And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Hello. Welcome to Chewing the Fat with yours truly Jeff Fisher. I usually like to start a little more update, upbeat for the show, but it's a sad day here at Chewing the Fat. I've been in tears for most of the morning. As I sat preparing to put the show together, all I could think about was, the United Nations is running a deficit of $230 million. And they may run out of money by the end of this month, October 2019.

Do I want it board it up, enclosed, and everyone at the United Nations to go back to their own countries? Sure. Sure I do. It's so sad that they're going to have to leave, and they're going to have to go away. If our president of the United States bails these sons of guns out, I'm going to be pissed.

No. I don't care if he buys the building and turns it into the Trump UN building, the U.N. former Trump Hotel building. I don't care. But the only money I want to spend on this is for the United States to pay for U-Hauls, backed up to that front door.

Bye. See you later. You know, you might be able to get a good deal on, I don't know, there's a city somewhere, not in the United States that you could maybe have a United States. Fine, no problem. Have a nice day.

And you can continue to do whatever good work you do there. Okay. But, bye-bye. Bye-bye. day. Sorry to see you go. We don't need big UN bailout. A bye-bye.

Fact, said Jimmy Carter there. Habitat for humanity can start boreding that place up. What else has he got to do? You know, heal up from falls and stuff. Don't mean to make fun. Sorry. I know. He's an old guy. Be alone. All right. A couple scary things to actually talk about here, it's flu season. And I know, you're thinking, how can it be flu season? It's not even winter yet.

You get your shot yet? But now, no, not yet. But I am going, I mean, I've got to, right? I mean, this is like pushing me toward getting a shot. I did last week, so what are you waiting for? So you're good? Yeah. I mean, good, good.

Thank you. It's free for veterans of walking. Maybe. Can I borrow your card? Absolutely. Thank you. That's what I'm talking about. Because you have to show a card, right?

Yeah, you have to. Well, my driver's license has the veteran thing on it. So I'll give you the other card that didn't check. Oh, you know, I haven't got updated my driver's license yet. Oh, you know what? I've got my other card. And then I get the free shot. Yep.

It's actually, it's actually free for me to, except the insurance pays for it. No grenade coverage. No, there's, that's not funny. that's not funny we'll get no respect for Grenada man we saved we saved the western hemisphere from communism taking that over but that's don't it

I don't like to talk about it I don't like to talk about it but it's definitely free for me in the insurance pace where because every place I go want a flu shot want a flu shot want a flu shot so all they want is the flu shot money man all they want it

and I have to get it because my wife can't get it because it's you know she would kill her She's allergic to that too? Yeah. How can you be allergic to medicine? It's made with like eggs and stuff.

She can't have that. She drop over dead. That'd be a shame if she got that. No, seriously. Don't make a joke about that. Wow. Are you? Why do you even think like that?

Anyway, now's the time. Get your flu shot. Get your flu shot right now because we don't want. Did you know that? I was looking at the story that it was amazing to me. how many people they say actually got the flu last year. 43 million, they claim, caught the flu last year. 61,000 people died.

I'm sorry? According to this, 61,000 people died from the flu, according to this. Wow, get your shot. And if you start coming down with the flu, stay home infect your kids infect your wife infect the house don't affect other people don't affect the masses

wipe down the door knobs practice good hygiene all of it just don't be going out in public and if I have to touch a shopping cart that you touched once you had the flu now I'm mad now I'm mad

sure it's one thing touching your kids poop on my shopping cart I just don't want to catch the flu So you're okay with pink eye Yeah yeah Of course You don't yeah Whatever you do Man, this flu season

When you think about rubbing your eyes Or you know Putting your fingers to your lips Don't Holy cow Don't do it Especially after you've I mean I really do

I'm mad at myself When I go shopping And I don't hose down After I shop If you use a cart I don't have my kids Hose down after I'm like Ah

the kids are already home and they've already touched everything in the house and shopping so it doesn't matter then it's too late I mean what you need to do is hook up a giant dispenser of anti-bacterial soap in your car

so anytime you go out in public as soon as you get in the car hose it down I mean it's it's dangerous out there and how dangerous well now we

we have an invasive fish here in the U.S. And of course it started in Georgia. Where is the Walking Dead from? A Georgia. This fish, don't look at me like that. This fish can breathe air.

It can breathe air. I mean to tell you, we do not want any more of the northern snakehead fish in the U.S. In fact, the Georgia

Department of Natural Resources and Wildlife Resources Division, if you find one, kill it. That's how serious it is. Now, of course, they want you to kill it, and then, hey, take a picture and let us know where you found it

and, you know, put it in the freezer so we can come and take a look at it. But no. So I thought, can they really be there? So it must be like, and they, you know, they can, if you catch it, if you're fishing and you put it in your boat, it still lives for, you know, a few minutes in your boat because it's breathing air.

The northern snakehead is freshwater species. Can't tolerate the salinity. So no saline, no salt water. It can breathe air. It uses a subbranical organ and a bifurcated ventral aorta, who doesn't have those in their body. that permits aquatic and aerial respiration. So it, now it can live out of water for several days.

They've been known to, they come on land and they just, they just wiggle their way around trying to find other pieces of water. They can live in mud. I mean, uh, no. They must be,

uh, killed now. Now, get this. They can double their population in 15 months. So they could be taking over fast. And you think, oh, come on, one fish equals two fish. Uh, yeah, no.

The female can lay 100,000 eggs a year. Now, of course, you know, all of them don't live. So let's say 10% live. Now you have 10,000. Uh, we could be killed by the. We could be taken over by the northern snakehead fish. So if you see a northern snakehead, kill it. So we talked a little bit, I think last week about the Ronan Farrow new book coming out catch and kill about Matt Lauer.

And I touched on it yesterday a little bit, but I was reading more about it. I mean, wow. Now, we all knew Matt Lauer was... Dirtbag. And, but I didn't realize that he was such a dirtbag. Now, according to this,

the one producer, this Brooke Nevels, she's the one that was kind of kept quiet during the Weinstein case. Ronan Farrow said that NBC wanted, you know, they didn't want anything, want her to speak.

and then they throw the Weinstein stuff because they tried to keep it silent. But she claims that Lauer anally raped her at the Sochi Olympics in 2014. That's what she claims. Now, how bad does it have to be?

All right? How bad does it have to be? Now look, Lauer wrote an open letter about this about this relationship. He categorically denies it and calls her a willing partner.

Okay, so I mean, he's admitting to having the affair. She's a willing partner. I had an extramarital affair with Brooke in 2014. It began when she came to my hotel room late one night in Sochi, Russia. We engaged in a variety of sexual acts. And then he goes on to list those acts. I want to tell you, but just know he goes on to list those acts.

And calls her a willing partner. She's calling it victims, victim blaming. Because now they claim that he went on to have an ongoing affair with her during this whole time and after. Wow. and she couldn't say anything because of the power of Matt Lauer and NBC. Okay. Okay. All right.

Do you see the seven by the ex-wife? All right. I mean, she's got to be pissed, right? I mean, first of all, Lauer is walking. He's like a walking dead now. I mean, he's nothing. They got divorced in September. Yeah.

I mean, he's got nothing. He's, you know, he maybe, I don't know if what he has left in his bank account. Oh, you know, he's probably, he, he probably has $10 million in his bank account and feels like he's broke. Because he probably, you know, in his life he is, right? Because he's, you know, there's no free cars, free plane trips, free rides. He's not, there's not a chance a barmaid hooks up with Matt Lauer these days, man. He is a loan. And so the statement by the ex-wife.

This is by Annette Roke lawyer. This is by the lawyer. Okay. Her lawyer spoke and says, in response to your inquiry, our client has asked us to tell you that now that the parties are officially divorced, her party and only concern is for the wonderful children. Yeah, we want nothing to do with it. Have a nice day. Stop bugging us. I got my money.

You have to ask, though. I got my money. Get yours. If good luck, God bless. want nothing to do with him. He's admitting to all these extra marital affairs. He's admitted to them because he wants you to believe that they're all willing partners. And, and.

I'm not touching that. And I know. See, that's the problem. There's probably some that are true. That's where, there's where the problem lies. I would doubt that every one of these is not true. You know what I mean?

this you're telling me that you couldn't say no because of the power of Matt come on it's Matt Lauwer how can you say no how can you say no from the today show how can you say no it's today let's try no yeah there you go you did it for your advantage for you to produce you is that Lauer's fault yes it is because he knew that I couldn't say no. Oh. Oh. Oh, okay.

Okay. Whatever. I just, the whole world is full of dirt bags. We all know that. Speaking of dirt bags. Alec Baldwin. Our favorite dirt bag.

He was screwed out of some money the other day. And I couldn't happen to a nicer guy. But I don't want other people to get screwed out of the same money. You got scammed? Yeah. And it wasn't even that much, right? A hundred bucks. So it was like, what is it?

He, the wife, and three of the kids, I think were out. So it would have been 160 bucks, a couple hundred bucks. Yeah. But he wanted to, he was taken, he was out with the family. And, well, three of their four children. And they wanted to go see the. Was Ireland there? Yeah, amazingly no.

And she might have actually was, just go up to get the money. You know, just you both, just take what you can from him. They want to go see the, he says, I don't know, let's go see the Statue of Liberty. We can take the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. Oh, that's a good gig. Right. That's a good job.

Yeah. So he bought tickets. There you go. 40 bucks ahead. Okay. Okay. He bought tickets. On the ticket has said,

tours are us, see New York from the water. And the destination on the ticket was Liberty, New Jersey. They just put you on a bus and send you to Liberty, New Jersey. You're not seeing you. You're not going to the Statue of Liberty. I love it. You got scammed out of a couple hundred bucks. And he said, he posted, he goes,

oh, we could take the Staten Island Fury, which is free. We just could have done that for free. A duh. Then why are you looking for tickets? Duh. Because he thought he thought he was going to get a better deal, right? Thought he was going to pay this guy and get a better view. I don't want to be the freebie guys.

Right. I want to be upstairs with a champagne bottle. I don't want to be with the unwashed masses. I just want to do. You're going to take me this a separate private thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 30 bucks a person. 40.

Oh, 40 bucks a person. Yeah, no, for you, it's 40. Oh, okay. I heard you charge that guy 30. I know, but. Yeah, but, yeah. I got an extra champagne. We'll play music.

So, just if you go to New York and you want to see the Statue of Liberty, just take the Staten Island Fairy out there and see them. Not go to Liberty, New Jersey, though. But don't buy the tickets. Don't take the, uh, S.I. Ferry. You know he was mad. The SI Ferry is a bus ride to Liberty, New Jersey.

Oh, my gosh. He's still pissed. How far did he go until he found out that he was scammed? Go to the bus? Getting ready to get on the bus. And then he actually looks at the ticket. That's what he posted. Oh, that's so good.

I know. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. But I don't want that to happen to other people. No, no, no. This is a public service announcement. Thank you. Yes. Thank you.

You know, there's only maybe a couple of people on the planet that I wish this to happen to. Stu? Okay, more than a couple. Oh, my gosh. I want Stu to get out of the bus, thinking the bus has taken him to the ferry for the ride and ending up in Liberty, New Jersey. Oh, do I want that to happen? Please, dear Lord, wait.

Dear Lord, I know we haven't talked in a while, but. I was just thinking that, you know, maybe, maybe you could, you know, just help me out. It's not even for me, well, it is for me. But please let Stu get bamboozled by the SI Ferry people. Amen, thank you. Oh my gosh, do I want that to have? Thank you for bringing that up.

Okay, so there's, you know, maybe a few people on the planet that I want to get bamboo. at the SI ferry. In fact, for Stu, I want him to get charged more than 40 bucks.

And it's him and two kids. I know. I know. See, I feel bad about the kids. Yeah. Yeah. I feel bad about the kids.

If it's just him and the wife. The wife. Yeah, dear Lord. Hey, this is Jeff. I know we haven't talked in a while, but I'm just wondering if maybe we could do me a favor. Again, it's not really for me.

Well, it is for me. It is for me. But just help me out and see that Stu has to take the SI ferry to Liberty, New Jersey, please. Just let him get on the bus and realize it was wrong. I don't want any harm to come to him. Amen. Thank you. All right, let's take care of a little business before we, before we end up.

So have you heard of gas lighting? And we've talked about it a couple of times. It seems like I've talked about it a couple times. Is that the lantern that you used to look for a ghost? Yes, that's what it is. Yeah. It's remember they had the lamp lighters where you, before they had electricity, you go around on the last side. Yeah.

So they'd call you the gas lighter. Oh. That's a cool job. That's a cool job. That is a good job. I want to be a gas lighter. Every night starts to get dark. Yeah.

Yeah, you just go with a little thing and let him up. Light them up. Then you got to go shut them off, though. Just blow on it. Sit in a bar until it gets light. I'll tell dog. Oh, you got to shut the lights up. Yeah.

A little stick with the hood on and then that's pretty cool. Yeah. And then part-time job after that is waking people up, right? Used to be the alarm guy. Yep. And you'd go, like if you're up on the second or third. No, I'm not walking upstairs. No, you're not going to stay on the sidewalk.

Yeah, you got the stick. You got the stick. You got the time to get up. Yo! Oh man, get up. And hurry up too, because I'm really hung over and I want to get back to bed. No, I'm talking about where you try to make someone think they're crazy, but they're not. It's called gaslighting.

You know, so you, it's like, well, it is. It's not like it's psychological abuse. All right. But why make it sound so pretty? Gaslighting. That's what they call it, bro. It's from because, you know why they call it that? Because of a movie 100 years ago.

Of course. Actually, it's almost 100 years, 1944, called Gaslight. Wait, so that movie came out in 1944. Yeah. And we're in 2019. So that's almost 100 years. Yeah. Okay.

What are you talking about? It is. It is too. What do you mean it's not? He's still got like another 20-something years. Like I said, it's almost 100 years. Oh, my gosh. You said almost within...

Almost 100 years. Within 35 years. That's almost 100. I can't help what you think. I'm just saying... That's what society thinks. Is it? Yes.

The society is wrong. Okay? I don't have to conform to your little societal ways. Oh, now, now you don't want to conform. I'm just saying in 1944, the movie was called Gaslight, in which the husband slowly makes the wife thinks she's going crazy through all these deceptions. That's pretty cool.

That's a cool movie. Well, it's a movie, so of course it's cool. Yeah, it's a movie. Yeah, no, no, no, it's a movie. Like, you know, you put a little pen here, and then she's like, I'm about to grab the pen. What pen? Pan is not there.

Right, right. What do you talk? There was never ever any pen. And where are you going to write? You don't have a piece of paper in front of you. So according to this, and this is actually the story, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention? Why is the CDC involving this one?

I have no idea. This isn't a movie. They're talking about the real life. Oh, the real life. Okay. Nearly half of all women and men in the U.S. It's already a lie. I know.

That's a lie. Whatever you're going to... They've been subjected to psychological aggression by an intimate partner. Lies. That is lies, Jeremy. I want to know what's considered a psychological aggression. Because we could be seen it as this new world of Me Too. Well, the psychological aggression, like if, like who hasn't happened?

a bully who abogas who abogas hasn't had a using you i'm using in quotation marks girlfriend a person that we've dated a person that we've been with come back to us and say uh you have to continue to see me because i'm pregnant who among us hasn't had that hand who among us that's what i thought everybody i don't see any right everybody's raising their hands nobody raised that considered psychological aggression? Because you know, at least... From her to him, yes.

You know, hypothetically speaking. Hypothetically speaking. You know that she's lying. She's lying, yeah, yeah. All right, so is that, I mean, is that aggression? Is that psychological aggression? No, she's just being a cycle B. Okay, but that's psychological aggression, right? That's trying to convince

you of something that's not real to keep you around. I don't know. I don't like this. I don't like this, because I feel like I've could be found guilty of this. I know. But it just feels like when just nearly half of all women

and men say they've been subjected to this, it doesn't feel like. It's like all these women that come out and say, oh, he raped me. No, he just had a bad date with you. Oh, he sexually assaulted me. No. He just didn't know how to say no.

So there's more extreme gas lighting. Like what? Like what? That could be carefully calculated. to slowly isolate the person and he rode trust in anyone. I see that's a prank. Because if I'm telling my wife,

she's like, hey, I'm about to cook dinner. Let me go get the turkey out. I said, we never had turkey. No, no, seriously, I prepped it. No, honey, there's no turkey. I just moved to turkey to like another room. Make her think that, is, am I gaslighting her? Yes.

Wow, well, that's stupid because it's called pranking. So, you know, like the typical signs of gaslighting, Okay, okay, here we go. According to the hotline, there's a gas. There's a gas. We have to call the gaslighting. Okay. Give me the, give me the, give it.

I want to know what the gaslighting hotline is. Why don't they tell me the hotline? I'll Google the number. We have to, we, I want to call the Google. Oh, wait a minute. Wait, stop, don't. Because it's the National Domestic Violence Hotline. So it's not the gas lighting a hotline.

It's not the specifically the gas lighting. Let me Google first. All right. So according to this, typical signs of gas lighting, according to the hotline. are when the abusive partner. Now, they're trying to say that it can be men and women, but everything in the stories talks about men doing it to women.

So it can be both, and they're saying half of men and women, but the entire story is about men doing it to women. Refuses to listen or pretends not to understand. Guilty. Challenges the partner's memory or accuses them of being wrong. My wife does that to me all the time. Changes the subject or something. suggests the partner is imagining things.

My wife does have to me all the time. Trivializes the feelings of the partner, pretends to forget what happened or denies that anything happened at all. I do that a couple of times. Victims of gaslighting should remember there are always out of these situations. There are ways out of these situations when it's not long-term abuse, options to improve the relationship. Now you can write down incidents that felt manipulative.

You can talk to the person. doing the gaslighting, staying aware of the tactics. You could know the emotional triggers the partner uses. You can assess whether the relationship can be saved if the person stops gaslight. Well, if you're married, you have to save that relationship. You go to a couple's therapy and then you fix that relationship. There's no chance of divorce.

I wish the divorce court that I've gone to would have said that. You already went to divorce court? Oh, what are you talking about? this is I don't recommend divorce you're right though you should try to save your marriage

at all costs divorce is not fun but I want to talk to the gaslighting hotline so this is doctor we can't this article is Dr. Robin,

Robin Stern of course female associate I don't know she identifies as a female, I apologize. Associate Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. Okay. So is there a gaslighting hotline?

No, because it's the, what you say first, is the domestic violence. Right. So they don't have a, so if we do that, I feel like a horrible human being. Yeah, no, because I...

We're not making fun of the domestic violence. No, we are not. We're making fun of this gaslighting thing that they say is happening. If you are in a relationship, when fewer in a relationship where you're being abused, get out. By the way, divorce court TV has 36 seasons and 5,767 episodes. Which one were you on?

So you want to run those numbers by me again? That's a slight factual update on chewing the fat. 36 seasons and divorce court. Divorce court TV. Wow. And 5,767 episodes. With one, two, three, four, five, six, seven different judges. Think of the money that show has made.

I just remember. It's all a blur. Okay, so congratulations to, uh, Victoria Secret. I know we had talked to the first trans model for Victoria's Secrets a couple months ago. We tried. We attempted to talk. It was a difficult conversation.

But it was fun and she was great. Well, now that's not enough for Victoria's secrets. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. That's not enough. We have got to be more inclusive. Oh, I don't know me fat people are going to start being on this. Damn show.

Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. Now they are calling it plus size models. No, I'm going to call fat people. I'm going to call fat people. Wow. That is Chris Cruz. Absolutely is Chris Cruz. My angels should not look like me.

My angels should look like something. We don't want the angels to look like us. That's the point. We want our wives to be like. Victoria's secret. No one's supposed to be that. hot or that skin. When my wife wears the Victoria Secrets underwear.

Uh-huh. Oh, you better finish that thought. You better finish that thought. Are you imagining someone else? Yes. The one that you saw in the runway wearing the same exact underwear. That's completely a lie. That is the truth.

I was just a joke. Okay. That is not true. Usually the truth don't thought just like that's a joke. It's not true. Usually a joke is a reflection of what you actually. Thinking, yes. Yes, it is.

Huh. So how big are we talking? Well, Allie Tate Cutler just is going to be the big first plus size model. See what you did there. She's not bad. Oh, she's not bad? What's her name again? I mean,

Allie Tate Cutler. It's part of the, it's a collaboration with the Blue Bella. a female founded UK-based lingerie company. So Victoria's secret is not making the fat guy underwear. I'm sorry, the plus-size lingerie. I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. I know.

Because I'm thinking... Oh, no. What's wrong with her butt? I haven't seen Ali's butt. Oh, okay, okay. However... This is the gateway drug, is what you're telling me? Yes.

Because now we've... I've seen, I don't know if you have, but I've seen other plus size models that have been shoved down our faces that we're supposed to be in love with. I get it. Look, let me be clear about something. All right. I am a overweight male. Overweight white male. I got it.

No, you're a hefty. The show is chewing the fat. Okay. I got it. I had to shop in the husky side. section as a kid, okay? I got it. No one

has been more ridiculed of this network than me for being overweight. No one. I got it. Okay? However, there is a reason and I always thought, and I

still believe this, although magazines are dead now, but I always thought that a fat guy uh, naked magazine would be a huge sale. Thank you. I should have created that. I should have done that 100 years ago,

and I did, that it's my fault. Hugh and I could have been hanging out together. Who? My hero, Hugh Hefner. Oh, Hugh Hefner. Okay. Oh.

Yeah. I didn't say who. I said Hugh. I could see that relationship being very blossomy. Oh, I'm such a fan. You with the bunnies. Such a fan. Anyway, the,

what would you call this magazine? Huskies? Because you could go, you got two markets in there. I know. You got the dog market. People think they're getting a Husky magazine. And you got the fat people. Oh, you got the brand.

And you got both. You got fat guys with dogs. Ooh, now we're getting, no, stop. Stop. Okay, so congratulations. Anyways, the whole point. I'm looking at her social media. This is a plus size model.

I would not mind seeing as an angel. I understand that. But I'm going to boycott and complain about it. I'm going to boycott. I'm no longer going to shop at Victoria's Secret. Are you? Yes. I'm no longer going to shop there.

All right. But she's not bad looking. I didn't say that she was. Yeah, well, she hikes it pretty well. Well, there's not a lot of people, her and I, that could be athletically overweight. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Maybe I should reach out to her.

She's just a big girl. I'm going to reach out to her because she does a podcast too and she does some blogging. Let's talk to her. Yeah, I would love to talk to her. So have you been fat all your life? Whoa. I don't think that's a good question. What do you mean?

Do we should not be asking her that? What do you mean? She's now the plus size model. I'm sorry. Have you been plus size your whole life? Thank you. Her podcast title is a health and fitness. Okay.

And it's, that's like me having a podcast for health and fitness. The love you give with Ali Tate. I like that title though. Oh, yeah. I like that title. The love you get with Allie Tate. And she talks about trauma from her past. Oh, that's why she eats.

The influencer. That's why she eats because of the trauma. Yeah, probably. B too. The lonely planet. Yeah. Quantum physics. Whoa, she must be smart.

It's just the title. Oh, okay. As long as we're talking about fashion, we might as well congratulate NASA because they finally are going to be able to have the first space walk done by women. Remember, the first time it was, had to knock it off because they couldn't, they didn't have the space suit that would fit right to the one astronaut. She couldn't find a suit that fit. And so they had to pull, blow it off and throw it out the wind. I forget the whole thing. We're just not going to go.

Fine. If you can't find anything to wear, we're just not going to go. And they just stayed home. But now, apparently they found suits to fit. No. For them, maybe they had them shipped up. Maybe Elon shipped up a couple of designer suits. Because on the 21st of October, 2019,

they're going to do the spacewalk together. Christina Koch and Jessica Meyer, the astronauts, the spacewalk together, They're going to be the first females, all-female spacewalk for NASA. Congratulations. Congratulations to NASA for finally. Yeah, congrats. Yeah, finally.

Getting the female spacesuits up there that could, you know, they could both say, oh, I'm fine with this. And you know, I bet they're going to be different. I bet they're going to be different. Now, you see the other spacewalks where the astronauts all look the same? I'm going to put money on that the female space space. suits are different. There's no way. So am I going to see like a boob

kind of thing? Like a boob silhouette? I think one's going to be a different color. One's going to have a pink. One's going to have some kind of flowing boots. Some kind of flowing boots. Something. Okay. If they're both exactly the same, wow.

I mean, I guess just fitting was enough then, wasn't it? Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. All right, so I might as well get some social media mentions out of the way. I saw that a year ago here on Chewing the Fat, we posted a story that the movement is still continuing. That's awesome. By the way. A year later.

Yes. How's the movement going to get a lot of movements that stick and hold true? Me too. Woman's March. Okay, so you have me too, women's march. Yeah, okay. Sure, you mentioned a couple of things that stick. But, I mean, we should not have to suffer for the one.

Absolutely not. We should not have to suffer for the one. And that's our movement continues. For us that we're not listening to you a year ago. What did that movement do? So much? Oh, it did. Was the purpose of it?

What were we not? Because one person should not make all the majority. do things. Duh. We should not have to suffer for the one. It's a narcotic picture. I think you need to recreate it and repost it. Wow.

I thought you were a part of this. I thought you were a part of this movie. No, I am. In spirit. Yeah, it doesn't sound like it. In spirit and in social media. So as soon as you tweet out a new picture, I'll make sure to retweet you so people see it.

And also, my wife is excited. she's going to be a grandmother again. Oh yeah, congratulations. Good for her. Grampa number two. Grand kid number two. For my wife. Yeah, for you too.

For my wife, too. Oh, yes. Jeffrey, we had this conversation. You cannot deny that the first child you called. I could deny. You cannot. She got the heavy foot. I'm saying that it's my son's child.

My wife's grandchild. Your grandchild. She is more of a grandchild to you. then she is to Amber. That's not true, but go ahead. It's not true. Okay. She's more blood to you that she is to Amber.

Well, that's true. If something happens to that little girl, technically that's true. You have a 99 chance that something from your body can help her than Amber. Yeah, that's true. So that kid is more of your grandchild than it is her grandchild. Like I said, it is the child of my son. So now you're going to have two grandkids.

How old do you feel now? My wife is going to have two grandchildren. Maybe we didn't clear that. Let's be clear about that. How old do you feel? I feel fine. My wife is the one that's in trouble. She's got two grandkids.

And Max is about to... Max is about to leave the nest pretty soon. I know. Number three is coming too. I know. And then what? Five more years? The other one leaves?

and now you have four or five. Oof, Jeffie. The skooky parties you do every year are going to get just full of grandkids. I'm not even getting an invitation anymore. It'll be full of grandkids. Believe me, you may not get an invitation anyway, my friend. Oh, that freaking hurts.

I just come to the house. The new one? Just come to the house. Wait, did you get it? Just come to the house. Did you get a new house? Yeah, I told you we did. Yeah, but there people,

Did not know that you did? Oh, yeah, yes. We're finally, I don't even want, okay, at one time, one day soon, I will tell you the full story. The continuation of the tornado story. There's like what, part five? Yeah, I mean, it's, it's been, it's been amazing.

Amazing. Amazingly good? It is you. That's not the word I would be, I'll be looking for. But really, it had, you know, the completion now is that we have, you know, we're moving, we're, we have to move. And we, you know, we're moving and we found a, you know, we found a beautiful place.

Where? Right there. Not far from the location. So it's the same location. So I've moved closer to me or further from me? A little further. Okay. Yeah, it's a little further, I guess.

Same. Same area, general area. You drive around. You should be able to find us. But I did find you like that when the tornado, hey, I forgot what you lived. And I was just driving around. And I was just driving around. I was like, I remember, yeah, I remember, oh, there he is.

It came close with me. Debbie! Kevin! Came really close to that one. Came really close. Somebody around the neighborhood went over there. Yeah, yeah, hey, he's over there. Okay.

Who you're looking for? Jeff! Yeah. You might remember about Jeffrey or Jeffie? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, Jeffy? So, have you talked to the homeowner?

Association lady you told that you're moving down there no I have not oh you have to ask her permission no I do not she's the head of the homeowner association she is she thinks she is I don't know what she is I don't know that she is I don't know that she is she thinks she is they haven't ever provided me with any kind of homeowner association paperwork they haven't ever provided me with any kind of uh link to their website I have a link to a website that's supposed to be their homeowners association website that hasn't been updated in 10 years Oh, because the... But I don't know what that is.

The president of the association does not know that the internet still exists. I certainly know that that person a few doors down believes they have all the rules. Hey. And they know the rules of the homeowners association. I do not. She will send her henchmen. She expects me to believe every word that comes out of her mouth or her henchman's mouth. Which I do not.

She sends her henchman to your house like... Which I do not. You better listen. Uh-huh. Because I noticed that a couple of pictures that your wife has posted. your backyard still not in regulation. No, it is not. I'm just going to put it out there.

No, it is not. I don't want to embarrass you in front of the yard. Okay. But your backyard is not in regulation. Whatever. I'm out. I'm out. And, you know, some people could say the front yard is out of regulation too

because there's a big thing missing the front yard. No, it's growing back. Oh, it is. You know, the guy, my neighbor told me the tree that got knocked down and gone away. My neighbor said that it was knocked down. about three or four years before we moved in from another storm that came through. And it grew back. And he's a fighter.

And I watched this bad boy start growing. It's growing back now. It's a fighter. Yeah. I mean, I just start trimming it now. It'll grow. It's growing back. That's a tough tree.

I will say that if it wasn't for me, that tree would still be sitting in the yard. The blown down tree would still be sitting in the yard if it wasn't. Just like. Just lay there. Just laying there. Waiting for somebody to take care of it. Hmm. And did the henchmen come and take it?

Because that's not my job as the leasy. You're kind of like the homeowner at that point. But kind of like isn't like. Okay. And so when the tree blew and some of it they tried to get it, they were going to turn it and try to drag it into the yard. And I was like, whoa! Now you care about your front yard?

No. We are not moving this. It stays partially in the road. Don't you have any clue to what happens in America? What happens in America? If it's in the yard, fine. It's your responsibility. I got to take care of it.

Well, it still responsibility. It was in the yard. And it was partially in the road. That's when I called the city and said, hey, a big storm, partial tree in the road blocking traffic. I don't know what to do. income the trucks gone

nice that's right and zero fees you paid bye you pay taxes yeah you pay that but you know otherwise it's no income tax state Jeff uh

you're gonna do something with that tree what tree city of uh Fort Worth took care you aren't kidding because I was at that same day I was reading a story that talked about them picking up storm debris and it had a number in the story

and I was like, oh yeah. Oh, I'm calling that number. Yeah, yeah. Wait, hold on, you licked your finger and then you dialed? I went, oh, yeah. But you should when you lick your finger so you're about to turn a page.

No, it's no. You lick finger. Oh, yeah. And then you dial the finger. I don't know how to dial the phone. Anyway. Now we're licking my finger. Maybe in the old days, yes.

Why would that? I don't know, Jeff. Why would it be the old days? I don't know. Because right now we have to be the old days. have touchscreen phones that you don't need to lick your fingers to make it work. Maybe those are like a really most of the touch screens you want dry fingers. Exactly.

So maybe old phones you need to lick it. So like there's some like I don't know. Yeah. The, the, the, uh, the, I wanted to say rotissory, but that's not a rotisserie. Yeah, that's what it is. That's a rotisserie phone. Yeah, it's a rotisserie.

Rotary. Rotary. You, would you, uh, when you use the rotisserie phone, you want your finger to be a little wet and a little damn stuff sticks in that circle. Oh, that's what I thought it was. but I didn't want to embarrass myself. So, well, you did anyway. But I noticed you touched on the great state of Texas.

Yeah. And being no personal income tax. No state income tax. It makes Texas a great state. Now, I love Texas. So do I. However, the no income tax thing. It's good.

All right, I'll give you the no income tax thing. I'll say anytime if there's no income tax, That's good. But what has happened is that now Texas believes that everything has to be charged for. Because isn't everything being charged for with the taxes? If you have state income tax, you don't have been paid. It's not really free. If you're paying, I know, I got it.

But everybody wants their cut of everything because they're not, they don't have state income tax. And they just, you know, they just keep charging more and more and more and more. and apparently they've now realized that they weren't getting any money from Simply Save and we can't

have it forbid how dare you we have a company doing business in the state of Texas and we aren't making any money from it well they are making money from it because in order for you they're already making money

because in order for you to have a working alarm system meaning that someone is monitoring like Simple Safe does 247 and they have connection with 911 that's a physical one. that's a $50 a year permit. Well, some cities are different, but the city of Fort Worth, Texas. Tarran County charges me $50 a year.

A year to be able to call 911. Yes. To be able to call. Now, I can still call I can call 911. Yes, you can. And I can have simply safe hooked up at my house and I can have all the access on my phones and see what's going out of my house and all the damages. But if someone breaks in and I am not there, no one calls.

9-1-1 except for me. For yourself. And then they, oh, you're right as well. Is somebody actually breaking in? I mean, you really, you're going to want, you want someone that could call. Absolutely. And that is a, get the police there. Yes, and that's the only job.

They get paid for, to watch alarm systems go off. And get police there. And obviously, obviously you want the police there as fast as possible to save, you know, your stuff. I got it. So you're going to pay that money. Absolutely. You just are.

Yeah. And Houston is $30. Here is 50 bucks. Of course. But now, the great state of Texas has decided that, hey, wait a minute, we're only getting a piece of the pie from the municipalities.

We've got to do something about that. Yeah, for example, Simpliceave send an email to all these Texas customers. We want to let you know that due to the new tax rules, Simpliceaf will soon be required by the state of Texas to collect tax on your 24-7 professional monitoring. Yay! Depending on your local laws,

you'll see around a one to $2 increase to your bill. A year. One or $2 a year? A month. Oh. Possibly a little more or a little less. This tax will... We don't even know?

We don't even know. So first you start with... That is agonize. This is nothing against Simplice Safe. This is not simply safe. This is a state of Texas. Yes. Governor Abbott. Yes. What do you doing? I mean, I love your Chick-fil-A thing, bro, but what are you doing? This tax will be automatically be applied starting in November. No action is required on your part, except if you want to boycott, you go over there and you knock at the governor's mansion. No action is required because we're going to automatically charge you no matter what. We're just letting you know. We just have you credit card. We just want to get sued by a class action.

That's right. We're just letting you know you're going to be charged. Which is why they put around one or $2 increase, possibly a little more or less. We don't know. We're going to cover all the bases. Good for them. Good for them. And as always, we remain committed to protecting your host. And they do.

Yeah. I mean, this is absolutely not simply. I love that company. But come on, Texas. Really? So what happened? I'm trying to do more research on this because this must have been like a local law that was by the state senators and the civil representatives.

Correct. I don't think this was like a governor Abbott's. Because it talked about your local loss. It doesn't say state laws. So you read about the municipality's trying to get more cut. Yes. You know, they realize,

oh, look at this. Simply Safe is has how many customers? Yeah. Oh, we need to start getting a couple of bucks. Because the money that they were getting from the other alarm companies starting to drop.

Because they're going away. They don't want that. That's correct. Bull crap ADT. And then realize, oh, Simple Safe is doing what? Wait, no, we can't have that. And in the state of Texas,

I expect that in like New York or California, possibly Florida, not in Texas. I bet it doesn't exist in Florida. Yeah. Somebody get Florida on the line right now.
