With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. So I guess COVID-19 is still a thing. Now, of course, it's still a thing.

But it really isn't a big deal anymore. at least here in the United States of America, at least I don't feel like it is, we've decided as a general rule of thumb in the public eye that yes, it exists, we are not going to be scared by it and we're going to live our lives. At least many of us are.

I mean, I just went to a doctor's appointment where the sign said masks required. No one was wearing a mask. I take that back. There were a couple people that had masks on. they used to provide them they didn't have a box of masks at the front counter so i'm like i'm not putting one on then and that a word was said it's really strange uh that they still had to sign up and they but they did not make a deal about it at all where they used to they used to say yeah you got to wear a mask

now they have the sign up but it's like no we're not going to say anything so if you're not going to wear one we're not going to say anything yeah no kidding and then i see a story that talks about China, rushing to control the new wave of COVID, well, they have like 427 new symptomatic COVID cases. And with their, you know, zero COVID policy, that pretty much shut down the domestic product. You know, I mean, they just shut everything down. Are we still, you know, still going through huge waves of numbers? And I go to, you know, the world. meters info on, you know, COVID cases.

And I see the U.S. obviously is still number one with 98,572,11 cases of COVID-19. It doesn't have any listing under new cases. And, of course, sadly, we've lost over a million lives. But the surging country is Taiwan. They have like 41,000 new cases. And then I wonder, well, where's China on the list? It's got to be way down because for a while they didn't even admit that they had COVID-19 in their country at all. So they claim to have 254,06 total cases of COVID-19.

That's 108 on the list of countries. They have, again, 491 new cases. The story that I told you earlier said 427. This is 491. So I guess it is surging in China. And then I thought, well, who's at the bottom of the list? I mean, who has, who's the far away country that has COVID, but you wouldn't think about it. Now, they have listed in this list.

The last on the list at 230 is the MS. Zyandem, which is a cruise ship. Well, I guess we're ranking cruise ships. Yeah, because Diamond Princess is 225 on the list with 712 total cases. But the Western Sahara has 10 cases and one death. And then Tuvalu has 20 total cases. And you think to yourself, wait, Tuvalu? Yeah, it's islands in the Pacific. That's beautiful.

If you look at the globe, Tuvalu is islands in the Pacific. It's a beautiful place. It's in the South Pacific. It's an independent island nation, within the British Commonwealth. Nine islands comprise smally, thinly populated atolls and reef islands with palm-fringed beaches

and WW2 sites. Okay, so there you go. You want to have some fun and go somewhere where there's very little COVID, you can go to Tuvalu. But until then, you can just, I don't know, live your life. Welcome!

Welcome to Chewing the Fat. I've been telling you all week about Fat Bear Week, and we've been following the votes on Fat Bear Week, and we're at the finals now with 747 and 901 going down for the champion of Fat Bear Week 2022. So I see where Fat Bear Week is now rocked by cheating claims. Wait, what? Yeah. You know, you go to their website and you vote. and apparently there were 7,000 fake votes. 747 was dubbed the winner in the semifinal brackets,

and they said that they found more than 7,000 fake votes for his rival, Holly. And so bear 747 was one, has been, I mean, a dominant bear at Cadmai National Park. He won the competition in 2020, and he's going to go on to the finals. but now we're saying that there was a cheating scandal in Fat Bear Week. Is there nothing sacred? Is there nothing sacred anymore? Now, Catmine National Park said that, hey, hey, we can tell. We can tell that we have an issue with the way the votes are.

And so we said, no, no, no, no, no, no. That is not going to happen. Okay? They said it appears someone has decided to spam the Fat Bear Week poll. Fortunately, it's easy for us to tell which votes are fraudulent. So we have discarded the fake votes. And today's official score totals are. And the winner goes to 747 with 37,940 votes up against 435 with 30,430.

So we're in the finals now. There's nothing sacred. anymore. We're cheating at Fat Bear Week. Sad, sad, sad. I did vote for 747 this morning and 747 does have the lead. So keep your fingers crossed for 747 to be crowned the victorious, fattest bear at Catmine National Park in the Fat Bear Week contest. So we are at a point now when we are being made to believe that polyamorous union, are okay and you know i guess i mean if you want to be in one go ahead uh that's fine i saw a story where uh new york city there's a civil court judge that said uh yeah the uh the relationship is fine they had there was three people just three in this polyamorous relationship and they

the judge said that they were entitled to the same sort of legal protection given to two-person relationships. And this guy was saying that one of the three had died and couldn't, they could, the others couldn't re-up the lease. It was, you know, that's what the, that's what it was all about. And so, you know, it's fine. Any polyamorous relationships should be entitled to the same legal protections given to two-person relationships.

Okay. We'll see if that holds up, but it certainly is being held up in New York City and civil court for sure. And I mean, they're laying the groundwork for it. And then I see a story about Tamika Wilder. Now, she's a sexologist. And she lives in Australia. And she's a fact, according to this story, she is a leading Australian sexologist. So, I mean, it says so the story. And she has a parent kind of podcast. So I'm sure it's great. And she talks about her work as a sex coach helps moms who want to reconnect their sensuality, joy and pleasure. And she told the host Maggie Kelly about what some might view as an unconventional living situation.

Really, what would that be? Well, I live with my boyfriend, my husband, and my kids. Boy, you want to talk about a nightmare house. So she claims, look, when I met the father of my two kids, I told him, I want to be with you, but it won't be just you. Okay? So I already laid that groundwork early on. I had polyamorous or open relating values, and that's what I believed in right away. That's something that is non-negotiable.

all right so that's the way it goes so after she had two sons she uh you know they were together and then she went away to some festival and met this guy who is now the boyfriend and she came home and said i'm not willing to not see this person again so you know that's the way it goes and look i didn't move him right in right away i had him stop by and get to know the kids and get to know the dad and then we went out together and separately and now he's just living with us so it's the way it is it's a great relationship we all get along and hug and it's just wonderful so i love having my my boyfriend here my husband here and my kids so it's a beautiful life you know that sounds good on the surface well i mean really does it but uh wow what

a nightmare home that must be now you know we joke around people who have you know multiple wives and she's got you know multiple husbands and while it isn't illegal because right she's not having multiple husbands she has a husband and then she has a boyfriend so that's what i don't understand about the the big deal about multiple wives one is the wife or none of the wives and then they all just consider themselves wives but they don't technically get married so that's not ill illegal right i mean you can have as many girlfriends or as many boyfriends as you want i i understand i don't understand it so anyway just be ready that it's it's all okay it's all okay no matter how many partners you have no many how many partners are living there as long as it's okay and you are all up front

about your unconventional living situation it's all good okay yeah you know it is you know it is Let's go to the break room. I need a break desperately. Man, you want to talk about, I mean, there's all kinds of jokes that you can make about multiple wives and multiple husbands. And, you know, you have a wife or a husband and a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Wow. I mean, you get into, you know, I guess it's better not to deceive, right? She laid the groundwork right from the beginning so that we're open about the whole thing.

instead of trying to deceive each other through your relationships. So, all right, go ahead. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So I see where my man, Senator Ted Cruz, from the great state of Texas, is taking his podcast verdict with Ted Cruz to eye-heart. radio or iHeart uh he is changing co-host though the original host was michael knells and michael

nels has been doing the podcast since the very beginning and so they announced on friday that uh yeah ted received an offer to move the show from uh independent production to i heart media and where they're going to have you know more resources and staffing could be provided to turn the show into a terrestrial radio broadcast. And so, you know, it's obviously, I mean, it's a huge audience anyway with the podcast. Well, I guess he wants to, you know, they want to make the deal. I don't know how much I heart offered Ted to do this. I'm sure it was a pretty penny.

So they're going to dump a bunch of money into marketing. And so the only thing is, is that Michael Nulls can't be a part of it. Right? He works for the Daily Wire. And he also does, they have. other production that they have with not Comcast. Yeah, I guess it is. Westwood won.

And so I know they produce stuff with them as well. So he's out. And they're moving, I guess, Ben Ferguson, who does a podcast through IHeart. And I know he does fill in work for some other of the bigger radio shows around the country. And he's going to co-host the, the Ted Cruz verdict. So I guess that moves to three times a week.

Ted doesn't have enough to do. He's going to worry about the podcast business and the radio business. And he also does another show with Liz Wheeler called The Cloak Room. I don't know what happens with that podcast. Is that done for now? Is that all the rest of the podcast all shut down? Because he's going to work with Ben Ferguson on verdict. And that's just going to be through I-Heart.

We'll see it. We sell she. Kind of weird, though. Kind of weird. It's weird that the senator is working that deal and still, you know, being taken care of Senate business. I don't know. Just seems kind of strange. And it seems kind of strange that he, you know, dicks Michael Knowles.

I know that it's all about money and production and putting the thing together, but it seems kind of weird that, I mean, he's been with Michael all this time and then he just kicks him to the curb. Huh. Okay. All right, I guess we're all just one big happy family then, huh? All right. Well, good luck. Speaking to being one big happy family, I see where Larry King's widow,

Sean King, is suing the son for $100 million. She's saying that, yeah, you owe me a bunch of money, you stole a bunch of money from me, and your little amendment that was filed two months after Larry King filed for divorce but was never finalized. It doesn't really count because they gave her the boot as far as being the special administrator to the estate with this handwritten amendment. We were still married, even though we were going through the process of divorcing. So you owe me like 100 million, at least.

And I'm suing all of you for it. I want it all. Okay. All right. No problem. We'll see how that goes. I mean, there is definitely blood in the water for that. deal. And then I see where Anne Hache's family is in a big fight for whatever money she had. She had,

you know, a few million. I don't know how much Anne was worth. She had to be worth at least, you know, five or ten million dollars, maybe more. And she had a 13-year-old son and a 20-year-old son. And so the 20-year-old obviously is, you know, an adult or close to it and out on his own. But he was the son of Hach's ex-husband, Coleman, LaFoon. And the younger one is the son of James Tupper, who now James Tupper says, yeah, you know, I'll take the kid. And Homer, the 20-year-old, says, yeah, well, he ought to be with me. And now they're fighting over who actually wants to be the gatekeeper to the money.

And we'll see what happens. Now, they claim that there's an email from Anne saying that she wanted to, to, you know, she wanted to have tougher be the administrator and take care of the kids. Okay. And they're saying, no, it doesn't count. Do that will is not legal. It's not a valid one. So the whole thing is up going into court.

So they're going to be fighting over that. And who gets to watch over the 13-year-old and have access to the money. So it should be fun. I mean, it's not really fun. These are just families ripped apart after someone died and was the spark and the light of the family and they die. And then everything is thrown into a turmoil and we're just going to fight over the money. It's really kind of sad. But, you know, it's fun for me to watch.

Like watching Don Lemon say goodbye the other night on his finale of his primetime program. You know, I don't, and I'm glad he didn't get fired. He's got a new, I don't want anybody to get fired. ever and he's going and it was his choice to move to the anchoring or co-anchoring of the morning show uh-huh but uh his final nighttime show he said that i was not always perfect no kidding duh and uh he concluded and i could play the audio but i just i don't i don't think i could make it all the way through again um sometimes it was exhausting because some of the things that we discuss here are so personal and so consuming, all-consuming. So I hope I made you proud. Well,

you were wrong on that count for me. And I thank you for tuning in all these years. Yeah, I didn't. We only look for the clips. And I hope that you're going to join me in the morning. Ooh, yeah, no, nothing I want more is to listen to Don Lemon and Poppy Harlow and Caitlin Collins on CNN's morning show. Ugh. That just rings to me awful. But, you know, whatever, that's fine. Good for him. But then he turned around and he goes, I'm going to leave. And I'm going to leave now. And then he kept walking and he walked up the back stairs on his set. Now, I'm just going to say that he said, I'm going to leave.

And I'm going to go upstairs. And he just did that. He turned away. The camera was still on. The show wasn't over. And he trudges over to the stairs and bangs his way up the stairs and says, bye. And he sniffles inside. and, you know, that was the end of the show.

I would venture to say that those stairs aren't real. I mean, the stairs absolutely are real. They just don't lead to a door that takes you out of that studio. So it would have been fun to be there and watch him trudge back down the stairway thinking, how'd you go? Did it go over well? You think everybody, you think it went over well? Yeah, I don't think it did, Don.

I don't think it did. You know, I remember when you, you know, tried to get. the National Hurricane Center to join you on climate change. Yeah, that one didn't work either. Yeah, I remember when you have the lady out about the Queen dying and how the royals should give reparations to descendants of the African slave trade, which the British commentator said, yeah, no, that should not happen. So you were wrong.

So if we can look forward to that in the CNN Morning Show with Poppy and Caitlin, Well, you know, I might tune in. Probably not, though. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

Did you know that around 15 million colonoscopies are performed in the U.S. every year? Now, it's, you know, said that it's part of a standard preventative care for adults over 45. However, a new study has called into question whether, you know, all that footage is really necessary. I mean, if you've had a colonoscopy, you know what to expect. Now, they don't let you watch anymore.

And I had one, one time prior to a surgery, I think it was my first knee replacement surgery, I got to watch. And it was really cool. You had to see inside of you. You know, I loved it. Then I had another one for another surgery, and they wouldn't let me watch. And I was very disappointed. However, they're saying that over a 10-year period, people who have,

had the screenings were 18% less likely to develop colon cancer than people who didn't. Okay, that's according to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine. I love studies from the New England Journal of Medicine. However, the risk of death from cancer for both the screened and unscreened was about the same. You know, around 0.3%. So I guess, you know, maybe the colonoscopy had. has something to do with, you know, telling cancer, hey, we're seeing if you're here so it doesn't show up. But for the most part, if you get cancer, then it doesn't matter. So, you know, maybe it

helps a little, just so, you know. I see where we have a new study on Alzheimer's with genetic changes caused by Alzheimer's and different types of brain cells for the first time. We see the changes. And so the results show many changes occur in the cell types other than neurons. So, I mean, we're looking into that. We have a new Alzheimer's drug, which slowed cognitive decline in patients with early Alzheimer's by 27 percent over 18 months in a final phase trial. That's awesome. The rate of decline met the study's targets and offers hope to, you know, six million people in the U.S. with Alzheimer's. Yeah, well, we have millions of people. people with Alzheimer's, but this is early Alzheimer's, right?

There's, I mean, I don't know how many millions have, you know, onset dementia, but if you can slow it down or delay it, great. So, you know, it's only, it'll only be worth billions of dollars. The Likane-N-A-N-A-M-A-M-A-M-A-M-A-B. That's the Alzheimer's drug. Le-C-A-M-M-A-B, L-C-A-M-B. L-E-C-A-N-E-M-A-B will fail fair better than

their previous Alzheimer's drug Adelham, which was a total flop. Well, yeah, it didn't work, right? It was flat, I mean, it got to work. Hello? And I don't know that it was a flop anyway. I think it was just way too expensive, right? It was, I don't know,

I feel like it was $30,000 or $40,000 a year. You know, I don't want Alzheimer's, but, I mean, and I don't want you to have Alzheimer's, but it's kind of an expensive deal. So anyway, we'll see if, you know, the new, the new drug, the, what did I call it? What's there? What is the name of the Likinamab? L-E-C-A-M-A-B.

L-E-C-A-B. And no, not a morpho-falas. Lecanamab. Yeah, that's what I said, Lecanamab. Exactly. Thank you very much. And we have new studies about eating. We saw, I think we talked about it at one point where vegetarians are twice as likely to be depressed than meat eaters.

I mean, do we even need to go into that study? It's published by the Journal of Effective Disorders, which I mean, who doesn't read every study published by the Journal of Effective Disorders. They found that beef was the only food linked to a lower risk of depression. Yeah. Oh, man, give me that steak. I'm happy. Okay. So they asked 14,216 people in Brazil between the ages of 35 and 74 if they followed a meatless diet and interviewed participants to identify their episodes of depression. When looking at the association between plant-based diets and mental illness, I'm sorry, mental wellness, scientists took into consideration other variables, including socioeconomic, parameters, smoking, alcohol habits, levels of physical activity, self-assured health status, body mass index, nutrition during the six months prior. Okay. So they found that meatless diets actually led to people experiencing depressive episodes twice as often as those who eat beef.

So there you go. Nutriot deficiencies do not explain this association. I think maybe it does. You know, nutrients-founded beef, iron, vitamin B, zinc, protein, they all are valuable in preventing depressive episodes. So there you go. Stick with meat. And then I see a new study from, well, it's a new research, okay,

that suggests there may be an ideal window of time to eat during the day. All right. So what's big now is the intermittent, fasting, right? We've talked about that. Well, that really isn't this. This is saying that eating relatively early may be beneficial for weight loss and keeping meals within a 10-hour period could improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels. This is according to two small studies published in the journal cell metabolism. Man, I have so many journals that I need to read. And I just, you know, the journal cell metabolism hasn't arrived yet.

The first study found that eating on a later schedule made people hungrier over a 24-hour period and when they consumed the same meals earlier in the day than when they consumed the same meals early in the day. Now, late eating also led the study participants to burn calories at a slower rate, and their fat tissues seem to store more calories on a later eating schedule than an early one. So overall, the study suggests that eating later can increase a person, obesity risk. The second study done among a group of firefighters found that consuming meals within a 10-hour window shrunk bad cholesterol particles suggesting a potential reduction in risk factors for heart disease, and that eating window also improved blood pressure, blood sugar levels,

and against among the firefighters with underlying health conditions, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. They claim that your body processes calories differently when you eat late in the day. And so they say that you need to eat earlier in the day within that 10-hour window. So they say from 8 or 9 a.m. to 6 or 7 p.m. And that is the early window. Not if you eat later. It also has your body asking for different types of foods if you are a late eater.

They also talked about eating. in that first hour, which is kind of, I mean, we've believed in that for a while, right, where you get up and you want to have something and get your body already working to burn calories and working for you early on. So you need to eat within that first hour. And that's just, you know, nutrition going with the new research of when to eat, inside the window. Look, we're all different. We all need to process things different. to stay healthy for ourselves, right? That's what's important.

That's one of the things that, you know, my son does for Better You Performance. So all that to tell you about Elvis. Better You Performance.com. Go there. He's got the app. He'll help you get through it. He'll talk you through for eating and exercise

So if you're listening live, today is the 11th of October 2022. Thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat, whether it's live or on mammaracts. But my point of giving you the date today is that we missed wishing happy birthday to Vladimir Putin of Russia. the 7th of October was his birthday. And, you know, we should have at least, you know, had a piece of cake or ice cream or something. To wish Vlad, you know, happy birthday turned 70 this year. It's a big day.

A big day this year for Vlad. And I see where Stephen Segal had sent a birthday message to Vlad. And wow, is it good? And he looks great. I realize today's a very important today. Today is President Putin. Today is a very important today, so he needed to cut that again,

but anyway, that's just me. I realize today's a very important today. Today is President Putin's birthday. And I just think that we are now living in very, very trying times. Yeah. He is one of the greatest world leaders. I'm one of the greatest presidents in the world. And I'm really hoping and praying that he,

gets the support and the love and the respect that he needs and that all the tribulations that are going on now will be over soon and we will be living in a world of peace. That would be nice, wouldn't it? That would be nice to be living in a world of peace. Well, we found out today that the president of Ukraine, Zelensky, rules out talks with Vladimir Putin and urges G7 nations to impose a tough price

cap on Russian oil and gas exports. So apparently he doesn't want peace. He wants the war to continue. He asked earlier for us to have a preemptive strike against Russia. So even Stephen Segal

who wants peace won't get it with Zelensky in charge. or maybe even with Joe Biden in charge. I don't know. You know, anyway, happy birthday to Vlad, and I hope that we reach peace soon.

That'd be great if someone actually would sit down and talk a little bit of peace. Wouldn't it? Yes, it would. We wouldn't have to worry about the fresh air alerts across Ukraine now after, you know, massive Russian bombardment. You know, and that's another thing. I keep thinking, you know, we're mad at Vlad for blowing up Ukraine and we're pissed that he's, you know, blown, oh my gosh, he's blown up where civilians are.

I thought that's what war is supposed to be. You know, maybe I'm fighting an old-school war, but I got it. I got it. All lives are sacred. And gosh darned, today we're able to zero in and he could bomb things that, you know, aren't where people. are but and why was he want to bomb Ukraine all the hell and then take over the country doesn't make a lot of

sense really but the point is that if you're at war is there I guess you know I'm supposed to worry about what I'm bombing during that war okay all right fine you got me

no problem we're still worried about Vlad using the killer dolphins and he was using the killer dolphins, I mean, they didn't work well because the Crimea Bridge got blown up. I don't know maybe the dolphins were swimming around there, but I guess not. I guess not. We did have some hacking going on here in the United States of the airports, 14 U.S. airports, including Atlanta's Hartfield, Jackson, Los Angeles, LAX, briefly offline. Their websites, their specific airport websites offline. Thanks to the Russian Harts,

hacker group, KillNet. Apparently it didn't disrupt any passenger travel. We do enough of that on our own. We don't need KillNet to do that. And so I guess there was just minimal disruption from the denial of service attack, which was, you know, their airport websites. All right. And I guess they've been doing this throughout the invasion.

And especially the cyber attacks came in parallel to, you know, Russian shelling the Ukrainian cities this weekend over the bridge bombing. So we'll see. I guess during the big shelling that was going on, they say 11 people were killed, 60 injured, okay, you know, I'm very, very sorry that this is happening. I am. I don't want it to happen here. I don't want it to happen anywhere.

Here, near, there, whatever. You know, I don't want bombing. in a can you know just write your own Dr. Seuss book about how you don't want bombing however

you know that's what war is so maybe we should be thinking about peace just a little bit more all I can think about now is writing a green eggs and ham bombing book

for the Ukraine Russian war I don't like bombing in Ukraine. I don't like bombing anywhere. I don't like bombing Sam I am. I don't

like bombing. Write it yourself. Email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Write me a green eggs and ham. I don't want bombing. Sam I am. And we'll read some of the best ones on air. Okay. Chewing the fat

at the blaze.com. So I see where Iran, the oil workers went on strike, joining the ongoing mass anti-government protests across the country over morality laws and the death of a 22-year-old Masa Amin. We need to be behind these people 100%. I have no idea why we are not. It feels like we're not, though. It just feels like we're not, and we should be behind this.

Now is the time more than ever and get Iran back on our day. side and that needs to happen right away. I see where one of the largest rail unions in the country rejected the Biden administration brokered deal with the railways. So just when you thought, ah, we're fine. We're back to business. And goods are going to start moving. They're not going to shut down. Well, yeah, they very well could shut down. So a vote drew the record turnout, nearly 12,000 members of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees. Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Okay, those are the members of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the BMWED,

casted a ballot, rejecting the deal, 56% opposed, according to the BMWED press release. The Biden-sponsored deal had 24% raises, $5,000 annual bonuses, attendance policy exemptions, medical purposes, but the BMWED president, Tony Cardwell, said that workers were still concerned about working conditions and sick leave. I mean, they just want it all. So I'm starting, I want to be on the, I mean, no one supports trains more than this show. Life in the Train Age. Tewing the Fat.

I am a fan of the rails and the rail systems and the rail workers. But they are, you know, they claim that the members, you know, now we're getting off their direction of their employers and mismanagement and greed in which they have hello, yeah, I mean that's across the entire rail network. So I know that the world is disappointed

and we'll see what happens if they can get this deal back on the table but if they end up striking next month I couldn't, I mean we're talking about now shutting down the rail system again. Wow, this administration has done wonders for this country.

And it just, it makes me still proud to be an American. How about you? Hey, who died today? Who died today? As long as we're happy about being Americans, let's be happy together and talk about a pioneering radio DJ.

Art Leboe, dead. I know he's sad. He passed away. He was 97. He, um, He was credited with helping end segregation in Southern California. You know, he had an 80-decade broadcast career. I mean, an eight-decade.

He didn't have 80s. Jesus, you know, 800 years old. No, an eight-decade broadcast career. Incredible. He died in Palm Springs, California, after catching pneumonia. Very sad. That was his production company, DART Entertainment, who made the announcement. He did a final show that was produced last week at broadcast on Sunday night.

Still working, still doing shows. Awesome. You know, he did big drive-in eatery shows with white, black, and Latino listeners who danced to rock and roll and shocked the older generation. Those damned big band likers. And he's credited with coining the phrase

oldies but goodies. So, okay. Hey, I guess he started the original sound record in 1958 and released the compilation album, All These But Goodies, Volume 1. So, Seid on Billboard's top 100 chart for 183 weeks. Love it. All right, so anyway, very sad.

He hosted a syndicated show, the Art Labo Connection show. And they loved his dedications for the 50s era rock and roll, you know, love ballad. a rhythm and blues tune. And so they, you know, anyway, it's wonderful. He was a great DJ.

80 years for the guy on radio. That's awesome. And he was still working. And, I mean, you got to give it to the guy. He came up. He's the guy that came up with oldies but goodies. That's awesome. So,

very sad to say that radio DJ, Art Leboe Dead At 97 Rest in peace Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content
