Okay, when I sell my business, I want the best tax and investment advice. I want to help my kids, and I want to give back to the community. Ooh, then it's the vacation of a lifetime. I wonder if my head of office has a forever setting. An IG Private Wealth advisor creates the clarity you need with plans that harmonize your business, your family, and your dreams.

It's happened again. Carmen Jimenez, or Jimenez, J-I-M-E-N-E-Z, Carmen Jimenez, a 57-year-old woman from Madrid, allegedly spent 28 years pretending to be blind. After telling family and friends, yeah, I lost my sight, I had an eye injury, and now I can't see. Ha! So for nearly three decades, all the people around her believed she couldn't see and treated her as if she were truly blind.

She later admitted, yeah, I was never really blind. I used the disguise of blindness to avoid social interactions like greetings and small talk. I was never very social and I wanted to skip daily conversations. They were just uncomfortable. Now, that also meant that she was receiving disability checks from, Spain, which now she will face legal consequences. Yeah, that's the same thing that happened to the guy, remember from Italy, that faked being blind for like 50 years. And he had been collecting disability checks because of his blindness. And yeah, I just wasn't blind. I just didn't want to work.

And it was, look, I told people I was blind due to a work-related incident. And now I've collected all this money. And yeah, I just, sure that video recorded me. doing things that I wouldn't be able to do if I were blind. Well, that's because I'm not blind. Ha! So all these people, and I say, oh, we know of two, I'm sure there's probably a whole lot more that are faking their disability

just to get disability checks, and then now you've got to keep pretending, don't tell anyone, because once you tell someone, it's over. You've got to keep up the ruse the whole time, especially if you're getting government checks. You don't want that to end. And then not only is it going to end, you're going to face legal consequences, even jail time for the fraud.

So if you're doing a fraud, don't ever say that it's fraud. Deny, deny, deny, deny. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Fat 5 Plus. Where this show originates from, DFW, I see all kinds of luxury cars on the road. And I know that some are just, you know, the basic models of the Rolls-Royce, the basic model of the Bentley's, but they are still pretty darn nice-looking cars.

Well, now, Rolls-Royce apparently has a new project called Nightingale. and it's the first from Rolls-Royce Coach Build Collection. It's a new invite-only program that's making tiny batches of highly bespoke vehicles developed over months with clients' close collaboration. For the 100 Nightingale's total, accepted buyers have been following us development in secret since 2024. To sweeten the deal for their patience and discretion, they'll get to join Rolls-Royce engineers for cold and hot weather test drives of the car later this year. So they've been spending money on an automobile sight unseen. So these are the super luxury vehicles. And that's what's happening now. So we have,

we have the, we want people driving cheap cars and we want the super luxury vehicles. Oh yeah. I saw a car the other day I had never seen before. It's a VINFAST car. VINFAST car. VIN FAC. I had never seen that car before. You know, I do, on my Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, I do a license plate of the day, and I post license place that I see. And I have several people, like Brad Staggs and my wife, and, you know, Beth, Not,

who is the executive producer of The Daily Mojo. I think she's a co-owner of the Daily Mojo, actually. And a big boss lady. She sends me a, you know, license place that she sees. Well, Brad sent me one the other day, 24-carat gold. And I love that. It was 24-carat gold. I'm going to post that, of course.

But the car, I'm like, what kind of car is that? It's a VINFAST. Now, they're marketed and now based in Vietnam. But the VIN group, the company that owns VINFAST, was originally set up in Ukraine in 1993. But it is a Vietnam original company, VINFAST. But apparently now they are. getting set up all over the United States of America.

So I'm getting ready, I guess, to see a lot of VINFAST vehicles on the road. When you look at their, I go to a website, which is VINFAST Auto U.S., VINFastAto. Dot U.S. And you can explore the VINFAST family. Okay. Starting at the little one is 39,000, and 62,000. some of them are not available yet, the VF7 and VF8, but they are, they're electric vehicles,

and their elegant simplicity setting a new standard for the electric car company. So, okay, all right, good. I guess, you know, we're going to get more and more electric vehicles on the road, especially now. We talked about this the other day on Pat Grand Leach. Oh, I don't know if we talked about it on the air, But we talked about how the driver, the Tesla, drive-it-yourself vehicles, you drive it yourself, the autonomous, you don't have to drive. You just put it in auto mode and it drives you.

And how safe it is, okay, it's been really safe. Well, we were thinking, well, you know, how are you going to get people to do that? Because it's going to be difficult for people to want to be able to not drive their vehicle. Not for me. I want to be able to get in and go home and have it take me there. But where I live, they won't allow me to do that. I have to be alert. It will drive itself, but I have to be alert.

I don't want to be alert. If I want to sleep, I want to sleep. If I want to read something, I want to read something. But they won't let me do that in the county that I live in, or at least the city. I'm not quite sure the whole area. There's some areas that do, some areas that don't. But the insurance premiums are going to have.

have to drop to make people do that. And that's what they're going to do. They've already started saying that if you're in driverless mode and you have all these safety features, that will drop your insurance costs. And that's how they're going to get people to do it. So you better, humans, bad, computers, good. That's what's happening. So I don't know if VinFast has the option.

Let's find out, shall we? Does not look like they are. No. They have not announced dedicated driverless vehicle program. Huh, interesting. But they have, they're trying to at least get product fit issues taken care of.

Yeah. So it's brand recognition and they need to upgrade their software, that kind of thing. Because they are growing here in the United States. So they don't have any confirmed driverless car programs. The current vehicles offer ADS, not level 4. or fifth autonomy.

So you can get advanced driver assistance systems, but some of the smart technology might not be there with it. So we'll see if that actually happens with VINFAST. But with Tesla and some of the other manufacturers, that's definitely coming. And they want you to be able to have the fully autonomous driverless program. And that will drop your insurance rates, which will make you want to buy the electric vehicle

so that you can have lower insurance. insurance rates. Uh-huh. We'll see how that goes, but it's coming, and it is coming fast. And the more videos that we see of the Tesla's driving so well driverless on highways, saving people, it'll be, it'll come faster than ever. We see, I see videos all the time now of Tesla swerving out of the way, driving through accident scenes, swerving away not to hit humans in their driverless mode that it's going to, people are going to want to do that all the time. No question. It's going to be the humans fault, not the autonomous car's fault, which we're already seeing in some of the driverless cars in California. Oh, they're all over the country,

actually, but the one's time that, the one big accident that they had where the car ran over the person, come to find out it wasn't the car's fault, right? We know that they ran over the person because the person got hit by another car and was flown in front of the autonomous taxi. The taxi ran over it, stopped and pulled over because it didn't know what to do. Well, it knew what to do. It needed to stop and pull over. So it wasn't really its fault of running it over. The body flew in front of the car too soon for the car to actually stop and not run over it. Just so it's, the safety is, uh, is going to be first and foremost. And it's going to be, uh, the humans are bad.

And the robots are good. Huh. I wonder what will happen then. I'm sure it'll all be good. Be sure to follow me on my social media at Jeffrey JFR on X. Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and Instagram, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher on YouTube. You can email the show anytime chewing the fat at the blaze. Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com.

You can also see me every day Monday through Friday on Pat Gray Unleashed. That is a program that I am a part of every day,

I do a Saturday morning show with Brad Staggs at Real Brad Staggs Saturday morning live on 9 a.m. Central time on my ex account at Jeffrey JFR. Now, Brad puts it up on his ex account, and I think he puts it up on Rumble and a couple other places. But really, most importantly, you need to just join us on my ex account at Jeffey JFR at 9 a.m. Central on Saturday. And then you'll be a see why we call it. it Saturday morning live.

Duh. Now, Brad right now is saying to himself as he's listening to this and I can hear him. I could hear him in my headphones. You can hear him through the line. Listen for just a second. There he is. Why didn't you mention my ex-account?

Why didn't you mention my show that I do every day? Can you hear that through the line? Listen. Why didn't you mention my F-account? Why didn't you listen to my show? Yeah, you can barely make it out through the line. So I'll go ahead. Look, you can see and listen to Brad every day on the Daily Mojo.

You can just go to the DailyMojo.com. You can also follow him on his ex-account, Real Brad Stags. But most importantly, just go to at Jeffey JFR and then watch the, you follow me there, and watch the Saturday morning live there instead of at Real Brad Stags and the Dailymojo.com thing. whatever that is. Wow, I have said all along how jealous Jeff Bezos

is of Elon Musk and he is so jealous that Elon gets all the love. Well, I see today, I just need to read the headline. I don't even care what the story says but the headline is Amazon is buying

satellite company Global Star for 11.6 billion in a bid to expand and its Leo satellite internet provider to compete with SpaceX Starlink. Yeah. He's that, I mean, the whole Leo satellite system was built so that he could compete with Elon and Starlink. And now he can't make him fast enough.

He can't make him fast enough. He can't get him up into space fast enough because he'd have to rent a space from Elon on SpaceX because Elon is launching, I don't know, a thousand at a time. every other day from SpaceX. That's not really how many he's launching, but he's launching a lot. I mean, he's got thousands already orbiting the globe in low Earth orbit,

and he's launching more almost daily. And now Jeff Bezos can't keep up. So he's going to buy a company to help him keep up with Elon. It's really kind of, it's kind of embarrassing, Jeff. Just stop it, okay? You're a billionaire. You develop this great company.

and you don't have to be jealous of anyone. I know you are, but you don't have to be. Those of you listening live, today is the 15th of April, 2026. Yeah, I know, it's that day. But it's also the day after jury selection was to begin for Harvey Weinstein. Yes, I know. Wait, there's jury selection? Yep, for his third rape trial in New York, in Manhattan.

So he showed up where they had set this date in a wheelchair accused of third-degree rape of actress Jessica Mann in New York City Hotel Room in 2013. Wow. So, I mean, he still claims he never assaulted anyone. His spirit was breaking. He's been behind bars for six years, but he would say that's not long enough.

The last trial, It resulted in a split verdict decision, and jurors unanimously found him guilty of sexually assaulting one woman and not guilty of assaulting another more than a decade ago. They were unable to reach a verdict on allegations that he assaulted a third woman. The jury reportedly had tense deliberations with the four persons saying there was fighting between jurors. Oh, yeah, one juror allegedly threatened another. That's right. There was a big to do over that. So we had to break away from that, and now we're going to do it all over again.

That's great. We got Harvey Weinstein trial to look forward to again. I can't wait for this trial to begin. And then I see where Katie Perry has been accused of another sexual assault. I mean, she's been accused multiple times of doing a few things. Nothing's ever come of it. But according to model, actually. actress Ruby Rose, she accused Katie Perry of sexually assaulting her 20 years ago.

Oh, okay. So we are to believe you? Well, yes. She was assaulted. I'm sorry, Katie Perry assaulted her at an Australian nightclub when she was in her 20s. Okay, sure, no problem. She said that we went to a spice market nightclub, and she said that, it said that, holy cow. She was hesitant to report her experiences as she has been too wounded and afraid to take the appropriate steps because I know the system seldom works.

Oh, the system seldom works, but you were, you could have been. maybe taken care of it like, I don't know, 20 years ago. Oh, but first you wanted Katie to help you be able to work in the United States, right? And I know how traumatic this whole thing is for you. Now, she claims that Perry rubbed her disgusting woman part, yes, that part, on her face, causing her to vomit. Really? You were passed out at a party

and Katie rubbed her girl part on you and that's what made you vomit. Okay. And this happened 20 years ago, but you're just now able to tell us. All right. Sure. No problem.

I'm sure we all believe you. Yes, you've had other problems. on other sets as well, haven't you? Oh, yes, you have. Yeah, you've claimed there was hostile work environment and other sets and why you got fired from other sets. I mean, C.W. has said, no, that's not the case. Her allegations are revisionist history, and her fire room is based on multiple, was claiming her firearm was based on multiple complaints. about workplace behavior. No, it wasn't because of that. The firing was because we were tired of your character and you were awful. But anyway, that's not what he said. That was what I said.

Anyway, I hope it all works out for you, Ruby. And then I see where Sharon Moore, the former head coach of the University of Michigan, who got lost his job, beat over a girlfriend that was a staffer. Wow, that was a nightmare. Well, he now has avoided jail and was sentenced to 18, months probation. Wow. As part of the deal, a more pleaded no contest, a misdemeanor malicious use of telecommunications device involving a domestic relationship and misdemeanor trespassing. 18 months probation, subject to random alcohol and drug testing, cannot have a weapon while also continuing his mental health treatment. And he was hugged by his wife after this. Wow. Okay. Uh, no problem.

him. She's happy to be with him. He said he's centered himself back around the family and, you know, he's working his way through it. But all this time when he was making all that money as head coach and on the road, he was, you know, diddling with the staffer while the wife was home with the kids and she's okay with it. Okay, well then I guess I'm okay with it too. Oh, and I see where the Michigan man in the Bahamas has been released by the police, but he's staying there to help look for his wife, for his missing wife, because he claimed that his wife had fallen off their little dingy

and went into the ocean during turbulent seas, and he can't find her. So that's what happened. Now, they have a criminal investigation into the disappearance, but he said, hey, it was an accident. She was my soulmate, and she fell off the little dingy, and I've been looking for her, and I can't find her. You've got to help me.

And so they've been looking all over for her, and no one can find her. So, okay, we'll see what happens or what comes to that, if she ever does turn up. But he said that the wife had the boat's keys and the engine shut off, and then he had to paddle ashore, and one thing led to another, and she got carried away in the current. Okay. I believe you, Brian.

I believe you. I just think the authorities have questions for you. And they have questioned you. And they've set you free now. So you have more time to look for your missing wife, because I'm sure you don't know where she is and what happened to her. There's just no way that that could be the case. Right?

Right. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Sid Croft. Sid Croft. Yes, he's the man with his brother Marty that created and produced the memorable shows, Land of the Lost, and HR Puffin stuff. Who's your friend with Stings get rough?

HR Puffin Stuff. Yes, A-Tar Puffin Stuff, the classic. Sid Crop, dead at the age of 96. Now, I remember his brother dying a couple years ago at the age of 86, Marty. And I guess Sid couldn't take it anymore. It took him a couple more years. But rest in peace to the creator,

co-creator of HR Puffin' Stuff Who can forget H.R. Puffin' Stuff. And Freddie the flute. And oh my gosh. I mean, that theme song is just never ending in your head forever. It will be there forever.

Sidcroft, rest in peace, dead at the age of 96. Then we have Mandisa Lynn Hundley. Mandisa Lynn Hundley dead at the age of of 47. She was a Christian music artist.

You know her for American Idol. Of course you do. She reportedly died Thursday at her home in Nashville, Tennessee. The cause of her death? Not yet known. Ooh.

Mandisa's official Facebook page confirmed the death. She was a voice of encouragement and truth to people facing life's challenges all around the world. And then they posted the song from her, You Wouldn't Cry, which has the lyrics,

I'm already home. You've got to lay it down because Jesus holds me now and I'm not alone. Okay. That's not good. In her book, Out of the Dark,

my journey through the shadows to find God's joy, Mandisa chronicled her challenges with depression, but always trusted God for healing. Oh, boy. So that is not good. That means that she probably committed suicide. Very sad. We don't know that, though, because the cause of death was not yet known. So rest in peace to Mandisa Lynn Humbley, dead at the age of 47. If you or someone you love is facing some sort of depression and thinking about committing suicide, just dialed 988. That is the life hotline. Guess they like to call it the lifeline, not the hotline.

Just dial 988. 24-7, 365. It connects you with people who will help you through it all. Because if you feel like at any time that this planet would be better without you on it, you're wrong. The planet is not better without you on it. So get help if you need it. And it's right there for you. Just dial 988.

And it looks like Columbia has finally given in. Columbia has announced that they're going to kill the cocaine hippos. I know. Very sad. So Pablo Escobar imported the animals in the 80s, apparently illegally. Yeah, right. That's well, it wasn't all he was importing and exporting to live in his zoo at his home. Well, since his death, they escaped because they had the opportunity to kill.

them and the people who went to take the animals didn't kill them. So they often set them free. Then they've been roaming the country, terrorizing villagers, disrupting the native ecosystem. Hippos are not really nice animals and they're big and mean. So apparently other control, they've tried to neuter them. They've tried to relocate them to zoos. None of that has worked and they've got too many of them. So now they're going to go ahead and kill them.

all the offspring of the hippos. Now, apparently they're just going to kill them. I don't know if they're going to hunt her. I don't know if they're going to hunt them. I don't know if they're going to hand out special passes for people to go hunt the hippos. There's about 80 hippos that they're going to drop down. And so that is going to be fun.

I hope we go ahead and video that. I want to see the hunting of the hippos in Colombia. That should be live streamed. In fact, Columbia should just do their own television show and Netflix should produce it or Hulu or someone should produce it. Let's see the live stream of the hunting hippos. Cocaine hippos going down tonight at 8. That'd be awesome.

So, I mean, they're going to bring them down now. I'm sure that the animal experts, the animal lovers are going to be very sad about this, and they're going to say, well, there's got to be a better way. They've tried a lot of, not every way. They've tried many ways to end this hippo population issue, and it hasn't helped at all. And they produce significant waste. Uh, yeah.

And then they poison the rivers, and they attack people, they're mean. They end up killing fish. They threaten other species, so they've got to put them down. Let's hunt them. I love the idea of Colombia, cocaine, hippocene, hippocene. The Hunt for Cocaine Hippos. Yeah, there you go. There's your show.

There's your show. Tonight at 8, the hunt for cocaine hippos. Tonight's episode, yeah, absolutely. Canon, yes. Tonight's episode, Cocaine Hippos. Hunting cocaine hippos. Yeah, that has to happen. All right, let's get out of here.

I'll leave you with a couple of jokes of the day. From my dad jokes calendar, king of the dad jokes calendar, 2026. We are in April. I said if you're listening live, today is the 15th of April, 2026. Oh, it goes with hunting cocaine hippos. As a matter of fact, today's joke. So we'll, since we missed a couple days this week, we'll start with, I only seem to get sick on weekdays.

I must have a weakened immune. system. Get it? Yeah. Yeah, you got it. And then the joke from today would be what? It goes with hunting cocaine hippos. What's the loudest pet you can get?

I don't know. What's the loudest pet I can get? A trumpet. Ha ha ha ha. See? No, you got it. You know,
