He's got over the, over the decades, he's assembled a truly remarkable collection of some of the most important watchmakers of our day.

He is, he loves Rishar Mille timepieces, which are known for their cutting-edge technology, engineering, and materials. He's selling one of the rarest Rishar Mill watches, the RM 25-01 Adventure Tour Billion, chronograph, was made in collaboration with Rishar and Sylvester. It is really kind of cool, actually.

It's got a chronograph for tracking it last time. It's got the Tour Billion Accuracy, compass with removable vizal and carbon cover, a level to promote accuracy while using the compass and a tiny compartment above the crown to hold emergency water purification tablets. Rishar only made 20 of them $250,000 and $500,000

somewhere in between that for the watch. Wow, that's pretty good. He's also selling his RMO 52-01 features a pink gold skull at his center estimated $350,000 to $700,000 for that. That's got a teasing piece

ceramic and carbon nanotubes with a skeletonized movement featuring the skull. Wow. And he's got a bright green one that he's selling created in honor of Olympic Sprinter Johann Blake. That is selling between $300,000 and he's got a

Richard Mell Mell Mell watch that's the loan more and the expendables three. That's going between $60,000 and $120,000. That must be what, a dump? of a watch. And then he's got another one

that he's auctioning off. That's going for 40, between 40,000 and 80,000. What is that, the time X of the group? Apparently, he wore this watch during the film Daylight. And that, when he wore

that watch, that shot Penelé, that A-R-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-R-A-E-A- to Fain-E. and put them on the world map for watch collectors. But, I mean, not as much as Rishar, because this one's only going for like between 40 and 80,000.

Rishar spits on 40 to 80,000, man. And then there's, I mean, and then there's a big collectibles being sold for celebrity sale for hope that they're trying to, you know, raise money for this charity. And the monkeys, Mickey Dolan has got some stuff signed. Barry Manilow, Diana Ross, benefiting the City of Hope Medical Research Treatment Center focused on cancer and other serious diseases. And that's going to the virtual sale.

Oh, that kicks off in four days. I mean, if you're listening today on the 13th of November 22, 20, November 17th, with a ticketed VIP preview event hosted by Will and Greystar Eric McCormick and featuring appearances by veteran actor Craig Beirko, who Dukes of Hazard star, John Snyder, and others. It was like the Comic Con for auctions. Other memorabilia is sent to go on the block, autographed CD copy of Vibra Streisand's Ghosts album, and a vintage Who poster signed by band members, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend.

Check out the full list of items. Ooh, they do have a full list of items. list of items here at givsmart.com. I don't have to be a VIP member. Brows and buy. Uh huh cause contribute. No, I just want to view items under browse and buy. Oh, they're just pictures of stars. Paul and Linda McCartney, Crosby Stills and Nash. That those are a thousand, hundred bucks. Everybody loves Raymond. Wow, that's starting off at a dollar. Oh, a lone ranger bullet? A silver bullet? I might like that for a buck. I know it's an auction. I got it. Leave me alone. It won't be that in the end, Jeff. No, I know.

But a silver, uh, Lone Ranger's silver bullet for a buck? I'm all about that. John Snyder is one of the hosts and he's got some, a guest signed autograph picture starting off here at a dollar. Wow. They are. This is like the comic con of, of auctions. But it's for a good cause, so leave you alone. And then the first ever space selfie

is going up for sale. I know. The Neil Armstrong shot on the moon. The first ever space selfie is going up for auction. There's 2,400 photos voyage to another world collection up for grabs at the

Christie's, including the first images of Earth, from space, the lunar surface, dark side of the moon, spacewalks, moon walks, and that's looking at the photo taken by Buzz Aldrin estimated to be worth 30 to 50,000, oh, that's pounds,

about 40,000 to 66,000 US dollars at auction. That's not bad. It seems like it would be worth more than that, especially in today's world for the, for a selfie from space, Buzz Aldrin, the first selfie, kind of cool.

That online auction begins already on, and it goes through the 20th of November 2020. So good luck. I got to get on to Christie's for that. You know, I was looking at the story of Stallone and his watches. And there's a picture of Stallone there. And it's, you know, just a picture of him at going to some event. And he's got, you know, HBO behind him as the screen. And it's, you know, this is the photo shoe for when the stars arrive.

He's got his, you know, turtleneck on his jacket. He's going in for his photo shoot. Say, hello, I'm here. And he's turning toward the camera with his fist up with the rocky pick with the fist up, you know. But you can really tell the angle of this shot, the work that he's had done. And, you know, I'm not opposed to. Good for him. You know.

But it's just people, you can really start that angle of shot you don't want in the movies. Stelmester would say, no, we're not using that angle. Give me the camera angle the other way. Because that shot really, you can tell. And that leads me into the Dally Parton story. I feel like we talked about this before, but she did an interview with Oprah on her Apple TV Plus show conversation.

Ugh. That talked about all the work that she's had done. And her quote, which I do love, I'll look as young as my plastic surgeons allow. I love that. I ain't got time to age. I'll look as young as my plastic surgeons allow.

That's great. And now she is owning up to it all, though. Right? She's saying, I ain't got time to be old. I can't stop long enough to grow old. She's going to be 74. Remember she's in talks to be in Playboy for her 70s. 5th birthday.

Now, she claims that, you know, as long as the spread is in good taste. Yeah, we all want that. But, I mean, who's not going to look? I mean, of course you are. You can't say no, because you will. It's just the way it is. So it's the way it is. And she admits, I mean, she knows three cuts to clown face.

She says that her, you know, she relies on cosmetics and makeup, which she sleeps in and cosmetic procedures. And she even, she quotes, I'm going to look like a cartoon. And she's okay with that because she wants to, she thinks, you know, that this makes her look younger. And if it makes her look younger and she feels good about herself, good for her. But Sly, I don't think. Sly still looks great. I don't, no doubt about that. before he let his hair go.

Remember during the pandemic, he decided that he really liked his hair. Gray, he was going to stop color, and it was going to be, you know, he's still alone with the white hair now. And, but the angle of the shot, man, woo, sly. Easy, bro. So, you know, I, I don't talk a lot of sports, although I love sports. And, you know, I really do. I don't necessarily watch a lot of it anymore.

I do watch college football, quite a bit. Love college football. I see where a lot of college football games are being canceled this weekend. If you're listening to the show close to the Friday the 13th date that this show is recorded on, and, you know, of course, those of you listening live, this weekend, we had a bunch of games being canceled because of the COVID protocols. So, man, college football is going to be tough to get through the season, as they have already canceled and rescheduled games into December.

We'll see how that works out, but it could prove to be an extra long season for college football. There's no question about that. I see where the Super Bowl is back in the news. They're saying that this year's 2021 Super Bowl, the halftime performance will be from the weekend. Yay! So, you know, how they're going to do it?

I don't know. Is the weekend going to perform, you know, someplace else from his house in front of a laptop. Wouldn't surprise me. But we'll see how that performance turns out. But this weekend, you've got the Masters, right? A big, the huge golf, you know, the Masters, that racist event. Longest running sports event broadcast by a single network, CBS,

65th consecutive year airing the Masters. And we saw one golfer make two hole in ones already as they gear up for the masters. So, you know, it might be fun. I rarely watch golf because I used to golf a lot in my life. And then I just kind of, you know, I had my club stolen. That's a whole other story in itself. But the only club that I have left now is my favorite putter that I use at the, you know, the put-putt-putt golf.

events that I do. And we should have a chewing-put-putt-putt golf tournament event. I mean, that's something to think about. So I've got my ballpark Frank, half a hot dog putter that my dad won at a tournament of golf tournament, you know, 100 years ago. And they were one of the sponsors. And, you know, he walked away with a, you know, a ballpark Frank, half a hot dog with, you know, a grill fork stuck in it as the putter.

I still have that. I love that putter. Man, I love that thing. And, uh, it's heavy. it's great and I just had it forever that's all and it brings back little memories and brings a little smile to my face you know what I'm saying? Yeah you know I do and then we had the NASCAR driver get suspended

I know I don't even know who he was he's not a NASCAR driver he drives the from the truck series he's a NASCAR truck series driver and he posted a picture of himself getting ready to, I don't know, eat lunch or have a late night snack. And it was a photo of a swasticker.

And he said it was taken out of context and it was insinuating, I'm prejudiced. No, I can't be prejudiced. I was, uh, West Africa was my home for 13 years. Oh. Oh, okay. Well, no problem then. So the swastika was taken out of context.

Yeah. You can always take those swastika pictures out of context. You never know. I don't know. I haven't seen the picture. They claim that it's a picture of a toaster strudel with the glaze put on in the shape of a swastika. I haven't seen it. I don't know.

If that's true, I don't know how you take that out of context unless you say I drew it on there and if you listen to the audio which i don't think it was a video it was just a snapshot of him saying i hate these this so much i just i put it on my struddles and i just eat it because i hate it so much something like that i guess you could do that and say that but good luck good luck god bless now let's go to the break room i need a drink of uh ice cold refreshing Oh my gosh. So good. So did you see the woman who has gone viral now, the TikTok video?

Oh, I've got TikTok news too. We've got to talk about TikTok in China. The TikTok video that showed this girl making a stake for her boyfriend. And people all wound up and it just, it's dangerous. shouldn't try this method at home. What are you doing? This is just stupid. So she cuts, you know, this piece of the steak in two pieces

and puts it in a toaster. And then, you know, heats it up and that's the steak that she's making for her boyfriend. It should never be repeated. This is a crime and you could spell it's fire

and you don't cook steaks in the toaster like that. Yeah, I know. It's a TikTok video. Okay, the grease could drip down in the toaster and start a fire and the old... I know. It could have. It really could have.

But, uh, look, people have cooked burgers on an iron, hot dogs in a dryer, spaghetti and meatballs and a coffee maker. That's really funny. And there's just stupid people looking to get viral videos. it worked. That's awesome, though. I have not seen the spaghetti and meatballs in a coffee maker, but I bet that's funny.

The hot dogs in a tumble dryer is good, too. I like that. Remember to subscribe to Chewing the Fat podcast, this very podcast that you're listening to. If you are listening to this show right now and you're not a subscriber, your life could

Oh, I said I didn't want to talk a little bit about TikTok. saw that President Trump's executive order forcing TikTok to either sell to an American company or face a ban over national security concerns back in September.

I know that they're trying to work out a deal, but then it was between Oracle and Walmart, and they seemed to sign off on that deal, and then Bight Dance, the owner, of TikTok says the government left it on. They just said, yeah, that's fine. Then they didn't do anything with it. So there's a deadline for bite dance to divest its stake in TikTok. You know, I think that deadline is now. So we'll see what happens.

I know that they have, they say they've applied for an extension to the deadline. I don't know what's going to happen. I know that Trump, uh, just signed another executive order prohibiting U.S. investments in Chinese firms determined to be owned or controlled by the country's military. What's? Almost everything. I would say, you'd be hard pressed to say that you're not owned by the Chinese military because that's the government, right?

You know, I don't know. I don't know. We'll see what happens. Remember, though, I told you about the dark side of TikTok and what makes it so bad. I know Jeff Brown posted from his bleep. leading edge account, talking about what's, you know, what's so bad about it. And it talked about, you know, they were fined for violating child privacy laws in the United States. And then it turns out that it's even worse than that. They, a researcher, reverse engineered TikTok and determined

exactly what information was being set back to bite dads. The app collects everything about a user's phone. It documents the phone's hardware specs. And, every app that's been downloaded. It pings the phone's GPS location roughly every 30 seconds. So that means they know exactly where you are at all times. It knows which Wi-Fi network its users connect to. It documents the address of the router as well as every other device connected to each network. And it's written software code to allow it to potentially download software to Android phones.

and then run that software without the user's knowledge or consent. Okay. And the information goes back to China. So sure, Google and Facebook are bad, but they're not that bad, or at least we can't prove that they're that bad. So we'll see what happens with TikTok. That's just a strange thing, man. TikTok is a phenomenon in and of itself,

and yet, you know, there are a problem. places around the world that have already banned it and the U.S. might be the next place to ban it. We'll love to see. I see where Spielberg's daughter is back in the news again. Remember we talked about her a while ago as she was, you know, dancing online for her, you know, doing her sex work. I'm sorry, her dance work. And she says now that she's in a great place. She's enjoying work and it's giving me a whole new life.

affirming way to be. Yep, I can just, anytime I want, I just go into work and dance, you know, you know me. I just take my clothes off and spin around. And she's in a good place. She said it's, uh, she's in the middle of her healing journey. I was, uh, she was in harm reduction.

And that's about doing your best and keeping your goals in mind with any substance that you may have ever had a problem with. and it's about making smaller goals more attainable. So, you know, a couple years ago, she was heartbroken and vulnerable and felt like her soul had kind of been split in two. I was covering that up with drinking, and I'm no longer doing that.

And I'm just, I feel like I had not done the work I needed to do on myself and on my relationships. And I would have been dead within a year if I had to done this. Oh, okay. Well, she goes by the name Sugar Star. It's just, you know, it's not funny. I know she's struggling and I get it, but, you know, she's doing these adult videos and it was not full service.

It's within the bounds of online and dance only. Oh, okay. And, okay, you know, she was arrested and she's been, had a tough time. I get it. But look, dad is Steven Spielberg. All right? And mom is Kate Capshaw. And they

are never going to have to worry about anything in their entire lives and yet they struggle. It just drives me insane. They got seven kids. Spielberg's got seven kids. A couple of them are adopted. He's Capshaw's got a daughter from a previous marriage and then they've got three or four

other kids. And it's just you know, Stephen is worth about $18. $1.8 trillion. When he goes and makes another movie and he can retire the other two kids, it's just, get over yourself.

All right. Now, she said, I actually think once they see how far I've come from the bottom, I was a year and a half ago, they're going to look at this and go, wow, we actually raised a really self-assured young lady. Are they? Are they?

Now, according to everything, Stephen and Kate are all good with it and happy with it and they're you know no problem sugar star you go dance nude and show off your body online all you want it's no problem okay i mean i don't know where else they could be with it other than that right if you say you're against it you can't cut her off otherwise she's going to end up dropping down into that hardcore hole again and it's she's never going to come out of it and then Stephen would never forgive himself. So, I mean, I guess you just have to kind of work to get her out of that through the process.

I don't know. It's just a weird story to me. I find it hard to believe that we're so self-absorbed. My life is so hard. Is it? Is it? Yes, it is. My dad, Stephen Spielberg, he was never home and he's always making movies and he's not around.

well you know go make a movie with them make them take you to the set and figure out you know run a camera or go get coffee for the stars do something it's just agonizing before i get into a couple stories about uh you know covid 19 and the lockdowns i want to talk about uh flying taxis i love this thing that's never going to happen but i like the idea of it so a german startup Lilium snagged Orlando in a deal to launch a U.S. hub for flying taxis. They're going to have a called a vertiport. And it's going to be outside of Orlando. It's near Orlando International Airport. And their precious flying taxi is a five-seater,

Lillium jet. They showed it off last year. It's expected to reach speeds of, you know, 186 miles an hour. It plans to have U.S. Transportation Network ready for commercial flights by 2025. So it's not going to be

just in Orlando, but they signed a deal with the city of Orlando for its first hub for its flying taxis. And there's other companies that are trying this as well. There's the Uber

China's E Heng and Germany firm Volocopter. And they're, you know, looking for money and startups. And Lilliam has got a lot of money already. They're looking for, they've got some money from Tenet, Tencent, the Chinese tech company. And I think one of the Tesla investors is investing in this. So we'll see. They don't even know how much is going to cost.

It's going to be flown. It's like they're like drones. which is a little, I don't know if Americans are ready for that. Right? So it's got two parallel wings and it's got 36 electric engines and, you know,

they face downward for takeoff, tilt back for horizontal flight. And they have the, they're expected to have the transportation network ready for commercial flights. But who knows how much is going to cost? And if people are ready, to do it.

They're saying that's going to create 100 jobs. Okay. Let's hope that it does. I know that you're going to, are you going to, do you feel comfortable? Say you want to get in, you want to fly from Orlando to Atlanta or Orlando to Tampa, you know, pretty fast. And now you don't want to drive and you just take the, you know, the air taxi from Orlando to Miami.

Orlando to Tampa, or Dallas to Houston, Dallas to Austin, right? I mean, any of any states, big city to big city where you may do business, and you're going to have to have a car there. So are they going to provide lilyum rent-a-cars, or are they going to have a deal set up with Uber and Lyft at their landing ports? I don't know. That's a big infrastructure plan to build on. And, you know, it might be a gig to look at.

And, you know, it might be a gig to look into, actually. If you're, you know, if you're looking for something to do and you've got nothing else to do. But, uh, anyway, as I was saying, are you ready to get in and not have a pilot? I don't know. They're talking about the aircraft, you know, piloted remotely from the ground. Oh. Okay. So there's not going to be a pilot.

You're just going to get in. And the top goes down. And off you go. You know, for the right price, yes. But I don't know if we could, I don't know if we're ready for that. I really don't. All right. We talked yesterday about the lockdowns, possible new lockdowns coming and states grabbing their power back.

Now that, you know, we're seeing the numbers continue to climb in coronavirus cases. And we got that from Chicago. as Mayor Lightfoot did her stay-at-home advisory with new restrictions on gatherings and meetings which are, you know, nice of Mayor Lightfoot. It's part of her Protect Chicago strategy to stop the spread of COVID-19.

They'll take effect coming up on Monday and they're going to last for at least 30 days. Isn't that special? Isn't that special? Look, Chicago right now is on track to have more than a thousand people die of the virus by the end of the year. And we're averaging 1,900 cases a day, and in some areas they're seeing positivity rates of 25%. And we just, we can't, we can't allow this to happen. And we can't allow you people to get together.

So I'm going to limit. For some reason, they all got together and decided that 10 people together was the limited amount. So the new capacity limit is 10 people on meetings and social events, birthdays, weddings, business dinners, funerals. This capacity does not supersede industry-specific guidelines, which she gives a link to that as well. And she also recommended that families celebrate Thanksgiving virtually instead of gathering in person. That's so nice. we've got to cancel norm Thanksgiving plans

particularly if they include guests that don't live in your immediate household of course duh you don't want to have friends and family over you know it just want to look it's the flu and COVID fatigue

have the potential to truly create a catastrophe that could be avoided here oh okay so the way to avoid it is to just stop doing things that people do. It just drives me insane. And of course, the governor of Michigan tells everyone not to attend Thanksgiving or Christmas

gatherings. I know people are tired of living like this, but we have to double down. We potentially could be looking at the deadliest, most grim days of this virus ahead of us. We've got to lock it down and make it the worst ever while President Trump is still in office. Okay? So that way it'll be so much better and you'll be just in such a good mood when and if Joe Biden becomes president at the end of January. Can we do that please? Can we just please do that? That will be great. Thank you. And I see where Corey Lewandowski has tested positive for coronavirus. He's another Trump insider testing positive. I mean, the press

Have a field day with that He's out and about And the mask haters And the world is just a bad place And good for him Good for the Trump people They've got They deserve it

Okay All right He's part of the super spreaders Is what he is Well, he's been in Pennsylvania I know, but he's with the Trump people So And he was with the

your super spreading events before and he didn't test positive. Well, he does the positive now. Yep, he sure did. And I see where, oh my gosh, Ticketmaster is exploring the negative COVID-19 test or vaccination to attend concerts. So if I, the pre-concert checklist is going to be, hey, do you have your vaccination? or have you tested negative in a, what, a 24-hour to 72-hour window, that three-day window? If you have that report, you have your papers. Papers, please.

That's what New York is doing. You can't even get into the state without your papers, agonizing. So, of course, that's not official yet. They're just talking it out. They're just trying to figure out, you know, what they're going to do because, you know, how people are going to, you know, use the app and they're going to have to test it and make sure that everything is right and working perfectly. So you're able to, you know, upload your information. And then we're going to make people feel safe because we don't want them to think that we're storing their medical records.

We don't want people to think that. That's just silly. Of course we're not doing that. Duh. I mean, we've got to figure out how we get that third party health information. you know, without us keeping it so that we have people's, you know, we want their information, of course, and we want to know if they've tested positive or negative,

and then if they've tested, if they test positive after the event, we want to be able to contact Trace, where they sat and who they went, the day they went, the concert they went to, and all the people that were around them. We ought to be able to, you know, contact all of them, but we don't want to make people think we're saving their information.

That would just be wrong, and people probably would be really, really upset if they knew we were saving their information. So we don't want to do that, but we're going to save your information because we want people to, you know, we want people to know if you became positive and they were sitting by you. So who knows what's going to happen?

I mean, we talked about it. It's going to be, you know, private companies like this that are going to say, no problem. You don't have to, you know, the government can say, no, we're not mandating the vaccine. We're not mandating the tests.

That's just how it is. But if private companies won't do business with you unless you get the test or unless you get the vaccine, that's up to them. That's not up to us. We're not mandating it. That would be wrong. but if they tell you that, you know, they're not going to do business with you, that's just the way it is. It's just going to be awful. It's just going to be awful.

And just expect more and more headlines that talk about Biden forging ahead with his transition plans and Trump still refusing to accept the election results, fueling that speculation that the American election was rigged and a few telling you that that it's dangerous rhetoric at a time when the country is already deeply divided and that's just false information being spread. Just be ready for more of that. Okay, that's coming. It's going to be, it's coming. It's already here, actually. It's just going to continue. And so just be ready for it. Just know that it's going to be out there and know and know what you're looking at because that's what, you know, inside of all stories, are, you know, the opposing election, the opposing party was rigged.

It was rigged. And that's false information. It wasn't rigged. And the country is deeply divided and needs to come together. And Joe Biden is forging ahead with his transition plans. Joe Biden can forge ahead all he wants. Technically, he's not the president-elect. Okay?

And technically, Donald Trump is still the president, whether you like it or not. So everything still goes on Whether Donald Trump says Okay, I concede And Biden I don't want him to concede now You know that I don't want him to concede now I just want him to not concede

And then on January 19th or 20th Whenever the hell they have their signing in moment at the White House Just leave Just hop on, you know Have the Trump plane land and get out of there. He doesn't even have to use Air Force One and just fly out of there

with the big finger raised out the window. So when the press shoot looks at him, he's just giving them all the finger. I just... Is that wrong? Is that wrong on me? Yeah, it probably is. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content

So they don't like to give those full numbers up. but it's doing fine, although the, you know, the content that they have needs is not as broad as they probably would like. But all of these, I mean, Netflix's got $167 million, at least here in the U.S. Right? They've got almost $200 million, if not $200 million by now, globally.

That had every, that had everything going for it, except that it was all wrong. Oh, seriously, it had everything going for it, but it was just all wrong. I know that it's Fat Pout Friday, so we've got a ton of stories I never got to. But, you know, I went this, last weekend we had the meteors shooting across the

sky and New Jersey and all kinds of people were filming the event and I don't worry about it. It's just a fireball event. Stop it. Don't worry about it. Okay. I don't worry about it. It was some cool shots from some home cameras that saw it going by and car cameras that were on the road when it was going by.

And I've seen meteors like that when I lived in Florida. I have not seen one here in Texas. I don't think. Maybe there was one. But in Florida, I saw, you know, a couple of, them, you know, in the morning sky, early morning sky. You know, and you're driving, you're driving along and then, and it's really, it's cool, it's scary, and it's exciting, all at the same time.

And then you really realize that it's gone and you've got to get to work so you move on with your life. But, you know, it's got a cool seeing it. And, you know, back in the day. day when I saw it 100 years ago, you know, I didn't, I didn't have the phone to record the, you know, streak across the sky. It's just like, did you see it? Yeah. And, you know, maybe somebody, some television network had a camera up on the roof that caught it. But, you know, they, every now, now everybody's got a recording device and home cameras and car cameras that have the capability

of, you know, recording and seeing, you know, what, and you can get it right then. And, you know, So that's kind of cool. And I saw where another thing in the fat file since the election, you know, gambling, one big around the U.S. throughout the election, which was really cool. Maryland, South Dakota, Louisiana, approved sports betting. That's really cool, right? I mean, and that's a good way for these states to make some money. All right. Virginia approved casino gambling in four locations.

Nebraska authorized adding casino games at its horse racing tracks. Colorado expanded the number of type of casino games it can offer, along with eliminating some wagering limits. That's kind of cool. Americans are some gamblers. And this is why, look, this is giving Americans hope, right? They hope that they can win big gambling. And the argument against it would be your, you know, people that need it the most

shouldn't be gambling but you know give some people some hope that's why you have the lotto man we gotta have some hope that's what that's what we're here for if we don't have hope

then it's over and I want hope don't you I really do I would love to have hope don't take hope away from me please

don't do it like there's always hope that you could be the one to have punched Andrew Como in the face. You know, if he wasn't the governor? I saw where he, his headline, uh, if I wasn't governor in New York,

I would have decked him, period, talking about the president. Shut up. I know he's trying to be Mr. Big Shot on Howard Stern. But shut up. Uh, you know, if you want to play, then we'll have him play. Oh, okay.

Will you go? gov you are agonizing I can't take that guy and I was reminded in email form Chewing the fat at the blaze.com from Stephanie that my campaign my campaign of

Know Your Body campaign has already started and Joe Biden beat me to the punch years ago ha ha ha ha ha that's funny that there is funny. I got it though. I got it. And in email form, I was, I was asked about doing a self-help column, you know, chewing the fat, helping people. I talked about that a little bit that I could,

you know, start something like that. And I'm reminded from Garrett in Colorado that says, you know, he reads the Dear Amy column in the Denver Post. And when readers problem isn't how to handle the indignity of interacting with or being related to a Trump supporter, her answer is always go see a real counselor. That's an easy answer. That's an easy out for these self-help columnists. At least I would be willing to, you know, give people some tips. Like Garrett asked, I suppose I'd like to find advice on how to better, you know, make better use of my time. Now he makes a little joke, ha, ha, ha.

Maybe the first step is, you know, not writing this email. Ha, ha. I mean, you know, that's probably right. But one of the things that we can all do to make a better use of our time is to realize whether we're a morning person or a night person and then better use our time in that window instead of fighting being a night person or fighting being a morning person. You need to use the time that you have. Now, if you're a night person and you have to work mornings, that's tough.

I can't help you with that. That means that you're just going to have to, you know, make yourself struggle and work into a day person. And I know that's even a difficult task. But start early. You're going to want to get up early and you want the beginning of your day to just be your time. And realize what's good and healthy for you to get your day started. And then the first morning sunshine comes out. Go for that morning walk and just believe that this is your time.

time and get a little bit of that vitamin D and that fresh air every day and then get back home and get in the shower and get that day started. Huh? Now, if you're really struggling after that, see a counselor. I will say that Garrett had a good idea about a chewing the fat get-together, though at the Blaze Studios. Now, part of the idea was that it would be an all-expense paid contest. That's probably not going to happen, my friend. It could be an all-expense paid trip by you.

But I get together at the studios and then a tour, and then maybe we all go see Fat Man with Mel Gibson at the movie theaters. And then we go to McDonald's for a Mick Rib. Ooh, I'm not a big fan of McRibbs, but we could maybe do a McDonald's and get a McPlant, something like that. And I'm a big fan of going to see Fat Man. Love to see that because that movie's already going to get ripped apart for, We already talked about it, right?

We had reviews that were great and reviews that were bad, and I'm sure that the overwhelming reviews are going to be bad, and yet it's a brand-new Christmas movie, and it's going to be on the favorites for a number of years. And I do kind of like the idea of maybe a chewing the fat contest coming to the studios, all expenses paid, you know, by you. And then as I'm looking at my email here, a new email comes in,

Talking about doing ads on my Facebook page again. They want to do ads. And this one says five grand a week in advance. They want to do two ads a day on my page. For five grand a week, you can. No problem. What's the scam? It can't not be a scam.

It's got to be, I got to figure out a, what the scam is and I'm just I kind of know what it is but uh and I think I know a way around it to see if I could maybe scam them back but they've probably I'm not the first one to try it so we'll see but if it's for real heck yeah I'll take your five grand a week in advance for two ads on my page no problem no problem no bubble middle
