Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. We have now caught demand. Last week, we talked about the 3,000-year-old golden bracelet

that was stolen from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo? Well, officials have now revealed that a restoration specialist at the museum, inside job, which is what I surmised, reportedly confessed to pilfering the artifact. Apparently, he pilfered the artifact, you know, stole it, and he sold it to be melted down for about $4,000. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

It's got a priceless, well, it's not priceless. It was worth $4,000 to melt it down. A priceless Egyptian bracelet worn by the Pharaoh Amenamope, who ruled during the 21st century. We talked about the ruler of Pharaoh Amanemope. And he's known as the third intermediate period of which he ruled. And his nine-year rule was relatively unremarkable, but his grave site was, you know, one of the three known royal tombs that were discovered fully intact. Most have been looted over the millennia, yeah.

And Egypt has strict rules regarding the protection of antiquities, theft of artifacts, and it's punishable by roughly $200,000 fine and life in prison. So this guy is going away for a long time. And all he was doing was, I mean, he admitted it? They must have added on film or something. They must have caught him taking the trash out when he wasn't supposed to be. you know, he was, he broke for lunch early, something, something to make him confess.

Now, I will say this, is the, you know, is the people that are in charge of all of this at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, are they, you know, forcing this guy? You will confess. We know it's you. You will confess. Okay.

Okay. You got it. You got it. did it. I did it. And I sold it to that guy and he melted it down and all I got was four grand. Okay, you're guilty. Goodbye. We're done. Case solved. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. And just when you think everything is okay, we find out that, well, it's not. And there's a problem. You can't trust anything anymore. Now, the world stone skimming championship, apparently have been rocked by a cheating scandal.

Ha, unbelievable. After several competitors were disqualified for tampering. So rules state that stones must come from naturally occurring island slate. However, some were found to have been ground into a suspiciously circular shape to help them bounce off water. Now, more than 2,200 people from 27 countries attended this year event, this year's event in the tiny island of Eastdale off the west coast of Scotland. I thought the world skimming championships were on Mackinac Island in Michigan.

You know, it's right there above the lower peninsula in between the upper peninsula. Anyway, I thought that's where they held it. But no, they hold it off the west coast of Scotland. So organizer, Dr. Kyle Matthews, said that the offenders had held their hands up and apologized. What kind of criminals are we creating in them? We've got the guy confessing to a theft in Egypt. Now we've got these people cheating at the world skimming championships and it's like oh you know something isn't quite right.

The judges had heard rumors and murmurings of nefarious deeds. Yeah, it was us. It was us. I did it. I did it. I ground him down to make him. I'm sorry. You know what are you going to do? There's a little bit of doctoring to my stones. You know, I ground them down a little bit. Oh, okay. Now, they have this measuring device, which they show, and it's called the Ring of Truth,

and that's to ensure that they are no bigger than three inches in diameter. Each competitor has allowed three skims, and stones must bounce at least twice on the water before sinking. And so the Toss Master, that's Dr. Matthews. He's the head guy. He also goes by, Hey, Tossmaster.

He said that, look, uh, we heard the rumors and we, we asked people about it. And they were like, yeah. Yeah, it's, it's me.

Oh, okay. So they didn't notice at the time that they were suspiciously circular of the judges. Well, you know, one thing led to another. We just didn't, we didn't quite see it.

We weren't paying attention. Okay. All right. Sure. I mean, there's nothing sacred, not even the stone skimming contest. Are you kidding me? So I guess congratulations to Jonathan Jennings, the first American winner of skimming his stones, a cumulative distance of 177 meters.

Yeah, congratulations, Jonathan. Maybe if you didn't cheat. Okay, congratulations. So anyway, I really kind of bummed. out that the whole thing is tainted now. The whole thing is tainted. And now we have an American winner. I mean, that's great, and it should be an American winner. Duh.

But, you know, now everything is under the shadow of cheating, and I don't like it. You know, in sports. Now, in other things, of course, I mean, of course you're going to try to cheat. I mean, I just was reading a story yesterday.

Actually, it doesn't matter when I was reading it, that authorities are accused. using strip club executives of bribing a tax auditor with private dances to avoid paying millions in sales taxes. This is according to the New York Attorney General's office. Well, yeah, duh. Hello. How do you think they stay in business?

Oh, yeah. You guys are here to collect tax money? Why don't you come back and step into my office a little bit, okay? Oh, yeah. Don't worry about those tax bills, okay? I mean, come on, of course it's going on. The Houston-based RCI hospitality holdings and its corporate leaders have received favorable treatment during at least six tax audits

that were performed over a decade in exchange for the perks given to a state auditor. Yeah, according to this, RCI gave the auditor at least 13 complimentary trips to Florida, including hotels, meals, plus up to $5,000 per day for private dances at its strip clubs, including Tutsi's Cabaret in Miami, which is beautiful this time of year. The auditor also received free dances, food,

and admission at clubs in New York. Duh. Those bastards, they shamelessly used their strip clubs to bribe their way out of paying millions of dollars in taxes. The 79 count grand jury indictment that was unsealed last week has five of its executives, RCI, and three clubs in Manhattan with conspiracy, bribery, tax fraud, and other crimes. Okay.

So that's going on. And of course, I mean, of course they're doing that. And of course, they found the guy what happened to the tax auditor. He's still, I mean, he can't have a job, right? He's got to be out. One would think so, except that when you read on into the story, it talks about how there's a sixth person who was not publicly named and was indicted, but yet not arrested.

They won't dissay whether this person was the auditor or not. And they won't tell us if he's out or not. So if he's okay, I mean, holy cow. Wow. I mean, what did he do wrong then? I mean, I guess he could be giving all the evidence and turning everything over and so he doesn't go to jail. And he's saving his life so he doesn't go to jail. I mean, the marriage is done.

The kids don't want to see you. And I don't know why, because you're just stopping off at a club, you know, as you, I've got to go out of business in Florida. I'll be back in a week. Love you too And another strip club news The strip club in Fort Worth, Texas Baby Dolls that was burned down

In a fire last year Is set to be rebuilt In the area So yeah, the new location They've already got a new address, yes And people are saying Hey, hey, hey, hey Maybe we don't want a strip club in the community

Well, Fort Worth City Council Unanimously approved it after they agreed to meet the criteria being at least a thousand feet from homes, schools, and churches. So I'm sure there's no... I'm sure it's all on the up and up. Right. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.

They gave millions of creators free AI videos. tools. I did not get this. The platform unveiled its new AI powered features at its 2025 made-on- YouTube event. See, that's the thing. I didn't go to the event. That's probably what the problem is. So they let creators generate backgrounds, transform photos into videos,

and add AI objects using Google DeepMinds V-O-3. While AI-generated content has been creeping into the feeds for a while now. This could be a tipping point. The YouTube's creator economy has been steadily stealing viewership from traditional media. Yeah. With the platform paying out $100 billion to creators between 2021

and 2024. Again, they must have forgot to mail me any money by chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher on YouTube. They have not not received a check from them. And they haven't even said anything to my PayPal.

Jeffie CTF. I mean, it could be just dropping the money in there. It's fine. That hasn't happened. So if these creators start flooding feeds with synthetic content, it would normalize AI media. Yeah, that is happening. That's already happening, obviously.

And mainstream audiences are not even going to be able to tell the difference very, very soon. So I want to thank YouTube for, you know, go ahead and giving me the AI powered features I needed to create content on my YouTube channel. That was nice of them. And I'd also like to congratulate all the other platforms for, you know, receiving a lot of money from YouTube for what they're creating. That's, that's great.

When we appreciate it. Ouch. I know. I know. I know. Don't rub it in. All right. So I see also this coming up this next weekend is the Rider Cup.

And that tease off on Friday. And usually I don't, you know, I'm not a big, I'm not a huge golf fan. I used to golf a lot when I was, you know, a long time ago. I still have my father, my father golfed in leagues when I was growing up. I still have my, he won a ballpark Frank hot dog putter. It looks like a hot dog cut in half with the fork coming down as a putter. Go ahead. Try to beat me on the putt-putt golf course.

You can't. Not with that. Not if I've got my putter, you're not doing it. Anyway, so the big rider cup is happening, and it's happening at Beth Page Black on Long Island, it's a bienal, bienial, bienial competition. No, that's not how they pronounce it. Bienial competition turns golf into a team sport that pits Americans against Europeans with bragging rights on the line. Okay, so that's kind of cool.

I like that. But then I see where the Europeans, European golfers have been practicing using the VR headsets because they want to prepare themselves for hecklers. Now, I didn't know that was allowed.

I thought golf was supposed to be pure and set aside, but I guess I guess that you could now heckle and you can heckle and I guess it's been going on. You're a bum! You're a bum! You're sweet. like my grandma.

I want to see the videos of the hecklers at the Ryder Cup on Long Island. That would be awesome. And they say the stuff we're going to deal with, it's better to try to desensitize yourself

as much as possible before you get there. That is awesome. I'll record stuff for the VR hecklers. No problem. I will do that. No, I'm not going to do it for free.

But I'll record it. I want to be a heckler. I want to be a heckler in the VR headset. That is awesome, man. Are you seriously going to walk up there like that? Oh, man, come on. That is good stuff. That is...

Dude, you swing like that? I just had a warm-up swing? Loser. Oh, my gosh. I... Yeah. who knows? I mean, how far can you go? I mean,

the whole, you're a bump! What a crappy haircut! I mean, you look like shit! You hit the ball like, fuck, you stupid ass! I mean, how far can you go? That's got to be awesome. Actually, I may want to watch the Ryder Cup

if we're going to get hecklers. If they're going to mic up the field or the course or the driveway or, the chorus or the greens or wherever you want it. Oh, you're going to put with that. Loser! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

That has to happen. I want that to happen. Come on, Long Island. Come, we've got to help. You got to help the Americans, man. You got to help the Americans. Just when they're starting to, they're in their back squing. They're getting ready to get ready for the drive.

Oh my God. Just anything to shake him. That will be awesome. Just awesome. Rather on the green, 20-foot putt right there, man. Looking for that left-hand break. You look like your grandma. Why'd you crap out of golf ball and put that, you bum?

I mean, that is, I want that to happen. Is that just me? It is? All right, no, never mind. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. tired of hollering at these guys desperately. Be sure to follow me on my social media

All right, so it was a rough weekend at the movie theaters, for sure. And I'm sure that between college football, National Football League, and Charlie Kirk's Memorial, I'm sure it had nothing to do with people not going to the movie theaters.

Holy cow. So the top movie was This is so I mean okay so Charlie Kirk's memorials this weekend And I mean Hundreds of thousands of people If specifically in Phoenix

And millions around the world Are viewing this Online And it was a It was a great day Full of speakers Who all loved Charlie Kirk And who want to continue his mission

were there in Phoenix yesterday. And it was really incredible. I mean, at least 70,000 plus in the stadium, in the main stadium, and they opened up the other arena, the basketball arena. That holds 20,000. And there was still at least probably 100,000 people outside.

And they were out of seven, It was incredible. It was just amazing. It was absolutely amazing. And all because of Charlie Kirk. I mean, obviously, you know, Erica and the family and Turning Point USA. But, I mean, Charlie Kirk, man, force of nature. Because the number one movie in America this weekend was Demon Slayer, Infinity Castle.

I didn't, hey, don't shoot the messenger. Hey, that's why they have messengers, Jeff. Oh, okay, never mind. So Demon Slayer, Infinity Castle was the number one movie, but only at like 17.3 million. And I say only because, really, that's nothing. That's a tough weekend. I look down here on here,

No question, Infinity Castle. No question. And these anime releases, the three-part series. And it was funny, I was talking, I mentioned to my kids, I'm surprised you guys aren't going to see Demon Slayer, Infinity Castle. I've never been a Demon Slayer fan. I've never been a Demon Slayer fan.

And then they go down a long list of other animates that they love. Oh, okay, well, never mind. Just asking. Then number two, hymn. Number three, conjuring. Last Right. Wow. I mean, you want to talk about, holy cow, what a difference.

Flyers and two Stanley Cup championships during their heyday. The Broad Street bully heyday has passed away at the age of 80. They have not said what the cause of death was for Bernie Parent, but rest in peace to the Hall of Famer, considered to be one of the greatest goleys of all time for the Flyers, dead at the age of 80. Then we have Grammy-winning songwriter Brett James, who co-wrote Jesus Take the Wheel,

dies in a plane. He was, that was Jesus Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood. And when the sun goes down by Kenny Chesney, right. He died in a plane crash at North Carolina, the small plane with three people aboard. Holy cow, so he wasn't the only one. Crasn Thursday afternoon under unknown circumstances in the woods in Franklin. I love it. Man, have you ever been up in that neck of the woods? It's beautiful. Anyway, the federal aviation of an interdition. said there's a preliminary report. There were no survivors. So he was, yeah. And do they name the other two? They do. Rest and peace to Melody Carroll and Merrill Maxwell Wilson, along with Brett James, dead at the age of 57. Rest in peace to all of those souls.

Then we have Sonny Curtis, another singer, songwriter, guitarist, who played with Buddy Holly. Oh man, brush with plane crash death. Anyway, he died at very sad at the age of 88. Now, this guy was awesome, okay? Like, Jesus, take the wheel, wasn't awesome enough for you? Okay. But this one by Sonny Curtis, he wrote and performed this classic.

Right? Right. Huh? to know it with each pass and every little love is all about the Mary Tyler Moore show, man.

Come on. Sing it, Sunny. I'm going to throw the hat up here pretty soon, man, at the end of the open. Yeah. Come on. Yeah. Sonny Curtis, classic.

They live on forever. Live on forever. Dead at the age of 88. Now, according to reports, from his daughter. It was a sudden illness that caught up to him at the age of 88. Very sad.

I mean, this guy, holy cow, he played with all the greats in the past, and he also wrote the hit in 1958, I fought the law. Now, I mean every band

comics, Ontario.ca. So those of you that listen and watched a Saturday morning live, thank you very much. I do that every Saturday, 9 a.m. Central with Brad Staggs. And we have a great time. And it starts at 9 a.m. Central. It usually runs a little, you know, right around an hour a little bit more. We have great time. So join us Saturday mornings on my ex at Jeffrey JFR.

And I talked about how hundreds of flights in and out of DFW had been canceled or postponed because of a telecommunications equipment issue. Oh, okay. It disrupted DFW, it disrupted love. It disrupted airports all over the country, really, because once you start screwing up flights, it's a domino effect around the country forever. So the Federal Aviation Administration said,

yeah, it's slowing down flights. Uh-huh, like, I don't know, hundreds, if not thousands. of flights. I mean, by the time Saturday was done, it was well over a thousand to 1700 flights. And right away, I mean, the first report was, well, those first 700 flights don't count. Don't even worry about those. Oh, okay. All right. So they said it was an issue involving the telecommunications provider for the air traffic control facility that oversees the airspace in the DFW area. Oh,

okay. It's not even, didn't have anything to do with the aging equipment or air traffic controllers relying on the nationwide shortage of controllers. I don't have anything to do with any of that. Don't be silly. Oh my gosh, are you guys out of your

mind? Of course we got that new $12, $13 billion new funding plan to hire thousands of workers and get new equipment. But that hasn't been done yet. That's silly. And that doesn't have anything to do with the telecommunications provider issue, equipment issues that disrupted everything today.

Nothing, nothing at all. Nothing at all. Well, then come to find out more this weekend. Huh? It's strange enough that it happened this weekend. a cyber attack in Europe on airports. Now, they actually said, admitted to it being a cyber attack. They said Collins Aerospace, which provides check-in and boarding technology for airlines,

was targeted in a hacking attack on Saturday. Huh. The parent company said it was aware of a cyber-related disruption to its Mews software. Brussels airport said, well, there's going to be some heavy disruption. through the weekend. Until we get this thing sorted out. And yeah, I'm sure it's going to affect the bigger airports. It's kind of like, I don't know, a domino effect like it does here in the U.S.

where everything gets screwed up because of one airport. Yeah, that happened as well. So I'm sure that everything's going to be fine. I'm sure of it. I just wanted to let you know, you know, what's going on. I know there's global flights in and out of all these airports. You're fine. No, it's fine.

Don't even worry about it. I don't even know why I brought it up. I mean, because I just wanted you to be aware that, well, you know, if you were flying somewhere, let's say you were trying to fly out of New York. And you wanted to go to London or you wanted to go to Dallas. You know, good luck. Good luck.

Because you can't get there. You can't get there. So that's all. They'll worry about it. But they admit to the hack job. At least, at least in Europe, they're saying, yeah, we were hacked. We were hacked. No, don't worry about it.

Whereas here in the U.S., it was a telecommunications equipment issue. Okay, sure. You got it. You know what? I believe you. I do. All right, let's get out of here with the joke of the day sent by Lisa

to chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Now, Lisa said she's not taking credit for the joke. This credit goes to Mary Jo on an old episode of Designing Women. So we've had Mary Tyler Moore mentioned today. I don't know about designing women today, man. Holy cow, we are. You want to talk about an evolved show. That is us.

Anyway, an old maid and her old cat live in an old run-down shack. Of course, if you're an old maid and you have an old cat, you would live in an old run-down shack. There's a song there somewhere. She finds a lamp and the genie grants her three wishes. Her first wish, she asked to have a big, beautiful home. Tadda! Wish granted.

The second wish, she asked for her to be young and beautiful. Tada! She's young and beautiful. The third wish, she asked the genie to turn her old cat into a young, handsome man. Tadda! the young handsome man, the lady is so excited. She's smiling and jumping up and down. She runs over and hugs the man and starts to kiss him

and tells him to take her upstairs and make sweet love to her right now. And the man says, you should have thought about that before you had me fixed. That was a long way to the well for that joke. That's a long way to the well I want you to know. Ha ha. Tada.
