responsibly. So after this weekend, I've seen a lot of hate spewed in the recent months about a man who is a constant winner and an overachiever, and that's what the people who support him like about him. Yes, he's been caught in lies and twisted the truth a little, but he's still out there proving his haters wrong time after time. Some people are jealous of someone who is successful, powerful, has a lot of money, throw in a hot foreign model at his side, and they hate him even more. You may not have wanted him in his role, but he's there now, at least for now. And there's nothing you can do about it. I know it's possibly going to get worse over the next several days, especially after this weekend.

But like him or not, Tom Brady is still the quarterback in Tampa Bay and really turning things around. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Yes, I know. As of now, you know, Donald Trump received 70 million plus votes. More than any other Democrat or Republican ever prior to 2020.

7 million more than he got in 2016, 5 million more than Hillary got in 16, and yet Joe Biden, according to the world, got 74 plus million votes. Just been an incredible weekend. And on top of that, the one thing that at least put the brakes on a little bit of that talk, was that Alex Trebek passed away. The longtime Jeopardy host at the age of 80, battled with pancreatic cancer. That's a battle you don't win. I mean, he revealed that he had stage four diagnosis,

then he got a wave of support, and he said he was going to battle as hard as he possibly could, and I'm sure he did. He got the job of hosting Jeopardy in 1984. He's appeared in more than 8,000 episodes over 37 seasons. That is incredible. He won six daytime Emmys and a Lifetime Achievement Award back in 2011. Alex Terbeck.

Rest in peace. You know, another thing that can rest in peace is scams or are scams. I got a second rate scam in the email, in my email over the weekend. Things are going I mean, this COVID-19 thing has even dropped the level of

scams. So I get an email. It says, hi dear. My apology as I want to read it word for word for you here. Okay. So it says, hi dear. My apology as I am contacting you through email. It is because it serves as the fastest and more convenient way to get to you.

My name is Mrs. Ilana Solomon Shinar, a widow from Israeli born in Austria. I have a proposition involving a fund transaction unfinished by my late husband, who dead as the result of the coronavirus, COVID-19 in parentheses. We plan to invest in Dubai 2020 Expo before his death. Due to my health condition, I can't handle the transaction. I solicit for your foreign assistance to complete the transaction. I will compensate you for the assistance to handle the transaction to move the funds in your country for investment and partnership with you.

I will appreciate your reply for more details about me and the transaction on how we can proceed to move the fund to you by the business. bank. I know we are in serious situations about COVID-19. Stay safe. Thank you. S. S. Ilana S. Shinar. I mean, there's no amount, nothing. You just want me to reply? You're not saying, hey, I get a chance at 40 million. Hey, I get 25% of 50 million. Something. There's no amount. You're not even just, hey, reply and we'll try to work out a deal to move some money. I mean, come on now. At least try.

At least all the others are at least giving me an amount that makes me want to think about, yes, I want to be involved. This one, this is the second rate. What's going on in the world? Wow. I'm very disappointed in the scams. I'll tell you that. Very disappointed.

Well, well, well. And look at this story. I had several of you listeners, to Chewing the Fats, said to me this story, thank you, reminding me of the scam in Arkansas

at the crater of Diamond State Park. I see we had another winner last week, or another man found the third largest diamond of the year at the State Park.

He found a 4.49-karrant canary yellow diamond. It's about the size of a jelly bean. And, of course, he found it sifted. through the dirt using screens and water. As my eyes were panning to it, I was thinking it could be an amber piece of glass,

like an old Coke bottle. Once I focused on it, though, I knew it was a diamond. I was like, no way, no way! He went on to say when he found it, he was on his 11th bucket of the day. His hands were soaked through his gloves. The water was ice cold, and the park was about to close.

So he took it home and brought it. it back the next day to find out how to register his find. He was planning on going back to Fayetteville but extended his stay since there had been good rain and conditions were optimal to find a diamond, which is what they tell you. If there's been a lot

of rain and then they till the field, it's the perfect time to find a diamond. He's on the 11th bucket. And he finds a thing that's the size of a jelly bean? I mean, okay. I know that that's what makes

Crater Diamond State Park a special place. I just don't buy it. So, I know each diamond is, you know, unique. Each discovery says the Parks Director, Grady Span. He named his diamond Bam-Mam Diamond, which is a tribute to his seven-year-old son and his five-year-old daughter, according to the state park. Did he, was he, didn't bring them along to spend?

the day digging in the dirt for diamonds or was you just by himself out in the fields it doesn't say that's why i i'm i find it hard to believe you know it's ever so often every two or three months we find a diamond somebody gets tossed a bone to keep you coming back remember labor day we had the guy find the nine-carat diamond which is was you know that's like the second largest diamond in parks history found and this is This one, you sew the pictures of it. I mean, this one is just, you know, it's not even a jelly bean size. I mean, it's, I don't know.

This place really just drives me insane. For one, I love the area. It's beautiful. We had a really good time there. Two, it's agonizing out there in the fields, sifting through the dirt. And this guy's out there sifting through the dirt for a couple of days and decides, I'll just go back. It's perfect time.

It's wet and they've tilled the dirt. And he finds one. And it's the size of a skittal. Okay. All right. Congratulations. Congratulations. A 4.49-carat diamond, a canary yellow diamond.

What's that worth? According to this, a one-carat canary yellow diamond ranges between 6,500 and 8,000. So he got 4.49 carrot. So he's looking at over 30,000. And maybe, you know, he sells it for 30,000. That's not bad. That was nice of the park to make sure that somebody won that. Right?

Right. I mean, okay. Thank you. Thank you so much for that. I mean, I'm getting hooked. I want to believe. I want to believe. But.

I can't. I can't believe that it's true. I just can't do it. I'm not calling Stephen McCool from Fayetteville, Arkansas, a liar. I'm just saying, perhaps it was a coincidence that he just happened to find it, and he'd been out there all day. No one would have just walked by and tossed it into his little screen, where he finally said,

said, oh my gosh, what is that? I just, there's got to be a better way to make money than to sift through dirt for diamonds. There just has got to be a better way. Oh my gosh. And I think there is.

Speaking of parks, I mean, I know we were talking about the Arkansas State Park, but we've got the Yellowstone National Park back in the news after an Idaho man has been blacklisted. Yeah, you don't, you can't come here anymore, my friend. He was attempting to cook chickens in the hot springs. So apparently what got him into trouble is he was doing this in the off limits thermal area. So Rangers were alerted to the hydrothermal hot pot session after receiving reports

from people hiking toward this Shoshone Geyser Basin. It's the park's largest geyser region. And they were going there with cooking pots in tow. A sure sign that something is up. So the Rangers did their little investigation and revealed two whole birds in a burlap sack resting in a hot spring with cookware nearby. So the Idaho Falls man has been ordered to pay $1,200 fine for violating closures and use limits to serve two years of unsupervised probation.

Wow. And he can't go into the park for two years. Holy cow. $1,200 fine for violating clothes. and use limits. So he was in the blacklisted area. And then he also, you know, hey, what are in the burlap sacs?

Oh, they're just chickens. I just carry some chickens around. Don't worry about those pots and pans over there. I wasn't going to do anything with them. So it's probably for some YouTube channel bit. I know that, you know, they had a big deal about a TV host who was fined after digging a barbecue pit

in one of the thermal areas. to demonstrate how natural heat could cook chicken. Good for them. And look, and they, you know, it's for, it is actually for your safety. Not to go in there. They have areas marked off because they had, not long ago, this kid jumps into one of the geysers, one of the water areas, and burns himself.

Who lets their kid burn in his? that. I mean, really? A three-year-old kid jumps into the scalding water at a hot spring? Come on now. Come on now. And one person has died. You know, he was trying to use, you know, use the vents as a jacuzzi. And he died from it. And I don't know about the three-year-old kid, man.

You jump in that water that's sometimes 143 degrees. You're doing some damage to yourself. And a little kid? holy cow that's dangerous but I mean I just wanted to see if I could cook a chicken on the hot springs

I bet you it wasn't so many so many jokes I'm just going to let you write them yourself okay I'm just going to let you write them yourself speaking of jokes or something that's not a joke okay my friends US Customs and Border Protection

Agricultural Specialists have intercepted boots made from sea turtles and an Arapima, which is, if you don't know, a fish from South America, I guess that's where they're from. They found three pairs of boots and a belt that I didn't know that I could get sea turtle boots, but now I think I want some. No, of course I don't. It's just a joke because they're illegal.

You don't want boots made from sea turtles. And I was looking up Arapimas, and I was thinking, What the heck is an Arapima? It's a fish from the Amazon, okay? And it's a big fish. It can reach like four inches in length. They're used for jewelry. They've got bony tongues that can be used as scrapers,

but not boots, my friends, not boots. at least not boots here in the United States. All right. You don't be sneaking them in. You can use them to wear them down in South America, but not here in America. Okay? So they got busted bringing in three pairs of boots,

two sea turtles and a Arapama pair and a sea turtle belt. So don't be trying to sneak that stuff into the country. Okay? I mean, if the pictures, and I believe that they are from the director of field operations for the

U.S. Customs and Border Protection people. I mean, I think I want a pair. They look really, really nice. So, if you were able to find a pair of Sea Turtle boots or Arapamma boots, Arapima, Arapima, Arapima boots Don't tell anybody what they are

Or you're going down You're going down, my friends You're going down All right, let's go to the break room I need something cold to drink Desperately Oh my gosh That is so unbelievably good

Oh yeah So while we're in the break room, I'll just say that I made it through Queens Gambit this weekend. It was great. It was a really fun watch. I must say I was a little disappointed that it wasn't based on a true story. I don't know why. I have no idea why. I just, you know, I'm used to having chess stories be based on a real story instead of made up.

But it was enjoyable. It was fun to watch. And, you know, I love chess. So it was fun to watch. But I started watching on HBO, a new. series that they have called The Undoing with Nicole Kidman and what's his face, you know, why can't I think of his stupid name now? Hugh Grant, Hugh Grant.

And it's only, it's a mini-series. And it's, I think it's six episodes. And the first two have dropped. And I think, well, actually the first three, I think the third one dropped this weekend, this past weekend, which I haven't had. a chance to get to. But it was worth it. It started off kind of slow, but I was looking for something to watch, so I made it through. But as the twist gets there, it was well worth the watch. So it was fun. And, you know, it was fun. It was just, that's all I'm saying. It was fun.

It was worth a watch. So if you, you know, if you got the HBO, you know, if you got the HBO, go ahead and watch it. It's worth a watch. All right? Yeah. Get off me. All right? It's called the doing. And then we got the big news that Johnny Depp out from Fantastic Beasts, right? Have a nice day. Sure, it's delayed. Sure, that's the way it goes. But he is out. Have a nice freaking day. All right. Sure, he's got into trouble with the domestic abuse allegations and he's got he and the wife Amber Herder still going at it. And so they want. to have him out from Fantastic Beasts. All right, fine, whatever, whatever.

And I see where Disney, long as we're, you know, talking a little entertainment, we, I see from Disney where they have, uh, inside rumors are talking about the long-term closure of the Hall of Presidents. Wow. Okay. So heaven forbid. We have the Hall of Presidents now. because we don't want President Trump in the Hall of Presidents

and what a divisive president he's been. Oh my gosh. Are you freaking kidding me? So now we've got, you know, Trump and Biden and the battle between them going on. So Disney, while having enough struggle, staying open as it is, you know, we probably should go ahead

and just get rid of the Hall of Presidents all. together. Oh, okay. Sure, that's a good idea. Amazing. One of the things that I wanted to remind you about as long as we're here in the break room, you need to subscribe to this podcast, chewing the fat.

But first and foremost, you want to become a subscriber. Then life can move ahead. So, you know, then you can subscribe to the YouTube channel, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Then you can follow me on social media at Jeffrey JFR on Twitter, uh, Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook, Instagram and Parlor. Boy, speaking of Twitter. Man, this weekend, Twitter is, I'm losing followers on Twitter like a rain. So I don't know what Twitter's doing, but Jack, thank you.

I appreciate it very much. You just keep going the other direction instead of, I mean, I'm just, no problem. It's been going up for months. But now, we've decided to pull the plug on listeners to at Jeffrey JFR. So that's the way it goes, I guess. That's the way it goes. Oh, well. So I see where Pfizer, now that we have the possibility of Donald Trump no longer being president,

I'm sure it had. It was just a coincidence that they announced today that they have a new COVID-19 vaccine that's going to be 90% effective. I'm sure. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that they announced it, you know, once you knew that Donald Trump was out as president. I got news for you, Pfizer. Donald Trump is still the president of the United States of America.

But, you know, I guess now we could just say that thanks Joe Biden for the COVID-19 vaccine. That's going to be 90% effective. And according to the initial data, it's going to be 90% effective. Wow. I mean, that's pretty strong. If that's true, that's great. I don't care who developed it. I mean, if that's true, that is good news.

I hope they're not using butt acid from ants in the vaccine, though. Yeah, you heard me. But acid from ants. One of my favorite stories from the weekend. Apparently, ants slurp their own butt acid to protect themselves from germs. I know. I know. know, so a team of researchers noticed something odd about ants.

Every time the insects swallowed food or water, they would start cleaning the glands on their butt ends. So it didn't seem to be linked to digestion. And because the ants do this even after they have only ingested water, the zoologist from Martin Luther University in Germany said, I wonder what would happen if we made it not possible for the ants to lick their own butts. So they allowed the Florida carpenter ants, which I am not a fan of, by the way, I never have been.

Those bastards are, I don't like them. You can quote me on that. I lived in Florida for a lot of years. I do not like the Florida carpenter ants, Sam I am. Okay. So what they did is they allowed the carpenter ants to feed first, and then they immobilized them with ice. So when ants get too cold, they stop moving. They don't die, however.

They just stop moving. And then when they warm up, they go back to life again. That's a wonderful thing about ants. Yeah, it sure is. I love them. I love them. Anyway, and those little Florida red ants, I could, man, When I first moved to Florida, these little Florida red ants were everywhere.

And it got really bad. And my first wife was working at a hospital that they were having a real problem with it. Same as our home, actually. I mean, this whole area, we lived not too far from the hospital. So this whole neck of the woods in Florida that we were living in was, you know, red ant world. And so they brought in all the experts and I followed them around, man. And I found out those like those Florida red ants, what happened? happens is is, is, let's say you set out some poison, okay? And then they break off. Well, yeah,

they break off because they don't go back to the other poison. They just go around it. They out, they, you know, we don't want anything to do with that. All right, those are dead over there. So you got to kill them at the source. So like, if you were to point out, we used to, I used to put out peanut butter and boric acid and that kills them. Okay, and then they would carry it back to the nest, you know, to their hive, their nest, whatever you want to call it. But what happens is, is that when a bunch of ants start dying around the peanut butter and boric acid, the other red ants go, whoa, hey, hey, don't go there. And they go back and tell the other ants, don't go there, go another way. So you got to keep up on it.

You can't let the dead ants build up around the peanut butter and boric acid, so it kills them. and there's only a few things that they really like to eat. Like sometimes you would leave food out on the counter and the ants would just leave it alone. You'd like, well, hey, I left the food out here. Why aren't the ants there? What they really liked was chicken and chicken grease. Let's say you spilled some of that on the counter. Oh, man.

This red ant world, man. They would attack that like crazy. Anyway, so they what these, doesn't have anything to do with these ants licking their own butts. But so they prevented these ants. They froze them. I'm sorry, they immobilized them with ice. And then they, once they heated them up,

and they tested their digestive systems, pH levels, all right? So the ant's acid levels dropped when they were unable to suck up the poisonous substance called formic acid that oozes from a gland called acyphore on their abdomens. So carpenter ants use this formic acid to disable prey. They smear it in after biting their victim with the mandibles. And the formic acid is known as a weapon that they use against predators. These wood ants, they hurl, some wood ants hurl this poison at their enemy's faces. Like birds take advantage of this behavior by getting the ants to spray them with it. So it kills the other pests that are on the birds.

That's pretty incredible, right? So we use the formic acid as an antibacterial agent in livestock feed, pesticides, wart removal. Wow. And they're looking at it for a role in potential future energy technologies. What are you running on? I'm running on ant butt acid. Yeah, I got this thing running on bud acid.

I'm getting about 25 a mile. 25 a gallon. I mean, if you're only getting 25 miles a gallon to ant butt acid, that's not good. Because think of how many ants you've got to... It takes to create a gallon of formic acid from their butt. Anyway, they use it to clean their nests and clean their babies with it. And so, you know, what it does is,

I mean, they're licking their butt for this acid. And that, I guess, keeps the stomach from getting hurt. And if we swallow the formic acid, we get corrosive burns, headaches, confusion if inhaled, it can lead to bloody vomiting. I mean, you don't want to have anything to do with it. But if you're an ant and you're licking your butt with ant butt acid, now you're living large. Now you are living large with that.

So I guess it's a good thing. And if we could use it for, you know, vaccines, I, okay. If you're running on butt acid, I mean, ant specifically, but ant butt acid, right? ABA. If you're running on ABA, you're doing fine. No problem.

But you've got to mix it just right. Because if you get it wrong, you're going to screw up everything. So that's good. I mean, look, this could be not only a million, but a billion-dollar idea. Right. If you're starting to, if you could figure out a way to market ant butt acid, now you're living large. Did you see where Al Roker said he has prostate cancer and he's taking some time off from the Today Show for surgery?

I mean, say a prayer for Al. He's been around for, you know, a long time. And one in seven black men get prostate cancer, that's a pretty huge number, which is why he said he went public with it as soon as, you know, as soon as he knew and got everything squared away. I don't know why aunt. slurping their own butt acid made me think of Al Roker getting prostate cancer, but, you know, it did. Also, oh, you know, we do recalls. I didn't do the recall at the open of the show, but Volvo is recalling a bunch of cars because of airbag fragments. Kill the driver.

I thought we had this solved. I thought we recalled all the airbags and we took everything out, but no. They announced it's recalling 54,000 vehicles after a driver was killed. So a fragment from the driver's side airbag killed a driver. So it ruptured and then sent metal fragments flying.

That does not sound fun. Okay? That does not sound fun. I just want to go. You can quote me on that. So if you have a Volvo, all 2001 through 2003 S80 and S60 cars in the United States recalled because of that. So if you have a Volvo in that window, I would say if you have a Volvo, I would take it in and say, what up? Rub it down with ant-bud acid, do whatever you got to do.

But I don't want this airbag going off and exploding metal fragments into my face. please. So I know we talked about Oregon and their decriminalization of, you know, every drug under the sun. But what's being called a green landslide from Boris Jordan, the chairman of cannabis company, Cureleaf Holdings. Arizona, Mississippi, Montana, New Jersey, South Dakota, all passed legislation legalizing. some form of marijuana use. And there's more to come.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who I do not like that man so much. He said conditions are, in his state, are ripe for legalization by next year. Yeah, no kidding. You want to know why? Because he sees the tax money coming in. Oh, man, I do not like that man so much.

So a Canadian pot company, Free agreed to acquire Atlanta-based Sweetwater Brewing Company, which makes weed-flavored beer. Man, I bet you that's good. For 300 million. That doesn't seem like an awful lot, but congratulations to them. Congratulations to Sweetwater Brewing Company out of Atlanta

for making a quick 300 million for your weed-flavored beer. Also, Aurora Cannabis was the snack of choice rising 56% yesterday to push, and when I say yesterday, this story is from the middle of last week. So, you know, right after the election, shares in the two other cannabis industry leaders,

Tilray and Canopy had great growth on Wall Street at by the end of last week. And so cannabis is on the rise, my friends. On the rise. So be ready to be able to just smell pot everywhere you go.

man won't that be good actually now I'll let you go never mind and I see where MIT pretty incredible MIT has now claimed that they have a new algorithm that they believe the sound of your cough can determine if you have COVID-19 or not the sound of your cough could determine if you have COVID-19 or not. So if they have a new algorithm, I mean, you might be able to have an app on your phone and if you cough, if you have the notifications on,

you might get a notification. You have COVID-19. You're free of COVID-19. Continue to move about your day. I mean, it's coming. It is coming soon. Vaccine or no vaccine, my friends. You are going to, we, and I say you, as in we,

are going to be in deep, deep, do-do with contact tracing, with having our devices warn others. It's going to be a nightmare. And big surprise coming out of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A study done by a professor just found out that, huh, most students do not treat their minority peers worse than their non-minority peers. Surprise! People aren't racist. amazing.

I mean, just incredible. So this is a study conducted by Mr. Psychology professor, and he wanted to analyze, you know, how students interacted with each other, you know, the minority groups. So he conducted it to determine the frequency

by which minority students are on the receiving end of offensive comments. We were surprised by the results. So we tried out one situation, then another one, so forth, but study after study came back with the same results. Most students didn't treat other white actor more positively than black, Asian or Muslim actors. Huh.

Amazing. I mean, that's what we've been trying to say forever, but, you know, so be it. So they cite this Pareto principle. I mean, who doesn't cite the Pareto principle? It's the idea that 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes, duh, which means that, you know, the results showed that between 5% and 20% of the participants treated the Confederates belonging to marginalized groups more negatively than the normalized, the non-marginalized Confederates, which means that, you know, duh, a small percentage

of people are, you know, treat people badly. but the majority, which is what we've been told, isn't the exact opposite. The majority isn't racist. Just incredible. And it takes a psychology professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. We were surprised. You know, we were really surprised by these results. We tried out one situation, then another one, and it just kept coming back.

that students weren't racist, and we couldn't have that, so we kept going back and forth and back and forth until finally, okay, we gave in, people aren't generally racist. Huh, it's just a surprise.

So anyway, these kids were caught on camera playing with a bat outside the school. Now, that's no big deal.

I mean, I remember catching bats as a kid, and you find a wounded bat laying on the sidewalk, and you put it in a jar, and you mess with it, you know, whatever. I mean, you never did that? Okay. Well, I did. And, you know, we used to have catch bees and bats and mess with them and jar. Whatever.

If you didn't do that, I mean, whatever, you're fine. You know, you're not the weirdo. But so apparently this bat has rabies. And so these kids were playing with the bat outside the school. And now they're looking for, you know, they're, in trouble for playing with this bat outside the school because it had rabies. So they're looking for students and any other person who came in contact with the bat. So the Texas Department of Health Services is all about looking for people who played with the bat.

Now they found, you know, about 15 of the kindergarten students that were near or playing with the infected bat. But exposure and infection, if left on treatment, can be fatal. Well, yeah. And these kids probably don't know that. So you just tell them, hey, were you playing with a bat? And we got to get you checked out because the bat was sick.

Thank you. But, you know, I love the idea that these kids were outside the school playing with this bat. Hey, look, it's a bat. Is it sick? And just messing with this sick bat. I mean, now that's talking about kids being kids right there. you never again you never did that okay whatever i mean we can talk you know i don't want to talk about the i don't want to talk about the election and i don't want to talk about the fraud that's going on and it's

just been a nightmare this weekend was quite possibly it was a long weekend it was a long weekend and i stayed away from as much news as i could it's difficult i i i i i i i i I can't even talk my way through it. I mean, it's just was, I couldn't believe when it was announced that they were saying Joe Biden, he's the president. That's it. He's president-elect. It's it.

We solved it. It's a done deal. I don't know how they could do that. I don't know how they could do that. I mean, well, obviously, I watched them do that. And they did it because they decided that they, the press, decided that we're going to say that he's reached enough of the electoral. 209 he's there that's it we gave him the state of Pennsylvania we called it so he's the

president and so now it's uh you know not only is trump fighting that but he's fighting all the other possibilities of election fraud it just it's you know good luck god bless not I don't foresee it happening I was told that, you know, there's plenty of people on the ground. In fact, I was told in an email from an unnamed source that they expect to win Arizona and Georgia and have a plan for the rest. Okay, good. That makes me happy.

Is anyone going to believe it? There has to be some real, real, real. evidence of big time fraud. And I hope it's there. And I hope it's believable. Because just finding a mailman that threw away 500 ballots, big deal. You got to have, you got to be able to have show how these machines were doctored to create thousands of wrong votes. of doctored votes.

I don't know that you can do that. And I hope there's a way. I want it to happen and it needs to be fully documented because they've already, the coronation has already happened. So unless there's 100% proof and documented and there's no way to get out of it,

you're not going to convince anybody and for all the people who now want to get along good luck good luck because there was none of that before

and now you want it now I don't think that's going to happen I don't think it's going to happen sorry I mean should it happen absolutely. Would I like to see it happen? To a point. To a point.

I'd like to see it happen. Do I think that Joe Biden is president of the United States? No. Is he going to be? Sure looks like it. Doesn't it? Sure looks like it. It was a long weekend, man.

It was a long weekend. And now we're going to have to put up with Jill Biden. I'm sorry, Dr. Jill Biden, who plans on keeping her current job as an English professor at Northern Virginia Community College, becoming the first flotus in a position 231 year history to have a full-time job outside of her duties as First Lady.

She's going to rewrite the First Lady's job. It's going to be great, and she's a lifelong educator. And she'll let us know the value of teachers and their contributions. And Doug, Doug Emhoff, the vice president-elect

Kamala Harris's husband. He's going to be the first male spouse of any vice president or president for that matter. Oh, yes, it's going to be great. And look, he's an entertainment attorney, so love him. Love him.

I know it talks about his big ad agency that he defended with a, you know, $42 million legal battle over the Taco Bell Chihuahua. I don't know how much money he made from that, but it was probably an awful lot. And it'll just be wonderful to see the first husband. I'm sorry, the second husband, or whatever the hell you call him.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get off on that little tangent. And, you know, it's going to be a wonderful time in America. and I'm happy to be a part of it. And I want you to be a part of it as well.
