And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Look, many of you have asked, and I just want to say no. I can't answer all your emails and tweets and Facebook posts and Instagram posts and parlor posts. So I'm just going to answer you here on chewing the fat. The Rembrandt that sold the 8x6 portrait, self-portrait of Rembrandt that sold for 18.7 million dollars at the virtual auction the other day was not me. I know. Okay. All right. So stop asking me if it was me because it wasn't.

So holy cow, really. I mean, there were some serious prices going on for some paintings. The woman in a red hat from 1927, somebody paid $28.9 million for this painting. The painting is nice, I would say. I wish that I had $28.9 million to, what's the word I'm looking for, waste on this painting? my daughter has many paintings that are as good or better than the woman in a red hat from 1927. And then we had the Mediterranean Sea View from 2017, the Bansky, that, I mean, I like it, pretty. Would I spend the money for it? No. Five other works sold for over $10 million.

A bronze sculpture of a female figure by Alberto Giacomante. Fetched $13.8 million. There's some people that have, you know what, too much money. There's just, people have too much money. They don't know what to do with it. So I'm going to let these people know that I have art. for sale. In fact, I can have art created for you, specifically for you, for less, less than the money you spent on these paintings at the, uh, the Sotheby's virtual auction.

Uh, if you spent $28 million on the woman in red painting from, from, Pianchou. Miroz Pianzure. A femme a chaperroge. Believe me, we'll create great art and a lot cheaper. Just call the Fisher Art Galleries. It's an offshoot from chewing the fat art galleries that doesn't create things as beautiful as Fisher Art Galleries. I mean, we can get it to you four.

well I'll just go out on a limb a couple million bucks and we'll do your house and it'll be beautiful and it'll fit right in in fact if you are the person who purchased the woman in red I'm sorry the woman in a red hat for 28.9 million dollars for another couple million we could have some paintings for you that will

highlight the beautifulness that is femme ashiparouge that you spent $28.9 million on.

So, did you see where... I've got to get... I've got some story. I mean, we're backlogged. It's Fat Pile Friday. I'm going to start digging through the fat pile today. This week, you know, every day is just a compilation of stories that we try to get to as much as we can. And yet, the fat still grows. I mean, it's like, it's almost like you try to lose weight and yet you keep gaining weight.

You know, you exercise and you eat right. and yet you still lose, you still gain weight. You don't lose any weight. So we're going to try to lose some weight today. Try to get rid of that fat pile, just a little bit. Where Barbie, of course, had to respond because you can't not respond if someone like Donald Trump Jr. Tweets about your dolls, right?

All right. Now, the Barbie world, Mattel, has a new Barbie 2020 campaign team, Barbie dolls. And by the riveting, riveting dolls, you're going to want them in your collection. But Don Jr. tweeted, voter Barbie must be a Democrat because she's already wearing an I-voted sticker

and yet she's got another ballot in her hand. Rim shot, rim shot. So don't be pointing out things that are, Don't start bogging people down with facts there, Don. So, you know, it was just a little joke. But of course, Mattel has to reach out. They can't just let it go. Just let it be the joke.

Let the joke hang there. Right? Just let it be like hang. No, cannot have that. A Mattel spokesperson said Barbie is not and has never been affiliated with a political party. Really? And I would almost argue that point, but we'll let that go. Barbie has always encouraged girls to stand up for what they believe in and shows them they can be anything.

And the rep also added, this dial set highlights a range of leadership roles to peak their interest in shaping the future and raise their voices from the podium to the polls. It also provides a tool to allow families to have. conversations and what we need in real life. This is me now, not the spokesperson. What we need is more conversations around important events and cultural

moments through play. Yeah, we do get that Mattel and it was a joke and it also proved, I don't know, factual.

that your doll has the ballot and an I-voted sticker? Just, you know, you might want to put an I-voted sticker on one of the other dolls. And, you know, the ballot on with one of the other dolls, just a thought. But no, that's not the case. So we have to comment about it. So just know that Mattel is on top of it for you. And they've never been affiliated with any, with any political party.

And they've always encouraged girls to stand up for what they believe in, shows them that they can be anything. And you know that as well as I do, right? So we can get to some headlines. I mean, we've got, we didn't get to, you know, they're pulling out troops from Germany, which I say, good. I'd like to bring more than what they're bringing home home. But at least they're pulling them out of Germany

and they're moving them into other countries. and they're bringing home five or six thousand back to the states. You know, good. No problem. Get these men home. We have a congressman filing criminal referral against Facebook. Good luck. Good luck.

I mean, you're already going to try to break them up. So now you're going to file lawsuits against them too. Come on now. We have Volkswagen and Audi. They are already down 95 billion to these diesel gate settlements. and there's more coming. So, I mean, we could, I haven't talked a lot about the diesel gate with Volkswagen, but they covered up a huge lot.

It's just incredible what they did. And, you know, they got, they got busted for it and now they're paying for it. Good for them. We can talk about, we have robots. We got Maxwell and Epstein. We got Ellen. Oh, Ellen. Let's, oh, my gosh.

What, how is she even still on television? how is she even still on television? They are not giving up. It is unrelenting against Ellen DeGeneres right now. I mean, every week there's at least one new story coming out of what a horrible person Ellen is. And they want this lady off the air as soon as they can. It's amazing to me. And before, some of the earlier stories seem to be.

give me a break it's you know like the security guy her security guard she didn't say hello to me well shut up you're a security guy and you know people talking about uh how uh they i just came in for i had to do the interview and then i had to leave we didn't hang out and have tea okay well all right whatever but then you know yesterday i see a story where uh there's a radio host in Australia who was working for the Today Show in the Australian Today Show. And they had set up an interview with Ellen. And as time went on, more rules continued to drop on being able to do the interview. And it talked about producers told him, no one is to talk to Ellen.

So you don't talk to her. You don't approach her. You don't look at her. Now they were flying in from Australia, and he makes a point of, you know, they were flying in at their own expense. I mean, is Ellen supposed to pay for the TV team to fly in and interview her for to promote her show on their show? You know, I don't. But they flew in at their expense to tape the segment. And the original deal was that she was going to co-host the show with them.

and then she's not going to do that she's not going to do that and then it kept getting down to well it's just going to be a sit-down interview and that's it and then it's just going to be a set interview with Richard

Wilkins the one Australian TV presenter and that's and it's going to be everything is controlled you guys come in here we're going to have the set the lights the chairs it's going to be set up and it's going to be set up one way and when she comes then you're not to talk to her.

She's going to come in, she's going to sit down on the chair, and you're going to do your interview, and then she's going to get up and leave, and that's it. And you're going to leave her being no one is to talk to her. She don't approach her, you don't look at her. He's going to come in, he's going to sit down, she's going to talk, and then she's going to leave. Now, the radio host says, you know,

he doesn't know if Ellen is a bad person because he never talked to her, right? he was following the rules. This was just the rules that were set up. So, you know, you're led to believe, right, that if it's her people that are treating and telling other people outside of the group not to look at or don't talk to her, don't approach her, don't do anything to her, she's going to sit down and then that's it, is that you believe that that's coming from her, right? you have to believe that. You just have to believe. Now, do you have to be a nice person to be in television? No.

No. I mean, we all have, I mean, I have the similar rules as Ellen. When I do interviews like that for the Australian Today show, I say, guys, no, look, you can come in and they just don't talk to me. I don't have a staff like Ellen. So I have to tell it myself, don't talk to me. and I'm going to sit here and that's it. That's just the way it goes.

Do you have to be a nice person to be in television? No. But you're not supposed to be, you know, an evil ruler dictator. But that's what gets you to the place you're at most of the time, being this ruler. Right? But they, she's gone. She's done. She's done.

She should have never. And she just wanted to see a football game. with some people that she liked. She just wanted to see a football, an NFL game, with people that she liked. So she went to the Dallas Cowboys game, and she sat in a Jerry Jones booth in the box, and there's George W. And there they are during a football game. I mean, is she supposed to walk out?

Is she supposed to not talk and look mad and be angry and all of that during the game? I guess so. I guess so. She's supposed to hold up a sign. I didn't invite him. he's here because of them not me i'm not talking to him i you know maybe she should have tweeted that but she sat you know she sat next to him they were they were comfortable but it was very interesting because yesterday we talked about george bush speaking at yeah louis everybody was in love

with him it was unbelievable how like you don't have to agree political with him exactly right spoke so good. Now that is a real presidential talk, blah, blah, blah. So wait a minute. So when George Bush is speaking at the funeral of Representative John Lewis,

it's okay for us to like him. That's correct. It's okay for him to like him. Sorry. Okay, let's put it like this. The dead John Lewis. He was talking in the funeral of the dead, John Lewis.

And now we're supposed to, supposed to like him. Oh, he's so good. But God forbid, Ellen DeGeneres sits next to him. Well, and. I believe that that, you know, that was the beginning of the bringing Ellen down. Now, you know, if you go back and follow the thread, maybe there was something else. But I, it, it certainly seems like that was the main draw to start bringing Ellen down.

And you're right. You know, it's proof that it's never enough. Right. Then the guy who spent eight years, more like nine, really, if you count the campaign, and he's maybe even after that, we're talking maybe 12 since he's continued. The guy who has that spent at least, the very least eight years, beating up George W. Bush, Barack Obama spoke at the same funeral after W. and so we're back to hating W now. Because I mean, it was always his fault, right? But we hate Trump more. Wait, because after watching both speeches and looking online,

the hate was more towards Obama because he used the platform to bash and politicize. Bush talked about... I love him for it. Really, because it's not what I saw on social media. because Obama did not trend at all. Bush did. Well, I mean, it was not a good thing. I talked a little bit about it this morning, Pat Unleashed.

I really, I, it was, it was agonizing to watch him and listen to him. I mean, we talked about a little bit yesterday, too, you know, when it was live. It was, it was really, really, I was, I was, I was angry. at myself for being so angry at him. I don't want I don't want to not like him that much

but I just do and you know you're right he was it was all it was less about the greatness of John Lewis and more about stoking the fires and hate Trump right I know he didn't mention

Trump's name but you know damn well what he was talking about and then trump isn't any better i mean Obama started talking and he calls a press conference and brings the press corps in for an event what are you doing why you got to do that why just anyway uh plan on ellen uh taking some well-deserved time off from her show i mean there's plenty of people uh that are starting up, they've got the new talk show, right, with What's Her Face,

that they're pushing, the new syndicated talk show that's supposed to be, you know, she's trying to be this nice person. You know, what's her face? Barrymore, Drew Barrymore. She's got a new syndicated talk show coming out,

and it's supposed to be, you know, this, we're all friends, and we all got uplifting stories, and life is wonderful and we've got to think positive. And, you know, so maybe, maybe it's the Drew Barrymore Mafia coming after Ellen. You've got to knock the king off to take over. I don't know. I don't know.

It's just they do not want Ellen on the air anymore. And maybe it's just because she's a bad person. The big Epstein files were released. Jelaine is back in the news again, and so is Jeffrey Epstein. And so is a bunch of, you know, a bunch of news about Bill Clinton,

about the Prince, about Jeffrey Epstein, about, you know, who was on the Lollidi Express, who came to the island. And, you know,

Clinton has already said that he was, he flew with him like, I think four times. According to the stuff that was released, it shows 11. You know, I haven't, okay.

There's a couple people that say they remember Bill with, you know, these two young girls from New York on the island. But other than this person saying it, we don't know that that's true. You know, you believe it because it's Bill Clinton, but you don't,

know that it's true. I mean, he's got it out there, right? Remember, Courtney Love was in the, was in his address book when we went down the address book. And she wasn't too happy about that when asked about her. She said she wanted Jeffrey Epstein burning in hell, because her name was found in his address book. And, you know, the, uh, the attorney, Alan Dershowitz, who has. has been, you know, in the forefront with Epstein as well. He has said he had nothing to do with any of this and was never, you know, on the island, not with the girls. I think he's flown on the plane and he said he has documents that, you know, prove that he wasn't there or whatever the case is.

I mean, he's denied it any of the illegalities. But, and he's also said that he had hoped that there's video evidence, because that will prove him innocent. Okay, I hope that's true, Alan, because we know there's video coming. We talked, if you go back to my YouTube channel, chewing the fact with Jeff Fisher, we did an interview about Jolaine when she first went to trial.

And I talked with Dylan Howard, and we talked about how there are videos of what they confiscated down in Miami, West Palm. So you may assume that there is other videos out there because Epstein was a believer in cameras

everywhere. So, I mean, if that's true and there's actual video evidence of, you know, New York or the island or on the plane, and we actually get to see at least the ones that they confiscated in Florida. Okay, you better hope you're not on there. You better hope you're not on there. Because even just the mention of you being on that tape is going to get you

and you're going to have more than Courtney Love wishing you to burn in hell. I'll tell you that. All right, let's go to the break room. I desperately need something. Oh. my gosh. It sounded so good. An ice cold can of water.

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. So we can head back to the headlines a little bit. We had the story about the New Jersey cops breaking up the COVID party. There's people in Florida now having COVID parties too that they're reporting on. The neighborhoods are. just having, they're like, well, how come that area is closed off? And everybody is just partying.

And by COVID parties, I mean, nobody wearing masks, nobody's social distancing, everybody parting, drinking, doing illegal drugs. And, you know, you're going to get sick. At least that's the thought. No matter what, you're going to get sick. In fact, the thought is that all these people are going to just be dead. So they've got to stop people from gathering because, well, it's for your safety. Hello.

We have a story of Minneapolis residents patrolling their own neighborhoods now. I mean, we need it was coming. These cities are defunding the police department. They're pushing the narrative that police are bad. And so I got news for you. Most people, and I say most, most people don't want their property ruined. I know. I know.

I know it comes as a shock. But most people when a crowd, you know, of peaceful protesters, show up in your neighborhood, it isn't a welcoming hug you want to give them. It just isn't. I mean, we have the couple in St. Louis that are being, you know, that remember they came out with the peaceful protesters that had knocked down their gate. And now they're in trouble because they came out with guns. And they, you know, they were there going, they're being indicted for this.

And now we're getting, we're getting news that the, uh, the attorney for the state in St. Louis tampered with evidence because the pistol. that she, the lady was waving around, uh, wouldn't fire. They used it for some other trial. So they had made it so it wouldn't fire. So it was just a show piece. It's just,

they want us to hate police officers. They want us to hate police officers. And that gets me to, uh, what Chris has been whining about all morning. Did you hear the Fort Worth police department send off one of their police officers. He was retiring, and it was so good.

You should just listen to it. It's so good. I don't know. Is that the same police department that's flying helicopters around my neighborhood? Lincoln 514. 24 and 62 for the last time. There you go.

Lincoln 514, Mad Dog, Collinsworth, ID 2400. We want to thank you for your 33 years of service to the Fort Worth Police Department. We hope you enjoy this next chapter of your life. and we look forward to hearing you on the dirt bike on the trail. You will be missed. Last time checking out at 1533. Linging 514 clear.

It's been honored to serve the city for the last 33 years. And thank you for the officers and the dispatches for you for me a second. Is he crying? He'll be missed. Is he crying? Police officer crying. I know, I know, I got it. We all love it when they say 33 years.

That's a long time, man. And look around what's going on around in the world. It's time, right? I mean, maybe he sticks it out for 40 if we don't have what's going on around the country and in Fort Worth and Dallas and all, I mean, really all over. You know, maybe it's, you know, that's a good time to decide, you know, I don't really want to, I don't really want to retire. I still like doing my job. I can still do my job. I'm out here protecting people and, you know, helping people, you know, the way police actually are and not how they're portrayed.

And, you know, maybe now's a good time. Maybe now is a good time. I just say, I'm going to go. I'm going to retire. And it might not even be him, right? I mean, maybe that's why he's crying because he doesn't want to give up his job. And, you know, maybe the wife is like, you know, it's time. for you to retire.

And maybe we just moved to the mountain somewhere. How about that? I mean, that's very possible. I don't know the man. I don't know the story. But after 33 years and look around at the weather right now,

not a bad call on his part. Not a bad call on his part at all. And I see where my man, Grady Judd is trying to you know, they're giving him a hard time. over his press conference on the guy that, you know, murdered the three people that he called evil.

Remember, I played just some of that press conference earlier this week or last week where he called the guy the personification of evil. And, I mean, great he is. I love him. He's one of the best. I do. I love him then.

Well, I mean, I don't love him enough to marry him. But I do. I do love him. But I know that they're, you know, trying to give him a hard time now for having a press conference like that because it taints the jury pool and it taints this and taints that. I'm willing to bet that he doesn't care. It's just a thought. I was just a thought. I mean, I've talked to Grady personally many times, many times.

I haven't talked to him, you know, quite some time. but once when he was sheriff I was uh maybe I haven't told you this before but I worked in Florida for a while and I worked in uh well I lived in Pinellas County I worked in Hillsborough County and Grady is the sheriff of Polk County which is just the county over from Hillsborough County and so you know he was local news and we talked to Sheriff Judd quite often and he's a good man he's a good man. I know he's one of those police officers that we're supposed to hate, but he doesn't like bad guys. And that's what makes a good police officer in my eyes when you don't like bad guys and you help protect the good law-abiding citizens from the bad guys. That makes you a pretty

good person, I think. What do I know? So have you been out to you've been I know Chris you have been out to restaurants to dine and be a part of the unwashed masses during our coronavirus lockdown. Have you not? Yes. I've been. What do you call those? Patronage. Yes. A couple of locals. Why you ask? Because I'm kind of scared now. I was just asking, you went into these restaurants and you dined. Yes. And I was wondering because we're getting more stories now of restaurants and putting up mannequins to make the restaurants seem fuller.

I'm not going to also help in social distancing. Have you witnessed that? No, I haven't. And if you are a restaurant tour, I think that's the word. And if not, I just made a new word. No, it's a word. Okay. It's a word.

Don't give yourself too much credit. Okay. I like that the restaurant store empty, so don't try to fill them up with fake stuff. That's the reason why I'm going now, because one, there's no wait time. And usually everybody, Fisher, I've noticed an increase of hospitality points.

You have no idea how much, sounds bad, but how much ass kissing there is as a customer when you walk into that door. The only thing, they are not doing it's picking you up and bringing you to the table because of social distancing. But if they could pick you up and lift you so that you don't have to walk, they will do it. That's how hospitality, oh, I love it.

I actually love that restaurants now are so hungry for that tip, are so. Oh, yeah. I mean, look, they've got to survive. And they have to. For the first time in five, six years, I tipped because Jeffrey, kid you not, the service was You pissed me off so bad. Immaculate. And I even tip how everybody's tipping now where it says 2020, which you kind of piss me off

because I put 2020 on the tip on, I think it was like a $70 bill. I put 2020. What does that mean, 2020? Oh, Trump. I know it's the year, but I mean, it's Trump. It's what Trump people do so that they can say I support Trump when you tip. So you, but you, you tip them 20%? No, you tip them $20 and $0.20.

Got it. That's 2020. God. Okay. I don't know why I didn't know that. That's weird. That makes sense, though. I got it.

2020. Okay. Yeah. So I did that. And even my walk was like. is $70. By the way, 10% would be 7.

15% would be, that's more than, more than 10. You're good. Okay, fine. By the way, like I said, I feel like you've missed the whole,

I haven't tipped in five to seven years. You know what? Just because you haven't tipped, the waitress or waiter doesn't know that. Oh, they know that. There's a waitress and waiter network that they take pictures for the people

that don't tip. I believe that there should be. But anyways, I felt so good tipping that I just wanted to bring it up. But Fisher, you have to go before the whole states open up again because experiencing the hospitality, it's pretty good. It's pretty good. I liked it. So are we recording again?

Yes. Okay, I just want to be clear. Because for those of you that aren't aware, I know, I know that those of you are listening live to the show, you know, you caught. You caught it. Because if you're not listening live, it's edited out. But Chris has a, an orphanage going out of his house.

Close. You know what? I'll give you that. Yes, I do. No, I know. That's what I'm calling. So, you know, they have children there. And, you know, from time to time, the kids make noise. That's what they do, right? And we get it. I really, seriously. I'm not making fun of kids but what i am going to make fun of is mr chris cruz mr i'm the man mr i'm the man as the kid is crying he turns to his wife can you take him into the other room oh my gosh you how long have you been married now

two already already you have lost manned do you really want to open that door because you also put up a great front of what I say goes

and I'm the damn right it is because I'm the man yeah but then when Amber speaks you listen the trick is is to pretend you listen but you still do you still do Jeffrey how many times have you gone outside how many times have you gone to the store

a lot you gone inside the store yeah oh yeah I don't believe you you're not allowed to go inside the store I have your wife allows you to drive the car to take the kids to the store

or drive the car to the pickup and you pick up the groceries at Walmart aren't. I go big to ask. Mr. Fisher does not go inside because the wife said you're not allowed to go inside. That's not true. Okay. That's not true.

When you ask her for permission to go to the studios, what did she say? And how long did it take you to men up? Who goes to the studios? Me. How long did it take you to men up to just say, you know what? I'm going to the studios. I remember these conversations that were off the air and I'd never brought him up. I don't recall those.

Or when she says, I'm getting a new camera and you says, no, what does she do? She gets that new camera. Or when she says, hey, can you take, can you take, you know, dad to the doctor's house? Oh, no, I'm busy. Oh, yeah, you take him to the doctor. Oh, when she says, hey, my sister's coming over. I don't want a sister here. The sister's still there, right?

Can we get a sister status? Sure. the one sister lives in Florida and the other one the other one had a place in Florida and where is she currently right now for the last

what two years no stop it oh okay less a year where she's been for a year well it hasn't been here because for the first I mean she hasn't been here for a year straight

Yeah. She's been in Texas. Okay. She's been in Texas. You know, because at the beginning of the lockdown, she happened to be somewhere else? Somewhere else that was in a big lockdown and couldn't leave. At all, man, was I bombed? Were you trying to get her out of the lockdown and, you know, try to write a letter and

get her back here? When we loosened up a little bit of the lockdown, we got her back. Good for you. Good for you. There's that. There's that. You're good now? Yeah. Oh, good.

I'm right here, and I've got breaking news for you. Earlier today on your broadcast, you talked about how they want Ellen DeGeneres gone from the network. And I know that you're thinking, oh my gosh, did they fire her? No, they didn't. But she has now admitted to taking responsibility as her name was at the top.

So she's responded now. And the response is absolutely perfect. And it won't work, but it's perfect. She admitted that she had to take responsibility because her name was at the top, but that the show has grown. And she has not been able to stay on top of everything and has instead relied on others to do their jobs

as they knew I'd want them done. But clearly, some didn't. That will now change, and I'm committed to ensuring this does not happen again. She also referenced how she herself had been treated unfairly in the 90s when she first came out as gay. And to think that any one of you felt that way is just awful to me. is it so she's

look my name's on the show so it's my fault but really it's the people I had working for me I was hands off and I shouldn't have been and we should have fired

these people a long time ago so I'm committing that this does not happen again and I remember being treated that because I'm gay and when I came out as gay

and I don't want that to happen anyone. It's not going to work. It's not going to work, but it is a good try. And she's now she's grabbing on. Now she's grabbing on. She wants to grab onto something that could save the Ellen Mountain of cash, I mean of shows and her famehood.

Good luck, Ellen. Good luck. I always liked her. I always kind of liked her, but I mean, if she's that kind of person, well, she's not that kind of person. You just heard that she's not. So, is that it, Jeffrey? Yeah, that's it, Joe.

There you have it, breaking news on chewing the fat, because when CTF records, news happens. Wow, it's not going to work, but nice try. Nice try. You know, the other day we talked about the Emmys, when they broke and you were not here, Chris. So you and I have got to,

we don't have to do it now because there's definitely not enough time to go through the nominations, even just the ones that we care about right now. But we have to talk about some of the shows because there's a few shows that I know you like, that I don't. And we've got to talk about the nominees.

I mean, really, there's some good ones. I know you're, you know, course, Marvelous Miss Dinkleberry is, you know, I don't know who Miss Dingleberry is, but I know who Mrs.

Maisel is. Yeah, that's the, you know, Miss Dinkleberry. How many did she get? How many did she get? I don't remember.

I really don't. I was just, I was just, I was looking at this headline that talks about the Emmys are going to go virtual in 2020, which I, you know,

we talked about it the other day on the show, that they're going to have to. Right? We're going to have to see all these people at home and they're going to have, you know, have to record stuff and they're going to have to know ahead of time whether they won. And it's going to be, you know, it's going to be all virtual on September 20th. So, man, will it be fun? Right? Right.

The one that surprised me, I know you already went through them, was. I mean, I can open it back up again. I really wasn't thinking about, you know, breaking it down. I got no problem doing it. I was just thinking about them. I was right, by the way, since you heard it earlier, that the show will be virtual. There's no way they get together.

It's not a chance. I'm surprised with 15 nominees for The Mandalorian. Yeah, that was surprising. I'm surprised for Ozark having 18 nominees. Stranger Things. Why? Ozark was great. The Crown 13.

Hollywood, 12. I feel like that is weird. way too, that's not too much. That's not too much. Hollywood. What do you mean? It's not too much. I feel like Hollywood should have been one of those that is going to like 18, 20 nominees.

It was great. And it was pointing out how difficult it was to produce something that is written by a black gay man. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. I mean, it plays into the hand, right? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You would think that they were just, oh, crap, this is showing how not open we are and how we had all these gay people hide themselves back in the day.

And how we did not want to hire black people to be screenwriters. Maybe let's give them 25 nominations. I don't know, make it look like you're trying. Now, I was a little, I'm not sure. I'm a little, you know, torn with the outstanding costumes for. a variety non-fiction or reality program because Dancing with the Stars, Halloween

Night is nominated, which was I mean, and then there's drunk history. The Masked Singer, a season kickoff of Mask Off. Actually the Mask Singer probably is going to win this. Oh, RuPaul's Drag Race. Ooh. And a Saturday Night

Live with Eddie Murphy. So really RuPaul and the Mask Singer. I don't care about those nominations. I'm talking about how, like, Nailed Day got two nominations and Space Force got four nominations. Oh, but I mean, this is outstanding costumes for a variety of nonfiction and a reality program. Eight, that's great for those kids. Eight nominated for Stranger Things. No one gets a rat's ass who built that stupid costume for the mass singer or the stupid costume for the RuPaul drag queens.

Like, no, we don't care about that. It's America. What about outstanding directing for a variety special? Who gives the crap? Like I said, I was really surprised that Mandalorian and Ozark have so many nominations. Not for Ozark, but Mandalorian for sure. I mean, well, they're the pretty boy show, right? Ozzer wasn't that good, Jeff Fisher to deserve.

What? 18 nominations? Yes. Now, if we want to talk fair game, I prefer Mandalorian to have. have 18 nominations and Ozark 15 and I'd be like okay you know what Ozark was way better than Mandelorian Absolutely not

Jeff Fisher it was movie quality Every single episode No it wasn't Allsark was just like okay We're gonna shape blue And we're trying to do this Okay no Was it Jason Bateman lost

I lost a little bit of respect for Jason Bateman Season 3 was not good I disagree Of course you do. You just open the segment saying how many you disagree on TV shows. So of course you're going to disagree. Oh, okay, good. So a couple of things I wanted to hit before we wrap it up and head into the weekend.

The exciting weekend coming up for those of you listening live on the 31st of July 2020. Wow, it's the 31st of July 2020. Four and a half months ago. Four and a half months ago is when we went into President Trump's. Give me 15 days. And look how far we've come. Wow. Incredible.

But I see where in that four and a half months now, they were struggling before, but it certainly didn't help any Remington. Remington files for bankruptcy. Gun manufacturing. File for bankruptcy. One of the oldest in the U.S.

Wow. Okay. Okay. Nike. Nike. It couldn't happen to a nicer group. Nike scraps building their manufacturing plant in Phoenix. I guess the U.S. was not good enough.

We can still continue using China, right? Oh, yeah, of course. Of course we can. Don't worry about it. We'll be fine. And how is it possible that Walmart is laying off workers? How is that possible? I don't want you don't need to answer.

I don't want to hear it. It's part of their reorganization. Oh. Okay, listen, they're eliminating some jobs as part of our reorganization. That's all. We've informed our employees that they're going to be allowed to apply for other jobs than the company. Look, if they don't want to do that, we'll get them a job coach. Be fine.

Don't worry about it. And, you know, look, it's incredible to me that they are reorganizing and, And Walmart is the company that had to remain open during the lockdown. I mean, they've made, I'm sorry, business, I want to see the numbers that actually prove that they've, you know, this hurt them. I guess, you know, I guess it would, you know, somewhat hurt them financially, but all these other stores are closed. Everybody's going to freaking Walmart. I don't know. I don't know how they, how they could get away with letting people go.

I'm sorry, reorganizing. They're not letting people go. They're reorganizing. So they're in a journey. I love this corporate speak so much. I really do. The company did directly answer the questions that were asked of them about laying people off and severance pay and what they were doing.

They did say, this is about a journey to create an, omni channel organization. Oh. Well, goody for you. And part of that journey to create an omni channel organization, which is, when you think of an omni channel organization, you think that

you know what? We're just going to have to let some people go. Sorry. Sorry. We're just trying to create an omni channel organization. Ugh. And I'll, here's something for you. You can take with you. Here's a fact that you can take with you the next couple of days, okay? It's from at fact on Twitter.

So, got to be true. Everything on Twitter is true.
