Starting point is 00:00:25 We'd love to talk. Business. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Selling human bones is illegal? Huh, I didn't know. And neither did a central Florida woman. She claims that I didn't know it was illegal.
Starting point is 00:00:46 She was arrested Thursday and arraigned on Friday. She's out on bail now. Kimberly Ann Shopper in Deltona, Florida. She was charged with trading in human tissue. Florida second degree felony. A conviction can carry both a fine and a prison term. That's going to be determined at sentencing. She advertised on her Wicked Wonderland store that she had two human skulls for $90, a human
Starting point is 00:01:18 clavicle and a scapola for $90, a human rib for $35, a human vertebrae for $35, and a partial human skull for $600. So that's on the shop's website and the Facebook page. Florida court ordered shopper released on Bond, as I said, and the case is already getting a lot of attention.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Yeah, because she didn't know. She was just selling the stuff on her website. She had other items in her store, Wicked Wonderland, that she claimed were antique and vintage with a Victorian Gothen flair and oddities and unusual art.
Starting point is 00:02:02 And so merchandise does appear, according to this story, to include religious and occult items such as crucifixes and pentagrams. How dare she? And they offer events, workshops, and a conjure and reading service. Okay. We'll talk to your past people in your lives, your grandma, your lover, whoever you want to talk to, we'll do that. So did you know that you couldn't sell human bones?
Starting point is 00:02:31 I mean, we've talked about it on this show before, but I can understand how someone would think I've been advertising it for a while. What are you going to do? I want to sell this stuff. I mean, it's not like she murdered the people. That's important. Where did they come from?
Starting point is 00:02:43 Where are you getting the skulls? You digging them up from graveyards or do people giving them to you? That's where the problem lays. But if you were looking to get a skull from Wicked Wonderland, and she doesn't have them for sale any longer. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat.
Starting point is 00:03:01 So the official launch time was 8.30 a.m. Central. The capsule landing back here on Earth occurred at 840 and 21 seconds. The mission elapsed time was 10 minutes and 21 seconds. And it's off. New Shepherd. Here's a tower. Crude NS 31 Mission. And into the space we go. Carmeline.
Starting point is 00:03:51 And it was the all-women launch. Yes, I watched it. I got sucked into it. No problem. I had to do it. Isha Bo, Amanda Nijin, Gail King, Katie Perry, Karen Flynn, Lauren Sanchez, all went into space.
Starting point is 00:04:11 or technically went into space just passing the Carmen line for their 10 minute ride. Wasn't even the full 11 minutes. I mean, they should ask for a refund. I thought it was an 11 minute ride. No, 10 minutes and 21 seconds. Okay, that's a little under my 11 minute window.
Starting point is 00:04:29 So Katie Perry said that they were putting the ass back an astronaut. And they did. And they did. Gail King was really nervous and didn't want to do it. Hated to fly. She was very happy and really enjoyed the ride.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Katie Perry said it really brought to focus her love of everything. It was just a wonderful thing. Words do not describe what it brings to you going into space. So there you have it. You'll be seeing those interviews everywhere.
Starting point is 00:05:03 And I can't wait to play the video from inside the capsule when they get to, when they get past the Carmen line and go weightless because if I want to see Katie Perry putting the ass back in astronaut. I guess that's just me. Congratulations though, successful flight.
Starting point is 00:05:26 You know, they've done that 31 times. It's what they said on the live broadcast. I did not know it was that many times. But they had like 15 launches without humans. And then, of course, this is the NS 31. mission. So yeah, I mean, there you go. I was particularly fascinated by their reaction. I mean, and I'd like to know, you know, if they all paid or if Jeff was just doing this for a promotion. Because I will say that Katie Perry being interviewed at the end made it seem like it was
Starting point is 00:05:59 she was doing a commercial for Blue Origin. So maybe she got the free ride. And look, you're coming off and you're going to say that everybody needs to do this. Because the first ticket sold for 28 million bucks through an online auction. So, is everybody paying that much? Has the price gone down a little bit? I don't know. I don't know. Is Jeff just footing the bill for the wife and, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:23 five other women that she wanted to go into space with? Probably. I would guess. Probably. But we'll see. We shall see. I'm just awaiting the video from inside the capsule. I didn't see Oprah there.
Starting point is 00:06:37 She was on the sideline, though. Oprah was not part of the team that went into space. She's got to be a little bit of her. She had to just show up and support Gail. Instead, she's just standing on the ground, watching the rocket take off. A little surprising. Oprah wasn't on the flight.
Starting point is 00:06:52 And Katie was not as cocky at the end as she was prior to, right? I told you it sounded like a commercial for Blue Origin, and she was thankful and it brought nothing but love. And that's what it was when she was in the Carmen Line fly. voting around and just brought all kinds of love to her. You know, prior to, I told you, not only did she say she was going to, that the women were going to put the ass back in an astronaut,
Starting point is 00:07:21 she also said that space is going to finally be glam. She kissed the earth when they came back, though. So I guess the ass and the astronaut was happy to have it back on the place. planet. And I saw a couple others kiss the ground when they came off the capsule as well, or came out of the capsule. But I think Katie actually kissed
Starting point is 00:07:48 dirt. The others had this the rock, the red carpet, or the rug out, and they kissed that. They didn't actually kiss dirt. Good for Carrie. Good for Katie. She at least kissed the dirt. She wasn't ashamed about it. I'll tell you that. She was happy to be back on Earth. For those of us that are still on Earth and have never been to space,
Starting point is 00:08:08 even if it is just the other side of the Carmen line, we may want to move every now and then on this planet. We haven't been able to move outside of off of this planet yet. I know many people are hoping that that happens, but it hasn't happened yet. And if you're looking to move, you're going to need some help because it's a really big job. And there's a lot of time and a lot of jumping through hoops
Starting point is 00:08:30 and the stakes are really high because your house is usually one of your biggest investments ever. And so it's a financial decision. that you and your family need to make, and you're going to want someone who can help you go through it and actually try to make you a little bit of money instead of losing money on every house that you sell that you purchased in the past.

Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 1-8665-3-1-2-60 or visit comex Ontario.ca. Meta under fire again. Opening arguments begin today in a antitrust trial against META.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Federal regulators arguing the company monopolized personal social networking services by acquiring smaller rivals with the goal of squashing competition. Yeah. The case may potentially result in META being forced to divest from a number of key apps, including Instagram and WhatsApp. Good luck with that. The realization of the suit originally brought in December of 2020. prosecutors are expected to focus on alleged emails from CEO Mark Zuckerberg stating it's better to buy than compete with potential competitors.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Yeah, the company purchased Instagram in 2012 for a billion. Wow. I mean, 2012, a billion dollars. And WhatsApp, two years later, for $21 billion. Wow. The former new now accounts, let's see, Instagram now accounts for half of the. the company's U.S. revenue are nearly half. And WhatsApp has estimated 2.7 billion global users.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Holy cow. We'll see what happens because Google goes under fire next week. Yeah. They are, Google has an evidentiary hearing on Monday overcharges. It monopolized the online search market. Uh, yeah. I mean, the Federal Trade Commission approved all these deals. It's been 10 years since, I mean, they approved Facebook's purchase of Instagram and WhatsApp.
Starting point is 00:12:20 So now we're just supposed to say that the FTC said, oh, man, we probably shouldn't have done that. Sorry. Okay, if you say so. I mean, look, we all knew this was the deal and we let it happen. And so we just want the search engine to work and Google let it work. I know, I know, I'm with you. You know, if it's not, there's nothing really free. So if you're using the search engine, they're making money.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Same with Facebook. Same with Instagram. I got you. But we all bought into it because we just wanted to use the app. And here we are. And the Texas lottery, I guess, lawsuit and investigation is still ongoing against the actual Texas lottery, not the Powerball or the Mega Millions. But there was, remember they had the scam and I call it a scam.
Starting point is 00:13:13 They call it a scam. I'm not calling it a scam. scam. I think it was a smart move. So this professional gambler who goes by the handle, the Joker, he had this elaborate money-making scheme. And again, it's just an idea.
Starting point is 00:13:26 That scheme is such a hard word. And he guaranteed a $57.8 million windfall, which he did. He bankrolled a group led by this former London banker to buy 26 million lottery tickets to cover
Starting point is 00:13:42 99.3% of the number of combinations at a dollar apiece and all but guarantee a $95 million jackpot. They won. And after expenses had $57.8 million to show for it. I mean, that's a good deal. Now, one lottery player who won $7.5 million got all butt hurt because he thinks that because of this guy, the Joker, his winnings were diminished. Oh, he could have made more.
Starting point is 00:14:16 I know. He won only 7.5 million, so it's tough to feel sorry for him. But he filed a lawsuit against that. And he said that he filed this lawsuit, his winnings would have been bigger if there hadn't been the fraudulent tactics of the Joker prior to his win.
Starting point is 00:14:33 And Governor Greg Abbott ordered an investigation into the profitable plot. Because they were using these buyers that go and buy tickets instead of buying each ticket, you know, going in. The Joker didn't go buy, didn't buy 26 million lottery tickets all by himself. And that's what the problem is.
Starting point is 00:14:55 So we'll see what happens with that. I will say the mega millions tickets are $5. And I thought everybody was going to have a chance to win that. So I purchased a $5 mega millions ticket. And I didn't win. So zero is still zero. I know that if you win, you get more money, but you're charging to be more money,
Starting point is 00:15:20 and there's supposed to be a bigger opportunity for me to win. And that hasn't happened. So if others are spending more money, it's five bucks a ticket now. If others are spending $5 a ticket to Megamillions and they're not winning, I would guess that their sales are going to go down. and maybe that's expected from the mega millions people
Starting point is 00:15:44 that the sales would drop down in the beginning and then pick back up. But it's only going to pick back up if you have more winners. And so I was kind of hoping that I'd buy early and be a winner. I'm still hoping. Still hoping. Okay, I hope that you follow me on my social media at Jeffrey JFR on X, Jeff Fisher Radio, on Instagram and Facebook,

And you can always get a cameo from me at Jeffrey JFR. on the Cameo app at Jeffey JFR on the Camio app. That, of course, is not free, but it's worth every do doggone penny.

And then Brad and I do a Saturday morning live show as well. It's on a bunch of different apps. The only one you need to concern yourself with is at Jeffey JFR on X.

And I believe if you go to SaturdaymourningLive.com, it tells you where everything is. But really, just watch it on X. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So a Minecraft movie pulls in $80 million at the box office on its second weekend,
Starting point is 00:17:40 making it the number one movie of the weekend. And that makes it become the 20, 25's biggest seller at the U.S. domestic box office, a Minecraft movie. I know, they've made 550.6 million globally already. Wow, and 281 million domestically. Now, I will say, you know, fans are going crazy at theaters, throwing popcorn, and they're making, the theaters are all wound up, because please enjoy the movies responsibly.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Don't be throwing popcorn everywhere. And I saw where Jack Black showed up at a theater to promote the movie. And it's reported as him telling people not to throw popcorn all over the theater. However, he does say that when he walks into the theater. The theater is packed. And here comes Jack Black. They don't realize that it's Jack Black right away. And then they see him and they go crazy.
Starting point is 00:18:41 And he talks to them a little bit and he leaves and excites the crowd even. more. You get the impression from his appearance that he doesn't really mean. Don't throw popcorn all over the theater. I got the impression that he wants you to do that. For today's presentation
Starting point is 00:19:01 of a Minecraft movie, please, no throwing popcorn, and also no lapis lazuli. All right, then he's out. Now they start realizing. Oh, hey, that's Jack Black. Yeah, the crowd goes crazy.
Starting point is 00:19:23 All these kids are going crazy for Jack. You ready to rock? He's got his Minecraft gear on. And then he's down at the, you know, the middle main walkway in the theater. And he comes up into the crowd, his Minecraft's hat and his, I guess that's a sword or a pick. Because he's mining, he's mining, his mine a pick. I'm not seen the movie, I apologize. apologize. And he high fives a couple of people. He skips in the middle. And he goes down into the crowd.
Starting point is 00:20:13 And he comes back the other way. The crowd goes crazy for him. And out he goes. Wow. That is incredible. I did not get. I know what he said. Hey, don't be doing that. But that is not the impression he gives. So theaters. luck god bless because i don't think i don't think you're going to have uh i think the responsible enjoyment during the Minecraft movie is popcorn and other items being strewn about in your theater so you just may as well be ready for it then we have uh the king of kings number two wow what a difference you got a Minecraft movie at 80 million you got king of kings 19 million all the reviews on that were really really good it's the uh animated biblical film
Starting point is 00:21:09 for kids and it's becoming the highest opening animated biblical film yeah i mean okay so it's quite a that's a niche area but all reports are that it is really really good and then the amateur that's a rami malox a spy thriller i actually that looked like i wanted to see that the king of kings too don't look at me like that now that got 15 million so the king of kings beat the amateur now they say oh this was outperforming expectations was it that Oh, was it? 15 million. They've done a 32.2 million global for the spy thrill of the amateur.
Starting point is 00:21:46 I feel like they expected better than that. And then warfare, drop. The Chosen Last Supper still hanging in there on the top ten at six. A Working Man. Wow, let's see, Working Man. How are that week three? So they got 3.1 million. It's 33.5 million domestic.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Ooh, that is not good for that movie. Disney Snow White. How is Disney Snow White doing? Still in the top ten. only at 8th. Week 4, 2.8 million. 81.9 million domestic. Cross the 180 million mark globally, and the budget was 270 million.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Wow. That movie is a flop and will be for quite some time. Like the biggest flop ever. And of course, you have the woman in the yard and the good, bad, ugly film, which only opened in 599. theaters and it was number 10 with under a million domestic 812,000 so that's probably good for that movie good bad and ugly and you know speaking of snow white and how it took a dive and i thought
Starting point is 00:22:51 you know the world of hollywood would uh take that into consideration nope because i read a story today about the fantastic four uh Disney uh you know the fantastic four's new disney marvel cinematic universe great movie. I saw where they talked about how Jessica Kirby, who plays Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman, explained how she planned to reinterpret her character, despite the fact that
Starting point is 00:23:18 the film is set in the 1960s in a parallel world within Marvel's multiverse. Oh, okay. So if you played an exact 60s Sue today, everyone would think she was a bit of a door mat. So figuring out how to capture the essence of what she represented to
Starting point is 00:23:34 each generation where the gender politics were different and embody that today was one of the greatest joys of this. Okay. So we're going to just reimagine the Fantastic Four, too. All right. Have fun with that. Disney Marvel Cinematic Universe. Good luck.
Starting point is 00:23:51 And I see where, you know, last weekend was the big premiere weekend of Coachella. And then we have the big Coachella weekend coming up this weekend as well. Huh. So we had a Palm Sunday. And now we've got good Friday this week. and Easter Sunday, and we're going to have the Coachella party going on as well. And it's 420, so it's a good excuse to party wherever you're at. But I saw this, and I don't know if it's true.
Starting point is 00:24:16 So I'm just going to, I'll tell you what this says, and that you can, you know, it's definitely believable. According to this, about 60% of Coachella attendees financed their tickets to attend the festival. It says that's according to Billboard. I don't know what metrics or where they got that from. but if you need to take a loan out to go to Coachella, I'm sorry, Coachella, you probably shouldn't go.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Coachella won't tell you that, but, I mean, they get at least $100,000 a weekend, right? Maybe more. And I know people were having a nightmare about how they couldn't get into the campgrounds, and it was such a nightmare. And some people were leaving.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Uh-huh. But, you know, the monster bands are playing both weekends, and, you know, people are financing the tickets? Yeah, you probably don't need to go if you're financing the Coachella tickets, but that doesn't matter because you want to go and it doesn't matter. You'll just finance your tickets. Okay, all right, go ahead, have fun. I mean, the tickets are what, 600 bucks a pop? Something like that. Probably a little bit more if you wanted VIP or anything like that. But just to get into Coachella, you know, probably 600 bucks a pop and you still have to have some kind of housing and you have to
Starting point is 00:25:31 eat, right? So, thousand bucks you know 2,000 if you're living large you got to finance that that does not according to this the payment plan starts with a down payment
Starting point is 00:25:45 of as low as 50 yeah you're just going to spend 50 and get you know $2,000 worth of fun for a weekend and then then you're going to be paying for it all right all right
Starting point is 00:26:00 I just that doesn't make sense to me but I know. That's just me. Now, I will say maybe that's putting it out of credit card. So if you put it on a credit card, does that count as financing? Probably. So yeah, probably. I mean, I could see that. But, you know, most people don't consider that financing a ticket or a party or a restaurant or food or whatever they do.
Starting point is 00:26:23 A credit card, that's just paying for it, even though you probably will never pay back your credit card debt. But I don't know that. they consider that financing. Well, maybe they do. I don't know. It just seems like a waste if you can't afford it. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

Starting point is 00:27:46 Bruce Lee's 1940 to 1973. He was the sniper stick, a game of death at 78. He died of natural causes at a hospice in Granada Hills. That's what his daughter said. I mean, he was a career more than 70 years. Just incredible. He was, you know, Mr. Villan.
Starting point is 00:28:07 And so he had a great, really amazing life, though. He had multiple football scholarships when he came out of high school, but he signed to play Major League Baseball with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Then he got a shoulder injury, which ended his baseball dreams. Then he started working as a claims adjuster for an insurance company. This was in Pittsburgh. And he was working as a model on the side and taking acting classes. And then he got his breakthrough role in the 70s.
Starting point is 00:28:34 And he was an ordained minister for almost four decades in social institutions and prisons in Los Angeles and nationwide. He has a new memoir that's going to come out this year, called Cross Airs, C-R-O-S-H-E-I-R-S. And so that should be a fun read. No, really, it should be a fun read. Mel Novak, dead at the age of 90. Then we have Don Mischer.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Don Mischer, you know Don, Don, he was the renowned TV director-producer of the Oscars, the Emmys, Super Bowl, and Olympics. He was 85. He, according to reports, died peacefully in his sleep as well in Los Angeles. So rest in peace to Don Mish. You're dead at the age of 85. Then we have Beloved, according to the headlines, and musician Mike Barry, Mike Barry, dead at the age of 82.
Starting point is 00:29:36 You remember Mike from the popular series, Are You Being Served? He was also a singer, and he performed on the same stage. with the Beatles and the stones and he was I guess you'd know him if you see him I saw him and went oh yeah him he died peacefully

Starting point is 00:30:12 in Boston in public dead at the age of 54. Really sad to say that he is dead at such a young age. 54 is young? Yeah, you know, in today's world, we just got to talk about, you know, a couple of guys that were in their 80s and one in their 90s. They did not divulge how or what caused Nicky Kat's death.
Starting point is 00:30:35 So rest in peace to Nikki Kat, dead at the age of 54. Then we have Kyran, Lays. Kyra and Lacey, former LSU wide receiver, has passed away at the age of 24. We all saw him perform for LSU, and he was a great athlete, and he was arrested on January on a warrant over a December 17th car crash that killed a 78-year-old man in Louisiana. Now, there's new details emerging about his death because he was reported to have been in an argument that led to a police chase and a car crash. This is a new, a different one than the one that killed the 78-year-old U.S. Marine veteran. And then police found him later dead in his vehicle from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. So he was spinning out of control and took to take his own life.
Starting point is 00:31:38 very sad. Look, no matter how bad it feels, maybe, you know, Karen didn't, you know, he didn't see a way out. There's no baby about it. He did see a way out except for, you know, taking his own life. But if you are struggling and need to talk to someone,
Starting point is 00:31:54 9-8-8 is the lifeline 24-7. You can call. And if you need someone to talk to about anything, if you're thinking about taking your own life, a 9-88 lifeline. I know we've talked about it before, but, you know, it always, for sure, and we've talked to people who have contemplated suicide,
Starting point is 00:32:14 you know, you feel like the world would be a better place without you in it. And I just want to say that it wouldn't be a better place without you in it. It's a worse place without you in it. And so get the help that you need, okay? And I see the Pope still rolling on. He made a surprise in-person appearance when he greeted the crowd in St. Peter's Square. on Palm Sunday. And he was out there without his oxygen.
Starting point is 00:32:43 So he's 88 years old. They wheeled him out in a wheelchair. Of course, he's not up walking around yet. And he, down a ramp to the main altar where he issued a brief greeting, wishing more than, you know, the 20,000 there, good Palm Sunday and a good holy week. He was not wearing his nasal tubes or the supplemental oxygen. I'm sure they've strapped it on him as soon as he got back inside. But I don't know that.
Starting point is 00:33:09 And he said that he stopped while he was out there. So there was some little boy that came up to him. And he gave him, you know, a little blessing. And I don't know if he pulled a... He gave him some candy too. I guess the Pope always had a little bit of candy in his pocket. You can write your own jokes with that. But he blessed a rosary and offered a candy to the boy who greeted him there in St. Peter's Basilica.
Starting point is 00:33:34 And then the story goes on to say that this week he met for. privately with King Charles the 3rd. And he made an imprompto tour to St. Peter's Basilica, stopping to pray and thank a pair of restorers for their work on the Basilica's masterpieces,
Starting point is 00:33:48 which is all good and well. But in this story, it talks about how he met privately with King Charles the 3rd and Queen Camilla. Okay, here's the deal. She's not a queen. Okay, I don't care how many little special dispensations
Starting point is 00:34:03 that the king can give. No, he can wield his little power, wand, all he wants. Camilla is not a queen. Okay, sorry, that isn't going to happen. And on this show, whenever you hear either Queen Camilla
Starting point is 00:34:19 or Camilla, you hear that. That's a show rule. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too.
Starting point is 00:34:49 That's the powerful backing of Amex. So last week in Magnolia, New Jersey, love that place. I've actually never been there, I don't think. They had heard a giant boom early Wednesday morning. It was about 2.30 a.m. And residents were woken up by the sound. And then when Sebastian Leonardo arrived at his auto body shop on Atlantic Avenue later in the morning, he noticed a giant hole in his ceiling.
Starting point is 00:35:21 When they, and he didn't climb up there, but when employees climbed up to look at the damage to the roof and the ceiling, they saw where an unidentified object had made impact. And it's a sizable dent in a thick steel gauge box. And that's when I went to all my cameras and found the video and realized what had actually happened to flash outside and the impact in here. Surveillance footage from cameras in and outside of S&L automotive shows the moment something collided with the building. you eventually see this giant fireball coming through the ceiling and everything comes flying down the roof with it. Several doorboard cameras at homes around town
Starting point is 00:36:00 captured video of the incident. There's a bright flash. There's a boom. There's a hole. That's three out of the four things, according to astronomer Derek Pitts of the Franklin Institute. He said that if we had one more thing,
Starting point is 00:36:14 like an item that we could identify as being extraterrestrial, we might say it's something from space. So you don't want to say that it's something. from space now? Okay, so what is it? I just want to know. Big light, big bang
Starting point is 00:36:26 through the roof. What is it? Is it from space? Did somebody throw something out of an airplane? Was it one of those giant blocks of toilet ice that we fall out of airplanes ever so often? Was it one of the drones? Mysterious drones that were flying around New Jersey a while ago that have since disappeared?
Starting point is 00:36:43 We discussed this on Saturday morning live. We didn't know if the drones perhaps came up with a cloaking device. And perhaps perhaps this is a drone that crashed when it was under its cloaking device and then it burned up and what we saw was the flash of the drone.
Starting point is 00:37:01 We don't know. Or was it a meteorite or a meteor that comes down and makes it through, you know, the small piece finally makes it through our atmosphere and, you know, hits Earth. And that does happen more often that I think we realize just most of the time it hits the ocean
Starting point is 00:37:16 and nobody sees it. And now it's hitting this, automotive shop in New Jersey. So it's a problem. It's a problem. And it's not that bad. I was looking. There's a picture of the hole in the roof.
Starting point is 00:37:34 You don't want that in your home. You don't want that in your building. But it's not a big hole. It's just a good size hole, but it's not a big hole. So if it was a ship, a craft ship, it was an awful small one. So I don't think we, I probably set that aside that it wasn't a ship. But we don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:55 So we don't know what happened. And it could be anything, darn it. And good news coming from South Korea. You know them, you love them in South Korea. Robots are now officially allowed to walk alongside people in South Korea. I wasn't even thinking about that. So if I get a robot, I can't legally have him or it walk beside me. outside?
Starting point is 00:38:21 I'm going to. Under these new rules, certified robots. Ah, good way for the government to make money. You've got to certify your robots and pay a certification tax. They have the same rights as pedestrians. That's pedestrians to some people.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Letting them move safely on sidewalks while obeying traffic rules. Operators must get insurance for their robots. Okay. So now you're going to have to pay a certification fine. It's not a fine. Jeff, it's a fee. Okay. It's a tax. It's not a tax. It's not a fine. It's a fee. It's a user fee. Okay, a certification fee. All right. So then you're going to have to get insurance for your robots, which they say can wave up to 500 kilograms and move as fast as 15 kilometers. So how about we use miles per hour and pounds? But I digress. Authorities are creating an official safety certification and insurance options will soon become cheaper and easier to get. Will they? will they?
Starting point is 00:39:22 Okay, if you say so. If you say so, fine, they will. But that's coming to a municipality, state, country near you very, very soon. Yeah, we're all going to want robots and have them, but you've got to pay a certification fee. You're going to have to have insurance, and you're going to have to be charged an excess fee just to have the robot. Wow.
Starting point is 00:39:47 I wouldn't want the government. not to find a way to take more money from us. All right, let's get out of here. That kind of made me angry. Let's get out of here. I need a joke of the day. This joke of the day was emailed to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. It comes from Jill.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Jill, we are going to talk to Jill. She, in her email to be giving me this joke, which is, you know, it's a fine joke. But she also runs a place called My Cold Case. And I am fascinated. I am just fascinated. I want to talk to her about the cases they get. Who, you know, what's the case?
Starting point is 00:40:19 the overriding, what are people looking for? Are there runaways? Is it an old crime that hasn't been solved? I'm just fascinated by what her company does. It's called My Cold Case. And we are definitely going to talk to Jill very soon in the near future here on Chewing the Fat. But Jill, listen to Chewing the Fat, thank you very much, sent in her joke of the day. And her joke is, what happens if you get ketchup in your eyes?
Starting point is 00:40:49 I don't know. What happens if you get ketchup in your eyes? You have Heinz sight. Huh? I know. As a Heinz police officer, I definitely have to read that joke. There was no doubt about it.
Starting point is 00:41:03 You know what he's talking about. You get hindsight. You get... Hindsight. You got it? Okay, good. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.
