You're listening to Chewing the Fat on Demand. You sure you want to be home before seven? I mean, what do you got to go home to? She's at the... Oh, no, my mind. I mean, she's hunting with her family. Yes, Jeffie. I want to be home before seven.

I don't know why. Wife's not even home. I have to take care of the house and make sure it's clean and the dishes are done. Did she not leave yesterday? Yes. And the house isn't clean? Well, you know, 24, not even, 12 hours of me by myself. Dirty is up a lot.

Because if the house isn't clean when she leaves, we need to rethink that whole. I need to have some words with her. Perhaps maybe take you through a few lessons of being a man. I'm saying. You ready? Welcome to it. This is Chewing the Fat with yours, Julie. Jeff Fisher.

Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today. You know, last week we talked about the lady that had to fit over the airline people who were apparently making fun of her child's name ABCDE. And we, you know, we had quite lengthy conversations about people and what they were naming their children. Now, earlier today I read an article that talks about, and I, for one, I'm all for ABCDE. I got no problem with that. I really don't. And I know, really, I mean, I, I, I named my kid Elvis before, my oldest son, Elvis, before he was even born. I mean, I was calling him Elvis when he was in the womb.

Yes, I believe it was not a piece of broccoli. And my youngest son. Yes, Maximilius, which I bet you call him Maximilius when he was also, you know, in the womb, right? Max a mess. No, I didn't. We had his, his, uh. So he was a broccoli. Correct. Yeah, he was a broccoli.

And, no, I started watching Gladiator, the movie. And I fell in love with that movie. I just love that movie. And Russell Crowe, as Gladiator, as Maximus in the movie. And I also love the character Proximo. And so we had a name picked out for Maximus. And my wife said, what about, and she asked. added Maximus to the already name that we had picked out.

And I was like, yes. She was like, nah, I was just kidding. Too late. So, I mean, it's Maximus and then his full name. So he's got like, I don't know, 80 middle names. They all try to print it out when they fill stuff out. It's like, no, those are all, those are all his name. That's his middle name.

He's got these names here. So I'm okay with it. Right. I mean, and my daughter's middle name is a name that my wife came up with from the letters of all the people in both families that I was not allowing her to name. No, we're not naming her that. No, we're not naming her that. No, no, no. So she came up with the idea to use the initials from all these people that gave her a name. Sakari. Okay. I'm good with that. Now today, we get the parenting website Baby Center. I mean, I get alerts from them every day, the parenting website Baby Center. Recently, I released a report on baby named trends in the U.S.

And, you know, there's hundreds of thousands of names the parents provide to the website each year. There's like four million babies born every year in the U.S. It seems like a lot, but then we keep hearing that baby output is. down. So let's pump it up a little bit. Their list, the baby centers list, for the most popular baby names, is what they have found. Their findings suggest that parents increasingly inspired by the wellness movement, names related to spiritual practices like yoga and meditation, peace, harmony, hope, have risen in popularity.

This is the one that gets me. I can honestly say I would never name my child. Cale. I don't even want it in my house, let alone the name of a kid. All right, it's not going to happen. You want to name your kid baby kale? Fine with me. You go ahead.

Now, as the fast food and processed snacks appear to be losing some ground to the clean eating, You know, everybody's on the paleo diet. So now we've got baby names that are Kiwi, maple, kale, hazel. Hazel's like a name from the 1800s, right? I mean, I had a, I think, a great, great grandma named Hazel.

Clementine, another one from age. Sage, saffron, rosemary, Stop it. And names like saffron, sage, and hazel are also on the rise for boys. Okay. Okay. I don't know. Never mind.

Just ignore me. That's easy for me to do. Kids, grocery inspired names for, have been around since, you know, 1880s. Get this. Now, we're thinking it's a new thing, but it really isn't. What comes around, you know, comes back around, obviously. looks like kale. People have been naming their kid kale

since 1962. No, they haven't. Cale was just invented like 10 years ago. That is BS. That's what the story says. So it says here that we're surprising the highest concentration of little cales can be found in California.

Now it has been gaining in popular. popularity, obviously, since 2005. But, you know, they're the first kale that they found was 1962. He was the only one, or she. Cale's a good, kale can go both ways. You can go out of that. But how about these names? Watercress.

I mean, raddish. Oh, my little radish. Come here. Oh, that cute little radish. You are. So now modern parents are trying to, you know, they all want, everybody wants to outdo each other. You know, rollo, Emilio, Rafferty, Gray with an E,

Orilio, Bartoloma, Plum. She's, my little, by the plumb. So then you have, man, it all stems from looking. you have people like Gwyneth Paltrow, right? She named her kid Apple. I mean, but I'm okay. I don't care what you name your kid, but it should work with your last name. Now, I don't know if Gwyneth has a different name than Paltrow in real life.

That works good with Apple, but Apple Paltrow doesn't quite roll off the tongue. Gwen Stefani, her name, Zuma Nesta Rock. Okay, Zuma Nesta Rock. come here who's a good little zoom ah you are pretty soon we're gonna uh you know it's gonna be fish oil a little fish oil come here then we have uh i was thinking about maybe uh you know i'll write the i'll write the jokes for you what's your next kid whale fat uh god it's funny but what's his face? Frank Zappa

he was way out of the curve he named his kids a moon unit and what was the other one what was the other kid's name and he named one diva I think and then he had said it in an interview I don't know ages ago that I would have named him Motorhead

I mean so it's not it's not crazy for people to be naming their kids something out of the ordinary But please, please, just stop with the kale. I mean, maybe green bean, right? Maybe kids are dirty, right? Kids are a little nasty little dirty kids and maybe you call it Romaine.

Just, I like radish, though. I think I like radish. I think I'm going with radish. Next kid. Radish Fisher. I like it. So you know that Pita and I are friends. We, I, oh man, Peter and I are, we get along so good.

And I love them so much. And they have a little issue with words now that they want phrases to be changed. and some of the phrases that they want to be changed are are you know the old phrases kill two birds with one stone be a guinea pig beat a dead horse bring home the bacon

take the bull by the horns right that's good stuff those are those are phrases that are just I don't know they've been around forever and people use them all the time and it's not about actual bird killing or and if the horse is already dead who cares if you beat him but no I got it I don't but they want you to say instead of two instead of kill two birds with one stone feed two birds with one scone stop it doesn't even make any sense you're killing two birds with one stone

is you're doing, you're accomplishing two things with one task. That's the point. Are you accomplishing two things with one task if you feed two birds with one scone? Yeah, okay, I guess you are. You're feeding two boards with one scone. Be the guinea pig. Be the test tube. Be the dead horse.

Feed a fed horse. If the horse is already fed, you're not going to feed them. Bring home the bacon. Bring home the bagels. Take the bull by the horns. Take the flour by the thorns. No. No, but I mean, you can change it if you want.

And people will look at you like, what? But there's plenty that they left out. I mean, hogwash, stubborn as a mule, quiet as a mouse, snake bit. dirty little rat. We got a lot of phrases we got to get rid of. Man, we've got a long way to go to make PETA happy. And that's what I live for, making PETA happy.

One way that we can make PETA happy is know that if you eat eggs, you can't be a feminist. You can't be a true feminist. Did you know that? You're not a true feminist if you eat eggs. Elaborate, please. being a feminist and eating eggs is no longer compatible. People for the ethical treatment of animals,

our friends who were discussing at this time, PETA, says female reproductive rights and fertility should be respected no matter what the species. That's why the feminists need to stop eating eggs. The hand has been turned into an egg machine. I mean, she's right. The writer of this article is absolutely right. damn chickens have been turned into an egg-making machine.

And on behalf of humans that eat eggs, thank you. I would talk to Cam Edwards and he hasn't gotten eggs in a week. They're protesting. Cam, we now know that Cam has chickens that are protesting. They don't want to be just treated like an egg machine. They need to stand, they're standing up for the systematic abuse of, females of all species. I mean, that's good.

Listen, this blog writer, Michelle Kreitzer, she's right. Egg farming of chickens is just like subjectation of women. Just like it. That's clear. It's 100% clear. It's agonizing. Farms, then what the sad point is is that farms don't really see chickens as individuals. they see them as egg machines

manipulated, pushed beyond their biological limits just for money. I don't know, makes me hungry for eggs. All right, let's do a little entertainment. Now,

I know those of you, a lot of you are sad because Netflix is canceling the Marvel shows. I know they have, I think they have Jessica Jones in production, but Daredevil is done, which, you know, I haven't made it through the entire third season yet.

but it's, you know, another great thing. Jessica Jones, I think, is in production. So you get rid of those. And, you know, how people are concerned, they think that they figured they canceled them because of Disney. And it's kind of a yes and no because, you know, Netflix pays money.

They produce the shows. But they don't own the IP. So those, that belongs to, you know, Marvel Studios. So when Disney starts airing other Marvel shows tied to the films, the Marvel series on Netflix is going to be advertising for those shows, which is, you know, direct competition

to Netflix, so why have that? You don't want to promote another streaming service on your streaming service. I guess, okay, you know, it kind of makes a little bit of sense. I know Hulu CEO, he was just quoted as saying,

most linear cable TV networks are going to be gone in a decade. Traditional pay TV universe, of 300 plus channels is going to shrink dramatically over the next 10 years. Maybe a dozen cable network still standing in the next 10 years. Tremendous. Good. I mean, I'm okay with that as long as I have choices. I'm all for that.

No problem. And of course, the Golden Globes were nominated today. The nominations were announced. The 76th annual Golden Globes Awards. the Golden Globe nominees for Motion Picture, Best Motion Picture Drama, Black Panther, Black Klansman, Bohemian Rhapsody, if Beal Street could talk, that was great. I mean, I've seen that movie. I've seen that movie once.

I've seen that movie once. A star is born. So who wins that? Black Panther, probably Black Panther. It's going to be between Black Panther. and Bohemian Rhapsody, right? So this year it's going to be between, and a star is born in there too.

You get the two musics where the star is born, Bohemian Rhapsody, and then Black Panther. I don't think you go without giving it to Black Panther. The world would come to an end. But I think the world would be okay if you gave it to Bohemian Rhapsody. But they might end up, you know, this is where it's going to get confusing

because you'll end up, you'll give best picture to Black Panther but they won't win anything else. So the actors will all be from Bohemian and a Star is Born, right? And how you get around the actor, when you get down to the actor and the director, what's his face, acted and directed, a Star is Born, right? So they give Rami best actor for playing Freddie Mercury, and they give What's His Face Best Director for Star is Born,

Why can't I think of a stupid name? Gosh darn it. He's nominated down here for Best Director. Bradley Cooper. They give him Best Director. All three are covered then, right? You got them all three of them. You got Black Panther, you got Bohemian, and you got Stars Born.

And Lady Gaga wins for actress, right? You know, maybe. Let's see, well, this is good. Best Performance in an Actress. Glenn Close, the wife. Lady Gaga, Stars Born. Nicole Kidman, Destroyer, eh? Melissa McCarthy, can you ever forgive me?

Roseman Pike, a private war. Lady Gaga wins that. I mean, I don't care. Clemcoast might be the Hollywood elite, but I can't take her anyway. So, congratulations. You won. Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy?

Crazy Rich Agents, the favorite. Green Book. Maybe that's where they give Green Book a bone. Mary Poppins returns, vice. They might give Green Book a bone there with Best Motion Picture with Musical or Comedy, because that's a pretty... Best Motion Picture Foreign Language. Oh, these are my favorites.

I watch these. Kaepernanum. That's Lebanon. Girl from Belgium. Never look away. Germany. Roma, Mexico. Shoplifter.

Japan. There's no winner in any of those. I mean, those are all tremendous movies. They're just happy to be nominated. Best performance in an actor. Bradley Cooper. Sar's born. William Defoe

at Eternities Gate. I mean, I like DeFoe. Lucas Hedges, boy erased. Rami Malik, Bohemian. John David, Washington, Black Klansman. I've got to give that to Rami. Right? You gotta give that to Rami 4, Freddie Mercury.

Best performance by an actor, musical or comedy. Christian Bale, Vice, Lynn Manuel Miranda, Miranda, Mary Poppins. Vigo Mortensen, Green Book. Robert Redford, the old man in the gun. John C. Riley, Stan and Ali. They actually, they might give Robert throw Redford a bone. He's like 100. He said he's going to be done acting after this movie.

this was going to be his last hurrah. Give him his Golden Globe. Let him go out and say how much he hates Trump. And how terrible America is that's made him a fortune and given him a beautiful life and a great family and all this kinds of property living out in the mountains and being a sex symbol and an actor movie star. But America sucks.

And let him walk off stage. And they could say, yay, Robert, you're the best. You're great. We love you so much. Best performance of an actress and a show. supporting role. Amy Adams, Vice, Claire Foy, first man, Regina King, if Beale Street could talk. Emma Stone. Is it Favorite? Is that how they're pronouncing that, that movie? Because you've got Emma Stone and Rachel Weiss from that movie, the favorite. Best performance by an actor in a supporting role. Um, A Hersha Alley, Green Book, Timothy Charlemagne, beautiful boy.

Richard E. Grant, can you ever forgive me? Sam Rockwell, Vice. Adam Driver, Black. Black. landsman. Best director. This is where Bradley gets his, this is where Bradley gets his Golden Globe for this. And this, again, Golden Globes, I mean, this is just a precursor to the Oscars.

Right. So this is, but they give Bradley best director and that's, you know, give Romney the best actor. And what did I say? Oh, Black Panther, what's the best picture? Best screenplay.

Somebody cares. Best original score. Nobody cares. Best original song. Nobody cares. All these are great if you're involved in it. If you're involved in making these screenplays, scores, songs, they're all great. And they're a lot of work, and they're tough to put together.

But as far as you and me sitting in the theater, it's rare unless you're sitting with someone like, I don't know, Glenn Beck, and you're watching a movie and you're thinking, that was a pretty good movie. Yes, it was, but the original score wasn't that good. I thought they could do better on the original score. Yeah, okay. Thanks, Glenn. Can we go home now? Best television series drama.

This is going to piss me off, I think. The Americans. Bodyguard. Bodyguard on Netflix. There's so many more shows than that. Homecoming. Why? That's just because it's got what's her face on it.

She's not that good. Killing Eve. Okay. Off the top of my head. Best television series drama. On the top of my head. Walking Dead. I mean, I have to throw that on the top.

All right. You can listen to the special podcast of Talking Walking Dead that I do. Yellowstone on Paramount. Tremendous series. The Sinner. I just got done watching that. Jessica Beal is tremendous. Bill is tremendous.

tremendous in that series. Ozark. This is Netflix. Ozark, Mind Hunter, Marcella, Paranoid, Secret City. These are all Netflix series. Where are they at? Nominated.

Anybody watch them? No. Amazon. They threw the one on here. What was the Amazon? Oh, Homecoming. That's because it's got what's her face in it. The hooker from,

she played the, you know, with Richard Gear. Julia Roberts? Yeah, Julia Roberts. She's a hooker? And she played in with Richard Gear and the, well, she was the hooker. Pretty woman? Yeah, yeah.

That's her? Yes. I never seen Pretty Woman. But that's Amazon. They gave it to her. And I've tried to get through that. I haven't made my way, been able to get all the way through that because it's just, it's tough.

Have you seen Mrs. Maisel? That's just released a new season, right? Season two, and they got approved for season three. Yeah, the reviews have been really good on that. Oh, she's great. That's Netflix, right? That's not Amazon.

That is Amazon Prime. Yeah, okay. But Amazon Prime. Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton. That's a good one. Yes. Bosch. He's got like seven seasons on Amazon.

It's great. Sneaky Pete. Yeah. Come on now. Goliath blows homecoming away. Goliath has got what, two seasons? I think so. Yeah.

Stop it. Stop it. I know it's Julia Roberts. Billy Bob Thornton blows Julia away in that series. Then you go to Hulu. I'm one of my favorite Hulu's was their separate one. That was First Man, right? First Man was.

Yeah, first man, yeah. That's nominated in here, right? This is the first man. Was that Best Hello? They were nominated for something. That's Hulu. But Hard Sun? I love that series.

It's about eight or nine episodes. It's called Hard Sun. It's great. What's that Maidens Tale? Is that in there? Handmaid's Tale? Yeah. Is that Hulu?

That's Hulu, yeah. And that's in here, too. She's nominated for something. What's her face? The main chick? Yeah. She's nominated for Best actress, I think,

or Best Television's Best Actress in a Television series? Let's go down here. Best Television Limited Series. The Alienist. Okay, that was okay, I guess. The assassination of Gianni and Farasashi. That was okay.

That wasn't bad. Escape from Dan Amora. Sharp objects. A very English scandal. Stop it. Those time movies. Crazy. Best performance by an actress in a limited series.

Amy Adams, Patricia Arquette, Connie Britton, Laura Dern, The Tale, Regina King, seven seconds. Seven seconds was good. That was good. I don't know that I would have put that up there. That's why they gave it to her as the best performance. She might deserve something. She might win that.

She was really good. And Regina King is great, and she was really good in that. And seven seconds was okay. Best performance by an actor, Antonio Bandaris, genius. Daniel Brew, the Alienist, Darren Chris, Versace, Benedict Cumberdash,

Hugh Grant, yeah, I mean, okay. Elizabeth Moss, that's her name from My Handmaid's Tale. She's nominated for best performance

in a television series. Sandra O is Julia Roberts. Of course, why? Carrie Russell of the Americans. They keep giving, that's FX.

I mean, that's Best performance by, I didn't even mention Ozark on Netflix, another tremendous series. The first, both seasons are great. And I believe it's been re-up for the third season. But that first season of Ozark was tremendous. And this last season was really good, too. And what was the other bloodline, another Netflix?

I mean, those series were great. Best Performance by an actress in a television series. Crystal Bell. Candice Bergen. Are you kidding me? Candice Bergen? Did you watch any of that show? Candice Bergen?

Her acting was horrific. I know she's Hollywood elite. I got it. But I know she's been Hollywood elite for a hundred years now between her and her dad and the whole Bergen clan. But that she sucked. That scene that they promoted for the first episode when the great Hillary Clinton came on, that entire scene should never be seen by humans again. That's how bad it is.

In fact, if you go to film school, you should say, do you want to see how not to do a scene with people who are famous and supposed to be, they think they're good? Roll the tape. And they play that scene. It's just bad. Candice Bergen. Why would they...

Best performance by an actor in a television series. Sasha Barrett Cohen, boo. Jim Carrey, boo. Michael Douglas, the Kaminsky method. I just started watching that. That doesn't seem too bad. That's not bad.

And it's him in... What's his face? Alan Arkin. And, you know, he's an acting coach. It's kind of funny. It looks like it might turn into something funny. I don't know. but he's doing a good

I mean it's it's Michael Douglas Donald Glover Atlanta Bill Hayde Barry they might give that to Michael Michael Michael might be the man for that although they love Sasha Baron Cohen and I don't know why he's horrific

and the best supporting role Alan Arkin yeah with Kaminsky they might throw that to Alan too Succession Karen Kalkin Edgar Ramizzi for Sashi Ben Wisha brings they oh and Winkler Henry Winkler for Barry

they might throw him a bone for that That's what you. Okay. I need to be a part of this nominating process. I don't shake your head and look like you cock-eyed at me. Like, what are you talking about? I know more about these shows and these stupid Golden Globe people on my half-asleep rolling out of my bed. But you're nobody.

Who's going to listen to you? Was that off the air? No. No. On that note, let's go to the break room. I just dropped soda on my computer. I need a towel. Can't be out of the keyboard.

Dude, no, don't rub, don't rub. Just soak. Don't rub, don't rub, don't soak. If I ruin another computer there. Okay. All right, we're good. It wasn't that much Coke Zero on the keyboard. It was all around it.

Hoof. Our IT man, head of the IT department, will probably kill me if I go to them and say, hey, you know those last three computers that you've given to me? I need a fourth one. It's going to be, get your own from now on, Fat Man, is what's going to be. So while we were, now that we're in the break room,

we've done cleaned up, we've spilled all over. It's amazing when you go to the break room, when you spill stuff, you've got to clean it up yourself. You can't just leave it. If you do something like that in a break room at work and you don't clean it up yourself, you've got a problem. I mean, you're supposed to clean up after yourself. You're an adult. You're an adult. Clean up after yourself.

These are the same adults that may leave things in the toilet in the public restrooms too. So those are the same people that need to be fired. If you leave something in the toilet at the work restroom or you leave a mess in the work break room, you should be fired. Those two are fireball offenses in my world. I'm almost not joking. Those two are darn near fireball offenses. Now, the bathroom thing, there might have been a flushing problem with the toilet, so it could have been, might not have been your fault.

The whole cleanup thing in the break room, no. No, no, no, no. You can clean it up. You can clean it up yourself. Because a robot's not going to be around to clean it up. Now they're going to be around at Walmart. We've got robots coming to Walmart. 360 floor scrubbing robots are coming to the stores by the end of this coming January.

They're putting people out of work. Now, say good. As long as they stay in the line, you start getting crazed floor mopping robots going everywhere you're in trouble. Like what happened at Amazon today. I mean, 24 workers sent to the hospital after the robot accidentally. unleashes bear spray. Is that like skunk spray? Is it like deer urine spray?

It's like mace. Sometimes I ask questions. I don't need answers. All the workers are expected to be released from the hospital sometime today, within the 24 hours. The official investigation said an automated machine accidentally punctured a nine ounce bear repellent can. Okay, so it punctures a can. and 24 people uh 24 people go down

no way that's somebody in the warehouse going there's bear spray oh I'm sick too oh I'm sick to Amazon oh oh Amazon you owe me money I'm sick too yeah I was trying to I was trying to rescue Millie from the bear spray aisle

and then I'm hurt two. No way. 24 people at this warehouse got her for one little can of bear spray. That's like dropping one of those light bulbs that are banned at a Home Depot and they've got to shut down and call the hazmed team. No, just sweep it up. Just sweep it up. I can't take it. Oh, no, there's mercury in it. Yeah. And sweep it up and throw it away. I'd be so angry if I was a Home Depot manager and somebody did that because you have to. Right? I mean, you have to, at that time, if you're the Home Depot manager, unless you're there and you just sweep it up and shut up, you got to follow their procedures and shut everything down and bringing them.

Agonizing. We've got to talk. I've got all kinds of stories to talk to you about today. I've got Ariana Grande saying that, you know, music is just so much harder on women, the music industry. And I want to tell you exactly her quote, but I have to answer a few questions to get to the web page that has the questions. I don't want to answer your stupid questions. I just want to see the story. All right. Anyway, let's see if it makes me answer. Oh, okay, it's good. I checked out of it.

It took me to a makeup page and then I can get back to it. Excellent. Arianna Grande has criticized. By the way, just as a side down. You web pages that make people do that. It's very frustrating. Very frustrating. Just let me read the story.

And your newspapers that are dying on the vine, those of you that are giving me, you're on three of four free views this month, and it's day one of the month. So the rest of the month I have to go, you're at your limit. You need to subscribe. I'll tell you secret.

I'm not going to subscribe to the Boise Times. I'm not going to subscribe to death. Havenport daily. Okay. I'm going to find the story somewhere else. So if you want my page views and want my clicks and want me

to look at your advertisers, you're not winning me over by letting me watch read two or three stories and then you've reached your limit. Not going to happen. So Ariana Grande has criticized the music industry for holding women to a

higher standard than their male counterparts. Shut up. She was named the magazines, Billboard Magazine's, Woman of the Year. She said it's so easy for men to become successful. Is it? Oh, you stupid little. Is it, Ariana? Come on.

Didn't she do thank you next or baby thank you? And shard it for like 10 million days. Top one. She got everything and she has changed them. Shut up. Shut off. Thank you. They're unable to accept the fact that women are a million things and not just

Just too. You can be adorable and brilliant. You can be friendly and silly and yet strong and indestructible. You can be professional and present and also sexual and fun. Yeah. So? We got it. I think we've told shut up enough.

And for those of you exercise fans, and you know me. I mean, what do you think of me? You think of exercise. Peloton, the soul cycle. The machine, you know, the bicycle that has the, you log in online, you take the classes with the screen in front of you. Yes, I sell them on the mall. Yeah. So cool.

You bike all over the world and stuff. And people who have them think they're the coolest thing ever. Well, they are. People who have them think they're the coolest thing ever. They are. Well, they now have more U.S. customers than Soul Cycle. They're leading. They're selling like crazy.

The Peloton bicycle craze. the spinning craze. I would say, have fun. Have fun. I mean, but they've made some pretty big stars out of some of the, some of the bicyclists, the spinners that take classes from.

And I know that you're right, you say they're the coolest. I know that people that have them, and I mean this, think they're just, you know, the end, the end of all ends of spinning.

Yeah, the boozy people. Those are the bougie people. Well, you ain't lying. Seriously, boozy people, man. Seriously. All right, we've got to talk about... The train, yes.

We have to talk about George W. Bush's transportation and this week-long novella of his death. And this never-ending trip to be buried. And we've got to talk about... I know we're honoring this man. I know I understand he was a great... man. Let me play a little music or something.

I'm going to take a drink and make sure I got all the soda wiped up off my keyboard. And then we'll talk about the ride. Okay. So it's been the George H.W. Bush novella for the past few days. And today it's coming to an end. I think we've we've had him travel. from Houston to the airport, flown to Washington, D.C., travel from the plane to the rotunda, to the Lion's State, travel to the church, wait for the funeral, play for the proceedings,

travel back to the airport, get on the plane, fly back to Houston, wait until the next morning, travel to the train station and get on a train travel 70 miles through Texas to go to college station to travel from the train to the burial plot

to go to be buried on the family plot A I appreciate it I appreciate it I appreciate it and the people that came out to see the train

go by in Texas I mean, traffic was stopped. Fire departments were together with their ladders high, with flags flying over the overpasses. People were along the sides of the road. People were along the tracks all along. The train was going by. They were waving.

You know, the family was on the train. I saw the special, I watched a special little thing about the train and what a special train it was and how much they meant. to it and the paint job and the special car that H.W. was on and the cars that the family was on, the car that the press was on, the car, the friends were friends were on. And it was all, they all had special names after big events around the country. And this was the last big train, funeral train, since Eisenhower in the 60s. And I just want to, you know, bless his heart, rest his soul, he was a good man.

Who's paying for it? They didn't paint that train, and they didn't come up with all that train with all the different train cars and putting them together and painting them, and they all had their special. There was a dining car and a resting car and a freaking library car and every damn other car. that a special engineer and a special engine for all the power. I love trains.

I do. Life in the train age, baby. I love it. I just want to know who's paying for it. And who's paying for, I mean, we know that we were paying for Air Force One, right? Air Force One went to Houston, back to D.C., back to Houston, and then back to D.C. And you know, Air Force One, I don't know if you know this or not, just doesn't hop in the air for $20,000.

I mean, it takes some money to get that thing off to you. It takes that money, start that thing up, let alone fly that thing around, which I'm okay with if it's the president. And the God hate fearing, mongering, mongering, and hate Donald Trump, sent the plane, did the right thing, went to the funeral. paid his respects to the man. I know you want to still hate him.

I know you want to still say, it's the first time in years with a sitting president hasn't spoken at a former president's funeral. So, whatever he would have said, you would have hated anyway. He didn't even like the way

he shook hands and said hello to Barack and Michelle. You didn't even like the way that, oh, did he snub the Clintons or did the Clinton snub him? It was a funeral. It wasn't like it was general. seating. It wasn't first come, first serve. This is where you're sitting. You sit here. Former President is where you sit.

Hello. And they were sitting in order. Yes. You looked at it. Yes. They were sitting in order. And by the way, when Trump sat down and said hello to Barack, he had his wife, then Barack, then Michelle, then Bill, then here, Larry. Decorum. I'm sorry, and I can't have you that. You forgot Jimmy Carter and his wife. You can't forget him. If they were on the end, I didn't even see him. They were there. You do not, you have to speak about Jimmy Carter. He was there.

Right. Jimmy. So it was Clinton, Clinton, Jimmy, and his wife. Right. Fine. I honestly didn't see Jim. I knew he was there. No, shut up.

But who cares about him? Oh, stop. But he's building homes for humanity. He's flying around the country, bashing the United States, saying how bad we suck. Screw him. You too, Hillary. You too, Bill, come to think of it.

You too, Michelle. As a matter of fact, all of you get out of my row. I actually would have been funny to say. But no, that didn't happen, did it? No. And courtesy, at any event like that, you may actually nod or, you know, acknowledge, which, you know, Hillary wasn't going out of her way to acknowledge Bill or acknowledge Don. She doesn't go out of him.

Or Bill. You had it right. You had it right. So he said hello to Michelle and Barack gave Barack to handshake, Michelle, a quick handshake. He's not leading any farther than that, all right? You don't, though. You don't, though. You don't.

No, you don't. And if they really wanted to go out of their way to shake his hand, they would have stood up and reached down over like that. But that wouldn't have been called for either because it's a funeral. You're not there at a glad hand. You're there to pay your respects. Now, that haven't been said. This whole novella thing with HW, I just want to know. I want to see the price breakdown.

We better have that tomorrow. In fact, it might be out today. I just haven't found it. But, I mean, we had a 70-mile train trip. We closed, how many roads did we shut down for this thing? If I'm driving in the Houston, Austin College Station, neck of the woods today, it's a nightmare. I want to call my son so bad. I'm going to call him on the way home tonight

because I want to know if he got caught in any of it. Because if he did, if he did, I can guarantee you his words aren't going to be, oh, it's okay. It was for the president. Guarantee you if those are not going to be, oh, that was the presidential train that hogged my traffic and left me stuck for two hours.

Oh, that's okay then. People were waving as the train went by. They had the family car. Why were they waving, Jeffrey? Why were they waving? The people on the train. Paying their respects to the president. They're waving at the president.

I'm guessing he didn't wave back. He didn't wave back. And then they had the family in the one car that had the circle top, you know, that's where they get to sit up there. Yeah, those are chairs. And are they watching? They're not looking. Absolutely.

They burn up and be looking. They're reading that. a damn food cart or the damn library. It was a dining cart. Dining cart, yeah. So they better be in one of those. I want them to use every single damn cart, 10 cart for a funeral.

Nobody used them all. I watched the video of the train and they didn't show the car that had W in it because they had his casket in the one train car and it was open so you could see the casket and they had the soldier there guarding it, which was, I mean it was cool. But I did see a shot

from inside of that car that showed the casket, the soldier, and the look outside, you know, as where the train was passing by. It's really cool. And, you know, it was for the president. I know. I know. Rest his soul. Bless his heart.

And I know that, I know that money isn't supposed to be an issue in something like this, right? Yeah, that's what the funeral directors tell you. All right. just to, so you have to upgrade the coffin. I know, I know it's important, and we're sorry for your loss. And some of these are very pricey, I know, but right now, do you really want to worry about that? Yeah. Yes, I do.

Mama's going to be just as happy in the, uh, in the blue $5,000 coffin rather than the hue, $25,000 coffin. I just want to know who's paid for it. I want to know who, I mean, we had the planes, we've had the rides, we've had, how many cars, the caravan? Holy cow. And you know, by the way, the whole family and friends taking the train to college station to where they're going to be buried, you know they brought the entire entourage of autos

along to drive from the train to the burial site and then back home and then back to the train and back here and back there. I just want the total cost. And you know they're not going to break down gas and break down any of that. So I don't want, I'm not heartless. It just seems like we did an awful lot for this man. And I'm just wondering when the next one goes,

say, Jimmy Carter, just off the top of my head let's just say it's Jimmy Carter or let's just say it's Bill Clinton one of those two are going to be the next president to go right unless there's a horrific accident but

Lifespan one of those two is going to be the next to go are we going to get the novella for them too I think the only one out of that group that gets a novella bigger than that is Barack Obama if something were to happen out of the ordinary. If he has a freak heart attack or it gets in an accident, something bad happens, he's the only one.

They'll have a month novella for him. And, you know, okay. But are we going to spend all the money we spent on HW for Jimmy Carter? I don't think so. I don't think so. And if we do, I want to know who's paying for it. Thanks for listening. Remember to subscribe, rate, and review. Email me if you have any problems. Chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
