And now, a Blaze Media podcast.
Well, happy Monday.
How in the world are you?
Good to see you.
You look fantastic.
You know, I wanted to start out with some good news today.
I know.
I know there's bad news everywhere, and we'll get to some of it as the show progresses.
But let's start with some good news.
The elephant shrew that was considered a lost species.
more than 50 years, we figured it was gone.
History.
Caput.
The Somalia Sengai.
That looks like a mouse, but has a trunk-like nose,
well, it's still alive.
Yes, that's right.
Still alive.
Now, most of these species were all seen in Somalia.
but the new records are showing them being alive in Djibouti.
I know.
My favorite country on the east coast of Africa, Djibouti,
you know, we lovingly call it Digibouti here on the broadcast.
So I want to say, thank you, Digibouti,
for making your country available to the elephant shrew, the Somalia Singai,
because I thought climate change had killed all these animals, but no, no, still alive.
So how was your weekend?
You know, we had the big major internet outage, dozens of websites and apps were
down. I know. I know. According to the story Century Link, an internet service provider that's
supposed to keep websites up and running. Couldn't do it. Cloudfare, Hulu, PlayStation Network,
Xbox Live, Feedly, who is not Feedly, Discord, and dozens of other services.
A little connectivity issue yesterday. So, listen, they're a third-party transit provider. And
You know, it's become unstable.
But according to them, we're increasingly stable over the course of the day.
Wait, we're unstable.
And then because we couldn't connect all these sites,
then we were becoming increasingly stable over the course of the day.
Anyway, so if you had issues yesterday, that's why.
That's why.
Thank you. How else did you fare this weekend? Did you do any yard work? Did you do any housework? Did you work on the car? Or did you just stay inside because you were sore and your joints ached and you couldn't move? If that was you, that's where Relief Factor comes in. Relieffactor.com. Did you realize that over 50 million Americans missed.
work due to pain. Think of how many millions of Americans just say, you know what, I'm not going
to do the yard work today because my joints ache. My bones seem to hurt. Well, that's because
of inflammation. That's where relief factor comes in. It's got four key ingredients that each
help your body fight inflammation. It targets the underlying problem areas from four different
metabolic pathways to alleviate pain at the source.
Comes in convenient little individual packs, supports healthy joints and muscles.
Relief factor.
Relieffactor.com.
It offers a three-week quick start for only 1995.
So get your quick start for 1995 and then get your orders up and running.
You don't want to run out like, you know, maybe some of us have done in the past,
where you decided that you were feeling.
fine and then you realize the reason you were feeling fine was because of the relief factor,
but since you ran out, now you aren't feeling fine anymore.
Don't let that happen to you.
Do not let that happen to you.
Relieffactor.com.
Get that three-week quick start for only 1995 at relieffactor.com.
So I run to the store this weekend and I, you know, pull out of the neighborhood.
and as I pull up to the corner to pull out of the neighborhood,
I see a Trump sign in the yard of, well, a neighbor, you know, it's in the neighborhood.
And, you know, I wrote a store, I don't think anything of it.
I'm just kind of like, my first thought is, wow, a Trump sign.
And that's the first Trump sign I've seen in this neck of the woods.
So, you know, run to the store and, you know, I said my son.
I, you know, send the crew in to go shopping.
I'm not going in.
And, you know, they go get the stuff and we're on our way back home.
So I pull in, I come back into the neighborhood the same way.
I left because I want to be sure that was a Trump sign and it's, you know, I know what I'm seeing.
You know, I could be hallucinating.
So I pull back in and there it is.
And it's a corner house.
Okay, so it's a corner house that leads you into our name.
neighborhood and the main corner is a pretty busy road.
Okay?
So I'm thinking, that takes some guts.
That takes some guts.
I don't know that I would do that.
I don't know that I would do that.
I mean, bless their hearts, vote for Trump.
And I don't care.
I, you know, personally, I don't care.
I, you know, fine, you vote for Trump.
Yes, I agree.
And so does probably.
99% of this neighborhood.
I don't know that.
But would I put it in my yard
on a corner of a busy road
where many people going by in today's world
are going to be very unhappy
with that sign?
I know. I don't know that I would.
I don't know that I would.
American flag?
I'd probably hang the American flag
before I put a Trump sign up.
On a corner like that?
Man, good luck.
Good luck.
I don't want anything bad to happen.
I don't wish anything bad to happen.
But if there's an, you know, accidentally something bad happened to that house,
it would not surprise me.
And do I, I mean, I'm not recommending it.
I don't believe in it.
I think, I hope the person who does it, you know, is prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
But I don't know that I would put that Trump sign.
in the front yard.
And it's just a little,
you know,
like a small Trump sign,
like a little,
little,
little for sale sign.
Not the big for sale sign.
It's just one of those little old style
metal for sale sign size
that says, you know,
Trump,
Keep America Great,
2020.
And then I read a story where
this guy has a Trump sign
for a yard sign.
And his sign is a lot bigger
than the one that's in the front corner
of my neighborhood.
It's one that he gets a
It's a banner more than a Trump yard sign.
I mean, it's a Trump yard banner.
And it's on his fence.
I see a picture of it.
He's got, it looks like a rural area.
Maybe an unincorporated area of a county or something because he's got, you know,
dirt driveways leading up to his, it looks like, you know, leading up to his home.
And that's either, and then there's another road showing.
So that's either another road to another home or a road to the barns or whatever it is.
But they're dirt.
And reminds me of home when I was a little kid.
But anyway, the, and he's got the big Trump sign on the fence.
And they've got, you know, the four-foot, you know, square wire fencing that, you know, keeps animals in, keeps animals out, you know, that kind of fence.
And it's, you know, it's pretty big.
And I'm thinking, okay, well, good for you.
Well, no, the neighbors are not happy about it at all.
They sent a handwritten note, which was signed your neighbors who dare to be different.
Do you?
Do you dare to be different?
Because it doesn't sound like it, my friends.
Okay.
Dear neighbor.
And it's actually a very good pedmanship, I might add, very good pedmanship.
Dear neighbor, thank you for proudly and prominently.
displaying your signs of political support.
These symbols make it impossible for us to ignore how you truly feel about us as your neighbors.
They make abundantly clear to those of us who are women, people of color, immigrants,
and those who may worship or love differently than you,
that you simply do not care about us at all.
We know that in our times of need, if we are scared or hurting, we cannot turn to you for help because you hold no charity or grace in your heart for us.
You make it clear by these signs that you neither respect us as humans nor believe we are entitled to equal protections and rights under the laws of this great country.
You do not believe that we deserve life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness, that we are not really Americans to you, simply because we may not look like you or share your beliefs.
So again, thank you for showing us the prejudice and hate that truly fills your heart, telling us so proudly that you, although you may be our neighbor, we are not equally yours.
sincerely, your neighbors who dare to be different.
P.S.
If you believe yourself to be a Christian,
in parentheses, which we assume is also likely,
thank you for further proving that you do not hold true Christian values
or follow the teachings of Christ
who preached love and acceptance for all your neighbors.
We sure hope you enjoy the heat, exclamation point.
Now, if that's real, you know, I read it out loud and I think it just doesn't seem real that that actually would happen over a Trump Keep America great 2020 sign slash banner.
But okay.
If that's real, man, we are in trouble.
We are in trouble.
I don't know what you do.
I don't know what you do.
Do you take it down?
Do you, if you take it down, it'll never be enough, right?
It'll never be enough.
Now, they claim that this place of residence is inhabited by a first in her family to be born in America.
both of her parents came over from Mexico,
went through the process to become legal citizens.
They love America and all that it stands for.
All proud Trump supporters.
What's worse?
She's a very successful single mother of three boys.
Whoever wrote this probably has kids that go to school with her boys.
It's just sad.
And now she's concerned for her boys will get her rest.
See, I don't know that.
I believe, and now I believe that.
If the letter is real.
If you believe that the letter is real.
letter is real, then you got to believe how the family feels, right? I don't know that the letter is real.
It seems like it's a little too perfect with the hate. It's a little bit too perfect with the hate. But, you know, it certainly could be. It certainly could be. I mean, I like the letter idea better than, you know, the bricks through the front door.
I like the letter idea rather than, you know, burning the sign down and, you know,
ripping the property apart, destroying property.
I like that.
But incredible.
We are in a very, very, very, very bad place.
I mean, you better be sorry that you're white, first of all.
Oh, this person isn't white?
She's Mexican.
Yeah, according to the story.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg of the place that we're in.
at why does it have to be a tip of an iceberg well it's just a saying it doesn't it's because of the tip
and then there's a whole lot more underneath it oh okay aren't icebergs white no not all
they're ice anyway uh we are in a bad place i'm you know we talked about it before on the show
about being uh you better be you better be mad about being white if you're listening to this podcast and
You're white, you better hate yourself.
I'm sick of you liking yourself.
Okay?
If you're white, I want you to hate yourself.
I not only want you to hate yourself,
I want you to realize that because you're white, you're racist,
and you benefit from the structure of racism, period.
Um, actually, I don't want you to do that.
And actually, I think it's silly.
But don't forget, this all started with,
the great media maven Oprah Winfrey,
who encouraged all white people to admit that they're racist in her interview.
In fact, I talked about this on a stew show when I was on Stu's show last week or the week before,
or whatever the heck I was on his show.
And now we have Michelle Obama telling us that whites don't acknowledge non-whites exist.
Or they see them as a threat, really,
shell really and she goes on to tell a story about going in to get ice cream with their daughters
and she's standing in line this is her story she's standing in line in fact i'll read it from
her words okay okay yes just so you know that uh just so you know how it goes okay
she's being interviewed on her little podcast
and she says, this is when I was first lady.
I'm Michelle Obama, the first lady of the United States of America.
And we had just finished taking the girls to a soccer game.
We were stopping to get ice cream.
And I told the Secret Service to stand back because we were trying to be normal, trying to go in.
And then she's asked, it was Hockendaz, wasn't it?
Yes, of course it was exactly.
Now, according to Michelle, there was a line.
And once again, when I am just a blanche.
black woman, I noticed that a white woman, don't even see me. They're not even looking at me.
So I'm standing there with two little black girls and another black female adult. So you're in line
at an ice cream place. People are in line to get ice cream. Are we supposed to, hey, how you do?
I mean, I do a lot of times. You recognize other humans in line, which happens less and less
thanks to, you know, the lockdown and everybody wearing masks and social distancing. But in those days,
if you were in line, you may turn around and go,
hey, how'd your girls do?
If they're still in their soccer uniforms,
you might ask how they do.
But I can well, see how you wouldn't.
You would, you know, you're in line to get ice cream.
You're not in line to chit-chat.
But I get it.
I get it.
So let's just say that, for instance, people weren't nice.
Okay.
All right.
So people aren't nice at the Hagadas ice cream store.
All right.
That's fine.
So she claims that I'm standing there with,
you know, two little black girls, you know, just the first lady and the two first kids.
Be a normal.
A white woman cuts in front of us to order.
Now, it's like she didn't even see us.
Boy, it's a good thing that doesn't happen to other people ever.
Because it does, Michelle, I got news for you.
Okay.
Welcome to the real world.
If you want to be normal like you said you do.
Oh, we were just trying to be normal.
Guess what?
That happens.
People cut in front of other people, and you either have to let it happen, or you say,
ah, it was my turn.
Excuse me, I'm before you.
Or you hope that the cashier or the ice cream dipper says, nope, she's next.
Now, according to Michelle, she said the woman cut in front of her, like she didn't even see us,
and the girl behind the counter almost took her order.
And I stand up and say, you know, then I stand up and said, excuse me,
you don't see us four people standing right here?
You just jumped in line.
She didn't apologize.
She never looked me in the eyes.
She didn't know it was me.
All she saw was a black person or a black people.
Maybe didn't even see that we was because we were invisible.
No, it was because this person only cares about themselves, Michelle.
That happens every day in America in every type of business.
It's not because you're invisible as a black lady with your daughters.
It was because that person believes that they are more self-important than anyone else.
And they just come in and you were standing there and she's just going to cut in line and get what she wants and move on.
Okay?
You wanted to be normal.
Welcome to it, Michelle.
welcome to it.
But we're supposed to believe
that that's because of your
systemic racism and white people don't
acknowledge black people exist.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
No problem.
Oprah would certainly agree with you.
I know you and her are buds.
No problem.
I know that the college director
from Pacific University in Oregon
would agree with you.
Who said every white person
in this country is racist?
Oh.
Really?
That's right.
Yeah.
Every white person in the U.S. is racist because they benefit from the structure of racism.
I mean, that's what Oprah said.
That's what Oprah wants us to believe.
She said it a long time ago, you know, in her, and I say a long time ago.
Okay, this has been hit heavy in the last month.
Right.
I mean, we've been delused with it in the last month.
thanks to the 1619 project,
thanks to the author,
What's Your Face?
Isabel Wilkerson,
who wrote cast that Oprah was so just glowing about
that everybody has to read.
And that's part of her book club.
Everybody loves that we have to read that.
So, you know, now we have,
now a month later, we have college directors
saying every white person in the U.S. is racist because of the structure of race.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Now, this college professor or director wants you to know that there are three indicators of white supremacy culture.
Oh, okay.
Well, what are those three indicators of white supremacy culture?
Hmm.
Let's see what those are.
Perfectionism, which she called the need to get things done right all the time.
The sense of urgency, which she called the idea that things should have been done yesterday.
And quantity over quality, which she said is only focusing on parts of your life that are directed toward producing measurable goals.
So those are your three.
three indicators of white supremacy culture.
So, like I said, I want you to hate yourself because you're white.
Okay.
Now, you can go on and she is, she's got some other webinars that look.
I mean, I want to sit through them all.
You've got, you know, this one, of course, white supremacy, war culture.
You've got the racial microaggressions.
You've got the POC label.
And you've got deconstructing the model minority stereotype.
All sound just riveting because we're supposed to hate ourselves for being white.
We have universities, Laola University in Maryland,
formed a white accountability group for faculty, staff, and administrators.
The group is for white and white passing folks in Loyola community.
Loyola released promotional video ahead of its first session on September.
fourth, the white accountability group.
And I would play the little promo for you,
except that it's seven minutes long.
No, thank you.
Now, it does say that one person named JP said any of his achievements,
or my achievements.
I don't know if JP is male or female.
Sorry, I don't know what JP identifies as.
JP said any of my achievements,
anything I have earned is inauthentia.
then give them up.
And what are you doing?
If you believe it, give it up.
But no, you're going to continue to work for Loyola because you want the paycheck.
And you want to, you know, count on those achievements that you consider inauthent.
Oh, sure, they're, I mean, they're authentic enough for me to get a paycheck and be considered a professor at a university.
But not authentic enough for me to have responsibility and say what I earned is mine.
No, it can't have that.
one woman who is a Latina, according to the story,
pointed out that she passes as white, straight, and native born.
Do you? Do you pass as that?
I can't take it anymore.
I just can't.
And I'm going to go back to how I started it.
I want you, if you're listening to this podcast,
if you're listening to this show and you're white,
I want you to hate yourself because that's what they want.
I don't want you to hate yourself.
I don't want you to believe in the three indicators of white supremacy.
I want you to believe in individual freedom, but go ahead, hate yourself,
and go ahead and believe that any of your achievements is inauthentic.
Sad.
Well, before we go to the break room, we've got breaking news, so let's do the breaking news.
A sounder, of course, means there's breaking news because when CTF records, news happens.
Let's go to our man on the street, Jeffie, who is reporting live from the...
coronavirus headquarters, wherever that is.
Jeffie here on the streets.
What's the report?
Thank you very much, Jeff.
I'm coming to you live from the coronavirus headquarters.
That's correct.
We've got breaking news.
We have just broken the 6 million numbers of cases in the United States of America.
Now, sure, some of the other coronavirus charts and tote boards had us over 6 million already
by almost 6,083,000, but not the Johns Hopkins,
who just broke us over 6,6,615.
And we just broke the death numbers.
Very sad news in this breaking news update,
where 183,203 deaths to coronavirus in the United States.
Now, sure, sure we've got news.
today that the CDC has redone their numbers, and they say that 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause.
The other deaths were all in addition to COVID-19.
So there is that to be concerned about.
But anyway, I just wanted to give you the breaking news, Jeff, that here on the street,
no matter what chart you're looking at, now, the United States has passed six million cases.
of coronavirus.
Back to you.
Let's go to the break room.
I need a...
I desperately need a drink.
I'll tell you that.
Oh my gosh.
So good.

to my youtube channel yeah i know chewing the fat with jeff fisher as well okay so just subscribe to
that as well i was uh i see where elijah shafer host of uh blaze tv's a slightly offensive uh post
a sign that AMC had posted at the movie theaters
that said your mask must cover your nose and mouth
and fit snugly around your face and chin.
Neck gaiters, open chin bandanas,
and masks with vents or exhalation valves
are not acceptable at this time
based on world health organization guidelines.
Masks are available if needed.
So now it's not only wear a mask,
mask. It's wear a specific mask. This is agonizing. This mask thing is out of control. And that brings us
back to my YouTube channel. I did a segment when I filled in for Steve Day's last week. And it was all
about masks and wear a mask or else. And speaking of my theory on Stockholm Syndrome, I talked to a
psychiatrist on the show. So you can subscribe to my YouTube channel and then you can listen to that
particular segment as well. Plus there's a new segment that I started. It's going to be a reoccurring

And YouTube channel, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
Both of them are the same name.
That's weird how that happens, isn't it?
Now, I wanted to also say, as long as we're in the break room and I, you know, tried to do maybe
celebrities during the break room, I wanted to say rest in peace to Chadwick Bosb.
just incredible news that he passed away on Friday at the age of 43.
He had a four-year fight with colon cancer.
I was just amazing to hear the news.
And to hear that he was filming these movies, the recent movies,
while undergoing this cancer battle is just amazing.
And it was such sad news.
It was really sad news.
And I was very sad to hear it.
And according to, you know, even Twitter was saying that it was the most like tweet,
the tweet that was from his account telling everyone that he had passed away.
I mean, it's just sad.
It's just really sad.
And incredibly brave that this man did all this work and created such a history at only the age of 43
and fighting cancer at the same time.
You know, just incredible.
just, you know, rest in peace and, you know, the prayers are with the family.
No question.
And just sad news, that's all.
It's not breaking news.
It's just sad news.
All right.
Did you see where, you know, I guess we could just call it incest in the time of COVID?
I know.
I know.
But who knew that it was against the law?
Who am I?
knew that it was against the law.
I certainly, I thought we were good with it.
We're good with everything else.
How can we be against incest?
But, okay.
So a Massachusetts mom and son have been charged with incest.
Now, according to Massachusetts law,
they can face up to 21 years.
They can't face more than 20.
21 and two years.
Oh, okay, well, that's good.
That's good.
So 20 years plus.
Just figure on 20 years plus.
Just incredible.
So the wife catches her husband and her mother-in-law, the mom, on the couch.
Okay.
I mean, I, ooh, okay, ooh, okay.
So she calls 911.
I don't know. Do you call 911 if you catch hubby and mom doing it on the couch?
Do you call 911 if you get hubby with anybody on the couch?
I mean, don't you just go crazy and lose your mind?
Do you call 911?
I don't know.
I don't know.
So the guy, the son is 43, the man, the female is 63, the mom.
She calls 911.
And she also called a cousin because she was at the scene too when the cops showed up.
she called 911 and then she called her cousin.
That's what I would say. The cousin should have been called and not 911, but okay.
All right.
So she calls 911 and the police show up.
And, you know, they admit to it.
They admit to it.
The mom and son assured the authorities.
This was the first time.
It's the first time.
And the wife said she'd long suspected something decidedly lewd was going on
down between her husband and mother.
I suspect that they were up to something.
And this is the first time I caught them.
But according to mom and son, that was it.
That was the first time.
All right.
And the officer said, the mother said it was the first time.
She said to have responded that they had gotten closer and
recent months, I mean, lockdown. And it just happened. It just happened. You know, things just
happened like that. Okay. All right. I love the, uh, uh, she told the officer that she and her son
got caught by Lori and, uh, she was on top and, you know, asked if her son suffered from any
mental illness. And she said, she was not sure about her son suffering for mental illness. But,
But he did fall off a ladder at one point in his life.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
That's it then.
That's it then.
He did.
That's why.
I don't know.
I don't know if he's, you know, off kilter a little bit, but he did fall off a ladder at one point in his life.
So, now they're free.
They're out.
They went before the judge.
They were then released.
And the judge said, hey, you two.
stay away from each other.
So you got it?
You two stay away from each other.
I mean, wow, 20 years in prison for that?
That's amazing, right?
Incessuous marriage or sexual activities
in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts law.
Persons within degrees of consensualualy
within which marriages are prohibited or declared by law to be incestuous and void who
intermarry or have sexual?
What is all that?
Including not limited to?
I don't want to read all that.
Object to the openings of another person.
I don't want to read any of that.
Manual manipulation of the, no, I don't want to read any of that.
Shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than 20 years.
or in the House of Correction
for not more than
21 slash 2 years.
Sue, maybe that's 21
and a half years.
I don't know. I mean,
wow. In today's world,
got to believe. Come on now.
COVID-19, you're in lockdown.
What are you supposed to do?
Say, no, mom, get off me.
Just kind of,
just kind of icky, right?
I mean, it's just kind of icky.
We can make all the jokes we want,
but in real life,
do thank you.
All right, we've got time for some headlines,
and then I'll tell you, coming up on the podcast,
we have,
we've got an email that leads us to a million-dollar idea,
and we have a new chart
on marriage and togetherness.
And how many times married couples are together?
No, not son and daughter,
not brother and sister,
not sister and sister, not brother and brother,
not dad and daughter,
not dad and son,
but husband and wife,
we have that as well.
But just a few headlines here.
Mark Zuckerberg said that Facebook made a mistake
in not removing a militia group's Facebook page
that encourage citizens to take
up arms and defend the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin. Yeah, it was a mistake. Okay, thanks, Mark.
Appreciate it. We've got Christopher Noah's tenant made $53 million overseas while the new mutants
brought in an, now according to this headline, an encouraging seven million domestically.
I don't know how that's encouraging, but okay, I guess that's encouraging because the movie
theaters are open, even with their stupid mask signs.
AMC?
I mean, I get, you want us to wear masks and now you're going to dictate what type of mask.
Come on now.
Home sales in NYC suburbs jumped 44% in July over last year.
Yeah, did you see the videos of standing in line at U-Haul centers?
I don't know that they're all accurate or true, but if they are, that is incredible.
I mean, you've got to be, it's got to be deafening in New York having those trucks back up to alleyways and in front of buildings.
Because, wow, people are leaving the city.
And I wonder why that is.
I wonder why that is.
I don't know.
Maybe you can think of something why people would want to leave the city.
Warren Buffett celebrated his 90th birthday this weekend.
You know who else celebrated their 90th birthday?
Sean Connery.
So two pretty hip and cool guys, Sean Connery and Warren Buffett, both 90 years of age this weekend.
Happy birthday.
Happy freaking birthday.
And I love the little Bill Gates making a cake for Warren celebration on his social media accounts.
It was just darn cute.
It was just darn cute.
And thank you.
Thank you.
We appreciate it, Bill.

Cancelling its lease on a 490,000 square foot office base in San Francisco.
Huh.
Wonder why they're leaving San Francisco.
Not only are they leaving San Francisco because of COVID and realizing that maybe we don't need this big office space.
Most of our people can, I don't know, work from a home.
or I don't know, we need a smaller space to bring people in when we need them to come in.
We don't need 490,000 square feet in the godawful city of San Francisco.
Now, maybe they stay in San Francisco.
I don't know.
Maybe it is just about the office space.
It's costing them, get this, to get out of the lease.
This is how much they want to get out of this lease.
89.5 million bucks.
Termination fee.
Wow.
That's how bad they want to get out of that lease.
Wow.
Okay.
Okay.
They are in love with San Francisco.
Or maybe they're not in love with San Francisco or the building at all anymore.
Almost 90 million to get out of the lease.
Okay.
Talk to you later.
Bye.

All right.
Welcome to the podcast.
So I've gotten a couple of questions asking me,
where's Chris?
So I'll just answer you.
Where is Chris?
I don't know.
Do you good with that?
Because there you have it.
I don't know.
I know he's busy.
And he's busy doing whatever he's doing.
That's all I know.
There you have it.
So I got an email, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com,
that led me to a million-dollar idea.
the email reads this way.
Due to my employment,
I can't publicly raise an issue.
Well, you know, I better not tell you that his name is William B.
Oh, I mean, never mind.
We can beep that out.
Apparently, this person is really pissed.
All right, they're taking away his soda.
Now, I read this and I'm thinking,
well, this is still, this is going on already across America.
I mean, I'm really surprised that this just now is happening in
Las Vegas and or Nevada.
Now, according to this person, they're taking away a soda.
And I can well understand how this could be the final straw.
Got it?
So this person who will remain nameless, I think lives in Nevada or drives through Vegas once in a while.
but he now knows, I mean, she knows,
and the person knows,
that they're shutting down fountain drinks at gas stations now.
I, that's been going on.
Now, for quite some time,
at least it was here in this neck of the wood,
so maybe I thought that was happening all over the country.
There's no executive order that he could find,
but according to cashiers,
they've said people from the government
began going to stations and forcing,
the stations to put up a notice stating that due to COVID, we could no longer get fountain drinks.
If I go into a gas station with a mask and socially distance, how in the hell does getting a
fountain drink raise my chances of getting COVID? Our casinos and gyms are opening up while our churches
and schools are closed. None of this makes sense. I have tried to be patient with this is absolutely
ridiculous. Agreed, William B. I mean, um, the person.
that's going to remain anonymous?
Agreed.
But it got me thinking, as I read this,
and it got me thinking that this is a possible
billion-dollar idea for anyone.
Okay?
And I'll, you know, if I don't say that my wife was the first to bring it up,
then she'll be, I mean, I'm the one that's on it.
I'm the one that's on of it.
Well, kind of.
I mean, so my, her idea is for the business,
to set up, you know, fountain drinks outside.
So it would be a drive-up fountain service.
I'm all for that.
I'd say we just do the fountain drink trucks.
Right?
You have the, we've got the food trucks every damn where.
Why not just have the fountain drink trucks?
Just pull up, you buy a cup,
and you fill up your cup with the fountain drink,
ice and fountain drink, and you drive away.
Right?
You got a person sitting out there under the umbrella
with all the cups and you pull up and you say you want a large,
which everyone's going to want a large.
But, you know, you have other sizes available, of course.
And you, they drive up and they put their ice in and they fill up their sodas.
And off they go, off into the merry blue yonder,
million dollar idea.
So you are welcome.
I agree that I think it's god-awful silly.
I mean, we're closing up.
We're telling people they can't go to church, but they can go to casinos.
You can't go to church, but you can go to protests.
You can go to peaceful protests.
We can't vote, but you can go to protest.
You can march down streets, but you can't vote.
I don't understand.
It doesn't make any sense, but so many things in today's world don't make sense at all.
So, I mean, I know.
I'm with you, William B.
I mean, person that's anonymous that wants to remain anonymous
and that emailed me under the anonymous sign.
So I was fascinated with a study, a general social survey from 2018,
that has data on about 660 married people
who shared details about how often they had sex in the past year.
And I found it fascinating because I would like to see a new study of the, you know,
lockdown survey because this is 2018.
And it also mentions another multi-year study of 35,000 British people that was published in 2019.
This particular survey, 2018, surveyed 660 people, as I said,
and they shared details on how often the married couples had sex.
in the past year.
25% had sex once a week.
And the reason this is fascinating to me,
I'm just,
you know,
everybody is going to hear this and go,
let's not me or I'm better than that.
So I want you to feel good about yourself, okay?
That's why I'm doing this,
so you feel good about yourself.
I know,
you're welcome.
25% had sex once a week.
16% of you had sex two to three times per week.
5% had sex four or more times per week.
17% had sex once a month.
19% had sex two to three times a month.
10% hadn't had sex in the past year.
7% had sex about once or twice in the past year.
Notice how I'm not being judgmental on any of these.
I'm just giving you the facts because some of them I want to be judgmental and say,
what are you doing?
But I'm not.
I'm not being judgmental at all.
I'm just giving you the facts.
The other study that I mentioned, the 35,000 British people that was published in 2019
found that about half of the people in serious relationships, so this wasn't even being married.
This was just serious relationships.
have sex less than once a week.
Wow.
In 2013, AARP reported that in a study of over 8,000 people over 50,
31% of couples have sex a few times a week.
28% of couples have sex a few times a month.
8% of couples have sex once a month.
33% of the couples rarely or.
never have sex.
Among the people in their 70s,
a 2015 study
published in the archives
of sexual behavior.
Who doesn't read
the archives of sexual behavior
found 33% of sexually active men
and 36%
of sexually active women
had sex at least twice a month.
So let's see, I've got to get this right.
So above, in their 70s,
33% of sexually active men.
Okay, so of all the sexually active men
in their 70s,
33% of them and 36% of the women
had sex at least twice a month.
That's a weird numbers.
I'd like to see the actual numbers for that,
how they break that down.
So anyway, there you have it.
Happy Monday.
Happy, happy Monday.
There's so much more,
I mean, I don't know what,
I could go on and on today.
I wanted to do this silly
silly little sex study.
I mean, don't forget.
I mean, we could talk about Ellen again.
I mean, she's in the news every day.
She's done.
I already told you that.
She's done.
And if you go to my YouTube channel,
my microwave minute is on Ellen
and why I think she should be in jail.
She's just a horrible person.
Not really.
I think it's silly, but she's done.
And then what's funny about this weekend
is I see the story on Ellen.
Ellen DeGeneres,
wokeness eating itself.
Yeah, I mean, any story that will bring her down is what we're printing.
But then right after that, I see a story on who I think is going to take her place.
And I already told you that, Drew Barrymore.
And the story is on Drew Barrymore saying that she will never forgive herself for drinking
too much on an interview she did a couple of years ago.
So she's already apologizing for drinking,
too much on a show that she did an interview on because she knows that she's going to get that.
She's got that new talk show coming out.
And don't forget, I mean, even in this story, even in this story, it talks about, you know,
her new talk show is set to premiere September 14th on CBS.
Huh.
I mean, we're still a few weeks away from that premiere.
So, I mean, that's good deal.
you know, Drew Barrymore's show is optimism, TV, bringing information, inspiration,
entertainment to daytime audience, celebrating every part of humanity along the way.
I thought that's what Ellen was.
I guess not.
And I already told you that Drew Barrymore is going to be the new Ellen, and Ellen is out.
Ellen thought she could go up against the Barrymore's, the Hollywood Barrymore's.
Think again, Ellen.
Think again.
You're losing against the Barrymore kings of Hollywood.
I know.
You heard it here first.
When this happens, and people are like, oh my gosh, I can't believe that happened.
You could say, I heard it on chewing the fat first.
I heard it on the news.
And I said, that's ridiculous, man.
That's it.
