Starting point is 00:00:22 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 186653300 or visit Comics, Ontario.ca. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Americans are just a little bit safer today, thanks to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers, who stopped a woman trying to enter the United States of America with 100 pounds of undeclared cheese.
Starting point is 00:00:53 How dare she? Okay? How dare she? Now, she was an American. She was from Albuquerque, and she was trying to enter Texas from Mexico. Okay. She declared that she had 10 wheels of cheese, but when the officers inspected her car, they found an additional 50 wheels of undeclared cheese hidden under blankets in the back row of the vehicle.
Starting point is 00:01:21 So this contraband cheese is no longer available in America. All right. it was seized and destroyed, and the woman received a $1,000 civil penalty. So we can all breathe just a little bit easier, knowing that this undeclared cheese contraband did not make it into the United States of America. Now, they claim that, you know, it's okay to bring,
Starting point is 00:01:52 you know, a few wheels into the U.S., but not 60. No way. So, I mean, if you have 60 wheels, that's a commercial quantity. And so additional reporting requirements would apply. But thankfully, they caught it and destroyed it, and we don't have to worry about it. So just know that if you're thinking about going to Mexico and then coming back into the United States with 60 wheels of cheese. and you don't declare it, yeah, you're going to be busted and the cheese is going to get destroyed.
Starting point is 00:02:33 So just breathe a little bit easier that this did not make it into the United States of America. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. We have some big controversy in the chess world. I don't know if you've heard about this, but on September 4th, the world champion, Magnus Carlson was defeated by 19-year-old American Grandmaster Hans Neiman at the Syngenfeld Cup tournament in St. Louis. $350,000 was the prize money.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Pretty sweet. Carlson, whose loss to the inferior Neiman, came as a big shock, and he withdrew from the tournament and suggested on a Twitter post that Neiman had cheated. Other big names in the sport declared Neiman's play, Suss. and online chess giant chess.com banned him from the site over this and other cheating allegations. Now, Neiman said, hey, I didn't cheat. And if you don't believe me, I'll play naked to prove it, okay? Other chess pros have defended him saying, hey, these allegations are a witch hunt.
Starting point is 00:03:53 The chess world is in chaos right now. Now, it's theorized that Neiman got his hands on Carlson's game plan ahead of time and could anticipate his surprise opening. Other hypotheses alleges that Neiman linked wireless anal beads to a computer to alert him to the correct moves by vibrating. So, I mean, I don't know what's going to happen in the chess world, but this is, you know, turning the chess world upside down.
Starting point is 00:04:39 It's because of that theory that he said, hey, I'll play naked and prove that I didn't have wireless anal beads linked to a computer. That is so good. So good. But the chess world is, you know, on fire now. It's in chaos. So, you know, let's hope that, you know, what?
Starting point is 00:05:06 You know what? Let's play naked. Let's have some naked chess happening in my life. Okay? I'm going to watch. I'll tell you that. I don't know for how long, but I'm going to tune in. I mean, make it pay-per-view.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Let's pay-per-view naked chess just for the... the just for the fun of it. Just for the fun of it. Okay. Here's a story that I had said to me that I don't believe is real. I don't believe it. I just, I don't believe it's real. Okay, it's a great story.
Starting point is 00:05:37 And if it's real, holy cow. But I just, I find it difficult to believe. Okay, so a farm owner from Shelbyville, Indiana, transported to the hospital in critical condition. and he was admitted with an extremely agitated hen more than half buried in his rectum. So about 11.30 at night, Shelby County Paramedics were called to answer a medical emergency concerning a serious accident involving a farm animal, which, you know, was rather frequent in this rural area. Upon arriving on the site, they found 57-year-old Christopher Adams inebriated,
Starting point is 00:06:18 bloodied and naked in a hen house on a henhouse floor with a loudly clucking five-pound chicken sticking out of his rectum. Rectum, darn near killed him. And in this case, it's true. The paramedics briefly tried to remove the agitated bird from its uncomfortable position, but to no avail, and decided to transport Mr. Adams and the bird to the hospital. So they couldn't get the chicken out. So, they got him to the hospital and the doctor extracted the bird with a seven-hour surgical intervention. Both the man and the animal would have died if they had waited longer. So it's good that they acted when they did because you don't want the bird dying of that. The bird was dying of suffocation and it had already badly lacerated.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Mr. Adams' bowels in a desperate attempt to get out and was still gashing at it like crazy. The hen was finally extracted around 7.30 in the morning, suffering only minor physical injuries from the ordeal. Thankfully, the hen was okay. Mr. Adams, however, needed seven blood transfusions and more than 780 stitches. It's a miracle, said the doctor, that both the farmer, and his animal are still alive. They still do not know how the bird got stuck in there. The doctor said, I don't really know.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Both getting it out was so complicated and damaging that I can't imagine that getting it in could have been any fun either. And again, the doctor reiterated what a miracle it was that both the man and the animal survived. They still are investigating now. The Shelby County Sheriff's Department and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have both launched investigations on the incident.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Now, I know what you're wondering. Hey, what happened to the chicken? Well, the chicken is in custody of the ASPCA, the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for the duration of the investigation. And we'll treat it for any possible symptoms of a post-trial. syndrome. Yeah, you don't want the chicken. You don't want that hen suffering any PTSD from this particular incident. If true, which I find very difficult to believe. Now, there's a picture of a
Starting point is 00:09:03 man who they, I'm guessing they believe, is Mr. Adams, Christopher Adams, the 57-year-old man. He looks as though he's one of the pictures from my 600-pound life, people. I don't know that. I don't even know if it's him. They're just, there's a picture of a guy in a hospital bed. I just,
Starting point is 00:09:25 I was just assuming that it's him. I'm assuming that it's Christopher Adams. But I don't know that it is. And I don't know if that's the guy that had the hand stuck in his butt. But, I'm sorry, in his rectal cavity.
Starting point is 00:09:40 But thankfully, thankfully, if true, they're both alive and they're both safe and they're both being treated and the, investigation is ongoing. However, just let me say, I do not believe that this story is true.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I kind of want it to be, but then again, I don't. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Desperately get one for yourself, too, would you? So good. I was told that his national cheeseburger, day to day too so we might have to celebrate that as well we have the umies coming up tonight for those of you listening live today is the 12th of september 22 wow 912 22 seems like forever ago when uh was 9 11 uh i mean 21 years ago wow amazing anyway uh you know it's a good time to remember that for sure uh If you were alive, you will never forget it, that's for sure. And you shouldn't forget about it, even if you weren't alive.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Wow, so much has changed in those 21 years for everyone. I mean, there's been at least two, three lifetimes in that 21 years. Just incredible. So just remember, and this is something that you can remember today on 9-12, 2022, that the year 1970 and 2022 are as far apart as 1970 and 1918. Just something to think about from chewing the fat, that's all. I'll tell you one thing they didn't have in 1918, and that is moinkbox.com.
Starting point is 00:11:47 That is for sure. Did you know that 60% of U.S. pork production comes from one company owned by the Chinese, and their hogs are given something called ractopamine, which is banned in 160 countries, including China, yet you find it in your grocery aisle every day. There's a better way. And let me tell you about Moink. That's Moin' Moin' Moom plus oink. Moink delivers grass-fed and grass-finished beef and lamb, pastured pork and chicken, sustainable wild-caught Alaskan salmon. straight to your door, and they are amazing. Moink farmers farm like our grandparents did,
Starting point is 00:12:34 and as a result, moink meat tastes like it should, because the family farm does it better. The moinck difference is a difference you can taste, and you can feel good knowing you're helping family farms stay financially independent as well. Choose the meat delivered in every box, like rib-eyes to chicken breast, to pork chops, to salmon filets, to bacon, uh, and much more.

When it comes, it's just, uh, it's just a happy time to be able to open it up and see what you've got. Plus, the bacon is awesome. It's probably, I mean, it is the best bacon I've ever had. I mean, Shark Tank, Kevin O'Leary, shark tank host Kevin O'Leary called Moink bacon, the best bacon he's ever tasted. Um, he's correct.
Starting point is 00:13:26 I agree with Kevin. And ring doorbell founder Jamie Siminov jumped at the chance to invest in Moink. That was a good move on his part. Moinkbox.com.

So Jennifer Lawrence is whining again about only making $25 million for her role in the movie that she's starring in that's coming up. I think it's called Don't Look Up. She's, you know, she did an interview with Vogue. I have not read or heard or watched this interview with Vogue. Vogue yet I will because I want to share it with you because she is whining that, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:35 Leonardo DiCaprio made $5 million more than I did. And, you know, that's just, I'm just not going to get paid as much as that guy because of my vagina. No, Jen, that's not it. Sorry, sorry to disappoint you. She even said this as much in an interview a couple of years ago, where she, She was saying, look, I know that Leo brings more to the, more to the box office than I did. So, you know, I get it. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Yeah, that's why, Jen, and both of you could bring in a bunch of money. Plus, it's really difficult to feel sorry for somebody whining that $25 million wasn't enough. And I know, I get it. Look, I understand the process. So, you know, if you're worth more than what you're getting paid, you absolutely can be upset about it. But you agreed to it. So don't do the part. Don't do the part and then whine about it.
Starting point is 00:16:31 So I just, it's just really difficult for me to like Jennifer. And I want to. I don't know why I want to, but I do. But she has turned into this agonizing human. And so it's tough to feel sorry for her. I know, Jen. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Leo made more money than you in that. last movie thing you did and now you're only making 25 million and so you know i it's tough i know it's tough people are struggling all over the world and i can understand how it's a struggle for you as well i see another hollywood female in trouble with their marriage to emily radikowsky has filed for divorce i know sad dry your eyes it's okay uh apparently uh hubby has been cheating. It's been in the news. It's been reported that he was a dog and he's been out there, you know, he's a serial cheater. But Emily was seen, you know, photographed without her wedding ring on and now it's official. She's moved out of their place in New York and she's
Starting point is 00:17:41 officially filed for divorce from Sebastian Bear McClard, who she's had a kid with. They've got a kid last year. What was the kids? Sylvester. Yeah. In March of 2016. 21. So they've got a young kid. And so she filed for divorce because he cheated. It does go back to my old joke, though. Just remember, this is just a joke,
Starting point is 00:18:10 okay? It's just a joke. It's not real. But jokes do come from a real place sometimes. And you'd think to yourself, wow, Emily Radikowski, she's a model, she's an actress. She's so beautiful. How
Starting point is 00:18:25 could this guy cheat on her? Well, you know, the joke is, you show me a good looking woman. I'll show you a man tired of her. It's just a joke. That's just a joke. Oh, stop it. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Just a heads up, life in the train age, starting today, U.S. railroads said they would delay shipments of some materials in advance of a potential strike by more than 90,000 rail employees.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Oh, okay. Unions representing the employees have threatened to walk out starting Friday over disagreements with their work scheduling. Many of the people who work in a two-person cruise on trains have to be on-call seven days a week, which makes planning non-work activities with family or friends basically impossible. A strike would halt all activity along U.S.'s 140,000-mile rail network. What could possibly go wrong? I mean, nothing gets shipped on a rail line, right? Wrong.
Starting point is 00:20:05 The U.S. economy would lose $2 billion every single day, that trains aren't moving. Okay. That from the Association of American Railroads. Because while, you know, we all think freight trains, you know, they're just blocking your car at the crossing. They're integral to getting goods where they need to be. One third of U.S. grain exports travel by rail. A disruption of those moments would worsen food shortages across those.
Starting point is 00:20:40 world. About half of all U.S. fertilizer travels in trains. The CEO of a fertilizer trade group warned lawmakers that the drying up of fertilizer flows would raise food prices for consumers. How do over 75% of finished vehicles get from factories to dealerships? By train. One rail car can carry as many as 2,000 UPS packages. Uh, hello, couldn't we just ask some truck drivers to pick up the cargo during the rail work stoppage? Not really. You need 467,000 more long-haul truckers per day to make up the shortfall. That's good. That's good. Let's let them strike. Let's piss off the rail workers. Let's do that. Considering the U.S. economy would nearly implode if trains were to stop running, you know, the government has been trying to keep close tabs on the negotiations, but nothing
Starting point is 00:21:35 seems to be working out. Congress has the power to block the strike from happening. if a deal isn't reached, but if I'm a rail worker, you know, okay, and you're telling me I can't strike. All right, but, man, am I sick? I do not feel good. Wish I, wish I could go to work. But, man, I think I have, let's see, I don't know, do they call it the train flu?
Starting point is 00:22:01 They call it rail flu? Because that could be happening. I could be happening. And it's sad, I mean, I just was, we have trains go not far from my house every day. It's a busy, busy train line going into Fort Worth. And I was just stopped at the light waiting for the train yesterday. And it was just cars full of coal.
Starting point is 00:22:25 I wonder what they were using. What all that coal gets used for? What are when all that coal gets used for? Huh. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe if you can remind me what that coal. What people use coal for.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Yeah, they'll send me an email. chewing the fat at the blaze.com. That's for the life of me. I can't figure out, you know, why they need to ship all that coal on those rail lines. I keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer or whatever.
Starting point is 00:22:53 You do not want the rail lines shut down. And then, you know, we have flights being canceled all over the world. And there's an airport in Amsterdam. The, I think it's the Shaiapol airport, or some people call it. Amorphophalis.
Starting point is 00:23:12 I think that's the way it's pronounced. I could be wrong. They have asked airlines to cancel flights between 4 and 11 p.m. Just one day so far due to labor shortages. We don't have enough people, so how about you just stop flying into our airport for a while? That is not good. That is not good. Employees in the terminal are working as hard as they can to ensure that everyone could travel,
Starting point is 00:23:35 but unfortunately there's a chance that travelers will miss their flight due to long waiting times. airlines that comply with the request to cancel flights will be compensated. Wow. So, hey, we'll give you money, but please stop your flights. We don't want to have to try to work any harder than we're already working. It's coming to an airport near you soon. So good, that's good. That's good.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Things are looking up. So just in time for the rail strike, we'll go ahead and just stop shutting down airline flights too. Good, good, good. Hey, the queen is on the moon. Why do I keep thinking that the queen is on the moon? She's not on the moon. The queen is on the move. Although she may be on the moon, I'll tell you that.
Starting point is 00:24:20 The queen's coffin heads toward London, so she's on the move. And she's journeying from Scotland to London, and the funeral is next Monday. And it's going to be a huge event, diplomatic event, from around the world, is coming to London for the funeral. Even our own president, Joseph Robinette Biden, will be there. Yay! That'll just be great. That'll just be great.
Starting point is 00:24:48 It might be fun if Jill's will be there for sure trying to keep him rained in. So it might be fun. I'll never know. I see where Australia is trying to make a move maybe to change their money. Instead of putting King Charles on it, they want Steve Irwin's face on the money. I don't know if it's a real proposal. but I certainly saw the story. So, I mean, there are a lot of people aren't happy with the old King Charles.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I see where Antigua and Barbidu may ditch the monarchy, the Prime Minister of the Caribbean nation, said it will hold a vote on whether to become a republic and remove King Charles III as head of state, joining other former colonies from revisiting their relationship with the British monarchy. Most people haven't even bothered to think about it, according to the Prime Minister, but becoming,
Starting point is 00:25:39 a republic would complete the circle of independence. So, yay. I see where Prince William gave the olive branch, we saw Bill and Kate and Harry and Megan all walk out to the flowers and meet and greet the crowd together. It was an amazing picture. I'll tell you that. See it all four of them walking together.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Apparently William sent out the olive branch and they had a 45-minute negotiation over the walkout to the flowers. So they were supposed to be out there, and they delayed that walk for 45 minutes because probably Megan, I want to be on one side, and I don't want to walk with them. No, there's no mention of what the negotiation was. But they all made the walk together. So we'll see.
Starting point is 00:26:29 They were all out there, you know, hugging and taking hands with everybody outside of Windsor. and it was an amazing sight to see all four of them walk out together. I mean, it was pretty incredible. Pretty incredible times. Apparently, Charles called William and said, hey, you know, throw him a bone
Starting point is 00:26:52 and tell them you'll walk out there with them to the flowers and greet the people. Okay. All right, and they did. Amazing. It was unbelievable. There was no fights going on out there in the flowers in front of the people. It was nothing but love.
Starting point is 00:27:07 There was only a few pictures of looks of, really wasn't disdain. It was just, you know, they were busy looking each other, but they all played nice. It was pretty amazing. And so, and I know Harry's got a book coming out soon that's going to rip them apart. It's going to be awful.
Starting point is 00:27:23 But, you know, we'll see the funeral is, there's another story now. We have Prince Andrew and Sarah are going to take care of the corgis. The queen was still, still liked Sarah, even after the divorce. And Sarah loved the dogs. So Prince Andrew and Sarah are going to take care of the dogs,
Starting point is 00:27:41 according to reports. Lovable corgis. So the workers for Andrew and Sarah are going to be taking care of the Queen's dogs. That's nice of him to step up. I see where Andrew, you know, he had everything ripped away from him. Some people were heckling him at one point,
Starting point is 00:27:58 but he's supposed to, he was just wearing a suit as he was following the Queen's coffin because he can't wear his uniform and stuff. But because that was all stripped away from him, all his titles, I'm told that he gets to wear his little special title uniform for the funeral. I don't know. That's going to happen or not. We'll see if Charles allows that to happen.
Starting point is 00:28:17 But it's reported that he'll get to wear his little, you know, his outfit with all his awards and his titles for the funeral. I would say no to that. I mean, the queen was the one that pulled the plug on him for that. So I know he's got to pay respect to his sister, I mean, his mom. but, you know, she's the one that pulled the plug on that because of his, you know, his pal, Jeffrey Epstein. So we'll see.
Starting point is 00:28:46 We shall see. And speaking to Jeffrey Epstein, I see where it's being reported. And, I mean, it makes sense in today's world, right? I mean, there's certainly believable that the FBI could be sitting on explosive secret records involving Jeffrey Epstein. What? The FBI would have something to hide
Starting point is 00:29:07 after all their interviews with Jeffrey Epstein? So apparently, Technophog said that his freedom of information request indicates that
Starting point is 00:29:20 the Bureau is hiding something. So would that surprise anyone? Would it surprise anyone that the FBI would be lying about Jeffrey Epstein? No.
Starting point is 00:29:32 I mean, I watched My Son Hunter this weekend, and it's available. Just go to My Son Hunter.com. Wow. I tell you, most, I mean, everything I knew pretty much in the movie, but to see it and hear it, you know, it's presented, the way it's presented in the movie, it makes you, what's the word I'm looking for? angry.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Make to, yeah, it just made me more angry at the whole Biden thing. And, man, I just want, I just want. That's, I'm just going to leave it at that. It's well worth the watch. It was a fun ride. The way it was presented was a different way of presenting the information. And I enjoyed it. MysonHunter.com.
Starting point is 00:30:30 It was, you know, you can, Watch the movie. You know, it's well worth to watch. Well worth the watch. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So, no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats.

Product availability varies by region.
Starting point is 00:31:20 See app for details. I see where psychedelics are, I guess, making a big comeback. A new study shows how psychedelics, in conjunction with talk therapy, have a potential to treat alcohol addictions. Okay. It's the latest evidence that hallucinogenic drugs, particularly mushrooms, the psilocybin, have medical use. The study from NYU Langhorne Health, 93 heavy drinkers attended 12 psychotherapy sessions over the course of eight months. At two sessions, they received either psilocybin or an anihistamine placebo. By the end of the study, more than 80% of those in the psychedelic group drank heavily far less often, compared to just over half of the placido group.
Starting point is 00:32:12 and even more promising in the study, half of the hallucinogen group was full on sober compared to a quarter of the control group. Okay, so just give me the psilocybin, and I will, I'll go ahead and stop drinking. All right, good. Just a little microdosing. I'm good with that.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Cilocybin, maybe some microdosing of some LSD. Okay, no problem. They think psilocybin may, rewire parts of the brain associated with addictive habits. NYU plans to start another larger trial that will take three years. Wow, three years. One day to get the FDA's approval to use the drug for treating addiction. Wow, three years, though.
Starting point is 00:32:57 That seems like a long freaking time, man. Cilocybin is being used by more young folks outside of the doctor's office, according to this study. A National Institute of Health Report showed that, use of hallucinogens, hallucinogens, hallucinogens, why can't I even say that word? I mean, I was joking around not saying it, and now I can't say it at all. The hallucinogens jumped to a record high among adults in 2021, with 8% of respondents age 19 to 30, reporting that used, they had used hallucinogens, including LSD and psilocybin in the past year.
Starting point is 00:33:39 That's up like 3%. So that's a, you know, I guess that's a big number. But to me, that doesn't seem like a big number. Although, you know, everybody, you know, all these shows in the past, all these television shows and streaming shows. And I say, oh, there's been, you know, multiple shows that have people microdosing in those shows. So it doesn't surprise me that a small percentage of people would try it that hadn't tried it in the past.
Starting point is 00:34:09 But good luck. Hey, good luck. If it works. It works. I see where we have a woman. And this is actually big news. And it's another story that, you know, I don't know that I believe it.
Starting point is 00:34:23 But it's out there. So, you know, okay. So apparently scientists in the UK have developed a test to determine whether people have Parkinson's disease. And it's thanks to the help of a woman who can sniff. the disorder. You heard me right.
Starting point is 00:34:44 She can sniff out Parkinson's disease. A retired nurse from Scotland knew her husband Les had Parkinson's over a decade before he was diagnosed when she identified a change in the way he smelled. He had this musty, rather unpleasant smell, especially around his shoulders and the back of his neck and his skin had definitely changed. I kept saying to him,
Starting point is 00:35:10 you're not showering properly. And he became quite angry about it at first. So she connected the smell to the disease after Les was diagnosed. And the couple met people at a Parkinson's support group who had the same smell, according to the BBC. She found to have a hereditary hypersomnia, a heightened sensitivity to smells. So now they're working with her to develop a test that can identify people with Parkinson's, disease.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Oh, I don't know that I want her sniffing around me like that. But the test uses a simple cotton swab run
Starting point is 00:35:50 along the back of the neck. The researchers claim that the test is 95% accurate under laboratory conditions.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Wow. By working with Joy, scientists found that sebum, an oily substance secreted from
Starting point is 00:36:06 pores in the skin, contained 10 compounds, linked to Parkinson's. They also discovered that the most accurate results came from sebum, taken from the back of people's necks and between their shoulder blades, which is what Joy was saying, right?
Starting point is 00:36:22 The shoulders, dude, you got a tower better, man. You're missing your shoulders. You're starting to stink. That was not even funny. I don't want her sniffing around me, though. I don't know that I want to know. Because if she gets it early, there's still no, there's no cure, right? Okay, so I promised my honey before I died, I would help in research.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Yeah, there's no cure, no definitive diagnostic test for Parkinson's. So, I mean, if she's sniffing around saying, yep, you smell like Parkinson's, what are you going to do about it? Nothing. I don't want her sniffing around. You keep your nose to yourself, okay? Go tell somebody else they got Parkinson's. When you come up with a cure, let me know.
Starting point is 00:37:07 I mean, I've been around it. I had one relative that had Parkinson's. And it is not pretty. It is not a pretty disease at all. And this guy went around the world as a test subject. He was in the military for a long time. And he was diagnosed with Parkinson. I mean, the guy traveled the world.
Starting point is 00:37:26 He built towers for the military. I mean, he's just, he was just a, he's a wonderful man. And he got Parkinson and was such a struggle. But he told the doctors at the VA, I'm your test subject. Find a cure. find a cure use me i don't care what you do find a cure i don't want anybody else to get this and uh they tested him for you know years until they finally couldn't test him anymore they said that he uh had been tested so much and so many different things tried that uh they wouldn't if something worked they
Starting point is 00:37:58 wouldn't know why it worked because he had so much testing done i mean some things he would get and it would work for a brief time and then it would you know come back It was just horrible. So when you find a cure, then let's get Joy back and she can start sniffing around me. But until then, I don't want her nose around me. I know it was a big football weekend, college and NFL. It was nice to have the NFL back. It's nice to have college football back.
Starting point is 00:38:26 We had big losses, surprise losses in both college and NFL. We got Brady back. And I see where the wife, Giselle tweeted, go Tom Brady. There's been, it's been reported. that perhaps Tom, you know, knew the password and tweeted that himself. So we'll see. But he won, and the Dallas Cowboys did not look good at all last night. And we'll see.
Starting point is 00:38:53 But one of the big stories that nobody's talking about is the fire in Miami. About a dozen cars torched at the Miami Dolphins game yesterday. Someone, I guess, left a grill under their car without putting out the coals and started a fire. and they burned like a dozen cars. You can see footage from some of the fans in the stadium. They're like, hey, what's that smoke coming from out there in the parking lot? And so the fire department was there. It took like 30 minutes to put the fire out and they shut it all down.
Starting point is 00:39:24 But no one, I mean, they didn't say, hey, if you parked a lot to be, you may want to check it out. Nope, they just waited for the people that come out of the stadium after the game. How bad would that suck? walking out of that stadium after the game. You just spent four hours or more inside that stadium, enjoying the game, perhaps partaking in some extracurricular activities, and you've been partying, you were out at tailgating, so you were there early because you were the one,
Starting point is 00:39:58 I mean, if you're the one that had the grill left, there's going to be a tough road to hoe. But even if you were just parked out there, and then you come back out and it's one of your cars that's just burned to the ground. Was the game still worth it? I don't know. I don't know, but it would not be a fun sight to come walking out of that stadium and coming down the parking lot.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Oh, what's going on? Wow, some people had their cars burned. Wait, that one's mine. Man, that would suck. And you can quote me on that. All right, thanks for listening. I appreciate you. listening to Chewing the Fat.
