Starting point is 00:00:00 And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. You look marvelous. And I really do mean that. You look great. Don't let anyone in your life tell you you don't. I don't know how you smell because, you know, I can't. Well, I can't really smell you right now.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Ooh, is that an issue of COVID? No, it's just that we're, you know, going over the, podcast waves and I can't smell you. Today, if you're listening live, September 22nd, 2020, it's the first day of fall. Yay! Yes, the northern hemisphere has begun. It's autumn equinox.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Yes. Oh, such a wonderful thing. I have one question. As the first day of fall falls. In DFW, the metroplex where I reside, why can I not get Coca-Cola zero
Starting point is 00:01:07 in the regular-sized cans at Sam's Club or Walmart? What is going on? Do we have a Sam's Club Walmart fight going on with Coca-Cola? Because if we do, that is not acceptable. I will not have it. Only thing left at the local Walmart
Starting point is 00:01:27 yesterday was the little cans of Coca-Cola Zero, the 7.5 fluid-ounce cans of Coca-Cola Zero. Did I purchase them? You're darn right, I did. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. I want to talk a little bit about Amy Lucaine. She's an actress. She's been, you know, she was on Melrose Place, and she's been in several movies. And she has also been in...
Starting point is 00:02:02 prison for two and a half years and also served her, served her parole. Okay. So now, according to these headlines, which I will show you how wrong they are, says that she refuses to fully acknowledge her culpability in the crash. The crash killed 60-year-old Helene Seaman and severely injured Seaman's husband. State Superior Court Judge Angela Borkowski sentenced her to eight years in state prison. State law requires her to serve more than six before being eligible for parole. Okay. It was incredible that this happened since she's already served her time.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Okay. It also in this same story where they talk about her still refusing to fully acknowledge her culpability says she apologized to the family in a brief statement and then was placed in handcuffs and taken into custody by court deputies after the proceeding. Wow. And yet, we still say, she still refuses to fully acknowledge her culpability in the crash. Well, she said she was sorry, and she's paid her time and her debt to society.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Well, I guess that's not true. Okay? I guess that's not true. So last year, a different judge sentenced her to five years, but an appeals court ruled he didn't follow guidelines that it had set and ordered yet another sentencing. Her attorney argued, of course, unsuccessfully, that the sentencing her again would violate double jeopardy predictions.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Uh, yeah, since she's already completed her initial sentence and a parole term? Now, she wasn't indicted for drunk and driving by, but a state expert testified that her blood alcohol level was likely about three times the legal limit, and she was driving roughly, 53 miles an hour and a 35 at the time of the crash. The man, Fred, Seaman who nearly died of his injuries in the crash, attended the proceedings and said,
Starting point is 00:04:14 Lecane's shifting of blame shows contempt for this court and the jury that rendered the verdict. Okay. The judge, of course, took a similar view and said her past alcohol abuse makes her a risk of re-offending. Now, she hasn't had any alcohol abuse since this. All right,
Starting point is 00:04:33 not, and I am not condoning what she did. Uh, she made the conscious decision to drink. She continued to drink. She drove drunk. And that is wrong. We can all agree on that. Okay. She's taken full responsibility.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And the judge wouldn't take into effect that her current sobriety and her work counseling others against alcohol abuse. Okay. Now, has time to appeal this sentence, but she's still in custody right now. We're waiting to hear from the appeal about the double jeopardy question. According to witnesses, she consumed several drinks before she headed home on the night of the accident, slammed in the Siemens car as it turned into the driveway in this was in New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Now, the actress contended a third motorist whose car, Locaine, had bumped into at a traffic light minute's early distracted her by honking at and chasing her. Okay, so. And that's what they decided. So? All right? Okay. Now, the appellate court ruled that the actress must be sentenced for a third time on charges of vehicular homicide and assault by auto in connection with the death in 2010, saying that her sentence was excessively lenient.
Starting point is 00:05:59 The appellate court ruled that the third sentencing must be performed by. a new judge because Superior Court Judge Robert Reed, who presided over the trial and the first two sentencings, did not follow the appellate court's ruling after the county prosecutor's office appealed successfully the first sentencing as being too lenient. And the appellate court wrote that Reed and sentencing locale in a second time to the same sentence as the first time acted contrary to our decision. Now, when he recently, sentence, Locaine. He said there's no legitimate reason to send Lucaine back to prison other than retribution. Uh, yeah. He said, while I respect the ruling of the court, I'm disappointed and disagree
Starting point is 00:06:47 with the judge's decision, and we will examine all available legal options to challenge today's decision. Her behavior since the crash, so she's not a danger to society. All right, since her released from prison, she has experienced a... you know, all her triggers. She's estranged from her husband and separation from her children that, you know, was a part of the reason that led her to drink. She's passed all the alcohol and drug screenings during her parole. She lives a sober life.
Starting point is 00:07:21 All right. Now, and nobody is downplaying the seriousness of what happened, but she's done her time. The jury found her guilty of second degree vehicular homicide. she was acquitted of a more serious charge of aggravated manslaughter, an offense that would have netted her up to 30 years in prison. She was found guilty of assault by auto, drunken driving, leaving the scene of an accident,
Starting point is 00:07:48 and reckless driving. Okay. The original decision, the appellate panel wrote, is anyone convicted of second degree vehicular homicide must serve a minimum of three years in prison, even if sentenced as a third-degree offender. And the sentence immediately drew fire from, the prosecutor's office and the family.
Starting point is 00:08:08 She admitted she was intoxicated after drinking. This is how mad of a horrible person she is, and this is what took place in the trial. And I'm just amazed at this story about Amy Lucaine. And I have no connection with her other than just the story of what happened to her. And this proves what kind of horrible person she was. She admitted she was intoxicated after drinking about two or three cups of wine, then got into her own vehicle to drive home.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Worst mistake of her life, she's even said that. Should not have done it. During the barbecue, one of the people at the barbecue said that he heard Locaine yell an expletive with earshot of her children and did not appear to be sorry she had done so. Oh my gosh. What a horrible person. She also saw her trip on one of the children. He saw her trip on one of her children as they were trying to cling to her leg.
Starting point is 00:09:02 She was holding a glass of wine, and she kind of giggled about it rather than take care of her kid. Wait. That means that she's a bad person? Okay. All right. So seven years after she was involved in this fatal car accident, the parties in a federal lawsuit have reached out of court settlement for $4.8 million. So the family's already got almost $5 million. Nothing replaces a life.
Starting point is 00:09:31 no question, but that's already done, right? They've already settled that. That was through an insurance company and who had hosted a barbecue earlier in the day of the family. The insurance company of the family that had hosted the barbecue in Princeton, where she was drinking. Okay. Now, remember the headline, Amy LeCone still refuses to fully acknowledge her culpability in the crash that killed 60-year-old Hilling Seaman. and severely injured Siemens' husband. Well, they settled for $4.8 million.
Starting point is 00:10:06 That was, apparently, that was enough to acknowledge. She told Entertainment Weekly that the 2010 accident was the biggest mistake of her life. She was trying to make the situation better by talking to students about the dangers of driving intoxicated. She joined AA and has remained sober since. So she has taken responsibility. And she apologized. I don't know what more she was supposed to do. I guess get down on her knees and beg for forgiveness.
Starting point is 00:10:44 She was sentenced to prison. She was sentenced to three years in prison with parole. She talked about being in prison, how dehumanizing it was. And that's, you know, of course. I mean, that's, you're in prison. It's a horrible, horrible thing. She talked about having to take a shower with 60 other women, no privacy. Guards went through her mail.
Starting point is 00:11:07 She couldn't keep cards. And she has very little memory of the accident, bits and pieces, because she was really drunk. Right. Now, they talked about the accident and what happened afterward. And one of the people that were there, the police officer and one of the EMS guys said that Lucaine with a smile spread across her face, got out of the SUV, spun around, and fell back into the ditch.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Okay. I don't know that she was a smile, but she was really drunk. She said one of the EMS officers was a friend. And so she was, you know, of course she's drunk. So she said, hi. And at that time,
Starting point is 00:11:48 she didn't know that there had been any kind of horrible human accident, right? She knew she was in an accident. It's just incredible. So they found her guilty And she was sentenced to prison for three years She served two and a half years Released in 2015
Starting point is 00:12:07 Did her parole Got it over Okay And now They say that's not enough And they put her back into jail Just That cannot stand
Starting point is 00:12:25 Right that cannot stand. I mean you've been tried and convicted and sentenced, served your time, full time, you served your time in prison and parole time, all the way it was supposed to have been done. You settled financially with the family, and now they're making you go back to jail. That is un-American.
Starting point is 00:12:54 I don't believe it. It's hard for me to believe that this actually took, place in America. Just amazing. Anyway, I've had this story stuck in my craw, or in my cockles for the last few days. I just, I can't believe it that this happened in America. But maybe, you know, if you're an attorney, I probably, you know, okay, talk to me. Tell me, Chewing the fat at the blaze.com, email me and let me know WTF, because I don't buy it.
Starting point is 00:13:29 You're supposed to serve your time, get out, and you're supposed to be done with it. And there's other issues surrounding that that I have a problem with, too. The non-voting, the getting a job, that kind of thing is really another thing that sticks in my craw from time to time. Because you go to jail, you serve your time, you get out. That's supposed to be it. But we don't believe in that anymore. But now we don't even believe in going to jail, serving your time. and getting out, and then we're unhappy with how much time you got.
Starting point is 00:14:03 So we're going to throw you back in jail? No. No, no, no, no, no. That is un-American. That cannot stand. Thanks for listening to Chewing the Fat here on the Blaze Podcast Network. you probably heard about, well, if you didn't, you're hearing about it now.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Facebook and the Blaze have been at Battle over publishing. Facebook, you know, is ready to demonetize the Blaze and stop sharing the Blaze stories. So if you, you know, if you are following the Blaze on Facebook, you won't see the stories, you know, the shadow banning that takes place. It's just incredible unless you go to the specific, site. You won't see anything. You won't see it on your timeline. I mean, they do that with your friends as well. It's really, really ridiculous how Twitter and Facebook does that. Facebook does it
Starting point is 00:15:12 even more. I mean, they, you know, if you haven't heard from someone in a while, they stop showing their posts. Well, the point is, is I follow someone or like their page. I want to see their posts when they post it. If they don't post something, then I won't see it. I, We've been down this road before. And then we also have, so we have that battle going on. You know, we have the battle. That's Blaze and Facebook.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Twitter is really on a track of shadow banning and shutting down accounts for, you know, false information. Well, you know, guess what? I mean, why doesn't Twitter just say, do your own homework? I mean, we're past that. I know. I understand that, but I just wish that these companies would just say, do your own homework. Guess what?
Starting point is 00:16:04 Everything you see here may not be true or real. You have to decide. Personal responsibility. It's America. I mean, I know that. No, I know I'm kidding myself. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:16:21 And then we had the story with Joe Rogan and Spotify. apparently Spotify staffers are a little upset that they have to put Joe Rogan podcast up without being able to edit without being able to put content flags, trigger warnings, references to fact-checked information, or whether they decide, you know what, we're just not going to post that episode at all.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Oh, okay. I would have thought that Joe would have have, really put that in part of his deal. And maybe he did. Maybe this is, you know, maybe this is just employees all wound up that he got a $100 million deal from the company.
Starting point is 00:17:05 And Spotify's like, that's not who we really are. And the, you know, the head of Spotify's like, yeah, it is. We like people to come here. That's the deal. Not everybody could be Michelle Obama. And we don't care about that.
Starting point is 00:17:18 What we care about is bringing people to the platform. That's the idea. get it Spotify staffers that's what pays your bills anyway they and remember
Starting point is 00:17:32 we talked about the we touched on Alex Jones not coming over when they moved everything over to Spotify's platform so you know
Starting point is 00:17:42 that's where you get the Joe Rogan experience on Spotify exclusively and he claims that you know it's still up on his YouTube page but Alex Jones
Starting point is 00:17:52 Milo Yanopold as Gavin McGuinness, all missing episodes as they, you know, as they came over and started putting the old interviews and shows up on Spotify. So I don't know what's going to happen there. I mean, does Joe Walk? Does Spotify say, yes, keep the employees? I mean, it's really, really, really strange. The Spotify staffers, you know, they're stepping up demands. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:18:28 You work for this company. Just do your jobs. It's just amazing what is going on in what used to be America. So, and now, you know, they're all pissed because Rogan came out. He shouldn't have done it. He should not have done it. But he felt the need to do it where he came out and apologized for, you know, he did his retraction on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:18:53 saying that, you know, in his last podcast, he said something about, they arrested people for lighting forest fires. They arrested left-wing people for lighting these forest fires, air quote, activists, this stuff isn't widely being reported. Now, he came out and said, I said something on the podcast about people getting arrested for lighting fires. I got duped. It was wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Okay. So, you know what? instead of saying it on his next podcast and saying, hey, you know, what I said last time, you know, he came out and he apologized. Okay. No problem. You know, I got it.
Starting point is 00:19:33 But the staffers are like, we should edit that and get rid of those and cut that section out and inform people. And, oh, no. I know that's maybe what Facebook and Twitter would do. But, you know, I don't. understand how people don't understand that it's you that matters. You.
Starting point is 00:20:07 It's very hard for me to believe that people cannot take their own responsibility. Now, Joe did. You know, we'll say that. Let's, you know, as I back up a little bit. Look, he said something that he thought was wrong. He came out afterward and said, you know what? I was wrong. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:20:22 You know, a dumb. I didn't do my own homework. talk about doing my own homework. You know, I was stupid. Okay, great. Thank you. Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Because if I had been listening, I may have said, I don't know that that's true. I don't think that's true. Or is that all true? You know, maybe it's mostly true or mostly false. But that'd be called doing my own homework.
Starting point is 00:20:49 And that's silly. It was silly when I could just count on Facebook and Twitter. and Spotify now to go through and tell me what's right and what's wrong. That's great. Yeah, that's great. Oh, it's just... We are in an agonizing place. We are in an agonizing place.
Starting point is 00:21:13 All right. I got to go to the break room. I need something to drink even if it is a 7.5 ounce can. It's still cold and it's refreshing. Oh my gosh. It is still cold and refreshing. That, my friend, is a fact. As long as we're in the break room,
Starting point is 00:21:34 the question I asked yesterday, how about those Emmys? How about those Emmys? I'm not going to break down. We broke down the shows and everything yesterday. You can go back and listen to yesterday's podcast if you want to get, you know, the winners and the shows that won
Starting point is 00:21:49 and my recap of the show. But I would just want, there's a couple other stories that I didn't get to. One, I couldn't because they hadn't released it, the numbers all-time low viewing. Doesn't surprise me. Nielsen said 6.1 million people watched the Emmys on Sunday night. Wow.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Last year, they thought it was horrible when it was 6.9 million viewers watching the Emmys. That should tell you something. Because what was it? Seven years ago, 2013, they had 17.6 million viewers. That's, you know, 2013, not a bad year for TV. Things were really looking up, right? We started adding all kinds of new shows.
Starting point is 00:22:35 There were a lot of cool things happening. And then we had to, you know, get to that social justice going on. And sure, there was NFL on and sure there was basketball on. But, you know, the pandemies, as Jimmy Kimmel wanted to call them, weren't that good. Weren't that good. There could have been a, I mean, was a better way, I think.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Look, they didn't call me. They should have. I would have helped them produce it. And, you know, I could have helped them produce a lot better show. So, Emmys, call me, or just email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com and we'll get this thing worked out for you. Because I got news for you. It ain't going to get better, even when it's not a pandemic.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Okay? When you can all get together and pat each other on the ass and feel good about each other, people still aren't going to watch because your whole social justice thing ain't good. Okay? You know, just be happy for the audience. Be happy for the shows and leave
Starting point is 00:23:38 your opinions at home. This pandemic, I mean, they should have partnered with, and I hate to say this, but they should have partnered with like Instagram and just you know, showed shots of the stars from their Instagram accounts and then just gone to them live. They could have recorded it
Starting point is 00:23:54 early. They knew, they didn't know who the winners were going to be, but they knew who they were going to speak to. Just, anyway, I dig her. I don't want to give many ideas because then they, you know, they get my ideas for free and I don't want that. Then we could talk about that. I meant to talk about these two things yesterday and I didn't get to them. The, uh, in-memorium segment, uh, with, uh, Grammy-winning artist, her.
Starting point is 00:24:19 She was actually really good. And she has a great voice and it was really, really good. She started with the Prince's Nothing. compares to you. And it was really good. No question about it. But she, and then she stepped away and they had Chadwick Boseman, of course. And, you know, they had all the people that passed away this past year.
Starting point is 00:24:42 And it was, it was really nice. They did forget Kelly Preston, weird. And they did forget Olivia de Havelin, weird. Just a couple of big stars that, ah, just, you know, we didn't get to it. Yeah, no, we didn't get to it. Oh. Okay. No problem.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Now, I wonder what the generic excuses that they use every year when they forget someone in memoriam. They had plenty of time for those executives. I don't know how many were in the montage of the in-memorium, but there were a number of executive. And I thought, oh, okay, great, no problem. I mean, I'm sorry they died. I'm real sorry that they passed away. I don't want anybody to die.
Starting point is 00:25:38 And I'm sure that all the people in the TV industry know who executive is and or was. But I just, you know, they've got to have their generic excuse. and their generic excuse has got to be it's time constraints. We wanted to get to everything, but we just couldn't. And of course, highlighted on the Emmy's website,
Starting point is 00:26:06 they acknowledge that not every celebrity who has died this year would be featured in their tribute. It's time constraints. Of course. Of course it is. And they went through a thing of what people have been doing
Starting point is 00:26:20 during the pandemic and they had those stars you know at home and they were you know trying to be funny and working on their flower garden drinking and cutting you know cutting flowers
Starting point is 00:26:32 and growing and drinking and party whatever it was a cute little thing it was a cute idea I don't know that it worked as well as it should have uh it could have been better but
Starting point is 00:26:44 uh Bob Newhart made an appearance now I you know I love Bob Newhart I got no problem with Bob Newhart except that Bob is 91 years old now. That alone isn't a bad thing
Starting point is 00:26:59 but he did not look great. Still look like he kind of look like Bob Newhart? But you may have said you know what Bob
Starting point is 00:27:15 we love you maybe we let that go. Maybe we let that go. I don't know. I don't know how you decide, how you tell Bob Newhart, you know, no, the guy's, you know, incredible and he's done, you know, huge things for television.
Starting point is 00:27:31 And, you know, he's the guy, right? He's one of the guys. So you got to put him in the deal. But he did not look like the spry 91-year-old that you would hope he would look like. Let's just leave it at that. I love you, Bob. But you did not come.
Starting point is 00:27:47 come off as the spry 91-year-old that we were all hoping to see. And a couple quick entertainment update, and I said they should partner with Instagram, and then I go to a story from a post from Christian Bale on his Instagram account, and the post is, if you have a problem with me, call me. If you don't have my number, then that means you don't know me well enough to have a problem. Well, Kristen, you know, that's kind of, I know you're trying to be kind of funny, and, you know, maybe a little bit of loof that, you know, fans don't like your beliefs. How about you just don't say anything at all?
Starting point is 00:28:30 Doing this is just your passive-aggressive way of telling people to F off and you're going to do what you want to do and you're going to say what you want to say. We all know that. Okay, we got it. And just because we don't have your phone number to give you a call, doesn't mean we can't have a problem with you. you since you like to shoot off the mouth and tell everybody how you feel. So that's, you get to have a problem with people that want to be out there in the public eye.
Starting point is 00:28:54 That's just the way it is. But it's okay, Christian. I got you, babe. Don't worry about it. I'm with you. And it's also being reported that Tom Hardy, Tom Hardy is going to be the next James Bond. That's going to be a different James Bond. I like Tom Hardy.
Starting point is 00:29:12 He's been in some, I mean, he's been in some great stuff. he's done some really good things. A lot of his work is really good. Especially, I mean, Picky Blinders and Taboo and, you know, he was in Capone. I don't know if you know, Capone was,
Starting point is 00:29:26 you know, and, you know, he's been in the Reverend and Mad Max and stuff. I like Tom Hardy. I like his work. But as the new James Bond, that's a,
Starting point is 00:29:41 I'm looking forward to seeing if he can pull that off. And that's a that's a new James Bond. All right. Remember, I try to keep away from politics and, you know, I try to do find some fun stories and try to, you know, just, just kind of loosen it up a little bit. We all get hammered so much. But I just want to, you know, do some headlines that you should know, but you don't want to. I get it. But you should know.
Starting point is 00:30:08 So it's going to go through these headlines and, you know, you should know, but, you know, you don't want to. Governor DeSantis in Florida proposes new law cracking down on looters and violent protesters. Anyone found guilty of throwing objects at police and law enforcement officers would be subject to a minimum six-month jail sentence. It also imposes felony penalties for protesters who block roadways, topple monuments, or harass people. That's, you know, being proposed. That is not a rule or a law yet. The Department of Justice released details on why three U.S. cities were designated anarchist jurisdictions.
Starting point is 00:30:47 They identified these cities as being cities that permitted extremist violence and destruction of property to continue while taking action to stop criminal acts. New York City, Portland, Seattle, anarchist jurisdictions. Louisville Police declare a state of emergency as the city braces for Brianna-Taylor decision. Oh, that's Brianna. Not Brianna. I got it. The grand jury decision is expected soon over whether to charge.
Starting point is 00:31:14 the three Louisville officers who fired shots during a March raid on Taylor's apartment. Nebraska Democrats smears veteran who committed suicide as white supremacists after alleged self-defense shooting. No evidence needed. We're just going to say, hey, he committed suicide. You know, white supremacist ties. He shot a black man who had been allegedly attacking his business.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Eh, doesn't matter. 87% of NYC bars, restaurants couldn't make August rent. Survey found that the New York City restaurants, bars, and nightlife venues could not pay their full rent, 87%. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:53 NYC restaurants consider the 25% indoor cap Armageddon. Yeah, we talked about that already. And we talked about how bad that really is for the restaurants. And, you know, the Yelp deal, right?
Starting point is 00:32:09 60% are gone for good. Sure, some of them are going to come back. For sure. but just, you know. Anyway, these are headlines that you should know, but you don't want to know. And the probe of the Jeffrey Epstein flight logs causing panic among elites, according to this headline.
Starting point is 00:32:30 The top prosecutor in the U.S. Virgin Islands is seeking more than 20 years of flight logs from Jeffrey Epstein's fleet, and it stirred up quite the panic about menning of the rich and famous, according to a new report. So there's that to look forward to. Be sure to

Starting point is 00:38:16 Sure, that's happening. Sure, the Prime Minister of Britain is urging Britain's to go back to working from home.

Starting point is 00:38:35 But, but, Ruth Bader Ginsburg died. And we need a new Supreme Court justice.

Starting point is 00:39:01 and arrangements are going to be allowed for a public viewing despite the pandemic. I'm guessing that if you go to Ginsburg's to see her lying in repose, that you can, there's no way possible. Coronavirus will stay away.
Starting point is 00:39:23 So she arrives tomorrow, Wednesday, the 23rd of September. She's going to be lie and repose at the Supreme Court building on the steps for an outdoor public viewing. Okay.

I have, I've been amazed the last few days how just, it's just billions. It doesn't mean any. It doesn't mean anything. It's not like millions. Billions is what used to be millions. And millions, nothing.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Now, for you and me, uh, yeah, a million dollars would be nice to have. But for those people, a million is nothing. All right. So yesterday it was announced that Microsoft's Xbox team. uh significantly expanded its game development studios they purchased xenamax media which owns um bethsda bethsda makes fallout games and uh the elder scrolls it also owns the id software known for doom and rage and the wolfstein shooting game franchises i mean it was a big deal my son was you know, all into it yesterday as, you know,
Starting point is 00:41:42 Bethesda, you know, was sold Zenimax to Microsoft. Now, according to Microsoft, you know, they now have 23 development studios up from 15, giving it, I mean, the game, the most popular franchises Microsoft now owns. And according to Microsoft, which, you know, a lot of people were worried about is that Bethesda, you know, they are a strong, strong company.
Starting point is 00:42:09 they are going to be given its own division and with leadership and structure intact. So they're going to, you know, Microsoft claims now that it's going to be, you know, still Bethesda, it's fine, we're just, we're just taking over. Okay, still same people. Okay, we'll see how that works. I've been through a couple of those takeovers like that. And in the beginning, it seems to be the same. And that it's not.
Starting point is 00:42:35 But they paid 7.5. billion dollars in cash. If you were a Zenimax guy or woman or person or whatever you identify as yesterday, you were a happy, happy person. 7.5 billion dollars in cash. I know. That's my point. It's just millions.
Starting point is 00:43:14 forget it, but billions, no problem. And I've been stuck on this billion thing because, you know, last week I watched the football game from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, a brand new SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. And they made such a bad, and it's beautiful, it's a beautiful stadium, beautiful. $5.5 billion. Now, I can't. I mean, I'm just, it's just amazing to me how that stadium could be $5.5 billion.
Starting point is 00:43:44 because you look last night, watched the Monday night game, played in Vegas at Allegiance Stadium, brand new stadium. In fact, they, you know, they both opened this year, Allegiant and SoFi, right? And Allegiant started, in fact, a year later,
Starting point is 00:44:01 or, you know, in 2017, you know, approximately a year later than when they started, Sofi, took them a little bit longer to build the 5.5 billion stadium. Allegiant, they spent, according to this, 1.9 billion. I had read 1.5 billion. six, eight billion or something like that, but under two billion for Allegiance Stadium.
Starting point is 00:44:21 And they're not even letting fans in. No fans this season at all. They made a big deal about that last night. The owner was like, yeah, no fans at all this season. We're not going to have 25%. I don't want little stragglers. I don't want to pick and choose. We're next year, it'll be open back up and I want this thing packed.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Okay. All right. So they spent, it's still under $2 billion, right? MetLife Stadium built about 10 years ago, in 2007, which, wow, it's like 13 years ago. 1.7 billion, right? Mercedes in Atlanta, that was three years ago, 1.5 billion. Okay. Wembley Stadium, London, 1.5 billion.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Yankee Stadium in 2006, it opened in 2009, actually. 1.5 billion and AT&T here in Dallas, Arlington, Texas, $1.48 billion. Now, how does so far, how do you make that jump for over three and a half, 3.6 billion, 3.5, 3.6 billion, something like that, over almost 4 billion. But you know what? We'll go low. We'll undercut. $3 billion more for SoFi Stadium. I don't know how you get there.
Starting point is 00:45:50 It's just incredible. I don't know if they have, I know two teams are supposed to play there. The Rams and the Chargers are supposed to play in this stadium. Do they have separate locker rooms for each team? Probably. Do they have separate locker rooms for each visiting team? If you're there to play the Rams, you go over there.
Starting point is 00:46:08 If you're there to play the Chargers, you go over there. I mean, they, obviously, I don't know. I don't know how you get. from just under $2 billion for this Allegiance Stadium to over $3 billion more in L.A. I mean, wow. I know the property, all right, the property values are, you know, a big difference.
Starting point is 00:46:33 So far was built on, I don't know, 160 acres or something like that, which is, you know, that's a lot of money in L.A. That was the old racetrack and it's in a prime location. I get it. but is that $3 billion more? I mean, Allegiant is in Vegas, in Las Vegas,
Starting point is 00:46:51 and it was built on, what was Allegiant? I mean, Allegiant was built on, what, 60 acres, something like that? And it's $2 billion?
Starting point is 00:47:01 So, yeah, 62 acres for Allegiant. I was reading all about these stadiums the other day, because I was just amazed at this song. How? How? Can it go to be $5.5 billion?
Starting point is 00:47:16 And I said 162 acres. I apologize. I apologize. All right. I don't want to have to go on Instagram and apologize for being wrong. It's on 298 acres in L.A. I get it. I know.
Starting point is 00:47:29 It's just this prime property, but five billion, over $5 billion for the stadium. I mean, they've got to have, it's got to be a city underneath. Maybe Elon has built the city underneath. Or he's, that's going to be the, that's going to be the, that's going to, be the underground garage for his cars traveling in the tunnels i don't know i don't know how you get there i don't know how it just boggles my mind but it also goes back to i mean it's it's hard for me to believe i mean it's hard for me to believe and i don't know how to how to get there and you know because i'm a bum and you know i'm living in a trailer like you i mean those of you don't live in a
Starting point is 00:48:05 trailer you live in a nice house and i'm in a trailer but you know i got a porch anyway the i just i can't wrap my arms around billions, right? I mean, a company gets purchased for $7.5 billion. Cash. And we're building stadiums for billions of dollars. And one stadium makes the jump from two to over $5 billion. I mean, I remember I was living in Tampa. I don't know if you know this.
Starting point is 00:48:33 I lived in Florida for a while. And they had such a big deal over building the new Raymond James Stadium that the Bucks play in. You know, that stadium has got to be a dump now. A dump. It's, I mean, just a dump. It was built back in, Raymond James was built in 19. It was opened, open, opened in 1998.
Starting point is 00:48:54 I remember when it was being built. I remember going, I remember parking when construction had just started for Raymond James. We were still going to events at the big sombrero. And, you know, they were just, they got to go ahead. They were breaking ground. They were building Raymond James Stadium. And it cost one. $168.5 million.
Starting point is 00:49:17 $168.5 million. That was in 1999 or, you know, 96 when they broke ground. So we'll just say 1998, right? And in today's money, they're saying that's $264 million. Okay. All right. $264 million. In 2019 money, because that's not today's money.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Today's money, it's got to be $300 million. So even we'll give them that. Let's say Raymond James is worth $300 million. million right now. All right. That ain't 5.5 billion, my friends. And that means that Raymond James is a dump. And it's not a dump. It's a nice stadium. But I mean, it's not 5.5 billion. I just, it's not 7.5 billion. I don't know how you do it. I want to say, I'd like to see the breakdown. And of course, they're going to send it to me. I'll get the complete breakdown. And I'll believe it. what they said to me,
Starting point is 00:50:14 I'll believe what they sent to me is true, but somebody has got to be, there's got to be some cash going to somebody's pocket somewhere, and it's got to go here and there and everywhere because I don't know how you make that jump. I don't know how you make that jump, but sure is pretty. Sure is purdy.
Starting point is 00:50:42 Sure is Purdy. Speaking of being Purdy, that was Jill Biden, being Prudy, back in 1972. He claims that they met Joe and Jill got together on a blind date, and it was after Jill had been divorced from her husband, Bill, and they got together, and it was wonderful, and he'd been dealing, remember, with the trauma of losing his first wife and a child in the crash, and it was so horrible. according to Bill, Jill's
Starting point is 00:51:16 ex, that's not really true. Joe was having an affair with Jill prior to them getting a divorce. In fact, that's what probably, you know, helped along the divorce is that Jill was, you know, taking care of a little business with Joe on the side.
Starting point is 00:51:35 You know, isn't a big deal? It is when he lies about it. You know, instead of saying, we met and I've begged for forgiveness I shouldn't have done it. We went out on some dates, you know, whatever. I mean, I get it.
Starting point is 00:51:50 It happens. Should you have an affair with someone else's wife? No. Does it happen? Of course it does. But he claims he was going somewhere. He owned a bar and he introduced Joe to Jill back in 69. And now he says his buddy,
Starting point is 00:52:08 he was out doing business out of state. And his buddy said, said his wife's Corvette that she loved, Jill's Corvette, was in this accident, and it wasn't her that was driving. It was Joe. So, and that, in fact, is what made them, made him say, get out. So is it a big deal? I don't know. This guy wants to sell his book.
Starting point is 00:52:36 I know. He's talking a book. He probably needs a little money. You know, so would it be a fun? Would it be fun to talk to Bill Stevenson? Jill's ex-husband? Yeah. Yeah, it would.
Starting point is 00:52:46 It'd be fun to talk to him and hear him, you know, beat up Joe Biden and blow, as he puts it, below the lid off this sham story. But we already know Joe's dead sham stories is in the whole life. We don't even know if Joe remembers the real story now, right? I mean, he might actually believe the lies that he's been telling all this time. Yeah, it was a blind date. It was fine. all right all right no problem we all know the truth Joe it's okay I don't know why it's such a big
Starting point is 00:53:21 deal but it is because you know you broke up a marriage and you know your wife had just passed away so it didn't matter to you right you just wanted to have a woman in your life so I guess that makes it okay right right
