Welcome to Fat Pile Friday. Chewing the fat. Fat Pile Friday. Thank you for coming along for the ride today. We'll start out with just some headlines. Just some headlines here on Fat Pile Friday. Let's start off with universal credit driving desperate women to have survival sex. Man, do I want to go into this story? But we're just going to leave it to the headlines because it's headlines.

I do want to go into that story, though. Presley. Parkland Marjorie Stoneman Douglas Yearbook features therapy dogs. See, these stories are really want to go into, but I'm not doing it because it's headlines. Beloved Internet sensation dead at age seven. Grumpy cat. I know. Dry your eyes.

Women with psychotic disorders found to have worse symptoms. Around the time of their periods. Man, do I want to go. This is almost a headline like, duh. Oh, I'm not supposed to talk about ways. Headlines. Just headlines is what we're doing. Just headlines.

What a burger for sale in Texas. Well, they're exploring an opportunity to be for sale. Speaking as long as we're on food, steak and shake makes a $77 million. error. I would like to dig into that story, but I just, I want, personally, I hope it doesn't raise the price as a steak and shake. Ouch.

You ain't lying. You aren't lying. I just want a double, double cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake, please. How come it so much because of. Ouch. Oh, yeah, that's right. The 77 million dollar error. And, uh, this title is probably,

this headline is one of my favorites I'm upset eating healthy is too much work I want to dig into that hard but I think you can figure it out on your own I'm upset eating healthy is too much work so bad

a lawyer says his Tennessee prisoner suffered excruciating pain during execution good is there a person other than this guy's attorney who's trying to get paid from the state of Tennessee saying to themselves, oh, man, is the person we're executing? Did he have to suffer a little?

Hello, it's winter. The Premier League, as long as we're on headlines, the Premier League keeps getting richer. The world's famous soccer football league will net $5.3 billion from international broadcast deals through 2022. You aren't kidding. That's a 30% increase. That's really, really good. And two charged. We'll finish off headlines on Fat Pile Friday with two charged after video shows men urinating on Memorial for Boy Who Died.

This person should be, I don't even want to go into this story because all I want to do is put this person in town square and have him be stoned. And I know that's wrong. I know it is. I know it is 100% wrong. but I'll throw the first rock. I mean, that's tough. You get to. I need a drink already.

It's not even break room time. That's a good dance, though. Is it? Is it a good dance? Is it a good dance? Yes. So, we're going to do something right now that I am so, I am so torn.

I'm angry at the story. And yet I'm happy at the story because it proves this show correct. Okay? but it also just pisses me off because we've been lied to and I knew that we were being lied to and I couldn't prove it until now. And it ticks me off because we have the Windsor Whisperer at the castle and he didn't let us in on this. I mean, what am I paying him for? What the heck am I paying the Windsor Whisperer for?

Wait, we're not paying him anything? Oh, never mind. So we found out some news about. the new baby from Megan and Harry. I know. I know. I don't you think of more royal news? Yes.

This is the show to get it. That's two in a week. I know. I know. But it's there. This is this news is actual news that is frustrating the heck out of me. So for months, months we heard what a beautiful, we are, Megan is going to have the baby at home. We're not going to shut down a hospital.

We're not going to have it with those nasty, dirty germy hospital people. We're going to have it at home. It's going to be a green baby birth. It's going to be wonderful. We heard that for months, right? Then we heard, well, you know, the baby might already be here. We're not sure. Things are happening.

The queen came over. People are sneaking in and out. She may have already had the birth, but we're not announcing it yet. And, oh, then a few days later, oh, well, we just had the baby. had to screw up in the speech about it being a member harry said something that made it seem like the kid was alive for at least a week too i mean it was amazing so we're all just kind of like what and then we talked about the possibility we joked around about the possibility that you know megan is uh uh half breed is that a bad way to say it no she she's not 100% Anglo no and so the possibility

that the child will be another half. Why, she's at a quarter? Possible. A quarter, right? Yeah, it's a quarter, yeah. It's possible. Well, she's not a full. Well, that's what I'm saying.

So if, if she's, she, so the baby will take a quarter of the half. Yes. So yeah. If she, if you have to go from a half to a quarter to an eighth to a 60. Exactly. You have to be a 16th to get out the Indian rules, by the way. Just I could go into that story again too. But I'm just letting you know it's probably.

You have to have a 16th. Anyway, the, uh, so anyway, so anyway, So we're concerned about that. No, no, no, no, no, no. That's, you're crazy. You're out of your mind. There's no joking about that. It's silly.

They're going to have the baby at the little cottage that they've turned into this green haven of birth for this baby. And it's a wonderful thing. What Megan wants, Megan gets. And we've heard that. And we've heard that. Yeah, what Megan wants, Megan gets. Unless the queen wants something else. If the queen stops by.

you're doing that. All right. The footmen are handling it. Because you're not messing around. I mean, so we find out what today? So we were able to confirm with our Windsor Whisper. Which he should have known, by the way. I'm disappointed he didn't know ahead of time.

But go ahead. I'm sorry. He actually went to the place on Friday because the birth certificate says that Archie was born in Portland Hospital in central London. What? No way. So are we to assume then that either the doctor or the hospital lied and said, yeah, we got to say the kid was born at a hospital.

We can't say the kid is born, which is impossible to believe because if you're born on the property of the queen, that's where you're born at. You're the Windsor baby or, you know, the back 40 baby at the little cottage of love that's the, you know, that Megan and Harry lives. What are you going to call it? And not to forget that Archie is seven in line. So of course you want him to be born. I don't know.

Somewhere that is royal. I mean, he is in line. I mean, he is actually in line for the throne. Not a hundred down the line. Seven. Not if there's a catastrophe and he's the last one standing. I mean, he's in line. A legitimate line.

Legitimate, yes. So we swore up and down. No hospital birth was going to be this green baby. And now we're saying that the baby was born at a hospital. How do we not know this? We did know. We, on chewing the fat, did know it. The queen was not going to have that.

Because the queen went early. Remember the queen snuck around early? So there must have been, Megan's not, I say this tongue in cheek, but not really. She's a little long in the tooth to be having babies. I think you know what I'm saying. Even I know what you're saying.

So, ooh, that's a little scary. And so, you know, there could have been a possible complications. Well, I've had, I mean, I've been through it. not me personally having birth a child, but I know what it's like to have a female older aged who is giving birth to a child to struggle sometimes. So you know,

you need some extra help other than the footman bringing towels in. So we don't know about it. I mean, at least William and Kate, they just shut down a floor. Yeah. William is ours.

We're having the baby here. This is where we're at. hose it down. Floor three is ours. Hose it down. Nobody gets in or, no. Hose it down, bring in our stuff. Let's go.

We're here. When we bring the kid out, we're walking everybody out. Here's our new kid. Through the front door. Here's a kid. Actually pull the little blanket out so I can see the stupid face.

We're going to turn around and go back through the doors and we're going to continue to walk out the back door and hop in the limo and go home. Close it up. I mean, okay. That's good. And you're there in case something happens.

You've got the doctors there. We were supposed to believe that that wasn't, that wasn't good enough for Megan. According to Megan, the baby was supposed to be born at the Frogmore Cottage home. Okay, there you go. Right. They had special green paint, not green color, but special green paint that was, everybody could breathe and be fresh. Echle friendly. The baby was going to be birthed in Evian water, brought in directly from the freaking spring. Who knew what they were going to do? And by the way, it wasn't going to be a hospital. Our Windsor Whisper tells us that the name

that she put on her birth certificate, like her name is Rachel Megan, her royal highness, the Duchess of Suxix. Think about it. Does she get that royal highness though? Yeah. I mean,

I know it's on the piece of paper, but is that for real? Yeah, because she's the Duchess. She's the Duchess. She's the Duchess. So, yes, she's the Royal, she's in charge of the...

So she does... Because she's not trying to be in the Queen, but we don't rewrite that bad boy now. Get the red pen. Yeah. I'm going to cross that box. Cross it out. The white out or the blackout

or whatever you want to call it, but I don't want that on that piece of paper. I mean, that ticks me off. And I don't know why it ticks me off. It just does, because we've been lied to. And how do they sneak? And they're sneaking around behind the press and doing it all? Come on now.

What is going on? What really is happening? I mean, I'll tell you what's happening. We were right. Yeah, what Megan wants Megan gets, but it's what the queen wants, queen gets. Period. All right, a couple things to look forward to

as we plow through a fat pile. Friday as we're digging through the fat pile. This is a story I'm going to get into next week, but it fascinates me. I love all the AI stories and the future and all of that. And we, you know, I try to, you know, try to give you a little head of the curve on that. But I love the, what's that? And we bring experts. We do. We do offer experts because it's something that you need to know. And especially we bring lawyers, because we need to know what is. We're going to have to get an attorney about on this. And it's probably one of the people that we've already spoken to but this headline is uh and i've already started reading the story and i haven't finished

it yet to get inside of it but um digital avatars are becoming more and more uh prevalent and you know of course they're allowing you to explore you know different parts of your personality you can experiment with gender uh what else could you do with an avatar oh i know commit fraud uh there's also It's also this huge industry, right? That are letting you, you know, just be another online persona. That's your online person. And you can also now start, have voice masking that's coming with those avatars. It's incredible what's going on.

And so there's going to be some, we've got to be, we should have, we should be dealing with this now. We should not be, we should not be worried about abortion. all right abortion is bad no I mean of course we should be worried about abortion but abortion should be illegal and be done with it oh wait why what do you what do I get that for

Oh okay I'm sorry abortion is that political Oh come on Are you kidding me right now Since when does that I don't know since everything All right so just rewind a little bit

We should be worried about avatars and voice masking and some of this AI stuff that's coming down the pike before we're concerning ourselves with a lot of things that we're concerning ourselves with today. Better? Yes. Okay. You know, like a horse?

I would have closed the segment. Sorry. All right, we'll do so. Let's do some couple of food stories, all right? We'll do some food stories, just to make you feel better about yourselves. I saw this headline and Chris comes in today. Oh, look at this. This is so great.

I saw it a couple days ago. I'm like, okay. Whatever. I'm surprised it isn't in my house yet. So I guarantee you if my wife sees this headline, we'll have it in my house. And I'll do it. I'll do an Instagram live. Drumstick cereal popping up on shelves.

I cannot believe that this has popped up on shelves and it is not in my home yet. I'm so disappointed in my wife. You'll have to drive to Georgia, California, and, Florida to get it. Maybe that's why it's not in my house. Because she hasn't been to one of those students. It will be everywhere by summer. See? I mean, plus, I mean, people in Florida should be sending it to me.

What are you thinking? I love Florida. I don't know if you know this, but I lived there before. What? I know. I probably, I don't talk about it often. Did you work somewhere too? I did.

I don't talk about it often. But, you know, I'm just saying, I'm just saying someone from Florida that listens in the podcast, you know, could be kind enough to send, you know, drumstick cereal to chewing the fat here at Mercury Studios. What's our address to send stuff to? 6.301 Riverside Drive, Building 1, Irvin, Texas, 75039. Oh, 75039, right? You know why I hate that zip code?

Have we talked about this before? And then in care of chewing the fat. 750, why did you say that too? Because now I'm going to be thinking about that stupid song. Well, that's how you remember our zip code, too. In care of chewing the fat. Send it to that. particular address.

And we'll be happy. We'll do a spoon segment for you. No problem. Is it good? And, you know, you were, I just mentioned that I had lived in Florida. And a lot of time, a lot of the time that I lived in Florida, I, well, not a lot of the time, but seven, eight years of my life in Florida. I worked for a grocery chain.

I know. Yeah, I don't talk about it often. And one of my jobs inside the grocery chain for a while was a dairy manager. And so, you know, sometimes cheese goes bad. or it starts to go bad the outside starts to get to moldy and stuff well if you want to make a little extra money in the dairy department you

you can just throw the cheese away and not worry about it it's part of your deal as running a department or you can go cut off all the mold and rewrap it and sell it out there mark down sale and there's a number of people that'll buy it just mark down cheese blocks or you can eat it yourself because cheese is still good that's what cheese is

but cheese is bacteria why am I talking about cheese because at the Victoria and Albert Museum. We have five types of human cheese. Five? Five types from cheddar to Cheshire. Ooh, man, I do not really want the human chunk of cheddar. Although I say that and that if somebody were to say,

hey, we're going to cut off a slab of this this cheese made from armpit, ear, noses, and belly but bacteria that was grown in a lab until we put it together and made this big block of cheese out of it. We're going to cut it off and have a slice. You want one? Of course I want one. I'm not saying no to that. Not going to happen at all.

And then this story, a restaurant accidentally serves diners $6,000 bottle of rare French wine. This also should be restaurant. Accidentally serves diners 6,000 bottle of rare French wine. A waiter dead. In other news, a waiter has been found dead in the alley. The one thing that I like about this story is it talks about, and you know what happened, right? I mean, it was an accident, and they brought out the bottle by accident, and they served it.

And, oh, my gosh, that was the wrong bottle of wine. and they realized what it does. But it doesn't say in the story, whether they charge the people or attempted to charge the people or just bit the bullet, because the story is all about Casper mattresses. And I don't understand why would you print.

Is this a new ad plan on the internet? I guess because I tried to print it, I thought it printed it on the second page. Hey, what we're going to do is we're going to put the headline of the story. A restaurant accidentally serves diner, $6,000 bottle of rare French wine. And then when you print it, it prints out the mattress the Memorial Day mattress sales.

And it's funny because this gives a big whole line of sales on Casper mattresses. And, you know, this isn't an ad for Casper mattresses, although they've advertised here on the Blaze before. But I just saw an article, which leads me into another story, I just saw an article about Casper and another mattress company who were the originators of breaking through the new mattress world where they were selling. it online. Empire? Yeah, I mean, it's a right. It is an empire now. But they were both now just figuring out that they've kind of reached their limit. They're feeling like they're at the end. I don't think they're reached their limit. I should say they're not going to, you know, the growing has stopped. So we're at a mattress fatigue? We are, we are close to a mattress fatigue. Yeah. And, uh, you know, this is not much difference. And Casper, you know, these other mattress

companies that showed you what the differences are. And the people who have, of, are into it, into it and there has been huge but they've kind of reached their peak so now they're concerned about what they're going to try to sell next so be ready for that be ready for the casper mattress car i don't know what's coming what casper's going to try to sell me i'm all for it though self-driving casper bed car sure why not wow fat pile friday so this story why did you dance for that I hear that kind of music. I just get up. It makes me want to kick my heels.

It's all. You know, you talked yesterday. I was raised that way. Yesterday you talked on the Glenn Beck program that you lost 25 pounds. Is that part of your losing weight? Well, I hadn't thought about it,

but that's a little exercise program. You saw the footage of Mick Jagger. I did. Dancing after his heart attack. Look, there's not a lot of us that could do that. Wait, you just compare yourself to Mick Jagger after the heart attack.

I just said there's not a lot of us that could do that. That's all I'm saying. I didn't say it was, I just said there's not a lot of us I can do that. Mick looks great though. Pisses me off. He looks great.

All these guys, he's in his 70s. Elton's in the 70s. Dingleberry's Stephen Tyler's in his 70s. They're all out there performing, looking great. All look great. That blow made. Right.

Them look great. I should not have stopped doing cocaine. Anyway, Calvin, this story, there's another story that's agonizing to me. Why are we apologizing for stuff like this? Kelvin Klein. Calvin Klein. has been the cutting edge of things for years.

Fashion. He apologizes over a video that he posted. What? Well, not him to company. I know, but he is the company. It's his name. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

He apologized on social media. He was criticized for a video advertisement showing my little Bella Hadidtid, kissing a female robot. I'd like to first stop and just say, I don't really see a problem with that. I don't even know why I'm reading any farther. So, but we'll move on. The 30-second video drew backlash because how did it identifies as heterosexual?

With many critics saying LGBT models should have been used for the video. I'd like to quote my friend Pat Gray here for just a moment. Shut up! Can I quote you on that? Yes. Oh, create you or Pat Gray? Stop it. This is absolutely agonizing.

I mean, I thought we... Elton John, I just mentioned Elton John. He just went ahead his battle with that where they were trying to give him a hard time about using what's his face. Straight guy. Yeah, straight guy. Siskel and Ebert. What's his name? Eagerton?

Yeah. Whatever. Someone, whoever plays Elton in the movie. What's a stupid name? You told me to throw the story away so I don't know. What's the stupid name? I don't know. The straight guy.

How about Eagerton or Eager or whatever? Igor from Poo? Yes. That's who's playing Elton John. He's actually singing it himself. and they were trying to say that he should have been Stop it

Elton's like, no Well done That's bull crap Only you use the good word Yeah And you know what I said the good word You heard me And I think we could say that here

I mean I'm tired of being told What I can and can not say I'm so sick of the freaking word But whenever you get Elton John level I'll let you drop it What you're trying to say My back last night. Free flight.

Zero hour. I know. I hate you when you do that. I hate it when you do that. And you do it on purpose. Just do it on purpose. I need a drink now. Thirsty.

All right. Let's go to the break room. All right? I need a drink of Coca-Cola, Zero Sugar. See who's in the break. So we have an opportunity to talk to Missy Robertson, you may know her from Duck Dynasty. Her husband, Jace, is part of the podcast that you listen to here on the Blaze Media Network,

On Ashamed. Missy is author, entrepreneur, living her American dream in our world. Amazing. She has a jewelry line that is now stepping up and going beyond just selling jewelry. Missy, welcome to chewing the fat. How are you? I am great. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. Anytime. What you're doing is really good. And I know you do so many things. You've got quite a few irons in the fire.

I'm sure some days it seems almost impossible to keep things straight. I have a lot of good people around me. I will never say that I can do this by myself because that would be a lie. So really, really God has sent us some amazing people that we get to work. work with that we'll get to employ, and these women that we're talking about right now are some of those women. And when I first started this company three years ago, I thought, you know, I need to get someone who doesn't have this background of overcoming opioid addiction and drug addiction

and sex trafficking. I thought I needed someone more mainstream, someone more like me, to kind of run the day-to-day operations and then also to design the jewelry. Right. And God kind of kicked me again. So right now, everyone that I employ from my office manager to my jewelry designer down to all the girls who just are, you know, making the designed beats and jewelry and all that every day running the website, they do it all. And they all are overcoming and have overcome their addictions to all of these things. And so it's a wonderful, wonderful thing to go to the office.

every day and say, these women are not just making a difference for me in my life and my company, but they're making a difference in their own lives and for the lives of their children. So what made you, we'll just go back to the beginning a little bit. What made you realize that, you know, hey, this is probably a good thing to do and I need to do this for laminin, right? We're talking about specifically laminin.com. Yeah. Okay. Or Laminand Designs. Laminandesign.com.

The company name is Laminin by Missy Robertson. But, you know, first when I first started it, I thought, you know, this will just be kind of something I can do on the side to help some people out of my community. Soccer moms, kind of like me who don't have a college degree because that is me. I don't have a college degree. And who want to support their families who need to help support their families, but also want to be with their children. And so I thought, let's just create an environment where we get to do something fun, together, but they can leave to go get their children, take them to school in the morning, nobody's going to get yelled out for being late, whatever those things are that we as women,

because we juggle so much, can also get weary at because having to please so many, so many people. So that's what it started out in my mind. But honestly, the first round of women who came to me with their applications were from a group that Ms. Kay works with every week. and these are women who really, our tagline is women who are in need of a new purpose. And that's what these women were. And they came and they're like, we need a job. I need a job. And a lot of them, I would say most of them have been incarcerated.

They've either been in our correctional facility here or they've been in federal prison. I was just talking to someone else about a lot of the struggles that not only males but females have being incarcerated for sometimes what appears to be and I realize I got the I understand the law and everything but what appears to be something that you know maybe with some sort of rehabilitation program would have been better spent other than putting them in jail so these people are you know now hopefully you're you know getting a hold of some people that realize that, hey, you know, with a little bit of help, I can move forward and live my dream, right?

Yes. Yes. Well, some of these women who went to jail for drug-related crimes, whether they, most of them sold it. Most of them sold these opioids or even illegal drugs to keep themselves alive and to keep their children alive, really for survival. And so when they went to jail, they get. out of jail, get out of prison, and now they have to check the box on an employment application,

which they don't have any skills because they spent most of their young life selling drugs. That's their skill. They're great at being a salesman. I'll say that. They're great at that. But sometimes that's not the best. No, and the struggle is now they're backed into a corner. They've got to survive again, and they've got a box to check, as you say, and that box is a big box.

That's right. And most employers will look at that and say, No way. I'm not taking that chance. So that's something that we have the box on the application, but that's not going to say that we're not going to hire you. And it's also not going to say that we're automatically going to hire you because we just don't let that interfere with what we're trying to do. So we want to, we're going to be able to say that we can take a chance on you. Now, it is a chance and it is a risk, but that doesn't mean that we're obligated to keep you on. And a lot of these women don't last. They just don't last because it's hard for them to go from a manipulative mindset of getting something very quickly to now having to come and clock in every day and work long hours and get that regular paycheck. It's a very different world for them. And those that are willing to do it and change their lives are succeeding at it. They really are.

And they're able to break the cycle for their children. Many of them are coming from a group that Ms. Kay has. Is that also just a, you know, a group where they're hopefully dealing with struggles, you know, talking it through, seeing what the problems are? It is. It's like a community group, what they call. And, you know, Ms. Kay comes with her own background of being married to someone like that. You know, Phil was what she calls a heathen is what Ms. Kay calls him, you know, back in the day. I've met him.

My gosh, she is. That's just, oh, jeez. And so she understands what that life. lifestyle is like, but she's just so personable and bubbly and she knows the scriptures. And so she's able to counsel these women and to help them and uplift them. And so we've worked together on a lot of projects. So it's got to be. She'll say, hey, do you have any openings?

I've got somebody else. Sometimes we do and sometimes we don't. But we can work together on things like that. So as disheartening as it is to have someone come in and then not be able to do it. It's got to be, I don't know, even double heartening when you have success stories, right? It is. It is one extreme or the other. And one example is just recently I had one girl leave.

She left twice now. And in between those two times, she's a young girl, has multiple children by multiple men and has been in rehab. And after she left the first time a few months later, my office manager saw her basically on the side of the road and walked. She said she just looked like skin and bones. Her ribs are sticking out. She doesn't have her children with her. And she said, Ms. Misty, I don't know what to do. I mean, how can we help her?

And I said, tell her, because I love this girl. I don't want to see her like this. So tell her if she will check herself in rehab. When she graduates rehab, come find us. We'll give her a job. And she waited for a few months until things got even worse. But then she did it. She went and checked herself in.

And when she graduated, I said, okay, we'll hire her. And so she came and she stuck it out for maybe three months or so. And I could tell she was just getting restless, restless, restless. And she finally quit and left. And I don't know exactly where she is right now. But it's hard for them because they do have children that they need to take care of. Most of them don't have help from a hospital. None of the ones that I employ right now are married.

They're either divorced or they've never been married, but they all have children, every single one of them. So they have to figure out a way to support them. Is that their only family of the children that they have? Yes. Yes. Well, some of them have some parents, but the parents, you know, I mean, some of them are the ones that got them into this situation to begin with. That's the heartbreaking part, is most of these women, if not all of them, were introduced to drugs by their moms. Amazing.

So the website, laminandesign.com being run by you and you're trying to get these ex-addicts and, you know, criminals off the street and working hard. Are you working with other companies to try to do this for more of them? Is that something that we're looking to do in the future or right now we're just concerned with my own website and that's the way it is? Yeah, well, we partner with a lot of different companies actually for giveaways because we would like to, like, Team Challenge. We have a couple of girls who graduated a few years ago from Team Challenge. And Jase has actually spoke a few times to that organization, and we believe in that. We believe in what they're doing. There's a few that we really like to partner with.

And when I say partner, I mean usually come together, share social media sites, grow our followers, spread the awareness of what we're trying to do. And one thing that I always get from people is, this is such a great ministry, how can I help? Where can I donate? And it is a ministry, but it's a business because I truly believe that these women, they are searching for value.

They're searching for self-worth. They're searching because they want to make a difference in this world, just like every other human on the planet, but they understand that they have started so far behind the line because of choices that they have made in the past, that they have got to make up some ground. And so what I've told them is I don't really ever want to do this as a charity because that's what they've done most of their lives,

has had their handout or figured out a way to get what they could from other people. So this, they're working for a paycheck, and if this company succeeds, then it's because of their hard work, their dedication, and their talent and their skills that they've learned that they have and that they can contribute to society. I love it. Missy Robertson, Laminiddesigns.com, you can get more information there.

You can get more information at missyrobertson.com. Yes. You know, it sounds, I hope, wish you all the luck in the world. I mean, I wish. Thank you so much. I hope that everything works out and that you bring the help to people that need it and they accept it and know that they need it. I mean, that's the hardest part of it. Yes, it truly is.

Thank you so much for this opportunity. Missy, thank you. We'll talk to you later. Before I leave the break room, turn the volume up on that TV. What is that? What is that? Turn it up. Getting romantic in a customer's home after being hired through a popular dog walking app.

Yeah, the story provides some tips in this gig economy. If you use phone apps for food delivery, personal shopping, massage or dog walking. Yeah, amazing. I-team reporter Dan Noyes is here with one customer's night here. So strange. What a story. Well, Dan and Amma, the company in question tells me they do thorough background checks on their dog walking. Do they?

Do they? Is that what they tell you? But that the reported conduct in this case is unacceptable. Okay, stop for just a second. All right. So what? By the way, before you go in there, before you go in there, I just want to point something out real quick.

The TVs are to your right. Not to the left. You keep looking at the left. There's no TVs on your left side. I know. But if I look to my right, then I'm looking at the camera. Yeah, but the TVs are actually on the right. You holler at me for.

Yeah, but if you look at the TV where you saw this report, on the right side, you'll be fine. You were looking at the left. There's no TV's over there. And if you say, like, there's people watching us. I don't understand why we're having this conversation. I just want to keep you honest. The TVs are on the right. I'm honestly saying,

I don't understand why we're having this conversation. Rosie Brown has two rambunctious little dogs, Penny and Daisy. She headed out of town for wedding three weeks ago. She turned to a popular app to find a pet sitter. Get a Wag Certified Walker to walker. Okay, a Wag. certified Docker. Let's just talk about the story for a little bit. All right. I'm playing the news

report on the TV to my right or my left. Whatever the hell way I want to look. This lady who wants to go on some party and they tell you in the news and they talk to her. We want to play it. And the news report is just fascinating. It's fascinating because it's local news and it's a local news. But the case is awesome. Because this app company, the wag the dog by the nose, Which my wife does it. It's pretty cool. Wait, what? She does that.

Yeah. And she's bored. She turns it on and she walks dogs. And that's special. And that's special. Anyway, the, and I'm sure that's what she's doing when she's bored is walking the dog. Anyway, no, don't get me started on that. So the lady goes on a trip and they're going to tell you, but the app thing is fascinating

that you, it's just a simple thing. Today is so great. I mean, I mean, it's so wonderful. I, no joke. My gosh. Instead of having me just sign up and click on an app and I can have Millie show up and walk my dad. And you don't have to be home. I love it.

Now, like you, Chris Cruz, this lady's got a camera in the house. All right? She's claimed we'll find out that she told this lady there's a camera there. She didn't get it. and she tries to talk her way out of it. So great. I don't think it worked. But let's go back to the I-Team News on fire.

At a moment's notice. Rosie met 26-year-old Wag Dog Walker and sitter Casey Brenge. She had 210, five-star reviews. Nice. I'm thinking, okay, this is great. They agreed on four and a half days of house sitting. By the way, walks for 350. I want to go back to how reviews help.

It's 20 stars, best podcast ever when you subscribe to chewing. the fat because it also that's look it worked for wag the dog and she had 203 five stars right not 20 stars by the way like chewing the fat anyway go ahead $10 and discuss the doggy cam on the kitchen counter it also shoots out treats wait stop do you don't have that also shoots out treats yeah it's so cool how come I do not have this in my home because you don't have a dog I don't want the camera I just want to think to shoot out treats his doctor's not human treats put whatever treats you want in that thing, I bet. I don't think so.

I think you can. I mean, it's not manufacturing dog treats. You're putting it in there, right? No, it is actually manufacturing. It's actually taking, creating dog treats from scratch. You have to put the ingredients and you bake some, and you press a button and the tree shoots out. That explains why I don't have one. Go ahead.

Ziana, and on the day of her cousin's wedding, received an alert from the camera. Oh, no. On the preview of the alert, it showed. Oh, wait, what's the alert? Boop. That's the alert. No, she got a different alert. She got the Chris Cruz alert.

They didn't knock on my door alert. It was agonizing. But go ahead. A man in our house. Someone that I wasn't expecting. So I opened it up. And that's when I saw that she was there with a man in our house. And they were going straight to our bed.

So right then, why you don't do anything? I mean, I guess that's okay. I wait. Yeah, I mean, your house isn't being destroyed. No. And you're guessing probably nothing is being stolen. And if. And if there is, you have.

video evidence of this man. If you knew you were going to be gone, you wouldn't have anything worth while left out, probably that could be stolen. It's worth a lot of money. Yeah, I know. It just seems like, you know, where you keep the jewelry and the gold bars and stuff and the safe would you go away, right? A liberty safe.

Yeah. The video shows Casey's boyfriend at the apartment on several occasions at one point locking the dogs outside the master bedroom. How come she didn't get an alert the other times? Yep. she only got the alert the one time at the wedding or she just blew off the other alert

she wasn't worried about it I don't care it's just a dog walker yeah okay on another going from the master to the guest bedroom after several days of texting

Casey Brengle finally agreed to speak with me on camera okay so now they catch this lady walking around the house a couple of doesn't say that she was later okay

because we're getting to milk it They have to milk it, you know. I-Team News is... Probably a minute and a half in. What is it? It's a 6 o'clock news. It's 30 minutes.

Get to it. Wrap it up. Edit this thing. It's why you're working for I-Team News in the middle of Bum. Egypt. Is it a sweepst week? It's always sweeps week on television and I-Team News. Okay, it's always.

We're here to help the community. All right. Go ahead. Because he finally, so he texts, he's tried to get a hold of wagged the dog walker. Are you the girl? or do you meet with the guy? Not a chance. Not me neither. I don't know if you know this, but this is a helpful rule from the chewing the fat broadcast. You do not have to answer the press. Are you sure because she's listen.

She believes that you were having sex in both of the bedrooms. Okay. So again, right. I mean, there's no way she, she could believe she wants to talk her way out of this, right? I mean, maybe she's making a good living walking dogs and if this pulls off wag the dog people say have a nice day. By the way, 16 bucks. An hour. Okay, so that's a good wage. I mean, what's wag taken out of that, though? Oh, I don't know.

I don't know that percentage, but still good. Oh, that your wife did it. It's her money. I don't pay attention to what she makes. Dude, you and I need to talk about who runs that house. But okay, go ahead. It's okay that she believes that that's not what was going on. What was that?

Father and mother also visited, even though the WAG guidelines say it's Walker's and sinners should not allow any third parties into the home of the pet parents. That's fantastic. That's fantastic. bring the whole damn family. She's like, hey, look at this. Did she forget that there was a camera? She did. I think she did. I think she forgot about it. Or she did not believe that it was a camera. Well, right. Oh, that's the thing. That just spits out treats. I'm enjoying them. Or you know, or you have people that put fake camera, which I don't understand. Wow.

Why are you paying for something fake instead of just buying the real thing? If you're going to put a camera in. Yes. Times the camera caught Casey naked on the couch the Rosie Brown had saved for 60s. I mean, how can you answer that? I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed. I-team news blurted out. I'm a little disappointed. It was not a good tonight. It was not a good view.

I don't care. I want to say. You know, there's never, it's never, remember yesterday when Stu was talking about when women are protesting?

I do. And I'm 100% for those protests. Usually are not those people that you want to see naked. That's incorrect. It's the, the, it's not those people

that you want to see naked multiple times. Months to buy. It got hot. And as I said, I don't like wearing clothes. So Jeff Fisher I don't like wearing clothes

I got hot It's somebody else's house I didn't think maybe the AC is broken So Jeff Fisher If I'm asking you a question Why were you naked at this lady's house I like I get hot And I don't like wearing clothes

And I just thought you know Hey nobody's here And I'm here to walk the dogs And I'm not going to walk the dogs For a couple more minutes I might as well just get naked And hang out on the couch It got hot

And as I said I don't like wearing clothes to see that video where she's just butt naked, you know, sitting on it and laying on it. That was really hard because... Okay. So this is the lady that owns the joint. All right. And she's the joint, the house owner.

It owns the joint. And she's all bummed. She won't sit on the sofa where she said, okay, that's a little much. I wouldn't have seen on a sofa either. Oh, yes, you would. Stop it. I'm cleaning it. You've got the filthy dogs running around, breathing, pooping and pee it everywhere.

And you're worried about this naked lady sitting on your sofa. Stop. Yes. You know, we just spot it. I don't lay down right there, you know. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, really?

Oh, really? See, he's on my side. Oh, really? You're not even laying on your stupid couch anymore? Can I have it? We're going to try to sell it online. Let's see who comes to the house. Yeah, that's actually, that used to be my favorite spot.

Oh, I'm sorry. That was my favorite spot because it was a big corner. By the way, that couch is now famous. So do we, I think Glenn is to buy it. It's part of history. I said they're cleaning it, though, right? right in the middle, but I don't really touch it. She can't sit on her favorite spot any longer because she has the image of you being naked on that same spot.

Do you understand that? I do. I do. I do. I do. I feel terrible about it. It's not, you know. It was not something I did with intent or with malice.

She tells me Rosie allowed her boyfriend to come over for dinner on a previous job, but that she did not clear any visitors for this session. Oh, so, wait a minute, stop. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. She did give the go ahead for a boyfriend to come over. Those are news. That is news. Where's the IT Monday? Sure, I told her that she could bring the boyfriend over for dinner one time.

Okay, well, you open the door. By the way, I don't like how they buried this on the two minute, 40 second in. Oh, I let her in. And by the way, she was butt naked. She cannot sit at her spot anymore. Right. It's all horrible. That's buried.

She gave the go ahead to let boyfriend in. So she probably gave the go ahead. Look, I'm going to have boyfriend and mom over for dinner. Okay. Is it okay? I guess. I won't be there. How about no? We need to come over and walk the freaking dogs and leave.

Documented Casey taking the dogs out for just one to five minute potty breaks. I love that. Not the 30 or 60 minute walks. Usually ordered through the wagg app. We'll see, that's the thing. That's how you get the money. But again, that he had a camera. Just freaking fake it.

Go out, sit on the porch. Tie the dogs up to the porch and sit out there. Unless there's a camera out there waiting for somebody to knock on your door. And it caught her cursing at Daisy after the dog had been playing rough. Okay. Is that really appropriate? Is that really appropriate? I don't know.

Is it Bill from I-Team News? Do you ever swear at your dog? Well, she called her a bitch. Is that inaccurate? I don't know if the dog is a male or a female. Did we ask the dog the gender? No, we didn't. No, it's not.

She had been acting like a jerk. And I agree, that's not appropriate. was frustrated not at her at myself, at other things. I had done in a fight with my mom. I was mad that I had to have clothes on because I like to run around naked. You know how it is when you get hot. And I agree it was not appropriate. After Rosie Brown complained to wag and eye contact to the company, they suspended Casey Brangle and sent.

After Rosie complained to wag and I contacted the company. The I team a statement that reads in part, the reported behavior in the situation is unacceptable and contrary to our community guidelines. Is it? We expect everyone on the WAG platform to conduct themselves professionally. These are my dogs, so I know how difficult it can be to find a good walk or work pet sitter. As for WAG, I contacted the Better Business Bureau, and they tell me the company has had a rocky few months dealing with consumer complaints. The BBB has received 47 complaints about WAG since September 2017.

Why are we blaming the company? It's not the company. It's the duchess. Yeah. It's not the company. Right. The company is setting you up. Now, and A, I mean, this, look, she brought her boyfriend over.

They got permission. Got permission. No stop. Before that, before that, she brought her boyfriend over, and they're busy having sex in every room in this lady's house. You know they are. I mean, that's just what's going on. Not that I would ever do anything like that, but that's just what's going on. She's not, oh, my gosh, it's hot in here.

I've got to be naked. Stop it. I mean, what are we living in the caveman day? like, you know, oh, it's so hot in here. She doesn't have any, I don't know, air conditioning in an apartment. Okay. So, I mean, maybe she shut it off for the trip. Maybe she had to a power company shut it down for the three-day trip.

I don't know. The dogs don't need air conditioning. Shut it down. They're going to be shooting out treats every hour anyway out of that stupid machine. I've got making treats up there on the counter. So her and the boyfriend are busy, you know, doing wag the dog business all over the apartment. But she said that he could come over.

Now, I'll give you, you know, she didn't say, obviously, no, we can't come over every day and, you know, have sex with you at every room of my apartment. But she got the go ahead. All right? She got the go ahead of having the boyfriend and the mom over, or for sure the boyfriend anyway was reported. But mom showed up too for one night.

The hell is mom doing there? Checking the house. That I still. Right. I said, oh, there's no bad apartment, it's okay. Oh, she put the table there and not over there. How much she paid for this, Joe? A couple of two bedrooms with the dog and stuff.

She lives by herself? Huh, weird. I mean, all right, let's go back to I turn. Because he's, brother, he shows up with his own dogs. He's doing his own report. He's doing, this is editing. He shows up, these are my dogs. For things like not applying credits properly.

Walters not showing. This is where you're right. That's where we're beating up Wag the app. For no reason. This is not Wag's fault. I'm sorry. it is not he's mad that he didn't invest in wag the dog app business so maybe it's his ex-wife's business let me it's the i-team news reporter's ex-wives wag the dog app business i don't know keys money

or other items stolen and dogs getting loose on the walkers time oh no no don't you're telling me you're out walking a dog and a dog got loose it happened to me uh yeah that happens i don't know in real life when you're walking your own dog Dave wagon F for the way it addressed complaints, change it to NR or not rated while they worked for the company to help them improve their process or responding to and resolving consumer complaints. And this week,

awarded Wagon A Plus for the progress they made. Oh, so everything's okay because they've made great progress. We've talked to them and they're making great progress. Thanks, Wag the Dog by the Nose app. I mean, I love the idea, though, that I don't understand. I want to see the footage. I need to see the...

the entire footage. The raw footage? I need to see the entire raw footage before I make judgment on this. It's so bad. Well, you can't be... I mean, are we really that dumped in today's world? Are we that dumb?

This whole thing. The whole thing, we're beginning to end. From the dog walker to the lady, why is she giving the go-ahead to have the boyfriend come in? Because she wants to be nice, right? She doesn't want to be seen as nice. I don't know.

If I say no, she's going to bring him in or she's going to not treat my dogs right or whatever. I mean, if that's what you think, contact dog, wag the dog by the nose at people and say, give me someone else then, right? I mean, I'm so weird. I love the idea of, I can't sit there anymore. Another naked human being sat there that I don't, that walked my dogs. I let her in my house and everything.

She ate the dog treats to spit out of my camera machine. but because she was naked I can't sleep there I've you said she was in both your bedrooms I guess you can't sleep in those anymore either because you know that what was going on in there right I mean it was wag the dog by the nose

that business going on in there I mean have you re you thrown out all the sheets you can't wash them and lay on it again you can't wash it clearly right and by that time she made I mean I would have cleaned the sofa already right she's waiting until wagged the dog

by the nose app people pay for it. Instead, all this time she's just going to sit. I just sit down way over here in the corner. I just can't be over there. I'm in my own house and I'm scared to sit wherever I want to sit. I can't take it. A reminder to subscribe

I know. It was a quick interview with Mark. I had a couple other things I'd like to talk to him about as well. Me too. But he was on and off and I was coming up the next segment and now they got rid of him. I was like, oh, man, I talked to Mark. I talked to him. There.

I need your help. I need your help. And I'm looking at this camera because I want to tell people that I need their help, but the camera is not pointing at me. And I'm waiting. It is 12.30 and no one has called. So what is going on? I look at why is this camera not pointing at me?

And why is my phone not ringing? We got issues. I mean, we have big issues. We don't have as much of an issue as a Clearwater attorney. A couple more stories than I'll get you out of here on Friday. I know it's Friday. It's a big long weekend coming up. If you're listening live on the 24th of May, you know, you've got the big long weekend, three-day weekend coming up.

And by the way, speaking of that big long weekend, when you're going to get the usual Saturday alert for a Saturday podcast that we have. And then Sunday and Monday, you may miss a couple of alerts. Why? Because they're not going to be a show. You're so lazy. You're not going to be a show Monday. All the other hosts have done a show for Monday and you haven't done a show. That's got to be a lie.

Don't believe me. If they have, if those. They did a show. That pisses me off. But oh well. Oh, well. You know what? Yep.

I'm lazy. I'm lazy. I'm off. You know what? I'm celebrating Memorial Day. I'm taking my family out and we're going to celebrate Memorial Day as a family. And we're going to remember. Yeah, but they're not missing time with their family, though.

They pre-recorded it. We're going to remember Memorial Day and why we have Memorial Day. So it's important. So I was going to tell you about this lawyer in Clearwater who is in trouble because he video. This is, see, he's in trouble because he videotaped it. I don't know if you know this. This is another rule from chewing the fat. Oh, let me get my pen out.

Okay. You don't have to videotape everything you do in life. Oh, but you do, though. You do not have to do it on Instagram. No, you don't have to do it on the video. No, you don't have to do it on the video. You don't have to put it on your story. You don't have to put it on your Facebook story.

You don't have to put it on your Instagram story. But you have to. You don't have to go Instagram live. You don't have to go Facebook live. You don't have to record it and then upload it to your page. You don't have to do any of that. Then what do I do with it? Hey, that's just it.

You don't. But anyway, I know people must. So this particular attorney is out on his boat. It's Florida. Everybody has a boat in Florida. You don't have a boat in Florida. What kind of loser are you? So, a second.

A second investigation. This is a waste of money. This is a waste of taxpayer money. This Clearwater lawyer has seen in a viral video shoeing a raccoon off his boat. Now he's got a raccoon on his boat. He's 20 miles offshore or so he says. Why didn't he just say, I sent it by video

I was 20 miles offshore? We were right there. We were right there by the land. We weren't 20 miles off. The raccoon swam back to land. I saw him. Isn't that international water so you could do whatever you want?

Ooh, that's a good point. That is a good point. But you're going to have the world court after you. Because so now the Florida bar is looking into it for, is not specified which part of the rules of professional conduct. Yeah, because it isn't any. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has also been investigating. Have they?

So that's more money. Investigators on there. Right. But they be doing something else. I don't know, going through people who are applying to hunt alligators. Oh, I'm in. Now, he's issued a statement apologizing for his... I can't take it.

He's issued a statement apologizing for his action saying he should have taken the animal back to shore. I am so sorry. I should have taken. No. No, you shouldn't have taken the animal back to shore. You should have... They move. They move a lot.

They move quick. I mean, now my boat is sinking because I missed the other shot. so I got holes in my boa going down. But, you know, it's fine. We're okay. We got rid of that. The raccoon is dead, though. The raccoon is dead.

There's no question about that. But start, so you have just a couple of days left until the 27th of May to apply to get your permit to hunt alligators in Florida. So, two big Florida stories. You got a guy that hates raccoons kicking them off into the water. I'm a fan. The raccoons. Raccoons are nasty. They're nasty.

They're nasty. And plus, they got. have rabies. Yes. No. No, no, no, no. You're lucky I didn't. Ooh, was that a little hole in the side there? Yeah. Plug it up. Plug it. Give me some of that skin of the raccoon. I got to plug the hole. You can't touch. You got rabies. Oh, yeah, never mind. We're going to sink. So anyway, you have until the 27th to hunt alligator in Florida. Now, I find this fascinating

that I don't do this every year, but there's only, and they only allow, you know, only allow so many. But the alligator harvest permit cost $272 for Florida residents. $22 for those with a disability hunting license. That's what I have. That pisses me off so much. So hold on. So how about how about that?

Do the comparison again? 272. For people like you. For a Florida resident. For people like you. $22. For people like you. I was with a disability.

Like me. Oh, that's just ridiculous. Now, this next one, if you're a non-resident, costs $1,022. Ouch. So I'm saying that perhaps Florida say, you know, we took a drawing this year and everybody that won is a non-resident.

I know, right? Weird how that happened. A thousand bucks? That's too much. Those selected to receive a permit. Now, that's the whole thing. You can apply. You might not get it.

it. Is it like the hunger games? To the state to charge you money. So like hunger games. Yeah. So, and you only get two

alligators, a maximum of two. I'm sorry? Two gators, that's it. There's like a thousand in that one ditch. You get,

don't be messing with Gatorland. Gators. No, not those. Not those. I'm talking about the other across the street. So,

you get the permit. If you're lucky enough to get drawn for the permit, you got to pay money. for it, whether it's a couple hundred bucks, almost $300 or $20,000, or lunch money. People that have a handicapped license.
