And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Florida is going to be so po-oed. Okay? A world record, two world records have been set in the state of Louisiana because of grapefruits. Unbelievable. When you think of grapefruits, you think of Florida. And yet, no. A basketball-sized grapefruit has brought two world-a-worlders.

records to Louisiana. Okay, so Guinness was there. It weighed seven pounds, 14.6 ounces, and measured 28 and three quarters inches and 73 centimeters around. That's a basketball. I mean,

congratulations. Congratulations to Louisiana. Mary Beth and Doug Meyer of Slidell, Louisiana for your world record-sized grapefruit. and not being in Florida I'm disappointed

disappointed I'm welling up right now tears for Florida I'm happy I'm crying right now for Louisiana and Florida both through too man there's some serious

grapefruitie basketball side I wonder if it's edible though because the grapefruit's the yellow of pink grapefruit and I can get about softball size are so good and fresh on the tree. You know what?

That rule right now, those of you watching on television, right now you see Chris Cruz with his hand up, we do not follow that rule enough on this program that you have to raise your hand to speak. But I'm glad. No idea how glad I am that you're following that rule today. Yes, Chris. So you said that when you think of a grapefruit,

you think of Florida. Yeah. Absolutely. false. Uh, no. When you think of oranges, you think of Florida. Citrus is Florida.

I know it's the orange. I got it. But citrus is Florida. It is absolutely not it. It is not whatever fruit you said at the beginning. I already forgot the name of the damn fruit. Hey, we're talking about grapefruit.

Great fruit. Thank you. Grapefruit. It is not something that you say, grapefruit. Oh, Florida. Sunshine says. He hasn't. And it's not Jeff Fisher. Oh my gosh.

Stop talking right now. Seriously. Stop. Turn your mic off. You know what you're talking about. So you say Plentine, Puerto Rico. Oranges, Florida. Peaches, Georgia.

Right there. Great fruit, Louisiana. Oh, yeah. That's right off the top of your tongue. Sure. Sure. But it's not Florida. It sure is.

It is not. Yeah. Seriously. I don't even know. I don't know where you've lived in this world. Actually, I do. But stop. citrus is Florida.

See now you're changing it now you say citrus. You said citrus. The grapefruit is a citrus. That's technical. That's technologically, but technical, that word, that's what that is. You said when you think of grapefruit and I even wrote it down. Correct. If you were to say, I'm getting a grapefruit, you got it from Florida.

No, you did not. You think of grapefruit, you got it from Florida. No. That's what you think. Maybe in Tampa. That's what happens. Florida, citrus, oranges, grapefruit. That's what you think of.

You think of oranges first. Orangees, grapefruit, tangerines, anything citrus you think comes for Florida. I'm sorry, you just do. You just do. Thanks for playing. And I wish I could hang up on you right now. All right, let's talk about Popeye's for a second. Popeyes sells out of their chicken sandwiches,

and now we get news that they're going to stop production. That is BS. What are you talking about? It never happened. Oh, sorry. Did I miss? I must have missed it. It must be a shadow or something because I hear voices speaking,

but I didn't recognize anyone to speak. We've got, we're being had by Popeyes. I think we're being had now. They want us now. They're saying, hey, unfortunately we're sold out for now. Sorry, but hey, download our app. And we'll let you know when they're back online, okay? How about you just make sure your stores have your free.

chicken sandwiches. How about that? No? No. Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah. Because amazingly, your chicken sandwich may be better.

I mean, I'm going to, this is a, this is a stretch with the word may be better than a chick-fil-a sandwich. Doubtful, but may be better

than a chick-fil-A sandwich. But I can go to Chick-fil-A 24th six, almost said 24-7, you can't do that, 24-7 at Chick-fil-A, 24-6, and get a chicken sandwich. I can't do that at Popeye's. Something is wrong in America. All right, we'll get out of food now. I'm getting hungry.

I need to order something. So, we got the news yesterday that one of the video cameras in the prison where Jeffrey Epstein stayed was broken. the video camera that's looking at his jail Oh man Right What did we do What I mean is this wrong

Sorry it's just unusable That's all it is We just can't figure out what happened Listen, there's plenty of other cameras That are working in the jail We can get footage from them Like we got footage from a hallway That nobody goes down

We got footage from a side door That nobody ever uses You can watch that Perfect footage But the footage in front of a cell, it's unusable. We can't. Ain't nobody got time for that? Yeah, we can't.

Sorry. Man, I wish we could. Was that really a surprise? Was that a surprise that happened? Because it wasn't to me. And I know that Twitter moments tweeted yesterday. New York Times reporter James Stewart revealed that Jeffrey Epstein claimed to have known potentially damaging information on various famous and powerful people,

including details about their story. supposed sexual proclivities and recreational drug use. We didn't need a New York Times reporter for that. I mean, thanks James Stewart for pretending to do your job as a New York Times reporter, but I got news for you. We didn't need you for that. Okay. We got it.

So what happens now, though? I mean, you got, I mean, they're still trying to drag this guy through the mud. The criminal, well, I mean, yeah. You can do that. That doesn't do any good. He's already dead. He's put an extra bullet in the head. Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty.

So the criminal case against him ends, right? It's Gover. Your dad, there's no more criminal case against you. Done. Of course, you know, with all the public interest, we've got to try to, you know, make it everybody try to be a little happy, which is why the judge had these accusers speak at a hearing.

Who cares? Let them speak. You know what? You know who needs somebody to talk to is James Stewart, the New York Times reporter. Let the accusers go speak to him that he can write about that. I'll read it then.

I'll read what they have to say. No problem. I don't need to see that in the courtroom. That's our tax dollars just wasted. The judge, couldn't he be hearing another case? Couldn't he be doing something else? We have other things to do. Thank you.

The criminal justice system, there are judges that milked the freaking system. These are their stories. Unbelievable. So now they say they're going to be investigating who might have conspired with Epstein. We're going to spend millions of dollars. Who might have inspired with?

Do you think that my girl just let my girl is, do you think it's possible? I mean, I'm pretty sure. She's not been charged with anything. She still has not been charged with anything. And she, she's, you know, denied everything, of course. But she's, I mean, just laying, man. she knows it all. She better be laying low.

I mean, I would not, I would have my hair dyed. I would be not looking like Jislane Maxwell of old, man. That would be someone new. There's still some cases. There's still all these accusers are still going to try to get some money,

guaranteed, because they have, New York has that Child Victims Act so that survivors of Child Sex Abuse in New York, have until August of next year to file lawsuits against institutions and individuals, even if the statute of limitations has run out. I mean, we've thrown in an extra bonus. Oh, this is like Harvey Weinstein law.

The statute of limitations is out. Well, give me a little bit more time. Go ahead. Yeah, you know what, set the clock back a little bit. Give a little bit more time because we want to get these people, they got to be heard. So one woman says she was raped when she was 15 and she sued her at the estate. You know the, how many did the judge hear her to speak? I mean, like 16?

No. I think there was like 16 of them that spoke. I know there was five of them in front of the courthouse with the lawyers. Well, the judge heard 16 people. 16 girls. So, I mean, they're all going to try to get their cuts. Thank you. Did I miss?

No, I didn't raise my hand and you looked at me. Oh, did I figure that? Unless I say yes, Chris. Oh, that. Oh, you have to say that. Oh, you have to say that. By you acknowledging and looking at me, that meant like, you speak. Yeah, no, it's not what that means.

But, you know, nice try. No problem. No problem. As long as we're on criminals, or at least, you know, the possibility of criminals. We got to get something with a, I mean, that post is, I got to work that out. It's fine. Perhaps it's your fault, Jeff. Anyway, Lori Loughlin, back in court yesterday.

And they, you know, they kind of snuck in. You saw them walk in, but you didn't get a really good shot. We got the faraway shots of them walking in once they were in the courtroom and stuff. Walking out, man, they were hounded. And she did not look good. She did not look happy. She had circles in her eyes, but she didn't look good. I don't know.

They pled not guilty. A couple things. And we even talked a little bit about it on Pat, unleashed this morning when I was in for chewing the fat, chewing the fat Wednesday on Pat. Why is this still a case? Why is this still going on? Are you asking me? Why are this still going on?

This is a hypothetical question. Did I say, hey, Chris, why is this going on? Did I say that? You were looking at me again and then you asked that question. I would tell you the story about I used to work at a radio station. Let's just a side done. I was a pause on a lot. I used to work at a radio station where the host and the board operator

hated each other so much that they both taped newspapers up on each side of the glass so they didn't have to look at each other during the show. I ever tell you that story? No. Yeah. Well, I don't know what made me think of it? I don't know what made me think of it.

But the board I've got, I mean, the host came in one day he was so pissed he started taping newspaper up on the side of his glass. I don't want to look at you. And so the board I've got so bad that he did it on his side. And they did that. That lasted for a long time. They did not like each other. I don't know what made me think of that. Anyway, I don't know why this case is still going on.

I got it. It's a federal mail fraud case. Stop it. That's just trying to help her. Yeah, it's a mail fraud. Wire fraud. Mail fraud. That's what they're getting them on.

Just trying to help her kid. She's lost her job. She's lost her job. She's lost it all. And now they try to drag all of Hollywood in. I saw the quote, John Stamos, her partner in crime from the stupid TV show that they were all on. And they asked him,

John, what about Lori? How do you feel about that? Oh, I want to wait until the trial happens, if it does, or whatever the result is, and then we can talk about it. I'll tell you one thing, though. Then we'll talk about it. But you know what, as long as we're here, as long as we're here, I might as well say, that's been strange.

Honestly, I can't figure it out. It doesn't make sense. Duh. I talked to her like the morning, everything hit. I just can't process it still. it's not that difficult, John. And then he went on to say, whatever happened,

I'm pretty sure the punishment is not equal to the crime if there was a crime. No kidding. But you're not going to say anything about it, John, right? You're not going to bother us as what you think. No comment. Instead of no comment, it's no comment. But, you know, whatever happened, let me comment for just a little bit.

Thanks, John, we appreciate it. It's agonizing. But when she was walking out of the courtroom yesterday, They continued, I mean, they just hounded her. Lori, make her my tuition! Now, that was her first time, the first perp walk into the courtroom. My favorite perp walk ever, and I know it's not a perp walk. Don't stop looking at me like that.

All you people back there sitting behind the stage there looking at me, I got it. Don't look at me like that. I'm just letting you know that. So yesterday, I mean, they continued to ask, are you going to settle? They said what's that. Same question. Over and over. And they said nothing, man.

I mean, they found their way to the car. It's one thing about whatever courtroom there is. You're not parking real close to where you walk out. You got to walk around the corner down the block. I mean, we saw De Niro with this newspaper up waiting for his car, man. Is there a garage or something we can pull in? No, that, then you don't capture this. Stop it.

Lori, Lori, Lori! Make remit tuition! That's fantastic. This is great. Except that I think it's ridiculous. Is this Walworthy? Oh, Lori, Lori. That's why I got out here with the whole thing.

Lori! Lori! Hello. Hello. John Rose, KCF News, Laura, I'm walking into the court. Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori,

paper my tuition, Lori! That one is. That one is. Lori, Lori, Lori, that one that got the... The one that got on the mic of the KCF News. Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, paper my tuition, Lori. Lori!

Lori! So good. Yeah, that whole little, her whole little rant. Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, pay for my tuition. Lori. Lori! And they cut it up there. It's so good, man.

It's so good. Maybe we got a new addition to the wall. That's definitely well. Did anybody email you yesterday? Oh, man, you know what? I forgot to check. I forgot to check chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Did you shake our voicemail?

I wish I would look. Did you check our voicemail? At the chewing the fat hotline? Yeah. No, I didn't listen to the voicemail. Oh. I didn't realize that we had. a chewing the fat hotline with a voicemail.

Would you like to have a chew in the fat hotline? Sure. People can leave voicemails? I mean, we should, they're supposed to be able to call. We never get a call. I've had a couple people when I checked the email. You know, they say, hey, I've tried to call a bunch. What time are you?

What time do you usually record? They never get through. So I have a feeling what's happening is that people are dialing 888-90-33-93-93 when the show is live. And whoever is, you know, producing the show, No, baby. Over there on the other side of the glass. You're not going to blame on this.

It's not looking at the phone. I am looking at the top of my head. So here what we do. We'll set up a chewing the fat hotline. Chewing the Fat or the Chew in the Fah? Chewined the Fat. Hotline. And we just want your voicemails.

That's what we want. And they better be good. They will be used. They will be used. They will be used. They will be used. 214. Hold on.

I even have to write this one down. You do. Because I didn't. 214. 214. 735-9356. Now, if I were to call that now, would it say,

welcome to the chewing the fat hotline? It will be as soon as we go commercial break. As soon as we go to commercial break, by the time we go to the water cooler, that will be there. You know what? You will be the voice of that voicemail. Doing the fat hotline.

And that's what it's going to be, chewing the fat hotline. We'll check in with the chewing of the fat hotline once we get into the break. Because I seriously, I got to go into the break room. I need a Coca-Cola zero sugar. Desperately. You have no idea. Especially after, Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori. Pay for my tuition.

Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, pay for my tuition. Lori! Lori! I love the reporter. I love the reporter in the backers. Like, yes. Yes. The other report is fine.

Yes. All right. Let's go to the break room. Oh, bye. That is so good. Well, look who's in the break room. The hero of the environment. Michael Schellenberger.

Michael, I just was perusing your article in Forbes, and I realized that you got to tell me why I need to care. I know everything they're telling me about the Amazon on fire is, you know, wrong. We're getting inundated telling us that the world is on fire, and every big organization is telling me, the world's on fire, but no, not really. I mean, do I need to care? Should I worry? What's happening, Michael?

Yeah, I mean, I think, do you need to care? I mean, I can't persuade anybody to care about the natural environment or about people in other countries. I think you kind of either care or you don't care, right? It's not something you can convince somebody to care. I think most people want the same things, which is that we think that everybody should at least have an opportunity to achieve prosperity, a better standard of living, and have a high environmental quality, a high quality of life that includes a, you know, a wonderful natural environment with clean air and clean water and protected areas in some room on this earth or other species of animals. you know, not just for humans. If we're going to be good stewards,

we should care about the environment. Agreed. Because it's a very special place. But, Michael, do we need to sound the alarm about the Amazon on fire? Should the alarms be sounding around the globe for the Amazon on fire? No, I mean, I think...

We'll shut it off. I think the... You know, I mean, the bad news and good news is, The good news is that if there weren't an Amazon, we would have just as much oxygen. Right. The Amazon is not the lungs of the world. It does not provide 20% of our oxygen. You know, the best available science, which is quite interesting, actually, shows that, you know, the Amazon actually uses as much oxygen as it produces. Wow.

So the idea that it's an emergency that threatens human civilization. or that threatens the species itself. That was just, it's an exaggeration designed to get attention for issues that, I think the scientists have always felt like people don't care enough about. Right. The truth is, is that what we find is that when you do farming and ranching, which are the main drivers of deforestation, when you do them efficiently and you concentrate their production in particular areas,

it actually allows you, it frees up the, the really high quality natural environment that we want to protect. That is caring. I mean, we're supposed to, we're supposed to take care and be stewards of the planet, not just let it go. I mean,

that is caring. That's right. You know, and the good news is that, you know, if we're doing things to be more efficient and how we grow food and how we raise cattle, if we're,

you know, if we're just innovative and intelligent about the economics, the good news is, is that there's an incentive to protect the natural environment. And so, you know, I wanted to write that piece to just say, I think we've been misled into thinking that there's a tradeoff between economic development and natural and environmental protection. And in fact, what's happening in Amazon is not this picture of economic development causing destruction.

In fact, in many cases, what's going on is highly inefficient. And as I point out my piece today, it's inefficient. in part because environmentalists have told people to do the wrong things and focused and not done the right ones. Fascinating that what you just said a couple of minutes ago about the Amazon using as much as it's creating. I don't know that I've ever heard that before. Yeah.

I mean, I, in some ways it looks like somewhat new science, on the other hand, I can't find any scientists to suggest that they ever believed it. So it's not even clear to me where it came from. You know, it's sort of a, what sometimes is. We find certain things in the science that turn out to be wrong. Sure. You know, things around polar bears. Polar bears are not what we should worry about if you're worried about global warming.

You know, but coral reefs are in more trouble, you know. So there's just things that, but I think that there's a sense in which people who won't care enough about the coral reefs and they'll care more about the polar bears. So you see environmentalists trying to make certain issues that are more mediogenic, the focus rather than. the things that really are of concern. Do you feel, we're talking to Michael Schellenberger, a leading energy security and environmental expert here on chewing the fat in the break room. Do you feel that we are being inundated more here in the U.S. to, I don't want to, you know, I try not to get too political on this podcast,

but do you feel like we're being inundated with the, being told that the Amazon is on fire and the earth is going to burn up because they want to drive the, in quotation marks, the new Green Deal? Do you get that impression? There's a way in which, you know, both the president of Brazil is sort of viewed as a Trump kind of person. I know. So the media that are against Trump put him in that category, and they wanted to pick them both as sort of apocalyptic threat. I mean, he's already turned down, right?

He's already turned down the money from Macron saying, you know, we're not. your we're not your little step kid over here I'm not going to take your little help money yeah he's also he also overreacted by sending in the military I think there's you know I think there's

confusion on all sides about what really matters here I'd like to see the president of Brazil engaged constructively with the farmers there and not you know I think the the idea that it's just that it should either be a free for all or there should be an end to development.

Those are two very extreme views. They sure are. Middle path of smart development. It's something this, you know, it happens every year, right? I mean, this is something that happens. This is an earth global thing. I mean, it happens every year. So we should be, you know, they should already have some sort of planned implementation to

to take care of it, right? I mean, why don't they? Well, this is what I did at my piece today, which is that there was this idea that they would save all this, they would protect all this forest by requiring farmers to only use 20 to 50% of it, depending on where you are. And what that meant was that you end up actually having more farming pushed deeper into the forest, which are the parts that you, that most people will, you know, and including most scientists care the most about, the more biodiverse regions, as opposed to concentrating the agriculture. in the more savanna areas with the soils drain of water and it's much more suitable for soy production. So instead of doing that, they ended up pushing the expanded agriculture and they fragment the forest. I think the evidence is pretty strong that a better approach is to concentrate the agriculture so that you can then more easily protect the more biologically

valuable areas. And so in my piece I talk about, you know, 80% of the Amazon proper has already been protected. So what that risk of losing is another, you know, is really around another 20%. So, you know, it's really about, it's really about some long-term planning. And that's something that conservatives haven't tended to want, but, and I think liberals have wanted really anti-development. But I think the truth is that when you're dealing with a place that's as big as, Amazon. You have to remember it's the size of California to the Mississippi River. It's a huge area. And it's being destroyed. It's almost going to be gone next year. I mean, we're just taking

it's going to be gone, right? It's over with it. Right. There's so much exaggeration in terms of its threats. Absolutely. I mean, I've pointed out that the increase over the 10-year averages of this year appears to be 7% in terms of new fires. So there is an increase in deforestation There's a few fires, but certainly it's not the end of the world. All right, so getting away from the Amazon a little bit, you know, and coming it back into the United States since, you know, I mean, that's what I care about. Brazil's burning.

Oh, well. That's just a joke, Michael. I'm just teasing. Bringing it back into the United States, you know, the last couple of years we've had such, you know, such strong fights over some wildfires and what's happening here in the States. do you see any movement forward in taking care of that here in the United States in your environmental guru status here in the United States?

Not enough, and of course I live in California, which is a major forest fire, yeah, major forest fire state. So yeah, not enough. In fact, you know, PG&E, our big utility actually went bankrupt. Yeah, bad. Because of the lawsuits from stemming from the fires. So not enough. I mean, the problem, as usual, it's just who's going to pay for people to live right next to the forest?

Who's going to pay for that? How does it get done? And so far, the state and the utilities have basically wanted the other guy to do it. And as a result, it hasn't gotten done. Right. So, yeah, I mean, I think to your point, we're not, as Californians, we have some pretty big fires here. And yet we don't, I don't see the president of Brazil telling us that we need to, you know, you don't see him lecturing us or offering us $20 million to try to solve it.

It's pretty silly. Maybe we just take it from it. What do you think? We just go down there and say, we're taking our $20 million to get out of there. And half of the Amazon. I mean, I would tell you what's funny is the idea that $20 million is viewed by, whatever viewed by anybody has a serious amount of money. Boy, no.

In today's world, not even close. a drop in the water bucket for any forest fire, man. That's nothing. Amazing. It's the cost of 20 houses in California. Right. And by the way, Jeffrey, before you dismiss Michael, I want you to understand that Michael is a climate guru

and a high priest of atomic humanist movement. Thank you. So did you mention that he's a high priest? You did not. Yeah, I mean, I was going to close out with this. Oh, you were going to close out with that. priesthood. Okay. Okay. I'm just making sure that you honor him as he deserves. I mean, should I, do I need to put my hands together and bow? Yes. You know what? Yes, you do. Michael

Schellenberger, I have my hands together and I'm bowing. Thank you so much for joining us on Chewing the Fat here. Thanks for having me, guys. I appreciate it. Take care, man. Appreciate it.

Okay. I know this is going to come as a big surprise to you, but Gillette has decided that they're just going to start selling shaving products again instead of giving us sermons on toxic masculinity. Apparently. I don't see the numbers of shaving devices from Jivet. They're sales numbers. But since they're going to go back to, I don't know,

selling us shaving products and not giving us sermons, I would venture to say that the ad campaign didn't work. wait so you tell me that the ad campaign that had a transgender person being taught how to shave by her father I mean its father did not help I'm guessing it didn't work or the other one that called men which wasn't a bad commercial by the way

it was a horrible commercial no it wasn't it was a horrible commercial of course you thought it was a great commercial of course you thought it was fine whatever that didn't make me want to buy Gillette do you buy Gillette Do you even grow hair? No.

I've never seen you with facial hair. Did that stop? I've had beards and goatees and stuff. You talk about your goatee, your beard, your bradale, your long hair. I don't know. I'm nervous. But there's, I like to have a clean shaving face, Chris, and my haircut. I like, I like it like that.

That's why I keep it that way. Are you the dos ecky guy? That's why I like it that way. Nobody tells me. and shave my face. That's the way I like your face is shaved. And have your hair a little bit long in the back. Nobody tells me to live like that.

I'll tell you that. I do it to because I want to. Not because the wife tells you you're not allowed? Oh, how dare you? How dare you? So I usually, you know, there's usually a few days of my life when I don't shave. Vacation?

Heart attack. Did you shave? Yeah. Yeah. Because after about what I... Are you allowed to shave after a heart attack? What I like... Because if you cut yourself, do you bleed out?

I know. You have to be careful. That's what I'm saying. You come home and you cut yourself shaving, you're dead. You can't get to death. No, shaving. Shaving. So, yeah, the little piece of toilet paper is not stopping that.

Not stopping that. There's not enough. You're putting rolls on your back. How about some alcohol in it? Is that stopping it? That's amazing. So, uh, I like, personally, I like to shave about every third or fourth day.

Are you using an electric or you're going by hand? When it wasn't, when I didn't have to be on TV every day, that's what it was for me. Most of the time was every third or fourth day. I like to shave. Electric or by hand? Both. Really?

Yeah. Because the electric. Single or full-blade? The electric, you know, gets you started, but then in the shower you can get it. It feels nice and smooth. One blade or four blades? 18. I didn't know Gillette.

Congratulations to Gillette. And not to be outdone, not to be outdone by Victoria Secrets. What did she do? No, she's fine. They've got their transgender promotional model now. I know we talk to her.

But not to be outdone. Chanel has now selected its first openly transgender model for their beauty care. Yeah, and I reached out to her. So we might be talking to her. Let's bring her on. She's in London right now. She's traveling. Yeah, let's bring her on. Yeah. You said it right. Yeah, bring her on. She's... Which way they're going. Here's the problem having with her and the chick with Brazil.

Oh, they can't speak English. Yes. And if you look at their social media accounts, they're a little bit naughty, especially the Chanel girl. Right. She has one of her stories that is, I don't know, all naked pictures. And I don't think... I hate that. I hate that. I know. I don't think, what are you looking? I hate that. Stop looking for her Instagram. You know the people behind you can see your screen, right? Oh, hold on.

Later. But the partitioner. Put it up, put it up. But I was looking at it. I don't think, well, Chanel, I don't know. It's 2019. It's 2019. So I might be looking at wrong.

They might not. I don't think they care. I mean, it says here that the Teddy Quinn-Liven. I'm sorry? Teddy Quinn living. She's a teddy? That's what it says here. Was discovered four years ago by Louis Vuitton's creative director.

So, you know, he's making the round. So whatever, it doesn't matter, right? I just say, you know, if I'm Chanel, do I want someone that is as open as that to be my person? I know, that's what I'm saying. But then again, you know, are those people your customer base? Who is your customer base? Because if those people are your customer base, compared to a, no, to a, I don't want to say normal,

because that sounds homophobic, to a general population. No, you keep going. You're going to keep going. Absolutely. You don't have to raise your hand. You just keep right. To a normal society, who is bringing the money, them or the normal society? I know, and I don't think it matters.

I know, that's what I'm saying. We had this conversation on fair. Taylor Swift, the perfect example. Perfect example. I don't decide that it's all about the LGBTQ. Now, do the LGBTQ support Taylor Swift? Absolutely. Does that not even 1% of America, let alone the world,

I don't know what the percentage is around the world, but it can't be more than, let's even say it's 10%. Let's give them 10%. Wow, that's very generous. Which it isn't, by the way. I say 5%. Let's give them 10% worldwide. I'll let you give it.

Even if it's 10%. What about that 90%? The 90% is what's paying the bills, Taylor. Absolutely. That is economic 101 right there. So go ahead. I don't know. I don't know.

You start messing around with the maintenance or the normal people. Chris Cruz's words, not mine. You know what? You can quote me on that. So I'll leave you with a story that had me thinking last night like, oh, I could not take it. I think I would have just kind of wished myself dead. So a lady is working in her backyard in a, Oregon on her septic tank and the top breaks and she falls in her septic team now that would be bad

enough it would be bad enough falling into your septic tank because I mean you know what a septic tank is right that's a separate household container for your human waste so that's where my poop goes that's correct oh okay that would be part of your human waste yeah that's what happens at poop so you can't say poop would you have to be old professional so she falls in. She's there for three days. Three days. She's laying. So probably after the first day, you're all puked out. It's over, right? I mean, you're puked. There's no more pukin. You know, the smell is gone. You or the smell is now incorporated itself with you. That's in your ears. It's in your mouth. You're done. You're still alive,

but it's in you. You're done. And so they find they pull her out, they grit her out of there. take her to the hospital, they hose her down. The one firefighter said, yeah, we get a lot of stuff around here, but hadn't had that happened before. No kidding. I mean, that, you talk about something that's a crappy deal, man.

There are no rim shot for that? Thank you. I mean, you talk about something. You talk about something that's a crappy deal. You're talking about laying in a septic tank for three days. Download and subscribe to more content. at the blaze.com slash podcasts.

All of a sudden we got to talking about affairs here, behind the scenes here at Chewing the Fat. And we got to talk about affairs because I read a tweet from Uber Fax. I love that account. And the Uber Fax tweet said, people who masturbate regularly are more likely to be managers at work. This is according to some survey from this year. Okay, so I got into an argument with another employee telling me that the work,

okay, so the reason he had, I wonder if they're doing it at work. What doesn't say that they're doing at work? They're just saying that if they're doing it, they're more likely to be managers at work. However, it would surprise me that they're doing it at work. That's why you have affairs at work, right? And then he's trying to tell me that he go, affairs at work is the worst place to have an affair.

You can't have an affair at work. Yeah, that's where you have it. Thank you. Even I know that. I'm from an island. Even I know that. I remember raising your hand. Oh, sorry, even I know that.

You have an affair at work. That's what you do. That's why you have them. Wait, why are you having my work? We haven't covered that. Because that's where you meet the person. You like things that you both like. You're here.

You're working every day. You're together. That's part of the daily grind. You understand each other. The what? The daily grind. You understand each other. It just goes into the whole workwife, work husband kind of thing, or is that separate?

It's a little bit different. So are you having the affair with a workwife or work husband or you have your work wife and you have an affair at work? You can have both. You can have both. It's not the same thing. You could have both because the work wife or husband is someone that you're working directly with now could turn into the affair

but you know like if you're the due person or you're you know co-running a department that kind of thing so you're you get constantly talking and back and forth and lunches but the

which turns then you know it's possible that that turns into an affair two males two women male and women however I don't care hey I'm not judging but that's a thing you need to do but then I'm told that's the worst place because when it ends, it gets ugly, and you don't want to have that

ugliness at work. It doesn't get ugly. It, the only reason, when it ends, it does get a little ugly, but it stays, it's been such a closed environment affair anyway. This is what I'm told, by the way. I was going to say. Oh, okay. This is just a hearsay.

Well, it's not here. I mean, I've talked to people. Oh, you talk to people. You know, I've talked to people. They've told me what's going on, that kind of thing. And other people open up to you somehow. I don't know why. That's a fact, by the way.

I know that. So you can raise your hand if you want from now on, but I'm just telling you that's a fact. It gets ugly because one or the other obviously wants the commitment to go farther than just the work affair. They want it to be over on the other side. More serious.

Yeah, more serious. They want the you and them to be home. Yeah, they want the ring. And one of you. are saying, ooh. Baby, you were just a thing

that I needed to tap. I love you, baby, but, you know, I got, yeah, that's more serious than this.

This is just for me to have fun. I got eight kids at home. I got the life. You know, eight kids. I know. I know.

Now I'm trying to think, who has to be so that lasts for a little while, that anger lasts for, but you still have to deal with each other at work. Yes. So you only deal with each other

if the work, if it's work-related. Yes. Then it's, you know, then you'd handle that and you're done. So, ooh, she's, what are you doing to piss her off?

Nothing is just another day. Probably your time of the month again, you know. You know, you're not going to say, oh yeah, well, we just sent it an affair three weeks ago. She's still pissed at me. What? Yeah, no, it's just like, no idea why I want to start talking about stupid affairs. That's all. Well, you know, if they don't like that, it could just call it our shooting the fat hotline

and complain there. By the way, the Chewing the Fat Hotline, 214, 7359356. And it's powered by Patreon Mobile. I am a fan of the Chewing the Fat Hotline powered by Patriot Mobile. Now, you can call the 888-90-33-93 number. I'm looking at the line right now. But apparently during this time of day, I'm looking, I'm looking right now. It's just me guessing this time of day, it doesn't work, it doesn't light up.

We've got some kind of blocking thing going on. Here, all right. Give me a line number from 1 through 12. line number. Give me a line number. 18. So we can dial out. Yes, we can.

I don't know if you can dial in. 8.8.90, but never mind that number anymore. No, that number, no. Never by that number anymore. We called Patriot mobile. We called Preetermort. We called 214-735-9356 is the chewing the fat hotline powered by Patriot Mobile. Yes.

And, uh, oh my God, we have a line. Hold on, here we go. Are you ready? Here we go. Oh, they dropped. It was from Denton, Texas. too. I'll keep looking at it again.

It's funny how it just happened to be. Oh, there's a call. Oh, it dropped. Oh, darn the luck. It was on line number one. Let me see if line number one works. Yeah, it works. Well, yeah, it works to dial out.

Yeah. But it was just blinking. Uh-huh. Sure it was. Oh, look, there's another call coming. Oh, it dropped. Oh, darn, the luck. Wow, I wish it had to drop.

There it is. It's open. They hung up again. So Netflix is busy pissing people off again. They are doing a theatrical release for the Irishman. It's going to release. Are you ready?

I am. Are you going to go to movie theaters? I don't know. Because it's a month later that you get to watch it on Netflix. I don't think I can wait. I don't think I can wait. I don't think I can wait. That was a double dip from me now.

Well, I got to pay at the theater. Think about it. Why are doing the movie release on movie theaters? Well, that's for, that's to get the Oscar nomination. To shut up Stephen Spielberg. Right. So I want... Now, but see, this is another way

that they're pissing off the movie theaters. We have a call? If somebody calls, just put them... I'll answer right away. I will, okay. I saw you reach it for the phone. I'll just take it live.

Okay, I know, you would take it live. We'll just do it live. We'll do it live, yes. I'm not sure what that means, but we'll do it live. Just bring it up. All I'll do is punch it up. I'll break right to...

I know. That's what I'm looking at you. All right, keep going. But the theaters are mad. because Netflix is putting it in for the month, the first through the 27th before they released on Netflix. And the theaters are like, well,

we usually have it for a three-month grace period. Shut up. That's what Netflix is telling them to. Shut up. You're lucky that you're getting it. And that's my point all along. Go ahead. If you go on a new movie,

send it to the theaters. But I should be able to access it after them. I'll give them a month. Absolutely. At my home, I'll pay, like I already, pay for Netflix so I get it or if I if you put it up to that whatever whatever pay-per-view app you use if I can get it I can download and I can watch it and

there you go we're good so I don't have to watch the theater if I don't want to like in game was in movie theaters for like six months right why I know what you're trying to do trying to get the one billion dollar you know I get it but what to this day it's still the movie theaters and I have it at the house if you have not bought the movie by now I I think it's sent to take it off the shelf and put something else up there. That's very possible. But I don't know that I'm going to go to the theater to see it, though.

I mean, I hate that. It's like I feel like I know what they're doing, you know, for the Oscar to slap Spielberg in the face. And that's the only reason why I want to do it. And they're teaching. And they're actually setting the groundwork for the theaters to get used to having it for a month. And then we get to watch it at home. Okay, get over it. sell your freaking popcorn for a million dollars

for the first month and then live with it. Yeah. If the movie's not, I'm even willing to, I mean, I've broke this down before, but I'm willing to give them more than the,

a lot of time if it's, let's say, the top three. If you're in the top three movies, you get to stay for a little bit longer. Yeah. If you're in the top three, let's say,

for how long? I don't know. I mean, that's negotiable. We could talk about, let's say, new releases. Okay, end game.

End game, one's the top, And it's still the top movie right now. No, it's not. Well, yes. No, it's not. You mean week by week? Yeah.

Okay, then we know. Yeah, we all time. I mean, of course, all time. But, Ant's Game would have been in, say, let's see, new releases get a month. And then if you're in the top, or two weeks. You get two weeks. Okay.

If you're in the top two. Top three? Maybe top five. Top five. After the third week, I can't get it at my house until you drop out of that. After that, I get to pay. So is that only digital or am I also?

So only digital. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So. Only digital and it's going to be for like 24 hours. All right, I pay the, whatever it is, 15 bucks or 20 bucks, whatever it is for the, you know, that new release. So you're not owning it and you're renting it.

Yeah, I'm renting it for 24 hours and it's gone. But I get to watch it. But you get to watch it. it. I would not mind that at all. Not at all. Not at all. And the theater still get their cut. The theater still get their cut. Yeah, they're going to get people like. They're going to try. I'm willing to pay more at my home to watch it. How much more?

Well, that's what I was saying. A new release for 24 hours. 25 bucks? Wow. I'm just saying, I don't know. I don't know. But you still send me money, though. You go to the freaking movie theaters is $50. You can't go through. You can't pull up to the movie. I drive by a movie theater. It charges me.

Movie theaters are turning into like the car repair shops. I drive by them. Boop. It automatically deducts money from my checking account. You get subscribed to Shrine the Fat when you go to the movie theaters? Yes. Oh. Yeah.

Actually, I have worked out a deal with the theaters. Oh, we have? Boop. See, that's where they get you. It's kind of, it's just not the exact same boop, but it's still a boop. Yeah.
