Oh, welcome to chewing the fat. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today. And we are approaching the holidays, aren't we? I know. Don't look at me like that. I don't believe the holidays are that close, but they are. And that means that we're going to get all the news that's important surrounding the holidays, like the KFC chicken-scented fire logs for the third straight year.

And they're going to be. carried exclusively at Walmart. So you still got a shot. Now, the last three years, they have sold out both in the store and online. So they launched this week. They're probably sold out already. But you may still have a shot.

If you're listening live right now, on the 27th of October 2020, you may still have a shot at the KFC fire log that smells like KFC. fried chicken. Man who doesn't want their house to smell like that. No, don't answer that. Just pretend like you do.

Welcome to chewing the fat. And it is chewing the fat. Not chewing the fat, but, you know, I was doing a... It's chewing. It's chewing the fat. So that same Walmart, by the way, is now suing the U.S. government.

Yay! in their preemptive strike against the legal battle, according to Walmart, they're in trouble because of their responsibility in what's being called the opioid abuse crisis. Now, I don't... Here's the deal. I think that the opioid abuse crisis is agonizing

in an overall big picture. I know that there was a problem, there is a problem, there was a problem, and doctors were over prescribing, and they knew that these particular areas around the country were over prescribing. And companies, you know, are paying out big dollars because of it. And their ads were, you know, telling the docs, they were giving bonuses to docs for writing prescriptions and so on.

However, now you're going to take into the hands of the pharmacists for not fulfilling those same prescriptions. Well, a couple things. the pharmacy was filling the prescriptions that were legal prescriptions at the time. Then we gave the pharmacists the right to say no. They were doing that with the abortion pill. They were saying no, they wouldn't give out the prescription. And they, you know, so they want to have it both ways.

They want to be able to tell you that, no, we're not filling that prescription. and then they want to be able to say, well, you gave us legal prescriptions, so we filled them. I'm not sure where that leads us down the road of responsibility from the pharmacies, but I guess we'll find out because they filed the lawsuit against the Justice Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration. So it'll be an interesting little battle going on between the government and Walmart both have pretty deep pockets

although Walmart doesn't have a printing machine you can kind of say they do because they kind of do but not like the government so we'll see what happens I'm sure what will happen is they'll say okay well we'll pay $800 million

for the opioid relief fund and then we're resolved of all wrongdoing thank you have a nice day I bet you that's pretty much a quote from the story and it hasn't even been printed yet. How many times could you listen to this?

It started from his dropping port aboard this tiny ship. The meat was a mighty sailing band. Skip her raided shore. My passengers set sail that day for three hour tour. A three hour tour. Oh, no. The weather started getting. Should I play the whole thing?

Yeah. The minnow would be lost. The minnow would be lost The ships and brown on the shore of this uncharted desert A skipper to A millionaire And his wife The professor and

Marriette A car the nest No single luxury So, Again, and then let's say It started up again Sit right back and you'll hear it. Don't worry, I'm not going to play the whole thing again.

Good Lord, no. But the question is, how many times could you hear it without pulling your hair out? So billionaire Bill Gross allegedly blared that theme on loop to annoy his neighbor during a dispute over a sculpture. It's the Sopranos in real life. Remember, for those of you that are 150,000, years old and remember the Sopranos and it happened I looked it up today it happened back in 2002 so it was you know 18 years ago 18 years ago and it was uh you know I mean during that that's when the Sopranos were you know huge there was they talked about the episode you know 12 and a half

million people watched it was in December but uh it's real life uh come to the Sopranos is it TV life life to TV so apparently this couple that lives next door to mr. mr. billionaire uh bill gross he got pissed because they had this sculpture up and there's a picture of the sculpture and it's just one of those sculptures you know of plants that you see and i'm sure they bought it at some they paid way too much money for it they probably bought it at some uh you know auction for uh you know a charity so They put it up and it's fine. It's not bad.

But they put a net. There was some sort of netting put up. And that's what ticked off Bill Gross was the netting. So this was here in Laguna Beach in California. And so when they put the netting around the sculpture, they were probably mad because the birds were landing on them and probably pooped on them and costing them a bunch of money in cleaning. And so, you know, they got angry with it. So they put the netting. up and that pissed off gross.

So he started playing the Gilligan's Island theme, blasting it into his neighbor's yard on loop. Okay. So, I mean, do you take the netting down? I don't know. It's really kind of funny, although it's not funny if it's you, right? So apparently, there's no humor in it and they're upset. and so they're suing them. They filed a lawsuit in Superior Court

for harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Okay, we'll see how that comes out. It's two rich guys battling each other. And apparently the guy that had the sculpture, he and his wife used to swim where the sculpture is, the picture of the sculpture, you see the pool on the other side of a wall and some bushes. You can see the pool.

and it's half under a roof and the other half is outside. It's right in the ocean. It looks gorgeous. But apparently he and the wife like to swim naked. And that was also upsetting to Bill Gross. And Gross has, he went after his first wife or one of his wives after a divorce where he would, he hired a army of spies and they would just go into the house and leave it in chaos. and leave puk smell and fart spray in the house.

It's not funny. It's not funny at all. And this guy does not have a sense of humor. And it's wrong. Okay? Wrong. But you remember the Sopranos episode where, and this is where I get it from with the Gilligan's out of theme,

Tony buys a house or he's going to buy a house and he gives this guy the money. And then he decides he's not going to buy it. and the guy won't give him all his money back. And so Tony, he says, I'll give you, finally after Tony talks to him, he says, I'll give you some of your money back, but I'm keeping a couple hundred thousand or whatever. And Tony will not have any of that. When Tony asked for all his money back, he expects his money back. And so he has his boys pull up a boat in the lake outside of this house and put up giant

speakers on the boat from his house and just face the speakers. toward the house and all you hear is Ladies and gentlemen The Sands Hotel probably presents The star of our show Direct from the bar Dean Martin And so the guy and his wife

Are entertaining with friends at the house And they're like, what the heck is that? And they get up to take a look And the boat Stugats Is just sitting there on the lake And they try to holly about it's just Tony and it's just on loop Of the

The album is never ending. So eventually, Tony gets his way and we'll get his money back because of that. You understand that is the process because of the Sopranos. Hello. Okay, there's some actual, I guess, real stories we can do too. Look, that's what I try to do here on chewing is, you know, weave real news and updates. so you get an idea of what's going on around the world. But I don't want to get too political because you get beat up all day long with politics.

I know that. And I don't want to do that to you. Enough is enough. So, and I know, I feel the same way. I watch it and I'm just beating my head in with this stuff. And I know that we are, for those of you listening live, we're a week away from the election. And it's the biggest election of our lives. And it's Trump and it's Biden.

And it's, I got it. it. But, and I'll play you, you know what we can do. I'll give me some real little. We'll play you the one spot that I did kind of like. You can, during Walking Dead, fear the Walking Dead and World Beyond, which you can, we talk about on my talking walking dead show every Monday with Jason Buttrill and my son Maximus Fisher. During those episodes this past week, there was a Trump ad that aired, which was

kind of funny. Here's how you can spot a zombie. Look for someone who has a corpse like a parent. Exhibits aggressive behavior, craves human flesh, and utters incoherent moans and groans. I don't know. With your help,

we can prevent the zombie uprising. I'm Donald Trump, and I approve this message. So you get it. Pictures of Biden, and he's sniffing the little girl's hair, and he's, I, wow, blah, wow, I don't know.

And, you know, they show him, and it's funny. Now it aired during Fear of the Walking Dead and it aired during World Beyond, which is the new Dead series as well. And you can, you know, hear about those shows on my Talking Walking Dead show. It's just, you know, if you're a subscriber to Chewing the Fat, you know that it drops on Mondays. So, anyway, so that was kind of funny.

Kind of funny. And I know that we're into that election. But, you know, there's a lot of other stuff going on that, you know, I try to get you involved with instead of having to hear about Donald Trump. and Joe Biden all the freaking time. Like, for instance, we've talked about Shepard Smith's new television show on CNBC. I kind of like Shep's new show. Have I watched it often?

No. Did I go back and watch it because I wanted to see it? Yes. We talked about it because it's agonizing that most of his reporters are out reporting with masks on. It drove me crazy. There was only a couple that took them off. And one made a point, the one White House reporter made a point of saying, I just took the mask off for the report.

Thank you. Thank you for doing that. I hate the virtue signaling of the masks while you're doing a report. Please take them off. Please. For the love of all that is holy. Just do your report without the mask. The cameraman's a good six feet away from you.

And nobody's around you. Do the report. And even if someone is there that you're doing a report with, Hold the microphone away from. I don't know. Do something. Just don't do the report with the mascot. So anyway, Shep show is hurting ranking-wise.

And it makes sense because you're not used to watching it. And I'm in that same boat. You know, do I go back and do I really want to watch the Shepard Smith show? No. But, you know, I would if I want to watch a show. He's not terrible. And he makes it big deal. about not being not being right or left trying to give people the news and just reporting on the news

well we you know a lot of people say i was going to say we all say that but and we do kind of want the news but cable viewing uh that's not really true uh we're looking at for the angles right i mean right or left you're looking for the angles and uh his numbers are not good on uh on uh on CNBC. In fact, they're saying they made a big deal about this article talking about his show was behind Lou Dobbs tonight repeats.

So his viewers were 343,000 total viewers in the first week. That's not good. Then it dropped the second week. And then it dropped the third week. Oh, Shep. Got to do something, man. Start doing the nightly talk shows, reminding

people that you're there. Do something, man. Because, look, CNBC hasn't had a show on at 7 o'clock that anybody wanted to watch for a long time, if ever. And so, you know, you're trying to grab whatever audience you can get on CNBC. So I would start doing some promotions, Shep. Do something that, you know, make somebody mad. Do something, bro. Take the show on the road, go in the middle of a hurricane.

Shep Smith reporting from, you know, a hurricane. something because if you're falling behind repeats of Lou Dobbs, that's a problem. But they say they're in it for the long haul and CNBC is, you know, committed to Shepard Smith and the news was Shepard Smith. So, okay,

good luck, God bless. But it's a long road for Shep. And the show's not good. The show's not that bad. He's got a cool set. I don't think it's as cool as the set he had on Fox, but he's got a cool set and good luck god bless you know maybe maybe shep should go put in to be the ghost of regent theater so there's a theater in picton ontario region theory theater in prince edward county and they are bummed they don't have their own ghost and so they're going to make it possible then it could be you.

And I say maybe Shep does that. So it's right down Main Street in downtown Picton, Ontario, and who doesn't want to be a part of a downtown and Picton, Ontario. And so it's a really cool kind of old school theater that needs a lot of work now. And it's been closed since March because of the pandemic. Oh, and it's usually hosts like 300 events a year. And it's been close. I mean, they are literally dying on the,

Vine. So they're trying to raise some money to stay alive and to fix up the joint a little bit. So they are giving you an opportunity to buy a $25 ticket. You're going to join in a drawing on Halloween. And if you win the drawing, you can be the official ghost of Regent Theater when you pass on. Kind of cool. I know. They're bummed. They don't have a ghost. Their chairman said all the grand old theaters in the world, London, New York, Toronto,

all have ghost stories attached to them. And so they have phantoms that haunt the stages and the dressing rooms and scare the audience. So we thought, oh, we want one too. Okay. So we don't want anybody to get hurt. but, you know, we want people to maybe a little jump in the dark and be fine. So it's part of their Raise the Curtain campaign. I kind of cool.

Look, they've got a leaking roof, and they're talking about modernizing accessibility services, which means, you know, they need wheelchair access and everything. So they're talking about a quarter of a million price tag to fix it all up. And they've been closed. They've got no way to make money. They need to be open to make money to fix it up. It's just amazing.

So you can do that. I'll tweet this out and the link is in the story and you can help this theater out. I think it'd be kind of cool actually. I'd be, you know, I don't know that I want my ashes. Ooh, I couldn't do my ashes though because then you

burn up. So if you want to be a ghost and you want to belong, you know, you could say that you're going to be the ghost of Regent Theater and, you know, maybe you're not going to be. You don't really mean it, but you get the bragging rights of being. the ghost of Regent Theater.

And it looks really cool. It's got a really cool front. It looks small. But maybe if it has an upper deck, maybe they sell it next year for the upper deck ghost. I am a fan of Regent Theater. There's plenty of old theaters around this country. If they don't have a ghost, this is a really good idea.

I realize that it's not in this country. I'm just talking. specifically about the United States now, not just Canada. But it's a good idea. And for 25 bucks, why not? You get a chance to be the bragging rights

of the ghost of an old theater? Kind of cool. It's a good idea. All right, let's go to the break room. Ooh, do I need a ghost in the break room? You know what? I may auction off a ghost of the break room. That might be, you know, something for charity.

So we'll see how that plays out, but I need something to drink and refresh my throat with something cool and refreshing. Oh, so good. Have you seen the trailer for Fat Man? And I know, you know, ha, ha, ha, isn't it a movie about you, Jeff?

No, but the Mel Gibson movie, Fat Man, where he plays Santa Claus, Chris Kringle. And it's got Walton Gagans in it, who I love is great. Marianne Jean-Baptiste is in it. It looks like it's going to be a fun movie. They're coming after Santa.

He's, you know, he's really distraught. And he does a partnership with the military. And Gagons is the hitman who's coming to kill him because of some rich little kid. It looks like it's, it looks like it's, you know,

know, the, what's the Sylvester Stallone, you know, Rambo. The Rambo's kind of like Mel Gibson is, you know, Rambo Santa Claus. It looks like it's going to be a fun watch. And it's coming out in November, which is surprise. It's going to be out of November 13th here in the U.S., November 19th in Australia, and then it's a digital download the next week. I like that a lot.

That hopefully is the new game plan. for these movies. Hey, we're going to be in theaters. We're going to be all over on this week. And then you can digitally download it and you can watch it at home. So if you don't want to go to the theaters, if you just want to be a ghost of a theater and not go, because it's closed, you can just watch it at home.

And it looks like it's a, you know, be a fun little Christmas movie. You know, a little diehard, a little diehard Christmas movie with Santa as Mel Gibson. Oh, as long as we're talking about movies, too, you're going to have to dry your eyes. Legally Blonde 3 has been pushed back to next year. And by next year, I mean 2022. So, I know, I know, I know, I know.

I'm just as bummed as you. I love the Legally Blonde series with Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods. Okay, I know. I love her just as much as you do. so I was forced to love her because my wife loves those movies. So why don't you just get off my back, okay? So just leave me alone.

Okay? Don't answer that. Just subscribe. Another quick note for those of you listening live. The World Series is still going on and it's the raise and the Dodgers. And I haven't, you know, I haven't really talked about it much.

I didn't talk about it yesterday, but it's, you know, the best of seven series is the World Series, for those of you that don't know. And it's the Tampa Bay Rays and the L.A. Dodgers. Now, what made me think about this is I read a story yesterday or today from one of the emails, morning emails that I get. And apparently, and I remember seeing it, they talked about Tampa.

And people got all wound up. It's not Tampa Bay. It's Tampa. It's not Tampa Bay. Well, you know, it is. Get over yourselves, Tampa. It is Tampa Bay. I lived there for 20 years.

It's Tampa Bay. I realize it's Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater. I got it in all the little dinkleberry cities around. I'm with you. But it's Tampa Bay. That's the Metroplex. Okay. So don't get yourself all wound up in a knot.

But the razor in it. They're down a game. It's three games to two. And that baseball game, Saturday night, was incredible. They were relentless and have been all year, really, even with the shortened baseball season. And I haven't watched a lot of baseball throughout the regular season, but since it was the raise and it's the World Series, I love baseball. And so, you know, I've been watching it. And it's been exciting.

It's been fun. So those of you listening live, again, the 27th, which is, you know, Tuesday, there's a World Series game tonight. and it'll be fun. It'll be fun to watch. And I'll, on Friday, Fat Pop Friday, I'll tell you who won the World Series. And we'll see what happens, I think, right? We've got Tuesday, which is game five.

And tomorrow will be, no, game six and seven. Yeah, game six and seven. So by Friday we'll know for sure. Who is the World Series Champions? When's the last game of the... I know I've got to find out. Hold on. Just stay where you're at.

And let me double check what I'm looking at. All right, I just needed a little music. I don't even know why you moved. You shouldn't even have moved. It wasn't that long, okay? But you have the game tonight and the game tomorrow. And the Dodgers are the home team. So you're looking at Rays v. Dodgers, not Dodgers v. Rays.

And for those of you that don't know, whatever team is V the last name, that's the home team. Okay? Just so yeah, that's the way they do things in sports. So we'll know tomorrow night is game seven if the Rays win tonight. So they have been relentless all year. So come on, Tampa Rays. Let's go. Oh, it's Tampa Bay Rays.

Oh, no. I mean, I still have. I got to break out my Rays jerseys. I've got my, I've got the inaugural baseball from the very first game that the Rays played at Tropicana Field. I should probably Instagram that out, Jeff Fisher Radio, on Instagram. by the way. And let's you see a picture of it. I've got, you know, a couple of raised jerseys, a white and a blue. We might have to go out all raised tonight. All raised tonight in game six. But that Saturday night game, anyway, what got me started on it, that Saturday night game was awesome. And it was the bottom of the

ninth, and they were down and a couple of errors and a throwing and a bobble. And it was incredible. They win. And they win in the ninth. It was amazing. I mean, it was an exciting game to watch. and the question that everybody asked at the end of the game is, what just happened? What just happened is the race wasn't that game. It's what happened. It's pretty incredible.

So, anyway, go race. You know, I wonder if you could just, if you wanted to play a song, loop it to get people going crazy if it'd be the Beverly Hillbillies theme. Because, you know, California is a place to be. Not really. Because you're looking at 60,000 people

were placed under. vaccination orders in California and Orange County yesterday because of the wildfire. You got PG&E beginning to shut off power to about 361,000 California customers over wildfire risks. It doesn't sound like the place you want to be.

It doesn't sound like you want to load up the truck and move to Beverly. But if you do, good for you. Good for you. I got it. No problem. You know, that's why I thought, Okay, I haven't talked about the royals in a while, speaking to living in L.A. Life moving on. I mean, what is going on with Harry and Megan?

What's going on? Are they getting a divorce? I said they would. I know. I know. I said they would, okay? And it's just surprising to me that we're getting stories now about Prince and Harry, unhappy in marriage and

Megan is hooked by a political activist and she's turned Harry into this what's the line that he used unconscious bias that was it

he said thanks to Megan his wife the Duchess of Sussex he now understands unconscious bias do you do you okay all right we'll see how that goes but i know that they're talking about uh we're getting reports on uh body language during interviews we've had that for a little while now we are getting the stories of harriet megan have painted themselves as intellectuals and chose ignatic gestures

when talking about running for political office i mean I mean, if Harry's got, William's got to take him by the side in the castle and say, dude, what are you doing? But it's just, okay. I still, there's still there, that divorce is happening. I'm telling you. Maybe it's not a divorce, but they're not going to be together. Harry is going to zip back to the castle, I promise you.

Prince Andrew. I mean, he's trying to get back into, Good graces with the with the monarchy now. You know, they send him away. Get out of here. You're Jeffrey Epstein, Bud Buds. Get out of here. You're not going to do anything.

You're not going to work for the monarchy. You're not going to do it. You're not going to do Be Under the Queen. And now he's trying to, you know, get back. He wants redemption from the castle. I bet he does. I bet he's tired of living out in the country and not having the life he would become.

I mean, he's still living a good life. Let's be honest. He's not in a. a trailer, okay? But that's what there's anything wrong with being in a trailer. I love living in my trailer. But I'm telling you, he likes the idea of being out and being treated like the prince he's been treated like for his entire life.

He doesn't like that being out on the countryside with nobody kissing his ass every day. Well, you know, except for the regular servants, but you know how tiring that can become. It's just exhausting having to deal with the servants. So did you see where Delta, uh, Delta, has now banned at least 460 passengers from flying on their flights now because they refused to wear face masks during flights. Did they all refuse to wear face coverings? Or was it part of your deal?

You didn't like the face coverings? We saw the videos. Anyway, they're out of the no-fly list for Delta. And I'm sure they haven't shared that with the other airlines. So according to Delta, their head guy, you know, he's all big on masks and it's the safest way and we all should be wearing masks. And of course, you're supposed to wear your mask on flights. You'd think, this is just me talking out loud. You'd think maybe the airlines would be first and foremost saying, hey, we're dying on the vine.

So we want you to wear masks. But if you don't want to, that's okay. we're an American airline. We want you to make the choice. If you fly and you don't have a mask, we'll give you one. But if you don't want one, that's okay too, because I just told you, and we talked about the study that the airlines did. I think it was United, not Delta, but they did the study where the air in the plane is, you know, safe. and the filtration system is wonderful and it's beautiful.

And in fact, you couldn't be safer than if you were on an airplane. I mean, that's pretty much what the study said. So, I mean, you'd think, you'd just think that the airlines would be that way. But no, you would be wrong. I mean, there's still, look, they've got, looking at the TSA checkpoint numbers through the turnstiles, yesterday was 898,000. 734 to be exact 735 so a year ago was over 2 million i mean they've only broke a million the 18th of this month the 18th of october which was a sunday i mean i don't know why that was such a big

deal but they 1 million 31,505 went through the turnstiles and a year ago it was 2 million 6606 so i mean almost one of the busier days. So the 18th, man, that mid-October is busy travel time. But they're still dying. They need at least double that to even come close to being alive. So you'd think that they would, you know, be okay with people making their own choice of not wearing a mask. But I digress. I would be wrong because that's not what's going on. And the Delta, apparently. we've approved an alliance between WestJet and Delta. I mean, they're going to, airlines are going to be making alliances with any,

any business they can. WestJet is a Canadian company. So I guess they're going to make a deal of flying in and out of Canada. And you'll be able to, if you have a Delta ticket, you can fly on WestJet and WestJet on Delta, you know, anything to up the business, no question. And we hear all of this. And then we see where the UK has a new, fighter jet that is

awesome I mean it looks awesome and it looks like it does an awful lot and look it doesn't cost very much to make the program is only a couple of billion dollars

so not worry about it it's got a multifunction radio frequency system that can collect and analyze radar data allowing the pilots to detect threats sooner than ever it's got the radar system is capable of collecting up to 10,000 times more data than earlier radar systems. It's incredible.

The plane looks so freaking cool. I wish it had fat guy seating because it would be really cool. It's able to collect as much data per second as the city of Edinburgh's internet traffic. I mean, Edinburgh, obviously it's UK. So there's 482,000 people. So, I mean, it's just amazing what this flight plane, plane, flight, plane, F-35, joint strike, fighter, I can't even say what it is. I'm looking at these pictures of it and I'm like, I want to fly in this machine. It's got electronic attack missions with radar and false targets, network attack, advanced jamming, algorithm-pack data streams.

Okay, just let me in. Just let me in. I want to fly in it. I know. I know. What they want most is to have a talk show host, fat guy in this tempest fighter plane. But I'm telling you, it looks really cool. And if you're one of the pilots that is flying this bad boy, I bet you are in love with this machine because it looks cool.

because it looks cool. All I ask, put in, just make one. Just make one down the line. Then it has a special fat guy seat just for me. It's all I ask. I don't think that's too much to ask for. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.

So I shouldn't go the entire show without mentioning that Amy Coney Barrett is now a Supreme Court justice. Congratulations. She was, you know, sworn in. It was pretty incredible to watch. Justice Clarence Thomas swearing in Amy Coney-Barrant. This country is so horrible that we have a black man who is on the Supreme Court,

swearing in a female who is going to be on the Supreme Court. Just, I know, I know, horrible. I get it. We're bad people. I know. Okay? So get off me, all right? We have, you know, that's, I don't want to get too political.

That's fine. I just want to congratulate Amy Coney Barrett on her Supreme Court nomination and being inducted into the Supreme Court Hall of Fame. Congratulations to ACB. A massive search is now underway in Ireland. for fungi. I know. You're asking yourself, who is fungi? Well, a fungi has disappeared from Dingle Bay.

And fungi is a dolphin who apparently is a superstar in Dingle Bay. And now has been missing for over a week. And they're worried. Oh, no. The only other time that fungi has gone. missing, we're missing for a day and then, you know, showed up again. So they're really concerned because Fungy is part of their tourist attraction. And even though they've been locked down, you know, the director of the Dingle Ocean World Aquarium in Dingle Harbor has become really bumped because there's no fungi in Dingle Bay.

So I don't know what's going on. They don't know if fungi just swam. off and died. They know that about a week or so ago there were some whales out at the mouth of the harbor, and Fungy was out there goofing around

with the whales, and maybe Fungy swam off with the whales. You know, they didn't mention it. Maybe the whale ate the dolphin. I don't know. I don't know. Do whales eat dolphins by accident? Maybe a young whale. And then, you know, there goes fungi. Oh, no.

It could have been a problem. I don't know. I'm just guessing. Fungy was old. Could have just swam off and said, hey, because they said the doc, this Dr. Flannery from the, well, he's the director from Dingle Ocean World Aquarium

in Dingle Harbor. Their real name had said that the last, the few days before the last time that Fungy was seen, Fungy was active and swimming around and doing stuff that normally didn't do. So maybe it was the last hurrah before fungi, you know, swam off and died.

Like, I'm still alive. Yay. Yay. Well, too much, dead. So I don't know. We don't know. But if you're out in the ocean, you know, hanging around Dingle Harbor and you see Fungy, let fungi know hey get back in there they've been looking for you where the heck you been also in other

animal news uh coming from a zoo not dangle harbor the uh african penguins at a dutch zoo uh you remember them last year the gay couple the gay couple last year stole the lesbians egg egg No, let me, no, no, no, stop. Last year, they stole an egg from a heterosexual couple. This year, they stole a nest with eggs in it from a lesbian couple. I don't know what the hell these penguins are doing. Somebody needs to put an end. This zoo is letting these penguins just run crazy.

We've got heterosexual couples, we've got lesbian couples, we've got gay couples, and they're running around. The gay couple is stealing eggs. stealing nests and apparently the one guy penguin is sitting on the egg or eggs in from the nest but they're saying that the eggs probably aren't fertilized because you know we all know that life will find a way from the documentary Jurassic Park but the lesbian couple has eggs and they usually aren't fertilized so Huh, you need a male and a female to have an egg that's actually fertilized, but life will find a way.

So anyway, this gay couple in the Dutch zoo have stolen a nest this year. So we'll, you know, we've got to start keeping them in line. I don't know what's going on over there, but something needs to, something needs to happen. I'll tell you that. And in Nebraska, and then there's another story out of Michigan. too but Nebraska huge poaching case has now got 30 guilty pleas 570,000 in fines and prison time for the one guy in this poaching theme. I mean, they were, uh, they were doing some serious, some serious animal killing. It was a 30 month federal prison sentence for Jacob.

Hufthel or Hufel, H-U-E-F-T-L-E-F-T-L-L-E-F-T-L-L-E-F-L-T-L-L-E. and he was a co-owner and chief operator of his, what was the name of the place? Hidden Hills Outfitters, all right. And they were, they came down hard on them. And, you know, really, they kind of deserve it, all right. They all told at least 97 game animals were killed with the help of illegal tactics, including 30 white-tailed deer,

34 mule deer, six pronghorn antelope, 27 turkeys. I mean, the guy was, he was doing some damage all for money, right? And he was killing hawks and falcons as well, and other non-game migratory birds. We know, that's doing some damage, right?

So people were paying $2,500 to $7,000. for his guide services. And, you know, if you're paying that money for the guide services, you expect to come away with an animal that you were looking for, right? And whether it's illegal or not, you want to walk away with that animal. Then I saw it to Michigan, where a poacher gets jail time and a $36,000 fine for killing Eagle. and wolves. Now, if you're killing Eagles, I feel like you should

be more than $36,000 in reimbursement costs. And how much did he get jail time? Not very long. He worked out a plea agreement with prosecutors, so he pleaded guilty to three counts of illegal take and possession of wolves,

three counts of illegal take and possession of bald eagles and one count of illegal commercialization of a protected species, which was for the wolves. Slapped, according to them, with a harsher than normal sentencing than is typical for wildlife crime. For one, he was sentenced to 90 days of jail time. The release notes, 30 will be set aside in case of parole violation.

He ordered to pay $36,240. and he will forfeit all snares, firearms, and other items seized by the DNR during their investigation, lost his hunting and trapping privileges for life in Michigan and 47 other states as part as the interstate wildlife violator compact who doesn't know about the interstate wildlife violator compact. They investigated him for 18 months. Boy, that's seen. like we investigated this guy for 18 months. He killed at least three bald eagles and 18, 18 wolves. Wow.

And he's only getting 90 days. He works out a deal for 90 days and 36,000. That seems like it should be a lot more. It seems like the prosecutors are letting this guy get away with quite a bit by having him work out a plea agreement. I know he's not going to be able to hunt anymore legally if you believe that he

is going to follow the law but that seems it seems light. It seems like, but hey, at least they got him, right? Right. Of course. Of course. Ooh, and I'll leave you with a little breaking news.

I see where James O'Keefe, our man from Project Veritas, has now got someone else, This guy, man, is relentless. I love him. He's got a ballot chaser in Texas. Illegally pressures the voter to change vote to Democrat candidate with gift.

I wonder if that's legal or not. It says here in his tweet, If I go to prison, I do not look cute in stripes. I will hate you forever, says the ballot chaser. wow and he's released a video too many video on his tweet for catching this person so i'm sure that's going to be everywhere right of course it is this is going to be news everywhere project veritas does it again and he just gets and james just gets disregarded for all this stuff but i will say that while i love it and ben he's

He's tough, man. He goes into the fire, man, and catches these people doing what we know they're doing. And he just catches them all doing it. But, man, we have got to have some faith in our election process. And the more we see of this, the more faith we lose in our election process. And that is not a good thing. And you can quote me on that.

But look for Project Veritas and James O'Keefe's new breakdown because, man, it's so, I don't know. Just, now this makes me sad. Good for James and good for Project Veritas, but we've got to have faith in our election process. And this is starting to make me lose that faith. And I don't want to. All right, that's it. I can't do anymore.

I don't want to lose faith. No.
