Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher I would be so angry and I know it's a surprise that I would be angry on an airplane but Flight 780

from Philadelphia to Naples was a Boeing 787-9 airliner which is 20 feet longer than the usual 7878 who doesn't know that? I mean everybody in the world knows that right? the 7879 is 20 feet longer than the 7878. Duh.

But what the catch is is that that size airplane can't land at Naples Airport. It's too large of an aircraft. So eight hours, eight hours into the flight, and it said they were in descent headed to Naples when they realized, hey, you know, I think our plane is too big. I don't think we can, we're supposed to land at Naples. Naples, this is a flight from Philadelphia, flight 780. We're in the Boeing 7879.

Can we land at your airport? No, you're too big. We can't, we can't land here. Sorry, do you hear us come back? We've got you. Thank you, Naples. We'll just, we'll go ahead and divert to Rome. And then we'll land there.

And we'll go ahead and put people on buses and send them back to Naples. Yeah, we were going to, we were, thank you for flying, Flight 780. We were getting ready to land right here in Naples. And we've had a little bit of a problem with this landing. Some operational limitations. And we can't. We just realized. that we just realized that, you know, our plane is too big,

and we can't land in Naples. You know what I'm saying? A little logistical mix up. I'm sure you understand. And so we went ahead and, you know, we asked Rome if we could land there. And they said, sure, come on in. So we're going to get you on buses and let you take the 140, 200-mile bus trip from Rome to Naples. On us, of course.

You know, I don't worry about any expenditures. We'll take care of that. wow so i mean no pilot at the in philadelphia airport said we're going to naples today right yeah i don't think that airport can handle this size airplane no one said that okay all right fine we waited until eight hours into the flight when somebody i don't doesn't say who realized you know dude dude you don't you don't I think this plane is too big I don't think they're going to let it land in Naples

You know what I'm saying? Oh my gosh, you're probably right And they don't And they didn't But fortunately for the travelers I mean everything was fine on takeoff and landing And then the bus ride to Naples I'm sure was just beautiful

You got to see a little bit of the sites That you weren't planning on The sites of the highway between Rome and Naples So what more? more fun can you have on vacation. Am I right? Yeah. Welcome.

Welcome to chewing the fat. You know, so yesterday we talked about the new Trump mobile phone that our president, Donald Trump, has zero to do with. He's nothing to do with. It's just the family. Why do you say like that? Because he doesn't have anything to do with it. It's called Trump Mobile and it's not,

doesn't have anything to do with the president of the United States. Yeah, but what are you saying that you're making it sound like he does. And I don't like that. This is Junior and Eric. Yeah, I know. I know it's not Donald. Donald has nothing to do with it. Nothing.

Yes. It's only under the Trump umbrella. Anyway, so they're getting rid of, or they're adding more to their portfolio. Not only are they going to have the executive branch bar in D.C. Which is a fantastic deal. But they're going to have Trump mobile. All right.

Now, I talked to you about it yesterday. It's 45-47 for a month. 47-45. 47-45. It should have been 45. It should have been 45. But they wanted to get that extra couple of bucks out of you, which makes me think that it has to be Donald Trump

will be involved because there was a couple of bucks more involved. Anyway, so it's going to be 47, 45, or the monthly fee for the phone, an Android phone. And it comes with access to... Unlimited talk text data. Okay. Complete device protection. Okay.

24-7 roll-side assistance. device protection. What is that? Drive. Well. Okay. No, no, go ahead. Okay.

Telehealth. Virtual Medicare, medical care, mental health support, and easy ordering and delivery for prescription medication. Free. There's no way. Free international calling. Free international calling. To more than 100 countries, including many with American military bases to help honor,

blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. That's good. I mean, that's good. No contracts. no credit check 888 Trump 45 that's 888 Trump 45

do I need a Trump phone to have this yes no you don't I don't think you do right I just has to be an Android phone yes no no no no no I can do it on Apple too yes it could be any phone nice the thing is I won the T1

which is the Trump mobile right like the actual gold it gold plate it phone Android that's only 500 what $5.99. Yeah, okay. With a $100 deposit. It'll be here in September.

Okay. Which is coincide with the opening of the executive. The executive branch or club or whatever the hell they're calling it. But there's no way, Chris and I have been having this argument all day that there's no way that they're providing this. Yes. Telehealth. Teledoc is free. Well, not telehealth is the one that I use, but telehealth is free, bro.

No way. It's free. Someone who pays for it then? Nobody has to pay for it. Not me. Go check your insurance and look at the, on the itemized when you paycheck. Nothing says tell it hell. And if you look at your super contract, as I did, so I knew you're going to bring this up.

None of my health care money goes to telehealth. Okay. So if I get the phone, I don't know who's paying for it. Do I get, are they paying for my prescriptions that the doc calls in? Well, no, that one, they'll give you discounted prescribes. Like, it's basically like good RX. So go through them and then they'll give you a good RX. And I don't know if it's good RX, but it's something like that.

Yeah. Yeah, you can see it right there on the bottom of the screen. For those of you watching live. Now, if you don't know how to get to your email. Video portion of the podcast, don't worry about it. I'm just going to tell it to you.

Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com and those three of you that are watching the video. You get it. It's right at the bottom. It's right there. Anyways, but it's free, bro. It's free. I've never had to pay.

Now, it could be one of these things that I'm supposed to pay and I haven't gotten caught yet in the last five years. Oh, yeah. Right? Yeah. But every time I called tele-todoc with my foster kids, they never asked me for any insurance information. So you just call the teledoc.

Yes, I called. I was like, I need to set an appointment. And someone who you believe is a doctor or medical professional pops up on the screen. No, no, no, no, no. The first person is just the do person. and then the due person says someone will call you in the next 10, 15 minutes.

And they say they're a doctor. You believe that the person who calls you is a medical professional. Because they tell me my name is Dr. Cruz and I'm a board certified doctor here in the state of Texas.

No one would lie about something like that. So go ahead. Okay, hold on. Now you got me thinking here. No one would lie about something like that. Okay, so then you give them all your medical, What's wrong with you?

Yeah. And then they, what's going on? Okay, yeah, just here's some medicine. Which pharmacy do you want? Oh, they want at Kroger.

Okay. And they send it to Kroger. And that's it. Right. You have the information there, right? Yeah. Okay. You should try it for your next,

a campaign, for your next one. Just go teledoc. Okay, so I'm looking at some of, let's see. Uh-oh. A little telehealth information. All right?

That was quickly just, because you didn't type anything. Many insurance plans, including Medicare and private insurance. Are you trying to Tucker me? Telehealth services. Are you trying to Tucker me? No, I'm not.

Okay. No, no. Because I don't know what the population. I'm trying to give my audience information. I don't know what the population of a teledoc. Okay. How many teledocs are there? You should know.

How many are out there? If you didn't see the Tucker Carlson, Senator Ted Cruz, holy cow. That was beautiful. It was beautiful. it was because boy no one that I can recall has talked to Ted Cruz like that yes and someone he was a little flustered someone needed to I love him I voted for him he's a cousin of mine wait you're related to Ted Cruz what's my name Chris Cruz thank you so I've I've been to

family gatherings and cousin Cruz has never been talked to like that. So when I saw that, I was like, huh, about time. That felt pretty good. That must say, that felt pretty good. I don't know if there's a winner, because I don't think there's a clear,

there's no winnable argument there. I don't know. But it was juicy to watch. It was very juicy. And I'm definitely excited to watch that interview tonight. Because that drops tonight. Okay, so that was just the tease. That was the tease.

Well, they got me on the tease. They got me on the tease. If they come out, if they hug each other after. that and make out with each other. I'm going to be pissed. Are you hugging the person that made you? Maybe.

You don't know. I don't think, I don't think. No, to be fair, if you look when Tucker asked him, well, Senator, if you don't know what? You're going to have talked him without knowing? He laughs at him. I know. I know. That's, some will call that war?

Holy cow. I mean, no one had talked to Ted Cruz like that. He did get flustered. And it really knocked him off his game a little bit. Keith brought up very clearly. Ted Cruz is an award-winning debaters. Debaters or debater? Whatever.

Okay. He's a world champion debater. Debatus. It looked that way. It's been a while. It's been a while. Watching that with no audio makes it even worse for him. Holy cowly.

I did not. Sorry. So back to telehealth. So apparently many insurance plans, including Medicare and private insurance, telehealth services, but you may still have to pay a co-pay or co-insurance similar to an in-person visit. No insurance. If you don't have insurance, telehealth visits typically cost between $40 and $90 a session.

But some telehealth apps offer visits for less, sometimes under 20. So somebody's paying something. There's no way it's not. I've never had a pay of co-pay. And that's what I'm thinking like if, so if I use Trump mobile and call other stuff, telehealth. I dial them. They probably put the hot key on my app. Just put the app. Just put the app. It gets you right there.

Whoop. Hello. Trump mobile. Well, that's if you get, that's if you get the T1 mobile. Right. Right. If you get, if I'm bringing my iPhone, they're not installing anything. Yeah. But if you get the. Hello. Trump. Trump. Hello. Hello. Hello. This is Trump mobile telehealth. How can I help you? Yeah. Yeah.

I'm really sick and I need some medicine. Oh, okay. Where do I send the script to? That's all free? There's not a chance. I will say this. I bet if you dial 888 Trump 45, 888 Trump 45, 888 Trump 45. 888 Trump 45.

They can answer that question. I'm calling it right now. Thank you for calling Trump mobile. Okay. Your call is very important to us. Is it? To ensure the highest level of customer care, this call may be recorded for quality control and training.

Blake, I have a question for you. This is Jeff Fisher from Chewing the Fat. It's a podcast program, so you're being recorded as well. I just have a question for you. Honest question. Now, with Trump Mobile, it says that I get free telehealth, right? Is that correct? Correct.

If I sign up for it, I get free health. Now, that's free. I don't know. There's no extra charges on that. That's part of the 4745 monthly payment. Correct. Okay, so what is the up charges of that? Who pays for what on the teledocs?

I'm genuinely interested. It's just part of the deal. One second. It's just part of the deal. Absolutely. Nothing but time, Blake. Nothing but time for you. Oh, boy.

What's going on? You okay? Oh, yeah. No, I'm not. Blake is sending an email. Dear Don Jr. Oh. Oh, good. No, definitely nothing like that.

I just want to make sure that my T's are crossed and my eyes are dotted. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. And so I'm going to get up charged. You know I am. So if I get the Trump Gold phone, the T1, and that's going to come with an app that I just push and my teledocs going to pop right up and say, hey, what do you need me for? That's what's going to happen?

Well, it should be for that and also if you didn't buy the phone just on your car. current phone you would still have access to all of that if you were to switch services. Okay. All right. I like that. Like that? It doesn't matter if it's Apple or Android, right? Correct.

Okay. I like that. Dude, just let Eric know. I'm asking some questions about the phone. That's all I need. I don't need you to let Don Jr. know. I for sure don't let you need to know Don Sr. to know. You know, I got enough.

He's got enough on his plate. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Don't even tell her. Don't tell the wife either. Holy cow. Don't, no. We don't need that. Blake, seriously, the show is chewing the fat. It's Jeff Fisher, man. You don't need to report me any more than that. Oh, no. Just tell Laura Trump. She's talked to us before. Laura's been on the air with us before. You know, I have not talked to the other, the other daughter. Yeah, Ivanka, she's not been on the show. Don't let her. She's busy with her. She's busy with her. She's busy with her. with their kids and stuff. I'm willing to talk to Tiffany. You know, if Tiffany's busy, but just don't let them know. You don't need to type all that information.

I just wanted to know about the telehealth. Because I find it hard to believe that that's being offered for free. That's all. And I honestly didn't think someone would answer. And yet, I'm talking to Blake right now. You're eating up half my showtime with the typing. So take your time. You know, I hope it actually comes through nicely instead of just a bunch of clicks and clacks.

Oh, well, it is. It's coming through nicely all right. but nice, nice clicks and clags. And seriously, this is not emails to any of the people I named, right? You're not letting them know that we're on the phone. No, sir. Okay, so what are you typing? I mean, what's going on?

You ask it AI to answer your questions for you? Is Grock answering the questions for you, Blake? Grock sure is. Are you typing Elon? Dude, I don't want to talk to Elon either. Oh, he's on the outs now. Never mind. Yeah, we're not talking about that.

So, hello? So it looks like For any kind of that stuff I'm supposed to refer You to the PR team Okay Oh, because it's for my show Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I just want to know the information You have the information I don't care I know all of all the information About the Trump phone I got that Trump mobile I got it, the T1 all the information I was there for the

I saw the press conference 888 Trump 45 I saw the press conference I don't need them to tell me repeat the same stuff I just want to know if the telehealth stuff is actually free, dude, settled down on the typing. It's actually free with the app. There's no up charges.

And that's true, right? He's not answering more. Blake is done with me. Throwing me to the curb. No. It looks like for anything I do have to refer you to. Oh, shoot. I could call it.

Just pretend I didn't say I was doing a show. Just pretend it was me calling from. You know what, right now I'm busy digging a hole in my backyard, and I'm thinking about getting the Trump phone. Do I get free telehealth with the phone? You and I both, though, it doesn't work like that. Thank you. I appreciate it, Blake.

Have a nice day. Take care. Good luck. God bless. No, I know. It works just like that. Thank you. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.

Well, just to be clear, proven once again, I was right. I know, just to be fair, Blake was saying that that's not how it works. And he actually meant, you know, how that worked as far as talking to people about the phone and the information.

He wanted to get me over to PR. I know that. I got it. But it was, you know, it's funnier to think that Blake actually answered my question that, you know, it's going to cost you a whole lot more for telehealth. And they're just not telling us that. And, dude, you know that's not the way it works. and yes, I do.

It's just funnier that way. I know, Blake. It was just a joke, okay? I don't want to get Blake in trouble because he was just doing his job at the answering phone system, people's apartments, or wherever Blake is from.

And he's going to have to send out some long email now saying that he talked to some douchebag. Ouch. I talked to Jeff Fisher, chewing the fat. And he just went on and on and on. He was trying to,

screw my words around and I didn't say it. I don't want to get Blake in trouble because he was very nice. He was very nice. Be sure to follow me on X at Jeffrey JFR. I'm sure Blake is now. Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. Blake, if you need a cameo, bro, order a cameo from me. I'll do it.

I'll do it for free. I don't know how that works yet because cameo, just email. Just order the cameo. I'll make it happen at Jeffrey JFR on the cameo app. at Jeffrey JFR on the Cameo app. If you're not Blake, you're going to have to pay, but it is worth every darn nickel that you're going to charge. And you can also email the show.

I mean, I'm sure I'll get an email from someone over there at T1, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. All right, so we talked about the American Airlines flight that realized almost, it took them eight hours to figure out, I don't think we could land at the airport we're supposed to land at. Huh, that's weird. Well, now there's a guy, and I think I feel, like I mentioned this guy, but I am a fan of his.

He's from Florida, and he's facing up to 30 years in prison. Wow. So he posed as a flight attendant, and he booked over 120 free flights. Federal prosecutors say this man, Tyron Alexander, used fake airline credentials to access flights reserved for pilots and crew members, flying for free at least 34 times from 2018 to 2024. So he just hopped on and said, yeah, I need a ride. And

like, I have a nephew that's a flight attendant and sometimes, you know, if he has to fly to a city for a particular reason or try to get to another city for work, you have to hop on. You have to hop on another carrier. And they allow that to happen. So, I mean, that's awesome. And I know

what's his face? Abernathy, you know, he was pretending to be a pilot and many other things. This guy doesn't seem to say that he was a pilot. It said that he was pretending to be a flight

attendant hopping. We wanted to go to the cities that they were flying to. Were you guys headed? You guys going to Naples? Yeah, I'm off. I'm on. Let's go to Naples. He may have been the one, actually, who was on the flight that said, and these guys are dumb. They don't even know it's the wrong size plane. It can't land in Naples.

I don't know that. So he had prior experience in the airline industry working in ticketing for Delta from 2010 to 2012 and briefly as a flight attendant for two smaller carriers after that. Okay, his past rolls may have helped him bypass security. Yeah, he was convicted of wire fraud and unlawfully entering secure areas of airports under false pretenses.

You know, that's a, he was there to hop the plane and they were letting him hop the train. He wasn't trying anything nefarious. That's a tough one. And so the case was investigated by the TSA and as being prosecuted by the U.S. attorney's office. They're just pissed that they didn't know.

They didn't catch it in time. I mean, he wasn't trying to harm anyone. He just wanted to get on the planes and go where he was going. It's still illegal, Jeff. You can't be a flight attendant adjacent and get on the plane for free. Okay?

That's fraud. I know. I know. It just seems like a bit much to talk about, well, he used his special pass to bypass security and book unauthorized flights.

Yeah, that's what he was doing. And then he also he entered secure areas unlawfully. Well, okay, okay, you're right. He's a bad guy. He's illegal. We had to throw him in prison forever. Right? All right, let's throw him in prison forever.

And speaking of a guy that probably will get thrown in prison. Maybe at some point. Mike Lindell, you know him you love him, my pillow founder, and I like Mike. He's a good guy. He's been on this show. I've talked to him. I've met him a couple of times.

He was found guilty of defaming a former employee of Dominion voting systems and forced to pay $2.3 million in damages over his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

Wow. I mean, the guy's that's he's crying broke already. They've ruined this guy. That's not enough. That's not enough. We can't shut down his business. We can't shut down his websites. He's got,

well, his website's still up and running, but all his My Pillow merchandise that was in different stores. Yeah, we can't have that anymore. Pull them from the stores. And so now he owes 2.3 million to Dominion voting systems.

And so those of you that still believe that the election was stolen in 2020, 20? Don't you dare say it out loud. You hear me? Not one single word. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink, desperately. I mentioned this today on a background lease during my chewing segment, and I just wanted to, I finally got the charts for it. TV viewership via streaming, tops combined broadcast and cable viewing in the U.S. for the first time, with 44.8% of TV. TV consumed via streaming. Okay.

So the gauge is cable and broadcast have 44.2% of the market. Streaming has 44.8. So it's broken past than other is 10.9%. And it looked at some of the other streamings. You know, YouTube is at 12.5%. Netflix is 7.5%. Disney is 5%. Prime Video is 3.5%.

Roku Channel is 2.5%. Yeah, the Roku Channel, okay. And I'd like to see that broken down into other categories as well. Paramount Plus is 2.2%. Tubi is 2.2%. And what is this, Warner Brothers Discovery is 1.5%.

and Peacock is 1.4%. And I guess the Blaze is under other. The 6.5% is where Blaze TV would be. So BlazTV.com slash Jeffey. Promocode Jeff who gets $20 off of your yearly subscription plan to Blaze TV. But that's the first time ever that the streaming platforms have captured more viewership than broadcast television and cable. so cord cutting

yeah cord cutting is absolutely working and we just got to get we just got to start now being able to well they are going to tell you they need to find a way to capitalize on it because the streaming

is still having a tough time making money and if they if Bernie Sanders has his way they'll stop being able to make money from all the drug commercials that they have on all the streaming apps so that won't be good and right. I know.

They don't even have, I mean, do you have a cough like this? You need to use this drug. And then we're going to give you 30 seconds of disclaimers of what's wrong with this drug and what could possibly go wrong with you. But hey, use this drug and it's a beautiful day outside. Look at the people all happy using our drug.

But, you know, that's going to take, that's a lot of money on those streaming apps. And if that goes away, ooh, hello. Ouch. Yeah, big time. That's a lot of. of money. And so, I don't know if that can, I hope that doesn't happen at all. So anyway, congratulations to streaming for breaking away from cable and regular television, because

it's been, it's been, well, I'd say a long time coming, but it really hasn't been that long. But it's been coming, and it's now here. You know, I got a message on X from someone who said that the bootmobile is here. And I guess the the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile got the boot. Ha ha ha ha. I get it? Because it's the L.L. Bean bootmobile. I was trying to remember if I actually knew about the LL Bean bootmobile,

if this was actually real. And it is. It's the LL Bean bootmobile. Listen, the Oscar Meyer, the Oscar Meyer Weiner vehicle goes around giving away free hot dogs. If LL Bean is giving away a free size 13 LLB Boots. I'm in.

Make a stop. It was good to go. They do tours. It's a 13 foot high, 20 foot long, road ready replica of the main hunting shoe, M-A-I-N-E shoe. If they're giving those away as they're driving around the country

and the L-L-Bin Boot Mobile, I'm in. Stop by. I'm over here. I'm over here. Size 13. I'm over here. You know what?

Yes. I'll take the 14s. That's all you have? No problem. I'll take those. No problem. You don't have the wide? Okay, never mind.

But I've taken them. I want my free pair of LL bean boots. And they probably just throw out a LL bean pair of gloves every now and then and tell you to be happy with the T-shirt. No, I want the main boot. But I have not seen, that's what I will say this. I will say this. I have not seen the LLBin Boot Mobile on the road. and I am looking forward to it

because that's something I really do want to see now. So if you're out and about and you can snap a couple of live shots of the LLB BootMobile, while you're out driving, send it to me at Jeffrey JFR or Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram and Facebook because I want to know it's real

more than just the stories on the internet and I want to know if they, you pull them over. In fact, pull them over, follow them wherever they're going. follow them and see where they go. So to see if they're going, you know, if they're giving away free stuff, because if they're getting climbing up into the top of the LLB BootMobile shoe and tossing free boots out to people, I'm in.

Now, she went on to do various Food Network shows, including Chef Wanted, Chopped, and Food Network Star, New York-born chef and appeared in the cooking competition show, House of Knives. And so everybody loved her. She was this wonderful person. She died at home in New York, at the age of 55. Huh.

That is really weird. She's the bestseller. Cook like a rock star. And she published her second book, Own Your Kitchen Recipes to Inspire and Empower. She also taught at the Institute of Culinary Education. Love them. She's a wife, a sister, daughter, stepmother, friend.

And yet we don't know. What killed her at 55? So I guess we are to believe that it was something horrific and something that nobody knew about, but they're saying that the cause of death will have to be revealed through an autopsy. Wow! You want an autopsy?

Holy cow. I mean, I understand the process of, having an autopsy, getting your body cut up. A lot of people do not like the idea of thinking about their loved ones, getting cut up for an autopsy. But if that's what it takes to find out who killed her, apparently she was found unresponsive in her Brooklyn home. Paramedics responded.

They were not able to revive her. Ooh. And they don't know what killed her. Holy cow. So rest in peace. to Anne Burrell, a food network star, former food network star,

dead at the age of 55. Then we have this story out of Pennsylvania, a 10-year-old boy, Bryson Funk, who won a baseball championship while pitching with his team, then a day later had a devastating heart attack. At the age of 10.

So according to this, bison passed on Thursday as a result of an unexpected myocardial infarction. Huh. Isn't that weird? I mean, it's really sad, and it's horrible to think about it.

And there is a GoFundMe holding, you know, for his parents, which is, you know, I hope people can help them out. The link is titled in memory of Bryson Funk, a champion's farewell, a 10-year-old

boy who had a heart attack. Huh. So we've got a 55-year-old woman that just died in her bed, and we don't know why. And now we have a 10-year-old boy, 10-year-old boy who, according to the experts, had a heart attack? Had a heart attack? A myocardial infarction at the age of 10? Huh. Huh.

rest in peace to Bryce and Funk passed away at the age of 10 everything else surrounding Bryson Funk makes one that just makes you wonder, doesn't it? It just makes one wonder. I'm sure it didn't have anything to do with that or they would have said something, right?

Right. Wow, so it looks like the breaking news of the day is, and I should have had Chris Cruz, No, he's not on the road. He's not out of the road. You don't need to give us a break in news, I should have sent him to either Miami or to the Vatican again, because

we found out that the Pope, Pope Leo, is related to Madonna. I know. Amazing. No, easy. Take it easy. No, no, it's okay. It's okay.

It's a related, it's a distant family member. It's fine. So they researched the genealogy from both the Pope's mother and father's side. Madonna and the Pope share a common Canadian ancestor, Louis Boucher de Grand Prix, who was born in Quebec. Okay. Now, according to this, the Pope also has other famous Canadian-derived distant cousins, all right including

Angelina Joe Lee Hillary Clinton Justin Bieber Jack Carrack and former Canadian Prime Minister and Justin Trot Troutreau I know

the guy is related to everybody calm down you're the Pope already Wow All right, get rid of the, we got you. I know, I know, queen, it's okay, fine. She's not the queen, Jeff, okay?

That's Madonna. I know. Right? I know. All right. Wow, she's not going to be taking the Pope there, though. That's just wrong. Okay, so just congratulations to Madonna

and all the other people who have now made the list as being distant relatives and or cousins to the Pope. So does that make her a cousin? Let's see, her mother, see, Madonna and the Pope sharing a common Canadian ancestor. Okay, so they're just, there's somewhere in the bloodline. She's not, you know, I don't know that that's actually a cousin, but possibly doesn't say that. The others, the others, Angelina Jolie, Hillary Clinton, Bieber, Justin Trudeau,

this, they were under the heading of distant cousins. I don't know if Madonna is like two or three times removed or five or six or seven times removed, but she's part of the Pope's bloodline. So apparently the New York Times did this collaboration with the American

Ancestors and the Cuban Genology Club of Miami. I love them. And you want to know something. You go to the American Ancestors and the Cuban Genocide Club in Miami. Genealogy,

say the word correctly. Amorph a phallus. That's exactly what they call themselves. So anyway, congratulations to Madonna and the Pope for being related, because sure it means a lot to him. Wow. Okay, and we have another star

in trouble again with sexual assault allegations. Tyler Perry. Tyler Perry. Did you have that on your bingo square? Tyler Perry? sexual assault in 2025? I think not. No, you can ring that bell all you want,

but I think not. I do not think that you did. So apparently, this guy, Derek, who originally Tyler picked out of a crowd and said, oh, you look great. I might have some work for you.

It took his number and he did have work to him. Work for him. According to Derek, he also had a little work. worked for him. I think you know what I'm saying. Now, so he got him a job and he actually hired him and got a hold of him and got him a job. And he was part of a couple of shows for Tyler. He had a small role in Ruthless, two episodes in Ruthless. And then in 2020, he, Tyler was invited

to Tyler's Atlanta home. And he accepted, hoping to build a friendship that would lead to more acting gigs. Uh-huh. But Derek drank too much and ended up sleeping in a guest room. Now, in the documents, Derek claims Tyler got into bed with him and started touching his thighs. And although he rejected his advances that night, he claims Tyler remained interested. Shortly thereafter, Derek says he landed the role of Dale in the Oval, which was great

for his career. But he claims that it was around this time that Tyler also started. firing off sexually suggestive texts, hope he saved those, including asking what Drew's sexual preferences were and telling him he has sex with men. Now, the character that he played in the Oval was the same kind of character

that Tyler Perry, according to Derek, was looking for. Oh, okay. So he kept telling him that he wasn't, I'm not your type of not doing that. Well, gosh, darn it. Then, wouldn't you know, I was staying at the gathers. house and that's what you do when you're scared about you don't have having some kind of sexual

uh tromp with someone that you don't want you stay at the guest house that's what you do so apparently uh as he was staying at the guest house because he went there hoping to get more work uh so he went there and uh he was in the guest house just wearing his underwear when he claims tyler came in to give him a good night hug because that's what you do when you have people staying over in your guest house, especially if you have Derek staying over at your guest house. I got to go give them a good night hug. Oh, yeah.

Derek, I'm so glad you decided to stay on property tonight. Oh, yeah. Okay, so that's when the most aggressive incident allegedly occurred. Okay. So apparently, I'm sorry. This is what's being alleged. All right. Tyler yanked down his underwear, groped his butt, and said,

Relax, just let it happen. And assured him it wasn't going to hurt. Dixon says he managed to, no, there was no out. So there wasn't. That's what I'm saying. There was not. He said he managed to rebuff this advance by changing the subject. okay

all right there's no way that's true there's no way that's true but you look at the are you seeing the moon tonight it's beautiful isn't it I think we're getting a full moon

we should go outside and look how about those dolphins and so he complained to the EEOC quit the Oval and saying he could no longer put up the put up with the alleged sexual harassment

he's suing Tyler Perry and a Tyler Perry studios for quid pro quo and workplace sexual harassment and sexual assault and battery. Now, after struggling through all of this, it doesn't say that he actually ever did have sex with him. It says there was a couple times Tyler laid with him and rubbed his thighs. And then when he came to give him a hug at night, he pulled down his underwear and told him to relax and go with him, but he changed the subject so nothing happened. So I don't know that there was ever any actual assault

unless you know rubbing the thighs counts as assault but all this struggle has made him realize that well $260 million would make him feel better and everything just to go away. I just want to be clear $260 million would make me go away as well

let's go away if someone wants to give me Tyler Perry if you want me to stay at your guest house and you want to come in and rub my thighs my thighs for $260 million I'll do it for $2,000 How about that? Are we bargaining now?

No, okay, no, we're not. So, okay. It's all right, 260 then. Well, I won't go underneath him. I won't try to undercut him. So now, obviously, the complaint is agonizing, and Tyler has denied all of this, and we'll see what comes of it.

I mean, that's just another strange story. According to this, Dixon has been suffering from depression and anxiety and stomach pains and nausea. Now a lot of that, some people would say that's what happens when you falsely claim that you were attacked by a rich guy and $260 million

would solve it. I don't know that though. Maybe it really happened and that's what it does. Now, of course, Tyler denies all of this and just says it's a big ruse and that's why this guy, you know, once he got Tyler's attention

by getting a job, then he had this plan all in place. So we'll see what happens, but I did not have Tyler Perry being accused of sexual well I'm sorry it's not sexual assault it's quid pro quo

and workplace sexual harassment oh and sexual assault and battery so it is in there sexual assault and battery is in there but it doesn't talk about so I guess I guess pulling down your underwear counts as sexual assault and battery yes Jeff it does

okay okay okay 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. Conditions apply. So if you're listening live today, it is the 18th of June, 2025. We're just a couple of days away from summer, which will be the longest day of the year. Yay! But, and I know you thought we're not in summer already?

Not officially. No, not officially. We are in hurricane season officially, but we're not officially in summer. Anyway, this Sunday, the 22nd, not only as I talked about yesterday, Bernie Sanders, showing up in Fort Worth, Texas. Austin is supposed to have the Elon Musk Tesla Robotaxies launching Sunday in Austin. Now, that might change. It's been quite some time. Elon's been teasing that for a while. Robotaxis have been expanding all.

over the country, all over the country, but not the Tesla robot taxis. So according to Elon, the exact date could change because Tesla is being super paranoid about safety. So there you have it. But if you're looking forward to the Tesla robot taxi, I'm sorry, just the robot taxi, robot taxi, it's not a robot taxi. So you're going to have a problem And because it's supposed to be here on Sunday It might not be because they're being super critical For safety

Because right now While there's been some issues with some of the robo taxis I don't think there's really been anything terrible happened That wasn't because of man It wasn't the robo taxi that caused the issue It was the damn humans that caused the problem so if we could just get rid of the humans and let the robots run and everything

that would be just a better way of life wouldn't it? No, really? Really, wouldn't it? Of course it would. You know, you know that. You know, I'm right. All right, let's get out of here.

Let's get out of here. I've gotten enough people in trouble today. I'll just leave you with a joke of the day. This was sent to chewing the fat at the blaze.com. And I've heard this before, actually, and I laughed and I laughed again when I read it earlier this morning to do it for you today.

and it has to, I can tie it in with Elon's Robo Taxi, okay? Because this guy had an Uber, so he was using a human. How long before we get to Uber Robo Taxis? I mean, those have to be soon, right? Humans got to, we gotta get rid of the humans is what we have to do. I tapped my Uber driver on the shoulder,

and he screamed and swerved and slammed into a tree. And I said, dude, you, why are you so jumpy? He said, I'm sorry. This is my first day with Uber. I've been driving a hearse for 20 years. See? Because he figured at some point, now you understand.
