It is chewing the fat. And as we've talked about on this show before, I am a fan of In-N-Out Burger. I make no bones about it.

I was surprised that, you know, everyone that I knew from California, here in Texas. Oh, in and out, burger's the best. In and out burger's the best. And then they came here. And so I was, you know, forced to try it.

Not by gunpoint, but I was forced to try it. And it's pretty darn good. And their burgers are outstanding. Fries are good. Shakes. Okay. Shakes are...

But if you could have an in and out burger with fries from shakes, Jack and then a shake from Chick-fil-A. Now you're talking to lunch. But they just opened up in and out burger in Colorado this past weekend. Diners waited in line for 14 hours in Aurora, Colorado. Uh, how about no?

They waited for 14 hours. And of course, that brings on, you know, people waiting in line getting frustrated and there were some fights and, you know, telling what those fights were about. Maybe somebody bumped a bumper or they're getting angry. I mean, they're waiting in line at an in-and-out burger in Colorado for, you know, after, I don't know, an hour, I'm thinking, you know what? But I'm good. But even the Aurora Police Department had posted on their social media page, it's official.

Traffic is double double animal style right now all around the mall. We're on hand helping manage the massive traffic response. Be patient, be kind, maybe support another local eatery today. And they also, one of their social. media posts were like other places are open hint hint so i mean would you wait in line that long for an in and out burger my answer would be no welcome to chewing the fat but the wait in line for an extended period of time, and I don't know what that line is. That line is definitely, I'm not doing 14 hours. I'm not doing 12 hours. I'm not doing 10 hours. I'm not doing 8 hours. I'm not doing 6 hours.

I'm not doing 4 hours. I'm not doing 3 hours. Now you start getting into, you know, one or two hours it's possible but really no not doing that and it defeats the purpose of in and out doesn't it i mean especially when i could just be home laying in my bowl and branch sheets and pillowcases i know i know i know i know what you're saying really yes everyone that's used them and that has laid on them that has covered themselves with their sheets, knows that Bowlin Branch sheets are the softest, most comfortable, pure, organic cotton sheets on earth. Bowlin Branch, cotton is rain-fed, pesticide-free, carries the highest organic certification, and that's why it's so soft.

But because they work with family-owned mills all over the world to expertly weave every set of Boland branch sheets with the highest level of crashmanship. It's quality.

and it's my choice in what movies I want to watch I know that sounds like a great job and I want to do it okay so you already have to have a device

compatible for streaming okay you'll have to watch 25 holiday movies in 25 days duh you'll have to fill out a short post movie survey. I'll do that and I'll give you a daily audio review on my social media accounts.

If you want a video review, I may be willing to do that too. They have to up that price though, $2,500 in a year worth of streaming services. So, and it doesn't matter, you get to choose the 25 movies. You just have to do one a day and review it. Okay. I am a fan. I want to do that. Now, it's reviews.org's holiday dream job application.

I really do. I think it would be fun. And it'd be, don't even apply because I'm going to get it. Okay? All right, we're good. I don't even know why I'm talking about it.

Maybe I should just delete it from the show. So we talked a little bit about this today on Pat show. And I've been working with Pat all week on Pat Grey Unleashed, and you can go and listen to the podcast or listen live every day on Blaze Radio and Blaze. television 7 to 9 Eastern AM. But SoulCycle is, you know, the exercise classes, the popular spin studio chain, has a little bit of a problem with some of their instructors.

Now, three instructors in particular are in trouble. They are master instructors. I mean, right there being called master instructors. You're already showing your racism, right? Now, these three instructors were the big money makers, so according to this, they were allowed to get away with things that others wouldn't, right? One black lady recalled an encounter with one of the master instructors. She was just a regular instructor, I guess. After taking his class, she changed and put a bandana on her head, which the one instructor,

Connor Kelly said, whoa, Antimima. Wow, even in 2014 when it happened. Come on now. That is way wrong. And she said that she felt it was disgusting. Yeah, no question it was. This was in the lobby in Palo Alto. But she said she didn't feel, she told some of the colleagues, but she believed there

wasn't anyone that would have cared, so she didn't complain about it. I mean, okay, but you kind of lose the point. I mean, you don't lose the point. The point is still horrific, right, and mean. But you lose the grip of the situation by waiting so long, at least for me. Now, one of the ladies, one of the ladies said that she was, that they were fat shaming. All right. She was busy fat-shaming the workers at the Tribeca location.

All right. She, Lori Cole, would come in and take pictures of some of the employees working at the front desk who were, according to this story, curvy. That would mean that they were overweight. And she would say,

this is not on brand for my check-in. I don't want this at the front desk during my classes. I mean, I tend to kind of agree with that, but okay. And she got in trouble for a homophobic statement that she made. And she, you know, got in trouble for moving one of the clients to the back and bringing someone else up front who she felt looked better. And the client was pregnant. I mean, that's kind of a problem. And so, I mean, that is a problem with these three employees, but they were such big earners that the complaint is that SoulCycle was just.

just like, yeah, we'll investigate it and we take it serious, but nothing ever happened. Okay. I mean, of course, SoulCycle will say, we are committed to continuing to make improvements and ensuring that we live up to the values that our teams and riders expect of us. Will you? Will you? Because it doesn't seem like it.

They were more happy with spending money on apartments and rented Mercedes-Benz for their master instructors so that she would just keep the money coming in on their classes. And, you know, these companies in today's world, man, you just can't do that. If you are unable to be a master instructor and bring in the money and do a good job and not be a racist, homophobic bastard, then you're not worth it. Have a nice day, right? I mean, the one instructor, they say, is accused of pressuring one of their riders into performing oral sex. I have got to figure out how to pressure someone to do that.

I mean, you can make all the jokes you want, which, you know, of course I will. But I have got to figure out how you pressure someone into that. The answer is no or yes or later, not now. Another time, maybe. It's just not pressured into, well, okay. Right? Come on now. I'm finding it difficult to believe someone could get pressured into oral sex.

Can you be assaulted and made to do it? Maybe. But I tell you what, I would be reminded that I would be reminding that person that I have teeth. And those work as well. But that's just me. That's just me. So just remember,

SoulCycle is there for you with their master instructors. And they are committed to continuing to make improvements and ensuring that they live up to the values that their teams and riders expect of us. So you got that going for you. So I think I just fell in love with Sia. She has been addressing the backlash that she's received after casting former dance mom's star Maddie Ziegler as a character with autism in her new movie music, even though the 18-year-old is not autistic in real life.

How dare she? How dare she? Now, last week, remember, we did the story about the story about the, the movie where people were talking about limb differences. And they were, it was embarrassing and they shouldn't be doing the parts with, What's Her Face's movie? Anne Hathaway, in witches. And, and bent the knee to the crowd and said, sorry.

Of course, I'm so sorry. I wouldn't have done this had I known. Well, Sia is not bending the. knee and I love her for it okay she said it's a mighty shame that someone was such a colossal or this is this is her getting getting the backlash it's a mighty shame that someone was such a colossal platform is using it to exclude disabled and neurodiverse actors from their own narratives i've been a long-time fan of your work so this is really disappointing well see ya the a 44-year-old singer,

uh, decided that, uh, she was not going to take it. This is what I love about her. Don't bend the knee. You never bend the knee to the rage mob. You never bend the knee to the rage mob.

So she said, um, you know, it's an effing sad. Nobody's even seen the movie and that my heart has always been in the right place. I cast 13 neuroa-typical people. three trans folks and not as a effing prostitutes or drug addicts but as doctors, nurses, and singers. She continued to respond.

Several autistic actors, myself included, responded to these tweets. Oh, no. We all said we could have acted on short notice. Oh, really? So you were ready. Who is this person? that complained about see if the same person that said was complaining to her and now they're saying we could have acted on short notice it could have been just us just quick like a rabbit we could have been there for you um she said these excuses are just that excuses the fact of the matter is zero effort was made to include anyone who is actually autistic hashtag nothing about us without us her response see ya bless your heart Maybe you're just a bad actor.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. That is awesome. See ya. See ya. See ya. Thank you. So good news and bad news all kind of rolled up in one. And, uh, you know, it's something that, well, the Gasparilla parade in Tampa.

I love it. Been a part of it for years. I mean, I certainly haven't been there in the past. you know, 10 years, very disappointing. We used to broadcast the parade. Glenn and Stu and myself would broadcast it every year, and then Jack Harris and myself broadcast it. And it's just fun.

It's just a fun event. It started as a joke, and it became a yearly tradition that we broadcast the parade. I would love to do it again. It wouldn't be a bad thing for chewing the fat to broadcast the Gasparilla parade. It would be, I don't know, kind of awesome. I might actually try to make that.

happen but it's not going to happen in January of 2021. I know, dry your eyes, but they're not canceling it. They're just postponing it. They're going to postpone it until the 17th of April. Okay. So we then they've got the children's parade, which happens before the Pirate Fest and that's going to happen, you know, April 10th. And then there's no word on when they do the night parade. And that usually, you know, that happens at a, you know, the Santiago night. parade. Okay. Well, there's no, in Ebor City. I've been a part of that one, too. That's a lot

of fun. Anyway, they don't know when they're going to be doing that one. Now, you know, of course, this isn't the first time that the event has been postponed or canceled. Parades were not held during war times

when the city had limited public celebrations. So, I mean, it's not breaking new ground by either canceling or postponing it. But of course, the Gasparilla Captain Peter Lackman of Yomistic Crew said safety is our most important responsibility. Thank you, Peter. We really appreciate it.

And we know that. We know that, okay. We get that. And in the public interest of restricting events that bring large numbers of people to our community, we've made the difficult decision to postpone. And we look forward to celebrating with our maids safely and responsible. responsibly this April. Man, do I hope that happens?

I want that to happen. That will mean that things are returning back to some kind of normal. Good luck. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh my gosh. That is so, so good. I may have told you that before.

So yesterday, we talked about Jeopardy. And how, you know, there was an online petition for LeVar Burton and who might be the ideal host to take the place of Alex Trebek. Obviously, you can't replace Alex. But guess what? You can't. And I wasn't quite sure who they would pick because, like we said, you know, you don't want to be the guy that replaces the legend. You want to be the guy that replaces the replacer of the legend. And so that's not the actual quote.

But you get my point. So then they announced late yesterday that they've got a new interim host when production resumes. So production is going to resume next week for the show. They've got to, you know, record and get everything ready to go for after the new year because they're, they go up until Christmas with Alex. They're going to let Ken Jennings be the interim. host. Now, according to their announcement, okay, additional guest hosts will be announced. Now, okay, so Ken has been their kind of face and their promotional guy that's been going

around and he's there, you know, the most, the winningest guy or whatever. And he's, I guess, okay. But I don't know, you know, the revolving idea of additional guest host. I mean, that works maybe for a little while. I really like the idea of just Ken Jennings. Let him be the interim host of Jeopardy for, you know, a season. And then in that season, we find and make the new host to take over. So the person that's going to be the actual host of the show isn't really taking the place of the legend. right he's taking the place of ken jennings the guy who will be just you know okay so it's kind of a good move

i don't know about the rotating hosts uh because then that throws you into a loop of you know kind of like tryouts and who's going to be best at it i think uh i think the tryouts should be made privately but they didn't consult me now they can call and let me know what's happening but I doubt that they're going to call, you know, again, since I missed the first time they called me.

You've got at Jeffrey JFR on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Parlor, Jeff Fisher Radio. And let's just wrap this whole thing up into a nice little bow. It is almost Christmas, you know. I know. It's Thanksgiving first. Don't forget about the first. Thanksgiving. Oh, I haven't. I haven't forgotten about Thanksgiving. And there's plenty of new rules and

regulations that we're supposed to follow too. But and Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York told us about celebrating Thanksgiving. In a 38-second address, spread thanks, not COVID. Where a mask get tested, stop the spread. It's your family. It's your home. It's your table. And this is his 38-second address that I think you're going to find. It's really heartwarming. Isn't that special?

Doesn't that just warm the cockles of your heart? It sure does mine. It makes me like Governor Andrew Cuomo that much better. I think you know what I'm saying. This coming from a guy who said he was going to have. have Thanksgiving with his mother and two of his three daughters and then decided, boy, people got mad at me for saying that. And, uh, you know what?

No, I'm canceling it all. Uh, nobody coming around for Thanksgiving. We're done. Oh. Okay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no problem. Um, I guess that's just the way it is, huh? Yep, I'm canceling it all.

And coming from the guy who won the Emmy. An Emmy. An Emmy for his job holding daily COVID-19 briefings. Wow. In his virtual acceptance speech, and man, do I want to play that for you. Because he is just that good. He acted as if he'd just been given, you know,

the Nobel Peace Prize as opposed to a token Hollywood Feel Good award. But, you know, he thanked the New Yorkers. He said, I love you, I care about you, I need you. Oh, God, this guy is just agonizing. And, of course, the president of CEO of the Emmy's Bruce L. Paisner said the governor's 111 daily briefings worked so well because he effectively created television shows with characters, plotlines, and stories of success and failure. People around the world tuned in to find out what was going on, and New York Tough became a symbol of determination to fight back.

The Award and International Emmy Founders Award, given to a person who crosses cultural boundaries to touch our common humanity. Ugh. Just agonizing. But, I mean, congratulations. Congratulations on an award well deserved. No, not really, but congratulations anyway. This guy, man.

What? I can't believe that he accepted it, but then I can't believe that he accepted it. I mean, wasn't he just presumably doing the work? of the people. Let's not get into what he did, what actually happened. You know, let's just, we'll stick to the specific press conferences. Wasn't he just doing the work of the governor, that of which he was hired and elected to do? Wasn't he doing just that?

So awards should really be taken for that, right? Am I wrong? Yep, I guess I am. I guess I am. Hey, good news though. It's been 50 years, 50 years since the King of Rock and Rolls returned to concert stages

and was documented on the big screen. Elvis is back, baby. That's right. In 1970, Elvis did a movie called That's the Way It Is and give fans an inside view of the of the of the king

Speaking to Bumbles, did you see Emily Aetak, the 30-year-old actor, comedian, explain just how a three-way romance with a married couple happened. So, of course, that's the number. news. Emily Atack admits to a threesome with a married couple. But remember, of course, to watch the show, the in-betweeners, and anything else that she does. And of course, her new show that she's put together. And be sure to follow her on all her social media accounts, because she's got the whole thing put together just for you. But, oh, by the way, did I tell you about the threesome that I was in? Yeah, I know. I know. It just, it all started. We were just chatting in a pub.

And he told me he was married and his wife wanted to meet me. And all right, then after a bit of flirting and texting, fine. Let's just go ahead and get it over with. And then it was a problem because, of course, they both started falling in love with her. I know right. How many times? How many times have I heard this story where the couple just wants to have an affair with a single person, whether it it be female or male, and then the couple both male and female, or two males, two females, fall in love with the person they're having an affair with. Oh man, do I? It gets, it just, I mean, it happens over and over and over again. So I sat him down. And I said, guys, you've got some issues.

And you need to work it out. And, you know, doing me isn't the answer. You know, I think you need to talk to each other. And she went on to say that, you think breaking up with one person is awkward. Try breaking up with two. So, you know, there's that. Oh, and by the way, don't forget about my show,

the in-betweeners. And don't forget about my new comedy show that's out there. And don't forget to follow me on, you know, Instagram. And I'll be, you know, I'll be ready to go for you, okay? I love these stories, man. True or not, that's what gets the press. And then we're just promoting the heck out of everything else. Incredible.

Just incredible. All right. I feel pretty good because I got through. today without doing any Trump or Biden throw-ins? Oh my gosh, I just did. I mean, look, my favorite was he blinked when he gave the okay for the transition to start. Donald Trump I'm talking about to the Biden campaign. Unless something huge happens, it's over.

I mean, they can still continue with the lawsuits and everything else, but we will have President Joe Biden on January 20th. So according to a new study, only by, O-N-L-Y-B-U-Y, found that the biggest earners tend to have the smallest manpart. And to determine whether man-part proportions correspond to a paycheck, the e-commerce site recruited 997 men to answer questions about work, salary, and the dimensions of their. Now, this is a, it's got to be a United Kingdom study because they use willies, but they don't.

It's a story using American. The Sun reported, yeah, okay, so it's got to be a study. Only buy has got to be the UK. So they don't use euros when they use the dollars. Maybe it's just transform. They usually throw in the euros when they're talking about the UK study. So the study found that men, 7 and 8 inches, earned an average of 35,700 to 50,300 per year.

Meanwhile, men 3 inches, which is the threshold for a micro, made an annual income of about 7,000. $6,780 on average, and that men 4 inch were far more likely to get promoted according to the survey. However,

according to this, the 8 inch was optimal for making a woman Climax. Coincidentally, only by found that those working in the arts had the highest number of the eight inches. Bankers boasted the most micros. Coming in second overall to Manpart size, manual labor.

who sported the highest proportion of six and seven inch. And medical professionals rounded out the middle with the greatest percentage of average size. So there's that. I don't know if that makes you feel good or not, but that's the study. And so there you have. Now you know where you stand or hang as the case may be.

A little football update. College football, for those of you college football fans, you know what a struggle it's been for teams to play and with the COVID protocols, games get canceled and gets postponed. And, you know, many teams had games scheduled with one team and then they get scheduled with another team, especially if you're playing interleague play. Well, we also are going to have a game on a Tuesday morning.

This is what 2020 has brought to us a Tuesday morning college football game, December 1st. So next week, we're going to have Tuesday, 1030 a.m. The Charlotte 49ers taking on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, a Tuesday morning college football game. That's kind of sweet. It's kind of sweet. We'll see if it actually happens, though. And more things to look forward to. I happen to be watching a little bit of an NFL game last night,

and Monday night, for those of you listening live, this is Tuesday, the 24th of November. And I was watching a little bit of the Monday night game. And I saw the head coach of Tampa Bay wearing just his shield. You know, some of those coaches just have the plastic shield in front of their face. Well, no. And I thought, well, didn't I just read that they have new protocols in the NFL? That doesn't start until this coming week,

but they have new COVID protocols in the NFL. And players who are not substituting or preparing to enter the field of play and are not wearing their helmets will be required to wear a mask or double-layered gator while on the sideline. Coaches who call plays will no longer have the option to wear only a face shield. Instead, they must wear a face mask. or double-layered gator in addition to the face shield. They're going to have to,

the teams are going to have to come up with their own way to check on it and enforce the rules. They've got new ways. So many people can access the facilities. They can only have 62 people traveling with them. I can't wait until each player has to take their own plane to the game, their private playing to the game. Now, players and staff will be allowed to interact briefly after the games,

but then must promptly return to the locker room. So there's no messing around. You say, thank you, good game, and get off the field. Confirm tests among NFL players and staff have increased. A total of 108 tests have returned positive in the past two testing periods compared to 146 in the pre-year. previous 11. So the numbers are going up. You know, look, the numbers are going up all over, right? We need to shelter down again, according to all that is holy. But we're not ready to. We don't want to.

People don't want to. You know why? Because they're being told to. Please tell us, look, this is America. You make the choice. We're asking you. Just like they did. here in Dallas, Fort Worth, Fort Worth, you know, urgent, please, please stay home. And people in Fort Worth are like, yeah, you know what? No.

But, I mean, many people are. Many people do because you get the choice you're not being forced to. Please stop mandating things. And the good thing is, things are going to stop getting mandating. now that we have, you know, a new administration coming into office in Washington, D.C., who believes in not mandating things and not making new laws and rules and regulations

who believe in people making their own choices and living their own American dream. I said that and I tried to do it and be serious. When nothing could be farther from the truth. Oh, man. Oh, man. I kill me.
