Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher When you go to purchase your plane ticket And you of course want a seat in You want to sit in 11A Right? I mean you have to sit in 11A now

The survivor from the India plane crash Sat in seat 11A Well come to find out There's another person Who survived a plane crash 27 years ago And what seat was he sitting in when he survived? 11A. So, I mean, I don't know what the odds are of that, but apparently he claimed that

it's goose bump worthy. Uh, yeah. Right. So I wouldn't be surprised if the airlines are now going to start charging a couple extra dollars more for seat 11A. And I would say to the airlines, if you don't have a C to 11A on your plane, create one because people want to sit there. So I'm just giving you an opportunity to make a couple extra bucks. I know you guys are hurting these days. So if you on your plane don't have a Cid 11A, create one. And if you already have one, charge more for it.

You're welcome. And welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. You know, speaking of airlines, pretty incredible Pan Am. Pan American World Airwaves. I mean, they've been gone for years. They're back. They are back.

They've been gone apparently 30 years ago. They declared bankruptcy. Well, they're back. They have a blue and white Boeing 757, complete with the iconic Pan Am logo on it. And they're selling luxury tours. They have 50 passengers on this particular tour. It's, uh, they're saying. saying, hey, use us.

Sure, some of you people are going to space and taking rides on, you know, billionaire spaceships. Don't worry about us. We're looking to the past, and we're going to replicate the experience your grandparents raved about, namely fully reclining seats, an open

bar, flight attendants, and little hats. The private trip stops in Bermuda, Portugal, France, UK, and Ireland. And the whole trip only cost 59,000 $950. So it's coming in just under $60,000, including lodging.

So that's a pretty good deal. Technically, the Pan Am airline is really not back, I guess. The investors bought the trademark last year and are now merely slapping the brand on a chartered plane. So they're back. Don't bog me down with your little facts. And so they're looking to make this a real deal. they're going to have more tours, stops in the Pacific, Los Angeles Hotel,

1970s revamped dinner theater experience, maybe becoming a real airline again with regularly scheduled service. Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen. Why do that? When you can have chartered tour flights under the Pan Am logo for 60 grand a seat, yeah, we're doing that.

You know, speaking of astronauts, Katie Perry, I was just reading that she is not going to the Jeff Bezos Lauren Sanchez wedding. What? I mean, that was the girl's night out on the spaceship to get ready. That was the bachelorette party. Carmelon. Yes. That's why they went there. It was for the bachelorette party for Lauren Sanchez. And now she's not going to the wedding.

Are they on the outs? That's what rumor has it. And really, no, they're not on the outs. Is Orlando Bloom and Katie Perry on the outs? Because it's reported that Orlando Bloom is going to the wedding. Without, you know, minus Katie. So are they on the outs? Well, no, not really.

It just appears that way. Apparently, Katie Perry will be on her Australian leg of her tour when the wedding is happening. Didn't Lauren check the dates on that? What is happening with that? That seems like a scheduling. conflict because well you know what it really was is Lauren was like this is when my wedding is

and you need to come I'm at my Australian tour I don't care you cancel your tour or whatever don't you know do you not know who I am and so okay all right that big wedding's coming up I mean

apparently it's going to be just two days the 24th I guess that would be three days 24th 25th and 26th of June this month, just days away. We are days away from the Jeff Bezos-Loren Sanchez wedding weekend in Venice, Italy. I mean, Orlando, if you need somebody to go with you, all you got to do is reach out. Just direct message me on X at Jeffrey JFR or Facebook or Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio.

You know, maybe you reach out to email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com and just reach out. Let me know. and I'm happy to go with you. I'll hold your hand. Man, I'll play with the kids. Whatever. To go to the Bezos-Sanchez wedding, the three-day celebration in Venice, Italy.

Yeah, I'll be Orlando's second. I'm there. Katie's not going to be there. You need somebody. You need somebody to go. And we're still in Pride Month, so it works. I mean, come on. I'm willing to go for that.

So when you hear all the news that, cady Perry is not going to the wedding Orlando Bloom is going by himself yeah well she's got a scheduling conflict in Australia so when you hear the headline Orlando Bloom taking host of Chewing the Fat podcast of the

Jeff Bezos Lauren Lauren Sanchez wedding you'll know you'll know that he listens I know don't worry about it I'm in I mean I'm going to have a lot of money soon so maybe that changes the way Orlando sees me and it certainly is going to change the way

you know, Jeff and Lauren see me. I'm not going to have Bezos money, but who does? There's only a few people on the planet that have Bezos money. But the telegram founder, Pavel Durov has come up with a rather unusual succession plan. He's worth $17.1 billion. Okay. So he has six biological children and 100 more he has fathered with sperm donations over the past 15 years. And he's going to, you know, he wants to give all of his money to all the children, the six biological and all the children that he's fathered with sperm donations.

I am one. I just want to go on record as saying I believe that I am one of the children of Pavel. Jeff, you're older than 15 years ago. Yeah, I know. Don't blog. Again, don't bog me down with facts. I just, I just know that, you know, he's looking to give away his money to the kids. And I'm here.

I'm here for him. That's kind of sweet. If you are some of the biological children, you're pissed, right? Because here's a guy you're planning on getting your teeth into $17 billion. And he's like, yeah, there's still a bunch of people on the list. You'll get some. And I don't know how he's going to break it up. I don't think they actually broke down how everybody's going to get their money.

So the biological kids, let's say they get a billion apiece. I don't know if they'll be able to live the life they've become accustomed to living with just a billion, but maybe. And then you break up the other 11 billion to the 100 kids. So what's that? $500 million each? That's not bad. That's not bad. I am not putting return to sender on that envelope when the check arrives.

I'll tell you that. I'm taking that to the bank. So apparently we do know how he's going to break it up. It's a little disappointing. Okay. So he claims that he considers all

106 children equally. So there's not going to be anything extra for the six biological and the other hundred. Nobody's getting, no, we're not breaking it up that way. And he said that they will have the same rights.

He also said I should not have looked into this This just bumps This makes me angry He also said None of his heirs Can access the money For 30 years

I want them to live like normal people And not to be dependent On a bank account No! I want the money now Dad I'm just a sum of it Right

Put it in a trust fund And give me a pittance Every year Something I don't get any of it for 30 years? Yeah, 30 years needs to be coming quicker. And with you dead, it comes a lot quicker, Dad. Wow, that's a little troubling.

But hey, congratulations to all the family members. And, you know, I'm glad that he's taking care of everyone equally. And, and, we appreciate all the sperm donations and everything that you've done for humanity. Ugh. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. So about a week ago, a semi-truck driver reported that he had just discovered his trailer had been broken into.

What happened? I was just checking my trailer, and wouldn't you know, I was doing a pre-trip inspection. and I realized, why gosh, several pallets of whatever I was hauling is missing. I don't know what I was hauling. I knew it was games or toys or something because I was on my way to Grapevine, Texas

to a GameStop store, but I don't know what was in the back of my trailer. Well, apparently what was in the back of his trailer and what is now missing was $1.4 million of the new Nintendo Switch 2s. so now's about the time so we're about a week into this thing that you should be able to perhaps find some stolen switches on the market

for a little cheaper than than what you would pay full price for or is the whole thing just an inside job and it's just a way for perhaps a store like say a separate store in I don't know in Grapevine, Texas say

you know have them stolen and then delivered and then just sell them for regular price and that's just free money I just know I don't know to switch to have a kill code

or an ID number that if I log on it automatically they know which one it is like the Apple phones I don't know the answer to that so good luck if you buy one and you get the message on the screen this is a stolen stitch

stolen switch too we're going to go ahead and shut this thing down then you'll know then you'll know and you can say I didn't know I didn't know what I should have known and I but how much did you pay for it well I paid you know

I paid a couple hundred bucks for it do they go for 500 I know I just thought he was giving me a discount or you could say hey I bought it from the store at a regular price it shouldn't close down so I don't know what's going to happen, but if you, I want to know.

I want to know, if you buy Nintendo Switch 2 and you get the, we're going to have to close this thing down. This is an illegal Switch 2. Then I want to know about it. You can email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. So 2,810 Switch 2s are out there from the back of this semi-trailer.

And, you know, I guess we're assuming that the truck driver had nothing to do with it. He said he didn't know what he was hauling. Uh-huh. And he also said, it's interesting that they said that he was doing a pre-trip inspection. But the investigation, when they were talking to the investigators, they were saying that they weren't sure when these switch twos were stolen, of whether they actually were stolen in this Arapapo County, this town of Bennett in Colorado, or someplace else the truck stopped.

But if the guy was actually doing a pre-trip inspection, then that's where they would have been stolen, right? I don't know. I'm just asking questions. That's all. I'm just asking questions. You're not going to catch me with one of those damn stolen switch twos. I'll tell you that tomorrow, the next day.

Maybe Monday. Yeah, because today, if you're listing live, is the 20th of June, 2025. First day of summer. The longest day of the year. Happy summer. Yeah. And yes, we're many states now, thanks to climate change, we will be living in the fires of hell. So I've been telling you that I've been watching the Animal Kingdom on Netflix.

And I said that it was an FX show. I guess it was a TNT series. not an FX show, so I want to apologize for that. It back off me. And it premiered in 2016, and Ellen Barkin plays Smurf. And I'm just fascinated by it. And in fact, this Switch 2 heist

would be a heist that the Animal Kingdom family would do, although they preferred to get cash, because they had cash and jewels, because it was easier to get rid of. Avocados from Mexico. I don't know that they would ever heist avocados from Mexico, But, you know, they would maybe heist switch twos from wherever those are coming from. Anyway, I didn't know that the family, the way Animal Kingdom is set up with Ellen Barkin,

and I think two of them are her kids and the other two are adopted, the other two or three are adopted. But the show is based on a real-life crime family in Australia. I like it. Now apparently, as I was reading more about the behind the scenes of Animal Kingdom and what the show is based on, is that the 2010 movie out of Australia, Animal Kingdom, was the precursor to the 2016 series on TNT. I went and looked at the trailer.

I don't remember this movie, Animal Kingdom from 2010. So I'm going to be watching that this weekend as well. We're going to watch the original, and I'll get back to the series. of Animal King because I'm like on season three or whatever and I've got to make some going to make some moves this weekend. It's been a busy week.

Haven't had a lot of time. Haven't had a lot of time. We had, you know, earlier in the week, we had hockey at night. So that's over. The NHL, Stanley Cup is over. Florida Panthers. Congratulations.

I've had basketball. This weekend will be the Indiana Pacers won last night. So we go to game seven, baby, of the NBA finals, which will take place Sunday night. uh in Oklahoma City. I didn't think Indiana had it in them, uh, to win this when we talked yesterday. And the more I thought about it, the more I thought, you know, they're probably going to

win and take it to a game seven because I don't see Oklahoma City wanting to hoist the trophy in Indianapolis. They want to win that thing at home. So I'm not saying, I'm not saying they, they caved. I'm not saying that they lost the game on purpose. I'm just saying that perhaps they didn't give it their all. Don't look at me. I know, I know.

Of course they did. Of course they did. I don't know what I'm talking about. They just got their ass kicked for some unknown reason. But we go to game seven. And Oakland's been, I don't know, a couple of centuries

since they've lost two games in a row. And so it's going to take a mighty, mighty, game plan from Indiana to defeat Oklahoma City in Oklahoma City on Game 7 after beating them the last game. So congratulations to Indiana, the tying up the series, and we go to Game 7, which I'm excited about. The games have been great. Indiana looked awesome last night, and Oklahoma City did not look good at all. Huh, but they'll probably look great on Sunday night when they defeat Indiana for the NBA championship. I don't want them to. I mean,

I mean, I would, I was, I've been ruining for Indiana, but both teams have been so good, and they're so fast and so good. And SGA, oh my gosh, that guy from Oklahoma City, I don't know that he misses. I don't know that he misses. I mean, I've seen Tyrese Halliburton from Indiana. He misses. He makes a lot of them, and he passes, and he runs that offense great, and I love Tyrese. But SGA, man, I don't know that guy misses.

Every time I see him, wherever he's at at the court, and it just goes in. Oh, okay. All right. Maybe that's why he's the MVP. of the league. Anyway, anyway, so we have game seven Sunday night.

So between now and Sunday night, I've got some Animal Kingdom to watch. Don't worry about it. Saturday morning live will be in there too. It's okay. Calm down, relax. It's all right. Saturday morning live will still be there this weekend on Saturday morning

live at 9am with myself, Brad Staggs and you can watch that and listen on X at Jeffrey JFR. It's the only place you need to care about. All right, let's go to the break room. I know a lot of you were asking,

you know, I don't, I have not set up a TikTok yet. We just got another pass from Donald Trump. So they get another 90 days without having actual American ownership still owned by those damn Chinese. And we can't have that. Unless we just extend it for another 90 days. And we'll try to figure it out.

So you can still do your TikToks. And I really, I'm really mad at myself for not having my own ASMR channel on TikTok Just the the Tonight We're crinkling plastic with pills in it Tomorrow we'll be crinkling paper Oh relaxes close your eyes

And think good thoughts You're listening to Jeffie ASMR Is it ASMR? AMR? AmSR? ASMR, yeah, ASMR. I watched a couple of those channels. And they're just right, people are giving them money left and right.

And they're just dangling money. I can raise some money on my Jeffrey. I can put on, it's like a silver wig and just do an ASMR channel. I know, I know. I know. I'm mad at myself for not doing it. But you can't because TikTok is still available for the next 90 days. All right, let's go to the break room.

I need something cold to drink desperately. So we know who Cynthia Nixon is, right? The actress from Sex and the City. And she now, you know, since she's become a star from that store, she ran for mayor, I think, or governor or something like that in New York. Obviously, she didn't win. And she's, you know, she's become an activist who makes,

I don't know how much money she still makes from Sex and the City. I'm sure it's probably a pretty penny that keeps her afloat. But her child, is a little confused. Okay, so she has a trans son. So that's a biological female who believes that she's a boy and wants people to recognize that she's a boy.

She's also an observant Jew, but she's for Palestine. So she's advocating for Jewish voices for peace which calls itself a Jewish anti-Zionist group standing in solidarity with Palestine. So the kid is confused, de Sef Moses. I mean, we don't know, it's a female, it's a male, I'm a Jew, I'm a Palestinian, I'm an Arab,

what are we doing? We don't know what's going on. So apparently they've got a, she, he is an alum of the university, of Chicago and they've got a big protest going on now and Moses, Seth, right, Seth Moses, yes, is the daughter son, is having part of a hunger strike

and I don't know how long the hunger strike is going to be I don't know how long, you know, what happens when the hunger strike ends or what they hope to end, if they hope to end the war in Gaza, good luck with that because Israel's always taking care of Iran on the other side and now we're still concerned about Gaza. So according to Cynthia, Moses, Seth Moses, is a smart person with his ear to the ground.

Yeah, okay. All right. And Cynthia would know because she remember she went on that hunger strike way back in 2023. Yeah, that's right. She was pissed at the Israelis again. She doesn't like Jews, but the daughter is, but she's Jewish. The whole family is screwed up.

I just don't understand. So she was part of this strike in Washington, D.C., outside the White House. They were doing a hunger strike each day from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day. They were going to do it Monday through Friday. And she, Cynthia, believed so much in the cause that she joined them for two days. Two of the five days. Huh? I know.

I know. That's how much she's yes. Thank you. That's how much she believes in the Palestinian cause of not getting killed by those damn Jews. And that's how much she's for it. I was just these people, these people. And they're breeding. And she has a daughter who now thinks she's a son who now claims that they're practicing Jew,

but they're for the Palestinians. what it's agonizing you know who's in trouble now fat joe do you know who fat joe is i mean he's a rapper and he's uh you know every time i every time i turn on some uh pay-per-view m-ma social media fight that i'm forced to watch because my son wants to watch him and i enjoy the i enjoy the fun of him uh who's there fat joe i'm like who the hell fat joe he's always showing up every time i turn around there's a fat joe well anyway he's in trouble he's been accused of coercive labor exploitation, financial fraud, sexual manipulation, violent intimidation, and psychological coercion. Oh, okay.

So his former hype man, employee Terence T.A. Dixon, is also reportedly alleging that the rapper, real name, Joseph Antonio Cartagnia, right? Cartagnia, built his empire. while deliberately suppressing, silencing, and erasing Dixon's substantial, creative, and commercial contributions. That bastard didn't give me anything for my ideas. He took them all. He took them all. And he seeks $20 million in damages. Fat Joe has $20 million.

I am definitely doing something wrong, man. Holy cow. So the 157-page filing reportedly contains so many. any disturbing claims of sexual violence, including with minors, that it has a trigger warning on the first page. Dixon suggests that Fat Joe forced him into humiliating situations, including sex acts, performed under duress and surveillance, accompanied by threats of abandonment in foreign countries if he refused compliance. That's not funny. I'm not laughing. Okay, so over time, he had to be a lot of,

estimates that he was coerced into more than 4,000 sexual acts to maintain his standing within the enterprise. Yeah, Did he, you got nothing on Fat Joe, okay? Nothing on Fat Joe. Now, that's incredible to me. So Fat Joe, good for him. I mean, if he's got 20 million to be sued for, good for Fat Joe. He's traveling the world and he's, you know, using his people to do people. Now, they, of course, vehemently deny any of these accusations. And so we'll see how, we'll see what happens here in the end. But according to the lawsuit, he, this, Dickson personally witnessed Fat Joe engage in these sexual relations with 15, 16, 16. children, a 16-year-old girl who in exchange for cash, closing on payment of her cell phone bill,

performed acts. The defendant paid for her to get a Brazilian butt lift and a third 50-year-old who was allegedly in love with. I mean, it's just Pat Joe says, now this is all BS. It's just ridiculous. So we'll see what happens. We'll see if he settles. And, you know, maybe the insurance company says, look, give.

this former hype man five million make him go away maybe that could happen uh or they you know he vehemently denies it and says he's going to fight it and this is ridiculous there's no there's no absolutely no proof to any of this we're going to take this to court and then then we'll have we'll have fun because now we're going now we're going to try Lean back. Lean back. Come on. I said my nuts.

Don't dance. He just pull up a pants. This Fat Joe. No wonder he's got 20 million. This is Fat Joe. Everybody knows this. I'm Fat Joe. All to the easy.

Into the whizzy. My own state reason. All right. All right. I mean, that song right there. I came out in 2004. So he's been traveling the world since then as Fat Joe superstar. with his hype man doing all this stuff?

I don't know. He's been affiliated with a lot of big names. A lot of big name people. Last year he partnered with a bunch of acts for health care for people. And like I said, every time I'm forced to watch one of the Internet Star boxing matches, you know, he's always there. Fat Joe is always there. Probably because you can't get rid of him.

But if some of these allegations are true, now I know why he was there. But, you know, if they're not true, then it is just a hype man trying to get his pay. He's pissed that Pat Joe didn't give him his due. That's probably what this all boils down to. Yeah, so whatever, whatever. Good luck, Fat Joe. I hope the allegations pressed against you are false. Because if they're not false, you deserve to spend a long time in prison.

my friend. Yeah, maybe he and Diddy can share a cell. They can talk about the good times in the best. Yeah. Remember that one? They don't remember diddley crap about any of these girls or men or boys or any. I don't remember any of it. I mean, that's just a wasteland of time, man.

Just high on drugs and doing what you're doing. If any of it actually happened. Because, I mean, I'm sure. I am sure that none of it actually happened. Uh-huh. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So, no, you can't get a nice rink on Uber Eats.

Well, we don't know their names, but we know that three people have died and 17 people have been sicked. 16 have been hospitalized from ready to eat meals sold at Kroger and Walmart. What we do know is they have been recalled now. This fresh realm

chicken products sold at the major grocery retailers tied to a deadly Listeria outbreak. Yeah. Some ready to eat meals sold at Walmart and Groger being recalled after multiple deaths. A dozen

illnesses reported across 13 states due to Listeria according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's food safety and inspection service. Fresh Realm in San Clemente, California. Love them.

And Montezuma, Georgia, and Indianapolis. Yeah, love them too. All those three, all three places of fresh realm. Good for them. Except, it's not good for them right now. They're recalling their certain chicken fetuccini Elfrido products that may contain an outbreak strain of the Listeria. So if you have any fresh realm

chicken Fetuccine Alfredo ready to eat meals that you purchase that could

happen that could be you at any point in time so they were shipped across America to Kroger and Walmart

retail locations so be careful out there pretty incredible I mean 17 people sick which really isn't

that much you know but three people dying, three people dying, and 16 of the 17 were hospitalized. And one of the deaths was a little baby in the womb. Oh, honey, no, honey no. I mean, very, very sad. So, I mean, we had, don't eat them.

Whatever you do, don't eat them, okay? When you see First Realm, and I know First Realm will say, it's just particular packaging and products. Okay, you got it. That's what it is. No problem. You're right. I'm not choosing to purchase that product, though, okay?

And in fact, the products that I have in my freezer, I want my money back for, okay? No, I don't want a replacement from Fresh Realm. I'll spend it on something else. But that's just me. I'm not telling you to do that at all. I'm not telling you to do that at all. Okay, then let's move on to another, well,

it's not really who, but what died. So the 400-foot starship rocket down in South Texas, late Wednesday night, decided that during, it was going to have an anomaly. Yeah, it was just going to, it was a complete, they were completing a single-engine static fire, The vehicle was in the process of loading cryogenic propellant for a six-engine static fire when a sudden energetic event resulted in the complete loss of starship

and damage to the, I mean the explosion was incredible. Damaged was around the immediate area surrounding the stand. It ignited several fires at the test site, which remains clear of personnel. And everyone was safe. and they're you know they've taken care of the safing area and everybody wants to come in and inspect everything but everything was fine it was

just everything was fine except for the rocket and the people that were filming it pretty incredible and the footage is amazing here watch that's not the oh

my god yeah uh rest in peace to uh starship uh rocket there down in south Texas. He was still, Elon was still launching satellites up into space from Florida. But the starship here

on SpaceX has taken a little beating. And these are the rockets that are supposed to get us to Mars. Ouch. I feel like there's going to be a delay. So, you know, there's going to be a slight delay because, you know, when we had this, what do we call? this, an anomaly happened.

And there's been several anomalies that seem to be pushing a delay for a, the Mars trip. And some people believe that we're never going to go to Mars. Those people are so dumb. I mean, there's only so many rapid unscheduled disassemblies that you can have before you start having big time setbacks. Now the one before, this one, when that took off and it blew up in the sky, that was where they had the rapid unscheduled disassembly, right?

So this one, the anomaly during the test was the sudden energetic event resulting in the complete loss of starship and damage to the immediate area. So that's their words, not mine. I'm just passing it along. So if you still think we're never going to go to Mars, you're the one that's dumb, okay? You know, this actually is good news. According to Cash Patel, who is the FBI director, he says that the U.S. is on track

to have the lowest murder rate ever this year. Yeah. The current record low occurred in 2014, when the FBI reported a murder rate of 4.45 per 100,000. Yeah, you know, and I think I remember that. I'd like to go back and I think they changed some of the way they tallied those numbers, but whatever, I digress. Now, the question is why?

Okay, so they claim that it's probably because Trump is deporting all the illegal aliens. Uh, yeah. And according to Patel, that lets good cops be cops. Oh, okay. I'm going to let you, you know, the agents of believe. office and chairs go out and do their work. Yes, I agree with that. But I'm sure that not having the illegal aliens in this country,

the criminal illegal aliens. Now, that's funny because no matter what kind of illegal alien you are, if you're in this country illegally, you're an illegal alien. Well, they've been here a long time, Jeff.

okay, because I thought it was over. I thought it was done. But that's just one part of the case, like that's the Blake. lively return case. I was looking at trying to figure out exactly what's happening. So they now, this is a civil trial that is still ongoing between Jason and Blake and he has now been granted the right to get the text messages between Blake and Taylor Swift,

only text messages that are specific about the movie and the song from the movie, okay? now the movie is you know it ends with us so I but the one that was over is I think Blake against Justin so and then there's a criminal case that I think is over but this is a civil case that's still ongoing it's been just I it's just a nightmare with these two I tell you I've just had enough I've had enough of these of these nightmares okay I know look the only reason I really care is just because well Blake continues to see you. stare at me and it's a little embarrassing for her the way she looks at me. You know

that. I mean, we've talked about that before. You can see it. She doesn't hide it. So I guess it's never going to be ending. It's never going to be, you know, we're never going to be done with it. Then, you know, we have the Minnesota murders still intact. What's happened to that? Is that we didn't even care about that anymore?

Is that just something that we forget about? Okay. All right, sure. Sure. Sure. I'll just forget about him. I know you arrested him. And two people are dead and two people were injured and he's a crazy lunatic that you want to continue to say as a MAGA guy

and we'll just forget all about it. Okay? Okay. Sure. Sure. You got it. And I've been questioning if you follow me on X at Jeffrey JFR. I talked about not being able to go to Sudan for the summer because they're fighting. And then I wasn't able to go to Lebanon because they're fighting in Lebanon.

It looks like now I'll be able to go to the DRC. And maybe Rwanda for the summer. Because Rwanda and the DRC have agreed this week on a draft agreement to end in fighting in Eastern DRC, which is where we summer is in Eastern DRC. So the deal is mediated by the U.S. and Qatar. Think of that. This happened this week.

What's happened this week? the president is dealing with what what's going on in the world and he's still dealing with fighting in the DRC? Yes, that's what's happening. It's incredible. So they're going to sign it at the White House or in Washington, D.C.

Next week, I don't know if they're going to let them into the White House. Maybe Trump's there. Maybe they'll let them stop in. So the two countries have engaged in decades of Klanflict. Yeah, I mean, it's been ugly. Sometimes we've had to cut our vacation short in the DRC because those damn Rwanda.

and we just had to get out of there. So the conflict since an estimated two million hoodies fled to Eastern DRC following the 1994 Rwanda genocide. Who can forget that? And the rise of the Tutsi government, who can forget that? So the most recent flare-up centers on the M23 and the Congolese rebel group, hate them, widely believed to be backed by Rwanda. The group captured two cities this year.

Yeah, we did talk about that. Gombeau and January and Bukavu in February, 7,000 people, 7,000 have been killed, more than 7 million displaced in the latest bout of conflict. 6 million people have been killed since the 90s. Wow. Now, why would you think? Just between you and me. And you've summered there like me.

You've gone to DRC in Rwanda for the summer. And, you know, just how beautiful the sunrises and sunsets are in eastern. DRC. Anyway, the deal, why would you think that we would be, we would care about pursuing a deal, making Rwanda and the DRC, you know, stop fighting.

We know, I want you guys to get along. I know you don't like each other, but get along, you know. Take it easy. Stop killing people because, man, we got to get to some of those rare earths. And you got, you guys got some rare earths that we need.

And we don't want those damn Chinese coming in here. So you need to batten down the hatches a little bit. And we need to be able to vacation back into Eastern DRC again. Okay? Okay, good. What we really need, and I want

to go to a new place for vacation, but I can't afford it unless I win the lotto. And I haven't looked at the lotto in quite a while, so I went to look to see if the lotto if I need to play. Okay, so tomorrow the power ball is worth $118 million. Eh, you know, 53.4 cash out. Is it worth playing a ticket? Maybe. Now, I thought there were going to be a bunch of new winners

with this new mega millions. They charge it five bucks a pop now. And every ticket is, you know, worth all this extra money. There's more winners. Okay. Sure. I believe you. But now the jackpot is tonight, 620, 2025 at 11 p.m. Eastern is when they draw the numbers for the megamillions. than $2 million. Okay, that's $136.0 million cash payout after taxes. Looking at $60 million. I'm okay. Listen, I'm putting my feet up in Eastern DRC if I hit that bad boy.

Don't you worry about it. Investing in a little rare earths from the DRC. Where are you from, Rwanda? Yeah, no, we can't talk to you. No, no, no. We are vacationing over here now, okay? Congolese? Yeah, no, we don't.

Do I am I supposed to like those people? Yeah, you know, I might, don't make me go to Sudan. Don't make me vacation in Sudan, okay? I was just incredible. Just incredible. All right, let's get out of here. I'll leave you with a joke of the day. It's been a long week.

I know you don't care. It's been a long week for you too. And I thank you for listening to the show very much. It means a lot to me. But I know it's been a long week for me. It's been a long week for you. So just take this joke with you. A joke of the day.

Take it with you for the weekend. This one from William, sent to chewing the fat at the blaze.com. One day, Grandpa was sitting, I feel like I've told this joke before now. Now that I'm saying out loud, I feel like I've told it before. So if I've told you this joke before, you know, laugh again. Get over it. This one from William, okay? One day, Grandpa was sitting in his favorite chair drinking a beer.

That's what Grandpa's do, sitting there rocket chairs and drink beer. The police show up at his door with a picture of Grandma and asked, excuse me, is this your wife, sir? He looks at the picture and says, yes. And the policeman answers, I'm afraid it looks like she's been hit by a bus. Grandpa says, I know, but she's got a lovely personality. See, because you get it.
