eyes. It's okay. YouTube is back up and running. Okay. I know I kept getting messages last night. I can't get YouTube to load. Thereafter the conservatives, the YouTube won't load. What was everywhere. Okay. It went down about almost 7 p.m. Eastern last night, 6.53 p.m. and Google, i.e. YouTube, knew about the issue. They finally got it fixed. And so it's okay. You're all right. If you're still having issues, it might be on your end,

or maybe you need to restart the app, one or the other. But it should be okay. Now, don't concern yourself with what caused the outage. Okay? Because we're not going to tell you that. But just know that there was. an outage and sure it was all over the world and sure you know the downdetector.com website showed i don't know 286 000 incidents of people reporting issues with their service that doesn't

count the people who were at home going oh this sucks and throw down their phone so you know there was all across the uh the interwebs all of you were having problems it wasn't just the conservatives Okay. Or the liberals. It wasn't just you. Or the Marxist. Yeah. Or the socialist.

It was everybody. But it's back up and running as my point. So you're fine. And quit your winding. And don't worry about what caused it. All right? Just move ahead. Like nothing ever happened.

All right. Welcome to chewing the fat. You know, sure, we've had a few things. to be excited about, or really not that many, just a few things to be excited about. But I wanted to tell you that I got exciting news today. All right. I got news that registration is now open for the Biopesticides Europe 2021 conference. I know.

I know. I was so excited this morning. I was going to take place in Brussels, Belgium on the 9th and 10th of June of 2020. and I am so looking forward to the biopesticides Europe 2021 conference. I cannot wait. Let's hope it happens. Man, do I want to be there? But if I can't make it, if I can't make it, we will report on it here on chewing the fat.

I will let you know what's going on at the biopesticides Europe 2021 conference. Now, they announce some speakers and who is going to be there. And that probably will change due to COVID and restrictions if it happens at all. So I'll wait to announce all of that. But we will definitely be reporting on the Biopesticides Europe 2021 conference. You can count on that because exciting it is. Tropical storm, Etta. Is it Ita?

Tropical storm. You know, hurricane, tropical storm, made landfall, cedar key north of Tampa Bay. And it holds true that maybe Tampa Bay is never going to get another hit, right? I mean, there's some experts that talked about long ago that Tampa Bay is not going to get hit by a storm. Talked about how the storms come up the coast and they start making a turn toward Tampa Bay. And it's the water level is lower, right? in the Tampa Bay area. So it either makes the turn to go below Tampa Bay,

which they have done, or it kicks back out and goes north of Tampa Bay, which they have done, just like this tropical storm did. So it still made, did a bunch of damage. It hit Florida at the 4 a.m. on Thursday, the 12th of November 2020,

with 50-mile-an-hour winds, but, you know, 150-mile-hour gust. There were still plenty of damage. thousands, tens of thousands of customers without power and you are struggling with flooding and no power. So good luck. God bless. I'm sure Mercury One will be there to help.

So go to Mercury1.org and donate or find a way to help if you can. Speaking of Florida, I see where the governor has drafted an anti-mob legislation that would expand the states stand your ground law. And so that means that if there's violent or disorderly assemblies and people are burglarizing businesses, that you'll be able to shoot them. So if a burglary within 500 feet of a violent disorderly assembly, you go ahead and just shoot them.

Okay. All right. I know people are, you know, all wound up about it because they could potentially kill anyone they suspect of looting. Maybe you don't loot. How about that? There's a thought. Maybe you don't ruin other people's property and steal other people's property. There's a thought. I know that. I know. I know that's a big surprise. And I don't want to, I don't want to break it down for you that far. Because I know you'd really like to consider it. and unusual punishment and it allows for the death to be punishment for property crime. Yep, it sure does. It also allows for people to realize maybe they shouldn't do the property crime. Maybe not. Maybe you don't. It also allows that if you block traffic, that would be a third degree felony. And it reportedly grants immunity to drivers who unintentionally kill or injure protesters

who were blocking traffic. So that means I can keep going. Because I'm not intentionally wanting to hurt anyone. I just want to go about my business. I want to be able to use the thoroughfare that's there for automobiles, not rioters and protesters. We'll see if that makes it through in Florida.

Good luck. Certainly it would be nice to have, that's for sure. I don't live in Florida anymore, so it doesn't really matter. But it would be the start of maybe a domino effect of some states, you know, growing some gonads and saying, stop this rioting. Stop it. Stop the pro. Now, remember I said that, you know, it's going to stop anyway because nobody, not even Biden,

Dengelberry Biden, if he ends up being, you know, in the White House and it certainly looks like that's going to happen. He doesn't want it to continue either. I know, you know, he's got to, you know, bow down to the socialist, you know, Nazis of his party, but he doesn't want that to go on. So he's got to put an end to it too. And in Florida, they're talking about cutting funding to cities that cut police departments.

Okay. There you go. I mean, you know, all that means is that you end up not cutting your police department, but you don't fill seats that, empty. You start doing what New York is doing and send, uh, you know, social workers out with police or they're the first responders to a, a non-dangerous call or a mental health call. So they can still get their state money. It'll be, you know, agonizing. And as long as we're in Florida, everybody sent me this story about Vanessa Lee Jones. I got about, I don't know how many people

sent me the story about Vanessa Lee Jones in Florida outside of a Popeye's chicken in St. Petersburg. Not that I've been to that particular Popeyes in St. Petersburg, Florida. No. But Jones 38. So no sign she wasn't drunk. She wasn't under the influence of drugs.

And there was no evidence of mental health issues. I would disagree with that. But, you know, that's another story. According to people who observed Vanessa outside of Popeye's, she was entirely naked and she was busy touching herself in front of Popeyes. They claim that she was just taken care of her own business in front of the dumpster, completely naked. And there was security cameras and, uh, There was a guy that videotaped her because he had his kid with him.

Or there were kids in the vicinity. And that's why the police were called. This is not the first time that Vanessa has been arrested for doing this. Which is not a surprise if you think that maybe there's possible. There was alcohol involved. It's possible. There was some sort of drugs involved. It's possible there was, you know, there's a mental health issue going on.

Possible, right? But I just know that, you know, it's happened before. And not very far from this Popeye. So this is her neighborhood. The last time was outside a 7-Eleven store. And, you know, she was spotted taking care of, you know, personal business in public. So I'm guessing Vanessa does have some issues, okay? But I love Florida.

And, you know, would I call the police on Vanessa? No, not a chance. Not a chance. Would I break out the phone and record? I mean, for news purposes, of course. Yes. Would I go up and interview Vanessa? For chewing the fat, you betcha.

You betcha. I would love nothing more than to interview Vanessa live and on the scene. No way I'm calling the police, though. Sorry, just not going to happen. And as long as we're on people taking care of their own personal bitness, I see where hashtag me too, but Jeffrey Toobin, bu-bye, is no longer working for the New Yorker. So apparently they have the big investigation.

It's been two or three weeks since he was caught, you know, taking care of business on the Zoom call. And according to a memo that was released to the staff at the New Yorker, the investigation regarding Jeffrey Toobin is complete, and as a result, he is no longer affiliated with our company. I want to assure everyone that we take workplace matters seriously. We are committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels respected and upholds our standards of conduct.

Wow, and he confirmed it by tweeting I was fired today by a New Yorker after 27 years as a staff writer. I'll always love the magazine. I'll be able to miss my colleagues and look forward to reading their work. There you have it. So, you know, the accident of a tuban, take care of business cost them just about everything. I, you know, I know he apologized, and I said in the beginning, this is not, we're not, we're going to, there's going to be more come out. It really hasn't, which I'm really surprised. Although, if the New Yorker did their investigation and fired him, that means that there's, you know, possibly more that, uh, due to hippo laws they can't talk about. due to legal mumbo-jumbo they can't talk about

but they could just say we did our investigation and get out. And after 27 years, I mean, you got to give the guy a little bit of a break, right? Kind of. You just say, Jeff, here's a list of stuff, and we're just going to let you go now.

Okay? Go ahead. Bye-bye. Take care. Sorry. So we'll see. We'll see what happens with the Jeff. He'll be fine. You know, he goes to rehab. And he goes to some sex rehab and comes out on the other side.

He'll be fine. Right. Right. Hashtag me-tubin. All right. I'm going to keep going as far as the hashtag me-tubin. So the story about, there's a story about a sex addict who dies. There's a story about virtual sex parties that are happening.

So do we keep going down that road? I mean, I want to. I most definitely want to. So this man, 44, in Thailand, had been going to these parties. And apparently he did a cocktail of drugs and slathered a cream. all over him called Marathon Rub. And then he died of heart attack. So I guess he went here every month

with friends in this hotel suite. And then the cab driver, you know, brought the woman to his room, said he was feeling tired, laid him on the sofa, found him, you know, from the waist down. He was out. And then, you know, he just, laid on the couch and we thought he was tired

and then I shook his body and he wasn't responding. Sure, there's all kinds of drugs laying around. Sure, there's booze there. But there was food too. I mean,

there was fried chicken and deep fried shrimp on a nearby table, so there you have it. I'll worry about it. According to the police, there's nothing suspicious. about his death. A little embarrassing for the family.

I mean, I'm sure they say that the family didn't know. If this guy's going to these sex parties once a month, it's not on the down low. I'm sorry. He may think he's keeping him from the family, but he's not. I'm sorry. Your wife knows.

If you're going to these parties, your wife knows. knows. Okay. All right. And then there's the big story about the virtual sex parties that are offering escape during these lockdowns. Yes. Uh, okay. Uh, aren't those just regular sites? No. No, no, no. These are virtual house parties. Okay. We're putting these shows online. And, all right. So it's not just, uh, it's not just like going to a regular. pornography site. All right.

This is, killing kittens is the leading high-end sex party company, which, you know, takes members for their digital events. And it's for, apparently,

a friend of Kate Middleton's, or, you know, a former pal, created a female friendly place where A-listers get hot and heavy with beautiful 20s and 30. Okay.

They cost about a couple hundred bucks For these Zoom parties And that's, you know, okay. I don't know. I think you could probably get a party for cheaper than that Here in the U.S. All right. So you get dance performances,

you get a couple performances, you get people on their own with single performances, like the lady outside of Popeye's chicken. Only, you know, not outside of Popeye's chicken and there's been like a 400% increase in the website traffic so good for you good for you

and I'm all for killing kittens and their virtual workshops that they're putting on as well so you're also you're not only if you're a member you're not only get to be a part of the party but they also have workshops that you can participate in too

and you know learn about different types of massages and different ways to make yourself feel better and different ways to work on bettering your life so man the COVID-19 lockdown has really

brought out the best in us right I know I know I know. There's plenty out there. There's plenty out there. Not just killing kittens. We could go down the huge list of different clubs and groups you can join to make your, you know, fetish Friday, your weekend wonderless, that much better. You could probably find them on your own.

but I could go down the Purple Mamba Club or the skirt club or field or, you know, the New Society for Wellness Club, and of course, you know, the ever popular killing kittens. I know, I know. The break room. I need something. I need something cold to drink right now. That cooled down a little bit. All right. I know.

It's big guy stuff. Did you see where the French school parents were throwing their kids over the gate? You are going to school, damn it. Oh, you know, they were saying that in French, of course. But, uh, so the school. says, hey, when the school starts, we close the gate. And that's the way it goes. So parents were tardy, and moms and dads were throwing their kids over the six-foot fence outside of the school.

You will go to school. That's it. And so they said, hey, hey, hey, it's only a matter of time before one of these kids gets hurt. So stop throwing your kid over the fence, okay? They issued an attention danger memo. And there's a list of instructions for parents who arrive after the bell. Okay. You can come back at 10 a.m. or 3 p.m. when the gates are reopened.

But don't be throwing your kids over the gate. Look, if you're there late and they close the gate on you, you want your kid to go to school. And you're not, I doubt that someone is literally throwing their kid over the gate. they're just saying, hey, just climb over the gate. It's a six-foot gate. Any kid in America can climb over a six-foot gate, right? Right.

Of course they can. Duh. You're going to school, kid. I don't care what time it is. It's your fault we're late anyway. You can get your ass up over that gate. That's fantastic. Hey, if you are listening to this program right now

and you're not a subscriber to the podcast, you are just a freeloader, and people in America do not like free loaders. In fact, people all over the world, really, don't like freeloaders, okay? Now, if you're a subscriber, while you can subscribe to this podcast for free, that means you're a subscription free loader,

and that's fine. We're all good with that because we're offering it for free. But if you're just listening and not subscribing, Oh, no, that's not good. That's not good at all. So subscribe to chewing the fat. Okay? Choose a platform.

There's a plethora of platforms out there. You know, iTunes, Iheart radio, Stitcher, Spotify, and there's many more. And just subscribe to Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. It's real simple. And it is free. But remember, becoming a subscription free loader is okay. Being a free loader is a free loader is. not okay.

You know, they just don't get it. I see where a school official apologized for what he said about President Trump supporters. And he didn't really apologize for what he said. He called Trump supporters A-wipes with small

man parts. And he, his apology was oh, you know what, my mistake was to include profanity, and for that I'm truly sorry, and I hope the community can accept this heartfelt apology. Well, I'm not part of the main community that you work for as a school principal, but no, I don't accept it. He also wrote on his Facebook post earlier in the year, he ripped Trump's trolls and called them A-Wipes again,

and again, he said they have big trucks and small man parts. And, you know, he's just doing what comes from the top. Their chair of regional school unit, the school board, also made profane remarks about Trump supporters. That's amazing that the parents are all wound up, but they're saying, hey, you know, you're sending a bad example to the kids and everybody's seeing them.

Oh, okay. Yeah. That's true. You are. But, hey, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I use profanity. So, you know, that for that, I'm sorry.

Wish, uh, I hope you can accept. Hope you can accept my, uh, my deepest, my deepest apology for that. I shouldn't have used profanity. Sure, I hate him still. man do I hate him but sorry for using profanity just incredible and now we're supposed to believe everybody gets along

right we all should just get right along okay you first you first oh and we remember we killed the murder hornets we went after destroyed the nest right the first nest that we that we know that we know about

for the murder hornets They destroyed 500 live specimens. And among them were nearly 200 queens. So, man, it is good that we got them. I hope this is the only nest. I'll tell you that. I hope it's the only nest. Now, I know that we're, you know, we're saying that, you know,

it probably is, but I doubt it. I doubt it. They don't even know if any of the queens got out. and created new nests. So, if you're in that neck of the woods, up in Washington State, and you see what could possibly be a murder hornet, report it.

We want those bad boys gone. Okay, we want them exterminated from the face of the earth. Yeah, you heard me. I want them off the planet. Maybe we catch them and send them to Mars? No, we don't want that either. Maybe we send them to the moon? No, we don't want to do that.

either. Okay, kill them. Yep, I'm okay with that. I'm okay with getting rid of the murder hornets. We're finding new animals all over the planet anyway. So what? We could do without the murder hornets. As long as we're in the break room, I might as well look at the, you know, quick look at the magazine rack. I see where Jason Momoa gave an interview to In Style, where he talked about after he got the axe from Game of Thrones, it left him scrambling to pay his family bills. did it, Jason, did it. I mean, after Game of Thrones, we were starving.

I was struggling to pay the bills, and we have babies, and I was in debt. Aren't you with, what's her face, Lisa Bonnet? Because if I remember right, she's made a little bit of cash. She's been in a number of things and made a little bit of cash.

She's worth a little bit of money. So I'm sure you were okay. But if you want me to feel sorry for you, I will. And I know that you were happy to get the, you know, the Aquaman role and the Justice League. And, you know, you've got you're a big superhero franchise now. So you're making the big bucks.

But I'm sure, you know, I'll feel sorry for you. Okay. Here you go. I'll just kind of, I just dripped a couple of tears for you, Jason. You made me feel sad for you. But I'm sure you were okay. I'm sure Lisa said, hey, don't worry about it, loser.

That's what made you feel bad, is that you had to count on her. But you didn't want to tell us that in your interview. Okay, that's fine. That's fine. I get it. I get it. You're a man.

You didn't want to, you know, bent down to the woman. I know, I understand. But I'm just saying that I have a tough time believing that you were, that it was really that difficult for you. But maybe it was. Maybe it was. I look around at the old magazine rack and here's another story about Ellen DeGeneres. Remember, I told you she's over.

It's over. It's done. I know they're trying to make it deal. Is they make it seem like she's back? But no, she isn't. Now, they just laid off a bunch of people at her work. Okay. Now, she told staffers, warner media layoffs were pandemic related.

But according to employees, brands have stopped wanting to work. work with her. Oh. So the layoffs that occurred at Ellen Digital Ventures were, you know, that's part of the Ellen DeGenerous show, weren't part of the Warner layoffs. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. So I guess, you know, Ella's starting to take a big hit, which means that if the digital and the other sponsorships for streaming and digital are taking a hit, she's taking an overall hit. And, uh, bye-bye. You know, they're trying to, they're trying to make room for our girl.

Drew Barrymore. So she's going to be the next, uh, big hit replacement for Ellen DeGeneres. And, you know, you heard it here on chewing the fat, you know, you're welcome. And one last headline here on the magazine rock, or on the magazine rack of, I've, Slipp of the tongue. The Rock says he cried manly tears after the media declared Biden the winner. And that special.

Makes him, you know, that much more of a man, doesn't it? No, it doesn't at all. The Rock, it was bad enough you did your video and your interview with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. But to come out then and say that you cried manly tears after the media declared, Jared Biden, the winner, doesn't make you that much nicer. Just doesn't. I mean, I just, just stop. Just stop.

I'd like to thank Dr. Phil for agreeing with me and agreeing with chewing the fat. I see where he did an interview where he's talking about, there's a spike in depression. Hello, we talked about that on this show that it was coming. There's been a spike in divorce. Hello, we've talked about this on chewing. the fat and how it's coming. He said there's been a lull in people going and getting medical examinations and medical treatments, which means there's going to be a problem with disease. Kids out of school is creating a problem. There's all kinds of issues that aren't going to be

really quantifiable for another year two, five, ten. This is a long-term impact of being in quarantine this lung. Uh, yes, Dr. Phil, I couldn't agree more. And we see that every day getting worse and worse. And yet, what do we have? We have our new leaders telling us that we want to go into lockdown again, which I talked about here on chewing the fact that it was just a feeling I had that they are, we are ready and primed to go into another lockdown. And countries and states are already doing it again. And now we have the Biden, COVID advisor saying that the U.S. lockdown

of four to six weeks could control the pandemic and revive the economy. Could it, Dr. Michael Osterholm? Oh man. They want another lockdown bad. We could really watch ourselves cruising into the vaccine

availability in the first and second quarter of next year. So we're not even talking about getting that vaccine out this year. They wanted in that first quarter, second quarter of next year, because heaven forbid that vaccine comes out while President Trump is still in office.

We don't want that. He said the government could borrow enough money to pay for a package that could cover lost income for individuals and governments during a shutdown. Who are they borrowing the money from? I'm pretty sure that would be they would borrow it from ourselves, which we've been doing,

I mean, they haven't turned the printing machine off. But that's fine. Don't worry about it. Stop whining about that. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring that up again. It's just, you know, I was just thinking about it. You know, I'm sure this doctor is so right.

Shutting down businesses and paying people for lost wages for four to six weeks could help keep the coronavirus pandemic in check and get the economy on track until a vaccine is approved and distributed. Wow. So lock it all down, pay people from the government for four to six weeks and believe me it'll be longer than that. It's got to know, you know what? We said four to six. It's going to have to be eight to twelve. And that may be long. We can't do that as a country.

I'm sorry. We can't allow that to happen. We just can't. We just can't. And they are going to try to allow it to happen. And it is not good. I mean, look, we're already, we're getting stories about most COVID-19 cases in large U.S. cities stem from visits to just a few types of places.

Restaurants, gyms, hotels, houses of worship, you know, just the places where people go. I know, of course, that's, you just have to be careful, please. I just can't. They're, these stories are all. in coordination to getting us to another lockdown. Reducing the establishment's capacity to 20% as opposed to shutting them down entirely could curb the transmissions by 80%.

But, you know, wouldn't a lockdown be better? Wouldn't it lockdown be so much better? Professor from Stanford? Oh yes, of course it would, but we're not talking about that. We're just talking about, you know, trying to reduce the, the amount of places where people go.

That's all we want. So the study, which included researchers from Northwestern University as well as Stanford, analyzed cell phone data from 98 million Americans in 10 major cities, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston were included in that, of course. And the researchers tracked people's movements

to locations such as restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, gyms, and hotels. They're not tracking you, though. You're just silly thinking they're tracking you. But the researchers track people's movements, other people's movements, two locations. You know, the places where people go. Restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, gyms, hotels, doctors, offices, churches, places of worship.

you know, again, just places where people go. And amazingly, that's the predicted increases in infections. So we just have to stop letting people go where people go. Duh. I mean, wow, we are, we are. They want to lock us down and keep us in our homes, man. Quarantine. That is for sure. And look, opening the cruise lines up,

I see where a passenger aboard the first cruise in the Caribbean since the pandemic tested positive for COVID-19. Wow. I mean, good luck to the cruise industry getting back on their feet. Cruise ships don't have feet, Jeff. Don't be silly. No, I know. But according to this, they isolated people. on the ship.

They anchored. I mean, it was carrying 53 passengers, 66 crew, started from Barbados, and apparently, you know, now there's one person tested positive. So I don't even know if you're going to be able to, you know, get the cruise lines back up and running. I thought they were going to put them on hold until after the first of the year,

for sure. But apparently, this was a see preliminary positive the result of a rapid test on C-Dream Yacht Club's C-Dream 1 Well it's not one of those monster cruise ships That's one of those little cruise ships a couple hundred people that's all That's all don't worry about it you know what we need We need to not let people go now these were quick tests on the of the cruises which is what they said they were going to do preliminary when they over

opened up the cruise again. Everyone would get tested before and you'd get tested, you know, ongoing during the cruise. And if you tested positive, they were going to throw you off the side of the ship and then they were not going to worry about it. We're going to hose down in the room that you were in and they were not going to, you know, wave to you as you were left, you know, floating in the ocean. If you were lucky, we'd give you a life raft. But they didn't say that. But that's what they want to do. Now, and we talked about how. When the vaccine comes, you know, they're going to make, are they going to mandate the mask of the vaccine? Because they've mandated the masks.

And that's what they use as an excuse. Look, we are not mandating the mask. It's all private industry. They've decided that if you want to, you don't have to wear a mask. But if you want to shop here, you got to wear a mask. Okay. That's just the way it is. Sure.

The government isn't mandating. although many did, we're just telling you, hey, if you want to, you know, come here, you got to wear a mask. And now, you know, the CDC is changing back

to telling you that, yeah, you know, we said that it's better for people, but everybody should wear a mask. Sure, we at one time said it was okay not to wear a mask, but, you know, now it's good for you to wear a mask,

and it's good for the people who are wearing a mask to also have a mask. I don't understand. I don't understand. Is it good or is it bad? We know from the scientific reports that it doesn't work as well as they want.

Does it help, I guess? But we've been in this mask world now for a while and the numbers still going up because people are getting together in places that people go. And so the numbers are going to go up. That's what happens when you don't. lock it down people gather and so the numbers are going to go up you just have to be careful if you're in a public setting it just is incredible to me that people don't

get it but they want to lock us down and they don't want you to be able to go where you want to go when you want to go that needs to be left up to the government it's just that simple my friend to more Blaze Media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. I'm going to try to reach out to the guy that started to Stop the Tires 2020 for the truckers. No one, you know this. No one supports the truckers more than chewing the fat does or myself. And I wondered how their campaign worked yesterday or Veterans Day.

For those of you not listening live on the 12th of November 20th. but the big stoppage is coming the end of the month 26 through the 29th I'll be fascinated to see how that goes I started following their Facebook group and I see where people are talking posting

and where they you know they were stopping and everything and then I saw one lady posted this is my husband's unit whoa hey I thought this was about truckers okay Anyway, I'm going to try to reach out and talk to the head guy from Stop the Tires 2020 because I want to see how it's going. It looks like it's been really growing big.

And if the trucker shut down, man, this country will shut down. You know it as well as I do. So let's keep them happy. You know what? I'm a fan of that. Let's keep the truck. I see, speaking of on the road and driving, I see Uber posted earnings that gave investors, you know, good feeling about the COVID-induced plunge. They won the battle in California, at least Uber and Lyft did.

Sure, they've, you know, their bookings were down. Their bookings were down 53% year over year. Wow. which, you know, they dropped like 75% in the first part of the lockdown. Duh, it was a lockdown, which is what they want to do again, by the way. We just happened to be talking about that. Now, the revenue fell, you know, by 18%. But, you know, the Prop 22 in California means that the gig companies can still do their work.

The gig economy still is, you know, is going well, which is good. You know, I'm a fan. And I saw, you know, last, yesterday we talked about their new deal, where they're going to have a new feature, which I think that it should have been doing this already. And probably people were doing it under the table already. But you can reserve your ride up to 30 days in advance and pick your favorite driver. So if you renew, if you're doing a same thing every day, you know, twice a week, once a week, three times a week, and you're driving two and from a place. Don't you want the same guy, the same person driving you? You have your own driver. It's Uber. It's your own. It's like

having your own driver, but it's Uber. So, you know, if you're going to drive somebody around every day, why not join Uber? And then you just drive that person around for Uber. Wouldn't it be cheaper for you to do that? Anyway, I have to think that through before I, I, actually think about that. Just something to ponder. I did see where in Portland, the Portland commissioner that's been hell-bent on cutting police budgets, she called 911 on the lift driver.

Now, I read the story. It's fun to think about this Portland City Commissioner, Joanne Hardesty, who has been a big proponent of police budget cuts. and you know it's fun to know that she called 9-1-1 well I thought you were against you know you wanted to cut the police department yet you called 911 and you know so but she called it on her lift driver because the lift driver cancelled her ride and asked her to get out of his car

now I don't want to be on her side but I kind of am when you hear the story she became irate when he refused to roll the windows up in the car. All right. So she gets the lift ride and he won't roll up the windows. Now it's Portland's getting cold. She's cold, right? And she asked him to roll up the windows.

And he said, no, he's not rolling up the windows. Now, according to Lyft, he's supposed to, I guess, have the windows open when there's a passenger because it, you know, lessens the possibility of the spread of coronavirus. You're supposed to have the windows down while the passengers in the car. Well, it also, you know, there's a little common sense when it's cold out.

Maybe you don't have them open all the way. You know, maybe you open up the front ones and not the back ones. I don't know. You know, it's a little common sense for your passengers. So she calls 911 and says, you know, hey, I want, I want out of the car. car, you know, I'm calling on one because he pulls over and says, I canceled your order,

and you got to get out. So he pulls over in a gas station and says, I get out of here. Now, she refuses to leave the vehicle. She says it's cold. I'm a woman alone. Uh, you know, so she starts to get in a fight with the lift driver. And he calls 911 after she calls 911. So the police show up and no crime was committed.

and she can only order a lift so she can't the police the 911 call her can't order a lift for her I don't know I don't know who to be what side to be on here you know because it's common sense all right she probably is not the nicest of people so I'm sure that the lift driver was like oh god I can't take this anymore get out I canceled your order. Here, I'm pulling over, get out. I'm not taking you anywhere.

I'm not listening to you, bitch, about the windows being down. You know they're supposed to be down. Now, on the other side of that, common sense tells you, just roll the windows up a little bit, take her to where she needs to go, do your duty as a lift driver, and be done with it. I don't know. I don't know whose side I want to be on.

But I do find it interesting that she, of course, went in trouble, calls 911. Huh. Huh. maybe we shouldn't cut the police department. Might be a, might be an idea there. Maybe.

Bad, nah. And many of you sent me the story, either email chewing the fat of the blaze.com or social media. Um, sent me the story about the free Popeye's chicken sandwich that you can get. And, you know, I'm a fan. Okay, great.

Anytime you can get something free, but it really isn't free. You know, it's advertised as, you know, you can get a free chicken sandwich at no cost if you spend $10 or more at participating Popeye's restaurants. You get one sandwich allowed per day and you have to order it through the website or the app. So, I mean, it's free. Sure. There are usually four bucks, $3.99 for a Popeye. chicken sandwich, that's pretty steep.

But okay, you know, it looks good. I haven't had one yet. I know, don't look at me like that. I, you know, I haven't had one yet. But there's not a lot of Popeye's. I don't pass a lot of Popeye's in my travels. So, you know, I have to go way out of my way if I wanted a Popeye's chicken sandwich. I do want one, but I don't necessarily want one bad enough to go way out of my way

to get it. However, so if you order it on the website, or the app, and you get $10 or more other stuff, then you can get a sandwich at no charge. So I guess it's free, but is it? That's what it says. That's what it says. Gosh darn it.

You can get the original or the spicy for free as long as you, you know, order $10 or more of other stuff and order through the website or the app. So it's free and it's good now until November 9th, which is National Fried Chicken Sandwich Day. I probably brought to you by Popeye's. And did I mention that you need to do that through the Popeye's website or app? because the deal isn't valid for third-party delivery orders. So sure there's a few rules or regulations, but it's a free Popeye's fried chicken sandwich.

Enjoy. Music.
