And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Hello and welcome to tuning the fat. How in the world are you? You look marvelous. Coming off that long weekend after that long lockdown, after that long time away from people, the holiday weekend. People around about,

but we also found this news that I find is a little, little troubling. The moon is rusting. I know. I know. That's what I said. What? The moon is rusting?

Yeah. Apparently there's water on the poles of the moon and it's rusting. And, you know, I don't know if there's Bondo that we can send up to the moon and just Bondo that bad boy, so you can't tell. But apparently the mineral Hamaddi, Hamadite, H-E-M-A-T-I-T-E, F-E-203, according to the study, the oxidizing process has been speculated to operate on the lunar surface and form ferric iron bearing minerals, unambiguous detections of ferric minerals forming under highly reducing conditions on the moon have remained elusive but our analysis of the moon mineralogy mapper data show that how about i

a ferric mineral is present at high latitudes on the moon okay so be on the lookout for pieces flying off the moon, zipping around. You don't want none of that. You don't want the moon rust pieces falling off. So we've got to do something. Something has to be done. I mean, that's a million dollar idea.

We'll produce a little NASA planet Bondo. And maybe we could then use it back here on Earth. But first, first, we've got to get Elon. to ship a couple of rockets up to the moon so we can put that bando on and stop the moon from rusting and what happens if it russes out altogether and we just got to put it in the planet junkyard nobody wants to do that i mean no one wants to get thrown into the junkyard right and that's uh i mean that's what happened to me i started to rust and i realized man i need something for the rust

you know the pain, you know the inflammation, you know the limping around, the lifting of the shoulder, the squeezing of things with your fingers that hurt. Well, I found a fix, or at least a helpful fix. ReliefFactor.com So, Relief Factor targets the underlying problems from four different metabolic pathways. to alleviate the pain at the source.

Let's go. So if you've listened to me or this show long enough, you know that I've always wanted to own a Guinness Book of World Record. A record. You know, I want to hold a Guinness record of something. I have a couple of ideas that, you know, we've talked about before. This particular record, I don't think I want. The Austrian man beat his own record.

He already held it. So he decided, hey, I'm going to beat my own record. I guess I understand that. The record is for the longest full body contact with ice cubes. I mean, I like a cold. I like a cold. I don't know that I want to get into this. giant custom-made glass box filled up to his shoulders with ice cubes.

440 pounds of ice cubes were needed to fill up the box. After he stepped inside wearing nothing but swim trunks, that's some serious shrinkage. I mean being cold in that box. Just amazing. So he fills it up, right? he claims in order to fight the wave of pain caused by the freezing temperatures he tries to focus on positive emotions oh isn't that special i focus on positive emotions and that means i can sit in this box of ice cubes 440 pounds of ice cubes for two hours 30 minutes and 57 seconds.

No thank you. No, thank you. He says I'm fighting the pain by visualizing and drawing on positive emotions so I can dampen this wave of pain. That way I can endure. He beat his own record from last year. by 30 minutes.

So last year, he could only do it for two hours. This year, after doing it for two hours, he realized, oh, all I have to do is, you know, visualize and draw on more positive emotions, and I could go for longer. And he did. He went for another 30 minutes. So he has the Guinness Book of World Records.

And he's in the book for the longest, full body contact with ice cubes two hours and 30 minutes and 57 seconds you want to make sure to get the 57 seconds you don't want to short change him as he's probably been shorted up enough with that shrinkage issue

this is so cold he's planning to beat this record one more time this next year he's coming to los Angeles yeah good luck getting in and they're still letting people in from another country to set records into California. But, you know, that'd be exciting. I'm willing to, you know, let them do it here in Texas.

Come on, call me. Joseph Coberl, call me. You come on over from Austria and we'll set you up here at Mercury Studios and we'll let her fly. All right, Joseph Coberle. Congratulations. Congratulations. All right, I got a new email scam that apparently is now the new, the new way to get me.

And they could have, but there's no amount. Remember, you know, I get the scams, I'm sorry, the opportunity to make a lot of money by helping other people in other parts of the country. Like, you know, I get the emails from Riem E.L. Hashini. She is always after me. She changes her position. from time to time, but the last time was 30% of $47,745,5333. Okay.

And she was just waiting my instruction for further transfer to a destination. Now, that's kind of exciting. I mean, that gives me an amount that I can look forward to. But then I got a new email that is attention beneficiary. Be informed that while. auditing the second quarter of overdue payment list to approved beneficiaries in our records as compiled and approved by the World Bank to cushion the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on people for some reason have not received their funds from different financial institutions.

I mean, I'm almost hooked already. I'm almost ready to reply. Your email ID is found to be among the list of unpaid beneficiaries. Nice. I'm a fan. However, oh no. We received an email message from one Mrs. Nancy Ennis, Ennis, in parentheses, who claims to be your next of kin with authority to receive your payment after several attempts were made to

reach you. So I don't know who this Nancy Innes is, but I'm already angry at her for trying to say that she could be me. I've authorized her to take payments for me. All right. So I'm still kind of iffy on whether I'm going to reply. There has not been an amount yet listed to what's available to me. She has submitted her information to receive your payment, which has been credited to an ATM debit card. We decided to make this last contact with you. That's so nice of them. Thank you.

We decided to make this last contact with you to verify the authenticity of Ms. Nancy Enis' claim on your behalf. See, they're questioning it. They even question the authenticity, but they have to go with it if I don't respond. If you did not authorize her to receive your payment, we advised you to contact the ATM counselor office, David Kirshner, on, and they gave me a Gmail address,

WBC.d.d.c.d.kirshner at gmail.com immediately with your information for the delivery of your ATM debit card. Information required from you are your full name, contact address, mobile phone, your document of personal identification. Yours sincerely, David Kersner, ATM counselor office, World Bank Counselor Office. That is so, so nice of them. Wow. I really means a lot to me that they would reach out to me like that because they're questioning the authenticity of this Miss Nancy Enos who is out there saying that she is my next to Ken and has authority to receive payment, which she does not. So I almost, you know, I'm ready to reply. There's no amount, though. See, if they threw in an amount, I might, it might draw me more into reply. Like if they said, we received an email message

from one Miss Nancy Annis, who claims to be your ex of Ken with authority to receive your payment of $822 billion. We tried to, we attempted to, attempts were made to reach you and failed. Something is something along those lines. But with no amount and just a basic, hey, send me your information and you're going to get an ATM card for monies owed because I'm on a payment list to be to approved beneficiaries from the World Bank. I mean, that's kind of cool. But no. So be on the lookout for that coming to your email very, very soon. My first reaction for you, you can act for yourself.

That's the funny thing you're able to think for yourself. So you go ahead. You do what you want to do. My advice would be to not reply to that. I know. I know. If they gave me a mount, like if they said, Hey, Jeff.

be on the lookout though i mean i'm just here to help you out okay okay the horse race, right? The Kentucky Derby, really strange, not seeing anyone there for the Kentucky Derby. It's a huge event. In fact, it's a, I mean, it's a, it's a huge event, not just race day, but beyond that. That just happened nothing. It just seems so weird. We've got to get our lives back. Then there was the, you know, they had the big, the big thing of the person, the horse that was supposed to win, didn't win, tis the law. And then the winner went to the winter circle and started knocking people over and running around crazy.

It was just another strange event that happened. And then we had tennis, right, where the head guy in the world hits a ball back to the wall and hits one of the line judges in the neck. And she goes down. Thankfully, she's okay. But it hit her in the neck. So obviously, anytime you get hit with a tennis ball flying into your

Adams apple or your neck, you're going to go down. It hurts. and so they rushed over and, you know, tried to, she was fine and she is fine now. And thankfully, but it was an accident. So, you know, maybe you warn the guy and you find him. Nope, kicked out. Have a nice day.

You forfeit everything. Sure you were in the lead of the U.S. Open. Sure you're the best in the world. Have a nice day. Oh. Okay. So our rules and rules. That's it.

There's no common sense. Sorry. Sure, there's common sense when other players break rackets and throw stuff around. But when you accidentally hit a tennis ball and it hits someone in the neck and they're fine afterward, we've got to kick you out. It's really weird. I didn't understand the, put the hammer down. But they did.

Put the hammer down hard. Then we had the baseball. I'll still play. They're still playing baseball. I know. Really weird. And they've got the cardboard cutouts behind the players. And then the rest of the stadium is empty.

Really weird. But they're still playing. And it's, you know, if you like baseball, good to watch. And I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did, but, you know, I get hooked in because I do like baseball. So whenever I, and I don't go out of my way to watch it, but when I do, I like watching it. And I've played baseball for years and, you know, I love the game. I understand it. But there was a big to do on social media because an umpire kicked a general manager out of the game in the Atlanta game this weekend.

and the original video and tweet was saying that he kicked the general manager out because he wasn't wearing a mask. Now the general manager is up on the third deck of this stadium. Nobody around him and he's not wearing a mask. There were pictures of him with a mask on up there. Like, I don't know, when he first arrived or whatever. And then he's up there by himself. He gets to take it off. I'm guessing you people on the field are safe from him.

That was the original. He gets kicked out of the game for not wearing it. a mask. Well, if that's true, that's not what the outcome was because the outcome said that he got kicked out because he was hollering, you know, arguing balls and strikes. Really strange that you could hear him. I guess you could hear him from up there because there's no fans in the stadium, but really strange that an umpire, you know, stops the play and kick somebody out that's up in the third deck in a suite. It's a general manager for hollering. you know, arguing balls and strikes,

hollering down on the field. It's just really weird. And then it was reported that the empire said, I don't care, it was Trump. You don't argue balls and strikes. I'd kick them out of the game. I'd still vote for him, but I'd kick him out of the game.

Well, I mean, if that's true, that he can no longer umpire. If he would vote for Donald Trump, he can't be an umpire in baseball. That's out of the question. And then we had college football. Last night was really good to have back. Wow.

I mean, it was good to have college football back. Really strange with no crowd. I don't know how much I can handle the no people in the stadium thing. And hopefully, this will drive the fans crazy enough to complain and, you know, put up a fuss that, hey, we want to go to these games. We need to be at these games. Let us go to these games. And they'll, you know, let people in to watch the games.

That would be a wonderful thing. Then I got started down a rabbit hole for some reason as I'm looking up this umpire who kicked the general manager out of the game. And I, you know, again, you know, the original story was that he kicked the guy out of the game for not wearing a mask. So I couldn't believe that this was going on. So I, you know, I started searching around. I want to find out if Major League Baseball commented, I want to find out what the real story is. And so I start searching around.

And I see a story. on Ron Luciano. Now, I know you don't know who Ron Luciano is, but he was a Major League umpire. I remember Ron Luciano as a Major League umpire because he was really a crazy umpire. He was the first umpire that would jump up and down and call people out and scream and holler on the,

at the plate. He had his big antics behind the plate striking people out. And, you know, he was great. I mean, he really made the umpire. stand out instead of just being the umpire which you know is debatable whether you like that or not right and he was part of their i mean he really helped the umpires uh throughout the years in their unions because he believed that they deserved more than what they were getting and you know uh you tend when you hear the arguments that he had you tend to agree so i start going down the ron luciano

uh rabbit hole i don't know why his umpires ron lucy's ron lusciano umpires ron lucy He's the top guy, so he comes up and I start reading about him. And I start reading about this great life, this guy, this umpire who played college football. He's this big guy, 6-4, heavyset guy. I mean, that's what made him so larger than life on the baseball field, too, as an umpire, right? He's just big guy out there yelling and screaming and going through antics of calling people out and safe at the plate and safe at the bases. It was just, you know, fun to watch.

So apparently he's this all-American football. ball player gets drafted, gets injured, never really does well in the NFL, but because of his injuries and then he was gone, right? So then he becomes an umpire in Florida and he gets promoted and pretty soon he's doing Major League Baseball and he just, and he retired in 1980. I didn't, you know, I knew when I, in those days and I watched baseball and you know who Ron Luciano with. So, you know, I find, I see he's great and he wrote and then he's, you know, you know, He became his umpire. It became, you know, this flamboyant guy out on the field.

And he said he used to talk to the players when they would come up. He was one of the first guys that would talk to the players when they would come up to the plate. And he told the story here about Carl Yaskrimski who played for Boston. And he said, before I could say a word to him coming up to the plate, he looked at me and said, listen, Ronnie, my kid is hitting 300. My wife is fine. I haven't heard any new jokes, and I don't want to know about Polish restaurants. I'm nothing for 15.

I want you to keep your mouth shut. And Luciano said, what can I say? And on the second pitch, he hit a home run. And as he crossed home plate, he looked at me and nodded and said, okay, you can talk to me now. I mean, that's good stuff. Those are great stories, great baseball stories. And so then, you know, it talks about his life after and how he became an announcer. and he wrote these books, and it goes on and on.

I've doubt this rabbit hole, this Ron Luciano rabbit hole. And then at the very end, oh yeah, he was found dead in his garage. What? I'm so sad. I've been sad for all, you know, for the last day because of Ron Luciano committed suicide. I was so sad. This guy who had this great life or what appeared to be a great life, then ends up taking his own life in his garage,

there's carbon monoxide poisoning? I guess, you know, he suffered from depression for years. He was hospitalized the year before he died in 1995. And, you know, who knows what's going through the guy's mind? But, I mean, it was just, I couldn't believe it. Seriously, I couldn't believe it. This guy that was larger than life and did all these great things for other people and did things that made people, you know, smile and react.

well all over the, you know, all over the world, these baseball games. And then he was an announcer at baseball games week, all this stuff, wrote books, who's wanted to be on TV, all this stuff. And then he's so depressed that at the age of 57, he takes his own life, it's so sad. It's so sad. If you are struggling with depression or anything that makes you think about suicide, please don't. Please don't. I'm going to...

I mean, talk to someone who can help. Right? I mean, the suicide prevention lifeline is 1-800-273-8-2-55. 1-800-273-8-2-55. If you need help, get help. Because just... What seems like it's going to make it better, that suicide doesn't make it better. I mean, you just, all the people around you, your loved ones, it's just, don't do it.

Don't do it. Get help. Okay? And the suicide, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 24 hours a day, English and Spanish, 1-800-273-8-2-5. please all right let's go to the break room

I need a drink of coldness I know I know let's I'm trying to pick up the pace a little bit okay so good so Nestle's makes the very best they and the question to that is

do they because Nestleys is adding fake tuna to its growing plant protein portfolio. Okay. The tuna alternative based on P-P-P-E-A,

protein, not well, you get it. And wheat gluten will first be sold in Nestle's home market of Switzerland. Good. Don't bring it here, although they will. It's,

under the Garden Gourmet brand. Yay! Now, the plant-based seafood industry, according to this article, lags behind the meat and dairy markets. Really? Maybe because it's fish? Well, Nestle's is joining an increasing number of competitors trying to win the category.

Yeah, because you want that category. You want to own the fake fish, fishless fish market, but apparently they do. Uh, impossible foods, said they're working on fishless fish. Conagra brands sells, uh, frozen, plant-based fish fillets. Yum, yum, doesn't that sound good? And good catch makes tuna and crab cakes from legumes. Oh man, you've got me hooked.

You've got me hooked. And who doesn't want? tuna that's pea protein and wheat gluten man that sounds good man does that sound good plus of course

the reason that we're doing this is because well there's concerns about the future of the fishing industry I know we want to keep the fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels so we really want

fake fish Okay. Okay. Now, Nestle's introduced sausage substitutes earlier this year and also makes plant-based mints, meatballs, cold cuts, chicken nuggets, and fillets. Oh, man, Nestle's makes the very best. Man, does that sound good. remember to subscribe to Chewing the Fat this show, the podcast,

And then, you know, come along for the ride and have fun. Okay. That's right. that's important. So one of the things that COVID-19, the lockdown has done, besides made us look for, you know, a vaccine,

and besides, you know, make us look for a disinfectant spray, which I'll talk about in a second, they've developed this disinfectant spray that's, you know, kind of cool. But it's also driven people to do things illegally, that they might not normally do. Like, oh, I don't know. You know, underground bars because bars aren't open.

And I'm sure that there's underground restaurants. I'm sure that there is. I'm sure that there's underground. Anything that you need is available to you. Underground. Illegally. Down the alley and to the left. Through those doors and go downstairs,

take the third door on the right, take the hallway until you get to the end, bang on the door, and if the guy lets you in, you're in. I'm sure with whatever you need. But authorities raided an illegal bar in Brooklyn over the weekend. 281 people inside in this bar.

Now, the bar had its liquor license revoked last year, and somebody had a kid there. So now you've got too many people in the bar, you've got a child endangerment. There was too many people inside this room with only one exit. So, I mean, they're in trouble, right? But really, what is this? This is people trying to get together and enjoy other humans while drinking alcohol.

But they can't because of this lockdown. And because of these insane rules, especially in New York. So it kind of, you know, you. It's understandable. It really is understandable. And it's just really, really frustrating. And something has to be done. You know what?

I'm going to think of what has to be done. I don't know. Like maybe stop locking down places and open up businesses and let businesses try to survive, please? Something like that. Maybe there should be a movement. I don't know. A movement of free enterprise.

You know, it's something. something with a bill of rights and a constitution maybe there's something like that maybe there should be something like that i don't know where you find something like that but if you find it let me know i mean we need to get the country back up and running again there's no question so then i see a story that headlines um lockdowns didn't help contain COVID-19 opening up didn't boost. And I thought, wait, what? Yeah, an analytics firm tallied the cumulative number of reported COVID-19 cases in each state and the district of Columbia as a percentage of population based on data from state and local health departments aggregated by the COVID tracking project.

We then compared that with the timing and intensity of the lockdown on each jurisdiction. That is measured not by the mandates put in place by government, officials, but rather by observing what people in each jurisdiction actually did, along with their baseline behavior before the lockdowns. This is captured in a highly detailed, animized cell phone tracking data provided by Google and others and tabulated by the University of Maryland's Transportation Institute into a social distancing index. But the point of all of this, and I'm going to delve into this, because I haven't looked into

it deeper than this story. but the point is is that through the raw evidence might suggest that the lockdowns made the spread worse it definitely

made didn't hurt and it didn't help so what are we doing we're crushing the United States economy for something that isn't helping. We need to be aware of how to socially distance. And you know what?

If you're out and about, it's best if you wear a mask. But we're going to, industries need to be open. Businesses need to be open. And just be aware that if you're in this window, you are, you know, you're of high risk. And this window is low risk. And be careful.

and wash your hands. In fact, hosed down with the new EPA approved Surface Wise 2 spray. Hose down with that. And then you're good. Well, actually, you might not be good because they tell you that it doesn't. You still have to clean and it doesn't. You have to do regular cleaning. What?

Okay. Fine. I will do regular cleaning. So apparently they've given the go ahead on this Surface Wise 2. anti-bacterial spray that American Airlines can use, and they're letting North Texas health care facilities run by Texas Methodist health system test this as well. Now, airlines, well, this is maddening to be, okay?

So we made a big deal about the airlines increasing their cleaning procedures between flights, which is good. I got, you know, fine, they should be, right? But it also included the use of some disinfectant sprays meant to disinfect for a week or more, right? We showed them, but we talked about it, how they bring in the sprayer, and they hose everything down, and it's all good and well to go. But American Airlines have been using another electrostatic spray on the planes for the past few months, right? Which we talked about.

So is Southwest Airlines. uses an anti-microbial spray that says it lasts up to 30 days. They have not been vetted by the EPA. So they're using all this products. None of this is okayed. None of them. They don't know for sure.

It's just amazing to me. How they're doing it. They don't know for sure. Ah, yeah, it probably works. And it makes you feel better. We've spent all this money and we're fine. Don't worry about it. Wait.

What? Yeah. I know. I know. I'm with you. Okay, so they're talking about, you know, COVID is primarily spread through air droplets. Yeah, we know. We got it. But it's also possible that a person can get it by touching the surface or an object that the virus has come in contact with.

Yep, got it. That's why we were wiping everything down. That's why we were saying, hey, that stuff that you're spraying on the planes and the stuff that you're doing, that kills all that stuff, right? Yeah, we're pretty sure it does. Look, the EPA and, you know, nothing has been right. regulated so we're pretty sure that that anti-micromial spray works we're pretty sure that the other electrostatically spraying surfaces are fine but none of it's been really we don't know for sure

so this is the only the surface wise too is the only product that's come through the APA that's being tested and it's being allowed to kill things. They're saying that it could kill things, you know, for up to 30 days. That's incredible. I mean, I want to spray that all over. You want to, you want to soak in that, which is probably a problem. So there's that. And the good thing about American Airlines is they're going to be clean and up and flying,

and crews are going to be allowed to wear their BLM pins. So that's good. Now, they've already got crews that are. making other people flight attendants and pilots upset because they were wearing their Black Lives Matter pins. Well, now they're saying, well, I'm going to wear my Trump pin then. And my husband is a police officer, and I don't like you wearing your Black Lives Matter pin while I'm on a plane. And I'm flying out of plane. I have to wear my mask.

How come you get to wear your BLM? I mean, it's just a stupid fight over American Airlines. So you're going to see either fist fights from flight attendants, one wearing a turnt. Trump pin and one wearing a Black Lives Matter pin or maybe American Airlines says hey while you're working you have to wear an American Airlines pin

Last night, if you're listening live to this podcast, it's 9-8-2020. And I talked to David on the 7th.

Yesterday evening, I talked to him for about 10 minutes. We had a great conversation, and we were supposed to hook up today for the podcast. And I've called now multiple times to no answer. The first time I called, went to voice. voicemail. I left a message. The rest of the calls, the voicemail is now full. So, I don't know what the deal is. I don't know if he went and read something about chewing the fat and then said, ooh, no, not doing that. I don't know if something personal came up. I hope everything is okay with himself and his family. I don't, you know, we don't, you know, wish any man will on any of that. However, I would like to say, David, Candyman, what up? I mean, you're Mr. Entrepreneur.

You are on top of the world. We've got the Amazon Prime documentary, an actual documentary, called Candyman, the David Klein story. And now you're giving away an opportunity, a trade. It costs 50 bucks to enter the hunt. There's only a thousand participants in each hunt. It's valued at $5,000. So if you find the necklace, I guess the necklace is worth five grand.

I'd love to talk to him about it. I guess if you win the ultimate treasure, it's the key to one of his candy factories and an all expenses paid trip and education to a candy man. a candy-making university. He will add this treasure hunt after all the states have had a chance to play. Okay. So I'd love to have him tell you about it, but apparently no. So maybe if he calls me today and says, hey, Jeff, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to do that. Something came up. It's a personal thing. I forgot about it. My phone was lost. It fell in the lake. I don't know. Gives me a decent excuse.

We'll talk to Dave. I'd love to talk to him. I talked to him last night for like 10 minutes. He's a really great guy. I don't know what happened. I'm so bummed. And I better be bummed for a good reason. If I find out it's something else.

If I find out it's something else, well then I'll find out that it's something else. really kind of bums me out for sure so i saw this thing that makes the rounds on the internet ever so often and it's a list of things that says give yourself one point for each thing you haven't done okay so i see this and i don't know what you get i don't know what it proves there's 20 things on the list one is skipped school broken a bone fired a gun done drugs Been in a limo. Got in a tattoo.

Ridden a horse. Sung karaoke. Gotten a ticket. Ben arrested. Gone ziplining. Ben on TV. Ben on a cruise. Got in a piercing.

Smoked. Met a celeb. Ben skydiving. Had a one-night stand. Skinny dipped. Ben drunk. So I don't know what you get. If you get all 20.

But everybody's supposed to pick you know, how many they had. And, you know, how many you have and say, oh, they've got three. Or I got 10. Or I got all 20. So, I'm looking at this and I'm thinking,

well, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check. Not check, check, check, check, check, check. Not check. And so, it looks like I've got, of course, 18.

I mean, you could have guessed that, right? I mean, that's easy enough. 20, 20 of them. And I've, I got, uh, I got 18. All right. So this is skip school, broken a bone, fired a gun, done drugs, been in a limo, ridden a horse, son karaoke, got in a ticket, been arrested, been on TV, been on a cruise, smoked, meta-selebs, skydiving.

one-night stand skinny dip been drunk okay so I really didn't get 18 so I've got skydiving no I've not been skydiving so there's 19 out of 20 gotten a piercing not for real

so there's 18 zip lining you know if that means just like a small zip line across the yard or one of the big zip lines so we'll say I've done that but the big zip lining down a mountain no but you know across a yard yeah uh gotten a tattoo i have not gotten a tattoo so that's one

two three so 17 17 all right so not 18 i what do i get do i win a prize 17 out of 20 congratulations you've what a brand new And as long as we talked about the moon earlier, because we talked about the moon rusting earlier,

just know that Halloween 2020, Saturday on October 31st, which is going to be a beautiful night, a beautiful night. So this Halloween, we get a blue moon. Yay! So you're going to have a full moon on Halloween. and then the full moon is already, it's going to be closer, so it's a blue moon, right? They, you know,

most blue moons look pale, gray, and white, but squeezing a second full moon into a calendar month. Uh, hello. It's 2020. Now, a blue moon on Halloween only happens about 19 times a century. Next one occurs.

Next one won't occur until 2039? Wow. That's quite a ways. We've already had two super moons. So now we've got a blue moon on Halloween and it's time change day.

So it's going to be 25 hours. The super moon, of course, you know, is closer to Earth. Look 14 times larger and 30 times brighter. But the blue moon will be, I mean, we get an extra hour, right? So we get 24. five hours of the blue moon. I mean, we're not going to have Halloween anyway.

So we might as well have something to look forward to, right? I mean, cities, I started to see headlines where cities are already canceling Halloween. And what are you going to go as? You're going to wear a mask of yourself? We're already all wearing masks. Right? Right. So, I don't know.

Are we going to have Halloween? I've said all along, no. I'm sure there's going to be some places that have it. But I doubt it. I doubt it. You're going to watch your kids going up to strangers' houses and getting candy from those houses? I mean, I do.

I say go. It's worth a shot to get bags full of candy. Yes, please. But in today's world, in the COVID-19 Halloween, I don't know. I don't know. Sure, I want to go outside to see blue moon. Sure I do. No, no, of course I do. And of course I want to get free candy. So I guess

that answers the question, right? Right. You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack. But she's never told her side of the story until now. People assume that I'm like this pervert. My name is Natalie Robamed. And in my new podcast, 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 to other people? I don't even know how to answer that question.
