And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
Missing a blue and white box with human heads in it.
They belong to size.
Science Care, a body donation to science program that helps future generations through improved scientific research and education.
Apparently, someone broke into a parked truck in broad daylight and stole a box of human remains along with the dolly.
So I don't know if we're ever going to get the dolly back.
I'm guessing that the blue and white box either gets found sitting by itself somewhere or it's already in a dumpster.
And the dolly is just in a garage somewhere.
Somebody decided, hey, there's a dolly with a box.
I wonder what's in it.
I'm going to take it.
Get it home.
Ooh, a box full of heads.
Ooh, no thank you.
Dumpster quickly.
So if you live in Denver's leafy central.
Central Park neighborhood.
Just check the dumpsters because I bet you that box of heads is in a dumpster somewhere.
Nobody's going to keep it.
I doubt someone actually said, hey, science care.
You know the body donation to science program that helps future generations through
improved scientific research and education?
Yeah, they've got a truck parked over there with a box full of heads in it.
And there's a dolly with it.
Let's go ahead and take that and see if we can get some money from them.
I mean, maybe they will.
Maybe we're waiting for, you know, maybe they were kidnapped and they'll get some sort of phone call saying, hey, science care.
Yeah, I've got your box of heads.
I need $10,000.
I need $100,000.
I need a million dollars.
Does science care pay it?
I think they do.
Welcome.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
Plus, just as a side note, why are you parking your truck or your van with a box full of heads in a neighborhood?
I mean, aren't you picking up the heads from wherever you're getting the heads and taking them directly to the processing place?
Seems like that was just a poor set of a fair.
It wouldn't surprise me if someone loses their job.
I would just got to stop off at Millie's place for.
a little bit. Get some coffee, maybe a little afternoon business, and I'll be back to the truck.
Oh, no, what happened to my heads? Absolutely happened. Absolutely. So maybe, you know, maybe the guys that
took the heads thought that it was the Japanese mermaid. I see where the 12-inch creature that was
allegedly caught in the Pacific Ocean off the Japanese island of Chicago, between 1736 and 1741,
and it's been kept in a temple city of Asakushi, has a grimacing face, pointed teeth, two hands,
and hair on its head and brow, and it has an eerily human appearance, except for its fish like lower half.
Well, now, the researchers from the Karasik University of Science and the Arts have taken the mummy for CT scanning in a bid to unravel its secrets.
Because it is said that if you bite into the old mermaid, you will never die.
If you eat a little bit of the flesh of the mermaid, immortality.
I mean, are you taking a bite from it?
I don't know.
Maybe you do.
That's the legend in many parts of Japan
That a woman accidentally ate the flesh of a mermaid
And lived for 800 years.
So the Yao Bakuni
Y-A-O-B-I-K-U-N-I legend
Is also preserved near the temple
Where the mermaid mummy was found.
I heard that some people
Believing in the legend used to eat the Skate.
of mermaid mummies.
Oh, okay.
I guess Hiroshi Kynonishida
of the Okayama Folklore Society
believes the creature may have religious significance.
So we've worshipped it,
hoping that it would help
alleviate the coronavirus pandemic,
even if only slightly.
He believes that now they're going to take
CT scans and see exactly
what this creature is.
So we'll find out what the grimacing face,
pointed teeth, two hands and hair on its head and brow.
It has an eerily human appearance,
except for that fish-like lower half.
And when you see it, you think to yourself,
ooh, do I really want to take a bite of that?
Well, you do if you want to live to be 800 years old.
Or, I mean, I guess 800 years is,
equivalent to immortality, but not really.
I mean, immortality is, you know, forever.
But at the end, by about 750 years, you're probably thinking,
holy cow, I got to get this thing over with.
I mean, I see where a guy in the DRC,
the Democratic Republic of Congo,
which is beautiful this time of year,
he just married triplets now one of two things is going to happen all right he's either going to wish he could take a bite out of the mermaid and live for 800 years and maybe that's what he wants today marrying triplets i mean that's that's that's a hard work right there that's that is some hard work right there but and you know everyone who's married
and that was exactly what I'm talking about.
However, after about, I don't know, what do you think?
100 years?
You take a bite out of the mermaid and you got 100 years with the triplets.
Maybe you're thinking, holy cow, what did I do?
So apparently the guy met one of the triplets and he fell in love with her.
And then she brought him home and said,
oh, hey, these are my sisters.
We're triplets.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And they all became in love.
I mean, you can see how that could happen.
You just fall in love with all of them.
And everyone was all happy and in love.
So we just went ahead and married them all.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's kind of good, right?
Well, his parents are a little unhappy.
They don't understand what he's doing.
And they kind of, you know, backed off away from him.
But, you know, the triplets.
were like, hey, we've shared everything
our whole life.
And our dreams came true
without being separated by husbands.
God heard our prayers.
So this guy in the DRC married triplets.
That is...
Congratulations, I mean.
That is congratulations to him and them.
And I'm glad that nothing could stop their plans
because everyone, look, it's love.
And you can't put a time limit,
you can't put an age limit,
and you can't put an amount of humans on love.
You just can't.
Love wins all.
I don't know if you share the same house,
the same bedroom,
or you share the same house,
but different bedrooms,
and Mondays with one and Tuesdays with the other,
and Wednesdays with the other,
and then Thursday and Friday is with all of them,
and then the weekend, maybe you take a break.
I don't know.
I don't know how it's going to work.
But it would be fascinating.
I mean, this is a reality show.
I mean, he's ready to make some money right now.
Right.
I mean, this is definitely a reality show.
And we need to be filming right now.
This has to happen.
There's no question about it.
I want to see it.
I don't care if it's on what.
streaming platform it's on it needs to happen right now i want to see the marriage eto
on whatever streaming platform that you want to spend the money on it because you know you're
watching it i'm not sure what you're i'm not sure what i'd call it though you have three sisters right
you have uh natalie you have nadege and natasha the three sisters and so
And then you have the man.
So you have, I don't know, three ends and a man.
Maybe I like that name.
Three ends and a man.
Or what's his name?
He's being called in the story by one name, Louiso.
So three ends in Louiso.
Louiso and the sisters.
Triplets and Louiszo.
Now, I don't like that either.
I don't like any of those.
We've got to come up with something new.
If you've got a good name for the new,
for the new show.
show, email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
We have to have a name.
This has to be a reality show.
Has to be.
And I'm not sure how good it is living in the old DRC these days.
Maybe that's what you, that's maybe that's what you call it.
Three women and a man in the DRC.
Love in the DRC.
Oh, maybe I like that.
Love in the DRC.
A worldwide.
exclusive on Amazon Prime.
Yes, that has to happen.
Okay, before we head into the break room,
I want to talk to you a little bit about the future of how you listen to things.
We know that a lot of people didn't even make resolutions this year,
and I mean, I believe me, I get it.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't still find a way to shake things up a little bit,
whether it's by switching out your workout routine,
if you have one or going someplace new,
whatever way you challenge yourself this year.
I mean, we're still early on in 2022.
There's no better way to do it than with a pair of Racon wireless earbuds in your ears.
Racon wireless earbuds are the best way to bring audio with you.
Because no matter how much you shake things up,
no matter how much you shake, you know they're not going to fall out of your ears.
And they're so comfortable once you put them in.
their everyday earbuds look and feel and sound better than ever.
There's also the awareness mode for when you need to listen to your surroundings so you can take
rake-ons with you wherever you go.
I have the optimized gel tips for the perfect in-ear fit.
And as I said earlier, they're so comfortable.
I put them in and, you know, I'm walking around the house and I'm listening to whatever
I listen to.
Of course, you know, you have to follow the chewing the fat rule of when you're, you
you're listening to something.
And when asked, you have to say, you know, you're listening to Two in the Fat,
no matter what you're listening to.
But I leave them in.
And then the next thing I know, I'm, I've got whatever I was listening to off.
And I've just got the headsets in.
I've just got the wireless earbuds in.
And it's like, Dad, what are you listening to?
Well, I mean, you know I'm listening to Two in the Fat, but really nothing,
because I just leave them in my ears.
I mean, they have eight hours of playtime, 32-hour battery life.
They're priced just right.
You get quality audio at half the price.
of other premium audio brands.
It's really no wonder Raycon's everyday earbuds have over 48,000 five-star reviews.
Right now, you, the Chewing the Fat Listener, can get 15% off your Raycon order at Buyraycon.com
slash Jeffey.
That's buy raycon.com slash Jeffey to save 15% on Raycon's.
Buyraycon.com slash jeffy.
Jeffie.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink desperately.
Oh, man.
Man, so good.
So I see where, did you go see the Batman this weekend?
Because I did not.
And I know my kids wanted to go and I blew them off.
And I should have gone because it's like 18 hours long.
And, you know, the weekend is a good time to go see it.
But that did rank in 128.5 million.
Now, I love how they say, you know,
It's more than any movie this year.
Uh-huh.
Well, it's only the first of March of 2022.
And I know that, you know, the 128.5 million is good.
And, you know, we're coming out of post-pandemic.
But Spider-Man, I believe, got like 250 or 60 million on its opening weekend.
So not quite as good as the old Spider-Man.
but I'm told that it's really good.
All the reviews were really good.
My son has been, you know, dying to see it,
and he's been reading all about it from the very beginning.
And I know it's only, it's under three hours.
I get it.
But still at the theaters, that's a long time.
So I'm probably going to go see it this week.
And I'll give you a review of the brooding Cape Crusader
that Robert Pattinson is.
And I know, you know, Zoe Kravitz.
and she's okay.
I mean, she's kind of a weird one,
but so are they all.
I mean, it's Hollywood.
Let them be weird.
Leave them be.
So I'll let you see.
If you went to see it,
email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
Let me know what you thought of it,
because I will be going to see it this week sometime,
and I'll give you a review of the Batman.
Okay.
And also, I see where my main man,
you know him, you love him, Harvey Weinstein,
uh,
forced to a person,
I know. You're thinking Harvey, man, he's never apologized for any of that stuff. Well,
it's because he's not apologizing for any of the sexual harassment, sexual assault or rape charges that, I mean, that all crushed him, right? Me too. And the rape charges and sexual assault. I know it's under, uh, it's being appealed now. And we'll see what happens.
They claim that the appeal was pretty good. Uh, you know, I know he was sentenced to 23 years in prison and he,
He was extradited to California for trial on 11 more charges of rape and sexual assault,
and he's being housed at the Correctional Treatment Center, the medical unit, within the Twin Towers Jail in downtown Los Angeles.
And so I know the New York case is under an appeal now, and they were saying that the latest appeal meeting or appeal in front of a judge went really well.
but so he gets to meet with his lawyers face to face in Los Angeles.
And then after the last time that he had his meeting, his cell was searched.
And they found contraband.
And Harvey had to apologize for the contraband.
They caught him with milk duds.
Who knew?
Who knew in Los Angeles at the Twin Towers?
jail in downtown L.A., you couldn't have milk duds, but you can't.
And so he claimed it was an innocent misunderstanding.
It won't happen again.
I've been a model inmate following the rules and regulations.
And I'm sincerely sorry.
I believe him.
He claims he brought them in with him when he arrived from New York.
They claim that, no, that's impossible.
We searched everything.
We went through everything.
No way that had to be brought in.
You had to get, you know, get them snuck to you,
you slid across the table to you from one of your attorneys.
And so now they're saying that when you meet with your attorneys,
now they have to go through all the attorneys, you know,
briefcases, be searched and look through everything because it's, you know,
and plus, you know, every time he meets with his attorneys,
they're going to search his room.
I think they call it a cell.
He calls it a room.
And, you know, he's not going to be able to have milk duds anymore.
He claims he snuck it in.
He didn't throw his attorneys under the bus.
And his attorneys said, hey, you know, you want to search our binders and laptop bags.
Fine.
Go ahead.
But, you know, he's, you know, we won't, we won't, we'll make sure he doesn't have milk duds passed to him anymore.
I mean, come on now.
are we really milk duds?
Is that a contraband in prison?
I thought you could,
don't they have like a little store in the prisons in today's world?
That, you know, if you've got a little cash in the bank account,
you could go and buy some milk duds or some,
or some M&Ms or maybe some Skittles.
Because I thought Harvey, you know, since he's not feeling good,
he's under, I think he's a diabetic and he's got a few other things wrong with them.
So the milk duds, he probably shouldn't be eating anyway.
That's his little secret stash, you know, milk dut a day in the jail cell.
But no, no, this will not stand.
You cannot have milk duds in your prison cell, Mr. Weinstein,
which is why he apologized and called it a misunderstanding.
It's funny that we're just finding out about this now
because they were found November 10th.
That's quite some time ago, and we're just hearing about it now.
So kind of weird.
But anyway, he's got his trial in L.A. coming.
I mean, if he lose in L.A., which, I mean, it's probably going to happen,
you're looking at 140 years on top of the New York deal.
So, man, let the guy have a couple of milk duds.
I mean, even Morico Damien Guerrero, 20, from Ben Salem, Pennsylvania.
Ben Salem, is where my wife was born.
It's close to where we lived when I was living in Pennsylvania.
I mean, we lived right next door to Ben Salem.
I spent a lot of time the old Ben Salem, Pennsylvania.
Anyway, Guerrero is out on bail, $2,500 cash bail,
and he's required to wear a GPS tracker,
and is not allowed to travel to New Hampshire anymore from Pennsylvania
or contacting this lady in New Hampshire,
who he became obsessed with.
but he can get milk duds, I'll tell you that.
So apparently for a few days,
he was living in this lady's attic,
and they found food and headphones,
and they located a tracking device up in the attic,
who, you know, they said he was going to put it on her car,
and he took videos of her while she was sleeping naked,
you know, obviously without her consent,
stole some other items.
from her home and so he's you know now out on bail after he was arrested now the thing is okay so she's an
only fan's i don't know a star or his only fans star so he broke into her home and was hiding in her
attic but and i completely wrong absolutely yeah you could quote me on that completely wrong however
He had met her and she, you know, let the guy in her house and he got her address from her
because he said he wanted to buy her a television and fireplace.
You know, he was, you know, a fan of her only fans account.
And so he came to the house.
She let him inside the house.
Then, you know, she said that I had to keep.
kick him out, but he would call her and say, hey, I'm waiting out here on the sidewalk.
He would park in front of her house and sleep in his car.
And so he claimed that he came to the woman's house and he wanted to take back the television
he bought her.
That's when he broke in.
But he said he heard people talking in the house and then he went into the attic.
How many times?
How many times does that happen?
When you break into someone's house just to get a product you gave them back, you
realize somebody's there so you, you know, go up into the attic and hang out for a few days.
I know, right?
So he took stuff from the house.
She said she found stuff missing.
Really weird.
Really weird.
So be careful who you give your address to no matter what kind of star you are.
You know, maybe if you're a big only fan star and she's obviously, you know, just trying to make some cash for her and her kid.
You know, it's okay to look at her however she wants you to look at it.
the old only fans account.
Just don't be taking pictures of her from her from her attic while you're up there.
She doesn't know you're there.
And so, when the police came to look for them, they heard, they said they were searching
the home and went into the attic and then they heard heavy footsteps on the roof.
So they went out, if I went outside and brought him inside.
So, man, if you're breaking into somebody's attic and the police are coming, they're searching
the house, maybe you go up on the roof and be quiet.
not walk around.
He might have been okay.
I'm sure they couldn't have seen him on the roof had they,
you know, looked up there when they went outside.
But they heard him walking around on the roof.
Wow.
I mean, stalking, right?
That's holy cow.
Now, he's being charged with four counts of burglary.
That's it.
I mean, it's going to be.
got to be some kind of stalking and some other charges coming, right?
I mean, I don't know if he has an attorney.
I don't know if he can afford one.
You know, hopefully he can afford some milk duds every now and then as he stays in Pennsylvania,
not in New Hampshire.
Wearing his GPS tracker.
But only four counts of burglary for breaking in and living in this lady's attic for a few days.
Seems a little light.
Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

Okay, so those of you that were blaming your children this past weekend for changing your profile on Netflix, it wasn't them.
It was Netflix.
Netflix pulled all the Marvel Heroes avatars, and they replaced it with their, you know, generic avatar just to get you by.
You can still change it now.
You just can't have the, just can't have the Marvel characters.
your icons because they're gone.
It wasn't your kids, okay?
The Marvel heroes are off
of Netflix. They're going to Disney
Plus at some point in the future
and so the avatars can't be
on Netflix anymore either.
So I know.
I know you were probably bummed and hollering
at your kids and the kids were saying I didn't
do it and then maybe you realized
or maybe you haven't yet, but
it wasn't their fault. It was
Netflix's fault. Okay?
So just go easy on your
kids, all right? It wasn't their fault that your daredevil avatar was gone from your profile on Netflix.
Okay. I see where, speaking to Netflix, they are, they asked a federal judge to block prosecution, uh, over the controversial cutie films, which they should.
I mean, I know they keep, they're still under fire for the cuties film. And, you know, I know the prosecution is accusing them of spreading child pornography from cuties. Um, first of all, I watched the movie.
it was agonizingly bad.
So if you made it all the way through that movie,
like I did, I mean, I forced my way
to make it through that movie.
I would have stopped if it wasn't a point of watching this movie
to see what the big brouhaha was about.
And the movie was just bad.
And did it contain offensive depictions of children
being overtly sexualized?
That was what it was about.
So...
I find it difficult to
to really sue them over that.
But they keep doing it.
And, you know, Netflix is arguing that
there would be a violation of the First Amendment right to free speech.
I would tell the judges, look,
have you seen the movie?
It's bad.
That's the, we put it up and then we realized the movie was just terrible.
So, you know, we're sorry.
I also see where Netflix is launching a daily trivia series.
called Trivia Quest.
Maybe Netflix can call me, get a hold of me.
Maybe you can direct message me on Twitter,
Facebook or Instagram,
at Jeffrey JFR at Jeff Fisher Radio,
or email me,
Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com.
We could maybe put together a game show,
Netflix game show,
what's the lie?
You know, the game show heard
exclusively here on chewing the fat once a week.
Just saying,
Maybe they get a hold of me.
I see they've got their trivia quest.
It's interactive experience that's going to launch the 1st of April.
It doesn't look like it's actually April Fool's joke.
They actually discussed it not being an April Fool's joke in the story.
I think that makes it almost an April Fool's joke.
No, really, it's not an April Fool's joke.
Oh, it is.
Yeah, it is.
So I guess it's got, you know,
It's going to be another interactive title show in Netflix,
and it's going to run throughout April.
And so we'll see if it's any good.
And you're going to be able to replay the quizzes to rack up points
and correctly answer questions.
They're all going to be multiple choice questions.
And so we'll see.
We'll see if it actually is worth playing,
if it's adult or.
children oriented.
It looks as though the trailer is really toward teens to young adults,
but we'll see.
I mean, it's animated, and it's Willie trying to defeat Rocky,
and you try to set people free and gain and get points,
and it's, I don't know, it does not look,
doesn't look as fun as what's the lie could be.
I'll tell you that.
And speaking of Netflix,
They have decided to suspend their service in Russia, along with all kinds of other companies,
like hundreds of them, to be exact.
CNN, in fact, said that they were going to stop broadcasting in Russia because of a new law
that if you intentionally spread fake news, you could jail anyone that intentionally spreads fake news.
Oh, okay.
Russian officials said that the false information has been spread by Russia's enemies.
And guess who they are?
Oh, I know the United States and Western Europe and allies that are attempting to sow discord among the Russian people.
All right.
Great.
I mean, BBC and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation have also suspended reporting from Russia following the passing of this law.
It's really incredible.
I know that Elon Musk says Starlink won't block Russian state media in Ukraine.
Sorry to be a free speech absolutist.
Yes.
I mean, we're talking now about social media sites stopping.
I know TikTok said they were going to stop.
If you're suspending new content uploads and live streams,
because of the fake news stuff, you're missing some of the point of what you're supposed to be doing as a social media site.
But whatever, do you do what you want?
I know Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal are suspending their services in Russia.
American Express that it's globally issued credit cards will no longer work in Russia and Belarus.
You know, who's going to help Russia?
I wonder who is going to help Russia.
Oh, I know, China.
So we've got that to look forward to.
I mean, it's just an amazing thing of what's going on in around the world,
thanks to Russia invading Ukraine.
And it would almost seem like we, the United States government,
wants to continue without, you know, making us independent.
I mean, there's news of us, you know, of course we're buying oil from Russia, right?
Okay.
So I know that it's only 10% or maybe even less than 10% of the oil that we use that we get from Russia.
But without it, we're going to need that oil, right?
And I don't know.
We're trying to work a deal with Iran.
Iran!
We're trying to work a deal with Venezuela.
Venezuela!
There was news that we're now making inroads into Cuba again.
I don't think there's any big Cuban oil that we need to be worried about.
But, I mean, we're still, you know, opening the doors to Cuba again when we could be just turning the spickets on here in the United States of America.
I don't, I mean, I say I don't understand it, but, yeah, you know, I do.
I do understand it.
So, good news, and that's important.
I know Shell, the energy company, defended its decision to buy discounted Russian oil.
I know they were taking heat from Ukraine.
But they said, hey, we've got no alternative other than to buy oil to keep supplies flowing into Europe.
So that's what we're doing.
Okay.
You know, if that's what you got to do, you got to do.
It just seems strange that we're going through all these motions and saying that we can't believe that we're paying for the war by buying Russian oil.
When we could just say, no, we're not going to buy Russian oil anymore.
we're going to turn it on here in the United States,
and that would lower prices immediately here in the United States,
which is really what America wants.
But it doesn't seem like our leaders want it.
So there's that.
And now we've got airspace issues in Ukraine with NATO.
It's almost as if they want us in a war.
And I would like to say, how about no to that?
even if NATO has to get into a war with Russia to help Ukraine,
I would say that we say, you know, no, not right now.
We'll be over here.
Sure, you can, you know, you can fight them.
And we said we would help.
So here's some weapons and, you know, here's a couple other planes.
But we're not going to get our troops involved in that.
Okay?
Okay.
We're right back here for you, though, NATO.
You guys go ahead.

This luxurious wool throw for my sister.
This gold watch for my partner?
A wooden puzzle for my niece?
Leather gloves for my boss?
Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard?
At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winters?
Stop wondering. Start gifting.
Winners find Fabulous for less.
At least seven people were killed, including two children and a number of others injured after tornadoes ripped through Central Iowa on Saturday.
Six of the victims were killed after a twister touched down near the town of Winterset, roughly 20 miles southwest of Des Moines, estimated at an EF3 system with wind gusts above 136 miles per hour.
It marked the deadliest tornado in the state since 2008.
Between 25 and 30 homes were destroyed,
with the storms dropping baseball-sized hail in some areas.
At least 10,000 customers lost power with the Des Moines Airport temporarily shutting down
and requiring travelers to shelter in place.
Outbreak was rare for early March.
The state's tornado season typically peaks in June.
We also had friends of the network.
lose everything.
Dave Matthews and his wife, Faith,
their home and business were destroyed from these tornadoes.
And he had posted a few hours ago that the APR people,
American Pride Roasters, that's the coffee that we were all familiar with,
with Dave.
And so he said our house took a direct tornado hit last night.
The basement is about all that's left.
I couldn't assess everything last.
night. Everything related to APR, American Pride Roaster's Coffee is destroyed. We're only behind a
handful of orders, so I will refund those when I get a chance. I built my own roasting equipment.
I have no idea when we'll be able to return to business. Please say a prayer for us, for all those
who have and will help us, and especially for those who lost loved ones last night. So if you want to

And you can help them.
You can give whatever you can.
They've raised several thousand,
looks like over $7,000
as of this recording
for them to help get back on their feed.
Just devastated.
I mean, tornadoes are terrible.
My house was hit by a
tornado a couple years ago, two or three years ago, something like that now.
And it just blew off part of the roof.
According to Dave, at one point, it looked like he almost was going to lose his wife as the
twister almost sucked her up out of the house.
Just incredible.
They have amazing strength and power, and it happens so fast.
I remember sitting in the kitchen with my daughter watching and feeling and hearing
everything and it happened so fast and then it was over and the roof is laying in the backyard
and the fire alarm is going off and sprinklers are going off and it's just that's an incredible
horrible and I didn't have it near as bad as these people in Iowa so our prayers are definitely
with with you and hope that you get through this as best you can and then we have wildfires
in Florida I mean the thousands of acres
are being burned in the panhandle of Florida.
Evacuations are still taking place.
Thousands of homes have been burned or evacuated.
So you can keep the panhandle of Florida,
southern Alabama, in your prayers, especially.
It's just outside of Panama City.
I spent a lot of time in Panama City.
I had my first wife's family had big property in Panama City area,
Spent a lot of time up there.
And it's beautiful.
I love it.
And so they're dealing with that.
And so, I mean, right now, more than, let's see, 10,000 acres have been burned, right?
And a thousand homes have been evacuated.
I don't know.
Many of those homes have actually been burned.
Some of the footage coming out of the panhandle does not look good at all.
You can quote me on that.
Some of the footage from the wildfires.
does not look good at all.
So we've got tornadoes in Iowa.
We've got wildfires in Florida.
And if that, maybe the fires are a good thing.
And this is just, hear me out.
Okay.
So we get news that we have a parachuting spider that was first spotted in Georgia,
which is, I don't know, right there by Florida, if you look at a map.
And it's a spearm.
It's a species from Japan, and it's called the Goro.
It's a three-inch invasive spider.
And so now they're saying,
it probably came here from a shipping container.
And it's much larger than the average spider.
And it floats around the air using its webbing material as a parachute,
so it travels well.
And it's probably going to be a,
all over the eastern seaboard now.
So don't worry about when you see them
because they've got no predators.
So they are the predators, the
parachuting spiders. Maybe the fires
are a good thing. Maybe, you know,
who's ever in charge
of the planet, Mother Earth,
father Earth, brother
Earth, Uncle Earth,
cousin Earth,
who's ever
in charge of the earth,
decided, you know, maybe we could burn
some of those spiders out. So let's
burn them down.
Now, according to the experts, the JORO is completely almost.
Now, I love this.
Okay, so the JORO is almost completely harmless to humans.
Almost.
And it's going to, you know, still help to control the population of biting insects.
So that's good, right?
It's got fangs, but they're small relative to most human skin.
And it probably won't be able to get its fangs into you anyway.
So I don't even worry about it.
just stop it.
And so,
Annie claims that they generally
seek to evade contact with humans.
Do they?
They parachute wherever they want to go.
So are they able to,
are they skydivers?
Are able to move their parachutes?
Oh, I'll just land over here.
I think they probably just kind of land
where it takes them.
So likely it's not going to hurt you
if you get bit by them anyway.
It's less than a wasp sting.
And in the unlikely event that you get bitten by one, that's not so small.
The poison isn't going to hurt you.
So I'm sorry, the venom isn't going to hurt you.
Isn't venom poison?
Yeah.
Okay.
And it's not, so you'd be fine.
So just quit your widen, okay?
You better just, according to the experts, learn to live with them.
So that's good.
We have parachuting spiders just parachuting around the U.S.
So apparently they thought that they'd only stay in the southwest,
the lower, you know, in the southwest because they couldn't survive in the cold.
Right.
Because they kind of, you know, adjusted to the cold.
brother and said, yeah, you know, we don't mind it.
We could travel a little bit.
I'll parachute wherever this thing takes me.
Oh, okay.
So you're okay with colder areas?
Yeah, we're fine.
We're going to go up north for a while.
Okay?
All right, good.
So maybe the fires are a good thing.
That's what I'm going by.
The fires are a good thing getting rid of the three-inch parachuting spider.
So maybe it's just me, but I saw a thread last night on Twitter.
And, you know, it's from at cheese for everyone.
And so, you know, I guess I believe it.
It's just a Twitter thread story.
And it's a nice story.
It talks about seven years ago tonight.
I was sitting alone in my house watching something stupid on television.
It was a Friday.
My doorbell rang.
And my immediate thought was panic.
Who even knows I live here?
But I answered the door, and there was a man in his late 40s or early 50s.
He was holding a puppy.
He explained that he'd found this dog in his garage,
was asking around for its owner.
I told him the dog wasn't mine.
He asked me if I wanted it.
I said not particularly.
He then told me that he and his family had two dogs already.
They'd have to take the puppy to the shelter if they couldn't find his owner.
It just looked so sad and lost.
I couldn't stand it.
I told the guy that if I could not locate the puppy's owner,
bring it back and I would take it.
Sure enough, my doorbell rang the next morning.
I was asleep.
to the door and it must have been a man's wife and daughters and they were walking away they opened
the front door they turned around gave me the puppy and left and he took the picture the day that he
he got the puppy and he posted the picture and then he posted a few more pictures and he grew into it
but eventually he stopped at around 40 pounds or so i call him my pocket pit because he thought
it was going to be a big pit bullish kind of dog but no it was just a you know a mutt and it's his
pocket pit and there's some pictures and it's just cute
and he loves his chair and, you know, everybody's so happy, great story.
You're lucky he found you.
And the only thing I could think of during the whole thing, I kept with, and I know,
it's a cute little story, and, you know, I love it, fine, I got it.
But the only thing I could think of through the whole thing, and maybe it's just me,
maybe it's just me.
I was thinking that, you know, seven years ago tonight, I was sitting alone in my house
watching something stupid on television.
It was a Friday.
My doorbell rang, and my immediate thought was,
panic. Who even knows I live here? But I answered the door and there was a man in his late 40s and
early 50s. He was holding a puppy. He explained that he'd found his dog in his garage and he was
asking for its owner. I told him the dog wasn't mine. Then all of a sudden the dog seemed as if it
jumped out of his arms and ran into my house. I turned to get the dog and that's when the man
slammed me in the head and dragged me in my own house and stole everything from my house. I don't know.
I mean, if you wanted to rob somebody, that would be the way to do it, wasn't it?
Just show up with a little puppy in your arm and have them open the door.
Hey, I just found this dog.
Is it yours?
And then, you know, kind of accidentally throw the dog like he's jumping out of your hands into the house.
So everybody kind of turns around and looks at the dog and that's when you can break in.
Maybe it's just me.
Ah, yeah, it's probably just me.
