Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher Okay, this story has such a weird thing that happened. I'm not quite sure I understand it. Well, no, let me rephrase that. I understand it.
Starting point is 00:00:46 I just don't know how it could have happened. That's where I'm at. I was struggling with it right now as we speak. So a Utah man was infuriated and left in shambles, according to this story. after realizing he drank urine instead of what he thought was a milkshake, he ordered from Grubhub. Okay, so let's stop there for a moment. If you were to get a meal from Grubhub, and one of the things that you were supposed to have gotten was a milkshake,
Starting point is 00:01:20 you don't know the difference between a milkshake and a cup of urine? That's an issue in and of itself, okay? So Caleb Wood said he decided to order fries and a milkshake from, from Chick-fil-A off the Grubhub app, but knew something was up when he took a sip from the beverage that he claims made him sick afterwards. Well, duh, I mean, you're stupid, Caleb, okay? When I started eating my meal upon delivery,
Starting point is 00:01:48 I put a straw in my cup that was delivered and took a sip. I soon discovered that the cup delivered to me from the Grubhubhub driver was a warm cup of urine. There's no way that he didn't know it was urine. I'm sorry. Unless he's at home firing up the bong, which is possible. He's maybe he maybe just sitting at home. You know what I want, man?
Starting point is 00:02:17 Is a fries and a shake from chick filet? I just ordered on the Grubhub app so I could just sit here and continue to get high. And then, all right, my food is delivered, man. And man, I'm just going to eat my fries and I'm going to stick my straw in this cup that looks nothing like a milkshake and take a sip and it's warm urine. I can't believe it.
Starting point is 00:02:44 So he calls the driver back. And the driver says, you know, the driver returns back to the house and says, oh yeah, dude, I'm sorry. I'm really busy. And I don't take a lot of breaks. and so I gave you the wrong cup
Starting point is 00:03:05 because a lot of times I don't stop I don't know where the bathroom is and so I you know I messed up I grabbed the wrong cup I didn't do it on purpose I'm sorry so I had just I like putting a lot of hours and I don't like to stop and use the restroom
Starting point is 00:03:21 oh okay so now the guy wants to get his money back well he got some of his money back they refunded like 18 bucks of the food 25 bucks for fries and a milkshake from Chick-fil-A on Grubhub.
Starting point is 00:03:38 That's a little, I mean, holy cow. You wouldn't expect more than urine, a cup of urine for that. But that's a lot of cash for that. Okay, so now he said they didn't refund the delivery fee or the tip that I gave. Now you'd think, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:54 maybe the urine driver would say, I got you covered, don't worry about it. Here's your money. Take care. Apparently that didn't happen. Now Grubhub has now said, we took immediate action with the driver and ended his contract with us. We're following up with the customer to apologize and are coaching the representative who was previously in touch with the customer. Okay, so they fired the guy.
Starting point is 00:04:19 The guy's out there working, man. He's not even taking bathroom breaks for you delivering food. And you fire him? No way. I mean, Grubhub. Come on, man. What are you doing? You got this guy out there busting his tail, peeing in the car.
Starting point is 00:04:31 He's not even stopping at gas stations to be To deliver food for you I made one little mistake I gave the guy a cup of Urine in my car What are you going to do? I'm sorry I just the whole thing Although you know what I think it is
Starting point is 00:04:49 It's not real It almost sounds like this story Isn't real First The guy doesn't know the difference between a milkshake And a cup of urine Which I find very difficult to believe.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Second, the story says Grubhub fired him. Why would you fire a guy that's out there working that hard for you? It doesn't make any sense to me. And the other thing, $25 bucks? $25 for a milkshake and an order of fries from Chick-fil-A? No, thank you.
Starting point is 00:05:24 No, thank you. But, you know, even for $25, you do expect more than a cup of war. urine. All right, welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Okay, my main man, Robert Duch Niro, is in court. And I hadn't realized that the trial had started. So yesterday was the second day of the trial. He was on the stand. Dush Nero took the stand. He is so sure of himself. I mean, he's 80 now and he really doesn't care.
Starting point is 00:05:59 So the trial is with Graham Chase Robinson, who is 41, and she was. was his new girl, I'm sorry, ex-staffer, forever. She did everything for him. And she claims that he was a terrible boss, duh, he's Robert De Niro, subjected her to years of unwanted touching, abusive language, and demeaning misogynistic tasks. Like scratching his back. I mean, Robert admitted to You got me
Starting point is 00:06:37 You got me I asked her to scratch my back a couple of times Guilty, guilty, guilty, county Ha ha ha ha And maybe, you know Only when I had an itch in a spot I couldn't reach What are you going to do?
Starting point is 00:06:49 She's there Give it a scratch So it was never done According to Robert out of any disrespect He said no, no And he looked at Chase And said, shame on you shame on you
Starting point is 00:07:03 so remember we talked about it when she when this this thing first started because she he claimed stole a bunch of air miles and I think a Netflix password or something you can't have that that's a crime
Starting point is 00:07:22 in it of itself you don't know don't be taking my Netflix password but so he he was pissed about the air miles and he's got all kinds of air miles and he's a cheap bastard anyway we've all known that he's whined
Starting point is 00:07:37 about how much money things cost forever unless it's for him unless it's for him it's fine because at one point it was pot he De Niro admitted well you know I guess it's possible that I asked her to Uber Mia Martini
Starting point is 00:07:51 from Nobu Sushi lounge at 11 p.m. Okay so he's she's his new girl he expects that from her she's working for him and he expects You know, it's 11 o'clock. I could use a martini from one of my restaurants. Hey, Chase, why don't you Uber me a martini?
Starting point is 00:08:08 Ah ha. And apparently, in the courtroom, they'd say, is it true that you called her twice while she was attending her grandmother's funeral because you wanted her to buy your teen son a bus ticket? His response to that. So. I hate thinking that I want to be on Robert De Niro's side here, but I kind of do. I kind of do.
Starting point is 00:08:39 But, you know, he's such a douche that it's very, very, very difficult to do. She is saying that, you know, all this, claiming all this stuff. When he said so, laughter burst out in the courtroom and Deuce Niro said, hey, had to say it. Sorry. So he's already got a relationship with the jury. She's done. She's done. She's done.
Starting point is 00:09:04 I mean, she can't really prove that he did anything inappropriate. She could say it. And he would say, yeah, I had a skirt or scratch my back when I had my back scratcher. And I couldn't reach the itch. That is awesome. So, okay, so she resigned. She worked for him for 11. years. Wow. She worked for him for 11
Starting point is 00:09:29 years as Robert Nusonero's due girl. What a nightmare job. I don't even know how much it paid, but it couldn't have paid that much if she's stealing air miles. So apparently he told her to take some air miles in case of emergencies. And he said, I didn't tell her to take that many. She's taking them for personal use. So he just wants her to do the right thing. He said on the sand, the whole case is nonsense.
Starting point is 00:09:55 It's ridiculous. I wanted my things back. That's all I'm asking. Return my things. Return my air miles. Enough is enough. So he asked, he was asked on the stand if she was a
Starting point is 00:10:11 disloyal employee. And he goes, disloyal? I don't know. Whatever. I wanted to get her because she stole my stuff. Oh, my stuff back. Okay? That's all he cares about. It's his stuff. And she was, she had no business taking it is the whole deal.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Okay, so he testified that she, then the assistant, okay, this is what she did. He told her she could take one to two million Delta Sky Miles from the company's account to her personal one for emergency situations. He said he trusted her to act in good faith based on the honor system. I wanted her to do it in reason, not to take five million miles. Robbins. I poured my heart and soul into the job, said Chase, and as a result, other parts of my life and opportunities were put on hold.
Starting point is 00:11:07 You always came first, Robert. I know. I need a do girl. It's what needs to happen. Don't you already have a wife? Yeah, you know the answer to that. Anyway, when asked by his own lawyer how he felt about after receiving Robinson's resignation, the actor responded, I was relieved.
Starting point is 00:11:27 I hate being on his side, but he's so right. And it's over air miles and a Netflix account. Just amazing. And he just wants his stuff back. Just do the right thing. That's all he's asking. And so then when he went after her for that, that's what she countersued with this $12 million and talked about inappropriate
Starting point is 00:11:48 touching and came up with all this stuff. So she, I worked, sexual harassment, bullying, working expecting me to work 24-7 and to assume the role of his office wife that was the gig you did sign up for that so and you took the call you're complaining that he called you at your grandmother's funeral but you took the call because i mean you knew he needed something you didn't know what it was but you knew he needed something and then you were pissed because it was about just to get his son a bus ticket I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:12:27 He's going to be found innocent and she's going to have to pay back the Delta Air Miles. Absolutely. There's no... I mean, even... Okay, so, if I'm on the jury, and I'm already biased,
Starting point is 00:12:40 but I've made my way to the jury, and I'm already like Robert Dush Nero. Man, I am going to... This guy is guilty. Did you look at that and you hear that testimony and you hear what's going on? You're thinking, I mean, he's right. He's a douche.
Starting point is 00:12:55 I know. But you signed up for the job to be dooshes do-girl. I believe that is the title on her business card. Hi, Chase Robinson. Doosys Do-Gurl?

Starting point is 00:15:09 There's a new world record The Exodus and Iggy Chaudry Of Delavan Wisconsin was on a mission To break their world record of the largest grilled cheese sandwich. So they had a custom welded pan, and they used 300 pounds of dough,
Starting point is 00:15:34 along with 60 pounds of cheese, and that sounds so good. The feast took nearly one month to assemble. What are we talking about? A month? Okay. Oh, they were doing it on their YouTube channel, Jeff. They were trying to get clicks.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Oh, okay. The cheesy sandwich measured 6.25 feet wide, 10.9 feet long, and 2.75 inches thick. Nice. So the Guinness World Record title for the World's largest grilled cheese sandwich belonged, the previous record, belonged to Cabot Cramory in Vermont. I love Cabot cheese too, man. That's some good stuff. Now, they set the record back in 2000 with their sandwich weighing 320.

All right, let's go to the break room. I could use a grilled cheese sandwich, as a matter of fact.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I need something, but more than that, I need something cold to drink desperately. So I mentioned this today during Pat Unleashed, did my Chewing the Fat Segment on Pat Unleashed. And as I'm doing it, I'm thinking again, I've got to share it on Chewing the Fat as well. You did. It's Chewing the Fat or Out Leashed. Now that's just a segment.
Starting point is 00:17:27 This is tuning the fact the actual show. Thank you for subscribing, by the way. So Taylor Swift, hauled in, you know, 20 nominations for the 2020-3 Billboard Music Awards, which the awards are going to be presented on November 19th. Now, inside the story, they talk about how she has the most Billboard Music Awards for any female winner ever with 29. You know, Drake has, I'm sorry,
Starting point is 00:17:52 she has the most Billboard Music Awards for any female winner. with 29. And Drake, of course, has the most nominations, I guess, for anyone, male or female. Ha! Anyway, she has a chance to break Drake's, you know, record this year. But Drake has 14 nominations, so he could get a few and just jump out ahead. So the battle is on for the most Billboard Music Awards. And it talks about, you know, this competition, and that's great.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Okay, so since the winners, you know, it's a data-driven award show from Billboard, and they're going to be revealed on November 19th. Now, I don't remember this release, but it says it was previously announced that the show will not have anything like a traditional broadcast. That's the way all these award shows should be. Oh, my gosh. So rather, the awards and the performances, which are yet to be announced, are going to be rolled out on the social channels for Billboard and BBMA.
Starting point is 00:19:00 That's what we talked about here on this show. I don't know how long ago. That's what I said. Don't just do it on social media. We already know the songs. We know the videos. We know their lives. We've seen them on the beach of Barbados.
Starting point is 00:19:14 We've seen them on their yachts. We don't need to see them eating salmon at some dinner party. That's why nobody watches the stupid shows. We don't care what they just show. us the winner. And they can say thank you on their personal social channels. They can make sure that Billboard can tag them. They can do
Starting point is 00:19:33 live stuff. They can do it all on their social media stuff. You don't need the actual broadcast shows. Hear that? ABC, NBC, CBS? Yeah, I know. You wondered why you spent all that money for those award shows and not getting any viewers? Pretty soon the whole thing is coming down
Starting point is 00:19:51 because of the new world. Anyway, it's just something that needs to to be happy. So congratulations to it. Taylor, Drake, all the other nominees for the Billboard Music Awards. I can't wait to

And then I got the third pair of recons, which I still.
Starting point is 00:22:51 use from time to time, but my son is like, oh, I kind of like those. Why don't you get another pair? And so I'm just, the house is becoming just full of racons. Everybody loves them. And they sound great. And I do love the fact that, you know, there are times. When you listen to shows, say like, ah, this one.
Starting point is 00:23:10 And you want to just enjoy the show. And you don't want that noise from the house. You know, that noise of other people that live in your house. You don't want to hear that. So you just want to hear the show. And that's where Raycon's come in handy. So school's back in session. If you've been driving around neighborhoods,

Starting point is 00:24:21 last Jeffie. So now we're going to have what they're calling Pharmageddon as more pharmacies are going to close with protests. Okay, okay, calm down. All right, people need their prescriptions. Okay. So organizers say that 900 pharmacists working for CBS and Walgreens are going to strike, and I'm sorry they say may strike this week. So maybe two walk off the job. As they seek better working conditions. Now this is the same fight that we were talking about before.
Starting point is 00:25:00 So if you go, I would be so pissed if I go to my local Walgreens to get my prescriptions filled and Joe the pharmacist isn't there. Or Millie the pharmacist isn't there. Oh man. So 900 people,
Starting point is 00:25:15 10 states could participate in the ongoing protest which started earlier this week. So there's no way to independently verify that number. But we're still going to talk about it. So they're pissed at CBS and Walgreens. These, they're supposed to be, the protests are, that are much more notable because the pharmacists don't have a union and aren't asking for better pay. They primarily want their employees to hire more staff to
Starting point is 00:25:43 alleviate the workload and to eliminate policies that push them to work faster. I can't believe that an employer wants employees to work faster. Those bastards, they say that those conditions are making it more likely that they will make a mistake and could harm a patient. Now, that's their good fallback option, I'll tell you that.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Every one of them say, I could count wrong. Okay. So I get 31 blood pressure pills instead of 30. The horror. If I get 29, I'm pissed. You can always count up.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Okay, don't, don't I was short. All right. So they've complained about this for a long time. And they've got to give, they're mad that they've got to stop and give flu shots and vaccine shots. And so the one operations manager
Starting point is 00:26:40 at a Nebraska Walgreens who spoke who spoke under anonymity because they didn't want anybody to know who they were. You know, it's one of the Nebraska ones. Yeah, probably. there's like two cities in Nebraska that have pharmacies, okay?
Starting point is 00:26:57 There's more than that, Jeff. Okay, whatever you say. And I said the store is sole pharmacist and its pharmacy technicians constantly have to stop what they're doing to cover other jobs within the pharmacy. Well, that's a different story. Now, you're work, first of all,
Starting point is 00:27:12 you're working in, you know, beautiful Lincoln, Nebraska. Okay, beautiful. I'm sure it is, and it probably gets a little busy. But if you're working in Broken Bow, Nebraska, I doubt that there's a Walgreens in Broken Bow, Nebraska. In fact, look that up. See if there is. I bet there isn't.
Starting point is 00:27:32 A Walgreens in Broken Bow, Nebraska, the Far Western Inn. So if they're doing other stuff, that's an issue. They should be just doing pharmaceutical duties. But I'll give you that. They should do that. But on the other hand, they tell you at the drive-thru, if you need something from the store, they have to go and get it for you.
Starting point is 00:27:54 So whatever it is. So if I wanted a pair of socks from aisle four, they'd have to run and get me a pair of socks from aisle four. It's just that's what they say. So at any point, I could have three or four customers waiting for me to do something with their prescription. Oh, no. You had people in line? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:28:13 It could be double checking it or consulting. Every single one of us is jumping from customer to customer to customer all day long. Oh, no. And that causes more. mistakes, counting out pills. Oh, no, we can't have that. I fill about 450 prescriptions in a typical nine-hour day. It seems like a lot. I'd like to know what store in Nebraska is filling 450 prescriptions in a day. But, okay, if you say so, you got me. Okay, Broken Bow, Nebraska. No Walgreens in Broken, Nebraska. Thank you. Anything in the vicinity?
Starting point is 00:28:50 There's some local pharmacies. Yeah, I know. That's Millie. Joe's pharmacy. That's not the Walgreens. Yeah, okay. Closest one is in Kearney, Nebraska. How far is that? Stand by. Has it say that? Okay, that's in Kearney, Nebraska. Where is that?
Starting point is 00:29:10 I want to know, is that, I want to know how far it is and I want to know if it's Oh, yeah, hurry, Keith, Keith, Keith, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down. Okay, so sit down. Okay, so sit down. I don't even know what you're saying. I'll just heard Kearney. No, no, no, yeah, sit down. We were talking about, Walgreens
Starting point is 00:29:26 if there was any Walgreens in Broken Bow, Nebraska. And I said there's no way there's a Walgreens in Broken Bo, Nebraska. So there is no Walgreens in Broken Bow. Oh my gosh, bro. This is the most timely conversation ever.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I was just there. BJ just said that there's one in Kearney. How do you say it? Carney. Kearney, Nebraska. And it's about an hour from Broken Bow. An hour from Broken Bow. Is that Southwest?
Starting point is 00:29:52 Broken Bowles is the far western end. About southeast. Well, it's kind of middle of the west. I literally, I watched the Braves get eliminated in a hotel room and Broken Boe Nebraska two weeks ago. I just want to know about the pharmacy. And I remember me and Ezra, we're looking for a sign of life in that town. There's not a chance in hell there's a Walgreens there. No, there's not.
Starting point is 00:30:18 That's my point. There was no way because of this person. and Nebraska is claiming that they fill 450 prescriptions in a typical nine-hour day. And I'm thinking, you know, there's like two cities in Nebraska. There's Lincoln and Omaha. The rest of the cities, there's no way. There can't be more than,
Starting point is 00:30:33 there can't be more than four Walgreens in Nebraska. So do we know where this person is filling prescriptions? No, we don't. No, it doesn't say. Anyway, because they're pissed. The Walgreens, the pharmacies are pissed. Anyway, you're out of Broken Bow, the far western end. I love that. That's where my Stepdad was born out there in a far western end,
Starting point is 00:30:54 so I'm very well aware of where Broken Bow is. And he was just saying that there's some local pharmacies there. I mean, Joe and Millie have had that pharmacy in Broken Bow for the last 50 years that they inherited from their great grandparents back in the Depression. So it's the same. It's the same. No, no.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I don't even know where to go with this. Can I just tell you real quick, a fun fact that I learned on my trip? Just you got a second here? It doesn't have anything to do with the Braves, does it? Because they didn't make the World Series, so let's move the hell on. No, no. The Rangers are going to win the World Series. It's in Valentine, Nebraska, okay?
Starting point is 00:31:31 Valentine Nebraska. It's out in the San Hills. Okay. And until 1967, the city of Valentine, Main Street was the line of demarcation for the mountain time zone and the central time zone. Oh, I think we talked about this. Did we talk about this already? I'm turning into Joe Biden. Not on this show.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Not on, definitely not on chewing. So, until I do, they would fight. They would like, oh, yeah, well, it's seven o'clock here. Oh, yeah, screw you at six o'clock. And the post office trying to be peacemaker. And they were like, yeah, it's 630 at the post office. Can you imagine a town trying to, maybe that's why you're still only 2,000 people. It's because it took you 100 years to agree on a time zone.
Starting point is 00:32:09 That's good stuff. So anyway, it's central. They decided, all right, we got to get our shit together. Nobody wants to live in Mountain. What are you? Mount's the greatest time zone. Nobody wants to barely live in central. I mean, Eastern Time Zone is the zone to be in.
Starting point is 00:32:23 That's the way it is. Life revolves around Eastern Time Zone. All right, thank you. I appreciate the Lord of Rasp. I hope I helped. Me too. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining
Starting point is 00:32:52 means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Who died today? Who died today? who died today. Tyler Christopher.
Starting point is 00:33:09 I know, it's not his real name. There's no way someone has that name given to them by birth. Tyler Christopher, dead at 50. Tyler was a big-time, big-time soap opera actor, General Hospital, days of our lives. He died in San Diego as a result of a cardiac event.
Starting point is 00:33:30 So it did have anything to do with that? There's no reason for you to say anything. He don't need to look at me like that. Just know that it was a cardiac event. And he's dead. It could have been brought on by anything other than, well, an event. They put him into a heart attack.
Starting point is 00:33:52 He was, he'll always be remembered as a truly talented individual that lit up the screen in every scene he performed and relished bringing joy to his loyal. fans through his acting. I mean, I looked at his, he did, he did, uh, almost 1,200 episodes of general hospital. He did, uh, hundreds, a couple hundred episodes of days of our lives. I mean, that's, that's doing some work, man. Let's make a little extra cash. Uh, making a little cash. He was, and he was, he was in his, uh, San Diego apartment, or he was, you know, they found him in a San Diego department. Uh, and, uh, with, uh, and they used to, and he's,
Starting point is 00:34:32 claimed a cardiac event. I mean, they're usually unknown causes, but they threw that out there with the cardiac event, which means, well, it means nothing, is what it means. So you don't have to look at me like that. Tyler Christopher dead
Starting point is 00:34:47 at the age of 50. Then we have this North Dakota woman. I love it's murder for money. And the words of Ben Matlock. Murder is a messy business. Okay. And so this North Dakota Tota woman, fatally poisoned her boyfriend
Starting point is 00:35:05 after learning his plans to dump her because he was going to inherit $30 million. So you inherit in $30 million, and now you're thinking about dumping me? No, that's not going to happen. So she was arrested and charged for the murder of Stephen Edward Riley Jr. and it was all four financial motives.
Starting point is 00:35:34 And the one police officer really makes you think why he's a police officer in North Dakota. Because he said the case was extremely complex. No, it wasn't. He was going to inherit some money. He was going to dump her and move on with his life and she was having none of it
Starting point is 00:35:52 and poisoned him and killed him. That's all. It's not complex at all. Sorry, Captain. Dale Plessis of the Mano Police Department of North Dakota. So it's not that complex, bro. Okay? So Riley became ill when he met with his lawyer September 3rd.
Starting point is 00:36:16 So she knew he was meeting with the lawyer to get the money, started poisoning. And it was $30 million. I don't know where he got the $30 million inheritance. I don't know if I've ever told anyone this or not. but Stephen Edward Riley Jr. As my closest cousin. In fact, we may even be stepbrothers. So no one ever, no one knows that.
Starting point is 00:36:40 I never said anything to anyone, but you never know. So the next day, when paramedics arrive to find Riley unresponsive in his home because he died in the hospital the next day, the autopsy said he was killed by ingesting antifreeze. He's a grubhub guy? drinking antifreeze and urine? Amazing.
Starting point is 00:37:03 So the lady said that we're not married, but we were common law married. And the records, you know, she believed that she got the money. However, in North Dakota, common law not happening. It doesn't work, which is really strange. You think it would. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:37:27 So he revealed. plans to break off the romance shortly after receiving the money and no we're going to force you to drink antifreeze and kill you. Kind of sad actually. It couldn't work out something. It didn't work out something? I mean
Starting point is 00:37:47 we had this, this lady poisoned hubby with antifreeze, holy cow, nasty. Then last week we had remember we had the poisoning, the wife had killed the hubby and then tried to have the body cremated because she was planning on cashing in the 500,000 life insurance policy again, financial motives.
Starting point is 00:38:09 And then we had the Utah lady Wright who tried to poison her husband with the fentanyl lace drink or whatever because she wanted to cash in. She wanted to sell the house. Yeah, because he wouldn't sell the house for millions of dollars. I mean, women are starting to get a little, just saying. I was just saying, maybe you ought to, just be careful out there. If you come into a lot of money, don't say anything.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Good rule of thumb. If you win the lottery, did you win? Nope. Sure is an awful nice car, though, isn't it? Yes, it is. Is that a nice new wife? No, it is not. You better not have any missed calls on your phone from the wife.
Starting point is 00:38:58 I'll tell you that. better not happen. I was reading a this is kind of a joke of the day but not really. It's a paper that says statistics don't lie. And it says the average duration of a phone call.
Starting point is 00:39:13 All right. Boy to boy 59 seconds. Boy to mom 50 seconds. It says here mum. So this is obviously a UK joke. Boy to dad 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Boy to girl. One hour and 23 minutes, 59 seconds. I might disagree with that one too. Girl to girl, five hours, 29 minutes, and 59 seconds. Husband to wife. Three seconds. Mom to married daughter. 10 hours, 50 minutes, 59 seconds.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Wife to husband. 14 missed calls. Don't drink the antifreeze. But, you know, if you do drink the antifreeze, I'm sure the story will be up on the new blaze. Have you checked it out yet? Thenewblaze.com? I know.

Starting point is 00:41:54 Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details. I am really excited to have an opportunity to talk to Peter Malfi. Peter is the founder, CEO, head guru, Grand Puba, of the... the Florida man games. I saw a post about the Florida man games and I was like, wait, what? They're going to have a Florida man games? And so I had to talk to the person who started it all and created and it is making it happen. Peter Melfy, welcome to chewing the fat. How in the world are you, sir?
Starting point is 00:42:30 Hey, Jeff, it's great to talk to you, man. I'm doing great, brother. How are you? I am. It's embarrassing how good I am. First of all. I could go on for hours to tell you how good I am, but that'd be embarrassing for you with me, so we'll just have enough of that. So I appreciate you coming on. So the Florida Man Games is going to take place the first of next year, which is just around the corner, right? I mean, it happens in February, right?
Starting point is 00:42:53 Yeah, it's going to be happening February 24th right here in St. Augustine. Boy, it's fast approaching, but I'm excited. I wish it were tomorrow. I'm ready to do this thing. So St. Augustine, beautiful city. I mean, I lived in Tampa Bay for a lot of years and visited St. Augustine multiple times, and I easily
Starting point is 00:43:10 a city that I could live in. I love it. I'm surprised. I was amazed that that was actually the city that's going to be used. Are you having the event at the fort or where is the event taking place in St. Augustine? That would be great. I know. Yeah, you know, the main reason it's happening in St. Augustine is because I live here.
Starting point is 00:43:30 It's the easiest for me to put it on here. But also, you know, people do travel. I don't know if you know that. People do travel. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, of course. And it's a beautiful place to spend some time,
Starting point is 00:43:42 but there have been a lot of big battles, a lot of historic battles. Yes, there has. So we're going to have another big historic battle on February 24th. That's awesome. So now, since it is the Florida Man Games, and we'll get into what the games are and what the events are, but can you be from outside of Florida to be in the Florida bad games?
Starting point is 00:44:03 Absolutely not. We barely want people from outside of Florida visiting us out here. Jeff, what are you talking about? Awesome. Okay, I like it. I like it. All right. Fine. I have a feeling some people from Georgia are going to sneak in. That's just me guessing. I don't know. Well, hey, look, we're going to be checking IDs out there, okay? So they can try. But they've also got to submit videos to enter this thing. Oh, I got to tell you, I don't even think a Georgia man could put together a video worthy of Florida. Oh, actually, I think you may be right. But I won't. I don't want to say.
Starting point is 00:44:39 that out loud. So you're looking for teams and individuals to take part in these events. How many different events are there? We've got five events, all really themed after the absolute wild and crazy headlines that we see here in Florida. Five events, 16 teams of five. Yeah. So the event is going to be just a day-long event? Yeah, it'll be a day long. We're going to start it. We're going to open the gates around nine, and we probably won't get out of there until after 10 o'clock. Right. So it's going to be a full day of just wild, dirty, messy, fun Florida style. So if I should go to the website, the Florida mangames.com.
Starting point is 00:45:31 That's it. And check it out so you can enter yourself or a team for different events. now there's going to be judges for each event different judges same judges who's judging these events to know if i'm going to become the winner of the florida man games well i'll tell you what two people that are judging all the events they know something about crazy wild competition and that's uh former american gladiators dan nitro clark and lori ice fettrick i figured who better to judge this thing than a couple of American gladiators. They've been through it. They've been through it.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Did you see the documentary? That was, it was wild. I did. So are we going to be, okay, so I could show up and spend the day in St. Augustine, which I'm not opposed to, by the way.
Starting point is 00:46:23 But am I going to be able to, do you have a Florida Man Games website that I, on the website, am I already going to be streaming the events? Are you have a deal with YouTube? Do you have a deal with some streaming company to stream this? Boy, I wish I was cool enough to get a deal with somebody, but we are planning on, we are
Starting point is 00:46:41 planning on streaming it for sure. At the very least, what we're planning on now is streaming it on our website. Yeah, that's what I do during the day as I do a lot of video production. So we definitely plan on bringing this to people all over the world. You have social media accounts, right? I mean, the Florida Man Games, I believe I followed you on X and Facebook and Instagram, So, I mean, one of those could actually probably post some of your live videos as well. I'm just thinking out of the box.
Starting point is 00:47:13 You know how much those platforms like to censor things. When we're talking about Florida, man, I don't know how long we'd last. Maybe we'd have a chance. I'm saying. I think Elon lets that go. Yeah, yeah. I think he does. He might have to plan on that.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Yeah. I think he does. All right. So one of the events that people can register, to get into like for teams and singles. So for singles, pretty much it's a team thing that everybody's going to be kind of watching the whole day long. We're going to have different events spread throughout the whole day.
Starting point is 00:47:49 And those are what the teams of five will compete in. But everybody who's got a ticket to get into the games will have their own version of the games that they can challenge their friends and family to during the day. Oh, nice. But one of my family. But those aren't, those are just for fun. not part of the opportunity to become the actual Florida man. The Gatorhead trophy winner, right, right.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Gatorhead trophy winner. Nice. I like that. That would be a Gatorhead trophy. I like that. Absolutely. Do you, I mean, who, now this, tell me Gatorland is one of the sponsors of this. Tell me, come on.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Oh, man, you took a nail on the head. Yeah, Gatorland's going to be out there doing Gator demonstrations. Awesome. Take selfies with live Gator. That is my, one of my favorite theme. Parks in America is Gatorland. I'm happy to hear that. They're so awesome.
Starting point is 00:48:39 And they were pumped to be part of this event. They were, you know, it's right up there out. Heck, yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. So one of the events that people are going to be taken apart of that a lot of people are talking about is the evading arrest obstacle.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Yeah, that'll be fun to watch. One of the big twists on this is obviously that we have real police officers chasing our contestants. Oh, nice. Oh, yeah. Nice. So you're really going to get a chance to live the day and the life of a Florida man headline out there. So exciting to some people.
Starting point is 00:49:13 So seriously, now it's not obviously I made the joke of it being at the fort, but it's not going to be at the fort, right? Because you're going to have to, if you're doing this obstacle course, you're going to have, what, fences and yards and bushes and everything that people have to run through to evade police, right? Exactly. Yeah. So we're doing this at the main event field here in downtown St. Augustine, which is Francis Field. field. And that's got a capacity of about 20,000 people. We're not expecting. I would love it if we have 20,000 people. I don't know that we'll get there. But we could. With all the attention, yeah, with all the attention this thing's gotten, we might just get there.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Heck, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So that's where it's going to be our main events field out there in St. Augustine. Great, great place right in the heart of downtown. So when people are there when they're done, you know, they got they got a beautiful setting to go and walk around. Well, that's good to know. But at the end of the day after the Florida Man Games, you're pretty much exhausted. I mean, you're going to be exhausted. You're going to want to sit down and take a breather for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:50:13 If you don't get taken out in an ambulance, you'll be ready to go to sleep. That is outstanding. So you're looking, just go to the website, the Florida Man Games.com, and you can get all the information as the games take place on February 24th. How are the
Starting point is 00:50:30 how are the registration coming? Getting a lot of teams, a lot of single people, ready to go? Oh, yeah. Yeah, we got over 200 people. It's been tough to keep track up, but we've definitely got over 200 entries, probably at this point, 75 that I haven't even been able to check on yet. Did you expect? Yeah, did you expect the excitement, or did you think that this was just going to kind of be a little thing that you'd put together and have a little bit of fun and say in Augustine and, you know, just kind of go from there? Yeah, that's where it started. We planned on definitely having a wild day, but
Starting point is 00:51:03 really had no idea that there would be this level of excitement around it. So again, I can't argue with it. I'm not mad at it, you know. We're going to have a lot of fun and there's going to be a lot of really cool people in on this thing with us. So I'm excited.
Starting point is 00:51:19 I feel a little robbed. I'm looking at the website here and I don't see the Gatorhead trophy that I could win if I become Florida. I know. Did you say that like you know? Like, I want to know what trophy I'm getting Is there a cash prize with it? What's happening?
Starting point is 00:51:34 I know it. Yeah, there is going to be a cash prize. Okay. We're giving up the cash prize. We're going to make it, we're going to give people even more money. Nice. And that Gatorhead trophy, we definitely, I had a meeting about this yesterday. We need to get a picture of that.
Starting point is 00:51:48 We need to get that in our hands and get that up on the website for sure. Absolutely. I want to see the Gatorhead trophy. I want to see you can have the sponsorships on the base, whatever you need. But that needs to be seen. We need to know what we're. fighting for. I'm with you. I'm with you. Peter, this is awesome. Now, I want to thank you for coming on today and talking to me. I really
Starting point is 00:52:11 appreciate it. I was so excited to talk to you. I want to be sure that as we get closer to the event, we talk again so that we can see where we're at as far as the registrations and what kind of news we're getting as far as people showing up for the event. I was hoping you can still have an opportunity to become a part of the Florida Man games or show up to just enjoy the day. You're going to have, you know, barbecues and other fun things, events around the actual Florida Man competitions. So you're going to be looking at a mechanical gator, by the way, a mechanical riding gator. I had to have that out there.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Nice. Nice. So Gatorlands not going to let you ride one, a real one. We tried. We tried. I really fought for that. But in the end, them or my insurance company also, I'm having that one. I bet.
Starting point is 00:53:07 You can bring a pool, let them feed them some chickens. It's all. Don't worry about it. It'll be awesome. There you go. I'll put that on your insurance policy. Oh, yeah. Man, look at the time.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Look at the time, Peter. I'd love to talk to you some more, but we are. Peter, are you there? Hello? Hey, Peter, thank you very much for coming out today, man. I really appreciate it. Hey, it was a pleasure. I appreciate the opportunity.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Thank you so much. Definitely. If you want to talk again closer to the event, I'd love to do it. Absolutely. Anytime we get, anytime that we have new information that you want to share, just reach out. I'm happy to talk to you. Thank you. Thank you.
