Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Those of you who have become accustomed to getting Walmart deliveries to your home from drones in Phoenix, Salt Lake City, and Tampa, you're going to have to dry your eyes because they are pulling the plug on that. I know. Very sad. Now, they're pulling the plug on that so that they can up their drone delivery in the Dallas Fort Worth. area, which makes me very happy because I am just outside of their drone delivery service. So I'm hoping that this puts me in their drone delivery service.

I'll let you know how it is. Now, those three cities were the big rollout in 2022, but now no more. So 70 employees, about 17% of drone ups staff are losing jobs in those cities. and the reduction will cut drone-ups delivery service to 15 Walmart locations, 11 in Dallas, three near Walmart's Bentonville, Arkansas headquarters, and one in Virginia Beach, where Drone Up is based. Drone-up CEO Tom Walker said that Phoenix, Salt Lake City, and Tampa provided valuable lessons about consumer demand, but were way too small to be sustainable.

So what they're really focusing on now is automation, and a drone with a higher payload capacity and longer range. Wow. So earlier this year, they drone up, which is partially owned by Walmart, big surprise, unveiled a proprietary autonomous drone ecosystem that Walker says will revolutionize last-mile logistics. Okay, well, I mean, that's what the issue is. And it also includes automated climate-controlled storage locker, where drones can pick up and drop off packages and automatically recharge their batteries between

deliveries. They fly autonomously monitored by a human operator in a central operation center. Yeah, that's my deal here. They've got them fenced in and they have the drone operators with their tablets, but I guess that that's, you know, they automate it to the address and then off they go. So I guess they're looking to widen their delivery range to 60 miles. Okay. Or no, to a 30 mile range with the drone traveling 60 miles an hour.

Wow, that's fast. And they can lift up to 10 pounds and store them safely inside its belly. Now, according to drone up, it costs the company about $30 to deliver a package by drone. Wow. That's expensive. The goal is to get the company,

cost below $7, which is close to ground-based delivery. And, of course, they want it to be much faster. So, okay, that's awesome. I thought that Dallas had the wing and zip line drones, but I guess drone up is going to, is already here or they're moving in and getting rid of the Salt Lake City, Tampa, and Phoenix locations. So if you're in those locations, sorry about it. Welcome.

Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Those of you listening live today, it is the 20th of August, 2024, and that makes it it National Radio Day. And you're thinking, I'm listening to a podcast, I know, but I've been in radio for so long. We've got to celebrate National Radio Day, right? I mean, radio is an amazing thing. And I know that they keep telling. me radio is dead, but

I don't believe it. And I know that, I guess it's vintage now, but I'm a huge fan of radio. And according, I know we're supposed to attribute the invention to Marconi in the 1890s,

but I guess Nikola Tesla was the first to demonstrate radio in 1893. Nonetheless, the process spent decades and many scientists making small but significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic

induction electric induction and radio waves so happy national radio day it's always nice when uh i fill in uh with pat on or with stew on the glen beck radio program because it's good to be back on radio you're still yapping the same yap and we're wrapping here on the blaze podcast network on the blaze television and radio network. Now, Blaze Radio is really an internet stream, so it's not technically radio, but we pretend that it is. And so it's always good to know that when you're doing Glenn Beck, a radio program, it actually is on the radio, on top of podcasts. And we get our information and audio information from so many places. Thank you for making this chewing the fat one of

the places that you get your information. I appreciate it. I was looking at the timeline of a radio. You know, they say, you know, obviously 1892, Tesla comes up with the early design, and Marconi, you know, created it, I don't know, in 1890 or whenever the heck he did it. Then in 1933, radio enables the fireside chats, right? President Roosevelt holds a radio fireside chats. That's when we had the big radios in the house. I mean, everyone had their radio in their home or in their business.

And then in 1938, you had Orson Wells. broadcast the War of the Worlds, which everyone thought that we were being attacked by aliens. And then in 1939, FM radio makes its first appearance. And then in 1995, Radio Online, the first online radio station, Radio HK, is born. Although it doesn't say, what really is, I mean, what was amazing to me is that I think what made radio huge, and obviously it was huge in the, the, you know, in the 30s, I gotcha. But was when they put it in the automobile.

I mean, Henry Ford put it in the Model A in the 1930s. And then, then I think another car, shoot, there was another car that had a radio in it as well with an FM in it in the, in 1952. But until then, it was just AM radios. And they were made by Motorola. Baby Motorola was the mothership of race. Anyways, all right, I'm done. Happy National Radio Day. Last week we talked about the lady in Chicago who stole the $1.5 million worth of chicken wings,

and she got sentenced to jail. And they never admitted what she did with the chicken wings. They just admitted that she was taking them from the school cafeteria program. The kids were still getting their food. She was just ordering extra. and then, I guess, using it for herself somewhere. Well, NFL football star Chris Jones saw the story, and he offered to pay a million dollars of his own money

to free the local cafeteria worker from prison. And I guess he had people contact the attorney and say, hey, Chris is serious. He wants to, you know, he wants to pay the million dollars and let's get this lady free. I think Chris realizes. that this lady was not stealing the wings just to, I don't know, feed her family and friends.

She was stealing them to make some money. Believe people call it a criminal enterprise. But I'm just saying that I believe that she had to have been selling it back to the city or some business affiliated with the city or some business that gives the city government kickbacks, because we never found out what she did with the wings. That was all didn't matter. We just know that she stole them.

We found out she stole them. She admitted to it. And now she's going to jail. But we never know what she did with the wings. And to me, that's an important part of the story. Maybe I guess I'm the only one that cares about that. I know I'm not the only one that cares about getting the most money when you sell your house or getting the best deal when you buy a house. That is important.

I am not the only one.

Features a dark brown ribbon and a leather sweat band

imprinted with the Herbert Johnson Hat Company, name and address, as well as a tag marked size 7 and a quarter, size 59 European. The sweatband is notably stamped with the initials IJ in gold, a feature applied specifically to the hats Herbert Johnson made for the three original installments of the Indiana Jones saga. It also features some makeup residue at the front of the sweatband, and it is consistent with, all the other Fatoros, especially this one coming from the Temple of Doom of Fatoros, and it just sold for $630,000. I love the look. I love the hat, but for $630,000, no, thank you. I know Harrison Ford or Indiana Jones wore the hat.

That's great. And I'm happy to look at it if you have it somewhere. But, you know, I'm not paying $600 grand for it. Now, it's slightly tweaked the design. The one that he wore in Raiders of the Lost Ark is a little different. So I'm not sure. They didn't say if the Raiders hat actually sold, because this is Temple of Doom.

Oh, yeah, there we go. Yeah, the Raiders hat actually sold, I don't know, six years ago, for half a million dollars. So this one got more than that with inflation, though. half a million in 2018 was worth way more than 630,000 today. Right? Right. Oh, and speaking of auctions, we talked a while ago that Babe Ruth's jersey, the number

three, road gray jersey that he wore when he called the shot was going to come up for auction. Well, it has now coming up for auction this weekend. And this weekend, they're hoping to get, I don't know, $30 million for this thing. They've already, the auction hasn't even officially started. It starts on the 23rd, right, Friday, then goes through the weekend. And they've already had bids up to $14 million. So this is awesome.

I would love to have this. I love the story of Babe Ruth and his shot call. You know, I mean, that's baseball lore, and people have pulled it off, you know, differing ways throughout the years. And it actually happened. So, I mean, it's amazing. His Babe Ruth, I mean, hello, he had 22 years in the major league, 714 home runs, seven world series title. He was a pitcher in an outfielder. And, you know, he was played with the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox.

And he became one of the. five inaugural members elected to the baseball Hall of Fame. And the story of the shot is awesome. We talked, I know we talked about Babe talking about the shot in a book that he wrote, but there's also footage, old footage, of it actually happening. You just can't make out that he's pointing to center field. They're trying to claim that he was pointing, you know, over here or not, you know, at the bench at the pitcher, whatever.

You can't make that out. Amazingly, a film back then wasn't like it is today. And then there was a radio interview with Lou Gehrig. I have not heard this interview, but I've heard of it being reported. I'm sure you can, you know, listen to it at the Baseball Hall of Fame, where Garrig talks about the shot and that it actually happened and back off. And the other cool thing about the story is that Bay, hit the home run. He called a shot, and he called it multiple times, I think two or three times, before he got the pitch he wanted. And then the next at-bat, Lou Gehrig gets up and hits a home run.

The Yankees won the game 7 to 5, and then the next game they defeated the Cubs 13 to 6, completing a four-game sweep of the World Series. So that pitcher, what's his face, Root, Did not have a good day after that. I mean, Roosevelt was at the game. There was, they talk about how United States Supreme Court, John Paul Stevens, was there as a 12-year-old boy. It was just amazing.

I love the whole story surrounding Babe Ruth's shot. So you could get the jersey at the ice goes on auction this weekend. And, well, the bidding, they already started the bidding. They've already got 14 million. on call. So when it opens up on Friday, it'll probably go for more than that. I think you can quote me on that. It will probably go for

more than that. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So, the accolite, Star Wars, Disney Plus series, Lucas Films, they have decided

that it's not going to return for season two. Wait, What? I know it was supposed to be so great, so woke, so wonderful. The most, the gayest characters of all time. Yeah, we're not going to do season two. But it was the rise of the Sith, roughly 100 years before the events of Star Wars, the Phantom Menace. Yeah.

And apparently, the news comes as a shock, given how much season one finale ended on a cliffhanger and teased several plot lines for a season two. So? no one was watching okay I love how they put it in the story the less than a robust viewership yeah nobody was watching okay so you're not going to get a season two

have a nice day now there's there's some new Star Wars stuff coming out they have the skeleton crew which debuts December 3rd. That's a new Disney Plus debut and could

scarcely be more different from the acolyte. No, the cast is made up of children and an approach akin to the ambient-style Kid Venture Tales of the 1980s. Okay. The second and final season of Andor and there's

going to be a political drama starring. See, that's in 2025, Andor. And then the second season of Ashka, Asaka, is in development. So they still haven't decided on a second season of that either. So keep waiting. Keep waiting.

But you're not going to receive season two of the accolades. So sorry about it. So HBO just stopped filming or finished filming. They didn't stop. They finished filming, the last of us. And according to this, the actress who plays, Abby on the show, you know, the series, The Last of Us, had additional security during the filming due to the toxicity surrounding her character. HBO believed there could be an increased risk due to the toxicity, if I could say the word properly.

Some members of the Last of Us community had expressed hatred for the character. and harassed and sent death threats to Laura Bailey who played Abby in the video game. There's so many strange people in this world because there are people that actually genuinely hate Abby who is not a real person. Just a reminder, not a real person. Yeah, we know.

Is someone actually going to do something? I guess, I mean, it's better to be safe than sorry, right? But The Last of Us, Part 2, Abby plays a big role. and so she seeks vengeance. And so it should be good. I am looking forward to it. The first season was really, really good. So we'll see what happens.

But they up the security for Caitlin and now up yours, I guess. You know, it's been an anniversary for Shark Tank as well. 15 years. 15 years, that stupid Shark Tank show has been on. No, I have not seen every episode. I have been, I mean, multiple seasons I haven't seen. but for sure we've all seen some Shark Tank episodes, right? 15 years, that show has been on.

Incredible. Congratulations. There's been a total of 339 episodes at the end of season 15. Over 30 companies featured on the show have gone on to generate over a million dollars in annual revenue. 60% of the deals made actually close after filming because, of further due diligence. Okay. As of 2024,

the sharks have invested over $135 million combined in businesses on the show. And that still doesn't change the fact that Mark Cuban is, well, how do I put this politely? A douche. The sphere in Las Vegas, I guess, wants to align itself with original content. That's what they want to focus on

because I guess it's more profitable than content. concerts. Okay. So they have cut a deal with James Dolan and they're planning an $80 million investment to transform the classic 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz, into a cutting edge immersive experience at the Las Vegas sphere. Now, the deal is with Warner Brothers Discovery and so I don't know how much the sphere is putting in, how much Dolan is putting in or if Dolan is doing the deal through Warner Brothers Discovery. There was no, I didn't see any break. of who was spending what. But it's going to be an 80-minute digitally enhanced version of the film, leveraging the sphere's advanced visuals and, you know, haptic seating, and then you'd be able to redefine how audiences experience classic films with plans to expand similar experiences to international locations like South Korea. Now, they still have, now we've got the sphere, and everybody wants to be part of the sphere,

and I get it, and it's kind of a cool idea. I'm sure there's plenty of other, you know, old movies that, I'm sorry, classic movies, that they can, you know, work out some kind of immersive experience with the sphere. Why have we not done an Elvis Presley immersive experience at the sphere? What are we doing? Hello, the King, Mr. Vegas, Las Vegas, the man who built that city. It wasn't Frank Sinatra. Sure it was, you know, the mobsters, but Elvis played a big role in that.

We played there, I don't know, every night for a thousand years. So why do we not have an immersive Elvis Presley, the king, at the sphere? Now, they're still building the moon. I think the moon is still coming, right? In 2025 or 26 or whenever the hell they're supposed to build that stupid thing, that's where Elton John needs to come back from retirement and do a rocket man concert, grand opening of the moon in Vegas. But here, this needs to be Elvis Presley.

at the sphere. I mean, it's just an idea. Silla. Hello, my name is Jeff Fisher. You can email me, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. Anytime we can work out something, some arrangement. No problem. I'm happy to help you out with the whole thing. You know what?

You can direct message me on Axe at Jeffey, JFR. Or you know what? You can message me on Facebook or Instagram. Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook or Instagram. We could message each other there. And, you know, we can work together to make a full immersive experience of the king at the sphere. I'm here for you.

I'm here for you. No problem. And you know, you can also, I see, you know, they, we talked about, I talked about this on, on Pat's show. I don't know that I talked about it here. They arrested the woman who tried to steal Grace Land, you know, through her, uh, false dealings with male fraud and aggravated identity theft. And she tried to steal Graceland.

Don't be messing with Graceland. don't be messing with the king. You're talking about U.S. royalty. Okay, you can't be messing with that. So they've arrested this lady from Missouri. Lisa Janine Finley of Kimberling City, Missouri. Love Kimberling City, Missouri this time of year. And so she has fabricated false documents.

She suggested the singer's late daughter, which we all knew Lisa Murray Presley pledged to sell the Memphis property to repay debts, which there were no debts. it was all a ruse. So she could face a mandatory minimum of two years in prison for aggravated identity theft, as well as the maximum of 20 years in prison for mail fraud. So whatever she gets, she is well deserved for trying to think that she could take over

Graceland and the U.S. royalty. No, that cannot happen. Now, back to the sphere. That needs to happen. Silla, I know you're getting a little, you know, you're getting a little up and age and, you know, you've got other things on your mind. But maybe hand over the reins a little bit to the granddaughter and let her start running some things. And then Riley, maybe you reach out to me yourself and we can work this out and make this happen.

The immersive experience with the king at the sphere. 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 leather handbags. designer. Handpicked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup palettes from the brands you love.

Brushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals, we get the deals. You gift the good stuff. Under the heading, best obituary I've ever read. I find this obituary.

I don't even know if it's real, but I just love it because it's so, truthful. Even if it's not real, it's real enough to make me smile. So Kathleen Demlo, D-E-H-M-L-O-W. Kathleen Demlo Skunk, in parentheses, was born on March 19, 1938 to Joseph and Gertrude Skunk of Wabasso. She married Dennis Demlo at St. Anne's in Wabasso in 1957 and had two children. Gina and Jay. In 1962, she became pregnant by her husband's brother, Lyle Demlo, and then moved to California. She abandoned her children, Gina and Jay, who were then raised by her parents in Clements, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Skunk.

She passed away on May 31, 2018, in Springfield, and will now face judgment. She will not be missed by Gina and Jay, and they understand that this world, is a better place without her. So there's an addendum to the story that says we didn't have so much as a card from her. She came home twice, and on one occasion she was showing pictures of her kids playing cards. And Gina and Jay were standing there, and they were like they didn't even exist. So they said, given the chance again, they would publish the same obituary. I also have a question.

happened to Dennis, the dad? Was he so devastated that she, you know, had an affair with his brother and got pregnant that he just left the two kids too? I mean, it wasn't all her fault, right? I mean, if the kids went to be raised by the grandparents, then some of that goes on to the dad, Dennis, as well, right? That's what makes me think this. I have too many questions, and I shouldn't be bogging this story down with facts.

Just know that it's the best obituary I've ever read. And by gosh, it's funny, isn't it? And how some people just should be treated. I know we're supposed to treat all humans. You know, we're not supposed to judge them. We're supposed to respect the dead. But it does seem that from time to time, something like this is warranted. And maybe that's why it's not real.

because, you know, you just, you wouldn't do this, right? You just wouldn't. So the American Academy of Pediatrics, you know them, you love them, AAP. They released a report that suggests doctors might be too quick to turn to surgery when treating tongue tie in infants struggling with breastfeeding. Now, if we just stop there for a moment and back up and just say that we should. just release, doctors might be too quick to turn to surgery, period. But they went on to talk about treating tongue tie in infants struggling with breastfeeding. It's a condition that happens when there is a tight or short piece of tissue that ties an infant's tongue to the bottom of their mouth.

Dentists are increasingly using medical lasers to cut the tissue, which can cost $800 or more. experts estimate that estimate that more than 100,000 infants may undergo these surgeries each year, though there's no precise count. The AAP, the American Academy of Pediatrics, like I said,

you know them, you love them, report cites a study showing that fewer than half of the children diagnosed with tongue tie have breastfeeding difficulties. So these early breastfeeding days can be challenging for a number of reasons, like latching

pain or sore breasts. The Academy Rupori encourages pediatricians to look into non-surgical options first and recommends parents work with lactation specialists or feeding therapists to find less invasive methods. Still, that's not a luxury everyone can afford or that insurance policies always cover. Some

advocates suggest that the tongue-tie release surgeries help with future problems like sleep apnea and speech delays. So if you, know if you or someone you love has a tongue tie

you might want to just cut that thing out and be done with it. But don't go to the AAP because they're now starting to second guess themselves and they may try to work out some other way before they cut that

thing out. And I know I stay away from political stories, but these two stories I kind of want to talk about here on chewing the fast. because this particular story is out of Cheyenne, that'd be Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States of America. One of six candidates on the ballot for mayor has pledged to let an AI chatbot run the city government. Oh, so it's a first for a U.S. political campaign.

The candidate, librarian Victor Miller, built a customized chat gpt bot called Vic, virtual integrated citizen. I think we talked about this guy, which he argues would make more data-driven, unbiased decisions than any human as leader of Cheyenne. So we'll see how Vic performs tonight in the election. It would be awesome if Cheyenne votes in the customized chat GPT bot, Vic, as mayor of the beautiful swing in town. of Cheyenne Wyoming. Then we have a former U.S. representative,

George Santos, who's, you know, been pretty big on, on cameo. I don't know that he's just, I mean, you can order a cameo from me at to Jeffey JFR on the cameo app. And I think George was charging a lot more than what I charge on cameo. But you can still order a cameo for me. It's not free, obviously. But you, you know, that's the way it works.

You go to Cameo at Jeffrey JFR on Cameo. You order the cameo. me what you need and I'm a trained monkey and I sing and dance the way you want me to do it. And George was making some money on that. Well, he needs a lot more because he pled guilty yesterday to two charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity

theft after being indicted on 23 federal felony counts. The plea deal allows Santos to avoid a September trial but it also means that he's going to face at least six years in prison. He owes at least 370,000.

in restitution, $205,000 in forfeiture. Wow. He's going to be sentenced February. So he's out of jail until February 7th of 2025. And then by that time, hopefully he'll have raised enough money on cameo to pay off his dad's.

Good luck, George. Good luck. He actually is the sixth house member. It's a little fun fact. The sixth, how to member to be expelled in U.S. history and the first to be removed without being convicted of a crime or supporting the Confederacy. So there you go. That scandal did not do George Santos any favors. It began in his first term in 2022 when he allegedly embellished his background, including his

college degree and Wall Street career. And so they voted out him in Congress, and he's gone. And like I said, he does hold the record for being the first to be removed without being convicted of a crime or supporting the Confederacy. So good for you, George. Good for you.

You know what's better than the one big thing? Two big things. Exactly. The new iPhone 17 Pro on Tullus' five-year rape plan price lock. Yep, it's the most powerful iPhone ever, plus more peace of mind with your bill over five years. This is big.

Get the new iPhone 17 Pro at tellus.com slash iPhone 17 Pro on select plans. Conditions and exclusions apply. Okay, this should be illegal. We've talked about this before where they put up a picture of something on an ad and you click on it. But when you click, get to the story, it has nothing. There's nothing about the picture that ties into the story. So I see a picture and it says, we finally know what the little ring is for at the bottom. of a soda bottle.

You know how you, when you open the bottle or water and it has the little ring at the bottom? And I obviously, I know that that's, you know, the safety seal. Make sure that no one has opened it before you. I got it. And some companies, you know, have the recycled and a real pain in the neck. But I was wondering that if it was worth something else as well. Does it mean that can I use it for something else? So I click on the story, which was just dumb.

I should not have done that. But I did. It opened up to a story that says surprising features on common things we never knew about. And I scrolled. And I scrolled, and I scrolled, and I scrolled. And sure, I learned how to clean a blender. Instead of scrubbing it, all I have to do is throw in some water and just so blend it up until it's clean. They just have to pour out the water and rinse it.

And you'll save so much time in the blender. Who didn't know that? Okay? Just raise your hand. if he didn't know that. And staplers have more than one function. Wait, they do? Yes, they do.

The most common setting bends the staple back into itself so the paper stay together tightly. However, you can turn the metal plate and make the staple bend outward so you can easily remove it from the document. Uh, really? Yes, you can. Uh, the snow spill milk trick.

And it goes on and on, on. You know what isn't in this story? anything to do with the ring on the soda top. It's just so maddening. And sure, am I happy to know if I have an orange and it's messy, right? You know how oranges are. What you do is you cut the top off, you cut the top and the bottom of the peel, then cut it side, and it should unroll.

into a clean line of orange segments. And that way you don't have to struggle, and that's the way to do it. We remember the days of struggling with, you know, tangerines at the school. But if you send your kids to school with their orange or the tangerine, or you get an orange or a tangerine, cut off the top and bottom of the peel,

and then cut its side, and it should just unroll into a clean line of orange segments. Sure, did I want to know that? Are you okay? I didn't, I do, how about heating things in a lot? a microwave. Do I want to know that? I already know how to eat things in a microwave. I was looking to see if you're going to tell me something different on the little ring for the bottle cap. But no, that's not in the story. You just tricked me into clicking on the story with your picture and your

little headline. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. And they do that with stars, too. They want you to see what so-and-so looks like today. And they have a picture of someone then you click on it because you want to see what that someone looks like, but that someone isn't in. the thread of pictures of stars of what they look like today. That should be illegal. They ought to shut down a website completely for that. I mean, I guess this could be a who died today. Who died today?

But, you know, I don't know because he's missing. We don't know that he's dead. We're just assuming that he's dead. The tech tycoon, Mike Lynch, and his teen daughter and several other people are missing after a deadly tornado sinks their yacht off the coast of Sicily. Wow. I mean, just how about, you don't hear about that hardly at all. You'd think that the captain would go, oh, it's storming. Let's go someplace else. So, British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter among the six people missing after the super yacht sank off the coast of Sicily. The 59-year-old, yeah, once dubbed UK's answer to Steve Jobs, was on board the 160-foot sailboat Bayesian with 22 others when it was struck by a tornado.

off the port of Portocello at sunrise. Wow. Lynch's 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, is also among the missing passengers. According to the wife, there were 14 others, including a one-year-old child who managed to escape when it went down. At least one passenger was killed, the Italian Coast Guard said. In addition, four other people are unaccounted for, including two Americans, was carrying a crew of 10 people and 12 passengers at the time. those killed are still on accounted for but they did say that one of the people who died was the yachts onboard chef so they lost the cook I mean it's we heard of that before that's just incredible

sure they get attacked by whales all the time but sure whales start attacking these yachts and bringing them down but do we hear we're getting hit by a storm like that you'd think you'd you'd move and I know it was you know I get it was in you know early morning hours and everybody's you know woozy so security camera footage shot from the 650 feet from where the Bayesian sank Monday shows it slowly disappearing wow the chances of passengers surviving the disaster were very very small captain James Catfield who piloted the 184 foot British flagged craft was among the 15 crew members of passengers to survive after the tornado

or struck Monday before sunrise. Holy cow. That's really sad. And so you can see it going down in the footage, the last photo taken. I mean, it's the storm. See, the still image of the footage taken from the storm that hit the port. So it must have been just a surprise storm, I guess.

I guess they don't have weathermen in Sicily. They just figure, hey, it's going to be beautiful all the time. And look, if a storm comes in and you're out on the water, That's on you. Oh, okay. Maybe we'll find out that the tornado picked them up and carried them 100 miles and they're okay somewhere else. That would be awesome. That would be awesome.

Let's just hope and pray for that because it's probably not going to be the case. All right. Let's get out of here. I'll leave you with a, well, this is a thought question and a joke for the day. Okay. The first one is a thought question. Do women ever sit back and think, my man sure does know a lot?

Maybe I should just be quiet and listen to him. See, they're just asking. They're just asking if that actually happens. And then the joke of the day is, my neighbor obviously doesn't watch porn. She asked me to come fix her sink. I've been here for an hour, and I'm still fixing the damn same.

sink. Because, see, if it were, she would, and yeah, you understand. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
