All right, for those of you that are seeing the headlines and have sent me the headlines of the Ohio couple, attempting to spice up their sex life with some kinky role play turned horribly wrong last night as they were both shot by hunters while having sex in the woods in Sasquatch costumes. I just want you to know that that story is false. It did really happen. I know. I know. I thought the same thing.

I thought, what? I can't believe that something like this could turn horribly wrong. But then I looked and it was from World News Daily Report. And that literally is fake news. But I still want to see it because it's kind of funny. All right? I mean, fake, if you know that it's fake news, then it makes it funny. Right?

Got that? Like onion, fake news. What's the other one? the, the, Bub, Babylon B, yeah.

You know that it's fake, and that's what makes it funny. So I hope that the new good check, bad check, left check, right check, reward from Google

and Microsoft realizes that when they gives you the good check, bad check, left, check, right, check,

news, update. Welcome to chewing the fat. Good to see you. Oh, I mean it. You look great today. I don't care what they said. Monday, you look great.

Okay, so I want to talk to you about a story that I have that I saved the link to, and then I opened up the link here as we were getting ready to go into the show. Now it won't let me read the story because it has questions for me to answer. and it says, you know, support local journalism by taking a brief survey. I wish that it would say yes or no, because I would like to say, no, I want to read the story. That's how I'm supporting your local journalism by reading the story. So let's answer the questions together. Shall we see if we can get to the story?

Which of the following brands do you have a positive opinion about? Check all answers that apply. Car gurus. Auto trader. cars.com True car None of the above If you picked the ones that I picked

You win a brand new Target You know a little while ago My wife was out to shopping Something yeah you win a brand new Target My wife calls me and says She was going to go buy something

And because it was a great price She saw it online She was going to run into Target And get it So she runs into Target and she calls me back when she comes home and she says it was a different price at the store and I was like well what are you talking about they it was on it was on I know but it said when I went opened it up uh you know in the store it was a different price and they wouldn't tell it to me

so get this uh Target's app was doing that if you open the app up in the store it gave you a different price than what the app said outside the store what I want we were finding the receipt, I want my money back for that product. And I forget what it was. And it was, you know, it was probably a buck. No, it was more than a dollar. I mean, I just remember it was being, you know, it was like the reason we went there to purchase the product, the reason she made a specific stop into Target was because the

product that she wanted was such a good price, right? And then it's a different price when she gets in the store because she says, no, it's on the app. Look. And the price is different. Ah, yeah, no, they've admitted that. Yeah. The app uses geo-fencing and location data to make the determination where the customer is.

I love geo-fencing. That's a, you know, man, that's a good thing is geo-fencing. Can you explain geofencing? I absolutely can explain geo-fencing. Well, first, let me say this. The Democrats won't pay for it. All right. So you're not going to see it too much anymore because they don't want a fence around anything.

So geo fencing is done That's my explanation I'm just saying that beware of the products Okay Beware of products these stores are hawking online Because of Geofensing So I noticed Chris we were supposed to

You were supposed to join us Saturday night for a little gathering Oh the in-laws came by Sorry, the in-laws came by I know but we were just Going to this place for a couple hours Yeah yeah but the in-laws came by I had to take them out to eat, you know, banked down.

I mean, it was just a little gathering that we were all supposed to be that. I realized on Tuesday that I need to spend more time with my family. Really? Yeah. Why would that? I'm going to spend more time with my family. I mean, that's a, first of all, that will change soon. Okay, that doesn't last long.

I mean, if my wife is listening, it absolutely never changes, ever. I mean, that's all you want to do is spend time with you. your family. It changes. It changes. So anyway, we're out to this, we're out to this bar here in DFW. And I think, I think they posted a video of it, but the video doesn't do it justice. I saw, yeah, Brad posted it. So we're at this bar and around us, all these people are having birthdays. Really? I mean, the table behind us is having birthdays. There's a guy on this other side's having a birthday. There's some little kid over on the other side having a birthday and they bring you this warm cookie with vanilla ice cream on top with a candle.

So the waitress comes up and I'm like, so, you know, that's my birthday too. You said it like that? That's my birthday too. That's what we're here for. And she goes, really? Yeah, really. Hoping that she's not going to ask for my ID. I was close enough, right?

I mean, it was like within a week, really. Yeah. You know, all right, 10 days. And 10 or 11 days. And you didn't get to celebrate. That's right. Did you celebrate it? No, that's what we were celebrating with these people that I was with, right?

So she says, oh, okay. We'll bring it out. And she says, but you got to blow out the candle. Well, duh. Okay. So they bring it out. And we sing happy birthday to me. And I was like, you got this for me?

And the whole place, I, by, they started singing happy birthday. By the time we were done, half of this bar, it's a big bar. Yeah? Full of people. Half of the place of singing happy birthday to me. Wow. It was awesome. The table behind us was all happy because he had a birthday.

The table on the other side of us because they had a birthday were all happy. I mean, everyone was saying was awesome. Well, you know, you only are 200 once. Exactly. So that was the best 200th birthday. It made the night worth it just to have this whole place singing me birthday because I was just jealous of the other people getting birthday songs. So millennial of you.

Look at me. Nobody's paying attention to me. I'm just sitting here. Nobody just sees me. I mean, that really wasn't it. It was. Some millennial of you. Okay.

I guess so. How does it feel to be a millennial? Be birthday to me. And I will say, well, I didn't have any because I don't eat this stuff anymore. Yeah, you can't, yeah. The cookie and the ice cream. I'm told it was really freaking good. They bake it in this little hot tent, you know?

Oh, yeah. It's warm. The ice cream is melting on it. Is there any drizzling? Yes. What? Chocolate or caramel? Oh, caramel would have been good, too.

Yeah. Whip cream? Oh, you know, the ice cream. No, they just put the vanilla on it. No, they can't, they don't go out of them. Look, you're getting a cookie on some ice cream, and we're putting a candle on it. We're not charging you for it. So it was a happy birthday.

It's what you get out of this joint, okay? Did they sing the birthday song, the Happy Birthday song, or did they sing their version of Happy Birthday? They didn't sing it. See, we sang it. They brought it out to you. She was real nice and stood there, you know, made sure that the candle didn't blow out and stuff

because it did, she had to put it down. It went out, so she lit it real fast again. And you don't have a lighter anymore, right? Correct. Correct. And I got it. So, no, she's no lighter. And the same waitress or server.

How there you? Serve, I know. How there you? has a cat tattoo on her arm. So the one guy that I'm with asked her about the cat tattoo. And then she's, they start showing each other cat pictures. Oh.

You know, like, this is my cat. She goes, this is my cat. And they're like, oh, this is my cat. You have no idea. From now on, I am now carrying around a picture of a dead cat. Why? Because I brought up a cat that was dead. And I went, this is my cat.

Okay, so not very long ago, we talked on this very podcast that they, were asking people to stop kissing their chickens. Right?

Well, over the weekend, the CDC has now starting to beg people to stop cuddling their chickens. Are you kidding me? Now, according to the CDC, 1.2 million Americans contract salmonella every year. Now, the cause, of course, is usually food, meat, dairy, vegetables that, you know, contain the feces of a salmonella infected animal. But lately, more and more people are getting salmonella from their backyard chickens. 40 acres in a fool or whatever, 40 acres in a mule, whatever the heck the name of that podcast is with Cam Edwards.

It's on this network, right? Yeah, that's right, because he doesn't NRA thing too. But 40 acres and a mule is this network, right? Yes. Yeah, okay. And he's always talking about his stupid animals and his stupid chickens. Bonnie and Clyde, the two chickens. Right.

The sister, the siblings chickens. Has he been checked? Ooh. Has he been checked for Salmonella? I don't think so. We might, we should maybe call and ask. And you get infected through the podcast? Because I listen to his podcast every Monday.

We need to see if he's okay. We should check in on him. He has not posted his podcast today. Call him. Right now. I'm serious. Call him. I'll, I want him to pick up when I'm calling because we want to

check in on them. Put him on the air. Don't do it through your cell phone. Don't do it through your cell phone. Do it through the board. Can I get his number first? I don't have it. Talking to me right now isn't getting his number. He's so mad at me right now just for giving him crap about looking up the number. So anyway, while he's doing that because we are going to check in on cam. Just a just a checkup call. That's all. Just a government checkup call. Make sure he's okay. 23% of the people who reported Contracted Salmonella from homegrown fowl Had recently kissed their chickens

7% Snuggled them Are okay, this has to stop All right, this has got to stop All right, chicken petting and snuggling puts you at high risk for salmonella All right, I don't know if you know this But when chickens poop

and their fecal matter gets in the dirt and the dust and then they give themselves dust bass and picket the dirt and have you ever been around a chicken coop? Nasty. It's nasty. And you got to take, you know, I've had to, in another lifetime I actually had to clean chicken coops. And it's not fun.

And they're smelly and chickens are nasty, dirty little animals. So good to eat. But I know that PETA would disagree and say they're nice and they all have personalities. No. No. Not the chickens of the chicken coop.

Sorry. So stop kissing and cuddling your chickens. We're just, we're calling Cam Edwards right now because we want to check in and make sure that he's okay and isn't infected with salmonella because of kissing and cuddling his chickens. Hello, I'm looking to speak to Cam Edwards. This is he? Cam, this is Jeff Fisher from Chewing the Fat on the Blaze Podcast Network.

Uh, listen, I'm doing fine. Thank you. This is just a, this is just a wellness checkup, okay? Because I just got done, uh, reading about, uh, more and more people are being infected by kissing and cuddling their chickens with salmonella. And I just, this is just a wellness check. We, we, we, uh, it's a wellness check. And this is, this could be recorded and used against you at a later date, but, uh, you know,

it is, it is being recorded. And I just want to let you know, are you okay? Have you been checked? and have you cease and desist kissing and cuddling Bonnie and Clyde the chickens? You know, so here's a good thing. Yes. The short answer is yes, although there is going to have to be some contact with Clyde because he's gotten out once again.

So this is the second time that he's escaped. So we are going to have to try to catch him and put him back in. But there's been no cuddling. There's been some minor contact during egg collecting. but we always wash our hands afterwards. We're very, very conscious about that. The people who, like, kiss their chickens. First of all, like, my chickens wouldn't even let me get close enough.

It's, you know, it's an issue trying to catch them. They don't come over for kisses. That's just weird to me. Goats. Huh. I don't even, you know, I'll scratch and go behind the ears. I don't even want to kiss a goat. I mean, come on.

These are barnyard animals. I mean, have you tried to have you tried little... You know exactly where their mouths have been. I mean, have you tried to maybe, who's a good little chicken. Come here, baby. Come here. Come here. Maybe a little bit of that.

When we raised chickens from chicks, they were much more interested in us. Yes, I've been able to sit on the ground, and within like a couple of minutes, like pigeons, they would just come and they would hop on my legs and they would sit and they were greased on me. I don't want to know any more to that story. Exactly. Okay. So the ones that we've, you know, gotten as adults or we've gotten them as pull it, so they're like juveniles. Yeah, they don't, they're not friendly like that.

They, you know, they're happy to be here, but, you know, we're not their best friends. Well, I just want to let you know, Cam, that that whole little story that you told us and everything is fine and everything, but really this was just a wellness call. I just want to make sure you don't have salmonella, that's all. I'm good. As far as I know, I'm good. Yeah. I appreciate you checking in. No problem.

This could happen from time to time. The more stories we get of animals, you know, spreading sickness, I'm concerned about you here at chewing the fat. So we're just a wellness call. And, you know, I appreciate it. I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad you're okay. And just remember. You hear from you, sir.

Just remember, you know, just stop kissing and cuddling the chickens, is all I'm saying. Well, you know, if you'd kiss and cuddle me a little bit more, Jeff, I'd maybe wouldn't have to reach out for the chickens so much. Oh, man. Are we still on the air? Is that over? So the Bezos fight is still happening. I mean, amazing.

Right over this whole divorce thing you'd think. You'd think. I know we talked about it. We've talked about on this podcast. I love this story. I'm sorry, I got interrupted you, but do you want to get the bunk cake now? Because they're singing.

They are? They're singing right now. I don't care about singing happy birthday. But we could get some bunk cake. But I just want to bunk cake. All right, we'll be right back. We'll be right back. Please hold.

Your listenership is very important to us. We care so much about your listening. Someone will be with you momentarily. Please hold. Your listenership is so important to us. All our hosts are busy at this moment. Someone will be with you momentarily. All right.

So which one do you want? Do you want vanilla or do you want red velvet? Ooh, red velvet sounds good. Yeah. The vanilla looks awful good too. Yeah. The only one though. What?

You can't have both. Why? Because there's one for you, one for me. My freaking shell. It has nothing to do with a nothing bun cake. Cupcakes. I mean, I want the vanilla then. Okay, all right.

Hmm. They look good, though. Nothing bunt cake? Yeah, nothing bunt cake. There's a hardcore little... I know, the wrapping? Rapping, too. Yeah.

All right, who takes a bite? You take a bite out. Tell me how it is. Is there any filling? Probably shouldn't be eaten this. Just one bite. Don't eat the whole thing, though. Just one bite, yeah.

Okay. A little frosting on the top? I won't eat that either. That's bad for you. No, no, no, yeah. Check it off. No, there's no filling. Okay

Not bad If they brought this to us You should Try nothing but cake If we paid for this If we paid for this Uh huh I mean they're just an average

Your wife can bake Oh my god Better than this Let's hold Please hold While Jeff is chewing At this point He cannot

What continues to hold I want to be with you a woman's heroin. All right. Thanks for hold. It was worth the way. I guarantee you. It was worth the way. I promise.

There's not another podcast in America putting people on hold. While we eat cake. So stupid. But thanks for coming along for the ride today. I really appreciate it. So according to this, I'm sorry? Now back to Jeff Bezos' penis. Oh, yeah, that's where we're at.

We're at Bezos. Yeah, because, whoa, because what? Penis. No, it was just his thing pick. Oh, sorry. Man, what? This is a family program talking about. We put people on hold for bun cake eating.

We're concerned about people's health with kissing and cuddling chickens. It's a thing pick. Sorry. It's Bezos taking pictures of his thing. Bobby, what's his thing? No, his thing. Shut up back there. So the headline that I just saw.

Now maybe it was just a made-up national inquire headline said that they had them. Because remember, I mean, we talked about this a while ago where Jeff was putting out, it was no big surprise that Bezos was going to spend a little money on investigators and go out and, you know. Who is it? Hey, I need you answer the door, please. Yes, I did. Who is it? I work for Jeff. Jeff, who?

Just open the door for it. by your face off. I work with Jeff Bezos. I don't know you. Sorry. There's no, I mean, of course. He's out doing that. And then they made a big deal about it a week later or so.

Way ahead of the curve on that. You saw that. We call that. We call that, yeah. 100%. 100%. Now, so now he's still fighting because he claims that the National Inquirer is blackmailing him. He had some other lawsuits going on saying, hey, if you drop these suits and stop doing this,

then we won't post your thing picks. right so if you're following this case you want to see those thing picks and don't don't look at me like you do you know you do you know you do you can keep telling me no you don't no you don't you can keep saying oh gross no you can tell me why do people do that i can't believe people do that people shouldn't do that you can go down the list but when somebody hands you the phone and says, here's a picture of Bezos and his thing picks. You're looking. You're looking and going, oh, oh, good thing he's a billionaire.

Anyway, the good thing he's the richest guy in the world. So we haven't even got to the divorce proceedings yet. Have they filed? I don't know. I mean, I don't think so. I don't think I've seen anything. I think this is just news that they're going to go to divorce, right? I mean, he's got, Amazon's got, you know, they got board of directors.

and they got stock prices. They got to get this taken care of. I wonder what's happening the board of directors. They got to get that handled. Because she's, you know, she's been with them forever. From the beginning,

from the beginning. She helped start her. She was the first bean counter. That's amazing. And that's why she only deserves a quarter of the... We're not going to have this fight again. Anyway, she deserves half. Half.

Just because he's been the face of the company, he's, she deserves half. She's been there from the very beginning. Had his stupid kids. I had to put up with him going through his midlife crisis of Mr. I got to work out and shave my bald head. His laugh was so infectious.

So in love with him. Well, she's home raising the kids. No. She gets half. And she gets, and I mean half. And she stays on the board. If she is on the board, I don't know if she is. Do we know if she's on the board?

I don't think we ever found that out. All right. So she's not on the board. you know of course Jeff is a you know head kingpin so he he had this all planned that bastard she gets half unless she was off having the babies

you don't need to be on the board baby I'll take care of you but if they divorce and she gets a no matter what she gets she's got to retain she's got to retain shares of the company right I mean that's I don't know how much what Bezos has stockwise now

because I mean that's but if she ends up where she has you know those big companies you don't need very much to be controlling you know have worth billions vessels control 16% of the Amazon stocks 16

16 so divorce at half that's 8 and 8 8 oh and Forbes wrote a fantastic she might She might, let's say, let's say if I'm her. Okay, okay.

Let's say she doesn't want any interest in the company anymore. Really? She's stupid, but okay. Agreed. Well, let's say, she says, okay, I'll take $70 billion. Two houses, you pay for the upkeep of the houses forever until I die. You know what? You pay for the upkeep of the houses until the children die.

How about that? And then, and you keep your, You keep your Amazon stock. That might be what happened. Because Bezos's not going to want to give up his percentages, right? Or she gets, you know, 4% or something. So Jeff still has control. Okay.

I think I have to jump on your ship. I'm reading this Forbes magazine. I'm Forbes story. Jeff and McKenzie Bezos lives in Washington State. We all know that. Yeah. Washington. That's one of their homes.

Washington State is a community property state, which means... Assets accrued during the marriage must be split equally in a divorce. Assets. Yes. Oh, I said assets? Sorry. Assets.

So that means that Jeff Bezos' net worth could be divided 50-50. Yeah. Okay, I guess I'm jumping ship. I'm in your case now. I'm not even concerned about that. I'm just saying what's right. What's right? What's right as she gets half?

She's been there from the very beginning. And, you know, Jeff went off on his own little midlife crisis. Then, you know, I'm okay with him cheating. I'm okay with him cheating. I'm okay with him keeping, you know, keeping the mistress on the side, buying our house in El Paso next to the zoo. I don't care where. And I say that because we're going to talk to the guy at the El Paso Zoo coming up here in a minute.

I have El Paso on my mind. It's not a George Strait song. But we're going to talk to the El Paso people because they've got a great Valentine's Day thing coming up that we talked about, I don't know, last week, one of the days last week, Thursday or Friday about the El Paso Zoo and their Valentine's Day promotion. And we're going to talk to the guy at the El Paso Zoo and get the details on this great Valentine's Day promotion in a couple of minutes. But, okay, back to Jeff and the wife. So I don't care if Jeff has the The mistress And all of it

But when he starts Send in Picks Now we're out to embarrass the wife That's out to embarrass the wife And don't look at me like Why is he's cheating That's embarrassing to the wife as it is I know

But it's not out in the forefront When you start I don't know if Jeff knows this or not But if something goes on the internet It doesn't go away It's there forever Jeff. Okay?

Doesn't matter who you are. It's there forever. So, and I know he's mad. I know he's mad. He's mad that he doesn't have him. He's mad that somebody set him out. You know it was the girlfriend's

friend or whatever, right? She was all mouthy-mouthy, big deal. I mean, you know it was. You know it was. And that's why Jeff was sending... Who is it? Security, I need to talk to you for a minute, please. Security for what?

I'm working for security for Joe. Who? Joe, you know, the person you set the thing picks up. Oh, no, no, no. Mr. Jeff's not here. Mr. Jeff's not here. No, no, no. I'm just a cleaning lady.

Mrs. Jeff is not here. We'll be waiting right out here. Okay. So, I mean, the whole thing's about it. It wouldn't surprise me. It wouldn't surprise me that the overdoing of the arrest of Roger Stone from the FBI a week or so ago was pushed because of Jeff Bezos. Wouldn't surprise me.

Wouldn't surprise me. Why are you shaking your head? What? It wouldn't surprise me that Bezos had something to do with that. Why? Trying to shut down the inquire, man. Make a deal. This is what could happen to you, man.

But Rodgerson has nothing to do with inquire. That's his deal. It is? All right, we're done here. All right, so we've talked about states not having enough money to pay lottery winners before. You know, some states are struggling to pay lottery winners or some states, say, we'll pay you, but we can't pay you right now.

And that's, you know, we've talked about how that is, I don't know, what's the word, wrong? What's another word? Against the law. Ridiculous. But if they don't have the money, they can't pay you, right? That's why you take the cash payout, man. Get it and run.

But they also are having a problem in the state of Michigan, which is completely wrong as well. They can't pay the inmates who were wrongly convicted and have now been. been set free. So they're supposed, if you've been wrongly convicted, you're supposed to, you know, once you get set free, the state of Michigan is supposed to pay you 50,000 a year for every year you were incarcerated. All right. So one guy is supposed to get, you know, 500,000.

Another guy is supposed to get a couple million. And Michigan is like, hmm, look at that account. Look at the time. We can't wish we had. Sorry. Now, there's some money in the account, just not close to the full amount of what they need. So instead of giving, you know, a little bit saying, hey, you know, buy some food, buy a place to live, rent an apartment with some of the money. Now, there's not giving them any money.

Sorry, can't pay. Absolutely ridiculous. And, you know, these guys are already considered ex-cons, even though they've been found innocent. and I've been exonerated and have all the paperwork. Still people are looking at them like they're criminals. So they need the money to be able to survive and at least get a, you know, the one guy says,

all I want to do is buy a truck with a plow and, you know, maybe get to work and do, do my own little business there where I can, you know, charge and do that kind of stuff and not, you know, depend on these other companies and it will be okay. But he doesn't have the money. So this is coming. man I tell you it's a good thing that these guys are being found not guilty and they you know

it's a sad state of affairs that they were in prison for for something they didn't do and I'm happy that they're free but they're not really free because we are supposed to owe them money and pay them for their time in prison that they were wrongly incarcerated for and it's particularly in a state that passed a law that says they have to pay them. And then when it's time to pay them, ooh, look at the time. All right, so this weekend I get sent by multiple people. Stories about a house in New Jersey, suburban, not New Jersey, suburban Philadelphia in Pennsylvania.

And I was thinking of New Jersey because where we, when I lived in Pennsylvania, it was right there by the New Jersey Pennsylvania line. So this is close to where we used to live in Pennsylvania. That it's called 50 Shades of Maple Glen. And it describes a stately four-bedroom house that sits on a quiet private lane, three fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen, hardwood floors,

and a private adult sexual oasis. Yeah, the basement is a sex dungeon. And I don't know why people would send this to me all weekend long. Hey, seen it? Thinking of you! But so, and that was funny, and people send it to me, but all of a sudden now, they're having, there's a big uproar over this,

pitch to buy the house. Now, I would guess, and I haven't talked to anyone personally at all, but I would guess that 50 Shades of Maple Glen would be billed something else had they used real estate agents I trust.com. And perhaps real estate agentsitrust.com may have said, you know what, you need to find somebody else. Maybe that's what they did. I don't know.

Real estate agents I trust.com, ooh, you've got a sex dungeon. Yeah, boy, look at the time. Call you later, got to go. So, but it's a beautiful house. And, you know, it's not like you could, it's not like you couldn't make the sex dungeon into some other kind of room. Like maybe, I don't know.

A playroom, oh, wait, that's what it already is. A viewing room, wait. Yeah, never mind. You have to leave it just exactly the way it is. No question. So there's a state of emergency going on in a remote village in Russia. Another one? I know.

They're everywhere. Something is happening. Something is happening. Something is happening. We've said it before. We're going to say it again. What is going on? All right.

Something is going on. Something is happening. And we want to know. Okay. Because this particular. state of emergency is polar bears have taken over the town. I know. I know.

They're scared. Now usually, usually there's, you know, bears around the area and they're okay. But now they've declared a state of emergency because the polar bears are starting to attack the people. They're looking for food.

And it's, they've got the police coming in. They're trying to. scare him away. Shoe, shoe, shoe, shoe, little polar bear. Get out of here. Parents don't want to send their kids to school, which I don't blame them. Hey, go out and play.

Shoe, little polar bear. And the bad thing is, is that they're considered an endangered species. This is in Russia. Are you kidding me? This is going on in Russia, too. They're considered an endangered species. so they can't kill them. The bears can kill people.

Endangered or not. If the bears are attacking people, people need to be able to kill the bears. Period. Period. It sounds almost like this story might not be real, now that I'm saying it out loud, because I read the headline,

I'm like, okay. Because I would guess, and if you're in a small village in Russia, there's been polar bears around, You know, now you've got the invasion of polar bears in your city. And they're just, you know, roaming the streets and looking for food and you can't kill them. All you can do is go, shoo, shoe, in Russian, of course. What's the Russian word for shoo?

Shoo. Perfect. I said it exactly right then. I didn't use my Russian accent, but you can imagine what that would be in Russian. Shoo. What they should have done is called the El Paso Zoo. El Paso Zoo.

My man Rick is coming up here in just a second. And we're going to talk to him about their exciting Valentine's Day extravaganza. Sounds like it could be fun. So a week or so ago, I talked to you about the story that I heard about that the El Paso Zoo was offering, you know, having a special Valentine's Day celebration. And I thought, well, I've got to talk to someone from the El Paso Zoo. So we reached out and we got in touch with Rick Izaias, the media communications director, El Guru of the El Paso Zoo.

And they have a contest that is going on right now where you are able to purchase. your special Valentine. Make it a special Valentine's. Sure, you could buy flowers. Why? Why would you buy flowers? Tell them what they could buy, Rick. So what you can do is you can actually submit the name of your ex

to the Opaso Zoo via Facebook, instant messenger, and you put their first name and the last initial, and you submit it in honor, and we will put their name in honor of their name of your ex. will have a cockaroach that will be named after your ex. And that cockroach will then be fed to the meerkats at the El Paso Zoo. And that will be done on Valentine's Day. It's done.

You're just going to run them all out on Valentine's Day, right? Yes. So, yeah. What we're doing is we have, there's about seven meerkats at the zoo. So they're going to get a bunch of treats that day. And what better way, I guess, to get back at your ex, you know, and to keep it fun. You know, then to have a cockroach in honor of your ex's name. Now, if I purchase a cockroach and I want to see it,

will I, or are you going to live stream the Mirkats eating the cockroach with my ex's name on it? Yeah, so the cool thing about this, this event is that it's actually free of charge. What? But you can actually see this whole thing go down on our, on the El Pasozoo website, which is El Pasozozozo.org. Or you can see it on Facebook on the El Pasozoo Facebook page. You mean I don't even have to buy a cockroach? No, it's, this year we're actually doing just, we wanted it. We started off as just, you know, let's see if we get some sort of play.

And actually it does, it got, it blew up. I believe it. I believe it. So, yeah, you can actually see it on Facebook. So no charge this year. You just submit a name. So what, when you were in a meeting, Rick, and you came up with this idea. You know, I don't know that it was you because this sounds like an idea that this is just me talking off the top of my head.

It sounds like an idea that perhaps a female came up with. And, you know, actually that's funny that you said it because it actually was. It was our events coordinator. We have an event coordinator named Sarah Barrego, and she came up with this cool idea. And I wonder how Sarah came up with this idea. I wonder how she came up with this idea. I'd like to have my ex's name on the back of those cockroaches and those mere guys. Exactly.

We're not exactly sure how she came up with, but she did present it to us and we're like, hey, that sounds like a pretty good idea. We didn't think it was going to get a lot of attention, but my gosh, it has gotten so much attention. Heck, yeah. Yes, a lot of them. I love the idea. So it's free of charge this year, which is, you know, nice. I mean, they could still make a donation to El Paso Zoo.org, right?

Exactly. And we would like to, I mean, if you can make a small donation to our zoo and what we use it for is just for, you know, just for endangered species, you know, that's what the money would go to, because the zoo, obviously, we take care of animals and we make sure that they are taking care of. So anything to educate the public, and that's one other reason why, reasons why we did this, too, to let people know about the mere cats and all the good things that the El Paso Zoo does. And anything more than anything is to kind of, these are called enrichment activities. Not for the cockroach. Not for the cockroach, yeah. But for these, for these animals, you know,

they do get, they learn how it is out in the wild and they get this, this kind of like an exercise that they do every, every day, get them going and stuff. So this is a great thing all around. It's not to be cruel and not to be anything else. It's to quit bugging me event. It's just a really good thing to get out and to have people learn more about our zoo. Now, right now I'm living in the great state of Texas, but I spent a lot of time in Florida.

Okay. And they have a couple different cockroaches in Florida. And I was just wondering, you know, is there a specific kind that the meerkats eat? Is there a specific kind that you're, you know, like the ones that fly would be, I would be all four. You know, but you're putting a name on that the meerkats are getting? No, no, no specific ones. I can tell you they're a little bit bigger than normal. They normally, myerkats eat worms and insects and little crickets, things like that.

But these ones are a little bit bigger than normal, and they're actually treats. So they're going to get treated pretty well with these cockroaches. Nice. So if I want, are you going to be able to be, I mean, could you watch this live if you were, you know, let's say I was driving around and I went, oh heck, there's the El Paso exit. Let's go to the zoo. Could I come and watch it live as well? Yeah, if you want to come to the zoo, you're more than welcome to come to the zoo, although there is a fee to come inside the zoo. But of course, that fee is for the animals.

Yeah, of course. You come into the zoo. The event starts at 2 o'clock, so I recommend people to go in 2 o'clock. On Valentine's Day. Yeah, I'm Valentine's Day in February 4th. 14th. February 14th. And then so you come down and yeah, you can go. What's going to happen is we're going to have all the names of all the exes that people have submitted on this wall, I guess on this glass thing. And there's, I can tell you, there's already been over a thousand, more than a thousand. Oh, yeah. That was since Friday of this past week. But there's been, there's so many of us. So what's going to happen is once that happens, once we put all the names up, they're going to just release the roaches and then have the, you know, these meerkats go at it. So, yeah. That is fantastic.

Now, I will say this, though, just as a side note. And I know you don't have any control over it, but you guys are closed today, right? Yes. That's a little disappointing. Yeah, you know, we're close today because of the presidential visit. He's coming to town. Is he actually coming to the zoo? No, no.

Not visiting the zoo, but he's actually the place where he's speaking is right across from the zoo. Oh. Yeah, so there's just too much traffic, too much going on. staff decided to be best to just go ahead. Now, I'm willing to bet that he's got a couple of exes that he might be willing to put on a cockroach. You never know. All right, so Rick, we go to your Facebook page, which is El Paso Zoo, right? Or we can just go to the website to El Paso Zoo.org.

And you could participate in quit bugging me. And name a cockroach after your worst or favorite X and spend a special Valentine's Day. watching that cockroach get eaten by a mere cat. Exactly. What a great way if you're a scorn lover to spend part of your Valentine's Day, right? Rick, thank you very much, man. I appreciate your time. I really appreciate it, and I'm glad the event is going well.

I hope it does smashing for you. And I really think that, you know, I mean, at least a buck of roach. What are you talking about that? Let me tell you something real quick before I let you go. We might. We're probably going to do that next year. We're probably going to do that next year, but we're looking at already maybe doing something for

Bosses Day. Oh. You know, for Bosses Day. That's kind of in the works. I like that idea. And if you need help promoting Bosses Day, I'm willing to help. We're willing to partner up with chewing the fat.

No question. All right. You got it. We'll stay in touch. Perfect. Yeah, absolutely. Now, you have the email. Chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Just let me know. We're partnering up with Bosses Day. I mean, I want those mere cats to be fat on cockroaches. And I think they will be.
