Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So if you've been charged with the creation or operation of a clandestine laboratory for the unlawful manufacture of a controlled dangerous substance, you know, I don't know, like cooking meth, and this happened in Louisiana, what do you do?

well, if you're Brendan Doyle you run the state of Michigan and go to Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan is right here in the center of the state is a hell of my hand where it is and you become a professor

and you start teaching classes at the Michigan State University that is awesome he cut his hair trimmed up the beard put on a pair of glasses and he's now teaching uh...

kinesiology and the anatomy of physiology. That's what he's doing at Michigan State. Well, that's what he was doing because, uh, his students were like, why is he so erratic and impatient? He yelled at us as if we were a high school class.

I thought it was just unnecessary. And, uh, I really didn't want to make a big deal about it, but he just kept lecturing us, and then he kept calling in sick and told us we didn't have to come in. And we just wondered what was going on. So then we kind of did our own little search,

and we realized, hey, that guy's wanted in Louisiana. So, I mean, that's a good gig. And that's a smart move on his part. So you're wanted for, you know, cooking meth in Louisiana. You go up to another state. Of course, he chooses Michigan State University. Nothing going on at that university these days.

Oh, yeah, they had the sex doctor, and they've just booted out the football coach for taking care of some business on the side, which, by the way, I don't think he's guilty of. But that's another story in itself. But they just fired him for it. And so they got this guy. the meth cooker from Louisiana

the professor in classes I mean makes one want to go to Michigan State welcome welcome to chewing the fat okay so I guess we're safe now if you're in Indianapolis you're fine the monkey has been found Momo has been captured

but he was out of the loose running around Indianapolis for hours and in fact one lady's said she had to use a stool to keep Momo back as she got crawled back into her house there were some reports of people being harmed

by Momo the rogue monkey although they don't know if it was bites or not so it might have just jumped on them and scraped them or something crazed Momo the monkey running around there was a video of Momo running through a neighborhood

fast I mean momos can run like momos can run like momos can run like 30 miles an hour. I was a freaking fast little monkey, man. So if that happens in Texas, I mean, he starts shooting up neighborhoods,

but it's possible. You got to put Momo down. So they found him. They finally found him. The owner said, you, he jumped out. I lost him. Oh, he jumped over the fence.

And Momo was gone. I mean, if that's here in DFW, work him over a momo hunt. I mean, MoMA is lucky to be alive. And there's no doubt about that. So they finally got him in a house that was under construction, and he's safe now. So I don't know if the owner is going to get in trouble,

probably another hand slap or something. But the officers, including, they took a large net and were on the scene. A large net! Yeah, how about that? I don't know. I don't recommend, you know. people shooting up the neighborhood as momo is running 30 miles an hour across the front yard you're driving down the road going after momo i miss him i miss him i miss him no people were harmed they were hunting mom i mean that's a that's a

youtube video hunting momo uh for sure but anyway you can relax in indianapolis i'm sure you already know in indianapolis that if you don't you can come out of your house now It's okay. Momo has been captured. Then I see, speaking of animals going wild, a plane from Bangkok to Taiwan

had to go, the people were going crazy on this flight. It was a Viet Air flight, I believe. I'm sorry, Viet Jet Air. Viet Jet Air. That's what they're called.

It's the first privately owned airline established in Vietnam and is currently the largest private airline in the country. Okay, sorry. Make sure I get it right. Vietjet Air. So they are flying in Vietjet Air from Bangkok to Taiwan. Yeah, it's not right. Bangkok to Taiwan.

When all of a sudden a rat in an otter that were smuggled on board by a passenger got loose in the cabin. I didn't know what was going on. There was a pet rat. Pat rat. It was a white body. It's a small one. Ah! There was panic on the plane.

Hostesses freaked out upon notice. Hostesses. Stewardesses. Freaked out upon noticing what passengers described as an albino rat and a nearly one foot long otter running around the plane. Now, they searched the valve once they landed. and they, they, everyone calmed down. Apparently they cornered the otter. I don't know.

Some lady said the otter. One lady picked up the otter and carried it up to the hostesses station. And it bitter. So, I mean, Otter was pissed. Okay. So they asked originally, if you're the owner of these animals, you have to tell us that we have to try to get.

get them everybody silent nobody stepped up until finally after you know after more running around down the plane the lady who smuggled them on the plane said uh yeah uh they're mine uh they're mine and uh you know how about uh how about you give me a refund and uh yeah i own the animals well Yeah, did she own them? Yeah. She purchased them at a Thai market and then stuffed them in, you know, a box to take back. Take back to Bangkok. All right.

So the woman faces a penalty of up to $31,000, as outlined in the prevention and control animal infectious disease statute. So she had that wasn't. wasn't all she had with her. She had a box containing 28 live turtles a snake one mare marymont

two otters so only one of the otters got free and two other rodents of unknown species now you most definitely you know all these animals the otter and the rat are running around the airplane.

You most definitely can't start. Yeah, you can't. That's an airplane. Holy cow. Oh, that's big trouble. I mean, that's what that is a movie. Not snakes on a plane. It's, you know, otters on a, otters on a plane.

You start blowing holes in the airline, man. You're crashing over at otter. Plus, I mean, our otters, I guess otters are mean. I don't know that. I don't know that. I've never had a pet otter. you can write your own jokes but so anyway

just be careful if you're ever out of flight from Taiwan to Bangkok on Vietjet jet air be careful be careful out there because you don't want a wild rat

and otter running around on the airplane man could get scary I might as well stick with animals remember it's still fad bear week fat bear week is still ongoing you can vote, just go to, well, it's actually explore.org slash fat bear week,

but you can go to find the Cap Mine National Park website, and that'll take you to the Fat Bear Week brackets, and you can vote. But I see tomorrow 747, the returning champion, Bear 747, is up against 128. Now, 128 is pretty good, but it's not 1747. 747 is going to win again. I haven't seen all of the bears in the contest, but 747 is going to win again. All right.

I'm going to predict that right now. So Saturday you have 747 up against 128, and you have 435 up against 164, which 435 looks pretty good. Could give 747 a run for its fat, but it's possible. And then you have voting still happen. happening on Monday and then the championship. So we'll let you know next week who the Fat Bear champion is. But it's still going on.

And then nobody, I mean, holy God, don't even let me catch you. No, that is not happening. Okay. Not happening. Plus, make it count because that bear is going to be coming at you. Make it count. All right, let's go to the break. group. I need something cold to drink desperately.

So congratulations are in order for Taylor Swift. I see where her eras tour film has already hauled in $100 million plus in advance ticket sales. That opens up next week. So, looking forward to that. I did see someone sent me a picture under the heading. I going to quit life if they do this and it's a picture of uh madden 25 p under the PS5 with the A sports madden 25 and Taylor is on the cover making a hand to heart insignia so don't fool yourself that could happen so I would be prepared to quit life Kyle because I appreciate to sending it to me, but I would be prepared to quit life because that could happen. Congratulations are in order for Chris Rock.

He is going to direct, I thought originally he was going to play Martin Luther King, but it looks like Chris Rock to direct Martin Luther King. The biopic, it's a biopic, yeah, that's what I said, a biopic for Universal. Spielberg is the executive producing the feature. based on the biography. No word yet as to who will play Martin Luther King Jr. in the biopic.

It's a biopic. I know. You already said that. So congratulations to Chris. I like Chris Rock. And so probably should be, you know, worth a watch. I hope it is anyway. I want it to be worth a watch. And also, I have not seen this show yet with David and Victoria Beckham. It's called, it's on Netflix,

it's called Beckham. And it's a, you know, docu series. And so there's an interview that takes place with Victoria. And it's explained in the story that Victoria is doing a sit-down discussion for the documentary

like they all do. And David, sticks his head. out from another room and calls her out. And it's awesome. Maybe it might be the best thing about the docu-series. I don't know. Maybe that's why they're promoting it.

But she opened up about how she and David come from families that were very working class. And after she was finishing her thought, David stuck his head out and said, uh, be honest. Okay. Uh, wanted to be honest. And so she said, I am being honest. And David's like,

uh, what? No, you come from a working class family. Uh, okay. So, um,

what car? And they go back and forth over, uh, her being working class. And then he said, uh, what car did your dad drive you to school in? Miss working class.

And, uh, they did some more back and forth. And she was, okay. in the 80s my dad had a Rolls Royce and so nothing says working class

nothing says working class like a Rolls Royce that's like David like I'm from working class low life parents okay well he doesn't call his parents low life maybe he does but I'm the one that's the superstar athlete that made it big I know you made it big in your little band thing you had going on over there with your salt and pepper girls.

Oh, no, that was another band. This one was just the spice girls. Oh, yeah, I got it. But you weren't working class. K, Victoria? K? Speaking of letters, K! You see what I did there, and now I'm going to X.

You know, the site formerly known as Twitter, which you can follow me on, by the way, at Jeffrey JFR on X. Now, Elon is now going to remove automatically generate headlines from links to external websites, including news articles.

Oh, isn't that interesting? So we're not having any news articles, news headlines leading you to another website when you post on X. Elon, we'll see. We'll see how that goes for you. I mean, I guess you can continue to do, like I have in my, you know, links in bio.

So in my bio, you can put the links in, and that's what they do on Instagram. So I'm sure that that's it. So you could just take the picture of the headline. But the generated headline with them the link? No, Elon doesn't want any of that. And he actually promoted it. I saw where he said, this is a good example of a video interview on X. And so he promoted this guy who's interviewing all these AI,

AI companies, the heads of their companies. And I watched about the first five minutes. of it and I enjoyed the subject it was 2.30 in the morning. So I said they're drinking my coffee half a foot sleep and I'm like, this is a good example and it's hey I so I'm interested

I'm interested in the topic but the guy I will say Elon didn't say you know hey the guy is great he just said this is a good example of video interview on X so but the guy is kind of annoying and I don't know who he is

so he's probably some you know I'm just kidding. If you're anybody that counts, I'm just kidding. But you're kind of annoying. And so I've got to find it now. Yeah, it's,

the guy's name is Robert Scoble, which I'm sure, you know, he's fine. Sir he's fine. Robert Scoble, verified X account. So, let's see. He wrote two books about

spatial computing, AI plus AR plus robots. Media pioneer, tech blogger, former Microsoft and current at Infinite Retina Innovation Strategist. So, there's that. So Robert got the quote tweet from Elon saying that this is a good example. Now, I enjoy the topic and I'll watch some of the videos because I really do want to know this particular video is 43 minutes long and it's, you know, it's about music and AI generative music space.

So it's, you know, it's worth a listen to see where they're going with it. And the first few minutes was, first few minutes from the Amming, Amy Founder that they were talking to was fascinating. So anyway, but Robert Scoble didn't really do it for him. me. Just leave it at that. But I love you, Robert. I love you. So I see where Crocs are

coming out with something that you're going to be seeing. I guarantee I'm going to be seeing them. I'm not going to own them. But they're coming out with the classic crock cowboy boot. I thought the point of wearing

crocs was so that you could let your ugly feet hang out. You know, you got your heel off to the back end. and you're sliding into, you know, maybe putting it, you can see hints of your toes sticking out of the crock, that kind of thing. But, no, just be ready for the cowboy boot crock, which apparently is going to happen the 23rd of this month in select region.

So be ready. I'm sure they'll sell out. They've got, you can have the crock star on the top. You've got the crock skin texture at the bottom, the embroidery, shiny spurs. They do have some ventilation holes. So we will get a hint of your nasty toes inside the crock, but we won't see the heel because the heel is closed off

because you've got the back of the boot and your spurs. Ugh. So how cool is that, huh? Come on now. The crock cowboy boot gives a whole new meaning to giddy up.

Who died today? Who died today? Dick Butkus. That's who? Dick Butkus, legend, legendary NFL football player, dead at the age of 80 years old. Wow. According to the family, he died peacefully to his sleep at his home in Malibu, California. It doesn't say anything about that, so don't even look at me, okay?

He was 80 years old. It was fine. He died because he was 80, not because of that. So just put it out of your mind, okay? Wow. So I was reading about Dick Buckkus. I met Dick once in my life. And he played a small big role in my life.

You can quote me on that. He played a small big role in my life. I told a little bit of this story on Pat Gray overtime today. He was working for a weight lifting company. And they had machines and they set up weight rooms. and a local university in Michigan used his stuff. And so he showed up for the unveiling of the new, you know, world-class weight room, lifting room, training room.

And I was excited because I was like, Dick Butkus, the guy's a legend, right? I mean, hello. And so I got crap most of my life for smoking cigarettes, okay? And especially when I was playing sports. I played sports my whole life, and my body is paying for it now. But I played sports my whole life. But I smoked. And, you know, I mean, my friends would always,

I do smoking. You got to play football. You have played baseball. You can't smoke. And I continue to smoke. And so my one good friend, T.J. Luxon, who's dead now, rest in peace, T.J. I love you. But he was a big proponent of giving me a hard time about smoking.

So, but. But, you know, again, I still smoked. And the coaches, when I all through my, you know, football career would be, you know, we're starting football season up again. So that means, you know, you guys got to, you know, got to start, you know, big guy. There's no smoking, no drinking. Got that fissure? You know, I'm like, I'm the guy they call out.

What are you talking about? I'm just, I'm just here. Okay. So we go see Dick Buck. We're going to go meet Dick Buckas. And at this thing. And so we're outside. and Dick Butkus rolls up in the limo.

And as Dick Butkus, the NFL legend, gets out of the limo, one last quick hit on the cigarette butt and throws it onto the curb as he walks into the room. I was never so happy in my life. Maybe I was. I mean, there may have been a time since that I've been happier. But at that time in my life, was a good, good day. Thank you, Dick Butkus.

Rest in peace, Dick Butkus, dead at the age of 80. Then I started reading about his career. He fought with George Hallis. I think, yeah, Hallis was the owner of the Bears. The guy was Chicago Bears. He went to the University of Illinois. I mean, that was his team, his world. You think of the Chicago Bears, you think of Dick Butkus.

That's almost true to this day. No question. But they talked about how he was fighting. to get paid. Now, he never made any, I mean, Dick Butkus made peanuts to what they make today. He was making, I think, $100, $150,000 a year. You know, we got college players making that in today's world.

But it talked about how when he stopped playing at the Bears because of injury, he had just signed a five-year deal with the Bears for 150, I said 150, sorry, $150,000 a year. Okay. And there was a no cut, no trade clause, and it was supposed to be payable, even if surgery was needed. So the contract was promised necessary medical and hospital care.

Butkus said that that was neglected. Nobody provided him that, which caused him irreparable damage to his knee. The Bears then told him, Yeah, we're not going to pay you. If you're not going to play, we're not going to pay you. Wait, what? I don't think so.

So he filed a suit against the Bears, against the doctor and the Bears, asking for $600,000 in compensatory damages and a million dollars in punitive damages. And eventually it was settled out of court with the Bears. I guess the Bears agreed to pay the full value of his contract. Yeah, and probably should have provided him medical care for the rest of his life. but he and George Hallis didn't speak for years after that. You can see why. I mean, hello, I was the, I'm the franchise, and you're going to treat me like that?

That's just, I mean, all these places, including the NFL, and I know, I know I get it. I know it's not for long. It's a business. I understand it. I honestly, I understand it. But if you're a business and you, Expect loyalty from your employees, then you better give it. It's so many places in today's world.

Expect that loyalty, but they don't give it. And it's just, oh, it's wrong. Frankly, it's just wrong. I also was reading where he was the first one to be a star football player that did the first Super Bowl commercial, you know, as a star. See, he did, remember he did, and I said, remember, he did these, my grandfather used to show these commercials to me, so I would know them when I, you know, as I got older.

He did these Prestone commercials, you know, the anti-freeze, Preston, and in the Super Bowl commercial, his tagline was, you know, used Prestone, because plug in holes. I know what I'm talking about because plugging holes is my business. That is awesome. And he made some money in films and commercials and stuff.

So he did okay with his life. Plus he's Dick Butkus. If he gets hungry, he goes to a restaurant in Chicago, somebody will buy him dinner. I mean, you know, somebody's buying, somebody's buying Dick Butkus a drink. That's just the way. way it is you dick butkus that is happening anyway rest in peace dick buckus 80 years old okay so i got to

talk about this a little bit so i i'd never had this done before i've never done it before uh there's a book by peter seraphon called a more tyrannical king how the federal government has become more oppressive than king george i think we see and feel that every day as a matter of fact just as a side note but Peter does some work for Mojo 5-0 and he's also a Navy veteran and it works for the USPS. Hello, anyone who works for the postal service. You know, I've always wanted to be on the board of governors or the postmaster general.

And so Peter wrote this book. Now, he asked me if I would give him a little testimonial to be on the book. So I'm on the back of the book. Okay? Don't even mess with me. All right. And now I'm talking, I'm living large here.

Okay? So the book is a more tyrannical king, how the federal government has become more oppressive than King George. I already told you that. So this is my testimonial on the back of Peter's book. And I think Dingleberry from Mojo, you know, what's his name? Brad Staggs wrote the preface, if I'm not mistaken. Or the foreword, not the preface.

Yes, he did. Yes, he did. I'm not reading it, but he wrote it. But I will tell you what I wrote about the book, this is my testimonial about the book. That is on the back of the cover of the Peter Seraphim book. We are not ruled by a king, or are we? Peter will open your eyes.
