So I have never heard of this before. A man was caught speeding in Georgia, you know, on a freeway, and the cops gave him a ticket. So he was going more than 35 miles an hour over the speed limit. He was doing 90 and a 55, which I guess is too fast. It's too fast if you get caught. Now, they claim that... You know, they gave him the ticket. And then so he goes online and checks out, hey, how much do I owe for this ticket?

Because he figures, you know, he's going to have to pay a hefty fine. And the online says you owe $1,480,038, and 52 cents. And he's like, whoa, hey, that can't be right. So he calls. And he says, hey, this might be a typo on this ticket that I have. it says I owe $1.4 million. And the lady says, no, sir, you either pay the amount on the ticket or you come to court on December 21st at

1.30 p.m. And he's like, whoa, okay. So apparently this price is a placeholder. It is not real. It is what they do when you are given a ticket that exceeds 35 miles an hour over the speed limit. So the judge sets the real fine, which legally can exceed $1,000 plus state mandated costs at the mandatory court appearance. And they say, hey, we don't issue that placeholder as a threat to scare anybody into court, even if this person heard differently from somebody in our organization.

Uh-huh. Right. Okay. Yeah, we don't do that to threaten anybody to come to court. Uh-huh. the programmers who designed the software use the largest number possible because super speeder tickets

are a mandatory court appearance and do not have a fine amount attached to them when issued by police. So instead of putting up when I go and check and it says mandatory court appearance, it says you owe a million dollars, a 1.4 million dollars. And this has been a problem.

They've been using the system since 2017. But now all of a sudden we're working on adjusting the placeholder language to avoid any confusion. Yeah, are you? Okay. Yeah. Luckily, luckily that you don't do that to threaten anybody or make them feel like, oh my gosh, what is going on? I have to go to court. No, that's exactly what you're doing.

Don't be silly. I was just, I never heard of it before. And so be careful. if you're speeding around Savannah, Georgia, and you get a speeding ticket, I'm sorry, a super speeding ticket, and you check online, and it says you owe $1,480,000, $38.52.

It's not real, but you do have to show up in court. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So another story that I'd never heard of before, although, you know, I could make it up, I guess. Nebraska funeral worker was busted last week after he had sex with a life-sized doll

that belonged to a dead man whose body he was tasked with Ryan, Ryan Smith, by the way, was arrested on charges of burglary, criminal trespassing, and tampering with physical evidence. And I find this, and he lost his gig. He was fired from the Omaha mortuary gig. Go figure. So he was sent with another man to go pick up the dead body of this man.

Okay, so the guy died of natural causes according to the reports. So there was no crime. There was no evidence to collect. The man died of natural causes. So he was working. You know, they remove and they transport and they take care of dead bodies. Okay. So apparently, he, when he was there,

picking up the guy, he saw the sex doll. Well, I say sex doll. He saw a life-sized doll. It doesn't say that it was a sex doll, but he saw a life-sized doll that he ended up having sex with. And he, when he was there picking up the dead body, and he went, oh, yeah, I got to get me some of that. No, don't play the music. I don't. No, no, no, that's fine. And so later that day, he calls the property manager back and says the sheriff's office. was sending him back to the unit to collect the dial so it could be swabbed for a biopsy. Now, the owner of the property manager shot that request down, which is weird. I don't know what, you know, what's it to you if somebody comes and picks up the doll.

So then he decided to hell. He weaseled his way back into the dead man's apartment. How did he do that? I don't know. The manager said, I stumbled upon the disturbing scene. while investigating noises coming from inside the unit, which was deadbolted, locked with a chain. So it wasn't at the time because he got back in there.

So he didn't break and enter. He just went back into it. And so then apparently, according to the manager of the apartment complex, he walked out and his clothing was disheveled. And he told me he was going to return with a warrant for the doll. And that's when I said, this is outrageous. I'm going to call the police department. And then the investigators showed up

and they noticed that several items inside the unit had been moved since their death investigation earlier in the day. Okay, well, the investigation was over. The guy was dead. It was natural causes. He was back in there just taking care of a little business with the doll.

And apparently now we're going to get a DNA request from the... So if it is... I mean, if it was one of those real dolls, those babies are pretty sweet. If it was just a blow-up doll, well, now you got a problem. If it was just a regular doll, dude, what are you doing? So I don't know.

I mean, I don't know what kind of mindset you have to be to, you know, go pick up a dead body first. That's a tough job anyway. You know, you've got to be in a right frame of mind to go pick up dead bodies for a funeral home. But that's a gig, and bless his heart, he's doing his job. But once you get there to the place where you're picking up the dead body, you look around and you need some of that and then you do okay so this is going to come as a surprise there are 16 federal government agencies and departments included in a gallop survey and they wanted to have people rate them for their job performance and receive you know what their positive job

performance is for the majority of americans oh okay so this is going to come as a shock to you but there's low ratings for these agencies. Right, I know. Unbelievable. So apparently, out of the 16, there are only four that had a positive job performance rating.

Number one, the United States Postal Service, 62%. It could be a lot better if I was on the Board of Governors or the Postmaster General. The Secret Service was at 55%, which weird. And the Department of Defense, 53%, NASA, 52%. So each are evaluated as excellent or good by more than half of U.S. adults.

So I was looking down at the list. All right, so we know the Postal Service is, you know, what did I say, 63% or whatever. And the Secret Service was 55%. Department of Defense was 55s. Department of Defense was 62% or something like that. But then you start getting down into the IRS was the lowest ranking department. No kidding. And that is at 30% is 32%.

Department of Justice. Wow, is 33%. That's, man, people do not like the Department of Justice. The EPA is at 34%. Federal Reserve Board is at 36%. I mean, yeah. The FDA is at 38%. State Department, 40%, CDC is at 41%.

Department of Homeland Security is at 42. FBI, wow, 46. CIA is at 46. The Federal Emergency Management, FEMA, is at 59%. Wow. Okay. All right, no, that's not 50. That's 49.

What am I thinking about? Yeah, they weren't over 50. These are all the ones that were not over 50. And then NASA, Department of Defense, Secret Service, and U.S. Postal Service were over 50%. So most of the departments, right, 11 of the 16 are underwater. Does that surprise you?

Because it really doesn't surprise me now that I think about it. And if you break it up between Democrat or Democratic-leaning Independent or Republican, Republican-Leaning, independent, the higher numbers for all of these deprecate on the Democrat, Democratic-leaning independent color. So, not sure what that says. I'm not going to break it down for you. You just take that whichever way you want. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink desperately. So I mentioned this this morning when I was on Pat Gray Unleashed in the Fat Five, which I'm doing Pat Gray onleashed every day as well, the Blaze Television and Radio Network this week.

But Best Buy is saying goodbye to the DVD and Blu-rays. Have a nice day. They're phasing out sales of the physical discs in early. 2024. And what does that mean? Yeah, we're going to sell some over the holidays and then we're done. Have a nice day. So if you want some DVDs or Blu-rays, now is the time to get them from Best Buy. So have a nice day. They say they've been working on this for, you know, nine or ten months. And so they are excited. I'm sure that they were bummed that Netflix beat them to the punch with a killing their mail DVD option. But they net Best Buy is. And I'm sure others will follow in line.

I still have some DVDs in Blu-rays that I watch. We have a couple machines here at the house. And then I'm, you know, it's because I don't own them digitally. I have so many DVDs. There's no point of me buying them digitally. Plus, then you've got the hard copy. It's just, it's hard to give them up. So, and now they're going to go away.

And pretty soon the machines are going to go away. And it's just going to be welcome to the new world. And part of our new world is that Minecraft, the game, has now sold over 300 million copies worldwide. So it is the best-selling game of all time. Congratulations to Minecraft. And as long as we're walking into the new world, let's talk about Netflix, as they will open retail locations with themed restaurants and live entertainment. No wonder they want to raise the price on my stream.

fee. They're preparing to make, they've done it before. They had the pop-up stores around the country, but now they want to open multiple brick and mortar locations. They claim they'll have two Netflix houses by 2025 and many more internationally soon thereafter. We've seen how much fans love to immerse themselves in the world of our movies and TV shows, and we've been thinking a lot about how we can take it to the next level. And the company's intention appears, you know, really ambitious. Yeah, no kidding. Oh, you mean like Disney and Disney store?

No, no, no, no, something completely different. So the Netflix houses are going to be, you know, obviously a fixed location. But they're talking about the experiences are going to rotate. So whatever show needs help or promotion, that's what will be, that's what to be going to the Netflix. House 4. So, I mean, that's kind of cool, actually. You have a different opportunity to have different experiences at the Netflix house. So look out. It's coming. It's on its way. Okay. Him talk about the new world. Let's talk about the new world, shall we? I see a report

where LinkedIn is laying off nearly 700 employees. The cuts were centered on the social network's core engineering team. I thought they lay off some people before, too. The latest cuts, yeah, representing 3% of their 20,000 member workforce come as the Microsoft-owned company's year-over-year revenue growth has slowed for eight straight quarters. And as even as the user base has ballooned. More than 950 million people on LinkedIn. So we've got the layoffs. And then we have the price of Girl Scout cookies going up. This is almost unbearable.

The Girl Scout cookies, of course, I know. everything is going up, right? The rising costs of bakeries that produce them. So the boxes of thin mints and the rest that cost $5 will now sell for $6 in many areas. In many areas, what do that mean? Some places will have it for a 7 or 8 or 550 or a 5. No, it's going to be $6 for everyone. Good luck with that. Now, that's the state of the world we're in. We've got layoffs. We got Girl Scout cookies going up at price. But then we have the Star Wars. X-Wing Fighter, which had been lost for decades. I think we talked about it here when they first found it, the X-Wing Fighter,

when it was going to go up for auction. It's the one that they used in filming the climatic space battle in A New Hope. And it was up for auction at Heritage Auctions, okay? And it was just a miniature 20-inch model of an X-Wing Starfighter that was used in the recording. All right. Now, that was just sold. okay

in auction this weekend for 3.1.35 million dollars that's the state of the world we're in we got LinkedIn laying off people we got girls got cookies raising prices and we got somebody paying over $3 million for a 20-inch model

of an ex-wing starfighter that is the American dream is alive and well isn't it isn't it? Well, sure, it is, unless you're in Iowa, where a small town in Iowa has now have a lawsuit against it filed in federal court

in the Southern District of Iowa. Noah Peterson says the town of Newton, Iowa, violated the first, fourth and 14th amendments when the police chief arrested him for speaking during the public comment period of a city council meeting. He's been arrested twice for criticizing the police department and saying it violates people's civil rights. And so now they're facing a lawsuit for violating his civil rights.

The mayor and the police chief had Noah arrested, jailed, strip searched, and criminally prosecuted simply because they didn't like what Noah had to say. I'll teach him. How about you shut your face over there, Noah? The suit, according to NOAA, is filed to vindicate the fundamental right to criticize the government without fear of retaliation and to ensure the constitutional accountability of government officials. That's a cute little thought. Man, remember when it used to be like that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he was prompted to speak at the town meeting on October 3rd last year in 2022 at the Newton City Council meeting.

and the officers, he had body cam footage, he was filming it, which I don't know why, what they think that people aren't filming this stuff. People film themselves in front of these stupid town halls every day just to get clicks. So Newton officers arresting, he was protesting because Newton officers arrested a college football player for driving under the influence, despite blowing a zero point zero zero on the breathalyzer and passing roadside sobriety test. He was taken to the police station for further drug tests, all of which came back negative before eventually being released. And he said, hello, this is my public comment for the city council meeting on October 3, 2022.

Defund Newton Police Department. They are violent civil and human rights violating organization who do not make your community safer. They are also pro-domestic abuse because they are currently employing a domestic abuser and choosing to not release the records about the domestic abusers. At this point, the mayor ordered Peterson to stop speaking. And then he was allowed to us three minutes, and his time had not expired. When he refused, the mayor ordered the police chief to remove Peterson for violating a council rule forbidding derogatory statements or comments about any other individual.

He was handcuffed, arrested, jailed, until his parents could come and post bond form. He returned to the next city council meeting to speak during the public comment period. And once again, they had him arrested. He called the police chief and the mayor fascist. I mean, they're just proving his point. He was charged both times with disorderly conduct for disrupting a lawful assembly, and so the charges didn't stick.

He was found not guilty of his disorderly conduct charge, adding to his victory, the judge overturned the rule, barring derogatory statements about individuals during city council meetings. As applied in this particular instance, the Newton City Council rule is a violation of the First Amendment. So now, I mean, it's just the police department and the mayor are proving this guy's point, 100%. So, I mean, just, I don't know how much money he's going to get from Newton, Iowa, if he wants any money at all. He probably does want to just defund the police and shut down the Newton Police Department.

And I don't blame him. If that's going on in Newton, Iowa, it makes one feel like, well, it could be an issue with the police. Police Department and the City Council and Mayor, don't you think? Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea.

but he is probably close to that uh he said uh you remember sam neal Jurassic park and the grown up Damien in the omen franchise he revealed that he has he is into a year long remission from a rare blood cancer angio immuboblastic T cell lymphoma will he eventually stopped working. And he said, I'm prepared for that. Wow. He's not afraid. And he, frankly, finds the whole matter annoying.

He said, despite his health challenges, which include treatments that feel like going 10 rounds with a boxer, retirement, the actor says it's completely out of the question. Oh, yeah, he doesn't want to retire. There you go. He wants to continue to work. 76 now. He had been diagnosed with his blood cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy, which really kicks the crap out of you. I have never had it. I have been around people who have gone through it

and we're going through it at the time and it's just it's an ugly process. Ugly ugly process. And they can never find a way to not make people go through chemotherapy. I'd be all for it. I mean, really, if you can find a way to do that and survive, make that happen because chemotherapy is no fun. And you can not quote me on that, by the way. Apparently he's working on this new memoir. Did I ever tell you this? Working on a book as given the actor his new perspective in his long career. I can't

tell you how privileged I am to spend that amount of time with so many actors, so many of whom I've really enjoyed and so many of whom I've really admired. So he knows that it's getting time that he's going to end up in the Who died today segment. But not yet.

Not yet. So I just wanted to tell you that he knows that it's coming. Don't we all, though? okay so did you know i was reading this story today and i did not know this uh staples according to their press release is the place to go where you get your school supplies and it's also your first stop for non-stop travel um you can register for tsa pre-check on site and this has been going out for some time staples has offered the service in 250 stores in the last five years and helped process 2.5 million pre-check applications in that time. That's pretty amazing. As the travel

landscape changed and shifted over the past several years, we want to meet our customers where they need us in order to alleviate the stress commonly associated with travel services. Wow. So whether you need to passport expedited, want a hassle-free way to sign up for TSA pre-check, or simply need to snap a few passport photos. We're here to support both leisure and business travelers in an increasingly major way. Staples. Wow. That's pretty amazing.

I did not know that. I wouldn't think Staples and TSA pre-check or passports. I just wouldn't, I don't know why I didn't put it together. It's been going on for, you know, several years now. So good luck. If you need to get your passport expedited or want to fill out a TSA pre-CHA. check, go to Staples. Yay!

And they probably don't care if you have hairy armpits or not. I see where a skincare product dove, and I use Dove products, I now use, you know, Quinn Pitman's Goat Soap, QPgoatsope.com, offer code Jeffie for 10% off or whatever he gives you off for your total purchases at QPgoatsope.com. But I see where a dove has launched an ad campaign called the pits of New York. The pits of New York. And it's going to be in the New York subway system. Every year for Fashion Week, they come up with some ad campaign that goes into the subway system.

You know, their main subway system where everybody travels so that they see it. And they get news on it. That's what they do. It's the most trafficked NYC subway systems. And that's they want people to see them and talk about them. it works. But now, so they've put up posters with factoids on the posters, and one of the factoids is six and ten of us admit to judging other women's armpits. Boy, that's, I would have ventured to say that it would be higher. If you were to ask me, hey, how many out of ten do you

think judge other women's armpits? I mean, nine out of ten, maybe eight out of ten, six intense seems it kind of low. And so anyway, the ad says, let's change that. Hashtag free the pits with dove. Now, they have different versions of the promotions included interchangeable, vaguely motivational phrases such as uncomfortable, she isn't, and care for your underarms, not what others think.

Yeah, don't worry about what others think of them, okay? Now, I get that we have this. stigma around other arms? Do we have a stigma around them? I guess. I don't know. You know, they want to challenge people for their preconceived notions of the body part

and together we can hashtag free the pits. Now, I will say that looking into just a little bit surface, it talks about how in 1915 in Harper's Bazaar advertisement they said

Women Hey, modern dancing and sleeveless dresses are the next best big thing So objectional hair is out Then a whole flood of anti-armip hair advertisements followed So then of course the razor companies You know, got involved And so in 1915, heading into the roaring 20s

I guess we would say That's when women really started shaving their armpits to look sexy and it worked. It worked. Who does? I mean, I know I'm supposed to, you know, we're changing the norms. And you want me to rid myself of my preconceived notions that the body part and does need to be shaved. So hashtag free the pits.

No, I'm not going to do it. I don't like it. I don't like it. I get it. And it's okay. You don't want to shave your armpits. You go ahead. you be you, boo,

but that doesn't mean I have to like it, okay? You could do whatever you want to do. I don't have to like it. And so I know the argument is, well, you was the last time you shaved your armpits? Well, you know, I don't remember shaving my armpits,

maybe once or twice because of surgeries or something, but, you know, regularly, I do not shave my armpits. However, do I want that out of the females in my life? I do not. And I know, I get it. I know it's a preconceasing.

Not an A receive notion. I get it. And, uh, you know, sorry. But to see the ad campaign and to see hairy armpits, uh, how about no. No, thank you. But keep those pits clean with the Quinn's goat soap at QPgoatsoop.com. You hear me? With MX 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. Conditions apply.

You have won the battle. because you convince me that it's real. So, John, and I'm not using your last name because John, bless your heart. I love you.

Thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat. And I mean that with all my heart. Says, Jeffie, I've only been listening to CTF for a short while. Okay. So that means that he possibly, this could be for real. Okay? He might not know the story. I'm going to have to tell him.

But before the 40th anniversary, comes and goes later this month. Wait, so this was sent. Yeah, October, the end of the month is the anniversary. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so this was sent on Sunday, 10, 15th. And the anniversary is the end of this month for Operation Urgent Fury when we went into Grenada. And Grenada, Grenada, and saved the Western Hemisphere from communism.

So I want to make sure to thank you for your service to our nation for participating in Operation Urgent Fury. Thank you so much for your bravery, helping to keep communism from spreading in this hemisphere. At the time of the invasion, I was too young to join the military, but I joined later at the end of the 1980s, due mostly to being inspired by the exploits of Cold War warriors like yourself. I'm sure many of the American medical...

I'm sure many of the Americans' medical students you helped rescue from Grenada have become wonderful doctors today, providing critical health care and saving their lives of countless citizens of our great nation. they'll all have people like you to thank one day if i'm ever in the dallas fort worth area it would be an honor to personally shake your hand and buy you a beer in the meantime i'll continue being a subscriber to cdf god bless you sincerely james okay so and the name at the top is john but the name at the bottom is james so maybe that's where i should have got the hint that this isn't real as i read it out loud i'm thinking

no way this is real okay so first thing you first thing I started years ago making the joke that I had been in Grenada Urgent Fury because nobody knew anyone in urgent Fury. Nobody knows anyone that ever served in Operation Urgent Fury. They just don't.

We've had one person, one person in 25 years, 30 years tell me, oh yeah, I was over there, Jeff, this is what we saved communism, and he was okay with me saying I was part of it because I'm just joking. I'm not taking stolen valor. I would never do stolen valor.

I'm sorry. It's just a joke to me to laugh. But if you're serious about this, bless your heart. I love you. Thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat. But I never was. I never was there. I wasn't part of it.

So if you're pulling my leg, I love you for this because you won. That's awesome. Because I believed I read it. And I was like, oh, man, I have to address this. because I don't want John or James, whichever it is, thinking I actually was there because I hope that when I use it as, you know, saying I was part of Operation Urgent Fury and Grenada,

it's used in a comical way because no one knows anyone that was ever there. In fact, my father-in-law, who is a veteran from the Vietnam War, was at a meeting, some meeting with other military members, and he met a man who had a grenade a pin on his jacket. And he said to him, oh, that's the grenade a pin. My son-in-law was there. Because nobody knows anybody that was there.

So if you were serious, dude, thank you. I appreciate it. And bless your heart, but I wasn't there. But if you were pulling my leg, you bastard. All right, I'll leave you with a thought joke of the day. Okay, just something to get you through the day. The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have started asking humans to prove they aren't a robot. Think about it.
