You look great today. Better than ever. I mean that. Better than ever. Sure, you put on a couple of pounds. but who among us hasn't. It's starting to turn into a little frightening experience, actually. It may be time to, I don't know, leave the house.

Be careful when you do, wear a mask, move around a little, but it might be time to actually leave the house and, I don't know, move a little. Don't, whatever you do, don't get angry when you get your pepperoni pizza, and there's only one pepperoni on it, though, because apparently there are pepperoni shortages going out around the country. I know. I know. I know what you're saying.

Wait, why don't they just put a bunch of pepperonies on there and raise the price? No. No, no, no, no, no. Pepperoni pizza is a right in America. So I guess there's a, you know, there's a shortage of pepperonies. The pork plants are down thanks to the pandemic. and so the pizza shops are either getting charged more for the same order or they're not getting as much pepperoni as what they order. So your prices are going to go up and the amount of pepperonies on your pizza are going to be going down.

Wait for it. You're going to get the pepperoni pizza with, well, it's the same price with only three pepperonies on it. So, yes. Welcome to the New America. So one of my favorite stories. Can I interrupt you before you continue? Can I? Apparently you can.

That is true. I can't. Have you really gained weight? Oh my God. No, no, no, seriously. 823 pounds. You know, sometimes I really hate. Today, 824.

I really hate having conversation with you sometimes. So I'm being serious. Have you gained weight? during the pandemic or are you not keeping track? I'm not sure you understood when I said, oh, my gosh, of course. This, because I haven't. I went to the doctor last week or whenever I posted a picture and I haven't stepped on a scale since then. And it tipped evenly right where I was.

Tipped evenly. So did mine. Mine tipped evenly. It was just where I was last time. So for me, a pandemic doesn't do anything for me. My scale stopped working during the pandemic. Something to do with COVID-19. Didn't you and Amber just got like a brand new scale?

Not that I recall. I think would you even talked about it? Not that I recall. I haven't gained weight. I'm maintained. We actually, you know, we did get a new scale because they needed to. to, you know, weigh the father-in-law when the home health nurses came, and there was the scale that we had broke.

So we got a new one. But every time you go in the hospital now, apparently the new insurance plan is everybody gets a scale, right? You go home with a scale. I've got 85 scales in the garage right now, all from the hospital. So are we saying that we are starting a scale business, a door-to-door, you know, screw those knives, and vacuums

and those things that you put in the garage, those back, those big back, anyways, we're going to start selling. That's not a bad idea. It's not a bad idea. Think about it. Everybody's at home.

Nobody's going anywhere. Do you want to see how much weight you gained this pandemic by the official CTF weight scale? Or loss. I mean, you could have lost weight over. I mean, you could have been.

No one is losing weight. You could have eaten. Nobody. Cut your diet down. Nobody. Could have gone for walks. That is true, though. That is true.

There has been a influx of, I've seen neighbors I've never seen before in the last four months. Oh, she's pregnant. And next thing you know, oh, she's not pregnant anymore. Oh, no. So she must have the kid. Now she's pushing a cart. I just saw her. She was pregnant at the beginning of the pandemic, which is why I said it.

I just saw her pass by. The bell is still there, but she's pushing that little car. Yeah. Trying to work off the post baby weight. And that's one of the stories I was leading into is that, speaking of being pregnant, it was a big story this weekend on Instagram. I mean, who doesn't follow Instagram all weekend long? The twins.

What twins? Okay. So, get this. Apparently. Now, I remember kind of remember the story. about the identical twins that married the identical twins. They met like two or three years ago

at the Twins Day Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio. And then the next year they all got married. So the twin girls meet the twin brothers and they get married. Okay. So now you have

Josh and Jeremy married to the two. And they're, you know, they're not bad. They're not bad. The wives. So they're ugly. Brittany. Hold on. I'm sorry? So they're ugly. No. Yes. If you... I just didn't want to say they were hot. So they're not... Oh my gosh. Okay. Hold that. Give me the names again. Josh and who?

Josh and was it. Josh and Jeremy or the boys? Josh and Jeremy twins marriage. Josh and Jeremy and the wives are Brianna and Brittany. Oh, dude. They're hot. That's why they're not bad That's what I said What I was thinking like Tubby 1 and tubby 2 Married tubby 3 and tubby 4 No for

For guys they look pretty good Dude they look great Oh you're talking about the girls They both look great So now they're both pregnant Right now they have the coronavirus babies COVID-19 babies, preggers Are they gonna

I'm you know they're excited They're excited about the Now they both got married at the same time they've dated at the same time now they're both pregnant at the same time I'm guessing that they're gonna be induced so they can both have their kids at the same time right whichever they gotta have them at the same time now imagine if they have twins a whole man that family just quadrupled well no it actually doubled quadruple oh they no they

no they doubled there's no twins had twins that would be four more people. I'm highly upset about this. At four. There's no baby bump picture. Yeah, there is. It's the, they posted it on Instagram with the baby watch. Yeah, but you can't see the bump.

I want to see a bump. I'm all about the bump. We all know that I'm all about the bump. And if I don't see a bump, like I play, like I, my wife's now starting to show a bump and I'm like, okay. Now that's a

All right. But I don't see a bump. By the way. Their Instagram post. I am at their, I'm literally at their Instagram page. Do I need to share my screen so you can see where I'm at too? I'm looking at the Instagram photo now as we speak. As everybody is watching.

You're watching live on the 17th of August. I'm going to share my screen with everybody. Yeah, that's the one. You can see the baby. This one right here is getting chubier. And I don't think that's pregnancy chubby. Think about it. Look what I'm pointing at right here.

I don't think this is pregnancy chubby. The hubby looks like he's getting the pregnancy weight too. Hobby. Okay, we have to digest this. This is an entire YouTube video here. And by the way, for all those new listeners, we support women here all the time, which is why we want to point us out. Look at the couple to your right and look at the couple to the left.

Yeah. The left is maintaining their weight. Yeah, they are. The right? Ooh. Eat a little bit more. Look at his legs. Those are some...

I know. They're at the table first. Yes. There's some thunder thighs that I don't know which one is him, Jeremy or Josh. But you're... She doesn't know either. It doesn't know. They don't know.

No, they're just okay. You two are the heaviest. You stand over here. But they look great. And I do see a little bit of a bump, but it's not a bump. So, I mean, you're right. I mean, if they have, if they have twins, now that's a story. Yes, that is a great story.

The story isn't good enough that the twins met the twins. No. Got married. No. And are now having, now pregnant at the same time. The story is something if the twins marry the twins and they both have twins. Which, by the way, Jeffrey, who among us hasn't married their twin? Like hasn't gone out there and married a twin.

No, hasn't gone out there and married a twin. Like, who among it hasn't done? That's like all news. The news is the twins married a twin and they birth twins. Or what about the birth triplets? Because I think the person on the right is heading to a triplets. Now, and another inside story would be what if one of the twin females has twins then the other one only has a single nothing baby.

Dude, that's going to be, because you know that one, we'll get the deal of a lifetime. Lifetime, we'll make a movie about them. TLC will give them a TV show. Inside will do a host. It should be happening.

Why isn't the show already happening? It should be just twins already happening. I don't know. Maybe a network can jump in and give them a budget and say, let's follow you. Who among us? Fisher.

We watched, I'm going to include your news because I bet you watch it too, that Octo Mom. We all watch Octomom. Oh, yeah. And the whole thing about the- I still click. I still click on the clickbait picture. Oh, yeah. You will not believe what Octo Mom looks like today. Octom.

She's pregnant with another Octo. Here's what Octo mom looks like now. Yes. We all click on this. This. And they look great. great like the dudes look like they belong at the bachelor yeah they the guys can't they can't now no no no but if you look at those pictures that is the typical bachelor ABC producer go to those two guys

they feel like the picture of them together pre prego announcement they're reversed okay let me click on if you look at the picture okay we're together no not that one The one down at the bottom, right-hand corner here. Yeah, that one. Okay. I feel like they're reversed from the baby watch picture. But see, here, they both, like, the girls look twins. But I'm saying the one on the left looks a little bit more chunkier.

True. That is true. The baby watch picture, the chunky one is on the right. Yes, yes. We're breaking this down way too much. But I tell you this, this one is taking pregnancy. way too freely. Honey, just because they say

you could eat everything doesn't mean you get to eat everything. Yes, it does. You can't argue with that with the pregnant woman. You can't. There's no, that is not an argument you can have. Whatever the female wants when she's pregnant, the female gets.

That pretty much holds true, you know, during, after beginning, any pregnancy, any female, really that holds true. But especially when they're pregnant. You can't turn them down. And one thing here, too, is it says our children will not only be cousins, but full genetic siblings and quaternity multiples. What is that? What is that?

Fours. You know, four. Well, I know that means four. I'm not a freaking idiot. I know. It sounded like it. I know, but like, and are we done? I'll look it up.

I'll look at up. Hold on. Killed me with the quad. Okay. Quaternary Q, UATI, definition. This is Miriam Webster. I love Miriam. Oh yeah, we do. Favorite. But she's the only one.

Thank you. Relating to or consisting of four units or members, thank you. That's what I said. Also, it has nothing to do with twins. I thought it was like a special twin word that the only they they could use it. Now, it also could be consisting of or containing or being an atom bounded by four other atoms. So it could be that too.

So did they share their wives? Could be that. You know, you don't know that. Do they know who's who? I don't know. I don't know. But anyway, we'll be following the twins, married to twins, having babies. Hopefully they will have twins as well.

here I'm chewing the fat By the way Fisher I'm looking at the profile picture TLC already came up Oh there you go A TV show called TLC's Our Twin Sane wedding

Oh just the wedding though But you know TLC already has The camera crew They were in the bedroom when the You know conception started And they're going to be at the hospital When the birth is happening I mean they own the twin

yearly party from now on, right? Yes, yes, yes. I mean, Twinsville, is it Twinsville, Ohio? Hold on, is that the Twinsburg, Ohio? That's their city now. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.

There's no question. Oh, isn't that special? Now, I didn't realize this as well. Now, they met at the Twins Day Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio. They also, the brothers, the twins, proposed

to the sisters, the twins at Twin Lakes Park. Okay, now I'm pissed. That cute. Let's stop it. I'm going back under social media. Tubby was Tubby.

So she just likes, she's one of those that fluctuates. She gains and loses. The other one maintains it. Which is okay with that. We all can be, you know, you can't be perfect. It can be perfect. But you think that the twins are supposed to be, the same, aren't they?

True. Yeah. So, so. When would they? I guess that's how you tell the difference from your wife. When would they? Rihanna, get over here. Now you're not Brighanna. You're too thin. Come here. I wanted to thank my man, speaking of T-word, Tiny.

If you subscribe to my YouTube channel, chewing the fat, you'll see the unwrapping of my gift, gavel and and block that I got as a gift that was made for chewing the fat. And for those of you, you know, watching live, I'll hold this up, but you can see it on the YouTube channel as well. The gavel and has chewing the fat engraved in it. And it is fantastic. Thank you so much. Thank you.

And this right here, if you're listening live right now, you can hear the trash truck in the neighborhood backing up and actually making their beep, beep, beep. That's not me. That's the trash truck in the neighborhood. I'd like to ask them, quiet in the court. I'd like to

remind everyone that no program on the Blaze podcast, the Blaze television, the Blaze Radio Network, perhaps even any network across America, has been a bigger supporter, a

bigger proponent of the United States Postal Service than this program chewing the fat. I in fact have thrown my head into the ring for Postmaster General. I in fact have given you a special on the Postal Service and let you know that it's not the Postmaster General who's actually in charge. It's the Board of Governors who are in charge. I did see a thread sometime this weekend on Twitter that did break down

the Board of Governors with their home addresses. So not only do they want you to pro-examine. protest the Postmaster General, someone understands a little bit of the hierarchy of the Postal Service and wants you to go and protest in front of the Board of Governors' Homes. Okay. Apparently now we have to hate the Postal Service. And it's only because it's being run into the ground from Donald Trump, not the fact that it's been, I don't know, attempting to be running to the ground for 40 years. now, maybe more. We've talked about on the show about the removal of the mailboxes. In fact, my

original plan was to use those mailboxes and the space is where those mailboxes were for drone landings, for drone deliveries around America. I think, you know, I remember that. Many of you may not. I also remember that those boxes have been being removed. Because I don't know, the people that are protesting the Postal Service,

and wanting more money for the Postal Service and believing that Donald Trump is destroying the Postal Service, I would like to have them asked, when was the last time you actually put an envelope in one of those mailboxes? Because I believe the answer would be they couldn't remember. I don't know. I don't know. And do those mailboxes actually mean that your vote

isn't going to count through the mail, which is why you should actually just go and, I don't know, vote. Anyway, I digress. I just want you to know that the Postal Service has been struggling for a long time. And the argument between, well, UPS and Amazon and FedEx have been delivering stuff better than the Postal Service for a long time, well, those particular businesses, while do a fine job at a, a rate that's a lot more expensive than the Postal Service charges you,

don't deliver to every house every day. Well, neither does the Postal Service. They don't deliver to every house every day either. Haven't you heard the stories about the mail not getting delivered? I have. I have. And I've heard those stories for many years because you have rogue postal workers that decide they can't do the job.

we've had stories about postal workers throwing mail along the side of the road because they don't want to deliver it we've had stories about postal workers keeping mail in their basement for years because they don't want to deliver so there is that problem those are rare those are not i mean during this pandemic my postal worker or a postal worker you know the mailman Oh, no, not the mailman. It's a postal worker. Okay. It's a post-a-delivery person. Okay. That person has been in my neighborhood every day. Goes up to every mailbox.

The mail is being delivered. And you don't need a blue box to actually mail things. You can go out to that little box in front of your house, and the postal worker will pick it up and mail it for you. What the Postmaster General was saying, is that with the influx of a greater amount of mail, if you're going to be voting through the mail, it's going to make it difficult to get those all delivered.

And yes, there will be problems. Absolutely there will be problems. But it is put me in charge. That's all I'm saying. Just put me in charge. Get rid of it. I don't care if you want to put me on the board of governors. I'll go back and I'll go down to the lowly postmaster general.

job and I'll do that for a little while till you know we get things running smooth and then I could step up to the board of governors you know so the postmaster general answers to the board of governors that's how it works but he is the face of the of the post office of the United States Postal Service I just find it amazing that now we're all supposed to be for the post office but only because we we hate Trump. It's incredible to me that we have to hate everything because of our president. Amazing. And we can go on. I mean, I know I don't like to talk about politics on the show, and I apologize when I break into it, but it drives me insane. How many things we're supposed to

hate now because our president likes it or doesn't like it so we like it. But it wasn't that way in the past. I just don't, truly don't understand that mindset. Just burn it all down. That's the mindset. You know what? I do understand it. Just burn it all down and the hell with it.

It doesn't matter, right? It doesn't matter. Just burn it down and that'll be the end of it. And we'll take your house and we'll take, they're coming for you. Whether you're on your side or not, they're coming for you. We saw examples of that this weekend, didn't we? where neighborhoods are now being overrun by the protesters because they will come for you at some point.

So be ready. I don't want them to come to my neighborhood. I'm on their side. I don't have a sticker in my, I don't support. I'm all for them. I'm all for them. Don't come to my neighborhood.

Go down to some other neighborhood. And that's the mindset instead of, how about everybody just try to get along a little bit? I think those days are over. I'll go to the break room. Seriously, I need a drink. Seriously, I need a drink. Oh my gosh.

And remember also, just as a side note, you know, the mail never stops. part of the problem. The mail never stops. That's why we can't deliver it all. Hey, subscribe to this podcast. If you're listening to the show right now and you're not a subscriber to chewing the fat, what are you doing?

And I can't believe you, out of all people, Jeff Fisher, have not talked about the new inductee into the Radio Hall of Fame. I'm getting to it. How is this that we just get in it? Oh, yeah. Let's go to our man on the street.

Let's go to our man on the street. Street. Chris Cruz is reporting breaking news. Chris. Hey, Fish. I'm right here right in front of Radio Hall of Fame 2020 that the class of 2020 just got posted. And I want to tell you that your boss, your friend, you love them, you hate him. Glenn Beck has made the 2020 Radio Hall of Fame. About freaking time. It's about freaking time. that no one in national radio has deserved to be in the Radio Hall of Fame more than Glenn Beck and he has not been in.

And by not getting in it. I mean, I know, look, there's plenty of people that deserve to go in before him, but they were already in. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, we'll... There's been, oh, in the last, in the last, This is the second time he was nominated. Yes. So let's say in the last five years, all right, the last five years, we'll just go back five years.

Anyone that's been inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame within the last five years, no one has deserved more than Glebbeck to go in, and he hasn't gone in. It's embarrassed. Now, I'll go down. And I'm glad that he got in. I'll go. Thank you to the voters. I'll go down the list of the class of 2020 of Radio Hall of Fame.

Mark and Brian from the KLOS Los Angeles for longstanding local slash regional 20 or more They were great congratulations Donnie Simpson WMMJ Washington DC Then the active local slash regional 10 years or more goes to Angie Martinez WWPR New York City I love Angie

Which by the way I love that WWPR That's PR in there That's Puerto Rico in there And it goes to Ani Martinez. Great. Yes. A longstanding network and syndication, 20 or more.

Cookie Roberts. And who doesn't know Cookie Roberts? Cookie. No, Cookie Roberts. Cookie Roberts. Who doesn't know Cookie Roberts and her cookie line? Her Roberts cookie line is delicious. It's political reporter, NPR.

And I'm really surprised that these guys were not on the Hall of Fame and good for them. Active Network, 10 years or more, the Breakfast Club. You got, Charmeline the Dog, I'm the God, not the Dog, Angela Yee and DJ Envy, Premier Network. I love the Breast Club. Yeah, they're great. No, you don't. Music format on-air personality goes to Sway Callaway, Shade 45 slash SiriusXM, and spoken word on-air's personality, Glenbeck, the Glymbeck Program, Premier Network.

time. Now, I didn't know this one quick fact. I was only part, you know, a little part of that, you know, show. Okay. Don't try. Don't try to. So do you get the trophy or whatever? The syndicated show I was only part of, you know, sort of the whole, you know, I don't know, I'd tell you. But the, you know, I'm sorry. I feel like this is pretty cool that this year is the 100 anniversary of the founding of the radio medium. That's pretty cool. His story. You leave it. Glenn is introduced to the Radio Hall of Fame on the 100th year of the radio medium. That's great.

Now, let's talk money. How much do we get as a company? Now, do prices go up and do people get races? I guess. Because you, Fisher, I'm not a sports guy and I've never followed sports. You follow sports more than I do. When a person gets MVP or a person is introduced on any, form of Hall of Fame or any form of trophy, doesn't that get them a pay raise?

It does. And it gets all surrounding entourage of pay raise. Exactly. So it gets if we're, if you're part of the, the back posse. Okay. We can plan on that. Yes. Okay.

So what we're saying is that I can move out out of this apartment that you see me right now on. And I can move into a. more and luxurious place because now my boss is on the Hall of Fame and money's just going to trickle down like there's no more right now just remember you know just remember now it trickles down you know more to the the posse members that have been around longer yes yes yes yes so you know you're not going to get say as much as some others but there's something coming oh i think you can count on that there will be stuff Something coming.

So I thought maybe we'd do a little coronavirus update. We haven't really done a coronavirus update. And, you know, technically we're still in the, you know, kind of lockdown pandemic phase. Certainly didn't look like it yesterday, driving around the DFW area. Went out with my wife for a little while. And I didn't go in any particular establishment, but we were out driving around. and it seems like especially here in my neck of the woods in DFW,

people are done with the lockdown world. They are out and about. So I think that we're starting to feel the turn of, look, we're America, we will, it's our choice. to do what we want to do and we're going to be out and about. So I was looking, I haven't looked at any of these numbers. We used to do it every day in the heart of the pandemic. So right now, worldwide, there are 21,900,054 coronavirus cases, almost 22 million, 774, 34,394 deaths.

So here in the United States of America, we have 5,573,154 total cases. 173,186 deaths. Wow. And we have 6,522 new cases. As we scroll down, you get, you know, Brazil, India, Russia, South Africa, Peru, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Spain, Iran, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Italy, Turkey, Germany, France, Iraq, Philippines. Where the heck is China on this list? China's all the way down to 34th. Remember it took China forever, forever to get to 83,000. Well, now they're at 84,849 cases. They actually admit to 22 new cases in China. Wow. 34th on the list, if you believe it. I mean, it's they're showing pictures now in China of Wuhan

out partying at the pool party where they were all in intertubes hundreds if not thousands of people gathering so I guess it's over I guess it's over and the great New Zealand that had it all figured out they had a few new cases show up

so they're locking down so that's kind of like I don't know what it should be if we go back out into the world then if there's a hot spot, we lock down that hot spot. And then when it clears up, we open it up again. And the rest of the world goes on.

We don't kill America. As far as the TSA checkpoint numbers, yesterday, 862,949 through the turnstile. We're still looking at last year's numbers, there was 2.5 million through the turnstile. So we've got a long way to go. before we're close to that. Some of the coronavirus headlines,

there's a new saliva test that receives FDA emergency use authorization. We'll see if that works. I know the saliva test talks about it's staying alive for an extra period of time, even in the warmth. We'll see if that's true or not. I mean, we heard from Dr. Fauci.

He told Matthew McConaughey in an interview that sunlight kills COVID-19. I don't know, I guess it takes a while for the sunlight to actually kill it. We are hearing now that 40% of the U.S. COVID-19 tests come back too late to be clinically meaningful. Oh, well, that's special. We have a hydroxychloric one that is being now said, forget it, doesn't work. And there's severe side effects. Oh, okay.

well those side effects certainly helped a lot of people get over COVID-19 but apparently it doesn't work now so and if it does the severe side effects are bad well the side effects from COVID-19 are pretty bad too just saying okay remember way back to in June I mean two months ago how old were you Two months ago. You can't even remember two months ago. When the who, yeah, said that, oh, you know, asymptomatic people don't even spread it. You can't even hardly catch it from them. And then they came out and said, no, no, no, no.

What I meant was is you can't catch it from them. But we think the results aren't 100%. And we don't know exactly. We're not sure. So, yeah, you probably can still catch it from. We just don't know. I mean, we're still being told to wear masks. We're told that masks aren't good.

We're told that many of the masks we're wearing aren't good, wear this kind of mask. We're told that it's best, if you really were concerned, we had the great Fauci tell us that if you're really concerned, you should wear the super duper mask and the goggles and maybe be in your suit as well. Well, if you're that concerned, go out in a suit then and wear your mask and wear your goggles, or don't go out. But that's the whole point.

You make the choice. so the rest of it can go out into the world. And I say, when I don't have me the rest of us, look, I've made the choice personally to, you know, I'm not rubbing shoulders with a bunch of people. I'm not doing it. But I don't want to shut down the world either.

I want businesses to be open. I want people to go out. I want the country back. I mean, we had the huge story a couple days ago, and now it made the headlines from James L. Tudcher, who's talked about New York being dead forever. And his story is incredible about New York. And I'm going to say this once, and I don't really want, you know, I probably shouldn't say it.

While James' huge story is correct, we heard the same thing from Stu for the last few weeks about New York. And the reason that New York was New York, we put up with all the crap because it was New York. And it was worth being there. now it's not worth being there. So nobody wants to put up with the crap because it's not worth being there. It's just, that's as much credit as I'm giving to Stu. That's it.

He's got some stupid show on Blaze TV called something that airs on this network sometime. You can find it if you go to blaishtiv.com. But that's it. I'm not promoing his show anymore. This is chewing the fat. Download and subscribe. Subscribe to more content at theblease.com slash podcasts.

Podcasts now in order. All seated or all rise or whatever you want to do. I don't care. Just listen. How you doing? So is Ellen in jail yet? Have we thrown Ellen DeGeneres in jail yet? Because she is a horrible person.

Her show is disgusting. She disgust me. I not only want her off television now. I want her in jail. Does that happen yet? Because there are new stories every day. I know we talked about it last week, and I'll give up on the Allen fight, but just know that she's done.

They are not going to let her back. It is over for her. I mean, we have stories about guests on her show. She just sat off to the side during breaks. And what is she supposed to do? play cards and dance during the breaks? No, she just sat down. And then it was just like when they came back for breaks,

she turned it on again. Well, that's what you do. And you don't know what was going on in her life at the time. It was just incredible. Then they have, they're showing old interviews where she, Jessica Simpson was on. And Jessica came back later and said that she was drunk on the show. And I guess Ellen was supposed to be nicer than she was.

She was mean. She pushed and prodded some of her guests. It's just amazing to me. Anyway, I want her in jail. I want her done. It's over. I'm sick of hearing about her. I'm sick about her.

I want her in jail. Then we get the story of her house being robbed in Montecino, which I find incredible because that's where the royals are moving to. in that same neighborhood into the safe gated community but there's people have broken into her house now according to the police

the burglary was an inside job what does that mean does that mean the maid stole stuff I don't know apparently they were home when the number of

high value jewelry and watches were stolen you know Look, the house is 8,188 square feet. Is it possible that they could have been at home and someone come into the house and rob them while they were home? Sure. Sure. What I do love about the story.

My favorite part is we believe it's an inside job. And so the sheriff's department is like, look, don't worry about it. The couple's home was targeted due to their celebrity status. It was nothing to worry about it. It was an inside job. You don't have to, you know, worry about your other house. Your houses, it's fine. The community doesn't need to worry about more robberies taking place.

And then it says, we're continuing to investigate. Oh, that's good. And they're also continuing an investigation to see if the burglary was connected to other recent home break-ins. So there is a possibility that there is a problem in the area. But no, no, no, don't worry about it. That is just a thing we're doing. Sure, we're looking into seeing if it was connected to other recent home break-ins, but we're pretty sure it was a home inside job,

and you don't have to worry about it. Okay. All right. Harry, Megget, how are you feeling about that move into Montecito now? apparently Harry hated LA yeah just remember remember my prediction

remember my prediction okay yeah I know I know you go back and listen to some previous podcast but my prediction is he will be he ain't going to be around two years

I forget what I said it's been I think at the year and a half right they get a divorce or they're going to be split up, so I got to go back and see what I actually predicted. But they won't be together, it's over. So they're going to get robbed, and then he's going to want to go back home. Be ready.

Be ready for it. It's just amazing. I don't want to comment a little bit on a couple of tweets and a couple of emails. Those of you emailing in at Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com, and you know, following on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR,

Facebook, Instagram parlor at Jeff Fisher Radio. The first tweet was a Twitter must be lying to me. I see that Jeffrey liked this, but I won't believe he has ever had sushi. Well, and he's asking for

Keith or Pat to confirm. I'll confirm for you. I am not a big fan of sushi. You can quote me on that. However, I did like the business insider tweet about how to eat sushi. the right way, according to

chef Nobu Matsuishi. Because he, there was a, you know, like a I don't know, two or three minute video from him on how to eat sushi and how to go about it. And my daughter loves sushi. And I wanted her to see it.

So I liked it so I could go back and show her and watch it with her. And that's as close as I'm coming to sushi. Okay? Just wanting to be clear about that. I got an email asking, well, not really asking a question, but picking apart one of the things that happens on this show. It's from Dominic, and it said, I noticed many times that you incorrectly say parentheses when you are quoting someone. For example, I'm glad he sent an example, too.

You say, and the man said, parentheses, I'm innocent. when you mean, apparently he knows what I mean, that the man said, quote, I'm innocent. You can quote me on that. Well, I would like to say, I'm pretty sure I may say, you know, and the man said in parentheses. And I do that so I can, you know, if you're watching live, you can see my fingers do the thing. you know the the parentheses thing but look if you know what i mean then how i say it the way i say it is not important you know what i mean that it should be quote rather than parentheses so get off my back okay get off my back that's what i'm saying that's what i'm saying get off my saying get off my

couple things before we wrap it up today. I just want to let you know. Don't forget the Democratic National Convention starts today for those of you listening live the 17th of August 2020 and tonight tonight exciting night. Michelle Obama

Bernie Sanders Amy Klobuchar Andrew Cuomo all speaking in Milwaukee. Well, they're not going to be in Milwaukee but they're going to be part of the national convention. So right? I know. I know. I know. And good news. Speaking of the Democratic National Convention, which leads us into the election, YouTube is going to ban videos that they feel could interfere with the election.

That's what I want from YouTube. That's what I want from YouTube. I want them to ban videos that they feel that they're They think could interfere with the election. Thank you. YouTube. Thank you so much. Thank you. It means a lot to me that you're going to ban videos that you think are going to interfere with the election. I don't want to have to decide from myself.

I don't. And thank you again for taking care of it for me. I really appreciate it. And I see, I saw we had some reports of people actually. going to the movie theaters this weekend, but it's a big time coming up because AMC is

reopening their theaters, right, to celebrate, I don't know what the hell they're celebrating. They're celebrating. Okay, you know why they're celebrating movie buff. You're probably the first one in line at the aim. And by the way, when was serious question? I know you're not going to be serious about it. I mean, wouldn't bother asking this dumb question.

Oh, well, you said serious question. So, I mean, I'll answer you seriously. When was the last time you went to an AMC? Well, I mean, obviously before the pandemic, you know, before the lockdown. You did not go. You went to Cynemark. You want you boozy.

You want the food people. An AMC, all they have is a hot dog, nachos, and popcorn. My daughter and I went to, let's see, you were at Cinemark, and then we went to the food, you know, the food place. And then I think my daughter and I went to an AMC to watch, to watch a movie in, I don't know, October, November or something like that. Okay.

So, you know, for a while. AMC on August 20th will celebrate the 100th year in service. Oh, good for them. We'll start to charge the same prices that they were charging in 1920, which was, Jeffrey, you, you probably were at the old. of the first AMC theater in 1920. It was, well, to be honest, I was there with my mascot because we were smack dab

in the middle of the Spanish flu pandemic. Oh, okay. So it'll be just like it was back then. Oh, I hope you don't get any PTSD from going to the movie theaters. And it will be 15 cents a ticket. That's pretty, that's actually, That's actually pretty good. Yeah.

And after this, you know, because I got this from the Marketwash.com, after this, their shares sold 14%, blah, blah, blah. So they're going to be, the tickets are 15 cents. Are they still charging you 2020 money for the popcorn? We don't know that. I think they expect you to go find out. So they got you for the 15 cents movie ticket. You doubt. By the way.

No way. Well, they're saying, and I don't want to quote them incorrectly, they're saying that they will charge the 1920 price of a ticket. They're not saying all of our AMC theaters will not go back to 1920 prices on everything. Right. Plus, and it is, it is like if I have a buy four tickets, that's 60 cents. Yes. Each ticket is 15 cents.

Yes. Wow. So, by the way, a little bit of history. In 1920, the 12th Street and Grand Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri. That's when the first AMC opened. And we all know that Fisher, you were there with your mask because the Spanish flu was killing people. Yeah, people were dropping over, you know, actually they were. But people were dropping over dead.

Oh, you know, it was because of Trump. And the economy was shut down and people didn't want to do anything and businesses weren't open. Oh, wait. That's not what was going on, but go ahead. Are you sure? Yeah. Are you sure? Yeah, they were telling us to wear masks, and they wanted everyone to wear masks,

and it was to be our duty to wear masks, and they were saying, hey, be safe and, you know, be safe out there, but they weren't shutting things down. Pretty amazing. You know, the country was still open. Did you also see, you know, we speak about animals, and did you see the vampire parasite that pretends to be the fish tongue? Did you not see this? The vampire parasite.

Vampire parasite. It pretends to be the fish tongue, but only after eating it first. So you have this fish, has a parasite. The parasite eats the tongue of the fish, then the, becomes the fish.

The tongue of the fish. So it eats the tongue, then becomes the tongue. Yep. Okay. But on the fish. So if I catch the fish, skin it or scale it. Okay.

Cut off the head where the tongue is. Cook the fish. And then eat it. I could have the parasite. Well, I don't know. The fish that it has... It doesn't sound like that's what would happen. The fish that they have in the picture is Nemo.

So I don't think you're fishing clownfish and scaling the clown fish and eating the clownfish. No, I have not eaten the cloudfish in my life. The four centimeter long vampire invades its host through the gills. and attached to the inside of the mouth using its strong claws. It drinks the blood from the tongue, eventually draining the tongue. Yeah, which cagels it then.

Organ dies, falls off and is replaced by the parasite. And then the parasite just hangs out. Just hangs out. The tongue eating is native. So what happens to the fish? Does the parasite then eat all the stuff that the fish eats so the fish then dies and the parasite moves on?

Probably, but this is to answer. Probably. You've got the story. Okay, let me, first of all, you've thrown at me two questions, and I'm trying to answer both questions now, okay? First question, it is not thought to be dangerous to human, although the critters can bite if picked up alive. So if I catch the fish.

Yes, the clownfish. And I have it in my hand before I scale it and cut off its head and cook it and eat it. The parasite could bite me. Yes. Could the parasite go inside of my blood? No. And say like take over a finger? No.

Or take over my tongue? No. Which would be a good weight loss program, by the way. Surprisingly, to answer your second question, the parasite's grisly feeding practice does not kill the host. Instead, the fish begins to use. lous as the pseudal tongue. So,

when the parasite destroyed the tongue, the hole says, okay, now I'm going to use you as my tongue. But it has to. That is the coolest thing ever. Kind of forced into the

situation. It's still... The parasite feeds off the mucus and leftover blood from around the mouth. After, after it's After it's killed the tongue. After it's killed the tongue, it feeds from the mucus and the leftover blood around the mouth. Do we know how many fish actually have the parasite as a tongue?

We do not know that, but we do know that this is also mostly could be found in Taiwan. And in Taiwan, well, actually, sorry, I'll reverse back. We found this in the Gulf of California. Just so you know, that's not Taiwan. No, that's not Taiwan. But, um, that, so... It's close to Thailand than Taiwan, but it's not... The tongue-eating Laos, I guess we changed this name now, is native to the Gulf of California.

But if we spin the globe to Taiwan, they have a parasite flat worm that invades the eyes of the snail, turns the appendages into flashing stalks that resemble a... disco ball so now we have we have blind snails snales tongueless

just go balling around tongueless clownfish well I mean they're the the clownfish do have their tongue replaced by this parasite but it's still the tongue that mom

helped in you know when he was born, it's no longer there. They do have a tongue replica, though. They do have a tongue replica. And this is cool. The, the, the, and I want to stay with the flat, warm parasite from Taiwan that invades the eyes of the snail. Yeah.

The green bandit, also known as a big word, uses the tactic of the disco ball. They call it the big word? They call it, well, I call it the big word. They call it Leosolostrinom Paradurum Right That's the scientific term

Yes So I call it the big word But listen to this Fisher The flashing stocks That resemble a disco ball They use that to attract Nearby birds Once the birds

Eat the snail The parasite jumps to the other victim In its poop Wait repeat that again so it's the snail is flashing around saying hey look at me

I'm sexy I want your bird business yep and the bird says hey look at that hot disco ball down there look like a snail I'm going to eat that so the bird eats it yep now the parasite or the disco worm

is inside the bird yep then it eats the bird does the bird do we have disco ball eyeball birds flying around all that parasite does it goes straight Through the avian's poo. And so then the bird flies over and lands drops something on my head.

Yes. Do I have the disco ball worm now inside of me? That's where the story ends, but we should do a scientific research about the flat worm parasite found in Taiwan that invades the snail eyes, turns them into what it looks like a disco ball, then attracts a bird. The bird eats it, and it goes to the poop. Right. And then if it poops on me, now do I have it? It's possible that humans could contract this. We need a grant.

All I'm hearing is we need to do a grant study to find out what happens to the big word, aka Lusodudurum, to see what happens. All right. Well, fill out the paperwork and submit it. When the money comes in, we'll do the study from the grant. So we have to go to Taiwan, or can we just go to California? to be honest, if it's grant money, we could do it any damn where we want. They just, they give you the money.

If it's grant money, they expect you to go out and, yeah, we're going to go to Taiwan and we're going to check it out. And then we could just say we did, we won't. We'll just take the money. What's the worst can happen? We go to jail. Court adjourned.
