With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. A couple of weeks ago, we talked about the company in Texas energy transfer that was suing green peasant. USA for $300 million.

And Greenpeace was crying that if they lost this case, they would have to go belly up. Well, the suit accuses Greenpeace, its grant-making arm, and Greenpeace International, of trespassing, defamation, and financial harm over their support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribes, 2016-2017, non-violent protests against the Dakota Access Pipelines construction. Okay.

Now, there's plenty of organizations that are condemning this lawsuit. Okay. Well, yesterday, the jury reached a verdict in the case, and they ordered Greenpeace to pay more than $660 million in damages to the pipeline company energy transfer out of Dallas. Oh, okay. The lawsuit of that defamation as well as trespass, a nuisance of civil conspiracy in relation to the protests of the Dakota Pipeline Access Pipeline. Yeah, the nine-person jury took two days and awarded them $660 million. Now, obviously, Greenpeace will appeal this, but if they lose, they will, I mean, there's no way that they can afford $660 million. And earlier they were crying that $300 million would shut them down.

So everyone who says if you're on Greenpeace's side, peaceful protest is an inherent American right. Uh-huh. But it isn't unless it's violent, destructive. That is completely unlawful and unacceptable, which we're seeing in other entities of our life as we speak. So just know, dry your eyes that a jury heard the case and then ruled on the case saying that Greenpeace was guilty.

And they said, yep, you know what? You owe this company $660 million. So talk to you later, Greenpeace. Have a nice day. And not right away. But pretty soon, Greenpeace may have to go away. Sad, sad day. Welcome.

Welcome to Chewing the Fat. This story makes me so angry. And I think we talked about this before, but now it's come to fruition even more. So the Texas woman, who used the jackpocket app that allows you to buy lottery tickets and scratch-offs over the phone of this online courier service, who won $83.5 million in the jackpot from the Texas lottery, now they're saying, hey, she might not get her money. No? Holy cow.

So the Texas Rangers are investigating this lottery drawing. And, you know, we heard from Ken Paxson, the Attorney General and the governors who directed the Texas Rangers. Greg Abbott directed the Texas Rangers to investigate her lottery win. Oh, okay. Well, she just used a courier service. was legal at the time. I know that Paxton wants to get rid of it. Probably Abbott does too. I don't know how much money the Texas lottery makes for the state of Texas.

I'm sure it's in the billions. I don't know if the education gets it all, but of which I'm sure it doesn't. Because I mean, there's absolutely you have to have salaries. You're not working for the Texas lottery for free. Anyway, so now they're investigating this, this courier app group. And it is now they've, said that it's not legal to use these courier apps where you send in yeah uh you know you buy me twenty dollars worth of tickets and then they take a cut of your winnings and so she won the $83.5 million and they're trying not to pay it out that is so wrong unbelievable they're pissed because prior to her winning back in 2023 there was a group that spent more than 20, $25 million on tickets and bought almost every combination of numbers.

And they purchased the tickets from four different retailers that work with courier services. And so they won. Oh, okay. So now they were mad because they spent about $25 million and they won, I think it was $95 million, to this Rock, Texas group that did this. bulk purchases. Now that, you know, the lottery is going after the bulk purchasing, and they're also going after the courier apps.

And I, you know, I get it. I understand the process of why they're angry. And that's fine. If you want to make it illegal, make it illegal. Make it so they have to be, you know, in-person purchases, whether it be the scratch-off or the regular Texas lottery. But, you know, you want to direct, putting people out of business. is what Texas is doing.

Companies trying to make money by doing things that other people just won't do and we're shutting them down. But this lady at the time was just using this app. She spent $20. She wasn't trying to scam anyone. She was just buying lottery tickets

through this courier service, sent them the $20. And she won. And now they're trying to say that she's not going to get the $83.5 million. No. that is completely unacceptable for any state, let alone the state of Texas.

So we'll see. We'll see what happens. I know that she, they said they normally take, you know, three or four days after they show up with the winning ticket. So it's been a couple of days since she showed up with the ticket. And now that they have this investigation going, they will pause, I guess, a little bit of the payout. But if the story is exactly as we're being told.

if the Texas lottery renegs on paying this money $83.5 million, they should just shut it down. And I know many people want to shut it down anyway, even though they, then they realize, well, wait, it brings in billions of dollars. Well, we don't want to shut it down.

We just want to make it less likely that people will win. So that has to stop. This woman deserves her money. The one thing about the lottery is that gives everybody hope. I know the odds are forever, in your favor. I get it. But it does give you a little bit of hope,

and that's the one thing we have left. And you start taking hope away from us, man, now, now, well, you know. I mean, we may as well stay in Texas. We started with the company that won their case against Greenpeace, the energy transfer out of Dallas. And then we talked about the Texas lottery, who's trying to screw this lady out of her.

83.5 million dollar jackpot winnings. Then we have an Atlas Energy Solutions company here in Texas that's taking truckers jobs away. I mean, come on now. Truckers, no one supports truckers more than myself or this show. I talked a little bit about this yesterday on chewing the fat during Pat Gray-on-leased program. And I just wanted to remind people that this company, Atlas Energy Solutions, taking jobs away from truckers. They built this 42-mile conveyor belt that stretches through Texas into New Mexico

and it transports millions of tons of sand for fracking. And so the company calls it the Dune Express. Isn't that cute? Yeah. This is jobs that truckers were hauling sand for and now they're gone. And in one video that I saw, the owner was being interviewed or one of the people with the Atlas Energy Solutions

was being interviewed. And he talked about 50% of their trucking now is taken away thanks to Dune Express, this 42-mile conveyor belt. I don't even care about the, you know, disrupting natural habitats with some of the endangered species. Ooh, the animals will have to move somewhere else. Some of those animals will move under the conveyor belt, you know, for shade. but that's another story.

But heaven forbid, we encourage more fracking. Yeah, okay, calm down. But we need the oil, okay? But I just feel like this company has taken jobs away from truckers, and I don't like it, not one single bit. Maybe if you offered the truckers that were hauling the sand jobs to take care of the upkeep of this conveyor belt, then maybe, you know, maybe we'll talk. but for right now, just taking the jobs away from the truckers?

No. Unacceptable. Okay. One last story from Texas that is kind of cool, actually. I kind of like it. So NASDAQ has said that it's going to open regional headquarters in Texas. It's going to be here in Dallas. So the show originates from DFW.

And they're all happy that NASDAQ is moving. They're opening new headquarters. They're regional headquarters in Texas. But I don't know who came up with. with the name, but I love it. So the NASDAQ from Wall Street is moving to Texas, so it's now going to be Y'all Street. I wish that was me that came up with that.

It wasn't, but whoever did, genius. So NASDAQ from Wall Street is going to open up regional headquarters in Texas, and we're calling it Y'all Street.

So what sounds like kind of a plot out of a horror movie,

researchers are stuck on this remote research base in Antarctica and they sent an email out saying, help, a colleague is accused of assault. Oh, what? Yeah. The urgent email was sent by a researcher at South Africa's isolated base in Antarctica. First of all,

what's South Africa doing with an isolated base in Antarctica? but that's another story. One of the nine team members, they accused of becoming violent and mentally unstable. In the email sent to a journalist at South Africa's Sunday Times newspaper,

love them. He said, who has not been identified, request immediate action to ensure the team's safety. Now, according to the Times, the researcher alleged that the male team member had physically assaulted a colleague,

threatened to kill a different colleague, and sexually assaulted, another. They're going mad at this Antarctica base for South Africa. Now, South African officials have said now, oh, no, the report of sexual assault was not correct. Oh, okay. So there was no sexual assault, but the physical assault and the threatening to kill the other colleagues, that was real, just not the sexual assault. Okay. So apparently his behavior became increasingly egregious and they're experiencing significant difficulty. Now, South Africa's Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and Environment, love them,

released a statement saying the alleged assault at the base was reported and it triggered a response plan that saw the government agency used trained professionals to mediate. Oh, that's special. Trained professionals brought in by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and Environment for South Africa. The department said that the mediators continue to engage with the team at the base on and almost daily basis.

Not every day, but almost every day. According to the agency, the alleged perpetrator had willingly participated in further psychological evaluation, has shown remorse, and is willingly cooperative to follow any interventions that are recommended. Uh-huh.

The statement went on to say that the male perpetrator had written an apology to the victim. Oh, that's special. Don't they work together? They're at the right one? and was willing to verbally apologize to the other team members. Yeah, maybe you just verbally apologize to everyone.

That's just me. Anyway, the situation according to the South African Environment Minister, Love him, said the situation at the base remains calm and is all under control. Oh, okay, great. How about we just go and get them? Well, we can't do that right now. Weather conditions have completely cut off the base from the sea, and it sits near a cliff edge,

and a row of buildings that the team is going to be in, they're going to have to be there until December. Yeah, we'd love to come and get to, but it's going to cost way too much money. So we can't do that. Back in December, we could send a ship for you, and that's like a 15-day journey to get there. But right now, it would cost way too much money,

and we're not doing it. So good luck, God bless. there was a movie remember the the Jody Foster detective movie on HBO right True Detective. Yeah the last season of True Detective with Jody Foster that happened at this remote research station

in Ennis Alaska which I think is a make-believe city but they had a big research station there and people they killed all the scientists and that was part of the true detective scene And so it is almost, is it life imitating art or art imitating life? Well, we don't know. And we'd love to help you guys out.

We try to reach out to almost every day with our mediators. So, you know, get better. And write a letter of apology. And if you see them at the facility, tell them you're sorry, okay? Because we're not coming to get you. It's too expensive. In fact, the quote is, an emergency evacuation is significant. cost. And we don't want to get the team out before we're going to have to go and get them in

December. So good luck. God bless. All right. And as we're headed into the break room, I want to say happy spring time. Today is the first day of spring. Yes, spring has sprung at 501 a.m. Today, for those of you listening live, it is the 20th of March 2025. So I think most meteorologists and experts say that March 1st is the beginning of spring, but no, no, no, no. Today is the official day of spring. Then we have Easter coming up on April 20th. Summer arrives on June 20th.

So, yay. We still have some months to go before it gets cold again. Right? Right. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Hey, congratulations to Conan O'Brien. He's already got the gig for next year.

They said, yeah, you know what, Conan, can you do the Academy Awards for us next year? And Conan said, sure, I'll be happy to do that for you. So he's hosting next year's Oscars as well. So congratulations to Conan. He didn't do a bad job this year. And the Oscars were fine. And they were, you know, their ratings were the best they've had in five years. That doesn't make them good, but they still were better than they have been.

So, you know, good for Conan. and congratulations on his second time hosting the Oscars. He's got a ways to go to get to the records, though. I mean, two times is fine, but Bob Hope did it 19 times. Billy Crystal did it nine times, and he was at this Oscar, this event as well. He even made jokes about doing it so many times. Johnny Carson did it five times.

Jack Lemon did it four times. Whoopi Goldberg. Wow, this is embarrassing. Whoopi Goldberg. did it four times. That's when everybody liked her, though. And what? Everybody still likes her? Oh, okay. Do they? Kimmel has done it four times. Jerry Lewis did it three times. David Niven, you know him, you love him, three times. And Steve Martin did it three times. So Conan, you got a little bit of time. You got to do one more, even just to catch up to Steve Martin and at least get in the

record books. You see where the writer-director Carl Rintz, uh, you see where the writer-director Carl Rents R-I-N-S-C-H, was arrested in Hollywood this week on federal charges that he misused millions of dollars slated for a Netflix TV production. Well, I can't believe someone would even think about doing that. Oh, my gosh. Apparently, he used the money to fund personal investments in securities and cryptocurrency. I'm sure he paid for a little bit more than that as well. So Netflix picked up a production of White.

horse in 2018 with an initial investment of $44 million. Wow. After cost overruns, he received another 11 million. He went back for more and they gave it to him. Netflix. Jeffrey CTF is my PayPal. Just sent me some money. I promise I won't invest it in securities or cryptocurrency. Okay, I promise. So then he lost, they allege that he lost more than half of that amount on risky securities, including investments in a biofarmor company and an S&P 500-linked exchange traded fund before shifting the remainder to cryptocurrency where he profited significantly. He faces counts of wire fraud, money laundering, and use of illicit funds. He spent more than $10 million on luxury cars, hotels, credit cards, and lawyers.

No episodes of the show, later renamed Conquest, were produced. now an arbitrator ordered rinse to pay Netflix nearly 12 million in August so they've been dealing with this for a while but now he's being arrested by the feds for this okay uh don't do it don't do it I mean he's spending he invested some of the money and other things so he was hoping to maybe reinvest that money into his show uh-huh and what do you can't see he can't go to work in a in a dump car. He needs a luxury car. He's out looking for places to shoot for the show.

He needs hotels. And, you know, he's supposed to just work on cash. Of course, he needs credit cards. I mean, they've all been doing this. So I'm sure that this is not going to be the first one coming, especially if Netflix feels like they got ripped off. But they did. They got 12 million back. And now he's being charged from the feds.

Okay. All right. Sure, sure, go ahead. So speaking of people that have been charged criminally, Alec Baldwin. Back in the news, and he should be because whatever he does, he's got to start promoting his show, right?

I mean, they've got the reality show, The Baldwin's, and that's been on for about a month now, and it hasn't done very well. They claim that after the premiere show, the viewership just tanked. because everybody wanted to see the, you know, the premiere show and see how terrible it was. I apologize to you, my audience here on Two and the Fat. I have not watched this show.

I've deviarded it. I'm sorry. I haven't gotten to it yet. I will. I will, you know what? I'm going to make a promise to you today, the 20th of March, 2025, that by next week, I will have the Baldwin's shows under my belt and we can talk about it. Okay?

I promise. So according to the reports, they had like $682,000 tuned into the debut episode, and then $423,000 watched the second episode. And I don't even know that they keep track of how low it's been for the third and four. But he's got, you know, it's got Alec, the wife, and the seven kids, 11, 9, 8, 6, 4, and 2. That's a house full. That's a houseful.

And the wife is just... What's the good word I can say? She is just... Well, a wife. A wife. And there's audio now of her berating, Alec, while on this red carpet. And it is awesome,

because he looks so mad. And she just shuts him down. and that's what it's like at the house too. And people were pissed about the new show because he talks about how his place that they live in is too small. The place they're filming in in New York, their apartment, yeah, it's 6,000 square feet, way too small. And I'll give them that.

For someone used to the lifestyle he's used to with seven kids, yeah, that's way too small. I can't live here. It's too small. So, and anyway, just a reminder, the reason you're hearing the gunshots and the gun cocking is because those are the rules of the show. We had those rules set up when he was on trial after the first, well, even before he was actually on trial, when the shooting happened on the rushed set. When we talked about Mr. Baldwin, if I say his full name or his first name, full name gets a gunshot, first name gets the gun cocking. That's just the rules of the show.

What are you going to do? It's the rules of the show. So let's hear the cut of him being berated by wife Hilaria. No, no, I think we're going to see, you know? We're going to see how it feels to have it be out there. It's going to be great. You're a winner. Oh, my God, when I'm talking, you're not talking.

Oh! This is why, yes, we'll have to, like, just cut him out of the show. No, I mean, I think it's... He is so pissed, right? right now. Raw show and it's very real and he steps back behind her. He goes to talk to somebody else. Nobody cares what you're saying, hilarious.

Nobody, I'm sorry, hilaria. Nobody cares what you're saying. He is so pissed. Oh my gosh, when I'm talking, you're not. Oh my gosh. That, you know, that's what is like in his house, man. And almost, and I say almost with not capital letters, just small case.

Almost. Makes you feel bad for him. Nah, never mind. It doesn't. Then, this is the clip of him complaining about the size of his, uh, of his home. Oh, the kids are running around crazy. God. We moved into this apartment in November of 2011. Her and I, no kids. It's quiet.

And then, number one came. That's the daughter. Pictures of the kids. No, no, no. Don't do that. Oh, wends up. Three kids, four kids. And I thought that was the outer limit.

But no. We kept going. Yeah, we know it's too small. We know it's too small. So, you know, that's just a guy talking about his house with his kids. Look at the four-bedroom, four-bathroom home.

They only dropped $1.2 million on this apartment. Oh, no. Let me rephrase that. I apologize. Okay, so they bought the first place in 2011, four bedroom, four bathrooms, okay? Then they renovated it.

Then they spent $1.2 million on an apartment next door, so they expanded the home to $6,000 square feet. I will be watching this. I'm sorry. I know I've told you this before. They only spent $16 million on this place originally. with another 1.2 on the dump next door, and they've got it all fixed up,

and it's still too small. It's too small for the entire family. It's really annoying. So, man, it's just, he's just taking a beating. The guy deserves every second of every beating that he gets. But, again, with the wife berating him on top of the rest of the world, you can understand why he needs to be medicated. You know, that still doesn't change the fact that he's a douche.

I'm sorry. Alec Baldwin is a douche, and we all know it. But it doesn't hurt knowing that he's getting berated by the wife at all times. I think you know what I'm saying.

You know, speaking of doches, the owners of Ben and Jerry's, the guys that founded the company, That's their stupid name. Well, Ben and Jerry. I mean, they have last names.

Nobody knows who they are. But they sold the company to Unilever. And I don't know how many millions they made. And they made a lot. And they're still pissed, though, because they want their company to still be Ben and Jerry's and be this political nightmare for people. So they're now claiming that Unilever fired the CEO,

I'm sorry, removed the. the CEO without board approval, violating their merger agreement. So they are still on the board and it's a merger. They didn't sell it all. So they have a little bit of a say in what happens. It wasn't for performance reasons that they got rid of the CEO. So they have been, I mean, they've been fighting with Unilever since 2021 when the ice cream company announced that it would stop selling pints in the Israeli occupied West Bank.

Unilever, now Ben and Jerry claim that the complaint says that they threaten to break up the board and sue members to stop Ben and Jerry's from voicing support for Palestinian refugees and a permanent and immediate ceasefire. Unilever has since blocked the ice cream brand from making a social media post for Black History Month and another one that would have voiced support for the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian-Kal, a Palestinian-Kalqa. Columbia University student currently detained by ICE. He needs to get out of the country, gone, have a nice day. He talked about how he wanted to eliminate, eradicate the United States. So he's here on a green card. Sorry about it. Get out.

But that's not the way they feel. Unilever is denied the accusation, big surprise, and has not commented on the more recent ones. So Ben and Jerry, they're stupid. Oh, yeah, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield are, you know, Ben and Jerry. They're looking to maybe buy it back from Unilever. We'll see. I don't know if they have that kind of money. Maybe they do. Because Unilever said, well, we're trying to dump Ben and Jerry's anyway. And the other ice cream brands were sick of messing with ice cream. So, but no one wants it.

No one wants it because it's Ben and Jerry's. So just give it back to Ben and Jerry and let them run their company into the ground, which they didn't do the first. time because for some reason people love Ben and Jerry's. I do not. But, and it's not because of them. I mean, I actually legitimately, before I knew they were douchebags and nightmares, I tried a lot of their stupid flavors and it just, eh, it just wasn't good. Oh, Jeff, what about the cherry gar? Yeah, no, I didn't, I don't like that either. Oh, what about the gelatoes that they're trying to sell? Yeah, I don't want their gelato either. And I know they have sea salt, car. which I'm sure is, well, I don't want it.

Okay, sorry, I don't want the gelato from Ben and Jerry's either. I don't want any of their flavors. Just go away. You're taking up space in the freezer where good ice cream could be. You know, like Eminem honey from bees. Make that cold and I'd go ahead and eat it. Now, I guess the experts say it's unedible. But way back, I mean, 2012, another lifetime ago,

beekeepers in France, found their bees producing blue and green honey. And they didn't know why. But apparently a nearby M&M factory was leaving out their waste where the bees could get at it and they started feeding on it. And the result was this colorful honey. And it says in the story that it was unsellable honey. Why?

It's still honey. But now they, you know, obviously the M&M factory, you know, said, oh, well, we'll seal up our waste, which is. should have been doing anyway, but it's France and nobody cares. So they steal up their waist and it doesn't happen. And they, you know, it directly affects your honey as what bees eat. I know, but I'm all for Eminem Honey. Hello?

Yes, please. I don't care. If you're telling me it's Eminem Honey, it's blue and green and you can't sell it, I find that very hard to believe. You know, like this story. I believe it, but I've, man, it's tough for me to believe it. Okay? So there's a tortoise, Jonathan the tortoise, that they claim is 193 years old.

All right. You say it, so it's got to be so, right? Jonathan the tortoise, they believe it was born around 1832. That means he's lived through the Civil War. He resides on St. Helena. Yeah, I got it. St. Helena. Since 1882.

he has witnessed the passage of time with remarkable resilience. Despite being blind, lacking a sense of smell. Is that any kind of life for a turtle, a tortoise? Despite being blind and lacking a sense of smell, Jonathan continues to thrive, does he? Enjoying his days grazing and basking in the sun. That's all he does. It's the Jimmy Carter Turtle.

They just wheel them out, and he just sits down. and he just sits there. Oh, look at him. He's enjoying the sun. Yeah, he can't move. His longevity offers unique perspective on history. Does it embodying endurance and survival? Yes, it does.

So Jonathan the tortoise, 193 years old. And if that's true, I'm sure he's an old tortoise. But I love the fact that, yeah, he's blind and he's got no smell. He just enjoys. bathing in the sun. Yeah, no, he just can't move. So good luck. Jonathan the tortoise.

I hope everything works out for you there on St. Helena and, you know, just continue to bathe in the sun. St. Helena, now that's a cool place. Okay, so that's a good gig if you're the governor of St. Helena too. So you're in St. Helena, you become the governor. when the king tells you you're the governor. Okay, King Charles. King Charles, it's the British government island.

And he just says, yeah, okay, you're the governor. And there you go. That's a good gig right there. I'm willing to take that job if King wants to, you know, give it to me. I don't know that I want to live in St. Helena, though, but I guess you don't have to, do you have to live there to be the governor? Yeah, probably. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.

Wow, you see where James Osgood, 55, is going to be executed in Alabama. The execution is set for April. He was found guilty and sentenced to death for the 2010 rape and murder of a woman. And he's been on death row, and they claim that he cut her throat and sexually.

assaulted her. I mean, just a horrible, horrible way to go and a horrible person for doing it. And so he has now said, hey, I'm dropping all my appeals and I'm asking the state, you know what, just execute me. Get it over with. I no longer feel as if I'm existing. I'm tired. I want to complete my sentence. He wrote this letter to his attorney last July. Last July, The letter was included in court filings about his request to drop his appeal. He thanked his attorney for her work and said, yeah, I appreciate you, but now I'm ready to just make it end. So the judge gave improper. So they convicted him in 2014 sentenced him to death, an appeals court threw it out.

The ruling judge apparently gave improper instructions to the jurors. But at his resentencing in 2018, Osgood asked for the death sentence, telling the judge, judge he believed in an eye for an eye. Well, okay, that's what you were convicted of in sentence to the last time. Anyway, a couple of years ago, I really screwed up, I'm guilty, I deserve death,

that's what I want, odds go to the judge. Then he renewed his appeals, after he got into prison, he renewed his appeals up until this last July when he decided, you know what, now I'm tired. You guys, go ahead, execute me.

The sentencing, from the judge said that, yeah, he had a difficult childhood. Yeah, his brain development was potentially hindered. Well, so what? You're still going on death row. And his girlfriend was another person who was charged in the murder, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. She didn't get the death penalty.

That's interesting. So she must not have done most of the assaulting and killing. It's not funny. It's not funny at all. I'm good you know what good we've wasted all this time now you know with appeals and yeah I gave the judge gave the jury the inappropriate instructions I'm sorry improper instructions which matters no question it matters I'm glad that it worked through

but then he's still guilty of this and was guilty and they sent this thing was death and so I understand he's like you know what I'm over I'm done all right You need to just set the date for the execution because I'm tired. I want to complete my sentence. Okay. Let's get this going. I don't know why we're waiting until April 24th, but we are. He's going to be executed by a lethal injection on April 24th in the great state of Alabama.

All right, let's get out of here and give you the joke of the day. Okay, the joke of the day. I'll tie it in with the execution, you know, the prison. being found guilty of things. A woman tried to cut off her boyfriend's man part. She missed and cut his thigh. She was charged, though,

with a mist of weiner. It's just sad. You know, what I didn't talk about. Okay, so I have to continue on. I can't wait until tomorrow because, you know, the big story today was the groundbreaking findings that they found underneath the pyramids, the Giza Pyramid complex. And if true, I mean, it would rewrite everything that we know, right?

I mean, it's unbelievable. They found, now let me rephrase that. They say that they've found this structure underneath the Giza complex. And they use this ground penetrating radar, and they've mapped this structure that is more than twice the height of the tall, building on earth. It goes down not forever, but it goes down forever. It's huge. And it looks more like a power plant underneath these pyramids.

Now, this group released this information and they say that more information is going to be released in I think nine or ten days. So, which then leads me to believe that it may not be true and I'll tell you why in a moment. So they used this

synthetic aperture radar S-A-R scan of the Giza Plateau with a specific focus on the underground structures beneath the pyramid. And it's incredible, if true. Just incredible. The ground penetrating radar shows these giant pillars

and the bases underneath the pillars. And it definitely was not built by Egyptian slaves. And it wasn't built by Egyptian giants over the years. If true. And if true, it changes. everything that we even remotely thought about the pyramids, at least many of us thought. A lot of people, you know, kind of pondered this idea that they were there for some kind of power in the past here on Earth. And they weren't tombs built for the pharaohs. They've never

found any pharaohs buried in the tombs. So it couldn't have been that that was a, you know, a tomb for the pharaohs. But what got me thinking is that, you know, 10 days from now is that, you know, 10 days from now is the end of March, right? And what happens at the end of March? Oh, I know, April Fool's Day. So, do I want to believe that this happened? Yes, I do. And it's kind of scary to think about, because it changes everything, if true. But if they come out and say that this was all just an elaborate April Fool's joke, just know that you heard it here first, because it would be, Do you mess with the pyramids like that? Can that be an April Fool's joke?

I don't know. Are the pyramids sacred? Well, the Egyptians certainly think so. All right. I'm out of here. Thanks for listening to Chewing the Fat. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.
