So what have we been looking for on Wikipedia this past year? Now, the top countries that accessed English Wikipedia overall to date in 2023 of the United States, $33.3.3.2 billion. The United Kingdom, $9 billion. India, $8.48 billion. Canada, $3.95 billion. and Australia, 2.56 billion. What have we been searching for this past year? Well, how about we take a look?

And I find this fascinating because it just shows what we're, you know, looking for. Number one on the list. According to this, with 49,490,406 page views was chat GPT. I'm guilty of that. Number two, deaths in 23. 42 million, over 42 million page views.

I'm sure I'm guilty of that. Number three was the 2023 cricket World Cup at 38,171,671,653 page views. I don't think I looked that up. The Indian Premier League, 32 million, over 32 million page views. I'm pretty sure I didn't look that up.

Number five, Oppenheimer, the film. Yeah, one of those, 28,348,000, 248 page views. Cricket World Cup. Wait, this is a different, so the 2023 Cricket World Cup, and then it drops at number two, and then number six is cricket World Cup, at 25,9661,417 page views. So, I mean, two of the top six are Cricket World Cup. Okay.

Then seven is J. Robert Oppenheimer. Oh, yeah, I mean, if you're looking up. the film, then you want to know about Oppenheimer for sure. Number eight is Jawan, the film. I did not look that up. 21,791,116 page views. In fact, I don't know that I could tell you what Jawan film is. Let's take a look and see what it is, actually. Juwan, a 20, according to Wikipedia, is a Indian Hindi language action thriller, co-written and directed by Atley in his Hindi film debut. Okay, so that's...

And the guy that makes the most money. Shah Rakh Khan was the actor in a dual role as father and son. Okay, that's interesting. So now we can add another page view to number eight. Number eight is the 2023 Indian Premier League. Wait, that's...

Okay, so we had the Indian Premier League at number four. And now we've got the... Indian Premier League, 20-23 Indian Premier League. So it's just a different wording of what the search is. Pathion, the film. I'm pretty sure I did not look that up. In fact, what is Pathion the film?

And it's not really Pathon or Pathion. It's Pathon. P-A-A-A-N. Another Hindi-language action thriller. All right. It also stars Chabric Khan. So he's all over the place. I mean, he's the man.

Number 11, the Last of Us TV series. I may have participated in a page view for that. Number 12, Taylor Swift. I don't know, maybe. I guess counts if I was looking for a birthday or something. 13, Barbie film. I don't think I did, but it's possible that I added a page view is there. Number 14, Cristiano Ronaldo, probably.

You know, I've looked him up for several things about money and stuff. Lionel Messey, 16 million, over 16 million, almost 7. 17 million? Yeah, I probably was part of that. Premier League. Another Premier League at 16 million? Wait a second. Premier League at 16th, 16 million. Then we have the 2023 Indian Premier League page searches. And then we have the Indian Premier League page searches. Okay. So it is. But this is just Premier League. All right. Number 17, Matthew Perry. Yeah, probably. 18, United States. I don't think I looked that up, but I'm pretty well aware of the United States. It's possible, though, that I needed some information. Not sure, though. Elon Musk, maybe a birthday or something, not sure. Avatar, the Way of Water, maybe thinking that it wasn't going to happen. India, 13 million.

I don't think so. Maybe, though. Lisa Marie Presley, yeah, I might have done that to look at, you know, maybe some of her highlights of her life. Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3. Don't think I looked that up. Russian invasion of Ukraine. maybe. And number 25 on the Wikipedia searches, Andrew Tate at 12,728,616 page views. Now, this is all according to the Wikimedia Foundation. Top 25 list was creating using

English Wikipedia data and gone through the end of November. So we still have, you know, the month of December to add to these page views, which I already did by looking up Joanne and Pathon. Interesting that, just interesting to me, what people are searching for. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat.

Okay, so I see, for those of you listening live, today is the 11th of December, 2023. And I see some history remembered on this day, although I guess the Wikipedia rundown could be history,

but that's just, you know, recent history, but almost considered to be ancient history, but not really. Fifty one years ago today, humans visited the moon for the last time. On December 11th, 1972, Apollo 17 marked the final human lunar landing, concluding the Apollo program's sixth mission. Today, it remains the last expedition which astronauts explored the moon's surface. And the first comment that comes up, of course, is, no, they didn't. Now, I would say, you know, I would just ask the question, did they?

But it's just interesting that the first comment that comes up for me in my algorithm, I guess it's just because I follow the person who commented on this Instagram post. No, they didn't So believe what you wish. Just now it's a celebration at NASA for 51 years ago. Humans visiting the moon for the last time. Kind of sad, actually. If you believe that it actually took place,

I would assume that you believe that we should have kept the space program going. We may have been to Mars already if we'd have kept the space program. going. But, you know, we didn't. And so here we are. You know, I find this case interesting because it doesn't make any sense to me in the right way. Last week, a Texas judge okayed a woman's request for an abortion. She is fighting to get an abortion in the state of Texas, where its abortions are banned. And this lady, Kate Fox, the mother of two, who sued this. Who sued this, state for permission to have an abortion after her fetus was diagnosed with a fatal condition. She's 20 weeks pregnant, seeking an exception to the state to ban on abortions after six weeks.

The judge's ruling applies only to Cox. The state could appeal it. Well, they did. And a Texas Supreme Court temporarily blocked a ruling by a lower court that would have allowed the pregnant woman to obtain the emergency abortion. Her unborn baby has some fatal genetic condition. Okay, so I'm reading this. and they are trying to say that she has, it started, she's at 20 weeks is starting to affect her health and she needs the abortion.

Well, my question is, and I get it, okay? So I'm not, let's set aside that, you know, the whole abortion issue in and of itself, okay? Whether it's right or wrong, but in the state of Texas, it's banned. If she needs it for her health, what is stopping her from going to a state where she can get the abortion? Because I'm pretty sure if she drives a few hours west into the next state over, New Mexico,

she could get an abortion. She could pull up and say, hey, here to get an abortion, I'm pretty sure they have drive-through. I don't know if they have drive-through abortions there, but they very well could. she could just drive up after the abortion and head out back home and her health would be no longer in jeopardy but i just i do understand why we're attacking here in the state of texas because we want to go up against the abortion ban but you know why uh it's states rights do what you have to do go if you if you're going to get the abortion go where you can get the abortion if you believe that it's affecting your health and you want to you know get rid of the baby i get it you know i just you know i just

just don't understand, you know, why we're going up against the state. And our attorney general told the hospitals and all the doctors, no. It's not, even if the courts say you can give the abortion, that's not going to absolve you of anything that we could do against you. And your hospital and you could still get all the fines and you could have court cases brought up against you. So he threatens them. Like, no, you're not doing that.

That's incredible. I mean, the war on abortion is a real thing, man. I really, I honestly, I don't understand why if you wanted the abortion, you would just drive to the next date over. Doesn't, that doesn't compute with me. But, you know, I know, it's just me. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink desperately.

So we talked last week about all the new shows, all the FBI's, all the network shows. They're busy filming and advertising that they're going to be available, you know, sometime in early 2024. And I saw a story of the new NCIS, Sydney, that's put out there. And they're talking about how the numbers were pretty good for it. And, you know, the show keeps going. The number's pretty good for it because it's the only new show on network television. and I watched it because I like the NCIS whole thing

and it really isn't that good. But it's a new show and so you continue to watch it. The first episode was like, eh. And the second episode was like, eh. And so, you know, I mean, I watch it. It's just like, eh. But that's why, because we're all just, you know, and I say we all.

Most people are, you know, looking forward to new shows on the network. So you have NCIS Sydney, which is new. But once the regular shows come back, You know, I think NCIS, Sydney will fall by the wayside. I also got really bummed this weekend because I know that Reacher on Prime is coming back next week. I think Friday it drops. And I was all excited. I'm looking forward.

I still am excited. I'm looking forward to it. I loved Season 1 of Reacher on Prime. It was really a fun watch. And I just, you know, I'm excited for season 2. something to watch next weekend and, you know, just something to binge. However, Prime, now, like all the other

Dingleberry platforms, are only going to release three episodes, and then the rest of the episodes will be released weekly before the season concludes on January 19th, 2024. Prime, you've got us all hooked, just like Netflix, and the rest of you, we're just going to drop shows so that we can watch them all, binge them all,

watch them when we want, and now you're just saying, no, we'll give you the first three episodes. You can binge those, and then the rest of them are once a week. That just really irritates me. And I see where our man Timothy Olegant is going to do a role for FX's Alien TV series. He's going to be the enigmatic synth role. It's going to explore the lore of the alien universe on Earth, indicating a potential expansion of the series mythology. He's going to be portrayed as the Igmatic Synthetic Android,

as I said, alongside Sidney Chandler's complex hybrid character, offers a dynamic exploration of the relationship between humans and synthetic beings. So yay! Now, this is FX's Alien TV series. The original post that I saw about this was, for a YouTube show, so not real sure what's happening there. But, you know, I like Timothy Oliphant, and hopefully it'll be worth the watch.

Be sure to follow me on my social media sites at Jeffrey JFR on X. Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and Instagram. You can follow me on my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You can always email the show all the time, anytime, Chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I do see them all.

I don't necessarily respond to them all, but I do see them all chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You can order a cameo from me at Jeffrey JFR on Cameo. That's not free, but you just order the cameo and tell, you know, what you want. Happy, glad, sad, mad mean, whatever you need. And then, you know, I like a dancing, a little monkey, do it. And everybody is happy. You get your video.

I get my money, cameo gets their money, and we all walk away with a smile on our faces. And I told you, I don't know if I told you on this show or if it was my hit with Brad on Mojo 5-0 or maybe one of my chewing the fat segments on Pat Gray on Leashed, but I talked about the Alex Jones interview with Tucker Carlson. It's like an hour and a half, and I haven't listened to the whole thing yet.

I've listened to about an hour of it. It's, you know, of course, Alex Jones. and Tucker Carlson. But I knew as soon as I listened to the, I don't know, the first half hour and Tucker lays out this thing like Alex is some savant, that this was all just a push

to get him back on X. And it worked because Elon reinstated him on X. So, ta-da! We'll see how that works out for everyone involved. I see where Kiss,

did their, I don't know, they had a final show a week or two ago at Madison Square Garden, but they revealed the band, the rock band, Kiss. They revealed that a new kiss era in which the three-dimensional avatars of the members, including Gene Simmons, will go on tour while the humans say goodbye to the face pain. Huh. Okay. So we're just going to be like the Abba Voyage show in London. I mean, that has been incredible.

Everyone that's gone has said, how great. rate it is. They're bringing in like $2 million a week. I mean, they are packing out the Abba Voyage show in London with their, you know, with their avatars, with their digital renderings of themselves. It got me thinking about, you know,

the future of that. What, at what point do bands decide that the digital renderings of themselves are better than themselves? But, I mean, they make them, you know, immortal. I wish, I hope the ACDC does it. That would be awesome.

to see an ACDC show with digital renderings. I mean, they could start with Bon Scott and work up to Brian Johnson, and you still have Angus rocking around. I was just reading a story about Angus Young. The ACDC did a show back in October in California, and then Angus showed up at one of these ACDC bars and gave everybody, you know, pictures and glad hands, and, you know, had a wonderful time.

And it was just, you know, it was really cool. and it got me listening to If You Want Blood because they said they opened the show in California with If You Want Blood, and that's the first time that they had opened a show with If You Want Blood. But what, how great a show would it be with ACDC avatars?

With ACDC being immortal? I mean, holy cow. That would be awesome. I would definitely pay to see that. I mean, I saw ACDC a couple of times. And the first time they were, I mean, on, well, both times were on fire. The second time, they, I saw them do a show. It was kind of like this, you know, a gathering.

I think it was the Toledo Speedway Jam. Not positive about that. I'm sure that doesn't exist anymore. That was like 100 years ago. But the guy who used to put that together, the Toledo Speedway Jam, he used to do business. with the record store I used to band it, so we were, you know, in, in a partnership with him.

Anyway, I just remember going to the show. And, uh, ACDC opened up for ZZ Top. And it was really, that's a strange combination. I know there were, I don't know, there were two or three, four other bands on the lineup as well that day. And so then ACDC came out. And ACDC, I'm sure, and I don't know this,

I just believe it in my, in my heart, that they were pissed, that they had to open up for Zizi Top. And so they came out, and for about an hour and a half, they cranked. And I know that they always crank. If you've ever seen them live,

they come out and they crank. But, I mean, it felt like they cranked even harder for this hour and a half. Because when they were done, you were like, oh, okay, they're over. And then out came Zizi Top and now they ended up, you know, I mean, the show was still good.

But it certainly was a tough transition going from ACDC to ZZ Top. And so there's another band that can probably, you know, make their three-dimensional avatars and make tours around the planet is ZZ Top. And people would go and see them as well. But I really want ACDC to do it. Somebody get Angus on the line, would you? All right. No, he's not there.

He's not accepting calls? Oh, okay. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto. is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun.

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 18665-3-1-2-60 or visitcomex Ontario.ca. Who died today? Who died today? Ryan O'Neill, the actor Ryan O'Neill, has passed away at the age of 82. Now, sure, he had leukemia, where he was diagnosed with leukemia in 2001,

and then in 2012 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. When he was diagnosed with leukemia, that's when Farah Fawcett, the love of his life, moved back in and took care of him. And then she died. Wow. That's incredible. And so he's on this tour for a love story and being reunited.

He talked about how he missed Farah. And they were reunited following his leukemia diagnosis. And then she moved back in. And they stayed together in Malibu until she died. And he still missed her. And then he was on tour with Ali McGraw about the 50th anniversary of love story. He was working on his health. And he felt really good.

And he was reunited with his family. And he said, I think, you know, if the O'Neils can, what was his line? If the, we were able to come together again after so many years of hardship, if the O'Neils can reconcile, truly anything as possible. So this was great, and this was, I don't know, I don't know when this was in the last 10 years that this was going on. So Ryan O'Neill, actor dead at the age of 82. And I will say, just as a side note,

don't look at me like that because, you know, I know he had leukemia and he had prostate cancer. There was no cause of death listed. So, oh, look at me. It doesn't say that. Okay. what you're thinking. Oh, was it? Was it, you know, the leukemia laying low? Was it the prostate cancer laying low? Or was it that? Well, it doesn't say that, does it? It just doesn't list

an actual cause of death. So, stop looking at me like that. Then we have some whata divi. S-O-M-W-A-T-I-D-E-V-I. Who died today? Very sad. That doesn't give an age, but she was having lunch on her terrace. And she was taken to the district hospital. She fell and had injuries on her face and neck. And then the doctors referred her to a higher center. So she died in transit. So she fell and they took her to a doctor.

The doctor was like, yeah, I can't do nothing. She needs to go to another place. And then she died. Well, what caused her to fall is the issue. She was eating food up on their terrace when monkeys tried to snatch her plate. She got scared and ran toward the stairs and lost her balance and fell. So those damn monkeys, that's not funny. I'm not laughing, okay?

I'm not laughing. This is in India. And the monkeys were attacking her on her terrace. You can't even eat outside anymore in the Simrai village. this is just unacceptable. Unacceptable. I mean, humans first, for real. So if you're out on a terrace in India,

perhaps you need to go out locked and loaded. So if the monkeys show up on your terrace, you just and run them off. We must make all animals realize and remember that humans first. That's just the rules. Speaking of rules, I was reminded that last week I'm talking to someone who said they were, a friend of theirs was just discovered this show, Chewing the Fat, and he's a delivery driver,

and he's out driving around listening to Chewing the Fat now. First of all, thank you. Welcome. Happy to have you along for the ride. But if you're a new listener, I want to remind you of the rules. Okay, if you're out delivering things, that means you have a bigger opportunity of people asking you, hey, what are you listening to? so I know that you're out there delivering stuff

and you're not going to be listening to Chewing the Fat 24 hours a day, seven days a week although I'm not opposed to having you do that. However, I get that you're going to be listening to other shows. But as a subscriber to Chewing the Fat, the rules of subscribership, the number one rule that I can think of off the top of my head right now is that when asked what you're listening to,

you must answer chewing the fat. So just a reminder to all new listeners of chewing the fat, especially those of you out delivering things, you know, out in the public, when asked, hey, what do you listen to? You must answer chewing the fat. Now, now I want to talk about, I was reminded this weekend also of this story from 2010, since we're in the Who Died Today segment. This guy didn't die today. He obviously, he didn't die back in 2010 either. He died in, I guess that would make it, 2019, 1980. But we found out about it in 2010. So officials in Tokyo went to congratulate the oldest man in the city,

Sojan Keto, on his 111th birthday. And they were all happy. They were having this in 2010 now. But instead, they found his skeletal remains on his bed. He'd been dead for 30 years. But his family had kept it a secret to continue collecting his pension money. That's outstanding. Now, there's a picture of just a skeleton under the sheets in this bed.

I don't know if that's real or not. I mean, it looks like it's a real skeleton on a bed. I don't know if it's real from this family or not. If it is, I don't know, you know, after 30 years, did they pick the bones clean? Did it just rot? I mean, the sheets look really clean. When did the smell stop? I don't know because bodies,

I don't know if you know this about bodies, but when they die, then they start to smell after a little while. And things start happening to the body. So at some point between his death and that 30-year birthday or 30-year anniversary of his death when they came to celebrate him

being the oldest man in the city, there had to be some serious kind of funk going on. in the old Tokyo apartment, but it doesn't say anything about that. Maybe the original story did back in 2010. I don't know that. But I love the whole thing. We're here to celebrate.

Sogan Kato's 111th birthday. Yeah, his skeletons on the bed in the back room. Did you bring his pension check? Then we have a Who Almost Died Today. I guess that's all of us, really. Who Almost died today? But this one, than more than others.

So Destiny, Lene Johnson, 25, was arrested and charged with three felonies of attempted murder, first-degree arson, and aggravated battery, causing great bodily harm.

That's according to Miami-Dade County Records. So this guy wants to go, you know, he's swiping on Tinder, looking for a late-night hookup in Miami. And he swiped right, which meant he was

going to hook up with old destiny. And after they hooked up at the holiday Inn Express and Suites in Kendall, Florida, that's still Miami-Dade, at 5 a.m. on November 25th, Johnson approached the man's vehicle while carrying what appeared to be a gallon of water. Okay. So the man was still looking to take care of a little business. It swiped right on Tinder after all. Then she said, that she needed money to fix her car. So the man gave her $60 he had on him and said, then she started yelling at the guy,

saying, you guys are out to get me. She then poured the yellow liquid that smelled like gasoline from the jug onto the front passenger seat of the vehicle. That's what the man said. And during the heated encounter, ignitable fluid reportedly spilled on the man, Johnson is accused of igniting the fluid with a lighter, setting fire to the interior of his SUV, his right arm, and herself.

The man said he jumped out of the vehicle, rolled down the asphalt to extinguished the flames burning his body. Good move. The man said he took out his firearm because he was in fear that the woman would attempt to set him on fire again. That's when she ran off.

So then he goes to the desk at the hotel. You know, obviously calls police and he goes to the hospital. And then a little while longer, a few hours later, a 911 was called, made less than a mile away

about a naked woman with burns saying she blew up a vehicle. So then they went and arrested her and took her to the hospital. She claims she was a victim of sex trafficking and she pleaded not guilty to the charges. She has ordered her not to have any contact with the alleged victim

and she was denied bail. If she's denied bail, she can't have contact with the alleged victim because she's in jail. So we'll see. what happens. I'll teach you. Be a little bit of careful

swiping right on the old Tinder, taking care of a little business. I got a little bit too hot on the old Tinder update. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug,

but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. So I guess congratulations are in order for baseball calls Show He Otani. He just signed a new deal to go play for the Los Angeles Dodgers, signing a new contract worth about $700 million.

So they claim in this story that I'm reading that, you know, he gets a, I think the contract is worth a 10-year deal for $700 million. So that's, and I say this half jokingly, that's only $70 million a year, right, for 10 years. so they claim that this is the biggest contract signed by an athlete in global sports history? No. A 10-year deal for 700 million? I feel like 70 million a year.

No? Okay, whatever. Whatever, if you say so, maybe it's the 10-year deal, and it's the 700 million. That's the most, but it's not. I mean, if you work that out, 10-year deal. So he was like the biggest sought-after, you know, free agent. He's the first player ever to, to win 10 games as a pitcher,

hit more than 40 home runs. The only player do have twice been unanimously selected as league MVP. He's got 38 wins on the mound, more than 600 strikeouts from the mound while knocking 171 home runs and driving in another 437 runs. I mean, he's pretty incredible ball player. It's fun to watch, but he played for the Angels,

and they went nowhere fast. So now that he's playing with the Dodgers, he may have a chance to, you know, go from win the title, which would be kind of fun for him. And it would be great to see him in the playoffs and do his thing. The contract value is, according to this, $275 million higher than baseball's previous record contract and more than the 2023 opening day payroll of two teams.

Those two teams need to butcher up and pay a little bit of more money. And also congratulations to LSU quarterback Jaden Daniels, who won the 2023 Heisman Trophy. Congratulations to Jaiton Daniels as the 2023 Heisman Trophy. A lot of people are not happy about that, but he had a heck of a season, and so did all the finalists. And so, you know, congratulations to Jaden Daniels for winning the 2023 Heisman Trophy. And as long as we're talking about sports, I see where the Georgia, Herman Babe Ruth

baseball card now sold for $7.2 million dollars. Okay. That's a really cool looking

baseball card too. I would love to have that card. I don't have your $7.2 million to spend on it, but it would be really cool

if I had it. The card was first owned by 16-year-old Baltimore Paperboy Archibald Davis, who collected cards, the bigtum players from his favorite team. That's how it always works.

The International League Orioles, which came in the daily papers. Look at that. It's so cool to have Ruth Pitcher International League. Man, that'd be cool. 7.2 million. It's a 19-year-old George Herman Babe Ruth. Wow. Now, this, he would collect, this guy would collect 15 cards,

and they were passed down through his family for 107 years. Before the family said, you know, I guess, we'll loan them. Well, you can't have them, but we'll give them to the Babe Ruth birthplace and museum in 1998. We'll loan them to you, okay? And you guys can put them on display at the museum. And then, uh, in 2021, uh, when things, I guess, went a little south for the family, they said, you know, we're going to, we probably should sell. We probably should sell those. That's only a one of ten that we know to. exist. Wow. I don't know, man. 7.2 million for that Babe Ruth card. Yeah, let's, if you were

for money in 2021, they finally broke down and sold the old card that the great, great, great, great, grandfather or whatever he is, uh, had for you. Congratulations on that. And I'm sure the museum is, uh, is happy. Now, uh, Wagner, uh, let's see, let's see, his card sold for 6.6 million. Okay. Yeah, the Honest Wagner. card. That's a fascinating card too, because that was the one I think where he, it was for chewing tobacco and he was pissed that it was chewing tobacco, so he made him take it away because he didn't want to be for, he didn't want to promote chewing tobacco. And so there's, I don't know, not very many of those if, I don't know how many of those are left, but he was

pissed. And that's why they, why it cost so much to get it. So congratulations to the family and whoever, you know, purchased the card from Robert Edward Auctions, becoming the third most expensive sports card in history. Wait, who was more? Because 17.7.2 million should be number one, right? Honest was 6.6. Mickey Mantle, that sold for like 5 million. There was another Babe Ruth card that sold for 4 million.

Come on now. Who's above that? No one. Who is becoming the third most expensive sports card in history? The third most expensive. That means there's more expensive cards, right? Or is it just that Mickey Mantle and Honest Wagner and this card are the top three? That's worded.

The way that sounds that there's cards more expensive than this one, and I don't think there is. There were a few other things that got auctioned off in the N. the near past. Like there was a menu signed by Mao Se dung and Zhu Enle. They were, there was a menu signed in fountain pen

by six influential Chinese statesmen, including Mao and Premier Zhao Enle, which I find fascinating. Now that was auctioned off for $275,000. I'm surprised that Mercury One doesn't own that.

But the weird thing about this, their signatures were signed on this menu. The menu was for this banquet showed that foods from both nations, right? Included delicacies

such as consummate of swallow nest and white agaric sharks fin in brown sauce and roast pecan duck. You know what? I don't want that. I'm good. Hey, Mao. How about you to bring

me something else. I'd go over well with Mao. Hey, Mao, you know, thanks for the consummate of swallow nest and white argic, but I'm good, okay? I don't want any of that shark's fin in brown sauce either. And I'm not real crazy about the roast Peking duck, but I'll go ahead and I'll start with that, okay? And you can see the blood drops of Jeff Fingham. Fisher on the menu as well since he was murdered when he told the when he told a mile hey i'm not

eating that then they auctioned off another world war two era enigma coating machine for 206,253 i think actually mercury one has one of those and a thomas edison signed document for a light bulb patent for 22,154 and a check signed by Steve Jobs to Radio Shack. The check, signed by Steve Jobs, sold for $46,063. The check was dated July 23, 1976, payable to Radio Shack for $4.1. It was signed by Jobs the same year he and Steve Wozniak launched Apple in a Silicon Valley garage.

Man, that's a long way to the well. $46,000 for a check. That check to Radio Shack was written and signed for the same year that Steve and Steve launched Apple. Oh, okay. Wow, that's great. How much do I have to pay for the garage door? You know, where they started Apple in a garage.

Can I get the garage door, please? To be honest, that'd probably be better than the check. I mean, this is the garage door that closed off the Apple launching garage. I don't know. It just makes no sense to me. Oh, the check signed by Steve. All right. You do what you want.
