she is the college female who goes to Vanderbilt University, who is part of the SEC, the Southeastern Conference, which is a Power 5 college football team. And, And she was the first female ever to kick in a Power 5 college football game. Now, there have been other females that have kicked in college, but not in the Power 5 programs. Now, her team lost to the University of Missouri, a team that I'm very familiar with. That's a team my oldest son played for. And I became a fan because of that. They defeated Vanderbilt 41 to nothing.

So Sarah did not have an opportunity to kick an extra point or attempt a field goal. She did get the opportunity to kick off once, and that was the beginning of the second half of the football game. Now, we talked about this on Pat Unleashed as I'm sitting in with Pat for the future untold amount of days

and the kick itself was not that good of a kick and I had actually tweeted at Jeffie JFR I know that the kick was more about the kick than the kick but the kick wasn't really that good of a kick but they

told us after that it was a planned squib kick. Her kick went that way on purpose. Oh, okay. All right. All right. Now, it went so well for the team that the head coach has been fired,

not because of Sarah Fuller, but because the team has not done well. And he came, he's been there for a while now. I think seven years. And he came with high hopes for Vanderbilt's program, and it really hasn't panned out for them. So after this game, a butt kicking from Missouri, he got fired.

However, I started out with congratulating Sarah Fuller, and I want to end on congratulating Sarah Fuller because not only did she make history with this historic kick, the SEC, has felt it necessary to make her this week's special teams player of the week. Now they split it with a Florida punt returner, but she does get an SEC Player of the Week award. Congratulations, Sarah.

Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Congratulations abounding today because we have a word of the year from Miriam Webster. I know, based upon statistical analysis of words that are looked up in extremely high numbers in our online dictionary, also showing a significant year-over-year increase in traffic, there is a new word of the year. I will tell you the number two word is defund. And I'll tell you what the number one word is defund. word is as soon as I get done telling you that the real number one word should have been pain should have been pain yeah you heard me some of us pain is a daily thing 66% an overwhelming amount of

people expect to live the rest of their life in some kind of pain over 50 million Americans are going to miss work due to pain that's where relief factor comes in. That's where you need to go to relieffactor.com. That should have been the word of the year. Relieffactor.com. Wait, is that a full word? Yeah, don't, don't bog me down with facts. That should have been the word of the year. Relieffactor.com. Now, you know that our brains are not designed to remember pain accurately, right? I mean, you know that it's a defense system, right? A biological defense system that allows us to live our lives better so that we don't remember the time that, you know, we fell out of the treehouse and banged our head on the side of the car and, you know,

we had a bump on our head the size of our head, got knocked out and had a concussion. We just know that there was pain involved in it. But if you're like me and you wake up in pain every day, you know the best thing about pain is when it goes away. And, you know, I know it doesn't go away for some of us, but at least with relief factor, we can help it go away. And if you're suffering from chronic pain, that's all you want is some relief. And you can get that with Relief Factor.

It's only 1995 for a three-week quick start. Right? I know. 1995 for a three-week quick start, ReliefFactor.com. 70% of the people who take it go on to order more. And you don't want to run out and think that, oh, I'm fine now. No, because you're not fine. You're going to need Relief Factor to help get you through the day.

and it is designed by doctors. It's not a drug, and its Relief Factor will help you get your life back. It's based on 15 years of clinical practice. It's got four key ingredients that each help your body fight against inflammation. It supports a healthy response to inflammation and decreases comfort. I mean, it's all you want, right? A little bit of relief.

And you're going to get it from Relieffactor.com. Now, you can go to Relieffactor.com or you can call 8.000. 800, 500, 883,84. 800, 500, 8384. Or make it painless. And go to relieffactor.com. All right. The word of the year.

I told you number two was defund. So number 11 was malarkey. I wonder where that came from. Number 10, icon. Oh yeah. We had icon, of course. Number nine, irregardless, which wasn't a word to begin with, is just regardless. But that's the way it goes.

It doesn't matter, okay? You've been saying it wrong for all these years. We're going to put it in the dictionary. Okay. Number eight, asymptomatic. Miriam Webster's words of the year, but we do have a number one word of the year. Number seven was Schaffin de Freight? I guess it's pronounced

Schadenfreude. Schadenfreude. Yeah, that's what I said. Number six. Antebellum. Oh, come on. Really? From Lady Antebolam?

Okay. Number five. Quarantine. How do you thought? I thought that'd be a little bit higher. Number four. Crackin. Okay.

I didn't realize this either that the NHL franchise in Seattle named their team name Cracken. So, man, big part of the year. Yeah. Number three, Mamba. Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course.

I mean, that was because, of the death of Kobe Bryant. Number two, I told you was defund. And coming in at number one. The number one searched word that wasn't the word of the year. Coronavirus. You could have guessed that, right?

Yeah, of course. But the word of the year. Yes, the word of the year, standing high atop the top 12 names. Can you guess what it is? Yeah, you probably guessed it. Pandemic. Pandemic is the Miriam Wibster's word of the year.

Yay! Yay! Okay. All right. And for those of you wondering, a pandemic is an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area, such as multiple countries or continents,

and typically affects a significant proportion of the population. Ha! pandemic. Are we actually living in something like that? Get out of here. Okay. All right. I want to thank you, all of you, and you know who you are, who sent me this story, either on Twitter or Facebook or email, either, you know, Jeffrey JFR on Twitter, Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook, Instagram, and Parlor, and Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com is the, you know, jeffy-freyfr on Twitter, is the, you know, email. Bodybuilder from Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan?

Kazakhstan? He tied the knot. He got married. And it's a beautiful thing. It's proving according to the story that love is blind. I don't know that it's blind. But you see the pictures of Yuri, T-O-L-O-C-H-K-O. Tel-O-Talachko.

Toulashko. Yuri Talachco, he is just in love and just wanted a traditional ceremony and he shared a romantic first date or first dance after the wedding just like all couples do as dozens of guests attended. He's an actor and a bodybuilder and he just, well, they fell in love and they got engaged back in December of 2019. and he's just a it just been in love and with the lockdown and the pandemic they couldn't they couldn't get together

and be married sooner so they finally just said the heck with it we're going to get married now what makes this what makes this couple different irregular unconventional

is that the the the one wife of Yuri is a doll. It's a sex doll. And it just seems a little strange. What? Now listen, I'm not opposed to sex dolls, but when you're breaking out the marriage to a sex doll, who am I to say that this guy is whacked out of his brain and he's, you know, it's a It's weird. Who am I? Right? I mean, he met the sex doll at a nightclub, and he rescued the sex doll from some unwanted attention. So he obviously has a connection with the sex doll. Now, they would have also gotten married. It wasn't just the pandemic that made them delay the wedding.

Uri was attacked back in October while he was participating in a transgender rally I know I know but he got a concussion and a broken nose and you know apparently dressing as a woman for the transgender rally you know got him in trouble now you'd think as an actor and a bodybuilder that he would be stronger than that but apparently when you're in a dress, you can't be that strong. I don't know.

But he said that he just, you know, he's, he's into all kinds of things. And he just enjoys, you know, being put in a lot of pain. And apparently Margo, the wife, the sex doubt, is capable of what other people are not capable of. Well, yeah, Yuri. That makes sense that a sex doll isn't capable of what people are. But according to requirements for weddings in Kazakhstan,

you need consenting partners. They have to be male and female over 18 years of age. There's no mention about whether it could be a doll or not a doll. So he's good. He's all good and they're happily and just, gosh darn it. They're just happy. And I just loved slipping that little finger, that little ring on my bride's finger. And I planted a gentle kiss on Margo.

And she just looked so beautiful in that white gown. The bouquet of flowers. That distant stare is just a beautiful thing. Okay, Yuri. I mean, are people afraid to say something? Or are we just like, Yeah, well, that's Yuri. He wants to marry a doll.

So what. Again, I'm not opposed to these dolls. I'm a fan. I'm a fan. It looks close to being a real doll, but I don't know that it's actually a real doll, an actual real doll. It is a real sex doll,

but I'm talking about the real doll. You know, real doll.com, who is the cutting-eathing edge of dolls. Again, I'm a fan. I'm not opposed to it. I just am opposed to becoming married to inanimate. Inanimate?

Inanimate? Inanimate things. I mean, we have people, we've done stories about people marrying chandeliers and marrying stuffed animals and now we have people marrying sex styles it's just a mental issue right you can use these items any way you want but considering them an actual partner in your life there's an issue somewhere along the line there's an issue but again who am i who am i to say that someone doesn't love something enough to marry it. Congratulations, Yuri.

Today is just a congratulations day. A congratulatory day. I mean, we might as well, we can keep it up. We can congratulate Air Hostess 71. It's a British Airways flight attendant who is now accused of selling sexual favors online. So according to sources,

Air Hostess 71 is clearly prostituting herself and boosting her business by using photos taken on board a British Airways plane. She's wearing an airline uniform and there's no doubt she's a stewardess. I thought they were flight attendants. Anyway, it is a shocking dereliction of duty and not the image British Airways want of its cabin crew. It may not be the image you want there, British Airlines, but it is an image that many have. So, okay. So apparently they're investigating it and they've invested.

investigated the pictures and they found out exactly who she is and she's on her blog air host of 71's blog indicates she requires $66 securing a fee to meet up in person and the price is obviously for services vary from from what services you want if you ever want adult entertainment on board you have to give me a sum of money and you'll be treated to a whole different experience of your choice. Okay. Now, that is something that we should start doing on Fisher Air. Now, it's not the first time.

I mean, they've busted stewardesses, flight attendants, before, in the past, because they have been, they've sold themselves as prostitutes,

I'm sorry, sex workers. And one was using her position. in the past to hand out business cards to first class and business class passengers. Hey, thanks for flying. Thanks for flying fish your air. Here's my business card. If you'd like to have a little in-air business, uh, that's going to cost you some money.

One was busted for saying that if you wanted to have an. flight attendant take care of your bidness in the airplane lavatory that is going to cost you at least two thousand bucks and she got it so well i'm guessing that it's a she because the story says the flight attendant was moonlighting as a sex worker and was making more than a million bucks moonlighting as a sex worker but it doesn't say that it was a female so i apologize it could have been a male but we do know that this particular flight attendant got at least $2,000 for sex in the airplane lavatory mid-flight. So I'm guessing it was a female, but I don't know that. So it's possible that it was a male. So it's not the first time that it's happened. So Air Host of 71 is in a good company.

And just trying to make a little money. Times are tough. Airlines are struggling, and that means flight attendants are struggling as well. So we're just trying to, now we're hampering their style of working on the side. I don't know. British Airways, you may want to rethink how you want to be recognized because I was looking at some of the pictures of Air Hostess 71. And according to Air Hostess 71, I am your in-flight entertainment.

What would you like me to do? Thank you for flying. Fisher Air. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Ice cold to drink. For the new listeners, I got an email asking what cold drink I'm drinking. For the new listeners, I'll let you know.

It's Coca-Cola Zero. I'm a huge fan of Coca-Cola Zero. But I stopped saying it every day because I'm waiting for Coca-Cola to become a sponsor of this. show. So A, thank you for being a new listener to the podcast since I've given up saying that it was Coca-Cola. B, Coca-Cola, where you at? I'm here for you. I'm willing to give you, oh man, I'm willing to give you some great love every day and yet, no. You haven't shown up. So until you show up, you know, no love. Okay? It's just the way it is. So I see where

Nicola, the sales on the shares of stock have just gone through the toilet. Through the toilet? Into the toilet? Bad, going way down. Okay. And GM has now announced it's pulling out of a deal that it had with the electric truck company. So apparently, former CEO, Trevor Milton, has just been misleading investors and committing an intricate fraud. according to everyone.

So when we had such a great deal, GM made the deal with Nicola and the electric trucks, and they did it all without actually ever seeing the truck. And it sounded great. And it sounded like he was going to be the new Elon Musk, and it was going to be the new Tesla. And no, no, it was all a big fraud. So, okay, all right.

So if you haven't dumped your stock in Nicola, I would get to it before it's actually worth zero, because it's getting pretty close as we speak.

Okay. Thank you. I mean, we may as well stick to some more business news. We had the, you know, the Nicola shutting down. Well, they're not shutting down, but it's just been a big fraud. Purdue Pharma, the oxycotton maker pled guilty last week to three federal criminal charges for its role in the U.S.'s deadly opioid epidemic. And it has now formally taken responsibility for its part in, you know, the addiction crisis fueled by prescription pain killers.

It admitted to trying to defraud. U.S. officials and paying illegal kickbacks to doctors and vendors to encourage them to prescribe more of its drugs. Many people would say thank you to those doctors and vendors. Many would not, and that's why they pled guilty. Now as a part of a settlement deal with the Department of Justice, Purdue Farmers owners, the Sackler family, is going to pay $225 million in civil penalties and open a public benefit company with its profits going toward helping alleviate the opioid crisis. Okay.

Good for them. And that keeps the Slackler family. Some people are really pissed because the family then still gets a whole bunch of money. But they should. It's still their company. Don't get me started. Don't do it. Don't keep looking at me like that.

Don't get me started. We'll move on. Facebook has now agreed to buy the, customer service platform customer with a K for it's been reported a billion dollars. Now customer K-U-S-T-O-M-E-R condenses customer C-U-S-T-O-M-E-R outreach across text, email, chat box, and social apps into a single screen. So it allows businesses to build a clearer portrait of who's eyeing their goods. okay

kind of cool I kind of like that but we'll see if it gets okayed right it's got to have regulatory approval and Facebook's relationship with the regulators

has not been great the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys have already announced that they plan to sue Facebook over its alleged habit of buying promising startups and squashing competition

I don't think that's just Facebook I mean you've got Facebook Google, Amazon, I'd do it the same thing. Now, if I'm an up-and-coming startup, it's kind of what you want. Isn't it?

I don't know. I don't know. If I have a startup and Facebook, Amazon, Google, come to me and they say, you have a really interesting platform. We'll give you a billion dollars. Okay.

Thank you. A couple more business headlines. Under Armour. trying to get back in the business, right? According to a Piper Sandler survey, Under Armour is the number one. Number one on the list of brands no longer worn by male teens. Wow.

I mean, it's just not cool anymore. So, and their stock has been down, I mean, 23% this year. That's a lot. So, um, they have made a deal with Steph Curry. And, you know, they're doing the, Curry brand with the Under Armour logo. And so we'll see

if stuff can, you know, make Under Armour cool again. Even if he just makes it, you know, co. It gives the little COE back in the word cool would help Under Armour a lot. ExxonMobil is

going to write down the value of its national gas properties by $20 billion. And that's a big time spending haircut for ExxonMobil and their natural gas properties and sales force has announced or is going to announce soon a deal to buy slack today uh so another company that's just buying up uh other companies that uh you know part of the deal that's part of business i i don't know well that's a tough thing to sell when you have these big companies and that's exactly what they're

doing i know they're squashing competition in a appears like they're squashing competition, but I don't know. I mean, Amazon bought that company for prescriptions, the company that they're using for their prescriptions now two or three years ago. And it may seem that they squashed competition, but now they're using it for something better for them, right? Isn't that what we're supposed to do? I mean, you look at, let's say Walmart, right?

The largest private employer, Walmart. And it's been said, They're a huge company, and they've made other companies very, very rich. But they've also ruined a lot of companies, right? When the old man died originally, we've talked about that before they went to China. And so because he was big, you know, made in America, and they found out that we can make a lot more money if we go to China. So once he's gone, we're doing that. And that's what they did.

Then it was reported that what they've done to a lot of businesses is they come, to you and say, and this is how they squash businesses and take over companies, right? So if I create a product and I want Walmart to sell my product because it's going to make me money, right? So, and I, so I want Walmart to sell my product. And they come to me and say, yes, we want your product. You need to make, you know, a hundred thousand pieces of, of, uh, whatever you make and we'll sell it at our stores. So then they buy your product, but they don't pay you for the product. until the last possible moment that the deal is due, like every three months or every two,

whatever deal you made with them, right? So now you've got to come up with all this capital to create your product and get it to Walmart until they pay you. And if you can't do that, then Walmart cancels the deal and they end up either just canceling the deal and you go broke and it's over,

or they say, you know, you can't, what, you're not making any money? Oh, well, we believe in your product. Tell you what, we'll buy it from you. And so then they, you know, buy you out. And now it's their product. It's just a, it's a, it's a, it's a way of doing business. It doesn't make it right.

It doesn't make it good. But it is a way of doing business. And it's evil capitalism is what it is. That's exactly, you know what? That's exactly what it is. Evil capitalism. There, there, I said it. It's not really congratulations, but it is congratulations day.

So we do know that Ajit Pi is, is it Ajit Pi, is formerly leaving the FCC come January 20th. He announced this week that he's going to leave his position as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission on January 20th. That's, you know, agency tradition stepping down from the FCC when a new president is an I would have advised him, hey, wait, let Joe Biden kick you out. But why wait for that when it's going to happen anyway? Right. I mean, they hate him for his repealing of the Obama net neutrality rules. I mean, they just hate.

He couldn't do anything after that for the Democrats, right? And so the Democrats will probably, you know, overturn that ruling. and then, you know, anything else that he put his hands on, they will certainly try. I mean, anything that anybody who worked for Trump did, if Joe Biden, I should say, if Joe Biden takes over on January 20th, it looks more and more like he's going to,

will be, at least they will be attempted to be overturned, except for he did designate the 988 number as the new national suicide prevention lifeline, right? That was huge. That was a big deal. And he had the big T-Mobile sprint, merger, and, you know,

I like the guy. I like the guy. So, and I know, oh, no, what about this, Jeff? I know, I know. But he's been a good chairman overall. And anyway, he's gone. So don't look at me like that. He's leaving, okay?

January 20th, he's leaving. He already said, Now, he may rescind that if we get news that Joe Biden isn't going to be president and Donald Trump will continue to be president. You never know. Now, if you're listening live today on the 1st of December, oh my gosh, today is December 1st, 2020. Wow. December 1st, 2020. Relax, 2020 is almost over.

It's only going to get better. Right? Right. So good. Good. Yeah, it's almost over. Man, oh man. Can't wait until 2020 is over.

You know what I'm saying? I think you do. The CDC is meeting today, or are supposed to meet today, to decide which groups get priority access to the limited initial doses of coronavirus vaccine. Moderna has applied for emergency youth authorize,

not youth. We all need emergency youth authorization, but emergency use authorization from the FDA for its vaccine, which, you know, it will happen. The airlines, American Airlines, and United have been test flights for the COVID-19 vaccine to make sure that they are ready to ship at ice cold. around the country.

We'll want that for sure. And we found out that we have a new paint that kills germs including COVID-19. It kills germs including COVID-19 on all coated surfaces, and they're saying that it's going to be on the market in a couple of months. Kind of cool.

Now, originally, I thought that coronavirus didn't spread on surfaces, but apparently, Then we found out that it does. We don't know how long it does, but it does. So according to this, Pittsburgh-based PPG and Corning have partnered on the development, which they say kills 99.9% of COVID-19 on surfaces.

Now, although the paint will not stop airborne transmission, what? I can't paint the inside of my room and not get a disease. What? Okay. So, and it's, you know, It makes a difference that many anti-microbial antiviral coatings that's in the paint. Okay.

I mean, it'd be kind of cool to have them in schools and hospitals, right? Now, on the other hand, on the other hand, one could make the argument that, you know, germs are kind of a good thing for humans. We're supposed to get some germs in our body so that our body learns to fight other germs. and that's the whole point of kids going outside and playing in the dirt and breathing the air and drinking water from a hose so that your body gets used to some of that so that it says ooh we don't like that germ we're going to kill it instead of living in a bubble but good luck convincing people of that today's world that's for sure and in a show shocking story.

CNN has released a story today. titled The Wuhan Files. What? Are you telling me that in this article that China was less than forthcoming in its reporting of data about the coronavirus? Oh, what? I won't hear of it. That sounds like you're making it up. I don't believe it.

Now, according to this, CNN has reached out to China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Health Commission, as well as, who buys Health Commission, which oversees the provincial CDC for comment on the findings in their story. And guess what? They haven't got a response back. I know, right? So weird. So, okay.

Now they have an incomplete period in this story between October of 2019 and April of this year. Wow. That I won't hear of. So what we talked about, some of the conspiracy theories of people who got sick at the end of 2019, that were diagnosed with the. flu but really any of the flu they didn't test positive for the flu they just had all the symptoms of the flu which now would be COVID-19 but since we didn't know about COVID-19 or coronavirus back then in October of 2019 you just had the flu I was just a weird straight and so you went home to get better or

not but that's you know sure it's that's just that's hogwash it's conspiracy theories sure we don't have the documents or there's nothing, nothing mentioned, and any of that stuff from China, and they've lied about their numbers consistently. I mean, when we were in the heart of our battle, and I know we're still in the heart of it, I know we are, okay? But in the beginning, when we were in the 15 days of slow the curve or flatten the curve, and then we were going into the first major lockdowns,

and people were kind of freaked out, and we didn't have lockdown fever, and we were discussing the numbers and watching them grow every day around the world. And China consistently stayed at 82,000. We made a joke on this show about how China every day would go up three cases, 10 cases. And they stayed at 82,000 forever.

It was a joke on whoever reported to go over 83,000. Well, it's December 1st. 2020. And we talked about it the other day. China says now they have 86,542 cases. No one believes that. There's 72nd in the world in total cases? No. We don't believe it. And now, and because we, because it was all Trump's fault and, you know, the USA, the USA has the most right now with almost 14 million. We're going to crack 14 million. wow, we're going to crack 14 million probably today or tomorrow, and it's going to be all over. USA cracks 14 million total cases.

But now that they believe their hated Donald Trump is kicked out of office, which isn't official yet, by the way. But it's, you know, looking pretty bad for the man, is kicked out of office. We can actually maybe once in a while, do some actual news and figure out that what china was lying to us no get out of here stream and subscribe to more blaze media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts and i wonder if they're going to ever let the people who were part of operation varsity blues i should play the

my sounder for doing an Operation Varsity Blues sounder. But Felicity Huffman. Okay. Felicity, Felicity, Tomato, Tomato. She, uh, I mean, she was, she's an Emmy award-winning actress. She was working and now, and now she's working back again. Okay, she's going to co-star in a comedy pilot, uh, about a, uh, inspired by Susan Savage, the owner of a AAA baseball team, the Sacramento River.

Huffman is set to depict the woman who, after she inherits the minor league team, following her husband's death. Okay. So, and she's helped by her family, including her son, played by actor Zach Gadasagan, and the Sacramonial Community. Oh, good. Okay, so, you know, it'll just, it's a sitcom, it'll be, you know, we'll see if it's funny, it might not be, we'll see.

It kind of reminds me of, uh, what's the Susan Sarandon stupid movie? with my main man. You know, Kevin Costor. Kevin Costor, Susan Sarandon, what's like, a Bull Durham. I know it was, you know, that's not exactly what the premise of Bull Durham was, but it's going to be similar.

Mark my words. And that's where the comedy and hilarity ensues. Okay? But my point is, is that the whole headline, the story is all, all about her serving prison time for the college admission scam as part of Operation Varsity Blues. Man, why do I have not playing the sounder for you?

I can't, I can't do a Veloc. I can't do an Operation Varsity Blues story without that. I'm sorry. It just wouldn't be right to do a story on Operation Varsity Blues. Canon, tonight's episode. Trying to work again. It's just all about her going to prison. I mean, she went to prison for 11 days.

Okay. I know she was sentenced to 14 days, but she served only 11. And she paid her $30,000 fine. She performed a 250 hours of community service. Okay, let it go. But we're not going to. We're not going to. So, and, you know, Loughlin is in prison now.

Mousamo, Hubby is in jail now and they're in there for a while. Don't mark my word. She's only got about 18 days left. 18 days left. And she'll get out. Lori Loughlin will get out. No problem. Hubby will be there for a while longer.

But just let, you know, we all think it. When we see her, we'll all think it for a while. So let it go. All right? Let it go. And just let Lori and Felicity have their life back again when they get done. And Felicity's trying to. get her life back again, right? She did her time and she got it over with. Good for her.

And put Operation Varsity Blues behind her. And Operation Varsity Blues. Man, I love that sounder. Well, we might as well stick on Hollywood. I see where Crudes 2 opened this past weekend, the Thanksgiving weekend, too. Wow, a huge weekend. I don't know. How many of you went to see crudes, too. Now, according to this headline, it had the best opening weekend at the domestic box office since the pandemic first closed theaters. So the best opening weekend at the domestic box office since the pandemic first closed theaters. Crudes, too.

So what does that mean? What does that mean? How good was it? $14 million. I mean. that is nobody they're happy with 14 million right i mean a five-day holiday debut got 14.2 million dollars wow i mean that is nothing nothing overseas it got 20 and it got 19 in china so globally 35 so it's got what 40

49, not even 50 million on opening Thanksgiving Day weekend globally. I mean, I guess it's something. What a crudes to cost? Crudes to cost, had to cost, what, 70 million probably? 65 million. So, I mean, they're not even close to making the money. But anyway, you know, the theaters are open and they're happy. And it also bodes well for the New Deal, right?

So in three weeks, it goes to, I can see it at the house. Not that I'm a big Crudes fan, but I'm loving the idea that it's on pay-per-view. Right? I can watch video on demand, no problem. And if somebody wanted to watch, you know, Crudes 2, you know, that'd be great. It costs $65 million. You got Nicholas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, Catholic Leader, Clark Duke, Chloris Leachman, wow.

Peter Dinklage and Leslie Mann and Kelly Marie Tran are voices in this movie too. Wow. I mean, that's worth it. Wow. And it only cost 65 million. So guys like Nicholas Cage are working for nothing. Just trying to put food on the table. And good for them.

Good for them. But, I mean, Hollywood is, I mean, they're hurting because of this pandemic. No doubt about it. they need to be creating some content. I mean, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, HBO. Oh, speaking of HBO, oh, did you watch the end of the undoing? I was going to do some, I've got another story I want to talk to you about, about how much these actors have made at worldwide box offices,

because I started looking at Tom Cruise last night for some reason. We were talking about Tom Cruise came up, and I checked out. He's worldwide box office, 10,000. billion dollars total for all his movies. And I thought that's pretty good, right? He's ranked, according to all of these, he's ranked 12th, 11th. Okay, so you got Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett, Joe Hansson, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Zoe Seldana, Chris Pratt, Tom Hanks, Bradley Cooper, John, Dedeb, Tom Cruise.

All right, those are all double-digit billions worldwide box office. but really Tom Hanks Bradley Cooper Tom Cruise those three are really the three that are going to draw

on their own and really Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise really the only two right Bradley Cooper maybe I mean you know okay maybe but and Pratt is he going to draw

as much as Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks I don't know without the without the effects? I don't know. Chris Pratt, maybe. But Robert Donnie Jr., Samuel Jackson, Scarlet Johansson,

you know, the Avengers movies just made these people multi-millionaires and good for them. Good for them. But that doesn't count as a draw. All right?

I mean, you're not, it's tough to say, like a Scarlett Johansson on her own, right? That movie, Lucy, I liked. I thought I liked that Lucy. I watched it.

I watched it a couple of times. You know, it's worth it. the watch, but it didn't make a billion dollars. I don't even think it made $500 million. So, you know, is she up there in Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise land? I don't think so. And another one, Mark Ruffalo is 12th behind Tom Cruise at $9 billion.

If it wasn't for the Avengers movies, I mean, good for him and bless his heart and, you know, all that kind of good stuff. But no one is going to see a Mark Ruffalo movie. You barely want to see a Mark Ruffalo movie. You barely want to see him in real life anyway. Because he's such a douche. But $9 billion, $835,000,19,000, $1919.79,000 worldwide box office. That's not because of Mark Ruffalo. Okay.

I'm sorry. It just isn't. Okay. Undoing. I saw the undoing. The last episode aired this week on HBO. It's a six part. miniseries and it is was really good, except I didn't like the ending.

I wish HBO would have called me and let me know how they were thinking about ending it because I've got a couple of different ways they could have ended this so much better. I had I had the ending in my head of how it was going to end and who was guilty. and they ended it, it was just so, eh, so predictable. And it was just, eh, and why would they do that? And it was just, okay, that's the end. We're done now. I just, I feel like I wanted more.

And I'm not even going to give you, I should ruin it for you, and I'm not going to, okay? Just let me know how you feel. Let me know. If you've watched it, you know, email me at chewing the fat of the blaze.com and let me know what you think. because I think, and I won't ruin it yet, I don't know why I'm being nice. I'm mad at myself now for being nice and not ruining it for you.

I had like two or three different endings. That would have been great. I'm going to ruin it. You know, probably the end of this week or the beginning of next week. I'll give you a week. All right, I'm going to give you this week. And then I'm going to ruin it

because I want to talk about the exact ending and what I would have done different. Okay? So if you're going to watch it, get to it. And if you have been watching it and you haven't watched it to the end, get to it. Either way, get to it. Otherwise, I'm ruining it for you. You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack.

But she's never told her side of the story until now. People assume that I'm like, this pervert. My name is Natalie Robamed. And in my new podcast, I talked to Allison to try to understand how she went from TV actor to cult member. How do you feel about having been involved in bringing sexual trauma at other people? I don't even know how to answer that question. Alison After Nexium from CBC's Uncover is available now on Spotify.
