Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Okay, we need to help the family of Jeffrey Meriwether. He died in 2019. His body was shipped from Atlanta to a special trauma lab in St. Louis. Except now the body has been missing in transit for over three years. We believe the last known location was Austell, Georgia. Now, the family has called the situation,

A nightmare you can't wake up from. Both FedEx and the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office, who sent the body through the mail, cannot provide clear answers on Maryweather's whereabouts. Oh, okay. I mean, his body was found partially decomposed in 2019 in Atlanta, prompting the medical examiner to ship the body to a special trauma lab in St. Louis.

However, it never arrived, and we are still looking for it. Well, the reason we know about it now is that the Atlanta Journal Constitution published a story about Meriwether on Twitter and tagged the company in the post. FedEx responded with their bot Twitter response, this is not the experience we want to provide. I am very sorry for the pending delivery. Please send a direct message. I would be happy to assist. that's since been deleted so if you have any idea where geoffrey mary weathers remains are you know help them out tweet fedex tweet the atlanta journal constitution however you want to help that's fine

um they're trying to find out what happened to them apparently uh you know there has been no real rush to try to find them i don't know that that that's true. According to the company's user manual, human remains are forbidden from being posted using FedEx. The U.S. Postal Service offers to courier them, but only under strict guidelines.

So usually remains are transported across state lines using an airplane. It's unclear what form of transportation Maryweather's remains were moved by. So if you have any idea, any idea, where Maryweather's remains are, help them out. I mean, they claim shipments of this nature are prohibited within the FedEx network.

Oh, okay. They claim that their thoughts and concerns remain with the family of Mr. Maryweather. I'm sure that it is. We request that further questions be directed to the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office. Yeah, they have. And the medical examiner officer said, yeah, we mailed the body through FedEx. So still missing.

If you can help them out, help them out. If you received a package from Atlanta, Georgia and the medical examiner's office, and you didn't know what it was, and you still have it sitting in your garage, it's Jeffrey Merriweather. So give them a call and help them out and let them know, hey, I've got them in my garage. I didn't know what it was. and it's here for you if you want to stop by and pick it up.

That would be very nice of you. Welcome. I do not have it. Welcome to chewing the fat. What is happening in the world of disabilities? I know. Uber just settled a disability lawsuit. They're going to pay more than $2 million as part of a settlement with the Department of Justice,

which accused the company of charging a wait time. fee to passengers with disabilities. They were taking too long to get to the vehicles. So we're going to charge you more. They're going to pay $1.7 million to riders who lodged complaints and $500,000 to other impacted riders. And credit the more than $65,000 eligible passengers who were handed a fee with double the amount they were charged. That was nice of them. That was nice of them.

Hey, sorry you're disabled, but. Hurry the hell up, would you? So at least they have to come up with a little something to help people out. And maybe it's changed their way of doing a little bit of business as they're picking up riders around the country and the world, really. Then we have Hobby Lobby, who is being sued now because an employee had a service dog. And they were like, no, you cannot bring that to work. So Hobby Lobby is accused of violating federal law after firing a Kansas employee who wanted to bring her service animal to work.

They're facing this lawsuit with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and it failed to settle with the employee. The part-time employee referred to as SC suffers from PTSD, anxiety, and depression. When she began working for the retailer, she didn't own a service animal, but officially requested accommodations for one in September of 2020. After meeting with human resources to discuss the details, stores, it was concerned that a co-worker or a customer might be allergic to or a trip over the dog. The dog might break something, so it could be a problem.

They claim here, obviously, the EEOC, service animals assist people with many types of disabilities, from vision and mobility impairments to seizure disorders and mental health conditions, to live and work independently. Employers must not reject service animals or any other reasonable accommodation based on stereotypes or assumptions regarding the safety or effectiveness of the accommodation. After her request was denied,

she took a week off from work to finish her service dog training, then she returned with the dog and a renewed request for accommodations. Her manager said, go home. Ultimately, She was fired for job abandonment.

The EEOC is seeking back pay, punitive damages, reinstatement of the terminated employee. Hobby Lobby, of course, has not responded to the request at the time of this story. So incredible times at Hobby Lobby, it does surprise me that they didn't just say, yeah, bring your stupid dog in. I mean, bring your helper dog, your service dog with you, fine. Just make sure you put the stuff on the shelf. Okay. Or if you're a cashier, have the service dog next to you as you're checking people out.

Sure, whatever, that's fine. I'm surprised they didn't do that. And now they're paying for it because it doesn't seem to make much sense. I mean, it's a service dog. They're well trained. And it's just, you know, put the sign on the back. Leave him alone. Don't touch him.

Don't talk to him. He's my service dog. Back off. All right. Here's what you owe to the cash register. Thanks for shopping at Hobby Lobby. Oh, and congratulations or good news for the Colbert 9, you know, the nine that were arrested in a non-authorized area of the U.S. Capitol building in June. Yeah, they were supposed to go to court tomorrow, you know, and face the judge.

No, don't have to worry about it. Okay, the charges have been dropped. Yeah, hey, there's nothing. I mean, what are you going to do? They're just wandering around the Capitol building without any people helping them. or anything alone. And it's no big deal, right? People do that all the time.

After a comprehensive review of all the evidence and the relevant legal authority, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia has determined that, yeah, we can't move forward with this misdemeanor charges of unlawful entry against the nine individuals who were arrested on June 16th at the Longworth Office building. The individuals sure entered the building

on two separate occasions. they were invited by congressional staffers to enter the building in each instance, and they were never asked to leave by the staffers who invited them, though members of the group had been told at various points by the U.S. Capitol Police that they were supposed to have an escort. Who cares, right? You don't need an escort to walk around the Capitol building. The U.S. Capitol Police know that. That's how the office would be required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt

that these invited guests were guilty of the crime of unlawful entry because their escort chose to leave them unattended. It's no big deal. We're not going to be able to have convictions against the Cobre Nine. And so let's just go ahead and don't worry about that hearing on the 20th. And we'll just call it quits. Okay? It's over. Don't worry about it.

Thanks for coming to the U.S. Capitol and shooting your little funny bits for the Colbert show. Okay? Okay. Good. We've got to get back to the January 6th trial. You know, where people were walking around the Capitol building.

Unattended. Oh, yeah, those people. Yeah, we can't have that. Not that. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So good. So I see where Snapchat is coming to the

desktop yay so snapchat is expanding beyond the app for the first time ever in the newly launched snapchat for web you can snap pictures send DMs and video chat with friends on a desktop now there are you know some some caveats it's only going to be available to Snapchat plus subscribers and it won't work on the Safari browser but as of May Snapchat was the sixth most popular social media app in the U.S.

right after TikTok. Pretty incredible. I mean, it's a big app. So, coming to your desktop. You can go ahead and Snapchat your life away right on your desktop

instead of just with the app on your phone. Okay? Okay, good. So I was looking at a story about a TikToker who was making videos about her, you know, Amazon product, the acupressure mat that goes down on the floor.

And it's these small plastic spikes that cover the fabric. And then you lay on it with your back. And then she gets up and her skin's all bright red from the tiny marks from pressure of the spikes. But she smiles and says, hey, it's all good. My sore muscles feel like they're melting over spikes. Yeah, okay. So a lot of people are, you know, making fun of it and saying, no way. But what they're talking about is

products that show up on the internet famous page of Amazon. And so that video has, you know, 800,000 views. And, you know, the internet famous page is viral products. You know what I mean from, it says

here in this story, everything from acne patches to cordless drills and mini waffle makers. So I decided, you know what, let's go to the Amazon's internet famous page. And they have, you know, explore all viral videos from women's fashion,

men's fashion, home beauty, picks by Kate Bartlett. And then it goes on. Picks by Joe Flo. Picks by California Lynn. And it goes on and on and on. As we look at the internet famous page. But as you scroll down on the homepage,

it has 452 results. and the first 12 are the pink stuff. It's the miracle all-purpose cleaning paste. You have the Bissell, little green, multi-purpose, portable carpet and upholstery cleaner. The hair catcher, durable silicon hair stopper shower drain covers.

Actually, that might not be a bad thing to have. The vegetable slicer, onion mincer, chopper, vegetable chopper, cutter, dicer, egg slicer, and container. Wow. It's why Mueller. I'm surprised that's not a Ronpilil item. It's got to be they got to pay him money. You got a portable speaker, JBL portable speaker, dustable cordless vacuum cleaner, breakfast sandwich maker. What else do we have here?

Oh, the original bagel guillotine. Now those are actually, that's probably not a bad little thing to have. if you, you know, if you get whole bagels from the bagel shop. So there you have it. I was just, it's kind of, I didn't, I forget that this page is actually here at the old Amazon.com website as I am a, I am a customer of Amazon, of Amazon Prime. And so I might have to go back and just take a look at the Internet famous page. because man, it looks like, man, I'm going to look at products and go,

yeah, you know, I could use that, never buy it. So it's a shame. So we talked yesterday about Jennifer and Ben getting married, Benifer, back together again, you know, and remember back in 2002 when he was supposed to get married to Jenny from the block singer. I love those stories, Jenny from the block. Give me a break. That was in 2002.

I don't know that she was technically Jenny from the block then, but she's definitely not Jenny from the block now. She likes to pretend she is, but she's not. Anyway, this story talks about how they have their prenuptial agreements. Obviously, I mean, Jenny from the block is worth probably $500 million. And Ben is, you know, well off. He's probably worth, you know, $100, $150 million, something like that.

Maybe, maybe, maybe $200 million, but I doubt it. I mean, it's still pretty good, a lot more than what I have. I don't know about that. But, you know, it's not what Jen has. And Jen has the capability of continuing to grow her wealth, where Ben, he's got to do a couple movies and, you know, keep things going, okay, to keep it steady at about that $100 million mark. Right.

Jen, as she gets some ads on Instagram, ads on the email, ads on the website, as on the website, pops on a new song, does a couple of TV shows, and she's good to go. She's back into, she's back in the money. She's making, she's paying the bills.

So according to this, they have a prenuptial agreement. Their prenuptial agreement also includes that Ben will, you know, they will engage in a minimum of four sexual relations. I can't even say it. A minimum of four sexual relations a week. that are included in the cause.

And so, I mean, okay, I don't know why that's such a big deal, but it is. Now, originally, Ben, plus it also has a no cheating clause, which is definitely going to get Ben. I told you that already. That's going to happen. Ben's going to be coming out of a trailer with a hot babe and smoking a cigarette and a drink, and Jenny from the block ain't going to be happy. But I digress. I don't want that to happen.

I want them to stay together and be just as happy. they can be for the rest of their lives. But originally, when questioned about it, Ben said, no, that's silly. You can't legislate behavior. You've got to believe in the person and believe you can meet the challenges you face. Neither of us are stupid or naive. It would be nice if you could have the rules, but you just can't write it down. So maybe it isn't in the pre-nep, but maybe it isn't in the pre-nep,

but maybe it is in the rules. And look, I mean, if you're Jennifer Lopez, I'm sorry, Jenny from the block, and you are ready for business, you're ready for business, and you expect it to be taken care of. When you expect to be taken care of, that's just the way it is.

She's Jenny from the block. So this is, we're coming up on, we're coming up on the end of the week, and we've got to get caught up. All right, we've got the quota to get to there, Ben. So, Hop Singh, I'm taking care of a little Jenny from the block business because you're only, you got to hit four. And so whatever you got to do, you better reach that mark, my friend, reach that mark

because I'm Jenny from the block. And when it's, you know, you do me when I say, it's time to do me. And then, again. I love that because it's probably true. Speaking of business on demand, I see where Ricky Martin is in trouble for having a sexual and romantic relationship with his nephew. But he says that's all bull crap. I've never had any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with my nephew.

Actually, that was his attorney saying. He's never had a sexual or romantic relationship with. his nephew, the allegations of domestic abuse from the younger family member in Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, the person who made this claim is struggling with deep mental health challenges, claimed Ricky's attorney. Ricky Martin has, of course, never been and would never be involved in any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with his nephew. The idea is not only untrue, it is.

disgusting. We all hope that this man gets the help he so urgently needs. But most of all, we look forward to this awful case being dismissed as soon as the judge gets to look at the facts. Huh. Okay. I hope that's true because he's been confronted. He's got a temporary restraining order in the past couple weeks, which claims more violence and more fallout. And then he had the apparently it was a seven-month intimate affair with the 21-year-old nephew. Okay. The hearing is supposed to take place on the 21st in Puerto Rico, which is a couple days away. Today is the 19th.

If you're listening live, so, you know, just three days away, a couple days away, three, whatever, the 21st, you got it. Count it yourself, all right? 19, 20, 21. So we'll see. I mean, he's making some cash. You know, he just had to pay or he's going to have to pay.

He had another lawsuit with his manager over unpaid commissions. Oh, okay. Yeah, her, the manager and the team claimed that they saved

and supposedly his substance-abusing singer from potentially career-end. allegations in 2020 and they had other big court cases and they saved him a bunch of money so they want their unpaid commissions okay i didn't realize about he's on an apple tv plus thing uh an upcoming comedy series misses american pie which he stars with carol burnett uh they are apple tv plus has been uh radio silent i bet and uh he also had a successful

application for a TRO against CAA rep, Martin was approved by the Puerto Rican judge. So, you know, we're going to head to Puerto Rico and get this domestic abuse taken care of in court, even though

they still claim that these abuse allegations and sexual in nature allegations are completely false and fabricated. All right, Rickie. that's what your lawyer says.

You know what? I believe you. For now. Hit pause on whatever you're listening to and hit play on your next adventure. This fall get double points on every qualified stay. Life's the trip. Make the most of it at Best Western. Visit BestWestern.com for complete terms and conditions. I see where Delta has agreed to buy 100 Boeing 737 max 10 planes. in its first major order from Boeing in more than 10 years.

Well, congratulations to Delta. Congratulations to Boeing. How about you get some pilots? How about you get some sky waitresses? And let's not get these airports all backed up and have delays. How about that? Okay, just a thought. And congratulations to Lieutenant Amanda Lee.

Lieutenant Amanda Lee will become the first woman to fly as part of the Navy's, Blue Angels, aerial demonstration team. And while that, I guess, is a big deal, I mean, good. What does it really, you know, I'm glad. It doesn't matter to me. Who flies the planes?

I love what they do. They're awesome. I've met them before. I've had an opportunity to fly in them, although they said I wasn't allowed because there's no fat guy's eating. But, yeah, no, no, sorry, no. We made the offer, but now that we're seeing you, no, that can't happen.

But I love those guys. So now it's I love those pilots, not just those guys. How dare I talk like that? But congratulations to Lieutenant Amanda Lee. I know we have all kinds of issues with travel these days, and people are getting back on the cruise lines. Are they? Yeah, they are, okay.

But apparently there's a grassroots campaign group in Norway called Cruise Not Welcome, C-R-U-I-S-E, not welcome. And they put posters all around Oslo and Bergen and Stavanger and Trunfim and Flam. I love Trunframm. That is gorgeous this time of year, man. you can't pull me away from trying to find him you just can't so these anti-cruise posters worn off passengers arriving in the norwegian ports now if i'm a business owner in these norwegian ports that's tough for me to say no to that that's a lot of business i know the whole covid thing i got it diseases and i don't necessarily want to be uh get any of the cruise ship

goo on me, but they provide a lot of money, a lot of money to these cities. So you see the posters, you know, these people are pissed. Crews not welcome. It wants to draw attention to the detrimental environmental impacts of the cruise industry, from carbon and other emissions to the dumping of gray water and rubbish overboard. The industry is doomed because the whole concept of, moving a floating town from port to port can never be CO2 efficient, no matter what fuel they use. Cruise not welcome also alleges there are poor working conditions on board ships,

a failure by cruise companies to pay sufficient taxes and complaints of detrimental effect that cruise passengers have on the places they visit, given they add little to the local economy while causing congestion. I find that hard to believe. although maybe they don't spend as much as you hoped and since they're eating on the ship maybe they don't eat at the restaurants when they're off I guess maybe you could make the case for that cruise ships are a particularly big problem

in Bergen, Stavanger Christian San and Flam what about my city? It's not a big problem in Tronfheim? Guess not So they have research papers that recommended global

legislation to limit the negative impacts of the cruise industry on the world's oceans and human health. Research, their research, suggests that a large cruise ship can have a carbon footprint greater than 12,000 cars. Oh, okay. Cruise tourism was rapidly expanding pre-COVID 19. Yeah, no kidding. And so major impacts on environment and on human health and well-being, we need a much better monitoring of these people and these cruises to generate more robust data for the true picture of these impacts, says Professor Laura Fleming, author of the review. The industry, the cruise industry, those bastards, likely to continue causing these serious health and environmental hazards.

They're projected to be 2,950 port calls by cruise ships in Norway this year, according to data released by Cruise Norway, which is owned by Norwegian cruise ports destination companies, attractions and suppliers to the incoming cruise industry.

That's a rise of nearly 700 port calls. Since 2019, yeah, they're trying to make up for what they lost over the pandemic. And, you know, plus they've got to make up. They had cruise events

that have been postponed. They've got to make up for. No kidding. So they want to be sure, though, that there are a couple different groups out there that are hanging signs

and crews not welcome is calling out the Norwegian government to ban cruise ships and push for an international law now there's also clear that crews not welcome are also not responsible for the posters seen around Oslo

and Bergen that read crewed cruise tourist question mark please f*** off So just be clear that hashtag Cruise not welcome C-R-U-I-S-E-N-O-T-W-E-L-C-O-M-E is not responsible

for those posters that tell people Well, they ask a question. Cruise tourist, question mark. Please, fuck off. I mean, the crew is not welcome people, the hashtag crew is not welcome people here. You paid for your trip to a company that does not pay taxes to Norway or at all, and the workers are exempt from all relevant labor laws.

Please go back to your boat and tell all on board that you are parasites. You are not welcome in Norway. Another reads, cruise just don't before outlining some statistics relating to emissions from the cruise ships to other issues with the industry. So they do not want cruises. in Norway. I don't know how Norway feels about that. I feel like Norway wants the

tourism to their country. And the cruise line International Association, the C-L-I-A and who doesn't love the C-L-I-A, has, you know, they have worked closely with communities and local governments and ports

and destinations around the world to deliver sustainable tourism. Have you? Cruise tourism brings joy to millions of passengers and enormous social and economic benefits to communities, particularly in coastal and often remote regions. Does it? Our ships are greener and more efficient than ever before.

As the industry leads the way in the development of new environmental technologies, cruise lines have committed to a vision of net zero carbon cruising by 2050, and investing in the ability to plug into shoreside electricity. is another step forward to achieving this ambition. Where does the shore side electricity come from? The magic fluffy box in the wall? It's just amazing to me. I mean, look, I'm all, if you will like cruising on a cruise ship,

you go, I'm all for it. I am not a big fan, although I've never been on a big major cruise like that. We used to go out on the gambling boats, you know, the bigger gambling boats where you'd go out and you'd do your stuff on the way out until you get to international waters, and then everybody would gamble. And then you just wander around and wait to get paid when you get back. It was a good gig.

People would puke a code grade level three. Code grade level three. People would turn green and puke and, oh, man. Because they'd feed you on the way out. It's an all you can eat buffet. You'd do your bit of the radio station. I'd be there as a representative of the show or the radio station. You'd tell a couple of jokes.

How you doing? How you doing? Good to see you. Have fun. Spent a lot of money. Make a little bit of money. Slide me some of that money too. Yeah, it's funny.

Go, have a good time. And then you're done. And then you're just sitting there drinking sodas or, you know, if you drank, you drink booze. And, you know, you're smoking cigarettes and waiting for you to get back into port and collect your money. They paid you cash right there at the end of the night. It was a good gig. As a radio personality, that's good money because it's just deep pocketed money for nothing for a few hours on a boat. But it's no fun because then when you're outside for a while,

come back in and it smells like puke oh it's just just bad but that's not the big cruise lines okay so i've never been on those big cruise lines and if you like it you know that's great good for you good for you happy for you but i don't know that i could i don't know that i could do it i just don't know that i could do it it looks fun one part of me says well that could be fun and the other part of me i look at these monstrous ships just these monstrous ships and And in today's world, if you pull into port and then test positive for COVID, you're either going to be locked down on the ship, which would be the best thing, because then you could go. If you test positive to get back on the ship and you test positive, they're not going to let you

back on the ship. So you're stuck at whatever port you're at, say the beautiful port of Truffersheim in Norway, and you're stuck there. How are you getting to home? They're not paying for it. That's all on you. Good luck, God bless. Take care.

We're pulling out. Take care. You might be hanging anti-cruise posters up with the rest of them, just to make a little bit of extra cash to get the hell out of there. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags.

Designer. Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered.

Marshals, we get the deals. You gift the good stuff. So who died today? Who died today? A visual artist, Kalaas Oldenberg. One of the most, I mean, this guy's a pop art icon. he died at the age of 93. He doesn't say what the cause of death was,

but he was 93. You know, like, the largest rubber stamp, the hamburger, the saw coming out of the ground, the toothpaste, lipstick, all that stuff that are, you know, all over the world. In different parts of the country, that was him. It was awesome.

He and his wife made all those big pieces of art, And he's had shows, you know, at galleries all around the world. It was fascinating. But that was his artwork. And really incredible. And I mean, the guy was, you know, an artist, a genius artist. And so he's rest in peace. Kalaas, C-L-A-E-S, Oldenburg, dead at the age of 93.

Going down a few years at 77, Mickey Rooney Jr. The original Mousketeer and the first child of, you know, Mickey Rooney is dead at 77 years old. Wow. And he was, you know, Hollywood royalty, right? He was hired to be a Disney Mousketeer in 1955 because he was tall and talented. He could sing and dance. And all he did was getting trouble. He was fired from the Mousketeers because conduct unbecoming of a mouse.

Mickey Jr., according to many people, was, you know, damaged goods. Yeah, I mean, you know, Mickey Rooney Jr. And, I mean, he had a pretty darn good life, but he, you know, he's still got to be Mickey Rooney Jr., which is, that's kind of tough. I don't necessarily feel sorry for him, but I can understand the frustration of being Mickey Rooney Jr., rest in peace mickey junior at the age of 77 and then jack knight stand-up comedian and a bust down star

dead at 28 this guy was a i mean this guy was so funny and he wrote a lot of stuff and he was on his way to make a huge mark in hollywood and uh and in comedy and um he's now dead and they did not say what caused his death he was 28 years of age could have been You know, when you're 28, you're in comedy, you're writing stuff in Hollywood. It's probably a drug overdose. But, you know, you anti-vaxers out there could make your case if you want. Because I'm sure he probably was. I don't know that.

I'm just saying he was still working in Hollywood in today's world. That kind of means you probably are vaccinated. but what do I know? Jack Knight, 28, rest in peace. Then I see a story out of Tampa. The N.W.A. wrestlers, Brian Idol and Natalia, Markova, were returning to Tampa. They were doing some television tapings in Nashville. And when she got off the plane, they landed.

She couldn't find a purse. And they didn't know at the moment that the purse was stolen and, you know, would culminate into them chasing down a thief in Walmart. but he did and that's what happened she didn't have her purse when she returned to the gate the plane was already boarding so airline officials looked at the seat at the back of the plane and her purse was not there i've had stuff on the plane like that before too anyway this is a little bit different and uh they realized that her air pods were in the purse so they could use apples find my app to locate them there you go now they weren't

instantly, probably sometime in the next 10 minutes, they pinged about a half hour away. So they hopped in an Uber to where Idle's car was parked and eventually tracked the thief down at a Walmart in Pinellas Park about 45 minutes away

from the airport. Yeah, I mean, I lived real close to that. That's my old neighborhood, actually, out there in Penneillus Park. It's just a joke. It's Pinellas Park. It's not penalty, the park, and so we walked into the Walmart.

Her phone actually went off with a fraud alert, said somebody was trying to buy a $700 TV. Idle approached the thief, tried to talk to him, having recognized him from sitting in their row on the flight. He kind of put his hands on me, ran through me, and then,

of course, since he stole his stuff, he tackled him. And ran him down and tackled him, and held him down, held him down, tell him and waited for the police to come and he wasn't he didn't beat him up at all just chased him down tackled him to the ground and called for told Walmart to call the police and so the people were all pissed at him though because this was such a great story and he admitted to stealing the purse had six hundred dollars worth of cash and her credit cards he returned the cash said the purse had

been returned to American Airlines personnel at Tampa Airport. And so everything was fine, except they decided not to press charges. And everybody was pissed out. Wow, I can't believe you guys wanted press charges. You tracked them down and he stole your stuff. You went all through that. And now you're not going to press charges. Boy, boy, do I understand that, though, because it just becomes more of a hassle, right?

I mean, they went through all that. You'd think that they would actually press charges. charges and but you know whatever it's up to them but I remember going through a you know a possible crime on a train uh from New York to Trenton, New Jersey. Uh, when it's taken the corridor there, the north, northeast corridor every day, you know, from Trenton to Penn Station, Penn Station back to Trenton. And I had, you know, they ask for your pass because you get a, you know, if you either have a ticket or a monthly pass or whatever. to ride the train.

And so I had my pass out. And my wallet was sitting on my laptop. And I was sitting on the seat. And my laptop was open and my wallet was sitting on top of my laptop. Kind of my, you know, I knew better. But it was the train. I've ridden out of a thousand times. Just got lack of days ago, I left my wallet sitting there as I was typing some stuff.

And, you know, somebody walks by and snags my wallet as we're coming up to a stop in Newark, New Jersey. Now, the good thing is, is that the door that this, Punk and his friend were trying to run out of Newark didn't open. So I caught up to him. I mean, I just stepped up, grabbed my laptop, chased him down, grabbed the guy by the door, threw him down on the ground. His buddy, he ended up taking the wallet out of his pocket and threw it away as I held

him down. And, you know, I grabbed, and then, you know, all the train people were standing up, and they brought in the conductor and held him down. The conductor said, you know, stopped the train for a moment. And if I wanted to press charges, they were going to call the police, and I was going to have to get off the train.

And then so that the train, because the train is full, it's afternoon. I want to get home too. And I got these two punks that, you know, trying to steal my wallet and run away with it. Fortunately,

that door for the train did not open. Because if that door for the train was open, they'd have been gone. There's no way I would have caught them. They'd been, you know, they'd been across the platform. And I'm not chasing someone down in Newark, New Jersey.

That is not going to happen. I may not, I mean, I might not chase them down here, but I'm not chasing them out of a train car into Newark. But, you know, so then, you know, I'm like, okay, well, just kick them off the train. I don't want to press, you know, I'm not going to wait for the police. I got all these people waiting to get home just like me.

Let's just get kicked them off the train. I've got my wallet and let's get going. And so my laptop broke. I mean, there was a, you know, some keys broke off as it felt. down as I went after these guys and as I'm walking we finally get to Trenton and I'm walking and nobody everybody was just like yeah yeah way to go good job and then it was just quiet because nobody wanted to mess around with and train king then and uh as I'm walking through Trenton you know to the parking lot to get to the car this guy comes up and goes excuse me excuse me taps you on the

shoulder and he has the two keyboard keys the P and the O that broke off from my left to He goes, here, I just, I found these on the floor of the train. They broke off when your laptop fell down. And I wanted to want to see, maybe you could, you know, glue it back on or something. Just wanted to, just wanted to give them back to you. Nice. Thank you. Appreciate it.

How about to clean this bad boy up and fix it for me, too? But I can understand not wanting to press charges and go through all of that. You got everything back. And, you know, it's just, uh, she probably felt like a, It was kind of her fault for not paying attention when the guy deep pocketed her purse. So, you know, we're happy we got it back. And, you know, let's just go home and forget about it and tell the story on a TV show. Okay.
