Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. All right, let's talk a little bit about the dumbing down of criminals, shall we? James Taylor, not the singer, according to the photograph, was in the process of robbing a man who just bought a bag of freshly fried chicken.

When asked to hand over all his belongings, the victim did so, including a bag of chicken. But instead of taking off with the bucket, He just climbed into the man's car and started eating the chicken. Huh. So Taylor came up to the man at gunpoint, by the way, at 1.30 in the morning and demanded that he hand over everything that he had. The man handed over $2, a debit card, keys, and a bag of fried chicken. So then the man, James Taylor, climbed in the car and started eating the chicken.

The man then goes in and calls police. Police arrive and James Taylor, not the singer, was in the car eating the chicken. He now faces charges including armed robbery with a firearm, aggravated possession of a stolen motor vehicle, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, illegal possession of a debit card. And also he should be charged with being dumb. Okay.

Then we have, speaking of criminals who are not that bright, South Carolina deputies announced that they busted two people, including a woman who hid cocaine in a fake rubber pregnancy belly. Now, I would say that's a pretty good idea. although the incident happened along Interstate I-85 in Anderson County in the southwest of Greenville, borders Georgia, according to the Anderson County Sheriff's Office. Deputies were conducting a proactive patrol. That's an interesting statement. Deputies were conducting a proactive patrol when they pulled over a car with a man and woman inside.

So I guess that means they can just pull over anybody they want. if they're doing a proactive patrol? That's interesting. So deputies said that the woman appeared pregnant, but they soon became suspicious of the couple because the two gave conflicting information about her due date. As the woman realized deputies were becoming more skeptical,

she took off running. That's your first sign of, you're too dumb to be a criminal. As she was running, drugs, fell from the rubber stomach. They found 1,500 grams of cocaine. So

they both are now facing cocaine trafficking charges in South Carolina. That should end well. So we have got to do something here in this country about the dumbing down of criminals.

What is happening? Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Ooh, what a wicked web we weave when first we try to deceive. So Bobley, the cash app founder, who was stabbed to death in San Francisco, allegedly by the brother,

Nima Momani, who, his sister, Kazar Momeni, a wife of a prominent plastic surgeon, apparently was having an affair with Bob Lee. Bob Lee was part of the underground party scene in San Francisco, known as the lifestyle. So people familiar with the group said Lee and Khazar were sleeping together, and many feared he'd falling into a dangerous lifestyle, surrounding himself with the the wrong group of people. Okay.

Now, according to this, Lee was confronted by Nima about the hard partying and his sister's involvement in an argument erupting at an early hours of April 4th when Lee was stabbed multiple times. We saw the video

of him getting stabbed, and then he stumbled around begging for help before collapsing near the Bay Bridge, which apparently is just, I don't know, 15 minutes away from uh... Kazar's apartment, the wife of the plastic surgeon who he was having an affair with.

Okay. So, I mean, maybe he was in the same neighborhood. They live in the same neighborhood. I don't know that that's a big deal, but they make a point of it in the story. Just 15 minutes away from her apartment. Okay. Uh, so, um, apparently this group,

the, uh, the lifestyle group, uh, parties all over. the world. And he was involved in this casual drug use and partying, taking ketamine and cocaine and traveling to raves around the globe. Now the family says, no, this is not. This is not Bob Lee. Sorry. This is not him. Well,

he was found with cocaine and ketamine in his bloodstream with the autopsy. so and I guess they had a big fallout at some party that night a few hours before

so it's very possible that he was a part of the lifestyle so what a wicked web we weave when first we try to deceive I don't know

I don't know. It's kind of a weird story. I would say that since Bob was found with cocaine and ketamine in his system when he was murdered, that that would tend to make us believe that he was part of the lifestyle. Now, the guy that stabbed him apparently is going to plead not guilty. All right. Well, good luck with that. Everyone should be guilty until proven innocent. Let's take a look at the video, shall we? I mean, muddying the waters with the story of being a party boy and being a part of the lifestyle doesn't change the fact that he shouldn't have been murdered. You can be mad at him for having an affair with your sister, but it doesn't mean that you get to murder him. Sorry about it. But it does make the story interesting and makes me want to hear more about it.

And I would for sure like to hear more about the lifestyle, although I'm probably pretty clear that I don't have enough money to be part of the lifestyle. So unless I find somewhere to get me a billion dollars or so, the lifestyle won't be contacting me. It's kind of disappointing, actually. Now, there is a group that I would not ever be a part of. It's a group in Kenya.

that is supposed to be a starvation cult. I'm not sure that I would ever, ever, ever be a part of the starvation cult. Sorry, no. Hey, we've got a really cool club to join. All you have to do is not eat. No, thanks. So officially, this is a sad thing, actually. Officials have recovered more than 200 emancipated bodies from mass graves in Kenya

belonging to this, or they believe belong to this starvation cult, who were encouraged to starve themselves to gain salvation. Now, we've all heard about fasting and prayer and intermittent fasting, although intermittent fasting really isn't tied in with prayer, but we have all heard about fasting and prayer and how that, you know, helps and you find speaking to God while you're fasting. But that's not starvation. So authorities were alerted to the possibility of mass graves in the sprawling 800-acre property within the Shaka-Hola Forest, which is beautiful in Eastern Kenya.

I love the Shaka-Hola Forest in Eastern Kenya. It's owned by the leader of the Good News International Church. Paul McKenzie Entwitch, Nethvich allegedly taught his followers that if they starved themselves, they would go to heaven. No thanks. Guess I'm not going to heaven. Since then, 201 bodies have been recovered from mass graves on the property. 610 people are still being reported missing by their families.

Recovery efforts have also managed to locate some survivors, all whom were too weak to walk when authorities found them. Holy cow. Now, they also claimed that there were... guards at this particular, shall we say, church, worshipping area in Kenya. These guards were part of an enforcer gang that was tasked with ensuring no one broke their fast

or escaped the sprawling property. So if you were part of the starvation crew cult and you decided, yeah, I'm going to starve myself and seek salvation, you could decide later, No, you know what, I'd like some food, please. The enforcer gang was not having any of that. So the former alleged cult leader, his wife, and 16 other suspects are due to appear before a Kenyan court the end of this month, May, 2023. So we shall see what happens to the starvation cult.

Now, when they say they found bodies, they say that the victims they found died of strength. strangulation, suffocation, and blunt force trauma, as well as starvation. So not everyone was able to find salvation, because according to this cult, you had to starve to death. It didn't say, hey, we're going to partially starve you, and then we're going to strangle you. Or we're going to put a pillow over your head. Or we're going to hit you over the head with some with a butt of a rifle to kill you. You know, that's close. It's close to the starvation.

seeking salvation. So I would say starvation salvation is not for me. No thank you. I do not want any part of your starvation salvation cult. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink and maybe get something to eat in honor of the starvation salvation cult. I need something cold to drink though for sure, desperately. I see where they claim the Tonys are not going to be televised on June 11th after the Writers Guild of America denied a request for a strike waiver from the show's producer. Okay, so that means that this strike is not going to be over by June 11th.

That's kind of disconcerting. Don't necessarily like the sound of that. On top of which, okay, so the Tonys aren't going to be televised. I have a couple of things with this story that, hello, makes me think twice about it, okay? So they have a return host, this Ariana DeBose, and it was believed that she'll cancel if the strike was still on. She couldn't announce the winners of the Tony Awards without a writer? Man, that says an awful lot. and the winner is.

I don't know how to do that without it being written down on a card for me. Okay. And I know that it was a big year. Some like it hot nabbed the most nominations with 13,

including Best Musical. Shucked and Juliet earned nine nominations followed by Kimberly Akimbo scoring eight and Jessica Chantain, Chastain, Chastain.

led a revival of Adal's House, scooped up eight nominations, as did Tom Stoppard's Leopold Stat, which is political satire, I guess, ain't no more. Now, the race for best musical revival includes parade, into the woods, and Camelot. So without a writer, we can't say,

and the winner is, something like it hot, congratulations, sweeping the Tony Awards. I mean, their ratings, Can't be that good anyway. It was supposed to take place at the United Palace in New York's Washington Heights. It was supposed to be 8 p.m. Eastern air live on CBS, as well as streaming on Paramount Plus. So we're not going to do that because of the writer's strike.

All right. All right. I guess. I mean, maybe if you say we're going to stand, you know, arm and arm with. our fellow writers. That's why we're not doing it, I guess. Because, I mean, I want the writer strike to be over. I want them to get what they deserve.

And I want them to get back to giving us content for our shows, please. But wow, it's just amazing to me that we can't even have an award show because the writers are on strike. Okay. All right. What was that? I mean, the numbers were going to be low anyway. I mean, holy cow. They even say in the story,

you know, viewership for the Tonys was dramatically decreased in recent years. Yeah, because nobody really gives a crap about the Tonys except, you know, the Tony people. And so just air it. Just do it. Give the awards out and be done with it, okay? You don't need a writer.

You don't need somebody to come up with some silly jokes. So they can't do it live. You know what? They shouldn't have been there in the first place. Speaking of awards, though, I see where the Eurovision contest is over. I had a couple stories last week talking about the big event coming up, and I was like, eh, the Eurovision thing. But congratulations to Swedish, Swedish singer Lorraine.

She won her second Eurovision title for the song Tattoo. During Saturday night's finale in Liverpool, United Kingdom, in the 67th edition of one of the most highly watched live music performances in the world. 39-year-old Lorraine became the second artist and first woman ever to win the contest twice. The original slate of 37 performances whittled down to 26 ahead of the final competition and the first to allow anyone in the world to vote for their favorite performers. The show, which in recent years has garnered over 100 million views worldwide, is known for its glamorous costumes and stands.

staging. I should have watched this. I mean, I'm really bummed that I didn't watch this and I didn't give it enough attention. The event was held in the UK because of the war in Ukraine. I guess it was supposed to be in Ukraine. So, of course, we had to, you know, honor Ukraine and pay tribute to Ukraine because we're all united by music. So I know technically we're non-political and in nature, but, you know, we got in trouble. because we didn't want Vladimir Zelensky to speak at our event. Yeah, sorry. You're begging for money

everywhere else around the world. You don't need to be begging money for here at the Eurovision event. Okay? Sorry about it. Vlad. We're for you. And we're all, we're all bowing our heads for Ukraine,

but you don't get to come on and yap your, we need more money and more help. Okay? So, congratulations to Lorraine for her. her second Eurovision title. Now, admittedly, I'm not on Snapchat.

I think I have a Snapchat account, actually, but I don't remember what it was. I think my daughter or my wife set one up for me a while ago. So I can't tell you. I think I've been on Snapchat once. I know a lot of people, and I see the filters and the fun clips that happen on Snapchat. But I just am not.

I got Twitter at Jeffrey J.F. I got Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. I got YouTube chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. That cameo at Jeffrey JFR, which, you know, isn't free. Camio's my pimp, and you can order through them whether you want me to be happy, sad, glad, mad, mean, whatever, and that's what I do. But that having been said, Snapchat influencer, Karen Marjorie,

who I'm sure is wonderful, claims to have made more than $71,000 in one week, after releasing an AI version of herself. Karen AI. She's charging fans $1 per minute for Carrie AI to be their virtual girlfriend. Okay. So according to Fortune, as of last week,

Karen AI had more than 1,000 boyfriends, and Marjorie estimates she could eventually bring in $5 million a month from her chat box. I may have to get on Snapchat. It might not be a bad idea. Jeffie A.I. I think I could get behind that. So I watched Air this weekend.

It's on Amazon Prime. And it was directed by Ben Affleck. And it had Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Of course, he was in it. Jason Bateman, Marlon Wands. It's pretty good. Viola Davis was Michael's mom. She was awesome.

It was worth the watch. It was all about Nike going after Michael Jordan and creating Air Jordans and how much money they made and how much Michael made. It was a fascinating story. And, you know, obviously based on a true story and how much money that Nike and Michael has made because of the buy-in with Nike and Michael. he was the first one to get a cut of the sales of his shoe. That's pretty awesome anyway. But I see where, and I didn't realize this movie was out called A Movie Called Hypnotic from Ben Affleck. And the other reason I've reminded of hypnotic was because there's a story that says,

oh no, Ben's been having a rough go at the movies lately. Oh no. Especially with his latest flick bombing at the theaters. So Hypnotic opened the. this past weekend, $2.3 million from 2,100 or so theaters. Oh, wow. That's not good. That is not good, especially since the movie cost about $65 million to make.

So, I know Air made about $85 million worldwide, and it reportedly cost about $90 million, so it's barely breaking even. I don't know what money they're going to get from streaming and sales. And, you know, that movie is something that's going to be a long run hit. No problem. You're always going to tell me. You know, it's almost, you know, based on a true story about Michael Jordan without having Michael actually in it. And it's fascinating.

It'll be a long run movie. It'll be fine. But, holy cow. Hypnotic. Have a nice day. And I watched the trailer. The trailer doesn't really make me want to watch it. And I kind of like Ben Affleck.

I'm not an un-fan. Yeah, I mean, I like Ben. I enjoyed some of his work. I mean, his acting ability is, oh, many question it. You know, I, however, Ben, don't look at me. I'm not saying anything about your acting. But the story is all about J-Lo killing it because her new movie, The Mother, apparently number one on Netflix, which I'm not.

meant to watch this weekend and I didn't I apologize and of course shotgun wedding on amazon which you know of course I'll end up watching at some point I get it it's just those are two pretty basic movies JLo can do those movies in her sleep and of course she does and of course everyone loves them because it's JLo so ben has got to be back to smoking cigarettes again so when Jalo gets after him again for firing up a butt he can and just go, back off me, all right? I need to have a hit. 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. Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets 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. So who died today? Who died today? Let's start with Doyle Brunson.

Yes, Doyle Brunson, known as the Godfather of Poker, has passed away at the age of 89 years old in Las Vegas, Nevada. He passed away. It does not say, he passed away of? I know. Don't look at me like that. He was 89. I got it. But he's in the Poker Hall of Fame. They put him in in 1988. I love the Poker Hall of Fame. Can't drag me out of that place. He won 10 World Series of Poker Tournaments, including back-to-back main events in 1976 and 1977. His son was also inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame. It's a Brunson World at the Poker Hall of Fame. And his books,

Super System and the Super System 2 are considered some of the influential game has ever seen. So rest in peace to Doyle Brunson, who passed away in Las Vegas this Sunday, the godfather of poker at 89. And don't look at me like that. I'm pretty sure it wasn't that. He was 89. Okay. So I'm sure it wasn't that. Also, uh, who died today? Gloria Molina. pioneering political leader who represented the people of Los Angeles died on Sunday as well at the age of 74. She had terminal cancer. She'd been fighting cancer for the past three years. She was the first Chicana elected to the state assembly in 1982, the Los Angeles City Council in 87, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in 1991.

She was vice chair of the Democratic National Committee from the days of Bill Clinton's presidency until 2004. She was a featured speaker at multiple DNC conventions. Really fascinating woman. She said she never thought about going to college until there was a bookkeeper at her school that said she needed to attend the new community college. And she said she hung out with all the Chicanoes and none of them were talking about going to college at the time. But she ended up going. And she decided that she was going to take a shot at the state legislature. And she said that it was more about women than it was just being Chicano. She said that it was not to become followers.

She was learning to become leaders, not to become followers of the white woman's movement, and not to become followers of the Chicano movement, but to become leaders for ourselves and other women. That was very important. to us. So a great woman had a lot, a lot of work. I know, I know, I know, I know, but Gloria Molina passes away at the age of 74. Also, we have another horse, as long as we're doing, who died today. We have another horse that is dead at Churchill Downs. What is happening? They are dropping like flies.

Okay, I mean, eight of them have died. So another horse, died after running at Churchill Downs on Sunday. Eight fatalities at the track since the weeks leading up to the Kentucky Derby and now after. Rio Moon was euthanized after it suffered a catastrophic injury to his left foreleg,

a few strides after the wire. Wow, that must not have been pretty. A three-year-old ridden by Jock and Martin, Jockey Martin Garcia, and trained by Dale Robbins. It was running on the sixth race of the day at the fame Louisville track. Yeah, okay, we can.

got it. But really, really, where he said that a three-year-old gellie broke his neck after flipping and saddling paddock on April 29th. The freezing point, three-year-old cult, suffering injuries while racing and undercards. Two others collapsed and died suddenly without apparent injury. Pretty sure it wasn't that that they died suddenly of, but you never know.

more than 7,200 horses died in total from racing, from racing injuries from 2009 to 2021. Wow, okay. So, I mean, the numbers, I don't know what's going on, but who died today? Eight horses, eight horses at Churchill Downs have died leading up to the weeks prior to and just after the Kentucky Derby. Now, they're being euthanized, so they break a leg. and sorry there, freezing point, you're going down. Good job. Rio Moon had, I mean,

Rio Moon just ran the race. The race was over, and then he suffered the injury to his left forelegs. So right then and there, I mean, you're like, holy cow, you got to put him down. So sad. So I don't know what's happening with these horses, but something needs to be investigated. and I'm sure they will.

But the horse racing industry is a mighty big industry. So good luck, euthanizing that. Whole lot of money made on betting on horses. I mean, I see where it's been five years since the Supreme Court lifted the federal ban on sports gambling in the U.S. So we've got, I mean, that's another multi-billion dollar industry. Some of the numbers that came out in the, you know, saying, we're marking five years.

years. So it's $95 billion. Americans bet on sports in legal jurisdictions. Wow. And that's, holy cow. I mean, that's legal gambling, right? 71% are two sports baiting companies, Draft King and Fanduil, control more than 70% of the U.S. market per gambling analytics. Ooh, okay. 10% of wagers, these companies have struggled to turn a profit. Weird. Endo recorded its first quarterly profit last year. Draft Kings has yet to report a profitable quarter. Interesting. 33, that's the number of states that currently have legal sports betting.

Another four states have legalized sports wagering, but don't have any sports books operating. Three of the most popular U.S. states, California, Texas, and Florida have not legalized sports gambling, which is just crazy. I mean, okay. I mean, if you could get Texas, Florida, and California to start having legalized sports gambling, those draft kings and Fanduil will see a profit. The number of women joining 45% is the number of women joining sportsbook apps. Wow, 45% jumped that mark jumped last year. Third straight year, new women users exceeded them.

Women are pretty good at betting. I just got to tell you, they just are. They just are. because they have, and this is just me. Now, this is a Jeff Fisher, chewing the fat thought on why women are better gamblers than men, okay? Because they don't have a heart.

They don't have any heart in it. I know you're going to say, yes, they do. They love their teams. They love their players. Okay. But overall, they have no heart. They're not in it for the heart. They're in it for the money.

And that's the way you've got to be when you gamble. You can't be in it with a heart. And I would say that, you know, I don't look at me like that. You know I'm right. Women don't have a heart when it comes to gambling. Oh, you thought I meant overall. Well, well, well.

Our special selection has something for every style and price point. Visit our Holt's holiday shop and store or all. online at Holtrenfrew.com. So last week we talked a little bit about Bo Jackson, who has been suffering from hiccups for nearly a year, suffering from hiccups for nearly a year. And he's been trying to solve the problem.

And he even said in an interview that someone told him to smell a porcupine's butt. I mean, if you want to do. want to get rid of something so bad and so horrible and someone says hey uh you've had the hiccups for six months now you know what the way to get rid of them is to a smell of porcupine's ass you're going to do that you just are i'm with you beau i'm with you and so apparently he's going to go under some surgery uh that uh this procedure is supposed to provide relief uh there's been other people who have struggled with hiccups over the years uh i've never had them that long i will say that the one thing that's kind of worked for me is

I drink a cup of water and hold my breath and think of elephants. I know this is like the porcupine's ass. Not as bad though. But it's just that someone I read or someone told me that if you think about elephants, the hiccups will go away.

And so I hold my breath and I think about elephants and it usually works. Again, usually it's not 100%. But it usually works. So I got an email from Dwight who said that he was driving and listening to

the podcast and the subject of hiccups and surgery to cure them. He said I don't have Twitter so the best way, this is the best way to reach out for me. Okay, thank you. You can email the show anytime chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Thank you. I appreciate it. I see them all. I don't

comment on all of them, but I do read them when they come through. Anyway, getting to his point, Dwight. I have an easy, quick cure for the hiccups, and it works for me every time. It is 100% guaranteed. This is a 100% guarantee from Dwight, the emailer, to chewing the fat at the blaze.com. And he claims here, or your money back. So that's a guarantee for you right there. You can't get a better guarantee than that. A hundred percent guaranteed or your money back, and it takes only about 10 seconds.

Very rarely will I have to do it twice, but never three times. So, I mean, it doesn't work the first time, but it's 100% guarantee to your money back if it works by the second time, but never three times. So after the third time, I would say write back and get your money back. So hold your nose, close all the way through the process. take continuous drinks of any beverage holding your nose closed will not allow the displacement of air through the nose okay so you want to take continuous drinks of any beverage and because you're holding your nose it won't allow the displacement of air through the nose so it forces the air back up in the way of a burp very important in all caps don't release your nose after the first burp but continue you're drinking until the second burp.

Understand the second burp will hurt. He says not a lot, though. Not a lot. It will hurt, but not a lot. But it will hurt your chest to some degree. It's worth it in the end, according to Dwight. Try it next time. You get the hiccups.

And for me, it never fails. Well, he does. It never fails, you know, at least by the second time. So anyway, there's a cure. I don't know if he ever reached out to Bo to help. But I sure hope Bo has tried it because it sounds like a foolproof plan. And of course, Bo had a 100% money back guarantee, as now you do as well. Thank you, Dwight.

So I'm scrolling through my phone this weekend, just trying to, you know, I've got to get a new phone. And so I'm seeing what's on this phone. And I'm just, you know, if it's going to transfer over and what I want to save and I'm moving photos around. I love this phone. but I got to get a new phone here pretty soon. The crystal's broken. It's not, I just got to get a new phone. But anyway, I found this post that I had from 2015.

And it's the post that says the year is 1915, just 100 years ago. So it's in 2015. So we are now nine years from, we're 1009 years ago, was 1915. Okay? 100 and not well it's 23 so it'll be eight years okay now i'm already thinking it's 2024 what am i doing so this list is pretty interesting because it talks about what was happening uh in 1915 which is now 108 years away from 1915 the average life expectancy for men was 47 years fuel for cars only sold in drug stores.

Only 14% of the homes had a telephone. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 miles an hour. The tallest structure of the world was the Eiffel Tower. The average U.S. wage in 1910 was 22 cents an hour, so that's 113 years ago. A veterinarian could make between $1,5004,000 a year, a day. dentist could make $2,500 per year. A competent accountant could expect to earn $2,000 per year. The average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 per year.

I mean, just an incredible list of the way things were in 1915, 1008 years ago. Sugar costs $0.4 a pound. More than 95% of all births took place at home. 90% of all doctors had no college education. Instead, they attended these so-called medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and the government as substandard. Wow, anybody could be a doctor. I like that time.

No, just kidding. Coffee was 15 cents a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month. They used borax or egg yolks for shampoo. Man, does that sound good? Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from entering into their country for any reason. The five leading causes of death were pneumonia, influenza, tuberculosis, diarrhea, heart disease, and stroke. The American flag had 45 stars. The population of Las Vegas, Nevada was only 30.

Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented yet. There was neither a Mother's Day nor a Father's Day. Two out of every ten adults could not read or write. Six percent of all Americans had graduated from high school. Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at local drug stores. Now, now you're getting into sounding good. Back then, apparently, according to this, pharmacists said, Hey, heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind,

regulates the stomach, bowels, and is in fact a perfect guardian of health. Yeah, that's good times right there. 18% of households had at least one full-time servant or domestic help. Wow. 18% of households had at least one full-time servant or domestic help. Then they just got married. And last, there were about 230 reported murders in the entire United States. Yeah, reported.

So that was things that were happening in 1915, just 108. years ago. Think about where we're at now. We're at dating a Snapchat AI girl for a buck a week. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
