Okay, we know now that a female staff member of
Starting point is 00:00:40 Barack Obama has been revealed to be the second person with Chef Tafari Campbell when he drowned while paddleboarding in Edgar Town's Great Pond near the former president's Martha's Vineyard's estate last month. Now, the woman who was claimed she was with Campbell on a separate board, desperately tried to reach Campbell after he fell in the water, but was forced to return to the shore to call for help. Sources told the outlet that it was a secret service agent who then called emergency services, although we don't know that.
Starting point is 00:01:20 We're just getting that from sources. Now, the witnesses spoke with investigators on shore. According to the investigators, they were lucid and clear and showed no signs of intoxication. Interesting. That's interesting. So the call came in at 7.46 p.m. with emergency services responding to a report
Starting point is 00:01:44 that a 45-year-old Obama employee had fallen off his board into the water, briefly struggled to stay afloat, and then went under. Huh. Okay. So then, they couldn't find him. And they searched all night with divers,
Starting point is 00:02:04 boats, ground searches to see if he'd climbed aboard somewhere around the pond. I mean, we just, we don't know. I mean, it was a pond, he was paddleboard, and we know he can swim. And it's like eight feet of water on this pond. And I'm sorry, the man drowned.
Starting point is 00:02:21 And I'm sorry for the wife and the kids. It's got to be tough. No question. Horrible. But I guess they looked all night, couldn't find him. So then the Massachusetts Environmental Police came and deployed side scan a sonar.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Okay, so we're in a pond. The guy fell off the paddleboard. We can't find him. And now we're bringing in side scan sonar. I wonder if that had anything to do with it being on the former president's property. Oh, no, never mind. I don't know what I was thinking.
Starting point is 00:02:57 So they finally found him. 100 feet from shore in 8 feet of water. That's the death of Tafari Campbell, the ex-chief, well, now former chef of the Obamas. And Martha's Vineyard, he was the chef at the White House. They loved him so much. He was so much part of the family. They brought him with him when they left the White House.
Starting point is 00:03:19 And so, I mean, I don't know. It's a strange story. You couldn't hold him up with the paddle. the lady couldn't hold him up with a paddle. He was in the muck of the pond. If you're a swimmer, aren't you trying to survive? I mean, unless, of course, they don't mention it in the story, but it's possible maybe he was tied to that 500-pound piece of concrete.
Starting point is 00:03:49 I had a difficult time coming up from that eight feet of water with that piece of concrete tied around his feet. That'd be difficult for anyone. Good swimmer or non-swimmer. It'll be tough for anyone. But I don't. It doesn't say that in the story. I am just guessing.
Starting point is 00:04:05 That's what made it so difficult to come up from eight feet of water. Oh, really weird. But you know what? I believe it all. I believe it all. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Welcome to chewing the fat. So in Atlanta, mom, I guess she identifies, as a female, said that she enjoys being pregnant so much, that she's leasing out her womb for $40,000. I just want you to know that I love being pregnant so much, that I'm renting out my womb, my personal womb, the chewing the fat, Jeff Fisher personal womb for $40,000. You can have it for $40,000. It's yours for nine months, okay?
Starting point is 00:05:00 It's all yours for nine months. So Y-S-S-E-N-I-A-L-T-R-E-S-E-N-I-A-Latori, 26, has delivered three babies so far, two of which were her own and one as a surrogate. So she's only made like 40 grand. The two, she won't have to pay for the other two that's hers. She was hoping to grow her family when she's ready, but now she's renting out her womb to help others who can't get pregnant.
Starting point is 00:05:29 She's a helper. I'm planning to be a surrogate again very soon. I can't wait to do this again. You know, good for her. That's a good gig. And if you can't have a child, you know, you really want one. You know, give a yes, any call
Starting point is 00:05:43 and let her, or me, because I'm renting out my womb as well. You probably have a better chance to having a kid going with her. But I'm still up for it. Hundreds of women have reached out for advice. said how to become a surrogate
Starting point is 00:06:01 and over a hundred families have reached out in the hopes that she can make their dreams of starting a family come true. That's what she needs to do is start the Latori Womb Service company. Yassina, Inc.
Starting point is 00:06:18 And just rent out wombs. I'll put you in touch with the right womb for the, you know, for your baby. And that will cost you well, I get a finder's fee of $5,000 and then you can pay them
Starting point is 00:06:35 $35,000. And if you want me to be the womb, that's $40,000 up front. That's a good idea. Couldn't I just tell them myself? Yeah, they wouldn't know where to look. You need me. You need Yassina Inc.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Right? Yassina Nia. Yassanania. I know that's wrong. I know that's not how she pronounced. is her name. Y. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Just yes. Yes, Inc. Yes. Inc. is her name. That's, uh, find a, hi, I'm yes.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Do you need a baby? We have a womb. Yes, Inc. So good luck. Good luck to, yes. We're breaking in some cash. 40 grand.
Starting point is 00:07:20 40 grand a baby. Oh, man, you're starting by, by about six months you're thinking. All right. Let's get out of here. here get another kid in me.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Gotta find a way to have the six-month pregnancies instead of the nine-month pregnancies. Because that's 40 grand a year, really. I mean, really, it's only 40 grand a year, right? She could take it up front, I guess, have some extra cash, but for nine months, and now I'm thinking that 40 grand isn't enough. I'm thinking maybe yes, Inc needs to up it a little bit.
Starting point is 00:07:51 We've upped our game. Now, up yours, yes, Inc. We're the womb for you. I like it. All right, let's continue on up to East Coast and go to New York, shall we? If you're in New York or planning on visiting New York, remember that when you order takeout, be sure to specify you want forks, spoons,
Starting point is 00:08:17 and whatever condiments you need for your meal. Because it is now against the law for restaurants just to give you utensils and condomate packets and napkins and extra containers because you can't do it. That's from the Department of Sanitation. Oh, okay. And delivery and courier services may not provide these items unless they are requested by the customer.
Starting point is 00:08:53 So we're going to have the napkin police. showing up that's an awesome gig right there man skip the stuff law which was signed into law from mayor eric adams saying that this is going to uh take care of a 40 billion dollars of plastic utensils that are discarded in the u.s every day well the u.s and new york city are two different things. So I'd like to see what the actual plastic utensils discarded cost in New York is. But, okay, so you've convoluted the U.S. and the New York, and NYC. I got you. And they want to, you know, reduce the amount of unnecessary plastic and other items that food establishments give to customers. I hate that. Would food establishments try to give me stuff? I hate it. No. I didn't
Starting point is 00:09:51 ask for it, okay? I don't want your extra packet of ketchup, especially if it's not Heinz, but I don't want your extra packet of mustard, okay? And they will go back to the U.S. again. In the U.S., over 100 million plastic utensils are used daily, and some
Starting point is 00:10:07 analysts estimate, some analysts estimate Americans waste $40 billion a year. Okay, so that's again, that's not New York. Everyone should just do their part, Jeff. all right so I'm just telling you
Starting point is 00:10:23 and I will say in the story that I'm reading from the New York Post the ketchup packets that they show are hinds so good because they usually you know a lot of those restaurants in New York not that I've ever ordered from them give you the boozy generic packets
Starting point is 00:10:40 of ketchup and that's why you have to keep the bottle of ketchup in your work refrigerator at all times for your takeout and so you know save these I'm saving the earth by having my own plastic bottle of mines at work. Now Boston, let's head up on it, Boston, okay, news out of Boston.
Starting point is 00:10:57 The Boston mayor has now put a new racial and economic justice leadership in her mayorship. She, I'm guessing she goes by she, Michelle Wu, announced that she's banning fossil fuels. They've got fossil fuels gone In city-owned buildings In new city-owned buildings Yeah I guess she's not knocking down
Starting point is 00:11:28 All the old buildings She's teaming up with the city's director Of the Green New Deal The Executive Order Oh it doesn't even a law It's just an executive order From the mayor We will eliminate the use of fossil fuels
Starting point is 00:11:43 In new construction And major renovations of city buildings Oh, okay The goal is accelerating climate action by requiring that all new municipal buildings and major renovations operate without fossil fuels. Huh. They're going to reduce emissions from Boston's building sector while creating high-quality jobs, improving public health and quality of life, and advancing racial and economic justice. Man, that's going to do a lot by banning fossil fuels, isn't it? So all new buildings in the city must be planned, designed, and constructed using non-combustion for cooking, stoves and ovens and hot water apparatuses.
Starting point is 00:12:32 What is? We're doomed. They claim that recent weather means there isn't much time to make quick political changes. I know. This extreme heat and storms and flooding that remind us of a closing window to. take climate action does it so the benefits of embracing fossil fuel-free infrastructure in our city hold no boundary across industries and communities and boston will continue using every possible tool to build the green clean healthy and prosperous future of our city and what it deserves
Starting point is 00:13:11 so you in boston uh have fun living in your uh Non-fossil fuel buildings. I would say it's going to be a tent, but no. That's modern petro technology. So you can't use living a tent. I would say cardboard. Nope, that's modern technology too. So what are you going to?
Starting point is 00:13:32 I guess you're just using, you're going to build a tree fort out of trees and limbs, right? And so you're just going to live under that. That will look great. And you will feel so darn comfortable. Oh, man. There is nothing. Nothing like waking up to the smell of pine and then pulling the pine needles out of your ass.
Starting point is 00:13:53 I just, I can't, I can't. No, seriously, I can't. Stop looking at me, I can't. Let's go to the break room, all right? I need something cold to drink desperately. And no one won the mega millions. So we've got a new drawing on the 4th of August, two days from now. If you're listening live, today is the second of August.
Starting point is 00:14:23 So the new drawing, there was no winner for the $1.05, a billion jackpot. So on the fourth, $1.25 billion jackpot for the $625.3 million cash payout. Let's pause for a second. Think how happy you're going to be when I win that for me. Okay. And then, of course, you have the Powerball, which is tonight, by the way. And I mean, but it's still, it was the same as yesterday, $95 million and $48.1 million. Now, if you're the mega millions, you spit on the powerball.
Starting point is 00:15:08 But for $48.1 million cash payout, I mean, you're going to get a new car. You're getting a new car. And you're good. I see where they came out with the, they showed off the new Range Rover. because I see that the I think it might have been yesterday yeah August 1st 1951
Starting point is 00:15:26 the 72nd birthday of the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser so last night they introduced the new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser
Starting point is 00:15:44 I didn't call it Land Cruiser what did I call it? Oh yeah Rangerover Yeah same thing And no, it's not Jeff. Yeah, same thing. So I guess there's, you know, according to all the lovers, I mean, there's something about getting behind the wheel of a land cruiser that is just great.
Starting point is 00:16:00 It's iconic. Okay. It is. It's been all kinds of movies and all kinds of shows. And it's wonderful. I saw the video of the new land cruiser. And, man, woof, it is awesome. Just beautiful.
Starting point is 00:16:18 So if you. You want to go ahead, get out there, take a look at the old new Toyota Land Cruiser. You go right ahead. You know who needs a new Land Cruiser is Lizzo. Maybe you need a Land Cruiser without a roof, really. But I see Lizzo's production company, big girls, big tour, and Girls is G-R-R-R-L-L-S, is accused of not acting with regard to complies. complaints made by the dancers about treatment and harassment.
Starting point is 00:16:55 They're also accused of perpetuating a toxic work environment. Lizzo? Stop it. No way. In the suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court in July, back of July, way back in July, plaintiffs, Crystal Williams, Arianna Davis, and Noel Rodriguez claimed they were victims of sexual, racial, racial, and religious harassment, assault, false imprisonment, and disability discrimination in addition to other allegations.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Aha! I mean innocent before guilty. Okay. So Lizzo and her big girls tour, big production company are not guilty. They've only been accused of this. Okay. So Big Girls Touring Inc.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Along with Shirleyne Quigley, who is Lizzo's dance team captain and judge on her Amazon series, Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Girls. I have not seen any of the Lizzo's watch out for the big girls. I apologize. I'm sorry. On behalf of all the chewing-the-fat listeners, I apologize. I will watch at least one episode in the coming days
Starting point is 00:18:16 so that I have one under my belt. Lizzo's watch out for the big girls are named as defendants and though all the allegations don't pertain to each of them and they break them up so the BGBT management treated the black members of the dance
Starting point is 00:18:35 team differently than other members the BGBT's management team consisted almost entirely of white Europeans who often accused the black members of the dance team of being lazy, unprofessional, and having bad attitudes.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Not only these words ring familiar as tropes used to disparage and discourage black women from advocating for themselves, but the same accusations were not levied against dancers who are not black, okay? Now, you think Lizzo would be sticking up and saying, hey, what are you doing? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:19:13 That can't happen here. Well, Lizzo, the dancers, claim strongly preferred the dance cast not take other jobs between tours so they wouldn't get paid but I don't want you working for anybody else okay, you're my dancers. So they worked out a deal
Starting point is 00:19:29 where the dancers would get 50% of their weekly tour rate. That's great. But when that happened, now the dancers say that they were berated because of that and treated like crap because they were on the payroll all the time.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Okay. Shirley and Quigley, the dance team captain, is accused of berating and much more. Oh, man, it sounds like fun at the big girls, big troupe tour, fun Lizzo party touring the world with Lizzo. Because she looks like she's a really nice person. No, really. She looks like you want to hang out with her. Seriously. No, she does. like a fun group of people to be around.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Now the plaintiffs are requesting a jury trial. So we'll see if they work out a deal or not. Who knows? I mean, they're talking about berating dancers who were engaged in premarital sex. What?
Starting point is 00:20:38 Isn't that what? Lizzo also acted acting out sex acts at making sexually explicit comments. they kept tabs on the virginity of these girls sing okay so I mean these people are just bad people if true
Starting point is 00:20:57 if true I would say if Lizzo posts for a job opening on LinkedIn just scroll past it and they were also talking about how Lizzo was fat shaming people Lizzo was I'm sorry they didn't say fat shaming they said weight shaming people so she knows she needs
Starting point is 00:21:20 you know the dancers to be I don't know less fat than her you know they're pretty thick dancers anyway but they're Lizzo's dancers so they need to be in some sort of shape so that you look at the dancers and go
Starting point is 00:21:35 well they're not bad when you see Lizzo I mean that if you were to walk into a bar and there were five women there one of them was Lizzo the other four were her dancers now you go
Starting point is 00:21:48 Oh, there's Lizzo. She's the star. Let me talk to these girls. That's just the way it would be. Anyway, I can't get over the whole Lizzo thing. I mean, it just sounds like such a whole terrible environment to be involved in. Follow me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR or X. I'm sorry, I apologize. I didn't mean to dead name Twitter.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Follow me on X at Jeffrey JFR. You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can follow me on my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat, with Jeff Fisher. You can always email the show. Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. You can always order a cameo from me at Jeffrey JFR on Cameo. Camio is my pimp, so you just, you know, whatever you just order. Want me to be happy, glad, bad, sad, mean.
Starting point is 00:22:31 Want me to break up with someone? Want me to quit your job for you. Whatever, I'll do it. I talked about it yesterday. I still can't get over it. I have not done that. I have not told someone I want to divorce. I've not told someone I want to break up.
Starting point is 00:22:45 And I've not told someone that I'm quitting. But apparently people are doing that on Cameo. What could I tell you? What can I tell you? When the pimp tells you what to do, that's what you do. So, at Jeffrey JFR on Twitter. Did you see where Taco Bell was hit with a proposed class action lawsuit, claiming the chain advertised its Mexican pizzas and crunch wraps
Starting point is 00:23:14 as having more than double the fillings, they actually do. What? That's like saying their pictures. Pictures. Look at the pictures of these hamburgers we see on TV. They don't look like that when they come to me
Starting point is 00:23:32 through the drive-through window. So apparently this guy was not happy that the Mexican pizza he paid $5.49 for at a Taco Bell in New York City last September appeared to contain only half as much beef and bean filling as the photo in the cheese. chains advertising. I knew it.
Starting point is 00:23:50 That's exactly what it is. So we're so, we have to be the photos. I mean, even the Chinese restaurants have the fake photos of their dishes up on the wall behind the counter. You know you, that's not what it's going to be like.
Starting point is 00:24:05 They're just telling you that's the dish. Come on now. Come on. So this proposed class action here now proposed, I'm going to do a class action unless you settle with me give me money.
Starting point is 00:24:19 So according to this, Taco Bell, according to this man, Frank Siragusa, that he has accused Taco Bell of deceiving consumers by falsely advertising that the Mexican pizza, the veggie Mexican pizza, the CrunchRap Supreme, the Grande Crunch Wrap, and the vegan crunch wrap
Starting point is 00:24:39 is containing at least double their actual content. No, what they contain is their content. Frank, I don't know if you know that. What's in them? That's their content. Okay. Now, it might look different than the photo, but what's in them is the content.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Oh my gosh. The photos. Here's the thing. The photos showed food bursting with beef, cheese, and bright red and green vegetables. Just supposed with the actual photos of smaller, less vibrant food
Starting point is 00:25:11 that other customers posed a line. Okay, we are doomed. If you, I mean, Taco Bell, I want in on the class action, because I'm pissed now too. I'm pissed now too. Their food doesn't look like the pictures. We have to class action, Wendy's, we've got a class action. McDonald's, we've got a class action, steak and shake, although there's not very many of those left.
Starting point is 00:25:41 We've got a class action, Burger King. I want them all. With class action, I'm all. every Chinese restaurant in America We need a class action If you've got the The generic Chinese dinner plates menu up on the back wall
Starting point is 00:25:56 Yeah that's part of the class action That's a lie Now your food doesn't look like that So if you expect Your food To look like the commercial Well I don't know
Starting point is 00:26:11 And later in the story They talk about this where his attorneys already have cases against McDonald's and Wendy's. Thank you. Why is my name not on these lawsuits? Oh my gosh. These companies should be telling us false pictures. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:33 So when I go to Taco Bell and I order a taco, I expect it to look just like the taco that I get. Do you? do you really do you expect that because if you do you need to get over yourself because it's not going to happen okay all right i just we're in a very strange situation but if i'm part of the lawsuit though i'm in i'm in those bastards boarding for flight 246 to toronto is delayed 50 minutes oh what sounds like ojo time play ojo great idea feel the fun with all the latest and live casino games and with no wagering requirements.

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close to you, call 1-866531-2-60 or visit comexonterio.ca.
Starting point is 00:27:50 So a recent study from Cedar's Sinai Hospital shows the number of heart attack deaths during the first two years of the COVID pandemic was 30% higher than predicted. A Dr. Sealing Gounder, editor at large for Public Health at Kaiser Health News and a CBS News medical contributor, was part of a discussion that talked about how the deaths, the heart attack deaths, were 30% higher than predicted.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Now, don't go thinking that you know what caused that. Okay, don't do that. Don't look at me like that. Don't put your finger up to your face like that because it's not that. All right. It didn't have anything to do with that. The only thing that had to do with that is that it was in the timeline of when it was going on. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Wow. You people, man. Henrietta Lacks. You ever heard her name before? Well, yesterday her family settled a lawsuit for the use of her bodily tissue without her consent or knowledge. All right. In 1951, Lax, a black woman in Maryland,
Starting point is 00:29:06 was treated for cervical cancer at Johns Hopkins Hospital, where doctors took cells from her tumor without her knowledge, famously dubbed the Gila cells. Her tissue allowed for numerous breakthroughs in modern medicine, including vaccines for polio and COVID. Her family did not know the tissue given to research until decades later and was never compensated. So they sued the biotech company that used her cells.
Starting point is 00:29:39 And now her estate reached a settlement on what would have been LAC's 103rd birthday. Now, they didn't release what the settlement was. I'm sure that they're both happy with the settlement. of the biotechnology giant thermo-fisher scientific said that blacks who was 31-year-old black woman undergoing surgery
Starting point is 00:30:07 for cervical cancer of course it was then it was the then segregated hospital yeah okay we got it was 1951 so according to this they have since been used her cells have since been used in over 75,000 studies. Wow. So
Starting point is 00:30:28 Lacks and her family didn't even know until the 70s. Now they reached an agreement in 2013 with the National Institutes of Health that gave them a little bit of control over how LAC's genome is used but did not grant the right to potential earnings from future research. So now they've worked a deal with Thermo Fisher. I'm sure they're sitting pretty and deservedly so in fact it should be the thermo fisher lax scientific company that's just incredible that i mean but i'm happy that henrietta lax was on this
Starting point is 00:31:09 planet and i'm happy that doctors realized hey we're going to use your stuff to solve some things but i mean they should have told her henrietta uh we're going to take a sample from you yeah don't worry about it. We're just going to cut a big chunk out of you. And we're going to walk it down the hall and use it. Okay. Okay, good. Thank you. Here's five bucks. That's all I would have taken. But no, we had to fool them. So now it's, I'm sure that the settlement is what?
Starting point is 00:31:38 Probably more than five bucks. I don't know if the Chinese labs in California are using a tissue from Henriette or not. I don't know. But I know that one California lab, they said, was filled with nearly one illegal bioengineered
Starting point is 00:31:56 mice. Huh. Isn't that interesting? The company, the court documents describe as having empty offices or addresses in
Starting point is 00:32:06 China and could not be verified prestige biotech. So they're working to analyze the spread of COVID and see if test kits were accurate. Okay. So the officials
Starting point is 00:32:21 euthanize the mice in just. lie. The questions about the company remain. Who really operates it? What exactly were they trying to achieve? And whether there are other labs out there like it? I think we all know the answer to every
Starting point is 00:32:35 one of those questions. Wow. No kidding. Who do you think really operates it? I don't know. What exactly was it trying to achieve? I don't know. And were there any other labs out there like it?
Starting point is 00:32:51 I don't know. I mean, holy cow, we are. We are doomed. So the reason that they found this place is because there was a hose connected to the building that wasn't supposed to be there. A secret lab in Fresno. Okay. So I guess they're officials. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:33:18 The hose police in California came out and they went, hey, you know. I don't think that hose is supposed to be there. You know, we got a, who's not supposed to be hooked up to that building. Well, correct. And it was part of the den used to test hundreds of mice and other substances with at least 20 disease agents, including HIV, herpes, e coli, malaria.
Starting point is 00:33:44 And apparently they were also working to try to make COVID more transmissible. So, all because of a, I don't think that's a hose is supposed to be there. That's how we find it. Man, of course there's not another one in the country. Of course there's not. Don't be silly. And I don't know about that lab, but of course we have the other labs that are opening up the roundworm.
Starting point is 00:34:13 You know, the female roundworm that was 46,000 years old in suspended animation deep in the Siberian, permafrost. Yeah, we went ahead and brought that back to life. How about no? The Philip Schiefer, group leader at the Institute for Zoology at the University of Cologne, and one of the authors of the study, such work may reveal more about how at a molecular level animals can adapt as habitat shift because of soaring global temperatures and changing weather patterns. We need to know how species adapted to the extreme. No, well, they, how they adapted, they froze. It froze. They froze. We don't need to bring them back to life.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Okay, we don't, I don't want them back to life. Sorry, don't want to do it. Don't want to do it. So by sequencing the genome of this Rip Van Winkle roundworm, they've revealed a new species of nematode, which is described in the study, published Thursday in the journal of PLOS genetics, and I do not miss my copies of PLOS genetics. Neumatodes today are among the most ubiquitous organisms on Earth, inhabiting the soil, the water, and the ocean floor. The vast majority of nematode species have not been described. The ancient Siberian worm could be a species that has since
Starting point is 00:35:49 gone extinct. But we need to bring it back to life anyway. So let's just bring it back to life. That's all. But hey, don't you hook up a hose to the building that doesn't belong there. You hear me? With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel
Starting point is 00:36:20 and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. If you haven't heard, a Fred grand jury in D.C. indicted Donald Trump again.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Or at least Donald Trump was indicted again. Maybe not in D.C. But they are indicting him for conspiracy to fraud, witness tampering, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights of citizens. So that's great. That's great. Now, the judge in the case is an Obama appointee. and she will oversee this latest indictment.
Starting point is 00:37:06 She also spent time at the same law firm where Hunter Biden was employed. And she also has sent multiple January 6 defendants to jail. So, yay! Speaking of Hunter Biden, they are laying the groundwork now. I mean, it's all going to be on him. they are throwing dad is not going to take the fall for any of it it's going to be hunter taking the fall and i love you hunter and you're my son you're probably the smartest guy i know but gosh darn it uh you just have to keep your mouth shut go to prison and shut up okay and everything will be fine
Starting point is 00:37:50 everything will be fine don't worry about it but uh just you know as i told you over and over again okay you're not bow so just take the fall and he did he and Joe Biden our president he did finally acknowledge Navy as his grandchild the seventh grandchild
Starting point is 00:38:10 amazing we found out though that you know they came out last week they issued a statement at the end of last week saying I don't know something blah blah blah and they admitted that he had the seventh grandchild well on Wednesday of last week
Starting point is 00:38:25 he recorded a podcast where he said he had seven grandchildren So they knew, the podcast wasn't released until this week. So they knew that it was going to be coming out. Because I don't know, maybe they couldn't say edit that out. They couldn't say, hey, podcaster who has already bent the knee to interview Joe Biden. Maybe you take that out.
Starting point is 00:38:52 But no. And so it was time to acknowledge that Navy exists. That's all you're going to get. Okay. You're not going to get anything else. Hunter's given your mommy a bunch of money. He even gave her some artwork that's going to be worth untold fortunes. And so you just zip it down there in Arkansas or Alabama or wherever the hell you're at, okay?
Starting point is 00:39:17 Huh. Tiger Woods is joining the PGA Tours Board. So the tour commissioner, Jay Monaghan, who I guess he's still the commissioner? after that whole live thing I don't know I know that he after it first went down Monahan was like I'm sick
Starting point is 00:39:36 I can't be around right now so you know he needed some way to win back players and I guess he did it as if Tiger is going to be part of the board I mean if you're Tiger why not right you are the PGA
Starting point is 00:39:52 hello or you're certainly a big part of it and so he's going to be on the board of directors. He's going to serve this article. He's going to serve as the voice for disgruntled players, is he? Is he? Is he? Is he? Is that what Tiger's there for?
Starting point is 00:40:08 Okay. All right. According to Monaghan, he has my confidence moving forward with these changes. Oh. Oh, okay. Woods gave his endorsement to Monaghan. Man, they got, Liv is just, you're going to have move on. PGA is going to have to move on.
Starting point is 00:40:24 It's the Live thing. And we're just have to move on from that. Really incredible. really incredible. So I see where, and also another great big sports story, okay, so Tiger is going to be on the PGA Tours board, right? So, I mean, that's a pretty big deal. I see where the Super Bowl, Nickelodeon and CBS, just announced that they're going to have a separate Nickelodeon broadcast of the Super Bowl,
Starting point is 00:40:50 like they do on Thanksgiving. You know, you'll get the slime test on the Super Bowl. Wow. It's a kids and family-centric surprise-filled special presentation of the Super Bowl LVII. Eye-I-I-I-Popping on-field graphics, guest reporters, and they're going to have to step up their game because that Thanksgiving game. Everybody likes the slimes and stuff, but the announcers, oh, I guess maybe they're Nickelodeon stars, but they were not. was going back and forth. I was checking it out. Okay. So we'll see. That's pretty incredible, though, that the NFL is going to give up their
Starting point is 00:41:35 the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl. And they're going to let it be broadcast on a separate network at the same time on television? Okay. All right. Maybe it's going to be just, I don't know, let's see. Telecast will be distributed it internationally, the UK, Australian, New Zealand, on a delayed basis. additional details on the Nickelodeon Super Bowl telecast including programming production and announcers will be revealed later so you may get it here in the U.S. live
Starting point is 00:42:08 but you're not getting anywhere else live and I'll be damned if you're going to you may end up going over to the game I mean you're going to be behind or maybe they try to catch up I don't know how they do that because they can't if they're going to do it there's no way they can do a separate broadcast like that in year one of our new long-term deal with the NFL,
Starting point is 00:42:33 we continue to maximize our expanded distribution rights and further unlock the value of the league through the demonstrated power of our multi-platform portfolio across CBS, Paramount Plus, and Nickelode. That sounds good, doesn't it? That sounds like corporate BS. Thanks, Bob Backish, president and CEO of Paramount, you know, we continue to maximize our expanded distribution rights and further unlock the value of the league through the demonstrated power of our multi-platform portfolio across
Starting point is 00:43:08 CBS, Paramount Plus, and Nickelodeon. And this really isn't a joke of the day, but it just is a, I don't know, mind-boggling thing of the day. So yesterday, I forgot to congratulate or remember the anniversary. of the launch of MTV. Yesterday, the launch of MTV in 1981. The launch of MTV. Now, I don't personally remember the launch of MTV.
Starting point is 00:43:46 I loved MTV. It was so cool at the time. This is cutting-edge stuff, man. And their first ever video, obviously, Video killed the radio star. And they, there's, you know, they had facts of what was, what's happened over the years for MTV. Oh, 25 things you didn't know about MTV. And so it was really cool.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Well, the one thing that I saw was they were talking about how the launch of MTV was closer to Pearl Harbor than we are to the launch. to the launch of MTV today.
