Starting point is 00:00:35 I don't know how angry I would be, but I would be really, really angry. And I don't know what you do, because you probably end up getting thrown in jail. A flight, a United Airlines flight from Newark to Denver, here in the United States of America, taxied so long on the runway. Yeah, we're going to turn this. thing. We're going to have to go back in. We need to refuel. They didn't have enough gas to get to Denver.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Oh, okay. We've only been out here on the tarmac for six hours. I mean, after a couple hours. You know, maybe I give you two before I start being a little unhappy. Oh, okay. Yeah, we just taxied on. a tarmac and we're out there for you know six hours and then we decided that we didn't have enough gas so they rolled it back in and told everyone to get off the plane so they could they could refuel they got off the plane then they got a text from the united app that said ah yeah your flight's been canceled and then they were they were told no no no no no you reboard we're fine we're going to refuel go ahead and reboard so they brought everybody back on the plane then they got everybody
Starting point is 00:02:01 back on the plane and then they decided yeah you know what the flight's canceled take care get off have a nice day good luck god bless oh and i know that you've been on the plane for you know eight and a half hours but you can say thank you for the cup of water and the little package of cookies that i gave you okay don't leave before you say thank you just incredible now they claim the f aaa that the average delay across the national airspace system on monday was 37 minutes. And 92% of those delays
Starting point is 00:02:38 were due to weather. 5% yeah, would do to volume and only 3% was due to staffing. I don't know what you would call this.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Just dumb luck. Yeah, dumb luck. I mean, I would be so angry. I would be in jail. I would be very angry. I've told the story in Phoenix. You know, once you think you're going to be on time,
Starting point is 00:03:00 they land on time and then they sit you on the tarmac. And you miss your connecting flight because the connecting flight has been overbooked and it's full. And they don't want people to be able to get to the connecting flight. So they keep you out on the tarmac for that extra amount of time so that you can exit the plane and realize, yeah, you're not going to make that connecting flight. So we just have to work something else out. Man, I was so mad. I've told that story a number of times.
Starting point is 00:03:26 I know you're, you know, I'm tired of telling him. But I was close to being thrown into jail. then. We raced, raced to get to that flight. Because they originally said, yeah, you'll still have time. And then they said, okay, when we finally got to the gate, they said, okay, only passengers
Starting point is 00:03:43 that have a connecting flight to here can disembark. Let's get them off the plane first. And then we started getting up to get off. And then they decided, no, everybody could go ahead and get off. You're fine. So now you've got a traffic jam. So it takes us longer to get off the plane. I've got my wife, my two children. And so we run to the next gate in Phoenix.
Starting point is 00:04:04 And as I'm turning the corner, and at that time, I mean, I didn't run. Don't be silly. But, I mean, we hurriedly walked. Walked hurriedly. You know, you've got the carry-ons and the kids. And we, I'll never, I will never forget turning the corner at our airside and having the flight attendant. air waitress, door handler,
Starting point is 00:04:35 look at us and go, oh, are you supposed to be on this flight? And close the door. Oh man, I was so mad. If it wasn't for my wife, and I've said this before, but if it wasn't for my wife, I would have been in jail.
Starting point is 00:04:49 There's no question. I would have been in jail. And then when we went to fix it, they said, well, you got to go over here and they'll take care of you. And the lady said, there was a bunch of people there, obviously,
Starting point is 00:05:00 our family was delayed. Is there a problem? Yeah, there's a big problem. My wife is like, okay, all right, I'll take care of it. Just go out there. I mean, holy cow, so hang, I don't know what I would have done. You're out on a tarmac for six hours with just a cup of water? I mean, the only saving grace is that at least the AC is running, right?
Starting point is 00:05:25 I mean, if you're sitting at the gate, you probably don't have the AC on. People talk about being stuck at the gate forever without any AC and nothing to drink. At least on the tarmac you got a little AC because the plane's running. I wouldn't have been able to take it. I would not have been able to take it. But I'm sure that United is very, very sorry for the delay and they're going to do everything in its power to not let something like this happen again. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Well, here we go again.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Two women have sued a man that's been around forever and that everyone, because of the way he's portrayed in the media, loves George Foreman. The former heavyweight champion of the world in boxing. And a pitchman sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of merchandise. I mean, he's worth two or three hundred million dollars. I mean, he's worth a lot of money. And he's really everyone that's ever.
Starting point is 00:06:29 met him. Well, not everyone now. Most people that have met him think he's a nice guy. He's 73 now. He's being sued for $25 million, at least $25 million, claiming by two women who claimed he groomed and sexually abused them when he was in his 20s, and they were aged 13 and 16. They filed lawsuits against the allegedly abusive ex-heavyweight champs. So almost 50 years after the alleged incident? Okay. George said, I don't pick fights, but I don't run away from them either. And he has vehemently denied these claims, these allegations.
Starting point is 00:07:16 No problem. He said that, you know, this is absolutely not true. He denies all of the allegations. Now, the two women claim that he, you know, obviously groomed them. She, there are two separate lawsuits. claiming compensation for physical and mental pain and suffering. He met the girls when they were under the age of 10. He had sex with them when they were 15,
Starting point is 00:07:43 and he was already a boxing champ. They allege that he threatened to fire her father. The one girl says that her father worked for him, and he said, you know, hey, I'll fire your dad if you don't do what I say. Oh, okay. Well, last month, George released a statement saying two women have been trying to extort millions of dollars each from me and my family. How about no? According to TMZ, they, the women initially asked Foreman for 12.5 million.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Hey, we won't say anything if you guys. give us 12.5 million each. And George is like, no. So it's been, I mean, since the 70s? Wow. They falsely claim that he sexually abused them for 45 years ago in the 70s. I adamantly and categorically deny these allegations. The pride I take in my reputation means as much to me as my sports accomplishments,
Starting point is 00:08:52 and I will not be intimidated by baseless threats and lies. Okay. Uh, just amazing that this is happening. I mean, look, if it's true, and that is a very, very big if, because I, I am on Georgia's side here. I mean, it seems that, uh, you know, like I said, if, if it's true, uh, you know, he should be, you know, in jail. No question. But, uh, this is part of the. deal with the new law in California that has resulted in thousands of lawsuits.
Starting point is 00:09:34 That's what enabled the same, the legislation that enabled Judy Huff to sue Bill Cosby for, you know, raping her at Playboy Mansion when she was 15. So, uh, we'll see. I mean, we'll just, we'll see. I, I don't buy it. So it's been 50 years. and now you're going after him. Now you're going after George Foreman.
Starting point is 00:10:02 It just doesn't seem real. And, you know, if it is, if it comes out that it is, he absolutely should be in jail. And boy, if it is, again, if it is, wow. I mean, he's got an incredible, an incredible catalog behind him of being a good guy, and it all gets burned to the ground. Bill Cosby is well aware of something like that.
Starting point is 00:10:26 I got like Harvey Weinstein really didn't have a good track record. But these women were using him. I mean, we can go on and on about Harvey Weinstein. My feelings on that. You know, he's obviously, you know, a douchebag, but, you know, these women got a lot out of Harvey, you know, both in the hotel room and out. Anyway, it's just George Foreman.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Let's, I mean, I hope that it's not true because. And when it's a shame now, that George Foreman, at 73 years of age, if he's innocent, if he actually is innocent, and I believe him, he says he is, that he, I mean, now this taints him forever now, forever, forever until he dies.
Starting point is 00:11:11 George Foreman, the heavyweight champion, the once heavyweight champion in the world, the George Forman pitchman, one of the best pitch men in the world, hawking his goods on TV. And now... And we also interlussed against him or molesting little girls.
Starting point is 00:11:25 always from now on. That's kind of sad. And that's even with, you know, innocent until proven guilty, innocent until proven guilty, which is, you know, even questionable in today's world. But, I mean, that you still have, you still have the allegations hanging over you.
Starting point is 00:11:43 You still have to go to court. You still have to prove it. And then you come out of the courtroom and, you know, a percentage of the people, well, they got it wrong. He's a dirtbag. So, good luck george good luck all right let's go to the break room i need something cool to drink and i could use
Starting point is 00:12:01 a burger off the old george foreman grill too come to think of it and when i say burgers uh on the old george forman grill i mean cow burgers beef burgers i see where now we have scientists that have come up with these worm burgers and not the you know like where you have the burgers with the worms on top. I mean, who doesn't enjoy a good batch of worms on top of your burger? But a doc, Dr. Heecho, the project leader from a
Starting point is 00:12:43 Wonkwang University. So you know it's going to be good. Climate change is partially fueled by cow emissions. Yeah, well, no kidding. Duh. Oh, hence the need for beef substitutes. No. No, I disagree with that, Doc.
Starting point is 00:13:02 But he has created an actual meat alternative with worms, the worm burger. Yum, yum, yum. I mean, how much do you want a wormburger? Insects are nutritious and healthy food source with high amounts of fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and high quality protein, which is just like meat. mealworm contains beneficial essential amino acids and is high in unsaturated fatty acids. Oh, man. And now you've convinced me.
Starting point is 00:13:40 I don't even know why I'm, you don't need to go on. You know, I'm all, I'm with you. I'm with you. So, I mean, they're already putting worm dust in our foods. We see it from time to time. People have been sending me picks on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR, Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio, Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. of product descriptions of what's in the food. And there's this mealworm dust.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I forget what it's called. I call it mealworm dust. And it's there. It's better for you. It's all good for you. You heard just how good it is. But apparently mealworm is one of the most widely used edible insects in the world. And good.
Starting point is 00:14:21 But now, with Cho, whose solution it has to grind the worms into a a seasoning that can be added to various food. Oh, he can also do that too. Excellent. Yes. He's, now this guy is on top of it. He has studied mealworms throughout their entire life cycle, looking at how the compounds present differed in each stage. They found volatile hydrocarbons that evaporated and resulted in strong sense. Oh, okay, so we wait until that gets done. So we don't have to smell them. All right. Love that. So, raw larvae smelled of wet soil, shrimp, and sweet corn, but changed depending on the method of cooking. Steamed mealworms emitted aromas of sweet corn. While roasted and deep fried larvae were more oily.
Starting point is 00:15:27 We had various amounts of mealworm and sugar. We had various amounts of mealworm and sugar. in our testing samples and we are ready to go with meal worm burgers. Yum. Yum. So as long as we're speaking about eating meal worms, I mean, what are we? Neanderthals. I see we have a new study out there where researchers collected data on a craniofacial morphology
Starting point is 00:15:57 from the published literature. This ultimately resulted in a data set, including 13 Neanderthals, 233 prehistoric homeosapens, and 83 modern humans. They use the facial features and the DNA because they don't know when and where the Neanderthals and the old homo sapiens
Starting point is 00:16:26 started hooking up. up taking care of a little business i mean we've talked to that about before uh you know when neanderthals and uh homo sapiens uh had a little business and uh created uh you know the human being now uh because we know that at one point i mean i'm sure the homo sapiens were like don't be messing with those those people are weird and the neanderthals was like i got to get me some of that i don't know where that came from but i'm going to get me some of that so apparently uh according to this study, the facial structure of prehistoric skulls supports the hypothesis that much of the interbreeding, much of the bidness between the Neanderthals and the Homo sapiens, the early humans,
Starting point is 00:17:11 took place in the near east, the region ranging from North Africa to Iraq. So in that neck of the woods, there was the humans and the Neanderthals and some, few of them anyway. We don't know how many. A few of them. All looked at each other and said, oh, yeah. Have you seen that Neanderthal? I know. That one there. Have you seen the Neanderthals were like, have you seen that human? I have. All right. Let's go take care of it. It was a little bit of business. And that's what the new study said. So there's nothing like Neanderthal and human business going on. It's only a few thousand years ago. I don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:18:00 I'll stop thinking about it. But it's difficult. I know that they lived, what, more than, I don't know, 11,000 years ago, maybe more. So, all that is to me is ongoing business. That's it, man. Just keep the business ongoing. That's it. And our species will survive.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Life will find a way. heard that before. I mean, we just found this ancient insect specimen talking about life imitating art or art imitating life. They found an ancient insect trapped in a hundred million year old amber, which represents the oldest fies agastric. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Fies agastric. Okay, I got it. Fyzergastric. Thank you. I appreciate it. Fisogastric. Thank you. I appreciate it. Fis That's what I was going to say. It's the oldest physogastric insect
Starting point is 00:19:02 whose abdomen can enlarge and elongate. That's what Reacher said. I say leave it there. Leave it alone. Okay, it's trapped in tree resin, preserved in a time capsule. Let's just leave it alone. Don't
Starting point is 00:19:19 start going in and getting DNA out of it. Because we've seen where that leads. Yeah, we have. and we all know life will find a way you know maybe for dinosaurs but not humans as of
Starting point is 00:19:36 yet we do have a couple of who died today today's who died today today uh Joe E. Tata the actor 85
Starting point is 00:19:48 battled with Alzheimer's for the last few years very sad I don't wish that on anyone well No, I don't wish that on anyone. I mean, the guy was a big time actor. He was just a TV guy, a working actor. He was in these huge shows, you know, like TV shows. He was in all these TV shows as a background actor.
Starting point is 00:20:10 And then what you may remember him from is 90210, the TV series. I mean, he was in a huge episode. He was like the owner of the Peach Pit for 90210. and he was in, I mean, they had, I don't know how many episodes, that stupid show had a couple hundred, maybe 300 shows. And so, I mean, you would know him if you saw him. Joe E. Tata, dead at the age of 85. And then we have one more in the Who Died Today, although he didn't really die today. They just, they found him.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Stephen Hoffenberg, former business partner of Jeffrey Epstein, did. They didn't know where he was. They wondered, hey, what's happening? Nobody's seen Steve. What's going on? Maybe we should have a wellness check. Yeah, we probably should. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Well, let's go to his house in Connecticut. Okay. Hello, Steve. Are you there? Yeah. Hello? No. We have a body of a white male deceased.
Starting point is 00:21:25 And a visual identification cannot be made. Oof, it was a decomposing body. He'd been dead for a little while. So they believe the autopsy is still pending. Death, you know, the cause of death does not been determined, but there were no signs of trauma. We're awaiting a toxicology report and dental records to confirm that it's
Starting point is 00:21:51 Hoffenberg's identity now he worked with Epstein in the debt collection agency where that was they had started a Ponzi scheme with Epstein and he spent 18 years in prison that's not that's not good so there you go Stephen Hoffenberg believed to be dead at the age of 77.

So you know that as listeners to chewing the fat, that no one supports animals and zoos
Starting point is 00:23:25 more than chewing the fat and me. Now, I do, you know, I believe that humans are first, but animals, I love them. And I have Dr. Gabby Wild, who has a guide with Nathno Deographic, I'm sorry, Nat Geo, on how to speak to animals. And it's based for everyone. I mean, it talks about how helps kids understand animals, Doc. But, I mean, really, everyone believes that they have some way to communicate with their animals, right? So if we have experts like yourself, teaching us a better way. to communicate with the animals, that can't be bad.
Starting point is 00:24:07 That's right. And you're right. Everybody knows how to communicate, especially with the animals that we call bioscience. So the one that, well, from my case, in my lap, I have my two-hour sitting with me right now, enjoying the day with Mommy staying home, doing these radio interviews.
Starting point is 00:24:25 And it's amazing how people are able to relate to their own pets. And at the veterinarian, and all other vets would agree that an owner knows what's going on with their baby better than anyone else. We could examine, but if an owner says, no, I'm telling you, dog, it ain't right. I hear that a lot. It ain't right. It ain't doing right. I know that that person really is perceiving something very honest and very true.
Starting point is 00:24:54 And so it's really wonderful having people that are so perceptive. but from a zoo setting, my zookeepers are unbelievable. They are the owner. They know how those collections are supposed to be acting, that animal, how much it eats, how little it eat, what it likes to do, what its enrichment is like. And if they haven't been acting normally, they know best, better than anyone else, if something is wrong. So, yeah. No, go ahead. I'm concerned in your book, it talks about how you profile 60 different creatures.
Starting point is 00:25:26 And so, I mean, we obviously all animals communicate with each other some way, somehow. If it's even just throwing a walnut in your face, they're trying to tell you something, right? I mean, they're trying to tell you something. So out of the 60 different creatures that you feature in How to Speak Animal for Nat Geo, what was your favorite creature? Oh, that is so hard to say. I love all species. I find, but when you talk about their unique forms of communication, for me, I think the unique forms are things that you don't think of right away.
Starting point is 00:26:08 You know, like I find it so unbelievable that, you know, sharks can detect your electromagnetic aura, your pulse. It can detect it in the water. So you might not want to be communicating with that shark. But just by being alive and having an electromagnetic pulse, because anything that is alive has one, it is able to detect you. And I think things of that nature, that that communicates,
Starting point is 00:26:35 that's a signal to them that there is something there. But it doesn't have feelings. It just detects the being, right? Well, that's a form of communication. It detects electromagnetic, the same way you might say, you know, pheromones, that's a form of communication. Animals are going to pee and or they're going to release
Starting point is 00:26:55 land and those are all germans that they're releasing. So those are chemical signals that were talking about. Absolutely, right. So we divide the book by in the land, in the water, in the air,
Starting point is 00:27:09 and by our side, just to kind of have an idea of where the animals are located and kind of what the main form of communication as you read on, what the main form of communication is for these different animals and how they can actually be very, very different,
Starting point is 00:27:23 even if they're living in the same place. but in the beginning of the book we go into the forms of communication that we try to make simplified. So auditory, tactile, visual, and chemical. And chemical, as you know, can be a little bit of a variety. So you can have olfactory that you're sensing it via smell, or it can be a pheromone that you're detecting in other ways. So like pheromones, a lot of people think about horses. They might see the horse do the flinglinger response,
Starting point is 00:27:55 where it lifts up its upper lip. It's trying to improve its ability to detect pyromones and taste and smell, and it's further exposing its femuric nasal organ. Right. So it's a unique way in this book to kind of... Okay, so, I mean, you're saying that the shark was your favorite? It was really interesting. My animal that I relate with, because I've just worked with them for so many years,
Starting point is 00:28:24 I love elephant. I was just going to lead you into that because I read where you're doing acupuncture with elephants. Now, I as a human being have gone through acupuncture at one point. And I would say that I really didn't feel like it did anything for me. Now, I was able to say that as a human. I was able to say, you know, what does the elephant blow the snout? say back off or do you say, doesn't say, oh, hey, thanks, that's great. I'm not going to stop on you today. That's a great question. That's a really great question. I think the question becomes,
Starting point is 00:29:04 what are you using it for? And how many sessions are you doing and the frequency of the session? So there aren't enough studies to prove in either direction that this is helping or hurting. Okay. I think from anecdotal case study, we see things for things like pain. It has shown to improve because we have proven how different chemicals are released when we do acupuncture. So we can, if you will, show that it can assist with pain. But if somebody says it's going to help you with cancer or going to help you with. Right.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I use it at one point. because they told me it would help me stop smoking. It did not. So there you go. I'm not certain it's going to have that effect, and nobody has done enough studies to tell you otherwise. But the pain, I really like to use it for that aspect. The Chinese use analogies where they would say meridians and channels and chi
Starting point is 00:30:10 because they didn't have our current scientific words to describe these things, but meridians are essentially nerves. and we're able to see things through that the meridians that they described were brilliant because many of the nerves are along these meridians exactly. So it's not this hocus pocus thing that they exactly describe. We're just finding better ways to understand a phenomenon that they were noticing. So now that we established that, how does an elephant tell me? So whenever I do medicine, they don't really tell me much of anything,
Starting point is 00:30:44 but I'm watching behavior. and I'm watching for changes. So when I'm doing acupuncture, it's usually as an adjunctive. I'm not doing it exclusively. I'm doing other things because if it has an infection, I'm not going to press these infectious points and hope it goes away. It needs medication. So that's why we combine these fields.
Starting point is 00:31:06 That's why people still died thousands of years ago because acupuncture didn't solve at all. We have to combine all these modalities that seem to somehow work. So if I don't have everything and I might say there's a medication I need, but we didn't have enough money, more than enough donations to get that money to get that medication. Or if the medication needed to be refrigerated and there was no way for me to do that safely and keep it prepared, then what am I going to do? So what I will do as in the junctive is do some acupuncture. If there is something where I'm very convinced, I know the condition and that this is truly going to help with pain,
Starting point is 00:31:45 I'll do the acupuncture. Before I do it on any animal, I always get permission points, and then I get points of relaxation. And I can tell right then and there, and all my viewers can see right then and there that the animals totally go. Right. I'm going to close their eyes and they relax. So I know it's working on those things. Right. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:04 So you being the animal communication expert, and from around the world, we have stories where different animals, in particular, since, especially since COVID when we locked down the cities and the animals decided that they could come back out and try to take over some of the areas. They, they, we have stories from around the world
Starting point is 00:32:29 where, you know, in particular, packs of monkeys are attacking humans. And as the experts called you in to say, maybe you're trying to talk the monkeys down? Are you trying to talk them down and say, hey, calm down.
Starting point is 00:32:45 No, nothing of that nature have I been called in the talking COVID monkeys down, but more about mitigating conflicts with animals and human-animal conflict. So, for example, elephants that are encroaching on farmlands or things of that nature. Which has been a big problem in a couple of countries, right? I mean, they're definitely destroying farmland and homes. Oh, absolutely, absolutely. So I do a lot of that kind of conflict analysis. And understanding their behavior and their nature allows me to further assist in mitigating these kinds of conflicts and making sure elephants are happy and people are happy.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Well, I mean, that's saving their lives, too, because I mean, most of the humans are, you know, while we're prepared to be nice for a while, only a while, right? I mean, I have to, as sooner or later, humans first, doctor. That's it. Yes. And, you know, in many circumstances, that is the case. But we have to find a way to find a balance. You know, in an immediate crisis, if an elephant is going to, you know, kill people or something of that nature, we have to protect that person. Sure.
Starting point is 00:34:03 But in the less immediate, we have to find a way to mitigate it so that way we can prevent it. Yeah. What's causing the elephants to act that way? No question about it. Human encroachment. Oh, it does not, no, it's elephant encroachment. Right, that's right. It's right.
Starting point is 00:34:23 And so it really isn't that elephant's fault. Well, okay. All right, I know, I got it. So the book, How to Speak Animal. So are you, what's next? Like, I know you're speaking, you're obviously, you know, going around and making sure we're able to communicate. with animals and communicate as best we can, right, and create new ways of communication so that we can hopefully survive,
Starting point is 00:34:54 you know, our species and their species on the same planet. What's next? Coexistence with everyone. It's the one health mechanism. So what's next is a lot of paper writing, promoting the message of this book and hosting campaigns for the book to get kids and kids at heart interested and interested. intrigued and knowledgeable about animal communication and just respecting animals.
Starting point is 00:35:20 And obviously my foundation is continuing to do a lot of advocacy work and a lot of conservation work, mainly in Africa and Indonesia. What is that? And our conservation work, mainly working with rhinos, sumachern elephants, Sumatra and tigers. What is the foundation? The Gabby Wild Foundation. Oh, okay. So originally named.
Starting point is 00:35:40 No, no. No. No. No. So we continue to do that. and getting more people involved. And you can learn more at gabbywild.org, G-A-B-B-W-I-L-D.
Starting point is 00:35:51 And then next year, Nat Geo and I have another cute little kids book coming out and getting back in the wild and continuing to do the work. That's the key is going out. So are you, while you're traveling, obviously, you know, you talk about human encroachment, but, you know, in some of the more populated countries,
Starting point is 00:36:11 are you a proponent of zoos so that they keep the animals safe and still try to keep them alive and keep their breeds going? Yeah, I think it depends on the zoo. So if we're calling it like an AZA-acc credited zoo where they are doing everything to promote conservation, where they're doing everything to promote fairness, they've done the science behind what is the right size for this kind of enclosure. they have veterinary staffing. The animal is a guest here. You know, we're not supposed to be gawking at them because they should be back in the wild doing their thing.
Starting point is 00:36:52 So, yeah, they're our guests. We have to be treating them as a guest. So if it's an ABA accredited situation, of course I support what the mission is. That's protecting them. But if it's a zoo on the side road that you don't have regulations, I don't support that.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Dr. Gabby-Wy-Wy, how to speak animal is the latest edition from her and Nat Geo. Fascinating. Thank you for coming on chewing the fat today. I appreciate it. Good luck with your foundation. And I promise that even though I believe in humans first, I'll think twice always that, you know, perhaps I'm encroaching on their area. It's okay.

Starting point is 00:38:14 Time for what's being called America's favorite game show What's the Lai What's the Lie? where contestants tried to decipher the lie from our count of one, two, three, four headlines. One of them is not true. Thus, that's where we get. What's the lie?
Starting point is 00:38:40 Welcome. Welcome to our contestant Rob Borowski, Rob, at TV's Robb official, host of what is now the former weekly show on Woke. Welcome to What's the Lie. How are you? Oh, I am so good, Jeffrey. Thank you for having me here. Oh, you're welcome. I am so excited.
Starting point is 00:38:58 I have heard this game show so many times, and I'm now eager to play. All right. I mean, if you're ready to play, four headlines and a lie, let's do it. Four headlines, and one is not real. One of them is the lie. Headline number one. Ethiopian airline pilots fell asleep during a flight and missed their landing. Headline number two, winded turbine blades could be recycled
Starting point is 00:39:25 into gummy bears, scientists say. Hungary's top forecasters were fired for incorrect rain prediction that caused Europe's biggest fireworks show to be canceled. Headline number four. If your landlord won't respond to your maintenance questions, you can hire this woman to act wild at their office. Those are your four headlines on What's the Lie? Ethiopian airline pilots fall asleep during the flight and miss the landing.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Wind turbine blades could be recycled into gummy bears. Hungary's top forecasters were fired for incorrect rain prediction that caused Europe's biggest fireworks show to be canceled. If your landlord won't respond to your maintenance questions, you can hire this woman to act wild at their office. Those are your four headlines, Rob. Now, listen, I want to say, for the office, audience. I mean, I don't want to hear because that means you got it wrong. And I don't want to hear that. The audience doesn't want to hear it.
Starting point is 00:40:34 We are rooting for you to be a grand prize winner. Well, a winner. Not a grand prize winner, really, but a winner. So, I mean, there's your headlines. Oh, man. So I'm trying to paste it all together thinking like Jeffie. Okay. That is a dangerous place in anybody's mind to go to.
Starting point is 00:40:55 So the Ethiopian one, I didn't even know they had airlines. So that makes me want to go that direction. Okay. But the weather forecasters being fired. Okay. When you add the second part. I mean, I will say that we don't have all day. Oh, there is a time.
Starting point is 00:41:16 You can work through these all you want. But, you know, there's, I'd like to get out of here sometime today. So you know what? I'm going to go with my gutt, things. I'm going to go with the first one because Ethiopians, pilots, doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Starting point is 00:41:33 I don't even think they know what an airport is. Wow. Dang it. So sad. No, of course Ethiopian Airlines exist. They had the big crashes. The 737 Max. It was them that went down. You know why? Because they're always hungry.
Starting point is 00:41:51 And they did fall asleep. They did fall asleep. and then they, after you get to a certain point after you put autopilot on, the autopilot shuts off and says, hey, idiot, fly the plane because they were sound asleep. Nobody could get a hold of them. Was it the low blood sugar?
Starting point is 00:42:08 Cost them about 30 minutes. They just missed, if you were on the plane, you probably didn't even know. Yeah, we're just going to have to turn this thing around a little bit. We overshot our runway. Yes, so that's true. So, hey, thanks for listening to What's the Live. What's the Lie?
Starting point is 00:42:27 It's a subsidiary of Chewing the Fat Enterprises. All information is probably accurate at the time of recording. CTF, WTL, MMX, I, I. So which one was it, Jeffie? All right, so I'll be happy to tell you. All right, now this one. Well, the wind turbine blades that could be recycled into gummy bears. True.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Which I thought, wow. I mean, that story just blew me away. That one didn't even factor in because I figured some scientists would say. Yeah. And I believe that they should use the wind turbines as a fence along the border. Just turn every other one upside down, every other one right along the border. They're huge. They can't be recycled and just use them as a fence.
Starting point is 00:43:14 I'm not climbing over those things. I mean, it's just an idea that here are two in a fat, I'm trying to help the country out a little bit. Save them a little money. Do you keep the bird poop on them, though? whatever whatever i mean if they're if we're gonna take them down and bury them in giant holes let's put them in the ground and use them as a fence but again what do i know nothing uh the hungary's top forecaster that was fired for incorrect rain prediction yeah that was true i mean hello you you can't see you made us cancel a fireworks show uh get off the air so this the one that was the
Starting point is 00:43:45 lie actually would be a good business plan i mean it's a million dollar idea well at least maybe a you know, a tens of thousands of dollar idea. If your landlord that won't respond to your maintenance, there's no woman you can hire to go act wild in your place. But there should be. Damn it, there should be.
Starting point is 00:44:06 I knew I should have gone with that one. That was the second that was the second pick. Was it? Yes, that was my second pick. Was it? Because it sounded like a Jeffey scheme. It sounded like a Jeffie scam. And I knew
Starting point is 00:44:20 that I should have gone. that direction. Thanks for stopping by. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts. Unwrap holiday magic at Holt Renfrew
