It must be nice. The dog gets it all. Owner Bill Doris, successful businessman, wasn't married, died late last year. His will states the money should be put into a trust for Lulu. Yes, Lulu, the eight-year-old border collie, gets $5 million. Now, Martha Burton, Lulu's... caretaker is also part of the deal. It allows Martha to be reimbursed for reasonable monthly expenses in the care of Lulu.

He just really loved that dog. Yep. He was friends. She was friends with Mr. Doris and take the care of the dog when he traveled. She doesn't know if she's going to be able to spend $5 million. Lulu but she's going to try. Now where she's going to take care of Lulu is another question since Mr. Doris owned land along Interstate 65 in Nashville where a controversial statue of Confederate

General Nathan Bedford Forest is located and the fate of the statue and the rest of the estate is going to be determined in probate court. But for now, for now, the dog gets it all. Amen. Welcome to chewing the fat. This story, an 82-year-old, Vietnam veteran, was at home with his wife, and the door was knocked on.

Hello. And the wife, Lois, opened the door. Saw a man standing there. Later identified as 61-year-old Harold Runnels, who said he was looking for his dog. Speaking of dogs, it wasn't Lulu, though. In fact, he didn't have a dog. She opened the door, said,

you're looking for your dog? And he said, yeah, I was looking. for my little white chihuahua. And I wanted to know if you saw it. I told him, no, I hadn't. At that point, Rundells forced his way into the home, brandished a knife, and slashed Lois across the forehead. Now, the husband, Herbert,

grabbed a shotgun hanging on a nearby wall and repeatedly struck Rundells with the barrel of the weapon until he fell unconscious. So the 82-year-old man didn't even need to fire the shotgun hanging on the wall. He just decided to beat the 61-year-old Harold Reynolds with his shotgun and knocked him out. In fact, he pummeled Runnels at least 10 times in the face. And he said, look, I felt we were gone. He's going to kill us, take what he can.

I was not going to He wasn't going to go And leave us alive And I got to do something quick And get the edge on him Get the advantage on him So I just beat him silly with my shotgun Now later on

The sad news is Is that the would-be thief Runnels Died of his injuries Now the sheriff's department Especially Aiken County Sheriff's Office Captain Eric Abdullah confirmed, yeah, he was able to strike

Runnels enough to the point where he fell on the floor being conscious but unresponsive. And the neighbor, Jessica, said they made a grave error in choosing the parish home. Yeah. Runnels picked the wrong house. Now, the sheriff, deputy sheriff, captain said that, look, people have, in fact, his quote was, folks have a right to defend themselves if their lives are in danger.

But the best thing to do is call for help. Every situation is going to be different, of course. It may be a similar crime in nature, but every situation is going to be different. There's no way to accurately predict exactly what actions that any person, should take if somebody's trying to invade their home. The best recourse is to think smartly and get help on the way. Uh-huh. Well, when you don't have time for that, sir, captain,

the only thing you have time for is to pummel the criminal with your shotgun. So, the 82-year-old Vietnam veteran, protecting his 79-year-old wife and himself, takes down rumbles with his shotgun barrel without firing a shot, and yet beat him, well, more than silly. I mean, the would be criminal lost his life, which is sad. We don't want anyone to lose their life, but he shouldn't have been trying to rob the couple.

and if he was still alive, he would be thinking twice about it. But he's not. So maybe other people thinking about going into the neighborhood, I better think again, because Herbert and his wife Lois are waiting for you with the barrel of his shotgun. As many of you know, we've been going through a winter storm here in Texas and a bad one. We talked a little bit about it yesterday,

and I'm sure you've heard the news. We've all been struggling with, you know, power outages and water outages and heat outages because the sun is shining, but it's still cold. It's supposed to be warming up. We're going to be back into the 70s next week.

But a mayor of Colorado City, Texas, resigned already this week after receiving backlash for his Facebook post, where he decided to tell citizens, hey, sink or swim, would you? Which is never a good thing to do, you know, during the storm. Tuesday was, you know, a bad day. I mean, it really kicked in on Tuesday, and Wednesday and Thursday were, you know, were really bad. and most particularly, I mean, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were really bad. Mayor Tim Boyd declared, let me hurt some feelings while I have a minute.

No one owes you or your family anything, nor is the local government's responsibility to support you during trying times like this. Sink or swim. It's your choice. The city and county, along with power providers or any other service, owes you nothing in all caps. He goes on to say sick and tired of people looking for a damn handout. If you don't have electricity, you step up and come up with a game plan to keep your family warm and safe. If you have no water, you deal without and think outside the box to survive and supply. water to your family.

If you're sitting home in the cold because you have no power and are sitting there waiting for someone to come rescue you because you're lazy is direct a result of your raising. Only the strong survive and the

weak will perish. Okay. You know, I'm going to go ahead and resign. I'm sorry I never want to hurt the elderly or anyone that is in true need of help to be left to fend for themselves

I was only making a statement that those folks are just too lazy to get up and fend for themselves but they're capable and shouldn't be you know shouldn't be dealt a handout look I apologize for the wording and some of the phrases that were used

please understand if I had to do it over again I would have just kept my words to myself and if I did say them I would have used better wording and been more descriptive yeah yeah that's probably a good idea you know why don't you go ahead and resign oh okay I will no problem yeah Tim Tim Boyd former mayor of Colorado's city, Texas. You probably should have been, I don't know, quiet. There was only a few million Texans without power, and a few of them, you know, died. That's all, though.

You know, those people were trying to, you know, I don't know, sink or swim. And they sank. So you were right. And you probably, you know, should have just kept that Facebook post. I don't know. to yourself, but you didn't. You had to share, and you shouldn't have. So even with your apology, which I like the apology,

I would have just kept the words to myself. If I did say something, yeah, I would to use better wording and, you know, been more descriptive, but I still would have felt the same way. And, you know, screw those people. You know, just the people that I represent. represent as mayor of the city. Yeah, just those people. Yeah.

If anything, I probably should have just gone to Cancun with Ted Cruz. It's unbelievable to me that this guy is taking such a hit for taking his family to Cancun. Now, are the optics bad? You bet. Does it really matter? No. does Ted Cruz being in Cancun with his family while I'm stuck in Dallas, Texas, with rolling blackouts and very little water from the water company?

Does he going to help that? No. Does he, is he going to do anything other than call people and say, what are we doing? please get this fixed, that's all he's going to do. Can he do that from Cancun? You betcha. Would I have rather been in Cancun than Dallas, Texas this past week? You betcha.

But because it's Ted Cruz and we, you know, hate him, especially the media, we're going to beat him up and give him a hard time for going to Cancun. And he came back. You know, he said he felt bad. he came back and, you know, all of that, but he should have never apologized. How many times? How many times have we talked about on this very show, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher? Never bend the knee to the rage mob. Never.

It doesn't work. They don't care. They don't really want to hear it. and even if you give it to them, then it's just blood in the water for them to attack even harder. If you don't give it to them, all they have is, and he hasn't apologized. Well, yeah, no, you're right.

I haven't. I didn't apologize for going on a vacation with my family. But now, now all of a sudden that we have the apology, it makes it look worse. And it makes it just another Ted Cruz event where he did something and then he backed off and fell to the rage mob and apologized and it won't do any good, Ted.

I don't know why you did it. It was a mistake to apologize. It is unbelievable to me. Now, again, the optics were bad. I'll give you that. I'll give you that the optics were bad. But so what? if it was just, why not,

if you're going to say anything, it was a planned vacation. I was taking my family down to Cancun. You know, like all the other people on the same plane that were taking pictures of me, yeah, they were escaping to Cancun too. Why? Because of the winter! It's just incredible.

But he's going to continue to get hammered for this, especially since we don't want to talk about Cuomo in New York, and we don't want to talk about some of the other things that are going on in Washington, D.C., so we want to beat up Ted Cruz. That hateful, god-awful Trump supporter, Ted Cruz down there in Texas. We're going to beat him up. And we want Texans to know that their lives would have been so much better had Ted Cruz not gone to Cancun for a day with his family and then came back alone and got things done.

Your house would be warm with heat because Ted Cruz would have had the heater on, would have had the power turn back on. Your water pipes that broke would have been fixed because Ted Cruz would have been there to fix it. Is that true? No, it's not true at all. But it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter at all. Just incredible to me that he thinks, that he can bend the knee to the rage mob, and it will work. And it will not work. I mean, why he could have just said, look, I was going to go save the sea turtles, you know, down at South Padre Island with a sea turtle ink. But I decided, you know what, they've got it. So I'm going to go to Cancun with my family. A Texas nonprofit, the Sea Turtle Inc.

rescued about 3,500 sea turtles from the cold temperatures. Apparently, the sea turtles were cold stunned, and they had to be rescued, and they were taken care of by sea turtle ink. Now, when temperatures go below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the cold-blooded animals become sluggish, lethargic. When their body temperatures plunge, they become cold stunned.

So they needed to be rescued. And, you know, good for them. That's what they do. It just seems strange that we're wasting time and energy. We're not wasting time and energy, Jeff. We're saving sea turtles who were cold stunned. Well, there were a lot of people that were cold stunned as well. So, anyway, the nonprofit issued an emergency.

alert at 2 a.m. Monday when it lost power and could not sufficiently heat the turtles. Oh no. It had hundreds of turtles in its facility and moved hundreds more to the city's convention center. Oh no. We are so pleased with the community acceptance. But all of these efforts will be in vain if we do not soon get power restored to our facility. But good news. SpaceX. installed a commercial generator that was able to bring power back to the facility. Oh my gosh, we still need to access the damage that's been done. But Sea Turtle Incs, tank eaters were broken as well. So we don't know exactly the extent of the damage.

But we do know that thanks to SpaceX, the commercial generator was able to bring power back to the facility and helped save sea turtles that were cold stunned during this storm. No news. I mean, nothing could, nothing, nothing could let you know what the horror could be to this planet and to South Padre Island, Texas, if we lost the sea turtles to record-breaking cold temperatures. if they would have become more than just cold stunned. It would have been cold dead.

Nobody wants that. Nobody wants that. I mean, okay, thank you, C. Turtle Inc. Thank you. We appreciate all your hard work and your special nonprofit rescuers that went out to Save the sea turtles that were cold stunned.

Let's go to the break room and get a drink of cold stunned soda. Oh yeah. You know, as long as we're here in the break room, but we just got done talking about the sea turtles who were cold stunned. We just had the story about how scientists have cloned the first U.S. endangered species, a black-footed ferret. And that was duplicated from genes of an animal that died over 30 years ago. So why don't we just do that to the turtles? We can just clone the sea turtles and we'll be fine, okay?

Now, they just announced, apparently the black-footed ferret was born on December 10th, so they've been keeping it quiet because they've been trying to make sure that the black-footed ferret is fine. And yep, it is. It was done at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at their special black-footed ferret breeding facility in Fort Collins, Colorado. Oh, so maybe we need a special sea turtle breeding facility. Maybe on South Padre Island with the Sea Turtle Inc. people. And just start cloning those bad boys. We'll have sea turtles on top of sea turtles in no time.

Now, they're still trying to bring back the passenger pigeon and clone. We've been cloning dogs and cats and horses for quite a while now. but apparently this genomic data can really make a difference on the ground with conservation efforts. Okay, no problem. Let's go. I know this has been focused and coordinated with the ferret and horse clonings. So let's go. Let's get on it with the sea turtles and save them, okay?

Ah, yeah, let's do that. All right. Now, according to this, animals that are copied through the genes there's a Texas-based company Viagin I think that's Viagin right V-I-A-G-E-N a company that clones pet cats

for $35,000 and dogs for $50,000 okay and I don't know how much it costs to get a horse done But we need to drop the price a little bit before we get to the sea turtles. Maybe that's why Sea Turtle Inc. It's been kind of slow on the old cloning of the sea turtles, a little bit too expensive.

So according to this, they have worked on the passenger pigeons. They've worked on trying to bring back a woolly mammoth. I remember talking about that. How about let's not do that? we know that that is not going to turn out well we know it now I guess birds are the hardest because of their eggs

but okay so does that make turtles even harder than birds I don't know I'd like to talk to the people at the cloning facility in Fort Collins and let's get this ball rolling to save the sea turtles okay let's get those cloned and over with

Let's not worry so much about the black-footed ferret. And let's worry about the sea turtles. And did you ever think, you know, I know we're cloning and we're bringing back these animals that are close to being extinct or extinct. But maybe, maybe, just maybe. There's a reason that things go away on the planet Earth. Perhaps Earth has decided their time is up. And it's time to move on and something else will replace that. And if we clone them and start bringing them back to life,

perhaps maybe that sets the whole ecological balance off balance. but that's just me you know just me yeah you know it's just me worrying about what's off balance and all

now speaking of off balance my man Kanye is reportedly not doing well I know I know him Kim are you know they kind of got the splits going on and we know that And, you know, there's no divorce paper has been filed.

So we just know that they're struggling. And he knows, according to this, he knows what he's losing. He knows what he's losing in Kim. Okay. Now, I guess they're, by all accounts, estranged now, heading toward divorce. Kanye is really struggling. He knows the marriage is over, and there's nothing that can be done right now. Oh.

Okay. And this is an inside sources, multiple sources have confirmed two people. So you know it's true. If you're an inside source to Kanye and Kim, you're talking to people. And you're talking to people.com and letting them know. And according to this, Kim is okay with it. All right? They're just not the same.

They're not on the same page when it comes to the future of the fans. family. And, you know, she's been a big supporter of Kanye, big supporter to the family and Kanye. And she stood beside him at a time where few wives would have done that. I don't know that that's actually true, because isn't that what husbands and wives are supposed to do, you know, for better or for worse thing? According to this, there's very little hope of reconciliation. It would have to be a miracle. But according to people, Kanye does believe in miracles. So Kim Kardashian is 40 years old.

Wow. She's the primary caregiver for the couple's four children. North, south, east, and west. North is seven and a half. Chicago is three. Sons Saint is five. Psalm is two. But she still wants Kanye to be part of their lives.

She's made it clear that Kanye can talk to the children any time he wants. Never threatened to keep the kids from him. It's all just between he and I. So she just can't be married to him anymore. Okay. So this is according to people. So that's not good news for Kanye. and Kim and kids, north, south and east and west.

Speaking of divorces also, the Reverend Al Sharpton, is getting a divorce. And you'll say to yourself, wait, Al Sharpton is married. Yep, but he's been separated since 2004. But I guess now that they've been estranged for 17 years, it's time for a divorce. so maybe one or the other is found a new hotie to bring into their life but they are it's time to get a divorce and I seriously I didn't realize Al was was married Alan Jordan met in the 70s while Al was touring with James Brown and he was a backup singer and then in 1980 they were wet in 1980 together for 24 years

and then they've been estranged for 17 years. He's been with his girlfriend, Aisha McShaw, since 2013. He has two adult daughters with Kathy. It's unclear at this point of either Al or Kathy will be seeking spousal support. I mean, if you're Al's estranged wife, you've probably been milking him for a little bit of cash. anyway. I mean, why wouldn't you be? If I'm Al's wife, a stranger not. I'm milking Al for a little bit of cash.

So I say, yes, Al, you give me some cash. You're making all kinds of money. And even though we've been a strange, I've been a huge supporter of you and our children. And while they're all grown up now, I still need some cash. Okay? All right, then. Take care. I know, I know.

some of the best people in the world involved into creating. So maybe that'll happen too. I don't know. Good luck. God bless. I just know that you should subscribe to Chewing the Fat Podcast and Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher's YouTube channel, no matter what social platform is available to you. Okay?

All right. That's right. You know I love criminals. And especially, well, I love smart criminals, but we never hear about smart criminals because they're too smart to get busted. This pair of geniuses, two British men, were 36 and 34 years old,

sentenced to seven years behind bars. After pleading guilty to importing cocaine, Wow. Okay, so these two geniuses attempted to jet ski from the Netherlands to the UK with $278,000 worth of cocaine, but they didn't realize they were going to run out of gas and have to be rescued at sea. Now, they were arrested about 27 nautical miles off the Suffolk coast after approaching a survey boat and reporting difficulties due to a fuel shortage. At one point, they were pitched into the sea. So, and one of the men were showing signs of hypothermia and the other of exhaustion. The survey vessel put out a May Day call to the Coast Guard, and the helicopter came and hauled

the pair to safety. They reported that, uh, you know, these guys were acting kind of suspicious. Yeah. Well, they said they were fishing and ran into difficulty before the investigators discovered. Oh yeah. What is that in your backpack? Four point four pounds of cocaine. Oh, yeah. No problem. And then after that, we went into a little investigation. and the officers found a van owned by one of the men, one of the men with maps of the North Sea, a pickup point in the Netherlands, tied timetables,

a cell phone and diving equipment, according to the BBC. According to the defense of one of the men, he said his client, eh, you know, he was a successful boxer who had lost out on a fight, and he had no money. So he agreed to smuggle the drug,

You know, one thing led to another, and there we are in the middle of the ocean, you know, trying to run our jet ski across. And I'm sorry, I know that it was, you know, it wasn't the ocean. They were just trying to jet ski from the Netherlands into the UK, you know, without any gas. got all that stuff in their vans, but no information on, you know, we probably should bring some extra gas along in case we get close to running out, which we will, about 27 nautical miles from the coast. So the police detective inspector said in a statement, we hope this sentence will act as a deterrent to criminals trying to bring drugs into our country. I got news for you. Detective Inspector Matt Adams, it won't, but good try.

Now we've got some coronavirus headlines that we have got to get to as just some of these. Okay, I'm just going to give you four stories here on coronavirus. That is just amazing to me. All right. So did you know that the Wuhan Institute of Virology is an author of receiver of taxpayer money, your money for animal research. You know, only through 2024. That's it though. They received 600,000 in taxpayer funds between 2014 and 2019 through a nonprofit group, EcoHealth Alliance to study bat-based coronaviruses.

Now, the funny thing about EcoHealth Alliance, their president, Peter Dasak, was the sole U.S. member of the World Health Organization's delegation that investigated the origins of COVID-19 in China. That's it, though. That's it. He's just one of the guys that said, ah, it's highly unlikely. That could have been, you know, leaked from the Wuhan Institute. so just let it go. Don't worry about it. Wow.

Okay. No problem. Now, we also know that what we don't know. And that is the FDA, didn't we say that coronavirus could be spread on food and food packaging? Now they say, nope, can't spread on food or food packaging. Okay, no problem. We also know now, according to a lab experiment, the five, Pfizer bio-intech vaccine, less potent against the coronavirus variant, which, you know, will

mean that like, I don't know, the great Bill Gates said, I don't know who died and left Bill Gates in charge, but we're certainly quoting him everywhere in the world these days, that we're going to need a third vaccine shot for the variants. So that's good. That's good. And since we are now saying that coronavirus can't spread on food or food packages, we said before that it may be able to, we also know that cats, rabbits, and hedgehogs all have been implicated in a new study that aims to predict the animals most likely to launch the next deadly COVID-19 outbreak. So cats, rabbits, and hedgehogs. Man, a lot of animals in the news today on Fat Pile Friday here on chewing the fat.

So we know that we don't want to clone cats, rabbits, and hedgehogs, although we are, because we found out that cats are like $35 grand. I think it was something like that, $35 grand for the cats to be cloned. And we don't want a clone. We don't want cloned to COVID-19. So with the help of artificial intelligence, biologists were able to design a prediction model that could prioritize potential hosts of virus strains

already known to exist, but have not yet reached humans. Oh, that's good. So we know that there are already virus strains that we haven't contacted yet, but they're out there. So we want to make sure that, next coronavirus, we want to make sure we know where it might come from, and that would be cats,

rabbits, and hedgehogs. Isn't that special? You got something to look forward to? I know. I know. I'm excited. All right, so let's talk about UFOs for a little or a little. Pentagon has now admitted to holding and testing wreckage from UFO crashes. Oh wait. Oh, what? A researcher wrote to the Defense Intelligence Agency requesting details of all UFO material with which they hold and results of any tests they had been carrying out on it. This could include physical debris, recovered by personnel of the Department of Defense's residue, shot off material or crash material, you know, from unidentified aerial phenynolds.

or unidentified flying objects. In response, 154 pages of test results that includes reports on a mysterious memory metal called Nitnall, which remembers its original shape when folded, incredible. So according to some of this retrieved debris, it possesses extraordinary capabilities, including the potential to make things invisible or even slow down the speed of light. That is awesome and a little scary, which means some of the stuff that we could possibly have been seeing was of our own making. We're trying to do what we have been testing with, right, with these futuristic materials.

and that would be awesome if we're using it. And if we can make it work for us without the help of the Galactic Federation on Mars, which we're there now on Mars. We've landed and our rover is on Mars. So hopefully we can find where the Galactic Federation has a door and we can talk to them. Somebody has to know.

I mean, the guy from Israel said that it existed, he's got to know at least where to find him, how to contact them. There's got to be some kind of smoke signal we send up to Mars to let them know, hey, Galactic Federation, we're here for you, right? Okay. I mean, we've got to find a way. Anyway, that is really cool.

And I'm going to read a little bit more on that and see if there was anything, you know, anything else really, really cool. But I love the fact that we still have materials, a couple of materials that, you know, seems to be working. The memory metal and the potential to make things invisible or slow

them down? Uh, yeah. That would be kind of cool. Just a little. Just a little cool. Now, according also on this new study,

pollution. Pollution. Pollution. The pollution that's ruining the earth. That may be a sign of alien civilization. Wait, what? You have any compounds that can possibly be found in the atmospheres and other planets can often only be made through industry. Hmm.

So could pollution be the key to finding traces of extraterrestrial civilization? Yeah, it possibly could be. Don't you think? Now, they're talking about the pollution, you know, flying around other planets, not the pollution here on Earth. I get it. Okay. But much of the pollution that we're finding is produced like carbon dioxide and water vapor and ones like oxygen or methane. That could be indicative of primitive life, though on Earth the first two billion years there wasn't much atmosphere.

So, you know, we're hoping that that. That means that we are detecting larger molecules, more complex stuff, that cannot be naturally produced. So that's good. Although, I will say, we've put a lot of trash up in the air, too. Well, not the air, the atmosphere surrounding the earth. We've put a lot of trash up there. I mean, we've talked at length on this show about creating some sort of space trash company because we've got to go up and get the satellites.

are unleashing hundreds, if not thousands of satellites and they are orbiting the globe and we've got to get some kind of trash company to get up there and get rid of them. We have to. I mean, at some point you

create a space island, not just a plastic island in the middle of the ocean, but you create a satellite island in space just floating around a giant glob of of waste. floating around orbiting the globe.

We can't have that. My gosh, we can't have that. Maybe that's why we still have to wait to launch instead of just getting in and taking off because we've got no way right now, once we're in the middle of takeoff, to swerve out of the way of space junk island orbiting the globe. So we've got to know, hey, the space junk is passing by,

so now we can take off and miss the space junk as we head to the ISS or the moon or Mars, something like that, you know, whatever. I mean, we've got to come close to that, right? And the cool thing, we talk about some really cool properties for sale on this show, and one of the coolest places, I think, would be the ranch bordering Area 51. It is now for sale. And that also includes the famous black mailbox.

Right? I know. I know. It's the ranch that has you butted up against Area 51. And it is the Medland Ranch. It's on the market. It's only a cattle ranch. Okay?

That's it. It's only a cattle ranch. Now, in the infamous black mailbox, of course, was changed back in the late 90s to a white mailbox. But, of course, everyone still calls it the black mailbox. And it was destroyed, of course. People can't just leave things alone. That's why we can't have nice things.

So the owner, Steve Medlin, has since moved the real mailbox to a different location. And the one that is the black mailbox isn't the real mailbox. What? But now the Ticaboo Valley is a little sparse, but it's a good place to raise, raise and graze cattle. And the man who owns it, Steve Medlin and his wife came to the valley in the early 70s, and he built it all. There was no buildings, no running water, no other utilities.

My man took care of it all, got it going. Now he's got 750 head of cattle. and the rest of the world knew nothing of the top secret work going on at Area 51 just over the ridge. But in the late 80s, they got a crash course because the United States Air Force seized 89,000 acres of public land with no explanation. They just took it. Oh, it's public land. Don't worry about it. We'd take it.

you know, government land. It's public land, and that's where the cattle raise. It's not public anymore, and you've got to, you know, that's just the way it is. So he made a deal, Medlin made a deal with the Air Force that, you know, he had to come on that land to get his cattle when they went over there to graze and feed. So they gave him a special radio and said, if you're coming on the property, call first. Oh, okay. And so that's what he does. And he's got the special radio.

Now you get the ranch with the special radio now. Huh? I know. Think about it. That would be kind of cool. It almost be worth it. Right? Right.

Now, the highway that you get to that's quite a ways away from the house is highway 375, the extraterrestrial highway. Right? I know. I know. So how much would you pay for this ranch? The Medlin Ranch. Okay?

It's next area 51. You've got the black mailbox. You're on extraterrestrial highway. You're out there. 4.5 million. Now you get two homes. 70 irrigation spots for cattle. 80 total acres of your land,

but you're using a lot of the public land out there that's government land to graze your cattle on. Half the land was sold to Medland by the Bureau of Land Management for $19,000. And they've also installed a weather station on his land. So I don't know if he gets any cash from the government for that.

So you get that and you get to be up against Area 51 for only for $4.5 million. So that's a deal. That's a good deal. And if I could afford it, I'd be there. But I don't have your money.

So when I get your money, then you'll know I got your money because I'll be living on the Medlin Ranch, which will then be the Fisher Ranch. And you'll know I paid $4.5 million for 80 acres, a couple of houses, some watering holes. and some cattle. But, but I'll have the special radio to Area 51.

Hello, Area 51? Yeah, this is Jeff. Listen, I'm coming to get some cattle. So if you see me on the Air Force land, it's just me picking up some cattle. Okay? It might look like there's not any cattle, and I'm just snooping around,

but it only looks like that because I'm looking for cattle. Okay? All right. Thank you. Just wanted to let you know.
