Blaze Radio Network.
And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
So yesterday, we talked about comets and asteroids coming close to the earth and possibly
hitting the earth.
We don't need them.
We had a swarm of more than 40 earthquakes on Tuesday, ranging from a 3-5 to a 5-8.
I don't know if you've ever felt an earthquake, but a 3-5 is really doing some damage.
And 5-8, yeah, you're doing some damage.
The west coast of Oregon, a series of quakes, which began early Tuesday morning, continued into Wednesday,
were all clustered between 200 and 250 miles west of the coastal town of Newport, Oregon,
far enough to be mostly undetected on land.
Oh, okay.
Well, then don't worry about it, right?
Because what could possibly go wrong?
I mean, we're having swarms of earthquakes now
And now we're getting tremors that are 5.0 to 5.8
And it does not sound like a good thing.
I'm just saying, you can quote me on this.
It doesn't sound like a good thing.
What do I know?
Welcome.
Welcome to Chewing the Fat.
So, Vishel, God.
A CEO of mortgage company better.com
decided that, look, I've got you people on a Zoom call.
I might as well just go ahead and tell you, you're fired.
I mean, that's not really what he said,
but he did tell them that it was time for them to take a hike.
But ultimately, it was my decision.
Okay.
Wow, that's good.
Thank you.
It's been a really, really challenging decision to make.
Well, I bet.
That's why I didn't want to call you personally.
This is the second time in my career.
I'm doing this, and I do not want to do this.
It sounds like I kind of do.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
This time I hope to be stronger.
Yeah.
But we are laying off about 15% of the company.
Oh, gee, I hope I'm not the 15%.
You're on this call.
Oh.
You are being laid off.
Okay.
Thanks, Miss Hall. Garg. Appreciate it.
I mean, I don't know what else he's supposed to do.
It's 900 employees.
I mean, is he supposed to call each one personally?
I don't know. I don't know.
But they did not like it.
They were followed by frustrated employees venting on an anonymous discussion website,
Blind, which who doesn't go there?
And Garg also, I guess, was.
you know scoping out blind to see if people were going to be whining about it and he accused
at least 250 former employees of stealing by only working two hours a day while clocking in for eight
so I mean it sounds like he was happy to let these 900 or at least 250 of the 900 employees go
And because of that, I mean, some of the PR leaders for the firm, three top communications execs,
ah, yeah, they resigned.
Yeah, we're out of here.
Oh, okay.
Weren't you guys going to have a merger with this Aurora Acquisition Corporation?
Yeah, we're going to put that on hold.
We're not going to do that now because of regulatory reasons.
Oh, okay.
But Gargas apologized now.
Yeah, gosh darn it.
I own the decision to do the layoffs, but in communicating it, I blundered the execution.
I don't know if the execution was the thing that was a problem.
Well, yeah, it was.
I mean, yeah, it was the execution.
Come to think of it.
I don't know what else he should have done.
I guess he should have called each one personally and said,
hey, Bill, I've never met you, but you're fired.
I'm sorry, laid off.
I mean, it sucks.
There's no doubt about it.
I just don't know what else he was supposed to do.
Would you have rather received a letter, you know, a verified letter?
Would you have rather received a personal?
I mean, the man's the CEO of the company.
Is he supposed to Zoom call 900 people separately?
I don't know.
I just really strange, really strange.
But, you know, very, very strange.
you know, very sad for the 900 employees of Better.com.
There's no good way to fire someone.
I mean, we've all been fired, or at least many of us have.
I know I have.
And it is not fun.
It's not nice.
It's not good to hear.
And it's just, it sucks.
But I don't know how you lay off 900 employees and not break the
news nicely.
I just, I don't know.
I don't know.
Apparently, over Zoom is not the way to do it.
We do have proof of how you do it when you find money.
You turn it in, of course.
You don't keep it, duh.
You don't keep all of it.
And so remember the plumber who found the cash and checks inside the bathroom wall
at Lakewood Church in Houston, Joel.
He discovered, you know, behind the loose toilet that there were envelopes of cash and checks that had apparently had been stolen from a safe back in 2014.
Well, you know, I presumed that you would deep pocket, you know, some cash and then you would turn it in.
And so at least you got something out of it, right?
I mean, look what I found.
Oh, man.
Yeah, I don't know how much is there.
but I know that what I have in my plumbers bag is a little bit to help me through.
Well, now, Crime Stoppers of Houston is now given the guy $20,000.
Nice.
So apparently when this theft first happened in 2014,
crime stoppers of Houston offered a cash reward of up to $5,000,
and Lakewood Church added a supplemental reward of $20,000,
bringing the total to $25,000,
to anyone with information that led to an arrest.
That's what Crime Stoppers does.
So after years of no word on the case, it turned up, right?
And so following the discovery,
Crime Stoppers asked CrimeStoppers Executive Committee
if the organization could give $20,000 to the Good Samaritan.
What happened to the extra $5,000, though?
I mean, we're still, we're a lowballing on the reward.
I'm not sure what's going on with this.
Now, the investigation is still going on,
And so we'll see what actually it happens.
But for sure, they know that, you know,
it was probably part of this theft that was reported in 2014.
Why it was behind the bathroom wall.
I mean, we may never know.
But good for him.
I mean, he got the deep pocket some of the cash that he should never admit to ever, ever.
And he got an extra 20,000 from crime stoppers.
So congratulations.
And congratulations to the Kindred Anderson family who just received a big win this week against Beerbelly's sports bar.
They got a reward from the jury.
They were awarded $301 billion.
That's a big number.
$301 billion.
Now, they said they don't expect to see.
any money from this case.
But back in 2017,
this man
was at this bar,
beer bellies,
and apparently he was
too drunk.
And they kept serving him. Joshua
Del Buske. And he
ended up driving intoxicated. And he ran
a red light and he killed
Tamara Rekindred and her granddaughter
Ojuni Tami
Ojune Tomi.
Anderson. And I believe he died as well in this accident. So the family sued the bar.
And they said that he left the bar with a 0.263 blood alcohol concentration. The legal limit in Texas is 0.08.
They were on their way home, the grandmother and granddaughter. And he ran the red light in his
Dodge Charger while going 91 miles an hour, struck and killed them. Beer Bellies,
was trading money for the safety of their patrons and the public by continuing to serve
an intoxicated customer.
The legal teams that believe that when Del Bosque left the bar, 50% of the people at 0.3
blood alcohol level are rendered unconscious.
So when he left the bar, he lacked the skill necessary to avoid the collision.
And so they just want, they did the litigation to remind the community, the state and the nation of the horrific cost of drunk driving and the bars that are that irresponsibly overserve their customers.
The family hopes and praise that the jury's verdict persuades bar owners, bartenders and other alcohol servers that they must follow Texas law and never serve alcohol to an already intoxicated person.
I mean, I am so sorry for this family.
It's horrific.
I don't wish that on anyone, anyone at any time.
But, wow, to put the law on the shoulders of Millie, the barmaid, to, I mean, you just don't serve anyone then.
I mean, you just don't serve anyone.
Of course you do.
I know, I'm over-exaggerating.
I get it.
But, you know, you go to a bar to get drunk.
No, you don't, Jeff.
No, you don't.
You definitely don't drive drunk.
I will say that.
The days of driving drunk are long gone.
And this is a reason why, because horrible things happen.
And if you're going to go out drinking and you know that you're going to get drunk.
Well, that's the thing.
You just, oh, if you're drunk.
you don't have good senses.
I know.
But if you're out drinking,
don't drive.
It's that simple.
There are plenty,
I mean, plenty of ways
to get transportation
so that you're safe
and other people are safe.
It's just, that is dumb
in today's world
because you just don't do it.
Now, if I'm at a bar,
I would, I'd be interested.
I may have to talk to an attorney
about this,
because if I'm at a bar
and I come in and say,
yes, I'm drunk,
yes, I'm going to get a lot more drunk,
but I'm not driving and I have a driver
and everything is fine.
Can they still serve me?
Or does Millie have to say no?
Because does that still count
as serving too much
to an already intoxicated person?
I don't know.
I really, honestly, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Does Millie,
say, I don't care.
If you're not driving, you're already intoxicated.
I'm not serving you anymore.
That's a tough one.
Because I think the argument would be, well, yeah, she still says that.
Because if something were to happen to you, personally, you go home, you trip and fall
and hit your head on the coffee table, you pass out and die on your own vomit.
Sorry.
You know, you pass out and die in the back seat of the Uber.
is someone going to sue the bar because of it
and sue Millie who served you
and your argument is he told me he wasn't driving
and I figured it's fine, no problem
but he was already intoxicated.
So I guess the moral of the story,
well, don't drink and drive for sure.
Don't get intoxicated at a bar in public.
And if you're going to get drunk
could want to get, want to get intoxicated.
I guess you just stay home, right?
I don't know.
Maybe you just don't drink.
You know what?
Just don't drink.
Let's go to the break room.
I'm going to get a drink.
Not that type of drink.
I'm going to get a drink of an ice cold beverage that's a soda.
Okay?
Not alcoholic, a non-alcoholic beverage.
Okay, fine.
so good
it's been so long
since I've been drunk
it's been a long time
man it's been a long time
as I've had an actual drink
of anything
I've told you before
ever so often
I really want an ice
cold beer
and I mean it sounds so good
I have to get one
and I want it
I just miss
that ice cold beer.
Oh, it tastes so good.
And then I'm done.
I'm good.
I got so tired of,
I mean, there were a number of years there where drinking and other things were a friend,
a friend to me.
No, they weren't, Jeff.
They were just poisoning your body, just like those cigarettes and everything else.
I know.
I know.
And that's why I don't do them anymore.
Okay?
So back off me.
So you can follow me on Twitter at Jeffie Jee.
on the Facebook, Jeff Fisher
Radio and Instagram.
Jeff Fisher Radio.
Instagram announced new safety features for teens,
including a pop-up reminder to take a break
from the app when they've been scrolling too long.
And they also have users
are going to be restricted from tagging
and mentioning teens who don't follow them.
Teens will be nudged
when they've spent too much time
dwelling on one topic.
that's good. We don't want you dwelling on particular topic too long.
And parents and guardians will be able to view and limit how much time their teenage kids spend on Instagram.
Pretty sure they could do that anyway.
Pretty sure they could say, okay, you're done.
But what do I know?
I mean, teens have already ghosted Instagram as it is anyway.
I mean, Snapchat and TikTok are the top ones.
So Instagram has copied stories from TikTok.
Snapchat since 2016, and they've spent a huge amount of money targeting teams.
So we'll see if they, you know, win them back.
And I know that the CEO of Instagram testified in a Senate hearing,
and he didn't say that he was going to halt plans to release Instagram kids.
So he did say that they were going to be bringing back the chronological feed option.
I'm not sure why that's a big deal, but it is to them.
So good deals for that.
Apple doesn't have to make any major changes to his app store while it's appealing the lawsuit brought by Fortnite Maker Epic Games.
So good news there.
And I see, speaking of Apple, that Jennifer Lawrence is going to be Elizabeth Holmes in Bad Blood, which is going to be filmed for Apple.
the defense team for Elizabeth Holmes
just arrested their case yesterday.
The jury, that's another huge case
that's going on. You've got
the Elizabeth Holmes case.
You've got Maxwell case, which
looks like it's coming to an end.
Jesse Smell came to an end.
The jury, I hope,
comes to their senses
and deliberates
very little amount of time.
Get some lunch. If you want to stick around
for some dinner, get some dinner, and then let's
go ahead and throw this thing
out of court, okay, be done with it. No, you're guilty. Have a nice day. He's going to have to pay money.
He's not going to go to jail. They'll put him, give him some probation, slap his hand, and tell him to get out of here.
So, don't worry about it. Nobody believes you, Jess. Nobody. So just move on. I don't understand.
I don't know why he's wasting our time in court, wasting all these people's time and energy and money.
Just be done with it
We know you lied
Just be done with it
Oh you know what I found out last night too
Interesting is really kind of interesting and strange at the same time
If you have an Android phone
Which I do
If you push the center button and get to the Google Assistant
And then you ask hey Google Assistant
And you ask
Sing a song
Let's celebrate that we have the vaccine to help us bring a change in this old routine.
Right.
We can build our immunities while taking care of our communities.
Vaccines are safe and an important step towards opening up and shaking hands again.
And going somewhere we couldn't visit for months.
Protecting ourselves and the world at once.
Yeah.
Scientists work night and day.
In record time they found a way like superheroes and masks and gloves.
helping us get back to what we love.
Yeah.
That is awesome, isn't it?
That's so nice of Google Assistant to sing me a song.
And I'm glad they chose that one.
I don't know if that'll be on the list of most streamed songs at the end of the year,
but it's possible.
I know companies are releasing their most stream songs for 2021.
I don't even know if they played that at the nightclub
that Finland's Prime Minister,
Senna Marine.
I get to Marin, M-A-R-I-N.
I don't think she pronounces it,
Marin in Finland,
but she's their prime minister,
the youngest.
Prime Minister, as a matter of fact, in the world.
She got elected in 2019.
Wow, incredible.
And she's not hard to look at
the 36-year-old prime minister.
But they're mad at her now because she was out clubbing.
Yes, she was out at the club until 4 a.m.,
which normally you'd think, oh, okay, whatever.
She's 36, and I'm guessing she's single.
Oh, no, she's married.
She got married in 2020 to Marcus Arakokaninan.
R-A-I-K-O-N-E-N.
And she's a part of the Social Democratic Party of Finland.
That's great.
It's great.
So she's been Prime Minister for a couple of years now.
She's, in fact, celebrating her two-year anniversary.
But maybe that's why she was out clubbing until 4 a.m.
But they're not pissed about that or they're not pissed that she was out dancing around at the club.
And there's only a couple of,
of pictures of her out at the table drinking, not that I looked for them. But she apparently
had been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. Oh, no. Oh, no. Now,
they texted her and said, hey, you probably should do anything. You probably should quarantine
because, you know, your foreign minister tested positive for COVID. Oh, okay.
so apparently they texted her work phone
which she did not have honor at the time
right
but she did that's what she said
that's what she claims I will believe her
I have no reason to believe that she would lie
anyway apparently she said
hey
first of all the government
you know doesn't make me
quarantine if I've been in close contact
we just, the advice is that, you know,
it would be nice for you to quarantine and get tested.
So immediately, she would have upon finding out,
I don't know if she rushed home drunk and looked at her work phones and said,
oh, that's a positive, but she rushed out to take a COVID-19 test,
and she tested negative.
Now, we all know that that, you know, could change in the coming days.
usually people who feel like they possibly could have COVID,
which she did not.
She's just, you know, contact tracing.
Someone came in contact with someone who tested positive.
So they just advise people to avoid other people and take a test.
So, I mean, if she had the virus and has now tested positive or negative,
she wasn't, I guess, spewing out the virus.
us to other people at the club.
Is it possible?
Yeah, it's possible.
You know, other people were questioning her going out to, you know, clubbing at 36.
What are you talking about?
I mean, first of all, was she out raving?
Did she have the glow sticks on and doing the dancing?
I don't think so.
The picture I saw, she did not.
So she's out with her friends just dancing and drinking.
humans get to do that.
However, I will say that as a prime minister of a country,
it is, you know, you may make better choices,
especially since you've only been married for a year or so.
I mean, maybe you want to go clubbing with Hubby.
Maybe you've had enough of them.
Maybe you told Hubby, you know, I've spent a long week,
and I had to put up with the, who was the guy that tested positive?
The foreign minister, I had to put up with the foreign minister.
and I got to get out of here.
Okay, so I'm going
clubbing and I'll be home later
and no, I'm not taking my word phone because I was
sick of these people. That's possible.
That is possible.
So this one is from
Finland, right? She's through,
who's the one that was with
Obama? Oh, the Danish one.
Yeah, she's, that's right.
Thorning, Schmidt, the one that was
sitting with him at the funeral, at Mandela's
funeral, and he was taking selfies
and Michelle was pissed.
And so she's the Obama's girlfriend.
She's the one that was the Danish politician.
And she's on the, she served as their prime minister of Denmark.
And now she's part of the Google thing, right?
She's part of, is it the Google or the Netflix thing that she's part of?
Or, you know, Facebook.
One of the three.
It's Facebook, actually.
She's on the oversight board of Facebook.
So, I mean, Barack got her that gig.
I'm surprised she's not.
She didn't buy into the Netflix deal.
with Barack, but maybe that's too close for Michelle.
I mean, he's got her around, but not really around.
You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack.
But she's never told her side of the story until now.
People assume that I'm like, this pervert.
My name is Natalie Robamed, and in my new podcast, I talked to Allison to try to understand how she went from TV actor to cult member.
How do you feel about having been involved in bringing sexual trauma at other people?
I don't even know how to answer that question.
Allison Afternexium from CBC's Uncover is available now on Spotify.
Is there nothing sacred anymore?
I just, there's nothing sacred any longer.
I don't know, I don't know what else to tell you.
We now, we now found out that there has been tampering in,
the camel festival.
And I, I'm shocked.
I'm shocked and horrified.
And I can't believe it.
So apparently,
Saudi Arabia,
King Abdullah's camel festival,
has been,
it's kicked off earlier this month,
and I forgot all about it.
Otherwise,
I would have,
you know,
I'd been all over it.
I invites,
apparently the festival invites the breeders
of the most beautiful camels
to compete for some
$66 million in prize money.
I mean, for $66 million, for a couple million bucks,
I am doing what I can to make my camel win too.
And I don't know if you know this about me,
but I have actually ridden the camel before in my life.
I don't think that the camel I rode
would make it to the contest,
and I didn't ride it in Saudi Arabia.
I wrote it in Israel.
But I have been on a camel,
and he did not want me to get on him either.
But that Bedouin who owned the camel was having none of it, man.
He owned the camel.
And I wanted to pay to ride the camel.
So he was making me ride.
That camel spit and did not want me on it.
But I ended up riding it.
Man, what fun it was.
But anyway, so now we've come to find out that these breeders,
these damn camel breeders, have been using Botox injections and other
artificial touch-ups.
Over 40 camels
have been disqualified
from the annual pageant.
I don't know how many actually
joined the pageant.
We'll see if they tell us exactly how many
are in the pageant
in this story, but we do know
that Botox injections,
facelifts, and other
cosmetic alterations,
to make the camels more attractive are strictly prohibited.
You're not supposed to do it.
So, okay.
Now, jurors decide the winner based on the shape of the camel's heads,
the necks, the humps, dress, and postures.
So, I'm right.
I mean, you can tell if you, look, if you've been around camels like I have,
you know a good camel.
So it's a month-long festival out in the desert.
I didn't realize there was anything else in Saudi Arabia.
Anyway, out in the desert, the capital of Riyadh, are escalating.
They're clamped down on artificially enhanced camels.
They won't hear of it.
The King Abdullah's camel festival will not be a part of tampering.
So dozens of breeders have stretched out the lips and noses
of the camels, used hormones to boost the beast's muscles.
They have injected camels, heads and lips with Botox to make them bigger.
Inflated body parts.
Oh, wow.
What are they putting, like, hump implants in?
That's awesome.
And rubber bands, oh, no, they've inflated body parts with rubber bands and used
fillers to relax their faces.
So they want their faces
more relaxed and they
use the rubber bands. I mean, if you
you know what they do with rubber bands to
like sheep and things, right?
I mean, they wrap them around their
man parts and
you know, D.
Ball them.
That's not a fun thing. So
I guess they have giant rubber bands.
What I can envision and I don't know
this. I'm not on the inside
of the Camel
breeders advanced technology
of tampering.
But I'm guessing I would use big
rubber bands in the middle that would enhance
the humps.
This is the thought? I don't know.
I don't know, but if you're looking at
their necks and, you know, the beauty
contest is at the heart of this carnival.
It also features camel races,
sails, and other
festivities, typically showcasing
thousands of the camels.
Thousands of camels.
Camels. Okay, there we go. So only 40. Only 40, but those, but thousands of camels are in the races and doing other things. They're not all part of the beauty contest. So, I mean, millions of dollars are at stake. Of course, there's going to be cheating. You're kidding me. You're breeding camels. First of all, I don't know how expensive it is to breed camels, just like horses. But, you know, I mean, camels are, you know, camels are tough animals, man.
And we had some here in America for a while.
They brought some over.
And they decided they were going to use them.
I think it was in the Civil War somewhere in there.
And then they decided, you know what?
No.
And they just let them go.
So there were camels wandering around the West for a while that were brought here for war for our soldiers.
And they just never worked out.
But if you want to get into this, make it some money in Saudi Arabia, maybe that's
what you do. Maybe that's what
you do. You get into, uh,
you know, you don't get caught
though, because they're going to be disqualified. You never
know the King Abdul's mate,
uh, off with
your head with a rubber band.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, I feel like we're getting pushed into a corner
over this Let's Go Brandon thing.
Because it was just, it's
just a thing, right? It's just a thing.
But by banning it, you make it
more of a thing. I mean,
we just had a boat with the
Let's Go Brandon theme at the holiday boat parade in Yorktown.
And it won.
It's a 50-foot vessel with two big banners.
Let's go Brandon.
And the other was FJB.
It wins best in show at the Yorktown Lighted Boat parade in Virginia.
And so, you know, I mean, it's just a thing.
It's just a funny thing.
And yet, no.
A couple days later, they said, yeah, you know what?
We're taking the award away.
Yeah, we know that you got voted the best in show, but yeah, you know what?
It's too political, so we're taking it away.
Wait, what?
Yeah, we're giving it to the runner up.
Oh, okay.
We're sorry, you know, sorry.
But that's just the way it is.
All right.
It was too political, said, let's go, Brandon, and we can't have you be the winner of our bow parade.
Oh, okay.
Is that it?
Yeah, that's it.
Congratulations, though.
We really appreciate you participating.
And we know that everybody voted for you, but yeah, we're taking it away anyway.
Okay.
You can't remember they're taking it away from Peloton.
Peloton won't let you type it in as one as your banner on their system, which is just stupid.
and now we find out that Titleist has banned Let's Go Brandon on their personalized golf balls.
So you can, you know, you type it, you go to Titleist and you can personalize golf balls and they make them and send them to you.
Not, if you want, let's go Brandon on it.
No, not that.
Heaven forbid a golf ball says let's go Brandon on it.
Oh, that would be just too much, especially next to the Titleist name.
Oh, no, we cannot have that.
that is just unacceptable.
Well, I find that just strange because I get it.
I know, we all know what Let's Go Brandon, you know, is supposed to mean, it's supposed
to mean, let's go Brandon.
But we also know that it means, you know, F. Joe Biden, which is what the crowd was cheering
when the news person said, oh, they're cheering, let's go Brandon.
And I've got to finish this interview.
and we're going to end up time.
We're going to end up talking to you here, Brandon.
I mean, she wasn't going to say, yeah, listen to that crowd saying F Joe Biden.
All right, but I got to talk to you, Brandon, about your race.
She's not going to say that.
So that's what's that generic groundswell for Let's Go, Brandon.
I got it.
Okay?
I got it.
But now by taking it away from everything,
I just feel like it's bringing more attention than ever to it.
By telling people, no, no, you can't use it.
Oh.
Okay.
Well, I'll tell you what you can do is you can get socks that say, let's go Brandon on them.
Okay?
Yeah, that's right.
You heard me.

So the United States
started it and they
they're going to boycott
the Olympics in
Beijing, the Winter Olympics.
Now we have Canada and Australia
and I think the United Kingdom and
other countries will come along
for the ride as they're going to
boycott the Beijing
Winter Olympics. Now it's
diplomatic boycott.
So they're just not going to send any representatives
but the athletes
could still show up and compete,
which, you know, is good
because if you've been competing
to be in the Olympics,
you deserve to compete, right?
I just, I find it weird
that we're boycotting China.
I mean, diplomatically.
So it's a boycott, but it's not really a boycott.
And if I could, if I'm, if I'm Beijing and,
Xi, I say that I'm pissed,
because, you know, I'm going to show off my country and we're China, right?
And I demand some kind of respect.
On the other hand, you know, the athletes are showing up and the governments are still going to,
we're still going to get talked about.
It just seems kind of a weird thing to do.
You know, we've all looked the other way for a lot of years.
Now all of a sudden it's a big deal.
I mean, this administration has done a great job of bringing, well, what's the word I'm looking for?
Oh, yeah, unity.
That's the word they used.
Unity because look around.
The country is unified.
The world, the world, the global community is unified.
And things are great.
And I heard, just as a side note, which really pissed me off, I just wanted to scream.
I heard this president, Joseph Robinette Biden, say in Kansas City yesterday, or the day before, whenever the hell he was in Kansas City,
talking about how gas prices are lower because he's letting he's letting gas out of our reserves.
What in the hell are you doing?
If we're going to lower prices, if we want gas, open the pipelines.
What are you talking about?
Our strategic reserves are not for that, you doofus.
He can't be that dumb.
He just cannot be that dumb.
Okay, I'm done.
I don't want to get too.
I try to keep away from that.
You know that.
That's what this show does.
So I'll back it up a little bit.
I'm sorry.
I apologize.
We're talking about sports, right?
The Olympics.
Let's talk about Cade McDown.
All right?
He's a former NFL quarterback.
UCLA standout.
I mean, the guy is in the college football Hall of Fame.
He played in the NFL for a few years.
He's doing okay, right?
He's the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame.
The UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame.
The guy had a huge collegiate career.
His NFL career was, you know,
Okay, he played in the NFL.
What did he play in the NFL?
Let's see, what did he win?
He was, he finished as a Heisman trophy
finalist.
Wow.
I mean, that's huge.
And he had All-American and other national awards.
This guy was huge.
He was drafted in the NFL by the Chicago Bears,
meant two seasons with the Bears,
and one with Miami, one with San Francisco.
So he was in the NFL for four years.
I mean, that's a pretty good ride.
I think you've got to get five to get the,
retirement money, but I'm not positive about that anymore.
Anyway, his wife is in deep water.
She was working for this philanthropist, which is a good gig,
Sidney Holland.
So she's working for this philanthropist, Sidney Holland.
And I guess she was like Sydney's do-girl.
Which is a good gig?
I mean, Sydney was with, remember she was with something.
Redstone. So I don't know how much money she built from Sumner, but now she's considered a
philanthropist. So she's got to have a little bit of cash. Anyway, Christina McNawn, Cade's wife,
was her assistant and stylist for 12 years. Incredible. So now I guess all of a sudden,
over the span of several months, Sydney was like, hey,
Some things are missing.
What's going on?
I'm missing some jewelry.
Hey, I thought I had that purse.
Now it's gone.
So they started, you know, digging around a little bit.
And Christina is now charged with four counts of felony grand theft after the investigation was launched in October.
She stole purses, clothing.
Oh, I didn't.
I missed that one.
Hey, I thought I had a dress in here.
Yeah, she sold clothing.
thing, jewelry and purses.
So she started getting carried away.
I don't know.
I mean, Cade had to make some money, right?
He's got to be worth a few million anyway.
He's doing okay.
I mean, speaking to her, whatever.
He's doing all right.
He had to make, do something.
I don't know that he has, you know,
able to say that he's a philanthropist, but Sydney is.
And so she's making some good cash being the due girl for Sydney.
But, I mean, maybe she wasn't.
Maybe Sydney was, you know, running low on cash.
Maybe the Redstone family is like, you're getting no more.
Dad kicked you out when you were doing somebody else instead of him on the hospital bed,
and you're getting nothing anymore.
I've got to look back into that.
The Redstone fight is still got to be going on.
That was a fascinating battle, man, because that guy was, I mean, he had a great life,
but in the end, the last, you know, he was kind of a douchey douche back.
not that that's a bad thing
that's not a bad thing in my eyes
I'm just saying he was kind of that way
but Cindy
decided that since she was missing
purses clothing and jewelry
and I guess
I don't know how she just noticed
it was missing
or if Christina showed up
at work one day and Sydney
went hey
that's a nice bracelet
looks like something I once had
Oh, does it?
Cade just got this for me.
Yeah, no.
You took it from my jewelry room.
So why do you, I mean, that's really strange.
We'll find out.
Maybe she has just a, you know, a theft problem, a shoplifting problem.
And since she's, you know, do-girling with Sydney, that's her shoplifting.
She's not going to miss it.
I'm just going to take it.
I love it.
That's what it is.
She's not going to miss it.
She doesn't even know the stuff she has.
Yes, she does.
