Starting point is 00:00:00 When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss?
Starting point is 00:00:19 Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous for less. Blaze Radio Network So we are officially Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher For those of you listening live today is the 5th of February
Starting point is 00:00:40 2025, amazing And I found out a couple of things that we were supposed to be celebrating And we could celebrate it all month So we still have time But we missed a few days So it's national avocado and banana month Which, you know, okay, fine I'm okay with celebrating
Starting point is 00:01:00 the avocado. I'm okay with celebrating the avocado wherever they come from. They don't have to specifically come from Mexico. But hey, you know, if you prefer the avocado from Mexico, good for you. And it's also banana month. Now, I know that we don't have a jingle saying, Bananas from Mexico. And we don't have the tequila banana lady or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:01:23 So, you know, just celebrate the avocado and the banana, okay? But one of the other celebrations that we should be having this month, and that is Marijuana Awareness Month. So it's a lively and informative time dedicated to spreading knowledge about this drug. And we get to do it all month long. Okay. So this month, I highlights both the positive and negative effects of marijuana use. There's no negative, dude.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Okay, it's just positive. And it serves as a platform to educate the public on how marijuana can impact mental and physical health. So it says we can engage in various activities such as attending events. Yeah, I don't want to do that. I just want to sit here. Participating in discussions. I mean, just come on down and we'll fire up a bowl and we'll talk for a little while. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:04 And sharing information on social media. Dude, I don't want social media to know that I'm just down here smoking my bong. Okay. So I'll tell you what. You celebrate it. Pretty good. You celebrate it any way you want because you can celebrate marijuana awareness month all month because it's Awareness Month. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Welcome to chewing the fat. So I probably don't have to tell you this, but according to reports, there were 70, not 70, I wish there were 76 million. 7.6 million job openings in December of last year. And that was down from 8.16 million in November. So I guess the peak of jobs was in 2022, where there were 12.2 million. And I have a feeling that many of those were ghost jobs. Companies applying, saying that they had jobs open
Starting point is 00:04:33 and people would apply for them, but they really didn't exist. Or, you know, I found also that, companies say they're hiring and then they already have someone in mind for the job and so they have to put the they have to put the application out there they have to say hey we're hiring but they're not really hiring you all right they're not looking for the best person they're looking to follow the law and say that they have a job opening and then they're going to hire their friend bill and that's just the way it is uh however uh more u.s employees now uh are staying at their job
Starting point is 00:05:09 I wonder why but there's one group out there racing to the exit so apparently well 20,000 federal employees have just quit their job thanks to Donald Trump and he's given them I think a six or seven month payout which is you know which is pretty good but there's two million federal workers so you know less than one percent maybe one percent have taken the deal introduced called the fork in the road. Ha! Okay. Good for them.
Starting point is 00:05:47 And the federal unions and stuff are saying don't take the deal, don't take the deal. I don't know. It'd be pretty tough to take. Either take the deal and not get the benefit of the severance when you get fired next month. Because if you don't take the deal and then they fire you without the severance, you got nothing. Just incredible. And many of them,
Starting point is 00:06:15 depending on their age, may have the pension, which, I mean, that's yours. The pension is yours, so you keep that credible. Well,
Starting point is 00:06:26 a lot of these jobs are going away anyway, and not in specific these, you know, these government jobs, although, you know, it's very possible that these government jobs are going away. But, I mean,
Starting point is 00:06:40 we're talking about, about, you know, there's the jobs that they claim are good, white collar field, finance, tech, business services, and are slowing down. They're good, but they're slowing down. The other jobs that they say are greater health care and hospitality, which I think that's not doing well either because we're going to have robots doing all that very soon. And so everybody's trying to keep their jobs. There's no question about that. But then I see a story where they're talking about how the AI systems, and they have robots creating things,
Starting point is 00:07:24 these robots are creating wireless chip designs that outperform human engineered solutions. Oh, okay. So, I mean, that's good, right? Sure. The new AI-generated designs published in Nature Communications, and I love that, reduced weeks of skilled engineering work to mere hours. But what's truly remarkable is how the AI approaches the task, creating complex, counterintuitive structures that achieve previously unachievable performance, according to the lead researcher. The breakthrough mirrors a historic 1990s experiment where AI evolved circumstances. It's used mysterious disconnected components that proved crucial through subtle electromagnetic
Starting point is 00:08:15 interactions. Yeah, I mean, they're just creating things and saying this will work better. And how about you use that? One of the things that I found really fascinating, weird in the story was that it says here in the story that AI can occasionally hallucinate. I mean, are they celebrating Marijuana Awareness Month? I don't know. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:08:41 They're not. No, the robots are hitting the bong. But you may want to. When the robot takes your job, I'll tell you that. So when AI hallucinates non-functional elements requiring that the human says, hey, why don't you wake up? So be ready for that. There'll be one human. That's one guy.
Starting point is 00:09:11 There's one guy looking over the robot saying, hey, wake up. Quit hallucinating. That's incredible. You can count on. I'm happy to be that guy. I'll be the guy that tells the robots, hey, what are you doing? Right. Quit hallucinating.
Starting point is 00:09:35 What's going on? I mean, we're losing jobs left. see where a couple of big companies are starting to lay off even more. We talk about it all the time. But I'm sure that they saw it coming. The cruise workforce General Motors is slashing their employees by 50%. Wow. So about 1,000 employees get in the boot there because General Motors said,
Starting point is 00:10:05 yeah, we're not funding the Robotaxi unit anymore. and then Estee Lauder A mainstay in the makeup world for years is going to cut about 7,000 jobs and that's only, I mean that's 11% of their workforce but that's 7,000 jobs working for Estee Lauder gone, have a nice day, take care, good luck, God bless.
Starting point is 00:10:32 I mean, they claim that they just didn't they didn't do a good enough job. We didn't capitalize. This is what Estee Lauder said. We didn't capitalize on the higher growth opportunities quickly enough in channels, markets, media, and prestige price tiers, nor fuel new consumer acquisition aggressively enough. Sorry, we didn't do that.
Starting point is 00:10:56 You get out. You're fired. Sorry. It's on us, though. Man, it's not you. It's me. But you have to get out. Have a nice day.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Wow. That's okay. All right. So whether you have a job or you don't have a job or you have a job and you know the job is going away, it's always good to have a Jace case on hand, you know, just in case. I mean, I've talked a lot about Jace medical. Jace provides different cases full of emergency medications so that you have them the second you need them. It gives you protection and peace of mind.
Starting point is 00:11:40 You don't have to, you know, take my word for it, although I want you to. Heather, who got a Jace case, immediately knew this was something she'd been missing in her life. She said that the process is really easy. All it takes to get a J's case is fill out a simple online form. And for her lifestyle, having one at home was essential. She has eight active, busy children. So in her mind, it wasn't a question of if she was going to be. need the Jace case, but when?
Starting point is 00:12:09 Yeah, so if you like Heather have eight active, busy children, you definitely need the Jace case. It's a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics and medications that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.
Starting point is 00:12:26 It provides five life-saving antibiotics for emergency use. I mean, they even have ivermectin as an add-on if you want. Go to jace.com.

Starting point is 00:13:31 Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 186653310 or visit Comexontera.ca. You know the sound that people make while they're eating, you know, crunching potato chips, chewing gum, whatever sound they make while they're chewing food, chewing their cud. And so now we have a little. we have a name for it it's called
Starting point is 00:13:53 now it's not that at all it's called it's when they eat that may happen after they choke on what they've eaten but if you just the sound of what chewing their cud apparently it's called misophonia misophonia and these people
Starting point is 00:14:17 that have misophonia want recognition from the medical community, damn it. We are here and we have misophonia and we want to be recognized. So in this story about misophonia,
Starting point is 00:14:32 they talked to this lady Laura from Pennsylvania and repetitive noises spark something like a fury and for years Laura just thought she had a weird thing about sounds and her husband
Starting point is 00:14:49 was just, yeah, I just always thought she was picking on me. I was just sick of hearing her complain. And I was just trying to eat some chips. I can't hear it, so move on. But three years ago, Laura was scrolling through TikTok, and she happened to come across a name for the extreme and debilitating sound of intolerance, misophonia.
Starting point is 00:15:15 So the condition has attracted a lot of tension. Wait, what? you mean online people realize I've got that too that's what I have so they're happy that they have some kind of validation that
Starting point is 00:15:31 yes I know what that's like and they go on to say that she would put in noise canceling headphones when they ate so that she didn't have to hear anybody chewing anything that is I don't know what it is if you if you suffer from going crazy because someone is
Starting point is 00:15:59 chewing their food and you hear it you have misophonia and now you know what you have so maybe you can get through it I mean I bet if you have misophonia you are not listening to any of the ASMR people. I mean, you are, they would, that's insanity to the misophonia people. I just, I mean, you have the ASMR people, the autonomous sensory meridian response people, which I love.
Starting point is 00:16:28 I always, I still dream of maybe starting a TikTok channel, my own ASMR. We've got a wig I can wear and I can just make crinkly, tonight, we're crinkling a water bottle with half a bottle of water. just make, you know, sounds.
Starting point is 00:16:46 So those channels are incredible to me. They crinkle foil. They crinkle all. I mean, they even, at some point, right. Okay, tonight, we're listening to the sound of smoke, go through water. And we're going to smoke the smoke and put it deep into our lungs. While we do that, we're going to dream about water flowing through a bottle. And then we're going to relax.
Starting point is 00:17:30 That's got to be insanity for the, what's it called again? Amisophonia people. It's got to be insanity for those people. So stay away from those. Do you think all husbands suffer from this? suffer from misophonia husbands yes I think that it's possible that all wives
Starting point is 00:17:52 suffer from it because of their husbands yes I think that's possible because you know most males will chew on any number of things and not be concerned themselves with what it sounds like
Starting point is 00:18:09 now see if that drives you crazy do you have misophonia or do you have I hate that bastard man phonia. Because either one, just put your headphones on and zip it.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. All right, so for those of you that love the shamrock shakes from McDonald's, they're bringing them back. Yay. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:18:47 They want to recreate their recent viral magic that they have with Shamrock shakes so they're also bringing back grimace's uncle which i didn't remember that grimace had an uncle but he does he has an uncle named uncle oh grimacy see because he's he's irish and uh they're bringing back the shamrock shake so It's a nostalgic character from McDonald's
Starting point is 00:19:24 Now apparently they're bringing back Uncle O'Grimacy Which meant that Uncle O'Grimacy Was Alive and well at one part So they're unretiring The Mascot
Starting point is 00:19:39 After decades out of the spotlight So Uncle O'Grimacy Came to life in 1975 to promote the shamrock shake. But he hasn't been seen just the mid-80s. And I would venture to say that
Starting point is 00:19:52 I don't think he was seen in the mid-80s either because I do not remember Uncle O'Grimacy. But there you have it. They're just trying to fight back against Chick-fil-A. And they really want to beat Chick-fil-A in the drive-thru area,
Starting point is 00:20:11 but I don't know that that's going to happen. Chick-fil-A said that they sped up their drive-thrus and log more revenue per restaurant than any other fast food joined in the U.S. Okay. They did $21.6 billion in sales
Starting point is 00:20:26 across 3,000 U.S. restaurants in 2023. So I found it interesting how they got to pick up the pace at the drive-thrus. So there's a new at, there's a new company in, and I think it's
Starting point is 00:20:45 a Chick-fil-A company. They sent a team. out of that had drone pilots and it shoots the aerial footage from around the stores during the day and you see where what time it backs up where the turns are how it backs up where it needs help and to speed up the the drive-through area and it worked uh they used that they went back and looked at film and uh fixed it because when you go through a chick-fil-a man you're on it uh they're they're got it down. And so apparently now if 43% of fast food orders in the U.S. happen at the drive-thru window, 27% of those meals are down before exiting the vehicle. You're eating in
Starting point is 00:21:29 your car. Okay. And so I know McDonald's has been testing out there Cosmix. I mean, that's kind of like their Sonic-esque restaurant. Chippole and Shake Shack are adding more drive up lanes. That's good. I'd like to see that. that because shake shack usually you just have to go in there's not even a drive-through at most shake-shacks you have to go in and so hopefully that works i mean i haven't i might have to have a shake-shack i haven't had a shake-shack in a while you know else is pretty good a drive-thru's an in-out burger uh in-and-out burger moves it along pretty fast too i don't know that they have their film study in their lines but it's possible that they do because they've got their workers out there
Starting point is 00:22:10 that's what speeds it up really is uh having the workers out taking your order They do that at that drink place too. What the heck is it called? Oh, like a sift or shift. Swig, that was it. Because I went to, Swig was having their big 100th location party this past weekend. And my daughter's like, oh, we have to go to Swig. We've got to go to Swig.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I love Swig. Let's get Swig. We're out. We're out driving around. Let's go Swig. I love Swig. And they're on sale. It's only like they have a dollar, $2.
Starting point is 00:22:47 drinks at Swig. It's their anniversary. I was like, all right, well, let's go. I pull in. They have got a, they had him rode up. and looked like a Disney line to a ride. I mean, they were going through one parking lot into another parking lot, back around into the Swig drive-through. They had like three people out taking everybody's order. So once they got your order, no matter where you're at in the Disney line,
Starting point is 00:23:12 you're sitting there, you're good. And they moved it along pretty fast, but I mean, you're in line. And I'm talking about, I'm talking about, there was, had to be, oh, two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve, twenty, twenty, twenty, twenty, twenty, thirty, thirty, at least fifty cars in this line. And I'm probably thirty back when I pulled in. I thought I was living large, because I pulled in. And I, you know, the big, uh, Disney line was swirling around. But I was like, okay, I'm still good. I'm within that 30 mark. Pretty sure. And they take your order. So you, you already got your order in. You're good. And so Swig, isn't it? And let me just say this, too. Whatever my daughter ordered wasn't on sale. I was already, yeah, no problem. A couple of bucks.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Yeah, no, we're getting two drinks. You're going to take one back home? Yeah, okay. All right, no problem. It'll be $11. That's not the on sale price. Congratulations on your 100th store, wherever it is in the country. I'm glad everybody's celebrating.
Starting point is 00:24:17 I thought they were going to be, you know, two bucks. Yeah, no, not the ones my daughter ordered. Those were not on sale. But Swigs got it down. But that's the whole point of the drive-through. Okay, they're learning. Learn their business. Get the order in.
Starting point is 00:24:32 People are going to be in line. They're going to be less out. Plus, it speeds up the in-store process. You already see the orders come up. You know what you've got. You know where you're at. Boom, let's go. Get the production line in the store.
Starting point is 00:24:44 That's good business. And Chick-fil-A, obviously. figured that out and brought in their film crew and just filmed their stores you have the drones fly over and figure out where the problem is i i love that oh no oh no this is sad news though um you might want to get a tissue out because uh we knew we were happy when we announced uh i don't know a couple weeks ago that Heidi clume was coming back to project runway and we talked about that. They're going to start this new Project Runway program.
Starting point is 00:25:20 I think Tim is going to be there, so relax. But, you know, that's going to be started 20, 25 this year is going to be a 10 episode season. It's going to air on Disney's free form and stream on Disney Plus and Hulu. So you'll be able to see it.
Starting point is 00:25:35 I mean, Project Runway, when it was on Bravo, was awesome. You know, I mean, I was forced to watch it and I was forced to become a fan. And I did. I loved it. It was awesome. It was so much fun to judge who you thought was the best against your wife and who was doing the best and what material they were using and what they were making. And Tim was awesome. And it was just fun.
Starting point is 00:25:59 It was a fun ride. Can I tell you my theory? Now, I was going to say my theory on Project Runway when I watched the first season was that if Tim would come check the progress and if he said, this scares me. They always defend them, right? They're always like, oh, no, it's going to be great. Bottom three each time. I noticed that. Well, yeah, because you stink.
Starting point is 00:26:23 I know, but it's like if Tim says this scares me, that's, you know you're screwed. You're done. Yeah, Tim thinks you stink. Yeah. Tim's the coolest. Sorry. So the sad news, though, is that we were concerned that Heidi, you know, what's she going to do is she's going to juggle America's got talent as well.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Um, no. Uh, she's going to leave America's Got Talent. I know. Dry your eyes. No more. So she's been there for like, I think, 11 of the last 12 years. And, uh, so Mel B is joining, uh, returning judges, Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and Sophia Varega, uh, Sophia Vergara.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Uh, and host Terry Cruz is going to, and that premieres in May. Now, uh, I think this was. kind of a shock though because she was still listed as a judge when they were out doing their testing and picking people
Starting point is 00:27:27 and they were all about and she was still there. Her name was still on the list but no, not going to happen. Heidi is gone. I didn't know this either. She also did America's Got Talent and Project Runway.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Then she also is host and executive producer of Germany's next top model, which she's been doing alongside her US TV duties. Too busy woman, man. Making a lot of cash. Still looking good.
Starting point is 00:28:00 I know. Heidi's looking super good. And a lot of people think she's on fire. But you don't want that since she lives in L.A. I think most of the time. So you don't want that. So, just saying.
Starting point is 00:28:16 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. Who died today? Who died today? The Aga Khan. The Aga Khan dead at the age of 80. wait you don't know who the Aga Khan was or is
Starting point is 00:29:05 I don't know if they're relation I don't know if he's related to Chuck or not I don't think so because Aga became the spiritual leader of the world's millions of Islami Muslims at the age of 20 so for 68 years he's been the leader of the ismali Muslims he was handpicked from his from his from his grandfather because his grandfather didn't pick his father he didn't like his father was a playboy and he said no you are not becoming the aga Khan i'm giving it to your kid and so the kid took over his highness prince kareem al husaini uh the aga Khan the fourth and 49th hereditary imom of the shiat Osmali Muslims.
Starting point is 00:29:59 He died in Portugal, surrounded by his families. So his successor will be designated in his will, which will be read in the presence of his family and religious leaders in Lisbon before the name is made public. Oh, yeah, so whoever he pisses off will be mad in private. And then he's got to come out and say, yeah, we'll be good. So considered by his followers to be a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, and treat it as a head of state.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Okay. He was a student when his grandfather named him the successor. Yeah, that's the, that's right, because he was a young kid, they said when he got was 20. And the grandfather said, yeah, no, I'm not picking your dad, okay? Picking you. You're the guy. You're going to be the Aga.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Okay. And you tell Chaka to take a hike and you tell your old man to take a hike because you're the Aga now, okay? and so he is dead. I'm not sure who they think is going to be the new Aga. Yeah, it doesn't say. It doesn't say who is going to be the next Aga. So this guy was educated at Harvard,
Starting point is 00:31:14 left Harvard to be by his grandfather's side, you know, to get the gig. And then he went back to Harvard. He has the Aga Khan Development Network, which is his main philanthropic organization dealing mainly with health care issues, housing, education, rural economic development, says it works in over 30 countries
Starting point is 00:31:33 and has an annual budget of about a billion dollars for nonprofit development activities. And the United Nations all love this guy. Queen Elizabeth gave him the title, His Highness, two weeks after his grandfather, father, Aga Khan 3, made him the air. And so it, yeah, it doesn't say they all, they all sent out, you know, their condolences.
Starting point is 00:32:05 He was a symbol of peace. And he was a business magnate and a philanthropist moving between spiritually, spiritual and worldly with ease. And so it doesn't say who's going to be the next Aga. who's the next Aga? That's what I want to know. Who's going to be the next Aga? Well, well, we'll find out.
Starting point is 00:32:30 That is. That is. We'll find out in Lisbon whenever they read the will. And somebody's going to be angry that they were not chosen to be the Aga. So the Aga Khan dead at the age of 88. And since the, you know, the Aga Khan's philanthropic foundation worked a lot of health news, I don't know if they had anything to do. with the first ever trial for a vaccine against the Sudan strain of the Ebola virus.
Starting point is 00:33:00 But Uganda has initiated that. So this is a trial vaccine against the Sudan strain of the Ebola virus. And so, you know, we talked about the outbreak that they declared last week. And at least one person has died and two others have been infected. So the trial began with the first participant, currently in isolation, receiving a vaccination dose, the first of this week. And then the initiative is considered groundbreaking because no approved vaccine for the Sudan strain exists. So if you get Ebola, no, no, don't get this song on my head again. But if you get Ebola and it's the Sudan strain.
Starting point is 00:33:51 You might be an issue. Might be an issue. No, I'm not playing a stupid Ebola song. I was in my head all weekend long. It's all I sang all weekend long until actually my wife put a Bob Dylan song in my head, which was never ending. So I've now have the Dylan song and the Ebola song out of my head. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:16 So I moved on to Jelly Roll. And get by. Get by has been on my head the last few days. So working my way back to Ebola. So anyway, the strain is one of four Ebola viruses that give rise to the Ebola virus disease, which is a hemorrhagic fever transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids with an average 50% fatality rate.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Yeah. So, I mean, half of the people... I aren't going to do that for much longer. I do not wish Ebola on anyone. And it's pretty easy just to make sure that you wash your hands, face, keep yourself clean. Stay away from that infected Ebola guy. I can't.
Starting point is 00:35:14 I can't. Keep away from eyes that bleed. Don't lick vomit off the street. I mean, it's good advice. I know you don't want to die So slowly back away from that infected guy Stay an Ebola free Stay an Ebola free
Starting point is 00:35:41 Don't eat that raw meat and see We'll all be Ebola free Keep away from those sweaty sheets Keep away from discharge that secrete sand If you want to call me your fear Put down that glass of diarrhea Stay an Ebola free Everybody
Starting point is 00:36:13 Stay an Ebola free Don't touch others, and pee and we'll be Ebola free. Just wash your hands and you will see we can be Ebola free. I mean, that's done good advice. I mean, that should be played around the world, especially in Uganda. I mean, this is really a world health news segment is what I'm doing now. Okay, so we talk about Ebola, and now we find out that scientists who say they've
Starting point is 00:36:54 known for years that microplastics are present in virtually every human body, even, you know, in yours. But a new study raises concerns about rising levels in our brains. After examining 52 autopsified brains, they just examined the brains, okay, from 2016 and 2025. Okay, so in that time frame, researchers found microplastic levels had increased by 50% over eight years. On average, each brain contains seven grams of microplastics, about the weight of a plastic spoon. So while that number may be an overestimate, since other particles in the brain can resemble microplastics,
Starting point is 00:37:43 oh, really, interesting, interesting that some things in your brain resemble microplastics but aren't really microplastics. Don't worry about that, though. We're just going to say it's all microplastics. Oh, okay. It's still most commonly found plastic polyethylene, the same material used in food packaging and plastic bags. Researchers also found that dementia patients' brains
Starting point is 00:38:06 contained three to five times more microplastics than those without cognitive disorders. However, that doesn't mean that plastic causes dementia. Instead, researchers suggest dementia may weaken the brain's defenses allowing more plastic to accumulate. So stay away from microplastics. And that glass of, right, and that glass of diarrhea.
Starting point is 00:38:35 So there's a threat of mitroplastics in our environment, and we need to be aware of it. And, you know, they say in this study, oh, microplastics have turned up in blood, breast milk, and placentos, their health risks remain unclear. but they've been linked to strokes and heart attacks. Unlike some other pollutants, microplastics are essentially inescapable,
Starting point is 00:39:00 making it difficult to study their full impact. Oh, and one expert said, there are no control groups. Everyone is exposed. So, beware. Of microplastics. I am microplastic man. That's coming.
Starting point is 00:39:20 You can write you. You know what? write sure on comic book Microplastic man Look in the sky It's a bird It's a plane No

I cannot believe that this is still going on. sexual assault trial against former Spanish Football Federation President Luis Rubelis begins. So he's accused, remember this story? I mean, it happened back like a hundred years ago, 2023. It's never, I mean, it can't even remember that far back. So he's accused
Starting point is 00:40:56 of the unwanted kiss on the Spanish star Jenny Hermoso following their victory of the woman's World Cup. He was on stage. It was in front of the world and she was saying he said he went too far. He lost his job. He lost all of it. And now they're still taking him to trial over it. It's unbelievable. I can't believe there's still going on. Seriously. It's incredible to me. And speaking of crimes, like that bastard did, he kissed Jenny Hermoso too long and it was unwanted. And we're going to, we're going to try him for that. Sexual assault. Okay, Spain, you do you.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Here in America, we only arrest superstars kids for being drunk and having possession of drugs. Marcus Jordan, son of Michael Jordan, arrested in Florida, Orange County, DUI, and cocaine possession. So, I'm sure it'll be fine. No problem. It's very Florida. No question about that. It was about 114 a.m. in the morning. What else are you going to be doing at 114?
Starting point is 00:42:06 Marcus was driving his Lamborghini SUV, got stuck on the train tracks, and then he was placed under arrest for DUI after performing three field sobriety tests. That's a little much, don't you think? Police, a little much. So, yeah, that's his dad, but still. And during search of his pants,
Starting point is 00:42:33 Police found a white powdery substance that tested positive for cocaine. Okay, stop it. That's embarrassing. I mean, there's no way to tell. I mean, if he had cocaine in his pocket, he picked up a dollar bill and it had cocaine on it, it was in his pocket, and now the pocket tested positive for cocaine. Okay. Apparently, during Marcus was combative with police during the rest,
Starting point is 00:42:58 which I would like to see the dash cam video of that. and he was singing the entire way. So which was it? Was he singing or was he being combative? Or was he singing a song that you didn't like? So you thought it was combative. I mean, come on now. Come on.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Now, police said he had slurred his speech, red bloodshot and glassy eyes and an odor of alcohol. That bastard. So we'll see. He's still behind bars. I guess he had bonds. for $4,000.
Starting point is 00:43:38 But he said he was still behind bars, so I don't know if he made bail or not. He was recently featured on the Real Housewives of Miami because he's dating Larsa Pippin, the ex-wife of Michael's, I mean, his dad's former teammate, Scotty Pippin. So Larsa is 50. Wow.
Starting point is 00:44:01 But they broke up. in 2024 last year. I know. It's been almost a year since they've broken up and he's still struggling. I mean, who knows? He could say he never washed those pants.
Starting point is 00:44:11 I never washed those pants. I don't know where that cocaine come from. It could come from Larsa when we were married a year ago. I'm arguing for him right now. Yes, he had a DUI. He was drunk, but the rest of it
Starting point is 00:44:26 is all BS. And that combative with police? I mean, Maybe he was. Maybe he was. I get it. I get it. Like there was a, there was the, uh, down in Florida, uh, Warren Sapp.
Starting point is 00:44:40 I had the story and I never got to it. I wonder if I still have it. No, I don't have it. I'll find it. I'll find it. And we can talk about it on another show. But he was, uh, there was a person getting arrested. This was, like I said, it was down in Florida.
Starting point is 00:44:55 There was a person getting arrested. And Warren shows up while the person is getting arrested and is, you know, talking to the police and getting loud and telling the police that's not what she's doing and he's combative with the police and they end up arresting him and i was thinking okay well well bad move uh to arrest warren sap because uh you're not going to win that battle okay uh he's a florida legend uh miami legend uh nfll legend uh you're not going to win that battle but at the same time i'm like Warren, shut up, dude. Dude, just shut up.
Starting point is 00:45:38 But he didn't hear me, and I wasn't there at the time. That's why I probably didn't hear me. And if I was there, I was like, Warren, let's go, man, don't worry about it. Let's just blow this scene. Let's go. That's a quote. I would have said that. Warren, let's blow this scene.
Starting point is 00:45:54 But, you know, that's neither here or there now because, it didn't happen and it hasn't happened. But it was just really why this, I know what brought, why this came to mind is being combative with police. I have a real issue with a lot of these cases around the country where they, it's like they're just tacking on stuff for your arrest. Oh yeah, he was combative?
Starting point is 00:46:20 Well, you know, was he really combative or was he just mouthy? Because if he's, because if he's just mouty, that's you know that's not combative and police officers believe that it's combative and look I don't look at me like that I support the blue man I mean 100% back the blue

So I got an email from Nate, who reminded me that we were talking about Ebola on Friday's show. We were talking about the breakout in Uganda, which we just got done talking about how they have the trial vaccine in Uganda now with the breakout of the,
Starting point is 00:47:59 with the breakout of the Sudan strain of the Sudan Ebola strain that's making the rounds. And we gave you helpful hints with our Ebola song to make it better. But Nate wants you to also remember, it's kind of like a PSA from Nate. You should wash your hands even if you're not an employee. So I'm sure Nate is referring to, you know, the signs in all public restrooms at its stores that say all employees must wash hands. hands. And when you see that, you think to yourself, yeah, everybody should wash their hands really is. That's what Nate's referring to. So, gee, Nate, thank you very much for that PSA.
