From the CQAB, the COVID-19 quarantine bunker. Yes, day 28 or 26, depending on what day you want to start it on. I think I'm going to start putting up a whiteboard behind me that just has the countdown date. so that those of you watching live have the countdown. You can see just the countdown. I don't have to announce it every day.

It's just there. But all kinds of stuff to get to today on chewing the fat. I don't know what we should talk about first. We got Broadway theaters. They're closing down for at least another two months. I know, dry your eyes. McDonald's global store sales fell 22%

in March. Rocket Lab announced a successfully caught a falling electron rocket stage in midair. I don't know what guy did that for rocket lab, but good for him. That's a heck of a catch. We had a rocket takeoff today. The Soyes rocket carrying the next three-member crew to the space station.

Now, did it, you know, of course they tagged NASA in it, but we're just hitching a ride. It's like a Soyes Uber rocket heading to the space station. We launched it from, I mean, say it with me, because it's Dachistan. GM announces that it's going to manufacture 30,000 ventilators. for the U.S. stockpile. And they're doing it for just a mere $489 million. It's a nice one to play along. What are they supposed to do it for free?

No. Last April, you know, I talked about the other day about why haven't we seen drones, right? I mean, planes are not flying or, you know, very few planes are flying. So now is the time more than ever to get that drone delivery up and running and figure out the ends and out of what we needed. well, the drone company from Alphabet, you know, Google, Wing, they became the first drone operator. Remember, they were FAA certified as an air carrier this past October, and they rolled out their test delivery program in Virginia. Well, deliveries have now more than doubled. Duh.

So now the company is partnering with FedEx, Walgreens, a local bakery, a local cafe. They were listening to chewing the fat. I told them, get it up and running. And I want to see drones dropping stuff off here in the Metroplex of DFW soon. And I want to have, yes, I need that product and have a drop on my roof. They're adding more drones and more delivery vendors as we speak. And that's in Virginia. Let's go.

We need to pick up the pace. Pick up the pace. And we have to. to talk about the AMC theaters too and not just AMC but all the theater companies they're talking now that all the theater companies bankrupt shut down no money have a nice day i mean i know it's the free market system and we're in a pandemic there's got to be a way to help them i think i may have figured it out So we've talked a lot about how to get new movies in our homes, right?

And I've had the plan all along, and that was when we still had theaters. And I said, we'll keep the theaters open. Keep them open. And they can, you know, if it's not a top five movie, then, you know, you get to, get to rent it in your home. I love, I love the way you opened up this second. I had to plan all along. All you had to do was call me, email me, but I had to plan. You guys just screwed up and never called me, but I had the plan.

Can you be a little bit more humble? I even hear. Just a little more. I'm here to help America. I know you are. You know what? In America, I'm here to help America. America appreciates your help, Fisher.

Trust me. I don't think so. America needs your help right now. Right now, America is asking for more Fisher ideas in the world. But I'm just going to complain a little and tell you to be a little bit more humble. And that should help you a lot. That should help you. And you can quote me on that.

AMC, landmark, Harkins Theaters, Alamo Draft House, showcase cinemas, bow tie cinemas, any of your smaller cinemas that are struggling now and looking like you're going to go out of business and completely shut down because of the pandemic, I would love to be able to help you and come up with some ideas to keep your businesses running. I'm not saying that I already had that idea a month ago. It's going to help you. It could have already been surviving if you had to listen to me a few months ago, but you didn't listen now.

So I don't know why you're going to listen now. By the way, if you are epic theater, mad props to you for making your movie theaters, a driving movie theaters. Well done. So Epic theaters is a very small business. You know, it's very, I want to call it mom and pop, but it's very limited. It's in Florida and a couple of southern states. And I used to go to them when I lived in Florida.

So I got an email saying, we are turning our movie theaters into driving movie theaters. Okay. They have already driving theaters or they're building screens in their parking lots? They're putting screens on front of the movie theaters. And then you can just park and watch the movie. That's kind of cool. It's a good idea. It's a good idea.

Now, had I been on that conference call, I would have said, hey, that's a good idea. And it's not, you know, I'm going to give them a couple other ideas as well. Like what? Like what? I was thinking today, really, I was thinking, why don't they, why don't they do? We've got to be able to, I don't, you know, do I, do I honestly care that the movie theater industry is falling? I don't know. I mean, the jobs and the, you know, the, the, the money that it creates around the country, I do care. I do.

It's, you know, obviously, I don't want businesses to fail. want businesses to succeed. That's what we're doing here in America and we're we're making businesses fall during this pandemic by telling them that they have to close incredible. But no one was going anyway, right? I mean before the lockdown before they said yeah these businesses have to close no one was going very few people were going. I got an email every day from all of the movie houses that I had frequented telling me, hey, we're still open. We're still cleaning our theaters every two minutes between scenes. We pause the movie and come in and hose it down.

Wait, wait, hold on. So you're pausing the movie to clean down? No wonder they're going out of business. They're interrupting the experience. I do have a question for you. How many times before the pandemic, how many times were you going to the movie theaters in a month? Very few. I don't have an

exact number because it would just depend on... In a minimum, I was going four times a month. And I'm sure you're not alone. I mean, it's a huge business. And that's why they didn't want to lose it. And that's why they didn't want to get the deal of streaming the movies so that I could stay at my house and watch these new movies. They wanted to make me come to the theaters. I got it.

You know, I understand the premise. And Hollywood was all for it. And it was a way for them to track their films. And it was a way to, you know, say, people are watching our movie. And we've got all these people watching. Okay, well, why not have, you know, they tried to get the, we'll make AMC app like Red Box or, you know, any of the other movies. Yeah, we can just rent the movie from them and then, you know, for.

Well, I think I'm okay with that, except that not the catalog of 8 billion movies, because that catalog belongs to the others. Let's say, if I want to watch, you know, the new movies that come out, I have to go to the AMC app, and since they're not selling me popcorn, I'm okay with paying for the AMC app and then pay for the movie. so I'm paying for the app which takes care whatever it is not much I don't say charge me

80 dollars a month for the AMC app but you know five bucks a month whatever the case is so then I go to your app and the new movie is out and I click on it and I spend whatever you charge me to watch it at home for the next 24 hours

or the next 12 hours and I watch it through your app the new movie app so you are okay with paying for the app monthly and being charged for the movie. Yeah, I think that way we save the, we save the company, right? Okay. Okay, no, I'm sorry.

But here's the thing, though. If you do that, aren't you eliminating the popcorn guy, the nacho cheese girl, the barista? So why do I need to pay for the app when those jobs are no longer there? it should be free and just charge it for the movie. Oh, that's fine too. Okay. I'm just trying to, you know, I'm just trying to, I'm trying to throw a bone to the movie.

Because now you're just paying for the coder. And maybe the way we keep it, you know, there are so many of them. Like I said, I named them. You know, you got Harkins and Elmo Draft House and Showcase and Bowtie and AMC and AMs and Regals. And, you know, I've got all these different companies that people were going to see the movies. So maybe, okay, so the apps are free. and how do you say, no, I don't have the AMC app. I use the Harkin app because with the Harkin app,

I get to rent the movie for 18 hours instead of 12. And Harkin will, I get to order popcorn and a candy bar, and the Harkin drone drops it off in front of my house so that I can eat while I'm watching the movie. And I pay for it that way. I don't know. I was thinking out of the box. No, I like that.

And that's what we need to be doing because that's what we do here in America. We either create a new problem or we fix a problem. So, yeah, because like, yeah, we create a problem. Because right now I have so many issues with the whole renting the movie. So, like, for example, when we started this whole pandemic, we talked about on the show where I wanted to see The Invisible Man. And that was the first, just one of the first movies that they said, it's going to go straight to your smart device and you can watch it there.

Well, my understanding was that I could purchase it. No. And I'm renting it for 30 days. If I don't watch it, if I don't watch it in 30 days. That's way too much. That's way too long. If I don't watch it in 30 days, I lose it. But once I start watching it, I have 48 hours to finish the movie.

I'm out for that. And 30 days is way too long. By the way, way too long. Why? To let you have access to it. No, but it's not. You don't go to the movie theater and say, I'm here. I want to buy a ticket for a movie that's coming out six months from now.

I know that you can do that. I get it. And for the big movies, you know, they do that. Okay, that's fine. I want to watch the movie. Okay, great. I go to the app and I say, that movie's coming out next week. I want to buy the ticket to watch it in my home for 25 or 30 bucks, whatever it is.

and when the movie releases I get the alert hey your Invisible Man movie is available to watch you have seven days no people are not going to like that tough

people are not going to learn to like it because that's what we got no it's 30 days as soon as I get it I don't get it why you saw 30 days it's not like you could watch it 30 times as soon as you hit play that's when the real timer kicks in and we'll hit play

within seven days get over yourself No, I feel like you just... Like going to the theater. Yeah, but this is... You're going to sit in the theater for 30 days. Don't start the movie yet. But this is...

You're thinking about it still going to the movie theaters. And now you're pissing me off because you're not understanding this whole thing. Because you're like, oh, you're not going to see... Of course you're going to see the movie there for 30 days. But if I'm at home, I'm busy, I bought it today. Oh, I got to watch this. I got to watch that.

I got to watch this. Oh, okay. And by the way, that is a perfect way to, like, If you don't watch it the first seven days, guess what? Apple TV just banked that money because there's no way you're going to watch it. You're going to forget about it. You're going to catch up. I disagree.

Really? I disagree. Oh, my gosh. Today you're in a mood because I thought you would agree on that. You absolutely are going to forget about the movie after seven days. That's not my fault. It's you're an idiot. You leave the movie.

Get to it. But I'm busy. I'm watching other things. Oh, Donald Trump just texted me. Donald Trump says he's matching four times a donation right now because Bernie Sanders dropped out. So I'm busy right now.

So if you want to finish his segment, go right ahead. You're busy donating to Dom. I'm going to, he texted me. The president of the United States just texted me saying, I need you to donate. And because I need you to donate, I'm going to match four times. because Bernie Sanders is out.

So you have to do that right now. Right now. But when you get the alert that the new movie you wanted to watch came to your phone, you want to wait 30 days. Okay. Okay. So congratulations are in order. But before I get into congratulations, I wanted to say that, be sure to look out for, I'll give you my YouTube Quibi update tomorrow. I'll give you my Chewing the Fat and YouTube update on Quibi.

I'm going to download it. We're going to take a look at it. I just saw an article. I haven't read the whole thing yet, but it talked about how Quibi designed for Gen Z gets better, the more you tinker with it. So I'll have to play with it a little bit. And the app, too.

I think you know what I'm saying. Two congratulations are in order. The first congratulations is the Disney app, 50 million subscribers. whof congratulations are in order for that

that is huge we'll see how long that lasts and see if they can keep that up I hope they can and it would be nice to say that they can

the other congratulations that are in order is that the new billionaire I'm sorry he's not a new billionaire he's the new frontrunner billionaire in Dallas Texas Jerry Jones

number one in Dallas, Texas, jumped to $8 billion over the banker Andy Beale with only $7.9 billion. Now, Beale had like $10 billion, and now he's dropped down. So the banking industry, he's made a couple of bad investments. I'm not quite sure what the deal is with Beale, but he's number two now, number two in Dallas. But Texas alone, Texas alone, $59 billion. billionaires in Texas. 59.

Why am I not on this list? I'm not even close. In fact, I shouldn't even be reading this list. That's how far away from this list I am. I was going to say, don't you have to be like actually have money in order to be in that list? It's embarrassing. Soon, the internet will say is he reading the billionaire list and they'll cut me off. It's incredible.

So the number one billionaire in Texas lives in Fort Worth. I live in the same city. Why can't they throw me a bone? Because you don't have the money to throw the bone at. You don't have the money. You don't have the money. That's funny. That's funny.

That's the point. They're in the same city. She is worth $54.4 billion. That's the daughter of Walmart, right? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. There's three kids, three kids, all worth over $50 billion.

Hmm. I mean, you put that together, Jeff Bezos, he's going to be that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Then the number two in Texas is Michael Dell. I wonder what he runs. Is he from the Macintosh computer?

The what? The Macintosh computer. Yeah, that's what it is. Oh, okay. It's not the Dell computer, right? Because I feel like that's a coincidence. Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, it's just a coincidence.

Okay. Yeah. He runs a grocery chain. Oh. Oh, yeah. at the Dale grocery store right around the corner. Yeah. Oh, wow.

I thought he was just like a bum. I didn't know he was a billionaire. Right? And then the number three billionaire was way down. I mean, number three in Texas only has $10.7 billion. How does he live here? I know. He should be with a homeless population in San Francisco.

I mean, Jerry Jones is number one in Dallas with only. 8 billion. And that's the guy that owns the Cowboys, correct? Correct. Okay. The number three guy, though, is that lives in San Antonio, Charles Butt and

family. So, congratulations to Charles, but, but family. What is that? What do they do? No, he's the grocery store chain.

Another one? The ATB, yeah. Oh, that's the HV guy? Yeah. Can he not make his stores more like his last name? What do you mean? What's his last name again?

B-U-T-T-T. And what's his first name? I'm guessing it's butt. It's B-U-T-T. Oh, so. Charles Butt family. Not even his initials. C-E-B?

It has to be H-E-B. So what does H-E-B stand for? Buy your freaking groceries here. H-E-B stands for here, everything better. There you go. Ew. I don't want to shop there anymore. in Austin

he lives in San Antonio but in Austin it's pretty tough to find I mean the HGB when I go visit my son the closest big store is HB so unless you want to drive all over

you just go there Yeah my wife My wife and my mother-in-law They love HGB Yeah Oh my gosh They have the best wine I just go to a winery

No HGB has the best one Um, okay. All right. Don't forget to bring your bag or they'll charge you for another H.E.B. Bag. Absolutely. Oh, you get you to take it on the box.

They should give you that nice box. Every, no, they don't. If you buy, yes, sir. If you're buying the wine, you have to buy six wine bottles in order to get the box. But, you know, but they give you a box. Yeah, to carry them. Okay. It's a nice, it's a six pack of wine bottles.

My son is getting. ripped off. He's got a pantry full of HB bags that he spent. Every day you buy an HB bag, you go there. You forget to bring the bags back with you to go shopping. He's doing HEB run because I've been to HB twice and every time me and my father-in-law came

out with boxes. You know what? I apologize for not knowing the alcoholics way around it. Oh, so now I do. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Because they are listening to this podcast. Did you just call them alcoholics? I said I apologize for not knowing the alcoholics way

around it. I didn't call those specifically alcoholics. No, that would be silly. I just, you tell me I have to purchase at least six bottles of wine and then they give me the wine box, right? Yes. So if I buy something else, then you're saying I can put the other stuff in that wine box. Yes. Take the dividers out and put the stuff in the box. Yeah, I got you. I understand what's going on here. I'm being ripped off as what's going on here

when I go to ATB. That's what's going on here. Before we go to the break room, I just wanted to clear up something. So I continued to look into the billionaire list. And it looks, I thought Houston, Texas, and I know if you're not from Texas, you don't get them. We have 59 billionaires in the state of Texas. I think that's pretty impressive. And I thought Houston was the number one city for. all the billionaires, but it looks like Dallas is the number one city. And Fort Worth is

like third for the most billionaires. And Fort Worth also has the lowest, the bottom of the run. The guys that are only worth a billion. One guy is worth one billion and the other guy is worth one point one billion. They're at the bottom of the list. If they live in Fort Worth, please. It's embarrassing. You're embarrassing yourself. Really? You're embarrassing yourself. I mean, Alice Walter, the number of the richest female in the world with $54.4 billion lives in for us. She's embarrassed to live in the same city with you. So are you telling me that those people have to do $53 billion more? Yes, I got to be into the good standing of the Fisher, you know, judgment table.

Of the billionaire list, not me, not me. No, I feel like you're, I feel like these billionaires right now are not, they just woke up it's about to be lunchtime they just woke up they clapped their hands the help came in with their mask and gave them the breakfast

slash brunch plus if you're a billionaire even if you're a lowly billionaire with only a billion dollars you're not just waking up now it sounds good but just so you know I know you guys work hard

easy up it's okay but you can maybe spend a little advertising dollars on chewing the fat and but my real point to this is that uh the butt's family uh and the head of h eb really it is does not stand for here everything is better right it was for the old man the original guy right the howard edward but yeah yeah he was It was his store. Yeah, that's what's supposed to be. But now days, the initials also stand for here.

Everything's better the store slogan. Right. Howard's rolling over in his grave right now. He's pissed. He's pissed. I built this, but you people, I gave this. You better call it. Honey, we're going to the Howard E.B.

You aren't lying. I thought I was a GP. Oh, how dare you? You're not allowed to go in anymore. How dare you? Ridiculous. All right, let's go to the break group. I need a Coke.

Colos here. Descript. So good. So good. Be sure to subscribe to chewing the fat. Whatever platform you want. I don't care. You know what I'm talking about with platforms, right?

iTunes. Iheart. Stitcher, Spotify. Whatever. Whatever little platform you listen to your podcast on, subscribe to chewing the fat. Very simple. Go to that platform.

Search for chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. subscribe and then you'll be alerted when the shows are uploaded every single day except for sunday and except for some Saturdays but every day every day well you know it's kind of difficult since we're quarantined a lot of people wants to join us inside the CQB I know so when we did those interviews I'm a little sick at that actually yeah so like we we're trying to reach out to these people but I feel like their emails are getting lost. Like, I keep sending mail.

I keep sending mail. Oh, they're shut down. They're in their own quarantine. That means your emails are only going to your business. They don't come to your home. Which, if you're doing that, that's a big mistake. Fix it. Because we need Saturday shows.

We need Saturday shows. We need Saturday shows. Especially now, it's much easier to make a Saturday show. We don't have to go anywhere. You have to wake up, go upstairs. I go downstairs. Danzo. I know.

I know. You preach it to the choir. Preach it to the choir, my friend. So I told you a while ago that it was going to be happening. I couldn't wait for it to happen, and it is starting to happen. We talked about it either earlier this week or late last week with Kevin Hart and prime time, Dion Sanders and Sean P. Diddy Combs all not dyeing their hair and dyeing their beards. And so it's all gray. I told you 28 days ago, I cannot wait for to see everybody's real hair color.

It's coming. And now it's coming. So people are starting to realize I either need to own it or the Instagram account needs to go dark. You're going to see pictures of the actress's kitchen with. her in it. This is my pool and she's not going to be laying there. Or it's going to be, this is my pool and you're going to see her legs

with her feet in the water so you can't tell that her toenails aren't painted. And you're not going to see her hair because that's great too. So it's very interesting. Am I still seeing her legs? Yeah. Are you sure about that?

Are you sure the waxer is still working? Because I don't think the waxer is working. And there's no way. No, but they still do a little shave at home. It's okay. So you tell me, these boozy people in Hollywood are like the regular moms of the world that they're shaving their legs as they shower. I don't think they've been seeing a shaver ever since they started being famous. So we're seeing all over the people that are now owning it.

Yeah. And what do you mean by owning it? Are you meaning that they're coloring themselves or they're just letting their hair just go? Both. And they're coloring themselves only because they had it in the stash, which very few of these actresses and celebrities have, right? Because they were going out to get it done. There's a few working moms and stuff that have the extra stash underneath the sink that are still okay for a little while longer. But most of the actresses and entertainers, no way they had that stuff under the stuff underneath.

No, no, they were doing it. No, they were doing it. For example, we always made fun of one of the guys from the Fox News 5. Oh, yeah, he just did his hair. He just did his hair. And that was the, he just did it when the makeup girl was doing it. And she did it right before the show. It looks blacker than a shirt.

That hair was black, black. That's fine. I don't care. You know, that's what you want to do. That's the look he can have. But there's no people, nobody's, doing it themselves. One, they don't know how. And if they're trying, they're calling mom back home, like, mom or grandma, how do you use to color your hair again? So do I need those plastic gloves and a

water and a, and that bottle with a tent? Do I add water to the tent or do I just add the tent to the hair? And don't leave it. Do I leave, do I put like the egg timer for 30 minutes? Yes. And if it starts burning, is that a good thing or a bad day? Oh, that's a bad thing. and make sure you get some Vaseline because you want to put some Vaseline on the edges of your skin so it doesn't bleed down into your skin when you put it in your hair.

Okay, okay. So we find out, I see the headlines. Nicole Kidman sparks reaction as she reveals her natural hair and new photo. Is she revealing her new hair? So I look at the story and it's all about Nicole saying,

I just had enough. I wanted to go back to my normal hair. Okay. It's called the pandemic and your girl's stylus? is no longer working. Miley Cyrus, cut her own hair to a Joe exotic mullet.

That's because that's the only cut she can do to herself. But she's owned it. She did. Right? So they're owning it. She did that mean. She started buzzing and cut it and like,

oh crap, there's only one way out of this. Either you continue what you started or you stop right there. I stopped at mine. I didn't continue because you'd be like, oh, no,

a little bit more, a little bit more. Next day I know I'm all bald. So I stopped. And I see the tweet that. You tweeted out earlier today where Janice Dean says, I sure do miss all the wonderful hair and makeup artist. But sometimes you have to be your own and it shows her, you know, cutting her own hair, which, you know, looks good on you, Janice. Well, she didn't cut her hair. She was working on her roots.

You could see that the hair stuff right at her roots. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought she colored her roots and left the top light. But never mind. No, she was just coloring her roots. So the smart move, the smart move is them, oh, is you owning it. Yeah, you don't, yeah, you don't color it. That's what Kevin Hart did.

Yeah, you don't, that's what Deion Sanders did. That's what Combs did. It's like, yeah, we're here. I can't see it. I'm home. I'm not working. I don't have the availability to have it colored. Here's, here I am.

And by the way, that connects you more to the American Joe. We talked about early in the week. Yeah. Because guess what? American Joe is not kind of his own hair. they're just letting it go owning it pajamas yesterday I went to Kroger

I didn't realize that I was still in pajamas and my bad haircut and I was like oh crap I still have to go inside the Kroger so bad haircut pajamas

here I am part of the Walmart people now well Kroger people Kroger people good job yeah no one yeah Kroger

So we are in a pandemic I know And it's very very frustrating And it's becoming more and more frustrating Each day Believe me I understand And I love my family

I love my family And it's becoming Like I just Want to leave the house For a little while So I just want to leave You know that special time You had every day in your automobile

That was your time and that hasn't happened in a while. I just want that time back. But, oh well, it'll come back sooner or later. The total cases of coronavirus in the United States of America, as of today, the 9th of April, 2020, during the actual time of this recording, 449,55 total cases. We have 15,826 deaths. Very sad. And just a reminder, a year ago, and actually a year ago,

or all last year, every day, you had between 2 million and 2.5 million total travelers through the TSA checkpoints. checkpoints. Yesterday, the 8th of April, 2020, you had 94,931, 931 travelers

through the TSA checkpoints. Wow. And it's gone down. Remember we talked about it the other day, but if you look at the last three, four, five days, 118,000, hundred and 22,000,

hundred and then after the hundred and twenty two after the surge of four thousand then it went shot back down to 108 thousand ninety seven thousand ninety four thousand wow that trend is not good for the airlines that trend is not good for the airports that trend is not good for all the side companies that provide goods and services for the airports and the airplanes and the airline industry. Wow. We've got to turn this engine back on. We've got to turn it back on soon. Now, according to Dr. Fauci, he claimed yesterday that Americans may be able to take summer vacations.

I think that was meant to make me feel better. but Americans are not going to want to take summer vacations. Americans want to get back to work. This has been our vacation. I really believe that. I really believe when, I mean, it's summertime. We want to get back to work. There's no vacation.

I got the kids that are not going to be able to. This is when they're supposed to be off school and they are off school. So it's vacation time. Well, not for me. I've been sitting here on my hands for a month, month and a half, two months. we need to get back to work and start providing. Can you stop sitting on your hands? Because that's a long time to be sitting on your hands.

I know. They're numb right now too. I was going to say, do you have blood flow going? No. That's 28 days that you've been sitting on your hands. And I want to make sure that when the pandemic is over, you still have hands because you're going to have to drive yourself to work. Thank you.

You're going to have to leave the CQB. I appreciate it. I appreciate the caring. I almost believe that you cared. I do. We're also getting stories of, and we've heard this a couple of times, and now I see it more and more now,

and it's sad, but it's the actual notebook happening in real life. Couple married for over 50 years, die of coronavirus holding hands. And I'm not sure if that's supposed to make me feel better or make me be sad.

suppose it make you feel better yeah I think it's cause that queen because romance still in the air with a little bit of coronavirus but romance is still in the air right the actual notebook we were married we held hands and we knew we were sick and we were we hoped we would die but we held hands and we died together I don't know maybe wow maybe dude that was very douchy of you initially I'm on your boat but dude dude

we have the story in Kentucky that everybody's yapping about where they're putting ankle monitors on people residents to track where they're going now I will tell you that I am the one who is I am

adamantly against ankle monitors you can quote me on that I do not like overall overall I do not like and clock monitors. I think they're you know, I don't like them. Can I ask you why? Because they're hard to

Okay, never mind. They're all right. Never mind. Never mind. Never mind. Never mind. Okay, so when so you see the headline do you think, ah, here we go. But really what

they're talking about is if you are, are in if you're someone in your family, has COVID-19 or you have had COVID-19 and now you have a family and you won't stay in your home. They're not doing it to just anybody. So I feel like. So that's okay. That's okay with you.

Oh my gosh. I feel like okay. I don't recognize you. I feel like I should be okay with it. Now, the other side of that is the story itself. And I don't know that if I'm the only one that looks at a story this way, but I see the picture of an ankle monitor on someone's foot. And I think those are, I love those shoes.

Oh yeah. The shoes were nice shoes, yes. It's the Timberline with the stretch on the ankle that you put in. I love those shoes. I love them. So I know that I'm probably the only one that thinks, because Timberland's not making them for a while. Not that I know that because I was looking for a pair for quite some time.

And there were other shoe companies that were making it. My grandfather had a Timberland pair for years, and I really, I'm still on the hunt for a good pair of Timberland shoes like that. Just a thought. Maybe that's why I like the, I'm okay with the being an ankle monitor, because I'm thinking, hey, if I get an ankle monitor, I'm going to have those shoes. Do they have the shoes? Yeah, okay. Okay. Coming to a city near you, I know this happened in Mexico, but I can feel it happening.

in America soon, where a mayor decided we're going to block the roads to stop this coronavirus spread. And some of the, some of what they're calling gangs decided that they were unhappy with that. And that's correct. So apparently the mayor was traveling between two communities. And he was traveling in his little white minibus. Vehicles just pulled up alongside of him. And he's rest in peace.

Wow. Now, rest peace to the mayor. We do know that the gangs of America listens to this podcast because what else do you have to do? Right. You can go outside and sell your drugs

or commit your crime. So you're down there downloading and listening to tune in the fact. I don't recommend you do that here in America. I know Fisher said that just feel like it's coming. That is coming to a town near you. I don't think our criminals are that dumb.

Or those criminals, our criminals are that bold to kill a mayor? Fisher. Yet. Yet? No. Stop. Stop. No.

I would like to think that. Look around my friend. I would like to think that my American criminals are better than that. We do not kill political heads. You could kill everybody else who you want. you can go to Chicago and murder each other out but I feel that that is a unspoken rule

we do not kill our political heads our families moms kids no like I said I like I said I feel like you're not understanding me either here I said

the American gangs American criminals they have an unspoken rule they do not kill political figureheads and I don't disagree I'm just saying that reading that story makes me feel like it's coming to a city or a country near you soon.

Dateline, San Antonio, Texas. Nearly a thousand employees have been let go. from a company who owns Jim's restaurants. Now, it closed all of its restaurants, and it furloughed all those employees. Well, we know now that they have been fired. Now did Jim get on the phone and call all the employees and say,

hey, I just want to let you know that, we've got to let you go. I know it's tough. It's the coronavirus. It's tough times all across America. I don't want to have to let you go. This is,

but we hear frontier enterprises, Jim's restaurants, we've got to close the restaurants. It's a painful decision. We really appreciate all the work you're doing. And we're just going to have to let you go. I'm sorry about that. Did it happen like that?

No. no it did not and I don't know that that would be a good way to do it you feel like it's a good way to do it but then people start crying and they get mad and they holler and they yell and that's a thousand people you have to go through nobody wants to get a bit stabbed by a thousand people

we're calling the fire up nobody wants that no one wants that but as the head guy you kind of feel like you got to take it right yeah yeah or you or you at least have you know Millie an HR make the call Oh, Millie, okay, I was going to ask you, who is Millie? She's the secretary, the manager, okay, the HR,

okay, okay. Millie's in HR, but what happened was I guess they decided that, you know, we'll just, why don't we just send everybody a postcard and say, hey, you're fired. Can I have a picture of Donald Trump when he was at the Celebrity Apprentice or the apprentice?

with a finger pointing out you said, you're fired. Audio postcard. We don't have any money, but we can send postcards with an audio postcard of Donald Trump. Or, you know, my friend, our friend, our mutual friend,

John Deneico, the guy that we called to do our impersonation for Donald Trump, Dr. Phil, Jay Leno. He's pretty cheap. He's right now doing a bunch of videos at home for people that, you know, he can't do any big gatherings.

So I can hook you guys up with, you know, the Donald Trump impersonator and he can just fire your employees. I'm telling you that he will appreciate that. Hire him? Well, look, with almost 1,000 employees, just like I said, the owner, CEO, I'm sorry, the CEO, Jimmy of Jimmy's restaurants, with almost 1,000 employees,

the difficult decision was made to send the note. by mail. We wanted the information as quickly as possible. And look, on a serious note, I get it. And I truly do. I understand it. It's such a frustrating time. Can you translate that quote and read between the lines, please? What is that? With almost a thousand employees, it was difficult decision. It was made. It was just to send a notice by mail to all employees. They would receive the information as quickly as possible. And can you translate that into CTF standards? There's no way I'm talking to each one of these employees and I am not making the call

and I'm not making Millie make the call because I fired her three days ago. Okay, so I'm the only one left here at Jimmy's restaurants. And I'm not laughing that a thousand people has their job. No way. No, we're not laughing at that. It sucks. I'm laughing at that is exactly what Jimmy was thinking as you. He's laying in bed looking at the wife.

Okay, honey, how do we... I know. How do we fire these people without... You know, it sucks, but they have to understand, right? Like, everybody's tight in money. We don't have money. They don't have money. What is the best way to tell them that they're fired?

Without me? I'll put stamps on a postcard. I'll put stamps on a postcard and we'll just print them out. And it's just because, you know, you know, she turned out. She said, well, you can you just... call them and let them know. Yeah, I don't want to talk to this. A thousand four numbers I have to dial.

And then that means they're going to cry. Do I have to tell them it's going to be okay? Plus the bottom, 950. I don't even know. Exactly. I'm calling Joe the dishwasher. Never met him. Never met him.

What would be worse? I mean, you mail the postcard. What would be worse? You call, like if I'm working for Jimmy's restaurant and a phone number calls me that I don't know. voicemail so I said it the voicemail you get the voicemail from Jimmy hey hey Juan this is Jimmy you know CEO of the restaurant that you were the the dish cleaner on and I just want to let you know that I know we told you that we know that Bill the

manager told you that you were furloughed a week ago but I didn't have a chance to drop you a postcard so I just want to let you know you're fired take care by the way I want to point out the racism from Jeff Fisher. He made a Hispanic the dishwasher and Bill. The manager.

Oh my God. Even through the pandemic, Jeff Fisher's still a racist. You gotta be kidding me. Are you telling me that the host is Juanita or is it Ashley? Which one? The greeter? The greeter.

Is it Juanita or Ashley? Ashley, you racist bastard. I want you to describe for me, Ashley, please. Describe for me, Ashley. Yeah, describe. She's about 5'4, brown hair. Is she a college student? She was when she first interned for us.

Wow. That was great. Great. Look, I don't have any of you could. I'm the owner. I'm the CEO. Okay, Jimmy. That were working.

Okay, Jimmy. Okay, Jimmy. Just make sure you call Juan Carlos and Kevin. Your dishwashers. Where's Jerome? Oh, Jerome is the cook. Leave Jerome alone. Jerome is a cook.

His nephew, though. His nephew is a guy that sweeps up. up at night. Yeah, yeah. Your own nephew? Yeah, so that's all good. I got a family working for. They all got cards.

And the bartender? Yeah, yeah, that's Knicks. Yeah, he has tattoos on his neck and a couple of piercing. I tell him to get him off. Karen does the weekends, though. Karen does the weekends. Yes, Karen. Yeah, Karen loves the weekends.

Yes, Karen. And Betsy, we told her to, you know, Betsy, you got to control yourself. Stop throwing yourself to the guys when they order those margaritas. Right. Stop it. Okay. Stop it. So we do that. And then there was, you know what, I'll leave you with two more, two more things.

All right. One kind of sad. Oh, no. And one. And then I'll leave you with a joke today. Because I read a joke last night that I literally LOLed. Is it a COVID-19 joke or is it a joke joke? No, it's a joke. Okay. Let's go.

Is it a joke that it's going to make me- There's no joke about COVID-19. Oh, we just made one. We literally-nothing about COVID-19, my friend. Nothing funny about COVID-19. We just made a joke. Not only of COVID-19. 19 of people getting fired.

You must be listening to another show because I wouldn't joke about COVID-D. Because I think I have my headphones on on Comedy Central. That's what it is. Okay. So they're now concerned. And we talked about it early on and then it kind of went away that if you tested positive for COVID-19 and you had it and you got better. And they talked about, I usually just like the flu that you're fine. You're over it.

But they're talking now that it can reactivate. Yeah. So 50 patients have now tested positive again. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's not. And we did talk about that. That's not good?

No, no. No, and we did talk about that. That was a real big in Italy. Remember that? That's when it's starting because they're like, oh, you know, we're sending people home. Oh, crap. Lorenzo's coming back. Yeah, they're coming back.

Lorenzo, what happened? Hey, hey, be here here. I'm going to come back. Oh, Lorenzo. What happened? Hey, yo, let him be a nice all the night. I didn't realize you had the audio from the news report like that so fast. Hey, this is chewing the fat.

We only have the best. We only have the best. I appreciate. I'm here. I'm here here. I'm here. I'm going to govenatting. Oh,

please. And so Lorenzo, we lost them. Oh no. We almost. Wasn't that in the news report or did I? we're we're going to because Lorenzo

Murillo for the COVID 19 This is like an Italian report again No this is Spain Spain next door Yeah next door Yeah

Anyway So that's not good news That is not good news If you get it And it goes away And then you can catch it again Oh Well I don't

That's one thing Like people It's not so You should not be surprised It's not like Now I'm getting pissed about this. Of course you're going to get it again. It's not a one time thing like what's that thing that you get one time? Um, you, uh, diesel. Yeah, that stuff. Yeah. Chicken pox. It's,

it's, it's not the chicken pox. You get it once. Oh, you're done. That's not it. Now, some people might have the antibody after they get it and they will not get it again. Those are people that we need to start looking for and rounding them up. They need to round them up and like that. Uh, what's Those are the people we need to round up. Those two veterans, the 95-year-old and a hundred and four-year-old, those two veterans need to round them up, suck them dry, and figure something out with their blood. Now we just became vampires.

So. We've said that before, though. We have. We have to. That's not new on this podcast. I mean, I'm sorry. That's the way it goes. Yes.

And by the way, that's what you do to help human population. You sacrifice your blood. Now, we're not going to kill you. But we might just take half of your blood and then let you rest and you come back next week. You give me more blood and you leave again. You give me more blood. In fact, I do have to come back because we're keeping you here. Oh, okay.

So you know what? We'll worry about going back. Fine. I do not mind us keeping COVID-19 antibody people locked up for a while. Thank you. Maybe that could be the new Guantanamo Bay. But we don't send them to Cuba, though. We don't want to send them to Cuba because then they're going to get infected again over there.

That's a good point. But we keep them, I don't know, some more secure, a base. There has to be a base that's going to take them. Plenty of places. Don't worry about it. There's plenty of places we can take them. We'll send them to South Dakota. Okay.

Because that governor, she's pretty awesome and she's hot. I know. By the way, everybody's talking about her and one issue that I'm having with other coverage. Nobody's talking about how cute she is. Right. I know. I have to take it. I watched the video once.

I need you to go. And by the way, she knows how to do it, right? Fisher. I could tell you I have evidence. evidence that she listens to this podcast. Because the due person that is doing the stuff, one, she's actually repeating in sign language what the person, what the governor is saying.

Two, she's easy on the eyes. Now, I'm not saying that she's a perfect 10, but she's better looking at. She was hot. No, I'm not talking about the governor's hot. I'm talking about the person that's doing the same language. Remember because the interpreter? The interpreter.

We have the, the, the, the, the long-haired guy from New York, and then we have the fat girl from Los Angeles. I don't know. There's another. The lady that I'm seeing on the right here is not... Like I said, she's easy on the eyes, but she's not... Oh, she's not. I'm not sure what news report you're looking at, my friend, but not this one.

Christine Nome is the governor of South Dakota. See this report here. I don't care about the new TV show, the wall with Lutz's his face. No, I don't care. I'm not going to watch it. I mean, I'm not going to watch it more than once or twice. All right, where's she at? Okay, there we go.

Stop. Pause. Okay, pause. No, no, my friend. No, what are you talking about? Yeah, she's easy on the eyes. Look at that. She's gorgeous.

No, the governor, yeah. Oh, no, the governor is, you know, understand that it's they I am understanding if you do my friend are thinking that I'm sure she's a nice lady the interpreter but oh no like I said the governor is super hot the interpreter you know compared to what we have which is the guy in New York as you could tell there are some medical checkups that have not been going on during the pandemic, and Chris has not had his eyes checked in that time. So when he says something is easy on the eyes,

you may take that with that little grain of salt that it comes with. Now, I'll leave you with this joke today. I take this one with you. Okay, here we go. I'm going to write it down. A six year, a six year, this was sent to me. I saw this come through from, well, on Facebook, from a man Donald. A six-year-old and a four-year-old are raking the yard.

The six-year-old asks, you know what, I think it's about time we start learning to cuss. The four-year-old nods his head in approval. The six-year-old continues, when we go in for breakfast, I'm going to say something with hell and you say something with ass. The four-year-old agrees with enthusiasm. When the mother walks into the kitchen and asks the six-year-old what he wants for breakfast, he replies, Oh, hell, Mom. I guess I'll have some Cheerios. Wack!

He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up and runs upstairs, crying his eyes out in his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear with every step. His mom locks him in his room and shout, you can stay there until I let you out. And she then comes back downstairs

and looks at the four-year-old and asks with a stern voice, and what do you want for breakfast, young man? The four-year-old, I don't know, but you can bet your first. fat ass, it won't be Cheerios. Good night. Thank you.

Be here all week. Tip the waitress. Anna.
