This is a test of my headphones.
There we go.
Are we recording?
What have you been doing since Sunday?
Really?
What have you been doing since Sunday?
183 people have been stuck on a train in Oregon in the middle of the winter.
What have you been doing?
What are you been doing?
Sitting around in your comfy chair hanging out, having food, relaxing.
A train, an Amtrak train heading from Seattle, Los Angeles, near Oak.
Ridge, Oregon.
Trees, snow, storm, stuck.
Amazing.
They've been there.
They've just been sitting there.
That's all.
Now, they're on their way.
They're finally on their way.
They started moving a little at a time today.
Tuesday.
But as of this morning, Tuesday morning,
supplies are running low.
Extra meals were down to, hey, you're having some pretzels and soda water
breakfast.
People with their kids running out of diapers.
That sounds like fun.
Keep your little kid not wearing a diaper.
They're supposed to be wearing a diaper away from me.
It does not belong on this train car.
They come back to that train car.
Now, some people had complained.
Other people said Amtrak was great.
They were trying to, you know, they were doing wonderful.
It's okay.
We haven't heard anything.
One lady said, we haven't heard anything from Amtrak.
But other people have said they've been keeping.
keeping us informed what's going on.
So I think just people are, you know, get a little cranky.
The, of course, Amtrak, well, they apologize to travelers and said in a statement that,
look, the train is now en route to Eugene.
Okay, we've got it on the way back.
They brought in a Union Pacific engine from the other direction, locked in.
Some lady tweeted, it's almost a dead zone way they were stuck.
So it was a very sketchy cell phone service.
So there wasn't a lot of tweets, a lot of, not a lot of cell coverage, blah, blah,
I don't know, one tweet that got through, we've got an engine, and that was it.
So they're moving a little out of time because there's still some tracks that are blocked
and they're trying to get everything, you know, trying to get some tracks on blocked so the train can get going.
But there's a huge snowstorm, 20 mile an hour and a 30 mile an hour wind gusts.
I mean, it's winter in Oregon.
Hello.
It's beautiful.
It's beautiful of you can travel through the train tracks without having to stop.
get stuck,
hey, you're stuck.
Yes, and look, we know that the train was inoperable
due to weather conditions and down trees,
but we had crews working overnight.
That didn't help.
So what have you been doing?
What are you been doing since Sunday?
Huh?
Sitting around, relaxing,
eating dinner with your family,
thinking, oh, man, the life.
My day, I got to get up and go to work on Monday and Tuesday,
get back to work.
These people stuck in a train car.
Two days.
freezing, kids running around.
One lady said a guy brought out his ukulele and started singing to the kids, putting them
to sleep.
It was just a happy little time on train car B.
Take the kids down to B.
He's singing.
Take the kids down to B.
He's singing.
Leave him there.
Leave him there.
They can all pass out there.
Man, that would not be fun.
That would not be fun at all.
You'd have to turn it into fun?
You'd have to try to turn it into fun.
Because otherwise, you're killing somebody.
and it might be yourself.
All right, so these two stories.
I keep getting, I think, Chris,
how many times do you send me these stories?
Four days in a row now?
Yes.
I got them all weekend.
I saw them on my own.
And then Chris sends them to me.
I read them.
They're, you know, okay stories.
It's possible to get to them.
But no, I'm not doing them.
And I get another email, master.
Same two stories.
No, not.
And then I get another email today after I didn't do them yesterday.
day. How many times you're going to email them to me?
Until you do it.
You just do it. Okay. Today
in Methamphetamine land.
Yes, this
is methamphetamine land.
Police say a man
wearing a gorilla suit. If you're
wandering around a neighborhood wearing a
gorilla suit, odds are you're high on meth.
Yes, today
in Methanphetamine land.
Broke into a Louisiana home.
Now, apparently he was walking around a neighborhood and people were like,
I wish you called the police. We don't
I don't know who this guy is.
Why?
He was wandering around in a gorilla suit.
Don't call the police for that.
So the police kind of show up, and then he breaks into a house.
Okay, now call it.
Well, he snuck into a house.
He snuck into a house.
They didn't realize it could have been his home.
We found out later it wasn't, but it could have been.
And so the police go to check it out, and they can't find him, and they're like,
what's going on?
Now, they find him under the bed, in the bedroom hiding, still in the guerrilla suit,
still high on meth.
Yeah, he's been arrested.
Big surprise.
Mw,
mw,
yeah.
Apparently in Louisiana,
you can't wear a mask in public.
What?
I know.
I know.
What about Mardi Gras?
Don't they wear masks of the time?
But, okay,
special holidays,
Halloween and Mardi Gras.
That's it.
What about Christmas?
No masks.
And a beard is not a mask.
You could make that fight,
baby.
What about that's giving?
What are you?
wear it. What Thanksgiving mask do you wear?
Turkey. Turkey mask.
Today in Methantphetamine land. No, that is not a thing. I don't even think that's a thing
with your people.
Turkey mask. Turkey mask. Turkey mask.
I'm Indian, yes.
Oh, yeah, yeah, you're Indian. Yeah. All right. So then the second story.
Stay in pile. Today at methamphetamine land.
The news anchor Chris Burroughs, KTLA in L.A. Big time. Big time. You know, a lot of people know who he was.
He passed away in a hotel room. Overdose.
That's sad.
It's a sad story. The old thing is sad. And it's because math.
Too much?
Way too much.
I mean, here's the news guy, right? So he's probably bored with his life.
life, bored of his life, the family.
So then he decides that, you know, what I can do is start meeting guys on Grindr.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
And we could just hang out and do meth and have a bunch of sex and hotel rooms.
Man, that sounds good to me.
And then I'll just go back and do news.
And now, five o'clock news.
Anchor.
Chris Burroughs.
Today in L.A. traffic backed up.
Oh, I don't feel good.
I've got to go.
Grinders swipe right, hotel down the road.
So apparently he meets.
And the guy that called the police, you know, when he died was, I mean, he's not, it was,
they're calling it an accident because it was, you know, accidental overdose.
Yeah.
The guy from Grindr didn't want anything to do with it, man.
He called the police.
Walked out?
He was there.
He was there with the police game.
He was like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
This was just a thing.
We were just doing a thing, a thing here.
And, you know, he had all the illegal drugs, not me.
Throw him under the bus.
And apparently what Chris had.
taken to doing.
And I'm not, I do not recommend this
at all. You do not recommend
what Chris did from KTLA.
From, from, I barely
recommend being a news anchor.
But then we go on to, you know, swipe it
on Grindr. You don't swap a Grindr.
You don't swap a Grindr.
And then,
uh, apparently he was,
uh, he was
putting rocks of meth
inserting them in his body.
Boy, you're trying to, you know,
smuggle them into the
On top of smoking some of the rocks.
He was getting a buzz from the insertion after.
So he was doing double-dosing.
He was absolutely double-dose.
From the top and the bottom.
He was using all kinds of special toys, special jellies, special massage tables at the hotel room.
What kind of hotel is this?
Do they have that or did he bring all that?
No, I think it's him.
He just brings it in.
Backs it up.
This is almost one a day.
And he gave the grinder guy.
Now this is where he's not in trouble.
He had all the drugs, not me.
He gave the grinder guy a full syringe of GHB.
And that is.
Look it up yourself.
Okay.
Growth hormone.
Look it up yourself.
And a bottle of Gatorade.
I guess when you take GHB, you lose a little salt.
I don't know.
Electrolites.
You need more electrolytes.
And then inserted some more.
And then did some poppers.
Well, poppers is big in the gay community.
It'll give you that euphoric sensation.
Yeah.
You know, as your GHB and getting inserting meth rocks.
Yeah.
And that was a little too much.
Are you sure?
Apparently the day before, the day before he was out partying.
Another cocktail.
And then he came back and he was doing the news and he had, he left her all.
that day because he said he didn't feel good
but he didn't go home.
He didn't feel good because he's so bright.
He was down at the
hotel
down at the local hotel.
Was it a hotel or a motel?
No, it was a motel.
It was a motel in Glendale.
So.
It's one of those that
the O doesn't turn on
and it's a umtel.
It's a um tell.
And there's like a big leave inside
the pool.
The pool's halfway empty.
and you know if you're starting to bring in all this stuff
he's been here before first floor
because you know he's trunk with him
you don't want to haul that stuff
oh he got he's drunk with him the first floor
he's backed in yeah
literally backed in 3B yeah and then
make sure he has the bed with the
there you have me did the stupid stories
I don't understand why these stories
I mean they're they're okay
is just another drug stories that are
yeah unique drug story
unique.
And people were upset at me of the inserting one.
Why?
Because I tweeted.
Did you have something to do with it?
No, no, no.
But when I tweeted out of the story, I was like, insert joke here.
Get it?
See, but did you put get it?
No, you told me to get it later.
That's funny.
Yeah.
I thought it was hilarious.
And I put the brackets and everything.
I put inside the brackets, I put insert joke here.
No, no, I get.
it. Okay, it was funny. I maybe even liked it. I don't know.
But honestly, you know, it's my social media posts.
I put it on Instagram and everything.
But, uh, I mean, I get it. But the, what if you, look, would you want to be funny?
Come to me. Okay. Oh, I will. I will.
Because I'll tell you. I was almost there, right? I was almost there. Oh, yes. You were there.
You were almost there. Was I there? Was I almost there?
You were funny. It would have been funnier. How were you made it funny?
Kind of like there's a lot of comedians doing Netflix specials.
They're funny.
It could be a lot funnier.
Speaking of Netflix, I just saw a notification.
Did you see the new Netflix coming up,
the Netflix original?
What?
It's going to make me mad probably.
It will make you mad.
Netflix is spending money on all these shows.
They need to rethink their spending.
It's a comedy special for Amy Schumer.
No, but you said a comedy special.
So we need something.
You're talking about a comedian.
Yeah, Amy Schumer.
No, but I'm saying, I know you said Amy Schumer, but that's, we're talking about a comedy special.
So we need somebody that's going to be funny.
Is Amy Schumer her new special growing comes out March 19?
Because, you know, she's pregnant.
So she's growing.
Yeah, she was on tour.
Had to stop a couple times.
Yeah, she had to stop.
She's fat.
I mean, she's growing.
She's not fat.
No, she's, don't start messing with the baby weight stuff because the women get all wound up about that.
Oh, baby.
That is not baby weight.
That way she had...
No, no, that's all...
No, what, fine.
No, fine, yeah.
No, no.
That's fine.
She had that way before.
And I'm upset at the poster.
She is not funny.
She's not funny.
Amy Schumer's, I'm sorry, she's not funny.
And they're going to give out, you know, whatever they gave her is too much.
Whatever they gave her is too much.
Look at the poster.
That's stupid.
Those of you are listening on the podcast chewing the fat, look at that poster.
I know.
Look at her.
She's just sitting there.
The legs apart.
Her legs spread and the guts.
coming out.
She does not.
A,
the picture is not funny.
No.
No.
Right there you're,
right there you've started
not being funny.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And that's their promo poster?
That is their promo poster
that they just got released.
I mean,
look at that.
I know you're listening,
but take a look at it.
Look at it right there.
What do you think of this?
See?
I told you.
I told you to look at it.
Yeah.
It's unbelievable.
Two hours ago,
that's when they just.
Oh.
So sometime today.
Yeah.
But why is it?
Netflix is spending a way.
way too much money on all these comedy specials
into people that are not funny, people
that are lost, they're spending money on shows
that are just wasted money.
And so many good shows, they just blow off.
Yeah, like Fluffy, he had a...
His new comedy special...
Fluffy was, I thought could have been better.
Now, he's funny, and I like him.
I like him. I'm not bad-mouthed him at all.
I think, you know, he's worth a special.
He's kind of like Ellen, all right?
They're both worth the special.
Probably not worth what they were paid for.
And the special itself isn't worth what they paid for.
Okay?
Is it worth what you pay for?
Really?
I don't know.
You only pay 14 bucks.
If I'm paying 14 bucks for Netflix.
Oh yeah, because the price just went up.
We talked about this.
Oh, yeah.
Ooh.
Ooh.
I mean, I guess.
I guess because I watched it.
but if I didn't do this for a living, would I have watched it?
Probably not.
You know, if I didn't want to tell you the listeners about it,
I probably wouldn't have watched it.
Maybe I would have, but like the Ellen thing.
I still haven't watched Ellen.
I still haven't watched it.
I still haven't watched it.
And you know right off the bat, and we've talked about Ellen.
She's not going to do anything that's going to screw up the Ellen show.
Did we talk about this yesterday?
No, we talked about it before.
Okay.
But Fluffy now.
Yeah.
Does his big show.
Out of Houston.
It was great.
He was in a big arena.
And, you know, he did a lot of his old stories.
And he thanked the people that were there from the very beginning and brought them in.
He told the story about his mom.
Hold on.
Spoiler.
Spoiler.
Spoiler.
Okay.
Continue.
If you don't want to listen about the Fluffy Special, you can fast forward 30 seconds.
If you can't take.
I don't know what they paid.
Do you know what they paid him for that?
Please hold.
Thanks for listening.
Don't put them on hold.
If you don't have them right in front of you,
then I want to know the answer.
Guess what?
They don't know what we're doing,
so you just keep talking.
I know,
but then you're going to come back
with the stupid answer
that doesn't fit anything
that I'm talking about at the time.
So, right, if I put them on hold,
then we come back and we're still talking about it.
And they're good to go
because they're still listening on hold.
I won't put them on hold then.
That's fine.
We can talk about, you know,
the ice tsunami that's coming up in Michigan.
Every year, not every year, but most years, you know, the ice tsunami and Lake Erie happens.
And you see footage.
They're making a big deal out of it this year because of climate change.
But it's not really, climate change is just winter.
You know, the thing that happens, I don't know, every year, winter.
And but it's really cool to watch.
And it's scary if you live up there, right?
Because the power lines all go down and houses get ruined and people get, you know, lives can be cost.
But these giant pieces of ice break off in the lakes and then push up onto shore because of the winds.
And it's like this ice tsunami coming up on the shore.
It's amazing to watch.
And if your house was right there, it would not be amazing.
You would be like, ooh, why did I buy a house here?
Please hold.
Thanks for joining us.
Okay, so I went on another hole because I just found out that Netflix approved.
a 10 episode series for Fluffy.
Okay, good.
Well, that's good.
Yeah.
But was that part of his special deal?
According to this, yes.
It includes two new stand-up comedy special
headlining by the comedian.
So he's working on three projects for Netflix right now.
Okay, he's got the stand-ups.
Two stand-ups.
And in one 10-episode series
just got order starting Fluffy.
It doesn't say the price tag
Because that's three projects
So
Yeah, but if it's all tapped into one deal
Yeah
I mean that's probably
It's got to be at least 10 million right
Yeah, it's not Ellen money
But I say half
Yeah that's 10 million is half of what they paid
Ellen, it's got to be 10 million right
But the reason why Brad Fluffy was
Because he made a joke about Netflix being the new comedy central
Yes he did
Oh it's point there
It's part of there
You're done in there?
Yeah.
You already give the spoiler alert alert.
You don't have to give it again.
Anyways, so it just goes back to what we're talking about
because Ray Vermano got us a Netflix special, comedy special.
Have you seen that yet?
The comedy special, yes.
Is that he good?
Oh, yeah, it's good because it's a different.
Spoiler, spoiler, spoiler, it's a different perspective.
Because Fluffy, he was at a stadium.
Yeah, big time.
Houston, the arena.
The arena.
what Ray Romano did, and this could be, you know, TV magic and, you know.
But according to him, what he did, he just got up and visited two clubs out of nowhere.
And he was not going to make an announcement.
He's just going to walk in, do a set in one club where he started, walk a block.
I like that idea.
And then go to another one.
It's a good idea.
Now, the Netflix cameras were already there.
So he's sitting there and then like.
So maybe some people knew about it wasn't all.
The manager, the club owner knew.
And like, and then they were like, hey, don't want about the cameras.
Some of it was got to be surprised, though.
Yes.
So he did two shows and one special.
He performed one bit, 20 minutes on the one club,
walked down the block, and the camera never stopped, you know, recording.
They filmed the whole thing, right?
Walk at the end.
That's a good idea.
And then I thought that was better than an arena because he was intimate.
It was in a comedy club.
Plus, especially, you know, Fluffy made a big deal.
Spoiler later.
about going to the small club
and practicing in the garage
with his neighbors and stuff.
Yeah. And it would have been
interesting to see that again.
Maybe just do the show for those two.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I'm doing the show for those two.
Just an idea fluff.
That's all.
You know, I'm here for you.
But then I also saw that.
There's some movie with Ray Romano that you saw.
I did see that, the Padleton or whatever.
Yeah, Padleton.
Yeah.
Because it came up and I was saying,
oh, it's new.
And I needed something new to watch because,
you know, Amy Schumer's shows are out there.
I can't. I'm not watching those. I'm just not going.
Well, you know, it runs in the last name.
The Schumer last name sucks all the way around. You got her cousin up in D.C.
Is that her cousin? They're related. They're like first cousin. They're just not like
distant family. I don't know what kind of cousin, but according to the articles and their Wikipedia pages, they're relative.
Oh, yeah, absolutely makes sense.
So I did watch Pellinson.
Netflix. I don't know what you're paying these people.
That one has two good actors.
It has...
It was really good.
Oh, okay.
I mean, the premise of the show is really good.
And that is...
Ray Romano and his buddy.
And Ray is kind of a special person.
He's not below the...
IQ.
He's not in the Tardland.
I'm sorry?
He's not in the Tardland, but he's special.
Is he on the rim?
He might be bouncing around.
You know, on the fence.
So he's on the fence.
And so he and his buddy are they do, you know, that's, they're buddies forever.
They're not gay and everybody thinks that they're gay, you know, that makes a thing.
So, and they, and so the one guy, there's a spoil, this is a complete spoiler alert for Pelton.
The one guy is going to, his buddy, Rerano's buddy, is going to die of cancer, finds out he's going to die cancer.
That's not a spoiler.
That's on the description of the show.
And so then that's the deal, right?
He wants to, he doesn't want to suffer through all the cancer stuff,
so he wants to get the medicine that's going to end his life and have Ray help him through it.
And the struggles with doing that is fascinating struggle, okay?
But the ending, Netflix, if you're having problems thinking of how ways to end shows, call me, this call me.
You email me, Chewy the Fat at the Blaze.com.
I'll get back to you.
I check it every day.
Can they call you via email?
Yeah, you call me via email.
What do you do for that?
Chewing the fat at the blaze.com dial.
And instead of hitting send, you dial comes right to me.
Okay.
It's new technology.
You probably don't know about it.
I'll explain it to you later.
Better yet, just hit send.
Don't try the new technology of dialing after you do the email.
Just hit send.
It'll come to me and I'll just read it.
But so it just wasn't very, the ending they tried to say was so I read one.
review that talked about this great ending and I
and so I kept waiting for this great ending
and I'm still waiting for this great ending to happen
and I don't think the great ending is going to happen
because I have already come up with two
better ways to end the movie right off the top of my
right at the end of the movie I was like why did they end it like that
why didn't we just end it I don't know like this or this
and it would have made it a lot better
they didn't call they didn't email
They didn't print out an email and hit dial.
Did you check your DM?
That's not part of the new technology.
All right, let's go to the break room, get something to drink,
and then I've got some great animal stories to talk to you about in the break room today.
I'll tell you that.
Oh, my gosh.
That was a Coke Zero, but I've also got Dr. Pepper here today.
So you're double fisting today?
I can't tell which one I like the most today.
Four times.
And do it one more time then.
All right.
Coke zero.
Okay.
I'm closing my eyes.
Okay.
Are you picturing the flavors?
You didn't swish.
You got to swish.
I Coke Zero still wins.
But the Diet of Dr. Pepper, I just needed a little break, a little change.
All right.
So great animal stories.
It really just, I could just read you the headlines.
And you, you know, we could be okay with that, I think.
but I'm going to go in depth in a couple of them
but I will just read you the headlines
just to let you know that
this is the kind of world that I live in now
where I'm saving animal stories for you
for you listening to chewing the fat
that's why one of the reasons you subscribe
to chewing the fat with me, Jeff Fisher
because in the break room we give you
animal and bug world stories
we go down the list
we have turtle disaster
otters in Milwaukee
Goat Fund me
Another gator in PA
Bedbugs
Fish from the sky
New Tyrannosaurus fossils found
And snake jim
Snake Jim
Start there
That's my favorite one
That's my favorite one is the snake gym
So apparently
And who knew this
I mean this should have gone without saying
Rattlesnakes
Incaptain
get fat.
They just hang around
because they're usually
scrambling around
looking for food,
but they're in the zoo
so they're just like
somebody better bring me a rat
really soon
because I'm not shaking my butt
I don't want to hear my rattle
I don't want to hear nothing
somebody better bring me some food.
So they have a
they've created
at the Melbourne Australia Zoo
they've created the rat
or I mean the snake gym
and it's devoted to keeping snakes and some other reptiles from getting fat.
And it's, I mean, they're so good.
Good for them.
Because what we need is we want more healthy, in-shaped snakes on the planet, don't we?
You know, that's important.
I do.
I mean, I do.
I vote for more healthy in-shaped snakes on the planet.
Now, what they do is they put them in buckets of water and make them swim around.
And so swimming apparently is important for snakes, keeps them in shape.
Now, someone asked the question, and I believe it's a fair question.
How could you tell if the snake really wants to swim or not?
And the zookeepers say, oh, you can tell.
You just know.
You're on the inside of snake world, and you're one with the snake, and you just know.
So that's good news.
That's really, really good news.
I'm glad to have that around.
It's what we need more of.
Again, let me repeat this because I want to be sure that you understand exactly what I'm saying.
We need more in shape, honed snakes on the planet.
No question.
We have otters spotted in Milwaukee.
Now, originally I might say otters in Milwaukee, so?
But apparently, otters in downtown Milwaukee are quite the site.
A group of otters made their unpresident appearance in downtown Milwaukee earlier this week.
They're just, you know, everybody was, they're walking around the streets of Milwaukee,
whistling their little otter song.
And, uh, what song is that?
You know, the little otter song.
What are the lyrics?
They just whistle.
It's a whistling thing.
It's an otter whistle song.
You don't know about the otter whistle song.
It's a whole part of being an otter.
Don't talk anymore.
You don't embarrass yourself.
You don't.
You're going to embarrass yourself if you start asking more questions about otter songs.
That's something that everyone knows.
It's a family thing.
It's an otter family thing.
Apparently, there's video of it, which I'm going to play it for you right now here on Chewing the Fat.
Look at that.
Oh, look at those otters in downtown.
Look at it.
Look!
That's the second time we brought up video for you today on chewing the fat.
Look at them.
Look at them.
Now, apparently, you know,
people are a little concerned of why this would happen.
They don't know.
They've had other confirmed sightings in Milwaukee County.
But in the actual city of Milwaukee, no, not so much.
Now, a lot of times they're in Milwaukee County.
A lot of times their families get together and they stroll along and whistle the happy
otter family song along the Milwaukee River.
But they don't go into down.
downtown Milwaukee.
So it could be,
I mean,
it could be something
climate change related.
I was going to say,
I think it's climate change.
Yeah.
And, you know,
so the otters were just,
just out walking
with their happy family,
uh,
whistling their special otter song.
Yeah,
the special otter family song.
Don't.
Don't start it.
If you don't know it,
don't.
You're going to make me mad if you don't know it.
We have another alligator in Pennsylvania found.
What is the deal with people in Pennsylvania?
These guys in Pennsylvania all think they can have pet alligators.
Well, to recap, the first one was an emotional support alligator.
Okay.
And this one actually was this.
This one was actually guarding drugs.
Well, what else?
What other animal are you going to have guarding dogs?
That's so Miami.
You know, Miami, the pit bulls, you know, Philadelphia.
So apparently this guy had his had his alligator.
guard dog his guard gator was guarding his fentanyl and his heroin stash oh that's some good drugs
yeah I know I know but well you mean bad drugs bad drugs bad drugs no man those are the
drugs that you want to guard with an alligator if you yeah if you were a bad guy yeah yeah yeah
had those bad horrible drugs that you were trying to sell it illegally yes that'd be a good
animal to keep them safe yes which is why the police nicknamed him el chompo yeah sad and other
from Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska.
Library officials
are now inspecting each item
as it's checked back into the libraries.
There's eight branches.
Eight libraries in Lincoln, Nebraska?
That's a lot.
Okay.
I mean, that...
Okay.
Apparently there's a bed bug outbreak.
A bed bug?
A bed bug outbreak.
So they're jumping into the books?
And they're jumping into the books
and they're bringing them into the books
and they're destroying.
the books.
So there's a rash of bedbugs reports all over to the theaters or the thrift
stores to the college dorms.
I mean, bedbugs, man, those bastards are everywhere.
You could quote me on that.
Yeah, a couple of weeks ago where they had closed down an entire court because of bedbugs.
Thank you.
That was one guy too brought him.
Yeah, one guy brought bedbugs into a courtroom.
And in South Carolina and it shut down the entire court.
Yeah, they shut the place down.
So you don't want bedbugs.
Bedbugs are bad.
So far we've learned that no bedbugs at the courthouse, no bedbugs at the library.
Where was the first place you said?
Courthouse.
A courthouse, yeah.
I thought you said some belt house.
Go ahead.
And the library.
You don't want the bedbugs at the other house either, come to think of it.
But that's not what you said.
That's not what I said.
Yeah, you said courthouse.
Yeah.
The other house.
The other house.
That's not a courthouse.
That is not a court house.
No.
No, that's a non-judgmental place there.
Yeah.
The other house.
You know, nobody gets judged there.
No, no.
It's a safe space.
Safe Space House.
Yes.
But you don't want bed bugs there.
No, no, you don't want bed bugs there.
Do not want bed bugs there.
And we have the flying fish story.
Every year, we get this coming out because I love this.
I love this.
I love it.
Hundreds of live fish are raining from the sky.
It's raining fish.
We get it every year around in different places.
Sometimes in Florida.
This is in Malta.
Big storms come pushing in.
Where's Malta?
Malta is just right over there on the planet.
Don't you know the planet?
Oh, the planet.
It's right there.
It's in this.
So it's not in this.
If you look at the globe.
Okay.
All right.
You bring up the globe.
Okay.
You hold the globe.
You got the globe.
I'm holding it right in front of your face.
Right in front of your face, all right.
Now you turn it.
Turn it.
Clockwise or Connor?
Turn it to the right.
So turn it to the right.
No, because clockwise is up and down left.
Oh,
sideways.
Sideways right.
Sideways right.
I'm turning it to the right.
Stop.
Now slide your right hand down a little bit.
Okay.
Just down a little bit.
Straight down.
Just bring it down the curve.
Right there.
That's Malta.
Stop about halfway down.
Right there, that's Malta.
Everybody knows that.
Well, now I know.
So big storms and winds gushed up and they're, you know, blowing fish in the air.
So it's actually a shark-nado in Malta.
A fish-nado, stop it.
And listen, what's happening at Yvra, I'm sorry.
I don't mean the sharks get mad at me for, they're not shark, okay?
No, they're not.
However, now, I'd rather have the fish-nato and the shark-nato because in the Amazon forest,
they've just found a dead humpback whale.
How did it get there?
Whale-Nado, my friend.
Whale-Nado?
Whale-Nado.
So, shark-nato, fish-nato, whale-nato.
We are doomed.
Something's coming, Jeff.
We are doomed.
Something is coming.
All right, so I've got a couple of stories here that kind of, I'm going to tie them together because I care about people.
And you know me.
You know me.
I care about people.
So there's a story today that I'm reading about the Walmart stores.
eliminating greeters.
Okay?
Now, really, they're not eliminating greeters.
That's a mistake.
What they're doing is they're eliminating greeters that are disabled.
That's never a good thing for Walmart, right?
Now, Walmart, they're not coming out and saying, hey, you're disabled, get out of here.
What they're doing is saying that the greeters now have to perform other duties.
So they're not there for greeting anymore.
They're there for greeting.
They're there for greeters.
But we also got to be able to clean up, direct people to certain aisles, help them, do some other stuff.
Is special people can't do that?
I guess they have to list up to 25 pounds, something like that.
So, you know, there's a couple of, there's plenty of disabled greeters that that's going to be a problem.
Okay, because they're, you know.
I'll come to Walmart.
Right.
so why you so that's going to be i really want to say this joke that's going to be a problem
but i could take it out no do not no no no the joke what's the joke
no you can't you're not no you're not telling that joke i can't no because really it's not a joke
and i'm offended by it are you oh so i'm so can i tweet about it so offended about it so
they're replaced them with i'll get this they're not they're not calling it
them greeters anymore. They're calling them
customer hosts.
Ew. Okay.
Now, so they've, now I said,
they've added some more responsibilities,
right? They've got to,
they've got to lift 25 pounds, clean up
skills, collect carts, and they've got
to be able to stand for long periods of time.
So if you're in a, if you're in a
wheelchair, you're automatically out.
Hey, isn't that what they called
the West World robots?
Customer host? Yeah.
Maybe.
Ooh, see if that's true.
It is true.
Look it up.
Mr. Smarty Pants over here was the one that told me the joke.
Okay, that's funny.
Look it up.
That's what I don't believe Mr. Smarty Pants over there in the corner,
but he's already proven a couple times on this show that questionable.
Okay?
So just look it up.
Just look it up.
You don't have to say it out loud.
Just look it up.
You know what's going on?
Just look it up.
It's all I'm saying.
What's so funny?
So I just asked him, like, is that what they're really called?
And he goes, yeah, they're called host.
Not customer host.
That's not customer host, though.
So again, like I said, it's questionable already.
So that's why I said, double check it.
Thank you.
So I'm right.
Just look it up.
They're called host.
Does it say that?
Did you look it up or you just go up by what he said?
I'm gumba what he said.
He told you what you thought was right.
Then he told him, well, no, that's not right.
It's wrong.
Look it up.
Oh, Lord, I don't want to have to put people on hold for this.
But I will.
I will because we're going to find out we're close to be putting on hold.
I'll tell you that.
I know it's a problem.
Yeah, it's called hosts.
Yeah, they're called hosts.
So they're not customer hosts.
Close.
Close.
But wrong.
Thanks for participating.
We're not giving you, you get a copy of the home game and you go home.
So I have a deal.
There was a big story coming out the last couple days about Facebook and how the content viewers are all freaking out.
The people that they've hired subcontracting to watch all the videos that come into Facebook.
And they decide what goes up and what doesn't.
And they're saying they moderate the Facebook video feeds.
and so they you know they the videos are coming in where they're horrific videos of of content that
are just horrific violence sex everything's bad right so they're really struggling with having to
see all this and not only are they struggling with that but they're struggling with not being
recognized that you know they want to be we're looking at all this horror on facebook doesn't recognize
us as a regular employee and well you're not you're a subcontractor shut up go work in your
corner and be quiet and apparently the way that they there was another big story a sideline story to
this that all these uh facebook uh moderators video moderators are all struggling because the only way
that they can cope with it is to party and have sex and do drugs themselves they have to mimic
right so i'm thinking what would you be doing if you weren't working for facebook
drugs and drugs same thing so you're getting paid for it right move on shut up now
it's just a thought from me
and it's just a thought of Facebook
you could use it you don't have to credit me
it's fine but maybe
you tell the people that are getting the boot
at Walmart a coming be
content viewers for us
content hosts
yeah come become content hosts for us
because I mean they don't have to say
hello welcome to Facebook
no you have to say that
would you start a video
yeah we saw a video welcome to Facebook start a video
and then all you got to do is sit there and watch videos
you don't have to pick up 25 pounds worth of stuff
you've got to be able to maneuver a mouse
right
so they're probably going to get paid more
than Walmart's paying them
even if you're getting jipped at Facebook
you're still making better than what Walmart's paying you probably
right there's a little bit different wage gap there
people that think they're not making much for Facebook
they're still making more than the Walmart greeter
right
so you're welcome
I've already got you new jobs ex-Walmart greeters
go become content
viewers for Facebook. A content host. Moderator hosts.
Whatever. Hello, welcome to Facebook.
Anyway, you're welcome.
