Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Interesting news coming from the Koreas. You know them as South and North Korea. So recently, South Korea implemented the special act to end the breeding, slaughter, and distribution of dogs for human consumption, which effectively bans the sale of dog meat.

What? What? Well, North Korea is like, how about no, we eat dogs here. Okay. That's traditional food of the nation, all right? And sure, the popularity of dog meat in North Korea peaks during the summer months. You know, when they're out running around. Particularly, you know, so the three hottest days of the year, according to the lunar calendar there in North Korea is a very good time. to get your dog meat. And the specialized dog meat restaurants see a surge of customers when it starts to get extra warm out of North Korea. So the thing is, we've talked about this before a couple of times,

and I like to make fun. Really, they're not eating fluffy, okay? When you look at the dog markets in China, they're like our cattle. You know, they breed the dogs to be food. So you're looking at, you know, dog, they all look the same. They're all cattle. they're just meat laying there on the table.

It's not fluffy. They're not eating fluffy. We've talked about this before. But we have such a thing in this country and now South Korea that, you know, we can't eat dog. There are pets. We can't eat dog. If you're hungry, you're going to be eaten whatever you can. I mean, those countries in Africa that are slaughtering all their all their animals,

the elephants, the water buffalo, it doesn't matter. they're slaughtering them because they need food, ship them some dogs. Ship them some dogs. Maybe South Korea could help out and say, hey, we've implemented our special act to end the breeding slaughter and distribution of dogs for human consumption.

We still have a bunch of dogs here that have people been breeding. How about we ship them to Nambia? I mean, I'm just thinking out loud here. Welcome. And know that if you go to South Korea now, I know, dry your eyes. You won't be able to eat dog meat.

Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Okay, sure, the largest port on the East Coast has begun preparations for a strike. Yes, and which means that the domino effect of ports around the country and the U.S. and the world are affected. The ILA represents over 85,000 port workers. And for those of you that don't know, it's the International Longshoremen's Association,

the ILA, is going to shut down five of the ten busiest ports in North America and a total of 36 ports along the East and Gulf Coast. What could possibly go wrong when you do that? There's only an estimated $34 billion. in freight already in route to those ports and 147 ocean vessels already in route to those ports. So they're just to be expected to be here

a lot more about that. And sure, we've got the UAW threatening to strike at Ford and Stalantis again because I guess they're not, the UAW is claiming that the Ford and Stalantis have not kept up their part of the deal. sure we have the Boeing employees over 30,000 on strike. And now Boeing is saying, well, you know what?

We're going to temporarily furlough tens of thousands of employees. We need to cut some costs amid the ongoing strike. What? Yeah. The strike is on. And that's affecting, you know, another domino effect out throughout the whole company. So we're going to temporarily furlough those employees. We're not firing them, though.

We're just telling them, we're not paying you. Okay, we're not working. Sure, we have the New York Times tech workers. We talked about the other day threatening to strike because they're sick of people putting scent and candles in the break room. So they've got to shut that place down. And it's just, it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable what's happening.

It really is. And really, I know I need to care about that, and I do. I actually do care about that. I do care about the port shutting down. I read a long story this morning about that. And I could probably do a whole show on the port shutting down. The fallout from that and what they're preparing for and how they're trying to open up other ports

and how this administration is not okaying the dock workers to work. But the administration could override the strike. Our president, what's his name again? Oh, yeah, Joe Biden, he's still in office. He could say, hey, you got to get back to work. But the unions to say, go ahead. Because we'll just slow down. We'll be at work, but we won't work like we're supposed to,

which is agonizing it out of itself. So they'll go ahead with your strike then. They'd rather shut it down than slow it down. That's amazing. That's amazing to me. Just amazing. I think we are in for trouble. If those, if we need whatever those guys want,

whatever the what is their stupid union called again the ILA sorry the international I'm not be smirching the long shorman's association I know I know who works there I'm just saying the international

longshoremen's association not be smirching you just give them what they want we don't need to be shutting down these ports but really what I'm concerned about is the story that I read that really kind of irked me and it's

illegal baby names in the U.S. and around the world. Yeah, I'm not irked about, I am more than irked about the actual, you know, company striking and the unions. But this really kind of pissed me off.

I should be able to name my kids, whatever I want. So apparently there's actual names that you can't use when you name your children. And I don't like it. They're not approved. I know. So they give you a list,

well, they're small list. So some strictly, specifically, in the United States and then we'll get to the world, but specifically in the United States. Kentucky have none in place, but there are a few handful of names that have been ruled illegal

in the courts here in the United States of America. Like, I can't name my kid King, because I can name my dog that. I can't name my kid Queen. I can't name my kid Jesus. Christ. I can't name my kid three. And by that, I mean the

three straight up lines. I guess that's three. It might be ill or ill or l-l-l-l-l- or three. But you know what I'm talking about. Like, if someone is Bill three. I can't name my kid Santa Claus. I can't name my kid majesty.

I can't name my kid majesty. You can't name him majesty. If I pronounce it different, Maybe I can name him that. I can't name my kid Adolf Hitler. You know, first of all, I'm not going to name my kid Adolf, okay? But I feel like I feel like I should be able to if I want to. If I want to name my kid Adolf, I should be able to name my kid that.

Messiah, I can't name my kid the at symbol, which I mean, I think Prince did that 100 years ago. And I can't name my kid 1069. I'm not sure why you can't name your kid 1069. I guess because adults think that's some kind of sex thing. I don't know. I don't know. So I just irks me. It just irks me because I should be able to name my kid whatever I want.

If I want to name my kid, toe, nail, your kid, that's toe and nail. If I want to name my kid, you know, if I have a third one, maybe we name him fungus. Are these your kids? Yes, they are. This is tow. This is my oldest. This is my middle child nail And the young one is a fungus

So I mean those are my kids I want to name them that I should be able to The kids can deal with it later in their life If they don't like it Your name is what? Yeah my name is Toe T-O-E Really? Yeah

My dad named me Toe I mean okay If I want They can change it they can keep it I feel like most people Grow into their names You know, it's just kind of like, I can't believe that my name is middle. And my brother's name is finger.

I can't believe that. I can't believe that. But, you know, like the joke that we did about the dad saying that the kid's name was pizza because dad loved pizza when he's, and he loved pizza at the time he was born. And then the daughter said, oh, that's interesting. And he said, that's right. I can't remember the joke now. That's right.

I can't remember what the name of the kid was. That's right. Oral or, yeah, that's right, oral. Yeah, something like that. Oh, Anus. That's right, Anus. Anil, Adel. Get the joke right, Jeff.

So, Dad, why is my brother's name, Pizza? I don't know. Well, I really liked pizza when she was born. Oh, thank you, Daddy. Oh, you're welcome, Anil. You should be able to name your kid Once you want to name your kid I don't like being told I can't

I don't like being told I can't do something So then they go on I gotta go down here and click into their Read the Full Report And so it's illegal names in the U.S. And around the world So when you get into other countries Like in New Zealand I can't name my kid

Chief Maximus which is concerning because I have a son named Maximus, but I don't name him Chief Maximus. Robocop in Mexico, you can't be called it. You can't name your kid Robocop. Another dozy in New Zealand's probably a nightmare. Sexfruit, I can't name my kid's sex fruit in New Zealand. See, the thing is, I probably wouldn't, but now I want to.

But now I want to. What's your name? Sexfruit Fisher is my own name, okay? That's what my dad named me. In Saudi Arabia, this is a horrible name Linda you can't name

you can't name your kid Linda in Saudi Arabia I don't know why one of the one of the princes got pissed at a Linda and we're banning that name forever in Malaysia can't name your kid

Snake I would love to know what caused these names to be banned in Italy you can't name your kid Friday, China, Islam. Oh yeah, you can't even be Islam in China. Hello.

Oh, we're not supposed to know that? Oh, okay, never mind. Morocco. Here's another one. Sarah. Yeah, you don't want to name your kid Sarah in Morocco or Linda in Saudi Arabia. You don't want that. In France, you can't name your kid Prince William.

Yeah, because he's actually going to be the king of another country, so we're not doing that. In the UK, you can't name your kid, cyanide. Now, that's a good name. I do like that name, cyanide. Si, get over here. You could call him Cy. You could name him Cy in the UK, CY. And then, you know, his middle name could be Ionide.

So it wouldn't be cyanide all the one. beside a nide, Fisher. It does. It rolls right together, no problem. In Switzerland, you can't name your kid, Judas. I understand the meanings behind this. I do, but stop it with this thing. You want to name your kid, name your kid.

And then if the kid doesn't like it, the kid can change it. I mean, come on now. I realize that your kid isn't... Which one are you? I'm fungus. Fungus. That's my third kid. Yeah. That's just, I know, he's, yeah, he's,

he always just bugging toe and nail. That's the whole damn foot family is right there. It's just, if I want to name my child a name, I should be able to do it. No matter what it is, damn it. Is it just me? Eh, probably. With Amex Platinum,

$400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. All right, so why haven't I received an email yet from the Strong National Museum of Play?

The Hall of Fame for Toys. I have them on every year. They've just named the finalist for 2024. that they have the possibility to go into the museum and I haven't heard from them and I want to know why. Nobody builds up there in Rochester, New York.

No one supports Rochester, New York, more than me in this show, Chewing the Fat. In fact, there's ketchup sent to me by a listener because we made fun of Rochester. I got to sit back here somewhere. I know I apologize. We haven't talked about it yet. I did get your ketchup.

It's got the letter. saw your letter. Thank you. Jeff Wright. Thank you for sending it to me. And no, I realize that you want me to try your red, gold ketchup that's not Heinz. I get it. Thank you. Appreciate it. In fact, we did try it the other morning because we didn't have any ketchup here. I won't give you my review. But thank you. Just know that it's not Heinz. But thank you. No one talks to Rochester more than me. And I want to know why I wasn't, why they didn't send me the email. So anyway, the new toys for the toy museum that could possibly go to the toy museum this year is apples to apples

they're going to balloons choose your own adventure game books hess toy trucks you know how many of those damn has toy trucks i have i have i have i bet you i have i have the full collection but i have a lot of them man there's pictures i mean i've put them all up on the stairs in our house on the stairway It lit them all up, made sure they all had batteries in them and all the little plane and the little race car and the little toilet seat or whatever the hell it was. They had batteries in it. It was all lit up on the stairs. It's actually kind of cool. But we used to get hestrucks every year.

And my parents thought it was a cute gift. Anyway, so I've got them all. I still have them. Why? Because I can't throw anything away. That's why. That's why. So then we have my little pony.

Okay, I've got a thousand of those things. Phase 10, what a great game. I've played that game. I was forced to play that game forever. Phase 10. The game was played a lot at my parents' house. A Pokemon trading card game. Remote-controlled RC vehicles.

Those were cool. Those were cool. Then we have the game sequence. We have the stick horse, the hobby horse. I can't believe that's not actually in the museum yet. the trampoline yeah the mini trampolines heck yeah Transformers

Transformers why why in God's name is Transformers not in the Toy Hall of Fame what are we even doing and I have like a well my son does have a billion dollars of Transformers in my home

I believe I'm just under a billion now and when he says oh those are mine a lot of them came when the money was coming from my pocket book by the way I know you got them. All right. Yeah, they're yours.

But I mean, that's a, it's a, that's my retirement fund now is the Transformers. There's no doubt about that. The movie was great. Remember, I told you yesterday. I loved the movie. It was fun. And, uh, madassadron. You'll get it when you see the movie.

It was fun. And I told you, I can't go to those movies. I told you yesterday, I was mad at him because I'm not in the movie. There was plenty of, there was plenty of times where there were characters that should have been me. I know they had the big name. in there, I got it. Oh, you're as good as Hemsworth now. I didn't say that.

But, I mean, I could make that argument. But I'm just saying that I should have had a part in that movie. There's several parts. There's two parts that I remember during the movie specifically where my wife went, That should have been you. That's what I'm saying. So anyway, Transformers, they deserve to be into the Toy Hall of Fame. So you get a player's choice ballot, and you can vote now at the,

at the Museum of Play.org. And why haven't they contacted chewing the fat? I'll tell you that. I want to know. I want to know. I want to reach out, but then I don't know what I'd say to him

other than, what the hell are you thinking? And then they'll be mad. And it'll be all over. So just go to the website and vote for your favorite toy to go into the Toy Hall of Fame. Okay. All right, let's go to the break room.

I need something cold to drink desperately. Big surprise here. McDonald's has decided to extend their $5 meal deal. I know. I know. I am so color me surprise. Color me surprise. They're fall deals.

They've got new deals going on. And they've decided that, you know, why, well, those $5 menu deals, they seem to, people seem to like those. And people seem to think that they were spent. any less money. Ha! They were coming to our

establishment. So we're going to leave those deals in. So we got that going for us at McDonald's anyway. So just know that McDonald's has deals for you. Still in place throughout the fall.

And I'm guessing, and this is, you know, they certainly did not consult me. But I would guess that once we get midway through the fall, they're going to go, you know, we've just,

decided to keep our deals, you know, through the holidays, through the holidays to help people out. So you can pretty much count on that. So Oprah in the news, you know, she held her little town hall thing with Kamala Harris last night and it aired on multiple social platforms. There were multiple places that put it up on their YouTube channel. She did not, though. It did not go up on the Oprah Winfrey YouTube channel. Interesting, as it may seem.

It was in Michigan, and it was agonizing because, of course, Kamala Harris had answered all the questions without actually answering all the questions, and she has absolutely no plan for anything. But I digress. I'm talking about Oprah here, not Kamala. Oprah had a documentary that was going to air on Apple TV Plus, and it would chronicle the 25 years of American history through the lens of Oprah Winford. in two parts. And Kevin McDonald and there's Lisa S. Palmer headed the project.

And now we find out that people, hey, what happened to the Oprah doc? You know, you guys, you guys are going to air that there on Apple Plus? You guys are always looking for content. You know, we like to, I know people are watching, you know, slow horses and bad monkey

and whatever the other animal. show you got Aaron that you think that's interesting. I don't know what you're going to name Oprah's documentary. I'll let you write your own jokes. Apparently, Shibi has purchased the rights to that documentary back. And it's going to sit on

the shelf now. And I was it, what happened to that documentary? I don't know what I did with that thing. What did I do with that thing? It's sitting somewhere. So, apparently, Oprah was very unhappy with the documentary. and there's she just bought it back and it's going to sit on a shelf

Makes one want to view it even more though Doesn't it? And speaking to new shows I see where Amazon Is launching a shark tank style Entrepreneur Competition show With a panel of celebrity judges Including

Goops, Gwyneth Paltrow So that'll be good that'll be great no it will don't look to be like that man that first episode then it'll be no no no it's Gwyneth Paltrow

she's a big star and she's got her own line there on poop or goop or whatever the hell the name of the website is but she's got her own vagina candle she's got it all she's a huge huge huge star

then I see where Black Mirror is scheduled for season seven I thought he was done I thought they were done with the black mirrors But nope Netflix saying black mirror is set for Seventh season Featuring the star-studded cast

And they give a long list of all the stars that are in it And several faces from previous installments Which I thought was a no-no For Black Mirror Plus they're going to revisit one or two of the episodes Which I also thought was a no-no But apparently it's not a no-no when Netflix says, hey, we need you to do a season seven.

And, you know, you had all those rules and everything. But here's all this is a bunch of money. And we need season seven out there. So you do whatever you need to do, but the shows need to happen, okay? I know you said you weren't going to do it. So if you need to revisit some of those shows and have some other actors that maybe were in the previous shows

that you said you weren't going to use anymore, maybe you do that this time because we need season seven, okay? And apparently Black Mirror people said, well, okay, yeah, we'll do it. Plus, there were all kinds of reports going on in Hollywood. Speaking of Big Stars, Ben Affleck was with Jennifer Lopez. There were pictures everywhere. I thought they were breaking up. I thought it was over.

The divorce papers were. She sent the divorce papers in. They still got to work out. There's no pre-nup. So they're still trying to work out. that that's what that is exactly so the story was

is that Ben was all over Jennifer and with our hugs and kisses and they went to brunch and the kids were there and there were pictures there and Ben just was all over J-Lo and it was they couldn't keep his hands off her

was the report he couldn't keep his hands over and that's all it was there's no pre-up and he doesn't want to have to give her any money he wants half the deal come on honey you know I love you just give me half of what we sell the house for. That house was like $68 million.

A lot of money in that. I don't know what they put down. I don't know if they paid cash. I don't know what they. I mean, J-Lo could definitely come up with it. Ben might have said, I can't. I mean, let's just pay cash. And J-Lo went, well, I'm the only one that has the cash.

Okay, well, we'll just use yours then. I don't know what they paid for it. But that's all that is, man, is lovey-dovey to save his pocketbook. It really isn't about love. I'm sure deep down they love each other. Anyway, so the story was is that they were all over each other.

Yes, he was Dutch in the Karate Kid and its sequel, The Karate Kid, Part 2. So you know him as Dutch from the Karate Kid. And the cause of death? Yeah, we don't know. It was not listed. Could have been.

Could have been sweep the lick, right? Isn't that the one? It could have been that. It killed him. We don't know. We don't know because they didn't say. Could have been that. So rest of people.

to Steve McQueen's son He prefers to just be known as Chad McQueen Dead at the age of 63 I mean he's a Hollywood kid man I mean he grew up there right I mean he's Anyway rest it doesn't make his death any less

important it's just saying that he's a Hollywood kid and his dad is you know The superstar and he's just the well the son of the superstar but he was in Karate Kid as Dutch and he got the Second, and the follow-up movie.

Karate Kid and the Karate Kid Part 2. Don't start looking at me like, which one is Dutch? You know which one Dutch is, okay? You've seen the movie. You know, it wasn't Mr. Miyagi. Okay, and it wasn't Ralph Machio, wasn't them. So why don't you just shut up and don't worry about it, okay? He was Dutch, all right?

And for sure it wasn't Elizabeth Shoe. I know what you're thinking there. I know. So, nothing bad to happen to Liz. Anyway, rest in peace to Chad McQueen, dead at the age of 63. Let's see where the CDC recently declared watercress

to be the healthiest vegetable. Okay, great. I mean, I'm familiar with watercress. You know, am I a fan? I really don't know. Could I be? And then I see where they're genetically engineering golden lettuce. Now, usually when you think of something that's golden, that's not really a good thing.

That's why we wash it before we eat it, because we don't know what particular person gave the head of lettuce the golden shower, right? But they're calling it the golden lettuce, and it's engineered to pack 30 times more vitamins. Now, that's not completely ready for shelf yet, but they are genetically engineering the golden lettuce. But watercrest, definitely good to go. It's the healthiest vegetable. But what I really care about is that M&Ms announced

that they've just launched their peanut butter and jelly flavor. So, I mean, you can watercress me, you can golden lettuce me all you want. I'm going to be trying the peanut butter and jelly M&Ms. Okay, that's all. That's not healthy? Have you telling me if I have M&M's peanut butter and jelly with some watercress, that's not healthy?

Think again. You remember Jordan Childs? She's the Olympic gymnast who didn't win the bronze medal, then did win the bronze medal, then didn't win the bronze medal, right? They weren't going to give it to her, and then there was a complaint, and that complaint got her the bronze.

And then there was a complaint that said that complaint originally was wrong, which then took the bronze away. Okay. So now she's pissed because she wants her bronze back. And she's trying, she's been, she filed an appeal with the Swiss Federal Tribunal. And this is an attempt to overturn an earlier ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. And I love the Court of Arbitration for Sport because they were the ones. ones who took the bronze medal away, that she claims that she won

on the individual floor exercise. Remember, because she was one of the three African-American black winners up on the podium, and that was the first time ever. The three black athletes have been up on the podiums for the gymnastics in the world ever. Oh, no, never mind.

We took it away. It doesn't count. So now she's pissed, and she wants it back. And according to her people, they're pissed because the CAS, you know them as the Court of Arbitration for Sport, refused to consider video evidence that showed the inquiry was submitted on time and that they violated her right to be heard. So I know what you're thinking. Hey, Jordan, let it go. Okay? You lost.

Sorry about it. But no, Jordan is pissed and she wants that bronze medal. Hey, we have the, I know it's football season and I could talk. I could actually do the whole show on football and would not. I'm a huge fan, you know that. And I could talk college football. I could talk NFL. I'm not talking flag football, no.

But I'm talking about real men's football. the men's league or college football, I just, I love it. And I'm happy that we're in season. But I also want to remember that the 2024 WNBA playoffs begin this weekend. And I know, you know, a lot of people really don't care. And I don't either, really, except that I really have enjoyed Caitlin Clark watching her this year for the Indiana

fever. And I will be really upset if she doesn't win rookie of the year. the fixes in they haven't liked her all year they've been against her the whole time they've been trying to backtrack a little bit trying to make it nicer I mean she's done everything for that league

I mean they've boosted their ratings on television they've boosted they've boosted the fans showing up to stadium they've had to move games to bigger arenas when she comes to town she is the reason and they won't they will deny this but she's one of

the reasons that they have that they're flying charter flights now uh because of they they're before why weren't they flying charter flights why weren't they flying charter flights oh that's right because they didn't make any money and now they're starting to make some money and they just signed a new tv deal and they still hate her you know why they hate her i'm going to go out on a limb here and tell you she's white and she's straight so that's a fact i'm sorry i'm sorry to break it to you, but that's a fact. Are the other players, Angel Reese and all the other stars, Angel, the other rookie, are they fine basketball players? Yes. Would they have brought to the WNBA what Caitlin Clark brought? The answer is no. So they need to get over it real fast. But the rookie

of the year will be awarded October 2nd. And it better be Caitlin Clark. And I don't want to hear, It's a co-winner this year with Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. That would even piss me off more. It's just absolutely unbelievable. So we'll see what happens. And they just awarded Portland, I think, a new WNBA franchise. And so anyway, I mean, I know nobody cares really. Even with these big numbers, they're big numbers for the WNBA.

They're not really big numbers. And every day, Saturday afternoon college football game gets so many more viewers. I mean, they're averaging, the NFL's averaging what, between 20 and 30 million a game? And I'm guessing, and I haven't seen the numbers actually on college football. I've got to look for those. But I would venture to say that the big-time night games in college football are getting anywhere between 13 and 20 million people. And I'm sorry, but the WMBA is not drawing those numbers. if Caitlin is in the playoffs, which she is taking the Indiana fever for the first time in,

I don't know how many years to the playoffs. So you'll have her playing in the playoffs. And if she takes them deep into the playoff run, that will bring viewers to the WNBA. And I wonder if that's, you know, really worth anything. It kind of is, isn't it? Yeah, it kind of is. And one last sports story before we get to What's the Lie? is that I love the fact that the Washington football team,

which is now the Washington commanders, was the Washington football team, but for a thousand years was the Washington Redskins. People still call them the Washington Redskins. When you see the fans in the stadium, the announcers don't comment when they show the fans in the stadium because they're all wearing red skin merchandise, because it's still redskins.

That's who they're rooting for. Well, now we have the relatives of the famous John Two Guns White Calf, who is the Indian family of the Blackfeet chief that was a red-skinned Indian. They want to bring that back. And they're pissed that the NFL took him off of the logo. And the Redskins were named from 1937. to 2019. And because someone found it offensive.

And the fans want them back. The Indians want them back. I don't think that it matters now. I think now that it's gone, it's gone. You can quote me on that. Now that it's gone, it's gone. And even the families, you know, they've got, I don't know, Daphnian, Delphine white calf and all the other damn white calf family.

the mom and dad and the kids and the whole damn white cat family and the Blackfeet Nation they all want to have the red skin back up on the helmet and it just isn't going to happen I don't think it's going to happen at all and it's sad

so I say just keep continuing to call them redskins any opportunity you have and make them all feel how stupid it really is this episode is brought to you by Peloton A new era of fitness is here. Introducing the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus, powered by Peloton IQ.

Now, Paul, I know that you reached out and wanted to be part of What's the Lie, but one of the reasons that you reached out is you like to give me a hard time

about the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Yeah, you're a little hard on us up here. Which means that you're a Yupor. And what do you do for a living up there in Yuporland? You're the guy that puts in the flags on the corners of the street so they know where to turn because the snow's so high? Well, now you just ruin the day. I'm just asking if that's what you do.

No, no. I don't know who does that. So I'm not able to do that right now. Oh, see, that's the way. Make me feel bad about that, sure. Do you know as a disabled person, the guy that does put up the flags on the corner of the street so that people know where to turn because the snow's so high? I don't know them, but I waved to them.

How is life in Yupra Land these days? Oh, it's not bad up here, except for about 10 months of the year. Yeah, that's it. That's it, though. That's it, though. I've told you the story. All I want to do is talk to you about Upper Peninsula. But my really good friend was supposed to go play football and go to school at Northern Michigan.

Okay. And he went up there, and about two days later, I hear knocking on my door. And I'm like, dude, what are you doing here? He goes, I can't. I just, we went up there. I just, I can't. I'm not, I'm not going to make it. That's really funny.

See, he had smart enough to get out. That was years ago. You're still there. All right. You ready to play? What's the lie, Paul? I'm ready. All right, let's go.

Four headlines, one not real. What's the lie? Headline number one, eight-year-old girl drove mob's SUV on target run. Headline number two. Alaska Air is going to offer free upgrades if you don't get up during the flight. Headline number three. First Golden Bachelorette wants a man who grocery shops.

Headline number four. Noah Varrier's oil painting of an uncrustable sandwich sold for $4,99. Those are your four headlines. Headline number one, eight-year-old girl drove mom's SUV on a target run. Headline number two, Alaska Air will offer free upgrades if you don't get up during the flight. Headline number three, first golden bachelorette wants a man who grocery shops. Headline number four, Noah Varrier's oil painting of an uncrustable sandwich sold for $4,99. Those are your four headlines.

Paul, what is the lie? Well, he did make it easy. Oh, that girl is my hero. So it's not that one. Okay. Alaska Air. You are 100% correct. Absolutely 100% correct.

That means you've won this edition of What's the Lie? Don't start talking down to me like I, like you, Mr. Smarty Pants. Okay. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, yeah, I mean, you do it right off the bat. I'm proud of you. All right. All right.

All right. All right. Well, I mean, no, no. I got my own little neural link. I'm connected. Firelessly. Thank you. Thanks for listening and thanks for playing.

What's the Live? What's the Live? The Subsidiary of Chewing to Fat Enterprises. All information is probably accurate at the time of recording. CTF, WTL, MMX, IV. Do you seriously? And now listen, are you the number two neuralink guy? No.

Okay. It's imaginary. Because Elon, I know Elon has the second neural link guy, but he didn't say who it was. Yeah, no, it's on me. I mean, could it be you, though? Are you up for it? No. Did you say, Elon, hey, put some neural links at me?

Yeah. No, I haven't. Hey, this is our deal, right? Three in a row, and you're apologizing on Pat Gray. Did we lose the connection to Paul? I don't hear him anymore.
