Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Chewing the Fat on Demand. Welcome to it. This is Chewing the Fat with yours truly, Jeff Fisher. And today is a very special day. And I say that, I mean, every day is a special day on chewing the fat. But today, today, not only do we have breaking news that you will just put a big smile on your face. We also have the fat pile to go through. And I mean, today we have a serious fat pile.
Starting point is 00:00:35 It's Fat Pile Friday. My breaking news. Could I save this story? Yes, I could. And get right to the fat pile? But no. No, this is the reason that there is fat piles. Okay, because other stories pop up and I decide that I have to do them.
Starting point is 00:00:56 So the fat pile, we'll get to it. We just might not get to all the fat. Alec Baldwin, bless his heart. arrested earlier today, November 2nd, 2018. He was arrested because he was trying to hold a parking spot open near his house. I love the fact of thinking about Alex standing out in front of his building with a parking space, just standing there telling people, keep moving, keep moving, waiting for the wife or his friend to pull up.
Starting point is 00:01:33 And so somebody just pulled in. He got into a fight, punched the other man, told him to F off. You know, do you know who I am? This is my spot. I'm holding it open. You can't park here. And the other person decided, I don't care who you are. I can park here.
Starting point is 00:01:53 The spot is open. Get out of my way. So he was arrested. It's a third-degree misdemeanor crime carrying a maximum punishment of one year in jail. All right, no way he goes to jail for this. I mean, he just gives the guy a few bucks and we're moved on, right? There's no way he goes to jail for this. Alec Baldwin.
Starting point is 00:02:14 But I will say, last month, remember, when we talked about Alec Baldwin, I did talk about him being back on his meds. This proves that he's back off him again. And that's what happens, right? With people who are, who need meds to calm themselves down. They go on. the meds and they start feeling good and everything is wonderful and we're good to go and life is good. You know what? Life is so good. I don't need to even take my meds. And then off the deep end you go. And that's where he's at. So good. And even our president, Donald Trump, commented earlier
Starting point is 00:02:55 today on the Alec Baldwin situation. I want to quote our president Donald Trump for you. I wish him luck Thank you Don Thank you Appreciate it That's perfect answer Perfect I wish him luck
Starting point is 00:03:17 Plus he's in trouble anyway He tweeted out his picture Did he tweet put it on Instagram and Facebook I mean he put it on all the social media accounts With his picture That said Sanctions are coming But he used the Game of Thrones
Starting point is 00:03:34 the font of Game of Thrones for sanctions are coming. You know, obviously, if you don't watch Game of Thrones, winter is coming. You know that their winter is coming. And Game of Thrones, of course, was just jumping for joy that Donald J. Trump was using their font for his Twitter account and sanctions. They are not happy at all. And so that'll be a nice little. battle. I don't know if HBO will go after him for that or just they'll take the hit
Starting point is 00:04:09 from the Game of Thrones actors and actresses beating him up. If that's just the case, Trump can handle that. That's like every day, right? But HBO has commented? Oh, no. Wow. Did you say that on the air? Say that on the air. Seriously. Chris Cruz. Nothing but time waiting for you. podcast, it's okay. I said that HBO sent out a tweet saying, how do you say trademark misuse in Doraki? Dothraki?
Starting point is 00:04:46 Yes, Dothraki. Yeah. Is that their language? Do you not watch Game of Thrones? I'm still a season three. Sophie says, ill. Sophie Turner, one of the actresses. And Massey, William, says, not today.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Yeah, because there's no way that any of those people on Game of Thrones like Donald Trump. There's just no way. They're all Hollywood dogoers. HBO says, we were not aware of this messaging and will prefer our trademark not be misappropriated for political purposes. Oh, yeah. That's their official statement. Now, I'd like to see, right, but... I mean, it's a font, right?
Starting point is 00:05:37 You can't trademark a font. HBO would probably differ. Their attorneys are probably going to differ with that and say, you know what, we can't. We can't trademark a font, and we want that removed. I mean, that's what normally happens, right? He'll take a big hit for it. But normally when you do something like that in media, say, if I played a song for an open of chewing the fat, and I just played it.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Now, A, they would charge the Blaze a bunch of money because it's happened before. And if I, usually what happens, though, they would say, they would send a cease and desist. And they would say, hey, knock it off. We don't want you using our song. Don't use it anymore. And all the shows that you've, that you've aired that have the song, get rid of. and so you do unless you want to fight in court over the song
Starting point is 00:06:34 and you you get rid of it you don't use it anymore and you go back and you take it out of the past for shows period and you it doesn't cost anybody any money except for time and time and energy but since it's Trump
Starting point is 00:06:49 I mean they might go after him hard just to prove a point that's a tough one man I mean there's all he's going to do is sanctions are coming. He's just trying to be funny. You know, get over your hate a little bit.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Plus, good Lord, HBO. It's been so long since a new episode of Game of Thrones. Nobody even remembers your font. I mean, you've got the new season coming up. When? Another three or four months or five months. So 2019. And you couldn't even do a full season.
Starting point is 00:07:24 You've got like maybe four and a half episodes or something? Actually, I think there's like six or eight. But it's not the point. There are other seasons were all 10 to 14 episodes. They couldn't even pull that off. I mean, come on. And now you're going to get pissed
Starting point is 00:07:38 because the president has given you a little promotion with the font. He should charge you. Then I sounded like Fox there for a second. We've got to move on. I've got to stop. All right. Let's get to the fat pile,
Starting point is 00:08:04 shall we? And by the fat pile, just so you understand what I'm talking about. All week, we do stories, and we try to bring you, you know, interesting stories, and we try to bring you updating new stories and stuff that I like that I think you'll like. We try to have some fun.
Starting point is 00:08:19 But as the week progresses, you end up with just a stack of stories you never get to. And you can see when I post, we started doing a daily Instagram every day, a pre-show Instagram, on the stories that we're going to do and ideas that Chris has and ideas that I have and stories that we have lined up.
Starting point is 00:08:38 and you can see that there's usually two or three rows of stories and they're great stories, we talk about them, we got great ideas, and then we just don't get to them. There's just the interest of time. We just don't get to them. You know, we tried, this podcast is about, you know, anywhere from 40 to 45 minutes long because I want to keep you engaged. You know, I could do a three-hour podcast every day,
Starting point is 00:09:05 but you don't want that. You know, I want you to be able to download the podcast and listen on your way home, download the podcast and listen while you're, you know, you're making dinner, you're putting around after dinner, you know, or you're riding somewhere, you're taking your kids to some game and you're listening to the podcast. That's fine. That's what I want. And I just feel like a three-hour podcast is just, okay, that's enough.
Starting point is 00:09:30 And that's what I try to do sometimes with the Saturday podcast. They sometimes are a little bit longer because I do an interview and stuff that, you know, I think are a little bit more engaging and you have a little bit more time on the weekend. So anyway, all that being said, we'll get to the fat pile. All right? We've got the Conners.
Starting point is 00:09:49 I'm going to start at the top. I've broken it in two. It's just like a deck of cards. Look, let me split the deck in half. Now, pick a story. The Connors with Roseanne, crashes and burns. ABC orders just one more episode. That's too bad.
Starting point is 00:10:04 I feel like they never gave that show a fair shot. You know, they, I feel like, because it wasn't that bad. I kind of enjoyed it. There were some things that could have been done differently, but I enjoyed it. And I think that they, I don't think they gave it enough. I don't think they gave it enough time. The network still has the view on it. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:10:25 You still got the, those wonderful females on that show on the air every day. And you can't give the Connors a couple more weeks? It just doesn't. It doesn't seem right. What do I know? The eight-year-old girl that found the Swedish Viking-era sword. So cool. She's walking in a lake.
Starting point is 00:10:49 A little eight-year-old goes, oh, what did I just step on? Oh, man, I feel like I stepped on something. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. It's a sword. She pulls it up out of the water. It says, hey, dad, look at this. Dad comes rushing up, checks it out.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Texas says, whoa, whoa, whoa. Now they believe it's pre-viking. Fifth or sixth century, AD, pre-viking. It's amazing. It looks really cool. And it's been underwater in the dirt forever. I mean, it's preserved. The water's really cold in the lake that they were at.
Starting point is 00:11:23 And, of course, they blame it on, you know, climate change. Because the water's so low that she was able to walk on it. Oh. Is that it? Okay. Another thing that kind of ticked me off about this story. the dad takes it and gives it to the museum and says, yeah, they can have it.
Starting point is 00:11:42 No? How about the eight-year-old girl say no? Dad, that's mine. I found it. How about we keep it? Maybe at least, I don't know. Sell it? I was going to give it to the museum?
Starting point is 00:11:59 No? Well, it's better for the future. The museum has it and they're able to hold it. No. If my daughter found that and said, Dad, we should give it to the museum, that's it. She's out.
Starting point is 00:12:16 She's out. Well, if she gave it to Mercury 1, all right, on the air, as I'm talking to you, and she said, we should give it to Mercury 1, Dad. I would say that you're right, honey. We should go to bed. And then when she got up to the next morning, she'd forget about it.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Because, I mean, we should give it to Mercury 1 after we figure out exactly how much it's worth so we get our, you know, our tax benefits out of it. I was going to give it to them for nothing. Right? No?
Starting point is 00:12:51 Mercury 1.org. Help me if you can't. All right, so don't be pulled Mercury 1 out of the hat on me like that. I'm talking about this girl as sweet. giving it to a museum. Don't make me feel bad. Still, though. Still, should be yours, right?
Starting point is 00:13:15 Let's move on. Before I get myself into more trouble with Mercury One, Mercury.org. By the way, there are a gala's coming up with 17th of this month, November, right here at the Mercury Studios in Dallas, Texas, Irving, Texas, Las Galinas, Texas, same place. Yeah, it's all DFW, same thing. And you should come.
Starting point is 00:13:34 You should come. Or you can just go to Mercury1.org. and look at the auction items that they've got on sale online. We usually have a live auction here as well during the gala. You can get a raffle ticket for the new Mercedes-Benz, $100, get you in the drawing. You don't even have to be here. You don't have to be present to win.
Starting point is 00:13:52 I kind of, I don't like that. That must be some law. Because I think if you're not here, you're not getting a car. Right? Put your hundred bucks in and you show up for the gala. We're not good enough for you to show up. you're not good enough to get the car. But that's not the way it works.
Starting point is 00:14:11 That's not the way it works. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter whether you're here or not. If we draw your ticket number, you win the car. As was proof positive last year. The couple that won the truck, they weren't here. They came in to get it, though.
Starting point is 00:14:27 It was quick to show up to pick it up, though. They couldn't be here for the night. And I guess they're going to be here for the drawing of the Mercedes, too. so it'll be, yeah, it'll be good to see them. They're the one drawing the number, and it'll be fun. I've driven, did I draw the one year. I think I did draw the number one year. Don't shake your head.
Starting point is 00:14:44 I think I did. We were up on stage with the hopper. The numbers, we were up on stage with the hopper, and I was with Dana and Glenn. We were up there. You sure? You sure I didn't pick the number for the Mercedes? Or was it Glenn?
Starting point is 00:15:02 Because it was a Mercedes that year, too, a couple, two or three years ago. when we were up at you're pissing me off now Chris Cruz Mr. Mercury 1 expert LA District Attorney We're moving on we're good we got a fat pile to get to LA District Attorney declined sex assault case against Sylvester Stallone What I thought everybody was guilty
Starting point is 00:15:26 Los Angeles County District Attorney's office on Tuesday announced it declined a case of sexual assault filed against Sylvester Stallone According to a case document the female victim claims she was assaulted by the the actor in 1987 and 1990. While the victim did provide witnesses, none of their versions of events
Starting point is 00:15:48 corroborated the claims made. The Statue of Limitations had also passed on allegations. Last December, Sylvester Sly was accused of sexual assault and a claim made by the Santa Monica Police Department. The actor, if you remember correctly, disputed those claims vehemently.
Starting point is 00:16:08 but the Santa Monica police in the Me Too movement era filed the case. Previously, the district attorney declined to prosecute sex crime cases against Kevin Spacey, Anthony Anderson, Steven Segal, and because of Statue of Limitations had passed, and one reporting party declined to be interviewed by authorities for the case. Now, of course, they're still reviewing cases against Harvey. We don't want to make any bad moves against Harvey because he's the founding, father of the Me Too movement, and he's everything that's been claimed against Harvey is absolutely true 100%. It has to be believed. He's guilty. Except, you know, maybe not. Maybe not. So anyway, Sly's good, and it was, you know, good for him to do. You still have time today,
Starting point is 00:16:57 if you're listening on November 2nd, 2018, Starbucks giving away the free usable, reusable cups, the red cups, the holiday Starbucks cups, go there today. They give you the free cup. You're going to buy the coffee of stuff That's how free it is. It's free, but you've got to buy the coffee. And you can only buy, they're giving you a free cup, but you'll,
Starting point is 00:17:18 but you have to buy one of the six holiday drinks to go in it. You get the peppermot mocha, toasted white chocolate mocha, the caramel brulee latte. The caramel brulee latte is the one my wife loves. And she does not a big Starbucks fan, but she loves that caramel brulee latte.
Starting point is 00:17:36 The chestnut preline latte. latte or the gingerbread latte or the eggnog latte. I just want my French vanilla cappuccino, please. Why can't I just get, I'll tell you what. I want to order the peppermint mocha made like a French vanilla cappuccino in the holiday cup. Okay? Can we do that? No, sir.
Starting point is 00:18:03 But if you order that, then you get your little reusable cups from a stock. Starbucks, the Red Holiday Cubs, and it's just so gosh darn cute. And what's good about them, this is what's cool about them. Starbucks, okay, you use it again at Starbucks, and they give you a whole 50 cents off the next purchase. Huh? How cool is that? From November 3rd to January 7th, anytime you purchase a holiday beverage. So I could go get a French vanilla cappuccino, but still they wouldn't give me the 50 cents off.
Starting point is 00:18:41 I guess they'd put it in my holiday cup, but they wouldn't give me the 50 cents off. You get 50 cents off your drink order. Huh? Now, that's the red Starbucks cup. The four other holiday cups, the retro designs, houndstooth, hounds tooth, and stripes, and are varying shades of red, green, and white. Those are the regular holiday ones. You don't get to reuse those.
Starting point is 00:19:13 And you can get Starbucks for the holiday blend coffee cake cups in grocery stores and on Amazon now, but you're not going to be able to get the reusable red cup. Sadly, I spend too much money at Starbucks. And not because I'm a big Starbucks fan, but, you know, like I said, my wife likes that caramel brule latte. and my daughter loves the pink drinks, the strawberry pink drinks. So the first few times I went through the drive-thru, can I help you? Yes, like the large strawberry pink drink.
Starting point is 00:19:50 And the guy on the other end is kind of like, okay. By myself buying a pink drink, giving me the look of, oh, okay. I mean, Starbucks judging me. Starbucks is judging me ordering a strawberry pink drink? I think not. I think not. Toronto Airport, we did this, right? The cannabis trash cans are not free weed bins.
Starting point is 00:20:17 We did this story. Why is this in the fat pile? Right? We did this story. I told you we did some of the stories. I'm just saying that's in the fat pile, but we did this story earlier. Right? You like to recycle the power.
Starting point is 00:20:31 This story actually was done already. Wasting the people's time. Going to the fat pile with these old stories. KFC gives a huge prize to a couple. Did we do this story? Yes, you did, I told you. We did the story? Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:48 No, we did. We did the KFC story? Yep. Arlin. Yesterday? $11,000. Yesterday? Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:57 We did? We talked about it, but I don't think we never made it to air, right? It did? I haven't used my, what I'm going to name, my kids punchline and everything? Go ahead. No, I'm just asking if we actually did that? Go ahead. Don't roll your eyes.
Starting point is 00:21:12 What's the name? What's the name? McDonald's is bringing back $6 classic meal deal. That doesn't sound like much of a deal. It doesn't not sound like much of a deal. I'm sorry. The $6 classic meal deal. Six bucks.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Six bucks you get a quarter pounder with cheese, Big Mac, 10-piece chicken McNuggets, or filet of fish. That's good. One of those, with any one of your choices, you get any size soft drink. Okay? So if you're, no matter what you get, I mean, if you, if you, if you normally had a McDonald's and you order a small and you're going to eat inside, always order a small because you can refill for free.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Just don't let them catch your refill. And the, you can get a small, any size soft drink or sweet tea and a small fry. as well as an apple pie or seasonal pie for dessert. For six bucks, that seems too much. It really does. So I get a burger or a fish fillet, 10-piece nuggets. All right, one of those. He had a small fry?
Starting point is 00:22:30 No, no, honey. Maybe a medium. I mean, you're getting a little chintzy on the fries lately anyway. And you're a little kid's meal fry that's about the size of two fries? No, thank you. In fact, the first time that was purchased in my life, I about sent it back. I could not believe that's what they were saying is the fries for the kids' meal. I seriously, I guess it's too fat.
Starting point is 00:22:57 I'm too fat, is what it is. Plus, they've done something to their fries. Remember when they mess with their fries and something? They don't taste the same anymore. Yeah, they mess with the oil. The oil is supposed to be better for you, and it's not the same. It's not the same. I get that, you know, they don't want me to have a heart attack because of McDonald's fries.
Starting point is 00:23:15 It's too late. If I'm ordering a large thing of fries for McDonald's, it's not up to you to decide whether it's not your fault. It's not up to you. We did the British Food Magazine. That's in there. I mean, we did this story. Why isn't in the fat pile? We've done the McRib story.
Starting point is 00:23:36 We did the McRibb story. We did the McRib story on Pat. We didn't do the McRib story on this show because McDonald's was bringing. back the McRib, and God bless their hearts for the McRib. Now, somewhere in this fat pile is actually what's in the McRib, because this story was the one I did on Pat Grant-Aged that talks about the sandwich being a boneless pork patty, barbecue sauce, onions, and pickles. That's what the McRib is.
Starting point is 00:24:04 However, when you delve into it just a little bit deeper, and when we go a little bit farther into the fat pile. We're going to tell you exactly what is in the trying to see if I can actually find it fast here in the fat pile. Digging through the fat. Should have put some gloves on.
Starting point is 00:24:27 All right, well play some music or something while I'm digging through the fat pile. Let's see if I can find the McRib what's in the actual McRib because it is real good.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Oh, here it is. In fact, this is 10 facts of... I know I want to know 10 meaty facts about McDonald's McRibb sandwich. I mean, seriously, no matter what fat pile, we're not going through all 10. Maybe 7. All right, so the sandwich contains no kangaroo. This is one of the 10 facts. This is how they get to 10.
Starting point is 00:25:10 That's like the slideshows. It's like the slide shows. The story slide shows. Find out what really happened on the set of the Brady bunch. 18 slides in. You get to the actual fact. The first 17 slides are when they first started, then they had this happen. So the sandwich contains 70 ingredients.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Not just the meat sauce. Not just the boneless pork patty barbecue sauce, onions and pickles. 70 ingredients. And even in this 10 meaty facts, they don't even give you all of the 70. There's more to a McRib than barbecue sauce slathered pork on a bun with onions and pickles. The sandwich contains us 70 different ingredients. The least innocuous of which are pig bits like tripe. heart and scalded stomach, add in some
Starting point is 00:26:16 azodicarbonamide, ammonia, ammonium sulfate, ethoxylated mono-indiglycerides, and that's where they stopped. I mean, I want to know the 70. We've got to get the list of the 70. Because they're all going to be ethloxicated monosidididylacid
Starting point is 00:26:39 as a dark carbon amide ammonium sulfate and pig bits try heart-scalded stomach what are you supposed to do when you kill the pig throw the stuff away no no
Starting point is 00:26:58 you take the stomach you boil it you cook it serve it on a microwave all right might as well continue digging through the fat pile before we get to break room and a few headlines on the water cooler. U.S. troops drank almost all the beer in Iceland. Tremendous story.
Starting point is 00:27:20 American troops landed in Iceland in preparation for the NATO military exercise. The NATO military exercise, they showed up. The exercise, there's going to be like six or seven thousand soldiers there. And the exercise is called Trident Juncture. Trident Juncture. All right. So they show up and they're there from end of October until the end of this week. All right.
Starting point is 00:27:53 So they were there for a couple weeks. They were like October 25th through the end of this week in November. November 7th, I think is the last thing that they're there. There's 10,000 vehicles, 150 aircraft, 65 naval vessels, 50,000 troops from NATO's 29 allies, including Sweden and Finland, they're all taking part of the Trident Juncture. However, once the Americans arrived last week, the bar owners had to make emergency trips to suppliers in order to keep up with the demand by the Americans. One bar owner said, we're fighting an overwhelming force.
Starting point is 00:28:31 They emptied the bars. They emptied the bars. One commanding general, though, when asked about it, he's a, the commanding general of the Marine Corps's second division, one of those divisions that the military has. You know what I'm talking about. There's some guy in charge of a few guys. And it's got the title commanding general.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Who doesn't get a title like that? And he was like, yeah, I don't think there's going to be any more time for our soldiers, for my guys to be drinking here for the Trident Juncture. So he let him out. He let him out and now he brought him back in and said, nah, we're not going to drink the country dry. Yeah, we've got work to do. It's too much bad press.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Have a nice day. That was a polite way of saying, yeah, we're just not going to have the time. It's not going to have a time. They've been very kind to us. This story kind of ticks me off a little because they do these kind of stories to make us hate them. And there's no reason to hate them. Billionaires made more money in 2017 than any.
Starting point is 00:29:38 year in recorded history. Good. But see, they want to tell you, this is by Sophie Weiner. I don't know if there's any relation to Anthony. I just know they might be, you know, the same family tree, the same Weiner tree. Has most of the world spirals into apocalypse? Is it? Is most of the world spiraling into an apocalypse?
Starting point is 00:30:05 Sophie Weiner? billionaires are still still doing just fine. Good. How does what they make affect me other than the possibility of having a job? Creating jobs. Creating things. It's no problem. I'm happy they're there.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Whether they lose or make billions, I know they make a big deal about Bezos losing like 17 or 18 billion in a couple of. a couple of days because of the stock market. So, I don't want him to lose money. I want that pie to get bigger. I want more pies made, more pieces of the pie. There's not just one pie. Sophie Wiener. There's multiple pies.
Starting point is 00:30:58 And you can get your piece of that multiple pie and make it your own. That's what the free market and capitalism does. That's what makes America. Great. But I know the rest of the world for you is spiraling into an apocalypse. Ugh. Foreign restaurant brands that could be your next domestic competitor. We did this already.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Another story is still in a pile. Thank you, Chris. That pile. Drunk baggage handler falls asleep. Oh, see, this is, how does this really happen, though? So, first of all, we got drunk baggage handlers. Right, the guys that are out there out the tarmac drunk. American Airlines says the Piedmont airline employee.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Have you ever flown Piedmont? I have. I've flown all these. Fine, fine airlines. Was working American Flight 363 on Saturday. It's a Boeing 737 left out of Kansas City International. The handler was in a heated and pressurized cargo hold. Passes out.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Yeah, we found them in Chicago. Passed out of drugs. so good. No charges were filed. He was sent back to Kansas City. You want to talk about a strong union? Right there's a strong union. The guy's drunk on the job, passes out, found it in another airport. They fly him back. They don't just leave him in the pressurized cargo bin and throw them underneath the next plane and fly him back. They flew him back inside. No charges. I'm just grateful the handler wasn't injured. Are you? That's great. That's a strong union right there.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I mean, that's why no wonder the head guy of American Airlines hates the unions. Oh, did I say that out loud? They're always fighting the unions, and that's probably why. But you can get away with that as a worker? Come on now. Could you keep your job if you fell asleep drunk? I think not. I think not.
Starting point is 00:33:03 But if I fell out here drunk at the Mercury Studios, where would I end up? Wherever I passed out at? Hey, nobody's going to move me There'll be tons of pictures Glenn would even be retweeting that Jeffie drunk passed out at work again I just tweeted Glenn Beck's tweet Thank you
Starting point is 00:33:28 More news from American Airlines in the fat pile This is one of my favorite stories And why it's still in the fat pile I don't know Because I wanted to get to it earlier this week So a lady lands and she picks up the suitcase and gets it home, opens it up, and it's not her stuff. None of her stuff is in it. Now, it looks as though, when you see the picture, it looks like airline stuff.
Starting point is 00:34:02 It looks baggage ties, big ropes, you know, all that kind of stuff. Yellow jacket, that kind of stuff that you'd need for workers at the airport guys that are sober and or drunk on the tarmac and she takes a picture of it and tweets American Airlines how bad they are and they've stolen her luggage and she's I'll never fly American Airlines again and that's it well now the the tweet that she was beating up American Airlines on has been deleted why was it deleted because because American Airlines looked into it, and she picked up the wrong bag. She picked up the wrong bag.
Starting point is 00:34:46 And she tweeted, oh, they found my bag. It was just a mix-up. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Oh, I apologize for the confusion. Thank you all in AA for help me locate it. The jet lag must have really taken its toll. I was going crazy. Going?
Starting point is 00:35:06 Yeah. That's what I thought. How about, I know I said I'd never. ever fly American again, but I will fly. One thing I do find a little strange, though, is that, obviously, one of the first things I thought of when I read the story, and it was posted, you know, even some of the thread was like, it can't be her bag. Right?
Starting point is 00:35:31 It was all work stuff. And she must have grabbed the wrong bag. Now, they made her fill out a form. she filled out a form why wouldn't American Airlines at that time say hey we've got this extra bag here this one kind of looks like yours right
Starting point is 00:35:54 looks like kind of the one that we were using with our stuff in it that you picked up she claimed it had $8,000 worth of items in it stop it do you fly when you fly are you flying with $8,000 worth of items in it. Okay, I'm not talking about Kim Kardashian and Kanye flying with jewelry to take it to Paris to get robbed for an insurance scam. Oh, that's just me speculating now. I don't know that to be
Starting point is 00:36:23 true. They did, you know, Kim did get robbed. They pulled Kanye off the stage. He had no part in it. He flew over to rescue his wife and be with his wife safely in Paris because she was robbed of, you know, thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and an inside job. at a time when he was begging Facebook for money. I just, I'm not saying they had anything to do with it. It's just my speculation as all. Do you fly with that much jewelry, $8,000 worth of stuff? Come on now.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Come on. Nobody. Nobody's flying American Airlines. American Airlines now. No one is flying American Airlines and putting their luggage underneath that has $8,000 worth of stuff in it. I believe that you fly. with that much flying private?
Starting point is 00:37:14 I believe that you maybe have a carry-on of a suit that you purchased or a dress and some jewelry that's your carry-on. I believe that. Luggage? No. No. I don't buy it. But they didn't have to worry about it anyway because she was the one that picked up the wrong stupid bag.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Sorry American Airlines. This jet lag's really getting to me. They don't have much to say, though, when they've got drunk people in their pressurized cargo bin underneath the plane passing out flying to different cities and doesn't get in trouble. That's a good gig.
Starting point is 00:37:54 I need a drink. Desperately need a drink. So good. Any reaction to the rest? Who is the rest? Alec Baldwin. He punched somebody out during a parking dispute. I wish you were.
Starting point is 00:38:15 That's it. Mr. President. So good. Even the press. was laughing. Even the press was laughing at Trump with his comments of Alex. What's he supposed to say?
Starting point is 00:38:27 And then he said, that's it. He just shrugs his shoulders. Like, what do you want me to say? I'm busy. You hear, I'm getting ready to get on a plane. I'm busy. What do you want from me? You're always asking me everything? And I answer you. And then you make fun of me. Screw off. I wish Alex
Starting point is 00:38:43 the best. A nut job plays me on Saturday Night Live. They thought it was funny. I don't think he's funny. I've already tweeted. You already know that I don't like him. What do you want me to do? All right, so a couple things to remember here as long as we're in the break room. It's time change weekend. Today's November 2nd, 2018.
Starting point is 00:39:01 So we have to fall back. Remember, spring ahead, fall back, time change weekend. So you have to get up at 2 a.m. Sunday morning. That's when the time change. All right, 2 a.m. Sunday morning. you can get up and change your clocks. And that's such a weird thing now
Starting point is 00:39:23 because rarely does anyone have a clock that they set back anymore, right? I mean, I think I have one in the bathroom. I have one hanging up in the bathroom that's, I just like it. I like it. And I like it. And I have one in the closet. I like it.
Starting point is 00:39:35 It's an old clock that my grandparents had that I like it. So I have to change that. You have to change the coffee maker, right? You've got to change the oven. It's a clock on the oven. You've got to change the clock on the microwave. The rest of the clocks Nobody wears a watch anymore
Starting point is 00:39:53 Nobody wears it You have to change you in the car In your car That's why you need Internet of things right Everything connected Because everything phones Laptops computers
Starting point is 00:40:06 Cable boxes TVs All change Boom done But that kind of stuff Yeah what's left maybe It's cars Anything else Whatever clocks you have, whatever little clocks you have,
Starting point is 00:40:20 some people still have an alarm clock that isn't internet driven. So you have to change that. Like I like the clock in the bathroom and I like the clock I have in the closet. Those are just battery power that were my, their old clock. I like having clocks.
Starting point is 00:40:35 I'm a radio guy, so time is like important. I like to be able to see the time. But I don't like wearing watches anymore. I carry the phone. That's my time. phone is your watch. I know Apple's trying to get me to wear their Apple watch and everything, and even Samsung and, you know, they all want you to wear their watches.
Starting point is 00:40:56 No, thank you. Watch is stopped. All right, watches. The people who wear watches now are the people that, oh, I liked watches. That's when it was a good time I got to wear jewelry and wear this big watch on my wrist. Glenn.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Anyway, the, and I used to like watches. I still have there. I still have some watches in, boxes. I'm not wearing them. Just, no. It's so, it's so cumbersome now to have a watch on. It's just like you're feeling you're trapped.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Just watch on. I know. Don't look at me like that. It's just the way it is. Oven, microwave, coffee maker. What else? Anything? I think that's it, right? Maybe a little bit of clocks oven, microwave. Coffee maker?
Starting point is 00:41:46 That's it. So you're good. That's not very many things anymore. Same things as always was. So about it. You really haven't saved anything. You get a couple of cable boxes and TVs that change on their own. Big deal.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Your phone changes, big deal. But if you have the Internet of things, it all changes. You don't have to worry about it. Move on. Kind of like that. What else? Oh, Bohemian Rhapsody this weekend.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Opens this weekend. It'll be the number one movie, for sure. I'm looking forward to seeing it. I don't know if I'm going to see it tonight, but I will see it this weekend because my kids want to go see it. I even think my mother-in-law wants to go see it, so I'm going to roll her butt in there. What do you look at me like that for?
Starting point is 00:42:39 Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen, Freddie Mercury. And it's going to be PG-13, so you're not going to get the full amount of, Freddie Love for PG-13. You're going to get the beginnings of, hey, let's go to this party, and you're going to see maybe a slight butt crack,
Starting point is 00:42:57 and then that's going to be it. Yeah, you're going to, and then that's it. You're not going to get the, you're going to get the, go behind the hotel door, the hotel door closes. The door, what they call the little door, the door fringes that hang in front of the, doors, you know, the party, the parties have you go through the fringes.
Starting point is 00:43:20 What I call those stupid things. You know what I'm talking about. The little things. You know what I'm talking about? The little things. They'll go behind those. You'll see those start to move and wiggle. They've got to be called something other than door bead curtains or door, right?
Starting point is 00:43:38 There's got to be, they have a name for them. A hippie doorway. You know what I'm talking about when I say hippie doorway. I know. But they've got to be called. There has to be an actual name, doesn't there? No. Hippy doorway.
Starting point is 00:43:52 You know what I'm talking about. That's what you're going to see is a hippie doorway. And that's going to be the end, PG-13. You're going to just have to guess what's going on behind the hippie doorway. All right. All right. No problem. Keep plowing through the fat pile here.
Starting point is 00:44:10 We're not going to make the whole fat pile, are we? Now we're not going to make the whole fat pile. So let me tell you about Mercury Real Estate Services. you know, I keep reading stories about people having a hard time selling their homes, people trying to buy homes. The home market in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is every time I look around, they're building on every square inch of land they can find. So if you want to sell your home, now is the time.

Starting point is 00:45:15 it offers me the right amount of money, I'll move. Okay, will you? No, no you won't, because it's up there forever. But if you really wanted to sell your home, that's when you don't want the for-sale sign up there forever and ever and ever. That's exactly how this company got started because Glenn and Tanya's house was up for sale forever and ever and ever and ever and ever, because they were kind enough to hire a third cousin twice removed
