How many times have you debated with your friends whether hippos use a standard quadrupedal walk or a trotting gate with diagonal feet moving in synchrony? How many times? I mean, I can't count the times. Well, now we know. A study from the University of London's Royal Veterinary College, and I love them, has found that hippos can momentarily lift all four feet off the ground when moving at full speed on land. Yes, hippos can fly. So, I mean, this show has been a huge fan of hippopotamus's for years. We've talked about how many, many years ago,

they tried to get hippopotamuses here in the United States to become what we use as cattle now. And obviously that did not work out. But they're native to sub-Saharan Africa, one of the largest land mammals, adult males, average 3,300 pounds, females, average 2,800, almost 2,900 pounds. And they reach speeds of like, 18 miles an hour, almost 19 miles an hour, which I don't know if you ever had a hippo chase you,

but you don't realize how fast they are until one is chasing you. You can quote me on that. Well, previous studies haven't confirmed how hippos could become airborne while moving quickly. But now we know because this investigative team led by Professor John Hutchinson and a veterinary student, Emily Pringle, filmed hippos at Flamingo Land Resort, and analyzed online videos. They gathered and analyzed 169 strides from 32 hippos, including two zoo hippos moving quickly around their paddock. Hutchinson's research focuses on understanding how large animals stand and move, and how locomotion evolved in different land vertebrates.

Man, does that sound like a fun thing to study? But anyway, we know now that yes, hippos can fly. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. For those of you listening live, today is the 8th of July, 24. Boy, it seems like forever since we last gathered. Thank you for coming along for the ride today. Hurricane Burrell.

And I guess that I keep calling. calling it Burrell, it's B-E-R-Y-L, and I was making fun of people calling it B-E-R-Y-L, but I guess that's how it's pronounced, B-E-R-Y-L, even my girl who's back from vacation. B-R-L. Yeah, I got it. It's B-R-L. No, I understand. I understand what you said. That doesn't mean that I want to change it, because I thought for sure it meant it's Burl, B-E-R-A, or B-E-R-Y-L. So, it's not Burrell, it's Barrel. Yeah. So

there you have it. Anyway, it made landfall this morning as a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 80 miles an hour. It brought storm surge, strong winds, heavy rainfall. Conditions are expected to worsen across the Houston metro area.

I'm sure you're in it right now as we speak live. It's the first July hurricane landfall in Texas since 2020. So that's got to be because of climate change. And the 10th July, Texas hurricane landfall on record. So like it's never

happened before, except it actually has. So I was looking at the track, the cone of death from the National Hurricane Center. It is swerving more north, north, east than the original cone of death had it after landfall. It's already

weakened to a tropical storm and it's cutting across Texas and I'm through on through Arkansas and then Illinois and Ohio and Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, maybe a little bit of Pennsylvania. It probably will swerve a little bit more northeast and a little bit farther south than what they have it already by the time tomorrow shows up. But if you're in the path, beware.

There will be some strong winds, some heavy rains and a potential seriously damaging storm. from Hurricane, now Tropical Storm. Barrel. It did some serious damage crossing the Caribbean. I mean, I think at least nine people have, it's confirmed dead from the storm. And then it cut across the Yucatan Peninsula, which just, you know, hammered the Yucatan Peninsula. But that really weakened it a lot.

And as it came back into the Gulf of Mexico, it reorganized and headed north, northeast. And there's where we have our. landfall this morning. So just be careful in front of the storm, which is, of course, named. Barrel. Yeah, I got it. So how was your big 4th of July weekend? Good. I hope everything went well. It's barbecue season. Everyone barbecuing their little tail off and shooting fireworks off. I heard many, many fireworks going off here in DFW. All the cities had there. cities and neighborhoods had their, you know, their own little fireworks presentations.

And people were lighting their own fireworks in neighborhoods. Now, in some neighborhoods in DFW, they unleashed the drones. I don't know if this happened in your neighborhood. It did not happen in my neighborhood, but it did happen in Arlington, Texas, which is, you know, a part of DFW. In fact, it's the city that the Dallas Cowboys actually play in. That's where the AT&T Stadium is. But Arlington police had their drones out telling people no more fireworks.

I didn't know there was a time limit on fireworks, but the Arlington police were letting people know it's time to put the fireworks away. And they had drones flying over the neighborhoods. Whoa. So enough is enough. And we have drones flying over telling people put them away. Or we're going to send officers to your home and you will receive a citation. Nice.

Nice. I will say that I will not be surprised to hear that video is not real, but until it's proven to me that it's not real, it's real. And the surveillance state is in full force. Now, we know the surveillance state is in full force. We've talked about this at length. When you go outside, you need to just act like you're always on camera because there are very few dead spots left.

in America. We know this. And so just live with it. I know, I'm not saying you have to like it, but that's just the way it is. And so the drone police are coming for you, the surveillance state. That's a cheap trick. Did that song years ago, didn't they? I know it was Dream Police. I got it.

Forget it. Get off me. Okay, so we do have a new champion in the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest because Joey Chestnut banned from competition. No, he signed a deal with the impossible foods. And so Nathan's was like, no, you're not going to do that. You're not going to promote Nathan's. You're not going to promote your Impossible Foods food when you're at Nathan's.

And he didn't want anything to do with it. So he wasn't banned. He just decided to go where the money, where more money was. Good for him, but he didn't show up. So Patrick Bertoletti, Patrick Bertoletti, gobbled up 58 hot dogs to win his first men's title. Congratulations to Patrick. He won the Nathan's famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest.

Now, I know that they're, oh, that's because Joey wasn't there. And, of course, Mickey Soto won her 10th title and set a new world record by downing 51 links in the women's competition. Now, Joey had won, I mean, he's won, I think, 16 out of 17. previous competitions. And of course, he didn't attend.

But he showed up at an army base in Al Paso, Texas, where he was going up against our military veterans. And he wanted to be there and said, you know, hey, I'm here at Fort Bliss. I have great respect for all the military, the service of my father, grandfather, brother. And you all pushed me so hard. You know, thanks for being a supporter of me.

the world's a champion of food eating. Well, anyway, he was there, and he only down 57 at the Fort Bliss contest. So I'm just saying that, you know, I know he holds the record of 76 back in 2021, but he only ate 57 hot dogs and buns at Fort Bliss. There were other four competitors, who tallied 49 hot dogs and buns.

So please. Not even coming close to Joey. And I know he got a little love at the Nathan's contest. They gave him a shout-out anyway at the competition. They said they commended Chestnut during the ESPN broadcast of the Coney Island contest. Yeah, Rich Shea competitor said he was a great guy. Yeah, well, they wanted him. And they still said he could come back.

they still said, hey, come back. He just can't promote impossible foods. Now, the thing is, is that he was eating at Fort Bliss, and there was no sponsorship at Fort Bliss from Impossible Foods, and they weren't eating Impossible Dogs. So I'm a little confused at what the deal was, unless he was wearing an Impossible T-shirt or whatever, because I haven't seen a picture of Joey at the Fort Bliss contest.

So it's possible that the shirt he was wearing and said Impossible Foods or something. But the dogs were not from Impossible Foods. So, okay, whatever you do, do it your best, whatever. So anyway, congratulations too to everybody's downplaying. You know, Joey wasn't there. And so What's His Face, Bertoletti is now the champion of Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest with, you know, downing 58 dogs.

But hello, Mickey Sode. world record for the females for the women's side. Congratulations. And her 10th victory? She's a major competitor. It's a 38-year-old dental hygiene student from Florida once again. Carried the day. Wow, she's 38 and a dental hygiene student.

So she decided to go back to school, I guess, with all the money she's making from eating content. to surround the world. Oh, and she gets bragging rights too because I guess her boyfriend, I'm sorry, partner was there and he did not win. Obviously, a Bertoletti beat everyone and he ate less hot dogs than she did. So a loser. 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.

In the words of Maximus Desmus Meridius, what we do in life echoes an eternity. There are those who lead, and then there are those who follow. And when it's time for you to buy or sell a house, especially in this housing market, the type of person you need is the former, not the latter. You want someone who thinks of themselves. What we do in life echoes an eternity. A number of years ago, a guy by the name of Glenn Beck, I got so fed up with the follower types,

not knowing how to sell a house, he decided to do something about it. And he started real estate agents I trust because he didn't want you to go through the same hassles he had every time he moved. He should have just asked the question, do you believe in what we do in life? Echoes in eternity.

And if they would have said, no, then he could have just moved out. But he didn't ask that question. Real estate agents I trust. pairs you with the best real estate agent in your area, someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer, someone you can trust. Huh, real estate agents, I trust. So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home or both, get in touch with them, you'll see exactly what I mean. Real

estateagents.I trust.com. Real estate agents, I trust.com. because what we do in life echoes in eternity. Now, I should not have said that line because all I can think about is the movie Gladiator. And I haven't seen it in quite some time. So I may have to break it out and watch it again. It's one of my all-time favorite movies. I mean, really, ever. And, I mean, I named my son Maximus because of that movie.

I know. Don't look at me like that. But you can follow me on my social media accounts. at Jeffie JFR on X. Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram and Facebook. You can follow me on my YouTube page Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.

And you can email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I don't respond to all of them, but I do see them. And I appreciate all your emails, Chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You know, speaking of movies, I see where Despicable Me Four was the number one movie coming out of the big weekend, the big three-day weekend. 75 million domestically. Wow. Expanding the

122.6 million over five days, raking in 230 million globally. Inside out, number two, 30 million domestically. That puts their total to 533.8 million domestically and well over a billion dollars globally. One of the fastest growing films of all time, a quiet place day one, plunge 60% in its second week. Ooh, that's not good. The 21 million totaling 94%.

4.4 million domestically, 178.1 million globally. Well, it's still hanging in there. Okay. Then Maxine, Max, with three X's, A-24's Trilogy Ender, starring Mia Gauth, open to 6.7 million domestically, outperforming its predecessors, and promising a strong future in horror. Okay. And number five, bad boys ride or die? Where is Horizon on this list? being its fifth weekend, bad boys ride or die, pulled in another 6.6 million, bringing

his total to 177.4 million? Wow. I guess Will Smith still has a little bit left in the tank. Number six, here's Horizon, an American saga, Saga, Chapter 1, despite no change in theater count. Wow, I mean, that's like a slam. Oh, no change in theater count. It still fell 50%. 5.48 million domestically with a total of 22.2 million. Ooh, that is not good for Kevin. And I enjoyed it, but that's not good for Kevin. And then Sound of Hope, story of possum trot from Angel Studios. Number seven, Calke, 2898 AD, the sci-fi adventure continued to drop.

I don't even remember what that movie is. The bike riders, a third weekend. Yeah, I got to see this movie. Get it to streaming, would you? I want to see this movie, but I don't want to see it at the theaters. Brought in 1.3 million. And number 10,

Kinds of Kindness. That's a heartwarming drama. Added 860,000 to his third weekend, pushing its total to 3.8 million domestically. And the theaters are happy. According to this, the theater's income rose 18.1% from last year. So the post-pandemic cinema is

back, baby, and they can charge whatever they want for their snacks because people are going to the theater. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. Oh, my gosh, I'm yapping about the movies. I haven't even been to the break room yet. All right, let's go to the break room because I need something cold to drink desperately. All right, so I did watch Beverly Hills Cop Axel F on Netflix, which dropped this weekend. And, uh, okay, you know what, uh, it was exactly what I expected it to be. It's the Beverly Hills cop one that is now Axel F. I mean, he brought back all the, all the players was, uh, really, I mean, it was cool to see them. I know there. Everybody's getting old. I get it, but they all came back. I will say that it did explain to me. I didn't realize Kevin Bacon was in it.

And I was kind of wondering to myself, why? am I seeing Kevin Bacon everywhere these days? Well, that's why he's in the Axel F, Beverly Hills cop movie on Netflix. And I know that there's a big story about Kevin. I used to use prosthetics so I could experience life as a normal person. And I just, this sucks. I used to go out and, you know, I have a face that's pretty recognizable. Yeah, no kidding, Kevin.

but he did an interview with Vanity Fair, and he said, I went to a special effects makeup artist, and I asked them to make me a prosthetic disguise. And so I added accessories, and I ventured out with nose and teeth. Then I, people were kind of pushing past me, not being very nice.

Nobody said, I love you. I had to wait in line. I don't know, buy a effing coffee or whatever. And I was like, this sucks. I want to go back to being famous. Yeah, okay, Kev. All right. No problem.

We got it. Anyway, the Beverly Hills Cop Axel F. I mean, I don't know what Netflix paid Eddie to come back and make Beverly Hills Cop Axel F. But it's just a rewrite of one, including darn near the soundtrack. And I know they, oh, no, what about his daughter? I know. I know. Everything.

It's the same. It's the same as one. only, you know, 30 years later or 40 years later, however long ago it was. If you like Beverly Hills Cop, you'll love this movie. It was fun. It was good to see Eddie back as Axel Foley, but it's the same stuff. And I got, when it was over, I was the same thing. My wife is, what did you expect?

I don't know. I don't know what I expected, but this is what we got. So is it worth a watch? Yeah. Is it worth anything? I don't know. I mean, I guess, I guess this was. was I read an article that talked about how Netflix is trying to get Eddie to do a couple of standups for them,

paying him, I don't know, $70 or $80 million or whatever he wants. So maybe this was just a throwaway, I don't know, $20 or $30 million to Eddie and say, hey, go ahead and make your movie and then do a couple standouts for us, will you? I think that's really the case. Oh, and I see where Sundance Film Festival, you know, Robert Redford's, the indie film festival. Looking like it may go to Minneapolis. Wow, do you really want to go to

Minneapolis, Robert? I don't think so. But they're making the case. They've got a big tagline. You couldn't cast a better location. Minnesota's most populous metropolis is among the selected cities. Is it? I guess so. Target CEO, Best Buy,

and the parent company of U.S. Bank is backing the Minneapolis proposal and they're saying that they're promising at least two million a year to sustain and grow the festival. So will Robert choose Minneapolis? Maybe. Is it going to go back to Park City, Utah? I don't know. But Minneapolis, I don't know if that's the right call. Robert, you know what, call me. Email me chewing the fads of blaze.com. Maybe you and I can, you know, spend a few days talking back and forth and we'll get you a location for sunda. It's all right. And I know the mayor of Minneapolis is pitching the city as the slick coffee table overview.

It's home to one of the largest urban Native American communities, having a long history of inclusion, forward-thinking policies, and being a proud pioneer in embracing the LGBTQ plus and two-spirit community. It's the hometown of Prince, and, you know, it's a place to go. that's better than Park City, Utah. I mean, that's a pitch for many cities to get Sundance. Hey, we're not Park City. That's my tagline for whatever city I choose.

We're not Park City. Choose us. I mean, it may go back to Park City. Minneapolis may be the choice. It's not going to be somewhere in Florida, that's for sure. Probably not in Texas. If it was going to come to Texas, it would be Austin. And I'm in Austin's, I don't know.

We'll see. We'll see what Robert Redford wants out of his Sundance Film Festival City. But I wouldn't be surprised if it just stays in Park City. Although if you get a hold of me, Robert, I would vote for maybe Boise, Idaho. If you want to stay in that neck of the woods, Boise is beautiful and has a little bit more access than Park City. And I would just choose Boise. That's just me. Boise.

Put in your offer because I think it would be well worth it. You're welcome, Boise. I'm on your side for this. Hey, those of you that are using your children in your little Instagram accounts, I didn't know it was called sharenting, but that's apparently a new name that it's called when you use your children in your social media platforms, sharenting. Well, there's a new Illinois law that aims to protect children of influencers.

went into effect earlier this month. Earlier this month, so, I mean, like, went into effect seven days ago. The update to the state's child labor laws that children under the age of 16 must be compensated if they are in 30% or more of their parents' paid content. So that includes videos on social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. The earnings can be big. Yeah, well, they can't be. be big, but are we making that much money? Some top influences rake in millions of dollars.

Yeah, they do. Even smaller ones earn $700, $700 a post. Yeah, but are these parents earning this for their influence account? Maybe. Maybe they are. If they are, I'm doing something wrong. Apparently under the new law, the money must go into a trust that the children can access when they turn 18. As adults, they'll also have the option to require. that videos be deleted if they are featured in them. And I guess there's no enforcement of the law. The state can't make you comply to it except that the kids can then sue their parents, which is always good when you have children suing their parents.

That's great. So I guess Illinois is now leading the way in fighting child exploitation on these damn family vlogging channels. We won't have it anymore. This sharing thing has to stop. It's the first state, Illinois. So, I mean, who's next? California, probably.

I'm surprised California isn't leading the way. Washington maybe, yeah, I'm surprised they're not. Massachusetts, Maryland. I'm surprised those states aren't leading the way. The measure comes as experts warn the risks of sharenting, outweigh the benefits, do they? Incidents in recent years have also raised concerns about really what goes on behind the scenes of these family vlogging channels.

Yeah, there's been a couple that have had some problems because they're whacked out of their mind. So because we've had a couple that are whacked out of their mind, everyone must pay. Yep, that's the way it is, Jeff. Okay, no problem. So if you're in Illinois and you are an influencer, and I'm sure there are just millions of influencers out of Illinois who are sharenting on their social media platforms, you better have a trust fund set up for your kids or they're going to sue you at the end of the day. or when they turn 18 actually.

It's the matcha or the three ensemble Cicero of the FACTA that I just denichie who energize o'clock? Mm, it's the ensemble. The format standard and mini-regrouped, what old are men? And the embellage, too beau, who is practically pre-a-doned.

And I know that I'd love these offriars, but I guard the Summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. I'm, I'm sure. The most ensemble, the Codesonsomede of Cicator dee the Fesferra Gallery, Way, SIFara Collection, and other, part of

Vite. Procurre you see form of standard and mini, regrouped for a better quality price. On link on C4A. or in magazine. Who died today?

Who died today? Well, let's begin with actor Mike Hesslin. Mike Heslin, dead at the age of 30. You would know him from Special Ops Lioness, which was really good.

I really enjoyed that series. And he died of an unexpected cardiac arrest. Huh. What could it be? Well, we don't know. His husband and a soulmate announced that he had passed away from the unexpected cardiac event after a week-long battle in the hospital. Michael was young in perfect help, and doctors have no explanation for what happened.

Huh. I'm sure it wasn't anything to do with that. I know what you're thinking, but it couldn't have been because if it was, they would have said something. They would have had an explanation, and instead they don't have an explanation. So rest in peace, Mike Haslin, dead at the age of 30. Then we have John Landau. Yes, John Landau, dead at the age of 63, the Oscar winning producer.

He has produced some of the world's highest grossing movies of all times. Titanic Avatar, just to name a couple. Apparently, he'd been battling cancer for a little while, and it, you know, defeated him, as it usually does. Very sad. So John Landau, Oscar-winning producer, dead at the age of 63. Then we have a Vikings rookie quarterback Kyrie Jackson dead. Wow, at the age of 24.

So sad. He was in a car crash. Nothing to do with him, by the way. It was a three-car crash that occurred at 3.14 a.m. In Prince George's County. And according to police, two other guys that were teammates of Jackson's, Isaiah Hazel and Anthony Leighton Jr., also died in the crash. And of course, the person that hit them,

apparently they were saying that it was a drunk driver. I don't know that that's been confirmed yet. They believe that alcohol played a role. So when the police believe that alcohol played a role, that's probably true. I don't know that. I don't know that. It's just what they said.

So this Infinity Q50 attempted to change lanes at high speed and then hit a charger, his car, the judge charger, which left the road and hit, Three trees. Very sad. Very sad. Of course, none of the other people involved in this crash died. Just these three young men. Very sad.

Rest in peace to Kyrie Jackson, who is dead at the age of 24. And Isaiah Hazel, 23. And Anthony Leight, Jr., 24. All dead. Rest in peace. Then we have the, National Zoo's oldest sea lion dead at the age of 19. I know it's sad.

Summer, the oldest sea lion at Smithsonian's National Zoo is now dead at the age of 19. How did Summer die? Well, we killed her. What? Yeah. Summer got sick. We didn't know what was wrong with her. And we gave her some fluids and some antibiotics and some steroids.

and Jesus, it just didn't seem to help. So you know what we're going to do? We're just going to kill her. Yes. I mean, of course, she was humanely euthanized. Yeah, I mean, I make it seem like they just killed her. They humanely euthanized her. She was 19.

Now, most of these sea lions live to be, I don't know, in their 20s. So they don't know what happened. Now, this particular sea lion was abandoned by her mother. so maybe the mother knew something that we did and just said get out of here you get out of here you sickly thing you're not going to make it go die somewhere on your own and then we as humans intervened and took care of her and brought her to the zoo and let people laugh and have fun with her until uh you know finally she got too sick and she you know started getting sick and couldn't make it and she always kept us on our toes did she

Did she always keep you on her toe? Yeah, okay. All right. So, rest in peace to summer, the oldest sea lion at Smithsonian's National Zoo. Well, no longer the oldest, but was the oldest, who was humanely euthanized at the age of 19. You know, speaking of sea life, I see where four people were attacked by a shark. and I'm saying by a shark, we don't really know if it was one shark or multiple sharks,

but they believe that it was just one shark who disrupted this, I don't know, Fourth of July vacationing down there on Padre Island. Two people take it to the hospital, at least one of them severely. Police were called for the attack of one man who was severely bitten around 11 a.m. Then a couple more people got bitten.

So those people went, oh, it's fine. I guess that shark's gone. I'll go back into the ocean. Maybe they should have waited, but they didn't. And then they believe that they sent out the drones and they sent out the Game Warden. And everyone said,

yeah, it's probably that six-foot shark that's wandering around out there. So why don't you just take it easy? Look, we haven't had a shark attack in five years. So it's just one shark that's a little angry. And, you know, he doesn't realize that's the 4th of July. weekend so let's just hold off for a little bit.

I am continually reminded of remember a video, my gosh, so long ago now, probably, I don't know, eight, nine, ten years ago from Veronica Poonash, who gave us some information that I think could bode well and maybe you should listen to it when you're going out to swim in the ocean where sharks are. Praise the Lord, everybody. that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and eat meat in it. Hallelujah. I'm on my way to church this morning, but I wanted to make a quick video because my spirit

was troubled this morning. I had the news on, it was talking about somebody else and got ate up by a shark. I want you all to be mindful. When you're vacationing, you know, you're going to the beach, do that, go to the beach. Don't go to the ocean, okay? The ocean is the shark's house, okay? Okay, I'm not, and I can swim. I can swim.

My whole body is a flotation device. My whole body is a flotation device. I don't have to do nothing to float, but I can't swim. Now, just so you know, Veronica Poonash is, you know, a large African-American black lady, if you hadn't surmised that. Suspect and it has my Negro membership card in question, because most black people can't swim, but I can swim. But I'm not going to the ocean because that's the Sharks House.

Think about it. right to eat you up with you in his house. Think about it. If chickens come in my house, guess what? They get eight. They get eight. When peas come in my house, they own the plate. So when you go in the shark's house, you're going to get eight up, okay?

Think about it. So I want you to be safe. I want you to be happy. You know, let's use some common sense. Thank you. Go to the beach. Go to the beach. Go to the beach.

You watch the ocean from a distance, okay? Please be safe. Safety first. I don't want to hear about nobody. from the meat ministry being shark bait. Okay, and stay out the woods, too. Don't go, don't go footing around with the bears either. Think about it.

That's what they're supposed to do because you in their house. Thank you. That's what they're supposed to do because you and their house. So just remember what Veronica Poonash told us. When the chicken comes in my house,

guess what? That's going to get eight. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you don't have to be. to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Handpicked

the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshalls. We get the deals.

You gift the good stuff. All right, a couple things that we need to look forward to this week. We have the, oh my man, Alec Ball. Aldwin. His trial begins tomorrow. Unbelievable. I am looking forward to that.

I will be covering it in-depth here on chewing the fat. They pick the jury starting tomorrow. He's facing 18 months in prison. Come on now. For the death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins on the Rust set nearly three years ago. So he's accused of firing that handgun that killed Elena Hutchins. And he, you know, has claimed all along. Have, I pulled the hammer, not the trigger.

The armorer for the movie, a former armorer for the movie, Hannah Guterres Reid, she was sentenced to 18 months in prison for involuntary manslaughter back in April. So I don't know how they turn this around on Alec, but it definitely gives me a chance to talk about him and use my gunshots for his name. So as this trial continues for the next, I don't know, two or three weeks, maybe longer, any time that we cover the trial. Just as a reminder, when you hear me use his name, Alec, you'll hear that.

And when I say his full name, Alec Baldwin, you'll hear that. Those are the rules of the show. Just got to follow the rules. Then we got news that John Sina told the crowd in Toronto that he's going to retire from the WWE next year in 2025. You know, good, goodbye, John. I know everybody loves John Sina. I do not.

But whatever, he's going to retire from WWE. Bye. I don't know why he's still in it. He's still, you know, he's making all his money from his stupid movies. He does hold a world record, though, which kind of ticks me off. He does hold a Guinness World Record for the most wishes, granted through a make-a-wish foundation. What? Yes.

He owns the most wishes granted through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. More than 650. No one else comes remotely close. That actually is really cool. Good for him. You know, even though he kind of bugs me, but good. That's really nice.

And he's going to be hosting Shark Week, which begins, I don't know, when is the Shark Week? That's coming up, right? the 36th year of Shark Week. Wow. 36th year of Shark Week. And remember what our girl, Veronica Poonash told us. So we'll see if John Cena comments about what Veronica Poonash said. I doubt it.

I doubt it. And when we have a president stepping away from the race, President Joe Biden, I doubt it. I don't think he's going anywhere. He already sent a letter today to Congress. And they're coming back. to D.C. since the presidential debate, this is their first day back. So it's a crucial week, is it? He's not going anywhere. There's no way that he is leaving.

He's made that perfectly clear. They're going to have to drag him and Jill and Hunter now out of that White House if they want him to get out of the race. And that is not happening. And plus, now he's going to be ready for big speeches today. It's NATO's 75th anniversary. And he loves NATO. and we love that. It was founded in 1949. It's the mutual defense alliance to counter the Soviet Union. And after 75 years, it's still together. And it's a 32 member state. And we're looking to add Ukraine, even though we told Russia we wouldn't.

And we lied to them. So what? It doesn't matter. And even though Russia says, hey, don't let the Ukraine into the NATO. So we're still, it's inevitable. I mean, the guy, just be ready for that. just going to be agonizing I guarantee you that

then since we're coming off the 4th of July weekend and it's very important I had this sent to me and I think that it's time that we well we break out the rules of barbecue for the summer okay I don't know that I don't know that we went over this

this year yet because we usually go over it and I had this sent to me and it was sent to me under the guys this is accurate in my home how about yours? And this is just barbecue rules for the season. It is barbecue season, right?

Okay, so number one, the woman buys the food. Number two, the woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert. Number three, the woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill, beer in hand.

The woman remains outside the compulsory three-meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities could take place without the interference of the woman. And number five, the man places the meat on the grill. Number six, the woman goes inside to organize the plates and the cutlery. Number seven, the woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat. Again, the man takes the meat off. the grill and hands it to the woman. The woman prepares the plates, the salad,

the bread, the utensils, the napkin, sauces, and brings them to the table. After eating, the woman cleanses the table and does the dishes. Most important of all, number 11, everyone praises the man and thanks him for his cooking efforts. The man asks the woman how she enjoyed her night

off, and upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes there's just no pleasing some women. Hey, those are the rules. Those are barbecue rules. I didn't write them, but you know, you have to follow rules, right? Right. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
