Starting point is 00:00:36 Well, if you were thinking about getting a new Ford, you're probably going to have to wait. According to Ford, they are going to have 40,000 to 45,000 cars nearly finished, but lacking crucial parts until the end of the third quarter. The shortage this time, sure, there's a chip shortage. Sure, there's some other shortages that they can't quote. get the cars to market but now the Ford logo the blue oval Ford logo they can't they can't get enough of them I know so there won't be any any Ford's because they won't have the oval badge to affix to the exterior of the vehicles so darn the luck now apparently the company has considered 3D printing
Starting point is 00:01:29 the iconic insignia, but they don't want to do that. Huh. So we're just going to live without the logo and let the cars sit. That's perfect. Just perfect. Now, it's said in some of the stories that before the global financial crisis, now it doesn't say what dates that was. I'm not sure when the global financial.
Starting point is 00:01:59 crisis began. You know, okay. But they said they needed money so desperately that it pledged the Blue Oval as collateral to secure financing. So apparently that's over with now. They don't, they use the Blue Oval for collateral again. Now they just can't get it made. Oh, no. I know.
Starting point is 00:02:25 It's sad. So, you know. Or will we ever see just Ford Cut? driving around without the blue Ford logo? Probably not. But I would say, you know, maybe a 3D print them and glue them on there. Maybe you hire an artist and just give them a paint brush and set them at the beginning of the cars you've got all rowed up, 40 to 45,000 of them and just have him paint or her, I'm sorry, just have the artist paint the old Ford logo on the cars just to get them out there.
Starting point is 00:02:59 to the marketplace but you know again i say it quite often and i think i mean it what do i know welcome welcome to chewing the fat so once again we have a bargain hunter at an estate sale that finds something worth of fortune a bargain hunter in maine went to a an estate sale looking for a kitchenade mixer, a bookshelf for some vintage clothing. And then looked, uh, while they were walking through the estate sale said, hey, that's kind of a cool looking framed document hanging out on the wall there. What do you want for that bad boy? And I said, ah, you know what? It's been hanging there for a while. Why don't you give me 75 bucks for it? Oh, okay. Well, once we did that, we realized that, uh, it is worth about $10,000. It is a manuscript that, that, you know, that, you know, it's a manuscript that,
Starting point is 00:03:59 is from the 13th century. It was used about 700 years ago in Roman Catholic worship. The document is worth about $10,000. So that's a pretty good investment at the old estate sale, 75 bucks for the medieval times document. It's pretty cool. It's an elaborate script in Latin, along with musical notes and gold.
Starting point is 00:04:29 flourishes sticker said 1285 AD and based on what we've seen in the manuscripts class the document looked downright medieval that's because it was and so you never know what you're going to get at those yard sales I'm sorry estate sales so just keep your eyes open when you're out there looking for the old KitchenAid mixer or a bookshelf or maybe a nice new blouse that someone wore 50 years ago that would look good on you. Make sure you look at the stuff hanging on the walls.
Starting point is 00:05:06 So I saw a tweet that I was tagged in at Jeffrey JFR that had a picture of the hurricane tracker app, and this was from yesterday, and it showed that Tampa Bay was smack dab in the middle of the cone of death. And that was happening. And remember, I
Starting point is 00:05:23 talked about how, you know, sometimes when it crosses Cuba, it falls apart, and we and it takes a while for it to strengthen, but this storm went across Cuba pretty fast, and it looks like it didn't really break up any. It just kind of huddled together and is going to intensify quickly once it gets back over water. But I saw the tweets that I feel like I remember, uh, me, Jeffrey JFR, saying that storms always move away from Tampa at the last minute.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Well, that started back in 2004 when I was working in Tampa Bay, and Hurricane Charlie had its eye on Tampa Bay. And we evacuated. It was the same thing that's happening now, a little bit longer in time as far as the evacuations go for Tampa Bay. And we did think it was coming into Tampa Bay. We evacuated the radio station. We were at our Operation Stormwatch bunker, all of it.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And then at the very end, it swerved to the right below Tampa Bay and cut across the state. It looks as though the latest advisory as of this recording has in moving farther east, farther southeast. So it's not, you know, Tampa Bay is still in the cone of death, and it could still wobble toward Tampa Bay. And I know that Jim Cantor from the Weather Channel is on Clearwater Beach, and I know all the, you know, the Cantor, you know, stories of, if he's in your neighborhood, you should have left already. But even he's saying it looks as though.
Starting point is 00:06:57 this storm you know he's not at uh storm center now uh because it's dropped down and then we had a scientist talked to us uh on the air after charlie i think or maybe i don't know i was looking at the hurricanes uh from the time i was in tampa bay i was well i was there we covered like eight storms and uh there in 2004 and 2005 they were relentless i mean it was that started with charlie and went down the list there was five five five of them i think in the two-year period there was just like it felt never ending but uh charlie was the first one it was headed right for Tampa Bay and then it swerved below Tampa Bay and there was a guy we had on I don't remember his name I don't know who you know I don't know who he was I wish I did but he believed
Starting point is 00:07:45 that Tampa Bay was not going to get a direct hit anymore because of the shelf and the way that the water landed so when the storm comes up the coast it either veers east because of you know the weather patterns or if it's coming up the coast like that and start cutting across cuba like that it feels the shelf change and drops down uh you know farther south and cuts across below tampa bay so that's what looking that's what it looks like ian's going to do is that is that good news well you know it depends on where it hits it's not good news it's going to be a very powerful storm and do a lot of damage and there's going to be flooding and storms and if you're in an evacuation zone you should probably think twice about not evacuating, you probably should go.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I know in Pinellas County and pretty sure Hillsborough County, they said that they were going to put up mandatory evacuations, but they're not going to force people to leave. However, they made a point of saying, you know, if you stay, we're not coming to save you. And, you know, if the storm, depending on where the storm hits and how much water rises, it could be very, very dangerous. We talked to one lady that was in a hurricane in Texas,
Starting point is 00:09:00 and she ended up sitting on her washer and watching the water continue to rise up above the washer in her home until it finally stopped. I mean, obviously, we talked to her, so she was still a lot. But she said, you know, she would not do that again. She was very, she thought that was it, because the water just continues to rise. That's the storm surge.
Starting point is 00:09:23 One of the guys that I used to work with lived through Andrews, Drew that cut across Florida did all the damage in Florida. And they survived with a mattress over them in the tub. He and his wife and his daughter. And, you know, they thought that was it. It was, you know, the end of time. And many people, you know, didn't survive and or survived like that, fearing for their life.
Starting point is 00:09:46 So if you have an opportunity to evacuate, it's probably a pretty good idea. However, it looks as though this storm, Ian, is dropping, down and going to hit Florida. And I don't want it to dissipate and just go away. Poof. You know, drop some, drop some sand, drop some pebbles in the middle of that storm with the Hurricane Hunter airplane and make that thing dissipate. If we could do that, that would be wonderful.
Starting point is 00:10:12 But it looks as though Tampa Bay will not get the direct hit, although that could change as the advisories continue to come out, but probably not. However, I will say that if it. drops down and cuts across Florida, you know, makes it closer hitting Florida as moving pretty fast. If it cuts across straight across Florida, it means it's going to start heading up. It's probably not going to head directly out into the Atlantic.
Starting point is 00:10:42 It will head up to the coast, which means the Carolinas will have some more damage than they had anticipated from Ian. So it's still a very dangerous storm and everyone needs to be concerned. No question. when you're inside that cone of death. And they also, now they have the double cone of death. You know, they have the main cone of death. And then they have, well, this is what we're predicting after.
Starting point is 00:11:07 You know, if it sticks inside this cone of death, this is what's going to happen after. So just be careful. I don't want anything bad to happen to anyone. But it looks as though that Tampa Bay is not going to have the direct hit, which, you know, that's my... That's the mothership. Tampa Bay, I love it.
Starting point is 00:11:28 And I'm happy that that's not going to happen because we thought it was going to happen with Charlie for sure. That was back in 2004, like I said. So anyway, keep your fingers crossed and pray that, you know, people are not hurt or family members hurt during this storm. It's a very dangerous storm. And if you have the availability and chance to get to safety, do so. And do it now because it's coming. And it ain't going to stop. So do what you got to do, but get out of harm's way.
Starting point is 00:11:59 That's my public service announcement for today. Let's go to the break group. I need something cold to drink. Desperately. So I mentioned last week that Avatar was going to be released back in the theaters this weekend, the original Avatar, of course, so that they brought attention to, you know, the way of water that's coming. And, you know, they want to get over that $3 billion mark.
Starting point is 00:12:28 I don't know if they're going to get over that $3 billion mark, though. for the highest grossing film of all time. It did win the headlines say that it's, wins the global weekend box office. Well, the remastered re-release. And everybody loves the way it looks. Even James Cameron says he was surprised at how good it looks. Were you, James? Were you?
Starting point is 00:12:52 But that's global. All right, it got like 30.5 million performance globally. And so, but it only brought in like 10,000. million domestically so it did not do number one here in here in the states it placed third behind a don't worry darlings 19.2 million and the woman kings 11.1 million and then Avatar and then there were the barbarians and pearls I mean nobody's I mean holy cow don't worry darlings number one at 19 $18.2 million.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Not really that good. But Avatar is now $2,877,897,897, $897,339. So it's number one for, you know, highest grossing film.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Avengers Endgame sits at number two with $2,797,0,5101,328 but it certainly doesn't look like Avatar is going to hit 3 billion. But you never know. You never know.
Starting point is 00:14:05 We'll see. But we're all looking forward to the way of water, aren't we? No. No, I mean, aren't we? Now you don't have to answer. That's fine. I see where James Earl Jones, 91. 91 years old.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Wow, good for James, man. He has now given his blessing for his voice to be digitally recreated to keep Darth Vader alive. Okay. I mean, we've seen the, you know, digitally de-aged characters of Mark Hamill and the book of Boba-Fat and so other digitally recreated via AI. So now we're looking at voices of some of these legacy actors being digitally recreated. So, okay, good. I mean, James, I'm sure it's going to the, you know, James Earl Jones bank account.
Starting point is 00:14:57 sure go ahead you can recreate my voice put the money in this account please even after i die put the money into this account please that would be that would be great i mean james has got so many iconic voice work that it's pretty it would be silly of him not to own what's his right i mean everybody wants to own what's theirs hello so he is giving i'm sure uh i'm sure i'm sure he's He's like, I don't have to work anymore. And they're just going to give me cash for my digitally recreated voice. Okay. So thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat.
Starting point is 00:15:38 I appreciate it. If you're listening to the show right now and you're not a subscriber to the show, please do so. With the show is free. I don't know why you're just listening without being a subscriber. Nobody likes a free loader. It's free. Just become a subscriber.
Starting point is 00:15:54 It's just that simple. Everybody, you know, you get, it's free. All right, everybody likes stuff for free. They just don't like free loaders, so be a subscriber, okay? Thank you. I see where the CIA has started a podcast. Makes me think I probably should subscribe, just so that, I don't know, I'm torn. Do I subscribe so that, you know, I'm okay.
Starting point is 00:16:17 They think I'm all right. I'm listening, or do I, or do if I subscribe, am I back on another list? I don't know. They open a museum. So it's awfulness of the public, of course, but they're going to put some stuff online, and they're hosting a podcast called The Langley Files, and it's hosted by Dee and Walter,
Starting point is 00:16:40 first names only for these CIA employees. The first guest last week, I missed the first episode, darn it, was CIA director William Burns, who explains the thinking behind the media venture. Oh, I bet it was just because they want to open up when they want to be as open as they can and let people realize, let's see what he says.
Starting point is 00:17:00 We do usually operate in the shadows, out of sight, out of mind. But I think it's important to explain ourselves the best we can and to demystify a little bit of what we do. Anyway, so the museum is kind of cool, and it's got some cool stuff in it. There's no doubt about that. It's got the breadbox size replica of the house in Kabul, where the CIA tracked down Bin Laden's successor.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Amon El Zagwari, which is killed in the missile strike. And, you know, they show our president sitting there at the table with the national security team. They're all with their masks on, but he is not. And so it looks like a really kind of a cool place. If you could get in to see it, it'd be kind of cool. It's got the ceiling covered with a variety of white black spy codes. And there's a section in Morris Code. other displays dominoes and code as well as ciphers and it's it's kind of cool although it's never been open to the public you have to you know either be a CIA staff or an official visitor but i guess they're going to put some of the stuff online which would be kind of interesting to see and plus you get the podcast right with uh with what's their faces uh d and walter the langley files so i'm torn i don't know if i should subscribe or i don't know that i want to be
Starting point is 00:18:25 on the CIA list. I'm already on the list. I'll probably subscribe. Oh yeah, did you watch the rocket smash into the asteroid yesterday? It was awesome to see $330 some million worth of NASA equipment smash into a space rock and let them go dark. Wasn't it? I didn't know what to expect. I mean, obviously we talked about it. We knew that the rocket was going to fly straight into the asteroid and that's what you're going to get right the cameras are on the rocket and you're going to get it smashing and it's going to go dark and that's what we got so it was like a little i don't know it's a little expected more we expect more because it's like a Hollywood production but it's not a Hollywood production we didn't have another rocket ship go up with it to
Starting point is 00:19:16 you know have a separate camera watching it smash into the rocket you would hope you'd think maybe that NASA would have had a camera like pop off of it with just pop off poof just before the crash so we'd be able to see it crash. That would just be me. Okay. So when you get, it's traveling at like, I don't know, 14,000 miles an hour or something. So when you get that minute away from the, from the hitting the space rock, you deploy a camera. poof-de-pup and it pops off
Starting point is 00:19:55 and then you turn it toward the space rock so you can watch the rocket smashed into the space rock so it would be like an actual Hollywood
Starting point is 00:20:02 production I was hoping for maybe that I guess but we didn't get that we just got the dart system smashing into
Starting point is 00:20:10 the old demorphus and that was it and everybody was happy and we'll know whether we've knocked it off course in the next couple of months so that's good news
Starting point is 00:20:18 for that and we only spent I don't know 320, 330 million dollars on that, no problem. And so we're going to go. And we're going to go. It was fun. Wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:20:29 Yes, it was. Stop it. You know you watched. Even if you didn't watch it live, you know you looked at it. Boating for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea.

So I see where the NFL has announced that it is replacing the Pro Bowl. Yes, it's going to replace it with the Pro Bowl games, featuring week-long skills competitions and a flag football game. So the new event will replace the full contact showcase, but it hasn't been really a full contact showcase in quite a while.
Starting point is 00:21:43 The players pretty much go really easy on it. But this is going to be, they're going to showcase their football and non-football skills in challenges over several days. The 2023 games will be held in Las Vegas, and a flag football game at Allegiance Stadium is on February 5th. Peyton Manning and his own. Omaha Productions Company will help shape programming and promote the events content throughout the week.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Wow. So that's a big deal. I would not be surprised to see Pat McAvey be a part of that as well. The Pro Bowl is something that they've been looking at for a while, you know, evolving it. They got feedback from the players. Nobody wants to get injured during the Pro Bowl game. It's just it's not worth it to them. They're thankful to be part of the Pro Bowl.
Starting point is 00:22:35 It's not, they don't want to hurt themselves. I mean, there have been players hurt themselves and cost them darn near a career by, you know, playing in the, in the All-Pro game. So, or the Pro Bowl game. And, you know, so, I mean, it's been going on since, like, the 50s. And it's been played all over. It was in L.A. for a long time. And they moved it to Hawaii.
Starting point is 00:22:56 And then they tried to move it to Orlando. It was in Orlando for a while. It was in several different places. was in Miami and Phoenix and Vegas. I thought Orlando had a pretty good idea with it, but, you know, anyway, they, it's been going
Starting point is 00:23:15 for, you know, quite a long time since the early 50s. So anyway, the Pro Bowl is no more, but the Pro Bowl games will be taking place that week. February 5th, the Legion is February 5th, so the Super Bowl is February 12th, so that's the
Starting point is 00:23:32 week between the final playoff game and the Super Bowl. Yeah, so there you go. There you have it. Congratulations. I see where Brett Farr is, you know, he's been taking a beating. We talked a little bit about it, about his deal going on down there. And he's been, you know, scamming some money for the university with the governor.
Starting point is 00:23:56 And, you know, Mississippi has filed suit against them. And so they got the text messages. It's been, it's a strange convoluted. broad that was going on. I don't know that Brett will be charged. I thought he had it all. He's paid the money back, so I'm not sure what all comes of this. But he does a talk show or some sort of sports show on Sirius XM NFL radio.
Starting point is 00:24:22 That's now on hold. It was a Sunday. That's now on hold. Brett, maybe you take a little break from the old radio show. You're in a lot of heat these days. Why don't you just take a little bit of a break? Okay. So, we'll see.
Starting point is 00:24:35 see what happens to Brett, but he's been under fire for the last couple weeks for sure over this fraud case, this welfare scandal. And I thought he'd paid all the money back, but apparently that doesn't matter anymore because we've got
Starting point is 00:24:51 to bring down the hammer on this building of a project for his daughter's college team. So, okay, all right. And for you, NASCAR fans NASCAR today.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Jimmy Johnson has retired. That's what he said. He said he's retiring. Jimmy Johnson's seven-time NASCAR Cup series winner announced he is retiring from full-time participation in motorsports. Now, just two years after he pivoted from NASCAR to IndyCar racing, he's 47 years old now, and he plans to spend more time with his wife and two daughters as he looks to focus on special one-time races.
Starting point is 00:25:34 perhaps he should take some notes maybe Tom Brady needs to take some notes and maybe maybe spent some more time with the wife and the kids is just a thought that's just a thought I mean Jimmy is one of the one of the goats of NASCAR
Starting point is 00:25:50 right I mean he's he's the only driver to win five consecutive championships one of only three to win seven total he's got 83 total victories he ranks in the top seven all times wins.
Starting point is 00:26:06 You know, good for him. Good for him. He's the guy. If you ain't, you're driving. You ain't driving. You're racing. Whatever the line is for NASCAR.
Starting point is 00:26:16 I used to run this show on a sports station that I worked at a thousand years ago. And it was called NASCAR to NASCAR today. And the voice of NASCAR today, man. I don't know if that guy is still alive. I don't know if they digitally remix his voice for their audio. But he carries. his man parts around in a wheelbarrow man, NASCAR today. Love that guy.
Starting point is 00:26:41 And as long as we're talking about sports and competition, we have Fat Bear Week coming up from Catmine National Park. I'm looking forward to it now. They have started the junior bracket, which was revealed yesterday, for those of you listening live, to Chewing the Fat Today is the 27th of September 2022, so they released it on the 26th. And so the 29th and 30th, they square off for the Fat Bear Jr.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Week trying to make it to the full Fat Bear Week competition. Then they have the bracket release on 10-3, October through next week, for those of you listening live. So between October 5th and October 11th, we have the Fat Bear Week matchup. We have to go through it again, and I love Fat Bear Week. And so I might have to talk to, you know, we've talked to some of the camp workers. I don't know that they appreciate me calling them camp workers, you know, the park rangers. And during Fat Bear Week at the Catmai National Park, but a fat bear week is a lot of fun. And, you know, you've had 128 grazer and 32 chunk and 151 Walker.
Starting point is 00:27:57 There's some fat bears, man. And if you can watch them online, they have the, you know, video cameras set up eating their fish and getting fatter as the day grows longer and it actually grows shorter that's why they're going to sleep anyway and so i mean fat bear week is coming up i'm excited of looking forward to fat bear week i will say that uh you know we have cameras set up at catnye park why didn't we have a camera you know just shoot off the rocket ship so we could watch it hit the space rock i'm still bummed that that didn't happen to be honest. I don't mean we spent all that money and it didn't happen. But we do have cameras up at
Starting point is 00:28:36 Cap My National Park so you can watch the bears eat and that's going on right now and you can vote on. Now we'll talk about the we'll talk about the fat bear week matchups and the brackets when that happens the first part of October. But fat bear week is coming and the bears will be a fight in each other. Who is the fattest in 2022? dollars 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. So I see where Edward Snowden gets a Russian passport. Congratulations to Ed. The former U.S. intelligence contractor who leaked files exposing the NSA's surveillance operations was granted
Starting point is 00:29:42 Russian citizenship yesterday. Snowden was for. first granted asylum in Russia in 2013 when he blew the whistle and received permanent residency in 2020. His citizenship announcement led some Russians to joke about whether he could join the military. Yeah, you know, it's possible that Vlad could say, yeah, here's the passport for you. Now you're in the army, bruh. But we'll see. And that's just another way of Vlad slapping down Joe Biden and the Americas. It's a wonderful thing. What is happening with China, too? Okay, so all weekend, I see where Beijing has canceled thousands of domestic flights.
Starting point is 00:30:23 They shut down rail services. They were saying that Jing Ping was in house arrest, and it looked like there was some kind of coup going on, and they didn't know what was happening with the People's Liberation Army. He was under house arrest. I don't know. I don't know. But then I see a story where, you know what, he showed up.
Starting point is 00:30:44 jing ping Tuesday i guess it's jing ping appeared in public i don't want to diminish the leader of china he was at some exhibition with all his people he was out and about he looks a little puffy in the picture that they have here i don't know there might be
Starting point is 00:31:02 is there multiple we've had stories where there were different jingpings around right so we don't know if there's more than one and we're assuming that there is and he was at the exhibition and the exhibition was on the great achievements of the Communist Party of China over the past decade. Man, you don't want to miss that. I guess he spoke at the exhibition.
Starting point is 00:31:24 He called for concerted efforts to forge ahead determinedly toward a new victory of socialism with Chinese characteristics. So, yay, yay. And so I guess there was no coup. And if there was, he ended it. that was the end of it maybe he was under his own house arrest I don't know maybe you know zero COVID policy
Starting point is 00:31:52 maybe he tested positive and just went into hiding for a few days I don't know you can ask him ask him to see what he says okay I see where our great leader former great leader well you could make the case that maybe he still is our leader President Barack Obama was in Los Angeles
Starting point is 00:32:10 to have a little dinner with his daughters I guess, you know, they're in L.A. now. His oldest daughter is pursuing a screenwriting career. Betcha she'll have a few doors open for her. And the younger daughter, Sasha, is studying at the University of Southern California. I hope that, I hope everything was on the up and up for getting into USC. I wouldn't want anything, I wouldn't want to have Operation Varsity Blues blow up in Obama's face,
Starting point is 00:32:39 although that would never happen. Anyway, they ate at a restaurant, called Hamasaku, which features high-end sushi dishes. I would expect nothing less from our former president. The specialty sushi customers can expect to spend $50 for an 8-ounce sushi roll. I'm sure that they ate a little bit more than that. But the big story out of this, Barack, I'm sorry, former president of Barack Obama in L.A. was that his car was parked in a handicapped spot for a couple of hours.
Starting point is 00:33:12 as well he was visiting with his daughters at the restaurant now he can't be look he's got a car he's got a driver what are they supposed to do park somewhere else i think not now you the pictures show the car backed into the uh backed into the handicab spot and it says more than two hours i don't know was it was that true i guess it seems certainly possible rather than they just backed in there and when he was coming out to you know get him in the car and drive him boy i could see that that's I mean if that's not blocking a handicapped spot in my view that's just using it that's using it for a little bit and you back in you know you pick up the man you drive away you're not parked there but according to all reports it was parked there for a couple hours as he uh as he was
Starting point is 00:34:03 eating with his daughter so that's nice of the secret service just a look we're secret service and we can park anywhere we're anywhere we want we don't care oh your handicapped tough park somewhere else. We don't need a handicapped spot. We're the Secret Service. So, I mean, you know, when you get elite care, you get elite care. And by gosh, I wouldn't want Barack Hussein Obama not to get elite care. Would you? Speaking of another elitist, we talked a little bit about it yesterday, but it looks now that my man could potentially face charges in the fatal shooting. that occurred last year on the set of Rust, according to the Santa Fe County District Attorney,
Starting point is 00:34:50 Mary Carmack Altwise. During a New Mexico board finance meeting held a couple week or so ago, she requested emergency funding in excess of $635,000 to continue the investigation into the tragedy that took place in October of 2021, when Baldwin, that's right, I didn't. and say it's fully when. Alec Baldwin,
Starting point is 00:35:16 you know, did pull the trigger and wounded one and killed one. So apparently, they don't even have the final report yet. So, I mean, it's kind of early. And she might not get the funding. And they might just have to shut this thing down, which I'm sure that Alec wants to have happen.
Starting point is 00:35:40 But his lawyer said that, hey, hey, hey, calm down a little bit. Some media reports draw false conclusions based on a letter from the Santa Fe District Attorney. The DA has made clear that she has not received the sheriff's report or made any decisions about who, if anyone, might be charged in this case. And during my communications with the DA's office just a few weeks ago, the funding request was submitted.
Starting point is 00:36:09 I was told that it would be premature to discuss the case because they had not yet reviewed the file or deliberated about their charging decisions. Huh. Isn't that weird? Now, they talk about possibly having four separate cases going on because they're, I mean, they want to try someone. There's no doubt about that.
Starting point is 00:36:32 And, you know, someone needs to pay, right? I mean, hello. They've got, uh, they've got someone discharged a gun. and killed Helena Hutchins and injured the director of Joel Sousa. And it was Alec Baldwin. So they want to charge someone. There's no doubt about it. The reports are that they could be charging one between one and four people with criminal charges.
Starting point is 00:37:02 And each of those charges will probably include some variation of the homicide statute. So we shall see it's still going. but the elitist Mr. Alec Baldwin still under fire even though they had a new baby he's got like a thousand kids now and he's sold the house and he's looking to
Starting point is 00:37:23 liquidate a little bit of cash I wonder why he needs cash just I wonder why I mean maybe he could reach out to Anup the Indian lottery winner he's an auto driver
Starting point is 00:37:39 from the southern state of Corella, he won 250 million rupees, which I guess is about $3.6 million in a state government lottery. He hasn't gotten any money yet, but he said, I wish I hadn't won. Wow, the third prize may have been even better.
Starting point is 00:37:58 So maybe, maybe Alec can reach out and see if he can take the money from him. He said that I'm considering moving. Houses to escape the overwhelming. public attention. They made national headlines when he won the prize, the highest prize ever offered in the state for the lottery. He bought the ticket a day before he was supposed to fly to Malaysia for a job. After breaking open his son's piggy bank, that's the story. After the news broke of his win, the family received a lot of media attention. He was overjoyed. He says that there were people
Starting point is 00:38:31 and cameras at the house and we were happy. But the situation soon got out of control. I can't leave my house. I can't go anywhere. My child is ill and I can't take him to the doctor. Anup will receive the money, I guess, sometimes soon. He said he'll get 150 rupees after government taxes. I can tell you I haven't gotten any money yet. No one seems to understand my problem, no matter how many times I say it. Anup says he and his family have been staying with relatives to escape the attention. So they aren't at the place. There's staying. someplace else. There you go, a noop. I mean, just get out and get a new place, bro. Take a kid to the doctor. Don't worry about it. The state government has said, hey, we'll
Starting point is 00:39:16 arrange a day, uh, day's training program for a noop on financial management to help him use the money well. Isn't that special? That's nice of them to do that for a noop. So, uh, maybe a noob can help out, uh, Mr. Baldwin. Ah, see, thought you'd catch me again. Uh, maybe a noob can help him out. and just give it to him. I don't know. I'm willing to take a little off his hands. You know, a noop. You can just email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
Starting point is 00:39:45 And, you know, we can work something out, okay? I'm sure everybody's begging him for money, and he just wants to go back to the life he had. See, that's the thing. You've got to be prepared to win. You know, everybody wants to win the lottery because it's going to save their life. And, you know, everything is,
Starting point is 00:40:05 wonderful but even if you have a lot of money you still have problems and that's just the way of life now it's really cool we've talked about it a bunch right i mean you're going to you have it's a new set of problems and i don't know that this is generational changing for a noop and his family i certainly hope it is but uh maybe he just says look leave me alone uh hello i know he doesn't want to make people mad of them and he probably has other family members reaching out to help him out and everybody wants a piece of a noop. But one day, you know, he's breaking open his son's piggy bank in hopes to win the lottery,
Starting point is 00:40:48 and he finally does win the lottery, and now he wants to be able to just put the money back in the piggy bank and become the old noop. And that's not the way it works. Sorry to bum you out there, A noop, but that's not the way it works. more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts. Unwrap holiday magic at Holt Renfrew with gifts that say I know you.
