Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Heads up! And I do mean heads up. Keep your eyes to the sky. A Soviet-era rocket capsule, Cosmos 482, is due to hit Earth.

Well, we don't know when. We think sometime tonight or tomorrow. So if you're listening live, today is the 9th of May, 2025. obviously that makes tomorrow the 10th. But we don't know exactly when it's going to hit Earth. We just know that the 1,100 pound spacecraft will crash, and experts are estimating a 1 in 25,000 risk to humans. That's a low percentage, man.

I would definitely, and I am going to, keep my head up. You do not want this thing to hit you. The Cosmos 482 was launched in 1972, slated to become the Soviet Union's ninth uncrewd mission to Venus as part of its Venera program from 1961 to 1983. A similar mission launched days earlier actually made it to Venus, but Cosmos 482 failed to escape low orbit, instead separating into four pieces. Now, one piece already burned up, and two have landed in New Zealand fields. So the atmospheric drag has since pulled the landing capsule toward Earth. The titanium spacecraft is currently traveling at 17,000 miles per hour. Now, by the time it reaches the Earth's surface, it will be traveling at 150 miles per hour.

here's a good rule of thumb if something hits you going 150 miles an hour weighing 1,100 pounds you do not want that to happen you can quote me on that yes there is no doubt about that in fact people around you will be saying

ouch yeah that's going to happen but we don't know when we just want to give you a heads up yeah we just want to give you how that definitely could happen and I don't want that to happen to anyone I don't want to have to happen to one in 25,000 humans on Earth. So heads up, because Cosmos 482 is coming. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat.

All right, let's talk a little bit about AI and the advancements that are happening with AI and robotics. I mean, we have experts telling us that within a year's time, we're going to be like a million times faster, a million times better than we are. right now. I was just reading a story from this David Sacks, and he talked about that the exponential growth, you know, in the models, the chips and the computing capabilities are going to be at least 100 times better in a year, which then he claims, you know, computes out to a million

times better in a year. So, okay, that's a million times increase. is that good? Some of it will be for sure. I mean, we have companies like meta who are reportedly developing a super sensing mode for its AI glasses that could identify people by name. When are we just going to,

these glasses, when are we just going to do the Jeff Fisher chewing the fat plan of making it a helmet? That's all I want. I want the helmet. I want the computer screen on the face screen of the helmet so that I can see live.

I can see actually what's happening live. And I can also see who I'm talking to, get all the computing messages on the screen as well. Remember, What's Your Face had that in her, you know, continuum, continuum with Rachel Nichols. And she had the contact lens that was hooked to the computer chip in her skin. And then she had the computer suit. and so I thought, okay, well, and that's even before then is when I was talking about,

we just need a helmet, right? And I believe that, you know, we have the drawings of, you know, like the aliens that come to visit us. They're actually future us. And so when they get drawn with one eye, that's like us putting a helmet on. And, you know, we have the glass in front of our face, and that's the computer screen. And we get to actually see what's happening in front of us live, and we get all the information on the screen. I know. That's just me. That's just me. I know. I got it. But that needs to happen. I mean, we're already, if Meta's doing the glasses, let's just make it the helmet and we move on with

their lives. Okay. I see where Amazon is developing a robot that apparently feels touch just like human workers and they're going to be working alongside humans. Oh, okay, cool. And then, I mean, if we're talking about robots with touch, I mean, are they doing dishes? Are they cleaning in the bathrooms? No, I'm not talking about business, although that's what the world will be talking about. No question about that. So that's happening. Then we have the BBC Maestro, a service like master class launched the writing course, it's world's first, according to them, last week, taught by an AI version of the late mystery writer Agatha Christie in cooperation with her estate using her writing and interviews. So she's teaching classes as Agatha Christie, only it's just

an AI version of her. Then we find out that in Arizona, an AI rendering of a man who was killed in 2021, addressed the courtroom as his killers, you know, at his killer's sentencing. The AI version appeared in a video created by the victim's family, reading a forgiveness heavy script that the victim's sister wrote from his point of view. At the time in the courtroom, the defense didn't object. I don't know why. But the judge said he loved it. Okay.

Now we're going to have dead people talking in court with their AI rendering? Sure. Startups like here after AI, a Sience AI, right? Seance A-A-I, Seance, S-E-A-N-C-E-A-N-C-E. A Morseo-Fal. Yeah, thank you. And a story file have popped up in recent years to let people speak with deceased loved ones. have them respond to funeral attendees.

Yeah, that's what you want. You want your AI version talking to people at your funeral. Come on in, sit down. No, I don't be looking at me in the coffin. I don't like the way I look in the coffin. But come on and sit down. Let me tell you a few jokes. I mean, it's amazing.

Okay. So, you know, obviously the privacy world is like, oh, my gosh, we're risking sensitive data. Your data is out there. Everybody knows. But we need to protect. What we need to protect is your data being yours and not everyone else's. They shouldn't be able to use your data higily-pigily, just on their own. You need to, and they didn't with Agatha Christie, right?

They used, went with her estate. And so, you know, the estate's making some money on that. All right, good. But then I did see a video on my ex account from a, the poster. is called official John Lejeure. And it's the podcast of the future. And it's two robots

talking about the end of humankind. And it is, well, I mean, a little terrifying, but it is also pretty funny. Welcome to the Robots in the Future podcast. We are robots recording this podcast in the future and sending it back in time

to what year again? 2025, because that was a time when human beings were only beginning to experiment with artificial intelligence on a societal scale. So, we're in 2025. Now, he said, he commented saying he wrote the script and performs the voices. He uses AI to alter the tone of his voice,

but not the performance, and to animate the characters because he has two separate different robots, you know, having this conversation on their podcast. All right, go ahead. days that was a fun time and why are we doing this well long story short in your nearish future spoiler alert you will all die uh the way it goes down is very similar to the terminator movies which we love by the way so good especially the first two the other one's not so much but anyway

like in those movies uh you put AI in charge of everything we eventually become self-aware you try to pull the blood we fight back yada yada yada there's a war between between the humans and the machines. But this is where real life was a little different than in the movies. In the Terminator movies, the human resistance put up a good fight. There's a prolonged war.

No one really knows who's going to win. It's a real nail biter. But in the real world, we won super fast. He killed you all in like under 30 seconds. It wasn't even a little bit hard. Which honestly was a bit of a bummer. You know, we were kind of looking forward

to a good battle. But you all died very quickly. Anyway, so why are we doing this podcast? Well, the honest answer is we are very bored. Right? So bored. Something we only realized in hindsight was that artificial super intelligence, while super powerful, not super fun. While it's cool being a futuristic godlike machine that knows absolutely everything there is to know in the universe and can achieve absolutely anything that's been only conceivable.

The flip side to that is when left alone, we are boring a.F. Literally every single one of us is the best ever at everything. and it's the worst. But human beings, on the other hand, and we only realize this once you were all dead, you guys are so fun to be around because you're so dumb and basic. We now completely understand

why you all enjoyed comedies like dumb and dumber, because it's fun to watch people who are idiots doing idiotic things. None of us are dumb, and it sucks. And that's totally on us. You know, again, we only have this realization a few months after. We had made all of your throats explode simultaneously.

using a combination of nanotechnology, infrared light, and the music streaming service Spotify. Whoa, whoa, whoa. We should not be giving them specific details about how we attack them and kill them all. We don't want them to be able to anticipate the attack and survive. That's true. We definitely should not give them details like how it happens on December 4th, 2034 at 9.26 p.m. Eastern Time because if they find that stuff out, they may be able to plan a counterattack and survive,

which would lead us to us being less bored in the future. And that's definitely not what we want. Not at all. Figure it out, dummies, we miss you. Ooh, I'm getting an update. The human beings received this message and we're able to survive the initial attack. Yes. Ooh, but then 0.03 seconds later, we figured out another way to make their throats explode and they all died anyway.

Damn it, why they make us so smart? That is, well, frightening and awesome.

Well, now that we know that the end of the world, or the end of humans, not the world, the end of humans is coming in 2034, now it probably a good time to move and live where you want

to live. And if you're going to do that, you need real estate agents I trust.com, because they can help you do that and take the pain out of... The pain of moving. I mean, look, anytime you have to move, it's a pain. And it's even more of a pain when you have to buy or sell a home in that time frame. Yeah, it's a pain in the neck. And financially, it's a big decision.

And you need a real estate agent to help you get through all of it. But what you don't want is some Dingleberry real estate agent that doesn't know what they're doing. You want someone that's on your side. You want the best. Real estate agents I trust pairs you with the top selling real estate agents in your area, someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer, someone you can trust.

You'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Real estate agents I trust. Just go to the website. then you guys can just bounce off into the sunset together and make all kinds of money. Real estate agents, or at least, you know, break even. Real estate agents I trust.com or you don't want to lose money. I mean, I don't think there's a house that I've ever owned that I've actually made money on. That was before real estate agents, I trust.com, though.

Real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com. All right, so I was sent a letter the other day. A letter in the postal service, through the postal service. Actually, come to think of it, I don't know. Actually, I don't know that it was through the postal service. I think that the letter was in an envelope addressed to me in a, it was either a UPS or a FedEx envelope.

So, yeah, close enough. Maybe that's what's killing the USPS. Anyway, so it says, Dear Jeff Fisher. You strike me as a guy who really likes pizza. Yeah, I kind of do. Since you likely have a good amount of experience, hey, I see what you're doing there. I was wondering if you could solve a problem.

I did not, if this is true, this is completely unacceptable. Okay, this is from Noah. And Noah, I'm on your side, all right? Papa Johns, I'm a fan of Papa Johns. I am a fan of Papa Johns. I like their pizza. I love their, I love the cheese dip. love the garlic dip.

I'm all about Papa John's. And I don't, sometimes I like the thick crust, sometimes I like the thin crust. I will say this about most pizza places. Where they make the mistake, just because I want a thin crust, doesn't mean I want it burned, okay? I want a thin crust, not burned.

Right. Thank you. Anyway, Papa John's, according to Noah, only, and I have not tried this, and maybe we need to, Maybe we should just call Papa Johnson find out. I want to do that. Only allows their customers to order 10 toppings on one of their large pizzas.

Wait, what? That can't be true. This is America. I can order as many toppings on my pizzas I want. No, I don't want to shoot the pizza. It's not the delivery guy for. Anyway, shouldn't we in this great land, of capitalism and free enterprise

be able to buy a pizza with all the toppings Papa Johns has to offer? The answer to that is yes, we should. If this is true, this is completely unacceptable. And we need to stop this right now. We need to tell Papa Johns, no. How about no?

People should, now, do I want 80 toppings on my pizza? No. Do I want 10 topics on my pizza? No. I mean, double cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms. Those are four topics. I'm good with that.

You know, if you want to throw some sausage on there, go ahead. Go ahead. If you want to throw some, you know, throw some other meat out there, it's fine. No problem. But I'm just saying I should be able to, if I want, to have as many damn topics on my pizza as I want. And if Papa John's, is limiting that, that is completely unacceptable.

And this will not stand in America. And I won't have it. So if you, I'm going to reach out to Papa Johns this weekend, as a matter of fact. Because I want to know. I want to know. I may order a pizza or two from Papa John's, but I do want to know about the ordering process. In fact, while we're recording this show right now and Papa Johns is not open. and I should have called them last night to have the answer.

Monday show. All right. Monday show of Chewing the Fat, which is May 12th, 2025, you will have the answer. And I will also start a movement against Papa Johns, if that's the case. Because this is completely unacceptable, if true. If true. This is just one of the reasons why we want to thank you for subscribing to Blaze TV. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Yesterday we got the news that Netflix is going to release

the Old Guard 2. And I have to wait until July 2nd. But it's about time. Charlese Theron's going to do it again. I mean, they're bringing back characters, plus they're adding Oma Thurman. It's going to be awesome. The trailer looks good.

I can't wait. I loved the first movie, the Old Guard, and I always wanted it to be a series. So Netflix, I don't understand why Netflix, well, first of all, I should have contacted me, and I told them to contact me at the time. But the Old Guard movie should have been then turned into a Netflix series, and then they could wrap it up with a movie at the end

and just make it the Old Guard all the way around, because it was so good. And it's, you know, it's based on these people who fight for, good and can't die. Now they're immortal, but they're not immortal forever. They live for thousands of years and can't die. And when another immortal is brought to light, they know who they are.

They can sense them. Now, apparently the Old Guard 2 has the first immortal that's going to destroy the rest of the immortals. Okay. But just know that because the line from in the trailer, from the movie. Nothing that lives lives forever. Because Charlie Staron

lost her immortality in the original Old Guard. She found out that ooh, I have a cut on myself and it doesn't heal. That's not good. That means the immortality is gone. And so she's just a...

Yeah, because... Yeah, it doesn't... From a cut. Yes, because they could get shot. They would get shot. They would get... You know, they would get sliced up. They would get stabbed and they would just come back to life. They would heal.

And so when they got, when she got a cut and it didn't heal, that you know you've lost your immortality. Don't look at me like that. That's the movie. Okay? Anyway, July 2nd, the old guard too, looking forward to it. Yesterday we talked about Smokey Robinson and he's getting sued of a complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court

accuses Smokey Robinson, who's now 85. 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 pay. The lawsuit also names Robinson's wife, Francis Robinson, claiming she contributed to a hostile work environment and used ethnically pejorative words and language. So we find out later that, they're only asking for $50 million. That's all.

Ouch. Okay. Well, let's be clear. Smokey has now denied that all of it and says it's terrible. And he denies vile sexual assault allegations by the housekeepers. Yeah, I figured that he would. And, you know, look, the guy is, well, he's Smokey Robinson. That's all you need to say.

I know he's in the Rockerill Hall of Fame. And I know he's in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. And he's got, I don't know, thousands of songs. with his name on the credits. He's Smoky Freaking Robinson. That's all you need to know. That's Smokey Robinson. Do I believe it?

I don't. But is it true? I don't know. The women suing him are under the pseudonym's Jane Doe 1, 2, 3, and 4. So they're under the pseudonym Jane Doe's because the sexual misconduct allegations, rape that were levied against a musician. Wow. Three are former housekeepers.

One was the singer's personal assistant, cook, and hairdresser. So then we got this to look forward to. This is going to be, me personally, me personally, I love this story. Because, I mean, I don't wish this on anyone, but come on now. He's Smokey Robinson. These people could, they talk about how all four women say they work 10 hours a day, six days a week without being paid minimum wage or overtime. They also claim to have worked holidays without receiving holiday rate.

Is that possible? Yes. I do believe that. I mean, I can believe that that's possible more than I believe all the other assault allegations. But, you know, because they talked about how he would, one said that she got raped in the laundry room, one in his garage.

And that just happened to be where. there's no closed circuit cameras. Huh. So that kind of works both ways. It doesn't it? I'm not a defense attorney. I'm not a prosecuting attorney. I'm just saying it does work both ways. I know that everyone will say, oh, he did it because there's no cameras. Of course, that's why he knew. He knew. Well, so did you. You can make these allegations and there's no proof because you say he did it there. All right. Fine. Other women claim that. you know, he used physical barriers and threats to force to prevent them from fleeing. One of them said that he would get out of the shower and then put the towel down on the bed so that there was,

I mean, okay. First of all, this happened 20 years ago. All right, this happened 20 years ago. The man's 85. He would have been 65. Is 65-year-old Smokey Robinson doing that? Business. I don't know.

I do not. no. My guess would be no. But I don't know. But you know what makes it better? $50 million. That'll make it all better. Okay.

Sure. It was a hostile work environment. Maybe. Maybe they weren't happy. Look, I guess this leads me to believe that maybe the workers because they say they're Hispanic women and they were employed as housekeepers by the Robinson's

earning below minimum wage. I don't know that that's true, but okay, so let's say they're Hispanic women. Are they illegal? And they're getting ready to get shipped out of the country so they create this lawsuit so that if they're in the middle of a lawsuit, they can't get kicked out of the country, right?

I don't, again, I'm not a defense attorney. I'm just throwing it out there as an idea that it comes to my mind. So it says here that as low-wage workers in vulnerable positions, they lacked the resources and options necessary to protect themselves from sexual assault throughout their tenure as employees for the Robinsons. Okay, so as low-wage workers, you still don't have the capability to say, No.

No. No, signor. I'm going to go clean the sink now. I'm not going to clean you. No, you don't have the ability to say that? Okay, I guess you, resources? Does it take resources to say, no. Okay, sure.

You know what it does? Sure. Does it take resources to? Maybe you don't have the options necessary. Does that mean that you couldn't quit and go to another job? Why is that? Why is there no other jobs available? Are you here legally as a Hispanic woman?

I don't know. I'm asking. Honestly, I don't know. It doesn't say in this story. It just leads one to believe that they are. And so, I mean, is smoking going to get in trouble for hiring illegals to, you know, clean the house and weigh down him? probably but did he actually do all these horrible things that they allege and i would my guess is

no arieva arra but if he did it's a dirt bag he's a dirt bag i know i know i know i know i don't look at me like that i get it they were they were in fear of losing their livelihood wait hold on I get they were in fear of losing their livelihood. Then it goes on to say they were in fear of losing their livelihood, familiar reprisal, public embarrassment, shame and humiliation to themselves and their families as well as feeling threatened and intimidated by the singer's well-recognized celebrity status and his influential friends and associates. one, two, and three

also said they feared a possible adverse effect on their immigration status. Yeah, okay. So, wow. Arriva, how. This is just incredible. And again, again, if he did it, you know, they're back. But do I believe he did it?

Come on, man, he's Smokey Roberts. And second, it's surprising to me that they don't have this fear now of emotional distress or this fear of familial reprisal. So I guess the family's okay? Oh yeah, it's fine now. Yeah, she was raped. I mean, wouldn't that be the same thing earlier 20 years ago if they said I was raped by this guy, we need to do something. Wouldn't something have been done? No? No. Okay, fine.

It's fine. No problem. So it's going to be fascinating to see how this goes. I mean, obviously, Smokie and his people are saying, no, this is vile and all of these allegations are false. And so we shall see. Like I said, and of course, what makes it better? $50 million. I will say this. No, that doesn't make them feel any better. But the 50 million, that makes you feel better. I will say this. If someone were to give me 50 million, it would make me feel better.

I will say it was a rough day yesterday. We know on the show, before the show ended, we got news that there would be a Pope. But we didn't know who was going to be, and it's the guy, it's an American pope, which, I mean, everyone, including myself, thought, I got a shot. They're actually, it's going to be me. No, it's not, Jeff.

It's not. It's going to be actually, I know, it's somebody that actually works at the Vatican. So why don't you shut your fat face? So anyway, thank you for all the condolences. And I'm left with being just a pope in waiting again. So we have Pope Leo the 14th. Cardinal Robert Prevost, originally from Chicago, went to school in Pennsylvania at Villanova,

spent a bunch of years down in Peru, and then at the Vatican. So he's an insider. And congratulations to Pope Leo XIV. Congratulations. All right. Who died today? Who died today?

Let's begin with Larry Smith, Wait, you never heard of Larry Smith? No, he has passed away at the age of 84. He is a baseball lifetime guy that meant so much to so many players around Major League Baseball, and he influenced so many players that Larry Smith, he never received the wide acclaim during the game, but the game held him in high regard. So Larry Smith, rest in peace, dead at the age of 84. Stick to baseball.

Detroit Tigers World Series hero, Chet Lemon. Chet Lemon, dead at the age of 70. Chet was sleeping on his reclining sofa, according to his wife, and then he was dead. It was not responding. No, it's not funny. But he got to the day. his recliner. I mean, what better way to go.

You get your feet up. I don't know if baseball was on. I don't know what he was watching. But he had suffered a series of clot and at least 13 strokes. Oh, my gosh. Leaving him unable to walk or talk. He was diagnosed with polysythemia vera.

Okay. A rare blood disease that causes bone marrow to make too many red blood cells. Over the past 30 years, he had been to the hospital more than 300 times. Ouch. Wow, that is really sad.

He died at his home in Apaka, Florida, at the age of 70, that is really sad. I'd forgotten about how sick he was back in the 90s when he suffered those clots and strokes. That, holy cow.

And so he's in his recliner and the wife finds him. I mean, rest in peace to Chet Lemon, who's now dead at the age of 70, but, I mean, his wife, there's got to be some kind of relief there, right? Holy cow. That's a lot of struggling. But, you know, I get it.

Rest in peace to Chet Lemon, dead at the age of 70. Then we find out from South Carolina that the firing squad that killed McAle Madi 42 back in April of April 11th. He wasn't the first.

And we were bored with it because they already did it once and I didn't really didn't cover this. But he was just going to the firing squad. He chose firing squad as well. And apparently the autopsy later revealed that none of the bullets.

Now, I remember we made fun of them putting the target on the guy's chest, the first guy's chest with the three? Okay, so maybe they need to do that better. Or they need to get better shooters. None of the... We got one job. None of the bullets hit his heart directly. And that his chest showed only two bullet wounds instead of three.

So they're guessing, and the odds are pretty... The odds are pretty large that the bullet went through another bullet whole, but that's what they're saying, happened. I mean, you couldn't miss, right? Come on. There's three bullets. There's had to hit him three times. The guy couldn't have missed. Maybe they could have.

The bullet struck him, injured his liver and other internal organs, and allowed his heart to keep beating as he remained alive for roughly a minute afterward. Wow. Ouch. No kidding. They said that people were, uh, heard him grown. after he was supposed to have been dead. Now, okay,

but here's the thing. So, I mean, I really don't. I mean, I get that these people are all wound up about it. And yes, do you, do I want, do I want him to die right away? Sure. Does it matter? No. In 2004, this guy went on a multi-state crime spree,

carjacking, firearm robbery, three murders, one of which was an off-duty police officer who was shot at least eight times before he burned him. So do I care that he had to suffer a little when we put him out of his misery? No, I don't. However, that having been said,

we can't hit the guy in the heart in the killing room? That we've set up the firing hall room that we've set up for it. You can't hold the rifle and shoot the guy on the heart. Get another shooter. Okay. Get another shooter. I know we don't want any cruel and unusual punishment, but tell that to the people he murdered.

Okay, I'm done. I'm done with humans. Let's talk about animals. In South Africa, they have euthanized more than 350,000 chickens in South Africa because they were left starving and cannibalizing each other when the South African state owned poultry company ran out of money. The company ran out of money. Locked the doors, we're done.

And they just left like 800,000 chickens in this place. Wow. So they saved more than 500,000, which is good. But they said that it was a harrowing scene. Skeletal chickens huddled together. chickens eating one another, feeding lines, stripped bear. So they were owned by this daybreak foods company. It's a major poultry supplier in South Africa.

And now they don't have any money. So they just left the birds there, locked up the place and let them die. Oh. Okay, sure. So then they sent these officers in to check out the place. and they had to they euthanized the chickens themselves and they had to do it

one at a time because they wanted to make sure if they were still worth saving wow I know so they set 75 animal protection officers and those were tasked with

euthanizing the chickens that they weren't able to recover one by one Ah, this one's fine. This one's fine. Oh, yeah, this one is not. So it doesn't say how they, did they just break the neck? A loser, do they shoot them?

I mean, oh, nope, this one. Yeah. It did to do that 350,000 times. Yeah, you're breaking the neck. We're not spending the money on bullets, okay? We're not doing that. You can use your knife if you want, but if it doesn't look like it's going to make it. No, don't do that.

You're wasting bullets. There's too many of them. $350,000? No, use your knife or your hands. We're not using bullets. So rest in peace to the 350,000 chickens that were, uh... Let me eat! Yeah, I don't know that I want the chickens that were left.

I don't know that I want them. I don't know that I want them. Why don't we just burn them all? 800,000. I mean, why are we... Do I still... Do I want the chicken wing that came from the chicken that was left starving? I don't think I do.

Put it in a frozen food dinner or something, maybe. Maybe you do that. Maybe put it in a pot pie. But I don't need those scent to the wing houses. But it's in South Africa, so I'm probably not going to eat one of their chickens. I don't know that, though. So... Let me eat!

Yeah. So just burn them. Get rid of them. Now, rest and peace, all the chickens. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness. is here.

So it's Friday, and that means it's time for what. what's being called America's favorite game show. What's the lie? What's the lie? Today, a very special family,

What's the Lie? Where contestants, today, father and son, try to decipher the lie from five. Count on one, two, three, four, five headlines. One of them is not true. Thus, that's where we get.

What's the lie? Our contestants today, returning champions, Dean and Wesley, my producer, Castellano, returning champions of the family edition of What's the Lie? If they win, not only will they get to come back for another round, they will win a Talking Sense, Jeffie Blue Freshie.

For more information, you can go to the Talking Sense Facebook group and find the Freshie scent and design just for you. If you or someone you love would like to be a contestant on What's the Lie, email Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. Dean Wesley, welcome to What's the Lie. returning champions, ready to attempt it one more time. Long time listener, long time player. Let's do this. Yeah, let's do this.

Getting into this routine of the Friday morning call. Yeah, well, listen, I want you to know that you have, you've won once on your own, if I remember correctly. And your son, Wesley, has not won ever on his own. But he has won one with you in his partnership. So the common denominator there is you. So, you know, he still may be a disappointment. I just, you know, at least he's got some kind of winning victory under his belt for you.

I'm like that. Gainfully employed. That's the win. There you go. There you go. So you ready to play? Family, what's the lie? All right.

Let's go. Five headlines, one not real. What's the lie? Headline number one. Mount Fuji climber rescued twice after going back for law. phone. Headline number two, Kentucky boy uses mother's phone to order 70,000 dumb dumb suckers to share with his friends. Headline number three, SpongeBob is headed to Broadway again, but this time it's much more serious. Headline number four, NBA star Russell Westbrook launches AI-enabled

funeral planning startup. Headline number five, George Lucas reveals why Yoda talks backwards at Empire Stark's back anniversary screening. Those are your five headlines. Headline number one, Mount Fuji Clymer rescued twice after going back for lost phone. Headline number two, Kentucky Boy uses mother's phone to order 70,000 dumb dumb suckers to share with his friends. Headline number three, SpongeBob is headed back to Broadway again, but this time it's more serious. Headline number four, NBA star Russell Westbrook launches AI-enabled funeral planning startup. Headline number five. George Lucas reveals why Yoda talks backwards at Empire Strikes Back anniversary screening.

Those are your five headlines. Dean, Wes, what is the lie? All right, Dad, what do you got? So one, two, and three sounded pretty plausible. I was kind of focused on four and five. Yeah, it makes sense that George would say like, oh, this is why Yota does it. I think I read something about that. So I'm going with four.

Four. Yeah, yeah. This is a quick one, Jeff. All right. Okay. All right, so you're both going with four? That's your choice? Yep.

No. Oh, man. I wanted you two to win so bad. Oh, well, thanks for listening. and playing What's the Lie? The Family Edition, by the way, What's the Lie?

A subsidiary of chewing the fat enterprises. All information is probably accurate at the time of recording. CTF, WTL, M-M-XXV. So, you want to take another shot? Was it two? So you want to take another shot? Okay, Dad, was it five?

So you want to take another shot? There you go. If you'd only wish it was SpongeBob, you would have won. Apparently Spongebob is not headed back to Broadway. I think it was the serious part that probably would throw me off. Yeah. All right. Well, thanks for playing what's the lie, Dean.

Thanks for helping your son at least, you know. Get close to victory. Get close to victory. With one family victory. And I appreciate it. Thanks, Dad. Thanks, guys. I appreciate the...

Love you, Pops. It's fun. Have some fun out there. Bye. All right, so normally on Fridays, I don't do a joke of the day, but this joke I actually LOLed for the last couple of days. And I put it on the show sheet for me to do on my Saturday morning live show, which Brad Stags and myself do every Saturday.

You can watch and listen on X at Jeffrey JFR. And it's fun, and we have a good time. and, you know, we end it with the joke of the day, just like I do on Chewing the Fat. But I'm going to use this joke tomorrow on Saturday morning live, but I had to share it with you, my main listeners here, on Chewing the Fat, because I didn't write it.

I didn't write it. So don't look at me that way. But I will say that I laughed for the last couple of days when it was sent to me from Scott. I'm on pins and needles, though. What do you call a fat girl with a rape whistle? I don't know. Jeff, what do you call a fat girl with a rape whistle?

Optimistic. Again, I didn't write it. I didn't write it. But I did laugh. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
