Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
More than 30,000 pounds of pecan, is it pecan or pecan, pecan, nut products have been designated as the highest risk level by food inspectors and are being recalled.
Navarro Pecan Holdings LLC, based in Texas, has issued a voluntary recall.
out of an abundance of caution, I'm sure.
32,670 pounds of pecan products due to concerns about potential salmonella contamination.
Right.
So the products listed below were distributed to both commercial and retail distributors across five states, Texas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and New Jersey.
were also distributed internationally to Italy,
Netherlands, United Arab Emirates.
I mean, do we care about those?
Anyway, and the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration said that we're going to classify this
as a Class 1 recall because there's a severe risk
of people having effects from these salmonella poisoning on these pecans.
And there is a long list, as I mentioned,
a long list of items below.
we got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fifteen, fifteen, fifteen, sixteen, sixteen, sixteen, seventeen, sixteen, seventeen, sixteen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty two, twenty two, twenty, twenty, twenty, twenty, twenty, twenty, I mean, more than thirty, more than thirty, more than thirty, uh, medium pecan and large pecan and jumbo pecans and topper pecans.
A morse phallus.
Yeah, they're all being recalled, okay, they all, they all get possibility of some in
and sickness, you don't want them.
So if you know that you have purchased these pecans,
and that starts happening, you may want to seek medical attention.
However, as dangerous as this is, there have been no current reports of illnesses
to this recall.
So, we may have dodged a bullet.
We may have dodged a bullet, but it's better safe than sorry, isn't it?
So watch yourself, because I'm telling you,
you open up a bag of fancy pecans,
and the next thing you know, you're...
No, you're not dead.
No, no, you're not dead.
Thank you.
Holy cow.
I don't want people to die from it,
although they could, which is why it's number one recall.
Welcome.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
As I'm scrolling through the social media sites yesterday, I come across a question on X.
And the question is, where are you hiding it?
Question mark, question mark.
And then there's a screenshot of you have 30 minutes to hide a USB drive in your house.
Your house will then be rated by police, detectives and some FBI agents all searching for the USB.
where do you hide it so that it won't be found?
Originally, I'm thinking, that's a good question.
I'm thinking about that.
And then I think to myself, I'm not answering that online.
What are we even doing?
But I was looking at some of the replies to that particular post.
Just put it in a folder labeled Epstein Client List.
It will be invisible.
I already put a nameplate on my desk, Pam Bondi,
so no Fed will ever find anything on my desk.
Oh, thank you, thank you.
Now, my favorite reply, I think, is a nice try, bot.
Right.
Nice try, Fed bot.
Okay, we got it.
But then I was thinking, where would you hide a thumb drive?
If that scenario was correct.
you know it might be something worth thinking about
oh I don't have anything to hide
okay all right
let's say tomorrow your best friend comes up to you and says
hey here's a thumb drive I need you to hold this for me
and then then you find out he calls you and says
hey I think the feds are going to found out that
I may have given you the thumb drive hide it
they're going to they're going to search your house tomorrow
or tonight or in two hours
you know hide it
what do you do
where do you hide it
and I will say
this is not my place of hiding
I would never hide it here
but I did see one person post
answering it like they shouldn't
is
you know how you when your door opens
and say like your bedroom or closet or whatever
your door opens
and so you go inside and you close the door
in that corner
the corner of the door
you tear back the carpeting a little bit,
that's where you put the thumb drive,
you put the carpeting back down.
So then when the door opens and closes,
but most of the time it's open, right?
They're not looking there.
So it's not a bad idea.
I wouldn't do it.
And my answer to that would be
I would never have anything
that I would have to be concerned about
with the feds knocking down my door
and searching for a USB drive.
But there are plenty of places in a home,
I mean, that one, the ones, was it the serial killers or the serial rapist or whatever,
they searched the house, but they didn't check in the light recess in the one room,
and that's where they kept all the tapes, the videotapes.
I mean, it's just, you have to think, you know, I have to think outside the box
if you're going to hide something in your house.
Now, I will say this, thanks to television and movies,
there's not really a safe place anymore in your home
to hide something like that.
If the FBI or, you know,
Homeland Security or the local police department,
search your house,
I mean, all those secret places are pretty much known.
So, Jeff, I'm sorry to jump in,
but I just had an idea.
What if you made it like an escape room
where you had to do clues,
so they had to do a bunch of other things
to try to unlock it.
I'll try to find it, you know what I mean?
Like a treasure map almost.
They can work for it.
They're still going to find it though.
Yeah, but they've got to solve all the puzzles.
Plus, if you're looking at a layout of the house,
you know that, I mean, there's the safe room.
And if they've got a warrant, they're going to knock it out.
Well, first you've got to answer question number two.
No, that's not going to work.
That's not going to work.
Just, you know, make it fun for them.
But all the places that,
It's interesting for me to think about because there's some places where I think would be worthy of a thumb drive being hidden.
And then I think they better not find it.
Oh boy.
I probably should have mentioned this with the recall of the pecans.
But fears of another pandemic are rising.
China, it's being reported.
issued a quarantine order
over thousands of cases
of a viral disease
carried by mosquitoes.
Ah, you don't want none of that.
Chinese officials reported
7,000 infections
of the
Chikakungaya disease.
Amorphalus.
No, it is not amorphalas.
It is the Chikagongya
disease.
And the city in Foshan
is located in the south,
and the disease is not usually fatal,
but it can be very painful.
So health officials have ordered a patriotic public health campaign.
Yeah, that's what it is in China.
It's a patriotic public health campaign to aid their efforts
to find and destroy mosquito breeding sites in the city.
They are employing drones,
mosquito eating fish in ponds,
and elephant mosquitoes that feed on
Chikagung-G-G-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-G-A.
It's actually, it's Chik-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-C-H-I-C-G-G-G------- Yeah, that's what I'm working today.
Chicken-N-G-G-G------------. Yeah, that's what I said. Nice to see you back today.
So anyway, that's the particular disease.
is out there in China
and you don't want none of it.
So residents have been instructed to ensure
there's no water stagnating anywhere in the city.
Some have reported heavy-handed police effed
no.
In China?
No way.
I thought this was a patriotic public health campaign.
And now they're telling me
that there's been some heavy-handed efforts from police?
No.
So a neighborhood committee cut electricity,
to at least five houses for not cooperating with the order.
Some of the residents complained,
which is on, I guess it's called Red Note,
which is a popular app in China.
That's what you want to do is complain in China.
That police were excessively enforcing orders
to prevent stagnant water where mosquitoes might breathe.
Yeah, because they don't want anyone to catch.
Chicken gunia.
Duh.
So they've not imposed the most severe.
quarantine policies, but many are fearful that they are coming soon.
Yeah, no kidding.
They will come because nobody want...
You just don't want it.
Now, this disease has been around since the 1950s.
It was identified in southern Tanzania, which is beautiful this time of year.
and the name
translated from the
Kimakande language
I mean who doesn't speak to Kimmikande language
and translated
means that which bends up
which apparently refers to the painful contortions
of infected people
Ouch
Yes
you do not want the Chickagungia
or I'm sorry
Chicken Gunya
That's what I said
You don't want that, and because it will end you up with that which bends up.
And again, you don't want it.
I'm sorry, you just don't.
So leave it in China.
We don't need it over here, okay?
What we do want here is someone that knows how to sell and buy homes.
That's what we want.
And you can get that amazingly if you go to real estate agents, I trust.com.
because when it's time for you to move,
and whether it's in the same town
or it's somewhere else in the country,
you want a real, real estate agent.
You don't want those fake ones running around.
You want a real, real estate agent.
And you're going to get a real, real estate agent
from real estate agents, I trust.com.
No bots.
No bots at real estate agents, I trust.com.
So you're going to have an agent
that cares about you, okay?
doesn't care about just selling the place
and doesn't care about what you want.
Look, it got started years ago
when Glenn Beck was trying to sell a home
and he tried to sell several
and it became a nightmare to sell the house
and he just went through real estate agents
who didn't give a crap about him
and didn't really know what they were doing
and he got tired of dealing with that.
So he created real estate agents I trust.
It's a free service.
It connects you with the top performing agent,
who actually care about your outcome.
Agents who are experienced, vetted,
fully committed to helping you buy or sell with confidence,
whether you're moving across the country or across the town.
And these are the people that Glenn hired himself
just a few weeks ago,
and the only one he puts his name behind.
Because your move isn't just a move, it's your life.
And you deserve to work with someone who treats you that way.
Real estate agents I trust.
Real estate agents
I trust.com is the website.
I mean, the name
pretty much says it all.
Real estate agents I trust.
Real estate agents I trust.com.
It's hockey season,
and you can get anything you need

All right, today is the anniversary. If you're listening live, today is the 6th of August 2025.
and it is the anniversary, the 80th anniversary
of the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima
and Nagasaki.
So I was just thinking about that.
I know I know it's not where I'm supposed to celebrate.
But I mean, we only killed, I think,
the one was in 70,000 right away.
We put an end of the war, though.
Tell you that.
So, I mean, I know I'm supposed to be bombed, and I am.
I am.
I am bummed.
But, you know, put an end to the war.
and it should remind people that we can do such horrors and wars like we did in Iran.
We just flew a couple planes over and now a sudden it's all over and the tune changes.
I will just say Friday this week, two days from now, the 8th of August is supposed to be the deadline for Russia to end the war in Ukraine, according to our president.
and we're supposed to have a big announcement this afternoon.
That may be the end, and I hope that it is.
I hope that it is.
I was looking at, you know, the history of Hiroshima and Nakasaki.
You can still get a book, and I actually do want to kind of read this book,
but I'm not going to spend the money on it.
You can get a used copy of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
the physical metal and social effects, medical Hiroshima,
and Nagasaki.
The physical, medical, and social effects of the atomic bombings book.
It's from the Committee for the Compilation of Materials on Damage Caused by the Atomic Bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
You can pick up that use copy for $682.46.
I feel like I don't want to spend that money on that book.
Do I want to see it?
Maybe go to the library?
Thumb through it?
Yes, I'd want to do that.
But, I mean, you could check it out.
I mean, if you could check that out at the library
and then not bring it.
Yeah, don't look at me like that.
Yes, there's libraries out there.
There's fuel, anyway.
I mean, that's where you vote.
Nobody goes over.
Anyway, you just go there, and if they have it there,
I mean, is it worth hawk a net on eBay?
And then paying the late fee or not paying the late fee to the library?
I'm just saying, I wouldn't do that.
And I would not recommend that people do that at all.
But I'm just saying that, you know, it's possible that someone could do something horrific like that.
We also have the news today that the U.S. Coast Guard released its report on the 2023 Ocean Gate submersible implosion.
Concluding the disaster was preventable.
What?
And directly caused by the company's disregard for safety.
protocols. So we're throwing that whole company under the bus there.
The Titan submersible imploded in the Atlantic Ocean during a paid trip to explore the Titanic
wreck, killing all five passengers on board. The 330-page report identifies eight primary
engineering failures and four contributing factors, finding that Ocean Gates' leadership
dismissed safety concerns, failed to properly test and certify the vessel,
and intimidated employees who raised alarms,
including by filing a slap lawsuit against a whistleblower.
The company operated Titan outside accepted deep-sea safety standards
and exploited regulatory loopholes,
neglecting independent certification and adequate life cycle safety checks.
Cost outfitting measures also likely compromised safety,
such as storing Titan outdoors in the Canadian winter,
and using only four bolts to secure the forward dome
instead of the required 18.
Yeah, that might have something to do with it.
You know, you just get it.
Now, so we still have, that comes from the United States Coast Guard.
We still get a separate report from the National Transportation Safety Board investigation,
and that's expected to release sometime, you know, later this year.
Think they could do better than 335 pages?
Yeah, probably.
And we do have a new world record to talk about, I'm sorry, I just got to go step back into the Ocean Gate for a little bit.
Four bolts at the dome where 18 were needed.
That seems, I don't know, that seems bad.
Dude, we're going down to see the Titanic, and we probably should, they tell us to be.
put 18 on that front dome,
keep it shut, you know,
because we're going down the water pressure and everything.
You know how it works when the submarine goes down.
You know, don't worry about it.
Four is fine.
Four a hold.
No problem.
For a hold.
I mean, what are we doing?
Come on.
It does seem like a disastrous situation waiting to happen.
And that's what happened.
Anyway, congratulations to an arcade in the Philippines,
who now hold the Guinness World Record
for installing the world's largest claw machine.
The Playfair Arcade
located at Topps Landmark in Barangay-Busay in Cebu.
I love that.
That's my favorite part of the Philippines right there.
Earned the title for its claw king,
which encompasses a staggering 1,761 cubic feet.
So the massive game, which is over 17 feet long, close to 13 feet tall and over 8 feet wide,
was first unveiled to the public first part of July,
while being measured by a local construction company in compliance with Guinness World Record Standards.
So they were awarded the title, the officially awarded the title, July 21st.
So it says in this story, congratulations to a Playfair arcade, right?
there in Barangay, Bousse, and Cebu,
at the top's landmark
in Barangay, Bouset, and Cebu.
Congratulations to them for having a new world record.
But I will say this.
In the story, it talks about how
this was a testament to Filipino creativity
and craftsmanship.
And when you think of the Philippines,
that's what you think of,
is creativity and craftsmanship.
And so, you know,
That's what you think of.
Or arcade games really is what you think.
That's the same thing, though, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure it is.
So, congratulations to, uh, claw,
that it's not the claw king.
I'm not congratulating the claw king.
I'm congratulating the Playfair arcade
located at the Topps Landmark in Barangay, Bousay, and Saboo.
Amorfa Fallis.
For their, uh, that's not what the, that's not how they say it.
Uh, for their world title.
in the Claw King. Congratulations.
Because, man, who doesn't love
playing the Claw King games
in the... You can't just put that in a hallway
of Walmart. You have to have that at the
special arcade there in Barangay,
Bousse and Sabu.
It would be funny. The picture that I saw
shows that they have these giant stuffed
animals. That's what you get out of this giant clock king.
Would be funny.
If they have the mini toys
to win with the
giant Claw King.
You know, you just have to get that...
You know the little, just the little toys.
You know, little toys that come in the little balls that you spend like a quarter on
and it drops a ball drives down and has a little toy in it.
And those are the toy.
Like a billion of those little things in the bottom for the clocking to pick up.
That'd be fun.
Now, I'd be willing, I wouldn't be willing to play that.
But that's not what they did.
So, oh, well, oh well.
They didn't consult me.
It's fine.
Do whatever you got to do.
over there and Barangay, Bousse, and Saboo.
Fine with me.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink.

And pretty soon,
we're coming up on new Walking Dead Daryl season.
So we'll have Walking Dead with, you know,
Jason Butchrell and my son Maximus will be doing talking Walking Dead again.
That will be back up and running.
I think the first of September somewhere in there is where when Darrell comes back.
So, you know, we got that to look forward to as well.
Okay, also, you know, it was reported that Zuckerberg, Mr. Facebook himself, I'm sorry, Mr. Mata himself,
was out looking for all these people that could handle AI.
I mean, that's his deal.
Super Intelligence.
He's all about it.
And then I saw a report where he offered this guy, this 24-year-old Matt Ditke,
D-E-I-T-K-E, if he doesn't pronounce it that way, I apologize.
Zuckerberg offered him $250 million over four years.
It wasn't even a one-year deal.
To work for META's superintelligence lab.
Now I'm going to tell you something that's going to surprise you.
He accepted.
Yeah.
Well, I got to work for you for what?
Four years?
$250 million?
Yeah.
Yeah, we can probably get together on that.
No problem.
Do you need me to move out there?
Or can I stay where I'm at?
You know, do I get a, you're going to pay me to move?
You know, whatever.
He accepted.
And I will say that Facebook and Google, you know, they definitely can afford it.
And I was reading a story today about this Evaldas Rimasakis.
Okay.
he stole and I say stole that's such a harsh word he he sent requisition forms to Facebook and Google
and they paid him $122 million and it was for work that he didn't do I love this guy you know he
What he did is he, he's from Lithuania, beautiful this time of year.
And I guess he was doing this with some others as well that posed as computer and electronic
hardware manufacturing company based in Taiwan called Quanta Computer.
And between 2013 and 2015, he sent invoices to Facebook and Google from this Quanta
computer.
and the invoices totaled 23 million to Google and 99 million to Facebook.
And both companies having done business with quantum computer before, they paid it.
They paid it.
And in fact, they wired money over to bank accounts in Latvia and Cyprus.
And there's a thing.
I realize Google and Facebook are global.
I'm sorry, meta, are global.
But if you're wiring money to Latvia and Cyprus, maybe, maybe.
I guess maybe, sure.
And that was controlled by my man Ramosakis.
All right.
So now, to explain the massive influx of money to the banks,
he used forged invoices and contracts
and letters that appeared to have been signed
by executives and agents from Google and Facebook.
Then the bank was like, okay, no problem.
That is awesome.
Now, I will say this.
No, I mean, it's not awesome at all.
it's fraud and it's terrible and it's just terrible.
But, okay, now he's pled guilty to one count of wire fraud.
He was sentenced to 60 months in prison.
So this was in 2019, all right?
So he was, they arrested him in Latvia.
He was in Lithuania.
sorry, and then they extradated him to New York.
He pled guilty in 2019,
60 months in prison for his criminal scheme.
So he's out now.
I mean, this is, right?
He's out.
Yeah, 60 months, five years.
I think that's right.
Okay.
Anyway, or close to it, thereabouts.
So during the sentencing,
he has to serve two years supervised release.
so he's still probably part of, it's 2025,
so he's close to coming to the end of this
of the supervised release, okay?
Now, he has to forfeit $49.7 million,
and he had to pay reimbursement of nearly $26.5 million.
Now, I am not great at math, all right,
but $49.7 and $26.5 don't add up to $99 million.
Don't add up to $120 million.
Okay?
So was that, if he's still sitting on 20 million, 30 million,
that's not bad.
That's not bad.
A couple years in prison, a couple of years supervised release.
Yeah, here's your money.
I stole from you.
Go ahead.
Take some of it back.
Go ahead.
There you go.
I'll reimburse some of your money.
Now, he did say it had some unnamed partners,
so maybe he doesn't have that $20 million.
They have it.
And so now he's got to go to the unnamed partners and say,
guys, I went to jail for you, man.
I went to jail for you.
You can help me out.
And that's probably not going to happen.
So he's going to have to figure out a way to steal some more money.
But just incredible.
I mean, that's what a genius move.
We just invoice them, and they'll pay.
And they did.
and
wow, over $100 million.
So if he would have stopped that,
okay, this is $122 million.
If he would have stopped at,
$10 million for Google,
$50 million for Facebook,
and then just went away.
Would they have ever known?
I mean, would they have ever known?
It would have just been,
poof, guff, gone in the ether,
and it would have never known
that damn greed
that damn greed gets you every time.

died due to complications from cancer.
And so, rest in peace, to Terry Super Lungerid.
Now, I was just looking at his, you know,
he obviously had this huge voice.
But he was touring.
It was supposed to be touring.
And he got sick and he didn't do it.
But he talked about all the gigs that he did with all these bands,
and he became famous when he supported the Stones during their 66 British tour.
And, you know, they loved his stage performance.
And then he went on tour with Cream and Fleetwood Mac and Jethro Tal.
I mean, he toured with all the greats.
He was friends with Hendricks, whom he often played with.
I'm looking at all these old
all these photos of him
he's always got cigarettes in his hand
I wonder where it caused the cancer
Huh weird
Weird weird
I know that's why he could smoke
Because he had super lungs
But because of
You know
Apparently smoke does go all the way
Into your lungs
And that's what happens
And the picture that they have from him
There's a picture of him
And I'm not sure what year it is
but he doesn't look like he did in the 60s.
You can quote me on that.
But who does?
Rest in peace to Terry Super Lungs Reed dead at the age of 75.
Then we have these Daredevil Brazilian tech company CEO.
Thomas Maritus, Thomas Brittis,
has passed away at the age of 44.
He was the chief of fiber optics company Voloy.
Telecom, love them.
He liked to skydive.
And he, as he was skydiving, he jumped out of an airplane.
And no, this time, this time it isn't someone who hit the ground.
Although he did, he hit it hard.
But as he was jumping and skydiving, he struck his friend's knee with his head as they were jumping out of the plane.
Ouch, big time.
They were both free-falling toward the ground.
and their parachutes deployed,
although we just lost control and crashed into a field,
a little off the landing area.
And he was rushed at a local hospital.
They couldn't survive him.
So when you're jumping out of an airplane,
you got to make sure the parachute works.
And you got to make sure your friend doesn't knee you in the head.
Ouch.
By accident.
I wonder if his friend is now the CEO of the company.
Just, ah, no, stop it.
That's not, that's,
That couldn't happen, right?
It was always an accident.
So rest in peace to Thomas Briss,
dead at the age of 44.
Then we have a Byron Black.
Byron Black, and I say we have a,
he was executed.
He was a convicted felon, convicted murderer.
He was executed in the Great State of Tennessee.
Byron was put to death by lethal injection at the River Bend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville.
State correction officials said, oh, I love that.
Byron Black, 69, dead.
He had no last words.
Okay.
The curtain of death chamber was open to the media and witnesses.
Seven media witnesses said the news comments that they were in agreement that after the lethal injection drug,
Pina Barbatol was administered,
black showed signs of discomfort.
Oh no.
We don't want that.
I'm so sick of hearing about how that.
Plus, this guy actually should have been executed a long time ago.
He was convicted in the 1988 murders of his girlfriend
and her two young daughters.
Huh.
So I got no problem with him being executed.
but he had a pacemaker.
I guess we put in while he was in prison.
I don't know that he still,
I don't know they were just updating the pacemaker since 1988,
but he had a pacemaker.
And they were concerned that when he started to die,
the pacemaker would go crazy
and try to bring him back to life.
And he fought this off and out
and finally the courts were like,
no, that's fine.
We don't care.
So that's where they were saying.
It looked like he was a little discomfort.
Oh, well, I mean, if he starts coming,
if the pacemaker starts ticking again,
maybe we just give him another shot of him ever tall, okay?
Yeah, until we hear that,
and we're fine.
Just keep giving it to him.
I know, but some of those death drugs are getting hard to find
so they don't want to waste them.
But so just let them be a shame if he had.
to suffer there on the gurney for an extra 20 or 30 seconds, wouldn't it?
No.
For me, no, the answer to that is no.
We just had another one executed.
So this we had the one in Florida last week.
We had this guy in Tennessee and Florida, I think, has another one coming up on the 19th.
I don't see Florida.
I'll see.
Florida has the...
has carried out more executions than any other state,
while Texas and South Carolina are tied for second.
Tennessee's got some catching up to do.
Let's go.
So the 10th execution is scheduled in Florida on August 19th
and on 11th on August 28th.
So they're doing two more this month.
Let's go.
Keep it moving.
Keep it moving.
We got to clean out death row.
That's what we got to do.
Maybe we got some new death row members coming in,
but we got to clean them out.
We got to get this moving on.
I mean, back to school, we'll get this thing wrapped up.
All right, let's go.
I got, I know, don't look at me like that.
I know I'm supposed to be sad.
People are dying.
These guys did horrific things.
I feel like I say this every time we execute someone in this country.
They did horrific things.
And it's been years.
It's been looked at it.
What if I'm a lot?
it was one what guy was wrong.
Well, we spent 30, 40 years,
50 years, waiting to
prove if it was right or wrong.
And once we reached the point that it was correct,
then they were,
the jury said,
kill them. They don't deserve to be alive.
And let's end it.
And to fight over that is just insane to me.

Interesting that ESPN is, it's being reported that they're going to acquire NFL network and other NFL-owned assets in exchange for giving the NFL a 10% stake in ESPN.
That is interesting.
I wonder who needs the money more.
ESPN or NFL.
I feel like, I mean like they both.
I heard one owner, I think it was Robert Kraft, say that they needed to, you know,
new streams of income.
So that means that they want to up the salary cap.
And I think what they're going to do is instead of what they're going to do,
instead of just saying an overall salary cap for the team like they do now,
they're going to do it by position.
So they'll have a salary cap on quarterbacks,
and then you'll have a salary cap for the rest of the team.
Or you might have a couple different positions, salary capped,
and then an overall salary cap.
I think that may happen.
I know that sports talk for you,
but that's probably what's going to happen.
I also see where Roku has launched an ad-free streaming service.
$2.99 a month.
It's going to include 10,000 hours of movie and TV content
from Lionsgate and Warner Brothers Discovery.
Okay.
And also Fox One is launching their stream all sports and news.
who's programming across Fox's
broadcasting cable channels for
20 bucks a month.
Ooh, that just seems a little steep.
Good luck with that, Fox One.
299 a month for my Roku, maybe, maybe.
We'll see.
But 1999 a month,
what all do you get for that?
Oh, I got to, now I actually have to click on what,
we have to find out what the heck they're going to charge me.
21, 1999 a month for.
Okay.
So Fox 1 will include all Fox Sports and News programming
that appears on its broadcasting cable and TV networks.
Still haven't won me over.
Fox's move into streaming comes after dropping its effort to launch venue.
Yeah, that would have been the deal.
So, Direct Fox 1, head of the NFL season, 20 bucks a month.
Marn Dogg.
You haven't told me what I'm getting for any of this.
So Fox TV portfolio, namely live sports,
NFL, MLB,
that appear on its broadcast network
as well as news programming from its Fox Jones.
So, I mean,
I don't think you're getting much for this,
because their deals with the NFL isn't all of it.
You still have the other networks at ESPN and CBS
and Amazon and Netflix now
all have deals with the NFL.
They can't, Fox 1 won't be able to stream any of that.
20 bucks a month?
Ooh, that's a little steep.
But good luck.
Good luck. Hope it all.
Hope it all works out for you.
I was reading a story about Glenn Bell, the guy that founded Taco Bell.
And I'm fascinated by his story because he stole it all.
And I guess you can say, they all did.
But he just copied this militia cafe or the Mitla cafe.
I called the Militia.
It's not that.
It might have been that.
They might have thought of themselves as that.
But it's the Mitla Cafe.
Amorphophalus.
No, they didn't call themselves that.
In San Bernardino, California.
at Mitla Cafe.
And he watched customers,
the story,
this is the story being told.
He watched customers wait 30 minutes for tacos.
He'd never tasted Mexican food before,
but those lines met money.
So he became a spy.
He started eating there daily,
ordered the same tacos repeatedly,
studied every ingredient and technique,
but the kitchen was hidden.
He needed a closer look.
So the espionage began.
He found spots where he could see the kitchen.
and watched through windows and service areas,
memorized every cooking step,
his notebook filled with secrets.
The breakthrough came through, persistence.
Bell befriended the Rodriguez family over months of visits.
They liked his enthusiasm for Mexican food.
Finally, they showed him the kitchen.
The spy mission was complete.
Bell learned the hard shell taco was already Americanized,
not authentic Mexican at all,
perfect for fast food adoption.
The owners had done the work.
He just needed to speed it up.
And in 62, he opened his first Taco Bell,
used all the borrowed techniques.
Pre-made shells, assembly line process,
19-cent tacos served in seconds.
Yeah, the spy work paid off.
No waiting, no confusing.
Fast food meets ethnic cuisine.
Lines formed immediately.
He franchised the country.
concept. By 67, he had 100 locations, and they all, you know, boom, and now we have
Taco Bells, you know, I don't know how many Taco Bells we have in this country.
I mean, it says here they serve two billion customers a year. And so according to this,
which is help of AI, I mean, we have to have AI to get through life anymore. There are
8,101 Taco Bell restaurants in the United States.
as of March of 2025.
So the most number of Taco Bell locations
in the U.S. is in California.
That's where it got it start.
And with 879 locations.
So that's pretty good,
all on stolen information,
spying on his so-called friends.
They let him in.
They let him in.
And he stole all the information
and then destroyed them with his own Taco Bell.
That's how it happens.
You let him in?
and then they steal from you.
Bastards.
All right, let's get out of here.
I'm going to leave you with the joke of the day.
I'm not sure there's two of them,
and they both kind of go with Taco Bell.
So I'm not sure.
You know what?
I'll probably just do them both, all right?
This one from Jay.
Why couldn't the jalapeno practice archery?
I don't know, Jeff.
Why couldn't the jalapeno practice archery?
Because it didn't have an arrow.
Duh.
Oh, so stupid.
And this one reminds me of actually Taco Bell about it,
something to think about it as well from John.
Interestingly enough, from John about the toilet.
Do you realize that if you're sitting on the toilet at 11.59 p.m.
And the clock strikes midnight,
it's the same shit different day.
See.
Because what?
You got it.
