With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide.
So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come.
That's the powerful backing of Amex.
Conditions apply.
Blaze Radio Network.
And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.
Is there nothing sacred anymore?
That's the question I ask today.
This story from last week, which originally,
broke at the end of last year, December of 2021.
Police across America issue warnings over scammers pretending to play the violin.
That's a nationwide emergency.
What?
You mean to tell me that the musicians playing outside asking people for donations aren't
professional musicians?
they don't play in concert halls around America and decide,
you know, today I'm going to go stand on the street corner
and see if somebody will toss a couple of bucks into my violin case.
Some actually have a pre-recorded track,
and you as a human being wouldn't be able to tell that.
Come on.
It's a national, I'm sorry, a nationwide emergency.
You know, instead of simply leaving cases out so passers-bys can leave money,
these con artists will usually have someone with them,
either collecting money or play against a sign,
pleading for money to help with rent, bills, or other financial issues.
Some, some falsely claim to be sick or raising money for a poorly relative.
I won't hear of it.
People hawking for money on street corners,
not telling you the truth with their signs.
It's a nationwide emergency.
Stop it.
I saw one video where a real violinist
filmed herself coming,
and I'm guessing it was a her.
I don't want to judge.
I don't know what the pronouns are.
Came up and started hollering at this guy
for not being a musician
and playing recorded music,
and she's played all these years,
and it's just a scam
Okay, you know what?
Then you stand out there and play.
Go ahead.
I am not a fake violinist.
Give me money.
Now, apparently, apparently, according to this story,
there are this like the mob.
It's an organized cartel of fake musicians going around the country
begging for money.
So warnings have gone out in Florida,
Maryland, Michigan, Texas, Arizona.
I mean, it's a nationwide emergency.
Okay.
Come on now.
If you see someone with a sign that says, you know,
please help.
It's up to you whether you want to give them the money or not.
If you do, good for you.
If it makes you feel better,
what does it matter what they do with the money?
It made you feel better.
It made you feel better.
That was the whole point, right?
So I get, you know, the scam.
And, you know, so you walk by, you stop for a second.
You look at them playing, you go, yeah, that guy's not really playing.
It's just fake.
But I like the music.
Okay, let me put my groceries in the car.
It's just that simple.
You decide not to give them money.
It's not a nationwide emergency.
And most parking lots, by the way, you know,
there are a number of places where they would call and say,
dude, you can't be out here or, you know, miss or it or she.
You can't be out here.
This is illegal.
We don't want you in our parking lot.
And you move on.
We've all seen that.
It's just we've all seen the players in the subway.
Some are good.
Some are bad.
Some, I guess, are fake.
That makes it a nationwide emergency.
So, okay.
All right.
like I said, there's nothing sacred anymore.
When you can't believe a musician on a street corner isn't an actual musician,
we've gone to hell.
Welcome.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
Okay, so I'm reading a story this weekend about Prince's estate.
Prince, the musician, who died in 2016 already.
Wow.
I mean, it's incredible.
He's been, I mean, six years ago, wow.
Anyway, his estate has finally been agreed on that it's worth $156 million.
They've been having a big fight over what it's worth.
One bank says it was only worth like 80 some thousand, and other people were saying it's a couple hundred thousand.
And so they finally come to an agreement between the IRS and other companies and banks that it's worth about 156.4 million.
dollars, his estate, okay? So family members have been arguing over what money they get. Now, it's been
decided that the nearly $6 million of this money is going to be split between the late singer's
three oldest siblings and a primary wave, which is a New York music company that bought part of
Prince's estate from the singer's sister, and as well as Prince's brothers. Okay. So now, he didn't have a will,
so they've been fighting over this.
So they're going to distribute 6 million between the siblings.
A couple of the siblings have already died.
They're gone.
They're going to retain $3 million in reserve
as part of a proactive effort to battle any legal cases
or issues connecting to the estate that have not been completed.
Now, they opened up, I guess, his house as a museum and a tour
so that they could earn a little bit of money
because he owed a bunch of money to the IRS and he owed a bunch of money to the state for taxes
and everybody wants their cut.
And so, you know, there wasn't anything set aside for his death.
And, you know, money was like everybody wants their money.
Everybody wants a piece of their money.
Okay.
So my question is, what happens to all the other money?
Where does that go?
I mean, I get that the, you know, accountants and attorneys have all been, you know,
racking up millions of dollars of bills to make sure that this is all done right.
It has to be done right.
We have to make sure that the family only gets $6 million.
But my bill to the estate is, let's make it $15 million.
I mean, I don't know what it is.
Tens of millions of dollars is what's being reported.
So it's at least $10 or $20 million.
What happens to the rest of it?
All right, let's say it is only $80 million worth $80 million.
And they said $156.4 million.
Okay.
So now you're 1506.4.
I am not a mathematician.
I'm not an accountant for for prints or a bank for America Bank and Trust or the IRS.
I'm just wondering.
So they say it's worth 156.4 million.
So we put $6 million to the family.
We give three in, you know, an escrow account to pay other bills.
All right.
And so there's $9 million.
All right.
So now you're down to $157 million worth for the estate.
And so let's say you pay all the accountants and attorneys $30 million.
All right.
So now you're still over what?
$120 million?
You know, maybe $150 million left over?
What happens to all of that money?
Is that money just poof, just gone?
I would like to say that I think my bloodline,
I'm related to Prince.
And so,
yes, I know it comes a surprise,
but I believe today I am related to Prince.
And so I believe that some of this money needs to be for me.
That's all.
That's all I'm saying.
Just, you know, help a brother out.
And before you go, Jeff,
that's the way it is.
In accordance to Minnesota law,
he didn't have any children or a spouse.
And so that's what happens.
And now you know that this,
they're just talking about,
cash. They're not talking about the worth of the company. That's broken up and it's still part of
the Prince OAT Holdings LLC and also Prince Legacy LLC. And they all break that up and split that up.
Uh-huh. Okay. All right. All I know is now I believe I am in the bloodline.
I mean, all these relatives are all half brothers and sisters. So I,
I'm maybe what, a quarter?
What do I get a million for that?
Okay, no problem.
Thank you.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink desperately.
Oh, mm-mm-mm.
So good.

Okay, so I see where Gaga posted a video on last week about being in the new movie, Joker.
I know, Joker 2.
Foli, a D-D-D-T.
10-424 is when it's coming out.
And the video is of a man and a woman dancing.
I'm guessing, you know, it's supposed to be Halequine Phoenix,
because they talked about how the new Joker was going to be a musical.
And I know that it's particular, and I make fun of what the name of it,
but it's actually...
Fali adieu.
Yeah.
Fali adieu.
Fali adieu.
Yeah, I got it.
Fali adieu.
And so, I mean, I'm looking forward to it, right?
I mean, the first one was awesome, which we hope means...
Fali adieu.
Will be as well.
And if you're not sure what
Fali adieu means, it means the sharing of delusional ideas by two people who are closely associated.
So, should be fun.
Joaquin and Gaga being crazy in Joker.
So Gaga is going to play Harley Quinn.
That's what it appears to be.
Margot Robbie, a little wound up, a little mad, saying, hey, I'm Harley Quinn.
okay nobody can play harley quinn well actually that's not true harley uh i know that you uh you know you are uh you are
you are awesome at harley quinn and we love watching you play harley quinn this is a whole different
ride with hawkeen's joker and so we didn't need you to be harley quinn we needed someone
else to be harley quinn in this particular movie and so a lot of people are wound up she's
saying oh what's next uh what's next uh what
What's next? Nicole Kidman is going to be replaced with Kim Kardashian.
Well, first of all, that's possible.
But I doubt it.
I mean, that's not the same thing, and you know it.
And speaking of Nicole Kidman, I see where she has re-upped her deal with AMC.
If you've been to the movie theaters at an AMC theater in the last year,
you've seen Nicole and how AMC makes more.
movies better. They play the ad
before the movies.
I mean, with the
trailers.
We come to this place
for magic. Oh, she's looking
at the AMC time.
We come to AMC theaters to love,
to cry.
Because we need that indescribable
feeling we get.
When the lights begin to dip,
we go somewhere. Not just
entertained, but somehow we've
born. Dazzling images
on a huge silver screen.
Sound that I can feel.
Somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place.
Heroes feel like the best part of us.
Thank you.
AMC is definitely in love with Nicole,
and I know that they had their big earnings call
where the CEO, Adam Aaron,
showered Kidman with praise.
Yeah, we love you so much.
Here, we're going to give you a bunch more money
for a new advertising campaign for AMC.
Okay?
That would be great.
Thank you.
she said in an interview
that she loved the line
Heartbreak feels good in a place like this
and she
that's true it does
and I love movies
and I love going to see the films
and I would love to be able to go to the theater
alone like Nicole was
in that ad all by herself
in this giant theater
sit down in the middle of it
all by yourself
and watch the movie
as the lights dim
and the excitement builds
yeah absolutely
but since I'm not there and I have to share it with other humans,
I'd rather just watch it in my house, okay?
That's fine. No problem.
I'm happy to watch it streamed in my house, okay?
It's not the same, Jeff.
Okay, I know, I know.
But could Kim Kardashian do that?
I think not.
And speaking of movies,
congratulations to Top Gun Maverick
as it passes Titanic as the seventh highest
grossing release in domestic box office history.
it's made a little bit of cash.
Titanic,
one of the biggest success stories
in box office history, earned 600
million in its original
1997 released, and it
has generated 659 million,
not adjusting for inflation,
with subsequent re-releases.
But Paramount Top Gun Maverick
has overtaken Titanic
is the studio's biggest film
in 110-year history.
Wow.
So, okay.
I know Cameron's disaster epic is still outpacing Tom Cruise's top gun maverick.
Okay, so no problem.
Cruz has got outside of North America, $1.5 billion at the international box office.
And that is impressive.
impressive.
Making a little bit of cash for Tom.
And speaking of making a little bit of cash,
I saw a big story this weekend over Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
still being newlyweds,
but they're already spending their time apart.
Oh boy.
It looks like my prediction could happen sooner than expected.
So they're talking about the dynamic duo
and how they both have high-powered careers
and they're making all kinds of cash,
you know, as their own brinked.
and they're out there and Ben is off making a movie somewhere and J-Lo is off doing her thing making
big money.
But they still find time to stay connected during this time.
They're talking and texting and FaceTiming while they're away from each other.
And they're just, we wouldn't be surprised if they're planning their next big move as a married
couple.
The Benefer brand is back.
My prediction.
is going to happen.
I'm telling you, Ben is off
filming this movie now.
Now, it might not happen now,
and I don't want it to happen.
I want their love to be together forever.
I want their, you know,
extreme amount of money to just make them happier
than ever and have the J-Lo brand
and the Ben Affleck brand and the Ben Affleck brand,
just worth millions, if not billions,
and just make them just so happy.
but I know Ben right now is working on his Nike film in L.A.
and Jennifer is off, you know, extending a holiday in Italy.
Yeah, he's extending the brand, all right.
I got to go to, I know you're working, but I'm going to Italy.
I love you, but I'm out.
So I'm telling you, my prediction, there's going to be a picture of Ben coming out of that Hollywood trailer.
He's going to have a cigarette in his mouth and drinking his hand.
There's going to be some hot babe standing by.
behind them in shorts and a t-shirt or maybe just underwear and it's going to be the end of Benefer.
I could be wrong and I, you know, do, and I, you know what, I hope that I am.
I don't want it to happen, but I could see the picture already.

So who died today?
Who died today?
Roger E. Mosley.
years of age.
You remember Roger from
Magnum P.I.
He was the helicopter
pilot in Magnum T.I.
Theodore T.C. Calvin.
And he
was awesome in that show.
I mean, he was in 158
episodes of Magnum
PI. He was in a whole bunch of other
stuff too. Apparently, he was
in a really bad accident last week
and was paralyzed.
from the shoulders down and remained in critical condition and never came out of it.
Wow.
Very sad.
Very sad.
Roger E. Mosley.
Dead at the age of 83.
Clue Gallagher, another actor, veteran actor, dies at 93.
You remember him from the Virginian.
Who was that back in 1902?
he was in the 85 horror comedy
The Return of the Living Dead
He died of natural causes
He was a big time old actor
If you see his face
You would recognize him
He was
You know
His acting career
Across seven decades
From the 1950s
To you know
Mainstay in all the westerns
And he started as Billy the Kid
And NBC's the Tall
man for two seasons. The Virginian, of course, was, I mean, that was on TV for nine years.
And he was in the last picture show with Peter Bogdanovish's last picture show in 1971.
Anyway, Clue Gulliger. Clue Gullager. G-U-L-A-G-E-R. No, it wasn't Clue.
Amorphophalus. Dead at the age of 93. Then we have a man in,
India, Mut-Hu-K-K-M-U-K-M-U-T-H-U-M-A-R.
He passed away after he fell into this giant vat of porridge, and there's video of it.
Holy cow.
So, apparently there's this area in his hometown of Tamil Nadu, where they have a big festival.
and part of the festival is this porridge.
So you see in the video, they've got vats of porridge being cooked.
And he's, I mean, in the video you see what?
One, two, three, four, five, six, like seven.
And there's got to be more back behind it.
But there's at least seven of these huge vats of porridge that they're making for the festival.
And he's walking along and then all of a sudden he kind of leans back
and puts his hand on one of the, one of the,
one of the big containers that has porridge in it and then he falls in
holy cow and the people try to get him out and it's too hot and so they finally tip it over
and he falls out and runs away and his burns were too bad uh they took it out to the hospital
and he just did not make it after that i mean holy cow it's lucky to have been just didn't
die right there uh in the vat of porridge i mean he had 65 percent
burn injuries.
I mean, you know,
I mean, you know,
so anyway,
uh,
muda who Kumar,
muda who
Kumar dead.
Age unknown.
And I see where we lost another couple.
I know.
I hate to call the
pairing dead,
but you know what?
That's what I'm going to do.
It's under who died today.
I spoke of Kim Kardashian
early replacing Nicole Kidman.
I don't know.
I don't know.
but she's been with Pete Davidson for nine months now.
And it's being reported that they're over.
Their separation was, it's up.
Pete is off filming a movie.
And Kim is saying, oh, yeah, you know, it's tough.
It's tough when they're, you know,
long-distance relationships to maintain keep things up.
I know.
That's what we were talking about, the benefit for brand, too.
So we'll see what happens with Kim.
Some are saying maybe she's going to get back with Kanye.
We'll see about that.
But I just, I don't know what's happening.
What's going to happen with Kim and Pete separately?
And if Kanye's back, I'm sorry.
I just dead named him myself.
Because that's what it says in the story.
They keep dead naming him.
His name is Yay.
Ah, stop doing that.
His name is Yay.
He had it officially changed.
So anyway, I don't know if she's going to get back with
or if she's just going to find some other BDE guy to make her happy.
But Kim and Pete dead at nine months.
Speaking of car wrecks, oh my gosh, did you see the car wreck that Anne Hache was in?
Holy cow.
So she smashes, a couple of them, but the big one was when she smashed into this home.
in Mara Vista.
Amazing!
And she got burned.
It took them.
I mean, it looked horrific.
And she's still alive.
So, I mean, it was an incredible time.
She, uh, you look at the, you look at the pictures of the neighborhood.
So she's driving a, you know, a little four-door mini.
Uh, it smashes into, through the house.
Firefighters raced.
And the lady and her dogs were in the house.
They got out.
They were not harmed.
And so then the house went up in flames and so did Anne Hache.
Firefighters race to douse the flames and she's pulled out of the burning wreckage.
Took an hour to get her out of this house and keep her alive.
And so then, I mean, they got the mangled chassis out of the house and they dragged her out of the house on a stretcher.
Now you see the photos of her being dragged out.
It did not look good.
She's really burned, bad, really bad.
and she was in a car wreck really bad.
Some of the footage of her from the door cams in the neighborhood,
she was flying in that little mini.
And so she was driving way too fast.
She'd already been in one little accident.
She apparently had been drinking on a podcast.
I don't know if it was her podcast or if she was on someone else's podcast.
I mean, everybody has a podcast.
And so, you know, she was drinking on this podcast.
So she was apparently under the influence of alcohol.
We don't know what else she was under the influence with.
Apparently, she was, because of her injuries, they can't get a blood test,
which I'm a little confused about, but that's what they said.
They said because of her injuries were unable to get a blood test.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
All right.
No problem.
So she was traveling at, you know, 90 to 100 miles an hour.
and smashed into this house
and the house now is red-tagged.
The person can't even live in it.
So whatever money she's made
from being in great movies,
she's going to be paying some money for this.
There's no doubt about that.
And remember, I mean, back in, you know,
I don't know, 20 years ago now
when she split with Ellen,
she was banging on people's doors,
the wrong house,
and she's a little wound up
over the years.
But she's got kids.
kids and she sees women and sees men and I don't know who I don't know I think she's with a woman now
I think she goes back she goes back and forth she goes when she's been with the guy they have a
kid and then they break up and she gets with a woman and then you know after hearing the stories about
Ellen in the past 20 years you kind of think well maybe Ann wasn't as crazy as you thought but
that this happens and you think well you know what and is as crazy as you think and then I was
reminded of her Academy Award performance in the movie Volcano where she I mean a couple of times in
this movie she had a great line right and who can forget I'm not sure which was better
wow or oh my I believe it was wow that was my favorite just wow I mean that's
Academy Award winning right there so Anne Hache injured very badly
and is in the hospital
and people are asking for you to say prayers for her.
In fact, the one guy, of course,
that would ask for prayers,
I mean, he wouldn't ask for prayers.
That would be silly of Alec.
Ah, that would be silly of Mr. Actor.
All right, I'll get it out of the way.
Alec Baldwin.
That's the rules.
I say his name, the gunshot goes off.
It's the rules.
It's the rules of the show.
It has to happen.
He posted a video on his Instagram saying that Hesh, Hes, whatever you want to call her,
and is an amazingly talented woman and asked fans to send their support and love to the 53-year-old actress who is currently in stable condition.
I just want to send out best wishes and all my love to Anne Hage, who's continuing.
You know, look, I mean, I guess,
That's nice of him, but you know that he's such a douche that I just...
I just...
I wish Alec would just go away.
And then we wouldn't have to hear anything anymore from Alec Baldwin.
Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.
Ugh, what?
Sounds like Ojo time.

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close,
you call 186653310 or visit Comexontera.com.com.
I mean, I probably should call this segment Celebrities Out of Cash.
Celebrities out of cash.
You know, it doesn't have to be a segment.
Now, Kevin Spacey was ordered.
to pay $31 million to his media rights capital, a production company behind House of Cards.
The Los Angeles Superior Court judge said, yeah, no, you need to pay this company the money.
So Kevin is out $31 million there.
He has other cases ongoing, too.
He's got a criminal child trial in London next year, where he's been accused of sexually assaulting three men between 2005.
in 2013. He pled not guilty
last month,
July of 2022. And
so he's got that case going on.
Plus, he's got
the, you know, I don't know that he's going to work again.
I know he's made a lot of money over the years,
but I mean, holy cow, you start
paying out tens of millions of dollars.
You start burning
through some cash.
And that lifestyle that you've become accustomed to
seems to start dwindling.
Kind of like Alex Jones.
You know, he lost the 4.4,
million or whatever last week.
But we also found out that
they are, now the punitive damages have come out from
this last case at $45 million.
Woof.
So that's a total of $49 million?
I mean, that's less than the $150 million they were asking for.
Now they'll appeal it.
I don't know how long it.
will take for these people to get their money.
I know they plan to fight Jones because he filed bankruptcy,
but they're saying he filed bankruptcy through his primary company,
free speech systems,
but a separate lawsuit alleges that Jones has been funneling assets into shell
companies to limit the company's ability to pay the defamation lawsuits.
Okay, so we'll see.
I mean, they claim that he took out like 60 or 70,
million from the free speech systems.
I mean, maybe he's got to bury it in his backyard.
I don't know.
Why would you put it at the shell company?
Sooner or later, they find it, right?
I mean, you got to bury it in the backyard.
You have to.
And this story said that he faces two more defamation lawsuits over the next few months.
One in Connecticut and another one here in Texas.
I thought he only had one more.
He's got a couple more.
So he better keep burying that cash as much.
as he can, man, as much as he can. And speaking of snakes. Yeah, that's right. I said it.
One year ago, one year ago, the West African banded cobra that went missing in DFW, Grand
Perry to be exact, but it's DFW area that Greater Dallas Ford Worth Metroplex is still missing.
It's been one year. We have not seen the African banded cobra. So be careful out there.
you're in the old Grand Prairie area.
Heck, it could be over here by Fort Worth now.
I don't know how many,
how far the African banded Cobra's travel.
Maybe it hitched a ride on the back of a pickup truck.
I don't know.
It could be anywhere now.
But it's been missing.
And now they believe that it's probably dead now, right?
They arrested the owner for intentionally, knowingly,
recklessly, or with criminal negligence,
released a regulated snake from captivity.
What?
Okay.
All right.
I don't know if he's paid a fine for that or whatever,
but, you know, we were following the parody account of where it was.
A representative from the Dallas Zoo said that it's improbable
that this particular cobra would reproduce copies of itself
without another of its kind
with which it could mate.
Uh-huh. Okay.
There's been cases of reproduction from stakes,
me sees, the asexuals.
I believe in the documentary at Jurassic Park,
we heard Life Will Find a Way.
Hello.
So, I mean, it could happen.
And look what's going on in Florida.
Now it's a different type of snake.
But they're hunting pythons.
This is the big week in Florida now, too.
They're hunting pythons down there.
800 competitors are trudging through the Everglades right now to get the Burmese pythons
that they're looking for thousands of dollars in prize money.
The python runs through August 15th.
Today is the 8th of August, 22, for those of you listening live.
And so they're out there since 2000, since the year 2000,
more than 17,000 pythons have been removed from the Everglades.
have been removed from the Everglades
ecosystems, according to their
news release. Now,
okay, so they've removed
17,000, and they're still getting
hundreds, if not thousands
of pythons. I mean, those are some breed
mother-humpers.
A female python,
according to this, can lay as many
as 100 eggs
a year. Oh,
okay. So, cash
prizes, $2,500
are available to both the professional and the
novice categories for those who remove the most pythons.
There's an additional prize for the longest python in each category.
Each python must be dead with hunters facing disqualification if they kill them inhumanly
or kill a native snake.
So if you're a hunter and you're out there and you kill a native snake that's not a Burmese
python, do you tell anyone?
I think not.
And you want to go ahead and delete the video from your YouTube.
channel immediately.
You want the GoPro, cancel.
Don't have that.
Don't go live.
Make sure you're doing it on recording
so that you can go back and delete it.
Registered hunters represent 32 states and Canada.
You can still go down there and do it.
You can register and get in on it right now.
It costs you $25 to get in
and you've got to complete their online training course.
So you still got a shot to get down there
and get yourself the biggest Burmese Python
out of the Everglades.
You know, might be fun.
Or not.
You never know.

Back to the email joke of the day.
And it starts off with,
please know that I love you and your podcast.
So this joke is no reflection on you.
So immediately I'm thinking it's either ugly or fat.
So, okay, John, you got it. No problem. I won't feel bad.
A slightly overweight gentleman in London goes to his doctor for some help with weight loss.
The doctor gives him a pill and tells him to take it before going to bed.
He does and immediately falls into a deep sleep and starts dreaming he's on a desert island.
There is a naked, gorgeous native girl wearing a loin cloth that says,
if you catch me this is yours.
He chases her all over the island and wakes up five pounds later.
Now he told a friend at work who also could afford to lose a few pounds
about how pleasant and easy it was.
His friend went to the doctor who told him he could have the same pill.
That night he took the pill and went into a deep sleep
and started dreaming he was on a desert island.
Unfortunately, he encountered a 250-pound male native wearing a loincloth
that said, if I catch you, you get this.
Terrified.
He spends the whole night running away.
But, hey, he does lose five pounds.
But he's a little angry, and he wants to complain to the doctor.
So he goes back to the doctor's office and complains.
And the doctor says, hey, your friend is a private patient.
You're on national health.
Now, you can switch that around and make that Obamacare as well.
And it's just as funny as the first time.
