Starting point is 00:00:00 And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Hello, and how in the world are you? Thanks for coming along for the ride today. This, as if you didn't already know, is chewing the fat. So if you're looking for a gig, I know times are tough for a whole bunch of people. Amazon might be the place for you. They are looking to bring 33,000 new employees to the table. Wow. I mean, that's a lot of employees, right?
Starting point is 00:00:37 I mean, okay, no problem. So they have already hired, what, another $175,000 throughout the pandemic to try to, you know, try to face the heat of the battle with everyone using them. UPS is looking to bring on 100,000. thousand people. Now, that's, you know, I'm sure that most of the people that are getting hired now by Amazon and or UPS are seasonal workers, right? I mean, it's Christmas time coming up, holiday time, and they need extra people to
Starting point is 00:01:18 deliver packages, they need extra people to sort packages. It's a busy time of year. That's still a lot. Now, Amazon said a lot of the 33,000 jobs aren't all just, delivery people, their corporate and tech jobs, those jobs are, you know, not bad jobs. You get about $150,000 a year for those jobs. And you get to work from home, at least for now, right?
Starting point is 00:01:42 I mean, you don't have to worry about relocating. You just need to make sure you upgrade your high-speed internet. I mean, that's pretty good. That is pretty darn good. And, you know, look, other retailers have had a tough time, right? J.C. Penny, Jay-Crew, Brooks Brothers, bankrupt, Lord and Taylor, been a business for a couple hundred years,
Starting point is 00:02:06 bye-bye. Coca-Cola, American Airlines, announcing layoffs and buyouts. Although J.C. Penny was just kind of saved. I mean, mall owners Simon Property Group and Brookfield Property Partners, LP, have teamed up to acquire J.C. Penny's retail operations. They're putting the finishing touches on the agreement,
Starting point is 00:02:28 So that deal, that's probably worth what? A bunch of jobs, right? At least 70,000, I would say, something like that. That would save them from bankruptcy and liquidation. And the mall owners would own the property and run the stores. We'll see if that, how long that lasts. We'll see if that works out. That would be great if it does.
Starting point is 00:02:55 And we'll talk a little bit more about what's going to be happening with those malls are just trying to save their own hide because nobody's going to the mall. So anyway, Amazon is having a big career fair, all right, that they want to bring people into the workforce. And they're going to say, hey, even if you don't want a job with Amazon, come on to the online career fair anyway. We're going to be collecting resumes and give people a chance to talk to a recruiter. even if you're not interested in a job at Amazon,
Starting point is 00:03:29 we can get you some resume help anyway. That's pretty good. I mean, that's nice of them. That's really, really nice of them. Now, the one thing that kind of, you know, makes this story, I don't know, kind of sad, is that Amazon is adding all these jobs, and yet they still are the number two employer in the U.S.
Starting point is 00:03:55 I know, right? You'd think they'd want to be number one. Come on, Jeff. What are you doing? This will put them over a million. They're already over a million. This puts them well over a million employees worldwide. Walmart still number one.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Walmart has over two million employees. I don't know if Amazon's ever going to hit that. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So I'm reading the story about Gillian Michaels. You remember Jillian Michaels from The Biggest Loser, and she's, you know, fitness trainer, extraordinary, you know, known around the world. And she's a, you know, pretty good-looking female. But apparently, she contracted coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Now, she's 49. Looks great for 49. and says that she had contracted COVID-19 several weeks ago. And she now is doing, she does an interview where she's telling people, hey, don't go to the gym. Well, why? Look, she says, if you're afraid of COVID, you should not go to the gym. And she says, I'm actually a person who let my guard down.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I haven't even spoken about this publicly, really. A very close friend of mine gave me COVID several weeks ago. Oh. Okay. Well, um, how did you get it? Did you go to the gym with her? According to this story, I don't think she went to the gym. I think she got her hair done. She said, she let her guard down for about an hour with one of her best friends who does her hair and makeup and got it. She said it's just that simple. Okay. You know, neither one of them knew they had it. And, you know, they didn't know they had it for a while. And then she finally got it. Thanks to being. So, healthy, it didn't affect her as much as she thought it would, right? So she's very, very happy about that and very thankful. But I don't know why that would, according to this story, it doesn't seem like she got it, going to the gym with her best friend who does her hair and makeup for an hour. It sounds like they got together and didn't know they had COVID, and whether she was getting her hair
Starting point is 00:06:24 done or they were out to lunch and then they got COVID together. But the reason, and throughout this whole thing, she's doing an interview discussing her at-home workout app. Oh, okay. All right. I understand now, Jillian. People shouldn't go to the gym at all. That's a nasty, filthy, dirty place.
Starting point is 00:06:48 But hey, don't forget to use my at-home workout app. okay all right thanks Jillian appreciate it no problem now now I believe what you have to say
Starting point is 00:07:02 okay you know first of all if you're going to use an at-home app you should use better you performance
Starting point is 00:07:12 Elvis Fisher if you're going to use an at-home app workout app and need help making yourself stronger and better a better you performance
Starting point is 00:07:21 just a You know, just passing along, Jillian. So ever so often there's a show that you wish you were watching at the time, right? So I see a story where a morning show is doing their live shot, of course, and they've got a big deal going on, and they send their reporter out to do the live event, and Holly and Philip are back in the studios. We're going to throwing it to our girl out of the... at the event and there she's out at the uh she's out at the natureist club and of course everyone
Starting point is 00:08:01 of the nature's club is nude so what does josie gibson do oh of course she has to get naked too she obviously if you watch this clip is the best person to be part of the natures club uh most of the people that are at the natures club you understand i understand i understand the, I understand the feeling. I just want to be naked, right? It's a natureist club. But they don't have really
Starting point is 00:08:34 what you would hope they would have at the natured club. But she does her live report. Nature's Club, where I'm joined by all my new friends. Say hi. Oh! Keep these parts covered. Now, talk about keeping your cards
Starting point is 00:08:48 close to your chest. I thought if you can't beat them, join them. So, So she's got her, you know, they're doing the live shot. And it's just a minute live shot that I've got the giveaway. And she's got a, she's got her cue cards covering up above her chest. And they've got a wall there that they're standing behind.
Starting point is 00:09:06 And there's two guys, naturous, in the new car that they're giving away. The one guy's sitting down and then the other guy is standing behind the open door. Now, the guy behind the open door is doing his best to keep his nakedness behind the open door. But the way the camera is pointed, you know, as the camera pans from left to right, going from Josie Gibson, and she, you know, and the camera pans back left to the car as she's pointing out what a great deal it is and what the giveaway is. The guy behind the door just kind of steps off a little bit.
Starting point is 00:09:41 And, you know, so he's got his nakedness all coming through to the morning show crowd. And then, you know, of course, we flick back to the host who have this shocked look on their face. and they're kind of like, ooh, and then she's still going with the bit, and then they go back to her, and the camera pans again, and Homeboy just kind of steps off back a little bit to the side,
Starting point is 00:10:01 and then it's all out of the open again. Just getting naked, naked on TV. I love the naturist, huge fan. Huge fan of the naturist. Then I see a story. People get naked everywhere. Then I see a story in New Hampshire, where they're voting in New Hampshire.
Starting point is 00:10:22 And so a lady walks in, according to the story, we don't know who she is. There has not been a name. Today has not been identified. But the person who was in charge of the voting has been identified. So I kind of believe that it's true. Paul Scaffidy told her she couldn't wear a shirt featuring a political candidate while she voted. She had a T-shirt on McCain Hero, Trump Zero. t-shirt. Keep in mind, they're voting in New Hampshire and this ballot for the governor and
Starting point is 00:10:58 congressional seats. There's no presidential election going on. So McCain Hero Trump Zero t-shirt, she can't wear it at the poll. And she, you know, the guy was like, was trying to tell her, hey, just go out in the hall and turn it inside out and come back, right? And so the lady says, well, do you want me just take it off? And he said, I'd rather not, but as soon as she's saying, you want me to take it off, she just takes it off. And she's obviously not wearing anything underneath
Starting point is 00:11:32 the T-shirt. No, no report here, whether it was worthy. I mean, obviously, you're going to look, duh. But it was worthy where you're going to take a second look. There was no doubt. And she was just, you know,
Starting point is 00:11:49 they're topless with wanting to vote. She takes a shirt off, no problem. Now, she said, you know, we can't, no person shall distribute where or post at a polling place, any campaign material. People convicted of this crime will be fined $1,000. Okay, all right, but you're voting for. I know we can't let, uh,
Starting point is 00:12:14 we can't let anybody through with a, you know, benefit of the doubt thing. and I guess she was mad because she said another lady was wearing an American flag t-shirt oh, that's not electioneering but the Trump zero shirt would have to be covered
Starting point is 00:12:27 so she just took it off and she went over to the over to the voting machine and continued to vote and as soon as she was done voting she put her ticket in and she put her shirt back out and she left tremendous
Starting point is 00:12:43 so if you're a fan of being a naturist that's the way to do it, right? Now you can get in trouble. He said he could have had a removed for violating state indecency laws, so you've got to be careful. But he didn't want to inflame the situation further.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Smart move, Paul. Really smart move. Just let it happen. You already made your point with the McCain hero, Trump Zero. t-shirt, right? You made your point. So, and she was already ready to fight for it by just taking it off and, you know, let the, you know, let the breasts fly free of charge at the voting booth. So just let it go. And so he just let it go. He goes, ah, the things don't worry about. I'm not worried about it. She took it off. She followed the rule. I am fine. So just be ready. Be ready. If you're going to vote and you want to, you know, you want to set some. Never happens when I'm there.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Very disappointing. Very disappointing. If you're going to do that and you're in the Texas greater DFW area, let me know where you're going to do that. I will attempt to be at the voting booth. Just to be there. That's all. Hello.
Starting point is 00:14:07 It's okay. And I love this story. I can't wait to hear what do we got. We got about three months. Then we have about another another three to four months to get. actual COVID babies. Oh, right? Speaking to being naked.
Starting point is 00:14:22 We're all born naked, okay? Yeah, well, I know. I got it. But they just had a report from Fort Worth that the Fort Worth Hospital, Fort Worth Baylor Scott and White, All Saints Medical Center, given their full title, do.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Set a record in August for babies. All right? They had 581 babies born in August. 13 sets of multiples Wow That's a lot And they average 19 deliveries a day And one day in August
Starting point is 00:14:59 Which you know through the average up 32 babies in a day Or you know It's just a 24 hour period That's pretty strong And that's a record All right so 581 now
Starting point is 00:15:12 297 were boys 284 were girls How dare they how dare they identify these babies as male and female, boy and girl, when they have not said what they identify as? She's, I can't take it. So, All Saints Medical Centers, Andrews Women Hospital, delivered about 6,000 babies a year, and it's the only hospital in fourth word specifically for women. So we'll see in the next three months. Right? And then the next three to four or five months, if we have that first big push of,
Starting point is 00:15:55 you see what I did there, that first big push of coronavirus babies, COVID babies. I mean, there's plenty of babies. These can be considered, you know, being born during the pandemic, you know, lockdown babies, but they're not really COVID babies. Right. These babies, the COVID babies have got to come. We've been in the lockdown, what, six months? She's, six months. Been locked down for six freaking months. So, I don't know if you know the station period of humans,
Starting point is 00:16:34 but that's nine months, anywhere from eight to nine months. So we got to wait. We still have a couple of months before we can actually start saying that you are the, you know, you're a COVID baby. Yeah, of course. And another thing that happens in other places that I'm never, at when it happens in Tel Aviv, Israel. This is going on in Israel.
Starting point is 00:16:54 I'm sure it's happening here in America. At least I hope it would, but be from a different company. A company is dropping bags of weed over downtown Tel Aviv. I'm a fan. I am a fan. I got it. I'm a fan. They're just flying drones over Town Square dropping bagging.
Starting point is 00:17:19 of weed down on Town Square. Yeah, and in the story, people scrambled to scoop up the strains in the middle of traffic. Yeah, no kidding. So a pro-legalization group, Green Drone, hinted that, yeah,
Starting point is 00:17:37 it's probably going to be us, because the time has come. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's the green drone sending you free cannabis from the skies. Yeah. Now, they say they arrested the two people who were operating the drone.
Starting point is 00:17:54 What are you talking about? The bags were packed with a dangerous drug. Okay. Was it packed with a dangerous drug of marijuana, cannabis? A medical marijuana is already legal in Israel. But the recreational use is illegal. And most of it's decriminalized. It's almost here in America.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Stop it. Stop it. releasing a dangerous drug dropping little baggies of marijuana on the streets. I mean, really? It was in downtown in the town square, right? So I'm not sure if it sucks about sending folks running into the streets. They probably could have found a better place to drop the baggies like, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:39 toward a park or something. So you're not causing traffic issues. But just trying to, you know, think outside the box. I get it. I get it. I got it. I got it. I got it.
Starting point is 00:18:49 And we started drone deliveries, which is awesome. All right. North Carolina, they are starting to use drones to deliver grocery and essential items from a Walmart using their flytrex automated drones. I want, okay, so Amazon, if you're not going to use the drones here in DFW, this is a hub. good let's go let's go let's go let's go we've got i've got what i've got two big walmart super centers and a neighborhood center in close range of my home so and a samms club in close range of my house if walmart is going to start doing it let's go let's do the fly treks drone and let's go i want i want my product If I have to become a stupid Walmart Plus member or whatever their new plan is, I will.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Okay. The drones are controlled over the cloud using a smart and easy control dashboard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm all for it. Okay? I'm all for it. And then they go back to quoting Sam Walton. I've always been driven to buck the system to innovate, to take things beyond where they've been.
Starting point is 00:20:15 It remains a guiding principle. Walmart to this day, from being an early pioneer of universal bar codes and electronic scanning cash registers to our work on autonomous vehicle delivery. We're working to understand how these technologies can impact the future of our business and help us better serve our customers. So be ready. You know, all those Walmart semis on the road, those are going to be, those are going to be robotics soon, AI semis. But, you know, they cut back, they still have over two million employees.
Starting point is 00:20:46 they can cut back a couple still be fine. I don't want anybody to lose their jobs. But I love how they use these. They quote Sam as needed. Mr. We buy American. We sell American. We're the all-American company. Did Dad just die?
Starting point is 00:21:01 Yeah? Okay. Everything to China. I mean, they all made fortunes. They all made larger fortunes once Dad passed away, once Sam was gone, killing that buy American. We only sell American. We're an all-American company. Oh, we still believe in America.
Starting point is 00:21:20 We do. Now, we believe in America, but we're going to get our products from China because it's a lot cheaper and it's going to make us a lot more money. Oh, okay. Okay, no problem. No, I'm not saying. I still, I still buy stuff there. I'm not bad-mouthing them for it. I'm just saying what they did.
Starting point is 00:21:36 And I like how they pick and choose using Sam as their, oh, oh, Dad. Sam Walton famously said that. Did he? Yeah, he said a lot of other things that we were just forgetting about now, too. So anyway, my point, Walmart, hello. Let's bring it on. Let's go. If you can save me from having to leave my home to get products, I'm all for it.
Starting point is 00:22:04 And you can quote me on that. Hey, just a reminder to subscribe to this very podcast, Chewing the Fat. That would be very nice. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:27:03 It's just incredible what's going on. We could talk about all that. But really, most importantly, about the NFL, is that more on trivia is back. So every Friday during the NFL season, you know, as long as it lasts during COVID, we are going to have more on trivia on Pat Unleashed. So tune in, Pat Unleashed on Blaze Radio and Blaze TV. I've been joining Pat all week. It's been so much fun.

So just be ready for more on trivia to start. I as commissioner is exciting.
Starting point is 00:27:51 And I believe that tomorrow, and this kills me. I hope he can't make it or something because I guess we're having Stu show up for Moron Trivia because the game is Philadelphia. So, you know, Mr. I love the Philadelphia ego, so we're going to be part of the Moron Trivia gang. So be prepared tomorrow during Pat Unleased
Starting point is 00:28:16 for Moron Trivia. I haven't seen the new Ozzy Osbourne biography, The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne, but I see where they're, you know, they're promoting it. And of course, they talk about Ozzy almost choking Sharon to death. And it says,
Starting point is 00:28:46 while on several drugs. Ha! I mean, that's a day of not being on drugs if you're only on, if Ozzy's only on several drugs. They say that we had a couple of fights. You could tell it was building to something. You could just feel it, Sharon said.
Starting point is 00:29:03 I just knew it was coming. And it's like night and day when Ozzy's on drugs. And Ozzy was calm. But at that moment, he was. He was just really calm. And that frightened the crap out of me. And Ozzy said, I felt the calmest I've ever felt in my life.
Starting point is 00:29:22 It was like serenity. Everything was just peaceful. That's when I dove across the sofa. I did choker to death. Oh, okay, what I do like, though, is that Sharon said that as he lunged across at me, I felt the stuff on the table, and I felt the panic button.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Now, you know there's an issue in your life. If you have a panic button ready to go because you're concerned about what's going to happen with your husband. I mean, I guess it could be that you could overdo you. dose or, you know, they're out of drugs or something. I don't know. But, I mean, if you have a panic button, so she said in this interview, I remember he lunged across me, across the, across the sofa, and I felt the stuff on the table, felt the
Starting point is 00:30:19 panic button, and just pressed it. The next thing I know, the cops were there. Okay. And then he was in jail. And then he said he woke up in jail. And then he said he woke up in jail. jail and they asked he said what am i in here for and the cop says you want me to read your charge you've been arrested for the attempted murder of Sharon Osborne I was very surprised when she dropped
Starting point is 00:30:45 the charges that's nice to share it really really nice of Sharon no doubt about it and then there's the big court case going on with Eminem where he had his intruder Matthew David Hughes Eminem said he got up in the middle of the night and Matthew was there was a guy behind him oh
Starting point is 00:31:10 okay and he thought it was his nephew I think that's what he said originally he said I thought it was my I got up and I thought it was my nephew and he told M&M's he said why you hear he says I was there to kill you
Starting point is 00:31:27 oh okay How about no? So he's been charged with first-degree home invasion and malicious destruction of property or malicious destruction of property. Okay. I mean, I might go with, you know, perhaps attempted murder on that too,
Starting point is 00:31:49 but we'll see, first-degree home invasion. I mean, you can't, wow, that's pretty incredible, right? Eminem, you're able to break it to Eminem's house like that without him knowing about it? I mean, M&M, I would say SimplySafe, maybe. I think you can afford it. SimplySafe.com. And you'd be all right.
Starting point is 00:32:09 You'll get yourself an alarm system. So you're alerted when someone comes into your home. And you can see, you just use the app and you can see, hey, look at that. Is that my nephew? Nope. I think I'll call the police now. So just trying to help you out, Mr. Mathers. So we have a new initiative.
Starting point is 00:32:29 And it is a powerful initiative as well. We talked yesterday about the Oscars and how they're changing their best picture initiative. And they want to have, you know, underrepresented communities represented in the film industry, you know, in the making of the film and in the film itself. And I mean, really, we talked about it yesterday and just eating themselves, right? And that will, people are still going to make movies without them. and they're just going to be, oh, well, we can't. Oh, we're not going to get an award?
Starting point is 00:33:02 Oh, darn. I just want to make my movie with the best people and the best actors and the people who I want. Not just following some breakdown of 30% of underrepresented community guidelines. It's just agonizing. So anyway, we have a new initiative also that just launched. To change the look of American boardrooms, specifically to make them look. You guessed it.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Less white. The board challenge, a project of Ultimator Capital, Valence, and the board list, is challenging U.S. firms to add a black director to their boards within 12 months. 17 companies, including Zillow and Next Door, have taken the pledge. 27 members with at least one black board. member already, United Airlines, Nordstrom, among them, are working with the project to advance diversity efforts. So according to this, 9% of Fortune 500 board members are black men and women.
Starting point is 00:34:14 66% are white men. And 18, that number has been everywhere today, are white women. This is according to the board list. And black representation on boards hasn't budged in the last few years. California has introduced legislation that would require. Require! I think that can't be constitutional. To not just challenge publicly held companies to appoint at least one director from an underrepresented community by the end of 2020.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Okay? they would require you to have at least one director wow wow and according to this newcomers to find a seat in the board room 72% of the directors have previous board experience how dare companies want people that have board experience and are current or ex-CEOs okay i mean it's just i get it i get it but i don't get it So there you have it.
Starting point is 00:35:28 I get it, but I don't get it. You know what I'm saying? I think you do. Also, good news coming out of New York, which actually is a news that just makes me so angry. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now going to, and this is darn nice of him, too, Andrew the douche Cuomo. He's going to a lot.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Did I say that out loud? Gosh darn it. Let me. I'll try to edit that out. No, it's too late. Oh, okay. Andrew, the douche Cuomo, is going to allow indoor dining in New York City on September 30th. Oh, well, that's so nice at you, Governor Cuomo.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Thank you. Thank you. But hold on. We're going to let you open back up. But you can only have 25% capacity. And look, diners, I got to get their temperature check to the door. and one member of your party, I don't care which one,
Starting point is 00:36:29 you choose one member of your party, we want their information for contact tracing purposes. Oh! How about, no? I'm with that guy over there. I mean, just incredible. Just incredible.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Now, get this, according to this story, and restaurants have been dying on the vine, so, I mean, they want to be open. Nearly 10,000 restaurants, Wow, that's incredible. 10,000 restaurants set up outdoor seating since July. It's because they all wanted to be open, right? I mean, they just didn't care.
Starting point is 00:37:04 And now it's starting to get winter. We talked a little bit about this this morning on Pat Unleashed. So, I mean, now it's getting close to, you know, fall in winter. So you start thinking, you know, outdoor dining probably won't be a good thing. Nobody wants to eat outside when it's zero. Temperature-wise. Oh, really? Really? Really, you think?
Starting point is 00:37:26 So looking ahead, though, the good news is that right now, which isn't really right now, it's the end of the month, September 30th, you're going to be able to open up to indoor dining. Governor Cuomo is going to allow you to do that. You're going to be at 25% capacity. You've got to check temperatures. You've got to get contact tracing. Well, at the November 1st, so there's going to give you a couple of months this way. And then he's going to see if he kind of wants to let you have 50% capacity.
Starting point is 00:38:01 That is just agonizing. Agonizing. He's going to allow you to open up your business to customers. I cannot tell you how that pisses me off. And another thing that makes me angry that I read yesterday that Spotify deleted all the Alex Jones appearances on, Joe Rogan's podcast in the archives. That kind of ticks me off. But then I see where, which I think is ridiculous, by the way,
Starting point is 00:38:35 ridiculous. But, you know, they get to do what they want to do. They're Spotify. It's their company. If they want to remove somebody, they can remove somebody. And Alex has already been removed from the world, except for wherever he does his show from these days. According to that video, we played on Pat yesterday.
Starting point is 00:38:50 He lives at a, the back room of a waffle house. But according to other posts with the Alex Jones post, Joe Rogan is leaving the Jones podcast up on his YouTube channel for viewing purposes. So he's still going to be there. And I guess he's going to be on the podcast soon. Will that podcast air on Spotify? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Maybe it airs once and they take it and put it away. Maybe it doesn't air at all. I don't know. maybe it just goes to Rogan's YouTube channel and that'll be it but he's not being according to this
Starting point is 00:39:28 he's not being shadow banned well he's being censored a little bit the company is deciding we don't like that podcast that you did so we're going to take it away and we don't like the person you talk to so we've decided we're going to make it disappear
Starting point is 00:39:44 all right I'm not really crazy about that but you know he look They're paying him $100 million, and he's letting them do what he wants, what they want to his stuff, which now isn't his stuff. It's Spotify stuff.
Starting point is 00:39:59 So, okay, you know, good luck, God bless. Spend your $100 million well, Joe. Good for you. And he's keeping it up on YouTube so you can go and watch the interviews there if you're that much of an Alex Jones fan. So all's well that ends well. Right?
Starting point is 00:40:18 Right. Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. So I got an email addressed to chewing the fat at the blaze.com. And it's from Stephanie. And she sent me some pictures, which I am a huge fan of. She said they put some of the OSU COVID positive kids into an old holiday inn on campus. and she drove by and noticed that the kids were using Post-it notes to communicate with the outside world.
Starting point is 00:40:57 And she took some pictures of it. And it is really awesome. Really awesome. The, I might have to post them on Instagram. Maybe I will. Maybe I'll post these pictures on Instagram. There's really, really cute.
Starting point is 00:41:11 So one picture has, you know, Post-it notes as a sad face in the window. one picture has has I think that's posted notes but it's something marked that you could just make out a shadow of the person that's in the window it says
Starting point is 00:41:30 so bored day five in the next window so bored day five and then there's one that I think is my favorite one window it's a three window room.
Starting point is 00:41:51 One window says SOS, middle window, welcome ladies with a big heart on it. And the top window says day three. So, good luck. Good luck with welcoming those ladies. But it looks like if you scroll down the one picture
Starting point is 00:42:12 that had so bored, is that a guy? I don't know I don't know it could be a guy but you know if you are you just locked into your room
Starting point is 00:42:25 so you can't even I mean if it's a if it's a quarantine hotel you could be able to walk down the hall all right no not without the alarm going off Jeff
Starting point is 00:42:35 that won't stand oh okay all right well never mind then don't worry about it so I was going through my you know morning emails this morning
Starting point is 00:42:45 which I you know have a I think I'm up to about 8,000 different companies that are sending me emails every morning that I'm supposed to go through, and I go through everyone too. There's really only a couple that I go through. And one of them has, you know, books that
Starting point is 00:43:03 that were supposed to be good and that are coming out soon. And this one actually, I think I want to talk to this guy. It's called the Ascent of Money by historian Nile Ferguson. and he travels from ancient Massopotamia to 21st century crypto wallets to show how money, credit, and finance
Starting point is 00:43:26 have evolved throughout the history. I mean, you kind of know how it's evolved. But it'd be fascinating to learn more about how they did it in ancient Massapitavia. And then you could listen to the B-52s, their Massapitania
Starting point is 00:43:43 album, and that would be It would be great. It would be wonderful. Because now all I can think of is for me. And Massapetamia, it would be 52s. And you could do that. And just let the B-52s roll with it. Now, they also go on to give you some questions about money.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Fill in the blank questions about money, which I found kind of fascinating. So blank are banned from being featured on U.S. currency. Do you know the answer? People who are alive are banned from being featured on U.S. currency. The most common note in circulation is the blank bill. I mean, you know that answer to that, right? I mean, it's the dollar bill. Hello?
Starting point is 00:44:34 The phrase blank has been featured on U.S. paper currency since 1957. the phrase in God we trust has been on the U.S. paper currency since 1957. I would have bet longer than that. Each year, more blank money is printed than real money. I mean, my answer would be counterfeit money, right? I mean, that's what George Floyd was trying to push off. And ever so often, I mean, you. run across a counterfeit 20.
Starting point is 00:45:15 So my answer would be that, and I would be wrong, according to this. Each year, more monopoly money is printed than real money. You know, pretty soon that's what our money's going to be worth. Anyway, if you listen to the experts. Coins are blank before they're minted. According to this, coins are pickled before they're minted. I got to check that out. I got to see if that's true.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Coins are pickled before they're minted. Okay, so according to this, nickels, dimes, and quarters are pickled before they're minted. So the blanks that are used to make the coins are pickled. So the nickel blanks are soaked in a special chemical solution, and this pickling washes and polishes the coins. the blanks. Okay. All right, that's great.
Starting point is 00:46:17 And for those of you that are wondering how to keep your cucumbers crisp when pickling, the whole pickles, pack the cucumbers snugly into the jars, starting with the larger ones and filling in gaps with smaller ones. Remember, cucumbers shrink a little during processing,
Starting point is 00:46:34 so pack tightly. For the spears, cut into quarters lengthwise, then press back together before pickling into jars to maintain crispness. Just to passing that along a little bit, help you out in your pickling of cucumbers. All right, so with the fires happening in California and Oregon,
Starting point is 00:46:56 be ready for the animal stories to come out. I mean, I know we've already got the people story, and the people story is, you know, sad, and we're losing lives, and people are really struggling with the fires. I mean, they're losing. everything that they've ever worked for. It's sad. But the animal stories are going to be coming soon. I saw a story about these animals in the Amazon
Starting point is 00:47:18 that the mission is to save the animals. And one baby was run over by a car as they fled fires raging across the world's largest rainforest. She arrives stressed, screaming, and smeared with blood. The owner of the clinic, wrap the pear in a small white cloth. That's his mission, is to save the animals in the Amazon, one of the Earth's most biodiverse habitats.
Starting point is 00:47:52 They face an ever-growing threat as loggers and farms advance further and further into the rainforest. And then this article from Reuters is showing, I don't know there's never since you'd see it in the U.S., maybe you would. but I mean this article is showing you know dead animals he's holding hey here's an anteater that got burned up okay hey here's a picture of an ant eater that got run over by a car oh okay all right thanks for that no problem uh here's an animal that somebody had illegally what kind of animal is that that's a tuberc CEO oh that's the clinic wait what's the animal hold on his name is the tapir tapir t a p i r
Starting point is 00:48:37 from an illegal farm. Okay. I mean, it's like a giant horse pig animal. I've got to find out what that is. Okay, it's a large hermivorous mammal similar in shape
Starting point is 00:48:53 to a pig. It's pretty big. With a short prehensled nose trunk. It's a weird-looking animal, but it might be fun to have around. Maybe that's what the illegal farm had in mind.
Starting point is 00:49:07 It was just fun to keep around. But no. But no, it's illegal captivity for these. And they show birds injured. It's just, it's a weird story. And they show a little baby monkey. I'm not laughing. I'm not laughing.
Starting point is 00:49:24 I'm crying. I'm crying is what I'm doing. They show the little monkey laying there. And then the mom has got traumatic brain surgery and her condition. I don't know how the mom got traumatic brain injury, by the way. And it said that they wrapped her and her condition slowly improves. Ah, but the baby didn't make it. The baby that we showed you, ah, didn't make it.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Okay. All right. I got you. Thank you. And they show another ant eater that survived, that they brought back home. And now it's living in the house, but they're going to set it free after the surgery. And birds are getting helped. I mean, okay, great.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Thank you. Appreciate it. And then they've got the ant eater. So they show an ant eater that had a broken leg that they believe looks like it got into a fight with a porcupine. And they found the ant eater in a garage. And they figure that it got driven there from the fires because they don't normally go into the area where there are homes. Oh, okay. So, but it got into a fight with a porcupine.
Starting point is 00:50:34 So they fixed him up. and it shows where they sent them off, they put them back out into the wild. And then the very next picture is a nanniter that got run over by a car. I'm not crying. I mean, I'm crying. I'm not laughing.
Starting point is 00:50:51 It's be wrong to laugh. Because what do they want me to do? I guess I'm supposed to feel sad, and I do. Gosh darn it. If there was anything I could do to save these animals in the rainforest, I would. And then we find out, we're supposed to know that climate change, right,
Starting point is 00:51:09 is killing all these animals with people and fires and animals are being lost and they're going extinct and we're never going to find them. And then there's this animal in Africa that's believed to be a lost species, right? Now, a lost species is just, you know, it falls off the radar. We haven't seen it in a long time. We believe it to be extinct, but we're just calling it a lost species. This particular animal hadn't been seen for 50 years. It's called an elephant shrew.
Starting point is 00:51:43 It was considered a lost species. For those of you watching live on the 10th of September 2020, you can see me, lost species, in quotation marks. So now all of a sudden, and it's supposed to be in Somalia, right? The only time they'd seen it is in Somalia. And that's where it's been documented from. and so they hadn't seen it. More than 50 years, 50 years.
Starting point is 00:52:08 So apparently somebody is walking through Djibouti, one of our favorite African countries, or the Republic of Djibouti. It's not Djibouti. I know what it's called. And if you haven't listened in a while, we're a fan. We have listeners from time to time in Djibouti.
Starting point is 00:52:29 I believe those are our military personnel. Somebody's walking through the Republic of, of Djibouti, and they like, hey, isn't that one of those, one of those elephant shrews, the Somalia Seg guy that looks like a mouse but has a trunk like nose? Yeah, that is it. Isn't that supposed to be extinct or a lost species? Yep. Haven't we, we haven't seen one of those in 50 years? I know, but you've been looking in Somalia. It's in Djibouti. Oh, okay. So, there you go. So climate change really isn't attacking all the animals, is it? No. No, it's not. Could it be just a cyclical thing? Like animals, you know, they go extinct and a new animal comes on board? Could it be something like that? No, no, no, you're right. You're right. Never mind. Never mind.
