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.

Blaze Radio Network
And now
Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher
So apparently
Wyoming is up for sale
Everybody is selling their property in Wyoming
And it all comes from
Divorce
What's her face
Kelly Clarkson
Got to go ahead from the judge
To sell her property
Through the divorce
Because that was a place for
Her and Hubby
And Hubby really wanted it
Yeah hubby really wanted it
Until she's going to be paying for it
after the divorce.
So new I'm going to be selling it.
But we find out now that Kanye, or Ye, as he likes to be called,
and it's not official yet, although he's attempting to make it official,
is selling his property in Wyoming.
He wants out now too.
Amazing.
So his Monster Lake Ranch went on the market for $11 million.
Property sprawls across six square miles of,
open land and tree studded hills and outcrops about six miles south of Cody.
The property features a lodge, a commercial kitchen, equipment sheds, a horse facility,
corrals, and a go-car track.
Yay!
Now, the listing came days after West listed his seven commercial properties in Cody.
So he's trying to dump the ranch and do that.
dump anything he had to do in Cody. He's had enough of Wyoming. I'm out. Have a nice day. I bought
this to get away from Kim. Now I don't have to. I'm away from her. She's gone. We're done.
It's over. So, you know, congratulations. Good luck to Kanye. And I hope it works out for them.
And if you are looking, if you thought to yourself, you know, you know, we should maybe move to Wyoming.

Okay, so we know now that,
that there's an average of 36% of the U.S. workforce is back in the office now, as of last week.
Ten major cities, that's according to the last study by Castle Systems of the 10 major cities.
So it's the largest share of workers going into the office since the beginning of the pandemic.
So I guess we are post-pandemic now.
Right? I don't know that there's, I mentioned it this morning on Pat.
I don't think we have another variant, really.
We talked about that R1, and I think there's a couple of minor ones that have showed up variants from the Delta and the, what's the alpha?
Right?
Was Delta and Alpha?
I guess.
Yeah, something like that.
But there's no major one now anymore, right?
The rest of the are just, oh, that's just another little variant.
Don't worry about it.
But nothing big.
They're struggling to hang on to what's happening.
And football season has not helped that for sure.
I mean, people are seeing stadiums full of people.
And there's a few people wearing masks in the stadium.
Very few, though.
However, we have all that.
And yet we still have 4.3 million people
who claim to have quit their jobs in August.
That's what the Labor Department said.
I mean, that's a pretty big,
number. It's 3% of the workforce and they're mostly quitting from restaurants, bars, and hotels.
Then 700, according to this, 721,000 left retail gigs. 7606,000 ditched their jobs in professional business services and 534,000 in healthcare and social assistance.
So jobs are plentiful. We hear it all a time.
there's a labor shortage, but nobody's working.
Why is that?
We're talking about backlogs of deliveries.
I think what's his face?
You know, the president of the United States, Biden.
I think he's meeting with some of the big leaders today,
talking about all the backlogs in deliveries,
backlogs in shipping.
Oh, okay.
what's that going to do
companies are saying well we're going to go to
24 hours a day seven days a week
if you don't have
people working
what does it matter that you have the lights on
we're open 24 7
the machines are up and running
where are the people
well we can't find workers
but we're open 24 7
and I don't know how much more you can pay them
I know what's his face, the president, Biden, pay them more.
Oh, okay.
I mean, how much is more?
What's more?
What's going to get you back into work?
We heard from FedEx not long ago that they're rerouting hundreds of thousands of packages a day
just to get them delivered because they can't find enough work at a number of their warehouses.
So, you know, get a job.
Get a job.
That's the motto.
be what's his face's motto from now, you know, the president, Biden.
This would be his motto from now on.
America, get a job.
Or I guess you could just sue somebody.
I see where the Democratic New Mexico governor, Michelle, how do you pronounce the name,
Lujan, L-U-J-A-N, she's a governor of one of our great states here in the United States of America,
I think that's right.
Michelle Lujan.
She is now settling her crotch grab complaint for 150 grand.
So, I mean, look, for 150 grand,
if the Gov wants to spill a little coffee on me
and then reach down and, you know, do a little grabbing,
okay, I'm up for that.
Wait, no.
I mean, I'm okay with that.
But apparently she's settling this lawsuit because they found out because of her financial documents that they broke into because it's a sexual harassment claim.
Oh, okay.
So what actually happened?
Well, she poured a bottle of water on this guy's crotch in front of other staffers during a meeting and then grabbed his genitals through his clothes.
while she laughed.
I'm not laughing.
I'm not laughing.
That's horrific.
Just horrific.
I can't.
I think it's horrible.
So in today's world, the governor?
I mean, in an open meeting?
Come on now.
That's, I don't know.
What's the word I'm looking for?
Dumb?
At least you do something like that when you're alone,
so you're able to have a little,
a little,
that didn't happen.
That guy's making it up.
But you got people that, you're in an open meeting?
Oh my goodness gracious.
So apparently, according to the filings, she scheduled payments of $87,500 between April and September,
bringing the grand total to $150,000.
So I guess she made a couple of payments to the guy equaling $150,000.
And she has denied the claims.
She was in this big meeting.
I mean, so now at least people are saying, well, no way.
We saw it.
There's more than one.
So you got to, do you believe the governor or do you believe, you know, an office full of people?
Everybody's not getting $150,000 that I know of.
I mean, is she paying off everybody in the meeting?
I'm just saying as horrific as that is.
And it is horrific.
if the governor looking for somebody to have a meeting with, call me.
So Gabby is still in the news.
She is still dead.
Don't shake your head.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I don't mean I'm sorry that she's dead.
The boyfriend, while it looks like he did it, we can't find him.
Where is he?
is he just is he just wandering the woods we can't find him we got little kids wandering off after a couple days they find them they can't find this guy
so i don't know what's happening is he you know it's obviously it's been surmised that he is no longer alive
that he you know has taken his own life but i don't know i think he's out just you know wandering around
the appellation trail bumming cigarettes off of people
and someday he'll turn up.
I don't know, we'll see.
But, you know, the coroner announced, you know,
the details of her body or death,
and it's considered a homicide,
which, you know, backs the initial autopsy results.
And he said that they determined she died by strangulation.
But, you know, that's it.
That's what you're getting from the coroner.
The coroner isn't, you know, Quincy.
D-da-d-d-d-d-d-an.
Another tremendous seven.
Was that a 70-s show?
Probably, yeah.
Quincy.
That had a great open, too.
Where's the Quincy sounder?
Yeah, that reminds me.
Now I'm looking at the Quincy feed.
That's right, the Quincy actually has a feed.
And the Quincy theme song.
And when you watch the open for the show,
it scans the coroner's office or, you know,
the room where they...
Cut up the bodies.
And it goes to the big mirror, which they zoom in on,
and then it turns into the cue for Quincy.
And you see Jack Klugman there?
Oh, yeah.
We scan in.
Come on.
There we go.
Into the mirror.
Q.
Oh, yeah.
Then he puts the seat back over the body,
and the one guy passes out.
There he goes.
Ah!
That's awesome.
Just terrible.
Tell me.
Tell me that, I mean, come on.
Canon makes this.
This is a big hit for Jack Klugman, though.
What's this another?
Who did this?
That doesn't say.
Look at that Quincy.
I was just looking at how many episodes he has.
148 episode.
Jack Klugman made a little bit of cash off Quincy, man.
Yeah, that's right.
From the 70s into the 80s.
Yeah, by the 80s though, Jack was still, you know,
the single.
medical examiner
Quincy M.E.
Investigating cases.
He lived on a boat, right, Quincy?
The Quincy live on a boat?
I think he did.
I think he lived on a boat.
And then who was the one that lived in a camper
in the parking lot?
Oh, that was a trapper.
Trapper John MD.
Trapper John.
He lived in a camper
on the parking lot of the hospital.
So just remembering old TV shows.
But that theme song, come on now.
Canon is like world-class hit compared to the Quincy theme.
I mean, please.
Where was I?
Oh yeah, Brian Landry.
We don't know where he is.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink desperately.
Oh, oh, that's pop nice.
That's a deal.
that's you know what that's a diet dr pepper now you tell me the sound of the diet dr pepper can
if they become a sponsor of chewing the fat it sounded wonderful but they're not a sponsor so
it didn't pop nice you can quote me on that still pretty darn good though still pretty darn good
so this story i've been you know i've always wanted if you're going to be
build your own home. If you're going to build your own home, don't you want a big shower so you and
your wife can shower, you know, like the, maybe a shower that's for two or two, at least two people
with shower heads that clean you. I mean, you want a car wash shower. And you want to be able to
walk in. Like, you know, you don't, you don't have to have the big closed door because you want to
walk in from one end and the showerheads and blasters are down at the other end. So, you know, you walk
I hate having to open and close
sliding doors and stuff is just
agonizing. And then
you want in your
you know for the
if you're building your own house
you want a urinal
and you want
a
toilet
with perhaps a
maybe more than one.
You know a couple of toilets and a
bidet
and, you know, a couple of sinks, and then you're good, right?
And now, do you want the toilets separate, like in separate stalls or rooms in your bathroom,
or do you want them, you know, just a wide open bathroom?
Because I'm listening to a podcast called Why Won't You Date Me?
No, I wasn't listening.
That's just Megan Traynor was on a podcast called Why Won't You Date Me?
and I'm sorry that I have not listened to it yet.
But she was, according to the headline,
superstar Megan Trainor.
It's all about the bass, Megan Trainor.
So I don't know that she's done anything great,
but it lists her as a singer-songwriter,
television personality, so congratulations.
Anyway, she was discussing on this podcast
about her bathroom details with her,
husband. And she talked about how they were building their new home and how, you know, they have their
baby now. And she said, nobody knows this. But in our bathroom, there was one toilet. And a lot of
time in the middle of the night, when we're with the baby, we've got to pee. And so I was like,
can we please have two toilets next to each other? And so,
they got two toilets.
I mean, you know, hubby was like,
well, sure, Megan.
Oh, you know, what are you going to say?
No, of course.
And so they have it together.
Now, in her podcast interview,
we, they talked,
her brother was on the podcast too.
I, you know, Ryan, I guess, you know,
Ryan is a great guy.
Love Ryan, the brother to Megan,
superstar, singer, songwriter,
Megan Traynor.
He was on there too.
And he said,
you guys are a bunch of weirdos.
Yeah.
Okay.
Because she talked about how they absolutely have,
you know,
gone number one multiple times together.
But they have only gone number two
a couple of times together.
I think she said in the podcast,
why don't you date me?
I believe she said
that they've only done it
twice.
So,
I don't know that I'm up for that.
I want to be clear about that.
I don't know that I'm up for that.
Because that's my time.
That's my time.
Oh, geez.
What did I say?
Chris Corby, what did I say?
I'm just wondering,
are they like side by side
so you can hold hands?
Are the twins facing each other?
How is this laid out?
It doesn't say, but I'm guessing they're side by side.
So do you hold hands then when you're doing?
Well, yeah, she was saying that they got into this
because they were in the middle of the night
and they want to hold the baby.
So it's like, here you take the kid,
so they're able to go to the bathroom together
and toss the kid back and forth.
What a good time for the kid, huh?
Then I'm a crib?
I guess not.
No, I guess not.
I guess not
Yeah, I was just
Say no to that
I'm okay with the two toilets
I love that idea
I do I love that
I love the idea of the two
You know the badees and the walk-in showers
And the urinals
Oh you gotta have a urinal
If you're gonna build the home
Put in the urinal
But
Side by side where you can hold hands
I'm gonna say no
I'm gonna say no baby
For those of you listening live today, the 13th of October 2021,
you are now going to be able on your Twitter accounts,
my Twitter account is at Jeffrey JFR.
You are now going to be able to, well, I'll say what Twitter calls it.
They say there's a new level of control when it comes to managing followers.
So you're going to be able to remove followers
manually
without blocking them.
Why would you want to do that?
I don't understand.
The point of being,
see what they're trying to make it
so that it's not all about the base.
Oh wait,
was that I make a train here again?
It's not all about the likes
and the retweets and the followers.
Yes, it is.
That's the point of it.
Why do you think we have,
it went viral?
Every platform has it.
It's insane.
The point of having a platform
is to have followers.
So why do you want,
blocking them?
Maybe I understand.
I kind of like,
I like muting them.
You know,
you know,
you have the call,
you can mute them.
I don't do that.
I want to,
I don't care.
I want to see.
I don't care.
I really don't.
I just,
you know,
I've,
there's plenty of hate stuff.
There's plenty of other stuff.
adult stuff that comes through.
Sure, I delete it when it's done.
Absolutely.
You can't.
Man, that's why I'd want to stop a,
get rid of a follower when there's followers are sending me stuff
because you can't tag people in tweets
if you're not a follower of them.
Wait, what?
Yes, you can.
I don't understand.
That doesn't make, I don't get why that's a thing,
but now anyone can trim on.
unwanted followers by going to their profile, clicking followers, then clicking that three dot icon and selecting remove follower.
What it doesn't say, though, is if I remove you, are you able to come back and follow me again?
So if I remove you and I go, hey, I thought I was following that guy.
And then I go back to follow him.
does it say,
Jeffrey, JFR removed you.
He doesn't want you as a follower, loser,
or am I able to follow that person again?
And then I have to keep going back and,
anyway, I thought I already told you,
I didn't want to follow you.
I have to keep on my followers like that.
That would make me mad.
I want at least to like a 30-day window.
Oh, if I delete you,
I don't want you to be able to follow me.
for at least 30 days.
So if I go back in and follow Jeffrey JFR,
and that guy, he pisses me off.
If I go back in and he's dumped me,
I want to be able to just not be able to have it happen for 30 days.
Just, why can't I follow him?
That bastard dropped me.
I mean, you'd know right then, right?
So, again, I can't figure out why you'd want.
want to do this. I really can't. It doesn't make any sense to me. Why someone would want to do it.
If you, if you know a reason why, email me. Chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
Because I, okay, so according to this, some users resorted to a workaround called a
soft block, which entailed blocking an abusive user, which removed that.
person from the list of followers, then unblocking them according to TechCrunch.
I mean, abusive followers.
If you get that butt hurt from a tweet or an Instagram post, or a TikTok post,
or a Facebook post, or a parlor post, or a gab post, or a gab post,
or whatever little social media account you're on,
you need to get over it.
That's seriously, you're the one with the problem.
I don't understand.
I see my daughter.
Start and my wife too now that I think about it.
They start to get butt hurt.
And I'm like, stop.
Stop.
A, you're barking up the wrong.
tree over here if you want me to start feeling bad because i don't okay here's what you do here and i'll even
demonstrate for you here on chewing the fat i'll demonstrate what you do all right you've got your
handheld device in your hand like you're like it's supposed to be held and you read something that you go
i can't believe that now do you respond do you do you do you
Do you block?
Do you cancel that follower?
Or do you go, push the back button,
set the phone down, walk away.
It's just that easy.
It's the matcha or the three ensemble
Cadocephora of the fates that I've been to deniches

On link on Cifora.ca or in magazine.
Okay, so our girl, Demi Lovado,
told Australia's pedestrian TV
that she believes the term aliens
is a derogatory one.
I think that we have to stop calling them aliens
because aliens
is a derogatory term for anything.
Now, was she talking about the Haitians
coming across the border?
Was she talking about
the actual Mexicans
coming across the border?
The actual Guatemalans
coming across the border? Well, kind of.
But she was specifically
talking about
extraterrestrials.
We can't call them aliens anymore.
It always connotes,
this is Demi talking now,
it always connotes
foreignness
which is, well,
alienating. So I think
Demi may be microdosing again.
Maybe she's up the dosage on the
microdosing, but she's of course
promoting her new alien show
on Peacock
called unidentified.
So good for her.
And congratulations, Demi.
Go ahead and up the dosage
and we won't call
extraterrestrials aliens anymore.
Congratulations too, by the way,
to William Shatner
and the rest of the crowd
that was on the Blue Origin
trip to space.
You know, today,
It was postponed again until, I don't know, like 9.49 a.m.
So it was postponed again because of weather.
So we're not ready for prime time on the space theme park rides.
And, you know, but it happened.
It did seem, I know that it's approximately a 10-minute ride.
But it sure felt shorter than 10 minutes.
is am I talking to my wife now?
It sure felt shorter than 10 minutes.
I'll tell you that.
It was they were up and then down and that was it.
I am talking to my wife, I think.
Anyway, congratulations.
The ride is there.
They go up and they float around for a couple of minutes and come back down.
And, you know, they pass, they go into space, I guess.
They pass the Kegel line or the car.
Harmon line or whatever they call it that constitutes it being space and they come back down.
So the world is happy and Bezos got his William Shatner going into actuals, but Captain Kirk actually goes into space.
And they took off from Blue Origin launch pad one in West Texas.
And then they land out in West Texas again in the middle of the desert.
And congratulations anyway.
It happened again.
Space Ride number two for Blue Origin.
Came off without a hitch after being postponed for longer than a day because of weather.
Kind of sad, actually.
And just as a side note, it appeared to me that it takes, you're in the capsule of Blue Origin on the ground before takeoff longer than,
than 10 minutes. You're on the ground in the capsule after you land back on earth longer than 10
minutes. I mean, you're in the capsule for a long-ass time, but the ride itself is only
approximately 10 minutes. We'll see. It looked like it took a little while to get Captain Kirk
out of the capsule. I don't know if he got locked in and couldn't get out. I don't know if there was a big
mess that he was embarrassed about.
We'll find out, I guess.
But it took
quite a while to get the old
Kerkmeister out of the capsule.
And we'll see because, you know,
they had Audrey Powers,
which was one of the Blue Origin
vice presidents. They had
Chris Botion from
Planet Labs and
Glendivry's from metadata went
up as well. So,
you know, of course,
Jeff was there hugging and congratulating
everyone because he wanted to be you know this is his deal he's been fighting
Elon for quite a while one more thing
about the Blue Origin flight today
when Captain Kirk got off the capsule
he appeared to have a look of
that was it maybe it was just me
maybe it was just me would I do it absolutely and now there's proof positive
there's fat guy seating
so I'm in
so as I'm watching
William Shatner
I can't stop thinking about William Shatner now
I think you know first of all
I know that he's Captain Kirk
and we love him and Star Trek is
you know all knowing
all seeing space travel we love it
but William Shatner
you know while we love him
I don't necessarily think he was that great of an actor
right I mean come on now
come on seriously
And so I was thinking that his best roles, right?
So he was Captain Kirk.
That's obviously the role that he's known for.
But then he was the host of some boogie show, right?
What was the show?
Rescue 9-1-1.
Yeah, Rescue 9-1-1.
He was the voice of that or something, right?
He hosted it.
Yeah, okay.
Sorry I missed that.
But then, of course, T.J. Hooker.
T.J. Hooker, that was it, baby.
that was a fantastic show plus that introduced america to heather locklear i mean come on now
and t j at that time a t j hooker was the guy and he would throw his nightstick and people
be running away and he would throw the nightstick and trip them i love that move that was awesome
but that had to be in that that was that show was what early 80s for him so i got so was the same
i got to look up t j hooker no not that hooker
T.J. Hooker.
Sertya just going a little crazy.
They're putting the words like Hooker in there.
Oh, yeah.
Heather Locklear on T.J. Hooker.
All right.
So, what was the, I mean, that was five years, five seasons of T.J. Hooker?
Holy cow.
From 1982?
Wow.
What was the theme?
Hold on, another 80s.
This is 80.
This is the 70s, though.
Oh.
Oh yeah, come on.
Cop cars rolling out.
Jumping across buildings.
Oh, he looks great there too.
T.J. Hooker.
Oh, riding on the cars.
That's right.
He would jump on the cars.
Awesome.
Oh, he's jumping across the car.
Awesome stuff.
Oh, yeah, who's that?
Adrian Zimede.
He was the, yeah, he was the hot-looking young cop.
Heather Locklear.
Yeah, there's not a lot of police officers that are Heather Locklear.
I mean, I think we can all agree on that.
All right, that's enough of William Shatner.
I just, you know, for $200 to $250,000 to $250,000 to ride on Blue Origin,
it does seem a little overpriced.
Maybe it's just me again.
I don't know.
if I had the extra 250,000
yeah I guess
yeah, all right, let's go
but I mean if Bezos calls
and says hey Jeff
we want to promote fat people going on our theme ride
can you come and do it for us
all right I'm in
do you have an elevator to go up to the capsule
because I'm not climbing all those stairs bro
that's not happening we need to
I mean, we need to put an elevator in.
You have enough money to put an elevator in to get us up to the capsule, okay?
We don't need to climb all those stairs.
But other than that, I'm there for you, Jeff.
No problem.
But to actually scrimp and save to go on the theme park ride of the Blue Origin?
Or the Virgin Galactic, really.
I mean, at least Elon is putting people into space and they're orbiting the globe.
Right?
He's putting just regular Joe's.
Well, you know, kind of.
orbiting the globe
Branson and Bezos
and then you're done
and it's over
that's the actual sound
from this morning
Blue Origin from West Texas
and then that was it
thank you. Thanks for coming Bill
we appreciate it
is that it?
Yeah you had 10 minutes
Okay. All right, thank you. Talk to you later.

Friday. Ikea. Bring home to life.
Okay, so I don't know what made me think about this story, but did you see over the weekend
where a twin engine airplane fell in a neighborhood, crashed in a neighborhood and exploded?
It was ugly, and people died. It was sad. I know. But there's a 13-second video of the crash,
and you see the plane crashing into the neighborhood. It does a nosedive, hits the ground,
and it didn't explode right away.
All right, so at least two people have passed away from the crash.
All right.
And obviously, you know, banged up a little bit of houses in the neighborhood.
So apparently the assassinsis slid down the street, clipped its wing on a UPS truck,
and then the fuselage, dislodged, and barreled toward homes.
And, I mean, it's sad.
These people died in the crash.
But I think about that all the time.
We've talked about it before.
I mean, I drive to and from Mercury Studios here,
and I pass one of the largest airports in the country.
And land-wise, it is.
I mean, it's as big as Manhattan, the island of Manhattan.
But anyway, and it's in like eight counties of Texas.
I think it is.
I think it's an eight county.
I think DFW is officially eight, eight counties.
Two?
I don't know.
It's eight.
They don't know what they're talking about.
It's got to be like multiple hectares of,
of land that DFW is on.
But, but I mean, planes are, I see them flying over the interstate all the time.
And they got them rowed up landing.
I mean, they have two or three landing strips.
They row them up in the air, man.
They got them backed up.
So, especially some afternoons, you know, the shadow, you're driving along the interstate,
and you're perfect as the plane comes over, and the shadow comes over you, and you're like,
so, I mean, that's not a little Cessna.
Those are a little bit larger.
than the Cessna's.
So, I mean, what would happen?
It would not be pretty.
You can quote me on that.
It would not be pretty.
Now, there has been a big crash there.
That was a long time ago, though.
It's been a long time, right?
Because they had the, it was right by the big tanks
that are along the interstate.
Did anyone, was there anybody on the plane
or was it just flying by itself when it crashed?
So, I mean, I'm sure we've lost lives on it, right?
I don't remember what the crash was or anything.
It's obviously I could,
I could look it up, but I mean, it has happened before.
But it's been a while.
So, and I would, you know, what made me think about the crashes, though, is,
remember Pan Am?
Pan Am, oh, you know, they're completely out of business now.
But they had a few crashes that, you know, put them under.
And we got to talk about that too, because Pan Am,
as speaking now I'm back to Bezos and Blue Origin again,
Pan Am had people reserving spots to fly to the moon.
Back in, I don't know, the 70s or 80s.
I was just reading a story about that.
We'll talk about that tomorrow on chewing the fat.
The pan, you could wear you could register.
I don't know.
Most of those people probably now are, you know, either gone or William Shatner, you know, in the 90s age group.
But I don't know, they didn't have to pay any money.
They just had to register.
So they weren't taking people's money yet.
But they believed that people were going to be flying to the moon.
Ha ha ha ha ha we can't even I mean
In today's world
And that's it
With uh you know
Branson and Bezos doing nothing but 10 minutes
We can't even do that
It's just embarrassing really
And Southwest Airlines speaking of airlines
I saw the head the CEO of Southwest
Blaming he was saying that there was no sick out
This past weekend it was due to
weather and they were backed up all weekend and he was saying that you know when airlines get
backed up it takes a couple of days to get them back to normal and he said that they were back to
normal he blamed he said he's trying to not get people fired but he is going to follow the
mandates from the government because he's taking government money and wants to continue taking
government money and so that means that all the employees have to be vaccinated he blamed it on
President Biden saying that he wasn't for it, but he was still going to follow it.
And he said that he hoped that he could work out either medical or religious exemptions
for people who didn't want to get the vaccine.
So I'm hoping that they make the exemptions able to get, though, in Southwest.
I mean, hopefully you sit down in Southwest to go, I really don't want to get the vaccine.
You must have a religious exemption then, right?
I mean, I hope that they make it easy,
so you just have to sign here
and you have a religious exemption.
Because we've done stories where people, you know,
the companies claim they have religious exemptions,
but it do.
It takes, you can't get it.
They're not giving it to people.
They claim they have it, but they make it almost impossible to get.
So, especially when you have a lot of mainstream religions,
backing getting the vaccine.
So, okay, which is it?
So I'm hoping that, you know, Southwest does that.
Otherwise, you know, we're going to be, you're going to be able,
I mean, if you work at an airline and you don't want to get vaccinated,
I would say, this is just me thinking off the top of my head,
which usually works out.
Well, by the way.
I would say start a new airline and just call it unvaxed.
And just let the people decide.
I'm sure you could stay in business.
What are you flying today?
Thank you for flying unvaxed.
Formerly Jeffie Air.
Yes, Jeffie Air sold to us because he's a capitalist and wanted to make some money.
Those of you flying on unvaxed today will be flying out of
about 30,000 feet. I mean, fly
on-vaxed. I want that to happen now.
I want that to happen.
Will it?
Doubtful.
Okay, so apparently I've upset
Chris Kirby because he's
from here, and I should have known
what the flight was that crashed
in D of W.
And, you know, hundreds of people
lost their lives.
Well, I mean, I'm sorry that that
happen. So go ahead. Give me
the details
of flight.
Delta Flight 191.
Delta Flight 191. Which crashed landed
at the FW Airport in 1985
after encountering a microburst.
Yeah, we don't want any of the microbursts.
We had a microburst today with Blue Origin.
Anyway, go ahead.
And I, you know what,
speaking, before you talk about it about the crash,
I've actually
experienced microbursts at
DFW. We were coming in, myself,
and I were flying in from, I want to say Detroit, but I don't remember what city.
And we were coming.
It was storming out, and we experienced a big microburst.
And the pilot was like, yeah, we're going to go ahead and go back up and swing this thing around to the other end of the airport.
And we're all like, yeah, good idea.
Go ahead with the.
Well, this flight's probably why they did that.
They changed training after it happened.
Oh, okay.
But so they had a microburst.
They initially touched down in the field north of the airport across the highway.
from the airport.
Interesting.
By the way, those are not fields
right now.
Not now, no.
Those are businesses and homes, but go ahead.
The aircraft struck a highway street light
and its nose gear touched down
on the westbound lane of Highway 114,
skidding across the road at least 200 miles per hour.
The aircraft's left engine hit a Toyota SELica
driven by 28-year-old William Mayberry,
killing him instantly.
Yeah, we lost them.
You're not living through that.
No, not so much.
It then continued to skid through
into the airport property
and hit a tank of water before coming to a stop.
And how many lives did we?
What do we have?
Well, the one ground fatalities.
How many souls did we lose?
One guy in the car was killed.
That was it.
And then.
That's awesome.
Well, no, not quite.
Oh, boy.
There were 136 fatalities, 25 injuries, and 27 people survived the crash.
Oh, I would love to talk to one of the survivors.
So what were you thinking?
No, never mind.
I don't want to talk.
though.
All right, I know we're up against the clock for today.

So we lost one. We lost a snow leopard.
A snow leopard has passed away
having symptoms of COVID-19.
They believe that COVID killed the snow leopard.
leopard. So
Sioux Falls Zoo
which is beautiful
this time of year.
Sioux Falls Zoo have
five remaining big cats
experiencing COVID-19
symptoms. Wow.
Okay.
Are they spreading it
to the world? No, you're safe.
You're fine. You're
out in the open.
It's okay. Don't worry about it.
Right?
If you're going to any zoo, but specifically,
Sioux Falls Zoo, and you say, oh, look, honey, it's the snow leopards.
Okay, kids, come on, we're going, we're moving along.
I mean, when do you stop going?
Right?
Oh, look.
Oh, let's go see the elephants.
They're so pretty.
Okay, kids, we're moving on.
Take care.
I mean, we might as well look at the giraffes before we go.
We have got to get out of the Sioux Falls Zoo, man.
Let's fall apart.
So, I mean, animals are starting to go.
We're starting to lose them from COVID-19.
That's why they were giving them vaccines.
And I hope the Sioux Falls, apparently, I think they said that they had given some of the animals.
You know, this zoo has not.
This zoo has not given any of the animals the vaccine.
They're waiting to receive some,
and they plan on giving the susceptible animals the vaccine once they get it.
But the zoo is outdoors.
It remains open, and people are, you're fine.
You should, you know, if you feel sick, you should stay home.
But the animals are fine.
Okay, they said they're not.
sure. They're not sure if an employee
or a visitor passed the virus
to the animals. Only one staff member
has recently tested positive.
Thank you for coming to the Sioux City Zoo. We appreciate
everything that you've done for us and we enjoy
your day.
Incredible. One more animal story before we get out of here
today, okay? And I really, this
story's been bugging me. I did it
this morning on Pat Unleashed, my Chewing
the Fat segment, and you can
watch that, but I've got to do it today
here on the real chewing the fat.
Yeah, you're going to be the Pat Simon. That's not
the real chewing the fat. Well, maybe
it is. But
in Colorado,
there's been an elk wandering around
Colorado, and he's had a tire
around his neck. He's been,
he's had this tire wandering around his neck.
And he's been wandering around for two years.
And they call it the elusive elk.
Yeah, because he doesn't want to get caught by you people, okay?
Maybe this time we should have listened to the animals and decided,
you know what, let's let's let the elk go with the tire.
But no, we as humans, decided that we wanted to get rid of that tire on this elk.
So when they spotted him this weekend, they called the authorities and they tranquilized him.
And then they realized, oh, we can't just cut the tire off.
of them. It's a steel belted tire. So they couldn't cut through the tire. So they had to cut the
antlers off of the elk too. So now the elk who was apparently using the tire for a little elk
bling and he had the antlers and he was, you know, that's his way of getting elk business.
A little elk love is gone now. And now not only did we take the bling,
they had to cut off his antlers too. It is going to be a.
slow business winner for this elk, man.
I feel sorry for him.
I do.
So the next time you see an elk with a tire around his neck and he's got horns on,
maybe I'll just let him alone.
Just let him alone.
I mean, in the story, they talked about how animals,
they found different animals like underneath trampolines
and caught in basketball nets and caught in, you know, tennis court nets.
I get that.
You know, those are accidental.
I mean, I doubt that an elk is going to walk around with a trampoline on his head.
Maybe, maybe in today's world, who am I to judge?
But when you have an elk that's specifically using, you know, tires for bling,
and he's got his horns all scruffed up from scraping them on the trees
and trying to get a little elk business, how about we let him alone?
All right, just let it be.
Again, maybe it's just me.
limits.
