And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Hello and welcome to chewing the fat. I just wanted to start off the day with giving you news that, well, you need. So just know that not counting today, if you're listening live on the 16th of September 2020, not counting today. Not counting today. You have 100 days until Christmas. You know, if we're going to have a Christmas this year, there's a hundred days away, you know, not counting today.

So be ready. Welcome to chewing the fat. So apparently we have actual good news today. You will not be seeing Instagram or Facebook. posts from Kim Kardashian West, Katie Perry, Leonardo DiCaprio, Aston Couture, Mark Ruffalo, Carrie Washington, Rosario Dawson, Jamie Fox, Sasha Baron Cohen, among many other Hollywood stars and celebrity influencers who are supporting the Stop Hate for Profit campaign and they just aren't going to post anything on Instagram for a day.

Those of you that are thinking, gee, that's good, yeah, you are on the right page. That is good. Now, their fans may be disappointed, but I have a feeling that not all of the 188 million followers Kim has on her Instagram really care a lot about Kim. just kind of are there, right? She makes a lot of money off that thing. So how's your profit doing, Kim? Because the last time I heard, you were worth quite a bit of money.

And you're using those accounts for profit. So I know you're mad at Facebook because you think they're not doing enough to silence people. Oh, okay. All right. No, I know. I know. I know you think that Facebook is not doing enough of silencing people on their platform, which is what you want.

Soon enough, soon enough, Kim, Ashton, Mark, Kerry, Rosario, Jamie, Sasha, Katie, Leo. They'll be coming for you. Then we'll see how you like being silent. So I'm reading the story about the Texas family who were sentenced because of their master's tournament ticket scheme. And when you first hear it's a master's ticket tournament scheme, I mean, how bad can that be? Well, the man behind the whole works got 28 months in prison. His parents and his sister all pled guilty to wire fraud charges after admitting to running, this scheme to fraudulently obtain tickets to the masters and resell them for a profit.

They were also ordered to pay more than $275,000 in total in community restitution. Okay. And the parents and sister got three years probation. So even after he serves his 28 months, he's going to have a supervised release of, from prison as well. Wow. He even said before the court, I'm here to be accountable and to make amends in any way I can. You're still getting 28 months. So good luck. God bless.

So apparently, single day passes to the tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia were being sold for more than $7,500 and four day passes for more than $14,000. They admitted in court that they purchased bulk address lists. used its names and addresses to create fake accounts in the master's ticket system and used for the lottery each year without the individuals on the list knowledge. One of those accounts won tickets in the lottery. The family would create fake IDs to convince the golf club to change the mailing address to theirs. Then the family would simply resell the tickets.

They ran the scam for about five years. You know, it seems like a pretty good deal. It seems like a pretty good deal. The golf club was not happy, and they thought about that it was suspicious activity, and they contacted the FBI, and apparently it is suspicious activity. So you got that going on. I'm not real sure how much money they actually made, and I don't think that anybody really knows exactly how much money they made.

but good for them for trying. I mean, sure you got caught. Sure, you're going to have to pay back $275,000. Sure, you're going to have to be on three years probation. Sure, you're going to have to be on three years supervised release after your 28 months in prison. But, you know, for five years, you had a pretty good run. So I've been waiting to hear if the California Highway Patrol officers and the Golden Gate bridge patrol officer and the

tow-tuck driver and the person who was driving the car actually had fentanyl exposure that made them you know pass out and overdose there was white substance in the car but

so they believe that it's fentanyl and of course we've talked to doctors that talk about how terrible fentanyl is and how many people are overdosing from fentanyl illegally but when it's used properly, you're pretty good. Anyway, that's a whole other issue I have that we beat up the illegal stuff,

but who pays the price are the legal usage people. Just drives me crazy. So there was a report of a car driving, you know, erratically on the Goldagate Bridge. Please show up. Cars pulled over, blocking part of the lane or off to the side, the guys passed out. The officers decide, hey, we need to clear the lane. They get in, they drive it to the first exit after the bridge. He starts feeling like, whoa, I'm going to know, something's wrong, and he calls for an ambulance immediately. Then there was apparently white substance all over the car,

and the Golden Gate Bridge Patrol officer, who responded to the scene, started feeling extremely ill and displaying symptoms of the possible fentanyl exposure. And then the tow truck driver, same thing and they became unresponsive. So, uh, then they brought everybody in and the hospital's gone. So they've all been released. The only guy that's still in the hospital is the original driver of the car.

So we'll see if it actually was fentanyl. I mean, it probably was. They're pretty smart about that. But it, you know, if this guy has got enough fentanyl in his car where there's white substance everywhere in the car that's causing more than,

you know, multiple human beings to become unresponsive. Doesn't sound like it's, you know, he didn't steal some fentanyl from grandma. That sounds like, you know, the illegal market. So let's leave the grandma users alone. Just a thought. We're not going to.

No way. Because that's not the way things work anymore, is it? No, you punish the people who are following the law because you're mad at people who are not following the law. That's the way it works. So, okay, whatever, fine. You want to do that? Fine. Go ahead.

I'm all right with it. And another way you can punish me is give me meatless meat. And we talked, I don't know, last week, I guess, about how they were. were nestle's was coming up with their tuna alternative because there's a growing plant protein portfolio as they expand and they're giving you tuna alternative which is a pea protein and wheat gluten man does that sound good right i know i know now there's frozen plant-based fish fillets there's tuna and crab cakes from legumes. Now, this is going to come as a surprise to you,

but we talked about it before, but I'm just saying that, you know, there's a concern about the future of the fishing industry, of course. And the fake fish market, I mean, the plant-based fish market isn't as big, as you'd think. I know you'd think it'd be everywhere and huge, right?

But no. No, it's not. So, they also introduced sausage substitutes, plant-based mints. Nestle's did meatballs and

cold cuts and chicken nuggets and filets. Yum. Well, now beyond meat is launching its meatless meatballs. Yay! Yay, yeah. Oh, man. Oh, oh, does that sound good?

Doesn't it? Yes. Yes, it does. They come from pre-shaped and are made from pea protein and brown rice. Oh, you go ahead. Tell me that doesn't sound good. You can't. You can't tell me that because, wow, does it sound good?

So instead of having the standard pork beef or veal meatballs, you're going to have peas and brown rice and, of course, a blend of Italian spices to make a vegetarian-friendly alternative to your own at-home grandma's recipe. Man, does it sound good? It's going to be at grocery stores this month. If not there by the end of this month, it will be next month. So whole foods and shop and sprouts and Harris Teeter and Albertsons are all going to have some Beyond Meat, pea protein and brown rice meatballs from Beyond Meat. And I'm sure that the Nestle's tuna alternative, yum, it will be there as well with pea protein and wheat gluten.

Man, does that sound good? Now, part of this story, joins me crazy. They talk about, you know, we talked a little bit of how the future of the fishing industry is, you know, really rising concerns about the fishing industry. And the sustainable levels that have decreased since 1974. Well, fishing nets make up about half of the 79,000 tons of ocean plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, according to a 2018 study. There is no great Pacific garbage patch. it doesn't exist. You know that though.

I'm not hollering at you. I'm sorry. I know you know that. Okay? I know you do. So it makes the whole premise of the fishing nets making up about half of the ocean

plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch all bulls. So I finally did watch cuties and I'll give you a review in the podcast. How about that? Let's do that. So if you are listening to this show and you are not a subscriber to the podcast, you need to do so.

You want to tell your neighbors when they ask, hey, how you doing? What are you doing? Oh, just listen to chewing the fat. You know me.

Chewing the fat. So, but you need to be a subscriber. So I know you're listening now. If you're not a subscriber, you're thinking, well, I'm hearing the show and it's free. Look, you don't want to be just a freeloader only listening to what you're listening to now. You want to be a subscription freeloader so you can listen to the entire show. Not just what you're hearing now, right?

You know I'm right. Okay? You know I am. So you know, as well as I do, that we don't like the police, right? You know for a fact that, I mean, Police, wow. I mean, all jokes aside, police have a very, very difficult job. And I wouldn't want to do it on the best of days.

And in today's world, poof, man, God bless you, because that's a tough job and I don't want to do it. But it drives me insane. when I hear African-American people, including celebrity African-American people, who try to say that it's only them who have to tell their children and think to themselves,

hey, I get nervous, and so I have to do everything right to make sure I don't get pulled over second if I get pulled over my hands on a steering wheel. Yeah, and going to a moment. and going to abide by the commands. Yeah, yeah, that is what we all do. That's what we all do.

So Irving Magic Johnson, Magic, is talking to Representative Maxine Waters, who was great of herself. I mean, both of them together. Tremendous. And I like magic. He talks about that very subject

and how terrible it is. And it just drives me. insane. Well, I first I want to say just God bless everybody. I've leaned on the Lord during these tough times to help me to have these conversations with

my two sons, E.J. and Andre. And then I got a grandson now who was young. And, you know, you, listen, my father had to have this conversation with me. And so every time even I'm Magic Johnson, I'm

Urban Johnson, it didn't matter. When I see a police car, I still get nervous and I have to, you know, do everything the right way to make sure first I don't get pulled over. Second, if I do get pulled over, my hands are on the steering wheel. I'm going to abide by the commands and I'm going to try to do everything the right way. And any instructions that they give me, I'm going to make sure I comply with those instructions. So make sure, whether it's the father or mother, you have those tough conversations with your son and your daughter as well. And make sure you help them understand, listen, it's not a time to be a tough guy. You're not going to take it from the police or you're not going to take crap from somebody. You have to put your guard down and just do what you're supposed to do to be here. a long time. So and he continues on. And it's I mean the whole thing with Maxine Waters is in a 40 minutes, 50 minutes, something like that. But he goes on there to turn it into a black thing. I want to stop him right there. And I want to say, magic. Yes. Amen. That should be preached. And guess what? I do it too.

I feel the same way. I have the same conversations with my children. And I am a white man. It drives me insane that they, they, African Americans, black men and women, feel that they're the only ones that have these conversations. It is not so. Every race, creed, religion, color, brown, red, yellow, blue, orange, whatever, I don't care. You have those conversations. Because the police are out there. They don't know what to expect.

They don't know who you are. They don't know that I'm going to try to be funny with them. They don't know that. And so I don't. Well, you know, right away. But you have to build that trust with the police officer. And then we've seen that trust seems to be made with several people. And then that trust gets broken and the police officer gets hurt.

and because the police officer gets hurt, then the victim gets hurt. And magic goes on in this interview. To talk, I didn't listen to the whole thing. It's Maxine Waters talking about what she calls a financial services brain trust virtually. And yeah, I mean, when you think of Maxine Waters, you think of brain trust.

But Irvin for sure. And he goes on in that interview to talk about that he wants people to be, you know, and he wants African Americans. We need to be CEOs and we need to be on the boards and we've been passed over. Are we living in the, I'd like to have some examples. Irvin, you're a billionaire, maybe even close to a billionaire. You're a CEO. You've got businesses all over.

He talks about when he sends his kids to go to when they travel. And he says, like to New York or whatever. I'm on the phone. Hey, you okay? You doing what you're supposed to? I do that too. You're not alone. It isn't just an African-American thing.

And I wish they would make that clear. And Urban Magic Johnson, the man who has been successful since his high school days, I personally remember watching him play in the high school state championship game and in Michigan, where his high school team won. He took his team to the championship. Then he went to Michigan State and championship in a championship in a championship in a couple of years and then on to the NBA and the guy is a I've been a a success his entire life it just drives me I mean I would hope that he would preach better I would hope that he

would preach better and then getting the okay from Maxine Waters who told everyone to get in people's faces get in their faces and she oh yeah you know right thank you everything thank you thank you What you don't see is her going, oh, thank you, Irving, please donate to my campaign. Thank you, everyone, please donate to my campaign. That's what that was all about. Guaranteed. Just, I'll stop.

Thanks for listening to Chewing the Fat. We'll get back to other stories that are more chewing the fattish. Okay? All right. Take a deep breath. Go to the break room. Drink something cold. Feel better.

Oh, my gosh. I do feel better. Okay. I do feel a little bit better. Maybe another drink. Maybe another ice cold drink. Yep. Yeah, that worked.

Okay, so Kraft Heinz is going to sell part of its cheese business to the French company, Lacteus, for $3.2 billion. According to this, not the craft singles. Now, some would argue that craft singles may not be 100% cheese. I think they are. But, you know, when the French company wants, I mean, is it going to screw up the craft cheese business?

I don't know. Better not. It better not. but congratulations on the $3.2 billion sale of just your cheese company. That would be great. Did you see where Apple had their big thing yesterday, and they've got their Apple Fitness, which connects users to online and workout videos, and that means they've started a war with Peloton. Peloton says, hey, no big deal.

You know, we're illegitial. it legitimizes streamed fitness content and that we're still having an edge because we build the bikes and treadmills. Okay. No problem. They are now, they've started another war.

You know, they've got the war with Fortnite. And now they have bundled the company's paid music, TV plus Arcade and ICloud offering into a 1495 month subscription. They're offering a family tier that includes added storage and a premier tier that includes Apple News and Fitness. Spotify? A little wound up saying Apple is using its dominant position and unfair practices to disadvantage competitors. So now you've got Fortnite,

you've got Spotify, Apple is being attacked. They're the big guys at the top of the hill, right? So, all right, good luck. The other big guys, Amazon, set to open 1,000 neighborhood small delivery hubs to make the online shopping even faster. I mean, they're going to do that to try to go up against Walmart Plus, right? So they want to have 1,000 small delivery hubs in cities and suburbs across the U.S. So that their online shopping can get to your house even faster. Right. So they want the many versions of the fulfillment centers to go up again.

Yes, of course. Like the Walmart of Walmart. Like the likes of Walmart. Yeah. That's exactly what they're doing. Hello. Walmart's got their Walmart plus and their same next day delivery or next day delivery. I mean, but hey, I would, I'm actually thinking about telling my son, go work for Amazon.

go work at one of the one of these. They might as well go work at one of the hubs. Start packing boxes and loading them up on the trucks. Do whatever you have to do. But get in with Amazon and then start making notes and sending it to Jeff. Hey Jeff, another way that would improve business is this. Hey, Jeff. Another way that would improve business is this.

And move your way up the Amazon. on ladder. You might as well. Who else are you going to work for? Who else? Netflix? Apple? I mean, what are you going to do?

You're not going to work for a restaurant. I'll tell you that. So we just saw where Yelp data. And we've talked about what the pandemic and the lockdowns have done to businesses across America. worldwide, but really, you know, we care about America.

Hello. America. Uh, Yelp data shows that 60% of business closures, 60% of business closures, now permanent. Wow. That is incredible. Earlier we heard where 60% were still, uh, you know, 40% were permanent. I mean, that, that number has gone up now. I mean, is, wow, that is huge.

So businesses have indicated at Yelp that they have closed a 23% increase since mid-July. All right. So permanent closures have reached 97,966, representing 60% of the closed businesses that won't be reopened. Now, that's the closed businesses, right? So some of these businesses that have stayed open and tried to reimagine, back to that again today, how they do things and, you know, set up, drive-thrus and stuff are still trying to hang on. Although I saw another article today,

I don't have it in front of me now, but they were complaining that, hey, 25% for these restaurants is not enough. You know, it goes against everything they do. We're open and we need to have people coming in. So you can't, you know, if we're filling up a 25% occupancy,

that still doesn't help. Okay. So are they going to be adding? to the closures? Well, they're not closed now, right? So I don't know how that affects the Yelp numbers, but it really is, uh,

really is ugly. And it has got to stop. But it doesn't matter. You're going to have to wear a mask wherever you go, right? That's going to stay in play for a while. I mean, we talked about it this morning on Pat Show. I did my chewing the fat, uh,

segment, uh, Wednesdays, uh, for the, those of you listening live, it's Wednesday, the 16th of September 2020 on that Unleashed this morning. And during that program, we talked about Bill Gates. And what a, I mean, he's just a genius. Bill Gates. I mean, he's a billion. I mean, it's one of the richest guys in the world. So he's not a dummy.

I'm just, just, it kills me that now he hates, you know, the FDA. He wouldn't trust the CDC. We're all for the vaccine, but I don't necessarily trust him. you're the vaccine king in that interview though or talk whatever it was he talked about how he was pissed he and the wife

at President Trump for not giving the World Health Organization money for pulling back from them that's what he cares about really that's what he's mad about is that he has to give more how about you

take up the slack bill okay and the one clip I heard he must have said you know it just drove me insane about four or five times. In this one little 20, 30 second clip, you know, you know, you know, okay, you're smarter than that. I know you are. Stop saying it.

But anyway, we're back to the, you know, he's saying also in that same talk or interview that two years. Two years, 2022. Oh my gosh. You think 60% number? It'll be more than that. you'd be up to 95 to, you know, 95% of the businesses, shut down, gone. Have a nice day. So they're going to continue their mask mandate for the world.

Just be clear about that, right? I mean, there's no doubt about that. They just had the Paul Rudd commercial promo to millennials to wear masks. And it's supposed to be a humorous PSA. And it's kind of funny. I mean, Rudd is like in his 50s now, and he's saying that he's, you know, Cuomo called him and said he was a millennial,

and I didn't correct him. Kind of funny. But the rest of it is, well, I mean, I can play some of it for you. We're not doing the whole thing. It's like two minutes long. It's over two minutes long. So I'll play a couple.

I'll play the first little bit. You get a tease of it, and you can realize what you're missing. Okay? Or what you're not. Yo, what up, Dugs? Paul Rudd here, actor and certified young person. A few days ago, I was talking on the iPhone with my homie, Governor Cuomo,

and he's just going off about how us millennials need to wear masks. Because, get this, apparently a lot of COVID is transmitted by us millennials. No cap. So Quolams asked me, he's like, Paul, you got to help. What are you? Like, 26? And I didn't correct him. So fam, let's real talk.

Masks? They're totally beast. So slide that into your DMs in 20. Twitch it. Five check. We ask queens like ourselves. We want to go to bars. We want to drink.

Hook up. Do our TikToks. I get it. Okay. I can't anymore. But you get the idea of how important, how important masks are. And they're so important that we're now getting news that face masks could be giving people COVID-19 immunity.

So they're trying to be. make it so that wearing a mask is good things. So it says here mask wearing might also be reducing the severity of the virus and ensuring that greater proportion of new infections are asymptomatic. Okay. Because that's not what you said before. But of course, it doesn't matter what was said before. It's only matters what we said now because nobody really knows.

Although this was published in the New England Journal of Medicine and who doesn't, just just delve into every new edition of the New England Journal of Medicine. So they're talking about the theory that universal face mask wearing might be helping to reduce the severity of the virus and ensuring that a greater proportion of new infections are asymptomatic. The thing here is it's just a theory. if this hypothesis is born out well then universal mask wearing could become a form of inoculation that would generate immunity

and thereby slow the spread of the virus in the United States and elsewhere okay so if this theory this hypothesis is right yay everybody wear a mask until the end of time everybody wear a mask at the end of time, but it hasn't been proven. It's just an op-ed commentary in the New England Journal of Medicine. A hypothesis, a theory. I'll give you one too. I'll give you a, this is a chewing the fat theory.

A hypothesis. Either or, all right? Wearing a mask could make you sicker. I know. I know. It's hard to believe. it isn't proven. But now I haven't published this in the New England Journal of Medicine yet,

and I don't know that they would actually take my op-ed or my commentary in the New England Journal of Medicine. But I'm going to give you a hypothesis now that because so many people have been wearing masks and those people, you know, many people are still getting sick, I believe that masks are causing COVID-19 and maybe assist, and making the severity of COVID-19 worse than better. That's my hypothesis. So there you have it. You know, just when you think,

ah, you've got it figured out on how bad it's going to be. You hear something during the day that makes you go, hmm, huh, you know, I hadn't heard that, or I hadn't thought of that. Why hadn't I thought of that? So, I mean, we have the stories. You have the blackout going on, you know, the big stars. We have the hate for profit.

There's stop profit for hate campaign on Instagram and Facebook. And you have Zuckerberg in an interview, you know, last week, I think, that talked about how he was asked about conservative voices on the platform. And he said, I think it's just wrong to consider Facebook a right-wing echo chamber. Yeah, I think you're correct on that, Mark. But he said, even though conservative voices top the platform's most engaged content, huh. So that most engaged content, if it's not being demonetized by Facebook or Instagram,

is making everybody a whole lot of money, isn't it, Mark? And that's why the stop hate for profit is so strong right now, right? because they want to. They think that that's hate speech, and they want to shut people up. And you think, no, they're just doing that. It's just a random thing.

Okay. All right. If you believe that. I told you yesterday about the scientists, the scientists from China, who published a paper alleging COVID was created in the Wuhan lab. And we talked about how I thought that, well, duh,

we all knew that, even though, I don't know, it never has been factually proven, I guess, but she, you know, believes that it has and she believes that she had documents. Now, she didn't go so far as to say that it was released on purpose,

anything like that. It's just that they developed it in this lab in Wuhan. And, yeah, her Twitter account's been shut down. I know. And you think, oh, good, because hate speech like that, you don't want. Okay. So her Twitter account was growing like crazy after the video was released. She had grown like 60,000 followers in a couple of days.

And then it was suspended. So no problem. Now, there was really no justification from Twitter. I'm sure that they'll say it was, you know, well, it goes against our guidelines and that's just the way it is. All right. All right. You say so.

But that's what's going to happen, right? And that's what got me thinking about. I was listening to the guy on Glenn Beck Radio today. Michael Anton, Anton, the American Mind, the coming coup. I may have to talk to him. I mean, that guy was fascinating. but he talked about how all right so we've already got the discontent and whether we believe we've talked about it before whether you believe in the election and they're laying the groundwork for everyone not to believe the election and

you know Hillary's already said they shouldn't concede ever under any circumstance but when Trump says would you would you say if you lost would you take that for face value and he says I don't know I'd have to look at it. Oh my gosh, he wants to stay forever. But when Hillary says Biden should not accept the outcome, no matter what it is, ever, okay, you know, sure, that's okay. But he talked about how if it came down to a Biden winning and Trump saying, well, we're going to wait for a recount and we've got this stuff happening and this stuff happening, they're already laying the groundwork to suspend his account, right? Because they'll say that right now it looks as if, you know,

they'll say Joe Biden has won the election. That means that Donald Trump is illegitimate. And whatever he's tweeting is a lie. And we've shut him down. That could happen. I can see it happening, right? then you can see Facebook and Instagram and YouTube and Twitter, all the social media accounts.

Yep, he's a legitimate shutting him down. How does he communicate with the masses then? I don't know. I mean, he's still technically president, so can you do that? I mean, certainly they could. They could certainly make the argument, and they could do it as a mistake and then unsuspend him

after people went crazy. but it's definitely possible that it could happen. So how do you communicate with the masses? I think I have an idea on how he communicates with the masses. I hate to say it because, you know, just things come true. But he still will have access to the EMS, right, or the emergency broadcast system, the EBS, or whatever they call it now.

he still has access to that and he still has access because not long ago we all got a text message a presidential alert text message right the national wireless emergency alert system he still has access to that

right so we could all he could communicate with America that way I may make sure I mean if you did not get a an emergency alert message from the president two years ago two years ago now. Wow.

October 3rd, 2018, 118 p.m. The test of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. If you did not get that, make sure you're subscribed, although I think that's just your, I think that's just a system that is part of your cell service. So, I mean, he communicates that way then. And good luck trying to bypass that bad boy. Download and subscribe to more.

content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. All right. All right. Welcome to Chewing the Fat podcast. So I watched cuties. I did sit through cuties. It took everything I had to watch the entire movie. And not because of why you think.

The movie is just bad. It's not that good a movie. If I just sat down to watch it, Oh, it's in the top movies on Netflix, and, you know, I want to watch it. Oh, there it is. I got to push play. I would have made it through maybe the first 20 minutes, maybe. And I would have thought, no, I can't do it.

And I would have stopped. But since I wanted to watch it, and since there's such a huge debate behind it, and since it's all about pedophilia, people screaming about pedophilia, and wow about the pedophiles. and the senators want criminal investigations. And we got to boycott Netflix because they put this movie together. So I watch it.

And I force myself to get through it. All the way through it, beginning to end. So it's about a young girl caught between this, she's a Senegalese and she's living in France. And so it's between the, you know, the modern-day culture. of of France and you know her mom is you know their grandma you know the Sangalese so she's mad at her dad for bringing home another wife which is part of the culture and it's just you

know she's mad then she's mad at the world and then she's an 11 year old girl that's what they say who is struggling with becoming a woman and struggling with the clash of both cultures and trying to figure out now, that having been said. And then at the end, she's back to being, you know, wanting to be this little girl and be with the family and realizes, you know, maybe for a little while anyway what she thought she wanted, she doesn't want. Because she did everything to get to a certain point with this dance troupe, to have this dance competition. And then once she got to the dance competition, she realized that it wasn't what she wanted. and it was bad and she didn't like what she had to do to get there,

so she goes back home. And, you know, then she's, you know, I don't want to, you know, spoiler alert, but she's, you know, jump bromic at the end, out on the street and, you know, wanting to be a little girl again. So she's torn, she's at that age, like everyone is at one point in their life, where they're torn between being a little kid and growing older. I got you.

It was, you know, tough. Now, that having been said, definitely if you like little girls and you like little girls dancing trying to be provocative trying to be adult strippers dancers then you'll you know you're going to love this movie and it's going to it's going to make you excited because there's all you know there's quite a bit of it in the last half of the movie or so. I didn't see any nudity. There's a few underwear shots.

They tell you once that she takes a picture of her genitals on her phone and puts it out there and she gets beat up for it. I mean, beat up mentally for it. But you don't see it. I mean, you just know during the filming process of what she's doing. and what happens that that's what she did, but you don't see it. So, you know, if you want to boycott Netflix, you're, you know, you're more than welcome to boycott Netflix. You could do that any day.

And Netflix has already pulled movies before, thanks to social justice. So they're probably going to pull this too. You know, once after, I give it another week, maybe tops, and they'll pull it. But, I mean, it's, They should pull it because it's just a bad movie. And be, you know, they're happy that they got the promotion they got to get everybody watching this thing. Because otherwise they'd be watching it going, holy cow, this thing is bad. And it won like some award at Sundance for directors or producers, whatever it was.

I could look it up, but I don't care anymore. It's just, you know, are we going to, we want to, you know, have a criminal investigation into the movie. Okay. all right all right that's what I say to that all right and I see flooding

from Hurricane Sally who is making landfall right now is going to be actually the word that everyone is using and always loves to use during hurricanes catastrophic

it was moving so slow that it caused some serious wind and water damage and now that it's come on shore it's still moving slow and it's just going to leave incredible flooding some of the footage

was ugly, ugly. And I feel, you know, if you're in that path, you should already be out of the way, but get out and then come back later. And if you need help, mercury1.org will be there. And if you'd like to help in any way, you can go to mercury1.org and donate. And they will use 100% of that money toward whatever you donate it for, depending on what disaster is earmarked for what you give. That's what makes Mercury 1 different and better.

Mercury 1.org. You hear that sounder. That sounder means breaking news here on chewing the fat because when CTF records, news happens. Let's go to our man down on the street today to find out what our breaking news is. Jeff. Yeah. Hey, Jeff, I'm right here.

I'm in downtown Austin or actually just outside. of downtown Austin. Two cranes have collided and they're still okay. But if you can see behind me right now, there were eight ambulances responding. 16 people were taken to the hospital. There were a couple people that refused ambulances and that were fine. It doesn't look like there were any deaths. And the two cranes are still caught up, tied up. You can see if you look at the camera behind me, those two cranes are still caught up together with all those wires and stuff. So they're just telling people to stay back. I'm as close as they're letting me get right here.

And you can see that if the wind kicks up a little and believe me, there's plenty of wind here in Texas that, you know, we'd have all those cranes fall over and we wouldn't want any of that. So just, you know, breaking news here, there was a big crane accident as

they collided and got all tangled up with one another. And, you know, some people got hurt. There's like 20 people got hurt. So, you know, 22, actually, to be the exact count. What's that, Jeff? Well, I was just wondering why we don't have any footage of the crash. I see the crane behind you, but do you have a video of the crash?

No, I don't have any video of it at all. I'm just telling you what happened and all these people went to the news. You'll be hearing about it everywhere. But I wanted to have you hear about it first here on Chewing the Fat. Thanks, Jeff, back to you. No, no, no. Thank you. That's our breaking news on Chewing the Fat.

because when CTF records, news happens. When you hear this sounder, it's breaking news. So, I don't know if you congratulate the family of Brianna Taylor, but they got $12 million from Louisville Metro government. So I guess, you know, you say good. You don't congratulate them, but you say good. They got 12 million plus they got some other stipulations in the city. So, and it's more, I mean, the biggest pay out the city did back in the 2012 was 8.5 million.

And so Briano was, of course, shot and killed during the no-knock warrant in connection with narcotics investigation. Now, nobody talks about that her boy. friend or husband, boyfriend, uh, shot at the police when the police broke it. Now the police was a no knock warrant. And I, I realize all the ugly stipulations with it and what happened.

And, you know, the no knock warrant is a problem, which has been stopped now, thanks to this case. Uh, should have been stopped before. I'll grant you. But it was, it's such a bang, bang moment. and no one deserves to lose their life this way, that's for sure. But they settled with the family for $12 million. So my question is, do you congratulate the family?

Or do you just say good luck? Or love you? Not quite sure what you say to them. Because it'll never be enough for them, right? no matter what happens it'll never be enough but it'll help
