And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
So it was just announced that Warren Buffett is donating $6 billion worth of his company stock to five foundations.
In total, since 2006, he's given like $60 billion to foundations.
Buffett said that the shares of Berkshire Hathaway will be delivered.
this week.
I mean, Berkshire Hathaway owns Geico and Dairy Queen and Heinz and these,
a couple of railroads.
They're donating nearly 12.4 million of Class B shares of his stock.
Okay, good for them.
The Class B, those are easier to digest price tag.
The company's Class A shares, you know,
the Class B shares are worth like $485 and 68 cents each.
So that's good.
So anyway, the largest part of this donation is going to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trutch,
which I thought he wasn't going to give them any more money.
It was a technicality.
He was not going to give them any more money after his death.
He's going to let the children run the foundations and they can decide where that money goes.
So Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gets 9.4 million shares.
The Susan Thompson Buffet Foundation will receive 943,384 shares.
The Sherwood Foundation, Howard G. Buffett Foundation.
I know it's the Buffett.
I got it, okay, but it was buffet was funny to me.
Amorph a fallacy.
Thank you.
And the Novo Foundation are all receiving shares.
It's funny, I don't see the Chewing the Fat Foundation on here or the Jeff Fisher Foundation.
but the Susan Thompson Buffet Foundation made it.
Okay.
All right.
I see how you are, Warren.
Okay.
Welcome.
Welcome to Chewing the Fat.
You hear that.
You know, it's breaking news here on Chewing the Fat.
We have a CTF breaking news sounder.
And the sounder is for, we have a verdict in the Sean Diddy Combs trial.
They sent him back last night.
They wanted to go home.
They're back.
We have our reporter Chris Cruz live on the scene, or at least you're on your way.
Hey, get out of my way.
I'm trying to drive here.
He's trying to make it to the Manhattan courtroom because we're going to 100 miles an hour right now on my Tesla.
I am trying to make it from Dallas to New York so I can be there for the verdict on count one, racketeering, conspiracy, count two,
Sex trafficking by force, fraud over coercion.
Count three, transportation to engage in prostitution.
Count four, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion,
and count five, transportation to engage in prostitution.
Now, since you've been up there covering this all week,
do we think that the verdict on all five counts are going to be guilty or not guilty?
My gut says guilty because if you listen to our man,
the black resident Jason Whitlock
Sean Diddy Combe stepped out of the plantation
and needed to be made an example.
Okay, this was a fast verdict on the East Coast.
They started deliberating at 9 o'clock this morning, East Coast time,
and they already have their verdict.
They said last night they were unpersuadable opinions.
So I feel like it's going to be not good.
guilty and we're going to turn not guilty because it has to be
unanimous correct yeah yes correct so I feel like it's going to be
not guilty and we're going to turn this thing upside down
I'm going to turn the New York court system upside down and Diddy Combs is going to
walk out today smiling chin to chin so what you're saying I remember we talked
about this or cheek to cheek or whatever you smile at to New York that if you
or Sean Dadey Combs, you will post bail and bounce up the country.
If he's found guilty in between the guilty charge and sentencing, if he were able to get bail,
I wouldn't advise him to leave the country. That would be wrong. But I would say that I could see that.
I could see that happening. I could definitely see that happening. Okay. Well, listen, get back on the road.
Or, I mean, you know, continue on the road, but speed up.
Speed up, drive faster.
My gosh, what are we doing?
Is it okay if I stop to watch the new Jurassic Park movie
and continue my way to New York?
No, it is not okay, no.
It is not okay.
I feel like you're going to do that.
I feel like you're going to do that anyway.
Yes, I'm still going to go ahead and watch Jurassic Park
the new movie in about 15 minutes.
Oh, yeah, you're going to be late.
You're going to be late for the verdict
to New York.
Gosh, darn it.
To give you the other point.
Hey, if you want, you could go right now to ABC News.
A very gorgeous woman is giving the...
You're breaking up.
You're breaking up.
We can't hear you.
Man, I wish we could talk some more
with our roving reporter Chris Cruz.
But, ooh, well, he's breaking up.
We lost the connection.
We'll have to get back to him.
So we'll have a verdict,
hopefully before the end of chewing the fat.
And we'll let you know what happens to Sean
Diddy Combs.
Okay, we're never going to, he's never going to be there on time, and we actually do have a
verdict now. So if, you know, he's not going to answer my call now anyway, because he's traveling
at a high rate of speed on the interstate, and he's going to the movies. So, you know, I really
do want to see Jurassic Park, too. But this was, I thought was more important, but apparently
not. So we do have a verdict in the Diddy trial. So on count one, the racketeering conspiracy
not guilty. Count two, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, not guilty.
Count three, transportation to engage in prostitution. Guilty.
Sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. Not guilty. Transprication to engage in prostitution.
Guilty. See, that's just silly to me. I know. Don't look at me like that. That's just silly.
he's a rich guy
he pays for prostitutes
and he's going to bring them where they're going to party
so he's not going to get the prostitutes
where he's going
uh it takes too much time i already i like these girls
i'm paying them they're coming with me it just doesn't
it's just just
just doesn't make any sense to me so all the experts
he's a dirt bag i know but to find him
to find him not guilty
of the sex trafficking
and yet guilty of the transportation to engage in prostitution.
That just seems weird.
Anyway, I guess, according to the experts, this still with the,
who's not guilty of the most serious charges,
well, they're still saying he could spend about 10 years in prison.
I'm feeling like that's a number of years.
Did he's, what, 55 now?
10 years is a long freaking time.
So, anyway, and I know, I know.
I don't feel, I know, I don't feel sorry for him.
I get it.
I got it.
Just, just let me breathe a little bit, okay?
Because I thought for sure he was going to be found out guilty on all of them.
And I was incorrect.
So I must not have heard all the information.
And I told you up front, I didn't hear all the,
all the information that went out in the courtroom.
So, you know, I did get to see all the drawings that the artist drew on some kind of paper
because they weren't, pictures weren't allowed to just silly.
What are we living in 1850?
No.
Anyway, anyway.
They were high-res drawings.
They were.
No, they were high-res drawings.
They were just still, I don't know, drawings.
And I like the drawings.
I mean, that's fine.
You want to sit in courtroom and draw pictures, fine.
But I'd like to see the actual video as well.
That's just me.
Anyway, Diddy Combs.
Guilty on two of the five.
And still will probably do some time in jail.
And he's been in jail all this time anyway.
Are we going to get a little time served benefit a little?
No?
Okay.
Plus, I really do love the fact that they went before the judge last night and said, yeah, we can.
We can't.
We can't do this.
And the judge said, yeah, yeah, you can't get back in there.
And they were like, okay.
And then they said, about 30 minutes later, yeah, we're going home.
Until they went home.
All right, and you can start again tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.
came back. All right, we got a verdict because the judge said, yeah, the time you spent
deliberating isn't long enough for these, for these charges. All right, we'll come back tomorrow
then. All right, we're ready to go. All right, you slept on it? We're good. Okay, we're ready to go.
It's just really weird. The whole thing is, the whole thing has been really, really strange.
And they are not staying in that jury pool over the fourth weekend. No, we are wrapping this thing
up.

I see the story this morning about a 19-year-old pilot who's flying around the world to raise money for cancer research.
Okay, I like that plan. And he's got, I don't know, over a million followers on Instagram.
He's probably got a few million on TikTok. I mean, it's social media, so he's bringing awareness.
to his flying around the world to bring awareness to cancer research.
He's a Chinese-American pilot, Ethan G-U-O, Guo,
Ethan, Guo, I believe that's how you say it,
or maybe it's just whoa.
I was trying to fly to all seven continents to raise a million dollars for cancer research.
He recently took off from Punta Arinas Airport in Chile
before modifying his flight plan without notifying the respective air traffic control centers
at the airport.
Everybody shot him down.
It's never good.
The General Dick Torrit of Civil Oronautics,
aeronautics, I love them, the DGAC,
said the unauthorized operation at the airfield in Antarctica
also implied noncompliance with the Antarctic statute.
Yeah, they just shoot you dead.
I didn't realize that Antarctica had the actual,
you land there and you have the Antarctica police,
and you're not supposed to land here.
We shoot you dead.
I'm amazed that he's still alive.
So he said I want to take advantage of every opportunity to raise awareness about
childhood cancer.
And I need to intensify research to find methods of prevention and treatment.
Okay, good for him.
So he was arrested.
And I was wondering, well, okay, so what happens?
All right, so they have the Antarctic police there.
And I guess it's the Chilean authorities.
I'm not sure who it is.
but they claim that now that he landed in Antarctica at the right at the airfield in Chilean Antarctic territory.
Okay, so he landed in Chilean Antarctic territory.
All bets are off.
Would you land there?
And apparently supposed to give monthly check-ins with officials,
but is authorized to leave Antarctica for Punta,
Arrinas if weather permit.
Okay.
So he has to remain in this region
because there's a hearing penciled in for July 11th
to determine the full outcome of this case.
So there's no word on the consequences.
According to this, the United States with the FAA
has the authority to find pilots up to a hundred
thousand dollars for violations against the aeronautical code as well as removing any permits.
So the aeronautical code say you can't land in Antarctica, especially the Chilean Antarctica.
Yeah, he's lucky to be alive.
He's lucky to be alive.
He would have brought more eyes on cancer and, of course, children's cancer research, if they
would have just landed and they would have said
you can't land here
it's over
see you later Ethan
I see Costco in the news
heavy now okay so first they tried to get some new
it's amazing how this works
okay so today we get
bad news about Costco
so that meant that yesterday
we needed to have a story about
this is the way corporations work and this is
kind of a good move on their part
they put out the
in the news
story, hey, we've got earlier opening hours for executive members, and we're kind of mirroring
Sam's club. Of course, Costco doesn't say that, but that says that in the article. And the early
access is a perk to add value to the membership club's top tier. You know, we're ready to go.
Our executive members make up more than 47% of Costco's paid memberships, but represent 73.1%
of sales. Wow. So Costco.
CFO said, yeah, we
got to turn this around.
We got to make this longer.
Let them get in here and do some business with us.
So it's good news.
Is it dumb?
Okay.
So do I get new benefits with my thing?
Warehouse is open at 9 for executive members.
You still scan your card at the open
to identify which membership level the member has.
So when you go and you scan,
if I'm there at 9 a.m.
and I don't have the executive card.
They shoot you dead.
You'd be stepping over bodies.
Yeah, you're done.
You're done.
Just that.
Oh, man, he didn't have a,
he didn't have a, got to have that executive branch.
Step over, move.
Could you get somebody to drag this guy out of the way?
I got to move my card in.
Yeah, that's happening.
So, according to Costco,
warehouse departments like pharmacy food court
will participate in the new hours,
except on Sundays when pharmacies are closed.
Yeah.
Nobody wants medications on Sunday.
That's stupid.
Anyway, the executive members are a $10 monthly credit on the same day of Costco via Instacart.
Yeah, Costco doesn't have a great website kind of thing.
Sam's Club actually does.
They don't have a bad website deal.
Costco really hasn't bought into the online thing.
It's really kind of strange.
I'm not quite sure I understand it.
I feel like they're losing a lot of money there.
I haven't been on a conference call with, you know, CFO,
Gary Milchip, but I would say that perhaps he needs to lean into that a little bit more at Costco
because I know of one member who would appreciate it.
And I'm sure there are many more, but I could name one.
You know, what's his name again?
Oh, yeah, me, Jeff Fisher.
I would appreciate that a lot.
But they didn't ask me.
So then today we get the news that they're being sued.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
They're being sued by Lulu Lemon.
So they're trying to,
Lulu Lemon is pissed at Costco.
They're saying that Costco is intentionally confusing shoppers
by slapping its Kirkland brand on clothes that are thinly veiled copies
of the much more expensive Lulu items.
Yeah, according to Costco,
the $20, or according to Lulu Lemon,
Costco's $20 high-tech men's scuba full zip is a copy of Lulu's scuba jackets,
which retail for over $100,
and Costco's $10 Kirkland five-pocket performance pants
are a duplicate of Lulu Lemons, $128 men's ABC5 pocket pants,
with at least one person, you know, I'm sure, according to this article,
somebody in your office is wearing it right now.
are they? Okay, okay.
I will say I went to the website
and I looked up the pictures
of what they're saying look the same.
They do not. If I was on the jury, they would
not win this case.
They do not. You know what it looks like?
It looks like a jacket
and a jacket.
And you know what the pants look like?
Pants and pants.
They look different.
I can tell the difference.
The Lululemon is more tapered.
The sleeves are a little bit different.
and the pants you can tell are
better, a designer,
more designer pantish
than the Costco pants.
And I mean, I am fashion,
so they probably don't want me on the jury.
But Costco would love to have me on the jury
because I would say, no,
they are not like you, Lou Lemon.
Sorry about it.
Yeah, no.
We're not doing this.
They don't look, they don't.
They're a shirt,
and pants.
That's the only thing
similar about them, okay?
So have a nice day.
Good luck, though.
Good luck.
They're just pissed.
Lulu Lemon is pissed
because all these creators,
these content creators,
are reviewing
cheap look-alike fashion brands.
And that's what they're doing.
The TikTokers are all,
oh, I got these at Costco for $20.
Don't they look like with the Lulu lemons?
No, not really.
but it kind of looks like them on you
and if you're comfortable with wearing them like that
good that's the point
but uh...
Lou Lemon doesn't like it but too bad
because other people get to make pants and shirts too
not just you and you can't quote me on that
another thing you can quote me on
is uh here at Blaze TV
we're officially calling this 4th of July
no Kings Day
because
uh that's
That's what the 4th of July really is.
It's not just about fireworks and cookouts,
although those are a big part of it.
It's a day that we told King George to beat it,

All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink desperately.
So I just saw announcement that NASA is going to start streaming rocket launches and spacewalks live on Netflix starting this summer.
So that's kind of cool.
Although I will say like SpaceX streams all of that stuff.
So I want to know the delineation between SpaceX and NASA because SpaceX streams that stuff on the SpaceX website and the SpaceX website.
and the SpaceX X accounts.
And so did they have the deal with NASA or does,
I mean, with Netflix?
Or does NASA specifically have a deal with Netflix?
And, you know, who's got interesting.
I'd like to, I want to find out who's getting a cut from some of that.
That's interesting because some of the NASA launches are with SpaceX.
So anyway, I just, you'll be able to stream them on Netflix.
I'm sure they'll figure it all out.
If they need help figuring it out,
they can just call me. It's fine.
They can email chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
I'm fine with that.
In fact, they can just reach out to me on X at Jeffrey JFR.
Maybe Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram and Facebook.
They can, you know, maybe if, you know, here you go,
if an astronaut wanted me to do a cameo for them
so they could air it, you know, up in space,
they could do that as well.
Just reach out to me at Jeffrey JFR on the cameo app.
I'd be happy to do it for you.
It's not free.
Hey, I'm going to charge you.
I know you're an astronaut and you get all your special stuff, but, you know, I do charge for my cameos.
But still worth every doggone nickel at Jeffrey JFR on the cameo app.
You can also subscribe to my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.
And you can email the show anytime chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
Chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
You can submit your jokes of the day.
You can submit yourself.
to be a contestant on what's the lie?
Or you can just, you know,
send your stories or questions or comments.
And if it's a question,
I may or may not answer it.
If it's a comment, I will see it.
I see them all.
I see all the comments and all the questions.
I choose not to answer some.
All right?
And if you ask me a question that I don't like,
I may not answer it.
But on the other hand,
I may.
So, you know, take a shot.
Chewing the fat at the blaze.
dot com. Also,
I've been a while
since I've been to the theater. I was trying to think when
the last time in the last movie I saw
at the theater was, but I will be seeing Jurassic
Park at some point in the next few days.
And
I don't know if I'm going to be seeing it at
an AMC theater, but I was looking at
AMC finally
bent the knee to commercials.
They made a deal with
National Cinnamedia.
So they're showing even more
ads before the movies.
And they were the last ones, the last holdouts.
So, and they were saying that, well, our competitors seem to be doing okay.
You just like showing more ads.
So we figured, why not?
We'll show more ads too.
Try to make us a little bit more money.
So if you're, if they say your movie starts at seven,
then you're probably not going to see the credits until like 725 or 730,
which is, that's a long time.
And I don't mind seeing the previews.
I'm all about commercials.
You know, that's what pays the bills.
I get it.
You know, I'm an old school radio guy.
I mean, we're here to fill time between commercials.
I got it.
But at some point, I got to be able to fast forward.
Or I got to be able to pay for a movie, you know, without commercials.
Maybe you sell an upgrade, an upgraded ticket to theater four.
And I can see the new released film.
I can walk in.
The movie starts at 7.
Sharp.
So that's what it starts.
And you paid extra money for the ticket.
And I get to walk in anytime I want, before 7.
But at 7, doors closed, movie starts.
And I pay extra for that.
I'm okay.
That's what happens, I don't know, at my home.
I get to start at when I want.
Anyway, it's just 30 minutes seems like a long time.
I know.
I mean, it's more time for me to spend, you know,
two million instead of $1 million on popcorn and Twizzlers.
I understand.
But it just seems like a long time.
And, uh, okay.
So, you know, yeah, Twizzlers.
Don't look at me like that.
I love Twizzlers, man.
I love, I, yes, here's a deal.
This is why they make $8 million at the, at the stand.
Cause yeah, I'll take one of each of those.
That's why you got to have a, you got to have a bag to bring in your own.
Uh, I'm not telling you to do that.
And, you know, heaven forbid you get caught.
They may shoot you dead.
In fact, that's kind of the theme of the show.
show today. If AMC sees you sneak it in Twizzlers or Sour Patch from your own purse,
yeah, you're dead. What happened? Try to sneak in some candy. Okay, no problem, but they step
over you and off you go. So there's a lot of places that just shoot you dead in this world.
I know. So follow the rules. Yeah, what happened? Oh, look at that. He tried to sneak in on his own
popcorn. It's falling out of his pocket right there. Anyway, holy cow. Yeah, I mean, good luck. So there
go. If you go to the AMC theaters anyway, just know
that it's going to take you at least 25 minutes, maybe 30
after the start time for the movie to
actually start.
You know what else drops today is Old Guard 2
on Netflix? I am looking forward to that so much. It should have been a series.
I am going to have to, every time I talk about Old Guard,
I holler at myself in my own head that I should
have actually written a series
from the first movie.
I should have just done it myself
because it should have already been done.
Now, they may,
when I show up with my old guard series scripts,
and they're going to say,
we don't own the rights to that,
and you have to go over there and talk to them for that,
and they may already be doing that
and kick your fat butt to the curb,
but it drives me insane that that show wasn't a series.
Now, I get, you know, I get now,
they've got movie two now,
we've got that, I know.
And I know, and it's probably going to be about the girlfriend,
who was, you know,
chained up in the iron coffin
and dropped to the bottom of the ocean,
guessing that she, you know,
it's going to be about her.
Think of that, okay?
And the old guard is about these people that can't die.
Well, they can eventually,
but they don't know when they can die,
and they're around for a long time.
Anyway, so this lady couldn't die, right?
And she's the girlfriend of our girl
that couldn't die,
but now is human.
she knows that her cuts don't heal
so she knows that she can die
and will die if she gets harmed enough.
Before, that's part of the old guard,
you get shot to death,
they come back to life.
So the girlfriend, during the witch days,
they put her in this iron coffin
and threw her in the ocean.
And so she, for years,
would drown,
wake up
I couldn't get out of the coffin and drown again
and then wake up
and then drown
and be dead again
I mean do that
I mean that's maddening right
so she's gonna
it's got to be about her coming back
and being out of her mind
got to be
of course now that I'm saying that
it probably isn't
because it makes too much sense
that that would be part of it
If it's not that, I'm going to be pissed.
But that drops today, and I'm going to watch that.
So it looks like, you know, maybe Jurassic tomorrow.
There will be a Chewing the Fat tomorrow.
Some shows are going to be on vacation for the holiday weekend starting tomorrow.
Not this one, my friends.
Not this one.
Chewing the Fat will have a live show.
Thank you.
Thank you very much tomorrow.
So I'll let you know how old guard two is tomorrow.
And I see unbelievable.
This is unbelievable to me.
Fast and Furious
Okay
Figure it's over
I mean how many
Fast and Furious
Does we have
80
85
So
And
And this
They're going to have
A new
Final installment
Of Fast and Furious
Right
They can't even do that
Welker's dead
He can't cough
I mean
It's set for April
of 2027
is the release date
And it's going to feature
Paul Welker.
I mean, maybe they just do flashbacks,
and I've been calling him Welker. I know it's Paul
Walker. Shut up. I don't care.
Okay. I honestly, I don't care.
I know he's dead, rest and peace.
But according to this,
so Fast and Furious
11,
is going to release in April of
27, according to Vin Diesel,
at Fuel Fest.
I missed him at Fuel Fest. Gosh, darn it.
So according to this, Brian O'Connor
returns and reunite.
with Dom, franchise heading back to L.A.,
return to car culture of street racing.
But it doesn't say how they're going to bring Walker back.
So is it going to be just AI?
And they're going to use from old movies and old sets
and old Fast and Furiouses?
I don't know. I don't know.
But hey, we can only just wait with bated breath for 2027
and Fast and Furious.
The final, what are they calling it, the final franchise?
The final installment.
Fast and Furious.
11.
When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners,
I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list?
Like this designer fragrance for my daughter.
At just $39.99, how could I resist?
This luxurious will throw for my sister.
This gold watch for my partner?
A wooden puzzle?
for my niece, leather gloves for my boss?
Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard?
At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners?
Stop wondering, start gifting.
Winners find fabulous for less.
Who died today?
Who died today?
Well, let's go with the Jimmy Swagger.
Jimmy Swagger has passed away at the age of 90.
Now, a couple weeks ago, he was in our, well, he's not dead yet.
file because they rushed
them to the hospital with a cardiac
arrest and the family was
like yeah he's probably
not going to make it.
Yeah, the family was concerned
about that and it finally did go to
that because
the son said without a miracle
his time is short and he's
had a miracle of a life. He lived to be 90
years old. I know he had a big
prostitution thing in the 80s
that kind of brought down the Jimmy
Swaggered ministry. Kind of the
Diddy.
I mean, yeah, he's kind of the Diddy of 88.
Jimmy Swagger.
I had the prostitution thing.
Bring him down.
Jimmy Swagger.
Diddy of 88.
That's his new moniker.
He's in the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
He's done shows for huge crowds.
And he was the leader behind the Sun Life Broadcasting Network.
Also pastor of the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge.
he was cousin to Jerry Lee Lewis, the killer, Jerry Lee Lewis.
I am personally a card carrying member of the Jerry Lewis fan club.
I love the killer, man.
And he is also a cousin to Mickey Gilly, who just died not too long ago, if I remember right?
Yeah, Mickey died in 2022, even farther away than I thought.
Anyway, so rest in peace.
to Jimmy Swaggart, the
Diddy of 1988.
Brought down by
prostitution dead at the age of 90.
And I guess the merger can go through now
because Paramount,
the parent company of CBS,
they have agreed to a settlement with Donald Trump
in his lawsuit.
They're going to pay him 16.
million dollars for the edited 60 minutes
Kamala Harris interview debacle.
So Trump gets $16 million from CBS
and they wanted to get that deal done
because they're trying to get that merger done
and they just wanted to get this Trump thing
off their plate. And so 16 million
they settled for. Trump gets another
16 million from these douchebags
that have been editing crap for years
and telling lies about them.
And they're finally having to pay
up a little bit, own up to a little bit of it.
So rest in peace to your lies, although that their lies are not dead.
You know, and I'm still fascinated by this Idaho, well, I called him a frat boy killer,
but it's off-campus house killer.
You know, he killed four people, stabbed them to death.
They were attending the University of Idaho.
And this Brian Colberger is his name.
Amorpha Phalus.
You know, that is not his name.
Brian Coburger.
He agreeing to the guilty plea of the four students,
he's going to avoid the death penalty and go to prison for life.
And there was a couple of family members that are a little pissed,
that they, how they were notified about the deal,
and they wanted to go to trial.
And, of course, I mean, they want him to pay for murdering their loved ones.
And I understand that.
I really do.
but he's going to plead guilty according to the reports
he should have already done that by the time you listen to this podcast
and he's going to
four consecutive life sentences
and he's going to waive his right to appeal
so he's going to be in prison forever
but in 30 years you don't know what happens
I mean I kind of I am torn to this
because you don't know if you're going to you need it a unanimous decision
in Idaho for the death penalty okay
So first you got to find him guilty
And then you got to go before sentencing on the death penalty
And then, you know, there you go
And then there's going to be years and years of appeals
And it costs
I was listening to
Some Idaho attorney expert
About the case
And he said it costs more
For you to be on death row
than it does in regular GenPob
Prison
And you used
you have all the appeals and if he
does the plea deal where there's no
appeal then the only thing that
you really have to be concerned about is that you
know that your loved
one is dead and he's still
waking up in the morning alive
right that's the only thing that's what these
families are really pissed about
but there was so much more to the case
I mean they were trying to bring get people
in to testify in Pennsylvania
bring them out to Idaho
and I'm sure that these people did not
want to testify. If I'm living in Pennsylvania, I don't want to
head all the way out to Idaho to testify.
I don't care how bad this guy is. And I know he's
I got it. He's a nightmare, but they were, the defense was trying to bring
them in, you know, to speak on his behalf. Because that's, you know,
they were, some of these people liked him in Pennsylvania. Just really,
really strange. I, I'm all for the death penalty. I am. And this guy,
if, you know, if he did it, you know, he definitely deserves it.
stabbing these four young college students
and then driving away
and thinking he's going to get away with it.
But it just,
it seems like the prudent thing to do.
That's take the plea deal,
get him in prison for life and be done with it.
And except for whatever,
because then you're done with it.
He can't appeal, he's in prison and that's it.
And you just have to, as a family,
if you wanted him to have the death penalty,
I guess.
I don't know.
Can you pray that he slips down a stairway?
Can you pray that he tries to escape
and the guard has to shoot him?
Can you pray for that?
I don't know.
No, you can't?
You're not supposed to pray for the death of someone else?
Is that how that works?
Okay.
All right, well, never mind.
Another story that kind of fascinates me
is this hiking influencer Hannah Moody.
I think we mentioned her and who died today.
She died back in May.
She was 31 and she died.
She's this influencer, hiking influencer.
She had, you know, tens of thousands of followers.
And she was found dead hiking in this trail in Scottsdale, Arizona.
And they have just released the cause of death for this hiking influencer who died at the age of 31 back in May.
And according to the medical examiner, there in Mary Copa County,
she died from environmental heat exposure
so
she was hot in more ways than one
and there were no obvious signs of foul play
or trauma
and so environmental
heat exposure
amorphalus yeah
you'd think as a hiking
influencer that she would be
or would have been
smarter than that.
One would think that,
wouldn't one?

Congratulations to Shea Gilgius
Alexander. You know
him as SGA, who plays
for the NBA
Champions Oklahoma City Thunder.
He's the NBA scoring leader.
He is MVP of the league.
Oh yeah, and he was the finals
MVP as well.
He just received a Supermax
extension. Supermax extension
for SGA. Now, the guy is amazing.
The guy is amazing.
And the Supermax extension is not a
technical foul. It is not a
technical foul. This makes
this new contract of SGA
will make him the NBA's
richest contract
in history.
It's a four-year deal.
$285 million.
Yeah.
$70 million a year.
That's a pretty good deal.
Sometime soon,
we're going to have the $100 million man.
I don't know.
Or woman, I know.
it's going to be a man
we're going to have that
and I mean 70 million a year
that's pretty darn good
that's a good contract
now he's going to have to struggle
for the next couple years
because this is a four year deal
tacked on
to the two year deal
that he's working on right now
so he still has two years left
in this contract
and he's only going to make
I don't know like 79.1 million
for these two years total
So it's under, right under 40 million a year.
I don't know how he's going to get by.
But after that, he's going to be with the, according to the contract,
he's going to be with the Thunder until 2031,
and he's going to make $70 million a year.
Wow, that's incredible.
So the first, the way the contract works out,
the first season, 70 million.
And then, oh, yeah, the first two seasons are 70 million.
the nose.
And in the final two years, he'll get 78.9 million.
Now, I know.
Now, it says here when you start bogging people down with facts,
it talks about a bit of accounting.
The contract total could decrease slightly when it takes effect.
The estimates are based on the NBA's salary cap going on by 10% a year for the
next two years.
And the league has already announced that its estimates of 2026, 2037 season have the salary
cap going up. Only 7%
if that happens. The total of the contract
then decreases accordingly.
It is a 35% of the salary cap.
Okay.
So,
then he'll make,
I don't know, 70.01 million
instead of 70.08 million
or 78 million.
The contract is worth
$285 million for four years.
Incredible. Congratulations.
SGA. Seriously, I mean, holy cow.
Good for you. Good for you. Welcome to America too, Canadian.
Anyway, just saying, I'm just saying, I'm just saying.
I don't know if he's dual citizen or if he's just here on a work visa.
We can kick you out at any time.
Don't let me call ice on you.
If I'm a fan of a team of playing going up against Oklahoma City Thunder,
I don't want people to do it.
I think it would be wrong,
but there may be a fan or two that would, you know,
maybe call Christy Knoem and say,
I think I've got a Canadian that's illegal here.
But I don't want that to happen at all.
I want to see him play on the court.
All right, let's get out of here.
A joke of the day.
My joke of the day ties in with Diddy, too.
So we had Diddy earlier in the show.
You know, Diddy was found not guilty on three of the five,
which means he was found guilty of two of the five.
And they're both the guilty verdicts.
were the transportation to engage in prostitution,
which just is so bizarre to me.
But we'll see.
And I hadn't seen when the sentencing will be for him.
I mean, they claim that even with the two that he was found guilty of,
that he could possibly get a decade in jail.
I don't know.
It sounds like he's going to be free.
I'm not sure what.
It talked about how he clasped his hands at the end of the courtroom.
after the judge left the bench,
the defense team hugged and congratulated each other
and the Combs family broke into applause.
One person explained the defense attorneys were the dream team.
As Combs left the courtroom, he said to his family,
I love you, I'm going to be home soon.
So I'll leave it there.
I'll leave it there.
I don't know that that's true.
But we will see.
We'll see.
All right, joke of the day.
sent from Jay.
This is joke number three
of the four that Jay sent
from Sherpman.
And so this ties in with the Diddy trial.
This is the one that I almost did yesterday
and I thought, no, I got to tie this in with Diddy.
It made me laugh.
Okay, so this is the joke thought of the day
from Jay, who emailed chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
We started out with number one was if Jimmy cracks corn
and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him.
And then we did, why does a round pizza come in a square box?
That was yesterday.
And today is going to be if corn oil is made from corn.
This is in honor of ditty, by the way.
If corn oil is made from corn and vegetable oil is made from vegetable,
what is baby oil made from?
I know.
Don't look at me like that.
You know you're thinking about it now.
And don't think that.
because I don't think it is.
