Starting point is 00:00:22 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 186653300 or visit Comex Ontario.com. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Former Congressman, disgraced congressman, George Santos, has been, you know, he got kicked out of Congress. He's been found guilty of identity theft and wire fraud. He's not a good guy. And they found that he was using a taxpayer.
Starting point is 00:01:00 money for uh Botox treatments and he's just not a good guy but he does his own podcast called pants on fire and he was also uh and in that podcast
Starting point is 00:01:16 he continues to do because they lengthened his sentencing the judge said hey no problem will we'll wait until April 25th because the government kind of misrepresented the amount of money that he had because he was supposed to pay back a bunch of money,
Starting point is 00:01:33 and they misrepresented the money that he made. They said he made over $400,000 on Cameo. I guess that was only $300,000. I will say this. I am not coming close to that, and I'm a little disheartened on that on my cameo. That is not what I'm making on Cameo. If I was making that on Cameo,
Starting point is 00:01:57 I'd be a very, very heavy man. Anyway, he's doing his podcast. That's at Jeffrey JFR on the Cameo app, by the way. Anyway, so he's making money from this podcast. So the judge said, hey, you know, you can continue to work. And that's what makes him money. So he was on another podcast, of course, this Jim Norton's podcast. And Jim asked him who the smelliest member of Congress won.
Starting point is 00:02:24 The question actually was about breath. who had the smelliest breath in Congress. And Santos then said, well, I don't know about breath, but the worst body odor in Congress, Jerry Nadler, the congressman from New York. Now, we all know that. When you see Jerry, you think body odor. I mean, you just do.
Starting point is 00:02:50 But he said that it's so bad. He said Jerry Nadler just stinks. Dude, stinks. and he uses a line that is awesome. And that's really, really funny. And I don't even know if it's real or true, but I love it. So let's just say that Jerry and Adler is the smelliest guy in Congress. And all he does is fart when he's at work.
Starting point is 00:03:15 And he said he would waddle down the aisle and crop dust. Every waddle. was a fart. I mean, that is hilarious. And so go ahead, George, keep making your money on OnlyFans and using the Botox because you'll, you'll be going to jail soon.
Starting point is 00:03:42 But we still, you know, we still want you out there, especially if you're going to, you know, dish what we believe or we want to be the truth. There, Jerry Nadler is the stinkiest, smelliest member of Congress. Jerry, welcome to the program. And also welcome to chewing the fat. Good to have you along.
Starting point is 00:04:08 So now NASA has revised the percentage of asteroid 2024 Y24 again. But this time they went in the other direction. It was at 3.1%. Now NASA says, you know what? It's 1.5%. Yeah, we did that wrong. Really? Yeah, sure, we raised it two or three times.
Starting point is 00:04:37 You know, and now we're thinking, oh, man, no, you know what? We're good. It's 1.5%. Oh, okay. So is it likely to hit the earth? Nah, we're fine. I don't even worry about it. Sure, we're looking into it.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And we'd like to have the likelihood of it ending up on Earth zero, but we really really don't know. Come to think of it, you know, we tell you that the size is 180 feet. Yeah. We just not, we're not sure about that either. It could be bigger. Could be higher. That's what's
Starting point is 00:05:13 happening to get an asset right now. Dude, you can't tell them it's over 3%. Okay, we got to knock that back down again to like 1.5, you know, something like that. And then we'll tell them that we're good. Okay, because after 3%, they're starting to get
Starting point is 00:05:29 worried. You can't do that, okay? So who knows what's going to happen? We've got China, we've got the U.S., all looking at ways to stop the asteroid. They claim that they could blow it up easy, but getting there is the problem. Well, yeah, I mean, we have to launch now. They have not changed the year to 2032. And I mean, we all know. that the documentary Armageddon showed that we have to drill. And so, sure, you can fire all the nukes you have at her and she just laugh at you and keep on common. But so we have to drill.
Starting point is 00:06:11 You know, what happens? What happens when you have a firecracker in your hand and it's open in your hand and it goes off, what happens? You burn your hand. What happens if you close your fist? Your wife's going to be opening and you have a tip bottle for the rest of your life. I mean, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Don't get me started on the documentary of, Armageddon. I love that stupid movie. Anyway, so anyway, we're safer now than we were just two days ago. Safer because we have less of a chance of asteroid 2024 Y24 of hitting the Earth. So that's good news. Speaking of space, we were already going to get rid of the ISS, the International Space Station,
Starting point is 00:07:01 by 2030 in another five or six years. But now Elon is recommending, yeah, you know what, let's get rid of that thing now. Let's get a couple years at the most. Let's go. I think we need to deorbit that thing as soon as possible. And then let's go to Mars, which is what he wants to do anyway. But I don't know, we haven't, we don't have a base on the moon yet because the plan was to have a base built on the moon so that that would be our launching point to Mars.
Starting point is 00:07:31 right so that you uh you send a bunch of stuff up to the moon and then that gets sent to mars and the original team that goes to mars they're not coming back all right there that their life is over and Elon made the joke in this interview with trump oh i want to go to mars and i you know i'll die on mars but not on impact ah ha ha ha ha oh that's funny anyway so if you go to mars then you know you're there. You're there because the original team and maybe the first couple of teams, you're starting from scratch with whatever you have bring with you. You're starting from scratch and you have to build an infrastructure there.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Then we can start talking about, you know, laws and rules and everything else to go on there if it happens, which I highly doubt. And I know Elon believes that we are. Calm down. And so I just don't know that we are But I just know that they're looking at getting rid of the ISS Faster than what they had originally planned now Because Elon's in Trump's ear saying
Starting point is 00:08:39 Just get rid of it, just get rid of it We need to get rid of the ISS We need to stop spending money on the ISS We need to stop that We need to stop that And then in the other ear, go to Mars, go to Mars, SpaceX needs more money Go to Mars, go to Mars, go to Mars,
Starting point is 00:08:54 SpaceX needs more money, go to Mars I is he's just a joke I don't think Elon is asking Trump for more money but do you probably get it and we've got there's a tremendous book out there a city on Mars it's called and it's by Zach Weiner Smith
Starting point is 00:09:15 and his wife and they wrote this it's really fascinating I listened to an interview of with her about it and they go into what has to happen for it for for for us to thrive on this planet and what will have to happen when we create
Starting point is 00:09:36 a whole world a new world on this planet and you've got to develop uh you know first you're going have to develop the technology the rocket technology to ferry humans back and forth which we have not done uh by the way we do not have our launching pad from the moon to mars that's not even close but then you're talking about laws, you're talking about births, you're talking about who survives and who doesn't, and what happens if, you know, you get pregnant and we find out that your baby has something wrong with it? Do we let it survive?
Starting point is 00:10:18 Or do we move on? Because it's just going to be a hindrance to our survival now. I don't know. It's tough. Let alone the infrastructure, let alone the food, all of it. It's just, it's fascinating. It's called the city on Mars. And a lot of things that you might not think of that, you know, like, I'm happy to be the guy that makes the laws. But they probably don't want me making laws.
Starting point is 00:10:47 And do you want Elon? Do you want Elon making the laws on Mars? And who does make the laws? and since it's the United someone from the United States we're saying if Elon is the one to go there first you know that are all
Starting point is 00:11:03 the people going there the first time around from the United States or are they global so what rules and laws and things just so much to think about and on top of which we're not going to Mars
Starting point is 00:11:18 I you know I love the thought of it And it's fascinating to me, let's go. But we do not have the technology to launch a rocket when it's cloudy out, let alone go to Mars. Okay, let's be clear about that. So right now, it is just a pipe dream. 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.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Conditions apply. So until we move to Mars, and you have to worry about real estate on Mars, you still have to worry about real estate here on Earth. And any time that you have to make a big change, it's hard. And that's true when you're planning to buy or sell a home on this planet. So it's really complicated. It takes a lot of time, a lot of jumping through hoops. And, of course, the stakes are just a bit of. about as high as they ever get in terms of financial decisions that you make.
Starting point is 00:12:38 So it's obvious. You need a real estate agent to help you with all of this. But what you don't want is just some ordinary agent who does this on the side. You want the best. And I have a way for you to get the best. Go to real estate agents I trust. Realestateagents.I trust.com. It pairs you with the top selling real estate agent in your area.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Someone who knows the best practices. someone who knows, understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer, and most importantly, someone you can trust. So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home on this planet, or both, please get in touch with them. You'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Real estate agents I trust is the name,
Starting point is 00:13:25 and that pretty much says it all. Real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com. Speaking of moving, I see where there's big to do that In-N-Out Burger is leaving California. Well, no, no, they're not. Everybody was going crazy because
Starting point is 00:13:45 In-N-Out is a California staple. They got started there. They've always claimed that they loved California. And then we got news that they were, had a big office building that they were going to open up in Tennessee. So everybody thought, In-N-Out burger is moving to Tennessee? And in and Out Burger had to clarify, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:14:07 We're not leaving California. It's simply relocating from Irvine to Baldwin Park. So they're moving the locations in California. And they're building an eastern headquarters in Nashville, in Tennessee. So they're not leaving California. They're still going to be in California just in Baldwin Park, not Irvine. and they're moving their eastern headquarters to Tennessee because they're expanding and they want the United House of the rooms.
Starting point is 00:14:43 So if some employees were given the option to relocate to Tennessee if they chose. So just let you know. Let's let you know. California still has Inan Out Burger. Why I don't know, get out of there, Inan Out Burger. I'm a fan, but get out. But one company that's been a mainstom, stay in a state is moving.
Starting point is 00:15:06 KFC. Now, when you think of Kentucky fried chicken, Kentucky fried chicken, Colonel Sanders, Kentucky. Kentucky fried chicken. That's the name. Although they change that, it's just KFC now. Because they didn't, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:23 we don't want to be associated with fried foods. Oh, okay. So it's KFC. But they are hitting the bricks. and moving out of Kentucky. They don't want to be in Kentucky anymore. In fact, they're moving to Texas. And they're moving to Plano, Texas,
Starting point is 00:15:42 which is part of the DFW, the greater Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Plano, Texas. So Yum Brands, who has KFC under their umbrella, said about 100 KFC employees will be relocated to a new office in Plano, Texas. I mean, Yom owns Pizza. Hut, Taco Bell, Habit Burger and Grill. They own
Starting point is 00:16:07 quite a lot. Quite a lot. And so they said, Yum, said that it's a larger shift to two corporate hubs in Plano and Irvine, California. So there's
Starting point is 00:16:23 the same way. Yum is saying, yeah, we're still going to be in California. We like you in California. But we're going to be in Texas. Now, and in and out to go into Tennessee. It's a little disappointing. I don't know that I like that.
Starting point is 00:16:38 In and out should be here. But go ahead. You want to be... You know what? It's your company. Do what you want. Fine. Oh, and good news.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Yay. He's back on X. So that's good news. He posted on X after further reflection, I've come to the realization that I'm not a Nazi. Oh, that's great.
Starting point is 00:17:04 That's fantastic. I'm glad you finally realized that. Yay. I know. I know. Apparently, according to inside sources, yay has relapsed and is inhaling nitrous oxide. Oh.
Starting point is 00:17:23 So, not that I've ever done that before, but maybe you want to back off a little, yeah. You know, you've got a lot going on. So apparently, he has, had to get some dental work done, which they gave him some nitrous, which got him back into, oh, this is really good. I'm going to give me some more.
Starting point is 00:17:45 And, uh, because I, if you get the little, uh, the little whip it, and you have a whip it holder, and then you crack it and it pops open and you, and, uh, I would never, I, I'm just telling you, I don't recommend that for anyone. Uh, it's been a long time, actually. it's been a long, long time. But that's what we're being told. Is that true? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Is it true that Yeh, perhaps, is one of those people, we've all known the people that are whacked out of their minds, and then they get on medication that helps them not be whacked out of their mind. Then, because they're not whacked out of their mind on the medication, they think they don't need the medication. And so they stop taking the medication, and then they get whacked out of their mind again. and then they get whacked out of their mind again
Starting point is 00:18:36 and someone says, dude, yay, you're whacked out of your mind, bro. You're not a Nazi and things are really screw it up. You need to get back on your medication again. So then they get back out of their medication again and they start realizing that they are now,
Starting point is 00:18:55 you know, that's what we realize they're not whacked out of their mind anymore. And so now we're going through a time of where that person is not whacked out of their mind. It's a struggle, man. It is a really, really hard struggle when you have anyone in your life that's like that. Believe me, I know. And if you're on X, looking for Ye, you might as well follow me at Jeffrey JFR on X.
Starting point is 00:19:21 You can follow me on Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio, and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can follow me on my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You can, I mentioned earlier, you can order a cameo from me at Jeffrey JFR on the Cameo app really bummed. I mean, if Santos is making hundreds of thousands of dollars on Cameo, my cameos are not free. Maybe I need to up the price.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I don't know. I don't know what's happening, but my Cameo experience is fine, and I'm not dissatisfied with the money that I've earned on Cameo, but it isn't hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'll tell you that. And so if you want to help me reach my goal of hundreds of thousands of dollars,
Starting point is 00:20:04 on Cameo. It's at Jeffrey JFR on the Cameo app. That'd be, well, I'd appreciate it. Thank you. And you could, and make sure you tell your friends about the podcast, too, because I'd like to have,
Starting point is 00:20:17 you know, we always need more subscribers and more listeners to Chewing the Fat. And you can email the show anytime, chewing the fat at theblaze.com, chewing the fat at theblaze.com. I see all your emails. Appreciate it. If you want to be a contestant on what's the lie,
Starting point is 00:20:33 which we play on Fridays, email chewing the fat of the blaze.com. If you have an idea for a joke of the day, you can do that, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. If you want to tell me a story about your life, you can email me that as well. And I read them. I don't necessarily comment on them all,
Starting point is 00:20:55 but I read them. And I will say that if you send me an email, it's possible I may talk about it. So if you want to share things with me, fine, you can share things with me but I'm not promising they won't end up on the air.
Starting point is 00:21:12 So there's just that. Just telling you up front. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So apparently, Netflix is looking for podcasters, for
Starting point is 00:21:36 to be be, you know, on Netflix as part of their new kind of, they're looking at podcasts for video versions. So they want to have video podcasts as a smart retention play. I agree 100%. And I would just like to say, hello, my name is Jeff Fisher. This is chewing the fat. Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Now they say, well, we're looking at it. You know, maybe we're talking to call her. daddy. Come on. She just signed a new deal for like a couple hundred million. You're not going to outdo that, Netflix. You don't you're not going to outdo that bitch, okay. Get rid of her.
Starting point is 00:22:20 So it's a good idea. Actually, that's a good idea for Netflix to get into. They want to talk about they license existing shows ad free. Netflix is hungry for exclusive content from marquee names. You know, like Jeff Fisher,
Starting point is 00:22:37 chewing the fat. and they would you know that would position that would go up against YouTube and if you went to Netflix and here's an idea and I'm just going to throw this out as a consultant
Starting point is 00:22:49 if you want to get a hold of me in I won't do this is for free today's today's free for you today Netflix anymore you're going to have to work out a deal but if you're the way you have Netflix set up
Starting point is 00:23:04 you should have a Netflix podcast section. And, you know, and just do that. Just do that. No question. And you could put that only on the ad tiered that you want to sell. Because, you know, you're going to make some money.
Starting point is 00:23:24 And you really want to put, you've been pushing your ad tiered. You know, you don't want people to have it for free anymore. We're going to keep raising the prices on that. You want people to spend less money, but get the ad, have the ads on there. or Netflix accounts. So, you know, maybe you do that. And I see where Netflix is investing a billion dollars in Mexico's cinema and television industry.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Como is on? Anyway. Yeah. Hello. I'm all over this for you, Netflix. I'm the guy. I mean, we just heard that they're investing in what's her face is, uh, uh, what's their face, Megan Markle's business.
Starting point is 00:24:04 They're investing in Netflix. My gosh. Jeff, I'm here. you okay you're giving money everywhere else in the world what's wrong with me why don't you love me why what's wrong with me it's not you jeff it's them oh okay all right i feel better now no problem you see where uh also this weekend uh if you're listening live today is the uh 21st of february 20 25 um 21st i mean we're almost done with february we're almost done with february it's almost gone. I see where Prime dropped Reacher. The first three episodes of Reacher season three
Starting point is 00:24:43 dropped yesterday. So I'll be catching that this weekend. Of course, you know, they can't, I don't want him to drop the whole show. Whatever you do, don't drop the whole show so I can just binge it this weekend. Don't do that. Make me wait every week for a new episode. Do that for about the next six or seven weeks. I know. I don't want to shoot my TV because I don't know who else. I'm not going to shoot anybody at Prime. but I don't want to shoot my TV, but it's just agonizing. They dropped three episodes, which I will binge watch, no problem, and then I'm going to have to wait.
Starting point is 00:25:15 So, well, Jeff, a smart person would go ahead and not watch them all at once. Then you'd save some time. Do you know me? No, I'm not doing that. It's binge. We're watching it. And I really am going to be, at the end of three, that's going to be bummed.
Starting point is 00:25:33 We have to wait a week. Wait till next week for the next week for the, the new episode. It's just we've got, I mean, we've got to wait every Thursday for that to drop.
Starting point is 00:25:43 And that's okay. It's not bad. It's not Max. It's all right. It's the ER drama. You know, and you've got the weekly network shows that you have to wait to watch.
Starting point is 00:25:53 You know, to wait on it. It's not Thursday. It's not Friday. It's not Tuesday. It's not Wednesday. You've got to wait for the day for it to drop.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Well, the network shows just, you know, obviously gets DVR. But for the streaming shows, on Prime and Max and Netflix. And I see they've already started filming the Lincoln Lawyer, which I'm excited about.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Netflix still drops the whole shows, which I love you for that, Netflix. I do. I thank you for that. And I've got some shows to catch up on a Netflix, but it'll be a reacher for sure this weekend. Absolutely. I was trying to remember why I was mad at him
Starting point is 00:26:34 because he did some interview. and he really made me angry. And then my wife was, why are you trying to remember what made you mad? Because then you're just going to be, it's going to be tough to watch it. And you know what? She's right.
Starting point is 00:26:46 So I'm going to forget about what he said in an interview that made me mad. And I'm just going to move on and just watch the series because I've enjoyed the heck out of the series. But what's his face? Reacher, Reikman, is that his name? Reitman, Alan Reikman, or whatever's name is. He said some agonizing things in an interview.
Starting point is 00:27:04 And I was really, disappointed in him. That's right. He thought that Trump was a rapist and a con man in an interview. And I haven't heard him say anything. There hasn't been reported that he's said anything like that since.
Starting point is 00:27:20 And this was back in April of last year, so almost a year ago. And I think his people were like, hey, Alan, why don't you stop saying that? You could still believe it on the inside. Just stop saying it on the outside. Because
Starting point is 00:27:40 you know, first of all is Trump a rapist? No. And ABC just paid him a bunch of millions of dollars for calling him that. So maybe you ought to not say that anymore, Alan. And is he a con man?
Starting point is 00:27:58 Is there ever been a president that wasn't a con man? Ah, you know the answer to that. It's hockey season and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice?
Starting point is 00:28:31 Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no. But chicken tenders, yes. Because those are groceries, and we deliver those too. Along with your favorite restaurant food, alcohol, and other everyday essentials. Order Uber Eats now. For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Product availability varies by region. See app for details. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Scott Sauerbeck. Scott Sauerbeck, former Major League Baseball relief pitcher, has passed away at the age of 53. Sowerback pitched seven seasons in Major League Baseball
Starting point is 00:29:10 and was best known for his five seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1999 to 2003. In 2002, he pitched in 78 games for the Pirates, which set the franchise records for most games pitched in a season by a left-handed pitcher. Wow, that's a... Congratulations on that record. And in 2014, Tony Watson tied Sauerbach's franchise record for the South Ball. So he doesn't even own that record anymore.
Starting point is 00:29:37 He's tied. So very sad. Scott Sauerbach at the age of 53 died of a heart attack. Huh. Huh. 53 years of age. former athlete, well, baseball player, and, you know, died of a heart attack.
Starting point is 00:29:57 That's interesting. I'm sure, absolutely sure, that it didn't have anything to do with that. Because if it would have had something to do with that, they would have said something, and they did not. They just blamed on heart attack. So, rest in peace, to Scott Sauerbeck, dead. the age of 53. Then we have this story out of the DRC.
Starting point is 00:30:26 That's the Democratic Republic of Congo, for those of you not in the know. Okay. But this story is actually really sad. Seventy Christians were discovered beheaded in a Protestant church. I know. Don't let me like that. I'm just telling you the story. So they apparently this terrorist group took over
Starting point is 00:30:50 town and said that they held them hostage for days and then these 70 Christians who lost their lives. It's not an isolated incident. Well, okay. The U.S.-based persecution watchdog international, I don't know if they get you said money or not. Maybe they're hurting for cash right now or they get U.N. money, not sure. But they said it was a brutal massacre and that ADF. held hostages for days before executing them.
Starting point is 00:31:25 So the Allied Democratic forces are terrorists in the DRC, and they have taken over villages, residents are scared. They took over this village, and they moved everybody out of their homes, and then they moved them into the church, and then they beheaded them. So rest in peace to all of those. 70 Christians who were beheaded in the DRC by the ADF. A lot of letters. A lot of letters happening there.
Starting point is 00:32:01 So the ICC president, Jeff King, said in a statement, 6 million lives have been lost in the DRC over two decades of on and off war. That came from the ICC president who was talking about the DRC. and the terrorists of the ADF. So there's that rest of peace. All those, please, my gosh, just horrific. Just horrific. Makes you want to go to the DRC on vacation, though, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:32:35 Yeah, it sure does. Let's go to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Yeah. Might not be a place to visit, okay? I'm just saying. Now we see we have also a massive. The Massachusetts Zoo, the Buttonwood Park Zoo, no one sports zoo is more than myself or this program, chewing the fat.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Apparently, we had the death of a 21-year-old harbor seal. Very sad. They claim that the harbor seal was killed because it got bird flu. So. We don't know if it was, infected from the wild bird because they were hanging out with each other. We don't know if the seal
Starting point is 00:33:23 ate the bird. We don't know, but we're just know that avian flu continues to affect a range of wild and domesticated animal populations. And so this is, you know, unique. Yes, but not far
Starting point is 00:33:40 from unique. Oh, okay. So the seal died a couple weeks ago. And while it was unexpected and incredibly upsetting to our staff, yeah. We, and they closed the zoo
Starting point is 00:33:56 because a seal died? Okay. All right. No, stop with one second here, please. I want to support zoos. I want to support zoos more than anyone. But I support you because you're open to the public.
Starting point is 00:34:14 You're sharing what you have. I think you'll be able to handle it. I know maybe the seal part of the zoo doesn't open for the day. Maybe the seal handlers take the day off or just hang out and be sad with the other seals. I don't know. But you don't close the zoo. I'm sorry, no. We have raised rest in peace to the harbor seal at the Buttonwood Zoo dead.
Starting point is 00:34:46 at the age of 21. And under the, well, it's not dead yet, but it will be soon. The SS United States, the historic 990-foot ocean liner, has now began its final journey. It's begun its final journey, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Okay, whatever. It either begun or began, but it's on its way. From Philadelphia to become the world's largest artificial reef of Florida's Gulf Coast.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Yeah, that'd be right off the Gulf of America coast, by the way. Tugboats are guarding the largest passenger ship built in America, nicknamed the Big U, to Mobile, Alabama, where the crew will remove hazardous materials, including fuel and process, will take at least a year. Oh, wow, it's going to take them that long. The ship more than 100 feet longer than the Titanic will then continue its journey before resting roughly 180 feet underwater and 20 miles off the coast of
Starting point is 00:35:50 Ocolaosa County, Florida. Ocaluusa County, Florida. The ship will sit upright on the sea floor becoming a habitat for marine life. The voyage follows a legal battle in decades of decay while the vessel has been anchored in Philadelphia. Yeah, it's been there a long time.
Starting point is 00:36:07 The SS United States ferried four U.S. presidents hosted numerous celebrities. Oh, like Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando and Grace Kelly. It's set transatlantic speed records and completed roughly 800 crossings until its retirement in 1969. Why did they retire the ship?
Starting point is 00:36:27 Oh, I know. We had airplanes. We didn't need ships anymore. Anyway, so it's going to be, it's still alive. So I guess they've got to be taking it through the rivers, right, to Mobile, Alabama. it can't be going all the way around Florida into Alabama and then bringing it back down south along the coast, right? It doesn't give where...
Starting point is 00:37:00 I've got to find the route now. Yeah, that's what they're doing. It's inland. They're not taking it the long route in the, you know, taking it from the Atlantic Ocean through the Caribbean, back up into the Gulf, and then up into Alabama. and then back down the coast and the Gulf nose.
Starting point is 00:37:21 So they're cutting through. Yeah, I see. I can see the GPS of the SS United States. So it'd be fun. You could get a chance to, if you get a chance to be able to get out there and see the tugs yanking that old-ass rusty ship down the river, ready to be a diving expedition for you and your kids off the coast. in Florida within, I don't know, a year or two.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Rest in peace, anyway, to the SS United States. It does sound, it doesn't sound right. It does not sound right. I think we needed to name it something else. It does sound like something that we don't want to be affiliated with anymore. The SS. I know what it makes me think of. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

That he forced his way onto the show to prove that the family, you know, could hold its own. And he did. And you did by winning last week. Now, can you do it for two weeks in a row?
Starting point is 00:40:28 I don't know. Hey, we're going for the four, Pete, here. Okay, that's, that's, that's all you get. You get a few, you know, I only know, the game, that's those are the rules. Those are the rules of the game show. What are you going to do? You got to follow the rules, right? I mean, it's not like I make the rules or anything.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Anyway, so, that's just the rules. So this is the second week. Let's go. What's the lie? You ready to do it? I'm, I'm ready. All right, four headlines. One not real.
Starting point is 00:40:53 What's the lie? Headline number one. It's been so cold in Minnesota. Satellites think the Midwest is a climate. Loud. Headline number two. The massive doll collection, formerly owned by the now deceased creator of Nutella, is headed for auction. Headline number three. Too many capabaris. These rodents face vasectomies in luxury Argentine communities. Headline number four, the ketamine-fueled psychedelic slumber parties that get tech execs back on track. Those are your four headlines.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Headline number one, it's been so cold in Minnesota, satellites think the Midwest is a cloud. Headline number two, the massive Dow collection, formerly owned by the now-deceased creator of Nutella, is headed for auction. Headline number three, too many capaberas, these rodents face vasectomies in luxury Argentine community. Headline number four, the ketamine-fueled psychedelic slumber parties that get tech execs back on track. All right, those are your four headlines. Dean, what is the lie? Wow. So these,
Starting point is 00:42:08 I'm kind of my process of elimination. Number two sounds very plausible. Number four, I want to get invited to one. No doubt. Number one is kind of iffy, but, you know, the vasectomy one, it could be a head fake. So I'm going to say,
Starting point is 00:42:28 again is the lie. Oh, no, Dean. Oh, no. That's so sad. I wanted you to win another time, too, but no. Gosh darn it. Well, thanks for playing and listening to What's the Lie. What's the Lie? The Subsidiary of Chewing the Fed Enterprises.
Starting point is 00:42:49 All information is probably accurate at the time of recording. CTF, WTL, MMXXV. So, I mean, you want to take another shot? Three would be my next guess, but the Argentinian best X-E. So, you want to take another shot or? Really? Oh, my gosh. Well, tech execs.
Starting point is 00:43:16 So, you want to take another shot? There it is. The one that sounded most plausible. Most plausible. It's this called. What's the truth? That's the three truth, but I didn't get it. Listen, I'm happy for you and your family knowing that, you know,
Starting point is 00:43:40 your son who is here with me is questionable as far as being related to y'all, even if you didn't win this week.
