Learn more at pceexpress.ca. So the airlines are really struggling. We've talked about it here on chewing the fat before. We know that KLM said that they're going to cut an additional 1,000 jobs this year because of government plans requiring all passengers and crew to pass the COVID-19 test.
Starting point is 00:00:36 They cut 5,000 jobs last year, KLM alone. We know that the TSA is now mandating that masks must be worn at the airports and bus terminals, any public transportation. And of course, you have to take it down briefly to confirm your ID, but other than that, you have to be wearing a mask. We know that American Airlines and Southwest both posted record losses this past year. Their recovery will be directly linked to the decline in COVID-19 cases. I don't even know if that matters now.
Starting point is 00:01:15 They all are dying, literally dying, unless they get help from the government. And we also got news yesterday of something else that's happening with the airlines that is really kind of disturbing and doesn't make me feel good about flying. And you have to hear what the issue is. Welcome to chewing the fat. Okay, so apparently pilots are getting rusty and they're making errors in flight. This does not make me feel good about flying. It does not make me feel good at all. I know we're really struggling.
Starting point is 00:02:13 I know we're having to document our paperwork when we're traveling and it's becoming more and more difficult to travel. But when I hear that pilots are getting... rusty and making mistakes while flying, that doesn't make me feel good. It makes me think, you know, maybe I'll just drive. How about that? I mean, we know there's plenty of countries that aren't going to accept passengers and visitors from other countries right now due to COVID anyway. So international travel is becoming more and more difficult.
Starting point is 00:02:50 But travel here in the U.S. is becoming more and more. difficult anyway because we're having to prove that we've had COVID-19 tests and negative tests to get into different states and we're going to be flying they're not even accepting people coming from some states it's really really a strange thing and the airlines are really struggling with it but when I hear that pilots are forgetting to disengage the parking break, damaging towing vehicles while trying to pull the plane away. When I hear that a pilot had so much trouble landing a passenger jet on a windy day that it took three tries before the plane touched down successfully, that one doesn't bother me too much,
Starting point is 00:03:39 actually. I was in a plane coming from Detroit to Dallas, and we were landing in Dallas, and we were coming down and looked like it was really storming and windy and blowing. and when we got close to the runway, the plane started going back and forth, and then we took off again. And we circled back around and tried it one more time. So it was three times.
Starting point is 00:04:02 The third time we landed. And we landed because we came in from a different angle. The second time we tried, we came around, and the pilot was like, yeah, we're not doing that again. We're going around to the other side, and we're going to land there. And we came around from the other side, and it was still really storming in windy,
Starting point is 00:04:18 but he brought us down. And I thought, thank you. appreciate it. So that one doesn't bother me too much because pilots do have trouble landing passenger jets on stormy, windy days. And when they do, they're smart enough and trained enough to know, hey, you know what? We're going to pull up and we're going to fly around. We're going to attempt it again.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Or we're going to come in from a different angle. That's what we do. I appreciate that one. But then we find out that pilots are forgetting to turn on the anti-icing mechanism that ensures the altitude and air speed sensors on the outside of the plane are not blocked by ice. Things like that. Little things like that that make you think, you know, maybe you ought to practice. So I guess what they're saying is that because these pilots have not been flying on a regular basis,
Starting point is 00:05:13 they're forgetting to do things. How about even if they're not flying, we still make them, I don't know, go through the What do you say? Huh? Because I want to know that my pilot is, I don't know, not drunk, not high, and able to, you know, remember to flip the switches that need to be flipped. What do you think? Pretty good idea?
Starting point is 00:05:44 I think so. I think so. And because it's becoming more and more of a pain. to fly commercially, wheels up the so-called Uber for private aviation is going public sometime this year, and it's a standalone private jet company. And I got to tell you, I think it's a pretty good idea if they can make it, you know, worth your while. According to them, demand is inconsistent and maintaining a fleet of airplanes is expensive,
Starting point is 00:06:21 but founder and CEO Kenny Ditcher thinks the interest is still there and the industry isn't just meeting it. He claims that 90% of the people who can afford to fly have not flown private jets. That's a lot. And I will say that if it's affordable to fly private, people are going to do it. If they make it more like flying private, than flying commercially, people will do it. You get pretty used to it. I've flown private a number of times in my life.
Starting point is 00:07:04 I was fortunate enough to be able to do that. And you get spoiled fast. You get spoiled really fast. Like no security. A lot of airports you just drive up. to the plane and get out and get on the plane and you're good to go it's incredible um obviously you have to put on your seatbelt right and you have to uh you know not use your electronic devices right i mean it's incredible the difference it's the the comfort level you don't have to you're not
Starting point is 00:07:50 waiting in line to get on your plane. It's pretty sweet. It's pretty sweet. And if you have done it before, you know what I'm talking about. So, I mean, I think it could work if they could make it affordable. But I don't know that in today's world with COVID-19 and, you know, having to, you know, have the sanitary flying conditions. the testing and the who you're traveling with,
Starting point is 00:08:26 how private is private. How, what do you, what are you paying for? You know, am I going to have to travel with 10 people? I don't know. Do I believe that they've been tested in our negative and they're not contagious? Do I travel with five people? I mean, I guess it just depends on the cost.
Starting point is 00:08:53 It'd be interesting to see the wheels-up payment plan. I mean, that's a pretty good thing to know, you know, who you're traveling with. And that's what makes private so nice, right? I mean, you normally know who you're traveling with, and you're on the plane with people you know, and you're comfortable. And you're going to your destination without having to go through the customary commercial airline pain in the ass process. So that makes it pretty sweet. And if this wheels up can make it so customers avoid that, yeah, they're going to do really well.
Starting point is 00:09:43 So those of you listening live today, the second of February 2021, no. and if you don't know, you will in a moment, that it is Groundhog's Day. Yes, it's Groundhog's Day. And the Groundhog saw its shadow. So six more weeks of winter is coming. That's according to the prediction of Phil, the Groundhog at Gobbler's Knob.
Starting point is 00:10:19 And he's done. done so each year since 1887. Incredible. Incredible. Now, in the past six years, the Groundhog predicting a longer winter three times than an early spring three times. But dating back to 1887, according to the Associated Press, Phil has predicted six more weeks of winter more than a hundred times,
Starting point is 00:10:46 making this year's prognosticated. I'm going to say that word correctly prognostication, a return to normal after last year's prediction of an early spring. Now, they did it virtually, and everybody logged on and watched Ponsetani Phil, and I thought, you know, what do you got to, I'm looking at the guys. I, for some reason this year, it really caught me that, okay, who are these guys? Are they the groundhoggers? Are they, you know, it's the Ponsatoni Groundhog Club established in 1887. Now, you can join the club, and that doesn't say, I kind of see if it says how I can join the club, but I can become a groundhog club inner circle.
Starting point is 00:11:34 And they have the presidents and the vice presidents and the treasurer and his handler, the rainmaker, and the health man, the ice man, and the thunder conductor, and the big chill, and the ozone, the daybreaker. And they've had the... The stump warden and the coal front. I love their nicknames. I want the black top hat, which I have one, by the way.
Starting point is 00:11:59 I don't know that it's as, you know, good or as, you know, as, as, as prestigious as a groundhog club member's top hat. But I do have one. And I want to, I want to, I want to be a groundhog member. Now, I can join the club. for 20 bucks. And that gets me an official membership card signed by the official keeper of the legend of Ponsotani Phil.
Starting point is 00:12:30 The president of the Groundhog Club he'll also receive a copy of his official proclamation. And I'm invited to the reception on February 1st. Huh? Held by the inner circle. But I want to become part of the inner circle. I mean, I think that's probably,
Starting point is 00:12:50 that's an inside game. You don't just become part of the inside circle. That's an inside job. You don't just become a ground hogger. Okay? That just doesn't happen. You can quote me on that. Now, I know that they have other groundhog celebrations.
Starting point is 00:13:11 They have one in West Virginia that was canceled. Not Ponce Stony Phil, though. Okay? No. And in the old days, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, it came to my attention that the Groundhog Club not only relied on the groundhog for their weather forecasting, but they ate them as well.
Starting point is 00:13:33 I say we need to bring back that tradition as well. What did you, what did you, what did you, what was that? Six more weeks of winter? Okay, we're cooking you out. I'm sorry, what? Six more weeks, uh, spring, come early. Oh, okay, well, we'll see. If spring doesn't come early, we're cooking you up.
Starting point is 00:13:53 I think that's what saves the groundhog. You either predict spring and you're right, but if you predict winter or you're wrong on the spring, we cook you up. Sorry, groundhog rules. I may have to interview the people from the Groundhog Club. I want to know. I want to know if I could become part of the inner circle.
Starting point is 00:14:13 I want to know the history. I mean, it talks about the history on the Punksitani Groundhog Club website. about a Christian religious holiday of Candlemus Day and how it has turned into and evolved into Groundhog Day, we may have to talk to the... We may have to talk to the club and find out just what is going on
Starting point is 00:14:42 and how I become a member of the inner circle, not just a club member. That's got to happen here on. chewing the fat. As long as we're talking about animals, I see, you know, we talk about animals going extinct all the time and they're concerned about, you know, the planet killing off all these animals. We just found a new species of whale in the Gulf of Mexico.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Now, of course, the new species is critically endangered because they don't know how many there are. And so, you know, we're concerned about them. It's dubbed Rice's Whale after the... the American biologist Dale Rice, who was the first to recognize the mammal. So one of these whales washed up on a Florida beach a couple years ago. And this biologist said, hey, that doesn't, that scale doesn't look like the other blue whales.
Starting point is 00:15:45 I'm sorry, the whales from birds whales. you know, that are related to the blue and humpback whales. And so he checked it out and, yep, it's a new different kind of whale. And it weighs up to 60,000 pounds, grows up to 42 feet long. But it's a different kind of whale because the skull was different than the bird's whale. Bird, you know, as in B-Y-R-D-E whales. I'm guessing he was another researcher that discovered the one certain kind of whale that was, you know, related to the blue and the humpback whale, but it wasn't one of them. So he named it after himself.
Starting point is 00:16:35 And now there's another one that washed up on shore that's different from that one. And that's Rice's Dale Rice gets to name his whale. And so it's a new kind of whale. But of course, we don't know how many there are. We don't know, you know, we know they're critically endangered. Do we? But I guess we do. I mean, we're going to believe that it is.
Starting point is 00:17:01 And of course, the biggest threats include vessel strikes, ocean noise, energy exploration and production, oil spills, entanglement in. fishing gear, ocean debris. These are the biggest threats to these giant whales. So this giant whale that weighs 60,000 pounds, grows up to 42 feet long, is concerned about entanglement in fishing gear and ocean debris.
Starting point is 00:17:46 No, I don't believe it. I don't believe. You know, you're going to prove me wrong. Oh, I haven't just seen the pictures of the whales and they've eaten all that trash? Yeah, I have seen that. But I find, I'm guessing if I have a fishing net out there, entanglement in fishing gear, I'm guessing that something that is 42 feet long and 60,000 pounds is going to go right through it. That's just me, though.
Starting point is 00:18:17 I'm just, I was just a guess. I don't know that. You know, you just, I'm not a whale guy. So, you know, I feel sorry for him. I'm surprised, though, that the biggest threat, one of the biggest threats, isn't climate change. That's pretty amazing. Because now we've got, I've got another story talking about the world's tiniest reptile.
Starting point is 00:18:41 I know. And why am I talking about the world's tiniest reptile? well because the brocasia nanospheres of chameleon is really minuscule it's about a half an inch long and the female seems to be slightly bigger than the one described but the scientific journals are reporting that the smallest one that they found is 0.75 inches and it's the smallest adult reptile on record and of course they measure it from you know the nose to the but, you know, the cloaca. And, uh, however, what they've discovered about the smallest reptile is when the smallest
Starting point is 00:19:32 reptile is ready to take care of business, uh, it's, it's taken care of business organs pops out and it is 18.5% of the total body length of the male chameleon. So, I mean, it's a big, it's huge. So I doesn't say in here if, you know, some of the comedians are, you know, 19%. If some are 16% who's bigger, who's smaller. But it doesn't, you know, the females are larger. So the males are trying to, you know, show off and take care of a little breed in business with the cabalions. Now, but what brought me to, of course, they're endangered.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Of course they are. We don't know how many there are. So because of that, we're guessing that they're critically endangered. Of course we are. And they can be found in the rainforest in Madagascar. in northern Madagascar. And of course, the Madagascar rainforest is under threat. And there's a worry that these lizards could become victims of factors such as deforestation.
Starting point is 00:20:54 But it doesn't say climate change. Two animal stories talking about them being endangered and they don't mention climate change. Come on now. What's going on? Why are we not concerned about climate change for the? animals. I thought climate change was new, the new racial justice. I thought the world was coming to an end. It's climate change, whether it's cold, whether it's hot. The world is, it's over. Climate change is it. That's what we all care about. Nothing else. We don't care about anything else but climate change.
Starting point is 00:21:28 And yet, we have two stories on possible endangered species and no mention of climate change being a threat to these animals. What's happening? What is going on? I know. I don't know either, but we're going to get to the bottom of it. I'll tell you that. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Desperately. So good. So I see Elon all over the news again. He apparently is going to give up Twitter, or at least not give it up. He's going to take a break from it for a few days. He, uh, he, he, He is talking about his Mars space trip already moving up a little bit on the time frame. I see where they made a big deal about the wife or the girlfriend giving the son, the Viking. The Viking inspired haircut.
Starting point is 00:22:33 I mean, so what is your kid? Let them do what you want to want. But I also noticed that Neurrelink is in the news because they talked about wiring up a monkey to play video games. games, but now, and the reason that he's promoting, you know, the monkey and the Neurrelink wires is because he's looking for people to work at Neurilink. I think I want to work there. I mean, am I ready to work at Neurilink? I think not.
Starting point is 00:23:01 I was watching their video of some of the, you know, people that they have working there, and they're pretty smart, pretty smart people. You could quote me on that. And if, according to Elon, You know, he wants me to please consider working at NeuroLink. Okay. Now, I can work at the Bay Area or Austin locations. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:22 I'm already in Texas. Austin's right down the road. I've already got a place to stay if I need to in the Austin area. According to Elon, if I've worked on advanced wearables, which, you know, I haven't. Phones. I've worked on phones before. Or robots, no. But those skills are needed.
Starting point is 00:23:43 So I have, you know, I'm partial, I have partial skills to work at Neurrelink. I would love to work at Neurrelink. That would be fun. But where they're at is incredible what they're doing. And I was watching their working on the Neurolink robot video. And the one employee talks about where they're at, as far as what the robot can do and what's coming. And it is incredible.
Starting point is 00:24:21 I would say the next big goal for the robot would be to make it so that there's minimal neurosurgeon interface. And a neurosurgeon can walk in and talk to the patient, make them feel comfortable about the procedure, walk them through exactly what's going to happen, and then essentially click go. And the robot will be able to figure out exactly what the specific topography of the patient will be target the areas and take the surgery from the patient coming in and sitting down to them walking out of the door that same day. Wow. So the surgeon comes in and says,
Starting point is 00:24:54 here's what we're going to do. And by we, I mean the robot. And we're going to do this. And I'm going to leave. And I'll be watching somewhere down the hall. But the robot is going to do it all. And then we're going to kick you out of here. Okay. All right. Take care. And really, that's already going on. I was talking to the doctor that took my gallbladder out, and he uses robots all the time and loves them. And there's a number of hospitals that are using robotics.
Starting point is 00:25:30 There are a number that still aren't because right now they're pretty darn expensive. And they talk about it in the NeuroLug video where they want to try to make it, you know, available for everyone, not just, you know, the high and mighty. So, you know, hospitals and people with a lot of money. But it's already being done. It's just incredible what they're doing. There's no, it's just incredible. And the future really looks bright.
Starting point is 00:26:00 And so, Elon, give me a call. I'm happy to, you know, I'll stop in down at the Austin, Neurrelink offices. And, you know, maybe I can hang out. Look, the one robot guy said he didn't know anything about brain surgery when he started working there. So, I mean, I don't either. So, okay? I mean, I got a shot.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Maybe, you know, I know Elon's busy, but, you know, call me. You DM me when you come back on Twitter. Okay? All right. Hey, if you're listening to this right now, bless your hearts. But if you're listening to this and you're not a subscriber to this show, you're just a freeloader listening in, you need to stop being a freeloader.
Starting point is 00:26:47 You need to subscribe to this podcast and then become a free loading subscriber. It's the best thing you could do for your life right now. Nobody likes a freeloader. You know that. But people love free loading subscribers because they think, oh, wow, you figured out a way to get it for free.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Yes, I did. But if you're a freeloader, then it's just like you're a free loader nobody likes that so become a free loading subscriber subscribe to this podcast you can use the platform that you're listening to it on right now if you like that platform or you can use there's a plethora of platforms out there whatever one warms the little cockles of your heart like iTunes iHeart radio stitcher Spotify and any of the others that carry this broadcast carry this show you need to just become a subscriber and make your life that much better.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Okay? Okay, then. So, you know, I was listening to a podcast over the weekend. I think it's called crime story. I'm not, I think it's called crime story. But I started listening to, I started listening to it. And I was, it's like an hour long. And I was involved in the story.
Starting point is 00:28:03 It's about a murder, murders. in New Zealand. And it's two females that host the show, host and co-host the show. And, you know, it's okay. It's not bad.
Starting point is 00:28:17 It's all right. But I was just fascinated about the story. I was involved in the story of these murders in New Zealand. And in the end, they don't know who did it. I don't know who did it.
Starting point is 00:28:30 I mean, they let the guy go that they think got it because the cops all lied and, covered their asses and made sure this guy was guilty when, you know, he may have been, but they didn't have the evidence. So they manufactured some evidence. It was just amazing.
Starting point is 00:28:46 I was so pissed that they end up. So they end up giving the guy who they believe is the murder, a bunch of money because the police had falsified evidence and falsified testimony against him. So now we still don't know who killed this couple in New Zealand. And I think I remember, if I feel like I remember talking about the daughter who's now, I don't know, 50 years old, something like that, because this happened back in the 70s, early 70s. And I remember a few years ago her calling out the government and the police department in New Zealand, the different investigator departments, for just, we don't know who killed your parents. and, you know, oh, well, sorry. So anyway, it was just, I don't know what made me think of that.
Starting point is 00:29:38 This is a fascinating story that I was listening to. Oh, I know, because I was listening to it. And my kids came in and said, hey, what are you listening to? And I saw Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. I mean, it's a rule. No matter what you're listening to, when asked what you're listening to as a subscriber to chewing the fat, your answer has to be chewing the fat.
Starting point is 00:30:01 It's okay that you listen to other podcasts, but the rule is when asked what you're listening to, you have to answer chewing the fat. So I mean, I couldn't break my own rule. Speaking of breaking the rules or having a rule that you need to go by, I see a video of a woman in Memphis
Starting point is 00:30:25 who, you know, they're making a big deal over her fighting off a would-be. car thief. Now, she wouldn't have to have fought off this would be car thief had she followed a basic rule that we've talked about here on chewing the fat before. When pumping gas, when you get out to pump your gas, you need to make sure that your doors, in particular the doors on the opposite side of where you're pumping gas is locked. We've seen it before where thieves come up and they open the door, they take the purse, they close the door, they go. Now this particular thief, in this video, a car pulls up in the next, you know, gas pump lane, kid gets out of the car,
Starting point is 00:31:12 comes up to the side door of the car and the lady is pumping gas. He opens the side door, which is the rider's side, crawls in and he's going to start the car and take off with her pumping gas in it. He's just going to steal the car. So he gets in and she feels the car, you know, moving when he gets in and tries to, you know, get on the, get in behind the steering wheel and she drags him out and whops him. And he takes off and, you know, runs around the car, gets back in the car that dropped him off and they take off. So they, at the time of the story, they never have caught the guy. I'm sure they'll catch him sometime in the near future. But my point is you have to follow the rules.
Starting point is 00:31:56 And the rules are that when you get him. out like that, you have to keep your doors locked on your car. You can leave the driver's side door open. You know, if that's the side that you pump gas, some cars, obviously you pump gas on the rider's side. I get that. But most cars are on the driver's side, I would guess. I don't know. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:32:20 It doesn't matter. But if you're pumping gas on the driver's side where you just pull into the tank and you get out, you open the driver's door, you leave it open a lot of times, and you pump gas and you, you know, you're pumping your gas in your car. You always make sure that the rider's side is locked. Always. Always. And I've done that now for, I don't know, several years now, because I remember watching a video of this guy coming up and opening up the rider's side door
Starting point is 00:32:55 and taking the purse of the lady who was pumping the gas. closing the door and taking off and I thought holy cow if you're pumping gas and you're saying you're leaning up against the car and you're looking at the gas tank and you're just watching the numbers roll right and you're pumping gas and are you gonna if someone softly opened up your rider's side door and took your wallet or your briefcase or whatever was sitting in your seat would you notice that I Probably not. I mean, it's possible, I guess, but could you get to the other side of the car and chase after someone in time?
Starting point is 00:33:38 I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. But why chance it? So remember, that's a rule. Just like whatever you're listening to, whatever podcast, whatever music you're listening to, and someone asks you, as a subscriber to chewing the fat, your answer has to be chewing the fat. When you get out to pump gas in your car, lock the opposite side doors. You can lock them all, obviously, but most importantly,
Starting point is 00:34:08 lock the opposite side doors of where you're pumping gas so that you don't have to, you don't have to worry about thieves trying to, or would be thieves, trying to steal your property in your cars while you're pumping gas. Okay? All right. It's just a rule. Another rule, at least for Hollywood, seems to be, hey, it was a good TV show at one time.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Let's bring it back now instead of, you know, new stuff. So it looks like Frazier is going to make a return to TV. I know. I know. Apparently, they've given, you know, they're looking at giving a 10-episode order for the new Frazier. Kelsey Grammer would be the executive producer and star in it. There's rumors that David Hyde Pierce would come back as his brother. I mean, it was a huge show.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Do we need a new Frazier? I don't know. Maybe. Might be good. Might not be. But in this article, it talks about how both grammar and Pierce are part of a new series and part of their own series, I guess. And one of the shows that Kelsey Grammer is working,
Starting point is 00:35:29 on is with Alec Baldwin. Okay. Let's hope that works out. Okay, Kelsey, like to see that. Oh my gosh, I was just as I'm looking at the story. So Frazier ran for 11 seasons, and it set a record for the most Emmy Awards won by a scripted series 37,
Starting point is 00:35:55 including five consecutive Emmys for outstanding comedy series. I mean, that could be why they're thinking about bringing it back. It's possible. That's very possible. And I see where there's a new show that just got the go ahead for, it's a one-hour drama, and it got the pilot order. It's a Kevin Costner show. It's called National Parks. and it's about a small group of elite national park service agents as they solve crimes while protecting the parks. I like it. I like it.
Starting point is 00:36:36 As we worry about criminal activity in these huge, beautiful landscapes of the national parks. I like it. That might be, that's a good show. I hope it's written right, and I hope the crimes are worthy of going after in the national parks. I don't want to see,
Starting point is 00:36:57 oh, you shot a bear. We're coming after you. No, I want real crimes. Isn't shooting a bear? I don't know. I don't know. You know, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But I want good crimes.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Okay, I want real crimes out there in the national parks. I don't want to have to worry about, oh, you shot a bird, so I want real crimes. Kevin, if you need help right in. Give me a call. I'm here for you. And I see where Hillary and Chelsea are developing a new TV drama. Female Kurdish militia.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Boy, does that sound good, huh? A story of rebellion, courage, and justice. All right. No problem. I know that they've got their Hidden Light Production Company out there. So that probably has to do with their book, right? Yes, because they said they were going to make shows and stories from their book, the Chelsea and Hillary book.
Starting point is 00:38:06 The heck was the name of that stupid book that they wrote. Yeah, the book of gutsy women, favorite stories of courage and resilience. Right, because they wanted to do their human spirit. docu-series shows. And they made a deal with their Hidden Light productions. Well, this will be good. This will be good.
Starting point is 00:38:33 I mean, you're going to want to see Daughters of Kobani a story of rebellion, courage, and justice. Because I know I do already. I'll tell you, a show that's probably in the works.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Maybe just a documentary on Netflix or Amazon Prime or Hulu. But actress Evan Rachel Wood says her ex-fiancee, Marilyn Manson, horrifically abused and brainwashed her, even grooming her as a teenager. According to her, they began dating in 2007 when she was 19 years old. He was 38.
Starting point is 00:39:19 She claims now that Brian Warner, aka Marilyn Manson carried out heinous acts of abuse during their relationship. Okay. Wow. He started grooming me when I was a teenager
Starting point is 00:39:37 and horrifically abused me for years. I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission. She posted this on her Instagram and she claimed the name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson. I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail, her post continued. I'm here to expose this dangerous man
Starting point is 00:40:11 and call out the many industries that have enabled him before he ruins any more lives. I stand with many victims who will no longer be silent. Wow. That does not look good for Maryland. Now, you know, he's such a good guy, right? I mean, his name is Marilyn Manson. I'm sorry, Brian Warner.
Starting point is 00:40:43 But, I mean, some of his stuff was okay. I couldn't, you know, could I name a Marilyn Manson? off the top of my head? No. Have I heard some that I really liked? Yes. But it's easy enough to, you know, look down the list. But in 2009, Manson told Spin Magazine that he often fantasized about smashing wood skull in
Starting point is 00:41:06 with a sledgehammer. That is not good. You know, who doesn't fantasize like that? Right? I mean, I guess they broke up after some big affair. And when that happens, I mean, you're going to fantasize
Starting point is 00:41:24 about smashing in your former lover's head with a sledgehammer. Right? Of course you are. She would first started talking a few years ago about abuse with a partner, but she didn't announce the name. Now, I remember everyone thinking
Starting point is 00:41:45 that it was probably Maryland, right? I mean, she was in this relationship. for quite a while and I mean is there going to be someone else other than Maryland? I don't know. She testified before the Judiciary Committee in 2018
Starting point is 00:42:01 in support of the Sexual Assault Survivors Bill of Rights saying that she personally experienced toxic mental, physical and sexual abuse and more. But she never announced that it was Maryland.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Some other women, according to this story, report experiencing rape, torture, physical abuse, death threats, and more. Okay. You know what that says to me? If this is true, if this is true, Maryland is not a good guy. I know. I know. Don't.
Starting point is 00:42:47 I mean, I'm just going. out on a limb. I'm throwing it out there. But if this is true, Maryland is not a good guy. I'm just, I'm just saying. Now, Manson, uh, was asked to respond to the reports of abuse. And in a statement, a spokesperson for the entertainer said that personal testimony is just that and we think it's inappropriate to comment on that oh so that's not a denial the comments in spin where manson had a fantasy of using a sledgehammer on heaven and he cut himself 158 times was obviously obviously a theatrical rock star interview promoting a new record and not a factual account. Obviously.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Okay. And six months after that interview, according to this, is when Wood and Manson got engaged. But that doesn't mean that she wasn't, you know, brainwashed and tortured. But again,
Starting point is 00:44:17 I'm going to go out on a limb here. And if this, is true. If, if this is true, Maryland, not a good guy. Oh, and before we say goodbye today, I just want to let you know that I told you. I told you it was going to happen. Now, 100% of my prediction is not done yet, but it's coming. So this past weekend, the last few days, they've arrested over 5,000 people for the pro-Nevalny protests across Russia. and including his wife. Big surprise, he was sentenced to nearly three years in prison today. Big surprise. Now, I know everyone thought that, you know, he might possibly get sent to prison. There was no doubt he was going to be sent to prison.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Now, you know, Putin is denying that he has anything to do with it. Right. And I know that, you know, other countries are saying, hey, you need to release him. Uh-huh. he and the wife are just going to poof is this going to be
Starting point is 00:45:30 disappeared you're not going to hear from him Putin's going to say I have nothing to do with it he was sentenced to prison because of the embezzlement conviction I have nothing to do
Starting point is 00:45:45 with anything it hasn't been fabricated this was an actual embezzlement conviction and now he's going to be you know, in prison. And I don't know who poisoned him. That guy that he busted for poison had nothing to do with me.
Starting point is 00:46:01 So all you countries that are going against my country and my courts, the hell with you. I think that's pretty much a quote from Putin. So, I mean, Devani is going to be gone away,
Starting point is 00:46:16 never to be heard from again. Now, I know his one kid goes to school here in the States, Maybe both of them do. I know the one daughter does. And the mom was arrested. And she may get out. And if I were her, I may consider getting out now.
Starting point is 00:46:34 But I doubt she will because she's a big time proponent of her husband and the, you know, opposition to Putin and Russia. And, you know, she wants a better Russia. And she's got protesters on her side. So she may stay in the country. I don't know, you know. you know, I have a feeling and I called that, you know, he's going to disappear. He's just going to go away.
Starting point is 00:46:59 They're going to send him to prison and and it's just going to, what happened? He's in that prison. Can we see him? No. And he's just going to go away. Poof. And maybe three years from now we remember,
Starting point is 00:47:14 wasn't he in that prison? Yeah, something happened. And he's just, he was transferred and then one thing led to another. and we don't know what happened to him. We think he's still alive, but I don't know. It could be dead. We don't know what happened to him. He got transferred, we lost the paperwork,
Starting point is 00:47:33 and now we don't know where he is. When we find him, we'll let you know, okay? All right. Thanks for calling.
