Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Every year, the librarian of Congress picks 25 movies to add to the National Film Registry. And, you know, they range from, I don't know, blockbusters to obscure collections and interesting historical footage. You know, musical, silent films, sports documentaries, stuff like that. So this year, the list includes two holiday classics.
Starting point is 00:01:01 One, the nightmare before Christmas, and Home Alone. It's been, what, 33 years since Home Alone was released. And, of course, you know, we talked about the inflation for the things that Kevin gets at the grocery store when he picked up the gallon of milk and the orange juice and the TV dinner and the One Dear Bread. and the frozen mac and cheese and the liquid detergent the saran wrap of bag of toy stoogers snuggle dryer sheets and toilet paper and he used a dollar off coupon and it still cost him under 20 dollars and that was you know 33 years ago and now uh and i think we talked about it it's now you know almost well 54 dollars 55 dollars something like that uh just incredible uh the inflation but i was looking at some of the other uh well some of the
Starting point is 00:01:55 other things that happened during the movie that you think wow that was actually uh part of the movie like uh candy's role john candy's role in the movie was pretty much all improv uh and mcculley calkin uh his scream where he puts uh after shave lotion on or after shave cream on and uh he screams because it burns his face yeah he was only supposed to pat his pat his face. And of course, then he patted his face, left his hands on his face, and screamed. Left in the movie and one of the most classic scenes ever from the movie.
Starting point is 00:02:35 And I guess Catherine O'Hara, his mother, who played in the film, they still have a great relationship, McCauley Calkin and her. And I forgot that the cousin in the movie, that's Calkin's real-life brother. So pretty good. It's interesting that it's that long ago.
Starting point is 00:02:55 And I love watching that movie and we'll definitely watch it again here as we head into the holidays. If you're listening live, today is the 21st of December, 2023. And this will be the final chewing the fat of 2023. I know, I know. Dry your eyes. I was looking at the list of the films that went in this year. And, I mean, there are 875 films in. the National Film Registry now. They started back in 1988. But the films that went in this year,
Starting point is 00:03:29 a movie trip through Filmland, 1921, dinner at eight, 1933. The Mulano family film collection, I bet you that's great from the 50s and the 70s. Helen Keller, in her story, write your own jokes. Lady of the Tramp from 55, Edge of the City, 57, We're Alive from 74, cruising J-Town from 1975. The Alambrista from 1977, passing through 77. Fame, classic, 1980. Desperately seeking Susan, another classic from 1985. The Lighted Field, 87. Maitouan, from 87, Home Alone, as we said, 1990. Queen of Diamonds, 1991, Terminator 2, Judgment Day. From 1991, Nightmare Before Christmas, as we said, from 93. The Wedding Bank, 1993.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Amaya Lynn, a strong, clear vision from 94. Apollo 13 from 95. Bamboozled from 2000. Love and Basketball from 2000. Twelve years a slave, which is a great movie. And that was made in 2013. And 20 feet from stardom in 2013. Those are your 25 that went into the national film
Starting point is 00:04:51 a registry this year. And the 800, there's 875 of them, as I said. And I've gone through them and looked at them. I didn't see the godfather in there, which is amazing. I've got to look at this list again and make sure I had that right. But there were some movies that should be
Starting point is 00:05:07 in the national film registry that aren't. But they need help. They can call me or you can just, you know, email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I'm willing. I'm willing to help. put movies that need to be in the National Film Registry. I'm here for you.
Starting point is 00:05:27 I'm here for you. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So I actually laughed out loud. I'm laughing out loud again, telling you the story. In Brazil, they have now started using geese to be prison guards. they waddle around the perimeter of the prison in Brazil's southern state of Santa Carina
Starting point is 00:05:59 the geese have edged out their canine predecessors on patrols to make sure inmates do not escape so they're dubbed geese agents and they patrol a green space between the prison's inside fence and the main outer wall The staff, of course, say, then I say, of course, because what else are they going to say, that the vigilance of the geese make them an excellent guard animals,
Starting point is 00:06:31 even more, the dogs. Uh-huh. We have electronic surveillance, in-person surveillance, and finally, finally, the surveillance of the geese, which replaced the dogs. Okay, so I guess if you try to sneak by the old geese, Prison break, prison break. Prison break, prison break.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Oh, no, oh no, oh no. So I apparently, and here's why they're doing it. Okay, buried in the story, the flock of geese is more affordable than raising dogs. Uh-huh. Nighttime is very quiet. Even during the day, as you walk around, it's quiet. But, uh, don't even try anything.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Because if you try to walk through that green space, you get the old honking geese, and the guards will come a-running. So coming to a prison fencing surveillance space near you soon. The geese agents. That's scary. It's scary if you're a prisoner. So are we taking it down? Are we leaving it up?
Starting point is 00:07:59 Are we taking it down? I thought we were done. taking down statues, but apparently not. Apparently not. The Confederate Memorial or the Reconciliation Monument is at the heart of this legal battle now as at the Arlington National Cemetery. And they wanted to take it down. And then they had a court case that said, no, you can't take it down.
Starting point is 00:08:28 And now I guess a federal judge has said, yeah, go ahead, take it down. down. Well, and they're not necessarily just taking it down there, removing it from the Arlington National Cemetery in Northern Virginia, and they're going to send it to
Starting point is 00:08:45 the new market battlefield state historical park in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. It's a monster monument. I don't know how they're going to move it without damaging some stuff. It's going to be pretty
Starting point is 00:09:01 you know, it's got to cost a fortune to try to move this thing. Apparently, safety fencing has been installed around the memorial, and officials anticipate completing the removal in the next couple of days. During the removal, graves and headstones will be protected. Will they? Will the monument be protected? I don't know. It's really weird.
Starting point is 00:09:23 The monument itself, you know, is claimed to be some kind of racist monument, but it actually features it. A bronze woman, crowned with olive leaves, standing on a 32-foot pedestal, was designed to represent the American South. And according to Arlington, the woman holds a laurel wreath, a plow stock, and a pruning hook with a biblical inscription at her feet that says, they have beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Some figures, some people believe that, yeah, it's... The reconciliation monument is, well, it's a mythelized vision of the Confederacy, including highly sanitized depictions of slavery. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Two of the 32 life-sized figures are depictions of African Americans. One is an enslaved woman depicted as the stereotype of a mamie holding an infant of a white officer, while the other is an enslaved man following his owner to war. the cemetery said the inscription on the monument the victorious cause was pleasing to the gods but lost to Cato portrays the south succession as a noble lost cause and so we can't have that and if we take this statue down
Starting point is 00:10:43 or move it to their special new site there at the New Market Battlefield State Historical Park everything will be fine don't worry about it racism will be gone and it will be fine Don't forget this started, I don't know, a year or two ago or four years ago during the riots or whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:07 They had an independent commission that recommended that the memorial be taken down as part of its final report to Congress on renaming all of the military bases and assets that commemorate the Confederacy. And so we can't have that. We cannot be reminded of our history. Okay. So why don't you just shut up? And I don't even want to hear it, talking about the, you can tell the life of a nation. Nations that are on the upward movement are building monuments and nations that are on the downward movement are tearing down monuments. So, why don't you just shut up?
Starting point is 00:11:47 Okay. I mean, there is good news coming from the government. The IRS said that it's going to waive penalty fees for people who failed to pay their back taxes that total less than $100,000. a year for the tax years 2020 and 2021. So nearly 5 million people, businesses and tax-exempt organizations, most making under $400,000 a year, will be eligible for the relief starting this week, which, according to the IRS, totals about a billion dollars. Now, according to this story, they temporarily suspended mailing automated reminders to pay overdue tax bills during the pandemic, beginning in February 2020. The agency's
Starting point is 00:12:28 leadership says the pause and automated, automated reminders is a reason behind the decision to forgive the failure to pay penalties. So that you weren't reminded, how could you remember to pay? And they're going to go ahead and, uh, I'm going to waive those penalty fees. We're going to waive the penalty fees. Uh, they're not going to waive the taxes. So it's good news. Like I said, good news from the government. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Okay, so for those of you that are thinking about taking care of, you know, a little holiday Christmas bidness, be careful. Men are being warned against engaging in energetic Christmas romps because the chances of suffering a painful penile fracture dramatically rise during the holiday week.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Okay. So now this is a German study. They studied three, three, 421 German men between 2005 and 2021. And they found that the chances of sustaining the painful groin injury rose significantly between December 24th and December 26th. So maybe, maybe say, hey, hold up on the business between the 24th and the 26th. And maybe not. Maybe you figure, you know what, I can take a shot if you know what I'm saying. 43% more penile fractures have occurred in Germany.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Remember, this is a German study, from 2005 on. Men aiming to be more exploratory in the bedroom should delay their lovemaking until New Year's Eve, according to the study. As by then, I guess there's a significant reduction in the risk of fractures. There were only 28 cases recorded during that 16-year period. Now, according to the research leader, Dr. Nicholas Pygrains, P-Y-R-G-I-D-E-S, a urologist at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, and I love the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. He said that the fractures, the penile fractures, usually occur during wild sex. And he had the risk of injury increases, especially in positions where you're not indirectly direct eye contact with your partner.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Then he used an example of such as the reverse cowgirl. So maybe you slow down on the old friskiness and take care of yourself while you're getting ready for a little business. Okay. So just be careful out there. It goes on to say the victims of the injury could usually identify. Yeah, I would say so. I think we have talked about the injury before of this program.
Starting point is 00:15:34 It's a fracture, and you will hear it as an audible crack, followed by pain and losing your full readiness quickly. Also, the man part looks like an eggplant after the injury occurs, and I want to be clear, I do not wish that on anyone. The injury typically requires a hospital stay and a surgery in about 25% of the cases, who also causes urethral injuries affecting the man's ability to urinate. That does not sound good at all. The average age of the injury was 42 in this study.
Starting point is 00:16:19 So, hey, just be careful out there. You do not want a penile fracture. So I see where Warner Brothers, Discovery, and Paramount are in talks for potential global merger. The combined valuation of the media giants is over $38 billion. I don't know if I'm all for that or not. But it's probably, you know, going to happen. I see where Warner Brothers, Discovery CEO David Zanzlov, reportedly met with, with Paramount Global CEO Bob Backish to discuss the potential deal.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Zazlap is also said to have spoken to Paramount Chair Sherry Redstone, who's eager to sell the company. Yeah, I mean, they have some serious debt. So they're looking forward to making a deal, and it's going to be coming at you very, very soon. Go ahead, whatever, just who cares about any of the antitrust regulators, any of that stuff. Move on.
Starting point is 00:17:23 It's going to happen. It's going to happen. I also see where Byron Allen, the media mogul, has offered to buy BET Media from Paramount for $3.5 billion. So that's probably going to happen. If they're looking to download some debt and they need some cash, that is probably going to happen. So Byron Allen looks like he's going to be the new head dog at BET Media Group. Be sure to follow me on my social media's X at Jeffrey JFR.

It is the shortest day of the year. I know. Plus, today is winter, right? We begin winter. At, I don't know, sometime. Sometime today, it's winter.

Starting point is 00:20:09 1027 Eastern. It's not winter until that clock strikes. It's like turning your clocks back. It happens at two. That's it. Okay. All right. So the December solstice.

Starting point is 00:21:05 Who died today? Who died today? Herman Rush, Herman Rush, TV producer and Hollywood Executive, dead at the age of 94. He produced, I don't know, all kinds of television shows and served as President of Columbia Pictures Television. He, uh, born in Philly. He also created Cats Rush Entertainment with Raymond Cats
Starting point is 00:21:32 and the company produced all kinds of, uh, All kinds of shows. You may have seen the Cats Rush Entertainment logo. One of the shows that's listed here that he helped create The Susan Powder Show. I don't know if you remember Susan Powder, but I most definitely do. So anyway, it's not a surprise that he actually died because, well, he was nice. Don't look at me like that. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:58 He died of natural causes. If he died of that, they would have said something. Okay. But I know that he was 94. But as you're reading about the story, his wife, he has two children, but his wife that he was married to for 72 years died in October. Very sad. So, I mean, it's not surprising that he did not stay with us much longer after his wife died. They were married for 72 years.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Credible. Rest in peace. Herman Rush. Dead. the age of 94. I see where we had a breakthrough on Ebola, too. Researchers have discovered a new method that Ebola uses to spread inside the body.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Okay, so the virus creates tunnels between cells which evade treatments that may be outside the cell wall. So I don't know what that means. I guess we have to find a way to get our treatment inside the tunnels to kill Ebola before it kills us. We need drillers. We need to drill. It's almost like the documentary Armageddon.
Starting point is 00:23:15 We need to get inside and destroy it inside of the tunnels before it destroys us. If you're looking for a new place, you can probably pick up the Kanye West Beachfront, Malibu, California mansion for at least $4 million under what he paid for it. Now, he is selling it for $53 million. I'm saying you could get it for a lot less. No problem. He needs the cash. There's no way that it's worth $53 million.
Starting point is 00:23:46 He spent $57 million on it a couple of years ago. Then gutted the structure. I mean, it's just a gutted structure now. It's beautiful. It's on the beach. It was made by some designer signature. And it's got his concrete walls and everything. It's 4,000 square feet, 1,500 square feet of outdoor living area,
Starting point is 00:24:14 12 tons of concrete, 200 tons of steel reinforcement, 12 massive pylons driven more than 60 feet into the sand. Natural light is used creatively throughout the space, another signature of undo, to manipulate a warm feeling throughout the building and harmonize with its natural surroundings. roundings. Oh, okay. Yay, removed all the windows and
Starting point is 00:24:40 electricity from the home in an attempt to transform the space into a bomb shelter. When he had a bunch of cash coming in, that made sense. Now, he has like no money. And, uh, well, he doesn't have as much money as he had before. He needs, uh, he may be a little cash poor.
Starting point is 00:25:02 So he's looking, uh, you know, awful. load the property. So good luck. I mean, you got nothing in it. And you're still going to pay $53 million? I feel like no. I feel like no. I know Kim, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:21 the ex, just bought a $70 million dump on Malibu. But, you know, Kanye bought this place a couple years ago. and he was thinking he was all cool for 57 million. So anyway, you could probably, it looks beautiful. I mean, if I had the money, if I had your money, you know, I'd get it. But definitely, if you have the money, there's no way you spend $53 million on that place.
Starting point is 00:25:51 You come in to Kanye and say, I'll give you $40 million. And then I'm going to move in and, you know, bring in all the contractors. And, you know, I'd like my lights and, you know, air conditioning back on. I know the old Japanese architect, Tadal Ando, is a unique home architecture, architecture genius or whatever you want to call them.
Starting point is 00:26:22 But I'm just saying that we need a little bit more than just that natural light to be used creatively, creatively, throughout the space. Am I right? Ando, am I right? Yeah, I am. Okay, so I'm reading an article about Al Michaels and Al Michaels, the sports broadcaster, legendary sports broadcaster, who's 79 now. And he broadcasts for Amazon Prime, the Thursday night games. And so he was also had a deal with NBC where he was going to be broadcasting some of the wild card games and the playoff games, which NBC said, no, we're not doing that this year.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Your energy isn't quite... I'm sorry, they used the words, a lack of enthusiasm. So if you watch... I mean, some of the Thursday night games, especially in the first season, because every team had to get a Thursday night game. So not every game was a good game.
Starting point is 00:27:21 This year's been a little bit better. But I will say that, you know, it's a little, the whole thing, the whole Amazon NFL thing is a little weird. And I don't know what it is. something I've talked about it, I think, before. There's something about the audio on the broadcast is not quite right. I don't know, the mix between the crowd and the announcers is just, I don't know, just off.
Starting point is 00:27:46 And I know Al said that, you know, hey, it's fair to compare him to a baseball pitcher, you know, who cannot throw the ball as fast anymore. Well, yeah, but he's still Al Michaels and he's Al Michaels. Hello. So he had a three-year deal with NBC. and then he got his Amazon Prime deal. But really, I want to kind of go on the record as saying, and I don't know if I'm the first,
Starting point is 00:28:09 but let's just go on the record as saying, the whole Al Michael's Kirk Herb Street thing, I know we're not supposed to like it. I know we're supposed to like it. And everybody's happy, happy, happy. And, you know, Al's the guy that did Miracle on Ice and he called all these great NFL games. games and all of that.
Starting point is 00:28:32 And he's a legend. I know he's a legend. I love Al Michaels. In fact, one of my favorite books is the Al Michaels book. And just if you have an opportunity to read it, read it. It's fantastic. But the whole Kirk Herb Street, who is college football, Kirk Herb Street, college football is doing NFL.
Starting point is 00:28:54 So that alone is a little weird. But I'm past that. you know, Kirk can do NFL. I just feel like the relationship between Al and Kirk just isn't. It doesn't feel right. It's something feels off. And I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 00:29:13 I don't know if Al thinks that, you know, Al has lost his fastball and he just doesn't care anymore. I don't know if it's Herbie not quite knowing what kind of role he's supposed to have with Al. I know he says it's getting more comfortable and he loves working with Alan. I'm sure he does. And, you know, I just, it's a really weird dynamic. And I don't know what needs to happen.
Starting point is 00:29:37 I mean, Amazon isn't going to give up the NFL. It's way too much money. Jeff Bezos spent way too much money and he needs to pay for plastic surgery for the soon-to-be wife and the ships and the planes and everything else. And he's trying to, you know, he's whining that his space program isn't up to
Starting point is 00:29:56 snuff next to SpaceX. Yeah, congratulations. Everyone else knew that, Jeff. Anyway, just the whole thing between Al and Kirk Herb Street, something is off and it needs to be fixed. And I, you know, the whole Amazon Prime football experience needs to be adjusted. And listen, if you need my health, I'm here for you. I'm here for you. You know, you can, you can direct message me, you can email me, do whatever you need. I'm here for you. Mr. Bezos? I noticed I called Mr. Bezos and not Jeff. Mr. Bezos, I'm here for you.
Starting point is 00:30:31 So just let me know. I'm happy to help and make it right. But whatever is happening now needs to something needs to be adjusted. And you know, I'm here for you. That's all I'm saying. It's hockey season and you can get anything

I know everybody has their New Year's resolutions that they're doing. I've been listening to holiday music. I can't, first, I'm going to play. I'll come all you faithful from David Osmond and Clyde Bowden.
Starting point is 00:31:51 I mean, I have to. That's a sort of addition on Chewing the Fat is one of my all-time favorite songs done from the Believe Again album that we did about 10. years ago that we Glenn Beck de Blaze did about 10 years ago but as I was listening to some old Christmas stuff like I was I broke out Soul Christmas S-O-U-L Christmas
Starting point is 00:32:14 Backdoor Santa by Clarence Carter the Christmas song by King Curtis Otis Redding's White Christmas I'll make everyday Christmas for my woman Joe T Silver Bells by Booker T T G-Wis It's Christmas by Carla
Starting point is 00:32:28 Thomas Merry Christmas Baby by Otis Redding presents for Christmas by Solomon Burke's. Jingle Bells by Booker T and the MGs. Every Day will be like a holiday by William Bell and what are you doing New Year's Eve by King Cortes. Bechtar Santa by Clarence Carter. I mean, hello. That is just awesome. And that that album was released I think in like 1968, 69, something like that. If you can find it, it's out there. I mean, it's out there. You're going to find it. I'm sure not making the album
Starting point is 00:33:00 anymore, but it's just awesome. And then, you know, we have the, I want a boob job for Christmas with Virginia Kegel. I didn't play that this year, but I probably should, speaking of Jeff Bezos's wife, I probably should for her, because for sure, she's, Virginia Kegel is asking Santa to bring her a boob job for Christmas. Big old knockers out to hear.
Starting point is 00:33:26 One of my favorite songs of all time from Virginia Kegel and it just gets me through the holidays and I understand that I understand the need to ask Santa for a boom job I mean I have to listen to it now
Starting point is 00:33:46 waiting there for me hey Santa there is something I'd like a whole lot better what is it I am Virginia go ahead Come on. Come on.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Take good year on the side. All right. I won't play the whole thing. Well, that's a kind of, I know I'm all over the place. I get it. But the holiday music, I am definitely all over the place. No question. Because I have Virginia.
Starting point is 00:35:13 And, you know, then I have Soul Christmas. And Andy Williams, I mean, a neck and coal. There's just so much out there. that's so good. And what's her face? All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. No, not that. You know, Mariah Carey.
