So congratulations to Miss Universe. Congratulations to the first Filipino, American to win Miss USA and Miss Universe. And congratulations to Cherapong and...
Starting point is 00:02:44 Chakraju Faso. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. All right. And I didn't even mention the costume outfit for Miss Universe, which was... Well, incredible. We also had the Critics' Choice Awards that happened.
Starting point is 00:03:07 The best picture was everything everywhere all at once. And, of course, then, you know, they had the categories acting ensemble, so we can't just have the best picture. We have to have the best acting ensemble. Of course, that went to Glass Onion, the Knives Out mystery. Clay Blanch had won for Tar. We had Supporting Actor in a comedy series
Starting point is 00:03:31 Henry Winkler from Barry Better Call Saul did some winning too Giancarlo Esposito was Best Supporting Actor in a drama series from Better Call Saul
Starting point is 00:03:41 He was awesome John Lithgow and the old man He was really good We talked about the old man show though that seemed like it ended You know just like Okay we're done Which was really really weird
Starting point is 00:03:53 And then Best Supporting actress was Angela Bassett, Black Panther, What Kind of Forever? Of course. And you know what I mean by, of course. Bob Odenkirk won for Best Actor in a Drama series, Better Call Saul.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Jennifer Coolidge, one for White Lotus. And, you know, I don't know that I agree with that. There's, you know, there was plenty of other, what's her face from House of the Dragon, Julia Garner and Ozark. Anyway, it just seems like. Rhea, C. Horn would have been awesome from Better Call Saul.
Starting point is 00:04:28 She deserved it. What a great character. Zendaya won for actress and a drama series. Euphoria. If you haven't seen that. And Brendan Fraser, pretending to be a fat man. While he's overweight, I would say now, he is overweight.
Starting point is 00:04:44 He definitely a little fat-shaming in Hollywood, but he won for The Whale. And so Brennan is back. He's Mr. Superstar in Hollywood, and he was very thankful. I'm very happy that he won the award. He had a nice heartwarming acceptance
Starting point is 00:05:00 speech. Well, you know what? Here's Brendan. I was in the wilderness and I probably should have left a trailer breadcrumbs. But you found me and
Starting point is 00:05:16 like all the best directors you merely just showed me where to go to get to where I needed to be. Oh, that's great. Yes. Because I'm just a dumb actor.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Who's sober now? Oh, music. Time to go. In any way, struggle with... Wrap it up, Brendan. You just feel like you're in a dark sea. I want you to know that if you too can have this strength to just get to your feet and go to the light. Good things will have.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Help it. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Standing ovation. Thank you. Thank you. Good night. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Easy, Brandon. Take it easy. We're done. All right. So congratulations to all the winners and all the people that were just nominated in the Critics' Choice Awards. And then we had Super Wild Card Weekend.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I mean the NFL. Put games on Saturday, Sunday, and we have a game. tonight, for those of you listening live, the 16th of January, 2023, against the Dallas Cowboys, taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cap off the super wildcard weekend. But the games were awesome. The 49ers won.
Starting point is 00:06:44 The Jaguars came back in the, I think, the third biggest comeback in history. The Bills just snuck out a win against the Dolphins, It was a fun game to kind of watch, but Buffalo should have had that game. It was embarrassing that they, uh, are you dolphin fans? Sorry, but the bills should have, I mean, they were up, what, 17 to nothing or 17 to 3? And then, uh, they ended up winning 34 to 31. Uh, a little embarrassing. Uh, the Vikings, I told you, I don't, a long time ago that the Vikings were a team
Starting point is 00:07:19 that they want everybody to like, but they were just, they just couldn't do it. It was just terrible. They snuck out wins all year. They had this great record, and they just weren't good. And they lost to the New York football giants, 31 to 24. And then the Ravens and the Bengals game last night. Cincinnati, wow. I mean, I thought they were better than what they looked like.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Maybe they are. Maybe it was just a division game between them and the Ravens. But the Ravens almost snuck that game out. And the Bengals were very lucky with a fumble recovery run back for a touchdown 98. longest runback fumble recovery for a touchdown in playoff history. Defensive lineman from Ohio State rumbling and rolling and tumbling back to the end zone for a touchdown, which put them over the top and they beat the Ravens 24 to 17. The Ravens were without Lamar Jackson, who was injured.
Starting point is 00:08:13 At least that's what he claimed he wasn't ready to play. He doesn't have a new contract either, so maybe he was injured because he didn't have a new contract. Some people are saying that. Not me. Some people are saying that. But Tyler Huntley, the second string quarterback from Utah, was great. And he is a similar quarterback to Lamar Jackson. And he put on a great show. Now, the fumble, he thought he was over. He stretched out. He had outstretched hands with the football. It did not cross the line to score a touchdown. But interesting that they talk about, and I'm surprised that they actually talk. about this, but according to the chip in the football, the closest the ball got to the end zone
Starting point is 00:09:01 was 0.6 yards from the goal line. So yes, the footballs do have chips in them. Now, I guess the chips in the footballs are not accurate up to, I don't know, six inches or seven inches or something like that. You can write your own jokes. But, so there are chips in them so they can keep track of this kind of thing or when they go out of bounds possibly. But it's so strange. I saw a lot of bad ball placement from the referees. Yes, this weekend. And so it seemed to me that we need to upgrade our chips in the football
Starting point is 00:09:37 and maybe use those to let us know where the football needs to be. But what do I know? So congratulations to all the winners. And I'm really torn about the game tonight. I am a Buccaneers fan, been a Buccaneers fan for a long time. Love Tampa Bay. I lived there for many, many years. And since I'm now residing in DFW,
Starting point is 00:10:01 I've kind of become a Cowboys fan. I mean, it's almost a sure thing. I live here, so I'm inundated with Cowboy News. And I'm kind of a fan. So I feel like the way the Buccaneers have played this year, that the Cowboys are going to have a really good game after getting their butt kicked last week, and they're going to have a really big game
Starting point is 00:10:19 and destroy Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady. However, that's a hard feeling because Brady in the playoffs and the Buccaneers, playing in the wild card. I just feel like if Tom gets the Buccaneers up, the Cowboys are going to have a tough time coming back because Dack is, I don't know, he's not that kind of quarterback, at least in my eyes. But either way, either way, I'll be, you know, I'll be more happy if the Buccaneers win, but I'll be happy if the Cowboys win. So I'm looking forward to that game tonight. And I know many of you don't care about football, but I will say that football,
Starting point is 00:10:57 high school, college, and NFL really is part of the fabric of America. And when you look at the top-watched television broadcasts of last year, 82 of the top 100, is football. Well, let me rephrase that. 82 of the top 100 is NFL football. Five of the top 100
Starting point is 00:11:30 is college football. So 87 of the 100 top-watched US TV broadcast last year was football. Just incredible. I mean, we had the World Cup,
Starting point is 00:11:45 three World Cups. Thanksgiving Parade, Kentucky Derby, Olympics Academy Awards. We had some politics in there. Four times were politics broadcasts, so it probably debates and or state of the union, that kind of thing. And college basketball a couple of times.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Thanksgiving Day parade, yeah, Macy's is huge. Everybody, the Derby, the Olympics. So, I mean, it's talking about the fabric of what America is. It's football. And so, I mean, I'm sure this weekend will be a frontrunner to 20, 23, for sure. And it's early in the year of 2023. There's a lot more football to be played.
Starting point is 00:12:30 And yet, I'm sure that this weekend will be one of the top weekends for 2023. I have to remember to kind of look back at that when the numbers get up, because I'm sure the numbers are going to be huge. And we still have the divisional rounds next week. weekend coming up that are going to be huge. If you think the Bengals and the Bills are already set to play next Sunday afternoon, those numbers are going to be monstrous because don't forget, that was the game, the Bengals and the Bills that got canceled because of the Damar Amlin injury.
Starting point is 00:13:06 So don't be surprised. Demar is home. He's back in Buffalo. He's out of the hospital. He's at home. He sends all kinds of love videos to the time. team, don't be surprised if he is not at this game. I would not be surprised to see them introduce him up in a box, just to stand up and wave.
Starting point is 00:13:34 That place will go crazy. So just be ready for that. Be ready for that. And then you have the Jaguars, the Jaguars, who, you know, had a huge come back against San Diego, playing the Kansas City Chiefs. Good luck. And then you have the Giants taking on the Eagles. That game will be better than anticipated.
Starting point is 00:13:56 The Giants looked really good against the Vikings, although it was against the Vikings. And then whoever wins Dallas and Tampa will take on the San Francisco 49ers. Good luck with that. Good luck with that game. All right. the break room. There's so much more that happened since we last spoke. It's just unbelievable to me. Today is the 16th of January, as I said earlier, in 2023. And since we last spoke on Friday the 13th, there's still all kinds of stuff that's happened. It's just amazing. Well, let's go to the break
Starting point is 00:14:35 room because I need something cold to drink. And you may as well get yourself something cold to drink, too. Go ahead. Okay. Well, today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It's a federal holiday here in the United States, marking the birthday of MLK Jr. It's observed on the third Monday of January each year. He was born in 1929. His actual birthday is January 15th. The holiday is similar to holidays set under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. So to mark his birthday, Boston officials over the weekend unveiled the latest monument to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Starting point is 00:15:23 It was a $10 million bronze sculpture depicting the moment MLK embraced his wife, Corretta Scott King. After Dr. King learned he'd won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, it's called the Embrace. The completion of the 22-foot-tall statue was highly anticipated. Five years in the works, it is the large. just monument to racial equity in the country. And it's located in the Boston Common, the oldest public park in the United States of America. Why Boston?
Starting point is 00:16:01 Well, that's where MLK met Coretta. He was a doctoral student at BYU, or not BYU, but at BU. He did not go to BYU. He went to BU. While she was studying at the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston Common was also the final destination of a 20,000 person strong voting rights march. Dr. King led from Roxbury in 1955.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Now, the embrace is a little I don't know. What's the word I'm looking for? Not good. Depending on the angle of what you, the way you look at this statue, this monument,
Starting point is 00:16:39 it does not look like an embrace of two loving humans. Well, it does, but it looks more well, I'll put it in the world, of Coretta Scott King's cousin, Seneca Scott, wrote in the online journal, Comback, $10 million were wasted to create a masturbatory metal homage to my legendary family members.
Starting point is 00:17:06 It looks like we're embracing something else, depending on the angle of which you look at it. Now, at one angle, it looks like an embrace. And the other angles, it looks like an embrace of something, some other body parts. But the Brooklyn-based sculptor, Hank Willis Thomas, told the Boston Globe, this work is really about the capacity for each of us to be enveloped in love. Okay. Hank, here's an idea. Maybe when you're making a sculptor, you look at all the angles. You're making a sculpture, and you look at all the angles. And you being a sculptor should know that. It's not
Starting point is 00:17:43 just, you're not just looking at it from one angle. You're looking at it from all angles. And when you look it from all angles. It appears that it is about the capacity for each of us to be enveloped in love. Only I had not the kind of love that Martin Luther King actually embraced. Or? I don't know. Maybe it was. But it's going to look. And another thing that's going to look good is when it's covered in bird poop. So we spent millions of dollars, 10 million dollars on the sculpture and five years in the making. And so are we going to spend what is it? How much is it going to cost to have someone out there to wipe off the bird poop on that thing every day. It's going to be incredible, but I can't wait for the first pictures online for the sculpture,
Starting point is 00:18:32 the embrace covered in bird poop. And then congratulations. Someone did finally win the Mega Millions Jackpot. It wasn't me. The lucky ticket sold in Maine matched all the winning numbers. Wow. congratulations 1.35 billion dollar grand prize as of the time of this recording no one has come forward to say it's me it's me it's me i would assume that knowing whoever it is is getting all their little ducks in a row and then coming
Starting point is 00:19:06 forward to say yeah it's me and this is what i want done with the money and this is where i wanted to go 25 consecutive drawings without it winner finally the magamilias has a winner uh 1.5 3 1.3 1.35 billion dollars a 724.6 million dollar cash payout. that would be tough to take and i there was a million dollar winner uh in texas uh it was not me uh very disappointing but congratulations to all the people who won money on the on the big jackpot. Congratia Freakulations. I am happy for you. No, I am.
Starting point is 00:19:55 I mean that. I'm happy for you. Then we find out that the Dallas Zoo shuts down on Friday. We found this out right after we were done recording the show, that a clouded leopard had escaped the enclosure. And so they shut down the zoo. They warned everybody in the area, hey, we've got this clouded leopard out.
Starting point is 00:20:17 We don't know where it is. is, and I said when I heard the news, it's probably still in the zoo, right? I mean, most of the time the animals get out of their enclosure and they end up, you know, wandering around the zoo because they're, you know, like, well, I don't know where to go. I don't know what I'm doing out here. I've just got to wander around here and hang out. And that's where he ended up being found was, you know, on the zoo's property. However, it looks now that the enclosure had been intentionally damaged to let the old clouded leopard out. And the clouded leopard is like an oversized cat.
Starting point is 00:20:50 You know, it's bigger than a cat, not as big as, you know, an actual tiger or, you know, a big cat. But it's a, you know, it's a, it's a cat. It's a large cat. Do a little damage if you come across it. The old clouded leopard. You don't want to mess with it. Anyway, it might be a cute little animal.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Okay, no problem. But someone has intentionally damaged the enclosure to let it out. Then we find out there's another enclosure that has, damaged where the monkeys these langers were able to get out they didn't get out they could have and they didn't really strange i don't know if the monkeys are dumb i don't know if the monkeys decided yeah we now we get in trouble every time we sneak out we're just gonna stay where we're hey uh you guys are all looking for the clouded leopard we could have left too you know we could be long gone we could have been we could have been the
Starting point is 00:21:47 other side of this damn city But we didn't. We didn't go. So how about a little extra food? All right? To give us a little bit of extra love. So they called in the cops. It looks like that enclosure was originally, was damage as well intentionally to let these animals out.
Starting point is 00:22:05 So I hope the Dallas Zoo has their cameras up and running and are taking notes. We'll see what happens. See if they've got anybody on camera that we know of that is damaging the enclosures to let the animals out. I'm sure it's going to be some protester to save the animals and how dare we keep animals in enclosures and zoos and we've got to let them out. Okay. All right. Calm down. It'll be okay. No one, first of all, let's be clear. No one supports zoos more than this show. Chewing the fat. Tooting the fat. Support zoos. I would say, I would say we are the number one in the forefront of supporting zoos in this country as far as shows go.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Nobody supports zoos like this show. So it's very disappointing when I have people out there intentionally cutting open cages that are keeping the animals safe and keeping the human safe from the animals. So we'll see if we can find out who was cutting the fences to try to set these animals free at the Dallas Zoo. Speaking of animals, you see where the only... Fans model has come out with well she claims that she's trans canine
Starting point is 00:23:25 and she's openly discussing her sex life with dogs and she has started a movement or part of a movement that wants to add Z to the LGBTQI plus rainbow rainbow
Starting point is 00:23:47 because she's trans canine, but she's a zoophile. So we want to add the Z to the LGBTQIA plus. Now, do we, I don't know where we add the Z to. Do we add the Z to LGBTQIZ plus or do we LGBTQIA plus? Or do we LGBTQIA plus Z? Ooh. IG, LGBTQI. This one doesn't even have A.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Gotta have A in there. LGBTQIA plus Z. I like that. Or maybe just LGBTQI, LGBTIA, 2Z. I like that. LGBTQIA plus Z, LGBTQIA plus or 2Z. It's going to be either the number two, or the dash z
Starting point is 00:24:49 LGBTQIA plus dash z no i can't do that we'll see the zoophiles want that z added though it's probably going to be LGBTQ i a z plus this one doesn't have the a it's a very disheartening to me it's just says LGBTQIA plus
Starting point is 00:25:10 no not LGBTQ i plus but you got to have the a the a needs to be the a is already a part of that. So it's LGBTQIA plus. And now where do you put the Z? It's a good question. Where do you put the Z? She said I'm trans-canine.
Starting point is 00:25:29 I can't abuse what I am. Okay. My father has forsaken me. I understand now what he must have. Oh, do you? Do you? Yeah. uh what do you want from me i'm a zoophile okay so uh pita people other only fans uh account
Starting point is 00:25:54 members are asking pita to get involved pita said uh pita is uh lisa allen who i'm sure is a fine fine person she's the vice president of programs of the u k said consensual sex is always between members of the same species who engage in it willingly which could never be the case when a human and another animal are involved. But, uh, okay, all right. That's what you say, Elisa, but, uh, the movement to normalize zoophilia is gaining steam. So zoophiles believes it's acceptable to be intimate with an animal and want the LGBTQ plus. This doesn't even have the I. Well, what's going on? They want to add the Z, but they keep cutting off letters. It's LGBTQI.I. A plus. We need to add the Z. We live in amazing times. Just amazing times.
Starting point is 00:27:16 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. Well, who died today? Who died today? Gina Lola Bridgeta. Yes, Gina Lola Bridgeta died today. And I know she was thinking, wait, she was still alive? I know. She was 95. Rest in peace. Gina Lola Brigida. She was super hot back of her day.
Starting point is 00:27:56 super super hot she was in all kinds of movies and she posted in some hot picks under a under a different name and so when she uh when the film career slowed down back of the 70s uh she started a second career as a photographer and photographed uh you know Salvador Dali and Henry Kissinger and Audrey Hepburn and Ella Fitzgerald. And she did make some notable appearances afterward, you know, being Gina Lola Brigida. Right? I mean, that's who she is. So Gina Lola Brigida, yes, she was still alive, no longer.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Dead at the age of 95. Rest in peace. Oh, you know who else kind of died? is Sierra Mist. Yes, I know. I know Sierra Mists. I guess Pepsi has announced it's rolling out a new citrus brand Stari, or Stary, S-T-A-R-R-Y, story.
Starting point is 00:29:05 To take on the King Sprite. Good luck, God bless. Sprite was like 8.3% of overall market in 2021 by, from Coca-Cola. and Sierra Miss was, you know, less than 1% market share. So Stari, or Stari, which is a caffeine-free and apparently designed to appeal to Gent Z as the, at least the fourth effort by Pepsi to come up after Sprite. So good luck, God bless to Stari, and rest in peace, Sierra Mist. Now we've got a few headlines for some things going on.
Starting point is 00:29:46 remember when Elon Musk tweeted in, I don't know, two or three, maybe four years ago now that he was considering taking Tesla private at $420 a share and had funding secured. And then the SEC and that came back to Biden. Well, jury selection begins tomorrow in a trial over that tweet, which a class action lawsuit claims resulted in Tesla investors losing billions of dollars. So we have that trial to look forward to. We have Kevin Spacey pleading not guilty to seven counts of sexual assault in London. Spacey now faces 11 total charges of sexual assault in the UK. So we have that to look forward to. The World Economic Forum, the W.E.F. Annual Meeting in Davos kicks off today.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Yay! Only I'm told that Klaus isn't going to be there. I don't know if Bill's going to be there. to be there. So the rest of the hoity-toits will all be in Davos, but without Klaus, I don't know what they're going to be talking about. Oh, and you know who else
Starting point is 00:30:54 might not show up is what's his face? George Storos, the other man of evil, is not supposed to be there either, so maybe we're finally, maybe we're finally done with these douchebags. The Asterolean
Starting point is 00:31:10 Open begins today in Melbourne. Remember all the rounding around Novak de Jojavik in his unvaxed status. He's down and her again receiving a warm welcome. Oh, yay! It's okay now. You can be on-vaxed.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Yay! And we know that the one Italian tennis star, Camelia Georgie, she's been accused of using a fake COVID vaccine certificate. So, I mean, I don't blame her. But I would have preferred, you know, like Novak was like, yeah, I'm on next. Well, you know, what's it to you? And they, they showed him what it was to them. But now it's,
Starting point is 00:31:51 it's all better and we're supposed to be okay with it. And if you're looking to, you know, get rid of a little money and make a little money, I think Subway is mulling the idea of a sale that they're looking at, I think, $10 billion. Boy, that seems like a cheap price for Subway. But what do I know? Uh, uh, Subway just seems like it would, be worth more than $10 billion, doesn't it? But that's according to this story. According to Wall Street Journal, a sale would value the chain at more than $10 billion. So that's a good price.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Did you see where Roku, it looks like it's going to start making its own TV, smart TV made by Roku? That's one of the things that they were talking about at the CES this year, the CES 2023. there were a couple other things that jumped out at me as well but the one thing that I was reading about which I found really interesting at the at the still CES the consumer electronics show was that a Roku TV was thinking Roku was thinking about making its own TV well what does that do with all the TVs like I've got several TVs that came with Roku already in them so if I'm
Starting point is 00:33:14 Samsung and you're going up against me now with your own Roku TV. Does that mean that Samsung is going to pull Roku from their, hey, it's already installed on your TV? Okay. All right. Maybe Roku doesn't care. They'll tell you to buy the stick or, you know, buy one of our TVs. How about that?
Starting point is 00:33:36 So anyway, we've got that to look forward to. And then I see, you know, where they have some of the, you know, they talked about the, the wireless OLED TV, the 97 inch, which is almost wireless, right? It has a 4K TV. It receives audio and video from a zero connect box
Starting point is 00:33:59 that can be positioned up to 30 feet away from the screen. Okay, great. I mean, I've got several TVs in my house that connect wirelessly with the Wi-Fi in the house. So, I mean, is that something new I'm supposed to be impressed by? Because I'm not. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

Starting point is 00:35:17 Soyuz spacecraft to retrieve three astronauts who became stranded on the International Space Station after their transport vehicle was damaged in December. I don't know that I remember hearing about this. One of Russia's standard Soya spacecraft, the vehicle successfully launched a docked at the space station in September, was part of a six-month mission. The crew was forced to scratch a planned spacewalk in mid-December after a stream of white particles was observed ejecting from the docked spacecraft.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Preliminary evaluation suggests a micro-mediroid, Tiny rocks, typically, asteroid fragments traveling at high speeds, punched a quarter-inch hole in the vehicle's external cooling system. Officials said the crew is not in any immediate danger. Uh-huh. And will remain aboard the ISS, while the damaged vessel will return to Earth on crude. The rescue spacecraft is expected to launch in February.
Starting point is 00:36:16 So, I don't know if you've seen the documentary Gravity with Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, and Ed Harris. But I didn't work out so well in that movie either. Well, we know that she, I want to have a spoiler here in the movie Gravity from, I don't know, they made this documentary I don't know, 10 years ago now,
Starting point is 00:36:38 that she did land on a planet at the end. We're assuming that it's Earth, but we don't know that. Still waiting for gravity, too. Now, the UK, is supposed to what they call set to make history with the first ever orbital space launch today. A modify, for those of you listening live, again,
Starting point is 00:37:02 it's the 16th of January, 2023. A modified Boeing 747 jet dubbed Cosmic Girl will take off from the UK and launch a rocket into orbit. That's supposed to happen today. All right. All right. the Virgin orbit satellite launch
Starting point is 00:37:23 mission will be the first space launch from UK soil. I thought Virgin had the satellite launch. Oh, that was a satellite launch that made first European country to get satellites into space. That ended in failure, though, right? The rocket
Starting point is 00:37:41 suffered some kind of anomaly before it reached its orbit. So now I guess we're just going to try it all over again. Okay. I don't know. This is something different, Jeff. It's a rocket. It's not satellites. It's going from an airplane, not a rocket launch into space. Okay, I got it. It's completely different. So, what do I know? So good luck. Good luck to the UK to launch their rocket off an airplane.
Starting point is 00:38:17 He's incredible. You know, and speaking of Ah, the stupid CES. Consumer Electronics Show. They had a, one of the things that they were showing off, and again, it was disappointing. That was a ring drone that you could fly around your house, presumably when you were away. And so you'd have the app on your phone or your tablet,
Starting point is 00:38:42 and you were able to launch the drone in your house and fly it around your house to make it okay. Why would you, is, I mean, that's just a, So what toy? First of all, so many people have drones that they have purchased that they thought were going to be so cool. And they're just collecting dust in the closet now because they're a pain in the ass to fly. And you've got to practice with them and continue to use them and hone your skills on them. So if you're away, instead of having just separate cameras around your house that you can click on your app and look at the cameras around your home,
Starting point is 00:39:16 you have to start up a drone that you have setting in your living room, I guess, or on your kitchen counter while you're away, and you're flying the drone through your house. So if you screw up, the Wi-Fi goes down, you didn't make the left quite right, you smashed the drone. It just seems like it's just a little stupid toy. I mean, I just, I guess I'm supposed to be impressed, but I'm not really. so I'm going to have to go through the rest of the consumer electronics show
Starting point is 00:39:48 devices that they came up with this year but it seemed from what I saw that there wasn't anything that was really great but we'll see we'll see I'll let you know I'll look through there and this weekend I saw a a t-shirt that man I wish I had and I've got like I don't know suitcases full of old t-shirts from the radio radio stations and radio station events, and I haven't gone through them in forever. I don't even know what I have.
Starting point is 00:40:19 So maybe I actually have one of these. But I want this T-shirt bad. If it existed, I want this T-shirt bad. It's claimed to be from 1982, and it's a golf tournament from 1982. It says on the T-shirt, if it's real, June 6th, 1982. And it's got a golf club with a T-N-A-Govet, and a golf club. with a tea and a golf ball and it says committee member
Starting point is 00:40:46 but on it, it's an orange t-shirt and it says, swing for the retarded, June 6th, 1989. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I don't even know if you could wear that out in public in today's world.
Starting point is 00:41:07 That's just amazing. I would. That would be awesome to have that t-shirt and wear out in public. But I don't know that you could. that'd be a definite fight starter if you're walking around Sam's Club with your swing for the red-hearted committee member
Starting point is 00:41:22 t-shirt you would definitely be a fight starter wearing that t-shirt. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
