Starting point is 00:00:00 And now a Blaze Media podcast. Welcome to it. That's right. Broadcasting live from the COVID-19 quarantine bunker, CQB, baby, chewing the fat. Thanks for coming along for the ride today. And I'm not starting any show from the CQB without giving a shout out to all the truckers out there. Bless your hearts. Keep the horns going.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Keep the wheels rolling. Keep the goods coming. I love you for that. Thank you. And I wish I... Do you have a sound effect out of your little sound effect machine? Just a... That really doesn't sound like a semi.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Nope. That one doesn't work either. Happy St. Patrick's Day. Man, remember when you used to be able to go out and just be with a bunch of people, elbow to elbow in a bar, drink and party and have fun with the... Yeah, you know, you're not getting those days back. Those days are long gone.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Don't even think about it. And you know what else is kind of weird? I was looking at, I love the estates that are for sale. Like the Kelvin Klein co-founder has got his Westchester County estate up for sale for just $100 million. But I'm guessing it was going to take a little while to sell that bad boy right now. I don't know if anybody, you know, I guess it might be time. If you had 100 million laying around, who doesn't? Who among us?
Starting point is 00:01:53 Doesn't have 100 million laying around. But it's 740 acres. Not a bad spread. 40 stall barn, 2.24 stall barns. Turf racetrack, riding trails. It sounds like a pretty nice place. They bought it in 1979. Wow.
Starting point is 00:02:14 for $3.25 million. And they want $100 million for it today. Okay. 24,000 square feet, eight bedrooms, two-story library, 2,200 bottle wine cellar, Japanese-style gardens,
Starting point is 00:02:42 butterfly garden, who doesn't want a butterfly garden, 4,000 square foot building that houses a 60-foot pool with a spa, a gym, and a sauna. Now is the time. Now is the time, my friend. Now is the time. Now, I wonder if he's able to survive.
Starting point is 00:03:00 He's probably got it for sale because he's running short on cash. You know how he's not going to sell it? You know why he's not going to sell it? Why? I bet you he hasn't called real estate agents of trust.com. He absolutely has not, man. He's going to sit there for a long time because all they're going to do is put some balloons, play some music, some Irish music,
Starting point is 00:03:19 because it's some Paddy's Day, and that's all they're going to do. They're going to be like, Olly! Hey! Right, because Christy's international real estate, they don't know how to sell houses. No, they don't.
Starting point is 00:03:33 They don't. Stupid. They need real estate agentsiderust.com. And don't bug me down with facts if you have any facts about this agency because I don't care. I just leave it at the name. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Sorry. I'll leave it up today. We're all good. Okay, so I just want you to know that I have, I think, since I'm in kind of a, you know, self-quarantine time here during the COVID-19 outbreak around the world, I just wanted to know that I think I'm doing it wrong. What do you mean? Well, when I come up to record the show in the, in the bunker, you know, the room above the garage. I was just so hungry. Yeah, yeah, okay, let's talk about that. I'm just so hungry like I haven't eaten. This is day two of us recording from the bunker.
Starting point is 00:04:25 And somehow, you are the only one in America doing it wrong. And by doing it wrong, I mean that you say, oh, I'm hungry. And I'm looking at you. I'm like, wait, aren't you at the house? I'm so hungry. Like, go keep something. Like, do you know me to give me some snack? Like, I've been up at the regular time.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Like, I've been listening. I'm going through my same routine. I'm going through everything. I'm doing everything I normally do. I'm showering, which you don't have to do, by the way. By the way, that's another thing I'm doing wrong. Why am I showering? Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:04:59 And you said that. I was like, wait, I haven't showered since, like, Friday. Like, I don't need to shower. Like, I'm not coming out of the house. Why am I shaving? What am I doing? And I'm forgetting to eat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Because you know why? No, there's no food. Oh, there's no food. No food. We're out of food. Oh, no. Oh, no. So sad. So sad. That is sad, by the way. That is sad. That things may have to go soon. I don't know how much more.
Starting point is 00:05:34 All I'm saying is that Jeff Fisher, out of everybody, like, at least at your desk, you should have some snacks. Look at that. I got some candy. Some candy. You know, I got... Right, for those of you watching live? Yeah, watching live. I got some candy. And if I get really, really hungry, I just go right there. I'm pointed at it. I could go to a popcorn machine maker that I have back there with popcorn.
Starting point is 00:05:56 I don't hear it popping, bro. Well, it's not popping because I already have the popcorn. You know, like I said, I'm all prepared. Like, I'm home. And then later, the wife's going to bring me up a sandwich. And then I got my liquids to drink. And if I have to go to the bathroom, I just drink this whole glass and then fill it up. And then call the wife and be like, hey, you have a little coffee.
Starting point is 00:06:18 I have a little water. I have my Coke zero, but... No food. I keep forgetting to eat. At 800 pounds, I know that comes as a surprise that I'm forgetting to eat. But I should just say I'm postponing eating. I'm not forgetting to eat. I'm just postponing it.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Like, ah, I get something to eat there. I get something to eat later. Yeah, but the next thing you know is nighttime. And what did you eat today? Nothing. I don't believe I've ever said that. I don't think I've ever said that. It's just that I should be not eating 8,000 calories at 10 o'clock at night.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Yeah, exactly. You should not be trying to catch up. You're not supposed to be playing ketchup at the end of the night. Oh, crap, I forgot to eat. How many calories for a male? I was so hungry. No, you don't do that. I know.
Starting point is 00:07:07 It's a big mistake, huge mistake. We have so much stuff today. I thank you so much for chewing the fat. Look, I'm going to, we've got, you know, regular stories for you that are fun and, you know, I want to do that. Appreciate all the kind words. Those of you emailing, chewing the fat at the blaze.com or commenting on Jeff Fisher Radio's Facebook page. Thank you so much for the kind words. And I, you know, I really do absolutely, you know, want to make you smile because it's appearing more and more that there's less and less to actually smile about.
Starting point is 00:07:45 But there is good news out there. But don't panic, though. There is good news. You can't panic. I don't want you to panic. No, I'm not. No, don't panic. Like I'm telling, do not panic like the world is ended, but do not panic.
Starting point is 00:07:57 It's okay. Take your money out of the stock market, but don't panic. I'm telling you, don't panic. Don't panic. The good thing on that is that I did take my money out of the stock market. Because you don't have any money in the stock market. It was like 10, 12, 15 years ago, 20. years ago. So I'm good.
Starting point is 00:08:18 So you ahead of the curve. You're ahead of the curve. Way ahead of the curve. Yes, we'll reach out for you. Way ahead of the curve. Good job. Good job. So we've talked quite a bit about in the last couple weeks the parents that weren't going to give their children money. You know, we talked about Marie Osmond saying that she wasn't going to give her kids any of the money. They're going to, you know, they don't get any of the cash that she has. We talked about Steve Jobs.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Uh, former wife who said, uh, I'm only worth 27 billion. My kids aren't getting anything. Okay. All right. Thank you. Appreciate it. But a Chinese couple, uh, broke the mold. Uh, they broke the mold. They're 24 year old, uh, just got a little gift from mom and dad. $3.8 billion. You are not kidding. They're transferring about a fifth of their company's share capital to son Eric. No doubt. I don't know what I'm going to do with my life. I'm struggling.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Oh, here, here's $3.8 billion, son. Dude, three point. Come on. So they founded... Do we know what they make, how they make all that money? Yes, a bio-pharmaceutical company. Oh, big pharma.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Yes, out of China. Big pharma out of China. So they created a coronavirus. I hope they have I hope they've actually going to take a little bit of the billions and make a vaccine. I don't want a vaccine from China? I don't care where the vaccine comes from.
Starting point is 00:10:03 No, no, no, no. I'm drawing the line. I prefer to die before I get vaccinated. What? A Chinese cure. No way. Oh, yes, way, sir. No way.
Starting point is 00:10:16 I mean, obviously, obviously. America's going to do it first. Yes, thank you. We're on it. I mean, even Israel may be pushing, but Israel's just pushing our scientists to get there first. Absolutely. But if China says, hey, we've got a vaccine.
Starting point is 00:10:32 You know you're taking it. I'm not taking it. I'm not taking it. Yes, you are. They gave me the Wuhan virus. Why am I going to take the vaccination? Because they're going to get taken away. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:10:43 How do I trust that? What if it's not something, what if the vaccine has like something inside that they turn on over there, boom, I'm dead? well what if what if we can ask that question forever what if what if that happens from the american vaccine no americans don't kill americans right all right before we get to COVID-19 coronavirus update we've got good news and bad news and corona crime we're going to get all to it a ton of stuff i got i've got it broken up now i've got i've got corona updates i've got Corona.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Wait, actually, I'll just read you the update. I've got the Corona Daily Update. Then you roll down, you got Corona good news. Good news. Corona bad news. Corona crime. It was my three. It was like Corona file.
Starting point is 00:11:39 All good stuff. All good stuff. No question about it. But before we get to that, I read a story. And I'm wondering, A, why it never happens when I'm on an airplane. And it's never going to happen again because nobody's flying on a plane anymore. I'll tell you that.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I mean, the airlines are getting ready to, I mean, I'm, yeah, I mean, the airports are going to be for the homeless because there ain't anybody else going to be there. I'll tell you that. The homeless knew all the time, Fisher. They knew. They were out of the curve. They were like, we're going to be here.
Starting point is 00:12:17 We're going to be king of the airports. And I'm spot they were they were scoping out their space already now this is my space right here by the bathroom with the plug bro Yep and I'm in the you could be a line's terminal not not E terminal not E I'm in the A terminal Thank you. Those terminals full get out. Bye See you later. This was ours So the story is as a there's a couple on a plane and they're fighting and So a guy is live tweeting the fight on the air line. And I'm thinking, oh, that's great.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Why doesn't that happen when I'm flying? So make the time fly, be better than watching some stupid movie. And, you know, the guy, I just can't stand you. I can't be near you. I would switch seats if I could. Oh, my gosh. Do I want that to happen when I'm on the? plane. So the this person tweets this guy in the plane just broke up with this girlfriend and
Starting point is 00:13:24 she's sobbing. No. Guy is this really a I'm sorry he broke up with her on the airplane? Yeah. Yeah. So so the guy is this really a surprise? Are you seriously surprised at this information? Girl great just great. I'm so glad I paid four. extra dollars to be on this flight with you. I know. Guy, I don't care. I don't care that you care.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Then it goes on. Girl, it's just so mean. Do I deserve this? Why are you bringing this up? I don't want to be this girl. I don't want to be her. I want to be my best for you. and you won't let me.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Now, this is all the person tweeting the fight going on on the plane, right? So it goes on to, they go back and forth and it says, is that what you're starting to do with me? Just slow fade me out, just like the others. Oh. I know. And it continues on, girl, you don't even understand why I'm effing sad. You hate everything about me.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Now, if I have the guy at this point, I'm like, yeah, you're right. Just sit back and zip it. But seriously, is the airplane the best area to break up with a girl? You're 30,000 feet. You can't do anything other than to listen or complain and bitch about, you don't know what? How old? How do you?
Starting point is 00:15:13 At least wait as you're exiting the airplane. Hey, by the way, it's over. All right. Guy, you need to calm down. Oh, no. I've learned not to say that to girls. Girl. I just really thought, you know, this was going to go somewhere.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Did you? Did you? Did you really think it was going to go somewhere? I'm going to ask Charlotte. I'm going to ask her the minute we get home and we'll see if your story's match. Okay. Well, and it goes on and the fight continues on through the whole flight and they're going back and forth. Good question.
Starting point is 00:15:55 All right. The question is a couple of things out of this story. Is that the perfect place? Just like you said, if you're flying with someone, your girlfriend, in quotation marks, and you're on the flight together, I mean, it's probably if you're going to break up, it might be the best place. She can't go anywhere. And you're just sitting there saying, you know what? I am so done with you. Yeah, but then you have this.
Starting point is 00:16:21 It's an entire episode of the Seinfeld. This happened on Seinfeld. And that's next in line of my questions. Is it real? I don't think it's real. True. Because that's literally what Elaine and her boyfriend
Starting point is 00:16:37 just got in a plane from Europe. They're going to New York and she breaks out with him. And then he starts flirting with the waitress people up there. And then we're back together. We're back together. We're back together.
Starting point is 00:16:52 You know, the servers. Yeah, the wait for people. Yeah. The girls that do the job. I know. I know. Which leads me to think that it's not real, right? It's just a, it's the person tweeting it.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Is this being funny? Trying to be funny. Trying to pass the time doing a, you know, recreating a television episode. Or is the person who wrote the story here. online is just made it up. Yeah, he could be at home tweeting saying, I'm in this flight.
Starting point is 00:17:25 That'd be kind of cool. That's smart though, because everybody loves a good gossip and that is some world of a gossip right there. Oh my goodness. You're watching that thread, right? You're watching that from now on your
Starting point is 00:17:41 you're on the thread. And by the way, that would never happen in one of my flights. You want to know why? No. I mean, yes, Chris, I sure do. Why? Because Spirit doesn't have internet in their airplanes, so I would not be able to live tweet the fight. Well, sure, but you could live tweet it.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Just as soon as you landed, you'd get internet, and everything would load. Exactly, but still, though, still, it's not worth it. You have 8,000 tweets in your drafts. going back to live tweeting it's a wait they know no internet at all no there's no internet on spare flights they don't like you don't spend the extra
Starting point is 00:18:30 $85,000 and you have internet no their plates are not equipped with any any Wi-Fi connection no wonder the homeless people don't even want to go down to their terminal man
Starting point is 00:18:43 because we don't have Wi-Fi Dude, and by the way, serious note, serious no, you all might be hitting on spirit right now, but if you want plane tickets, get them right now. Round trip from DFW to Puerto Rico,
Starting point is 00:19:02 Fisher, 80 bucks. 80 bucks. Okay, that's great. As you know what happens, that 80 bucks with that round trip airline shuts down? Well,
Starting point is 00:19:15 they're getting ripped on. because they're going to get bailed out by the government. You're not going to refund. They're not getting a refund. That's gone, bro. They better give me that equivalent of vouchers to get another ticket. I will do that. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:19:29 If we still had an airline, you'd get those vouchers, but we don't. So, bye. I mean, look, are these companies, look, this part of my coronavirus, you know, good, bad, and the ugly. actually that should be the my coronavirus update the good, bad and the ugly because what is going to happen? I mean, you're talking about
Starting point is 00:19:55 more than two weeks of shutting damn near shuttering businesses. And the president said that this could be all up to July and August. He just said that yesterday. I have plans. Fisher, I have an aircraft to catch on April.
Starting point is 00:20:14 I look at them. First of all, not anymore. Second. Don't bug me with that. I'm home and I'm carrying. I would shoot you through this damn computer. Just pull the plug on that bad boy. Just don't even just pull out the little notepad and scratch it off. Already on the two deals.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Wish I could have got to that, but no. Sorry. Now, I got a Facebook post from a guy who works. at a state park. Okay. And he works and he's like one of the three or four people that are allowed in the state park.
Starting point is 00:20:52 In the park now, right? Because the park is closed. Wait. I can't go, I can't pitch a tent in a state freaking park away from school. Well, in Georgia. Shut down. We talked about it. In Georgia, I think it was,
Starting point is 00:21:06 I don't know if I talked with you or with Pat when we did the breaking news on the radio. But in Georgia, this guy, they told him, hey, you have to quarantine yourself because you have the coronavirus. He's like, I don't have nowhere to go. And the state put him on the state park. Right. I remember that story.
Starting point is 00:21:27 I don't know why you were telling Pat. Oh, because me and Pat broke on Friday. We interrupted the programming to talk about Trump, national emergency. So it's just me and Pat broadcasting for an hour. Oh, is that special? Yeah, it was. It was very special. Me and Pat Bonded pretty good. Isn't that special?
Starting point is 00:21:49 And Jason? Yeah, Jason was there too. It was me, Pat Jason. Oh. And that special. I'm just glad it went well. Yeah, it wasn't really good. Glad it went well.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Maybe you should listen to the Blaze Radio Network. Did you, uh, well, on Friday I had the old app. It's cut out on. I've got the new app now. I'm listening all the time. It's not cutting out. That was kind of fun. I'm sure you got a chewing the fat, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:17 mentioned in and promoted the show. That's what I thought. I'll go to the break room. I mean, even in the bunker you have to have Coke Zero, no sugar. Hello? Or, you know, zero sugar.
Starting point is 00:22:45 What'll call it Coke Zero. I got to get a refrigerator up here. Well, yeah, we're going to be here. Upstairs. We're going to be here until July. So start getting comfortable. I know. You're going to lose weight.
Starting point is 00:23:06 You're going to lose weight because you forget to eat when you're home. I guarantee that rule will not be a rule probably like, I don't know, tomorrow. So it'll be fine. I'll just be safe. I'll have to talk between bites. So we're in the break room. We might as well, before we get to the good, the bad and the ugly on the COVID-19, the coronavirus. Harvey Weinstein, going back to Rikers.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Very sad. Hello? Do we have actual, is that live audio from Rikers? Whoa, hey, bless you. Harvey, take it easy. If Harvey does that at Rikers, right, they ship it back. That's what he needs to do, man. Sneeze and fall.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Sneeze and fall. That's what Harvey needs to do, man. You sneeze and fall, you're back to the hospital. I mean, good. Right? If the hospital start getting overloaded in New York, man, I mean, Harvey's doomed. Did you see Brazil? What just happened in Brazil?
Starting point is 00:24:07 Yes. All these prisoners are let go. Yeah. Because of the coronavirus. And they're like just running down the street. And by the way, if we have any Brazil listeners, which we do, uncle and the best friend from the corner they're coming because they just got out of prison I know and they're doing it here they are we'll get to it in the in our you know so I didn't
Starting point is 00:24:33 mean to get ahead of us I didn't get to I didn't mean to get ahead of the game I know it's fine but I'm just saying they're doing it here I mean we're letting prisoners out what are we doing I don't know by the way that's I can't remember if that's under the bad Corona update file or the crime Corona update file, but it definitely isn't under the good coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I think it's under the ugly coronavirus. Very well good, man. That's where I changed a good, bad, and ugly. Yeah. I mean, holy cow. And then whatever,
Starting point is 00:25:08 I've been seeing videos across, every time I open up one of my feeds, people are sending me the monkeys video. Yes. Crazy.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Yes. The favorite one is the one that I posted of the monkey sticking whatever that white thing is. That's my favorite one. Because one, I think it's like either is bread, like, you know, uncooked dough, or it's just big marshmallows, which I don't think that country has marshmallows. So I'm going to go with dough. Yeah, just go with dough.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Because if they're marshmallows, why are we giving those to monkeys? Thank you. Thank you. I don't see little monkey bob over there doing s'mores. No, thank you. So point of that video was is that they're only taken one or two, right? Yes. They're not deep pocket in three.
Starting point is 00:25:58 The thing is is that monkeys really don't have deep pockets. So. Can I quote you on that please, sir. So only can take one or two. That's what they, it's all they could do. In fact, several of them come up and take one and they grab another one. So they do kind to do what humans would do. Kind of.
Starting point is 00:26:19 But they're going crazy, right? because there's no tourists. Yeah, to feed them. He's out of the streets, leaving crumbs and dropping waste all over the place, so the monkeys are like, we got to find something, man.
Starting point is 00:26:31 So they are attacking everybody. Last week you talked about, you know, movies that this pandemic could mimic. Seeing those videos with those monkeys, that gang of monkeys. I know. I think we might be wrong.
Starting point is 00:26:45 It's not contagion. It's freaking rise of the apes. it could be some of the videos show like the motorcycle guy running through I would now would be going the other way on a motorcycle man they could overrun you fast and I'm sorry again if you have a monkeys
Starting point is 00:27:02 problem in your streets this is why you don't have airports we can't trust you with airports if you could barely trust you with monkeys we can't trust you with airports like why what are you doing what are you doing on top of us Do we not have a weapon?
Starting point is 00:27:21 A shotgun? A shotgun? I mean, clear them out, man. We got bows and arrows and spears here. Actually, I was over there with the monkeys. And for those people that are watching live, I got my monkey spear here.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Oh, nice. Yeah, and this is the one that I used to watch this. I still think you're getting overrun with that spear. You think so? Oh, man, because you're going to kill one. You're going to get stuck. I'm just going to kick them off. I'm just going to do monkey kebabs.
Starting point is 00:27:49 just going to do monkey kebabs. That's what I mean. There's more of them. Dude, you see how many monkeys there are on the road? I'm just going to do the Spartan thing. You know, just plant my feet and then wait.
Starting point is 00:28:00 And as soon as they come, I push them in. Uh-huh. Yeah. Nice knowing you. The monkeys will defeat you with that. I got my other one over there too. You'll get a couple of monkeys.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Two or three will go down and the other 800 will be all over you. I would not be messing with those at all. And congratulations. It is an order as well here in the break room. We've talked about the William Shatner divorce, the 88-year-old William Shatner divorce. After his 18 years of marriage, they have finally reached a divorce settlement. It's now over. It's done.
Starting point is 00:28:40 And, you know, remember, she was a big horse lady, right? Camille? She was not Camille. Camille? Is that you? No. Honey, we got to go back to your prince. Go back.
Starting point is 00:28:54 That was not me because remember, William's going to keep most of the $100 million. Oh. He's not giving up the cash. He's not sharing? But remember they had horses and she was a professional rider and she bred all these horses and stuff. So just to get even, William made sure that, uh, He's keeping most of the supply of horse semen. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Bill's like, I'll tell you what, most of that was bought while we were married, and that's mine. So he got the horse breeding equipment and all the horse semen. So good for William Shatner. That sounds like a good way to do with the show. If you don't have the equipment,
Starting point is 00:29:46 what are you going to do with the semen? And if you have the semen without the equipment, How are you going to insininate those horse babies? Don't answer that question. So we now have over 190,000 coronavirus cases worldwide, 80,000 recovered, almost 81,000 recovered, and 7,531 deaths, according to this. We've got a thousand, over a thousand. new cases here in the U.S.
Starting point is 00:30:36 So, so sad. I mean, we're already at 97 deaths, which I know, you know, with a 370 million people, it doesn't sound like much, but the numbers are starting to tally up, right? I mean, I guess, well, oh, easy, back off. Keep your social distance, okay? I guess the world has declared war on coronavirus though
Starting point is 00:31:04 and we had the Federal Reserve taking drastic emergency action trying to stabilize the economy businesses are facing a sudden drop of customers yeah no kidding and need short-term loans I don't know it doesn't seem like it's going to be too short-term but I mean people get the business has got to keep the lights on
Starting point is 00:31:24 right pay employees I don't know how you do it during World War II You know, you had Chrysler and GM making airplane engines and tanks. So companies are starting to ditch their day to day to serve the greater need. The French luxury group was converting facilities that produce cosmetics and perfumes.

Because I keep seeing they are and that they're not and they are and they're not. Of course, of course they're going to be launching a website.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Financial services, the biggest banks said, you know, they're not going to, they halt the stock buybacks. Yeah, well, we'll see how that works out. Millions of health care workers and volunteers and service workers are out there on the front lines.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Their government is calling on everyday citizens to make extraordinary sacrifices. The CDC is recommended we hold off on gathering in groups of 50 or more people in the next eight weeks no music festivals no weddings no trivia nights no morning brew happy hours i mean holy cow wait no trivia night no trivia night is canceled well done i need my trivia night let me phrase that No trivia night with more than 50 people.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Oh, okay. So 49. So 49. Except that the curfew is on and the bars are shut down and the government isn't letting anybody open. So you can have trivia night, I don't know, out on the corner with 40 people. Or you can stay home and not have that happen. I don't know. It's all shut down.
Starting point is 00:34:48 You know, I made fun of Glenn saying you would not recognize your country. Bra. I know. Brow. I know. Now, France's president has suspends payment of taxes, rent, water, gas, and electricity bills. Wow. Hello.
Starting point is 00:35:10 I mean, we had a big story where a guy in Maine said he wasn't going to charge rent until this is over. Good for him. And look, if you are renting, I wish I knew somebody that was, you know, leasing. You? Well, you do know somebody. Oh my gosh, that's right. What am I? That's right, Chris.
Starting point is 00:35:30 I just slipped my mind. Even if you don't pay your rent, are they going to kick you out? No. No. In today's political correctness and the pandemic craziness that is happening, no one's getting kicked out. Right now is the time where people like me and Jeffrey will thrive because you're like, what are you going to do? Seriously.
Starting point is 00:35:53 we are their best bet is to leave the people that are there there there like in the end they get their money yeah president trump declare a national you know emergency each state had declared a state of emergency um what is a person because right now here's the thing too if you do let's say jeff fisher owns you know fisher apartments and he starts demanding pay of rent and it gets on social media. Who's going to be the douche? It's not going to be the people not paying. It's going to be the white landowner that is demanding payment during a crisis.
Starting point is 00:36:33 You aren't kidding. And I don't even think you have to be white. But I mean, if it was Fisher Enterprises, it would be the white guy. You could look, you know, holding down the man. Yes. But any kind of landowner now or landlord trying to do that. You call me? Thank you for me for me for me.
Starting point is 00:36:49 I appreciate that. which by the way right now Ireland is looking pretty good I might leave and shop of my plot of land in Ireland you've got such a large I don't think you have personal space
Starting point is 00:37:05 enough in that plot I mean they sell inch squares that's plenty it's social distancing is it yeah it's social disditing so I'm good I'm pretty far away
Starting point is 00:37:18 okay so Amazon is saying they're going to hire 100,000 more workers and give raises to current staff. I mean, hello, keep those truck running. Let's go. We need... Wait. Wait.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Breaking news. Is this bunker breaking news sounder? This is bunker breaking news sounder? This is bunker breaking news sounder. You know when... Say it again. Say it again right now. This is bunker breaking news sounder.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Okay, thank you. So, everybody knows. you know, when CTF records, you know. News happens. News happened. And I want to give you a correction to that story that you just talking about. Can you give me the headline again? Sure.
Starting point is 00:38:03 I'll tell you, I'll just repeat what I said. Amazon is going to hire 100,000 more workers and give raises to current staff. Which then leads me into, keep those trucks on the road. Keep those goods and goods coming. I'm not, thank truckers at the beginning of this show, and I will continue to do it. every show because, I mean, they are keeping this country alive right now. They're the background of this country.
Starting point is 00:38:27 There's no question about that. But I got some news for you, Fisher, because Amazon suspense all warehouse shipments. What? Till April 5th. Now, the only things that they will be shipping will be medical supplies and high demand products. Oh, I can see it at my toilet paper. Yeah, but they've been sold out for two weeks. But good luck with that.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Yeah, but it's high demand. I can still order them. So we're going to. They're still going to deliver. It doesn't press for you to add to the cart. So this temporary suspension will go through April 5th as e-commerce giant prioritizes products relating to combating the growing corona pandemic. Yeah, I mean, the world has declared a war now, right? I mean, we can't.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Amber went to order something yesterday or the day before. We may even talked about it yesterday. Yeah, because she went to order and it was like, delivery is going to be delayed. Yeah, like, for example, I order to make more, like, I could play sanders and stuff like that. I order some cables and they say, yeah, you get it out next month. No, I want you to continue using your little sound effect machine.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Don't try to upgrade this bunker broadcast. This will happen. Don't you dare get an adapter to get actual, make this into an actual broadcast. How dare you, sir? Okay, okay, then never mind then. I guess we'll stick with the, you know. So as Amazon say you're getting your adapter when? Next month, next month.
Starting point is 00:39:57 But this is before they suspended all shipments. Right. So. Good luck. Wow. Now, I will say, we got to take it about this on the podcast too. We've got to talk about the, it's not hoarding, it's just price gouging. got to talk about that and we've got to talk about businesses and specifically
Starting point is 00:40:30 movie theaters what's happening with them yeah specific to talk about them by the way I think you predicted this fisher and if they would have listened to you last year way ahead of the curve we were way ahead of the curve when he came to this because you fisher said this first thank you we're done and it's right though we're on a streaming services only. America wants it now, and I don't want to wait on a weekly basis. I want my full eight episodes for the season right now.

I mean, it's just,
Starting point is 00:41:30 it's amazing. Look, can you just write things down and then so you don't forget that you, hey, let's talk about that? No, I do. I have a show sheet, but other things happen, and it leads into one and leads into another. Like, for instance, I have one listener who gave me a Facebook message and they talked about hey please do some reports on good things that people and companies are doing well I've been trying to do that but according to
Starting point is 00:41:59 this person Jennifer on Facebook you know they talk about school bus routes turning into lunch deliveries for kids businesses paying into extra funds for laid off employees people offering lots of services to fill needs according to Jennifer
Starting point is 00:42:15 a friend of hers came back to Christ amazing good things are happening and she wanted to and she voiced her love and you know listens to the show and everything but she wanted to make sure that that you know that we talk about the good things
Starting point is 00:42:30 okay she listens to the show but she wants to show but she wants to she wants to do it enough we're not doing the proper content that she wants we're not doing it enough what the hell Jennifer calm the hell down and first of all if I'm standing out front do I get will the bus stop for me to get free food
Starting point is 00:42:45 because I'll go stand on the corner man Nope. And even though I'm going to send my kids out there. I'll tell you that. Yeah. I was going to say you send your kids. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:52 You can send your kids. Like you guys go to this. You guys go to the school. Yeah. Anybody ask you a question. Your answer is yes. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Absolutely. And by the way, all the rules of ignore the guy in the white van with food, this, all those rules. Out the door. Out the door. A pandemic happens. Whatever person comes up to you and says, hey, do you want free food? You better say yes, son. I want this house to be full of food 100%.
Starting point is 00:43:22 In fact, expect Maya better stand on this corner. I'm going to set max over to the next neighborhood. Absolutely. Absolutely. And if you're not doing that right now, what the hell is wrong with you, Fisher? Because you should be doing that right now.
Starting point is 00:43:35 Which, by the way, our school right here around the corner, they say that they're going to be giving free breakfast and lunch for the kids. We went today. No one was there. So I don't know what happened if the lunch lady got the coronavirus and she's like, oh, look at the time. I'm not cooking. But also Uber is just sent me an email saying zero delivery fee of all local restaurants. Wow.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Look, we're trying to keep this is some way. I don't know how they're going to survive. I don't know how they're going to do it. I really don't. They're going to survive by that plan that Donald Trump wants to put in place with a stimulus. package giving businesses some loan we can know that money's gonna that money goes away though Chris we can only print so much money I mean I'm a fan I say I want I've I've lived a life of give me free stuff but I know but like we can't bog us down with those facts though like I know we can't
Starting point is 00:44:34 can't last I know worldwide worldwide we just it's just it's all free to people it just can't I know It just can't. We have to do. Businesses like this have to keep doing that stuff. They have to. Now, I saw where Buck Sexton had tweeted an idea, and I don't know if it's his idea or not, but since, you know, I know Buck and I like him,
Starting point is 00:45:02 I'll say it's his idea, which he stole from me. But they are talking about buy for their local restaurants, local restaurants, not the national chains. but the local restaurants at least get, you know, buy a card, a dinner card, and buy food for when, you know, in a future date, by a gift card from, you know, Bill's burgers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so, you know, okay, great.
Starting point is 00:45:30 And then he also said that I didn't tell him to put this in this tweet, but he also said, you know, if the company goes out of business, he was okay with losing the money. I am not. No, no, I'm not. I'm not. I want my burger. Yes. my burger yes yes okay find a way bill i don't care if you have a restaurant or not somebody's serving
Starting point is 00:45:50 a burger but it's shocking but i don't know how they stay open yeah it's shocking too it's shocking to that business it's like amazon we just talked about it you know shutting your warehouses down bro that has to hurt right like you know i don't understand it because now i'm confused now i'm seriously confused because Amazon is the leading the leading e-commerce website. We're telling people, go to Amazon and order. Don't go out, right? Social distancing.
Starting point is 00:46:20 So how can you do that? I don't know. I mean, I don't know. And how much does that, I mean, look, now you're talking about ordering from other stores, right? You're talking about ordering products from other stores and having it shipped and using, you know, FedEx and UPS. But when are they going to stop?
Starting point is 00:46:42 Well, I know. And plus, I don't know about this. I don't have a UPS Prime membership, and I want my goods delivered for free. Absolutely. Exactly. Yeah. So, like, if I order. I'm paying Amazon to send me goods for free that I'm still paying for.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Yes. I pay them a separate amount for a membership. And I also pay for the product. And they say that they're going to deliver that product to me free of charge. It's really not free because I'm paying for that membership. Don't buck me down with facts. Just keep talking. But now they're just saying,
Starting point is 00:47:15 I'm sorry. Look at the time. We're going to shut down. I just don't understand. I'm trying to think of the positive light, and I'm trying to stay positive. But when a major company like Amazon says, hey, we're going to shut things down.
Starting point is 00:47:33 And then, you know, I'm trying to be like, oh, okay, so you shutting things down. Okay, I understand. And then Uber eats tells me, Hey, you can order through us, zero. And then you bogged me down with facts of like, money is going to run out. We can print money and print. How do you do it?
Starting point is 00:47:46 How do you do it? How do you just stay at home and just don't eat, don't shower. Well, it's very, you know, look, that's common, right? I mean, we're already, we're talking about, originally it was for a couple of weeks. And now you have the president saying, you know. July, August? Mid summer, end of summer. Bro.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Holy cow. Hopefully, now hopefully, here's some good news on that. Hopefully, with what we're doing now, puts us ahead of the curve and we'll flatten the numbers out with the coronavirus. Absolutely. So that actually within four weeks, we can see those numbers be flat enough to say, okay, you can go out and you can, you know, you can gather. with 51 people, as long as you just, you know, keep it at 51 for now. We're not going to send the bombers. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:47 If you're more than 100, we'll kill you. But after that, if it's under the 100, you're fine. There has to be some positive. And I love you, Jeffrey, but someone with more, with moral, I don't want to hurt your feelings. Oh, now you're pissing me off. I know where you're wrong. Stop talking. Don't do it.
Starting point is 00:49:07 I need someone like, I don't know, pants, person to tell me that this is not going to be until July August. Well, he already, the president already told you that. I'm trying to tell you that there is positive life that it might not be that. It's not giving me happening. And you're saying to me that you don't want to hear from me. You know what? That hurts.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Well, good. Because it's scary, bro. That hurts. Does it? That hurts. So I want to talk about the Tennessee man who stopped piled sanitizer. and got in trouble for stockpiling hand sanitizer. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:49:43 So he stockpiles hand sanitizer. Now he claimed he had 17,700 bottles of hand sanitizer. All right. Now he and his brother foresaw this coming and went out and had bought hand sanitizer because he thought, oh my gosh, that's what they do. That's what he and his brother do. They look for ideas.
Starting point is 00:50:06 They go out and purchase the products and they sell it online and make money. That's the way they live. That's their business. That's their business, basically. Right. So it's not something that just came up overnight of, hey, let's do this because people are going to ask for this stuff. Right. I mean, that's what they do.
Starting point is 00:50:30 We're going to get this because we're going to ask for this stuff. We're going to have the product when people want it. Well, heaven forbid that happens now. We're going to go, that's price gouging. They're charging too much money for their product. It's okay if the Tennessee Titans have event pricing at the National Football League games. But heaven forbid that they do that outside of this during the coronavirus. So you tell me that they can charge $30 for one glass of beer?
Starting point is 00:50:59 Yeah, no, that's not price. Oh, that's not price gauging. No, that's event pricing. Okay, got it. Got it. It's just agonizing. so now and they sold like
Starting point is 00:51:10 three or 400 bottles on Amazon and then Amazon cut them off and then I think eBay then cut them off and then they donated they said they tried they said hey sorry okay we know this is what we do
Starting point is 00:51:26 we're sorry so instead of letting them charge what they paid for it and at least to get their money back, they donated most of it to a church, and then the state took the rest. Unbelievable. Incredible.
Starting point is 00:51:50 I mean, this cannot stand. It can't. It can't stand. And then in another story, these are people we're supposed to hate. Supposed to hate, right? We hate the Tennessee people. So then I see another story about coronavirus. hustlers making money because they are ahead of the curve on cleaning products.
Starting point is 00:52:14 And they saw it coming. So they've bought it. And these people are out hustling, selling their products. That's the same thing. Am I supposed to be happy or be mad? I guess it just depends where you're at. This just depends where you're at. That's all.
Starting point is 00:52:33 You're either a hustler and you're out there trying to. make a living and feed your family, or you're a price-gouging bastard. I mean, I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. And if you want some good news, some of the best advice. I know I have a headline here, experts, best single piece of advice on coronavirus. And it talks about the 18-second video clip that's being hailed on social media as the best advice you can have for avoiding spreading the coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:53:09 And then it tells me to continue reading this article and support great journalism. I have to subscribe. So I can't tell you the best advice that he gives in his video because I haven't subscribed to their news site. I thought everything was free now. Everything Corona should be free. How can they charge me for this? Everything Corona, according to our president, everything Corona is free.
Starting point is 00:53:31 Except for this website. Oh, no. Except for this website. But we actually do have the audio from my man. What is his name, Graham Medley, professor of infectious disease modeling. Wow. That's a title. Is that somebody you can listen to, Chris, instead of me?
Starting point is 00:53:51 Absolutely. That ticks me off. I have a fear of acquiring the virus. I think a good way of doing it is to imagine that you do have the virus and change your behavior so that you're not transmitting it. Don't think about changing your behavior so you won't get it. Think about changing your behavior so you don't give it to somebody else. Okay. So I posted that and I put good advice hard to do.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Absolutely. A couple people questioned hard to do. How is that hard to do? With the way we live or the way we've lived our lives, maybe not how we're living now, but the way we've lived and the habits that we have acquired, that's very hard to do man shaking hands touching our faces meeting hugging hugging kissing we go shopping we had talked yesterday about the shopping carts and the touching of things and the you know it's all you know by the time i'm done with the day i can't i get up in the morning i'm sitting at the table and i'm rubbing
Starting point is 00:54:52 my top of my forehead like this with my fingers and oh my god i'm touching my face i know what did i touch and i wash my hands and i mean it's just it's a and then i wash my hands like I'll wash my hands but the way they want us to wash our hands is before we eat after we eat before we sneeze
Starting point is 00:55:12 after we sneeze before we touch food after we touch food before we go to the bathroom after we go to the bathroom dude are you thinking about breathing wash your hands
Starting point is 00:55:23 exactly so like I get it like washing hands is the best way to combat this but dude and that's another thing on the price gaugging of hand sanitizer. They're telling us that that's not the best way to avoid.
Starting point is 00:55:37 No, soap and water is the best way to get rid of coronavirus. So why are we letting this guy literally waste 17,000 bottles of hand sanitizer and chlorox wipes? And now he's just donating them. And he's not even good enough now. Yeah, not even good. It doesn't matter. He can't even make his money back because he donated a portion.
Starting point is 00:56:00 And one third, the state just said, we're taking it. Uh, how about no? Oh man, I'm sorry, but no. I wish, I wish that was me because I'll be the guy. You're going to have to shoot me before you come into this house. They will. The state of Tennessee would have shot you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:20 The story would have been man found shot with 17,700 bottles of hand sanitizer. The state will donate the sand sanitizer. Yeah. Yeah. What happened to the man? We're investigating. We don't know. Suicide.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Yeah, we don't know what I have. It looks like right now, possible suicide. I mean, that's what's happening, right? Now those quick movie theaters and then we'll wrap this thing up for today. So now they're saying Universal is saying that they're going to make their movies online. Right? The theaters are struggling anyway. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:57:00 I didn't hear you correctly. Every movie theater that I've ever visited has been sending me emails telling me how clean they're keeping their movie theaters between movies. And please come and see movies. And yes, we're open. And we're cutting the group down by half. So everybody has their social distancing inside the theater. And please come see movies. And please spend $8,000 on popcorn.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Please, we're dying on the vine. We're dying on the vine. talk about price gouging. How much is a bucket of popcorn? Oh my gosh. Thank you. Thank you. That's again event pricing. Oh sorry. That's okay. Oh, I apologize. I thought that the regal or or Fandango or AMC or Cinemark. They just, yeah, it'll be $15. Yeah, but I just order popcorn. Yeah, $15. Yeah. $15. I'm sorry. You can come back and refill in the next 20 minutes and then it cuts off. But you can come back and refill.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Give free refills for 20 minutes. Can I have a popcorn and drink? That'll be $30. I'm sorry? Yeah, but you could get refills. You could get refills. Did you want one of these candies, honey? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:10 I'll add another 20. Oh, that'll be a 55 bucks. Dude, can't get a refill on the candy? No, not on the candy. I already scanned it. Sorry, once I scan it, that's it. That's it. Sorry, I wish I could.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Look at the time. You could get some free butter if you want and some salt. Right. They're not even doing that anymore. No. Don't touch it. Don't touch it. Don't do it. Don't touch it. I mean, so now they're saying Universal is saying, well, we'll just
Starting point is 00:58:33 release it online and you can. That's going to hit hard. Payperview. It's not hard at all. That's going to hit. No, no, no, no. I've been promoting this idea forever. No, no, no, no, it's going to hit hard because how is it going to hit hard? Yeah. How are you going to have movie box hits? What is the box hit of the week? the movie with the most online viewers it's not a box hit then it's not a box hit so like if I'm going to go to it's a computer hit it's a stream
Starting point is 00:59:06 and how do we know that that is the best movie to go see and how do we know that that's a movie that's going to get the Oscar if we don't know what the box score is but we do this movie was watched the most I don't think you're you're understanding my question I mean I should have been doing
Starting point is 00:59:29 Look Yeah this should have been a long time The outcome of this is going to be My plan I guarantee you the outcome of this is going to be my plan Oh please don't say that because this is going to be a sad world This is going to be so sad If every Fisher
