It being chewing the fat. Happy day. Happy day. You trying to go to the bank today? And then realize, oh, crap, it's closed. I hope the ATM was open for you because it is a holiday. It is, well, it used to be called Columbus Day. For those of you listening live on the 12th of October,

2020, today is what used to be called Columbus Day, but really today it is called Indigenous People's Day. So don't let me hear you calling it Columbus Day. Okay? I don't want to hear you celebrating Christopher Columbus when you're supposed to be honoring Native Americans who were subjected to European colonial rule for centuries. Okay? I don't do it. I don't want to hear it and because it's indigenous people's day the banks and the markets have all got to be closed so celebrate go be happy just don't do anything that has anything to do with the federal government that might be good advice no matter what day it is welcome to chewing the fat Okay, I'm not sure where to get started today.

There's a couple of stories that I have today that are pretty amazing stories. This first one, a transgender man in New Jersey, is suing Amazon, claiming he was harassed and denied a promotion with the online giant after telling his boss he was pregnant. Oh, no. Oh, no. Sean Simmons claims he told his supervisor Mike Minow about his pregnancy in June of last year. And Menow told another supervisor, this Tyler hoped, and word spread through the Princeton Fulfillment Center. This was all according to the federal lawsuit, which was filed last week.

Simmons said he was soon harassed by other employees at the warehouse, including in the men, bathroom and if you want to know how horrible it was for him to be harassed in the men's bathroom at well he was in the bathroom one person said aren't you pregnant i know the horror i don't even know i might should probably dump that but i'm going to maybe you didn't hear me so apparently the transgender man john simmons who is pregnant was harassed in the men in the men's bathroom when one One worker asked, Aren't you pregnant? The horror.

I know. The horror. Oh my gosh. Okay. So Meadow and Hopp, the two supervisors, allegedly began criticizing Simmons' work performance in an attempt to get him

demoted. After Simmons, the transgender man who's pregnant, complained to human research, they put them on paid leave. So they said, look, here, uh, take some time off and we'll just,

we'll pay you for it. Get out of here. So then he returned from the leave. He said he was demoted to item picker, which required him to lift large bags of dog food and other heavy items. Told human resources about lifting such weight and his condition was causing abdominal pain. They gave him another paid leave. But they said, hey, this time, furnish a doctor's note for any pregnancy-related accommodations.

Now, he claims he provided the required documentation, but was denied an accommodation. Now, according to Simmons and the attorneys that are filing a lawsuit against Amazon, they claim that Amazon has a policy and practice of discriminating against individuals. because of their disability and or pregnancy, failing to provide employees with accommodations, and retailing against retaliating against employees for requesting an accommodation. Oh, okay. Which, according to them, has been demonstrated by dozens of lawsuits

filed against Amazon in the past six years in New Jersey alone. So just, I mean, lawsuits have been filed. So they're guilty. Guess that's the way it works. Right? Okay. According to one investigation, they found at least seven lawsuits filed by women in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, claiming they were fired by Amazon after disclosing they were pregnant. But I don't know that there's any case at Amazon where a man has said that he's pregnant and then been discriminated against us as a first.

So just saying I know that he's a transgender man, but good look. I mean, Amazon can't comment on pending litigation, but it does not tolerate discriminatory harassment of any kind. We have been and continue to be committed to accommodating all employees to perform their duties in a safe and inclusive workplace. That was said from a company spokesperson. right? You're not going to get any any more than that from a company

spokesperson and they wanted to remind people that Amazon receives perfect scores on the human rights campaigns corporate equality index which rates companies on LGBTQ inclusive policies, practices, and benefits, and

Jeff Bezos received the HRC's Equality Award in 2017. I believe he probably proudly, proudly has that on a shelf in his office. Why wouldn't you have the human rights campaign's equality award from 2017? Proudly displayed on your shelf in your office. So anyway, there you have it. And it goes on talking about Title VII and the lawsuit going on and on.

And according to this, according to the National Center for, transgender equality. That's right. You heard me. The National Center for Transgender Equality. More than three quarters of transgender Americans have faced workplace discrimination. And more than one in four have lost a job due to bias. I would like to see that.

I would like to see that. I would like to see proof of that. because if you feel that someone, if you feel as a trans man, so that means that you're previously a woman who is now saying you're a man and you're now pregnant, I think we all know, and I'm going to, I don't know that I should say this or not on the show. So I'm just going to say it and we'll pretend like I didn't say it.

All right. Men can't get pregnant. I know. Okay. So it's just, you know, science. I know we're all supposed to believe in science. Anyway, so men can't get pregnant. So this Simmons was harassed at the warehouse after they found out that,

He, she was pregnant. One worker asked in the men's bathroom, aren't you pregnant? If that's what we're considering being, being harassed, then I believe those numbers, the one in four are more than one and four. I would, I personally don't think that's harassment.

But maybe it's the tone of voice that was asked. Maybe it was the deal. Maybe it was a guy. in the bathroom with the guy who's now a woman who's pregnant and the tone of voice was like I thought you were pregnant aren't supposed to be in the other bathroom I know it's a difficult time when you're transitioning or if you are you've already transitioned but this person couldn't have already transitioned because she sorry he is pregnant so there's that Not real sure.

I mean, what, you know, look, Amazon is probably going to say, here, here's some money. Get out of here. Go raise your kid. Good luck. God bless. And that's, I'm guessing. That's probably what Mr. Sean Simmons, the transgender man who is pregnant is hoping for.

Okay. So this story is absolutely. I want to say horrific, but, you know, I'd like to make fun of it, but you can't make fun of something like this. The, I want to talk about this story, but it's so a priest, it's not a joke. That's all I can think of as jokes. So the lights inside the Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church in Pearl River, Louisiana. were on later than usual the end of last month. A passerby stopped to take a closer look.

Peering inside, this is according to the story, the onlooker saw the small parishes pastor half naked, doing things with two other women on the altar. Now, before you freak out, just know that I'm going to tell you that it looks like that may not be true. The women were dressed in corsets and high-heeled boots. There were toys and staged lighting and a mobile phone, as well as the separate camera mounted on tripods recording it all.

Now, according to this story, the eyewitness took a video called the police department, who arrived at the church and viewed that recording. Officers then arrested the reverent on obscenity. charges and they arrested the two the two females as well okay so one of the women was a adult film actor who worked for hire as a dominatrix and on her social media account she had posted on her way to the new orleans area to meet another dominatrix to defile a house of god okay those two dixon and Melissa Chang. All right. Now, the obscene acts clearly occurred on the altar, which is clearly visible from the street, or at least from the window when you walk up to it with the lights on.

Okay. So, but as you read on about the story, now they try to tie it in with another priest that they had a problem with not long ago. So this whole diocese is in a big time turmoil. Okay. And it's just, suspended this priest from the ministry the day after he was arrested and when the police got there the two women said hey we're here he knows we're here it's okay all right so they claim that inside the church they saw the priest and the women taking care of business on the altar which is I mean, the most, the holiest place of the church. It's just incredible.

But in the story, it talks that when the police officers knew who the priest was, and they tried to call him on the phone. And then they ordered the women to let them inside.

Okay. Now, as I said, the women told the police, hey, the priest knows we're here. We're role-playing. It's fine. Well, it's not really fine. You're not supposed to be doing anything of the sort on the altar.

But that's okay. Miss and miss devil. But the officers, I guess, determined what happened. It says here that later they, the priest showed up. Well, wait. Was he there or was he not there? I'm not sure if the police officers are trying to help the priest or what? Because we're hearing the story that says, well, he was there. He was with these two women and you know he's doing these actions on the holiest of places in the church the altar but the police said they tried to call him and then he later showed up well wait i don't quite understand

exactly what happened but they all three were arrested they're out on bond and, you know, they were arrested for, you're not supposed to have sex within public view in Louisiana, or at least in this particular town of Louisiana. Wow. I mean, holy cow. There would be a lot of people that would say, that's the sign of the devil. that happening.

I'd be a number of people who say that, that that's the sign of the devil. So apparently, they had a mass this past weekend, and they consecrated a new altar. They removed and

ritually burned the old altar. And the archbishop said that the behavior was obscene, desecration of the church altar is demonic,

and there's no excuse for what took place here. And he asked the congregation not to judge the church or the priesthood by the actions of a few priests. And he introduced the new reverend to applause and said the new pastor will become the father of this family. So they drove away the evil spirits and they started anew.

Okay, good. That's great. I want to, we're going to be following this on chewing the fat. I want to know if we find out exactly what happened. Well, I mean, we know some of what happened, but I don't know if the priest actually. took part in it. I mean, the girls could have been dressed as a priest,

and they said that they had other items there, other toys that they were filming with. So it's possible that the person looking into the window thought it was the priest when it wasn't because the police said they called, and then he showed up. So I don't know. Wow. It's just a horrific story.

if you believe that the altar at any church, let alone a Catholic church, is a sacred place, and that something like this would take place there. I mean, if you are in a dark, dark place in your life and you want to take place, take yourself and put you into this place and have it being done at the altar of a church? Yes. I'm going to go out on a limb here. That's evil.

Well, we've all heard it. The rich keep getting richer. And through this pandemic, we hear the rich keep getting richer. And the littler guy keeps getting richer. littler. Well, then I read this. Forbes has released its list of the world's billionaires for 2020. The publication has counted 2,095 billionaires to compile this list and noted that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global markets. Yeah, it's made the rich get richer. That's what we've been hearing. Um, except to know. The world. The world.

World's billionaires now worth $8 trillion. Wow. That's a lot of money. Which is now $700 billion less than last year. Oh, wait, how can that be? But they're getting richer. The rich keep getting richer and richer and richer. And this pandemic has just opened the floodgates for the rich people to get richer and richer and richer.

Uh, no. Uh, no. I guess that's not true. according to Forbes. They are $700 billion less rich than they were last year. So there's that. So when you continue to hear the rich are getting richer, and the rich are getting richer,

and they are keeping you down. Nope, not true. Amazing. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink, as it is anyway. Ooh, fresh one too. So speaking to being rich, as long as we're in the break room, dollar general, looking to go after those rich people. Okay. So dollar general, usually looking for customers

that are, you know, make $50,000 a year or less. So, and I know that they are refreshing themselves, you know, making the stores just that much different. However, they are going to open up a new chain of stores called Pop Shelf. Get it? Top Shelf and Pop Shelf? Yeah. They're opening two stores in the coming weeks. We're in and around Nashville.

And they're going to open a total of three. 30 stores this next year. So the stores, pop shelf chain, it's going to be selling non-essential items like home decorum party items. Wow. So they're not going to cater to the clientele for Dollar General. Dollar General has 16,300 stores across the U.S. Wow.

So that pop shelf stores are looking. looking to sell to households with income up to $125,000 a year. Good luck. Good luck. I mean, you're going to shop at Pop Shelf? Yeah. Yeah, me too. It's the 9,000 square feet pop shelf stores a little bit bigger than the typical dollar

general. So I guess, you know, I don't know who they're going after. It'll be kind of like, you know, T.J. Max stores, I guess. Something like that. So, I mean, you can't get enough of T.J. Max. Am I right? Who's with me?

Now we've got a lot of talk about asteroids and what could be coming, what could be landing on Earth, what could make it through the atmosphere and, you know, we should be on the lookout. I don't know what we do if we saw it coming, but you should be.

be on the lookout. But we also know that we now have an opportunity for you to get asteroid insurance. Now, we know that we've had asteroids come through the atmosphere. One hit the Earth last week. They're looking at an asteroid's coming toward Earth. And there's supposed to be one that's close the first part of November. So, I don't know, do you want insurance for the possibility of an asteroid hitting? Might be a good idea. Now, Mike St. Lawrence, who owns the St. Loras Agency in Altamont Springs, Florida, is selling that insurance. Now, we talked to Mike on this show, episode 157, when he sold alien abduction, or when he started selling alien abduction.

abduction insurance policies. So you could get the alien abduction insurance policy, or you could get the asteroid insurance policy from Mike. And, you know, be safe. Insurance, it's always good to think ahead. And it would be the word that most insurance professionals would tell you, It's prudent. So just like being a subscriber to this podcast is prudent.

So is having insurance for the possibility of alien abduction or asteroid hitting the earth. It's just prudent. All right, I might as well, I've got these, you know, come off the weekend. And as I'm sitting reading, and looking at things, I just send to myself, you know, emails or headlines of stuff that I'm like, well, I've got to read some more. So I've got some entertainment headlines

that, you know, we're just going to kind of push through here real quick just to give you some entertainment updates. You don't need to know about them. You just need this is something you can use at the water cooler. If you're back to work, you can wait in line six feet apart, social distance and, you know, talk to people

just so you have an idea. Amy Carlson, remember her from Blue Bloods, is going to be on FBI's most wanted season two. Wow, that show is really needing help if they're bringing Amy out. I mean, I thought the show needed help, and it was good luck getting it back anyway. So they've given it a season two, but they're bringing in a new star. And she will be a, she's going to be like a, what did it say? What did they call her?

Yeah, a bounty hunter, a veteran bounty. honor who's going to cross pass with the with the FBI so all right good luck god bless i mean the show i tried to really like that show and it was a difficult show for me to like of course so we got you know CBS is a big time uh back into it again with all the promotions blue blood's coming back out don't forget they had the new uh the new kid the new uh grandson going to be part of the Reagan family now that was part of the dead sons kid that nobody knew about.

Okay, we'll see how that works out. Ellen DeGeneres. They're talking about her ratings bouncing back up 50% since the scandal. We'll see if that holds true. I told you I think she's done. I still believe that she's done.

I don't think she wins that battle. The story talks about how pissed that the employees are because now they think that she can get away with anything. They're so angry. They're still collecting. their paycheck, though.

So we'll see how long that lasts. We'll see. I'm guessing here soon we're going to have another big complaint against Ellen. And then that pushes my girl up front, you know, Drew Barrymore. So still, I'm still holding true to that. No problem. We had, oh, Elton and Roder. and Rod Stewart are still fighting.

I read the story. All that is is Elton going to be trying to sell his book. So he and Rod are going to be, you know, there's going to be a chapter on how horrible he and Rod have been. They know each other for years, and they really love each other, but they don't anymore and they don't speak. And so it'll be part of the book and please buy my new book. I still need some money, even though I'm on my last world tour.

and I'll be back on my final world tour because I want to be with the family. But hey, buy my book. I see an article about Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell and I think, oh, okay, I'm kind of fascinated by what's going on with them. And it talks about how they're having troubles in their, well, they say marriage troubles,

but I don't even think they're married now. Haven't been married. They've been together for 30, 40 years. And the whole story, is based on they got into a fight during the pandemic. And Goldie got mad and stormed off into a separate room. I don't know how you know that. I don't know how that happens,

but apparently you do. And now they're looking at, you know, the pandemic has really got them struggling and they're just so darn, they're just so darn stubborn in each other's ways that they're going to go about themselves on their own. Oh, okay. Good for you.

Good for you. We had Phil Collins, kicking out his ex-wife. Yeah, kicking out his ex-wife. What fascinated me about this story is that the ex-wife apparently got $46.76 million. And she's been living in a house that he paid for. So now he says, I want her out. She's gone.

Apparently she went on some, he thinks she squandered at all, which would, you know, which I guess wouldn't surprise me. I have no idea what type of person she is. But she ran off to get married to someone else in Vegas and he wants her gone. Now, they got married in the late 90s, had two sons, got a divorce in 06, then got back together again and then got divorced again. So, you know, she's obviously, and Phil, you know, here's 50 million, get out of here, and you can still live in my house. One of the things that I found fascinating in this story was that he continues to fully

support his sons from her. Well, duh, there are sons. All of their expenses are paid through a fully funded, irrevocable, trust, but he says, I'm no longer financially on the hook to her. She's gone, have a nice day. I don't know. She gets no more. She gets nothing else.

Phil. Phil. I love you. And I think we should be together. I'm going to go out on a limb right now and say, I know, I know it's a, you know, you can't put an age or, gender on love, but I'm here for you. That's kind of a sweet deal.

Good for them. Good for them. We also have news on Simon Cowles. I feel like, I'm going to call this in the entertainment headline section, but it's more like, you know, chewing the fat in choir. Simon Cowell, you know, had back surgery. He talked about his accident. He was trying to, you know, Mr. Electric Bike in the front yard with the kids.

broke his back and then he had surgery and I guess surgery was okay but he you know was five hour long surgery it was a long story they put a metal rod in his back uh and back surgeries never you know I guess they they're fine and if you need them you need them but I've never met anyone that has come back from back surgery and felt like it was a winning proposition like they were just darn glad they had it. So I hope, you know, I hope he pulls through okay. But apparently he's, you know, not doing well. And he's got nurses and doctors at the house.

And, you know, America's Got Talent is now, you know, doing it without him. And Britain's got talent is doing it without him. These are all his deal. And they were trying to let him, according to this, do some video messages from the house. And Simon is like, uh, no. I'm in pain.

I'm on medication. I'm not. There's no makeup. There's no, there's none of this going on. Uh, new. Uh, new. You're not doing that.

So good luck to Simon for, you know, I hope that works out for him. No problem. And then we have, you know, we'll wrap it up. We'll wrap up the, the entertainment with Mariah Carey. Talking about her life as,

uh, when she first got started with her first husband or, you know, ex-husband talking about there was no freedom for me as a human being. It was like being a prisoner. And there was a conscious effort to keep me as this all-American girl.

She claimed whatever that means. I'd like to know what that means too, Mara. Because you were kind of the, you know, all-American girl. But she goes on to talk about her J-Lo and A-Rod and her life. Just, you know, anything to be in the limel. I love, I love it. I love it, love it, love it, love it, because they

continue to break out all this stuff about their inner workings of life just to stay in the limelight. Wow, it's pretty incredible. So remember when we talked about Quibi struggling and not sure what was going to happen and they were still trying to hang on and that Katzenberg and Whitman were continuing and they were fighting and they were trying to build the business. And they were trying to build the business and we told you that it was you know i i loved the whole idea behind quibby we've you know we've been over it we've talked about it quite a bit but uh you know and then we talked about how they uh you know they've got some ammys and they got some awards and they had all this money raised from investors well that money is you know they were out looking for more money

um how about no uh you're supposed to be generating some income now with these shows and with subscribers, which you never got. I mean, I took my 90 days, my free 90 days, which was great. I thought that was a tremendous offer from them, and it was. But I, you know, after three months, I didn't feel that it was worth

paying them the money they wanted to subscribe to Quibi. I wish it was. But there's only, you know, two or three shows that I really want to see. And there's a couple now on there that I still want to kind of want to, I still want to kind of see. But I'm not willing to pay the money for all the other shows. Well, it seems that they're out looking for a buyer now.

I know. I guess they've pitched the deal. They're trying to find somebody to buy it. And they can't. Nobody wants to buy Quibi. So here's an idea. Meg. I'm sorry, CEO Meg Whitman.

and Mr. Katzenberg, Jeffrey. I know you guys are, you know, partnered up with Quibi, and you've had a good time, and you've created a really cool thing, and you've created some good content. I know there's a couple lawsuits in there. Don't worry about that whole app structure stuff. Ah, I don't worry about it.

We'll figure that out in the long run, right? But if you still can't find a buyer, I know you still got a little money in the bank that was, you know, given to you when you were first structuring the company together, that, you know, whole billion or $2 that you got. Incredible. I'll take it off your hands. So just email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com,

and just, you know, either, you know, look, Jeff or Meg, either one can email me or you both can email me from your joint accounts. I'm sure you have one. and to just say, hey, Jeff, this is Jeff and Meg. Just wondering when we could get together so that we can sign the paperwork and that you could be in charge of Quibi and we can walk away. And I'll reply and I'll say, sure, and I'll give you a date and time and we'll get together. We'll make that happen.

Because I got some other ideas that aren't there yet for Quibi. And we can make that work, you and me. We'll make that together. Now, if you want to still retain some of your ownership points, fine. We can work that out too. But email me. We'll make it happen. Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.

So I want to thank you if you were the one that sent me the video on the Guinness World Record holder, Joel Nurt. I've reached out. I'm hoping to have him on chewing the fat. He has six Guinness World Records. And I was watching his YouTube video that he posted, that he's featured in the Guinness World Book of Records. He's in like three of them now.

And awesome. I'm hoping to talk to him. I realize that his Guinness World Records are all doing stuff with his beard. but it is, I'm so jealous that I can't wait to talk to him because I think he's my new hero. He's one of them. He's one of them. I mean, we can all have multiple heroes, right? Of course you can't.

But I am so jealous because we've talked about it before. I've wanted to be in the Guinness Book of World Records forever. And I haven't really wanted to do the work, but I've wanted to be in it. So I'm going to find out. I'd love to talk to Joel and see. you know, how he made it possible. And perhaps, perhaps he could set me on the road to world record bookness from Guinness. Quick Royals update.

I haven't given you a royals update in a while because I know, you know, I mean, it's tough to care. Especially since Harry and Meg are, you know, technically royals, but they're not. So now we're getting the news that Harry is off to see Grandma. He's off to see the queen. no word yet on whether Meg is going. If the grand kid is coming, I don't know. But the queen has said, Harry, we need to talk. So the queen has said, Harry, keep the change.

Except she hasn't. She says, Harry, give me back the change. So they're pissed because, you know, we had, you know, Trump is mad because he commented about the election. We had the one Missouri representative write a letter to the ambassador requesting the queen tell the royal couple to zip it or strip their titles, which may come as a surprise, but the queen could do it. And, you know, look, I think she already really technically has her titles gone, right? It's just Megan, you know, House of...

I think the Duchess of Sussex, I think that is gone now. Anyway, but Harry, no matter what, he is still a prince. But I don't know what, they don't know what he's in the U.S. with, if it's an immigrant visa as a spouse of an American or a diplomatic passport because of his royal ties. I mean, so that's tough. The queen could lay down some laws with Harry and have to, you know, have a Harry have a little talk with Megan. Like, that's going to happen.

And I saw a great, a great story. It just made me smile as all. Because, you know, I know that they just moved into their new dump for, you know, 14, under 15 million. I guess it's their permanent home over there in Santa Barbara, you know, up there in the neighborhood with the rest of the hoity-toits. And they've just signed the new Netflix deal, which got them

the Netflix. I don't know what they have to do for it, but apparently that deal was worth like $150 million. Oh, that's got to be sweet. Hey, Netflix. If Quimby doesn't call, email me, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. So anyway, it was just my favorite headline from the weekend on the Royals.

Megan Markle spotted shopping at Whole Foods, but no one cares. So there she was in line, and they were just a fellow shopper explained, and nobody really cared, which has got to be nice in her neighborhood, right? I mean, that's, you know, I guess she was there with her security. guard, ip-di-y-y-y-y-y-p, and then nobody really cared. I'm surprised that she actually has a security guard in her neighborhood, but good for her. Security costs a lot of money. But it doesn't surprise me.

I mean, that's what she wants, right? They want to be, when you're in Megan's shoes, if you're me, they're tight. But when you're in her shoes, thank you. When you're in her shoes, you want the celebradum. You want everybody to know, Megan Markle, you know, watch me on Instagram and Twitter and hey watch my watch my work on Netflix but you also want to be able to go out in public and not have the paparazzi around and not have everybody coming up to you and talking with you which is why you move into these hoity toy neighborhoods so you can go

for a walk and don't have to worry about Ellen and Oprah coming out going hey how's the kids what's going on you don't have to worry about that But if you run up to Whole Foods, I don't know if that's inside the gates or not. So if it's outside the gates, it's possible you run into somebody that isn't quite up to date on the neighborhood. No talk rule. But apparently at this Whole Foods, no one cared. As long as we're on Netflix too during the, you know, Tiger King, right? One of the big stars was that Doc Antle from Carolina, right?

is from North Carolina, South Carolina, one of the Dingleberry Carolinas. But he also is in trouble in Virginia. 15 animal cruelty and wildlife trafficking charges.

Wow. Antel is facing two felony charges. One count of wildlife trafficking and one count of conspiracy to wildlife traffic. And he's also being indicted on 13 misdemeanors. And the two daughters are being indicted as well.

And also the other park, Wilson's Wild Animal Park. And Antel's place in South Carolina, yeah, was South Carolina, where they're facing charges on wildlife trafficking. He's the one that had all the women around and just, I mean, he was like this cult guy, Antel, Doc Antle. He was this, that was a strange dude, man. You can quote me on that. That was a strange dude.

He, if you go back and watch Tiger King, which I don't want to do, but I will, if you, if you, because I want to, I got to remember he is, I mean, he's, he his place was like a cult. And, uh, that guy was a strange, strange dude, man, Doc Antle, you can quote me on that, but he's in trouble. he is in trouble and he's violating the Endangered Species Act. So good luck. God bless. Because that doesn't sound like it's going to go over too well. But you never know. He might win.

He might say, hey, I didn't do anything. Those lions were fine to be sold off and trafficked from state to state and brought in from another country. So leave me alone. It's possible that could happen. It's been kind of an entertainment show, so I'll stick with it. I have had George Benson's on Broadway in my head for three days. So I read a story that talks about Broadway's shutting down, extending the shutdown for another four months, four months, until May 30th of 2021. So if they open May 30th, that means they would close for 400 and 15,

44 days. Wow. Now, I mean, that is huge ripple effects. We talk about, we have the who guy today, you know, talking about how lockdowns don't work and please don't lock down. I mean, the ripple effect, the domino effect, is just huge all over the world. But, you know, specifically Broadway, you're talking about New York, right? I mean, the performers are out of work.

The theater workers are out of work. the restaurants, the parking garages, the retailers all around Broadway, doomed, doomed. They're saying the impact is $14.8 billion. That wouldn't surprise me if it was more than that. Now, they also claim that Hugh Jackman said that he was set to Open Music Man in 2022. I mean, 2022? Are you kidding me?

Is that supposed to be the saving grace? I mean, I know Hughes back on Broadway and it's wonderful, and the music man, it's great, but wow. Okay. February of 2022. I know that they say, in the words of George Benson, and it's going to be difficult to say these words

without actually singing them. But they say the neon lights are bright on Broadway. And they say there's always magic in the air. But when you're walking down that street and you ain't had enough to eat, the glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere. So just saying that they say that women treat you right on Broadway, but looking at them

just gives me the blues because how are you going to make some time when all you got is one thin dime and one thin dime won't even shine your shoes George Benson on Broadway classic you can go ahead and sing it for yourself

you know the tune you do on Broadway say there's always magic Chick in the air.
