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.
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,
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,
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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?
Did you know that raw goat milk makes our soap special?
When I say our soap, yeah, I'm talking about Quinn Pittman's goat soap.
Okay, most people who buy soap from the store don't realize what is doing to their skin.
Store-bought soap will get you clean.
but while it's doing that, it's also kind of drying out your skin.
You know that.
And of course, then you have to buy there are other products,
the lotions and stuff that, you know, made by the same company.
Amazing how that works.
Soap that doesn't do that when it's made the right way with goat milk.
Hello.
That's what Quinn Pittman discovered when he first started learning about soap.
And he's been making it the right way ever since.
So if you want your skin to be clean,
but also to retain its moisture, you need goat soap.
and you'll want Quinn's goat soap.

So another world record goes down
The largest
grilled cheese
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,
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.
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.
pounds measuring five feet a wide 10 feet long and two and two point four inches thick so i have a feeling that
uh cabot creamery is going to get their going to get their record back they're not going to let this
stand i'm going to let two young punks from wisconsin and their youtube channel beat their record
their cabot creamery we're cabbage cheese what are we talking about we have to own the record so
i'm sure that the fight is on but until then congratulations to exodus and
as they hold the record for the world's largest grilled cheese sandwich.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I could use a grilled cheese sandwich, as a matter of fact.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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

reviews and they're priced just right. You get quality audio at half the price of other premium
audio brands. I love the noise isolation awareness mode and the high fidelity audio features.
I love my racons. My whole family. In fact, I got the first pair of recons and that went,
ended up going to my daughter. And then I got the second pair of recons. And that went ahead and went
to my wife. And then I got the third pair of recons, which I still.
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.
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,

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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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,
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.

Who died today?
Who died today?
who died today.
Tyler Christopher.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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?
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?
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
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
