Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Apparently, they're back. A few years ago, Charmin debuted their large toilet paper rolls called Forever Rolls. And I kind of remember talking about Forever Rolls because they said the regular Charmin has 77 sheets, but these have 1,700, so they're like 22 rolls in one. So anyway, they were kind of a novelty.
Starting point is 00:01:00 thing, a subscription thing that I think you could get specifically from Charmin. Well, now they're back. The Charmin Forever rolls are available nationwide through all the large box store retailers. And they're saying that, in fact, I was looking you can get a three-pack delivered to your home. The Charmin Forever Roll Ultra Soft Roll Pack, you can get it from Walmart under $60 for the three pack. And plus, I believe you have to get a special handler to put on the wall or you have to get a special stand that can hold up the forever roll. I don't know that they are a forever role,
Starting point is 00:01:44 though. I mean, I guess it's kind of a cute novelty thing. If you have, you know, a couple of guest bathrooms and you have, you know, instead of having your little toilet paper handler there that You have to make sure there's extra toilet paper under the sink or, you know, on the shelf or in the shelving behind the toilet. You have to, you know, make sure that there's a fresh roll. The Forever Roll could last for quite some time. I bet it doesn't last forever, though. Ha ha ha. But as for a restroom facility that's used quite often in your home, I don't think the Forever role.
Starting point is 00:02:26 is going to be forever. It doesn't mean forever, Jeff. That's the name of it, a forever roll. It's supposed to last extra long. Okay. All right. You got it. No problem.
Starting point is 00:02:39 But I would still, you know, rather get the, you know, probably the big pack from Sam's Club or Costco. Just get the 45 large rolls and be done with it. But that's just me. So if you want to get the forever roll for your guest bathroom or heck even for your own personal bathroom just off the bedroom, you go right ahead because it'll look cute in there, won't it? It will. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Welcome to chewing the fat. Fat 5 Plus. Okay, so we had a robbery in France over the weekend that was awesome in my eyes. I mean, I don't want to be for crime or anything, but this actually was awesome. So France's crowned jewels, they're a priceless piece of history, and they really are history now because they're gone.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Thieves broke into the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday morning and made off with multiple pieces of its royal collection, including jewels that Napoleon had made. It was unbelievable. So it was a daylight heist. They targeted the Apollo gallery, took a few minutes, and then they were gone. They used a cherry picker to reach a high window,
Starting point is 00:04:27 forced it open, smashed open glass display cases, fled on motorbikes. Now, the museum, of course, I mean, they've been having trouble with staffing levels and crowd sizes have gotten bigger. And remember, they just did a big walkout not too long ago because they were pissed that they didn't have enough help.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Well, these particular gemstones are actually, I mean, they literally are priceless. I don't know how you put a price on them. Well, you break them up, you melt them down, you cut them up, and you sell them for as much as you can get for them. And, I mean, all the experts are saying they're probably going to be long gone. You're not going to be able to, they're going to be cut up and sold and we'll never see them again. I don't know. I feel like when you have something like that, you probably have a buyer already, right? So while they're priceless jewels,
Starting point is 00:05:17 and you want these crowns and bracelets that Napoleon had made, but you have a buyer, right? Somebody is going to have them in their safe of their mansion, in their room, and be able to look at them and enjoy them and knowing that it's theirs, right? And absolutely, and he paid, you know, whatever, $100 million. I had these guys do it for $100 million and off they go.
Starting point is 00:05:47 The investigation is ongoing. They found, I think they found one jewel on the street. I think one of the motorbikes crashed that they found. So, I mean, there's an all-out investigation now going on. I mean, this is absolutely, you know, a big, big issue in France and with the government and with security and with the police, how they could let something like this happen. So it'll be all over the news. It's fascinating to me if they find the thieves,
Starting point is 00:06:21 if they still have the jewels, if they have one person who says, you know, I was, yeah, I helped them, but I don't have the jewels, that kind of thing, that kind of thing. It's going to be great. But for now, they are long gone. Have a nice day.
Starting point is 00:06:35 I mean, we just talked about the big robbery in Egypt, where the guy, you know, melted down, the gold and he ended up getting caught I mean just unbelievable and then we had the Pablo Picasso painting worth I don't know they they claim that it was worth 650,000 sure sure that's what it's worth I'm I'm sure it's probably worth more than that actually but a work on paper by Picasso it left Madrid two weeks ago and has not been accounted for since because it was intended to go to Granada, according to the report.
Starting point is 00:07:17 But the work, half a page in size, apparently left headquarters of the company that transported it, along with 56 other pieces. Oh, okay. They all arrived, except that one. All traces of the Picasso piece seem to have just evaporated, just gone. All the other pieces are on display. and proudly on display in an exhibition called Still Life, Eternity of the inert.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Ah, who doesn't want to go to something like that? However, the Picasso, not there because it is just gone. Have a nice day. So did it happen? Did it actually make it onto the container that was going that was being transported? Was it stolen just before then and only reported that it was on that, particular delivery truck? Was it taken in transit?
Starting point is 00:08:17 Was it taken and get it coming off? Incredible. So apparently there was two people on board, apparently that were supposed to be watching over the items as it was transported. And then, you know, so we're out looking at them for sure. And after the artworks were delivered to the cultural center, the workers at the institution said,
Starting point is 00:08:38 hey, where's the, Picasso. And nobody knows. So they have it all on video. I bet they do. And according to the exhibition manager, not all the packaging was probably numbered. It wasn't possible to conduct a thorough check without unpacking.
Starting point is 00:08:59 So they went through it. And it's a still life of Picasso, you know, his guitar. It's called Still Life with a Guitar, 1919. And we'll see. We'll see what happens, but absolutely someone has definitely got that in their basement going, yep, that's my Picasso, and you don't have it now, do you? So there's a lot of crime happening around the world right now, and some of the people are getting away with it. And I knew it.
Starting point is 00:09:28 We talked last week about Mark Benoff, the CEO of Salesforce, how he was getting, well, he was getting blowback from his comments about, you know, President Trump, he should send federal troops into San Francisco. That should happen. No problem. And, of course, all his people in Silicon Valley and the group of people. He was bringing in his people at Salesforce for their Dream Force conference in San Francisco. And I said he probably just concerned about the safety of his people. He doesn't really care.
Starting point is 00:10:03 And that's exactly right. Because the comment really was that we have our conference, held in San Francisco last week, and we don't have enough cops. So if they can be cops, I'm all for it. Well, I mean, they were like, no, we can't. You, bastard, how dare you think about sending in the troops and being on the side of Donald Trump? And he had a big investor back out and say he was leaving the board because the values were no longer aligned. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Well, he's apologized as well. He said, yeah, you know, I haven't listened closely to my fellow San Franciscans and our local officials. And after the largest and safest dream force in our history, I do not believe the National Guard is needed to address safety in San Francisco. Oh, okay. So it was really all about, he didn't care about you in San Francisco or any other people traveling to San Francisco. What he cared about was his employees at sales. Salesforce showing up for their Dream Force conference, which was the biggest one ever, we're told. And he just wanted those people, his people safe.
Starting point is 00:11:17 And he wanted to be safe. And that's all he cared about. So after he complained that there weren't enough cops and they weren't doing a good enough job and they should send in the troops and everybody gave him crap about it, they actually probably upped their police presence in the city, especially around the Dream Force conference. And so everything was fine. and so now he's got to apologize and sorry I didn't really mean it. I was just joking.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I just wanted her people to be safe. It truly is agonizing. At Desjardin, we speak business. We speak startup funding and comprehensive game plans.

Starting point is 00:12:38 count on us and contact Desjardin today. We'd love to talk, business. So this is actually pretty incredible. So this high school basketball championship in Oklahoma, all right? It was Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association. And so this, they, they, they, they won the championship, but there was some sort of snafu with the scorekeeping during the game. And so the team that won, the coach was like, I don't think we won. I don't feel like we won. So he went back, she went back, he went back, the coach, the coach went back, and watched the film.
Starting point is 00:13:28 And the game ended. And so the game ended. and Oklahoma City was announced the winner, 44 to 43, on the last second shot. But the coach couldn't take it. And actually, the score was 43, 42, with the opposing team from Apache High School, having actually outscored his team. It is a he. Yeah, so the Apache team was a she.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Anyway, the coach. Academy was, you know, erroneously given more points than it actually earned amid confusion about the scoreboard at one juncture of the game. So he would have retained its championship had it stood pat on the result. Everyone had said they won. Well, no. So then he approached his team to tell the players that his video review findings and the players, of course, anyone who plays athletics and knows about fairness in sports and those are the rules
Starting point is 00:14:29 and rules are the rules. That's the way we play the game. That's why we play the game. They unanimously decided to appeal their own victory with the association, asking for the other team to be recognized their rightful win and for them to be assigned a defeat of the game. And it had never been done before, and it did succeed. So the Apache head coach said she was glad to have won the title.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Yeah, no kidding. I bet you were. But the coach also said, Academy's act of honesty and integrity meant more than the actual victory. I put that on your resume. Well, we actually thought we lost, but then we won. No, you're just going to say, we won the championship, thanks to my coaching, okay? It was something we'll all always remember.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Yeah. So that's kind of cool. Good for them for doing that, because the coach could have said nothing is what could have happened nothing and walked away with the championship and then we would have had we would have had a fight years from now i went back and watched that tape i knew we didn't lose and nobody said anything and we've had a huge oklahoma secondary christian studies kerfuffle instead we have uh sportsmanship and honor and good for them let's take a look at the skies what is going on with the skies oh yeah they're airplanes they fly in the sky
Starting point is 00:15:57 I will say this. I drive by DFW International Airport every day at least twice a day, multiple times a day. And it's been quite some time since there have been flights going over the flight path of my interstate in the morning. When I come into work at 4, 415 in the morning at me a.m. That's correct. and as I'm coming into the studios to do Pat Grand Leashed every day show is a 6 to 8 a.m.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Central time Monday through Friday and to this morning I'm driving it and they're already landing planes I was surprised I was coming around the corner where you see them come into the main flight path where they normally land barring if it's really windy they go to the other side of the airport
Starting point is 00:16:50 but whatever normally it's this it's this side and a plane flies over and I'm like, holy crap, the plane is landing at 4.30 at the morning. There's been a while since before COVID that I remember seeing flights coming in that early. And I look up and they have already got them rowed up. Because when you drive by there in early evening and the planes have got their lights on and you can see them all rode up, getting ready to land at DFW. It's incredible.
Starting point is 00:17:21 So it's just amazing that they're. that was happening today. So, we had something hit an airplane. This United Airlines pilot was injured and forced to make an emergency landing after what was some mystery object smashed the windshield of his Boeing 737. Now, he was up 36,000 feet. So it's usually, you know, that's up above where the birds fly, all that kind of stuff. So they don't know what it was.
Starting point is 00:17:50 but we have pictures of his arm bleeding and bruised, and it was consistent with glass cuts. Broken glass covered the dashboard in the cockpit. There was stuff outside that looked like there were scorch marks at the point of impact. So were they hit by some kind of meteorite or asteroid? Very possible. Very possible.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Now it was this United Flight from Denver to Los Angeles. It's going from Denver to Los Angeles. This is a quick little skip and a hop from Denver to Los Angeles. But they went ahead and we're going to go ahead and take this down and land in Salt Lake City, please, if you don't mind. Oh, yeah, sure. And I don't know if the, I don't know if the, you know, the people on board felt it or if it just happened and then it was, the pilot was the only thing that felt it. But they don't know what it was that hit the airplane. but we do know that something hit the airplane.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Could it have been space debris? We don't know. Could it have been a piece of Starlink satellite? We don't know. But birds fly lower than that. So they were up at their cruising altitude, which should not worry about birds, but something hit it.
Starting point is 00:19:09 So if you're flying these days, be on the lookout because space debris could be, hitting your airplane. We just don't know. And we had a plane skid off the runway in Hong Kong and killed two people and not any of the people on the plane. So it doesn't say why this flight skidded off the runway in Hong Kong. It just said that two airport security personnel were killed after their vehicle was pushed into the sea by the cargo plane at the international Airport. So the plane skids off the runway into the water, breaks in half, but on the other side of the fence that normally planes don't show up on, there's a road, and the security road is being
Starting point is 00:19:58 traveled. So the security guys are traveling on the road, and then the plane who is skidding off the runway hits them. Talk about a bad day. He was driving by doing your job on the security road. Is that plane, I don't think that plane's going to stop. No, it didn't stop. And so it crashed through the fence, collided with the patrol car. Then the two security staff in the car died from the accident. Very sad. Rest in peace to the two security staff in the car.
Starting point is 00:20:28 I mean, really, it's who died today. They were 30 and 41-year-old staff members in the car. It doesn't give their names. But all four crew members on the plane were rescued and taken to the hospital. They're safe. apparently a car in front of an airplane skidding off a runway or a vehicle, I should say, in front of the plane doesn't fare very well.
Starting point is 00:20:52 And I guess they didn't move. It was really striking to me, so I guess you were frozen there, right? It really was. I don't think that guy's going to stop. I think he's going to continue to come down toward us. No, he'll stop in time, right? Nope, not going to stop in time. Wow.
Starting point is 00:21:09 So if you drive it in some of those roads along the airports of your airport personnel or we've heard of door dash drivers getting lost on the tarmac, be careful out there. You never know when a plane's going to just skid off the runway and right on into you.

All right, who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Sam Rivers.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Sam Rivers, you know him as the basest and founding member of the metal band Limp Biscuit, passed away at the age of 48. Now, they did not give a cause of death, but he apparently, and this is no surprise for you limp biscuit fans. He had a history of alcohol-related liver disease. I'm sure there were other related diseases to some other usages of things as well. But we didn't say that anyway.
Starting point is 00:22:42 They just lost their brother and their bandmate, and they were sad about it. So rest in peace to Sam Rivers, bassist and founding member of Limp Biscuit dead at the age of 48. Then we have a Nobel Prize winner. I know, I know, I know. Nobel Prize winner Chen Ning, and you know Chen Ying-Nang,
Starting point is 00:23:08 he has passed away at the age of 103. Now, Yang, you remember Yang, won the 1957 prize for work studying the weak interaction, W-E-A-K interaction, one of the four fundamental forces governing the universe. So, duh. So rest and peace to the Nobel Prize
Starting point is 00:23:35 winner in 1957, Chen Ning, dead at the age of 103. Really, all I want to talk about is sports a little bit. I mean, we've got the baseball playoffs still ongoing.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Seattle and Toronto. is live tonight, game seven. If you're listening live today, today is the 20th of October, 2025. So we have Monday night football, and the NFL needs to stop with the two games on Monday night, but okay, I digress. But Seattle and Toronto play tonight, game seven, winner goes to the World Series.
Starting point is 00:24:17 They are waiting, the winner of that game will play the Los Angeles Dodgers, who won on Friday night. the Dodgers are just sitting back with their feet up wondering, what are these two teams that we got to beat? So I hope it, I'm kind of rooting for Seattle, because I want the big dumper to be in the World Series.
Starting point is 00:24:37 He's had a great year, 60 plus home runs. And, you know, we need to have him in the World Series, even if he doesn't win it. Because he's going to be up against, you know, Shohei Otani. And Otani had probably one of the greatest games of all time on Friday. in the final game of their playoff game to send them to the World Series. I mean, he pitched six innings.
Starting point is 00:25:00 He hit three home runs. Incredible. The guy, and had how many strikeouts he had? Let's see, had 10 strikeouts. So, I mean, the guy went three for three, three solo home runs, pitched six innings, two hits, three walks, no runs, 10 strikeouts.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I mean, the guy is arguably the best player ever in baseball. Just amazing and fun to watch. it'll be fun to see the Dodgers and everybody hates him because they spent all this money. But he's the guy. He's the guy. So we'll see who plays the Dodgers in the World Series. Could be a West Coast Series, Seattle and L.A., which I'm okay with. I don't really want the Canadian team in it.
Starting point is 00:25:41 I know we're happy that you're part of Major League Baseball, but you're Canadian, so let's move on. Sorry to my Canadian friends. I know, I know, I know. Then we have college football. We had NFL. I mean, we got NFL tonight. We had college football. Great weekend of college sports for college football.
Starting point is 00:26:01 The new top 25 came out. As you know, you know, for a Pat show, which I'm part of every day, Pat Greenleashed, which you should watch and listen. You can become a Blaze TV subscriber. Helps keep this show free. And how you can watch that show and all the other shows that we do on Blaze TV. If you subscribe, go to BlazeTV. dot com slash jeffey blaz tv.com slash jeffey you get $20 off a year's subscription by doing that but they uh i was looking
Starting point is 00:26:29 at the latest top 25 and as you know pat gray is you know b yu fan and i am a missouri tiger fan just because my oldest son played for them so you know a fan and still still pay attention to what they do uh in college football they are ranked 15th in the country in the top 25 and they play the 10th ranked vanderbilt This weekend and game day is going to be there. It's going to be in Vanderbilt. Probably the first time they've ever been at Vanderbilt. And Vanderbilt is six wins, one loss. Missouri is six wins, well, it's one lost.
Starting point is 00:27:01 I don't know that Missouri can win that game. But I hope they do. I'll be rooting for them. But I really don't think they can win that game. BYU won the Holy War this past weekend against Utah, the godless animals. And they are undefeated, 7-0, BYU Cougars. Now, it's surprising to me that the BYU Cougars are the only undefeated team not in the top 10.
Starting point is 00:27:26 They are number 11 in the top 25, but the number 10, 9, 8, 6, 5, 4 are all with one loss. So BYU is the only team that's undefeated, not in the big 10. are not in the top 10 of the top 25. Just interesting to me that that doesn't happen. If you don't start off in the top top of the top 25, it takes a long time to get there. You know, all the coaches, you just got to win, you just got to win.
Starting point is 00:28:04 But the voting crowd takes some time to admit, you know, maybe we were wrong. Maybe we were wrong. We have to drop some of these teams out, and then you can keep coming. So, you know, you just have to win. So we'll see. We'll see how the rest of the college football goes.
Starting point is 00:28:22 I've just had a lot of fun this year. It's been a lot of fun. All right, let's get out of here. This is a special two-in-the-fat edition, Fat 5-plus. The reason I call it to Two-in-the-Fat with Jeff Fisher. Fat 5-plus is because I do a fat-5 every day on Pat Unleash that I'm doing every day. But I come here and give you a fat-5-plus every day out of the goodness of my heart just for you. I know. I know. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:28:49 All right, let's do the joke of the day. Tampa Bay Buccaneer edition. The Tampa Bay Bucks edition, as they play on Monday night tonight against Detroit in Detroit. The Bucks are in first place, and, you know, they've been playing great. Are they going to beat the Lions in Detroit? I hope so. I hope so. I hope Baker Mayfield can pull that off in Detroit. That would be great.
Starting point is 00:29:11 But this is a joke that was sent to me from Denny for Tampa Bay Bucs. addition joke. What did the pirate pay for his earrings? I don't know. What did the pirate pay for his earrings? Buccaneer. Get it? Because what do he?
Starting point is 00:29:34 No, you got it. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
