Way back in the month of June and who even remembers that far back, Eskimo Pie by dryers said that they were going to, a vow to change the name for racial equality.
Starting point is 00:00:36 And they said that they're committed to being part of the solution on racial equality and recognize that the term Eskimo Pi is derogatory. Is it? But I digress because they have now fixed the problem. They announced that they're changing the name. of Eskimo Pie ice cream bars to Edie's Pie. Solved. Solved.
Starting point is 00:01:13 We had to make a big deal about that. We had to make a big press conference about that because we want to make sure that everybody knows racial inequality is solved. Because Eskimo Pie is now Edie's Pie. Congratulations. relations, Edie's. You've solved all racial inequality by naming your ice cream bar. After your founder, one of their founders, Joseph Edie, and I wouldn't want you to, you know,
Starting point is 00:01:49 but they're not going to make it any different. It's still a chocolate coated ice cream bar. And sure, its new name is only going to happen, you know, sometime next year, because you couldn't replace Eskimo with Edies today. That would just be dumb. The machines couldn't do that in today's world. Like one day changed the word Eskimo to Edie's? No, you can't do that. So sometime next year, racial inequality will be solved.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Well, it's solved now because they said they're going to change it. But it will be officially solved when the container holding the chocolate-coated ice cream bar will say E.D.'s pie instead of that god-awful Eskimo pie. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Did you know that our brains are not designed to remember pain accurately? It's a kind of biological defense mechanism that allows us to live better lives. It helps mothers willing to undergo childbirth more than once.
Starting point is 00:03:07 It keeps you from remembering the agonizing time when you fell out of the tree and broke your leg or smashed your head against the car door. The best thing about pain aside from learning to live from it is when it goes away. But it doesn't go away for some of us. Believe me, for some of us, the pain is a daily thing, and it's a constant reminder that life and your body can hurt and be really hard. So if you're suffering from chronic pain, what kind of price would you pay on making it go away? No, I'm not the guy on the street corner. I'm me, Jeff Fisher, chewing the fat.
Starting point is 00:03:46 What price would you put on making it go away for a loved one? There is no price, right? Well, I've got a price for you that will make it start going away right now. 1995 for a three-week quick start. How's that sound? Right, I know. Relief factor. 1995 for a three-week quick start and get yourself out of pain.

I don't know, probably till the end of the year anyway. They're dying on the vine with no new movies coming in.
Starting point is 00:09:44 The Hollywoodist postponing release dates and filming dates for big movies and new movies altogether. So 40,000 regal employees across the U.S. now face a work furlough. Wow. More than 5,000 employees in the UK also going to be affected. Wow. Now, they were closer to Geneva, so some of those might actually go to Geneva. I don't know if the people in the U.S. will think about going to Geneva, but it wouldn't be a bad idea. Wow.
Starting point is 00:10:20 So their stock prices are, you know, completely down to nothing. I mean, okay, good luck. God bless. I realize we're in a tough spot, but, you know, we're talking about, New York City, temporarily closing schools and in certain zip goes. Diplasia was just shutting down things again in neighborhoods. In Paris, they're ordering bars to close in the next two weeks. Look, and I saw the, I dislike the governor of New York, Governor Cuomo, so much. and now he's going to go after churches and synagogues and close them down at some point,
Starting point is 00:11:10 at some point, specifically here in America, maybe not around the world, but specifically here in America, when, and I know this is a question that is a question for the ages, and I don't know that anyone has an answer, and some people will say now, and others will say, I don't know, next month after the election, first of the year. I don't know when. But at some point, there has to be a resounding,
Starting point is 00:11:40 how about no? People have to survive. They have to have work. They have to have jobs. Businesses need to be open. Families need to survive. At some point, we need a resounding, how about no?
Starting point is 00:12:02 In fact, that should be my campaign. I may run for office. And just that's my campaign. How about no? We can't, that just can't happen. It just can't happen. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:12:12 It just can't happen. Here are the guidelines that will hopefully keep you safe. We can't promise you're going to be safe, although that's what they're saying. We can't, we're not going to open everything back up until we know everybody can be safe. When is that? The answer is never.
Starting point is 00:12:29 And we're pissed at the president for trying to tell us, keep your chin up, keep working. Things are going to be fine. Don't, you know, don't be scared, but be, you know, it's serious, but don't be scared. You can't just hole up and forget your life. I just, how about no? This message was approved by Jeff Fisher. Vote for me.
Starting point is 00:12:55 How about no? Okay, so another story that happened way back in June. Again, wow, way back in June. I mean, I can't even remember that far back. So Aletha Bernstein told police someone sprayed lighter fluid on her and set her on fire. Horrible. Horrible. And one of the men, four people, were there, yelled a racial epitat at her.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Okay? And she was horrified. And the incident was insane. She was interviewed on Good Morning America. Megan Markle, Prince Harry, reached out. I know, I know. Madison and Dan County officials also condemned the attack,
Starting point is 00:13:54 calling it horrifying, absolutely unacceptable crime, which it is. I know, which is, you know, may have been premeditated crime targeted toward people of color. Because four white guys walking around this city late at night at 12.30 at the morning, They're just going to, oh, look, there's a black girl who's being called biracial. Let's just spray lighter fluid on her and set her on fire.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Okay, let's do that. Well, yeah, the police department has now closed the case. Now, this is October now, right? So they've closed the case after an exhaustive probe. We've used all these detectives, all these police officers, because they were unable to corroborate or locate evidence consistent with what was reported. So we're not saying you're lying. We're just saying we can't prove what happened.
Starting point is 00:15:02 So there's no charges. They're not recommending she be charged with obstructing an officer, which she should be, which can apply in cases in which a person makes a, false police report. So they don't want to do that. Because if they do that, that means she's lying. This way, it just means, oh, well, we couldn't prove it.
Starting point is 00:15:23 So she is able to still say, I was attacked. I was attacked. Oh, okay. So they couldn't find anything that proved her case. In fact, they looked at video footage before and after the time that she claimed she was attacked and there was her car but nobody around it oh okay they did i mean there's a couple of intersections where she was at yep there's her car nope um no nobody was there was there no problem oh okay they reviewed 17 city cameras no groups of white bales matching bernstein's descriptions
Starting point is 00:16:11 They didn't find any fire damage in the car. She said, remember, they sprayed lighter fluid on her, set her on fire. And a dog trained to sniff out accelerants did not find evidence of them in the car. The analysis of the shirt she was wearing at the time of the attack did turn up some evidence of a medium petroleum disillate, all right? Which is like charcoal lighter fluid. but there was no evidence found on her shorts at the time or in the car. So I'm sure that four guys walking up to the car spraying lighter fluid on you would only spray just a little bit on the blouse and set you on fire.
Starting point is 00:16:55 They wouldn't just spray it wildly and it would get all over the place. Nope. So they couldn't even, there was no proof of that. She had a little bit of lighter fluid on her on her blouse. That's it. So something happened. just not what she said, which is why I think we're not getting any charges against her, right?
Starting point is 00:17:17 It's just not going to happen because there was some lighter fluid on her blouse. So I guess it's close to being, you know, something happened. We just don't know what. And so we're not going to charge her. And so the police are just saying, well, we can't prove it. There's no evidence to support what, what she said happened
Starting point is 00:17:42 157 page report there was at least the timeline from a nearly three minute long video and a 23 page resort so investigators told the family that the attack
Starting point is 00:18:00 as Bernstein described it had not occurred there was no evidence that she colluded with anyone to make a false report or that there was any malintent or pre-planning that occurred in regards to Bernstein's statement to police, I don't think that's true, but good for you for letting her off the hook that way. I think that another false report, it's just amazing. I know that the police were dealing with Black Live Matter protests in downtown Madison.
Starting point is 00:18:35 That night, it was bad. and so she claimed that she was attacked around 1 a.m., and there was no proof of that at all. She claimed that, it doesn't matter what she claimed, because it's just agonizing. She said, someone on state street tried to set me on fire,
Starting point is 00:18:58 yelled the N-word, and threw beer and a lighter at me. It's still burning my skin. It was a group of white guys. Oh. Okay. A little more than a half hour later, surveillance images of her phone placed her at the hospital. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:14 But there is no other evidence supporting what she said happened. So, we're to believe everything we're told. We're to believe it all. We're to believe that we are evil as a white, I'm speaking on behalf of white people and I shouldn't do that. But as a white male, a white adult male, we're all. evil and we're all racist and no matter what we think if we think we're not racist that makes us more racist and if we think we're racist that means that yes you are racist and you need to admit that you're more racist than what you admit you are and everyone we're supposed to believe
Starting point is 00:19:57 every every time someone alleges that an attack happened against a black person that what they said is a hundred percent true i'm sorry i'm sorry I don't. And just so we're clear, if anyone attacks an African-American person as a white person, I, you know what, I disavow it. You're all bad, evil people. Are you happy?
Starting point is 00:20:29 But we can't continue to have false allegations against all people that aren't people of color. and have them not be true and we're going to when we're still supposed to believe it. No, I won't. I just won't. Let's go to the break room.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Okay, well, I'm down. Okay, well, and speaking of that. Okay. We're in the break room, and I'm going to have a drink of ice cold refreshment in a jug, all right, with ice, because I can't find canned Coca-Cola Zero products in my local area. What is going on? I want to know, Hey, Coke Zero, WTF in D.F. what is going on I go to the store yesterday
Starting point is 00:21:44 there's not a canned Coca-Cola Zero in the house there are some two liters and some one-leaders left on the shelf, that's it and of course I mean I'm purchasing them, hello
Starting point is 00:21:58 but that's it I said there was the last of it in the store I looked in the little coolers up by the registers no Coke zeros no cans I want to know what's going on Wow my Coca-Cola zero products. I haven't been talking about it because giving them free advertisement.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I know we joked around about it, but gosh darn it. I'm relegated to 2-liter zero in ice. Without the ice-cold cans, that means I'm starting to run low. Life is not going to be pretty if I can't get my Coke zero. But, well, you know, welcome to the break. All right, we're in the break room, so we can talk about subscribing to the podcast. We'll start there. And then we'll get to the Democratic Senate candidate in North Carolina, who may be in a little bit of trouble.
Starting point is 00:23:01 You don't know. It's got some text message issues that are happening just before the voting takes place. So before we get to that, what you could, you know, I'll tell you a text that you can send to your friends right now. Text your friends say, Hey, I just subscribed to chewing the fat.

Again, you're welcome. All right, so Democratic candidate, Cal Cunningham. Apologized. Of course he did. He apologized because it was released.
Starting point is 00:25:06 We found out that he was sending romantic text messages to a woman who is not his wife. Now, he's running up against Republican Senator Tom Tillis, who just tested positive for COVID-19, by the way. So, I don't know what that has to do, but it has to do with the race. He's up against Tom Tillis, this Calcuttingham. So apparently, it was released screenshots of text messages. He praised the woman as historically sexy. Was that what you? You're historically sexy?
Starting point is 00:25:44 whew, now you're making me want to be with you. Hey, you are historically sexy. Want to get together? It doesn't say it here that they actually had an affair. It just says that he was sending text messages, trying to maybe, you know, have an affair. Like one text said, would make my day to roll over and kiss you about now.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Oh, yeah. After, man, you are historically sexy. You know you're getting picked up. You know you're doing. You're having an affair with that guy. So, you know, he said he hurt his family, disappointed his friends, he's deeply sorry. He's taking responsibility.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Okay, it's my family's privacy to be respected on this personal matter. How about no? You know, and then no. You're running for public office. You don't get the public privacy thing. Your wife has been on the campaign trail for you, saying what a great guy you are, saying how authentic you are.
Starting point is 00:26:44 So you don't get to pull the, well, now it's privacy. Sorry, no. It doesn't work that way. But, okay, whatever. Just know that if you're looking to maybe having an affair with someone, the way to do it is praise the woman as historically sexy. Now, now you are looking at some good times with her. You know, I saw you at the event last night.
Starting point is 00:27:17 You are historically sexy. Would make my day to roll over and kiss you about now. Would it? Oh, yeah. Now you're talking. Now you're talking. So I know it's Fat Bear Week, and we're going to get to that. Today's the final day to vote.
Starting point is 00:27:38 But hopefully soon, maybe in the next few years, we'll have the Fat Tasmania. Devil Week. So there's 25,000 wild devils left in Tasmania. And now in an Australia park, the Aussie Ark. So a team has released, just released 11 Tasmanian Devils on the mainland of Australia. And in an earlier program, they released 15. So now there's 26 Tasmanian Devils living on the mainland.
Starting point is 00:28:13 of Australia. Now, they died out on the mainland after dingoes arrived, and they were just restricted to the island of Tasmania. They also had a big blow to their, oof, to the devils, because they get a contagious form of cancer known as devil-facial tumor disease. Wow.
Starting point is 00:28:39 And it killed about 90% of the population. whew I mean that's that is not good but the devil's is the largest marsupial or you know
Starting point is 00:28:54 carnivorous marsupial and our native predators so they're hoping that they reintroduced them and then they'll control populations of feral cats and foxes and hunt other endangered species so they're scavengers
Starting point is 00:29:07 and their hope to keep the environment free from disease well let's hope so I don't want any more. I don't want Tasmanian devils or people coming down with the with the devil facial tumor disease. I'll tell you that.
Starting point is 00:29:22 With DFD. DFTD. No, you do not want DFTD, my friends. I don't care who you are. So they're going to re-introduced them. They're going to track the animals using radio collars and camera traps and regular surveys. We'll see how they're doing and what's going on.
Starting point is 00:29:41 So it's possible. that in, you know, in a few years, we have the fat Tasmanian devil week. Yeah, it's possible. So, fat bear week up at the Catmine National Park in Alaska. This is the final day, the final voting day. Get there and vote for to see who's going to be the fat bear winner of Fat Bear Week. So 747. and 32 chunk go up against each other.
Starting point is 00:30:14 All right. So the, if you look, if you go to the explore.org slash fat dash bear dash week, and I'll post it on my Twitter and Facebook accounts and have already. You can use the same link that's been there this week. And you can go and you can vote. So the two bears are up. The brackets are, you know, head to head for the championship. 32 chunk and 747.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Now, I will say, I, I'm all for a 32 chunk. But the angle of the picture for 747 seems like 747, I don't know. 747 looks like good win. So I'm still voting for 32 chunk. I'm a 32 chunk fan. He's my bear, or she is my bear. And I'm going to vote right now for a 32 chunk. Okay, so I got to put my email address in, which is billy dot bear.
Starting point is 00:31:13 And we'll see where we're at. Oh, 747 is in the lead. See, I think that's the picture angle. I think 32 chink, chunk. Oh, sorry. That's not a Chinese bear. It's an Alaska bear. What am I thinking?
Starting point is 00:31:29 And it doesn't have a chink in the armor. It's not even, oh, never mind. Never by. Wow. Don't. I'm in trouble now. Oh, so. I mean, we could beep that out, right?
Starting point is 00:31:38 Right. So it looks like 747 with the angle of the picture looks bigger than 32 chunk. But I'm telling you, 32 chunk is just as big if not bigger than 747. But wow, with the angle of the picture, 747 is way out in front of 32 chunk. That's that's sad news. That's sad news. That's a we've got it. The fix was in with the angle of the picture and I think we should complain about that to be honest, but you know, it's a long, been a long week and the brackets are finally done and 747 is up against 32 chunk, not chink, 32 chunk.
Starting point is 00:32:22 And it looks like 747 is going to come out victorious for Fat Bear Week. Well, good for you. Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. All right, I got a couple entertainment stories And then I've got a story that I question the validity of it I don't know that it's true We'll see I'll let you decide you decide whether it's true or not So in entertainment news and it's kind of sad Entertainment news Teenage bounty hunters
Starting point is 00:32:55 Why can I speak? Teenage bounty hunters On Netflix? Canceled I know I know, dry your eyes. I should have warned you. I should have set you up. So I apologize.
Starting point is 00:33:10 So, and plus, here's some other bad news. You ready? Okay. The series Glow on Netflix? Canceled.
Starting point is 00:33:25 I know. I know, I know, I know. I know. I'm sorry. Okay. I'm sorry. But that's the way it goes. sorry
Starting point is 00:33:36 I don't know what it cost to make these shows but I'm sure Netflix is starting to at least come around to maybe we shouldn't be spending all this money on these shows that no one is watching but you know like the series criminal where they have in Germany and Spain and United Kingdom
Starting point is 00:34:06 we may have even talked about this before but that show is amazing to me because it's not a bad show the Spanish the Spain one and the Italian one and the you know the french one they were okay the united kingdom one is pretty good
Starting point is 00:34:22 it was a lot better the characters are more driven as far as uh you know the criminals and the police officers but that show is so cheap to make you're only paying the stars it's got three rooms or two actually two big rooms a hallway with what appears you know with a stairway
Starting point is 00:34:41 windows that are looking out onto the city which is all green screen right of course I don't want to break it to you, but it's all green screen. And then there's an elevator that they go, that they come and go on with, you know, vending machines in the hallway. That's it. It's so cheap to make. And no action happens outside of the two rooms, the hallway, and the main waiting area where the elevator is.
Starting point is 00:35:09 That's it. Really cheap to make. So, I mean, you got to start looking at maybe during these times, of production lockdowns and how you're going to how the cost of things are maybe shows like you know teenage bounty hunters and glow aren't quite up to getting your money back know what i'm saying yeah and then we have anne haish who says dating ellen degenerous is the reason she couldn't get work for ten years so again we're ready to bash Ellen right we're still she's still hanging in there but not for long i'm telling you she's done we're
Starting point is 00:35:51 still we're dragging out anne hish an old girlfriend to say that she's the reason that she couldn't get work i don't know anne i saw your work in the movie volcano and you're my favorite line of a of a bad movie wow maybe it had something to do with that that you couldn't get any work just a thought perhaps the acting abilities of wow during volcano
Starting point is 00:36:21 may have had something to do with you not getting some work but you know I don't know who am I who am I to judge right okay I know I know I'm still a fan
Starting point is 00:36:37 I don't I don't know I don't know I'm a fan and don't look down at me I'm still a fan but, you know, especially, wow. But, you know, that might have had something to do with it. Okay. Is this story real or not? I've read the story multiple times,
Starting point is 00:36:59 and I can't figure out if it's real or not. I don't think it is. I don't think it is. So doctors in Australia were shocked to find a cyst full of tapeworm larvae on the brain of a 25-year-old woman. Now, according to this, the woman had been dealing with headaches since she was 18. And it happens a few times a month, and they were accompanied by visual aura. She didn't think much about it, but because the symptoms would go away after she took medication.
Starting point is 00:37:29 So for seven years, she's been dealing with these headaches and didn't think much of it. She took some meds, and she's fine. So recently, the symptoms worsened. And she had a week-long headache, so she finally went to the doctor. The doctors performed an MRI and discovered a lesion on her brain. Thought it was a tumor. When they went, they got a tumor on the brain. We're going to go in and operate.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Oh, okay. Maybe I shouldn't have waited seven years. Yeah, you think? Anyway, when they went to operate, they found the lesion was tapeworm eggs. So according to this. she has tapeworm eggs in her brain. And once the worms were removed, the symptoms ceased
Starting point is 00:38:19 and she's able to resume her job as a barista. Oh, so she could go back to delivering coffee without worrying about headaches. That's great. So maybe she got it from undercooked pork, but we don't know. We don't know what happened. And we don't know where the source of infection was.
Starting point is 00:38:40 we don't know how she got it we don't know what happened but we just know that hey this is what it was and she had to take i don't think it's real i don't think i think it's a i think it's a story that gets the headlines with doctors find tapeworm in brain of woman who suffered headache for years and everyone like me clicks on the story because we're like really i mean for the longest time in my life i had a poster it wasn't mine i wish it was it was it was a a roommate of mine. He put a poster behind the door that was always kind of open. You know how you have a door that you know only closes once in a while and so when it does it's like whoa what is that and here we had a poster of it looked like four giant holes but what it was it was the head of a tapeworm blown up like eight billion times
Starting point is 00:39:33 i don't even know how far it was blown up it was blown up you know this is this is huge it's a poster-sized picture with four, you know, holes, but it was the head of a tapeworm. And it was so cool. I wish I still had it. But now, you know, was that poster real? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:53 I get it. Okay. Maybe she did have some tapeworm larvae in her brain and didn't know it, but I don't think so. I don't think it's real. I think it's just a story to get people like me to click on
Starting point is 00:40:07 what taper in a woman's brain click on it and read it so it's just clickbait not true story and that's where you're at so just keep it just remember do your own do your own homework read between the lines or listen to chewing the fat because that's what we do we read between the lines here on chewing the fat and we'll tell you if stories are
Starting point is 00:40:30 likely true or not if you know the barista in australia and you say no no it really happen. Email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Love to talk to her. Download and subscribe to more content at theblaze.com slash podcasts. All right. I'd as well talk a little bit of Rona here. Just a little bit. The CDC. I know. This is the World Health Organization. I'm sorry. I don't want to get the too confused, although you can very easily. The World Health Organization says that they believe
Starting point is 00:41:07 They believe our best estimates, maybe, likely, one in ten worldwide have been affected with COVID-19. That would be only 20 times higher than the current number of confirmed cases, but it's likely, maybe, it's possible. Okay, thank you. It talks about best estimates tell us that 10% of the global population may have been affected by the virus. Okay. You know, Southeast Asia, Europe and Eastern Mediterranean are facing a surge right now, according to who? Heading into a difficult time. It also means that, you know, what we said all along, maybe China is lying to us. I mean, they're saying, remember how long they spent?
Starting point is 00:42:04 If you listen to the podcast, you've been a subscriber for a long time in the heat of the COVID-19 battle. China stayed right at 83,000 for the longest time while the rest of the world was surging. So, I mean, now they guess they have over 90,000. Whoa. Who believes that? I guess people in China. I mean, I don't know where you're at, right? If you believe that, then you believe that it's more infectious than what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:42:35 There's more asymptomatic carriers. Or the virus is less deadly. if one and tell you I mean the numbers are huge so don't whatever you do don't listen to the president telling you to stick it out
Starting point is 00:42:49 and don't be scared and don't run from it because now we get the CDC friends of the who say that coronavirus can spread through airborne transmission well duh isn't that why we're all wearing masks
Starting point is 00:43:02 because it can spread through airborne transmission but what they're telling you is that it's possible maybe, likely that, under certain circumstances, that if you're more than six feet away, it could still transmit. Wait, I thought we were the six feet guideline.
Starting point is 00:43:21 But we did know that, right? I mean, we are supposed to look at it. Like, if you, when you go outside in the cold and you breathe, right? You see where your air goes. When it's exhaling your body, you see how far that reaches. Well, guess what? That's, if you're, have some sort of sickness, That's how far that sickness goes.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Duh. And if you believe that the mask blocks those diseases, that's why you wear the mask. That's why you stay socially distant. I just don't understand why now. I mean, if they're going to try to make a big case that it's more than six feet to keep people away from each other at some point.
Starting point is 00:44:04 As we said earlier, how about no? You have to believe. that we have to make our own decisions. We saw what happened. I mean, everybody saw the video, went viral about the sons not being able to sit next to their mom at a funeral. And, you know, it was how dare they? I mean, at some point you say no, right?
Starting point is 00:44:26 You tell the guy that's looking over the funeral telling you, you can't sit next to your mom to go take a hike. Get the F away from me. Okay? Because I'm sitting next to my mom. It's my dad. funeral and I don't give a crap about you at all and you push him out of the building. At some point you do that.
Starting point is 00:44:47 At some point, I need a t-shirt. We should have already had a t-shirt for chewing the fat. How about no? That's, I mean, that's my campaign slogan. That's my new t-shirt. I'm going to, I don't know, I'm going to put that in, see if they make that happen. How about no? when I get that available in the shop, I'll let you know.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Okay. Reporter Ben Tracy for CBS White House, CBS White House reporter tweeted yesterday, I felt safer reporting in North Korea than I currently do reporting at the White House. This is just crazy. Well, do you, Ben? Do you? Is that it because? The president came back to the White House yesterday.
Starting point is 00:45:41 His home. And while he was out on the balcony, he took his mask off. The horror! No! That can't be. It just can't be. I won't hear of it. So I know that, you know, North Korea has got those labor camps.
Starting point is 00:46:04 and they're killing people left and right. And if you disagree, they're killing you. But do you feel safer? Did you feel safer while you were there? I'm sure you did since you were protected. And now you don't think you're protected at the White House. Well, you know, we had a number of people who start coming down with the coronavirus testing positive. And, you know, that's going to happen when you have, I just, we've been over it so much.
Starting point is 00:46:29 It's just, I'm sick of going over it. I really am. People need to make their own. personal choices. It just needs to happen. And we have a new bombshell, by the way.
Starting point is 00:46:44 A new bombshell. I know. I know. It's another one. Coming from the coming from President Trump's niece, Mary,
Starting point is 00:46:56 who has now stated in an interview that you probably should sit down because I don't know if you're going to, I don't know if you're able to take this or not. She said in an interview that members of the Trump family have viewed illness as a display of unforgivable weakness. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Oh, no. Oh, no. Now, don't forget that she's suing the family. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah. And she's got her new book out there that she's trying to sell. Oh, don't worry about that. This is another interview that she's just, you know, telling us.
Starting point is 00:47:34 the truth about the Trump family. They considered illness as an unforgivable weakness. I know, I know. And she gives a couple more examples of how bad this positive thinking was in the Trump family. So her grandfather did not even, it was toxic because he didn't want to hear anything negative. Oh my gosh. No. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:48:04 That's all he cared about was positive thinking from Norman Vincent Peel. Huh. That is so bad. And they should just be hated for it. She also said in this interview about her dad that alcoholism. Now, this is horrible. You probably should sit down for this too. Alcoholism was considered his,
Starting point is 00:48:34 fault. Oh my gosh. The family, this is how hateful they are and how much in positive thinking they think of. The family believed that her dad's alcoholism was his fault. Those bastards. I mean, you can well understand why people hate Donald Trump and his family because they believed that a family member who was an alcoholic and I believe actually died because of, you know, too much booze was his fault. I mean, I can't. I can't. It just is agonizing.
Starting point is 00:49:21 And you would talk about clickbait. Just a side note, this story is driving me crazy today. Just, you know, because we talk about clickbait. We talked about the, we talked about the, uh, we talked about the, uh, the damn tapeworm story. And, you know, look, we live in a world of clickbait, right? In fact, that might be my new, my new, I'd just do a segment, clickbait.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Because we live, I mean, our world is clickbait. And we all do it. The left and the right, just to be clear, we all live in the clickbait world. Okay. So, like this particular headline, LeBron James walks off court with time still ticking, pouting over loss.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Not a good look. This is not a good look. Well, okay. So, A, is it a good look? You know, not really. But the game's over. There's like 10 or 11 seconds left on the clock. They're not going to win.
Starting point is 00:50:24 He turns around and walks off the court. They've already lost the game. All right, the clock is ticking down. There's no way. And they stop the clock. Even they show where it goes to zero and then they put time back on the clock saying they're going to have to finish stop it The game's over which they eventually do just take it to zero and it's over there's no way is it a good look You know he's right there if you watch the video of the game which you know barely you know only a couple of million people watched
Starting point is 00:50:54 I think was four or five million the numbers are way down for the NBA Championships which you know is another story in and of itself but they were down by 11 points there was 10 seconds 11 seconds left on the clock they don't need 5 guys to finish the game the clock was ticking off there's nothing could happen there was nothing going to happen that would lose the game that would make them come close to winning the game okay so it was over
Starting point is 00:51:20 and why is he need to stand out there on the court and be more angry and watch the clock tick to zero when it's going to click to zero anyway I'm going to go back to the locker room I've had enough of this game. I just, I hate to be sticking up for LeBron too. What am I doing? Sticking up for LeBron James? Oh my gosh. I got a, I need a drink.
