Well, here we go again. The two men who alleged they were sexually abused as children by Michael Jackson can revive a lawsuit against his companies. That's what a U.S. court has now ruled. Wade Robson and James Safechuck, both in their 40s now, claim that Jackson had abused them for years while they were boys. now they can now pursue the block lawsuit so okay i mean the accusations were featured in the documentary leaving now the neverland which you know the family described as a public lynching it most definitely

was that in 2020 a los angeles judge said no you can't sue jacks at the businesses saying the companies didn't have a duty to care to him then in 2021 the same judge ruled against mr robson on similar grounds. But last week, an appeals court in California said, no, that's a corporation that facilitates the sexual abuse of children by one of its employees is not excused from an affirmative duty to protect those children merely because it is solely owned by the perpetrator of the abuse. It would be perverse to find no duty based on the corporate defendant having only one shareholder. Okay. So anyway, it gets deep and here we go again. So be right. ready for the lawsuits to be covered by every mainstream media outlet possible because they're

looking to bring Michael Jackson down. If he wasn't down enough, these two want to bring it down even more for, you know, I don't know how many millions will make them go away. But whatever it is, they haven't received it yet. So they're looking for more money from the Michael Jackson world and they will probably get it. Who knows? I thought we were done with it. But no, no, we are not.

Because here we go again. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Speaking of Neverland, Disneyland Paris employee, oh wait, this is Disneyland. I thought it was Neverland. Sorry, I got those too confused.

So a Disneyland Paris employee apparently was fired after guests complained that he refused to put both whipped cream and Nutella on their waffles. Well, he should have been. Damn it. If I went to his little waffle stand and wanted whipped cream and Nutella, why not?

So the employee identified as this 20-year-old Loris Tabaru was working at La Chirayette's food stand that sells waffles with various toppings, and guests asked for both whipped cream and Nutella, according to his dismissal letter. Now, he told them

they had to choose one of the toppings. Nutella or whipped cream, which according to him is standard policy. If I had given them both toppings, other guests in line would have expected the same special treatment, and he would have been in trouble for going against the theme park policy. That's what he says. And now the guests complained and said that his tone to the Disneyland Paris customers were nonchalant.

Well, it's just being nice. He wasn't being mean. I could only give you one. All right. So he believes that he was dismissed as part of a witch hunt because he took part in industrial action strikes earlier in the year. His name and photograph were published in El Mon and an article about the strikes. He said, I loved working here. The only time I failed to bring the magic to life, I was immediately fired.

Oh, okay. Well, he took part in the strikes in May and June in pursuit of an annual pay raise. and, you know, they showed workers marching through the park with French strike laws allow them to do, and the strikes are paused by now, but I guess they're going to resume in September. More strikes coming here in the U.S. too, by the way, we'll get to that in a little in a moment. But Disneyland said, we do not comment on internal procedures related to individual situations. So, do you believe Disneyland saying, dude, you are not. nonchalant and you were mean to these people and wouldn't put whipped cream and nutella on their waffles.

And it wasn't so much that he didn't put whipped cream and Nutella on their waffles. It was the way he went about talking to these people, right? That's what they complained about. And so instead of that, they gave him the boot. Or did they give him the boot because he finally got a complaint against him and because he was part of the strikes, then they were able to use that to get rid of him. I'm kind of on his side here. I kind of feel like that was the open door to say,

oh, yeah, sorry about it. Take care. You should have been nicer. We don't want you around anymore. Kind of on his side here. Feels that way. We'll see what becomes a waffle boy after this case. See if he goes before the Disneyland courts and gets his job back.

Not at the waffle stand, though. No. He may get his... job back, you know, picking up trash at the park, but you're not working at the Waffle stand anymore. Sorry about that. And I mentioned strikes. I mean, we've got strikes all around this country. We have the United Auto Workers Union. They're going to vote this week whether to authorize a strike, which they're trying to jack up pressure on the big three Detroit automakers during tense labor negotiations.

And the UAW's contract with the car companies expires on September 14. so we'll see what happens with that. You know they're going to authorize a strike. You know, they are. They just are. Everybody wants more money, and they see this as their time to get it. We have the Writers Guild and the actors guild.

They're still striking. Amazing. I don't know if that deal. I don't know how close they are to making a deal and getting Hollywood back up and running again, but it just kind of feels like it's not going to happen, doesn't it? We've got the hotel workers out in California striking as well.

It just feels like it's not going to happen. now we had UPS striking and they reached a deal, or at least they threatened it to strike. And it looks like, you know, that is a done deal. And they reached a deal before the expected strike date. That would have been huge. We could not have put up with the UPS strike. They'll give them what they want, period. Period.

And there's going to be all kinds of labor strikes later on. The country is just well better than since this. particular administration took office, isn't it? Think to yourself, are you better off now than you were two years ago? I mean, we all know the answer to that. Well, we know that according to reports, the thing that is better since the last couple years are the rats in New York. I know.

They claim here that as of the January to April 2022, New Yorkers called 311 to report 7,400 rat sightings, up from an estimated 6,510 during the same period in 2021. However, there might be light at the end of the tunnel because the rat calls to 311 decreased 26% this June compared to the same month a year prior.

So, are the calls decreasing and the rats going up because people just figure like nothing has happening? And there's, you know, there's nothing going on. I mean, overall, they're saying that there's a 15% a downward trend for rats in New York. I guess they have new garbage policies in New York, and you can't put your trash out. Businesses and homeowners, you can't put your trash out before 8 o'clock at night. So, yeah, you put it out at night.

You don't see the rats come out. It's a pretty simple problem. So I didn't realize I missed the anti-rat day of animals. action in New York. That should have been a fun day. But Ruth McDaniels, a local activist and Harlem Tenets Association president, was out there. And she is also running for city council, I believe, in New York. And she may be running again as well.

So Ruth was interviewed on a local CBS station. And she talked about how big the rats are in New York. New York. We've had rats the size of crocs. Just running up and down the street. Like a crox shoe, average size eight, running up and down the street. That seems to be a problem. I was just going to throw that out there.

That seems to be a problem. I've seen some big rafts. In New York, I was always disappointed that I never did see the monstrous rats. I saw plenty of rats in the subway tunnels, you know, waiting for the subways to show up. But they weren't big ones. I saw rats sometimes about the... trash, you know, once in a while. But it just was disappointing to me, personally, that I never did see the monstrous size rats.

But we'll see New York is working on it. That's what they say. They say, no problem. They've got the rat czar who's trying to fix everything as far as rats go. Kathleen Karate, C-O-R-A-D-I is the head of the rat patrol. That's an old man, rat patrol. I don't know what year that show was on. But this is, she is the rat czar.

And she is talking about rats need food, water, and shelters to survive. Yeah, we know. And so, well, you know, that's the problem, Kathleen. We know. So apparently today with their, you know, rat day or anti-rat day, we're going to cut off their food source and reduce their habitat and take away the places they can live. Are you? Are you? Because I know PETA doesn't want to kill them off.

They believe rats are social beings. But I believe we should do anything possible. Humans first. And rats are vermin that spread disease. So I'm all for anything you want to do to get rid of rats. Because nobody wants. Nobody wants rats the size of crocs, the size of eight. average size eight running down the street.

No one wants that. We've had rats the size of crocs. Just running up and down the street. Like a crox shoe, average size eight, running up and down the street. Like I said, no one wants that. No one wants that. Ruth is right. And I know that they have their interactive rat information portal,

the rat map that you could go to. So you can log on to that and see if, you know, see where the rats are. And it'll help you out where you want to shop. or not. And we've seen the videos of the rats on the subways and the rats in the hallways of buildings and hotels. It's just, uh, Kathleen, uh, the rat czar needs to, uh, needs to up her game. Well, that's what she's trying to do when, uh, she got everyone together for the first

ever anti-rat day of action. So hopefully Ruth McDaniels can, uh, can relax a little. But I doubt she will. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

I'm not an Apple user, but years after Battery Gate, apparently some iPhone owners are going to be getting $65 from Apple. Whoa. So remember they were accused of purposely slowing down older iPhones with aging batteries to push consumers to buy more phones. What? Yeah. They faced millions in legal fees and customers files complaints. So now they're getting, I guess they're getting some money back. Good for them. They're getting some money back. So they get 65 whole whopping bucks from Apple. Okay? That's awesome. I know. I know. And I see also where Apple is now having, you know, big to do over their headphones. Apparently, the new headphones, if you exceed a seven-day limit on audio. levels, it's automatically turned down per, you know, guidelines from the World Health Organization. Now, I believe that there's a way that you can go into the settings and change this,

but it's still, it comes with that annoying feature, which is just agonizing. I know, I know, it's agonizing to me as well. I don't even have an apple. Apparently, that means that I'm old because I just saw a story the other day that talked about how Gen Z said that Androids are for old people. Oh, yeah, they're outdated. We use iPhones, okay?

That's no problem. 87% of teenagers have iPhones and they do not have any plans to switch to Android. Oh, okay. Now, I will say that, you know, a lot of people get Android because they're cheaper than iPhones.

But also, you know, what we need to remember, here in the U.S., 57% I think are iOS users and 42% are Android, but worth 87% of the young people using the iPhones, as I said. But globally,

71% around the globe, or if that or whatever you prefer, are Android owners, and there's only 28% of iPhones. So as big as Apple is, It's not as big as Android globally,

but I'm sure that the iPhone teens don't care about that. It's medieval. Yeah, those are the same Gen Zers, nine out of ten of them, that would rather text than talk on the phone. Many of them describe phone calls. It's a phobia. I can't talk on the phone.

I'd rather text. then have a conversation. Oh, okay. Yeah. It's the leading change among young people to avoid talking on the phone entirely. Now, you know, I kind of understand it a little. You know, when you're in the middle of a texting conversation

with someone and then they call. And I'm guilty of this as well. But I'm just saying, you're in the middle of a texting conversation. And I'm like, I just let me talk to them and let me call. and it's it changes because it changes the dynamic immediately because you know you're texting you lose that verbal non nonverbal communication and you even get that over the phone even more in person obviously but you know on the phone texting you have to put a ha in if you're trying to be funny

or a smiley face or a thumbs down whatever when you're trying to be a smart ass because there's no smart as font If you want to make a million dollars, there's an idea for you. Come up with a million, come up with the smart-ass font that people can use while they're texting and make it available to everyone. But that has not happened yet. So just know that I understand the process

because sometimes it's just easier to text. You don't have to react right away. While you do have to react right away, it's not the same as if you're talking verbally. And you can change, you can, you know, you can change what you say before you text it. It's, you know, it's a different thing. It's a different animal. I get it.

But to just completely lose talking to other people, wow. I mean, we are, we are developing some good, good people out there, aren't we? Yes. Yes, we are. Oh, and speaking of getting 65 bucks from Apple, we're coming up at the end. This week is the end. the Friday, if you're listening live, today is the 21st of August, 2023. You have until Friday the 25th to file if you want to be a part of the $725 million

meta payout class action suit, right? The company is paying for up to, for allegedly sharing its users data with third parties. Yeah, no kidding. And I remember talking about this before because I feel like 725. million is nothing but it's over the Cambridge Analytica and so if you were a Facebook user between 2007 and December 2020 you can be part of the class action I have to remember to fill this out myself too because I was sadly on Facebook then and so yeah I want my piece I want my I want my ten bucks I want my I want my ten bucks and

hopefully maybe it'll be 12. Maybe less people will sign up for the class action payout, and maybe it'll be 12 bucks. Huh? I know. Something to look forward to. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. What?

Well, we'll start off with Chris Paluso. Chris Paluso has died at the age of 40. Best known for his roles in Mamma Mia and Wicked. It's confirmed by his family That he has passed away He is his alma mater The University of Michigan Hail to the Victors

The Michigan Wolverines Shared an emotional tribute To the entertainer earlier this week And so rest in peace Chris Paluso No, it doesn't say what he died of Okay, no cause of death has been revealed But it can't be that

So why don't you shut up Don't even think that Don't you know what, don't shut up Just don't even think that, okay? Because it isn't that. It can't be that. Just because it doesn't say what he died from, there's no cause of death revealed.

Just because they don't say that doesn't mean it's that. Okay? So, stop it. Chris Paluso, dead. You know, suddenly at the age of 40 for no reason. Rest in peace, Chris. Don't even think it. Don't even think it.

Now we have a couple of deaths that kind of PSAs. Okay, this is just a PSA from chewing the fat. It's a PSA. It's a CTF PSA. Okay. So an unidentified pedestrian, and I don't know that I would call him a pedestrian, but okay, you want to call him a pedestrian, you go ahead. Has died in Nashville after he was run over by a tractor trailer. Now, he wasn't really walking as a pedestrian.

He fell asleep. between the tractor's axles. And so when the guy, the truck driver, came out and checked around his truck, everything was fine, didn't see anything else all good. I came out, I checked, everything was good,

nothing unusual. Then I felt a bump as I pulled forward. So apparently the man was sleeping between the second and third axles of the tractor. So it's a PSA. All right, just a PSA. I don't know what kind of crank drugs you're doing. I don't know if you're really tired or drunk.

Perhaps. Not perhaps. Don't. Don't fall asleep underneath a semi-trailer and tractor. Okay? Just don't do it. And especially don't fall asleep, you know, on the tractor's axles. Because that's an issue when it wants to leave,

as this unnamed person, pedestrian, found out. The next PSA comes to us from Verde. Virginia. All right. The police in Manassas, Virginia, are investigating the death of a 25-year-old man who allegedly fell under a moving train. Here's a helpful hint. Don't be around close enough to fall and be hit by a moving train.

You're welcome. That's a PSA from chewing the fat. So apparently, you know, they tried to rescue him. And obviously he was, you know, dead on the scene. and very sad. Several witnesses told detectives, hey, he tried to jump on the train and then he fell in

in the process. So there's another PSA. Don't try to jump on a moving train. Oh, people do it all the time. Yeah, they do. They do do it all the time. They do do it all the time. However, sometimes

you miss. And when you do, that's a bad thing. so if you miss doing what you do all the time it's going to affect you and it did so rest in peace unknown person for trying to cross the train he wasn't trying to get across from the train he didn't fall walking next to the train he tried to jump on the train

and fell in the process very sad so just just note that don't sleep between the second and third axle on a semi-tracked trailer and don't try to jump onto a moving train. You're welcome. Now, let's move on to births, shall we? We talk a lot about death every day on who died today. Let's talk about births, okay? According to this list, Japan had the largest total drop in population since 1968.

The U.S. population is flatlining as birth rate stagnates. China's fertility rate hits record low. Singapore's birth rate falls to a record low. UK births hit 20-year low. Italy's birth rate drops to historic low. South Korea breaks record for world's lowest fertility rate again. So we need to start picking up the pace. Say, use an example of, oh, I don't know, Nigeria, shall we?

Nigeria is expected to nearly double its population in the next 27 years. Right now, the country that is slightly bigger than the state of Texas is projected to match the U.S. population by 2050. Oh, okay. So that's pretty good. That's a pretty good sign of the growth of the African continent. They are having children, okay? They are having children. Now, I know we just topped 8 billion on the planet a little while ago,

and I think India over to China is the most populous country in the world. They've been battling it out. I don't know who's on top right now. All right, stop. It's just write your own jokes. But they haven't battled back and forth, but India will prevail in that battle. Nigeria is booming, right? I mean, in 82, they had fewer than 80 million people.

and now they have 225 million people and they plan on you know 377 million by 2050 so that's monstrous for Nigeria and many African countries are booming as far as population they are having kids and I guess you know look

they're now you have to worry about education and health care and housing and food and water energy security all of that employment for all the people I mean, they have how many people, the percentage under 30? It was a huge percentage of people under 30. Yeah, okay, well, the continent, which is the fastest growing continent, has 70% of the population under 30, not just Nigeria, but the entire continent of Africa.

So that's pretty up for as far as the world is concerned, and growing. So we'll see how it goes. I know that that's explosive growth on the planet, which is good for Africa and good for the countries in Africa. Might not be so good for us. We may want to think twice about being happy about that. But that's just me.

That's just me thinking out loud. What do I know? With AMX 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. I told you that we were going to get some great headlines

from the self-driving cabs in San Francisco as they got the green light to go 24-7, the cruise in Waymo Robo taxis, to operate autonomous cars around the clock in San Francisco. And I said, we're going to have problems. It's going to be great. I'm just going to let the health. headlines happen for themselves.

Well, now they are going to go ahead and cut their fleet by 50%. Because, well, we've had a few issues. So sure, we had like 10 of them just shut down because cell service stopped and blocked traffic in the party part of town, you know, all the bars were all the nightlife were, or was or is. And they just shut down. They were just, you know, giant boulders on the road. Well, so they had a crash Thursday.

night that injured a passenger inside a cruise driverless car. How, I must say that if I was in a crash in a robotaxie, I would have been hurt as well. That's just me, though. I'm sure the passenger was actually hurt, though. I'm sure, no question about it. Ow! Ow! My neck!

My neck! The robo taxi was hit by a fire engine that entered the intersection on a green light at around 10 p.m. Thursday night. The engine was on its way to an emergency scene. And so, okay, no problem. It's a fire engine. So we're driving here. We're robo taxis.

So apparently their car detected that an emergency vehicle was approaching and began to break, but was unable to stop before the fire truck crashed into it. Okay. The second crash happened on Friday, according to this. in response to the crash. Last night, one of our vehicles was proceeding through a green light, was struck by another vehicle running a red light at a high rate of speed. Well, that's not their fault, although it's just another accident on their books.

The vehicle detected the vehicle and brake, but the other vehicle made contact with our vehicle, no passengers in the vehicle in the robotoxy at the time. So the other vehicle was treated and released at the scene. The other vehicle ran a red light. when you only just get a ticket because he hit the Robotaxie? That's got a BS. Well, I mean, what are you going to do?

He had a Robotaxie. Nobody was in it. You ran a red light. Here's a ticket. You're fine. You get out of here. I got to tell you, if I was in that car, I would have been hurt as well. Oh, my neck. My neck. Yeah. I know I ran a red light, but your Robotaxie was part of my crash. And, ow, my neck, my neck.

Again, that's just me. So that's just me. I'm not recommending that for anyone at all. Then we had another crash where they found an adult male driver, a passenger and their car as well as the autonomous vehicle. The driver was treated for non-life-threatening injuries by medics. So there was significant damage to both vehicles after the crash. And, of course, the male human driver was at fault, but that drugs or alcohol did not appear to be the factor. So again, humans are the problem.

overall, they had, well, they shouldn't have, I mean, they tried to break and the fire truck hit them. So again, humans are the problem. If we just had autonomous vehicles, we'd be fine. If we could just get rid of those damn humans. Well, we're working on it. We're working on it. So it's okay. It's coming soon to a city and a state near you.

So anyway, like I said, there's more headlines coming from the robotaxies from the cruise in Waymo. autonomous cars. But they're cutting their fleet for now by 50%. Just, I don't know, maybe they got in car wrecks and they can't drive them anymore. Or the cell service is bad. Remember, they blamed that on the concert

that was going on and the cell service was overwhelmed. So they couldn't reach the cars for 10 or 15 minutes. And they just sat there doing nothing. Oh, okay. No problem. Don't worry about it. So more headlines coming from the, from the robotaxies in San Francisco. I'm

sure in the coming days. I see where Dallas is in the news quite a lot lately, and that's where this show originates from the DFW Metroplex. But I see a story this weekend talking about their county jail has surged to 97% capacity. So officials are not looking at overflow options. Yeah, one of those options is going to be, well, we just might as well let something go. I get about here. No problem. We will work on trying to get funding. to build a bigger jail or a new jail. How about a new building over there? But for right now, we're going to let some people go.

All right, get out of here. You're fine. And I see where a Dallas County judge has ruled the prostitution ordinance unconstitutional. So I guess that means less people going to that county jail. So apparently this all stems from a guy who claims he stopped to give some women money for food in Northwest. Dallas in last year in 2022. Uh-huh.

Dallas police officers, that's what he said. Don't be looking at me. Dallas police officers witnessed what Giovanni describes as an act of kindness. They saw it in another way. They pulled Giovanni over at a nearby gas station and accused him of violating a city ordinance meant to combat prostitution. Now that ordinance has been ruled unconstitutional.

The ordinance prohibits manifesting the purpose of engaging in prostitution. Okay, stop it. Violating it is a classy misdemeanor, and people cited under it could be fined up to $500. Someone can be cited if they're a convicted prostitute loitering on a street corner, but anyone who reportedly beckons to others or tries to engage them in conversation on the street or attempts to stop a vehicle by waving, hailing, or using any other bodily gesture could face arrest. So before an officer can arrest someone, subjects must be given an opportunity to explain themselves now,

but cops are free to reject the explanation if the person arrested can demonstrate a lawful reason for their actions in court, they shouldn't be convicted. Isn't that special? Yeah, we don't believe you, so we're still going to arrest you. You can make your case in front of a judge. And so really, wow, you still may end up getting arrested because I'm sure that even if this was in place,

when Giovanni said he stopped by, the police, he would have pled his case, and they wouldn't have believed him. Here, he pled his case, and they didn't have to make a choice. They already knew what their choice was, and that is going to go ahead and give him a ticket and to arrest him. So the decision that the law is too broad

if it punishes both constitutionally protected conduct and illegal activity. Yeah, no kidding. The ordinance targets lawful behavior, such as talking to passer, and waving at cars and that enforcement is up to the officer's discretion raising the threat of

bias. Yeah, yeah, yeah it is. So the police body and dash camera video of the stop doesn't show any type of violation under the ordinance. Instead, the footage only shows Devani being stopped after the alleged offense. So there you have it.

I would say always have some sort of takeout container with food in your car if you're out soliciting for prostitution so you could tell the officers, hey, I was just wondering if they were hungry and wanted to give them some food. I wasn't soliciting prostitution, officer. So good luck, good luck. Then I see where the Dallas County Sheriff's sex-based schedule policy is discriminatory.

Uh, you think? So this is the same jail that does 97% capacity, I think. I'm pretty sure that it is. the Dallas County, apparently the Dallas County Sheriff's Department that allowed male officers, only male officers, to take off weekends. Yeah, well, the Fifth Circuit Court said, yeah, no, that violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I mean, it violates working rights. Give me a break.

Why would you even do this? Now, apparently, nine female officers sued the department, and it was, they didn't lose their jobs, but because of the work policy, they weren't fired or denied promotion. They just were told, yeah. Now, only the men get the weekends off. You don't. In today's world, we're doing that?

Okay. Now, apparently, once the sheriff found out, they reversed what they were doing. So, now it was never official. It was instead a decision made by one supervisor, and it was immediately reversed when learned. by the next level of supervision. So it was some douchebag who was in charge and said,

no, women aren't getting the weekends off. That's only for men. And they changed it around. But the court said, yeah, no, that is illegal. And the rulings of the Fifth Circuit, according to Michael Maslanca, law professor at the University of North Texas at Dallas, called the court's ruling a win for workplace rights. I mean, why did we this?

I don't know why this had. go to court. I don't know if they got money. It just seems like this is a common sense thing. People work and everyone rotates their time off, no matter what it is, male or female. It just

doesn't, it's weird that it had to go before a court to figure that out. But, you know, okay, good for them, because it's silly. It just doesn't make any sense to me, why that would be the case. And what kind of douchebag would actually say that's funny to me. Yeah, you women, yeah,

No, you don't get the weekends off. Only the men get the weekends up. But to them, to them, it wasn't really so funny. You know what I'm saying. All right, I'll leave you with that. Well, it isn't really a joke of a day, but it's something that is just,

It is awesome, and I would love to see it someplace.

You climb up through the middle of the smokestacks, the kids, well, the kids, you know, yeah, of course, it would just be the kids. You climb up through the middle, the stairway is underneath the smokestacks, and you get up to the back of the ship, and then you slide down. And on the outside, it looks just like the Titanic. It is awesome. And I would love to have that show up at a place of business. There may be some people that would be a little upset about that. Not me, though. Not me.

My kids are climbing up on that bad boy and slide down. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
