And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Welcome to it. Happy, happy Thursday, happy day. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Thanks for coming along for the ride today. Yes, we are still in the COVID-19 quarantine bunker, the CQB. No, no timetable as to when we get out of the bunker. I know we were talking about, you know, restrictions being loosened up a little bit,

but we haven't had any updates on when the bunker gets on tide. But today does start Ramadan. So we've got to fast all day, only can eat at night. I can only watch porn at night. I can only watch TV at night. I can't talk to anyone. Isn't that the way Ramadan works? Right?

You don't know? Seriously, you don't know about Ramadan? So it means food and drink, including water, are not allowed during daylight hours for the entire month. Smoking, sex also banned. It's viewed as an opportunity for devotion, reflection, celebration of mercy and love of Allah. I mean, it's actually, if you believe this is your month. This is your month to really prove that you believe. And put yourself into the world of prayer.

and find yourself. So it starts today. It's based on the lunar cycle. I don't know how we're going to be doing it with the social distancing rules. Don't they have a giant trek that they go on, right? Isn't that part of Ramadan or is that another party? Dude, just because I'm brown,

it doesn't mean I know about Ramadan. Stop asking me questions. I don't know. No. Wait. What? I'm not those kind of brown people. I had nothing to do with it. I am, I am hurt that you would think that's why I was asking you. I just thought that you were informed about it. Your skin color had absolutely nothing to do with it and I won't apologize for asking you a question about it. Right. That hurts. That hurts. Okay, so I'm getting ready for the show today.

I see an ad that I think, could that be true? Okay, so the ad is for a new manscaping trim. Which, of course, we all need during the pandemic lockdown because we're not seeing any hairstylists or any body stylists. We're not getting any manis. We're not getting any petties. We're not getting any of that, right? No one is hot-waxing anything.

All of it. What's that? Nobody is hot-waxing anything. Yeah. Not unless you're doing it with all. Or are you doing it on the underground, you know, hot walking? Right. You know, like, what was that lady from the mayor that said, I have hygiene, you know.

Yes. Yeah, the Chicago mayor. Yes. Right. So unless you're her and you bring them in, you know, through the back door and then you have them come out through the side window. Yeah. And by the way, this is a business idea. And are you probably going to talk about this?

But how the stupid mayor or governor of New York. said get job as an essential worker? No, he's completely wrong. What you need to do, you need to hurry up, get your stylist license, get your hot walks license, get your trimming license, and as soon as the pandemic opens, you just start cutting and waxing everybody. That's not a bad. We talked about it before. I mean, that's what they should be doing. And they should be not only the shops are still going to be hurting, right, because people are still questioning whether they want to go out. So you just start knocking on doors, passing out flyers, all of it.

I will come to you. Yep. And then you make them feel nice and safe that look. I'll come to you. I have this bubble suit that, you know, it's one layer if you don't trust me. But if you want it still do it yourself, this is why I'm thinking about the advanced skin safe technology tremor for manscaping. But what the whole thing, the whole, you can get order today to get 20% off.

It's an exclusive deal. if you read the Morning Brew email. But in the email, the ad, it talks about last year, there were 171,000, this is according to the ad now, there were 171,321, reported ER visits related to personal grooming injuries. Oh, oh. Oh.

See, this is why, you know, you don't let the wife shave you or wax you. You know, you try to do yourself. And if you can't get to that, you know, that crevice, just let it go. You know, maybe do some yoga. According to the end, this is why you need the Nick free, snag free. Oh, okay. All right, sorry.

Waterproof and shock resistant. Oh, okay. Rechargeable. Oh, hold on, hold on. Go back. Go back. Because I feel that everything that they're anti. Those are all these stories.

that went to the ER. All right, so start from the top. What do you mean? It's waterproof and shock resistance. Okay, so that means... So that means... So that means someone plugged in the trimmer, the head trimmer, and then went to the shower,

and as soon as that water touched the thing, the guy just... That's what I mean? Because my... I just want to go on record as saying that my tremor, I'm not sure if it's waterproof or not. It's rechargeable, and it doesn't... You know, I can use it without having it plugged in.

Okay. And do. But I don't... don't know that it's waterproof so like I don't I can you use it in the shower can you use it in the shower next time you go shave your face and see if it works you want me to leave a plugged in just to see yeah yeah leave it leave it plug in and then just shave your face and then give us a full report how many times you got shocked because where our bathroom now they are in the closet that is on the other side of the shower there's a plug just around the corner so I could

I might be able to plug it in and pull it into the shower that it would reach. Not sure. I have to try that out. Okay. See if it worse. But it's because this particular manscaping skin-safe technology has got the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which I think I have. I think I have those lithium battery. Anyway, I found it hard to believe.

I mean, amazing. Think of that. 171,321 ER visits for personal grooming injuries. Now, could that have been a bigger cut than usual on your legs, shaving your legs? Could that, could you have cut your toes shaving hair on your toes? Okay, hold on. I don't feel like that's what they're talking about when they go to the ER. I feel it was that crevice that they try to reach and yoga did not extend that well?

I'm trying to be nice. I'm trying to be nice. So 171,000, they can't all be crevice related. Okay. They cut your face too hard. You cut your neck, you cut your leg. Gotta be other things, right? Then crevice related.

Anyway, I just found it. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. I just found it amazing. There was 171,000. That's how we remember that the story that we did that we broke down injuries and between males and females. And shaving was one of the top ones. Yes, it was. Yeah.

Yes, it was. So see, they're not, it's not. And it didn't say in that story that they were all crevice related. No, no, but it did have some toes and some legs, body part injury. Most of it was head. Yeah, most of it was head. So you were scraping your, you were scraping your face. And I'm sorry, if you are still figuring out how to shave, baby, just wait into the country reopens and go visit Marge.

And she will get you the hot towel. It'll be okay. It'll be okay. You can live without a haircut. Yes. You can live with the gray hair. Yes. You can live with it.

It'll be okay. I saw some star on her Instagram account that they were promoting saying, oh, she'd be showing us her little fix so the gray doesn't show. All it is is she's painting her hair. She's got a spray can of paint. I forget what it was called. She's got like three little can. That's what she uses.

And she just sprays the body. She combs her hair to the part, and you see the gray is coming out from the roots. And she's just painting her bald spot. She's just painting the gray hair. big deal. Congratulations. You look great. Stop it.

So I also saw, and you are, of course, flying to Florida. Yeah, and about, from the time of this recording, about an hour, I am leaving. Okay. So I saw it last night how they're planning on perhaps making airplanes look in the future. Oh, okay, okay, okay. All right. Does everybody get their own little bubble? Well, almost.

Almost. But I was looking at it thinking, I don't think it's going to be that way. They're going to have to have some way to block the view. So what they're saying is the middle seat will be turned around. All right. The middle seat faces the other direction. All right. And then the middle seat is wrapped in like a plastic cove.

Okay. All right. So there's like a plastic backing behind the two seats that are. facing one direction and then it wraps all the way around the seat that faces the other direction that's your shield that's your food shield from the buffet all right it's still open air up above yeah but the sides are blocked i can't turn and cough on bill yes but it's wide i mean it's clear you know kind of smoked shadowy plexiglass or whatever whatever it's made out of but no way they're going to have to have some kind of some kind of curtain or something that you can

close you're not going to because otherwise the two people can turn right or left and stare right at the face of the person sitting the other direction and the two people facing forward are going to be looking straight into the face of the one person's facing the other direction they've got to some way to block each other off right they have to have to because when you listen in the if you fly if you fly in some of the airlines that have first class seating where it's the the figure eight seating where you sit in it. It's like your little booth. Yeah. Yeah. And then the other booth is wrapped around facing the other direction.

There's like a slide that you can pull, so I don't have to look at the other person unless I'm traveling with that person. Right? If I'm traveling with that person, I open it. I want to look at it and talk to them. But if I'm not traveling with them, I want to close because, you know, they get a little angry. It feels like the model that the model that was sitting across from me on my flight from Southwale. Africa and to London. Ever so often, I just pulled back the curtain. Hey, how are you doing over there? Was she giving that look of like, girl, leave me alone?

Like, stop undressing me. Are you keep opening the curtain? Yeah, yeah. But it's funny. I just want to say, I see everything okay over here? It's funny you say that because, you know, I'm going to give you, since you giving me that news, I'm going to give you an update on my flight. My flight now is overbooked.

Remember a couple of days ago? Cancel your original flight? because there wasn't enough people. So my original flight that left at 5 central time, they said, we're going to cancel that flight, and now you're going to leave at 1 o'clock. And at the time, yesterday, I was like, okay, there's nine people left. I mean, there's only nine people in the flight.

Right, right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nine people fly it and then flight. This morning, no one sits in the middle. Nine people on an airplane, unless it's, unless you're flying on some little Piper Cubs, there's plenty of room. Yes. So I woke up. this morning to a text that due to overbooking.

I'm like overbooking. What? So what happened is they canceled another flight to combine. They brought all these people. They brought all these people. And then now they kind of miscalculated and now they're overbooked. And they're asking me if I'm willing to sit on and I'm like, no. Agonizing.

No. So because times are bad and I get it, times are tough. So they want to fly with, you know, relatively. as full as they can airplane. Which I'm not, which I understand it. I'm not, I'm not complaining about that on that. What I'm saying is that they're,

they're, uh, now you are overbooked, but everyone that is flying in today's world, they have a destination in mind and a time frame in mind. They're not able to just, I can wait. Yeah, especially right now where,

what you want me to wait in this. That's what I mean. riddle terminal with all the homeless people with COVID-19? No, I do not want to wait here. And thank you for telling me while I'm still at home that I might not be able to get on the plane. But on the flip side, I know, right? No, no, no.

You need to check in from home, man. Oh, I already did. On the flip by checking in. I don't be so pissed. Oh, tell me about it. Guess who's sitting on business class spirit? Me and Otto will be the first. Let me ask you a question.

Let me ask you a question, Mr. I was eating in business class. Does Spirit actually have a business class? No, no. What they did is they took four rows out and put two big recliners. And that's your business class. Recliners? Yeah, they recline about two inches back. Spirit, I believe their business class has got to be.

Our seats are one inch bigger in business class. Yes, you get that. Yes, you get that. Yes. It's called the big seat. Really. Just nothing. Okay, that makes me feel better, so it's not really business.

But I am happy to say that I'm the first, well, I will be the last one in because this new rules now says you have to fill the plane out from back to front. Yeah, back to front. Which is good. Which is fine because that means that like you pointed out earlier, you know, while we were preparing for the show, that no one's going to be coughing up a lung every time they go in. You know, you got, you got Susie walking in and she's like, I know that it's, I know that it's a, I know that it's a, I know that it's a, I know that it's a, It's a cool thing for those people, some of those people sitting in business at first class, and you board the plane because you've got to get out of the plane, and you're Mr. Big Shot, Miss Big Shot.

So all the other unwashed masses have to board after you. I got it. And they have to walk by you and see you sitting in first class with your hot towel and your mimosa. Keep going. Keep moving. Don't be looking at me. Don't be like. I'm sitting here drinking. Yes. I do another mamosa. Whoa. Hold on. Spirit doesn't have mimosas. That will be $25 per item. Here's juice. Here's champagne and it's a $2 fee for the cup. Oh, man. You want a napkin? That's a dollar fee of a napkin. That hurts.

And if I'm trying to think of I, I think I have, we've talked about this before, but I think I have flown spirit once. No, if you go in the mindset of what you're getting, that you are just going to have one backpack, you do not look anybody in the eye, you definitely don't ask for anything, because you open your mouth and can I have, yes, sir, that'll be $10. No. Select your card here. Exactly. And no, sir, we don't take cash. Shut up. We don't take cash.

But if you walk in the mindset of what you're getting at, you know, for, seriously, for 54. bucks as long as this stupid aircraft gets me from dfw to mcco i don't know i will do whatever you want you want me to put my leg in the carriage and you want to put my other leg and you got it that's a problem no you can't be that cheap you just can't be i can't be oh that's fine that's fine you can't be but are you traveling every other month even if i was you can't just i'm not putting my leg and steer up in the boarding. Sir, you have to take your leg down. That's the only way I'm comfortable in here.

I'm not doing it. I'm not doing that. I remember for a whole year, I feel that I timed it perfectly where every time I was traveling, it was the same crew. And by the third time I traveled, the lady knocked at the little window. She was like, how much time are you spending on spirit because every time I come back to work, you're here. And I'm like,

I travel and I told the hostit, too, she's like, you timed this perfectly. Every time I know you will be sitting on 2A and your son sits on 1A. I'm like, yes, that's what that's, we like to sit in the front. Yes, it's low. The best seats. She's like, oh, but you bring me my mimosa, please. $25.25 per item and $2 fee for the cup. And a dollar fee for the cup. And I'd dollar fee for the napkin. Thanks. And you're the only way we take cash is if you tip me and slide that dollar bill right here. Oh. Oh, love. New meaning for spirit flies flying on spirit. So yesterday, President Trump, I don't start playing a little political music. I just got a couple of little Trump stories here for you.

Trump gave the Navy to go ahead to shoot and destroy any Iranian ships in the Persian Gulf that, well, the quote is for there's a dozen boats and if they try to harass any U.S. ships, we can't shoot

them down. Shoot and destroy. Right. Okay. I can't wait for us to play real life battleship. B-72. Iran just launched, you know, that's first, and I use

quotation marks, for those of you watching, you see me doing, a military satellite into orbit, and they're saying that's just a diversion for their, for their, you know, their nuke plants, which, okay, I believe that. But I love the fact that, yeah, if they try to harass U.S. ships and sea,

go ahead, shoot them down. Okay. That's great. I can't wait for the tweet from Corporal Jones on the USS Armageddon. We just sank three Iranian ships. Here's a quick video on Periscope. Sent tweet, tweet, tweet. By the way, it's going to be, I would like to make this. This has to come from Iran if they get shot.

You sunk my battleship. I need to, that needs to be the next tweet from the people over there. Can you say it in Iranian though? Again, just because I'm brown, it doesn't mean I speak Iranian. What is with you today? You know, I really hurt that you think that I ask you these questions just because you're brown. Fisher, you don't come to me for stuff like that at all. So the only, right now, the only thing you're doing that is because you see me brown.

so you think, oh, brown people, they celebrate Ramadan altogether. They speak Iranian altogether. What is next? What is your next brown thing you're going to ask me just because I'm brown? I just am looking for some information. That's all. He also said that President Trump also talked about his time to open up our national parks, open up the public lands to the people again.

I mean, let's go. I don't even know why we close the parks. We've got parks closed all of America. We're resting people for. being in parks. It's insane. Yeah. Let's open them back up. Did we talk about that yesterday? I don't know what we talked about anymore. I could go back and read my notes, but I don't care.

Yeah, it's too much work. Why, especially that one video. Now, usually in this scenario, me and you, Jeffrey, we have this and no one supports a police officer more than we do. You know the deal. Thank you. By the way, speaking of that, just pause for a moment. I heard a promo by some other Blaze TV host talking about this is his. quote in the promo is no one supports the police more than this show. Wrong. Whoa.

I want that promo pulled. All that's a lie. Off the air, you tell me who it is. I have access to the promos. I want that promo pulled. And I want him. I want a strongly worded email.

Do you want an apology? Explaining to him. I demand. You demand an apology. You know, it's funny you said because I've been demanding apologies for the last two weeks. and it feels great. I demand one.

That's a lie. And I will not have other shows taking over saying that they support the police more than anyone. Well, that's not true. I won't have it. That's not true. And that, for sure, I will give you the credit. So while I'll play music on the next commercial break, just know that that commercial will be pulled. But I'm not understanding seriously.

And oh, no, we did not talk about it. We talked about it off air. We talked about yesterday, but we talked about it off the air. I remember now. I don't understand why are police officers following this rule. Now, your police officer insider, which is just your cop friend next door, tells you that the rules are there, but they're not going to enforce people. Yeah, they were told, you know, that they didn't have to enforce them.

Don't worry about. Okay. Here's where I have an issue. Why isn't that being told to the other cops? I don't know. And maybe these cops are the rogue cops that say, hey, we can bust people for that. Exactly. And that's what the cops. Now, that video of the mom being arrested at the park, I want to know more because I'm not saying that.

Other stories, there was another story about it today. And I think even Glenn talked to her this morning or was supposed to, she was on the schedule. It was, it wasn't. Like when I first saw the video and I know where you're headed, I thought that they were. arresting her for something else. So there isn't. There isn't. She had a warrant out for her arrest or something for, you know, a parking ticket or something, you know, something else other than being at the park. Okay.

But she had her kids there. Yeah. She had, I mean, there were other parents there. And, you know, she was the one that spoke up, I guess, and that's what they singled her out for that. Okay. And, and I get, remember somebody, and I might have even been her asked the question, am I being detained or arrested. Yes. Because remember the story of the guy, the dad with the daughter, he was just detained. He was just detained. Yes. Yes. You know, they were they were they were walking that line of yeah, he had handcuffs on and he was sitting in the back of the car, but we let him go. Yes. This lady was arrested. They gave her a mug shot and everything. Agonizing. And I don't, and it has to be that either the police are, you know, I can't believe the police are why they're following it. Yeah, because I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't understand. I, I don't understand. I. I don't. I don't understand. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I I'm really trying to wrap my head around all these new rules that are coming out of someone at the park, swarm, swarm, swarm. And I don't even, and it's that stupid Karen that lives down the street calling the cops. Like, for example, Glenn talked about today and I got pissed.

Someone called the cops on the Amish. Yeah, I've got that story. We'll talk about that because there's more to that story. too. I think I don't think piss me up for no reason now because I was going to go and all right no we got to get well hold on let me get to the average story because I would read that the original thought is how dare you talk to the Amish they're not doing right what are you doing and by the way I and I agree there's that they got no business no they don't even know what a freaking TV is they do no they don't know what a TV is they do the guys are making butter. Play some music or something. Let me find this darned amy story. Because I read it this morning.

There's more to it. Okay. So I got it. We don't want them breaking the Amish party. But it wasn't, and I use quotation marks, again, those of you watching on live on 423, 2020. It wasn't an Amish party. It was a party with Amish people. Oh, okay.

They're in an Amish barn with more than 100 attendees. Four of the 100 people at the party were hit with charges because they defy to stay-at-home order, which I, you know, that's where we're at questioning, right? What are you doing with that? But I think this was tagged, tacked on to. They were drinking. Okay. And one man was so intoxicated, he had to be transported to a nearby hospital. you know would he have been transported to a nearby hospital if the police never showed up no he would have passed out and woke up the next morning in the cow in with the cows right what are I doing here zoooee

oh my god I thought she looked better than that last night anyway the anyway that would have been arresting maybe for the obvious there anyway so but they have told them Now, we can, we can, so I want to say that, you know, no one supports the police more than this show. Okay, I get it. But what are you doing mess with the Amish? I know, I know they're partying in a barn, but so what. They've already, it's Pennsylvania, well, this is Ohio.

Ohio, yeah. So this is not the Pennsylvania Amish. The Pennsylvania Amish would have taken, taken them down. Yeah. I would have trampled the police. You don't mess with the Pennsylvania. And it's very interesting. It's very interesting because I have a,

quote here that is just going to make you so happy fisher this quote from the sheriff of whatever the heck they are a sheriff gau scott hildenbrand is he honest too i love i love sheriff is he see okay anyways he says there is some concern out there and we are getting reports of large gathering happening if we get calls or find out about them we will go there break him up and get them out of there we won't tolerate this and we have to keep everyone safe calm down sheriff scott you need to calm down yes those homage people yes you know one was too intoxicated you had two underage drinking and you know one defy the order of well they all did, right? They all, there are a hundred people partying in a barn. They all defied the social distancing

rules, right? You're not partying in a barn staying six feet apart from each other. You're just not doing it. Can I quote you on that? Yes, you can. Have you attended that, uh, Ohio's Amish barn parties? No, but I have been to barn parties before. You have? Yeah. Michigan have barns? Or is this Florida? This is Michigan. Yeah. This is Michigan. Okay. And how old are you? And how old? was this Jeffie at this Michigan barn I don't recall Oh

So were you the guy that They had to transport to the hospital I may have been Had the police been called But if the police didn't call You would have got who worked I understand Waking up the next morning

Going I thought you looked better Last night And having to You know walk home I get it Okay Okay

Now it makes sense But come on In all seriousness Yes you had a guy That was too drunk to Andres drinking, which I really don't care for under his drinking. Like, okay, fine, whatever. Leave the Amish alone.

They have nothing in the world. Oh, they have... Who is calling? I mean, I thought the Amish is living on, you know, hundreds or thousands of acres of land. And they have the barn out there. And, you know, the candles are on. And they're partying because they don't have electricity.

That's what I'm saying. They've got a... They've got a little mouse in a circle wheel creating power for the music at the party going on. You know, like... And who's calling the police? According to this, a man called 911. No, no. A man did not call 911.

Really? No. What happened, here's reading between the lines from CTF, Karen woke up the husband and said, Robert, they're added again. again Robert. I told you those Amish people are partying at the barn. The damn Amish kids. Didadaya and Jadabaya and the Dewee they're all out there partying it out. What are you gonna do Robert? Robert. Riling up the cows, call the sheriff. We helped get him elected. I want the

I want that Amish party shut down. Oh yeah. I am getting sick of the Karen's in the world right now, dude. That's exactly what happened. It is so annoying. Like, in all seriousness, the Amish should be the only people left if anything made you like a pandemic happen. They have everything. One of the stories that I read, they're already talking about telling, you know,

we told them that they shouldn't be doing their church services. And okay. Yeah, you really, yeah, at the bottom of the story says, the police department said also to ask the Amish bishops to please. close churches for the rest of the month to help protect everyone. If there is, last time I understood about the Amish community is there a very close community. Why are you asking me about the Amish community because I'm white? You think just because I'm white and have facial hair that I know about the Amish community?

How dare you? How dare you? I know it's time to get to the coronavirus update, but first, you know, I need a Coca-Cola zero. I mean, I didn't get to the break room on time today. We'll be parched. So good. While we're getting to the coronavirus numbers, remember to subscribe to chewing the fat.

So total cases of, coronavirus. 2,667,567 total cases worldwide. 186,258 cases total deaths worldwide.

Here in the U.S. today, 850,116. That seems to be slowing down. Man, that's why we're thinking about opening it back up, because you can really tell when I see it every day. It's not jumping like it was. You can go back and find the numbers. I got it.

That's too much work for me to do. 47,737 total deaths here in the U.S. China, still hanging in there at 4,632 deaths, if you believe it. I did like the, there's plenty of stories now coming out, which we talked about here

on doing the fact that the coronavirus was around a lot earlier than what we were what we were told. And doctors were working on people who came in. They didn't know about COVID-19 or the coronavirus. So they were treating people with, again, if you're watching, you can see me use the quotation marks, the flu. And these people weren't getting better. They just, you know, plowed through. And so now these are people that had COVID-19 and have become, you know, they're either immune to it or they've you know they've they have the antibodies so uh you know there were if that's

true and we have a lot more cases than what we were saying that's good news yes that yeah especially how that original according to reports the original case we thought it was in washington or Seattle but it might be that it is from California yeah yeah so that means it's well it might even be we had I had talked to a doctor inside report doctor here in Dallas foreign way yeah the doctor whisper and talked about treating treating a case like that in October funny you say that one of my friends I showed my neighbor she had this cold and they did all the tests and she came back negative they were like um just go back home and try to give her breathing treatment and everything and she's better now and then she calls us and she

Oh, here we know. Who creeped back up a little bit. And this is for yesterday. Yep.

98,968 people through the TSA checkpoint. So they didn't break 100,000, but did tick back up from the low 90,000. So we'll see what happens you're traveling today. So we'll get those numbers tomorrow and see how they work out for us. And we also got news that 43% of small businesses say they'll be forced to close permanently if they don't get help soon. Okay.

And the airlines are saying that they're going to report a 90% loss. Wow. 90% loss. Okay. Wow. I mean, we've got, and I don't know that if we open up, you know, they want help from the government.

Everybody wants help from the printing machine. But I don't know that we, if we start opening up, is that going to help the airlines right off the bat? I don't know. I'm not going to a restaurant or flying. Well, I hope my pilot today, you know, hasn't been the pilot that's been on standby for the last 42 days. I know. And I'm sure he has.

Yes. I'm sure he probably has. So I hope he knows how to still remembers how to fly a stupid plane. Yeah. Do that? Well, it's not that. He's just tired. He's just tired.

He's been working. He's the only one that hasn't had COVID-19 is the only one that's been working. He's the only one that doesn't drink anymore, so he's sober. He can fly every day. Oh, crap. Wait, are you telling me

that I'm going to fly with a sober captain? He was tired, and it just has had enough, and everything's on cruise control. So have fun. So what you tell to me is, like, to bring a shot of something, and then give it to the captain,

be like, hey, captain, you good? Loose it up a little bit. Losing up a little bit. I'm a little Lami's party up here while you're flying. I need you to stop because you come really close to upset in me because then that reminds you movie, the Denzel Washington,

and I do not want to go down that route. Oh, I love that movie. I love that movie. We've had a study on veteran patients, and I love the headline on this because a study on veteran patients, the hydroxychloroquine study, it wasn't a study. Just to be clear.

What was it? But they want to say that it shows no, benefits, more deaths among patients using the drug. But if you get into the story, it wasn't a study. It was just the doctor's saying what happened to some of these patients. Oh, so, okay. Well, yeah, that's not a study. Correct. Yeah, that's just the doctor retelling a story of like, you know, we gave that big word drug to this person, did not work, he died, and we'll give to this person, it didn't work, it died. So that means the drug doesn't work. The drug doesn't work. No, it didn't work on that person. Yes. We also have a story about a man

talking about couldn't get to the dentist and he had a real problem with his tooth and he pulled out his tooth with his pliers his own pliers, he pulled out his own tooth. I mean, that's what we used to do. That's the old way, yep. Grandpa used to put a string on your tooth and yanked that thing out of your mouth.

Let's go. We also talked yesterday, we're having problems with masks. I know yesterday we talked about you can't disinfect them in the microwave. Otherwise, they just burn. Yeah, come to find out, Jeffrey had a Did not attempt it. There was someone in my house that didn't want to attempt it. You have a Boy Scout.

You're ready. I know, but for some reason, we didn't want to. In case it actually didn't do what I thought it was going to do. But now we're having a problem because so many people are discarding their masks. Trash. They're becoming a health hazard. Trash. Just throw away.

Throw away. So just don't litter. Okay, what are you doing? Don't litter. And now we're going to have to have a special trash can for masks. No. Oh, business idea. I know.

Business idea. I know. Mass trash cans. I know. And another business idea. You can provide them, but you've got to have somebody to pick them up. Ooh, milkman status. Yes.

Yes. We also have a list of the largest public companies that are taking payroll loans. and we get to those when we continue on the podcast. We'll get to the list of the companies, the largest public companies, taking payroll loans, helping to save their, should they?

I don't know. Does it look bad? Yeah. I mean, we heard from Abigail Disney, who was kind of whacked out of our mind anyway? Remember, we heard from her at the beginning of the year talking about how she should be paying higher taxes and she just hates all of her wealth and how she's trying to stop.

She's attempting to stop and flying private. So she's kind of a little off anyway, but she had the note to the Disney people. Disney's decision to furlough workers, what the actual F. But when she breaks down the numbers, you kind of think she's right. Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. Okay, so there's plenty of companies, these large public companies, that are taking money that we're supposed to go to small businesses? You know, the list of, you know, named and shamed of these $100 million companies, some of them, that are getting money. DMC Global Market Value, $405 million.

They're getting $6.7 million. Wave Life Sciences, $7 million. Some of these companies, they're worth, we'll just do the market value. $405 million, $286 million, $273 million, $264 million, $229 million, $198 million. Now, I've got to tell you, well, that sounds like a lot of money, and I would be happy to have $192 million. You can quote me on that. I'd be happy to have $192 million.

If do I, if I've considered a small business and trying to make payroll and trying to stay alive is $6 million, $5 million. Am I not going to take that to stay alive? I don't know why we're shaming them like that. Maybe we just, I don't know, stop printing money and open the country. back up and let companies start surviving again, even if it's on that small margin. Maybe we just tell companies, instead of printing money, because we've got the printing press. I mean, the printing press is actually almost on fire. We have to keep water hosed on it during the day when it's printing money, so it doesn't start

on fire because it's so hot right now. maybe we just shut it off and tell everybody you know you don't know anything you don't know anything whatever you think you owe you don't we're starting at zero right now everybody's starting at zero right now I don't know that that's such a bad idea that's just me

we also have news from Operation Varsity Blues I like episode. Remember the hot pockets air who got five months in prison for her admissions bribery scheme. She's gone before the judge and said, Hey, you know, there's a coronavirus pandemic going on, right?

Why don't I just do my time? at home. I don't need to do it here. And so she's, now don't forget, she's not in jail yet, and she was going to surrender to the authorities. And they're saying, you know, if she does surrender, it's likely that. So how about we just, she just stays home. How about that? We just stay home and everything will be fine, okay? So we'll see what happens.

So here's what's going to happen. This judge is going to wait and see what happens to Lori, Lori, Lori, pay for my, tuition, Lori. Because they were supposed to respond on May 1st, right? So coming up in about another week, we get a response from the judge.

Another couple weeks, we'll get his response on the Lori, Lori, Lori case. So if that case gets thrown out, right? This case has already been settled where she got her five months and she's been sentenced and everything. Then this judge says, yeah, I just spend it at home.

Just spend it. You're fine. Stay home. Because we don't want that to happen. We don't want that to happen. So just stay home. Nobody wants to put you in jail anyway. You got a whopping five months.

Get out of here. We hope that you don't. I'm okay with it. I am all for it. I don't want the judge. All right. We're going to play some music now for Operation Varsity Blue. But I was listening to him.

podcast chewing the fat and I like it. So we're going to play it in the courtroom now. No, I mean, I have to be consented to that. I want that to happen in that courtroom. So sad. And another federal judge working during the lockdown has told Jesse Smollett, get out of it. little malicious prosecution lawsuit against the city of Chicago

get out, we're not doing that. The case is dismissed. I don't have anything to do with with the coronavirus at all. Maybe the judge, maybe the judge has it. Maybe the judge said, Jesse, I want to tell you something. The case is dismissed.

You need this. This is a crap. Get out of it. I don't have time to listen. and then I'm sick and get out of here, go home. It's over. Have a nice day. Now, at this case, there's another case from a Pennsylvania teacher's aide. And I thought that she was going to get off, and I mean, get off easy, quote me on that.

She's going to jail. She's another teacher that had sex with a few boys at the school of Pennsylvania. She had got in trouble for kissing and fondling one male student. and she had performed oral on one of the other boys. Now, she, it looked like, was going to, you know, kind of walk away from this. But when she went in front of the judge, she wouldn't admit it. I don't know that she coughed, but she apologized to the boys for whatever pain that her actions may have caused them and their family. but she denied any wrongdoing in the case.

She didn't say, yeah, it was wrong. I shouldn't have done that. And that pissed the judge off. So instead of, you know, letting her off easy, he gave her 11.5 to 23 months in prison. Hello? It was. And she's going to have,

she's going to be on parole for three years, can have no unsupervised contact with minors outside of her own children. That'll go over great. Wow. Wow. So she should have just said, yep. What does that have to do with the teacher?

Because it did a lot of harm to the boys, I'm sure. What is it? I don't understand. And don't forget yesterday it was Earth Day. I don't want to thank. I heard from a number of listeners who hugged a tree. I didn't see any pictures, though. I think they were ashamed to take pictures of themselves hugging a tree.

So they did admit to me that they hugged a tree. And my favorite was from one of our listeners who said, I took your advice and hugged a tree today. I did not feel any thrill running up my leg, but my shirt was covered. I'm not done talking about what Dominic had to say at his email. He talked about, I took your advice and hugged a tree today. I did not feel any thrill running out my leg.

But my shirt was covered with sap. So maybe it was an excited male tree. I mean, thanks, Dominic. I appreciate it. It means a lot that you at least participated in the Earth Day hug your tree. A lot more. I don't know why you're giving me the wrap-up time. I could go for another.

another while I don't care you got a plane to catch whatever yeah come on they're overbooked anyway no no you are stuck you know terminal it was funny baby is like not a lot of people are traveling so that

TSA precheck I bought it's not needed anymore because there's no one traveling it's so upsetting there goes a hundred bucks they are waving people through man oh the I could not

Yeah, I'm really interested to see how the TSA workers are working. I'm going to swim by the commoners entry. I want to see what they do. If I don't see anybody and there's just like TSA agents just playing with their, you know, masks and gloves, I want to go in there and I want to say, I do not want to be scammed with a machine. I need to be patted down. And I won't see if they pat me down.

Oh, but they have to, right? Do they? Can they say no to the, pat down because we're in a pandemic and force me to go through the scanner i think they can use the pandemic as an excuse i'm all for the scanner anyway i just oh i don't care i don't care i don't care depending on my mood i don't know you know what i don't some days you want to be patted down other days it's like oh just put me in the machine you could quote me on that
