Starting point is 00:00:00 And now a Blaze Media podcast. Welcome to Chewing the Fat with yours truly, Jeff Fisher. If you're listening live today, the 11th of December 2019, coming up tomorrow, which is actually tonight at 12.12 a.m. Just a reminder that you're going to be able to see December's full moon. Oh, your wife will be out. What, she? Cold moon, it's called. Is it blue?
Starting point is 00:00:28 December 12th. at 1212, you're going to be able to see the full cold moon. So it's 12, 12, 12, 12. And remember, I think we all know what that means. It's going to be the last full moon of the decade. So, I'm just telling you, beware. Beware.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Also, those are living in the DFW area, and I don't know if you know this or not, but I'm giving, I got, I'm going to tell you some news, and then I'm going to give you an update and some ideas to help them out a little bit. Nine Dairy Queen restaurants closed yesterday. Didn't even open. Gone. There's a new one not far from my house that just opened not long ago.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Closed. Nobody there. Nine of them around the whole area, the dairy queens just, we're just not going to open anymore. Yeah, sorry. We're closed now. I mean, hello. They're owned by several different companies. One of them is lickety split food.
Starting point is 00:01:45 And they're just closed. Thank you. We're here all week. And international dairy queen brand, of course, is owned by Nebraska-based Berkshire Hathaway. Oh, Warren Buffett. Owns the whole dairy queen. Big deal. What the heck.
Starting point is 00:01:58 I know. Can't even enjoy an ice cream without getting pulled out. Right. Wait. That was me. Anyway, they shut down, and I'm a little disappointed. I mean, I was just, the other day I was driving by the dairy. This is why they shut down.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Two reasons. One, you drive by and you go, man, I got to go. I haven't been to Dairy Queen in a long time. And then you don't go. So then they shut down because nobody's going there. But they look like they were actually doing some business. However, the one closest to my house, you forgot to turn the timer off on the lights. So you guys closed down and didn't open up yesterday.
Starting point is 00:02:32 But last night I'm driving home and the lights are on. All the parking lot lights are on. The Dairy Queen sign is on. The lights are on. but nobody's home. It's closed. So hopefully today, for those of you listening live again, you go over there and shut the timers off on the signs
Starting point is 00:02:50 because you're not open anymore. Okay? Sorry to break it to you, but if you're going to be closed, turn the lights off. 888-9033-93 is the phone number if you wanted to call in to chewing the fat if you're listening live. It's not possible. I've got a phone.
Starting point is 00:03:51 I've got someone on the phone right. How does someone called you? They just called because he's listening live. Put him on. Put him through. I put him through. Hello. What's your first name?
Starting point is 00:03:58 How's it going? Good. How are you? So I understand, and I'm told that we're not supposed to know your name, right? Right. Okay. So can we, is there, do we name you? Can we name you or do you have a name that you'd like to, you know, did you prefer us to call you?
Starting point is 00:04:17 I've got a list of names here, but I'll go by Tim. Okay, Tim. Not his real name. Probably. Oh, should I be, should I be disguising my voice, too? No, we'll get that for you. We'll do that in post. We'll do that in post.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Don't worry about it. Oh, oh, good. Oh, good, okay. So, Tim, I understand that you actually are one of the Amazon influencers that we talked about the other day. Yes, but I'm like the lady, what was her name, Jessica? I'm like her where I'm not an official influencer. I'm doing it the wrong way, the bad way. But that's really, you're just playing by their rules, right?
Starting point is 00:04:56 Sure. Yeah, yeah. Oh, boy. Even though when I became an Amazon member, I signed their contract, which says I'm not supposed to do what I'm doing. Oh. Boy, I can understand why you don't want to give us your real name, Tim. Well, I was telling Chris, I actually got blocked for about a year. and when you see you got blocked from Amazon,
Starting point is 00:05:22 all that really means is they pulled off all of my reviews. My rank didn't show, but I can still purchase stuff because they want me to purchase. Of course. I mean, that's Amazon. Hello. They want you to watch their content, and they want you to purchase their goods.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Now, the one thing that she was saying in the story is that she, how she was getting around some of the block and not being blocked was that she was waiting to review. Were you reviewing too fast? No. Well, there's a, there's the whole struggle. Any of you can get on and start doing it,
Starting point is 00:06:01 but when you're starting out, you're kind of starting the slums. You are getting the low items. I think the first thing I reviewed, just so I could say I was doing it, was this little tool that would put indent in Plato for sculpting. And so you start out at the bottom and you work your way up, and now you're also dealing with the bottom dwellers of the people who are trying to get you to review.
Starting point is 00:06:28 And they're... I can't tell you how much I hate the bottom dweller reviewers on Amazon. Yeah. So anyway, but they're posting stuff, and they're doing stuff in the least ethical way. They're like, you have to give me five stars or this or that or the other. and because of that, they're breaking a lot of the rules. You have to be really careful with them that you're not doing too many of their reviews
Starting point is 00:06:55 or else you'll be associated with them and banned. So yes, you say, you know what, I'm going to wait five days, and they're like, no, no, no, no, I need it now, I need it now, because they're working the other side of the system. They also work for marketing companies. Right. these marketing companies come to them and say, hey, we need these boosted up. And so we need you to get immediate reviews, and we need you to get your guys to search these
Starting point is 00:07:21 certain words, go through nine pages and click on theirs and get the sale. So they had you jump through hoops, and we need you to put this in your wish list for 10 days, wait 10 days, then go back and purchase it from your wish list. You know, view it every other day. A bunch of these hoops, they jump in so that their marketing company. These are saying, hey, see, our algorithms are working. And we're getting this to work out for you. It's already trending.
Starting point is 00:07:47 People are looking at it. It's moving up the charts when people search for that item. It's coming up to the top. Right. So are you, A, making any money? What are you doing with the products? And are you, do you feel like this is, you're doing okay with it? So this is how it works.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Oh, boy. It's fun and it's kind of addicting. You get up every day and you don't want to hear, open up. It's fun. It's fun to get an order and say, I forgot I even asked to get this. But it's like she says, you know, I'll come home from work and I jump on the computer and look what items were up for review and say, oh, I want to do this. I want to review that. But then you go back and look and you realize, okay, the total amount of time it took for me, to get this, to take pictures of it and everything, was two hours.
Starting point is 00:08:47 I did that for a $15 item. Right. And you go, uh, but it's addicting because, you know, I got a full-time job, but I don't want to go home and do more of that. And this, this I'm getting stuff. And Christmas, Christmas 2017 was my kid's biggest Christmas ever. And I didn't pay for a dime of it. We had, we had, you know, little $60, $60 drones, little motorboats,
Starting point is 00:09:10 these 3D pens. I'm a big mountain biker. I've gotten, you know, winter mountain biking helmets. Why would you be a mountain biker living in the desert, Tim? Oh, because desert mountain biking is a lot of fun. Oh, okay, okay, no problem. That's another conversation. We can talk about that one next week.
Starting point is 00:09:29 So I'm really fascinated. So you're not doing it, you're just doing it for kicks then? Oh, yeah, yeah. Just for the, you know, my brother-in-law is like, look what I'm. I got on free online, and I'm like, how did you do that? And he got me introduced, and it's something any of you or your listeners can start doing. It takes a little while. If you go onto your Amazon, each of you have a rank, and it takes a while to get a good rank.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And as your rank goes up, you start interesting more reviewers, and then they start approaching you instead of you approaching them. But all you have to do is go on Facebook and search Amazon reviews, and there's a bazillion groups. And the people that need reviews just go on and post their stuff there. Say, hey, I'm looking for five people to review this. You hurry and immediately contact them if you want it. Message them.
Starting point is 00:10:24 They get your information. They also want to see your profile and see your number. That's why at the beginning I had to review a bunch of random crap. Right. Because they didn't want to give their good reviews to someone that wasn't tested. And so you agree to buy it. You purchase it. You show that you purchased it and send like a proof of purchase, like a screenshot.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Right. And then they will put money in your PayPal account. It's not just PayPal. It's not VMO or anything like that. It's just everything goes through PayPal? Everything goes through PayPal or WhatsApp. Oh, okay. So, and they like WhatsApp.
Starting point is 00:11:03 I didn't want to be on WhatsApp, so I said, no, we got to go through Facebook. But it kind of stinks because, in your feed on Facebook, you know, you'll be, you get all the random things from your friends, but now of a sudden you've got all these friends from overseas that are randomly, oh, that's nice, and this and that, the other, but, uh, and the only other downside I didn't like is a lot of adult products that people want reviews for. So, you know, you're in line of McDonald's and you're looking at someone's kids on your Facebook, and then all of a sudden, people are looking over your shoulder at all the items that, uh, that, uh,
Starting point is 00:11:43 that, uh, hey, those people need reviewing too, okay? Yeah, that's a person that's a person that likes to go there here and there. I expect those reviews to be there momentarily Tim from the desert. I tell you what, though, I don't know if I'd have the guts to review something like that. I don't want to be associated with that. Anyway, but yeah, I did get blogged. So I, about a year after getting blocked, my wife was so mad that she couldn't review stuff anymore, but I got blocked in about a year later. Oh, you were tag teaming this?
Starting point is 00:12:19 What's that? You were tag teaming? No, no. Oh, okay. No, she had nothing to do it. She had nothing to do with it, but her accounts associated with mine, that's why she was sick. And I understand. And that's what I talked about is that my wife definitely reviews stuff and reads the reviews of that, you know, for real.
Starting point is 00:12:34 and so, you know, it does play some sort of role in product purchases. And so I can understand that. I can understand how someone that you're married to might be unhappy with that. Ain't that the truth? It sounds like you've been married before. He's got more than once. I appreciate you calling on the 888-9033-number here on Chewing the Fat. Thank you, Tim from the Desert.
Starting point is 00:13:00 I think I'm going to get myself in trouble with this next story. Uh-oh. So I'm not real sure if I did do it or not. Let's take a poll. Jeff, should you do a story that may get you in trouble? Yes or no? Maybe. 100% yes.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Huh. Nobody's not even one and 0.1 that said maybe. What about the people behind you? Did they get to vote? No, they don't get to vote. Raise your hands. Oh, see, not everybody raised their hand. So there's a, there's a,
Starting point is 00:13:39 there's a race going on, all right, in Savannah, Georgia, a 10K race. And there's racers and they've got the streets turned down. And that's what they do. And every city has their races. And so the local TV stations send their reporters out to report on what a great race it is. It's for whatever charity that's a big deal in the town. And, you know, they should do live reports. And so this reporter.
Starting point is 00:14:09 who is working for the local television station, W-S-A-V-TV. Her name is Alex Mijorgian. I don't know what her name is. I don't know how to pronounce her last name, but she's going to be mad at me, and I apologize. Alex M-Garge. Nailed it, yeah, Bazaarjian.
Starting point is 00:14:27 That's what I said. Yeah, Bizargian. That's what I said, Alex Miorgian. Bazaargean. If you repeat me one more freaking time, man. I'm sorry. So she's reporting doing the live report. And the runners are running by her, right?
Starting point is 00:14:45 And they're running by and they're making all kinds of faces. And they're jumping up behind her. And they're throwing their hands in front of her. And they're screaming. And nobody, I don't think I heard anybody say that. No, I did. I did. I did.
Starting point is 00:14:59 And so one guy who we know his name is Tommy Calloway now. Uh-oh. Oh, no. What did Tommy Callowie do? Talloway comes up and slaps her on the end. we got some motivation. Is she at the finish line?
Starting point is 00:15:12 And she hugged them and say thank you for stopping my phone. Instead of just continuing on or saying, hey, I'll get you later. I'll get you later.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Hold on. So, Jeffrey, you're doing this on the streets. You get slapping the bus. Hey, I'll get you later because he's running by her. Right? She's doing a live report,
Starting point is 00:15:35 live shot on the bridge or wherever the hell road she's on. I'll get yours later. or, you know, that wasn't funny. People are excited, starting to slap me here on the streets back to the 10K raise. No wonder they send me here.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Or something, right? Make a deal. Instead. I feel like you're going to bug me done with facts right now. She's horrified. Why? Horrified. Be you raper?
Starting point is 00:16:03 She was hit on the rear from this guy. Okay, hit on the rear. so now the headline is Runner who slapped reporters but on live TV identified as youth minister Oh and Boy Scout leader Yeah This is him?
Starting point is 00:16:24 Yes He just needed a motivation He started looking at little kids So Now the world is it's over She she You know she looked at him horrified And she went back to the reporting
Starting point is 00:16:36 And it's just out of control. All right. So instead of, I'll get you later, or hey, people are trying to come up behind and slap me.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Let me move over to the right a little bit. I must be getting in the way. No, it's the end of time. So she goes on CBS's this morning, which is riveting. I mean, it's with Gail and the crew.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Oh, Gail, yeah. I don't even know the rest of the crew. his name, but Gail is, Gail is, you know. Rividing. Yes. Riving. Is that what you're looking for? That's what I'm looking for. Yes, I saw you're looking down on the computer. You're looking for words. I was like a riveting. Rividing. Riving, yeah. I'm trying to find who the other
Starting point is 00:17:20 dangleberries are CBS this morning. The guy, the one guy is Tony Dockapel? I mean, he's another tremendous riveting, CBS morning guy. And their headline, of course, is violated on live TV. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:42 So, you're right. So, Gail King, Anthony Mason, and Tony de Coupel. Who's the other guy? Anthony Mason. Anthony Mason. Yeah, okay. Rivening. I apologize for, I apologize for not knowing who you are, Anthony, and Tony, and barely

Starting point is 00:18:09 But you look every morning and you say, hey, I'm growing up to be. just like you, Gal King. I'm a Gail wannabe. Yes. I am. That's only because she's friends with GoPro. Anyway, the, uh, so, so, so, like lesbian. So she comes, what I like is money.
Starting point is 00:18:28 And if I have to, you know, pretend, oh, you, stop, nope, right, no, you're going to get in trouble for one story. Okay. We need you intro for two. So she goes on CBS this morning, and this is the first clip of her on CBS this morning. The question is, you know, there are people that have been writing, you showed me one of the emails we're saying look the guy was being rambunctious it's not a big deal
Starting point is 00:18:47 you're being a brat get over it so what like what's the reaction to that thank you well I would say thank you and we're going to go through the thread of the one tweet amazing maybe 10 years ago that was a more common thing in the culture
Starting point is 00:19:02 but it's not okay now it's not okay to help yourself to a woman's body just because you feel like it it's not playful he hurt me both physically and emotionally. Shut up. And I think in order to make any kind of change,
Starting point is 00:19:19 you have to be a little bit drastic and you have to kind of chip away. Okay, can we stop this for just a second? She is a reporter for WSAL TV, right? That's the TV station. Hold on, I'm going to go back to the story. It's WSAL TV. Can we start this from the beginning?
Starting point is 00:19:37 Don't look at me. Don't shrug your shoulders like that. We're going to start this in the beginning. Now, she is a professional television reporter. That's what she professes to be. And she's doing live shots from the weekend 10K race
Starting point is 00:19:50 for WSAL TV. Hey, I'm out here at the 10K race. Oh, somebody slapped my butt. I'm horrified. And you, you're horrified. The question is, you know, there are people that have been writing to you, show me one of the emails.
Starting point is 00:20:05 We're saying, look, we're going to count how many umbs, she says. So what's the reaction to that? So get ready to stop it for a second. I would say that maybe 10 years ago that was a more common thing in the culture. But it's not okay now. It's not okay to help yourself to a woman's body just because you feel like it. It's not playful.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Four. Five. Both physically and emotionally. Six. And I think in order to make any kind of change, you have to be a little bit drastic. And you have to chip away at this toxic culture that, for me, it's our society. You filed a police report. Do you plan on pressing charge?
Starting point is 00:20:44 At this point, not totally at liberty to say to go into that. I'm just hoping that police can do their job. 12. kind of leaving it in their hands at this point. 13. But I did make that first step. It's a line in the sand moment, it sounds like, for you. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Thank you, Alex. Okay, so in that short clip of what, a minute? Yes, one minute. 13 ums? She's nervous. She's a national TV. She's a millennial. So we use um,
Starting point is 00:21:12 13. We have a second clip of her talking about how how this really affected her. That first clip that was off air. That first clip was off air. That was them on their cell phone. That was off air. The second clip that you're
Starting point is 00:21:28 going to play is from on air. What happened? On air. Okay. All right. Runner's lawyer sent a statement saying they regret the situation. But he, quote, did not act with any criminal intentions. that he's a loving husband and father and they don't expect any criminal charges.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Thank you. Are you open to hearing what he has to say? One. I think, um, two. What is most important here is that he took my power and I'm trying to take that back. Oh, shut up. And, um, shut up. Four.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Whether I am open to it or not. Um, six. I want to take my time with that. Seven. And, um, eight. I think what it really comes down to is that he, helped himself to a part of my body. I think took my power as a really powerful phrase.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Okay, so off the air was 13. On air was what, eight or nine? Eight or nine on a 40 second clip. 42 second clip. Yeah, she made it to a minute. We had gotten to 13. I'm sorry, but I've not heard her comment until now. What the hell?
Starting point is 00:22:35 I know. Okay, so I'll stop counting the ums because it just drives me insane. but let's listen to what she has to say about getting hit in the butt one time at a 10K race over the weekend. Runner's lawyer, a statement saying they regret the situation, but he, quote, did not act with any criminal intentions that he's a loving husband and father and they don't expect any criminal charges. Are you open to hearing what he has to say? I can't. I think what is. most important here is that he took my power and I'm trying to take that back.
Starting point is 00:23:16 No, you gave it to him. You gave him your power. By highlighting what happened. All you had to do was ignore or, ha ha, I'll get you at the end. And that was it. You still had the power. You were still in charge. You get.
Starting point is 00:23:35 I bet you everybody that watched this on that WSA something, they did not think, oh, Oh my God, look at that. He stole her power. The three people watching your 10K report at WSAL or V or whatever the hell you're television. Let's say it's a WSAV right in Georgia or wherever that. Yes, WSAV3 on your side, Savannah, Georgia slash Hilton Head, South Carolina. Um, sorry.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Okay, go ahead. Let's see what you had to say. Let's finish what you had to say. No, I can't. I can't. I don't want to. All right. going through the thread.
Starting point is 00:24:11 By the way, she's a proud Latina and lover of travel, deep thinker, and sodiak consular, raised in Salem, Massachusetts. Really? Yeah. Huh. Because that's not really what I got from her, but, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:24:26 She's a TV reporter and close enthusiast. Wait, she's a close enthusiast. Yes. So she appreciates making herself look good in clothes. Yes. for who? I'm just what's wondering. Would it be okay?
Starting point is 00:24:44 We saw, we saw, not long ago we saw the female rubber fingers through the sports guy's hair on TV. I guess that's okay. Nothing happened there. She didn't take his power. But this guy runs by and slaps you on the rear. And look, I get it. I barely get it that he shouldn't be slapping you on the rear like that.
Starting point is 00:25:09 But it was in the heat of the moment. They're running a 10K race. People are running by, yelling and screaming. You're doing a live shot. And he's just coming by. And I'm sorry. Even if it was, for me, if I'm that guy, I wouldn't have cared if it was a man or a woman.
Starting point is 00:25:25 I still would have went by and slammed him on the rear. I'm sorry, Jeff. You see a butt in the streets. What are you supposed to do? Ignore it? I mean, my first answer would be no. Welcome to chewing the fat and joining us today. is Ashley St. Clair.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Now, Ashley, you were a little bit a part of our story yesterday as we talked a little bit about fat shaming and the BMI chart that got Chris and I started because, look, I know I'm on the obese end. I get it. I'm on that end. But I'm not trying to walk my way down the red carpet. I'm not trying to tell people it's okay to be, well, overweight. I'm just saying that I am athletically.
Starting point is 00:26:17 overweight. But I saw your video on your response to Lizzo and her dance, her excited dance at the Lakers game the other night caught on Jumbotron and she was busy
Starting point is 00:26:33 twerking. And if you don't, if you haven't seen Lizzo before, don't worry, you can't miss her. She'll point herself out to you. She's the one that you see her big butt wide open at the Lakers game. I know. I Jeffie. I know. What? I know. And Ashley was. Yes, it was. Yes, it was. You were a little,
Starting point is 00:26:55 a little disappointed, a little unhappy. I was. I was disappointed because what Lizzo did, having her hole behind, and that's not an exaggeration. She was only in a song at a basketball game where there's children and families attending was wildly inappropriate. She had no remorse. Imagine being a parent at that game and just trying to watch basketball with your kid and having to shield your eyes from you witho, it's working in a thaw. And she definitely has no remorse. I mean, she's responded now to you and other haters that you can kiss her big butt. Big, yeah, but.
Starting point is 00:27:33 And it used in other terms, though. She used other terms. And so she is not, she's saying you're just a haters, you're fat shaming, you're racist, people should believe in who they are and be who they are, which I believe. I believe people should be who they are. I don't believe that you should make me, it should be okay to be, look, I get it, all right?
Starting point is 00:28:00 I'm fat. I'm overweight, athletically overweight, by the way, Ashley. I'm not really, I'm not, according to the charts, okay, I'm obese, but really there should be an extra, an extra lane in the BMI chart. athletically overweight because some people are just fat and some people are athletically overweight. I know you are not. So, I mean... No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:28:25 So I think it makes them a little angrier when I criticize them. Right. It most definitely does. And... But she got away with this because of her size. Because she's so large and people are so scared to say something. Jillian Michael's world-renowned fitness trainer who was on NBC's weight loss show, biggest loser. She's in hot water because she said, we're glamorizing obesity and we're politically correct to a point of endangering people.
Starting point is 00:28:54 And she's absolutely right. Absolutely. We're bowing down, right? I mean, we're forced to have the overweight on every model show doing the runway. We're on all the Sports Illustrated swimwears, on all the lingeres, on all the lingerie. Juree models. We're forced to see it. Vittur's Secret, Jeffi.

Starting point is 00:29:43 And we're all supposed to be okay with it because it's shaming other people's lives and it's your fat shaming. Well, yeah, we kind of are a little. And I'm not saying that it's not, you know, good for you. And you should be happy with who you are. But my kids don't need to see, you know, your fat butt twerking at a Lakers game, making it okay.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Right? I mean, just... Absolutely. Absolutely. And not only that, I feel like it's just this error of people not taking personal responsibility. And you see that in everything, from the policies that the left pushes to the things that they're outraged about it, because they don't want to take responsibility for their action. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:30:28 You are absolutely correct. And it's always just okay. Everything is fine. And we're supposed to be okay with it. That's why, you know, I've said, Never been to need to the rage mob ever. Dana Lash. Yeah, okay.

Starting point is 00:31:01 Especially, you know, the left-wind media, their response to this was calling everyone who said something to her racist and fat-shamers. So I say we keep fat shaming her.

Starting point is 00:34:51 finances always bring down all these people. He amassed this personal fortune, moved to the U.S. To get out of Mexico. Yeah, he's supposed to be, he should have been smarter than coming to the U.S. You don't go to the U.S. You skip you as you go to Canada. Or he comes to the U.S. and says, you know what? Look at the time.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Oh, man, I wish. Joaquina Chibaldo Guzman Loera, do you know who that is? No? No, but he does, so that's the point. Adios amigos. Now, the former DAA chief said, I don't know. I worked closely with him. I never saw any issue of corruption.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Maybe we should look into your finances, Mike. But whatever we needed, he provided without question. Well, yeah, that's how he would do it.

Starting point is 00:38:26 we need to re-up the contract no question so those of you that caught the chewing the fat segment on pat this morning you know Wednesday chewing the fat segment on pat you saw that I did the story about the pigeons in Las Vegas that have the cowboy hats on them and I really am really bummed that I'm not the person doing that I seriously want I really bummed. So how do they get it? Do the other tranquilizing like pigeons?
Starting point is 00:38:51 Just grab the no the pigeons. What are you talking about? You can't go up to a pigeon just grab them. That is. Oh, you sure can.
Starting point is 00:38:58 That's how you. Chris. Jeffie. You ever seen carrier pigeons and pigeons? That's what they do. You grab them. You put a little thing
Starting point is 00:39:08 and they put it off. They know they have to point A to point B and that's all they know. They're not out there grabbing And the Vegas pigeons know they have to be out there. Show pigeons. It's Vegas.
Starting point is 00:39:20 You grab them, you put a little hat out of them, and off they go. I mean, that's what they're doing. Show pigeons in Vegas. Maybe that's the deal. Is there a new show in town? I think someone said that the rodeo was in town. That's what I thought. But I don't.
Starting point is 00:39:34 I feel like. That's a pretty cool idea. I feel like it would have been maybe. What's maybe? What do you mean? I feel like if it's the rodeo, then. Okay, maybe if it's the rodeo, then next year it's got to be the same thing, right?
Starting point is 00:39:47 If the cowboy has just go away. It was a one-time thing. It had nothing to the vote. No, if the cowboy has just go away. And then next year when the rodeos in town, they come back with the hats on. Then it was that. Yeah, we started the tradition of,
Starting point is 00:40:00 oh, when the pigeons have cowboy hats on, the rodeos in town. Well, shouldn't they be wearing... Maybe we do that in every city now. Wherever the rodeo goes, the pigeons have cowboy hats. How about Santa hats? I like that.
Starting point is 00:40:11 So can we just put Santa hats on the little? like that idea. We should be doing that here. Yes. And since you seem to be the expert on how to grab a damn pigeon, so go out there and go. I don't want to get caught. I mean, PETA and the rest of those dinkleberries,
Starting point is 00:40:26 they're going to make people pay for that. Like the animal advocacy organization where their slogan is a pigeon positive movement, they're going to be pissed. And then they're going to get a hold a PETA, and you're going to have PETA and you're going to have the animal advocacy organization. that has the a pigeon positive movement slogan, they're going to want people to pay for it because I have a feeling
Starting point is 00:40:50 that they're not just pinned on the pigeon because those hats had to stay, so you've got to super glue those bad boys. And they're first, they're just pigeons who gives a crap about a pigeon. Flying rats. All, all. I thought you New Yorkers call them like flying rats.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Well, they are sky rats. Oh, sky rats. But seagulls are sky rats. Seagulls are sky rats too in Florida. Ooh. Seagulls are serious sky rats, man. They take food right out of your hands. They'll fly down and take it right out of your hand.
Starting point is 00:41:23 No problem. They're balsy too. The Florida are the balsy. Is that what I just said? I feel like today we're not like. Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. So Christmas is obviously just around the corner. Boy, it doesn't feel like Christmas is just around the corner to me.
Starting point is 00:41:43 I feel like. a brand new home. You should feel like Christmas is around the corner. I don't. I'm completely... Are you all decked down? Because I know you guys go out. My wife is... My wife is... Oh, yeah, I did see her video saying she's not feeling the Christmas series. So I caught her catching... We talked a little bit
Starting point is 00:41:58 about it on Patty even this morning. I caught her catching a little hallmark movies. Oh, there we go. Yeah. I know she's trying. She's going to jumpstarted. But it's not... I don't think it's happening. If people are listening live, it's only the 11th, you have like 23 days. I know. I don't think it's happening. I know, but it takes...
Starting point is 00:42:14 some doing with the amount of Christmas merchandise that my wife has purchased. Acquired. Oh, acquired. That, uh, she was at the, uh, she was at the favorite, her favorite store. Oh, she's out a first name basis with the Hallmark people. Yes. Trust me.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Yeah, so like. The Hallmark Christmas people are like, hey Amber. We've got this stuff. We've got stuff that's coming in on this date. Um, so just order now and we'll have it behind the desk for you, okay? I mean, no, no, don't worry about it. More Christmas fears than that.
Starting point is 00:42:45 So, right. And then, the one lady actually did. This is a fact, you know, there's going to be a bunch of stuff that we're discontinuing. That's going to be up front when we open the store on Saturday. Inside a trading. Hold on, Jeffrey. Calm down there. I think that's illegal.
Starting point is 00:43:02 It is? Yeah, because that's called insider trading. It didn't happen. Nevermind, I don't know what I'm talking about. I have no idea what I'm talking about. But there's a new study now that is talking about gift. wrapping and I don't know if you're a good gift rapper but I am oh I'm the best I if I if I spend time at it I'm good but a lot of times I don't care enough how's just oh shut up
Starting point is 00:43:27 it's just it's a present it's about the present it's not about the wrapping paper it's about the wrapping paper the ribbon the little note you put on top nope the confetti maybe it's confetti in there or some like bubble wrap or some what the hell nope however New study said it also examines how your relationship with the gift giver can affect your perception of the present. Oh, yeah, of course. If you receive a messily wrapped gift from a loved one, you get all the positive feelings and appreciate their effort rather than focusing on what's inside. On the other hand, if you get the gift that's perfectly wrapped, looks like Martha did it. Martha.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Martha Stewart. Oh, okay. then you open it up and it's like just a boogie gift nobody cares. No, that's the one that I want to open. That's the one that feel I know, but the gift is bougie. I want a boogie gift. No, you don't. I want the diamond earrings.
Starting point is 00:44:24 The diamond earrings are not bougie. What is boogie then? I don't know. Let's say you get a messy present and it's diamond earrings. Do you care about being messy rap? Yes, I do. No, you do not. You're happy with the diamond earrings. Let's say you get a perfectly Martha Stewart wrapped president and it's a popcorn popper. Right. Thank you. Thank you. So it's just prove your point. It's more about the gift. Yes, you did. Damn. Okay, so it's inappropriate. I get that. But if she's doing a live shot,
Starting point is 00:45:08 um, for WSAV TV in Georgia, um, and, uh. And you're talking about Alex Posadian, right? Right. And the guy comes running, and she even said in one of the interviews, you can see him go out of his way and wind up. No baby. Did he go out of his way? No baby. He was running with the rest of the crowd. Even all the people were going, you can technically say all the people that were putting their hands in front of her face and screaming behind her. They were going out of their way too because there was a live shot in the camera right there. They were all being silly. And so he just came up and whacked her on the rear.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Now, I'm going to agree with Alex. Bosatia. Of course you are. Because he took power away. I didn't say that it wasn't inappropriate. I did say that, you know, I get it. You're not supposed to do it. But is it a criminal offense?
Starting point is 00:45:58 It is assault. Did you? No, it is not a assault. Jeff Fisher. It is not a assault. He slapped her on the butt. It's still an assault. I'm with Alex Bosatian.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Of course you are. Um, that person, that Boy Scout and Youth Minister is guilty of assaulting a female person. You tell me that's not an assault. That's what's wrong with America. No, no, seriously. That's what's wrong with America today. It is not assault.
Starting point is 00:46:31 It is an assault. No, it is not. It is not. You've got to give me that. Maybe. First of all, no, I don't have to give you crap. Be clear about that right now. But second, I will say I'll give you this.
Starting point is 00:46:43 I'll give you this. In today's world, it's assault. And today, the world that we live in today, it's assault. In real life, it's not assault. I'm sorry. You walk by and slap somebody on the rear. Male or female, not assault. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Not giving it to you. The dictionary definition of assault make a physical attack on. Attack. If I slap you on the ass, it's not an attack. A concern attempt to do something damning. Did you read that again, please? I didn't quite understand the first time. No, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:47:22 He literally physically attacked her with that hand. We're done. No, he did. No, he did not. You are out of your mind. You're going back to working at the gate as the police officer at the gate now, with your little MP sticker on. In many states, shoving or slapping someone doing an argument
Starting point is 00:47:42 will be classified as a simple assault. In addition, a threat of doing some minor act of violence, such as punching someone. A guy is running in a race. It's constituted as simple assault. The guy's running in the race. He's running by. He's out.
Starting point is 00:47:57 There's a live shot going on. He wax her on the rear. So you can see on that one, on that's manager on. So he just slapped someone during a live shot. Simple assault. That's ridiculous. We are doomed. What kind of world do we live in?
Starting point is 00:48:17 Seriously. What kind of world do we live in when you can't even just run by a female and whack her on the butt? I mean, we're doomed It doesn't have to be a female Remember I said it could be female or male Doesn't matter We're doomed if you can't walk by people And do that really, it's the end of time
