Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Well, well, well. Kevin Spacey Fowler, well, Kevin Spacey that you know, found not guilty of all sexual charges that he was facing in the UK trial. He faced nine sexual offense charges related to incidents reported by four men
Starting point is 00:00:59 that allegedly took place between 2001 and 2013. Not guilty. It's over. Have a nice day. Does he get his life back now? I mean, holy cow. They found him not guilty with Anthony Rapp here in the U.S. They find him not guilty in London.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Can we all get over Kevin Spacey now and realize, hey, you know, maybe we ought to just let him go back to doing what he was doing and creating great content for us to enjoy. Oh, wait, there's an actor's strike. So he can't right now. So he's just probably going to go hang out in Barbados. You know, wherever Kevin hangs out. I don't.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Last time I saw him, he was in Barbados. We hung out for a little while. And I said, Kev, you're going to come back? Well, when I found not guilty, Jim, I'm coming back. So that's probably where he's going to go. I don't know. I mean, it's just amazing. How does this guy get his life back?
Starting point is 00:02:00 but I hope he does. So there you have it. Breaking news today, Kevin Spacey, not guilty. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So I know gas prices have gone up about, I don't know, 50 cents in the last week, at least, depending on where you get gas.
Starting point is 00:02:27 But according to this, economic indicators are looking up. That's funny. That's funny. According to this, U.S. consumer confidence increased to its highest level in two years. While the International Monetary Fund raised its forecast for the global economy in 2023 to a healthy 3%. Both measures add up to the upbeat summer vibes after numerous warnings of recession due to turmoil and banking and inflation and the fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Still, though, never better.
Starting point is 00:03:13 The indicators are looking up. That's great. Now, the Jeff Fisher, chewing the fat economic indicators would say something different. My economic indicators are, of course, if you listen to the show, you know that our cars broken down along the interstate. I believe that that is an economic indicator that things aren't going quite as. as well as people think, because they're holding off fixing their cars,
Starting point is 00:03:37 routine maintenance, because they can't afford it. And so it breaks down. And we see more and more cars along the interstate breaking down, which to me leads to economic indicators not looking up. But again, I'm not an economist. Far from it. I know that. But then I see stories that India's rice,
Starting point is 00:04:03 export ban. I didn't realize this was an issue, which is kind of actually concerning. India has a rice export ban. And because of this ban, U.S. supermarkets had a panic buying run on rice. I did you know? I mean, I didn't go to, did I go? No, I did not go to any box stores or anything yesterday. So I wasn't run over by anyone trying to buy the 20 pound bag of rice at Sam's Club or Costco.
Starting point is 00:04:32 but according to this, the bags prices surged from $16 to $50 to $50 in some stores. Is that nice, price gouging? Oh, there's a run on rice. Go ahead and charge more, charge more. We need some of the aisle five. Raise the price on rice. That's price gouging. Sorry, that's actual price gouging.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Now, I'm okay with it because supply and demand, but I'm just talking about they would say that's gouging. So, India accounts for 40% of the world rice exports. And they ordered a halt to its largest rice export category, the non-Basmodi rice, to calm domestic prices, sparking fears of global shortages. So there was panic buying in rice. I mean, there were panic buying in rice. That's what they were panic buying. in Texas, Michigan, New Jersey, Alabama, Ohio, Illinois, and California.
Starting point is 00:05:38 So if you're in another one, if you're not in one of those states, you're fine. Just go get your rice today. I know this show originates from Texas. I may have to fight somebody off for a 20-pound bag of rice. That might have to happen. Some stores had hiked their price to $4699. That would be less than the $50 earlier reported in this story. A few Desi grocery shops came up with innovative ideas to force customers to spend a minimum of $35 to $50 on other items to purchase a single rice bag.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Oh, you guys got rice? Yeah, but you're going to have to buy some of that stuff over there first. Otherwise, no, sorry, can't get it. What if I just take the bag of rice? Yeah, don't make me shoot this thing. Okay, don't do it. So, as I said, economic indicators are looking good. Okay, so good news is that six people are hurt.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Nobody died. They didn't make it to the Who died today segment today. Six people are hurt when a crane caught fire and then collapsed into a New York City Street during the morning commute. The video footage of it is pretty incredible. It's on 10th Avenue, west 41st and 42nd streets in Hell's Kitchen in NYC. And if you've never been to Manhattan, you're like so. But it's like 50 stories up.
Starting point is 00:07:10 And I remember when working in Manhattan, anything that's going on up above you, unless you're a tourist, you don't care. How do you tell a tourist in Manhattan? They're all looking up. The rest of the people, we got places to go. They've got things to do. but just incredible so it's 50 stories up and we saw the footage of it crashing
Starting point is 00:07:31 into the building across the way and then it came crashing down into the street so only six people are hurt that's pretty incredible so the top part of the crane the boom and the 16 ton load crashed
Starting point is 00:07:48 to the ground uh wow so the crane was lifting 16 tons of concrete when the fire started. The crane operator saw the fire tried to extinguish it
Starting point is 00:08:04 only he couldn't do it because he's a loser crane operator and couldn't get the fire out and got overwhelmed by the fire the wuss and then got the hell out of there. So I mean he's safe now and he made it. Thankfully he made it out of there okay
Starting point is 00:08:20 no cause were concerned the people down on the street 50 stories below But then So he then Above the roof line There's a beam that goes out and that carries the weight Which came crashing down Incredible
Starting point is 00:08:35 So then they showed the video of the footage of the fireman On another building That's up they were probably up about 70 stories If that was 50 stories And they're you know They've got the hose shooting across the way Tried to put the fire out And the wind is blowing and stuff
Starting point is 00:08:52 And I was thinking Remember the other day we talked about the drones fighting fires. Now, I don't know if they have enough hose for drones to go up 50 stories. Probably not today. But they should have. And that's a time when you want to use drones.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Fly them up there and get that thing out instead of firemen being, you know, two blocks over trying to shoot water across the way during the wind. Use the drones to put that thing out. Amazing. And so, you know, I mean, they've got things shut. down and there were six people heard I'll tell you what if you were walking in the area at all
Starting point is 00:09:29 oh oh I just got hit by a little piece of metal I mean you need to look at this you can see you can barely see where I got hit but it's right there I need to get checked out right away and I mean you're going to want to get your cut might be a little late now you should have acted right then though or or it might not be a little bit still morning just go to the emergency room right now. So I don't want to say anything, but I was walking down, you know, 41st Street in Hell's Kitchen this morning. And I think I got like a piece of metal or something in my eye when that crane crashed. I didn't think anything happened, but take a look. You see that? Anything in there? I know. I can, I, everything's got a blurry in my eye now. Look at this. Look at it. It looks fine.
Starting point is 00:10:19 No, no, no. Look at it. Look at this. It looks like I was walking out. I don't know if it's from the crane or not. I was walking down the street. I see an interview. I don't even know what he was saying. They've got some worker that was walking on the street. And the caption is, Ironworker talks about what happened. What was going on prior to the crane crash?
Starting point is 00:10:42 There was another morning in New York City. What's going on before the crane crash? Well, it was a sunny day. People were walking to and fro. And the next thing you know, I saw a lady with a crane up her ass. Oh, okay. I mean, what do you mean what was going on before?
Starting point is 00:11:01 I can't, I can't. This is what it is. No, seriously, I can't anymore. I just, you know what, let's just, let's wish people some birthdays, okay? Mick Jagger, 80 years old today. Mick Jagger, 80 years old today. There was a, I played a video this morning on Pat Gray-on-leashed during my chewing the fat segment, which I do every Wednesday morning on Patree Unleashed,
Starting point is 00:11:23 chewing the fat. There was a montage of Jagger from young to old, and you can see what kind of deal he made with the devil. Okay, so, man, it's there. But I was also looking at Kevin Spacey's birthday today. Amazing, he's 64 today, and he's found not guilty on all charges at a courtroom in London. I mean, happy freaking birthday. What more do you want, Kev?
Starting point is 00:11:46 Okay. You want hundreds of millions of dollars and your pride back? Ah, don't worry about that. You'll get that back. I see where it's, oh, wow, Helen Muran is 78. Ooh, ooh, okay. You have, oh, what's her face? Kate Beckettel turns 50.
Starting point is 00:12:10 50! Kate, I don't want to be the one to tell you, baby, but a little longer the tooth. Okay, so, I mean, I'm not saying that. I just, that's what I heard that from other, from other people about, you know, people that turn 50. I'm not saying that, though. Don't look at me like that. Sandra Bullock, 59.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Today's a big birthday day, July 26th. Okay. Now, if you're listening live, today is the 26th of July, 23. It's a big birthday day. Sandra Bullock turns 59. Actor Jeremy Piven turns 58. Jason Statham turns 56. Wow.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Big day. Big day in the old birthday cake world. So happy birthday to all the people who were born on today. It's the way it works. Whether I named you or not, happy freaking birthday. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Okay, so nobody won the Mega Millions last night.
Starting point is 00:13:24 So the Mega Millions now, quick little lotto update for you. The mega millions now will be drawn on Friday, the next drawing, $910 million, $464.2 million cash payout. And the Powerball, $41 million. I mean, I hate to even see it up on the billboard, to be honest with you, but $41 million, $21.2 million cash payout. And I see where nobody has picked up the billion from California. they had the lady that showed up at the bodega and I guess it's not a bodega in L.A.
Starting point is 00:14:03 is it? Anyway, she showed up at the shop and was crying and had everybody all happy that she was the winner and then got out of there before she, they realized she really doesn't have a ticket and she never comes in the store ever. I've never seen her before. Oh, she's just make-believe?
Starting point is 00:14:19 Oh, okay, yeah. That's incredible. She wanted all the footage. She got it though. She got what she wanted out of it. So it was awesome. And then I see where they talked about the winner of the $2 billion lotto in California that Edwin Castro won and he's being spot they have him spotted around town so he's being hawked by TMZ everywhere he goes
Starting point is 00:14:41 and he's driving around in his vintage $250,000 Porsche good for him good for him he's ducking in and out they've got him coming out of the bank with an envelope full of cash what else are you going to do you just won two billion 30 year old California He you know Can you at 30
Starting point is 00:15:01 Taking the cash payout like he did Right I mean he took the cash payout Which was I think Under a billion Right it was a 2 billion jackpot And so he got like 970 something million something like that Which isn't bad
Starting point is 00:15:16 I mean I'm willing I would accept the check I'll just let's be clear about that Yeah 997.6 million Was the cash payout Holy cow. My gosh.
Starting point is 00:15:30 That would be just as pause for a second. Just a moment. And just think about receiving $997.6 million. Okay. So now apparently he's invested in real estate. And he's bought two multi-million dollar homes in California. You may want to slow down, Ed. All right, just calm down.
Starting point is 00:15:57 that 997 million it's a lot of money right now but you start spending $25.5 million on homes the upkeep doesn't stop that's expensive I know I know it's $900 million
Starting point is 00:16:13 I got it I got it but so he has a Hollywood Hills residence that's five bedrooms seven baths 13,500 square feet of living space it's not bad I mean, anyone could live in that place like that.
Starting point is 00:16:30 It's got, you know, game room, wine, cellar, movie theater, bar, infinity pool, spa, fitness studio, hot and cold plunges. Okay. And then he has his other home in Altadena, which is just a short distance from the gas station. Yeah, where he purchased the powerball ticket. So, all right, he, you know, he's still keeping that place. I don't know why he wants to keep that dump. Probably just a reminder. He can drive by there every once in a while.
Starting point is 00:16:56 while. Yeah, I used to live there. It might be back there if you keep spending $25 million on homes. You never know. So, and that's just a little Japanese style pad built back in 1953. So, I mean, it's fine. And it's got enough money to fix it up. I would say, remodel that bad boy and keep that as the, you know, the safe house. For sure. But he's in a little bit of trouble, which is kind of surprising. He's up against a guy who says, hey, that ticket was mine. I bought that ticket, and he's now suing Castro and his former landlord, Reggie Romero, who he claims stole his ticket and told him it was a loser. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:51 So they've both obviously denied it. And the California lottery officials, I mean, they've already paid it out. So they are like, I know, we're fairly confident that's Castro's ticket. So good luck. Good luck. You know what? It's mine. He told me I lost two.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Good luck. I mean, I don't know. If they've got to have time stamps, obviously, the lot of has time stamps. They have video when you purchase the tickets. Let me a break. I mean, that's a tough fight to get to have. right there. But yet he's still having to have it.
Starting point is 00:18:29 So just all I'm saying, Ed, is congratulations and good for you. And, you know, if you need anybody to do any advertising for you or anything like that, tune to fat at the blaze.com is the email address. You can reach out anytime. You can hit me up on Twitter or X

Starting point is 00:19:37 It's going to be Twitter. Twitter's a brand. I mean, Twitter is a brand. It's a part of the fabric of America in the world. Elon doesn't care. And, you know, he's the richest guy on the planet, so maybe he knows what he's doing. Maybe he's got other ideas.
Starting point is 00:19:52 I don't know. He talked about how, He did talk about the rebranding of Twitter and how he plans to create an everything app. So, you know, Twitter was acquired by X-Corp, both to ensure, you know, freedom of speech and as an accelerant for X, the everything app. It's simply not a company renaming itself, but doing the same thing. Oh, okay. Twitter, the Twitter made this, you want to know, the message. the Twitter name made sense when it was just 140 character messages going back and forth like birds tweeting but now get it a Twitter tweeting like birds tweeting I never thought of that but now you can post almost anything including several hours of video in the months to come we will add comprehensive communications and the ability to conduct your entire financial world the Twitter name does not
Starting point is 00:20:53 make sense in that context so we must bid a do to the bird huh okay and when I talked the other day about when they launched it Sunday night they had the big X on the side of the building and I said that that's just it's not going to happen because the Twitter signed on the building was still there with the little bird and the Twitter and everything was still hanging on the side of the building well Elon was what to started to take it down I saw the videos of the machines starting to take it down, although that had to be stopped because he didn't have a permit. He didn't have the right permits in California.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Here's, when the guy came up and said, stop that right now, just keep going. Don't, don't look down. Don't be the sad crane operator that can't put out of fire. Just keep going. All right, by the time you knock that thing down and take it off to build. building, whatever you, I'm sure Elon wants to save it. I mean, the world would like to have that sign. Anybody would want that in the corner of their bedroom.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Dude, you got the Twitter sign. Yep. I was walking by the building, and there it was in the trash can. And I thought, oh, man, that, man. If it lights up, that would be cool. And it does. Look, I plugged it in. It's cool, man.
Starting point is 00:22:21 so it's kind of big in here it makes it kind of bright I mean I didn't think it was going to be that big but it's kind of cool so whatever if he gets rid of right if he gets rid of the X I'm going to get that too
Starting point is 00:22:42 because that probably won't light up as bright as this and it'll make it a little bit darker in here I mean come on so just keep going though they made him stop they made him stop you don't have the proper permit okay all right that's proof positive what's wrong with
Starting point is 00:23:00 California right there oh and I see where my man my main man you know him you love him Johnny Depp he was found passed out in a hotel room and the show was canceled so he's back to his old ways like to see it
Starting point is 00:23:15 he was in a Hungarian hotel and uh they came in and he was passed out so this went ahead and canceled the show and we don't worry about it. I don't know what show he was doing in Hungary.
Starting point is 00:23:31 That's interesting. Oh, so it was Depp's band that was there performing in their Budapest concert. Yeah, I'm not going to be able to make that tonight. He didn't even say that. He's just, hey, somebody go get John. John! Johnny!
Starting point is 00:23:56 I canceled the show. He's not moving. Is he still alive? Yeah, he's breathing. All right, yeah, we're not doing the show. Move on. Don't include, put the hang, make sure you hang the do not disturb on the doorknob, and it will leave me.
Starting point is 00:24:12 All right, take care. Get somebody in and to clean this crap up, too. It's a little messy. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Conditions apply. So all day today, I've been singing, I left my heart in San Francisco. I was just like, I left my heart. And I was trying to think, how did I get here? I don't know where it came from. I didn't do a Tony Bennett story for a couple of days. You know, it's been a couple of days since the who died today. It's been several days since he actually died.
Starting point is 00:25:11 So, you know, I'm trying to how to get there. Then I see this story and I think, That's how I got to, I left my heart in San Francisco. So the story was sent to me at about 3 a.m. this morning. And it's about a Brazilian man who is now the girlfriend with the girl that he mugged. Okay. So she fell in love with the man who mugged me. The headline is, I fell in love with the man who mugged me.
Starting point is 00:25:42 He stole my phone and then my heart. I left my heart You took my heart When you took my purse And so that's how we get to I left my heart in San Francisco So a woman apparently according to this story The criminal took the woman's phone
Starting point is 00:26:13 but after perusing her photos so the guy stole her phone started looking at the photos and was like oh yeah hello take care of a little bit
Starting point is 00:26:27 so you don't see a brunette like that every day I believe is the quote oh yeah so then he it says here well then he managed to contact her I wonder how he did that I don't know
Starting point is 00:26:42 That's why I can't. That's why a lot of times I just, I can't. Okay, so, and the forgiving woman identified only as Emmanuelella. Then reportedly became charmed by the mugger, and the pair has just celebrated two years of blissful happiness. I fell in love with the man that mugged me. I left my heart in a Brazilian smuggers town. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:23 This is how I got it in my head. Anyway, all right. Who died today? Let's move on for my stupid, I left my heart in San Francisco. Who died today? Pamela Blair. Pamela Blair, 73.
Starting point is 00:27:39 You'd know her if you saw her. All my children. A chorus line, Pamela Blair. When you look at her, you go, oh, yeah, her. She is dead at the age of 73. She had a lengthy illness at her home in Phoenix. Oh, man, maybe she died of the heat. She might be one of the heat deaths in Phoenix.
Starting point is 00:28:01 I mean, they claim, she had a lengthy illness, but, I mean, okay, all right. So anyway, Pamela Blair, dead at the age of seven. And remember we found the bodies in the mountains, the mummified bodies in Colorado. We talked about them. They were out. The hikers found the mummified bodies, and they were talking about they had been out there for a while. And we weren't sure who they were, what was going on.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Well, they have now been identified. They have two sisters and a teen boy. We're planning to live off the grid. perhaps if you're planning on living off the grid, you ought to know how. Have a couple of, I have a little bit of a plan. We're just going to go off into the mountains and live. That's tough. It's tough.
Starting point is 00:28:54 So Christine Vance, Rebecca Vance, and Rebecca's son. Christine was 41, Rebecca was 42, and her son, 14. a thousand feet from a site they found this campground in Gold Creek and they started hiking in July of 2022 and they weren't found for another year but a family member said
Starting point is 00:29:23 oh yeah they were planning to go and live off the grid okay all right maybe no one said hey why don't you hold up a little bit Okay, maybe you ought to bring a tent Maybe a blanket Maybe some extra food
Starting point is 00:29:43 I know, maybe a weapon You know, to kill food That's how it works There's no Walmart on the hikers trail in Colorado But, oh, that's right you were going off the grid All right, okay, all right, fine, whatever I get it Then we have
Starting point is 00:30:01 We got a couple of American airline stories today Holy cow Okay, so the death on the tarmac in Austin, Texas, okay, an American Airlines worker who died there ruled to have been a horrific accident. But originally, they tried to blame it on a suicide for this guy, okay? Ingram 37, McHell Ingram, was a fleet service agent. He was driving an aircraft towing vehicle, you know, the, tug and he's on the tarmac at the Austin Bergstrom International Airport which is
Starting point is 00:30:41 beautiful this time of year and crashed it into a jet bridge and if you know the airport it's right there by near gate 424 at the Barbara Jordan terminal duh and so he crashed in now he was pronounced dead around 15 minutes after authorities arrived on the scene well okay so I don't know he's over there I will try to revive him Oh, no, he's dead.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Okay. So during the incident, a corporate investigator hired by American Airlines was like, oh, you know, it could have been a suicide. Oh, okay. Well, that means something different? Well, it wouldn't be liable. You know, it was a suicide. And so apparently they had obtained information indicating that the fatal incident was a suicide
Starting point is 00:31:33 and not an accident. that's what he was trying to, you know, hawk to the police. Not so fast. Because now they're saying, one witness said, I saw him on the tug, it was driving,
Starting point is 00:31:46 then it sped up, well, the witness said, accelerated faster than normal, and then veered to the right before the fatal, fatal collision. Other ground agents
Starting point is 00:31:57 yelled at him to hit the brakes, and he was like, I don't know, I got no brakes, bro. I don't know. You can, could yell at me all you want. I got no brakes. And so the crash left him pinned between the vehicle and the underside of the jet bridge.
Starting point is 00:32:15 You don't want to do that. That's suboptimal. So the medical examiner determined that he died as a result of blunt force injuries. He did not have any drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of the crash. And there was an anonymous source. Who told them, hey, I work for American Airlines. And you can't say who this is or anything. But that particular tug has been marked out of service numerous times for failed breaks and stuff. And it's had several mechanical issues.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Why don't you just check the maintenance report on that thing? Because it's had a bunch of mechanical failures, okay? Oh, would that, is that making a suicide? or does it mean it was an accident that could have been avoided had there been routine maintenance on the vehicle at the airport? So it wasn't a suicide.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Huh. Huh. Then the other American Airlines story, oh, where is that stupid? We did this story this morning on Pat on Leash. I'm so furious. I can't believe this actually happened.
Starting point is 00:33:28 I can't believe it actually happened. So the story, there has to be more to the story. There has to be more to the story. an American Airlines plane returned it to the airport after it had departed after a passenger on board
Starting point is 00:33:43 called the flight attendant a waiter Now let's be honest Okay They are sky waitresses or sky waiters That's what they do All right You can pretend
Starting point is 00:34:00 That you're whatever you want to pretend you are, but that's what you are. Okay, your sky waitresses or waiters. So the flight bound for Georgetown Guyana from New York City's JFK International. It's going
Starting point is 00:34:18 across the ocean. Two hours already into the flight turned around. No, thank you. Do you know how freaking pissed I would be, you know, if I had business dealings in Guyana,
Starting point is 00:34:33 And I was traveling and left JFK. Oh, my gosh. I would be very angry. Very angry. I can't even express to you properly without using words that I shouldn't use how angry I would be. So the passenger who told,
Starting point is 00:34:53 now this is his side of the story, Joel Gansam, who said, is a Guyanese cultural activist. He shared his version of events with the caption on a video saying, What really went down? I don't have this video. I wish I did.
Starting point is 00:35:12 And that's fine. I looked around. I tried to find it, and I couldn't find his version of events. So if I find it, I'll see if he sounds believable to me. But he said he was traveling a business class and denied that he was being disruptive, claimed that the episode started when he asked a flight attendant to help him put his
Starting point is 00:35:32 bags in the overhead luggage compartment because he had recently undergone surgery, which sounds reasonable. And plus, that's what they do. They help people with their luggage and the overheads. That's what they do. We see it happening all the time. And he was like, I don't do that. I don't get paid for that. Yeah, you kind of do. You kind of do. And he also added that another employee
Starting point is 00:35:56 apologized for that douchebag and said, he didn't call him a douchebag. did. He said, I apologized and then helped him. So the other employees know what a douchebag this guy is. So if they know that he's a douchebag, why didn't they say, look, the guy isn't being
Starting point is 00:36:15 disruptive? And the pilot believed him and turned him around? I mean, this is a douche on a douche crime. Well, wait, no, that me and Kiss him would be a douche crime. I'm talking about the pilot and the flight waiter. Lach.
Starting point is 00:36:32 So the flight attendant, who refused to help him, about an hour into the flight, asked me if I wanted anything to drink. I said, no thank you, waiter. He claimed that the flight attendant told him he wasn't a waiter, but had the power to turn the plane around. Gansom said, you must be God, if so do it. And now the pilot announced over the light speaker that the plane was returning to New York, and he was met by a police officer when they landed at JFK. And Ingram, this guy, Gansom says that he wasn't disruptive. Once they took him into custody at JFK, they let him go.
Starting point is 00:37:27 okay so this can't I mean it just can't be true right I mean this can't be it can't be a sky a sky waiter or waitress that's what they do
Starting point is 00:37:40 they help people with their luggage and they serve drinks and you think you have the power which they did the pilot turned it turned it around amazing now maybe the pilot's like
Starting point is 00:37:54 we're two hours in we got another how long does it take to get to Guyana. I mean, I don't know the flight path to Guyana. Probably should, though. Yeah, it's five hours and four. I was going to say six hours. It's not even six hours. You know, if you go direct. If you got a layover,
Starting point is 00:38:12 maybe a flight of London first or something like that, but a direct flight. I mean, you're looking at five hours and 41 minutes. So you're two hours in, still less than half, but still, two hours in and you're turning around the pilot must have had something to get to like he wanted to go back home he didn't want to fly to Guyana had to be had to be
Starting point is 00:38:36 what you guys need to do I don't want to go to Guyana I'm wanted it Guyana I can't go to Guyana so you need to create something to happen so that we have to turn this thing around and it's got to happen before we're halfway there so make it happen
Starting point is 00:38:51 and I'll turn this thing around that's the only excuse How does the doucheback come in and say, he called me a waiter and being disruptive. We need to turn this around. Two hours into the flight? Across the Atlantic? Come on.
Starting point is 00:39:07 American Airlines? You're agonizing. That is agonizing that you allow something like that. Because American Airlines in the article, I mean, this is their comment. American Airlines. It was turned around due to a disruptive customer. Safety and security are our
Starting point is 00:39:25 top priorities. And we thank our customers for their understanding and our team members for their professionalism in managing a difficult situation. Right.

Starting point is 00:40:23 We've got another big case today, too. We found out that Kevin Spacey was found not guilty on all charges in the London trial. Then we have Hunter Biden, the son to the president of the United States, before a court in Delaware working out his plea deal. Now the judge was pissed at his attorneys for misrepresenting stuff. They'll probably get a slap on the hand for that
Starting point is 00:40:46 and say, you know, yeah, we're sorry, Your Honor. We didn't lie. It was a misunderstanding. We misrepresented. And they might get a fine and get hollered at and then we'll go to the plea deal. Now, the judge could say, no, I'm not going to accept the plea deal.
Starting point is 00:41:04 And, I mean, Hunter Biden technically could say, I don't want to accept the plea deal. Oh, that kills me when I see that banner across stupid network television. Will Hunter Biden accept the plea deal? I don't know. What do you think? So we still are waiting to find out about that. The odds are forever in your favor.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Believe me, odds are forever in his favor. Judge, she's not going to go against the plea deal. Everybody's there. They've all agreed to it. Whether she thinks it's BS or not, they've all agreed to it, and she's going to say, yeah, you agree to this plea deal, you agree to this plea deal, and you have this amount of time and this amount of money to pay.
Starting point is 00:41:56 You get fined because you misrepresented yourself. Are we good, Department of Justice? We're good. We're out. Have a nice day. And then Hunter could say, that's all been resolved. It's okay. It's all been resolved.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Wasn't my Coke? I've already done this deal. We're good to go. You can't come after me anymore about any kind of gun deal or this form wasn't signed. We're all good and it's over. Have a nice day. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Thank you. And that's the way it's going to end to Delaware today. It's my prediction anyway. Okay, so let's say you're a 21-year-old. old and you have a 36G bra and you're not with Hunter because he's in court. So you say, hey, I'm going to go to Drake's show at the Barclay Center in New York
Starting point is 00:42:48 and Drake's up on stage and you throw your bra up on stage. And there's all kinds of social media and the one, my favorite post was locate this woman immediately. and Playboy did. Playboy reached out. And apparently, you know, we know now that Playboy doesn't have their magazine anymore.
Starting point is 00:43:14 They've switched to their only fans style business model. And I guess, according to this, this 21-year-old wasn't a fan of only fans. But I love the story. She wasn't gung-ho. Oh, really? Oh, that's funny. I got it. She wasn't gung-ho for, oh.
Starting point is 00:43:34 laugh, but Playboy said, hey, why don't you come and hop on a Playboy bandwagon? And apparently she's accepted. So, okay. She's considering. We'll see. I, you know, Drake probably
Starting point is 00:43:49 took care of a little business after the show too. Call her up to stage. Hey, Veronica, Korea. How you doing? Let's come on up here. you need your brawback well
Starting point is 00:44:06 see what we can do about that that was Drake oh and we found out that UPS is not going to strike that deal they've made a settlement apparently I don't know that it's been ratified by the unions but the Teamsters Union said
Starting point is 00:44:22 it has secured pay raises for UPS workers averting what would have been I mean a huge strike we can't have UPS striking I'm sorry that just can't happen Well, I mean, obviously it could, but it just can't. All right. So I guess UPS has put $30 billion and new money on the table as a direct result of these negotiations.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Now, the contract sets a new standard in the labor movement and raises the bar for all workers, according to Sean O'Brien, the president of the Teamsters. Under the tentative five-year agreement, existing full and part-time UPS Teamsters will earn $2.75 more per hour. this year and $7.50 and $50 more per hour over the length of the contract. Doesn't say what the length of the contract is.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Wages for existing part-timers will also be raised to no less than $21 per hour, effective immediately. According to the Teamster statement, new part-time hires at UPS will start at 21 and advance to $23 per hour. It doesn't say anything about making sure that they're going to get AC, in the trucks. That was a big deal. It doesn't say anything
Starting point is 00:45:37 about whether they're going to get fans in the truck. Of course, they said they would put AC in the trucks and that they would put fans in the trucks that didn't have it. And so quit your whining.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Just deliver the products. We can't have UPS going. Now, I will say this. As a person who should be running, USPS. I should be on the board of governors. At the very least, Postmaster General should be me.
Starting point is 00:46:09 But postmaster general answers to the board of governors, so I don't want to have to answer to anyone. But I've got a plan, and I could turn this thing around. So even if UPS goes out on a strike, so. FedEx goes on strike, so. D.H.L. goes on
Starting point is 00:46:25 strike. So. Got the United States Postal Service. Right here, right now. they haven't asked. So what are you going to do? So you don't want UPS striking. You don't want any of those companies striking. You know how much, man,
Starting point is 00:46:41 the merchandise that gets moved by these companies is astronomical. I mean, UPS claims delivered an average of 24.3 million packages a day in 2022. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:47:03 It's incredible. I mean, that's just incredible. And so, I mean, there's so much that depends on UPS that, you know, and other, I got it, FedEx, back off me. All right. I know you're part of the deal, D.HL. I got it. But, you know, this can't shut down. And this is just going to drive FedEx and D.HL and UPS.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Does D.HL even exist? I keep saying that, but I don't even know if they exist. I was trying to remember if I see a D.HL truck anymore. but maybe they were absorbed by FedEx or UPS. Yeah, okay, yeah, all right, there still exists. Okay, that's what I'm saying. You guys need to step up. I need to see D.HL take up the pace a little bit, all right?
Starting point is 00:47:49 Maybe you drop your prices and advertise you've got the cheapest prices. Then you can start moving some product. Just a thought from me, though. So now we're finding out a little bit more. about the death of the Obama's chef on Martha's Vineyard. Okay, so it's a tragedy. The man drowned.
Starting point is 00:48:10 He's got a wife, he's got twin sons. I mean, it's horrible. I don't wish that on anyone. But, you know, originally the Obamas were not anywhere to be found. They were not there at Martha's Vineyard. They weren't around. Well, it turns out now that the private chef, you know,
Starting point is 00:48:29 Tafari Campbell, was on the island because Barack was there. Initially, the Obama said they were not at home. Now their office has been forced to clarify that, well, we weren't on the island. I mean, we were on the island. We just weren't at the residence.
Starting point is 00:48:54 So, first, we weren't there. Who called 911? Other than we'd need to hear that call. I'd like to hear who called 911. Was it one of the Obamas? I mean, we'll be able to tell. You know, it's either Barack. At some point, you made too much money.
Starting point is 00:49:10 We've got a dead body. Or if it's Michelle, there's a dead body floating in the pond. You know, either one. You'd be able to tell who it is. And so now it turns out that Barack was there, and they clarified, well, okay, all right, they were on the island. All right, they were on the island. But we weren't there.
Starting point is 00:49:32 We weren't at the house when it happened. Holy cow. What is happening? This actually could be something nefarious instead of an accident. I mean, there could have been something there where he was, you know, there were reports that he was writing a book on the Obamas.
Starting point is 00:49:52 I believe that, you know, if we're going to go there, then we've got to believe that, you know, he was having an affair with one of the Obama's. I don't know which one. Michelle or Barack, either one. Come here. Are you done cooking for the day? I mean, don't look at me like that.
Starting point is 00:50:15 It could have happened. And so maybe he was writing about it in the book, and you can't have that. I mean, that, oh my gosh, that would not. That's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. but if we find out more and I need to break out
Starting point is 00:50:32 the canon theme and we have to have a full investigation on Operation Private Chef that has to happen I mean, hello tonight's episode Private Chef I can't wait, where's my Canon theme? Yeah, baby, come on.
Starting point is 00:50:55 I might have to bring it back for this for the Obama man. Yes. This is awesome. Canon. Tonight's episode starring William Conrad. With guest stars, William Daniels. They're probably not going to make this episode. Yeah, she's not going to make the episode either.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Louise Troy. She's out. Alex Rocco. He's not going to make this episode either. This is tonight episode. Private Chef. Cannon, that's what's, I'm figuring that out. That is happening if we find out more about this Jeff's death. Because that is fascinating.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Now we weren't anywhere around. Okay, we were there. We were on the island, but we weren't at the house. Oh, okay. What about this? Mr. and Mrs. Obama? Dda-da-da. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content
