Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. At first glance, you think, man, this is great. The headline is, are you a cheese lover? We'll pay you $1,000 to try different cheeses before going to bed. Well, yes, please, I'm in on that.

But not so fast, there, cheese lover. Sleep junkie is backing a stuff. that wants to find out, you know, we've heard all the theories about eating cheese before bed gives you nightmares, and they wanted to see if there's any truth behind that. So they're hiring a team of five dairy dreamers to experiment on the impact that eating cheese really has on our sleep quality, energy levels, and whether it increases the likelihood of nightmares.

The candidates will be paid for their work, and all cheese costs will be expensive. So again, right there, it's an expense. That means I have to buy the cheese and then you're going to pay me the money back. Really kind of weird. So plus, we find out that it's a three-month study and you're going to be compensated a thousand dollars upon completion of the study. A thousand bucks for three months?

That's a little chinty there, sleep junkie. Come on, maybe a thousand a month. You want me to keep track of everything? You've got to be 21 years of age. You have to own a smartwatch or fitness tracker that track sleep, have a consistent sleep schedule, be able to sleep alone during the trials, and you should not suffer, obviously,

from any current sleep issues and must not have any dairy or lactose intolerances. Duh. But our sleep experts, sleep junkies, sleep experts, are going to provide a list of cheeses that should be eaten each week. from a variety of cheese types, blue, hard, soft, ripen processed.

The trial will also include vegan and lactose-free cheese within the selection. As a dairy dreamer, you will then eat each kind of cheese every night at the same time before sleeping for a week, taking a week break between each cheese swap to ensure results can be accurately recorded. Okay, so then they have the dairy dreamers job application, you know, name, date of birth, all that kind of stuff. why you want to become a cheese tester. Are you able to commit to three months of work? You know, all that kind of stuff. But I really want to do this because I'm a fan of cheese.

I know. It's a surprise, but I am. I'm not really a fan of the list of cheeses that they have on their list, like blue and vegan and lactose-free cheese. Not really a fan of those, but, you know, whatever, we'll give it a shot. however the whole thing about being expensed and also just a thousand dollars for three months now look i know i i like a thousand dollars just like the rest of you i'm happy you want to give me a thousand bucks i'm in but it seems like for three months work every other week for three months

okay every other week for three months i have to keep track of everything for you and i only get and I have to buy the cheese, then you're going to give me my money back with the ones I show you the receipts and you're only going to give me $1,000 for three months. That seems a little cheesy. Maybe it's just me.

Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So I see where today is National Compliment Day. Today, if you're listening live, is January 24th, 20203. National Compliment Day. Oh,

and it says you never know when someone could use some good vibes. So give a compliment. I'm all for that. Just like I'm going to tell you right now, you look great. And I mean that, you look great. No matter what anybody tells you, you look tremendous today. But then I thought, well, a national compliment day. I wonder if anything else is going on today.

There are 15 holidays listed for today. It's Macintosh Computer Day. It's national beer can Appreciation Day, National Peanut Butter Day, Belly Laugh Day, Change of Pets Life Today, International Day of Education, International Mobile Phone Recycling Day, National Just Do It Day, National Lobster Thermador Day, National Matthew Day, Paul Pitcher Day, Drink Ale and line up your pictures. It's time to celebrate the conversion of St. Paul. It's speak up and succeed day. Talk like a grisly prospector day. And unification day. Man, there's a lot to celebrate today.

A lot to celebrate today. So go out there and make today great because you can. And the way you're looking today, man, you should be able to go out there and celebrate your butt off. Tomorrow will probably be a national butt off day. So last year, Eminems began to make changes to its candies spokespeople, and they claimed they wanted to be more representative of the customer to keep up with cultural trends by replacing the green Eminem's high heels with sneakers, and they had to continue down the woke road well now they're saying you know yeah we're gonna send

we're gonna send our M and M and stuff down a indefinite retirement really yeah that's it we just we need we need to just give it a little bit of a rest oh okay did it have anything to do with you know the backlash that you received you know the whole go woke, go broke thing? Mars has said, we're going to go ahead and put that marketing campaign on pause. Oh, okay. Why? It's not going good for you?

People were upset? I mean, this is Brown and I get to spend time together without some colorful characters barging in, Ms. Green. I mean, can't we just be M&M's please? I know we introduced the purple, the new female spokescandy designed to promote inclusivity. The peanut M&M, she appears plus-sized,

purple parading around backstage of a theater and singing, I'm just going to be me. Okay, that's great. You know, why don't they just, and now they've canceled it, okay, and they issued a statement, America, let's talk. In the last year, we've made some changes to our beloved spokes, Candies. We weren't sure if anyone would even notice.

Yeah, right. Okay, yeah, you did it because you didn't want anybody to notice. And we definitely didn't think it would break the Internet, but now we get it. Even a candy's shoes can be polarizing, which was the last thing Eminem's wanted since we're all about bringing people together. therefore we've decided to take an indefinite pause from these spokescandies in their place we're proud to introduce a spokesperson america can agree on the beloved Maya rudolph

who uh we are confident miss rudolph will champion the power of fun to create a world where everyone feels they belong now my Rudolph i you know worked on saturday night live and she's you know whatever it's fine she can be the their spokesperson for Eminem. It's fine. But why not instead of, I don't understand why they don't just, they're M&Ms. Just promote M&Ms.

You know what you do? You sponsor a stadium. You sponsor a stadium, the M&M Stadium. And it's the stadium that looks the most similar to an M&M, a circle stadium, a dome stadium.

You put the M&M logo on the top and you broadcast to hundreds of millions of people a year from that stadium from the M&M stadium. You give away M&Ms to the crowd. You give away, this would be a perfect way for me to set my world record of the most people sitting on a whoopee cushion at the same time at a stadium. You could do that with an M&M Mars whoopee cushion. I'm sure they would love to have a whoopee cushion, you know, with the M&M's logo on it. But it's just a promotional idea.

And it would bring people together. You're welcome, Mars. Call me. Email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You can direct message me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR. Or you can follow me, you know, message me on Instagram and Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. Whatever's easiest for you. Let me know.

I'm here for you. I got ideas for you. That will bring people together. Okay. I know that's what you want. here's another idea for you. And I've got football on the brain, so I apologize because it's, you know,

it's a big time football season. But you know how Dr. Pepper does the college give away and you throw footballs into the Dr. Pepper can, that kind of thing? And it's huge, and they do that at the national championship and the playoff games. So if you were to sponsor a stadium, an NFL football stadium, and you then have a giant bowl of M&Ms, you could sponsor, say you could sponsor work a deal with the NFL

and have a giant, giant container of M&Ms and have people try to guess how many M&Ms are in the giant container. And you can bring them out on the field and they could guess on the field. And the one who got the closest would be the winner and they would get a year supply of M&Ms and $100,000 to their charity of their choice and $50,000 to call, whatever the case is. It's just, you know, it'd be a lot better than spending $30 million on another campaign. But, you know, what do I know? Nothing. That's what I know. So just email me. And I've got more ideas for you. All right. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

Okay. So yesterday I see a story about Pamela Anderson, alleging that on the set of home improvement, this coming from her new memoir, she alleged. that on the first day of filming, she walked out of her dressing room and Tim Allen was in the hallway in his robe. He opened up his robe and flashed me quickly, completely naked underneath. This is what she alleged in her memoir, Love Pamela.

He said that it was only fair. I've seen me naked. I saw you naked, so now we're even. And she claimed that she laughed uncomfortably. So she was on the show for two years. and Tim obviously, well, not obviously, but Tim has denied

ever doing this. Okay, so this is her memoir. Then this morning I see a story about Pamela Anderson claiming that Sylvester Stallone offered her a condo and a Porsche to be his number one girl. This is what she claims

in her new Netflix document. documentary, Pamela, a love story, which is out at the end of this month. It doesn't say when her memoir is out, so I'm sure that's coming soon, if not almost at the same time, but I'm not sure. Stallone has said, no, that's not true. Never happened. So Pamela is just out trying for a little publicity to become relevant again. and trying to, you know, whatever she says,

all you have to do is deny. It doesn't matter. She said it, right? And so, you know, I was looking at some of Pam's history. So she's had romances with Scott Bale. Dean Cain. Baywatch co-star Kelly Slater. Real world New York contestant, Eric Nyes.

And who doesn't love the real world? New York contestant, Eric Nyes, he's been great. She's been married five times to four different men. She talks about her failed marriages to Tommy Lee and professional poker player Rick Selleman. She's got a couple of kids from Tommy Lee. She discusses being molested and raped, her career as an actress.

Boy, that's a stretch. And a playboy pin-up. That's in her, and she hates, I'm sorry, in this article it says her, disdain for the Hulu Emmy-dominated Pammy and Tommy series. Now that whole series

detailed the leaking of her and Tommy Lee's sex tape. So she needs to be relevant again. So just be prepared for more stuff in the documentary on Netflix and in her memoirs. There'll be a lot of other actors coming out saying

I deny everything she says. So leave me alone. And there may be some saying, yeah, I did it. I mean, so let's say this. All right, just let's use this for an example. Let's say Tim Allen did come out of his dressing room with his robe on. There was Pamela. Then 23, he was in his 30s.

And he's, you know, there's Pamela who's on the show, who's going to be on the show. First day of filming. And he's seen her naked. Who hasn't? And, you know, he flashes her. hey, we're even. I'm naked under here too. Is that horrible? I mean, I, you know, okay, fine. You know, it's horrible. It's horrible. I mean, I, I don't think so, but that's me. I know. I know that. So is, would it be horrible if, if Stallone said, yeah, I offered, I said, hey, I'll, I'll buy you a place to live and give you a car.

All you got to do is be around when I need you and we'll take care of a little business. You be my woman, you'll be my number one. And she said, oh, does that mean there's a number two? Even if there was so, I mean, oh, so he offered it. Let's say Stallone says, yeah, I offered it. I told her, hey, I'll put you up and I'll buy your car. When I have to go out somewhere, you're on my elbow. Was that, if he said, yeah, that's what I did. And she turned me down. So I moved on. I'm Sylvester Stallone. Would that be terrible? Maybe in today's world it would,

but it certainly wouldn't be for me. So Mayor of Kingstown is back up and running on Paramount Plus. That's with Jeremy Renner. That was done shooting before his horrible accident. Wow, it's dark again. Season 2 is enough. That show, man, I like it a lot, but it is dark. It's about this town in Michigan that has a prison.

and he's the mayor of Kingsdown, which is the mayor over the prison, and he's the go-between between the police and the prisoners, and it's a pretty dark show. It's fun to watch, though, I like it. And I finished Vikings of El Hala. Really enjoyed the heck out of that show on Netflix. I talked about the king.

The king does come back. He disappeared toward the end of season one. I'm like, what, I loved him? What the heck? I want the king back. and he comes back in season two. It takes a few episodes, but he does come back. So just let you know, he does come back in Vikings Valhalla.

I really enjoyed the heck out of that show. It was a good two seasons, hoping that maybe they actually come up with a season three, and it'll be worth watching. I know everyone is all excited about filming in Waxahaksy, Texas. They made the necessary approvals. they're going to start filming Taylor Sheridan's new show, at least some of it,

in the Ellis County, Texas courthouse, the middle of February. And the new show we've talked about before, 1883, Bass Reeves. I know. It's about one of the first U.S. marshals, one of the first black U.S. marshals in the American West.

He was awesome. He was commissioned as a deputy U.S. Marshall. He's responsible for catching criminals across 75,000 square mile region, Oklahoma and Arkansas. He killed at least 14 outlaws, captured 3,000 more, including his own son, retired in 1907, and became a police officer in Muskogee, Oklahoma. And he is sometimes referred to as the inspiration for the Lone Ranger. This is an awesome story. I can't wait for it to be told. and that's starting to film at least some of the filming is taking place

here in Texas and a bunch of Sheridan's shows are all, you know, they film here in Texas as it is. And did you watch, oh, you know what I watched this week too? It's a brand new show on Fox called Accused. And each episode is going to have a different story. So the first episode was, obviously, this week. And it's with Michael Chickles and Jill Hennessy

and Robert Wisdom, who is awesome. And so the episode revolves around this family. Well, you know, I probably, you know what? Watch it. It's still worth the watch. Really interesting. We'll definitely make you think a little bit. So this particular episode is about a family struggling with one son who obviously is the

golden child and the other son who has been struggling with mental health since the beginning. and so the mom has kind of dismissed it. The dad is like we've got to try to get some help. And then the dad struggles with it. And the dad actually goes through a time. Well, and if I tell you, then I'm spoiling the entire episode. Just know that as we find out what the dad is on trial for, being accused of, you say, no way. But in the end, you realize, I mean, his life is over.

I mean, this guy is portrayed as a surgeon, and he's been accused of this and accused of this crime. And no matter what happens, whether he's innocent or guilty, now his life is over. It's worth a watch. I like Michael Jickles. Jill Hennessy is fine. She's had a little, she's on her way to clownface.

I don't know. If you know Jill, just tell her, hey, I love your work. I love a lot of stuff you've been in. but I know you know you I loved you in Law & Order even though your character got a little tiresome at times I loved you on what's that showtime show The Hill I think it was called it was good in there but you know you're okay but you're on your way to Cloud Face so just take it easy take it easy okay Jill I know nobody can tell you anything

you're an actress out of Hollywood I got it but just remember three cuts to clownface okay I think you're You're on about two and three quarters right now. So just take it easy, okay? Take a pause. You look fine. Anyway, watch the show. Cused.

It's on Fox. If you have Hulu, you can watch it without commercials. Well, I guess if you have Hulu without commercials. Or just, you know, record it and DVR and watch it back. You don't have to watch it live. I don't even know what time it comes on, to be honest with you, because I recorded it. I know that it was promoted to come on after the football game.

this week on Sundays, but I don't know if that's their regular date for it to come on or not. So I just recorded it. I remember, oh, hey, new accused and I watch it. So, um, uh, one of the thing, and I'll tell you another thing that really ticks me off. We've been down this road before. All right. So I sit down to watch mayor of Kingston. And I love the show.

All right. And I have Paramount Plus, which we pay for for with commercials, which is annoying. And you can't fast forward through them. But, okay. And so that's fine. So you know what? It's fine, Jeff. It's fine.

Just watch commercials. I just mute it through the commercials, although I do turn the ones on that I want. Oh, what are they saying? And I do turn those on. Anyway, just a side track of commercials. And that's the app that has the pause and then the quick ad flashes up.

If you've paused longer than five seconds, genius. However, this one show a week thing, that's got to stop. I just, I need to have all the episodes there and I need to be able to go through them. Okay, I need to just binge him when I can. This whole thing, I mean, that's why I wait a lot of times. Like Criminal Minds, the latest season, I kind of wait.

You know, went away there for a few weeks and then it's now back. And I think I have two or three episodes, like my wife and I have two or three episodes to go before the end of the season. But you have to wait for them to drop. It's once a week. So it's almost like I kind of want to just let it go for a couple of weeks so I can just watch two or three at a time. It's just, is it me?

It's just me? Okay, all right, never mind. 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. It's just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister, this gold watch for my partner,

A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous for less. So the Oscar nominations are out.

We know that, according to CEO of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Scientist, Bill Kramer, he told us back in November that we're committed to having a show that celebrates the artisians, the arts and sciences and the collaborative nature of movie making and that every category will be included in the live telecast so it should be a good eight-hour broadcast

you could pretty much count on that that's coming up it's coming up on March right the 95th Oscars with Jimmy Kimmel hosting the awards for the third time, I think.

Yeah, March 12th at 8 p.m. Eastern. So you should be done by 4 a.m. Monday the 13th, Eastern Time. No problem, though. There's no time constraint because all the categories are going to be included. We don't care. We don't care what it is. So the best picture is every movie made this year.

Now, they've only listed 10. all quiet on the western front, Avatar of the Way of Water, the Banshees of Innersian, Elvis, everything everywhere all at once, the fableman's, Tar, Top Gun Maverick, Triangle of Sadness, women talking.

That's the best picture list. Best actor in a leading role, Austin Butler for Elvis, Colin Farrell for the Banshees of Innersian, Brandon Frazier for the whale. Oh my gosh, they're going to give it to him. After his crying, as is the one award show that they gave him.

I'm going to give it to him. Paul Meskell, Afterson, and Bill Nye, he living. Best actress in a leading role. Kate Blanchett for Tar, Anna Diarras for blonde, Andrea Reisborough to Leslie. She's been in a lot of good stuff, though. Michelle Williams, the Fabelman's. Michelle, you know, everything everywhere all at once.

Yeah, that's going to be the frontrunner. I think this is on everything, everything everywhere all at once. Is best supporter in an acting role. Banshees, Cosway, Brian, Turey, Judd Hirsch, Barry Keegan, Kuh, Kha, Kahn, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Yeah. Best Actors in a Supporting Role, Angela Bassett, Hong Chow the Whale, Carrie Condon, the Banshees, Jamie Lee Curtis, everything, and Stephanie. Everything, Everything, Everything, All at Once.

I've not seen that. I'm going to have to go out of my way to see it now. according to what I read, it's the American absurdist comedy drama. So, looking forward to that. And then, you know, original score, screenplay, song, screenplay, animated feature, animated short film, best production design, best cinematography, best costume design, best director, best, Best Documentary Feature Who's the Best Documentary Feature? All that breathes,

all the beauty of the bloodshed, Fire of Love, a House Made of Splinters, and Nelvon. Oh, they might not go with Nivani, although Pooty Poot is an evil guy, so they might give that to Nelani so that they make him still look like a bad guy.

And he is. Don't look at me like I was thinking he was a good guy. Best documentary. short film, the elephant whisperers, haul out, how do you measure a year, the Martha Mitchell effect, stranger at the gate. I mean, if I had to guess,

I'd give it to the elephant whispers, but I don't know that. Film editing, international film, feature film, best makeup and hairstyling, best sound, best visual effects, live action short film. Live action short film, an Irish goodbye.

If I'll do, night ride and the red suitcase I have no idea live action short film who they would give that to I mean the red suitcase

just a lucky guess maybe I don't know anyway the Oscar nominations are out and we'll be all just be fortunate enough to be able to watch this awards

on Sunday March 12th starting at 8 p.m. Eastern going to be on the red carpet at 4 or 5 Eastern on E. I don't know that though. I don't know if they still do that because it's on ABC.

So is E still under the ABC umbrella? Yeah, probably. And so you'll get, and if not, see, this is the thing that kills these award shows now. If not, just do it online. I mean, just do it on social media. Why do we need E and ABC to broadcast all these?

We've seen all their talks. We've seen the movies. Just show who won. I mean, shows who won. Air it live on YouTube, stream it on Twitter, stream whatever. We don't need, I mean, I know you've got the big money deal with ABC, but that's why nobody watches it anymore. That's why your ratings

are down. I know it's live TV and you think it's a big deal, but it really isn't anymore. Because we know what everybody looks like. We know the movies. We've discussed it on social media for the past year. Just tell us who you think, or who was

voted in, as part of the Academy's best picture. And then we can talk about that then, instead of waiting for an eight-hour broadcast on ABC Sunday, March 12. Again, though, what do I know? You know, speaking of movies, so we're watching, what were we watching last night?

Oh, Criminal Minds. Yeah, the new Criminal Minds on Paramount Plus. And, you know, so we have to sit through the commercials, right? Like I told you. And so, you know, we're just usually talking during the commercials. and there was something came.

Oh, I know. In the episode, one of the episodes, they show this girl in an air shaft crawling through an air shaft. And she's, you know, it's part of the show. And so I'm like, come out to the coast and have a few laughs from Diehard. That's the only thing I can think of when I see someone crawling through an air shaft is Bruce Willis from the original Diard. When he gets crawling in the air shaft, he likes the Zippo and come out to the coast. to let a few get together, we'll have a few laughs. And my wife says, what's that from?

And I was like, diehard. What are you talking about? That's from the very first movie. I know I've said that before when we've seen, when I have scenes like that. She goes, I know, but I just never really realized what it was from. So I come to find out, my wife has never seen the first diehard. Wait, what? Now, she remembers what's his face falling from Nakatomi Plaza.

Now, that doesn't mean she sees the movie. That's a scene that she remembers in her head. And then she said, isn't that the one where it's on the tarmac and it's winter? No, that's two. That's diehard two. Okay. So, I mean, I love the diehard series. Three, die hard with a vengeance.

And live for your die hard. Three and four are two of my favorites. Then it would go to one. And then it would probably go to two stands up a little bit better with time, but not really. I don't know, I just didn't stand up at the time. And then a good day to die hard, it was okay. You know, it was a good way to end it, I guess. But live free or die hard.

Die hard with a vengeance. Both of those are really good. But the first of all, she hasn't seen them. I was like, no, that's two. That's not one. So we're going to be watching that very soon. Now, I have the collection on DVD. I was looking on streaming to see if there was a free die hard to watch.

on streaming and they everybody wants me to buy it or rent it it no I already own it so you either let me watch it for free or you know I'll just wait for the DVD or wait for it to show up on one of the streaming services usually not long after I search for a movie on a throughout my streaming apps it comes up huh I wonder why that is anyway I freaking love those stupid die-hard movies I could believe she's never seen it. It's very disappointing. Very disappointing at my wife. So come out to the coast. We'll get together. We'll have a few laughs. Unwrap holiday magic at Holt Renfrew with gifts that say I know you.

So the Alex Murdaugh crime trial just got started. this week. Remember him, he's a lawyer from South Carolina, and he's on trial, accused, accused of murdering his wife and son. This is happening in Walterborough, South Carolina. That's where they're from.

And he was a prosecuting attorney. The whole family was a prosecuting attorney. He is accused of killing his wife and son. They were shot and killed at the family's hunting property. then in 2022, they charged him with the crime. They contend he committed the double murder to win sympathy and divert attention from his shady financial dealings and legal troubles stemming from a fatal boating accident involving his son.

He, of course, maintains his innocent. He is facing over 100 charges. I mean, he's got, don't worry about those old murder charges. he's also been accused of a litany of financial crimes, multi-million dollar fraud scheme that siphoned money away from his family law firm and its clients, diverting funds from the estate of his housekeeper who died in his home from a trip and fall accident, insurance fraud related to an alleged attempt to have his cousin murder him so his older son Buster could claim a $10 million life insurance payout.

I mean, it's a fascinating story. know if you've ever, there is a documentary on Netflix about this. I forget the name of it. It's probably, you know, Murdaugh, the murders of South Carolina or something I can't remember. I watched most of it, I think, because I love the story, the original story of when I first heard about this Murdaugh, murder story, really fascinated me because when he talked about having looked for one of his cousin to murder him, he hired some guy to shoot him from a tow truck on his roadway on some of his property or just outside of his property. And the guy either missed, I can't remember now, the guy either missed or didn't do it. And then it was just the whole thing, it was a string of screw-ups.

So he's probably going to jail. But look, innocent until proven guilty, right? Innocent until proven guilty. So I'll keep an eye out for him. the Murdaugh mystery and we'll see what happens to Alex Murdaugh and his trial in Waterloo or no it's Waterloo, South Carolina, Walterboro, South Carolina. Sorry about that, Alex. Okay, so who died today?

This is really who died today. But it's also animals fighting back story. Yesterday we had a couple of animals, you know, fighting back that possibly could be animals fighting back or humans using the animals as an excuse to kill another person. Well, this story in Sumner County, Kansas, the sheriff says the man died over the weekend after his dog stepped on a rifle causing the firearm to discharge. Uh-huh. So apparently the man was sitting in the front passenger seat of his pickup.

Why he was sitting in the front passenger seat of his pickup, I don't know. He had his hunting gear and a rifle in the back seat. A canine belonging to the owner of the pickup stepped on the rifle, causing the weapon to discharge. The fired round struck the passenger who died of his injuries on the scene. Oh, okay, sure. Now, we don't know the man's name, so who died today? Rest in peace to you, person who was shot in the bag. from your dog or the owner of the truck's dog

on the back of the car. It just makes really no sense. I mean, it's a great story. It would be a good mystery. But if you believe that the dog accidentally stepped on the rifle, to cause it to discharge to shoot the guy in the passenger seat and have him die of his wounds, his injuries is pretty incredible. So either animals are fighting back, Or humans are smartening up and using animals as an excuse.

Which one could it be? So a lot of mummies in the news these days, I'm sorry, not mummies. A lot of mummified persons in the news. We're not supposed to call them mummies anymore. Museums, specifically in Britain, but probably all over the world, are now using words other than mummy. to describe their displays of ancient Egyptian human remains. Instead, they're starting to adapt the terms, as I said, mummified person.

Or to use the individual's name to emphasize that they were once living people. We didn't know that? I mean, pretty sure we knew that. Wait, what? A mummy is a mummified person of someone who was once living? Oh, what? Are you kidding me? It wasn't just a monster from a movie?

What? So now we're also returning Sargophagus'uses back to Egypt because they were part of some crime ring years ago. And so we're just going to give them back to the Cairo's Antiquities Council. Yeah. We've decided that, hey, if we think that they were stolen years ago, we're going to give them back. So we just returned a 3,000-year-old sarcophagus. As they concluded, it was looted from the country in 2008. It was on display in Houston's Museum of Natural Science since 2013.

It was like a 10-feet-long wooden coffin known for its brightly painted green face and likely belonged to a priest named Enkamot. So they believed that last summer they revealed that the alleged, the alleged network of leaders in the art world were involved in illicit antiquities trading, leading to the indictment, remember we talked about this of the former director of the Louvre in Paris, Manhattan district attorneys announced that the Sargophagus was stolen from an Egyptian necropolis by the same network and sold to a private German dealer. So they handed it back to the Cairo Antiquity Council, and they, I guess,

They return, we've returned 5,000 ancient objects from across the globe back to Cairo. Maybe Cairo needs to upgrade their security a little. It's just me, though. I'm just, you know, what do I know? Again, what do I know? But don't call them mummies. Whatever you do, do not call them mummies. Now, speaking of bones, a 12,

That's right, mummies, well, they probably aren't any bones. Another could be, maybe that's all that's left in there is bones of the person, the mummified person. A 12 million-year-old whale fossil skull was found in Maryland. The whale skull fossil, estimated to be some 12 million years old, was found on a beach in Chesapeake Bay, according to a local museum. The discovery was made by a Pennsylvania man in October. Cody Goddard. He was searching for fossils and sharks' teeth.

The Calvert Marine Museum said that, yeah, he was out there searching. And we feel like, you know, it's a pretty good deal. And he said that he felt like he won the World Cup of Paleontology. Okay. Good. Good for you. We don't know what species of the Malian whale it is. We won't know that for a few months because we have to,

We have to extract and move the skull, which was encased in a hardened block of sediment and weighs around 650 pounds. Pretty small whale. It's just the skull. Oh, yeah, okay, never mind. It's the most complete fossil whale skull ever recovered in the Calvert Cliffs area, according to the museum,

and has been christened Cody for its founder. Go, Cody. The skull has been moved to the museum's fossil preparation lab and specialized tools. Yeah, you know, like soft brushes, will be used to remove the sediment that encases most of it, a process that will take many months.

Yeah, don't overdo it, okay? Make sure you softly brush that sediment off of the skull. Be kind of cool to see. 12 million-year-old whale, well, dead. But 12 million-year-old whale fossil. I mean, two months they'll say, nah, he died a couple years ago, never mind. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content
