Starting point is 00:00:32 And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So in the last couple of weeks, custom and border patrol officers have seized, I don't know, $24 million, over $24 million in meth at the Texas entry point. I mean, it was, it's been a huge drug bust. One was for $18.6 million worth of meth, 2,33 pounds of meth. One was for $5.8 million in meth, 655.655 pounds of alleged methamphetamine were busted at the border. And pretty incredible.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Now, they say that the international pro star tractor trailer carrying paint buckets was there for a secondary inspection, and then the K-9 inspection and the non-intrusive inspection, and then that's when they said, ooh, hey, yeah, we've found 2,033 pounds of meth inside your truck, so you're busted. So they also broke down some of the
Starting point is 00:01:37 other bus that they've made at this Laredo Bridge crossing or port of entry. It's a world trade bridge is what they call it in South Texas and Mexico. And he said they had seized 1,700, almost 1,800
Starting point is 00:01:53 rounds of ammo, $407,208 of currency, made other arrests for various crimes. They're also quick to remind you that 86,315 commercial cargo vehicles, 18,086 rail cars, and 400,67 vehicles were recorded at the port of entry during that week. Pretty impressive. They also were happy to show that they, busted they, I'm sorry, they intercepted undeclared currency with a significant amount, but they don't tell you how much.
Starting point is 00:02:33 So we just have that. Yeah, we're just taking your money. I don't worry about it. It's undeclared money. So we're going to, it's a significant amount. And does that mean that they took some or they just hadn't counted it yet? I'm not sure. Anyway, this has been going on, you know, these big busts have been going on for the last
Starting point is 00:02:51 couple of weeks and good. I mean, that's okay. They also busted another guy for 26.63 pounds of alleged cocaine. I guess he was trying to, you know, apply to come into the country. I mean, I don't know how you apply and then go, yeah, you know, never mind that, you know, $300,000 worth of cocaine I'm trying to carry with me. Don't mind that. But I will say, with the big meth bus.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Now, this ties into Okmulgi, and I'm not going to play a theme song or anything, and I still appreciate all of you sending me what should be the Okamoggi theme song, and I apologize. I was supposed to have one by now, and I've been listening to all these shows, all these theme music that people have been sending me, and it's very difficult for me to decide, but I will soon, because the Elkamoggi case is still going on, and I believe that this is tied into Alkamulgi, and this is just me,
Starting point is 00:03:50 you know, throwing it out there. You know, we have the person of interest who is still in jail in Florida. All right? Now, he hasn't been charged with anything. He was on the run. They were assuming, you know, a lot of people assume that he was part of the murders of the four guys in Oak Mugge. But, you know, four dead in Oak Mugge. But I think that he was running for his life.
Starting point is 00:04:14 And that I think now he's in jail in Florida. He doesn't go before a judge until December. 20th, I think, you know, mid to late December. And he's, you know, under special care in jail because he was going to commit suicide. Uh-huh. And since he's been, you know, detained, we've been getting some big busts at the border of meth. Are they tied together? I'm making the case that yes, they are.
Starting point is 00:04:47 They're using this guy to know when these buses are coming through because I believe that where they were at in Oak Mugge is a big distribution point for the cartel to, you know, ship it out across the country. And what better place than Oak Mugge, Oklahoma. And so that's just me. Think it out loud. You know, I got no proof of any of that. It's just me seeing what's being played out. and what's happening. So,
Starting point is 00:05:20 welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So I see where Elon got butt hurt over the weekend and decided that if you change your display name, you can get suspended on Twitter, and that's special. The story with actress Valerie Bernelli, you know, impersonated Elon Musk on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:05:47 While she really didn't impersonate them, people are idiot. You know, her Twitter handle, her verified Twitter handle was still at Wolfie's mom, which is her Twitter account. But she changed her display name to Elon Musk. So for those who, you know, didn't look and then went, hey, that's, is that Elon? And realized that it was at Wolfie's mom. It was what wasn't Elon. You know, you realize that it wasn't her.
Starting point is 00:06:15 But she sent a bunch of tweets in support of Democratic candidates. she was trying, I guess, to show flaws in his new verification system, but it really doesn't show flaws in the verification system. The account was still at Wolfie's mom. Because people are stupid, we're, I don't understand. So he, you know, he still got his paid verification system, which, you know, is for $7.99 a month, you get the blue check mark and you get a bunch of other things. We've talked about that before. But, you know, there now. he claims that then and I'm still really mad at myself I'm gonna stop for just a second I am really really mad at myself I'm never going to not do what's in my heart again for comedy
Starting point is 00:07:05 when I saw what Valerie Bertnelli was doing I thought I'm gonna change my display name to Elon Musk and tweet we're all Elon Musk now and I should have have, I apologize to you, listeners, to chewing the fat, that I didn't do that. I'm very sorry. I apologize. So then, Kathy Griffin, started, you know, changed her display name to Elon Musk. And that got Elon all butt hurt. And he, you know, suspended her and came up with his new rules saying, you know, from now on,
Starting point is 00:07:45 any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly special. identifying parody will be permanently suspended. Well, that hurts a lot of people. A lot of people change their Twitter identity just for the fun of it. And now they're going to have to do it and to put parody next to it. Kind of ruins the fun, doesn't it, Elon? But I guess not. He's all for free speech.
Starting point is 00:08:09 And he wants Twitter to become by far the most accurate source of information around the world. Uh-huh. Okay. All right. You know, you said comedy was now legal on Twitter. but unless it's something that's against you, then it's not comedy, right? All right, fine.
Starting point is 00:08:25 It's just a weird thing. I don't understand. It got all butt hurt and I think it's going to that ruins some of the fun for me on Twitter because that was the whole point. Your handle is verified. It is you. That was the point behind
Starting point is 00:08:41 being verified that it is your account and I got it. But people change their handles all the time. I mean, people change their display name all the time, but their Twitter handle, which is what is verified, stays the same all the time. So, I mean, it's not my fault. When you see a tweet and you go, wow, that's something, huh? Elon actually tweeted that.
Starting point is 00:09:07 And then you look at the tweeter and realize that it says Elon Musk, but the at, the actual Twitter handle is not Elon Musk. So you realize, oh, my gosh, that's not Elon Musk. Musk. It's just someone, you know, Valerie Bertinelli, Wolfie's mom, trying to be funny. Same as, what's her face? Kathy Griffin. So, I don't know. I just, I'm really mad at myself for not doing that. I think it's, I think it's petty that Elon did that.
Starting point is 00:09:37 So, but they have changed their blue checkmark verification plan until after the midterm election. I guess they were going to do that. It started and they, people got all wound up and said, oh, no, what about the elections, you know, we've got a, we've got the election integrity, election integrity. So they were like, okay, fine, we've postponed it until after the, after the election. So I guess, if you already have a blue check mark, which I do, and we talked about this last week, I, you know, my gut reaction is no, but it feels like it may be worth eight bucks to have that, you know, be verified on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:10:17 and I will say that I didn't put parody on my tweet when I tweeted that this will be worth the $8. Someone, I don't know who did it, put it together. It's very funny. Did the Hallmark Channel, the Heart of Christmas, proudly presents eight bucks for Christmas, and they have Elon and AOC with AOC on Elon's shoulder. Awesome.
Starting point is 00:10:41 That is funny. I didn't put parody on it, though, so I may be in trouble with that. So we'll see. And does the paying the eight bucks a month, is that a good thing? I feel like what made Twitter special, right? Is that you were verified. The people who were verified felt like they were special.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Did I feel like I was special? Not really. But I was verified and, you know, it was nice to have a verified account, knowing that when something tweeted from my account, it was from me. So, or, you know, if I, if I were to ever have someone tweeting for me, it would be because I allowed them to. So it would be just the same as coming from me. Anyway, and now, as long as, you know, he thinks that he's going to charge eight bucks a, you know, eight bucks a month to be verified so that everyone has a verified voice. But when everyone has a verified voice, you lose what was thought to be special from the,
Starting point is 00:11:46 people who are in the media who use Twitter all the time. So I think in the long run, that's going to hurt what made Twitter special. Now he, you know, now he's in a big fight because he fired a bunch of people. And I guess he's bringing some people back. And it's not all his doing. I mean, the company was, you know, top heavy. And he needed to get rid of some. And even Jack Dorsey, who I was surprised that he still remains an equity investor in the
Starting point is 00:12:16 new ownership regime of Twitter. Interesting, isn't it? So anyway, he put out an apology saying, you know, I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation. I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that. So that's just not Elon saying, hey, we got too many people. We got to get rid of them. That's a Jack Dorsey, the guy that everybody loved at Twitter or, you know, they loved them until they didn't. You can quote me on that. And then I see where Facebook is planning. We talk to. talked about how they're struggling. Yeah, they're struggling.
Starting point is 00:12:49 So they put a big hiring freeze on, and now they're getting rid of, they're going to start firing some people. Or I'm sorry, laying off up to 12,000 underperforming Facebook workers. So are those people going to be good with it? Probably not. You can still follow me at Twitter,
Starting point is 00:13:10 at Jeffrey JFR on Twitter. Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio, by the way. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink desperately. So Jimmy Kimmel, you know, the late-night talk host, who recently signed a three-year contract extension, making him one of the longest running talk show hosts in American television history, which is amazing.
Starting point is 00:13:41 I mean, congratulations, Jimmy. You know, the guy that said he lost half his audience because of the Trump jokes, but he didn't care. and the network. They called him in and slapped his hand, but he didn't care because he stuck to his guns. Good for him. Because I don't want to be able to not just rip Trump
Starting point is 00:14:00 and Trump people who like Trump. I'm going to do that, darn it. He has just been awarded the proud, the proud award of being the host of the 95th Oscars. I know. Congratulations. Now he hosted back to back in 2017 and 2018, and now this is his hat trick, and they're happy to have him back. So be ready for the 95th Oscars at the Dolby Theater at Ovation Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:14:36 And it's going to be televised live on ABC and in more than 200 territories worldwide. Sunday, March 12th, the Oscars. So congratulations to Jimmy Kimball. And yes, I'm here doing the show for you, which means I did not win the Powerball. And in fact, no one did. So the jackpot grows to $1.9 billion. Maybe you did it.
Starting point is 00:15:12 One point nine billion dollars. So nobody, it's going to be huge. It is going to be huge. I mean, it is the biggest powerball drawing ever, the biggest lottery payout ever, if it pays out. The lump sum option is $929.3 million. Now, you can get the 30, you know, 30,000. payments over 29 years.
Starting point is 00:15:49 But I just feel like that's, you know, we've talked about that before. I just kind of feel like, you know, you've got to believe that the lottery is still going to be around in 30 years. I don't know that to be the case. So no one won the $1.60 billion on Saturday's drawing. There was one winner in Kentucky, four got $2 million. And there were 16 winners of the Powerball match five, which won a million. In California, Georgia, Michigan, New York, Colorado, Kentucky.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Missouri, Pennsylvania, Florida, Maine, New Jersey, South Dakota. So if you were in one of those states, you may have won a million dollars. And if you were in Kentucky, you may have also won either a million or $2 million, but no one won the big one. And the big one is going to be tonight. So, I mean, am I going to be here tomorrow? It's possible. you just never know.
Starting point is 00:16:50 So I missed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony this past Saturday night. For those of you listening live, today is the 7th of November. Of course, that's when the Powerball drawing is, 2022. But Saturday, November 5th, they had their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Now, first of all, it's Saturday night. The World Series is on. college football is on. I am not paying attention to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Starting point is 00:17:16 I apologize. But it took place in Los Angeles. And I guess John Sykes, who I thought was going away, and he's still hanging around, chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation revealed that L.A. will now join Cleveland and New York as a regular home for the annual honors. Isn't that special? Now, the new 2022 class included Dali Parton. Because nothing says rock and roll like Dolly Parton.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Eminem. Because nothing says rock and roll like Eminem. Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo. Okay. Duran Duran. Eurythmics. Lionel Richie. And Carly Simon.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Judas Priest. Jimmy Jam. And Terry Lewis. I'll join the Rock Hall with the award. for musical excellence. Oh, man. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, Terry Lewis won the special award for musical excellence.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Now, they were big, you know, all the stars were there. They were all busy, glad-handed, and bagging themselves out of the back. Still no foreigner. So, I don't know if that's going to happen. They, you know, that will never happen according to what's his face. They said, that just doesn't come up, doesn't it? John, doesn't it? I thought for sure Sykes was gone as the head of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Oh, good. Well, the good news is as well is that we get to watch it on November 19th on HBO. Oh, okay. Well, I don't feel so bad about missing it now. They're going to put it up on HBO. That's wonderful. Wonderful. So I want to find out about the Dingleberry.
Starting point is 00:19:12 runs the Rock Hall of Fame. Oh, okay, so Sykes is the new guy. And that's right, Jan Winner. He's replacing Jan Winter from Iheart, who is in charge of the Rock Hall of Fame. Okay, so he's the new guy. All right, so anyway. And it was only five and a half hours,
Starting point is 00:19:33 so you'll be able to catch that on HBO. Can't wait for that. I mean, I like these artists. I liked them all. But are they rock and roll Hall of Fame? Fame worthy artists. Dolly Parton? Eminem.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Lionel Richie? Oh, stop. Stop it. Okay. We have some great TV shows coming up here in the future, in the very, very near future. I mean, Walking Dead is the Walking Dead. The Mothership is coming to an end. Two episodes left.
Starting point is 00:20:06 You can listen to a special Walking Dead podcast, Talking Walking Dead with myself, Jason Butchrell and my son Maximus. We do that every week, and we covered that. It should be up and available as we speak under the Chewing the Fat banner. Really good. It's been great. We've got two episodes left. And then we have Yellowstone coming back season five.
Starting point is 00:20:30 That starts next week. We'll drop the first two episodes of season five next week. You have Tulsa King with Stallone. That starts next week. should be awesome on Paramount Plus. Then I see where we have Criminal Minds Evolution. I loved Criminal Minds throughout the years. I mean, it was on for 15 seasons.
Starting point is 00:20:54 You know, the last, the final few seasons were arguably questionable, but was still Criminal Minds. And they've had some great episodes, so that's coming back, Criminal Minds Evolution, with some of the former stars from the original series. I don't know if they talk to our man, John Douglas, about anything to do with this new show, although I doubt it. But, I mean, he was the one who started the BAU. They ought to at least have a say hello to him about the show, but we shall see.
Starting point is 00:21:25 So, I mean, there's some good TV coming up. I know that films are another story, but there's some excellent TV coming up to watch in the very near future. And I'm really looking forward to it. Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea.

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 18665330 or visitcomex Ontario.ca. So who died today? Who died today?
Starting point is 00:22:26 First off, Aaron Carter. Dead at the age of 34. Aaron was a child star turned rapper. He was found dead Saturday at his home in California. He was discovered in his bathtub after a 911 call was made about his drowning. So he was, the cause of death has not officially been announced. but you know his fountain is
Starting point is 00:22:56 bathed up drowned so probably going to be part of the death anyway he was you know he was born in Florida started performing at a young age and opened for the backstreet boys
Starting point is 00:23:11 and Nick's band on their 1997 tour released his solo stuff and then he struggled with you know drugs and DUI and girlfriends and everything else. So, you know, that was, he lived a tough life.
Starting point is 00:23:32 So anyway, Aaron Carter, dead at the age of 34. And don't look at me like that with your little, oh, was he vaccinated? No, no, he wasn't. So your little sudden adult death syndrome doesn't really work with Aaron Carter, does it? Anyway, so stop looking at me like that. Anyway, Aaron Carter, dead at the age of 34.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Then we have Mukish Kumar, Mukish Kumar, dead at the age of 40. How did Mukish die? Well, he was sleeping on his rooftop, and who doesn't? I mean, when you're tired and you're on your rooftop, you want to fall asleep. Well, that's what Mukish did. apparently a group of monkeys attacked Mukesh and he tried to flee and he lost his balance and fell to the ground. He suffered severe head injuries, rest of the hospital and he died during treatment. They couldn't revive him.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Apparently there's been an increase in you know this. If you've been listening to chewing the fat, you know there has been an increase in monkey menace. That's what they're calling it now. Monkey Menace. Residents allege that the troop of monkeys enters residential and commercial buildings in search for food and attacks humans. Over a thousand people have sought anti-raby treatment since July after being injured in monkey attacks.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Don't forget about the four-month-year-old baby who was killed in the same area. It's the same monkey menace. The monkey mob is busy in this town, and they're taking over. They're taking them over. So it's time to do something. We need to put some monkeys down. They're ripping people's ears off. There is some serious, aggressive behavior happening from these monkeys,
Starting point is 00:25:29 and it's got to be put to an end. I know we're worried about monkeys. I saw where people for animals India tweeted that a monkey was beaten up and thrown in a drain. Now, of course, they rescued him, and he's under treatment at a shelter. Please pray for his speedy recovery. How about, no. I mean, I'm sorry that the monkey got beat up, I guess I am, and they're trying, I guess, to capture monkeys attacking humans
Starting point is 00:26:00 and shift them to the forest areas. No. I think it's time that we all realize, here little monkey, here. I mean, I appreciate all of you people who love monkeys, but when they are starting to now attack humans and we actually have a monkey mob, not just a monkey menace, but a monkey mob attacking humans?
Starting point is 00:26:26 No, this will not stand. Here, little monkey mob, come here for a second. Let's get this thing straightened out. As long as we have monkeys in the news, monkeys in the news, the Chinese space program is looking to send monkeys up to the their newly put together space station in order to study how they grow and reproduce in a zero gravity environment. So they're going to send monkeys up into space to take care of a little monkey business and see how everything works out with a zero gravity environment. So if you're a good
Starting point is 00:27:12 little monkey, you get to go to space and take care of space business. So that's kind of cool. So is it kind of cool? Wow, we'll see. I know the report said that the scientists also think that feeding the monkeys through the study period will, and dealing with their waste would be a major concern. Yeah, you think. But we need to understand the organism's adaption to microgravity and other space environments. So we just built this new space station.
Starting point is 00:27:43 You know what we should do? Send a bunch of monkeys up there and just turn them loose and let them take care of so monkey business and don't worry about they're going to be cleaning monkey goo no matter what particular orifice it comes from
Starting point is 00:28:00 out of that space station for years to come so you know what China that's what needs to happen send those monkeys up there and let them take care of monkey bidness in your new space station okay more animals in the news
Starting point is 00:28:16 there's a lady in Vermont who was attacked by a bear. Now she is alive to talk about it. Apparently she was going out. She was, they were staying at a condominium at the Stratton Mountain Ski Resort and she was going to let her dog out to go for a little walk or a little Bodie, a Shizoo. And when they went outside, the Bodie chases a bear cub up a tree. Well, the mother bear was not happy about this little dog chasing her bear cub up a tree. So, Then the bear attacked this lady.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Sarah Dietl, I think her name is. And she started, the bear was starting to attack her. She said that I think I tried to fight, but I just ended up in a fetal position trying to protect my head. Oh, you got scared and just fetal positioned out. He didn't want to fight the mama bear? All right, well, fine. Well, then the boyfriend, Bobby Monturo, came out
Starting point is 00:29:19 a flashlight and slammed the mama bear in the head with a flashlight, then pulled, which knocked the bear back a little bit, had the bear stop attacking, pulled Sarah inside the house, and the bear started to charge them again, and he slammed the door in the window that hit the bear in the face. And then the dog went running away, and the bear chased the dog. So they went to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington. Bennington, Vermont been there, I love it. It's beautiful. The home of Hemmings Motor
Starting point is 00:29:54 News. I digress. So they took her to the hospital and she's all healed up. She had 15 staples in her head, stitches in her face, a gash on her hip, scrapes, and bruises all over her body. I mean, she's lucky to be alive. It's not a surprise that this bear was attacking her for her, you know, saving her young
Starting point is 00:30:14 cub, and Sarah Dietel is lucky to be alive. So, Now, according to the boyfriend, it's easy for me to get mad at the bear for mangling my girlfriend and us going through this. Yes. Yes, it is, Mr. Montoro. And really, if you had been there with a weapon, perhaps you could have taken out the bear and put an end to this menace to humans.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Sarah, is that a bear? attacking you hey bear let me get i don't know my flashlight or do i need to get my weapon but mr montour would never do that because he believes we as humans are asking for it are we believe it or not um that's look we're here on green mountain forest we're guests and we're building these properties and we get mad at them when they show up neither one of us want to hurt an animal. I feel bad for hitting the bear. Do you? You feel bad for hitting the bear? Because he was attacking your girlfriend and almost killed her. Now, he didn't get the dog. The dog got away. They put up a reward for Bodie, but apparently a few hours later, Bodie came back home.
Starting point is 00:31:37 So, okay. They said that they believe this is the same bear in the area, because over the past over weeks they've seen this bear and including one of them climbed up onto their deck 18 feet off the ground to fetch bird feed. So it's the humans' fault. No. Remember
Starting point is 00:31:59 this is an ongoing belief of this program, chewing the fat, humans first. With AMX Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your
Starting point is 00:32:28 Taste Buds 2. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Oh, you know, I'd like to thank Ian Cain, a writer for the Epic Times in the arts and culture section for listening to Chewing the Fat. Ian, welcome. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Nice to have you aboard. He wrote an article a week ago about the 1970s was a great decade for American TV shows, particularly action-driven crime dramas featuring private detectives and cops. Yeah, hello, we talked about it before on this very show. We just got done talking about them because I'm looking for the theme for Okamoggi.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Colombo, Cojacks, Street to San Francisco, the Rockford Files, hello, and more specifically, this article is about, he lists these, but he's talking about, I mean, my number one show. Canon! Yes! He talks about Canon. That's right. While most TV series featured characters who were within relatively normal ranges in terms of physique William Conrad, the actor who portrayed the main character in the show was rotugned with a double-chinned and receding hairline,
Starting point is 00:33:43 not the type you'd expect to be a leading man. This observance is in no way of put down. Rather, it makes a fresh approach to building a character that stands out in the crowded field of 70s private investigators. Indeed, Canon often uses his own girthy body as a prop for, self-deprecating humor yet wields it like a formidable weapon when he needs to. Conrad's incredible acting chops and charismatic spirit breathe a life into the proverbial clay of the character, giving it a realistic heft that matches the more gritty sensibilities of the 70s. Yes, it does, Ian, which I've been a proponent of for a long time here on chewing the fat. I'd like to welcome you.
Starting point is 00:34:29 to chewing the fat and let you know that Kennan. Canon, tonight's episode. Chewing the fat. I mentioned earlier, the World Series was on this weekend and it ended on Saturday as the Houston Astros defeated the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night. I was going back and forth to catch the end of the World Series
Starting point is 00:34:54 and watching some college football. But I see, and I miss the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yeah, that's what we're. talking about, but I see where Mattress Mac, Jim Mattress Maconvale from Houston, he's a big time Houston sports fan, and he's a betting man, and he bets all the time on this. And with the Astros winning the World Series, he won $75 million. Good for him. Now, he always has promotions at his stores that help ease the pain of these bets that he does.
Starting point is 00:35:29 But pretty sweet. Good for him, man. $75 million. It's nice. You know, Caesar's Sportsbook announced that it paid out $30 million of that win. He put $3 million on the Astros out of 10 to 1 on May 13th. And then he, Caesar's digital CEO said that Mac may have won the round on the field. We're proudly teamed up to support with first responders.
Starting point is 00:35:54 So he always has, you know, a side deal going on, which is really great. He placed 10 million wager on the Astros capturing a World Series title at 7.51, which is the 75 million update. So it was more than one place that he made the bets total. But congratulations to Mattress Mac for winning $75 million on the Stroes winning the World Series. Also, remember, we're coming up on Election Day. Tomorrow is Election Day 2020. Wow. 11, 8, 20, 22 is Election Day.

And I know Joe Biden is our president and he, you know, and he's agonizing and he's vowed to shut down coal plants across America. We can talk about that if you want. We can talk about what a nightmare he is and how that is affecting the United States of America. We can talk about him stumbling on stage when he was with Kathy Hochel again this weekend. We can talk about him not calling Benjamin Netanyahu and congratulating him on an election win. We can talk about what a dufus he is.

We can talk about what an idiot our president of the United States is, or we can talk about the good things that President Biden has done. Let's look at the list. Plus, you can add to the list that maybe he has really made people appreciate the Constitution of the United States even more. He's a great uniter.

Starting point is 00:40:24 But the big races that you really want to know about, you're not going to know about it tomorrow night. about, you know, what do I know? What do I know?

And this joke was a big animal day on this program today. And I talked on Friday about the taxidermist and the couple who made their daughter. dog skin their rug, which, you know, whatever, you do you. So this email was sent to me and said, your story about turning your dog into a rug.
Starting point is 00:41:08 It wasn't my dog. Okay. But anyway, your story about turning your dog into a rug reminded me about the tourist from Canada who went into a redneck bar in Alabama. The locals sized him up and the bartender asked him where he's from. He said Canada. Bartender said, what are you doing Canada? He says, I'm a taxidermist.
Starting point is 00:41:29 What, you drive a taxi? No, I mount animals. The bartender said, he's okay, boys, he's one of us. Thanks for listening to Chewing the Fat. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at the Blaze.com slash podcasts.
