If you're listening live on the 11th of the 11th month of 2020, it's Veterans Day. Yes, happy Veterans Day. Actually, I mean that. Happy Veterans Day.

And if you're a veteran, thank you so much for serving and doing what you do and or did for this country. And because of that, the national parks have free admission. So what more, I mean, what more do you need in ways to celebrate than being able to get into a national park for free? Am I right? Yeah. I'm right. Welcome to chewing the fat. All right, before we get into, I've got, man, I've got two or three really,

really fascinating stories today. So while I think about which one I'm going to start with, I'm not sure if it's going to be the strippers. I'm not sure if it's going to be the strippers. it's going to be the women that don't know where their body parts are. I'm not sure if it's going to be the psych docs going in before the police. I'm not sure if it's another example of why you should never get your DNA checked. One of those we're going to start with.

And we also have a hurricane that we need to be concerned about, especially those of you listening on the West Coast of the East Coast, of the east coast of North America. I know. You know, my old stomping grounds of the west coast of Florida is getting hammered now from Hurricane Ita,

and it is a hurricane now. It's just a hurricane, but you say that, it's just a hurricane. It's a 75-mile-an-hour winds. That's all. But it is hammering the west coast of Florida, and it looks like it's going to make landfall,

Tampa Bay, North of Tampa Bay, somewhere in there. The cone of death has dropped down a little bit south, more south than it was. So it's closer to Tampa Bay. So if you're in that neck of the woods, be ready. I know it made landfall in southern Florida already and left, you know, damaging flooding behind.

And it's looking like it's going to do that again on the west coast of Florida. And it probably already is doing some serious damage. So please be safe in the west coast of the east coast of North America. My old stomping grounds of Tampa. Bay. And remember that if you're out stomping around, you want to be out of pain, right? And that's why there's relief factor. For some of us, pain is a daily thing. And yes, when I say some of us, I do mean some of us, including myself. Over 50 million people in America are going to miss

work due to pain. That's an incredible number. And 66% expect to live the rest of their life in some pain. I would answer yes to that answer as well. Now, listen, our brains are designed to remember pain inaccurately. I don't want to say your brain is lying to you. It's just making it seem like it wasn't as bad as it was. Like, when, let's say, for example, if you were a young kid and you fell out of a tree house and hit your head on the side of a car door parked underneath the tree,

tree and then you stood up all dazed and confused and then passed out on the sidewalk and you remember how bad that hurt now i look back and i think that wasn't that bad well that's because my brain is remembering the pain inaccurately but the one thing about pain that we love is that it goes away and that's where relief factor comes in okay we don't want the pain and a relief factor can help you with that okay relief factor will make it go away for 1995 you can get a three-week quick start i know only 1995 get you started on a three-week quick start program 70% of you are going to take take it and order more i promise you you're going to be in that 70% it worked for me it works for me it will work

for you. It was designed by doctors and it's not a drug, but it will help you get your life back. It's based on 15 years of clinical practice. It's got four key ingredients that each help your body fight that inflammation. It supports a healthy response to the inflammation and decreases the discomfort, which is most important, right? Relieffactor.com. You can go to Relieffactor.com or you can call 800, 500, 583, 84. Get your life back with Relieffactor.com. Relieffactor. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 800, 583-84.

Get your life back with Relief Factor. All right. So where should we start? We might as well start with the good news. Good news from Oregon. So strippers of color in Oregon are eligible to receive federal COVID-19 relief funds thanks to a local sex workers advocacy group. Nearly $600,000 was made available in a grant awarded to the organization Haymarket Poll Collective

with priority for black, indigenous, and transgender applicants. Now, I would say that if I'm a stripper in Oregon, I, and I, and I, I'm not indigenous or black. I am now a transgender stripper. I want my money. The grant is going to supply 75 sex workers with up to $600 in rent assistance, $500 toward utilities, and $150 for internet. 200 others will be given a bag containing coronavirus protective gear, a COVID test, gift cards,

and other medical supplies. So I was going to say, 600 grand, 75 times 21, 2250, that's not $600,000. So there's going to be some extra cash laying around for the Haymarket Poll Collective. Okay, and I don't know how many, how much a bag of coronavirus protective gear,

a COVID test and gift cards and other medical supplies cost, but I'm guessing there still leaves a little bit of cash in the bank account for the haymarket poll collective. Now, according to this, the sex work like many industries during the pandemic was ravaged by government-mandated closures of strip clubs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. And I like how they put the government-mandated. Yeah, it was government from your states, not your national government. but, you know, I digress.

To boot, to boot, sex workers turning to the internet to compensate for their in-person losses have had to endure increased competition. What? Are you kidding me? There's more competition on the internet for sex workers? Huh. Not only has the industry been flooded with people looking for an easy income. It had already shrunk.

in the number of spaces, people can safely practice their work right. Right. So times are tough. Times are tough. Now, hopefully other strippers of color will be able to get some help around the country. But for right now, thanks to the Haymarket Poll Collective in Oregon, some strippers are going to get some help. And that's just good news.

That's just darn good news because, look, you don't want to have struggling, strippers, you know, online or anywhere. You want them to be able to, you want to be able to survive. And I wouldn't want them to lower their price online to try to, you know, get more clients because of increased competition. But, hey, that's just me. So good. Good for you, Oregonian strippers.

And remember, if you're not a black or not. or indigenous stripper, today would be a good day to identify as transgender. All right, so millions of women don't know where their vagina

is located. Now, off the top of your head, you think to yourself, wait, what? Well, an estimated quarter of U.S. women don't know where their vagina is,

according to a new pole conducted by one pole. That's the name of the company, not the, it's not conducted by one pole. It's conducted by one pole. You know what I'm saying. Which found that 46% of ladies couldn't point out the cervax. 59% suggested a different body part when asked to identify the uterus.

So they were shown a picture of, you know, where the uterus, the ovaries, the cervix, and the vagina is, and they couldn't point it out. So on their own body, I'm guessing, they could point out, hey, this is my vagina. I'm just guessing, though. I mean, I don't know that for sure. I'm just guessing. One in ten women passed the anatomy quiz. Good for them.

And they were able to name the parts of the female reproductive diagram. That's good for them. Now Intima, the Swedish Women's Health Company that commissioned the study, got 2,000 women, and they wanted to hopefully reveal a critical gap in American education. And the fact that nearly one in four women in the survey misidentified the vagina, and 46% could not correctly identify the cervix shows that we need to keep educating the public about how the reproductive system works. yes it certainly does doesn't it now i got me thinking about what is intima now intima the swedish women's health

company they create a product that helps women through their time of need with something called the ziggie cup and it is made with medical grade silicone and it's a menstrual cup, okay, and it can reduce your periods overall carbon footprint if you're concerned about that. So according to this, 20 billion pads, tampons, and applicators get dumped in North American landfills over the course of a year. Wow. That does seem like a lot.

So the Ziggy Cup and some of their other products will help you get through that. Just a side note that I went off on of trying to. figure out who this company was and what this was all about and according to this uh the menstrual cycle was described as uh you know detoxification like a periodical body reset button something they got rid of bacteria a quarter of the responses described periods more approximately as the process of woman's body goes through to shed excess blood okay uh it sounds like maybe some work confounded by the process. Oh, yeah.

Many? Didn't understand menopause. Wow. And women are divided on whom to blame for their poor understanding of their own bodies. 36% said it was their teachers that failed. 28% resented the parents. You bastards. And 27% called for.

better public education standards. Yeah, because it's the teachers that failed you on knowing about your body and where things are on your body. That's the teacher's fault. So, really, I mean, it's kind of misleading. You know, women do know where their vagina is. They just, when you look at a picture of the entire. reproductive system they're not you know exactly sure you know where the cervax is and the ovaries and the uterus and you know they need to be

educated better on their body no question but when they say don't know where their own vagina is located kind of misleading news coming from New York City which I hope is going to spread across the country. Medical experts, not NYPD was going to respond to 911 mental health calls. It's part of a pilot program. Don't get yourself all worked up. It's just too high-need communities. It's not the entire city. So Mayor Dingleberry, de Blasio, announced that new mental health teams of emergency medical services and mental health crisis workers will be dispatched through 911 to respond to mental health emergencies in two, you know, high need communities.

One in five New Yorkers struggle with a mental health condition. Now more than ever, we must do everything we can to reach those people before crisis strikes. Well, thank you, Mayor. We appreciate it. For the first time in our city's history, health responders will be the default response. for a person in crisis, making sure those struggling with mental illness receive the help they need. That is wonderful. That is just wonderful. Now, I would like to ask what happens if one of these, you know, mental crisis breakdown emergencies, you know, just happens to have, hey, you know,

a knife or, you know, whatever. Now, they do talk about, you know, the emergency situations involved, involving a weapon or imminent risk of harm, the new mental health teams will respond along with NYPD. Oh, okay. Now, 65% of all operational staff in NYPD patrol precincts across the city have now been trained in crisis intervention team training. It's a state-of-the-art approach that continues to improve the way officers recognize and respond to behavioral health problems experienced by people,

they encounter. Okay, well, that's actually good. Oh, yeah, I'm good with that. I'm happy with that. I'm not real sure that I understand why we need to have the medical EMTs on the ground to go in before the police if we're training our police to be better prepared for those emergencies. Just incredible to me. And I will when something bad happens to one of these counselors. It is, it's not going to be pretty. It's not going to be pretty.

And it's another way for the police to get blamed if something bad happens, right? I just, it's really weird. I know that some cities, one city is the shining example on the hill of this.

And that's Eugene, Oregon. Now, Eugene is an interesting test. Test city since it's only got, I don't know, I don't even think they have 200,000 people in the city itself. It's the home of the University of Oregon. So, you know, it's quite, I would say, a liberal city, a university city. Yeah, I know. And it's, I don't know, 170,000 people, 180,000 people.

So that's what a block in New York City. So good luck with that. I hope it works out for everyone involved. I just leave it at that. I hope it works out for everyone involved. And it actually is good news if more and more police are being trained to be better prepared for those situations. I'm all for that. All for that.

Because if that will help in less harm coming to the police officers and possibly less harm coming to the would-be criminal out there on the streets. Why, and I tease this story early on, why you should never get your DNA tested? Because you don't want to, you don't want to have a family member who may have done something wrong be found out because of your DNA.

Do you? A man who alluded homicide, I know, it's just a joke, stop it. The guy was a murderer that I'm going to tell you about and he should have been caught, okay? I got it. A man alluded homicide investigators in Washington State for nearly 50 years. A DNA match on a coffee cup cracked the cold case.

Now, he at 78 years of age, decided to kill himself, or at least died of an apparent suicide the other day. So, you know, he wasn't going to go to jail. he was charged last year with killing Jody Loomis in 1972 wow and it was just a horrible you know horrible murder she'd been riding her bike to visit her horse at a nearby stable she was assaulted

and then shot and they found and she and she was assaulted and DNA was left on the scene but no match was ever made at all. So they, and it was from on a hiking boot. Now, and they didn't know each other. So the police went back into it and, you know,

did the DNA test and started searching through the DNA testing from the Washington State Crime Laboratory. In 2018, a couple years ago, they were working with this nanolabs company and they were they put together a family tree of possible suspects

based on the sample that they found off this victim's hiking booth and they narrowed it down to this guy, Miller and they started surveilling him which is you know

okay and then he threw away a coffee cup they get the coffee cup and the DNA matches up and they charged him with first degree murder and so you know he was getting ready for the the uh verdict and the trial and he ended up you know apparently killing himself now uh you know the uh they claimed when he was arrested the presence of a newspaper at his residence was an odd coincidence uh a fair inference could be also drawn that the defendant was keeping track of the techniques that law enforcement was using to solve cold cases. Really? Because they visited his company that he ran with his wife out of their garage and they noticed a seven-month-old newspaper on the table with the headline about an arrest made in another cold case. Okay. I mean, come on now. Come on. Now, I will say that the attorney

for him said we contest the integrity of the DNA evidence in the email that was all ready to be contested but now that he has apparently committed suicide

his guilt will be forever and he won't be able to prove his innocence in court probably wasn't innocent anyway but man does it make you think twice about giving your DNA. I mean, do you want your family member to get caught because of you?

I know, I know. Stop it. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Oh, desperately. Oh, my gosh. So good. So, so, so.

and good. So Disney is struggling. Man, they're going to furlough a slew of employees as, I mean, the California theme park is still closed. There's a memo that went out from Disneyland president, Ken Potrock. He sent a memo to employees. After nearly eight months, our parks and hotels remain closed. And while we have had some successes, like the opening of the downtown Disney district

in July, and dining coming soon, Des Moines Vista Street, at today's announcement that we will reopen Disney Vacation Club units. The recently released state guidelines puts us in limbo regarding a reopening timeline in the foreseeable future. We've already taken the heart-wrenching action of laying off thousands of our cast in both coasts. We expected to be able to open our parks in Anaheim,

given our proven ability to operate with responsible health and safety protocols, as we have at all our other theme parks around the world, but unfortunately, this has not been the case. I mean, California issued guidelines that made it difficult for parks to reopen. They're only going to allow major theme parks to reopen if the parks county has lesser restrictions and less cases of COVID-19.

But that's not going to happen. Good luck, God bless. I mean, they furloughed Disney. Wow. I mean, they furloughed 10,000 employees back in April, and now they are furlowing more. They furloughed some more during the summer, and now they're going to furlough some more.

And plus, I saw another story that they are struggling with the Disney Plus and the Verizon deal. Now, Disney Plus isn't, you know, I'm sure that Disney Plus is doing fine with their 60 million subscribers. But according to this story, part of that big launch of Disney was Verizon customers who signed up for the service got a free one-year promotion, right? And that time is coming up soon. So Disney is starting to say, hey, you Verizon subscribers, you're not going to cancel, are you? You're going to start paying for the subscription, right? Right. So about 15% of Disney Plus's total subscribers are the Verizon deals.

I mean, that's a big number. And according to this, the Verizon Group watches the service less than other subscribers. Wow. So that's not very good at all. Now, that's why they released the second season of Mandalorian. They're starting to launch other shows. And they had some of the new deal. another new deal with Verizon, right, which gave them more time.

It wasn't a year, but it was more time. So good luck to Disney, man. They are, you know, look, Disney will be fine. Okay. But hopefully, I don't know about the employees. That's a tough one. If you are listening to this podcast right now and you are not a subscriber to this podcast, I would like to ask that you become a subscriber.

Most people around the world, but specifically people here in the United States, we don't like freeloaders, all right? We don't mind if you're a subscription freeloader. We just don't like just freeloaders. So if you're listening to this show and you're just a freeloader, I mean, some people would probably be angry with you. So subscribe. Choose the platform.

There's a plethora of platforms out there, like iTunes, Iheart Radio, Stitcher, Spotify, and many more. And you can subscribe to this podcast Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.

That's all I ask. I personally don't feel like I'm asking too much. But, you know, maybe that's just me. So go ahead and subscribe to chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. And then, you know,

if your platform allows you to rate and review, and share. You can do all that stuff too. But first and foremost, just subscribe to the podcast. Thank you. All the other things will come along, the YouTube channel,

the social media accounts. All of that can come along for the ride. All right. But first and foremost, nobody wants to be like a freeloader, so become a subscription freeloader. Okay? All right.

There you go. And as far as I know, Blaze TV deal is still on under the BlazTV.com slash Jeffie, J-E-F-F-Y, with the promo code, Jeffie, J-E-F-F-Y. If you use that right now, you're going to get $30 off a year's subscription to Blaze TV. I mean, that's a pretty darn good deal. Now, if you go there and it doesn't work, that means they caught on. So, shh, don't tell anybody.

Just go there now and subscribe. BlazTV.com slash jeffy. Use the promo code, Jeffie, and it's probably going to get you $30 off for a year's subscription. If it doesn't, then they caught on and the deal has been pulled. I'm sorry, I can't do anything about that. But if you keep it on the down low and don't tell anybody and then just go there and do that, we'll be good, okay?

So according to the magazine rack, Jalo is demanding a cheating clause in the pre-nupt to A-Rod. She does not want him cheating, okay? She tells A-Rod, you cheat, you pay. She wants him to sign the pre-up if he cheats, $250 million. That's a pretty payday for cheating A-Rod. Now, I would say if I'm A-Rod, I say the same thing to her.

No problem. I'll sign your 250 million pre-up, but you sign mine for 250 million, too. You're just as at risk cheating on me as I am on you. I mean, kind of. But good luck. Good luck. Boy, I bet you things are really good at the old A-Rod J-Lo house these days. Oh, no.

new news on the free Brittany campaign, long as we're at the magazine rack. We might as well head over here a little good new news on the free Brittany campaign. Now, she wanted to kick Dad out. She's done with Dad. Doesn't want Dad to be part of her money anymore. And she went to the courts and said,

I want Dad out. I want him gone. Okay? I don't want him part of my deal. Well, the court said, no, the conservator. that's fine.

Uh, your dad can still be there. And, uh, your sister's been the co-conservator, uh, since 2008. And then a dad became the sole conservator in 2019 because her attorney resigned. And so she has Instagram that she's doing fine. She's afraid of her father, according to her attorney. And, uh, the judge said, uh, no, uh, fine. I'm not going to suspend I'm not going to suspend

Jamie Spears from his conservatorship and you know everything's fine but I'm not going to rule out petitions for his removal or suspension later on down the road. Now Brittany says hey no problem

if he doesn't if he's not going to leave then I'm not going to perform again as long as he's in charge of my career I'm not going to perform again. Oh okay well we'll see how that works out now i will say that uh since uh dad has been uh part of the deal and uh you know work in the conservatorship she's out of debt and worth about 60 million is that because of

brittney or is that because of dad i mean brittney's making the arguments that that's because of her right and because of she's been performing I would tend to agree with that as well. Because Brittany could never be broke. Right? Not now. She puts out a new album and she's worth another $100 million. She goes back to Vegas and performs for, you know, six months, three days a week.

And Vegas is going to pay her $100 million or more. So, you know, probably more. A hundred million is probably nothing. Ooh, what's this about? Katie Perry down here on the bottom rack. Katie Perry tweeted the first thing I did when the presidency was called is text and call my family members who do not agree and tell them I love them and I'm here for them. Hashtag family first.

Call your family today. Happy Sunday with a heart. Katie Perry, that's so darn cute. She's a new mommy. She wants everybody to get along. It's just so nice. And of course, the loving people. on her side of the aisle who she is I mean Katie is on their side she is on the side of all you people all you

biden lovers all you Trump haters she's on your side they will all be for that too right because that's what that's what Joe Biden is preaching let's all get along it's a beautiful thing he's going to be the president for both not just the Democratic Party but the whole nation right So I'm sure all the people that follow Katie feel that way too, right? Let's turn the page here as long as we're in the magazine rack. Oh, no, that's not the case. Truth is, rich white people such as yourself, were never at risk, no matter who won this election. To you, this is more a disagreement of opinions.

To the rest of us, this election was a matter of life or death. So no, I won't be calling my family to console them. I refuse to bow down to my oppressors. Oh, stop it. I refuse to extend an olive branch to the people who don't think I should exist. No, we think you should, you know, it's okay for you to exist. It's not okay for you to just shove your beliefs down our throat. Okay, I got to stop.

I'll calm down. You can disagree on pizza toppings and TV shows, Katie, not basic human rights and decency. so as you can see as you can see uh everyone just wants to get along right right some headlines in the news uber's new feature will let you reserve rides up to 30 days in advance and pick your favorite driver i like that idea ultra beauty uh just inked a big time deal with target going to open stores inside target locations? Wow, that's interesting. And I saw an email, a separate email,

come through for Spotify, as they are buying the ad platform megaphone for, according to this, $235 million. It's pretty good. If you don't know what megaphone is, it's where that's the platform that podcasts,

podcasting companies use, and they put out the podcast, and they add, commercials and you can put commercials in and they track your podcasts and they have information on who the you know who's where the podcast are being listened to and all that kind of information so it's a pretty good pretty good platform and I'm guessing well worth 235 million dollars for Spotify Apple yesterday ended a 15 year relationship with with their product launch,

the virtual event called One More Thing. They released its latest slate of Mac computers featuring the M1 chips, their own chips. So goodbye Intel. I'm sure they're still going, their deal is still going to be with Intel for a little while. I don't know their contractual arrangements, but Apple's been teasing this for quite a while.

And now it's finally come true. that they're going to be using their own chips instead of Intel. That's a big deal. That's a big, big deal. I know. I don't know. I don't know. I guess he's been, you know,

Tim Cook has really been trying to, you know, do that and invested a lot of money over the years. But I guess that means now that, you know, the iPhone, previous versions, apps developed for iPhones could now be used on Macs. new hardware includes the super thin macbook air the new macbook pro with more battery life the macbook mini desktop all right good and i guess the new big sir os also drops today uh cool and today is a big shopping day for uh for the chinese uh it's a big shopping event day it's singles day i know

i know maybe you could you know log on and uh if you have actually access to the Chinese internet, maybe you log on. They kicked off at 12.30 a.m. local time. Consumers already spent $56.3 billion. And this was created by Ali-Babwa. Ali-Ali-Ali-A-Babwa. That's Alibaba. I got it. Jack Ma, Daniel Zhang, who created,

who are the heads of Alibaba. Although Jack, I think, is retired now. Daniel may be too, called Singles Day. And the date 1111 was picked because it looks like bare branches, single and unattached. Oh, okay. Well, isn't that cute? But, you know, so we'll see how the, I mean, they were ready for this, right? So get this.

They already prepped for 3,000 chartered flood. lights, cargo ships, and 3 million logistics workers, and 10,000 mobile lockers. So, I mean, if you don't think it's a logistical nightmare for these websites and what they produce and the commerce that they produce, it most definitely is. And it puts in new light, you know, that's what Amazon does too, right? And that's why they have their own stuff now. You see the Amazon semis, the AMI is. on my trailers, Amazon airplanes,

Amazon drones, Amazon cars, because that's what they do. And they deliver products to you. It's just amazing. And as long as I can order something on Amazon and have it at my house in a day, I'm good. However, I will say that's starting to slip a little bit. This whole pandemic thing is really frustrating with products now.

And, you know, what used to be a day is now a week for some products. And it's very, very disheartening. And I think we need to work on that a little bit there, Amazon. And other companies as well, Walmart and Sam's Club. How about we work on that whole thing about I order it and you deliver it a lot faster than what you've been delivering? How about we work on that? Okay. Okay.

We'll talk to you later now. You go and work that out, okay? Okay. Good for you. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts. So I read a story yesterday, and I don't know if it's true. I want to believe that it's not. But this story says Israel is now.

the country infected with the most recent country in fact infected with a new strain of the coronavirus that was first identified in mink farms in denmark so according to this the world health organization announced last week that six countries including denmark and the u.s reported new coronavirus cases linked to mink farms Italy the netherlands Spain and sweden the other nations. Denmark instituted stricter procedures after the virus dropped from minks to humans. Since June, 214 human cases of COVID-19 associated with mink farms have been identified in Denmark, but only 12 cases were found to be a new variant of the Novell-Coneuronavirus.

Now, according to this story, the government has ordered the slaughter of an estimated 15, to 17 million minks in the country. I can't believe that a country is going to sell. I mean, that's an industry. And they're just going to slaughter these animals, 15 to 17 million minks? No. The new strain, according to this article,

known as Cluster 5, may have decreased sensitivity to antibodies which could impact future vaccines, although studies are still being conducted to verify this. Now, three Israelis who recently returned from Denmark were diagnosed with coronavirus and is believed that they may have contracted the new strain. They don't know that.

The genetic sequencing on samples from the three, they're waiting to get back. I just, I mean, we're just going to kill the entire mink industry in Denmark. I don't know how many minks. How many minks are there in Denmark? That's a good question. So I look up Mink population And the first thing that pops up

is Denmark has now walked back The mandatory Hey, kill all your minks So according to they backtracked According to now they are just recommending That farmers kill all mink They're talking about some of these They were already

killing minks They were culling the mink farms already unaffected with the coronavirus, they were saying that, oh, you know, it looks like we're going to kill them. There are more than 200 mink farms in Denmark,

and they're ready to kill them all. Just wipe them out. We don't want any more minks. You can go. We'll breed some more. We'll bring in some more. But right now, get out of here.

I mean, there were more than 15 million minks in the country prior to the cult. And are you going to be able to kill every mink? in Denmark? I mean, are you sending out the mink police? Probably.

That's probably exactly what's going to happen. If you own a mink farm in Denmark, bless your hearts, get ready to kill your minks. Denmark, the home of the world famous Copenhagen Fur Exchange, is going to be doing some hurting. Doing some hurting, having some hurting, be a part of some hurting. H-U-R-T-I-N-G.

Because if you're going to start killing all these minks, wow. I mean, A, isn't even legal. And B, is, do we have to worry? I mean, we've got millions of minks,

and a dozen people have come down with the coronavirus that they're saying is part of a coronavirus they caught from minks, and is it going to create a big enough panic? that we've got a whole new strain, a whole new pandemic strain

thanks to minks. Do you want to take that chance or you just want to wipe them all out? Ah, let's wipe them all out. Don't worry about it. Wipe them all out. So as I'm scrolling through the internet on

social media, I come across a post that talks about things to ponder. And it's like a top 10 list of things to ponder. And I go through and I thought, you know, maybe I'll share these with you just because it's, you know, something to ponder. And you can bring this up with your kids at dinner or maybe you're sitting around this weekend and

you can bring it up and say, hey, I got some things for you to ponder. And I will go from 10 to 1, all right, the top 10 things you should ponder. Number 10, why do people say heads up when you should duck? something to ponder. Why are there no B batteries? I know. At a movie theater, which armrest is yours? I'm not sure if we're supposed to actually ponder these

because I would say that probably it's the right one unless you're sitting next to a left-handed person and then you'd have to wait for an empty seat to get back to all right-handed side armrest, right? Yeah, of course you would. You understand what I'm talking about. Why do British people never sound British when they sing? I don't know.

And we find a lot of British people can sound more American, but Americans can't sound British. That's not in this, but it's just something else to ponder. Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing? Just something to ponder. I just thought I'd give you the top ten things here to ponder. Why do we drive? drive on parkways and park on driveways.

I know. I know. That's seriously something to ponder. What was the best thing before sliced bread? Just, you know, again, we're just pondering here. Why are you in a movie, but on TV? I think you know the answer to that one. Number two of my top ten list of things to pawns.

When do we press harder on the remote? Oh, wait, but why? Not when. Why? Why do we press harder on the remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak? I mean, that's an easy answer, duh, because it works. Hello? Number one, the top ten thing of things to ponder.

If the number two pencil is the most popular, why is it still number two? Oh, thank you. Be here all week. Wish I had a rim shot for you, but I don't really want one. I just know that a rim shot should be there. Why is it still number two? I know, crappy rim shot.

But it was there for you, right? And I've already given you these 10 things to ponder and to use and to share, but I'll leave you with this last tidbit of information that you can use a dinner with your kids or you know straighten them out on a few things right now the current population on the planet is 7.8 billion okay and if you had to estimate how many trees there are worldwide the most recent estimates say that there are about three trillion trees on earth so there's about 400 trees for every person. I don't know if that's good enough.

I don't know if it's bad. It sounds like it should be good enough. It sounds like maybe 400 trees per person should be okay. But you know what they say about plant? No, I'm just asking you know what they say? I should just leave it there. You know what they say? But I'll let you, I'll tell you what they say about, you know,

about trees. You know, the best time to plant a tree was yesterday. So, you know, plant one today is

meaning behind that. So, I should have left it just that, you know what they say? All right, so I'm going to just pretend like

what I just said didn't happen. Okay? So I don't know if it's good or it's bad. We just know that that means there's about 400 trees for every person.

And you know what they say.
