So join the more than 400,000 Canadian entrepreneurs who already count on us. And contact Desjardin today.
Starting point is 00:00:25 We'd love to talk. Business. And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Welcome to it. It being chewing the fat. How in the world are you? You look great. I have a warning for you.
Starting point is 00:00:42 If you are one of the people that have received seeds in the mail from a suspicious package, say, from China, you're being asked not to open the seeds. Um, apparently, uh, if you get seeds in the mail, it's bad thing. If I must admit, if I were to get a package with seeds, not knowing where it's from and you see that it's from China, I would not open those seats. I don't know that I would call the authorities, although they're asking you to call the authorities, which is probably a good thing. And, uh, let them take a look at them. at the contraband.
Starting point is 00:01:32 But I'm just saying don't open the seeds. So the great country of Iceland. You know Iceland. You love Iceland, right? Got about, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:01:54 20 or 30 people live in there. Actually, I think what? It's 400,000 or something like that. I don't think it's even 400,000, but it's not a lot. There's more people on the roads that drive back and forth to Mercury Studios every day
Starting point is 00:02:14 than live in Iceland. But they have a tourism group that have devised a, well, what they're calling a clever ad campaign. But, you know, it's kind of cute, I guess. So they've devised a, well, devised a plan to get people thinking about Iceland.
Starting point is 00:02:36 And what they want you to do is send them a scream. They acknowledge the difficult times many people are experiencing and wrote, looks like you've been through a lot. It looks like you need to let it out. It looks like you need Iceland. And they have a website called looks like you need Iceland. Now they have several speakers, audio speakers, that they have placed around the country, and they're going to play your screams through those speakers for the world in Iceland to hear.
Starting point is 00:03:27 I'm guessing more people will probably hear it from here than hear it in Iceland. but, you know, okay. Now, I went to the website and I listened to some of the screams, and I'm a little disappointed. Some are, you know, screams. And others aren't really screams. They're just trying to be ha ha, funny, and they're not really screams.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Some of them, pretty good. So imagine, imagine, if you will. imagine if you will walking through the lush dirt of Iceland and hey there's a giant speaker
Starting point is 00:04:17 and you hear this okay those were just a few examples uh yeah yeah from London Simone Francisco from Munich uh Arlen from the US
Starting point is 00:05:12 where's Mali in London? Some really good ones. There were others that were you know, really sad and pathetic. But what I would, you know, what I would offer as a part of this Iceland campaign looks like you need Iceland.com.
Starting point is 00:05:33 If you want to participate, you should go to the website. It looks like Iceland.com. And when you do your shout, whatever it is, tag chewing the fat in it as well. Looks like you need chewing the fat as well as Iceland when you're doing this. So I want to hear your screams.
Starting point is 00:05:53 And I promise you, I promise you, they will get aired on this very podcast. So just like Iceland, you need to let it out. Chewing the fat is here for you as well. Now you can choose whatever scream you want. You heard the screams that I aired a little bit ago, and those were pretty powerful. Now, there's also screams like Camilla from London. That was a little sad, actually, but that was her scream. See the difference?
Starting point is 00:06:44 Camilla in London. Gabrielle in Los Angeles. Let it out. So if you're going to do it, at least be prepared to share it with chewing the fat, please. And, you know, is it me? Or is chicken everywhere these days?
Starting point is 00:07:02 Everywhere I turn, there's chicken. Like tomorrow is National Chicken Wing Day. But today, if you're listening live on the 28th of July, 2020. Beginning at noon eastern time, KFC and Crocs are going to come out with their new clogs, painted to look like a KFC fried chicken bucket, and they're going to be topped with chicken-scented drumstick gibbets charms. And they're going to be sold on Crox website. So have fun. I guess the shoe collab first premiered at the New York Fashion Week way back in February, almost another lifetime ago. They were modeled by Korean artist MLA MA, who, I mean, Blama, who doesn't, I mean, I am fashion.
Starting point is 00:08:01 I'm well aware of the Korean artist Blama. Their shoes are going to be about 60 bucks a pair. And how much, and this is how much they believe in the found. The scholarship foundation from KFC, the scholarship fund for employees, $3 from each pair. A whole $3. There's $60 a pair. A whole $3 from each pair, buck 50 a shoe, is going to go toward the KFC Foundation scholarship fund for employees. So you can well, well believe that they are all for the scholarship fund for employees.
Starting point is 00:08:39 I mean, they're giving three whole dollars. from the sales. That's nice of them. Okay, I got it. They don't have to give anything. And they are. But they are beautiful looking. They're beautiful looking.
Starting point is 00:08:58 I mean, there's, nothing says fashion. Like a crock clog. Decorated as a KFC chicken bucket with the chicken-scented drumstick Jimbitt's charms on the top. so man you want to get jump right on that you want to get right on it and again chicken is everywhere chick-fil-a at least a chick-fil-a in in virginia has decided that they want to help out
Starting point is 00:09:29 they want to help out with the free food vouchers in exchange for coins so you know that we have the big coin shortage and uh you know we heard from the u.s. mint saying that that consumers need to begin spending their coins. Well, okay. But this particular Chick-fil-A, you know, they're saying that, hey, we'll give you, you know, free food vouchers if you use coins,
Starting point is 00:10:01 which I think is kind of cool. So I just going to hand out, if you bring $10 in coins to exchange for $10 in paper cash, they're going to give you free food vouchers. Is it say what? They're actually, how much they're going to give you? company plans to host the promotion tomorrow if you're in Virginia,
Starting point is 00:10:20 Lynchburg location, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. The Lynchburg location. If you bring in $10 worth of coins, they'll give you $10 in paper cash, and they're going to thank you with a Chick-fil-A card towards a future purchase. Limited time offer until need is met, maximum 10 coupon cards per guest only at chick-fil-a at wards road okay it doesn't say though they keep
Starting point is 00:10:54 saying they're going to give you a card it doesn't say what they're giving you for this thing though and this needs to happen around the country if chick-fil-a did this at every chick-fil-a we'd coins would be re-admitted into our lifestyle at uh at restaurants that's how busy chick-fil-es are. So towards a future purchase. Now the card they show, be our guest, has chick-fil-a-nuggets, a grilled chicken sandwich, or a regular chicken sandwich. So for $10 worth of coins, you get a card that will give you either a Chick-fil-A, chicken sandwich, the original or spicy, Chick-fil-A nuggets, original or grilled, looks like a 10-count and a grilled chicken and or a grilled chicken sandwich.
Starting point is 00:11:46 That's not bad. That's not bad for $10 worth of coins. You get a $10 bill and a card for that. That needs to happen around the country. That, my friends, needs to happen around the country. Another thing that brought chickens into the forefront for me today is NBA player, Lou Williams, is being investigated by the league for allegedly visiting a strip club. after he left the Disney World
Starting point is 00:12:14 Coronavirus bubble to attend a funeral. So he's down at Disney World and they're keeping the NBA players in a bubble, but some of them get special dispensations to leave and go do their thing, whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:12:28 And he's obviously his thing is a funeral. But he was photographed inside Magic City strip club on Thursday night. Had a drink in his hand and he was wearing an NBA face mask. So he was wearing a mask.
Starting point is 00:12:45 You know, he was following rules in Georgia and the NBA, wearing a mask, you know, out holding a drink at Magic City Strip Club. Now, according to Mr. Williams, he attended a dinner at Magic City following the funeral. And, I mean, of course, when you get done with the funeral, where do you go for your after-furnal dinner? Magic City strip club. Hello. Now, according to reports,
Starting point is 00:13:18 that's where he goes for wings. He lived in Atlanta for quite some time. They actually have at Magic City wings named after him, which I think that's kind of cool. Right? Right. Come on now. They have the Lou Will lemon pepper barbecue wings
Starting point is 00:13:42 at Magic City. city. And, you know, just a few blocks from the home court there in Atlanta. Last time I was in Atlanta, in that neck of the woods, actually, it's such a beautiful place. And it actually is kind of a cool place to be in downtown Atlanta, although I saw a crack deal go down. And I watched crack being smoked in a parking lot between cars. So, I mean, Is it better than he was at the strip club eating wings, eating his own wings? Probably. Probably.
Starting point is 00:14:21 If he's out in the parking lot, he could have been smoking crack. Oh, and then there's the story of the blue lobster. Isn't that chicken of the sea? Oh, wait, no, that's tuna. The red lobster employee, apparently doing his job, getting ready, getting the lobsters ready for dinner in Ohio, found a rare blue lobster. And instead of saying,
Starting point is 00:14:49 wow, man, look at that blue lobster. I think I'll eat that. Or I'll make sure a special customer gets that. Nope. No. They got a hold of the Akron Zoo. And they gave the zoo the Blue Lobster. Now, according to this, one of every two million lobsters is,
Starting point is 00:15:11 blue right wow now according to the zoo the blue shell is due to a genetic anomaly oh thank you appreciate it so a zoo member picks up the lobster at the red lobster and off it goes to the zoo so now they have their the blue lobster is in just a different kind of prison while this lobster has been shipped to a red lobster in ohio and was all ready to be eaten and have this distress ended. Nope. We're going to send it to a new prison at the zoo
Starting point is 00:15:51 and let people just look at it and say, hey, there's a blue lobster. Bang on the glass. Hey, blue lobster. Look at me. Look at me. So they named it Claude. And they gave him a special tank at the Akron Zoo called Claude's Man Cave. But it's a lobster.
Starting point is 00:16:11 it be Claude's lobster cave? It doesn't make any sense. Anyway, it's housed in their Komodo Kingdom building, which obviously is closed to the public. I mean, there's coronavirus out there, so that's the way it goes. Now, not long ago, in 2019, which seems like 18 million years ago, they found a blue lobster at a Massachusetts restaurant and they sent it to a local aquarium
Starting point is 00:16:46 and the local aquarium just ate it. No, that's not true. So I guess they found a cotton candy colored lobster. Not once, but twice. So, I mean, it was supposed to, the red and black lobster are one in a million fine. They found it twice. Maybe it was from the same.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Maybe it was from the same. cluster, right? The same mom kicked out a couple of cotton candy lobsters in the same area of lobster hunting in that same month they found the two cotton candy colored lobsters.
Starting point is 00:17:23 But they're not with, they're not with Claude in the Ohio Zoo. I'll tell you that. So, I mean, Claude lucked out. He's in his own special prison. So the trend is started.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Close on Thanksgiving. Target and Dix are following Walmart's lead and closing stores on Thanksgiving. There's plenty of other stores talking about, you know, changing the way they sell for the holidays. You know, instead of Thanksgiving being the Black Friday pre-Strees. sales or the beginning of the Black Friday sales. So they're going to close on Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 00:18:14 I mean, that's great. But one of the reasons that they started opening on Thanksgiving was to stop the rush of people on Friday morning for Black Friday, right? They'd open at six, then they open it five, and then they open it four, and then they open it three. And the crowds just, you know, crushed the doors. So, you know what, they opened on Thanksgiving to try to relieve some of that, you know, holiday Black Friday rush.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Well, I mean, with coronavirus and COVID-19, how are we going to do that? I mean, how is that going to happen? And Macy's is saying they're going to rethink their holiday push for advertising and sales. Are we still going to have a Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, by the way? I bet not. I mean, talk about traditions needing to change. that's a big one they take the parade away
Starting point is 00:19:12 man and Macy's you know sponsors it and then you know I don't know if you know this or not but the store is usually open they might not be open during the parade but I know for a fact that
Starting point is 00:19:28 they're open after the parade because I walked by there on Thanksgiving Day so I mean wow I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:41 What's going to happen? So, you know, good for these companies for closing on Thanksgiving, but I don't know that that's going to ease the paint. And they were also saying that they were going to close on Thanksgiving because there's Thanksgiving is a couple of days earlier than it was last year. So they got a couple of more days in the month for people to shop before December, before we head into the December Christmas rush. It's going to be a weird.
Starting point is 00:20:09 weird, weird year. But if you're looking for a gig, Amazon, UPS, FedEx, postal service, might be a place to go for at least holiday, part-time work, because there's going to be a lot of online,
Starting point is 00:20:26 and we can't come to your house, but here's your presence sent through the mail. There's going to be needed delivery people. And so if you need a gig, that could be it just driving around a neighborhood in a golf cart delivering packages
Starting point is 00:20:44 can't get more fun than that alright let's go to the break room you know you as well as myself need something cold to drink right now goes good with the chicken wings right or the lobster goes good with just about anything

Starting point is 00:21:55 You know, the first couple that come to mind, they're, you know, Spotify and iTunes. But, you know, if you prefer another one, go ahead. That's fine. But then if you want to, you know, want to contact us, you can email the show Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com.
Starting point is 00:22:13 and you can always follow follow me on social media Twitter at Jeffie JFR Facebook, Instagram Parlor Jeff Fisher Radio so you know you can be a part of chewing the fat
Starting point is 00:22:28 make it your your mission to listen to the show as we give you content daily and some of the days that we don't give you content on the podcast we're giving you content on the YouTube channel So you might as well subscribe to the YouTube channel as well, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Duh. As long as you're in the subscribing mood, you might as well subscribe to that as well. Okay. I want to remind you also that you can still vote for, you know, Glenn Beck and to the Radio Hall of Fame. You know, I said it before,
Starting point is 00:23:02 and I really do, I absolutely mean this. It's embarrassing that he's not in there already for what the man has accomplished in. You know, it would be, I will be, pissed on his behalf if he doesn't get in. So it's radiovote.com to vote for Glendon to the Radio
Starting point is 00:23:21 Hall of Fame. Now there's other people you can vote for and you can look them up in other in other divisions, other parts, but you just want to, you know, spoken word and Glenn Beck. And it's one vote per email address. I say that because I voted on my laptop and I voted on my phone, but I made the mistake of using a different email address.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Now, I went today and I voted, I attempted to vote, using an email address that I thought I used yesterday, and it told me I did. So I don't think, I think they have actually fixed the voting issue that happened last year where you could vote on your phone and on your laptop or your computer at home with the same email address. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:24:17 But as of right now, from what I can tell, I'll keep trying different ways. Shh, I'll let you know. Just don't tell anybody that different ways to create more votes. But if it's, you know what? If they're allowing it, it's legal. It's not cheating. So right now, from what I can tell,
Starting point is 00:24:38 whether you vote on your phone at radiovote.com or you vote on your laptop, it's one vote per email. So I'm just, you know, as an example, if you had multiple email addresses, you could vote for each email address that you had. Just, you know, just throwing it out there. Not telling you to do that. My gosh.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Oh, and set the date. It's been set for the Mercury 1 yearly gala. Oh, I'm sorry, it's the Mercury 1 ball. Now, it's in person if COVID allows and it's going to be online virtually, whether you're there in person or not, Saturday, October 24th at 6 p.m. Now, it doesn't say, it's going to be in Dallas, of course, but it doesn't say exactly where it's going to be. It says,
Starting point is 00:25:41 it's an event with Glenn Beck and David Barton and your favorite Blaze Media personalities. I mean, hello, why am I not listed there? So it's going to be October 24th, Saturday, 6 p.m. Central. And just be ready for it. More information, you'll be receiving more details in the coming weeks and months. It's not that far off.
Starting point is 00:26:05 October 24th, it'll be here sooner than you know. I don't forget. I saw that they had you know, the stupid Congress has got Attorney General in front of them
Starting point is 00:26:20 at some stupid meeting that they want to try to run him off today. We couldn't have the meeting yesterday with the heads of the four families of the new mafia because of the Lewis funeral and the Lewis showing and the Lewis month-long
Starting point is 00:26:40 respect for his life after he died. But we could get together and try to run bar off. So anyway, the heads of the four families go before the judicial committee tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. I really am. I can't wait to hear what they have to say. And if they're going to bow down and try to be nice or if they're just going to tell them, I don't work for you, Senator. We'll see if that actually happens.
Starting point is 00:27:08 No way. I mean, we've got, there's a lot going on. You got Amazon. Now they're trying to, you know, bust them up. They're saying that they've been meeting with and investing in startups.
Starting point is 00:27:20 And then they make products later that directly compete with them. Well, so they can do what they want. So if they're investing in the startup or even purchasing them, they could make their, own product that way too. It's the way it works.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Although, you know, if you're a startup and you just meet with Amazon, then Amazon says, hey, you know, we're not really interested. Take care. Good luck. God bless. And then, you know, a couple months later, you're still struggling and trying to get that thing up and running. And then Amazon has a thing that's just like yours.
Starting point is 00:28:01 That would be a problem. If that could be proven, ooh, that's a problem. According to this, Twitter is a national security threat. All world leaders use Twitter in some way. A single tweet has the ability to create major diplomatic issues. That's the fact. Even if the offending tweet is removed quickly, it may not be enough to correct the damage. And it makes the other countries distrust one another.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Well, smarten up. You don't have to tweet. No, really, you don't have to. just because you have a Twitter account, you don't have to tweet. And Garmin, the GPS technology company, they had a ransomware hack, demanded $10 million bucks. Okay. You know, the cyber attack demanding $10 million.
Starting point is 00:28:54 They said the system, they're slowly coming back online after it was hit with the cyber attack. I didn't see where they paid. You know what? I'm going to spill them. We're going to see if they paid. Doesn't look like they did. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:29:11 According to this, they were shut down. The cyber attack affected consumers who use the run and bike fitness sessions in the Garmin Connect app and pilots who use the aviation database services and all call centers are shut down. So they shut everything down. They're experiencing an outage. the outage also affects our call centers we're unable to receive any calls, emails or online chats
Starting point is 00:29:40 we're going to resolve this we have no reason to believe that user data has been impacted so it looks like they shut it down employees weren't using any of their stuff everybody was just locked down and now they're opening them back up so
Starting point is 00:29:58 you know maybe they didn't pay and they just shut everything down and they're going to creep them, you know, open it back up and, you know, make sure the wall is up and strong as they open, after they slowly open it back up. If you're the hacker, you're bummed. I mean, 10 million seems a little, should have went for more, right?
Starting point is 00:30:21 They're like, we don't have to pay them 10 million. Let's move on. If it had been more, maybe they would have thought where they had to pay. And what is going on with the Ellen DeGeneres show? I mean, she can't catch a break. Now Warner Media is having an internal investigation over numerous accounts of workplace problems on the long-running daytime series. I mean, they are not letting this go.
Starting point is 00:30:53 She is just in a bad place. And maybe she's a bad person. I don't know. You know, on the air, she doesn't seem like a bad person. some of the reports were a little, you know, like a sad... She didn't talk to me very nice while I was on the show. Well, you were on her show hawking your stuff. It doesn't mean she has to bow down to you because you were on her show.
Starting point is 00:31:22 I mean, she doesn't have to pat you on the back and say what a great person you are. She interviewed you, you talked about your stuff, you moved on with your life. But apparently you didn't move on with your life because you wanted Ellen to, you know, You know, I don't know. Kiss and tongue you on the air and that didn't happen. It's just, you know. And the one, the security guy. She didn't talk to me.
Starting point is 00:31:45 She wasn't. You're a security guy. Shut up. Your job is to take care of her not to have her pat you on your ass as you walk by, making sure it's safe for her to go into the room. It's ridiculous. It doesn't make her a bad person. Now, maybe she is.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Again, maybe she is. but I just, she should have never sat with George W. Bush at the Dallas Cowboys game. Then once she sat with W at the Cowboys game, it was they were out together. And they have been ever since. It's tougher to bring down her than a lot of other people because Ellen is Ellen, right? I mean, she's a monster. And she brings in a lot of money, creates a lot of business. and has helped a lot of other businesses make a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:32:36 So, I mean, Ellen DeGeneres media or whatever the hell she calls herself is a monster. So good luck. But they've been trying. They've been doing their best during COVID to, uh, she's just not a nice person. I was on the show and she didn't smile at me. Okay. Thanks for showing up at the show. Appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:33:00 And, you know, her ratings have been, you know, huge. A&E, they're talking about their viewership dropping almost 50% since they canceled live PD. Wow. I mean, that is incredible. Now, maybe it's not about the money. Maybe it's not. But, I mean, people were going to A&E to watch live PD. and they canceled the show.
Starting point is 00:33:47 They just cut it, you know, due to the Black Lives Matter protests, and they didn't want to have live TV on. And, I mean, wow, wow, 49% less than last year in the key demos. Some network has got to bring that show back. And if you don't bring it back the way it was, live PD, I'll give you an idea. It's a million-dollar idea for you. A&E or whatever network wants to bring up, you know, live TV.
Starting point is 00:34:20 You donate a lot of, there's plenty of police departments. They're still struggling to have body cams, you know, hooked up. And, you know, some do, some don't, but there's plenty of police departments that don't. They have their, you know, they have the dash cams, but they don't have the body cam. And they're working to afford to put the body cams on. You provide the body cams. Not a camera guy. running around with them, but a body cam.
Starting point is 00:34:47 And then it's just, you know, police body cam, body cam, live. And you just edit the body cam footage and, you know, the car cams. And it's just a body cam footage from police departments all over the country. You know, you provide them the body cams and they turn them on. And if they turn them off, you could show the footage before what was going on to the time that they shut it off and it'll make them look bad. So you have an opportunity to make the police look bad and or good with the body cam footage. I know, listen, you're welcome.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Speaking of shows that are going to get just massive amounts of ratings, I mean, huge amounts of ratings. HBO Sports is going to air Seeing America with Megan Rapino on August 1st. Boy, it is going to be such a refreshing show that, well, we need to have a conversation. And we're going to have that conversation with Seeing America with Megan Rapino. Now, she's going to, she of course is, you know, the U.S. women's soccer team captain. And who would she have on her first show? And I say first show because Peter Nelson, Executive Vice President, HBO Sports, said Megan is fearless in speaking out on issues,
Starting point is 00:36:17 and we are grateful she would choose HBO as home for this conversation and look forward to more opportunities with her to continue this dialogue. Oh, man, oh, man, oh, man, oh, man, oh, man, oh, man. So, now that you know that, just think to yourself, who would she have on her? her show. Well, you guessed right. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And yes, not only AOC on this show, August 1st, Seeing America, she's going to have Nicole Hannah Jones on the show. You know her, the 1619 Project founder and Pulitzer Prize winner. And of course, comedian and television host Hassan Minhaj.
Starting point is 00:37:10 that's going to be so good that is going to be so so good I'm hesitant to play the promo for you but it's so good I want you to hear it how can we have this bigger conversation
Starting point is 00:37:26 for me the point is to get the whole story this is the first election where I feel like we are actually voting for our lives I have this joke are we in the downfall section of our Wikipedia page right now I'm a gay female
Starting point is 00:37:40 athlete. I can't ever just be one thing. Is there an opportunity to shift our country? Injustice is not built to last. Big idea. Seeing America. August 1st. I told you. I told you it's going to be riveting. And we definitely need to have that conversation. Right? Right. Also, sad news for Brian Stelter, CNN host. If you're not familiar with Brian Stelter, he hosts some show on CNN.
Starting point is 00:38:23 I don't know either, sorry. But he apparently is in trouble. Nick Sandman's lawyer warned Stelter that his tweet about the CNN lawsuit may cost him his job. Boy, that would be a shame. Huh? It sure would. Huh. So according to the attorney,
Starting point is 00:38:45 May have cost of his job because it's called breach of confidentiality agreement, Brian. I mean, is it possible that Brian didn't know about it? I doubt it. But he, I guess, retweeted or quote tweeted, his sandman was undoubtedly paid nuisance value settlement and nothing more. Okay. All right. He retweeted that.
Starting point is 00:39:18 So, you know, good luck. Look, Nick was making a lot of money because you people treated him like crap. And got his name and likeness and school and family and everything out there and made it appear that he was this bad guy. and nothing could be further from the truth.
Starting point is 00:39:43 And you didn't even give it a second thought from the very beginning. So whatever he gets, he deserves. You people are despicable. I mean, we try to go both. You can quote me on this for the show. We try to go both ways. But there are plenty of times when you hear something. and any logical mind.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Anyone goes, wait, that, is that it? That can't be it. What else? What brought that on? And you do your own homework. Oh my gosh. It's almost like that's what we preach here at the Blaze and the Blaze Podcast Network or the Blaze Television Network.
Starting point is 00:40:25 But you know they don't teach that at CNN or MSNBC. You just know they don't. And so, Boy, it'd be a real shame, Brian. I don't wish anyone to lose their job ever. I don't want you to lose your job, Brian. I don't. Because they might bring someone in that someone will watch.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. All right. Get a Kleenex or a napkin or a paper towel or whatever because I want to tell you some sad news. Elon, you know, Elon Musk, the billionaire. He's been selling all his properties.
Starting point is 00:41:13 We've gone over the houses that he's trying to sell. And, you know, he still has, I think, I don't know how many he has left, but he hasn't sold them all. And he talked about what it was like not having a home, a big place in the Bay Area
Starting point is 00:41:27 from 2002 to 2017. He said he slept at the Tesla's Fremont California factory or he got a hotel room or he slept in a friend's spare bedroom. And he said, you know, in retrospect, it was kind of good because you ended up, you know, rotating through friends and you catch up with them, you stay in contact. Whereas these days, this is where it gets sad, I've been staying in this strange Gatsby-like house. I call it the haunted mansion and it's a bit bleak.
Starting point is 00:41:59 I mean, the house is beautiful, but it's like Wayne Manning. or without Alfred. Now, this is just a thought. I bet he has an Alfred. I bet he has an Alfred. It might be Alina or Al-Tusa or whatever name you want to call it, or Art, but I bet he has an Alfred.
Starting point is 00:42:27 And I think he'll be okay. I think he'll be okay. Now, you know, they're trying to be. him up over this. Come on. They're trying to beat him up again about his tweets and calling the coronavirus dumb. Well, really, what he was calling dumb was the lockdown on the world. If you are in the window, you should take care of yourself and be locked down, but everyone else should be, I don't know, at work or running their business or going about their
Starting point is 00:43:01 business. That would be nice. That would be nice. And he said he's not worried about his DMs getting hacked. What about the Twitter hack? And what if your DMs were put out there? Eh, go ahead. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Most of my DMs are memes anyway. And this is where it gets kind of sad that you think, well, you know, I don't know if it's sad or if it's, yeah, right, I don't want to believe you. But he said, you know, it was dropped in the Johnny Depp-Aver-Hurt trial about, you. you know, having the affair with Amber Heard, which he said, you know, he wasn't seeing her, did not have sex with her while he was, while she was married to Johnny.
Starting point is 00:43:44 And also that they had a threesome, Elon and Amber and her friend Kara. So he said, oh, we didn't have a threesome. I think people see these things and are generally more salacious than they are. Oh, okay. Okay. Good for you. not saying anything.
Starting point is 00:44:06 I don't know if that's good for Amber. I don't know if that's good for Cara. I don't know if it's good for you because, you know, you got the wife that's not the wife, just the new baby mama might get a little upset. You know, I understand, Elon. I understand. I also understand that while this research study
Starting point is 00:44:29 came from Japan, that may hold true, you know, around the world. According to this, higher income is correlated with higher weight and blood pressure. Oh, really? I wish that was true with me. So Japanese men making 10 million or more yen. That's a lot of yen. So 10 million yen in Japan is about 94,000.
Starting point is 00:45:03 $9,000 in the U.S.? Wow. You could be a million yen air and still really only make $94 grand in the U.S.? Okay. So annually, they have double the risk of developing high blood pressure. They're also higher rates of being obese
Starting point is 00:45:20 and having heavier drinking habits. Men, not women, in the higher household incomes. We're more likely to be obese and drink alcohol every day. All right. All right. I know this study, which was presented at the conference for the Japanese Circulation Society.
Starting point is 00:45:38 And, man, I am a big fan of the Japanese Circulation Society. Men with high-paying daytime jobs are at a particular risk of high blood pressure. This applies to men of all ages. And they need to decrease their chance of heart attack or stroke by improving their health behaviors. Agreed. Boy. Agreed. we have so much more to get to.
Starting point is 00:46:05 I feel like every day I just, I, I, I, we get together and then I feel like at the end of our togetherness, there's so much more I can share with you. So, I mean, just continue to subscribe to chewing the fat. Thank you. I appreciate it. We'll get to the stories that, we'll get to the stories that matter on CTF. I mean, look, we got, you know, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. That's, you know, the big story that they.
Starting point is 00:46:33 are now officially Greek citizens. I mean, they took a beating and they've taken a beating. Do they care, though? No. You know, no. They're just, you know, that's part of their,
Starting point is 00:46:48 you know, hey, we're us. And you're you. And boy, don't you wish you could be us? I do, Tom. I do. No, not really. I don't. I don't, Tom.
Starting point is 00:47:00 I don't really wish to be you. That is, for sure. And so we have, and what, hydroxychloroquine, what is going on? I see we have,
Starting point is 00:47:12 uh, the dock at the White House going on about how good it is. And which is, you know, I've seen it. Uh, I've seen it.
Starting point is 00:47:22 I know that it worked. I know that it worked. My nephew, you know, believed that it saved his life. He was, you know, he was really,
Starting point is 00:47:31 really, really sick. And because of hydroxychloroquine, you know, he's still alive. And that's what that doctor said, too. But then we have all the stories about the doc. And I can play the audio of her speaking, which was great. But then we have the story of the doc that she's, you know, you know, a little crazy and believes in, you know, alien DNA or something.
Starting point is 00:47:54 I don't know. That doesn't change what she said. She shouldn't be taken as face value that it saved people's lives. and it will save people's lives, but of course, it will. And so we can't like hydroxychloroquine because our president, Donald Trump, likes it.
Starting point is 00:48:14 So that's the way it goes. You know, I saw Ziegler tweeted yesterday that his tweet, John Ziegler, at Zigman Freud, he's been on the show before, and, you know, John, and you can, I've got an interview with him about Matt Lauer on my YouTube,
Starting point is 00:48:32 channel that is really fascinating. But his tweet yesterday was, I'm not certain about the science on these, but I'm very confident if at the start of this fiasco, Trump had demanded, masks mandated,
Starting point is 00:48:48 schools 100% online, hydroxychloroquine banned, censoring opposing views, the woke crowd would be 100% against all four. And that, I believe, to be true. 100%
Starting point is 00:49:04 to be true. I mean, there is in my mind, there's no doubt about that. And we talked about it even before and during the campaign and after Trump was elected President of the United
Starting point is 00:49:20 States. I mean, he hadn't even been in office and they were protesting him. He loves the attention and always has. And all you've got to do if they were just, instead beating him up, beating him up. They would just pat him on the back and go to him.
Starting point is 00:49:36 He would be on your side. It's just amazing to me, but they hate him so much. They hate him so much they can't get past it. And many, many times, many times since the election of Donald Trump was president of the United States, it has made me laugh, the hatred that many people have for this man, over what seems to be nothing to me. Now, the country is starting to pay for that hatred, and we've got to figure out how to get around that
Starting point is 00:50:13 because it's got a little scary out there. And I'm sick of being angry. I talked to yesterday about that. I'm sick of being mad. I'm sick of being told I can't go outside without a mask on. I'm sick of being told it's not my choice. You don't get a choice? I'm sick of that.
Starting point is 00:50:28 I'm sick of being told I don't get a choice. That's why we came to. America. Well, that's why, you know, our ancestors came to America. But what, there's a thing called, I don't know, the Constitution. So, thanks for listening to chewing the fat. And I do mean that.
