Well, let's start with good news, shall we? The food-grade automated cricket processing facility expected, well, it is the largest in the world, is setting up shop and it is open. Well, almost. Back in 2020, the Aspire company said that they were going to create a cricket processing facility. in London, Ontario, the London's Innovation Park, the Aspire Group and edible insect company, said construction on the 12-acre parcel of land at Veterans Memorial Parkway and the 401 is set to begin next month.

And it should be completed by the end of next year. Well, it's finally done. It opened at the end of last month, although it's not completely open. They're expected to be up and running by the fall. So those of you thinking that you're going to have, you know, those delicious crickets over the 4th of July from Aspire? No. More over the holidays, the end of year holidays, if it opens up in the fall. They're a protein-rich superfood, and they contain fiber and already found in grocery stores and restaurants and have a smaller environmental footprint than traditional protein sources.

That's great. Now, they open this facility and are opening this facility. It's going to create 60 whole jobs. It's just incredible to me. It's unbelievable. So it's going to be fully operational in the fall, and it's going to showcase first-of-a-kind, newly developed technologies, an automated storage retrieval system,

a new type of HVAC system, a 5G Internet of Things network, and an AI solution that's been recognized, by UNESCO. So you didn't think you were going to be creating actual human jobs, did you? No, no, that's not happening. However, it's good news that we will have

crickets for dinner over the holidays. Yum, yum. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Hello to all of you listening to the program at an airport today. Thank you for listening. I appreciate it.

I hope that you're as comfortable as possible at the airport that you're stuck in. One industry execs described this past weekend as travel Armageddon. So airports this weekend, I mean, over 5,000 flights were delayed or canceled on Sunday alone. 19,000 flights in the U.S. were canceled or delayed since Thursday. So there's plenty of people celebrating Father's Day in the airport. Oh, yeah, happy Father's Day. Those of you listening live today is the 20th of June, 22. And so yesterday was Father's Day.

I think we're looking at my 30-year anniversary of the tornado hitting my house on Father's Day. Yeah, well, the other house. I don't live in that house anymore. Anyway, for those of you stuck at the airport, bless your heart. I did get a text, no, a tweet from a listener who was asking me the best place, the best place to sleep at an airport. Well, at DFW, to be exact. And I told them, you know, the stories are that, you know, Terminal 1 or A or whatever it is at DFW is where the homeless stay. So you just need to find a place close to a rest.

room facility so you can wash up and use you know the restroom as needed and you need to find an electrical outlet so that you can charge your devices and you need to have some sort of you know extra two or three chairs that come together without armrest so that you can lay down and get comfortable you're welcome by the way you're welcome but so as part of travel armageddon I see where boy george got all butt hurt because uh Victoria Beckham everybody wait to get off the plane and he was pissed he said well i'm going to stop flying british airwaves uh they let beckham off the plane first uh boy george tweeted that he now knows it cost six thousand dollars to get off the plane before everyone else oh okay so apparently he was on the same flight as victoria beckham and he was pissed because uh british airways said everybody waits victoria's got to get off and uh so they left everyone and first class waiting for Victoria to get off the plane. Apparently, they've got this deal.

They were all flying back to London from the U.S., and apparently they have this deal. The Windsor Suite at Heathrow Airport offers an exclusive VIP service that includes private suites, Michelin-Star dining, and being driven straight to and from the tarmac. According to the Telegraph, the prices for that service begins at $3,359. That's not the plane ticket either, I bet.

So you're our right. It's costing $6,000 to $10,000 for that. Why not? I mean, I guess that's cheaper than flying private. So, I mean, he doesn't like the spice girls anyway, so he's pissed at Victoria and the whole group. And so, you know, he's mad. But now I guess he's okay now.

He's okay. He said, all right, I'm back in love. with American or British airwaves and Victoria was innocent and all of this and so everything is okay now oh I thought you said you were not going to fly British Airways ever again maybe they gave you a deal maybe they said boy boy we're sorry all right we'll give you a we'll give you a VIP treatment the next time you fly with us okay oh okay everything's fine then no worries but for the rest of you sleeping at the airports the thousands of you that are stuck at airports man it is a tough time to fly these days it's

been a while since i've actually had to fly domestically and uh you know on a regular flight and and i'm glad that i haven't had to do it but i hear we talk about it all the time and now the airlines are complaining that they have a pilot shortage they have a uh uh flight attendant you know, sky waitress shortage. And they also, you know, they have plane shortages. Look, they've cut themselves back to so many flights. That's why they're all full and or overbooked. And so when something happens, say, a flight in one city gets delayed.

The domino effect is horrific. And that's what happens. And you're stuck at the airport forever. So, you know, just call. I hope you called home and said, hey, dad, we were going to be there to celebrate Father's Day. but no, we're now stuck in Charlotte. What a drag. Or whatever city you're stuck in.

I'm not picking on Charlotte, although I do remember a time being stuck in Charlotte. And while it was, you know, okay, you know, I lived with it. It was a long time ago. I would be really, really pissed in today's world. And I could, and I've got the Phoenix story to tell you. And it's just, you know, I've talked about that before where, you know, thanks to my wife. I wasn't thrown in jail, but I could have been.

And I was so angry at the flight attendant, the gatekeeper closing the door in my face. Oh, man. I'm still really angry. And I can see her, although I don't know her name. And I should have looked at that name tag. But I was so angry. I was blind with anger.

And I'm sure many of you are in that same boat today. If you're listening, if you're still at the airport, you know, half of the airlines um well i'm not i'm not going to apologize on behalf of the airlines although they should be apologizing and giving uh giving you whatever you need and i know our transportation secretary pete buddijed has said that the u.s government has the power to force airlines to hire more workers really really well let's just say that you do have that power who are they going to hire do you think that the airlines aren't looking to hire new people? Maybe the homeless people sleeping in

Terminal A at DFW are looking for a gig and you can say hey how would you like to be a sky waitress all you got to do is I don't know get educated at the job take a shower I mean that's all you got to do though it's all you have to do who's to whom are these jobs going to you look Forced them to hire people. Just, that's right, Pete. That's what we're going to do. Good times. Good times is what we're in.

I need something cold to drink.

desperately. Oh man. And I will say, this ice cold Coca-Cola Zero is freaking good. And I only say, I only remind you that it's a Coca-Cola Zero today, because I read from at fact over the weekend that Coca-Cola says only two people alive know the Coca-Cola recipe and they aren't allowed to travel on the same plane in case it crashes. I would like to apply to be the designated survivor with the Coca-Cola recipe. Just email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com, or, you know, direct message me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR or Instagram or Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio.

That's fine. I'd like to be the designated Coca-Cola recipe guy. I think that's the official title. So tomorrow is a big day. tomorrow is a big day. It is the, well, it's the first day of summer, the longest day of the year. And it's also nude hiking day. So I'm thinking about maybe joining in the celebration of nude hiking day.

And I've just got to try to find a, you know, find a place to do it. There's a lot of places that really, you know, frowned upon people walking around naked. And I, you know, what I say, I'm not walking around. I'm hiking. So it's a big difference. guess, right? Yeah, of course it is. Plus, it's the longest day of the year. Oh, man. I mean, so that's some serious time, uh, time hiking. Plus on top of that with all this, I mean, the heat and the bugs, you're going to need to remember, you know, some bug repellent, uh, maybe some

sunscreen. Maybe some sunscreen. You may need some sunscreen on some places that, uh, don't normally have sunscreen applied to them. I, you know, that's up to you, though, if you want to participate naked hiking day. So, you know, hike naked. I guess it's hashtag hike naked or naked hiking day, but if you're out and about, be sure to tag me in your naked hiking because, well, you know,

I just want to see where you are participating in this year's hashtag naked hiking day. I see where Heinz ketchup has done there, art of the burger contest. again. As you know, I'm a Hines-Sketchup police officer, and their Art of the Burger contest has returned, although I'm

a little, I'm a little disappointed. Okay, so if you win it, you get $25,000. That's pretty good. Pretty good. That's a fair prize. But, and you may end up being on their burger-fi menus, although they say that they

say, well, if we have to change your, you know, your creation, weekend. But they also, they have only 50 runners up. And those runners-ups, you don't even win any cash. You just get some burger merchandise, some Heinz art. I'm sorry, they call it bespoke Heinz art of the burger merch. That doesn't sound, I mean, that sounds a little cheap. I mean, why not, you know, you got to, come on, 50 runners up, there's going to get a T-shirt. Stop it. And they can win a little bit of them. bucks. But remember the burger must include

at least one of the sauces. They must have buns or bun-like enclosures. Must include a patty. A burger must be eaten with hands. I guess it could be a cricket burger. The burger must stand on its own. The burger must be edible. Submission must be original work. La, la, la. Contra created. Is that it be yours? And of course, you're not to disparage the sponsor or any other

person or party. Okay? Got it? All right. And you must not contain material that's inappropriate, offensive, indecent, obscene, sexually explicit, torturous, defamatory, slanderous, or liberous. And you must not make references that include alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, or firearms, or weapons, any activities that appear to be dangerous, or any political agenda. Plus, you have to contain material that promotes bigotry, racism, hatred, or harm against any group or individual, or promotes discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age. And it must not contain material that is unlawful in violation of or contrary to the laws or regulations in any state where the submission is created. You get to have five, five submissions, and then after that you get deleted.

Have a nice day. Although, I mean, the first five count. But I think, I mean, it says you only get to have five. But if on the sixth one you go, oh, that's the one I really want to do, do I, do I, I, Do I get to delete one of the first five? I don't think so. I think you get five and then that's it. Okay.

So during the contest period, you take the following actions. You need to tweet, post a photo that displays your original burger creation that features your full burger masterpiece. Include the hashtags contest and Heinz Art Burger. Also, submission and optionally provide a short description of the photo, 50 words or fewer, and a name for your burger, not to exceed 10 words,

within the original Instagram caption and post. Presentation is key, so make sure you capture your burger's essence up close and in focus. Your photo of the sauce should be central to the burger's theme. Your account settings must remain public during the contest period until the prizes are awarded. You must not change your Instagram or Twitter handle during the contest period and until the prizes are awarded. But it doesn't say, it says you get five entries, But it doesn't say if I can delete one.

I don't want that one. I know I submitted that one, but take it back. I take it back. Okay, I know this is my sixth one and you can cut me off, but take the fifth one back so I still only have five. All right, one of my five is submitted. That's the way it goes. I'm sure that they will tell you, oh, no, take a hike.

There are categories that you can enter, the minimalist, the classic. the maximalist the sculptural and the experimental I was looking at their gallery at you know art of the burger hines.com

and some of them look like oh no thank you have a nice day but okay that's the art of the burger though isn't it so good luck and if you're the champion and win the $25,000 on one of your five entries good for you good for you good for you. And if you're one of the 50 runner-ups and get that great t-shirt from Heinz, congratulations to you. Maybe you can put it on after you're done naked hiking, you know,

next year. Because you've got it until July 12th to enter and then the winner is going to be announced, I guess, in September. And I also see, okay, so it's not just a t-shirt. It is a Heinz Art of the Burger kit worth about 125 bucks that you get as the, you know, that you get as one of the loser prizes. And I see that you get the $25,000 plus the company is going to give you another $7,500 for their calling a tax gross-up payment. So you're going to end up getting $3.25. Oh, you still have to pay, you know, all the taxes on that.

So anyway, good luck. God bless. Did you see Lightyear this weekend? Yeah, a lot of people didn't. Sorry. Ooh. It opened in 4,255 locations. domestically and hit 43 markets overseas.

13 nations from the Muslim world and the Palestinian territory said, no, we're not going to air your movie here. And they were pissed because of the brief kiss between a lesbian couple. So, I mean, that's the angle that I guess we're taken. That, you know, it's because of the lesbian kiss. I would almost argue that it's because Tim Allen is not Buzz Lightyear. But what do I know? Jurassic World Dominion was not.

number one over the weekend, it has earned $622.2 million worldwide, with $259.2 million of that coming from the United States and Canadian theaters. Seventh movie released during the pandemic to surpass $600 million. Top Gun, fourth weekend, came in with $44 million to take third place because Lightyear came in second with like $51 million or something like that. So congratulations to them. The theaters are happy. They're saying that we've got three movies this weekend.

They made over 40 million. We haven't seen this in a while. We have a summer movie season here. Yay! So Jurassic World 58.7, light year 51 and Top Gun 44 are the top three. I loved the excuses, though, that the family audience has proved a little more reluctant than other segments to return to movie. theaters. Many studios,

including Disney and Pixar, have opted for streaming or hybrid releases for their animated titles since the beginning of the pandemic. And the company of sent its Pixar titles directly to Disney Plus for free to subscribers. Other big animated titles

got hybrid releases. So there's a little bit of confusion about whether it's just in theaters. Is that it? Is that it was just a little bit of confusion? Yeah, it was a little bit of confusion whether the parents wanted to have their kids you know be submitted to uh you know buzz and the lesbian love affair during the buzz light year movie but you know and whatever whatever makes you happy if you want to use that you know if you sleep

better at night telling yourself that fine no problem i personally think it had more to do with uh uh the buzz light year not being tim allen buzz light year not being buzz light year right light year wasn't light year that's my review This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

And Yellowstone is number 27. Yellowstone is 27th out of the 100. We're going to break down this list. I'm going to have to probably break this down tomorrow because I started scrolling through it.

And I'm like, ooh, no, I don't necessarily agree with that. Plus, I don't know if they mention dark winds. which just started. There's a couple episodes of that up on AMC Plus, on AMC and AMC Plus. The old man on stars, I think, are maybe FX, but really good, really good with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow. So I'm going to have to break down this list and then add to it, probably,

and take away some. Maybe I should start doing, you know, the chewing the fat list, and we'll just post that. Jeffie JFR. I might just do that. We'll just have to break down that list on tomorrow's podcast. So look for that.

I see where Amber Heard. The headline is, Broke Amber Heard spotted shopping at T.J. Max in the Hamptons? Please, stop it. First of all, it's still in the Hamptons, okay?

Call me like I tweeted when she's in Newark. When Amber is spotted at the T.J. Max in Newark in downtown Newark. What's wrong? with Newark. Have you been there? It's not the Hamptons. We'll just leave it at that. Okay. I like Newark better than the Hamptons. Okay, good for you. And one picture of her that has her shopping at TJMX, she almost looks like she's shoplifting. The way she's walking and

she's got that kind of look on her face and people are snapping pictures. I don't know. just seemed like a, you know, we're catching somebody shoplifting. That's the way the photo looked. But I'm, you know, Amber is out at least trying to get a little bit of her life back. I didn't break down any of her interview on ABC last week because it's just, I've had enough of her, you know, and she's just agonizing. I will. Sometime this week, we'll get into Amber Hurd. I've got, I've got so, I've got one block of stories on Johnny Depp and Amber Hurd.

And I just haven't gotten him because I just. Man, the miniseries that was that trial, it took a lot out of me. It took a lot out of me like, okay, enough. I just got to take a little break from Johnny and Amber. And that's what Depp did. I mean, he went off and started doing concerts with Beck and Jeff Beck, and just got away, right? He's not talking about it.

He hasn't done any interviews. He's just being himself. And Amber, you know, had to do her make good interview. And, you know, now she's still in Hampton. but she's shoplifting at TJ Max, I mean shopping at TJ Max. So, you know, just seems a little weird. I also see maybe she's working at the TJ Max. You know, who knows?

You might need a little extra cash. Or she's getting some ideas for her clothing line inside Meta. I know that they have an avatar fashion store now. They're going to sell virtual clothes for real. money inside the meta world. I love this idea. I want to do a morning show on the strip of downtown meta city. Absolutely.

You haven't even been inside meta. You don't even know what you're talking about. I know, but I want to, you know, I want to do a show of the main drag inside meta. I could sell my own stuff. A meta spokesperson said they would be priced between $2.99 and $8.99, obviously, you know, less than the real. It's, uh, but they've got, uh, Prada selling, uh, leather bags and ostrich bags.

They've got all these brands, uh, going to sell stuff in meta to, you know, so you could dress up your avatars the way you want. That's, you know, so you could be in your underwear at home, but you're wearing Prada. Hmm. Isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting? And then I see a post of this weekend that. that had and I was like, why is that trending? Relentlessly gay was trending this weekend on Twitter,

and I thought, why is that trending? And once again, making the rounds, the letter of, Dear resident of this address on Kenwood Avenue, your yard is becoming relentlessly gay. Myself and others in the neighborhood ask that you tone it down. This is a Christian area, and there are children. Keep it up, and I will be. forced to call the police on you. Your kind need to have respect for God, a concerned homeowner.

Now, I read that. And I thought, there's no way that that's real. I'm sorry, there's no way that's real. And it's making the rounds again. This started way back in 2015, taken by a Baltimore County woman who claimed that her neighbor complained her yard was becoming

relentlessly gay. And it makes the round. It's made the rounds a couple years later in 2018 and now I may have even made the rounds again in 2019 or so and it's making the rounds again and it's just it's not real she created a go fund me campaign after saying she received the note from a neighbor and then she's ultimately returned the $43,000 that she raised there were a few questions about the letters authenticity and you know taxes and an overabundance of resources. Uh-huh.

So it wasn't true. She has all the money she needs, and they were going to make her pay taxes, and it probably bumped her an extra $43,000 into a new tax bracket. So you know what? I'll just drop the whole thing. Don't worry about it. She decorated her yard with a rainbow-colored lawn ornament,

and I'm sure that, you know, she's looking away to try to make some money. and it started the firestorm that she decided, well, you know, I probably need to not. You know what? I'm just going to pull it. Don't worry about it. Here, go fund me, give everybody their money back.

I'm not going to have to answer questions about the letters authenticity because, I mean, we all know that it's not real, right? She didn't say that, but when they're, you know, I wasn't the only one. And this is back in 2015 when people were like, you know, that doesn't seem like someone would actually do that. that and not sign it, the concerned homeowner and the actual address. Oh, okay, then it's real. Then we all believe it.

And sure, the hatred, the hatred of people. And that's why they hate gay people because they're relentlessly gay. Okay. Right. But if you live in Calgary, the city of Calgary, by the way, in the province of Alberta, you may have been given a piece of paper with a police officer right there that are forcing you for jury duty. Like right now, you're leaving with us. There's a picture of a letter, Court of Queens Bench of Alberta summons.

You are directed to immediately attend to the courthouse, Calgary Court Center, and the city of Calgary, the province of Alberta for jury selection in the case of Her Majesty, the Queen. and R versus Hansra. Oh, okay. For this purpose, any peace officer is entitled to require you to accompany him or her to Calgary Court Center, the address, Alberta for said purpose,

dated at the city of Calgary and the province of Alberta on June 16th. So apparently, the sitting judge in any of these may, he or she may send out the sheriffs to go round up people for jury duty. under the special provision, the roundup provision, I'm a huge fan of provisions. Man, the roundup provision is probably one of my favorites. You can tell the judge when you get to the court.

I mean, if you're there at lunch, they went to this mall, and people were walking around the mall and eating lunch at the mall, and they were like, oh, no, you're on break. Yeah, you're going to, you have to go to court right now. You can come to the courthouse, with us voluntarily or in cuffs.

Oh, I guess I'll come then. You know, no problem. So they were just giving people the flyers in the mall. They were on break and they were saying, yep, here you go. Take care. You're coming with us no matter what. I love the line, you can come with us voluntarily or in cuffs. Oh, okay.

Well, I mean, I would be interested to see if they, did cuff anyone because you'd want to say, you know, you just pick me out of the crowd. I'm in the middle of eating my lunch and I've got to go back to work. Not now you don't, my friend. Not now. It's the matcha or the three ensemble Cadocephora of the fates that I just just need to denishy who energize so much. It's all over. The form of standard and mini-regrouped.

a better quality of price on on offmager or in magazine Okay

we have quite a list today on who died today Who died today? Who died today? I'll start

with Billy Kamitz voice actor passed away at 35 years of age. He was a

big time anime voice actor really good very sad he got cancer and i watched a post from him um i don't know a while ago a month and a half ago maybe two months something like that maybe not even that long ago really and he was talking about how he was moving back to pennsylvania with his family and he was fighting and he was taking treatments and things were going good and he was uh you know doing everything he could to beat the colon

cancer and then no no no very sad uh billy camitt's dead at 35 then we have two two actors from the netflix series of the chosen one were killed in an automobile accident uh they were and they were with other crew members they were in a van i guess going back to the airport or going back to where they were going to you know get out of there they had uh done they were done filming and They were down in Mexico. And they were, you know, I don't know what caused the accident, but they flipped the van off the desert road. And to these two actors, Ramundo Gardonia Cruz and Juan Francisco Gonzales Aguilar, you may know him as Paco Mufote, he they're both dead from the crash. the other members of the crew and the van were injured, but, you know, in stable condition.

Very sad. No news on what caused the accident. I'm not really sure what they're going to do with the show. I mean, everything is completely shut down now. Maybe they, you know, that's maybe they put the chosen one out. I mean, I think they were probably almost, well, maybe they weren't 100% done filming, but they were probably pretty close. So we'll see what happens with that series.

Then we have the actor Tyler Sanders, 18 years of age. He was been in all kinds of shows. I mean, he's been, he was in the 911 Lone Star and Fear of the Walking Dead and Magic, Mystery City. And he was, he just posted not long ago on his Instagram about, you know, styling him, he was wearing a suit, and he was in Colorado. And there's no news on what caused his death. What caused his untimely death at the age of 18 years of age. There's only a couple things that could have caused his death, right?

You've got, you know, an overdose of drugs. You have a suicide. Or you have a suicide. you know, sudden adult death syndrome that apparently has been going on for quite some time, but there's no connection to the vaccine at all. There have been people sudden adult death syndrome, sads, going on forever, according to the last story that I read. So I don't even know why I brought that up.

So it couldn't have been sads. So it's either a drug overdose or suicide, right, of this young kid. who had a huge promising career. He's been working and acting in all these shows and really starting to make a name for himself. Tyler Sanders, dead at the age of 18, very, very sad. And then we have, well, this is probably the saddest story in the Who Died Today segment.

Hundreds of dead penguins are washing up on the New Zealand beaches. I know. they're the mass die-offs of little blue penguins. They're the world's smallest penguin species. And they're washing up on the shore. Now, maybe it's because they can't fly. So if there's a problem, maybe they should learn to fly. I don't know.

There's the flightless birds. I got it. Okay. Still sad. I'm sorry. They've been washing up dead on the beaches. And these frequent mass die-offs are because of changing climate patterns. These hundreds of lifeless birds have been found in northern New Zealand since May,

and the exact number is, well, as difficult to determine because reports are still coming in. But they were tested for diseases and biotoxins. They appeared to have died from starvation. All the birds were at least half the normal weight. They had no fat on them, and all their muscle tissue had wasted away. Now, as you get deeper into the story, it talks, we're still blaming it on climate change, by the way. You get deeper into the story, we find out that, oh, it's not unusual for seabirds to die off in large numbers because of severe weather. But mass deaths among little blue penguins, which used to take place once a decade.

Oh, so it does take place. It did, but it's like once a decade. Now it's happened three times in six years. So we're starting to blame it on climate change. Okay. I guess they're saying that it's probably because of the climate pattern. So what they're saying is the, so because of the heat wave,

it's a double whammy for the penguins. So it's a rare occurrence for this to happen. But so what they're thinking is that the, because the water is warmer toward the top, the fish that they feed on moved lower. So the penguins can't dive that far. So they can't get down to the food that they eat. and they're starving to death.

Very sad. I mean, I can still in my head, I can see the little fish down in the cold water looking up at the little penguins going, nah, da-da-da-boo-boo, you can't eat me. So, I mean, it's possible that, you know, it will change, and this is just a fluctuating cycle of the planet. Huh.

However, that won't be the narrative on this, so you can count on that. You know, climate change means that we're, losing all kinds of animals and we must act and do something immediately. I mean, when we have little blue penguins that no longer exist, something is wrong with the planet, right? Right, although it does happen that they, all bunch of them die, you know, about every 10 years, right?

Yeah. Well, now it's been, you know, a couple of times, okay, three, in the last six years. So, I mean, it could be just a regular kind of thing on the planet, right? No, no, it couldn't be? No, no, it's all climate change in La Nina and we need to do something now. All right, whatever.

But it's sad that the little blue penguins are washing up on the shore. That's for sure. I mean, I don't want to see hundreds of these little penguins washing up on the shore. However, let me say this. Are there not animals that walk along the beach that eat the dead penguins

as they wash up on shore? So it is kind of mother nature doing her thing, right? I think so. And I'll leave you with this. I got an email referring to the story I did on last week, I think it was on Friday

last week, about Kim and Pete looking at the $225 million dollar home in California, Michael Eisner's place. And I was saying that it would be nice to be able to afford that. And, you know, there's no, there's not a chance in the world that I could come close to affording $225 million home. But it would be sweet to be able to.

There's no doubt about that. We can all have goals. I will never retain that goal. But if you win the lottery, you know, you win the lottery, $360 million or whatever, you take home, you know a couple hundred million you're not buying that place you still in the upkeep on that has got to be what uh least at least a hundred thousand a month and probably more way more than that so anyway i'm not getting it but according to dominic who emailed chewing the fat at the blaze dot com he's telling me to think big all right don't get so down he's telling me i should be able to do

it jeff it's no problem to afford a two hundred and twenty five million dollar home just 10% down that's a measly 22.5 million monthly payments of 1.2 million at 6% for 30 years. And there's no way Kim and Pete will be together for 30 years. Think big. I love it. That's what I think that's the motto of today's show. I only need 22.5 million for a down payment.

And 1.2 million. a month for mortgage payments. That's not counting upkeep. Remember that. 1.2 million is just the mortgage for 30 years. So, you know what? Your thanks, Dominic. I appreciate it.

I appreciate the warm thoughts on you thinking of me and making me, you know, have that positive mental attitude, think big. Normally, that's kind of like fat guy thought, you know, thinking big. And that's why I've talked about thinking big, about on airplanes and on trains,

where you sit down and you just have to think big so people don't sit next to you, right? You just have to man spread or anything like that. You just have to sit down and think big. So when people look at that area, it's already too full. You've got to think big. I mean, that's what I've got to do here. It's just a different way of thinking big. So that's it.

I'm sorry. I'll let you go. Thanks for listening to Chewing the Fat. And always think big. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content. at the blaze.com slash podcasts.
