Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. I want to be clear, I had nothing to do with it. The theft of six Roman-era statues from Syria's National Museum. Not me. I had nothing to do with it. Each nude statue depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love, and measures between six and nine inches tall. Okay.

They discovered that they were missing last week when a staff member said, Hey, why is this door broken from the inside? Yeah. Well, that's because somebody stole the statues from the museum. So apparently they believe that it was likely the result of an individual, not an organized gang. Okay. They haven't identified a suspect yet or a motive at this time. but they do say that yeah they probably you know it's going to be tough to sell on the black market

yeah that means that someone just wanted the statues and for themselves and there's nothing like having six roman era statues of venus nude the roman goddess of love in your home am i right yeah of course i am so the national museum in damascus was established in 1919 and also host these some of the oldest known complete alphabet system tablets it reopened fully earlier this year after years of partial closure during Syria's civil war yeah they have a new ruler now and everything is beautiful and wonderful and he even came to the U.S. and got some help from our president so that's great but I just want to be clear that I had nothing to do with the theft of these roman era statues okay we clear good welcome welcome to chewing the fat fat five

plus here's something to look forward to uh there's a new slang number uh making the rounds so you're aware of six seven right and it's uh you know it's uh you know you have to put uh six seven and your arms have to go up and down uh back and forth in front of you yeah that's the you know six seven and so that was i mean that was the word of the year from dictionary dot com six seven but the new one out there now is 41 yes that's correct uh the number that comes after 40 uh 41 and it's a drawn out and set in a slightly descending tone so it's not uh it's not it's not uh it's like 41 41 and uh the hand gestures are different as well

So with 6-7, the arms go up and down back and forth. With 41, 41, your hands got to look like the, you know how a DJ spins records with both hands, scratches and spins records with both hands? That's what your hands have to do when you say, 41. So just look for that because that's coming. In fact, it's already here. You're going to ask yourself, what does it mean?

Well, basically nothing. And that's the point. So it's the same with 6-7. So is 41. And you just slide your hands back and forth because it really doesn't mean anything. So if somebody's yapping and saying things that you just think are nothing, and just 41. Hey, everything okay?

41. Just, hey, just something to look forward to, huh? I had four stories pop up in my timeline. And I thought, you know what? I'm going to share these with you today. chewing the fat fat five plus they uh there are stories that i hadn't heard about now they may be old but i just hadn't heard about them this story popped up in my timeline um i did not know this before anyone is allowed to live or work in antarctica and who doesn't want to live and or work

in antarctica i mean you might want to go there for a vacation i don't know that you want to live and work there but anyway if you want to live or work in antarctica you must undergo um few health requirements. Doctors make sure your appendix and wisdom teeth are removed, even if they're perfectly fine. Because if you go to Antarctica, help is months away, and it's considered a matter of survival. Antarctica is the coldest, most isolated continent on Earth,

and medical facilities there are limited to the basics. The rule dates back decades when early researchers suffered danger, complications from appendicitis or infected wisdom teeth in remote bases. So since evacuation flights are nearly impossible during the harsh winter, these surgeries are done in advance as a preventative measure. The policy remains in effect for all long-term residents and researchers who join expeditions in the South Pole. And I use this long-term residence, I guess if you're going there, you're going to be

a long-term resident, right? you're not just there's not in and out of antarctica but maybe there is maybe you know if you're just going to you know fly down and pick someone up and then you know you can zip in and zip out of Antarctica maybe you don't have to have your wisdom teeth and your appendix removed but if you're going to stay any amount of time and I would assume that's even if you think you're going to zip in and zip out you better make sure that your wisdom teeth and your appendix are removed or they will remove them for you. Yeah.

So then, story number two. A man in India, Missouri, became known for building a home so full that visitors compared it to a small village. Okay. Now, this story drew attention in 2011, so it's probably even grown since then.

I mean, this is what, holy cow, 13 years ago. So this is, So this man has 94 children, 33 grandchildren, all sharing daily life in a four-story structure that overlooked the town. Okay. So that means that he must have a whole bunch of wives. Yep, 39 of them. Okay.

That's awesome. 39 wives, 94 children, 33 grandchildren. and that was 15 years ago. So, wow. Think about how that's grown now. I'm going to have to do a check on that. Tomorrow's, Fad 5, Fad 5 plus, we'll have an update on this guy because it's got to be a lot more.

But when you think to yourself, I can't take my family coming over for Thanksgiving. Be thankful you're not this guy. Plus, holy cow, 39 wives. Oh, man. I mean, at some point, more than one wife may sound like something that would be fun. 39 is not it. 39 is not it. I'm not sure what the cutoff is, but I know that 39, I'm not reaching 39.

That's for sure. Then we have a guy in Germany. So we have this guy in India who's got his 39 wives and, you know, all the kinds of kids and grand. kids then we have a guy in uh germany who couldn't get his wife pregnant all right and because he was uh infertile all right so they asked the neighbor hey can you make my wife pregnant and as you know if your neighbor comes over and hey i was just wondering um you know i i'm in for a one i can't i can't uh i can't give my wife a baby could you help out and maybe uh maybe uh maybe uh you know make my wife pregnant so that we can have a baby and the neighbor who's what neighbor's going

to say nope can't do that so the neighbor agreed and they tried three times a week for six months 72 sessions no success the wife was still not pregnant then they found out that the neighbor he was also sterile ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Now, I don't know if they can prove that he knew he was sterile when he made the deal. They're suing him now. The neighbor says, hey, I never promised success, only effort. Now, that means when you say something like that, that kind of means that he knew from the very beginning that he was sterile.

And, yeah, sure, I'll give it a shot. That's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's, That'd mean. The neighbor is wrong. The neighbor is wrong and mean. Kind of is, really. I mean, they were hoping to get a child out of the deal. They didn't get a child out of the deal.

All they got was 72 sessions of the neighbor, taking care of a little bit with the wife. And, I mean, if you were sterile, a husband could have been doing that. And then we have a real-life suits. A real-life suit story. A man in Kenya made headlines after posing as a lawyer. He won all 26.

of his cases before being exposed and arrested. Oh, no, he didn't have Harvey Specter looking out for him. So the fake attorney who reportedly represented clients in major criminal and civil cases managed to outsmart seasoned lawyers and judges for years. His confident courtroom performances and deep legal knowledge left many stunned when his credentials turned out to be completely fabricated. So despite his arrest, some online users called him the real-life suits. character. Uh, yeah, uh, like me, uh, who definitely called him that. And other, how

the justice system has failed? Well, it didn't really fail. Uh, you know, this guy helped him out. He won all 26 cases. So, okay. And plus, uh, just between you and me. It's in Kenya. So do we care? We do? Okay. Never mind. Congratulations to the person or persons in Noonan, Georgia. You won the $980 million dollar Mega Millions jackpot. Congratulations. I mean, world changing. No kidding.

I was sold at a Publix. In Noonan, Georgia, you know, right there on Highway 29, quick pick ticket sold at the public's won the $980 million jackpot. So congratulations to whoever won that $980 million jackpot. Cash payout, $445 million, $445.445.3 million is the cash payout for the whatever congratulations something like that no that was that 965 so the 980s more than that 460s million something like that whatever it doesn't matter congratulations no really i mean it now tonight we have the powerball drawing which is worth 570 million dollars that is a 266.9 million

cash payout the mega millions is back down to like 50 million oh yeah uh that 23.2 million cash payout I mean, that's barely enough to play. Am I right? Yeah, of course I am. But really, I mean congratulations to the people in Georgia, man. That is a world-changing event and generational, generational changes for you. So I hope you didn't lose it. I hope you just didn't throw it in a grocery bag.

We got a quick pick there at the Publix and decided to throw it in the grocery bag on the way out and then threw it out because that would be a real bummer. I'd be digging through all the tracks for that bad boy. Be sure to follow me on my social media at Jeffy JFR on X. Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and Instagram.

on Pat Gray Unleashed. I'm on that program Monday through Friday. That program is 6 to 8 a.m. Central Time, and that is on Blaze TV and Blaze Radio and a few other platforms as well with the Pat Gray Unleash program. So, you know, I try not to do the same stories on this show that I do for Pat Gray. the fat five on pat gray some of them overlap uh you know i get to but uh most of them i try to do separate uh separate entities so that you can enjoy uh different stories there on pat gra and then you still have the fat five plus uh stories to enjoy here you can also email the show

anytime chewing the fat at the blaze dot com like for instance the story that kind of crosses over as I did the story on Pat Groundleash today about the city of Fort Worth, Texas, having the state's tallest, well, once live Christmas tree, and it installed in Sundance Square in downtown a couple days ago. It's an 86-foot-tall Norway spruce. Wow. And it traveled from Cadillac, Michigan, which is right here in Michigan, as I hold up on the map.

But it's the tallest Christmas tree in Texas. It's also 11 feet taller than this year's Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, which I find fascinating. But it's surprising that the White House Christmas tree, which, you know, we talked about Fort Worth, it got started from Amon Carter in 1947. He was the publisher of the Fort Worth Star Telegram, and he took great pride in Fort Worth's tree being taller than the national Christmas tree outside the White House. Well, then I looked to see the Christmas tree for the White House.

coming from Michigan as well. Not Cadillac, though. A little bit down farther southwest from Sydney, Michigan. And it's the Corson Tree Farms in Michigan, and they're going to supply the White House Christmas tree this year. So

they were pretty excited about that. And I don't know how tall the White House outside Christmas tree is. Couldn't find that. We'll have to look at that. Look for that. You can email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Because a lot of times they get those from, you know, Alaska or something just to, you know, make do with the natives.

Those are indigenous people. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I'm talking about. So I think last year they actually did come from some island in Alaska. So anyway, I'm happy that at least Michigan is providing some Christmas trees for plenty of people to enjoy in Washington, D.C., and the great state of Texas. So it's being reported that November 20th is the deadline. If you're listening live, today is the 17th of November, 2025, Monday the 17th.

It's being reported that Comcast, Netflix, and Paramount are preparing competing bids to acquire Warner Brothers discovery ahead of the November 20th deadline. So good luck to all of those. I'm sure they'll keep the, that'll bring the prices down, won't it? of course it will did you go to the theater this weekend

I know that Landman season two started this yesterday as a matter of fact and I haven't watched it I'm going to watch it today I'll give you a quick review tomorrow I just didn't I didn't have time to watch it yesterday and there's other people in my house

that want to watch it at the same time so between that I decided we're watching it on Monday and so I'll let you know but season two of Landman started and I'm looking forward to I really am looking forward to watching that. And I did start Pluribus.

We may have talked about that. I did start Pluribus. They were happy with the numbers on Pluribus, but it really wasn't as good as what I thought it was going to be. Apple TV, who I stole the Plus from, when it used to be Apple TV Plus, and they threw it away. The series Pluribus opened up to 1.7 million season views. in its first weekend.

So I guess that's their sweet spot. They're happy with it. But, I mean, severance was over 2 million. And friends and neighbors was over 2 million. So not as good as that. But, you know, good. And so, you know, people are watching it. No problem.

In the theaters, I was really surprised that the running man did not come in first. But there were two shows. Well, there were actually three shows, brand new shows this week. Running Man, the Running Man, got 17 million domestically with 28.2 million globally. That was a 110 million dollar budget for the running man. So, okay, we'll see.

That was week one. But the number one movie was, now you see me, now you don't. 21.3 million domestic open, 75.5 million global debut on a $90 million budget. Yeah, that movie's going to make some money. It's the magician heist threequel. Ha! Okay, so I guess apparently, and China delivering a massive $20 million or $19.2 million for that movie as well. The third movie that was the first weekend was Keeper, which was Osgood Perkins' third neon horror co-lab. I didn't do well. 2.5 million was six place. Wow. That's a $6 million budget, though, so maybe it'll work out.

I see we're in Nuremberg, week two, Nuremberg, with Russell Crow and a few other stars, 2.4 million. And I saw all kinds of posts about this, you know, being an Oscar-worthy film. And 8.5 million is all it's made here in the United States, is that we don't want, we don't care about Nuremberg. Sure, the performance was great and, you know, it was wonderful, but we just don't care about Nuremberg. I don't know.

It's really, that's a really strange one for me. And maybe that'll do great once it gets onto pay-per-view on streaming. Because, you know, I definitely want to see it. I don't know that I want to pay to see it, though. Maybe that's the problem. Then we had week two for Predator Badlands, which got 13 million domestic. That's down like 68%. So that made 66.3 million domestic, 136.3 million global on a $105 million budget.

Yeah. So, I mean, they'll be okay. with that. I don't know what they spent on promotion, but at $105 million budget, and they're already at $136.3 million globally. Yeah. They'll be happy with that.

And then next week, you know, Wicked for Good arrives, and they will save, that will save the pre- Thanksgiving movie going money for sure, because that'll be number one across the board.

Wicked for good. I've seen all the promos. I just can't. I want to watch them. I want to watch the first one. I still haven't seen it. And after the second one comes out, I'm going to want to watch both of them. And I just can't.

I just can't bring myself to watch them. And I don't know why I want to watch them because I just kind of like the whole thing around it, except I just can't bring myself to watch them. I know. I know. It's me. It's me.

It's not you. It's me. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Dan McGrath, Dan McGrath, an Emmy Award-winning writer and producer who worked on shows as The Simpsons, Saturday Night Live, King of the Hill, has died at the age of 61. Apparently, you know, according to the family, he was a special man, and yeah, we get it. He died after having a stroke, so at 61, he had a stroke. he had a stroke that is interesting

no telling what caused the stroke but he had one and it wasn't good rest and peace to Dan McGrath dead at the age of 61 then we have Ted Hartley Ted Hartley actor

I mean he was an actor you may remember him from Peyton Place nobody remembers that show He is dead at the age of 100. He lived in to be 100. He had an amazing life. He really did. He was a fighter pilot turned actor, producer.

He was the chairman and CEO of RKO Pictures. He married, the wife was a hoity toy. And once he married her, he was walking in the tall cotton. I'll tell you that. She was actress and heiress, Dina Merrill. And she died, I don't know, in 2017, and they have a son. But I was reading about his life, and he started, he was born in Omaha, then he was raised on a farm in Iowa, and he only started acting because he was a jet pilot, and he

planned on being, you know, in wrestling, and then he fell off his ladder, getting out of his plane, and broke his back. And that did not go over well with the military. Anyway, rest in peace to Ted Hartley. I did not say what the cause of death was, but he was again 100. So rest in peace to Ted Hartley dead at the age of 100. Then we have Hank Baum. Hank Baum, filmmaker, German filmmaker, dead at the age of 86.

He, I mean, he was Mr. European Germany filmmaker. They loved him, and he just got done celebrating. a new premiere at at Khan in 2025 so he was surrounded by his family in Hamburg Hank bomb dead

at the age of 86 then we have Todd Snyder okay so Todd Snyder has passed away at the age of 59 from pneumonia okay amazing to me that he has passed away I just

I never got to the story I don't think we may have talked talked about it. I just, I had it in my show prep. I don't remember talking about it with you. He got into what they said was a, he was the victim of a violent crime, a violent assault in Salt Lake City because he had just canceled a bunch of his tour. He was getting ready to go on tour and he was assaulted in Salt Lake City. Then we find out that he himself was arrested when, and so, okay, uh he was he refused to leave the hospital and then he threatened staffers and then he scrapped the tour that was supposed to support his recent album and then apparently uh after that he got

pneumonia and he died in tennessee so i don't know what killed him the assault the fight or the pneumonia but they all were uh they all played a part in his death very sad rest and peace to Todd Snyder, dead at the age of 59. Then we have Kenny Easley, Kenny Easley, the Seattle Seahawks great and Hall of Famer, National Football Player, dead at the age of 66. He was, I mean, he was a great football player from his time, man. That's why he's in the Hall of Fame. Now, I remember when Kenny was playing in the NFL, and he was the enforcer man.

He was the guy. And I will say this, and the Seahawks paid homage to him. They changed the avatar to their ex account, and they retired his jersey, and he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, I don't know, eight, nine years ago. But his career ended in 1987 due to a severe kidney ailment, and that forced him to retire at the age of 28. He sued the Seahawks. I don't remember this.

He sued the Seahawks, alleging that large doses of ibuprofen, prescribed by the team damaged his kidneys and that the team allowed him to play his final season without informing him of the issue. And apparently they settled out of court. So, okay, they got back together, though, because they put him in the ring of honor, and he was considered their guy.

So rest in peace to Kenny Easley, former, well, we'll say former hard-hitting Seattle Seahawks safety. he was the enforcer man dead at the age of 66 then we have news from o j simpson yes i know o j is dead rest in peace but apparently uh they have decided that uh ron goldman uh the father of ron goldman's father i should say uh you know the who died in the double murder uh i guess the attorney the executive the executive of the Simpson estate, this Malcolm Laverne, who said in the beginning that he wasn't going to give any money to Goldman. But now, I guess, that they've accepted Goldman as a creditor to claim. And they said, yeah, we'll pay $57,997,8,858.12 as an ongoing judgment of interest.

Wow. They had said that they weren't going to give him a dime. Now, it's funny because you say, O.J. had that amount of money? Not really. You know, Goldman initially submitted a claim for $117 million, which I guess that represents the original $33 million judgment from 1995 civil lawsuit plus interest that's accumulated over the course of the past three decades. Okay. And they were never going to pay that. But then the attorney for OJ's estate said, yeah, you know what? we offered a number that was half of that

and Goldman accepted it now the thing is is he ever going to get it doesn't look like he will really the estate attends to pay as much of the approved amount as possible

through ongoing auctions of Simpson's possessions okay so they also said hey we had some memorabilia that was stolen and we're working with attorneys to recover these items so he also plans to request the court to award Goldman administrative fees for guidance provided in managing the estate. That's interesting. They also have rejected most creditor claims

accepting only Goldman's and a claim from the IRS. Simpson said they would prioritize payment to the IRS in order to meet federal tax obligations before tending to other debts, including, I guess California wants like, I don't know, 600,000, 6,000 or 700,000. Yeah, they said they're going to have to sue to get that money if they want it. Oh, okay.

So we'll see if Goldman ever gets any of that money or even a piece of it, right? I guess if he's going to become some sort of administrator to the estate that he'll make some kind of money from that. But I don't see him getting close to that $58 million mark. But maybe that's not the point. The point is getting something for his son's death, right?

Which he's been trying to do for 30 years. Even though O.J. was found not guilty, okay? Not with that civil trial. But in the criminal trial, he was found not guilty. So anyone Believe that? Seriously? Does anyone believe that?

I mean, if the glove Doesn't fit, you must acquit. And they did. All right, let's get out of here with the joke of the day. Sent to me from Brown at Chewing the Fat at Theblaze.com.

What is kind of a silly one? It's a good one for your kids. And kids, if you're listening, save it. You can use it at school. Okay? What did one eye say to the other I he just has it written here as other what did one I say to the other

but I'm going to add the other okay so what did one eye say to the other eye I don't know Jeff what did the one I say to the other eye something between us smells see because you've got you No, no, no, you got it.
