And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Yes, it's Fat Pile Friday. Yes, we're still in the CQB. Welcome to it. You look tremendous today. I don't care. I don't care.

I know, I know, I know. You've worn the same t-shirt for three or four days. I get it. You're wearing the same socks. I understand. And the t-shirts long enough so you're not putting pants on. You just got the undies on. I get it.

It's fine. Don't worry about it. It's locked down. Locked out. You're fine. You're not going to answer the door if somebody comes to the door anyway. You're just going to let them hang out there and leave a message or just leave. So you're fine.

You look great just the way you are. I mean that. Okay? I mean that. Remember, I don't know. It was a long time ago now. What year are we in again? Oh, yeah, 2020.

So it was some time in the past, I don't know how many years ago. When they talked about finding pig bones, cow bones at Stonehenge, and they said that that was a big barbecue party. People used to show up and have big barbecues in the spring or the winter or whatever, and that was what Stonehenge was. Well, now we find out that Stonehenge is actually. the precursor to Legos. Okay? Now, what they really did is that some guy

climbed up on top of one of the hinges, stones, whatever the hell it is. And on the top, they've got two points where it protrudes up, and then it's got holes in it too. So it looks like they actually had, you know, you were putting other

stones or hinges on top of those. So stone hens might be the bottom you know, the foundation of some barbecue pit or party house or something like that. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. But Legos is taking the credit. So you know what? Go ahead.

I want Smithfield pork to take credit for the barbecue. Legos could take credit for the protruding marks of the holes on the top of the hinges or stones. Let's just have a party. That's what needs to happen. We just need to have a party. All right, it's Fat Pile Friday. So, I mean, why's well get started. Do some headlines throwing in the Fat Pile.

I mean, I quickly did a quick headline page, and I thought, well, I'll just go through it and see. I didn't even, you know what? This is how much I'm into these headlines today. I'm just giving to you. I haven't even read them before I'm giving to me you. You and I are not. and enjoy them for the first time together.

Okay. New York Governor Andrew Bullen said state residents are required to wear a mask or face covering in public when socially distancing isn't possible. Now, I'm not quite sure when that is, but now we have the entire state. You can't go anywhere without wearing a mask. Okay. Gee, thanks, Andrew. Appreciate it.

Appreciate it. It means a lot to be. Bill Gates tweeted that President Trump's decision to halt. aid to the who during the global health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds. Is it, Bill? How much money you got, Bill?

How much money is in that deep pocket of yours? I'm sure you've lost a few bucks here in the pandemic, but you're doing okay. How about you give the who a little bit, some cash? How about you take over what we give? I'm fine with that. Okay? Thank you.

You do that. The LA Times said advertising revenue has been nearly eliminated. It announced furloughs for business-side employees. That's happening in businesses all over America. But now it's the LA Times, so I guess it's a big deal. What do you think? Do you think the corner bar that advertises on the radio station is advertising now?

Hey, stop by when the pandemic's over and when we can open up and have a drink with us. we're going to be here for you when things open up. But we don't know when that is. We had to get rid of all our employees and everything's collecting dust. I can't pay my bills or anything. But stop by. Those are the companies that keep radio stations and newspapers and magazines alive. And you've shut them down.

It's no wonder. I mean, President Trump knows, but we have to start opening things up. He gave us his plan yesterday, and we'll break that down a little bit. But I broke down the plans yesterday what it is, and it's basically the same thing all over. If you think you can open back up, you can open back up, but you've got to do it slowly. And you've got to, you know, this can't open yet, but this can open. And then we've got to see if this works, when this works. It is looking like my July 4th prediction is going to be right.

Because if they start May 1st and every, every, every, every, little step is at least a month, right? You've got three or four steps, May, June, July. By July 4th, we should be opened back up again. Incredible. Zoom, House Party, said it added 50 million new users over the past month, and we're part of that. We're part of that.

Join us for our virtual, what do we call it again? Dude, you have to remember the name. It's the CTF virtual happy hour. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the virtual. You know, where we get together on Zoom. So we send out the link for the happy hour. I just do that to make you so angry. This is awesome.

It makes me happy. Oh, it makes me happy to do it. I am glad that my suffering, you know, I did tell you that I want recognition, appreciation, not frustration, and whatever you're giving me right now. Oh, I know. You never said that.

You just said you want a recognition. An appreciation. I know that or something like that. Whatever. I don't remember what it was. But yes, the CTF virtual happy hour, where clothing is optional, and we're just going to talk to each other,

walk us off the edge or on the edge or off the edge or to the side of the edge. Yeah, I want to see how things are going in your neck of the woods. Yeah, to know. local area tonight at six central five eastern i don't know which one is it six central seven eastern seven eastern that's still uh at six central that's 11 p.m iceland iceland so if you're in iceland it's 11 p.m. and in cambodia it's like six o'clock in the morning figure it out yeah you got to get up early if you're in cambodia or a laos yeah you've got to get up early

yours is on saturday but us we us we still on friday which You in the future. So if you see anything that's going to hurt us in the future, you have to let us know. Thank you. I don't want to throw the curve off or anything about, you know, history, but you're going to have to let us know. Yeah. You know, we did talk about, you know, time travel on Monday. But I feel that if you're going to, you know, join us from the future, which is Cambodia,

then you have to let us know if anything bad is coming. Like, I don't know, a meteor, more coronavirus. you have to let us know. You have to let us know. It's a law. It's a law. It's a law. It's a law.

It's a law. You have to tell us. And if you know the winning numbers for the lotto, might as well throw that in there. Because... Uh, yes. That might as well. That is part of the deal.

Oh, that's another law? Is that an addendum to the first law? Like section B? In fact, that may even jump ahead. Okay. Okay. The media warning. Okay.

I almost care less about the meteor hitting us than I want the lotto numbers. Yeah, but here's the thing. But how about they tell us if the meteors is coming then the lotto? Because if the meters is coming and they give the lot of number first, do you even care? That's my point. No, I don't. Okay. Okay.

But anyway, you have to tell us that's a lot. Lama's goats and other farm animals will make an appearance on our Zoom call for less than $100. Hey, can we, we need to make that happen. If you, and I'm not going to pay Zoom 100 bucks to have a llama show up for my company Zoom call. But let's say you're going to join our Zoom call and you have llamas. Or you have a zebra at the backyard. Or you have a camel up front. You need to share that with us.

You know what? That's another law. I want animals. I like that. And you just gave me a nice business idea. I'm going to talk to my father-in-law. He has kangaroos. He has ghosts.

And you tell me that people are paying to have an animal in the Zoom calls? Yes. Oh, that. Okay. Fisher, I know. If I don't come back on Monday, I just started a brand new business of a backup Monday. Yeah, I don't know if I'm going to come back on Monday. From Friday to Monday, if I make that much.

Much money. It's restricted. Where are you going? You can't go anywhere. Travel is restricted. Yeah, I'm going to go and start my new business. Kangaroo Zoom. For a hundred bucks, my kangaroo can show up on your Zoom and fight.

You have no idea how I want a kangaroo about this Zoom call tonight. You want one? Yes, broly. Okay. The kangaroo will be there. I mean, when you think of kangaroos, I think, like, it's a, I was looking, I watched a video the other her dad got, went down some YouTube wormhole.

And one of the videos was a lady at her farm where there were, she had kangaroos and the kangaroo was in the stall. And she was trying to get the kangaroo to go outside. And the kangaroo was angry at her for something and wouldn't go outside the stall. So that's what she, of course, videos and talks about the kangaroo. When he put his paw, and I guess that's what you call him kangaroo paws, over the fence in that stall. That's big.

Yeah, the two kangaroos that... The two kangaroos that my father-in-law has, they're still young, but when they hop, the ground vibrates. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they're not like little buddies. No, no, no, no, they're not.

Oh, absolutely not. But like I said... I was amazed. I mean, the other reason I went back and watched that video more than once because I was amazing how big this damn kangaroo was. If that's his part, think about his. New York and other East Coast states extended closures to non-essential businesses

until May 15th. So we still have some places and not even going to start up the 1st of May. Okay. All right. Good luck. God bless. And the UK's lockdown is also going to last at least three more weeks.

Well, on that one, you kind of make sense on the UK. UK has very open borders. So, and the mayor is not really doing anything in there. I don't even know why they have a mayor. UK? Yeah, the mayor of the UK.

Yeah, the mayor of the UK. The UK actually just have a mayor. They have a mayor, yes. Yes, they have a mayor. Yeah, UK has some weird laws, man. Some weird government officials of the year. That's why they're a mayor. That's why no one's there.

Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook employees can work from home. And in this story, in this headline, it says WFH through the summer. And the company won't hold large physical events until July 2021. So my July 4th prediction is correct. Only I'm thinking July 4th, 2020, no, July 4th, 2021. Wow. So, yeah, I'm seeing a lot of 2021. I want to know why is everybody pushing everything to 2021.

We're just shut down 2020? Dude, that sucks. 2020 is supposed to be the year of the vision, the year of enlightenment. It is? Yeah, 2020, eyesight. Okay. Can you get with the program? Like, why aren't we today?

Today we're not in sync, and I'm very upset about that. We're not synced up today. Like, what is going? GM Ford signed a new 330. 36 million dollar contract to produce 50,000 ventilators for the US government. 336 million bucks for 50,000 ventilators? Okay. All right.

Get them out. Let's go. Let's get them going. I do have a question about that. But the end of this coronavirus, are we going to have a ventilator wasteland? Yes. Like we have a airplane. wasteland in California

in the Mojave. Did I mention that on the podcast? I know I talked about it somewhere to someone about that. I don't know if I mentioned it on too in the fat. But at some point, right, you're going to have, there's going to be ventilators up the side of the road.

Yeah. If all the movies are correct and this is the pandemic that takes civilization, this is a part of the movie where we're driving down the street and all of a sudden we see ventilators everywhere. People aren't going to have old

refrigerator in the backyard. It's going to be old ventilators in the backyard. Yeah. And all the cars are going to have ventilator parts because there's no more mechanic. Order this week and we'll throw in a ventilator from the pandemic. Yes, it was used, but it's clean. I don't understand.

Like, I get that ventilators are very important during this pandemic, but I don't understand that all these companies are making ventilators and we're still short of ventilators. I need to know where these ventilators are going. I mean, some of them, I guess all of them, I mean, we hope that all of them will work, right? I don't know, maybe a couple of them don't. So we send some to some places and some of them don't work. How many other making?

Well, GM and Ford signed a new contract $33,000 contract to produce 50,000 ventilators. That's a lot of money. But 50,000, I say maybe 10,000 a state. So, okay. That's enough, right? That's enough, right? 10,000 per state?

I don't know. No, that's not enough. Is it? No, that's not enough. I mean, I hope so. I hope it is with the ventilators that we already have. And didn't we find ventilators inside our coffin? Oh, no, those were masks.

no surprise we found a mess inside a coffin in new york okay i'm just figuring i'm just trying to figure this out because i feel that pretty soon instead of being overrun by the population we're going to be overrun by ventilators yes i agree and i'm sure i feel like we talked about it before on the podcast but i mean yeah absolutely 100% there's no at some point and not too long from now there's going to be a plethora a plethora of a plethora of that's a lot of ventilators. Can I quote you on that? Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Morgan Stanley capped big bank earnings this week with a 30% drop in profit. Good for the, I mean, sad news for Morgan Stanley. You can't. The banks are just hoarding money now bastards. Instacart and Costco are partnering for

prescription drug delivery. Isn't that, isn't that a, a drug dealer? Can you just go to my park? There's like two of them right now. I don't know if you know this, but my due name, Instacart. Instacart, okay. Okay. It's my rap name. Instacart. Ooh, I like that.

I like that. That's what I do here. I don't know why. By the way, I do want to, you said Instacart and who? Costco. Okay, good. Because I'll tell you this. I shouldn't know the joke is actually, no, not who.

It's Costco. I will say this. Kroger better not get that. Kroger sucks at pickup. Really? I don't understand. So, I'm a big, I'm a big Instacart person. I've been using it for at least four years.

Okay. I'm a big pickup. I love picking up my app. I scan it at my house. And next thing I know, you know, Juan at Walmart is getting it for me. and Juan does a great job. And I know, Jeff, if you ever done Walmart, Walmart, if you're a substitution. So, for example, if I want great value chicken, no, great value cheese, and it's 99 cents.

And if they run out, guess what they're going to do? They're going to upgrade you and give you two for free or the same price. Really? Yes. Wow, that's, I mean, that's great. Walmart has it to the, completely. completely he didn't know what they're doing well Kroger's closer and Walmart now has dropped instead of doing you know any time you can only go on Tuesdays and Thursdays yeah Walmart's

really frustrating and I'll tell you this is no I'm going to take just a side side road here for just a second I'll come back to Kroger because I want I want to hear about their about their pickup and delivery service but like we went to order something uh order a big order at Walmart not long ago and I ordered we ordered We set up a time. All right. So we reserved a time that we decided we're going to pick up our groceries at, which was, you know, like four days from now, four or five days from now.

Unbelievable. Whenever it was, whatever it was. It was down the roadways and it was a certain time. And then we go back and we place our order. Yep. At the end of our order, they tell us our time is not available. What? No.

No, you reserve that. Yeah, you don't give that away. You already reserved it. Yes, yes. Yes. You can't give it to somebody else when we're in the middle of ordering. That's very dushy because I guess that's the only thing Kroger has gone for them. Where that is your time until you hit completion.

I was so angry. Oh, I'll be angry too. I'll be angry too. So we went to Kroger because I do not like the new Walmart system, which is fine. You know Walmart you're doing good. But step it up. Kroger sucks

Now mind you Fisher That before this pandemic They were charging 799 For you to pick up For you to pick up $7 no $7.00 or $499 No wonder they remodeled all their stores

With 85,000 pickup parking spaces And did the whole front end Right Right So I didn't realize they were charged That long They were charging before They were charging before

Now, if you look at it, it just says, you know, waive fee, but I believe the fee will be coming back. The fee still there. The fees, oh, yes, you get charged. They may be waiving it. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes. And when you come to pick them up, half of the items are out of stock. They do not do replacement for like how Walmart does it. Well, even if I can't, I, I'm okay. I would be okay with Proger not giving it to me for free. You know, like you said, I don't know. They should actually, at least maybe the...

A tent. Juanita or Millie, who's running the house picking up your groceries. Here's where I have the issue with that Juan and Juanita work for Walmart. I got Sharon and Ashley working at Kroger and they do not know how to shop for people. Right. Because, Jeffrey, I got the order. I got pissed because... But that's my point.

Because they, just a second, hold on, I want to be sure I have an understanding because that's my point. All right, so if I order at Walmart, and like you said, I order great value cheese and they're out. Okay, so do they give you Landau Lakes cheese? They give me that one and give me two. And they don't charge you or they charge you great value price. See, now I would say, and that's nice of Walmart to do. But I would say as if I'm Kroger, I say you want the Kroger brand cheese. We're out.

All I have is Landlake's cheese. Okay. So I put it on there as Landlake's cheese because we're out of Kroger. And then you decide whether you want it or not, but we're going to charge of the price of whatever it is. Yeah, and that's fine. That's completely fine. But the problem that I'm having with Kroger is that as soon as I get out of the vehicle and go inside the Kroger store, boom, the items are there. Well, how the hell is it not available to you picking it up then?

I feel that Ashley and Sharon are not taking my order very seriously. No kidding. Are they shopping? Do they have a basement where they have pickup orders? That's where they shop from. They don't shop on the main floor. I guess because I literally yesterday I went down on. I was like, okay, fine.

I was like, there's no way white people are buying this ingredient because white people don't use this ingredient. I don't even know this ingredient exists. So I went down the Hispanic aisle. Boom. Jeffie, kid you not, it almost jumped at me and punched me in the face. Same thing. Same thing with a cascade, you know, dishwasher soap. It was literally jumping out of, like, get in my cart.

Wow. So the people that they are hiring the shop are not paying attention, not doing what they're supposed to be doing. And by the way, I went in there yesterday and, That's too bad. They have a sign. As a former store manager of a grocery store, I don't know if you know this. I used to work for a grocery store.

Yeah. Kroger, did you work for Kroger? Yeah, in Florida, with Dixie. Oh, okay. I would just say that that also goes up to the store manager's problem. Absolutely. He used to oversee that.

And by the way, the biggest problem I have right now? I apologize for immediately thinking that it was going to be a key. Whoever the store manager is, he, she or it or her or that, whatever the hell way I, identify as these to take over, take the bull by the horns on that. It's your store. And by the way, there's signs, brand new signs all over the store, like brand new signs of like where do you stand, follow these dots, do not get too close to the person.

And as a big sign in the front says, we have reduced the customers allowed inside the store by 50%. Okay. I don't know what that means because there was no one checking at the door. Now, they did add one new job, which is the person that cleans the chopping cards. Now, there's that. There's two ladies. There's two ladies on each side.

One sprays the cart. The other one wipes the car. Sprays the car, wipe the car. Sprays the car. Sprays the car is a pretty cool. How much fun is that job? Oh, and, you know, I feel so bad for them. I was like, here's $2.

Thank you. But can you wipe mine down a little bit more because you miss a spot? There's two bucks. going to clean mine again that's hilarious and did you see speaking of grocery stores do you see where Landa Lakes

and they most definitely could do it they're a private company they could do what they want but Landy Lakes just without any fanfare or anything which I really kind of don't blame them you know don't make a fanfare out of it but they just took the Indian lady

off the packages I no longer will be buying any other products until So I get the Indian lady back. That Indian lady was made the butter and all those ingredients better than everybody else. I think so too. But the product is still actually the same. It's just the packaging.

No, you remove, by the way, if you think about it, best way right now is to go to Kroger or Walmart or all these people, get the box with the Indian lady because that's going to be history. sure is. I thought about that this morning as I was reading the story. I was like, do we have anything land of lakes in this house? I can't remember if we do or not right now. Because I'm sure that it still has the Indian lady on. The last time I bought Land DeLakes product and had the Indian lady on it. But it was made because, you know what? The guy who designed it and put it on there was he did it as a source of cultural pride. Oh, so it wasn't quite a lady was on there. So it wasn't cultural appropriation? Yeah, no, it wasn't, hey, we hate Ojibwe Indians. Let's put this lady, I think her name was Maya or Bia, M-I-A, the Indian lady. And let's just put her out of the package because we hate Indians.

No, it didn't work that way. So I'm on the Kroger website to schedule a pickup. And according to their app, the only one that still has the Indian lady, everybody else took it off, is the Landau Lake's half steak salted butter 16 ounce everybody else does not have the everything else is gone everything else is gone yeah so they oh no hold on the Landolady's butter soft squeeze bread

yeah I was going to say if that the squeeze one somebody buys the squeeze one yeah that one still has except it's the pandemic so everybody's buying everything in the dairy house so it's probably all gone now but if you have what's your face, Mia, the Ojibwe Indian lady. Savor. Saper.

Sager package. Keep it. It's going to be worth big money or not, but you'll be able to say you have a package with an Indian. So earlier this week, we did a story on CNN. from the CNN website that I told you, you know, it was just an old story. They just dated it, new, made it seem like it was a brand new story, but it was really an old story.

I believe it's happened again. I believe it's happened again. They did a, they have a story about a potentially habitable exoplanet, similar sizes and temperature to Earth. I'm sure that we did this story at least a year ago. Sure we did. It's the exoplanet Kepler 1649C orbiting around its host red dwarf star. I remember saying, I remember talking about a red dwarf star.

I just do. And, you know, okay, you know what? If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But I'm telling you CNN is trying to pull our legs with their websites. Just refurbish some old stories, make them seem new. and the good thing about this new exoplanet is that it's only 300 light years away from us. So it's right there. I mean, we'll be able to zip in and zip out in no time.

Why is it such a big deal that they want to limit our alcohol consumption during this lockdown? It's becoming more and more frustrating to me and I don't even drink. I don't even drink anymore Because I see where The masses You can't control them Well they're drunk They're not predictable

But if you keep them drunk They pretty much do what you want though Right That would be my theory As a As a As a dictator want to be You want some of the masses

To be drunk Huh Yeah Keep them drunk Okay Anyway I just I don't understand I see where the

Who Who? Who? Who? Thank you. The World Health Organization recommends limits on alcohol consumption during lockdown. This is another reason why Trump cut them off. Yeah.

Stop with your students. And drunk. Trump doesn't drink. Trump doesn't drink. So he's like, no more money for you. But these are the same people that are telling us to eat bugs. So do we really care what they say? Okay.

No, we don't. But remember the state of things. Pennsylvania, which owns all the liquor stores in the state, which is really strange. That is strange. They shut them down. Yeah, the state owns all the liquor stores in Pennsylvania. Huh. So they shut the stores down.

Uh-huh. So people in Pennsylvania that live down the borders of Pennsylvania, like where I used to live, we could zip into New Jersey. You know, I went into New Jersey every day to hop the train to go into New York. I would have bought my liquor there in New Jersey. Well, people were doing that on the other side of the state, too. Zipping into Ohio, buy the liquor in Ohio, zip back to Pennsylvania. Now Ohio is shutting down out-of-state sales.

So now they're limiting. Not only, the state of Pennsylvania has shut the businesses down. They own it, all right? For whatever reason, and I haven't read a good enough fact check on. how that became a thing where the state owned the liquor stores. But now in Ohio, they're telling liquor stores what business they can and get. Well, you can remain open, but you can't sell to those people. By the way, you do not want to piss off a drunk.

Right. Or the suburban mom and her wine club. Well, you still get wine. Oh, okay. Right, wine is not considered liquor. Okay, I'm pretty sure of that. So I'll stand corrected. You do not want to piss off the drugs.

Yeah, because you can get beer and wine at the grocery store. But you can't get, you know, a bottle of jack or... If I cannot get my bottle of Jack or my bottle of... Give me another one. Give me another one. Just whatever vodka that you want. vodka or rum or whiskey. I am...

I am furious. Right. Man, I miss drinking. I miss smoking. I miss smoking. I miss drinking. By the way. I see Martha Stewart was still drinking. She's about 100 now. I'm still right. If you think about it, you drank and smoked at the wrong time. You should have that for now. Right? I still have like, what, 18 years? 18 years left before I had smoke. Yes. I don't like that? It's going to be a long 18 years. I may have to redo my contract on that.

Reminder to subscribe to chewing the fat. Reminder to subscribe to chewing the fat. Reminder to subscribe to chewing the fat. Thank you. We're done. Good night. Have a nice day. So I'll let you know that you need to subscribe to chewing the fat.

I don't care what platform you use. I really don't. I don't care what platform you use. Now, most people prefer Android. So you do iHeart radio or Stitcher or Spotify. I guess there's a few people out there that use, you know, Apple products. So, you know, you can subscribe on iTunes. You mean half of this country?

I'm sorry? Half of this country. Less than half. Half of this country. Less than half. I've shown you the math. Do the math. No, I showed you the math.

No, I showed you. I remember we had this. The world is Android leading. But the United States is Apple leading. And Apple now is trying to reach the world because they've made their little iPhones cheaper. We're going to have a little cheap iPhone just for you, for you regular people out there. It all do a little cheaper iPhone. By the way, that upsets me so much.

I file that under Third World Countries should not have airports. That's where I filed that under. Third world countries should not have airports, but we're pissed about the cheap iPhone. Yes, because that's the same thing. We're trying to give iPhones to everybody. They don't know the value of an iPhone until you pay $3,000 for an iPhone. You should not be allowed to own an iPhone. Let's go to the coronavirus numbers worldwide.

2,214,461 total cases. 148,979 total deaths worldwide. In the United States of America, 680,541 total cases, 34,723 deaths as of this recording. Let's go to the TSA checkpoint travel numbers. Yesterday, wow, people are starting to travel again. We dropped down three days ago, to 87,534 people through the TSA turnstile.

And that was the lowest number really ever. Incredible. So we're under 90,000. Then the day before, we creeped back up to 90,000. And then today, we're back up to, yesterday, we're back up to 95,000. Wham, whack. So people are starting to travel. Now, I will say that yesterday is a big travel.

day last year too. Because every day a year ago was over two million. But last year yesterday was one of the highest over two million

$2,616,000. So you were so there is a inflation on travel on Thursday. On the 16th. Yes. On April 16th there's an inflation of travel for whatever reason.

Well, they just got done celebrating tax day on April 15. So it's time to go. So it's people trying to get back home after celebrating tax day. Yeah. All right. I'll give you that. We have some coronavirus headlines. We've got to get to some of these that I don't know if we can get through them all.

I mean, there's just so many. We have the story that everybody's talking about with the guy that bought 10,000 sanitizers and toilet papers and tried to get a refund and now he can't get a refund. because here's just another example of someone buying the products, seeing the future, thinking he was going to make some money, and now because it's called gouging, he can't sell them. I mean, why can't he just sell them for the regular price? Go out on the street corner.

If the shelves are empty in the stores, he can certainly sell them out front for regular price and get his money back. I don't have to return it to the store. It's just silly. I don't know why that's such a big deal. I see where Amazon is going to begin allowing third-party sellers to resume shipping non-essential items again. I want to thank Amazon for reminding me that they can decide what is essential, what is not essential for me.

Coming to a country near you soon, headline I've had in the fat pile for a while now. Jordan, yes, the country, Jordan, arrested TV executives for airing a virus complaint. So that'll be happening in a country near you very soon. Count on it. Count on it. I see where Italy is all wound up because the mafia has been distributing food to the struggling people in the cities. Yeah, that's what the mafia does. Hello, it's what they do.

They help people out in tough times. And, you know, I may call on you when I need a favor or I may not. Just be prepared. All right, but here's some food for you. You take care. You go feed your family. I'm here for you. Okay?

Take care. If I need something from you in the future, though, you're going to give it to me. Best Buy furlowing 51,000 hourly employees. Now, while that sounds like a huge amount of people, and it is, and it is horrible if you're one of the 51,000, no question about it. but they still are going to employ, that's only like 5% of their employees. So they still have 95% of their employees left. So they're hanging in there.

They were saying that the first couple weeks were really good of the pandemic. And then that's just all calmed way down. Yeah, that was me. The first week, that was me. That was when I realized, oh, crap, my home studios doesn't have what I, need. Let me go to Best Buy and do curb pickup. Right. And I think when the first pandemic happened,

they stayed open, but they was just curb pickup, right? Yeah, yeah. Because we talked about it. We got, we talked about that. Also, it looks like the U.S. Postal Service, is it more trouble than usual. And I don't like seeing it. I don't like to see it. Maybe we have to start to go fund me. We have to do something to help the Postal Service.

They got a little money, but not enough. And I know Donald Trump is not a big fan of the Postal Service, but he should be. I know Trump has said, oh, Amazon's delivery boy. Yeah. That's what they, so what? Well, they should charge Amazon more money. Well, okay. Then if they do that, then you're asking.

Amazon boy, who you hate, by the way, will just go out and start delivering it himself. And so then the post office gets nothing. I don't know. Really what needs to happen is I need to be put in charge of the postal service. And we'll turn this thing around. I don't know why they keep denying me my offer of being in charge of the postal service. But I will turn that boat around.

I will turn that boat around. I want it to be postmaster general forever, but now I've decided I just want to be on the board of governors, and we'll turn this ship around. Okay? I mean, you're welcome. You're welcome. Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.

All right, a couple things. We have Ricky Jervais's afterlife to look forward to next week. I know it's all the way to the end of next week, but I am excited for season. to of afterlife and that drops next week so we've got a week of i almost said the word and i'm not going to say it just know that there's other shows to watch on other platforms and you can do that before next week and i won't mention that particular platform i see where a study you're going to hold on why you're going to mention it because i was just going to tell you i've been playing fortnight for

pretty strong for the last week. Like I'm talking about minimum five hours every single day for the last. Really? Yes. Wow. And I realized that Are you playing with the family and stuff?

Everybody hooked up together on Fortnite? Everybody's hooked up. I got my sister in Alaska. Well, I bet you there. Pause for a second. I want to hear about the family hookup, but I bet you that gets me too. I bet you Fortnite is doing really well.

Oh, absolutely. during the lockdown with people not being able to be together because of what you're doing. Yeah, well, so what I'm doing is I have my sister in Alaska and her husband, we both play. Then Milo started playing and he's like pretty good at it. So that's Georgia. Then I have my sister-in-law and my brother in Florida and then me and my wife in Texas. Incredible. So you're all getting together and community.

and communicating inside of Fortnite. That's great. Every night at 7 Central, everybody meets up at Fortnite. Do you meet up at a park inside Fortnite? Here's what we meet. We meet at the theater because, and the reason why I picked 7 o'clock Central is because every top of the hour, Quibi partners with Fortnite and they play an episode of something in Quibi

on that TV on the theater. I'm so sick of you talking about Quibi. Oh, I can't believe you. I am. I am so sick. I'm the one. Wow. Wow.

Okay. I'm the one. You disgust me with the metric. But it's so funny because every time I look up, I'm like, oh my God, there's Quibi. And if Fisher knows that Quibi and Fortnite have partner up, he's going to be so mad. Because such a great idea. Because we talked about it. Well, I don't know if it was last year.

or two years ago where Fortnite partnered up with this concert and they were doing a concert. That had a big concert in Fortnite. You could only watch it if you were in Fortnite. And I'm really curious to see after the pandemic, Fortnite numbers, because servers have crashed a couple of times. I believe that. And I don't understand why they're not having concerts. And maybe they are. Maybe I'm just missing the announcements.

But why aren't these groups that can't tour, tour. tour and Fortnite. I don't understand. And by the way, if you think about it, in the last one, two, in the last two weeks, this household could you not at least 100 hours. My son is at 200 hours.

My sister-in-law is like at 500 hours, just playing Fortnite. You need to go outside and play. But this is my outside. No, but you need to go outside. play I'm not talking about being outside inside of fortnight. Oh okay. I'm talking about going outside and playing in the real world. Okay. But I can't wait too much time inside. But I can't kill people in the real world. I can't kill people in

Fortnite and get lots of like more. So as you're at the theater and you're talking to mom, oh you have to be careful. Oh, you have to be careful. Oh, you have to be careful though. Because like, you know, you would you would think there'll be a. understanding of, hey, you know, they're watching something, calm down, you know, don't shoot people. No, there's no understanding. That's great. That's really good. And it's also cool. I love the whole idea of it. It's a good way for everybody to get together and be a part of each other's lives and still be in your inside of a game. It's great. I love it. So there was a study that came out a couple days ago, and amazingly, they paid for the study. They didn't need to pay for the study. They

could have just listened to chewing the fat, because we talked to Michael Fisher, the New York homeless expert on the podcast, who told us that the subways were a major disseminator of the coronavirus in New York City and wondered why they hadn't been shut down. It's also, you know, new area for, not really new, but it's a new place now that there's less travelers on the subway, more homeless people have moved in. Now, MIT did a study. A study money was spent. Someways are a major disseminator of the coronavirus in New York City.

You didn't need a study to tell you that. Just walk down the street. Walk down the street, go down the stairs into the subway. You can pretty much figure that out on your own. Okay. So this week, in the fact, pile. There's one section that is getting

fatter by the day, and I'm going to have to thin it up. I'm going to thin it up right now, and that's the Royal section. Is that the that doesn't really sound like the Royal Sounder that we've had in the past. But hey, it could be the

lockdown Royal Sounder. That's fine. It depends. Who are you talking about? I don't want to get picky or anything. Who are you going to talk about? We did the same sounder for the bit. Are you going to, like I said, who are you going to talk about right now? What kind of role you're talking about? Because if we're going to talk about our royal highness, then...

I read an article about the queen and how she, her morning routine. And I thought, fantastic. Is this morning routine coronavirus or is this her normal routine overall? No, this is normal routine. Okay, okay. No more routine. This still happens. today.

They're messing around. Even with the coronavirus, you know this happens every day. All right. She awakes at 7.30 a.m. As the maid turns on the radio, first thing. No, there's no clapping going on.

It's just, Your Majesty, and turn on the radio. And she listens to BBC Radio's 4's Today program, which, by the way, will never be canceled. Absolutely.

That show, as long as the queen is giving them shoutouts that she listens to them, never be canceled. That show's good forever. The BBC Radio 4's Today program. And she likes to listen to that program while she gets up. And then she gets her cup of tea. She enjoys her cup of tea while the maid starts getting ready for the Royals' daily 8 a.m. bath. What? Now, not only, and you can understand this, you can well understand this,

that the queen would, you just don't throw water in the bathtub with a little soap. It's ready for you, Your Highness. Get your old ass in there. No, no, no, no, no. It's got to be the correct temperature. Get the thermometer that they use for the correct temperature. However, this story doesn't mention the correct temperature. It doesn't say what the queen likes for the temperature.

just talks about the thermometer and it having to be a correct temperature. But it does mention that the water is seven inches deep. Okay. Precisely seven inches. Okay. So that means that once she gets in it with the displacement and the size of her tub, that the seven inches makes it perfect for her. Okay.

Because you've got to figure, depending on who you are, like my water displacement is a little bit more than the queen. That's just a guess. I don't know that that's actually true. True. No, it's true. It's true. Her Royal Highness is like maybe half of your leg.

I don't know that to be true either, but I'm just saying the displacement is a little bit different. And I love the, and then, of course, she, you know, gets her first outfit of the day laid out and takes care of the wardrobe is ready to go. But I really want to know the temperature. It really bugs me. Yeah, I want to know. because you know the maid is in there with a thermometer making sure it is like they even talk about the special wooden case thermometer that they use but they don't mention the temperature what do you think what do you think what do you think i don't know she probably likes it pretty warm so i'm thinking

98 99 i seriously i have i have no idea because i don't know i don't know what um pools water gets pretty warm in the summer and when it gets up in the 80s and 90s it's almost too warm all right so you kind of want it oh she's she's an old lady now though i'm sure the temperature has changed over the years so that would be awesome to look at the book for that made because you know she's logging all this stuff everything that she's doing is being logged right to see the chart of is it going up is it getting is it hotter do we to make the water hotter for the for the queen Yeah. Oh, do we need to make it colder for the queen?

That will be a good. Now I'm pissed, too. What's the temperature? I lost a helper today. She made the queen's water depth seven and a half inches. The queen killed her. And we have to clean it all up. She's dead.

That's what I want. That's what I want in the book. What happened to Millie? Millie was stabbed to death by the queen. She made the tub seven and a half inches deep of water. And the queen murdered her right there in the bathroom. It's over. She should not have let that happen.

You know that happens. You know they've lost help over that. Yes. As the queen dips her toe into the temperature and it was too hot, dead. And if it didn't happen, I'm okay with me thinking that that happened in real life. And then we have, of course, you know, Megan and Harry and Harry and Maggie. And Harry and Maggie and Megan. The failed sense.

It's just incredible. Now they're talking about now where, you know, she's going to give the big interview. They're working on the big record all interview on how life has changed. I wonder what's going to get that. Right? They want money for that. Do we know who's going to get that interview? Is it going to be good morning America?

No, we don't. It's going to be, give me another morning show. I don't know morning shows. The Today show? Actually, it would be surprised if they do a DC-4's Today Show just so they know the Queen will hear it. True. True.

True. But then Oprah would be pissed. I was going to say. And Ellen would be pissed. I was going to say because the top three people I think will want that interview is in this order, Oprah, Ellen, and Gail. Oh, yeah. Oh, no way. Oprah.

Let's Gail get that. Exactly. No way. So the fight. Oprah or Ellen. Yes, yes, because there's no, you know, if, if Gail gets it, you know, Oprah is going to come down and say, It's just that minute. Do you know who made you?

That will not happen. That will not happen. I made you. I have a TV show on Apple TV because it's Oprah talks coronavirus, and I'm going to get it because it's Oprah talks, royal family. And I was the one that was invited to the royal wedding, and I'm the one that is absolutely. Yeah, no way Oprah lets that happen. That will not happen. No way.

I mean, Gail will be outside. Oprah, I just want it. No. But it's good for my right. No. No. I can't know. Why are you continuing to ask me?

Go back to your little network job that I got you and shut your face, all right? Get away from me. And by the way, we've talked about this. So go back last year. We'll meet Jeffrey talk about Oprah and Gail because that was great. So now we also have a, we have a. We have reports that Prince Harry, this is both as well to them breaking up to where he's going to quit hunting over Megan's dislike for the sport. Stop.

So he's given up. I mean, he's had to give up everything. Think about it, Fisher. Not only you have given up hunting, you gave up the silver platter, gold platter, platinum platter, where people, where all you had to do is. And all of a sudden you get a plethora of food and girls and money. You seriously had zero worries. I really wonder what is she holding? What is she holding?

Because I've seen that body without clothes and that's not impressive. So what is she really? Wait. Wait, what? Oh yeah. She was semi-nude. in suits a couple of times where you're saying it wasn't impressive

it was not impressive I think I have to disagree with that have you seen her well not that I could think of but hold on naked I'm using my wife's computer so don't worry about it Megan naked's fine

Megan Markle nude pics they might we'll see if it's actually her oh Oh, wait, that's Scarlett Johansson. Never mind. Oh, yeah, I've seen these. This is bikini shots. I've seen these.

There's a, this is a little rough. You're right. They're a little rough. Yes. There's a, there's a scene in suits where she's, she's kissing the lawyer, a boyfriend, and she gets completely undressed. All she's wearing is underwear. And I was like, there's no way that girl is holding an entire nation hostage.

because that is not impressive. I don't know. These that I'm looking at right here is not terrible. Oh, I'm not saying that she's ugly, but I'm saying that that body is not worth me giving my princehood. It's not me giving away my free money. It's not me giving away. No.

No woman is worth it for me to give my princehood away. Wow Absolutely not Either you love me as a prince Or you don't love me at all I do love you as a prince But you need to give it out I

Like I said Like I said You love me as a prince Or you just don't love me at all I gave you two choices I know baby I know And I do

I love you as a prince I do But you need to change So Okay There's that Grandma, I don't want to be a prince anymore, but two years, I'll be back. Two years, okay?

Yeah. There's no question that's going to happen because now, you know, she's, we're getting a clash of culture stories still, how she shut down the Royals, which we knew already. And by the way. But they're having to sell everything, right? They're having to sell everything. And did you see the story I sent you about. How the queen is sad that the prince is no longer in the country. Right.

I know. She's bummed. And he's, and so, all right. So what did I, what did I say? I gave them, I gave them a year and a half. A year and a half, yes. Okay, so the only way that comes is shorter or longer. Okay.

My time frame for that, I think, changes with her death. I was just going to say that if the queen dies and there's a big fight that Megan, one, doesn't show up to support him or forbids him to go, that's when dad and brother have a sit down and say, Oh, they don't have to. He'll go. There's no way he doesn't go to the funeral. There's no way he doesn't go and take care of that. It just isn't. I don't know.

He's been doing some weird. stuff though he's been doing some weird stuff and remember what Megan wants Megan gets that's his quote that's his quote and think about it think about it right now she has completely cut him off from that side of the family she is poisoning his mind as we speak as we speak that's true as we speak she is filling his mind of look at them didn't give us money. They don't even care about us. And they suck. They wouldn't let me write a book. They're horrible. That for the last six months, her telling him all that, she's going to change his mind and the Harry that they loved will no longer exist. But I do agree that if the queen

dies, well, she has to die. We all die. But when the queen dies, that would be a pivot point of Prince Harry doubled down on staying a citizen or saying screw this, I'm out of here this sucks. I can't work. I'm coming back. That's where I see dad and William

taking him off to the side throwing the arm around the shoulder and said, bro, you need to get your ass back here. Yeah, and if you think about it, I don't think he will leave her while the queen is alive. because once again, we all know the queen is very old-fashioned and she really hates the divorce crap that is happening in her family

because right now there are three divorces in the last two years in her side of the family. So if she, if he leaves her, it will be right after the queen dies so that the queen doesn't get even sadder because now she has another divorce in her family. I'm with you that. I'm okay with that. Plus if they

broke up while she was still alive it would just be tabloids. It would be tabloids. Think about it. That will lead all the news over there that she's doing this

to get back at the queen and then think about it. Megan is not going to leave. Okay. You're leaving me. No, she's going to drag this. She's going to sue. It'll be a nightmare.

It's going to be a nightmare. So I feel that he's already thought it. He is leaving her, but he's going to do it once Grandma dies. I also love the Sarah Ferguson story. Oh, yeah. Well, I've heard cleaning. Such a joke. Give me a break.

All of it is is a promo for her YouTube channel. The whole thing, the whole story is just a promo for her YouTube channel. She's not cleaning her house. No. She's not mopping. I saw that the pictures posted of Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess is cleaning and mopping and broke down in tears because she had to clean. Really, is that true? Because I don't think so.

Because the pictures were taken by her assistant. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. The assistant. Grow a picture of me, sweeping. Oh, I'm not dirty enough? Here, here, sprinkle some water in my face. Sprinkles some water and mess up my hair.

Like, I just woke up. It's ridiculous. But we've got to find a different way to promote my YouTube channel I'm reading the kids because nobody else ever came up with an idea that they could read children books on their YouTube channel for kids. So I came up with the idea thinking of all the children out there that was just in need of a little bit of magic. Oh, that's so sweet.

Actually, why have when we done that? I know. I thought my wife talked to me about that. I actually, and I have another idea. Another great, and I mean this. And this one isn't for Quibi. All right, Quibi, I've still got a couple of show ideas for you and me. Okay, don't worry about it, Quibi. I'm still with you. But I have another idea that I think will be really fun on YouTube.

and it could be worth something could be worth something and you know I might tease it at our CTF virtual what do we call it again? Happy hour!

My gosh, you were so close I was going to be like I could keep my mic off but no no. Can't remember CTF virtual happy hour. Yeah, whatever we're calling it. Tonight, I may tease it tonight at our virtual happy hour. So if you're listening to this live on the 17th of

April, we'll see it tonight at 6 p.m. Central. And if you're listening to the podcast, you'll be able to catch the, you won't be able to join us on the virtual happy hour, but you can watch it again on the YouTube channel. And, you know, after you're done watching the Duchess, Sarah Ferguson mopper floors, you can join us over at the CTF virtual happy hour on the YouTube channel for chewing the fat. have a very weekend, okay? Stay safe, keep the masks on. Make sure you put pants on when you go out to the mailbox.
