It is that time of year. So we get everybody's 20-23 in-review stories. Pew Research Center has gathered the data from this year's defining news stories. Number one, the record high share of 40-year-olds in the U.S. have never been married. pretty amazing number two about half of Americans

say the increased use of artificial intelligence in daily life makes them feel more concerned than excited that's up 14 percentage points from last year the 40-year-olds not having been married

is only up about 6% from 1980 number three the first time in over 30 years of public opinion polling, Americans view the U.S. Supreme Court are more negative than positive. A narrow majority,

54%, have an unfavorable view of the high court. Wow. Just getting beaten up by our legislators. It's a big surprise that's that good. A growing share of U.S. adults say that the federal government should take steps to restrict false information

online, even if it limits freedom of information. How about no? No, 39% in 2018, up to 55% in 2023. Yeah, I remember talking about this because this is just God awful stupid. And we're promoting stupid. No, this should not be the case. Number five, the number five, the number of U.S. children and teens killed by gunfire

rose 50% in just two years. So in 2019, there were 1,732 gun deaths among U.S. children and teens under the age of 18. And by 2021, that figure had increased to 2,590. Okay. I don't know that

that's terrible, but the anti-gun, the gun haters will use that to their advantage for sure. Number six, this is from the Pew Research, you know, year in review from some of the top stories. Most Asian Americans view their ancestral homelands favorably, but not the Chinese. If you're from China, yeah, only about 14% of you believe that we look back on our homeland as being positive. Huh, wonder why that is.

Wonder why that is. Taiwan, 56%. Amazing. Japan, 67%. India, 23. What am I, am I reading this right? Adults of this Asian origin group. Oh, adults.

Okay. All other Asian adults. Because I'm giving you the all other Asian adults. But from the group, Oh, okay, so I'm just looking at this. I'm kind of colorblind, so I'm looking at this chart thinking, okay, but that's not right. All right, so most Asian American adults, sorry, okay? Most Asian adults have positive views of their own ancestral homeland.

Chinese American adults are the exception. 41% of Chinese American adults have a favorable opinion of China. 35% have an unfavorable one. Okay, I got you. I see the color codes now. Okay, I'm with you. Number seven, even before the Israel Hamas war, Israelis had grown more skeptical of a two-state solution. Yeah, we don't want it.

It's stupid. We've offered it many times. We don't want it. And I know there's a rift now that everybody's talking about the rift between President Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu. Yeah, that's because Joe keeps pushing his two-state solution. and Benjamin is like, no, that's not going to happen. Number eight, a majority of Americans say they would tip 15% or less for an average restaurant dining experience,

including 2% who wouldn't leave a tip. Yeah, we've covered the tipping thing quite a bit. Of course, you leave a tip. You have to. That's the American way. Don't look at me like that. You have to. You know you do.

Big cheapies. Number nine, partisan views of Twitter. Twitter. It's now called X, okay? Have shifted over, oh, it says that. The platform, now called X. Okay, thank you for you research. Appreciate it. I have shifted over the last two years with Republican users,

views of the site growing more positive, and those of Democratic users becoming more negative. Huh, wonder why that could be. Wonder why that could be. Goal figure, why that could be. Couldn't have anything to do with not being able to control it anymore on the Democratic side and blocking what Republicans were saying. No, no, never mind.

Number 10 in the Pew Research Recap of 2023, nearly half of U.S. workers who get paid time off don't take all the time off their employer offers. That's a mistake. And I lived that for years. Oh, yeah, we've talked about this because I lived that. And I remember I had one, I don't know, HR director or whatever she, her title was, that told me, no, you have to take it.

Otherwise, you're losing money because you're still getting paid and you may get paid again, but if you don't take that time off, you're losing money because that's your time. And it's like, okay, I get it. But at the time, you feel like you can't take the time off, but you can. No, at the time, you feel like you can't. But you can.

Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fad. So now we have another Me Too movement case that went the wrong way or the right way, depending on whose side you're on. We talked earlier today on Pat Gray Unleashed about the Matt Arisa case, the former almost punter for the Buffalo Bills, who was accused, and now that's over. All the case is dropped. She's not accusing him anymore.

In fact, it never happened. And how does he get any of his life back? I don't know the answer to that. Well, now I see that there's a case from Thomas Jefferson University. Okay? And just ended with the court saying, the court and the jury saying, yeah, he gets $11 million for compensation in his financial loss and $4 million for punitive damages for the universities.

outrageous conduct. I mean, I don't know if it's a cash register or not. I mean, it sounds like a lot of money, but he's got to pay attorneys. And what he would have made may have been more than that. Actually, you know, probably pretty close. That's why the jury gave him that money. Matt or Izza, on the other hand, uh, he's lost a lot of money. And I don't know that he ever recoups that at all. So the story, uh, had begun back in 2018, you know, right around that whole Me Too movement. Huh. Okay, so a medical resident, Jessica Phillips,

accused attending orthopedic surgeon John Abraham at the Thomas Jefferson University of raping her. Okay. And it all began at some alcohol-fueled party back in June of 2018, in Philadelphia. As the party began to wind down, Phillips forced whiskey into Abraham his mouth and began to aggressively kiss him.

According to the man, she pulled him to the floor where they had sex. Man, I hate that when that happens, to be honest. I mean, that's just, I just hate it when that happened. She pulled him to the floor where they had sex. Abraham promptly reported the incident to his supervisor at the university, but his complaint was not forwarded to the Title IX office and never investigated. In the meantime, the woman informed her husband of the incident and filed a complaint. with her residency director.

Four days after the sexual liaison, Abraham received a notice of concern from Jefferson's Title IX coordinator, alleging that he had engaged in non-consensual sexual intercourse. No, no, no, no, no, no. The University Chief Medical Officer also warned Abraham that if he did not immediately take leave of absence, he would be suspended and reported to the medical staff

and national practitioners. database. Okay. So he believes that he had no choice but to step down. I'm sorry, leave of absence. All right. So the university concluded its probe with no findings of responsibility against the man. The police investigation of the incident, likewise, did not result in any charges.

This was in January of 2019, so six months later or so. The damage is done, right? he'd been forced out of his position, his reputation has destroyed, his career in tatters. The acclaimed surgeon was the latest victim of the campus kangaroo court. So a year later, Abraham filed the Title IX lawsuit against the university and, you know, it gets the whole thing for,

they lost his ability to utter the word no. So then that all went to court just this month, a couple of weeks ago, December 3rd, the jury met and said, you know, Yeah, he should get some money. And they gave him $11 million, as I said, in compensation for his losses, and $4 million in punitive damages.

But that's five years, five years of being destroyed. And now the jury says, well, yeah, we believe you. But five years, I guess, you know, $15 million covers that. Yeah, I guess it does. All right, I'm done. Never mind.

But in five years of hell, I wouldn't want to be in that five years. It doesn't really cover it. I mean, I'm happy that he got compensation, but he was already an attending orthopedic surgeon. So he's doing okay. Right? I mean, you're not an orthopedic surgeon at a university

and struggling to leave a tip. you know most likely most likely you're doing okay so I mean that's a lot of money and time and reputation gone from this man so I'm glad that he got

he got his retribution of these false accusations yeah but Jeff me too uh huh yeah me too all right let's go to the break room I need something cold to drink desperately

All right, let me tell you a little something about Quinn Pittman and his goat soap, which you can get at QPgoatsoap.com. Quinn got his first milk goats at the age of nine. He's now 16, 17. We just talked to him a few weeks ago here on chewing. And apparently his love of goats has developed. into a successful goat milk soap-making family business. Yeah, he's the goat king, okay?

And it should be treated as such, as his royal highness, the goat king, Quinn Pittman. Real soap, old school, hand-pored, made from scratch. It cleans while moisturizing in a way that most commercial bars simply don't. Now, you can make the case that they don't because that's, the way they make it. Okay? They make it so it dries out your skin

and then of course you have to keep buying their other products to make your skin soft again. Huh. Because soap shouldn't and doesn't do that when it's made the right way with goat's

milk. And that's what Quinn Pittman discovered when he first started learning about soap. And he's been making it the right way ever since. You want your skin to be clean, but also retain its moisture. You need Goat Soap and you need Quinn's goat soap. I'm sorry, his royal highness, king, Quinn Pittman's goat soap. Go to QPgoatsoap.com.

if you listen to this show of Danzel Washington. I love his work. Why do you love him so much water to marry him? I would. If he was here now, I would say,

hey, Danzel, want to get married? I know you're already married. You've been married to your wife for a long time. You've got children, adult children and everything. But, hey, marry me. You know, I'll give it a shot. What's he going to say?

No. Anyway, he has been cast to star in a Netflix movie as the ancient Carthenean General Hannibal. And the home country of the legendary military commander is taking issue with the casting pick for the role. The North African country of Tunisia, which is beautiful this time of year. numerous news outlets are reporting complaints from Tunisians about the racial and ethnic composition of the actor as not accurate historical portrayal. Now, stopping there for a moment, I don't care, okay?

I'm okay with Danzel being Hannibal, because Danzel will be able to pull it off. He's an actor. That's what we care about, right? Everything doesn't have to be, the trans person doesn't have to be the trans person. Someone who's not trans could play a trans person, someone who's not gay

can play a gay person someone it just drives me insane okay if you're the best actor for the part then you should do the part and the only person so far the only people so far that can be discriminated against is fat people

Hollywood you get to dress up as a fat person and it's still okay in fact it's it's celebrated because you aren't fat and you got to play a fat person okay but it's not here in America

we don't care oh we really don't I mean is Danzo Washington you can play any damn party wants give me a break but I understand you know the accuracy thing they've fought for it

this is themselves eating themselves now right and now Danzel I don't think has ever voiced his appreciation for yeah only trans people could play trans people

yeah that's right only can So the Tunisian member of parliament, Yasmin Mammy, and I don't know if that's their squad in Tunisia, if Yasmin Memi is the head of the squad in Tunisia. This is about defending Tunisian identity and listening to the reactions of civil society. Hannibal is revered hero in Tunisia,

where his name is all over stores, hotels, and even the country's currency. He was responsible for inflicting some of the most devastating losses in a Roman military history. That's the fact. Change.org petition claims that

this miscasting and falsifying history is unacceptable and unethical. We urge Netflix to either cancel their so-called documentary or fact-based film. Yeah, I mean, it's just going to be a... If Danzel star, at it, it's going to be a, and he's, you know, obviously the character,

Hannibal was not African American or black. It's going to be a, you know, fact-based. It's based on a true story. I'm torn. I really, I'm torn because I think, I think Denzel would do a great job, but, you know, this is the hole you've dug for yourself, Hollywood. So, time for you to live with it. Will Netflix bend the knee?

probably probably or they'll just say it won't be made available in Tunisia we'll release it around the globe just not in Tunisia okay that's fine that's fine

we know you're proud we got it so if you have an IP address in Tunisia you're not watching Hannibal on Netflix that would not surprise me that would not surprise me at all. And, you know, of course, it's the end of the year. So other, Netflix is another company that released viewing data across its entire catalog, entire catalog. Really pretty interesting what the, what all the viewing was for different shows. So the top 10 Netflix movies

from January to June of 2023, the mother, 249.9 million. I started that and then I was done with it. Luther, the fallen sun, definitely watch that. 209.7 million hours viewed. Extraction, extraction 2, 201,000, or 201.8 million. 201.8 million. I would say the numbers right.

I'm turning to Joe Biden. And, you know, definitely watch that. You people, I did not watch that. I couldn't bring myself to watch that. Murder mystery. Murder mystery two. I feel like I didn't watch that. Your place or mine?

No. Glass onion and knives out mystery? Yep, watch that. 142.9 million. Oh, we have a ghost? No. The pale blue eye. You can write your own jokes with that movie.

And AKA 120 million dollars. Those are the top movies for Netflix during that time span, January through June, the first six months of 2023. The top TV shows on Netflix. The Night Agent, season one, really good. Enjoyed the heck out of that. And that's number one. 812.1 million hours viewed.

Ginny in Georgia. I've watched a little bit of that because my daughter was watching some of that and she was talking about it. So she ended up, I watched some of that with her. It's the glory. Wednesday, yeah, I watched a lot of that Wednesday. Queen Charlotte of Bridgeton story. Yeah, I'm forced to watch all those.

Bridgetons, I'm just forced to. You, no. La Rina del Sur, no. Outer Banks, again, started it. Ginny and Georgia season one, so season two was number two, and season one was number nine. And Fubar was number 10 for the season 3002.1 million hours viewed. It's interesting, Netflix is releasing all this information now being more transparent. They never did that before.

So what's changed? Couldn't have anything to do with those bastards letting Denzel Washington play Hannibal. Oh, shut that place down. Oh, yeah, and congratulations are in order to Anthony Anderson. Yes, the actor Anthony Anderson will host the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards. They're only like a month away. They finally got somebody to host it. Anthony said, fine.

You know what? I'll do it. No problem. It's going to air January 15th. Yeah, I mean, it's right around the corner. On Fox, live at 8 p.m. Eastern. And from downtown Los Angeles at the Peacock Theater. That's formerly the Microsoft Theater at the LA Live Complex.

And so good for him. Congratulations. We'll see how that goes. Should be fine. Nobody really cares about, I like the Emmys. I do like the Emmys. I don't necessarily like the award show process And how they do it

But I do appreciate the Emmys and you know TV shows And the same with movies But I'm more of a TV guy Anyway congratulations to Anthony Good luck God bless Boating for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close to you, call 18665331-2-600 or visitcomex Ontario.ca. Who died today? Who died today? We'll start with Jeffrey Fosket, F-E-T-T-Long-time member of the Beach.

Beach Boys has passed away at the age of 67. Co-founder Brian Wilson, who was remarkably still alive, posted that Jeff was always there for me when we toured and we couldn't have done it without him. Jeff was one of the most talented guys I ever knew. He was a great musical leader and a guitarist. He could sing like an angel. Jeff, come on down.

That's what I feel like Brian is saying. So he joined the Beach Boys back in the 80s, left in 1990. that's when the band kind of broke up there too and everybody was trying to do their own solo projects. He later rejoined the Beach Boys in 2014 when they said hey Mike's going to be stepping away

and we're going to try to make some extra money. Okay? I don't know that that's the actual phone call message that he got but I'm pretty sure it's pretty close. So anyway, he was he stepped away in 2019, Jeff Foske by the way.

stepped away because he had been diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer. Now, to me, that's something I don't want. I don't want anapastic thyroid cancer. It doesn't sound good. Now, the date of this when he stepped away due to the impacts of this was in 2019. So it had nothing to do with that, okay? I don't even look at me like that As long before that

Unless he was a test subject So rest in peace There's a picture There's a picture of Jeff and Brian At some event And they both look like Dufus I mean they're wearing You know they're wearing fine clothes that are you know

Expensive clothes except Jeff's got flip flops on And Brian is sitting on a stool with a shirt They both have their shirts untugged Because they're fat guys and want to look like they're thin. And Brian is sitting on the stool with the top two buttons of his shirt open, no t-shirt

on. The buttons are strained with his belly pushing out, which I'm aware of how that works. And the shirt is untucked. And he looks like the guy sitting at the bench at a Walmart. And it's Brian Wilson. You never even know it was him, really, to be honest. But he's wearing his Louis Vuitton

shoes. So, if you saw him, you'd go, oh, that guy's a bum. And then you'd look at the shoes and go, no, he's not. You're not finding those at the goodwill. Okay. Anyway, it's such a weird picture.

There's some event. I just don't understand. Okay. I know, whatever. Rest in peace, Jeff, at the age of 67. Now we have, I guess this isn't really, we're done with who died today, but this is almost like who almost is dead.

We talked to other day about the Pope and how I might have to run again because the Pope is on his last legs, well, last wheels, he's in the wheelchair now. And he hasn't been able to do a couple of the Sunday Masses and people are getting worried and he didn't go. People were really, they didn't care that he missed the masses,

but he's not going to go to COP 28. Yeah, I know. It's a nightmare. However, now we find out that the Pope is preparing his tomb. He's already prepared his tomb and he's simplifying his funeral plans. So he knows time is coming quick.

Now, he's not being buried in the Vatican with much fanfare, really, as they get buried between beneath St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. Nope. Of course he's not going to be buried there. He's not going to be in tomb there. He didn't even want to live, right,

in the Pope residence in the Vatican. So he's living in some dump apartment in the Vatican, some little corner lot in the Vatican. So he's going to be laid to rest in the Basilica of Santa Maria Magori in the Esculino neighborhood

in Rome. That's where he goes to pray before and after trips overseas. So it's not unfamiliar with him, which is good. I mean, he's already prepared. prepared his tomb at the basilica. He turns 87 here in a couple of days. So happy birthday to Pope Francis, who turns 87,

and he knows, look, it's just more fodder. I'm going to have to run for Pope. It's going to have to run for Pope again. They've made it more difficult. I told you that. After the first time I ran, the bylaws said I could run. And now they've changed it. And I think it was because of me.

I want to say that it's because of me that they changed the rules. Because they made it so that a guy like me, just a lowly, a lowly person who was not Catholic, couldn't run for Pope. And now you have to be Catholic and you have to be one of the bishops. They changed it all, bastards. How dare you? Thank you.

Thank you. But I can still run again. You can vote for me, okay? I want that white smoke for me. Pope Fatimus. obese is the first, okay? I want that first. Anyway, so then we have another person who

who didn't die today, who almost died today, who's not dead yet. Who's not dead yet? Okay, Big Big Big Theory star Kate Makucci. I think that's how you say her name. If it's not Kate, sorry. I apologize. I, C-U-C-I. Kate McCoochee.

Yeah, that's what I said. Kate? Okay. She has been diagnosed with lung cancer. Very sad. Very sad. I don't wish that on anyone. But she claims that she's never smoked a cigarette in her life.

Okay? So how does she get lung cancer? She shared a TikTok video. She's been in the hospital bed. She said they were. removed the cancerous cells and she's happy that they caught it early. It's really weird

because I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, so it was a surprise. Okay. Why are you looking at me like that? Because I knew it, that's what it causes. It's that. No, it doesn't say that. It just says that she's got lung cancer and that, she's been diagnosed with lung cancer

and they took some cells out and now she's, you know, now she's, She's okay, and it's weird because she never smoked a cigarette. Only cigarettes. Only cigarettes can cause lung cancer. No. My mother, no, no, no. Yeah, well, that's my point.

So my mother, who never smoked a cigarette in her life, had some kind of, I forget what it was, it was some kind of thyroid thing. I don't remember what it was, but it was, they were surprised that she was, diagnosed with it because the doc said usually always comes with smokers and my mom never smoked the day of their life so there why don't you shut up okay it does happen so it can't be that i mean it could be but it can't be and as long as we're you know talking about health

uh i saw a study that talked about how they have now found in this new study that individual organs can age separately than other organs and more quickly than an individual's chronological age. Rate of aging can be measured via certain protein levels in the blood. So you may, let's say, have, just for an example, just out of the top of my head. You may have, I don't know,

lungs that are the lungs of an 100-year-old and get lung cancer, even though you're not 100 years old. And it wouldn't have anything to do with what you're thinking it has to do with. But that's just me. That's just me. I feel like we kind of knew that already

because people, you know, people have bad hearts and bad livers and bad kidneys. And, you know, the kidney's fine. It's your liver. It's your heart. So I kind of feel like this is a study that they said, you know, we ought to look into that because that seems the way it is.

And yep, that's the way it is. So just know. You can have an organ. that is young as ever and yet it's connected to an old organ you can write your own jokes and don't even think

about thinking that they're going to put out a study like this just to cover themselves because of that all right that would never happen these are medical professionals we're talking about there's no way they would just put out a blanket hey you know let's that's a brand new study organs age differently. Each one could be a different age.

It has nothing to do with your chronological age. And that would have nothing. Then we're covered. We're covered. That wouldn't happen. So, just stop looking at me like that, okay? That wouldn't happen.

You can go back to writing your own jokes. 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 yesterday, the owner of the NBA's Wizards and the NHL Capitals

announced a deal to move both teams from downtown Washington, D.C., across state lines to Alexandria, Virginia. Now, they haven't filed any new paperwork, so this is just an announcement. Big win for Virginia, the most populous state without any big big. league sports teams. The two teams could play at the heart of the proposed $2 billion 12-acre entertainment complex as soon as 2028. Now that's coming.

All right. That's not the only owners working to get that done. We'll get to that in a second. One of the things that makes me happy about this story, though, is that moving out of Washington, D.C., and that is a slap in the face to Washington, D.C. and it says here that the DC mayor, Muriel Bowser, who is agonizing, she made a last-minute offer to the owner

to keep him in town. No, Muriel, we're not doing that. We're going, I've already got a deal in Virginia. We're not doing that here. All right, talk to you later. You can keep your crappy DC the way you've got it, you're running it. You want to run it into the ground,

but you still want to, still want all the sports fans to show up for your crappy city. No, sorry. Have a nice day. So remember earlier this month, the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban, wanted to build his Mavs

arena in the middle of a resort casino and said he'd struck a deal. Well, he sold. He sold his rights to the team to Casino mogul, Mirian Adelson, and he's still going to be the day-to-day operator of the Mavericks, but he's not going to

I don't think he's the I think he's still a partner he's not the managing partner of the maps. I think that's how that works. Anyway, but they want that resort casino. All right. Then New York's Mets owner

along with Hard Rock International proposed an $8 billion entertainment complex and casino to be built next to City Field. So it's coming. The complexes are coming. and they're going to keep, just as a side-nose,

as long as we're talking a little bit, a professional sports, the OKC Thunder, the basketball team, is going to stay. They approved a 1% sales tax for the next six years. They're going to build a new downtown area for the Thunder. So it's nice of them. And it's nice on my thought.

No problem. Don't worry about it. That's what happens. You and I pay for it, and it's your stadium. You can't go there when you want. you have to pay to go in there and don't even think about looking at it sideways

when you walk by, but it's your stadium. I love that so much. Not really. Then I see where they just opened, well, we can stick with sports. The NFL announced that they were going to have a game in South Paulo, Brazil, in 2024.

Now, it doesn't, obviously their schedules aren't out, but, you know, we've had games. in Germany, UK, Mexico. So now we're going to have games in Brazil. Probably we continue in Germany and the UK. I think some teams have already been contracted to play in London. It was reported that the Jaguars had already said they were going to play at least one game in London.

So, I mean, for sure you get that game, if nothing else. and Brazil I'm surprised it's not it's not Madrid or Rio de Janeiro okay all right

but they just said no we'll play there did you give us yeah we'll play there and we're going to talk about we've got to add Spain start what we're going to do a European league let's get Spain in there

fine France can have a team too whatever I don't necessarily want France to have one, but okay, fine. Stick it outside of Paris and we'll be fine. Just shut your mouth. I don't want to hear it. But one of the things they better work on, I mean, it's going to be interesting.

I wish I was involved in it. I really do. It would be fascinating to set up the European leagues and how they're going to tie it into the American leagues and how you're going to have playoffs with that. And then we're also talking about travel. Man, travel is going to be a nightmare. And I hope that the NFL is involved in the financing of the new super planes, you know, that are going to be able to speed so that the NFL can just provide, they have their own planes. So that you're flying around the globe, you're flying on NFL planes.

I hope that they're involved in that. I'm sure Roger Goodell, you know, making $60 million or more a year, is on top of it. But, Raj, if you're not, I'm here for you. NFL community. Had enough of Roger Goodell? I'm not starting up an ad campaign. I'm just asking a question. Had enough of Roger Goodell?

I'm here for you. You can email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You can direct message me on X at Jeffrey JFR. You can direct message me on Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. You know what? You could give a message to me on YouTube if you wanted chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. No problem. Okay? Make that happen.

You can reach out to me. I'm here for you. anytime. You can email the show Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com anytime, even if you're not the NFL. I know. I know. That's the way it works.

And Raj, or anyone in the NFL. If you want me to do a cameo for you, at Jeffrey JFR, you can go to cameo, type in at Jeffrey JFR and just tell me what you want. I'll be happy, glad, sad, mean. Tell Roger Goodell to take a hike. I'll take his job, anything. That's not free, but, you know, that's the way it works. You order a cameo.

The person that you order from does what you ask, and then you pay, and everybody takes their cut. I'm trying to get away from calling them my pimp and me being the hooker analogy. But that's the only analogy I can think of. It can't be just an independent contractor working for a company that's providing a service. No, it doesn't work that way.

It's a pimp telling me to do what I'm supposed to do with the client, and then the client pays the pimp and then the pimp gives me some money. That's the way it works. I'm sorry. That's the way it works. So the other day I was reminding you of the rules of chewing the fat. And I was specifically reminded to remind you about the rules because I had one of the producers of the show said his friend was out, has been listening to chewing the fat. And I wanted to thank him and thank you.

tea for listening to chewing the fat. I appreciate it, but I wanted to be sure, knowing that he's a delivery person. And he delivers somewhere in the Dakotas. I don't know, I don't want to get him in trouble. I don't want to get him in trouble for this message that he left me. But so he's delivering packages in the Dakotas.

His real name is Tim. And that's why I call him T. And he left a message, talking about he listened and he heard the rules and he left the message reminding me about those same rules I will gladly oblige

I will make sure that I let me when it held I'll make sure that before instead of giving them their packages I'll be like hey you gotta you gotta follow chewing the fat on Spotify or else you're not getting this box a day ma'am

think about it okay so that's taking a little bit above and beyond and I don't want to I don't want to say that I'm for that I want people to get their packages. I'd be pissed. I am not giving them the package. I'm okay with you saying, hey, listen to Chewing the Fat,

you know, while they're signing for the package or, you know, telling them, wow, this package really reminds me of a podcast I listen to called Chewing the Fat. You should really listen. But the rule of the show is when you're listening, no matter what you're listening to, I know you're going to listen to more stuff than me.

I get it. You know, we all listen to a million things. But when you're out and you have headphones, and somebody says, hey, what are you listening to? You have to say, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. That's the rules of the show. Sorry, can't do anything about it. That's just the rules of the show, okay?

Jeff, you come up with the rules. Now, can't do anything about it. Okay, those are the rules. You can't change them. One last thing before we get out of here, I want to let the British Museum know that I don't have their stuff. Okay, it's not me.

I don't have their stuff, all right? The museum is looking for fifth. 1500 ancient artifacts. Wait, what? Yeah, 2,000 items are, they did a, they did an independent review of the museum. And they wanted to find out, you know, what all the stuff is, where all the stuff is.

That's a good idea. When you have a museum, you kind of want to know that, hey, remember that piece we bought back in 1812? Yeah, that's still here, right? So they had the independent review. 2,000 items are damaged or missing 350 others have had portions removed

now did someone drop it put it away and then you know an arm broke off and they just didn't really remove the arm it broke and we put it away many of the missing objects are unregistered artifacts mostly jewelry and gems those are gone

those are gone and I didn't take them but I will say if I work there and there was jewelry and gems sitting there that weren't registered, they may accidentally slip into my pocket. I'm just saying. So in the museum's Greece and Rome departments, there seems to be some other missing valuables. So the good thing is, though, and this really is a good thing.

The museum holds more than 8 million artifacts. So that means that, you know, 99.9% of the items are intact. So when you hear, you know, 2,000 items are damaged or missing, I mean, a big deal, right? It is a big deal, but not really. They have almost everything.

And so 99.9% of the items are intact and accounted for. I think we can just write off the jewelry and gems. Those are gone. If those were not registered, if they never got logged in. We know they got logged in, and then they just disappeared. Yeah.

Whoever was working the dock that day, that's who has those. Okay, and it wasn't me. For sure, it wasn't me. Because I know for, well, I know I wouldn't do it because I'm an up, straight, honest person.

I would never do that. But let's say that jewelry's and gems accidentally fell into my pocket while I was working. I got home and I went, oh, heck, what are these doing here? I'm going to have to take those back. And then you forget. You forget to take them back.

And pretty soon it's been a year to 10, 20. And you just, oh my gosh, those are mine now. That's the way it works. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
