And now, a Blaze Media podcast.
Boy, times are tough.
Times are tough.
Pultry recall.
Yesterday we told you about the Nestle's recall.
Today, we have a couple of recalls that are starting to really affect American food.
We have a poultry recall.
22 tons.
43,848 pounds of worth of poultry.
Poultry products.
Distributing...
Oh, no kidding.
Big money.
Now, when you think poultry,
you think...
Chick-fil-A.
Ah, Popeyes.
Well, you think Tyson.
Right?
Tyson Farms.
You think there's the other,
there's the other big chicken place, too.
What is it?
You don't know, the other place.
That's what you think of.
But this comes from K-Tai Queen Trees.
I'm sorry?
Food USA.
K-Tai Queen Trees.
Food USA.
Now, it's a, it's from Vietnam.
Why are we getting chicken from Vietnam?
Have we run out of chicken here in America?
Apparently so.
I know that my son make me sound like a racist.
No, it does.
Oh, it does.
Yeah.
But I want my chickens to be Americans, darn it.
I, but this is probably the chicken that we're getting at.
Popeye's chicken.
They're running out.
Yeah.
Is there a contract with, what was the company again?
Chi Tai Tai, Quintzis, Food USA.
But it's Vietnam.
It's a Vietnamese chicken.
Okay.
So maybe Popeye says it announced Vietnamese chicken.
I don't know.
Apparently, this chicken was discovered to have been imported and distributed
without the USDA's food safety and inspection service.
Import import re-inspection process.
What?
those? I want that business. That's the guy at the port. Oh, okay. Says, yep, those containers over there
have chicken poultry from the Vietnamese company, Kai Tai Queen Trees Food USA. Did you open the door
and check me sure that I looked at the one. No, no, but did you check all of them? I looked at the
one that has 3,000 pounds. The other 40,000 pounds should be fine too. Let them go. And they put
a sticker on him. But since he didn't look at the first 3,000 pounds, oh, no, but didn't get the
and they get the sticker.
So we got to recall them all.
That's a lot of poultry.
I mean to tell you, it's poultry that came into the U.S.
Wow.
Wait a minute.
I know.
Look at the dates.
Wait a minute.
Yes.
This came in the first of the year.
Yes.
It's all sold through the internet.
Who's buying their chicken online?
I am.
What are they talking about?
I'm buying the chicken online.
Nobody's buying poultry online.
No.
Yes.
No.
No.
Amazon.
Oh, do you want those chicken breasts?
Yes.
those. Nobody is
nobody is
stopping. Amazon sells chicken. No.
Yeah. No. But that's from local
stores, whole foods.
Oh, I thought it was just... You asked
who buys chicken online and I replied.
I don't even think they're buying it there.
No, I'm sorry. I don't buy it.
And I literally don't buy it. I'm not
buying chicken.
Until Amazon is able to
drop from a
drone, my order,
within an hour of my order and drop it on at my house.
I'm not buying chicken online.
I'm no, you cannot make me.
Cannot make me.
Wow.
Slow cooked black chicken.
Nobody stopped.
It's already in the,
it's already out throughout the country.
Look, if you've got.
sick in the last six, seven, eight, nine, ten months.
We're about to finish the year.
It's the Kai Tai Queen Trees Food USA.
I think it's time to sue them.
Maybe I do buy chicken online.
The other recall is a vegetable recall.
I know.
I know.
That's a lot of recalls in the last two days, Jeff.
More than a hundred products recalled over.
I get Listeria.
Hysteria.
Man packing company announced a voluntary recall
of certain vegetable products
out of an abundance of caution.
It's always out of an abundance of caution.
So this is that rubber like yesterday with the
cookie dough?
Yeah, with the Nestle's cookie dough.
This follows a notification by the FDA.
Yeah, the FDA said,
we're going to come and shut you down
and have a big recall.
And they said, oh no, we'll just do it.
that on our own.
Yeah, we got this.
No more about it.
We got it.
Look, it's out of an abundance of caution.
So if you've purchased certain vegetable products with a best if enjoyed by date between
October 11th and November 16th.
So this is still stuff on the shelf, unlike the Kai Thai, Thai, Clean Trees, Food USA Chicken,
you are advised to dispose of the product.
They might want you to dispose of the product.
I would say take it back for a refund.
All right, so this recall includes
various vegetable and ready meal products
sold by the company under the brand names of Del Monte,
H.E.B. Hungry root. Oh, there's nothing like hungry root vegetables.
Kroger Organic, Mann's, Marketside, O. Organics,
signature farms, Cisco, and Trader Joe's.
Wow. That's,
It's a big recall, man.
For vegetable products.
Now, you don't want to get Listeria.
That was the Bluebell ice cream problem, too, with Listeria.
No, I thought it was like the licking.
No, that's enough.
That wasn't recall.
I thought we were recall because people were licking ice creams at Walmart.
People were streaming.
You get a headache, stiff neck, fever, muscle aches, confusion, convulsions, loss of balance.
I have that.
The loss of balance?
I have confusion, headache, stiff neck, fever, muscle aches.
Well, wait.
Convales, loss of balance.
I mean, holy cow.
What was the last time you had a vegetable?
Yeah, just hours ago, I had a vegetable product.
And that was.
I can't remember if it was from Del Monte, H.A.B.
Hungry Room or Kroger Organic Man's Marketside O Organic, Signature Farm, Cisco, or Trady Droves.
But one of those, I had some vegetable products.
Hmm.
So, I mean, whoof.
Now I.
Now I've got a headache, stiff neck fever, muscle aches, confusion, convulsions are coming soon, loss of balance.
However, pregnant women are more likely to experience fever and flu-like symptoms.
That's what I have.
Wait, you're pregnant?
I could be, because I have that.
I don't sure you could be pregnant.
You know, right now in 2019, males can get pregnant now and give birth, so.
Listeria-causing bacterium can be found in soil, water, and animal feces, and thus can be contracted.
from most food types.
Hey, good afternoon.
Welcome to the broadcast.
Wow.
I mean, you know what's going on?
You know what this is?
This is Big Bug.
Big Bug?
This is Big Bug.
So the UN is pushing.
And ever so often, like every three months we get a new story about how good
bugs are for you where they want us to eat bugs.
This is Big Bug.
And Cockeridge Milk.
Big bug.
Doomed.
So it's not Big UN is Big Bug.
No.
But Big Buck.
Stupid.
The UN is being paid off by Big Bug.
That's what it is.
I mean, look, I just report the facts.
And I could coach on that?
Yes.
We just report the facts.
That's all.
It's all.
We just report the facts.
Big Bug is now controlling the UN.
Is that controlling the UN?
Are there the ones also infecting all these chickens from Vietnam?
Don't talk crazy.
And don't talk crazy.
We don't even know that those chickens are infected.
We just know that they've been recalled.
They've been recalled because they got a bad report
because they weren't inspected.
The guy of the inspector being paid off,
by Big Bug.
A big bug.
So, okay, so yesterday we talked about the guy in Minnesota
who was sneaking across the border to Iowa
every weekend to pick up 100 boxes of Krispy Cream donuts
and sneak them back to Minnesota
and sell them for a prop.
The horror.
The criminal.
Not just the horror.
And we reported that Krispy Kreme said,
hey, stop doing that.
We're looking into it.
So as soon as,
I mean,
we had a feeling yesterday on the podcast
and you'd go back and listen to it.
Where can I find that?
Anywhere free podcasts or sold.
But is there a website that I could go
and is like all centralized there?
It's funny you should ask
What?
The blaze.com slash podcast
Oh come on
Just click on chewing the fat
Do you like have to scroll
And just click on chewing the fat
And right there
It gives you all the options
Of different platforms
You can subscribe
That is so convenient
And it gives you all the platforms
So like if you let's say you don't Apple
You what
You can subscribe on others
Let's say you're like a
God-fearing American
And don't Apple
Don't Apple
If you don't Apple, you can subscribe on Stitcher, Google, Spotify.
Now, some of you may Apple, so you could, you know, subscribe on iTunes, but, you know, why.
It's like that even funny.
It's so stupid.
So, it's like the media, I mean, the socials.
I don't Apple.
I just want to be clear that because it frustrates you so much, I will never stop doing that.
So just, just for you.
Thank you.
So anyway, after the podcast drops yesterday,
amazingly, Krispy Cream says,
oh, you know what?
We know we told you to stop and everything,
but you know what?
We're going to donate 500 boxes of donuts.
Donates?
Oh, what?
Because they don't want, they don't want,
they don't want donuts.
They don't want donuts.
They don't want Jason to be delivered.
They're going to give a brand new recipe.
Donates.
Donates.
Donates.
They're going to donate to donuts.
eight.
500 boxes of donuts.
Those vegetables that you ate are very confused.
That's what I'm saying.
I've got hysteria.
I know.
Thank you.
Lawsuit attorney, please,
call me 888-90-33-33.
Operator sending by.
So when Krispy Kreme first learned of this business venture,
told him to stop.
Duh,
they were going to be dicks about it.
They were mad.
Yeah, they were going to probably charge him
with like resell something.
But once they heard chewing the fat and knew the people
were on the side of Jason.
and Gonzales.
After we said that we're going to boycott them too.
Thank you.
We said we're going to boycott,
especially the new,
brandy story about to start here in Brunoke.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Now, I will say that Jason was pretty smart
because he gets 100 of them,
100 boxes,
and they cost about 10 bucks a box,
right, for a dozen donuts from Krispy Kreme.
And that's how much?
He's selling them for 17 to 20 bucks a box.
That's pretty good.
I mean, you got a cover for gas,
wear and tear on the vehicle,
time.
I mean.
And he's trying to raise money for like a new vehicle.
And he's trying to pay for college.
This kid is way, we need to shoot him down.
I mean, we need to stop him.
I have no idea why Krispy Kreme just doesn't say,
hey, we'll make you a partner and let's build a store in Minnesota.
I honestly still feel like they're missing the opportunity.
I think so too.
To either give him a store or give him a Krispy Kreme Donuts truck
and have it filled up, ready for him,
picks up, goes, comes back.
And he can still pay for them.
I mean, of money.
Yeah, of course, yes.
We're not saying, but give him the truck.
You know how much, that's eight hours of your.
your truck going from.
More than that, I mean, he's driving in a rock town.
I mean, he's going back and forth to school.
But I feel like, you know, the executives are at Christian,
but you can only use it from travel from here to there.
Also, now you're putting rules on it.
We're going to give you a truck, but you can only drive it this amount of time.
No, no, you can only drive it when you're going to pick up our donuts.
Are you working for big bug now?
I'm working for big donuts.
Wow.
So they, of course, you know, praised his entrepreneurial spirit.
And they're, you know what?
we just want to help Jason achieve his goals.
So thank you.
Thank you.
So they're going to give him 500 boxes of donuts.
Just out of the goodness of Krispy Kreme's heart.
But have they said it's okay for him to continue his own way of like buying his own?
Well, are these 500 donuts?
I know because they say our main concern.
This is why they made him stop.
Because our main concern is that the donuts Jason sells maintain our high product quality standards.
No, it isn't.
No, shut up.
Stop.
Shut up.
Because when I go to racetrack, those are the donuts that you guys delivered.
Are those high quality, those are maintaining the high quality standards, given the distance and manner in which he's trending?
That's not up to you.
No.
By the way, those are donuts.
He drives to your store from wherever and buys your product.
He can take them wherever the hell he wants.
Absolutely.
That's, no, I'm sorry, Krispy Cream, now you're back to ticking me off again.
Honestly, feel like after this, they're going to have like a no resale.
I think so, too.
Under boxes.
Damn it, Jeffine, I was so happy about this story.
We have to talk to Jason to see what's going on with this guy.
He's a little bit busy.
Well, tell him, we'll give him a box of donuts.
Oh, from what donuts?
From Krispy Kreme?
Yeah, he'd probably be tired of this.
I think by now he's tired of him.
Tell him, give him some Dunkin's.
There we go.
Yeah, we'll get some Dunkin' Donuts.
Yeah, we'll get some Dunkin.
America runs some Dunkin's.
Are they a sponsor of this broadcast now?
Well, they did become profitable this last quarter.
Yeah, thanks to Jason.
They have extra money.
Wrong donut shop.
All right, so Jason Gonzalez, you know, we just talked about him,
selling Krispy Cremes to make money.
Wait, did Jason get married to Sarah Gonzalez?
That's his name.
Oh, okay, I thought you were talking about Jason,
Butro and then like Sarah Gonzalez.
They just, I, sorry.
Why are you speaking?
Did I say, hey, Chris?
All right, we're going to start again.
You can edit that out.
You know the Krispy Kreme guy that we just got done talking about?
He's been selling these Krispy Kreme's to make money.
We've been saying, you know, even Krispy Kreme is, you know,
complimenting his entrepreneurial spirit.
But really, he's having to drive all that way and do it travel and wear and tear on his car
and his body and time.
not making that much money.
Okay, sure, he's making a little bit of money.
Sure, he's doubling his money on each case that he sells, sure.
But that's just it, though.
But how would you like to make $3,300 for just doing one thing?
It's one thing.
All you can do is one thing and you make $3,300.
I'm not doing something like, put something in the cup.
I'm not doing that.
You don't put anything in the cup.
I'm not donating anything like blood or, you know.
You don't have to donate any blood?
I'm not going to go and like stay in a like dome thing to see if like this thing works than out of space.
I'm not doing that either.
That's just close.
Oh, that's close?
It's close.
Oh, okay.
Scientists are currently searching for healthy volunteers.
That eliminates us.
Wait.
No, speak for yourself.
I am healthy.
Are you?
Yes.
Are you?
Yes.
Because I say no to that.
I am very healthy.
Oh my gosh.
That is so not true.
Just.
Don't even.
Mr.
Here's my handicapped list from the government.
That does not make me unhealthy.
Yes, it does.
Oh, that's very like shame.
Yes, it does.
Like, are you shaming me?
Are you handicapped shaming me?
Yes.
Yes, I am.
How dare you?
All you have to do, if you're healthy, unlike us.
is get infected with the flu virus.
Oh, I can do that.
I can do that.
Yeah, except you're not healthy.
You get $3,300.
They shoot you up with the flu virus,
and then they just want to see how it reacts.
Do you have to say somewhere, or can I just go home?
Let's see.
Volunteers will receive a nasal spray containing the virus.
Don't even have to take the shot.
Just step in the nose.
You're going to spend about 10 days under observation.
I don't know that you have to stay anywhere,
but you just have to be observed for 10 days.
They probably give you, you know, just the, they probably...
Oh, no.
I don't want a freaking tracker on my ankle?
No, they give you the wrist band that...
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.
That Felicity had on a wrist at the camp.
Can I hit, can I get hers?
So they give you, you do the ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch, with the flu virus,
and then they give you the wristband, so every so often,
zz-z-z-z-you-know-all-you-every thing.
I'm fine, I'm fine here.
What is it, the Paw Rangers?
Yes.
Is it the Power Rangers race?
Yes.
Fitbit.
I'm fine.
Thank you.
Ooh,
Fempe just got bought by Google, by the way.
Yeah,
that makes me want it even more or less.
I can't remember what word I was going to use.
Less.
I think that's it, yeah.
The trial is going to take around four months,
and you receive $3,300 depending on how long they stay,
and the number of follow-up clinic visits required.
They're going to jip you out of money.
They are.
Absolutely.
So you start,
it's like when you go to the manor for Halloween.
Holy cow.
You start with $3,300 and then it goes down by every day that you're not there.
The trial is intended to help researchers develop vaccines.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, blah, blah.
Let's see.
Volunteers can sign up for four trial sites.
Baltimore, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Durham, North Carolina.
Okay, so Baltimore, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Durham, North Carolina.
I feel like I have to move to North Carolina.
Why do we have to, why did they just say Durham?
When do they got against North Carolina?
Because it's probably having no Durham.
It's Baltimore.
and then everybody's supposed to know.
Oh, this is Baltimore, Maryland.
Yeah, Maryland.
Cincinnati.
Oh, yeah, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Yeah.
St. Louis.
Oh, yeah, St. Louis, Missouri, yeah.
You have no idea where St. Louis was.
There's no way you know where St. Louis was.
You were talking about Missouri.
And Durham.
Ooh, where's that one at?
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Nobody knows.
Duh.
It's North Carolina.
Is that West Virginia?
Yes, that's what it is.
Yes, Durham, West Virginia.
Flu season has already started across the U.S.
I know.
I meant to get my flu shots the other day.
Do you get your shot?
that were here.
Literally, the company brought the flu shot to you.
All you had to do is walk out to the hallway and get shot.
I had to go upstairs.
Oh, that was not.
I don't do the stairs.
Yeah, you only do like once a month.
I don't even do that anymore.
No, once a quarter.
Yeah, I'm not doing that.
In fact, I might be breaking that down again too.
Like once a year?
Maybe.
Yeah, I'm not doing the stairs.
Again, free flu shot right upstairs.
I was like...
It was a whole timing thing.
It was just...
You had like a week.
of advance of notice so you could work up to
walking upstairs. Yeah, but there was other things going on.
Absolutely not, because I was not really here, so you don't,
you know, you could have just gone up.
I didn't even, I didn't even know about it.
You did, because I told you.
I mean, sure I saw the email.
You did.
And sure, I thought, hey, that's,
I should probably go get a flu shot, but then the day of,
it was like, hey, flu shots are here and I'm like,
eh,
eh, I got things to do.
So,
boom, dead, Jeff.
So I can't believe this company does not give people a flu shots.
They do.
They did last week.
I think it was last week or two weeks ago.
I can't believe they would just bring someone here and give people a flu shot.
That's exactly what they did.
This is America?
It is America.
They can't even just bring somebody here and give you a flu shots?
Oh.
I'm bad to what.
I can't.
Why do I even work here?
That's a question.
They don't even give a free.
You can go to any pharmacy.
I'll give it.
and just walk in and they give you a flu shot.
Yeah, for five bucks.
Nope.
That's it for free.
Okay.
I've never paid for a flu shot.
I mean, you know, yes, you pay for insurance,
and yes, the insurance pays for it,
so technically you pay for it.
But I've never paid anything out of pocket for a flu shot.
If you have, that's an issue.
Perhaps you ought to bring that up with your insurance company.
Because most companies would just bring
somebody here in the building and, you know, take care of it.
Not this one. Weird.
App war is still going on.
We've got, and I'm not sure what the deal is here, but it looks like Samsung and
Netflix has got a little spat going on now because it's breaking now that after the
first of the year that a lot of the Samsung TVs that used to come with Netflix on it,
no more.
so not sure why what the deal is
but whatever kind of deal Netflix had with Samsung
they decided that they weren't going to pay that deal anymore
I'm sure that had something to do with it
you never know now another thing that Netflix is doing
we talked about how they are
testing
being able to fast speed up the shows that you're watching
and a lot of the actors
and stuff were all wound up about it
saying, how dare they mess with our art?
Well, if that's the case, then I'm pissed that they can do it with the podcast.
How dare you mess with the art of this show?
So get over yourself.
Actors do your art.
And if Netflix wants to let people allow to watch it on a faster speed, tough.
Get over it.
And I want to ask you, who is messing up with your art?
Thank you.
No, no, no, no.
No, stop.
But you said, people.
People are messing with podcasts.
Yeah.
Who's messing with your podcast?
Any company that allows you to speed up this podcast is messing with my art.
Yes.
What kind of art?
Like, I'm confused.
You are part of this art that we create every day.
Thanks to me, by the way.
You're welcome.
But, like, oh, man, do I cut that off in a heartbeat?
And I know, I know.
That's another whole other story.
But we'll just let that one go for a second.
But you're part of the art that we create here.
every day on chewing the fat.
Oh, so the podcast.
This canvas of work chewing the fat
is now messed with by the products
that are able, if you're able to listen to chewing the fat
on a faster speed.
But see, how about like as a consumer,
I'm trying to listen as many podcasts as I can
and I only have-
I don't care about the consumer.
You should care about the consumer
because you're making this art.
I want the consumer to consume my art
the way I intended
my art to be consumed.
You as a lowly citizen don't have a say.
It's agonizing.
And that's the way they think.
It's agonizing.
You sound like Robert De Niro right now.
I know.
That's how they think.
It's ridiculous.
Or Stephen Spielberg.
It's ridiculous.
Create your art.
Do what you do.
And I'll digest it the way I want to.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I get to choose how I digest it.
How about if I just go like this on subscribe?
and not enjoy your art.
Oh, we'll find, we'll hunt you down and find you.
If you unsubscribe from this podcast.
Don't do it.
Well, I mean, I don't, I'm not threatening you with a weapon or anything,
but I'm just saying we'll hunt you down.
No, I'm not.
If Chris comes with me, that's what you're going to get.
I'm not, I'm not threatening you with the weapon.
Well, I'm just telling you, we'll hunt you down.
No, we're not.
So now, what's kind of cool?
is Samsung is going to
test you being able
to skip jokes. I mean, not Samsung
Netflix, is going to
test whether to skip jokes. You know how
you can skip the intros?
Yeah. They're going to, like they've got a new
comedy special coming out.
And if the comedy
is about Trump,
that's Trump jokes
and you can, you don't want to hear Trump jokes,
skip past it.
I feel like now you're impeding my first amendment
right. I'm an artist.
I don't know.
Like, I need, is my, I know.
This is, oh, no, I don't like this.
This can, like, so, oh, I don't know.
Am I supposed, Jeffrey, am I supposed to like this?
Am I supposed to support this?
I, I don't know.
Because I feel like I'm not supposed to support this.
So Seth Myers has got a new comedy special coming out.
All right, and he's, this is, he's going to be like one of the test subjects for being able to skip past Trump jokes.
Okay.
Can I skip, is Hillary jokes?
Now, personally, I mean, why can't you just let me decide whether I want to skip the whole special?
See, that's what I'm saying.
Like, I feel like they're manipulating me of things to watch and not to watch.
Uh-huh.
What about, uh-huh.
So I'm not supposed to like this.
This is wrong.
I don't know.
They want you to do it.
Look, look, this is what, this is the complaint with the thing that Pat uses all the time.
Vin Angel.
Yes, but that's different.
Is it?
That's different.
I don't think so.
Yes, it is.
Vita Angel is completely different.
I'm trying to turn.
I'm deciding the content I want to watch
inside a particular product.
Yes, but the content that I don't want to watch is like pornography content.
Oh, it could be whatever, but Netflix is saying that you'll be able to skip whatever you
want.
No, they can't do that because that's free speech, First Amendment.
But it's not.
But it is.
They're allowing you.
giving you the opportunity.
And I'm torn.
I'm torn on this.
But they're giving you the opportunity to view the product as is.
But why do it with Trump?
Because when they,
the problem having,
and I think the reason why I'm having it all torn up is because they're like,
oh,
you can skip the Trump jokes.
And automatically I'm like,
first amendment,
why am I not listening about Trump?
You know what I mean?
Like,
I think that's what it is.
It's like they made,
they included Trump in it and I'm like,
whoa,
maybe I'm a snowflake because I got offended
real quick. I'm all about the First Amendment now.
I know. I know.
I'm just saying they've got different, you know,
now you're talking about even like, you know.
Isn't that censorship?
That censorship.
Kind of.
But didn't Delta get upset?
Like the Delta customers got to say they removed the same sex sex things, right?
So should I be upset that they removed the Donald Trump choice?
But they're not removing it.
But they're giving me the option to remove you the option to skip through.
Of course I'm going to press yes because there's a button on the screen and you press the button.
Oh, I disagree with that.
I mean, it would make me want to.
Why do you want me to skip through this?
I want to hear it.
No, I have to skip because the button came up to skip.
And I'm like, okay, I'm skipping.
You're telling me what to do.
Of course I'm going to do it.
No.
Yes.
I mean, that's the way they think, but that's not the way I think.
I think it's the opposite.
Yeah, but who is like you?
I think you're telling.
That's a good question.
Okay.
I have a couple of airlines stories.
All right?
No, I don't need to be the pilot.
I don't need to be the pilot.
I know we're losing for the pilot.
Now, maybe, well, hold on,
maybe one of the stories I do.
Not this one.
This one I see where Matt Walsh
from the Daily Wire
and he does, you know,
whatever Matt Walsh does, he does.
If you have an opportunity to follow him,
you can follow him on Twitter
at Matt Walsh, right?
Is that his Twitter account?
At Matt Walsh.
At Matt Walsh blog is his Twitter account.
is his Twitter account.
And he asked a question today.
Flight from Baltimore to L.A.
boarding number A4.
So I had my pick of seats.
A guy gets on in Group C
and asks if I would switch to an empty middle seat
so that his wife can sit next to him.
I say no.
Question.
Who is the jerk here?
Matt Lodge.
Me for refusing or the guy for asking.
Matt Walsh.
See, I agree with Phil Cook, who I would love to talk to on this spot.
I love Phil Cook at Phil Cook on Twitter.
He replied, neither is a jerk, okay?
Might as well ask, but you're fine for saying no.
Sounds like you're feeling guilty, however.
Absolutely, right?
So you can't not ask.
All right, with your wife and you want to say.
You know, can you move?
No, I'm good right here.
So you're kind of, oh, whatever.
Fine, right?
You might be a little, the guy who asks might,
at the original point of contact, oh, come on.
Yeah, because they've asked, like, I've, wow,
three of the times I've flown,
someone has asked me if I could move.
Right.
And I've had.
And you did?
Yes.
Okay.
Because like two of them were little kids and one of them was a spouse.
Now Matt goes on to say in the thread that he would,
He said, by the way, I've been asked before.
And if you're a parent with a kid, I move.
But a parent and a guy and a wife asked just so they can't be separated for a couple hours on a flight?
No, no thank you.
I feel like this is a setup for a joke.
No, I thought so too, but it's not.
A husband and a wife walk into the plane and a rabbi's in the corner.
And the priest says, the priest gave a rim shot.
He's got a drum.
I mean, he was flying with Kanye?
Yeah, he was trying to get into the Sunday service and he wouldn't.
It's not. I was just thinking, well, you know, I, you're, when you're asked something like that, when you're by yourself, you say no.
You do kind of feel bad about saying no, but then you've.
So his defense was that it was because a husband, a man and a woman, man and a woman.
They just don't want to be separated for like an hour and a half.
Yeah, I agree on that one. I'm like, shut up.
Oh, just sit apart. Yeah. Move on. I'm comfortable right here.
Go to the bathroom and join the, you know, my high club. So.
Oh, hey, there's an idea.
Exactly.
But speaking of going to the bathroom on an airplane,
now we have a new study that talks about water, coffee, and tea on planes so dirty it could make you sick.
Yeah.
We've already heard about how the air quality on planes are bad.
It's just freaking fart.
We've had, we've had, you know, you always try to hose yourself off after a flight.
If you don't, man, you have to hose yourself off, man.
Head to toe.
Yeah, you got to go through.
I mean, I stop off at the nuke plant and just go through the decontamination zone.
Have you been through one of those?
A decontamination zone?
I wish I've gone through one of them because it looks fun.
I'm not handicapped, so I've never been through one of those.
I don't think that's a handicapped thing.
I absolutely don't think it's a handicap.
Okay, I'll just check it.
It's just to mess with Chris on that.
With the, no, I never have.
It's a division, Chris.
I never had been through.
I never personally have been through one.
It looks like fun.
Yes, it does.
Because it's like 80 gallons.
But it looks like fun.
If you don't actually have to be decontaminated.
Yeah, because then you have the guy with a soup brushing you.
Right.
You're bleeding.
Yes.
I mean, if you actually are contaminated, that's an issue.
Yeah, Chernobyl.
That's an issue.
Yeah.
But anyway, most flights, they say the water for the coffee and the tea.
Uh, no, no, no, no.
According to Hunter College's NYC Food Policy Center,
who teamed up with Diet Detective.com.
Oh, I want to do for that detective.
To conduct what they call the 2019 airline water study.
They looked at 11 major airlines, 12 regional airlines,
to see how safe their drinking water is.
This is all the people in the study died.
So we're done.
Does it say what airlines?
They examined airline fleet size,
the presence of coliform bacteria,
E. coli in the water,
the amount of times the airline has violated
the aircraft drinking water rule,
a 2011 act that the government put in place
to require airlines to provide safe drinking water.
Wow.
Again, why airlines have they tested?
Three of the 11 major airlines,
just calm down with your little questions for a second, okay?
I'm flying in next month.
Three of the 11 major airlines,
so you're not flying major airlines.
You don't fly major airlines.
Oh, my gosh.
So three of 11 of the major airlines
and one of the 12 regional
ones scored a three or higher,
meaning that the water on
all the rest of the airlines
not safe. Oh crap, that's spirit.
Okay, here's some names.
Okay, here we go, names.
They concluded that Alaska Airlines
and Allegiant
have the safest water of the majors
well done. With Hawaiian
in second place
Spirit and JetBlue
had the lowest scores.
No, you kidding.
No, you're BSing me.
Are you serious?
Look, I just read the facts.
Yeah, but like you, who.
Regionally, Piedmont was the safest
and Republic Airways at least.
But, you know, I've been amazing,
I've flown all these stupid airlines, too.
Doesn't matter.
So JetBlue and Spires are at the bottom?
That's correct.
The lowest course.
So what they're saying,
and they're saying you should bring your own water.
Well, can't.
You can't bring your own water.
Yeah, you can.
How?
There's no liquids involved after TSA.
No, after TSA you buy a bottle of water.
Yeah, that's like $15.
Okay, Mr. I want a fly spirit for two bucks.
My health is not worth that much.
It's not worth that much to me either.
So go ahead and drink all the water you want on spirit, my friend.
But, you know, butch up a little bit.
Spend a couple bucks.
And now, okay, so now I was saying you should bring your own hand sanitizer.
And instead of use the hand sanitizer that you bring, don't wash with the water in the bathroom.
Well, yeah, that makes sense.
If the water is not drinkable, why will you watch hands with water?
Wow.
Take it easy.
They're talking about the way they pump drinking water into the tanks from various sources.
That's what makes the water quality bad because of the equipment that transfers the water onto the plane.
no cabinets, the trucks, the carts, the hoses, all of it.
I have not read the entire study yet.
I will, and we'll dig into it deeper tomorrow
because I want to see some of the other stuff.
But more and more, other than Chris, you shouldn't fly spear.

So, apparently people in
today's world don't realize that no matter what kind
of vehicle you're on, if you're drunk, it's still
a DUI. People have been
arrested by riding a bicycle,
lawnmowers,
horses, which I, you know,
the bicycle thing, I mean, I'm kind of,
agonizing with that.
Scooters. Right.
Segues.
I get it. Other things.
You're not supposed to be on them.
Airplanes.
Yeah, you don't definitely want to fly an airplane.
I don't care.
You could probably get arrested for DUI
if you're flying around even the...
Tanks.
I saw the guy. Any vehicle.
Any vehicle. You can't do it.
But a 32-year-old man
in Louisiana, apparently thought that his electric powered shopping cart from Walmart
was good enough to drive around and avoid the DWI.
Hey, he's out on the streets, is he?
Uh-uh.
Now, at first you think, no way.
He's stealing the cart.
I thought the carts had the little, uh, you know.
So the shopping carts have those.
Right, but the motorized ones don't.
No, no, we don't care about those.
Wow.
We don't care about the shopping carts, not those.
Second, it says, I don't know how far.
those things go, right? I mean,
it seems like you have to
charge him quite a bit to get him to
go some distance. Now, he took it from
the store, about a half mile
away down the road, to a bar.
Parked it between, parked into the parking lot
went inside. According to the story,
somebody complained. Who is
going to complain? Who complained? If you
pull into a bar and
there's a Walmart electric
cart there in the parking space
next to work, you're laughing at it. You're going to park and they go,
Wow.
And I'm sorry, why did he leave it outside?
Why do you just take it all the way inside?
You're an idiot.
Well, he was actually at another bar.
He went around the corner to another bar.
I didn't want to take it because I don't want to get a deal.
I don't want to lose my parking spot.
By the time he goes from Walmart, which is, you know,
drive around Walmart and you drive it around the parking lot,
which usually the parking lots are bigger than the stores.
It's not dead.
Down to the bar.
It's not dead.
You're out of charge.
Yeah, you're out of gas.
There's no charge lot.
Look at a Walmart.
are you going to.
Oh my gosh.
Those things
they only last.
No, they do not.
Yes, they do.
No, they do not.
I have used them before.
They do not last forever.
So you used them and it did not last forever.
Nope.
I've used them and they'll last forever.
What's the difference?
What are you getting at?
Are you saying that perhaps
I don't know,
the more weight you put on them,
the more juice they use?
I didn't say that.
All I'm saying is, is you're right,
because I did do a lot of shopping.
You used it.
and it did not, you know, did not survive the entire shopping experience.
I used it.
It lasted the entire shopping period plus I raced with them after hours.
And it's embarrassing too because you're halfway done with shopping and you got to call the guy over and get bringing a new cart.
Me!
Beep, beep, beep.
Boom.
Excuse me.
Could you get me another cart?
This one is dead.
And then they got to go get the new car.
and they got to help you on to the other one.
I got to move the groceries over.
It's embarrassing.

You know what?
Here's an idea for all the social media networks and all the social media platforms.
This is just a thought from chewing the fat.
You let people post what they want.
You take money for advertising that is,
ads and you let people decide whether they want the product or not, whether it's true or not,
whether it's mean or not, whether it's ugly or not, and you just are, I don't know, the platform.
Let's spend just a thought.
Wait.
From chewing the fat.
You tell me right now that if Joe Biden says Jeff Fisher, I want to sponsor and do some ads on your podcast, you need to take his money?
Well, let's pause for just a moment, okay?
I want that available to me, yes.
Nobody else.
It would be...
Absolutely not what I asked.
Absolutely not even close of the question I asked you.
But I'm saying, but that's not, but I'm not a platform.
Again, not a platform.
Neither is them.
Yes, neither is them.
Yes, neither is them.
ain't and they ain't one either
because they say they're not a platform
but they are but they're not yes they are
so that's why I'm asking you
the government has already given them special dispensation
on high for being a platform
that's why I'm telling you
if Joe Biden says
Jeffie I need to put a couple ads
in your podcast you know what
Elizabeth Warren's is right behind here
give me a little bit of Hunter Cash I'm good
Biden is no is Biden Warren
booty judge okay
if they think
If they believe, by giving me money to advertise on my show will help them succeed, absolutely I take their money.
You sell up.
I'm not a sell-up.
You progress a sell-up.
I believe that my audience is smart enough to know that what they're espousing is bullcrap.
But I am a capitalist lover.
And if they are willing to pay me money, I'm willing to take it.
Thank you.
Joe doesn't have to worry about, you know, firing somebody at the top of the food chain to keep his son off the hook.
None of that.
And by the way, you just go to the blazedtv.
And subscribe to the Blaze TV.
And you can watch the Glenn Beck special.
I know.
I just give it a little bit of love.
Because the Ukraine, the UK trilogy is next Wednesday.
Yeah.
Yeah, so it'll be a part of it.
So is this going to be a movie?
It should be.
Blaze Media.
I don't know.
Maybe a company should pick that up and make a movie out of it.
Mercury Radio Arts presents the Ukraine trilogy.
I like it.
There we go.
I like it.
Can you do the voiceover for the...
You know, one of the things we did a long time ago, which is really cool.
It's still out there, I think.
I think you could still probably get it on...
And I don't know the answer to this if it's still available or not.
But we did a making of Blaze TV that I was the voice of.
And that should be, Netflix should put that up,
the making of Blaze TV.
No, I hate people like you.
I really do.
What are you talking about?
Netflix should, yeah, Netflix should pick it up.
Netflix should pick that up.
Would you think like Netflix is like this thing that has a...
They should pick it up and the guy that did the voice over work should get money.
You know, you think they're like this big like person that just drops money and be like,
oh, what?
Look, oh, my.
my gosh yes they are stop
stop going to Netflix like they should just
own everything I think there's like a law
on that like I think it's not owning it they're
just putting it out there for people to view it
stop it don't do that that sounds makes you
looks foolish
Netflix should do that I know one thing that makes
people look foolish how about you
listening to it how about you do it
they don't have Netflix do it how about you do it
okay
done you do it not never okay

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we could watch the morning show.
on Apple TV, which I know you love.
Oh, oh.
And the other one...
See, I think I'm being discriminated against.
Why?
That I can't watch Apple TV products without an Apple product.
No, that's not true.
Not true at all.
It's not?
No, I watch it through my Fire TV stick.
You can watch it anywhere that you could download a app.
You could download the Apple TV app.
So I can download the Apple TV app on my phone.
Check.
No joking.
Check.
Does your phone get apps?
I don't know, grandpa.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Go, go.
Oh,
Apple TV.
Does your phone get apt?
I don't know.
I don't know.
You have a smartphone doesn't get apt?
What is it?
What do you sound like that?
No,
see,
pick up the phone.
No, Jeff,
you pick up the phone
and sit for the damn app.
Jeez.
You already had the phone in your hands.
And by the way,
it's not the emoji Apple.
You have to write out
Apple and then the plus sign.
What?
Yeah.
I think that's very good.
Hold on.
Yeah.
Apple TV.
Apple TV.
Apple TV.
TV shows, movies.
This is just for me to watch.
It doesn't let me have it.
It's not talking about the app.
I got to go back.
It should be black with an apple and then next one says TV.
Apple TV.
Apple TV.
Oh, and this is at the Apple store.
What's up?
This is at the app store, by the way.
Yeah, I got it.
Okay.
Hulu, A-Cast for Apple TV.
Apple, free Apple TV remote.
To my...
Roku Netflix.
I've already got all these.
I don't see an Apple TV one, though.
On my Samsung 9-plus.
I've got A-Cast for Apple TV, but that's not.
Why are they giving me the free Apple TV remote?
Oh, yeah, that's a fun one.
That's a fun one.
want to have.
But I don't have the, no, I got Amazon Prime.
Yeah, I know it's installed already.
I already, I got it.
I have it.
Hulu's Spectrum TV.
Oh, amazing.
I can get Spectrum TV.
Oh, you know, I can get cable on my phone.
Yeah, you can.
I know I, we're done.
I want to tell you a story that is agonizing before we leave here today.
The story's been on my show sheet for like five days and I've been meaning to get to it.
And every time I look at it, I read farther into it.
And it gets worse and worse.
worse and worse.
Now, I want to start out with no one supports law enforcement and court employees and appointed judges more than this show.
No one does.
No one.
But an armed shoplifter, well, I'm sorry, he was an armed shoplifting suspect.
All right.
he's being chased in suburban Denver.
He breaks into a home because he's running from the cops.
All right?
Law enforcement surrounds the house.
They break into the house.
They blow up walls, fired tear gas.
They drove a military-style armored vehicle through the property's doors.
A judge ruled, and I say a judge,
It finally went to the federal appeals court in Denver
who ruled the homeowner who had no connection to the suspect
does not deserve to be compensated
because police were acting to preserve the safety of the public.
So he gets zero money.
Well, actually, I think they gave him five grand.
It took him like over a hundred
thousand dollars to fix his house and the lawsuit itself was another 30 grand to say hey you guys need to pay me for this uh you wrecked my house
i had nothing to do with with this guy and i need to do this and then i say he spent 100,000 he spent 400,000.
to rebuild it, plus another $28,000 on legal fees.
The city said,
ah, you know what, here's $5,000.
Take care.
Good luck, God bless.
And now he's out.
We don't owe you anything.
Have a nice day.
Good luck, God bless.
So you better hope you're home
when someone who breaks into your home
running from the police so that you can end it.
No, not the podcast.
You don't want to end the podcast.
You want to end the guy that broke into your home.
So that you can end it.
So the police don't drive vehicles through your front door and wreck your house.
I mean, that is agonizing.
And, I mean, the guy, he started shooting at the police.
He breaks into this guy's house.
They're chasing him.
He breaks into this guy's house.
And they were after him because, like, he stole a belt.
Is that why he stole?
That's what they said.
They thought he was a shoplifter.
I stole a belt.
I mean, are what do we need?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Did I say a belt?
Again, I apologize.
Yeah, we get the facts right, please.
Two belts in a shirt.
Oh, that is.
Is that worth wrecking $400,000 worth of damage to this guy's?
Absolutely.
Okay, sure he was firing at the officers.
So the swat off of it, it's okay to drive through the guy's house,
tear it up, tear gas, wreck the walls.
Just go in there. Just go right through it.
Doesn't matter. So, okay, the city will pay.
But, no, they won't.
That's the whole problem. And the moral of the story is?
The moral of the story is.
Yeah, it's more because usually, you know, when people talk about this,
it's just like a moral of the story is that.
Holy cow.
The moral of the story is be home.
Don't ever leave your house.
So if somebody breaks into it after they stole two,
belts in a shirt and start firing at the police who've been chasing you're able to come in
from the back room and go, yo, hey, what's going on?
Hello, police.
So you can come in and get them.
I took care of it for you.
You don't need to knock down my door.
Throw in bombs, tear gas, wreck the walls, kick in the doors, kicked in all the property.
So I don't have to rebuild the whole thing.
The police had their right.
Of course they do.
They were chasing a criminal.
I know.
I know they were.
And of course they were protecting.
It's for everyone's safety.
Absolutely.
He was fired under cops.
I know that.
It's for everyone's safety.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, I know.
I don't like, I don't like.
No one supports.
What?
The police or the judge.
The judges.
Uh-huh.
Uh, more than this show because it's agonizing.
That is unconscionable.
That they say,
I know, but I, you were after a suspect.
I appreciate you trying to, you know,
keep us all safe and do your job.
And it was great that you apprehended them.
And, you know, you took him down.
But you also, I don't know, blew up my walls
and brought in an armored vehicle
through my front doors and back doors.
Sue the criminal, not us.
Civil suit on the criminal.
The guy was stealing two belts in a shirt.
You think he can afford 400,
thousand to rebuild my house.
Civil suit.
Sue him. Again, I ask.
So even if you win that case, you still get zip.
Nata. Zero.
Waiting for a response.
Civil suit.
Yeah, that's what I thought. There isn't one.
The takings clause of the Constitution,
which says private property cannot be taken for public use without just compensation
Oh, but it can.
That's what he was fighting for.
I mean, he was fighting for that, the takings clause,
which now they say, you know what?
You can, though.
We can't just wreck your house and come in after it
because it's for the safety.
The safety, yes, absolutely.
One criminal is behind bars
because of what they did.
So the ends justify the means.
No, they don't.
But I want to be clear
when I say no one supports.
And this really isn't the police.
The police actually were doing their job
and they apprehended this criminal
and good for them.
Wait, you added to change quick.
I know, because I'm just
because I was teasing about no one's supports,
but I mean, really, the police were doing their job
and they were keeping people safe, right?
They were.
They were doing their job, and they did it.
They apprehended him.
I feel like this is a gotcha statement.
However, see, there it is.
In the end.
I knew it.
It was too good to be true.
In the end.
The whole,
Oh, here's a couple of bucks.
Sorry.
Hey, they gave me money.
Didn't mean to destroy your living quarters.
Didn't mean that.
Sorry.
Here's a couple of bucks.
Sure, here's a couple of bucks.
Take care.
Good luck.
God bless.
But you're safe now.
