And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Welcome to it. You know, get ready to hear the term contact tracing more and more and more over the next couple of months for sure. We heard the story of New York needing to hire an army of tracers. they're going to hire up to 17,000 contact tracers as part of a statewide effort to combat the coronavirus. And that's, you know, by tracking down people who have gone near those infected by COVID-19. Cuomo said at his press conference that the state needs at least 30 tracers for every 100,000 people so that they can follow the path of those infected and determine whether,

their contacts should be isolated. Isn't that special? Isn't that special to do that? You know, what needs to happen is that just needs to happen with our smartphones. Oh my gosh, Apple and Google are developing a smartphone platform that is going to try and track the spread of the coronavirus at, you know, at scale. Now, some would say, well, you know, we want to try to preserve privacy. Stop it. It's an opt-in right now.

It's an opt-in, so you're already saying it's okay. Now, they're going to use the proximity capabilities built into Bluetooth to track the physical context of participating phone users. So if a user later test positive for COVID-19, the disease. disease, you know, coronavirus, that user can then choose to enter the result into the health department approved app. The app then will contact all other participating phone users who have recently come within six feet of that person. Wow.

It's, you know what it's called? Contact tracing. It's, you're going to be hearing it everywhere. It's amazing. Now, they talk about, in this story, it talks about it poses a serious threat to individual privacy. What? Since it, you know, just opens a door to those central databases that track the movements and social interactions. Now, they say Apple and Google are developing uses as innovative cryptographic scheme that aims to allow the contact tracing to work at scale without.

posing a risk to the privacy of those who opt in to the system. Right. Okay. So it's an opt-in now. It's not an opt-in later. You know what we need. You know what we need. What would be easier?

Instead of having to worry about the whole phone thing and everything. Why don't you just get a health chip? Well, a contact tracing chip. The CTC, the contact tracing chip. And then that way, when someone who you've come in, come within six feet of has coronavirus or any other health issue or committed any other crime or done anything that we deem negative, you'll be alerted. And you'll know about it. But it won't. Don't worry.

It's not anything to do with privacy. it just will be for your safety and security. Don't worry about privacy. Look, you already opted in originally, and now we don't even care about you opting in. We're just going to do it. It's all for your safety. Hey, this is chewing the fat.

Fat Pile Friday. Welcome to it. When did? When did? I got to make sure I word this right now. When did being gay stop being? Okay, so it used to be. A long time ago.

A hundred years ago when I was, if you were gay, you were happy about being gay. And one of the benefits was not having kids. And one of the benefits of being gay was that you didn't have to have kids. And you looked upon those heterosexual people that had families as, icky. And, you know, I love your kids. Sure, I love my nieces and nephews, but they're inky and they're dirty. I just don't want to be around them. But thankfully, I'm gay. And I don't ever have to worry about that. Well, that's not true anymore. They, and I say they, and I don't mean they in a negative way. But those that are gay seem to want,

that heterosexual lifestyle. So many of them are having children. Okay. I mean, congratulations, I guess. Good for you. And I just was thinking about this this morning because I saw where Anderson Cooper just announced the birth of his son.

And I thought, wait, Anderson Cooper had a kid. But apparently he and hubby got a surrogate and that surrogate and I don't know if the surrogate used donations from both Anderson and hubby or just

Anderson. I'll make a guess that it was just Anderson but I don't know that. So the surrogate carried the baby term and had a beautiful baby boy, 7 pounds, 2 ounces. Wyatt, Cooper. I'm a fan of the name

Wyatt. I love that. In fact, that's one of the middle names of my middle son Maximus. I love the name Wyatt. But it just got me thinking that. I thought it used to be the cool thing not to have kids

because you were gay. That was a part of the benefit. I guess it's not a benefit anymore. I don't understand it. And just don't understand it. So I'm looking through a story the other day that talked about things that are disappearing now. Like, you know, jobs and businesses.

No, it wasn't about that. But it wasn't about some businesses and some things that are, you know, that used to be big and that are just disappearing. And I went down the list. One of the things that they talked about that would be disappearing soon would be, you know, touch screens because of, you know, coronavirus really brought the light that we don't need to be touching those nasty, dirty things all the time, which we had talked about prior to coronavirus anyway. And so now, once again, we're going to be using our phones and apps for whatever

businesses that you're just going to order that way. So it's your, you get your own germs, mostly on your phones. They're still dirty and nasty, but you're they're not as bad as public touch screens. And then it started going down a list of a bunch of other things that I thought, it's kind of, you know, like they talk about blackouts going away. And that's simply, I mean, that's, and they are saying that because people are going to have more integrated power systems with their solar in their house, thanks to Elon and some other companies. and they also have some smarter power service grids around the country.

They're all, they've all been interlocked anyway. So they're all borrowing, buying and selling power to each other as needed across the country. And so blackouts are going away. I didn't really ever think it was an issue in today's world. I mean, you have a big storm. and it shuts down an area, that's not okay. That's still, they get it back up pretty fast. But I guess that's what you're trying to solve, right?

You have a big storm and you have your solar banks in the house. Well, you have that, Chris, right? I mean, you have the solar power, so you don't even ever think about blackouts, even with the storm coming through. Yeah, the power back down. How long does that last, though? Well, it depends how I set it up. I set it up. Like right now I have 25% of the battery is reserved for if there's a blackout.

Okay. Okay. So like my batteries hold, I believe it was 15 kilowatts. Okay, whatever. You know, so they're never at 100%? No, because I used it during the day. So it goes, I can set it up where I'm only using solar. But then, you know, since we haven't a full day of sunny side sunlight so i just use a hybrid version which is i primary comes from solar but if it doesn't meet what the house is holding then it gets it from the battery but usually at night i end up having 50% of the battery left over by the time daytime comes so unless it's like a really cold day, then, you know, I have to turn on the heater for a couple of minutes for the wife to thaw out and then. Yeah.

You know, we got on that. But, you know, I love the Tesla because the Tesla, if this is a storm like there was. And I want to put the disclaimer of Mr. Stockholder, Mr. Shareholder. So go ahead. Finish your story. When that storm came by a couple of days ago, the automated Tesla app said there's a storm coming. we're going to use everything on the on the battery it's going to reserve just in case you will lose power so it automatically thought they decided for you yeah yeah because they have a new feature called

storm watch and it's connected to the weather channel and then they all communicate oh there's a storm coming to you know right there's an area they need the power just in case but so far and the thing about too when there's a blackout i won't notice So I check in on the app or the blackout area to see if there's been a blackout because you can't even tell. So if there's a blackout, there's a storm and you lose power, and the neighborhood loses power. And you know, you obviously have your lights on and your neighbors come and storm your house because you're the only one with lights on and power. Don't worry about that ever happening. But how long does it last, though, is what I'm saying.

So you have a blackout and the storm comes through and all the power lines are down and your neighbors are banging at your door saying let us in, your freezer still got cold food in it. How long does that last before that runs out? Depends on where I'm at. You know, it could be a full day. If I go bare minimum where I'm like, okay, we lost power. And all I wanted to run is the fridge and nothing else. I could last, according to the numbers, I could last up to three days on just that.

That's not bad. And you guys who got to remember is, you know, there's always sunlight. So when the sun comes out, I'm still still continue to charge. Yeah. Okay. That's good. That's good. Have you made your money back yet?

No, not yet. Not yet. But I'm loving those. Yes, 20 years, yes. But I do love that my power bill is like 15 to 20 bucks. Yeah, that's nice. And then, you know, the rest of course goes to, you know, test. like because I'm paying you know a little bit and I couldn't pay fully for the system so you know

I have a little bit of loan there but it's way less than what I was paying before and I'm using everything that you're supposed to use like a C heater taking showers doing laundry still uh I mean that's great I mean that's exactly what you wanted to be for one of the other things that they mentioned disappearing. Well, a couple more things. Actually, they go down a huge long list, which I'm not going to get in every list because it's like, yeah, I got to dial up internet.

Yeah, yeah. Is dial up internet still a thing? I guess so somewhere in the middle of, you know, New Mexico or Arizona or, you know, you're up in the Dakotas all by yourself, maybe, I guess. You know, in the urban areas, I'm pretty sure dial up internet. is not happening.

And they talk about your privacy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Clutch and pedal of cars, that's definitely going away. I mean, I don't even think they make clutch and pedal cars. I think Ford just said they're going to stop making their last trucks that were clutched pedal. And there's plenty of semis now that for our trucker friends, I believe that they've dumped those down so that they've done those down so that they can get, you know, it's faster for people to learn how to drive them.

Incredible. Right? I mean, I think that's more of a theft deterrent in today's world. You have a clutch of pedal car, they're not stealing it. Nobody knows how to drive it. I personally love them. I wish, you know, I love them to the point of, do I want to have a clutched pedal every day anymore?

Hey, no, I guess not, but it wouldn't bother me. I mean, it's not different. They're not difficult to drive. And I've driven both where the stick was on the steering column and where the stick is, you know, in the center, in the center column. And they're just, they're not that difficult to drive. I don't know what is so difficult about them. And they talk about parking meters going away.

You know, maybe. Maybe they're going away. The cities still love them. That's definitely a cash incentive for cities. So good luck those going. in a way. But they also talk about the corner mailbox, and we've talked about that before a lot. You know, I mean, you go by the postal buildings that are some of the larger centers, and their back lot is full of those blue postal boxes. I don't know that, yes, there's still

some around, although I can't remember the last time I actually saw one that is being used. and the post office is in trouble anyway. I mean, Trump does not like it. I can't figure out why. I think he just thinks it's old and antiquated, which it kind of is, I guess. But I know that sadly, we have people like Senator Elizabeth Gillibrand,

you remember her from the running for president of the United States, Democratic Party. And a lot of things that she believes in, I don't really agree with her on. But she just wrote an op-ed and discussed the United States Postal Service, and she's trying to save it. And I'm like, okay, Kristen Gillerbann, I'm with you. I'm all about it. And she talks about her, you know, she's a senator and a politician, so she has, you know, a three-step solution. And she talks about the first part of her solution, first part of her three-part solution for the post office, would be for them to return to provide basic banking services.

I mean, okay, I like that. I like that plan. Back in the early days of the post office, it was a bank, right? They helped a lot of people. other than if you didn't have banks you're able to go there that puts you know the the big the big cash of paycheck businesses are going to be against it that's for sure they talk about she her second part of her three initial plan is to eliminate the misguided pension and health care pre-funding policy okay uh you know we could definitely look into some of that and

I say we, you know, when you put me on the board of governors. And lastly, we're, she's talking about not, you know, we need to protect our, and she calls it a democracy. See she gets into some things that I definitely disagree with. But with public health experts and everyone worried about the coronavirus, she wants to use, you know, voting by mail. Okay. Okay. Well, I don't know that I agree with that one. But there are at least some people trying to save the post office. And remember, I gave you a plan on what to do with those blue mailboxes that are bad in the back lot of those postal services. We need to charge municipalities, lease them to cities as deposits for used masks and coronavirus. gloves all over the cities so that they're not people are just throwing them on the streets and becoming a health hazard.

That would also increase our income. And then we can, you know, hire some. Why don't we use the post office as part of our contact tracing people? Why are we hiring new people for that? Let them do it. They're already out there and let them hire some more employees to build up the postal service. As the people who are picking up the dirty gloves and masks, they could be part of the contact

tracing crowd. Huh? I think I like it. Looking forward to our virtual happy hour tonight on Zoom, 6 p.m. Central, 7 p.m. Eastern, of course, same Zoom channel, same Zoom time. I'm looking forward to talking to you and seeing you. So if you want to join us tonight for our virtual happy hour, the CTF virtual happy hour, same thing, same way that you did it before.

If you joined us on the last one, and if you haven't, you can email, you still have time. If you're listening to this prior to 5 p.m. Central, 6 p.m. Eastern, you can email for a link and email Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. and I will I'll send you a link and we'll get you hooked up for that and it's good news because I really am looking forward

to seeing how you're holding up how's it going you're looking forward to going out are you going to are you going to go to the malls I mean we talked yesterday or the day before or sometime in the past couple of days whenever

they all get blurred together that the Simon property group one of the biggest mall operators in the country is going to reopen 49 of his properties they're going to be lifting, you know, states are lifting their restrictions. Now, they're going to be doing a thing that I find, you know, we're back to contact tracing again.

In their story, they talked about they're capping their occupancy at their malls to one person per 50 square feet. Now, I'm guessing that that's probably what they were at or even higher than what they were at, prior to a lot shutting down, because a lot of people weren't going to malls. But they're going to use the help to make that happen of one person per 50 square feet with the help of what they're calling traffic measurement technologies. Okay. Is that armed guards? Is that part of the traffic measurement technology?

You need to step aside, get out. and they're offering, remember we told you they're offering, you get free masks, hand sanitizing products, free temperature check. So they're going to, they're strongly encouraging everyone to wear face coverings and to keep their distance from one another. And in the story, weren't they doing this already? I mean, were they not? Simon's staff will regularly sanitize areas like food court tables, escalators, doorks, doorknobs, and electronic. directories. Hours will be left for overnight cleaning. Were they not doing that already? All these places that are reopening talking about staff regularly sanitizing areas.

It kind of concerns me that they weren't doing that or are they just telling us that they're doing it like they did before. Yeah, yeah, we're cleaning it. It's kind of like the airlines, right? They only clean the plane once a month, really, maybe, right? Other than that, they expect you to, you know, pick up after yourself. We've got, but they always had Jose and Hoseby cleaning up in the food court. You could go into the food court without Jose or Hoseby or Juanito coming by picking up the trays and empty in the trash. That's just who they were at the ball. Okay. I'm not picking anybody out in particular, but that's just who they were.

And Macy's had said, you know, we figured. Macy's would be closed forever now, right? But they said they're planning. Now, I have a feeling this is Macy's wishful thinking. Of course, we're planning on reopening all of our 775 stores in the next six to eight weeks. Are you planning that? Or are you planning on reopening a hundred, a couple hundred? And the others are still in the works and will never be that way.

I don't know. I don't know. We did get some, look, we're already considering canceling things for next year, for 2021, right? I mean, we've gone beyond thinking about the running of the Bulls in October Fest. And, oh, speaking of October Fest, so I'd take a side-down. You know, the point was of that story that we were already canceling things into October. but for those of you that emailed me,

do you know October that's time in September if not just in October that wasn't the point okay, the point was that we're already canceling things into October. Okay, thank you.

But Marty Graff, the mayor of New Orleans has already said there considering canceling next year. Wasn't she the defiant one for 2020? All right. now blaming Trump for running, having Mardi Gras this year.

Nobody gave me a definitive thing. Okay, thank you. And now we're already thinking about canceling next year. Great. But we did get great news today. And I'm, for all the social media influencers out there, I know you're happy. Beverly Hills Council voted to resume cosmetic surgeries.

So all social media influencers are excited. And you'll be able to get your lip service, and you'll be able to get your butt service, and you'll be able to get your scrapings and your cleanings, and you'll be all back to normal, no problem. So good news, good news. I need a drink of Coca-Cola Zero. I'll tell you that.

Again, I know it's headlines in Fat Pile Friday, and we'll get to the Fat Pile. I know, we'll get to it, but. I'm a little punched. Oh, my gosh. you have no idea how good that is. This is so, so good. Remember to subscribe to a Chewing the Fat,

And tonight, join us for the CTF virtual happy hour. And I look forward to seeing you and talking to you on the virtual happy hour as well. Headlines. Let's see what we've got here.

I mean, I've just got a ton of headlines. This story's been in the pile for a while. The Romans invented recycling. I mean, we're going to have to go back and look. I'm going to have to go back and start reading all the. All the history books about Rome, the great Roman empires, because I learned this week that they invented recycling excavations at Pompeii show that mounds of rubbish piled outside the city walls were collected, sorted, and resold.

Okay, I get that we found the mounds of rubbish piled up outside the city walls. I'd like to know how we figured out that they were being resold and sorted. But, okay, I get that. And we also found out this week that the Roman Empire, the ancient Romans had burgers. They found an ancient burger recipe. The Romans, I guess, were stopping off at the, you know, at the Empire's burger joint and having a burger. So that's good to know as well, I guess. We talked a little bit.

I talked a little bit about this, two of the past. I'm in the middle of the week where Belgians are being urged to eat fries twice a week because they have a huge stash of surplus of potatoes. But they're not giving any deals. They're just saying, hey, eat fries twice a week. Why not have buy one, get one? Why not tell people you get some free potatoes? Throw a little bit of extra in there for me. I'll have some more fries.

I mean, I'm not going to have extra fries unless I give them for free. No, really. I mean that with every, you're not going to. You're not going to force me to have extra fries unless I get them for free. The U.S. Supreme Court, I don't care about the Supreme Court, who cares about that. YouTube launching their digital film festival. Yay! Yay!

Yay! Yay! Yay! Dad approved heavy equipment maker Caterpillar, reported a 21% drop. in sales. Well, duh. I mean, their production facilities and operating facilities, I mean, all of that is, there's still construction going on. I see the builders out still building apartment complexes in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. And I see when I, you know, when I do venture out of the bunker, which is very rare. But I have ventured out a couple of times. And I see some workers

still building houses in the metroplex. It's kind of strange seeing it, but I guess they're all keeping their, you know, social distancing, and you build that room and I'll build over here. If the wood we're carrying into the house is shorter than six feet, we won't be able to carry it. You're going to have to carry it by yourself.

I can't help you. Sorry. That's just the way it is. Southwest Airlines reported their first loss since 2011. Well, yeah, duh. We'll get to the TSA numbers when we do the coronavirus segment, but all the airlines are struggling, right? I mean, they're ready to shut down.

We talked about that the other day where they're going on every other day. We're not going to even fly every day now. Okay. hotels are selling credits please please we'll give you great deals just come and say you're going to come and for future stays we'll give you big deals this is for you Chris you should start doing this

just get your rooms booked in the future but get them now get them now while you can otherwise they're going away have a nice day I don't say hotels I go to Airbnb those are way better because I can rent a whole house for the price of one hotel room. Out of the coronavirus days,

you're going to want people clean in the rooms making sure they're clean. They are making sure that the rooms are clean. That's why Airbnb has not taken a hit. Oh, they have not? I bet they have. No, they have not.

That could not be true. Okay. That could not be true. Okay. I mean, because there's no way. There's no way. I want that to be proven to me. Because there's no way that people are still using Airbnb because nobody's traveling.

How can you still be good if nobody's traveling? Oh, this is their latest tweet. Remind her to all frontline responders, you can find a place to stay. You know, it doesn't sound like they're doing good. A bargain with the devil. Oh, yeah, because they've been in trouble. It's supposed to be a banner year. Then the pandemic hit.

They're not doing well at all. That's the very first headlight. It was supposed to be a banner year. Oh, that does not vote well for the they're still doing fine. All right, let's look at the coronavirus numbers for today as of this recording. You're looking at worldwide 3,333. 33. I know what was 3,333,929.

Make sure I read that right. Total cases worldwide. Total death, 235,175 as of this recording. The USA is 1,99,270. So it will be, you know, a million and 100,000. It's going to be insane. We have, wow. Holy cow.

We have a total of 63,972 total deaths in the USA. But new deaths is, and I say this only, with the sad face, 116. So that's going down. China still hanging in there under 83,000 total cases. They added 12 new cases. So they just keep adding, but the goal is to keep it under 83,000. I don't know that they can get hit that goal of keeping it under 83,000, but they did keep it under 83,000 for the month of April. So now that we're into May, maybe they keep it under there as fast as much as they can, as much as they can.

Because they're still, they have no way they're no way cracking 5,000 deaths. They're at 4,633. So that's good news. Good news, China's still hanging in there. up. TSA checkpoint travel numbers yesterday. Wow, going way back up. We're at 154,695

going through the TSA checkpoint. That's up dramatically. That's the biggest number since, wow, since 154,000 goes all the way back to the end of March. The end of March is when it started really, really tanked. Well, I mean, it started really tanking.

midway point of March, right? But still, that last weekend, that last weekend that we all knew it was going to go into lockdown, that Friday the 13th. So that last weekend, 1,700,000, 1,400,000, almost 500,000, 1,500,000, and then that Monday, 257,000, and then 900,000, 700,000, 200, wow, I mean, it just dropped boom, then you're back down below 100,000 that first week

of April and they have not you know, the lowest was what that's 80, 80, 87,000 was the lowest on the 14th of April and then it slowly kind of creeped around 90 but we're back up to

154th so that gradual opening up, maybe helping save them a little bit. That's good, good. We have facial ID. Doesn't work when you're wearing a mask, but thankfully, Apple is addressing that. And I want them to. I want them to address

that. What they're doing, though, is they really aren't addressing it. They're just making it easier and quicker to get into your phone, right? Instead, now, if you have the face, the facial ID, then it goes through a whole thing of it can't recognize you and it starts shaking and vibrating and it can't recognize you and you go through this whole process and then it finally says, type in your password. So now Apple is making it so you get like one shot at the facial ID and then you type in your password. Okay, well, thank you. I mean, I like that better than we're working on. We're going to laser your eyeballs into your

Apple phone. We're going to know exactly who you are. That's probably going to come next. So, I mean, they're making people wear masks in banks. You're kidding me? You spent years telling people they couldn't wear masks and now go ahead. Yeah, you're fine. Don't worry about it. Who did you find? Stop it. I think, you know, for the, there's a story today talking about a Japanese, I was going to save this for the podcast, but it's too fascinating. And I, I, I think that they're doing what I told the zoos to do. Let's start getting people in there. We had the zoo for the Zoom, for our Zoom meeting last time, for our virtual happy hour.

And I don't know if any, you know, we'll try to get a hold of zoos now, but a Japanese aquarium wants people to video call its lonely eels. So you could video call its eels. We may do that on the, on our virtual happy hour. Tonight we may call the Japanese, the Japanese Aquarium and see if we can, you know, maybe have a slight conversation with the eels. You never really know. LGBT-owned restaurant using drag queens to bring food orders to cars during coronavirus. So, I'm okay with that.

By the way, I feel that you are. Once again ignoring the big, big news out there. Am I? Yes. Am I? The five airlines are now demanding that passengers must wear face masks. They're demanding that now? Yep.

Five companies. Just like the cities, I mean, there's plenty of municipalities and cities that are, you know, local municipalities that are saying you have to wear masks. So on Monday, JetBlue. became the first major airline to say that passengers must wear a covering of their nose and mouth throughout their journey. And then last night, Delta, American, United, and Frontier have also said passengers must wear covering of their nose. It's mandatory? Yep. Are they going to provide me with the mask if I don't have one or do I just get shot in the head? It doesn't say,

about provided, but I believe it says you will get shot in the head. You will go see if I want, I don't even know if they'll let you walk down the runway to the plane if you don't have a mascot. I don't think so. But if you do and you make it to the plane and they realize

you don't have a mask shot in the head. Yes, and Senator Markey tweeted, every person who flies during COVID-19 should be required to wear face masks during the flight. We cannot rely on individuals' airline policy. So this came from up.

And then now everybody is like, okay, JetBlue Delta American United and Frontier. I said, okay, you have to wear some kind of covering of your nose and mouth while you're traveling. I don't see a.k.a. Flintstone Airlines, like you call it, you know, bending the knee. to the masses. They will, though. Oh. They will. Because they're going to get, they're going to get,

they're going to get, uh, they're going to get fire for not doing it. If they, if they don't step to pretty soon within, within the next few hours, they're going to get, they're going to get hammered for not doing it because they're the, uh, they're the airline of the poor. What? Oh, hell no. Oh, you better be careful. I'm just saying.

Airline of the poor? I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying that's what they're known as. The airline of the poor, the airline of the, you know, your people. And they're going to be hammered for not letting them wear masks. Guaranteed. But same thing is going to happen with Spirit, though. If you walk down that, the gallery and you make it to the plane and then you don't have a mask or a bullet.

So I'm really, there are these stores and places of business that are requiring me to wear a mask? I can't shop at your particular business. I can't, you don't want my money if I'm not wearing a mask. and I guess, you know, in a free market system, that's good for you. Fine, whatever.

The airlines, they walk that line of free market, but they are, you know, we pretty much prop them up. And by we, I mean, the taxpayers pretty prop, you know, prop them up. So when they start demanding things, it kind of irks me. But their rule was, right, they're saying that we have to wear masks. other than spirit, you know, down there in Terminal E. Nobody cares about Terminal E. We only care about Terminal A where the homeless people are. The, they also are telling you that you have to wear it through the whole process, right?

It's not just on the plane. No, not just in the plane. What happens now is if you pull in the parking lot, you don't have a mascot issue in that. Yes, yes. So you have to wear it during checking, boarding, flight, and departing. Deep Planey, sorry, deep planning. Now, the problem I have with that is that I check in on my phone at home. So before I open my phone, do I put your mask on?

Mask on. So that means that, you know, I still haven't gotten to update from Apple. So I'm going to be a little bit late checking in because my Apple phone. You have to go through the whole process. I go to the whole process of, you know, oh, try again. Oh, try again. We like to unlock with passcode. Oh, crap.

I don't remember my past code. So, and then I click on the app, and it's going to probably ask me, are you wearing the mask as you are checking in? Yeah. And if I hit no, then. Oh, they're just going to know, though, because you're going to already have opted into the contact tracing app. Oh, they're just going to know. Okay. And then you're not, you'll get the knock if you're not wearing it.

You're right. Yeah. You know what? I'm going to check them without my mask. Maybe you don't even get the knock. Maybe you just get the bullet. Oh, smart bullets. The knock, the knock gives you too much warning.

If you think you're Mr. Smarty pants, Mr. I'm going to check in without a mask, I'll show them. That is true. If you hear the, oh my gosh, then you pull up the mask, try to save your life by then it's too late. Now, can I check in like this where I just have a T-shirt and put it above my nose and mouth? Can I do that? I think so. I think that constitutes a mask. Okay.

Absolutely. Okay. Especially, you know, as long as you're in the house. If you're outside of the house, ooh. I think that's questionable. That's questionable outside of the house. That changed? Because I thought that was still good.

You just have to have something covering your nose and mouth. Yeah, but there's got to be something a separate thing, right? It can't be just pulling up a t-shirt. Oh, you mean like put in another t-shirt, another t-shirt I have on right now? If you pull the t-shirt up, you're wearing, your belly's hanging out. Nobody wants to see that. My shirts are long shirts. They're not.

Yeah, nobody wants to see your belly hanging out. You pull it up all far like it's a mask. Okay. I don't know how you... Start pulling up your pants. They can't reach... They can only reach just, you know, to your chin. Okay.

There's no way my pants are hitting my chin. But there are some people, you can pull them up to your chin. If they're sweatpants, if they're stretching. Oh, yeah. The sweatpants. Yeah, there's stretching. Sweat and goes all the way to the top of the head. It's just going to just seal it up, you know, pull that cord really nice and tight.

and you go, hey, I'm checking in. We may have to get into this story next week. I'm reading the headline now, and I'm just as we're talking, I'm reading another story. Okay. I mean, I was like, holy cow, I've got to get into the story.

Brazilian mystics say they're sent by aliens to jumpstart human evolution. So, I'm in. The members of the, the religion known as the Valley of the Dawn, gather its silence at a temple outside the Brazilian capital.

They come from around the world to synchronize their spiritual energies. Oh, man, how come I am not part of the Valley of the Dawn? Valley of the Dawn adherents manipulate cosmic energies to heal themselves and other. They describe themselves as members of a spiritual tribe called the Jaguars. is the Jaguars or they might call themselves Jaguars. I don't know. Jaguars. Jaguars?

No, Jaguars. Okay. Who are reincarnated descendants of highly advanced extraterrestrials set by God some 32,000 years ago to jumpstart human evolution. I'm in. I don't know why you keep reading because I'm in. You already got me at Dubai. Bought in. Oh no.

I know, but. But. Okay. The ceremony. Uh-huh. Postposed because of coronavirus. Oh, no. I know. Wait, I tell me that the

Valley of the dog members are pissed. Are you telling me that the gods that send these people down here to, you know, jumpstart the evolution, did not see this coming? Well, that's what they're pissed. COVID-19 coming.

They are. This year, Valley of the Dawn members who believe their spiritual force field could really help in this global crisis. Yeah, they're pissed. All I'm saying is, if... If you say, hey, Valley of the Dawn. Okay.

You can't get together. You can't get together. Sorry, your little party to synchronize your spiritual energies can't happen. Don't they just show up anyway? Yeah. And by the way... If I'm part of the Valley of,

of the dawn, I just show up. Well, not just that. If I'm part of the Valley of the Dawn, I feel that my gods let me down. They should have seen this coming. Well, even if they didn't see it coming, they're able to help. Their force fields, their spiritual force fields,

will help in our time of deed. True. That's what they're saying. Don't cancel us. I mean, we have salon owners that are saying, no, I'm going to open. We have tattoo parlors that are saying, no, I'm going to open.

This man cannot hold me. And the Valley of the Dawn people are taking it? No. True. You also have the wine bar in California saying open. I'm open. Okay. Come on in.

All right. I'm back. The Valley of the people are giving up? No, they need to make this happen. I feel like they need a new leader. Thank you. They need a new leader and a new doctrine to follow, especially during these hard times of COVID-19.

Thank you. Plus, you know, it just has a side note. Well, I'm thinking of synchronizing my spiritual energy. One of the things that has synchronized my spiritual energy is relief factor. And I'm out of a relief factor right now. I have a case. I have actually noticed for the long time I started taking relief factor. I thought, and you have a fascinating relief factor story. I do.

Yes. Which one is that? When it's synchronized by spiritual energy? I believe, I don't know if you talked about it yet, but that relief factor may have saved your life. Oh, yeah. I think I did. I think I haven't talked about that before. Yeah, you did.

You talked about it with the guys from Relief Factor. Okay. Yeah, yeah. So this is not a paid advertisement. No. It should be. I'm just saying that I'm out of Relief Factor. You know, if you could drop some off, the house, it would be.
