Sure we've had the fishing scandal Sure we've had the chess scandal Sure there was a little voting tweak scandal With fat bear week Sure

We've had those issues But now We have an issue With professional cornhole athletes. I know. So apparently hashtag

Baggate. Now if you're thinking to yourself, wait, there's professional cornhole. Yeah. The American Cornhole League. Don't look at me like that. And they had a national championship in South Carolina

not too long ago. Now, we found out that the duo that won the American Cornhole League National Championship is found to have used illegal bean bags, those bastards. But the good thing was, is that S were their opponents. So I guess it's okay. Wait, yeah, don't worry about it. It's sort of a disgrace, but there's some weight discrepancies in the bags. Let the game continue.

don't worry about it. It wasn't intentional. Wait, it wasn't? No, no. So lighter and thinner bags apparently are easier to get in the hole. And players have found different ways to, you know, skirt around the actual rules of the cornhole association. There's supposed to be resin-filled bags,

six by six inches by six inches and weigh approximately one pound now it says here they're supposed to weigh approximately 16 ounces approximately i mean we got to have better rules than that right put me in charge of the american cornhole league i'll help you out okay no problem so those of you cheating, I mean washing bags and boiling bags and driving over them with your car, trying to gain an advantage. Uh, no, things are going to change as far as the cornhole championships are concerned. So if you have information and you're watching professional cornhole, know that hashtag Baggate is being investigated. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Sometimes a nickel is just a nickel.

And other times, well, it isn't. The Walton 1913 Liberty Head Nickel. It's the ultra-rare coin. It's one of only five like it in the world and has been, you know, for a long time, more valuable than just the five cents that a nickel is worth. In 1913, the liberal. had designed had been retired in favor of the new Buffalo design. No nickels were meant to be printed with the former figure.

Mysteriously, though, a small batch was created. Then, in 1919, a man named Samuel Brown ran an advertisement in a coin collecting magazine. And who doesn't, I mean, I just dive into every coin collecting magazine, offering $500 for each nickel. Now, that alerted the public to their existence for the first time. Then, not long after that, Brown, who was a U.S. Mint employee, announced, oh, yeah, I've got all five nickels. Oh, okay. So now this was according to the American Newsmatic Association,

or the numismatic, numismatic. Numismatic. That's what I said, numismatic. Numismatic. Yeah, I know. That's what I said. So anyway, the numismatic association, research points to him acquiring them during this time at the money printing institution. However, everyone kind of speculates that he had them printed illegally and just ran the ad to raise their value.

That's what the numismatic news thinks. So over the decades, the five precious coins have been sold and changed hands in numerous, numerous times. And for different collectors, now there's been named after the, five collectors who have purchased it, the Norweb, the Eliasburg, the Olson, the Walton, and the McDermott. It was auctioned off in 2013 for more than $3 million and later came into the possession of the Furman family in 2018, who just sold it to great collections this past month for $4.2 million. In a statement, Ron Furman from the Furman family, said our family, thoroughly enjoyed owning the Walton 1913 nickel for the past four years,

and it was very fulfilling for us to have it on display at the American Numismatic Association Money Museum for all to enjoy during this entire period. So fulfilling, in fact, that we sold it for $4.3 million. That's how fulfilling it was. So the auction house, who, purchased another of the five nickels last year, the Eliasburg, they got it in a three-coin deal for $13.35 million. That's the great collections president, Ian Russell, was all excited about that. The 1913 nickel is one of the few coins that transcends into a non-newismatic world, and to handle two

of these in a short period of time, well, it's been a thrill. Like I said, sometimes the is just a nickel. And sometimes, well, it's a whole lot more, isn't it? Did you see where there's a Norwegian man who now identifies as a disabled woman in a wheelchair?

I know! So there's an interview with Good Morning Norway. And, man, do I love Good Morning Norway. I try to catch it as often as I can in the interview. Géront, Victoria Alme. I guess that's his name. 53.

An able-bodied male who now identifies as a disabled woman. In the interview, he's stated that I've always wished I had been born a woman who was paralyzed from the waist down. I mean, that's like George and Seinfeld, who, you know, always, you know, you'd know, always wanted to pretend I was a marine biologist. And I think George pretended to be all kinds of stuff inside Feld. And I think he also pretended to be handicapped at one point. So it's just a TV show for this guy. So he's a credit analyst for Handelsbunton in Oslo.

And he's received positive coverage in the Norwegian media since he first announced his trans disability publicly a couple of years ago. He's given several interviews. often alongside his wife. Now, despite having no physical handicaps, he currently utilizes a wheelchair almost all the time. So in addition to gender dysphoria, Alma claims to have body integrity disorder, BID,

citing dissonance between how he perceives himself and how his body functions. I have struggled with this, day of my life. In fact, his quote is, I have struggled with this every day, my whole life. Have you? Have you? So apparently it's a cognitive dissonance. And the same way that I experience being a woman in a man's body, I experienced that I should have been paralyzed from the waist down. It's not a desire to be a burden on society. It's about the wheelchair being an aid for me to function in everyday life, both privately and at work.

Oh, okay. So, good luck. Good luck. If you are listening to this program right now, anywhere in the world, let's say you're up and you're listening to You and the Fat, you're getting ready to watch a little good morning, Norway. And you are another person who, first from gender dysphoria and also has body integrity disorder.

I would like you to email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com and let me know. And I would love to talk to you to find out how you feel about things, what's happening in your life. I should reach out to Jaron, Victoria Alme, in Norway, or in Oslo, because that's where he works, as a credit analyst for Handelzbunkin. And I would love to talk to him because it's fascinating to me that he has always wished he had been born a woman

who was paralyzed from the waist down. I have wished a lot of things in my life. I really, as I'm sure you have. I mean, the lotto is $1.50 billion. Nobody won. And the grand prize, nobody won the jackpot. So it's up $1.50 billion now, which will be drawn on Saturday, the 5th of November, 2022. And I would be happy to win it.

And it'll be, I think that makes it the third largest of all time at 1.50. Anyway, I would just say that I've wished a lot of things in my life, like winning that lotto. However, I have never, I can honestly say this, and this may shock you. And I know. I know this is going to shock you. At least some of you. I have never wished to be a woman paralyzed from the waist down. I know.

I know. Dry your eyes. All right. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So speaking of this weekend with the Powerball drawing at $1.50 billion, cash payout, $745.9 million. It's also time change weekend.

So we have to fall back. Right. Remember, it's spring ahead, fall back. So at 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, you got to get up. I said Saturday night, and I'm sorry. I'm going to win the lotto, the powerball, Saturday night, and then I'm going to have to stay up longer

because I've got to change my clocks back at 2 a.m. You gotta get up and reset all your clocks to an hour before. Every time there's time change. I'm thinking, I'm trying to think. I only have, I think, two clocks, no, four, four clocks that have to manually change in my house. I have the, oh, I just added another one, five. So we have the coffee maker, we have the oven, we have the microwave. Those don't reset manually.

Those don't reset automatically. They have to be manually changed. And then I have two battery power clocks, one hanging on the wall in the bedroom and one on a window sill in the bathroom that need to be changed manually. And I think that's it. The rest all change automatically.

So I'll probably, in this, you know, I could be, I'm living in the wrong time if I don't do it at 2 a.m. But I'll probably, you know, do it either before 2 a.m. or after. I know. I know.

I'm going to break the rules. So I see it's a big day in the world of Netflix. Today being the third of November, 2022. Netflix is adding its new tier for basic with ads. So the new tier is going to cost $6.99 a month, which makes it $3 cheaper than the current cheapest plan, which is $9.99, the basic plan.

I got to tell you, I don't know why. I know I'm not paying $9.99. I think we talked about this. I think I'm paying like $20 a month for Netflix now, which is pushing the limits of the Fisher household for that. But anyway, because I've got this, you know, I, I'm able to watch it on my multiple screens in the same house at the same time. I'm told that Prime, with my Prime membership, I can watch,

I think it's Prime, I can watch two, I can watch as many, I think up to three screens in the same house, on the same account, but only two of the same thing. So one of them has to be different. I think that's how it works. and Hulu, I think I can have at least two devices streaming Hulu at the same time under this plan. So with the basic ad plan, you're going to have, you'll have access to the 720P video stream versus the 1080 video stream offered by the 1549 standard plan and the 4K plan offered by the 1999 premium plan, which could be accessed from any. internet-connected device.

Additionally, some titles will not be available with the basic with ads subscribers because of licensing restrictions preventing them from being shown with ads. Users on Netflix, Cheapest Plan, will also lose the ability to download shows and movies to their devices for off-load viewing. Netflix says that viewers will get an average of four to five minutes of ads per hour of content. It's not bad. These ads will either be 15 or 30 seconds long

and will play at both the beginning of the shows and films as well as throughout. Okay. No problem. I watch Paramount and I know I'm not a big, you know, ads, I've grown accustomed to watching many things without commercials.

But I'm not opposed to commercials. I get it. They pay the bills. Believe me, I understand the way commercials work. But it's sometimes just frustrating. I watch Paramount. I have a, for some deal through our phone company, and we got Paramount for free with ads. And so I watch some shows on Paramount,

and it's okay. You get used to it. It takes that jar, that first commercial. You're like, oh, crap, it's got commercials. And then, you know, you're moving, you're moving on. And I will say there's some shows on that I record from YouTube TV, which, by the way, if they raise their price again, I may pull the plug on them.

But they, if you go to watch it from the recording, they make you sit through the ads. And I'm not sure what constitutes that. I think if it's how long you wait, like if it's within a 24-hour window, then they make you sit through the ads. I'm not sure what the process is because I don't mind watching some of these shows, but, you know, I do fast forward through the commercials. although I kind of one click through it so that I have an idea of what the commercials are so that there's something that I like, oh, I haven't seen that.

What is that one? I go back and I watch it. So I'm not opposed to commercials. So switching is simple. According to this, users need to sign into their account on a computer or smartphone and then search for plan details under their account settings.

And you'll see the option, change plan. I'm guessing that was probably there before. and you'll be able to select from all four of the streamers plans. So once the ad-supported plan has been selected, the change will kick into effect at the user's next billing date. And speaking of Netflix, I see where they just released their new original comedy, Blockbuster today,

the show about the last remaining branded video rental store. And it feels like that's a little bit personal for the old Netflix, because remember at Blockbuster's Peak, for those of you that don't know, Blockbuster were stores where you rented movies and you got candy and all kinds of stuff, but their basic purpose was for you to go and rent movies to watch at home.

And they were a movie rental channel. Like 9,000 stores, $6 billion in annual revenue. And, you know, late fees, you had to drop them off. They had to get them back on time. It was just amazing. And so in the late 90s, Netflix offered to buy Blockbuster for $50 million.

Or no, Blockbuster passed on a chance to buy Netflix. I got to get the story right. Netflix didn't want to buy Blockbuster. Blockbuster passed on the deal to buy Netflix. Nah, it wasn't a good call. Instead, Blockbuster partnered with Anron.

Do you remember Enron? Yeah, of course you don't, because they're gone. It's the Cricket E Company. to create its own video on-demand platform. In 2001, the chain abandoned the project, thinking the future of the industry would still involve blue-carpeted video rental stores. Uh-uh, wrong.

Bankrupt. As of right now, one store remains in Bend, Oregon. So, we'll see. That sounds like a funny, funny show, though. Ah! And proving that it's never, Well, you're never too old to not get out there and live your dream. Congratulations to Angela Elvarez, a 95-year-old grandmother who just nabbed a Latin Grammy for best new artist.

Now, it's because of her grandson. She's always been a musician. She's 95 now. She's from Louisiana, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. That's where her husband had worked as a mechanical engineer for. for the sugar industry. She was raised in Cuba, and she always played piano early on,

and then took on guitar, started writing her own songs, and her dad was like, yeah, no, you're my only daughter, and you sing for the family, but not for the world. Oh, and she said,

you know, I loved him, and I obeyed him. I didn't insist. So her grandson knew about all these songs and her music and thought, this is we've got to put something together and he said he was on a trip and he's a musician and he was on a trip with a friend

in Spain and the friend said what are you waiting? You're waiting for her to die? Let's do this. Let's knock this out. So he came back and he brought her to L.A. and they started recording and got all the musicians together and they put songs together, put the album together for which she, you know, won the Grammy

for. And she also, they did a documentary about the making of all this and they got a hold of Andy Garcia who loved the idea and he put her in the movie in this new movie that they're doing. He also was a producer

and a narrator of the documentary on Alvarez called Miss Angela and then asked her to be in the movie Father of the Bride remake where she's a character in the movie and she also sings a song and the soundtrack so she got that and so

it's just amazing. She's had what an amazing life and congratulations to her. and for winning the best new artist at the age of 95, for the best Latin Grammy, best new artist nomination, and for, you know, living her life, and finally realizing that she needed to do it her way

and with the help of her grandson. And so she made her music and started to get her music out there and also providing the world with her story. Fantastic. Congratulations.

So who died today? Who died today? We start off with Erica Hoy, 26 years old. Rest in peace.

Erica, victim of a road rage incident in Australia. Her Toyota Prius, of course, her being an actress. And you may know her from the reality of humanity. Joanne Spirit Guide, rib spreader. She was an up-and-coming actress. She was driving in her Prius with her boyfriend and her twin sister. We're also in the vehicle, and then they were run off the road into a truck. And she died, and her twin sister and her boyfriend were,

seriously injured. The family is using her being in the car with her boyfriend and her sister as a point of peace that she was able to be with them when she died. The driver of the other car was deemed mentally unfit to appear in person, was given a bedside hearing at Adelaide's Queen Elizabeth Hospital. She is charged with one count of causing death by danger driving, three counts of causing harm by dangerous driving, leaving the scene of an accident, and two counts of driving without due care. She's also going to face charges for hindering police investigations into the crash by how dare her not answering questions or providing her name and address.

So throw the keys away. Get her off the road. She's dangerous. Erica Hoy, rest in peace at the age of... 26. Also, another, well, not a person, but a thing that died today. My Twitter blue checkmark could have died today at Jeffrey JFR. I know. So Elon, the news is that he's going to cut 50% of their employees over there at Twitter. Any day now. Good. Goodbye. Have a nice day. He'll break more people in once he cleans house.

you would think. And it's being reported that he's going to institute a policy where you're going to have to pay $8 a month for the blue tick charge. So I have to decide whether I'm going to pay $8 for my blue check mark a month or not. And there's an interesting train of thought on that. It's nice that you, you know, it verifies that it's you

doing the tweets. I don't know what you get for it. I mean, okay, so I get a blue check mark. They claim that with the blue check mark you will get priority and replies, mentions, and search,

which is essential to defeat spam and scam, and ability to post long video and audio, half as mentioned. ads and a paywall bypass for publishers willing to work with us and this according to him will also give Twitter a revenue stream to reward content creators okay um there will be a secondary tag below the name for someone who is a public figure which is already the case with politicians now Elon also said that Twitter's current lords and peasants system for who was or doesn't have

blue checkmark is bullshit. I believe that's what the tweet said. But he said power to the people. Well, power to the people. And then you're charging the people. You're charging the peasants to be like the lords. That's what it takes money, Jeff. Okay.

So we could say rest in peace to at Jeffrey JFR's blue checkmark soon, unless I, you know, pay the eight bucks a month. Yesterday, during Who died today, we talked about, rapper takeoff who was shot and killed in Houston outside of bowling alley or inside a bowling alley they were shooting dice and gunshots went off and he was murdered in this in this reckless shooting in Houston. Well, Jackson State football coach Dion Sanders is going to be in Houston to play Texas Southern this weekend and he is not going to allow his players to leave their hotel this weekend. I don't think that's a bad idea. He said family members and friends who want to

the players before Saturday's game can come and visit the team in the hotel. He said, I'm sick and tired of the consistency of people that are influential to you are leaving us consistently. That's our rappers. Oh, okay. Takeoff was murdered in a dice game in Houston where we're going, so that eliminates all you all leaving the hotel

because it ain't happening until I give you further notice. So you players that were planning on going out to the bowling alley before your football game on Saturday and shoot dice until 3 a.m. in the morning. That's not happening, okay? And yesterday, a Parkland school shooter,

Nicholas Cruz, was sentenced to life without parole for the massacre that killed 17 children and staff members. Remember, they took away the death penalty before the sentence was the sentencing, life without parole, of course, so he is in jail forever.

I saw where the sister of one of the people that were murdered, was murdered by Mr. Cruz, I call him Mr. Cruz, reluctantly, spoke at the sentencing trial. She said, I hope your fellow inmates take real nice and cozy care of you. It's not funny at all. It's sad. She's trying to get through it.

She doesn't want to think about him. She said, I don't want to, I'm not going to think about you anymore after this. I hope that's true. I hope that she can get past it. I don't know that that's possible. But I definitely do tend to agree with the hope that fellow inmates take real nice and cozy care of you. I know during the one of those sentencing, During the trial, the judge flipped out on the defense.

I guess they were laughing, and there's a picture of one of them what appears to be that she's flipping the bird. She's got her hand up against her face with her middle finger up, looking like, you know, you know how you do when somebody walks by and you put your finger up because you want them to know that you're giving them the finger, but you're not sticking it out in front of you, and it's supposed to be kind of funny, but this does not look funny at all. and it's in a court of law.

We're at the sentencing of Nicholas Cruz. These people, plus people are there who had family members murdered by this man and they're speaking, getting some of the sadness off their heart in court and wanting the judge to know how what a terrible person he is and how it affected their lives.

Like she said, she wants the inmates to take real nice and cozy care of you. And so let's, we can at least if we're going to pray at all for Nicholas Cruz to have redemption and move on past killing 17 people at Parkland High School, perhaps we can pray that the fellow inmates do take real nice and cozy care of Nicholas Cruz.

So I see where Giselle and Tom are completely done now. According to reports, they had, you know, an ironclad pre-up. Of course, you know, I mean, they both have assets from their life, their world.

Apparently, Tom is worth about 300-something million, and Giselle is worth well over 400 million. So she doesn't need Tom, but Tom don't need her. Okay. Well, I saw another story that talked about that she was, she bought this house down in Florida in February. So, you know, they're trying to say, She knew she was going to leave Tom because she bought this place.

And I mean, it must be a place for the help. Because I'm looking at the properties that Tom and Giselle have. So apparently, Giselle's going to retain the home in Costa Rica. She loves that place. That's where she went with the kids. That's where, you know, she loves going back to Costa Rica. She loves her place on the Niquay at the Peninsula in Costa Rica. I don't blame her.

So then they have a home in the Bahamas, another at the Yellowstone Club. in Montana and a New York City apartment where she's been staying since the split. Now, you would think that she would be staying in this house that they say she bought in Florida in February, but she's staying at her place in New York, okay? Now, I find it difficult to believe that this house she purchased to live in. But we'll see. All right. And even in the story, they say,

relatively modest cottage-style house. Yeah, the neighborhood of Surfside, $1.25 million, which seems like an awful lot of money for this place, but, okay, you know, prices are through the roof these days. But this is definitely not a houses of the hoity-to-to-dy. Okay. It looks like, I mean, it's a nice place.

It's a nice place for the help, maybe. You know, it's described as a charming art deco-style cottage. 1890 square feet come on now she doeselle can't live in 1800 not 1800 feet sorry no it's got a three bedroom two and a half bath residence captures natural light showcases a curated interior chic finishes

impact glass throughout and the two and a half bath is fine the three bedrooms got to be small bedrooms for 1800 square feet I'm sorry and I'm looking at the yard. I guess it's kind of private, but I mean, it's a family neighborhood. 1890 square feet.

That's for the hell. Giselle's not staying here. I question that she actually bought this place, but that's what the story said. So maybe it's just a part of the real estate portfolio thinking that it was going to be a bigger fight than it was going to be or than it was.

When she broke up with Tom, maybe she needed a place to run and hide with the kids. I don't know. But there's no way that Dazelle is staying at this 1.25,01890 square feet house in Surfside, this art deco home. No way. This might be a place for her to go and hide away for a weekend and nobody knows she's there. Maybe, maybe. But I doubt it.

All right, we've got some headlines to help you get through the day here a little bit. Amazon is expanding its library of ad-free music and podcast for Prime members. Good. It's nice to know. The world's biggest iPhone plant has been locked down. China has imposed a seven-day lockdown on the Jingzhou area that houses the largest iPhone assembly factory run by Foxconn as part of the country's zero COVID policy. Quarantine practices at the manufacturing facility already had workers fleeing.

Yeah, we heard stories about people trying to run away and get out of there. And the new restrictions could hinder Apple's ability to be demand for the iPhone 14. Oh, no. We cannot have that. We do not want that. That won't stand. Apple needs to get over there and say, hey, what's going on? And Shanghai Disney closed as well to comply with the COVID prevention policies, leaving park visitors trapped inside.

Rides is still running. running until they could produce negative COVID tests. Hi, welcome to China. Glad you came. Me too. Look for a new promotions from TMRW Sports to sports startup from a Tiger Woods

and Rory McElroy. They received an investment from a group of super athletes, including Serena Williams, Alex Morgan, Lewis Hamilton, and Steph Curry. So they're dumping a lot of money into the old TMRW sports. So be prepared for that to take off. Speaking of sports, too, the World Series is still ongoing.

It looked like Philadelphia was going to run the table and win in Philadelphia. Not run the table. They had lost the first game, but they had won the last two. So they were up two to one. And then the last next two games were in Philadelphia. Looks like they were going to win in Philly. But then they lost last night. Oh, man, tough.

they faced a shutout, which is the Astros through the first combined no hitter in Major League postseason history. I mean, all their pitchers pitched a shutout. Incredible. Houston won five to nothing over Philadelphia. So it's two wins and two wins a piece for Houston and Philadelphia.

So it's going to go back to Houston. They have one more game in Philadelphia. Then it'll go back to Houston. So it's possible that Philly could still win obviously, but you know, they would win in Philadelphia. So, we'll see. We'll see. It looks, I thought

it looked like they were going to run away with it after they won 7-0-0 the other night, but then they lost 5-0-0. So these teams are battling it out. In the World Series, good for them. And it looks like the Washington Commanders owners, Dan and Tanya Snyder, are looking for to sell

the NFL franchise. It's valued at $5.6 billion. Now, I don't know if they're going to the whole thing or just sell a piece of it. They're looking at selling a piece of it, maybe a percentage of it and take a few billion and get out of the picture. There's all kinds of, there's lawsuits coming down. There's the investigation of the team's workplace.

He's been in trouble for his general lack of respect toward women. The owners, there's been gossip that they were going to kick him to the curb. He's owned the team since 1990. They like to always remind everyone that he never wanted to change the name from the Washington Redskins. How dare him? Yeah. And you know what? Most people didn't want to change the name to the Washington commanders.

They didn't want to go away from the Redskins. And it wasn't the commanders to begin with. It was the Washington football team. And I will say, just a side note to the NFL and all you Washington Redskin haters that most of the fans that show up at the game, are still wearing their red skins merchandise. They didn't rush to the stores to buy new Washington commander stuff because it's still the Washington Redskins.

Okay? All right, good. But keep an eye on that battle. And they're looking like it might happen with the first black NFL owner to be a part or a sole or partial owner of a football team, a football franchise on this Washington Commanders team. I think it was Byron Allen. Yes, it was

Byron Allen, who they claim is preparing a bid to buy the commanders. They're saying that he's preparing a bid for $5.6 billion. Holy cow. I mean, it was $4.65 billion for the Broncos. So are they going to, I mean,

is Snyder going to turn down $5.6 billion for the commanders? I don't think the NFL would allow that to happen. And to have an African-American be the owner of a football team, hello. This deal will happen. If he could get the bid together with the right investors, he's the guy. And I don't know if you know this, but we're still at war.
