Welcome to it. How in the world are you?
I ended yesterday's podcast with looking down at my phone and my wife was calling me.
And I thought, I'll make it into a bit.
She's calling me.
She probably wants to ask me, hey, what do you want from the store?
All right, I picked up the phone.
And I get, hey, you know, hey, what's going?
I'll make it into a bit.
You know, I'm on the air, all that kind of stuff.
And I find out that, uh, no, no, it wasn't really a good time for a bit.
Because she was in an automobile accident.
And I said at the time, before she told me that, I'm like, you know, for the bit, I'm like, you know, I'm recording.
I don't care.
Oh.
Guess that's because of the accident.
All right.
So, yes, she was in an accident.
If you follow on social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio.
Twitter is at Jeffrey JFR.
You know, we, I believe I shared the pictures if I did and I will.
But, you know, totaled the car, total of Tahoe.
And so I get there.
And I'm on my way, I leave here.
I'm wrapped up.
I leave, get my stuff.
I'll be there.
I'll pick you up.
On my way, is it they?
heart of the storm here in the metroplex i mean where i was going is the heart of the storm as i'm
driving to go there to go where the accident is my phone alerts are going off saying immediately
seek shelter seek shelter now the rain is storming it's blowing yes those things were going off
they went off like five times yesterday afternoon i believe probably four of them during the time i
was driving. Amazing. Which is actually when one of those went off is what actually kind of caused the
accident. So my wife is driving down one road and there's there's other cars on the road,
which is a mistake. First of all, let's be clear about that. But there was, you know,
there's a, you know, it's a three car and one, the third car up, not the car directly in front of her,
but the next car goes to turn into a assisted living facility, old people's home. But it was
It's not an old people's home because there are people that are still functional.
They shouldn't be.
We'll get to that in a moment.
But so as the one car goes to turn into the parking lot, the horn goes off.
One of them is right there.
You know, one of them is right there by the, I mean, wakes.
Those things are loud when you're right by them.
And so even Amber said, you know, she was with my daughter Maya.
They both looked because.
I mean, it started going, it was right there.
And the person going into the assisted living facility
instead of continuing to pull into the parking lot,
stopped.
Half turn, stop.
Because the horn went off and they're scared, right?
Shocked them.
So the guy in front of my wife makes the stop.
Just missed.
He said he locked them up.
But it was raining and storm.
but he didn't skid enough to hit that car.
However, my wife was not so fortunate in the stopping instance.
Right.
Slams into the back of this guy.
The guy's got the big spare tire juncture on the back of his car.
I forget what kind of car was,
but he's got the big spare tire on the back of it, you know, in the back window.
So that's what she hit.
And the whole front end of the Tahoe is smashed in.
It looks really bad.
Ouch.
You ain't lying, ouch.
Big time, out.
And the kind of thing is going nowhere.
I mean, it's total.
I mean, it's back into there's, you know, the radiator and everything is back into the engine.
The, uh, it's the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
the, the, the, the, the, the, the, you're going nowhere.
Battery fluid leaking everywhere.
You're, I mean, they're going nowhere.
So, uh, I get there.
And, uh, everybody's okay.
Now, she's, I should say, you know, my daughter's got some seatbelt burns and my wife, you know,
wife you know i think screwed up her shoulder a little bit we're going to have to deal with that
that's what a wimp and uh so we're going to wheel with that deal with that which will be taken
care of today for some reason she didn't want to take care of it last night i know don't look at me
i tried uh so and uh where was i going with this that uh it's heard of so well so but the point
is is that the car is traveling right so the airbags don't go off now it's actually with
with my wife and my daughter in the car who are both about the same height,
then they're not.
I don't want to say they're height impaired,
but,
you know,
they're shorter people.
And,
you know,
my daughter is 11,
so she's a shorter human.
And,
but the airbags didn't go off.
So I'm kind of glad about that in one sense because, you know,
they just smashed you into the face.
However,
isn't that what they're supposed to do?
Like,
uh,
when you hit someone at,
say,
30 miles an hour going forward,
the airbags are,
supposed to deploy and save you in parentheses?
It didn't happen.
Now, apparently, my wife looked up that that particular year of Tahoe has an issue with airbag
deployment.
Huh.
Huh.
I'm not saying General Motors, call me, but General Motors call me.
So I get there.
And, you know, her car is still in the road.
It's not moving, you know, they haven't moved it.
The bumper is laying in the middle of the road.
Cars are slowing down going by.
Some yard guy came by and put an empty bucket with a trash bag on it in the back of the road
so cars weren't coming up close to my wife's covers.
I thought, thank you.
Right?
Whoever did, whatever yard guy did that?
Good job.
I'm sure you're an American and not.
You know, one of those other people that are working in the yards.
And, you know, those un-Americans.
You know what I'm saying, don't look at me like that.
You know.
So,
So,
It's just a joke.
So I get there and
there's no cop.
My wife said at one point,
a police officer
drove by.
It was still storming out.
And he slowed down.
He's like, oh,
man,
look at that accident.
I am not getting out,
though.
It's raining and storming.
I got to pretend like I didn't see this.
Keep going.
What?
Isn't that what you do,
Mr.
Police officer?
Right.
Thank you.
you.
So, I mean, he just keeps going, and I don't blame him.
It's storming out.
I'm going to bother with an accident.
It looks like everybody looks like, yeah, it looks like everybody's standing.
There's nobody in the car.
I'm keeping going.
So one of the constables shows up, and he's there when I get there.
And, you know, they're exchanging information.
And I, you know, I help.
I go out and I help him.
We get the car and we can finally get in the car because the doors you got to crank over.
You can't even get out.
I mean, my wife was tough to get out of the car.
She climbed through the back and yanked open the door.
the rider's side door far enough to get my daughter out because, you know, my daughter's starting
to freak out because she can't get out. She's like, I can't get out. And my, you know, then my wife's
freaking out, which, you know, I don't blame her. But so the doors are hard. So you can't, you know,
I got to go in through the other side to get the car, start to turn the ignition, get it in neutral.
And you got to put your, you got to put it on a break to put the car in neutral. So I got to reach over.
And the door won't open. So then I got to go back around and open the wind car window so I can
turn the steering wheel as we're trying to push this thing out of the road, which we finally did.
And a couple of people actually stopped and helped, which was nice.
Those were the nice people.
But those were not the people in the assisted living old people's home.
Okay.
So we finally get the thing off the road and I go inside and I borrow a broom from one of their due people at the facility.
And it's just a little sweet broom.
It's not a push broom for the road.
but I wanted to get some of the stuff out of the road,
you know, so the traffic could get back on the road.
And then, so we did that, we took care of that,
and the constable says, okay, I'm out.
Everybody's fine.
You got a wrecker on the way.
All the paperwork is, you switch insurance between you and everything.
Yeah.
Talk to you later.
I want to see over here, you know, in private.
So there's not going to be a ticket or anything.
Nope.
horrible weather conditions
no problem
nobody was
badly injured
insurances will take care of it
I'm fine we're out of here
thank you
see you later
so I love that
I'm a fan
I'm a fan
because when you
I don't know if you know this
I have actually done the same thing
only just not as bad
I have not totaled a car
by hitting someone
rear-ending someone
but I have done the same thing
where you know you're making a right
say you're coming off the road
and you're making a right onto another road
and there's a car in front of you.
The car in front of you takes his foot off the brakes.
So you assume they're continuing forward.
And you look to the left to see if you're going to be able to go
while at the same time the person who took the foot off the brakes in front of you
decides that, oh, I'm just going to hit the brakes again.
And you hit them.
Oh, I'm so mad.
So mad.
The last time that happened, I'm banging on the steering wheel.
I'm so mad.
The guy gets out of the car like,
he doesn't want to come up any farther.
He just stops.
like this guy's going crazy in his car.
I don't want to see him.
Like, I'm fine.
We just stop for, dufus.
And I had them all talked into everything was fine because it didn't do hardly any damage on my car.
There was a little dent on his.
Had him all talked into, we're fine.
Get out of here.
And the wife gets out and comes around and goes, I don't know.
I think we should call the police where there's insurance.
No, we shouldn't.
Shut up.
You shouldn't say that to another guy's wife, by the way, because then he gets pissed off and then he has to call the police.
That's just to help.
him from me. No. You're welcome. You're in that incident. You don't say, no, it doesn't. Shut up.
Yeah, that doesn't go over well. Anyway, so back to my wife. So, everything's fine there, right?
We're taking all the stuff out. She's got camping stuff in there and everything. We know the car is total.
We know it's total. So we don't want to have to, wherever they're going to tow it and whatever the insurance
company is going to do with it, we want to be, you know, it's sad, but we want to be done with it.
I don't want to have to go,
I don't want to have to go on the other side of Fort Worth, Texas,
to go to the junkyard to empty the car with whatever I want in it.
You know, do what you got to do with it.
I'm done with it.
So we're downloading it, we load it all up.
And then here comes the wrecker.
The wrecker guy pulls in.
Now, where we push the car into is the facility has two entrances,
one where we're at, and one down a little farther.
and it's just the parking lot that brings you back around to an opening gate on the side that we're on.
Okay?
So if you come in right off the road on our side, you just pull in and the gate's off to the right.
Otherwise, you have to go up and you come back and you cut through the parking lot and you come back to the gate.
Just another entrance on the same road.
It's a two-lane highway but with the big median in the middle.
So there's nobody making left-hand turns into the facility.
You've got to go all the way up to the light and come back around to make it right.
into this facility.
So we pushed it into that driveway,
and the dump,
or the, it should have been a dump truck,
the tow truck shows up and pulls it next to it,
so it's blocking that entrance, right?
Because he pulls in, and it's,
and it was a he, by the way,
don't look at me like, well, the he, yes,
and it was a male dump truck driver
and a tow truck driver.
And he parks and he says,
it comes out, he takes a look,
and we're talking,
And this lady who lives in this place pulls up, stops, right, stops in the road, stops traffic,
almost got it to causes another accident.
She's just looking at the tow truck driver like, what are you doing?
You got to move.
She rolls down her sideway down.
My wife walks up to the side of the curb and says,
You're going to just have to go up to the next entrance.
You know, we're telling the car here.
We're getting, we're getting out of the way.
I can't go to the next entrance.
I have to go in through that gate right there.
I live here and I'm handicapped.
And I'm like, um, no.
So she pulls up a little farther and she's just going to sit there and wait.
Traffic is backed up and she can't make the turn.
So the tow truck driver is like, boy, times have changed, huh?
People used to stop and ask if you needed help.
Now they just tell you to move.
Get out of the way.
So he moves, he's going to move his toe truck.
He moves his tow truck up enough to let the traffic in
because he's got to back up to our car anyway.
He had just pulled in.
It was just a person being a bitch is all.
This old lady,
scull up to the next entrance and cut through the parking lot.
You don't have,
the other thing is that she's elderly.
And the only way she knows to get into her apartment complex
with the gate is to go in at this driveway.
I'm sure she probably didn't even know that driveway.
existed the next one up, you know, the whole complex that you live in.
So she backs up and then she's backing up and she backs up in other lanes.
I mean, I found myself wanting to see another accident because this lady made me so mad.
I just couldn't believe that she was that dumb.
I mean, I walked up to her at one point at the same place where my wife had been standing
and I went, just go up to the next dream.
driveway.
And she didn't even say a word.
She just looked at me like she had no idea what I was talking about.
So then she pulls into the driveway and she stops.
And she goes to take a picture of my wife's car.
So that at least the tow truck driver gave her a big, you know, smile for her picture.
And I'm like, I started to holler and, you know, again, my wife saves me and says, just leave her alone.
I wanted to, I wanted to be so angry with her I couldn't tell you.
I was just angry with the situation.
But if this person should not be driving,
no, I'm not talking about my wife now.
I'm talking about the other lady.
Some strange that they're both females I'm talking about.
Anyway, the...
Ouch.
It could be out if she hears this.
It's just amazing.
So that's what happened.
We're facing, we're dealing with that now.
I'm going to have to go find a new automobile.
Go through this.
General Motors, call me.
No deployment of the airbag.
My daughter and my wife are in the car.
You're lucky they're okay.
As okay as they are.
Because now we're going to have to check out.
You know, my wife's shoulder.
Oh, I'm a car.
But hey, it's only a car.
It's only a vehicle.
My wife and my daughter can't be replaced.
The car can be replaced, right?
Did that sound good like I really met that?
Because I wanted to.
You know I really meant it
All right
So I'm reading a story about Kit Harrington
And if you don't know who Kit is
He's a big star from Game of Thrones
He's been you know
Lord Snow
John Snow from Game of Thrones
For the last you know
Eight years eight or nine years
And he's a you know
He's a big star now
Big time big time star
He's married to the
The Redhead from Game of Thrones
Who's you know they were
They had a big thing during the show
Rose Leslie
And
I wish I had a big thing
Anyway, so, you know, he's in love with her in real life and he's all married and he's, you know, he's kind of a short guy and he's a good looking man. He's a good looking man. I'm just saying he's got that, he doesn't have that rugged handsomeness. He's just a good looking man. But the story is, is that he has checked himself into rehab because of alcohol and, you know, the stress.
Kit Harrington.
This guy has been doing Game of Thrones.
It's been nothing but on top of the world for the past nine years,
maybe even 10, depending on how, I don't know, Game of Thrones has been, you know, eight to 10 years, right?
In that window.
So he's drinking too much and he's got way too much stress.
And it's just ahead of the show's ending.
It really hit him hard.
You know, I just had the show coming to an end and I was drinking.
I just didn't.
I didn't know.
So he puts himself into this luxury rehab.
place in Connecticut. Now the rehab
place, I mean,
that's like the, that's like the
existing living place that my wife crashed
in front of. I mean, he gets to
go out, he walks around the town,
he gets to go out, he wants, stop
it. Kid, what are you doing?
You got too much money.
You got way too much money. Stop
what you're doing.
He does. He does. He's got way
too much money. He's got way too much
went to his head from Game of Thrones.
Oh, this show's on
I mean, I love my wife and everything,
but I feel like I'm drinking too much alcohol these days.
The show's coming to an end.
I'm not sure what character I'm going to do,
and John Snow was going to do some bad things in the show,
and I just, I need to get away.
I need to be in a rehab facility that can, you know,
make sure that I don't drink
and help me mentally get through this time.
Well, sure, I want to be able to leave and, you know,
not completely dry.
I don't want to be able to walk through town and buy
and get things I want
and go to, you know, events that I want to go to and everything,
but I want to be able to have to come back to rehab.
Shut up.
Stop it.
Stop it.
You have to wonder that these rehab facilities look like sandals resorts.
Why would anyone want to leave?
Thank you.
And the only reason they want to leave is because sooner or later,
their manager says, uh, kit,
the $100,000 a month is starting to get a little thin, bro.
And the wife is like, you know, I really like to keep the house we have in,
in Spain.
I know we just bought it,
but I'd like to keep it.
So maybe you get out of rehab
and come maybe, I don't know,
rest here with me.
Come on.
Stop it.
It's agonizing.
Now, I do have an opportunity for you,
though, a good opportunity
speaking of Hollywood.
And, you know, the muckety mucks
of Hollywood and the world,
world global.
It was an opportunity
to double date
with George Clooney
and I'm all Clooney.
I actually would like to do this.
And so George called me.
Just give it to me.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care that he's, you know, he might,
he and I probably don't see eye to eye on a number of things.
But we see eye to eye on enough.
And she sees, she's this great attorney who's helping kids all over the world.
I'm a big, I'm a fan.
I'm a fan.
So I'd like to win this.
So they're giving an opportunity to have a,
lunch with them in Italy at their home in Italy.
Okay.
I'm in.
And here is George Clooney, the video that he cut, and they're doing it for their charity,
you know, so they can make some money for their charity, the benefit the Clooney Foundation
for Justice.
And so they, what's good.
I'm good with that.
I'm good.
You know what?
I'm all for the Clooney Foundation for Justice.
Well, here's George telling you how to have an opportunity to have lunch with the Clooney's.
Hi, I'm George Clooney, and I'm here to invite you to come to Italy with my wife and me.
Cut, let's stop there.
George, can you please do the intro the way it's scripted?
Sure.
From the top?
Hi, I'm Amal Clooney's husband, George, and we'd like to invite you to come with us to Lake Como.
It's kind of funny.
You sure that's how you want me to say?
People love Amal.
She's really the selling point here.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
That's right. To benefit the Clooney Foundation for Justice, we're inviting you and a guest to go on a double date with Amal, a world-renowned human rights lawyer, law school professor, and a leading thinker on the concept of justice throughout the world. And me. An actor. Just picture it. You and Amal wine in your hand discussing current affairs while her husband quietly serves lunch. Really, why don't we do a take where it just says,
Amal will be there and I won't even be there.
That's probably a good idea.
That is a fantastic idea.
Let's do that.
I know.
I know.
I know.
You know what?
I don't need a script.
I'm just going to speak from my heart.
Hi, I'm George Clooney.
Amal is one of the most intelligent, compassionate, and impressive people you'll ever meet.
And I am the two-time sexiest man alive.
I played Danny Ocean in the Ocean's movies.
I was on a little show called ER in the 90s.
Oh, and you guys like superhero movies?
Well, I was Batman.
I was the only Batman with nipples.
Did a little show called Baby Talk.
People say it's the quintessential show about talking baby.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I was on.

and People's Sexiest Man Alive from a long time ago,
go to amaze.com slash Clooney.
And just to reiterate, a mall will definitely be there.
I also have Brad Pitt's home phone number.
I think I could give to you.
George, George.
That was so informative.
Thank you.
But can we please just go back to the script?
No. No. Okay, we're done.
Go to amaze.com slash Clooney.
The best part is every donation benefits the work
for the Clooney Foundation for Justice.

But I actually do.
I want to go, so we're going to find out exactly what you have to do.

They're going to be somewhere else.
You can be flown into Italy,

I still want to do it.
Enter now, but what do I have to do to win?
Do I have to, let's see.

What?
Okay, so, 250 entries to win, donate $25,
donate $10, 100 entries, donate $25.

They were going to make me donate money.
for the foundation.
I can't just enter.
What?
So you can donate money to.
You know, the Clooney Foundation for Justice through Omaise.
And good luck.
Good luck because I don't know if I want to donate money.
I'm willing to go to lunch with them.
I don't think I'm willing to donate money.
But, you know, for $10,000, maybe I'm in.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need a drink of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar desperately.
Oh my gosh.

Don't, don't tell him.
Don't tell him, Taylor.

So, I'm just saying that it takes, congratulations.
Congratulations for the $10 million.
Really, I mean that.
No, no, no, no, stop.
I don't need that.
I don't need that.
Oh, you asked for it.

Ouch.
Okay. But what a rip off.
All right. Come on.
I mean, congratulations. It's a good deal.

Why is he winning?
Uncle, this isn't me.
No, I can't be jealous.
You have to be happy for him.
That's why you don't win. It's because you're jealous.
That's why I don't win because I'm jealous.
I got to be right.
You got to be happy for these people.
Yeah, you know, we'll pay off some bills and invest the rest.
Oh, shut up!
I guess he doesn't.
I guess he doesn't because he says they'll have a brighter future.
Duh.
You got $4.4.2 million.
Ouch.
But that's still, if it's still $4.4.2 million.
Yeah.
So you got to.
a couple of kids. You throw a mill in a trust fund
each for the kids. It still gives you a couple million.
You pay a couple of bills. You still live
large. You can live, well,
well, you can live lar.
But he doesn't have kids. I don't know if you can want to live large.
You know, that's what it said. It didn't say anything, but he said
then it comes down here and he talks about his two
young kids. So he does have two kids. I thought
he didn't because he just talks. In the beginning, he just
talks about my wife and I. Wow,
what a jerk just didn't mention the kids right of that.
It's just my wife and I. We'll talk about the kids later.
Then it down at the bottom. Oh, that's right. I got the two
kids I got to pay for.
So maybe the wife doesn't know about the two kids.
Anyway, he needs more than the 4.2
mill when the wife finds this out, I'll tell you that.
Ouch.
You ain't lying.
You know, speaking of having money.
Speaking of having money.
You know, the other day, we talked about McKenzie Bezos, joining this
giving pledge where she's going to donate, you know, all her money or half her money
or whatever it is when she dies.
She's got to give this giving pledge.
You know, you give away your assets.
when you're alive or when you die,
but you signed the pledge of,
you know,
philanthropy.
And,
you know,
Bill and Melinda Gates have done this.
Warren Buffett has done this.
You know,
McKenzie Bezos is big.
She just signed the giving pledge.
And,
you know,
hubby Jeff,
congratulator and said,
what a great job.
Side note,
Jeff Bezos has not signed
the giving pledge.
Why?
Because it's dumb.
But anyway,
so why would you know,
the richest guy in the world?
He'll give us some money away.
All right?
He's just not going to give it
all the way to your silly little giving pledge.
But all these people, there's all kinds of rich people, rich in parentheses people
that have signed the giving pledge.
We are signing the giving pledge here at Chewing the Fat.
I want to be a part of the giving pledge.
Sure, it'll be like 20 bucks.
I know that.
Sure, it won't be as impressive as $37 billion.
Okay, whatever.
But I still want to give my money to charity.
I still want to help as much as I can.
I still want to be as philanthropic as I can possibly be.
And okay, so it might be only, you know,
I said 20.
50 maybe.
Yeah.
If it's 50, if it's 50, yeah, that's what I'm getting.
You aren't lying.
But I want to be a part of it.
We're making a deal.
We're doing a YouTube signing of the Giving Pledge for Chewing the Fat.
Chewing the Fat is doing that because I want to be a part of it.
And if you, as a listener of an avid listener of chewing the fat,
want to participate in the giving pledge with us here,
we're going to do,
we're going to make a thing out of it.
I'm serious.
I want to,
I mean,
they can't have all the fun.
They'll get all the press and all the ink.
Because they've got, you know,
$37 billion.
So my money counts too.
I count two.
I matter too.
I'm a human being too.
McKenzie.
Warren.
William Gates
thief who stole your stuff for Microsoft
my money counts too
we're doing it though
so email me at chewing the fat
at the blaze.com
chewing the fat at the blaze.com I'm telling you
and I'm looking right at the camera right now too
so if you're seeing this I don't know how
but I'm looking right at you
we're doing it we're doing it
all right
all right you know who I really wanted to talk to
was Amanda Eller
She's the lady that was found alive in the forest in Hawaii
after she'd been missing for more than two weeks
And she she kept telling herself not to give up
She suffered a leg fracture, abrasions on her ankles
And severe sunburn
And when they found her she seemed to be in good spirits
And was in good condition
You know why she was in good spirits and good condition?
Because she was lost in a Hawaiian forest
That's like heaven
she just didn't have a chair
she looked for her as she found a stream
she's living out there living off berries
off these wild bushes
okay I know you
I'm sure she I'm sure for the first couple days
she was maybe lost
and after that she's like
if they don't find me
I'm good out here anyway
just homeless and Bora Bora
yeah you know I'm out here in the little
I got the stream I got the leaves
I'm living here
and say Akuna Matata
now I've talked about
having app
overload.
That's not what I called it though.
It's app fatigue.
We have app fatigue.
I mean, everything, we're being bombarded with new apps all the time and they're
creating new content.
NBC just launched a streaming service.
Targeting, now they're claiming targeting younger viewers.
It's going to have live programming each day.
How much money that costs?
NBC is going to be.
streaming and going to have their own app and they're going to have live content eight hours a day?
Good luck. God bless.
I mean, maybe I don't know.
You just come and join Blaze Media.
It's just a thought from me.
I'm looking at you, NBC.
Write it directly at you into a camera that's not working directly at you.
And did you know that you can invest in art?
I'm actually thinking about it's kind of like a retirement plan.
I've got new retirement plans out there and everything.
now that, where you can invest in paintings.
So it lets you buy shares of the high end pieces of art.
So if I, you know, if you're an owner, what I, I would say, um, no.
I don't know how, I'm not sure how that works because if I own a painting, that's just
like saying, hey, I'll let you buy a piece of my painting.
If I sell it, you get a piece.
It's really what it is.
And if I just bought a painting, it's like that Monet that just sold for what, 111,
million or more.
I mean, good luck.
Good luck.
Also, congratulations to T-Series.
You know, the YouTube channel T-series.
Don't look at me like you don't know what I'm talking about.
Silly.
They're the first YouTube channel to hit 100 million subscribers.
Amazing.
Amazing.
It's been a great battle.
We've talked about it a couple times between,
T-Series and PewDiePie.
And it's really not fair because PewDie-Pie is just a lone YouTuber up against T-Series,
which is, you know, they're just dropping music and, you know, all kinds of stuff on their
channel.
It's not, they're not creating any content like PewDie-Pie is.
So it's not really fair.
But so be it.
It's a separate channel.
They've got 100 million subscribers.
First ever do it.
PewDie-Pie, who sucks is like at 97 million or something.
Whatever.
97 million loser
But
It was fun watching some of the
Some of the battles
When it was subscribed to PewDie Pie
And they kept battling back and forth
Back and forth
You knew that T-Series was going to eventually win
And they did
But it was fun to watch some of the battle
From time to time
And but I mean 100 million subscribers
That's doing some
That's doing some distance
And you think about PewDiePie
doing 100 million
I mean he's close
97 million
some serious subscribers
and all I want you to subscribe to chewing the fat
that's it
am I out there hawking for
trying to hit 100 million
well yeah I kind of am actually
I kind of am
and if you think the Pewtie pie is a loser
for at 96 million
I am a capital L
OSER
with subscribers, okay?
But Jeff, you don't even have a YouTube channel.
I know, but.
Exactly.
Thank you.
Sephora.
Sephora is going to close more than 400 stores
on the morning of June 5th.
And they're going to host
inclusion workshops
for its employees.
Sephora said in a statement of my wife's
at Sephora.
It's a, you know, makeup joint.
I think that's what their, I think their tagline is,
Sephora, makeup joint.
Anyway, they believe in
championing all beauty,
celebrating differences,
building a community where diversity is expected.
They're going to take a few hours
and train at 16,000 employees.
Think of that,
Sephora's got 16,000 employees.
They're going to train them
about the brand's value.
Yeah, Sephora, what's your values?
Sell makeup?
That's our, oh no.
Their tagline is, is funny, their tagline isn't, we're a makeup joint.
Their tagline is, we belong to something beautiful.
Oh, so wonderful.
Now, why are they doing this, you ask?
Why would a company, like Sephora,
hold their inclusion workshops.
Did something happen?
Why, yes, something did happen.
Funny you ask.
Funny you ask.
One of their committed personnel who is here for Sephora,
a musician who once worked for Sephora and now sells a Rihanna's brand was in the store.
And the store called security and had security.
start watching him.
And that was too much to handle.
How dare the store worry about their merchandise?
How dare them?
So,
Zah tweeted, it is Zah, right?
At SZA.
Is that right?
I would imagine so.
You don't know?
Did I mention Chris was off?
I didn't know.
I'm sorry, I don't know everything.
Side note.
You don't have to know everything,
just what I asked.
He tweeted,
She tweeted.
He, she tweeted.
Well, I've got to find out who this is.
Hold on.
Put him on hold for just a second.
Hold on.
Just wait.
I don't like to put you on hold much.
I know that.
But just let me put you on hold.
Please hold.
Thanks for listening to chewing the fat.
Your listenership is very important to us.
Please continue to hold.
Please hold.
Thank you for.
Okay.
Here we go.
Thank you.
Are you there?
Are you still there?
Yeah, thank you.
Thanks for holding.
Singer Zah, it is a she, born in 1990, professionally as Zah,
but she has, her real name is a Salana Amani Rowe.
I mean, I guess I would, you can call me Zah.
Anyway, she got mad because the store called security
and started following her around to make sure that she wasn't stealing.
Are you kidding me?
So she gets pissed and calls out the store on Twitter.
The store apologizes, of course.
Of course.
Why do I hate?
The apologies only make it worse.
It's just agonizing.
You're a part of the Sephora family,
and we are committed to ensuring every member of our community
feels welcome and included at our stores.
Oh, we're so sorry.
We're so sorry.
So now they're having their inclusion summit.
Their inclusion summit is if anybody walks into the store
and you think they might steal something,
don't do anything.
Why does the company even pay for security?
Because we can't do anything.
You can't possibly.
It had to be, it had to be racism.
It had to be racism.
When you say, oh.
Security, maybe watch that person over there because, you know,
we've got a lot of product land around.
We don't want people stealing.
Just keep an eye out on them.
Okay.
No, can't have that anymore.
Can't have that anymore.
Heaven forbid.
So, I mean, good for you, Sephora.
Good for you.
Bless your hearts.
Bless your hearts.
Keep that inclusion summit going because I'm a fan, and I think you should apologize even more,
and you should continue to believe in championing all beauty, celebrating differences,
building a community where diversity is expected.
Agonizing.
