And now, a Blaze Media podcast.
Welcome to it.
Well, we're just waiting on the jury.
Just waiting on the jury.
The jury and the Harvey Weinstein sex crimes trial.
Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty.
We shall see.
We shall see.
Experts are saying that he might be not guilty.
You must be quoting the expert called me.
I'm quoting all the news experts to trial expert.
through this trial.
The judge told them to use common sense
before retiring them to begin their deliberations.
He said, I'm going to submit the case
for your final determination.
The law requires that you render an impartial verdict.
He explained the meaning of the presumption of innocence
and the burden of proof.
Proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
So I'm telling you, with all that we heard in this trial,
we should not get the guilty guilty guilty guilty.
Guilty, guilty, guilty.
I know.
I know.
The judge also said,
you may consider whether a witness made statements that are consistent in this trial.
The bottom line is that you should apply the same common sense in the jury room
that you were called on to use the rest of your lives.
Oh, I mean, guilty, guilty, guilty.
Stick with the bit.
What are we?
I don't understand.
The jury has to vote unanimously too.
It's unanimous.
Oh.
Find them as a pedophile?
Good luck.
No.
Oh, sorry, that was spicy.
He's charged with five sex crimes,
including rape and predatory assault
involving the two accusers.
Mimi, Haley, and Jessica Mann.
Now, what did you call me?
Thank you.
Excuse me, I apologize.
But don't forget that every story in the media
brings up 18 different females
and they all show faces of a half a dozen different females
that testified in the trial.
But it's only the two
that are with the charges
when they find him innocent
she's going to be a great day
it's going to be incredible
for those Me Too movement
I wonder if Alista Molana is going to like
oh she'll be in tears
she will be in tears
and so will a couple of the other dinkleberries
that were outside of the courthouse there
you know what's her face and what's her face
yeah those two
yeah everybody knows they're going to be crying
man, they will be in tears.
And you know what's going to happen?
It's as soon as it's found not guilty,
Harvey Watson's going to throw that Walker
and you're just going to upright,
check himself, fix his jacket,
and walk right out.
He can't, though, because he's got the charges in L.A.
on him.
Oh, damn it.
L.A. is waiting.
damn it.
L.A. is just waiting.
I'll take it back.
Harvey's going to push that Walker.
If he's found innocent, though,
or if he's found not guilty.
Yeah.
Look, he's a dirtbag.
I got it.
He's a dirtbag.
No, the judge has not come back.
He's a dirtbag.
But he's saying that it was all consensual.
And from what I heard, what I read in the trial, I wish I could have been there every day.
It would have been, that would have been a really.
I don't think people would have said no to you.
I would have loved to have been to that trial every day and cover that trial.
In fact, chewing the fat should have been there covering that trial.
what stopped you
well I was in New York
you know you can't
there's no getting there
you can't get to New York from here where I'm at
there's just no no you can't though
there's an airport
planes don't fly from here
I know it's full of you know
corridor A is full of homeless people
but maybe fly out quarter B
did we hear from the airport on that
I've not heard anybody we've got seriously
I was thinking about this last night
and then again in the shower today
I know homeless people in the air
airport. Anyway, the, we've got to, we've got to talk to the, all the airports have their
spokespersons. Oh, so you literally want me to get a comment from it? Yes, let's get them on
the air. Oh, okay. Well, I didn't know that what we're doing. I thought we were getting
listeners to tell us. I would like that. I would like that, but we need to speak to someone.
So you want me to ask the, sorry? You want me to ask DFW?
Let me the question. Hold on, stop, stop. We're going to send, I'm going to send, I'm going to
I want to send them this audio clip, okay?
So this is Jeff Fisher asking DFW a question.
We're under the impression that homeless people are now, for lack of a better term, residing in the airport on the pre-security side of the airport.
Is that true?
how long has it been going on if it's true
if it's not true
what are people seeing with these people
laying in the airports
okay I'll send that
here's an idea
call and ask them to come on the air
and say we want to talk to them about their operations
at the airport
oh
that's a really that's a tall order fisher
that's a very
every airport in America has their spokesperson
Yes, but do you feel like they're going to answer that quickly?
They need to spin it somehow.
So first I have to send little Billy Bob to quarter A be like, hey, check it.
There's homeless people over there.
They already know.
Oh, there's homeless people there?
They already know.
Do you think they're already now?
Yes.
Yes.
This is not coming as a surprise.
It could be.
We're the first one asking the questions.
So this.
It's not true until the media push on the wall.
DFW spokesperson, 888-90333.
If you're listening live,
listening or watching live on chewing the fat
the 18th of February 2020.
Out of all that, you got the date right.
That's the only thing truth coming out of your mouth, the date.
No, you got the whole thing.
That's what I'm saying.
If you're watching or listening live on the 18th of February 2020.
No, we have to talk to them.
I want to know if it's true.
And if you're, I was waiting, you know, I was waiting for an email to Chewing the Fat at
the Blaze.com.
In fact, I probably, let's go ahead and look at chewing the fat.
Let me see how many emails came into Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com last.
Ooh, there is a couple in the inbox.
Okay.
Another advertisement to my Facebook page.
What is the scam with this?
What are you talking about?
They want to advertise on my page.
Oh, another.
Why I am getting inundated.
with Facebook messages and email messages.
About sponsoring something.
Ads on my Facebook page from their websites.
Okay, so I want to know what the scam is.
I'm not clicking on it.
I'm not saying yes or no.
But someone has to tell me how they're scamming me with that.
They're scamming you probably by telling you
what will need your login information.
But they say no.
Oh, they say no.
They say no.
I think what they do.
And I think what they do is what they do,
is what they did to my man in Tampa
when he wanted to be a secret shopper
over the holidays, you may have been gone.
I know you were gone for a couple of months
over the last of last year
and the first of this year.
I was out the same amount of time
that other people from the United States.
No, but you weren't though, but that's okay.
Sorry that you do.
Bro.
Okay.
Get better representation to get more leave.
My people worked it out perfectly.
All I'm saying is,
I may have done the story when you were out, that extended period of time over the holiday season.
You mean from the 24 to the third?
It was way longer than that.
Way longer than that.
Let's go back and look.
Let's go back to my ticket.
Let's go back to my ticket.
It was way longer than that, my friend.
You didn't even come back until the seventh or eighth, maybe the ninth or tenth.
Okay, so right there you're telling me the falsehood of the third.
Okay, you could be right.
I left on the 17.
Oh, really?
Because that's a little bit earlier than the 24th.
And you came back on?
I came back on...
9th, 10th?
Hold on, calm down.
I came back on Continental.
I came back on the third.
I'm sorry?
On the third.
Okay.
Not, not, I didn't ask when you came, when you arrived in the city.
Oh, you mean, came back to work?
Here.
Monday.
the six.
No, you did not.
You were not here of the six.
I haven't.
No, you weren't here on six.
I could guarantee you that.
Remember, because you guys were making fun and because that was my Christmas and I say,
how dare you make me work on my Christmas day?
But you were right on one.
I did live on the 17.
I was right on both, my friend.
Right on both.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, don't.
Don't.
I came back to the airport.
Now, now first I'll back us back up one more before we get back to the airport.
Harvey Weinstein.
How's he doing?
He's fine.
That's what we started.
Let's go into the trial.
The jury's got it.
We're waiting on the jury.
They're back on the, okay.
DFTW.
Okay.
We want to talk to them about the homeless people.
Now I want to talk about the scam is.
Okay, got it.
And I think what they do on the scam is, is just what they did to my man in Tampa when he wanted to be a secret shopper.
All right.
It all worked out good.
And then what they do is they get your information.
for a direct payment into your account.
Okay?
And they send you the payment,
but since they have the access,
then they go back in and take everything out.
What they sent you and everything else out into your account.
So your account is zero.
And there's no getting it back.
And they stop payment on the check.
I mean, it's an ugly thing.
We can go back and we should talk to Brian about that.
see how that outcome has affected him.
He has no money.
Yeah.
I mean, he was.
I saved your call.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I'm here for you.
All right.
So today was the big day.
The 18th of February 2020 at the new Globe Life field in Irving, Texas.
Just as where we broadcast from.
It's actually in Arlington.
It's not Irving.
But, you know, same place.
Close.
Here, Dallas.
Dallas, Texas, DFW.
But, so they built the new stadium.
They got the new stadium and it's almost 100% done.
Almost.
How much did that cost us?
A lot of money.
A lot.
A lot of money.
But they still have the old stadium.
And they still got the, you know.
The other stadium.
Yeah, they got to, don't worry about it.
They're all right there.
This is fine.
Is the XFL going to play there too?
Sheesh.
We'll see how this season goes.
Look at a time.
I watch one.
It's very interesting.
It is interesting.
It's very interesting.
I like the new take.
I do too.
It's almost too much, though.
It's almost too much access.
You can't have too much.
See, again, I agree.
I agree with that.
I want to know everybody.
I want to know what everybody's doing.
But I kind of feel like, you know, a guy screws up and you're right there on the sidelines
coming out of the field.
Yes.
Hey, you just screwed up.
How do you feel?
Good.
Good.
Maybe.
I don't know, maybe you give the guy a break for a little bit.
No.
But anyway, that's all axis.
Yeah, all access.
Old school thinking, you can't have that kind of thought anymore.
Those days are over.
So the new Globe Life Park for the Texas Rangers, today was the big day, super flush day,
where they were bringing in high school students.
And according to this story, the original story, they were bringing in local students
who were going to participate in all the toilets at the new school.
stadium being flushed simultaneously.
How many toilets? I don't know if the word simultaneously means the same thing to local high
school students as it does to me.
Well, maybe they're not a kids.
And they're saying like two per kid.
So the video of Super Flush given to us by someone from the Dallas Morning News.
Yes, Tommy Noel.
Tommy Noel.
Great.
Great guy.
Breakout.
His report's Dallas Morning News?
Absolutely. On point.
Top notch.
Top notch.
Yeah, Dallas Morning News.
Yeah, it was Last Morning Magazine.
Sorry.
No, Dallas Morning News.
Don't down great Tommy.
I am sorry, Tommy.
No, Tommy.
He didn't mean that.
No, I didn't.
I didn't.
I didn't.
So his video of Super Flush at Globe Life Field,
something like this.
It's not a simultaneous look.
They're going from stall to stall.
They were, yes.
Like I said, maybe they were not kids.
Maybe they couldn't.
How many toilets were they flushing?
Like 1,400?
It doesn't say.
Oh, I thought it was like 1,400.
It doesn't say.
Let's go.
We should find that out.
Hold on.
Please hold.
Thank you for listening to Chewing the FAP.
Your listenership is very important to us.
Please hold.
While we.
figure out the numbers of the story that we were just doing for you.
Please hold.
Thank you for holding.
Your listenership is very important to us.
Hello, thank you for holding for chewing the fat.
Welcome to the program.
1,100, 1,100 toilets at Globe Life Field.
Now, you're telling me they couldn't get 1,100 students to come in and do the super flush simultaneously.
That may have set a world record.
That may have set a world record.
We could have had the Globe Life Park world record set.
Instead, they didn't do it simultaneously, which is very disappointing.
I will say, though, that they had stalls, which is good.
Because I remember as a little kid going to a baseball park,
and they had the troughs set up.
and I never I'm not a big trough fan
I don't know if you've ever if you're a man
and you know about going into the restroom
and there's troughs where you just line up
and stand elbow to elbow and shoulder to shoulder
with the guy next to you there's no stall you just
go what's wrong with that
well
for those that are
happy
with what was given to them by the Lord,
nothing.
For those that maybe just live with the words
that their mom told them,
you know, that's what you got, live with it.
So the Orlando Magic
Amway Center did the same thing.
Okay.
But they only did 443 flush.
1100 should be the world's record.
So they're saying that the Orlando Magic simultaneous flushed
was the world record?
I believe so from what I'm really,
in here. What? We had an opportunity to set a world record and they blew it? Back in
2010. They flushed it? They literally flushed it. Oh my gosh. We should talk to Tommy from the
Dallas Morning News and find out what the heck happened over there. But the world's longest
flush. Oh boy. It's 43 seconds. That's a long flush. There's a water shortage. We can't be
flushing that long. You could quote me in that one.
A 43 second flush
43 second flush
You know
I mean it seems doable
Not with the tank
On the back of my toilet
But it does seem doable
And the fastest
flush
53 miles per hour
Oh
That is taking
Some skin
That
You're looking at
Don't stand in front of that flush
Don't stand in front of that flush
You would not be sitting down that flush
So
Now I'm mad
Why did Global Life Park
Set the world record
for simultaneous flush.
That's agonizing.
Seriously, we need to talk to Tommy
from the Dallas Morning News.
I do have the world record
on public toilets,
public toilets made of gold.
Who holds that record?
Donald Trump.
China.
Oh.
Someone would say that's the same thing.
You haters.
Perhaps that's how come coronavirus
started gold toilets, just saying.
Just throwing it out there.
or flushing it out there.
I feel like we missed the opportunity to hear.
I know.
Is that still running and run your head right now?
Yes.
This is something that I should have called the Guinness World Record.
Maybe they have the same number that the World's Guinness Record gave me,
and they kept calling and no one showed up.
No one showed up?
Seriously, we should talk to Tommy.
That's his name.
Tom.
From the Dallas Morning News.
I love his work.
Well, okay.
I'll talk to it.
What do you mean? Well, just get him on the phone.
I'll talk to them.
Well, look who's in the break room.
Gordon Carrera.
It's been a security correspondent for BBC News since 2004.
He's reported from across the United States, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
He's the author of Cyber Spies, the secret history of surveillance, hacking and digital espionage,
the secret history of MI6, shopping for bombs, global insecurity and the rise and fall of the AQCon network.
He went to Oxford and Harvard.
I mean, before we even get to his latest endeavor, Russians among us, Gordon, what have you done with your life?
Seriously, what are you doing?
Clearly, clearly not as much as you think.
I mean, holy cow.
I appreciate it.
The way you read it,
it makes it sound
a little bit more impressive
than it feels.
I appreciate you coming on
the show today.
So the latest endeavor
Russians among us.
You know,
I,
when I first got the book,
I looked at the cover
and I thought,
I don't know that I want to start reading it
because I don't know
that I want to be that scared
because it's going to throw me,
it's going to make me nervous.
And,
you know,
of course,
that's what it did.
But it also opened my eyes
to some things
I wasn't aware of. And I really enjoyed the ride of going back in history and then bringing us
into today as well. And it really brought back one of my, before we even get into some of the,
you know, Putin and what's happening now and what's happened in the past, you know,
decade or so with Russia and our Soviet allies. And I put that in quotation marks.
You know, I loved the story of the Secret Pigeon Service. And I only love that because when I
When I was a kid, I worked for a guy that took care of pigeons during World War I.
That's what he did.
He still had his pigeons.
He still had his pigeons when I was a little kid.
And he was like a hundred then, and he took care of him.
And he used to just tell me crazy stories about what he did.
So I was fascinated by that secret pigeon service.
Oh, well, thank you.
I really enjoyed writing that as a previous book, a bit different from doing Russian espionage today.
But yeah, the pigeons had their place as spies.
very different era.
I loved it.
It was great.
So as we venture into Russians among us, how scared do we need to be?
Well, it's a good question, that to start with, because one of the things I say is we
shouldn't make out Russian spies either to be nothing and jokes and figures of fun, kind of
like clowns, but nor should we pretend that they're giants and they're 10 foot tall
and they're all powerful and they're everywhere.
And sometimes, I think in the media, you know, and I say as a journalist, we sometimes get it wrong because we swing between the two extremes that say they're everywhere and they're all powerful or they're a bit of a joke and it's all a bit of a game.
So I think you do have to be kind of clear-headed about the dangers that kind of, they can be pretty sloppy, but they can also be really aggressive and brazen and not worried about getting caught.
We've seen that in the last few years that Russia has felt more unrestrained in the way it's willing to let loose it.
spies and do things with them in a way maybe that's different from that cold war spying game that we
think of well i mean we certainly have heard uh about uh some of the spies that have been inside
well this country the united states and how they lived and what they what they were in their
mind preparing for and nothing ever happened yeah so one of the things i i was interested in was
these kind of sleeper cells, these spies who were sent under deep cover, they were called
illegals, which is the Russian word, because they didn't have the legal cover of being diplomat.
And they would train them for 10, 20 years to burrow deep into American society, not just to be
Russians, but to look American, to sound American, to pass off as American.
And if you've seen the TV series, the Americans, I mean, this is the real story that that kind
of fictional drama comes from.
And the interesting question is, what were they for?
I mean, and how much success did they have and how dangerous were they?
Well, one of the realities was that you had groups operating in America,
and because they were watched very carefully by the FBI,
they weren't able to have as much damage as they might have done.
And this was a group who were picked up in 2010.
But I also think if they hadn't been watched, they could have posed a real risk
because they were there spotting, recruiting, looking for people.
Previous generations, if you go back to the 1940s, the previous generation of these so-called illegal
deep cover spies had helped steal the atomic secrets from the US and give them to the Soviet Union and allow Moscow to get the atomic bombs.
You can see they can have real lasting damage if they're not watched and tracked carefully.
This group, though, because they were watched, were never able to do lasting damage.
But I still think they tell us something about Russia.
They tell us that Russia has been willing to invest decades and huge resources in trying to spy on the West and understand what's going on.
It's part, particularly under Putin of his identity, a former KGB officer himself.
I feel like with Vladimir, I feel like with Putin that he, some of the spies we learned, as you said, that wasn't, you know, they were deep undercover and even some of the ones that weren't so deep undercover were,
not as scary as we portray them.
But I feel like in the past, you know, how many, let's just say the past dozen years,
that Putin has wanted to bring that back to the more you need to be scared of us
and we're going to affect your lives in ways that you may not even be aware of.
And yet now with people like yourself, we're finding out that, man, we really missed the sign
that he was screwing with us?
I think that's right, and that's definitely one of the themes of the book,
is that we had this strange spy swap in 2010,
where a group of Russians under deep cover were arrested,
Anna Chapman was one of them, some families with kids,
and they were swapped for four Russians who had spied for the West,
and it seemed as a kind of weird, cold war throwback and a joke,
but actually one of the things I think is that we missed that it was a sign
that the Russians were patient and persistent in what they were doing.
They hadn't stopped as the Cold War ended, but also that they were changing their methods.
And I think in the last five years, six years, you've seen Russia basically think it's in a conflict with the West.
We didn't really recognize that they thought that.
We didn't see ourselves in conflict, but they started acting that way.
Well, I mean, we were told by our president that, you know, the Cold War is over.
Yeah.
And I mean, back in 2010, when they arrested those spies, the, you know, the administration, the Obama administration,
and then really played it down because they wanted to reset relations with Russia.
And they deliberately played down those arrests to try and, you know, to try and avoid derailing the relations.
And I mean, that angered quite a few people in the intelligence community at the time who felt, actually, we want to make a show of this and say something.
And you see that pattern going on where people basically played down the risks, even as Russia ramped up its activities.
The same has happened in the UK as well, where, you know, you've seen people being killed.
by the Russians, Alexander Lipnianco in 2006.
And actually, people just didn't recognize how Russian behavior was shifting until really it was
pretty late in the day.
We're talking with Gordon Carrera, author of Russians Among Us, is his latest book.
You know, we talk about how we weren't aware and, you know, we kind of let some things
pass by.
And now that we are more aware with this, what do you say to the people that say, you know,
Russia's really out of the downturn?
And China is our worst enemy now.
And I never don't worry about Russia.
They forget them.
Well, I think it's an interesting, I mean,
because I think on the one hand,
I think they're right in the long-term challenge
to the U.S. and to the West comes from China
and from China's kind of economic and technical advance
and the way China is using espionage in a different way to support its economy.
But I don't think you can forget Russia.
And I don't think you can underestimate the danger Russia poses.
I mean, if you take, you know, the UK to two years ago, you know, they used a nerve agent,
a chemical weapon in the streets of a quiet town, Salisbury, to try and kill a former Russian spy.
Just incredible.
It was one of those swapped in 2010.
I mean, you know, the fact they were willing to do, you know, use nerve agent in a quiet, sleepy English cathedral, you know, it is amazing.
And not care if, and not care that we, I mean, it was out there in the open.
They didn't care.
Yep, yeah, we did it.
I mean, it was, that was, I know.
Right.
They were pretty happy about it.
I mean, they just, they didn't care.
I mean, you know, if you wanted to get rid of someone quietly, there are other ways.
But to use a, you know, a nerve agent like that was almost saying, we're willing to do this and we don't care what you think and what you say.
And it's that kind of brazeness, the aggressiveness, which is why I do think we need to kind of watch it very closely and take it seriously, even if there are other threats on the horizon as well.
like China when it comes to national security.
Gordon Carrera, his latest book, Russians Among Us,
and if you didn't realize during the interview here in the break room on chewing the fat,
he resides in England.
And I wanted to just take a side note and ask how everything is going post-Brexit.
Has the country completely shut down?
Are you living in rubble?
Is it all over with?
Are you, I mean, how are you even talking with us on a,
phone. I mean, how is it working
for you guys?
We've not quite gone back to the dark age.
You might have thought so, given
what it probably looked like from the
outside, it's fair to say, it was
pretty intense for a few years.
And the politics of it were
intense. And the debates and what
was going on in Parliament were intense. I mean, I'd
never really seen anything like it
in my lifetime. That's incredible.
But it's done. And, you know, it's done.
And I think, you know, the strange thing is,
I think people recognize now it's done and, you know, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and it will be interesting to see, I think, in the UK, how far, you know, the division that was there yields or how far some of those divisions were made. I mean, we'll see, because it was pretty bad, but I, but I also think everyone recognizes, well, it's done now, and let's see, let's see, let's going to happen next.
You know, with the division in being created by politics and the press, it sounds eerily familiar
to another country that I know about.
Trying to think what country that is.
I can't.
On the top of my head, I can't think of it.
I'm sure you'll figure it out, too.
So your latest book, Russians Among Us, and we went down the list in the beginning of the interview
of your other works.
What's next?
What are you doing?
What are you doing with your life?
Well, you know what?
Every time I finish a book, I think, I need a break.
I need to have a pause.
They're so exhausting doing these things.
And this one, you know, I've been working on and off for years on Russian spies and following it.
So it's a huge amount of kind of research and time in it.
And there's a bit of you which thinks, I just need to breathe out.
So I love talking about it.
But actually, what's next?
You know what?
As well in this world at the moment, you know, like you were saying, who knows what's next?
I know.
I mean, for so many, it's such a kind of unpredictable world, including when it comes to national security, that you just don't know what's going to be the next big story.
And you don't know where it's going to come from.
And I mean, on the one hand, that's exciting, you know, as a journalist.
But me, I hand, it's kind of scary sometimes.
Yeah, no kidding.
And especially now, I mean, coming up soon, you guys have got, you know, the battle with Julian Assange.
Speaking of spies and possible spies going out in your country, I mean, I don't want to throw stories.
at you, but I was just giving you some ideas, Gordon, that's all. I'm just an idea guy.
Yeah, I'm putting it this way, I don't think I'm going to be short of story.
I think there's plenty to keep me busy. I think that's definitely the case.
Go ahead, Gordon. I'm sorry.
No, no, no. I was going to say, if you know what's coming next, then just let me know,
because that would always be quite helpful. I'm here for you. I'm an idea man, Gordon, I'm here.
I'm your guy. No problem. Gordon Carrera, author of Russians Among Us.
Thank you so much for coming on chewing the fat today.
I appreciate your time.
I know you're busy.
And if you decide to break another story instead of just, you know,
wasting your time on old spies and not know if you want to do something, you know, new,
just, you know, let us know.
I'll be happy to talk to you about it.
So if you live in Alabama, this may be.
something that could concern you.
And it may be coming to another state around the country as we speak, but a Birmingham
state representative from Birmingham filed a bill in Alabama that would require men
to get a vasectomy once they reach 50 years old or father three children.
Ouch.
Right?
So, I'm sorry?
So you hit both of those.
right?
The legislation by State Representative
Rolanda Hollis
says that a man
I'm sorry, I was just doing the story. Yeah, but I want
to read, did you, I think you meet those
two criteria. She says that
a man will have to pay for the vasectomy.
She's making a law. We're still going to make a man.
What the hell? No. You pay for
a lot. You pay for it. You want us to do
it. You pay for it.
Now.
Wait, do you support this bill?
No, no. I do
not.
I do.
Okay, you scare me there for a little while.
What do you mean?
I thought you asked you this, Bill.
The way you were talking about it, I was like, whoa, socialist Jeff is coming out.
What are we?
China?
No.
Yeah, the one kid policy.
Oof, I know.
And that's be a boy.
And then if you have another, oh, you had another one?
Gone.
We're taking it.
Have another.
No, they don't.
We just take it.
They just take it.
We don't do what with it.
As they're walking away from the house, you may hear.
doesn't have anything to do with your kid though.
Oh, okay.
Oh, they just chicken their weapons.
Yes.
So, I have to, I mean, that's a pretty strong bill, right?
I mean, there's plenty of males who have, let's say,
fathered children over the age of 50.
Yeah, those are the famous baby daddies.
Now, speaking of famous men.
Baby daddies.
That are, you know.
prefer younger women.
Okay, okay.
So I was looking at a picture of Lee Majors,
and I'm sure you have no idea who Lee Majors is.
He's a former $6 million man actor.
Yeah, he has a picture with his wife.
He's 80 now.
His wife is getting a little long on the tooth, actually.
She's 45.
And they have a picture of them together,
and there's how much she looks like,
you know, one of his wives,
Farah Fawcett, who has passed away.
But remember, Farah was the big
hot sex symbol superstar
from Charlie's Angels.
That, I know that.
Fair Fawcett, yeah.
Charlie's Angels, man.
And Lee was, you know, Lee was with Farah.
And now the new wife.
Uh-oh.
Looks, uh, she's a similar type of female.
Well, we all have our types.
Right.
We all have our types.
Thank you.
If you pull all your types in one room,
it's like you look into the same person.
It's just much younger person.
Correct.
Yeah, so like if you go from...
She's 45.
That's starting to...
If you go from left to right,
you're looking like the further left,
the older they are,
the further right, the younger they are.
So like,
that'll look alike.
It's just the progression of age.
So speaking of that,
and Lee and his 45-year-old wife.
You're in Alabama bill.
And the Alabama bill.
Al Pacino.
Oh, he's...
old. Well, he's only 79.
He's not even as old as Lee Majors.
But he did not look good at that table of the Oscars.
I mean, at the Golden Globes.
So he's had to break up.
Oh, no.
His girlfriend just broke up with him.
Jeff, you can't just drop news like that without like.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You lost them.
Well, we did.
We lost a power couple.
Everybody looked up to that couple.
Al Pacino and his girlfriend are splitting up.
No.
Yeah.
They, uh, well, she's.
She's tired?
She's unhappy.
Oh, did she break up her over?
Uh, um, Al is, uh, 79.
Ooh.
And, uh, she is, uh,
28.
40.
No, she's, 40.
Okay.
She's getting a little long on the tooth now at 40.
But, uh, she was saying, you know, it's just that he's, uh, he's old.
No.
And, um,
He just didn't like to spend money.
I can see that.
So.
Who's hiring Al Pacino?
Other than his best friend.
He's worth a couple hundred million bucks.
Yeah.
That was back in the day when he was doing Scarface.
It's worth money.
He's not the money in the bank.
Okay.
Do you really think he has money in the bank right now?
Yes, I do.
I don't think so.
Oh my gosh.
Stop.
No.
No.
Al Pacino doesn't have money.
He most...
He's like Nicholas Cage right now, begging for a movie.
I don't think so.
He's begging.
I don't think so. Although, you know, he never married.
He's got three kids.
That's what I'm saying.
A lot of money. Child support.
He's supposed to have a, it's supposed to be worth like $180 million or so.
I don't think so.
That's Scarface days.
That's not the Irishman days.
Spent out.
Which is why they.
Which is why she's like, wait, I thought I was going to marry Scarface.
Where's the Coke?
Where's the money?
Where's the mansion in Miami?
Wait, we have to live in this apartment.
This is a quote, though.
Oh, okay.
Okay, that's on a quote.
From Alice, right?
From the girlfriend.
Yeah, Alice, I think that's what you should.
No, that's not her, that's not her name.
My name is Mital Doda.
Mital Dota.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Mital Doya.
So, uh.
He's French.
That's Jewish, but anyway, that's okay.
Don't worry about it.
It could be a Jewish.
It could be a Jewish, yes.
She.
She confirmed their breakup.
Oh, no.
And, uh, because, you know, he was by himself at the Oscars.
He was.
Yes, he was.
by himself at the Oscars.
And at the Golden Globes.
And so people were like, hey, where's the Jewish French?
Jewish French chick.
Where are you at?
What are you doing?
Where's the other half?
A better half.
Jewish French trick.
That's 40.
Come back.
Where are you at?
Where she at?
And she said, look, I know it's Al Pacino.
I'll actually, I'll just read you the quote.
Just the full quote.
I won't try to spin it around.
I'll just give you the full quote.
All right.
Don't read between the lines.
just go for it.
It's hard to be with a man so old, even Al Pacino.
Ouch.
Wow.
Give me that one more time because I think that's my show title right there.
I don't know that I like that title, but it's hard to be with a man so old, even Al Pacino.
Ouch.
Wow, that hurts.
I tried to deny it.
but now he is already an elderly man.
Oh, 78.
She thinks that's elderly?
Well, he didn't like to spend money.
That's what I'm telling me.
He has no money, bro.
That's why she's pissed, though, because he wasn't spent any money.
Yes.
She wanted jewelry.
She wanted jewelry, and he's buying her flowers.
You know what happens?
She just got done watching Scarface.
She just discovered Scarface.
And she was like, I want that man.
And then when they're presenting him, she's like, here we go.
Al, you didn't take me out?
oh honey dinners are five and i really want some jewelry for valentize day here's a flower
i just picked from the backyard that maria planted last week look she said that they're still
she said that they're still good friends well of course you know and she said that look it was an honor
to spend time with the veteran star stop stop stop
french jewish lady you're going to end up dead you better the next quote better
be I'm not suicidal
because you're talking
trash about Scarface, bro.
You don't do that.
You don't do that. I'm sorry.
Have we forgotten how to respect
a breakup? Special
a celebrity? All I know is... I don't like
Al, but like I feel like this is way too personal.
She said the
age gap is difficult, yes.
No, she...
40 years, almost, 40 years
difference. He saw
World War II and you were not even born
When you were born, he was 40.
I mean to tell you, that hurts.
It does her.
You want to talk about, you want to talk about that, man.
And that takes a lot of, like, pride.
Oh, yeah.
That's going to knock you down and it's going to set you back.
When you're 79, 80 years old, Lee Majors, Al Pacino, either one.
Now, Lee has, you know, he's not quite as bad as Pacino because his wife is 45.
So she's a little older.
She's a little older.
And this one is, you know, 39.
39.
Not 40.
Almost 40.
And so, you know, she's a lot younger.
Plus she's looking at it.
We just close a decade.
Do I want to be another decade with this guy?
I know.
Well, he's not going to make it.
And that's what I didn't.
See, am I going to invest a decade on this guy?
And she probably looked at the bank account.
Look at the whatever he has saved up.
There's no way she's not worth.
Oh, that definitely she is.
No way.
You're talking about a girl that just broke up
him because she's not he's not spending money on her you don't think she went in
there and looked at his bank account while he's sleeping all I know it's hard to be
with the man so old even Al Pacino download and subscribe to more content at
the blaze.com slash podcasts I mean that hurts that's horrible that hurts
right as an not elderly but as a person that has seen more than 50 years
of his life.
If someone breaks up with you and says that to the world,
that's going to take a toll on you.
It's actually something I've been looking forward to because it's...
Oh, okay.
It may happen sooner than I think.
Okay. Okay. Got it. Got it. Got it.
That's rough.
I mean, when I'm like, just go.
See?
I just want to stay. I'm just going to be home. Just go, baby.
I prefer her to leak nudes of me before she says that to the world.
I prefer her just put it out there, me, like a sex thing.
There's Al Pacino and the 79-year-old sex tape.
Actually, not that I would look at that more than once, but, you know, I may watch it once.
Yeah, because it like, boom, done, sex tape is out, boom, we're done.
That's going to be quoted.
You know what's going to happen?
He's going to meet with all his old farts from Hollywood and be like, bro.
He's giving him a bad name.
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
His reputation just went down.
Do you think he?
Because we all know, look, y'all know.
That was kind of my point I was getting to that, you know, if you're Lee Majors at 80,
you're Al Pacino at 79, you know, soon to be 80, if you're these guys and you're with a 40,
a younger person.
A younger woman, a younger female.
No.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, no.
But they're with women.
You don't know that.
I'm pretty sure the French Jewish chick is female, but it's just, I mean, I'm calling her a
chick. I'm pretty sure it's okay.
You kind of already know, right? You know that.
Look, they're not, you know, you're Al Pacino. That's why she's the main reason she's with
you, right? You're Al Pacino. It's your name, your brand, your, your, your past is the reason
why she wants to be with her. Right. Because I'm sorry, not a sane woman is not going to be with a 70 or
80 year old person because they just love them. I'm sorry, that's not true. That is not true. Wow.
You can't put an age limit on love.
Yes, you can.
No, you can.
Especially when you look like Al Pacino right now.
Now, Lee Majors still looks great.
Lee didn't look bad.
He looks great.
Lee didn't look bad.
I will date him in a heartbeat.
Overall.
Absolutely.
Again, have you seen how Al Pacino looked at the Golden Globes and the Oscars?
I have.
She could barely stand up.
Hey, Al.
They're straightening you back.
I am.
No, bro.
No, bra.
No, bro.
Yeah, I am.
That's as straight as it's going to get, baby.
And that's why she left him.
Yes.
All right, so let's talk about your stupid thing.
Oh, I didn't bring it today.
I left it at the house.
What?
Yeah, I left it out of the house.
I thought you had that hung around your neck now for the world to call you.
What are we supposed to call you now?
Lord Chris Cruz of Kerry.
It's on my social media.
That ain't happening enough this ad, okay?
That will happen.
You have to call me Lord Chris Cruz.
No, I don't have to.
You know, Lord, your highness.
You can just be Lord?
Yeah, it could be Lord.
Oh, I should have asked what's his face about the Royals.
Gosh, darn it.
Yes.
meant to do that too.
Yes.
Oh, well.
But why is it?
I want to ask you this question.
Why is it every time we call overseas, over the pond,
you bring up two topics.
Because it's.
Royals and Brexit.
Those are the main ones.
Who cares?
I want to write your book.
All right, let's talk about the rules.
Who cares about the Russian spies?
Tell me what is happening.
I want to know.
I want the man on the street.
I want to know what's happening.
I want to feel for the street.
What are the people talking about Brexit?
Thank you.
Thank you.
I didn't bring up gonorrhea right now.
I didn't bring up gonorrhea.
You did it.
You should have because that's what said they were going to happen.
Had I got to the royals, I may have gotten to the gonerria.
Okay.
But I want man on the street.
I know you're doing.
I appreciate the hard work of the book.
Yes.
And it was a great book.
You read it.
You know, you're living where I want to know.
And amazingly, you read the book.
A lot of our news comes from the United Kingdom and England.
We have an ambassador to chewing the fat from England.
Yes, we do.
And so it's just an important, you know, part of our journey here on chewing the fat.
Love it.
Love it.
So tell me what your little stupid little lord thing is.
Or we have to wait now because you don't have the paperwork.
No, I want you to read it so that I don't miss speak.
But are we going to play the video?
As a Lord, can you misspeak?
I can.
And I'm representing the Irish landlords.
And I want to make sure I'm representing it correctly.
If you notice, all my social medias have been updated.
I saw.
That doesn't mean I'm going to mention it, but I saw.
It's going to mention Lord Chris Cruz of Kerry.
Like, I know it's a mouthful, but I can show her in it.
Lord Chris Cumes of Carrie.
Of Carrie.
Sad.
Not to be confused with Carrie Keith Wives.
I do not own her.
I just own property in Carrie.
Yes.
And you've actually, you looked at my plot.
I did.
You have looked at my plot.
I did look at your plot.
We'll get to it.
We'll get to it.
I did look at your plot.
And it's beautiful, riveting, majestic.
It is.
Something to behold.
Enough said.
But as well know, I'm not good with maps.
Are we going to talk about the video about people on the street
trying to figure out the maps?
Because that is one of my favorite.
We can talk about that.
Now, I'd like to, I'm going to air the video.
You'll be able to view it again.
On your Twitter.
And listen to it.
Which I, you know, I tweeted it last night,
but I'm going to do it on my chewing unleashed segment.
I'm Pat tomorrow morning
the Wednesday chewing the fat
segment so that you'll be able to
if you can't see it
here. Yeah, somehow the app is not updated.
I will say I have a couple of questions with this though
and I'll bring this up tomorrow as well
on chewing the fat but I do have a couple questions about the
I'd like to know where it happened.
California.
And you know this?
Because this is the Jimmy Fallon producer girl
that does all this men on the street.
Okay, good.
Okay, that's what I'd like to know.
I wanted to know that.
Yeah.
All right.
I'd like to also know, did we edit out the people that do?
Absolutely, we did.
Absolutely, we did.
Are you?
As a producer?
I mean, I know that they, I know that they're giving you the best, but I'm hoping in
my mind that there was more, there was a plethora of people that got it right.
Yes.
And then this is just the top five.
These are the four or five that just didn't write.
That we're showing you them.
Yes.
For the laughs.
Yes.
I hope you're absolutely right about that because watching this, it is so sad.
And I will say that the map is not the usual map that they show.
Which I love.
I love that because it throws everything off.
But let me say this.
And I will say that there's no, you are here.
No.
You know, like at the mall, you are here so you're able to see.
The way I also love this is.
It's a map.
So those of you that came.
You know, don't have your cameras on.
You're, your TVs, I mean the TV's on.
Okay.
The map is a map of the globe, a flattened, you know, map of the globe of the world.
The world is flat.
But normally the regular one that we see regularly are, you know, the United States is on the left-hand side.
Yes.
And everybody else is on the right.
This map has that reversed.
Yes.
Now, which is smart.
Which, let me just say this.
looking at it, you look at it for that split second ago.
It takes your minute.
I just go, okay, that's the world.
Yes.
It doesn't take much longer than looking at the map and going, okay, that's the world.
Again, as someone that is not good with maps, I saw this.
I saw this.
I know.
I saw this.
I'm like, oh, so, okay, yeah.
So there's the United States.
It just made it left and right.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
Oh, that's the map.
Yes.
That's the map of the globe that we're using.
Yeah, but it's not round, though.
is flat.
So I just want to make sure that, you know, people are aware of that.
So are you saying that the Jimmy Fallon girl is a flat earther?
I think so.
I think so.
I realize that it's a map of it if I got it.
But I just, it's sad.
It's sad because like it takes you.
And they try to make it fun.
The students piss me off.
Oh yeah.
Oh, I went to college and university and I did this.
I guess that says something doesn't it?
Shut out.
Yes, it does.
It's something about you that you were not paying attention.
They should teach this in school.
They did.
Well, A,
yes they should be
I'd be hard pressed to believe that they didn't
they did
oh this is so weird
I mean I will say that it's been a while
yeah the one guy it's been a little go ahead and play some of it
it's just it's maddening
I have any country on this map
honestly my geography is so horrible
yeah but it's just the globe
just pick a country
is it South Africa? Nope
we have the country of Asia
that's a continent
yeah that's a good
Oh, damn.
Stop this for a second.
That's my favorite part of these clips.
Everybody picks out a continent.
Yes.
I need a country.
Africa.
No, continent.
That's a continent.
Could you name a country?
Yeah, yeah.
So the question is a country.
And that is so simple.
You would think that's simple, right?
You would think.
If one of those children were my kids and this aired and I went,
And they're daddy, I'm on Jimmy Fallon.
They were recording some stuff on the street and they asked me about the globe map.
But I didn't know anything.
I mean.
And then again.
No, I would, I'm just teasing.
Of course I wouldn't shoot my kids.
I would shoot my kids.
Not to kill him, but just to make sure he remembers that day.
Yes.
I would not kill my kid.
My knee.
Yes.
I would just make sure that he remembers that day that he misspoke on national television.
I couldn't find a country on the globe.
At least point to your own freaking country.
Is that a bullet wound down your leg?
Yes.
Yes.
I got that the day that I couldn't name a country on the globe.
Dude.
United States.
Done.
Go.
All right.
Go ahead.
Man, it's been a while since I've been in school.
Yeah.
Any country on the map.
Africa.
That's a continent.
Country.
Damn.
How about a country in Africa?
Oh, yeah.
I know South Africa's over here somewhere.
Okay.
Jeffrey, when you say, again, this is coming from the guy that makes you show in your hand.
In the hand.
People could see that.
Yeah, people can see that, yeah.
And I say, hey, Jeffrey, show me South Michigan.
Out here at the bottom.
You don't see me go up here.
Because last time I checked south.
I know South Africa is around.
around here somewhere.
It's to the left.
It is. It's to the top left.
Yeah.
Dude.
You literally said it.
South Africa.
So you're in Africa.
Go South.
And that is.
You don't even have to hit the exact lines.
The country lines.
And they have.
If you zoom on the map.
Yeah.
They have lines.
So everything's broken down.
So that it's like Egypt.
But they just don't have the names on it.
Right.
Country lines are literally visible.
I know.
No, it's down here.
Yeah, it's south.
Yes.
Can you name any country on this map?
I love her.
Yeah.
Africa?
That's a continent.
Oh, God.
I freaking love that.
Do you name any countries in Africa?
And I will give you.
Just pause for a second.
We can go back to her for a second.
I will say, let's give them the benefit of the doubt on the continent.
You're on the street.
You're on the street.
You're not ready for that question.
She doesn't treat them bad with that.
No, she just says, oh, that's a continent.
That's a continent.
That's a continent.
That's a continent.
And then she gives them a chance.
They get the out of like, oh, that's a...
I'm sorry, it's a continent.
Yes, I was just looking at the map and that's Africa.
You're right.
You want countries.
Let's, you know, South Africa.
Or, I don't know, there's the United States.
Yes.
I don't know.
There's South America.
That's a continent.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Brazil.
Brazil.
Over here is Ecuador.
But then the one...
Oh, coming up.
Go ahead.
I'll wait for her to get there.
Which, by the way, I do not like her answer.
Right here.
No, who knows stuff like that?
Who knows something?
Doctors and engineers and physicists.
No, they don't.
They don't.
Oh, so who is?
You don't have, you don't get to be a doctor by knowing the globe.
Oh, you don't?
Please.
No, okay.
That's just, you know, the blondie was like, who knows stuff like that?
Who knows that?
Why do you need to know that?
I don't know.
So that when someone puts a stupid map in front of you and says,
name a country.
You don't look stupid on national television.
Can you name any country on this math?
Yes.
Africa.
That's a continent.
He's so happy with himself.
He is so happy with himself.
Of course I get.
I got this, bro.
Africa.
Homeland.
That's a continent.
Can you name a country?
Okay, again, I want to say, I'll give you the out.
Yes.
You just, you walked up.

That's Alaska
How in the world
Do you know I will say I will say
You know how? How? Because that's the different
map
Yes that's the only
reason. That's the only Greenland and Iceland
we're up there. Yes, that's what.
In a normal looking map.
Or the usual one that you see.
Yes, not the one that they fix
or the confused people.
The usual one, Greenland is right there.
I do give them that.
But Greenland is
10 times bigger
than what he pointed.
Which he pointed at Alaska.
Alaska's pretty big.
Not as big as Greenland.
No, but Alaska's pretty big.
Okay. Back to the Spanish girl. Hold on. Back to the Spanish girl.
Any country. I mean, not at all.
I'm on the entire map.
This is so horrible. Where's America?
I would say this big one, but I'm probably wrong.
That's Russia, baby.
I know that was, yes, yes. She pointed where America is in a normal map.
But, but.
Last time I checked, America is.
It's not.
And plus the United States has a distinct look.
We have a penis at the bottom.
I don't know if you...
No, that's Florida.
Exactly.
Can you name any country on this map?
Oh my gosh.
Shouldn't I be taught this in school?
I would hope so.
South America.
That's a continent.
Okay, so stop right there.
Okay, so again, I'm giving them the break.
Yes, you are.
South America.
Oh, yeah, that's a kind of net.
Okay, so let's name a country.
Go ahead.
Having a country in South America?
She's confident.
Honduras is...
Yeah, ooh, baby.
No, she's talking, we're talking about South America now, baby.
Here, here.
Can you name anything?
She went through every little...
Fantastic.
Piece of South America.
She was like, oh, here, here, here.
You literally missed it by Miles, baby.
It's all Central America.
It's not South America.
Maybe you pay attention and the guy that you hate this in office, he talked about Honduras a lot.
So.
Country in Europe.
Is this one Europe?
No.
This one?
No.
By the way, she went Australia and Africa, which we already decided on the earlier clip with her that Africa is a continent.
So here, here, here.
Can you name a single country in Africa?
Was this Africa?
No, again, that's South America.
No idea.
Can you name a country in South America?
Okay, this is South America.
Yes, can you name a country in it?
No, I can't.
Did you go to high school?
Yes.
Did you go to college?
Yeah, that's a sad part.
No, no, it's just...
Baby, the side part is you.
It's just embarrassing.
It is.
And I'm sorry.
It's just embarrassing.
South America held the Olympics in Brazil.
And I will, and let me just say this, too.
It's just as a reminder.
and I like to remind people here on chewing the fat.
I like to help people out.
Just, you know, helpful tips to get through your day.
If someone, if you're walking down the street, let's say you're shopping.
You're walking down the street.
Yes.
You're just singing a little song.
You're humming to yourself.
Bring it home, Fisher.
You're humming to yourself.
And you're thinking, man, it's a beautiful day out here in California.
I love living here.
It's so nice.
And the fog is gone.
There's no smog.
It's just a beautiful day.
In fact, you know what?
Let's go down to the pier.
Let's go to Santa Monica Pier.
Just have a nice day.
Look at the mountains.
There's no fires right now.
Everything is beautiful.
And someone comes up to you and says,
Hey, can I ask you a couple of questions about a map?
No, thank you.
And continue on your merry way to the pier.
You don't have to say,
Oh, sure, I'll answer your questions.
It's just embarrassing.
But makes for good comedy.
Yeah, no, I thank them for doing it.
Oh, absolutely.
You know what, maybe I don't because it just makes me.
No, this is a little bit of moron trivia.
It sure is.
It's their version of Moron Trivia because Moran Trivia also brings out like this last season.
I will give you an opportunity.
I will say, unlike Moran Trivia where we give the people an opportunity to be corrected when they are, we're happy about it.
Absolutely.
We didn't get someone pointing out the right countries.
Yes.
Or naming a couple of countries going, yeah, what do you want?
But the problem.
What do you want?
What do you want?
Whatever.
There's Mexico.
What do you want to be?
Well, the reason I want to bring that up is because when we ask questions like,
who is Cory Booker, who is Joe Biden, who is the vice president, who is the president,
people were not giving us a right answer.
No, they weren't.
No, they were not.
I'd probably know that, huh?
Oh, he's a football player.
No, baby.
No.
That was my favorite one we guess about Cory Booker.
Yeah, linebacker for the Rams?
Yes, you know what?
Yes.
And he just got injured.
So if you have him on your fantasy football,
make sure you drop them because it's not going to be a good day for you.
It's just embarrassing.
Now I'm just frustrated.
Did we ever get back?
Did our boy from Dallas Morning News ever get back with us?
because I want to talk about the super flush still
and now I'm a little
because I'm angry at him
and I want to know why we did
here we go
yes
let's food up
all right back
I'm just really upset
about this whole super flush thing right now
why were you upset
well you know what
we'll talk about that on the air
won't we Tommy
oh no
and it's not
and I'm not upset
it has nothing to do with you
so you don't have to worry about that
oh man
this is going great
so far.
Okay, so we've got Tommy Noel on the phone.
Earlier in the podcast, we talked about what
happened at Globe Life Park, the
super flush day, happened at 10.30 this morning.
And if you were living in Arlington
or the greater DFW, the Metroplex,
you may have expected a water shortage
for a few moments because 1,100 toilets,
we were told we're going to be flushed
simultaneously in Globalize.
Park. Yes.
And I have to
correct you real quick. It's Global Life
Field. Global Life Park was the old one.
And I know...
I mean...
I mean...
You know, I love that Tommy just went right in for the gut punch.
You know...
Thank you, Tommy. Thank you.
I mean, that hurts.
Okay, I apologize.
Here's a way to remember it.
Globe Life Park, P, Pass, Global Life Field, F, Future.
That's how we do it at the...
What?
Oh, C.
So thank you. Thank you.
All right.
Hey, we're educational here on chewing the facts.
We are.
We are.
We are people to learn.
It's more, it's important to know this stuff.
So, yes.
I apologize, Tommy.
And I know I know that you are a, you work for the Dallas Morning News.
And your official title is.
Visual journalist.
Nice.
That's a good gig.
That is a good gig.
Which means, yeah.
I carry on a video camera all day, basically.
I mean, yeah.
Okay.
But you were fortunate enough to be at Superflush this morning.
Yes, I was.
I was there.
So tell us what happened, Tommy.
Well, they brought all the media onto one of the concourses of Global Life Field.
I got it.
I got it.
Okay.
It was Global Life Field.
All right.
And they took us into one of the bathrooms.
Whoa.
Easy.
Either going into the men's bathroom or the women's bathroom.
Which did you choose,
well, I started in the men's and I ended up in the women's because that's the way it happens all the time.
I can't tell you how many times.
No, I'm just teasing.
Go ahead.
The women's bathroom had a better view because there were a bunch of stalls in the women's bathroom
and the men's bathroom was kind of small.
Okay, so stop.
No, no, no, no, stop.
Okay, so I already complimented on how nice it was to see that there were stalls instead of a trough.
at Globe Life Field.
And so you're telling me that the men's bathroom,
did they have a trough?
No, no, no, no.
It was just a smaller, it was more confined.
The women's bathroom was open and airy,
and it was, you know, it's pretty glamorous in there,
but the men's bathroom was just kind of, you know.
Get in and get out.
It was get in and get out, yeah.
And the media we dispersed, and I realized,
okay, the women's bathroom is better,
so that's where I said at my camera.
All right.
Well, as a video journalist, you would be aware of that.
So, all right, so you're going, they sent you just to one concourse.
So we didn't, there was, there's like 1,100 toilets, right?
I know.
You know, and that's how the Rangers work.
The Rangers, they like to keep everyone corralled together.
They don't want anyone wandering off.
And so they like to keep it, you know, they like to keep them together.
I understand.
Right.
So you ended up there, and I see the stories that we received in the beginning was that this was going to be simultaneous flushing.
Right.
So, I mean, this is a world record.
Right.
But we were disappointed to find out that it did not work that way.
We thought it was going to be all at once, but in turn it was about 30 minutes of constant flushing.
Oh, see.
And, I mean, we had an opportunity.
Globe Life Field had an opportunity to set a world record this morning.
I know.
I know.
I was upset when I heard that, you know, there were 300 students that were brought in from Arlington IS.
That's it?
Well, and I've, since I've uploaded another video that shows kind of the process.
And the kids, they kind of wandered around the back.
bathroom flushing the various toilets.
I mean, yeah, if I'm in high school, you want a chance to go to wander around
Globe Life Field and flush toilets?
Yeah, whatever, sure.
Well, as a benefit or as a plus, the kids all got a tour of the new stadium, so they
were excited about that.
And they also, of course, you know, it kind of went through my mind.
You know, I am in a bathroom filming kids flushing toilets.
And I just, it was just awkward.
and I edit my videos.
I go to a place where there's Wi-Fi,
so I talk to the McDonald's to edit.
And I thought, if anyone sees me editing this video
of someone flushing a toilet in a bathroom,
an underage kid, I could be in trouble.
Headphones, where's my headphones?
No audio out loud, headphones.
So, anyway, did anyone ask the Rangers?
I've dealt with professional sports teams before,
so I understand the frustration that sometimes,
times they can be less than forthcoming.
But did anyone ask them, hey, thought this was going to be a world record, simultaneous
flushing, what's going on?
Do we get any of that?
No.
We didn't get any of the hard question.
That hurts.
The question I asked Rob Matwick of the Rangers, I tweeted out the logo of the Super Bowl.
Superflesh, and I got several questions on if there would be T-shirts available or, you know,
memorabilia available of Superflesh.
And unfortunately, no, they're not going to sell the T-Sach.
What's the point if it's not a world record?
Well, I know.
But, you know, they call this, the purpose of this is to test the plumbing.
That's what we're, you know, what we're going to sell it at the morning news is the reason they
did this was to test the plumbing.
They wanted to pretend like it's the seventh inning stretch and everyone goes to the bathroom all at the same time, flushes the toilet.
And so they replicated that.
Understand.
That was the purpose for today.
Right.
And I get that.
Except that I've just disappointed.
And that's not the way it was promoted.
And I really was hoping for us to be, you know, us as in, you know, DFW Metroplex, Texas Rangers, Global Life Field.
And, you know, world.
You are starting to take.
me off with that.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Tommy Noel with Dallas Morning News.
Thank you very much, man.
I really appreciate you time.
You're very well.
I really appreciate it.
And great work.
And I appreciate your work very much.
Thanks for coming on to you in the Fed.
It was a fun assignment.
Talk to you soon.
Bye.
All right.
I'm still pissed that it wasn't a world record.
We need to get somebody.
I want somebody from the airport on the show.
I got to put that on the line.
I want somebody from the Texas Rangers on this stupid show.
I want to know why it was not thought about.
And if it wasn't thought about, why is their promotions director not fired?
And I don't want to, oh, no, I better rephrase that.
You better rephrase that.
No, I don't want anybody fired.
No one is going to get fired.
I do not want anyone fired.
No.
I'm not asking for anyone to have their job taken away.
Or maybe, maybe in the future.
I believe you have to stress test the pipes I go up
maybe once a month or once a year.
2,000 gallons needs to be...
Do you have to stress test?
To me, that would be, I don't know, a game.
You hire...
That's a stress test, it's called The Games.
You hire Fisher Cruz,
multimedia conglomerate,
and we'll help you out with world records,
memorabilia, T-shirts, mugs.
T-shirts are memorabilia, but just, yeah, whatever.
Don't bug me that with facts.
I mean, I don't think I'm asking for too much, Fisher.
I mean, the show is done.
I'm done.
I turned my mic off.
I know you did.
But I would like you to say, subscribe, rate, review.
And today we got done earlier than usual.
No, we did not.
Oh, yes.
There's no way.
Absolutely.
There's no way.
