I want you to try something for me. Miss a hundred meetings at work, and I guess you can still consider yourself having a job, and then ask people to understand, hey, I'm sorry, you know I missed all this time, but my doctors continue to assure me that my recovery will be complete and that I will be back to the job I love very soon.

I expect to return to a full schedule and be 100%. I take my responsibilities seriously and have a strong record of showing up and delivering, which you obviously don't since you missed 100 meetings, which makes this absence all the more difficult. Does it? Well, please vote for me. That's what Thomas Keene wants you to do in New Jersey. He missed 100 votes.

And he's saying that, hey, my doctor shows me, he just disappeared, by the way. No one knew what was happening. They couldn't find him. They couldn't reach him. Finally, he reappeared and said, yeah, I'm, I've got a medical issue, and I'm trying to get back to full schedule. And I'm running for office again, so vote for me. Okay, good luck. You try that.

You try that, please, at your work. Miss 100 meetings and then tell them, yeah, man, I have a strong, strong. what was his personal line? I want to make sure that I have it right is I have a strong record of showing up and delivering. Uh-huh. Good luck with that.

Welcome. He's still in office and wants you to vote again. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Fat 5 Plus. I don't know that I want this, but it may or may not be a good idea. Spotify has now

they want to be your home for everything audio-related. And the company announced that it's bringing narrated long-form magazine articles to its app. The articles will be available to premium subscribers as part of their 15 hours of audiobook listening time per month. Free users can opt to purchase standalone articles for 199. The streaming service said that so it's already started by the, way. They will offer over 650 long-form magazine articles available in English only from publications like Rolling Stone, the Atlantic, Vogue, Variety, Bileboard, Vibe, GQ, Wired, Vanity, Vanity Fair, the pitchfork. Spotify says the articles were produced in-house by its audio books teams

and compliment Spotify's existing audio offerings like podcasts. I would like to go ahead and read some books for Spotify if they need the help? Well, look, they're going to be narrated with the mix of human and digital voice narration. And that portion of the article is using digital voice narration will be clearly labeled for users. I guess, I don't know. I just doesn't seem like something I would do, but, you know, I listen to podcasts all the time. So why not? Why not? Do I want to listen to the audio of an article? Sure, go ahead and read it to me, but I don't have, what, what would I be? I guess I, you know, I'm multitasking so I could be doing something else while the article is being read to me.

But I'd rather just read the article myself. Maybe it's just me. And Pornhub in the news again. Yeah, Pornhub is now creating Pornhub. Saffick. I think that's right. Saffick. S-A-P-P-H-I-C

SAFIC Yeah, that's what I thought I appreciate you coming in and working today Sapphic Yeah, I mean, I appreciate it, I got it, Sapphic, okay, I got it The site, anyway, thank you,

I appreciate it, take care The site, the site, She's gone, Sapphic, a site dedicated to lesbian content created in direct response to feedback from lesbian,

queer and straight women. I guess it just wasn't enough to go to porn hub and look around. No, women loving women now have their own dedicated site on Pornhub. Today, they're launching, she gone? Sapphic, space dedicated to this non-binary content. Pornhub gay has been around for a while, so it's about time that Sapphics, which include lesbians, bisexual women, and typically any non-man who loves non-men have a site of their own.

That's fantastic. So good for, good for you. If you wanted your own little lesbian site there, I'm sorry, your own little sat. She's gone, yeah, her own little sapphic site. Because women watch lesbian content on porn up too. And so in 2022, lesbian was by far, women's favorite category on the site, and women watched scissoring content, 155% more than men.

Last year, lesbian was the most viewed video category overall. Searches for scissoring, lesbian, milf, and strap-od content so there you have it. Go ahead and enjoy the Sapphic on Pornhub. with Bornhub along with, yeah, you know what I mean. Speaking of Spotify, I see where Jay Shetty, Jay Shetty, signed a multi-year, $100 million deal with Netflix and Spotify,

to bring a video version of his self-help podcast to the platforms exclusively. Because he was already doing that. I mean, I watch this stuff on YouTube and Instagram, so maybe you'll get clips from now on promoting his show, but if you want to watch the full show, you'll watch it on Netflix and Spotify exclusively. I love Jay.

Sometimes, I mean, he's a, I love the idea of what Jay talks about, really. I believe that he's a good man. And he, you know, the ex, the former monk, he became a monk, and then he came back and wrote his book about being a monk, which was fascinating to me. Man, he also, you know, and he interviews, you know, all kinds of people on his show.

But well worth the money, I believe. But a $100 million deal. Congratulations to Jay Shetty for that. I would like to say to Netflix and Spotify, Two In the Fat is here, and that's a Fat 5 plus or Two in the Fat. And we can, you know, discuss what you need and all that stuff. And we can do that, you know, just email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. And we can, you know, figure that out.

I see where James Murdoch, the son of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, remember he supposedly Roman Roy was supposed to be based on James, if you watch Succession at all on HBO. And you know what? I just went back, a little sidetrack here, I just went back and watched the final show of season two.

And that is such a great episode. That's one of my favorite TV episodes of all time. Holy cow. That season finale of season two was awesome. I think it's episode 10 But it's whatever the final show is of season 2 It is awesome It is so good anyway

I see where James Murdoch You know Roman Roy Bought Vox Media's New York Magazine podcast network And much more in a deal reportedly worth over $300 million So he bought Vox Media's New York Magazine,

Podcast Network, and more. Interesting. Interesting. I wonder if it says what the more is. I guess the more would be just all of Vox, because that's what it was. He bought New York Magazine, the Vox Media Podcast Network, and Vox.

So Vox Media CEO Jim Bankoff will also join. Oh, he will. He didn't lose it. his job. Wow. He's going to run New York and Vox within the new company, which will take the name Vox Media. Well, that's kind of dumb. Well, maybe you just live off the brand that you've already done. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The value is more than $300 million. So maybe

Bankoff helped Murdoch get the deal done. So as part of the deal, you get to stick around. Let's see, they have the sub-brands, though, of the cut, the vulture, Intelligencer, the strategist, curved, curb street, grub street, as well as Vox.com. And so there's a lot of stuff that is going to be done. I would like, let's say the podcast network includes shows like Pivot with Kara Swisher, Scott Galloway, Criminal, and Where Should We Begin? And it should also be chewing the fat.

It does not have that. So, I mean, it could, you know, James. I mean, if you're looking for, you know, new content for your Vox Media Group, you know, I'm here for you. You can email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. So I was kind of perusing an article that talked about why we're having rising meat prices, which I'm going to, you know, on the way home today, I was planning on maybe stopping and getting a you know a nice big steak. I want a steak so bad. And you know what else I want?

I want Kogel's hot dogs from Michigan. But that's just me. I haven't ordered any. You can just say, Jeff, why don't you order some Kogel hot dogs? I know. I haven't had hot dogs in a long time. And it's just something that meant if Kogel,

here's the deal. If Kogel hot dogs just showed up, you know, at my door, I would have to open them. and cook them and eat them. But I don't want to order them because I'm going to order like instead of order just a couple of packages, I probably can't sit down and order just a couple packages. It's like I'm going to sit down and say, well, I need a 10 pound package.

My father used to bring home 10 pound boxes from the warehouse. So man, I could use some goggles. But right now I'm really hungry for a great big steak. Well, according to this, Rising Beavis, prices. Holy cow. The Lone Star State, especially in Texas, are shuddering. A lot of a lot of barbecue places closing their doors squeezed by skyrocketing cost of brisket. Yeah. Droughts have been reducing the U.S. cattle herd to its smallest size in 75 years. And tariffs on imported beef have been blamed for the Texas Barbecue Crown Jewel starting to cost as much.

as actual gems. The retail price of the cut was up 32% this month from last year. So those rising beef costs are reducing brisket margins, creating an existential crisis for the purveyors of the state's signature smoky treat. Obviously, this is a pro-Texis article. Higher costs were partially responsible for the recent closure of Kirby's Barbecue, a Houston area destination for oak-smoked brisket. They also claimed staple spots Brett's Barbecue shop and Sabar Barbecue. The award-women barbecue restaurant, Burnt Bean Company, told the Washington Post that it's in survival mode. Despite lines out the door, it's considering serving brisket only once a week. One Texan pitmaster said he worries the beef crunch will reduce the regional variety of the state's brisket scene.

The U.S. Justice Department and Texas are investigating four meatpacking giants, which control 85% of the U.S. beef market over allegations of anti-competitive practices that hurt ranchers and retailers. So, okay, but here's the thing. I don't want brisket. I just want a steak, which has been really expensive lately as well. Beef prices overall. This article is talking about rising Starts off with rising bee prices And then specifically talks about brisket

But, you know, beef prices have been Well, everything's been pretty high as of late But we don't want around to have nukes So why don't you just shut up I mean, you don't have to shut up I'll shut up Now you don't have to No, no, no, you don't have to

You can say whatever you want Gas prices are down I mean they were still They were, you know, in the $3.70 range. But they're down. The prices are down. So I'll be the one to shut up, not you, about talking about, you know, high prices on everything.

See, yeah, there's another issue with some scheduling

And, you know, listen to his cute little thing he does every day. the daily mojo.com. That's what it is. Yeah, that's what it is.

I do that specifically for him, just to make him mad. Okay, so here's the deal. On Saturday morning live, I don't do What's the Lie any longer on this show. And I was thinking about what's the lie, and I was getting nostalgic for What's the Lie yesterday. And so I got to thinking, well, maybe I could just put four questions together. You know, three will be true.

One will be a lie. And I'll just tell you what they are. And then I'll tell you the answer tomorrow on Saturday morning live. So you can just, you know, listen to the show today or tonight or in the morning before Saturday morning live. And then you can think about it. And you can see if you were right. Because, you know, some of you will be right and some of you will be wrong. But, you know, I don't have a specific, you know,

specific contestant. So four questions. One not real. What is the lie? Number one, NICS blowout prompts NYC bar to slash tabs by 37%. We took one for the team. Headline number two.

California's last surviving bubble house is for sale. Headline number three, you can actually win FIFA World Cup final tickets in David Buster's Crane Game. Headline number four, new study finds trees can have allergies too. Those are your four headlines. What is the lie?

Now here's the thing. Don't look it up, okay? Don't look it up. Because if you look it up, then you spoil, you ruin all the fun. So do you still have Roku on any of your TVs, or maybe the Roku plug-in? I know we still have a couple of TVs that, you know, turn on with the Roku.

And now, apparently, Roku is going to have a new dynamic home screen revamp. If you're still, you know, Roku is, it's different from the other 12 apps on your TV. It's also whether, it's really just a home app for us on our TVs. You open it up and there's, now it shows you all the other apps that you can open up on your Roku screen. Well, the streaming service, which reaches over 100 million house. I was just my wife just the other night was going on let's see what's on Roku and I thought oh okay sure You go ahead because I'm going to be in the other room

But and I didn't hear anything back so I'm not sure that anything made the cut but it reaches over a hundred million households It's announced its first design revamp in a decade among other new features the change introduces a Roku home screen that shifts throughout the day, powered by AI-driven personalization for Roku TVs and the streaming devices. So the company also introduced new ad slots on the home screen, and apparently ad money accounted for most of the $4.7 billion in revenue that Roku brought in last year. Roku brought in $4.7 billion. You and me are doing something wrong. That is for sure.

If Roku can bring in almost $5 billion, good for them. Good for them. Here's another interesting little poll that I've... Okay, if you say so, a new study has showed that movies are more likely to start... Well, this is kind of like a questionnaire. This is almost a fat five, only it's a fat three. A new study showed that movies, and it's based on one question, It's completely different than the what's the lie.

I do not what not a fat five, but what's the lie. A new study showed that movies are more likely to star this than a woman over 60, multiple choice. A, a man named Chris, B, a talking animal, or C, all of the above. And I chose all of the above. And guess what? I was right, along with 73% of the other people who took the quiz. study by age without limits looked at the 100 highest performing films in the last three years and found only five movies starring older women made the list.

Okay. Okay. I guess that's true. I feel like there's more women that are older making movies, but maybe they're not over 60. And once they hit the 60 mark, you know, have a nice day. I don't mean that. I'm just saying Hollywood means that. And so if you're making, you know, an indie movie, use some older people, okay?

Do that. Yeah. Make an indie movie that is, you know, with an older woman that's over 60. See if it does a show. as good as the obsession movie that is the indie movie made by YouTuber Curry Barker. I mean, his movie's made, what, 80 million so far? Going to make a lot more this weekend again.

And he had a budget of, what, a million bucks, $750,000, between $750,000 and a million dollars? Do that. Here's 750,000 from Jason Bloom at Bloom House, not me. and make yourself a movie and use women over 60. Get that done. See if you could make 80 million. Go ahead. Just see. See.

Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Barney Frank. You know, we never got to mention Barney Frank. He died last week. But I wanted to mention him. He deserves a mention. Former Democratic congressman,

he was the leading liberal. He brought new visibility to gay rights, crafted the most significant reforms to the financial system in a generation, has passed away at the age of 86. So his friend, his former campaign manager and close friend, said that he passed away. I just remember Frank as, I mean, And we saw the video of him not long ago where he had entered hospice because of congestive heart failure.

He did not look good. And, yeah, he did not look good. But he was one of those guys that fought for gay rights. And he was a long time gay. It took him a while to come out. And once he finally was out, he was out. And you can quote me on that. Once he was finally out, he was out.

So rest in peace to Barney Franks. and it's not Franks. It's Barney Frank. I'm still thinking about hot dogs. Dead at the age of 86. You know, you could make the joke that Barney was always thinking about hot dogs. Anyway, then we have Dennis Rush.

Dennis Rush, dead at the age of 74. After being diagnosed with leukemia, Rush was discovered by James Cagney. And who doesn't remember James Cagney? He appeared in a man of a thousand faces and eight episodes of the Andy Griffith Show. So, man, he was a television star. Rest and peace to Dennis Rush, dead at the age of 74.

Then we have Roger Sweet. Roger Sweet dead at the age of 91. Don't look at me like you don't know who Roger is. Roger is the creator of the He-Man action figure, which spawned the popular 80s cartoon series, he man and the masters of the universe. He passed away at the age of 91 with the Battle of Dementia. Man, I do not wish that on anyone.

He was the lead designer for Mattel's preliminary design department in the 70s and 80s. And then Mattel turned down a deal to produce toys for Star Wars, an offer that proved extremely lucrative for the Cincinnati-based Toymaker Kenner Project. after a new hope was released in 1977. Yeah, Mattel, they needed some new figures. So he was Roger Sweet, was in pursuit of a fresh idea.

And that's where he came up with He-Man. So rest in peace to Roger Sweet, dead at the age of 91. Then we have Clarence B. Jones, Clarence B. Jones, dead at the age of 95. Again, don't pretend like you don't know who Clarence B. Jones is. He helped MLK write, I have a dream speech. Duh. Rest in peace to Clarence B. Jones dead at the age of 95.

According to his family, until his final days that he believed an idea is more powerful than the march of any army. So rest in peace again to Clarence B. Jones dead at the age of 95. All right, let's get you out of here with the joke of the day. Well, I'm not going to get you out of here because I have something special for you at the end of today's show. But this is the joke of the day from my king of the dad jokes, 2026 calendar, 365 punniest pundiest joke. So today's joke of the day is, did you hear about the man who fell into the upholstery machine? He's fully recovered.

Get it? Because he fell into the, yeah, no, you got it. All right. So now I'm going to give you something special. So all the talk, the last couple of weeks, you know, it's been about this Ebola going on in the Congo and the DRC. and I guess there's, I don't know, 100 some deaths now. They expect that it's going to be a lot more deaths coming out of the DRC and the Congo. The head of the World Health Organization is heading over there now.

And I said there are 100 deaths. There's 121 have been confirmed Ebola. There's over 1,000 suspected 246. suspected death, 17 confirmed fatalities. Yeah, I mean, they know that they're all Ebola. And Ebola is as contagious even after you die, right, with the body fluids. But it's with body fluids, bodily fluids. It hasn't evolved into, you know, the whole, just in the, if I'm in the area of someone with Ebola, I don't catch Ebola. Now, we talked about it last week when it was first getting all fired up.

We were getting news about people in the DRC and getting Ebola. And so when Pat and I were filling in for Glenn on Glenn Beck Radio, we played the live-in-ebollah free song. And it has been in my head for a week, live-in Ebola-free. Don't touch others, poop and pee, unless of Ebola-free. and back away from that infected guy. It's been in my head. And you know what?

I want it to be in your head. So I'm going to share it with you. Deep away from eyes that bleed. Don't lick vomit off the street. And I know you don't want to die. So slowly back away from that infected guy. Stay an Ebola free Stay an Ebola free

Don't eat that raw meat and see We'll all be Ebola free Keep away from those sweaty sheets Keep away from discharge that secrete sand If you want to call me your fear Put down that glass of a glass of of diarrhea. Stay in Ebola free.

Stay an Ebola free. Don't touch others poop and pee and we'll be Ebola free. Just wash your hands and you will see we can be Ebola free. That's good advice and you're welcome. Thank you.
