Those of you that have become accustomed to just

showing up at Starbucks and sitting there and hanging out and, you know, not buying anything, not doing anything, just, you know, people watching at Starbucks and using the restroom, those days are over, okay? This newly updated coffeehouse code. of conduct, states that Starbucks spaces are for use by our partners and customers. This includes our cafes, patios, and restrooms, prohibits harassment, violence, outside alcohol, smoking, begging, and threatening language inside the establishments. Water is also reserved only for paying customers. So if you don't want to follow this code,

get out. Get out of here. So the languishing at Starbucks is over. Remember this all started back in the, because of Philadelphia. That was a long time ago now. It seems like another lifetime ago. I think it was,

I gosh, I bet you it was, does it say in this story? Yeah, 2018. I mean, it was a lifetime ago. That's at least two lifetimes ago, 2018. Ah, remember the good old days of 2018. Yeah, me too. Anyway, they had the two guys in there,

the two black guys that weren't buying anything, and the fight started, it was all a racial, then it turned into a big race thing, and they had race riots in Philly. Starbucks apologized, shut down for their race training. They fired the manager. The manager ended up getting, I don't know, millions of dollars in a lawsuit for firing him.

They settled with the two guys. Starbucks was just paying out money left and right. And apparently the last three quarters for Starbucks, they have seen declining sales. So the new CEO, what's his name, Brian Nicole, or Nicol, NICCOL, he has decided that, yeah, we have to turn this. thing around. We need to turn this thing around. And one way to turn this thing around is,

I don't know, kick the bobs out. Okay. Now, if you have to, if you stop at a Starbucks, let's say you pull in, you have to go to the bathroom. Now, you haven't purchased coffee. You haven't, you haven't purchased anything. Are they going to turn you down and say, no, you can't use the restroom? I don't think so. I mean, if I had, look, I have a Starbucks app on my phone. I'm just saying, I'm a customer. Let me in. I'm going to go. No problem. But you can't just hang out there anymore. Sorry.

I'm very disappointing. That very well may happen. They're going to arm the baristas are going to be armed. Look, they've cut down on all their different coffees that you can buy at Starbucks because the baristas were claiming that they had to work too hard. And it was just a line. It was driving them crazy. Right.

We can't. There's too many. I can't do he wanted a cappuccino And I didn't have time Because I had to I had to get another French vanilla cappuccino For the drive-thru And I had this guy with the lollipop at the counter

And I just, I couldn't do it I couldn't do it Could you find a new job? No, I could only work at Starbucks That's it So they're making do I mean they're trying to appease the workers And they're a bunch of those stores

are now going union. They're making a reunion. That's right. I'm not serving those. I'm not doing that. Yeah, no, I'm not making that. Sorry. So by the 27th of this month.

So we're just days away. All right. It's the 15th. If you're listening live today, it's January 15th, 2025. So January 27th is the day that the new rules go into effect

at Starbucks. So if you want to go and hang out and not buy it. anything and get a free glass of water and use the restroom for free. You have until the 27th. Or maybe you don't. If you're a Starbucks manager, do you start carrying around like, hey, you didn't buy anything?

Yeah, that's what I thought. Get out. Oh, no, we're not going to, I don't think they're going to shoot anybody at Starbucks. They're just going to, they're just going to warn you. Oh, one customer gone. welcome just a joke okay just a joke

welcome to chewing the fat I believe I've had these before the frozen tequitos they have been recalled at Aldi for all you Aldi shoppers out there I know I know many of you

shop at Aldi the product Casa Mamita chicken and cheese takitos I believe I've actually had, I don't know that I've actually had Casa, Mamita, chicken and cheese tequitos but I have had the frozen tequitos before.

Avocados from Mexico. Yeah, I don't know. They're not made with avocados from Mexico. And in fact, this story was sent to me at chewing the fat at the blaze.com under the subject line, Ariba, Ariba. Avocados from Mexico.

No, that's not the right. It's not the right one. It's Arriba, Arriba. I mean, it's me saying it. So it's pretty much the same thing you just heard. Only it's different because it's coming from the computer. Arriba, Arriba. See what I mean?

It's the same thing. Only it's not. So I want to bring something up here. I was trying to look for that. And someone put it in the computer obviously wasn't me because it's misspelled Arriba. So it's Araiba. It's Arriba in the computer. We have to remember that.

It's Arriba. So when we're looking for... Arriba, Arriva. It's actually a Ryba, Arriba. Arriba. It's completely different than if I were just to say, Arriba, Arriba. Now, it's not the same thing.

And you could tell. Arriva, Arriba, Ariba, Ariba. Is it live or is it Memorex? I don't know. No one even knows what that... That's an old commercial in itself. Live or Memorex. There are no Memorex.

X tapes anymore. I think there are actually, but they're tough to find. Anyway, the Casa Mamita chicken and cheese tequitos have been recalled from Aldi, the 20-ounce boxes, because of, well, they may contain a foreign object. And we're not sure what that foreign object is, but it's some kind of metal. I don't know where it came from. They don't say in the story, yeah, Bill dropped a can in the frozen tequito boxes. Nothing. They just say, nope, for an object, possible metal. So if you purchase those in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, pretty much, I'm not going to read all these states. I mean, there's less states that have it than have been recalled.

Then do that. It's the United States. Okay. Which states do not have it. But now that you're talking about recalling, have you ever had an issue to return or to throw the, like, have you had those products at your house? A recalled product? Yeah. Sure.

And what did you do with that product? I throw the product away and then I tell the store that I purchased it. And they give me a... And they give you whatever. Okay. So do you remember... Actually, I think the last time I... I think maybe I took the product back.

But it doesn't matter. They don't care. Yeah, they don't care. They just want you to throw it away. Yeah. Because one of the reasons why I listen to this broadcast is for the recalls. You're an L.D. chopper. I am an L.D. chopper.

I do this story is just for you, as a matter of fact. Thank you. I appreciate you. Don't eat the tacos. I'm not Mexican. But hey, it's not tacos. Or tecola. And that's the same thing.

Anyways, but did you remember the story about the guy that was ejaculating to the soap? Do you remember that story? You know what? Sadly, I believe I do recall. That story came from this broadcast years ago. Like I'm talking about years ago. Did you know that that story, still lingers in my head.

Oh, I'm sorry. Every time I wash my hands, I think about, wait, hold up. This is a fill-up one. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. It is not a separate one. It could happen. It could happen.

Yes, it could. So every time I hear a recall or any, any story like that, I'm expecting something dramatic that gives me PTSD. This is just metal. Oh, it's just metal. No one at the, at the tequila plant, we're pretty sure that, no, you know, no male or female was ejaculating into the tequitos.

I just want to make sure because every time you recall something, I pucker up. Yeah, well, I mean, people were complaining that they were metal wire embedded into the, into some of the tequitos. Which one? Like, is it the dough? Is it the fake meat? Yeah, it doesn't say.

It doesn't say. Well, aren't you the reporter? I know, but it doesn't say. What can I tell you? The report isn't there. I just know, we need to get tequitos on the line. There's no doubt about that. Maybe Aldi can help us out.

Get someone from Aldi on the line and that the manager will go, I have no idea. Well, they don't even give you bags. So you do you think they're going to. Thank you. So if you or your family members love the Casa Mamita chicken and cheese tequitos. It's Casa Mamita. That's what I just said. No.

Casa Mamita. No, Mamita. That's what I said. One more time. Casa Mamita. Yeah, Mamita. Chicken and cheese tequitos You start right and you end it wrong

It doesn't matter how you pronounce it It's been recalled And I know all the people suffering from the fires In California don't care about recalls And they don't care they're not really concerned about Starbucks right now Although they will be As soon as things start to rebuild I mean we have four big fires still burning

In California The latest one is the auto fire which has burned 61 acres and has been burning for a couple of days now but that's 47% contained. Then we have the Hearst Fire that has been burning for eight days that has burned 799 acres

that is 97% contained so we almost got it. I mean it's still burning sure but it's almost contained. Then you have the Eaton fire that is 14,117 acres burned. That's been burning for eight days. That is

45% contained. So it's almost out. I mean you can just write that one off as out. It's 45% contained. And then of course the horrific Palisades fire which has burned to 23,713

acres. That's been burning for eight days. Interesting how the Palisades Eaton and Hearst fires have all been burning for the same amount of time. Is it it? Anyway, the Palisades fire is 19% contained. Holy cow.

That is still, I mean, that's amazing. And they're still talking about, you know, how the strong winds are going to fuel the wildfires, at least through today. And we saw how, you know, the storms were, the windstorms were kicking up. So, I mean, just the devastation is horrific. And if you want to help and you don't know how,

you can always donate to Mercury 1 as 100% of your donations will go to help the victims of these fires. Mercury 1.org. Yesterday we mentioned that the Grammy Awards was still happening. The Grammys are, but they are canceling all their other Grammy events around the awards. So you don't get any of the, they don't get to glad hand and slap each other on the back

for the upcoming week of the Grammys, but they will hold the 67th Grammy Awards on CBS February 2nd. Is it going to be in the same place? I mean, it's scheduled for the crypto arena. I'm sure that they'll be okay at the crypto, although they've been canceling events there as it is because of air quality and everything else,

so we'll see if that's exactly where they're going to have it. But they claim they're going to do. continue to have the Grammy Awards and it's going to be a fundraiser for the fire victims and remember what we talked about yesterday and there are going to be all kinds of events like this

raising money for these fire victims which is good I have no problem with that but someone needs to keep an eye on where all that money goes because I mean I would never deep pocket any money like that being given for

victims but I mean you have, you know, business costs. I mean, that's what makes Mercury One so special. Oh, you know, 100% of all the donations go to the victims. That's the way it works. They have a, they have their gathering every year that raises money so that they can pay the bills so that when you donate to these disasters, all of that money, 100% goes to the victims.

And that's important. And, you know, someone keeps an eye on it. And that's the way it's supposed to be. But these events like this, remember Haiti? Man, millions of dollars were given to Haiti. And I lived in Florida at the time. And every grocery store you went into, every lane had canisters that they wanted people donating money to Haiti.

And so that the stores were able to say how much money they gave to the Haiti resurrection fund or whatever the hell they called it. What happened to all that money? Anybody take a look at that money because Haiti? it appears that not a lot of it went there to me. I could be wrong, but it just appears that not a lot of it went there. So I would like to see all the money raised for these victims from this horrific fire to be the ones getting the money and the help.

I know. It's just me. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. What? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won!

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close you, call 18665330 or visitcomicsonterio.ca. Coming to a theater building, I don't know, structure. near you soon. In Paris, the Getelareque Theater.

The La Guette de la Rique theater. Is that Italian? De La Gaita L'Eleke. Now that's still Italian. It's a French word. Okay. It's what their title. It's Gente L'Rique.

Gete L'Rique. Gete L'Rique. Getel Eire. Theater. Getter the Rique Theater. Okay, so anyway, they had a big gathering on December 10th. Okay, so we're a month out from this big event where they invited migrants, this collective youth program, and they had these migrants come in, and these migrants wanted housing, and they wanted money, and they wanted everything, and it needed to be for free.

and that they were they were promoting tolerance of migrants that they brought in on December 10th. Well, when they invited them in, they came in and they never left. They decided we're taking over the joint. So I don't care what, if you're in Italy or if you're in France, Gentelerique, that's not open anymore, okay?

And they're talking about going bankrupt now, just shut down because the migrants won't leave. We're here to claim our right to housing, health and education. Okay. So 200 illegal migrants have taken over the Gertelerie Theater in Paris. Demanded houses, demanded to be put up for free. And the theater, again, is blaming the government because they don't want to kick these migrants out in the winter

because it's cold. And maybe we thought about that before you came into the country, but that's just me. So they've been demanding housing for the migrant use. And so this is happening all over the world.

It's happening wherever you go. Hello! It's winter! Thank you. And say they should have thought about that before they took over and maybe they realized it. That's why they just said, yep, we're going to go to this thing and we're not leaving.

Hello, it's winter. Which is why they're not leaving. And they want free housing and they want free food. They want it all. Everybody got time for that? But they do because the theater is like, the theater's pissed. They want to get rid of them, but they don't want to get rid of them because they don't want to just ship them out to the cold. Oh, they're not.

Oh, for sure, this theater is not going to start loading up guns against these migrants. Because they're on the migrant side. they're just bummed that they now have to they're thinking about you know having to file for bankruptcy because they can't open they can't do business and you know so what do you do

I mean I guess you know someone would say yeah load them up hello it's winter that's why they won't leave what don't you understand about that they won't leave but they should have thought about that

before they before they came to France said maybe they did, maybe they've been there for a while. And then they realized, Hello, it's winter. And they said, we can't have that. It's too cold.

And we're going to take over this theater, and they're going to have to drag us out. Ain't nobody got time for that? And they will, though. Pretty soon they'll get dragged out of that place. And we'll see. And the theater will be pissed because we've got to respect human dignity. And this is just unthinkable.

Okay, well, how about you house them? And you are, and now you're pissed. So you're caught in between a rock and a hard place because you want to help them. And that's your whole point. But you want them gone too because you want to stay open for business. So good luck. Good luck. God bless.

And just always remember that this time of year. Hello! It's winter! Important to always remember that. What is going on with Mark Zuckerberg? Is it all just a ruse? I think it is. I think it is, but we'll see

because I see where he has now said that he is going to cut 5% of meta's workforce. That's like 3,600 employees, targeting its lowest performing workers to kick off what Zuck has said is going

to be an intense year. Ooh. That means that there's going to be more than 3,600 employees getting the boot. I see where they're making the case now that that Mark Zuckerberg, Zuck, as I call.

We're friends. Zuck and I hang out. That after his knee surgery, he started taking testosterone, and he's now becoming, you know, more manly. And that's their case. You know,

sunlight, red meat, and testosterone, you two can become healthier and think more clearly. That's awesome. And then they make the case that Bezos is. doing the same thing. You know, after making their wealth,

they went on a fitness regime and injected themselves with testosterone. So, you know, maybe that's the case. Maybe he's doing the testosterone replacement therapy, and it rewired his brain. That's what they're trying to say.

And is that possible? Yes, but that's an uphill battle for testosterone to, make Zuckerberg more manly. But I mean, he's fighting, right? He's MMA fighting. He thinks he's Mr. Tough guy.

And anybody could be a tough guy when they have a dozen security people around them, just saying, because he never travels without his security. And I don't blame him for traveling with his security. But, you know, he's got the wife telling him what to do and making his, I don't know, breeding his special cows in Hawaii for food. and he's just

a swarmy guy swarmy swarmy swarmy just one of those this is a swarmy guy and so we'll see he is

is that true I was just told him out of here that Mark Zuckerberg is going to be in the new Yellowstone playing some swarmy character and honestly I believe it but I'm told that that was just made up

and not true so just know that when you hear that Zuck is in Yellowstone you heard it here first now let's go to the break room I need something cold to drink desperately so Rashida Jones is out

at MSNBC she was the CEO and she said I'm out Have a nice day. She, now the news, I feel like we talked about her possibly getting the boot anyway, so this may have been something in the works. But, you know, plus their NBC Universal is getting ready to cut MSNBC from the main cord. So, okay.

They apparently announced that the incoming CEO of Spinco has named R. Rebecca Cutler, interim president of the cable news channel. That's announced from Mark Lazarath, who is the incoming CEO of Spinco. So she said she was on a call, which is great. I'm sure they all love having those weekly calls. She said she's going to exit after four years. She came to the decision over the holidays. I'm really excited about what we've done.

Me too, Rashida. you people at MSNBC have done great work. I'm excited about what's next. I bet you are because it's not going to be at MSNBC and it's not going to be listening to what's her face, complain that she's got to work five days a week now. Rachel Maddow whining,

whining to her calling Rashida on the phone. Are you kidding me? Ideal is for me to only work one day a week and now you want me to work five? So I'm sure it's been, you know, a nightmare for Rashida. Anyway, she's excited about what you guys are going to do next. That's what she told everyone on the call, the editorial call for MSNBC.

And she said that I'm excited to watch it from afar. Well, I'm really excited that this is the right time for me. So I wanted to share with you guys directly. You know how I also feel about telling you guys news as it comes in real time. But I wanted you guys to hear that from me directly. Thanks, Rashida, man. I appreciate it.

The uplifting phone call there. So she's heading the bricks. Have a nice day. Rashida Jones at MSNBC. I also see where Direct TV, as we're talking about a little cable and what's happening. And I see where DirecTV launched a sports streaming service with content from the NFL.

and other big leagues for $70 a month. So we'll see if that catches up with VMO and what they were doing, right? I mean, it's just everybody wants a piece of the NFL action, and I don't blame them. Everybody wants a piece of that live sports, no question. I see where Saudi Arabia, their sovereign wealth fund, which is, I mean, it's just unlimited money. I mean, if the Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund would like to invest in a show called Chewing the Fat, I am available to discuss the amount that could be invested from the sovereign wealth fund because they have seriously unlimited funds.

They are now dealing, they are now in the middle of dealing with DeZone, and they're looking to invest $1 billion in DeZone. So that's good news for DeZone, man. I have actually watched many things on DeZone. They promote a lot of things, and I know that my son has a subscriber shift as his own. But, I mean, I personally don't. But my brush with DeZone means that I have access to them.

But if Saudi Arabia is going to give them a billion bucks, I'm sorry, invest $1 billion, they're going to be knocking out some content and that's going up against Netflix and they're live with WWE which is what they're really trying which is what's really fighting because Netflix is making a dent man

with their live sports at WWE with Monday Night Raw and they still have contracts with other countries around the world to air WWE so as soon as those contracts are up then they're going to go to Netflix so, because right now it's maybe just the U.S. that has WWE

and then the other countries come on board as the contracts are up with companies like DeZone. Huh. So we'll see, you know, they're going to need that billion dollars if everybody's going to be dropping DeZone

to go to Netflix. Just a thought, though, I don't know. Don't look at me. I don't know. Saudi Arabia. At Jeffrey JFR on X is my X account. Jeff Fisher

You can at Jeffrey JFR on Cameo. You can order a cameo for me at any time. It's not free, but it's worth every darn penny. And I don't know how I would, I'd have to be a separate feed. It wouldn't be through Cameo. If I gave you a cameo video, I'd give you a cameo like video. I'd give you a cameo like video But it wouldn't be through cameo

Because I think I can We'll have to see I have to try that out I guess I just have to order it for myself Right I have to order the cameo to myself To whoever I want to give the cameo To Either way

Saudi Arabia Wealth Fund I'm here for you I'm here for I know you're struggling You don't know what to do with those billions of dollars I could be happy with I don't need a billion

I'm not DeZone I'm not greedy like those dezoned bastards I'll tell you that I don't need a billion so let's just chewing the fat at the blaze dot com is the email address 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 apparently, my show has now become a

workplace venting ground. I feel you have an idea here. It's a great idea. People will tune in because, think about it, little gossip, little Blaze TV gossip?

I should know. Blaze Media gossip. Yeah, this is Blaze Media gossip. So Fisher. So here at Mercury Studios. Mercury Studios. The home of Blaze Media. Blaze Media.

It's time for a listening ear. That's what I need. What I need is to listen in ear. I'm here for you. Thank you, baby. So, I know your opinion on kids coming to work. They should not be here. Well.

Exactly. So no kids should be here. Well, not necessarily. What's your idea? What's your perspective on dogs at work? Oh, people bringing animals. Yeah. Oh, so.

Okay, it's fine. Bringing animals to work. Now, I've brought some animals. I brought tortoises. Shell purposes. Shell purposes. I brought chickens. Again, show purposes. I brought capabera that Glenbeck killed. So he murdered your capoebaer. He murdered my capabre. Is that true? He petted it. I took it home, had a seizure, died. So one plus one equals two. It does. That does the math works. There's a rat. walking around in this building by the name of a dog. Now, it's camouflage as a dog. Yeah, what's her face?

Brings her little dog with her. They call him a dog. I call him a rat. And I just saw him. I actually tried to get him to, I try to kidnap the dog, try to get it to come to Glenn's little door to hit the sensor so I can just grab it.

Oh, yeah. But it's not even the sensor registered it. So what's your thoughts on animals to a dog brought at work? I hate the idea. No, it's okay. No, but it's not okay because think about it. Because our leader, Glenn used to drag us stupid.

But that's different. Is it though? Isn't that a protect? Yes, but that's still. When the email went out, you know this, when the email went out, that was the first time they said, it is a working dog.

Do not pet it. Yeah, I know. I got it. This one, they want you to pet it. I was here when they delivered it. I've been the dogs at the house. This one, she wants you to pet it and cut it. It's actually wearing

wings like a little cupid dog winter jacket on now no cupid dog like he has little cupid wings little heart wings yeah I don't understand why you would have to bring it to work well here's another one

I know my family listens to this podcast so they're going to be they're going to feel attacked oh no but this is not this is Chris now I you know but I know this comes from the top dog of our family. Okay. He shares

the same, but I don't know if he actually has shared it with the family. Oh. But I agree with him. Why do you have to... Don't listen anymore. Pause the pause the podcast. If your last name is Simpson, pause it right here. If you're listening live, pause it.

Yeah. Why do you have to bring your dog to my house? Well. Or events. Oh. Or family gatherings. Or family gatherings.

Or family. parties. Why does your dog have to accompany, you know, like, come with you? Can your dog not stay at home? No, apparently a lot of animals can't. But you'd be, like I understand. Or you don't have someone to take care of them. I understand if it's overnight. If it's overnight, I understand that. But if it's, I don't know, you know, I could get together like a, I don't know, a Thanksgiving dinner. Do we need to have little yuppie dogs,

running around. No, we do not. No, we do not. But that's, but she would, this girl here. Yes, she brought the dog to the party. That dog goes everywhere. Yeah, that dog goes everywhere. And I, I'm not quite sure I understand that.

I don't understand that insecurity. Yes. Of not being able to travel without the dog. And I also feel like the line of service dog and pets is no longer there. No, absolutely. I went to HB yesterday. All you have to do is just say service dog. Not even that.

How dare you question my dog? What happened to? No shoes, no shirt, no service. Those days are long gone. And so now, so, you know, we're going to make this, you know. I said five minutes. We've already pissed the family off, pissed the coworkers off. Glenn's assistant.

So I didn't even go that far. I told you when I walked in before you turn on that mic, I said, I know what you told me. I wanted, I wanted my. hard to be. I don't understand, I seriously, I don't understand the insecurity of having to bring the dog everywhere. I think that's what it is. And now that you said that, I think it is insecurity. I think is, oh my gosh, I have to stop talking because I'm going to offend a lot of people. Okay. I think is. Because now you want people to recognize the dog.

Well, not just that. Yes. You weren't love as a child. And you realize that when people pet your dog or acknowledge your dog, I don't know, They're acknowledging new and you get in the love that you did not get because your daddy did not give you the love that you got. And yes, I'm talking about it's mostly women that bring the little chihuahuas or Yorkies or schnauzers or teacup poodles. I used to produce the one, Jackie. She had a dog? She had a dog? Bring her stupid dog in here all the time.

Yes, she could never leave anywhere without that stupid three-legged dog. So it's unbelievable That was my five minutes of How much did you all owe you for this? That's fine Your time's up to clock is up So okay But thank you for letting me

I don't know that we resolved anything Oh we did But I feel great Okay Now I may have pissed off every woman That's listening to your podcast That carries her dog Because they're gonna go back home

Be like oh my gosh My daddy didn't love me And Chris getting in trouble With his family and coworkers Reminded me that We've got one person Who died today So who died today?

Who died today? Tony Slattery. Tony Slattery. And you're going to say, Tony Slattery, who is Tony Slattery? Well, he was a British comedian, an actor.

And you would remember him from the improv show, Whose Line Is It Anyway, which was awesome. And Tony, when you see Tony, he's another one of those people that you'd go. Oh, yeah, him. He had a, heart attack and died. So very sad. And so

I'm sure I didn't have anything. I'm sure the heart attack was not brought on by anything, you know, like that. Because it doesn't say that in the story. It just says Tony suffered a heart attack and died. So, rest in peace.

Tony Slatery, another person who you'd know when you see. 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 rink on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice, yes, we deliver those.

So I don't know if there's going to be a gold rush or not,

but they claim that they just found gold deposits in Pakistan at the Indus River estimated at 32.6 metric tons and valued at 600 billion rupees. Now, I don't know what that means in U.S. dollars. In fact, let's find out. Okay, so 600 billion rupees in Pakistan, 600 billion rupees would be $6,942 million U.S. dollars. So that's not bad.

It's not quite what you'd have a gold rush for, but it's not bad. And you may, I don't know that Pakistan is going to allow you. Come out in. Yeah, you can panhandle down there at the old Indus River there. Go ahead and get yourself some gold. I'm guessing that's not going to happen in Pakistan. But I don't know. I don't know, so maybe you give it a shot

and get your piece of the Pakistan gold rush happening right now. Or you can see, I see where a guy sold his hot wheel collection for $19,911. Now, I think

I would have, I would have wanted more. All right, so he had 4,500 cars, according to this story, 4,500 hot wheel cars, and he sold it on bring a trailer which I love man you can't tear me away from

bring a trailer and he stole it for $19,911 so they're all the collectors are all happy this guy has been collecting his hot wheels for 30 years 30 years he's collected these things and you're going to give it up for $19,000

look I need I'm not turning down $19,000 you come in here you give me 19 grand I'm taking it whether you're the Saudi Arabia wealth fund or whoever you are, I'm taking your 19 grand, if you give it to me. I'm not turning it down. I'm not snubbing my nose

at 19,000. But if I've collected these things, for 30 years, and I have 4,500 hot wheel cars, and it looks like he's got him, he's kept a great shape, he's got them in boxes, he's got them all rowed up, and he's going to let it go for $19,000.

I'm not, I mean, $19,900, not even $20,000. thousand, it just seems like, it seems like something else is going on. Something else is going on. Maybe he needs money, he's got a health thing. I don't know. We should have talked to him.

I'll just say it something else is going on. I hope everything else is okay. Because, I mean, he's got special edition cars and the treasure hunt cars and the color shifters and the collaboration cars. And, I mean, it's incredible that he has all these hot wheels. and we're going to give them away for $19,000. I just feel like something else is going on.

So the largest, and this isn't the largest collection, okay? So the largest collection in the world, I guess, goes to this Mark Zarnock, who reportedly owns over 30,000 cars. And a YouTuber known as O Dogg claims to have 50,000 cars. The final sale price of 19,000. translates to approximately $4.42 per car. Significantly higher than the initial bid

of $5,555. So someone's just trying to under out, you know, I'll give them $5,000 for them, okay. Fine. Yeah, whatever, I got them for you. You know, good for him and the collection is cool, and he's probably happy. The wife is probably happy to have these damn things gone. I'll tell you that.

That room over there that you got the hot wheels in. out. I got to go. I don't care what you get for them. They got to go. Okay? Have a nice day. And maybe that's it.

Maybe it's just to have peace and quiet, whatever, just take them. I want her to shut up. I'm going to take my $19,911. I have pictures of all these cars. I could scroll through them. I've got them on my computer. I can just look at them anytime I want.

And I don't have to hear it from her. Okay, she is me off my back. That's what it is. That's exactly what it is. So congratulations to, congratulations to my man who is unnamed for getting $19,911 for his $4,500. He doesn't even want to name his, he doesn't even want his name in the story. That's what it is, it's the wife. He's embarrassed.

He's embarrassed. It says he's from Rome, New York. probably a lie. He doesn't want people to know where he's from, who he is, he's getting rid of this just to have the wife off his back. And congratulations to the

unnamed collector. You've done it. You've gotten her off your back. But I got news for you. You haven't. I appreciate all the emails sent to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. I read them all. I may not comment on them all, but I do read them all. And I got a couple

jokes of the day. I'm not sure. I've got to see if it's the same person, but I've gotten separate emails of Helen Keller jokes. And I'm not sure where the Helen Keller thing is coming from, but one of them was okay. And the other one was kind of mean. But, you know, I mean,

you could make the case that a Helen Keller joke, no matter what it is, is mean. But I'm just, you know, I'm going to tell you what they are. Don't worry about it. But I will say that Scott emailed me back. And I guess it's because I said something about

the Washington commanders beating the Detroit lines would be awesome I would be that would be awesome now maybe maybe I replied to it did I reply to him

no he wasn't the one I replied to I replied to someone else who sent me an email about that very same thing about the rookie quarterback you know going to the Super Bowl and that would mean that you know Jaden would have to beat the Lions, which I said in the email, it could happen.

Doubtful, though, but it could happen. And my email to this other person was the Lions fans who believe that it's their destiny this year would be devastated. Saturday night, baby. Saturday night is the game. So anyway, Scott emails me saying, Jeffrey, how could you say Washington beating the Lions would be awesome? Could you show us on a doll where Michigan hurt you?

As a matter of fact, Scott, I can. Right here. And also in this email, Scott says, all I can say is no coagels for you. I know, I haven't had coagles in a long time. I've really been Johnson for some coagull hot dogs, too. Anyway, I did, you know, it would be awesome. It would be great.

Daniels, a rookie quarterback, going to the finals or the AFC championships. I mean, they would be the front runners then, right? The NFC championship, I mean, they'd be the front runners then. Well, don't know. You'd have to play the Chiefs, Jeff. Okay.

All right, if you say so, unless C.J. Stroud beats the Chiefs in Kansas City, which would be awesome. Anyway, it would just be awesome. I wouldn't, you know, I don't care. You know, do I want the Lions?

They're going to win. They're going to beat Washington. The Lions aren't going to lose. It's their year. Man, they are playing great football. It's their year. It's going to be Detroit Buffalo. I think that's my prediction. Detroit Buffalo. Pretty sure that's my prediction

this year. Detroit Buffalo, although it could be Detroit Baltimore. One of those. It's going to be, you can quote me on that. It's going to be Detroit Buffalo or Detroit Baltimore or. And so anyway, let's do the joke of the day and get out of

here because we got the, it's the weekend. We have the big games this weekend. We'll see. Some great games, two Saturday, two Sunday. And it's almost over. Then we just have two games, the championship games on the next Sunday, and it's over. I know. I know. That's so sad.

Okay, so the two Helen Keller jokes that I promised, all right? Why, this was sent to me by Neil. I'm not sure if Neil wrote this or if, you know, Neil thinks it's funny, but he sent it to me. All right, so it goes to the joke of the day. Why does Helen Keller's husband always yell at her? I don't know. why does Helen Keller's husband always yell at her? Because she doesn't listen.

See, see, that's just wrong. And then I had this one sent to me, which is another Helen Keller joke. I don't know where they're coming from, but this one's mean. This one's mean. And it was sent to be under the heading of Just for You. So probably shouldn't share.

It shouldn't be sharing it because it's mean, but I'm going to go ahead and share it anyway. How did Helen Keller burn her face? How did it, Jeff? How did Helen Keller? I don't know. See, this is the way it works. I'll teach you how to do the bit, okay? When I say, how did Helen Keller burn her face, you would then say,

I don't know. How did Helen Keller burn her face? All right, we'll try it again. How did Helen Keller burn her face? I don't know. How did she burn her face? How did Helen Keller burn her face? Repeat the line.

That's the bit. Okay? It's not she. It's not how did she? It's how Helen Keller. So the line is, how did Helen Keller burn her face? I don't know, Jeff. How did Helen Keller burn her face?

Ha-da. Bobbing for French fries. See what I mean? It's mean. It's mean. Worth the build-up. I shouldn't have done it, though. You're right.
