Starting point is 00:00:00 Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Boating will begin when passenger fisher is done celebrating.
Starting point is 00:00:22 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 1866-3-3-1-2-60 or visit Commexonterio.ca. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. In the great state of Wyoming, a legislation has been drafted that would make it illegal to intimidate others with your genitals.
Starting point is 00:00:47 You just cannot do anything anymore. Wyoming law already addresses public indecency, but it only extends to the exposure of people's private parts with an intent of arousing sexual desire for themselves or another person. There's nothing on the books
Starting point is 00:01:09 about if that exposure is for the purpose of intimidation or harassment. So now we're going to go ahead and have legislation it will probably be passed to make flashing or the exposing of oneself to intimidate others
Starting point is 00:01:26 illegal. Something that Representative Chip Neiman, who drafted the legislation, said, I consider that's equally gross and foul. Come on, people. Let's act like grown-ups, can't we? So, House Bill 51 would make an act like that by the Crook County nudis a prosecutable offense if it can be proven that the exposure was an intent to intimidate or harass. Now, when you're speaking of the Crook County nudist that started all of this,
Starting point is 00:02:04 the nudist, when asked to put clothes on at a public mailbox center, responded by bending over and spreading his buttocks. See what's opened up? Seriously, see what's opened up once the nudis bent over and spread his buttocks. Man, you just cannot do anything anymore. And, man, who doesn't want to intimidate others with their genitals? I know. Well, you're not going to be able to do it in Wyoming soon enough.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Let's talk about some new laws, shall we? Last month, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration released its updated 1,100-page manual, which includes rules regulating signs. and other traffic control devices. I think we talked about this that it was coming, right? They were looking at changes on the highway safety signs.
Starting point is 00:03:14 So under the changes outlined in the handbook, you know, the 1,100 page manual, overhead electronic signs with obscure meetings, references to pop culture, are those intended to be funny? Ah, those are going to be phased out. We don't want you smiling or laughing. you're driving. Over the next couple
Starting point is 00:03:35 years, they are gone. Why? Well, you know, they could be misunderstood or distracting to drivers. Signs should be simple, direct, brief, legible, and clear and must only be used to relay important information, including warning drivers
Starting point is 00:03:53 of crashes ahead in clement weather conditions or traffic delays. Now, states like Tennessee have held safety message contests to alert Tennessee motorists to incidents like lane blockages, hazardous road conditions, or amber alerts. But they started to,
Starting point is 00:04:12 and they started to display fatality numbers on the overhead signs. So. And they would, you know, display these messages during off-peak travel times. Again, so, and thank you. In other states like Wisconsin, employees picked puns for overhead highway messages.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Yeah, that's what they do. It's funny. And then, according to the Sheboygan press, and who doesn't love Sheboygan press, they interviewed Wisconsin's DOT, then communications manager, John Reimann. He said the messages were planned, and I don't know that John is a he.
Starting point is 00:04:57 I'm sorry about that. The communications manager, John Ryman, who said the messages were planned two months in advance and were a collaborative effort between him, law enforcement, traffic safety engineers, civil engineers, and the office assistant. So any of those funny little cute little messages that you got on overhead signs,
Starting point is 00:05:18 they're going to go away. Sorry, we can't have that anymore. Sorry about it. You know what it is? And this was pointed out on several occasions. I did was not the one who originally pointed out, but it's true. And I'm not saying that this has anything to do with communists and socialists.
Starting point is 00:05:41 But have you noticed the difference when you see pictures of people from communist countries and people from capitalistic countries like say, oh, I don't know, the United States? The people from the capital or people from the communist socialist countries don't smile. Why? Because nothing is funny. Everything is great. You can't have fun. Okay? You have to be one of the people. So they're just trying to take all our fun away. So any of those fun little signs that you think were funny and cute, no more. No more on the highway. Just something that's simple, direct, brief, legible, and clear. That's it. That's great. Thank you. We appreciate. very much. Now, now we have a new law being introduced in the entire United States, you know, just like the 1100 page manual for the U.S. Federal Highway Administration.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Representative Ted Liu, I love Ted, from California, is introducing a bill to ban the sale and use of rodent glue traps. Now, I just want to go on record as saying, I love rodent glue traps. I have used them in the past. They work. Now, according to this, glue traps are boards of various sizes covered in strong glue that are popular alternative to snap traps for indoor control of rats and mice,
Starting point is 00:07:11 and they're banned in a few countries already. Mainly in Europe, and they're just banned, okay? They don't like them. And here's the thing. All right, PETA has been pushing for the ban of these glue traps. and some large retailers have stopped selling the glue traps, as well as companies and institutions that have sworn off using them. So the free market is working.
Starting point is 00:07:41 If you don't like them or you think they're terrible, then companies won't sell them because no one buys them, right? But we can't have that. We've got to ban them, and that's what Ted Lou is here for, because the glue traps are cruel to rats and mice. Yeah, we don't want that. We don't want to be cruel to rats and mice. I do.
Starting point is 00:08:03 I do. I want to be cruel to them. I want them to know I am here to destroy them. They're here to destroy us. I have not them to know humans first. So the glue trap prohibition act oh my gosh is going to place a national ban on the possession and use of glue traps
Starting point is 00:08:25 to catch rodents. Glutrap boards are coated with adhesive used to catch and kill pests Are among the cruelest ways to eliminate rodents In their attempts to escape the glue, animals may tear off their skin And some may even gnaw off their own limbs I know, I've seen that. Animals that do not escape die of blood loss Good! Suffocation! Good! Or dehydration!
Starting point is 00:08:53 Good! And that's what the Deacon does. the decont dehydrates them and they just run go off and lay down and die and hopefully the decon you know makes it so they don't stink you just have a dead rat body laying in your house somewhere but glue traps also pose a public health risk they do yes that's what it says here the cdc urges americans not to use glue traps as ensnared rodents can spread disease how do you want us to kill them then do you want us to just say here come here who's a good little rat come here. Let me take care of you. You guys to put you somewhere else. So we already talked about the traps being banned in Europe, Iceland, Ireland, New Zealand, as well as over 100 airports
Starting point is 00:09:41 across the country have banned the glue traps. Oh man, oh man. Now, what makes me feel better about this bill is not only does Representative Ted Liu from California has sponsored this bill, but Adam Schiff, a congressman from California, is an original co-sponsor of this bill. Man, when I think of two people that I want to follow in America, it's those two people. Glut traps are ruthless, inhumane, and can be dangerous to the health of humans and their pets.
Starting point is 00:10:13 There are numerous other ways to trap small animals that don't prolong their suffering. Yeah, we just have the mousetrap, and it just, you know, breaks their neck. And there they lay. and you can't catch disease from a rat just laying there out in the open with his neck broken, can you? Oh, wait, yeah, you can't. And so as a proud member of the, this is Representative Liu speaking now,
Starting point is 00:10:37 as a proud member of the Animal Protection Caucus, we've got a caucus for animal protection. I'm pleased to introduce this bill to stop the needless suffering of these animals. Oh, no. Oh, no. we don't want glue traps. I want to say I go on record 100% I want glue traps.
Starting point is 00:10:59 I like them. They worked great. I've used them to catch rodents. I've never stepped on one. It hasn't bothered me. I didn't mind if, let's say, a roach crawled across the glue trap and got stuck as well.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Yeah, I was okay with that. Yeah, it got some other, you know, other bugs and other pests on the glue trap while I was waiting for the rat to go all across it. That was okay with me. I'm fine. Now, I have used the decon before.
Starting point is 00:11:28 I have used the, and actually, you know, one of the big rat tracts before, and they do work. The decon, I wasn't crazy about that because then they just wander off and die, and you can't find them. Sometimes they end up,
Starting point is 00:11:42 the decon dries them out, so they start gnawing on your washer hoses and water hoses because they're thirsty. You know, they're getting dehydrated. And so then they die behind your washing. and dryer, stuff like that. But the glue traps works great. You lay them out, the rat gets caught on it,
Starting point is 00:11:57 you got the rat. You throw it away. It's really easy. And the thing that bugs me the most is we don't need government intervention on this, all right? They already said that companies and institutions have already stopped selling them or they aren't using them anymore.
Starting point is 00:12:12 So the free market is working if you feel that the glue traps, you know, are cruel to rats and mice, and you don't want to use them. Okay, I do. I want to be able to go to a store and say, hey, I like some glue traps. And they could say, we don't sell them anymore. So I either buy something else at that store,
Starting point is 00:12:33 or I go to a store that sells glue traps and purchase them there. I don't want them banned because Ted Lou thinks they're cruel to rats and mice. Ugh. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. desperately.
Starting point is 00:12:58 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 Apple in the news,
Starting point is 00:13:18 the Apple Vision Pro, will launch with over 153D movies, immersive originals, and apps like Disney Plus and Amazon Prime Video. We also now know that Apple washes with the blood oxygen sensors banned again. Your next Apple Watch won't be able to measure your blood oxygen level after a federal appeals court reinstated a ban on importing the Series 9 and Ultra 2 watches that were found to infringe
Starting point is 00:13:49 on health tech makers Massimo's patent. But Apple already has a workaround making the watches without. the allegedly infringing feature, but Apple didn't lose entirely. The ruling wasn't about whether it violated the patent, just whether Apple could import the watches while it continues to fight it in court. So we're not giving up anything yet. Also in Apple News, for the first time since 2010, Samsung does not sit atop the global smartphone shipment rankings.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Apple topped the South Korean tech giant in 2023 with 230. with 234.6 million mobile shipments, according to IDC's worldwide quarterly mobile phone tracker. And I follow the IDC's worldwide quarterly mobile phone tracker, probably as much as you do. Samsung finished the year with 226.6 million mobile shipments. IDC noted that Apple's first ever number one ranking was largely due to the rising global.
Starting point is 00:14:55 popularity of premium devices, which now account for 20% of the market. Both Apple and Samsung are facing increased competition from the Chinese phone maker, Hawaii, H-U-A-W-E-I. But congratulations to Apple for at least number one in something. They're number one in mobile shipments. Congratulations. Google's Deep Mind, solving geometry problems on par with top competitors in an international math competition.
Starting point is 00:15:33 That's not a problem, right? Ability to solve geometric theorems requires deeper reasoning useful in other applications. Uh-huh. Like the application of getting rid of humans? No, that's just silly. Amazon said they are going to partner with the Wonder Project to produce faith-based content. for Prime Video. Amazon also purchased a minority stake in Ballet Sports Regional Networks,
Starting point is 00:16:02 which owns rights to local broadcasts for 37 teams in the NBA, the MLB, and the NHL. So they are inching their way into that market. They're also stepping up at their advertising with a focus on live sports streaming on Prime video. This comes after the introduction of ads into the prime ecosystem, alongside a $3 a month opt-out option. Okay. Danielle Carney, Amazon's ahead of sports advertising, is spearheading the initiative, which is already seeing success with increased viewership in NFL Thursday night football.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Amazon is introducing a suite of innovative advertising tactics, including interactive video ads and audience-specific content, bringing a new spin to traditional methods, are they? We're looking forward to Amazon's playbook, including its horizons to encompass NASCAR and dynamic women's sports leagues like the NWSL and the WNBA, aiming to blend initiative sponsorship approaches with the flair of their advertising game.
Starting point is 00:17:18 And man, when you think of advertising game and flair, you think of the NWSL and the WNBA, don't you? Yeah, you do. We know the other day we mentioned that YouTube is now going to provide short instructional videos from medical experts for health emergencies. Well, now we find out. YouTube is, and this is, I want you to sit down.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Okay, you need to sit down and hear this. This is horrible. It's horrible news from YouTube. And I don't want you to hear it standing up. Are you sitting down? Okay. It's allegedly, and that means that we don't, know for sure, but we believe that they are making millions of dollars a year from advertising
Starting point is 00:17:59 on climate change denial content. That's why I want you to sit down. How dare they? How dare this company make money on climate change denial content? Those bastards. And for those of you using Uber to get your booze, that's going away very, very soon. They revealed that there They're going to shut down the alcohol delivery platform drizzly by March of this year. The ride-haling app bought the company for $1.1 billion three years ago, and everyone was, you know, getting purchases delivered to their doorsteps. But growth in the delivery market has since slowed. And after the boozy biz got in trouble with regulators over its user data management,
Starting point is 00:18:50 a little bit of an issue, they're going to go ahead and give it up. Uber SVP of delivery, Pierre Demetri Gorgate. I love Pierre Demetri Gorgate. He said that the company is instead prioritizing Uber Eats and focusing on helping consumers get almost anything from food to groceries to alcohol, all in a single app. Drisley laid off 100 employees last year while some of its offerings have already been integrated into Uber. eats. So last year, or 2022 late to mid-2020, we found out that Cheryl Sandberg from Facebook, I'm sorry, Meta, she was there operating chief, said that she was leaving the company, but she was still going to be on the board of directors, right? She wasn't going to do the day-to-day,
Starting point is 00:19:43 but she was still going to be on the board of directors. Well, she now is going to depart the met aboard right now. So take care. She'll step down. She stepped down as the C-E-C-O in, yeah, mid-2002. Yeah. And so then she said, hey, I want to focus on my lean-in.org nonprofit, which focuses on empowering
Starting point is 00:20:06 women in the workplace and related projects. And I guess being on the board, she didn't have enough time for that. So now she's getting rid of the board from Facebook as well. And she just wanted to focus on her new chapter and spend all the time with lean-in.org. Zuck, of course, responded saying, hey, thank you, Cheryl. That's not all he said.
Starting point is 00:20:37 I mean, he thanked her for her time. And her guidance was instrumental in driving our success. And I'm grateful for your unwavering commitment to me and meta over the years. I look forward to your next. chapter. Do you? But Sandberg is gone. Now, she's completely gone, right? As of, I think May is when the re-election starts up for the board of directors on meta. So she's there until then. So, man, they kicked her out as C, I'm sorry, she stepped down as C-O. And now she's going to hang out on the board, made a little board money for a year and a half. And then now they kicked her out
Starting point is 00:21:14 that too. So she's, her new chapter is spending all her time on the lean-in.org, the nonprofit, which focuses on empowering women in the workplace and related projects. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rink on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just Plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Gold tenders, no. But chicken tenders, yes. Because those are groceries, and we deliver those too.

I see where Quaker Oats has added two dozen additional types of granola bars, cereals, and snack foods to a December recall. Remember, we had the recall in December over possible salmonella contamination. Well, the company, owned by PepsiCo, announced the additional recall in the U.S. and Canada now. This expanded recall includes Quaker Chewy granola bars. Oh, I like those.
Starting point is 00:23:22 and cereals, cap and crunch bars, and select cereals, gamese marius cereal, not sure what that is, Gatorade peanut butter, chocolate protein bars, munchies, munch mix, and snack boxes that contain those products. The FDA has received at least 24 reports of adverse events related to the product initially recalled.
Starting point is 00:23:48 No illnesses have been confirmed to be linked to the foods. Wait, what? An agency spokesman said on Friday adverse events can include medical problems, but also complaints about off-taste or color of a product, defective packaging or other non-medical issues. So people are just complaining about the, I don't taste right. Don't forget, though, if you have fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, sometimes you may get a bacterial infection, you have salmonella. And you should get that checked out. And then try and remember if you had any Quaker Chewy granola bars and cereals or Cap and Crunch bars or other select cereals like Gameas Samaria cereal or Gatorade peanut butter or chocolate protein bars or the Munchies Munch Mix and snack boxes.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Try to remember hard if you had any of those if you have, you know, fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and or stomach pain. So the movie ISS opens tomorrow, the 19th of January, 2024. If you're listening live, today is the 18th of January, 2024. And it premiered at Tribeca back in June and was, you know, everybody thought it was great. The film centers around a group of astronauts and cosmonauts living aboard the International Space Station. Now, I hadn't seen any of the promo. cuts from the stars. Arianna DeBose stars in it.
Starting point is 00:25:25 And there's a clip here of her talking about the movie, doing her junk, you know, promoting the movie, ISS. Now, in the movie, tensions flare as a worldwide conflict breaks out on Earth. And the movie is about the astronauts because the Russians got word. And I guess maybe the Americans got word, too, that they were supposed to take control of the, the space station by any means necessary.
Starting point is 00:25:55 This is Arianna talking about the movie. This film feels so intense and and claustrophobic in a way, but it asks really big questions. Yeah, it does. Now, here they are on the space station. Oh, it looks so beautiful. She's enjoying it up at the space station. Yes, welcome.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Everybody's so happy. It's beautiful. And then we start seeing Bombs go off on earth. Oh, no. Wait a minute. What that was going on down there? Oh, whoa.
Starting point is 00:26:37 We've got to get up now, guys. Oh, no. Oh, my God. Oh, what's going on? What's going to happen? Art sort of imitates life. Yeah. We're asking big questions of ourselves right now in the world that we live in.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Yeah, we sure are. See, because they were filming it during the pandemic. So it's the same thing as, you know, worldwide conflict reeling. And so it might actually be worth watching. We'll see. ISS premieres tomorrow. I'm kind of looking forward to.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Remember the series on Netflix Away where they were going to Mars, right? And it's all answers and asks the big questions, right? It was with, you know, what's her face?
Starting point is 00:27:25 Hillary Swank. And it was really good. I did enjoy the series. It was. And of course, this, that one had the Chinese kind of in charge and wanting their astronaut or cosmonaut or Marsmanaut to take the first picture of the human on Mars. But they were all as one, this astronaut group, and they all took the picture. And she ended up being in love with this. Well, you watch the series.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Away. It's called on Netflix. It's worth the watch. No question. But the same thing. Asking the big questions, because that's what we want from Hollywood. asking the big questions. You know, the thing is, it's not so much
Starting point is 00:28:04 they ask the big questions, but the issue with Hollywood is that they also believe that they have the answers to the big questions. And I would just like to go on record as saying, really, those of you in Hollywood don't really have the answers
Starting point is 00:28:19 to the big questions. Just make the movies, okay? I'm okay with you making the movies to ask the big questions. Let's not answer them. The Sundance Film Festival actually kicks off today in Park City, Utah. So we'll have fun seeing the hoity toys from Hollywood
Starting point is 00:28:35 at the 40th Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah for the next 10 days. And speaking of Hollywood, I see where the production schedule is still struggling. Post strikes, Los Angeles TV and film production has been slow to bounce back after the industry-wide WGA and Sagan.
Starting point is 00:28:59 after strikes. Film LA data reveals a significant downturn in scripted TV and feature film production, even post-strike. Overall location filming in 2023 plummeted by 32.4% compared to 2022, affecting all sectors, including commercials and reality TV. The recovery is gradual, and TV dramas and comedies still showing a steep decline in shoot days compared to both the previous year and the pandemic impacted 2020. So they're trying to get back. There's a bunch of new shows getting ready to kick off here later this month and the beginning of February.
Starting point is 00:29:41 So we'll get back to some of the big shows. But according to this, we're not bouncing back to get as many shows as we thought we were going to get. I will say this is in L.A. So I'd be interested to see the numbers in other states where filming or countries where filming has, film production has began. So it's possible that this is just L.A. really struggling. And other areas are booming post-strike. So we'll look for those numbers and let you know. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

I see where the Federal Aviation Administration, the FAA, love them, said that inspections of an initial group of 40 Boeing 737 max nine jets
Starting point is 00:31:06 had been completed. Oh, that's great. So we're ready to fly again? Well, look, we've investigated 40. They grounded 171. You can't be expected to inspect all of those planes in such a short time. I mean, don't be silly. We're going to thoroughly review all the data,
Starting point is 00:31:27 and we're going to reconvene. And we'll see that our corrective action review board gets together before deciding if the planes could resume flights. There's no timetable on the decision. So you're fine. Don't worry about it. We're checking it out. There's 171 planes grounded.
Starting point is 00:31:45 We've tested 40 already. So what do you want from us? There may have been a couple of bolts that needed to be tight, but everything's fine. Don't worry about it. How about you not worry about it? Okay? And I see where, this is snakes on a plane in real life. Well, a snake on a plane in real life.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Not the movie. So a flight from. Bangkok to the island of Puckett, or is it pronounced with an F, P-H-U-K-E-T? I don't think it could be F, right? The island of Pucket. When a snake emerged above an overhead compartment in front of all the tourists. Yeah, you see the footage of, I'm guessing, a flight attendant with a trash bag and white gloves, some sort of plastic gloves,
Starting point is 00:32:36 serving gloves, catch the snake in the bag. So people, we don't know if it was just one snake, they don't know if it was deadly, whether, you know, what was happening, they got the bag, they put the snake in the bag, and they put it into a cupboard,
Starting point is 00:32:55 tied it up and left it alone. We don't know where it came from. We don't know if it was in someone's luggage, if it showed up and wanted to just take the trip on its own. but people were a little freak freaked out. Yeah, the one passenger said, I was a little puckered during the whole thing. I'd happened above my head,
Starting point is 00:33:18 and I did not want to fly on this plane anymore. The snake was later identified as a Blansford bridle snake, a species of harmless color-bred snake that is endemic to Asia. They are non-venous, and avoid attacking humans. Don't know that at the time, though. Sorry, you're a little freaked out. People are smuggling animals all over.
Starting point is 00:33:43 They don't know how it got on the plane. I mean, remember we had the otter that was smuggled on the plane from some lady's hand luggage? That did damage, right? I mean, that actually attacked one of the flight attendants. There was the one guy or lady, I think it was a guy that got caught at the end. airport. He never made it to the airplane. He had a prairie dog and two otters stuffed in his pants.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Those, uh, was that a prairie dog and two otters stuffed in there? You're just happy to see me. Security staff said, uh, we became suspicious of the large bulge in his pants. Hey, uh, what you got in there, bro? What you, what you got in there? Let me, let me take a look. Because if it's anything but you, it can't be on the flight, okay? That is awesome. Why are people like, you know, who knows? I just, I don't want to be on a plane when animals are running crazy. Especially crazed otters, man.
Starting point is 00:34:54 You don't want none of that. Why? I've got to go through my garage. I've got to have stuff in there worth a bunch of money. I see where the heritage auctions here in Dallas, Texas, as this show originates from DFW, that would be Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. They had a big comics and comic art auction
Starting point is 00:35:19 the last four or five days, January 11th through the 14th. And they sold like, I don't know, $20.3 million worth of comics and comic art, including the first issue of The Amazing Spider-Man. That sold. for $1.3 million. Wow. So the Amazing Spider-Man number one,
Starting point is 00:35:44 graded near Mint, which just sold for $1,380,000. The original comic hit newsstands March, 1963, only seven months after the Marvel superhero made his debut in Amazing Fantasy number 15. Duh. Oh, you're the comic book, aficionados man
Starting point is 00:36:08 oh yeah it made its debut in the Amazing Fantasy number 15 but this particular one is from 1963 I know I get it I got it I got it
Starting point is 00:36:21 I got it let me alone so it also said it sold for the first time a rare Spartan comic at this grade they were really happy with it and they see the DC superhero comics sold
Starting point is 00:36:33 at comics and comic art event for $2.3.4 million. Seven figure item, one, it was Superman graded fine. I mean, I've got to go through. I read these stories, and it just, I've got stuff in garage that I need to sell. I know my son has Transformer stuff worth a fortune that, you know, he spent, you know, between $40 and $500 on.
Starting point is 00:37:03 That's worth so much more than that. And there's no way he sells it. I mean, there's no way that Maximus sells that. And he is a transformer expert. If there's anyone looking for a transformer expert out there, he's your man. He's got it. And there's stuff out there that I've got to talk him into selling some of that stuff to get some cash. It has to happen.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Or I guess I could win the lotto. I know no one won the Powerball last night. So we're starting to get where it's, you know, worthy of playing. Saturday, the 20th of January, there's. going to have a drawing for $120,0.59.4 million cash payout. And the mega millions is, we mentioned yesterday, that drawing is tomorrow the 19th of January for $236 million, $13.6 million. You win that. Man, you could buy one of those Spider-Man comic books for a million bucks and not even see a dent in the checking account. You know, I love the Internet. The Internet is a
Starting point is 00:38:05 beautiful thing. I love the internet, but just make sure that you do a little bit of research. I see where Sunday night football, Sunday night football on NBC, posted a tweet about C.J. Stroud, the quarterback of the Houston Texans, has a lot of love for his city. And they post a 23-second video. Well, the video begins like this. enough to be playing at a high level right now. And we got to just keep it going, but I'm super blessed. Okay, so that's the video that Sunday night football tweeted out. Now, I watched that interview after the game.
Starting point is 00:39:05 And that is not the full interview. Now, NBC may tell you that they edited it for time. Let's see how much more time the video would have taken had they not edited out what was actually said. First form is for you. First foremost, I just want to give all glory and praise, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I mean, it's been a... A whole three or four seconds giving props to this Lord and Savior.
Starting point is 00:39:35 They would have saved in that clip. Unbelievable. They hate C.J. Stroud mentioning that every time he starts an interview. And they have to talk to him because he's the man. He is the superstar rookie in the NFL. And so it wasn't... I know Houston took a beating because they retweet. the tweet that NBC tweeted, but that's not Houston's fault, the Houston football team.
Starting point is 00:40:02 That's NBC's fault. And NBC wants nothing to do with C.J. Stroud thanking his Lord and Savior. Then I see a video making my timeline with, there's a caption on the video that says, just two lesbians trying to charge a car battery. And it's from an X-account clown world. And there's a caption that's posted with the I don't need a man generation. And it's from a TikTok Cassidy Cashmitter. And the video is actually made from a TikTok from a Cassidy Cashmitter.
Starting point is 00:40:45 And it says, and that is, and there's words being typed on the screen from the TikTok. But the caption is there not from the people who. posted the video saying just two lesbians trying to charge a car battery. So I watch it. And it is not two lesbians trying to charge a car battery. It is a mom and a daughter. And the mom is trying to teach the daughter how to charge a car battery because she's never done it before. And it's just, it's, you know, it's kind of funny, kind of sad because you already,
Starting point is 00:41:20 it's such a simple process charging a car using jumper cables. that you just know, but you didn't just know. There was a time in your life when you didn't, and you had to be taught how to do it. I don't remember being taught how to do it. I remember seeing, you know, my father and my grandfather and, you know, other people doing it. So you just learn how to do it.
Starting point is 00:41:41 The one thing in this video, they don't. The mom doesn't teach you to put the negative on first, not the positive, then the negative, but that's beside the point. It is a mom and a daughter. It's not two lesbians trying to charge a car battery. So just remember that, because something has said on the internet doesn't always make it true.
Starting point is 00:42:04 You can quote me on that, by the way. And that doesn't mean I want government intervention telling me what's true and what's not. I can figure that out all by myself. And I have faith in my chewing the fat listeners, you, you are able to do that as well. We don't need government intervention to tell us.
