Starting point is 00:00:00 Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Boating will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating.
Starting point is 00:00:22 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 1866-3-3-1-2-60 or visit Commexonterio.ca. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. There are nine major allergens. Milk, soybeans, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, peanuts, wheat, and sesame. They're most common foods known to cause allergic reactions.
Starting point is 00:00:54 And it goes on and on and on. And of course, if you are allergic to these, you well know. that you could have hives, rashes, swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, coughing, wheezing. I don't wish that on anyone. Signs of more serious allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis shock. Yeah, a cute swelling of the throat, which means you can't breathe, which means you die. A drop in blood pressure, difficulty breathing. Yeah, that would be the swelling of the throat and loss of consciousness.
Starting point is 00:01:25 So, you know, I get all that. but we now have another recall, a spaghetti sauce recall, because they forgot to tell everyone that there was eggs in the process. So the 16-ounce traditional country canning spaghetti sauce. And man, when I think of spaghetti sauce, I think of the traditional country canning spaghetti sauce, they as being recalled due to a presence of egg, which was not declared on the product label. Now, I get it. I get it. Egg is one of the nine major allergens, and I have someone in my house now that I live with that's allergic to egg. So I wouldn't want them to,
Starting point is 00:02:08 you know, have an allergic reaction to the traditional country canning spaghetti sauce. But I'm going to go out on a limb and just say I'm probably not bringing that traditional country canning spaghetti sauce into my house, but it might be good. I don't know. I don't know. So just be careful if you purchase the traditional country canning spaghetti sauce, it doesn't tell you that it has egg, has the presence of egg in the product and that could be risky. It's a product to, a class two designation, which is a situation in which use of exposure to a volatile product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences where there is the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote, but is still there.
Starting point is 00:03:04 So be careful out there and know that the traditional country canning spaghetti. I don't know why that bugs me so much. The traditional country canning spaghetti sauce is responsible for not announcing the presence of egg on their product. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat All right We're going to see if we can get through this today My voice is sounding okay right now
Starting point is 00:03:40 I've got some kind of mung going on And I did not feel really well Yesterday And so I mean I got a lot of A lot of resting and a lot of You know I did Pat show and I did my show And then I record another show that I produced And I came home and I had some soup
Starting point is 00:03:59 It was not the ISS urine soup, at least that I'm aware of. My wife made it for me. And that then I, you know, I laid down and, you know, just went to sleep. So I'm hoping that, you know, the mung is going away. And my voice is hanging in there pretty good right now. We'll see how it holds up. And then I didn't, I usually do Mojo 5-0 with Brad, Brad and Ron, on Thursday mornings. I did not do that this morning.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I woke up bright and dark at about 5 a.m. And I was like, ooh, I do not. I spoke a couple words out loud. And I thought, ooh, voice is not quite there. I don't want to chance it. So we'll see how it goes. I mean, it's that time of year again. So we get lists from everything, from everything and everyone and what we all loved and what we all looked for.
Starting point is 00:04:48 And I was looking at Wikipedia's top articles for 2024. Now, Wikipedia claims that they had, Uh, 2.4 billion hours reading articles on English Wikipedia last year. I'm responsible for some of those, that's for sure. So the top, uh, the top articles of 2024 were deaths in 2024. I have definitely responsible for that. Uh, number two is Kamala Harris. And I don't know that I looked her up much.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Uh, 2024 U.S. presidential election. Hey, possible. Lyle and Eric Manette. Possible. I wanted to remember, bring back some memories of them. Which, you know, who doesn't want to bring back memories of Lyle and Eric Menendez? Donald Trump, I don't know, maybe. Indian Premier League?
Starting point is 00:05:42 No, not one. They say 24.6 million people. 24.6 million streams or looks at the Indian Premier League. I can say I'm not one of those. J.D. Vant. I do not think I looked anything of JD, but it's possible I added to some of that. Deadpool and Wolverine?
Starting point is 00:06:07 No, I did not. Maybe, maybe one. Maybe when it first came out, something. Project 2025? No. Maybe, again, some of these are maybe, because I look up stories and, you know, maybe it's a Wikipedia story,
Starting point is 00:06:19 but mostly it's not. And then in 2024, the Indian general election. Yeah, I don't remember looking at Wikipedia. for information on the 2024 Indian general election. But it's possible. It's possible. And they claim that a big chunk of articles were the Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:06:42 It was the most visited for an individual. Kamala Harris, the most visited for an individual. Yeah, because, I mean, deaths in 2024. That's not just a compilation of many people dying. But she is the... top individual four searches. And I'm sure that people were looking to make sure that everything she said was 100% true. Because, well, it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:07:09 And sorry about that. And then Donald Trump and J.D. Vance's pages racked up nearly 50 million views between them. And Deadpool and Wolverine, I guess, peaked the public's curiosity more than any other movie. But the Menendez brothers were more widely, a wicked after two major Netflix released get covered the case. Yeah, no kidding. And of course, Spotify, which I listen to some stuff on Spotify, I guess, but I don't, you get my music from Spotify. I listen, if I'm listening to music, I listen through
Starting point is 00:07:43 Amazon music, just, I don't know, just the way it is. But I see where they, you know, they released their wrapped 24, their year-end data. And Taylor Swift, congratulations for the second year in a row is the most streamed artist globally. I mean, we're doing all these lists. It's again, that time of year. So congratulations to Taylor Swift. Number one, most streamed artist globally in 2024.
Starting point is 00:08:12 It's because of her tortured poets department and her tour, of course. And all told, her music generated more than 26.6 billion streams on the platform. Bad Bunny, Drake, Billy Elish, we're on that list. But Swift's tortured poets broke several Spotify records, including becoming the first album of top 300 million streams in one day. Yeah, we talked about that. More than a billion in the first week in release. Yep.
Starting point is 00:08:47 She had a banner year. Yeah. Okay, so the top eight of the 10 most streamed albums worldwide. on Spotify or women. Wow. I mean, breaking through that glass ceiling. Billy Elish,
Starting point is 00:09:08 Sabrina Carpenter, Carol G. Ariana Grande. Hello. These are all women that people, I don't know. We don't really care. We just want to be entertained
Starting point is 00:09:22 and listen to something good. Am I right? There's no need to answer. I know the answer already. Okay. Let me take a minute and tell you about Oracle. Even if you think it's a bit overhyped, AI is suddenly everywhere, from self-driving cars to molecular medicine to business efficiency. If it's not in your industry yet, it's coming.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Fast. But AI needs a lot of speed and computing power. So how do you compete without cost spiraling out of control? Time to upgrade to the first generation of the cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI. OCI is a blazing fast and secure platform for your infrastructure, database, application development, plus all your AI and machine learning workloads. OCI costs 50% less for compute and 80% less for networking, so you're saving a pile of money.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Thousands of businesses have already upgraded to OCI, including MGM Resorts, specialized bikes, fireworks AI. Right now, Oracle is offering, to cut your current cloud bill in half. If you move to OCI for new U.S. customers with minimum financial commitment, the offer ends at the end of the year, 1231-24, see if your company qualifies for the special offer at oracle.com slash jeff. Oracle, O-R-A-C-L-E dot com slash Jeff.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Oracle.com slash Jeff. 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. Okay, at the time of this recording, we still have not received a verdict in the Daniel Penny trial in New York. How this was ever brought to trial, I do not know. I mean, even the mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, has said that he was responding to what we should have done as a city. Someone talking about hurting people, killing people, and you have someone, Penny, on the subway, who was responding to that.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Yeah, hello. How this is, how this man is put on trial. I have no idea. Yet, he is. and in fact he's facing manslaughter and negligent homicide. I just don't understand it.
Starting point is 00:12:14 So, I mean, I don't know why it's taken so long for this jury to find this man not guilty, but they better hop on it. Someone pass him a note from me and chewing the fat and tell them to hop on this
Starting point is 00:12:30 not guilty verdict. Let's go. I mean, that's legal, right? Yeah, don't worry about it. Okay, so now, We have, speaking of New York, more New York stories, we have the story that we talked about yesterday in Who Died Today as the CEO of United Healthcare. Brian Thompson, who was 50 years old, was gunned down in Midtown Manhattan yesterday. Yesterday morning, as a matter of fact, for those of you listening live, today is the 5th of December, 20, 24. Wow, 5th of December.
Starting point is 00:13:01 We are 20 days away from Christmas. 19 shopping days left So get out there and have fun Anyway, Brian Thompson Gunned down on the streets of Middown Manhattan yesterday morning And the video has been released You can tell it was definitely not random It was a targeted attack
Starting point is 00:13:24 And I mean, everybody's talking about the possibility Of it having to do with some DOJ probe, and they were talking about the United Health Care insurance company was a part of this with the deny, depose, and depend that was written on the live rounds and shell casings left behind by the assassin. Look, we know insurance companies have been denying claims forever. We remember the documentary Rainmaker, the movie Rainmaker from 1997, which was an awesome movie. Loved it. You know, and I watch it from time to time, and I still like the movie very much.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Matt Damon, Claire Danes, John Voight, Mickey Roark, Danny DeVito. I mean, it was an all-star cast, and the movie was really good. However, no one was murdered. Well, you make the case that the reason the kid died is because of the denial of health care from the health care company. And their first chain was to deny everything. Send it back. No matter what, no matter what people put in to receive their insurance benefits, deny it. And then we'll look at it again and again and again.
Starting point is 00:14:52 but the first round is always deny, which, you know, they're trying to make the case that the book by this Jay Feynman, delay, deny, and defend why insurance companies don't pay claims and what you can do about it, you know, was a part of this assassination of Brian Thompson.
Starting point is 00:15:11 And then we are talking about how horrible it was on the wife and his children. And, you know, they contacted his wife, Paulette. And she told NBC News that she was informed by the New York Police Department that the attack on her husband was planned. She said there had been threats. Basically, I don't know. I don't know any details.
Starting point is 00:15:35 I just know he said there were some people that had been threatening him. And she said that he hadn't altered any of his travel plans. And she also said, I really, I can't really give you a thoughtful response right now. I just found out and I'm trying to console my children. well, that's all good and I believe that. But she still gave that statement, right? She still gave that statement as I don't know
Starting point is 00:15:59 and I can't really say anything. It's just horrible. I've got to let my kids know and I'm trying to console my children but just I know there were some, you know, there were some threats on his life and I just, I can't talk about it right now. Okay, so I'm going to tell you that no one,
Starting point is 00:16:14 no one has told you this and I'm telling you this. It's probably her. It's always the wife. It's always the wife. I don't think it had anything to do with denial of health care. I don't think it had anything to do with some DOJ probe. Apparently, he sold some stock a couple of weeks before the DOJ probe was announced,
Starting point is 00:16:38 which makes sense if you know if you know that a probe is coming, that immediately is going to affect your stock. Even if you're innocent, the allegation alone is going to affect your stock. So, hey, let's get my stock. out at the top dollar. I mean, I think that's a smart move. However, whether it's legal or not, that's up to you for you to decide. I will just say that I find it interesting that no one has said, that's probably the wife.
Starting point is 00:17:05 I mean, the guy, you know, the assassin who either, whether he was a, you know, a qualified assassin or a beginner assassin, I don't know if he'd taken assassination classes, he worked, it worked. And, you know, you see the picture of him. I said my ex account at Jeffrey JFR, if, you know, with this picture, if you know him, you know him. You can quote me on that. And you can quote me on that anytime.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Anytime they show you pictures of someone that you're not quite sure who it is, it isn't quite visible, but you can see the body type, the hands, what the face looks like between the bridge of the nose and the forehead. If you know him, you know him. So is it, and he had the backpack and he, you know, ran away. and they're talking about him drinking coffee and have water and DNA waiting for this guy to show up. And then he was on some bike.
Starting point is 00:17:58 And look, all that is long. I don't think we're, if we do catch him, we're going to find out that this was on behalf of the wife. That's just me. It's just my thoughts about this. It could be completely off base. But just, you know, from everything I've seen in the past, it's always the wife right it's always a spouse so i hope that i'm sorry that uh this woman and and the children of this man are suffering in this way no question and i have no proof whatsoever
Starting point is 00:18:36 and i have no information whatsoever that it is her or anything to do with her but i'm just saying when it comes out that it is her. Just know you heard it here first. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So I'm sure this is no surprise to anyone, although it's interesting when you read it. CNN and MSNBC are hemorrhaging viewers, and I'm sure they don't know what to do about it. During the week of November, 25th. Now that's a holiday week, I know, which is kind of, you know, there was a big story about how MSNBC had the lowest numbers. They had like 38,000 average demo viewers on November 26. Well, I mean, it's Thanksgiving. We're watching football. We're not watching MSNBC. Sorry about it.
Starting point is 00:19:40 We're just not. So I'm not going to give it too much credence. I mean, we're just not watching MSNBC on Thanksgiving or CNN or Fox. I mean, I'm probably sure their numbers were probably, you know, a lot better. CNN and Fox, for sure, than MSNBC. I don't know why that is for CNN, but it is. But according to this, CNN saw its lowest rated week that week since June of 2001, with an average 268,000 viewers. That's during the week of Thanksgiving, November 25th, and Fox had like 1.4 million.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Okay, head to head. But that's still, I don't think that's good for Fox either. That's just good comparatively speaking. I mean, NFL football was, you know, 30, 40, 50 million people. So there's that. MSNBC managed to only slightly outdraw CNN with an average of 346,000 viewers. But, I mean, they averaged 465. thousand viewers in primetime.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Yeah, that's not good. And the demo for CNN, the 2554, is just 41,000 viewers a week. Holy cow. I mean, that is terrible. So I don't know, you know, what they're doing. Well, they're trying to figure out, we kept lying and everybody was,
Starting point is 00:21:07 now they don't believe us. I mean, holy cow. Nickelodeon, the Disney Channel E, the Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network, that's still alive and well. Oxygen, MTV, Hallmark Mystery, still doing better.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Then MSNBC, yes, yes, yes it is. So, man, they are just, I don't know what's going to happen to them. They may just shut down. No question. Now, if they want to, you know, if they want to reach out, and talk to me about perhaps doing a Chewing the Fat show on simulcast on MSNBC or CNN. I'm willing to talk to them. Just email me, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com.
Starting point is 00:21:52 We can figure out something. Chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You too can email the show, i.e. me, anytime you want, at Chewing the fat at theblaze.com. I do see them. Thank you all very much. I may not respond to them all, but I do see them. Thank you very much. Now, they could direct message me on X at Jeffrey JFR if they're still on
Starting point is 00:22:11 they might have went over there to Blue Sky. Although I'm on Blue Sky. I haven't posted anything yet. I did set up an account on Blue Sky.

You know we were looking at how MSNBC and CNN are hemorrhaging viewers, but I was looking at Nielsen does their media distributor gauge, which is their aggregated view of total TV usage by media company. And so they list, you know, the top ones.
Starting point is 00:25:24 And this is from October of this year. Disney was number one at 11.7%. Then YouTube, NBC Universal, Paramount, Fox. Netflix. Wow, Netflix had 7.5% of the viewership. Then you drop down to Warner Brothers Discovery that had 6.7%. Amazon, then 3.6, scripts, Roku Channel, Weigel, Hallmark, Annie, AMC Networks had 0.9%. I'm sure I'm the reason for the AMC networks at 0.9%.
Starting point is 00:26:04 because I watched Hell on Wheels again. There's only five seasons, but that was part of my viewing with my father-in-law because he had not seen the series. It was awesome. It was great to see it again. But it was awesome. The five seasons, if you have an opportunity,
Starting point is 00:26:22 and you have never watched it, start on season one and just bang through them. Some people will just call that binging, but I say bang through them because it's five seasons and you get to appreciate it. all the characters, everything that happens. It's really, really good.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Hell on Wheels with Cullen Bowhannon. Now Cullen is played by Anson Mount, and I don't care whatever Anson Mount has done, and he's done plenty of other work. His best work is playing Cullen Bowhannon in Hell On Wheels. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is, here.

So apparently this woman, the 64-year-old Elizabeth Pollard, who I'm not putting in who died today, because she's not dead or hasn't been classified dead yet. But they are searching for her in Pennsylvania because she walked outside of her car to look for her cat, apparently. And then she just disappeared. and they believe that she fell into this sinkhole. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:28:13 So they found a sinkhole not far from her automobile that was an old mind, and they believed that that sinkhole just opened up and swallowed her in. And there's a picture of the sinkhole, and they said they were searching the area. The five-year-old granddaughter was found inside the vehicle. She was cold and scared. Yeah, no, duh. But apparently while walking around the car, they found the sinkhole,
Starting point is 00:28:41 and they believe that Pollard may have fallen down that hole while searching for this cat. And we still haven't found her. It's been a couple of days. So, I don't know. Is she alive? Is she dead? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:57 People have commented that if you live in this area of Pennsylvania, there's the possibility of sinkholes no matter where you live. Oh, okay. I've lived in Pennsylvania, and I did not witness that, but maybe that's not where I lived in Pennsylvania. I get it. It's a big state.
Starting point is 00:29:17 So I guess they found a shoe, and they believe that there's no carbon monoxide issues, no explosive gases, so the oxygen levels have been perfect. So they're just concerned that, We don't know what happened to her or where she went. So as of right now, this lady is just up and disappeared. And it's something apparently she would not have done. And so we are searching for the 64-year-old female from Pennsylvania, Elizabeth Pollard.
Starting point is 00:29:53 So keep your fingers crossed and say your prayers. Hopefully they'll find Elizabeth wandering around the sinkhole mine. I don't know why she would do that. why she wouldn't stay where she could see the light from the top of the hole that she fell down in and then she could say help help help well that's not what happened so I guess she was searching for her missing cat and brought a granddaughter along and then she was wandering around the car fell into this sinkhole That's what we're told. I'm not doubting the story.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Just say it's a strange one. It is a strange one. Speaking of death, congratulations to England. The members of parliament have voted to pass a legislation that makes assisted suicide legal in England and Wales. It will allow for the death of those in the two countries who are over the age of 18 and are registered with a general practitioner for at least 12 months. So if I'm not registered with a general practitioner for 12 months, I can't do it. Okay. The bill passed with a vote of 330 to 275.
Starting point is 00:31:10 It will allow patients to expect to be killed within six months of their request. Come on. Okay. So you have to have a doctor the same, I guess the same registered general practitioner for at least 12 months, although this doesn't say the same. You just have to be registered with a general practitioner. for at least 12 months. And then once you say, hey, yeah, hey, I want to be, I want to kill myself.
Starting point is 00:31:39 You can be killed within six months of your request. So that's special, right? Right. So two separate declarations must be made by the patient. Two independent doctors, okay, declaring the patient is eligible at least seven days apart. Okay. And then additionally, a high court. would have to rule each time a person makes a request to die,
Starting point is 00:32:03 afterwards the patient has to wait another 14 days after the ruling to reflect on whether he wants the government to kill him. Wow, I mean, we are getting into the weeds here. A doctor who would reportedly prepare a substance that would kill the patient, but the patient has to adjust the substance. Okay, so, I mean, you've got to jump through some serious hoops to kill yourself this way, if you want to do it this way. in the United States,
Starting point is 00:32:31 euthanasia. Yeah, it's not. Hello. We got it. And apparently, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Ecuador, Luxembourg,
Starting point is 00:32:38 Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland have all legalized assisted suicide. Switzerland, yeah, there's still a debate
Starting point is 00:32:46 surrounding the suicide pods, which is the same as those bath pods in Japan. So we're just throwing out pods for everybody to sit in, whether you want to kill yourself or take a bath. So in the Netherlands,
Starting point is 00:32:59 and assistive suicide is allowed for terminally ill children, ages 1 to 12. Those who are 5 to 10 years old can be killed if they are determined to be suffering. I'm bearably or have no hope for improvement. Oh, that's great. That's great. Isn't that great? Oh, my little baby, you're 10. I know you could not make that decision.
Starting point is 00:33:20 I'm sorry. As a parent, there's not a way in the world that I could ever make that, make that, decision. No way. But at least in England, all you have to do is I have two separate declarations made by the patient with two independent doctors declaring the patient is eligible at least seven days apart. Then you have to go to the
Starting point is 00:33:45 high court judge who would rule that that person's request is okay and that they can die. After which you have 14 days, after all of that, to reflect on whether you want the government to kill him. Then, you'd get the doctor mixing up the death goo and you'd have to take it yourself. So, man, it is just that easy. We did get some medical news, though, this week that is really cool.
Starting point is 00:34:11 The paralyzed patients have regained control of their leg muscles and the ability to walk again after scientists applied deep brain stimulation to the lateral hippo. Thalamus brain region. I think that's, it's, it's, I didn't realize that we had a hippothalamus brain region, but apparently, we do. Hypoththalmous. Yeah, that's what I said. The hypothalamus, the lateral. Hypothalamus. Hypothalamus.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Hypothalamus. You know, tomato, tomato, and the brain region that's not typically associated with motor control. I mean, that's fantastic. So if you're paralyzed, you're saying, please get to stimulating my hypothalamus. And let's go, because I want to start walking like right now. What do I got to do? What do I have to pay? Whatever I have to do, I need you to dig deep down and get in there and massage the old
Starting point is 00:35:25 hypothalamus so that I can walk again. I mean, they tell a story about this Wolfgang Jagger from Austria, 54, had been in a wheelchair since 2006 after a skiing accident, and that skiing accident left him with a spinal cord injury, and he participated in this clinical trial. He experienced firsthand how the deep brain stimulation could restore his mobility and independence. Last year, on vacation, no problem to walk. A couple of steps down and back to the sea,
Starting point is 00:35:59 using the stimulation. Oh, I wonder if you have to do that all the time. Beyond walking, the therapy has improved everyday tasks. I can also reach things in my cupboards in the kitchen. As well-established, this DBS is a well-established neurosurgical technique that involves implanting electrodes into specific brain regions to mod. I see, okay. So, movement disorders like Parkinson's.
Starting point is 00:36:25 I mean, this is kind of what Elon is doing too at NeurLink. So this is the, this is awesome. This is awesome. So the study they published in nature medicine, and I'm a huge fan of nature medicine. But not only did the DBS show immediate results to augment walking during rehabilitation, patients also showed long-term improvement that persisted,
Starting point is 00:36:48 even when the stimulation was turned off. Yeah, so you get it for a little while, but it doesn't keep up. So you have to keep, you have to keep massaging the old. Hypothalamus. So, you know how important that's going to be to just put a, go ahead, put the, put the machine on and I'll walk around. And ever so often, I'm just going to push a button and get the old hypothalamus massaged. And then I'll be able to, you know, take a couple of steps and grab some stuff out of the cupboard.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Incredible, just incredible. I hope this works on everyone. That's amazing. If you're, I mean, if you're paralyzed or have any, especially that park, What a horrible disease. And if these implants, either from this company or NeuroLink or whoever is producing it, and they can stop this and help people with the paralysis by just massaging the old hypothalamus. Good.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian life. leather handbags. Designer. Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Landed makeup palettes from the brands you love. Rushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals.
Starting point is 00:38:28 We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. There was research done by the Imperial College London. Man, who isn't a fan of Imperial College London? They researched 26,000 people. people. And they found that night owls scored higher on intelligence, reasoning, and memory test than early risers.
Starting point is 00:38:49 That's because early risers are tired. Man, I could be a night owl. And I guess I consider myself a night owl, although I've worked mornings for so long. It seems like forever. I mean, forever, I've been getting up at 2, 2.30 in the morning. But I can revert back. When we go on vacation and I'm not doing a daily show every day. like I record this show every day in the morning, mid mornings usually. Why? Just because I do. That's the way it happens. And it gets, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:16 dropped at, I think, four in the afternoon central time. And so, I mean, I just record it, you know, mid morning. And, but I do Pat's show a couple times a week, sometimes more. That show starts at 6 a.m. Central.
Starting point is 00:39:30 So I'm up at 2.30 every morning for that. I do, you know, Brad's Mojo 5-0 in the morning. You know, at 8 Central on Thursday, so I've got to be up for that. And then, you know, we do the Saturday morning live, which is 9 central. So I'm up in the mornings, and I just, I mean, I really don't like it. I've been a night owl forever. I used to work overnight, and it just was so, it was so good to work at night and overnights.
Starting point is 00:40:04 And it talks about, well, you still need the importance of seven to nine hours of sleep, okay, but that doesn't mean I have to do it at night. I could sleep, you know, during the day. I still get sleep. And I just, I would love to be a night owl again. And maybe I will, maybe I will. You know, I've been tossing around the idea of some kind of night show. And, you know, maybe I will.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Maybe I will. I love the idea, you know, the old school, we've talked about it before, the old school way of life before electricity. when people would sleep a couple, two sleep nights. You'd wake up and you'd do some stuff, then you'd go back to sleep. I mean, I could do that in, I love that plan. And I just, I'm okay with being a night owl.
Starting point is 00:40:52 And obviously, thanks to the research from Imperial College of London, it's not of London, it's Imperial College London. They believe that night owls scored higher on intelligence reasoning, memory tests. Yes, yes, I believe that that is 100% true. Okay, let's get out of here. My voice held up pretty good. I'm feeling pretty strong. I might actually be on Pat Gray tomorrow morning.
Starting point is 00:41:19 For those of you, again, listing live. Today is the 5th of December, 24, which is a Thursday. And so Friday is usually a day with Pat Unleashed as well. So I'm feeling okay. My voice is hanging up pretty good. So the joke of the day really is something I meant to talk about. And this past weekend was the big Texas A&M, Texas football game in College Station at the Kyle Field. And Texas defeated Texas A&M.
Starting point is 00:41:51 But the Texas A&M Police Department have now started to become pretty famous for their posts on acts about the people that they arrest and what they've done and what they're doing. And they've had, you know, we saw the video of the. the guy riding a horse and the other guy and his dog riding a long horn. They were on campus, and the police asked them to leave campus. It's Texas. And you watch that and you think, ah, who cares?
Starting point is 00:42:22 But, you know, if that bull, a horse, for that matter, decided that I didn't like doing what it was doing, would be not good for all the people walking around on campus. So they agreed and they left campus on that. But it talked about, and then they had the big report of the two people who tried to sneak into the game. And they tried to sneak in as construction workers and with fake credentials. The credentials obviously, you know, looked fake.
Starting point is 00:42:53 And those, they were arrested. Now, don't forget, Texas A&M was last year or the year before when that guy snuck in as a recruit. And he was on the sideline. he was in the locker room and that was all with the fake pass so i'm sure they're very vigilant now because that guy went viral with his uh with his video about how he got in with the fake pass how he they pretended that he was a recruit he was in the locker room and he really was just a guy pretending so i'm sure they're very vigilant now and you know of course i mean they got the disorderly conduct arrest and all that kind of stuff uh from their from their from their ex account but this one was
Starting point is 00:43:34 of the 21-year-old and the 22-year-old from Houston, where they tried to get into the game as construction workers and with their fake credentials. And when you look at the names of the credentials, I mean, a reasonable person knows that they're not real, which is how they got busted, but it's really, really funny. If it would have worked, definitely would have
Starting point is 00:44:04 viral. So one of the guys' first names was Harry, and one of the guy's first names was Duncan. And then, of course, their last names on the credential was Ascrack and McCockoner. You can put together whose first name went with the last name. But that is hilarious. They didn't get in, though. And good. I don't want anybody with a sense of humor
