So Ford Motor Company has asked anyone with the

Lincoln MKC from model years 2015 to 2019 should park their vehicle outside, you know, for now, as the luxury SUVs may be prone to spontaneous fires in the engine compartment. That's not funny at all. an automaker said the MKC's battery monitor sensor, which is housed under the hood, is susceptible to damage when repairs are made to the vehicle's battery or other electrical parts. A short circuit could overheat all of the materials around the sensor and cause of fire when the car is parked or while driving. The issue affects 100 and 42,500 and 22 vehicles.

That's according to Ford, about 1% of MKCs on the road. Now, the company said it's aware of 19 reports of under the hood fires that could be related to the battery monitor sensor problem. Of those reports, it happened in the United States. 11 happened in the United States. Seven in China, one in Canada. Now, no accidents or injuries related to the sensor issue have been reported.

Uh-huh. As of yet, I would say. Ford said it has a fix for the issue and is sending instructions to Ford and Lincoln dealerships. MKCs will have a fuse line added to the battery monitor to prevent future overheating. Ford first became aware of the monitor sensor back in March. The company received 18 reports of under the hood fires and vehicles in China and North America. It said in recall documents submitted to the NHTSA, the National Highway Traffic, Safety Administration, the NTSA, the company investigated the issue in March, April, and May,

and found that in all instances, the fires happened when the vehicles were parked and the engine was turned off. So you can still drive it. You're probably fine. The deadline for submitting receipts under their recall option is November 30th. So if you have one of these vehicles, I would I would take it in and be sure to park it outside away from anything else that could burn. Please. Wow. That's good. That's good news from Ford. At least they're on it and they're taking care of it. Right? Right. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So the Directors Guild of America, the union representing film and TV directors, said it has inked a historic three-year contract with producers

that addresses some of their biggest concerns. AI. The Labor Deal asserts that generative AI is not a person and that it cannot replace guild members' responsibilities. Gun Safety. The contract bans live ammunition on set following the death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins during the filming of Rust in 2021.

You remember, the one her death caused by, Alec Baldwin. Residuals, foreign residuals, a type of royalty that's been eroded in the streaming era, will get a 76% bump for the biggest streaming services. The Guild and its negotiating leaders framed the contract as a big win for directors that gives them unprecedented gains. The union members will show whether they concur when they vote on the proposed contract tomorrow. The Writers Union says the studios deal with directors as part of a divide and conquer strategy to create divisions among unions. So that drama still continues.

The agreement with the directors resolves just one of three high-stakes labor negotiations in Hollywood right now. We have thousands of writers still striking. They've been striking for five weeks. And we also find out that actors are also going to vote on whether to authorize a strike today, for those of you listening Live, it is the 5th of June 2023.

Now, so we may have an actor strike to go along with the writer strike, and we don't know if the directors are going to okay this deal, although they probably will. Oh, and speaking of walkouts and strikes, journalists at the

country's largest newspaper chain, Gannett, are planning to strike today over leadership and recent budget cuts. So good luck. I hope everyone gets what they want and or deserve. So we've talked a lot on this show about how so many stores are expanding their self-checkout lanes and how it just ticks me off. You know, many places like Costco and Sam's Club, who charge you to become a member and then they want you to check out on your own too.

and Walmart is just expanding their self-checkout lanes dramatically in all their stores. So really, I think it's time that would they say, hey, if you're going to self-checkout, perhaps we get a discount, perhaps, even if it's just a, you know, a 2% discount or something like that, so that, you know, we at least get a bonus, some kind of bonus, for checking out ourselves, because it drives me insane that I have to do it. And so many times it's so, it's faster. So we just give in and we do it. But I saw this post over the weekend from anti-communist.

At anti-commy, I'm sorry, at anti- underscore commie 32. And his post is titled, Found in the Wild, just wow. So I hope this is true. But I love the story, so I'm going to share it. The story begins with, so I'm at Walmart, scanning and bagging my almost $300 worth of groceries. while the employee that wants $15 an hour monitors and that this happens. Her. Why are you double bagging all your groceries?

Me. Excuse me? You're wasting our bags. If you don't like the way I'm bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself. Her, that's not my job. Okay, then, I will bag my groceries how I please, if that's all right with you. Her, why are you using two bags?

because the bags are weak and I don't want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out. Well, that's because you're putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag, then you wouldn't need to double bag. 10 seconds of me staring at her. So, you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don't have to double bag? Exactly.

So I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items. No, because you wouldn't be double bagging. Me, pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching. Okay, so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged. If I take the milk out and remove the double bag and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag, I'm still using two bags for these two items. Her. No, because you are not double bagging them, so it's not the same number of bags. Me, looking around at about 10 other customers who at this point are enjoying the show. Me, is this like that common core math stuff I keep hearing about? Her. Never mind, you just don't get it. And with that, she went

back to her little podium so she could continue texting or playing games on her phone or whatever it is she's doing before she decided to come over and critique my bagging skills. I don't know if that happened. I certainly can believe that it happened in today's world. 100%. Now, we're supposed to have Prince Harry show up and go on the stand in court in United Kingdom, either today or tomorrow. He was the lawsuit court trial supposed to be.

begin today. And Prince Harry is part of over 100 claimants in a lawsuit brought against the British newspaper publisher against the first of five pending legal cases he has launched against the media. Now, he was supposed to face cross-examination tomorrow or at least, you know, when the opening statements are done. However, he didn't show up. Oh, wait, what? Yeah. he didn't show up this morning. Apparently, he flew out. I don't know, this is what his attorney said, that he flew out from Los Angeles

after his birthday of his two-year-old daughter a little bit on Sunday. So he was on available to testify. Wait, what? I mean, the judge was a little ticked. The judge was like, I told him to be here to, in case he had to take the stand today.

And so we'll see how that goes over in court. You know, this is the first time since like 1890 that a royal has taken the stand. Pretty incredible. So, I mean, back in 1890, the future King Edward the 7th, which is also other Prince of Wales, he was the Prince of Wales at the time, took the stand because he had a reputation of womanizing and gambling. And so the case revolved around sex, intrigue, and Bacarach and he took the stand and it didn't go well he did not do well on the stand he was on the stand for about 20 minutes uh he said they he would he the newspapers reported that he was extremely nervous he kept changing his position didn't seem able to keep his hands still and when uh they

were questioning more to the point he was uh observed to flush considerably and then pale again but he won the case that's right the guy sued him this Gordon coming lost the case the judge said he guided the jury

according to reports the judge guided the jury towards siding with the Prince of Wales but it didn't hurt his reputation I mean it did hurt his reputation over the years

and so that's why they try to keep the royals out of the courtroom because they don't do well in front of a crowd like that you know a on the stand kind of crowd but Harry was supposed to show up today

in court and he didn't so we'll see what happens with that I don't know if he can you know he thinks he can I'm Prince Harry so I know they told me I was supposed to be there but I had my daughter's birthday and you know screw the court I've got things to do

all right and we'll see how that goes over all right let's go to the break room I need something cool to drink desperately All right. We're in the break room, so let's talk a little bit of Hollywood Spider-Man across the Spider-verse

grossed $120.5 million in its North American grand opening weekend, the second best domestic release of the year. My daughter went to see it this weekend and said it was really good and ready to see it again because it had multiple Spider-Man's in multiple verses and they did a great job in spreading out the verses.

Yeah, you can quote me on that. That's my review. Oh, I haven't not seen it, but they did a great job spreading out the old spider verses. We have Apple having its big, speaking of verses, going to its Metaverse, breaking into the old metaverse with its annual conference today. It's expected to reveal reality headsets and updates to, you know, up for the iOS 7th. and new Mac laptops, so we'll see what Apple has to offer

after the big conference unveiling today. And as long as we're talking about movies, I see where it was reported that Tom Cruise, a little upset. And you think, oh no, we don't want to get Tommy upset. I believe the headline was Tom Cruise is pissed off.

Ooh, we don't want Tom, pissed off. We do not want that to happen. Apparently, he's mad because his movie, Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning, Part 1, is only going to get one week in the IMAX theaters because Oppenheimer is going to take over the IMAX screens for three weeks beginning July 21st.

So Dead Reckoning is booked to play on the majority of IMAX screens when the film premieres on July 12th. It means it will only be shown on IMAX for nine days. And Cruz says, he's being on... Fairly treated. Oh, okay. Why are you, Tom Cruise, being unfairly treated? Well, I thought I saved theaters.

And now I'm being treated like this. I'm displeased with IMAX not budgeting on its plan to replace the next Mission Impossible movie with Oppenheimer. Okay. Well, Tom, I'm sure you'll get over it. And if you didn't think it was a fairer. It is official now. Yellowstone with Kevin Costner is over after this second half of season five returns in November. The network could not come to an agreement with my man Kevin Costner.

So they finally said, yep, that means it's over. Have a nice day. No more. So there's no more Yellowstone. There's no more wife for Kevin. I know he's busy working on another movie. That's the thing. Kevin, he said in the beginning that he wasn't crazy about doing TV. So he's 68 now. He's working on other projects. He's got another Western series that he's putting together.

He's got another film that he's producing. So he'd rather do film anyway. He likes to do the film and then be done with it. So we'll see how that goes. But for sure, Yellowstone is... done. At least Yellowstone with Kevin Costner is done after the second half of season five airs beginning this November. I'm sure I'm sure Taylor Taylor Sheridan that is is laughing saying fine. We'll talk to you later Kevin. I've got another Yellowstone series coming up that we're going to

create and I've got all these other shows I'm working on. So take care. Good luck. God bless. Okay, so what is happening with Jamie Fox? I want to I want to know. Has anyone seen pictures of them? Have we heard from him? What is going on? We had reports that it was because of the COVID-19 vaccine that gave him a stroke. There's reports that he's paralyzed and blind and he had the blood clot in his brain. And then, I mean, we have all these reports of this, you know, terrible thing for Jamie Fox. And I don't wish this to be true on Jamie at all. I don't know. I don't want to know about a medical state being terrible. very sorry for any of this to have happened. However, his daughter claims, hey, he's home. He's fine.

He was playing pickleball yesterday. Okay. Why don't we see a video of that happening then? If he had just a simple medical complication, why are we not seeing reports from Jamie himself? It's just really weird. I know that he, you know, the daughter is, it's sad to see how the the media runs wild. My dad has been out of the hospital for weeks recuperating. He was playing pickleball yesterday. Thanks for everyone's prayers and support. We have an exciting work announcement coming next week too. Okay. Well, then let's see it. Because I know the one reporter, Benza, is saying, uh, that is BS. That's all lies and baloney. Okay. Early on, they said he's communicating with us. We don't even know what that means. Is it sign language? Is he writing code words?

We don't know. So I just want, let's let's, let's have it. We have this shroud of secrecy around him. And Benza is also saying that. I mean, well, let's see it. I mean, why isn't he, he should do an Instagram post. He should, there should be video of him at least swinging the old pickleball paddle in the backyard, right? Recuperating playing pickleball, but we don't have it. any of that. So, which is it? We need to find out quickly. And I don't know why it would be such a big deal. I mean, I'm sorry if he is struggling to recuperate, then let's know about it. I mean, obviously, he's got an ego and he doesn't want people to see him like that. And I understand that completely. But he is, you know, Jamie Fox. He's a superstar. And so we all want to know,

on top of which, that's bad, that's bad, bad juju for the old COVID-19 vaccine, if he is going to claim that that's what caused his blood clot and stroke and all his other health issues. So let's see it. I'd like to see it, please. Just let me know. Either way, I don't want anything bad to happen. I want A.J. Benza to be wrong. I want Jamie Fox to be playing pickleball in the back.

backyard and be back to making movies and telling jokes real soon. But it appears that that may not be the case. It's all I'm saying. We do have a couple of TV stars out, though, not doing their shows anymore. Chuck Todd said he is departing NBC's Meet the Press. He's out. He's going to step down from the show in the coming months. He's NBC News co-chief White House correspondent, Kristen Welker.

will take his place. So congratulations to Christian Welker. She is, according to Chuck, ready to take over. He said, I've had the privilege of working with her from essentially her first day. And let me just say she's the right person in the right moment. Okay. I mean, she regularly fills in for him on Meet the Press. She joined NBC in 2010, became a mainstay.

She moderated the 2020 debate, the final debate between Trump and Biden. She was named co-host of Weekend Today. She will take over the show just as the presidential campaign heats up. So we'll see. We'll see how it goes. She's also the first black journalist

to moderate meet the press, if that means anything. I mean, I guess it does. I don't know that I care, but, you know, they certainly do. Meet the Press is the longest running show on American television. 75th anniversary last year. Wow.

So Todd's been there for quite a while. He's been there for, what, 10 years or more? And he's had enough. Well, enough of Meet the Press. He's going to have his new role as chief political analyst at NBC. He will serve as a key voice both in the field and during coverage of major events. He will also focus. on long form

journalism. So congratulations to Miss Welter and to Mr. Todd as he steps away from his hosting role of Meet the Press. And I see Jamel Hill is leaving Spotify. Big surprise.

She dared Spotify. Hey, I need $100 million. Oh, you do? Okay, well, hit the road. Take care. Wow. All right. Now, she says she never directly asked Spotify for 100 million. She challenged Spotify to hand

100 million to somebody who is black. I guess she really meant herself, though, or another black podcaster. Oh, okay. I'm not sure what she hoped to accomplish, but she accomplished one thing, and that is, yeah, we're not going to do your show anymore. Okay, the Jamel Hill is unbothered. Yeah, it's going to be.

She could be unbothered somewhere else, just not on Spotify. So goodbye, Jamel Hill. You were great in your time. Were you, though? Were you? Now, she claimed that she's leaving Spotify. Oh, okay.

It didn't have anything to do with the dare that she needed, they needed to pay a black podcaster Joe Rogan money. See, it's not about being black or white, though, Jamel. It's about audience reach. So I know they have their, she claims we had a difference in investment and growth differences. Yeah, yeah, because they want you to grow and then they'll invest.

I mean, I would like some Joe Rogan $100 million money too, please. But I don't have the reach of Joe Rogan. I wish I did. I'm right there. I'm just right there just underneath the Joe Rogan reach. So at some point,

I mean, not tomorrow, but at some point, Spotify can come to the table with a $100 million deal. But it won't be today. You can help it be tomorrow, though. Tell your friends, subscribe to chewing the fad. Please, make that happen.

So after two weeks behind bars, we heard where they had taken Sam Brinton into custody on the 17th of May. I told you today, if you're listening live, is the 5th of June, in 2020. as a fugitive from justice.

I never did understand how he could be a fugitive from justice if they were just already after him. Anyway, he had allegations of stolen luggage that occurred at Reagan International Airport on February, making it the third time he has been accused of lifting others' personal luggage at airports. Anyway, he has been released, or he, I'm sorry, Sam Britton identifies as non-binary

and I believe his pronouns are they, them. Not positive about that anymore. I'm not sure how he identifies right now. The former Biden Energy Department official. Anyway, he's out on bond. Good for him. The judge released Britain on $5,000 bond. All right.

Good for you to be out. He was fired from the Biden administration after charged in two other unrelated baggage theft cases. and we'll see how that goes for him. And the most recent arrest, though, as I see, they keep saying, as a fugitive from justice. Now, those were accusations on the baggage theft from back of 2018. Now, do I believe he took the luggage of the Tanzanian fashion designer? Absolutely.

He was later seen in pictures wearing some of her designs. That was from the stuff he stole from her. Absolutely. But I don't understand how he could be a fugitive from justice as they were, were executing a search warrant on this stolen property. I just, I need that explain to me. I need that explain to me how he could, and he was taken into custody pending charges of grand larceny. So he's taken into custody pending charges. He's been in jail for a couple of weeks, and they arrested him, and they keep saying it was a fugitive of justice. From what?

He'd already taken care of the other two deals. I mean, I'm not in his side, but I just, I kind of am. feel like I kind of am, like, what are we doing? Anyway, he's out on bond. It'd be fascinating. I can't wait for this to go before the court, because I want to see what up with this. I just definitely want to see what up with all this, with all these charges of grand larceny and how he was considered a fugitive from justice when they went to his home with a search warrant, and he was there. I don't understand that. So in first world problems, I know, you know, so what? You're out there trying to

to struggle, pay your rent, figure out how you're going to put dinner on the table for the kids. But William H. Macy, the actor and husband to Felicity Huffman who was caught up in varsity Blues, uh, he is in trouble because he cut down some trees

that he wasn't supposed to cut down or that he did without permission. I know. At least that's what the lawsuit claims. All right. So the neighbor says that, uh, Hey, he cut these trees down and did not have permission. He went out my property and didn't have permission.

Oh, okay. So according to this lawsuit, that trespass, negligence, and a private nuisance, the neighbor said that while he was on vacation, Williams' gardening team improperly massacred his trees. Massacred his trees. Macy's workers then destroyed and removed or seriously damn.

damaged several healthy decades old mature pine trees and other vegetation. You bastard. When he confronted Macy, Macy said, yeah, I told the workers they could go over there. That's what the lawsuit says. So the neighbors like the conduct of Macy and other defendants also caused Brown, loss of property value, loss of use of enjoyment of his property, loss of privacy, increase in noise,

as well as emotional irritation, annoyance, and discomfort. It's a lawsuit for $600,000. Now, William, of course, is fighting back. He doesn't want to pay the neighbor $600,000. So, I mean, okay. Now, according to the neighbor, he destabilized the hillside

by killing the trees and vegetation, thereby killing the root systems of the trees and vegetation that helps support the hillside stability. And they also damage the gate connecting the two properties. And now because of the damage, he's forced

to undertake significant expense to restore stability to the hillside that was lost by the defendant's destruction of the damage to my prine trees and other vegetation. And that will all help if he pays me $600,000. So we'll

see. Of course William H. Macy is one, you know, demanded that the entire case get tossed out. That's ridiculous. So, I don't know if he went to the neighbor and said, look, yeah, let the guy's on your property. Look, here's a couple hundred thousand. Sorry. We don't know that that

happened, although it's not written. It doesn't say that in the story. Just as he's being sued for $600,000 because he cut down some trees. Now, he did allow the team to go on the other guy's property and cut him down. Now, maybe the trees were hanging over in the fence, I don't know where these pine trees were.

They might have been, I don't know whose property line they were on, but don't do it. Don't be cutting down other people's trees. And this whole emotional distress over the tree massacre in Hollywood, wow, I mean,

first world problems, for sure. There was a whole huge train crash in India over the weekend killing at least 200 88 people injured more than 800. Apparently, it was caused by an error in the electronic signaling system that sent them onto the wrong tracks. That's what a railway official says.

Now, it's still under investigation, and they're trying to find out if it was a computer error or if it was human error. I know they're leaning toward human error. But after the first crash, then some of the debris from that first crash went on to another track and then that caused another train to crash. So just horrific and the footage was just horrible and it's just really, really bad. Survivors of the train disaster are calling it a second lease on life. Yeah, no kidding. And I was looking through the timeline of the world's deadliest train crashes.

Amazingly, there are none here in the United States of America. Huh, really strange. So when you start going down the list, October 2018, in India November 2016 146 people died Guess what that was in India too 2011

India crash 2010 India crash 2005 India crash 2002 India crash 1999 Indian crash

1998 India crash 1995 95 India crash And now in the world, we had, those were the worst crashes in India for sure. But in the world, you had some crashes in Greece. You had some crashes in the Congo. You had some crash in Pakistan.

You had a crash in Taiwan. You had a crash in Pakistan again. You had another crash in Cameroon. you had a crash in the DRC, you had a crash in Spain, and yet there's none of the worst crashes listed here in the United States of America. Maybe that's because we're doing so great.

We're doing so great. Listen, investing in America, the U.S. Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, and the U.S. Department of Transportation leaders, are off touring the country as we speak. They're going around the country to announce rail, Infrastructure investments. Yay! So that's great. That's great. Our president's bipartisan infrastructure package, more than 32,000 projects in more than 4,500 communities have been awarded

funding from the infrastructure law, projects that will improve people's daily lives, increase safety, strengthen our supply chains, and create good-paying jobs and economic opportunity. Will it, though? Well, that's what they say. So we've got Pete going to North Dakota today. We've got the administrator, the FRA, the Federal Railroad Administration administrator, he'll be in Fort Worth, Texas tomorrow. He'll be in Houston, Texas on Wednesday.

And I say he, I'm guessing he identifies as a he. I don't know that, though. Thursday, the U.S. Department of Transportation's undersecretary, Carlos Thomas Jr. will be in Sponsylvania County, Virginia. Then they're going to go down to Jennifer Mitchell of the FRA, Deputy Administrator. We'll go down to Broward County. So we've got good news for the infrastructure,

investing in America happening as we speak. 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. Okay, can we stop with the stupid people at Yellowstone National Park?

Please. I mean, the National Park Service warns people all the time. Don't get too close to the wildlife, okay? At least 25 yards from the bison, 100 yards from bears and wolves. And for a good reason, they're wild animals. Sure, take pictures, enjoy them, but you don't come up to them and try to take selfies.

We see people all the time. This latest one, not too long ago, over Memorial Day weekend, this lady tries to take a selfie with the bison, puts her hand on the bison, like she's going to pet the beast. And she's lucky to be alive. He, you know, started to trample her and then he lost, she fell over into the grass. And so he moved on. Does the bison, no, shoot, if I start hurting a hearing. human, they're going to put me down.

And I think that's a mistake, but that's, you know, I don't, no, let me rephrase that. Humans first, always. I agreed. So if the bison hurts the human, you got to put them down, period. But stupid humans may deserve to be hurt. I'm okay with having the stupid humans hurt and then maybe putting the bison down because the bison can be hurting humans, okay? But when the humans are being dumb, it's tough for me to be on the side of the humans.

It just is. I'm sorry. Bison are fast. They're big. I just, I don't understand it. I mean, we had the guy who pled guilty for messing with the bison, right? He intentionally disturbed wildlife, according to the reports. He had an encounter with a newborn bison calf at Yellowstone National Park.

So then the guy, Clifford Walters was his name, pleaded guilty to one count of feet. feeding, touching, teasing, frightening, or intentionally disturbing wildlife. Yes, I'm guilty of feeding, touching, teasing, frightening, or intentionally disturbing wildlife. Wow. He was fined $500. He got a $500 community service payment

to Yellowstone Forever Wildlife Protection Fund, a $30 special assessment, and a $10 processing fee. Wow, that seems like not a lot. It seems like not enough to mess with this guy. He was disturbing this bison calf in Wyoming. The calf had been separated from his mother. When the herd crossed a river, the calf struggled.

The man pushed the calf up from the river and onto the roadway. And there was nothing in the report that revealed Mr. Walters acted maliciously. He was trying to help the calf out, I guess. and so now they euthanized the calf as it was abandoned by the herd why didn't we send it to a zoo or something

what are we doing holy cow so the guy is an idiot right I mean by separate by trying to help the calf I guess what's he supposed to do the yep the calf got separated

looks like it's going to drown down there on the river we got to let it drown I guess and if the calf is separated he'll try to catch up or the mother will come back around, but not after humans have messed with it, right?

So they had to put it down, they euthanized the bison, the baby bison? Why? Give it to a zoo or something. What are we doing? That seems a little cruel. That seems a little cruel because this guy who pled guilty

to feeding, touching, teasing, frightening, or intentionally disturbing wildlife, and then the baby calf has to be put down, I don't like that You can quote me on that I don't like that I mean there are plenty of zoos out there That would love to take this baby bison

I know there is I know one supports zoos more than me I was just reading about zoos as a matter of fact The Milwaukee Zoo is all happy because they just had a baby camel A female back time camel And it's a couple weeks old now

And they want you to help name the camel. You can go to their website and help name the camel. And you can also get a chance to win a zoo ticket package for admission and four attraction tickets. You can vote once a day

through June 11th at midnight. June 11th, 2023 at midnight. And then you'll see what if you want, if you have a chance to win the zoo ticket package. And they give you three choices. What should we name the camel?

Calf, Padma, I guess which means the Lotus, Lelani, heavenly flower, or Niyoma, New Moon. Now, I'm going to vote for Lotus, but I would be willing to bet that they're going to name it Heavenly Flower. Or, well, maybe New Moon, but Heavenly Flower is probably going to get the vote. But I'm going to vote for Podoma Cent. What happens? Tell me what's happened. No, I don't want to subscribe to Zuz News. I already.

do I already get your zoo news no I this requires an answer I can't no I don't want to enter all right well I'll enter then Jeff email address you can send it to this email address Chewing the fat at the blaze.com and it doesn't tell me who's winning and who's losing the name so now we have to go back and look at June 11th and see or June 12th actually because it ends at midnight on June 11th. What they named the stupid camel. Okay. All right, fine.

Let's hope they... It's so cute. It's a cute little camel, and I'm happy the zoo is taking care of them. And then I see... Again, no one supports zoos more than me. I see stories about the Houston Zoo has their elephants taking daily yoga classes.

Now, why aren't we just streaming that? If you want zoos to get people, they should be streaming the camels, They should be streaming. The elephants doing yoga every morning. They should have a deal. Yoga with elephants every morning from the Houston Zoo. Just put it on the YouTube channel and you can stretch with the elephants.

So each day, they have 12 elephants at the Houston Zoo, and they do elephant yoga. And of course, it's part of their routine health checks. Yeah, I got it. But, you know, one of the elephants can stand on their front legs. Nice. Tess that's an awesome elephant right there

and one of the elephants is really old and is like nah I'm not doing that the old elephant is like yeah I'm not doing your yoga okay I'm gonna

But why don't they do that? I don't understand that's awesome let's have the trainers pop up and watch Tess do, you know, her yoga practice. I guess they're putting it up on TikTok, but let's do a YouTube exercise with elephants day. Every morning, exercise with elephant morning, and you two can stand on your front paws or feet or legs or whatever you want to call them, just like Tess, the elephant. Or you can stand off to the side, like the old ones, smoking the cigars, saying, yeah, no. yeah i'm not doing what she's doing okay that's not gonna happen all right let's get out of here oh i'll leave you with a you know what
