Next week, Sotheby's is having their annual geek week sale series. And they are selling or putting up for auction, the most complete stegosaurus ever discovered. 11 feet tall, approximately 27 feet long from the tip of its tail to its nose.

Now Cassandra Hatton, the Global Head of Science and Popular Culture at Sothebyes, she is quoted as saying, In terms of Stegosaurus, this is an incredibly rare animal. There are only eight or nine known in the world. Which is it? Expert? Global Head of Science and Popular Culture, eight or nine? Anyway, I digress.

I want it. I want this bad. It's about 79% complete. That's based on how much of it is actually fossil bone and how the bones were actually bound together. It's the best, the stegosaurus is the best known member of the armored dinosaurs called theophorans. Theorophorans.

I'm sorry, what? Thyrofoons. Thyreophones. Okay. All right. Fine, fine, fine. Thyrophones. Yeah, that's what they are.

I don't know where my girl is. Was she off today? Anyway, it's characterized by the distinctive shape and arrangement of dermal armor on its back, extending from the neck to the tail. Now, this particular apex predator was discovered in 2022 in the Morrison Formation, located in Moffat County, Colorado. I don't have to tell you where that is. I mean, right there, it's the Moffat County, Colorado Morrison Formation.

The excavation was completed in October of last year, and the Stegosaurus shows no signs of combat or any kind of other related injuries. So it just rolled up and died. It was found with his tail curled up underneath the bodies. So, I mean, it's just, okay, time to die. So it's going to go up for auction next week, and it would be so cool to have this Stegosaurus. I don't really have a place for it.

Maybe I kick a kid out of the house and just keep. it in the bedroom, I would be awesome. You keep that in the front door. People walk in, you've got the full-sized stegosaurus when they walk in your house. Come on now. That would be cool. They only want $4 to $6 million. So listen, you can PayPal me at Jeffey's CTF, I believe is my PayPal account.

And the first person that gets me to $6 million, that I will get the Stegasaurus with your money. And if you don't give me to $6 million, you know, oh, well. It would be really cool to have, though. But I don't have the $4 to $6 million extra laying around. I know. I know. I'll just have to look at the pictures. Well, that wouldn't be the first time.

Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. And just as a side note from the Stegosaurus, they claim that this Stegasaurus was 100, or is, 161 million years old. Huh. 161 million year old stegosaurus. Okay.

If you say so, I would say that the people over there at the Institute and Creation Research Center would disagree with that. But you guys know best. Hey, if you're looking for a gig, there's a possibility for you, and I actually would think this

would be a fun job. The AC Hotel by Marriott, Glasgow, has a job for you if you want to be the person who greets guests and get them in the mood for a day of laughter. Music and leaflet dodging on the Royal Mile. All you have to do is send a 60-second video. Okay, so 60-second video and fill out there. their application.

And part of that would be the 60 second video explaining why you're the right person to get guests in the mood for a day of laughter music. Laughter of music. And you should share your favorite breakfast-related joke. Once you get the gig, you're going to start in August. It runs from August 2nd to August 26th. and they are hoping that that's one of the up-and-coming comics. It doesn't say how much you're going to get paid for the role, but it does say,

they say that the rate is to be agreed upon with the candidate. Oh, okay. But, I mean, I'm sure you're going to get a room and probably room and board at the hotel because that's where you're working every day. I mean, it's a big event that's going on. In Glasgow, it's called the fringe festival. And this fringe festival is a big tourist attraction,

so they've seen an uptick in people staying at the hotel, and they want them entertained. So you could just send a video. I mean, it might be fun. Get up. Hey, good morning. It looks like, ooh, Millie, you having waffles again? Ooh, maybe not.

Maybe you ought to have some eggs, got a little protein. You know, lay off those carbs. You know what I'm saying on those hips, huh? Something like that. I probably is not going to get the job. But if you want the job, you know, go to the website. And you can fill out their little application and send them your 60-second video and give them your best breakfast joke.

And you can become the Marriott-Glasgow banter merchant. Huh? How about what's fun of that's going to be? You know, I mentioned this today on the... Glenn Beck program. I was Pat Gray and myself. We're filling in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck, Glenn and stew on the Glenn Beck radio program. And part of one of my fat fives was talking about Krispy Kreme's birthday. I'm fascinated by the Krispy Kreme story. I didn't realize that this was an American dream story. And it most definitely is. So the story is that today is a Krispy Kreme is

honoring 87 years in the donut business. And today, if you're listening, is the 12th of July 2024. So customers can enjoy the original glazed donuts for 87 cents when they purchase any dozen at regular price. So if you get one dozen

regular price, they're going to give you a second dozen for 87 cents. Huh. And they claim in the story that could cost a regular dozen costs anywhere between $8 and $14 depending on where you live. So, I mean, but this is the American dream story, really. It's just another

one. It was founded by Vernon Rudolph on July 13th, 1937. Rudolph purchased a recipe for the yeast raised donuts from a New Orleans French chef and began selling the donuts to local grocery stores in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The smell of the hot donuts attracted passerbys to the donut kitchen. And they started banging on the door saying, hey, you're selling me those donuts. It smells great. You're selling them to me? And he was like, I don't have any way to do it. Oh, wait a minute. Let me bang a hole through this wall. And he did. And then he started selling the donuts to the walk-ups through the hole on the wall. Eight years later, now we still have the hot now signed

because they would smell it when they were hot being cooked for the grocery stores and they'd come up to the hole in the wall and buy the donuts from Vernon Rudolph. Pretty incredible. And now they I just, I mean, they have, obviously, they have, you know, the caramel cream crunch and Oreos and cream and strawberry and ice with sprinkles. They have some other flavors. But, you know, the main one is the crispy cream glaze, right? I mean, that's just the main one, and that's the one that's so good when it's hot. And they just inked a deal with the McDonald's, right?

They're upping their production now. You're going to be able to get crispy creams in every McDonald's. I mean, that's a lot of money. They better keep up with demand on that, and better have the supply to keep up. with the demand but anyway I just I love the whole crispy cream donut American dream story that's pretty amazing I don't know that I you know how long you get away with I'll leave I'll word it like that I don't know how long you get away with just knocking a hole through your building wall and selling your goods through that hole in today's world before you know

the king would come down and want to have all the zoning and permanent signed and paid for and all the health benefits that have to come with that. And you better be wearing a hard hat. I mean, I don't know that you could do it for long. But back then, 87 years ago, you could definitely do it. And Vernon did it. So congratulations to Vernon for becoming an American dream story.

Ah, another Takata inflator problem? Well, that's incredible. Takata has been in big trouble with Toyota and Infinity and now BMW. Wow. So these Takata, inflators used in a range of BMW 3 series models between 2006 and 2012 could, could explode and release metal fragments causing injury or death.

But that's under the could. Although the automaker says it has not received any reports of such malfunctions. Oh, that's, I mean, that's good. Recall notice will be sent out next month. Oh, I mean, how about you? Well, they're letting us know now, but we're sending out the notice next month, which is nice. And airbag modules will be replaced for free if needed. Oh, that's nice of them.

The vehicle owners are encouraged to contact BMW customer service with any questions. Yeah, you think? So if you have a BMW 3 series between 2006 and 2012, and even if you're outside of that range, I might check. I would get a hold of the BFW customer service and ask them, hey, do you think I ought to change out my Ticada airbag in the front steering wheel? Because what you don't want to do is find out when it's too late that there's a problem. You end up with metal shards in your face and no one wants that. And you could most definitely, most definitely quote me on that.

to the lotto drawing this weekend tonight. Well, like I said, today is the 12th of July, 2024. There's a mega-million drawing for $203 million jackpot, $94.9 million cash payout. And the Powerball is tomorrow night, Saturday the 13th. Four million. What? 54 million.

No, I was going to say four million. No, it's never just four million. I would, I mean, that's embarrassed. I might have to shut that place. down with $4 million. It's $54 million with a $25.6 cash payout. So that's not bad, which made me think, well, you know, I mean, with the $256 cash payout, you're not buying a $17 million home, right?

I was looking at, I follow a Zillow Gone Wild on X. And there's an Oklahoma City home that they want $17,250,000 for. and I mean is it worth 17 million probably 19,000 square feet with a 70,000 gallon pool, slide, grotto, hot tub, full outdoor kitchen, stocked pond, 200 quai fish, electric shades, hidden staircases, multiple bar areas, golf driving balcony, fireman's pole from the kids gaming area to the kitchen,

as well as a professional bowling alley game room. And there's another 32, thousand square feet heated and cooled barn with an indoor basketball court, outdoor basketball court, multiple bars, dance floor, performance stage, 33 oversized, oversized car garages, and two oversized his or her bedroom suites. What? No card track? What do we do it?

Only 17,000, 250,000. So even if you win the cash payout power ball with 25 million. point six this is this is out of your budget sorry about that that is why you need real estate agents i trust dot com to set you straight and help you do those things that are so difficult for you to do and let you know what you need to do and what you don't need to do if you're selling a house and what you need to look for if you're buying a house look uh especially in this housing market uh you need a go-getter and someone who is a leader and someone who is uh who is responsible responsible and knows what they're doing.

That's why Glenn started this company because he got, well, I don't want to say he got screwed, but okay, he got screwed trying to sell his one house in Connecticut.

Instagram said it's no. Instagram, their main guy at Instagram, Adam Morrissey, said we're redoubling our focus on short form videos as a way to achieve two of its goals. connecting friends and allowing users to explore their interests. It turns out long-form video is less symbiotic with these other jobs. Oh, okay? We're not going to go after that business. That's what Adam Morrissey said. So there you go.

Instagram is not going to go after the long-form videos, but you can still do the Instagram lives. So that's different, Jeff. Oh, okay. All right, whatever you say, whatever you say. Oh, and I love this story. Ellen DeGeneres has now canceled a number of her upcoming tour stops a week after telling audience members she was done with being in the public eye. Wow.

So it's been a couple of years since her afternoon talk show was canceled when staffers alleged toxic behavior on set. She told the audience for her stand-up routine last week, this is the last time you're going to see me. Dry your eyes. Get a tissue out. She launched her current tour, Ellen's Last Stand, weird, in April. And her first slate of live performances since 2019, yeah, well, she's doing all this because she still owes Netflix a comedy special. And that's what these are all about. But at a stop in Santa Rosa, California last week, she told the audience that she was kicked out of show business for being mean and said,

after my next flick special, I'm done. She said her ousting from her long-term industry, which came after an explosive BuzzFeed report that accused her of racism and intimidation was the second time she'd been kicked out of show business. I mean, okay, does that mean she's trying to say that when she came out on the Ellen show, being gay, that's when she was kicked out of show business?

Right. Okay. DeGenerra still has 14 tour dates left on the schedule. And she said, next time, I'll be kicked out for being old. Old, gay, and mean, the triple crown. I mean, ha, ha, ha. Oh, that's funny, Ellen. That's funny. But that means that there is going to be a next time, right?

Because she's saying she's done. She's going to be over. But then she makes the joke of, well, next time, I'll get kicked out for being old. So that, to me, says that there's going to be a next time. But she was asked about doing voice work and doing movies, and she said no, she's done. She doesn't want to be perceived as mean anymore. Got it? I don't want to be perceived as mean anymore.

Okay, Ellen. Okay. Calm down. Okay. I did not know that Dax Shepherd was such a big deal. And I want to apologize because apparently he is in his show. is a big deal. Dax Shepard.

All right. His podcast is armchair expert. He just signed a deal with Wondry. I guess that's through Amazon. And an $80 million deal with Amazon, Wondry to distribute his podcast. And so they inked the deal plus merchandise and new shows. Dax Shepard,

80 million podcast pack with Amazon's Wondry New shows, merchandise, and more. Congratulations to Dax. Wondry,

I just want you to know Chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher is here. And anytime you want to try to work out some kind of deal, you can call me, you could direct message me on any of my sites.

Wondry CEO, Jen Sargent, Jen, call me, said in a statement that her team have created a brand that abused quality, daring, and creativity. No, that was Dax saying that about Wondry and her CEO. Oh, okay. Well, yeah, you would say that if they just gave you 80 million. million dollars. So congratulations, Dax.

I'm happy for you. No, really. Okay, I was just reminded of something about Dax Shepard. Okay, so he's married to what's her face, Christian Bell, right? Or Kirsten or Christian or whatever the hell her name is. So he's doing, I mean, that's not bad.

She's a fairly good looking female. However, that means that's him in that stupid car selling commercial app. And that's how good the commercial is because I don't remember the app and I could look it up, but I don't want to and you can't make me.

But I hate that commercial. Hold! Hold! Hold! And then I just... Okay, now I'm pissed. Now I'm pissed. Wondry, what are you doing? Giving this guy money like to score his podcast when he's doing commercials

like that. What are we thinking? Huh. How long have you been tracking our car's value with Carvana? Just like... Yeah, it's Carvada. That's... Damn, but I didn't want to give them credit. Beep that out.

For the springtime. Oh my gosh, we're playing the hits for you today on CTF. How about I had to ask you? We had a request for Dave Loggins. Please come to Boston. Missed the post? I should have given the time. to Boston for the springtime. 1874.

I'm staying here with some friends, and they've got lots of room. I don't remember being this bad. You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk. There's got to be another version, right? There's got to be another version that's better than this. Buy a cafe where I hope to be working soon. She said, no loser.

She said no Would you come home to me? Oh yeah, she did say he should come back. All right, that's enough. Get rid of it. Rest in peace. Dave Lugges, dead at 76. So this song made his career.

Spent two weeks number five on the Billboard Hot 100. One week atop the easy listening chart. Nominated for a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. First single from his album, Apprentice in a musical workshop. and it was produced by Jerry Crutchfield. Congratulations. Now, wait a minute. The three verses of the song

contained a plea from the narrator. Oh, yeah, okay. She said no, come home to me. And he said, I can't take your bitching. No. The verses are also remembered... For their concluding line, I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee.

Oh, yeah, because I'm the number one fan. I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee. The story was almost... true except there wasn't anyone waiting so I made her up said Dave Loggins. What? So he's got he was a fascinating story so he moved to Nashville

then he crafted hit songs for Three Dog Night Joe DeMias, Don Williams, Johnny Cash Toby Keith, Winona Judd, Alabama, Lee Greenwood, Smoky Robinson, Ray Charles, Reba McIntyre, Tanya Tucker, Restless Heart, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson. Among others, there was more. The guy was a songwriting Maven. He also holds the record for being the only unsigned artist to win a CMA award for his performance with Anne Murray in 1986 for their duet.

Oh, my God, nobody loves me like you do with Anne Murray. He won a CMA award for that, but he was an unsigned artist. And he also unpened the song Augusta, which is the longest running sports theme in history for the Augusta Masters golf tournament. That's pretty amazing. So he was in hospice for a while, and he's dead at the age of 76. Very sad. It doesn't say what he was in hospice for. You know what the illness was.

But there's not going to be a funeral. And the family said donations should be made to a live hospice in Nashville, Tennessee. So rest in peace, Dave Loggins, dead at the age of 76. Now, I've got two. Oh, boy. I was already wrapping up. I've got to hear some more. California life alone is just too hard to build.

I live in a house that looks out over the ocean. Oh, God, I remember these stupid words. What am I doing? And there's some stars that fell from the sky. Uh-huh. She says that no. How many times do I have to say no? Oh my gosh, are we done now?

All right, good. I think I was ever going to get rid of that song, man. Dave Loggins, thank you. From 1974, please come to Boston right here on CTF. I'll take the third caller. You could rip me off for an Arby's a Jumoka shake and a free lube from Harry's Auto. No, I'm just kidding.

That's not true. There's no place for you to call, and you're not going to win any prizes. Okay, so now I also, I got an email that I'm going to have to apologize for. I'm going to have to get down on bend and knee, but it's not my fault, okay? It's not, I'm apologizing, but I just want you to know

that it is not my fault, all right? So I get this email, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Dear Mr. Fisher, on the podcast Chewing the Fat, I heard a report of Mr. Bonsill passing away and it was sad. He was the

member that sang the low part in the Oak Ridge Boys. Yeah, that's what I said. I said, you know, he passed away, he was and who died today. It was very sad. I was told, this is, okay, before I finish this email, I was,

well, I'll finish the email first. When I believe, he was actually the tenor singer, minor detail, I know, right? But I thought it was worth a mention because I know how you like to only report the truth on your podcast. Thank you.

I only report the truth on your podcast. Thanks for your time, Mr. Fisher. Have a great day. And thanks for keeping the podcast at such a low price. Well, you're welcome, Charlie. You're welcome. And you're right.

I like to, I do not like to tell falsehoods. And I was told by a guy by the name of Brad Staggs, who I do a show with every Saturday, Saturday morning live. And when I can, I do his little Mojo 5-0 morning thing that he does over there at mojo5.com. I like on Thursday mornings when I can't. But my point is, is I was on the phone with Brad when the news broke that this guy died. And Brad says, oh, he was great.

He was the oom pa, ba, ba, ba, the loud voice guy. So that's what I went with. I didn't know. I remember Oak Ridge Boys. I remember the songs. I wasn't necessarily a huge Oak Ridge Boys fan. But that's correct. He was not the low voice.

The low voice guy, Richard Sturban, is still alive. Sorry, Dick. Didn't mean to put you in the who died today. but so the low voice guy still alive Richard Sturban is the umbap bow bow the bass voice guy and so not the guy that I said was dead so I apologize for giving you the wrong information

because I was given the wrong information oh my gosh there's actually a way for you to make some money in Vegas. You've got to do it right away, though. The Mirage Hotel and Casino is winding down its front yard volcano, and it has, I guess, apparently rehomed the 450 fish. It also needs to offload $1.6 million in prizes before it closes its doors five days

from now. So if you're listening live, as I've told you already done this show, it is the 12th of July 2024. So they're closing the doors July 17th, 2024. Nevada law requires casinos to pay out their progressive jackpots to players before shuddering. So, the resort has promised payouts of $200,000,

at least, between Tuesday and Thursday, and we'll up the value to $250,000 Friday and Saturday of next week. So this, I guess, this has led to long waits at slop machines. The remaining 4 and 1,000 will be dispersed via the table games. So just go there. Just show up at the Mirage.

They're going to be giving away cash. They have to. Just put your hand out. I'm here. I'm standing at a table. Give me money. And they will. So the Mirage opened in 1989.

We've talked about buying some of their old stuff. The Las Vegas strip, I mean, it was the beginning of the strip in 89, the gaudy strip. The resort housed Sigmund and Roy for 13 years was featured in Vegas vacation. It originally cost $630 million to construct. The Mirage was sold for almost $1.1 billion to Hard Rock International two years ago, and the new resort, the Hard Rock, Las Vegas, will open where the Mirage sits. So what you're looking at now?

History. A ghost bulldozed over. Because in 2027, they plan on having the hard rock up in two years. Ooh, good luck. Now I'm not going to give you a full Alec Baldwin update today. I mean, just because it's not a full update, doesn't mean you can't fire the gun on time. But I'll just say I watched some of the trial yesterday.

yesterday and I've got to go back and read the transcripts and then I'm going to have to watch it today the rest of the Friday here. I'm fascinated by it. It's so, I don't know, what's the word I'm looking for? Oh, boring! And they're going through all this minutia and they're trying to show that Alec was restless, was reckless on the set. I mean, what is happening in my life today? this is why I shouldn't even have talked about them today because for some reason we have a delay

of the processing and I don't like it and now it shows up all right so that's enough of Alec Baldwin today all right before we get to before we get to what's the lie

I just want to say I'm sure you've seen the video by now and if you haven't I liked it on my ex feed it's an American Airlines flight out of Tampa, Florida. And boy, I tell you, watching this happening at Tampa International made me miss Florida because you can see the bridges and you can see the bridges on the ocean in Tampa Bay, and it makes me miss Florida even more. But the one headline I saw was narrowly avoids disaster.

Well, I don't know that it narrowly avoided disaster. I think everything happened the way it was supposed to. And the pilot did a fantastic job. And no one was hurt. There wasn't anyone harmed. And it was just what was supposed to have happened. So as he's taking off, they had multiple tires blow out. So you can see the video.

I mean, he's getting ready to leave the ground. He's getting ready to pull up and take off. He's close. I mean, he's close to full speed to takeoff speed. And the tires blow out. So he's got a slam on the brakes, keep everything even and level and slam on the brakes, which he did,

and, you know, just going forward to the runway. Now this says, you know, almost to the end of the runway. There's still a little ways before he gets to the end. I would not want that to happen because there's, you know, expressways and interstates all around there

and it would not be pretty if that actually, if he broke through the area of the takeoff. But that did not happen. and all 176 passengers and six crew members safely deplane. So I know we beat up the airlines an awful lot and deservedly so. But when they do something great, now the tires, what are they doing, blow it out? Well, you know, that kind of thing happens. I'm not saying bad or bad, that kind of thing happens.

And when it does, you want the pilots like there were the pilots of Flight 590 out of Tampa to be behind the toggle switch or the tablet, whatever they're running the plane with. Because they handled it perfectly. So congratulations. Now, if I was one of the 176 passengers or six crew members on board, you may have to go to the bathroom after that.
