Blaze Radio Network And now Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher So I don't know if they've pulled them all Or they've just pulled some But Major League Baseball

Has a little bit of an issue With their new baseball caps They have this new era That's what they're calling The New Era of Baseball Caps The Overlap Hats For the 2025 season and they've already pulled some.

And I don't know that, I don't know how Major League Baseball let it happen. They would just, yeah, go ahead. It's fine. It looks fine. I'm sure it'll be fine. What we'll do is we'll put the team's name on the hat and then we'll overlap the logo.

And the logo will be big over the team's name on each hat. Well, I don't know if they've pulled all of them, like I said, but they've for sure pulled the Texas Rangers hat. because it had Texas and then the giant Tee overlapped on top. So when you look at it, Titas. Okay. That's what you want. I mean, I'm a fan.

I'm a fan of Titas, but I don't necessarily want to see it on my baseball hat. The Astros hat had the Astros with the big star and the H in the middle. So it looks like Azhose. I can start watching baseball again now. And the Angels one, the California Angels one, had the Angels and then had a giant A with the, what is that?

It's like a halo over the A. And so it looks like anils. I know. I know. What are they thinking? Well, those have been bulled. So if you want them, you're going to have to find them on eBay for a pretty, pretty penny because they were released to purchase.

And then they weren't. there was one Oakland A's one that I looked like it had the just the A-apostovie S on it because it had the A's logo on it and then the giant A's logo overlapped on top so it just looks like ass

and that's awesome I want that hat so many like the Boston hat was a Bobon, you know, because they put the giant B over Boston. So what you read is Bobon. And it's just stupid. The Phillies with the giant pea, so it looks like Fippies.

I just, I don't understand how that gets by. Major League Baseball. Wow, it's just incredible. So if you can get them, go ahead and get them. Because these definitely are not going to be around long. but when you see someone with their tithas hat on, just know that they're a Texas Rangers fan. Welcome.

Welcome to Chewing the Fat. You know, the other day we talked about the Facebook whistleblower, the meta whistleblower, Sarah Winn Williams, her memoir careless people, was going to hit the bookshelves. And it had recounts her six years at the company. and it was formerly known as Facebook as the director of global policy

and it contains accusations of everything from power hungry execs to rampant sexual harassment yeah former C.O. Cheryl Sandberg made an assistant by $13,000 worth of lingerie. Now I didn't read the book so I don't know

if that was for the assistant to wear for Cheryl or was that the assistant to purchase for Cheryl or if that was for the assistant to purchase? and where. I'm not really sure. Current president of global affairs, Joel Kaplan, asked when invasive, I'm sorry,

Wyn Williams, invasive questions like where she was bleeding from after complications while giving birth. I mean, it's a legitimate question. It's not? No? Okay.

The company pitched the Chinese government on implementing data collection and censorship tools so the platform could expand it to the country. Okay. Now, it's out now, and META has denied the allegations, calling the book a mix of out-of-date and previously reported claims about the company and false accusations about our executives. The company also discredited the author by saying she was fired for poor performance

and toxic behavior. When Williams says she was fired after she raised concerns about Kaplan's alleged sexual harassment okay all right no problem well uh she can't talk about it now they just uh they just had a legal ruling where meta said yeah we're not trying to take the book off the shelves but uh we don't want her to promote her new book and the judge said yeah you know what yep you're right well it was an arbitrator because it potentially broke a non disparagement agreement she had signed when she worked for the company. Okay.

So watch what you sign. Always. That's a good rule of thumb for anyone. Pay attention to what you sign. So it's still available. You can still buy it online. I'll promote it for her a little bit since she can't. Since meta, you know, shut her up.

Bastards. They, you can still buy it at Amazon Barnes & Noble and, of course, bookshop. org. The book is titled Careless People by Sarah Wynne Williams. You know, another thing, speaking of meta, I see where they revealed that their upcoming new community notes feature, which is supposed to roll out, I guess, next week, in lieu of their fact-checking people that they kick to the curb because

he's trying to bend over backwards to be okay with Donald Trump. I mean, trying to be a better platform. And it will be powered. by X's open source algorithm. So Zuck is going to use X's open source algorithm to monitor meta or Facebook. Interesting. Interesting, isn't it?

You know, another thing that's interesting is news about the Gateway Church founding pastor, Robert Morris. Now, I've met Robert. I don't pretend to know him, but I've met Robert multiple times. In fact, he was one of the first people I met when we first moved to Texas. He is the founding pastor of Gateway Church. And one of the reasons was that we met him is because we almost moved the Blaze into his original church Gateway in South Lake. That's another long story.

And I can tell you about our travels through looking for buildings for the Blaze while in Texas. But anyway, I've met Robert and I met his family and so forth. Well, it's a mega church and it's been a big deal for a long time. Well, he resigned from Gateway Church, I think last year. Yeah, I think it was last year. Following allegations that he had sexual relations in Oklahoma with a then 12-year-old girl. Okay, that was 40 years ago. Now, he had, um, he had, um, he had.

had admitted that he had been unfaithful. How did he word it? Yeah, he said in a sermon, I mean, years ago now, that he was sexually immoral when he was a young man and admitted to inappropriate sexual behavior. Okay. And the church was aware of that. Everyone was aware of that. But he was in his early 20s, and he was involved with this inappropriate sexual behavior.

with this young lady in a home where he was staying at and kissing, petting, not intercourse, according to him, but it was wrong. And this behavior happened on several occasions over the next few years. And he admitted to all that. What he failed to mention is that the girl was 12 years old. So a little bit of an issue.

And so he resigned his position and we thought that would be the end of it. Nope. Oklahoma has now indicted a former megachurch pastor Robert Morris on child sex abuse charges. Okay. So this happened 43 years ago and you think to yourself, how are we going to go ahead and charge this guy for something that happened 40 years ago? I mean, there's got to be some kind of, you know, statue of limitations.

some kind of limitation, something. Maybe. Well, they went about charging Robert with a law from the 1800s. So we had to reach back way back in the old law book pile for this law from 18, I think it was like 83. I apologize. I may have read early 1800s or late 1800s, but this story. says early 1900.

So not that long ago. Geez, I'm sorry. I apologize. Anyway, so this is an old statute. And when outlawed cowboys, you know, roamed around the old West committing crimes as they moved between states, Oklahoma and other frontier states

implemented a provision that essentially pauses or tolls the statute of limitations when someone commits a crime. and then flees the state. So they're making the case that as Morris was a traveling evangelist, who preached to crowds at churches and revivals across the Southwest when he entered this girl's life in the 80s, like the out-of-state marauders who terrorized Oklahoma towns in the early 1900s,

he did not reside in Oklahoma. And so we're going to go ahead and charge him with these charges. Okay. All right. Fine. Good luck. I would bet that if I'm Robert Morris, my attorneys can probably find a place where I stayed in Oklahoma that wasn't her house. At least I would hope so.

And then you could say that you had actually had some kind of residency in the state. You did stay there. You paid a bill or two there. And then you'll be, you know, you throw this out. But if you can't do that, whoof, good luck, God bless. At Desjardin, we speak business. We speak startup funding and comprehensive game plans.

We've mastered made-to-measure growth and expansion advice, and we can talk your ear-off about transferring your business when the time comes. Because at Desjardin business, we speak the same language you do. Business. So join the more than 400,000 Canadian entrepreneurs who already count on us, and contact Desjardin today. We'd love to talk, business. So let's say you need to set up a residency in another state for whatever reason.

Your job, your family, whatever it is, you're going to need help because you don't know what to look for. And that's where real estate agents I trust come in. Anytime you want to buy or sell a home, make a big change, it's going to be hard and you're going to need help. It's complicated. It takes a lot of time, a lot of jumping through hoops. And of course, I mean, as far as financial decisions, the stakes are pretty darn high. So that's why you need a real estate agent to help you with all of this. What you don't want is just some ordinary agent who does this on the side as, you know, between his Uber calls.

You want someone that is good. Yeah, you can quote me on that. You're going to want someone that is good. And you want a real estate agent that knows the best practices, someone who wants. understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer and good. Someone you can trust. And so if you're thinking about buying or selling a home, or maybe both, get in touch with them.

You'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Real estate agents I trust. Name does say it all, really. Real estate agents I trust.com. Go to real estate agents. I trust.com. It's free to use. Real estate agents I trust pairs you with.

the top-selling real estate agent in your area. Real estate agents I trust.com. So the FBI has issued a nationwide warning, warning, warning, about a new wave of smishing attacks. Yes, smishing. That's fraudulent messages sent via SMS, short message service, or text messaging with the intent to trick recipients into revealing personal information

such as passwords, credit card details, and other sensitive data. The term smishing. No, that's a, yeah, we got smithing. Not a warning on smithing. A warning on smishing. It's a combination. Yeah, we already went through

the whole combination thing. But it wants to manipulate you. Okay, so what happens is is you get a text message and that reads something like, Hey, dummy. Final warning. They don't say you, they don't call you dummy.

They say final warning. Unpaid tolls. Failure to pay, the $699 toll may result in further penalties. Deadline. And this particular one that I received was March 12th. I missed it. A couple days off now. Those of you listening live today is the 14th.

Oh yeah. 314, pie day. ADD kicking in. But get to get through. There's all kinds of pizza places. Have all kinds of deals. on 314 because it's pie day. I'm sure the shops that actually sell pie

and not pizza pie have deals as well. So anything with the name pie in it, I'm sure today you'll be able to get a discount. Back to the FBI warning. So it says resolved payment and it gives you a link to click. Now I've gotten so many of these in the last three months this year alone. So many of them.

And I block them. I report them as spam. And then, you know, these obviously come in from a different number. I'm assuming that they, that the, my cell company blocks them and reports them as spam. And of course it does because then we now we have a report from the FBI that, you know, they're talking about the messages following a common pattern. They also say that the increase in these scams since January, has had a four-fold increase,

which is, oh, I would make a bet that it's even more than that, really. But if you have an iPhone, the iMessage blocks suspicious links, so scammers now instruct you to copy and paste the URL into a web browser, which makes detection even harder once they get that. But it's a franchise model. It leverages toolkits from Chinese cybercriminal groups. the FTC advises that legitimate U.S. toll services and delivery companies would never redirect users to foreign domain. And I don't even know, with the link on my phone, I don't even know if I can tell that it's a foreign domain.

I was looking at the text, I guess. Yeah, it's IDU-P-L-T-D-I-D-I-D-I-P-V-I-P-S-S-S, so it's not a foreign domain. Anyway, just be careful. get these texts, don't click on the links. Do not click on the links, okay? I mean, the last time that I clicked on a link that made my phone get hacked, it was from a Facebook post, which I mean, I rarely go to Facebook, but I get alerts.

I get alerts who's posting stuff from my Jeff Fisher radio account and my regular, my personal Facebook page. And one came in and said, is this you? with a link. And I was, you know, I'm just sitting there. I haven't had my 10th cup of coffee. At that time, I haven't, I probably was still smoking then.

And that's how long ago it was. And I was just like, and it came from an account that I know the name. I know the name. They had been hacked as well. Duh. But so I was like, that split second of thinking,

is it real or not? didn't happen because it was from a person that I would may get a message from. I was like, I don't know. And I clicked on it. As soon as I clicked on it, everything went black. And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, I take my click back. I take my click back. I take it back.

And it didn't work. It didn't work. So it doesn't do that even with voice command on your phone. I don't know if you know that or not, but once you click on something? Yeah. No, no, no. No, I didn't click. Take it back, take it back.

It doesn't. Doesn't work. So be careful. Look out for the smishing attacks. All right. Before we go to the break room, follow me on my social media at Jeffrey JFR on X.

Thank you very much for, well, thank you for those that are submitting your jokes for the day.

Thank you to those who are saying, Hey, I want to be a contestant on what's the lie. Thank you to those who are commenting, sending stories that I may or may not like. And thank you to the people who send nice comments. Those of you that are sending mean comments, I'm not thanking you, okay? No, no, you know who you are.

Anyway, so chewing the fat at the blaze.com. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Remember the girl that sang the national anthem that was so bad and she was drunk? It was at the home run derby here in DFW in Arlington. And her reddish of the old star-spangled banner was, well, it was pretty bad. It was pretty bad. Now, she admitted she didn't remember what happened when she performed the national anthem

and that she was drunk at a major league baseball event. And so you don't remember? This is her. Who brought stripes and bright stars through the pair of this fight. Not bad. Turn to fade. A little wobbly. Come on, come on.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ingrid, thank you. Tremendous job, Ingrid andress. Well, she, you know, she apologized, of course. She went into rehab. And she said, she posted, hey, I'm not going to bull, you know.

I was drunk last night. I'm checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. That was not me last night. Well, actually, it was. And I apologize to MLB, all the fans and this country. I love so much for that rendition. I'll let y'all know how rehab is. I hear it's super fun.

Ah, that's funny. So she appeared on a podcast called the Vile Files, the V-I-A-L-L-Files podcast. and explain how devastating the experience was for her and how it helped reveal she has a problem. Uh-huh. She did say that she had already been drinking for days before the performance. No kidding.

I bet there were some other substances put in her body as well. But that's just me. I'm not accusing her of anything. Not accusing her of anything. She said I was effed up afterwards. And I thought I kind of nailed it. So I called a friend, and it wasn't until the next day that I realized that it was a big mistake. And so she checked herself into rehab and the world, you know, was making fun of her, as we just did again for that performance.

Because it was just so darn good. Well, now she says that this global humiliation for me is, is a problem. She explained that I'm fine with being America's punching bag because for one moment everybody was united in the fact that I was awful. So I feel like America, you're welcome. And I say to that, think about it. Absolutely, Ingrid. I'm with you 100%. Although, I mean, it would be nice if you said it on this particular podcast instead of some The Viles podcast, but whatever. Jeff, did you reach out to Ingrid? talk to her? No, no, I did not.

So it's not a surprise that she's not on this show. But I'm with you, Ingrid, 100%. America, you're welcome for being together for hating Ingrid so much, the punching bag. She's got a good point.

Well, it's a point. All right, so this weekend I've got some watching, some movie watching to do, and I'm not quite sure. I mean, there's obviously 1923 to watch, and I got a little new reacher to watch. And in 1923, has been great. Reacher has been

well, okay. I don't want to talk about Ritcher right now. What I want to talk about is there's two movies coming up on Netflix. One is called Electric State, which we've talked about before. They spent $320

million on this movie. And this review of Electric State I will say it is not good at all. This review Netflix spent $320 million on a movie you'll hate.

And it just rips the movie apart for the entire review. It's awesome. It's awesome how much this guy hated this movie. But then you go to another reviewer on the new show on Netflix that claims it is the best

crime-thiller show he's seen in years on Netflix. And so I started watching it last night and it looks pretty good. I didn't make it through the first episode because well, I had other things come up and I was in the middle of it. And I said, okay, I'm not going to, I'm going to stop it because I'll just watch it again this weekend.

It's called Adolescence. And it's, you know, obviously about murder and it's in the, it's in Europe. And I think it's in the UK specifically. But I'm all about that. I'm all about detective murder shows from the Eastern Block and from the UK. That's fine. I'm all in. So adolescent.

So I'll let you know exactly if this guy was right, because he was saying that it's, the best crime thriller show that he's watched in years. Okay. I mean, we'll see if it's the best, but there's been a lot of good crime thrillers. But I don't know that I'll be able to make it through Electric State. Has it come out this weekend? I think it does. Yeah, it's up now.

So, we'll see. You know, the directors, Anthony and Joe Russo, I mean, they, you know, Avengers, and they've got more big money. movies that they're coming down the pike after this one. So this may have been just a, we're going to spend Netflix money and have fun and make something horrible. Why not? Right?

Why not? Let's take $320 million and just blow it. Netflix, I will make a movie as good or better than Electric State for $30 million. Just, what you could do is email me towing the fat of the blaze.com and I'll give you my, well, no, you could just, you could just PayPal me. actually. What's my PayPal account again? PayPal I think it's Jeffie.

What is my PayPal? Yeah, Jeffie CTF, at JeffeyCTF at PayPal. You want to send me some money and you want to give me a down payment on the movie? You know, a million just to let me know that is there. Just transfer it, no problem into my PayPal account. Jeffie CTF is my PayPal. Oh my gosh, don't tell. No, you can put money into it too.

Anyone can. It doesn't matter. Anyone wants to transfer money to my digital PayPal account. Go ahead at Jeffey's CTF. I'm all for it. Now, preferably Netflix does that with $10 million. But you, if you got $10 million laying around, you want to give it to me, I'm not turning it down.

So, you know, whatever you could do. You do you. you do you yeah well that'd be nice Jeffie CTF is the PayPal account so you see where speaking of someone that doesn't need a PayPal account

probably has one Tiger Woods Apparently there's breaking news now that he is dating Vanessa Trump What? Tiger? I know I know I know I know Chris is going to send Chris down to Florida. I may have to just go there myself to report on this.

So apparently they're an item. It's not too serious now. But according to reports, it's heading in that direction. They have a lot in common. They've gotten used to the public scrutiny. They both know how to keep their private, life private. They're both parents. So Tiger is 49 and she's 47.

She's getting a little long in the tooth for Tiger. Anyway, I mean, 47. for tiger. Woof. Come on now. But I guess they've, they're pretty happy together. Now,

she's the mother of Kai Trump, right? The golfer, the teenage golfer that we saw at the convention and we've seen her golfing with her granddad, Donald Trump,

you know, the president. So she's her mom, right? So that's junior's ex-wife. and I'm not saying that Tiger is, you know, dating mom to get to the daughter, because that would be wrong. It would be completely wrong.

But if someone were to feel that way, business, I can understand, I could use my own line against me. I can see that happening. That would be, I would not be surprised. I would not be surprised To see Tiger Nah he won't

Because it's the same age as his daughter probably And it's just It would be That's a little much Tiger does That's a little much Even for Tiger But

I'm just saying When it happens You heard it here first That he went through mom To get to the daughter Nah That's not gonna happen Not when

Grandpa's Donald Trump The President That's not gonna happen at all 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. Let's talk a second about emergency preparedness. We live in a world that is constantly changing in ways we don't see coming.

But one thing that will always remain the same is the need to be ready now. And some emergency preparedness vitals include emergency contacts, a plan for evaluation routes, evacuation routes, evacuation routes, meeting places, getaway bag with important documents, flashlights, batteries,

non-perishable food. And of course, you really should consider having a Jace case as part of that equipment as well. Yeah, medication is important. I can't recommend the Jace case highly enough if you're the type of person who wants to be prepared with disaster strikes,

or even if you're the type of person that says, oh, I don't think I should be really prepared, but I probably need my medicine. Yeah, yeah, you should. And that's where you're going to want one of these Jace cases in your home. It's a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics and medications

that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections. It provides five lifesaving antibiotics for emergency use. They even have Ivermectin as an adon if you want. The Jace case. Go to Jace.com, and you can enter. their giveaway or to just purchase your Jace case.

A columnist, best-selling author of sports books. He was one of the notable sports writers of his time passed away at the age of 69. He was a regular sports columnist for the Post through the 70s and he covered all kinds of sporting

events and it said here that he died of natural causes. Okay. Sure. You got it. John Feinstein rest in peace, dead at the age of 69.

Then we have have Stedman Pearson. Stedman Pearson. Don't look at me like that. You know Stedman Pearson. He's the eldest of the family quintet band five star.

Right? Come on now. Yeah, the band five star. He's the oldest. He has died at the age of 60. Wow. So they had big,

they were inspired by the Jackson 5. Found fame in the 80s with the hit singles rain or shine system addict let me be the one so rest of peace

it's now the four star oh no see that's just that's just wrong he's the oldest of the five star band dead at the age of 60 apparently he was been on dialysis so I know very sad

I don't necessarily wish that on anyone rest in peace to Stedman Pearson, the eldest family quintet band member of five-star dead, the age of 60. Then we have Arizona Democrat

Republican. Another Congressman kicks over. Trump, man, he is wiping him out. They can't even stay alive anymore. What is happening? It's the second one, and both Democrats, both old? Wow. Arizona Democrat

Congressman Raul Grisdalva Raul G-R-I-J-A-L-V-A G-R-I-L-V-A Grijalva That's what I said Arima, Ar-I-R-R-E-A

No, that's not his last name. It's Raul Grijalva. Right. It's not Arriva, Ariria. Yeah, it's not that. Anyway, he has passed away due to complications from lung cancer.

so I don't want to wish lung cancer on anyone either Raul Grijalva Arriva Nope age 77 dead Then we have Doug Kiker Doug Kiker

K-I don't stop K-I-K-E-R He was the American Idol contestant Known as the Singing Garbage Band I know That's what he's known as The Sinking Garbage Man, dead at the age of 32. Now, it doesn't say what he died of.

But at the age of 32, it's either going to be an overdose or a suicide, right? It's not, can't be anything else, Jeff. That's right. It can't be. It's not possible. And plus, all the people that were writing about them were, you know, obviously, I mean, people write good things about you when you die. At least you hope they do.

But they always talk about these all talked about, we lost an amazing person. He had the biggest smile. He knew how to make you laugh. It just seems like it may have been, well, it was either, you can quote me on this. It was either an overdose or a suicide. So rest in peace, could have been anything else.

Couldn't have been a car crash. Could have been a refrigerator falling from the sky on him. Nothing. Could have been anything else, but an overdose. or a suicide. Doug Kiker, rest in peace, dead at the age of 32. And since we, you know, started off with baseball, we may as well end with baseball before we get to what's the lie.

We have a contestant coming up who I want to talk to about. He has an experience with his daughter that is amazing. He told me the story about what's going on. And we'll talk about it. She's in the military. She's traveling across country. And I couldn't believe that this was actually true. but it is.

But we're going to end that. First I'll tell you about the Tampa Bay Rays have decided they were going to move. They were, the city was going to remodel Tropicana Field ever got destroyed by the storm. The Rays are going to play in the Yankee Stadium in Tampa, which is their semi-minor league team. And it's a nice stadium, but it only holds, I don't know.

12,000 maybe? I'm not sure what, how much that stadium hold. that's the stadium I wanted to use for my world record of the world record of a number of people sitting on a whoopee cushion wanted to use that at that stadium anyway that would be my world record anyway that's another story that's a whole other story but they have now and then they were going to build them a new stadium

in this area that they're calling the gaslight section right that's what they're calling it that's what they call it which I had never heard before I live in St. Petersburg forever and I never heard. heard about this gas light. I worked in that neck of the woods, in fact. Never heard it called that, but apparently it is. But is it gas light?

Okay, so it's gas plant district. It's not gas light or gas port or what I say it was? The gas plant district. I never heard that before. Never. And I worked in downtown, downtown St. Petersburg, across from Tropicana Field for a long time. I watched Tropicana Field getting built.

And I was there before there was even a baseball team there. Anyway, I never heard that whole area down there by the, by where Al Langfield is and all the, watch baseball games at Al Lang, all that. I've never heard it called the gas plant district. Anyway, anyway, the raise were supposed to get a new stadium built down there. It's going to be a dome stadium.

It was going to be cool. Except they nixed the deal. They had it until the end of March and they decided, you know what? We're not going to do it. that. The city's going to rebuild Tropa, Tropicana, and yeah, we're good.

We're not going to go, what? So now Major League Baseball is, you know, looking for the owner. They're saying that he's going to have to sell the team. They don't know if they're going to move to Tampa. Tampa is still trying to get the team to move from St. Pete to Tampa. I would say this was probably,

I'm not sure what the arrangement was, but it's very strange to me that they pulled out of this deal to have the stadium in the historic gas plant district of St. Petersburg. I just, it's weird, but they're out of the deal. So, you know, who knows what's going to happen. And St. Petersburg, I liked Tropicana Field.

The world hated it. But I didn't mind it at all. And, you know, again, it's just me. Would I have enjoyed the stadium in the gas plant district? I don't know. But we'll see. The city is like, yeah, we're still going to do something. but we'll still make it happen.

Okay, good luck, God bless. Take a look at these new hats, huh? Can't wait for the one with the gas plant district logo on it.

I wanted, and our contestant Michael Glass today, I wanted to talk to Michael separately because he sent me an email talking about his daughter, who is in the military, and she is traveling across country right now. And it's amazing to me that, I mean, she's traveling all the way across the country, like, you know, from one end of the country to the other.

and she's not 21 years old, she's in the military, and she's having a tough time finding a hotel room because hotels won't rent to her. Is that right, Michael? Not unless you're 21. Unbelievable. So even if, I mean, with the military ID, all of it, it makes no difference.

Military ID, active orders, NATO orders, a government credit card, that she is currently using today to go from Bellingham, Washington to Juneau, Alaska, they'll let her book a ferry for her and her Jeep, but Holiday Inn won't give her a room. Wow. That is, I did not believe that that it was the case. First of all, really, I don't know why I thought, you know, if you were an adult 18 and had cash money, or a credit card, you should be able to stay at a hotel, period.

Now, that having been said, all right, so you say, okay, you have to be 21. All right, you're a private company, your private business, you've got it, you have to be 21. There has to be a carve-out for military members, right?

I mean, these people are serving this country, and if they're not 21, they damn well should be treated like it. That's ridiculous. At least if you're traveling under active military orders. I mean, this girl's 19 years old and just spent the last year in Korea. Yeah. I think she's responsible enough to get a hotel room for a night. I would think so. She did find on the bright side, you know, there's awesome people from Missouri,

Kansas City, Missouri. There was a comfort in, and a lady said, hey, we will make this work. If I have to do something I'm not supposed to, you will stay here tonight. Okay, but that's still, that's not the company, right? The company's orders are, if you're under 21, you don't, you aren't able to rent a room. So this lady is kind enough and realizes that has some common sense and realizes, oh, my gosh, this is someone in the military and she's traveling across country. She gets to get a room. That's just the way it is.

And that's good. The other places are just like, nope, can't do it. Yeah, and we all know what a big supporter you are of truckers. And my daughter now has found that loves truck stops are the best place to sleep in the back of your Jeep. There you go, baby. No one supports truckers more than me. And I love truckers.

And I personally have slept at truck stops before. You can write your own jokes. Don't worry about it. But no kidding. I'm glad. I'm glad that she, you know, she traveled across country safely. That's ridiculous. Yeah.

And, you know, she's not your average 19-year-old girl being in security forces and doing what she does. She loads out with 800 rounds of ammo. understand. Understand. I mean, I'm sure. She should be able to sleep in a hotel and take a shower. Absolutely, 100%. I mean, I know I'm concerned about her safety.

I should be concerned about someone's safety trying to do anything to her. But, you know, really, the whole thing is it's unbelievable to me that we are not allowing our military who are under 21 to be able to get a hotel room. and you're using even the carve out of active duty, you know, having orders that she's traveling on these orders. I'm saying, hey, if you're in the military and you're under 21, you should be able to get a hotel room, period. I joined when I was 17. She's fourth generation in our family, so yeah, she should get a hotel room.

Yeah, absolutely. That's completely unacceptable. Any hotel chains that do not allow that to happen. That's a disgrace. and there should be absolutely something done. No question about it. That's why we call chewing the fat, because we know if anyone has the power to get something done,

it's Jeffie with chewing the fat. I love you. So it must be time to play What's the Lie then? I mean, you buttered me up nice. We might as well get to What's the Lie. So, I mean, it's time. Hoping you make it easy on me, Jeff. For what's being called America's favorite game show, What's the Lie?
