We'd love to talk. Business. Are you a self-starter? Available to work immediately and independently? Have clear writing skills, good evaluation skills, and exceptionally good at sleeping? Well, also, you must sleep alone to ensure an undisturbed nights sleep. Sleep junkie. Yes, they are looking for an official mattress.

tester. So you can apply and if you, after you're done, you get to keep a mattress that you like and you get to make $3,000. That's not bad. Two months, three grand, plus the $1,500 mattress. So you're going to be sent three mattresses over a two month period. You're going to be expected to thoroughly test and evaluate each one. You must also write a review, describing their sleep quality, mood and comfort of the mattress. Now, that seems like a pretty fair deal. After the testing period, you get to keep your favorite of the mattresses, and you get to be paid $3,000.

But we can scroll down here and where it talked about the person that they're looking to do the gig. I get the, you know, self-starter, available to work immediately and independently. have clear writing skills, good evaluation skills, exceptionally good at sleeping. But it says here the individual must also sleep alone to ensure an undisturbed night sleep. That may be true for, you know, a few of the nights that you're testing the mattress.

But isn't testing a mattress wanting the full experience of the test? Mm-hmm. I think so. and what else happens on mattresses that gives it the full test? You know the answer. Welcome to chewing the fat. All right, today is, you know, we'll start off with Business Day after you've, you know, you've talked about a gig that you're going to get my testing mattresses.

Yesterday, we found out that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said, You know what? In quarter three of this year, yeah, I'm going to create a position for me on the board. I'm going to become the executive chairman of the board. And, you know, that's it. I'm going to step down as CEO. Oh, okay, no problem. So I guess you want to spend a little bit more time tested master's with the new girlfriend.

So Amazon Web Services Chief, who's been with the company, since I don't know 97 I think they said has Andy Jassy is going to take the CEO spot wow I mean that's just incredible

now you know I joke around about him spending more time with his girlfriend but I did listen to an interview with someone who actually knew about you know CEOs and big companies and they seemed to think that it was a good thing that he was stepping down because Amazon had reached a point where they need someone who can run it and do the logistics of this monster company that Jeff has created.

And they, and I call him Jeff because, you know, we're pals and we have the same first name. And he needs to just create and be the disruptor that he is. I think the man's done a pretty good job. I mean, it has touched every aspect of everyone's life somehow. And so I don't know that, you know, maybe this Andy Jassy has been running most of it anyway. I know that he's part of the, you know, the web services chief. You know, he built AWS. And, you know, that's a pretty good gig, the cloud service from Amazon.

You know, that's a pretty big deal. So, I mean, sales have topped $100 billion for the first time. I wonder what that had to do with anything with the COVID-19 pandemic. Could it be anything? Maybe. You never know. I know that they're, you know, having their internal problems with, you know, the organizing unions in the companies.

also agreed yesterday, as a matter of fact, to pay $62 million to settle charges around its failure to pay some of its Amazon Flex drivers their full tips. Oh, huh. That's kind of weird, right? Ah, don't worry about it. It's only $62 million. We got that covered. No problem.

Uber yesterday, you know, the ride share, they announced acquisition of the Boston-based drizzly for $1.1 billion. Yes, Drizley. The nine-year-old company is the leading alcohol delivery service. It's partnered with thousands of liquor retailers across 1,400 U.S. cities and provides the infrastructure for stores to offer delivery services. Wow. And unlike Uber, it doesn't actually hire the drivers.

That's kind of weird. So I guess Uber is going to integrate Drizley's. service into its Eats app and keep Drizley app running as well. That's probably a billion dollars for your company. That's a pretty good deal. And if they're going to keep the app up and running, I mean, somebody's got to run it, right? So a lot of the Drizley people are probably still hanging on.

Pretty cool. And you'll be able to, you know, use Uber Eats to get your booze delivered to the house too. Alphabet, you know, Google's parent company, they've done pretty well through the pandemic. They posted an earning record of $56.9 billion in revenue last quarter. That's not too bad. Now, the cloud business of Google, they listed a loss of 5,000. they listed a loss of $5.6 billion last year.

That's because of Amazon's cloud service, right? I mean, Andy Jassy has got that cranking for Amazon. So Google, you know, is probably a little happy that Jassy's moving on to the CEO job and won't be specifically focused on the cloud service. Maybe they can make a little bit of extra money. ExxonMobil recorded its first annual loss. Wow. since the Exxon Mobil merger in 1999.

This is their first loss. Wow. It shed $22.4 billion. Wow. According to them, last year, presented the most challenging market conditions ExxonMobil has ever experienced. Yeah, no kidding. UPS posted a record $24.9 billion in revenue. during Q4's e-commerce bonanza.

Wow. According to this, Amazon paid almost $11.3 billion to UPS last year, representing 13.3% of its total revenue, which is why Amazon wants to get into their own, their own services, man, because that's a lot of money. That could be going back into your own pocket. And Pfizer's report. Yeah, the pharma company, it's going to earn $15 billion in revenue.

What could have happened at Pfizer? What could have happened at Fiverr? I guess there was some kind of shot that they came up with. Something like that. I don't remember exactly what it was. Tesla had a recall. They finally recalled their 135,000 Model S and Model X vehicles over touchscreen display. pretty good. They've been

fighting that for a little while, so they finally gave in and recalled, and they had a tough day, or at least Elon had a tough day, because they had to do the recall, and then the Starship prototype crashed yesterday with the test flight. That was

just, that was incredible to watch, man. I mean, it flew took off perfectly. It looked great, and you're looking up at a grade, it flew for like six or seven minutes, and you watch it coming down, and it looks like, everything's okay and just like every other crash everything looks okay until it's not you can quote me on that everything looks fine until it isn't and uh then it wasn't and uh second one blew up on that

landing man who they've got to uh they got to do a little something little something on the landing of the uh of the starships and craft Heinz. One more business update for you. Kraft Heinz. I mean, who's not a fan of Kraft? I am a Kraft Heinz ketchup police officer. Uh, is close to selling its planters brand to Hormel foods.

Huh. So Hormel wants to buy planters brand from Kraft Hines. I mean, there's nothing like peanuts in your chili, right? Ah. Ha, ha, ah, uh, uh, did I mention that alphabet, you know, the parent company of Google, earned a record of 56.9 billion dollars this year. Huh, just a weird, a weird thing that got me thinking about, you know,

making sure that you're safe online when you're searching for things. Huh. I mean, sure. the companies are going to continue their campaign of censorship, repression, and cancel culture until, you know, probably until the last voice of opposition has been crushed. So they're backed, you know, by some of the largest companies in the world, you know, like alphabet. And so far, they've formed this unholy alliance between,

Okay, so we have got to talk about the woman named Misha Dufonseca. in 1997 she published a memoir recalling her journey to survive the Holocaust in this memoir she said after her Jewish parents were deported by the Nazis from Belgium to Germany she hiked for years through the forest to find them but the lonely kid met up with a pack of wolves that accepted her as one of the own. Being so young, she left home. The then 60-year-old author claimed she had no memory of her

real surname and never discovered what became of her mother, Gershah, and Father Robert. The book is called Misha, a memoir of the Holocaust years. It's been translated into 20 languages, sold millions of copies. It inspired the 2007 French film. It attracted the attention of Disney and Oprah Winfrey. DeFonseca had tears in her eyes on talk shows and gave inspiring speeches to stun students across Europe. And if you thought to yourself, wow, that kind of sounds unbelievable. Yeah. Because it was.

The whole story was a lie. Now, I guess it's okay. I mean, I'm not really, is she trying to, you know, pull the wool over all our eyes or, you know, wolf fur over all our eyes makes it bad. But if she'd just come out and said it's just a story,

it wouldn't have been, well, she probably wouldn't have sold as many copies, that's for sure. But there's a new documentary called Misha and the Wolves, which just premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. And it explains how. how DeFonseca was revealed to be a fraudster after years of peddling her bunk history. That is fantastic.

I mean, it's horrible, and that she lied through the whole thing and, you know, whatever. So now she's been in court because they're trying to get all this money back from her. Like $20 million. right so she was asking for the return of copyright to her name and all the royalties she was due for book sales there was so much anger and bitterness between the parties by the time I got involved there was not much room for

negotiation so they ruled in her favor originally awarding her because she was trying to get money for the movies and they were trying to do all this and they said yeah of course um And then now she's the testimony, and they went before a judge, and now she needs to pay all that money back. Because originally, the jury awarded her $7.5 million, something like that. And then the judge said, yeah, no, she's owed more than that. 7 and a half million. That's not very much.

Give her 22.5 million. Oh, okay. No problem. So now they're after her to give the money back. And according to this, a Massachusetts Appeals court judge, yeah, you're going to have to give that money back. That's just the way.

You're going to have to give back the $22.5 million. Oh. Okay. Now she claims here that she asked for forgiveness from all those who feel betrayed. But I beg themselves to put themselves in the shoes a four-year-old girl who had lost everything. So she's still trying to, she's still trying to sack it and make it. Because it does. Look, it turned out that her parents had truly been deported by the Nazis, but for being resistance fighters.

And according to this, her father, Robert, cracked under pressure of interrogation and revealed all the names of his compatriots in exchange for getting to see his little girl one more time. he and his wife both died in a German concentration camp and Defonseca became known as the traitor's daughter so she lived with her grandma and grandpa wow so I mean that's pretty tough I mean I know that she claimed that she was Jewish and raised by Catholic local churches

and the wolves and then when they were shooting the film they talk about being with wolves and the one guy had talked about how she was in with the wolves, and the one wolf put his mouth over her head as she was in with the wolves, and she just calmly removed her head from the wolf's mouth, and everything was back to normal again with the wolves. And the guy filming was like, well, of course.

She has this connection with wolves. She was raised by them. She's got this connection with them. It was all the lie. I mean, think about that. Could you do that? I guess for, you know, millions of dollars. You know, no problem.

You just, oh, is that a wolf putting his jaws over my skull? Yeah, no problem. Don't worry about it. Here's a nice little wolfie. Who's a good little wolfie? Let my head free. For a few million and having your book translated around the world? Yeah, no problem.

You're doing that piece of cake. All right, let's go to the break room. something cold to drink as it is anyway oh man look at that oh man it looks so good let's see if it is oh that is so good now you know i stopped i stopped promoting uh i stopped saying it was coca cola zero because they're not a sponsor they're not a sponsor of this program and i want them to be a sponsor of this program. I'm such a fan of Coke Zero. I want them to be a sponsor of this program. So if I keep giving them free mentions, then they're not going to do it. They're not going to why would they? I'm giving it to them for free. So today I hear Mr. Bigshot, Glenn Beck on his

radio show, whatever, you know, his national radio show. And he's talking about he's going to boycott Coca-Cola because he's pissed at Coca-Cola in their diversity program and they sent out notices to law firms demanding that the company will require diversity among law firms who bill it for work in the United States and reduce payments if they do not comply. And so, I mean, this is what's been going on with these companies forever anyway. I'm surprised that this hasn't happened already from Coca-Cola. They are a huge, monstrous company, global. They're not going to, it just isn't going to happen.

They're going to bow down to this. And, you know, companies have been doing it. Sure, you can fight against it. And should we, yes, we should make a point of doing it. And are there ways to do it? I guess, I don't know. You know, all these companies want diversity. They're saying you've got to have so many women on the board

and so many black people on the board and so many people from, you know, an island in the middle of the Pacific on your board. You know, they're making it all. You know, you have to do this or at least, you know, you have to make attempts to do this in your companies. So this is what pushed, you know, Glenn over the edge.

Is this requiring the diversity with these, law firms with Coca-Cola. Well, and he's not going to drink Coca-Cola products anymore. And I thought, well, they don't just have Coca-Cola. They don't just have that. They have other products as well. So I went to the company's website, Coca-Cola Company.com slash brands. And they have sections.

under beverage categories. Sparkling soft drinks. Waters and hydration. Juses, dairy and plant-based, coffees and teas. Wow. According to this, 200 plus countries and territories

offer our products. 200 brands worldwide. Good luck. Good luck boycotting Coca-Cola. And I hope, you know, I hope it works out. Just don't mess with my Coca-Cola zero. Okay, please. That would be nice of you.

That's all I want. Just don't mess with my Coca-Cola zero, please. Just a friendly reminder to not boycott chewing the fat. This podcast, no. You're listening to it right now. And if you're listening to it and you're not a subscriber, you need to subscribe to the podcast. It's real simple.

Instagram and Facebook is Jeff Fisher Radio. And if and when that great an almighty parlor come back, it will be Jeff Fisher Radio there as well. However, I don't necessarily see that happening. So I started watching a show called, pretend it's the city and it's uh netflix seven part series with fran libelowitz now she's an author and a writer and you know i i know people have a problem with her but i've always enjoyed her i've always enjoyed her work and i know that she's a new york lesbian and you know i remember reading her

stuff in interview magazine from the Andy Warhol magazine which I loved. It was such a great magazine in the well my grandfather used to get it for me in the 70s and the 80s but I loved that magazine. It was always

really big. They had to downsize it now but in the days of Andy Warhol and when Fran was writing, she wrote for that magazine I think she said 11 years and I found it fascinating that she talked about never getting along with Andy Warhol very well.

They didn't like each other and they would argue, but, you know, she wrote for the magazine for, you know, 11 years. Anyway, and it's done by Martin Scorsese, and Martin is, you know, kind of a, kind of an interviewee kind of guy, and he's not in front of the camera kind of guy. But he and Fran, I guess, are friends, and they've been friends forever. And so I feel like this was kind of put together by Scorsese

as a thing to help Fran out and get her some money from Netflix. She talks about how she, you know, she needed money and she was, you know, she's, she's, I don't know, 70 now, something like that, and she, you know, still, you know, needing money to survive. And it talks about her reading. And it's just her philosophy and her funny outlook on life and her way of looking at things.

And it's just, you know, I enjoyed it. And, you know, I'm a, I'm a semi-New Yorker at heart. You know, I worked in the city. I loved, you know, going in and out of the city. I love New York. The New York that, you know, we know in love, not the New York of, you know, nastiness that we know today. Maybe it was always that way, Jeff. No, I know.

But it's still the city, man, it's New York. And so if you get an opportunity. watches was really enjoyable to me just because it's Fran Libowitz and I really you know enjoyed her work over the years and I enjoy her you know outlook on things but I felt like again you know Scorsese is I feel like this was just a thing he was like

oh Fran needs some money we were talking at a party and Fran need some money hey Netflix you know what I'd like to do we're looking to put a little thing together and we're just going to make it we're going to talk to Fran and we'll shoot some shots in the city and we'll produce some shots here but we're just going to talk to Fran and get her thoughts on life. I love her. She's funny.

People know who she is. And we'll make it into a series and we'll take, you know, give us a few million and give Fran a couple of million. And I'll do it for you. I mean, are you going to say no to Martin Scorsese? No. You just got done making that stupid Irishman for them, which was all kinds of awards and made all kinds of money. So they're not going to say no. Ah, Marty, no.

We're not doing that. This is something you want to do for us? Yeah, okay, fine, no problem. So I feel like that's what it was. But it's still worth to watch if you enjoy friendly with. It's all I'm saying. It's all I'm saying. Okay.

And did you see where DeSantis, Florida, the governor of the great state of Florida, is now trying to go after big tech and social media? you know, under the, you know, guys of ensuring the protection of people and their rights. I know. I know. Good luck. I don't know how he's going to pull it off. But he said he's going to try to get this together.

And he listed, you know, multiple examples of overreach by social media. Please. Overreach by social media. I think we all. know that there hasn't been any overreach from social media. Are you kidding me? I mean, we saw where Nick Pascillo, the communications at Twitter, formerly working for Kamala Harris, by the way,

he just talked about a new study from researchers who released a report stating that claims of anti-conservative bias are a form of disinformation of falsehood with no reliable evidence to support it. So don't talk to me about overreach, Governor DeSantis. So according to the governor, he proposed that he wants to go through the legislative process, that they want to crack down on unfair practices by big tech companies. Now he wants to require social media platforms to give proper notice and disclosure of changes to their content standards or terms of service and provide full disclosure of any actions taking against a user for violating their standards.

They will argue that they've already done that, right? I mean, that was the big fight with YouTube too. And the judge already said with YouTube, yeah, they've already done that. They give you notice. You signed the deal. And that's what Jack tries to say every time he's in any of those hearings. Well, people, it's our rules of service. And we update those rules of services.

And we tell you, when we update those rules of services, that they get updated ever so often. And it's your responsibility to make sure that you update it on the rules of service. And, you know, he's trying, what DeSantis in Florida is trying to do is prevent social media platforms from rapidly changing these standards and applying them on equally against users. What? Why would they do something like that?

That's just silly. Oh, sure. Sure, they used a new civic integrity policy to shut down Mike Lindell. And then they used a new company policy called the Ban Evasion Policy. I guess the ban evasion policy was probably not as new as the civic integrity, but they're both, you know, company policies.

So, I was just, this is silly that you would think that they would just change and apply them against, you know, users they wanted to. According to Florida and the governor, they want to provide users the option to opt out of the various algorithms, these platforms use to steer content or suppress content from the view of other users. I would like that. I would like that. I would like to know the algorithms and be in charge of my own algorithms as well. That's a good idea.

I don't think it's going to happen, but I would like it. Provide users the ability to bring lawsuits against tech companies and empower the Florida Attorney General to bring actions against the tech company for violations of the, requirements under Florida's Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act. They want to, other proposals, impose a daily $100,000 fine on a tech company that de-platforms a candidate for elected office in Florida during an election until the candidate's access to the platform is restored. If a tech company promotes one candidate for office against another, the value of that

free promotion must be recorded as a political campaign contribution enforced by the Florida the Elections Commission. If a tech company uses algorithms to suppress or prioritize the access of any content related to a political cause or candidate on the ballot, that company will face daily fines. That all sounds good. It really sounds good. And I know that they're trying to say, you know, hey, elections in Florida, keep your hands off. It's not for you to do.

Good luck. Good luck. If you're going to, you oppose a $100,000 or fine on Facebook or Twitter, you're going to get them to pay it? Do they believe that they owe that money? Do they believe that their tweet about a particular candidate is actually a tweet about that candidate or were they just giving news and the news happened to be about that candidate? That's not a political campaign promotion.

that's a promotion on the news story. It's just, you know, I love what he's trying to do. And this is some of the stuff that our federal government should have been trying to do when they held all those hearings. And they, you know, said that they were going to crack down and then did absolutely nothing. And they will do absolutely nothing because the social media crowd is too strong. You know, sometimes when people do things, you think, you know, that's a good idea.

So two social media influencers who managed to actually make the Hollywood sign read Holly Boob before being arrested, of course. They were arrested on suspicion of trespassing. Yeah, I mean, they trespassed. We already know that. So what they're mad about

is the censorship on Instagram. And right? I mean, one of them said they lost millions of followers and part of her livelihood. Her accounts were shuttered for nudity. Okay, and not only that, but they were raising awareness for breast cancer. So, I mean, not only were they trying to say, hey, Instagram, let us show our breasts if we want to. They were saying, free the nipple campaign on, I mean, we're freeing the nipple in Gainesville, Florida,

or at least we're attempting to. Now, let's free the nipple campaign on Instagram as well. Julia Rose of L.A., whose Shag-Magg company, is the modern rival to Playboy. And we've talked about Shag-Mag before. I feel like I've talked to this Julia Rose before, too. I don't, maybe, I don't remember. How can I remember?

I mean, yeah, they gain notoriety with their friend for flashing their breasts. series yes and they got a lifetime band for major league baseball yes we did talk to these people yes they've been out in this program bless their hearts bless their hearts i have to go back and find that interview so that we can you know you'll be able to hear it uh we'd absolutely uh talk to them before but you know what they did is they brought a big tarp uh for the bee To go over the W and the D.

They said they attempted to sign to get to the sign multiple times late last year but failed in part because the big B tarps were too heavy. So it looks like what they did was they brought one big tarp and then the other was just put a some sort of tarp or paper or piece. of wood or something in between the D so it looked like a B from far away. So it was a holly-boob. Not quite as good as you think as you want it to be, but it is good. And look, it's sure they were upset about losing millions of followers and a lot of money on their Instagram accounts, but it was about breast cancer. and who likes breast cancer?

No one. No one. Okay? So it's important that we get this promoted and taken care of because no place else on earth is breast cancer promoted. Except everywhere else. I mean, wow. Her personal and company Instagram accounts had 6 million followers combined.

that's a lot of money and a lot of a lot of people a lot of eyeballs it would be 12 million eyeballs to be exact enough if they all have two eyes but according to this she said that she was pushing the boundaries of censorship on those accounts by featuring fellow influencers barely covering up but she also felt Instagram and its parent company Facebook censored accounts unfairly So to, you know, make things better for more established brands like Playboy.

Oh, hello. You mean the bigger companies are getting preference over the little guy? Huh? No, stop it. I won't hear of it. They also announced yesterday where a few more of the new fill-in host for, Alex Trebek on Jeopardy. So we have Dr. Oz now.

We have Anderson Cooper. We have Savannah Guthrie. We have Dr. Sanjay Gupta. They are going to guest host on Jeopardy as well. Wow. So we've got those guys. And then we have, well, Ken Jennings, of course, which, you know, I watched a couple of his episodes.

And he's not that bad. He's not that bad. Oh, man. Oh, man, do I, do I can't, do I, am I one of the only people that can't wait to see her? I guess I am because I'm not really excited about seeing her at all. Bill Whitaker, the 60 Minutes correspondent. And Mahim Billick, you may remember her from Big Bang Theory. She is, you know, played the, you know, the smart one, which, you know, may go over well.

She might be doing it. And Aaron Rogers, are you kidding me? Aaron Rogers is still on the list. Okay. All right. So good luck. God bless. And you know, it happens all around the world.

Not only are people getting arrested and busted for partying and getting together in this country, the United States of America. Did you know that France, France is arresting people. France is arresting people for getting together. and, you know, having a little get-together. Officials were alerted. There was some kind of, you know, nosy France-Carran reporting a little get-together going on. And these people were, you know, fined. And a few people were taken in for questioning.

They had, sure, there was alcohol and there was a large sound system, and there was plenty of other equipment that was confiscated. that was confiscated. Sure, they were breaking the coronavirus curfew in place from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. That prohibits people from leaving their residence unless they have an exemption or are commuting to and from work or school, have medical appointments or essential family reasons. Sure, these people were not having any of the, any of the special

dispensations to be out. There was 81 of them. They were there having a giant orgy. And apparently the Karen was mad

that she wasn't invited. So they shut it down. But it's not only happening here in America. We talk about the orgies that are shut down here in the United States of America and now we've talked about

the orgies that are being shut down in the United Kingdom. And now we're talking about orgies being shut down. shut down in France. The world is gone to hell. When you can't have an orgy in France, I can't take it. I can't. I can't take it. I can't take it. It's bad enough. It's bad enough that I have to read that the national parks are going to have a mask mandate here in the United States of America now. Visitors and

employees alike are required to wear face masks on national park grounds. Now, if you can, according to this, it looks like if you can have the social distancing with anyone that you're at in the park, you don't have to wear a mask. But I don't know that that will work because they're saying that wearing a mask around others. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know. Physical distancing, washing your hands. We know all that. Got that. So you have to wear masks at all times while in the park facilities or on park property. Mask must be worn even outside if adequate social distancing cannot be maintained. So obviously if you're in France and you're, you know, at the house to have an orgy, you know, there's no physical distancing going on. But if you're at a national park, You're going to be outside in a national park and you've got to wear a mask? You're kidding me? No, we're not kidding you, Jeff.

Those are the new rules and mandates from this administration. You know, earlier we talked about the earnings from Alphabet. And I don't know why we have to do this every time, but it's like the disclaimer, Alphabet, you know, Google's parent company. And we talked about the earnings from ExxonMobil. And we talked about the earnings from UPS and the earnings from Pfizer. And it got me thinking about, you know, companies' values. So as I'm sitting here talking to you, I'm kind of scrolling around looking at trying to find some of the bigger company's values. So I'll just, you know, I'll leave, for those of you listening live on the 3rd of February, 2021.

I'll leave you with just five companies that I have in front of me here, their value. to make you feel better about your life. Okay, that's this to me to you, you want to feel better about your life, okay? So JetBlue, JetBlue worth four point valued at $4.5 billion. Now, you know that's going down, right? I mean, there's after COVID-19 and everything else is going on, and it's going to take a lot longer than a year or two to,

to get that value up. There's no doubt about that. GameStop. And I don't know, this is before the Reddit fund with everything else that says here is valued at $22.7 billion. So I would, you know, if you have money in GameStop

and need to get out, I would get out now because it appears to be dropping like a lead balloon. And it was, well, it should because it was falsely valued to begin with. That was the fun of the bet. Twitter valued at $40.2 billion. Now let's get up to a couple of biggies, okay? McDonald's.

McDonald's valued at $154.9 billion. I know. I know. You'd almost think, really, that's it? And Proctor and Gamble. Procter and Gamble. I'd be interested. I should go down into the list.

Procter & Gamble is kind of like Coca-Cola, all the companies and products that they own. But they say here they're valued at $315.7 billion. So Procter & Gamble has well over 60 products that they have. their website real quick here. According to their website, pgoreers.com, 180 countries sell their brands.

They have net sales of $65 billion. Customers that they claim use their brands are $5 billion. And they break down their brands in fabric care, home care, baby care, feminine care, family care, grooming, oral care, personal health care, hair care, skin and personal care.

So that makes good sense that they are valued at $315.7 billion. Wow. Between them and Coca-Cola, man. Who, what's Coca-Cola valued? That's one thing we never talked about today is how much Coca-Cola was valued at. Interesting. It says here they're valued at $84 billion. Wow, I would have guessed more than $84. I would have guessed at least $100 billion. Right. I mean, Procter & Gamble has, it's over $300 billion in Coca-Cola. Maybe that's just the U.S. Maybe that's not global. Anyway, these companies are just too big.

They're too big and need to be regulated and shut down, right? Right? Right. It was the night before the gathering and all through the house.
