job. Thank you so much. That's all you need to do. I appreciate it. Okay, so we've got a lot of weird stories today. But one I want to start off with is we need to update the story we did yesterday about the family of an elderly woman who accused American

Airlines of leaving her stranded in the airport overnight in her wheelchair. Remember, and we talked about how the porter left her, because that was his end of workday. It's over. And she has Parkinson's and diabetes and she has trouble walking. And she, they just dropped her off. Her flight was canceled. The relative dropped her off.

Everything was fine. And the flight was canceled when everybody left. And they pushed her downstairs. and they gave her a hotel room and they gave her food, but they weren't going to give her transportation to the hotel. And there she sat in her wheelchair all alone for hours and hours and hours in the airport because the porter pushed her down to the doors and said, hey, I don't know what more I can do for you.

My shift is over. We're done. And he left her there. And they complained. They posted on social media. It went viral. It went crazy. They started complaining about American Airlines.

The family said, hey, I just would like someone to care. We just want someone to care and pay attention. It's important. That's all. We just want someone to pause and say, you know what? Can we just make sure this human being is safe? And then we can all go home. Not one person did that is the quote from the family.

Well, and then they posted a person. picture of the woman sitting at the airport all alone in her wheelchair. Yeah. Well, American Airlines paid for the ticket, apologized, refunded her trip after hearing of their troubles, and they said, you know, they apologize that we're going to look into it. We know that the porters don't work for American Airlines, but we'll definitely look into it and see what happened. Yeah.

Nothing like the family. portrayed. That's what happened. They looked into it. They looked into what had happened. American Airlines noted that Warsaw's flight was canceled at 11.20 p.m. The airline issued passengers' vouchers and hotels and meals at 1136

p.m. Then the airline added that the porter retrieved Warsaw. I remember that god-awful porter that just wheeled her down and forgot her and just let her sit there because his shift was over. Yeah, him or her. The porter retrieved Warsaw from the gate. Phoneed relatives.

Let them know that, hey, her flight was canceled. You have to come back and pick her up because she doesn't have any way to get transportation to the hotel or the food. or the food. The attendant then drops Warsaw off at one of the upper levels of the airport, not downstairs, not by the exit doors, sitting in her wheelchair all along. This is all on their little CCTV footage.

Then, during the time that she was waiting for her relatives to come pick her up, which, by the way, was, she was, she was. was dropped off in the terminal at 1230. The family member arrived at the airport to pick her up 43 minutes later at 1.13 a.m. During that time, between the time the porter dropped her off and left her up on the upper level, waiting for relatives to come pick her up, she, this woman who struggled with Parkinson's and just dead diabetes and had to be stuck in her. her wheelchair for hours.

Got up, took her walker, went outside, smoked a cigarette a couple times, hobbled back into her wheelchair, waiting for the relatives to show up. So what the family portrayed happened didn't happen at all. In fact, what the family said they wished would happen,

happened. Absolutely agonizing. American Airlines should take their money back. Those people should be paying for the ticket. They should be paying for something. And next time that family wants to fly somewhere, American Airlines should charge them 10 times the ticket price. And make them carry their own damn luggage to the bottom of the airplane.

I mean, that is ridiculous. These airlines take enough beating as it is. Airports and airlines, which is what I was talking about yesterday. It seems we're either beating up on the airlines, we're beating up on the airports, up on TSA. Everybody doesn't want to be responsible for the other and everybody still wants a working process. And to think about it with all the working parts of airports and flights around this country, things are pretty smooth. When you really think about it, things are pretty

smooth. I know, you know, there are when it's a domino effect with weather delays that shuts everything down and makes it hard to travel sometimes. But overall, day to day, our travel process with the airlines is pretty good. And so when we hear all these stories on the plane, off the plane, in the airport, outside of the airport, and we get, we get angry with them, well, I mean, it's deservedly so usually. Now we get this story and we're so easy, I'm as guilty as anyone, to jump in and beat up the airlines, American Airlines, and beat up the airports for not taking care of this one poor old lady because that's who they are.

They're heartless bastards, except... They're not Harplets bastards. They actually helped the lady. They actually called the relatives. They actually wield her to an upper level where she could relax and probably close to, I don't know, the smoking area. So she could hobble her old diabetic. I can't take it. I can't.

I hope that they get called out for this. I hope that at least American Airlines says, Yeah, you know, we said we were going to pay for your ticket, but we lied just like you. Do Americans marry for love or money? What do you think? A new study by Merrill Edge looks at our relationship with finance and romance. And does size matter? Well, the size of your partner's bank account, that is.

Does it matter? People are more realistic than romantic by the time they wed. Abby Rodman, the psychotherapist in Boston, told Marketwatch, we're living in a time when people are waiting longer to get married. Today, both genders are closing in on 30 by the time they tie the knot. And by the way, I just like to say, Abby is only talking about male and female. I think I don't know that I can continue with this story anymore. both genders. I mean, there are a lot more than both genders. She should be more inclusive than that.

Both genders are closing in on 30 by the time they tie the knot. If they've already experienced a long-term head over heels relationship before marriage, they've also learned that those crazy and love feelings do subside over time. I like to say it's somber maturity. That's sad. That's sad that a lot of relationships subside over time. It really is. It shouldn't be that way. You should work to not make it that way. I'm your relationship expert right here.

Jeff Fisher. Chewing the fat. Your relationship expert. How am I an expert? Well, I've been in many relationships. I can help you through that. I can walk you through the help. Just call.

I'll help. Research supports your theory. Some 56% of Americans say they want a partner who provides financial security more than head over heels love. 44% want that head over heels love. A sentiment is held in most equal measure by both men and women. Okay? That is held both. Well, men 54%, women 57%, say they want financial security more than head over heels love.

Generation Z, which is between 1996 and 2010, is the only cohort to choose love over money. And I believe that was probably a lie. Merrill Edge pulled more than 1,000 people aged 18 to 40 with investable assets between $20,000 and $250,000. Now, that's excluding primary home and other real estate investments. So it could be even more money. And even though they want partners with certain socio-economic status, they remained coy about their own finances. They rank nearly all major relationship milestones,

including meeting their in-laws, being intimate, traveling together and discussing politics ahead of discussing finances. Wow. They postponed the money talk with their significant other. especially when the topic is debt. They want to talk about salary. They want to talk about investments. They want to talk about spending habits.

Nobody wants to talk about debt. Although it depends on whether it's wedding number one, two, or three. Divorce, protect yourself, your kids, and your future. I still think people marry more for romance than finance, says in Atlanta, Georgia attorney, family law attorney. However, for a second. or third marriage, people may be looking for financial security after their divorce left them with a sense of severe financial insecurity. Boy, do I know the feeling for that. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis said, or is reported to say. Now, the first time you marry for love,

the second for money, and the third for companionship. Man, did I get that order wrong? And did I get that order wrong? A recent analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data by the Pew Research Center found that adults 25 or older, 65% with a four-year college degree were married compared with 55% of those with some college education, and 50% among those education beyond high school. So 25 years ago, the marriage rate was above 60% for all of those groups. financial security was a big factor in choosing to get married at all. Never married adults with family incomes under 75,000 are more likely than those with higher incomes to say that not being financially secure is a major reason that they're not married.

I find this fascinating too that the singles also look for signs that their potential partner has money. iPhone owners Are 20 iPhone owners are 21 more times Likely more times 21 times more likely To judge others negatively For having a less expensive

Android Well A My Android that I have you bastard iPhone owners The Android I have is As expensive or more than your iPhone. Okay. But that's this not part of the story. Sorry. So iPhone owners are 21 times more likely to judge others negatively for having a less expensive Android. And while those who have an Android are only 15 times more likely to judge

others negatively for having an iPhone. So the Android people are so much better is what that says to me. Those who have older bottles of either smartphone are 56% less likely to get a date. If you got an old phone, you're not getting to date. Sorry. You're out. I don't know what to do. That's really funny. Different sexes want different things, especially if they're financially secure.

Men want higher incomes with men with higher incomes. This is going to make you mad now. Okay, but I want you to relax. Take a breath. All right. Men with higher incomes showed strong. stronger preferences for women with slender bodies, those bastards. Those bastards.

While women with higher incomes preferred men with a steady income. It's just in it for the money. Wow. Now, really, wealthier couples don't last longer than those who earn less. And get this, the more you spend on a wedding ceremony, the shorter the marriage. According to a survey, 3,000 couples in 2014 by the Department of Economics at Emory University in Atlanta.

And I get their weekly mailer, the Department of Economics at Emory University in Atlanta. Couples who spend 20,000 on their wedding are 46% more likely than average to get divorce. The risk falls to 29% of 15, no, a 17% drop. higher than average for those who spend $10,000 to $20,000. If you spend more than $20,000, it's almost a 50% shot that you're getting divorced. That's amazing. And all of that, having been said,

what does it mean? Money matters and matrimony as much as love. It's pretty even. Marrying for love is the only good reason. The only good reason to marry. Abby Rodman, the psychotherapist and Boston. The beauty is most of us have the freedom to do that, marry for love. And if we're lucky enough, we get to exercise it.

Because when life gets tough, it always does. It's the love that will sustain you, not the cash. I would disagree with that. And also, Abby said, and if you're marrying for money, you know what they say. you earn every cent Yeah Yeah We're gonna go ahead

I got a lot of money And I'm gonna marry you But I mean there's still housework to be done Oh they're not doing health work No They're not cleaning the microwave Maybe they should

Because we found out We found out today that You should be cleaning your microwave Remember we talked about the icky Touch screens I can't get those out of my mind I mean, I went into a grocery store And you see you just even you know

You put your card in that you have to put your chip in now Have they built a machine that you can slide your card But if you have a chip you can't slide it Are we living in? What are we living in the caveman days? Why can't I choose? I should be able to choose slide or chip But no, I have to chip

Okay, fine But they still all have the little touch screen that I have to touch And now it just bugs me Just kind of bugs me So if you're looking to use the microwave at home and especially at the office, you probably want to clean that bad boy. A study conducted by Kimberly Clark Professional found that microwave handles are among the dirtiest surfaces to be touched on a daily basis by people in an office setting.

According to a press release, hygienist from Kimberly Clark collected nearly 5,000. individual swabs from office buildings, housings, more than 3,000 employees. All sorts of office types represented in law firms, insurance companies, call centers. The results showed that 48% of the people in those buildings should be dead because of the goo on the microwave handle. No, that's not what it showed, but it's possible that it could have. It showed that 48% of the microwave door handles were found to have high levels of contamination. with this andocene triphosphate ATP.

And that count was 300 or higher. And you know as well as I do. I mean, I'm not talking down to you when I can tell you that when ATP is detected, it indicates the presence of contamination by plenty of concerning sources, especially when it's got a reading of 300 or higher. You know that as much as I do. And it's considered a high risk for illness transmission. microwave doors, highest percentage of contamination levels, just behind, sink faucet handles.

That's why I like the motion sensor sinks. And you want the motion sensor paper towel dispenser. Don't use the blowers. Remember the blower blows goo all over the place. So you get the motion sensor water, the faucet, right? you get the motion sensor soap the soap dispensers and you get the motion sensor paper towel

so you tear up the paper towel and you're using that and not blowing it all over the place so wash your hands, clean out the microwave, sanitize that microwave handle I mean you might not get sick I mean I don't know what to do anymore

I guess it you just have somebody follow you around this is what you need your robot for follow you around with hand sanitizer So every time you touch anything at all Here's your hand sanitizer, sir Jeffie, hand sanitizer Jeffie, hand sanitizer

Yeah, that'd get old real quick Real quick Hey, let's go to the break room Ooh, it doesn't look like anybody's clean that microwave Oh, I don't even want to touch the I don't even want to touch the water dispenser Get me a glass of water Ooh, I got to have a drink, though.

All right, so the house built by Frank Sinatra. His custom-designed Malibu Beach House is now for sale. Now, it started its sales journey this summer as a rental, asking $110,000 a month. It's the home that Frank and his wife Barbara designed for themselves. came to the market. The Sinatra's bought the property in the early 90s for $3 million, only to tear down the existing house and build the one you see.

It was completed in 1992, six years before Sinatra's death at the age of 82. And Barbara died last year at the age of 90. It has seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, over 5,800 square feet with 40 feet of prime beachfront land. It was designed for entertaining. Look, the Sinatra's frequent guests were Jack Lemmon, Gregory Peck,

you know, the A-listers, of course, in their day. I mean, Sinatra once proclaimed that orange was the happiest color, so it's not much of a surprise that a version of the hue shows up throughout the house. I hope they are able to sell it. It's on the market right now for $12.9 million. I hope that the family is using Mercury Real Estate Services. All they had to do was go to Mercury Real Estate Services, Real Estate Agents I Trust.com,

Did you know that NASA now admits that aliens may have already visited the earth? they say UFO sightings cannot be explained or denied some of them and that look the space expert noted that not all UFO sightings can be explained and they've long been investing in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence

and recently the publisher on SETI, Professor Silvano P. Calabano suggested that alien life may have already visit us. I would say that the professor Silvano P. Calabano has never visited at Walmart

because I know for a fact. I know for a fact that I've seen some aliens into Walmarts. In fact, I mean, there are been times I've run into Walmart and I'm sure people went,

ooh, is that guy from this world? But I know I've seen some aliens. I know it. It does not surprise me at all. You know Lord and Taylor, the store in New York? I've had this story in the fat pile for a while, for this week and the end of last week. And it's really, it really kind of irks me a little. But they're prepared to close up.

And I know it's a store. And I know, I got it. It's a big deal. It's a store. And they're closing. But it's Lord and Taylor. Fifth Avenue. I mean, Lord and Taylor Fifth Avenue, the windows of Lord and Taylor, they're known.

for their window designs. People have made names for themselves in the artistic and design world by designing windows at Lord and Taylor's. And they've got the building and they're trying to, you know, there's, it's just the place to go. It's the flagship store.

And it's, they're in the middle of a blowout sale, baby. Getting ready to close. About 40 Lord and Taylor branches are going to continue on. But the New York, Fifth Avenue, Lord and Taylor, the classic, the mothership of Lord and Taylor. They're shutting down.

Amazing. Closing it down. Look, I know. I got, I know. And part of the problem, maybe even just as I was reading the story and I'm thinking, well, that may have been part of the problem. They talked to one of Lord and Taylor shopper. They name her Karen Nelson. She said she had lots of fond memories, including having makeup.

applied to her teenage face amid the ground floor perfumes. Yeah, that's when they were doing that stuff for free. You weren't spending any money? Maybe that was the problem. She also remembered most with the magical windows at Christmas. Now, that's for sure. Everybody loved that, and it was, you know, tremendous. But the one thing that those windows did was cost money.

You know, they were hoping to get sales, obviously, from those windows. But when you have people standing out front going, oh, that's beautiful. head down the street, you're not making anything in Lord and Taylor's. And then she said, and we patiently waited in line for our turn to see them more closely. I got lines in the streets

in front of Lord and Taylor for the Christmas windows. I know. It's amazing. If you've never seen it, I would say, you know, take the opportunity the next time you're in New York.

But if you're not going to be in New York for the next, within the next couple weeks, you're out of luck. Look at some pictures. Good for you. Now, according to insiders, the company is increasing focus on its digital opportunity and commitment to improving profitability, which means that building is suck on them dry. Fifth Avenue in New York, that was Lord and Taylor's money going out the window or going to Mayor de Blasio and his taxes.

So with several investors and we work are taking over the building, $850 million deal. We work moving into Lord and Taylor's. I love that. And, you know, I just, it's kind of a little heartbreaking for me. I don't know why it just is. Do I care about Lord and Taylor? I mean, did I shop there? Oh, me and Lord and Taylor are, I mean, close.

You could say that. I mean, you can say that. Listen, when you think of me and clothes and fashion and makeup, you think of, you know, them, the Lord and Taylor. We told you last week about the Marriott being hacked for 500 million guests, and we still don't know exactly, you know, who got hacked for what? Quora just announced today, data breach

100 million users I think it's time that we just all realize that you either have life lock this is not kind of commercial but we either have lifelock or hackers have got your information I think I'm torn between that now you either have life lock or hackers have your information

now you can have life lock and hackers can still have your information But that's what LifeLock says they'll do for you is block them trying to hack into your stuff, right? That's their deal. Why are they not an advertiser on this program? Oh, no answer. You're just going to sit in there and look at me?

Okay, fine. No, we're done. Since we're walking back to work from the break room, did you know that George, H.W. Bush is dead? It's like continuing coverage for this guy. I can't. I can't stop. It's driving me insane.

I got it. He was the president of the United States. He was a good man. He was a father to a president. He was a father to a governor. He's got a big family. He loved his wife that he was married to stuck with for 73 years. He was a military guy, the United Nations, CIA, vice president, president.

He cared about America, loved America. I love it. Good. Stop. Stop. Just let it happen. Just let it happen. happen. Let it happen. You know, if this would not have happened, we would not be able to see Bob Dole trying

to get up his chair. If you missed the footage today. And I tweeted it out. A Bob Dole paying his respects to George W. Bush. Yeah, that's the word I was going to use. Fantastic. It's fantastic. That's what I said. That's what I said. I was going to say. Okay. Okay. Fantastic. It's fantastic. He's Bob Dull stood up. Did he stop? Stop. You're the one telling me to say. stop. You're the one telling me to stop and then you want to go down this road. You say stop, that it happened. And then you bring up Bob Dole. If you bring up that damn dog

I'm going to go through the roof. So Bob stands up. Look. Which one do you want to cover first? Will it cover Sally or you want to cover Bob Dole? I don't want to cover Sally because if I'll... Sully did a good job. Sally kept the president, you know, safe and helped him as a support animal and saw him

to his death. So good job. up sally good dog that is not what i was going to say but i'll go ahead let let that lie yeah good dog good dog all right bob dole good dog and by the way i tweeted the video so you might want to just retweet me so because it's it's powerful video it's a very powerful video so bob doll stands up attempts to stand up there we got as best he can as best he can in a wheelchair he's like 95 95 years old and after that performance of respect for for President Bush, former President Bush,

lying in state in the rotunda, I would say that the odds are pretty good. He's the next one to go. Jeffie. That's the bet. The line went pretty strong. So now we went from paying our respect to a fallen, you know, president to creating a deadpool.

Is that what you did? Now we have a deadpour. If somebody gives him that dog to look after him, he's for sure gone. Oh, did I go back to Selly again? Okay, we're done. I'm done. Okay.

So one of my favorite things in life is when people, and I don't know why this is, when people pretend to be other things, especially doctors. And we've talked about this before. You know, if I pretend to be a doctor and I care, good for me, right? It's a free clinic. If I work at a free clinic, I'm making a couple of bucks. I don't want to sell slurpees in the day. I want to at least try to care for people.

But the only way I could do that is to pretend I'm a doctor. As long as you're being full disclosure, hey, I'm not a real doctor. I'm just pretending. I'm okay with it. You know what? I think that's a good distinction. Yes.

Because this guy, we have a new fake doctor in our midst. Wait, Dr. Phil quit? No, Dr. Phil's still good. Oh, okay. He's not even a real. Well, we did find out he is a real doctor. doctor of dirt or something from Texas A&M someplace. I don't remember what it was.

He has a real doctor though. A Glenn Allen. Practicing doctor, by the way. You're going to get that right. Yes, that's right. Not a practicing doctor. Well, apparently this guy should not have been a practicing doctor either, right? Because he's working at a free clinic in Virginia.

A Glenn Allen man pleaded guilty to posing as a doctor at a free clinic in, he said, yeah, I'm guilty. I posed at him. he saw about two dozen patients, which really seems like not that much. We had a couple dozen patients at a clinic, free clinic seems like not that much. But the hoops that he went through to get the documentation

to pretend that he was a doctor was, I don't know, that's pretty hard work. So, according to the allegations in the indictment, Vishal J. Patel. Whoa, Patel? I know. I was thinking the same thing. Can we call Rias Patel and ask

I don't know if it's a family member I'm a brother or something Because Rias Patel now he's in D.C. This guy's in Virginia. So... The picture they used does not... I mean, it could be related. Okay.

But that's not Riaz or is it. He used personal identifying information of licensed physicians to pose as a doctor in an online employment applications to medical staffing companies. So he falsely claimed in such applications to be licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth of Virginia. And to support this claim, he created and submitted false diplomas, certificates concerning his education, training, certifications, licenses in which he included registration and licensing numbers belonging to various licensed physicians.

He posed as the physicians when contacting various oversight entities, including the DEA, he directed those entities to alter the physician's licensing records so that they appeared to be associated with Patel. He then directed these entities to mail him copies. Oh, you know what? Just send them to me. Just send me the copies. He altered records.

And so that he had those in his hand to prove that they were him. He fraudulently induced various medical staffing companies to employ him. So he went to these, I'm a doc. I'll go wherever. So he obtained employment through at least one company at a free clinic in Newport News, where he saw two dozen patients before he was terminated due to the clinic's inability to verify his credentials. That's why he was cut loose early. That's why it was only two dozen patients because he was, he just started, okay, get to work, go ahead.

But if we can't verify your stuff, you're out. And they couldn't verify it so he's out. Now he has now since pleaded guilty to furnishing false. information in a DEA record, aggravated and aggravated identity theft. Is that like a hate crime? Yeah, I murdered him, but was it a hate crime? Yeah, I pretended to be him, but was it a hate crime? It's like a hate crime of identity theft.

He faces a maximum penalty of four years, along with a mandatory consecutive term of two years in prison, When sentenced on, he's going to be sentenced in March of next year. That seems like a long time for, I'm just pretending to be a doctor. Pretended to be a doctor. At a free clinic, no less. I mean, he's trying to help people. He's trying to be nice, that's all.

And is he alive or dead? Is he real or is he Memorex? Is he a robot or is he a human? Nigeria's president, uh, Muhammad, Buhari. Boo ha. How do we say his name? You had it.

Go ahead and say this name. You have it. Go for it. What is it? Nailed it. I know audience, this is a point where I'm supposed to play an audio of the president's name, but I forgot. So I apologize for that and to the audience. I don't know.

It could just edit it out. You could play the... Oh, who, Jeff. As you can tell, I'm so busy right now, taking notes, making sure, you know, Blaze Podcast Network is up and running. Would you like me to try to get the audio? I don't want you to go out of your way now. I know you're busy with the network and other podcasters. So don't, don't you dare.

Don't you dare. I will burn this podcast into sin. before I air that computer saying Muhammadu Buhari. It's a Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, Muham, Muhammad, has denied claims that he died and was replaced by a Sudanese imposter. All right, this is the president of Nigeria.

Now, he breaks his silence because it's been circulated for months. He's running for reelection in February, but he spent five months in February. months in Britain last year being treated for an undisclosed illness. Now, one theory that aired on social media and by some political opponents was that he had been replaced by a lookalike from Sudan called Gibral. Now, but there's no evidence that has been presented that, you know, their videos making the claim that, Nigeria's president Mu

Muhammadu I should burn this podcast into the ground seriously I Hugh seriously I should burn this thing into the ground

Now he told Nigerians in a town hall session in Poland on Sunday He's not even back in Nigeria He was attending a conference A lot of people hope

that I died during my ill health Some even reached out to the vice president to consider them to be his deputy because they assumed I was dead. That embarrassed him a lot. And of course he visited me when I was in London convalescing, adding that those who spread the rumor were ignorant and irreligious. Were they? If you were an imposter, that's exactly what you would say. Now, he emailed a statement entitled, It's the real me.

President Buhari responds to cloning allegations. Now, he has a pinned tweet on his Twitter account. He has 1.7 million people, 1.76 million people following him on Twitter. And it's his top tweet. Let's hear what, uh, moo, let's hear what, Mu, I like the way I said it better. I had to say on his pin tweet. One important question.

I seem to forget about it because the authors of that of course you must be ignorant and irreligious. So far as the source that I have grown. No wonder I forgot it until I was reminding. Yes, I, a lot of people who hoped that I was dead. Right. And hoped I died. And poor vice president, ancestors,

some people have started in fact asking for or if you could consider them for me the best present because I'm not that. They must have comparison to him a lot because he used to me when I was a London Combley. But it's a real me, actually. It's a real me, actually. It's a real thing.

I was going to celebrate my 70th University And I'm still going strong. That's how many 76. 76. When I get harassed by my grandchildren, they are getting too many. Now, first of all, what you don't hear, liar! Liar a fraud!

You don't hear that. Which I wish you would, because then that person would be dead. They'd just shoot him. You'd hear, liar, fraud. Oh, now you're playing. Now you're not going to play with Muhammadamudu Barari, but now you're going to play. Okay. All right, we'll play.

We'll play. Go ahead. What you don't hear, and if you did hear it, they'd probably just be killed on the spot. But if you're... Liar, fraud! High 1726 years old still going strong. Ah! And they're just dragging the body out.

Nobody else is yelling fraud. after that. Liar! Fraud! Yeah, he's a real lie. He's the real one. That's him. Nobody wants to say it's a fraud. Nobody wants to call him a liar. 76 is still going strong. Yay! President Buhari. I mean, everything that happened is just perfect, right? I mean, it's perfect for it. him to be a fraud.

Don't shit to gun on me. It's perfect to be. It's just perfect. So is he real or is he a robot? Or is he like a fraud? Remember, well, Kashugi, Khashugi from Saudi Arabia, they had the fraud walking around

the streets for hours after his proposed death. Weren't his clothes. He wasn't his clothes. Yeah. I mean, we found out, they had the special deep state meeting to the Senate today. Rand Paul was a little all wound up about that too.

He was tweeting about it because he didn't get to going to the meeting. He got his feelings hurt. You talk about a deep state. Why isn't all the senators in this meeting? I'm a senator too. It's pretty much what the tweet said. I might be quoting a little bit off.

That's what I read. Can I quote you on that? Yeah, you can't because that's what I read. That's what I read. That's what I read. That's what I read. I don't know what to quote you on that. Got it.

But he, so Graham comes out of the meeting. Lindsey Graham, senator from South Carolina. He comes out of the meeting and they're interviewing him. and he's got the big line today that they're all using on the TV, that a smoking gun is a smoking saw. Who cares? How much time and money are we wasting on this? Shuggy Shuggy.

Really? I'd like to know how much time and money and energy we're wasting on because Shuggy Shuggy. Okay, see, that's what I thought you asked. I realize, look, I don't want to, don't look at me like that. Like, I know he was murdered. I know it was, you know, he's Saudi Arabia, most likely had him killed in Turkey at the embassy. I got it. You know, but sorry.

That's where I'm at. That's about as good as you're going to get for Kishiki Shiki for me. I'm sorry. Yep, that's as good as it gets. So you got them? Nice. I mentioned, I mentioned off the air. that I wanted to try to talk to Cam Edwards today

I mean 40 acres in a mule uh no 40 acres and a fool uh cam is back back up and uh it was good to see him back up on the podcast uh he had the wife were back up and I've got some questions about some of the uh some of the uh interactions uh going on on the uh on the 40 acres So, Cam, welcome to chewing the fat.

How are you, my friend? I am good, Jeff. How are you? I am so good. I have never been better. If I had 40 acres, I could be maybe a little bit better. That's it. I mean, I haven't.

There's a lot to keep up with, but it's fun. I've thought to myself over the years. I just need to do it. Just move away, move away, go back to the earth, to Mother Earth. Then I realize how much work it's going to be and decide not to. Yeah. There is that aspect of it. But you know what?

For every one of those days where I think of myself, what did I get myself into? There is another day where you're looking at the sunset or maybe it's this, you know, really foggy morning. You're out there walking the dogs. You're letting the goats out so they can roam around. And you just realize like you don't get this in the suburbs. You can't get this in the city. And it's a really, really special thing to be able to actually have that reconnection.

So I'm really, really blessed. So when last we spoke, quite a while ago now with me, your wife was struggling, and I know that you have talked a little bit about it on the podcast. Explain how she's doing and what's going on with her struggles, and actually both of your struggles. It's not just one person going through it. Yeah, absolutely. So that was one of the reasons why we actually stepped away for a little bit. We decided we were going to take the summer off. I think you and I talked right around Memorial Day, and, you know, it was between Missy's chemotherapy and me trying to, you know, do more around the house and the farm and our kids and everything.

And I think we did feel like it was a little overwhelming. So we decided, all right, we're going to, you know, take the summer off and enjoy ourselves. And we tried to do that. We actually had our first family vacation for the first time of like six years. All of the kids came home. right and it was it was great it was exactly what missy needed we got some not so great news earlier in the fall that the immunotherapy drugs so somebody seeing my wife has a lung cancer

she was diagnosed about two years ago a little bit more than two years now and there are there are some amazing new developments you know amazing treatments that are coming out on a regular basis and one of them is targeted immunotherapy and she was on this drug it's very very promising it's been showing great results for a lot of people. Unfortunately, Missy was not one of them. That's nice. So after we got the news that this drug wasn't working, she went kind of old school.

And there's an old school chemotherapy drug called Taxeteer. She's been on that for about 10 weeks now. And last week, literally just a couple of days before we started the podcast up again, we got the news that there are no new tumors and that the existing tumors in her lungs are all shrinking. So this round of chemotherapy is working. Hopefully there's going to be some targeted therapies that come along in the future that will work even better and, you know, do less damage because chemotherapy, chemotherapy basically poisons you. Yeah, I mean, that's what it does.

It kills faster. Right. That's what it does. It kills everything. It's a, it's actually. The cancer a little faster. It's actually a horrible drug, to be honest. It does what it's supposed to do.

Right. And so I'm very, very hopeful that. this is not going to have to be something that she does forever and ever, but it's working now. And, you know, we'll put up with it. Yeah, of course. That's been the fantastic news. And with that and with the, you know, the coming of winter,

it's a much calmer time on the farm. We don't have the garden to deal with. Everything sort of settled down for a few months. And it just seemed like... You've got all the canning done? You've got all the canning done. You've got the hay in the barn. We've got one more batch of hot peppers that we will ferment for our hot pepper sauce.

I'll bring you a bottle, actually, next time I see you. And yeah, all of the, everything else is settled. All of the critters are, you know, hunker down. We've got our buck in with our doze and our goats. We're going to have goat babies from spring. And we've got a very, very happy buck right now named Chico. I bet. And, yeah, it's a, it's a good, nice, quiet time on the farm right now.

So I understand that it was a little more quiet than you would have liked. I know you said everybody came home and you went on vacation with each other and you enjoyed the entire family. But usually families get together on the holidays, say like, oh, Thanksgiving. And everybody shows up for Thanksgiving and has a good time. But I understand that wasn't the case. Yeah, this was kind of a weird year. I mean, we're not quite empty nesters.

We have three kids at home. We have 13-year-old twins. We have an 18-year-old who is graduated high school, but he's living at home and he's working. We have two kids that have already kind of moved on and they've started their own lives, and they don't live in Virginia. They don't live anywhere near us. And it's weird to have that, you know, relationship where you don't get together for every holiday because that's kind of what I had growing up.

I had that big extended family get together. So our oldest kids will be home for Christmas, but, yeah, it was just five of us at the Thanksgiving table this year. And Missy does not know. I don't know if you have a relative like this, Jeff, but like she doesn't have how to cook for five people. If it's Thanksgiving, she's still cooking for 20. It doesn't matter if there are five of us there. Cam. There's still enough food for 20 people.

So we had five people at the table. We had two pies, no, excuse me, two pumpkin pies, an apple pie and a pineapple upside down cake. In addition to a big turkey, a smoked turkey breast, and then, of course, all of the side dishes. Cam, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but I have 820 pounds. I'm well aware of people that don't know how to cook for small amounts of people. I'm also aware of the human beings like myself that figure, well, it's here. I might as well just go ahead and eat it. I'm not 825 pounds, but kids are starving in Africa.

Children are starving in Africa. You clean your plate. And that is why I made sure that none of that food went to waste. And then we might have like a quarter of a casserole dish left of a sweet potato casserole. So do you have any, do you have any pigs on the farm, though? So we don't at the moment. We have sent them off to freezer camp, that's what we call it. Oh.

We had pork chops last night, so we don't have any things on the farm right now. Because they're your garbage disposal, right? I mean, they eat anything. They are. Chickens will do an adequate job. Really? Because they're omnivores as well. Yeah, they'll eat meat.

I got so freaked out. I discovered that chickens are omnivores death when I saw one of my chickens eat a frog. Wow. And I thought that something was wrong with my chickens. Yeah. You know, I had like, right? Nope. Turns out they will basically eat whatever you put in front of them.

You know, I grew up with the chickens in, I don't remember them. I don't remember any of that. I remember as a kid, you know, cutting off their heads, you know, between the milk house, between the milk house and the chicken coop. I'll never forget that, running down that little hill between the milk house and the chicken coop. But I don't remember them eating, eating any kind of. meat but that I mean that doesn't mean they didn't you well maybe you didn't hang around you know I was dinner time you were busy he didn't meet you mid-bators to do that watch the chicken that's a good

point so but let me ask you a question now now that we know that your chickens are eating frogs and stuff my understanding is that they aren't really producing as much as they should so perhaps meat is not a good thing well that's true I would say that these frogs are probably gone this time of year. But, yeah, you know, this summer, we were getting, so we have about 13 hens right now, and we were getting a dozen eggs a day. We were swimming in eggs. I'm giving them away to strangers on the street to do you like eggs here, have a dozen eggs.

And now, now that we, so the one thing was we had them just kind of free range. They were roaming around the yard. The downside of that is that, you know, predators can get them. The upside of that they got more food to eat. So we actually were really lucky. We didn't lose a single chicken to predators, but we would find them laying eggs in, like, various spots underneath the porch, you know, just in tall grass. They kind of got away from the coop. Right.

And so now that they're back in their enclosed chicken yard, they're safe, they've got a place to be for the winter, now they're not laying anything at all. We actually had to buy eggs the other day, Jeff. Like, you know what a failure you feel like? The horror. Would you have to go to the store and buy eggs? That's unacceptable. I felt bad. I felt like I really had, you know, I'm not doing something.

I'm doing something wrong here if I have to go to the store and buy my eggs. I have failed as a man. Well, and the chickens have failed as chickens. I haven't let them know that. We've had several talks. I've tried to go to the positive affirmation route of, you know, you can do this. I know you've got this in you. Literally, you've got them in you.

Just let go of the eggs to, you know, now just kind of trying to chicken shame them a little bit. It was with you. Maybe even, you know, threatening a little bit, like, boy, it's a great chicken soup weather. But, yeah, so far. Yeah, no kidding. Nothing. What you should do is maybe you waterboard one in front of the others. Yeah, I just, well, I just said, this could happen to you.

We need eggs. We need eggs now. Otherwise, it's all. I just can make an example. Right. Well, we do have, I talk about this in the new podcast, too. We have one pair. We've got a rooster and a hen that have so far managed to evade our attention.

to capture them and place them in the enclosed chicken yard. So, yeah. And we really don't need two roosters. We only need one roosters. So Bonnie and Clyde is what we're calling the pair that have gotten away. Clyde could be used as the example. Clyde could be held up upside down and turned into chicken stew in front of the others. Yes.

That's what I'm talking about. You don't produce. The rooster board that bad boy right in front of the rest of them. I love it. So it was so good to see your. podcast back up and I'm glad that things are turning around with your wife's health. I mean, that's so, that's the most important thing out of everything. And I know that, you know, people are in love with the 40 Acres stories and I certainly am. And I just wanted to say,

welcome back and it's good to have you back on the Blaze Podcast Network. Cam Edwards and 40 Acres and a Fool. Thank you so much. Hey, Jeff. Thank you, man. And it's so exciting all the stuff that's happening with the Blaze. So I had no idea that. that this was happening, but it's a good time to come back. There you go. Thank you, Cam. I appreciate it. We'll talk to you again soon. All right. Thanks, Jeff.
