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. Someone is really bummed out at the Capitol Police. They announced that they found a small bag of cocaine.

in a heavily trafficked hallway of the Capitol Police headquarters. The bag, approximately one inch by one inch, yeah, that's what cocaine comes in usually, and filled with a white powdery substance. It was discovered around 1 p.m. yesterday, for those of you listening live, today is the 16th of May, so the 15th of May. Field tests confirmed the substance was cocaine.

Boy, somebody is bummed out at the Capitol Police Department. headquarters. What did I do with that baggy of cocaine? Wait, it fell on the floor in the hallway. Gosh, darn it. Now, what will come of the investigation? Probably nothing. I mean, nothing came of the investigation of the cocaine found at the White House. They claimed that there was no surveillance footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in the area without any physical evidence. The investigation isn't going to be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vest of fuel where the cocaine was discovered. So the Secret Service just closed the investigation due to the lack of physical evidence.

So that is what's coming from this. I probably, that's probably a guarantee. I'm just going to go ahead and say it. I guarantee it. Yeah, sorry. We don't know who belonged to. And we don't know where it came from. And we just have no way of knowing.

So without any physical evidence, we're just going to have to close the investigation. Eh, sorry. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So now we're coming after David Copperfield. Yes, David Copperfield, the master magician. He has been accused.

by 16 women of engaging in sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior. Holy cow. More than half of the allegations are from women who said they were under 18 at the time of the incidents. Some said they were as young as 15, although he may not have known their ages. Uh-huh. That's the way it reads in the story. The allegations against him include claims that he drugged three women before he had

sexual relations with them, which they felt were unable to consent to. Uh-huh. Now, the claims against the 67-year-old illusionist, I'm sorry, I called him a magician, he's an illusionist, which he, of course, has denied between the years of 1980 and 2014. In fact, Copperfield's lawyers say the allegations are not only completely false, but also entirely implausible. Now my question is, where you been? Well, some women told the guardian that it was only in the aftermath of the Me Too movement that they felt able to speak out about

their alleged experiences with Copperfield. Some agreed to be named. Others didn't want to be named and were quoted on the condition of anonymity. And they, of course, in the story, are marked with an asteris. Aside from the alleged drugging, going on. Four other cases claimed that Copperfield had groped them or made them touch him in a sexual way during

a live performance on stage. Three were teenagers at the time of the alleged incidents. Family members of one 15-year-old who were seated in the audience claimed they witnessed him groped her breasts. Lawyers for Copperfield said that's completely

false, but also entirely implausible. And they one person said that Copperfield squeezed her breast after calling her on stage during a January 2014 performance at MGM Grand Casino Hotel. She reported the allegation to MGM and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, but she said, well, my claim was never taken seriously. Oh, okay. Well, the police department said there was insufficient evidence. They also looked at video footage of the performance and did not show him touching the chest area of any participant. So what part of the accusations weren't taken seriously

when the video footage showed it didn't happen? Okay. Now, one girl claims to have had sexual relations with David only after she turned 18 and he admitted to this so apparently he met her when she was 15 and started up a relationship

with her calling her late at night and she thinks now well he was just grooming me but after she turned 18 they had consensual sex for the first time so whose fault is that now we know we're going after David because he was mentioned in this

Jeffrey Epstein document that was unsealed this year earlier this year. But just because he was in the document doesn't mean he committed any crime. I mean, he may be some kind of a dirt bag, but there's no proof of, there's no real proof of any of that. According to one sworn statement, Copperfield asked one woman who later emerged was one of Epstein's victims, whether she was aware that girls were getting paid to find other girls for Epstein. His lawyers told the in Copperfield had heard a rumor about this but had no knowledge or belief that anything improper was going on. His lawyer said he had seen no reason to contact law enforcement or to raise the matter with others after the woman he asked did not express any concern.

Oh, okay. And that Epstein was not regularly socializing with Jeffrey Epstein and went on to say that he did not know about Epstein's horrific crimes. Like the rest of the world, he learned about it from the press. He also, but because of that, he got the boot. Remember when he was going to team up with Save the Children, the Global Charity, for the stunt scheduled in February to make the moon disappear? And then Save the Children said, yeah, we're going to not, we're not going to partner with David Copperfield after that.

Oh, okay. So the illusion obviously didn't occur, and they removed the announcement from the website. So Popperfield said they ended the relationship. in January of 2024. That's when that document released that he had relations with Jeffrey Epstein or new new Jeffrey Epstein. So I guess he's going to do make the moon disappear sometime this year. But just remember that so far he has not been charged with a crime.

These are just accusations coming at David Copperfield, the 67-year-old illusionist. And remember, the... time that he met the girl when she was 15. That was back in 1991. So three years later, in 1994, when she turned 18, they had consensual sex. So she said it was her first time. So, you know, I mean, is it kind of dirtbaggery? Yeah. But it's not illegal. So I know, don't look at me like that. I get it. I get it. But, man, why are these allegations just coming to the forefront now? But the Guardian is all over it and we will be as well whenever they post something against the illusionist. Well, we know the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season is likely to be

Wow, about 15% of its restaurants. in its attempt to stave off bankruptcy, but I think they're going to go ahead and end up filing Chapter 11. You know, the story here I find fascinating.

The iconic chain opened its first location in 1968, an hour outside of Orlando, Florida. Yeah, that's called Lakeland, Florida. I'm not sure why they don't. I mean, they must be pissed at the city of Lakeland or something. I don't know. An hour outside of Orlando. Oh.

Okay, thank you. And by 2000 and the 2010's declining sales meant they had to, you know, offload some of the brand. So they included a sale leaseback agreement, which Red Lobster then had to take on pricey leases. Longtime shrimp provider, the Thai Union, bought a stake in 2016 and tried to boost profits by slashing suppliers and gutting waitstaff schedules. and then in 2020, it was said that they were looking to up the brand, and now up yours as, you know, the executives churned, and they were, you know, the brand was tarnished. And they also made the $20 endless shrimp part of a permanent menu

instead of limiting the promotion. So that meant that they lost, I don't know, $11 million, according to the endless shrimp deal. So now they're looking for a new owner. And, you know, who knows? knows if they can, you know, stave off the bankruptcy. I don't think they'll be able to. But very sad if you're a Red Lobster fan. It's been quite a while since I've been to Red Lobster. But, man, I, at one point in my life, a Red Lobster was a big part of my life. And I'm a fan of

the Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Just keep those coming. You know what? Keep the shrimp coming too. So we'll see what happens to Red Lobster. If you're a fan, go there. Help him. out, I guess. I'm sure the prices are, you know, through the roof just like every place else. I see where McDonald's has now got the message, it looks like, so they're going to have a $5 value meal as a limited time promotion subsidized by Coca-Cola in June. Isn't that interesting? Yeah, I mean, you can't go through a drive-thru at McDonald's without dropping some cash. I mean, that's true everywhere. No doubt about it. I mean, you can't go through a grocery store line

without dropping some serious cash these days. Isn't it wonderful? Yes, yes, it is. Good times. Good times. I mean, even Walmart, even Walmart is laying off hundreds of corporate employees and they're forcing others to relocate

in an effort to cut some costs and they're pushing for more in-person work. That must got to be corporate headquarters. Yeah, you're going to have to come in. We don't know what you're doing at home, but we need to see your face. So we'll see how well that works out. I mean, even checking out at Walmart these days,

you realize, wow, that was expensive. I've got three bags here, and it's still charging me way too much for the three bags I have in my hand. So hopefully maybe you win the lotto and you don't have to worry about it. Today is the 16th, as I said earlier, if you're listening live.

So tomorrow the 17th of May, you have the mega millions drawing, which is $393 million jackpot, which is $181.5 million cash payout. And then Saturday, we have the Powerball drawing at $77 million jackpot. That's growing a little bit, with $36 million as the cash payout.

So good luck. You went, though, is that maybe you feel a little bit better about going through that grocery store line. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink, desperately. According to Nielsen and their gauge ratings, Disney leads TV viewing in the U.S. for April,

capturing 11.5% of all TV usage, followed closely by YouTube at 9.6%. Now, I will say that that's, I don't know, to me it feels a little misleading because, YouTube is just YouTube. But when you start looking at Disney, they figure that that includes streaming on Hulu and Disney Plus,

which accounted for 4.9% of all TV use for the reporting period. And then, and that was April 1st through the 28th, as well as ABC, ESPN, Disney's other cable and streaming properties. ABC and ESPN carried the most watched single telecast in April. Yeah, the women's basketball championship game. So, I mean, it's like, I don't know, it's kind of misleading to me. But then they break it down to the media distributor gauge.

And so they give Disney number one with 11.5% that YouTube with 9.6%. Then NBC Universal at 8.9%. Paramount, 8.8%. Warner Brothers Discovery, 8.1%. Netflix has 7.6%. I think that's 7.6. If I can read that number, that's correct. Fox has 6.1%.

Prime Video, 3.2%. Scripps, 2.3%. Okay, Scripps. Weagle has 1.5%. The Roku Channel, 1.4%. A&E has 1.3%. Hallmark has 1.2%. And AMC Networks has 1.1%.

That's a little surprising. So Scripps Network, which, includes ion and bounce TV. Weagle broadcasting is Me TV. Weird. So they accounted both of those accounted for like 4% of TV. Roku Channel is the only

standalone fast service to make the list at 1.4%. Okay. Tubi and Pluto TV are rolled into the tallies for Fox and Paramount, respectively. A&E Hallmark, AMC just crossed the 1% rankings. The 14 companies

in the rankings accounted for 72.6% of all TV viewing for the month. That's interesting. That's interesting. Maybe it's just me. Speaking of interesting, though, I see where Netflix has now got into the live NFL broadcasts. They did a deal with the NFL Netflix that they are going to announce, or they are going to broadcast two Christmas Day NFL games in the next three seasons. They get NFL games on Christmas.

Christmas Day, 2024, 2025, and 26. Now, I don't know how much they paid for it. That has not been announced yet, but I bet it is a lot of money. So you're looking at what? Paramount, I think, paid $115 million for that game. So the Netflix gets two games live. You're probably looking at maybe they got a deal for two games at $200 million. And they're three years.

So that's $600 million, half a billion. and 600. I bet you they spent at least 800 million for those for that deal with the NFL. That's incredible. Maybe even more. I mean, that is crazy. And you think Netflix cost money now? Ah ha! Aha! Ah! Be ready for your price to increase. I mean, they just put in a bunch of money to the WWE. They put in a bunch of money to broadcast a live fight. Now they're in the NFL game. And, you know, who knows what's going to happen with Netflix? I mean, they may sign the deal where it's going to be international games seen on Netflix,

and you might have to pay more to get that here in the United States because the other deals will be for United States broadcast only. And I said Paramount was Peacock that bought the NFL game on Christmas, which was, I think they paid $110 million for that one game and an NFL game, playoff game. So we'll see how much Netflix paid. I mean, that's unbelievable amount of money they had to have paid for those three games. But okay, we'll see.

I mean, they're all in on live sports. And just when you think, well, maybe I should cancel my Netflix account, they do this. Everybody wants in on live sports. I mean, Prime has, you know, did their deal with the NFL. And Roku has secured a multi-year deal with Major League Baseball. stream exclusive Sunday lead-off games for free on the Roku channel. So, I mean, they all want, they all want in on live sports. And I don't blame them.

Live sports is the way to go. Then I see where there's plenty of new shows in the works as well. I see where only murders in the building. They're going to have season four. I saw the promo for that. That starts in August, the end of August on Hulu. The first three seasons of only murders in the building. were great, so

season four should be awesome again with Steve Martin, Martin Short, and what's her face, Selena Gomez. Who's a part of another show that is premiering on Disney Channel and Disney

Plus later this year called Wizards Beyond Waverly Place? And I see a sequel The Roadhouse is in the works starring Jake Gillinghall. Huh? Prime Video orders legally blonde centered around Elwood's

high school years in the 90s the first legally blonde was awesome. I mean, I love that stupid movie. And then you have what else was going on? Oh, Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie are going to reunite for a new reality

series on Peacock. There's been 20 years since they did The Simple Life. Wow. And there was a long list of stuff. Oh, Snoop Dog. and Michael Bubele will join the voice as coaches for season 26. Holy cow.

They've had 26 seasons of the voice. Wow. And I see where James Franco and Tommy Lee Jones, who's got to be, how old is Tommy Lee Jones now, starring in The Razors Edge. Wasn't that an old movie?

Are they just redoing that? No, this is now, this is a different Razors Edge that I thought it was Bill Murray that did a movie called The Razors Edge. That was great. I remember watching it. Yeah, it was from 1984, The Razors Edge with Bill Murray. Right. And he is, I think if I remember right, like, he goes back in time. The plot is just before World War I. It's been planned to raise money. Larry shares a final night. And then they go, he goes all over the world, I think, and he becomes a, I don't know. I just, I don't know. I just remember liking the movie. And with this movie, this Razor's Edge, with James Franco and Tommy Lee Jones. Let's see. The mob hitman vows to leave his deadly past behind. He faces an impossible choice when his daughter is kidnapped

and a woman he loves becomes a target of a syndicate. He's forced to undertake one final perilous mission while being pursued by an assassin even more lethal.

But Gloria Jane, Strock, born in Manhattan, July 10th, 1924, dead at the age of 99. You may remember her. she played the television show McMillan and wife she appeared in films with fun with Dick and Jane and she's she was quite the actress

I mean who can forget her as the secretary for Rock Hudson in McMillan and wife you can't you can't forget her for that I mean that was when Rock was married to Susan St. James as McMillan that was his wife

I think it was Sanford I think the show was set in San Francisco, and he was the police commissioner, I think, or the district attorney. No, he was the head of the police. And what an acting job because he acted like he was married to Susan St. James, which could be nothing from farther from the truth. Anyway, Gloria struck a dead at the age of 99. very sad. She was around for a long time. And her family is a big time Hollywood people. So rest in peace, Gloria.

She died of natural causes, according to her family, in her home in Tucson, Arizona. Now, I will say that I did like her line about she was questioned at one point, I don't know, 10 years or so ago, about her longevity. And she said that, I wake up every day singing and go to bed the same way, and that puts me in a good mood for the day

and gives me pleasant dreams at night. Amen. Rest in peace, glorious stock, dead at the age of 99. Then I see a headline that says Angela Bassett from 911, and I love Angela Bassett. I've enjoyed her work forever at 911. I mean, my house plays that stupid show more than I would like. She was said to be mourning one of the people who work on 911.

So his name is Rico Prem, P-R-I-E-M. He died over the weekend at the age of 66, and 911 is reeling from his death. Apparently, he died on the freeway overnight after a 14-hour work night in Panama on ABC's on the series, and then they all left and they were either coming back the next day or the day after. And he had a crash on the highway. And so there are other reports of, you know, whether it was his fault or someone else's fault or whether he fell asleep. But we were for sure going to blame this at.

He worked 14 hours. And so, okay, I got it. But rest in peace, Rico Prime. And I guess he was getting ready for retire. He was at the age of 66 and everyone loved him. I will say that I read Aisha Hines' reflection on his death from her Instagram post, and it was probably one of the best I've ever read when someone dies. I mean, it said she wrote on her Instagram, devastated.

Words ever insufficient. none able to carry the harrowing heartbreak reverberating through our 911 family. As the industry processes the passing of one of our invaluable and invested individuals, notably loyal, thus lauded and loved for his commitment to his craft and sharing the wisdom he gleaned from decades of working in this industry, hearts are heavy, navigating feelings of grief and gratitude for the life of RICO Prime. The unsung heroes of our show, any show really, are the scores of crew members whose names seldom move from the back of call sheets to household names, though they contribute an immense amount of time, talent, and tenacity to servicing the stories that fill our screens small and large.

Time that seems invisible to the untrained eye, but it is not. Our crews are the cornerstone of our community. Their individual effort and areas of expertise create a cumulative, effect, ensuring the work we do, the characters we portray, lands in the lives of audiences around the world. The crew is an integral to the execution of every idea that begins in the minds of creatives, becoming long-lasting memories and moments that live on in the hearts of humanity. With each passing year, our 911 cast and crew have undoubtedly become a family. We strive to comfort and care for each other. We aim to welcome visitors.

with warmth, we hold one another up through hard times, and this certainly qualifies as a profoundly hard time. Rico graced us with his presence and passion before he passed away in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 11th. It is the hope of the unspoken assumption that when we wrap a day's work, we will see each other again to do it all over again the next day. His passing has stilled our hearts and signaled for more conversation and care in the way. He was stilled. He's that area. In this moment, I want to express deep love for our crew and give thanks and reverence for the legacy of Rico Prime, whispering a gentle prayer to the sacred soft spaces within his family's hearts that ache in his absence. Wow, that was incredible, heartfelt, and really

So I was looking at the list of the top baby names for 2023. According to the Social Security Administration, which released its annual list of most popular names for newborns, both names have been at the top for years. Liam's reign among the baby boy names is now in its seventh year, with 20,802 of the 1.7 million boys born in 2023. and Olivia has been the top name for girls since 2019.

the name proximo I love the name proximo and I think I want to go to see Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes this afternoon. I have the tickets already. And so I'll give you the review tomorrow here on Chewing the Fat. But I think one of the lead apes is Proximo Caesar in the movie.

So I'm looking forward to that. But I can't wait for a kingdom of the planet of the apes. I've been looking forward to it for a week. Now, well, more than that since I knew it was happening. But it's been out since last weekend. never did get a chance to go see it. It's a review coming tomorrow on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. You know, I see where Francis Ford Coppola has a new sci-fi film out that I guess

supposed to premiere at, uh, con. Is it con or Keynes? I never, it's the Keynes Film Festival. All right, I just, I always, every time I see it, C-A-N-N-E-S. What's it supposed to be? Can. Yeah, okay, so I see C-A-N-N-E-S, and I, and I just, and I just, and I just, and I just, and I just, and I just, I always, and, and I think it's the Caines Film Festival, but it's not, is it?

It's... I got it. Okay. So the Francis Ford Coppola, new sci-fi film, is going to premiere at the... Can. Film Festival this week. Now, apparently, he's been working on this for 40 years, okay? He's described this as a Roman epic set in modern America,

stars Adam Driver. He sold a winery that he owned to fund this movie. He spent $120 million of his own money to make this movie. Okay, he said, I couldn't care less about the financial impact whatsoever. Uh-huh. So we'll see how it goes. So far, the reactions have been mixed. Reviews range from bat crap crazy to visionary.

So he had a viewing for executives and filmmakers, but we'll see how it works out. The crew talked about massive disorganization, and Coppola was smoking weed in his trailer for hours. Sources also alleged that he tried to kiss topless and scantily clad female extras. I mean, so what he's wandering around, he's high, he sees somebody half naked. What's he supposed to do? Not notice? There wasn't any harassment complaints.

Maybe there will be in an... another 100 years, but for right now, you can't complain about it right away. You have to wait 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 years before you can say anything. So we'll see how the Roman epic set in modern America from Francis Ford Coppola that will premiere at Khan Can's this week. We'll see how it works out. Can. Yeah, I got it, okay?

All right, let's get out of here. I got a joke of the day sent to Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com from Derek. Now, I feel like I don't know that, I mean, I've seen this joke before, all right, and I've read it before. I don't know if I've shared it with you, the Chewing the Fat listener. So if I have, I apologize, and, you know, some jokes are meant to be, you know, bet to be read more than once because they're funny. All right. So this email, this is a joke of the day. I didn't write it.

It comes from Derek. And here you go. Josie wasn't the best pupil at Sunday school. She often fell asleep. And one day while she was sleeping, the teacher asked her a question. Who is the creator of the universe? Now, Joe was sitting next to Josie and decided to poke her with a pin to wake her up. And Josie jumped and yelled God Almighty.
