Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Chewing the Fat on Demand. No, seriously, this is not for the podcast. Okay? Baby, it's cold outside. I really can't stay. All I want to do is hear that song. Ooh, and I've got to send this to Hillary, too. Why can't railroad engineers be electrocuted?
Starting point is 00:00:31 Because they aren't conductors. Thank you. Hillary will. She'll laugh. She puts the jokes on her Instagram all the time. Silly. Look at that Earth. My gosh.
Starting point is 00:00:43 7.0 earthquake in Alaska. And they had tsunami warnings, obviously. Anytime there's an earthquake over 0.2, there's a tsunami warning. And the earthquake in Kansas, tsunami warning. Stop it. But they had the tsunami warning, which didn't happen. But 7.0. You remember when we were not too long ago when Irving was having,
Starting point is 00:01:04 all the earthquakes and I remember sitting in the room urine Chris that was my office then and it was earthquake hit here and it was like a three I mean this entire building shook I mean it was I said I thought someone was running over me and I was sitting there and I feel the small shake coming and it was like
Starting point is 00:01:28 and the walls start shaking that's a three you look at that footage from a seven man, that does some damage now. There's some stuff that got knocked down with a seven. You're doing some serious building damage. If it doesn't fall, you're cracking some foundations. I mean, you need to check it all. Bridges, all of it.
Starting point is 00:01:50 That's dangerous. That does some damage. And now there's, there have been aftershocks. The governor is declared, of course, a state of emergency. It's Alaska. There's like, what, 10 people there? Oh, it's right. Your sister's in Alaska now.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Yeah. Nice to meet her. I'm not kidding. This is not for the podcast. I welcome to it. This is Chewing the Fat with yours. Your is truly Jeff Fisher. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today.
Starting point is 00:02:26 I appreciate it. Been a busy day already. I mean, we had Pat on Leashed this morning. We had more on trivia. I was on the news and why it matters. with Pat and Jason and myself, and of course, you know, Sarah Gonzalez. I mean, she's at the helm of that show. Runs that show with a tight fist.
Starting point is 00:02:49 And except when she's pointing her finger at me, which really ticked me off today, by the way. I'm going to have to have a little chat about it. Now, more on trivia. It was Minnesota, New England, New England won. So we predicted New England will win the game on Sunday. All right. And that's, if Minnesota beats New England and New England,
Starting point is 00:03:07 times are changing. I'm just saying. So anyway, it's the holidays. Yesterday we were talking about, you know, Christmas music and, uh, what's your faces? All I want for Christmas is you.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Well, now, we've got a radio station in Cleveland. The home of the rock and roll Hall of Fame, by the way, uh, deciding that, um, the song,
Starting point is 00:03:32 baby, it's cold outside. because of the hashtag Me Too movement. We can't play that. We can't play that. What? Are you kidding me? First, we attack Charlie Brown.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Charlie freaking Brown. The Christmas show Charlie Brown. They give them a hard time because the one kid, the black kid, is sitting on the other side of the table. And everybody else is sitting on the side of the table. other side. Can I interject?
Starting point is 00:04:10 Yes. He sit on the other side of the table, but if you look at the seat, he has the most comfortable seat out of all of them. Well, he sits. They made him sit in a lawn chair. They're sitting in the table chairs. I mean, it's questionable. I like to spin, though.
Starting point is 00:04:26 The lawn chair's a lot more comfortable than those other chairs. Except normally lawn chairs don't fit up into the dining room table properly. you know because you're down too low and you're not comfortable. No, that's not a good spin. But I like it. It's all right. It's good idea. So they're mad at them for that.
Starting point is 00:04:48 All right. Now, I can't enjoy Rudolph the Red Nose Rangere. I mean, I always knew that. That's been, that show, that's because that's what that show is, right? But Rudolph, think of this for just a second. This is my spin on Rudolph. Rudolph and Dingleberry, the Hermie,
Starting point is 00:05:08 Hermie wants to be a dentist, goes out. And it's because of the turmoil that their face that they've been thrown into that creates this great thing for them. They realize their potential. And everyone else realizes their potential. Yeah, Santa's a jerk.
Starting point is 00:05:26 His dad's a jerk. The train, what's his face? Donner is a jerk. They're all jerks to Rudolph, except for the chick. She knows. What's at Clarice? She knows. Clarice saw the greatness of Rudolph from the very beginning.
Starting point is 00:05:43 That's why she went with him. And she knew she'd get free dental workers. She stuck with him because Hermie was there. And then they hooked up with, I don't even give me, I can tell you though. I love Rudolph. But we can't even watch that now because it's, you know, Santa's a jerk. Are we in the hashtag Santa's a jerk? Movement now too?
Starting point is 00:06:05 And now, this radio station, the Cleveland radio station. WDOK, Christmas 102.1, pulled the song, maybe it's cold outside. Now, they say that it really wasn't our decision. It's the decision of our listeners, says WDOK, midday host, Desiree. She told WJW noting that the Christmas lineup is decided by the station's listeners. The station said and posted a poll on the song on its website, a clear majority of respond to support of the decision to remove the song on the station's lineup. Okay, that was on the station website, which are not visible to the public,
Starting point is 00:06:52 but the poll that is visible to the public is on the station's Facebook page. The station's Facebook page poll shows that they had 600 votes. What about the listenership a little bit there, WDOK in Cleveland? And 94% of the people voting in that poll said, let the song play. 6% said it was, felt that it was inappropriate. Now, we are in a world today where the 6% that thinks it's inappropriate rule the 94% who say it's appropriate. The minority rules the majority.
Starting point is 00:07:32 That is. and to the credit of this station right now they have 2,200 votes. Oh, nice. But there's still 94 to 6. So the majority is still saying, we want to hear this song. It's a classic Christmas song. And it's been redone several times. I don't know who, you know, all the hot country and rock artists that get together, male and female,
Starting point is 00:07:58 like to redo this song because of the lyrics going back and forth. and it showcases their talent. It showcases the love struggle during the holidays. It's just a doggone holiday classic. And I thought, okay, well, what are actual the lyrics? I mean, everybody, you know, I should just do a video of driving with singing because nobody knows the words to songs. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:27 So the video is more like the song is playing, the song is playing, and all you do is maybe it's cold outside. Maybe it's cold outside. So I would think with any song, I mean, it's just the, it's the line, right? I mean, it's the hook line. So what are the lyrics to maybe it's cold outside? All right. So we have the lyrics.
Starting point is 00:08:54 I printed the lyrics out. And I mean, it's clear that there's, if this is a possible Me Too movement, problem. The Blaze isn't going to allow me to do this with a female. So I thought I'd do it with someone who identifies as a female today for a short period of time. Me? Yeah, Chris. Hey, how you doing? Yes, I identify as a female today. So, uh, you are, I want, you're going to be the female. Got it. Which is in the lyrics that I printed out are the lyrics that are not in parentheses. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Now, there are times in the song, and I know we could go through and, you know, do it. Now, there are times in the song when both are singing the parentheses, when both artists, I use that word very lightly with us, too. But when both artists are singing in the parentheses. But for this purpose, for this show purpose, we'll just do the song, you're reading the lyrics outside of the parentheses. I'm going to be reading the lyrics inside the parentheses. And we're going to see if the song,
Starting point is 00:10:01 should be banned or not banned. Got it. Sounds like a fun idea. Well, I don't know about fun, but because depending on the... Oh, yeah, it depends how the... Yes, yes, yes. Yes, I agree. We might be hashtagging me too quickly.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Okay. All right? I'm ready. All right, so ladies and gentlemen, baby it's cold outside. I really can stay. All right, we just stop right there. Oh, no singing. No singing?
Starting point is 00:10:25 Don't try to pretend you're singing. Okay, no singing. All right, here we go. Sorry, sorry. All right, I mean... Well, well, we just... Maybe if you go back, maybe if you go back and forth,
Starting point is 00:10:34 because that wasn't bad, actually. It wasn't bad. So it could possibly get worse, which would make it good. Yes. So go ahead. Okay. I really can stay.
Starting point is 00:10:43 But maybe it's cold outside. I've got to go away. But maybe it's cold outside. This evening has been. Been hoping that you drop in. So very nice. I'll hold your hands. They're just like ice.
Starting point is 00:11:00 My mother. will start to worry. Beautiful, what's your hurry? My father will be pacing the floors. Listen to the fireplace roar. So I really, I'll better scurry. Beautiful, please don't hurry. But maybe just a half a drink more.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Put some records on while I pour. The neighbors might think? Baby, it's bad out there. Say, what's in this drink? No cabs to be had out there. I wish I knew how. Your eyes are like starlight now. To break this spell.
Starting point is 00:11:35 I'll take your hat. Your hair looks swell. I ought to say no, no, no, sir. Mind if I move in closer? At least I'm going to say that I try. What's the sense in hurting my pride? I really can't stay. Oh, baby, don't hold out.
Starting point is 00:11:52 I simply must go. But baby, it's cold outside. The answer is no. But maybe it's cold outside. Your welcome has been... How lucky that you dropped in. So nice and warm. Look out the window at this dawn.
Starting point is 00:12:10 My sister will be suspicious. Gosh, your lips look delicious. My brother will be there at the door. Waves upon the tropical shore. My maiden aunts, mine is vicious. Gosh, your lips are delicious. But maybe just a cigarette more. Never.
Starting point is 00:12:29 a blizzard before. I've got to get home. But baby, you'd freeze out there. Say, lend me a coat. It's up to your knees out there. You've really been grand. I thrill when you touch my hand. But don't you see?
Starting point is 00:12:45 How can you do this thing to me? There's bound to be talk tomorrow. Think of my lifelong sorrow. At least there will be plenty implied. If you got pneumonia and died? I really can't stay. Get over that old out. Baby it's cold outside.
Starting point is 00:13:07 That's classic right there. That has to be played. I'm in the 94%. Come on. I mean, look, the station said that the lyrics are, you know, playful. And that's, you know, there's an old standby. But. But.
Starting point is 00:13:27 The song is an example of the rape culture in which we live. Shut up! And the first step to preventing sexual violence is to change that. Shut up. It's a song. It's a song. It may have different meaning to a rape survivor. Yeah, no kidding.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Everything does. Everything may have a different meaning. See, that's the whole point of being the minority. minority. All right? You know, someone could have a different opinion of that. And I know. Someone shouldn't maybe watch Law and Order SVU.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Someone shouldn't maybe watch NCIS and have their PTSD flare up. Okay. Someone shouldn't watch Game of Thrones. Although I don't know why they wouldn't want to watch Game of Thrones. I mean, Game of Thrones has everything. Family, law and order, crime, violence, sex. I mean, why wouldn't you want to watch it?
Starting point is 00:14:47 It doesn't make any sense. Oh, this isn't Game of Thrones talk, is it? Now, this is hashtag me too for maybe it's cold outside. I still vote for the song. I want to go back to maybe it's cold outside for just a second. I know we moved on and I'm sorry, but it's just kind of gnawn at me a little bit because the couple, they're an interacting couple who are maybe not boyfriend and girlfriend,
Starting point is 00:15:14 but want to be. They like each other. They like each other. And nothing is happening. He, of course, is trying to get her to stay. She is saying, no, but oh, I'll stay for a more drink and we'll talk for a little bit more. That's fine. I know it's cold outside.
Starting point is 00:15:28 You keep to, I don't want to go out there either, but I have to get home and I want to get home, but I'll stay for a little bit. and I know you want me to stay and, you know, yeah, we can, oh my gosh, did he say something about her lips and they were kissing? My heart be still. What the world does that have to do with rape culture? No, Jeffie, all this song is talking about, it's so stupid because it's like, they're really like each other. They're just teasing. They're just playing. They're just saying, you know, it's the art of seduction. It's what we did to get our spouses. She knows she's not supposed to be there, but you want her to stay there. It's so stupid. Just stop it. Because it's
Starting point is 00:16:06 not saying anything about raping her or nothing. It's just playful. That's all it is. Can we go back to being playful with each other and give it the beffin on the doubt that we're not there to rape you? Dana Lash, and she takes a beating. She really does. She drives me, just drives me crazy. And she fights tooth and nail, man. And she fights back good. And she deserves to fight back good. And she gets hammered for anything. Now they're giving her, she's a gun hooker.
Starting point is 00:16:46 I love my guns. I don't feel the need to dress up like a streetwalker and take pictures with them. I for one would support Tom Arnold protecting my kids at school or anywhere over Dana. The Blood Leach. A good heart is stronger than any weapon. Now, normally
Starting point is 00:17:02 Dana might say, God bless. Now this is, I dress up like a streetwalker and take pictures with them. I'm just going to leave this right here and walk away with her picture on guns and ammo. It just fascinates me how much they hate her. And she couldn't be more of what they want a woman to be in America today. Married, children, working, husband, in-law. family, extended family.
Starting point is 00:17:42 It's just amazing to me. But because she's a spokesman for the NRA and because she's a spokesman for constitutional rights, they hate her. It's just amazing. All right. Well, I'm sorry. It just amazes me how much,
Starting point is 00:18:02 what a beating Dana takes. And she takes it full shoulders, man. Full shoulders. No back down. And my favorites are when they just, I mean, my favorite is them calling her just some of the most horrific stuff that they would never call her to her face. There's not a person out there that calls Dana Lash something on Twitter and some of the, I mean, just vile. And if they walked in front of her in real life, they would cower down their knees in front of her. They'd be so afraid to say that to her in real life.
Starting point is 00:18:40 But when they do and she just reply, you know, they're looking to go in her into something mean. And she's just like, God bless. I love her. It was just agonizing to me the beating she takes. All right. So let's, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go off on Dana for a little bit. It just kind of pisses me off.
Starting point is 00:19:00 She doesn't deserve it. But that's okay. You want to beat her up like that? She's a big girl. She takes it. She fights back. And if there's ever a time when Dana feels like, ooh, I don't feel like fighting you.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Chris will step in. Husband will step in. And Chris will take care of it. Don't worry about it. It's okay. Ridiculous. All right. Where are we going?
Starting point is 00:19:24 Let's go to the fat pile. It's fat pile Friday on chewing the fat. Thank you so much for tuning in. Hashtag chewing the fat.

So we, uh, where are we headed on the fat pile today? I've got, you know, when, uh, when you saw, if you follow me already on Instagram and Facebook and Twitter and you saw that my fat pile needed liposuction today, it most definitely needs liposuction. Because what happens is, Every day we get new stories and we do them and we try to get through them, but we don't get through them all. I don't know why we don't get through them all.
Starting point is 00:20:45 So your guess is as good as mine. I know. Can I tell them why? Because I know why. I don't think anyone really knows why. Nobody understands the math behind it. I mean, we get new stories and then by the end of the podcast, there's still stories left over. And I don't know that we, I mean, do you honestly think you have an answer?
Starting point is 00:21:04 Oh, I have an answer. I mean, the answer is that your stories, your personal life stories somehow overshadow the headline. And next thing I know, I'm 20 minutes deep and we'll only cover one headline. I mean, it's my show. It's two of the fat. And from time to time, I may go down a road that was unplanned. time to time. I mean,
Starting point is 00:21:36 the stories bring up, you know, some of these stories bring up so many memories. I have flashbacks. So many memories. And I like to share them with you. I mean,
Starting point is 00:21:44 there's plenty of stories I don't share. We could be here. It'll be here a long time. I start sharing all those stories. So where are we going? Oh, let's go to Starbucks. Shall we?
Starting point is 00:21:55 Let's go to Starbucks. Because I want to be a fan of Starbucks and then I don't want to be a fan of Starbucks. All right? Some of the things they have at Starbucks I enjoy. Not very many. You know, my daughter, I told you before, I think my daughter gets the strawberry pink drink. And once in a while, like the French vanilla cappuccino, if I have to get something out of there.
Starting point is 00:22:15 But other than that, I'm, you know. So now Starbucks has now decided that they're going to make it so you can't get porn on their Wi-Fi at Starbucks. Now, I know you're thinking to yourself, well, Jeffie's going to be for that. you know, look, I'm not opposed to people looking at porn where they want to. But look, at Starbucks, it's their company. They honestly can do what they want. And I don't, you know, it doesn't bother me. What kills me, though, is like, you know, this multi-billion dollar company now.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Schultz, the head guy, is Mr. Self-Ritechus guy. And they can't, they don't have a way to block porn in their stores with their free Wi-Fi. I find that very hard to believe. I know Duncan Donus does. And because there are, and other companies, have ways to block porn when you go into their stores with their free Wi-Fi. I'm guessing when you go to McDonald's, I've used McDonald's Wi-Fi before,
Starting point is 00:23:27 there's no porn. They have the blocking device. So Starbucks is now, we've figured out a way. Starbucks is now figured out a way. Good for them. We've got it down. Yeah, I mean, McDonald's, Subway, Chick-fil-A, they all have Wi-Fi that you don't get porn on.
Starting point is 00:23:50 So I love the Starbucks there line was we have now, we've now figured it out how we can do it. Are you doing something? different than anybody else in America? I mean, I'm guessing that if you went to, I don't know, McDonald's and said, hey, what do you guys do to block porn? Oh, that's how you do it on your free Wi-Fi? Oh, okay, we'll do that then.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Duh. I'm guessing maybe you're a billion-dollar company, your iPy. T department would be able to figure that out. It just as it amazes me that we've figured it. Oh, you know what? We're able to do it now. We've figured it out. Well, thank you.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Thank you so much. Now, they've said they've never, in the past, we've never permitted illegal or egregious content at our locations. Really? Really. You've monitored every single computer that's used your free Wi-Fi. You won't even stop people from using your bathroom. So you're telling me that you've stopped that?
Starting point is 00:25:14 I think not. And really, the only reason to stop the porn on the free Wi-Fi, and I mean this, the only real reason to stop being able to access pornography on a free Wi-Fi is the child porn rings. because that's how they bypass a lot of the filters that are set up that trigger warnings and that also alert other systems they get on that free Wi-Fi which doesn't have any filters and they go through that.
Starting point is 00:25:54 I just can't believe that Starbucks. We finally figured it out. We finally figured it out. We can do it now. Well, good for you. Thanks for jumping on board. All right. Let's pile out to the fat pile.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Let's do. Don't look at me like that. This is, I'm not even, this is just, this is like new fat. You mean there's old fat? Believe me, there's old fat. Believe me. There's old fat. X manager.
Starting point is 00:26:37 of O.J. Simpson, the juice, claims he didn't act alone. O.J. Simpson's former manager, Norman Pardo, is making a documentary about the infamous murders. I mean, we've already got two or three of those bad boys around, right? This is to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the homicides of Nicole and Ron Goldman. For the first time, the most thorough... This is his sales pitch, by the way. All right. This is not me telling you.
Starting point is 00:27:09 This is his sales pitch for the documentary. For the first time, the most thorough investigation into the murder ever conducted will be shared with America. I mean, I've seen a pretty, I lived it, and I've seen, I believe probably every show about it. He has more than 70 hours of video of Simpson that nobody has seen. Wow. and we've assembled a team of internationally renowned criminal investigators, experts, and lawyers. This is his sales pitch. He believes that they can not only prove Simpson was involved in their deaths, but for the first time, reveal that he had one, at least one accomplice.
Starting point is 00:28:02 That's pretty amazing because we already, a lot of people already figured that. and he's already been found innocent of that. He's already been found not guilty of that. He's already done time in prison for another crime that was, I always felt that they gave him more time for that crime because they didn't, they feel like he should have done time for the actual murders, which he was found not guilty on, and then he was found guilty in a civil court.
Starting point is 00:28:31 And we've all seen, you know, the documentary, you know, America versus O.J. Simpson or O.J. versus America, or whatever the heck the title of that thing is. And he's still O.J. Simpson, man. You saw that guy walk out of jail in Vegas, and it's still the juice. I mean, I know it's just me. I get it. I know he's a, you know, he's a, do I believe he did it?
Starting point is 00:28:55 Yeah, you know, now I think he did. Now I think he did. But I don't want to believe it. And when I saw him, this last time when he got out of jail, I mean, I still, in my mind, that's O.J. Simpson. And at the time, he was the juice, man. He was O.J. Simpson. And so it's hard to see him, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:24 walk out in prison blues and in handcuffs. And he's still the juice, man. Still O.J. It's hard. But you can look forward to that. Look forward to that documentary. Because there's not enough O.J. Simpson documentaries out there. to be had in
Starting point is 00:29:42 Guntersville, Alabama. And I love Guntersville, Alabama this time of year. Beautiful. Officials screwed up. Officials screwed up. And you think to yourself, wow, how could you screw up so much that you'd order 24,000 extra rolls of toilet paper? Well, they did.
Starting point is 00:30:06 They mistakenly spent 22. thousand dollars on toilet paper and another nine thousand dollars for four hundred and fifty cases of trash bags so whoever is ordering uh that's a little bit of a problem there in guntersville alabama um the entire budget for the janitorial supplies is only 15000 dollars a year and they're a little little too much that's a couple years worth now county commissioners get this. This is what I found interesting about this. The county commissioners have negotiated a bill of more than $30,000 down by about half. So now they've got two years worth of stuff, or at least they originally were, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:53 they were charged over $30,000, right? The commissioners said, we're told the people we're not going to pay it and they've negotiated, which means they said we're not going to pay the $30,000. We're not going to pay the $32,000. If you want some money, figure out what we're going to pay. to pay you, but we're not going to pay you the 32,000. So they've negotiated the bill down, and they're still winding because they've got to figure out where they're going to store it.
Starting point is 00:31:18 I mean, I'm guessing, this is just a thought. I'm guessing that somewhere there's a county building in Guntersville, Alabama, that can house some toilet paper and some trash bags. Just a guessing. I'm guessing there's a school that's been closed for a while. in Guntersville, Alabama, in the county, in the county, not only the city, but the county, that could house some toilet paper and trash bags. I'm guessing that someone, one of the commissioners in Guntersville, Alabama, has a barn
Starting point is 00:31:57 that could house some toilet paper and some trash bags for a little while. I'm guessing that's the case. but let's see you and me we maybe could say hey that was a mistake can you take it back and give us credit maybe
Starting point is 00:32:15 surprised they didn't do that but if we were to say if I were to order let's say $22,000 worth of toilet paper and then say you know I'm not going to pay you I'll pay you know what I'll pay you 10,000
Starting point is 00:32:36 that's all you're getting from me. I'm going to keep all the toilet paper, but I'm not going to pay the full amount. I'll probably be in jail. Jeffrey, you're at 32 minutes, and you've only covered three stories. Oh, I have not covered three stories. That's all you have covered.
Starting point is 00:33:01 That's it. 32 minutes on the mark. We did the thing. I mean, baby got back. That's another. That's the hashtag, too, son. Yes, that's the hashtag. Baby's cold outside.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Yeah. Okay. Then we did Dana Lash. Yeah. Okay. And then the story that you just finished before you went to a little music. That's it. What was?
Starting point is 00:33:24 That's it. I did Starbucks? Okay. That's, does it? The porn. Yeah. That's it. Three.
Starting point is 00:33:29 No, there was more in there. No. What about the... Just continue. Go. You look at a fat pile. Police officer. I can't do this story.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I can't do the story. I can't. Are you kidding me? The police officer rescues chicken from fire? Why are we paying police officers to rescue chickens? This is embarrassing. I don't know why we're spending so much money on the damn police department? It's because they're rescuing chickens.
Starting point is 00:34:06 A police officer who saved a chicken from becoming a roaster is taking a ribbon from his fellow's office. Good! He should! My chicken's in there. That's a bummer. So body cam video released. by the Ossining New York police shows the officer responding to a shed fire.
Starting point is 00:34:29 So it wasn't a house. It was a shed fire. He removes some propane tanks. So the shed is on fire. The police goes in to remove propane tanks, which was as dangerous as it is. He should be careful doing that. I mean, God bless his heart for that.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Because that's easy for those things to explode. So he goes to save the propane tanks out of the, way so they don't explode. He hears, here's a bird clock, picks up the chicken, and brings it out and tells the owner, I got your chicken. So it's a little bit different than going in and just rescuing a chicken. He didn't pull up and someone said, is everybody safe? My chicken's inside.
Starting point is 00:35:14 If that's ever said to a police officer, and the police officer says, all right, I'll go get it. Fire that police officer immediately. Fire him. I mean, I question it with any kind of animal. And I don't want to hear, oh, the dog people are going to hate me and the cat people are going to hate me. I know.
Starting point is 00:35:35 I know. I know. The bird people, the chickens, the parrots, the everything else, the house is on fire. The animals, we got everybody out. But there's still Lily the cat. if Lily the cat can't get out on her own we'll say a prayer for Lily the cat and we'll bury whatever if we find the remains
Starting point is 00:36:01 now I know I'm going to hear I know I'm going to hear from you I know you love your cats I know you love your dogs I know you love your birds I got it I do I do I do but we should not be risking police officers lives to save your chicken I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Now, if the fire continues to burn and the chicken is still in there, I'm okay with maybe the police officer going in and getting it before it gets burned so we can eat it. Why doesn't this happen to me? Here's two stories, and why doesn't this happen to me? All right, over the holiday, over the Thanksgiving holiday, an ATM in Houston, I saw the video of this, amazing, the ATM in Houston, dispensing $100 bills. instead of tens on a glitch from the ATM. Okay, so they find out, in today's world, you know, something like that happens, it's all over social media, so people are showing up.
Starting point is 00:37:01 I mean, they were blocking it off, right? I mean, there were people showing up to take their hundreds, and there were people around it going, no, those are my hundreds. Right? I mean, it was amazing. Now, so the bank correctly, the bank says the vendor, incorrectly loaded $100 bills in place of the tens. Now, you'd think in today's world, they would say,
Starting point is 00:37:27 we want our money back. And we know who you are, right? Because use your card. And by the end, right, by the end with the people standing around, they take your card, we'll take you up there. We'll let you go up and plug in your number, right? Plug in your number. and because the tens were hundreds,
Starting point is 00:37:49 it probably only does increments of 20, right? So you take 20 out and you get 200. You either give me 100 for walking you up here or you ain't getting up here, right? That's the ATM guard right there. The ATM mafia at Bank of America. But Bank of America said customers will be able to keep the extra dispense money.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Wow Wow That is Very, very nice of them I mean that That doesn't happen in today's world I'm surprised I think we're going to find out that the $100 bills were for
Starting point is 00:38:30 We're illegal money I think we are That's what you're going to find out You ever have to spend I worked for a guy That when I was working One store I worked at in Florida, somebody came in and bought groceries and gave us an illegal $100 bill. So we have a counterfeit $100 bill at the store.
Starting point is 00:39:03 And so the manager says to me, Jeff, come here. It gives me the counterfeit $100 bill. And he says, go buy some lunch. And I was like, uh, Okay. Thank you. Why? And so he took me back in his office and he goes, look, this is counterfeit money.
Starting point is 00:39:27 If I turn it into the bank, the bank takes it and the store is out $100 bucks. If you go get lunch, pay with the $100 bill. Bring the change back. The store will just be short whatever your lunch was. but we'll be up $80 or $90 instead of losing the 100 will only have lost the 10 or whatever your lunch is. Now, I'm guessing that somewhere along the line that's illegal. However, lunch was pretty good.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Another story of why this never happens to me. A North Carolina woman gets wrong lottery ticket wins almost $300,000. Now, you ever go into where you buy your lottery tickets, your lottery tickets, and a couple things happen. You say, hey, I'll take a powerball for, you know, Saturday night. And they give you, they print out the powerball, and you realize that they didn't give you the power play. So with power ball, it's two bucks for just the power ball, and it's $3 for the power play. And the power play always means you get more money or whatever, so you play the power play. and you go, oh, I wanted the power play.
Starting point is 00:40:46 And they go to take the ticket back. No thanks. I'll keep that ticket, too. Go ahead, get me another one with the power play. So if they give you a wrong ticket, a wrong printed ticket, or wrong, they say, oh, I printed out a mega. And you wanted a power play. I'll take that too. Right?
Starting point is 00:41:04 I can't help myself. I mean, I just can't help myself. You have to say yes. I've got a guy now that I were in a story that I regularly go to. So I go in and I you know That's where I get gas And he's always hey morning how you do I mean we don't know each other But we know each other through convenience store knowing each other
Starting point is 00:41:21 And that's where I you know I buy a lot of ticket from there And he always has a couple that have printed out wrong I think they do it on purpose actually I think the guy comes in in the morning and just prints out a few extra tickets And then puts them up on the screen so he gets people to spend some extra money at his stupid store And it works Because he I said I'll take a power play for Saturday.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Because I got a, I got a, I got a wrong mega up here. You're going to have this? You're going to take this? Well, of course I'm going to take it. Now that you brought it to my attention. I won't be able to live with myself. I can barely live with myself driving by a bag on the side of the road without stopping to look what's in it.
Starting point is 00:42:00 You're going to tell me, you've got a ticket up there that nobody wanted. And I've got it here for you. Could be a winner. Yeah, it could be. Now, it hasn't been for me. So this lady goes in. ask for a scratch off. They give her the wrong scratch off, but she's, you know, duh, doesn't pay attention
Starting point is 00:42:18 and starts scratching it off. And then realizes it's the wrong scratch off. But she realizes, oh, she thinks she want to want some money. So she keeps going. Seven, seven, seven, seven, seven. 277 grand. That's sweet. That's a sweet wrong ticket right there.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Right? I mean, it's a North Carolina. So she takes home $195,000. That's not that sweet. I'm sorry. 277,000. That's nice. $195,000?
Starting point is 00:42:58 That's not so nice. Now, obviously, we all take it. And we complain all the way to our bank. Right? The government took $80,000 for me. Criminals, the government criminals. I shouldn't even have taken the whole thing. But you do.
Starting point is 00:43:19 And you move on, you just complained. That's where we're at now in America. Nothing happens, but we just complain about it. Sad. Sad. It's sad that I can be upset and you can be upset for winning $277,000 and only taking home $195,000 of that and just saying, oh, I know, but it's has taxes.
Starting point is 00:43:48 And hey, I got $195,000 out of it. So since Glenn is in Tampa tonight, if you're listening to this podcast, it's Friday, November 30th, the last day of November, by the way. Wow. Chris Cruz's birthday tomorrow? Are you celebrating? Having the big birthday bash? Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:45:06 want to believe you, but I don't. I really want to believe you because that is something that you actually will do like, oh yeah, it's Christmas's birthday, but I just don't believe you. Why? Why would you believe me? It's you, Jeffrey. We have this relationship between you and me that is like, I like to call it something, you know, I call it the batter wife syndrome. That's what I call it right there. And you abuse me so much. But sometimes I'm like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:45:35 He loves me. I know deep dying, say he loves me. He only does this because he loves me. He likes me. And you do. You give me that little touch. And I'm like, okay. But see, right now I'm like, is he pulling with my feelings?
Starting point is 00:45:47 Is he, what is he doing? Oh, of course not, baby. See, that's what you have to do. And I'm fine with it now. I'm fine. Chris, I told you, already. I'm hurt that you think I would lie to you about that. I remember that it was your birthday and I went out and I said, we've got to get something special for Chris. I meant to give it
Starting point is 00:46:06 to you earlier, but it's been busy so far today. And now, I mean, I'll go get it right now. You know what? Just hold on. I go get it. I cannot believe my wife did not put it in my briefcase. I cannot believe my, I cannot believe my wife. It's not here. So Monday? So Monday. Monday? Okay. Monday.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Okay. But I'm so sorry. Gosh darn it, maybe I'll find a way to see you tomorrow, but I don't know where you're going to be. Is it next to the phone? I don't know where you're going to be. The phone holder,
Starting point is 00:46:51 you know, the tripod that you look at every morning and you're supposed to bring, it's right next to that one. Right there. Okay. I just want to make sure that because, you know,
Starting point is 00:46:58 you're supposed to bring a tripod for your phone every day, but you always said that you, every time you go out the door, you look at it, and it's right there. Sitting right there on the table. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Yeah. And that's where your gift is, right there on the table. And I thought that she had put it in and she did. I left early. It was dark. I didn't see. Next thing you know. So anyway, Glenn Beck is in Tampa tonight, doing his addicted outrage tour tonight in Orlando tomorrow in Orlando.
Starting point is 00:47:36 And this story is from Tampa, Florida. A former Tampa police officer accused of sexual. battery against a woman he pulled over. All right. He's had everything taken from him. They've taken kids college. They've wiped him out. All right.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Wiped him out. He had a stellar, unblemished 20-year career as a law enforcement officer. It all came crashing down two and a half years ago when a woman he pulled over on a traffic stop accused him of sexual battery. He denied it.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Tough. They arrested and charged him. Then they fired him. All of it. Everything gone. Now, two and a half years later, his defense attorney, has found that the accuser once boasted about flirting her way out of a ticket.
Starting point is 00:48:50 According to records, she told detectives, I would, I'll flash you if you asked me to flash you. Like flashing is no big deal. The case went on and realized that she had a text message, her child's father, that she was planning on getting millions from. this cop case. He was originally, they thought they had DNA from this police officer called touch DNA on her panties. All right.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Now, the touch DNA would have come from when he touched the license. Okay? That's how little DNA, it's just, your touch DNA when you touch that license. and he gave it back to her. Did she rub it on her underwear? I don't know. I'm guessing so. So with evidence casting more than a reasonable doubt that he had not acted inappropriately,
Starting point is 00:50:11 the charges against him are now dropped. Now, the Tampa Police Department, police chief Brian Dugan, I do not know who that is. It's been a while since I've lived in Tampa. a statement saying in part, he was fired for not maintaining the expected standard of conduct and for untruthfulness. We stand by our decision. What part of I didn't do it is untruthful. I love the statement from the police department.
Starting point is 00:50:55 The state's attorney office notified the Tampa Police Department, and they put this in their release has notified us the charges against former Tampa Police Officer Adam York have been dropped. The decision by the state attorney has no bearing on our decision. His status with our department has not changed.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Tampa police investigated the allegation thoroughly and with a sense of urgency. We consulted Tampa officer might be involved. We pulled him off the street in order to protect the public. His response was contradicted by the evidence and he was fired for not maintaining the expected standard of conduct and for untruthfulness. We stand by our decision. I hope the comments made by Adam York's attorney today don't have, this is the Tampa Police Department. I hope that the comments made by
Starting point is 00:51:50 Adam York's attorney today won't have a chilling effect on victims of sexual assault and cause them to be reluctant to come forward. No, but your action. actions have, how about you hope that the actions of a false accuser does well to prove that when you accuse someone, we look into it, we take all the evidence, and we will prosecute and if need be. But you don't just get to accuse someone, and that's the end of their life. I'd like to hear that from Tampa, but apparently not. So another case of the accused taking the fall Without being any guilt at all
Starting point is 00:52:50 You get accused, you go down Welcome to the Me Too movement Have a great weekend All right, take care of yourself, thank you so much Don't forget to subscribe, rate, review at Jeff EMRA, Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and Instagram. I've got a Saturday show for you and be ready for that. You can listen to. I'm just going to talk about, for years I've wanted to be the Postmaster General.
Starting point is 00:53:17 I think I've found a new gig at the Post Office that I want more than the Postmaster generalship, but I can get more done and we can fix this post office problem with me being on that job rather than the Postmaster General. You know, there's no chance of me ever becoming Postmaster General or the new job that I want. But I would love it.
