Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So the criminal, Caroline Ellison, has been sentenced to two years for FTCS fraud. The ex-girlfriend, an accomplice of convicted FtX fraudster, Sam Bankman-Fried, sentenced to 24 months at a minimum security prison by Judge Lewis Kaplan for her role in the collapse of the crypto exchange.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Ellison and her lawyers sought no prison time, while prosecutors acknowledged that a lenient sentence was justified after she cooperated with the investigation against SBF and showed remorse for the parts she played in defrauding investors. Kaplan praised Ellison's cooperation, but said, ah, there cannot be a get-out-of-jail-free card for a crime of that magnitude. SBF was sentenced to 25 years in March. Okay, so for a crime of that magnitude, they all got their money back. I'm really confused on this, and I still, I'm still, I don't understand because it was such a fraud that they all got their money back now. And so, okay, all right, fine, all right, he's a bad guy. She's a bad guy. Go to jail forever because of this horrific fraud where everyone.
Starting point is 00:01:57 got their money back. I mean, there are fraudsters out there. Remember the lady, oh, I don't know, 10 years ago, launched a fake cryptocurrency named one coin, and the currency never existed. And this lady convinced people all over the world to invest. And then in 2017, after raking in $4 billion in profit, she boarded a plane to Greece and hasn't been seen.
Starting point is 00:02:27 sense. Now that is a criminal. A smart one. And I must say I'm a little No, I hate it. It's wrong. It's wrong. Completely wrong. I cannot like criminals doing that. Especially, I mean, I can like it now because I didn't invest any money in the fake cryptocurrency. But she's dead now,
Starting point is 00:02:49 is what I'm being told? Right. Okay. Just like SBF have, it was this huge fraudster because everyone got their money back. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Okay, I'll start with the apology. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Yesterday on the program, Chewing the Fat, dated 924, 2024. You're listening live today is the 25th of September, 2024. I talked about, I had a, you know, a section where I talked about Space News. and I mentioned that there was going to be an eclipse last night, this partial lunar eclipse. And it was going to start like at 8 o'clock at night and go until 10.30 or whatever. And that was on the show.
Starting point is 00:03:40 And so then I came downstairs and I'm, you know, doing some show prep and I'm talking to my wife. And I'm like, hey, don't forget about the, you know, the partial lunar eclipse tonight. And my wife goes, there's another one? And I was like, what do you mean? She goes, well, I've already got pictures from the one that happened last week.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Here, look. And she shows me, you know, all the pictures that she took of it. And then she says, it's not even a full moon. Why would there be a lunar eclipse? Well, come to find out the story was about last week. So the days were right. It talked about Tuesday and Tuesday into Wednesday, only it was a week old.
Starting point is 00:04:22 And so I apologize. Then, as I. working, I get a message, a response to my show tweet, you know, where I say, hey, new chewing the fat is up, which I do every day on my social media accounts at Jeffrey JFR on X and Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. And so I get a response saying, hey, thanks for the tip on the lunar eclipse, have about an hour enjoying the episode right now. And I thought, oh, crap. This guy, I got this guy, poor girl. You know, looking for the lunar eclipse
Starting point is 00:04:58 that isn't going to happen. So I responded, that was last week. I was talking to my wife about it, and she took picks of it. Sorry. You can keep looking up, though. You never know. And I got the response back.
Starting point is 00:05:15 I knew we had one of them, but the start of the show was dated today. I know. That was the point. So, Sorry about it, okay. And I got to thank you back and saying, well, I'm going to go inside now. And there you go.
Starting point is 00:05:33 So, you know, I helped. I helped, even though I didn't help from the beginning. So, you know, you're welcome. You're welcome. But I'm sorry at the same time. Also, yesterday I talked about going down the rabbit hole of the website that had all the basketball courts in America. there were like over 59,000 of them and they were satellite shots of every
Starting point is 00:05:58 basketball court in America and it was full basketball courts so it wasn't like if you had a basketball hoop up they didn't while they could do that which would be a lot more than 59,000 they just had the 59,000 plus of full basketball courts in America
Starting point is 00:06:12 everyone it was I just I kept going okay well let's go what's this city Des Moines Iowa oh it's this city and it just goes to it was fascinating and I couldn't get away from the website well then yesterday I go down the rabbit hole. After I find out that I, you know, gave false information about the partial lunar eclipse, I went, I started going down the rabbit hole of the tiny prefab houses that you can get off of Amazon.
Starting point is 00:06:39 And like I could get a 40-foot tiny house, three-bedroom, one fully equipped bathroom, $12,000 delivered to my home. Amazing. There's double-story, fully-equipped bathroom, two bedrooms. get that for $26,000, almost $27,000. Now, that one comes with, I have to pay $69.99 for delivery. Now, the $12,000 one, they tell me there's two left in stock on Amazon, that's $1,500 delivery. So I'm thinking about, you know, you hook up, put up one of those in the backyard. That could be like a little workroom or a guest house.
Starting point is 00:07:19 because I always thought that, you know, the moving boxes that you can have delivered to your house and they just sit in the driveway and you fill them up? Pods. And other companies call them other stuff now, but I mean they were the pods to begin with. And I always figured that if we were having guests at the house, I would just order a pod and have them sit out in the driveway and then that's where you would stay. And you say, oh, we're here to stay at your house for a while. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:47 In the pod. That's where you're staying. And so you just, you know, if they needed a light, you run an extension cord out there. And they put in a light. I figure that would work great. I mean, this way, with these tiny houses, you've actually got a place for them to stay. They've got the modular houses. I mean, you can get these 20 by 40 prefab homes for 11, under 12,000.
Starting point is 00:08:13 I mean, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. And you can get the SEQ double story, fully equipped bathroom and kitchen, tiny prefab container house, home with glass, $46,999.
Starting point is 00:08:32 And it doesn't look too shabby. It doesn't look bad at all. Now, I don't know if your neighbors, I don't know if the HOA would allow you to put it up in the backyard, but I'm thinking about it. Okay, what is happening with our ships? Okay. We have, last week, we heard about this huge Russian container ship carrying,
Starting point is 00:08:55 I was carrying ammonium nitrate, which is, you know, that's what exploded in the Middle East. Remember when we had the big factory blow up and it blew up the cities? I know. It was an awesome explosion. It was terrible. But it ran aground. And now it's stranded. And they're trying to, off the coast of Norway.
Starting point is 00:09:17 And now they're looking for a place that they're trying to, you know, get it to some sort of port. And some of the ports are like, ooh, no. Why don't you just stay right there? We're good with that right there. And then I see news about one of our Navy tankers that deliver, you know, oil to, our Navy ships, that has run aground. What is going on? What is going on?
Starting point is 00:09:54 I mean, is it actually like what they do? What do they call it spoofing? Where they overwhelm the GPS systems until they don't know where they're at? And so they would, you know, apparently run a ground. But we'll see. You know, now this one is talking about that, you know, it's damaged the ship's rudder.
Starting point is 00:10:17 and yeah, water is flooding, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's sink, don't worry about it. But I'm just talking about, we've got this, it's an oil tanker. So now it's the U.S.S.NS big horn. And so it's supposed to be providing oil, gasoline, fuel for the U.S. 5th fleet in their operations. well now the fifth fleet is like can we call somebody to get us you know some fuel
Starting point is 00:10:53 because we're out here just kind of hanging out without any extra fuel yeah we're going to tie the sheets together and put them up on top see if we can get the wind to move this thing I mean come on what is happening this is the United States Navy
Starting point is 00:11:12 and we're running ships aground in 2024 Really? Come on now. I mean, I'll, I know the Russian tanker full of ammonium nitrate and, you know, ran aground. And, you know, but I'll, that's Russia. Those are the Russians. I don't care about them. I'm talking about us.
Starting point is 00:11:30 The United States Navy. And it just runs aground? No. That's not supposed to happen. I'm sorry. No. So whatever is being done to our military where we have shit. running a ground, that needs to stop.
Starting point is 00:11:48 I'm going to go out on a limb now. And I'm just going to tell you, that needs to stop now. Whatever is making that happen needs to stop. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. There is something you can do to ensure that you and your
Starting point is 00:12:31 loved ones have medication on hand when it's needed. If you need any kind of medication, you know how what a struggle it is as of late to get your medication. And maybe the pharmacy doesn't have it at all and they have to ship it in or they can't get it and they have to send you to another pharmacy. If you go out of state, good luck. Good luck getting the medication that you may or may not need at the time from a pharmacy in another state because your doctor can't write a prescription into another state.
Starting point is 00:13:07 It's just a nightmare. And on top of that, what's happening around the world as far as, I don't know, what's, oh yeah, wars. It makes one just a tad bit nervous. So, as I said, there's something you can do to ensure that you and your loved ones have medication on hand
Starting point is 00:13:28 when it's needed. It's a solution that thousands of people have already discovered. It's called the Jace case.

Starting point is 00:14:45 Okay, I just want to go up thumb, throw it on a limb. I love ice cream. I've loved ice cream for as long as I can remember. I personally, sometimes I just can't get enough of it. I know. I got it. That could be why you're 800 pounds.
Starting point is 00:15:02 I know. I know. But I just, I love it. And so then I see where now they're having these new ice cream sandwiches by Cheez-It. Cheez-It crackers ice cream sandwiches. Now, am I going to try one if someone sets it in front of me? The answer to that, of course, is yes. but I don't know
Starting point is 00:15:28 No, no, no, no, no. Well, I mean, that's, that certainly That certainly doesn't hurt eating of ice cream, but makes me think of a deal I had with a friend of mine. No, I don't want to talk about that. It's just a deal that I had a friend
Starting point is 00:15:46 with a friend of mine that any time that he would come over and we would, you know the deal. Okay, I'll go get the loaf of bread and we'll have toast and jelly and get some peanut butter if you can afford it. We'll just have toast and jelly. Which was awesome. How about?
Starting point is 00:16:11 I've moved on to ice cream. So cheese it ice cream sandwiches. I don't know. I don't know. It just doesn't quite sit right. I'm going to try it. Yes. Maybe it's good.
Starting point is 00:16:25 But I just, good luck. to cheese at ice cream sandwiches. And, you know, am I going to go out of my way to purchase cheese at ice cream sandwiches? No. If they arrive in my home or they arrive here at work, am I going to eat some? Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:45 But I, I mean, maybe you do. Maybe you do like it, but, man, I would much rather just have a gallon of vanilla ice cream, mint chocolate chip, Rocky Rush, even a Klondike bar. I love the Klondike bars. I'm a huge fan of Klondike bars.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Or, you know, just regular vanilla. I'm good with vanilla chocolate. You know, I was forced to eat chocolate ice cream as a kid. And so, you know, I'd rather, I stay away from it now. But I'm good with it. I mean, I'm fine with it. I mean, I really like vanilla ice cream. I mean, I'm a huge fan of vanilla ice cream.
Starting point is 00:17:25 And then, you know, if you take the vanilla ice cream I mean, you use Hershey chocolate syrup on it, and then just let it get soft a little bit, and then you mix it up so it's almost a thick shake in your bowl. Oh, my gosh. I'm going to have to have some of that very, very soon. And, yeah, Neapolitan, yeah, you know, I'm okay. I'm okay with it.
Starting point is 00:17:47 I'm not opposed to it. I'm good. Am I going to save the strawberry till the end and then be bummed that all I have left is the strawberry? probably. If you go with the vanilla, the chocolate, and the strawberry, I mean, you try not to,
Starting point is 00:18:05 you want to even it out so that you're not just left with the strawberry, but that's usually not what happens. At the end, you're like, okay, well, all this there is strawberry. That's what I'm having. Good news in California. You know, plastic bags are going to be banned forever.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Yay. I thought we were way beyond that now. I thought we decided that plastic was okay and that, you know, the bags that you're forced to use the cloth bags, you need to wash those. Because if you don't, then you're, you know, that's just full of disease over the, over time with putting stuff in it.
Starting point is 00:18:46 But Governor Gavin Newsom in California signed the bill banning all plastic shopping bags. Now, they already had a ban on thin plastic. shopping bags at supermarkets. I don't know if they had the plastic bag measuring guard at the store to make sure that, you know, this, the bags were too thin. Okay, I guess. But shoppers could purchase bags made with a thicker plastic that purportedly made them
Starting point is 00:19:17 reusable and recyclable. But no. You know, people would just buy them and then throw them away, you bastards. So now the new message. approved by state legislatures last month, bans all plastic shopping bags. Now, the good news is it doesn't start right away. It starts in 2026.
Starting point is 00:19:36 So you can still pollute the planet to your heart's delight until 2026. Consumers who don't bring their own bags will now simply be asked if they want a paper bag. Wait. Consumers who don't bring their own bags will now simply be asked if they want a paper bag. Oh, I see. Okay. so it's not paper or plastic. It's, uh, you want a paper bag?
Starting point is 00:20:00 Or you're just going to stick it in your pocket and walk around? So, uh, people were not reusing or recycling any plastic bags, according to state Senator Catherine Blake Speer. Uh, she pointed to a state study that found that the amount of plastic shopping bags trashed per person grew from eight pounds a year in 2004 to 11 pounds. a year in 2021. So, they talked about the previous bag ban
Starting point is 00:20:36 passed a decade ago, still didn't reduce the overall use of plastic. According to Blake's beer, we are literally choking on our planet with plastic waste. Now, are we? Are we literally choking our planet with plastic waste?
Starting point is 00:20:56 waste because I feel like we are not. And I just, no, we're not doing that. So according to the environmental nonprofit Oceana and I love them, they applauded Newsom. Oh, really? Yeah, we're safeguarding California's coastline marine life and communities from single-use plastic grocery bags. Wow, that's special. So California is now a leader in tackling the global.
Starting point is 00:21:26 plastic pollution crisis. So now it's a global plastic pollution crisis. And we'll see if one state, if one state can make a difference, if only one person, place, or thing, doesn't choke on a plastic bag, it's worked.
Starting point is 00:21:46 All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Okay, for those of you living in DFW, the Dallas Fort Worth area. Love Field in Dallas is now going to be home to Cathay Pacific Airwaves,
Starting point is 00:22:14 which is going to launch non-stop flights between Hong Kong and Dallas Fort Worth. How many times? How many times you've been in? You're sitting at DFW. You're sitting at a restaurant and you're thinking, you know what?
Starting point is 00:22:28 I need to go to Hong Kong. and you hop on. Plus, I was looking the other day at the different places that listen to this show Chewing the Fat, and Hong Kong is on the list. Hong Kong is in the top 10. So I don't
Starting point is 00:22:44 know if somebody's using VIP router routing through Hong Kong or if they're actually from Hong Kong listening to chewing the fat. But thank you. I appreciate it. I know. I know. I should go down the list of the top 10 countries listening

Starting point is 00:25:14 And all of you listening in the United States, and specifically in the southeast, beware. Tropical Storm Helene and probably going to be Hurricane Helene. making its way into the Gulf of Mexico and making its way up into making landfall probably in the panhandle of Florida. So all of Florida's West Coast, specifically from Tampa Bay North,
Starting point is 00:25:44 are under Hurricane Watch and Hurricane Warnings. And so be prepared, and I'm sure they are. I saw where Governor, whatever a stupid name is. It's DeSantis, Jeff. Yeah, no, I know. I know. Governor DeSantis, he's taking care of business down there in Florida. So just be prepared.
Starting point is 00:26:04 And I'm sure your local radio stations are all doing Operation Storm Watch. So as they get closer, I've been a part of many of those broadcasts. So this is awesome. It's not awesome because it's a storm, but you just locked into the station. You're doing nothing but storm coverage. It's still got to waste this. So it's looking like landfall. It's moving pretty fast, actually.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Today, if you're listing live, is Wednesday, right, the 25th. And they're talking about, and it's going to be off Tampa Bay in the Gulf of Mexico on tomorrow. And then you're looking at landfall sometime Thursday night, Friday. And, you know, then plowing up through Georgia and some of Alabama. And depending on where the old, cone of death lands, you know, where that landfall makes. So just be prepared. It's always good to be prepared.
Starting point is 00:27:04 You can quote me on that. One would think that in Wyoming, something like this wouldn't happen. One would think that, but one would be wrong in thinking that. So in Wyoming, the school, the high school, the Torrington High School, which is, you know, a fine place. They were shut down, put on lockdown, and then they had to evacuate the school at the same time that they were supposed to be put on lockdown.
Starting point is 00:27:39 So apparently shots rang out near the school, okay? And at the same time that shots were ringing out, the fire alarms started going off. So they didn't know what to do. Well, actually, they did. The school handled it great. Okay, they were going to go on lockdown. And then the fire alarms are going off.
Starting point is 00:27:58 So they decided that the shooting is going on. The shots we heard were over there. So we evacuated all the kids over here. Which, you know, okay, fine. And then they called the other schools saying, we're going on lockdown. And they went on lockdown. This is Wyoming now.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Okay. So they still are not quite sure why the smoke alarms are going off. There's some kind of power surge that happened. And they went off more than once. Okay. But the gunshots came. came from personnel at a nearby livestock show. You would think that in Wyoming,
Starting point is 00:28:34 and this is just me thinking out loud, that someone in Wyoming went, yeah, there's a livestock show going on over there. It's probably over there. It's probably them. Nope. Nope, not in today's world. And they talked to the livestock people,
Starting point is 00:28:49 and they were like, yeah, we had to put down a cow. So, yeah. That's what they were doing. Yeah. What are you going to do? I mean, the guns went off and we just had to put everything on lockdown. And then we had the smoke alarms going off. We didn't know what to do.
Starting point is 00:29:09 So we talked to the people over at the livestock place. And they said, yeah, we had to put this cow down and the dock wasn't there. And then the other guy wasn't there. And the cow was suffering. and so we just had to go ahead and put it down. They had to go to put it down. We don't like to see animals suffer. You know how it is.
Starting point is 00:29:32 So, oh, is that animal suffering? Yeah, you're going down. And so we need to, you know, we don't like to, we don't often have to, you know, euthanize our animals and the vet was not there. And, you know, one guy wasn't there. We didn't know what to do. So we just told, hey, Harry, you want to get rid of this cow?
Starting point is 00:29:51 Harry said sure. No problem. I could do that. And they still don't know, again, why the smoke alarms went off, but it was a coincidence that they were going off at the same time that they were killing cows at the rodeo. And it wasn't a rodeo, Jeff, okay? And it was at a livestock show. Okay, I apologize.
Starting point is 00:30:16 It wasn't a rodeo. It was a livestock show. But one would think, as I started off, saying one would think in Wyoming one would think that they would say you know if we hear outside of the school might have something to do with the livestock show over there you know but lock it down anyway
Starting point is 00:30:41 lock it down the kids can't go anywhere oh wait the smoke alarms are going off get them out evacuate evacuate and then they evacuated to the other side of the school right no they didn't say they didn't say any of the storm sounders were going off. No, they were it was a fire alarm. And so, you know, who knows? Maybe it probably
Starting point is 00:31:02 I'm not saying this could happen. But if I were a kid being put on locked out because of over there at the rodeo, I'm sorry, livestock show. I may accidentally fall in
Starting point is 00:31:21 until the fire alarm. And, you know, just, we're not on lockdown. We have to be evacuated. The fire alarm's going off. Now, that's just me. I'm not saying that's what happened. I have no evidence to that. I'm just, you know, throwing it out there.
Starting point is 00:31:54 It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So, no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just, Plano Lice? Yes, we deliver those. Gold tenders, no. But chicken tenders, yes. Because those are groceries, and we deliver those too.

Starting point is 00:32:38 thanks to the state of Missouri He was He was On death row As you know They just didn't pick him out of a crowd And say, hey you, Marcel Come here, you're next

Come on down And Marcel went, yeah, go ahead Go ahead and lethal inject me So he died after his last meal, which was chicken wings and tater tots. So he was, that's what he ate on his last meal there in Missouri. He was, I mean, he was praising Allah at every situation.
Starting point is 00:33:21 He had his I-M-M-on with him there in the death room. And they, I mean, they really tried. They fought for his innocence to the very end. And it did not work. So rest in peace. I guess rest in peace, to Marcellus Williams. Dead?
Starting point is 00:33:40 At the age of 55. Then we have a Texas man, Travis Mullis. Travis Mullis dead, thanks to the state of Texas and their lethal injection plan. Travis is dead at the age of 38. He was the fourth.
Starting point is 00:34:02 inmate put to death this year in Texas. Now, you may say, hey, what did Travis eat for his last meal? Well, Travis was able to choose from the menu at the prison in Huntsville because all inmates eat from the menu and condemned inmates in Texas no longer make last meal requests. I mean, we are, we're mean, that's mean, that's mean. I know we're going to kill you, but you don't get to choose what you're eating either. Here's some green beans to get out of here. I mean, I get it.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I get it. But that's part of the deal was, you know, you get to kill me and I get to have what I want to eat, you know, within reason. Out of my last night. You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? Come on. No, but within reason. I mean, you're not bringing in, you know, an 18-course meal for the prisoner.
Starting point is 00:34:57 But, you know, if you want burgers or pancakes or whatever. whatever, whatever the guy wants, or female, whatever they want. Here you go, here's your cheeseburger that you haven't had in a hundred years. Here's a shake. All right, I'll go down in the hall there. We're going to kill you.
Starting point is 00:35:12 I mean, it just seems, it just seems like, it's mean. It's just mean. Darn it, Texas, it's just mean. That's all. Jeff, we're killing him. I know. I know. I get it. But it just, I don't know, it just doesn't sit right with me.
Starting point is 00:35:26 That's all. then we have in China I don't know if this guy's dead or not this guy may actually still be alive but he's a top Chinese economist he criticized
Starting point is 00:35:41 Xi Jinping's handling of the country's economy in a private group chat he's missing so I don't know if he's dead I don't know if Xi Jinping just you know picked him up and is taking him
Starting point is 00:35:56 in for a little re-education, which I believe, because that's what they did to Homeboy, too, the Alibaba guy. He was bad-mouting Xi Jinping, and then he just disappeared for about three or four months. Everybody was like, where is he? Where is he? And then when he came back out, it was all fine. And China is good. And Xi Jinping is the best ever.
Starting point is 00:36:21 I mean, it was bad. So he went for a little re-education, too. But it's still alive. there you go. And not long ago, we talked about the Sarko, you know, the capsule in the Netherlands that you get to kill yourself with that, you know, you slide
Starting point is 00:36:38 into it, and then you close it and it says, hey, do you want to die? Yes. And then it says, okay, push the button and it, you know, the oxygen leaves, and the chamber fills with nitrogen and you die.
Starting point is 00:36:54 And it's these suicide pods. And it never talks about who cleans them up, by the way. I just want to rehash my thought on that. So they have these suicide pods, and they're making the case. The guy who invented it and who is in charge of it, you know, it's illegal to be there and assist someone.
Starting point is 00:37:14 But what he says is, I'm not assisting him. I'm just, I'm giving them the option to get in and, you know, push the button or not. And so a bunch of these people, I guess, have been arrested now because someone actually used it. I thought it was used already, but apparently this person, and I think it was an American, actually, went over and, yeah, a woman from the Midwest. And she'd been severing for many years, and she went over there into an open air under a canopy of trees and a private forest retreat near the German border with, and, you know, push the button. And the head guy, Philip Niske, he says that he's pleased that Sarko had performed exactly as it had been designed to do.
Starting point is 00:38:02 And that's to provide an elective, non-drug, peaceful death at time of persons choosing. Okay. And they also, you know, they've been anticipating legal problems because, you know, they're going to be arrested because they, not so a person. Swiss law, which is why the Sarkos are there, allows for a. assisted suicide so long as the person takes his or her life with no external assistance. And those who help the person do not do so for any self-serving motive. Weird, how that's worded. So if I just walking by and, hey, you want to kill me?
Starting point is 00:38:44 I want to kill myself. Can you help me? No, I'm good. I'm good. So the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland does not allow euthanasia. which involves healthcare practitioners killing patients with lethal injection at their request in specific circumstances.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Switzerland is also unusual and that it allows people from other countries to travel there and have their lives, yeah. And this is where we're looking for the 3D printed capsule using the common gases. And I still go back to that's really, you want to hop in a pod
Starting point is 00:39:19 and kill yourself, have at it. But who cleans it? I mean, I guess the people at the sarcopod company say, Sarcopod number four, we've got a dead body, sarcopod number four. And then you just, the truck comes by and picks up the body. I mean, that's, that's kind of a, that's kind of, that's not a bad, if you could be around dead bodies, that's not a bad gig. I don't know how busy you are.
Starting point is 00:39:47 And kind of, you know, most days you're just sitting around going, nope, nobody today. I do you have to drive by and make sure that they're still, you know, okay and in working condition. You need some kind of maintenance on those bad boys. So, uh, we've got a problem in sarcopod number two. Problem on sarcopod number two. You know, I need an update on that. And you go by and there's a real fat person in there that can't, that's stuck and can't push the button. What happens then?
Starting point is 00:40:14 What happens then? What happens when the fat guy gets into the sarcopod and can't reach the button to push for yes? and then somebody comes by and says, I got it for you, that man, and pushes the button. You're in trouble because you're not supposed to assist them, no matter whether they're overweight or not. So, just,
Starting point is 00:40:35 that is kind of fat-chamming. It is. It is. And you look at the sarco-pods, they're not really made for fat people. So, anyway, good luck. God bless.
Starting point is 00:40:48 That's all I'm saying. Good luck. God bless him. Good news. The inventor of the sarco-pot is happy. It worked just the way it was supposed to. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

Starting point is 00:41:41 I should have put this in. Who died today? Coca-Cola has now pulled its new flavor spiced from shelves after just six months because nobody was buying it. And so have a nice day. So I can't tell you,
Starting point is 00:42:01 I would not purchase it. But you can tell me, I loved it. It was great. Well, it's being pulled from shelves because no one liked it. So rest in peace, Coca-Cola spiced. Dead at the age of six months. I mean, have a nice day. Take care.
Starting point is 00:42:25 And I see where Brett Farr, former NFL quarterback, Hall of Fame, NFL quarterback, played most of his time with the Green Bay Packers. Then he went to the Jets. Huh, it's amazing that the former Green Bay quarterback would play there for a long time and then go play with the Jets. Huh.
Starting point is 00:42:47 And then I know he went to Minnesota too. Shut up. I got it. But anyway, so he's testifying over his involvement in Mississippi Welfare Fund misuse scandal. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:01 So he's testifying in front of of some congressional people gathered to hear his stupid Mississippi Welfare Fund misuse scandal. He was found to have received a little over a million dollars in speaking fees for speeches he never gave from welfare funds and was linked to the use of $5 million in welfare funds to pay for a volleyball facility at his alma mater, while it was for his daughter. And Farr hasn't been criminally charged and has repaid the speaking fees. So he, and then while he's there testifying for this, he reveals that I've just been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. And, you know, that's sad.
Starting point is 00:43:47 And I don't wish that on anyone. I don't wish that on anyone. I've seen people in my family suffer from Parkinson's that don't like it. It's not fun whatsoever. However, I will just say, isn't it interesting, that? that he's testifying about his fraud for a congressional hearing. And was it Congress or Senate? There's a congressional.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Okay, it was congressional hearing. And he's testifying before Congress. And what everybody about his fraud and the money that they use from welfare funds. And what the story is is that Brett Fier's Parketsons, and he's had a thousand concussions or 10,000 concussions or 20,000 cusses or whatever it was. And that's interesting. It's just interesting to me that that would be the time that he would reveal having Parkinson's disease so that the talk is all about that and not what he was actually there testifying about.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Just interesting to me is all. I'm not saying he doesn't have Parkinson's. But it is possible that this was just something, you know, after, do I believe he has many concussions for playing football over there? Of course. Every football player does. Every football player does. And they're blaming, you know, they're blaming the concussions on causing the Parkinson's.
Starting point is 00:45:23 And so I get it. I get what you're doing. I get, I pick up what you're laying down, Brett. But it's just interesting to me. that's all. It's just interesting to me that this is when he announced it. Huh.
Starting point is 00:45:42 That's all I'm saying. Huh. All right, let's get out of here. I want to, well, we could use, this actually fits into the Brett Faveh, the Brett Favre story, because if he's not telling the truth, as I was looking through one of the emails
Starting point is 00:46:01 that I get every morning that has some stories, and some stuff in it has the word of the day. And the word of the day today was comeuppance. A word I haven't heard in a while. But a word that fits
Starting point is 00:46:19 if Brett Farr was not telling the truth at his congressional hearing, he will get his comeuppance, meaning that he will get his punishment or fate that he deserves. So Brett may get his, come up, which makes me want to think that he's not lying. I get it.
Starting point is 00:46:38 I get it. Again, it's just interesting that, you know, it happened when it did is all. It's all I'm saying. It's all I'm saying. All right. And I'll leave you with the joke of the day. It's kind of a fat guy joke so I'll get out of here. But I use it for myself. It's not my joke.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Although I've used this similar joke before. But not to brag or anything, but I just got hired as a fitness model. They used me as the before picture. See, what I'm saying is that I'm the, you know, they have the value.
