Find 600 million dollars Buried on his land And turns it into police Okay Well first of all The story is like 10 years old Okay I don't know why it keeps showing up

On my timeline Is Colombian Farmer Second I hope that he followed some of the rules of chewing the fat. When you find buried money like that, you would take, I don't know

what, 100 million, say there was 700 million buried. And you turned in 600 million and you went ahead and kept 100 million. I hope that would be the case. However, the rules kind of change here a little bit because the guy had just received

money from the government to start a palm oil plantation. Okay? And he discovered several large blue containers buried when he was digging a trench to start his plantation filled with money. Okay. So he believes that the money is part of, or was part of the Pablo Escobar fortune, that, you know, he had buried money all over the country, maybe countries, but it was rumored

that he had buried, you know, hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars so that he could keep his money. Okay. So if you believe that it's Pablo Escobar's money, do you say anything to anyone? I don't think you do. Escobar's already done and gone for it. So turning it in means you're not getting it, period. It's not sure the government will take it.

You know, no way. And turning it in, even if you were to follow the chewing the fat rules, which would be, you know, take some for yourself and then turn it in so you could say, I turned it in, that's all I found. Pablo Escobar's people are going to come knocking. And they're going to say, there was a lot more money buried out there than that. Right.

And so you're screwed because they're going to come knocking. So why say anything at all? I mean, dig your trench, make your plantation, and you put that money somewhere else. And just gradually you know, it could be in your own trench

somewhere else, like 40 acres that way. Or maybe you just bury it underneath the garage someplace other than where you found it and you just gradually spend it on your plantation. But to turn it in, no. No, no, no.

Huge mistake. Huge mistake. I mean, unless you're an honest person and you believe that doing the right thing is you found the buried money and it wasn't yours so you turn it in. Right? Of course. Welcome.

Welcome to chewing the fat. So Uber just inked a deal, a $300 million deal for new robo-taxies, a whole new Uber-Robotaxi service. The global ride-haling, leader is getting serious about autonomous vehicles. And Uber announces investing 300 million in EV maker Lucid and a similar amount in tech startup Neuro NURO. The Lucid cars are beautiful. I see them on the road here in DFW and they are good looking cars and they are not cheap.

The main, the large sedans of the Lucid cars are not cheap. The deals with Lucid and Neuro underscore the Uber strategy to outsource its robotaxy technology rather than develop it in-house. Yeah, why would they? You've already got these companies doing it. So that's good news for the lucid stock, apparently. I'm not an investment show. I'm not telling you anything. I'm just saying they said that the lucid stock went up quite a bit. I bet. I bet it did. You know, another company that's kind of back in business is Jewel. Apparently, we shut them down. They did. have at one point like 70% of the U.S. e-cigarette market. That was what seven years ago?

The company now holds 18% of way behind views and geek bar. So, I mean, that's because the government pulled them and kept pulling the, you can't sell it, you can't sell that. You're selling the kids. You're selling the kids. Those cereal flavors are for kids and that's bad. Okay. So now the Food and Drug Administration,

has authorized Jewell to continue selling its signature e-cigarettes in the U.S. market. Oh, well, that's special. We didn't put you completely out of business. We didn't cost thousands of jobs. Don't worry about it. We'll put tobacco business again, okay?

So they can sell their menthol-flavored refill cartridges and as well as their other tobaccos. so they've been three years with this federal regulator. I mean, they were banned a couple years ago. Wow. I mean, they're lucky to still be in business. Yeah, because of the fruit flavored products.

That's I remember them just complaining that that's the fruit. The fruit is going to bring the kids. There's still a law that says they can't sell them to kids. So are you believe that your law is doing any good or no? because it feels like the answer was no. But now they're back in business. So the FDA determined that benefits to adult smokers see outweigh the dangers of kids possibly get in the fruit loops.

Okay, I got it. They determined the benefits of adult smokers seeking to quit traditional cigarettes outweigh the public health risk, including the youth. Yeah. Okay, okay. And Jules says, yeah, no, we don't. Yeah, not as many doing that, though, since 2018. Holy cow, they've lost over 50% of their business that they had,

their share of the market in seven years. They're lucky to still be alive. So good luck, those of you that, you know, are out there hopping on the jewel to beat smoking. Does it really count? I mean, if you're vaping and you're doing that to stop smoking, I feel like that doesn't count. I just feel like that doesn't count because you're still smoking.

You're still putting gunk in your lungs. Right. I mean, it just feels like you're cheating. It feels like that's not the real thing. But go ahead. But go ahead. Look, if the benefits outweigh the risks, have at it. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too.

That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. You know, speaking of autonomous vehicles, I see where Tesla, I'm there in the middle of a trial down in Miami now, And so we'll see. They just settled another case with a death. This guy by the name of Jeremy Banner, I think his name was. Rest in peace, Jeremy. He died like six or seven years ago.

According to the lawsuit, his model three with autopilot turned on and drove into a tractor trailer crossing the road. Now, that's very sad. But I'd like to know how, I guess, if it's... turned on automatically then Jeremy didn't realize it and couldn't shut it off at time

they settled that case okay but there's a lawsuit going on right now in Miami same kind of thing so this the details of that a person died it the car was in

autonomous mode and the guy who was behind the wheel the car was you know self-driving and he drops his phone. This is the story I read. So he drops his phone and he goes down to grab his phone and he hits the accelerator.

And he accelerates and hits a van. And somebody in the van died. All right. How is that Tesla's fault? I just want to know. I was in self-driving mode and the guy is the one who hit the accelerator.

and then that caused the crash, but that's Tesla's fault. I am not real sure I understand that. But okay, if you say so, I don't know if it's supposed to break, if it's not supposed to accelerate unless you take it out of self-driving mode. okay all right but most of these crashes if we could just take the humans out of it

we'd be fine it's just damn humans that are causing all the problems there's been all kinds of crashes I talked about it I talked about it on Pat's show for sure I don't know if I mentioned it here but the main thoroughfare

that I take we all take to get to the studios here in Irving Tech is incredible. And in the last month, I've seen more accidents than I've seen in the time I've been here. Now, there may be my

feeling that there's more crashes now. I'm sure the numbers might not be right. So, oh, Jeff, you know what you're talking about. There were more crashes back in 2013. That's the first year you got you there. Okay, I don't know the numbers. I'm just saying where I drive,

I've seen more accidents than ever before. And they're fatal accidents. I looked into them I mean people are dying and it's not pretty so I don't know what's going on I don't know there's more traffic than ever at 4.30 a.m. in the morning

when I come to the studios in Irving so I don't know what's going on but you having this Tesla story without me I thought you and your Cuban shirt left you're having the Tesla story without me there was an update because we talked about it earlier this week and you're not going to give me the update

you're just going to let me sit there and just be like, wait, he's talking about the self-driving, which he has no knowledge of because he doesn't. I do have knowledge of. I've read all about it. Exactly. Exactly. You've read all about it. So this is second-tier sourcing.

That's correct. Instead of going to the first tier of sourcing. My car could still hit a guardrail with me driving it, okay? I don't need help from it. I don't need help from AI. A guy that uses self-driving. for a week now. How's that going?

It's going great. It's so cool. I know. There's a big problem with it that I have with it, though. What is it? Not that it's running into people on its own when you're behind the wheel. But you have to actually be engaged. Now, there's a trick that I'm not going to tell you on air.

There's a trick around that. And I figured that it was, but my wife used it. She figured out the trick. Oh, nice. Because they make, according to the design, you are supposed to be engaged in the vehicle. You're not driving, you're not steering, you're not excelling. You're supervising, basically.

You supervising the car, make sure that a guy in front of you doesn't step in. Because we even did it. We did it with the summoning, which is the active summoning of the car. And if somebody walks in front of it or something? Keith ran, Keith walked, it did not hit him. we have video. I will say what a shame that is. He did it from the front.

If I didn't know what this was going on. Oh, dude, we did the whole experiment outside. We did the experiment outside. We need to do it again with a human behind the wheel. Okay. Oh, okay, let's do that. Because Keith needs to stand there and make sure that there's no accidents that can happen. I wanted to see.

I'll be the driver. The reason there is a, so for example, sometimes I will say this, I have to engage the, not the gas pedal, the go forward pedal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, the accelerator. It takes too much thinking. Yeah. Now they call it the accelerator.

Too much thinking. So I'll just, if I'm a stop sign, I'm like, bro, we're being for five seconds. Like, go. Then I'll just hit it. An alert will come up. Yeah, when you do that, and does it go or does it take a second? No, it goes. No, it goes.

It'll go. Because that's what this guy did in the case. He's saying that he was on, uh, cellarral, it was on, uh, self-driving or autonomous mode, and he drops the phone and hit the accelerator. So here's the thing. There's an alert,

which is interesting that they settled. No, this was another case that they settled. The one case in Miami, as far as I know, is still ongoing. Okay, cool. It's still ongoing. Because there is an alarm

and there's a warning that will come up when you're an autopilot and you hit the accelerator, it'll say, it will not break. Oh. It's telling you it will not break. And I'll take a picture.

So that's what happened to you. I'll send it to you. I'll send it to the sky in Miami. That's what happened to the sky in Miami because it crashed into the van. Autopilot will not stop if you hit in the accelerator. That's weird. I mean, I guess it's okay.

Well, no, because it in its mind, right, in its computer mind is thinking that, all right, he knows what he's doing. because he's supposed to be supervising me drive. And I'm making this car very human-like thinking, right? But it is. According to the programming of the car, if you're stepping on the on the accelerator,

it means you're paying attention and saying, hey, dude, I got this. Right. Which this guy wasn't. Which exactly. Now, should there have been, I don't know, a safety feature? Like all the newer cars have? I know the Lexus has it. I know the other big money cars have that

that kid going after the boss safety future going forward and backwards. Right? Should it have that? Okay. But even if it did. And it did because the one case in California where it ran over the person. The car didn't run over the...

Okay, the car ran over the person. All right. But the person was hit by another car and flew in front of the Tesla. Well, I'm not sure if that was a Tesla, but it was an autonomous taxi. Yeah. And the taxi, do, do, do.

And then stopped because it was like, oh, crap, I'm not supposed to, that's something happened. I can't do it. I mean, the car did what it was supposed to do. Yeah, the programming kicked it. The car did what it was supposed to do. So the autonomous taxi didn't actually hit the human. It was a second-hand hit.

Yeah. It's like, does you know, when... I didn't mean to run over your foot, okay? When you get secondhand cancer from secondhand smoke, that's what happened. Yeah, that's exactly what happened. Yeah. But yeah, it's fun. I love it, dude.

I really have, I really want to reach a point when I could just do what I want to do. Minority report will happen. That has to happen. I want to be able to not focus. So we talked about on the Today Show, right? We need $4,000 more $9 billion cuts in order to pay our debt. we moved the first box from the garage. We got the full self driving.

I know. I know. Right? The garage is getting cleared. So the first box. So as the garage is cleared, it'll park on its own. And you don't have to worry about it. It already parks.

You don't have to worry about it. I guess we got two boxes out of it. I mean with why don't have to pay attention. Or I could be doing something and I could look up and go, oh, crap. So here's the thing. One thing I notice for parking. So let's say, you know, you park, you don't have to pay attention at all. Oh.

Now, it's only like, you know, five, ten seconds. that you're not really paying attention. So we don't have that. And the other one that I really like, and it's pretty freaking cool, take about three weeks for the vehicle to learn your routes and like what you like. You know, I like when I'm coming to work,

I don't like to exit by the in and out. I don't like that exit. I like to keep going straight and take that exit where the stupid little new museum is. I like that exit, right? Took me three times. There's three or four exits that you could take, there are depending on how you feel how exactly this one is a straight shot just make that left turn

on the highway and then you're here yeah that's the one that i like it just learned yesterday and today that's the one that i like it's the one that i'm taking unless there's a car accident then it's taking me to 635 like i get that but it takes about three weeks for it to learn what you like to do Okay. Yesterday, for the first time, I put in my home address and it parked it all the way to the garage. Usually it will stop right in front of the house. Oh. This time it went all up to the driveway, and it stopped.

Now, Atessa, you have to back in because you have to plug it in. So I was like, okay, it's a win. When I came home last night from dinner, it didn't turn in, but what it did, it went forward and it stopped. It got me prepped to back in. So it's learning. Now, I can't wait for Grop 4 to get included in my car because he would have made the announcement four days ago. Yeah.

He said, Elon, not the car. You'll be able to, you'll be able to be in the car and do what you want. But optimist, you'll need an optimist robot that drives your Tesla. I don't see it. That's what's going to happen. That's what's going to happen.

I'm okay with an optimist and an, what's the same again? so I forgot. Optimus, a plug into the car and gets battery from the car? Okay. You let Optimus do it.

Okay. Optimus. Absolutely. Oh, I'm, come on. I'm in 100%. You're telling me that. Put some gloves on

because I need some dishes washed. And by the way, the pricing points is not that bad. It's between $10,000 and $15,000 for that stupid robot. That's what he said. And we'll see if that's worth it, though. But it's Elon, though. Think about it.

It's Elon. He can make it 10 to 15. Okay, let's make that happen then. Because I am so mad. I want to be able to, have my dishes done. I want my house cleaned. Yes.

Yes. Come on. Gutters. You know, folded laundry. Some would say that, you know, I don't want it to cook.

I don't want it to cook. I can do the cooking. I love to cook. That's one chore that. Yeah, but one of, okay. And I appreciate the way

my wife makes a few things, too, is when she's in the, you know, I don't tell her. So you don't cook. Well, I was just say,

you know, then it needs to do the dishes. Oh, well, yeah. I want to, I want to clean. Yeah, the right way. Not when I'm coming home.

Thank you. I don't want to come in and have the dishes still piled up in the sink, and that's something you're getting to. Don't even get me started. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately, and I have to pay attention to where I'm going. Earlier this week, we talked about some of the stuff

that Sethabees was putting up for auction, like the 54-pound Mars Rock, the meteorite, found by the meteorite hunter. Okay. In the Sahara Desert, which is the largest piece of Mars. It's kind of cool-looking. There's no doubt about that. And they had estimated that it would sell for like $2 to $4 million. And I told you, probably going to pay, go for more.

5.3 million. And then actually, technically, it was $5,296,000. for the 54-pound meteorite from Mars. Kind of cool. And then my favorite piece, and probably the world's favorite piece, was the juvenile seratosaurus skeleton, which was just cool.

It was assembled with about 140 fossil bones. I think 136 of them, if I'm right, were the real one. 139 were originally. I undercut them by three 139 were original so holy cow that's awesome

and it stood about 6 foot 3 it's about 10 feet long almost 11 feet long looked really really cool and it would be so cool to have in your home it would be so cool and I know the guy who bought it

said oh I'm going to share it with the museum if I had the money it's mine all right if I invite you over, you get to see it. Here you go, every once in a while, I'll snap a pick for Instagram and say, look what I have that you don't, okay?

Okay, so, just amazing. So they estimated that it was going to sell for, I think, $6 million, something like that, and I remember saying, there's no way. It's going to be a lot more than that.

Yeah, that's exactly right. The official price, Now they, the advertising saying, Yep, we sold it for $26 million. But the full price with the fees and costs, $30.5 million. I know. Holy cow.

Just incredible. But it is beautiful. You know, remember last year they sold the, the Segasaurus Apex? That was for $44.6 million. and then a couple years ago they sold the one dinosaur skeleton Stan that's right Stan the Taranosaurus Rex Skeleton sold for 31.8 million

so the apex was the highest and so this one the juvenile makes it the third most so you had apex for 44.6 Stan for 31.8 and then this one the seratosaurus for 30 million, 30.5 million. Incredible. It's beautiful. It's beautiful.

It would be so great. And if you have the 30 million to pay for it, good for you. I was hoping that it would be purchased by someone familiar with this building named Glebc or Mercury 1. And I could put that bad boy right outside the doors that I'm looking out right now from the studio so I could just, you know, walk by it every day. I don't think that's going to happen. Don't think that's going to happen.

So what are you going to do? Now, someone did the cave bear, the cave bear skeleton that I thought would be kind of cool. It's like eight foot 10 inches tall. And it's a, you know, it's a prehistoric cave bear. It's kind of cool. It would look really nice next to the polar bear that we have out here in the atrium. But and it was a fair price. Like this one, I think if I felt like the guy who's.

spent 30 million on the, I got to make sure that I call it by the right name, the seratosaurus. The guy who spent 30.5 million on that, he probably bought the cave bear skeleton for the kids. He was like, all right, shut up. I'll take it. Here's $36,560.

Take it home to the kids. Put it in their room. I don't want to hear it anymore. Because it was really cool. I thought it would be worth more than 36,000. I said 30,000. It's 36,000. But I thought it would be worth more than that.

But nope. So the CEO and his girlfriend, the CEO and his girlfriend are out at a concert. Yes, come on. Well, you leave hubby at home. I'll leave wife at home. We'll go to the Coldplay show, just you and me. And I just can't wait to be with you.

and I just want to see you. Let's go to the concert. We'll have a nice quiet evening, okay? I got us a great spot to stand and watch the show. We're right there off to the left from the stage. It'll be wonderful, and, you know, you just look as pretty as ever for me, okay? Okay, let's go. And we'll just watch the show, and oh, I love this Coldplay song.

I know you do, baby. So let's just stand up, and I'll hold you, and we can listen to your favorite song. and then the cameraman chose a picture of them, of the man and his girlfriend. And instead of just kissing each other and moving on, just turning away from the camera, giving a kiss, and moving on,

nope, he's got a duck down and she turns away. And even the guy announcing is like, oh, I're either having an affair, or they're really shy. It wasn't about being shy. Okay, it was about the affair. They should have, they reacted very poorly. Very poorly.

Now, I know it's the heat of the moment, literally, the heat of the moment, but I, exactly, and we've all looked. I understand how affairs work, okay? You're at work and things happen. And it just happens. Okay, enough with the music. I don't want to get started.

I'm not doing the HR guy here, okay? I'm not doing it. I could pretend if you want. But everybody's talking about him. So his wife, you know, deletes the account and changes her name. She really did. She changed his,

she took his name off of her Facebook account and then deleted it. She wasn't going to have it deleted with his name on it. I'm not deleting it with your name on it, okay? I'm taking your name off. And then I'm deleting it, okay? So that's awesome.

I mean, she's in as much trouble as he is, unless Hubby was aware of it. And Hubby's like, yeah, I know. It's okay, baby. I got you. I mean, I don't know. I mean, affairs are just a nightmare for everybody involved, usually.

I mean, there are times when it works out. And you're going to say, win, Jeff, win. I'm not telling you. And I will say, I don't think it's real, but I saw where Coldplay posted on their X account, I think, and I don't think, I don't believe that it's real. Starting with our next show, we're introducing camera-free audience sections

for people in their side pieces. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I don't care if it's real or not. That's funny. That's funny business right there. And you could bet on the CEO. Now that's the thing. Okay, so I can bet if the CEO

So you can bet either yes or no. So cold play concerts and by people are cheating and he'll get divorced. Yeah, it's all about him. It's not about the HR girl. So I can bet on him getting a divorce. All right. So let's see, either yes or no, if they both have confirmed divorces. Oh, see, that's different than what it says.

See, okay, so you can bet on both of them. Okay, good. I'm glad we're getting a little HR business in there. Business, not business. and so they both have confirmed divorces by August 31st. No way. No way. Don't say yes.

Don't make that bet. August 31st, that's like right around the corner. You're not getting a divorce by then. They may not be living together. And they still may be fighting and hating each other. But they may be Tony sopranoing. Somebody sent me a clip of Tony Soprano from the Sopranos, when she was throwing all his clothes out the window.

Ah ha ha! Colerious. And Tony walks up, he's like, what the... That's so good. Such a great scene. Yeah, there's no way that both of them are going to be divorced by August 31st. I'm not gambling and I'm not telling you how to gamble. I'm just saying that if I were to pick this bet,

I would bet that they would not be divorced by August 31st. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Felix Bumgartner. Felix Bumgartner. Dead. I know so sad at the age of 56. Now, you remember Felix. the Australian skydiver, the skydiver,

who became the first human to travel faster than the speed of sound without assistance of a craft. Right? Do you remember him? Felix jumped from space for Red Bull and us. Landed in New Mexico, USA. It was awesome. I'll never forget. I mean, that was a Saturday, I think, maybe a Sunday.

I'll never forget. I'll never forget. I remember exactly where I was when we stopped to watch it. but I'm just telling you it was amazing and he just passed away now here's the thing he kind of died doing what he loved to do

okay he was in Italy and they think that he suffered a medical issue because he had he was flying a motorized paraglider and they think that because of how he crashed they think

that he suffered a medical issue while in flight because He came down and then he crashed into a swimming pool at a tourist village. But he died loving what he was loving his life. So, I mean, he was a symbol of courage and passion for extreme flight. Yeah, he sure was. I mean, that guy's a superstar for one jump, man. 24 miles.

24 miles into space. He jumped off of that thing. He traveled 843.6 miles per hour. Holy cow. I mean, he was moving. You watched that video, and it's just incredible, incredible. So rest in peace to Felix Bumgartner, dead at the age of 56. Speaking of skydivers, there was a skydiver who had a mid-air collision in Illinois,

and it did not end well for one of the skydivers. Now they're saying every story I see says, Oh, it was just like the death a few days ago From Dr. Lou, Dr. Noel Liu, Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Lou. And they all love Dr. Liu. But there's no name of the skydiver that died after Dr. Liu. So I guess this guy must have been a CIA plant.

I'm not sure. We can't tell you his name. We could just tell you that this 40-year-old man died after colliding with another skydiver midair. Okay. All right. So apparently both men deployed their parachute. shoots, then they collided. Okay. So then, after they

collided, they I'm not a fan of this at all. They parted ways, and then the other one landed with minor injuries, and the second one, who we don't know,

who wasn't Dr. Liu, I guess he was a CIA plant. We don't even know who the first guy was coming to think of it. he the second guy who died described as an uncontrolled descent into a parking lot holy cow I mean that's... Ouch!

Yeah, that's like Buzz Lightyear. Hello. Yeah, it's falling with style except that wasn't style at the end because there's a parking lot there. Oh, very said. So rest in peace to this 40-year-old man who is not Dr. Lou

died in another skydiving accident. He did not have a mid-air collision though. Lou, I believe, just well, we'll just say, landed hard. So rest and peace to all of them. All of them.

Holy cow. Whether they landed hard or they had an uncontrolled dissent. Then we have the guy we talked about a few weeks ago, Philadelphia, former Philadelphia Eagle linebacker, Brahman, who was fighting this rare form of cancer,

and they had set up a GoFundMe page, and he had said all along that the money came along, and when he needed a special treatment, the money came along and helped, and everybody was so happy in helping him, and he's passed away. So I don't know, I guess it just wasn't enough. But he's dead at the age of 38,

linebacker, former linebacker, Brian Brahmann. dead at the age of 38 and they you know everybody was donating and talking about him and he was they all loved this guy and I get it it's really really sad and he's got a family and it's just just not fun at all

something to go through but I did say that I was surprised it was I don't think I said it was taking so long but it was I'm surprised that it's surprised that he had stayed alive this long battling what he was battling pretty sure

anyway rest in peace to Brian Bromyn, dead at the age of 38. Then we have someone, and the only reason I'm doing this is because I can't figure out who she was. Mary Martin, and it says in that the headline says, Country music icon and unsung hero, Mary Martin, dies at the age of 85. And I thought, okay, well, let's find out who Mary Martin was. Well, Mary Martin was a figure who had been active.

behind the scenes in the country folk and rock music industries. That means she was cleaning dressing rooms? She was sweeping up the stage at the Grand Ole Opry. You are such a... I know, I know, I'm just a pig. So she, for over 60 years, she was a highly respected manager, executive, and Grammy award-winning producer.

There you go, that's what she was. She wasn't cleaning anybody's green room. Passes away at the age of 85. Now, we don't know what killed her. We just know that... Yeah, we know it was an undisclosed illness. So, rest in peace to Mary Martin, the unsung hero of country music dead at the age of 85.

Okay, so this person hasn't died, and the show is not dead yet, but it is going to pass away soon. Stephen Colbert and the late show Bye They're going to hang around I think till May of next year But he's already announced that the show

Is being canceled The network Now they are of course Cobert and all his Do people Believe that it's because they paid off Donald Trump to $15 or $18 million Paramount

So that they could get the merger done And they think that cost Stephen Colbert's job Okay I mean I'm okay I have not, so, so. I mean, if it happens, so. I don't think that's why. I think really that it was no longer profitable,

and that's what they said. And, I mean, he said in his little thing, his little monologue saying, telling us when the show was going to, you know, it's over, it's not just me. I'm not losing my job. The show is over. Oh, okay.

It's not that you ran the show into the ground. Got it. Okay. And I don't want people to lose their jobs. I really don't. But he's just terrible. Now he has 200 people working on his show. 200 people working on his show.

And that's the crap he puts out every night. Jeff, how many people work on this show? One, me. I don't want to take all the credit, okay? I mean, yes, I do kind of, because it really is. I mean, it's me. But there's what? There's one, well, Wes, you know, does,

records the show a couple times a week, and then they produce it. And there's Darien and Haley. So there's four people involved in the show, but they don't have direct, they don't have, they don't do daily content for the show. Why is that? Oh, because it's me.

Anyway, that's how good this show is. Maybe they need to help is what needs to happen. No, when I'm thinking about it, I've got to stop talking about this. At Desjardin, we speak business.

Well, we all have our tell, Mr. Fisher, and, oh, hey, by the way, I was on cameo, and I was getting a gift for my wife whose birthday's coming up in August.

I must have missed my order. Well, I'm going to go ahead. You know Wayne Knight Newman, Newman from Seinfeld? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Newman, yeah. Did you know he charges 10 times what you charge? He's a pretty big star, though. I mean, but not 10 times. He's not 10 times bigger than me, bastard.

You'll get the headlines read to you the way I want to read the headlines. Okay. You don't make the rules around here, Mark. All right, I don't care, you Mr. Human lie detector. Now you're starting to, we may fight. We may fight at the end of this. Okay, let's do this. Four headlines. One not real.

What's the lie? Headline number one. San Francisco tennis coach says a Waymo drove off with pricey equipment. Headline number two. The man who first powdered cheese was doing it for nefarious reasons. Headline number three. Hungary's oldest library. Oh, I started talking regular there for a second.

I can't do that. Hungary's oldest library is fighting to save one. 100,000 blocks from a beetle infestation. Headline number four. Two guys hated using Comcasts so much they built their own fiber, ISP. Those are your four headlines, all right? Headline number one. San Francisco tennis coach says a Waymo drove off with a pricey equipment.

Headline number two. The man who first powdered cheese was doing it for nefarious reasons. Headline number three. Hungary's oldest library is fighting to save 100,000 books from a beetle infestation. Headline number four. Two guys hated using Comcast so much they built their own ISP. All right, those are your four headlines. All right, Mark, what is the lie?

I'm sure you probably could tell. Well, I could, but honestly, you made it a little harder. But the inflection, during one of the words, specifically relating, to a food item was the giveaway. Okay. So I would say that the cheese one is the fake one. You would be 100% correct and you're pissing me up. I mean, congratulations.

You're not making me mad. I mean, congratulations for playing. What's the Lie? And, man, thanks for listening to What's the Lie. What's the Lie is a subsidiary of chewing the fat enterprises. All information is probably accurate at the time of recording. CTFWTL MMXXV
