All right, so it's a good news, bad news, regular news, kind of day. The good news? It's National Cheese Lovers Day. Now, I know that National Cheese Day is in June.

I know when we're getting close to June, I've got to get ready to celebrate National Cheese Day. I've got to get my cheese decorations out. But today I just found out is cheese lovers day. So we may as well celebrate. Let's get out a block of cheese. Let's have some queso. However you want to celebrate, National Cheese Lovers Day, let's go ahead and celebrate.

As for the bad news, we'll get to that. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So it's been almost two weeks since. our dear friend Alec Baldwin. Okay. You're going to hear that when we mention his name. That's our way of showing our respects to Helena Hutchins,

who lost her life being shot on the set of the movie Rust by Alec. And you're going to hear that when I just say his first name. So that's how we were paying our respects to Helena Hutchins. who lost her life, and of course, Joel Sousa, who was shot, the director who was shot.

I guess we should remember that, you know, the lighting director who was suing him because I guess the lighting director nearly, nearly was hit by the bullet

that came from the gun that Alec was holding. So anyway, he has finally turned over his cell phone. I remember a couple weeks now when he said that any suggestion that he wasn't complying with the request or orders of search warrants about the phone is bull crap. He said the other way.

And he said that's a lie. It's a process that takes time. And, you know, I'm kind of on his side there. But he has turned it over to authorities. And then they're going to look at it. and then they're going to turn it over to New Mexico. So the warrant's only been, a warrant is, was issued on December 16th.

So a little bit of time. You know, I realize that he's, you know, there's a process. I get it. But, you know, there's only so much information that you can get from the phone. I hope he hasn't deleted anything. I mean, I'm sure he hasn't. That would just be silly to think that he would have deleted anything. So, I mean, I know that they're after all the communications,

they're concerned about, you know, communications between Mr. Baldwin and his attorney, as well as spousal privileged information. So, you know, I'm not sure what all information we're going to get from the phone. Look, if I'm Alec, I don't want that information out there either. I mean, no way. I don't want you to have my information. I get it.

And that's definitely information that people will use against him. There's no question about that. No matter what kind of hokey love note he wrote the wife or the girlfriend, you know, we want to see it. So I get it. I'm on his side on this. And I stated that. I mean, I appreciate a lot of Alex's work.

I do not like him personally. I think he's a dirt bag. But, you know, I'm on his side on this part. Well, now he's being sued. again, for $25 million. For alleged defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Oh, that's it, though.

That's it, though. So, apparently the lady, Royce McCollum, is suing Mr. Baldwin because Because Baldwin, no, it's not the last name. It's just the first name and his full name. Now, I'm not throwing this last name in on this, too. We can only pay so much respect for the dead and the wounded.

Okay, that's it. You get the first name. If I say Alec, and then you get the full name when I say Alec Baldwin. Okay. All right. So anyway, the Alec, I didn't say it.

I didn't say it. Okay, it was close, though. So one of the soldiers who was killed in Afghanistan during the withdrawal, Baldwin found his sister on Instagram and then sent her a check for $5,000 for the widow of the soldier and her newborn. which was, you know, that was nice of, of him to do that. No question. He couldn't, he didn't have to do anything. And, you know, it was five grand. Well, it's five grand to him.

I mean, I know it's a, it's a good sum of money. And it was very nice of him to do, right? So then what happens? The sister posts a picture of her at the Capitol on January 6th, the day democracy almost died. And she was there and she was there. but she had nothing to do with any of the business that happened at the Capitol. She is not part of the day. Democracy almost died.

She was close, but she wasn't part of it. But she posted a picture on the first of the year saying, hey, ahead of the one year anniversary, that she was there. And of course, our boy got all wound up.

And he sent a direct message to her, Instagram account saying, are you the same woman I sent dollars for your sister's husband who was killed during the Afghanistan exit? When I sent dollars for your late brother out of real respect for his service to this country, I didn't know you were a January 6th rioter. So, she'd already, she said, she told Alec hey

I was protesting as legal in the U.S. and I've been interviewed by the FBI. And then he replied, your activities resulted in the unlawful destruction of government property,

the death of a law enforcement officer, the assault on the certification of a presidential election. I reposted your photo, good luck. Wow. I mean, oh, dick.

So he also reposted her photo on his Instagram account and mentioned her involvement in the January 6th protest. And she was hit with hostile and aggressive, hateful messages from all the followers that talked about, you know, getting raped and dying. Your brother got what he deserved? Wow. So he misidentified this person as an insurrectionist on an Instagram account. Isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting?

So he's got this going on. Some users, obviously, oh, could you give the $5,000 back? Then he donated to the family. Shut up. So it's going to come under fire. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out. Right?

So I know that there hasn't been a response. I'll bet we'll be able to get a live Instagram account soon, a shot. from Alec Baldwin and we'll see what he has to say about it because I don't know that they're going to get 25 million but I mentioned they get more than five grand

what a douche okay so by now I am sick of my own COVID story. Okay if you're struggling with it bless your heart do whatever it takes and whatever you need to do to get better.

Please, I don't wish it on anyone. And if you get it, I hope it's a weak version of it, like mine appeared to be, right? Okay, so it began on January 7th of Friday. I got, and I started feeling sick that night, right? I thought, oh, crap, because everybody had it at the office, and I finally got it. I had sat in.

I did Glenn show with Stu the day he was, the first day he was off. and he didn't know that he was positive. Uh-huh. But then I find out, you know, later that he's positive. So I sat in his COVID-stained chair for a whole show and talked into his COVID-shredded proteins on his microphone for a day. Anyway, he gave it to me. I'm blaming it on him.

So, you know, I thought that the next day I wasn't sick, I was like, I was good. All right, good. I made it through it. Oh, wrong. Uh, no. So I started January 7th, Friday night. I thought, oh, crap.

And I knew you started getting sick, and I didn't feel like a normal sickness. You know, it wasn't just a cold. It was something that was, you know, it was COVID. So I got lucky and found a home test that Saturday, the 8th. Okay? I thought, okay, cool. The pharmacy, I called the pharmacist and, hey, you got a home test.

Oh, you just got some in. So I drove over and bought one. And I tested positive. of course, on the 8th, all right? So then, so that gave me one test left, which I was hoping, you know, to use to find out, you know, when I was negative after five days because of the new protocols. Five days, negative, good to go.

Have a nice day. All right. And would you not, if you're not sick. So then Thursday or Friday, 13 or 14th, my wife tested positive. She started feeling sick and she used my one test. What? What are you doing?

So, you know, and she tested positive. Okay, fine. So then, and that was the Thursday or the Friday. So then I couldn't find a home test, a quick test. Nobody had them. I finally, I found some tests on Saturday. All right. And I tested positive.

What? And that was like the 15th. I couldn't freaking believe it because I was not sick now. I got better. A couple days. I was good, right? I mean, I started getting sick. on that Friday night, tested positive on the Saturday, really sick, really kind of still stick

on Sunday, starting to feel a little bit better Sunday night. By Monday, I'm fine, although my voice is shot. I can barely talk for longer than, you know, a couple of minutes without it fading out. Tuesday, same thing. Wednesday, I'm fine. All right. I feel good. My voice is getting, coming back. It's pretty strong. And I have not been sick since. Nothing. Okay, I feel fine. All right. So I got, I have the test on the Saturday. Positive. couldn't believe it. I was so bummed. So I tested again on Sunday with the second test because each box, I mean, you know, the test box come with, you know, two tests in a box. So I was so bummed. I tested again on Sunday. No, positive again. I was bummed. I could not believe it. I mean, it was,

really bummed because I was ready to go in to the studios and do the show because Keith had tested positive on Pat's show and Pat's show. and Pat was coming back from had testing positive. So he was better. And I wanted to go into the studios and do the show with Pat. No. I ended up, you know, doing the show from home and it was fun. And it was fine. And, you know, I love working with Pat.

And it was great. But what's not the same as being in the same room doing a show together? But I still couldn't find any test, right? So now it is the 20th. For those of you listening live today, it is the 20th of January, 2022. I have tests. All right, I have tests. And again, my wife woke up this morning feeling like it could possibly have a second wave. I'm not sure, but it's possible that she's getting a second wave because she had it for a couple of days really bad and then it started to turn around,

although it didn't turn around as fast for her than it did for me. You know, whatever. However, now I have a test. And I figure, you know what? I'm just going to take it on the air. We're just going to do the test here on chewing the fat. Okay? All right. And I'll post everything.

I'll post all the pictures online. So you'll see the photos. So it's the BionX now to test from Abbott, the COVID-19 antigen self-test for infection and detection. So we're not just going to, you know, we'll sit here for 15 minutes. we'll, you know, we'll talk some stories. We'll go to the break room.

We'll still do some of the show. I've got to open this stuff up now. And it comes in the packages. You get the little test board and you get the swab and you get the little juice or dropper that you got to put in the hole. You can write your own jokes there. And then we're going to do the test. Okay? I'm just going to do it live.

We'll do it live right here on chewing the fat today. My life is damn near an open book. All right. I mean, I lay my stomach. on the table. My guts are out on the table every day. Ooh, gross. Yeah, I know. But, so we might as well just do it live and if I

test positive again, man. As we, I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know what could happen, but it could get ugly if I test positive again. All right, I put the water in the hole and now I have to swab my nostrils.

It says, make at least five big circles. Five big circles. on each side of the nostrils in 15 seconds weird all right let's do the other side

how excited are you now and swabbing of my nostrils yeah baby you don't get this on every show all right you don't get this on every show all right so there we go All right, now I've got to put this in, right? Slide this stupid thing in. All right, we just lay it flat for 15 minutes.

Yay! Hope I did it right. I mean, I only play a medical professional. I'm not really a medical professional. I know, but that's just the way it is. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink more than you know right now desperately. Oh, so good.

All right, we're in the break room. Do you see where Elton John has now resumed the Yellow Brick Road tour? I am excited. I love Elton. But he's got his first full-scale concert for a live audience since March 20th of 2020, March 7th of 2020, was his last show. So his tour opened in New Orleans last night after a. nearly two-year high age. Wow, I mean, he had the lockdown, right?

It was COVID after March 7th. And then he had a hip surgery, right? He suffered some sort of hip injury and had hip surgery. I mean, he's not a spring chicken anymore. But he played all the hits, man. And, you know, he had, remember his latest album has the hit Cold Heart from the lockdown sessions. So he's back on tour. In North America, he's got a couple of dates in New York City's Madison Square Garden,

then he's going to go to the UK, then he's going to go do some more around Europe, and then that's going to be it. This is his retirement tour. Uh-huh. I think this retirement tour is going to go on forever, but he played 21 songs at this show. And I mean, they are, I've seen it before, and I love him. I do. I've said the last, why don't you marry him?

He's already married. I know. It's disappointing. believe me if I could but he uh I saw him with Elth with uh billy Joel that was so it was such a great show but he played 21 hits and Benny in the Jads Philadelphia Free a border song tiny dancer have mercy on the criminal rocket man take me to the pilot someone saved my life tonight leave on candle in the wind funeral for a friend love lies bleeding burn down the mission sad songs don't let the sun go down on me the bitch is back I'm still

standing, Crocodile Rock, Saturday's all right for fighting, cold heart, your song, goodbye, yellow brick road. And he did Cold Heart and Candle in the Wind solo. I'm sure it was just a great show. I mean, it's Elton Freakin' John. Hello, he's the man.

So, he's back on tour, his farewell tour. Now, when you go to Elton's website, you immediately get the, you know, the lockdown set. on the front cover. What a great picture of Elton. Younger Elton. And he's got a mask on with the Elton John mask.

And then you can go click on. So now he's got, he's got Houston tomorrow. That might be a good show. He's got Houston tomorrow. Oh, wow, two shows. Back to back in Houston. And then he's going to be here in Dallas. Why am I not going to this show?

What is going on? So for the next four days, the 21st, the 22nd, and then the next weekend, 26th and 27th, he's going to be in Dallas. So he goes to Houston for a couple of days, and then he takes a break. Yeah, you can't be expected to travel from Houston to Dallas in a day. I don't know where he's flying to, what he's doing, but he's going to take a few days off. It's going to take like three or four days off. That's how long it takes him to get to Dallas.

Are we still living in 1883? I mean, Ellen's got to be flying his own jet, right? So, and then he goes to Arkansas, Oklahoma. He's touring the whole North America, Kansas City, Chicago, Chicago, Detroit, Detroit, then into New York, then into New Jersey, then Hollywood. Oh, then he flies back out to Hollywood. Well, he goes down to Florida, Seminole Hard Rock, right, from New Jersey, okay.

And then back up to Brooklyn. He flies out to Florida for a while, a couple days. When is that? The 15th of April. And then, uh, 15th of a, no, February 25th in New Jersey, and then two days later, he's in Florida, and then he's a couple days later,

he's back in New York again. So he just shoots down to Florida for a little bit. I mean, man, and this is the farewell, look at all these cities. He's, this is a farewell tour. The never-ending Elton John farewell tour. There's no way this guy stops touring. I love him for it, but it's just not going to happen.

And I see where Instagram is testing creator subscriptions. Now, I haven't been contacted by Instagram. Jeff Fisher Radio is my Instagram account. Are we missing something? So you're still going to be able to get, you know, content from the people that you follow, but you're going to be able to get exclusive content from your favorite influencers on Instagram exclusively.

Oh, all right. So they announced subscriptions feature that will grant users access to exclusive. This is all over this stupid story. Stories and lives, plus add a purple badge next to their name that's visible to creators. Okay.

So it's a limited test rolling out to just 10 creator accounts. Ooh, you're going to charge 99 cents to $99 a month for their subscriptions. Wow. Okay. And meta has pledged not to take any share of the new revenue stream until at least next year. Uh-huh. Okay. Yeah, I believe you. Anyway, you got that going for you. Maybe you're one of your, you're one of the followers of the 10 special accounts and you can subscribe to them. Twitter has that now. Everybody wants a piece of that subscription money. Everybody wants a piece of that. And I don't necessarily blame them. I don't know how much more we can all pay. I guess we'll figure that out, won't we? Let's see where rap is under fire. I'm actually on trial in the state of New York.

So for a while now, police and prosecutors have used rap lyrics to pursue criminal cases against rap artists. And in some cases, the lyrics have been presented as evidence rather than viewed as artistic expressions. Well, now there's a New York bill introduced back in November that would prevent prosecutors from using an artist's lyrics in criminal cases. Okay. So we'll see what happens. I know, you know, they all want to be sure that it is creative form of self-expression and entertainment just like any other genre.

That's a quote from Fat Joe. All right. You know, I It's been a long time. Jay-Z lawyers said that this was a long time coming and it's going to head to the state senate for a vote. You know, they used it before. In 2018, Draco the ruler,

the late California rapper, was convicted of murder after prosecutors used his lyrics to prove he was guilty. But he was later acquitted in 2019 of the same thing. It's really strange. I'm really torn because, you know, if you were to sing a country song about literally killing someone, I would hope that someone would look into it being real. I don't know. You know what?

Stop using it. Stop using it. All right. Figure out another way to bust them. Don't use their creative form of self-expression and entertainment. Okay? All right. Oh, and I see the Sundance Film Festival kicks off.

Oh, man. You can get virtual tickets because nobody can be there. But how much fun will that be? All right, the virtual Sundance Film Festival? Yeah, that'd be great. That'd be great. Wow. It's a long break room today.

I see where Gaga, oh, I'm actually disappointed about this. This is, this actually is disappointing news. So Lady Gaga teased that a sex scene with Selma Hayek was cut from the movie House of Gucci. Wait, what? We're cutting sex scenes

from a movie? This will not stand. This will not stand. Although I will say that it's a good way to, and this is maybe what they're thinking, is that, you know, the House of Gucci is a hit, and I don't know how well it's doing at the theater or whatever,

but when they release it to streaming, they'll be able to release it with, you know, unedited or added director's cuts from the cutting room floor. So you'll get the sex scenes. And those will be the first up that you can buy for the video on demand, right? Not just the streaming, your free streaming HBO Max. That's free that we're all paying for. But you'll be able to pay extra for House of Gucci

and the deleted sex scenes with Gaga and Hayek. I might have to pay for that. Okay, we're still in the middle of the test. I've got about five minutes left before we get to say whether it's positive or negative. So it's still ongoing here during chewing the fat. You know, just keep your fingers crossed for a negative COVID-19 test. Okay, just keep your fingers crossed for me so that I'm able to leave the house. And I'm able to go out front and take the, you know, the giant X off.

my front door so that people don't know we're not we're not positive anymore although again my wife might be actually that's not good news this morning and you know as long as we're in the break room uh glad media awards uh have been put out well you know the glad media awards they honor media for fair accurate and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues. HBO, HBO

Max leads with 19 Netflix close behind was 17. Coming up, coming up on number two, and I was 17. And last year, Netflix ran away with it, 26 nominations, and HBO only

had nine. So HBO was pissed last year that they only had nine glad nominations. So, get on there. So, streaming services saw a total of 63 nominations, cable receiving 39, broadcast networks

receiving 17. Hulu received seven nominations, while ABC, MSNBC, and Peacock all saw four. In the Spanish language categories, Univision and Telemundo, both received two nominations. What is the others

in the Spanish language categories? Is there anything else other than Univision and Telemundo? It sure. is Jeff. That shows you don't know what you're talking about. Okay. All right. I got you. It's going to be interesting to see what shows. I have to go down the list. It's going to be

agonizing, though. I can feel that it's going to be agonizing. They've added two fresh categories. Outstanding new TV series and outstanding original graphic novel slash anthology.

Oh man, I bet you. I bet you that's good. I can't wait for the 33rd Glad Media Award ceremony. It's going to take place in person at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on April 2nd and

at the Hilton Midtown in New York City on May 6th. So they're not going to let anybody travel. We're going to do it in person, but we're not going to let anybody travel. If you're in New York, stay there. If you're in Hollywood, stay there. You don't have to travel. We're not going to make you travel. I guess the LGBTQ people don't know how to travel?

I guess that's the story there. That's a bigger story than just the awards being nominated, I'll tell you that. Okay, so are we at like 15 minutes now? I think we're pretty close. I think we're close enough. Before we go into

another, before I get out of the break room, let's go ahead and make sure and see if I am positive or negative on the COVID-19 test. It's my on rib shot. You're welcome. And let's lean over here and take a look. We'll take a quick photo. And it is negative. Yay. Yay. It's about damn time. I hope I did it right.

IKEA, bring home to life. Okay, so we are still going to participate in the Olympics, but we're still going to make sure that our athletes are in lockdown mode and should have burner phones. We've covered that. But now NBC, who spent all this money on the Olympics, aren't going to send announcers to the Olympics?

What? Are you kidding me? Okay, I know things are changing. And I know it's, uh, what's the line they used? It's changing conditions and China's zero tolerance policy. It's just added a layer of complexity. to all of this.

Yeah, but you're supposed to be announcing all of this. Okay? I mean, who's running the cameras? What's happening with all of that? Are you just not sending the announcers? So they're going to continue to, you know, things are evolving based on conditions, but we're not going to be sending announcing teams to cover alpine skiing, figure skating, snowboarding during the Olympic

Games despite prior expectations that they would make the trip. So some of the announcers are going over there. The network has sent 250 people to Beijing, among them mostly technical staff, as well as NBC Olympics president

Gary Zinkle. Yeah, well, I mean, he's the one that they're going to spend all the money, Gary, you need to freaking be on top of it. The wind of this obviously starts February 4th, ending February 20th, and of course, we can't go without mentioning the Paralympic Winter Games, which is going to be held March 4th through the 13th,

which you're not going to be able to tear people away from that. I know. Just stop it. It's just a silly joke. So it's going to be strange. I mean, Chinese officials have warned athletes against speaking out in a way that violates Chinese law at risk of facing penalties. I mean, I don't know why we're sent them. I don't know why we ought to say,

no. And COVID is a perfect out for not sending them. It just is really, really weird. I don't understand it. Being afraid of being locked, thrown in prison? No, thank you. I can say what the hell I want. We're Americans. Screw you. Well, you know, I mean, I know that sounds good. Just, you know, have a burner phone and don't use it. That's all you need to do. I see where Jamaica, too. Congratulations. Cool runnings. back running. I know. Jamaica's going to have a bobsled team and they're headed to Beijing. Now, I don't have any control over whether Jamaica sends their team. It would suck that if people started boycotting. And we're getting pretty close now to where I don't know that it's actually

going to happen. So, I mean, they're obviously going to go. So Team Jamaica, they qualified for three different bobsled events for the first time. The four-man and the two-man events and the new women's monobobob event. You can write your own jokes. They can also compete in the two women bobsled event. Stop it. I'm talking about Jamaica bobsledding

as an alternate if the qualifying team drops out. Don't stop. All right. That would be kind of, you know, a fun underlying story. Well, there's not going to be the announcers there to talk about it, so whatever. Maybe someone will be there for bob sledding. That wasn't on the list, was it? No, that was they were only going to stop, not

send announcers to the ski. They can't be out on the slopes. Why we're sending people, I don't know. I mean, if I'm an athlete, I'm really frustrated. I want to participate, right? I mean, you've worked to your whole life. Many of these athletes worked, you know, many, many, many years to get here. And I don't blame them.

They're excited. They want to participate. They want to go up against what is possibly the, best in the world. But the whole China thing is just a little much. You can quote me on that. The whole China thing, just a little much. Another thing that's just a little much.

The new Guinness world record for a ball of human hair. There's a new world record of human hair ball. Two hundred and twenty five pounds. ah wow technically the record is 2.25.13 pounds for the largest ball of hair

according to Guinness World Records. So Steve Warden, owner of a salon in Cambridge, said his son inspired him to start Haas. Yes, the hairball has a name Haas, and he just said, you know, just start using clippings from your customers. And the ball grew until it was large enough to be featured by Ripley's, believe it or not.

From there, I guess it was, you know, possibly going to a museum. And he thought that was going to be the end of it. Nope. Hoss was still alive. Ripley's partnered with Floyd's 99 barbershops, a chain of salons in central Florida. And they kept the hairball growing. They took the ball to the Orlando Comic Con and asked attendees to donate their own hair clippings to help the ball grow to break the Guinness World Record. So that's kind of not fair.

I mean, they're using huge events to get the ball big. It's not, you know, just one barber shop. Is there a new section for the largest one barber shop ball of hair? and then this is the largest barbershop ball of hair from a salons that have six or more salons. So we have categories.

So Haasst was officially weighed in December and hit the record at 225.13. The previous record was 167 pounds set by Missouri barber Henry Coffer in 2014. That's what I mean. So Henry, He was playing the game right.

And Ripley's, man, Ripley's kind of stretched the rules a little bit, partying her up. First, they got the, you know, they got the ball going. They got Hoss going from Wharton. And then, you know, they got Orlando Comic-Con people to start trimming hair and get the ball bigger than that.

So, man. Warden is happy, though. He said it changed his life. He said, I did it because of the love of my children and my future grandchildren. and just to show that you know, if you have a crazy idea, don't worry about what people are thinking. Just do it.

That's good advice. That's good advice. But congratulations to Warden and Ripley's, believe it or not, and Floyd's 99 barbershops for jumping on the hairball bandwagon and getting a hoss to set the record for the world's largest. ball of human hair. Man, that is an accomplishment. And now what does Henry do in Missouri?

It just has a 167 pound ball of hair sitting over there in the corner. Yeah, that used to be the Guinness World Record, but not anymore. Former World Record holder. It doesn't say that Henry has a name for it. He doesn't even get to name his hair ball anymore. You're not number one? Get out. Welcome aboard Air Canada.

Rockies vacation here we come. Whoa, is this economy? Free beer, wine, and snacks. Sweet. Fast free Wi-Fi means I can make dinner reservations before we land. And with live TV, I'm not missing the game. It's kind of like I'm already on vacation. Nice.

Air Canada. Nice travels. Wi-Fi available to Aeroplan members on equipped flights. Sponsored by Bell. Conditions apply. See AyrCanada.com. All right. So we all, or if you don't, you should remember the first name.

How's that? That's pretty good. Thank you. Well, they do have their first name in Bologna, but they also now have a face mask that you can, that will give you a beautiful skin. That's right. The Oscar Meyer face mask, the Bologna face mask. Yay.

Now, they claim that the new Bologna Hydro. gel sheet-faced mask isn't meat. Okay, it isn't Bologna. What? What are you talking about? Yeah, it's supposed to be there for you to...

It's inspired by Bologna, okay? They have mixed witch hazel botanicals and collagen to protect, hydrate, and lock in moisture and promote

skin elasticity. Now the ad has the model hold up a piece of actual baloney with holes cut out as a face and just shakes her head, no, and throws it away and then shows her putting on the face mask

beauty inspired by baloney. And who doesn't want beauty inspired by baloney? Some would say many people. Many people around the world have their own beauty from Oscar Meyer Bolona.

And according to Oscar Meyer, this is a Meet Yoseelf mask not just one to treat yourself. So, I mean, if you ask me why I'll say, because Oscar Meyer

has the very best B-O-L-G-N-A, baby. And in our segment, Houses of the hoity-toity. Yes, houses of the hoity-toity. This house is kind of misleading. It's where the Manson murders took place. A full house creator. Sounds good. Why? How's that misleading, Jeff? Well, I'll tell you why. All right, because it's being billed as, it's being built as the mansion where the Manson murders took place. And it's only $85 million.

So the full house creator, Jeff Franklin, is selling it. And it's a pretty sweet place. Okay. Now, see, again, in the story, it's the home was where the Manson murders famously took place. Not really. All right. It's on the land where the Manson murders took place.

They just hosted the reception for Bob Sagitt following his funeral at this estate. The Celio estate? C-I-E-O estate, nine bedrooms, 18 bathrooms. Now, he bought it in 2007 for just $6 million. It wasn't finished, but it was only $6 million.

Now he wants $85, okay. But it's just the property where the murders took place, okay? The initial home on the land demolished. Okay. Now I have Sharon Tate,

Abigail Folder, Jay Sebring, and writer Wojek Frankowski died in those murders. I mean, yeah, yeah. I mean, we all remember once upon a time in Hollywood. We got it. But it's, you know, the mega mansion. It's 21,000 square feet. Views of the city, it is beautiful. Man, there's no doubt about that.

If I had your money, I would go ahead and spend the $85 million. Three and a half acres. And a big surprise, he's selling it because, you know, I still have the joint, but I live in Miami now. And so, you know what? I don't need the movie theater, the spa, the gym, the hair salon, the billiards room, the bar. I don't need any of that. I don't need any of the 75-yard pool with three waterfalls, two hot tubs, 35-foot water slide, swim-up bar, private grotto, quipon, a lazy river.

I don't need any of that. You know what? I don't even need that detached guest house anymore. I'm living in Florida, okay? I don't even want that underground garage that can put 16 cars in it. I don't even want that anymore, okay? I'm done with it. I'm living in Miami, okay?

So, boy, that guy's got a little bit of cash. There's no doubt about it. Some people just have too damn much, don't they? Right. Right. All right. One quick little story before I get out of here today, I want to revisit the Postal Service story. Yesterday, I did the story about the stamps, right, and how they're adding stamps in my argument. You know, first of all, you all know I want to be in charge of the Postal Service. I always wanted to be the Postmaster General, and then I found out that really the Board of Governors is what rules the Postal Service.

So I really want to be on the Board of Governors, because the Postmaster General. General is really just their new boy. So I need to be on the board of governors. However, my point was yesterday is that they're making way too many stamps. We don't need all these stamps. I mean, they're costing us a fortune, and we need to find ways to, you know, make money rather than spend money. And the Postal Service has been running in a deficit for a long time, and they need someone

like me to run it for them. And I've got some pretty good ideas. Now, I was sent an email to chewing the that at the blaze.com from Helen, who was saying, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffie, Jeffie, as the postmaster, you are missing a huge opportunity. Okay, well, first of all, Helen, before you start yapping at me, sit down at the table of the board of governors, okay? All right, sit down. Don't just come in here and start hollering Jeffie, Jeffie, Jeffie. All right, so what huge opportunity am I missing? Well, rather than less stamps, there should be more.

sell the design of the stamp to advertisers. There could be advertising on the boxes and even the trucks. No thanks necessary, Helen. Okay, well, now that you're sitting down at the table, let's have a little talk, shall we, Helen? I have talked about sponsorships on the Postal Service vehicles. I have not really considered the sponsorships for the stamps, although I am not opposed to them.

it still goes against us creating more stamps on behalf of the postal service. But if you want sponsorship stamps, I'm all for that. I love that idea. And it was really an oversight on my part as to not see the sponsorship of the stamps. So you're right. I don't really appreciate the Jeffie, Jeffie, Jeffie as you're walking in the room before you sat down at the table around the board of governors. But I'll give you a little bit of slack, okay?

So thank you. But that's what needs to happen. and that's the kind of thinking we need to have to get the Postal Service back up and running. So it just ticks me off. And I want, you know what? I want to be, I want to be in charge of the Postal Service. That's what I want.

That's the only job I want now. That's the only job I want. I want to travel around to all the postal services. And we're going to turn this thing around for America, damn it. All right. I got to get out of here. So listen, negative. That's right.

Finally, let's go over here and take a look at my test to make sure that it didn't change to positive while we were talking. Nope, still the one line. I'll post all the pictures online. Thank you so much. Have a great day. Thanks for listening to Chewing the Fat.
