Starting point is 00:00:00 The Blaze Radio Network On Demand. Welcome to it. Chewing the Fat with yours, Churley, Jeff Fisher. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today. Wanted to kick it off with, you know, a little segment I like to call
Starting point is 00:00:17 Crime. Crime in America. That would be the banner. Crime in America. Thankfully, authorities in Franklin, New Jersey, say they have captured a man, suspected of dumping his grandson's soul. diapers along several New Jersey roadways over the past year.
Starting point is 00:00:40 We're safe. Now, I will say, as a side note, not long ago, I took a picture of a diaper in a parking lot, calling it trash in a parking lot on my Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, and it's not a pretty sight. And if you have to do something with diapers as you have young children or old people, don't throw them on the roadway. Franklin Township police say an officer acting on a hunch, spotted the 68-year-old, leaving a load of diapers in the area of Routes 47 and 40, around 3.15
Starting point is 00:01:13 a.m. He was taken into custody. Freedman told police, the diapers came from his grandson, adding that leave them around town without getting caught, almost became a game. Uh, yes. Authorities say, and I find this very difficult to believe, authorities say a motorcycle is, crashed in june, after running over a diaper. Now, I don't know how you tell if that's actually a diaper that Friedman threw out of his car. He's been charged with interference with transportation. He faces up to $1,000 in fines. Plus, interference in transportation, plus there's got to be a fine for littering, right?
Starting point is 00:01:56 Every place has a fine for littering now. So we're safe. We are safe. We have nabbed the person who has been throwing. loaded diapers around the interstates of New Jersey. More crime in America. Rally, North Carolina. Dateline. Rally, North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Police say, Rally Durham International Airport officers arrested 43-year-old Tavaris Hargrove and 40-year-old Jansen Anderson and 44-year-old Luz Ortega on a drug trafficking charge first part of this month. but when the results of a laboratory test came back, wrong. The police initially believed that Anderson of New York City and Ortega of New Jersey sold three pounds of cocaine to Hargrove.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Instead, no, he sold them 10 bars of ivory soap wrapped in thick. How was that a crime? apparently you can't do that. It's a crime to take part in what someone believes is a drug deal. So if I believe that you're selling, that's fraud, right? I believe you're selling me cocaine and you're selling me soap. That's also a death warrant, usually in America.
Starting point is 00:03:25 But it is unclear whether they have attorneys. And I'm sure that the police are a little embarrassed and they should be. I love the fact that You thought it was cocaine? It was soap. It's soap. No, it's not. You're under arrest. Ooh, yes it is. It is soap. Dateline. Kansas City, Missouri.
Starting point is 00:03:45 A man whose excessive flatulence forced a police detective to cut short in interrogation has now pled guilty to federal gun and drug charges. Reports that the 25-year-old Sean Sykes Jr. entered the plea Monday. The charges stem from a police traffic stop in September in Kansas
Starting point is 00:04:01 City, Missouri. Officers found a backpack with drugs and guns. Sykes was a passenger in the vehicle. A detective reported that when he asked for his address, Sykes leaned to one side of his chair. I guess he had a chair in the car and not just a automobile seat. And be released a loud flatulence before answering.
Starting point is 00:04:27 And continued to be flatulant. The detective cut the interview short. He farted in the car. They brought him in. He farted in the room. Way too many times. And that was enough.
Starting point is 00:04:44 The detective had to leave. I mean, did he think that once he gets rid of the detectives, it's over? Have you ever worked in a closed room with someone who has an issue? I have. We'll leave the story at that. Dateline. Washington out Washington
Starting point is 00:05:06 State of Washington a judge this is what you want from our judges right or do you a judge removed his robe gave chase after two handcuffed prisoners made a run for it from his courtroom now you see on the video that the guy is trying to leave it the judge
Starting point is 00:05:24 rips off his robe and jumps over the bench and Jacobson was in the lead one of the one of the men identified as trying to break away just Tanner Jacobson, 28-year-old. And Tanner is 22, and Cody Howard is 28. They took off.
Starting point is 00:05:43 So the judge jumps over the bench and starts chasing after them. He finally, he went down four flights of stairs and closed in on the 28-year-old, grabbed him as he was just about to exit the courthouse. Nice. Now, Jacobson, the younger, the 22-year-old, made him. it out of the courthouse. He was apprehended just a little bit, little ways from the courthouse.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Both prisoners have been charged with a horrific crime of second degree escape. I never heard of that crime before. Second degree escape. Don't be trying to get out of a courtroom. The judge will track you down
Starting point is 00:06:27 and tackle your butt. It's just that simple. Dateline, Central Florida. Bartow, City of. Middle School. This is under the heading of crime, but it's also under the heading of a little weird, a little scary. Two girls at a middle school in Bartow, Florida, arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Middle school girls.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Conspiracy to commit murder. Well, the question is, what did they do? That's what you're asking. Well, here, allow me to tell you. They have that a possession of a weapon on school property, carrying a concealed weapon, disruption of school function. According to officials, the 11 and 12-year-old girls, the 11- and 12-year-old girls, the 11- and 12-year-old girls said they were Satan worshippers. They were going to drink the blood of the students they killed. and possibly eat their flesh.
Starting point is 00:07:38 The girls also, according to reports, planned to kill themselves. I don't think Satan wants you to do that. Satan wants you to kill the other people and drink their blood and continue on. I digress. The plan was foiled because after a robocall from the school to the home of one of the girls notified her parents. Their daughter was missing from class. The girl's mother called the school and the assistant principal and said, hey, no, she's supposed to be at school.
Starting point is 00:08:12 They found her in the bathroom. They were taken to the principal's office. One girl was found to have a butcher knife and a kitchen knife. The girls also had, and you think to yourself, what other weapon do they need? A pizza cutter. The girls had a goblet in the bathroom as well. I mean, you can't drink blood unless you have a goblet. Detective searched the girls' homes and found a hand-drawn map that included the phrase,
Starting point is 00:08:41 Go-to-Kill bathroom. Today is a health lesson. Thank Satan. We are doing this in bit. Search of the girl's cell phones found messages regarding the plot. Additional police were already on campus. Student superintendent said the staff responded quickly to report to suspicious behavior. There will be counselors and extra police officers at the school this week.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Yeah, because if you're a student at Barton Middle School, you'll find out that Lucy and Desi, no, wait, that's boy and girl, Lucy and Lori were thinking about killing the other girls and drinking their blood and then killing themselves, you can't go on without therapy. As horrific as this is, and it is horrific and a little frightening. I didn't realize that those are the days we're in that we need therapy and therapists at the schools
Starting point is 00:09:36 but if I was at middle school and they told me you know Lucy and Lori yeah they were looking to kill these other girls and they were going to drink their blood and then they were going to kill themselves not one time ever I promised you would I think I need to see a therapist I can't go on It just doesn't Sorry
Starting point is 00:09:57 I don't know why That bothers me so much But it really does Just go to school Stop it Yeah those girls were crazy And out of their mind They need help
Starting point is 00:10:08 That family Need some kind of help No question those families need help You need to worry about your math You need to worry about your English lesson Let's move on from crime This is a new segment
Starting point is 00:10:36 I'd like to call, wait, what am I doing? That's a phrase I think is not uttered enough. That's also a phrase in stories that I think if people would have said in their life, wait, what am I doing? The bad thing wouldn't have happened, right? So authorities say a man apparently set a California home on fire while using a blowtorch to kill spiders. Now, how do I know that that's wrong? and if he would have said, wait, what am I doing? Probably wouldn't have burned down the house.
Starting point is 00:11:12 And I know that because I remember at one point in my life, I came to my parents' house. We were, had been to, we were going to my oldest, one of my oldest son's football games, high school football games. By the way, happy birthday to my oldest son, Elvis, I love you. Always made me proud. He's a father. He's a husband now. He's a business owner. Doing fantastic.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I love him. Happy birthday. Don't call me. Don't call me, but happy birthday. So we get home from the football game, and I'm at my parents' house, and we walk in, and we notice that from the light pole, the front yard light pole, to this bush in the front yard, there's this giant web, a giant spider web, and it's amazing. And so you can't really see it.
Starting point is 00:12:04 So I go get some spray paint out of the garage and I spray paint the web. And so, I mean, you can see it. And then I thought, well, I'll just burn it. You know, I struck a match on it. But then I realized that's when I went, wait, what am I doing? Because I had already put paint on it. And that would have just, I mean, goodbye to the light pole, goodbye to the tree, possible house, fire department called, bushes are down.
Starting point is 00:12:31 But that didn't happen because I went, wait, what am I doing? And so maybe that's a question we need to ask throughout America once in a while. Wait, what am I doing? And that will save us some of the stories. However, if you don't ask yourself that question, I get to talk about you. Like Humvee dropped from Air Force plane by mistake in North Carolina neighborhood. Dude, do you know what you're out in your backyard and you're like, you see the military plane fly over?
Starting point is 00:13:04 and a Humvee falls out the back? Come on. Now, I'm guessing that the pilot didn't say, wait, what am I doing? I'm guessing that didn't happen. Because had he said, wait, what am I doing? The Humvee would not have been released from the back of the plane. I'm telling you, I hope that Amazon has a better plan of drone delivery than just flying over neighborhoods and drive. dropping goods on top of the houses.
Starting point is 00:13:36 The drones, I mean, I doubt that you can buy a Humvee from Amazon, at least today. Tomorrow you'll be able to, because you know Bezos is going, why can't we sell a Humvee? Of course we can't. You could just drop it in the neighborhood and you're done. So when you have flying Humveys dropping into neighborhoods, definite question needed to be asked. Wait, what am I doing? All right, let's talk a little food. So before we talk a little food,
Starting point is 00:14:10 just let me say that today's been a little frustrating for me because my mouse and my laptop is not working properly. And I don't know if it's the batteries. I don't know if it's the reset. I don't know if it's a computer. But I'm a little frustrated because I can't work without my mouse. And today's been a day of mice. I actually, last night I got home from work.
Starting point is 00:14:35 It was rain late and I walk in the garage and I noticed what it looks like fresh rat droppings in my garage. And I'm thinking, wait, what happened? Wait, what am I doing? That's the line, actually. I got to remember the line. Wait, what am I doing? And I realized another rat has stuck in my garage. Oh, this rain has shifted them into my garage.
Starting point is 00:15:00 I don't know where they're coming from. the neighbor filthy. And so I have a couple of really good rat traps. Put a little rat trap, put a little cheese on that bad boy. Came out this morning on my way to work. There he is. Dead as a doorknail. That trap worked great.
Starting point is 00:15:19 But place a couple out tonight to see if I've got the rest of them. But I didn't say anything to anybody because then my kids are all like, oh, we've got to cut the rat. We've got to see the rat. We've got to catch the rat. No. No. And then I got my mother-in-law saying,
Starting point is 00:15:33 Oh, there's rats in the house. They're mad at the house. No, just in the garage. They're trying to get dry. Trying to be safe. I got my father-in-law. Well, they start eating up everything. They're chewing everything.
Starting point is 00:15:47 I know. That's why I'm going to kill it. No problem. I got my wife. You better kill that. I find that way they're at. I am. That's why I don't say anything.
Starting point is 00:15:57 I just did it. I just did it. I didn't want to deal with it. So if those of you that follow me on Twitter at Jeff EMRA, Facebook, and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, I will retweet. I did already like my wife's tweet and Instagram post as she posted the shot. I sent her a picture of the dead rat. Morning. I love you too.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Speaking of rats, let's talk food. Shall we? Ready to talk food? We can go to animals. We can talk food and animals. One of my favorite little stories today is a dog, is setting up shop outside of McDonald's in Oklahoma. And he pretends to be sick and wines.
Starting point is 00:16:47 And so people give him food. And the McDonald's workers give him hamburgers and throw him food. And, yeah, no, the dog, the dog's fine. The dog, that's actually his gig, is to just sit out there and say, all I got to do is pretend like I'm hungry. That's all. And I'm good. And they just feed me food.
Starting point is 00:17:09 And I love that. Now, the dog probably just ended up seeing people do it, right? Hmm. There's a guy out there. He whines a little bit and people throw him food. Oh, look, honey, the dog is hungry. some of your fries for the dog. The dog now is 850 pounds.
Starting point is 00:17:33 No, I don't know this. Just be ready for that, okay? It's like the people around the street corner begging for money. I know it's difficult. You want to give them money? I do too. And I have in the past. But I always, when you give the money, you're giving it to them out of the goodness of your heart, right?
Starting point is 00:17:50 You want to believe that you're helping them. If they happen to walk around the corner and get in the beamer and go to the neighborhood that you can't afford to live in. That's their problem. That's their problem. It's not yours. Your heart is still pure. You can still be mad at them,
Starting point is 00:18:10 but your heart is pure. You gave it to them out of the goodness of your heart. They are the ones that are pulling the wool over your eyes. So it's their fault. So that damn dog, it's his fault. I'll tell you that right now. Pulling the wool over your eyes like that. So McDonald's has removed its famous happy,
Starting point is 00:18:28 Meal, speaking of McDonald's, a happy meal is gone from the nationwide value menu, resulting in a price hike of about 25%. Which actually means that the happy meals are now $30. I don't know if you've been to a McDonald's drive-thru, and I know they have
Starting point is 00:18:47 the dollar menu when they're trying to be, you know, hey, buy from our dollar menu if you're concerned about the prices. But remember when you used to go to McDonald's and you're in your car, you go through the drive-thru, and you get a happy meal, you get a couple couple happy meals and you get the wife wants a number two and you get you know you get a number three and instead of a soda you get a shake so you up the price a little bit and you hand them a
Starting point is 00:19:09 20 you get some change back and you're done yeah today's world you hand him a 20 and the kid goes uh you're going to need a little bit more than that pal I need at least another 10 maybe another 20 maybe a 10 and a 5 I mean McDonald's that's why I think they need to reevaluate their plan of salads and good eating and just go back to, hey, we're McDonald's. This is what you get. Welcome. But good luck with that.
Starting point is 00:19:43 And if you think that the world we live in is strange, we talked about this, if you're a kid and something bad happens in your school, they send in therapists to make sure you're okay. coming up on Saturday I'm going to have a special show for you this Saturday with Michael Gillum about the future and it is a little frightening
Starting point is 00:20:13 and a little entertaining and a little fun and the name of his new book is the end of life as we know it why doesn't that sound like fun But Michael is great And the book is tremendous And you're going to hear that interview
Starting point is 00:20:35 But my point with that is Is that this is where we're at in America now And yet we're so far ahead in the future Yet we still have people whining Burger King's Halloween slushy Might be giving people black poop That's the headline That is the headline
Starting point is 00:20:56 My headline to that is you're an idiot. Why is that a story? Of course, you mean different colored food changes the color of your refuge from your body? Really? Unbelievable. The new scary black cherry slushy. It's aptly named. And not because the slushy is black.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Turns out the slushy is apparently turning people some unusual colors. According to a lot of Twitter posts. So because Twitter is reporting that they went to Burger King and got the scary black cherry slushy. I hope that Twitter is posting pictures of their refuge in their toilet. Put that up on Instagram. That'd be great. I'd love to see it. Hashtag Burger King poop.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Black scary slushy poop. It's agonizing. And we've interviewed doctors talking about why these slushies are changing your poop. I can't take it. Don't these people have parents? You don't have, weren't you a kid? Doesn't every kid look at their refuge, their body poop, and say, look, dad, it's blue, it's red, it's black, it's what, yeah, that's because that's what we had for dinner.
Starting point is 00:22:19 All right? Guess what? You hit the button and it goes into the sewer system. Do it. I mean, it's, it's not. I realize that it's a learning. It's a learning message. This is what we do.
Starting point is 00:22:34 It's a learning message. Perhaps we need to learn a little bit earlier. Social media has really the dumbing down of America, kind of. And we talk a little bit about that with Michael Gillum on Saturday. You'll enjoy it. He is fascinating. And as long as we're on food, we'll talk about planters. Now making peanut-flavored beer.
Starting point is 00:22:57 They better not put that on airplanes, man Anybody that's allergic to peanuts is gonna freak out And if you're 39,000 feet in the air And somebody, you hear that I love this new peanut beer What? They'll have to land that plane Man, they'll be jumping people out like that Humvee
Starting point is 00:23:21 Over North Carolina, man, people will be dropping that thing down It'll be agonizing. So anyway, it might be good. It's a good way for planners to get into the beer market. Everybody else is. And one more food story for you. Massive money going into the food delivery startups. $3.5 billion into the food and grocery delivery service this year.
Starting point is 00:23:51 That is a lot of money. Last week, Instacart got a $600 million investment that puts its value at $7.6 billion. That's Instacart. Getting ready to go public probably soon. Good investment. Our investment tips with Jeffie. Don't do that. Whatever you do, do not believe that.
Starting point is 00:24:14 DoorDash has a $4 billion valuation, making it worth as much as Wendy's, whose burgers a DoorDash delivers, by the way. And don't forget about Uber Eats. It's expected to bring its current $20 billion valuation to Uber's proposed $120 billion IPO next year. Oh, and if you think that I'm joking about Amazon, we've talked a lot on the show about Amazon drone deliveries, Uber Eats is launching its food delivery drone service in three years. They're already got that in the works. Did you want some, did you want some chick fillet? Dron delivery.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Tremendous. You don't even have to leave your front porch. Think of that. That's why I want to shoot on top of my house that brings it down into the house so I didn't have to open the front door. The drone just drops into the shoe. Into the living room. I could eat.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Oh, did you want some pizza? Yeah, how long? We can get it there in 30 minutes by car, maybe, or we can drone it and have it there in 20. Dron. Pizza. I mean, life is good. Or not so much.
Starting point is 00:25:54 All right, I am so thirsty. Let's head over to the break room and get us some drink at the water cooler. Well, we're at. on our way. Look, we talked a little bit earlier about the wait. What am I doing guy with the spider web? And he's killing spiders with his, with his blow torch and burns the house down. If you say to yourself, whoa, I should have asked myself, wait, what am I doing? And I just want to buy a new house. I need to burn a new house. I mean, I need to find a new house. I need to sell my house. You know what you need to do? You need to contact real estate agents.itrust.com. Real estate agents, I trust.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Look, if you want to sell your home, it certainly is not as simple as it used to be. There's many different things that you need to think about. And you find yourself being caught up in your brother saying that his sister-in-law, twice removed, is a great real estate agent. And she's sold one house at the lake 20 years ago, but she's considering herself a real estate agent. You don't want that. You want somebody that is highly rated, gets the job done, knows about selling homes in today's world. And that's real estate agents, I trust.com.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Thousand towns all over America, they want to earn your business. Let them earn it. Real estate agents, I trust.com. You know, it used to be, you put the four-sale sign up, and two guys down the road would stop in and say, hey, you know, we've been looking at your place for 20 years now. We'll buy it. That doesn't happen anymore. The foresale sign collects dust and spiderwebs grow from the foresale sign to the house, and then you end up accidentally burning the spider web and the house burns down.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Before your house burns down with that spider web that's caught on the foresale sign, real estate agents, I trust.com. Real estate agents, I trust.com. All right. So one of the things that I found fascinating, this story, don't forget, there was one winner of the mega. We talked a little bit about that yesterday. Very disappointing on my part.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Good luck to the person in South Carolina. I'm really happy for him. Couldn't be happier. Couldn't be happier for the one person. However, no one won the Powerball. So the Powerball is now up to $750 million. No one won last night. So Friday's drawing, Baby!
Starting point is 00:28:35 Oh, no, Saturday, right? Powerball is Saturday. Last man with Powerball, $750 million. Saturday night. $750 million. So, good luck. One of the things, one of the stories that came out of the Mega Millions jackpot was a New Jersey man, was walking to buy a lottery ticket, and he wanted to buy the mega ticket.
Starting point is 00:28:56 He thought, you know, who doesn't, it's $1.5 billion or whatever, and he's like, I'm going to go get me a ticket. And he's walking to the store to buy his ticket, and he, trips and breaks his hip and gets sent to the hospital. And 87-year-old Earl Livingston
Starting point is 00:29:14 and he was there, he was in the hospital, he broke his hip, he's his old guy, and the hospital says, hey, Earl, we know you were,
Starting point is 00:29:21 you kept mumbling and babbling your old mouth about wanting to go get a lottery ticket because your hip broke. Why don't you join in our lottery pool? All right, just come out in, you're in our lottery pool,
Starting point is 00:29:32 give us the money, you're in our pool. That pool won a million. from mega. So it actually worked out to be a good thing. However, that having been said. And you think to yourself, oh, all that's so cool. You know, he was in the, he's in with the staff and everything's, you know, great.
Starting point is 00:29:48 And he broke his hip. What's meant to be is meant to be. You know, that's what happened. God had a plan. They won a million bucks. And there was 141 people in the hospital pool. I mean, he was going to walk away with 10 bucks and still have a broken hip. I'd rather go into the store by myself.
Starting point is 00:30:06 But, you know, that's, that is just me. So Sears is still looking to fight back a little bit. You know, we told you a little bit about Toys or Us and not getting completely blanketed out. They still want the name and they want the URL and they want the websites and all of that so that they can still try to come alive. And Sears is still trying to stay alive, right?
Starting point is 00:30:30 I mean, the head of Sears, he told his workers, we need a great season to not have to liquidate. But with that downfall of the $80 million in market share from Sears, that's why Sears is still trying to grab on, right, and then hold on to what they have a little bit. Target is trying to say, we need to grab onto that. Now, this is actually a smart move by Target, right?
Starting point is 00:31:03 1,800 stores. They're within 10 miles of most Americans. Think of that. You've got a target 10 miles within where you live. And that's true. When I read that, I thought, oh, yeah, that's right. So what they're going to do this holiday season, target, is they're going to give you free two-day shipping
Starting point is 00:31:27 on hundreds of thousands of items from November 1st to December 22nd. Now, they usually charge, that's what was so different. A lot of times ordering online from Target is they want to charge that $35 fee unless you use their Target red card. Okay. So, and I remember thinking once we were going to get something and I could get it from Amazon with no shipping. Which one did I buy? Which one did I buy? I can't remember which one I buy.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Oh, yeah, Amazon. So what they're doing now is free shipping. and you don't have to use their red card. So they want your business. They want your online business and free two-day delivery starting November 1st and December 22nd, waiving the fee and waving the red card use. Good for them.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Good for them. That's a good move on them. And I'm not a, you know, I like Target, okay. I'm okay with Target. I know they had their little bathroom to do, but really, you know, that's pretty much over with and I think the CEO came out and started making some comments and the rest of the board went, shut up.
Starting point is 00:32:39 We're already dying on the vine from the bathroom thing. Stop talking about it. Shut up. And that's kind of happened. And that's worked because targets are big and clean and it's worked. So good for them. Another story I found really fascinating, really fascinating is that, you know, we all use Twitter at mine is at JeffeyMRA. We use Facebook at JeffeyMRA and I have an Instagram account at Jeffie MRA and I love Instagram.
Starting point is 00:33:07 My wife loves Instagram, but you think I don't, I never think of it as the one. I'm, and I guess you could say, okay grandpa using Twitter. Okay, grandpa, using Twitter. But according to a survey, we talked about a survey that we did here in this building a few months ago when we had a bunch of teens in and we asked them what platforms they use and what. they don't. Hardly none of them used Twitter. Very few used Facebook. It was Snapchat and Instagram. This survey, 8600 teens, 85% of them active on Instagram at least once a month, and it's now the most used social platform edging out Snapchat. So, and in the article, the way they wrote it is, you know, if you're looking for Facebook,
Starting point is 00:34:05 get a pair of binoculars, 28% down from 40% just two years ago. Bye-bye. Keep selling our stuff. Duck, keep doing it, bud. Keep selling our stuff. Keep telling us who we can follow, who we can't follow. I just, oh wait, Facebook owns Instagram too, never mind. Also, just a little side note there.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Don't forget when you're hating on Facebook so much. They own Instagram as well. Teenagers love Netflix. The streamer takes up 38% of their daily video consumption. I mean, that beats out YouTube at 33%. Which is fascinating because the kids that we talked to, it was YouTube. Not Netflix. So the new programming that Netflix is doing is right.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Cable TV, 16%. Nobody. Nobody. You know why they don't watch cable TV? Because you can't get it on your phone. I can watch Netflix. I can watch everything I want to watch on my phone. That's what I want.
Starting point is 00:35:12 My handheld device. My tablet. My laptop. Whatever you use. But I don't have to sit down. You can't carry that 55 inch. We love the 80-inch televisions. I do.
Starting point is 00:35:24 I mean, I love the screens. I'm a big screen guy. But that's like an anchor. right you got to be you can't bring that with you YouTube Netflix Instagram that's all on my mobile device I can take it with me wherever I want to go good stuff and one of the other things that was really good is vans the shoes became the fastest rising brand in the history of this survey and that's what also in this article makes it clear is that These young kids may have the 10 p.m. curfew.
Starting point is 00:36:06 We hear all the time that's not true. But good. We talk about old school thinking. Why, you'd be home by 10? Right. These consumers, remember that these teens are the ones that are going to be spending the money. They're going to be in the demo in just a couple of years. They're the ones you want to, there's the ones you want to market to.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Huge. And a tremendous story out of Hong Kong and China. You like traveling over bridges. I mean, I miss traveling over bridges in Florida. I love, you know, you like seeing the water or the ocean, you know, the Tampa Bay and giant beautiful bridges. I mean, I went over the old skyway before they, you know, the old skyway you could fish on now, but they tore down the main part. But remember when it crashed and people killed because it broke and crashed through? Well, I rode on that bridge after the crash, so it was just down to one side.
Starting point is 00:36:58 and that bridge was built so that, you know, I mean, it's, you, it's like grates. So when you hit the middle span, it's and you can look, when you look down, you're looking down at the ocean, a little scary. A little scary. Now, the new skyway is way the heck up there. And if you don't want to look down, you just look straight. But, I mean, it is way up there because they built it up higher so they get ships in. Because, you know, they've got Princess cruise lines coming in there. Let's see, we want the cruise business.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Should we build a bridge higher? or lower. I'm higher. We have to build in another 8,000 feet high. Okay. But the longest bridge now in the world. $20 billion. A bridge in a tunnel. It took nine years to build.
Starting point is 00:37:45 It finally, it opened yesterday. 34 miles. From Hong Kong into China. 34 miles. There's cameras. I mean, Wow. There's cameras are going to be monitoring all the bus drivers for fatigue levels.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Right. For drunkenness, drug levels. And if you yawn one too many times, they're going to be alerted. They're going to pull you over and say, we need another driver. And also, what's funny about this is they drive on the right-hand side in China. But in Hong Kong, it's on the left. So at one point they merge and you have to change. And I don't know if you've ever, like I've been in South Africa,
Starting point is 00:38:34 they drive on the opposite side, you know, like they do in the United Kingdom. And it takes a little getting used to. I mean, it is really, it's like you're, when we were in South Africa, it, you know, I didn't have to drive, which made it better. But, you know, we rode around everywhere. And so you're still, you have that American, we drive on the, you know, the last. side. No.
Starting point is 00:38:59 And it's going through intersections. It's just weird. So that's going to take some doing. I mean, the driver's going back and forth to come back and forth and across. That's fascinating. I'd like to see how many accidents that's actually going to cause. And I'm sure we'll have plenty of data showing us those accidents because they're all going to be on video.
Starting point is 00:39:21 So instead of Russian dash cams, you're going to have the China dash cams, man. Hong Kong Foui Oh wait, that's a cartoon Hong Kong Crash Videos China Dash cam videos

Starting point is 00:41:00 Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Jeff Fisher, Chewing the Fat. Remember, we talked yesterday about the possible pipe bombs, and we talked so much conspiracy. It just drove me crazy because we could have gone so much farther down that dark road. And we're already, today has just been monstrous with more theories and more hate. And it's just going to get uglier. Just think good thoughts.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Nobody gets hurt. And it all works out. Because we have the caravan coming. We have the elections come. We have the possible fake pipe bombs that wanted to scare everybody coming. And this over here say that it's all Trump's fault. And this over here say that it's all the last fault. And everybody is at each other's throats.
Starting point is 00:41:46 And because everybody is at their throats is, why you just need to listen to chewing the fat. And relax, a little bit during the day. Take a breath. Listen to Jeff Fisher on Chewing the Fat on the Blaze Podcast Network.
