And now, a Blaze Media podcast.
Good news.
And, you know, with this podcast, chewing the fat, I like to start with good news, if I can find any.
Taco Bell, we told you, was recalling 23 million pounds of seasoned beef, which was very disappointing.
Trust me.
They found, you know, metal shaving.
Some customer found metal shaving.
savings in their food. So Taco Bell under an abundance of caution, of course, I was going to go and
recall it. However, it has been completed. The meat has been replaced at impacted restaurants in 21
states. Go be merry and have a taco. All right, so I started out with the good news. Now we'll go to a little
of the bad news.
A Florida company has now recalled
65,000 pounds of ground beef.
65,000
pounds of beef,
and of course it's for E. coli risk.
Pride of Florida
recalled 65,000 pounds of ground beef,
beef steaks, beef patties
that may have
contamination with E. coli.
Recall was announced
that the sample
that was tested, obviously,
You know, bad, but no illnesses have been confirmed to date.
Man, I wish I wouldn't have had that pride of Florida hamburger last night.
I feel sick now.
I mean, there's a lot.
8515 lean ground beef chubs, 8020 ground beef chubs, chopped beef steaks, chopped pepper steaks,
ground beef patties, 8119 ground beef, 8020 ground beef.
Wow, that's a lot.
However, it's only 65,000 pounds.
Big deal.
You have 65,000 pounds standing on my head.
And this story, I'm going to save this now.
I know that Chris Cruz had to go to,
he's down in Florida, the great state of Florida,
so he's turned into a Florida man.
So I'm sure there's going to be a story coming from.
I know he had some family issues, so whatever.
But this story is out today,
and you have no idea how.
I want to switch to Verizon today.
And we've been on a battle back and forth
because he's Mr.
Oh, I've got the new Disney Plus.
I'm in their founder's circle
or their founder's square
or their Disney lightning bolt
or whatever they're calling it.
Because, you know, he got his little,
I'm one of the founding members.
No, you're a founding subscriber.
You're the first one to give Disney more billions of dollars.
But that's okay.
That's okay.
However, Verizon now is saying, hey, wait, wait, wait.
All new and existing Verizon Wireless, unlimited customers,
new Fios home internet customers,
and new 5G home internet customers are going to get a year free of Disney Plus.
I am now considering becoming a Verizon.
Not really, though.
Not really.
Because I've been a member of Sprint for a long time.
I love Sprint on my wireless.
And I've had their home internet and I've had their home cable.
I don't want to say bad things about them.
Let's just leave it at that.
The other story,
the other story that's driving me crazy today that I don't understand.
I'm not sure.
I completely...
It just doesn't make any sense to me.
All right.
So the big story, Camp broke yesterday about the packaging on sanitary products.
Okay?
Yeah, tampons.
You got it.
I mean, I'm not afraid to say it.
Don't lip the words to me like I'm afraid, you know,
women's product of the month again.
Whoa, no, we're not laughing.
Don't laugh at that.
Do not laugh at that time of the month again.
I mean, she's having her visit.
There's another one too.
Gosh darn it.
What was the other one?
There was a visitor visit.
I got to find out.
Now we're going to have to, please hold.
Please, because I want to know the different names of what women's time of the month is called, the old style.
So please hold.
Your listenership is very important to us here at chewing the fat.
hold someone will be with you momentarily please hold your listenership is very important to us someone will be
with you momentarily thank you for holding jeff fisher here how can i help you yeah i was waiting to find out
what they used to call women's uh time of the month oh that's perfect we've got the answer for you
right here do you have your access code uh yeah it's called chewing the fat i'm a subscriber
okay it's right here for you uh i've got to take my unpaid leave
It's shark week.
Okay.
I'm on a ketchup diet.
Not good.
It is flooding down south.
It's flooding down south.
Ouch.
Right?
Oh, yeah, no, that's not funny.
You know, I'm feeling a little bloated.
All right.
We've got some more.
Shark wig is catching down south.
The full stop is haunted.
me. I am down with
the girl flu.
Oh, the leak
week.
Time to
hail the red moon.
My painting
time has come.
Aunt Flo. I remember Ant Flo.
Ant Flo. I've heard Ann Flo. Going to be
the battle time. Tomato
soup is boiling. Oh, my gosh.
I must hail my
hormones. I've killed.
kill the lamb, take the red honey, the river is flooded, I'm off of my multiplication,
is totem, the murderer is out, I'm cutting the cake, the pipes have burst, today is my birthday.
Now those aren't good. Those are just boring. All right, so back to the story.
A little sidetrack, sorry, a little sidetrack on the old, on the old, it's that time.
Do you think you could pick me up? I never understood the being embarrassed of purchasing tampons either.
I never understood that.
I get that some guys, you know, are, they're too macho.
Can't buy the girlfriend's tampons.
But so what?
You know what kind the wife uses?
There you go.
You go purchase them and you're done.
So, uh, the story is that, uh, now they're going to take the female symbol from the packaging
because not everyone who has a period identifies as a female.
Right.
The Venus sign denotes the biological sex of a female.
Procter & Gamble announced it would be removing the symbol from packaging in order to be more inclusive to its customers.
The company insisted that the symbol was not inclusive enough towards transgender females or,
biological males.
Stop.
Stop it.
I want to be angry at this because you think,
come on now.
I mean,
why it shouldn't matter for the small percentage.
I mean, one activist
caused this.
One activist
caused this.
There are non-binary and trans folks who still
need to use your products, too, you know.
You know.
We listened to you and our marketing team worked a solution.
A portion of the letter read,
we are glad to inform you that as of December,
we'll use a new wrapper design without the feminine symbol.
Now, you know, obviously the small percentage of the transgender community all were,
yay, oh, Roger Gamble, you're so great, thank you.
But there were, you know, other people a little wound up.
that they're not, well, you're taking the female symbol away?
Are you kidding me?
Does this mean they're getting rid of the women's health section at the grocery store?
Thank you.
You're going to have to.
Yeah, they're going to have to.
It's just going to be, you know, health.
Health section.
Now, but it goes on, it's really strange how at the end of the letter,
it says, for practical gamble,
to ensure that anyone who needs to use a period product feels comfortable.
in doing so with always.
We updated our pad wrapper design.
Our mission remains to ensure
no girl.
Wait, what?
No girl loses confidence at puberty
because of her gender or period.
Wait, but what you're saying now
is that you don't have to be a girl.
I mean, I don't get the contradiction.
I really don't.
Now, let's set that aside for just a second.
Let's set it over here for just a second.
Okay, let's be mad about that.
Does it really matter?
I mean, really?
Does it really matter?
Do you know, when you buy, when you buy, let's say,
I'm reminded of a lady, when I worked,
I don't know if you know this or not,
but I worked at, you know, the grocery store for a number of years.
And I remember working on the floor.
And I remember we used to sell the, you know,
the big cans of Crisco.
Crisco, you know,
cooking fat,
and it comes into cans,
and Crisco puts different pictures
of different items
that you can cook
with Crisco on the covers,
on the packaging of the can.
And I remember a lady
specifically asking me for the Crisco,
do you have the Criscoe that cooks chicken?
And I was like, well, yeah,
there, Crisco's right here.
It's Crisco.
No, but the picture on the can ain't chicken.
I know, but it doesn't matter.
It's still Crisco.
It doesn't matter what picture is on the package.
It's still the product.
I want the chicken picture.
Right.
I mean, you know, under the belief that, you know, that's,
I can't fry my chicken and Crisco that isn't the Crisco that doesn't have the chicken on the can.
So does it really matter that the Venus symbol isn't on the pads anymore?
It matters to the point of like one, you know, the activists are making a big change in causing this one, you know, a small percentage is causing a multi-billion dollar company to make a change that really doesn't need to be changed.
And they're the type of company that's able to say, no, we're not going to do that.
The one person on Twitter can complain to their hearts content.
We're not going to change.
Okay?
This is our product.
You don't get to decide.
They didn't do that.
Kind of sad.
Kind of sad.
Many people in today's world believe that mental illness is something just to joke about.
Ha, ha, ha.
There's a problem.
No.
Mental illness is something that I think is too often misdiagnosed.
If you have objectophilia, that's not a mental illness, silly.
Wow.
Are you dumb?
Are you dumb?
Okay.
It's just someone who is in love with an object.
Got it?
Like Michelle from Berlin, Germany, who is now 30,
she claims that she's in a relationship with a Boeing 737-800.
she calls it darling uh she loves him so much she even had a model made to take to bed she has a
part of a seven she has a part of the seven 37800 in her apartment she has different parts
throughout her apartment and she talks about getting to meet one in a hangar just her and the
plane at only once in her life and there's pictures of her kissing it and hugging it and
then there's pictures of her inside the 737-800 and you know she was her heart melted her heart melted inside this plane
she knows she knows that this particular relationship is a struggle it's a struggle
uh the relationship just isn't easy and at times it's difficult
I only get to get close to him when I fly.
I get to be with them in a hangar, but that's only happened once.
I want to marry my sweetheart and live with him in a hangar.
It's just a special kind of love.
It doesn't hurt anybody.
It's hard on the plane, too.
I've had big models of him made of fiberglass as well as really,
components from him so I can act out my love at some degree.
Michelle's affection for the aeroplane, it's not only sexual, romantic,
is focused and important to her.
Yes, she may be the only one on the planet to be in love with a 737-800.
But I won't hear of a being called mental illness.
No.
No, sir.
This is objectophilia
at its finest.
Right here.
Played out.
Okay?
The 737-800.
Wait, where's my music?
I need some love music.
Just a little bit.
Okay.
The 737-800 is
very attractive,
sexy to Michelle.
He's the most beautifully built
very attractive and elegant aircraft.
I've even nicknamed my 737-800 Shats.
Yes, she's not from this country of America.
She's from Berlin.
Because translated in America, Shats would mean...
That's exactly what your objectophilia is, okay?
Is Shats.
I guarantee you that.
But in Berlin, it means...
Darling, I love you too, Michelle, says the 737-800
in ways that could only be heard by her.
All right, we've got to start on our campaign for cockroach milk.
If you listen to the podcast yesterday,
we talked about the Pacific Beetle cockroach milk,
how it's good for you.
It's going to start, you know, they're going to start ramming
it down our throats, so to speak.
And I figured that we might as well, it's got, you know, look, you're not going to make
the sale if it's cockroach milk.
You're just not.
It was specifically in the U.S.
I mean, maybe some other countries will say, oh, it's cockroach milk.
Great.
Let's drink it.
Let's drink it.
But no.
In the U.S.
It's going to have to be something else for this ad campaign.
I'll give you that it's good for you.
It may taste good.
It's got all the proteins and sugars and everything you need.
you know, so much better for you than cow's milk or any other milk,
goats, milk, whatever the heck milk you drink,
cockroach milk is the best.
But we've got to create a campaign that says how good it is and not that it's
cockroach milk, right?
So I had people, I asked you to email chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
So you can continue to do that.
and we'll try to get the full campaign out for you.
I did get a few responses.
A couple of the top ones.
Crem de la Roche
from Anthony.
Fine Pacific Beetle Roach milk.
Now, see again, that's going to have to be in fine print.
I don't know if we didn't want that in the ad.
I do like crem de la Roche.
Crem de la Roche.
Fine print.
Fine print.
Pacific beetle roach milk.
Or we could go with just beetle juice.
Those are three times.
I know.
I got the joke.
Shut up.
That sounds worse.
And one from,
one person emailed us at chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
So you want to market roach milk.
I couldn't immediately think of anything to market,
just milk itself.
However, I did conceive of a coffee roach milk beverage.
If you look up the term Blatella, you'll find it means a genus of cosmopolitan and wild cockroaches.
The singular Latin root of the word is blata.
If we separate the B from the rest of the word, you're left with Lata.
Next, change the A to the end, to an E, and you now have latte.
Place to B at the beginning and you have Blate.
Only the finest ingredients go into our coffees.
Just don't ask what they are.
Nine out of ten roaches agree.
You won't taste a difference.
It's so good your pest will thank you for trying it.
it's neither affordable nor sustainable,
but the UN says the third world will love it.
So should you?
Thank you. I like it.
It's cute. I'm glad you're working on it.
It's a beginning.
We're under the idea tree.
There's nothing.
There's no bad ideas,
except for, you know, some.
But there's no bad ideas under the idea tree,
except for yours.
And I don't want to hear from you.
But you over there I want to hear from
at chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
And I don't know how long the show is going to continue.
I just found out that I'm going to become a multimillionaire.
I found out from Rupinarian Kamal,
one of the directors of Standard Bank of South Africa,
has let me know that I'm going to receive this message with surprise.
And I did.
I received it with surprise.
But it's the urgent need for you to stand as benefit.
to unclaimed legitimate fund from his bank.
Okay.
In the email, it says a deposit account was opened by a customer, Wolfgang Frederick,
of Dooch nationality.
I guess that's Dutch, right?
Doesn't say Dutch?
Who is a consultant contractor with the Federal Ministry of Mines and Power in South Africa?
he made a number of deposit with the bank over a period of time,
which has been rolled over many times yearly to a cumulative value
of $22,583,112,
while expecting Wolfgang Frederick to come forward to claim his fund,
which he never did.
As a bank series of notification has been sent to his forwarding address,
but no reply, I secretly contacted his manager
that had worked in his consulting office,
only to discover that Wolfgang Frederick
was involved in the Libya plane crash of 12 May 2010.
You may have read or heard about the plane crash,
and he gives a link to the plane crash.
As a standing financial rules and regulation of South African government,
if no claim is made on deposit at the end of the stipulated period,
the fund will be tagged on claimed funds and will be forfeited to the government.
So I want to present you as the next of kin to the,
fund and I will guide you to ensure the fund is processed legitimately in your name and transferred
to your bank account for our mutual benefit.
Hello.
Yes.
I have emailed a Rupinarian back and let him know that I'm in.
I am the next of kin of Wolfgang Fedrick of Deuch nationality.
And I want a big chunk of the 22,000, 583,000.
$112. So as soon as that comes in, I'm out.
Have a nice day.
You can catch me on my stories on Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio.
And I'll tweet some every now and then on Jeffie JFR on Twitter,
just to let you know, hey, I'm out here.
I'm out spending Wolfgang Fedrix $22 million.
Because when I got this email,
It did, I did receive it with surprise.
I did receive it with surprise.
Now, I have that,
and I'm waiting to hear back from Rupinarian.
And I see this story that's now,
well, it's a fraud.
It's a scam.
A Nigerian astronaut lost in space scam.
I can't believe people would fall for this.
That's so stupid.
People are so stupid.
In October 2019, it came across a deadly bizarre version of the scam.
Nigerian astronaut Abacha Tundi was reportedly stuck in space, and his cousin, Dr. Bakari Tundi, was asking you, the reader, for $3 million to get him home.
Ha!
People are so stupid.
they believe in this stuff like some Nigerian astronaut lost in space
what an idiot people are dumb
did I mention my next of Ken Wolfgang Fedrick
yeah he was in a plane crash
and Liberia
Libya not Liberia Libya plane crash
I'll kind of get that story right Jesus if I say the wrong
I'd say the wrong word, holy cow.
Is that the 737 that woman's in love with?
No, it is not.
Ooh, I don't know if that was a 737.
Maybe I should click on the link.
Look up Flight 771.
The Libya plant crash.
Let's see what kind of plane it was.
Ooh, because if it was, that's a scary thought.
No, it's a 771.
No, that's Flight 771.
What was the plane?
That's what I'm saying.
I saw the 771.
That's the flight it was.
But it doesn't say here without clicking on the link what type of plane it was.
And it'll tell you in the story.
I'm not going to put you on hold to find out because Taylor's going to find out quickly.
Just punch it in.
It's going to be right there in the story.
It's an Airbus 3-A-330-200.
See, it's not the same.
That's why she only loves the other one.
Darn it.
I love this one.
Yeah, I know.
All right.
So Lonely Planets has post-eastern,
posted their top 10 cities to visit in 2020.
Now, they have their list,
and it's a pretty amazing list of the top 10 cities to visit in 2020.
Now, off the top of your head,
I'm asking off the top of your head.
the top 10
what's the first city
that you think to yourself that's got to be in the top 10
Denver right
Denver Colorado
I do it I do it and you're lucky because that is
number 10 on the list I know
I know weird weird
let's say
also let's say another
so you guessed Denver I didn't
I didn't think you would but you did
congratulations
Let's think of another United States city because they're not all in the U.S.
Now, don't forget, the only planet is global.
So amazingly, the United States has two cities in the top ten.
So I gave you a little hint there, okay, because I didn't give you the hint for Denver,
and I'm giving you the hint for city number two.
So off the top of your head, and it's not number one.
Don't kid yourself.
Or the United States isn't getting a number one city.
So another top city that you think to yourself,
what city of the U.S.
would be in the top 10
of Lonely's Planet cities to visit
in 2020?
And you say
Washington, D.C. Yes.
Oh my gosh, I can't believe you guessed it.
Correct.
Amazing.
Yeah.
Washington City.
Number two.
Number two on Lonely Planet's best.
What?
Okay.
All right.
All right.
So number nine is Dubai
in the UAE.
I get that.
Uh, number eight.
Vancouver, Canada.
Vancouver Canada.
I know.
Number seven.
Cochy India.
I know.
Number six.
La Paz Bolivia.
I mean, I'm a fan of going to Bolivia.
You know what they grow in Bolivia, don't you?
Bolivian flake.
Anyway, number five.
Bon Germany.
Bonn, Germany coming in at number five.
Who doesn't want to go to Bonn?
I mean, it's gorgeous.
This time of year?
Oh.
Number four in the top ten cities to visit in 2020.
Galway, Ireland.
Yeah, I rolls right off the top of your head you think of.
Yeah, Galway Island, I got to go there.
Got to go there.
Number three on the list.
Number three are the top ten list of cities to visit in 2020,
thanks to Lonely Planet.
You said it.
Cairo, Egypt.
Yep, it's right.
there, Cairo, Egypt.
Now, Cairo probably is gorgeous, and I don't know that I want to go to Egypt, but, you know,
they just uncovered a bunch more, a bunch more tombs and all kinds of stuff.
So that's probably just outside of Cairo.
It's Cairo, then there's a desert.
So it's just outside of Cairo.
But, you know, it would be fine.
I really don't have a problem with Cairo.
If Cairo would be fun to go to.
I don't know that I'd feel that safe, but it would be a good place to go to.
Number two, of course, I told just Washington, D.C., which you already knew, duh.
And the number one city, number one, a lonely planet's list of cities to visit in 2020.
No, silly.
It's not Perrump, Nevada.
It's Salzburg, Austria.
That should be Perump to that.
Salisburg, Austria, number one city to visit, according to a lonely planet for 2020.
Wow.
Wow.
So we talked about the one protester that affected Procter and Gamble
and their woman's symbol on their tampons
and their pad products are going away.
This is how things get started.
Now, Chick-fil-Az obviously has more than one protester,
but they also have millions of people who are not protesting Chick-fil-A.
Millions of people who are going there to purchase their product
because I don't know, it's good.
Well, the first Chick-fil-A in the United Kingdom
is closing up on Sunday.
Amazing.
And not only are they closing up on Sunday,
because they're always closed on Sunday, duh,
that's part of their business plan.
They're going to be closed every other day of the week, too,
because a mall in Reading England
has decided not to renew its lease with the restaurant chain.
Now, you think to yourself,
why would they do that?
Because of criticism of the owner's history of opposing gay marriage.
Are you kidding me?
Stop it.
Stop it.
He doesn't, he was questioned.
I don't even know how many years ago now.
I could go back and find the exact dates, you know, the exact dates.
But my remembrance of the story is that he was questioned about closing the store on Sunday.
He's a question about his history, questioning about his beliefs.
And he was talking about as a Christian.
He doesn't believe in gay marriage.
But he obviously doesn't care about it's okay.
If you come into the store and say, hey,
I identify as he, she, she, she, she, she, she, he.
And they're going to say, what would you like to order?
It's just so incredibly stupid.
It's just incredibly stupid.
He said he believed in the biblical definition of the family unit.
What?
It is unbelievable to me.
Unbelievable.
That believing in the biblical definition of the family unit gets people all well.
up because he doesn't say, I'm not going to serve you.
He doesn't say, you're all going to burn in hell.
He said he believes in the biblical definition.
He gets to do that.
But apparently they're not going to be welcome in the United Kingdom.
You know what?
Your loss.
We'll still have them here in the U.S.
Don't you worry your little eyes about it.
It's okay.
We'll still get our chicken sandwiches and our large chocolate shakes, whatever we want.
Just going through the drive-thru.
And they've up their game on the drive-thru too.
There's no longer the one single drive-thru anymore at most of the stores.
If you're going to a Chick-fil-A that has like one line in the drive-thru, that's old school, man.
It has not been remodeled yet.
Because now they're all being remodeled with the double drive-thru and covered.
I mean, it's world-class, man.
You are in and out.
Love it.
love it.
And as I'm looking through,
you know, I know this may come as a big surprise to you,
but as I'm looking through some other food stories,
I saw one story that kind of ticks me off
and breaks to the point of,
it's just, it really is what happens in America
and, you know, around the world in today's world.
So McDonald's is taking a hit saying that, oh my gosh,
the shares of McDonald's have dipped as much as 4% this week
and the fast food change reported third quarter sales
and profit is down and no well here's the deal profit isn't down
profit fell below the estimates
okay they were uh forecasted
to make 1.69 billion
dollars.
Okay.
The last quarter.
Third quarter,
$1.69 billion.
They were forecasted.
They only,
the actual number was
$1.61 billion.
Oh, the horror.
The horror.
Somebody thought that they were going to make
1.69.
then they only made $1.6 billion.
How are they getting by?
I don't know.
I don't know.
More in my food queries today
as I was scanning the food globe.
I see a headline that says
how to skin and prepare a rattlesnake for the table.
And I thought,
no thanks.
Now, maybe if you cook up a little rattlesnake
with some Heinz ketchup,
maybe you could douse it enough to eat it.
I've honestly, I don't think I've ever had rattlesnake.
I mean, I've had a lot of different kind of strange meats.
You can quote me on that.
But I don't think I've ever had rattlesnake,
which is kind of disappointing because I would like to be able to say that I have.
But then as you read the story, it's kind of funny because it talks about
it's best to leave them alone.
But if you do get a fresh rattlesnake,
you might as well eat it.
And it goes on to tell you how to,
how to cook it and what you have to do for it.
If you want the recipe,
just email me at Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com
and I'll be happy to send it to you.
Apparently, Rattlesnake,
it's got a backstrap-like muscle
that runs the entire length of the backbone,
so once cooked that muscle will peel out easily
and give you the boneless goodness.
So, okay,
no problem.
I could be a fan.
I could be a fan.
According to this story,
it is white meat, tender,
tastes like a cross between frog legs and turtle.
A lot of rib bones and the backstrap that runs the entire back.
But pull that backstrap off, so you're pulling those,
I guess it's almost like a fish.
You pull that backstrap off and you're pulling out those rib bones.
as well.
So that just gives you the, you know, that boneless taste.
So I guess you probably will have to, you know, keep a, keep a tooth out for one of those
rib bones that got stuck in there.
But other than that, it sounds like it might be good.
It might be good.
One last of food story for you, the hunt for food stories today.
And I think I might do this as a, as a, maybe a Facebook Live or an Instagram story.
there's a Texas chef who is posting stories on her YouTube channel
and her Patreon site, Naked Cooking online.
Now most of the YouTube channel, she is just in an apron and nothing else.
I may have to pull off a Jeffey cooking series just in an apron.
I will say,
that I may not be able to pull off the apron look as well as her,
but I'm going to try, doggone it.
And I'm still worthy, doggone it,
and I'm good enough to be a naked chef in just an apron, doggone it.

but i was reading a story where now another couple hundred thousand people are going to lose power
in California, thanks to the PG&E
worry for
winds and
dryness and fires
could start. We're
just got all these problems out there.
But I just read a story
and I have to find it. I don't have it in front of me
now. Just seeing this headline remind me.
I just read and I heard a story
that talked about
why PG&E is
actually turning the power off.
And it has absolutely
nothing to do
with your safety, Californians.
And I know this is going to come as a weird thing.
And maybe you already know it.
You Californians that are listening to the podcast,
I know you're out there.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
I see you.
I see you out there on the West Coast.
I got you.
I love you.
I do.
I'm a fan.
I love California.
One of my favorite places to go in California is up at Big Bear Lake.
I mean, so beautiful.
You come down and you come down off of the
that and you hang on in Santa Monica. I'm a fan. I love California. I'm not downplaying
Northern California or Southern California. The whole state is beautiful. I got it. Just, you know,
my special area. But I'm just telling you, the article and the interview that I heard talked about
how PG&E is doing this because they want more money. They want to charge you more money.
They want more money from the state so that they could rebuild their infrastructure.
and because it should be them that have already upgraded their infrastructure with the money that they've already made,
the reason that there was a fire and some fall through on some of that was because they didn't upgrade their infrastructure before.
And so they were just cutting back and making more money in their pockets than what they actually should have been when they're upgraded.
But now they want more money to upgrade and to take care of issues that should have already been taken place.
but since they haven't and they want more money now,
they're just cutting the power off
to prove who has the power.
Get it?
They're cutting the power off to prove who has the power.
And it's working, right?
It worked before.
According to the interviews that I heard,
remember the last time this happened was when
I think it was Gray Davis was the governor,
and they booted him out.
That's when Schwarzenegger took over.
They got rid of him and they got more money.
amazing how that worked
huh amazing
so maybe
California's already know this story
and I'm you know
telling you something you already know
but for the rest of you listening
around the country and around the world
know that
that's it has of course
I mean PG&E Pacific
Gas and Electric
of course
is doing what they can
to make more money
and
it is
all about your safety.
Huh. Weird.
So remember we talked about the American Dream malls opening up, you know, several places around
the country, and the big one was going to be in East Rutherford, New Jersey,
next to the, you know, the football stadium, the big stadium there.
And we were excited about what they were going to do, and it was going to be this huge theme
theme parked mall.
Well, it's going to open up this weekend.
Yay!
Yay!
Except tickets are already sold out.
So, now you can't go.
What a bummer.
Visitors are going to find more than 35 rides and attractions
across the eight and a half acre park.
Roller coasters.
One of the steepest drop roller coasters with a hundred and twenty-two-foot drop.
The shredder, Nickelodeon slime.
streak. It's Sandy's blasting
Bronco. You're going to
see characters, SpongeBob, Dora,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I mean, it's going to be
great, right? I mean, you're going to
want to go there. It's going to, it's a theme park inside
them all. Hello, you're going to want to go there.
Now, all the rides and all the
fun, all the fun
isn't
quite ready, but they're going to
open up anyway, because they've got a lot of
stuff open and it's like, we've got to start
making some money. Open
the doors. We don't
care that we're behind the eight ball
on these other stuff. Just open the doors.
So they're opening up. And they sold out.
I mean, the doors are already closed.
It's amazing. Parking is going to be
complimentary this weekend. So I mean, I guess you could just show
up and park for free and try to get in.
Good luck.
But normally they're going to only charge 30 bucks.
Oh, for 30 minutes.
Stop it.
$24 a day to park.
Wow. That's not even to get in the
damn theme park
all access tickets
for admission to all rides
are priced at
4999
wow
that's a pretty good
that's a pretty good price oh wait
is that everything
nope sorry
don't permit access to some of the bigger rides
oh no
they're priced at
3999
okay so you can get the 40 you get the 40
$40 one
for
for
and not get the bigger ride
so you can get in for 40
and some of the bigger rides are like that
so your your wristband does not let you ride this ride
take a hike kid
so
currently all tickets are opening day
are gone so that's not bad
that's not bad 40 bucks
general access tickets gets you everything
uh 40 bucks
gets you
into the park but not the big rides.
Children under two are free.
I mean, and it's going to cost you $24 a month a day to park.
Have fun.
Enjoy yourself.
Seriously, enjoy yourselves.
Have fun.
Now, that being said, you know, you're not going to be able to get in this weekend.
So good luck, God bless.
Now, maybe.
Maybe if you show up, you pay to park, you hang out, your tailgate.
Somebody doesn't show up, they have an extra time.
ticket they let you in. So you still might be able to get in, right? All right. So now I have a,
I have, I'm going to leave you with this. I've had this for a couple of days and I keep forgetting
to tell you about it because I love this idea so much. It's one of my, it's now one of my new
favorite ideas of all time. This was on one of my Facebook feeds. And, you know, we've all
flown. We've flown everywhere. I mean, flying as part of our lives, a staple of our lives now.
And we've, we've had people hollering, people fighting, babies crying on a plane. So now we're all
going to have to start traveling with another device just to prove our point. And this is the
Facebook post. Baby crying on plane. Guy besides me. Can there be. Can there
be anything worse than a baby crying on a plane?
Me pulling out a kazoo.
Let's find out.
I now have to travel with a kazoo at all times.
