Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, a few headlines that I don't want to delve into the stories. I just, we just go with the headlines and we move on. Like, TSA discovers missile launcher checked in luggage at the Baltimore airport. I don't want to know. I don't want to know. I'm glad they found it. Like, right? Right?
Starting point is 00:00:24 More bad news coming out of Baltimore. But I'm happy that they found. At least TSTSA did something right. All right, they found a missile launcher in the luggage. Facebook has banned all sales of alcohol and tobacco between users on its core platform and on Instagram. We're not going to allow you to make money. We've decided that this product, we've banned.
Starting point is 00:00:56 So you can't make any money. That kind of, oh wait, I'm delving behind the headlines. Never mind. and the last headline it'll get you through the day today Kevin Spacey's life is going to suck from now on Boy do I want to delve behind the headlines on that but I won't
Starting point is 00:01:21 I said I won't In the past I've talked about going to the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, Arkansas in fact I remember talking about it with Doc Thompson on this very network, on the Blaze Network, because he had gone there, been there. You can go back and find, you know, the Doc Thompson, Jeff Fisher podcast on one of the shows 100 years ago
Starting point is 00:02:20 where we talked about it. But I'm telling you that at that time, I believe that it was, you know, it's all I did that just. You know I'm listening, right? I did that just see if Chris was listening. I'm telling you that it's all just made up. I don't think it's true. But according to this story,
Starting point is 00:02:34 once again, ever so often when we talked about it, somebody finds a diamond, right? They got these fields that they till up of dirt and you go out there and you dig through dirt and you look for diamonds. It's supposed to be, but you know, do you find diamonds? No. Did you find diamond?
Starting point is 00:02:53 No. Did dog find diamond? No. Then. But Josh Lannick 36, vacationing with his family from Nebraska, found a diamond. How many diamonds?
Starting point is 00:03:04 Just one. See, a little couple carrots. When do you find it? A few days ago. A few days ago. Jeffrey, when was the last time it rained? I know. Around this area.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Well, it rained there on the 16th. Oh, it did. Okay. Oh, the cover the tracks, damn it. Well, that, no, but that's what I'm saying. They say when you go there, you have to go. That the good time to go is after it rained because that churns up the dirt. And according to them, according to this story, I know.
Starting point is 00:03:30 There's a little two point, I don't know how, 2.12 carrot. A little diamond, a little shiny diamond. And he talked about, I saw the shine. No, you did. You did not. No, you did not. No, you did not. A two point.
Starting point is 00:03:42 I have, I have literally dug in that same dirt. No, you did not see any shine. Because you're supposed to, when you see it and you have your, you have your sifted, you're going through and your little, your little shovel, which they, you know, they're happy to rent for it to you. They provide it. They don't provide it. They have it there for you to rent.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They provide it for rent. Which is nice of them. Yeah, of course. And you spend all this money on rent. Well, you got to have the stuff, right? You have to have the chair, the sifter, the shovel. There's already people out there that have their own stuff, their wagon load of their own stuff with their little, their little tarp that they have over their heads to block the sun and they're moving.
Starting point is 00:04:21 You know, you're doomed right then. Yeah. Yeah. And you can camp off to the side of these fields, too, so you can spend some camp. Yeah. Right. And then you, you know, then you have access, 24-hour access to the diamond field. Because we all know that the diamond comes at night.
Starting point is 00:04:36 When they see the moon, that's when they come out. Right. Yeah. 37 acres. 37 and a half acres is this place, all right? It's a big place. And, you know, it's an old, it used to be a working diamond mine. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Yeah, I've read the story. So, according to this story, all right, more than 75,000 diamonds have been on earth at the park since the first. Once were discovered at 1906. 296 diamonds. 296 diamonds have been registered at the park, weighing a total of 50, over almost 54 carrots. Oh, that's a lot of carrots.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Now, this guy found one the size of a jelly bean. That's big. That's big. A jelly bean is big. Oh, my gosh. Can't take it. How much is worth? So about a 14 inches of rain fell on July 16.
Starting point is 00:05:35 So it got a lot of rain. So it really turned it up. I still, I think that they seed it. I think now, it used to be a working diamond mine. I think now. But how often do you seed it? Just enough? To keep the, you see it enough to have five people a year, six people a year find diamonds?
Starting point is 00:05:56 How much was it worth, does it say? Does it. But, I mean, two carrots of diamonds. You look that up easy enough. And he said, you know, he said it's the, family diamond now he doesn't want to sell it uh-huh wait till the mortgages do dad what happened to the family diamond uh it's missing we had to pay the mortgage sorry so i'm just i'm really i guess i'm jealous okay so how much is a couple carrot diamond cheffy that's uh 20 grand yes how much up to
Starting point is 00:06:26 30 thousand dollars that was a figure yeah i'm selling that and that's big i'm sorry but he will be that jam, like shine. Yes. There's a picture of him with his little tag and has got the little diamond in his fingers and it ticks me off. Does the park get anything from it or just a publicity that, hey, he found it.
Starting point is 00:06:47 You pay to go dig them. You know, that's what they're doing. It's finders keepers, you know. And I heard of this good place where you could, you know, sell it. I think it's like Fisher, Cruz, Diamond Emporium or something like that. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:07:02 You know. Just started. It just started. No, it's like, it's a startup. You know, brand new, you know, and they will price your diamond. We'll get it out there for you. Yeah, we'll start at one carrot and then go up to 52 carrots. Yeah, yeah, we don't.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Look, we're small business. I mean, they are a small business. I don't know who these two entrepreneurs are, but they're a very small business. Yes. Oh, my gosh, it's a great idea. Great idea. What's the name of it again? It's a Fisher and Cruz Emporium, Diamond Emporium.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Diamond Emporium. Yeah, Diamond Emporeum, yeah. Just a startup. It's a startup. It just started. It started today. I just got the email from the press release It started today They're looking to purchase anything from one carrot
Starting point is 00:07:40 Or to 52 carrots And they're willing to help anyone who Could be anybody Doesn't have to be anybody from the crater of Diamond State Park Absolutely not No no anybody I was so disappointed at this place
Starting point is 00:07:52 I was so excited I know I remember I was so excited to go there My wife had found it It was a family thing right Yeah we took the family out We stayed in Arkansas We stayed at a hotel
Starting point is 00:08:01 Outside of Murphy's boroughs It was fun It was a fun trip. But I was so cool. We're going to go to this diamond park. You know, we're going to dig for diamonds. And you get there and you're kind of still, you lose the excitement when you look out and you see the till dirt. But you're still okay.
Starting point is 00:08:18 You're still okay. You're still all right. No problem. We're good. We're get the stuff. We get the sifter. We get the buckets. We get the shovels.
Starting point is 00:08:25 We go out. We're good. And then you get out in the middle of the field. And about 10 minutes in, you're like, this sucks. What the hell am I doing? How many people were there? And at that time, there was a lot. Really?
Starting point is 00:08:40 I mean, yeah. There was a lot. Like I said, spread out across the fields. There was probably one, two, three, four, five. There was at least half a dozen of stations. Well, of the people that are everyday people. Yeah, the pros. Yeah, the pros with stations.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And there's, you. The only the tarp and the, everything. Yeah. They got the, everything over the block the sun. They're about to find a terrat. Like a T-Rex.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Right. They got their launch. They brought them in. They're spending time out there. They brought the interns. Yeah. You're digging until you find something. You got us, the families that are out there.
Starting point is 00:09:19 You know, they come and they spread out. You go, the people are over here. We'll go over here. You know, and you look around. You walk around them pretty soon. You're like, well, let's go down this row and see what's happening on this row. And then at that time, I was still smoking. And then at that time, I was still smoking.
Starting point is 00:09:33 So I just went back up into the shade on a picnic table and sat down with my bottle of water and smoked my cigarette. I wish I would have had some of this. You guys go ahead. Keep digging out there. Good luck. Seriously, you're fine. I think you'd probably find one over in that area over there, over there in the shade. I'm good right here on the picnic table here in the shade.
Starting point is 00:10:01 It's so disappointed. I was so bummed. I was still up. And this is another story of this guy just happens to find and he saw the shine. That pisses. No, he didn't happen to see the shine. Well, it did rain a bunch of inches. So, and it was a two-carad diamond that's worth up to $30,000.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Don't bug me down with facts. It is time to stop swimming in the oceans. Now, I'm not saying that it has to do with climate change. I'm not saying it has to do with pollution. I'm just saying it's time to stop swimming in the oceans. the ocean. Another Florida man has contracted flesh-eating bacterial infection. So he's in Florida. He's in Florida. Decides, you know, it's go in the water. I take a little dip in the Gulf of Mexico. This is not on the East Coast. This is in the
Starting point is 00:11:01 Gulf of Mexico. Goes for his little swim. Then it wakes up the next day. He's got a little sore on his butt. Little boil doesn't take anything of it. Everything's fine. Tufts it out because he's a man. Then it gets worse and worse and worse and worse and finally goes to the hospital. And now, I mean, he's gone through. I mean, this is what's happening. He's gone through all kinds of surgeries. He's infected with the necrotizing facetus.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Apparently, apparently, he had gotten a shot for his back and his butt. And so there was access to the virus. Yeah, makes sense. It does, but holy cow. And this is where Gulf of Mexico? Yeah. Okay. Now, he's lucky to be alive, right?
Starting point is 00:12:03 I mean, there's people that have died from this now. He said it was a good weight loss program. He's lost 30 pounds. Jeffie, hey. Yes? Get infected. Go swimming in the Gulf of Mexico. We got that here in Texas.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Yes, we do. Yes, we do. Well, worse comes to worse. I mean, okay, seriously, what's the deal? Something is going on. Virginia Beach, Florida, what's going on? Something's happening. We can't even swim in the ocean anymore.
Starting point is 00:12:54 It's climate change. We just leave it at that. Speaking to health, though, so I'm looking, like, I haven't had any coffee. I haven't had coffee in the same amount of time that I haven't had a cigarette. almost eight months now. We used to drink coffee? Almost eight months. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:20 I didn't know you used to drink coffee. I thought you were not a coffee guy. No. Really? Really? A fan. How can we never want coffee? Me and you, coffee shop, you know?
Starting point is 00:13:31 Boy, darn, the luck. I wish. Being here for three years. That was three years. Darn, I wish I. You've only stopped drinking coffee eight months. So that means, you know, we have a little over, you know, two years of me and you getting coffee, Starbucks, or our home or wherever.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Yeah, but darn. But darn what? Dard the luck. Oh, he invited me over for a cup of coffee. Yeah, there's no time. No, there was time. There was two years and something. Time for me and you, you know, you could grab a smoke.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I don't mind you smoking in front of me. I know, but darn the luck. I mean, it's too late now. I love coffee. So anyway, I read this article about how it's, what, the health benefits of drinking coffee. Oh, yeah, they're big. You stay awake. So, you know, of course, clears the fog.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Yeah. You know, weight loss. Yep. Right? It's supposed to be helpful. A body boost, they're calling it, which gets your gentleman going. With the weight loss, all you have to do is put that butter. So you put coffee and butter, and then that's how you do.
Starting point is 00:14:34 You're good? Apparently, it's nutritious. It is. He has coffee from the earth. It's natural, natural out. He's got B2, B3, magnesium, vitamin B5, potassium and magnesium. Come on, man. Potassium and Magadies.
Starting point is 00:14:47 What more do you need? It apparently cuts your diabetes risk. That's got to be, that cannot be true if you're drinking lattes. Yeah, if you're drinking, you know, you are getting tight two diabetes. Yeah, no, I'm sorry. Black coffee. I bet you this is black coffee. And I, that's what I drink.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Me too, black coffee, yeah. It lowers Alzheimer's risk. Ooh, that means you get to you back into coffee. I'm a fan then. I do not want it. lowers Parkinson's risk. Oh my gosh. Oh, that's a scary one too.
Starting point is 00:15:18 That's the shakes, right? Yes, that's the shakes. That's the one that boy from Back to the Future has, right? Yes. Okay. Healthy liver, helps your liver out. Oh, if you drink coffee in the morning after you go to the club, you're all said. The liver could really take a beating when people take too many prescription drugs.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Jeffie? I mean. Eat too many sugary foods. Jeffie, I mean. The result is often severe. scarring of the liver tissue that is more commonly known as cirrhosis. Yeah, it appears that coffee can somehow help protect the liver from cirrhosis. People who drink four or more cups of coffee a day have an 80% lower risk. I'm sorry? That is huge. That's like big number. That sure is. I only drink
Starting point is 00:16:01 two cups of coffee. Fight depression. Oh, I can see that. Yeah. Depression is a serious. Well, that's it. If you're self-medicate for depression, this is one of the medications that you may or may not use depending on what helps you. Different medications help. different depressed people. What? Yeah, I know. Cut your cancer risk. Yep, I heard that.
Starting point is 00:16:21 And live longer, what? Although it's often difficult for medical research is to reach a definitive conclusion in light of the numerous factors that influence any study, it appears that coffee drinkers may be cutting the risk of death. Two large studies demonstrated
Starting point is 00:16:34 that men who drank coffee were 20% less likely to, and I'll get the screen back, it'll be a wonderful thing. 20% likely, less likely to die. 20% less likely to die.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Is that a good enough percentage? And women who drank coffee were 26% less likely. You know, people say that the world was made for man. I'm sorry. There's statistics show that this world was made for women. But I will say that the reason that I stopped drinking coffee, though. Yeah, I want to know. Why do you?
Starting point is 00:17:08 Because after my heart event. Heart attack, yeah. No, it was a heart event. Yeah, the heart attack. You know, they gave me so much crap about smoking. That's all they cared about. was the smoking, stopped the smoking. I mean, that's literally all they cared about.
Starting point is 00:17:21 They didn't care about anything else. And so I have. They have something else to take care of? What's that? Do they have something else to care of? They didn't worry about the diet. You're healthy. I mean, of course, they obviously want you to, you know, watch your diet and watch what you
Starting point is 00:17:37 eat. Wait, come on, you eat pretty good stuff? But what are you talking about? Of course. Everything that you, out of your whole life, smoking was the worse. Yeah. So let's focus on that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Yeah. And so, but I knew that, see, one of the things that I enjoy is coffee and cigarettes. I mean, I, I'm a fan. Together, coffee and cigarettes? Oh, okay. Okay. So you're one of those. It's like, it's like sex and cigarettes, but for you was coffee and cigarettes.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Okay. Well, I mean, there were a lot of things that were and cigarettes, but coffee was one of them. So coffee will trigger your cigarette. Yeah, that's how I figured I better now. Or did the cigarette trigger your coffee? Either way. Either way. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Either way. I didn't want a, I don't want a chance drinking the coffee and then wanting a cigarette. Worse than I already wanted it. Yeah. Well, that makes sense. And I'm pretty good now. I really, I joke around about it, but I'm pretty good now with a, you know, not smoke. I'm pretty good now.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Only real, like when I talked about yesterday driving into work, seriously, at a red light, every car around me, they were smoking. I mean, I just, you know, let me a smoke. And a lighty, too. Hit me up. Fire this bad boy up before the light turns green and then let's go, okay? Oh, no, I just wanted a cigarette. We got time for this before that.
Starting point is 00:18:52 All right, thanks, man. We have the smoke, too, all right? All right, I'm going to get back to light screen. Speaking of coffee, though, big story today out of India, where this head of the big coffee in India has gone missing. I don't know where he is. Yeah, coffee, coffee, coffee day founder.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Yeah, Coffee Day Enterprises. He's just gone. Poof. Poof. Well, I mean, Coffee Day Enterprises owns your little, Cafe Coffee Day. Yeah, C-C-D. He'll try to pretend like you're Mr.
Starting point is 00:19:26 I'm Mr. India. Yes, I am. Okay. Do you know where it is? Where is the first outlet started? Where did it start? In India? Nope.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Right there. Duh. Brigade Road in Bageloru. Don't even just... Do you how many chains currently have? 1,700 chains have an outlet on it. And he has 60,000 vending machine. Spread over to Nile.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Look at that. It's a huge company. Czech Republic, Egypt, and 245 cities in India. Yeah. Huge. So, and he was, I don't know if they think he committed suicide because they dropped him off. They said he went for a walk.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yeah, on Monday night he went to the Netrabti River in Manglore and turned off his phone. And at 9 p.m. They were trying to find him and nothing. See, and he even said that he was solely responsible for all the mistakes. And he talked about, I'd like to say I gave it my all. Because apparently he was under tremendous pressure from lenders that he claimed led him to succumbing to the situation. And I don't know, I guess the situation was he had to sell. Yeah, he had to liquidate some of his shares in order to pay for the infrastructure lending giant.
Starting point is 00:20:51 I-L-N-F-S firm. I know you look at me like, damn, man, this guy knows his stuff. It's amazing. That's not what I was thinking. Anyway, but he was looking at like Coca-Cola was going to buy up.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Is that right? Yeah, in 20, there were, in talks with a 58-year-old guy that cook, that he will sell a considerable steak of his coffee chain
Starting point is 00:21:21 and the deal was supposed to close end of 2020. in March. Okay. So if he's looking to sell, then that means that he was under pressure to sell and the books would have had to get opened, right? Which meant that everything that he'd been...
Starting point is 00:21:37 See, but everything that he's moving around, moving things around. Things would come out into the open, right? If you open the books... That's what you're thinking. I'm thinking of Big Coffee got to him. Oh. I think Howard Shultz got to him.
Starting point is 00:21:52 you know he was supposed to be bigger than starbucks that's how good his coffee was just a side note Howard joltz really doesn't have anything to do with Starbucks anymore but go ahead and who is I don't know who's running the joint anymore but he Howard is pretty much you know know giving up his CEO role sorry Kevin Johnson yeah sorry Kevin Johnson so I missed up the other white guy I'm around mister I know the world of CCD I don't know the world when it comes to Starbucks. That's your realm. He said, my intention was never to cheat or mislead anybody. I have failed as an entrepreneur. I hope someday you will understand, forgive and pardon me. Whoa. That does sound. Yeah, that's a suicide talk. I mean, it's sad to say it, but that sounds like he went to the river.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Yes, if that is true, he went to the river on Monday night. And because according to this, but I'm looking at the bridge. I mean, it looks like you could pretty much jump off that thing and swim. Well, it's funny you said because according to this, the Maglanoe Police Department stated that they started a search operation at 9 p.m. To look for a man who might have jumped off the bridge. Right. So like, I still think. Big coffee. Big coffee.
Starting point is 00:23:07 So I wait to find out if we find out what happened to VG. CCD. No, VG is his name. No, VG is his name. VG. Sint Harta. Sid Harta. VG.
Starting point is 00:23:23 How did you know him? How did I know him? He started CCD. Back in Bridge Road. Did you have any personal relationship? I did. I call him VG. This VG?
Starting point is 00:23:31 Yeah. Okay. So we're waiting to hear what happened to your friend. Yeah, my friend. VG. You're still assuming that it was big coffee. Why couldn't it have been big soda? I mean, Coca-Cola.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Big soda was going to profit from this. I know, but never think you're going to profit more now. Stock has gone tumble. Yeah, they can get the product now. Yeah, Bucco is a friendlier company than Starbucks. They are. Yes, they are. You're aware of that.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Yes, I'm too aware of that. Yeah, I've, I guess I'm not aware of the evils of big coffee, but, you know, it's possible that they're. Yeah, James Quincy, you know, the CEO of Coca-Cola. He, he's my man. Yeah. I call him Quincy. Hey, Quincy, hey. I know Ms. Q, but it's just me.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Oh, you know what's just me. You know, see, I try. I tried to call him Q, but he got upset at me. Yeah, he doesn't like the inner circle. I was working my way there. But, you know, I wasn't one that brought him the, you know, the CCD coffee deal. So I was hoping, you know, I could call him Q. If the deal had to fall through, I know.
Starting point is 00:24:37 You were in Q-Land. I was ready for landing on that one. So we'll update you on what happened to VG. VG. Yeah, VG. And what's going to happen with Cafe Coffee Day? C-D. And the coffee day conglomerate that is under stress right now.
Starting point is 00:24:54 By the way, the whole coffee growing area is 15,000 acres of coffee estate. That is a lot of acres. Oh, yeah. That is huge. I mean, look, they have stakes in multiple tech companies, logistics firms on top of the coffee. It's India. Well, but I mean, you still need a lot of that to have your infrastructure for coffee day. Absolutely, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:20 So, I mean, they're going to be invested in a huge amount. So I really do. I think it was he was under pressure to sell. And big coffee got to him. That's not where I was going. All right, let's go to the break room. I need a Coca-Cola-0 sugar as it is. You know, me in Q, tight.
Starting point is 00:25:47 I got to keep drinking the Coca-Cola Zero. Yesterday I did the headline. During my chewing segment, with Stu on the Glenbeck radio program about the Georgia woman who, well, I didn't even say it was Georgia. I just had a woman fired a gun at a McDonald's for getting cold fries. And that was one of my headlines. And I didn't want to delve into it. But the more I got into it, I wanted to know a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:26:14 I want to know, you know, what exactly happened? Because we've all been there where we've, you know, you kind of feel like, what the heck. And so apparently she got an order, left, came back because she was pissed at the fries. were cold says hey fries are cold lots of new fries that are hot the manager says okay and goes back to get her some fries
Starting point is 00:26:38 she follows them around behind the counter come on she jumped over you know I mean there's a McDonald's most of the time you got to you can't they don't it's not access you got to jump over right and so she kind of follows them back into the kitchen and he's back there trying to get some hot fries and she pulls out a gun and fires it in a big floor
Starting point is 00:26:57 Gun safety, though. She just fired it into the floor. It wasn't like up in the air or at anyone. She was just making notice that, hey, where's my freaking fries and they better be warm? So apparently it doesn't say in the story whether she got the fries and a refund. Because the manager said I gave her a refund, which, you know, the manager said, just take what you want, right? But it doesn't say that she got the warm fries and a refund, but he gave her refund and she left.
Starting point is 00:27:24 I mean, that's the way to get things done around here. I want my fries Thank you So apparently then the police What? The police got involved? Yeah, they arrested her Why? They arrested her apparently you can't
Starting point is 00:27:39 He's a champion of this You know cold fry dilemma versus You know customers Nobody's injured Yeah she shot gun safety Floor, boom done I mean I guess it could have ricocheted No, it's impossible
Starting point is 00:27:52 She knew that it was not going to ricochet But There they found she was It doesn't say why they arrested her, but I'm sure you can't, you know. Armed robbery, she had a gun. You know, they get it for armed robbery. They get her for unlawful firing of a weapon in a public place. But, right, right.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Cops. Police, you can't do anything anymore. No, you can't. You can't go to McDonald's bed. Cold fries, no. I want my cold fries and a refund and more money and a double cheeseburger. Is it plain? No, it's not plain.
Starting point is 00:28:25 Make sure that double cheeseburger is funny. I'll tell you right now, if a manager does that, those employees will not get an order wrong. Right? If a manager did that, the employees are doing the order right, right? Will not be missing any fries. If I hear one more drive-through complaint, the drive-through complaints are going to start going downhill fast. You're not getting any complaints, man. And when you shoot you shoot on the floor, we shoot a little bit close to them.
Starting point is 00:28:51 You know, I'm like, ah, what was that? That's the warmth of a bullet. Get the order right. I'm sorry, here's your order. Perfectly, just like you ordered. Thank you. We like to eat it for you too. No doubt.
Starting point is 00:29:08 I can't chew and anything? I mean, run it outside, anything. What do you need? I find it fascinating that it doesn't say whether she got, you know, the manager said I gave her a refund. I guess he got a little scared with the, but I bet she got the fries too. Oh, she got the fries. Oh, yeah. I'm not leaving there.
Starting point is 00:29:25 I'm sorry. I just fired my gun. I'm not leaving there without both. I want, you know, I'm okay with not getting a refund, actually. If he was all nervous about it, I'll give you a refund too. I'll give you a refund too. Okay. I want you to give these people a refund too for your.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Then she's a winner, right? She's taking care of everybody. She's a Robin Hood. She's a Robin Hood of McDonald, bro. Yeah. Here's another thing where you want to have a weapon, though. Okay. And we all understand the frustration of ordering through fast food restaurants and not getting
Starting point is 00:29:55 what we ordered. It happens. Why is it so frustrating, Jeffrey? It's like I just got kicking the balls and they took my first child and they raped my whole family. And all it was is, all it was is I just wanted the burger plane. I saw.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I just wanted the burger plane. It's like your wife for the weekend, she posted that she ordered a sandwich. Oh yeah. No jalapeno's no peppers. And I said she goes to the house, those jalapinos in it. And it's not the first time because I remember two weeks ago,
Starting point is 00:30:29 or three weeks ago, you gave me a sandwich because... That wasn't their fault. No, but it had jalapenos and peppers in it, too. And that's the reason why I had it. That wasn't their fault, though. That was an ordering person's fault. Someone should have fired a gun. There was an order miscommunication.
Starting point is 00:30:50 And so... And I may have had... Customer's always right. I may have had something to do with it. Right, right. They screwed up. Did I say that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:58 The ice screwed up, bastards. But it is frustrating. It sucks, though. It sucks. So now, are the ice cream licking story and the people trying to do their videos viral. The toothpaste,
Starting point is 00:31:12 it's funny. You drink stuff off the shelf and put it back on. Well, now, this story out of Pennsylvania, police are trying to find a woman who they say, urinated on potatoes at a Western Pennsylvania Walmart store.
Starting point is 00:31:28 I'm sorry, what did she do? Because I don't hear anything. there's a dead body. Police are wondering why there's a body on top of the potatoes. That's what it should have happened when that stupid person saw that person peed. Are you kidding me? A Walmart representative, an employee, you saw what the woman was doing and told the station
Starting point is 00:31:48 and immediately disposed of the effective products and sanitized the area. How about you get the person down? You tackle that person and you hold them. We need authorities. Oh, I didn't know they actually. saw it. I know it was video footage, but I know the action employees saw it. Listen, if you're at a public place, we'll use Walmart. We're an example just off the top of my head. At the top of your head, Walmart, okay. You got a Walmart super center. You go in the one side. That's
Starting point is 00:32:17 where the grocery store is. It says so outside. Are you sure? Yeah. Okay. Pharmacy. Groceries. It's funny how it works. Anyway, so you go in and there's the, you know, the produce section, and then the frozen food section and then the grocery section Wow you know this store like the back of your hand That's pretty cool Because it's actually It's actually
Starting point is 00:32:39 What they want you to do Is people make the mistake of shopping there first Shopping produce You need to go to the back And work your way back to the front Is the proper way to shop that Because Because the back is the milk
Starting point is 00:32:58 Why am I getting the milk first But you don't want the ice cream And frozen food stuff first All right, so it's kind of screwed up the way they have it built at the super centers Yeah, because milk and the juice The dairy products are at the very back Yeah, with the eggs
Starting point is 00:33:13 And then along the side walls are the meats Yeah, the hands, the cheeses, yeah Yeah, that would be meats, not cheeses are not meats, cheeses are back in the dairy section But, you know, whatever I digress And then you have the grocery aisles And then you're back up to the frozen food
Starting point is 00:33:32 And the produce food You shop whatever you want. Right, correct. In the deli, at the bakery. Outside the deli, so I could get something to have to eat on my way as a shop. Hey, let me get a pound of that. And then look, you could do that, right? Because they've already charged you for the product.
Starting point is 00:33:45 It's been weighted. The tag is on the things. Whatever's in it when it goes through the register. So what? You're getting charged for the right amount. I found like the best ham from the deli. Oh, it's like tomato, basil, basil, ham, turkey ham. Oh, it's so good.
Starting point is 00:33:59 I don't know about the turkey ham. Although sometimes the turkey stuff is pretty good. At one point they used to have turkey baloney that was really good. Oh, that sounds good. The publics used to have this turkey baloney. Did it have the olive inside? Oh, good Lord, no, don't.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Don't ruin it with the kind of thing. We don't need anything from the islands. Anyway, so anyway, back to the lady at Walmart. Oh, yeah, I completely forgot what we're talking about. I'm telling you how to shop the store at Walmart. You're welcome, by the way. Getting hungry, yeah, no kidding. But now that I think about it,
Starting point is 00:34:34 they need to discuss. out. They need to discuss with me a little bit of the layout. I'm not quite sure. The layout is not proper. Like you. The, the meat department I'm okay with along the side.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Yeah. Yeah. But the milk bakery and the deli should be in the back. And the dairy should be up front in the front of the store. So if you start shopping back there. Why are you putting that stuff in the back though? Because you start there. So you still start at the back.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Starting at the back and work your way to frozen and dairy and then you're out. So frozen and dairy is okay so also you're moving the dairy south to the front of the store. Correct. So that's the last thing you get. And the last thing because that's your milk. Yeah. Frozen of dairy you're out. I like that. Yeah. You just move it into the back. Yeah. Call me Walmart. I'm here to help. If you were to go into a store and see someone standing on the potatoes in the produce rack, urinating. I would hope that you would do that. I would hope that you would, Especially here in Texas. Notice this was in Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Especially here in Texas. In Texas, is she urinating of the potatoes I was going to purchase? Not anymore. There's some blood on my potato. Can I just get it? You know, 50% off. Yeah, I'll wash it off. We're good.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Somebody's got to say, you can't just let that happen. If people saw this, they should be ma'am, ma'am, obviously you don't shoot the lady. Yeah. But you do, you hold, you tackle her. You have to. You tackle. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:36:04 I'm going to see. say this you tackle this girl you hold her down you call 911 and be like I got a pee girl here come and get it I don't want this to become a threatening thing like people licking stupid bluebell ice cream they don't want to be the pissing potato now and I'm taking your phone because I want that we're still going to watch you recording it yes this is the video yes yes yes something that could not stand I think if me and you go to a Walmart by our house and we see that I'll record you as you tackle this girl and you just go fool no I'm not tackling I just grab her hair and pull her down.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Oh, whatever, whatever. Whatever. We tackle, pull her hair down. I don't care. But I just want to see you just go. I'm not putting up with it. No, nobody should. That's not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:36:48 I'm not going to be the front end guy going, oh, we're going to have to replace those potatoes. Somebody's peeing on the potatoes. There she goes out the front door. Why? Videos got her. We'll get her later. And where's this?
Starting point is 00:36:59 No. Where's this stupid person that's his in front? Welcome to Walmart. What is he doing? And they just redid that. Yes, they did. So they want people that are more mobile. Yeah, like you could.
Starting point is 00:37:08 We need to discuss that too, by the way, Walmart. Come to think of it as long as we're on Walmart oversight. Oversight, yeah. I realize that you changed that a little bit, your greeters. Yeah, they had to be more. Lifting. Yeah, they had to lift so much weight and they were more, had to be more mobile so they could do other things.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Less special, more. I just want to say that I've been to a couple of Walmarts since you've made the announcement. Made that announcement. And I don't think. some of the managers got the message. Don't think some of the managers got the message. I could be wrong. Like the guy at all Walmart.
Starting point is 00:37:42 He's funny, I like him. He scares me. He's big. He's big, not some fat, like big tall. He scares me. He's a very good deterrent about shoplifting. I see him to pick up my dog food because I order online and they have it ready for me.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Hey, I'm like, oh, ah, just dog food, sir, dog food. Okay, over there. Okay. But he's not the only one that works the front at that store. No, he's not. And I know the one you're talking about. I know the one you're talking about. And I feel like they're waiting for him to retire.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Okay, well, this is not a him. Oh, it's not a him. It's not a him. It's a her. That's a her. And this is just, I'm just leaving it at management didn't get the message. All right. So we've talked about the fine line between restaurants and food service and what we want to know.
Starting point is 00:38:44 And do we want to know that there's rapsing? in the back. Do we want to know that the... You're racist. I know. It's Baltimore. Well, this particular restaurant isn't in Baltimore, so it's okay. Okay, okay. Do we want to know that, you know, that something was dropped on the floor and picked up, you know, that kind of thing? Really fine line. And we trust, we trust.
Starting point is 00:39:06 We trust that that doesn't happen. We also trust like Walmart, right? The lady urinated on the potatoes. The guy's big deal was he got rid of them all and... cleaned up the area, sanitized the whole area and everything. Which good job. Absolutely. But next time, tackle that.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Absolutely. Just take that mop handle and ram it right up her and be done with her. But that haven't been said. I'm sorry. Where is he putting the mop handle? You know where that mop handle's going. And it's wide open there too because she's busy urinating on top of those freaking potatoes. I love it.
Starting point is 00:39:43 She could be like the scarecrack. on top of the freaking potatoes. You thinking about peeing on my potatoes? Look at what happens to the last person. That's right. What's that? She's trying to pee on my potatoes. Go ahead, kid.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Get out of here. Don't look at me like that. So how many have gotten food from the food app service? You know, use an app to have food delivered. We use it here all the time. Uber eats. We use Uber eats. She'll sponsor this stupid show.
Starting point is 00:40:12 All these apps should be sponsors of the show. It's very frustrating that they're not. Very frustrating. And it's your fault. Food app delivery people for me doing this story. If you were sponsors, I wouldn't be doing this story. Thank you. A survey from U.S. Foods about habits and pain points.
Starting point is 00:40:31 We should call Sarah, by the way. Isn't Sarah from U.S. Foods? Remember last week? She called me back. Oh, she did? She emailed me back. Oh, awesome. Oh, she did.
Starting point is 00:40:40 She did return my email. Oh, she did? She emailed me. What are you? Oh, I forgot all about it. Oh my gosh. Yeah, she said, hello. I received a voicemail from your show,
Starting point is 00:40:52 Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher, and we appreciate the opportunity to provide you with the reply via email. We proactively issued the recall out of an abundance of caution and have already been in contact with a limited number of restaurants impacted by the recall directly. For more details and facts on the recall, she gives me a link to the USDA announcement.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Thank you, Sarah Matthew. Thank you, Sarah. Sarah? Right. Yeah. You know what? Thank you, Sarah. U.S.
Starting point is 00:41:19 foods, are you still good with us? No doubt. Thank you. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. You want to accuse me of being part of... Big Corporation trying to...
Starting point is 00:41:27 Big meat now? Yeah, big meat. Yep. All right, go back to this, sir. It's right, because you said U.S. foods, they remind me of Sarah. So... So we have the end with someone in...
Starting point is 00:41:37 I know. Sarah's all about it. Chewit the fat. I'm sure that she's thinking that... Big meat. Chewit. Yeah. So anyway...
Starting point is 00:41:44 Does that mean they have to give her money now? U.S. foods. No, they give us money. Oh, they give us money. That's the way it works.
Starting point is 00:41:49 No, big, big gives little. Oh, okay, okay. Wait, I don't know like the way that sounded either. Anyway, the stupid story about app delivering food. Really?
Starting point is 00:42:05 We had a story about Walmart and we ended up restructuring the entire Walmart grocery store. You're not going to, you don't think we're going to do this? So they have a survey about habits and pain points for, of delivery drivers, So they found that one in four admitted to tasting food order before delivering it to their customer.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Now it says here are 28%. I've not a math guy, but one in four is usually 25%. But, you know, whatever. Anyway. Well, they have to round down. They want to scare you. So the study was made of 1,518 American adults who had ordered food delivery apps, okay?
Starting point is 00:42:56 And also of 497 American adults who said they identified as having worked as a deliverer for at least one food delivery app. Now you have more restaurants be getting their own delivery services. Yeah. Although much smaller problem found in the survey was 17% of the delivery app users
Starting point is 00:43:19 who said their driver simply left their food on their front stoop without handling it off personally. I have video footage of that. You have video footage? It's sorry. Video footage of video footage. Video footage of that. I'll find to combine those two words and one.
Starting point is 00:43:36 I have video that. They just let them. Sit it out of the front door. Why? Why? Why? Because it takes too long for you to get to the door. Okay, then at least knock and drop it.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Knock and drop. I don't, I don't mind if you knock and drop. I honestly don't. Because what are you waiting for? I don't tip you because it's all through the app. Right. Oh, thank you for the food. But you got to have to let me know that the product has arrived.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Exactly. So knock on my door. Knock and drop. That's fine. I, you will not hear complain on me. The problem I have with that delivery Chinese food guy from Uber Eats was that he dropped and walked off. Right. No, knock.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Where's my knock? Does he take a picture like Amazon and give you the app? No. Your packages here. Now, the app tells you and you could get track. Where it is. it is until the food is here. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:25 But that's not enough because when it says the food is here, it just means that the little blue dot that is tracking that car is at your front door. Plus, I may have to go out to the front door and watch the delivery person walk up to my house, and I don't want to have to do that. That's the whole point of ordering the food on the air. Yes. I just want the food. I don't want to have to interact with other humans.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Well, yeah, that's what you do that. So knock and drop. I feel like Uber needs to just put that up. on their orientation. Now, 58% of the customers said that they would like to see tamper evident labels. I don't like that. Just going to raise the price. It's going to be $10 more for my stupid sushi rule.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Yeah, it's going to be a lot more money. How do you think you're going to have to pay for the stupid stickers? Plus, then you're going to get a study saying that the person before the driver who puts the tamper evidence sticker on is eating your food. I mean, if I'm a delivery person driving around. Let's just say for whatever app company. I'm delivering food. Jeffie Eat.
Starting point is 00:45:31 That's the new startup. This is what I do. New startup. Jeffie Eat. Although that one doesn't sound like I deliver. Look at you. Anyway. So, and something smells really good, right?
Starting point is 00:45:44 I mean, something. You're tasting. Right. If it, if it's a McDonald's French fry and you, Right. You're one Frencher's not going to hurt. Right. You're not reaching it.
Starting point is 00:45:57 It's a French friend. No. You just grabbed out one fry out. You're just pulling a fry out. Right. Now, I'm not telling you to lick the ice cream cone. No,
Starting point is 00:46:05 no, no. And by the way, while you order an ice cream cones through an Uber. I don't let you do that probably, but you can't order an ice cream. Really?
Starting point is 00:46:12 Yes. You can. Yes, it's on the menu. That's dumb. Or if you're in a McFurrierieffurry, you know, like you're in a McFloy,
Starting point is 00:46:18 you know, I don't want you to free go in there lick it off. No, we're not doing that. Or like, I don't know, ordering a double cheeseburger and there's like a piece of beef just got eaten off. Speaking of that. The other day, the police
Starting point is 00:46:32 officer that was complaining about the worker taking a bite out of his burger because he was a police officer. Everybody's up in arms. Oh, my gosh. There they go again. There we go again against the police. And then the police officer says, oh, you know what? I took
Starting point is 00:46:48 a bite out of the burger. I just forgot. Two things need to happen. One, the police officer should mop the floor of that restaurant for whatever that other, the guy that he accused of taking a bite out of his burger for a year. And two, the police department needs to up the people they're hiring. You're fired. I don't want the guy to lose his job. But here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:47:14 He could have caused another police versus citizens. Yes, he could have. Yes, he could have. I prefer them saying, you know what, we're nip it in the butt. And the police could look good by saying, we fire this guy because we don't want to saw another cop versus citizen. Right. It's not a cop versus citizen.
Starting point is 00:47:34 We're here to protect them. We want to interact with our people. And I'm sorry, a cop is held to a higher standard than a citizen. I agree, fire him. Never mind. So you convince me. You are, you can not. And they need to uptick a little bit.
Starting point is 00:47:47 You know, I know how, you know, different cities have different degrees of, who could become a police officer. So perhaps the city's level of expertise is lower than other places. So instead of being a 15, you left it to 230. Hey, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, go ahead. Get in here.
Starting point is 00:48:05 You know, we need the police. We need you. Get in here. You're a cop. No problem. You know, you're a nephew to Bill. And Bill is the guy, you know. Bill's the guy.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Bill's the guy. Bill's the man. He's been on the small town police force forever and everybody loves them. So. Take Diggleberry, make him a cop. I forgot I took a bite out of the burger. You know what? It should be fired.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Don't forget to subscribe to Chewing the Fat with yours truly, Jeff Fisher. You know, speaking to yours truly. It's kind of a weird thing. This weekend I got sucked into watching O.J. Simpson tweets and videos. And he always says when he always opens up his videos with yours truly here, or hey, buddy, yours truly here. Hey, this is yours truly. You know, he never says it's OJ.
Starting point is 00:49:00 So, so weird. Anyway, and I love, I am in love with OJ Simpson tweets. We're going to have to, we're going to delve into some, into an in-depth coverage of OJ Simpson tweets, man. Love this guy. I love him. Don't look at me like that. Don't look at me like that.
Starting point is 00:49:13 He was found not guilty. Okay? You can play your, guilty, guilty, guilty, go, go, no, you can play your little games all you want. All right. A man, if it doesn't fit, you must acquit, my friends. Okay? Thank you.
Starting point is 00:49:26 The criminal justice system, it doesn't fit. You must acquit. So subscribe to yours truly, chewing the fat, on whatever platform you listen to your podcast on.

Did you stop in there yesterday? up in there and they're freaking every single size is different. But I ate them so they did not make them here. So what I'm thinking is we have to do a segment here in studios.
Starting point is 00:50:03 So you can validate me saying that, you know, crazy breads are, you know, little sisters just dipping me off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's because they're supposed to. Yeah. Yeah. You're getting ripped off, man.

Starting point is 00:51:06 is now going to be happening. So we don't, we don't know, we don't know what she's going to have to pay. It's a famous song too. It's a huge song. Grammy nominated. Huge.

So, like, Katie was a Christian singer before she was big. So she would have heard this. That's what that was the belief in the trial. And so the jury said, yeah, you know, she, she stole it. Guilty, guilty, county, county.
