Felicity Ace Whatever the ship is called out there in the ocean Had all those Yeah, thank you The amorphalos ship You know, it was carrying Porsches and VWs and Lamborghinis And it was all, you know, electric vehicles

And they don't know what started the fire but they're kind of guessing it was, you know, the batteries for the electric vehicles. And so if you haven't got your car off of there using the helicopter and the barge plan that I gave you a week or so ago, you're going to have to get a dive team together because it sank. So they got the fire out and they started hauling it in where to get it fixed and see what. what the problem was. Started listening to the left. It looks like it's tipping.

It looks like it's done. It's over. It's down. Have a nice day. So I don't know if they're going to go in after it or if they're just going to like cut their losses. We're already down, I don't know. Four or five hundred million.

I mean, they're down at least a couple hundred million. And so, I mean, it's just, well, do we just wash our hands with it? Oh, man. We need a new ship. We need new cars. The ship is not my problem. The cars are my problem. The ship company says the cars are not my problem.

The ship is my problem. And we just, it's over. Let's pretend like it never happened. Welcome to chewing the fat. You know something. I like knowing exactly where my meat comes from. And with moink, that place is,

from small family farms all across the country. You can help save family farms and get access to the highest quality meat on earth. When you join the Moink movement, and you need to join the Moink movement today. Moinkbox.com slash jeffy. Moink delivers grass-fed and grass-finished beef and lamb, pastured pork and chicken,

and sustainable, wild-caught, Alaskan salmon straight to your door. and I must tell you that while the beef and the pork and the chicken is outstanding, I do love the Alaskan salmon. It was good. Moink farmers farm like our grandparents did, and as a result, moink meat tastes like it should, because the family farm does it better.

Shark Tank host, Kevin O'Leary, called Moyne's bacon the best bacon he's ever tasted. You know what? He's right. I love... Okay, let's just be honest. All right, I know I mentioned the

salmon. Now I'm talking about the bacon. Let's just talk about that. Let's talk about the ground beef, let's talk about the steaks, let's talk about the, you know, pretty much everything is tremendous. And I'm just a huge fan. I know that doorbell, ring doorbell founder, Jamie Smith-off, he jumped at the chance to invest in Moink. I would have liked to have been asked, but they, you know, they didn't ask me.

You know, Pat Unleashed does a show on Blaze TV and Blaze Radio that I'm a part of on Wednesdays and Fridays. And I do a special chewing the fat segment. If you don't know that, you should tune in on those days. Those are the best days of that show. I'll tell you that. Anyway, we got into a fight because I said that Neil Diamond was bigger than Bruce Springsteen. Fact. Fact. Okay?

I mean, Neil Diamond. He just sold his publishing rights and his master recordings to Universal Music Group. Now, they didn't say how much, but Springsteen got 500 million. Bruce Springsteen. I remember talking about this when he signed that deal thinking, 500 million to Bruce Springsteen. Why? Because he sits down with Barack Obama and does a podcast.

That's probably the reason. Neil Diamond, far superior to Bruce Springsteen. So they didn't say how much. They said the financial terms were not disclosed. Okay, well, how about we just take a stab at it? I mean, he's got 110 unreleased tracks, an unreleased album. video footage, Masters,

the guy is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He's in, I mean, I was going down the list of what he is, you know, the bio of the great Neil Diamond. Grammy Award.

Golden Globe Award. The Sammy Khan Lifetime Achievement Award. Is Bruce Springsteen have that? The Sammy Khan Lifetime Achievement Award. The Sammy Khan Lifetime. Achievement Award, a Kennedy Center honor. Bruce might have that. And he has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

I really want to know. I've got to look to see if Springsteen's got the Sammy Con Achievement Award. Okay. So I know that Bruce has a Kennedy Center honor, but I'm looking at the Sammy Con Lifetime Achievement Award list. And it's actually making me sad, and I don't want to promote it anymore. And let's look at the list, Bet Midler. All right. The singer from Hawaii.

Les Paul. Patty LaBelle. Gloria and Emilio Estefan. Kenny Rogers. Vic Dumone. Steve Lawrence and Edie Gourmet. You can't have one without the other. Ray Charles.

Gene Autry. Quincy Jones. Jerry Wexler. Benny Goodman. Peter Paul and Mary. Neil Sedeca. Neil Sedeca. Stevie Wonder.

Neil Diamond, as I stated. Barry Gordy, Frankie Lane, Lain, Lainahorn, Nat King Cole, B.B King, Dick Clark, John Hammond,

Willie Nelson, Tony Bennett. No Bruce Springsteen, though. No Bruce Springsteen on the Sammy Khan Lifetime Achievement Award. I'll tell you that.

So don't even get me started. Deal Diamond is far as superior. These guys are raking in some cash, man. I mean, Stevie Nicks, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Zizi,

Top, Sting, David Bowie, John Legend, they're all, I mean, they're all in it for the, in it for the money. What are you shaking your head at? I just don't know that David Bowie's still making money because of how he's been dead for years. His estate sold it. Don't. All right, we're done. I mean, Neil is almost there, right? I mean, Neil is 81 now and he's got Parkinson's disease.

So, I mean, the family is like, you know, dad, you should probably just sell. And, you know, you already had one of the largest divorce payments. Remember that he was one of the largest, he set a record at the time for the biggest divorce amount that he had to pay. It was a lot, I got to look at. Yeah, 150 million bucks a divorce cost him back in 1994. Half of his estate. That was in 94. So he's got, he's recouped some of that.

And now that he's sold this, you know, he's recouped. gooped a lot of that. The family's like, hey, we don't want the X to get any of this. So why don't you sell this stuff now? And, you know, you're not going to be, you're not going to be making it much. We love you. But go ahead and sell. So we've talked about companies packaging their products in smaller containers. The ice cream people do that, which is very frustrating, man. I mean, you want to grab that half gallon. That hasn't been a half gallon in a long. time man now I'm thinking about that you know I remember as a kid we used to get those and

I didn't eat it obviously but we used to get those gallons in the box ice cream and you know that if you open it from the bottom and eat it from the bus starting it out of the container from the bottom and then close it up and we'll put it back into the freezer that when you open it up from the top it looks like no still have a whole gallon let you know I mean as a kid you might as a kid some kid might do that

thinking they were getting away with something you know I don't know who would do something like that but you know it could be done so but now we're talking about with times you know prices are going up on everything thanks to oh we've got to go in to I mean I

know I'm going to try to hold back talking about the state of the union address. I normally don't talk about politics on the show. I'm going to try not to talk about it because it was very frustrating to watch our president last night in the hallowed halls of Congress. Back to companies and their rising prices. Some companies are raising, raising their prices, but they're also trying to hood winky a little bit. And Burger King has, now doing that. Okay? The largest franchise of Burger Kings, they have 7,000

stores. It's not bad. It's not bad. They're probably doing okay. They're probably doing okay. But now, you know, you go to Burger King, you say, I'll take an order of nuggets, and you plan on getting 10 nuggets? Nope, 8. So now they're cutting it. That's, come on, just raise the price. What do you want, man? I want my 10 nuggets is what I want,

I don't want to pay whatever price you're charging me and still then just only get the eight nuggets. Just raise the price. If I'm pulling through the line, does it make it better? Now they say obviously that, you know, hey, you know, we've got a problem getting the product, right? They want to raise the prices,

but they still need to get the product. So it reduces the number of nuggets that they have to, you know, have to order, obviously. I get it. But I just want the same amount. Just give me the same amount. same amount. And it better not say I bet you they don't change.

It's still called the Nugget order or whatever. And you just got the little guy out on the back drive-thru window putting eight over the ten. Jorge's out there with the paintbrush. Eight over the ten. And they're raising prices on other items. Plus, they're taking stuff off the discounted

menu meal. like the two for six dollar deal yeah you're not getting the whoppers on that anymore what come on now all right whatever that's fine i know dominoes is uh said it's cutting the number of wings in the 799 carryout offer to eight instead of 10 come on now little caesars the hot and ready uh have raised their prices we talked about that Chip-O-Lay, hiked prices. Starbucks, McDonald's, all hiking prices. I know some Starbucks we saw where you can't even get a cup.

They're out of cups. So you got your own cup? We'll give you some coffee. No? You're supposed to, that's part of the deal? Yeah, that's like we're going to buy, sell you a car without the tires. And get the car, give you a good price. But I'm out of tires.

I got no tires. You're going to have to pay more for that. You want to have to cup with their coffee? Yeah, I got to charge you more than that. Okay, all right. So according to this, to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and I, man, fan of the Bureau of Labor statistics. In 2021, restaurant prices rose 6%.

I feel like it was more than that. I feel like it was more than 6%. And if the prices rose, like if you're charging me, say you raise the prices on, for example, I don't know, your chicken nuggets. And instead of 10, you're now giving me 8. I feel like that's more than 6% when you start breaking it down.

But what do I know? All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh my gosh. Brands, bank, and nuke, ice cold beverage. doesn't get much better than that in America you see where

the NFL wasn't happy with the 167 million viewers that they got for the Super Bowl and they said yeah you know we're gonna take a second look at that

that doesn't seem we want more 167 million isn't quite enough for us so they did a special second look study with with Nielsen and the

they decided that yeah you know what they did miscalculate a little bit and we had over 208 million people who watched the Super Bowl so that's it

it's funny how the second look was right interesting how that happened isn't it? I mean good for them look good for them and I told you yesterday for those of you listening live. Today is the second of March 2022. I told you yesterday, which would have been

the first of March. Fat Tuesday, by the way. Anyway, is it everyday fat Tuesday for you? Yeah, I got it. That baseball was in trouble. What happens later in the day? Yeah, we're just going to cancel the first part of the season. I mean, Major League Baseball. I love you. Do you?

Yeah, I do. I enjoy baseball. I like playing baseball more than watching it, but I'm a fan. And yeah, I do. Yes, I do. I love baseball. I've played, I love you. Are pissing me off now.

I love baseball. Don't check your head of me about that. I'm a great baseball player, by the way. Holy cow, you are seriously in trouble looking at me like that. Anyway, I told you the thing. they were in trouble and they canceled the beginning of the season. Now back to Major League Baseball. Guys, I know that there's issues that, you know, you believe need to be resolved.

In today's world, take a look around what's going on around the world and here in your very own country. Okay? America's pastime. Remember your little saying? People aren't going to like you anymore. They're going to figure that you're just a bunch of rich guys whining about wanting to make more money to play your silly little game. So you should just sign the deal and get to playing. Okay.

Your whole little not going to go over well. So good luck. God bless. And on the same day, we got the NFL doing the combines in Indianapolis, the pro days. Combines. Yeah, the combines. And they're saying they're coming out with their second look survey of 208 million people watching the Super Bowl. The last time, Major League Baseball got big numbers in their World Series.

I'm just asking your question. I don't know. I don't have the answer in front of me. But I'm guessing since the top viewed shows in America are NFL football games, it's probably not baseball. So good luck, God bless. HBO Max. I mean, okay, congratulations, I guess.

Good for you. HBO Max just dropped a couple hundred million dollars. A couple hundred million dollars to get soccer. All right. HBO Max officially getting into the live. sports business, eight-year deal with the U.S. Soccer Federation. It's going to see TNT and

TBS, along with HBO Max, are going to air 20 U.S. Women's and Men's National Team matches beginning in 2023. About half of those matches will stream on HBO Max and air on TV with the rest

exclusive to HBO Max. I mean, probably a pretty good deal. In the next eight years, soccer is growing, and there won't be any baseball. And so why not View Plus worldwide? That ups their subscription rate huge, right? Because people, you know, around the world are going to want to watch the soccer games. And, you know, while they're there, I will stop in and we'll watch our HBO Max shows. Oh, okay, a good deal. So, yeah, it's probably a really smart move. Good job. Thanks for calling you and letting me.

I told you. I told you get the soccer. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. So our friends at Wallet Hub have come up with 47 key indicators of immoral and illicit behavior. and now their data set ranges from violent crimes per capita to excessive drinking to the share of the population with gambling disorders. And we have the most sinful states in the United States of America.

Now, you know, maybe we go the top 25? Because I, you know, I'm looking at the top. Of course, hello. The most sinful states is the number one. Guess with me? Nevada. Of course. I mean, that's a given.

Hello. Duh. Because, I mean, drug use, gambling, sex. What state do you think? of when you think of drug use, gambling, sex? Florida? Oh, well, that's not, that's number four. What state do you think of drug use, gambling, sex, Texas,

as number three. Man, it's strong. I'm a little pissed that Florida's below Texas, to be honest with you, but maybe that's just because of me. Possible. I bumped him up a little bit on this. Number two, drug use, sex. What was the other one again?

Oh yeah, gambling. I don't gamble anymore. That's the problem. Gambling is such a huge thing now. And I was reading a big article on sports gambling and where it's headed. And it's really fascinating. I mean, first of all, I mean, money is no object. I mean, these guys are, people are gambling.

but it's the micro gambling that is going to be big in the next few years. They're working on new apps now that you'll be able to micro gamble during the live events. So you'll be able to say, oh, that guy's going to complete a pass right now, and you'll be able to bet on it right then. You won't have anybody have any gambling issues with that. So winners and losers And then you can micro gamble now Not that fast though You know you have to set it up

But they'll let you bet on You can bet on you know Whether a guy's going to blow his nose In the third quarter or not Not quite sure if you can actually bet on that But why not give it a shot But the micro betting With an app on your phone is going to be

If you'd like to advertise on chewing the fat I will do a micro betting show for you I promise you that, man. It's just incredible. So Nevada and California. Did I mention? I didn't even mention California yet. That's number two.

I mean, okay. All right. There are a lot of people moving out of there, though. A lot of sex and sin coming to Texas from California, which is why we're number three now. So you got Nevada, California, Texas, Florida, coming in at number five. The great state of Louisiana.

Of course. Duh. I totally don't shake your head. Of course it is. And moving up, picking up a pair to number six. I don't know what they were before. Let's see. 2014-65.

Yeah, that's good. Tennessee. I mean, that's because Nashville is growing, right? I mean, Nashville, all the centers and druggies and gamblers. They're all going to Nashville. And then Pennsylvania. Oh, Pennsylvania number seven. Amazing, I have lived in the state.

I can't. I mean, like, okay, so I haven't lived in Nevada. Although I'm willing, high desert. Out there with our bell, I'm there. I haven't lived in California, although I've been out there multiple times. I love California. I could live out there.

And I almost moved there at one point. That's another story. But I will tell you that I was going to move out there I don't know that I've ever told this story I was going to move out there I had a friend that was living out there And he said yeah come out out Please you know stay with me

And I was like okay I was really thinking about it Because at the time I was living in The Great State of Michigan Which is 22 of the most sin states in Michigan So right there If you look at the map of Michigan The lower peninsula is where I was living. So, I mean, it's dropped down to 22 since I've left, man.

Sad. Sad. It's going on to Michigan. But my friend said, yeah, come on out to California. Come on, man. California's happening. Everything's fine out here. And then he gets kicked out of the state by a judge who told him,

go to a rehab place in Michigan. Go back home to Michigan and get rehabbed. I don't want you in this state anymore. So it's probably a good thing. But I did go out there. Because it could have been a... I could have moved California up to the number one slot. That's what going to happen there.

And then Illinois, I guess, you know, Chicago there, right? I mean... All right, they're 10th. South Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, nine and eight. Those two kind of surprised me as, Although, you know, I mean, I guess Georgia. Okay. South Carolina kind of surprises me, though.

I mean, it would be just cooking meth in South Carolina? Oh, no, Jeff. Columbia is a great city. It's a huge city, it's a big city here. Columbia, South Carolina. The city that gave a cockroach crawling across me in a hotel room. I will never forget Columbia, South Carolina. Okay? Never.

Woken up in the middle of the night as a cockroach crawled across my chest in a hotel. Wide awake, I hunted that son of a gun down. I moved the coffee table. I was moving to say it's up and there he was.

Hovering in the corner, looking at me with eyes of So, what are you going to do? That's what he realized. Size 13, dead. Who died today? The cockroach in South Carolina.

Speaking of sins though, and I know it's probably not a sin, but you know, cutting yourself to clown face. But I see where Bradley Cooper everybody was making a big thing out of his new face at the SAG Awards. And I was looking at the pictures of him. Oh yeah, Bradley.

Definitely take care of little fillers here and there. I don't know if we're, We're doing any cuts, but we're definitely doing fillers and taking care of a little business on the Bradley Cooper face. And then I see where Matthew McConaughey is talking about he never had hair transplants. Right. Oh, no, that doctor that's been going around saying he gave me hair transplants, he's lying. Okay, so maybe that doctor is lying. Right?

But I don't know that the hair transplant thing is a lie. He claims that it is. He says that he started shaving his head back in the 90s because he was losing his hair. And then he had this goo, a special goo that he rubs on his scalp. I don't know. That's what he's, I don't know if it's that goo or not. I don't know if it's been this goo or not. Oh, maybe that's why he doesn't talk about it.

but he talked about rubbing the topical ointment on his scalp once a day. It's possible. I don't know. I don't know. But he claims no propitia. No, all right. Enough with the goo.

No propitia, no nothing. It was just manual labor. I was fully committed. Right, I was fully committed. I know. it could be it oh my gosh

get Matthew on the phone I want to talk somebody get Matthew on the phone right now I want to find out if I mean that's why he's fighting so hard he doesn't want people to realize I didn't get hair transplants the doctor is lying

I had my own special what did he call it topical ointment I mean if it works I'll let you know this episode is brought to you by Peloton a new era of fitness is here

So they're not, I know, I'm waiting. I'm waiting. I think Elon, the guy, Elon's ex-partner said we'd be, he might be ready to create an actual Jurassic Park. Okay. Let's get it. I see the previews of the new Jurassic Park look awesome.

The final one. I'm excited for it. But I was reading a story where a guy is trying to make a settlement, a Viking settlement, like a Viking theme park. Okay, the kind of Vikings are kind of big now. I mean, every time I turn around, there's a new Viking show on television and people talking about the Vikings coming over. So if you wanted to be a, this guy wants to be a,

make a, you know, an authentic settlement from the era. Okay. So there's going to be, what, grass structures, a couple of wood frames and a couple of beaten up ships and maybe some, some treasure. So he wants to have his own treasure. He was talking about having some kind of coins that the kids could find, you know, that he could go out there and he said that he would have a field for people to take part in, you know, shield building.

And maybe you could get into sword fighting. I'm sorry, weapon fighting. and provide an opportunity for children to try out their own creations. And it's going to be on the Isle of Man. Now, he guess he has four acres already. He's waiting for the okay to build his Viking theme world. But four acres seems like it should be a little bigger. I mean, I feel like

if we want to go to Viking land and it's only four acres out there on the aisle of man that might not be a destination for you. I mean, you need a couple of, maybe I don't know that I want to stay in a Viking hotel that's, you know, a recreation of the times. I want to say, you know, four seasons and then walk out and say, oh yeah, Viking land.

I'm going back to the pool now. This kid. You kids go play. Bring me back your little Viking coins, okay? And we'll all be good. All right, thanks. So look forward to that. And you'll be able to take care of a little Norse history in the Viking world out there on the Isle of Man.

He wants to be known as folk vanger. Folk Vagher. Amorpha Fallon. Pretty close. F-O-L-K. V-A-V-A-N-G-R. Folkvagger. So, when they're advertising,

you'll hear, hey, come and come to the Viking settlement. Folkviger! Amorpha Phallus. And you'll know exactly where it is. It was just pointed out to me that one of the best theme parks in the world on the planet, Gator Land. All right.

110 acres. So, I realize it takes a little bit more ground to take care of gators that it does to say, yeah, you can build a shield over there. And that building there is kind of what it looks like. And that's what it was like for the Vikings to live. And if you want your kids to go through the brush over there, they can probably find a couple of coins that resemble Viking treasure.

And, you know, pay me $10 at the gate. and you can enjoy Falk of Anger. Amorph a phallus. So, you know, have fun. I realize that. But four acres? That's my point. That's my point.

I mean, Gatorland could have a thousand acres, and it still would be awesome. But it has 110. I am not a mathematician, but 110 acres seems a lot better. Then four. Maybe it's just me. I mean, speaking of Vikings and finding stuff,

I was looking, I talked a little bit about it last week about the animals, bugs, and artifacts section of my show prep. And it continues to grow. But, I mean, they are finding stuff all over the globe now. That, you know, old stuff. Yeah, it's old stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, look, you call it whatever you want. I'm calling it old stuff. They found the fossil of the flying reptile that once ruled the skies, the largest ever found. Let's see how big that bad boy was. Wingspan of eight feet. Roughly 170 million years ago.

It was a little while ago. 170 million years ago. I feel like that's going to change. I feel like they're going to say, you know, it only wasn't 170 million years. But, you know, I don't know. They discovered the dinosaurs with the flu pandemic. Right?

We had that. We've discovered the dinosaurs with the crocodile, or the crocodile that had the young dinosaur in its stomach, the fossilized crock. We found, they had a horned helmet that they just found that predates the Vikings. Yeah, you're not going to see that at Volker. Amorphophalus.

Not going to see it there. I'll tell you that. they had the badger that just dug up a bunch of Spanish coins. I know. These coins, they don't know if they were buried there on purpose or if somebody, you know, dropped them running away from, you know, hiding. But they were 209 Roman caves or Roman coins. Okay, that's pretty good.

I'd like to have a couple of those bad boys. It'd be fun. And then they found my favorite story is they're digging up Revolutionary War cannons out of the Savannah River. How's it, wait, why are they? They're what? Yeah. They found 12 Revolutionary War era cannons

hauled up from the murky depths of the Georgia's Savannah River. So they found 15 over the past year. Pretty cool. Pulling those things up out of the water. I mean, and you wonder, wait, why were there cannons in the river? Well, climate change. Wait, what? No, it wasn't that climate change.

You believed it, though, didn't you? That's right. That's where we're at in today's world. Sadly, that's where we're at. You believed it. So apparently, they found the cannons and cannon balls, and they were at the deep point of the river. Now, I guess that they were sinking them to block the ships coming in during the Revolutionary War.

Okay, fine, whatever you say. I guess these were also on some ships that got sunk in this river at the time as well. All right. So now you're going to have to, you want to be the guy cleaning those bad boys up, though? Yeah, it might be fun. that might be fun I mean I don't want to do it but I'll be happy to walk by and say

hey keep up to good work it's looking good you gotta shine up a little bit underneath over here you missed a spot I'm willing to do that and point that out to them no problem as long as we're talking about fossils no I'm not gonna you thought I was gonna tell

some joke didn't you about Joe Biden I know but I'm not going to a man in Tucson Arizona was arrested because he stole a fossilized dinosaur claw. So he goes to a gem and mineral show. And man, do I love gem and mineral shows. You can't tear me away from a gem and mineral show.

When they come to town and you're able to just walk through and see the different vendors at their different tables, see what they have and shine up the new little, shiny rocks, minerals. Man, it's fun. And they have patches, t-shirts. Oh, you just spent the day there. And this guy had a fossilized dinosaur claw.

Worth 25 grand. He brings it to the city's annual, you know, the Tucson Mineral Show. I mean, that's where you, if you had a fossilized dinosaur claw and you wanted to show it off, you would, of course, bring it to the Tucson. gem and mineral show you just have to

and so the guy deep pockets it all right this guy Thomas that's a stupid name Christopher Thomas deep pockets the claw and walks out so they report them and you know it's whatever the guy's pissed he's missing his fossilized dinosaur claws or 25,000

I had it stolen at your gem and mineral show so now Christopher Thomas has got this fossilized dinosaur claw, he doesn't know what to do with it. He might know what he's got, because he might have probably asked the guy, hey, what are you getting

for this thing? I'll give it to you the name for $25,000. Hey, look over there. And then deep pox it and walks away. So that's the way you steal things at a gem and mineral show. So then he doesn't know how to sell it. So he goes to another vendor

and tries to sell the claw, and the vendor's like, that looks like the one that stolen from the Gem and Vineril show. Any reports of him gets busted. So you got to know what you're stealing and you got to have a fence. I mean, it's clearly not that kind of fence. You got to have a person or someone or something that wants to pay you for it. Okay, that's what the point is of stealing it.

Okay? Let's get that through your head, Christopher Thomas. That means this was just an act of, you know, he didn't implant it. It was impulse. He had the claw. saw the opportunity he took it, but he didn't realize how tough it was going to be

to hawk the fossilized dinosaur claw. Because if you go up to somebody on the street, hey, want to buy a fossilized dinosaur claw? Odds are you're going to have to go through a number of people before you find somebody that says yes.

And then, if you were to come up to me and say, hey, I got a fossilized dinosaur claw here. I'm going to say, let me see it. What do you got? No, no, no. Although.

Anyway, the, he's going to pull it out. I mean, sometimes just what do I have to do? Seriously. All right, just this. So I pull out the claw. The guy pulls out the claw and he says, $25,000. I'm not giving the man $25,000.

Because I don't know. This guy's pulling a claw out of his jacket. Yeah, I got this. the Jeb and Mineral Show in Tucson. It's worth $25,000. I'll give you $10.000. I mean, you're on there. So that's it.

So then he had to go back to another vendor that actually knew what he was talking about. That's awesome. And so, he's got a felony charge of trafficking stolen property. Trafficking stolen property. Shut up. The guy stole it. He took it out of the building.

We tried to sell it. It's trafficking of stolen property. What are you talking about? All right. All right. So the state of the union was last night. I know you're thinking, wait,

you're just talking about dinosaur claws. Well, I got to get the state of the union. I mean, it's, I know. I know we don't ever talk about politics on the show. And I don't really care for it.

And I know I tried to give you a break. Every other show talks about it. So I, but I want you to be aware that it happened. So it did happen. All right, the State of the Union speech from our president, Joseph Robinette Biden, happened last night on the 1st of March, 2022.

Okay. Now, I'll read you the last three tweets in my timeline for the state of the union. Okay. We need to secure our border, Joe Biden. You can't make this stuff up. does he even live in America seriously? Wait, is there a chance that Biden either heard or read the line, Go get him?

Which was intended to be for his handlers to pull him out of there? He ended the speech with go get him. And that had to be it. That's why it was telling his people to go get him. Now, I will say that he could have just all I wanted him to do. All I wanted them to do, come out. Ladies and gentlemen, President of the United States. The state of our union is strong.
