Well, where should we get started today?
I don't know.
There is a plethora of fat, a flethora of fat, a pile of fat to get through today.
And then fat pile Friday tomorrow.
I mean, I may even just take the fat.
The fat may just roll over into the weekend.
But we might as well start with saying goodbye to Quibi.
Yes, Quibi Holdings LLC.
shutting down.
I know.
I know.
I was a fan.
I wanted to be a huge fan of Quibi.
And yet from the very beginning,
they kind of let us down.
They had served up the shows that, you know,
were five or ten minute chapters,
which I liked and some of the shows were really good.
But the bulk of shows on the platform were not that good.
And of course they're blaming it, you know, mostly on COVID-19.
It was designed, you know, they were, the selling point was to be on the go in between moments,
at a moment in time which no one had in between moments.
It was all just moments at home.
And really strange.
And of course, it was the way they promoted it and the way it started out was all wrong.
And look, they only got started out with, you know, $1.7 billion.
I know it's reported, you know, $2 billion, but it's really, I think the $1.75 billion was the amount that they started out with.
They now have only $350 million in the bank, and they're, you know, looking to wrap it up and return as much as they can.
to the investors, you know, if you invested, uh, you know, a hundred million,
are you happy to get two million back? I guess. Maybe. You know, you're getting something back.
And, uh, they know, they're big deal. I got employees that are, you know, probably making
really good money. And of course, they want to find a, you know, a good landing for those employees.
And I know that they will help them get a, you know,
new gig. Good luck. Good luck. So I know that they, you know, want to talk about what a great
journey it was, but man, I wish they would have just, they should just give it to me. Just give
me quibby. I know they tried to sell it. They tried to raise more capital. They tried to do
everything. And it, they claim that they tried to do everything they could to keep it alive. But their
main focus at the beginning was all wrong.
But that's a moot point now because it's over.
They're shutting down.
What happens now with all that content?
I don't know.
A lot of it's kind of cool.
It'd be, you know, it'd be cool to see, you know, Netflix or Hulu.
Someone pick up the shows and just put them together.
So you'd have an hour, hour and a half show.
show to watch and you know the the quibby compilation but we'll see what happens it'll be it'll be interesting
to follow welcome to chewing the fat all right i have a million dollar idea for you but you won't be
able to do it if you're in pain so let me help you getting out of pain and then you can go for and then
do. My way of helping you, you know, get out of pain is to tell you about a product that can
actually get you out of pain. Relief factor. The other day, my daughter is sitting there and she says,
Dad, did you know that our brains don't remember pain accurately? And I was like, yeah,
uh, hello, it's kind of a biological defense mechanism that allows us to, uh, I don't know,
live better. So we don't remember when we fell out of the tree and smashed our head.
against the car, that kind of thing.
It helps when mothers have babies and they scream,
I'll never have another child again, you did this to me.
And, you know, the next day, it's like,
oh, we have to have another child.
Yeah, I know.
But the thing is,
the best thing, you know, about pain,
aside from learning from it, is when it goes away.
And for some of us, it doesn't ever go away.
But relief factor can help you dismiss that pain.
That's right.
Over 50 million people in America are going to miss work due to pain.
That's an incredible number.
For some of us, a pain is a daily thing.
Hello, 66% of us expect to live the rest of our life with some pain.
I'm definitely in that percentage points.
But relief factor targets the underlying problem areas from four different
metabolic bathways to alleviate pain at the source.
It's based on 15 years of clinical practice,
four key ingredients to help your bodies fight against inflammation.
It supports a healthy response to inflammation and decreases discomfort.
And all of that having been said, I'm just telling you, it works.
It comes in convenient little individual packets.
It supports healthy joints and muscles.
So if you, like me, are suffering from chronic pain,
I mean, the question is, what price would you put on making that pain go away?
You could send me the low low price of, well, I mean, there's no amount that you could give me that would really do it.
So your best bet is 1995 to Relief Factor.
1995 will get you a three-week quick start to Relief Factor.
Just go to ReliefFactor.com, 1995 for a three-week quick start.
Look, of the people that order Relief Factor, 70% of the people go on to order more.
It's designed by doctors, and it's not a drug.
It helps you get your life back.
Relieffactor.com.
Go to Relieffactor.com or call 800,5803.83.84.
800,500, 8,834, or go to Relieffactor.
All right, million dollar idea.
So, and I know some of you are going to say, it's already out there, Jeff.
What are you an idiot?
Maybe I am.
Maybe I am.
So I'm sitting there last night watching my, my wife in the kitchen, you know, cooking.
And she's got her headphones on and she's listening to whatever she listens to.
And I'm sure it's this podcast.
right but uh so my daughter comes in and she wants to hear what my wife is listening to and so they put it on
their Bluetooth speaker so it's in the kitchen and I'm thinking well why doesn't the headphones just
connect because these headphones you know connect to the Bluetooth but not multiple headphones
so here's a million dollar idea for you
Make it so multiple headphones can connect to the same Bluetooth phone computer.
So you're all listening to the same thing.
Jeff, that already is available.
If it is, email me, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com.
If it isn't, go forth and create.
And I'll just take my cut.
You can mail me whatever it is that you.
sell your app for okay all right thank you you're welcome by the way okay so never mind that the planet is
in turmoil uh we'll go around the globe a little bit and talk a little bit about that turmoil uh in a little bit
but we are doing better things to save the planet i mean electric cars animal free dairy climate friendly
I'm sorry, not just animal-free dairy, but climate-friendly food.
So, I mean, you have GM unveiling the new electric Hummer.
Features, you know, you get 350 miles.
It has a crab mode for diagonal off-road movement, driver-assist software.
It's got their digital cockpit system that they designed with the creator of Fortnite.
under the GMC brand GM's going to pump these out at its Detroit ham tramock plant
which has been named I'm sorry it's not the hamtri blanket it's the factory zero okay so
I guess factory zero is now the cornerstone of GM's zero emission zero crash zero congestion
Roadmap. Oh, man, does that sound good, right? Right. By 2023, GM plans to unveil 20 electric vehicles. Wow. They've set aside 4.5 billion upgrade factories. Oh, wow. They've got 2.2 billion for factory zero, which will produce the electric cruise origin. Two billion to reconfigure a Tennessee plant to produce the new Cadillac. They've got three.
300 million for a plant in another plant in Orient Township, Michigan.
Wow.
So you've got the new Hummer, the new GM's electric collection, you know, the head of their electric collection.
It gives Tesla Cyber Truck, the electric Ford, F-150 hitting the streets.
So good times, good times for electric vehicles.
Then we have news from Bob Eiger, you know, former head of,
Disney. He put out the news, I think yesterday, but at least within the last couple days.
You know, since he stepped down from Disney, he joined the board of animal-free dairy startup.
Perfect Day. Oh, that's good. That's good. Now, look, what does he know about animal-free dairy?
well, his expertise will open doors and add knowledge of operational excellence, you know,
from his Disney and Apple days. They raised $360 million, including from a Singapore investor,
only has one commercially available product right now, a non-dairy ice cream.
You know, we're planning on doing more, though, but ice cream first. Say, okay, got it?
So they use this fungi fermentation tanks.
They copied cow DNA.
They make this animal free ice cream.
I have not tried this this perfect day.
I'm going to have to try to see if I can get a taste of the perfect day ice cream.
So we have that.
You have impossible foods rolling out more.
We talked about this before.
all the new plant-based foods.
So Impossible Foods is going to go into, you know,
their animal-free steak, bacon, fish,
and their own milk,
dairy, non-dairy, fake dairy product.
And because they pledge to make a no cow milk
that cooks, heats, and even mixes with coffee like cow milk.
Isn't that what perfect day is,
trying to do okay we'll see uh there are so the fight is on the non-dairy milk war is on okay so the first
company that could make that no cow milk milk that cooks heats and even mixes with coffee
like cow milk will be the winner yay and then we have you know the headline of panera bread
but there's plenty of restaurants now that are trying to, you know, label their menu with items that are climate-friendly.
You know, because of the 2019 report from the United Nations found that the global food system accounts for 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Yeah, we don't have to worry about that.
We don't want to worry about feeding the people on the planet.
We want to worry about global gas emissions.
coming from the food on your plate.
All right, whatever.
Panera Bread, remember, they were like,
they were the first national restaurant chain
to put calorie counts on the menus,
and they are now labeling items as climate friendly.
Okay, thank you.
So the salads and the sandwiches and the soups,
we want to, you know, have that footprint as low as possible.
and we want to have,
they have one entree called
Cool Food Meal.
So that's what it's called
because of the World Resources Institute.
Oh, isn't that nice?
That's nice.
So Panera worked with the Environmental Think Tank
World Resources Institute
to calculate the carbon footprint of the menu.
Wow.
Menu items with the distinction
of,
earning the badge of cool food
I mean broccoli cheddar soup
Mediterranean bowl I mean
doesn't that just sound good
yes yes it does
I know that they are
you know they're really looking for
people to make that informed decision
grains fruits vegetables
and we know that dairy products
and meat are at the higher end of course
yeah I mean we don't want to have any
dairy products or meat
Duh.
So just salad,
which has locations across six states,
implemented carbon labeling.
Oh, that's good,
because we want that carbolating.
Now, this is going to come as a surprise to you.
Just, and this is just a,
I hate to throw this in there,
but I have never been to just salad.
So, I don't know.
I cannot tell.
you what a great place it is and how important the buffalo Caesar salad for
example that has 0.77 kilograms of carbon dioxide is good or not but it's part of
the cool food meal badge of good housekeeping seal so it's got to be good right right
got to be good I mean I know it's just me probably
probably, but when I see a menu that has calories on it, I don't even, I mean, I chuckle to myself
about that because I'm ordering food that I like and I want to eat and it's available.
I don't care about that.
I don't care about the calories.
I don't care if it's, you know, helping, if it's perceived to help the planet survive.
I just don't care.
You know, I want the steak.
I want the potatoes.
the salad yeah you know somebody around here will eat it you know so bring it it's part of the deal
but you don't have to rush that whole salad delivery i just don't care i just don't i mean i know
i hate the planet but i that's the way it is i have a question for you um i guess i should
go to the break room but it's yeah let's go to the break room let's get a drink get something
our throat something cold refreshing and then i have a question for you oh my gosh that's so good so good
okay all right i need one more drink so good so good so good so my question is how does keith overman
still have a platform to reach the dingleberries that he's reaching now
I don't want him to be canceled.
I want him to have a platform.
More voices.
More voices. More voices.
More voices.
But my question is, if Alex Jones doesn't have a platform, how does Keith Oberman still
have a platform?
That's just my question.
That's just my question.
If we're going to hate and keep people off of platforms, how are we not hating and keeping
a person like Keith Oberman off of those same platforms?
I think you know the answer.
I was just, you know, thinking off the top of my head.
Now, I mean it when I say more voices.

Okay.
All right.
That's a good deal.
Can't wait.
A huge, you know, if you're listening live today, the 22nd of October 2020,
we know that we have the debate tonight,
the last debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
If you could make it.
You know, it might be worth a watch.
I don't know.
Maybe you just listen to the highlights.
Maybe I'll just tell you some highlights tomorrow or not.
I'm sure there's going to be some low lights to go through.
So we'll see.
I don't know.
We'll see.
Did you, and we got the World Series.
You know, of Rays and the Dodgers.
We got night off tonight for those of you, again, listening live.
They're not the World Series, not up against the debate.
and it's one in one.
Dodgers won the first game.
Ray's won the second last night.
They looked good.
They looked strong.
It was a fun game to watch.
So, you know, got that going on as well.
Also, one of the things that happened was, remember Carol Baskin from Tiger King?
And, you know, the head of her Big Cat Sanctuary in Tampa Bay.
she the headline is a carol baskin comes out as a bisexual what now she says that i've always considered myself to be bisexual oh really yeah i've always considered myself to be bisexual now
i have never had a wife but i could just as easily have a wife as a husband oh well uh she's
said she started exploring her sexuality in the 80s when she engaged to a psychologist who was
working with parents in the LGBTQ community who had been affected by the HIV crisis.
She was engaged to this psychologist.
I was always very male oriented in the things I did.
I never had any mothering instincts or anything, you know.
I never played with dolls.
And so I always thought that there was something off there.
And I couldn't quite put my finger on it, although I think she probably did put her finger on it.
And maybe that was the problem.
Anyway, she realized then that discovered through the dealings with the LGBT community that I just had feelings for women, as I did for men.
And as far as the way they feel about us, I think we're all one.
And I just don't see us as being different genders or different colors or anything.
Oh, well, that's special.
Or you're married, right?
You're married to a man, or at least I think he identifies as a man.
And you were married to a person who identified as a man who has been, you know, dead in parentheses, quotation marks.
I say them both now just to tick off some of the podcast listeners.
And who emailed me at Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com to remind me at
was a parenthesis.
It was going to say,
I got it.
Thank you.
So, you know what?
I'm coming out as gay as well.
Yeah, I've always considered myself that.
And I've never acted on it.
You know, I never had a husband.
But, you know, hey, it could have just happened.
So, you know, could have.
It didn't.
It didn't, but it could have.
So, Carol, I'm with you.
I'm with you.
No problem.
I understand.
For the first time of my life,
I'm on the same side as Carol Baskin.
Not as a,
as a lesbian,
but as a coming out as bisexual.
Right?
So if she's bisexual,
then it doesn't make her a lesbian,
that just makes her buy.
So,
you know what?
I'm,
I'm coming out as bye.
Yeah, me too.
Never acted on it.
But I'm with you, Carol,
100%.
Cease.
So,
I want everybody to like,
me. I don't want to say bad things about anybody. Give money to my Big Cat Rescue, please.
Okay. All right. Thank you. Did you see Twitch had a gaming night with AOC and Ilan Omar?
They logged in to play the game Among Us. The third most viewed single Twitch stream in history.
at one point they had 439,000 people simultaneously logged down to Twitch to watch AOC play the video game.
I guess she was pretty good.
I didn't log in.
I wasn't one of the 439,000 people.
I know.
But apparently she was having fun and good.
And boy, I bet you she was great and just riveting to watch along with Alain Omar.
Oh, man.
Wow.
did I, I'm bummed that I missed it.
I really am. I'm bummed that I, that I missed it.
I really am.
Oh, I was talking about podcast and movies and Spotify.
So I see this story and I'm, it's reading about how Hollywood has mind podcasts for story ideas since the early 2000s.
But now it's gone to the next level.
right film and TV production companies are using podcasts as their you know content incubators testing out ideas on the medium and where they should make you know where they should produce something onto the big screen so there's this uh charon entertainment c h er n internet entertainment uh u.s production company and they've produced you know movies Planet of the Apes and Ford v Ferrari I mean those are two
you know, two movies were huge.
Ford Friri was actually so much better than I thought it was going to be.
Anyway, they just inked a deal with Spotify to adapt the streaming music giants growing library of podcasts into films and TV series.
Under the partnership, Sharon and Spotify will, you know, rub each other's backs or scratch or massage each other.
Sharon gets to go through Spotify's original audio shows for movie ideas,
while Spotify could sift through Sharon's heap of unadapted intellectual property
for concepts that might make more sense as podcasts.
I'm, hello, you can, this program, while not exclusively on Spotify,
I believe I've said before on this show, I'm willing to sit down.
and talk to Spotify about that.
And I'm telling you,
uh,
Sharon,
you,
I know,
I know,
you've listened to this podcast
and mind some ideas.
There's been multiple times
when I say,
uh,
hello,
they had to have been listening to the show.
Now we know they were.
One,
one last little note on the debate.
Um,
it's the final U.S.
presidential debate.
I'll just give you some facts so you know,
so that we know what we're going to not,
have to talk about.
I guess they're covering six topics.
Fighting COVID-19.
American families, race in America, of course,
climate change, oh God,
national security and leadership.
I'm just saying it out loud, makes it agonizing.
NBC's Christian Welker is the moderator.
It's going to be in Nashville.
And don't forget the mics are going to be muted.
Now, according to this,
the mics are muted.
when they're not supposed to be talking or if they talk too much.
I thought it was just in their opening statements.
So if Christian or, you know, Bill in the back has access to the mute button,
it's going to be awesome.
Remember we talked about that?
It's going to be awesome when all of a sudden,
I just want to make sure you're going to be having people scream off mic.
It'll be great.
I hope we want Biden and Trump to be screaming things off mic.
That's one good thing to look for as a low light from the debate.
All right, no more.
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.
We could talk a little business news, big business news, big companies.
We talked about GM and some of the other companies.
We talked about the automobile industry.
We've talked about the food industry.
So we might as well talk about the drug industry.
DoFarma has agreed to plead guilty to federal criminal charges as part of the U.S. opioid crisis.
According to this, Purdue's role in the opioid crisis is well established.
It pleaded guilty to violating kickback laws when it paid doctors to write more opioid prescriptions.
I hate that when businesses want people to promote their product.
But hey, I know, I know, I know.
Don't look at me like that.
the company said it's going to pay more than $8 billion,
some of which will go to opioid treatment and abatement programs.
Now, the only problem is I could have said that as well.
Yeah, you know what?
I'll pay you $8 billion because they don't have $8 billion.
Now they have an opportunity to make $8 billion.
I, on the other hand, do not have the Purdue company backing me.
but the government is going to now reshape Purdue into a public benefit company.
Boy, doesn't that sound good.
Oh, yeah, that's what we want.
A public benefit company.
Wow.
That's just the new company is still going to produce OxyContin.
Well, yeah, I know the critics, no, let's just stop making it.
let's stop making drugs that help people.
I know it killed some.
I just, I can't.
I can't.
So, look, the big pharma,
$8 billion, they have $2 trillion in states wanting money.
So these states, these settlements,
and lawsuits all across the country,
yeah, we'll pay you.
We'll pay you.
Well, we don't have any money to pay you.
Sure.
We'll make a deal.
deal. So, you know, we'll see what happens. But they're going to have to continue to make drugs,
to make money. That's how it works. You make the product that you're known for, and then you continue
to make money. It's just so funny how that works, right? P&G, the maker of Tide, reported it,
this is going to come as a surprise, reported its biggest global sales increase in 15.
15 years last quarter.
Wow.
Yeah, no kidding with the lockdown.
And Reckett Ben Kaiser, which is, you know, a rival to P&G.
They make Lysol also revealed that it had a great quarter.
And it said that sales of condoms, they sell Durex,
rebounded in a big way after the lockdowns.
So people are out meeting each other.
Yeah, you don't just buy, oh, you know what, honey, when you run to the store, let's pick up some condoms.
So you're going to have, we're going to have a plethora of COVID babies in a few months, which definitely will happen.
But we're also, people are back out taking care of a little business.
And as long as you're out taking care of a little bit, you need some products from.
Dorex.
All right, well, we might as well do a little COVID-19 update.
Just, you know, let you in on a few stories.
Australia.
COVID-19 quarantine blood testing.
There's a little issue.
They're telling hundreds of people now,
hey, you know, we might want to have you take the old HIV test.
That's it, though.
Well, a couple hundred former residents of a quarantine facility in Australia
are being urged to take.
the test for any kind of blood transmitted diseases, including HIV.
After they admitted, you know, we use some of the same devices to test the blood on multiple
guests.
That's it, though.
That's it.
Don't worry about it.
Although one of the weird things that I found in this story is talking about the quarantine
facilities.
So they closed the borders in Australia to all nine.
citizens and residents in March.
And if you return to Australia,
you've got to pay $3,000 Australian money.
It's only $2,110 in American money.
And you get to spend two weeks
in a state quarantine facility.
I mean, that's just dumb.
Anyway, in the month since, you know,
they have the travelers that have come through
and stayed at the,
quarantine hotels.
Some of those quarantine hotels required blood tests, and they were using the glucose-level
testing kids.
And, you know, they were testing diabetes and people, women that were pregnant and older
people.
And yeah, sure, we used, you know, the devices on multiple residents.
You know, we've cleaned them and used them again.
So don't worry about it.
Just get your blood tested.
But I find that really strange.
They were, they, the quarantine facility, you had to stay in with, if we thought you could
possibly be sick, even if you weren't, we're going to put you all together.
It's just, uh, seems, uh, New Yorkish.
Ha ha ha ha.
Yeah, let's just put all the sick people together.
They'll be fine.
Don't worry about it.
We have the Brazilian doctor who died, uh, after volunteering for the AstraZeneca, uh,
vaccine trial and he was part of the, you know, experimental group.
Now, so it's being reported that he died from complications from the virus, but according to other
reports, he was getting the placebo, not the test vaccine.
So it wasn't the vaccine.
In fact, the vaccine may have actually legitimately helped this guy if he wasn't
taking the placebo.
So that was in Brazil.
In the United Kingdom, researchers are preparing for the human challenge study for the vaccine,
and they want to infect healthy young people with the virus as part of the trial.
What could possibly go wrong?
But, I mean, do we have to do it, I guess?
Sure.
A new study has also found that a third of excess deaths in the United States,
during the pandemic could not be directly attributed to the coronavirus.
Oh, I thought it was all the government's fault and all of Trump's fault.
But no, U.S. death counts are, you know, pretty consistent year to year.
They increased 20% during March through July of 2020, and COVID-19, of course, was documented
cause for only 67% of these excess deaths.
So, all right, I know, you know, absolutely some states had greater difficulty than others
containing the spread, but, uh, that's, that's kind of cool.
Although I still see we have plenty of lockouts.
My gosh, New York.
New York, they're still doing huge travel restrictions.
So 43 states and states.
territories now meet criteria to quarantine for two weeks if you go to the state of New York.
Connecticut and New Jersey has the same kind of advisory for mandatory quarantines.
If you go into their states from 43 states or territories, why do they even, why isn't just every state?
I don't know, I don't understand what.
They're trying to make it look like they, they're actually looking into it.
it? No. Just make it happen. Every state. If you come into our state, you have to quarantine for two weeks,
and that's the law. So there you go. Live with it. I's just. Many have said that Governor Cuomo
of New York is, you know, a bad person. I agree. I do not like that man. Sam, I am. It is, a guy is,
That's a real problem.
That's a real, real problem.
Yeah, that's right.
You could quote me on that.
No problem.
In the next segment, we're going to talk a little Hunter Biden.
We're going to talk a little bit of Jeffrey Epstein and Jelaine Maxwell.
She had a deposition released.
We'll get into that.
And we'll also talk about one of the coolest things that I didn't know existed.
I saw it yesterday.
It's from Japan.
It really is really, really cool.
And it has to do with, well, trees.
And I didn't know it existed.
We'll talk about that and a whole lot more in the next segment.
Here I'm chewing the fat.
Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
So there's a headline that talks about a new gland.
Well, I'll just read you the headline.
possible new organ in the human throat.
You can write your own jokes.
I've already written a dozen in my head.
But according to Dutch scientists,
they do have a possible new organ in the human throat.
So, I mean, is it possible?
I guess.
People are kind of skeptical.
Now they apparently it's part of the
salivary glands, but
they're not sure if it's part of the deal or if it's new.
I know that they're looking, you know,
they don't know if it's part of the tubular glands.
It's a new, you know, anatomical functional entity.
We're not sure.
They were, they found it that's a new,
it's a new study published in the Journal of
Radiotherapy and Oncology.
because that's how it was discovered with a new scan that they use.
And so we'll see if it's actually a new what or not.
Because the study concentrated on a small number of patients who were mostly male
and they used specific rather than standard tests.
So they're looking to do a bigger test with women and healthier patients
to see if it's there.
to see if it's actually a new gland or if it was a it's a gland that's just part of the deal that
shows up different when you're sick or when you're not sick.
But I think we just stick with the joke that's a new organ in the throat.
Anyway, global unrest.
I talked a little bit about that earlier.
I wanted to talk just a little bit about that.
We talked about what's going on in Nigeria.
with the SARS protest, the end SARS protest, the hashtag end SARS.
Now they're saying that 56 people have, you know, been killed during the protest, during these peaceful protests.
You know, are they peaceful? I don't know.
I haven't been to Nigeria in a long, long time.
In fact, I don't remember being in Nigeria.
But, you know, so it's been a peaceful.
It's been a long, long, long time.
But it's all about police brutality,
and this SARS, the special anti-robbery squad, sounds,
you can quote me on this, bad.
So, you know, now they still have, you know, people are pissed.
And the government is imposed a 24-hour curfew.
And, you know, the Army has dismissed reports of the shootings as fake news.
Do you believe it?
I don't know.
I mean, that SARS program.
was not a good thing.
They were driving around with, you know,
no uniform or no specific uniforms
and no specific automobiles
and they were just, you know,
doing what they wanted to do, you know,
for safety purposes.
Uh-huh.
Now, they've disbanded the SARS unit.
Protesters, you know, now want more changes
after the years of police brutality.
I don't really
blame them.
But the president has called
for understanding.
and calm.
We'll see if that actually happens or not.
And we go to Thailand.
Protesters are defying government banned
on gatherings in Bangkok.
They pushed back against helmeted police,
so they're not happy with that.
The police have got batons and riots shields,
so we've got more demonstrators holding umbrellas
against the water.
It's, you know, is that going to happen again?
I don't know.
I don't know.
you know, who knows?
It looked good to the world, though, when it was happening,
so it wouldn't surprise me if they'd bring that back.
We've got China being called out on their mistreatment,
their genocide going on to Muslims and Christians, by the way,
but, you know, who cares about the Christians, right?
We just care about the Muslims.
I know, I know.
And don't forget the Chinese president,
Winnie, the Pooh,
talked about, you know,
telling his military to prepare for war.
Don't do anything else
is have your mind ready to prepare for war.
Oh, all right.
No problem.
Isn't that what the army is supposed to do anyway,
but, you know,
hearing it from the president like that
makes it sound more ominous.
We have Hunter Biden stuff with the laptop
and the text messages and the photos
and the nobody cares.
I mean, you can go back and listen to the Hunter Biden story podcast that I did,
episode 227 of Chewing the Fat, who's Hunter Biden?
And it goes through, you know, documents quite a bit of his life.
And, you know, he's just, he's the kid that dad didn't love, really.
I mean, Bo is the guy, and he's the kid that dad didn't really love.
Bo Hunter was just the other kid.
And, you know, now he's, you know, he's just been doing drugs to try to get by it.
And he's off, you know, partying and, and taking care of, you know, business with and without durexes because, you know, he's got his baby down south there from the stripper.
So, you know, it is his laptop for real, probably.
I mean, they've been doing business in Ukraine and China and making millions of dollars.
And now we're seeing, you know, emails and.
tax having to cut dad half the money if we can make that trail if you can make you've got to make
the connection between hunter and joe biden i don't know how much of a wall is there is there enough
of a wall to keep joe biden alive i don't know is there enough of a wall to keep him alive
to get elected president and then get rid of him that's very possible uh but we'll see
Nobody, you know, if you start just, if you just talk about Hunter,
eh, nobody cares.
He's just, he's an adult who's had problems.
And, you know, he's doing drugs and he's doing strippers and doing hookers.
And he's just, you know, it's like, okay, so.
I don't know.
Just nobody really cares.
And then we have Jelaine Maxwell with Jeffrey Epstein.
I mean, her deal.
That deposition was released.
Incredible.
And I've been going through it.
And it's 465 pages.
So I haven't gone through every page yet.
I know.
Don't look at me like that.
I'm sorry.
All right.
But it goes through in the first, you know, the first 25 pages are all, you know, the attorney is saying, hey, don't answer that.
Whatever.
So then they break it down.
When you get to, you know, page like, say, 32, you know, she talks about it's just another one of Virginia because this is,
because of the Virginia Giffrey, right?
Her or Giffree case against Jelaine and Jeffrey Epstein.
And she talks about,
were you in charge of hiring individuals
to provide massages for Jeffrey Epstein?
My job included hiring many people.
There were six homes.
As I sit here, I hired assistants.
I hired architects.
I hired decorators.
I hired cooks.
I hired cleaners.
I hired gardeners.
I hired pool people.
I hired pilots.
I hired all sorts of people.
In the course of a very small part of my job was from time to time to time to find adult professional massage therapist for Jeffrey.
And we make sure that we clear that up adult.
Because they're making a big case over bringing in underage people.
Were there any underage?
And she says, no.
Well, we'll get back into this.
I mean, by the time we get into the deeper pages of this, we'll see.
The attorney keeps objecting to the form and foundation,
and they're going back and forth and what's private and what's not.
I mean, it's a deposition.
If you've ever been part of a deposition, it's agonizing.
But, you know, it would be fascinating to read this,
and we'll see, you know, as long as it's released.
I mean, we might as well
go ahead and read it, right,
and see what's in it.
I mean, I don't want to just
not read it, duh.
So I was telling you about these trees.
All right, so I had never seen these before
and I, that I recall.
And I mean, I've seen a lot of weird stuff
on the planet.
I mean, I go out of my way
to look for weird stuff on the planet.
And this is,
both weird and beautiful.
I just, I, I, I, I, I really was, I was fascinated by it.
And I want it to be.
I want it to be here.
I want it to have it on my property.
It's called Daisuki, or Daisukei,
DAI-S-U-G-I.
It's a Japanese forestry technique for creating a tree platform for other trees.
So it was created back in the 15th century,
according to this story
and
Daisuki
and they have trees
growing on top of
other trees and it is
really cool looking
and they're creating forestry
I mean that's more extra lumber
and that's how they build things I guess
and that's how they were doing small
areas of
you know creating more lumber
right you cut down
you have a platform of trees
and you grow trees
on top of that platform.
It's beautiful.
I was looking at a couple of pictures
from the forests
and people's homes.
It is really cool looking.
So you have a tree that
either cut down
or it's kind of dying
and you plant other trees
on top of that.
So these trees grow
on top of those.
They'll look at me like,
yeah, I got it, Jeff.
So we got it a tree
on top of a tree.
what's so big deal about it?
I don't know.
It's just pretty.
And I'd never seen it before.
Daisogi.
And I just thought it was beautiful.
Kind of like the bonsai.
I like the bonsai.
So we got the bonsai.
You got the daisuki.
Daisagi.
Yeah, that's what I said.
And so now I see where, speaking of trees,
that you can buy a tree from this project in Colorado
called Rooted Future.
And for 30s,
I mean, it's kind of like buying a plot of land down the moon, only this way you can, you know, you see it.
So for 35 bucks, you get a tree, you get to name it, they tag it with a QR code, and you can find out exactly where your tree is.
You can go and hug it if you want.
They'll plant it for you.
You can name it.
You'll know exactly where it is.
And you can go and hug your tree anytime you want to.
And you can name it.
And what they want you to name it is, you know, something appropriate, like Catanus Evergreen.
or spruce Wayne.
It's so funny.
It's so cute.
Or you could name your tree after someone you love,
a loved one that has passed on.
You could do it in memory of that person.
And it's just a wonderful thing.
That's kind of cool.
You know, you buy a tree, you plant a tree.
Now, you could purchase the tree on your own
and maybe plant it, I don't know, where you live.
or you could give 35 bucks to rooted future
and let them plant it wherever they wanted to
and then send you a code where, hey, we planted your tree here.
If you want to come and visit, come to Colorado
and here's where your tree is.
You can GPS yourself right to the tree.
Either way.
Either way.
You plant the tree in your backyard.
You plant it in Colorado.
You plant a tree.
Maybe that's, you know, a new campaign we should start.
Well, it's not a new campaign.
Maybe that's a campaign we should get behind here on chewing the fad.
plant a tree or plant a
that's hugging
I'm up for that
