Well, we can start out west and then move our way east. We could start east and go west, but we'll start west. By the way, that's not how this show works. This show works.
Starting point is 00:03:28 You spin the globe, you point, and that's where we go. Have you forgotten? All right. Well, let's spin the globe. Let's spin it. Okay. Spin it. There we go.
Starting point is 00:03:39 We don't have the sound effect or anything. It's just a... You have the globe. I don't have the globe. We spare no expense. I mean, if you've listened to the show before, you know we have, we spare no expense on whatever the show needs. So let's spin the globe. There you go.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Oh, my gosh. Look at that. It's California. So it's burning. We'll start out west. in California. It's burning. Yes, it is. It is on fire once again. The apple fire in southern California, which is burning out of control in Cherry Valley. I'm not real sure why the Apple fire is burning in Cherry Valley, and we call it Apple Fire. Actually, I did look it up because it
Starting point is 00:04:30 drove me insane all weekend. I'm like, they keep calling it the Apple Fire, but it's in Cherry Valley. Why is it not the Cherry Valley Fire or even just the Cherry Fire? That's the kind of weekend I had. Yeah. And so come to find out, one of the original roadways that closed up to the, that they think is the ignition site of the fire is Apple Tree Lane. So the press started calling it the apple fire. And even though it's in Cherry Valley, tough, it's the apple fire.
Starting point is 00:05:08 So there you have it. There you have it. That's why. So, thank you. That doesn't sound like the actual apple fire. We have over 7,000 people evacuated. I mean, it's burning. And this is, and they've got it under control.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Well, 5% of it. So I do have a question about a fire, though. Maybe we get this answered by a professional. They have all kinds of people there, and it's going to get, you know, you know how the fires are in California every year. It's going to get bad. The footage already is horrific. But I wondered, does fire kill COVID-19?
Starting point is 00:05:51 Or does the smoke just spread it all over the country, and we're all going to get sick again, so we need to shut the country down? Apparently, we're just going to burn. It doesn't matter. Just we're going to burn. Oh, by the way. as we have spun the globe and we're starting to move across the country, red onions are recalled because of a possible salmonella poisoning.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Yeah, I know red onions. And just to be safe, just like we did with the country, we're going to shut it down. We're going to recall red, white, yellow, and sweet onions. Yeah, because there could be cross-contamination. So, so far, you know, there's people been sick. You already know the signs of salmonella infection, right? Diarrita, fever, stomach cramps could happen anywhere from six hours to six days after the exposure. So you get really sick and then you don't.
Starting point is 00:06:55 So if you're in a high risk age group like those under five or over 65 with weakened immune systems, you're more likely to experience severe illness. Sound familiar? Now that's the onion recall. And you think to yourself, well, look, that's only in, what, 30, 35 states, something like that. Well, there's the other 7-0 outbreak in almost every state.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Spin the globe. Almost every state. You know what they think that is the cause of that? Backyard poultry. Who among us? Who among us doesn't have chickens out back? 900 people already infected with the salmonella. I guess we know that it's not the onions for these people.
Starting point is 00:07:53 It's most likely backyard poultry, chicks and ducklings. So while we know that outbreaks aren't on common this time of year, you know, 938 people have been affected and is almost doubled in the last month. So, for those of you that have backyard poultry, don't be letting the kids touch them, come into the house, take it easy with them, okay? Leave them outside and quit playing around with them. Are you sure this is being classified as outbreaks and not just COVID outbreaks? Well, if you die You died of COVID-19
Starting point is 00:08:35 Okay, got it I just want to make sure If you're sick If you're sick Okay Because I called the doctor Over the weekend Because I was not feeling so good
Starting point is 00:08:41 And he said You have COVID I'm like no I don't stop it Oh boy Stop it I don't have COVID It was just A little bit of
Starting point is 00:08:52 A headache Well let me ask you a question What a wuss Why are you hit a little bit of a headache And calling a doc Dude, it was a massive migraine. It was bad. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Put blanket up over the window and put a cold compress on your head and get over it. My grandma used to have headaches like that. My grandpa would just close the blinds and put a cold wash on her head and tell everybody to shut the hell up. Okay. Gotta be quiet. Grandpa's got a headache. So, I ask the way, love you. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:09:30 that my grandma never said that but my grandfather did are we still spinning the globe is that what we're doing okay wait that's a set we need to get that globe fixed man that did not come from from a man over at
Starting point is 00:10:09 Ballerby Globes in London I'll tell you that there's no way he's sending globes out to sound like this have you have COVID you do your doctor was right you're like in some sort of some sort of feverish state do get put a swab in your nose or something man take care of yourself I can't spin this globe anymore so please can we go somewhere
Starting point is 00:10:45 yeah well I stopped it oh okay good I stopped it and we're on the east coast of the United States right now as I don't know if it's a hurricane it was a tropical storm it's it is one or the other it turns into a tropical storm and it's a hurricane, then it's a tropical storm, and it's just up the east coast of America. So I'll just rip in a little bit of coastline up as it goes. It's going to make some kind of rainfall or landfall
Starting point is 00:11:10 in probably the Carolinas and then just continue on up the east coast. You know, like those storms do. It's funny because it was supposed to hit Florida and it didn't. I feel like it saw that you have to wear a mask, and since the storm was not wearing a mask, it decided to go somewhere else. it's possible yeah that's possible you know a lot of those storms you know they all want to curve right that's what they do i mean that's that's they all want to curve right can i quote you on that please
Starting point is 00:11:38 yes i have a professional storm watcher a professional at hurricane all want a curve right that's today's show they all want to curve right that's what they do that's what they do so when you can see you saw the whole thing it kept curving right and pretty soon everybody said oh it's going to hit floor it's going to hit florid nope it's going to go into along it's going to hit the west go? Nope. They just keep curving right. That's what they want to do.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Even the ones in the Gulf of Mexico. They want to curve. They curve right. That's what happens. Well, isn't there a slingshot in the golf where, like, the storm, like, picks up and then goes right back to Florida? Isn't there some kind of like a lot? Isn't a while?
Starting point is 00:12:20 Because they all want to go right. I remember on the, like, the big storms that came in United, like, the three. or four storms that hit the United States back to back. I remember them talking about the slingshot that is in the Gulf, that it could go anywhere, but then usually goes to Florida and then goes right in the middle of Florida, Georgia, Carolina, up north. Right, because as it gets into the middle of the Gulf, if it doesn't get too far west, then as it starts to turn right,
Starting point is 00:12:55 like they all want to do, you end up into the panhandle of Florida and then on into Georgia and so forth. But if you get a little bit farther west, it still is turning right, but it doesn't get far enough right. So that's when you're into Louisiana, Texas. And also, you know,
Starting point is 00:13:12 if we bring up the green screen behind me, you can see as the high-level winds and the low-pressure system pushes the storm across America. That's what happens. But what is this storm? Isaiah? Isaiah ISIS, it's ISIS is what it is
Starting point is 00:13:28 And it doesn't want to come into America Because of Donald Trump Wait, what? So it's just ripping up to East Coast And people have had to deal with it all along the East Coast It's, you know, it's, it is hurricane season But I realize I miss it.
Starting point is 00:13:45 I realize that what you would say in it, you were saying it wrong Isayas? Isis, like I said. No, assayas. Now what is it? Asai. I don't think it is. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Because the white boy. Asaias. Tropical storm assayas. We got to get some new names for these things, man. I know. Those names are bad. What happened to Tropical Storm Bill? We've canceled so many days.
Starting point is 00:14:13 We've talked about this. You could go back. Yes, we have. Yeah, we talked about, we went down the list of all the names. Compare them to from the old back in the day. That was Martha. Um, Stuart, um, Billy, now they're like ethnic names. Isai, yes.
Starting point is 00:14:32 You know, we, I, uh, just by the luck of the draw, a storm gets a name that then does a bunch of damage. We can't call it that, that name anymore. Oh, okay. Uh, fine. I'm going down the list. Hold on. I got to find the list now. I got to find the list.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Yeah. I got to find the list. While you're doing that. I found the list. for the hurricanes momentarily. I'll tell you that don't plant the seeds. I talked to the last week about the seeds that are being sent to everyone from China. They're not all coming from China, by the way, either.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I found that out. Yeah, I know. I know. I know. But they've identified 14 different kinds of seeds that are being sent to people. Flowering plants like the morning glory, veggies, herbs. And they appear to be. from China, although many are not from China.
Starting point is 00:15:27 They are coming from several different countries. Now, you'd think, and as we talked about, you know, they're telling people, hey, don't plant them. If you get these seeds, don't plant them. And I thought, at the time, I thought, well, if you got a bag of seeds sent to you and you didn't know where they were from, why would you plant them? but come to find out people planted them anyway yep
Starting point is 00:15:58 I mean they're quoting people the one lady in Louisiana yeah I got seats and I didn't realize that I couldn't plan them so I just planted them now there's no there's no
Starting point is 00:16:13 documentation of whether she planted them in a little in a little planter or if she just threw them out in the backyard and we're just going to let them grow and, you know, blow all over the country. You know, the fire smoke is just going to spread the damage from these seeds. But they are, the majority appear to be from China. There are other countries. Where the heck?
Starting point is 00:16:38 I was looking for the list of the other countries that they came from. You know what? They're from China. We hate China. We don't like China anymore. And so they're all from China. Just the way it is. We don't like them.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Do you find their names yet? I did. I did. I just had to turn off my mic because that was funny. So. I mean, sure, I could tell you that there's some people got some from Uzbekistan. Sure, I could tell you that some got some sent to them from the Solomon Islands. Sure, I could tell you that some got sent to them from other areas of Russia.
Starting point is 00:17:12 But you know what? No, they're all from China. So we have, in 2012, we have names like Albert. Debbie Gordon Helen Isaac Joyce Leslie Michael Oscar
Starting point is 00:17:25 Sandy Remember Sandy Sandy? Sandy was bad dude in 20 in 2020 here are the names
Starting point is 00:17:33 I don't remember Joyce though Joyce Huh didn't you say Joyce I did say Joyce yeah I don't remember that storm
Starting point is 00:17:42 in 2020 we'll start with the A's goes Arthur this is 20-20 names Arthur Bertha Christobal
Starting point is 00:17:53 Dali Edward Fay Gonzalo Hannah Asaias Josephine Kyle
Starting point is 00:18:06 Laura Marco Marco Nana Omar Paulette Renee Sally
Starting point is 00:18:15 Teddy and Wilfred okay so Hurricane Joyce that name has not been retired has it no the only names have been retired Hurricane Joyce was in 2000 which you know explains and it wasn't even it just it was like a category one it hit the Dominican Trinidad Tobago with nobody cares about them okay next um the names that people that live there that's all the names that were retired according to this was Erica and Joaquin because those two hurricanes were so deadly and damaging that the WMO decided to
Starting point is 00:18:58 that the reuse of their name would be incentive V. Incentive? Yeah, there's a bunch of names that have been retired. Yeah. So it gets, you know, you have to go through and find other names like ISIS. No, I say yes. Yeah, like I said, ISIS. But these are the kind of storms.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Anyway, just as a quick side note of ISIS. These are the kind of storms that do a lot of damage that you don't think about because the whole coastline gets ripped up. Dude, I'm looking at the chart. This WMO is so cheap. I mean, not so cheap. So what's that word? Lazy.
Starting point is 00:19:42 The names from 2014 are the names for 2020. Yeah. So if they, if no names got retired, they just rubber stamp a year. That was okay. So I just read the names for the 2014. And then the names for 2015. There were a lot of stars in 14, though. Name those off.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I just did. 2014. A little 2020 and 2014s are the same names. Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, then what are the, what were there? There were two years there. It must not have been 2014.
Starting point is 00:20:15 No, I'm talking about 04 through 07 and 04, 05, 06, something like that. Those three years were really bad. Oh, yeah. Really bad. That's what I was thinking of, not in the teens. Because in the teens, I was living in the Northeast, I didn't care. If you sat around this weekend and you thought to yourself, man, you know, I have got $2,88,88,8,8,000, $888,000,000,000, $888, that I don't know what to do with.
Starting point is 00:20:47 And I'm just sitting here at home wondering, what can I do with $2,888,888? Well, you know, you could buy the Time Bandit crab ship from the deadliest catch. We've got to cool to own right for only $2,88,888. So good luck. Good luck. Apparently they're in some kind of,
Starting point is 00:21:13 some kind of battle divorce court and they decided that they had agreed to fork over money to the wife if the brothers sold the boat and so now they got to sell the boat because she wants her money.
Starting point is 00:21:31 So good luck. God bless. And I also, before we get to Ellen, I want to tell you a little story about a Florida flight attendant who's been arrested. And when I tell you how she was arrested, why she was arrested.
Starting point is 00:21:45 You're going to think, wait, what? So a Florida flight attendant, Nicole Denison, got home. It was late Wednesday night. She was tired, been working, walked into the house, and there's hubby, neck deep with the girlfriend. At least I think he was neck deep, but he was deep with his girlfriend. she decided to punch the husband in the face
Starting point is 00:22:17 scratch his face bruise his arm smashed his guitar knocking down shelving in the house and then kicking him out yeah hubby was like don't worry about it
Starting point is 00:22:35 she's not going to be here for a while oh yeah Is that the door? Is that her? No, she said she wasn't going to be home until tomorrow. Hey, how you doing? Don't mind this. It's not what you think.
Starting point is 00:23:00 That's my favorite line. It's not what you think. Oh, okay. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Flatsido Domingo. She might, he might have saved himself. if that would have happened. If it would have been my man Placito.
Starting point is 00:23:18 If he was neck deep in Placito instead of another girlfriend. She just walks in and hears... Well, no, that wouldn't have happened, is what I'm saying. If she walked in and heard... Allow me to introduce myself. I am Placido Domingo. Oh, okay. Well, I just got home.
Starting point is 00:23:38 I'm going to go down and get myself a drink. You guys finish up. But instead of that, instead of that, she beat him up and broke a few. things around the house. And so she's been arrested. She's been arrested. She's been charged with
Starting point is 00:23:58 domestic battery. Kind of a good domestic battery. Wouldn't you say so? All right, thanks again for listening to chewing the fat. I really appreciate it. We're going to head over to the break room because I need a drink of something cold. And go ahead and get yourself something to drink. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Oh, my gosh. So good. So we told you on Friday that Ellen had come out and said, Hey, look, I'm at the head of the table. And so it's my show, my name. So I'm ultimately responsible. But damn those producers and they suck. And they were doing a bad thing.
Starting point is 00:25:06 And I didn't realize that it was going on. So nobody believes it. And she's, I mean, that show is done now. I mean, not officially. But believe me when I tell you, that show is done. and I think her game show is done. I mean, the Ellen brand has been marred now.
Starting point is 00:25:26 The Ellen, I'm a great person brand has been hurt. She's going to be back to working, you know, doing the comedy club circuit. You know, hey, welcome to the show.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Be careful. I might slap you. Something like that. Don't look at me. If I'm her, that's what I do. Come out, hey,
Starting point is 00:25:42 how you doing? Thanks for coming. Don't look at me. Don't talk to me. Okay, sure you can laugh if you hear something funny. but that's it. That's the only thing she can do now.
Starting point is 00:25:52 I mean, her fall from grace, they are, I mean, you know, they're eating their own. Good for them, I guess. But it's tough to see. All the headlines. Producers accused of sexual misconduct. Degenerous in free fall. Degenerous wants out of her show, even if she doesn't. I mean, that headline alone.
Starting point is 00:26:18 and there were stories that talked about how James Corden could be the next Ellen. I already told you who the next Ellen is going to be. Corden isn't going to be the next Ellen. He's got his own thing going on. James Corden has got his own deal. The next Ellen is Drew Barrymore. Guaranteed.
Starting point is 00:26:37 And, you know, remember in the last four months, five months, Drew Barrymore has done, you know, been posting all nice things and all great things about her friends. and how great she would spend. And then there was the news that she's going to start her own show. And it was going to be all good news and happy. And we need good positive stuff. Drew Barrymore.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Going to be the next Ellen, guaranteed. Or they're going to try to make it happen. Could she pull it off? I don't know, maybe. But it's just incredible, the free fall from Ellen. And is she responsible? You know, she's at the head of things. Now, all the sexual misconduct stuff has nothing to do with her.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Nothing. And all that stuff had nothing to do with her. It was producers. There were, uh, there's, there's dozens of misconduct by former employees as the fallout continues and producers. And there was one, um, the, um, incidents of harassment. Well, you got hollered at for not doing your job? Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:53 There was one time that one guy said they were at some party and, you know, had his man unit grabbed. Oh, the horror. How can you get through life with that happening? I know. Don't look at me like that. Stop it. You know as well as I. Stop it.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Stop it. Oh, congratulations, too. Let's go back to Florida, as a matter of fact, with the Twitter hack last month, you know, having people send them Bitcoin. A guy from Tampa, Florida, my main man, 17-year-old from Tampa, Florida. My old breeding ground was the mastermind behind the Twitter hack. You got 30 felony counts. He's going away for a long time.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Or he's going to end up working for the CIA, including communications fraud, identity theft, access to computer without authority. Yeah, he'll be working for it. Did I say CIA? NSA. You just cover everybody by working for the NSA. Well, you're going to have to do it from a jail cell, but you're going to work for us anyway. Don't worry about it. So congratulations.
Starting point is 00:29:08 And as long as we were, Chris, are you okay? I know you've been a little quiet. I didn't mean to bring up. you know i was talking about the girl in florida that beat up her husband because she caught him uh i'm sorry now you care now you care about my feelings why you look sad for those of you watching live on the 3rd of august uh 20 20 my gosh it's august already anyway uh the 3rd of august 20 20 you can see that you just all of a sudden you got sad and i just realized why because uh you know i did that i did that story about the girl in
Starting point is 00:29:42 Florida that caught her husband cheating and beat him up and destroyed the house and now she's been arrested for domestic violence and I got the thinking oh my gosh that's exactly what happened to Chris without being arrested right so you okay I'm fine but maybe next time you know run and by me like hey Chris can I talk about this I don't know that that'll be the common courtesy way or if you're going to bring it up you know kind of like put some jokes in there or include me in the jokes. Sure. Anyway, I just want to make sure you're okay.
Starting point is 00:30:19 You're all, you look sad. I don't want you to be sad. I'm not okay. You know what? It's over. That's so long ago now. Don't let it go. Oh, you little bitch.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I'm going to say it. Maybe, you know, find yourself and just let it go. So I found out also this weekend that I've got an opportunity, well, maybe not here in this country, but in Great Britain, that if, uh, if I found out this weekend, that, uh, if I found out this country in this country, but in great Britain, that, uh, if I've found out, if I've got a I got arrested for, you know, counting people out of money, I won't have to go to jail because I'll be too fat. I know. I saw that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:05 So that's legit. Right. That is something working in your favor. Now, anyway, the, so this guy. So what's the weight limit? Do you have to wait like this much amount so that you don't go to jail? So this guy weighs 28 stone. Okay, can we put that in pebbles?
Starting point is 00:31:28 Because I only know pebbles. I don't know stones. Sure. Sure. 396 pebbles. Ooh, that's a lot of pebbles. Please. Don't give me our poop.
Starting point is 00:31:38 390s. I can do 396 standing out of my hands. That's nothing. Stop it. I did that yesterday. 28 stone. What kind of these guys in shape? My poop is bigger than that.
Starting point is 00:31:54 I remember back of the day with 28 stone I thought wow I can't get any bigger guess what you can't anyway he's too fat for prison so good for him that's good you know I always I always see in movies and TV shows
Starting point is 00:32:13 them trying to play the he's too crazy he did not know what he was doing this is the fat card I play your honor I want to play the fat card as you can see my client waits how many stones
Starting point is 00:32:30 28 stones 28 stones the prisons only allowed us 10 stones can we have some leniency is it really that fat do we have pictures he's 74 years old
Starting point is 00:32:45 okay and he needs carers to help him out of bed and give him his medication due to his size and poorly health. That's what they say. Okay. So it's not because it's fat. It's because he's fat and sick. Well, some would say that maybe he's sick because he's fat. How dare you? As a fat person. I mean, that's those are the fat. Hold on. You're fat shaming another fat person? How do I said some people
Starting point is 00:33:13 would say that. You're like my previous stupid doctor. Oh my God. She just gave me double PTSD now. My previous doctor in Irvin, she was like, oh, no, I having this headache. And she, she was, like, oh, no, I haven't this headache and she was like, oh yeah, you could lose some weight. No, I'm sorry, man. That's not, not, no, no. I was like, my blood pressure is a little bit high. Yeah, I lose weight. My new doctor's like, no, you're good, Chris.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Keep it up. Well, unless he's a chubby chaser. Your doctor just wants you to die or chase you. Yeah, either one. He could be a chubby chaser because every time he looks at me, he is undressing me. He is undressing me. I can't tell you how embarrassing that is when doctors do that. I know.
Starting point is 00:33:56 I even gave you that this is the doctor. Oh my goodness. Remember the doctor that sent me for my special and then he said, they don't look American, but they're all good? Oh, yes. This is him. Oh, he could be checking you out then. I think so, too.
Starting point is 00:34:12 He always wore those nice, tight, skinny jeans when he comes in. And I'm like, hey, Doc. He's like, hey, Christian. Hey, Chris. It's Chris, not Christian. Oh, sorry. Hey, Christian. I like the Lord, too.
Starting point is 00:34:31 Okay, this isn't for the recording. But did you see where the Bronx Zoo has apologized for the horrific treatment of Otabenga, O-T-A-Benga, the Central African Man, who they used as part of the monkey house display with an orangutan in 1906. Now, they have apologized for that. But they already apologize. The Wildlife Conservation Society, they formally apologized,
Starting point is 00:35:10 but they apologized when in 1906. I mean, he was a member of the M-BUTI, M-B-B-T-U-T-E-U-T-E. people, which is present-day DRC. And for several days, during the week of September 8th and 1906, he was held in inhumane conditions, forced to live with an ape. He was only allowed short periods of time outside. He started to resist and threatened zoo attendance and then was released after a delegation of
Starting point is 00:35:46 local black churches demanded it when he was finally freed. and Reverend James Gordon took him to a Brooklyn orphanage and then I guess 10 years later he committed suicide so I guess they're trying to say that the suicide was because he was put in the zoo for a couple of days but they have denounced the past racism and they made all the records public they would have been public already right
Starting point is 00:36:19 It doesn't say how Atabenga from Mbute people ended up at the zoo I'm not really sure But see We were so far Past that And now we're digging up things
Starting point is 00:36:46 Of all the bad stuff that happened 100 years, over 100 years ago. I just... I don't know. All right, we can start recording now. We can talk about the zombie cicadas. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Hold on. I know. I know. I listen. The... I'm sorry? The what? The zombie cicadas.
Starting point is 00:37:15 I hate this show. This show never works when I wanted to work. Well, I mean, That's what this show is, is chewing the fat, and it's what we do. We don't work when the people want us to work. It's part of the deal. I can't find it. That sucks.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Okay. Okay. Well, let's talk about the, let's talk about the zombie cicadas now. Now, I just want you to know that this is generally harmless to humans. Okay. So you generally, you don't have to worry about it. Okay. I know. I know. Listen, this is where we're at, all right? So the parasite that the cicadas get is sexually transmitted infection.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Okay. So the cicadas have this infection and they lure other mating cicadas to them and then they infect that cicada. right hey you flap with those wings me and you're happy to see me wait no that's not the joke anyway the
Starting point is 00:38:46 cicadas begin to decay now get this these cicadas are in the ground for almost 17 years so the scientists don't know if they get this fungus
Starting point is 00:39:01 before they get this fungus before they go into the ground, on their way out of the ground, or once they're in the ground, or after they get out of the ground, if they don't know where they get it. So the spores from the spunk. Have they tried to see if they get it when they get bitten? So the spores eat away at the genitalia, the butts and the abdomens of the spores. abdomens of the cicadas until they eventually fall off and replaces all of it with the fungal spores, which I believe if you believe that cicadas feel things, that's got to hurt.
Starting point is 00:39:48 It doesn't sound like a good thing to have a some sort of disease that is eating away at your genitalia, your butt, and your abdomen. just to me, just off the top of my head, I would say, you know, that probably doesn't feel good. But I don't know if the cicadas feel anything. So, I mean, we'll just say that they don't. So they begin to decay, but rather than immediately die, all right? So this fungus, instead of eating away at the genitalia, the butts and the abdomens, and then killing them, it keeps them alive.
Starting point is 00:40:24 and they fly around to infect others. So it's like this mind-controlled disease on these insects. And they don't know where they get it from. And you can see it if you pick them up. They claim that there's a picture here in this story that they pick them up and they've got this nasty little orange thing. If you pick up a cicada and it's got this, got this eaten away
Starting point is 00:40:55 fungus you know that that's one of the the massopora parasitic fungus that manipulates male cicadas and deflicking their wings like females
Starting point is 00:41:12 and then infects the other diseases so like if you're just a regular male cicada I'm waiting for a hot female A Ticada to fly on by. And one of the infected cicadas starts flapping its wings.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Is that a hot cicada over there? I'm going to go take care of a little cicada business. And then I get infected. Right. I mean, I'm over here. Just looking for a little luck. Listen to that smooth cicada sound over there. I'm going to go take care of a little cicada business.
Starting point is 00:42:02 No, don't. Don't. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Plathido-Domingo. Right. And that's, in fact, the cicadas do. That's what they do. They fly around just saying, allow me to introduce myself.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Allow me to introduce myself. I am Placido-Domingo. And then they infect the other cicadas. And then those cicadas die. Get the infection and the same thing happens. Thank you. never-ending cycle, by the way. A never-ending cycle.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. It was surreal and bizarre. And there were no extra guests and no photos were allowed with the graduate, with the face being visible. Everybody had to wear masks. And she was just saying that it was this major event and it ended up being in a a roseball parking lot.
Starting point is 00:43:04 And all I could think of is I wanted to, I want to just continue to quote her from the great movie Volcano that she co-starred in with Tommy Lee Jones. And I just want to quote Anne H here. I know, right? I know. Okay then. You know, what kind of great thing that is, that is. Right? Right.
Starting point is 00:43:38 We've got, I mean, there are so much to. to get to. I don't even know where to begin as we try to wrap up the first broadcast of the week. We've got, you know, we'll just some quick headlines, I guess, just to get you through. Well, look, if you spent the money, if you spent some money this weekend, you are probably happy. Because I think we talked about this when they first agreed to this
Starting point is 00:44:08 with Apple. they had a settlement from the iPhone owners that sued them for the slowing down of performance of the older iPhone models. And they settled that deal. And under the settlement, you could get up to $25. I know, right? I mean, congratulations to the multi-billion dollar corporation that's getting ready to break their stocks in a one to four split, so everybody's getting ready to make a huge amount of money.
Starting point is 00:45:00 But they did a $500 million settlement to these lawsuits in 2017. So now if you go to, you have to go to a website and file your claim to get up to $25. So don't spend it everywhere. Don't spend it everywhere. Did you get your money yet, Chris? No, remember because I needed to have my number. Oh, you need to have the receipt.
Starting point is 00:45:37 No, serial number. I needed my serial number, and I don't have my serial number of all the iPhones I've owned. amazingly they do but they don't have to provide it no no they do not that's right now that's right now i'm going to pissed off again all over the same stupid thing i was making a joke about you being able to get up to twenty five dollars from a five hundred million dollar settlement and now i'm pissed off an apple again for making the people who actually were part of the lawsuit who had the devices prove that they
Starting point is 00:46:11 had the devices when they make a big deal themselves of saying that they know who has all their devices. That's, I need to take a breath for a second. Did we not ever, did no one in Russia watch the TV show on, is Amazon TV is available in Russia, right? Do we know that? You got to be able to get Amazon in Russia, right? So, Russian scientists have now found and are now unearthing a woolly mammoth
Starting point is 00:46:48 that has been well preserved in this Arctic Circle Siberian lake in the shallows and there's video of them pulling these bones and part of the bones still have meat and muscles on them and they're pulling it out of this peninsula, this Arctic Circle. Apparently no one in Russia saw fortitude on Amazon TV. But if they had, they would,
Starting point is 00:47:18 would just leave this willy mammoth right the hell where it is under dirt and ground and water because if you haven't seen fortitude first season is really good after that but remember it is the beginning of the beginning of walking dead and it all starts with the unearthing of woolly mammoths that a spoiler? I'm sorry. By the way, Prime is available worldwide except for mainland, China, Iran, North Korea,
Starting point is 00:48:00 and Syria. So they should have seen it? Yes. My gosh, we're just playing with fate now. That's just playing with fate. I mean, that hurts. That hurts.
Starting point is 00:48:17 That hurts. Good news, too. Operation Warp Speed is going out there, we're going to have a COVID-19 vaccine soon. Cannot wait. Cannot wait. The giant fund that has made huge investments in five separate prospects. There's only been one, I think.
Starting point is 00:48:52 that is at the final stage of testing for the vaccine. So good luck, God bless. Good luck, God bless. I mean, we're talking about the U.S. According to, you know, I keep hearing that we haven't been containing it well. I don't know that I believe that, but they keep saying it. So it must be true, right? Officials in Australia declared their Victoria state, a state of disaster because there's, you know, out of control numbers with COVID-19.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Norway, they started up international cruises since all of them were canceled, but, oh, no. Nope, not anymore. They tested positive again, so we're shutting it back down. Vietnam is testing a 1.1 million residents of the city of Danang, denang, after it was linked to the outbreak. So they're going to be locking down. This worldwide lockdown from COVID-19 is, to me, incredible. And I keep saying that word.
Starting point is 00:50:14 It's amazing. It's unbelievable. It's incredible. But some of the things that are happening here in the United States, alone. And you know what? You know what? I don't care about the rest of the world.
Starting point is 00:50:26 I don't care. Yeah, that's right. That's right. America first. We need to get back to the business of being America. I thought that sounded pretty good.
Starting point is 00:50:38 It's not going to happen. But we need to get back to doing the business of America, man. Wow. And so many places are in trouble. Congratulations, too. to 7-11 stores.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Speedway is selling its convenience store chain. Marathon Petroleum is selling all their Speedway convenience store chains to 7-Eleven. And that's why. Remember it was Speedway in the Northeast that just stopped selling the donuts, right? Not long ago, they stopped selling the donuts. We made a big deal about Speedway, not selling, was it Duncan? No, it was the other donuts. Who's the other big donut company?
Starting point is 00:51:19 You know. No, it was Duncan. It was Duncan Donuts. Sure? Yeah, it wasn't Krispy Cream donuts. It was Dunkin' Donuts. Yeah, Krispy Kreme. That's what I thought it was.
Starting point is 00:51:30 No, it was Dunkin Donuts because they don't, they now want to focus on actually having a building instead of renting a space on all these gas stations. So Speedway kicked him out. And then they just said, the Speedway kicked him out. No, no, no. You're not kicking us out. You're not kicking us out. We're kicking you out.
Starting point is 00:51:51 I feel like you're not listening to what I said. And you're reading between the lines. Duncan is like, hey, we want to have our own space. We want to have our own building. We don't want to be inside in the corner, sharing, you know, counter space with the other people. We just want to be by ourselves, our own store, and Colin Duncan. So what you're saying is that they didn't. like being in the little
Starting point is 00:52:20 plexiglass container. No. The other donut company. Yes. But what really happened is that Speedway said we're kicking you out like that and then Duncan said no, you're not kicking us out. We're kicking you out. So
Starting point is 00:52:36 anyway, they're selling to 7-Eleven for $21 billion. It's crazy because they just Duncan just closed 450 speedway locations. Right.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Yeah. Wow. Yeah. And you're saying that Speedway, no, I'm saying the Speedway, I'm saying the
Starting point is 00:53:01 side I'm fighting for. No, you're fighting for the big oil. I'm fighting for... Meatway kicking them out. Yeah, that's right. You're fighting for big oil trying to just capitalize on everything.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Those bastards. Those bastards are speedway. I'm fighting for the little donut guy that says, hey, I just want to be here. And I want to be my own man, but you're not letting me be my own man. Right. We're going to leave you. We're going to be our own stories, darn it.
Starting point is 00:53:31 Oh, what, I got to thank, look, I asked for people to start spending in their Iceland screams to chewing the fat. And I still want you to send it to chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Iceland is still accepting. email screams and so is chewing the fat. And as an example, I'd like to think I believe it was JD.
Starting point is 00:53:56 Let me double check that. Make sure that is correct. Yes, that's correct. J.D. sent in his Iceland chewing the fat scream to the show. And it looked like instead of doing one
Starting point is 00:54:14 per family member, or I should say it sounds like instead of doing one per family member jd just got the family together and created a family iceland scream at some point i'll figure out what he says but i do appreciate the scream and i expect more screams soon chewing the fat at the blaze dot com now i know you finish the show Jeff Fisher, but I went to the website. I mean, I can keep going if you want.
Starting point is 00:55:05 I know you can keep going. Can you just let me talk? I went to the website. I went to the website about the screen. And have you already done it? Have you already sent your screen? Yeah, I didn't send it to the show, but. No, no, not to the show to Iceland.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Did you send, you know, it looks like you need. Actually, I have done it. You haven't. I feel like we need to do it as a show. And when we do it here live, you know, I'm going to prep it up. I'm going to bring it up on the computer. And since we're all connected to... So, I mean, some were, as we did, you know, I played some of the other, you know,
Starting point is 00:55:45 the examples from the website before. And, you know, as people were thinking with their little whistles. And some people were, um, um, no, I hope that this family, J.D. sent theirs to Iceland as well. So we do actually get a chewing the fat mention in Iceland. Right. There's another example.
Starting point is 00:56:09 That's probably the guy from London or there was a guy from New York that they had an example of. So I mean, it's just silly. So do you want to do, do you want to do a... I feel like we need to do a... What kind of scream are you thinking about?
Starting point is 00:56:23 I don't know. I don't know. I'm ready to rock and roll. The website is up. The website is capturing and all I have to do is click and hold and says please scream responsibly the world is listening so are you ready

Starting point is 01:07:14 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?
