Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, are you going to Florida? Thinking about going to Florida? Take it easy. Don't go. 12-year-old vacation from Indiana. Hanging out in northern Florida up in the panhandle. We want to go in the water. No, it's too.
Starting point is 00:00:17 The undertow is too bad. It's cloudy. It's murky. You go ahead and you can, well, you can wade in the water. That's fine. No problem. Just wait in the water for a little while. Don't go.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Don't go too deep, though. It's too dangerous. Hey, that was a mistake too. Now they're back in Indiana. We've got flesh eating virus. Thank you. The sad thing is that this flesh eating virus is in her leg. So she really won't be the...
Starting point is 00:00:51 I mean, she could be dead, but she won't be the walking. Nah, never mind. You just don't want to get the virus. Okay, so I was all ready to talk about a couple things. Then I got throwing a curveball as I'm sitting down. Voodoo is closing down. Voodoo is closing down. Voodoo is closing down.
Starting point is 00:01:43 That's all I hear from Chris Cruz. Voodoo is closing down. No. If I lose my freaking movies from Voodoo, man, there was going to be some kind of hell to pay. I'm not saying that that could happen, but that could happen. So apparently, ultraviolet. the company that you get your movies from that sends it to voodoo is going out of business so like when you got the movie at walmart or sam's lover whatever and they scanned it boop and then it went to your it was there on your digital platform it was ultraviolet that did that that company is going out of business so voodoo and that company is shutting down the end of july so voodoo is telling you hey hey don't
Starting point is 00:02:40 unlock your content because if you unlock your content it's going to go bye-bye at the end of July and now they want you to they're going to send everything to this movies anywhere if I lose my freak of movies from voodoo man oh yeah I don't want to say that bad things are going to happen but bad things are going to happen okay now there's a whole big list of this story of what should you do now? And between January 31st and July 31st, 2019, why am I looking at January 31st? This broke at the end of January that this was shutting down?
Starting point is 00:03:29 How do I not know this? I got an email. Didn't you get your email? Maybe I, maybe, it's probably in my spam file. Yeah. But they, maybe I saw the thing ultraviolet and I thought, yeah, I don't care about ultraviolet. but I do care about ultraviolet.
Starting point is 00:03:45 You do, yes, that's where the movies are. And after the shutdown date, your ultraviolet library will automatically close. And in the majority of cases, your movies and TV shows will remain accessible at previously linked retailers. Right. In the majority of cases, they're freaking better. I'll tell you that. You can continue to make online purchases and redeem codes, but these may only be available through that. retailer and will not be added to your ultraviolet library.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Why are you shutting down, you criminals? What are you doing? You took all our money? You had the deal. Now you're shutting down. They're crying because movies anywhere between iTunes and Google and movies anywhere overtook the ultraviolet deal, right? So they were Disney and all these got, came up with their own platforms and sent their
Starting point is 00:04:38 stuff. So Voodoo was just sitting there going, well, we're with ultraviolet. App fatigue, once again. App fatigue. It sure seems like it, man. You're trying to save money like right now I'm paying for stars, showtime. Might also just get cable. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:54 And that's going to be, you got to look at the prices for that. Because we are in serious app fatigue. And every other network in the world is now saying, we should probably just, you know, we're not going to let Netflix and Amazon have our content. Yeah, NBC just pulled the office contract. We're going to let expire from Netflix. because we're going to launch our own platform in 2020. Well, good luck.
Starting point is 00:05:16 You can't do that. You can't do that. Why can't things stay the same? Right. Thank you. Grandpa. Thank you. A wise old man told me that a couple hours ago.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Why can't things be the same? I just want things to be the same as all. I mean, things have to change all the time. They just can't remain the same. And now, speaking of streaming, the director's guild of a member,
Starting point is 00:05:42 America. God knows we can't live without the Directors Guild of America. Everybody gets, you know, the magazine from them. And they wins the awards. Yeah. Yeah. They are the DGA Awards, which, you know, the DGA Awards, which, you know, the DGA Awards, the Directors Guild of America Awards.
Starting point is 00:05:59 The DGA Awards. Yeah, I know. I know. It's making sure you were saying it right. Okay. They are saying that, hey, if you release a streaming movie. Here we go. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:06:12 And it doesn't have a theatrical release. You're not going to, you're not going to be able to win a DGA. You know what I say? DGA, take a hike. We don't need you. I can't things just say that. You make a movie, you should be up for an award. It's either good or bad.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Yeah, it's like the whole Steven Spielberg. It's like the whole Steven Spielberg. It doesn't matter. It's Spielberg got his ass kicked on that too. Good. Good. And the DGA, see, this is then he's trying to back door him with the DGA stuff. you sure like to take their money making their movies,
Starting point is 00:06:44 don't you, Mr. Directors and producers. Yeah. Everybody wants to do that. Everybody loves to have the Amazon and the Netflix thing, including you, Mr. Spielberg. He says Apple TV Plus coming on the fall. So I don't, I... Which, by the way.
Starting point is 00:06:59 It's ridiculous. I have to make a correction. Do you remember when we were talking about the Apple TV announcement a couple months ago? Remember that? And then we said that Steve Corral, the cute chick and the other cute chick were doing a morning show
Starting point is 00:07:13 and then you're going to and you said oh you know you're going to wake up pretty soon and be like doing a morning show every single day is going to suck you ain't lying it's not a morning show like that it's a sitcom about a morning show
Starting point is 00:07:25 it's a sitcom about a morning show yes so it's just going to be recorded content yes it's agonizing so it's going to be like what's his face that used to do the tonight the
Starting point is 00:07:39 Night Show, right? That's neat. He died now. No. No, no, no. Who died? He died a while ago, but he was the funny man that did the talk show. It was more like a sitcom of a talk show.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Well, now you're going to make me look it up. Yes, I am. The Larry Sanders show. So it's going to be something like that similar to that. It's just going to be a recorded thing. I know that we had TV shows like news radio and and tall. Late Night and I got all that. I knew it.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Thank you. There's no one. way those dangleberries. You were right. You were right. There's no way those dangleberries could do a morning show. I am sorry. I know they work hard.
Starting point is 00:08:17 I know they work hard. And I know at what they do. I got it. I understand. And they're talented people. But it's a, it to do a morning show, radio or television.
Starting point is 00:08:29 And really to do any show, really afternoons or middays or whatever is. You have to do a lot of work. But it's, it isn't just learn lines and show up. I promise you that. You're doing Pat Gray. tomorrow how's that going to come in coming from you just I just don't learn my lines you got a couple
Starting point is 00:08:43 pages yeah a couple pages you got all your bits and all that stuff submitted it's all good and you'll be here while showtime starts like what five so you'd be here what four showtime is that six now oh six oof so you could be here about five 30 and then just five 355 55 yeah sit down huh and then just go and turn and everything's in the teleprompter and you're good to go it's the way it works not No, you just get here like at 2.30 in the morning. It just doesn't happen. But no, I just, I do not get here at 2.30. 3 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:09:17 I like to get up and get going. And at least have some idea of what's going on, which is a, it never happens, by the way. But it sounds good to say. There's no way those. Anyway, I knew it. There's no way those people are doing a morning, a morning show. I mean, good for them. I'm sure the show will be funny and it'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:09:41 I want to see it. Because that's a good trio. Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, and Steve Corral. Yeah. That's a good trio. Yeah, Reese's. I like Reese a lot. She's on that Little Liars.
Starting point is 00:09:53 I know. It's a little liars? Big Little Lies. Big Little Lies, yeah. A little lies or whatever the heck it is. It has big, little, and lies. Yes, it does. Just combine those.
Starting point is 00:10:02 And we're on season two and it's fine. Season two, yes. And we're good to go. They brought it, what's her face for season two? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. They didn't need her, though.
Starting point is 00:10:10 No, they didn't. I don't know why they did that. But this is a Reese for the film production, correct? Yeah, this is her. Yeah, she's Miss Hollywood now anyway. She is. Yes. So, you know, you're not messing with Reese.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Reese. Reese says, you know what, I think would be funny as a, you know, a play on a morning show. We'll just say anything. I'm sorry. And that's probably what should happen. Jennifer Anderson is She's getting up there And she's not that funny
Starting point is 00:10:45 She's funny With the right Actor she's funny Because her and Adam Sandler Funny Funny Are they Yes I just said
Starting point is 00:10:59 Her and Adam Sandler Funny Again I ask Are they All right, just a reminder that the Mercury One's Museum is getting ready to fire up. The starts the 29th, a couple days from now, if you're listening to this podcast live on the 27th of June, 2019. The 12 score and three years ago is located here at Mercury Studios in Irving, Texas. It's going to go through the 29th of June to July 7th.
Starting point is 00:11:41 And they are busy, busy little, busy little beavers. 12 score and three years ago. The unfinished promise of unity is at Mercury Studios. You need to be here to see this. June 29th through July 7th, it's going to be incredible. And unlike any museum you've ever set foot in, we have augmented reality experiences. You'll see the artifacts actually come to life on your smartphones.
Starting point is 00:12:03 And we've got special tours from David Barton and Glenn Beck. But there's only a few spots on each of these tours left. For general admission and guided tours, go to Mercury 1.com. or call 972-499-47-47 for more information. And we're going to find a way to, when you're taking the tour with Stu and Jeffie, to have that augmented reality with some different stuff in it.
Starting point is 00:12:26 I don't think that's possible, but it'd be fun. Actually, that's why, and I knew that was coming. That was so cool. They were showing it to me a couple weeks ago about the, you're going to be able to download, you get the app, and you look at the item, and then it comes to light. It's really cool.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Yeah, you can download the app. If you're coming, just go, in the App Store 12 scores and three years ago and then you'll see the app download the app. Just be app ready. Don't come here without the app. Thank you. Are we responsible for your Wi-Fi? No, we're not.
Starting point is 00:12:53 And I'm sorry, I'm not going to give you the password to the Wi-Fi. No. So, be-app-a-app ready. Home right now. Go to the App-Rulithal. The App Store, 12 scores, and three years ago, download this stupid app. It has a stupid logo,
Starting point is 00:13:09 the museum of stuff. You know, you know what it is. is. Yes. Mercury1.org for tickets. We're not going to give you internet. Okay? We're not. Jeez.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Mercury 1. There'll be internet here. There's going to be Wi-Fi. Yeah, but not for you. It's going to be full. It's not for you, though. It's going to be busy. So you're going to be, take forever to download the app if you're not app ready.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Especially, yes. Especially if you have all these people here on cellular. Right. And if you don't go with Station 19, you don't get a silver session. I mean, it's tough getting the reception in the room. I'm sitting in most of the time. Yeah. So app ready.
Starting point is 00:13:40 And I don't know if you know. this or not, but the IT department has already bogged down. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the IT department is backed up so much. It's almost like we don't even have one. Yeah, because they're backed up. That's what I said.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Yeah. That's what I said. 12 score three years ago, the unfinished promise of unity. And it's setting up, it looks great. You know what it's really cool, what I do love. And Mr. Mr. Oh, there is a slave ship in the bogs.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Did you see the slave ship? I did. That's really cool. Pretty cool. I know. I got admit it. I had to swallow my words on that one. I know.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Because Glenn actually rocked it. Now, still looks like a box. Oh, that's what ships are. Boxes that float in the water. Yeah, but inside, but I do this. I told the museum people that to close the doors. To get the full effect, you close the door, just have a freaking worker up there.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Yes. Wait. Great idea. So you're bringing the people in? This is a little off. If we talk about this, why are we talking about this on the podcast? Don't do that.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Don't do that. We'll do a Facebook live. And we'll see, we'll show them how to actually do a proper ship thing. I love it. I love it. Look, well,
Starting point is 00:14:55 that's going to happen. Because yesterday, because we had a kickoff party yesterday for the, uh, locals, leaders and the door's open. No, you're not a local leader.
Starting point is 00:15:04 I wasn't. You're not a local leader? I mean, I wasn't here for that. But I was just so upset. They kept leaving the door open. So I closed it. I closed the door.
Starting point is 00:15:12 they were freaking the hell out. That's what it's supposed to be. That's what I said. That's the experience. Help. I'm like, man, this is, this augmented reality is legit. Come find that you can open the door. So I had to help them out from the other side.
Starting point is 00:15:29 But it's cool, though. It's pretty cool. Yes. It's pretty cool. Yes. And you'll get that augmented reality that almost seems like reality when you come to the museum. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
Starting point is 00:16:02 That's the unofficial motto of the U.S. Postal Service, which doesn't mean that they're still not in a financial crisis. But according to recent congressional testimony by Postmaster General Megan Brennan, and she's, look, we all, we gave you. the Postmaster General. She's like under the board, so you want to be on the board of governors. But she said the agency
Starting point is 00:16:24 will run out of money within five years. Why are you cheering for the Postal Service to run out of money? They're not going to run out of it. They're not going to run out of money, especially if they put me in charge. So
Starting point is 00:16:48 150 billion pieces of mail a year. 47% of the entire world's mail. I mean, you want to talk about the effects on commerce. 650,000
Starting point is 00:17:07 workers is huge, huge, but they'll be fixed. Do you want to know why? 74% 74% say the Postal Service does an excellent or good job.
Starting point is 00:17:22 they're the number one number one government program that Americans love number two secret service 69% Centers of Disease Control 64% CIA and NASA both at 60%
Starting point is 00:17:40 funny the FBI is not on here the FBI is not in here wonder why the FBI oh I know why because they don't deserve to be on the list but the Postal Service is the favorite according to the latest gallop folks. So the Postal Service will not be running out of money. And if they put me in charge,
Starting point is 00:18:01 I'll tell you some ways where they can make some money, no problem. Speaking of polls, though, 84% of people surveyed said Americans are angrier today than compared with a generation ago. What are you talking about with that? That has nothing to do with politics. People are angrier that has something to do with politics? 42% of those polls said they were angrier in the past year than they had been further back in time.
Starting point is 00:18:47 That doesn't have anything to do with politics. What happened last year? A lot of things happened last year. 29% of the people said they were often angry when checking the news. Okay? That's not politics. And said it sometimes made them angry. Older people aged 65 and up were a little less likely to say that they were often angry when checking the news.
Starting point is 00:19:20 21% of seniors were in this category compared to 38% of people younger than 35. There's nothing political about that. There's similar difference in reactions to social media. 7% of people, 65 and above. How many people, seriously? How many people, 65 and above? Well, I guess on Facebook, right? There's not a whole lot of...
Starting point is 00:19:42 I heard it on the news. And I said it was ridiculous, man. That's it. That's it. You ain't lying. Now, it talks about the roots of that anger. Could that... It doesn't say anything about politics, though.
Starting point is 00:19:59 I doesn't say anything about politics in the story. You take that music back. This has nothing to do with politics, my friend, except that we all know. It absolutely does. But I didn't say it. Just because you played the stupid music. I didn't say it.
Starting point is 00:20:21 We could talk, you know, as long as we're talking about, as long as we're getting hollered at for pushing the boundaries into political talk. We could talk about, you know, the coming threes, Rees, right? So we had Max Wright die on Wednesday. Remember Max Wright? He was the actor who played the father on the television show Elf. And if you see his face, you've seen him in other television
Starting point is 00:20:48 shows and movies. You had Billy Drago die on Monday, who was one of the great villains of all time throughout Hollywood days. He was in the untouchables and he was in the other movies. When you see another guy that you see his face and you go, oh yeah. Like if you saw him walking down the street, you go, hey, you look like that bad guy. And he would say, I get that all the time. Keep walking because I don't want to talk to you. That's what would happen.
Starting point is 00:21:18 And then we found out that we lost dog's wife, right? So it comes in threes. One, two, three. Sorry to. Sorry to bring it to you, but the three has happened this week. So if anybody else dies now, it's a new three. It's the way it goes. I don't know why people get so upset about that.
Starting point is 00:21:36 It's science is, like, we're proving a point that celebrities dies in three. Like, why would you get so upset about that? I don't know. I don't understand either, but they do. Science deniers. Thank you. Thank you. Now, if you're listening to this podcast live, which is the 27th of June, 2019,
Starting point is 00:21:58 in that, which I stated earlier in the podcast as well. Today is also a day where Helen Keller was born. Probably didn't see that one coming. Ah! Oh, where's my room? Probably today was a day in history when Helen Keller was born. No, that's not where the room shot would be. Today in history, today is the day that Helen Keller was born.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Probably didn't see that one coming. And also a Mormon church founder, Joseph. I thought that was another punchdown. Mormon church founder, Joseph Smith, killed by a mob in a jail in 1844. You want to give me a rim shot for that? I thought that was today. I was about to go, you know.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Yeah, no, he was killed by a mob at 1844. He was the founder of the Mormon church. Josephism. Let's go to the break room. I need to Coke Cola Zero. Seriously, need to Coke Cola Zero. Oh my gosh. So good.
Starting point is 00:23:16 So good. Well, as long as we're in the break room, Kim Kardashian taking a little heat. She's got a new shapewear line. She looks hot. Called Kimono. Camono. Camono.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Camono. Camono. Yeah. Camono. Kimono. Camino. Come on. What is it called? Kimono.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Yeah. That's what I said. So apparently it's culturally insensitive. How? Fat shaming? No. No, but it's a Japan's shaming, right? How is that Japan?
Starting point is 00:23:47 That's a Japanese thing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Isn't it a culture appropriate not shaming? Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. But she's taking the heat for that, but I mean, it looks like it works for her. But she's got the big hashtag Kim, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:24:06 So why do we just name with that? Kim, oh no. The FAA finds a new, potential risk for the 737 max they might as well just burn these planes yes they might as well just shut these things down right if you guys used to make the 737 maxes no i don't know what you're talking about every country in the world has a giant fire burning it today it's the death of the 737 max or they should just go by what i would say a third world country shouldn't have planes the fAA said that it found a potential risk that Boeing must mitigate during the simulator testing of the software changes that Boeing has
Starting point is 00:24:50 made and wants to be certified. The issue involves an uncommanded movement of the horizontal stabilizer, the little wink near the tail that moves the plane up or down. How many times have you said that, Jeffrey? I swear to God, the last time I got so angry. I'm flying, we were flying over, I forget where we were flying over. And all of a sudden, I got an uncommanded movement of the horizontal stabilizer. I was so pissed.
Starting point is 00:25:15 I called the closest tower I called the closest That's not funny if it causes a crash This is not funny But they might as well just shut that plane down Thank you for falling Fisher Air Right now I'm getting some
Starting point is 00:25:37 Uncommanded movement of the horizontal stabilizer That's why you're getting a little Movement inside the plane You might as well just say sit down And keep your seat belts on and no smoking. No smoking is advised. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:25:50 I let you know what the uncommanded movement of the horizontal stabilizer decides to stop. Because I've commanded it to stop, but this is an uncommanded movement. So, anyway, that's the turbulence you're feeling
Starting point is 00:26:09 is the uncommanded movement of the horizontal stabilizer. When that ceases, well, You don't feel it because you want everything more turbulence. Thank you for flying, Fisher. Appreciate it. Just burn them.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Just burn them all. The max is done. Call it 738, do whatever you want to do. Just burn the 737. Oh, just skip that number. Just go to another number. Yeah, okay. I'm good with that, too.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Same plain different number. 8-01. Call it the 801. 18. I'm a fan. Are those the 737? Nope. They're the 18 math.
Starting point is 00:26:48 They're the 18 max. A couple more headlines, as long as we're still, you know, in the break room. I might as well get another drink of Coke 0, 2. So good. As I told you on Pat Unleashed yesterday during my chewing the fat segment, the NSA collected records of U.S. calls and texts. It wasn't authorized to collect last year.
Starting point is 00:27:24 And don't worry about it. It was an accident. Now, listen, we don't know. We didn't collect everyone's. and we're not quite sure exactly what all we collected, but don't worry about it's fine. Bank of America, going to stop lending to companies running private prisons and detention centers. I know this is on the boundary of political. And if I hear that freaking music, I'm going to throw something right through the glass at Chris Cruz.
Starting point is 00:27:48 But that's got, something has got to be done. Are you kidding me, Bank of America? You're going to stop lending to companies running private prisons and detention centers. I mean, this is just ridiculous. And Major League Soccer turning into NASCAR, which I love, is now going to allow its teams to sign Jersey Front sponsorship deals with sports betting and liquor companies. Nice.
Starting point is 00:28:12 I mean, I love the idea of sponsorships for anything. If you can sponsor it, do it. That's why I've been a, that's, now I'm going to give you this hint and this tip just out of the goodness of my heart here. But when I say that the Postal Service, if I was running it, wouldn't be out of money. One of the things that would happen is you'd have, we got 80 billion postal jeeps running around. Those need to be sponsored. Those need to be sponsored by somebody.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Those companies need to be. I don't care what it is. You have your little Coca-Cola, Dallas Fort Worth is Coca-Cola Hub for the Postal Service, whatever it is. or Jack Day Kentucky can be Jack Daniels. I don't care. Just make us some money. Just make us some money.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Damn it. And this story keeps coming back around. And ever so often, I think, oh, not again. You know, the UN tries to shove eating insects down our throats, so to speak.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Now we get eating insects will soon go mainstream. as bug protein is set to explode into an $8 billion business. I'm not really sure why Elton John showed up because I'm sick of him. You know, Elton is not eating any damn bugs. I guarantee you that. No, $8 billion business? No, not in the U.S.
Starting point is 00:30:00 edible insects are set to become $8 billion by 2030. Eating bugs is becoming increasingly common as the global population swells. No. Eating bugs are being forced upon us by the UN as an alternative to traditional meat. No. Not here in America. Stop looking at the camera, dude. Restaurant.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Tomorrow. Stop. I just want people to know exactly what I'm talking about. Tomorrow, you can do it all you want. But today, right now. Look, I want people to know. Nobody can see you. No, the cameras are right there.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I keep looking at you. You just look at the camera. I try to make a stupid point. Like, people are watching you. What the hell? It's only me here. The cameras are right there. So, me and my wife and my son.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Like, look at those through the glass. And by the way, speaking of that. What is this? Like family world now? Yeah, my in-laws are somewhere right here too. Did you just buy a house? Yeah, that's what they're here. Shouldn't have not buy that house.
