Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. If you're listening live today, it is the 25th of June, 2024. Halfway to Christmas.

Yay! It's June must or June Xmas or whatever you want to call it. We're halfway there. And I hope that the dirtiest cities in America are celebrating. I was looking at the lawn starter rankings of the dirtiest cities in America. They encompassed 300 of the biggest U.S. cities based on four categories, air pollution, water quality, waste management, and resident dissatisfaction levels. Those were among of 21 total metrics. So if you're living in Baytown, Texas, Houston, Texas, Los Vegas, Nevada, Trenton, New Jersey, Phoenix, Arizona, Ontario, California, New Jersey, New Jersey, New Jersey, New Jersey, New Jersey, New Jersey,

Newark, New Jersey, Reading, Pennsylvania, Detroit, Michigan, or the number one dirtiest city in America, San Bernardino, California. Merry Junemas to you. Get out with your Christmas brooms and sweep up and help your city become just a little bit cleaner.

Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. I will say I may question the validity. of this list from Law and Starter when we have Tampa, Florida lists as the 85th dirtiest city in America, and San Francisco is 1.30th. I feel like that is not correct. But I know, it's just me.

I got it. You know, speaking to Florida, you know the family, NASA, back in the news again. Wow. And, you know, I jokingly, last week, aside from the story I'm going to talk about. Jokingly, I talked about how SpaceX was going to have to go up and rescue the Boeing astronauts and just have the SpaceX Uber. That may actually happen now.

That is hilarious to me. I mean, holy cow, they don't know when they're going to get that thing back. It's just sitting up there docked at the ISS. They claim it could leave in an emergency. No problem. Uh-huh. Then why not leave? And they haven't.

So they're just sitting there collecting dust. And apparently they only have a 45-day window. So you're looking at sometime between now and mid-July, I think, where they have to come back. So they may actually, all joking aside, send a SpaceX rocket up to rescue them. If they have to do that, oh my gosh, that is so, embarrassing. But I mean, good for the astronauts. At least they'll have a safe ride back.

Anyway, remember the house in Florida that got damaged with the space debris from the pallet of batteries that fell from the space station? They were up there and they were like, oh, we got a pallet of batteries. And, oh, man, is the trash rocket full? What are we going to do? Well, you know what? Let's just jettison off the, let's just throw it out in space. And you know what? It'll eventually burn through our atmosphere and be fine. Well, that really didn't happen, except there was a little piece of the battery that didn't burn up and slammed through the roof of this guy in southwestern Florida, Naples. And no one was home when it happened. And so Alejandro Otero, the owner of the home, that was struck by the debris, said that thankfully, you know, no one was home. And apparently now

they are asking NASA in excess of $80,000. I would be asking for a whole lot more. So it isn't actually a lawsuit yet. They're just in talks with NASA, but they are prepared to file a lawsuit if NASA says, ah, sorry, you're not getting anything. So they, I guess, intentionally kept the cost reasonable for non-insured property damage loss,

business interruption damages, is emotional and mental anguish damages and the cost for assistance from third parties. That's only a little over $80,000. That's kind of surprising to me. But apparently they're keeping it reasonable because we didn't want to appear to NASA that we're seeking a windfall. Well, so what? Dear NASA, yes, I'm seeking a windfall.

You screwed up. What's weird is if debris from another country, Chinese or Russian rocket, were to strike a family in the United States, the victims would be entitled to compensation. Under the Space Liability Convention, agreed to by space powers half a century ago, under this treaty, launching state is absolutely liable

to pay compensation for damage caused by its space objects on the surface of the Earth or to aircraft and liable for damage due to its faults in space. In international situation, NASA or some other U.S. government agency would negotiate on the victim's behalf for compensation.

Uh-huh. Yeah, I'm sure Russia is just going to write that check right now. However, in this case, debris came from the International Space Station from that old battery pack, okay? And NASA completed their upgrade, whatever, and, you know, they just jettisoned out. So they, now it's on now. So apparently this falls outside the Space Liability Convention. And right now there's no mechanism. This is amazing to me.

There's no mechanism for a U.S. citizen to seek claims from the U.S. government for damage from space debris. Wait, what? Yeah. So the O'Teo family is making the first ever claim under the Federal Tort Claim Act for failing falling space debris. This Torts Act allows someone to sue the U.S. government if there has been negligence. In this case, negligence would be that of NASA. miscalculated about the survival of enough debris to damage property on Earth. So NASA said, hey, why don't you go ahead and submit a claim?

Okay, and they did at the end of May. So now, because they submitted a claim, NASA has six months to review the claim. What a joke. The space agency, I guess, has several options. They could give the Oterra family up to $25,000 for each. of its claims based on the federal tort's claim act. If the agency seeks to pay full restitution, it would require approval from the U.S. Attorney General. And finally, NASA could just refuse the claim or make an unacceptable settlement offer, in which case they would have to file the lawsuit in Florida.

So good luck to the Orsoro family. It's incredible to me that we don't have any way to compensate people who are harmed from some of our falling space debris. That's amazing. I mean, we could just tell them, eh, sorry about it. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything.

And when it's time for you to buy or sell a house, especially in this housing market, the type of person you need is definitely the former, not the latter. A number of years ago, Glenn Beck got so fed up with the following. followers types, not to mention the leader types who didn't know what they were doing, he decided to do something about it. He started Real Estate Agents I Trust, because he didn't want

you to go through all the same hassles he had every time he moved. In fact, the one house in Connecticut, I think it ended up selling for like under 40 bucks, but it was for sale for so long. And he went through real estate agents. Nobody knew what they were doing. It's just amazing, which is what kickstarted Real Estate Agents.I trust.com. Now, Real Estate agents I trust pairs you with the best real estate agent in your area, someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer, someone you can trust. So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home or both, get in touch with them. You'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Real estate agents.

I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust. Really, I mean, the name. Says it all. Real estate agents I trust.com. That's real estate agents I trust.com. You know, if there's a city that many people are wanting to get out of, that's San Francisco. I know it's the 130th dirtiest city in America. I can't get over that. But there's another McDonald's shutting down in California, and this time it's in San Francisco. Yep. Sorry about it. got to go, your minimum wage to 20 bucks an hour was what pushed us over the edge. Really? Yes. Well, that also, we tried to negotiate a long-term rent issue. We had high property taxes. We had a mall tenant fee, all of which combined to make the Stonestown McDonald's

the most expensive location to operate out of this guy's restaurant company. And with the new wage hike, too much. Got to shut it down. and so he's been there for 30 years, and they put a sign up. It's been a pleasure for my entire team, and I to serve the 19th Avenue and Engleside neighborhoods for more than 30 years.

Has it? All of our valued team members have been offered opportunities to continue working with my restaurants, with my restaurant company, or at other nearby McDonald's. Yeah, here you go. I know you live in the neighborhood

and you work here, but hey, we'll offer you a job somewhere else. Okay. Since the new minimum wage was introduced on April, first numerous businesses across California, I mean, have shut down. Hello, we talked about the RBs. We've talked about the Taco Chain, Rubio's Coastal Grill. Love Rubio's Coastal Grill. They shut down dozens of locations across the state and filed for Chapter 11. There's a Foster's Freeze also shuttered in California, directly blamed on the new. minimum wage. And they're talking about how they're passing the prices along the customers. So McDonald's and Wendy's and Burger King and Starbucks and Chippole have raised their prices

up at least 8%, which now, you know, means that there's going to be less traffic at those stores because people don't want to pay that much money. So now they've turned into trying to make a deal, right? McDonald's has their new $5 meal on the block and it rolls out today. and it's, I think it actually rolled out yesterday, right? Because this story that I printed out yesterday, I printed out yesterday, the deal includes four items, a McChicken or McDouble,

four-piece nuggets, small fries, and a small drink, $5. Okay, well, I mean, that seems like in today's world, that's not bad. You get yourself a McDouble, four-piece nugget, small fry, and a small drink. But it's only going to be available for this.

month. Oh, okay. So now, uh, they're hoping that the $5 meal brings back customers. Uh-huh. And I guess Coca-Cola contributed to a four, six, four point six million dollars to subsidize the promotion after some franchises said it would eat into their profits. Yeah, that's the point. It's not going to eat into your profits because you're hoping to get more business from it. Dufuses. Okay. And I'm not a business guy. So whatever, you, you do you, boo. So a McDonald's is, the only one. I mean, you've got Burger King bringing out a $5 meal deal. Wendy's dropping

down to some kind of $3 meal deal. Starbucks in with a $5 coffee and pastry combo. So everybody's trying to get you through the door. And you know, if you do, you do. Like I said, you do you, boo. But

it's been a long time since I've eaten at, well, any of these places, actually. I'm trying to think the last time I guess, you know, I guess my kids go to get a McDonald's every now and then with my wife. I'm not with them at the time. But they know I'm not going to eat anything for McDonald's. But I haven't seen it. What's the last time? I don't even remember. I don't even remember the last time I went to one of these fast food places. I would rather just cook a hamburger myself and be done with it. All right, let's go to the break room.

I need something cold to drink desperately. So I've been seeing all this news about Vanna White and the Wheel of Fortune. and how she can't work with Ryan Seacrest, and she wants out of her contract now. She just negotiated a new deal for herself. She's worked 18 years for $3 million a year. I don't know how she got by on it, but, you know, I guess you figure out how to budget after a while.

So she signs a new deal for, I think, a couple more years with Wheel. And now they're saying, oh, she can't work with Ryan. and she just misses Pat so much. And I'm thinking the whole time, does she? I think we're just being had. I think we're just being played. This is something so we're talking about the show. We're not forgetting about Wheel of Fortune.

Ryan Seacrest is the new host. And maybe we tune in to that first show just to see how their relationship is going and see if we could notice any friction between the two. And just draw up some interest in the show because now you've got the Wheel of Fortune. which has been a monster show for years with Pat Sejack and Vanna. And so, you know, we're hoping that, they're hoping that it, you know, pays off with Ryan Seacrest and maybe bringing in a new demographic.

I don't know. Ryan's, what, 50 now. So I don't know how much new demographic that brings. But, okay, so it does. And she makes, she has a substantial pay increase from her, you know, poverty level $3 million a year that she was making for 18. years in a row. So, again, I don't know how she got by.

But, you know, we'll see how it goes. I just think it's just a promotion for them to draw up a little interest in the show. But to pay attention, because Vanna, according to all reports, wants out and can't work with Ryan. Uh-huh. And speaking of drawing up interest, I see Eddie Murphy making the rounds, you know, promoting his new Beverly Hills cop movie Axel F, right? He started talking also, promoting. there's going to be a new Shrek movie that's in production,

and he confirmed in this interview that the donkey, one of the franchise most beloved characters, will be getting his own standalone film. So, big surprise, Eddie, who voiced Donkey since the original Shrek film in 2001, and he said, hey, we're going to go to a solo film as well, too. So good news for you Shrek fans out there. You get a new Shrek, and you get a donkey movie, and that means you get more Eddie Murphy,

which can't be a bad thing. And as long as we're hanging out at Hollywood, let's talk about the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Not the Walk of Shame, but the Walk of Fame. The 2024, I guess this is the class of 2025, from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, announced the selections for the new people to receive a star on Hollywood Boulevard.

And we're going to have Jane Fonda. She doesn't have one yet? That's weird. David Beckham, Fran Drescher, Alan Cummings, and the late Prince. In addition to Fonda,

the motion picture honorees include John Carpenter, Jessica Chastain, Bill Duke, I love him. Robert England, Emilio Estevez, Colin Farrell,

Nia Long, Lisa Liu, Glenn Thurman, Tony Vaz, oh man. Television honorees include there's no sidewalk left? So we get Fred Drescher, we get Lauren Graham, Bill Nye, Bill Nye is going to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Stop it. Molly Shannon, Sherry Shepherd, Courtney B. Vance, Chris Wallace, Chris Wallace, the South Park creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, will be honored in a double ceremony. And then we have recording artists, Fantasia, Depeche Mode, Las Bucas, the B-52s, love that green day, the Isley brothers Buster Rhymes George Strait Keith Urban and war Okay

we need to calm down All right So they had the big press conference And walk a Wauca Famers Nisi Nash and Joe Montegang

and Jimmy Jam gave the announcement And each honorary truly admonies the essence of excellence in their respective fields uh-huh and so they've been chosen to receive a star but it's not guaranteed that they received the honor why because it costs money that's why so all these names get added and it's like we've nominated you

to give us money yay now anyone can be nominated for a star on the hollywood walk of fame well anyone that's you know a known kind of star you could nominate your favorite celebrity if you want there are more than 2,700 stars on the Walk of Fame as we speak. It's located on Hollywood Boulevard from Gower to La Brea and on Vine Street from sunset to Yucca. Now, anyone including a fan, could nominate a celebrity as long as a celebrity or his or her management is in agreement with the nomination. If there's no letter of agreement included from the celebrity, then we're not going to accept the application. So you could, and you could still have your, yeah, fine, that's fine. Go ahead.

There's a letter of an agreement. That still doesn't mean I'm going to pay you. Now, of court, I've read two different stories. One says it's 75 grand. The other says 40. So somewhere between 40 and 75,000 gets you the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Isn't that special? Congratulations.

You two can have your name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Just pay us $75,000. Yay. Yay. So there's been some stars. like Julia Roberts and Dustin Hoffman. Yeah, I'm not giving you the money to be a star on the Walk of Fame.

I'm sure there's plenty more than that. Now, a lot of people raise money or their publicist pays for it or their management team pays for it, whatever. But it's just a congratulations. I'm going to have to start the Chewing the Fat Walk of the Fame and just nominate people. And if, you know, I'll put your name up hanging on the wall

He died from a shark attack in Oahu, Hawaii. Now, you may know Tamara Perry from his appearance in the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film. He was attacked near Goat Island. was 49 years of age. He was found off of the Malakina Hana Beach. Malakahana. That's what I said. Malakihana Beach.

Malakahana. That's what I said. On Oahu's North Shore, by local surfers, with an arm and a leg missing. Oh, man, that is horrific. He was reported by a bystander and said, hey, there's a guy out there surfing from Sharkbite. You're not surfing. He's floating without an arm and a leg.

Anyway, or with just one arm and one leg. I guess he was taking a break from surfing, from his lifeguard duties, and let's go out for a little bit of swim. And the shark was not having any of it. So he was brought to shore where paramedics tried to resuscitate him. Wow, that, I mean, holy cow. But he was pronounced dead just moments later. So rest in peace, to Mayo Perry dead at the age of 49.

then we have Shifty Shell Shock and of course I don't have to tell you Shifty Shell Shock was the crazy town frontman and butterfly singer dead at the age of

49 he was found at his home he probably died of an overdose he struggled with addiction for years and years and years and I mean he was he was on the

oh what's that stupid show Celebrity rehab is not a stupid show, Jeff. Okay, so he was on Celebrity Rehab twice, and went on to also appear on the follow-up show, Sober House a couple of times as well. He was reported for, you know, he was arrested for cocaine possession and battery and DUIs,

and he struggled with addiction his whole life. And he said that you just, you just got to do it. It's a new way that you have to slowly teach yourself and you've got to do it correctly. You've got to do more than just want it. Every day now is just finding inner peace and taking care of yourself.

He has three kids. Oh, so sad. Halo, Gage, and Phoenix. And I guess now maybe he has some inner peace. Let's hope and pray for that. Shifty Shell Shack. Real name Seth Bidzer dead. Is that Shell Shack?

It's Shell Shock. Sorry, Shifty. Shifty Shell Shock, real name, Seth Bidzer, dead at the age of. of 49. Now, this is an unnamed female, 22, rest in peace, dead. If there's ever a reason not to exercise, this is it. There's video of this. She's out of treadmill, and she gets off the treadmill, and there's only like a couple feet between the back of the treadmill and this open window, which is three stories up, and she falls back through the window. It's just horrible. Just horrible.

Now, the way it's set up is really weird, the way the gym is set up. It's in Indonesia, so I don't know that the gym is going to be set up like that here in America, but they have this, it's like a walkway where all the treadbills are. And they have all these windows behind the treadbills, but they open. And there's no ledge or fencing or anything on the other side of the windows. It's just open. And she backs off the treadmill, and then it's like, oh, oh, oh. And out the window, she goes, really kind of sad.

But they tried to, she did you see her, tried to grasp onto the window frame before plummeting down. Holy cow. So I guess she was rest of the hospital with serious head injuries, but they were unable to save her life. And very sad. They didn't name her, but the local said she was a 22-year-old female. She was there with her sister, I guess, who said, hey, let's go over here. And she said, no, I want to go up and, you know, be on the treadmill. Ooh, bad choice.

So rest and peace to the unnamed 22-year-old female dead at 22. Then we got really sad news from Roy Jones Jr. The boxing champion. He posted yesterday, unfortunately, my son DeAndre took his life on Saturday. I'm so thankful that God allowed me to come home Friday night to spend the last night of his life with me and the last night. the family. I know a lot of people are going through tough times right now, but nothing is worth taking your own life. God gives it and God should be the one to take it away. Please respect our

privacy while my family and I process this loss. Thank you for the love and support, signed Roy Jones Jr. Roy Jones Jr. son, D'Andre, was 32. I don't know why. I mean, my gosh, he spent the time with his family and then he committed suicide. So sad. Wow, very sad. So rest in peace, DeAndre Jones, dead at the age of 32. If you or someone you love struggling with, need some help, and you're thinking about the possibility of suicide, we've talked about it before, dial 988. That's the lifeline chat.

That is the suicide and crisis lifeline. Just dial 988 and get some help because that thought in your head that's, everyone's life will be better without you in it is not true. And so if you need some help again, dial 988. Then we were going

crazy yesterday out of the headline that a man at the Marina Bay Sands Casino in Singapore suffered a heart attack after hitting a jackpot of $4 million. So video surfaced on social media of the man collapsing with many users

saying the man had died. However, the casinos don't want people dying in their casinos, so they were saying, nope, the guy's still alive, and he's recovering now. So it happened at the iconic casino operated by Las Vegas Sands, a Las Vegas-based gaming and resort company in Singapore. And according to the resort, he's fine. Man, he is fine. Don't you worry about it. He received immediate medical care from the casino operators, as well as help from security officers, and he is fine.

Nobody died on the floor, okay? My question is, did he really have a heart attack and died? Did he win the $4 million? Does he get to keep the $4 million? If he had the $4 million, did he think I just won $4 million? I want my wife to know, think that I died so I can keep the $4 million. I don't know. I have questions.

I have questions. But just so we know, this guy, according to the casino, did not die after he won the jackpot, okay? So stop saying it. Sadly, we did have 22 workers killed at a South Korean battery manufacturing plant after lithium batteries exploded. And of course, the cause of the blaze and the explosion is under investigation. Very sad.

But 22 workers were killed at the South Korean battery manufacturing plant. Very sad. Now, that didn't stop North Korea and doesn't stop North Korea. They're going to resume sending poop balloons into South Korea. I've said over a thousand. I will say, it strikes me funny that, hey, we're just, we hate you so much. We're going to send poop balloons and we're not stopping. Just makes me laugh. Oh, boy. And then Princess Anne, the younger sister of King King. Charles suffered a concussion and other minor injuries after an incident Sunday evening, according to Buckingham Palace. No, we don't need any Royals music or anything.

But she is 73 now. She's in South Med Hospital in Bristol as a precautionary measure for observations, expected to make a full recovery. The king, of course, has been kept closely informed and joins the whole royal family and sending his fondest love and well wishes to the princess for a speedy recovery. Heck, he's fighting cancer. he's got the daughter-in-law fighting cancer. Now he's got the sister in the hospital.

Now, apparently, we don't know this for sure. They say, you know, she's an expert horsewoman. She even took part in the equestrian competitions throughout her life. And she's been, she was part of the 76 Montreal Olympics. And so, you know, we believe, according to reports, that she may have been, you know, maybe got pushed around

had the impact from a horse. Now, there was no word on whether Camilla was around or not. It's the matcha or the three ensemble Cadocephora of the fact that I just need to denish who energize so much.

first Stanley Cup last night defeating the Eddemon Oilers 2 to 1 in game

7 it's fun game to watch really incredible I thought for sure Edmonton had it

but they just did not have enough to beat the Florida Panthers in game seven. Panthers, man, they look good. Now, I will say this. Connor McDavid, we talked about him being the greatest,

you know, hockey player almost of all time. I mean, I know Wayne Gretzky has considered that, but Connor has broken some of his records and he is, you know, Mr. Hockey. But he hasn't won Stanley Cup. He became the playoffs most valuable player because it's supposed to be the most valuable player for the playoffs. button. Now, they normally give it to the winning team who won the Stanley Cup. So he became the first player from a losing team to receive the honor since the Anaheim

Ducks, Heon Sebastian Gugliet in 2003. So congratulations to the Florida Panthers. The Stanley Cup is now back in Florida, baby. Third time in five seasons. The Tampa Bay Lightning have got a couple of those. And the Florida Panthers have this one this year. Also, congratulations to Tennessee, the University of Tennessee, as they beat Texas A&M 6 to 5 in that game 3 in the men's college world series title. It's their first title. They saw the one guy scored on the slide at home,

missed the tag. It was awesome play. I'm sure if you haven't seen the footage, it made the rounds. So congratulations to the University of Tennessee for defeating Texas A&M, 6 to 5 in game 3 of the college world. Series. Now we just have to sit through baseball until we get to football. Yay!

Oh no, Jeff, the Olympics are coming up. Oh, that's right. Well, some of the Olympics I do enjoy. So, you know, I'm looking forward to that a little. Yeah, well, we've got the basketball NBA draft tomorrow night in Brooklyn, Jeff. But, you know, if you're into it, have fun. You know, speaking of sports, I see where Under Armour announced a 430,000. $24 million settlement in a class action lawsuit brought by shareholders who alleged they were misled about the company's financial health. And I mean, they've spent a bunch of money. They just paid, I don't know, I think UCLA a bunch of money a couple of years ago and they've settled this. So anyway, this was supposed to go to trial, I believe in Baltimore, pretty soon.

So they, you know, the settlement still must be approved by a U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett, who very well may okay it without a problem. But it's really surprising to me all these stories that I've read about this and I've tried to find it and I don't know what that means for the class act, like how many people were in the class action and who gets what?

I'd like to know how what the breakdown is. So if you were part of the Under Armour class action lawsuit, email me Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. I would like to know what you get from this. Now obviously it's not a done deal yet, so I don't know. and I'd like to, you know, the attorneys probably get a couple hundred million. So then you're going to break up whatever other fees and court costs there are.

And so you're going to end up with, you know, what, two bucks. Thank you. Yeah, oh yeah, we misled our shareholders. And you got two whole dollars from this class action lawsuit. I really want to know what people got from this. So email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I'd like to know what your cut of the $4.34 million settlement will be. You can follow me on X as well at Jeffey JFR.

Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. You follow me on YouTube, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. You can obviously email the show anytime chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You can order a cameo from me at Jeffey JFR on Cameo. That, of course, is not free. That's not the way that side works. But you can just tell me what you want. You can follow me on that at Jeffey JFR on Cameo.

I probably need to post something on there just to say hello to the people that are following me. But if you can order one, you just order one. Tell me what you want, happy, glad, sad, mad, mean, you know, what you want me to, who you want me to wish, whatever, uh, whatever surprise party it's going on. And I'll take care of it for you at Jeffrey JFR on Cameo. I mean, so much left to get to today. I'm not going to be able to get to it all. We got Julius, Julian Assange, reached a plea deal with the Department of Justice that grants him release from prison. He's probably on his way to Australia. now. I mean, this guy's been held by UK authorities since 2019 after Ecuador ended his seven-year

asylum stay in its embassy in London. This guy, what's happened to him is just amazing to me. But he has, he was granted bail by the high court in London and was released at StanSett Airport, and he boarded a plane and departed the UK. I will say, I'm happy that he's finally free. What they did to him was unthinkable. as he's boarding the plane, he's climbing up into this private plane, obviously flying out of there. But at the very last step, it looks like there's like

toilet paper that was stuck on a shoe. I just say it. Maybe he was happy he got to use the bathroom at the airport without having the prison guards watching him. But when he faced all this time

in prison, they were charging him with all kinds of stuff and he was going to have like 175 years in prison. stop it. I mean, so Julian Assange is free. We've got Alex Jones saying that they're going to come after him and shut down info wars, assets liquidated, bankruptcy trustee. I don't think this takes away from the $1.5 billion he's supposed to owe these families from the lawsuit judgments. I think this is just added on. I think this is just we're trying to, you know, shut him down as much as possible. And we talked about this before that kind of works against what the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting parents say they want.

But what they really want is just to shut Alex completely up and have him gone from the earth. And it's just incredible to me that this is being allowed. It's unbelievable. I mean, from the get-go. From the whole get-go. Okay? Yeah, I'm sorry that your children were murdered in this horrific fashion. but it wasn't Alex Jones' fault.

I just, I'm just amazing to me. Okay, so I've got to calm down a little bit. So my daughter sent me like half a dozen dad jokes to share on the show. She was, she sent me a message saying, And here, I found these, these are for you and your stupid jokes. I'm going to use them. So I'll give you three today and three tomorrow.

Okay, that's, that's, that's all I'm going to break them up. We'll get two days of content out of these dad jokes, okay? So, uh, dad jokes. number one. I ran into a lamp post yesterday. Luckily, I only sustained light injuries. Singing in the shower is all fun in games until you get shampoo in your mouth. Then it's a soap opera. Think about it. And number three, today. My friend asked me, why are you carrying a nine-foot book? and I said, it's a long story. Those are good.

You can go ahead and use those. You have three more coming tomorrow. I know, that's a show tease. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
