So the other day, we got news that Alphabet, the mothership of Google, reached a market capitalization of $3 trillion. So it joined the $3 trillion club. Apple, Microsoft, and Invidia are now worth $3 trillion. Then I think on that same day, they announced that Larry Ellison was the richest man in the world jumping in front of Elon Musk. And I thought, really? He jumped ahead of Elon?

Well, you know, for that day. Okay? So he was the richest guy in the world for that day. He dethroned him for a few hours. That's it. And Elon was like, no? because I looked at the richest person list from Forbes,

it's a real-time tracking list, and Ellison now is only worth $361 million. I mean, I don't know how the guy's getting by. Elon is back up to over $470 million worth. Holy cow, just incredible. So what happened was, is that he jumped ahead,

and Elon was down a little bit, but then Elon apparently makes about $385. It's right there, $385 billion on that day. Yeah, not so fast. Now his net worth is really, I don't know, $500 million, something like that. So that bumped him up to $429 billion. So, yeah, you need to calm down.

Calm down a little bit, Larry. Okay. Bezos is fourth. Wow. Holy cow. Buffett is 10th. Where is Balmer is 8th?

My name is not a... My name, they barely let me open up this link. Okay? No. But what's his face? Zuckerberg is third, but no mention at all in the top of. 10 of

Bill Gates. I mean, he's not even the top 10. He's probably down to about the I don't know what, 13th. Let's see, shall we? 17th. Wow. I mean, he's only worth $106 billion now.

That's embarrassing, Bill. That's embarrassing. He should have never gotten a divorce. A divorce killed him, man. Bezos lived through it. But he should have taking some notes. Anyway, I just wanted to, for those of you that were crying over Elon Musk dropping down from

the richest man in the world, it's easy. It was only for a few hours, so life is still okay. Listen, I will say this if, you know, Elon, you know, you're sitting around with nothing to do, you know, at those times when you got nothing to do, you think to yourself, man, I need to give some money away. Jeffie CTF is my PayPal. You remember the company that you sold? Yeah, I still have an account there.

I have a little account there, and you could just drop some cash into that account for me. You know, I would accept it. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. I've been angry about this story since I woke up this morning at, I don't know, it was like 2.30 and I'm drinking my coffee, looking through some stories to do for you because I want to work this time.

come to the bone for you. And plus I'm doing Packery. I'm leased every day and I got this show to do. My gosh. It's never, it's never ending. I give and I give and I give. Seriously, you're welcome. But, so this, I'm reading this story about Publishers Clearing House. Publishers Clearinghouse.

I think everyone at one point in their lives who is over the age of, I don't know, 100, no, maybe under 100, somewhere in there. It would do 75. We'll cut you to 75. at one time thought they were going to win the publishers clearinghouse right and they've given away money for life people won money for life they got the big check you're at your house you got the balloons you got the you got the cameras you got the giant check all of it was the big thing okay so they are now filing bankruptcy okay so in fact uh the 10 there are 10 prize winners among the

20 largest unsecured creditors in the listing. It's estimated that the total current value of its promised prizes were at $26 million, which is an amount just lower due to the need to pay them over an extended period of time. It had payments of $1.9 million due just this year. Okay, so ARB Interactive just purchased, Publishers Clearing House. And they defended not paying out the prizes as part of the purchase agreement.

That is BS. That was promised to those people. That was a deal through that company. And how is it possible that it's allowed to have that money saying you're giving it away and not have it in a separate account? They're just running a Ponzi scheme. They don't have a separate account.

This is why you take the cash payout on the lottery. If you win the lottery, I know they tell you really the 30-year plan is the way to go because you continue to get it every year and, you know, it builds up. However, 20 years in of your 30-year plan, the state says, eh, we're not paying you anymore.

We're out of money. Sorry. 10 years in, sorry. you would take the money now take the cash payout okay so according to this they're planning to implement a pay structure separate

from that that publishers clearinghouse did oh oh okay so the new company is going to have their deal to no screw you if you're taking the company and not paying off the people that are there and have been there that's a problem

and I know publishers clearinghouse look, nobody's buying magazines anymore. Got it. That revenue has dropped dramatically in the near, I mean, in 2017, they went from $854 million to $182 million in 2020. Okay. And by the time it's bankruptcy filing of this year, the company reported liabilities of between $50 million and $100 million,

including the promised prizes. That's an issue. Okay. And that money should, whatever money they had in any kind of holding sell for these people, I think they call it a trust fund. I'll just call it a holding cell. Anyway, that money should go to these people. That is absolutely ridiculous.

And look, I got it. These people, the one guy is quoted in the story as saying, yeah, you know, I thought my, I was promised $5,000 a week for life. and yeah, I thought it was when I didn't get my check at the beginning of the year, I thought, hey, yeah, I would have thought more than, hey. So I got it, okay?

This is free money, and, you know, you've been getting it now and should you've been saving it instead of spending it on jet skis and homes? Sure. But now they're saying, I've got to get a job, and I haven't worked in 10 years.

I disagree with this so much I cannot tell you. It just drives me insane. How they could promise you something like this and then how a court allows it to happen. The people who are the winners of this should continue to get their money. 100% of it. You cut it off, you don't have the event anymore,

you stop giving away money. The new company can say, hey, our prizes are going to be less, whatever you do. However you want to work it out, fine. But to just say, that, sorry, you're screwed. Yeah, I know we told you.

I know we told you and everything, but yeah, sorry. You're just not getting it anymore. And by the way, we filed for bankruptcy, and we're going to go ahead and sell it. And so you're just good luck, God bless. That is absolutely agonizing. And really, it was just a giant pie.

Ponzi scheme that Publishers Clearinghouse was doing. So, and really, I'm sure that they thought, like every good Ponzi scheme, the money will just continue to keep running in. But when they're giving money away like that, okay, in the Ponzi scheme, it's just you, right? You're getting people from your clients to give some of it back to other clients that are asking for it, but for the most part, you're just keeping it for you. So, but this was, they're taking the money and giving it away, and they're telling you that you've won the prize, the publisher's clearing house giveaway.

And they make a big deal about it. That money should have been set aside and should go to those people. It should not be part of some kind of bankrupt plan and gone to the other company. That is, I'm very angry on behalf of these people. and the ARB Interactive, the mobile gaming company that bought Publishers Clearing House, that to say that it was okay to not honor these payments is complete BS. Oh, and I wanted to thank Chris Isidore, who wrote this article about Publishers Clearing House on CNN business because he must be listening to Chewing the Fat, and I appreciate it.

Thank you for listening to Chew and the Fat. He's using my words in his stories. And, for example, he talks about how Publishers Clearing House allowed people to win without buying tickets or even the magazine subscriptions that they were hawking. That's my line. Okay, Chris, thank you for listening to Chew and the Fat.

I appreciate it. And I really don't know why I'm so mad about it. I just damn these people got ripped off, and I don't like seeing people get ripped off like that. That's all.

Yesterday we talked about how the White House announced it had a framework of a deal with China to, divest its U.S. TikTok business. Uh-huh. But now we have some of the specifics, at least it's reported to be some of the specifics.

The app's U.S. business would be controlled by a consortium including cloud giant Oracle and private investment firms, Silver Lake and Andresen Horowitz, love them. Users in the U.S. would reportedly

have to move over to a new app. That will go over real, that'll go over great, which TikTok is already testing, okay? A new board would compromise, comprise mostly of Americans, one of whom would be appointed by the government with the deal in the works,

President Trump extended the deadline for China's bite dance to divest the apps, US operations, or be shut down for a fourth time. So again, yesterday I said, there's no way this deal happens. And I still believe that. There's just no way.

As long as we keep extending it and reaching it out because we've been told there we're close to a deal. I don't know. Every time just before they extend the deal. This is the fourth time. And it still hasn't happened. But I was reminded of a story that I've done a couple of times here on the show from Bleeding Edge, Jeff Brown's group Bleeding Edge. and his email and information website that they do.

And way back in, I don't know when this was, 2021, I think. I think it was 2021. It might have been 2020. Might have even been 19. I'm not positive about it. But he did a story called TikTok has a dark side. And this is exactly why I tried to keep my family off of TikTok for the longest time possible. and then, you know, I lost the battle.

And so is the United States. They've got like, what, 170 million users, right? Active in the U.S. Are you think all of those are going to switch to a new app? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ah, that makes me laugh. Everybody got time for that? Plus, they're going to, if they're going to move you to a new app,

are you going to be able to bring your content over with you? I doubt it. But okay, sure. Absolutely. Let's say it's going to happen. But if this still holds true, this is why we need to get rid of bite dance. Okay. This is Jeff's reminder that TikTok's, you know, what TikTok is, and it's owned by a bite dance.

And he mentioned in his story last month that bite dance was fined for violating child privacy laws in the United States. Just fine. That's why I said I would not be comfortable with my children using it. Okay, that's Jeff Brown. It turns out that TikTok is even worse than I thought. A researcher reverse-engineered TikTok and determined exactly what information was being sent back to bite dance. The app collects everything about a user's phone.

It documents the phone's hardware specs and every app that's been downloaded. It pings the phone's GPS location roughly every 30 seconds. That means the TikTok tracks exactly where you are. all the time. It also knows which Wi-Fi networks its users connect to. It documents the address of the router, as well as every other device connected to each network. And if that wasn't scary enough, according to Jeff,

TikTok has written its software code to allow it to potentially download software to Android phones and then run that software without the user's knowledge or consent. And the software could be anything. malware, surveillance software. You know, I'm pretty sure that's, what do they call that? Oh, yeah, illegal. Anyway, so that's just something to think about. Do you think Bite Dance is still doing that?

I would guess that they claim no. Oh, that kills me. That kills me because I feel like that is, they will still do that. So whether you're using TikTok or whatever app you're, using, you need to think ahead and remember that, and I didn't know this, September is national preparedness month.

I know. Now you know. It's a great reminder that it's always smart to be ready for whatever comes our way. Couldn't be a better time to prepare. Some people are saying we're headed into a recession. Yeah, others not so much. But we'll see. And you've got to be prepared for anything. Recession, a natural disaster. Those happen just next time you

TikTok could explode. You don't know. You don't know. You've got to be prepared. And whether, you know, whatever happens it makes sense to be prepared. Preparedness isn't fear-based. It's just common sense. And having the right supplies on hand. It gives you peace of mind.

Even if it starts, when everyone else starts to panic, you're ready. That's where Jace case comes in. Jace Medical provides real-world solutions. like the Jace case, which has 10 emergency medications and prescription antibiotics, shipped to your door so you're ready ahead of time, and Jace Daily, which is up to 12 months supply of your chronic medications.

I know it's fire. Shut up. I just want to call it Frye. because it irks me a little bit, that FYR, he thinks he's so cute. Anyway, it was coming up for auction. Well, it finally was purchased by a file sharing platform, LimeWire, for $245,000.

Now, they outbid, apparently, actor Ryan Reynolds production company on eBay, and the company says it will unveil a reimagined version of the infamous firebrand in the coming months. I want to call it Frybrands so bad. Limewire became popular back in 2000s for music streaming and one point boasting more than 50 million monthly users. Years after being shut down for copyright infringement, the company relaunched in 2022, a file sharing service, specializing in NFTs. How did those work out, by the way?

Today, it's among the most downloaded platforms on social media app, on the social media app Discord with over 2 million active users. how is that platform actually working out these days? I just ask it. You know, asking for a friend. That's all. Anyway, the company has yet not revealed what the plans are going to be for the old Fry Festival,

which is, that must happen, that must have, 2017, wow, that was a long time ago. And so, I mean, he was busted for wire fraud, and he spent years in prison. So we'll see. Congratulations to Limewire. No, congratulations, because,

You bought, man, who doesn't want the Fry Festival. I mean, that's why Ryan wanted it too, because it would be, it's kind of cool to have, the FYRE Festival. At least you have the rights to the name. What it has turned into looking like, though, is kind of a nightmare. I don't know that people actually want to be associated with that.

But hey, good luck. I hope it works out for everybody. Okay, so we all want to look better, nicer and younger. You thought I was going to do a commercial, didn't you? Nope, I'm talking about Botox. Everybody, you know, my three cuts to clown face theory is actually true, but it stretches out a little bit longer in today's world because more people get, less people get cuts and more get shots and fillers.

And so it takes a little bit longer to get to that clown face. But really, when you start cutting, three cuts to con. inflates absolutely works. So when I read this story, I thought, oh, man, no. How about no? So apparently, the procedure that is on the rise is something called scrotox. Yes, that's exactly what you're thinking. More men.

No, no, no, no, not yet. Not yet. But that's what they're using it for, absolutely. Because, you know, you feel bad about yourself. and you think, man, I want something I needed to look better. And maybe if you want to, you know, if you're filming, if you're in the film business,

I haven't been in the film business, you know, in a while. If I was to get back into the film business, maybe then I get a little scrot talks and say, hey, get a load of this thing, huh? Looking nice and smooth, pretty good, huh? Or if you want to send a selfie,

you know, you want to show somebody, hey, thinking of you. Pretty good looking, huh? See what I'm saying? I mean, come on now. You do you, boo. But whether to reduce wrinkles or look younger, I guess we want to apply that procedure to you there.

And so you get a scrotox procedure so that you look bigger. I don't think it does anything. It doesn't say anything. that it helps with well with size or girth. But I guess it looks good

makes it look better. And my first question would be does it? No, no, no, no. It's not business at all. It would be does it. But it reduces wrinkles and creases in the skin

making it appear smoother. It treats, hyperhydrosis sweating of the skin how many people have that really seriously temporarily increasing okay here we go temporarily increasing size

because relaxing the muscles allows to hang lower okay so maybe maybe it is yeah it'll load of this huh I don't think it's that

big. I don't think it makes it big enough to reach the Carmen line, but that is just me. So if you are out there and, you know, you were thinking to yourself, man, I wish there was something, something I could do, something I could do. There is. All you have to do is get a hold of your local physicians. Say, hey, I'd like to get a scrotox. Please. All right, before we get out of this segment, I just wanted to say, I just was told that apparently our I'll be nice. He played What's the Lie? Adrian was asked to go to the local convenience store across the way

and get a couple of scratch-off tickets because we have gambolers anonymous meetings going on. And apparently scratch-off tickets help in that case. And he was asked to buy three scratch-off tickets at the local convenience store across the way from Mercury Studios here. And just pick up three scratch-off tickets for me. and I'll pay you when I get here, which is a little shady to begin with, but I get it. Okay.

And so he comes in and they gave him a powerball ticket with three sets of numbers, a quick pit powerball ticket with three sets of numbers for six bucks. Now, okay, a couple things with this, all right? We need to be clear to the people. We need to take this back to the convenience store and say, this isn't scratch off. Okay? I'll explain English to you. scratch-off would be those, okay?

This is not scratch-off. Now, you can't give this ticket back. It's yours. You already purchased it, you can't give it back. Because what will happen is, if you say, I want my money back or I want to exchange these for the scratch-offs, because I asked for scratch-offs. They'll just set these on the machine.

And then they'll either give you your money back or the scratch-offs, and they may keep it, put the money in the till for them, six bucks, or the next person that comes in to play Powerball, they say, hey, I got a quick pick ticket here for six bucks. If I go into play Powerball at that store and say, I got a quick pick ticket here, I'm buying it. I'm there. I may buy my, I say, give me another one or whatever,

but I'm buying that one. Because what's going to happen is you're going to turn this back in to that convenience store and you're going to say, yeah, this is not what I asked for. I want my scratch-off ticket. And I just want my money back or I want the scratch-off ticket to you take this back. Okay. So what's going to happen is the story's going to be, yeah, I went into the convenience store.

door and the clerk said, hey, I got this powerball ticket here with three quick picks on it. Do you want it? And I thought about it for a second. I said, yeah, just put it in the bag with the rest of my stuff. And it's won me $500 million. So you can't turn this back in. You cannot turn this back in. But what we need to do is be clear to the convenience door workers, this is not a scratch off. Okay? Let's just be clear about that. And we need to make that very clear to them.

They claim that over 41 million viewers tuned into Netflix to watch the Terrence Crawford Camillo Alvarez fight, Canello Alvarez, I got it, for the undisputed super middleweight

title in front of a sold-out Allegiant Stadium crowd this last Saturday night in Lous of Vegas. So it didn't eclip the 108 million viewers with the 125 million using the live plus one metric, who watched Jake Paul's fight with Mike Tyson last November, but it was easily the most

viewed men's championship boxing match in the century. According to Netflix, Canello Crawford peaked at over 24 million concurrent streams with the main event scoring an estimated average minute audience of 36.6 million live plus

same day viewers from opening to closing bell, per video amp and Netflix. The event was also number one on Netflix in 30 countries, including U.S., Mexico, Canada, Ireland, and Australia, while cracking the top 10 in 91 other countries. And then the bout took place at Allegiance Stadium. That generated a gate of over $47 million, which was the largest in history of the stadium,

and third largest in boxing history. behind Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, they got $72 million, and the Mayweather, Connor McGregor, got $55 million. Floyd's been in a couple of big fights. Made a lot of money. So it did pretty good. They're happy with it, I'm sure. That's a live event going around the world.

Yeah, that's what Netflix wants to do. Also, today is a day that is pretty incredible. It says, you know, I always read, you know, today in history. And in 1983, Vanessa Williams became the first black woman crowned Miss America. That happened in 1983. And of course, it says, you know, her quote would be, you should be unique, you should be confident. And that's how people remember who you are. You have to be willing to share who you are and your story, Vanessa Williams.

And I love Vanessa Williams. Always have. And in particular, I've always loved her since. I remember in 1983, she was published in Penthouse. That was a huge scandal back in 1983. In today's world, but in 1983, it was history. I mean, she made history by being the first African-American woman crown Miss. America was huge.

It was a watershed moment. The world was all ready for it. And then it was short-lived because in July of 1984, she learned during an interview that Penthouse Magazine had purchased and planned to publish unauthorized nude photographs taken years earlier. The images had been sold without her consent or knowledge. Playboy, Hugh Hefner, didn't want to air them. Wouldn't buy them, wouldn't publish them, because he said that there was absence of model

release and ethical concerns. Penhouse magazines, Bob Gutione, at the time, said, yeah, I don't care. I bought them. They're mine. I'm going to print them. And he did. And it became Pennhouse's best. Best-selling edition ever.

I mean, and she was huge. Apparently, when she was in college, going to Syracuse, she worked as a makeup artist at a photography studio. The photographer convinced her to pose for nude silhouette photos, promising they would never be made public. Uh-huh. Then, of course, they were. And, you know, I mean, I don't know how you end up trusting people after that.

but she did and she was you know fought through it and instead of ruining her life and ended up ending up working at 7-11 she became Vanessa Williams and she's awesome but man back in 1983 that scandal was something that was something now I personally I would like to be able to tell you that those pictures in penthouse were something but man I wouldn't wouldn't think about Looking at Penthouse. You can find him. They're out there if you want to show them. Let's get out of here.

I'll leave you with a joke of the day. It's Tuesday. Today is Wednesday. Wow. Wednesday, the 17th of September already. 2025. Wow. All right, let's get out of here.

A joke of the day. This comes from Brandon, although it really comes from his son. and so his son Bishop sent it this joke. So hello, Bishop, whatever you're doing with your dad. Just don't ask to see the penthouse pictures. Okay, just don't do that. But anything else you can ask for.

Have you heard, this is from Bishop, his 10-year-old son. Have you heard the joke about the broken pencil? Never mind. It's pointless. see because no no no you got it stream and subscribe to more blaze media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts
