Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Okay, I seriously am starting to be concerned over the asteroid 2024 YR4. Now, they keep revising the chance of that asteroid striking the Earth. Started out at 1.6 and then it went to 1.9 and then it went to 2.3. And now they've revised it again at to 2.4.

percent chance of the asteroid striking Earth. And I realize that that still leaves a 97.6% chance of it not striking Earth. I mean, the odds are really in our favor with these numbers, no question. However, they keep revising it. They haven't revised the year. It's still 2032, which is, I don't know if you know this, just seven years away, but they keep revising the chance that the asteroid is going to strike Earth. I feel like we're going to get to the point here in the next six months.

You know what? It's coming right at us and it's going to hit us. I'm starting to be concerned. So just a heads up that the revision is now a 2.4% chance that asteroid 2024 YR4 will strike the Earth in 2032. So do with that information what you will. But I am beginning to get a little concerned. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fats.

With the news of the asteroid revision, it makes one want to think, maybe I'll go on vacation, you know, spend a little time, a little more time with the family. And, you know what, we should probably take a cruise. Ooh, well, no. There's a couple of cruise stories that have floated around that makes one think, you know what, maybe I don't want to take a cruise. So they actually reported on the Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas cruise, which departed Tampa, Florida earlier this month, had a gastrointestinal

outbreak. Ooh, that is not good. The outbreak affected about 89 passengers and two crew members, and they have predominantly been experiencing just diarrhea and vomiting. And so the CDC is monitoring the situation. That does not sound like a fun cruise. No thanks. I'm fine. I'm fine. I don't want to go on the cruise. Then there's a story about a Minnesota man who won a free Norwegian cruise vacation, got sick on board, and now he's having to pay, or they want him to pay, $47,000 medical bill. Um, no, no thank you. So he got sick on the cruise, and they went right to the medical center aboard the Norwegian Uncour ship.

and he recovered three days later, didn't think anything of it. The couple's tour of the Caribbean came to an end, and then he learned that, yeah, the medical bill was $47,000. And to top it all off, they maxed out all his cards, and he still owes them $21,000.

Oh, okay. So what about the travel insurance that he purchased? Yeah, that was $20,000. And, you know, that's kind of now in a holding pattern because the company doesn't want to pay the insurance until his actual health insurance comes into mind. But since he was out at sea, the actual health insurance is like, no, we don't have to pay that. Now, of course, a spokesman, I'm sorry, a spokesperson for Norwegian, said that the company was unable to share details due to patient privacy laws. Yeah, there's hippo laws.

out in the ocean as well. These were necessary medical procedures, which resulted in the expenses. Oh, okay. Are you committed to providing quality medical service and services in each of your ships? Yes, we are, and we're equipped with state-of-the-art onboard medical center, staffed with highly qualified physicians and nurses

to provide care for both guests and crew while at sea. Okay. Do you guys follow guidelines for medical facilities provided by the CLIA in conjunction with the emergency? American College of Emergency Physicians? Yes, yes, they do. But we still want our money and you still owe us some money. So he's concerned that he's going to end up having to pay this money and he's already had to pay half of it or more than half as they maxed out his credit cards because they had those numbers on file. So they just charged him what they could and they still say you still owe us $21,000. I would never pay that $21,000.

never. They can tell me that they're going to keep charging me interest and they're going to say bad things about me. I don't care. There is not a chance that they would get that $21,000 from me. Anyway, if you're getting ready to go on a cruise, just beware. And be sure to have medical insurance and be sure to have enough. And if you get sick, do you say anything or just hide out in your room and, you know,

have gastrointestinal issues for days and don't say anything to anyone. I mean, that's what's going to happen. Oh, I would like to personally thank President Donald Trump. Thank you for listening to this show, chewing the fat, and then acting on the information that the show gave you. Last week, we talked about how expensive it was making pennies. So we also talked about how expensive it was to make nickels. It costs 3.69 cents to produce one penny.

And it costs 13.78 cents to produce a nickel. We went into detail last week on chewing the fat. And Donald Trump released a statement yesterday for far too long. The United States has minted pennies, which literally cost us more than two cents. This is very wasteful. I have instructed my secretary of the U.S. Treasury to stop producing new pennies. Let's rip the waste out of our great nation's budget, even if it's a penny at a time. So I just wanted to reach out and say, thank you, Donald Trump, for listening to Chewing

the Fat. I really appreciate it. Anything else I can do for you, you go ahead and email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com or, you know, I'm sure you've got my number. I'm sure you can get it. You can just text me or call me. And if it comes up that it's Donald Trump on the ID, I'll answer it. I promise. If it says White House, I don't know. I probably will answer it if it just says White House. But if it says Donald Trump, for sure, I'm picking it up. White House, I might let that go to voicemail.

You know I'm picking it up if it's the White House and or Donald Trump. Anyone else, though, yeah, voicemail. So I want to talk to you a little bit about moving and going from one house to the other, one home to the other. Anytime that you have to make a big change, it's hard. and it's especially true when you're planning to buy or sell a home. It's really complicated. It takes a lot of time, a lot of jumping through hoops.

And of course, the stakes are just about as high as they've ever get in terms of financial decisions that you make. So obviously, you're going to need a real estate agent to help you with all of this. But you don't want just some ordinary bloke who does this on the side. You want someone, you want a bloke that's the best. No idea why I call them a bloke. Real estate agents, I trust, pairs you with. with the top selling real estate agents in your area. This is some bloke who knows the best practices,

some bloke who understands the crazy housing mark. It might be a bloke S. Could be a bloke or a bloke S. You don't know. It doesn't matter because you want someone who's a team leader and a closer. Someone you can trust, whether it's a bloke or a bloke S.

So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home or both, get in touch with real estate agents. trust.com. You'll see exactly what I mean. Real Estate agents I trust. It's in the name.

So we broke down the nominees for the critics Choice Awards last week, and we, you know, they had their big celebration Friday night. I, I disappointingly did not watch it.

I'm very, I'm sorry to say. But I did look at who they chose for the winners, and the best picture was Anora. Come on, Anora. It's the American comedy drama that's based about a hooker that comes to the U.S. and, you know, wants to marry the oligarch son so that she can stay in the U.S. Yeah, okay. Best actor Adrian Brody, the brutalist. Demi Moore won for the substance.

Best supporting actor, Karen Culkin, a real pain and best supporting actress. Zoe Seldana for Amelia Perez. So they did throw Amelia Perez a bone. And you could write your own jokes with that. And the best young actor-actress went to Maisie Stella, My Old Ass. The best acting ensemble, which is, I mean, they were just adding awards now, went to Conclave. And the rest were, you know, editing and costume designs.

And I know a costume design and production design, Gladiator 2, those were the only two nominees nominated for their best production design and best costume design. They did not win. Wicked and Wicked, one of those. I did watch Gladiator 2 again this weekend, and I watched Gladiator 1 this weekend.

We got to talk about that. It was awesome. the animated feature of the Wild Robot and one which we talked about but then you get down to television dramas Shogun was a you know was the overwhelming winner for best drama

the best actress in a drama series went to Kathy Bates for Matlock do you know I have tried to get into that show I want to like that show and I just it's very difficult for me to like that show Shogun won best actor in a drama series Hierarchy Sonata

another best supporting actress in a drama series went to Amoryko Hoshi for Shogun The Best Supporting Actor in a Drama series Went to Tadando Asana for Shogun Best Comedy Series went to Hacks Well worth it, that was a really funny show Really enjoyed the heck out of Hacks All two or three seasons, whatever it's been

And a Jean Smart one again For Best Actress in a Comedy Series She was awesome And I saw where her Sidekick actress Hannah and Binder won for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Well, deserved.

She was really good in Hacks. I love that show on Max. Very, very, very funny and good. I see where Colin Farrell won for Penguin, which I thought was awesome. It was a really good series. I really enjoyed the heck out of Penguin. And so best talk show winner went to John Mulaney. John Mulaney presents everybody's in L.A.

Yeah, that's a, what a great show that is. I mean, you can't. You can't think of a talk show without thinking of the John Mullaney Presents. Everybody's in L.A. show. Can you? Congratulations to all the winners, though, for the Critics' Choice Awards. Even if I didn't mention you, you're still a winner in our hearts. Okay, so I sat through Gladiator 2.

again, because my wife had not seen it, so she wanted to watch it. And so I was happy to sit through it. I, you know, all the reviews ripped this movie apart. And I don't think it was as bad as how many portrayed it. I really don't. Was it as good as one? Not a chance. I mean, one was awesome.

And, I mean, I loved that movie. I named my kid Maximus. I still love that movie. And it comes on right after. Two. And, you know, so I mean, I must have watched that movie a thousand times and my wife was having a fit because I just let it roll after Gladiator 2 to watch the first one. Because it's been a while since I've sat through one. I could, you know, I quote every line in the movie. It's such a great movie. But two, you know, I like, maybe it's because I'm, you know, biased toward Gladiator. And, you know, it was, wasn't as good as one. No way. Not even close. But, you know, I like Danzel. and, you know, a lot of things were forced into that I didn't like. And, you know, overall, it wasn't great. But I enjoyed the heck out of it.

It was still, you know, it's still enjoyable. It's just a movie for gosh, take it. It's not a documentary. So let's get over that. Oh, and speaking to movies, I see where AMC Theaters is joining the, Hey, we have to raise our prices party. They're hiking the price of their Stubbs A list, the Cinema Chains Monthly Movie subscription membership.

Yeah. They're raising the price. But you know what? They claim that you're getting greater value for your money. Are we? Are we? Yes. According to AMC, you're going to receive an additional weekly reservation,

allowing you to see up to four movies instead of the current allotment of three per week. And all you have to do is pay $27.99 a month in New York and California and $1999 to $25.99 per month elsewhere in the country. Okay, so it's only 2799 in New York and California. That's it. So previously, the monthly plan was 24.95. I don't have to tell you that if you've already, you've got the plan. And 2295 for every location other than California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. I mean, let's just, can we make it one price?

So AMC is lowering the minimum age requirement so moviegoers at least 13 years or older can purchase a A-list subscription. As always, these tickets include premium formats, including IMAX and Dolby Cinema at no extra charge. So, yeah, you are. You're getting more, you know, more value for your dollar. I don't know anyone that has this Stubbs A list. I would be fascinated to see if it's worth it. If you have a Stubbs A list from AMC theaters, email me, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com,

and let me know if you get your money's worth. for it. I'd be really fascinated to see if it's worth the money because I feel like it's not. But I could be wrong. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

You know, last week we talked about Black Sabbath along with Ozzy Osbourne announcing they were going to do their final live performance in Birmingham, England on July 5th. And it's their first show since they've I don't know since 2017 or something

and you know and it's the first with the band's original lineup since 05 and it's dubbed back to the beginning. It's a high profile event they're bringing in all these other great metal bands to play as well and it's going to be you know it'll be it'll be cool to see

I'm looking forward to it and Ozzy is you know kind of he's getting up there now and he's really struggling and remember the wife said he was fine and he's looking he's better than ever well is he because he just announced, and I don't know if you listened to the

serious XM program, Ozzy's Boneyard, but man, you can't tear me away. You can't tear me away from Ozzy's Boneyard. And he discussed what fans might be able to expect from the farewell show, and he had announced that he can no longer walk. He's in a wheelchair.

Ooh, that is really not good for Ozzie. But he went on to say that, look, I'm not complaining. I'm still alive. I may be, you know, moaning that I can't walk, but I look down the road and there's people that didn't do half as much as me and didn't make it. You're right, Ozzy. And I can't wait for the next edition of the Serious XM program, Ozzy's Boneyard, where we find out what's going on inside of Ozzie's Boneyard. Oh, and I see where Netflix, they were putting together a documentary about prints, and they said it was going to be some controversial

Prince Netflix documentary. Well, this is not going to be released now. Well, I mean, hopefully somewhere down the road we'll be able to see what we now missed. But the estate is free to create a new project. Oh, okay. So Netflix has canceled the release of what was supposed to be the six-part prints documentary,

directed by Ezra. Edelman and the Prince estate and Netflix said you know we've come to an agreement. The estate is going to develop and produce a new documentary featuring exclusive content from Prince's archives. Okay. So what happened? Well, they put together this Edelman documentary and he's the guy that created the OJ made in America documentary.

And so they made this deal. and the Prince's Archives with the first drafts of the deal that was made between Netflix and Comerica Bank, the interim executor of Prince's estate, calling for a six-hour series. Instead, Edelman reportedly delivered nine hours of footage, which, according to them, technically is a violation of the agreement that presumably enabled the estate to withhold music rights. So he came to the table with more footage than what they had said they wanted, and that that was a violation.

And so they shut it down. Interesting. I guess the documentary was supposed to feature Prince's ex-girlfriends, accusing him of physical and emotional abuse. And they, you know, they were touching on Prince's journey. I mean, I love Prince. I thought he was awesome. I saw him live a couple of times.

I met him once. He was, you know, incredible. But, you know, he was a weird dude. He was Prince. Hello. So I'd be fascinated to see the nine hours of footage that Edelman has. that is not going to be released now. Will we ever see that?

I don't know. The internet is a wonderful place, isn't it? Why, yes. Yes, it is, Jeff. In fact, you can go to the internet and follow me on my ex account at Jeffrey JFR. You can follow me on my Instagram and Facebook accounts under Jeff Fisher Radio. You can follow me on my YouTube page, Chewing the Fat, with Jeff Fisher. You can order a cameo from me over the internet at Jeffrey JFR on the cameo app.

That is not free, but it is worth every darn, well, not going to make pennies anymore. It's worth every darn't penny because pennies are going to be worth a lot more now that they don't make them, aren't they? Could be old pennies could be a really good investment. Ha! Yeah, right. Do not listen to me for any investment advice, I'll tell you that. And of course, you can email the show anytime chewing the fat at theblaze.com, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You could use that email address to tell me you'd like to be a contestant on what's the lie.

That's the game show that we play every Friday. You can use that email address, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com, to send me a joke that I could use for the joke of the day, which we'll have one upcoming. And you can also use that email address to send me ideas, what you think of the show, I see them all. I may not respond to them all, but I do see them all. And thank you for the kind words. And those of you that send emails that are not kind words, I'm not thanking you. I do need to apologize, though, because, speaking of thanking people, I did not realize last week, the 4th of February, was National Thank a Mail Carrier Day. I'm sorry. I did not know this day existed and I apologize. I wanted to be the Postmaster General. I want to sit on the Board of

Governors and I should know when National Think of Mail Carrier Day is and it's February 4th and so I missed it. I want to apologize. I know that many mail carriers feel there are unsung heroes that keep us in touch with the world. So I mean I know we have a thing called I don't know email and text and other ways to reach people through the internet, but we still have a mailbox in front of our house and it gets delivered to every day or almost every day. So I want to say thank you to all the mail carriers out there. I apologize for not doing it on your day, which is February 4th. It's in my calendar now. So I won't forget that February 4th is National Thank a Mail Carrier Day. Now, I'm guessing that I can say thank you any day of the year,

but it's just that special day that, you know, I should have put a little note in the mailbox or put a little post-it note on the lid or the cover of the mailbox just to say, hey, thank you, mail carrier, for everything that you do. So if you forgot as well that February 4th was National Thank you Mail Carrier Day,

go ahead and, you know, say thank you to your mail carrier and, you know, I'll be it late, but still get that thank you in. When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner?

A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous for less. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with actor and a Tony Award-nominated theater performer,

Tony Roberts. Tony Roberts, dead at the age of 85. Now you're going to say, Tony Roberts, that name doesn't sound familiar. well if you were to see him you would know him he's been in all kinds of movies a lot of Woody Allen movies he's been uh you know he was in Xanadu and uh you just remember

he's one of those guys when you see him you go oh yeah him and he's been an actor since forever he said his uh his acting career started before he went in high school he knew that he wanted to be an actor his dad was a radio guy and do a bunch of and he was, you know, surrounded by them, uh, forever and always wanted to act. And he said he was very lucky in his career. He was, uh, he was, he was sick and died of complications

of lung cancer. Uh, probably means that Tony was, uh, you know, a smoker. Uh, usually is the case. Might not have been. Might not have been. But I would just have to say that he probably was and probably thought he was doing fine until he, you know, was vaccinated, uh, as all. Hollywood people were and I just exacerbated the cancer. That's me talking. Not the medical profession, though. So when you see Tony Roberts,

you go, oh yeah, that guy. So he's definitely one of those actors that is an oh yeah, that guy actor. Tony Roberts, rest in peace, dead at the age of 85. Then we have Dick Giron.

Dick Giron, former Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, head football coach, dead at the age of 74. He also had a brief bout with cancer. Huh. That's weird how these cancers are just firing up out of nowhere, isn't it? It is. Yes, it is. Anyway, Dick Geron, dead at the age of 74.

Then we have Irish boxer John Cooney. John Cooney. He was his... hit, well, a lot in a championship bout boxing, and the fight was stopped. In the ninth round, he was getting beat so bad. And then a week later, he died. Very sad.

Irish boxer John Cooney dead at the age of 28. I mean, that's part of the deal. When you're a boxer, it's definitely possible. I mean, he was defending his belt. and then they stopped the fight because he was getting beat too bad. And apparently he suffered an intercranial hemorrhage, required emergency surgery to relieve the pressure on his brain. They thought they had it taken care of.

He was in critical condition in intensive care, and he battled for his life for a week and could not win. Could not win that battle. Very sad. Very sad. Rest in peace to John Coney, boxer, at the age of 28. Then we have Dolly.

No, not that Dolly. This Dolly, the oldest rhino in the United States, has died at a Tennessee Zoo at the age of 56. Very, very sad. Dolly, the rhinoceros from the Zoo Knoxville, she was really, really sick and had some mobility issues, and so they killed her. I'm sorry, they euthanized her.

Yeah, they did what was best for her because she got, you know, old-age medical care and finally the decision was made by Dolly's veterinary team that, yeah, she's just not going to make it. So let's just put her down. And they did. And I'm sure it wasn't easy. I'm not, you know, it's funny to me

because everyone has, you know, cares so much about the animals, but because they care so much, you know, the priority was her comfort and dignity and knowing that she was surrounded by people who knew her best, and they were all, you know, there, I'm sure, crying and touching her when they killed her. So Dally the rhinoceros, I'm sorry, when they euthanized her and made her, you know, eased her paint at Zoo Knoxville. Rest in peace to Dali, the oldest rhino in the U.S. or was the oldest rhino in the U.S. dead at the age of 56.

So if you had tickets to see Michael Bolton in London at the O2 Arena on July 5th, sorry. Hey, that's the same day of the Aussie show, right? Yeah, yeah, it is. And it's in England as well. So I'm sure that the Michael Bolton crowd isn't the Aussie crowd, but the show definitely would be an understory because Ozzy is doing the show. I'm sure they didn't have anything to do with Michael canceling the show at the O2 Arena in July 5th

because he is still using his little brain surgery. I'm still recovering from brain surgery. I can't do the show. He had the brain, they had the operation in 2023 to remove a brain tumor. And I feel like we talked about that. He had very sad that, I don't watch that on anybody. But he was supposed to come back last year. And they pushed it back and said, no, he can't do it.

He's still recovering. And then now it was supposed to be on July 5th. And they pushed that back as well. And they said, yeah, I'm continuing to heal from surgery. Man, you just keep milking that brain surgery, Michael Bolton. I don't know how we're supposed to live without you. I just heard that song not too long ago. Oh, my gosh.

That's one that sticks in my head. But it's a good excuse. I'm not saying that he canceled him because it was the same day that Ozzie's making the big black Sabbath come back in England. I'm just saying it's interesting that it was supposed to be the same day and now it isn't. And it's, oh, oh, oh, my brain surgery, my brain surgery. I mean, how long are you going to use that excuse?

All right, we can't do the show without talking about the Super Bowl. you know that. It was a dominating performance by the Philadelphia Eagles.

No question. Jalen Hurt got the most valuable player, but it really should have just gone to the defense. They were the MVP. I mean, they just crushed Kansas City the entire game. And Sequin should have changed cleats. Man, he kept slipping on the turf. Somebody get him some new cleats on so he doesn't slip.

My wife was happy, of course, being a Philadelphia fan. She was wearing her Eagles jersey. and she had decorated her cast. Yes, she's still in a cast with her, you know, with her eagles gear. So she was happy that they won. I was interested, you know, they kept showing some of the luminaries

throughout the game. They never showed Trump during the game. Not one time. They showed all these other luminaries. We got Taylor a couple times. Speaking of Taylor, she wasn't wearing any Kansas City gear. Did she jinx the team,

not wearing any Kansas City gear? I found that really kind of strange that she didn't have. any chief's gear or does that mean her and Travis are getting close to being on the outs i don't know i don't know and you know when they showed her up on the jumbotron uh one time uh the crowd booed i mean the philadelphia the eagles fans are going to boo a kid in a wheelchair with a kansas city jersey on i mean eagles fans are going to boo you that's just the way it goes but it was surprising that taylor you know did not get the an overwhelming you know applause when they showed her on the jembo

screen. She was, I think, a little taken aback at that. But they kept showing other luminaries. I saw Kevin Costner and Paul McCartney and, you know, everybody was there. But during the game, they didn't actually show President Trump. I found that, I don't know, weird. You know, just even one time they didn't have Kevin or Donald Trump say, and our president of the United States is here today. Because they showed him in the pregame.

He was down on the field, shaking everybody's hands. the one time that they showed him on the Jumbotron and on television was during the National Anthem and people were really torn because they were in the middle of the National Anthem and they showed Donald Trump and the crowd wanted to cheer. They wanted to cheer and they started to cheer

and then they realized, oh crap, we're in the National Anthem so they couldn't. And it was just kind of a strange thing because when they showed them, if they just showed them the one time on television they wouldn't have necessarily had to show them on the Jumbotron at the same time, but they should have at least given him a little bit of love during the game. And, you know, they did not.

A little weird to me. And then we had the big halftime show with Kendrick Lamar. How good was that, huh? Man, that was, wow, that was, I was just terrible. I get it, it's Kendrick. He's got a thousand Grammys. He's got a million Grammys. Nobody knows his songs.

That's not true, but, you know. You're not humming his songs. And he did his, you know, did all his hits. And he had, What's His Face show up to play Uncle Sam. Samuel L. Jackson. They all did their thing. So, you know, it is what it is. It's just weird that was Kendrick Lamar at halftime.

But, you know, I like again. I hate to say this, but it is what it is. And then we had one protester, some guy with a Palestinian flag during halftime, which they did not show on television. But thanks to a thing called, I don't know, social. media, we all get to see what's going on in the stadium and around the world. That's the way it goes. We had Tom Brady announcing, as I mentioned, with Burkhart. He was okay. Tom's okay. He's not terrible, but he just, he isn't that good either. So I'm not, you know, he's Tom Brady. And so whatever, you know, you

still, you still sit that on the table and go, yeah, he's Tom Brady. So yeah. You know, you know, know, I appreciate that. And I appreciate his knowledge. I wish he would do better sharing some of his knowledge on his, as an announcer. But whatever, he's Tom Brady. So, you know, you just quote me on that. And, you know, he looked good wearing his $740,750,000,

watch, Mr. Showoff. Okay, I got you. And so, we'll see. It was just, and Fox was, I love the post game. Nobody, nobody talks about the screw ups. They did a really good job. and there was some great, you know, some great stuff happy during the game and the cameraman

and one of their top cameramen is retiring, and they paid a little homage to him and what he's done for Fox and for the league, as far as being a camperman. That was awesome. But then they go to the post game, and Goodell is, Roger is already speaking, and the mic's not turned on.

And they finally turned it on. They upcut it, just as he's saying, the Philadelphia Eagles. And so, you know, I guess we just let that go. Okay, fine. No problem. Don't worry about it. That was just a production thing. That's fine.

All that, having been said, congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles for being the Super Bowl champions. They defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40 to 22, and it wasn't even that close. I mean, it was the 22 was just gimmee points in the fourth quarter. They dominated the Kansas City Chiefs the entire game. So it wasn't even close that the Chiefs were going to three-peat this year.

which is, you know, kind of sucks for the Kansas City Chiefs, no question. But the Eagles were not having any of it. As for the commercials, boy, oh boy, there were, I don't know that there were any really, really outstanding commercials that played during the Super Bowl. There were some that were okay, some that were funny, some that weren't so funny, some that were touching, I guess, a little bit. I mean, we had the Pfizer ads for breast cancer. We got to see boobs jumping around. We had the Pfizer ad for cancer as they're fighting cancer. So, I mean, Pfizer spent a lot of money on the Super Bowl.

And the NFL was happy to take it too. And so was Fox. And they just spent a lot of money on the commercials. And they weren't promoting vaccines. They were promoting health care and how they're all good. We're all good with Pfizer and health care. and they're helping us beat breast cancer and any kind of cancer.

Just look how much we love this little kid and women's breasts. And we got all that. Then we had, we had the Harrison Ford ad for Jeep was okay. Not bad. Made me laugh, you know, as he talked about where his favorite place was, you know,

in a Jeep, even though his name was Ford as he whispered it. Kind of funny. Especially after Ford lost, you know, like, I don't know, they announced yesterday or the day of last, sometime last week that they lost $49,000 on each electric vehicle it sold last year?

Oh, okay. No wonder they're cutting their business side of the electric vehicles. Yeah, nobody wants your electric vehicles. With the Harrison Ford ad for Jeep, they showed both. You know, he, of course, loved the electric one. At least that's what he portrayed in the commercial. But they were promoting all the vehicles that Jeep has, not just the electric ones,

but those damn gas-guzzling ones, too. So that was fun. I don't know what else. There was other commercials that, you know, caught my... Obviously, we played the Hellman's commercial from Harry Met Sally, which is really good.

They may have played the long, the extended version. I only saw the short version of it during the game. I saw... Oh, the seal commercial. Ah! ha! That was weird and funny.

Weird and funny. I know seal was involved, and of course he was there at the end saying, I was a darn good looking seal. But the whole thing was a little weird with the, with seal as a seal. It's just kind of weird. The tongue commercials, the mustache commercials.

One, what delivery service was it that had all the mascots for their delivery service? Instacart. Instacart was the commercial. And it had, you know, Chester, Cheetah and puppy monkey baby, the Jolly Green Giant, Mr. Clean. I mean, that was kind of fun. They see all the mascots for these companies and their products. That was kind of fun.

I did enjoy that. Yeah, the Dunkin' Donuts one was okay, I guess. Overall, very okay Super Bowl. I mean, I don't know that we actually, you know, we were happy in my house that the Eagles were in the Super Bowl because, you know, my wife's family is from Philadelphia, so we were all cheering for Philadelphia. But, you know, overall, that's kind of where I'm at. Overall, I mean, I watched it, and it's a sad day because football is over.

The football season is over. And I know there's the UFL and I got it, but it's not NCAA college football or the NFL. And so, you know, those games are done. And that's a sad moment in my life. I have to actually, you know, talk to people. in my house or maybe read some books or watch some shows that I haven't that I haven't had time to watch

because of football. So, you know, football's over. It's done. I will be interested to see what the numbers were. Are they going to be the same as, same or more than last year? I don't think so. Especially, maybe the first half will. But once the Eagles were just destroying Kansas City, I feel like people went away.

So we're probably going to get, you know, we'll get those numbers and we'll see that, you know, the first half was a huge and a ballooned to 180 trillion people and then at half time it went down to you know 80 million or 100 million because last year I think it was 123 maybe a little bit more than 123 million people watch the Super Bowl so we'll see what the numbers were and then I see the show after the Super Bowl on Fox was the floor I mean boy are we struggling to make shows a hit at Fox if we're putting the game show The Floor on instead of one of your big dramas.

Wow. Okay. All right. Yeah, it was great. Let's watch. What's his face? Rob Lowe host, I think this was season three. Uh-huh.

Season three of the floor right after the Super Bowl. So you get time slot hit ratings. But maybe not that much because maybe you had so many households turn away from the Super Bowl because it was a blowout that they didn't stick a round to see the floor with Rob Lowe. All right, that's enough on the Super Bowl. I know. I know.

I've just bummed that football is over. All right, let's get out of here. I'll leave you with the joke of the day. The joke of the way the day sent from Michael, who emailed the show, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. Joke of the Day. And I don't know that Michael actually wrote this, but he shared it. So we'll, you know, we're showing with you here on chewing the fat.
