You're listening to Chewing the Fat on demand.
Welcome to Chewing the Fat.
It's yours truly.
Jeff Fisher, Monday edition.
Hope everybody had a beautiful weekend.
I came across this video this weekend, you know, in my social media timeline.
And don't look at me like that.
Just because I know you sent it to me, Chris Cruz, but I saw it.
It was in my Twitter feed after you said it to me.
And the caption is, I know white people will see this.
and get upset.
LMA, oh, oh, oh, I'm in tears from C on Twitter.
And I looked out and I look at the video and it's from the Times opinion piece.
So I guess it's the New York Times online opinion piece and it's a video.
And it, well, of course I see, I know white people will see this and get upset.
I'm watching.
All right.
Not that I want to be upset.
I just want to see what's so funny.
Right?
I want to be in tears as well.
Here's the beginning portion of the Times opinion piece.
Not for a charcoal grill.
No charcoal grills are allowed.
You're scared.
Please leave me alone.
You're white.
African-American.
Illegally selling water without a permit.
But with cell phone cameras and social media,
calling 911 on your black or brown neighbors just isn't what a guy.
used to be. Oh, my. Hi, I'm Necy Nash, actress, inventor, and advocate for not calling 911
on black people for no goddamn reason. I'd like to introduce you to a radical new product that
will save you all the headaches of being filmed and outed as a racist douche. It's called 1844
white fear, and it's revolutionizing the way racist white people cope with black people. All right, that's enough.
That's like the first minute or something.
of the video goes on for two and a half minutes
and you get the gist and it's really funny
and it really makes
racist white people look bad
and by the way
you should look bad
but I was immediately struck with
wait is this real
or is it
fake
so I think that
we today on chewing the fat
should dial live
1844
W-Y-T-F-E-A-R-18-4-4-8-4-White-F-E-E-R.
And see what happens.
All right, let's go.
8-4-4- White Fear is going to be, why'd you call here, White Dush?
Thank you for calling 1844 White Fear.
We are here to address your urgent concerns about black or brown people living their life near you.

That's okay.
That's too.
I can speak Spanish.
That's it though?
Okay, so that's one.
But let the reality that black Americans are twice as likely to be arrested as whites
and almost three times as likely to experience force during encounters with the police.
Place your fears in a larger context and let this light jazz wash over you.

If they're taking a nap in the rec room at your college, press four.
If they're engaging in a family barbecue, press five.

If you're near a person of color doing anything strange like shopping, golfing, mowing the lawn, eating at a waffle house, doing their job as a firefighter, renting an Airbnb, moving into their new apartment, opening their front door, or existing in a way that just doesn't feel right to you.

So, push 3.
Based on your menu selection, we have determined that you are not injured and probably just racist.

Or if you're feeling particularly bold, you may introduce yourself and try being a person.
Whoa.
Thank you for calling 1844 White Fear.
While this New York Times opinion hotline is a satire, the issue is very real.

and probably just racist.
In order to deal with this situation, you should put away your phone and move on with your
Spanish.
Dose.
We understand that you're feeling scared, but let the reality that black Americans are
twice as likely to be arrested as whites and almost three times as likely to experience force
during encounters with the belief.
Place your fears in a larger context and let this light jazz wash over you.
If you're near a black or brown person waiting for a friend of a coffee shop, press three.
If they're taking a nap in the rec room at your college, press four.
If they're engaging in a family barbecue, I'm a little ticked at the New York Times opinion.
This should be in Spanish.
If you're near a person of color doing anything strange like shopping, go.
All right, we need to call back again and start with two.
and not go to one first to see if it's all in Spanish.
Because if it's not all in Spanish, I'm complaining.
If I'm Spanish and I push two dose and then I get just English speaking, I'm triggered.
Right?
All right.
So we've dialed 1844 white fear.
Thank you for calling 1844 white fear.
Yeah, I know.
You're welcome.
That's what we call.
It's already called twice.
right, we're going through.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Please listen to the following options before making your selection.
Okay, we know.
Yeah, yeah.

Press 1.
Oh, yeah, what do I know?
If hearing Spanish is triggering for you, please protect your ears now.
Okay, so there you go.
This guy sounds good, too.
This is why my mother-in-law watches.
We understand that you're feeling scared.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
Americans are twice as likely to be arrested as whites.
All right, that's enough.
All right, thank you.
The Spanish guy, Chris Cruz, as my interpreter, my UN interpreter.
Did the Spanish guy say that they're going to end up speaking in English when what he was saying?
Because this may come as a shock to you.
While I understood, you know, two as a dose, I can count to ten as a ten as.
Spanish. The, uh, most of the Spanish language, I'm not fluent in. Did he say what you're
going to hear as in English? No, he didn't say that. And what did, what did, what did he tell us was going
to happen? Was it just the same thing as one? Yeah. Just in a lot sexier Spanish voice. He said just
green goes, which is kind of like the W word from us to guys. Right. Right. Okay. From us. Oh yeah.
Now you're, now you're them. Oh yes. Yeah. Now you're, now you're. Yeah. Now you're. Now you're,
them. You ever hear the, you ever hear the, remember the old Lone Ranger and Tonto joke?
The Lone Ranger and Tonto are surrounded by Indians and the Lone Ranger says, what are we going to do,
Tonto? And Tonto says, what do you mean, we, white man? You can laugh later with the kids on that one.
Yeah, that one's on me. That's on me. Joke of the day. But remember, if you really do know someone
that has an issue with racism, hey, for real, you shouldn't be hanging out with them. They're not good enough for you at all.
period. B. 1844, white fear.
You know, I had a lot of people ask me this weekend as I was out and about, we were talking about,
I mean, thousands, thousands, maybe even close to millions were coming up to me over the weekend
saying, hey, we really love your podcast, but, you know, you don't talk politics or anything.
We can. We can. We can. We can talk politics if you'd like. I mean, we could spend,
we could spend the day on the news that broke this weekend that on Friday when Obama came out
and talked about how he wants to, you know,
he can't believe how everybody lies now.
Okay, is that right?
Former President Barack Hussein liar Obama.
Is that right?
Is that the same man who stretched the truth?
We can talk about Hillary saying she's going to leave the door open,
you know, with her interview.
She doesn't want to make any decisions, though.
She's going to wait until the midterm elections.
I wonder why that is.
I wonder why she would wait until the midterm elections to a next.
It couldn't be that if the Democrats take a beating, she just walks away and says, oh, civilization is over as we know it.
I'm going to go back to my gated house and be left alone.
Couldn't be that, could it?
But I would rather not talk about that.
I don't want to, you know, look, I don't want to talk about, everybody talks about that.
Everybody talks about Megan Kelly getting the boot now the Today Show.
is, you know, trying to make it right.
And everybody just loves, what's her name?
Hoda.
No, not from Game of Thrones.
But the chick, the chick, you know, the 50-year-old lady from the Today Show, Hoda.
Agonizing.
Isn't that her name?
Isn't that her name?
No, her name, the co-host of Today Show, Hoda.
Yeah, that's her name, Hoda.
Not the Game of Thrones guy.
But they just, you know, they ran Megan off.
They never liked her.
She came in, they paid her way too much money, more money than they made.
And she was supposed to be their savior, and they all were in love with it.
And then they realized, oh, wait, we're supposed to hate her.
So they found a way to run her off.
I got it.
It's okay.
And she got ran off for something that was silly and stupid, and the whole world knows it.
And yet what's left?
Nothing.
Megan doesn't have a gig.
She's going to walk away with, what, 50 million and be sad.
And she'll have to spend some time, extra time with her kids that she claims she wants to spend time with.
She's going to have to spend extra time with her husband that she claims she wants to spend time with.
And she's going to want us to believe that she's really, really sad because she doesn't have a job.
Okay, I believe you.
How's that 50 million doing for you?
Okay?
You're going to be all right.
You're going to be able to live.
You're going to be able to still live the lifestyle you've become accustomed to.
You're not going to have to downsize, are you?
You're not going to have to get rid of the weekend nanny so you and hubby can go out, are you?
Don't talk to me about that.
Oh, my gosh.
You're not going to, are you going to have to, no, you are not going to have to cut back to
cleaning people to every other day?
No, I won't have that.
You're not, you're going to have to.
to take the kids to school?
What?
I won't have that.
That's not the life you've become accustomed to.
I mean, I get it.
But do we want to talk about that?
When I can talk about the greatness of HBO
and how they've created a job that I think I want?
And they actually have started something
that you know every single network
is going to have these now from,
Now until the end of time.
They've created work.
So good for them.
They've created another job that now is going to create work for a lot of people in broadcast,
moviedom.
They're all going to have to have it.
And what is it, you ask?
An intimacy coordinator.
An intimacy coordinator.
That, my friends, is a job I want.
Yeah, no, that scene went too far.
Sorry, you're going to have to do it again.
Can't film that anymore.
Now, look, do we need one in today's world?
Maybe.
Maybe looking at it seriously.
I think we need one in today's world to avoid lawsuits is about what it's for.
You know, the story goes on to talk about so many sex scenes on its shows.
The cable channel has hired one more staff member to keep it under control.
And now they're pushing the other networks and other.
other movie dim people to create this job as well.
And they want to treat it like a stunt coordinator
where someone oversees it all.
And look, all it is is to avoid the lawsuits from the Me Too movement.
They've come down with that.
You know, they want to make you feel like
when it comes to sexuality,
which is one of the most vulnerable,
things for all humans, men and women, there's really no system. There's never been a person
required to be there to protect and bring expertise. No, that person was supposed to be you.
How many times in this Me Too movement have we actually heard from actors and actresses
saying that was too far? And very few, very few times, because we've heard them say,
I thought it was too far, but I didn't want to say anything because I didn't
want to lose the job. That's not my fault. That's your fault. It's your decision. Hey, we're going to
have a naked scene now. You know, the scene you agreed to in the contract when you said you'd do the
movie. This is what we plan to do. I think that's too far. Okay, well, what would you like?
I'm sure. Maybe 90% of the time, that's what the conversation that you do.
have. Not, oh, I think that's too far and I really think we should do something else. You're fired.
They've already invested in you. If you have some sort of artistic measure that you'd like to
make the movie better with without completely undressing and having sex with the guy, then bring it up.
If you think it's too far, say no. Guess what? You can say no. I know the Me Too movement
but really want you to believe that you can't say no because of the power dynamic.
But that isn't true.
It is far from the truth.
And you can probably talk to, I don't know, 90% of wives and husbands around America.
Because I don't know how your marriage works,
but funny thing is, I'm married to a female and she identifies as a female at this time in my life.
life.
And ever since I've known her, actually, she's identified as a female.
I'm sorry.
Ever since I've known my wife, that person has identified as a female.
And there have been plenty times when the word, no, get spoken to me and others from this person
that's my wife that's identifying as a female.
And it seems to work pretty good.
It's a pretty powerful word.
No.
And if you don't like it, then you can say, well, how about, how about yes?
How about yes?
No.
You mean you're just making the decision?
Yes, I knew I could get her to say that word.
It's agonizing to me that the power dynamic, please, please.
And I'd also like to maybe talk about.
about the, you know, the things that matter in people's lives.
You know, like the things that are banned in other countries but are legal here in the U.S.,
things that make the United States great.
There are some reasons why the United States of America is great.
Some of the things that are banned in other countries but legal in the U.S., baby walkers.
Now, first you say to yourself, what?
Baby walkers are banned, I know.
Babies in Canada have to learn to walk the old-fashioned way.
They banned baby walkers in 2004.
Now, in Canada, they found that these baby walkers
endangered babies and delay motor and mental development.
If you are caught in Canada with a baby walker,
you are sent to the Eastern Front
if you are caught with a baby walker
possession or selling of a baby walker
can result in fines of up to $100,000
and six months in jail
come on now
how many of you have had kids in baby walkers raise your hand
that's what I thought a lot
how many kids loved their baby walker
because once they figured out that they could move their legs as fast as they could
and ram that thing into your legs, that's what they love doing.
They were busy developing those motor skills that Canada says they can't.
Ketchup in school cafeterias right there is any country that has banned ketchup,
we should just shut them down.
They should be extradited from the United Nations right now,
although we should just end the United Nations anyway.
But aside from that,
No, ketchup in cafeterias?
Are you kidding me?
France banned the tomato condiment from school cafeterias in order to preserve French cuisine.
Um, huh?
Now, according to this story, students can still put ketchup on French fries in these cafeterias.
I would say that we should not be serving French fries if that's the case.
And that can't be the case.
Right?
I mean, if you were in school and you say, I want French fries and I'd like some ketchup on that,
you get kicked out of school immediately, right then, you're done.
Call your parents, you're over.
In France, you'd have to have, what, mayo and mustard.
Nasty.
Oh, it sounds so nasty mayonnaise on fries.
In fact, Heinz should make a big push in France right now.
I'm pushing over that.
And as a wannabe Heinz police officer,
I want a Heinz ketchup police officer badge so bad.
And we've talked about that.
I don't know if we ever talked about it on this podcast,
but I've talked about it plenty on this network
and over the years on other shows.
I want a Heinz ketchup police officer badge so bad
so that when we find people, this would be my job.
I would go to restaurants.
And you know restaurants that have unmarked condiment containers?
So you know that one's mustard and that one's ketchup
and that one's, you know, barbecue sauce.
And they even do it at some restaurants with syrup.
But they're on marked.
They just say, you know, maple or strawberry, whatever it is.
Some people put bad ketchup.
And by bad ketchup, I mean any other ketchup that's not Heinz.
In containers and claim that it's Heinz ketchup,
those particular establishments would be shut down immediately under my authority
as a Heinz ketchup police officer.
if you say to people, yeah, that's Heinz, and it's not, or if, and this is even more horrendous,
if someone were to replace inside a Heinz ketchup bottle, inferior ketchup,
so that people just off looking at it think that it's Heinz ketchup, but inside the bottle it's inferior,
oh my gosh, that place will never be reopened.
We'll shut that down right now.
If you're in there, you just leave.
I'll kick you out because we're shutting it down.
We're locking the doors.
We're chained in the doors shut right now.
That is wrong.
There's incandescent light bulbs that are banned in other countries.
Mullets.
That's kind of a good one, though.
I might have to agree with that one.
Plastic bags, we're trying to get there.
We're definitely trying to get there.
Spanking.
Corporal punishment is a little.
allowed in 19 U.S. states. Now, I know I went to school back at the, you know, turn of the one of
those centuries, you know, a long time ago. But I have been paddled in school before.
My, uh, I had a shop class and they had paddles. So, I mean, I got, I got nailed a number of times.
Uh, different preservatives. Chewing gum. Chewing gum is banned in Singapore. What?
Weird baby names.
This is completely un-American.
You're going to tell me I have to okay a name through the government?
Legislation in Denmark, New Zealand, Sweden, and many other countries, according to this story,
if Danish parents don't choose one of the 7,000 government-approved names for their bundle of joy,
they're required to get church approval.
Oh, man, that's a good gig right there.
Just move there and become the Church of Names.
For the right about of cash, we'll approve your kid's name.
And tobacco.
Everybody wants to hate tobacco.
I know it's bad for you.
But what would happen if you banned it?
People would be buying it up.
Want a bag of Marlboro tobacco?
No, all I got is cools.
I can't do the menthol, man.
That's all I got is cools.
Oh, okay.
So you'd be buying bootleg
bootleg cigarettes all over America.
That might be, that's, good luck.
Good luck banning that.
I know a lot of people want to ban that.
Want to ban alcohol?
Want to ban pot?
Oh, how did that work out for you?
Wait, we've banned that before.
It didn't work out well.
We banned out pot.
Oh, that didn't work out well.
So how about we let people decide what they want to use
and what they don't want to use?
And then let the whole free market thing work itself out.
Huh.
Huh.
That's a crazy thought right there.
Before we head over to the water cooler, I want to tell you a couple of stories about some houses that you want to concern yourself with if you're out looking for a house.
They found a bunch of teeth inside a wall in Georgia in Valdosta.
A thousand teeth inside a wall.
They don't know where it came from.
They don't know how it got there.
They're assuming that it got there because it was.
was an old dental house.
The dentist lived there.
The tenant was a dentist.
Uh-huh.
Right.
Why were they behind a wall?
And another thing that's a little strange, get this.
In Georgia, two other homes have been found with teeth behind walls, and they both
believe that those houses were also dentists.
Is that some kind of dental thing that the dentist pull your teeth and then hide it behind a wall?
I mean, I don't know.
Oh my gosh, Chris Cruz.
That's exactly what it is.
I'm telling you, Chris Cruz is just as deduced and figured out exactly what this is.
those were the homes of the Georgia tooth fairies
because of construction and growth
they keep getting pushed out
it's like the little animals that get run over in the neighborhoods
every time they start building a house
all the animals that lived in that lot
go looking for other places to live and they get run over by cars
that's why you find a skunk every so often in your neighborhood
I just let you know that's why it happens if you ever think to yourself
I wonder why there's skunk or squirrels getting run over
that's why. There's a building close by going up, so you've run them out of their home.
So now we're running tooth fairies out of their homes in Georgia.
That's what we're doing. We're running tooth fairies out of their homes in Georgia.
Now we have to put up a fight for tooth fairies in Georgia.
I thought we were four fairies in today's world.
Tell you about another house.
Kermit-Gosnell's abortion clinic.
Is it Gosnell?
Gossnell? Gossno.
Well, Kermit Gosnell.
You know, the abortion doctor.
You know, the guy that just murdered babies, him.
His clinic is going to go up for sale here soon.
I don't know.
That seems like something that we don't want to tear down.
I don't know that you want to ever move into it again,
but somebody needs to buy it and keep it.
Just so that it's, maybe we put a big sign in there.
former house of baby murderer
and just it lights up every night.
Former house of baby murderer.
2700 square feet
sits right to, I mean,
it's a prime location.
Prime location.
And maybe you do move in.
You know, what we can do is if there's people
in Pennsylvania
that
want to have a safe place for the tooth fairies to live,
maybe they can just move right into Kermit's old place.
and everybody will just leave them alone.
But if you don't want to buy a house in the future that was, you know,
formerly owned by a dentist and has left teeth in the walls,
you might want to get a hold of real estate agents I trust.com.
Real estate agents I trust.com.
I know a lot of you think selling your home is simple.
Just put the four sales sign up there and it's going to sell.
It doesn't really work that way.
And when you're trying to buy a home that you really want, you know what?
You don't want to buy the house and then find out that it was owned by the Tooth Fairy.
Real Estate AgentsI Trust.com.
And that's what we're calling the houses with teeth behind the wall now, the Tooth Fairy's Homes.
But it could actually be, well, I don't want to say that it was a serial killer, but it could possibly be that.
It could be the serial killer, the Tooth Fairy.
criminal minds tonight on CBS, the tooth fairy.
It's just a thought.
In the criminal justice system, there are two,

I am thirsty.
Oh, my.
Have I mentioned how good a cold Coke Zero is?
Because they are good.
Hey, happy national internet day.
Yay!
It's national internet day.
Yay.
And what makes National Internet Day?
Day so special.
Well, this weekend we found out that Twitter founder and CEO, Jack Dorsey,
he was just pondering out loud, you know,
well, I look into removing the ability to like tweets.
Just get rid of that like button.
And people weren't too happy about that.
Now, Jack, I think, needs to remember from time to time
that he actually is the CEO and founder of Twitter
and doesn't need to be, you know, just wondering out loud.
I wonder, you know, if we just, I don't know, we make Twitter yellow.
I don't know, we use a giant stork instead of our little bird.
Just do that in your office, Jack.
Just keep that to yourself.
Now, Twitter had to immediately respond with, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We have no plans to remove that feature at the moment.
No, no, no, no.
We are just the like button as part of a bigger plan to ensure,
the platform is incentivizing healthy conversation.
Oh, is that it?
Is that it?
Is that what you want to do?
Is incentivize healthy conversation?
See, I was under the impression that what you were in business for is to just let people tweet and follow who they wanted.
Boy, was I wrong, huh?
One of my favorite tweets all upset about Jack and losing.
By Josh Butler, at Josh.
Butler on Twitter, by the way.
His tweet was, users.
Hey, can you get rid of the Nazis, please?
Twitter.
Okay, sure, we've changed the stars to hearts for likes.
Users, no, no.
Zero Nazis, please.
Twitter.
Yep, we're getting rid of Vine.
Users.
Hey, hey, how about the Nazis?
Twitter.
Okay, okay, fine.
No more likes.
It's kind of funny.
And one of the things that I want to remind Josh about is that, you know,
he doesn't have to follow any of the Nazis.
And he doesn't have to follow anybody that follows the Nazis.
So he doesn't really have to know what the Nazis are saying.
So it shouldn't have to affect him at all.
That's how it's supposed to work.
I know they don't think that anymore.
I know Facebook has taken down 82 more pages tied to Iran.
And that they were posting politically charged memes.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
People were posting politically charged memes.
The horror.
And how many of you knew about Gab?
Raise your hands.
Did you know about Gab?
Of course, Chris.
Put your hand down.
I knew you were going to raise your hand.
I knew you were.
It was a show.
I knew about Gab.
How many of you knew about Gab and were using it or had used it in the past?
Of course, Chris raised his hand.
Did I raise my hand?
No.
Had I used Gab before?
No, although I had heard of it.
I just want to back up a little bit.
I had...
Yes.
But I really didn't...
You know, it wasn't...
I was like, okay, a new platform.
Big deal.
However, what they tell you all the time is that...
And I'm guilty of this as well.
With Google and Twitter and Facebook.
Look, if you're unhappy with it,
create your own Facebook.
Create your own Twitter.
I mean, Facebook numbers are going, you know, their shares are going down here in the U.S.
I know Instagram was going up, so Facebook's like so.
We're going to Instagram.
But it does happen.
The free market does work.
But you have to be able to, you've got to be willing to use it, and you've got to be willing to get through the muck to get to the other end.
But when you have platforms like Gab, who on Saturday, Gunman Robert B,
Bowers, the guy who killed, and it says in this story allegedly, I'm pretty sure he did it,
killed 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, moments before he posted on Gab,
screw your optics, I'm going in.
Now, how that is Gab's fault, I have no idea.
But they'll tell me, hold on, I'm sure they will.
In the latest tragedy to shine a light on social media's role in acts of terror and violence,
especially since Bowers had a history of anti-Semitism on Gab.
So he had a history of anti-Semitism on Gab.
So Gab is immediately supposed to know that he's going to go into a synagogue and kill people.
How does that happen?
Oh, I know it doesn't.
Gab started in 2016, and it was supposed to be a no-holes-barred alternative to Twitter.
All right.
Few restrictions so that it earned Gab the alt-right users.
Okay, so the alt-right users got kicked off of Twitter,
and they found a place to go.
Didn't mean you have to go there.
Doesn't mean that they're responsible for them,
but apparently in today's world they are.
And after that,
now PayPal banned Gab from using its payment platform,
Apple refused to host Gab on its App Store,
Google removed Gab from its Play Store,
Microsoft threatened to bar Gab from using its Azure Cloud Service.
So, you know, what happens when you build another,
do you build a better mouse trap?
Even if you build a different mousetrap, it seems that the bigger mousetrap companies
stop you from promoting that new and better mousetrap.
So it's kind of a little catch-22 in what you want to do with that, isn't it?
I mean, it's really kind of weird.
But I will say that the free market does work if you let it.
And how do you know that Twitter doesn't want gab around?
biggest drop in monthly users.
Twitter's efforts to clean up its platform might be working,
but it's resulted in the loss of millions of users.
Nine million monthly active users doing the third quarter of 2018.
Huh.
Wonder what could cause that.
What could cause that?
Snap.
Losing users.
Now it's blaming it's Android app.
It's Android's app
What?
They're there
Really?
Could it be that
You know, people that just
They weren't liking the platform
The way it was built
And what it was doing?
Is that possible?
Is why Instagram is number one now?
Is that possible that that happened?
Huh.
So I don't know what to tell you
About the social media
Because I want to be able to say
I want to be able to have Twitter
And Facebook, particularly
Go in front of the government
and say, what we promised you isn't true anymore.
So if we're to be held responsible for these Robert Bowers going in and killing people,
then we'll, you know, we can't let these people on our platform.
But you said we wouldn't be held accountable.
I'm sure Gap did it too, right?
This Gap?
They had to have done that to become a platform.
People thought.
So if they go before and they get that trust,
would say, hey, we're a platform.
We're providing this platform,
but we can't be held accountable
for what people say on our platform.
That's them.
Not us.
And yet,
who gets held accountable?
The platform.
So, I don't know what to tell you.
Maybe you just unplug.
Maybe you just unplug, you know,
except for, you know,
SoundCloud, Spotify, iTunes.
Google Play Music, Stitcher,
maybe, you know, whatever one of those you use,
and then you download Chewing the Fat.
You just download, you know, the Jeff Fisher Show,
chewing the fat, talking Walking Dead,
bonus Saturday podcast, and then, you know, you rate it,
20 stars, best podcast ever, share with your friends,
so that, you know, there's plenty of subscribers,
and there's plenty of content.
But other than that,
plug.
