Starting point is 00:00:33 And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. If you are looking for a new gig and maybe a new place to live or already live in Madison, Wisconsin, you know, by the University of Wisconsin, there is a part-time gig that I would love to have. They just posted a job listing for a descriptive sensory panelist. That's really just a fancy way of saying food taster. at the Center for Dairy Research. It includes tasting and evaluating different foods, such as cheese and pizza. That's $15 an hour.
Starting point is 00:01:12 They're looking for individuals passionate about all types of food, but especially cheese, pizza, and other dairy products. So that could mean tasting up to 24 cheese samples and 12 pizzas a week, as well as some other food. it's thrown in there. So it's a temporary position. It's possible that you could get an extension. It'll be based on, at the university's campus in Madison. The panelists must be available.
Starting point is 00:01:41 This is it, though. This is what you have to do. You have to be available for three hours, for three consecutive hours, three consecutive periods, three sessions a week. So you have three hours, three times a week, 15 bucks an hour.
Starting point is 00:01:57 I mean, okay. That's a good gig. Costs you get fed? Anytime. Anyone wants to pay you, or me, to get fed, I'm all for it. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. The family doesn't want to keep them.
Starting point is 00:02:26 They just want to sell them. They don't want to do the work. They just want someone else to take it off their hands. And as of yesterday, they have at least 300 offers of people that said, yes, I'll do the work. A California family is selling what they estimate to be one million copper pennies they found in a late relatives basement crawl space. So the pennies are worth about $10,000 at face value. That's a lot of pennies. The coins are being priced at more than double that because they may contain.
Starting point is 00:03:01 rare fines that are going to be worth a lot more money, small fortunes. So the family listed the pennies on offer up for $25,000. After a local bank told them, and branches they have here, so multiple bank branches told them, we don't have room to hold the thousands of pounds of copper. That's what you do. You're a bank, but okay. So the pennies were all made out of copper until 1943.
Starting point is 00:03:31 when the material demands of World War II prompted the mint to switch over to zinc-coated steel. A few dozen copper pennies were accidentally made that year and one sold for $300,000 at auction in 2022. So by 1982, new pennies were made almost entirely of zinc. So when he began to buy up the old copper ones, the family relative, he wanted to build wealth for future generations. Yeah, he wanted you to look at them and work through them. They're worth something. But no, you don't have the time for that. There's more than two cents worth of copper in each pre-1982 penny.
Starting point is 00:04:13 So they don't want to scour through the truckloads of pennies. That's a heck of a crawl space full of truck loads of pennies. That's one heck of a crawl space. But you've got to have somebody to go through them. And I know someone who is perfect for the task. But I'm sure, and so do at least 300 other people who have offered $25,000 for those pennies because they're going to make some serious money out of that deal. So you can go to offer up and see if you can be the one to purchase them because that would be, well, it would be a pain in the rear. But a penny saved is a penny earned.
Starting point is 00:04:55 We see where J.P. Morgan Chase agreed yesterday to pay $290 million. That's a little bit more than a couple of truckloads of pennies. To dozens of victims of sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein to settle claims the bank knowingly supported the financiers' crimes. Huh. The amount still has to be approved. It'll be one of the largest in civil sex trafficking case. Wow. So the bank managed Epstein.
Starting point is 00:05:25 accounts from 1998 until 2013, five years after he pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor in Florida. A separate FBI investigation in 2019 alleged that Epstein, whose contacts included presidents, princes, tech CEOs,
Starting point is 00:05:44 recruited dozens of underage girls for sexual purposes between 2002 and 2005. And, of course, I mean, he is now dead. suicide. So J.P. Morgan Chase denies liability in the case. Jamie Diamond, the CEO, suggested that former executive, not me. I had anything to do with it.
Starting point is 00:06:08 This Jess Staley was a close friend of Epstein's and was to blame in the deposition. I mean, that's the way Diamond put it in a deposition. So the bank still faces similar claims in separate lawsuits with the U.S. Virgin Islands, where I've seen owned a private island. Okay. I mean, okay. So all these people are now starting to get money because of it, right? So, I mean, one of them, this $290 million deal from J.P. Morgan.
Starting point is 00:06:40 So some of the people in the lawsuit are going to get tens of millions, if not $100 million. Right? I mean, there's, I don't know how many people are suing J.P. Morgan Chase. for this, I don't even know if you can call it a class action, because there's multiple separate suits. And so a number of the victims, you know, are going to, they say up to about 100 people are going to receive money, but they don't know exactly how many because there's multiple people suing.
Starting point is 00:07:17 So somewhere, somebody is going to make tens of millions of dollars. And if someone wants to pay me $10 million, for knowing Jeffrey Epstein, man, was he a good friend of mine? Man, was he a good friend of mine? I mean, I don't know what's going to happen to Jolang. I mean, she's still in prison, right? She's got a 20-year prison sentence. She's got some names and some numbers in her head that could cause big problems.
Starting point is 00:07:49 So I know that we had the Deutsche Bank settle. their tentative sum of $75 million last year, I think. And they were fined $100 million by New York regulators. So, because they were apparently, you know, a client or Epstein was a client of theirs when I guess he shouldn't have been. So damn those banks for taking the rich pants money. Damn them. I'm sure those banks would be happy to take the money of the, what are they, they're not to just, delivery workers. They're app-based delivery workers. So apparently there are more than 60,000
Starting point is 00:08:28 app-based delivery workers in NYC, and they just got a pay jump. They're going to get $17.96 per hour before tips beginning July 12th of this year. So that's the new minimum wage law for app-based delivery drivers. The law is in New York. It was announced by New York City's mayor this weekend. It's the first of its kind in the U.S. and comes after home deliveries spike nationwide during the pandemic. And critics say it doesn't go far enough to protect the workers.
Starting point is 00:09:07 They're independent contractors and they must cover many costs themselves. Well, yes, that's what independent crime contractors are. But they get a new, if you're an app-based delivery worker, you get 1796 an hour So if you just if I just call The store and have it delivered Which happens in NYC all the time I guess those delivery people
Starting point is 00:09:31 Aren't going to be making 1796 an hour They're going to be making you know Whatever that is they make plus the tips Right So I don't know what's better I don't know if it's better to be Just working for the hottest store in town And delivering to office building
Starting point is 00:09:49 or if it's better to be an app-based delivery worker. Either way, you know, for sure, the app-based delivery workers are going to be making $17.96 an hour. And I would venture to say that J.P. Morgan, and maybe even Deutsche Bank, would take those people's money with a smile. I probably should just let it go, but I can't. So let's say I'm working for Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:10:18 I'm delivering for Taco Bell in New York. York City, which, by the way, is one of three locations, New York City, Hollywood, and Orlando that's selling the vegan crunch wrap, the new vegan crunch wrap for Taco Bell. And you can get the vegan version for the price of a traditional wrap, five to seven or eight dollars. So I was, and they're, you know, they're happy that it's the first time that Taco Bell is sold a fully vegan entree. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:46 I mentioned it today during the Fat Five when Pat and I were filling in. for Glenn Beck on his radio program. So they claim, this is the first time that they've offered a vegan entree, and they also claim in the story that almost a quarter of the food it sold last year was vegetarian. All right, you got me, weird.
Starting point is 00:11:08 And they don't want people that are strict vegans to think that it's completely vegan because there may be some cross-contact, which might occur among the foods at the restaurant's kitchen. so don't think you're getting 100% vegan, okay? Don't do it. But if I'm working for Taco Bell and someone orders from the app, okay, does, and I'm not talking about Uber Eats or any of the other food delivery apps,
Starting point is 00:11:38 and maybe that's just all New York is talking about. But if I order something from the Taco Bell app to have it delivered, are those delivery people that work for Taco Bell have to be part of the New York City 1796 minimum wage or do they only are they come under the handle of Taco Bell? I just really weird and I'm not really sure I understand. Yeah so I think it is just the Uber Grubhub, DoorDash,
Starting point is 00:12:14 I think it is just those. I mean that's who they are considering the app based delivery workers. So that means that if I work and deliver for Taco Bell, I'm not an app-based delivery worker, right? So I don't have to get paid 1796. So it would seem that almost this minimum wage thing is working against what they're trying to use
Starting point is 00:12:41 as opportunities for the gig workers, right? I just, okay, I'll stop. This is... Congratulations. Congratulations to everybody who's going to be delivering food in New York City, making 1796 an hour. And congratulations to everyone else
Starting point is 00:13:00 who's going to be paying that difference in their food. So, great. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So we got news that Pat Sayjack is going to say goodbye to Wheel of... Fortune. He tweeted out that the time has come
Starting point is 00:13:27 that he's decided that after the 41st season of Wheel of Fortune, which begins this coming September, is going to be his last. He said it's been a wonderful ride, and I'll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all. He said in his tweet, if nothing else,
Starting point is 00:13:47 I'll keep the clickbait sites busy. So have a nice day, Pat Sejek. What a great ride for him. He's 76 now. Pat Sejack. Wow, 76. 41 seasons of Wheel of Fortune. No word on whether Vanna, who is now 66, is going to take over hosting duties. We got the news, I don't know, not too long ago, that they were going to do a spin-off Wheel of Fortune for kids, right? And they were trying to spin it to younger audiences and it announced that they plan this iconic wheel of fortune will gear the challenges toward children and younger audiences. Now, okay, I thought this, I thought they'd done this before, but I, you know, what do I know? Nothing is what I know.
Starting point is 00:14:38 And there's absolutely no mention of whether Vanna or Pat will be a part of it. I guess Pat didn't want anything to do with it or maybe he's just doing this and he's saying goodbye to the iconic you know main mothership wheel of fortune he didn't say that though he said that it was over have a nice day 41 seasons is enough for me also i guess we're saying goodbye to the hollywood foreign press association uh i guess the golden or globes franchise is as it was is going to be no more. So the Golden Globe Awards is now going to be owned by Dick Clark
Starting point is 00:15:20 Productions and Todd Bowley's Eldridge have acquired the assets of the awards from the nonprofit Hollywood Foreign Press Association. So I guess that shudders the Globe's franchise moves. Okay, I guess. I guess so the new owners who use the assets
Starting point is 00:15:39 and the cash on hand from the association, to establish the Golden Globe Foundation, which will continue on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's tradition of charitable giving. The awards show itself and related assets will now be part of the for-profit operations of Dick Clark Productions. Okay, I guess they've been allies for the award shows. Dick Clark Productions, you know, obviously produced the award show. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:16:10 Do we still have the Golden Globes? I hope so because what would the world be without the golden globes? Now it was formed in 1943 I you know it had because they all wanted the press
Starting point is 00:16:28 core to be together and they were reunited I guess they broke up with the foreign press association of Hollywood and the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association so then they came all together under the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in 1955. Anyway, it's just a strange existence for all of them.
Starting point is 00:16:51 And I guess what that means is that they can now, it's more commercial opportunities for the globes because they're not under the nonprofit title. So take that for what you will. Hopefully, and I mean this again with all my heart. we still will have the Golden Globe Awards. Well, since we're coming up less than 10 days away for the premiere of the second season of Sex and the City,
Starting point is 00:17:24 and just like that on HBO, we're going to get all kinds of stories about the different actresses on the show, and today is no different. Kristen Davis has said she has cried after being ridiculed relentlessly for her fillings. Wait, what? Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:45 She said that she has shed tears over the ridicule and called it very stressful. Now, currently she's reprising her sex on the city role in that way. And in the spinoff, it's not sex in the city anymore. It's called, and just like that, with all the stars. And they're all going to be together this second season. They're all coming back. Yay! So she knows some people ridicule her appearance since she got fillers.
Starting point is 00:18:10 and she said those comments hurt. Oh, no. She described the emotional ordeal of fielding this criticism while trying to navigate the inconsistent world of cosmetic surgery. I've done fillers and it's been good and I've done fillers and it's been bad. And I don't want to go to clown face. That's me speaking, not her, but that's what she's thinking. I've had to get them dissolved.
Starting point is 00:18:34 I have been ridiculed relentlessly. Have you? Have you? and I've shed tears about it. It's very stressful. In fact, at one point, I didn't realize there was something amiss with my lips until one of my friends confronted me about it.
Starting point is 00:18:56 But luckily, I do have good friends who did say eventually, eventually, not right off the bat. They let it go for a little while, like, ooh, what is she doing with her lips she's got something going on so now she said the thing is you don't smile at yourself in the mirror who smiles at themselves in the mirror
Starting point is 00:19:18 crazy people no people smile at themselves in the mirror you know when they brush their teeth and they're getting ready they smile they laugh they do stuff that's what they do but maybe I'm just a crazy person I get it but she said like other celebrities
Starting point is 00:19:34 I was just trusting the doctors with these procedures and then taking the hit from the public when it goes wrong. It's hard to be confronted. Look, it's tough. Now, I make fun of all these people that are getting, you know, three cuts to clown face and fillers to frowns. I got it.
Starting point is 00:19:53 But, you know, it's tough. You're trying to be, in Hollywood especially, you're confronted, she even said, you're confronted with your younger self at all times. And it's a challenge to remember that you don't have to look like that now. But the Internet wants you to. But they also don't want you to. That's the internet.
Starting point is 00:20:09 We're very conflicted. We say, hey, boy, look what she used to look like. Look what she looks like now. But sometimes when you have friends that don't tell you, what are you doing with your lips? What are you doing? I mean, I'll take it easy. So eventually, my friends, my good friends, told me.
Starting point is 00:20:33 I love it. They didn't tell her up front when I did something with my lips. They took it for a little while, like, oh, what are you doing? And I know that Sarah Jessica had talked about, oh, she's got gray hair now in the new show. Yeah. Okay. I don't know that Sarah actually shed tears over being told she had gray hair on the show because guess what? She knew it.
Starting point is 00:21:00 The deal is, Kristen, just take it easy, okay? Don't overdo it. that's what happens with the three cuts to clown face. I've got to come up with a new term for fillers too, because with all the new fillers that people are using now, it takes away from the three cuts to clown face, but they're still overdoing it with the fillers. And who fillers to frowns?
Starting point is 00:21:25 I'll figure it out. I'll have it by the end of the week. But just take it easy, Christian. That's the deal. Speaking of fillers and three cuts, cuts to clown face and plastic surgery. I see where Holly Sanders is launching her own sports league. Well, it's called Exposed, the letter X posed, and the sports league.
Starting point is 00:21:53 It's going to feature Instagram and only fans models. It's going to feature just the Instagram and only fans models playing sports. So we've got that to look forward to. Apparently, she's been working on the idea for a few years. Yeah, you never came up with that idea ever. No one ever thought about that. You know, what we should do is have all these chicks, and there are some dudes, on only fans, and let them play sports
Starting point is 00:22:23 in what they normally wear or make them take off all their clothes and let them just run around naked and play sports. No one ever thought about doing that ever. But you did it, Ollie. I mean, she's making it work, I guess. So we've got that to look forward to soon. I'm not sure when that launches. It just claims that she's working on it,
Starting point is 00:22:45 and it actually happens. So the ex-Golf Channel and Fox Sports host launches Topless Sports League with the most beautiful women you've ever seen. But they are on... She's a former Golf Channel and Foxport host be running Exposed, which will feature. Instagram and only fans models. So that means it's not up and running yet.
Starting point is 00:23:14 All right, well, good luck. I can't wait for, I can't wait for all you IG models to be playing your favorite sports wearing next to nothing. Yay! No, really, I can't wait.

Starting point is 00:24:02 So who died today? Who died today? First, we'll start with Treat Williams, the actor Treat Williams. And he is one of those actors that if you don't know who he is, you definitely would know him if you saw him. He's dead at the age of 71. Treet was on his motorcycle in a parking lot when he was hit by a car, an automobile. And he was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead at the hospital. They make a big deal out of being hit by a Honda. I don't know why that's part of the story. I mean, I realize it should be part of the story.
Starting point is 00:24:46 But it said multiple times that he was. hit by a Honda, driver Ryan M. Cause, who signaled left into a parking lot and crashed into the actor. There had no arrest to been made following the crash. The investigation is ongoing. So he was hit in the parking lot. They rushed him to the hospital. And he passed away at the hospital.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Treat Williams dead after being hit by a Honda. And there was actual humans driving the Honda. But he was hit by a Honda. at the age of 71. Rest in peace. Then we have Italian singer Irma Capice, Minutola. She has died at the age of 87.
Starting point is 00:25:33 No word on what she died of. I'm guessing she died because she was 87. I don't know that. Her claim to fame was that she was the lover of the king of Egypt, who, I mean the king of Egypt, Farouk has been dead for a long time. but apparently they were they knew each other since they were kids they were wed when they were young i don't know that it i don't know the entire story of how they were wed and she claimed to be his
Starting point is 00:26:03 widow but they i don't know if they were ever really wed she was the lover he was exiled from egypt and they were together i mean who knows she said she was 11 we got married when i was 16 I met him when I was 11. We got married when I was 16. Okay, they were married in an Islamic ceremony, lived with one another for eight years. I don't know. Faruque said he was never married, I think.
Starting point is 00:26:32 So anyway, very sad. The former lover of a king and an opera singer, Irma Capiz Minitolo, is a dead at the age of 87. then we have Jim Turner, Jim Turner dead at the age of 82, the legendary NFL kicker, won a Super Bowl with the New York Jets, became a Broncos icon, didn't miss a game in his entire career, suffered heart failure at the age of 82. He played 228 straight NFL games, didn't get injured in his career.
Starting point is 00:27:15 He obviously won Super Bowl, Super Bowl three. like it was with the Jets and is inducted into the Denver Broncos ring of fame. So Jim Turner, the legendary New York Jets and Denver Broncos kicker, has died at the age of 82 from heart failure. Rest in peace. Okay, this is another who died today, but I think we did him already. You know, we could do it him again. Who died today?
Starting point is 00:27:45 Mike Bataea from Breaking Bad. you know him as the laundromat manager in Breaking Bad for three episodes. But apparently he died at the age of 52. The family said that he died of a heart attack. And of course the family has issued a statement saying he was a loving brother and he's got, you know, we loved him and all the stuff that you say. That's true, right?
Starting point is 00:28:14 I mean, his family. well according to this he died of asphyxia by hanging so i know that probably is a little embarrassing for the family they want to believe that he died of a heart attack but he died of asphyxia from hanging now whether that was on purpose or a mistake is another thing because some people do make a mistake in that area where you you know forget you just hang on too long and then you're dead i think you know what i'm saying yeah you do so rest in peace mike bettea dead at the age of 52, no matter how you went out, whether it was a spixia hanging,
Starting point is 00:29:19 or whether it was a heart attack, rest in peace. Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets for winning their first ever NBA championship. They beat the Miami Heats 94 to 89. Congratulations to them, as predicted on this very show. I didn't think they would need a fifth game, but they did. They won it in Denver. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Now, they had a big celebration afterward. A few people got shot. I did see Peyton show up at the championship, and he had his big gold chain and his NBA championship plaque hanging. That was pretty funny. And when he was interviewed, it was all about the Denver Nuggets. It wasn't about him, which was great. that's what makes Peyton
Starting point is 00:30:11 Peyton but congratulations to the Denver Nuggets Jokik was named the most valuable player of the finals plus he was the you know I don't know regular season MVP he finished
Starting point is 00:30:25 he finished game 5 with 28 points 16 rebounds for assists he became the first player in NBA history to lead the playoffs in points rebounds and assists I would say that's pretty good. And I would also say that's exactly why he was the MVP of the league. But that's
Starting point is 00:30:45 me. So tonight, for those of you listening live, today is the 13th of June, 2023. We have the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs continuing. And that game is game five in Vegas with the Panthers coming into town. Now they have an opportunity to win the Stanley Cup, Vegas does tonight at home, just as Denver did last night at home for the NBA. And it probably will happen. I would be very, very dismayed. Dismayed is a good word.
Starting point is 00:31:22 If the Panthers beat Vegas tonight. That's what they've done throughout the playoffs, though. I know some of you hockey fans have made that clear to me. But I just don't see it happening. Vegas is too strong a team. and I just feel like they fell asleep this last game and Miami pulled it out back at home. But what do I know?
Starting point is 00:31:45 It's just talking a little hockey. I don't know anything. So if you're rooting for Miami, I'm sorry, Florida Panthers, good luck. Good luck. But I just don't see it happening. You can always email me, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. Let me know your feelings. You can always follow me on Twitter at Jeffie JFR.

Starting point is 00:33:27 playing in the NBA championship. We have the Florida Panthers, which is the Miami NHL team. And we have Donald Trump appearing at the federal courthouse. I mean, it's Wal-to-Wall coverage, Donald Trump, and he's dry, everything is wall-to-wall.
Starting point is 00:33:45 He's supposed to be in court today. He's going to plead not guilty. to the 37 felony counts against him. At least that's what they're reporting. Who knows? I mean, he may walk in and go, yep, I'm guilty. So we're assuming he's going to plead not guilty
Starting point is 00:34:05 to the 37 felony counts against him. And we're not going to see any of it. The U.S. magistrate judge Jonathan Goodman, who's going to oversee the arraignment, struck down the request from media organizations to allow recordings of the proceedings, cameras inside the courtroom. So there's no photographs of Trump inside the courtroom, no video recording of the arraignment,
Starting point is 00:34:28 and no audio recording that will be publicly released. So we just have to go with what Trump tells us. Hopefully there won't be a gag order put in place. So we'll see what happens. But the world is, our political world, is wrapped around Donald Trump today. as he, according to some networks, turn himself in. Yeah, that's what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:34:55 He's turning himself in. So we have all that news, which is just agonizing, just unbelievable, and we'll cover all that. I'm filling in the Glenbeck radio program this week with Pat Gray. So you can catch, you know, if you want to talk about the political stuff and want to know about it, you absolutely can tune into that every day. 9 to noon Eastern or you can listen to the podcast
Starting point is 00:35:19 however you want to do it but we talk we talk a lot of politics and stuff on that program no question so you know I try to stay away from it on this show because it just permeates everything and all the stories that we do
Starting point is 00:35:36 and I try to stay away from it or keep it as light as possible for this show chewing the fat because just because I can only I can only take so much. I can only take so much. But then we have what's happening in the UK
Starting point is 00:35:51 and it makes me want to think, well, you know what? Maybe the government needs to back off a little bit. The ministers in the United Kingdom are going to crack down on UK's Sex for Rent scandal. Wait, what? Yeah, apparently there was a big investigation
Starting point is 00:36:09 that exposed what they're calling nauseating practices of landlords it's praying on young women and P-R-E-Y-ing, not P-R-A-Y-ing. That would probably be a bigger expose if the landlords were actually P-R-A-Y-I-N-G. But they are praying on these young women by offering cheaper accommodations in exchange for sexual favors. How dare they? Now, I would say all the women have to do is say,
Starting point is 00:36:45 No, but I guess that doesn't work. It doesn't matter. You can't just say no. So thousands of young women and women, according to this expose, are victims of sex for rent scandal as landlord exploit the cost of living crisis and spiraling, accommodation costs. Okay, so it's really expensive. And if you want to live here with the reduced rent or free,
Starting point is 00:37:12 we can take care of a little bit, isn't it? So we can't have that anymore. No. There has to be tougher laws against landlords who offer cheaper rent and exchange for sex. Okay, so we're going against the landlords. What about the students? What are we doing there?
Starting point is 00:37:31 Because the students, you know, maybe the students, the young females, will say, hey, how about we take care of a little business and you lower my rent prices, okay? So is that wrong too? I don't know. We'll have to wait for the big expose on that. But they had undercover reporters posing as students.
Starting point is 00:37:57 And these men were offering sex for rent. Those bastards! So we can't have that. We cannot have that wherever we go. And in the United Kingdom, that will not stand. So it could be coming to an apartment near you soon. Okay, and you know what? No more.
Starting point is 00:38:21 I'm done for the day. We're done. I can't even. We've got people running around the White House lawn naked here in the United States of America, but we're so high and mighty in the UK that we don't want landlords praying, pay, P-R-E-Y-I-N-Ging against saying, hey, take care of a little business, to lower your rent. All you have to do is say no.
Starting point is 00:38:47 It's very easy. So at least here in America, at least here in the United States of America, if I as a landlord want to offer my goods and services for your goods and services, I think we can still work something out. Or you can offer your goods and services for someone else's goods and services.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Isn't that the way it's supposed to work? I thought that was, capitalism. Huh. Eh, must be just me. And I didn't even mention what's happening in Bali. I mean, the Indonesian island getaway has now kicked out at least what they're calling 136 misbehaving foreigners so far this year because of infractions, including indecent exposure. Yeah, we've got these beautiful beaches and we don't want people strolling the beaches naked. Okay. So we're cracking down on rowdy tourists. And we're trying to promote ourselves as more
Starting point is 00:39:46 wholesome destination for retirees and scientific researchers. Well, here's some news for you. Maybe the naked German guy isn't bringing in tourists, but I guarantee you
Starting point is 00:40:02 that some of the naked influencers walking the beaches of Bali is going to be bringing in those retirees and scientific researchers. But it's not wholesome. It's not wholesome enough.
Starting point is 00:40:17 So we have to crack down. And I don't want people making deals for rent. I don't want people making deals for beach umbrellas. I promise. No more nakedness. No more nakedness. Ick. Just ick to nakedness.
