Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So if you live or are planning to go to Paris, the beautiful city of Paris, France. As part of the 2024, 2030 climate plan, Paris is aiming to remove 60,000 parking spaces and replace them with trees to combat Earth. urban heat and enhanced green spaces.

Now, we heard a little bit about this during the Olympics because it was supposed to be the most green Olympics ever in Paris and then countries were bringing in their own air conditioners and their own fans because Paris didn't provide them. Anyway, they provided trees, though, beautiful trees. So if you're planning on going there, just know that there's going to be 60,000 less parking spaces in the city of Paris because they want to add 740 acres of green areas by 2030

with 10% completed by 2026. So I'm not sure if that means 10% of the acreage or 10% of the 60,000 parking spaces. I mean, I would say that if you want to make some money in Paris, just outside the city limits, you may want to, I don't know, build a parking garage, build bicycle rentals. Yeah, they all drive their little mopeds

and their little green, ugh, agonizing. But just be ready, be prepared for the beautiful green spaces that will be enhanced and make Paris just beautiful by, well, 2030. But, you know, we're hoping by 2026 we can have 10% of it done. So just a heads up, just a heads up. Man, makes you want to go to Paris, doesn't it? Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat.

So as long as we're traveling around the world, we started in Paris. Let's bring it back to Montreal, beautiful Montreal, Canada. There's a shopping mall and an office complex there that is now facing criticism for using the children's song Baby Shark on the loop to detour. Stop, stop. You're not going to play this for me, are you? I don't want to hear it. Mommy shark do do do do mommy shot to do do do not I can't take it.

I don't want to hear the whole thing. Please just stop. Yeah, stop. Okay, so they're using this song on Loop. All right. To detour, they're unhoused people from Lurding around. That works. That definitely works.

And the people are a little angry. You know, the people that are for the unhoused people are a little angry because they're calling the tactic inhumane. and arguing it shifts rather than solves the issue. But I would say that inhumane, yeah. Let's go on loop forever. No, no, stop. I can't. Don't make stop.

I can't. No, seriously. Stop. Stop. I can't do it. I'm not an unhoused individual. I'm not trying to sleep outside of this shopping mall and office complex. And so get out.

We're going to just play Baby Shark. Oh, my gosh. If you're just walking into the mall, I have Baby Shark. Oh, good. There's no more unhoused people laying around as I'm walking in. It's inhumane, though. Now, they also said that we've improved security.

and that they were going to hire social workers to engage with the vulnerable individuals. So those unhoused vulnerable individuals will get help from, you know, social workers that the mall is going to hire. But until then, it does shift the issue. It gets them away from the mall and the business complex. Get out, okay? otherwise we're going to play baby shark that's almost as bad yesterday i didn't play it you know we had the stupid ymca story or the guy was pissed that uh you don't you dare call it a gay anthem and it was everything i had not to play the song yeah man i did uh i shouldn't play it today either

it was going to be in my but maybe we put this on loop with this i mean any song really on Lou. Don't you dare call this song a day. Don't do it. Don't do it. I can't play the whole song. It's already in your head. And it's almost as bad as Baby Shark.

No, seriously. Seriously, I can't. I can't. So just know that if you're going to go to this mall and shopping complex in Montreal, you will hear Baby Shark as you're walking into the building. And you won't have any on-house people around because they are gone.

All right, as if Baby Shark wasn't weird enough. There's a couple stories that are just kind of weird. This guy, Robert Dean, claims that he walks outside of his house to pick up some packages, and he said, hey, there's two car seats in a ditch. And he went to investigate, and he found two baby girls who apparently had been kidnapped the day before in a stolen vehicle. The girls were found in their seats,

left out in the below freezing temperatures there in Indianapolis, which was about four miles from where the vehicle they were in was reported stolen. And he said, I'd do it again. If they see something, like a baby in a ditch, say something, do something. Well, yeah. I mean, why wouldn't you? I mean, I don't understand that sentiment. Of course you're going to, I mean, those babies are lucky to still be alive left outside in a car seat in the winter of Indianapolis.

So, you know, the car apparently was stolen, and it's unclear whether the four-month-old and the five-month-old babies were inside when the car was stolen. And the person who stole it said, you know, I'm dropping them off. I'm not taking the babies. We're not sure if the babies were in the car. You know, we don't know, did the mother leave or the father leave? And then the car was stolen with the babies in it? I haven't seen any update on that. But of course, if you, this is, I'm going to go out on a limb here.

If you see a couple of car seats in a ditch outside your house, go look. Go ahead. Go check it out. And if there's babies in it, bring them inside. And if they're, I mean, pray that they're still alive. If they're still alive, heck yeah, bring them inside. Get them warmed up with the blankets on them.

And, you know, take care of them as best you can. call the authorities. But if they're already passed away, I mean, you've got to do your best to try to hopefully bring them back to life. So you'd still bring them inside. So sad. So whatever happened.

And it's just weird to me that I would I would never say, oh, I'd do that again. If you see something like a baby in a ditch, say something, do something. Well, yeah, no kidding. Duh. And then they've got the story.

about this girl and I don't even know what's real. It's been making the rounds. It's been viral video of this girl in Walmart trashing the store. And it's not how old she is. She's probably somewhere between, I don't know, nine and 12, somewhere in there. And she's throwing stuff on the floor

and she's breaking stuff going crazy. And then she finds this, the wine grape. It's not wine. Oh, what is it that they called? Anyway, there are bottles of liquid. And she's just throwing them on the floor, trashing him. And all this time,

there's a couple, one person that's filming it, a couple of Walmart employees are saying, don't touch the girl, you know, where's the mother, or, you know, whoever she's with.

And then there's one person that you hear multiple times saying, you don't know what she's got, what that girl's going through. Don't do anything to her. You know what that girl is going through. Okay. Well, first of all,

I know what I'm going through as she is destroying, this Walmart and breaking goods that I may want to purchase and then other people may want to purchase on top of just destroying property that doesn't belong to her. So you see one guy go up at the very end of the video and try to grab her and he gets hollered at from one of the, I think it's a Walmart employee, but it might be just a shopper that says, hey, don't do that to her. You don't know what she's been through again. And at that time, I'm thinking, if that were me, I probably would have picked her up already.

And I wouldn't have tried to hurt her, although it's difficult when they're out of control like that sometimes. But you get them in your arms and you hold them. Maybe that's all she wanted was someone to hold her. I don't know. Maybe she was having some kind of fit. I don't know. But you can't let that go on.

I'm sorry. That filming and saying you don't know what she's going through? No, I don't. I know what I'm going. going through is watching all my stuff get destroyed at the store. And I can't, you know, you're not, you're waiting for the authorities to get there. Good luck.

Who, does everybody, hey, anybody got a trank gun? Can we got a tranquilizer gun here? I put her down. No, you're not going to have that. And he doesn't, I mean, I'm not talking about shooting her. Unless it's a trinklyzer gun. But, uh, you're not doing that. You just got to stop her from destroying all this stuff.

And grabbing her, isn't it. isn't hurting her. I'm sorry. It's just so weird. And that's why I think it may not be real. We may be being had. And so,

we'll just leave it there. Because when you see that video, I'm like, you get angry and you're wondering what you would do and you don't know what that girl's been through and merchandise is being thrown on the floor.

She's kicking and breaking stuff. And then I think, okay, it's not real. That's not real. And I don't know who has to pay for it. I don't know where the mother is. I don't know if there is a mother or a father. I don't know who pays for it.

I just feel like, okay. I mean, somebody has to do something. You can't just stand there and let this child destroy property. You've been saying that you don't know what she's been going through. I'll tell you why she has not been going through, a nice little spanking. Okay. All right. That's what she hasn't been gone through yet.

Yeah, we need that discipline. You do need a heavy hand. when you see a kid Fisher, you got three kids when they threw a tantrum at the Walmart because I know you're a Walmart person what did you do exactly

exactly what everybody said you can't prove that I don't think that video still exists but and I'm sure that that may be the problem there's no father

or no mother I know I get it I get it. I just sounds so weird. Why are you so racist? Why are you saying that she has no father? Because she black? I didn't go there.

I just said she needed a spanking. Why do you have to bring race to this? I didn't. You did when you said no father. No, that's you. You said no father. I never said no father. I said, I don't know she has a mother or a father.

You said father. Yeah, I don't know that. So you bring him race into this. I did not say anything about race. Not one thing. did I say about race at all? You said she had no father. I don't know.

I said I don't know if there's a father. Just the thought of you not knowing makes you're racist. You're the one that brought it up. I brought a spanking. You brought up parents. It has no ground on this. It has nothing to do with parents. But I say she has not been spanked.

And you're like, oh, mom and dad. So now you bring him race. I not want to. Because according to you, only white people. People have mom and dads. I didn't say that. I did not say that. But my question still stands.

My question still stands. So let's say you're at the Walmart and some young girl is throwing grape juice out of the bottle around and you get cut and you get an infection. That's when you're going to wish you had a J's case. And you can't get to the doctor. You can't get to the pharmacy

That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. I can't believe that the Daniel Penny trial jury is still out. What is happening? I would like to say, no, this can't be.

Let's go. This is, well, day two, really. I guess maybe they only had half a day of deliberations yesterday. It shouldn't be that long. He should be found not guilty. He's being charged with manslaughter and negligent homicide in the choking death of this homeless man, unhoused man, Jordan Neely, who was, you know, I mean, acting crazily, people were scared for their lives.

And I'm sorry that he died, but, but, he did something. It's another example of what would you do? What do you do? What are we supposed to be? Are we being trained just not to do anything? And just let it happen? I guess we are.

I guess we are. But anyway, it just should, yeah, I guess. I guess maybe the subway should just play baby shark. And then all the unhoused people would be around. Anyway, why is the jury still? out. Why? I ask you. Why? You don't know either? All right. Never mind. Be sure to follow me on my social media sites at Jeffrey JFR on X. Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram and Facebook. Chewing the

So at Defy JFR on the Cameo app. I got this plague. what this gung I got in my throat it's a gung is it mung I don't know what it is it's just I woke up Monday and I talked up a little bit about it yesterday and it just has gotten worse and now I mean I just I don't know what's going on

I'm sorry you know if I know that I know it sounds terrible I got it but it just I'm trying to give and give and give to you okay I'm here for you if I just stay home and call in sick for the day then what are you going to do you're going to say hey how come you're not working fat man

what are you doing come on we need a show and then you know i'm home watching tv that's all and so i don't want to do that to you okay i want to be here working my tongue to the bone whether it's under plague ridden circumstances or not so there's that so i could be home just taking a bath i just take about them. I don't take baths. We have, the bathtub is probably the worst thing people put in a house. I don't understand why they're there.

Honestly, I don't understand. When you look at homes to rent or to buy, and they want to show off the main bathroom, the master bedroom, oh, you racist. And they all have these giant tubs, and I'm like, why? What a waste of space.

When you could make the showers walk in bigger. I've talked about this before, but if I'm going to, if I'm going to build a house, it's going to have a walk-in shower, two showerheads, uh, with blast on the side all the way around. So that, you know, that's, you can shower with your wife or whoever you want to break back home, but you can be that. I know. That's a, you know what? I need a, I need to shower. Oh, yeah. And it's not a tight squeeze. I mean, I'm not a fan of tight squeezes, but well, wait, never mind. Okay, stop. all that. Okay, so anyway, but my point is

that, you know, there's a company now that's created this device, this, it's a Japanese company, the Mura Ningen Singatuku Kuki and I believe I nailed it, actually. The M-I-R-A-I N-N-G-N-S-E-N-T-A-K-A-K-I-K-I,

or translated human washing machine. And so, who's stick with that. I won't try to we'll stick with human washing machine instead of the Miria Ningen Shigen Tukaki. It's not Tukaki. It's Senta Kuki.

Mira Ningen Senta Kuki. Whatever. Human washing machine. So anyway, they have this device and it looks like one of those suicide pods. All right, so we've seen and talked about the suicide pods.

You get in and it closes. You push the button and then you die. Well, this is not for that. It's for a bath, okay? And apparently they say it's what's built like a jet fighter cockpit shaped pod. Okay, if you say so. And so they, I don't know, it looks really weird,

and I don't know that I trust it. So once the user climbs into the clear plastic pod, the capsule fills halfway up with warm water. I hope it's just warm water, not scalding hot water. I don't know how you get out right away. Is there an escape button that I can hit to get me the hell out of there? I don't know. So I'm just going, okay.

They are then blasted by high-speed water jets containing extremely small air bubbles, less than three micrometers in diameter. Well, that might feel good. With these bubbles burst, they produce a small but powerful pressure wave, which dislodge dirt in the skin. Okay. This is the same process used in industry to clean electrical components that can't be washed with chemicals. Okay.

Now, this human must machine doesn't just clean the body. But it can also wash the mind using artificial intelligence. As the user receives their wash, electrodes implanted in the chair, gather their biological information to ensure the bather is washed at an appropriate temperature. so if AI decides that it's had enough of you it's boiling you're going to boil and yeah he's dead we decided we looked at all that we looked at everything he's not worth living just boil it up and so okay and at the end you know you're calm and you're refreshed good luck with that good luck with that because

I don't know that I'm doing that. Don't know that I'm doing that. I better, I would, I would do it if I had the escape hatch button knowing that I could get out. Knowing I could get out immediately because you did this enclosed space. It's like, you know, the tanning bot

boost or whatever or the MRI machines. I can't, I, it drives me insane. It just drives me insane. Even the open MRIs, they're not really open. Now there's a couple standing MRIs

that you can get. There's only a few places around the country that have those though. So mostly you're lucky if you get an open one. That's still a tight squeeze. And then when you get the tubes,

I mean that's definitely for a person my size a definite tight squeeze. And when you come down to the end, you know, it's like, you're all right in there? No! I need to get out.

We only have a few more minutes. so I think you could do that. Just do it! And then the noise starts, you know, the giant noise program. If you haven't had an MRI before, the machine gets really loud when you're inside the machine.

And so that's why they put headphones on you to listen to some kind of god-awful music, which I voted against because the first time I did that, I hated the music after a little bit, but I couldn't move my arms to take the headset off. I just like shot the music

I don't remember it wasn't baby shark and it wasn't YMCA but it was just it was just the whole thing I just it didn't matter it wouldn't have mattered in what song it was

because even if it was a song I liked I'm just I'm trapped in this MRI machine and I don't want to hear any songs okay what I want to hear is the machine sliding me out of it okay that's what I want to hear and that cannot come fast enough all right let's go to the

break room. I need something cold to drink and what did I do with that bathtub? Who do you think of when you think of the top pop stars of the 21st century? The greatest pop stars of the 21st century. Well, Billboard just released their list. And okay, if they say so. So number 10 and actually they give you a three, 13 in this list. Nikki Minaj, Eminem, and Usher, 13, 12, and 11. And then number 10, Adele.

Number nine, Ariana Grande. Number eight, Justin Bieber. Number seven, Kanye West. I believe it's yay now. Number six, Britney Spears. This is the greatest pop stars

of the 21st century. Okay. Number six was Brittany. Number four. five, Gaga. Number four, Drake. Number three, Rihanna. Number two. Now, you would think in my head,

as at least, you know, I have, you know, recency bias, it would be Taylor Swift, number one. Nope, not according to Billboard. Number two, Taylor Swift. Number one, the Queen B, Beyonce, is the top pop star of the 12. 21st century. So congratulations. I'm sure that Beyonce is, you know, happy about her number one slot. And Taylor's probably pissed about her number two slot. And Drake is like, I'm better than Rihanna.

I'm better than all these. Those are your billboards, greatest pop stars of the 21st century. You know, I didn't talk about it, but I did see Gladiator. And I'm sorry, Gladiator 2. And it was good. I mean, I loved the first one, obviously. I mean, I named my youngest son Maximus. I loved it. Yes, I got the, first of all, yes, I got the bucket.

I'm asked in my ear, did you get the bucket? Yeah, I talked about that. I got the bucket. And it's the QR code that makes the gladiators fight in the arena. So I thought that there was going to be a couple of gladiators that are in the bottom of the Coliseum and then you would QR code and those would fight. But no, it's just an open Coliseum is kind of disappointing.

Anyway, and then I got, you got a little hand thumbs up or thumbs down. You know, it says Gladiator on it, so you could bend it the thumb up or down on it. And the poster's kind of cool too. anyway so I I really liked it I thought I had enough of Pedro Pascal he's in so many things now

and he's obviously in this as general acesias but he was really good and Danzel Washington who I love was awesome in it he was really good and Paul Mescal played

Lucius, which we find out, okay, I'm going to spoiler for you, if you haven't seen the movie, all right? If you've seen the original Gladiator, it was always alluded to and you believed that Lucius was his son. Okay. From Lucilla, who plays Lucius's mother and, you know, sister-daughter to Marcus Aurelis. And so, anyway, and we know now that that's absolutely the case.

that he was the son of Maximus, and they sent him away. And then, of course, he comes back, and that's what Gladiator 2 is about. It's awesome. The whole movie was really, really fun. And Danzel was great, really, really good. And I enjoyed it very much.

I give it two thumbs up, although I just got one hand thumbs up, thumbs down gift that says Gladiator on it. So just one thumb. up. Oh, I know. Speaking of pop stars, I saw Mariah Carey. All I want for Christmas is you

is back in the top ten of the Hot 100. Oh yeah, because Shibuzzi. I was looking at the Hot 100 because Shibuzzi had 19 straight weeks of Bar Song Tipsy. No, he did not set the record

with 20. Sorry, you tied a little old Naz-X Old Town Road for the longest. Hot 100 chart topper, but you didn't break the new record, okay? Sorry. I know. Sorry. Shibuzi.

What a loser. Only 19 straight weeks at number one. All right. So the number one now is Kendrick Lamar. He has the number one album and the number one single Squabble up on the Hot 100. So congratulations to Kendrick and Shibuzzi. Loser. 19 weeks.

Whatever. Anyway, so Mariah Carey's number 10 on the Hot 100 list. And you realize that she makes like $2.5 to $3 million a year off that stupid song. $2.5 to $3 million a year off of that one the stupid song, which I love.

I love that stupid song. I mean, there's no question. But, I mean, you have to, I don't know, she lives a lifestyle that's pretty expensive. So I'm guessing that $3 million is not enough to sustain her. but

you know it's still pretty good so 125 artists have done their version of it and I saw one report that talked about it had 1,872 million

843,557 times that had been streamed okay that's not bad the song's been out for quite some time now so I mean it's not too boozy yeah let's calm down Although I don't know how many times

Shibuzi's been listed I've been streamed. Probably a lot. Now, you can quote me on that. Probably a lot. I mean, Miley Cyrus was number one on Spotify last year, right? I was looking at it.

She Flowers was number one on Spotify last year, $1.6 billion. Shoo. I was probably responsible for 0.6 of that bill. 1.6 billion. I love that song. But I'm just saying that,

And that doesn't count this holidays. So you're not getting, Mariah's not getting those streaming numbers 10 months out of the year. So those numbers are big, you know, for two months and then you put it away. And then at the last two months of the year, they're back again. So that's pretty darn good. So any time in life that you have to make a big change, it's hard. Especially that's never been more true than when you're planning to buy or sell home. It's really complicated.

it takes a lot of time, a lot of jumping through hoops. And the stakes are high. And they're about as high as they ever get as far as financial decisions that you have to make in your life.

He was shot once in the chest by what appears to be a targeted attack. Yeah, they say the guy left a masked gunman, left on foot, hopped on a bike, get out of there, was Midtown Manhattan. So the investigators have a video of this shooting. It appears the

suspect have been waiting for Thompson beforehand. He was not robbed. The police do not have a motive at this time. So he should have not denied that guy's health care plan. should have not denied that guy of health care plan. So, anyway, rest in peace to Brian Thompson.

United Healthcare CEO dead at the age of 50. Rest and peace. I already said that. Then we have Israel of Asquez. Israel of Asquez, three-time world champion boxer, dead at the age of 46. he was a three-time junior featherweight world champion. He died after a battle with cancer at the age of 46, known for his punching power.

His nickname was El Magnifico. And he revealed, wow, just a few days of November 10th that he had sarcoma. And then a few days later, I mean, he waited until the end to let people know, I'm sure, because he didn't want to be remembered. He wanted to be known as El Magnifico. not, hey, there goes, oh, Magnifico, you know, the guy's got cancer, no, it's not Magnifico now. They didn't want that, so any, rest of peace.

Israel, Vasquez, a three-time world champion boxer dead at the age of 46. Hopefully, those of you listening in South Korea know that I want you to be safe, but the South Korean president Yun-Suk-Yul has declared martial law in the country. and it's the first declaration since the country democratized in the 1980s. The opposition held National Assembly quickly voted to overturn the declaration, and the president formally lifted the order early Wednesday local time. So they want him to resign now and face impeachment. So we'll see.

We'll see what happens down there and over there, up there, in South Korea. We'll see what happens. It's the 14th largest economy, major U.S. ally in Asia. The president was elected in May 2022. North Korean influence. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A new decision comes as the opposition liberal coalition, which widened its control of the legislature in elections this year, sought to reduce his budgets and impeached.

I mean, they've been tearing the sky apart. They don't like the things that he does. So, Marshall Law. Well, then they took it away. But just saying those words put him into a little bit of trouble, which he was in anyway. So be safe. You know, then I see where Walmart is buying Vizio, the TV maker, Vizio, for $2.3 billion in cash. Did I mention that my last name is Vizio?

Maybe I forgot to do that. to Chewing the Fat with Jeff Visio. 2.3 billion in cash. So they announced this deal which now enables Walmart to expand its advertising business. Uh-huh. Because now they'll be able to collect all the data

on customers viewing and shopping habits. And they'll be able to get those targeted ads to them. I mean, that's... $2.3 billion is a... spit, a drop in the bucket for what they're going to make. They own that. Just incredible, man.

Wow. And think of that. 2.3 billion in cash. I'm going to dig through my ashtray for a couple of quarters and a couple of dimes to pay for the ice cream code. I'm thinking about getting, and they were paying $2.3 billion in cash.

Good for them. Good for them. And I saw, you know, I was just thinking about this company yesterday because I was stopped at a red light and I go by the Kroger warehouse to one of the big Tarrant County Kroger warehouse almost every day. And so I see the big trucks

delivering stuff to the warehouse. And, you know, no one supports truckers more than me or this show, clearly. But I saw a big cargo truck go by and I thought, oh man, that's awesome. I mean, that's a huge privately owned company in the U.S. They're big and, you know, it's good.

I'm glad they're on the road. Glad we're doing it. Well, I read today that they're laying off 5% of its global workforce. Oh, it's not the truck driver. And an estimated 8,000 employees. I guess that's at 5% of their global workforce amid dropping food prices.

And they claim that's because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Okay. I thought we were, I thought we were, were past that, but, you know, if you want to use that for an excuse, go ahead. But I was just incredible that that popped up in my newsfeed today when I was just looking at their truck going by thinking what a great company that is. Maybe not. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts, so you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Handpicked the finest sweaters from the

Oh, cashmere. Landed makeup palettes from the brands you love. Rushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshalls. We get the deals.

You gift for good stuff. So, you know, we all want to feel like we found, you know, if we found a message in a bottle, it would be wonderful, right? I mean, don't, no, please, don't play it. But, you know, we think if we find stuff like, You know, when they dig up time capsules. And sometimes it's just really boring. Well, an engineer conducting an inspection at a 209-year-old Scottish lighthouse discovered a message in a bottle, dating back 132 years.

Okay, so now you're thinking, okay, you know, maybe we have something here. It's the Northern Lighthouse Board Mechanical Engineer, this Ross Russell, remove some panels in a cupboard at the coarse wall lighthouse. And again, located at the northern tip of the Rhines of Galloway and spotted a hidden bottle inside the wall. So he and his team used some rope and a broom handle to fish the bottle out of its hiding place

and opened it up with the current lighthouse keeper Barry Miller. The team said the cork was stuck in place and had to be carefully removed using a drill. We all swore our service, selves to silence if it was a treasure map, which is what you're hoping for. I mean, they're thinking about, I'm getting off this damn lighthouse. I'll find me some gold in them, our hills, okay? So the note dated September 4th, 1892, bearing the names of three engineers who

installed a light at the top of the 100-foot lighthouse, as well as the names of three lighthouse keepers. They claim it was so exciting. It was like meeting colleagues from the past. Was it, though? Because now it's not a treasure map. It's just a note that reads, This lantern was erected by James Wells Engineer,

John Westwood Millwright, James Brody Engineer, David Scott Labrador of the firm of James Millen and Sun Engineers, Milton House Works, Edinburgh, during the three months from May to September, and relighted of it. Thursday night the 15th, September 1892.

Put it, so that's great. That's wonderful. So now, I guess, we're going to leave their own note in it and put it back in the crevice where they found it. So. Yeah, you'd hope even an SOS. Somebody help me. Something, but no.

No. Even this song played on loop. After a day or so, you might run some homeless people off. But the first day, they're not leaving. They're listening. Even if it's a stupid message, that just names the stupid engineers that put the light out. Yeah, you should have.

It wasn't going to be a treasure map, sadly. All right, good. I don't want to hear the police anymore. Tired to hearing all these stupid songs today. Drive me insane. First stupid baby shark and then YMCA, at least we entered with the police. I mean, they just found these giant Roman giant.

They just found this giant pile of, they found one giant coin, a Roman coin. It was 85 feet, no, it was just a pile of these Roman coins. That they found them. I mean, this is what you would hope if you found a message in a bottle. It would send you to the treasure. of these Roman coins, a total of 1,368 Iron Age and Roman coins, dating back to the reign of Emperor Nero were dug up at a building site near Worcester. Worcester, Worcester.

And they say it's a miraculous find, and one of the important discoveries of the century, most coins are silver dinari minted in Rome, dating from the time of the Roman Republic in 157. BC up to Nero's reign between 54 and 68 AD. So, I mean, that's what you would hope for, is that the message in the bottle would send you here, but no, but no. Now they claim here, what do they think that the coins that they found

are going to be worth like 100,000 euros? I feel like it's going to be worth more than that. I'm holding on to them, unless you give me a lot more than 100,000 euros, okay? You can look at them over there. They're over here. But they are way more than worth way more than that. But anyway, if you found them, I would hold out.

I would not. Maybe you need to cash and just say get rid of them. I'm sure all the museums want you to donate to them. No. Buy them. I realize that it's the day after giving Tuesday. But no. I'm not giving it my coins.

Sorry. No. anyway so you know that's what you would hope to be in the message

and a bottle would be a way to get find those coins but nope you wouldn't do that boy another it's another

Roman story though okay so I'm going have to do some gladiator jokes then get out of here today and maybe you know stop talking

and do something that would help my voice tomorrow so I was looking at these stupid gladiator jokes and

you know there's just So many. So they all have the, oh, we're watching the movie Gladiator and then saw pictures of the hero now. Now he's a gladiator.

Oh, see, that's a fat joke on Russell Crow. I don't like it. I don't like it. Okay. Don't like it at all. Which is the thickest gladiator of them all. Gluteus maximus. Yeah.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Oh, that's funny. Isn't it? It is. Too easy. Okay. So, uh,

Where did Spartacus? What does Spartacus say when the lion ate his wife? Nothing. He was gladiator. Where do you, I'll leave you with this one, okay? Where do skeletons go to see gladiators? The calocium. The calocium.
