leftover from yesterday's Super Bowl slow down Put that, can you put that in the freezer Can you freeze the guac like that? Because avocados, man, the imports of Mexican avocados Dund da da, uh,

the U.S. Plant Safety inspector in Mexico received a threat on his cell phone. So the U.S. said, oh, yeah, no, no more imports of Mexican avocados.

So whatever drugs are getting shipped into the U.S. with the avocados, the shipping sales are down a little bit right now. You can still get American avocados. I mean, no problem.

But those are not the Mexican avocados. It's not the same thing. All right. So if you're, you know, burping up guac from last night, enjoy it. Because there's no more until probably, you know, tomorrow when they say, oh, that's fine. Don't worry about it. I mean, there's avocado wars going on in Mexico. They're threatening people.

In fact, one guy was killed a couple years ago, but he was not an American. It was a Mexican inspector. So it was like, well, we're not killing the because that was not one of our people so yeah you can keep them shipping don't worry about it but you start threatening American people now you're now you're getting

now you're pushing the wrong buttons okay avocados we're shutting this thing down right now all right so apparently drug gangs are threatening family members and kidnapping and killing people all over avocados, man.

So whatever, I mean, it makes you want to kind of have, buy cases of avocados just in case. You know, you might find a case with, you know, two or three keys. Two or three keys and, you know, by accident. And, of course, you'd turn it in. Duh. Welcome to chewing the fat.

So I know, you know, if you're listening live today, is the 14th. Happy Valentine's Day. My heart is just filled with love today. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Is that a box of chocolates in your pocket? Are you just happy to see me?

Happy Vee Day. This doesn't look like chocolate. I know. Wait, stop. Wait, I'm not going to go down that road, although I want to, desperately. Yeah, happy Valentine's Day. Appreciate it. I hope everybody has a great Valentine's Day.

I hope you got your gifts, flowers, chocolates, whatever else you get for Valentine's Day. Bless your heart. Happy Valentine's Day to the love of your life. from chewing the fat. So I watched the Super Bowl last night, of course. It was great. It was fun to watch. And, you know, I'm sure that there are, you know, the percentage of people out there.

I'm not watching the Super Bowl. It's the NFL. I hate them. But, you know, millions of people around the globe disagree. And if you are wearing a mask in any society that watched the NFL games last night, you are one of the ones that are. you're part of the cult because watching that game

last night, man, there should not be a mandate. Let me rephrase that. If you're wearing a mask, good for you. Good for you. But it shouldn't be mandated that someone else has to wear one. You wear it for you.

It should not be mandated. Just watching that footage at the Super Bowl, I mean, nobody of, and you say nobody. It was 70,000 people there. I would venture to say out of that 70,000, maybe 10,000. We're wearing masks? Maybe.

It was pretty incredible. But it was amazing to me. I've got to talk about some of the commercials, too. We talked. Ha! I could just do the whole show on the Super Bowl. I know, I won't. There's so much other stuff to talk about, too.

But we could, they got out of the Super Bowl fast. Man, I mean NBC did everything they, like, threw it. the Super Bowl trophy at the players and there we go let's get out of here hurry up do this interview. Quit playing with your family. We've got to do this interview so we can wrap this up and they had to get to the Olympics man.

We got too big an audience not to go to the Olympics. What they should have done is just okay you can watch all the postgame festivities on Peacock Olympics and to get the audience but no and it was amazing to me how fast they

wanted to get to the Olympics, man, because let's go to the Olympics. Nobody, man. I mean, I felt bad. Now I can't say I haven't seen any of the Olympics. Because I did. I watched. I looked up, ah!

Turn that off! You know, obviously, it's still off when I went to bed. But I mean, that's their audience, that's got to help their numbers a lot. I mean, they've got to work that into the numbers. Oh, oh, our number. were not bad on Sunday.

Uh-huh. Because why can't we just why can't we just watch what we want to watch with the Olympics? It's 20-22. Why do I have to count on NBC to take me to the slope and watch

curling? When I want to, if I could just, why? Can you go? This is my question. They're going to make me look it up. And I don't want to. If I go to Peacock and write your own jokes. If I go to Peacock, it's Valentine's Day.

I mean, how can I not do these jokes? Anyway, if I go to Peacock, can I just type in curling and watch curling? Or do I have to sit through their programming to finally get to whatever they want to bring me? And I'm pretty sure I know the answer to that question. But let's have Amazon or Netflix, and so I can, if I want to watch the Olympics,

great, let's have it. NBC, you show me the Olympics the way you want to present it. That's great. I'll go to you. I'll watch your little lovy-dovey backstories on Millie and Joey and how they struggled for years until they finally were able to afford a ski made from bark that their father gave them and they are now skiing down the slopes of winning the Olympics. I got it.

But if I want to go to Netflix or Amazon and just type in the sport, and then just watch what I'm watching. That's what I'm watching. I think that needs to happen. I mean, it's 20-22. We make that happen, please. For the love is all holy. Make it happen.

Please. Now, some of the commercials during the Super Bowl were, they were okay. I mean, I enjoyed them. I love the Sopranos one, but that was, you know, that was for Chevy electric vehicles. And, you know, they want us all to be, you know, electric. Uh-huh. And there was plenty of those, plenty of those commercials last night. and the EV

everybody in with you know with General Motors and the Sopranos was cool because I like the open and I'm a fan and it was great and they brought that

and they got the they got the boy and the daughter Tony's kids just being the commercial it was awesome it was really awesome the Matthew McConaughey one

was cute and the one that I really enjoyed was the Jurassic Park I'm a fan oh Jeff that was just a teaser for a movie I know, but I'm a Jurassic Park fan, and it's coming out soon, and it'll be, it looked like it was going to be fun.

They brought everybody back for the movie. It's awesome. It's going to be awesome. Well, I don't know that they brought back What's His Face because he's dead now. Maybe we got him hologramed in. I mean, they brought back dinosaurs. They can't bring him back. But that was fun.

So, and I thought, you know, I was kind of rooting for Cincinnati, but in my heart. I knew they couldn't win, and they didn't. There were several non-calls that seemed to affect the outcome of the game. And then there was a couple of calls that seemed to affect the outcome of the game. But it was pretty even, I would say, overall, the non-calls and the calls to kind of work it out. I thought it was okay. An overall without going back and looking at the entire game again

and going right there, that one, that one pissed me off. You know, I would say that overall it was fun. It was a fun game to watch, and it turned out pretty much the way everyone thought it was going to turn out. Joey B. may or may not be back. He's there.

It was the underdog story. Well, kitty goes me, ow. Not really. No, not this year. The kid, he's sleeping under the sofa somewhere. He's not going meow, okay? And all the kids in Cincinnati are home today. They didn't have to go to school.

You're listening to chewing the fat right now. I know you don't have to go to school today. Good for you for the Super Bowl. You've got to stay up late. Eat that damn Mexican guacamole. Until you're getting up now. Your mom is giving you avocado toast. Do you think they're actually doing that at Cincinnati?

I don't think so. But you've got to go back to school tomorrow. I know. It's sad. You guys can all wear your Cincinnati stuff back to school tomorrow and sport that Bengals jersey that your dad bought you because they were going to win the Super Bowl. I know.

I know it's sad. I'm bummed for you. No, really, I am. I am. Really bummed for you. Speaking of Netflix, I started watching a show this weekend called Inventing Anna. I, holy cow.

Awesome. Awesome. It's kind of a documentary. It's not a documentary. I mean, we joke around about movies being a documentary, but it's called Inventing Anna. And it's about Anna Sorokin, the trial of 2019. And it's awesome. It documents her crimes. I mean, she had hotel bills unpaid, took trips to Morocco, left a friend with her crimes. like a $62,000 bill, claimed she was the heiress of a fortune that she wasn't. She tried to get financial institutions to loan her money to a foundation that she created. I mean, it's awesome. Awesome.

And she's living the high life. And they make a point of saying, you know, when she's in jail the first time and she's trying to get interviewed from the reporter, she's like, VIP is always better. That's my favorite line from her. She's like, if you, if you, you come in to visit me like this, is fine, like regular people, but

VIP, they show for you in. You get a separate room. We take it as long as we want. And she says, and the reporter says, and the VIP isn't always better. And as she's leaving, she goes, VIP is always better. This is, oh, I can't wait. if I can't wait to finish, but it's nine episodes.

Oh my gosh. Killing me. They could have wrapped this thing up in maybe four or five. You get past four or five. I'm like, oh my gosh. That's time to fast forward. Oh, we got

Who died today? Who died? Today. Ivan Reitman. Rest in peace. Ivan. 75 years of age, passed away,

quietly in his sleep, we're told. Just like Bob Sagitt. We'll get to that in a moment. So Ivan Reitman passed away. Rest in peace, 75. I mean, this guy was involved in so many iconic comedies

over the years. Amazing. Ghostbusters, and he just was part of Ghostbusters Afterlife, National Lampoon's Animal House. twins, kindergarten cop.

I mean, those are, hello, plus Stripes. I mean, Stripes is one of the classic movies of all time. Of all time. And so anyway,

Ivan Reitman, dead at 75 years of age. That's who died today. Or, you know, yesterday. And it says here kind of sadly that he was, he produced

space jab. I mean, I guess that was the Michael Jordan one. So that's that was the 996 version now. He took, he was part of the new one too with LeBron. Ooh. I mean, that's my see. He must have been sick that or something. Let's see what was wrong

with him. I see, I saw LeBron at the Super Bowl. He had his box up there. And I see my man Stubbergear who was there. I don't know if his seats were below LeBron's box, or he was just there, but you see LeBron standing up in the box, and Stu's tweet looks like he's right there, you know, just below LeBron's box, and Stu is asking, why, why, why, why, why, why didn't I wear my don't be a LeBron.com t-shirt? Really funny. He should have just left.

Should have walked out of Sofi with his head hung and shame. that that didn't happen. But anyway, Ivan Reitland, dead at 75. Now let's move on to Bob Sagitt, who we know is already part of who died today, because he died today a while ago.

But we know now, now I know that I read originally where they talked about him being found sitting next to the bed. Okay? I'm sure I read that. I can't. find it anywhere so maybe I've made it up but I'm sure I read it okay but then we find out you

know when that because that they said that he was resting comfortably in bed he's dead anyway so they claim that he drove from Jacksonville to Orlando hit his head crawled into bed went to sleep never woke up uh-huh now we get to look at the autopsy reports. And it looks as though there may have been a few more injuries to the old noggin. More than just a... Oh, shoot. I mean, I smashed my skull into the front of my Volkswagen last week.

And I went to bed that night. I went to bed that night. I could have been a bobsacket and just faded off. I would be resting comfortably. that could happen it didn't now they say that this is significant

trauma wow now according to this it was more than just a head bump more than just a slip and fall I mean

an abrasion to the posterior of the scalp subgliol subgleal subgleal Sub-Galil. It's been a long time so I've been to autopsy school.

So, I'm not sure. It's a sub-gleal hemorrhaging under the abrasion, multiple fractures to the skull, a subdural hematoma, and additional hemorrhaging. Wow. Now, the death has been ruled an accident. Was it accidental that the baseball bat

hit him in the head? I don't know. I mean, was it, the one doc claims, what's his face? Gupta. Now that I know it's him, I barely want to say what he has to say, but I'll say that Gupta, I'm sorry, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, said the autopsy revealed Sagitt's injuries were not a simple bump on the head,

but a very significant blow to the head that would be consistent with the fall. down a flight of stairs or a major car accident. So what the heck happened? And the family's already said, oh man, lost hubby, lost dad. Sorry, what a shame. He'll be missed.

It's over. Is it? I mean, did he owe money? Did the wise guys show up in Orlando? Did he try to sneak into Disney and get the Mickey Mouse? club was it special you know

Orlando business going on a little Bob Saggit business going on oh yeah oh yeah hit me again with that bat is that a boogie stick hit me with it oh yeah

all right that's all right the guy's dead we're making jokes about it but I'm just wondering want to know. I want to know what happened now. I want to know what happened to Bob. I know, you know, he was dearly beloved and he's, you know, a great comedian and we all loved him, but are we going to start coming out with, well, Bob was a gambler. And, you know, he owed Mickey Two Fingers a couple of bucks. And Mickey Two Fingers wanted his cash. Now, you don't get your cash if you take a baseball bat to the guy that owes you.

To that seems to be not work out right. Could be just me, though, I guess. Anyway, I want to know what. I want to know. I want to know if we're going to have the special in-depth reporter where we've, or on the street in Orlando, we've found the hooker that was with Bob Sagitt. I was with him.

She's back home in Russia now. I don't know. I just want to. Oh, are you saying all hookers are Russian? No. Today's world? Anyway, rest in peace, Bob. Seriously, it's over now, but we have to know what happened.

It wasn't just to hit your face in front of a Volkswagen and climb comfortably into bed and pass away. Something happened. And then they made it look like he was arrested. Just put him in bed, clean him up, clean the room up. Everything will be fine. We're out of here. Accident. Okay.

All right. Whatever you say. I'll just go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Desperately, maybe that's what Bob said. Thought I was going to say so good, did you? Okay, I want to talk to a beehivist, a professional beehivist. I want to talk to someone who keeps bees, okay?

Because I got the story that's talking about bees. being stolen in Pennsylvania. Now, that's sad enough. I get it. I don't want, I mean, I don't want people to be going around stealing bees. There's enough shortage of damn bees as it is. They're dying off as it is. People don't need to be stealing them.

Maybe they want the honey. I guess that's why you would steal them. Duh. Don't be stupid, Jeff. Know what the crime is. I got it. Okay. But it says here, 60,000 bees stolen from U.S.

Supermarket. headquarters from giant company field in Pennsylvania. All right. Okay, so 60,000 bees. How many? Is that like I'm being told that's one hive? That's one of those things. You know, when you walk out and you say,

oh, there's four stacks of bee, four different boxes of beehives. And so one of those has 60,000 bees, I don't believe. it. I want to talk to a beehivist. I don't believe it. I looked at what you. I could buy a beehive

thing. A starter kit's got 10 frames. You know, for I don't know what it was. A couple hundred bucks. But it was cheaper than that, Jeff. You can get that, you can get those starter kits cheaper than that. Okay, whatever. All right. But you're telling me, but usually you see

one's got a couple of stacks, right? So that would make, okay, so we'll say 20 frames. And it has 60,000 bees in it? No. No way. Does that I'm sorry? No.

Okay, so let's say it's a high rise. It's four stacks. All right. You're not talking about the little downtown one stack beehive. You're talking about a high rise. You got four stacks. So you got 10 of those frames in each one of those boxes. All right.

So you're telling me that that's 40 to 60,000 bees. One of those frames has 10. 10,000 bees, right? Well, 1,000 bees, right? Yeah, okay. So one of those phrases is 1,000 bees? No. No.

I'm sorry. And that's one queen? Now, maybe I give you that. Maybe I give you the power of struggle on the one queen. And if you have the high rise like that, maybe. But no, I want to talk to a beehivist right now. All right. email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com we need to discuss.

I want to know I want a professional beehivist or hiverest or whatever you call them on this show. I want to know if it's something. All right. Bees are an essential part of our food supply. I know that. I believe that. And I know it's a corporate field. and it says here they were taken

sometime in January, but I want to know we're extremely disappointed that this happened. Are you? No kidding. But it doesn't say it here. All right, so it's part of their seven acre solar field,

corporate headquarters that they have out there that support bees along with birds and small wildlife. It's so special. All right, so they claim here B-pop. Populations, yeah, yeah, are dwindling. Beekeepers reporting an estimated loss of 45.5% of their colonies.

Almost 50% of the colonies are gone. I'm going to go out on a limb and say, that's not good. That's just me. I'm not a beehivist. I'm not a professional beeist. I'm just saying, I'm going to say, you lose half your herd. That's not good. it's not good.

Okay, beekeepers in Iowa took the heart. Beekeepers in Iowa lost almost 60%. Wow. I mean, even the bees don't like Iowa. That should tell you something. I mean, I'm not, you know, I'm not going to have bad mouth Iowa.

I'm just saying, why do the bees not like you? Do they know something we don't? I don't. no. I'm just asking a question. But I want to know the size of these hives. I do not believe.

I see those. We used to go to the apple place in Pennsylvania and you know, you pick the apples and the whatever fruit they had growing there. You take the kids and you let them run up and down the rows and pick their apples. That's fun. Ride the tractor, whatever

is fun. But they always, when you walk outside the fields, you see along the edges the hives that they have, right? For their honey that they sell at their store. That's where they get you to, those bastards. You always got to buy more stuff at the store. Anyway, so they got the highs.

You're telling me, I look out there and I see, I can see that now there were like five stacks that I remember seeing every time we went. All right, and they were two or three high. Each one of those has 60,000. Well, not today. They've lost 50%. But each one of those had 60,000 bees in it?

No. No, I'm sorry, I don't believe it. Did anyone catch Anthony Weiner and Curtis Slewa on the radio this weekend? They were supposed to do a show on WABC out of New York. They were supposed to be ready for tough questions. And they were supposed to do the show. and I just wonder if it would be if anybody caught it

because I want to hear it. I want to hear Wiener and Dick on the radio. What slew was, is that the name of the show? I don't know. 77 ABC Weiner and Dick on this Saturday.

I don't know. So they made some jokes, but I want to see if it went well because I bet it went great. I bet it south. sounded great. And, man, do I want to hear it?

I don't know if they're going to have the podcast up or not at the old ABC website, but I'll look for it. You don't have to. Don't worry about it. You figure out how many bees are in a hive for me. That's your task today.

I am so upset about these bees. I can't stop thinking about them now. And I'm trying to move on. I'm trying to move on. Let's get Wiener and Sleevo on the radio. We got Movie Pass is thinking about opening up again. They did a big story on Movie Pass coming back again. I don't know.

Maybe get it right the first time. And what they were trying to do, the story on their new way of thinking, I don't think it's going to work again. It didn't seem like it's going to work. So, because the theaters aren't going to let them do what they want to do. The theaters were already pissed at them. but made him fail the last time. And another thing that happened is that they didn't call me

and say, hey, Jeff, don't you have some ideas for us? Because I do. And they didn't call me. So it's going to fail. It's where we're at. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here. Introducing the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus,

at OnePeloton.Ca. Okay, so this is what's playing when I'm looking at stories. And now all I can think of is coast to coast. It's all, I mean, it's just the coast to coast music. I can think of our bell, I can think of George Norrie. Driving in this morning, I hear a guest host on coast to coast. Connie Willis.

I'd never heard of her before. I want to know who is Connie Willis. So I look her up on the coast-to-coast website, trying to figure out who's Connie Willis. Well, I may have known her from the Connie Willis.com home. or her featured show Project creepy hotspots. I guess she's been a guest host on Coast to Coast for 25 years. I don't think so. But okay, go ahead.

You tell me that on your website? I believe it. I may know her from ESPN Speed, UPN, Disney, Oxygen, HSN, and QVC. Then again, maybe not. I may know her from the airwaves of Louisville, Lexington, San Antonio, Philly, Sarasota, Denver, Portland, or Orlando. Or not? I mean, she says here she has a journalism from the university, she has a BA. Stop, it's not what that means.

In broadcast journalism from the University of Kentucky, and is a certified advanced controlled remote viewer. I am one of those too. I love remote viewing, man. That whole thing is awesome. I'm not certified. I didn't go to the

school and taught under the direction of Lynn Buchanan, one of the military's top psychic spies like Connie Willis did. But she did. And you know, you know Lynn Buchanan.

you know, from the top secret program, Project Stargate. She's also a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Greystone. What? Who is this person? Connie Willis. I don't know that this person exists. It could be just a fake voice they're using on coast to coast

when George Norrie is gone. I mean, okay. And now if you know Connie, tell her I said hi. and tell her lesser heart I want to be a CACRV I want to be a certified advanced controlled

remote viewer I mean what are you looking at me like that for if you see Connie tell her I said hi thank you is it no it's like I mean if you're a remote viewer you are you know it's not like she's psychic she has to you know you go son it doesn't say like she when she starts

remote viewing. She doesn't go into psychic land. Maybe she does. Maybe if you're a certified remote viewer, maybe you do. But she doesn't sit down and go, who is thinking about me today and then remote view in? You just got to, you know, you pick a place and go to that place. Duh. As long as we're talking about coast to coast a.m., I see where astronomers have discovered a third planet orbiting proxima centaurore. Centauri. Amorphophalis. Yeah, that planet out there.

The star closest to the sun called proxema centauri. Amorpha phallus. Yeah. C.E. Oh, now I just moved the whole story out of my face. Proxima Centauri. Right? C-E-N-T-A-U-R-I.

Closest to the star, closest to the sun. And it's a newly spotted world. It's probably smaller than Earth. Could have oceans of liquid water. Is there another oceans other than liquid water? Oceans of bees. Oceans of honey. Is there any other oceans?

I don't think so. I think oceans are liquid water. Anyway, it's the nearest... It's a rich planetary system. So, good. Huh? The world go-to.

We can't even keep the satellites in the air. Elon's losing them with some thing that's happening, you know. I don't want to bore you down with space talk. God. Wait. No.

Oh, Jesus. Carbon line. Look over the satellites. I mean, it could happen. It could happen. The solar probes were shooting out of the sun. I know. Think about it.

Now, stop. Not everything. Happy Valentine's Day. Is that a solar probe? Are you happy to see me? Anyway, the, they shot down like 40 satellites from Elon. Incredible. And there's some footage.

too that I saw of them burning back up into our atmosphere. I mean, Elon is like, I got a few other things to worry about. Elon's a little, you know, he's under fire a little bit these days. He's got a little issues at the Tesla factories. He's got a little issue at the Neurolink factories.

And he's losing satellites out of space. I mean, my man is hurting. Somebody get Elon on the phone. I mean, I bet. I bet you Elon knows. B answers too. I bet you he does. I get Elon on the phone right now.

Let's talk to him. Let's see what's going on with the Tesla factories. It's all racist thing going on there. He's got the hurting monkeys at the Neurrelink thing. Yeah, he was putting devices in their brain. You think he was hurting him a little? Yeah.

They're monkeys. They're for us, humans. Humans. Top. Everything else. Below. Humans top. Everything else. Below. That's the way it works on this planet at this time. And then he's losing satellites. I mean, if the guy isn't, if the dude isn't smoking yet, man, there's a reason why he's just hanging out in his trailer down in, what's the name of his city in Texas?

Starlink. Amorphophallus. Yeah. He's hanging out in Amorpha Fallis, Texas. Smoking cigarettes going, holy cow. I'm only worth like $280 billion. I don't know what I'm going to do. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags.

Designer. Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Brushes too. And hustled all those wickets. Wish list topping toys. So plush.

Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals. We get the deals. You gift for good stuff. Okay, so I don't know if this is my, a good story or a bad story. I mean, overall, it's a bad story that ends well because no one was harmed. Okay. All right.

but I see in Florida there was a bus driver who was arrested for being drunk and he's drunk driving buses never a good thing now he came and one guy just noticed that he was drunk the other day it says hey aren't you

smells like you've been drinking and so he gets on the wrong bus that he's not supposed to be driving and takes off and goes to do his route. I got it. I can go pick up these kids. That's my job.

So he calls the school bus authority and says, you know, McNeil just got on the wrong bus and he's going to pick up the kids that smelled like he was drunk. So they sent the cops after him.

So the ambulance catches up for some reason. I don't know why the ambulance showed up, but they did. So he stumbles off the bus and says, I can't breathe. I can't breathe. And they take him to the hospital.

Okay, so he's just, now he's at the hospital. The cops show up at the hospital. He's trying to sneak out the back door. I got to go. I got to get out of here before they know I'm here. So they arrested him. And they're good, right?

And like three or four days before that, he had been ticketed for failure to obey a stop sign. I mean, he was probably, there was a stop sign there? What? I didn't see it. So now he was, he's arrested at the, you know, oh my gosh.

I mean, drunk driving, school bus they're going to prove he had 40 kids on the bus with them I mean he's going away for a long time for drunk driving and you know what good

nobody wants drunk drivers driving the kids around but I mean he was doing it so at what point do you say too much is too much you don't drink a drive I know I know, I know.

Now, he's also arrested for resisting. Let me ask you a question. Resisting officer without violence. Is that the drunk guy just saying, No, I'm not going to go with you. That doesn't count. You can't charge him with that. Come on.

I hate those charges. That's not right. Of course he's resisting. You're trying to arrest him. but if it's without violence he's just pulling his hand away I mean who wants to get handcuffed no one

so further charges are pending so he gets one charge of child neglect now and then they'll just say you know were you ever driving drunk in the past when you're dropping kids off

well of course every day thank God he's not driving a bus anymore. You know, at one point I thought, that might not be a bad part-time job, driving a bus. Just picking kids up, dropping them off. And then I thought, my God, what are you thinking about? If you drive a bus and are a beekeeper, email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I want, because I'm sure, you know, if you are a part-time bus driver,

you probably have time to be a beehivist on the side and take care of some bees, right? So call me and let me know. Or if you're a bus driver, maybe you pick up a beehivist on your route if you're not a school bus driver. I mean, obviously, you're not picking up anybody, a school bus driver. I don't care. If you stand out of a corner, I'll pick him up. I'm fine. I'm fine with him.

Don't worry about it. Well, seriously, what are you thinking? As a grown adult. And you, you know, I realize they're not paying you that much to be a, what are you making as a part-time bus driver? That's a double shift. Right? You've got to be in the morning.

You're like, I'll pick these damn kids out. And then I got to go back to the school. I got to sweep out this damn bus and fill it up with gas. And then I got to go, then I got to go take a break. And then I got to go back to the bus. And I got to drive to the school and pick up these kids and then drop them off. And then I got to go back to the bus place. I mean, that's a long-ass day for a part-time job.

So what are you making? $15 an hour maybe? I mean, $15. an hour. What do you figure a shift-wise? I mean, that's a part-time job as a bus driver. So you got to get up, let's say, five. You pick the kids up by six.

You got to go to the bus. You got to be there. You got to go to the bus place. You got to pick out the right bus. Is that the number of the bus I'm usually on? Okay, that's the one I'm driving. So you're looking at it. Two or three hours, easy. for your route. And then you got to take a break and come back and do it again.

So what are you getting six hours a day maybe? That's an awful lot. That's a lot of work for 15 bucks an hour and part-time. You can see why something like that would drive you to drink. I mean, what are you going to do between shifts as a part-time bus driver? You're going to go to the bar and, you know, see some of your friends. and it started out where I wasn't drinking and then I thought well I'll just I'll sneak a beer

next thing you know it's sneak two or three and then next thing you know it's what the hell next thing you know I'm just drinking all day long thank God he's off the road now though and those kids are safe right right

okay so that's how it happened how the ambulance was called. Because the supervisor, instead of calling the police, called him and contacted the drunk driver. And then the drunk driver said, I can't breathe, I'm having a health issue. So he called the ambulance. That's how come the ambulance showed up

because the supervisor didn't call the police, knowing he was drunk, or at least believing he was drunk. Right? He was reported to him that he was drunk. And that's why, hey, Mark, are you really drunk? drunk? I'm five. But knowing that he was really drunk, Mark was like, I'm having some breathing issues. Call an ambulance. I can't breathe. It's not funny. And I'm not laughing at it. It's terrible. Because I know that I saw some of the thread of the story, Flagler County people are like

the supervisor running the transportation, really perhaps needs to find a new gig. isn't really doing his job. Perhaps he should have called the police. Once he found out that he had a bus driver that could possibly be drunk, instead of calling the bus driver saying, hey, are you drunk? Oh, what are you talking about? Who said that? Again, not funny, and I'm glad the kids are safe,

and he's not driving a bus anymore. Okay. Okay. Come here, I'm going to show you something. Wait. That's the end of the show. Now you may think to yourself, isn't that the end of coast to coast?

Yes, yes it is, but what are you going to do? When you're broadcasting from the high desert, you've got to end with the... Is it flutist or floutist? Pan floutist? Pan flutist. From the high desert. Good night.

Be safe. This is coast to coast again. We're letting this thing play out, too. Okay, to the end. So if you don't want to hear the whole thing, you can go away now. But coast to coast, plays a 20-minute version of this.

I'm only going to play the three-minute version, but it's playing the whole thing, okay? And you'll be lucky if you don't hear a radio station ID at the end of it, okay? Whoa. Thought it was the end for a second. I'll give you the ID. Not have started talking about coast-to-coast today, man.

I just should not have done it. Thought you were going to hear an ID there, didn't you? Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. 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 after Nexium from CBC's Uncover is available now on special. Spotify.
