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. You will want to take a moment before you start, well, you can do it now as you're listening to the show. But the Consumer Product Safety Commission,

said that the work pro-momentum office chairs have been recalled. And they've been recalled because bolts that hold the back of the chair to the base can fail and make whoever is in the chair fall. So be careful. The Consumer Products Safety Commission, you know them and love them as the CPSC, did not specify how the bolts failed. But there were seven reports of people falling from the seat, two of whom suffered minor injuries.

Okay. So they give the numbers of the recall models. They came in either black or gray and had a metal frame cushioned seat, five coaster wheels, and a high back. The model number can be found under the seat cushion. They were sold at Office Depot, Office Max, Amazon, Walmart. eBay, and it says here, other websites. So they were sold everywhere from October 2021 to September of 2024.

And it says here they sold for about $430 each for the chair. So if you have a work pro momentum office chair, be careful. The bolt may fly off and you may fall. Now, you can contact Veyer, if you have a recalled chair. Now, Veer, I guess they're a transportation company. I don't know what they have to do with it, except that they're probably the company

that's going to deliver to you the free repair kit. You didn't think you were going to get a new chair out of it, did you? I didn't think so. They're going to get you a free repair kit, which includes a bracket, bolts, Allen wrench and cover. So yeah, don't use it until you get the free repair kit and do your own, well, I guess it's a D.Y-I-Fix-it recall from the WorkPro Momentum office chairs.

And so just be careful. That's all I'm saying. Be careful what you sit on. Be careful how you lean back on it. and just know that if you get a hold of there, they will, and let them know that you have a particular recalled model, 851-7-865 or 786-43384, one of those models, that they will ship you a free repair kit.

And, man, there's nothing you want to do more. Then turn that chair upside down and get those new brackets and bolts in place with the Allen wrench and a new cover. for that area. So, man, just be careful out there. Just be careful out there. You never know what you're sitting on. Welcome.

Or you think you do and you don't. Welcome to chewing the fat. Oh, wow. We are down to three fires now in California. Which one is missing? So we still have the palisades, which has been burning for 10 days. That is 31% contained with 23,7,7,000.

13 acres burned. We have the Eaton fire. That's been burning for 10 days. That is 65% contained. 14,117 acres. So which one? Oh, the Hearst fire. Right?

That was the other one? Hearst? Yeah, that's not on the list. According to Los Angeles Times. So must be contained. It's out. Then we have the auto fire. 61 acres burned.

That's been burning for just four days. And that's 85% contained. So that's almost out. And you still have the Horton fire in Arizona. Arizona burning has been burning for 33 days. That is 94% contained. So it's almost. They're almost.

They're on it. They're on it. It is 8,346 acres burned with the Horton fire. But that's in Arizona. Nobody cares about that. The three fires in California, they do care about, and those are still burning, and we're still seeing the effects of what a horrible situation everyone is in.

There are some people that are starting to get a little upset with the stars coming out and, you know, doing FaceTime, hawking their own products out there, helping the struggling victims of the wildfires. I saw that, you know, Megan had delayed her premiere of her Netflix show, and her and Harry were out helping the fire victims. And, of course, you know, the cameras were there. And they were, they said they opened up their home to,

friends. We did talk about that. And they have donated clothes. Those are things I'm never going to wear again. Give them away. Let those victims have them. And then so when you see people walking around with the designer shoes, those are

from Megan. Megan's not wearing that trash anymore. Get out of here. And Harry's probably gave away a few slip-ons or something. So anyway, I know that her show, with love Megan is a heartfelt tribute to the beauty of Southern California. Maybe we oppose them that a little bit because there's a few things happening in Southern

California that we're not so happy about right now. So the show, I guess blends practical how-toes and candid conversation with friends new and old. She shares personal tips and tricks for cooking. That's what I want. I want Megan to give me her. personal tips and tricks for cooking, gardening, and more. Special guests will include Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, and Alice Waters.

Right there, I'm in. I'm in. You name those three people, I am watching. It's eight episodes for that the series was supposed to give Netflix as part of a five-year, $100 million deal that Netflix inked with the couple. So they've got to create something. I mean, Spotify dropped them because they were creating zero. content, but they couldn't be bothered

to make a podcast. And I guess they made a couple of them, but it was supposed to be you know, in every week, every month, some kind of thing that they just couldn't be bothered with. So Spotify was like, no, I'm done. And in my ear I hear they should call me. I offered. I offered

when this happened. And they, I didn't get a call. So, you know, I'm glad that they kicked the bucket on that. But I did see where where what's her face, Kelly Osborne had posted a post and I don't know if she was talking about

Megan and Harry or if she was just talking about the overall the overall A-list celebrities but she was a little upset. Okay, I have a question.

Is it just me being... Okay, I got to pause for it just a second. Kelly, here's a little helpful him for me, okay? When you're making a video post, turn the TV off! Okay, but I digress.

Go ahead, Kelly. My normal overthinking, cynical self, or is it really disturbing to see all of these celebrities using people's pain and suffering as a photo op to say, look, I'm about to lose my mind with the TV. I'm about to lose my mind, but go ahead, Kelly. I'm helping. I'm doing this, I'm doing that.

I don't believe you help so that you can get attention for helping. I believe you just help because you want to. She's saying the right thing. So confused. Yeah, me too. You know what's confusing you? I'll tell you what's confusing you is because you're trying to make this video with the TV on. That's what's confusing you.

Anyway, she's right. She's right. And everybody is out getting their, uh, getting their, uh, getting their FaceTime helping people and isn't that special. And you really should be out there. And the ones who we're not hearing about are out there helping people without promoting it on their Instagram at $3,000 a post or whatever they get. Many of the $3,000 a post, that's peanuts compared to what some of them are getting paid.

I did see, though, speaking of people out and about, that Bruce Willis was out and about. Now, holy cow, Bruce Willis, he made a, You know, he made a, he's out in public, which is really weird. But he is kind of what Kelly is talking about, kind of, but it's Bruce Willis. So you got to let it kind of slide. But he was out thanking first responders as, you know, the wildfires continue throughout Los Angeles. So his wife, Emma Hemming Willis, shared a black and white video to Instagram, showing Willis wearing a New York Yankees cap and shaking hands with the Los Angeles police officer.

and posing for a photo. And the video is set to, you know, the Led Zeppelin song going to California. And Emma wrote in the caption that the video was taken on Wednesday, the 15th of January. If you're listening live, today is the 17th of January 2025.

Spotting a first responder, Bruce never, okay, this is the wife speaking now on behalf of Bruce and her Instagram post. Okay. Spotting a first responder, Bruce never missed a chance to show his gratitude with a heartfelt handshake and a thank you for your service.

Yesterday was no different. And so they must have been out wandering and Bruce has got that thing going on. You know, he's got the little dementia thing happening. The official name of it is frontal and temporal frontotemporal dementia, FTTemporal dementia, FTD.

So maybe they were out wandering around and Bruce was like, that's a fireman, I've got to think a fireman, I've got to think of fireman. And off he went. And that was good of him. I mean, if I'm a police officer or Bruce Willis comes up, I'm absolutely shaking his hand.

Whether it was a heartfelt, hearty thank you or not, I'm absolutely shaking his hand. And I'm snapping a photo. with my man Bruce Willis. But, you know, it's a shame what's happening because he has not been out. The family has kept him in hiding. There's been a couple of pictures of family gatherings

where Bruce is there in the background, but nothing really big lately. So he is out and about. But I love the, granted with a heartfelt handshake. And thank you for your service. That's the wife talking. That's not Bruce. But it's good that he's out there.

thanking them. And I don't think that Bruce is doing it for any kind of publicity like Kelly is talking about because well, he's Bruce Willis. Now really all I could think of the whole time was remember in the movie

Twister, a documentary, twister. And what's his face who's dead now from a heroin overdose? Said you know Seymour, hey, Seymour. Hoffman, whatever his name is, Philip Seymour Hoffman or whatever his name was,

he's dead of a heroin overdose. But his character in this documentary where he comes up and he says, Oh, manly handshake ensues. Oh, manly handshaken soos. And that's all I could think of from Bruce Willis' wife's post with their heartfelt handshake. But that's just me.

I know, I know. 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 rink on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no. But chicken tenders, yes.

Yesterday, I talked about the possibility of you getting the Watergate Hotel 60th inauguration of the President of the United States of America package. And, you know, you could get all of the accommodations for $73,500 plus tax. Well, then I read some of the fine print after I got done recording the show. And first of all, first of all, you're not going to be able to use it because it's you had to do it seven days

in advance and today is the 17th of January as I said so the inauguration is the 20th which is Monday so it's not us you don't have the seven day build up to get there plus it's not just the $73,500

plus tax okay if you want the overnight accommodations in the presidential suite you want the round trip helicopter transportation by blade. You want private daily executive chauffeur and an Army Maybach. You get the presidential welcome

amenity, stationery and custom wax seal and keepsake at the Watergate crystal. You get a private tasting of the royal selection menu at whiskeys of whiskeys with the Watergate Hotel's esteemed whiskey council. You get all

that. Except there's a three-night minimum. That's a three-night minimum. So a full prepayment is due at the time of booking non-refundable, non-cancatable. So you don't have the seven days. And it would actually be, what was that, $400,000, $200,000? $200,000? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

No cancellation. Sorry, I know. But I booked it early. Yeah, and I wanted to And I'm sorry, no I don't apologize because there's not the seven-day window and it's not as cheap as I had told

you and I hate to I hate to give you wrong information here on chewing the fat. Could you read could you read cursive writing? Do you know how to read cursive? First of all, do you know how to write in cursive? No, I'm not asking

you. I'm just, well I am asking you, but you just answer to yourself. Okay, you don't need to answer to me. Go ahead, I'll let you answer. Oh, you can? Oh, okay. Well, good for you. You know, if you can,

you could be part of a group of people that read and transcribe U.S. documents. So if you can read cursive, the National Archives wants you to, they have 200 years worth of U.S. documents that need transcribing, or at least classifying and the vast majority from the revolutionary war, say it correctly, are handwritten in

cursive requiring people who know the flowing looped form of penmanship. So they believe that reading cursive is a superpower. Superpower! I am cursive reader. So yay!

So if you can read and write in cursive and you can read you know documents from the Revolutionary War era you're in and they want you. They want you at the National Archives

the thing is here's the thing here's the thing they want you to do it for free and I'm like it's a superpower you're not getting my superpower for free okay

the The Suzanne Isaacs, a community manager with the National Archives catalog in Washington, D.C., and I'm sure she's a fine community manager. She is part of a team that coordinates the more than 5,000 citizen archivists, helping to archive, read, and transcribe some of the more than 300 million digitized objects in its catalog. And they're looking for volunteers with the increasingly rare scale. skill. The records range from Revolutionary War

pension records to field notes of Charles Mason of the Mason-Dixon line to immigration documents from the 1890s to Japanese evacuation records to the 1950s census. We create missions where we ask volunteers to help us transcribe or tag

records in our catalog. To volunteer, all that's required is to sign up online and then to launch in. There's no application. You just pick a record that hasn't been done and read the instructions.

It's easy to do for a half hour, a day or a week. I'm not doing that for free. I love it and I'm glad that two people are doing that for free, but if I'm going to sit down and read all of this

Revolutionary War documents and transcribe it so we know exactly what it says, and you're going to put that in the National Archives, somebody's going to have to pay me a buck or two. Okay. I mean, I am, I'm sharing my superpower with you reading these documents. And, but if you want to, if you want to volunteer and do that and waste your superpower

for nothing, you go ahead. I got to go to the break room. I need something to drink. Desperately. So I mentioned being in Washington on Monday at the Watergate Hotel, which you could still go there, obviously, and be a part of it. But you're not going to get the deal that they have because you need. Well, you know what I told you.

That just can't happen now. But also Monday, live from the heart of the nation's capital, Blaze Media, is going to usher in the start of America's golden age. according to our experts with Donald Trump and his second inauguration. I want to believe that. I hope we're not

putting too much weight on that man's shoulders because we believe that Trump will take care of it and that's just where we're at right now. But everything is so screwed up. Trump will take care of it. Don't worry about it. So Glenn and Stu are going to

broadcast from the edge of the Potomac River. Are they going to set up like right outside of the University to see if they're going to have a little. little table right there by the river's edge out there maybe set up on a little pontoon boat no that's on the river this says they're going to be on the edge of the potomac river they're not going to be on it so anyway uh with uh breathtaking views of

washington dc which you'll be able to see if you subscribe to blaze tv uh-huh and the all star cast of blaze tv's brightest political minds oh is my name on here oh no no it is not i thought they were talking about me for a second uh is going to be in there for the swearing and ceremonies of our 47th present. It's supposed to be really cold too. It's going to be freezing cold. So good for them. So Glenn's going to be there.

Ali Bell Stuckie's going to be there. Matthew Peterson's going to be there. Chris Bedford, Steve Baker, and apparently some surprise special guests as well. So when I asked if I was going to be there, I'm not going to be there. You know why? Because where I'm going to be

is where I record stewing the fat here at Merk three studios is in the Pat Grand Leash studio as well. And the radio, Glenn's radio studio is just down the hall. And so they are on location from the edge

of the Potomac. And I am going to be sitting in Glenn's radio studio making sure that if it ever goes offline, somebody's there to pick up the pace for Glenn Beck radio program on the premier radio networks. So that's where the best and brightest

mind is going to be. It's going to be in Glenn's radio studio in Dallas, Texas, or at DFW and at Mercury Studio. So any time, anytime that the broadcast from the edge of the Potomac goes off air, welcome to the Glenn Beck program. That's what you're going to hear from me because I'll be in the studio. So that's not going to happen, though. That's not going to happen. I'm just a backup

just in case just in case so we're going to bring you a special coverage beginning at 11 a.m. on Blaze TV that's after of course the Glenn Beck radio program so

get ready for commentary that get cuts through the noise it'll be fantastic and that's why you need to be a member of Blaze TV right if you if you're listening now and you're not a subscriber to Blaze TV you should be. You get access behind the scenes

Yeah, just set him down in the studio and something goes wrong. He can talk for a little bit. That's fine. I guess congratulations are in order to Conan O'Brien. He is going to be the recipient of the Mark Twain Prize

for American Humor. It's pretty, that's a pretty prestigious award, actually. I mean, Richard Pryor has one. George Carlin has one. Willie Tomlin has one. Whoopie.

has one. Whoopi is an egot winner. She's great. Kevin Hart has one. The Mark Twain Prize honors individuals who have made an impact on American society in ways similar to the awards namesake.

And of course, I mean, Mark Twain was a redhead, too. So Conan's in the redhead boat. We're good to go. I mean, Conan, five-time Emmy Award winner, was president of the Harvard Lampoon.

He's written and produced for a number of television shows, including Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons, and he's set to host the 97th Academy Awards, if that comes on, if they actually broadcast that. Because everything else around the Oscars have been postponed because of the fires,

but they haven't postponed or canceled the awards show itself. So we'll see what happens there. But congratulations to Conan. Now, when does this event happen? It doesn't say, it just says we're giving you the award, and it doesn't give, doesn't say

when he's going to get the award from the Kennedy Center. Oh yeah, here we go. In March, this coming March, they're going to have the gala, and then the show will be broadcast on Netflix at a later date. So they're going to record it and then,

we'll put it up sometime. Congratulations, Conan. and here you go. You get your Mark Twain. Be sure to click on it. It's available this weekend, and you can watch it on Netflix. That will happen, but we don't know when,

because Netflix just said, yeah, we'll put it up sometime. And since my wife had her brand-new grandchild born yesterday, you know, her the fourth granddaughter for my wife, nine pounds, six ounces, 21 inches I was born yesterday Renley was born

Welcome to the world Redley and the fourth grandchild of my wife is born and not mine No it's my wife's my wife's grandchild My gosh

But you know The other three kids Watch this show called Miss Rachel I don't know if you ever seen it But it's a it's an annoying woman teaching, pretending to teach kids things. I guess she does teach things.

But anyway, she just inked the deal with Netflix, Miss Rachel. And it's just a YouTube show. I mean, it's just a monster YouTube show, Miss Rachel. And she debuts, she's got the big Netflix show now from YouTube. That's huge for her. So it's going to debut the end of January of this year. just like 10 days away from now. There will be

four 30 to 60 minute episodes. Those will be available at the end of January with more episodes launching later this year. The four episodes season consists of compilations of existing videos. Oh, so she's not coming up with any new content. She's just, you have no problem. You can put the Netflix shows on.

Use my YouTube content. That's a good gig right there. I've created all this content. use it. So the four episodes now will feature interactive lessons that teach letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and much more. Yeah. And they'll be available in English with subtitles in 33 languages.

Yeah, she started doing this like in 2019. And I know my wife's grandkids were watching Miss Rachel for quite a while. They probably still do. And look, her videos infused songs, games, and nursery rhymes with strategies from experts to help children and reach important milestones in crucial early years of learning. She has amassed over a billion views. Generates over 400 million views a month. That's why Netflix is trying to capitalize on this,

because YouTube is definitely capitalizing on this. And so be ready for that. She is ready to go for her production company, is Songs for Littles. Now, if you've never heard, Miss Rachel, this is what you will be, well, I don't want to say painfully reminded of every time you put it on, put it on. But if you just put on the YouTube page for your kids and just let it roll through the videos. Can you say mama? Okay, that's enough.

Okay, so, Shan, she wears bib overalls, and she has different age group videos that she produces as well. So congratulations to Miss Rachel for inking that Netflix deal. Good for her. Good for her. Because if it's not bad enough that you're annoying people from YouTube, now you get to annoy them. I'm sorry, educate, educate. That's the word I'm looking for it.

Anyway, chewing the fat at the blaze.com is the email address.

Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Bob Euker. Bob Euker. I know, I know. Very, very sad. Mr. Baseball, 90 years old. Rest in peace.

I know. He had a short playing career. But, you know, he made baseball great with announcing and jokes. He was in movies. You know, he was in, what's the stupid? Yeah, Major League. He's the announcer in that. He's been did commercials with, oh, I must be down to the front row.

Just a bit outside. Just awesome commercials. And he was 90. It's the team announced his death yesterday. Well, I mean, it must have been today since this is who died today. Anyway, they announced it, and it said about the most difficult days in Milwaukee Brewer's history. Yeah, I mean, he was a hometown voice of the Brewers. And apparently he had faced a private battle with small cell lung cancer since 2023.

Now, I don't know if it had anything to do with that, because if it did, they would have said something, right? but I mean, since he got the small cell lung cancer in 2023, it would have been after he would have gotten that if it had anything to do with it. Now, never mind. Don't worry about it. Never, never mind. Rest in peace to Bob Euker.

Very sad. Mr. Baseball dead at the age of 90. Then we have David Lynch. David Lynch. I mean, this guy was the filmmaker of the new world. You know, they called him a visionary. Renowned filmmaker David Lynch, you know, Twin Peaks, blue velvet, Mulholland Drive.

I mean, he was Mr. filmmaker dead at the age of 78. So I'm not sure if the emphysema from years of smoking had anything to do with this death, but it's possible. You know, it's possible. You never know. You never know. could have been anything else, I know. And I mean, I, it's times like this when you think,

well, man, I'm glad I don't smoke anymore. But then on the other hand, I'm like, eh, I could fire up a cigarette right away. Because you don't see it. It just doesn't hit you, you know? It's just like the fire of that lighter and the cigarette in your hand and the fire right in front of your face

and you just, oh, that smoke fills your lungs. you just get that nicotine and poison chemical buzz and then it was rushing through your body and you're like I need more poison in my body

and you continue right well you don't have to keep lighten it you don't have to keep lighten it but I mean it just makes you miss smoking but anyway I'm sure that the emphysema that he was attributed with for his years of smoking you had a lot to do with his death

anyway uh david lynch uh very sad uh you know he was a big transcendental meditation guy i always wanted to do that and every time i look into the transcendental medication this is between you and me yeah just between you and me i would think oh that sounds great because Seinfeld is a big transcendental guy and uh so is uh which made me think twice about it uh what's his face Howard Stern big time transcendental uh meditation guy And so that's what made me think twice about getting into it. But then I thought about it.

I listened to Seinfeld talk about it. And I thought, oh, that's interesting. But you have to go through their special transcendental thing to start doing it. And it just kind of irked me a little bit, that's all. Just kind of irked me. Now, maybe I should have been irked that it would have been better for me. I don't know.

Anyway, rest in peace to David Lynch. Visionary, filmmaker, renowned for the works. uh smoker dead at the age of 78 oh and then we had uh elan's rocket died too there's not really in what's the lie i mean uh who died today because what's the lies just around the corner by the way hey stick around we got what's the lie coming up just around the corner uh but uh elan's rocket crashed uh blew up actually it didn't crash it blew up yesterday uh but it caught the booster which was cool. You know, it took off, and then the booster came back and got caught on.

It was super cool. But then the rocket over the Turks and Kekos Islands, well, I don't know that it exploded. I mean, we all saw the explosion, and it blew up and we saw the skies light up. But they said, SpaceX said, that the starship experienced a rapid, unscheduled disassembly during its ascent burn.

That's blowing up. Okay, I got it. I got it. You experienced a rapid, unscheduled disassembly during your ascent burn. Yep, I got it. Yep, it blew up. It blew up.

Right. It was all through the skies, man. So the team said that they're going to continue to review the data from the flight test and to better understand the cause with a test like this. Success comes from what we learned. And today's flight will help us improve starships reliability. Okay. Then Elon posted preliminary indication

is that we had an oxygen fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall. I mean, I could have told them that. That was large enough to build pressure and excess of the vent capacity. Apart from obviously double-checking for leaks, we'll add fire suppression to that volume of probably increased vent area.

Nothing so far suggests pushing next launch past next month. So he's got other launches coming up. So we're good to go. And this was one of the first, reused starship. I know they had updated some of the items on it, but it was the previous starship that had gone up. This was the second time.

So I don't know. Elon says we can't have space travel without reusing the rocket ships. Now, I will say we talked about Blue Origin and Jeff Bezos being jealous of Elon and his flight that he's trying to do the same thing that Elon's been doing. And that's have the rockets take off and then the boogeons. land on the barges, and they postponed that a couple of times. Well, that went off yesterday, and it went off without a hitch. So Jeff's got to be happy.

Yep, my rocket worked. How about yours, Elon? Oh, no, it didn't. Well, but half of it did. And maybe even Elon might consider it more than half with that booster coming back and getting caught in the cradle. That is really cool. Really, really cool.

And that's definitely next level for space travel. Then the day before they launched, Elon launched a SpaceX rocket, took a couple of lunar rovers up, one from Japan and I think one from the United States. So the launches are still ongoing. And, you know, it's like, oh, we lost one? Oh, well, that's a learning experience. And you never know when you're going to have a rapid unscheduled disassembly during the ascent burn. No, you don't. No, you don't.

And I want to go on record to say, you don't want to have a lot. an unscheduled disassembly during your ascent burn. So just remember that when you're ready to hop on that rocket ship. Hey, no unscheduled disassembly, right? They'll laugh.

They'll laugh. I think it's funny. Oh, man. Get out of here. And then they will make you actually get out of here because they don't want you funny. It's rocket ship. So rest in peace to the Starship rocket ship from Elon.

And we can't do that without a What's the Lie? So it's time for what America is calling its favorite game show. What's the Lie?

What's the Lie? Where contestants try to decipher the lie? lie from four, count him one, two, three, four headlines. One of them is not true. Thus, that's we get. What's the lie? Our contestant today, Scott Smith, if he wins, not only will he get to come back for another round, he will win a Talking Sense, Jeffie Blue Freshie. And for more information, you can go to the Talking Sense Facebook group and find the Freshie scent and design just for you. If you were someone you love would like to be a contestant on What's the Lie? You can email, chewing the fat at the blaze.com.

Scott, welcome to What's the Lie. How are you, my friend? I'm doing fine, Jeffrey. How are you? I am fantastic. Now, it's come to my attention that you are a yupor. Is that true?

That's true. Wow. I think you talked to all four of us now. Right. For those of you that don't know what a yupor is, that's someone who lives in northern Michigan. Not here in Michigan, as you're seeing on my hand, but up here.

way up there. So what do you guys got, six, seven feet of snow now? Not where I'm at. It's not too bad. I'm below the snow line. Just a little bit north of me. They got quite a bit.

But I think we got so far all total this winter, maybe 30 inches or so. Oh, that's all, though. That's all. Just 30 inches. That's it, though. Well, I guess the average for this area is about 70.

Yeah. You get up farther, up farther. talking about a lot more than that. Oh, yeah, up probably 80 miles north of here, they have a sign on the side of the road that shows how high the snow's been. Right. I think it's been up to like 390.

Well, a lot of the cities have those flags on their corners so that you can know where the streets are. I mean, there's no doubt about that. It makes you want to live there, doesn't it? It's bad of 20. M28 runs across the top of the UP. Yeah. And below 28, not so much snow north of 28.

a bunch of snow. There you go. So stay south of 28 is my motto. Anyway, yeah, I'm about 10 miles south to them. Yeah, so you're good. You're good. All right, Scott. I appreciate it. So you ready to play What's the Lie? You ready to rock and roll? I mean, you're probably

going to be on it. You're up there in Northern Michigan. You've done nothing but be in your cabin for months, so you know all the news. So this is going to be easy for you. So you ready? Yep. All right. Four headlines. One not real. What's the lie?

Headline number one. Meteorologists say that fog can anger migrating birds and cause mid-flight fights. Headline number two. Haley Williams' grandfather recorded his debut album 50 years ago. It's finally coming out. Headline number three. New app that blocks social media until you get up and work. Headline number four.

Can you read cursive? It's a superpower the National Archives is looking for. Those are your four headlines. Headline number one, meteorologists say that fog can anger migrating birds and cause mid-flight fights. Headline number two, Haley Williams' grandfather recorded his debut album 50 years ago. It's finally coming out. Headline number three, new app blocks social media until you get up and work.

Headline number four. Can you read cursive? It's a superpower that National Archives is looking for. Those are your four headlines. Scott, what is the lie? Well, I haven't heard any of them this week, so I'm just going to guess number four. Oh, no.

Number four was a teaser story that I did earlier in the show, which you obviously haven't heard, which is why I did it on today's show. but they want you to be, they want you to read cursive for free. They want volunteers at the National Archives. So, man, that I want you to win too, Scott. But, oh, well, thanks for listening and playing to What's the Lie? What's the Lie?

What's the Lie is a subsidiary of Chewing the Fat Enterprises. All information is probably accurate at the time of recording. CTF, WTL, MMX. Is it still IV or do I need to move on? I think, I mean, you to update my copy. So anyway, you want to try again And take a shot? You don't know who Haley Williams is.

Let's go with that one. Yeah, she's a country music star. So that's a real headline. Yeah. Her grandfather recorded an album that she's now putting it out for him 50 years ago. Rusty Williams is his name.

So you'll try again? I forgot what one and three are. Okay, one is the meteorologists say fog can anger migrating birds and cause mid-flight fights. Three is a new app that blocks social media until you get up and work. All right, let's go with three.

Now, that's a real story, too. You know, it's hard to get them all wrong as it is to get them right. But you did. Congratulations. I don't make fun of anybody else on the radio. I appreciate it. That's awesome.

Scott, thank you, man. I really appreciate it. You be safe up there, okay? Hey, do you have it? Are you go moose hunting anything? You go up there? Got snowmobiles? What are we doing?

Well, I live in moose country. I see them, but you're not allowed to hunt them. And I don't have a snowmobile yet. Okay, so I promise I won't tell anyone. How much moose meat do you have in your freezer? You're not allowed to hunt them. I ate moose in Alaska, and it's good. Yeah, that's real good.

And there's no deer here. We've got a lot of wolves now. Oh, yeah. I rarely see a deer, but I do see the moose. than you have. It would be nice to be able to give. They're talking about maybe having a limited hunt, but it would have to be approved by.

You've got your private property. You have your private property. Put it down and cut it up and eat it. What are we talking about? Right. Yeah, I don't know if they got chips in them or something. They have an airplane flying over here. Oh, my gosh.

They have got you. Oh, yeah. I wouldn't want to do that. Oh, man. You have disappointed me now. I don't blame you. I understand. Dan, but.

I'm too old for jail. All right, Scott, thank you, man. I appreciate it. All right, thank you much. You'd be safe. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts. Unwrap holiday magic at Holtrenfrew
