Starting point is 00:00:00 With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Scientists have found that doing even one small act of joy each day can boost your mood, by over 25% each week.
Starting point is 00:00:34 So if you do one small act of joy a day, that can boost your mood by over 25% each week. Now, it's based on an analysis of surveys involving at least 11,000 people. According to the study, anything from gratitude list to doing something kind for others had a sizable impact on mood each week. And as one researcher put it, it could lead to greater well-being,
Starting point is 00:01:06 better coping, less stress, more satisfaction with relationships. It's the little things. You thought I was going to make a joke there, didn't you? My gosh, that would not be very nice. Welcome! Welcome to chewing the fat. Nothing really is sacred anymore or seems to be sacred anymore.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Do you know who Buffy St. Marie is? I really didn't recall her, but she's an Academy Award folk singer who has claimed Native American heritage since the 1960s. And in her art and activism, she's been called the, you know, she always does things through the industry. indigenous perspective and repeatedly condemning colonization and referring to America's founding and the supposed erasure of American Indians as genocide. She also has touted herself as a survivor of an allegedly racist government welfare program that placed certain Native American kids in foster homes. And everyone loved her for a year.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Apparently there's been stories that she was forcibly taken away from her Native American family. She was raised in a small town where there was almost nobody that looked like her. But she was Cree! That was Cree Indian! And now, I mean, you look at 50 years of claiming to have, and I use the word claiming, by the way, to have Native American heritage. And she said that one time she was, a full-blooded Algonquin Indian.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Then in 1963, a few years, a few months later, she said, oh, well, I'm half mimic by birth. Well, and then she told reporters that she was Cree on the Peapot First Nation Reserve in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. And who doesn't, I mean, that's beautiful this time of year. The Peapot First Nation Reserve on the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, man. Beautiful. She was then, that's where she was born,
Starting point is 00:03:34 and she was then sent to live with a Massachusetts couple who had become her adoptive parents. And she was taken against her will. And so that's just those racist polities of, called 60s scoop. Apparently that's what happened. So she, you know, her dance, her music, her activism, all was around race.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Yeah, well, the birth certificate, people started wondering, you know, she's changed her story a bunch and she keeps whining about all this stuff. We probably ought to check into it a little bit. Huh, go figure. The birth certificate. We went ahead and reached out to some family members. We looked at some gene data, some genealogical data. And an altogether another report from the Canadian state media. altogether. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:04:30 she wasn't even born in Canada. She was not likely adopted and she's most likely an Italian and English heritage. She found a good road to be on and it was a good gig and she just kept going down that road.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And now it's all falling apart. And I believe the phrase is, oh, what a wicked We weave when first we try to deceive. I mean, you can quote me on that. I see where Martha Stewart, you know, Snoop Doug's girlfriend, has decided that she is not going to have Thanksgiving dinner. She said, I guess she was on the latest episode of Kelly Clarkson show.
Starting point is 00:05:19 And, man, I devoured it. I didn't catch it. But she said on the Kelly Clarkson show that she called off hosting a Thanksgiving celebration. I canceled it nine guests, nine of her guests, canceled because somebody got sick. So I called up my chef, wait, why does Martha Stewart have a chef? Isn't she her own chef? And I said, we're not doing Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Plus, you know, I'm sick of cooking. Now that makes sense. That's why Martha has her own chef. She's just tired of cooking. I've cooked 14 turkeys on my TV show. I still have to cook one more today. so forget it so Martha has had enough
Starting point is 00:06:05 now I guess she's alluding to someone of the nine guests somebody got sick to them having COVID is what it sounds like but I mean Martha's friends unless it's Snoop are probably as old as she is so of course somebody got sick and speaking of Snoop I know where he
Starting point is 00:06:25 staying he's gonna you know give up smoke. That's what he said. He said, I'm quitting smoking. And he asked for one second, Snoop. I'll be right with you. You're going to give this up. Okay, go ahead. Good luck, Snoop. I hope it works out for you. I hope it's happy. He asked for privacy for he and his family. Yeah, the withdrawal is going to be something. If he actually does it, I mean, that guy smokes a lot of weed, or at least he made it appear that he smoked a lot of of weed. And if he's going to give it up, the withdrawal is going to be
Starting point is 00:07:03 mighty. And it's not just going to be physical. It's going to be mental. So, I mean, if that's what he wants, good for him. But as for the rest of us, we'll be thinking of you, Snoop. You know what I'm saying? There is good news, though,
Starting point is 00:07:33 from the American Farm Bureau Federation's annual survey of holiday food prices. And I love the American Farm Bureau, Federation's annual survey of holiday food i can't even say it i love the american farm bureau federation's annual survey of holiday food prices oh my gosh so good news for you and your thanksgiving dinner uh the spread is going to run a party of 10 4.5 percent less than you spent last year huh man
Starting point is 00:08:13 that is good. You don't know how good you have it. You don't know how good you have it. So that's good news. Because it's likely because of the dropping prices of turkeys. And I would notice that we, I don't know if we talked about it the other day or on or off the show,
Starting point is 00:08:30 but I really noticed how gas prices were really getting low. Lower. Still, they need to go a lot lower. But I know 262, and I'm happy. I paid 262 a gallon. yesterday and I thought, holy cow, that's pretty good. But I drove by one Sam's Club, but they had it at $255.
Starting point is 00:08:49 And, but I see this morning, it's back up. I put gas in my car last night, 262. Eight, nine hours later, I drive by and it's up 13 cents. That's incredible. Okay. All right. So I don't know what's happening with it, but. you know, fill up now.
Starting point is 00:09:14 It couldn't be because of the holidays and they're going to charge more for gas. I don't, that's silly. What am I even thinking? But because of the fact that you're going to be saving 4.5% less than you paid last year.
Starting point is 00:09:30 So, man, that's right. In fact, you're going to have so much money you're not going to know what to do with it. Let me help you with that. You can purchase Quinn Pitman. Whitman's goat soap. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Most people who buy soap from the store don't realize what it's doing to their skin. Store bought soap will get you clean, but it's also drying out your skin. Yeah, I believe that's kind of by design. So you buy all their other products. Soap made correctly doesn't do that. And soap made correctly with goat's milk, specifically Quinn Pittman's goat milk soap, is outstanding. He's been making it the right way since he was nine years old.
Starting point is 00:10:17 We had Quinn on the show not too long ago. The Quinn Pitman QPgoatsoap.com, Goat Milk Kingdom from Quinn is happening right now.

So Jason Butchell and my son Maximus and I will do the last Talking Walking Dead for Fear.

But we will do a Talking Walking Dead this week. and then I'll see you next week the following week because I'm off. Okay, so I would have probably worked except they said,
Starting point is 00:12:51 well, the studios are going to be dark and people are going to be off, so do you really want to do a show? And, you know, and I was like, well, I mean, any time that you ask me, do you really want to do a show, the answer is, yes, of course I do.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Of course I do. but you're saying you're not going to be here so man darn the luck darn the luck so how about a little QPy goatsoap.com
Starting point is 00:13:22 get you clean for the holidays don't forget to use the promo code okay what is it again repeat it back to me J-E-F-F-Y you know what it is
Starting point is 00:13:37 QPagote soap.com all let's go to the break room I need something cold to drink desperately. So Todd Graves, the founder of the fast food chain, Raising Cains, is now worth $7.6 billion. Now, that's according to Bloomberg's Billionaire's Index. I mean, I thumbed through the Bloomberg billionaire index. Well, daily.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Now, that makes him the 307th wealthiest person in the world and the richest man in Louisiana. Now, there's something to hang your hat on. Known for its tasty chicken fingers and mysterious proprietary sauce, Raising Cains did $3.3 million in sales for the 12 months ending in June. And recently, now they have 750 locations worldwide, and they also have a flagship location in the in Times Square.
Starting point is 00:14:46 So that's kind of cool. I have never eaten there. My daughter has been there a couple times because I know I've and she's had stuff there and they went out and we're going to me and I do listen to when she talks to me but I barely care. And I've never had them
Starting point is 00:15:04 and I'm told that one of the things that makes it worth so much money is that they charge for sauces. I don't know that. I think most places charge for sauces now. If you order,
Starting point is 00:15:16 like if I say, you know, I want, would you like sauce with that? And I say, yeah, I would like ketchup or whatever. And they give you like two.
Starting point is 00:15:26 You get the complimentary two, which really isn't complimentary, by the way, because you're charging me $85 for the burger I'm getting. But that's aside from the point. So they, but if I say,
Starting point is 00:15:37 oh, yeah, those two packets, I need. I need a few more than that, honey. Then they charge you. Now, if they charge me, I make them, I open up the bag and say, put them in. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:15:48 You're not going to just throw a couple more in there. And when I say extra ketchup, I mean extra ketchup. I don't mean two little packets more, okay? Just saying, I'll tell you another trick that you can use. This is a helpful side hint that I did. I haven't done it in a while because I haven't been to a Wendy's in a while. When you go to Wendy's,
Starting point is 00:16:08 they like to be a little chinty on the packets. And I understand. It costs the company money. I get it. I understand what they're doing. And they've browbeat the employees. Don't be just giving handfuls of packets in those bags. You make sure you put just two of those in a bag.
Starting point is 00:16:24 And if they have something out, you can put a little salt, a little pepper thing. Whatever. I get it. I understand. They're getting browbeat. So when I say, you know, give me extra. They always, you know, reach in and like they drop an extra two in there or something. It's just agonizing.
Starting point is 00:16:37 but if you go into the store ask for the extra ketchup and then say oh you know what can I have a cup for a glass of water and they give you the little clear cup for water they have the ketchup pumps for ketchup and you can put as much ketchup in that water cup as you want
Starting point is 00:16:57 I'm just saying think outside of the box once in a while there's no off switch on genius that's why you come here to chewing the fat thank you I appreciate it you can follow me on Twitter or X at Jeffrey JFR. Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. The YouTube channel is Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.

Starting point is 00:17:36 It's okay. They're my job. They're my pimp and you're the John. That's the way I look at it. I'm sorry that you, I ain't thinking that you're the, you're not really the John. That's just the process of it. But you can go to Cameo at Jeffrey JFR and order to your cameo.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Let me know whether you want happy, glad, sad, mad, mean, whatever you need. And I'll do it because, well, I'm the hooker. Do you see where Amazon is going to start delivering, they're going to let you order a car. I shouldn't say deliver it. They're going to let you order cars on Amazon now, starting next year. And it starts with Hyundai. I'm a huge fan of Hyundai.
Starting point is 00:18:14 I changed my name to Brandon Hyundai for a deal or a radio deal. Drove a Honda car for a year because of that. That was fun. They never understood the full potential of that deal. But I was Jeff Fisher, Brandon Hyundai, formerly Jeff Fisher. The Brandon, Florida Hyundai dealership was awesome. It was awesome. bit. However, Hyundai, you'll be able to order
Starting point is 00:18:39 from Amazon. So you go on Amazon.com and order a car. How about that? Huh? Ha! That's kind of cool. The company said that they want to launch this digital showroom for shoppers to research and compare vehicles, and you'll be able to buy the cars on Amazon. The dealer will still be the end of seller. So you're either going to pick it up at the dealership or the
Starting point is 00:19:02 dealership will deliver it. You mean Amazon won't be delivering, just dropping the car off in front of my house. They should. You know, I have a couple of big drones and just dropped that bad boy off in front of my house. No problem. Or, I don't know, use an Amazon truck.
Starting point is 00:19:18 But whatever's easiest for you. But Amazon should do it. I'm sure that will be the, that they will soon be doing that. And as part of the deal, this is, who, man, this is good, great part of the deal. Hyundai is going to include Amazon's Alexa voice assistant.
Starting point is 00:19:36 in cars starting in 2025. So that's kind of cool, right? You have Alexa in your automobile. Good times. No, why would they? I don't think, as far as I know, that's not been proven that those Hyundai fires have been started by Alexa.
Starting point is 00:19:59 As far as I know right now. Everything is under investigation. So there's that. Do you see where I don't even have the story in front of me. I was listening to a report where the Amazon, like you see the footage on social media where Amazon delivery trucks are getting robbed. So the Amazon driver will be taking the package up to a house
Starting point is 00:20:21 and then three or more people will come up to the truck and take all of the stuff out of it. Well, now, not only is that happening, but the actual delivery semis are getting robbed. and they're just being pulled over and the stuff is being taken. Back of the day, when I was stealing semis and stuff,
Starting point is 00:20:45 we used to do it at night and you had to have a tractor and you'd back up to the trailer and take the whole trailer. You don't need to do that anymore. You just have to pull it over on the highway and take the stuff out of it. We're going to need security.
Starting point is 00:20:59 I see where stores, I was seeing a picture the other day, and I'm guessing it's real. I don't know that it is. for a fact, but they were showing where clothes are behind locked glass doors at specific stores. They said Walmart. I don't know that Walmart is doing that, but I'm sure that some stores, some clothing stores are doing that. But we know that they're putting other goods at pharmacies, you know, Walgreens and CVS behind locked glass doors. So are we just, I mean, we're soon, you're not going to have any brick and mortar stores.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Right? They'll have warehouses where they keep it and it will be delivered. And it's going to have to be delivered in an unmarked vehicle. I mean, maybe the drones are the only way to do it safely. Because, you know, then people start shooting drones out of the sky. You know, Kriva is always an issue. Just be safe out there, okay? It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Well, almost, almost anything. So, no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no. But chicken tenders, yes. Because those are groceries, and we deliver those too. Along with your favorite restaurant food, alcohol, and other everyday essentials.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Order Uber Eats now. For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details. Who died today? Who died today? Mikhail Yenghison.
Starting point is 00:22:46 He's a hockey player. for Armada Hockey Club in the SHL Amateur League, and I'm a huge fan of the Armada Hockey Club in the SHL Amateur League. He just collapsed during a hockey game, and he's dead now. Yeah. So rest in peace, Mikhail Janjussin.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Now, he was 61 years old. That seems like a little old to be playing in the Arrador. Armada Hockey Club S HL Amateur League. But I digress. He looked like, you know, he was in good shape, and he watched the video, and he just slides down to the ice face first. They're on a transition, and they're a side out. This guy just go home.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Down he goes. And it's done. He's done for it, man. Nobody put a skate to his throat. Nobody put a skate to his jugular or any kind of other. other vein on his body, he just dropped. So right now, the cause of death is, well, it's unknown. Now, okay, don't look at me like that,
Starting point is 00:24:03 because it doesn't say that in the story. And he's 61 playing for the Armada Hockey Club in the S.HL. Amateur League. So, you know, they didn't say. say anything. I didn't say what it was. So there's no reason for you to look at me and shaking your head like, ah, that's what it is. I knew it. Because you didn't.
Starting point is 00:24:27 But rest in peace. Mikhail Janjusen. Sixty one. Still dead. You know, just watching that video again. Maybe it's an old guy's league. I don't know. Because, and an old
Starting point is 00:24:44 guy league, the 61, maybe it's an old guy's league because he's laying flat on the ice and they try, they realize they come down to him, the other players come down to him, they realize, ooh, the bro is not happening, nothing is happening here. And they go to, and it's going to be hard to roll a guy over on the ice anyway. I get that.
Starting point is 00:25:03 But, you know, they're trying to roll him back on his back because he's faced down, and he's got his pads on, his skates on, you know, and everything, and he's just, they're trying to, you know, tip him back over to his back. And that seems like it's more of a difficult task that it should have been. But again, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:23 full pads and everything, and he just down, he goes, and it's over. And the game goes on. The camera's like, oh, hey, Michaela's down. The ref comes up, pat's him, hey, bro. And then, there we go. Now we're trying to, now we're trying.
Starting point is 00:25:39 So it might be an old guy's league. I don't know, maybe that's part of the Armada Hockey Club's deal, is that it's the amateur league, but it's the old guy league. It's possible. It's tough to tell they're all in their hockey outfits. Those know those outfits.
Starting point is 00:25:54 They're not uniforms or pads or anything. They're outfits. So anyway, rest in peace, Michael. No. I hope we find out what actually was the cause of death. We may never know. Okay, so I know that it's, you know, football season, college basketball has started.
Starting point is 00:26:11 But we didn't get to baseball news. We have baseball got three big stories yesterday. We have the Shohadi, Otani, and the bright, that's all you say his name. Yes, I know. How do you say his name? Shohei, O'Sohe. Showe, that's what I said, Shohai. Shohaahe Othane.
Starting point is 00:26:36 How do you say his name? Otani. That's what I said. And Ronald Akuna Jr. Are both the MLB's American League and National League MVP. Congratulations to them. and I'm just messing. How do you say this name again?
Starting point is 00:26:54 Shohei. I've just messing with you, man. I know how to pronounce your name. Even though you're injured and you can't play. Are you still going to be like with the Angels? You're still going to sign a deal? What are you doing? Where are you going?
Starting point is 00:27:03 What's happening? Does anybody want you anymore? I don't know. Like every team in the league wants, but that's another story. Major League Baseball also approved that the Oakland Aids, I'm sorry, the Oakland Athletics, would move to Las Vegas
Starting point is 00:27:19 Huh, they're going to move to Las Vegas. Isn't that interesting? So the potential stadium plans in Oakland had stalled, and the team in the league were blaming politicians and vice versa. And so they had a deal, I thought, for a reimagining of Howard Terminal in the Port of Oakland, which was a 55-acre parcel, that would have developed 6 million square feet of commercial buildings,
Starting point is 00:27:45 residential, and a 35,000-seat stadium. That sounds kind of cool, actually. sounded like a good thing. The $12 billion price tag proved, yeah, that's too much. And so, Las Vegas, which
Starting point is 00:28:01 had already said, hey, well, we've got the football team. So why don't, why don't we just think the baseball team, too? All right. So they tried to get some public funding, and that wasn't easy. The A's initially sought $500 million in public
Starting point is 00:28:17 money. Then, I remember back in June, the Nevada Senate passed a $380 million bill. Have a great week, Fisher. You have a great Thanksgiving. I love you and see you Monday. Now this Monday,
Starting point is 00:28:33 the following Monday. Peace out. That couldn't wait? I was just in the middle of the show. It's all of it. Thank you. Thank you. You too. You take care. I appreciate it. Happy
Starting point is 00:28:47 you too. See you. Thank you It's nice of him to stop by It's the micro things It is the micro things We started the show with that So nice Turn somebody's life around like that
Starting point is 00:29:02 Or not So anyway Nevada Senate passed A $380 million bill After the A's agreed To allow the use of a suite At the stadium for community groups Oh, that's nice That's nice of them
Starting point is 00:29:15 I'll tell you what You give me 400 million you can have a room. Absolutely. We'll give you a room over there. For who the some sort of community group? Yeah, they can have that room over there.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Don't worry, no problem. So they also pledged an annual $1.5 million donation to the community and offered resources to help mitigate homelessness in Las Vegas. Okay. I mean, they're going to buy new tents. And they are not going to pay
Starting point is 00:29:45 the relocation fee as part of the deal. So anyway, congratulations to Las Vegas. You now will have a major league baseball team soon. I mean, they still have to work on a new stadium in Vegas, too. And so we'll see how long that takes. I know they're looking at, I don't know, building some 33,000 seat stadium in Vegas. I don't know how long that will take for them to get built.
Starting point is 00:30:11 But I know there's some political action committee that are schools over stadiums. And they're just saying no. No, we don't want to fund those stadiums. Good luck with that. We'll see how that goes for you because I feel like it's not going to go well. Because those things, even though everyone says schools over stadiums, they don't really mean it.
Starting point is 00:30:36 And speaking to Vegas, I see that they've got the big Formula One racing this weekend beginning. They've shut down the city pretty much. They've blocked it all off for the race, for the car race. You know, drivers are going to head down. the strip and they're passing all the resorts and venues. And I think they, I think it's around this fear as well. And people are pissed. If I went to Vegas and I had to be blocked off with fences for this F1 race, I'd be pissed.
Starting point is 00:31:06 And I know it's, you know, one of the, you know, big growing fan base and everything for the Formula One races. And they just had that big one here in the state of Texas that was, you know, huge. and they have the one down in Miami. And all kinds of people show up. It's the races of the hoity tooty of the F-to-D-1 races. But shut up in down cities, man.
Starting point is 00:31:31 People get a little angry. People get a little angry. And I was living in, forget what year that was, 100 years ago now in St. Petersburg, Florida, which is part of Tampa Bay. But they had the St. Pete Grand Prix. And at that time,
Starting point is 00:31:46 technically I lived in the city of St. Peter. I'm not happy about it. I'm not happy about it with the detours. This is the way I go. I don't want to have to go another way for the next four weeks because you're getting ready for a race. And you know what happens?
Starting point is 00:32:04 I go the other way until the race is over. So have the flight attendants? I'm sorry, the sky waitresses gone on strike yet for American Airlines. Are they out picketing? I thought, I heard rumors that they were going to pick it. and they want more money everybody wants more money. Every day
Starting point is 00:32:21 a new company, a new union is going on strike because somebody else is making more money than them and they're going to go on strike. So if you this is a perfect time for the American airline flight attendants to go on strike just before Thanksgiving travel starts. So good luck.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Good luck if you have to fly. I've flown now over the Thanksgiving holiday well once and I got stuck and it's not not fun. It's not fun at all. Also, American Airlines, they're looking to hire veteran pilots. Why would they be looking to hire veteran pilots? They had plenty of veteran pilots. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:33:00 A lot of them retired and everything when they started mandating things. It's just crazy. So if you want to make a little extra money, they're giving bonuses out. If you work, and I know I have a ton of of listeners that are pilots for UPS and FedEx. Hey guys, how you doing? Thanks for listening. Appreciate it. Or, you know, for sure, delivery drivers. So the delivery drivers, you know the pilots
Starting point is 00:33:28 that are flying across the country. So let them know that they could go to work for American Airlines right now and get a bonus of $250,000. Did I ever talk about me being a pilot? for UPS. I do that on the side. Yeah. I just,
Starting point is 00:33:49 a weekend job. I deliver packages for UPS on the job. I'd be pretty sweet. I could use an extra $250,000. I don't know about you, but I could. So it's a
Starting point is 00:34:03 it's kind of good now, obviously, you know, it's a pretty niche bonus. But if you're a pilot for UPS and FedEx, boy it'd be be tough
Starting point is 00:34:18 to turn down now it's not 250,000 at once that's the only downside you get 175,000 bonus in your first paycheck which they probably take taxes
Starting point is 00:34:29 out of bastards and then the next year you get the other 75,000 still though still though that's not bad that's not bad at all are the flight attendant
Starting point is 00:34:43 striking for more money Is that what they're doing? Oh, okay. I was just checking. I was just checking. At least they'll have a little extra money, though. You know, the lady, other American Airlines.
Starting point is 00:34:53 They're doing great. They'll have plenty of money. Don't worry about it. The passenger who threatened the flight crew over mask. That deal is, it's over with now. Remember, oh man, this is way back in 2022. Times were so much different back then. The American Airlines flight was headed to Hawaii,
Starting point is 00:35:10 and shortly after the plane took off from Phoenix, a flight attendant told a woman she needed to wear a mask as part of the plane's policy in place, you know, at, the policy was at the time. And the woman put on her mask and then removed it. You bitch! And she removed it. And afterwards, she was accused of threatening and cursing at the flight crew and other passengers on board. And so now she's to the plea agreement to this. And she said, my behavior had escalated to the point that the air crew.
Starting point is 00:35:44 members were intimidated and not able to perform their duties. Okay. All right. So when she was issued a written warning, she threw the paper down and yelled some swear word. Okay. I mean, this is ridiculous. This is still going on.
Starting point is 00:36:05 We have her, you know, in the corner, my behavior escalated to the point that the air crew members were intimidated and unable to perform their duties. I know that this was interference with the flight crew And it's a I It was the way the plate rerouted and back to Phoenix And cost them money So now she was sentenced to
Starting point is 00:36:29 Three point six months in prison For this, she's 29 But apparently there said it's time served So I don't know if she's already If she's still been in prison since 2022 Or if she's out on bail and she was, I don't know, but it says she was sentenced to 3.6 months in prison, which is equivalent to time served on a charge of interference with a flight crew.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Okay, yeah, so she was. She was in jail for that, interference with a flight. Okay. And she was fined $38,952. So she's got to pay that restitution to American Airlines. She only had a public defender, defender. No wonder she got to do this deal. because it cost American money.
Starting point is 00:37:17 I mean, they had to reroute several flights. Several flights. Oh, no. She's sentenced to, then she has to have supervised release as she cannot fly aboard a commercial plane including any American Airlines flights unless she gets approval to do so.
Starting point is 00:37:36 Over a mask? It wasn't about the mask, Jeff. It was about how she reacted. and she reacted very poorly, poorly. And so why don't you shut up? Because she was, she already, she already admitted it in her plea deal. My behavior escalated to the point that the air crew members were intimidated and unable to perform their duties.

What's the Live? What's the lie? Where contestants try to decipher the lie
Starting point is 00:39:05 from our count of one, two, three, four headlines. One of them is not true. Thus, that's where we get. What's the lie? Our contestant today, returning champion, three-time returning champion, Terry Steen, if he wins, not only will he get to come back for another round, although that's not true.
Starting point is 00:39:24 I'm reading the script, but that's not true, because I look through the rules of chewing the facts. I got the rule book here. I brought it out. I actually brought the rule book out. I was looking through the different rules, and I found out that in paragraph two, subsection three of the rules, What's the Lie?
Starting point is 00:39:46 You get four chances, all right? Four wins or three wins and a loss, but you get four chances. Those are the rules, Terry. So this is it for you. And if you win or lose, this is your final try here on what's the lie? but if you win, you'll get another Talking Sense, Jeffie, Blue, Freshie.
Starting point is 00:40:05 And for more information, you can go to Talking Sense Facebook group and find a freshie sent and design just for you. If you were someone you love would like to be a contestant on what's the lie, you can always email Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. Terry, how are you, my friend? I'm doing great, Jeffie. A little crestfallen over the not being able to come back. Well, yes, I had to break the news somehow.
Starting point is 00:40:29 And I was going, as I said, I was going through the rulebook, and it's there. And I've not wanted to break rules. So that's just the way it's going to have to be. Plus, I think we're going to change another rule, too, now that we're on it, now that I'm talking about it, I think you've, you have highlighted a gaping hole in what's the lie. I've been really nice in giving you all kinds of time to doodle out these questions. and I feel like we're going to put an end to that. We're not giving anybody this whole year-long noodling out session for what's the lie.
Starting point is 00:41:07 It's got to be a time limit. But not today. I'm not changing the rules for you today because I'm a good guy. And I believe that the game should be played as is when you step into the ring. So you ready to go? I'm ready to go. Do you need a tissue to dry your eyes? Are you okay?
Starting point is 00:41:29 No, I'm just thinking I'm appreciative that I get one last chance to do noodle abuse. All right. Four headlines, one not real. What's the lie? Headline number one. Small village in Quebec, Canada,
Starting point is 00:41:43 is on track to be the world's number one tequila supplier. Headline number two. Taylor Swift, themed cruise, set sail from Florida in 2024. Headline number three. Cop pulled gun on fellow officers, who threatened to spoil Top Gun Maverick.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Jury gives him 100 hours of community service and a little bit more. Headline number four, Steam will soon let you hide the porn games you play. Those are your four headlines. Small Village in Quebec, Canada is on track to be the world's number one tequila supplier. Headline number two. Taylor Swift-themed crews set sail from Florida in 2024. Headline number three.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Cop pulled gun on fellow officer who threatened to spoil Top Gun Maverick. Jury gives him 100 hours of community service and a little bit more. Headline number four, Steam will soon let you hide the porn games you play. All right, those are your four headlines. Terry, what is the lie? Okay, I promise not to do... Now, go ahead. Doodle away.
Starting point is 00:42:56 No, noodle away. Take all the time you need. All right, I'll just say anybody could become a tequila empire, so I've got no way of saying whether that one's true or false, and I haven't heard anything about it. I expect Taylor Swift to dominate everything in the near future, including all airlines, SpaceX launches and everything. I wonder about the last two, but I'm going to say,
Starting point is 00:43:26 I expect steam to hide porn. Okay. So that'll be my finalist. Number four. Terry, the fourth time on What's the Lie? You're wrong. What?
Starting point is 00:43:46 Oh, no. That is, I'm so sad. I wanted you to win this fourth time. So bad. It can't be true. Well, thanks for listening to What's the lie. What's the lie?
Starting point is 00:44:01 Is a subsidiary of chewing the fat enterprises. All information is probably accurate at the time of recording. CTF, WTL, MMXXII I. I.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Yeah, there's no there's no small village in Canada that is being a tequila supplier. So, I know, I know it's sad. I figured potato production and everything like that
Starting point is 00:44:28 could have, been used up there. Yeah, I know. I know. It sounds real. It might be real tomorrow. You never know. You don't have a theme account open yet, Ben, do you?
