Very sad news on chewing the fat today.
Thank you for coming along for the ride today,
but I hate to start the podcast with sad news.
Yeah.
Yeah, let's do that.
Let's play some sad music because I'm going to break this to you,
and I don't know that I want to, but it's what we do here.
We tell the truth.
Cale,
Cale has returned to the Dirty Dozen List as one of the most contaminated,
and vegetables with pesticides.
I know.
I know.
Dry your eyes.
Dry your eyes.
For the first time in a decade.
Cale...
I do yourself together right now.
This is hard.
Cale has joined the list
of fruits and vegetables with the most
pesticide residue.
Now,
sadly, it joins the list
with strawberries,
spinach,
nectarines,
apples, grapes,
peaches, cherries,
pears, tomatoes,
celery,
potatoes,
and then kale.
This is on the dirty dozen list.
So basically everything that we eat.
Yes.
Everything that people tell us to eat, to be healthy.
Yes.
You can't eat them.
You just got to wash them,
you know,
and hope that they got it all off.
All right.
Now, the clean list.
You can go with the clean list.
Okay.
No, sad music for the clean list.
No, no, no, no, no.
Avocados.
Ooh.
Sweet corn.
Pineapples.
Frozen sweet peas.
I would hope that frozen anything doesn't have pesticide residue.
I hope so, yeah.
Onions.
Papayas.
Ooh, papayas are good.
Eggplants.
Go ahead.
Tell me, ooh, eggplants are great.
No, they're not great.
Kiwis.
Oh, yeah.
Asparagus.
Ew.
I like asparagus.
Cabbages.
Collyflower.
Mm, cauliflower.
Cantilopes.
No, not a fan.
Oh, cantaloupes are good.
Not a fan.
Broccoli.
Eh, with cheese.
That might be worse than the pesticides.
Mushrooms.
Well, which ones?
Honey-do melons.
Not a melon guy.
So there's the top 15 of the clean list.
By the way, I want to go back to the Kiwi.
How do you eat a kiwi?
I do you eat a kiwi, you slice it in half.
Okay.
You slice it in half, and then you take the skin off, right?
Yeah, you take the skin off.
So maybe before you take the skin off before you slice it.
Okay.
But you eat the insides of it, right?
You don't eat the skin.
So I bought some kiwis for my wife because I didn't know she was a Kiwi fan.
I was like, oh yeah, I bought you some Qis.
I bought her some kiwis.
That's so nice of you.
She ate it like an apple.
What?
She ate it like an apple.
Really?
With skin and everything.
Wow.
You thought I was the...
So what is the right way to the Kiwi?
That's a good question.
Look it up.
Look it up while we're talking right now.
Because I would...
I always thought that you would slice it.
Because when I made...
When I used to be a produce manager...
Win Dixie.
When you made...
Why is that so funny?
Because like, this is...
When Dix is the only store you ever work, right?
I mean, I was...
I worked for Winxie.
Dixie is a grocery chain, yes.
And.
Winnexie.
That's what I'm saying.
So it's so funny.
That's the only sort of the other.
And then that really shows how Florida man you are.
Because you worked out of Wind Dixie.
The beef people.
Thank you.
We were still the beef people then.
And it was still owned by the, what was there a name?
The one family owned it all at that time still.
Before they went public, when they went public, it ruined it.
But we can go into the Wind Dixie business talk for a.
But when I was a produce manager,
we would slice that, you know, when you made trays to sell separately,
and that's where they make their money in the protest department, by the way,
is selling those trays of cut up vegetables and cut up fruits.
I mean, you just make a fortune in your protest department doing that.
But we would slice the Kiwis up like that, right, and you'd take the skin off.
I don't remember.
So according to the Kiwi experts at Zexpre Kiwi-Fruit, North America,
that's who you would check with, of course.
Duh, they say how to eat a kiwi.
I mentioned they say either way.
They go, just cut it in half with a knife and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
Okay, that's what.
Thank you.
Some people prefer to peel the kiwi first, then slice it.
Just what I just said.
I'm not even an expert on their website is what I said.
But the easiest way to enjoy your kiwi will be to leave the skins on simply
cut into slice it without peeling it or biting into the kiwi like you will eat like an apple pie.
So basically you just slice it and then you use.
And that's the way I used to serve it to.
But it would seem to me that I would clean and cut some of that outer layer off.
So they're saying you don't have to do that.
You need to wash it and then just slice it.
They probably have thin slices.
They do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And if you cut those in half and you just got, that's a little snack bite.
Yeah.
So that's eating the skin.
Your wife's not far off from that.
No, no.
But it felt really weird seeing her eat it like an half.
Yeah.
I used to have a friend that you.
used to eat, when you eat an apple, when you eat apple, right?
You slice it, you cut it or whatever, but you slice it or you just eat it, hold in your hand,
eat around, but the core.
Okay.
What do you do with that?
Throw it out.
Yeah, see, I had a friend that used to eat the core.
Nasty.
I would never do that.
Handicap girl behind us is the core too.
What?
Yeah.
See, I don't want to go down the road.
I'm about to go down, so I'm just going to stop and say that it's not a good thing.
idea. I don't care what you say. I don't care. Don't eat the core. Welcome to chewing the fat.
All right. How many of you use a snooze button? Raise your hands. Raise your hands if you use a snooze
button. I hate alarm clocks with every ounce of being in me. Can't take them. I do it's everything in my
power not to use an alarm clock.
Do you use one? Because I know you love clocks.
Clocks, you love clocks. You love clocks.
That's different than using an alarm to get up.
Now, I do use them now because of, I have like today, I don't have a hard schedule to get up,
but tomorrow I've got to get up early. You know, come in here on time.
I've got to be on time. I believe in being untimed to things.
When I say I'm going to be somewhere at a certain time, I will be there at that time,
usually prior to that.
I feel like you're targeting this at me.
I'm always here on time.
You might not see me.
You may feel that way.
You might not see me.
Oh, you are attacking me.
Why is this attack?
I'm just,
I'm just coming.
All I'm saying is that it's important,
especially if you're in,
let's say,
I don't know,
the broadcast business,
that you would arrive on time.
Time is an important part of our lives.
I get here at 9 o'clock.
You podcast December recording until like one.
So.
All right.
First of all, you do not get here at 9 o'clock.
If we're going to go down this road, I will be happy to go down this road with you.
But there's no need because it's not important.
Our listener doesn't matter to our listeners of chewing the fat.
All right?
But just know.
And I know that you as a listener of chewing the fat know that, hey, if you've got to be to work,
if you're expected to be to work at a certain time, you should be there at that certain time.
That's when you're expected to be there, period.
But I just hate getting shot out of a sleep with an alarm.
I just hate it.
I mean, I trained myself for a long time to wake up.
At that time, I was part of a morning show that started at 5 a.m. Eastern.
So I'd get up at 2.30.
And I trained myself, I would wake up every morning without an alarm between 2.15 and 245.
How long did it take you?
A few months.
Yeah, same here.
A few months to get it.
But once you get it, you're good.
Isn't that so cool?
But just wake up.
What happens is is that, and you set an alarm in your head.
You know, I can tell you how I do it.
Can you?
Why do you say it like that?
Because you told me this story, and I love your story of, because I do it differently.
And it's very weird that we both do it.
It works, but it's two different ways.
I just know that in my mind, when I lay down, I picture a clock.
What kind of?
A analog circle clock.
All right.
And whatever time it is that I'm laying down at, if it's, you know, let's say nine.
I picture in my head it's nine o'clock on that analog circle clock.
And then I watch it go all the way around in my head.
10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 30 mark.
That's when I want to get up.
2.30.
Stop.
And this is all in your head.
This is all my head.
And I go to sleep.
And at 2.30, I'm up.
Now, that having been said, you got to do that on a regular basis and train yourself to do it.
Because other things play a factor, medications, you're off schedule.
You know, like if you're, other things play a factor in it.
So I do use an alarm, but I hate it so much that, I mean, it's rare.
that I snooze because I hate hearing the alarm so much that when it goes off,
I just shut it off and I sit up.
Obviously, there's exceptions to every rule.
What about last Tuesday when you laid back down?
I know, I got it.
But for the most part, I just cannot take it.
I just don't want to hear the alarm.
I'd rather be up.
So now, because of World Sleep Day, which was last week,
and I wish I would have participated,
I think I'm going to have to, I think I'm going to celebrate this weekend, actually.
World Sleep Day.
I'm going to celebrate.
It was the 15th.
It was the other day.
It was, you know, six or seven days ago, but I'm going to celebrate this weekend.
How do you celebrate that day?
I'm just going to sleep.
Oh, that's all you do?
Yeah.
It's World Sleep Day.
Well, I thought it was like something fancier than just sleep.
Maybe you have to go out and buy a pillow.
Buy a pillow.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Or something like that.
Because the people of Eve's Sleep wrote an open letter to,
Apple's London headquarters
because they want Apple
to get rid of the snooze button
on their phones.
If I'm Apple, I reply with
no.
Thanks for writing.
No.
Who is this?
Hello?
Yes, is this Apple?
Yes.
This is Eve Sleep.
We have a request.
And you are?
Eve Sleep.
We're big sponsor.
of World Sleep Day?
No, no, you're not on the list.
I just need to talk to someone in charge.
No, no, no, no one home here.
No.
No, but this is the headquarters of Apple.
See, see, yes, yes.
And I need to talk to someone who's in charge
who puts things on the phones.
Eve's sleep?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Dear Apple, we want you to take the alarm up.
No.
Actually, if you're Apple, you make it bigger.
Right.
and look and Apple I was surprised
that Apple is one of the bigger
ones in the United Kingdom
because here in the U.S.
I think
Android is still larger than Apple
and Android all over the world
is still bigger. Don't look at me like that.
Look it up. I'm telling you.
Look it up. Don't look at me with that side eye
the edge look. I'm telling you right now.
I don't want you to be giving fake news on this network.
Especially on this program,
CTF.
we do not give fake news.
50% of smartphones in the UK in 2018 were iPhones.
In the U.S., I, for worldwide, Android is for sure number one.
Worldwide Android, Apple is not above the world.
Here in the U.S., I still think Android has the tipping point.
Apple is not in front.
And with 50% in the United Kingdom, they're not in front in the United Kingdom.
they're not in front of the United Kingdom either.
They're tied.
Go ahead.
I was waiting for you to give me a number.
According to you with this, which is fake news, Mr.
I have an iPhone, so everybody has to have an iPhone.
Go ahead.
I'm waiting.
The reason we're all going to wait is because I'm right,
and he doesn't want to say it out loud.
I guarantee you.
He looked up one number and it was so overwhelming.
He had to look up another number because he doesn't believe it.
I guarantee you that's why it's taking so long.
So go ahead, Chris. We're waiting. We'll wait here. In fact, I'll tell you what.
We'll treat it. I don't want to treat it as putting people on hold, but we'll just play a little soft music.
Well, we wait for Chris to look up verifying facts to prove that Jeff Fisher is correct.
I've had enough of the soft music. How about you tell me I'm right.
So I'm looking in here and you're right.
I know.
That is so weird. Why is that?
Because why is it that?
Because you elitist bastards with your iPhones think you own the world and you don't.
No, seriously.
In my, like, I'm not joking here.
It feels like iPhone and Apple has a bigger share market than the Android.
It does in this building.
Yes, in this building, yes.
It doesn't, you know, the people that you, that you're around, it definitely does.
Yeah, because I believe in my circle, everybody has an eye.
iPhone except for the fishers.
And I include you my circle.
That includes my immediate family.
The in-laws.
Yeah, we'll have iPhones,
except for the fishers.
Oh, wow.
That is interesting.
Isn't it?
It's interesting that I'm correct.
I really is what you're saying.
No, no.
Yes, of course you're correct.
But according to this, it's like
Samsung, for example.
I don't know.
Q4 from 2010, they were, you know, 2.4 million, you know, increased, right?
In 2017, Q4, 74 million.
Ooh, look that.
Apple sold more, but they're still number three.
Yeah.
But, yes, Android will take the number one slot.
That is so cool.
I'll learn something new.
I like that.
That's so cool.
You're welcome.
As long as we're on tech
and we're on things that,
you know,
I was proven right with the Android and the Apple.
Don't get too cocky because I feel like
you're going to crash.
So don't.
Just humble.
What do you mean?
Humble.
Just be humble.
All right.
I'm sorry.
I was correct.
And then I was right over the Android
of the iPhones. I apologize for being correct.
Is that humble enough? Is that what I was going to be?
Yes. Yes.
So apparently we have a big problem with
Siri and Alexa and Cortana.
You know what Cortana is?
No. What is Cortana?
I don't know. I'm asking.
It's got to be another...
Spell it.
C-O-R-T-A-N-A.
It's got to be another computer-ordering
machine voice box, you know, like Google Home, Alexa, Siri.
Cortena is the Siri of Windows.
Okay, there you go, yeah, all right.
So people are mad, and I say people, a couple.
Two?
He probably.
That you still have two choices for vocals on these devices.
I have a question.
Male or female.
I have a question before you get into that.
How we figure out all the problems in the world and solve them?
Not that I'm aware of.
Okay.
So why is this?
issue. Did we find the cure of cancer? Joe Biden. Not that I'm aware of him. Called Joe Biden
because he's supposed to be working on it. Working on the cure cancer. Cure of AIDS, HIV.
Pretty close probably to that. Yeah. Okay. So. We haven't, I don't think we've cured it.
No? We're pretty close to. We're close to. We're taking care of it. Okay. But we're going to
focus on the gender, the gender, the gender of the voice of a computer. Yeah. So when I, when I
say Alexa.
Oh, you used trigger the crap out of Alexis.
Sorry.
I really did not mean to do that.
I apologize.
But, you know, whatever.
Get off me.
But when I say, Alexa, what voice do you hear?
Whatever one you've chosen, where you can choose a male or a female, right?
British, English, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah.
So people are a little wound up.
Are they seen, are they really wound up?
They are all, man, they are wound up.
Because, you know.
Technology is hard.
Hard wiring sexism into our future, Chris.
Is it?
Is it Jeff Fisher?
Right into our brains.
I cannot take you seriously right now.
Well, I come just telling you what they say.
They, it's what they say.
So what they've done now is they're hoping to eradicate this gender bias and technology.
Because we figured out cancer, HIV, AIDS, and cured.
No, not yet.
We're getting there, though.
We haven't.
We're getting there.
We're going to figure this out.
I'll tell you that.
We're going to take care of.
Let's take care of this first.
We eradicate the gender bias of technology.
Forget about cancer, forget about AIDS, and forget about all that stuff.
Okay.
No, we're not going to forget about them.
We're just pushing them off to the side.
And focus on gender for robots.
Yeah.
Nailed it.
Wow.
Okay, so researchers have been researching this.
I'm sorry.
Well, I hope the researchers be researching.
That's what they do.
I hope so.
It's what they do.
Yeah.
Forget about cancer.
the other things.
So we got together a group of linguists,
technologists, and sound designers.
They got nothing else to do.
Not because we figure it out.
And they want to have a genderless voice.
Do they?
They want to have a genderless voice.
They want to have a genderless voice.
They want to fight this.
They want to eradicate gender bias in technology.
And that's the thing?
Duh.
It is today.
Yeah, we want to, we're on a fighting to eradicate gender bias in technology.
We're so doomed.
So, whatever, such a hater.
And all we're doing is, what we do is, wait a minute, I've got to find the line.
Ratifying.
No, we want to eradicate gender bias and technology, but really all we're doing is, uh.
I thought this was like a passion of yours.
Oh, it is. Oh, man, it is.
It is a passion.
It's such a passion that you do we know what you eradicating?
Because we've recorded.
Oh, I'm so pissed.
I'm so pissed right now.
Oh, you are?
I want this eradicated, yes.
Oh, no.
Because all we're doing is confirming gender bias.
Through technology, voices.
Let me tell you something.
I'm so pissed right now that what we're doing is hardwiring sexism into our future, is what we're doing.
Through voices.
Through voices.
It went just male and female.
Yeah.
And Syria, Alexa, Google.
Yeah.
Okay.
So what they did is they recorded a bunch of people and they wanted to identify.
Oh, how dare you?
How dare you?
A bunch of people?
A bunch of people, male, female, transgender, non-binary,
and they were searching for a voice that typically doesn't fit within male or female binaries.
Does that exist?
To find this voice, the Q team conducted a test involving 4,600 people who were asked to rate the voice on a scale of 1 to 5.
one being male, five being female.
So they worked on the pitch, the tone, the format,
and they finally achieved Q.
Is Q the genderless?
So Q is the voice that takes us away from gender bias.
Okay?
And it's going to, it's challenging gender stereotypes.
It's also encouraging tech companies to take societal responsibility
when it comes to diversity and inclusivity.
What happened to individual responsibilities?
Why is your mic even on?
I believe in individual responsibility.
Do you?
And all you believe in is hardwiring sexism into our future
is all you believe in.
I do because that's what we have.
We have male and female.
Do you have penis or a hoo-ha?
So now we have...
Q.
Hi, I'm Q, the world's first genderless voice assistant.
Think of me like Siri or Alexa, but neither male nor female.
I'm created for a future where we are no longer defined by gender.
Amen.
But rather how we define ourselves.
Amen.
My voice was recorded by people who neither identify as male nor female.
And then altered to sound gender neutral, putting my voice between 145 and 175.
5 Hertz, arranged defined by audio researchers.
But for me to become a third option for voice assistance, I need your help.
Share my voice with Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
And together we can ensure that technology recognizes us all.
Thanks for listening, Q.
You're welcome.
You are welcome.
And I hope that you will join me to eradicate,
gender bias in technology.
So there you have it.
Are you going to work with me, Chris?
Are you still going to just hardwire sexism into the future?
That's a guy.
No, it's not.
That's Q.
Q, the guy.
That's it.
No, it is not.
Yes.
That sounds like a guy.
Look, there's plenty of people on the planet that if you close your eyes and listen to
them, you can't tell the difference.
It's kind of creepy, though.
It's almost talking to me why I'm going to close my eyes.
I know what my point is is that the voice
That's what you know that you can't
It's the same
You don't know if it's a girl or a guy
There's a lot of people that you wouldn't know
If you weren't looking at them
You wouldn't know if it was a girl or a guy
Okay I'll go down this one
Okay
This is a guy
No it's not
Okay I'm gonna close my stupid eyes
Because I'm gonna tell you that
Still sounds like a guy if I even close my eyes
Hi I'm Q
The world's first gender
voice assistant.
Oh yeah,
gay guy.
Well,
you've already,
you've,
this is the guy
you find a deep alum
selling you
ice cream cones.
I mean,
you've already,
you've already
had it in your brain
that it's a guy.
So it doesn't matter.
With your eyes closed
or open,
you're there already.
Okay,
so what would a genderless?
If I brought in,
if I brought in,
well,
they used 4,600.
But if I brought in,
say,
seven people.
Okay.
All right?
brought in seven people
without,
you seeing them come in.
Okay.
Let them talk in to the mic.
You could not get 100%.
Second.
Hello?
Here's one.
That is a little girl.
Hello.
That is a grown-ass man.
Hello.
That is another grown-ass man.
I don't know what you're talking about.
That is an old lady.
I only found four people and you got them right.
I was wrong.
So for me, a genderless voice is this.
This genderless voice.
to be hello we call and then we create our own the jeffy hello
jeffy no you can't trigger yourself let me trigger you okay let me trigger you
hey jeffy hello what time is it two fifty three p.m. central time

Make a left.
You'll be at your destination.

Who is Glenn Beck?
Glenn Beck is a radio and television personality

Oh, no.
Hey, Jeffie.
Hello.
Good night.
Good night.
Sleep tight.
Don't let the bed bugs, bye.
So as we're walking over to the break room,
I want to tell you that Betty Ford's former Hollywood mansion is up for sale.
You can get it for $30 million.
That's it?
I know.
It seems like I'm like only $30 million.
And when you look at where it is, it's 18.2 acres.
Where is it's location?
What are we talking about?
It's up on the hill.
So where her perch is in Hollywood Hills.
Hollywood Hills.
So you can see the Hollywood sign.
You can see the Hollywood Bowl.
I mean, it's gorgeous.
You see the lake.
It is beautiful.
$30 million?
Right.
That's, there's something around.
Someone died in there.
Well, she may be buried there.
I don't know.
Someone died or this faulty.
What they're talking about, they're selling it.
What they think they're going to do is break it up and make condos and leave like nine acres at the top.
and why would you why no so you're telling me somebody you're telling me that somebody can't drop 30 million for this joint
Glenn okay you're telling me somebody can't drop 30 million for this joint Mark Levin
yeah I guess but Levin lives out on the East Coast he doesn't like California
Glenn at least I think I like California too if you could live there and not have to live in
California I don't think that's possible if you could live in California and not have to live in California
be beautiful.
I think it's gorgeous.
It's like a blimp.
It's gorgeous.
Why is that a fat joke or something?
With a blimp?
What are you talking about?
No, because you're living in California,
but you're not living in California.
You're on the air.
It's not.
Why does it always have to be a fat joke with you?
That's what I'm asking.
Why is it always have to be a fat joke?
But it wasn't a fat joke.
Sounds like it to me.
Well, that's tough.
That is sounds like a fat joke.
So, anyway.
30 million.
bucks for this joint.
It does seem
worth the money.
18 acres in the Hollywood Hills
out there. Is she dead? Oh yes.
Betty Ford? Yeah, she's dead for a while.
So even though she's dead,
it still can bring in more money?
That's crazy.
I know. I mean, when you look at
Hollywood Bowl, Lake Hollywood Park, Universal Studios,
I mean, it's gorgeous.
Gorgeous.
Yeah, put up the,
picture so the audience can see.
Okay, look at this one.
You can see this one was great.
I don't want the close-up sign on the Hollywood side.
But look at this.
You can see the lake.
Look at that.
Yeah.
But, you know, the main parcel is right there by the highway, which is kind of.
Oh, so the highway is bringing the price down.
Probably.
That's probably what brings it down.
You know, we can call Mercury Real Estate Agency.
Trust.com.
Oh, my gosh.
Now, that's a great idea.
Real Estateadrust.
com might be able to help us out.
And let us figure out a little bit what the heck is going on.
Yes, that's a great idea.
See, that's a, that's a, that's a, a realtor that is not part of a real estate
insetrust.com because there's no way they will sell that for $30 million.
Right.
They can get you more for that.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, $30 million is their cut.
Right.
It has to be.
There's got to be.
So real estate insidestrust.com.
Get them on the phone or the website, real estate adjutantrust.com.
And we got to find out what's going on with that.
the Betty Ford place.
Who died?
Why is it only 30 million?
What's going on with it?
We need to break down.
Because it's too much.
It's too beautiful.
And it's 18 acres in the Hollywood Hills.
Come on.
What's the problem?
What's the problem?
And it could be that the, you know,
U.S. 101, the highway is run right by there.
But it's not, it's up on the hill a little bit.
We've got to know.
Real Estate Insightrust.com.
Get them on the horn.
All right, so we have Jamie from real estate agents.com on the phone.
Thank you, Chris, for getting somebody on the horn.
Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome.
You went to real estate agents, I trust.com.
I did.
Amazingly, they called.
That's how good a company this is.
That's how good they are, yes.
So, Jamie.
Yes, sir.
How are you?
Thank you for participating.
Well, I'm happy to help.
Now, I see, I'm listening, so I see you're in your car already,
and you're on your way to California to help us out.
Yeah, we dispatched him to California.
Yeah, he's dispatched him to California.
Oh, absolutely.
I'm taking my turn.
Texas truck out there.
So, Betty Ford's former Hollywood Hills place, is up for sale for $30 million.
All right.
It's 18.2 acres.
All right.
30 million.
That seems like something's wrong.
It should be more than $30 million.
Well, capitalism is a funny thing sometimes.
It'll get you.
It'll make its decisions on what it wants to do, and you've got to find that buyer, right?
Okay.
So what I'm saying, though, is that if we could get it for $30 million,
I think we get it.
Hey, I'll drop the contract right now.
I'll pull off the road.
I think we get it.
Now, I'll write you the check.
Perfect.
Don't cash it.
Got to let it sit.
The check will look good with the paperwork there.
Is it going to be one of the giant checks?
It'll be whatever you want, but it ain't going to, don't cash it.
So, all right, Jamie, I do want you to look into it, though, and get back to us,
because I want to know, WTF is wrong with this property.
Hey, I'll be happy to look at.
For $30,000,000, because they're thinking about breaking it up and putting condos on and everything.
That's a waste of a beautiful property.
Describe a little more.
Describe a little more.
What can you see through this house?
I mean, you can see the Hollywood signs.
You've got, it's up by the Hollywood Bowl, the Lake Hollywood Park, Universal Studios.
Now, it does have, you know, highway, what is it, Highway 101, I think, that runs through there,
which is kind of, yeah, U.S. 101, which is Highway 101 is actually a country band,
which I listen to, but U.S. 101 is the highway that runs by the property.
So, I mean, it's a beautiful place. It just seems like there's got to be a problem for only 30 million.
And I want you to find out what the problem is.
Because real estate atinsetrust.com is that good.
Yes.
Absolutely.
And, you know, absolutely.
And, you know, then we'll see if we can work out a deal.
Hey, that sounds great.
I'll take that check and I'll hold on to it for you.
I'll put it in my wallet myself.
I love you for that.
Thanks, Jamie.
I appreciate it.
Real estate agents.
itrust.com.
Let's go to the break room.
It's thirsty anyway.
I need some code zero.
All right, well, as long as we're in the break room,
have you seen some of the photos,
and I'll hold it up here for those of you, you know,
listening on the podcast,
but have you seen some of the photos of the flooding
in, you know, Nebraska and Iowa
and Missouri. It is horrible.
And it, I mean,
some people are going to go through some drastic
changes, and it's going to be,
it's not going to just
fade away.
The water isn't going to just recede, and we're
back to, we're back to live it again.
So global warming is real. Well, I don't
know what you call it that, but
definitely earth changes. Remember,
I used to get a thing called Earth
Changes report from a guy,
Gordon Michael Scalion.
And I think Gordon is still alive. He's a
futurist. We should try
to talk to actually Gordon. He'd be a
he's a futurist from
he lives in New Hampshire. He moved everybody in New Hampshire
but his maps
his earth changes
map that was supposed to have happened already
so Gordon a little bit
laid on what he predicted would happen
but his map was supposed
to in the center of the country
where some of this is happening like where
the Mississippi River is
the country would break in half almost and not
break in half but it would be a
giant river.
You know, so it would be two big parts.
And then a lot of the shorelines would be overtaken with water too.
Like Florida would be really little now.
You know, there still be some land there and look like Florida.
Only would just look like a miniature Florida, a real little one.
Because the water came up.
So if you're living on the shores, goodbye.
A nice day.
But maybe we talk to Gordon Michael Scallion and see what he's seeing.
for the future now.
And see if he can get me.
I used to get the Earth Changes report.
And then he started charging all kinds of money for it.
Gordon, what are you doing?
Capitalism.
Yeah, capitalism was working for Gordon.
No problem.
It wasn't working for me.
All right.

Now I'm surprised at Phil is tour though because he stopped touring for a while because
of his arthritis and stuff was so bad he couldn't drum anymore.
But so that means he's just singing.
He's not he's not drumming because he was with Genesis for years and he was a drummer
with Genesis for years and he drummed on his own tour for a long time but uh what are you shaking your
head all i know that he did some disney work and that's it you know what we're done we're done
