implemented a new rule slash law that passengers who stand up on the airplane before it comes to a complete stop will be fined So don't do it

you know we see it all the time in fact i've been guilty of it uh when you're taxiing you've landed you're taxing to the gate the seatbelt sign is still on and you're told hey relax till we get to the gate you unbuckle your seatbelt some stand and get there uh carry on luggage ready to go maybe you sit back down maybe you don't until you dock at the at the port so now uh if you're in turn you're in turn you're and you do that, you get fined. And they've added to their new passenger announcement circular that you are not supposed to smoke or use tobacco products on board. And if you stand up and disrupt order before the aircraft reaches its parking position

and before the seatbelt signs are turned off in order to discipline such passengers and raise awareness among all passengers, this particular dictauret was approved and if you're caught violating these guidelines you will be subject to a fine which works out to be about sixty seven dollars in united states money about eight million turkey leeras or whatever they whatever they use for money in turkey i don't know what it is i think it's leeras i'm not positive though so and also airlines operating in turkey have also been tasked with updating their landing safety briefing to warn passengers about getting up from their seats before it's safe to do so. Airlines found not in compliance with this new requirement will be subjected to prosecution under

administrative law. So I would say that that is coming to every airline and every airport near you soon. It's a new way to nickel and dime you out of money as well. While you probably won't be arrested, you will be fined if you are found to be standing or unmanned. buckle your seatbelt before the plane is docked. I know I've been guilty of at least unbuckling the seatbelt. I remember as a little kid, the bus driver, I've told this story before. The bus driver shortstopped me when he was dropping me off because I would stand up when he was on our road. We lived on a dead-end road where our farmhouse was when I was a real little kid. This was kindergarten 100 years ago. And the bus driver, you know, told me to remain seated. And I didn't.

I would stand up before he came to a complete stop. Well, and he's a real little kid. jerk stopped me and I crashed almost poked my eye out. I still have a scar next to my eye and my mom was waiting for me and I come out and I'm bleeding and she says what happened? And he says he stood up too soon and that was the end of it. In today's world I may own that bus line but not then

a hundred years ago it was my fault. So just remember when you unbuckle your seatbelt and stand up too early on the airlines before it comes to a complete stop, it's your fault. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So we still have the Diddy Trial ongoing. We still have the Harvey Weinstein trial ongoing. We have a couple of new ones that are coming down the pike.

We have the Smokey Robinson case, which we talked about, I don't know, two or three weeks ago where Smokey had a complaint filed against him in Los Angeles Superior Court, which accused Smokey Robinson, the 85-year-old of sexual battery, false imprisonment, negligence and gender violence. in addition to a number of labor violations related to wages, breaks, meal times, and overtime, and the lawsuit also named his wife, Francis Robinson, claiming she contributed to a hostile work environment and used ethically pejorative words and language. Well, that was for $50 million, and we can break down what they charged him with or what they complained about the Robinson,

which we did in an earlier broadcast as well. but now Smokey Robinson, you know, the man, he is, you know, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, Songwriters Hall of Fame. He's got, I don't know, 4,000 songs to his repertoire. He has filed a counter-complaint against the four former female employees who had sued him earlier for $50 million. And Robinson filed his cross-complaint with his wife against the Jane Does and their legal representatives.

accusing them of slander, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and financial elder abuse. Oh, the Robinsons described the allegations as fabricated in support of their extortionate scheme and that they had treated the employees as extended family. The Robinson did not abuse, harm, or take advantage of plaintiffs. They treated plaintiffs with the utmost kindest and generosity. and they also vacationed with the accusers, offered them financial support, and celebrated holidays together.

They also claim that the women made pre-litigation demands of $100 million or more, which of course were not met, prompting them to create this media circus and make a public spectacle of themselves. It points out that John W. Harris, who reps the women, publicly described Robinson as a serial and sick rapist and a serial assaulter. It also notes that the accusers are hiding their identities

by filing anonymously and hoping to convince the general public of a half story. Okay. According to Robinson's attorneys, these women's claims have never brought up any indication of a hostile workplace. They state that at least one of the women

left employment and then returned undercutting their claims that plaintiffs were too afraid to report any alleged abuse. The counterclaim suggests that women could have been behind the theft of financial records and gold coins and says that one woman took Francis's cell phone and deleted all of their text exchanges, photos, and identifying information. So the fight is on and what is true and what isn't.

So we know that Los Angeles is investigating this. it's under, I'm sorry, it's under investigation in Los Angeles County. We'll see how it turns out. I always kind of felt like they would cut a deal and settle for workplace violations and everything else goes away, but it doesn't look like they're going to cut a deal. It looks like they want to know who Jane Doe, one, two, three, and four is, or they want us to know who Jane Doe, one, two, three, and four are. and they want to bring it to the forefront that we are not who they claim we are.

So, okay, that's good. The fight is on with the Smoky Robinson case. I like it a lot. Then, my man Kevin Gossner, you know him, you love him. Well, I mean, I like Kevin's work. He has now been sued for violent, unscripted rape scene in Horizon 2. We were just talking about this not long ago. When am I going to see Horizon 2?

When am I going to see Horizon 3? Horizon 1 was just okay. Did not do well at the theater, which is why they postponed the release of Chapter 2. And so I don't know if we're ever going to get it now. I'm ready for it. Let's have it. I want them all.

I don't know how well they're going to do at the theater. Release them to streaming. Let me, you know, buy the, let me download the digital copies, whatever. I just want to see them now. He's put in a lot of time and money in these films. Let me see them. So apparently a Horizon. stunt performer is suing Kevin Costner and film producers for what she's describing as a violent,

unscripted, unscheduled rape scene directed by Costner in the film. Well, we have not seen the film yet. So this is another reason why we may never see the film. The stunt performer, Devon Lebella, devian, D-E-V-Y-N, LaBella filed a sexual harassment lawsuit. It's a period of court of California and Los Angeles, citing an alleged incident from 2023 during the filming of Horizon American Saga Chapter 2. She claims that she was hired by the production company as a stand-in for lead actress Ella Hunt during physical scenes. Yeah, because the actresses and actors can't do that.

No, we agreed to be in the movie, but yeah, I'm not doing any of the physical scenes. And so during that time, her SAG agreement terms were violated. Okay. Those include a ban on any last-minute requests for nudity or simulated sex. The terms also require producers to give a 48-hour notice and get the performers' permission for any changes to intimate scenes, along with providing an intimacy coordinator for sex scenes. Wow, I mean, you want to talk about why movies cost so much to make? Per the complaint, LaBella was slated to cover Hunt's non-intimate scenes on the day in question.

but when Hunt arrived on set, the actress learned that Costner had requested new scenes, which would require actor Roger Evans, to climb on top of her violently raking up her skirt. Hunt, allegedly upset by the ad hoc and violent nature of the sudden script change request, refused to film the new scenes. After she left the set, Costner said,

Hey, Lebella, why don't you stand in for her? Which she did. Which she did. Now, she agreed. according to her, not knowing why Hunt had departed without filming. So the lawsuit says she did not know that the involvement in the imprompto shot would go beyond standing in as a standard body double. She wasn't warned or prepared for Mr. Ivins to perform or engage in any action on top of her and first learned that Ivins would mount her and violently pull her skirt up when he was already on top of her doing so.

It added, I betcha that is a good scene because she's getting live reactions, true reactions of what the hell is going on. It added that Costner directed Ivins to repeatedly perform a violent-simulated rape scene without proper notice, consent, preparation, or appropriate safeguard measures in place, such as the project's intimacy coordinator being called in. Lebella further asserted that Costner provided no clear direction of when the scene began or ended and said she was never given the opportunity to prepare or consent to participate in this scene, much less object to it.

The Sun Double said the incident was especially humiliating because she was menstruating at the time and compounded by the fact that between takes, Ivan's hands rested on top of her bundled up skirt above her vagina. Okay, well, that's part of the scene.

What are we even talking about? Okay. So the complaint also says that the scene was broadcast publicly on monitors for the entire crew to witness. Yeah, they're filming the movie. But a asserts that the set should have been closed due to the content being filmed. LeBelle is suing for an unspecified amount of money over the alleged incident and has asked for a trial by jury.

So we are never going to see Horizon an American saga chapter two, let alone three and four. I mean, this was his passion project of this four-part Western series. So let's see what happens with this case. against Kevin, but I think I can just write off American Saga chapters 2, 3, and 4, because it doesn't sound like they're going to be coming to a theater or a content provider anytime soon.

is closing down their Cosmix restaurants. So back in 2023, they announced, hey, we're launching Cosmix at the space-themed restaurant and specializes in drinks and breakfast foods and, man, it's just going to be great. Ooh, yeah, it's the extraterrestrial mascot

cosmic from the 80s, and we love it so much. Yeah, not so fast. Because now in 2025, we're going to go ahead and shut them all down. So if you are a customer of Cosmix, it's going away. Now, they're going to use some of the products, I guess, that they came up with during the Cosmix two-year run.

They're going to add those to the McDonald's stores, but really, it's going away. Have a nice day. They told their valued customers, valued customers, that, yeah, we're shutting down in June. And if you have the mobile app and you're using the web ordering services, yeah, those are going to all shut down as of June 23rd. Sorry about that. And they did say kind of sorry.

They said, thank you for understanding. I mean, if you don't understand tough, because we're doing it anyway. And if you have any earned points or rewards on the app, yeah, those go away too. So get them in. Use them now. We appreciate your loyalty in business. Do you? And they want to, they thanked you for understanding, as I said.

So I hope you understand. So there's a location in Bowling Brook, Illinois. There's a location in Fort Worth, Texas. There's a couple in San Antonio, Texas, and there's one in Allen, Texas. So those are all history. Gone, goodbye, take care by the end of June. So if you're a Cosmix fan, it's going away. You only have less than a month to enjoy Cosmix.

Now, yesterday, speaking of restaurants, yesterday was National Hamburger Day and so I hope you celebrate it because man there's nothing like celebrating National Hamburger Day. I celebrate Hamburger Day multiple times a year. A lot of times a year.

And so I didn't necessarily celebrate yesterday so I apologize for not celebrating on the actual National Hamburger Day, but I do celebrate enough throughout the year. So according to Yelp, the top 25 Burger chains in America.

And you know them all. I mean, they're all the usual suspects. But, you know, the last place, the 25th burger chain, according to Yelp, is steak and shake. That doesn't surprise me. They've gone that way downhill. I told you, the last time I was at steak and shake, I was so disappointed. They used to be so good. One of my favorite places.

And the last time I went, it just wasn't the same. I don't know if they're using the new, you know, RFK Junior. your no red dye plan or whatever it is, but they just, the, the burger wasn't as good, the fries were not as good, the shake wasn't like it used to be, just very disappointing. It's not a surprise to me that they are 25th, according to Yelp. Number one, In and Out, and I'm a fan of In-N-Out burger, big fan. Like it a lot, very good, and they have not, they have not gone downhill as of late. The last time I had In-N-Out, pretty darn good.

I'm always a little disappointed in their shakes, but, you know, okay, I mean, they're fine. They're not terrible. They're not terrible, but the burger and fries are awesome. Number two on this list is Habit Burger and Grill. I have never been to Habit Burger and Grill, so I'm not real sure where. I think that's a California joint. It says here that they have offices or restaurant offices. They have restaurants on the east.

Coast and West Coast, but they started in California. Okay, the Habit Burger and Grill. All right, all right, whatever, fine. I believe you, fine, that's whatever. Now, Yelp did this survey for, you know, the top burger joints. They call them chains. I call them joints. They based this survey with their Yelp reviews for companies with over 100 branches

spanning multiple states and categorized under burgers on the site. So Habit Burger and Grill was number two. Shake Shack. Number three, Shake Shack is so good. And especially the one that they're original in Manhattan was so freaking good. Now, they've got locations here in Texas where this show originates from. And they've got locations, you know, around the country now. But their burgers and fries are awesome.

I was always disappointed with their shakes. And that's in their name, Shake Shack. But, okay. But the burgers and fries at Shake Shack. I mean, just incredible, awesome. Then number four is Culliver's. Number five is Islands, Fine Burgers and drinks. Never had a burger from Culliver's or Islands, fine burgers and drinks.

Number six was Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steak Burgers. Don't know that I've ever had a Freddy's or not, but it sounds good. I'm a fan of frozen custard and I'm a fan of steak burgers, so it does sound good. And then number seven was five guys, burgers and fries. I haven't had five guys in a long time, but the last time I had them, they were really good. Way back burgers, number eight. Muya, number nine, which I have not been to a muya. And Red Robin was number 10, rounding out the top 10, Red Robin.

The last time I was at Red Robin was, it was okay. It was okay. I love, oh, their shakes are awesome, and I love their unlimited fries. And so the burgers were pretty good. I mean, I had a double cheese burger or a singer. I had a burger and fries with a chocolate. shake and they, you know, they give you the extra shake that they make. It's so good.

And the Unlimited Fries, awesome trick as soon as they come. As soon as they get delivered, order another round. Don't wait. Don't wait until that first round is done. Because then you're going to have to wait and it doesn't time out right with the burgers and the shake. You got to at least, as soon as they come. You want the burger and the Unlimited Fries and the large chocolate shake.

And as soon as they deliver it to your table, yes, I want another order of fries. so that by the time you're done with that first round of fries, the second round arrives. Just a helpful hint from me. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Be sure to follow me on my social media at Jeffy JFR on X.

Now, pennies are going away, but when you say it's worth a nickel, that seems cheaper than a penny to me. I know it's not, I know it's not, but it just doesn't sound the same. It's worth every darn penny, makes it sound worthy. It's worth every darn darn nickel

makes it sound less worthy to me, but either way either way cameo at Jeffrey JFR you can order it and it's worth every darn penny or nickel or dollar or whatever you want to whatever you're going to spend on that bad boy

So last night, I forget what platform it's on, and I apologize to the platforms. So I forget what it was on. I think it was Netflix, but I'm not positive. I'm looking, I'm sat down. I was done. I was sick of reading stories. I've put together the show a little bit. And I know I've got Brad coming up tomorrow morning. And, you know, I'm just, I got to watch something. I got to have something that I can just watch and not think about.

And so I'm looking for a movie to watch. And you know, just take a couple hours, early evening, a couple hours. And I see Den of Thieves, too. Okay. So, I had just watched a couple weeks ago, Den of Thieves, again, the original. And I had sat down and I couldn't remember if I'd seen it or not, so I started playing it, and then I remembered I had seen it. My father-in-law had just sat down, and he hadn't seen it, the original. And so I didn't, you know, I was like, okay, well, I'll just watch it again then, because I enjoyed it, and I like Gerard Butler, and I like O'Shea Jackson, and I, you know,

fine, let's watch it, let's go. I'll watch it again. So we sat through it, and it's darn good. I enjoyed it. It's, you know, it's just to shoot them up. you know, cop, thieves, guns, violence. I like it. And so then I see last night,

Den of Thieves 2. I did not know about Den of Thieves 2. I just don't remember it. It came out this past January. I did like $57 million at the box office. It had a budget of $40 million. So it didn't really do well, I guess, according to their numbers.

I don't know what they got from Netflix to air it. So I'm sure it made some money. I enjoyed the first one. And so, you know what? I said, you know what? We're going to sit through too. And so my father and I said, hey, here's Den of Thieves 2.

Let's sit down. Let's watch it. Let's see what it's like. I didn't realize it was out there. Den of Thieves 2, Pantera, was not bad. I mean, in the Den of Thieves series, it was better than the first one.

Really good. I really had a good time. Action-packed, fast-paced. Really good. Gerard Butler is awesome, as usually. He can do these roles. Well, you know, standing on his hands. But if you have

if you like the Den of Thieves, I mean, I know you have to like the shoot-em-up violence, that kind of thing, which I do, you know, I can appreciate it. But it was, I was amazed. And I enjoyed the theft of Den of Thieves II better than the theft of Den of

Den of Thieves I. And Ben of Thieves-1 was good. I enjoyed the heck out of that. So this one was based on the diamond theft in Antwerp from 2003. The first one they robbed the Fed in Los Angeles and got away with it and Gerard Butler was not happy about it. And the Fed kept saying and all the banks said there was no money missing.

Well, there was no money missing because the first one, as a spoiler alert, they robbed the Fed with money that was going to be destroyed before it was going to be destroyed. And they got, I don't know, $20 or $30 million. And so they had killed a few of the thieves, but the, the main guy got away and this O'Shea Jackson who does a great job and he got away well you know he's found in a movie two and they set it up so we're going to get a den of thieves three so let's make that happen I want to say Gerard Butler I'm in let's go I will help I know Christian Guttagast wrote and directed one and two if he needs a little help email me towing the

fat at the blaze dot com I'm all in for denive Thieves three. Oh, you know what else? Today drops the new detective show on Netflix, too, Department Q, looking forward to it. Maybe if I have some time today, I may get started on that, but for sure this weekend, Department Q on Netflix. I mean, it's a struggling detective,

and he is, you know, he's going to shove him down in the basement to do cold case work just to be rid of him. And he finds a case that is going to be all concerned. assuming I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. And I will say as a side note, Mobland has been great on Paramount Plus. I think we've got one episode left, maybe two of Mobland. It's been really good. I've really enjoyed the heck out of that series. And your friends and neighbors with John Hamm on Apple TV, that show is so much

better than I had anticipated. And I think we've got a couple episodes left on that series as well. And I saw where hacks just got re-upped for a new season. So it's not going to be the last season of hacks on HBO Max either. So good, good news. And I see that the Paramount merger with Skydance and Sherry Redstone and what's his face, David Ellison at Skydance, that's on hold because of the CBS lawsuit that President Trump has against them for like $25 million. Apparently, it's reported that they said, hey, we'll give you $15 million.

and we'll settle this, and so we can go away, because Redstone, who I guess is taking herself out of the dealings of this, said they're not going to go through with this merger until this particular lawsuit is taken care of.

Trump wants the $25 million and an apology. Okay. That's what he wants. And I don't know that CBS is going to give it to him. I will say the 60 Minutes guy took a hike. after this lawsuit started, because it's all about the vice president's interview on CBS,

Kamala Harris, and how they doctored it, decept, I'm sorry, they didn't doctor it. They deceptively edited that interview. It's all about that. So the 60 Minutes guy took a hike. I know the head lady of CBS News, pretty sure she got the boot a few days ago. I'm sorry, resigned. And so we'll see what happens. I mean, that deal is, I mean, that's billions of dollars.

And Sherry Redstone, I mean, she wants out of it. And she wants it to go away. She wants her money and she doesn't want to have anything to do with Paramount Global. And please let me go. They're adding board members to Paramount just in case the case continues on. I mean, it's turned into a nightmare. And they just want this Trump CBS lawsuit to go away. Yeah, here's an easy way to make it.

away. Pay him the $25 million and give him an apology. And they do not want to do that, boy. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

Harrison Ruffin Tyler, the last living grandson of the 10th United States President John Tyler. Now, he has passed away at the age of 96.

Wow. Okay. And his death marks the end of the direct familial link to a president, familial link to a president who served before the Civil War. Wow. Because President Tyler, he served from 1841 to 18. 45. Okay. Now, following his term in office, Tyler became an elected member of the Confederate Congress of the Confederate States of America in 1861. That bastard. We can't talk about him. We hate him

now. So Tyler had 15 children, eight with his first wife, Letitia, and then seven more with his second wife. So the first wife died. And you know what? I need a second wife. Bring me Julia Gardner, Tyler. Get her over here. I'm going to marry her too. And you know what? I am going to have seven more kids with her. Incredible. So Harrison, uh, Ruffin Tyler, who has now passed away at the age of 96, he was the son of President Tyler's 13th child, Lion Gardner, Tyler. Tyler, who was born in the 10th president's later years. President Tyler's last child was born when he was 70 years old. So Lion Gardini Tyler became the president of William and Mary College.

He also married twice and had two children. And not as much as Harrison. And had a child, I guess, in his 70s. So, I mean, the Tyler bloodline is a good bloodline. But that's it. done. So rest in peace to Harrison Ruffin Tyler, last living grandson of the 10th President of the United States of America, John Tyler, dead at the age of 96. Then we have Ed Gale, this is very sad. Ed Gale, best known for portraying Chuckie in the 88 horror film Child's Play, has passed away at the age of 61. Very sad.

Apparently he was in hospice. He was really sick. One of the last pictures I see here of him with a big smile on his face, he does have a mask underneath his chin pulled down, and he has oxygen tubes in his nose. Very sad. But Edgale, dead at the age of 61, no cause of death was given,

although it does talk about him being in hospice care. So he was really sick. I'm not sure what killed him. I will say this. When they were talking about it, They talked about Ed loved 7-Eleven hot dogs with disgusting amounts of ketchup. So I don't think that had anything to do with his death. He enjoyed reminiscing about his glory days, DJing at the Plainwell Roller Rink.

Yeah, how could you not? He hated Bill Maher for no good reason. He delighted in the slow buildup of telling a good story and cheating at cribbage, you bastard. He had one hell of a laugh and he had one hell of a laugh. he will be missed. Rest in love, you cranky bastard. That was from his daughter. So, you know, look, he played Chucky in Child's play.

He reprised the role in a couple of other, a couple of other installments. He starred in Howard the Duck and Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town. Who can't remember Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town? Right? I know. So, I mean, he had, he was in 130. movies, TV shows and commercials. I mean, wow, that's awesome.

Now, he did have a little bit of a problem a couple of years ago. He was investigated where he apparently admitted on camera to allegedly sexting with up to 10 minors. That may have been a little issue for Ed. But rest in love to Ed Gale, dead at the age of 61. Then we have Anna Hartman. Anna Hartman. You remember Anna Hartman?

No. She was in the movie Terminal Island. She has passed away at the age of 93. She was a pioneering black actress who had a regular role opposite of Bert Reynolds in the 70-71 ABC cop show, Dan August. I don't remember Dan August. I love those stupid cop shows.

That was canon days, though. Don't be messing with Dan. Dan August? I don't remember Dan August. Hold on. Okay, so it was on for one season. September of 1970 to April of 71. Bert Reynolds played the title character.

Dan August. I do not remember this god-awful show. It must not have been very good. But she was in it. Anna Hartman was a character in the show. So rest in peace. She died of natural causes at her home in Van Nuys. California. So rest in peace to Anna Hartman, dead at the age of 93.

Then we have former Baltimore Orioles, Minnesota Twins, pitcher, Cincinnati native. Scott Klingenbeck has passed away at the age of 54. Now they say unexpectedly at 54. And I guess if you die at 54, it's unexpectedly. But as you read more into the story apparently, he just never grew up

and continued to party. And so some of his friends were saying here that while he was very active in Cincinnati and charities and coached youth

baseball, he And he was in the majors. I mean, he also played for the Pirates as well. And he did a few years in Major League Baseball. I think he, I don't know, gives his total time in Major League Baseball and in Minor League Baseball as well. But his one friend talked about how he never grew up and said that it's tragic. We could all kind of see it coming,

but didn't know that it had gotten to the... that point that the alcohol was going to get him. As the rest of us grew up, he would grow up continued to progress. Yeah, very sad. So rest in peace to Scott Klingitbeck dead at the age of 54. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds. two.

All right, so congratulations to the Oklahoma City Thunder as they have made their mark and they're going to the NBA championship next week. They will take on either the New York Knicks

or the Indiana Pacers. Looking like the Pacers are going to win that, but game six is tonight and everyone's says whoever wins tonight between the Pacers and the Knicks will win the series. So Indiana, this game is in New York tonight, so it should be fun. It should be a fun game. All odds are saying that Oklahoma City will win the NBA championship.

They've been the best team all year. I don't know. I don't know. While everybody thought the timber rolls were good, uh-uh. They were shut down by Oklahoma. And so Indiana and New York, both strong teams. and I'm kind of a fan of the Pacers. I'd like to see them.

Boy, you know the NBA. I know Oklahoma City's been the best team all year, but to not have a major city in the finals this year, holy cow. If it's Oklahoma City and Indiana, we're looking at that mid-American baby, Oklahoma City and Indianapolis for the NBA championship. It's pretty incredible.

And then over the in the NHL, The Panthers, the Florida Panthers, they won. They beat Carolina. The Carolina Panthers, they owned them in that series. And so they go to the Lord Stanley Cup. They're on their way to the Stanley Cup finals. And they will take on either Dallas or the Edmonton Oilers. Now, last year it was the Florida Panthers defeating the Edmonton Oilers for the Stanley Cups.

So the Panthers are trying to repeat, and the Edmonton earlier's are trying to finally win one. And so how long has it been says Edmonton has won a Stanley Cup? Have they ever? Why, yes. Yes, they have. They've won five. It's been quite some time.

They have five Stanley Cups, 84, 85. Okay, back to back. And then 87, 88. Wow, back to back again there. That means 86. They probably were close. And in 1990. So they took a year off after 84.

They had a power. We had a great team then between 84 and 1990. Wow. I don't remember. I wasn't that in the hockey at that time of my life. But anyway, that's what's happening. So you have the Florida Panthers taking out the winner of the Dallas Stars and the Edmonton Oilers, looking like it's going to be Edmonton.

So it probably will be the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup finals. Yesterday, I got to talk about Edgar Witter. and he came up because Rick Derringer died and he you know I remember Edgar Winner's white trash and Rick Derringer and I was talking about Edgar Winter I got to looking into Edgar Winter after the show and the guy is fascinating

and he's like 78 or 79 now I'm going to have to reach out to him I think I want to talk to him he's an American dream man this guy is amazing and I was reading about his work he's done all kinds I mean he's won I don't think he's won very many

Grammys maybe two or three something like that I don't know the exact number but he's done all kinds of work on TV shows and movies and concerts and he's been with Ringo Starr's All-Star band and he's constantly creating and he's just amazing. He's done all kinds of work. He's probably the kind of guy. He's probably seen a life, traveled the world, rock and roll star, Edgar Winter and his brother. I mean, he won a Grammy for his album, Brother Johnny, obviously Johnny, you know, his brother, Edgar's brother, because they did Edgar and Johnny Winter for, for, a long time. And he's played

with all these rock stars around the world. He probably has an incredible story. And now's the time to talk to him because he doesn't care, right? He's 79, almost 80. He's got stories to tell. And what are you going to do to him if he tells the story? Nothing. Because he's Edgar Winner. I got to reach out to him. I want to talk to Edgar Winner. He's living the American dream.

He lives, he's married. They don't have any children. And you think, wow, that kind of sucks for him. But not really. Because he says, he said, one interview, I can see how that would be a wonderful, rewarding thing. But I think there are enough people in the world, okay, easy, and that it might have been more problematic if I had children with a career and all of it. I tour all the time. And if I were to have children, I would want to be home all the time. There you go. I mean, he made the choice. I don't necessarily agree with, there's enough people on the earth, but he made the choice for his career. And, and, I mean, he made the choice.

I get it. I get it. I know what you're selling. You got to have children. That's not, that's your career. But Edgar said, no, I want a career. And he has had one for a long, long time. And so I think I'm going to have to reach out to Edgar. And we're going to have to do an American dream story on chewing the fat with him. All right, let's get out of here. I'll leave you with the joke of the day. Coming from John F. Kennedy. Yes, I know. I got another email from the dead president. It could be. that it's not the dead president and it's actually someone named that i don't know someone maybe is pretending to be him i don't know but it's signed john f kennedy so and in parentheses after john f kennedy it says not a joke so okay you know you could decide for yourself it's either the dead guy

or it's someone pretending to be him or it's someone named after him either way uh he sent the joke of the day again to uh chewing the fat at the blaze.com uh so i'll just uh I'll leave you with this joke of the day. What kind of headache did the wheat farmer have? I don't know. What kind of headache did the wheat farmer have? A migraine? Unbelievable.
