And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.
Welcome to it.
It is Chewing the Fat.
Thank you for coming along for the ride.
So today, if you're listening live,
it is the 18th of August 2021.
And the R. Kelly trial is getting underway today.
Now, you say to yourself,
R. Kelly trial getting underway?
Yeah, it's a long-awaited second chance of justice
for these people that are up against R. Kelly.
You know R. Kelly, Robert Sylvester Kelly,
facing multiple counts, including racketeering
with underlying charges that include the sexual exploitation of children,
kidnapping, and sex trafficking women and girls.
He's pleaded not guilty, of course, to all charges.
And the previous trial in 2008 for state child pornography charges,
in Illinois, he was acquitted.
So opening arguments are today,
this trial is only expected to last six to eight weeks.
Wow.
So it's got 12 anonymous jurors,
seven men, five women, six alternates were selected last week.
They'll be the only members of the public
with an in-person view of the trial.
The judge, Judge Ann Donald,
ruled not to allow members of the public or media in the courtroom.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, of course.
Right.
Anyway, we have that to look forward to.
Yay!
Welcome to chewing the fat.
Is it chewing or chewing?
I said chewing.

slash jeffy so congratulations a good news for coloradoans is it coloradoans yeah that's fine uh the governor
has finally, finally,
rescinded an 1864 proclamation.
And I mean, it's good that he did this.
Okay, so the 1864 proclamation instructed residents of the state
to kill hostile Native Americans in the area.
Was that happening?
Was that actually going on in Colorado?
Was that an issue?
People were going around and saying,
I had to kill that one.
He was hostile.
It's what the 1864
proclamation says,
I had to do.
I mean, okay.
Let's, you know, all right, fine.
Whatever. I guess that
the second governor of Colorado
issued the policy,
warning that all hostile
Indians would be pursued and
destroyed if they opted
not to travel to
a number of government-controlled forts.
Now, we know that was an issue then, but it's not an issue now.
Okay, so they're gathered last, I think it was yesterday.
I don't know that it was going to say last week, but I think it was this week.
They gathered together, and the governor said, we're here on a very somber,
but also in some ways, celebratory day.
were finally addressing a wrong of the past.
Now, he was flanked by Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Ute tribal leaders.
He explained that the ordinance, despite being illegal, was never undone.
Okay.
The Cheyenne and the Arapaho, I can't say the Arapapo, the Arapopo's, Department of Education,
were lauded the Democratic governor's decision.
Now, some Colorado natives have expressed that this threat of death
will be removed and they can feel free from the burden of the Evans Proclamation.
Is it really a burden?
I mean, were you living your life every day concerned?
Were you?
Were you?
Well, thank the good Lord above.
and governor,
whatever his name is from Colorado,
Polis.
Thank him and the Lord
that you don't have to be worried anymore
about a proclamation from 1864.
Okay?
All right, good.
Be ready for the world
to be all over booster shots today
because the COVID
convention is taking place
Washington, D.C. today at the White House, and they're going to announce that most Americans
should get a booster eight months after they get the second shot, which I talked about already
on this show multiple times. But it's actually going to happen today. So we're going to make sure
that we see, all I've seen on every freaking news channel is the booster shots. I got it,
okay? We're all we already know. And by the way, just a reminder for those who are,
you that are concerned that I'm telling you right now, within two months from now,
they're going to come back and tell you that eight months is too long.
And they're going to say, yeah, because we want to stay out in front of it,
you're going to need to get it about four months.
They're going to cut that in half four to six months to get that booster shot.
Guaranteed.
And now they're asking the same questions that I was asking.
already.
About what?
I'm so pissed.
All I hear from people
and I'm watching the news
and I hear all these people,
did you hear about the booster shots?
You hear about the boosters shots?
You know what?
You as a subscriber to this show
when someone says,
did you hear about the boosters shots?
You could say, why yes.
Yes, I did.
Because chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher
has been on the cutting edge of this
and he's informed to me about it.
That's what makes.
the show that much better than all the other shows.
You can tell your friends that, okay?
Are we good?
Can I take a little bit right?
Can I go away from the booster shots?
And by the way, when did Jill?
I see Jill hobbling back to the White House from her vacation.
So now does Joe still have his boot on from when he tripped and fell chasing the dog?
Chasing the dog out of the shower?
Uh-huh.
So he had his boot on for a while.
Now Jill just had foot surgery.
What the hell is going on with the Biden feet?
Is that a genealogy thing?
Or I don't know.
I'm just asking.
I don't know.
I haven't seen a report of what was wrong with Jill's foot.
Was it, you know, she had gigantic corns.
I don't know.
I'm asking.
Was it because of the heels she had to wear for years?
I thought she was a runner.
They made her out to be this world-renowned runner before as the campaign was going on.
Oh, Grandma always goes out for a run.
And I mean, I just want to know what was wrong with her feet.
I want to know what was wrong with Jill's feet.
Because now she's hobbling around with her cast on and her crutch.
And she's only got the one crutch.
And it's on the opposite side of the wound or the surgery.
So maybe she uses two crutches or maybe I guess in today's world,
they probably wanted to put weight right on that thing.
Let's get you back up and walking right now.
so it doesn't lock up.
Let's get you into rehab and get you walk.
I mean, that's what they did after my knee replacement surgery, too.
They want you up, man.
They get up and moving.
Let's go.
Let's get it going.
We've got to keep it going.
And apparently, if I remember right, and this may have changed now because I haven't had
I'm due for another knee replacement surgery any day now,
that the first six months post-surgery, that's the movement you get.
So you want to be full rehabbed in that first six months
because after that, if you don't have whatever your movement is,
that's where you're at.
Okay.
I mean, I got you.
So if I don't do any rehab, then I'm just stuck right here, right?
Okay.
No problem.
You want to hand me that lighter over there because I need to fire up this bowl
and smoke a cigarette.
I mean, cigarette, cigarette.
That's what I need to do is fire up a cigarette.
Cigarette, yeah. Hit me a light, would you?
Oh, man.
But I wish this was true.
I wish that was true.
Well, as long as I'm buzzed, we might as well go to the break room and get something to drink and see if there's something to snack on too.
Oh, yeah.
So you ever see a headline?
We've talked about it.
I think we have talked about it before, where you see a headline and it actually catches your eye and then you realize, oh, so what?
So I see a headline this morning.
Alcohol-related deaths increased by 17% during the pandemic.
And then I'm like, holy cow.
And then it says it was, this is in Scotland.
I don't care.
I don't care.
So I moved on.
I'm not going to open the story now.
I mean, I just said, Scotland.
Why do I care about Scotland?
Another headline that I saw that I actually opened up because I was almost ready to say,
Yeah, I don't care.
But Megan Rapino or Rapino or whatever the hell her name is, you know, the soccer player.
The headline is, Mike Call it quits.
And I'm thinking, you know, let me know when she does.
Otherwise, what do I care?
But then I went, all right, I'll find out, you know.
And it just talks about her whether she's going to quit or not.
And she's deciding.
She's going to look into it because, you know, she just doesn't know yet.
She's been thinking a lot about it and she's not really sure.
She says, they always say, do they?
They always say, you'll know when you know.
Can I quote you on that, Meg?
You'll know when you know, but it's not really like that
because you could kind of keep going.
And it's like, oh, yeah, you've accomplished so much.
You'll be fine stepping away.
but the conversation is always anguish in your mind
or people just don't think about it
and I've been thinking about it a lot
I'm already done with Megan
I don't want to hear any more from her I don't care
you know what I think it's time for her to retire
she's like 36 now she's getting a little
long on the tooth out there on the old soccer field
at 36
so you know
just disappointed
and it couldn't have anything to do
with the news that came out earlier this week
from Hope Solo,
the former player that played with her
saying that Megan would bully other players
into kneeling onto the sideline.
And so now Megan's getting a little bad press
and feeling a little bit of the heat
to be in the bully.
And now that she's missed, you know,
fashion world
and has to try to sell her wares
out there in the free market.
How's that talk show on HBO going, by the way?
Oh, that's right.
They canceled that already after the one episode
or the one series.
Horrible.
She's looking for, you know, she needs a gig.
So unless somebody comes along and says,
hey, Meg, how about you,
I guess she could do the announcing for the soccer, right?
For the Olympics and the World Cups
and everything for the women.
She could do maybe a color.
She's got a big enough name for that.
that. Just quit. Go away. I don't even want to see or do that. I wanted to go back to
the hubby or the wife or whatever they call each other in the northeast. They live in Seattle.
I think that's where they live. And yeah, I'm pretty sure they live there.
Yeah. You know, in the northwest, northeast, northwest. Somewhere in the United States, that's where
they live. Don't start bogging me down with actual places, okay?
I said Seattle, you know what I meant, leave me alone.
Look, you'll know when you know.
I see where Carrie Underwood is under fire.
And she's under fire for something that is a today's world problem.
She liked a tweet from someone that people on the left don't like Matt Walsh.
she liked a Matt Walsh tweet
how dare you
I mean seriously
unbelievable it was about the mask mandates
in Nashville and she liked his tweet
oh my gosh
now some of the people
against Matt
and now
Carrie.
It's not just that Carrie Underwood
liked an anti-mask
tweet. It's that
Carrie Underwood liked an anti-mask
tweet from
Matt Walsh.
One of the most
negligently
historic voices on the
topic of protecting kids
from COVID.
Yeah, because Matt just wants everybody to die.
He wants his kids. He wants
the wife. He wants everybody just to drop
over dead from COVID.
Author and
progressive pastor, John
Pavolitz. Pavolitz?
Pavolvitz?
John, I don't go to John's church.
I'm not sure. He likes to be called
Pastor P. or Pastor Pavillich.
Took a shot at the
Jesus Take the Wheel Singer
saying, Carrie Underwood, being a
God over science person, is the least
surprising thing I've heard today.
Delta take the wheel.
Give me a break.
And one of the other reality stars, Andy Heron from Big Brother.
I haven't seen the latest episode of Big Brother, so I may have missed Andy.
But she said, Kelly Clarkson has always been our best American Idol winner and will always
be our best American Idol winner.
F. Carrie Underwood.
Now, first of all, I don't necessarily disagree with that sentiment.
However, Kelly being the best.
I mean, I like some of Kelly stuff, no question.
And I like some of Kerry's stuff, too.
But I don't know if I think Kerry is probably been more successful than Kelly.
In the music industry.
Now, Kelly's, you know, big TV talk show star now, making all kinds of cash.
And we've talked about her divorce and what's happening there and the money that she's making.
And she's getting ready to sign a new deal, huge new deal for that talk show, man.
She's going to be raking in some cash.
That's why she's dumping hubby right now.
Blackstone's getting rid of him, giving him.
He's getting like $195,000 some thousand dollars a month.
I don't know if he's going to be able to get by on that.
But part of that deal was is that he was going to,
not get money from her for the ranch in Montana.
Kelly does not like that ranch in Montana.
That's something that he wanted,
and she's been against that from the beginning of this divorce, man.
She said she wouldn't pay for it.
And according to the reports, if I remember, right,
it was like $80-some thousand dollars a month to keep the ranch running.
Okay, so, and Kelly was adamant,
adamant that she was not going to pay for the ranch.
So she's going to pay like 150,000 in some kind of support a month
and then another 40-something for the kids' education and stuff.
So, I mean, he still could pay for the ranch out of that.
It's just not specifically earmarked for the ranch.
But I see now where Kelly is saying,
I'm going to sell the ranch.
I'm dumping that place.
You like it?
I didn't want it to begin with.
We're selling it.
Get rid of it.
Divorce is a beautiful thing.
Just ask Melinda Gates.
I mean, their divorce just got fine.
We talked about that.
I see where the daughter was posting a happy birthday to her mom this past weekend.
And my mom is a hero.
I found it fascinating.
And that's fine.
And she's taking a picture with your dad.
And divorce sucks for all people involved, including the children.
So even though they're adults now.
Now, you know, they're still their mom and dad.
So, I mean, you've got to try to give as much love to each one as you can when you're out with them.
But I see where they talked about what Melinda is getting.
Now, we talked about Bill already transferring.
I think it was around $5 billion, something like that that Melinda's already got in movie.
I mean, you better be getting a little bit more than that.
Bill better start
Transcuren a few more than 5 billion
If I'm her
I'm saying the bank account isn't quite right there Bill
Perhaps you want to transfer something else
Because 5 billion ain't enough
Brough
Now he's not paying
According to this story and some of the other stories that I read
He's not paying
Specific spousal support
and she's not changing her name
and they're still going to try to work together
at the foundation
and Bill
is still going to
finance that through the foundation
and the philanthropic work
is still going to do that
separate from the divorce
but
if I'm Melinda
again
5 billion is not going to cut it
bill. I'm okay right now. I've got the new place in town and the kids are still coming around
and I'm feeling relaxed and everything's okay. But, ooh, e, five billion. I mean, I, I've got some things
I want to do and this is not going to cut it. So you know what's going to cut it? About
50 or 60 more of those billions is going to cut it.
Okay?
So how about you cut whatever you think you're worth in half
and send it this way?
Okay?
And by the way, Melinda, if you need a hand, call me.
I'm here for you.
And don't look at me like that with your all.
It's using over $5 billion.
At some point you made so much money.
At some point you made too much money.
And people can't live on that.
she's become accustomed to a specific lifestyle.
Okay?
And you can't be expected to not live that lifestyle once you've become accustomed to it.
So, I mean, I got it.
Five billion seems like enough money for someone to live on.
But not if you've been accustomed to living off of $100 billion.
if you've been accustomed to living off 100 billion,
$5 billion, you're lucky to get lunch.
I mean, look, I realize, I realize, oh, I could just give me a million.
I'd be happy with that, would you?
Because I think not.
If you, you know, if you've been struggling all your life and you get a million bucks
and, you know, now you're living large.
But then you realize...
You know, if I had two million, I could buy the other land that's a company in mine,
and that would be even better.
So I've got to find a way to get more than just the million I have now.
You know, if I could get five more million,
then I could actually live the life I want to live.
So don't be looking at me like that.
Melinda needs more than that paltry five million.
I spit on that five billion.
that Bill's trying to give to her.
When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners,
I started wondering,
could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list?
Like this designer fragrance for my daughter.
At just $39.99?
How could I resist?
This luxurious will throw for my sister.
This gold watch for my partner?
A wooden puzzle for my niece?
Leather gloves for my boss?
Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard?
At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners?
Stop wondering.
Start gifting.
Winners find Fabulous for Less
So I see where Stonehenge
has been tested for what it's made of
And remember the story we did
Oh man, I don't even know how long ago
About the guy in Florida that had the rod
That was drilled out of Stonehenge
I should, you know, a good host would go back
And find the story and tell it to you
but you remember.
So I can't remember if the guy had,
it was his company or if it was one of his family members' companies
and they were a geological company.
I think it was a German company.
And they went and they drilled multiple rods out of Stonehenge.
And I think it was, I mean, I want to say that it was,
it was like half a dozen or so, but it might have only been two.
But he had it.
And he had it.
He just kept it.
And he has been living in Florida.
And he decided.
I guess he was getting old and he's had it for all these years and he decided that he was going to give it to the Stonehenge Society or, you know, whatever they call themselves, the stoners.
And so he gave it to him and they studied it.
They did a study out of and they found that Stonehenge is made of rock.
No, they say that it's made of nearly indestructible ancient material.
Okay, sure, no problem.
So I guess that this is
understanding the mysterious prehistoric structure
and the core sample taken from one of the site's massive slabs
suggests that the stone's geochemical composition
may have made it uniquely well equipped to stand the test of time.
All right, take that cut again.
I want to run that through.
If we're doing a documentary, we've got to take that.
I said that wrong, okay?
The core sample taken from one of the site's massive slabs
suggest that the stone's geochemical composition
may have made it uniquely well equipped to stand the test of time.
That's good enough.
Take that.
If you need that cut again, call me back.
We'll do that.
It's made from 99.7% quartz crystals,
which I'm guessing, and I'm not a G-L,
but I'm just saying that I'm guessing that's rock.
But I don't know that.
I don't know that.
Okay, so the stones are practically indestructible,
according to the journal plus one, PLOS one?
Sure.
I love that journal, and I subscribe to it,
and it comes in my mailbox whenever it comes out.
So now we've got a good idea why this stuff is still standing there,
according to the professor of physical geography at the University of Brighton.
The stone is incredibly durable.
It's really resistant to erosion and weathering.
That's because it's rock.
So the study was made possible.
Oh, yeah, the guy was a diamond cutter, Robert Phillips.
See how he died last year.
That's right.
I told he was getting old.
He was getting ready to die.
That's why he gave it back to the Stonehenge people.
And he did repair work on it.
In 1950, that's right.
I remember the stupid story now.
Like I said, you don't need to worry about that.
Just you remember the story.
Don't worry about it.
So when it was done, that's right.
He kept one.
And he just stuffed it in his back pocket and walked away
with this piece of Stonehenge.
And then he's decided, well, you know what?
Go ahead, take it back.
And they went ahead and studied it,
and they realized Stonehenge made completely of rock.
So I'm glad that we studied that, man.
We are good.
It's that indestructible ancient material rock.
As long as we're speaking about rocks,
NASA is saying that the ingenuity helicopter is about to take its 12th flight over, you know, the red planet Mars, the Martian surface.
And it's taking 12 flights now already.
That's a lot more than they originally had planned on, that's for sure.
But they're saying that this particular flight has substantial risk.
But don't they all have that?
No. No, no, no, no.
This is completely different.
It's already exceeded expectations,
and we are just overseeing this Mars mission,
and we're happy that we've exceeded expectations,
but four months after becoming the first aircraft
to achieve powered flight on another planet that we document,
all right?
We know that there are other people on Mars.
Hello.
the Galactic Federation is based there.
I heard someone on coast to coast last week
mentioned that he's seen photos of other vehicles on the planet
coming from the Mars helicopter rover ingenuity stuff.
So, hello.
Anyway, the 4-pound 19-inch-tall helicopter
has taken 10 more flights of increasing
complexity and they are going to, you know, wrap it up here pretty soon with their flights.
When you look at where, you know, where they landed and how they've flown around, it's almost like,
what? What are you talking about? It's just a little helicopter flying around on another planet.
But if you want to say that it's great, all right, go ahead.
More space news as well. I might just stick with the headline on this one because this is,
one of those stories that I
like the headline
and then I start reading it and I'm not
I'm almost like okay
you know whatever you say
so the headline is
light detected
behind a black hole for the first
time light detected
behind a black hole
for the first time
and I'm like okay
great
do I need the details
no I don't
I don't I don't I'm not a
I'm not a rocket scientist.
I'm not a space scientist.
I know the difference between dust and a rock,
but I don't need to know.
But apparently what's happened is that they normally detect light around the black hole,
and then it disappears as it goes into the black hole.
The black hole eats it and it goes to nothing.
But apparently they've found light coming from inside of the black hole.
okay
so if that's the case
um
yeah like
from behind it
light detected
behind a black hole
which is inside it
no no not inside behind
I don't want to bog you down with science facts
and as long as we're talking about space
I see where Jeff Bezos has
continued to keep his panties in a wad.
He's all wound up.
He's finally taken a blue origin, and he's taken NASA's moon program to federal court.
So he's doubling down on his accusations that the agency wrongly evaluated its lunar
lander proposal.
Elon got it, and I did it.
Elon got it, and I did it, and I've been to space.
And so I need the contract, okay?
But Jeff, Elon's been doing stuff for us, and he's offered to even build the suits and stuff.
And he's been taking stuff and launching, and he's got his whole city going,
I'm in space.
And I get to do it.
Elon's bad.
All right, Jeff.
Go ahead and take us to court.
You got it.
No problem.
It's okay.
Speaking to Elon, too, I'm waiting for my invite.
I'm waiting for my invite.

So last week, I am telling you about the Union Pacific Steam schedule.
And, you know, the big boy number 4014 that departed from Cheyenne, Wyoming on August 5th,
and it's traveling through Arkansas and Colorado and Kansas and Illinois and Louisiana and Missouri.
Speaking of Missouri, too, just as a side note, my ADD is kicking in.
I read something today about Missouri that I did not know.
And we're going to get into that at some point on this program because I was like, really?
I mean, you learn something every day.
You know what they say?
You'll learn something new every day.
Anyway, so the train was Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming.
Okay, so it was supposed to be in Denton, Texas, which is in my neck of the woods.
And it's going to be, it was in Fort Worth on Saturday, supposedly.
And so, but Friday, the 13th, was coming through Denton, Texas, which is, you know,
I'd rather see it plow through Denton, Texas that hang out in Fort Worth for the day at the steam engine.
and so
and it went to all these different cities
and we had fun with the train horns
and I played the whole litany
of different train horns
like this one
here for you Jeffrey
Okay just to be specific
that's not a train horn
I appreciate the truckers out there
I love you you know that I do
but it ain't a train horn
we did play a couple of trucker horns
though on my train horn day
on Friday.
So we went through the horns.
Anyway, so I find, and then I realized that Friday night, I realized,
crap, I forgot to go to the train.
We recorded here, and then I got home, and, you know, one thing leads to another,
and the next thing I know, it's Friday night, and I was, I forgot to go to the train.
Well, I find out that my producer,
Chris Corby.
Hello.
Decided to go see the train in Denton, Texas, apparently looking for me.
And I didn't go, so he couldn't find me.
I'll teach him.
So how was it?
Well, we ended up sitting in the heat for about two hours and giving up and going to get dinner.
It didn't show up?
It was delayed due to track congestion north of town.
By multiple hours?
Yeah.
Did it now?
So did it show up at all?
I mean, holy cow, you went to dinner so a couple hours.
Did you see it?
I saw a video of it.
It went through town when we were eating dinner.
That is awesome.
That's awesome.
And now, to be honest, had I been there, I would have been to dinner too.
Now, we've got to wait for it to go by.
Nah, we're going.
I need a hot roast beef sandwich right now, okay?
And you know what?
And go ahead.
I don't want the mashed potatoes.
I want the fries and put the gravy on the fries.
Anyway, not that I was ordering.
And I am really hungry right now, by the way.
Anyway, so you saw a video.
Saw video.
How did you see?
this video. Well, we went back to get my car. I was with a friend. Back to get my car for we got
dinner. Okay. And someone was still there who had been there when the train finally did come
through. Okay, nice. And he showed me a video of it coming through the crossing and it was
blowing the steam horn. Well, you guys left. I told you not to leave. Check it out. Yeah, pretty much.
So did it, I mean, it blew the, blew the horn. It came through chugging up the hill. It was
really spectacular and I completely missed it. That's awesome. Now I'm really pissed. Now I'm really
You know what?
I'm not, though, because I would be so angry that it didn't show up.
Well, it did you know, it was late.
Two hours or more?
They're making you wait.
And then, to top it off,
tell me if I'm wrong.
I guarantee.
Because they were supposed to stop.
Right?
They were going to stop in Denton for a while.
And then they were going to go into Fort Worth
because they had to spend most of the day,
the following day in Fort Worth.
So did they even stop in Denton?
Because if they're that far behind,
they're just rolling through with the engineer holding out a sign going,
screw you, we're late.
Well, they were supposed to stop for about 30 minutes.
I think they stopped for five to ten and then got on their way.
Oh, my gosh.
So they did stop.
So they could get away with technically saying,
we stopped.
We just didn't stop the full length of the full amount of time.
Okay, so were there a lot of people out there?
Oh, it was jam-packed.
What?
There were cars lining up and down the road.
I'd like to, I mean, by the, for all you people that are showed up because of chewing the fat, thank you.
I appreciate it.
Bless your hearts.
I'm sorry I didn't show up and do a live appearance at the steam engine pulling through Dent, Texas.
The old Union Pacific Steam schedule.
So really, seriously, thousands?
Oh, yeah.
It was jam-packed.
There were 25 people just at the crossing we were at.
We were outside of town.
Now you stood back away from the crossing like you were told to.
Yes, of course.
I definitely did not go on the tracks.
Okay.
Did you stand back at least 25 feet?
Sure.
All right.
Were you sure not to trespass on private property?
Hey, I didn't see any no trespassing signs.
That is awesome.
I'm so bad that I didn't.
that I forgot about it.
But on the other hand,
I'd be even madder
that it was late.
It didn't show up.
It showed up, Jeff.
No, I would have been to dinner
and then missed it.
It would have been really pissed.
It's all right.
The burger was pretty good.
Oh, it wasn't a hot roast beef sandwich?
That was a delicious burger.
Oh, man.
Okay, so I talked about
learning something new about Missouri.
And I had not known this.
Now, I've been all over the state of Missouri.
And you know, my son went to the University of Missouri.
I've been in Columbia.
I love the state of Missouri.
I'm a fan.
Okay, so I'm, we did the Colorado story where they have rescinded the 1864 proclamation,
instructing residents to kill hostile Americans.
And we started the show off with that, which gets you to the Missouri days of being able to kill a Mormon,
right?
And their Missouri executive order 44, the extermination order that was issued October, October 2,000,
27th, 1838.
All right. And that wasn't,
that was good until
1976.
Okay. You could
kill it. You couldn't
really. Okay. I know that
everybody's, I feel like the Mormons
are like the Indians in Colorado
where they were like, well, it was
still on the books. And somebody
could have done it. I know. But
it really wasn't happening
anymore. We were
past that, right? But
So as we read the story, and it's talking about them going through Illinois, being forced out of Illinois, and Joseph Smith being murdered in Carthage, Illinois.
And then it talks about Missouri and how Joseph Smith, and I never knew this.
And I thought, is that true?
So prophet Joseph Smith believed that the Garden of East.
Eden was in northwest Missouri, and that when Christ returns at the second coming, it will be in northwest Missouri.
I did not know that.
Now, I will say that I've been a lot of places in the state of Missouri, and there's some
beautiful places, gorgeous places.
I haven't seen what I thought would be the Garden of Eden.
that's just me
I don't know
maybe I'm wrong
maybe I'm wrong
but I just look that's what he believed
and he's the man right
I mean he founded him
he's the grand poohba
of them all
so
I'm just saying I never knew
that Missouri was the
North what I would say
Northwest Missouri
was the Garden of Eden
according to
the prophet Joseph Smith
and that when the second coming happens,
it will happen in northwest Missouri.
It's good to know.
Good to know for sure.
All right, so how many of you have seen the new Talking Dead,
I mean the new Walking Dead show on AMC Plus?
I'm really tempted, man.
It dropped this past Sunday.
If you love Walking Dead,
or my new Talking Walking Dead podcast with Jason
and my son Maximus is up,
and you can leave.
listen to it. We gave a little preview of the latest season. It's the beginning of the end,
season 11 of Talking Dead. And we also, we talked a little bit on the podcast, and I've talked a
bunch about it, where if you're a Walking Dead fan, that Rick needs to come back. And they most
definitely need to bring him back. The fans now aren't real sure who he is. They're working on
the movies. It's all part of the universe. They need to reintroduce him as the strong.
character again in Walking Dead. Well, I got an email that begins, hello, Jeffie. That's how the email
started. Huh. That's the chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Listening to Talking Walking
Dead podcast, and I want to share something that I feel you would find very interesting.
Well, thank you. Thank you. It's a good way to send an email when you have information that
people do you think would find interesting. I live in Virginia.
near where beyond is filmed.
That's one of those two seasons of World Beyond.
I was working as an extra on the show this past summer and was filming while it was
filming here.
While on my way to get my COVID test, we had to pass two COVID tests to be a lot of
the set.
Yeah.
I saw someone that I swear looked exactly like Rick Grimes, aka Andrew Lincoln.
I had to stop and talk with the man who I,
if I didn't know better, was Andrew Lincoln.
Come to find out, it was Andy Lincoln's stand-in.
I asked him if he was working on Beyond.
He answered that he's been working on Beyond, fear, and TWD.
In other words, he was a stand-in for Rick on set while in Virginia on Beyond on Fear and Walking Dead.
so that means that Rick is coming back
or he's just one of the guys they call up to be a walker
that they need him and he's just
nobody knows that he's the Rick stand in
as he's got blood coming out of his stomach as a walker
and he's just one of those guys
that he's just he's Rick stand in
and he's the walker every time we have a walker
that has guts pouring out of his stomach
or a brain getting shot to hell
I mean that's possible too
but
nope that's not possible
damn it
this is inside information
on Rick coming back
so you heard it here first
and you'll hear it again on Monday
when a special talking walking dead
after the
episode one of season 11
actually airs on
AMC proper
not that
pesky internet app
thing that people have
are you recording
on The Blaze podcast and television network?
Oh, that's an internet app thing too, isn't it?
Oh, man.
Weird how that happens.
