And you get the triple treat box, of course, is two medium, one topping pizzas, breadsticks, cheese sticks. And of course, the cheese sticks come with an upcharge. You're not getting those for free. The tomato wine by Pizza Hut retails for $25. However, a minimum purchase of two bottles is required, and a limited edition gift set sells for $60. Both are available starting two day, but only at the irvinewinery.com Pizza Hut. And you can get the triple treat box, actually, for 1999.

Starting point is 00:02:52 if you, there's nothing. Nothing. Now, from this day forward, nothing says the holidays. I like a glass of Pizza Hut tomato wine. Am I right? I am. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. All right, daily update on
Starting point is 00:03:18 the emos and the monkeys in South Carolina. I'm concerned about the residents of South Carolina. So I cannot believe it, but the emos are still on the loose. They're still fugitives on the run. There are two emos. They're like these giant flightless birds. We can't
Starting point is 00:03:35 capture them. Are you kidding me? come on now i mean every police department in south carolina in that neck of the woods have got to have a tranquilizer in their car right so if they get the if they see the emu boom you shoot the emu and uh you carry it back here you call the farm the emu farm and you tell the guy i know you've got cancer but i've got your emu knocked out here over on route two here come and pick him up right it's got to happen or maybe you just uh you know say Why am I smoking a bong with the emos? You're not smoking with the emos.
Starting point is 00:04:12 No, no, that's not, no, no, I'm sorry. We're not going to use good American marijuana or Mexican marijuana or Colombian marijuana or middle, you know, anywhere, anywhere, good American marijuana on emu's. That's not going to happen. No, we're going to use good old-fashioned scientific knockout drug. That's what we're using. And another scientific knockout drug, though, would be
Starting point is 00:04:40 That would knock them out and be done. Just put them down and be done with it. And then we still have monkeys on the loose. Four monkeys from Alpha Genesis still on the lamb. Wait, can monkeys be on the lamb? Anyway, they're on, they're fugitives. They're still out there. And they really don't know where they're at.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Now, they claim here, you know, hey, we're assuring there's no health risk associated with these animals. Okay. They're too young to carry disease. Okay. But we've caught them all except for four of them. So 39 of them they have back in, back in the Alpha Genesis facility. But it said here that we still, we're pretty sure that the remaining monkeys,
Starting point is 00:05:28 they're pretty sure they're all together in the area adjacent to the property. Or they're somewhere close. We're pretty sure of that. But we don't know for sure. I mean, it's amazing. My gosh, what is happening? We can't catch monkeys. That is, holy cow.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Alpha Genesis CEO, Greg Westegard, maybe you get on it a little bit. Upgrade a little bit of security and catch your monkeys. I know you're just, we're waiting for them to get back. We're teasing them with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And, okay, I mean, come on now. You can't, it's been quite some time now, way too long. that these monkeys have been fugitives.
Starting point is 00:06:08 The emus do. What is happening in South Carolina? Why can't we catch these wild animals on the loose? Residents could be harmed. The guys said, though, the emos are fine. They're more scared of you are than you are of them. I know, but they also talked about the last time that these emos escaped, and the pack of dogs tried to attack them,
Starting point is 00:06:25 and the emos put the dogs down. So you don't mess with the emos, man. They don't mess with them. So, I mean, I've already told you, if Fluffy starts barking in your backyard, and those are the emu. Call Fluffy back because the emu is about to kill Fluffy.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Fluffy's going to have an emu beak up its ass real quick. So maybe you ought to stay locked and loaded and Fluffy starts barking. I need to put them down. And so I know there's no health risk associated with these animals with the monkeys or the emos. But I would be prepared, locked and loaded at all times. Anyway, I just wanted to.
Starting point is 00:07:05 There's still fugitives and still on the lamb. If, of course, monkeys and emus can be on the lamb. So in Louisville, Texas, which is part of DFW, part of the Metroplex, there was an internal affairs investigation on the police workers, the Louisville police officers. And three were fired. One was demoted. Seven were suspended without pay.
Starting point is 00:07:36 They even have a police department left in Louisville. now's the time to do anything illegal in Lewisville for sure. So these 11 Texas police officers have been disciplined for misconduct related to a prostitution sting at massage parlors. Some of the officers are accused of an inappropriate physical conduct with alleged sex workers during the stings. While others are accused of failing to stop or report this misconduct. Yeah, they were looking the other way.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Bill, what are you doing? Nothing, is it nothing? It's so busy you're taking care of. while the massage parlor aroused? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. So the 23 prostitution cases that the department filed with the office and the 28 suspects
Starting point is 00:08:22 and the 32 criminals, yeah, we're probably not going to be able to bring those charges against that. But in this story, then it talks about what happened in Maryland where they had an undercover Sting Operation. And they gave this
Starting point is 00:08:41 a name. I don't know if Lewisville had a name or not. I don't know if it was, you know, Operation Love. You know, no, it's definitely, we'll definitely get to the can of music because it's it's definitely Operation because in Maryland,
Starting point is 00:08:57 they had a sting that they titled Operation Rubba Tug Tug. That is awesome. Tonight's episode, Robert Ruggedug, tug, tug. Oh, yeah. Come on.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Cannon. Cannon. Starring William Conrad with guest stars, Clue Gilliger. Don't we have the short one, too? I mean, we can go through the long one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Yeah, we have the short one, too, where we don't have, But that's all fine. Operation Rubba Tug-Tug. Tonight's episode, Country Blues. Because that all started with Operation Varsity Blues, which got me into that. But anyway, in Maryland,
Starting point is 00:09:58 they were out for their undercover sting, and they were told, don't have any sexual acts with the employees. Decline any sexual acts. Well, one of them did have a sexual act. with one of the patrons. And the reason that he had the sex acts is because, well, before they went on the sting,
Starting point is 00:10:23 he took his erectile dysfunction pill. So he came in locked and loaded. He was ready to rock and roll. Yeah, he'd know there's no doubt about that, man. He was ready to rock and roll. So Operation Rub a tug-tug-tug-tug. Oh, yeah. I know.
Starting point is 00:10:43 No, I want God. Yeah, tonight's episode, Rub a Tug Tug, Kattan. Tomorrow, though, on this very show. On this very show. No, you can keep it up, just a little.

Starting point is 00:12:58 I really appreciate it very much, but just know that I do see them. And I will say this. This is a response to an email that I received at 2 in the Fed at the Blaze.com. James, waiting on you, baby. Waiting on you. I won't throw it out there into the public ear yet, but I'm just waiting on you because I already said yes.
Starting point is 00:13:23 So just waiting on you, James. Just waiting on you. I see where Netflix said the Tyson ball fight was the most streamed global sporting event ever. I think we may have touched on this yesterday because 108 million people watched at least a minute of last week's live boxing match peaking at 65 million concurrent viewers. You know, you think about the Super Bowl had 210 million people watching. That wasn't on just Netflix, though.
Starting point is 00:13:52 I mean, that's across all platforms for the Super Bowl. 108 million people watched the stream. Yeah, they were talking about, you know, it had technical issues. Yeah, no kidding. I mean, we're getting ready for the Christmas football event with the NFL. Can't have an issue with that. Sorry, no, the end of that will not be allowed. And I don't think we're going to get 108 million people,
Starting point is 00:14:17 65 million concurrent viewers for the Sunday NFL game. But it's possible. I mean, it is possible for Christmas. There may be some people that say, hey, it's Christmas, we're not going to watch the NFL on Netflix. And I understand that. I get it. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:36 I mean, they may get that. And I see where Taylor Serrano fight, which was before the Tyson-Paul fight, got 74 million live viewers, which makes it the most watched professional women's sporting event in U.S. history. That was a good fight too, man. They duped it out, and I'm still pissed that Serrano lost. And I watched the last four.
Starting point is 00:15:04 that Serrano was in to take Taylor and she lost that one and she should have won that one. The world thought she wasn't the last two fights except the judges said no you're wrong. So what are you going to do? Then Instagram I saw announced that they are going to allow users to manually reset their recommendation algorithms across their explore, their reels and their feed pages. So I mean we should be able to do that anyway. we should be able to reset our recommendations, algorithms, whenever the hell we want.
Starting point is 00:15:39 And we should, no, I don't want to get into that, but we should be able to, you know, see, you know, see all the algorithms that are, you know, we're doing on our social media accounts. But that's just me. That's just me. That's just me.
Starting point is 00:15:57 You know, speaking of, I see where X announced, and I guess it's going to happen, but I don't know when. because they announced it and then like I didn't hear any big hoopla over it which was really kind of weird but they announced that
Starting point is 00:16:14 X is partnered with the NFL to create a new portal that's going to include a feed that aggregates tweets from NFL teams writes partner accounts and like you know
Starting point is 00:16:30 Sunday Night Football NBC and reporters from outlets like NFL media and ESPN. And there's also going to be separate tabs to check on scores, standings, and stats. Well, when does that happen? I mean, I'm up for that. And if they're going to charge me extra for that?
Starting point is 00:16:47 Probably. Probably. So, you know, according to Linda Yaccarino, the ex-CEO, not, no, she's not the former CEO. She's the CEO of X. She's, I believe, in partnering with the biggest and best. and it doesn't get any bigger and better than the NFL. No kidding about that.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Football fans around the world will see the power of X and NFL right on their screens. X is the world's largest stadium and we are delivering the ultimate fan experience. So what does that happen? There's no start date. I mean, does it happen during the playoffs? Internal metrics from Linda said that
Starting point is 00:17:27 56% of users on the platform are, NFL fans. Well, yeah, I would I would have bet probably more, but okay, I'll give you the 56. About 40% of posts about sports on X are about the NFL. And there have been about 16 billion
Starting point is 00:17:47 video views related to the NFL in the past year. Well, yeah, everybody's looking at the Trump dance celebrations in the end zone. Which the NFL has now said, oh, that's fine. We don't have a problem with that. Well, no kidding. what you've allowed to happen with the celebration dances is you can't you're not going to be able to say anything on the Trump dance and I get that well the networks are still allowed to cut away
Starting point is 00:18:15 yeah okay that's because they can't cut it if they cut away from somebody else's celebration though that isn't the Trump dance what the hell is going to happen then so if you're going to cut away from one cut away from them all but you know whatever you do you boo you do you i just want to know when the whole thing is going to happen with x it's all i want to know and it doesn't say it keeps saying is we've got this new deal and it's all going to happen we're going to have the new portal on x when is it going to happen when you can announce everything all you want but when is it going to happen they don't know yet neither do we somebody get linda on
Starting point is 00:18:58 the phone. I want Linda on the phone and we'll get her, get the CEO of X, not the X CEO, but the CEO of X, and now we'll find out what's happening. This is going to be your answer. We're really excited to partner with the NFL. We're bringing this great content. And as you're well aware, with such a huge percentage of X users are NFL fans and 56% of the people who use X or our NFL fans. And we're really excited to bring this to you. And we're working to bring this to you as soon as we possibly can. There is no. There is no date, a start time. We're smack dabbing the NFL season now,

Starting point is 00:22:16 Conditions apply. All right, so I missed it. But Saturday night live this past week was actually live. And they didn't do a repeat. But they had our man Alec Baldwin on it. That was amazing. And why did I say Alex's name without actually hearing Alec Baldwin? Thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:42 We don't need the bodyfall. I just need the gunshot. I don't want to sad. It makes me, hurts me to think that a body fell. I guess when you're thinking about Alec Baldwin, maybe you do need to hear the body fall. Yeah, maybe you do. Anyway, so anyway, he's on Saturday Night Live.
Starting point is 00:22:58 And he has now, no, he's not portraying Trump. Ha-ha. He is portraying RFK Jr. And boy, what a funny bit it was. If you missed it, go back and watch it. It's so darn funny because Alec is funny. and I will say that, thank you, appreciate it. I will say that he, they had Trump,
Starting point is 00:23:23 the guy playing Trump is actually pretty funny. It looks funny. And they got Dana Carvey playing Biden. And then, you know, Dingleberry is playing RFK, RFK Jr. And he said in his line, Americans need someone to teach him how to be healthy, someone like me, a 70-year-old man with movie star looks,
Starting point is 00:23:43 and a worm in his brain. Ha ha. Oh, isn't that funny? Isn't that funny? That is great. hilarious. Yeah. I hope the whole thing was just
Starting point is 00:23:54 just hilarious. Anyway, so, and I like, Dana does Biden pretty funny. And what's his face? James Austin Johnson is the one who played President Trump and he looked actually really funny.
Starting point is 00:24:10 And like I said, Dana Carvey did. Joe Biden. And then, uh, course, RFK Jr. was played by Alec Baldwin.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Uh, so anyway, now that was without the body fall, though. I think I like, I think I like the body fall. Uh, of course,
Starting point is 00:24:29 uh, RFK Jr. was played by Alec Baldwin. And then I like the body falling better, I think, uh, when I mentioned, uh,
Starting point is 00:24:37 his name. Anyway, the whole story is wrapped around, you know, him showing up on SNL. Okay. But if you hung out till the end, when they all come out on stage and they all, you know, smile and laugh and hug each other and it's been a wonderful night and man, are we happy it's over? Ah!
Starting point is 00:24:58 Alec comes out with his jacket all ripped, zipped up, except that his zipper on his pants was not zipped. So he's out there on stage, front, right there at the front, with a zipper wide open. Awesome. And I mean, everybody watching, obviously, and I don't know how many people, I did not watch it live, I have college football to watch, on Saturday night. They, you know, they're all busy posting. Hey, somebody want to tell Alec that a zipper is open? What a loser. He's got to be so pissed that that happened. I mean, obviously, you know, it's not a person. that big a deal, but because it's him. Because it's him, it is a big deal. And I love the fact that he just walks out on stage thinking he's Mr. Cool. And there he is, Mr. Suave with a zipper
Starting point is 00:25:56 wide open. Hilarious. How you like that? Alec Baldwin. If you're planning on traveling to Austin, Texas, the beautiful city of Austin, Texas, and you were looking to take public transportation and you were all excited to help the city and you were going to use their electric buses because they invested all this money into the electric buses. In fact, they bought 46 new electric buses costing about a million dollars each. And they're not going to use them anymore. They've shut it down. They're going to be in storage for at least a year due to lack of charging infrastructure
Starting point is 00:26:40 to keep them running all day. the buses were manufactured by now bankrupt protera which has left the city transit districts across the country with fleets of inoperable buses now proterra was acquired by phoenix motor ink which uh a guest is struggling to service all the warranties and repair the technical issues uh yeah because they all got a bunch of pile of government money
Starting point is 00:27:10 to make these electric buses and they sold them out to these cities and then it was like, well, we don't we don't have everything that we need to make them run right and ah, you know what, we're bankrupt. Sorry, we took all the money and we're done. So the city's transit board appropriated
Starting point is 00:27:26 $255 million to buy 197 electric buses, some of which were manufactured in Minnesota by the new flyer of America. Then they realized that their ambitious e-bus plan was, Ooh, not going well. So the diesel-powered buses could run for nearly 24 hours without refueling.
Starting point is 00:27:47 The electric bus needed to recharge every 8 to 10 hours. So it was creating a logistical nightmare. Yeah, because, hello, we just need the bus to be on the road working, picking up people. But no, they have to spend time. Okay, you've been on the road for 8 hours. And then going up and down hills and the summertime and the wintertime all affected the amount of time that the electric bus could run. So it really wasn't even eight to ten hours.
Starting point is 00:28:14 It was less. Holy cow. And the buses also experienced breakdowns at more than twice the rate of the diesel buses. Wow. So it was great. It was good that they invested all this money in these electric buses. But don't you worry about it? The money's already spent.
Starting point is 00:28:32 And instead of chasing good money after bad, we're just going to park them in a garage. and 10 years from now, we'll open up that garage and the city will go, what are we going to do with these 100 electric buses that have been sitting here for a decade? All right, just get rid of them. Let's just send them to the dump.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Let's go. We'll be done with it. You know what? We could create a reef in the river. Let's use them for a reef. We'll give them to the ocean. That's an idea, too. We could make a homeless holiday.
Starting point is 00:29:05 That's a good idea. that's a good idea they set them up around town and the homeless can live in them that's an excellent idea at least they would get some good out of the damn electric buses what do you live in i have i'm living in the electric bus down in the corner i mean you got a roof over your head that's that's a great idea that needs to happen austin what are you doing don't just sit them in a garage how why do you hate homeless people Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you don't have to.
Starting point is 00:29:56 They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Brushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush.
Starting point is 00:30:13 Our buyers have got you covered. Marshalls. We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Arthur Fromner. Arthur Fromner, the travel guide author and founder of the Fromner's brand. You remember that. I mean, you know, the Frommner's brand. He has passed away at the age of 95. Rest in peace. Arthur Fromner.
Starting point is 00:30:41 He died from complications of pneumonia. Fromner revolutionized travel for Americans with his 1957 guidebook, Europe on $5 a day. And then, which made international travel accessible and affordable. And then, of course, it's updated annually until 2007. Millions of copies. No kidding. He was born in 29 in Virginia.
Starting point is 00:31:03 And he began writing his first travel books for U.S. soldiers overseas while serving in the Army in Germany in the 50s. And his 57 guidebook, which. which coincided with the rise of jet travel that made trips to Europe more feasible, emphasized budget conscious travel, advising readers to avoid first class, use public transportation, save money in other ways.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Why do you even want to travel? If you're not going first class, I mean, it just doesn't make any sense. But the Fromner's brand has grown to include more than 130 active titles covering destinations worldwide, podcast, radio show, other media. So, I mean, he's been all over the place.
Starting point is 00:31:42 So Arthur Frommner, dead at the age of 95. Then we have Bob Love, three-time NBA All-Star, dead at the age of 81. He apparently had a long battle of cancer, battling of cancer with cancer, and it finally won the battle, but he fought for a long time. So Bob Love, spent 11 years in the NBA dead at the age of 81. Then we have Derek Sink, Derek Sink, dead at the age of 39. And I know what you're thinking. Who the heck is Derek Sink?
Starting point is 00:32:23 Well, the reason we're telling you about Derek is because he was found dead in a tanning bed at Planet Fitness in the Indiana Planet Fitness. And he was there for like three days. No, I'm sorry. I don't want. I don't want Derek Sink to die. I don't want anyone to die at any Planet Fitness anywhere in a tanning bed. But three days? I mean, nobody walked by the tanning bed at Planet Fitness and said,
Starting point is 00:32:56 man, that guy's been in there a long time. What are we doing? And so they reported the body was found just after 8.30 of the morning. Because after three days, finally somebody came in and went, it started smelling here. You guys, I can't work out any. anymore. It's really, you know, it's really smelling.
Starting point is 00:33:19 What's going on? And so they started to look around and, you know, the smell got worse as they got for the tanning bag. Ah, ha, ha, ha, ah, uh, uh, uh. I mean, they have no protocols, nightly protocols. I mean, if planet, if they're looking at it at 8.30
Starting point is 00:33:38 morning, so it's not a 24-hour place. So that means that they've opened and closed two days. Right. And nobody went back to clean the tanning beds. Nobody went back to the tanning bed room and said, I need to sweep. We didn't check the rest of the gym. Nothing. It's just there's Derek in the tanning bed for three days. Holy cow. And of course, of course. I mean, I know that, you know, they're deeply sad by the passing of one of their members. And the franchise owner is working with the local authorities in their investigation. Yeah, I'm sure you are. Now, it does say here, I will say that he had struggled with drug addiction,
Starting point is 00:34:20 and it says here that a syringe was found with his body. Okay, so we're waiting to hear the toxicology report, but the mother thinks that it might be fentanyl in his system. So, I mean, he was a junkie. I don't know that he was, you know, he was shooting up steroids at a gym, I guess. you know why of course you know you shoot up a little fentanyl get in the tanning bed oh yeah nothing nothing says uh catching a little fentanyl buzz and laying in a tanning bed man it's just good times good times so uh my point is and i'm sorry that the man died i really am my point is holy cow the guy was
Starting point is 00:35:02 in there for three days and this planet fitness who you know has been in the news quite quite a lot lately because it's okay that men are going to the women's locker room as long as they say that they're a woman. Oh, oh, okay. Oh, good. Who's let that happen? That's okay with Planet Fitness. But they don't clean the tanning beds. They don't check the gym at all at the end of the night or the first of the morning.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Let's say the guy was in there. Let's say you didn't check it one night. You had to get out of there. You're tired. It's a long day. Close it up. Get out of here. We'll come back in the morning.
Starting point is 00:35:38 The morning, you don't make your rounds until three days later because of the foul smell. You didn't make the rounds. You didn't find them because you were busy making your rounds, making sure everything was okay in your planet fitness. That's what the managers are supposed to do. That's what you're hired to do.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Ah, just incredible. And that guy was in there for three days. Terrible, terrible. No one deserves to be left in a tanning bed for three days of planet fitness. I'm sorry. No. And what a way to ruin a fentanyl buzz. It's just a joke.
Starting point is 00:36:15 It's just a joke. Rest in peace. Derek sank dead at the age of 39. Then we have Colin Peterson. Colin Peterson, founding member and drummer of the Bee Gees. Died at the age of 78. And that was just four days ago. I mean, four days after another BG's drummer.
Starting point is 00:36:39 and I missed this, that Dennis Brian passed away. Dennis Brian at the age of 75, another VG's drummer died. And so rest in peace to Dennis Brian, former BG's drummer, dead at the age of 75, and rest in peace to former BG's drummer Colin Peterson. He was the first drummer for the BGs. and he played on some of the band's early hits. He has passed away
Starting point is 00:37:11 at the age of 78. It did not say what the cause of death was. It did say that when he left the BJs because he was in the manager didn't get along for some reason. He started up his own band
Starting point is 00:37:26 called Humpty Bong. And Humpty Bong didn't make it. You may not have heard about Humphy Bong because well, it didn't make it. So that broke up. And then he became just a man, started a management company,
Starting point is 00:37:41 started managing people. So rest in peace to former Humpy Bong drummer and Bee Gees drummer, Colin Peterson, dead at the age of 78. Now, I'm really looking at the songs that he played on, and I don't know that he played on. Yeah, I don't know that he played on this. I don't know that he played on this.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Plus, I mean, I mean, the title of this song is Staying Alive. So, man, it's kind of mean to play this song while talking about his death and everything, you know. Being used for credit card commercials now. I think we'll be okay. And he's doing... Wow, this was a monster hit for them, man. This changed, I mean, this movie.
Starting point is 00:38:37 I had this, this industry, the film and the music from the Vigi. I mean, holy cow, the world flipped. Went into the disco phase, man. It was amazing. Oh, man. I mean, I could see John Travolta is still walking down the street with his paint can. He's walking down the street now within a stupid credit card commercial. That's what he does.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Incredible. All right, I can't take any more of the VG's. Rest in peace to Colin Peterson. And what's his face? Dennis Brian too Dennis might have been the drummer on Staying Alive We don't know that But it doesn't matter now because
Starting point is 00:39:14 Well They're living on forever They're living on forever In their music So rest and peace to both the Both the former BTs drummer Now we're done I can't say
Starting point is 00:39:25 Okay so I don't know why this hasn't happened Already But the news broke that Delta flights are now going to serve Shake Shack burgers I'm a fan I'm a fan Now does it make me want to fly Delta, I guess?
Starting point is 00:39:56 I mean, okay. I'm a huge fan of Shake Shack burgers and Shake Shack fries. The Shake Shacks shakes, eh, questionable in my mind. I'd rather have, there's a couple other businesses that create better shakes. I know, Shake, Shaq. Don't look at me like that, all right? I buy your product. I bought your product at your Manhattan stores.
Starting point is 00:40:17 I bought your product in your Texas stores. I got it. Okay. I love your product. but back off me, your shakes need work. You shouldn't ask me about it, okay? The name, the shake is in your name. It should be better shakes.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Anyway, the burgers and the fries are awesome. But here's the catch, all right. They did a partnership, Delta and the Shake Shack Company based out of New York. But they're only going to do it for first-class members. You people, you unwashed masses in the back. No, you're not going to get that. I mean, that's going to, that's going to, think about that. If you're sitting in the first row next, but you're still in the unwashed masses behind the curtain.
Starting point is 00:41:03 And they start serving shake shack burgers. I'm going in. I'm taking one. I'm going in. So, plus, it's also on long flights. So it's just a test now. So you get the, and it's not a special order. You know, you get the Shake Shack special sauce, which is to me.
Starting point is 00:41:22 uh lettuce, onions, pickles, and tomato on their potato bun. And, uh, as long as you're flying first class, it's all yours. Starts December 1st. And, uh,
Starting point is 00:41:34 you'll, you get, you get, you get the burger, and you get a Caesar salad, chips, and a dark chocolate brownie. So you don't get a shake.
Starting point is 00:41:43 You don't get, you just get the burger. It's kind of disappointing, actually. But, uh, you do get a shake shack burger and that's good. So apparently, it's going to be on the Delta flights out of, yeah, out of Boston and 900 miles. If you're traveling out of Boston and more than 900 miles,
Starting point is 00:42:05 then you'll have the opportunity to have a shake, Shack burger in first class. But apparently, this is something I didn't think of, and that's why you're not in the airline business, Jeff. The dry cabin air, cabin pressure, and loud engine noise are some of the things that could impact the way our food tastes in flight. I'm not sure why the loud engine noise affects our food taste, but okay, it does.
Starting point is 00:42:35 This experimental psychologist at Oxford University, Charles Spence, I love him. He studies how certain environments and sound impact taste. he claims that we should avoid anything sweet, salty, or carbonated on the flight. Okay, okay. Thanks. I appreciate it there. Psychologist Oxford University.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Charles. Nobody asked. Okay. Well, they did, actually. They did ask. So anyway, you have an opportunity. Flying out of Boston, Boston, more than 900. Boston.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Flying out of Boston. And you get more than 900 miles. You can get a shake shack burger. So that's coming to the airlines, an airline near you, they'll have deals where you can be able to get fast food or your favorite restaurant
Starting point is 00:43:23 in the air. Because that's what's happening. You start flying private. You grab Shake Shack before you hop on the plane. And then you get the fries and the shake and all of it. So maybe you just fly private and don't worry about Delta. And there's a big food recall, too. I meant to do this earlier. Gosh, darn it. Aldi, who, I mean, they've got the big thing.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Thanksgiving deal we talked about and everything. So now they've got a big recall to the let's party vegetable bowel buns. Because the bow buns may contain sesame and duck meat not mentioned on the label.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Now, I'll give you the sesame. You know, I forgot to put the sesame in. But I don't know that I've seen and I can't, I've never purchased the let's party vegetable bow buns from Aldi, but you could have won money from me,
Starting point is 00:44:20 saying, I bet they have duck meat in them. No. No, no they don't. Well, yes, yes, they do. The product sells in packs of eight, and people have been advised, do not eat it. This could be life-threatening
Starting point is 00:44:37 to those with a sesame allergy. What about the people with duck allergies? We don't care about that? So it affects the let's party vegetable bowel buns and not one particular batch, just the whole damn bunch of them. So Aldi stated in the recall, our supplier is recalling the let's party vegetable bow buns due to an error,
Starting point is 00:44:57 meaning some products contained an undeclared allergen, sesame as well as duck meat, not listed on packaging. So it may contain a health risk, and we apologize. And that this product did not meet our normal high standards. Uh-huh. And thank you for your question. operation. So take it back and I get your money back. Do whatever you have to do. Don't eat it though
Starting point is 00:45:21 because if you are allergic to sesame or allergic to duck, I mean you could have rash and swelling around the face and itchy throat, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain. Could be terrible. Could be terrible. And I mean that serious. If you're allergic to sesame or duck, could be terrible. So I just wouldn't have bet that the bow bread had duck in it. It's surprising. I know I'm concerned about the sesame too,
Starting point is 00:45:52 but I just, the whole duck thing threw me off. All right, let's do, let's get out of here. Let's do the joke of the day. We're talking about food. Might as well do the joke of the day with the cannibals. So this was sent to me from John email,
Starting point is 00:46:06 Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. Thank you, John. He offered it to submit for my approval. I guess if I read it on the show, then I approved of the joke, right? I even said it at the house last night to my daughter.
Starting point is 00:46:21 And she she just kept walking. Two cannibals come across a dead body in the jungle. They decide to consume it, you know, since they're cannibals. And they agree, one will start at the head and the other will start at the feet.
Starting point is 00:46:37 And then after a couple of minutes, cannibal one says, you enjoy yourself? And cannibal two says, yeah I'm having a ball and cannibal one says you're eating too fast see because
Starting point is 00:46:48 it was coming up on the now you understand that's what my daughter kept walking stream and subscribe to more blaze media content at the blaze.com
