You and I are good. Now, news last night was very disturbing, especially after dinner. But CTI Foods in Owingsville, Kentucky, recalling approximately 29,000, 28 pounds of frozen, ready to eat pork and poultry sausage links. Because it may be contaminated with extraneous materials. You don't want to chew on any of that. What is that, though? metal pieces of metal, flakes, anything. That's extraneous materials.

Some guy dropped a lunchbox in the grinder is what happened probably. Now the frozen ready to eat sausage links produced and packaged on August 4th. These are the following products. The 4-ounce pouches, the 23.4 ounce pouches of Jimmy Dean heat and serve original sausage links. Those are pretty good. I mean, those aren't bad. and Jimmy's got to be mad. I mean, if he were alive, he'd be mad.

But that's a good product. So if you bite into your frozen Jimmy Dean Heaton's Serve original sausage and you get that you either spit it out and take it back or just swallow. I'll leave the jokes to you. A couple of fascinating crime stories that I can't get out of my head.

One were the nuns that embezzled money for over 10 years from the Catholic school in California. I mean, they were just deep pocketed money for 10 years. The two nuns go with God, and I'm deep pocketing your money. Amazing. They took the money. They went on trips to Vegas. They were at the casino.

They spent money at the casino. They're gambling. They're partying. It doesn't really say that they were partying. just, you know, it just says that they went to gamble. I don't know if they gambled in their nunnery outfit with the habit, the hobbit, whatever the hell they call it. But what do they?

What is it? What is the nun? Is it the hobbit, the habit? It's the habit, right? Yeah. I don't think they might have been gambling with that on. I don't know. They don't have to wear it anymore, I guess,

unless they're actually like, it's kind of like the military, right? When they have to show up at church in their whole nunnery outfit, that's their uniform. When they're not at church, they just can't wear anything, right? Is that the nun?

Yeah, that's the nun. Because I've never seen a nun. I've participated and been a part of Catholic private education in the past, and the nuns were never all hobbited out. they were never all hobbited out.

They all... Yeah, it is. It is. That's what they call it. That's what they call it. When there's funerals and stuff, they got to get all hobbit it out. So anyway, these nuns,

these two nuns, 10 years took all this money from... I mean, they took tuition checks. They would steal from the pot, past the hat, deep pocketed into the whole nun pocket. And the nun, think about the nun pocket. The nun pockets are deep, right?

If you're all hobbited out, those pockets are deep. So the Archdiocese says, no, we're not going to, they're not facing any criminal charges. But, but they're going to impose severe sanctions against these two nuns. What does that mean? Severe sanctions. You cannot be all hobbited out for the rest of your life. And you have to say 50 Hail Marys every day and you will dust down the pews every day in the church. That's all we're having to, but you're not going to prison.

I mean, that's amazing. Half a million bucks, they were just taking what they wanted, right? I mean, the total is really irrelevant. It's not, but it kind of is. I mean, half a million bucks to the Catholic Church, nothing, right? But they were just taking what they needed. Oh, we've got to go, we've got to go gamble this weekend. Half the pile into the old robbery, down the deep pockets where they're off to Vegas.

You guys off again? Yeah, we're off partying. That's tremendous. Good for the, I hope, I hope that this is something that is happening throughout America, like the, you know, the priest issue. I don't want to talk about that right now, but I'm just that. I don't want to compare the stealing of money. to the whole priest issue thing

because there really isn't any comparison. But the Catholic Church did investigate that on their own for a lot of years and nothing really happened. Just saying. I have a question in here. Yes. Were they singers as well? Because this sounds like a reverse plot of the sister act.

Yeah, this was Sister Act 3. Yeah. This was an independent film. Is what this was. Actually, Sister Act 1 was great. Amazing. I love that movie. I love that movie.

I love that movie. I love that movie. I love that movie. I love that movie. I've even been forced to sit through two from time to time. But one was great. And the one girl, I mean, we could just, we talk about, I don't want to get into the deep, in-depth discussion about Sister Act and Whoopi Goldberg.

But this is when Whoopie was actually good, right? This is before she got all viewed out. But I enjoyed, she was in another movie, too, called, oh, no. She was a thief. She was a thief. And the guy, what was the name of that stupid Whoopi Goldberg movie? Anyway, she was really good in it. I don't think she got any accolades for it or anything.

I got to hold on. We're pausing the podcast right now because I have to find out the Whoopi Goldberg movie. It's called Burglar. And I really enjoyed that movie. She was great in it. And the people looked, oh, I see that movie. She sucks. No, she was great in it.

That's what Whoopi was, that was preview. That was pre-view, whoopee. Once she got all viewed out, man, it was over. Now, Rhode Island, all of us of us, you know, we were talking about Catholic schools and Catholic churches, and that's how I became acquainted with the, you know, the Catholic church. My whole, every, every in-laws that I've had in my life throughout the years have been Catholic. So I'm not technically Catholic, but I have been brainwashed the Catholic way. and, you know, my oldest son went to private Catholic school for a lot of years.

And so, I mean, I'm well aware of their ways. But now, the one thing the Catholic Church didn't do, although they, you know, charged a pretty penny for sending your kids to the school, a school district in Rhode Island, not a Catholic school, but a public school district in Rhode Island, has now hired a private debt collection agency to go after lunch money. I went out of They beating the kids with Baseball bats Hello

Is Millie here? Yeah Millie Somebody's at the door for you You're going to pay your lunch money kid I'm going to break your knees That's That's pretty amazing

Now I don't know if what happens If you know Like I've Usually what happens Right We hear these stories all the time Where the school You go through the lunch line

And the old person Usually waiting at the cash register, not always. You owe us money for lunch, and we're not going to give you lunch. I'm going to go ahead and give it to you today, but not tomorrow. That's usually what happens. And then you tell your folks and your folks send in a couple of bucks and you're good, right?

So we hear the stories all the time where, you know, she hasn't paid for three months, and I've given her lunch and now I didn't serve her lunch. So the day that she doesn't get lunch, the world ends. Right? The day she doesn't get lunch, it's the cafeteria workers' fault. But they got to pay, I mean, somebody's got to pay for it, and I'm paying for most of it anyway. As a taxpayer, so are you.

So, I mean, these people should be paying. Should these school districts be hiring collection agencies to go after the kids? I know they're going after the parents. Don't look at me like they're not going after the kids. You don't know that. They could be waiting outside the school property after school's over. Come here. You tell your folks, you owe $5.25 for lunch.

You don't pay? Breaking your kneecaps. We'll see how good you make the swim team then. Get out of here. I mean, I'm not saying that all collection agencies do that. I'm just saying it's possible that can happen. Now, for the district, it's unpaid lunch balance of $45,000. And I mean, we do need a collection agency.

The district had previously required families to pay their full school lunch bill by the end of the school year, but many did not pay. They shouldn't be eating lunch. Over the past two school years, the district's unpaid balance, $95,508. No. I would start cooking up the best lunches America has ever seen at cafeterias. And if you haven't paid, you ain't eaten. I mean, that's agonizing.

I don't think veto should be collecting from the parents, but that's a little out of control. Now, obviously, this is the entire district. It's not like one little middle school. One little middle school owes $800,000 dollars in lunch payments, no. But the whole district, that's a pretty, that's a pretty substantial amount of money, not being paid to the schools.

And the reason that's not being paid is because they're not enforcing the payments. It isn't, they don't need a collection agency. They need to make clear you don't pay. Your kid is not going to eat. We'll give your kid a banana. We'll give your kid a banana or something. Or we'll give, yeah, we'll give them a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He's allergic to peanut butter?

bummer bummer maybe they should peel off they can have the slice of bread from the jelly side then okay sorry that's what you're getting we're not we're not taking care of that too

that's agonizing pay your bills well I hate saying that that's tough for me because if you could get away with just eating for free why wouldn't you right you're going to school they're not going to they figure

they're not going to not serve you you. No way. You owe, you know, my kid would come home. Mrs. Johnson said we owe lunch for lunch. You forgot to pay for lunch. Now, in my world, that means I have to go pay for lunch. I got to go, you know, I have to go into the school and I got to pay them the money for the lunch. Here's some lunch money. In a lot of people's world is like so, and they just continue to feed them. But $95,000 worth, something needs to be done. I don't know what. I guess it's a collection agency.

We're sending Vito out to collect lunch money from these little kids. That's a bad sign. And it is in New Jersey too, so, ooh. Yeah, big time. Big time. They went to Doc. They just put the mobsters in jail the other day because Anthony Grotto, a member of the Lucchese organized crime family and Lawrence Tranese,

an associate of the Lawrence Tranese. What? An associate of the Colombo organized crime family were sentenced 12 years, 40 months. 12 years 40 months. 12 years 40 months. Why would they be sentenced to? Anyway, for conspiring to distribute oxycodone that they had obtained through fraudulent prescriptions.

Now, they also ordered them to pay back 70,000, Grotto 70,000, and Trinise 12,000. Oh, I see, wait a second. Grotto, he's the bad guy. He's the guy you want collecting lunch money, okay? To 12 years, and Tranez got 40 months, yeah, which was really, why not just say that he got a couple of years. Dye, shut up. That's three years Three years, four months

Do you want some more math? Are you okay? I mean, I was like 18. I mean, I got the joke, okay? But I can't add and subtract. Piss me off. A little bit in the show. So they go to jail for this,

but the fascinating part of the story is they had the dock wired, right? And this was an undercover, this was an undercover sting to try to get these guys. So, together they gave the Brooklyn-based doctor names of people for whom the doctor should write prescriptions. I don't know where they got the names. From the graveyard, from the hospital morgue, who knows.

And the doctor complied. I love this part of the story, usually without conducting any physical examinations. He didn't need to conduct physical examinations. It was illegal from the point one. He was just writing illegal prescriptions. and he was doing it because of the Grado and Trenisi told, look, you're going to write these prescriptions and no one, no one is going to touch these prescription pads but me.

You and me, that's it. Somebody tries to take the prescription pad? No, it doesn't happen. after he told the doc that somebody tried to take the prescription pad and he wouldn't let him take it so he got stabbed from the guy trying to take the prescription pad. I'm sure Grotto had him killed. And also on tape, Grotto told the doctor,

I'll make you write a thousand freaking scripts a day. You don't like it, I'll feed you to the freaking lions. Now that is who you want collecting lutch money. All right, I am thirsty. That's what I am. I'm thirsty. Let's go to the break room. Oh, have I ever told you how good a cold Coke zero is?

If I ever told you that. Because if I haven't, just let me tell you that. I don't think every day. I don't think I say that every day. I don't think I do. I don't think I do. Yeah, let's do that. Let's roll the tape.

Mr. Smarty Pants, and prove me incorrect. So as long as we're in the break room, let's talk about Kathy Lee Gifford, sad news, leaving the Today Show. Yep, gone, goodbye, have a nice day. 11 years, over a decade, co-hosting the fourth hour of NBC Morning Stapler. Exit was announced to staff today via the memo from NBC News.

It's with mixed emotions. It's with mixed emotions. that I share the news. Kathy Lee Gifford has decided it's time to leave today. And by that I mean not only the show, but get out. As we all know, Kathy Lee's plate has been overflowing lately with film, music, book projects. Has it? After giving us 11 extraordinary.

She's been on that stupid show 11 years. 11 freaking years. How much money they paid her for that stupid show with her and a Hoda? Agonizing. Anyway, he continues. When we first launched this incredible hour, right? I mean, it's the fourth hour of today. It took a genius to...

Maybe we should just add another hour. We'll call it the fourth hour of today. That's genius. No one could have predicted the lightning or rather wine in a bottle that is Hoda and Kathy Lee. These people agonize me. Whether in studio or on one of their many road trips, they have delighted our audience

with their distinct brand of fun, friendship, and adventure. During that time, Kathy Lee has cemented her status as one of the most enduring, endearing, talents in morning television. In short, she is a legend. And in a shorter note, Get out Take you

And your little Kathy Lee Gifford books and film and movies And hit the bricks We got rid of what's your face What's her name? You know, Fox News Megan Kelly And now we got rid of Kathy Lee. We're getting rid of them all.

Anybody, all of you. You look like your Foxx and get out. Plus Kathy Lee, now I love her. I know. You look like Fox News get out. But that was just a joke, but it might be something there. But what it really is is that what it really is, and Kathy Lee probably won't do this because she's, you know,

she's made a fortune and she needs NBC a lot less than they need her. But she is clearly. They get a little long in the tooth. And there's only so much work you could have. There's only, I know that, you know, She's beyond the three cuts to Conflage because she's close. She's close. She's not there.

And I love her. I love Kathy Lee. Don't get me wrong. Don't look at me like that. I love her. But she's, you know, she's on the teetering on that clown face edge. Yeah, she's teetering. Pretty close.

And she is pretty close. I mean, it would take, I mean, another five-year contract with NBC. Clunface. Done. I do have a question. Since you like her, where does she fall on the scale of lesser Holt? Is she more or less and lesser Holt? I mean, are you serious?

Yes, I'm dead serious. Because I want to know where she fall under. Below the great Lester Holt. Don't. There's no question. Lester Holt is the head of NBC News. This is today. I mean, please.

I'll think. I mean, Kathy Lee would, you know, she would think at some point in her career that, oh, that's just Lester. No. No, no, no, no, no. Back up, Kath. Back up, Kath. So incredibly stupid. All right.

Oh, yeah, we're in the break room. So let's talk. I do have some CDC news. Some tremendous CDC do. So this is going to help you through the holidays. All right. This holiday season, and this is direct from the CDC, and if you don't know what that stands for,

it's the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Now, it's taking this holiday season to remind all you bakers out there that eating or tasting unbaked products could make you sick. Flower, raw eggs can contain bacteria and salmonella. Flower is typically a raw agricultural product. This means it hasn't been treated to kill germs such as E. coli. Harmful germs can contaminate grain while it's still in the field or at other steps as flour is produced. Yeah, Bill might have to, I don't know, throw his lunchbox in or something.

You never know. So what they're asking you is don't eat raw cookie dough. Just say no to raw cookie dough. you know what I CDC just say no to know I'm not going to not eat raw

cookie dough wait that doesn't really run it all off the tongue how about hey I'm going to eat your raw cookie dough tough a freaking deal CDC stop it my wife makes cookies all the time it makes cookies all the time

there's always cookies we're going to take cookies here we're going to take cookies there we're going to make cookies And, you know, you can't just, it's a law that if you make cookies in a house that I'm in, I have to eat some. It's a lot. I mean, that's, I'm pretty sure that it might not have made it to the original constitution, but it's in the Bill of Rights. Cookies made in my house, I get. So, and, you know, we, I may, I may walk by the raw dough from time to time.

and, you know, test it? I was hooked on the tubes for a while. I know that comes as a surprise. I know that comes as a surprise. But I was hooked on the tubes for a while. Man, those things could get addicting.

I could remember getting down to the... Nah, I won't go into... If I start talking about it, if I start talking about it, and half and then what you gotta do is you go the easiest way to go about it is is to cut it in half and then you eat half of the half roll it up you're good and you don't throw out the end you know if you cut the end off the one half you still have plenty of cookie dough in that end the way the the way the company crickles up and packages the cookie dough so it squeezes that end together there

is all kinds of cookie dough in that end you open that thing up there's all kinds yeah oh don't throw that away. That's a waste. So a man in Westford, Vermont decided to retaliate against his enemies, and he got a little mad with people in this town. He was a little mad at him. So he

built an 8,000 square foot garage so he could move his truck repair and recycling businesses to his own property. But Westford, the town, said, no, We're not going to give you a permit. You're not giving you a permit.

You can't do it. They've been battling for this building for over 10 years for this guy. This guy wants to do business. There's all freaking property. So he's now had it. All right. So he got a monument constructed. It's a 700-pound block of pine.

It's cut out in the shape of a hand. and giving a finger. And he's put it on top of the 16 foot pole. It cost him $4,000. And he put floodlights on it. And he's giving the whole town the finger now, 24-7. I am in love with this guy. Money well spent.

Absolutely money well spent. As we're walking back to get back to work, I know we were in the break room just putting around a little bit. But I want to tell you about an opportunity that we have for you to win the elf on the shelf and the scout elves. We got scout elves. We got elf on the shelves. We got DVDs.

We got CDs. We got the dog, the St. Bernard dog to give away. I don't have the reindeer. I'm a little disappointed about the reindeer. I got to stop talking about that because it kind of ticks me off that I don't have the reindeer. But we have the dog and we have the elf. And we have, what do we have? We have the movie.

And we have the, we have both movies and we have the music? No, we don't have the music. We have both movies. and we have a little outfit for the elf on the shelf, and then we have two elves that we're about to give out, that we're giving permission to give out. Okay, so I need pictures of where these elves are going to live, and then you just hashtag it, elf on a shelf, or scout elf.

Don't shake here. Just say what they need to do. They need to hashtag chewing the fat and hashtag scout elf. That's what I just... So hashtag it's Scout Elf and chewing the fat, And we'll be giving those away on Friday. Selfies are a big deal. Selfies are a big deal.

You know, everybody takes selfies. Everybody wants to take a shot. Hey, excuse me. I'm such a fan and my mom's going to be so surprised that I ran into you. Let me take a shot and selfie with you. You see people taking selfies all the time. People have died taking selfies. I mean, you've got the, you have the selfie arms that you can hold the phone,

which actually is kind of a cool product. And, I mean, even Barack Hussein God-awful Obama showed off the selfie stick, agonizing as it was. So now there's a big deal happening because a couple who have taken selfies before around the world. And they take pictures, selfies of themselves appearing to have sex. maybe not even completely naked, but like the girl takes off her top. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm just saying, but she just has,

she has her undergarments on. And so, but now, now there's trouble. There's trouble right here in River City with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for pool. Name that movie. It's trouble right here in River City. the capital T and that rhymes with P

and that stands for P. It's a classic movie called The Music Man. It's a musical called Music Man. And look it up. Look it up. I don't know when it was filmed. I think probably the music man. I bet you 56.

76 trombones in the big parade. We've got trouble right here in River City. Tell me what year was. Go on. Come on, come on, come on. 1957. I was close, man. I was close.

I do. It had to be right around there. Okay, so back to the pyramids. So this couple goes to Egypt. And they're wandering around. And the woman who, of course, has her face pixelated in the selfie. And she takes her top off. And she still has her undergarments on it.

It appears like they're having sex. All right. Now, they say. in this article that they waited in the pyramid complex until it became less busy. And then they began their 460 foot climb. And they began their 460 foot climb. Now, it says that it took them about 25 minutes to reach the summit. I don't know.

I don't know if it's worth it. Now, they feared to be spotted by many guards. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no kidding. Now, they said they didn't film anything for several hours sneaking around the plateau. What a bunch of doofuses. So they reached the top.

And this is where they... Now, they have audio of them climbing. Now, I think that in this... Well, look, this is a podcast, chewing the fact. We don't have video. Don't tell me it's a video of my ear. I know it's video, but it's audio with it. People don't care about the video,

unless I happen to tweet it out at Jeff EMRA. So they videotaped themselves. We have the audio from that video. And this is what it sounds like. It's rummating so far. This is not the sex video. This is them climbing. seriously it's riveting right

wait what did he actually just say that so he uses the F word you know like that didn't mean that he wanted to do it that means he was ready to die she took that the wrong way

that's what she took her sweater off he's like oh okay no I'm dying I'm dying on the of this stupid period I'm in. But, hey, let me tell you something now.

Don't be messing with the Egyptian people, man. Because the Egypt's antiquities minister, Khalid Al-Anani, he is pissed. Khalid Elanani, the antiquities minister. I bet you he has a badge and everything. Khalid Elanani, antiquities minister. You don't want to mess with Egypt, man. I can tell you an Egypt story when we went to. Israel and we were flying back from Israel going to South America going to South Africa and so we were in a we were in a private plane that we went from Israel to we were going to fly to South Africa and we had to refuel and we refueled in Egypt and when we were going to land in Egypt the pilot comes back and goes keep your windows closed they may board the plane if they board the plane don't say anything to them

don't look out the window and we're just going to fuel and we're out of here. So we land in Egypt and, you know, I mean, how can you not open the window? Duh. A little bit, just that little... It's that little sneakies.

They aren't going to be able to tell that the light is shining through that little crack in the window they will never be able to tell me. Bullet in my eye. But they'll never be able to tell. So I peek out a little bit. And we are surrounded by Egyptian military. and they are not messing with.

They didn't board. They did not board. You know, the pilot had all our all our passports and everything. So, I mean, he just went out and did his business and we refueled it out of there. But there's no,

he'll be messing with that. And Khalid El Nani might have been there. Egypt's head took him his minister might have been there. He might have been with his arms car. He might have been the guy that I just looked out of a little bit of the military.

There was one guy there with his arms crossed. That was Khaled El Nani. So you remember, She's been a couple of weeks now, two or three weeks, when we had the Mercury One gala. And one of the giveaways was the Mercedes-Benz. And, you know, for $100, you win the car. Now, I was positive. I was going to win that thing.

Positive, I was going to win that thing. And apparently, they drew another name. But we have Rick Rudolph and Paige Wester here. Now, Rick was the one whose name was drawn to win the Mercedes-Benz. Now, you both are from Tampa, right? Welcome to the show. Welcome to Chewing the Fats. Good to see you.

Nice to meet you. It's so nice of you to come all this way to give me the car. I mean, that is so nice of you. All you had to do is call. But, Jeffrey, I'm a big fan. I'm a big fan. But you're not giving me the car. You're not getting the car.

So anyway, thank you for coming. I appreciate it. Now, you came all the way here from Tampa. Tampa, yeah. You flew in. First of all, I miss being in Tampa. I love Tampa Bay. My heart still lives there.

Yeah, nice. Where are you guys? No, I'll talk to you off there about where you live. But you came in. They have the car for you. Have you picked it up yet already? You've got to pick up the bends? Yeah, flew in yesterday.

And I said, we better pick this car up tonight if we can because we're going to be down here. And last night, we picked it up. 7.30 we drove out a dealer and we were on our way. So did you have some sort of deal with your dad that, hey, if you win, it's mine? Was that the deal? No, he's just really one of the kindest, most generous people I know. I loved you so much. My car got pretty banged up.

I got rear-ended pretty bad. I'll let the jokes go. The car was pretty close to totaled, so it would be really nice to have a new car to drive. A couple of those in my life, and they're not fun. No. Are you okay? I'm okay now. Yeah.

Oh, no. Yeah. What happened? Well, I had had a long issue. So my lung collapsed after the accident, so I had to go in for certain things. A little help? Yeah. It's okay, but they got me fixed up, so I'm good now.

Good. Good. And so because of that, you said you were going to buy a ticket. Did you only buy one? I bought five. Okay, good. Good. That makes me feel a little bit better than my only one.

Four more chances. But it worked. I mean, hey, that's a nice car for $500. Right? Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah. 500 plus taxes. Yeah.

Plus taxes, title. It was a great deal. Shipping. We had to put the wheels on it. We had to put the engine on it. For 500 bucks, you get the Mercedes-Benz emblem. Yeah. But I called her a couple weeks before.

Right. I sent the money in. And I said, I'm setting the money in for the rally. I'm going to get you a new car. That is fantastic. And then when I got to, I was traveling and I got a phone call from Lizza, and she said, you wanted the car. I mean, you knew it.

You knew it already, right? So I called Paige and said, Paige, I got your car. Got your car. We're going to Dallas. We're going to Dallas. We're going to Dallas. Nice. Well, it'll be nice to be driving around Tampa Bay and see some waters and have that,

have the Gulf of Mexico shimmering off of the side of that Mercedes-Benz. It will. It will be. So are you driving back today? You just came. You just flew in to pick up the car and then you leave? You're not even going to hang out in Dallas? Well, no, no, no.

We came in to pick up the car and see you guys. Oh, that's so nice. That's the big part. Well, I'd like to say congratulations and I'm really happy for you, but I am not. I am not. And that car should have been mine. Okay. So the next time you're driving around Tampa Bay and you're going across the Gandy Bridge,

you think of you. You think, oh, this is Jeffie's car. That's right. Hey, thank you very much. I appreciate it. guys were going to thank you for supporting for mercury one and thank you for supporting us and i really appreciate it and i'm so happy that someone who really uh knew it was going to happen and needed it for a great cause one uh instead of some don't like me but i mean it's wonderful i appreciate it

a thrill meeting all of you guys it's been great time i appreciate it very much thank you congratulations good people sometimes sometimes it makes you wonder whether being the good Samaritan works. You want to help people, right? I mean, people are hurt or you're in an accident, and you have to stop and help people. You just have to. So when a car in front of this man, Benjamin Davis,

swerves out of control, flipping into a ravine in Washington, D.C., he stops to help these people. He said, this one guy is hanging out the passenger. side door and unfortunately his friend was crushed in the crash. But he helps the survivor out, drags him out of the car and drags him to safety.

All right? Now, the guy, Davis, who lives in Baltimore, drives in D.C. every night. Go to work. So after, you know, the rescue people get there, the police get there, he saved this guy, he talks to the police, he tells him what happened.

He says, you can go. Go to work. You can go. Okay. So he goes. He gets about a block away and he gets pulled over by the D.C. police. The D.C. police say, hey, you're being detained because you are a witness to a vehicle where someone died in an accident. Yeah. Now, he didn't say this.

I would have said this. Yeah, I know. I already told your partners all of that. he was nicer. They made him wait for two hours. They questioned him again and again, like he was one of the, like he was the culprit.

Then they say, you know what? We're going to take your car because your car was part of this scene. So he wasn't involved in the crash. His driver's license is active. His car is registered and insured. They did not give him any citations, but they took,

they impounded his car. car because his car was parked wrong on the expressway where they had pulled him over to question him about the accident where he saved a man's life. And as of this story last night, the D.C. police have not commented on the story. I hope what happens is that this guy's car just shows up in front of his house with a little bow on it that says sorry, full tank of gas for you,

take care. Because that is one way to stop a lawsuit. If not, D.C. should be owned by this. That is embarrassing. Embarrassing. You know another thing that's embarrassing.

So I'm listening to Pat Unleash this morning and he plays this clip. What's it from? It's from him. NBC and that Stephanie rule And I love me and Stephanie rule is You when she's on You can't pull me away

And if I have to be away I mean DVR Me and Stephanie Like one So he plays this clip and he comments about it It's an agonizing clip All right Then I hear Glenn Beck

Play the clip later in the morning And he comments it because it's an agonizing clip Neither one of them Comment about the guy's comments. They all comment about her comments. All right.

So what she's talking about is the White House chief of staff shortlist on who they're going to pick from, right? And this is what she had to say. And I know, look, I know, I'm sorry for the politics. I'm sorry for the politics. I really am. But just this right here drives me insane. And it really isn't politics that I'm arguing about.

Okay? but the story is wrapped around a political story. So here's, what's her name again? Yeah, yeah, Stephanie, I go, she's slipped by mind. I mean, Stephanie than me. You and I talk about business all the time. Oh, yeah, that's Stephanie right there. That's a major position, and the six people that they have put out were shortlisted.

Go ahead, no, no, no. Are all white guys. I cannot think of one single public company right now that if they had an open senior position like that or a board seat, You would never in 2018 see that the short list. Okay, stop it right there. She's right. I want to stop it before this guy comments because she's right.

All right. In America today, if that were to happen, people would have a fit. They already are. No, there's no women. There's no black people. It's agonizing. Agonizing because it should be and always supposed to be the right person for the job. whether you're brown, black, blue, fat, thin.

I mean, fat, they don't really like fat people. I'm a prejudiced against, I get prejudiced against all the time. All of it. In fact, I should sue is really what I should do. Because I'm, anyway. So, she's right. But then the guy, do we know who the guy is that she's talking, that Stephanie's talking to?

Because I know Stephanie. Don't look down to me like I didn't know it was Stephanie Roone. Jeff Bennett. Okay, so Jeff Bennett says exactly what they fight against. Exactly everything. Stephanie and Stephanie lets it ride. And he's a black man. It's unbelievable.

Okay, here we go. Is one, two, three, four, five, six white guys. Right, even if you're not going to pick somebody else. Correct. Usually put him on the list just for them. Thank you. Right, even if you're not going to pick the guy. You usually just put him on the list.

That's exactly what they say That's exactly what they The people who say that we're all prejudiced Say Oh, you don't mean it You just put them on the list You don't mean it I'm wrong

I'm wrong That was not the black guy That was Velshi The co-host of the show that said that They've They made Stephanie get us Co-host Yes

Hold on What the hell When did this happen This pisses me off Okay, so this is not Jeff Bennett, though. All right, so Jeff, I apologize. All right, you're a good guy, I think. Maybe not, but I don't know.

Okay, so who is this? Is Velshi, her co-host? Velshi. I love Valshi. Ali Valshi. Ali Valshi. Love Ali Valshi. How long has he been with?

How long did they force him on his Stephanie? They started together. They've been together this entire time. Those bastards. They climb pyramids together. Jokes aside, seriously. This is what everyone complains about that even if they don't mean it, they just put you on the list. And that's what he said.

Or even they put you on the list. Yep. They're never going to pick the black guy. Not once. They just put them on the list. It's just for looks. Yeah. This is Ali Belchie who is co-host with Stephanie Ruhl.

That pisses me off that she's got a co-host. But go ahead. is one, two, three, four, five, six white guys. Right, even if you're not going to pick somebody else. Correct. Correct. Correct. Correct. Correct. She's not even listed to him. Not a word did she hear out of him. All she's thinking about is what her, they didn't pick a white guy. They didn't pick a black guy. It's only a white guy. Well, only white guys.

There's not an Asian. There's not a black guy. There's not a female. All white guys. Right. Even if you're not going to pick them, even if you're not going to pick a white guy or a dumb broad or some guy from Japan. You put him on the list. Right? Steph? I mean, that is agonizing. All right, I'm sorry, then. I have to take a deep breath now. If you live in Texas,

tonight, you might go dark just for a few seconds. Because, I don't know if you know this or not, but in Texas, we've got an execution happening tonight. And it's possible. Just for, you know, at the right time, you're going to hear and your lights are going to go dark. Texas is not its own power grid,

so it's not them. It's not me. I don't complain to me. And I have no idea why the lights will go dark since this guy's getting lethal injection. I have no idea why the, I don't know how the, that's some new juice that they're making

for the death row inmates that actually causes power shortages when they shoot it into your veins. weird. So this guy shot 25 years ago a newlywed who was attacked he and his wife on a jogging trail

and he killed him. Alvin Brazil Jr. He's the 24th inmate to put to death this year in the U.S. and 13th executed in Texas which by the way is the nation's busiest the capital punishment state. Thank you. I'm happy about that.

I got, look, if you do something horrific and And you've been found guilty of it. You know, people argue all the time that they shouldn't, you know, we shouldn't have the death penalty because what if it was wrong? Okay, well, this guy's been in jail since 1993. Okay. I think that's long enough. I think we've gone through all our ways to figure out whether he's actually the one or not.

In Texas, we found out that you don't get a last meal. In Texas, you get what they serve. They don't get the special deal. So one of our new sponsors here on the broadcast for chewing the fat, and I'm happy to have them on board. Well, instead of just, you know, I don't want to tell you the whole thing.

Delicious Last Meals, Home Cooking Style. So thank you for becoming one of our new sponsors here on Chewing the Fat. They actually like other restaurants that you've heard on this network. Like Heaton has his restaurant Snuffies, right?

Snuffies, right, to deliver your food on a horse. But the one thing about the Heaton's restaurant, whatever, I'm going to tell you a secret about Death Road Diner. Death Road Diner has some stuff you can order that's not on the menu. you just have to know about it. Snuffies doesn't have that. So like if you were to go in there and look at the menu, you heard them advertise some of their menu, but if you look at the menu, you go,

oh, that doesn't really sound good. Oh, wait. All right, you want to write these down when you go into Deathward dinner. You want to order, this is not on the menu, the Teresa Lewis. The Teresa Lewis. That deal, the Teresa Lewis meal is fried chicken,

peas and butter, apple pie, and a doctor pepper. All right? Now, that's a pretty good meal. That's not on the menu, but you can order it if you ask for the Teresa Lewis. You can order the Alan Lee Davis. Davis, the Allen Lee Davis is one lobster tail, fried potatoes, half a pound of fried shrimp, six ounces of fried clams, half a loaf of garlic bread, and 32 ounces of A&W root beer. That's not on the menu.

That's not on the menu, but Alan, look, they probably know if you just went on this, and you secretly said, yeah, I want the ALD. they'd know what you meant. And one last thing that's on the menu that a lot of people don't get. And I don't know why it sounds so good is the Victor Fueger. Victor, and we just call it the Victor. His meal was a single olive with a pit still in it. A lot of people don't order that, but that's not on the menu.

You can't get it. You can't get it. Now, Vic had these. had the single olive with a pit still in it because he had hopes that the pit would grow into an olive tree out of his body pretty sure pretty sure that it didn't happen

pretty sure that didn't happen that's possible though because he was hanged he wasn't fried he wasn't juiced so he was hanged although when you get hung a lot of things come out of your body So I'm guessing I could be wrong

That the olive with the pit still in it came out So the whole tree thing went down the drain I can't I can't I can't Thanks for listening Don't forget you can follow me on Facebook Jeff Fisher Radio And Instagram Jeff Fisher Radio
