Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Of someone finding something at a thrift store that wasn't me. Okay, the story did not come from me.

So this lady is out perusing her local thrift store when she comes across this wedding dress that she says is stunning. It's a huge gown, strapless body, and the ruffled skirt. And the Goodwill tag is $19

for the dress. dress. And then she realizes, wait, that's the Vera Wang, Carrie Bradshaw's Sex and the City wedding dress. Uh, yeah. So she bought it for 1899. Uh, no kidding. And she, it's part of the show, part of the deal. I, we don't know how it ended up at the thrift store, but, uh, she is going to auction it off and good for her. I don't know what she's going to get for it, but she said that she's been, and this is

the lady who found the Carrie Bradshaw dress at the thrift store. Ashley Cano, Ashley Cano said that hey, yeah, I've been low-key stressing over

my lawyer bills for my divorce and I needed a blessing. didn't think it would come in the way of a wedding dress, but I'm not complaining. So she's going to resell it to help pay. She's going to resell the wedding dress from Sex and the City to help fund her divorce.

Doesn't get much better than that unless it was me that found it. Welcome! Welcome to Chewing the Fat. It was a number. announced today that CBS news journalist, Gail King, along with recording artist Katie Perry, pilot Lauren Sanchez. That would be a fiancé to Jeff Bezos. And we'll be part of a six-person crew.

The bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nijian Love Her is going to be part of the group, along with NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowie. I believe that's how you pronounce her last name. M-O-W-E and film producer Carrie Ann Flynn. It's going to be an all-woman flight on Blue Origin, and they're going to go up to the carbon line in the Blue Origin flight. And I cannot tell you how excited I am. They didn't announce the exact date.

It'll be the 11th human flight for the New Shepherd program and the 31st in its history, but only 11 with humans in it. the program has now flown 52 people above the Carmen line which is questionable but we're going with it we're saying yeah okay that's where they're flying to and that's the internationally recognized boundary of space

so this is the first all-female flight crew which is awesome now there's no again there's no date to when this is going to happen But I cannot wait personally for the audio of Katie Perry hitting the Carmen line. Because if it's anything like my man William Shatner, I am here for it. God. Waitlessness.

Oh, Jesus. Carmen line. Oh. No. Description Oh Katie Perry I'm already in the mood

I can hear her Oh I'm telling you With Lauren Sanchez I can't I cannot wait You can stop it I cannot wait until

Katie Perry And Lauren Sanchez Make that happen Because I promise you on behalf of chewing the fat and to myself that that audio will be played on this broadcast. I promise you that. That is awesome. The all-woman flight on Blue Origins carbon line is going to be extraordinary. You know, and speaking of space, I see where intuitive.

of machines just launched their second lunar lander headed to the moon supposed to land on the moon sometime next week. Their payload includes a Nokia built 4G wireless system they're going to establish the first

Wi-Fi network on the moon. The main payload on the Athena rover is a drill for NASA as part of its commercial lunar payload services program, which I'm a huge fan of their commercial lunar payload services program.

And that's paying a commercial company like intuitive, I'm sorry, like intuitive machines, to take something to the moon and it's cheaper for NASA than designing and building its own spacecraft. Yeah, we already know. We know that's the kind of deal you have with SpaceX. Don't try to pretend like SpaceX doesn't exist anymore. We know, okay?

So the drill is designed to dig about three feet below the surface, pulling up lunar soil about four inches at a time and dropping it into a pile on the surface. An instrument known as a mass spectrometer, love that instrument, will then sniff around the drilled material for compounds like frozen water that easily transforms into gases. The Athena lander is also carrying three robotic rovers

and a small flying hopper that will be deployed after landing. Okay, so we'll see. Because the last time that they sent one up, it fell over. And we didn't get any pictures from it. And it was just like, what happened? There was a problem. Yeah, we're on the moon. We think we're on the moon.

We're there. We're there. Oh, okay, yeah, that's right. We have one camera and it fell over on it. And so we're able to look at the picture. Here's the picture of it. And there it goes because it fell down. And now it's covered up because it fell over.

So we'll see if this particular. rocket, rover that's supposed to land on the moon. The Athena lander actually does what it's supposed to do. If that's the case, then one of the things that it's supposed to do is they have another little rover that's the size of a small dog that's supposed to map the moon. Mobile autonomous prospecting platform.

map. And so they want to create this cell phone network on the moon. Can you hear me now? That is, yeah, we'll see. We'll see how that works out. But okay, let's make it happen. I'll be interested to see how the old rover works from the intuitive machines.

Because the last time did not go well, the odiousisicis, I think it was. All right? I think that's what it was. The odiousisicis, this, this, this, this, lander. and yeah, it had a problem. And yeah, it was an oversight to launch. It was an issue.

And what are you going to do? They had a little problem they thought with this one when it took off. And they were sweating bullets too. There was a problem in the beginning. Because it was late to check in after it launched. And then there were several minutes of the butt puckering on the ground, man. from intuitive machines. And then,

oh, there it is. There it is. We got it. Never mind. Never mind. Because they were all, they were sweating bullets for several minutes

because it didn't check back in with data. And they were like, oh boy, another screw up. But no, it didn't. So give them credit. It didn't. It just was a little bit,

a little slow. So hopefully it's not a short rocket lander, rover, you know, like a short bus. It's not one of those. Anyway, we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens when it finally lands on the moon if it stays upright and if it does what it's supposed to do.

And if we could map it out for the cell phone data and to have Wi-Fi on the moon. If, if. Right now, though, all systems go. At Desjardin, we speak business.

We'd love to talk, business. When you hear that sounder, that's breaking news here on CTF. and we have our breaking news reporter, our man on the street, Chris Cruz. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, Chris is in Washington, D.C. Part of the new media, baby. New media. I am here, sir. Awesome. So you have breaking news for us today. I just came from the White House Oval Office. President Trump House officially made English America's official language.

Wow. How does that make you feel? Amazing. America first. Hell to the yes. So it is, English is now the official language of America. It's right next to the Gulf of America. So you have to speak American, which is English. Oh, that's awesome. I don't know if you'll be shot if you speak another language.

I don't even be arrested. It's just that, you know, I think this makes it okay for companies not to have 18 different languages when I call. find out. Yes. I call the help line. Press 1. Yeah. For Spanish Oprimados. Thank you. I'm happy that the companies offer that. Absolutely. I'm sure the companies will continue

to offer that. Yes. The government doesn't have to. Yes. I can't wait. If you want to do business with the government, you have to speak the official language. And there's nothing wrong with that. It doesn't make him a racist. That's what's going to happen. But it's just as a standard.

The standard is English. and... How are you working for the Trump administration? Well, you know, I just got a dose of the, you know, the dawn. Being in the office with him just makes you, I guess, man. Your testosterone picked up a little bit. The testosterone picked up just a tiny. Yeah, it rubs off, doesn't it?

Yeah. So, well, that's good news. It's a great news for America. Okay. You know what? Yes, it's good news. We have an official language now, and it's made official by our president, Donald J. Trump, that English is now the spoken word, the actual spoken word.

Official. Official spoken word of America. And I thought it was already, but you know what? I'll give this a word to him. About time someone said it. Thank you. And said it in English. Thank you.

Chris Cruz. Breaking news from Washington, D.C. here on the CTF. I'm not sure where to send Chris next. He's in D.C. now. I'm not sure if I need to send him out to, the West Coast for the Oscars coming up on Sunday or just keep him on the East Coast

and drop him down to Daytona because we got Bike Week going on. So maybe he goes back to Daytona, checks out Bike Week, and then shoots over to California, you know, for the Oscars. I'm not quite sure. I'll have to figure that out. But, you know, I appreciate him being in D.C. today,

giving us some breaking moves. So we have the Bike Week, Harley-Davidson Bike Week, going on at Daytona Beach. And they've got all kinds of events. It's going to be, I mean, their events go on from today through the 9th of March. Today's the last day of February. Those of you listening live, today is the 28th of February. You got to get out and do your Black History Month celebration right now because it's over.

It's done after today. No more. You can't celebrate it after today. I'm pretty sure that's a law. Anyway, so they have Bike Week going on. They estimate 3 to 400,000 riders and fans. It's a broad swath of central Florida. Yeah, no kidding.

Daytona Beach remains the epicenter, but they're branching out in Florida. So Harley Davidson's Honda, Suzuki's, and other popular brands represent on the traditional hub along Main Street. That's ground zero. Yeah, that is ground zero. But they have all kinds of other stuff.

I was looking at some of the events that they have. They have the crews, and they have the shops that, you know, you can get all your stuff. at, they have the rally, they have another couple of rides, but they also have

Coleslaw wrestling, which, hello. And so, while you're getting excited over, you know, Coleslaw wrestling, because, man, there's nothing like cabbage and wrestling. They go together. Oh, man, do I hate Coleslaw so much?

Oh, nasty. Anyway, we also, my gosh, this weekend, we have the Florida Man Games going on. That's in St. Augustine, right? I mean, that's where the Florida Man Games are. We had the guy that founded it and started it on the program last year was the original, because this is the second annual Florida Man Games.

I should reach out to him, talk to them, and see what's happening. So, I mean, they are all over the place. Wait a second. I want to stop for just as I just went to their website, Florida ManGames.com. And it says, we made the headlines. Chewing the Fat is not listed. I was one of the first people to ever interview this guy.

I am pissed now. I mean, maybe he doesn't even give the Blaze credit, but Chewing the Fat ought to have credit from this. I am texting him right now. I've got his number somewhere. That is unacceptable. No, no, no, no.

That's too far. That's too far. You never know, though. You never know. It's too far, but you just never know. It is Florida. It is Florida. So you got Bike Week, you got the Florida Man Games happening in Florida. That's where we are going to need to said, Chris.

Maybe he goes there and then maybe he catches the red eye so he can be in L.A. for the Oscars. And then we'll have a report from him as he takes care of the beginning of Bike Week and the Florida Man Games. So the evading arrest obstacle course. I mean, that's better than the Coleslaw wrestling. but, you know, if you're there and people start wrestling on Coleslaw. But, you know, the one thing that kind of ticked me off about the bike week is how they get the crowd size. Okay. So they apparently, and this is all done for your safety, of course, please.

It's not for anything else. Daytona Beach, the city, uses geo-fencing. And they track all the cell phones that are in that area during bike week. So when they get that number from last year, that was like $300,000, it's because of the geo fencing. So it's a location-based app. I mean, they just track all the cell phones there. So if you have a Wi-Fi cell signal, you can trigger the,

the geo fencing. So if you don't want to be tracked when you're down there the bike week from the analytics firm Placer AI, they want to use them to calculate the numbers of bike week.

If you don't want that, I would say make sure your Wi-Fi is turned off. Make sure any of your GPS is turned off. And if you're going to use a cell phone. I would, what do they call those phones again? Something that's hot. And no, I don't want you to steal them. But they call them, oh, I know, burner phones, because you could use them and throw them away.

So if you want to make some money, go down to Bike Week and have like a pickup truck full of, I don't want to call them burner phones, full of phones that help will help people be safe. safer while they're in Daytona Beach and reminding them to shut off their cell phones and their Wi-Fi and everything else concerned with phones that they use every day

and use these instead. All right, let's go to the break room. I'm not, don't look at me. I'm just saying for your safety and for all of that. I'm not, you know, I'm not trying for people to do anything illegal. It just kind of irks me

that the city is using their geo-fencing, you know, just just for the numbers. That's all we want. We just want them for the numbers. Uh-huh. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. You know, next week, Daredevil starts up again.

Daredevil, born again. It's on Disney Plus. So Netflix ended it. And then they put together a new deal and started doing it for a deal. Disney Plus, kind of very excited about it. I mean, Charlie Cox is back as Daredevil. Vincent DiNofrio is there.

They all came back for the show on Disney Plus, which is awesome. So the 4th, March 4th, like I said, today, if you're listening live, this is 28th. So next week, March 4th, they dropped the first two episodes, and then it's a nine-episode series that goes each week after that. so I'm kind of looking forward to that the first well the whole run but the first season

of Daredevil on Netflix was awesome awesome Punisher was eh and it was okay same with iron fist or iron claw and what's her face what's her face the

I can't even remember a stupid name now the what was it? No no no no That was a stupid name. Anyway, I kept waiting for it to get better. And it was, I mean, it was okay. It just never got better.

That's all. It was okay. But Daredevil did. And so I'm looking forward to Daredevil on Disney Plus now. Oh, incredible. It's good. I've got that app that I pay for, huh? Don't even get me started.

I've been watching so much stuff on Amazon Prime lately. And it really, really pisses me off with these commercials. And I'm a commercial guy. commercials we've covered this we've covered this ground i'm sick of complaining about it but i just can't i can't these drive me insane and my wife uh started watching this show on peacock oh what's the new stupid show she watches the uh chicago chicago fire and uh i mean that show's been on i don't know they got like 80 years and 20 20 episodes a season those people are doing some work i've put it some work for that show i mean no kidding but it's on peacock so i got to sit

there's commercials on Peacock as well. And I will say that the other day, on Pat Gray Unleashed, we were talking about the modern English song, I'll stop the world to melt with you. And I was like, that's got to be a commercial. I mean, it's somewhere. After I said that, I go home. My wife is watching a stupid Chicago fire department,

FD, or whatever the other show is, and the commercials on Peacock. I've seen a never-ending run of the Hershey Chocolate Bar commercial with, I'll stop the world and melt with you. I'll stop the world. I can't get it out of my head with the modern English song. And I love that song, but now I have to have a Hershey bar too.

All right. Then we have the Oscars too. I mean, we can't forget about the Oscars this weekend. I know. You don't have to watch it. I'll watch it for you. I'll watch the red carpet and I'll see what they look like and what they say. You're welcome.

I'll do it for you. I'll take one for the team. All right. You don't have to. So, best actor. I'm sorry. Actor in a leading role. Adrian Brody, the brutalist.

He seems to be the frontrunner. Although Timothy Charlemais, who won the SAG After Award, may come from behind, coming around the final turn as the best actor. And then Coleman Domingo, he's not going to win that. Ralph, what's his face from Conclave?

He's not going to win that. They'll give Conclave, probably the movie of the year. And so, best movie of the year. And Sebastian Stan for The Apprentice. Yeah, no. It's going to be either Adrian Brody from the Brutelist or Timothy Charlemagne. Timothy Charlemagne, I mean, he's a movie star, right?

I mean, people are going out of their way to see this guy. I mean, he's a movie star. He did both on SNL. He was the host and the musical guest. He showed up at some event that was a Timothy Charlemay look-a-lookalike contest. The guy is a movie star. So, I mean, he probably should win. Actor in a supporting role.

Yura Morsoff from Anora. I can't take that. Kieran has been cleaning house. Karen Culkin from a real pain. Probably will win again. Edward Norton in complete unknown. Ed's great in everything that he does. No question, but he's not one in that.

Guy Pearce, the Brutelist. who is out bad mouth than Kevin Spacey trying to get news. Sorry, guy, you're not winning it, okay? No, not going to you. Karen Culkin is getting it. So back up. And in the words of Kevin Spacey, grow up, okay? And Jeremy Strong from The Apprentice.

Yeah, Karen Culkin's winning that, no problem. Actress in a leading role, they're going to give that to Wicked, Cynthia Arevo. I don't think so. I think that may go to either. Okay, so here's the nominees. Cynthia Revo, Wicked. Carla Sophia Gascon from Amelia Perez. Mickey Madison from Anora.

Demi Moore, the substance. And Fernando Torres, I'm still here. Okay. So the frontrunners of that really is Demi Moore, who won the SAG for Substance. And Mickey Madison would be cool from Anora. She's great. love her. She was in better things.

Do you ever watch that show on FX? Anyway, she did a great job in FX and better things on FX. And she, you know, I could give it to her, although I've not seen a Nora. So it's probably going to go to Demi. Jimmy's the Hollywood superstar

Ben and the thing, although the movie is exactly what they try to pretend not to be. The movie is Demi Moore's as aging actress who, you know, finds this substance to make her young, right? And that's, I mean, all the people out there judging are people that are actually doing that.

They're out there drinking any kind of blood they can find to be young. Oh, they don't do that, Jeff. That's okay. All right. Sure. Sure. They don't do that. Okay.

Supporting role. Monica Barbaro, Cleodon, Unknown. Ariana Grande and Wicked. Felicity Jones, the brutalist. Isabella Rosalini, Conclaves, Zoe Saldonner. Seldaon is probably the frontrunner. She won the other night, too. They're not going to give it to Isabella Rosini

Concliffe. No, Conclay's probably going to win the movie of the year, and they'll be done with that, because then they can all come out on stage together and say, we won, yay! But, you know, they would give you any separate awards. You know, just whatever. And the rest of them, does anyone care about the costume design or directing or short, film, film, film, film, makeup and

hairstyling. Okay, makeup and hairstyle. A different man. Amelia Perez, Nasferato, the substance, and Wicked. I mean, makeup and hairstyle. It's got to go to Wicked, right? I mean, hell of it's going to make the run on that. No problem.

Plus, what's her face? In the actress, the Carla Sophia Gascon, who played Amelia Perez, who was the trans drug lord. That movie, come on now.

I have not seen it, but it's a trans drug lord musical. Okay, okay. All right, stop it. And then they found some racist god-awful tweets from the trans star, Carla Sophia Gascon. She's lucky, he's lucky. It's lucky. her, her, whatever, however she identifies, he identifies, they identify,

they will be lucky to be able to be allowed at the Oscars for those tweets. Yeah, it could be over at any time. But I'll let you know what happened. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats.

You know, the other day we talked about the outbreak in the Congo, and the numbers are continuing to rise. They're even more, it's like a daily rise. So right now, they're saying at least 60 people have died. More than a thousand have been. infected by this unknown illness in the northwestern

Democratic Republic of the Congo that's the DRC to you and me you know and according to the World Health Organization symptoms of the uncontrolled bleeding, vomiting, and diarrhea plus resemble the highly contagious

Ebola and Marburg viruses but they say that that's not it. They've ruled them out. They don't even know what it is They don't know what it is. So they tried to blame it on these kids that apparently ate a dead bat. I mean, how many times as a kid did you run around and eat a dead bat? I mean, I can't count. I can't count the times.

I could remember finding a bat that was almost dead when I was a kid. That's a fact. Then I went back, put him in a jar, kept him in a jar for quite some time. Don't look at me like that. It was a bat. It was, do not look at me like that. But I will say, even though I had the bat in a jar and it was almost dead, and then eventually it died even though I poked holes in the jar's cap so the air would get in.

I never, well, not from the bat anyway. So they don't know what it is. They have no idea. So the WHO is reportedly testing patients for a variety of potential causes, including food poisoning and typhoid. food poisoning in the DRC. Kids are eating bats, okay? I don't know food.

Okay, it could be typhoid. You didn't test for that? Is it bird flu? Is it rhinoceros goo-foo? I mean, what is it? Is it elephant dung flu? I mean, I don't know. You'd think they want to know.

And they do want to know. They're trying to find out. but if you're planning on going to the DRC I don't know if a mask will help you or not maybe you may postpone the trip maybe you postpone the trip because if you don't you may come back and all right and we have to revisit

who died today yesterday Gene Hackman died and he was 95 and she the wife was 64 and one of their dogs died that they were found on the property. We talked about yesterday. And it's sad, sad news.

And they better give, they better give Gene Hackman a good retrospective at the Oscars. I'll tell you that. It better not be just a picture of who died this year. Every year they have the in-memorium segment where they just show faces of the stars that died. Gene Hackman better get more than that. I'll tell you that.

He's a two-time Oscar winner. And I don't know how many other movies he was in. Let's say he was in, I don't know 100 but it was probably I'm sure it was more if you look at the IMDB

in fact let's do that like I said 1001 movies okay as an actor 101 as a producer one a stunts won and then he apparently did

help with the soundtrack or something but I was pretty darn close pretty darn close I was under so I win I didn't go over I didn't go over so I went. If you were playing,

the price is right, that is. Anyway, so now we have updated information on this death, the sad deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife and his dog, one of his dogs. So authorities said the deaths are now suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation. After finding the door to the couple's home was unsecured and open. And an open orange prescription

pill bottle and pills scattered around the room where Hackman's wife, the classical pianist, Betsy Aracowa, and one of their German Shepherd dogs were discovered. Betsy was found, and I feel like this term came from a deputy sheriff that doesn't know what he's talking about. My wife, the Betsy, the wife, was found mummified and bloated when the two discovered, were discovered dead with their dog in their New Mexico. home. I just feel like a bloated yes, because they hadn't been seen for a couple

of weeks. So your body starts bloating after about a week, really. And I mean, you're starting to, you're starting to smell. But the whole mummification thing, I feel like after a week or seven days,

you're not really mummified. I guess maybe you're drying up, maybe, or whatever. I just, I feel like that's that's the wrong time. Anyway, they were still dead, whether it was mummified or not. Deputies noted that it

appeared Arakawa, as the wife, obvious signs of death, body deacon's decomposition, bloating her face and mummification in both hands and feet, which I think they were just shrinking, right? They were shrinking up. That's all that meant.

When she was found on the floor of the bathroom near the home's entry, all right? The door into the couple's home, sits on six acres, 8,000 square feet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No forced entry or theft that they know about. I mean, somebody could have, you know,

poison them, gone in there and take it, you know, maybe Gene Hackman had, you know, a $10 million diamond in a safe. You don't know that. You don't know that. So, I mean, he was Lex Luther. You don't know. You don't know.

I'll say it. I also know to report that a black space heater was found near Aracawa's head. That's the wife. A responding officer said he suspected the heater could have fallen in the event the female abruptly fell to the ground. Thank you, officer. The couple deceased dog was located about 10 to 15 away from Arachawa.

That's the way. Inside the bathroom's closet. Meanwhile, Hackwood's body was found in what deputies believe was the mudroom near a pair of sunglasses. officers wrote the report that appeared he had suddenly fallen. Thank you, officer. So, I mean, we've got it on. We don't know what, it could be anything. It's really weird.

It still could be what I talked about yesterday. Murder suicide. It could be, it's not like a notebook thing where they both just curled up and died together. He's 95. She's 65. She still has plenty of years left. and the poor dog I mean, who's going around killing dog

Anyway, it's a shit The quote of documentary Coming to America Shame what they did to that dog Anyway, they didn't say What kind of pills they were Nothing, so you don't know I mean, the dogs could have got into them

There were still dogs, a couple of dogs alive On the property they said And they could, the dogs could have come and gone Like, somebody better feed me I'm gonna, I don't know what's going on around here Why are you guys lying around here But Somebody better if I'm

I mean, it's a voot. So, you just don't know. But they better have, I mean, the man won two Oscars. He's been in over 100 movies. They better have, this all started with me telling you, they better have a decent retrospective for Gene Hackman. So if they need somebody to voice the retrospective,

I've done plenty of retrospectives before. I could give you a Gene Hackman retrospective. And at the end, they all have the same. Dead. at the age of 95. Well, they don't know. They have different ages, but they all end up dead.

And for those of you listening live, which, you know, I've said it multiple times during this broadcast, today is the final day of February 2025, the 28th. Today is also a day that's supposed to be an economic boycott blackout day. We're not supposed to buy anything.

We're not supposed to be sending a clear message. We have the power. And so don't spend any money. And that means no shopping online, ordering from restaurant chains, or filling up at the gas station, okay? Don't do any of it.

Because it's an economic blackout, okay? This initiative is a way for consumers to flex their economic power by not spending any money for 24 hours, starting at 12.1 a.m. today.

said, what's his stupid name? John Schwartz, the founder of the People's Union USA, lives in Chicago. He's a 57-year-old meditation teacher. he came up with the idea for the boycott as he was, I'm sure, meditating, I'm sorry, searching for a way to take action in response to the tumultuous start of the Trump administration, which moved aggressively to shrink the federal government. That's a good thing, John.

I guess maybe to you, it isn't. So not buying things is going to point out how bad shrinking the federal government is. Is that where we're at? What we should do is... That's pretty good. The other day, I was... I was meditating, and I was thinking,

you know, what we should do is... We should probably just stop buying stuff. And that would really show them... They'd show Trump and those people that are trying to shrink the government, you know, just exactly... Well, who would show them

and show them you know just how how mad we are we shouldn't buy any gas we shouldn't buy any goods any restaurants or nothing I already bought my my pot so good

I'm doing better than I should be, Jeffie. That is fantastic. I'm glad to be here. Now, Ben, prior to you requesting to be a contestant on What's the Lai. you had submitted some jokes of the day and you were putting your family to work, if I remember correctly. You had the kids writing jokes, correct?

That is accurate, yeah. That is awesome. You need to keep that up. Keep them working. Keep cracking the whip on that. I love that. I don't know what it is, but I've got twin-year-old boys. They love making up jokes.

Some are better than others. Of course. That's for sure. That's the way it works. But you got to, it's a creative process. You got to continue to run. write them. Right. Right. They need to be refined a lot of times and that's where mom and dad step to. That's awesome. I love it. I would make them write jokes every day. Just continue with that

creative process. That is awesome. And, you know, the ones that you've refined and that you feel that are, you know, revised enough to make it, I'd say you send them in, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I'll do that. I'll do that. I'll, uh, we'll make up some, the three little ones, the boys and the seven-year-old, they're homeschooled. So we can make that part of the curriculum. I mean, I'm here for you. The chewing the fat homeschool curriculum is an important curriculum, I think. Professor Jeffie.

I think. I mean, I'm not officially a professor, but I, go ahead. You can call me one. That's fine. I don't have a problem with that. We'll do that. All right. So you ready to play?

I'm ready. All right. Four headlines, the one not real. What's the lie? Headline number one. A decade ago, the dress, united and divided us. Couldn't happen today. Headline number two, scientists say they've discovered why Mars is red. Headline number three, couple forced to sit next to a dead body on a plane for four hours after a woman dies mid-flight.

Headline number four. Adult magic training camps are exploding in the American South. Those are your four headlines. Headline number one. A decade ago, the dress united and divided us. It couldn't happen today. Headline number two. Scientists say they've discovered why Mars is red. Headline number three.

A couple forced to sit next to a dead body on the plane for four hours after woman dies mid-flight. Headline number four. Adult magic training camps are exploding in the American South. Those are your four headlines, Ben. What is the lie? All right. Well, I know, I understand the process is to talk it out. You know, the process is whatever works for you.

Because a lot of this time, I've got nothing but time for you. I got nothing but time for you, Ben. So I know one and three for sure. The dress is it blue and gold or black and white or whatever the colors were. I know that. Okay. And I know the dead body. You talked about that one the other day.

I did. I appreciate you. listen to the show. Thank you. I was listening intently this week, Jeffey, because I know sometimes you bring those back into the game. I do. You're smart man. I got to be prepared for this.

Okay. Okay. Mars, I thought that was discovered decades ago. I thought it was because of iron in the soil or something to that effect. So I don't know if you're bringing up, you know, ancient articles or if there's a new discovery. Magic camps for adults I mean, anything's possible It's got to be two or four

I'm going to say I'm going to say what's the lie I'm going to go out on a limb I'm going to say I'm going to say number two is the lie Oh dude I do I'm so sad

You're telling me Southerners are not going to magic Oh my gosh I am I mean, I wanted you to win too, Ben. You worked it out so perfectly. I can't take it. Thanks for listening. Thanks for playing.

We're done. What's the lie is a subsidiary of chewing the fat enterprises. All information is probably accurate at the time of recording. CTF, WTL, MMXXV. Dude. Dude. Oh, I was right there. You worked it all out perfectly.

I thought for sure. You had the, you had the Jeffie Blue Freshie and the palm of your hand. You snatched victory from the hands of the teeth and defeat. So tell me, tell me this, the Mars, is that a new, is that a new article? Yeah, why it's read. Yeah, the new research upended the popular theory of the iron stuff. Oh. Yeah.

So, just saying. I'm embarrassed. No, don't be embarrassed. It was awesome. I mean, you got one of your six-year-old jokes? I'm sorry, I'll refrain. I'll rephrase. Do you have one of your jokes from your six-year-olds?

No, but I'll give you one of the twins jokes. They're what? They're 10 now, but this is probably when they were eight or nine. Okay. All right, awesome. How does it go? Okay, so what did the son? What did the son say to the good boy?

What did the son say to the good boy? What did the son say to the good boy? Stay golden. That's a lot of revision. a lot of revised things it needs to have. Okay. So I appreciate it. It's a work in progress.

Yeah, it's a work in progress. We'll send the final cut. I'll send the final cut. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.
