With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So the furniture seller, IKEA, you know them, you love them. Man, the meatballs, the Swedish meatballs are just awesome.

Well, we talked a while ago about them thinking about expanding here in the U.S. They said they were going to open up stores in the U.S. by 2026. They had a couple of billion-dollar expansion push, and they were going to do like many IKEA's in downtowns. And I guess, you know, they're working well in London and Mumbai. I mean, that Mumbai IKEA is just beautiful. Paris and so now they are opening up

one in downtown San Francisco huh so the same city that has been struggling and I mean stores are shutting down office buildings are empty and so they claim that they're going to occupy

a three-floor store in an abandoned mall okay wow All right, good. Let's hope that works out. It says in this story that signs of life are popping up

in the city of doom and the excrement around, wait, no, the excitement. Oh, I was thinking of San Francisco and it says the excitement and it doesn't say extraming. That's on me. I'm sorry. There was due to their feces thrown all over the walls,

the floor, the ceiling, in a stunt. so bad. Now if that happens, they'll shut it down. Now they shut the one down in Queens and I'm guessing that that may happen in San Francisco. When that does, you're not going to want the Swedish

meatballs after that, I'll tell you that. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So as you know, and if you don't, you do now, this show originates in Texas. All right. DFW is where the show

originates from. And in the state of Texas, they just passed a new law. House Bill 1885, where they now are going to make it okay to have variable speed limits and how when they feel like it.

You know what? We don't think it's getting busy out there. We're going to make the speed limit. Come on now. So apparently it's going to be applied during roadway construction and maintenance. Yeah, they put up signs and they tell you, construction zone, as well as inclement weather.

So if it's raining out, hey, slow down. But now they're going to change the speed limit. This is another revenue enhancer. I guarantee you that more so than ever before. Heavy fog, ice, rain. Really, if you're a conscientious driver, a driver who, you know, actually pays attention, and you went while on the road's driving.

It is a skill. You do that anyway. That's what you do as a driver on the road. As conditions change, you vary your speed limit. Do we need laws? I mean, take on now. We don't need a law. And we already have speed limit laws.

They're already there. It's just, this is just a race. revenue enhancer off the, oh no, the sign said that it's slower and you weren't going that slow. So I guess, according to the new law, they post signs. I guess they're putting in new electronic signs along every interstate. So that's what they're going to be used for, guaranteed, that they will, they're not going to be able to lower it lower than 10 miles under the regular. speed limit. Okay.

So if you're not able to alter or modify the speed limit to reflect the current conditions, I mean, you shouldn't be on the road. You just shouldn't be driving. I'm sorry. You shouldn't be driving if you're not doing that. That's what driving is. I don't understand why we need these. I mean, I barely like speed limits, but okay, you know, fine.

We've all gotten used to those. I barely like seatbelt laws, but we've all gotten used to those. I have to wear a seatbelt, but the guy in the motorcycle doesn't have to wear a helmet. Okay, sure. Whatever warms the innards of you, okay? But now, for them to be able to just pop up, that's 10 miles an hour slower, and we're going to give you a ticket. It said so on the sign.

Sorry, we want to write you a ticket. I just feel like those are revenue enhancers. There are plenty of roads that I drive on in my neck of the woods here in DFW. There's no reason for the speed limit to be as low as it is, except for those local municipalities. There's different municipalities. So you have Dallas, you have Fort Worth, and then you have smaller municipalities that make up the Metroplex.

Now those smaller, those smaller, municipalities all put up speed limits that are slower than really what those roads should be. Why do they do that? I wonder. Oh, I know. So their local police departments can pull people over and write them tickets to enhance revenue. Huh. That should be illegal.

Okay. I'm sorry. If you're going to pass a law, how about we pass a law? Stopping that. All right. That'd be nice. They also passed a new law in the great state of Texas. I do not have an electric vehicle, although, you know, I'm not totally against an electric vehicle, but it's not the only vehicle I would want.

They have a new deal now that, yeah, you know what, you have an electric vehicle, we're going to tax you an extra $200 a year. Now, I've already got, I'm okay. This is where I'm torn, because I have to get an inspection on my car every year from the king so that I'm able to drive my car on the road. And that cost me money. And that also costs me time. And if I go in and I don't pass the inspection, then I have to get my car repaired to pass the inspection to actually pay again to get the license on the registration.

It's just maddening. So I just, I know. And then they just passed a law that I think we talked about it, where they said, you know what, we know we're not going to do that anymore. We're not going to do that anymore. It's silly. People should just pay their registration,

which is more revenue enhancement, criminal crime, taking my money for the king anyway. But we're going to pass the inspection. Oh, hey. Well, okay, so there's going to be a few counties that, you know, the big counties, you know, where most of the people live. Yeah, those counties are still going to have to do it. Okay.

All right. It's time to stop with this. with the taxes from the king. Okay, I mean, we're getting back to what happened the last time we were ruled by a king. What happened? The last time we were ruled by a king. Yeah, no, that right there is because of climate change. That wasn't because of a king.

But I'm trying to remember what the heck it was. Ah, what I do? I'll let you know. Oh, speaking of kings, I see where we got the mugshot from, Trump, our former president of the United States yesterday, I didn't think it was going to happen until today. Those of you that follow me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR

know there was a little bit of a kerfuffle about the mugshot and one fake one was released and then everybody said no, that's fake, that's a different time. And so I said, oh, that's right. Okay, so okay, fine, it was fake. You got me. Fine. And so I believed originally that they weren't going to release it until today

because Fulton County normally it was reported releases them at 4 p.m. every day. So if you got booked after 4 p.m., it wouldn't get released until the next day. And that's Donald Trump was booked after 4 p.m. So I figured not, nope, nope, we're going to break all protocols for Donald Trump. We've got to get that mug shot out and out now. And maybe that was, you know, maybe he insisted on that too. I don't know.

I mean, it definitely is a campaign photo for him. him. Side note, we talked yesterday about take the under on his weight. They were taking bets on what he was going to weigh at the booking process. The paperwork claims he weighed 215 pounds. The over and under bet was 273.5 pounds. Okay. Now I said bet the under because I don't believe he weighs 275, although he might. But I was thinking in my head that he weighed about, I don't know, 260. In my head, he looked. like about 260 but I don't know I'm just guessing because I I uh it might it may be more uh I just know man the last time when I was in like fourth grade and I weighed 250 I looked about like that okay so I'm I'm thinking as two 450 260 but the the booking paperwork said 215 now okay we all lie about our weight people say well what do you weigh in it what do you weigh in these days and every time I go to the doctor I tell her 800 pounds.

What are you weighing in at? 800 pounds. And the nurse almost every time stops typing into her iPad or writing on her notes and looking up to be like what?

And I was like, yeah. Well, no, you know what? Today I hit 799. I wasn't quite 800 pounds. And that's pretty much what the nurse does. And then, no really how much. We need 215. That's going to be my next answer from now on.

I just, yeah, just $2.15. That's what I weigh. Same as Donald Trump. There's no way he weighs $2.15. Sorry about it. No. Don, I'm okay with anybody lying about their weight. I got you.

It's okay. I'm not mad at you. I mean, that's a lie that's a little white lie that everybody tells. But there's just no way that you weigh 250 pounds. Okay. Sorry. Not happening. And I'd like to see the scale.

If you want us to believe it, step on the digital scale and let's see it. Because I feel like the digital scale is going to stop at about 265.8. That would be my bet. But that's still the under. I still won the under no matter what. So stupid. And everybody is selling the Donald Trump mugshot gear, t-shirts, hats, because that's open season.

I mean, that's from the courts. That's free. You can use it to your heart's content. So have fun with it. All right, let's go to the break room. And, you know, be sure to bow down to the Don. Let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink desperately.

So it's being reported that the Writers Guild of America rejected a proposal, released by Hollywood Studios, saying the offer failed to sufficiently protect writers. I mean, that's what they're going to say to every offer that they reject. right you know what we're not doing that that fails to sufficiently protect writers and so that's what we're here for so you know good luck

those strike is I don't know where we're at 117, 118 119 hot hot I don't know what the number is but we're close to that will they ever find an offer to accept only they know

only they know I see where, I thought we were done with this, but they just keep ramming it down our throats. CNN has just announced that they are going to launch a 24-7 CNN stream with HBO Max. So they're pulling the plug on, you know, they pulled the plug on CNN Plus because, I don't know, It sucked, and nobody wanted to watch CNN Plus.

We barely want to watch CNN on cable or streaming platform, Hulu or YouTube, barely. But we're trying to move now. So Warner Brothers Discovery's max service is making a push into 24-7 CNN stream that's scheduled to debut on September 27th, So they're giving themselves a month to prepare, which that makes it even better because, huh, that's going to be so good. It's going to be called CNN Max. Now, if they, all right.

No, there's, it's going to be, it's going to be huge, huge. Let's go. How many viewers do we have on CNN Max? Hello? Hello? Okay. So, okay, the part of an open beta for news that will enable experimentation with product features, content offerings, and original storytelling, all with the input and feedback from the Max community. Yeah, I'll be interested to see if the comments are shut off after a day. The feedback may not be what you think it is. so it's going to be all across Max's subscription tiers

but it's not going to be the same as CNN's linear cable network oh darn because that's great you'll see familiar faces you'll have Anderson Cooper 360 who doesn't love Anderson and you'll have the lead with no no no we love we love Anderson you'll have the lead with Jake Tapper I mean, come on now.

You'll have Christina Amampore. You'll have the Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer. I mean, holy cow. They are throwing out the red carpet. And they're going to have new programming. So they're going to have new programming built specifically for Max streaming audience. Like everything, like such as CNN Newsroom. with Jim Acosta,

Rachel Solomon, Amaro Walker, Frederico Whitfield, and the CNN Newsroom, Jim Zicuto. Man, does that, does that sound good? All right, all right.

Now, they describe it as 24-7 streaming service will bring the immediacy and value of global breaking news with top analysis, context, and reporting across all the biggest stories in the world to the max streaming audience and enhance the product with the convenience of viewing news at any time, anywhere, and on any screen. Sorry, I mean, just good luck. Good luck. it does not sound like I care about CNN Max

speaking to being canceled and you know being not good I see where Amazon has canceled a league of their own now I really I really enjoyed the movie that's one of my favorite movies of all time I think definitely in the running for the top 10 love it and so I went and watched some of the A League of Their Own on Amazon

I did not make it through. I don't know how far I got but it wasn't very far because I don't know. It sucked. And it was all about, I felt it was all about being lesbian and not about

women's baseball and the struggles that they had. That was the whole point behind a league of their own. It wasn't about it wasn't about their sex lives. She was married and wanted to be with her husband Jeff, I know that was an underlying plot, but the show itself was about the struggles that this,

well, this one woman had, and she didn't want to be there, but she didn't want to be there. Anyway, but the co-creator of a league of their own now believes that all, because this show was canceled, all queer people are personally and politically under attack across the country. I feel like, I feel like, no. I feel like that is not correct. So he believes that the political persecution of gays arguing that the cancellation after just one season is the latest indignity to befall queer people in this country. Huh. Okay.

Okay. Will? I don't think that's true, but maybe you could make a better show. How about that? Remember, he said in this story that he was asked when making this show, hey, can you make the show less gay? Okay, that's the bosses, the powers that be, you know, Amazon, the people that are paying for the show. Hey, I don't know, what do you think?

Can we make the show less gay? and you know we want to attract more viewers we don't want people to go okay all this is about is about the gayness of the baseball players in a league of their own which is what was thought by the way at least by me and that we'd like to attract more viewers which is a piece of advice he claims i proudly ignored that but now that the show has been canceled because it was I don't know, focusing on the wrong things, it's because it's a persecution of gays and cancellation. All right.

All right. Whatever you say, even if it isn't true. Yesterday, we talked about Tom Cruise and paying $400,000 a month in child support to Siri, Surrey, Katie's kid. And that kid is going to be turning 18 soon. So Katie, I hope saved a little. I mean, Katie's got her own money, but she don't have that, I don't think.

You know, 400 grand a month, that'd be tough to take. And if Tom would like to have a child with me, I'm here for him. I think I don't know if I made that clear enough yesterday. I want to be sure that that's clear enough today. If Tom needs to have more children, I'm here for you, Tom. Anyway, then I read where Hallie Berry has finally finally finalized her divorce.

I mean, they've been apart for eight years. It took eight years to get the details of this custody case. Unbelievable. I mean, the kid is nine now. So the deal is done. Hallie, who is 57 now and still, I mean, it's embarrassing the way she looks at me. That's all I want to say, Hallie.

Stop it, okay? You and Blake lively, talk it over amongst yourselves and then get back to me, okay? Now, Hallie, it's been decided that Hallie has to pay $8,000 a month in child support. Eight grand a month, Halley's paying in child support, and that's not it. But wait, there's more, okay? So the son Macio, M-A-C-E-O, I guess that's how they pronounce it, is their share custody. They have joint custody.

All right. So she pays $8,000 a month. They have joint custody. Pays hubby $8,000 a month. Ex-Hubby, $8,000 a month. Not only that, she will be providing another 4.3% of any income she receives

above $2 million. So anything she makes over $2 million for the year, 4.3% goes to $2.3% goes to child support for the kid. No kidding. Plus, but wait, there's more. That's not all.

She has to cover the tuition of the kid's school, which is a private school, of course. I mean, he's not going to get frozen pizzas from the mayor in Chicago. Okay? No, not happening. She has to provide all the supplies, uniforms, any of the extracurricular activity,

for the year. So, boy, we're happy about that deal. Now, I will say this too. Now, it's not 400 grand a month, but Halley, if you're looking to have more children, I'm here for you. Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

who wrestled as the WWE Bray Wyatt, has died. He was 36. years old. And I love the announcement because it comes from WWE's chief content officer Paul Lefiske, known as Triple H, confirmed Rotundas sudden

passing Thursday on X, the app formerly known as Twitter. I mean it's just you got all these side days. It was just amazing. So they have released the cause of death because I know what you're thinking. I know you didn't say that, but you're going 36 years out, of course. No. No, it doesn't

say that. Okay. So why don't you just stop thinking it? All right? What it does say in the story, that court, and this is, this is according from Triple H, so you got to believe him.

Okay. I don't know. Don't you don't mess with Triple H. All right. Um, he got COVID, and that exasperated heart issues. So it had nothing to do with that.

Okay? All right? So shut up. Ah. Oh, man. So he suffered a heart attack and passed away. And it was because he got COVID. Didn't have anything to do with what you're thinking about.

I'll tell you that. So there. Ray Wyatt, dead at 36 years of age. Who else do we have? Who died today? A 37-year-old woman, Margaret Sweeney, is... Well, oh, nope, nope, she's not dead. Never mind.

She's not part of that. She just reported her own death. The Franklin Police Department in North Carolina, which is, I mean, Franklin is beautiful this time of year. They arrested the 37-year-old woman. She stands accused of orchestrating her own murder hoax by sending anonymous reports to both law enforcement and, of course. acquaintances. So people just knew her as Maggie. Okay, it's not Margaret Sweener. That's not Margaret Sweeney. Margaret, I can't even say her name. I'm so torn up that I'm so happy that she's not dead. Margaret Sweeney, friends just, no wonder they just called her Maggie. Nobody can say her stupid name.

Anyway, she was taken into custody. I love, I love the charges, so you cannot orchestrate your own murder hoax. and you can't send anonymous reports to both law enforcement and acquaintances. Isn't that the same thing as orchestrating your own murder hoax? I guess not. I guess not. Those are separate charges, so I'll just stop talking. So you made false reports.

You fabricated death or severe injury through, okay, oh my gosh. Okay, so false reports to a police station, fabricating death or severe injury through telephonsequized. means and obstructing law enforcement officers. Well, that's right, because hey, that's a substantial

amount of time and effort that the Franklin Police Department they diverted sources to try to find Maggie. Did they? Did they? Okay. I mean, if you say so, I got it. It's a busy police department. I got it. So, the

incident began when she was reported missing on Friday, and I guess she was reported missing by her and I never says why she reported herself dead why the hoax I don't know the answer to that question it never says why the hoax that would be an important part of a story if one were writing the story this particular AI person doesn't believe that's part of the story so they initially sought assistance in locating the woman and then the next day they thought, no, hey, don't worry about it. She's in a nearby town safe and sound.

Thanks for all your help. And that's the end of the story. So we don't know why she fabricated the murder hoax, but she did. So, whoo, okay, Maggie, I should say, Margaret Maggie Sweeney, not dead, but jailed at the age of 37. We also told you a person has already made it to the Who Die Today segment. Joan Meyer, M-A-E-Y-E-R, had passed away at the age of 98. She had a heart attack. Now, she had a heart attack a day after police raided her newspaper and her home. Okay.

They raided a news outlet headquarters, and then they did a search of her home for computers, cell phones and servers. Okay. Hello. It's a newspaper. It's for the record. Now, she was apparently going after a local

politician. Huh. That's really weird. And the politician was unhappy. They received information illegally. Did they? Did they? And so a judge, okay,

this judge Laura Vier, VIR, V-I-A-R, signed this search warrant authorizing the cops to seize everything. And of course, I mean, you have to do what you have to do as a police officer, right? Am I right? Who's with me? Yeah. Yeah, that's what I thought. So she, and hopefully they have went a wrongful death suit on this. There's video. She had a video camera in her home. I don't know who put it there. I don't know where it came from. I don't know if it's a ring camera. I don't know if, you know, the kids have it up to make sure that she's safe because She's a 98-year-old woman, and I don't know how much work she was doing every day at the newspaper, but it was still her newspaper.

She was the co-owner, I think, of the newspaper. And so they released this footage of the search. The search was ongoing in her home. Obviously, this is before she died. Fire, right? Yes. Come on Eric. Now, the police are going through her house.

right now. She is pissed. And she's walking with a walker. She's 98 years old in her home. Somebody calls the house, which is just annoying. And she lets it go to voicemail. She wants the cops out of here. She wants them gone.

Pick up the phone. Answer the phone. But no, she doesn't. It just continues to run. She doesn't like the police chief that's there. Oh, God. Get out of my house. Oh, yeah, you're the chief.

Get out of my house. You can stand outside that door. Oh, yeah, pause it for a second. Okay. So she's pissed and she know, oh, God, you're the chief. I want you out of my house. Yeah, I don't want you in my house. And he's making the case that we have a search warrant.

We can be in here. These officers are able to go through all your stuff. And they're taking all they can. That's all. And she has a proud newspaper woman. Get out. Okay, you know, I don't want you in my home. And please, dear Lord, I can't, I can't stress enough.

I know that the phone is on loud because she's 98, but it rings and rings and rings and finally. Then I have to go through the voicemail answering thing. I thought for sure. I thought for sure we were going to hear the message, but we don't. At least I don't think we do. The first time I listened to this, we got the phone call.

I wouldn't stop ringing. And then we got the voicemail, the answering machine. And I thought for sure, once the answering machine went, boop, you were going to get, uh yeah bomb i'm just letting you know i'm over stopping by kmc i'm for sure we were going to get that but no we did go ahead what i don't want you if you did not take what what are they doing over there why

what are they doing over there why are they messing with my stuff is there another one down there's another computer thank you we never went there what are they doing that's my personal stuff over there she's pissed I don't blame her Yeah that's my personal stuff I'm not gonna tell you thank you I want to see what they're doing

Well they're working I don't care what I don't care what they're doing I don't care what they're doing get them away from there Those are personal papers Yeah They're their electronic devices Yeah they're personal papers douche That's right you people

Oh my gosh is maddening. So then we have, you know, then the next day, she dies. Okay. She was pushed, the family believes, beyond her stress limits. It's tough to argue that with a police

raid in your house. That shouldn't have happened anyway. All right. Well, then, about a week later, you know what? Yeah, I'm just going to, the prosecutor, I'm just going to withdraw the search warrant and they, the newspaper and they can have all their stuff back.

Okay, yeah, we're just not, we don't care about that anymore. Wait, what? I mean, unbelievable. So, uh, Joan, rest in peace, okay? Just rest in peace. You will get your vindication. I know, but I'd rather be alive, Joe. I know.

We wish you were too, but. Sorry. Also, I mean, this is a whole who died today's segment. we have Ron Seifas Jones, Emmy Award winning actor. You know him from This Is Us. If you look, if you see his picture, you'll go, oh yeah, him. He passed away at the age of 66. Very sad.

According to this, he died of a long-standing pulmonary issue. Well, that's interesting. That's interesting, isn't it? because I don't know how longstanding was the pulmonary issue? Couple years? Three years, say, for example, something like that? Or was it longer and it wasn't as bad, but something else made it worse? I mean, that's what you're thinking.

I'm telling you not to think that because it doesn't say that. But you, you are sitting there right now looking at me saying, I do it. I'm telling you. It doesn't say that. Ron Seifus Jones, rest in peace, dead. From a long-standing pulmonary issue at 66. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything.
