Blaze Radio Network And now Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher You may want to start looking through your basement or through your closets because an unopened case

of ice hockey cards found in a basement office just sold for $3.1 million. It was an unopened case 16 boxes, 48 cards in each box. It's 4.1 million.

from the hockey action cards with bubble gum, one big series, from a company that doesn't even exist anymore in Canada. So the family who discovered the case, hidden in their Saskatchewan office, were ecstatic at the sale. Yeah, no kidding. A whole box for a little over $3 million. Now, I'm sure that the person who purchased it is planning on making more than $3.1 million. So it went up for auction at heritage auctions in Dallas, Texas.

And I mean, one of the cards that could possibly be in the box, and they think that there could be, I don't know, like 20 to 30 of these cards in this box, one of the cards alone sold for 3.75 million three years ago, a Wayne Gretzky. card. So there, and there may be, you know, at least 20, possibly 30 of those cards in this box. Pretty incredible. So, I mean, 16 boxes, 48 packs a box, 14 cards a pack. So that's over 10,000 total cards. And they were originally intended to be sold to large stores who would open them and sell the individual packs to customers. And they've all been, they were all, you know, authenticated. before the auction.

Really? Yeah. So it was discovered when the father was clearing out his office with the help of his son. And the father is an old school collector who bought the sealed case years ago intending to open it and build sets of cards to sell, but simply never got around to it. And the family, I guess, is asked to remain anonymous. But, man, if there's ever a, I mean, I know for sure. don't have one of these boxes stashed away,

but I do have a lot of baseball, football, hockey, basketball cards, and every time I do one of these stories, I'm mad at myself for not going through them, because I've got to have one that's worth three or four

bucks, and that makes me want to go through them. But this particular box, incredible, $3.1 million. If you've got an unopened box, of any kind of sports cards, now is the time to put them up for auction.

Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Whole lot of banning going on. Banning. By banning, I mean, yeah, you're going to go ahead and be banned from the sport that you are participating in. So the American women's cycling team,

Sineska, was suspended. And, okay, so suspensions are not. Not bands, I know. But pretty close. They were suspended by the sports governing body for fraud, for addressing a team mechanic as a rider to avoid disqualification from a race. So the group, Sineska, their bicycle, their women's cycling team, was a one rider short to be eligible for the Belgium Argentine.

the Belgium Argenta classic. You don't want to be able, you don't want to miss that. You don't want to miss the Belgium Argenta Classic and they didn't. So the team sporting director, Danny Van Hout, instructed the team to go ahead and deceive race officials

and lie about the whereabouts of the fifth rider. So all four of the other riders told officials, yeah, she's too ill to participate. However, they still required all five riders to sign the start sheet and be at the start of the race to participate in the event because you don't want to miss the Belgium Argenta classic. And so he directed the team mechanic to wear riders clothes and a face mask and present herself

at the start and sign the start sheet as the team's fifth rider. So they all found out that this happened and they therefore have been found guilty because they participated in a fraud under Article 12.4.008 of the UCI regulations with different levels of implication, of course. Management and staff members were completely unaware of this fraud attempt, and the team has said we've terminated all current and future relationships with Van Haught and Barrett. So we understand that the need for disciplinary action has to be taken. And this was just a one-time rogue director and we're good to go.

Okay. So they just completely suspended Van Haught, the guy who came up with the idea, from cycling activities until December 31st of Vann Haute. next year, 2025. Barrett, who played an active role in the fraud, suspended until September of this year, and all the cyclers were just banned

for the next race. It's all. That's fine. And they were fined an unknown amount. So just no, we will not put up with fraud when you're trying to get into the Belgium Argenta Classic, because that will not stand.

That will not stand. Then we have the Russian skater. who has been banned from her sport for four years. Camilla Valivia. She claimed that a strawberry dessert contaminated by her grandfather's heart medication may have caused her to test positive on a doping test. Now, this is going to come as a surprise to you.

The sport's highest court? Yeah, they rejected the explanation. And they banned her for the sport for four years. Yeah, they left a 129 page detailed ruling And they explained why the three judges rejected the argument I don't know, maybe because they didn't believe that The grandpa dropped a medication into her strawberry dessert And then she ate the strawberry dessert

So according to The skater attorneys. A pill went into the dessert while he was preparing it and because there were crushed residues of this drug in the

dessert, that was you know, that's how come she tested positive for the banned heart medication. Now she was in the Olympics and in fact, once a

awards and those are long gone. Have a nice day. She helped the Russians win gold and was allowed to continue competing in the women's individual competition under intense scrutiny. And then she dropped a fourth place in that. But

new. Then after they tested everything, they were like, no, all of those are going to go away. And even if you're blaming it on your grandfather for making your test positive. Yeah, we don't believe you. And we're going to go ahead and strip the Russian team of the Olympic title.

And Japan was upgraded from bronze to silver. And the Russians were demoted to bronze after her scores were removed. So just be careful. If you're in competition, you don't want to have your grandparents drop up their medication in your dessert because you could test positive and then you're going to be banned. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great

deals on amazing gifts so you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rushes too.

And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals, we get the deals. You gift the good stuff. You see where my girl, Adriana, from The Sopranos, Dre de Mateo, I know is her real name.

She has been making all kinds of money on OnlyFans. And she's not taking any crap about it. Okay, good for her. She said that she went on OnlyFans to save her. home from foreclosure, and she only had $10 in her bank account. So whatever money she made from the Sopranos, long gone. Have a nice day. Apparently she had a lot of debts, and she was trying to take care of her mother who has dementia, bless her heart. And she was according, her story is, according to her, she was initially reluctant to join Onlyfans. And she revealed her,

racy uploads proved to be so lucrative that she managed to save her home from foreclosure within just five minutes of joining. And now she's launched her own business. That is awesome. She said she's been carb loading to get in shape for the money shots. And she said it saved us, her and her husband. Only fans saved my life 100%. She said that her and her husband had been talking. about maybe some kind of podcast, you know, doing the only fans because she didn't really

want to do it. And then she posted a picture that went viral and she said within the first five minutes and she is good to go. I mean, the original premise to open the only fans was her husband and I were going to do a podcast on, we figured that would be controversial. But we wanted to put it behind the paywall so not to be destroyed in the media for it. and that was going to be originally, you know, like him rubbing my feet because you have to add a little something for only fans in there.

But, no, no, she said, feels good to see these photos, and she's good to go. And she said, you know, look, there might be a touch up here or there. But the truth is, they videotape me going live when we do the photo shoots so fans can see the photo shoot happening in real time. So that's awesome. She revealed that her surprising pre-photo shoot diet were just carb loading.

I'm just being an Italian lady in the world eating spaghetti, pasta, and steak. You want your boobs to be big and your butt to be big. Otherwise, the photos are a snoozed fest. She was great in the Sopranos, too, and she was great until, well, we had to kill her. We had to kill her off. sorry sorry about it you know you went to the feds and then you tried to you know you tried to turn our boy

and no that could not happen we are not going to do that and that's one of my favorite episodes in fact of the sopranos when she tells Christopher that all we have to do is go to the FBI and they'll give us a new life and he's he actually considers it because he's been pissed at Tony for a while And he has actually slightly considers it, you know, after he tries to kill her and then decides not to. And then he goes out for a drive. And he sees a guy with his kids and his wife in a crappy old car. And he just looks completely unhappy. And Christopher realizes, I can't do that.

I'm not doing that. No. And then he, you know, gets with Tony in. We got to kill Adriana. So it's just the way it goes. Fantastic episode. Something about, I think the title is, airport,

long-term parking. That's what it is. It is an airport, long-term carping. Same thing. Great episode. Long-term parking on the Sopranos. Tremendous episode. Anyway, my girl doesn't need any money for sure.

Things are looking great as her only fans world is only getting bigger. Now, as for the rest of us, we may need to win the lottery. So if you're listening live, today is the 28th of February, 2024. Now, we have a drawing tonight with the Powerball that is worth $412 million jackpot, $195.5 million cash payout. And then we have the mega millions drawing, which is going to be Friday night. And that one is worth $607 million,

$286.9 million cash payout. And I just want to go on record as saying, that would help me, as much as OnlyFans, has helped Drea DiMetio, because I could use that very much. I know, you know, A lot of you could as well, but right now, I'm going to go ahead and just be concerned with me.

All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Raw goat milk makes soap special. Not all soap, just soap from QP Goatsoap.com.

I see the headline, Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan are going to embark on this 24 Outlaw Music Festival Tour this summer. And there's 25 dates across North America. Willie Nelson and family, the annual Outlaw Music Festival Tour, returns. And then when you read a little bit more,

John Mellencamp's going to be there too. I hope he just does his songs instead of yapping and telling me how bad America sucks. Because if I have to listen to him, yap, no. John, just do your music, okay? So he's going on the road again. Milly Nelson, country music legend 90. I remember we heard from his son the other day who had his equipment ripped off in Portland, I believe.

I hope he's got everything back. So the family band, Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Allison Krause, and John Mellencamp. Wow. That's a pretty big outlaw festival show. So it kicks off in June in Alpharetta, Georgia and continues throughout the summer before wrapping up in Buffalo, New York. 25 shows. So, and he's got a bunch of A-lister's

that are going to join the festival in and out of the summer, I guess, that you'll be able to see. You can check it out with the Outlaw Music Festival.com. They are not a sponsor of the show. I was looking at the dates. Will they be coming to Texas? This show originates in Dallas, Texas,

in DFW, the Metroplex, and I was just seeing if they're going to visit Texas. No, they're not coming to Texas. Willie and Bob might come here, but Melanchamp does not want to come to Texas because people in Texas will tell Melanchamp, hey, John, why don't you shut up and sing your songs? Okay?

We don't want to hear you yap anymore than your stupid songs. The closest they come to, they're going to be in St. Louis, Missouri. might be a good place to see them. They're going to be a pine knob. That'd be fun. Pine knob at Michigan. It's right outside of Detroit,

right there in Clarkston, Michigan. It's beautiful. I've seen a lot of music acts at Pine Nob at their music theater. And they have the they have the hill. You sit on, the unwashed masses sit back there up on the hill.

And that's the place. I actually saw a show. sitting on the hill left my keys there lost my keys at this concert and I didn't have a way to drive my car back

I mean I lived you know 100 miles away and a guy I wish I I could remember his name I can't and I've apologized to him before and I'm going to apologize again

I'm sorry I don't remember your name but you are a tremendous human being I'm in the parking lot with my other friends that went to the show with three other people there were four of us and i don't have my keys we went back inside the theater i looked around they were cleaning up you know they're cleaning up i'm sure two one of two things happened somebody picked them up and went

somebody forgot their keys uh wouldn't it be funny if i just kept them and they kept them no it wasn't funny at all or you know they just picked up and got picked up in the trash and you just never, they're just gone. So we're out in the park and I don't know what to do. This was, you know, this was 150 years ago. We were in a wagon train. I mean, there's no cell phones. And a guy pulls up and says, hey, what's going on?

What are you doing? And I was like, I lost my keys. They're not, I went back in. They let me back into the venue. I walked around. I tried to find him. No keys. And he goes, well, I'll give you a ride back.

So he gave myself and my friends a ride back to Saginaw, Michigan. which is quite a drive. In fact, according to this, it's an hour drive. Okay, with maybe no traffic. So it's about an hour. So it gives us a ride back. Then I have to go and get the keys,

which, by the way, I will say that I did enhance the drive back with some other things that I was involved in at the time that may or may not have been illegal at the time. now. Anyway, and so we took care of that, and then he drove me back to the car with the keys. Just fantastic. And so there, you know what, there's darn good humans out there. You just have to find him. Anyway, all that for the Outlaw Music Festival, which is coming with Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Allison Krauss, John Mellencamp, Billy Springs, Brittany Spencer, Salis, Southern Avenue. Actually, I've seen Willie Nelson before. He was great. I've seen Dylan. I've seen Dylan. before. I've seen all these guys

before, but I just I just want Mellencamp to zip it. Speaking of live music too, I'd see where a team of researchers at the University of Zurich led by Sasha Fruholz, professor

of cognitive and effective neuroscience, and I man, I love anyone who's involved in cognitive and effective neuroscience, has now explored the question live, does live music stimulate the effective brain more strongly? And they have determined that it does.

Listening to live music, concerts connect performers with their audience, which may also have a lot to do with evolutionary factors. Okay, but it triggers a strong emotional response. So live music is much better for you than listening to music, whether it be album, CD, music, whatever you're listening to. So it, go see live music. Go see live music. That's, you know, that's not just for me.

That's from Sasha Frules, the professor of cognitive and effective neuroscience at the University of Zurich. So during the experiment, researchers used magnetic renaissance imaging. That's an MRI to you people that, you know, are not hip to the professors of cognitive and effective neuroscience speak. To measure the activity in the amygdala, am I a megadala of the, that's part of your brain, of the 27 listeners.

I mean, I am like a scientist. They did 27 listeners as well as the performers in real time. And based on these measurements, the pianist then immediately adapted his performance to further intensify, the audience's emotions. So they got the neurofeedback loop, which is really cool, actually.

And look, this told us what we already knew, right? I mean, seeing live performances of bands, of any performers is so much better than listening to a recorded performance, except for this, except for this performance right here on chewing the fat, where you're listening to chewing the fat, and I'm like an emotional center for your brain.

I'm the only difference. I'm the outlier of this study. So you don't need to see it live. It'll be a part of it live. Although those of you listening live, you may be getting a better experience to chewing the fat than the other listeners, but only by a little bit.

Well, we'll start with Thomas Kingston. Thomas Kingston, and if you want to, this is a stretch, this is how you get a touch with the Royals, okay? Thomas Kingston, who is dead at 45, rest in peace. He is Pippa Middleton's ex-boyfriend and husband, to Lady Gabriela. So he is dead. He is dead at the age of 45.

We don't know. Cause of death is yet to be determined. He just fell ill, and emergency services were called to take care of him, and then he died. There's no suspicious circumstances. So it can't be that. If it was that, they would have said it in the story, for sure. Am I right?

Of course I am. So, rest in peace, Thomas Kingston, Pippa Middleton's ex-boyfriend and husband to Lady Gabriella, dead at the age of 45. Then we have Dan Wilcox, Dan Wilcox, dead at the age of 82. He was an Emmy-winning TV writer and producer who worked on MASH, the final series, is huge. Dan died on February 14th. I feel like we did this guy. I feel like I've already paid tribute to Dan

in who died today. But I don't want to I don't want to be smirched to the Wilcox family. So this is dated, the story is dated well, yesterday. But he died on the 14th that Cedar Sinai

Medical Center in Los Angeles and they were claiming that he died. of natural causes. So it can't be that. It can't be that. But I feel like we paid Dan his tribute because I remember talking about mentioning MASH.

Because that doesn't, it's not something that often comes up. MASH. I'm not opposed to talking about MASH, but I just haven't. Maybe a bunch of writers are just dropping over like flies. And this is just another one on the list. But rest in peace, Dan Wilcox, dead. at the age of 82. Oh, and we found out that Alexei Nelvani died of a blood clot.

All right. So why don't you people shut up? Vlad didn't have anything to do with it. It was the natural causes. And he had a blood clot. Okay. So why don't you just shut up about Vladimir Putin killing people? Because this has been documented.

by and it's been documented by the Soviet Union and documented by uh hoor um the h ural's ministry of defense the main direct it of intelligence who don't even give me started on that uh that uh alexei nilvani died of a blood clot so how about you shut up about it okay And it couldn't have been any of it. It couldn't have been Vlad. It couldn't have been that. It was just a blood clot. It says so in the story.

So there. And I know we did him. I know I paid tribute to him. So, I mean, Alexei and Elvani dead at the age of 47. Rest in peace. I guess, you know, we could pay our respects again. All right. I did not know this.

All right, I did. The Lady Bird Lake in Austin stretches six miles through Austin and it looks more like a river than a lake. It was built in 1960. Reaches a depth of about 18 feet and is largely used for recreational purposes. Police have found

10 bodies in the past 20 months. 10 bodies in the past 20 months. Austin has a serial killer. And they're trying to poo-poo it, saying no, no, no, no. No, we don't have a serial killer, but I, we got a serial killer in Austin. I mean, it's a dumping ground. If you know anything about serial killers, it's a dumping ground.

So there's a list, I mean, they have a list of when the bodies were found going, you know, back, what did I say, 20 months? And according to the medical examiner, a lot were accidental drownings. Oh, okay. We're just pulling bodies out. And all of those were accidental? I think not. I think not at all. Now, apparently we are calling the serial killer

the rainy street ripper. I don't know. I don't know that I like it. I don't know that I like it. So this rainy street is where, you know, a big part of the river is, and that's a nightclub strip there in Austin. So, you know, they're, you know, people, they claim get drunk and wander off of Rainy Street,

and then that's how they drown or, you know, get picked up by the serial killer. Couldn't we call it like the Lady Bird Lake Killer or the Lake Killer, you know, the Lady Bird Killer? The Rainy Street Ripper. Ripper is so old and such a has-been name. It just seems like, I mean, the Rainy Street Killer maybe. but the Rainy Street Ripper we can do better than that speaking of murders

I see where a federal jury in New York yesterday convicted two men in the 2002 murder of Jason Mazzle also known as Jam Master Jay from Run DNC duh he made up the

he made up one third of the run DMC that's how that worked there was three of them and he was one of them Anyway, he was shot and killed in Queens at the age of 37. Rest in peace. The case remained unsolved for decades and for lack of evidence, but they found some DNA. And so Carl Jordan Jr., 40, and Ronald Washington, 59, were found guilty on charges of murder

while engaged in a narcotics trafficking conspiracy and firearm-related murder. Jordan, Mazzle's godson, and Washington, Moselle's childhood friend, targeted him after being cut out of a drug deal reportedly worth a couple hundred thousand dollars.

So they didn't like it too much, and so they murdered him. Yeah, that's what you do. You cut me out of a drug deal? Yeah, you're going down. So they face a maximum sentence of life in prison. There's a third man, Jay Bryant, whose DNA was found at the scene.

There's another trial for him. in 2026. I'm guessing he may plead a deal now that these two were convicted because things are now looking good for the trial of that. I mean, run DMC.

I mean, that was, I mean, one of the huge hip-hop groups, right? They were it. They brought the genre to the mainstream in the mid-90s. I mean, they worked with Adidas, they worked with Aerosmith,

the world knew who run DMC was, which is why he was working a deal. It was why he was working a drug deal that was going to, you know, benefit a couple hundred thousand dollars. But he cut out his friends and his relatives, a bastard. But he didn't deserve to die. No one deserves to die. So rest in peace to Jason Mazzle and good riddance to the two murderers who killed him.

So I see where Sony's PlayStation Division is going to lay off 900 employees. That's roughly 8% of its workforce. They missed their sales target for the PS5 console, so sorry about it.

Got to go. Disney's film production president, Sean Bailey, he's out. Have a nice day. I mean, look, he didn't do anything right for Disney for, I mean, quite a while. He's been with Disney for 15 years, at least in this position. And so I say he didn't do anything right. He did do, you know, a few things right. But in the last year or two, he was responsible for, I don't know, some of the shows that didn't work.

at all for Disney, like all of them. And so he had to go. Hey, hey, what have you done for me lately? All right? I know you brought in big productions and made us, you know, billions for a movie or two, but that was 10 years ago.

You're doing nothing for us now. So why don't you just get out? And he did. Then I see where Warner Brothers and Discovery broke off the merger talks. I'm sorry, it's Warner Brothers Discovery. They broke off merger talks with Paramount Global. Wow.

Because I thought that was going to be a done deal. So, no. Paramount Global says, yeah, we're walking away. It started to heat up, but Paramount Chair, Sherry Redstone, has made no secret that the embattled company is for sale. Yeah, she wants out. She wants the money. And so we'll see.

But that deal with Warner Brothers Discovery, that broke off. Holy cow. So that's up. Look, if you got a couple extra bucks, you don't know what to do, sit down to the table because Redstone wants to sell. So she's ready to deal. She's ready to deal. Then we have Chevron said that it's $53 billion deal to buy Hess. Maybe a jeopardy because ExxonMobil and China's big oil company,

Cenoch, or I think that's their name, is challenging the acquisition. So there's a big fighting going on. I mean, look, these companies are all battling. The FTC is busy. They're busy cracking down on Kroger and Albertsons' acquisition. It's actually Kroger buying Albertsons. They're looking at that.

They're cracking down on that. cracking down on H&R Block. H&R Block, they're pissed that H&R Block. So if you went to H&R Block and you said, yeah, I want this particular plan to help me with my taxes, and then you realized that you didn't need that plan, those bastards at H&R Block made it difficult for you to buy a cheaper version. You were the ones. You said you wanted it.

Now because you realize you didn't need it and now you want your money back. It's just incredible to me. I mean, I don't work for H&R Block because they don't do commercials for me, but it's just, you know, it's incredible to be that I go to H&R Block and I say, I look at all their things that they offer. They offer some free tax services and then you purchase other tax services. and I see, oh, that's the service I need. And then once I get that service, I realize, oh, I really didn't need that service. And that's HR and R Block's fault?

Okay. Okay. If you say so. All right, I can't talk. My voice has shot's been gone all down and what is going on. I better not be getting some kind of plague because if I am, I'm going to be very, very angry. So I'll leave you with a joke of the day

and then we'll get the heck out of here. So an old man sitting on his front. porch, you know, just sitting in his rocket chair. She's a little kid go by hauling a roll of chicken wire. Says, hey, what are you going to, what are you doing with that chicken wire? And the little kid says, I'm going to catch me some chickens. And the old man says, you can't catch any chickens with that chicken wire.

The kid's like, okay. And he goes, off he goes. A few hours later, back comes the kid. He's got like a dozen chickens attached to the chicken wire. And the old man's like, wow, okay. So the next day, here comes a kid walking by the house again. He's got a big roll of duct tape.

The old man says, hey, what are you doing? I'm just going. I'm going to catch me some ducks. And the old man says, you can't catch any ducks with duct tape. And the kid says, okay. And off he goes. A few hours later, here he comes back.

He's got like half a dozen ducks and his roll of duct tape. And the old man goes, wow, that's something. The next day, here comes the kid. Walking by the house again. He's got an arm full of pussy willows. The old man looks at him and says,

hold on, let me get my jacket. Hold on, let me get my jacket. Get it? Yeah, you get it. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
