I can't get over this. A man who has served more than 34 years of a 400-year prison sentence has been released after the state of Florida reinvestigated the case and determined I didn't commit the crime. Oh, well, what was the crime? Armed robbery.

Back in 1989, this man was convicted by a jury and sentenced to 400 years in prison. Prosecutors at the time asked the judge to sentence him to 825 years in prison. What was the crime again? Oh yeah, armed robbery. Now, the reason for my recommendation, and I'm not saying for armed robbery at all, but it seems excessive. The, well, I'd be asking for 825 years and then sent,

sent him to 400 years in prison does seem excessive. The reason for the recommendation was that he didn't want the prosecutor at the time, Peter Magrino, didn't want him to be eligible for parole after 25 years if he had asked for a life sentence. So Sydney Holmes, now 57, said that it's overwhelming. that he has been exonerated. Uh, yeah. He has, you know, like everyone in prison,

as the joke goes, claimed his innocence from the very beginning. He was arrested in 1988 for allegedly being the driver for two unidentified men who robbed a man and a woman at gunpoint

outside a store. So he was the driver. Okay. The two unidentified men stole the male victims. car. He was sentenced as a habitual offender since he had been previously convicted of armed robbery for two incidents occurring in 1984, which he pled guilty to and immediately confessed. So the CRU, the Conviction Review Unit in Florida, found that, you know what, there's really

no evidence connecting Holmes to the robbery besides a flawed identification of him and the vehicle involved in the robbery. The CRU found that witnesses' identification of Holmes was it was misidentification. Oh, okay. Partly due to the photo and a live lineup practice, which was commonly used by law enforcement at the time, which they claim are now scientifically unreliable. The state's attorney's office also found that sheriff's office deputies who did the original investigations were shocked that he was sentenced to 400 years. Yeah, you think so? Well, the new Broward County State's attorney said that we have one rule here and that is to do the right thing.

Oh, well, that's so special, it actually is in our man's case. He said that our prosecutors, our only agenda is to promote public safety in our community and to ensure that justice is served. And so in 2020, Holmes contacted the state attorney's conviction review unit, claiming he was factually innocent of the armed robbery of the two people outside a convenience store. And that has been proven true. What's it worth? Well, he said in an interview, he's living with his sister-in-law, which I'm sure is great. And he's working for her as well.

Again, I'm sure that's great. Now, Florida has a law where you get 50,000. $1,000 a year for being wrongfully incarcerated. That would be, I don't know, $1,000,000 for my man, Sydney Holmes. But the law that's supposed to provide the exoneries with that $50,000 a year of wrongful imprisonment money, yeah, you know what? It's a stringent eligibility criteria. So right now, Mr. Holmes wouldn't qualify under the law because he has a

prior criminal record. So sorry about it. You know, we're looking to changing the law and trying to figure out, you know, maybe we can change it up a little bit. But for right now, yeah, we're just letting you out of prison. And good luck. God bless.

Wow. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. And think about how lives have changed the world. has changed in the last 34 years. What's taken place in everyone's life, including his, but his was just 34 years in prison. Just incredible.

I can't get it out of my mind. I talked about it a little bit on my Thursday hit with Brad Staggs over there at Mojo 5. Oh, it reminded me of a TV show, many things do, called rectify. I don't know if you've ever seen it. It's well worth a watch. It's called rectify. It's with Daniel Holden. And he has to put his, or, you know, this guy, Daniel Holden, has to put his life back together

after serving 19 years on George's death row before DNA evidence calls his conviction into Cushing and he's freed. And I think there's four seasons of rectify, maybe three. Yeah, four seasons. Aiden Young is Daniel Holden. He is awesome. Abigail Spencer is in it. Jay Smith, Cameron, is his mom.

The brother, Clayne Crawford. I mean, the family gets ripped apart. It's a fascinating study on what it would be like. It's called rectify. So if you have a chance to catch rectify, do so. Take my word for it. Like Susan. Susan sent me an email like you could do at Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com.

and her email read like this. Jeffie, a week or two ago, you were doing a segment on TV shows and highly recommended succession. I started watching the show at least a year ago, but stopped after two episodes. Too much swearing, too harsh and edgy.

I wanted to like it, did you? But I said it aside, well, after hearing you rave about it and knowing that I agree with you about most things, TV, and having finished 1923 and a bunch of other shows, I gave it another try. Just watched the end of season one last night, the wedding. Wow.

I was expecting maybe a leave him at the altar moment, but instead they went chap aquatic on us. Very unexpected and delicious. FYI. My husband is not interested at all in the show. Perhaps he needs to sit down and start watching it. As I'm watching and it's always at the time where someone is using the worst language possible, he'll wander in and say,

I can't believe you're watching that. L.O.L. Corrupted by Jeffie. You're welcome. Hubby needs to butch up a little bit. I know it's got some big guy language, but the end of season two, I mean, once you get through season two, it is awesome.

Season three is great too. And, of course, we have, you know, the latest season coming up here. But the end of season two is awesome. I can't tell you how many times I've gone. back and watched the final episode of season two. Really, really good. So the case against Buffalo Wild Wings has been thrown out.

U.S. District Judge John Tharp Jr. dismissed the lawsuit on procedural grounds. The lawsuit said that despite, and we talked about this the other day, despite Buffalo Wild Wings advertising its boneless wings are slices of chicken breast meat deep fried like wings. Yeah, that's what they are. He claims in his lawsuit, this Heilm, that, I don't know if it says his first name in a stupid story or not.

Well, not that it matters, but it's a man, Heilam. A-I-M-E-N-H-A-L-I-M. So he claims that it's a clear-cut case of false advertising. And when I say he, it could be a she, could be a they, them, I don't know. Whatever the pronouns are of a man, a helm, you go ahead and you do you. Okay. It's a clear-cut case of false advertising and should not be permitted. As consumers should be able to rely on the plain meaning of a product's name and receive what they are promised.

he claims they them she her claim they suffered financial injury from buffalo wild wings false and deceptive conduct if he oh it says a he in the story so i'm going to go with he if he knew the boneless wings were not in fact wings from a chicken then he never would have purchased them he also asserts that if buffalo Wild Wings patrons knew the truth about the boneless wings, then they would not purchase them. I feel like that's not true. Because we know they're not boneless wings. Buffalo Wild Wings just

calls them boneless wings. The chain has 1,300 locations, and they confirmed it. They actually confirmed it that, hey, wings are not in fact, our boneless wings are not in fact wings. They, the company proceeded to mock the premise of the lawsuit and good for them. It should be mocked. They had put out on social media.

It's true. Our boneless wings are all white meat chicken. Our hamburgers contain no ham. Our buffalo wings are zero percent buffalo. Good for them. So the case itself, again, got thrown out on procedural grounds. So the judge that tossed the case said that the plaintiffs failed to proper identify the parties involved, gave them until the end of this month, the 27th of March, 2023, to refile their case. According to this, they're going to refile the case. Just a waste of the court's time, in my opinion. I did get a tweet referring to this particular case from at ML 721721. I love at ML 721721.

Okay, Jeffie, I have a million-dollar idea for all of us. We could bring a lawsuit against hot dog makers since they are not hot or dogs. A genius idea at ML. 721, 721. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Congratulations to Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, congratulations. Not that you don't need congratulating for being married to Blake lively and actually having children with Blake. He just sold his Mint Mobile to T-Mobile for one. $1.35 billion.

Congratulations. So in 2019, he bought a stake in Mint Mobile. So obviously, he's not going to get the entire $1.35 billion, but he'll do okay. He sells, which sells Mint Mobile, sells budget phone plans. And he started a series of ads for the company. I mean, he realized doing funny ads to monetize a company as a good way to get into the business world and it worked. He also is the CCO, the chief creative officer of an ad tech company

that's, you know, part of other campaigns and projects that he's involved with with Peloton, Match Group and so on. He also had a successful sale of a Reynolds-backed business in 2018. He became the co-owner of Aviation Jin, which he sold in 2020 for $610 million. now Metro PCS in 2013 merged with Sprint in 2020 and then T-Mobile is betting that Reynolds who will stay on in a creative role

and his continued charismatic ad strategy will help the company's now small army of budget carriers snag more customers so anyway all of that to just say congratulations to Ryan Reynolds for $1.35 billion for your cell company. Congratulations. And another court case going on. Marvel Studios is suing Google and Reddit to find out who leaked the Ant Man and the

Wasp quantumania script before the movie premiered. So we'll see how that works out. Yeah, because wow, did that hurt the movie? I mean, whof, somebody released a script before the movie premiered, and man, that really hurt the theater viewings of Ant Man and the Wasp, Quantum Mania. Know what I'm saying? Of course you do. All right, Wippets, Laughing Gas.

According to this story, it's Hippie Crack. I didn't know that it was called Hippie Crack, but, man, I have, Talk to you serious now, okay. Nitrous oxide. I have done nitrous oxide before. It comes in a little silver canisters and you can put them into balloons or there's a little device that you can put the canister in and it cracks it open and you just inhale it from the device. I forget what those stupid thing is called.

It's called a nitrous oxide canister cracker opener. Oh, okay. So apparently it is now more dangerous than cocaine. wait what that's what a neurologist has said it is more dangerous than cocaine amid a dramatic uptick in young people experimenting with the drug now it's been used recreationally for a long time and in this story they call it huffing experimentation but i feel like uh laughing gas whip its nitrous oxide that's not huffing but if you use the whipped cream canisters to to get the nitrous out of.

That, I guess, could be considered huffing because you're getting it from the canister, from the can itself. And that doesn't work well to pain. They've got to be warm, and you've got to sit for a little while. Not that I've ever done it before. You get the most out of it if you keep them warm

and don't shake them up until the time to use them because then everything rises to the top of the can. Anyway, So apparently, more people have been using it since the pandemic. Oh, no. There have direct deaths from the inhalation of nitrous oxide. Really rare, which is why, you know, they consider it to be kind of a safe drug. But according to this, long-term health problems can be caused by the drug, nerve damage, memory loss, paralysis.

Okay. I mean, I know, you know, everybody loves. loves the feeling and it's a great feeling from you know that temporary relaxation and euphoria from whippets you get a heck of a whipet headache when you're done after a while just letting you know now it here in new york anyway and i don't know about america but in new york they made it illegal to inhale nitrous oxide so you can still buy it but you can't inhale it. Oh, okay.

What were you doing right there? Oh, man, it was an accident. I didn't mean to. Sorry. Man, if I'd have realized that doing that right there and then putting it in my mouth was going to mean that I inhaled it.

Boy, am I sorry? Your Honor. Sorry. And in New York, you can't buy whipped cream canisters if you're under 21. That's just insane, but good. You know, it's all for the children and all for your health.

Okay. He believes, this doc who claims this is, you know, an epidemic, it'll never be completely outlawed. Well, why not? Well, they use it for whipped cream and they, you know, it's out there. Well, we use a lot of things in America for, you know, our food and probably shouldn't be eating that stuff either. But I just want you to know.

Okay. That's all. I'm just as I'm informing you. I'm not telling you to do it. I'm not telling you not telling you not to do it. I'm just telling you that right now there's a neurologist in New York that says it's a bigger health risk than cocaine. All right. So the next time you're cracking open a canister of some whippets or some hippie crack and doing a deep inhale, just know.

Just know that. You're at a bigger health risk than doing cocaine, which is funny because I thought we weren't supposed to do cocaine anymore because it had fentanyl mixed with it that they're bringing it across the border. So just be ready for nitrous oxide to be put on the list of things you can't do. It's not good for you. You should be doing it anyway, okay? Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

I don't think there's a reward. So if you see Roy McGrath, who has now wanted by federal Marshals, the U.S. Marshal Service. I have a wanted poster out for Roy McGrath. He was the chief of staff for the governor of Maryland, Larry Hogan. And he has wanted for fraud. He is facing a maximum of 100 years in federal prison for charges. He illegally recorded Hogan, stole thousands of dollars from the state government. That includes more than 233,000 from the Maryland Invignton.

environmental service, the state agency where he worked before his leading role in the Hogan administration. He falsified timesheets while on a European vacation. I mean, what are we just going to stop it? He falsified timesheets while on a European vacation. Okay. And stole thousands of state funds to take classes at Harvard. That bastard. So nobody knows where he is.

He was supposed to turn himself in. He was supposed to fly from four. Florida. He's got a home in Naples up to Maryland to turn himself in. And the wife and the lawyer, yeah, we don't know where he is. I talked to him a couple days ago and he's, we don't know where he is. They want him to turn himself in. So armed plane closed law enforcement were there outside of his house at Naples, which is always good for the neighborhood to have armed U.S. Marshals and probably deputy sheriffs outside your house. looking to arrest the man when he shows up at his house.

But he's got to be found guilty of these charges. Right now he is just, these are just allegations. But the wanted poster is out there from the U.S. Marshals for Roy C. McGrath. Fraud converts to own-use property of another, theft in programs receiving federal funds and falsification of records in federal investigations. So if you see, Roy C. McGrath. He probably should turn him in,

but you can double check and see if there's a reward for turning him in. He had to surrender his passport and any weapons, and his wife surrendered her gun, according to the records. So we still don't know where he is. He was supposed, again, he was supposed to fly from Florida to Baltimore this past weekend, and he's, you know, missing.

So if there's not a reward, I mean, you should turn it in anyway, right? Of course you should. Okay, so who died today? Who died today? Bobby Caldwell, the sole R&B singer and songwriter had the big hit back in the 70s with What You Won't Do for Love, had the voice in musical style adored by generations. He died with his wife at his side at the age of 71. He was at his home in Great Meadows, New Jersey, after a long illness.

So Bobby Caldwell, dead at the age of 71. Then we had Joe Pepitone. Joe Pepitone is added to the list of who died today. You remember Joe, a Yankees All-Star, and a favorite of generations he was 82 he was living with his daughter in Kansas City, Missouri and she found him

on Monday so he was 82 years old he was suspected to have had a heart attack don't look at me like that I just know his daughter found him like that I know what you're thinking right off the bat and they don't they don't say this okay they just know he was 82

and they suspected he had a heart attack living at his daughter's house, okay? There's nothing to do with what you're thinking about. So, stop thinking about that. Joe Pampetone, dead at the age of 82. Speaking of the Yankees, though, I see where there's a story that the New York Yankees are one of two teams, the Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds, who make their players pay for Wi-Fi on the their jets when they're flying to games. And Major League Baseball is on the road, you know,

almost the entire year, it seems like. And so apparently they have to pay. They have to shell out if they want to, you know, use the Wi-Fi on the plane. I know they, I mean, it's a pretty sweet chartered jet. And I guess, you know, they have, you know, poker tables and other stuff on the plane. It's not just your ordinary, you know,

seats across the, you know, seats on each side kind of plane. But, I mean, it seems pretty chinty that they wouldn't be paying for Wi-Fi for these players. And I know, I get it. They make a lot of money, and they could pay for their own damn Wi-Fi. It just seems a little chinty. And I see a headline today that's kind of interesting.

Pat McAfee could walk away from a $120 million-plus fan-dual deal. Now, the Pat McAfee show is on YouTube. It's a daily show. It's, I don't know, two to four hours a day. And I like it. I watch it when I can. They just had Aaron Rogers on yesterday. Aaron said he wants to play for the Jets.

It's not him holding up the deal. Had hundreds of thousands of people watching live. Pat usually gets between, I don't know, 30 and 50,000 people watching live his show every day. And I like it. And they stick to sports. And during the football season, it's awesome. And he does, you know, color on college.

game day and he's done some college football and he was on the sidelines of the championship games and stuff is some fun broadcast and i like his team they're uh they're fun and uh you know he's being sued now we talked about him being sued by brett farv just a silly stupid lawsuit there but i think the only reason that pat and pat's famous for saying you know things are in the work and you know he's always going to announce stuff it wouldn't surprise me if i was thinking about this well that's silly why would he walk away from the Fanduil deal? He said, that's a great deal for Fanduil, and it's been a great deal for Pat.

Despite, you know, I mean, $120 million is a lot of money, but it's like $30 million a year, four or five year deal, and it's, you know, it's good, good for both parties. What I was thinking, though, is that he is, he hasn't been back to the WBE. He has been doing the college game day,

which I think will probably continue. but I think that they want to get him involved in the NFL. He's a former NFL punter. He's a former NFL player. He has relationships with the NFL, and he believes that it's the man's sport and loves the NFL. That's the real game is the National Football League, and that's the way he bases his show on.

And it works, and it's great, and it's a lot of fun, in particular during this time of year when all the trades and free agency is up and during the season. If he is going to start doing stuff for the NFL, he may have to give up the deal on Fanduil, but he may work it out so that his team, because they do a couple of betting shows on the YouTube channels there, tied in with Fanduil,

that his team would be able to do it and would be, you know, they would have to not talk about it when Pat is there because the NFL wants to, you know, they're going to, they're letting the ads in and you're able to talk about betting and gambling. and gambling, but you can't have anything to do with it. So it's kind of a strange line. That's the only thing I could think of that would make the Fanduil Deal fall apart.

And so we'll see. You know, just seems strange that he would walk away from the Fandual Deal when it was such a good deal, unless he's moving on and continuing with college football and the NFL. Because right now he has nothing to do. He's not affiliated with the NFL. He bought the rights to play clips from the NFL, and he's such a big proponent of the NFL, and yet there's such kind of hands-off with him.

So it's a weird, weird situation. There's no doubt about that. But I can see if he comes on board with, I don't know, doing Thursday night football with Amazon tied with the NFL, or doing something else with the NFL, as the mothership, that he would have to give up the Fanduil gambling deal to do that. And so they'd have to make it worth his while. And guess what?

The NFL has the money to do that. Hit pause on whatever you're listening to and hit play on your next adventure. This fall get double points on every qualified stay. Life's the trip. Make the most of it at Best Western. Visit BestWestern.com for complete term. and conditions. Walking back from your house, walking on, walking on the moon.

You see where the moonwalking astronauts are going to have these sleaker, more flexible space suits. Yay! That come in different sizes when they step into the lunar surface. I don't think they have fat guy seating, so they're not going to have fat guy suits. They don't need them. They probably need different sizes. for male and female, though.

Yeah, that's what's happening right there. So I know that the company that's designing the next generation spacesuits, Axiom Space, said it plans to have new versions for training purposes for NASA later this summer. NASA awarded Axiom Space $228.5 million to provide the outfits for the first moon landing in more than 50 years. The space agency is targeting Lake 2025 at the earliest to land two astronauts

on the moon's South Pole. So we'll need a red carpet walk before then, Axiom. Let's get it on there. So they modeled the new spacesuit or what they're thinking about.

What's the prototype, the dark space suit doing squats and twisting at the waist to demonstrate its flexiose. The company said the final version will be different including the color. Yeah, this is just the mock up and this is what we're thinking about. This is where we're almost at. And so look, we want to show that we're spending a little bit of the $228.5 million to design these outfits. Okay, so back off us.

We're going to get it going on for you. No problem. And the astronauts are going to look great. And there'll be different sizes and different colors. And it's going to be just stup. Okay. So people, people, people. Keep it moving. I mean, the SpaceX suits were made by Elon and NASA. So now we've hired this company, Axiom, for $230 million, $228.5 million, to bake these new suits when SpaceX had the new suits for their astronauts. I mean, Elon talked about making those and being a part of the form-fitting one-piece suits as the plug-in to the capsule seats. So, well, these are for moonwalks, Jeff.

They're not just for sitting down in the seat and flying in a rocket. Okay, these guys, or gals, or thems, or these, are going to be walking on the moon. So they need different suits. Okay, that's what Axiom is doing. They're providing different suits for people walking on the moon. Okay, so shut up. Okay, okay, okay. It's just wondering.

And now I can't get that stupid song out of my head from the police. Walking back from your house. Walking on, walking on the moon. I'll stop. If it's in your head now, sorry about it. Okay, so we talk a lot about airline safety, and we know we have the safety summit coming up. At least that's what they claim because of the close calls

and airplanes dinging each other. other on the tarmac. Well, a former Delta pilot and president of the Airline Pilots Association said several incidents over the last three months came close to resulting in tragic accidents and have to be addressed. We can't wait for a tragedy to fix it. Oh, wow. That was Lee Moog, who was the pilot for Boeing 767 planes. served as president of the airline pilots association. He went on to say that the industry is racing to meet training requirements required to bring furloughed employees back and certify its new employees on the flight deck at airlines operations and maintenance facilities.

Since COVID lockdown, safety leadership has been fluid at best. And now FAA has been without a permanent administrator for nearly a year. Yeah, I mean, this administration, holy cow. So the FAA, obviously, the Office of Charge of Aviation Safety, has had an acting head for a year. And so we'll see. I know Billy Nolan is the guy who's the acting FAA administrator, but you need somebody in there who's going to take the bull by the horns, no question.

And he calls on the government to work closely with airlines, controllers, and pilots to ensure the aviation safety takes a greater priority. stating that we cannot assume our commercial aviation system can just pick up where it left off in 2020. So let's get to it. Let's hop on it. Okay? Let's make that happen. Speaking of Delta, though, I see where the tech tycoon, Steve Kirsch, offered a woman $100,000 to take off her mask on board of Delta flight.

So let me ask you a question. If you're listening to this and you're a mask wear, would you take it off? on a plane, the mask that is, for a hundred thousand dollars. There is, I don't know what it is I wouldn't do for a hundred thousand, but wearing a mask is certainly one of them, I'll tell you that. So he had tweeted out, I'm on board of Delta flight now, the person's sitting next to me in first class refused $100,000 to remove her mask for the entire flight.

Wow. apparently she works for a pharma company he posted his selfie that showed him smiling on board a full flight did not disclose where they were going he said that and Steve Kirsch, if you don't know who he is he's credited with

designing coming up with the first versions of the optical mouse back in 1980 he's worth a couple hundred million or something good for him so he's on this plane and he said he started off at a hundred bucks you get your mask take it off for a hundred bucks no they reached a hundred thousand dollars and she wouldn't do it now apparently

she had taken it off to eat because he put a longer post out that said she took off her mask as soon as the breakfast was served because everyone knows you can't be infected while you're eating yeah no kidding maybe next time I'll sit next to someone who had an account at Silicon Valley Bank boom boom thank you

so a lot of people call telling him a creep and uh no way uh he's just trying to get this lady to not wear a mask and trying to understand why she would just wear a mask you're obnoxious you're an arrogant fool maybe so but steve if you would like to give me a hundred i probably i probably would have done it prior to him getting to a hundred thousand like he would have went up to a hundred i'm not for a hundred now. But I may have even done it for a hundred. Yeah, sure. $100 for this flight? Buy me a ticket. Tell you what?

So I would have gone up to probably what's a ticket? A thousand bucks. But for sure, I would have gotten some money from Steve. But he went all the way up to a hundred grand and she still wouldn't take it off for the duration of the flight.

Wow. Good for you. Good for you. Good for you. Okay, I'm torn on this story. I know, you know, we make the argument humans first. All right. Three hikers have had their legs broken by baboons.

Now, apparently the baboons pushed these boulders over a cliff as these, this group of men were climbing the rocks, okay, in South Africa. So I guess the baboons became agitated when they saw the seven men, you know, climbing the rocks in their territory. So as two hikers repelled down the ledge The other five came under fire From rocks Three hikers had their legs broken And had to be rescued by a helicopter

So apparently these baboons Started throwing rocks down And the rocks shattered And sheared pieces of the rock Went into these guys' legs All right Now they covered themselves And they called

The one guy got a call out and the rescue helicopter came and took the injured humans out, and I guess the baboons had moved on, so the other four guys, you know, hiked out of there. Now, they claim that these baboons can't throw overhand, but they throw underhand, and they get pissed and agitated when you're coming into their territory, which is why they started throwing rocks.

Now, as I said, I believe humans first. But these guys were kind of in the baboons territory, and the baboons didn't kill them, although they could have. Now, baboons, man, the cape baboon, that's one of the world's biggest monkeys, can weigh up to like 80 pounds and four feet long. Now, they got something with their shoulder where they can't throw overhand.

Their blades are at a different angle to their ribs than humans are, so they underhand throw things, but they're strong. And so they just picked up these rocks, these 130-pound rocks, that's slinging them over the side. Now, you know, these hikers aren't going to be armed, right?
