Well, we've got COVID-19. Civil unrest. locusts, volcanic eruptions, and hurricanes. D, some people are thinking Armageddon. And the reading of the Mayan calendar, of course, was wrong, according to a theory, a conspiracy theory on Twitter. So it's got to be right. And while the world didn't end on December 21st, 2012,

as originally prophesized by the calendar readers, the theorists, the doomsday theorists, were convinced the world was going to end. So everybody went to the Mayan sites in Mexico and Guatemala. They're still alive and they left with their heads hung low. Now, following the Julian calendar, we are technically, according to the theorists, in 2012. Well, the number of days lost in a year due to the shift in Gregorian calendar is 11 days for 268 years using the Gregorian calendar 1752 to 2020 times 11 days equals 2,948 days.

2,948 days with 365 days a year equals 8 years. Oh, that makes the end of the world 2020. That's what scientist Apollo Tagloquin, Tagloquin, Tagg, G. A-L-O-G-U-I-N tweeted last week. Now, if he's correct, adding up all the missed days, then the end is sometime this week or next. Now, he's deleted the series of tweets, so...

Never mind. I guess the Mayans just got tired or bored and stopped at 2012. Sure, it's summertime, and that means grilling and burgers. Not so fast. A meat producer is recalling 42,922 pounds of ground beef. Those products are being recalled because of a possible e-coli contamination.

The products were produced on June 1 by New Jersey-based lakeside refrigerated services and were shipped to retail locations nationwide. Oh, okay. Well, that's not too bad. bad, right? Well, nationwide, uh, the, market side butcher and Thomas Farms, market side butcher products, uh, sold at Walmart. Um, the list one, two, three, four, five, six, seven different packages, a one pound vacuum package, a one pound vacuum package, three pound, one pound, one pound, one pound, are all part of the recall. And I'll

tweet that recall out at the Jeffrey JFR this afternoon. Just be careful when you're getting your ground beef to make into patties for your grill.

How was your weekend? Well, hopefully if you were, you know, already on the three-week quick-start program from ReliefFactor.com, you were in less pain. but I am so torn over the shooting in Atlanta. I cannot tell you. You originally, you know, you read the story, and it talks about how the suspect,

the deceased man, Rayshard Brooks, was fatally shot by police. And you think, wow, another one, another black man shot by a police officer. What is going on? And then you read the story and then you watch all the videos. I spent, you know, a lot of time watching as many videos as I could find of the shooting. Some were short and of different angles and all the angles from the store and cell phones and police cams.

And look, Mr. Brooks, rest his soul, was resisting a restaurant. arrest and stole a weapon from a police officer and then tried to run away and then turned and fired that weapon, albeit a taser, toward the police officers and the other police officer shot him. Now he was taken to the hospital and died in the hospital after two gunshot wounds to the back. Now it happened really, really fast, and I haven't seen any video of. of where he actually, where you see him get shot and fall to the ground.

You see the police officers fire and, you know, was his back turned and he was running away? I think, you know, he, it happened in seconds, and he fired the taser, and then the officers, you know, he fired the taser, the officers fired as he was turning and running away. And I'll tell you why I'm torn, because it, on the surface,

you want to say, why didn't they just let him run away? They knew who he was. He had already resisted arrest. They were wrestled with him. He had the taser. He fired at them. He was running away.

Why didn't they just run away? They could have, you know, let him run away, and they could have found him later. Well, could they have found him later? Would they have found him later? He has a weapon now. I know it's a taser. Still a weapon.

And you talk about, well, the police can't have it both ways. Was a lot of the talk this weekend, they can't say in court that it's not a deadly weapon and then say it's a deadly weapon when it's fired upon them. Well, yes, you can. If he gets hit by the taser and then the suspect takes their weapon and they're incapacitated and then they get shot dead, that's a deadly weapon, that isn't it?

It's the beginning of it. I know. And when you hear the news of shot for sleeping in a Wendy's drive-thru. That's really not the case. You know, he was sleeping in a Wendy's drive-thru because he was under the influence of something. We're guessing alcohol since he blew into the breath-alizer

and, you know, came back drunk as why they were going to arrest him. He was really nice up to that point. When you watch the video, he was, you know, conversational. And then he blew into the breathalyzer and he was drunk so he was going to get arrested. And as soon as we attempted to put the handcuffs on, that's what he becomes aggressive and tries to get away. And, you know, broke away from the two police officers. Look, the police chief has resigned.

The police officer has already been fired. The other police officer has been put on administrative leave. the mayor of Atlanta has said that there's a difference between what you should do and what you can do or something like that, whatever a quote was. You know, and that's why I'm torn because in the heat of the moment, the police officers are struggling with a person who has broken away that was going to be arrested, taken one of their weapons, trying to run away in a public setting with a weapon. and, you know, they are in the heat of the battle. So sad that this has to happen. Everything was fine. And you say, okay, well, why didn't they just let him run away and he'd still be alive today?

Well, why didn't he just get arrested? Why didn't he just take the arrest and he'd still be alive today? Those are answers we can't answer. But of course, we're going to protest and riot in the streets of Atlanta and we're going to burn down the Wendy's because, well, it's there, right? And it was there that it happened. So we got to burn down the Wendy's. I mean, it's close to being out of control.

And I hope that we find a way to bring it under control. That is for sure. Now we have. A huge mess still in Minneapolis, St. Paul, which was the flashpoint because of the death of George Floyd. And right now in the Twin Cities, there's more than 1,500 buildings that have been vandalized or looted. Some have been reduced to rubble. Many have just been completely destroyed. I guess reducing it to rubble isn't completely destroyed.

But that's what the story said. I mean, it's amazing. And yet we have plenty of superstars donating to the BLM movement and donating to George Floyd's family. But they aren't donating to the more than 1,500 businesses and help them try to relive. Now, Barbara Streisand has donated Disney stock

to the young daughter of George Floyd. There's no telling exactly how much stock she got, but thank you, Babs, for doing that. I appreciate it. I know Disney stock is, you know, a worthy gift, so I want to thank you. On behalf of the George Floyd family for, you know, making that happen for the young daughter. Look, good for her. And, you know, I hope that she never has to, you know, want again. and, you know, she certainly didn't deserve what's happened.

So, you know, I appreciate that. But I do also wonder how we actually feel about all these businesses and homes being destroyed. And then, to top it all off, we still have the autonomous zone of Chaz still going on all weekend long. Now, they've, you know, remarkably still have their... List of demands. We told you on Friday the list of demands from Detroit, but we still have a, you know, Chaz is still wanting to be their own independent nation, I guess. Okay. I would say, okay, become your own independent nation. And I get that you want to be, you know, your own independent nation.

and you want people to help you out. So, you know, there's a reason why they have the giant list of, you know, what supplies are needed. You know, they have this huge list with what supplies that are needed in jazz. So why not, you know, I guess if you want to give to them, good for you. They need clothes. They need, you know, pants, shirts and belts and shoes, mostly male oriented. They need ice.

According on this list, they have in parentheses the good kind, so they don't want the bad kind of ice. They want cigarettes and lighters. Lanterns, flashlights, headlamps, portable solar charges, gatorade, electro-like powder, backpats, reusable bags, tents, sleeping pads, pillows, tarps, track phone. And minutes cards, by the way.

Body lotion, yeah, shoes. I guess those would be the women's shoes, or children, bedding, comforters, zip ties, folding chairs, laundry bags, personal fans, body wash, disinfected, sunglasses. I would say, when do we, you know, when are they going to ask if we cut off? I mean, if they're an independent nation, do we treat it like an independent nation and cut off cell service, cut off power, cut off water, and then I guess we charge them? I mean, remember when we used to joke around, or at least I do anyway.

You know, for years I used to joke around, and it's not even a joke anymore about, you know, buying an island and becoming an independent nation, and then turning and declaring war on the U.S. so that we would get money from the U.S. so that they would give us money for not going to war against the U.S. That's not a joke anymore. That is not a joke anymore. And everybody, of course, you know, has their list of demands. Well, if you're an independent nation, then become an independent nation. And then you can meet with world leaders and, you know, get your demands and your grievances and we can get started on it, right?

Right. Of course we can. Everybody has their demands. I saw the University of Texas and their football players. They have a list of demands now as well. they have a letter sent out that says what starts here changes the world and they have a list of demand certain buildings on campus to be renamed, including buildings named after famous former University of Texas professors and administrators who were open segregationists. And the document also demands the permanent removal of the statue of former Texas Governor James Hogg, which has been a source of controversy for years. And they also made a list of other demands.

They want a more diverse statues on campus, as we said, by artists and sculptors who are people of color. Modules for incoming freshmen discussing the history of racism on campus and providing racial and justice awareness. They want an outreach program for inner cities, Austin, Dallas, and Houston. More diversity in the Hall of Fame to include permanent black and. Athletic History Exhibit. Athletics donating 0.5% of the annual earnings to black organizations and BLM movements. They want to rename some part of the stadium after Julius Wittier, the first black football player at UT, get rid of the Eyes of Texas and have a new song written for us to sing. Do not require athletes to sing the song. I'm almost with them there,

but it's a classic Eyes of Texas song. But just let me say that it's not the first. It's not the first time that players have made demands of their football program. Way back, way back in 2012, a football player by the name of Elvis Fisher, yes, my son, held a press conference and wanted some demands that he posted on social media, like the University of Texas. And his demands were a tad bit different, but he did make demands. of the football program. What's going on, everybody?

It's me, Elvis Fisher. Apparently, all thought that I was lying about this little press conference today. Yeah, the only people that showed up is actually KUMU. Yeah, they showed up. But, yeah, it must have been like a sick prank to actually make it look like people care or something because I don't know where they're at. You know, the whole stadium's locked up. It's kind of sad really.

So, yeah, you know, I got a few demands that I need. Must be met before I play football for the University of Missouri again. First thing, needs to be new soap in the locker room. I'm tired of that cheap, 99-cent Walmart soap. I got old dry skin as it is. I got some dove or some axe in there. A billion dollar complex. We got a tiger in the front of the complex that'll follow you around.

that'll follow you around an animated tiger, but we don't have better soap. Let's see, I want my own personal segue. Yeah, I don't wanna have to walk to the practice field. I don't wanna have to walk to the dining hall. I don't want to walk to the weight room. I mean, I'm not trying to lose weight here. I gotta be over 300.

Y'all want me over 300 to play in the SEC? Yeah, we need a segue. Let's see, oh yeah. Yeah, on the back of my jersey, I do not want to have Fisher on the back of it anymore. From now on, I want my Twitter handle to be on the back of my jersey. So, yep. I don't want to sweat on game day anymore getting ready. I sweat so much on game day just getting ready for the game that I want to have five or six,

just my personal assistance on game day to assist me. to get you ready, so I don't have to sweat. All my stuff laid out, yeah, they just take care of it. So I don't got to sweat anymore. I'm not sweating anymore before the game. Nope. And last but not least, you know, I need some new shirts. I need some Missou football shirts.

Look what I'm wearing. We're an AT&T Conbow shirt. That was back in, what was that, 08, January 1st? My red shirt year? I haven't got a new shirt since. It's ridiculous. I need some new shirts. And until these are met,

I won't be seeing y'all in the camp Wednesday. But if they're met by Wednesday, then I guess I'll see you all there. Peace. So it's not the first time that demands were made of a university. Now, I will say that the demands were not met. Just like there was a petition asking to remove the Thomas Jefferson statue on the University of Missouri's campus.

They said no. As, just like they told Elvis, uh, no. So he, you know, regrettably caved and showed up at camp. I know what you're thinking. It's almost impossible to believe, but it's true. All right, let's go to the break room. I need to, seriously need a drink of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. I'll tell you that.

And then when you're, you know, when you're thinking to yourself, man, you know, I need to say something to the fat. Well, you can email

chewing the fat at the blaze.com like Scott did. He was unhappy with the show. He emailed us at Chewing the fat at the blaze.com. And his email read, I was told your program that the slogan for 2020 was going to be no bro. I was all for it. I even created a discus account with the name no bro to show my support. 2020 has been anything but the no bro year. People all across the country keep saying yes. Whatever you say, whether it be the lockdown, riots, or any other insanity from this year.

I am totally on board with the no bro. movement. We need to take the year back and turn it into the no bro year. Counting on your podcast and its strong influence on America to lead the charge, make no bro great again. Loyal listener, Twitter follower, and essential employee. Scott. Well, thank you. Scott, I appreciate it. Now we can have multiple slogans. I mean, I recall the, you know, no bro campaign. I'm sure that this was brought on because on Friday I talked about the chewing the fat. You miss a second.

You miss something. Because when CTF records, news happens as, you know, the slogan. Well, that's the slogan for the show. That's not the slogan for the country. So I understand your unhappiness, Scott, and I appreciate your email. But, you know, relax. Okay? No, bro.

is still out there, still hanging tough. Okay? Thanks for your email, though. And I appreciate it very much. Did you see where Chrissy Teigen, bless her heart, she's having her breast implants removed. And they're making such a big deal about it. And her kids are all happy with their little get rid of your boobies campaign.

Thanks, Mommy, we love you. And good. I'm glad she's, you know, making it a family affair. It's important. I mean that. But it is kind of, kind of strange that, you know, the great runway superstar, Chrissy Teigen, is now saying, oh, I've got to get rid of these breast implants. Okay.

Well, good for you. It only helped you become this multimillionaire, multi-millionaireist. you know, here in America and around the world. And now, eh, I've made enough money. And, you know what, they're going to like me for who I am. So I can just get rid of these implants. Good luck. God bless. Speaking of good luck, God bless.

I'm watching a show on Netflix, The Night Clerk. And it was okay. I enjoyed it. It was fine. And it was, you know, I'm, again, I wasn't, I wasn't too crazy about the ending. And I won't spoil it for you. Although, I usually don't care much. But I was watching, you know, I was watching the night clerk.

And in the movie, uh, Helen Hunt, he plays the mother of the guy that's, you know, the night clerk. And holy cow. Helen I don't know what's going on but I can't get over the plastic surgery I mean

I know my theory is three cuts to clownface and I know you're not at clownface yet but you're what two and a half cuts something like that I mean maybe she was part of a show that I wasn't aware

that probably never aired like plastic surgeon gone wild You know, you can use that if you want. Go ahead and create that. It may be something that's for, you know, a Quibi show. You know, plastic surgery gone wild. But just a little, a little, we'll just leave it at a little,

because I like Helen. But I think what threw me the most is I just got done, you know, I don't know, a week or so ago, watching Twister. And I know that was 100 years ago. And everybody looked different 100 years ago. But Helen is still trying to look the same as she did 100 years ago. Only...

Woo. And we'll just... Just leave it at that. Okay? And we also found out this weekend that SpongeBob SquarePants is gay. Yay! Man, we needed to know that. Did we really need to know that?

Does it matter one iota in our life if SpongeBob is gay? On top of which, he's a sponge. Is that even possible? I guess. I guess it is. I guess it is. And congratulations to HBO Max, who has decided that we are going to put gone with the wind back on our platform.

That's just, you know, we're going to do it. And that's the way it is. And if you don't like it, tough. But we're HBO Max and we can do it. Okay? But because we're HBO Max and we're, you know, we have the platform. We're going to let Jacqueline Stewart, a Turner Classic movies host and professor in the Department of Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Chicago is going to, make an announcement before the show

so you can hear that before you actually watch the show and it's going to be why we can't turn away from gone with the wind. Now I wonder, I just have a question. Not that I would ever do it, but I wonder if they will allow a person to fast forward

through the statement from Jacqueline Stewart. I don't want to. Man, no way, do I want to fast forward through that? Or will they make you sit through it? It's just a thought. I mean, you're going to be lucky to be able to mute this thing, let alone fast forward through it.

No way. No way. Unavailable at this time. You're sitting through it until you get to the movie. Got it? Okay. All right. You got it?

Good. Then let's keep it that way. And beware of the new Saharan dust. I know, you're thinking, wow, is that a new drug that's hitting the street? No, although it could be. The Sahara dust is the, you know, the dust cloud that comes from the Sahara Desert

off the coast of Africa, and it's moving westward toward the United States. So there's a possibility that concentrations of that dust is going to drift through, you know, southeast Texas, the southern southwest states of the U.S., you know, next week. So just be ready for Saharan dust. It doesn't bother anything, right?

None of that dust bothers anything. If you've got allergies and stuff, don't worry about it. It's up in the clouds. It's way up there. It makes the clouds hazy. It doesn't affect you any, right? Right. Won't have any impact on human health at all.

But, look, If you notice flare-ups, you know, asthma, lung conditions, you know, just stay inside. But just beware of Saharan Dust. Oh, that's almost a bad name. And a drug. I like it. All right, we've got the coronavirus daily update. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Nah, not really. Again, no one really seems to care about the numbers, about we're hearing news about different airlines, closing down and stopping flights, but, ha, nobody cares. It's okay. They do care about, well, you know, there's some news in the Rona Mill, like cruise ship workers. I told you a little while ago they were still stuck at sea. we still have about 40,000, according to this report, of cruise ship workers still stuck at sea. Uh, nowhere to go. Incredible.

Incredible. According to the Miami Herald, they are reporting that at least 42,000 workers remain trapped on cruise ships without paychecks. Some are still suffering from COVID-19. And three months after the industry has been. completely shut down. I mean, they're just sailing around, looking for places to dock. 600 people fell ill on the Carnival Corporation's Diamond Princess. Well, it was quarantine off Japan. 14 of those passed away. I mean, wow. Now, 3,000 Carnival Cruise Line workers

got off in Croatia earlier this month and caught rides and flights home, you know, across Europe. I don't know why we just don't send all the ships to Croatia then if that's the place that's taking them. It doesn't I mean they're ships, right? They can go across the ocean. I mean, maybe they don't have any gas.

I don't know. Aren't they solar powered? No, they're not? Oh, okay. I mean, Royal Caribbean, flew more than 1,200 Filipino crew members home last week from Greece, Dubai, the United States, Barbados.

I mean, let's just find a port that's going to take them, like say, I don't know, Croatia and said the ship's there. I mean, let's get these people back home, please. They've got to find a way. They're smart enough to find a way. Are they not? Can we not please be a little bit smarter? just a little.

And we have news from the NBA planning to restart the season in late July at the Disney campus in Orlando. Players are a little torn, though, and not because of the Rona. One NBA player told ESPN, once we start playing basketball again, the news will turn from systemic racism

to who did what in the game last night. and we just can't have that. That's unacceptable. Oh. Okay. Well, one player, Austin Rivers, encountered that particular statement by saying, resuming play,

would allow players to collect salaries and financially power the BLM movement. So, which is it? Do we want to, I mean, do we want to talk about the NBA and get your names and your game back in the news? Or do you want to not turn away from systemic racism? Or you could turn to systemic racism and financially power the BLM movement? I know. I know.

I'm looking forward to it as well. And proving that we really don't care about the COVID-19 infections. I mean, we kind of do and we want to pretend that we do. But, you know, we have been having all the protests around the country and that's okay. But anything, say a Trump rally would be bad, right? So, and remember, that's what it was prior to the protest riots. Prior to the George Floyd protests was all the gatherings. were bad. Now it's good. Well, they have hired all these contact tracers in New York and obviously

around the country to figure out, you know, where it's been. If you've contracted COVID-19, who you came in contact with, what's going on. Well, if you're a contact tracer in New York, you've been informed, look, don't ask about the protests. You can find out, you know, you've got COVID-19, you know, that's great. And, you know, we want you to find out exactly what happened, but we don't want you to ask about the protests. That's fine. You don't need to worry about any of that protests.

So we're already throwing the numbers off on if these protests created a new virus wave. Thank you. Appreciate it. No problem. I know New York is a big believer in keeping distance. and making sure people stay their social distancing. I mean, they've got their parks department and recreation people now are under the new titles of social distancing ambassadors.

So I wondered if they're protesting close to the park, do these people say, hey, protesters, could you mind spreading apart a little bit more, please? I doubt it. I doubt it. I mean, I would fear for my safety by asking them to do that. But, you know, good luck. I mean, they really should as, you know, social distancing ambassadors.

That's really what they should be doing, right? And an incredible story as part of the headline of Chuck E. Cheese creating, you know, going bankrupt and actually just shutting down because of, you know, the pandemic and the shutdown of restaurants. They've been trying to stay alive by being a separate pizza takeout location. from, you know, as calling themselves Pascal's pizza and wings on delivery apps and that, you know, trying to stay alive. But they're talking about not being able to open back up at all. And then in this story, it talks about some outposts of IHop Denny's Ruby Tuesday, TGI Fridays, and more have permanently shuttered due to hardships brought on by the pandemic. one franchisee operating 49 iHOP locations filed for bankruptcy done the founder and managing partner of ruby tuesday said many restaurants are going to be closed and not be able to open up a denny's

franchisee closed 15 locations down completely and steak and shake tGI Fridays many of those under the franchisee title closed, gone, have a nice day. So, very sad. And that's, think of the jobs. I mean, are they going to open back up?

So it's coming up on summer travel and vacation and you thought to yourself, you know, we've been stuck in the house for, you know, months now. Do we really want to go anywhere?

You know, we're going to get in, we're worried about the second wave of the Rona. And are we? Are we really worried about the second wave? And, you know, some people are. And then I see a story that talks about the Canada, U.S. border is closed but americans are still coming through here's how and you know caught my caught my attention because i'm thinking first of all why uh doesn't make you know oh no the canadian borders closed just wanted to go there too gosh darn it just wanted to go to canada well apparently if you because you're supposed to if you go to canada uh and you're supposed and you're going to stop somewhere i guess Let's see.

It's happening. So a restaurant server was saying, hey, where are you guys from? Well, they're from Texas, and they were up on vacation, and she questioned how they got into Canada when the borders are closed to visitors. And they replied, well, we told the border patrol that we were driving to Alaska, and they just let us in. And now they're just, you know, they're stopping and going and doing what they want. So they don't have, they weren't wearing masks, those bastards. There was no distancing. well, they were family and they were together,

so they really don't need to distance. And there's no 14-day quarantine. Oh, my gosh. So apparently this has been going on with other visitors as well. So there's a loophole, and people are finding it. So all you have to do is just, you know, if you were thinking to yourself, you know, might as well go to Canada.

We've got nothing else going on. We've been stuck in the house. And we might as well go to Canada, right? Right, let's go to Canada. Okay, let's go to Canada. That's the way to get in. Just tell them you're driving to Alaska. Now, you're supposed to drive to Alaska with limited stopping

and no overnight staying, and you're supposed to just get there as fast as you can. But, you don't have anybody checking on you. So, huh? I know. I know. I know what you're thinking. Man, do I want to go to Canada now?

Now that I know how to get in, I'm going. Me too, my friends. Me too. Nothing. Nothing says a vacation. Like driving across Canada. You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack. But she's never told her side of the story until now.

People assume that I'm like this pervert. My name is Natalie Robamed, and in my new podcast, I talked to Allison to try to understand how she went from TV actor to cult member. How do you feel about having been involved in bringing sexual trauma at other people? I don't even know how to answer that question. Alison After Nexium from CBC's Uncover is available now on Spotify.
