Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher Be on the lookout in the southern Netherlands or really around the world because of the internet, two portraits. Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom

and Marguerite the second of Denmark. They were Andy Warhol prints and they were stolen from a art gallery in southern Netherlands. Now the thieves were abatched dummy thieves. I guess apparently they did too many drugs. Sometimes you have great thieves. Other times, eh, not so much. So these thieves attempted to steal all four works from a 1985 Warhol series called Raining Queens, which features portraits of the then queens of the

United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Swaziland. It's not Swaziland anymore. In a telephone interview, the head of the museum said in the town of Eisterwick, It was all captured on security cameras. So they used a bomb to get into the building, which was much bigger than needed. And it destroyed the building and destroyed nearby stores as well, or damaged them severely. So they actually, they did that job too well. Then they ran to the car with the artworks and the artworks won't fit of the car. So then they ripped the frames off of the artwork, which means,

they damaged the artwork. It was impossible to get them out on damage. The two of the pieces of art, they left on the streets. So they ended up with the first two that I mentioned. Elizabeth two of the United Kingdom and Marguerite, two of Denmark. So if you see those online or on the black market in southern Netherlands for sale, I'm sure they're damaged now. Good luck.

I don't know what kind of price they're going to be worth now. The other two are just damaged and they were found laying on the streets. So sometimes, sometimes thieves need to maybe not do drugs before they do the crime. And that's just a thought from me. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Well, today's the day. For those of you listening live, it is the 4th of November, 2024.

The International Association of Machinus and Aerospace Workers Union are voting. voting to end their strike against Boeing. It's been seven weeks, and they've rejected three previous offers. I'm not sure how many people are in the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers' Union, because it keeps saying roughly 30,000. Some stories say 33,000. I think 33,000 wins. I guess 33,000 would be roughly 30,000, I guess.

But we're saying that, you know, over 30,000 people are voting on their part of the International Association of Machinas and Aerospace Workers. They endorsed a 38% pay raise. Wow. Pretty sweet. They also believe that they're getting a $12,000 bonus for hourly workers. Okay. Now, the bigger contributions to retirement plans for over four years, that's pretty sweet.

However, I guess, according to the one story, the proposal that they're offering, does not restore pensions, and that's been a sticking point for older employees. Yeah, that would be a big deal. I don't know what the deal is with the pensions and what Boeing did or what the union did with the older pension plans, part of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Union. But I would say that I'm four people having their pensions restored. good luck though with that good luck so we'll see if the strike will end and the new boeing CEO wants it to end

desperately so if it ends they're going to get at least a 38% pay increase and the $12,000 bonus for hourly workers that's not bad and i would guess that Boeing is almost ready to give them anything that they want because they want this strike to end they've got to get business back up and running desperately is FEMA running Spain's disaster relief as well? I mean, they had the big floods in Spain, and now the king and queen showed up to, and along with the prime minister and a regional leader, you know, all the politicians showed up to the town

to see the devastation, and people were unhappy, to say the least. They threw mud at them, they shouted murderers, and they continued to try to do their official. visit. Good luck with that. The security held up umbrellas to try to block as much mud as possible. I mean, the people are wound up because the devastated areas over, you know, the flooding that happened. And if you've seen the footage, it's incredible what happened because of these floodwaters. And they're still angry over why an alert urging residents not to leave home on Tuesday was sent after floodwaters began surging. So the elected of

are being questioned like what is going on and so they decided we need to get out of here and the people were pissed they said that sanchise he's the he's the regional leader i think he should have been here day one with a shovel don't necessarily disagree with that however the king said i'm going to stay and he did he didn't wasn't they advised him to get out of there and he said no i'm going to stay And he talked to people. He met with a guy who wept on his shoulder. He confronted a young man who told him, you've abandoned us, asking why residents have been left on their own

to grapple with the aftermath of the deadly floods. You're four days too late. I mean, the king took it on. He was there and took it on. Now, after, then he addressed the incident that he posted online, and he said one has to understand the anger and frustration of many people given all that they have gone through, as well as the difficulty in understanding how all the mechanisms work when it comes to the emergency operations. Uh-huh. And now, however, the king was

supposed to visit some other heart-hit areas, and those visits have been postponed. Yeah, you did find out there the first time, and you handled it as well as you could, but we're not putting you in that situation anymore. No way. And the people are all wound up. I mean, the one town, There's 33,000 residents. They are busy trying to dig out of this, the flooding. And the number of people missing remains even unknown. They didn't even know how many people are missing, what's buried, the devastation is horrific. And they even went on to say that they don't even know what they're going to find.

I mean, the one part of the one town has a lower level in the town that's still underwater. So they didn't even know what they're going to find. you know instead well the one quote was we want to be cautious yes uh it might be heartbreaking yes it's going to be and then in another city they described the situation as desperate because the town's ravine overflowed unleashing the deluge of water that wreaked havoc on 29,000 inhabitants it's impossible because there are bodies there are vehicles with bodies and these have to be removed yeah uh no chem is terrible the footage that's coming out of there.

So I just asked the question in the beginning, telling you this story. I wondered if FEMA is in charge of the Spanish recovery process because it sure sounds like it. I mean, it's just an example of government bureaucracy run amok just like many countries around the world. I mean, they're calling for resignations of the prime minister and the regional leader.

Will it happen? Who knows? maybe the people are angry yeah i mean the it's horrible what happened and they just want to know that someone is there and helping them and again uh the government is like eh you know we're getting here we're getting here and the king shows up four days later and nothing seems to have been done it's a slow and tedious process and the people just want to know that the people they've put in charge are going to be there for them oh uh uh that That's funny. That's funny when you count on government to be there for you.

Walking Dead, Talking Walking Dead will be up with Jason Butchrell and my son Maximus. We did the season finale of Daryl, the book of Carol, which aired yesterday. And we did the final episode of the season finale. And that's up and ready for you to listen to. I appreciate it. Talking Walking Dead

with myself, Jason Butchrell and my son Maximus. And then if you want to be a contestant on What's the Lie? Which happens every Friday here on chewing the fat, you can use that same email address chewing the fat at the blaze.com to say, hey, I want to try my look at what's the lie. And it is just that simple. One of the things that's not simple is buying and selling a home, but it can be made simpler by going to real estate agents I trust. It's real simple.

Real estate agents I trust pairs you with the top selling real estate agent in your area, someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer, someone you can trust. So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home or both, get in touch with them, you'll see exactly what I mean.

Now, the name pretty much says it all, real estate agents I trust, and it's also a free service that we provide. I mean, look, it's a complicated process. It takes a lot of time, a lot of jumping through hoops, and of course, the stakes are pretty high

because you want to buy low and sell high, or you want to sell high and then buy low. Yeah, that's what you need. That's why you need a good real estate agent. And you need someone who's going to help you through all this, and you just don't want some run-of-the-mill real estate agent. You want someone who's been clearly vetted and ready to help you through the process. And that's exactly what real estate agents I trust does.

So go to real estate agents. I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust. come. Well, did you go to the theater this weekend? It looks like the numbers are okay. I guess Venom is still number one. Venom, the last dance.

I got another 26.1 million domestically, but that's down 50%. Wow. So it's at 317.1 million global. So that's pretty good, although it did 70.6 million in China, which helps its global performance. Wild Robot number two,

7.55 million. domestically. And that's available on video on demand right now as well. So they're surprised that's still doing well at the theater. Smile 2 took in another 6.8 million.

That's 109 global, 52.6 domestic. That really isn't that good. Conclave is number four. I really do want to see this movie. 5.3 million domestic. Ooh, down 20%. 15.2 million domestic. total.

Okay. I don't know. I was hoping for better numbers for that movie because it looks really good. And then here, with Hanks. Yeah. And Robin Wright, not real good. $5 million global. Wow.

Stumble, they say here, the Zemeckas-Hanks reunion stumbles with poor reviews. Wow. $50 million budget for that movie. Maybe we're done with Robin Wright. I won't blame Tom yet. But Robin, I can blame it on her. We live in Time, Terrifier 3, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, still hanging in there.

They've got 292.9 million domestic total for Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. On Nora, 1.89 million. I'm not real sure what that movie is about. Okay, well, I'll just give you a quick rundown of the plot. it's about a young stripper living in Brighton Beach a Russian-speaking neighborhood in Brooklyn, although she's good at her job. It's a romantic comedy drama film.

And it follows a beleaguered marriage of Brooklyn stripper Anora and the son of a Russian oligarch. Boy, that sounds good. A movie like that has never been done before. So I'm sure it'll do better next week. Absolution is in 10th place with 1.4.2. million. That's

Liam Neeson's latest action film. Yeah. That's going to be struggling because Liam Neeson is struggling. And he's already come out and said he doesn't want to do these action movies anymore. Good. Go away. And then I see where the indie films are crying in their milk. So they

claim that they have a study from former Sundance CEO, Kerry Putnam that shows while just 36.7 million Americans currently watch indie films. The potential audience is nearly double that. Well, yeah, the potential audience is a lot more than double. Just make a good film.

Anyway, they say that these 77 million people would actually pay for a dedicated indie stream service. The 118-page Harvard Kennedy School Deep Dive, backed by Nielsen and Perrault Analytics, love them. Shows how badly streaming platforms are failing indie content. Viewership has plummeted from 30 million. 2020 to 18 million in 2022, mainly not because of content, but because major platforms, algorithms bury Indies under mainstream hits, and there's no centralized way to discover these films, coupled with a severe lack of viewership data that makes it impossible to track performance. The indie market is operating blind yet could potentially double the right distribution strategy

with the right distribution strategy. Putnam's pushing to combine platforms like Criterion and to Mooby into one mega indie streaming service, plus creating a trade organization where platforms could safely share anonymous viewing stats. The findings offer a potential lifeline for ending films, indie films which have struggled since theatrical releases peaked. Okay, so they're just looking, that's what we need is another streaming service

that I have to pay money for to watch indie films that I may or may not like. I'm all for the indie films. I'll 100%, but I don't know that I need. I'm with you on the algorithms. Let's push it out. Maybe you need a better social media way to promote indie films. I'm willing to talk to you, though.

Email me towing the fat of the blaze.com. We could sit down and we'll figure something out. And look, they all want better data on who's watching their content. Even Nielsen, I mean, they're the TV and radio's longtime measurement authority. They've been guesstimating TV viewership by tracking a handful of households while streaming platforms have been sitting on a gold mine of precise viewer data. I mean, the platforms all know who's watching what and how long they're staying on their platforms. So now Nielsen has received approval to mesh these two worlds together, combining the traditional

sampling with streamers' exact numbers for a more complete picture. Early results show why it matters when they tested this hybrid approach on Amazon's Thursday night football. You know what? We missed about a million viewers. Oh, geez, I wonder how that happened. So a measurement firm video amp, which has been tracking streaming audiences more aggressively

in an increasingly fragmented media landscape. Yeah, I mean, everybody wants a piece of the pot. Networks are demanding a more comprehensive viewer data, and yeah, they want to shop around for it. Whoever can give them the best data, that's what they'll get. I'm sure that that data won't be shared, though. I mean, there's no way that that data can be shared with anyone. Can it? Oh, wait. Yeah, there's a big news story about Paramount, who's facing a class action lawsuit,

alleging that they shared subscribers viewing data with meta and TikTok without consent. But don't worry about it. Don't worry about it at all. Oh, and speaking to TikTok, though, congratulations to co-founder Zhang Yeming. He's now the richest person in China worth nearly $50 billion. So congratulations to the TikTok. co-founder. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Tomorrow is the day. I mentioned that today is the 4th of November 2024. Tomorrow is Election Day.

Some of the headlines from this past weekend, I mean, Vice Presidential candidate under Kamala Harris, Tim Walls, said that he called Elon Musk gay. Yeah, the guy that has 12 kids. He's gay. Okay. All right, you got it. Tim. John Oliver from HBO. and his stupid show, whatever it is,

John Oliver last tonight, or what is the name of his stupid show? Oh, yeah, last week tonight with John Oliver. I mean, he's been a citizen for a whole five years, and he fought back tears, talking about urging his viewers to vote for Kamala Harris. So, John, take it easy. Is that, you have probably 50 writers on your show, and he even quoted Lee Greenwood.

Okay, yeah, that's right, John. You go ahead and quote Lee Greenwood, for sure. I think one of my favorite stories from this past weekend is the people in Massachusetts were getting postcards in the mail saying that they were going to have to accept migrant families to their home. And the only reason they were getting the postcards was because they had a Kamala Harris for president sign in their yard. That is hilarious. I don't know who did it. I still think it's really, really funny. If you have a Harris sign or a Walls Harris sign in your yard, you should get a postcard.

Saying you have to house a migrant. and family. I know it's mean. I get it, but still, it's funny. Reminders, you're going to want to be where the action is, and that's on Blaze TV.

Now, just remember that one of the people that you could vote for, they've tried to kill at least two times before this election. So that might tell you something. Yeah. And then the husband of the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party,

Doug Emoff, said something that is very truthful this weekend as he was out campaigning for his wife. I don't know if the, I don't know if the nanny was with him or not. Oh, that's over? They're not together anymore? Yeah, okay. He said something that I think we all know is 100% true. Kamala did what Kamala always does. She just put her head down and she went to work.

Amen. I think that's exactly how Kamala got to where she is today. She just put her head down and went to work. BlazeElection.com slash jeffy.

Product availability varies by region. See app for details. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin very sadly. Again, I know everyone who is in Who Die Today. It's sad. But this is in particularly sad. Quincy Jones, the legendary Quincy Jones dead at the age of 91.

Now, he posted on his Instagram account, did he, a couple of days ago, wishing his daughter a happy birthday. But, you know, I'm sure that's part of what his do people do. But that was his daughter's 58th birthday on Friday, November 1st. And it was a sweet message from Daddy saying how much he loved her and all of that. I mean, he, Jones shared Martina and son Quincy 3, 55, with his second wife, Ola Anderson. He also shared a daughter, Jolie, 71, with his first wife. Jerry Caldwell, daughter Rachel 61 with ex-girlfriend Carrie Reynolds, Carol Reynolds, daughters Kidada, 50, and actress Rashida 48,

with third wife Peggy Lipton and daughter Kenya 31 with ex-girlfriend Natasha Kinski. My man, Quincy Jones, took care a little bit of his life. No question about that. Hey, he's Quincy Jones, man. He worked with all the greats. You know, I mean, seriously, over the years he worked with all the greats. It's incredible. The artist that he worked with and created you know, monsters.

And I mean, really, he did the Michael Jackson thing. He worked with them. I mean, you'd go around the world and hear all the Michael Jackson stuff. That was because of Quincy Jones. I know it was Michael Jackson, but Quincy was right there as well. Rest in peace. We don't know the cause of death. The one story said, we don't know the cause

of death. He passed away peacefully at his Bellar home in the evening, according to his publicist, who confirmed. that the family was all around and he was 91 years of age. It talked about how he had a aneurism in, I don't know, back in 1974 or whatever.

Okay, that was in 74. It's a number of years ago. So I think the aneurism that he had in 74 was probably healed. I don't know that, though. Could have been an issue. So Quincy Jones dead at the age of 91. Then we have Alan Richens.

Alan Rachens, R-A-C-H-I-N-S, Alan Rachens. You are going to look at his picture and go, Oh, yeah, him! He died in his sleep of heart failure at the age of 82, rest and peace. He was a big NBC hit legal drama star of L.A. Law. He also was in a lot of Broadway productions, and he was also in Dharma and Greg. And you would know, I mean, he was in show girls in Rosoli,

at Isles and you would know him. If you saw his face, you'd go, oh yeah, him. Alan Ratchin's dead at the age of 82. Then we have an update on the first person who died in the Sarko Suicide Pod. Now, remember we talked about her, the 64-year-old American woman, died in September in a secluded forest area near a cabin, and it was a sparsely populated region of Switzerland, close to the German border and it was the first documented case

of a woman using the Sarko suicide pot in Switzerland well not so fast an autopsy reportedly found strangulation marks on her neck if you have strangulation marks on your neck that's not suicide

so apparently they believe that there was some sort of equipment malfunction possibly and then she was, you know, strangled by whoever was there to help her. They say that they have documented proof that the internal button, which releases nitrogen gas,

causing them to fall asleep and then die peacefully within minutes due to oxygen deprivation, they say that the top was open and closed several times before it was turned on. so I guess that was to verify the seal all right which further fueled the suspicion so I don't know two surveillance cameras one inside the pod focused on the control button another mounted

on a nearby tree they were motion activated so I mean we've got to see what happened around that right they have to know already and it was I believe they have one person arrested or I'm sorry I believe they have one person, you know, detained. Yeah, it's the doctor, Dr. Florian Willett, who is president of the last resort. I guess that was the only person present at the time of her death.

And like I said, they remain in custody. We haven't arrested you yet, but you're not going anywhere either. So we'll see. There were some strange things around this lady's death as well. The alarm went off. and then that they, which prompted Dr. Willett, who was on call for Dr. Nitchke, who was, you know, one of the co-founders of the suicide pod,

and saying that she was still alive, the alarm ceased after some time. And after about 30 minutes or so, Dr. Willett said, yeah, she really looks dead. So I guess she's dead. So we'll see what happens if the suicide pod was actually a murder pod or not. And it could have been, you get someone for assisted suicide? I mean, that's better than murder, but we'll see what happened.

Then we have actor James Vanderbeek, James Vanderbeek. You know him, you love him. He's another one that when you see him, you'll go, oh yeah, James Vanderbeek. He was, you know him from Dawson's Creek, and he's been on some other stuff too. He just announced that he has colorectal cancer. I want to be clear. I do not wish that on anyone. Sorry about it.

I do not wish colorectal cancer on anyone. And the headline is there's reason for optimism. I don't know. I don't think that there is. Because I think once you get that you're kind of done for, but he's still alive so far and he's dealing with the diagnosis and he's taking steps to resolve it is what he said with the support of his incredible family.

So you'll look at him and you'll go, oh yeah, him. Well, James is really sick and we wish him all the best with his colorectal cancer. And we can't do the segment of Who Die Today without mentioning Peanut the Squirrel. I said on our Saturday morning live show,

the show that Brad Stags and myself do every Saturday, Saturday morning live. You can catch it on my ex account at Jeffrey JFR. And there are other links as well, Brad's ex account, and there's some website and whatever. Just watch it on my ex account at Jeffy JFR, Saturday morning live. But I said on that show

that if I have to hear about Peanut one more time, and that it's never been an onslaught of Peanut's stories forever. They're just not letting it go. So Peanut, you know, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok star, along with Fred the Raccoon,

who, by the way, if I'm Fred the Raccoon and fed the raccoon's family, I'm pissed because Peanut is getting all the love. But Fred was euthanized as well. They were both killed being tested for rabies because the Department of Environmental Conservation was called in for possible rabies. And it was just an anonymous tip.

And they just break, come in. We heard from the family how they came in and locked down the place and searched everywhere. And then when they tried to get the squirrel, it bit one of the people trying to check it out. Well, yeah, that's what animals would do. And so we'll see. They just came in and took this guy's squirrel and his raccoon away, and then they killed it because they can. And it's the Department of Environmental Conservation in New York.

And it's just that they were swatted. They were animal swatted. And that's what happens. They just come break down your door because of some anonymous tip. And I mean, all you've got to do is watch the social media sites. You can see the stupid squirrel and a stupid raccoon. And they had their rescuels. ranch there.

The guy was, you know, carrying around his stupid squirrel forever. And I thought, I thought on Saturday, we're not going to hear any more about this. Wrong. I mean, they rescued Peanut after his mother was killed

by a car, by an automobile. I don't know if it was their automobile or not. I'm guessing not. But then because of Peanut, they founded the Freedom Farm, and it was an animal sanctuary and rescue operation. So now they've just turned Peanut into a martyr. The Department of Environmental Conservation said multiple anonymous complaints.

Really? I'd like to see those multiple anonymous complaints about the squirrel and the raccoon at the Freedom Farm. But rest in peace to Peanut, who was seven years of age. All the stories talk about Fred the raccoon, but no one. says how old Fred was. Maybe they didn't know. Maybe Fred was one of those raccoons that just didn't like to give his age.

I mean, they tried to release peanut years ago and he wouldn't go. He said, no, I want to stay. I'm staying with you. And so that's what they have. But, you know, to let these government officials just come in on anonymous, anonymous tips

and treat you like a criminal because you might have an animal that has rabies is ridiculous. And I know it's new. York and I know it's the Department of Environmental Conservation, but that has got to stop. I mean, to have a, to have someone be animal swatted over a squirrel, stop it.

R-I-O-U-X, Oliver Riu. Yeah, like I said, Oliver Riu, is that right? Ryuu. Yeah, that's all you're right. He's a seven-foot-nine freshman at the University of Florida, so that's someone you could look out for during basketball season. I mean, we are smack dab in the middle of college football. We've got the NFL, and we're not too concerned.

concerned about college basketball. I do love this review of this of this week, this past week in college football. I don't know who wrote it, but it's someone who it's someone who's really, really old, okay, because no one says this anymore. No one says the way this is written. This is the article, season in review. We are deep into the college football season. and Week 10 proved there was still plenty of excitement to be seen between bitter rivals and championship contenders. Ohio State won a spirited game against Penn State by showcasing its defense. South Carolina defeated Texas A&M and Miami conquered Duke, rewriting predictions about how the rest of the season will play out.

Losses by Iowa State and Pitt means there are only five NCAA Division I.FBS teams, Oregon, BYU, Miami, Army, and Indiana still undefeated. This actually might be AI instead of an old person because no one. I'm sorry. It was a spirited game. No, it was.

It definitely was. It was a good game. And Ohio State beat Penn State. I got it. But no one calls it spirited. Stop it. All right, I got an email from John sent to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com.

Oh, no, this is from Jesse. John has one of the jokes of the day. This email is from Jesse who asks, hey, what is your opinion of tasty cakes? Being from Eastern South Central PA, Eastern South Central PA, they were a mainstay in my life with the butterscotch crimpets taking up most of my taste buds.

You being a big fellow, big guy, a fellow big guy, and food lover, I'm sure you've had these. You probably agree. Please don't tell me you're a hostess guy, Okay, well, first I will just say I am more than well aware of tasty cakes. And I'm more than well aware of the butterscotch crumpets tasty cakes and all the other flavors as well. My wife, being from Eastern South Central PA, they were a mainstay in her life as well.

And she loves them. In fact, she has an inside person with the tasty cakes and they send them to her. I shouldn't say anything. And then I am more of a hostess guy rather than tasty cakes, but I'm not turning down tasty cakes, but hostess, I mean, come on now. Hostess is the way to go, right, Jesse? No? No, you disagree?

Okay. All right, and then I've got a joke with a couple of jokes of the day. In fact, we've got to do two today, one from John and one from Ian, all right? So this joke is post-Hallowing. I want to get it in because we're, you know, we're just a couple of days. a few days away from Halloween, so I might as well get this one in, you know, as we're still kind of close to Halloween.

Although with the time change and the election, we've completely forgotten about Halloween. Some people are already decorating for Christmas, but we still, you know, Halloween just happened. So what do you get when you boil a funny bone? I don't know. What do you get when you boil a funny bone? You get laughing stock.

Get it because it's a, bone and it's a funny bone and it's laughing. Yeah, you get it. Okay. And this joke comes from Ian. A guy walks into the bar. He spots an attractive Middle Easter woman in a corner and he says hello. That's what he's thinking to himself.

Hello. And he approaches her and they instantly hit it off. The guy is smitten and says hey, can we get together on Tuesday? She says, sorry I am but I'm involved in some jihad stuff that night. Remember she's a Middle Eastern woman and I guess

according to this joke every middle eastern woman would be involved in some jihad stuff on some night but especially on this tuesday when this guy wants to get together he smiles and says well what are you doing on monday see because he wanted to want to want to you know hook up no matter what and uh that's why he said hey what about money you know speaking to people already decorating for christmas once again it's time do you know that it has been 30 years years, 30 years, 30 years, since all I want for Christmas is you came out, 30 years. And we have been, it's been declared by Mariah Carey that it's time for Christmas. And she posted on her Instagram with the caption, It's Time, courtesy of K Jewelers, hashtag K partner, diamonds, courtesy of K Jewelers.

So she posted it. They produced a whole video of her looking like the, uh, the Adams family and the Adams family right yeah and they're dancing around in the old house like the Adams family with the spooky stuff and it's Mariah playing playing what's her face morticia and then they finally break out and she says it's time in her you know she's screeching and breaking crystals and then it breaks into all I want for Christmas is you Motisha. Who's playing the... Who's playing hubby?

And Gomez. Christmas time. There's a Christmas... Gomez turning into a tree and a snowman. Wear those diamonds from K. Jewelers. Yeah, okay. Well, it's a K. Jewelers commercial is really what it is. What is time?

According to Marite. I love that stupid song. It is just a K-Jueler's commercial. Good for her for milking this damn song for 30 years.
