So I guess we're supposed to be relieved.
The iconic, I call it iconic, Windows XP default desktop wallpaper.
You know, the sloped green hill with the blue sky and the clouds.
And I guess people have always wondered if it's real or not.
I on the other hand looked at it and just figured it was not real.
not real. But according to this story, the editor-in-chief of the San Francisco Gate
recently set out to find if it was true or not. Well, it is true, and it must not have been
very difficult since other people knew about it for years and years. It is the farmland in the
Alpaca Farm on Highway 12 in Sonoma, California. And across the street, it's cover
with wine grapes.
Well, so Charles O'Rear, the photographer snapped the picture back in 1996.
It's known as Bliss Hill.
And he claims that, look, I just took the picture.
I'm driving through Sonoma.
It's always a carpet of green grass in January.
It's beautiful.
I knew that.
And I just, you know, it was perfect, the perfect light, the perfect clouds.
and the photographer, Mr. O'Rear, is 79 years old now,
and he uploaded the photo to a stock photo agency,
and Microsoft discovered the shot,
paid an unknown but reportedly six-figure sum for the rights to it in perpetuity,
and promptly plastered it across the globe as part of their marketing campaign.
He, the photographer, I mean, has been a great photographer,
for a few years. Los Angeles Times, Kansas City Star, shot for National Geographic for over 20 years,
and he knows that this is the only shot he's going to be remembered for.
But the funny thing is, is that he says not a week goes by that some email comes through
about the photograph, and this is just, you know, a wonderful thing. He's, you know, he's happy
about it, obviously. Well, I'm surprised that the editor and chief,
of San Francisco Gate, I'm sorry, S.F. Gate,
had to set out to find out if it was true or not.
Apparently, everyone knew whether it was true or not.
If you cared, you could find out.
So I'm relieved now that I know that when I see the iconic picture
on the Microsoft desktop wallpaper,
I'll know now.
And so will you.
It's real.
Feel better?
Me too.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
I have got Zoom Brain.
How about you?
Well, it's not called Zoom Brain.
It's called Zoom Fatigue.
I know.
I didn't realize I had it until now.
But apparently there's a new study
which has proven that Zoom fatigue is a real thing.
And there's four causes for Zoom fatigue.
One of them, excessive amounts of close-up eye contact, is highly intense.
Seeing yourself during video chats constantly in real time is fatiguing.
Video chats dramatically reduce our usual mobility.
and the cognitive load is much higher in video chats.
Okay.
So if you're feeling, you know, exhausted, your eyes are irritated.
You tend to avoid social situations after video conferencing.
You feel emotionally drained after video conferencing.
You're tired to do, you just don't even want to do anything after video conferencing.
I mean, it is
exhausting.
And so you have Zoom brain.
I'm sorry, Zoom fatigue.
And we're all suffering from it these days.
Right?
Of course we are.
Yes.
That's why Stanford researchers set out to identify the four causes.
Well, they set out to identify causes of Zoom fatigue.
But now,
they have identified four causes of zoom fatigue it was done by the
Stanford virtual human interaction interaction no it was not interaction the
Stanford may have one of those labs as well but this particular lab is the
Stanford virtual human interaction lab wow it's the VH I L not the VH
E-L and they examined the psychological consequences of spending hours per day on these platforms,
whether it be the V-H-I-L or the V-H-E-L, as I have now deduced that there is a lab doing that study at Stanford.
It is the first peer-reviewed article that system, I can't even say the word.
after V-H-E-L, I'm stuck.
It's the first article that deconstructs Zoom fatigue from a psychological perspective.
And we set out, we didn't set out to blast Zoom for anything.
It was just, you know, prolonged video chats contribute to the feeling that's commonly known as Zoom fatigue.
They give you some solutions as part of their study.
They talk about you should zoom out of the full screen option and reduce the size of the zoom window relative to the monitor to minimize face size and use an external keyboard to allow an increase in personal space bubble between oneself and the grid.
If seeing yourself during video chats is fatiguing, you should default practice of beaming the video to both self and others when it only needs.
to be sent to others.
Users should use the hide-self button,
which can access by right-clicking on the photo.
If you use Zoom every day,
you should be able to figure it out.
And if you, you know,
it reduces your ability to be mobile.
Perhaps the external camera can be moved farther away from the screen,
and this will allow you to pace and doodle.
And maybe you could turn.
the video off periodically to maybe you know audio only just a thought you know that's just me uh you know and look
in this all would have been solved had you followed my orders those not my orders my idea in the very
beginning of this lockdown which is almost a year now uh i mean it is the first of march 2021 for those of you
listening live and it's we are what 15 days from uh we're 15 days from 15 days to
you know flatten the curve and uh wow it's been a long 15 days hasn't it yes it has but when we
originally started the lockdown and we started using Skype and zoom and video conferencing and
everybody was having their meetings at home and some people needed to have the camera shut off
way before now, as we found out, as they were doodling on camera.
But you should have just had a cut out picture of you to set up in front of your camera.
So you're still participating in the meeting, but you can lean back and doodle and do all the doodling you want to.
And people just see the cut out of your face on the camera.
If you would have done that, like I suggested, from the very beginning, you would not be suffering from Zoom fatigue.
And those of you that are not suffering from Zoom fatigue that used my example and went ahead and used the great plan that I had, you're welcome.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
A new Italian study cautions that rapists.
virus could mutate either naturally or artificially,
guess that would be man-made, into an apocalyptic disease
that turns humans into hyper-aggressive zombies.
Uh, yeah.
Hello?
Uh, maybe you haven't seen the documentary walking down.
The Walking Dead.
Because it could happen.
Okay?
Is it real life?
Or is it
the television?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Is it art?
Or is it real life?
I mean, hello.
Speaking of Walking Dead, though,
you know, the Walking Dead is back.
They're giving you an extra six episodes from season 10.
started last night so for those of you that uh uh you know enjoy we did a new talking walking
dead today if you subscribe to the podcast chewing the fat on whatever platform you enjoy using uh you
would have been alerted today that uh talking walking dead was uploaded but we have a new talking
walking dead out with uh jason buttrill myself and my son maximus and we discuss you know walking dead
Anyway, this new Italian study, they talk about this mutation of the zombie virus.
But even in the story, they talk about it's just theoretical.
It's just theoretical.
And since the rise of COVID-19, the world has got to begin to think out of the box when it comes to large-scale epidemics.
And boy, that just makes you want to spend the day thinking about that, doesn't it?
Oh, yeah.
Man, I'd rather have Zoom fatigue, man.
While rabies will not cause a severe zombie apocalypse today,
the paper argues that it would be theoretically possible
by either natural or artificial virus
to produce a viral strain of rabies
that could transmit human to human.
It is possible that the virus could be,
tweaked to incubate faster, have enhanced neurotoxicity, and a predisposition towards developing
highly aggressive behaviors.
Now, the most common method of infection occurs when an infected mammal scratches or bites
another mammal, and the virus is typically passed through saliva.
That's according to the World Health Organization.
And it happens for, you know, predominantly developing countries.
Roughly 99% of the cases are caused by infected dogs attacking humans.
In America, rabies are rare in the canine population.
Bats still remain the virus's key transmitter.
Rabies takes on two forms in humans.
Roughly 20% of the cases are paralytic and cause the body to shut down slowly.
That's it, though.
If on treated, the patient eventually,
eventually loses consciousness and dies.
The more common type of furious rabies,
which causes the patient to become hyperactive,
excitable, and at times aggressive,
the hydrophobia,
the fear of water is also a common symptom,
and aerophobia, fear of fresh air may also occur.
If left untreated,
the patient will die within days of the onset of symptoms
to cardio-restipatory.
arrest. Yay! Now they
go on to talk about, you know, can rabies cause
zombieification? Zumbification. Yes. Yes, it can. That's the answer.
Done. No, they talk about, uh, look, it's just, it's just a thought.
You know, it's just, we're trying to have a training program put together and
have a tactical plan on how the government would deal with,
the active zombie a threat.
I would say you could listen to talking walking dead.
That's a part of this program.
Or you could, you know, watch the documentary,
Walking Dead, or fear the Walking Dead.
And you may get an idea of what could happen
and how the government will deal with an active zombie threat
because we don't want outbreaks.
to catch any nation off guard.
No, no, we do not want that at all.
The study explores a few key aspects of how rabies,
which is already linked to zombieification
with increased aggression and transferred through biting.
And it could become a world-ending disease
that brings about the total destruction of the human species.
Now, how much do you want to think?
think about it. Huh? How much? That's what I thought. Like every day, every minute of every day.
Even single amino acid mutations in the proteins of rabies virus can considerably alter its biological
characteristics, increasing the pathogenesis and viral spread in humans, thus making the mutated
virus a tangible menace for the entire mankind.
Huh? Again, man, feel good about that, huh? Yeah, me too. Me too.
They mentioned in here, which is incredible, that tens of thousands of people in Asia and Africa still die because of rabies every year.
And that's incredible. I mean, we have ways, we have ways to fix you.
I mean, unbelievable.
The World Health Organization say they continue to fight the virus by providing vaccines.
Provide more.
How about that?
Spend a little bit of the cash we give you.
Spend a little bit of the cash that we're more giving you back now.
That, you know, maybe, maybe we do a little education.
And education and vaccines.
So that people aren't dying from the vaccine?
Just incredible.
But they still say, look, it's probably not going to happen.
It's just theoretical.
But it is possible.
It is possible that state and non-state actors could engineer bio weapons to kill large numbers of people.
And it would occur, you know, we don't know how it's going to occur, to be honest with you.
We just know that it probably could.
And we're going to think about it.
And you should too.
Okay, no problem.
There's nothing I want to do more.
Yes, the dogs are back.
Lady Gaga's dogs have been recovered.
Yay.
So I believe that was one or more of the French bulldogs barking there.
A lady reached out to Gaga's staff and said, hey, found your dogs.
And there you go.
She turned them in.
I guess she gets the 500,000 unless she's involved in the theft and the shooting of the dog walker.
The dog walker Ryan Fisher, who we were told was shot four times.
But all the stories now say he was only shot once.
Apparently, he was out walking the dogs.
Two men in a white sedan pulled up, jumped out.
They struggled with the dog walker before one of them.
them pulled a gun and fired a single shot before fleeing with two of the three dogs.
The other one that was escaped was reunited that same day.
Now, apparently, this dog walker is going to have a full recovery.
He had been shot in the chest, and he's expected to survive and recover.
I don't, you know, I don't know how long it takes you to revive from a gunshot wound
in the chest, well, I'm sure it's a little bit more than a couple of days.
However, you know, Gaga, you know, we made a big deal about it saying that more people
were concerned about the dogs than Ryan Fisher.
But really, Gaga was like, you know, we love the dogs, but we, you know, we love Ryan, too.
And, you know, she said that she was going to have the $500,000 reward.
And no questions asked.
So unless this lady that found him is part of the theft and the shooting, she gets the 500 grand, right?
I mean, they're keeping her name, you know, well, we don't want to release her name for her safety.
Uh-huh.
But, okay, no problem.
No problem.
I know that I saw one article where one person was saying that he thought it was possible that the dog walker was attacked.
and shot because Gaga was a big supporter of Joe Biden.
Wait, so that means that the dog walkers were, or the thieves were after the dog walker
and the dogs of Lady Gaga because they were Trump supporters?
That's a stretch, my friend.
That's a stretch.
But, you know, we do have to stretch to get to our hatred of Trump, don't we?
Yes, we do.
Yes, we do.
So this lady gets $500,000.
There's another lady that was from Texas,
and she's from Flower Mound, which is right here in DFW.
She was at the airport leaving Vegas.
I don't know how much money she lost or already won in Vegas,
but she's at the airport, McCarran International,
and she says, I think I'll play the slot machine.
And she won $302,000.
nice and of course you know they take her picture and she's all happy so i'm sure the irs will be
calling no problem but three hundred two thousand uh at a slot machine at the airport as you're leaving
that's not a bad day hope still reigns true in america doesn't it yes it does you know we
we've got nothing without hope and if you still have hope that you're going to win in
Vegas or win the lottery, your hope is still there.
I mean, I know that we just had a story of a guy that won 500,000 off the powerball with
his fortune cookie numbers.
So hope is still alive in America, as long as you have an opportunity to win from the
slot machines or the lottery.
Let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink desperately.
Oh my gosh.
I know I've probably told you this before,
but I want to be clear.
That is so good.
Yes, it is.
You know, speaking, I mentioned the IRS.
Victims of the Texas winter storms get deadline extensions for their taxes.
So the IRS says, hey, you got until June 15th.
Don't worry about it to file various individual and business tax returns and make your
tax payments.
So you can stretch it out until June 15th.
And there's other places around the country that are getting relief from the IRS
extended till June 15th instead of April 15th.
So you can always, you know, go to the, you know, disaster relief page at the IRS
and see if you've been, you know, if you're part of the, part of the group.
Right now, I think there's Oklahoma and Texas and I don't know.
There's some other hurricane.
Cane victims down in Louisiana and Mississippi that are getting extensions, which I find nice
to the IRS.
Oh, you've been part of a disaster?
Yeah.
Okay.
You know what?
You can wait to pay us.
Because that's the first thing on your mind, I bet.
I bet it is.
So don't you worry about it.
Sure.
Sure you're going to have to pay us.
But you could wait until a little bit longer because, you know, you've been through a lot.
with your disaster.
Anyway, if you're in Texas
or some other area
that has a disaster,
I would check it out
because your IRS
deadline has been extended.

JFR, Facebook, Instagram,
Parlor, I guess,
is still out there alive, Jeff Fisher
Radio. So, I don't know,
man. Parlor was so hot
and they put a knife
in the heart of Parlor, so
we'll see if Parlor, you know, the knife is out now
and they're healing, but I don't know if they're ever going to
get healed back to where they were.
Anyway.
And speaking of healing, the Cherokee Nation is healing even more now.
The longstanding dispute over who can be considered a citizen of the Cherokee Nation came to a conclusion.
The Cherokee Nation Supreme Court ruled that the tribal nation removed the phrase by blood from its constitution and other tribal laws.
That change formally acknowledges that the descendants of black people once enslaved by the
tribe known as the Cherokee freedmen have the right to tribal citizenship, which means they're
eligible to run for tribal office and access resources such as tribal health care.
So the Cherokee Nation Supreme Court is a response to a 2017 ruling by U.S. District
courts would determine that the descendants of the Cherokee freed men are entitled to full
tribal citizenship rights under a treaty, the Cherokee Nation.
made with the U.S. in 1866.
So once again, we, the United States wants the Cherokee Nation to be under the treaty and follow
the treaty rules, even though we may not have followed those treaty rules.
Anyway, Cherokee Nation Supreme Court Justice wrote that they extend to descendants of
the freedmen as a birthright springing from their ancestors.
oppression and displacement as people of color recorded and memorialized.
You know, so good for them, right?
I mean, that's great.
You know, they were, many Native Americans were enslaved alongside African Americans
during the colonial period.
So now the wealthier tribal citizens, especially in the Southeast,
had adopted, you know, slavery themselves.
And so, you know, now these people,
that are freed men can become Cherries.
That, I hope, opens up the door.
Maybe, you know, maybe I can, you know,
figure out a way to get my son in there.
Because I know we've been working on that for,
I don't want to get into that story.
Just know there's Indian blood in my son's,
my oldest son's blood.
And we, we know there's a right amount according to the roles.
but we can't prove where his great-great-grandmother was born.
I think it's his great-great-grandmother because he's a 16th.
So that means his mother is an eighth, his grandma is a quarter,
his great-grandma is a half, and his great-great-grandma is full-blooded.
So anyway, if it doesn't take Indian blood, then...
I might be in.
Nice.
All right.
I like to hear that.
We have so much to get to today.
I've got, I mean, we have the Golden Globes.
You even know the Golden Globes was on last night?
Well, I mean, I did, but I recorded it just in case something, you know, happened that was worthy.
And there was a few things that we should probably talk about.
And, you know, I'll let you know who won.
But mostly it was agonizing.
We'll get to a little bit of that.
We got a lot of crime.
I mean, I love crime stories.
I could do a whole, you know, every day on crime.
So let's knock out some crime before we get to the globes.
So federal investigators say now that they have pinpointed a suspect in Officer Sicknick's death on January 6th, where the insurrection at the Capitol.
So apparently they have a suspect in Officer Sicknick's death on January 6th, where the insurrection at the Capitol.
So apparently, apparently,
they have a suspect seen on video appearing to spray a chemical substance on the officer before he later collapsed and died.
And that apparently is the new theory that has been making the rounds that he was sprayed by a chemical irritant that, you know, directly tied to his death.
However, that hasn't been proven yet.
in fact they haven't proven anything and they don't even know who the suspect is they just know that
there is a person spraying something that they believe is an irritant remember initially they
believed that he was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher which uh was not true and so uh
they don't know what actually killed them or they do and they haven't reported it so they're
still considering it uh in the
the line of duty death and uh you know the investigation into his death is still going on but
prosecutors have been evaluating what specific charges could be brought in the case if any um
we'll see we'll see i mean they look they've they've got videos and photos and they still don't know
and yet he was uh you know laden state and was the face and body of this
disarmed insurrection and yet we still don't have any real proof on what killed the man.
It's very sad that he's dead and the family wants to know too.
The family believes it was a stroke.
But we still don't know.
I mean, there was an autopsy.
We don't have the results of that.
Not having the results of that makes one wonder what actually caused his death, doesn't it?
Jilline Maxwell, still in jail.
There are several people now, including a judge by the name of Rosemary Pooler,
who serves on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York.
She believes that she should be let out.
She believes that Jeline is being treated unfairly,
and I would tend to agree.
I mean, she believes that, you know,
she's talking about prolonged,
solitary confinement is one of the true horrors of the modern-day penal system.
And she describes a prison in Italy designed for members of the mafia convicted of murder or tampering with witnesses is much better than how they're treating Jelaine Maxwell.
And, you know, the mafia trial in Italy actually is still going on, the big one.
And so that trial is still going to have some great stuff come on.
I can't wait for more of that trial to go on.
But she goes on to talk about the American system as presumed,
innocent.
What country is this judge living in?
Would you think someone is presumed innocent before they go before a court?
Oh, man.
That is rich.
That is rich.
So she is in this, you know, the federal metropolitan detention center in Brooklyn.
She's been there.
she's been there, she's under 24-hour surveillance by guards and 18 cameras.
There is, you know, and the reason that she's under such focus is because of Jeffrey Epstein,
who, you know, she is saddled with being about, was, you know, killed himself, and they
were negligent in letting him kill himself.
so now they're worried about her.
Well, let her out.
She's been denied bond.
She's been placed in solitary confinement.
And she's really been found guilty of nothing.
I mean, really, she's been found guilty of nothing.
She hasn't, some of her accusers have never been cross-examined under oath.
It's incredible that we're keeping her in jail this long without at least being out on bail.
And she's been found guilty of a.
Nothing. She filed for her third application for bail, and she says she's going to renounce her citizenship in other countries.
She's going to have the court monitor finances and have home detention.
She just wants to be out of jail.
And any other person would be let out.
I mean, we're letting other people out of jail.
We're letting murderers out of jail because of the coronavirus.
and yet her continued detention is still ongoing.
And it's like we don't care.
Yeah, you are, you're tied in with Jeffrey Epstein and we hate him so you get to remain in jail.
Okay?
Okay, then.
That's the way it goes.
So maybe she'll, this third attempt will get her out if she gives up everything but being in jail is really what it's come down to.
You can, and she still, they still may not let her out.
but she's given up
she claims that she'll give up everything
you know obviously what I just told you
and you know just to get out of jail
and I necessarily don't blame her
and did you see where
Peter Gotti just died
you know
he was you know
ahead of the Gambino crime boss
he was 81
he was the brother
of
John Gotti
and he was not as good a boss as John, that's for sure.
He was spending 25 years in jail for federal racketeering conviction in North Carolina.
And, you know, he's obviously, you know, I mean, he's a crime boss, so he got there for some reason.
But he ran the Gambino crime family kind of into the ground.
uh john had that thing working like a well-oiled machine and uh then you know when he went to prison and died
then peter took over and he things weren't so good anyway he just died in prison and i see where
they're trying to get el chapo's wife to go witness protection and exchange for all the secrets that she
knows because there was a big article talking about el chapo's wife will be offered a new life with
their daughters under witness protection in exchange for spilling secrets about Mexico's
murderous,
soanola drug cartel.
Why would they release that?
Why would they say that?
Because they want her to, right?
They want El Chapo and the rest of the people who are, you know, equal to or
underneath Emma, that, uh, to believe that she's,
going to do that so that now even though she doesn't she can't go anywhere and do anything because
they'll be concerned that she's going to you know she ratted them out all right so she's got
twin daughters that are nine years old and apparently now she's facing up to 40 years in prison
over her drug conspiracy charges she may take it i don't know she may take it i mean
now Joaquin el Chapo Guzman is still you know in supermax but uh you know we'll see how long he
he wallows in supermax before he escapes because i mean it's not like he hasn't ever
escaped prison before and i mean she knows where she knows where everything is she knows it all man
so good luck god bless good luck god bless
And one more crime boss story, Governor Cuomo of New York,
had the second accusation of sexual harassment or sexual misconduct thrown at him over the weekend.
And I think now another one has come out.
I mean, there, do I hear three?
Do I hear four?
Do I hear number five, step up?
Let us know what he did.
Do you?
The guy is such a, for the lack of a better term,
douchebag that he deserves everything he gets so you know some of the stuff may be a tad under
the sexual harassment world but for him no it's not he's just a bad guy and he bullies and treats
people bad to get his own way and he's done it forever and so they're coming out of the
woodwork now so good good couldn't happen to a nicer guy
You know, we talked last week about the artwork by the digital artwork by artist Beeple
that was going to auction off at Christie's at some unknown location.
And Reuters got a copy of the handout.
And it was going to be sold as a new type of digital asset, the NFT,
which was the non-fundable token that has, you know,
the popularity of it has grown throughout the pandemic and uh the we were we were wondering how much
the uh first 5,000 days collage would sell for um 6.6 million dollars.
I know.
I know.
I know.
So good for Michael Winkleman or
Beeple to get his original artwork with the digital signature to certify who owns it through the non-fungible token, the NFT, $6.6 million.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
So the Golden Globes were last night, and I did not catch him.
I had the Walking Dead to watch, and I just couldn't bring myself to watch it.
I know it was all socially distance.
What's her face, and what's her face were the co-hosts,
and one was on the West Coast, and one was on the East Coast,
and I'm sure that it was hilarious.
I'm sure it was.
There's no doubt in my mind that Tina Faye and Amy Hullerker just made it hilarious.
no doubt in my mind.
But I did, well, and there were some winners,
and a couple of the winners were agonizing.
And, you know, I'll go over some of them.
But one of the big things was I missed the first commercial
from Parenthood brand Freedom Mom,
which was going to air.
And since I didn't hear about it,
I'm guessing it aired.
It was supposed to.
It was advertised to,
to be airing during the Golden Globes.
It was going to be, you know,
they were lifting the veil.
According to them,
they were lifting the veil
on the challenges new moms
and their breasts face.
And so they,
from massaging out,
clogged ducks with an electric toothbrush
to slowing the flow with cabbage leaves.
And so they were going to actually show,
show breasts and lactating breasts and moms feeding their babies.
And while I have no problem with that, I mean, I really don't.
So we're now showing women's nipples on television commercials.
So it wasn't that long ago where we had to bow down to the FCC because a nipple was shown
on national television and radio paid the price because a nipple was shown inadvertently on the
Super Bowl and no one really saw it. I mean, I've talked about it before, but I can, I honestly,
I remember, I was talking to my wife on the phone and I was watching the Super Bowl. It was
half time and I was saying, you know, that they were on. The show was on. And it happened. And I,
And I thought, did Janice Jackson just, did Janet Jack, not Janice?
I mean, I call her Janice.
We're friends.
Most people call her Janet.
Did Janet Jackson just show her nipple?
And then it was gone.
And, you know, I mean, obviously I, I rewound.
Hello.
But, I mean, that's how bad it was.
It was only that split second of a nipple.
And then that's it.
So now, now we're at.
a place where I don't moms can breastfeed wherever they want whenever they want I mean that baby
needs to eat and it's I'm happy that there's mothers that are loving their children enough to feed
them the breast milk that will help them grow and become stronger human beings that's great
but we're at a place now where we can show that on television and not just show the baby being
breastfed, but show the breast prior to the baby being fed with the nipples unscensored.
We're there.
We're there now.
But I can remember going through weeks of new training of what bucket I needed to put things in.
And all of you people that were in radio at the time will know exactly what I'm talking about
when you had to put things in buckets.
and it's just agonizing to me, but, you know, good.
I'm glad that we're celebrating the free spirit of lactating moms
and what they have to go through.
Good, good, good, good.
Right?
Right.
All right, the Golden Globe winners and losers, really.
But the winners, and this is where, why I think the Golden Globes is just, you know, agonizing.
So the best picture, musical,
or comedy and the best performance by an actor in a motion picture musical or comedy both well the best picture went to barat uh subsequent movie film and the best performance went to sasha baron coit as barat subsequent movie film and it's just not funny how how people what are they i mean it's just agonizing that that would that those would win
like that. Ascha Baron Cohen, the guy is not funny and he's creating this stuff that just is agonizing to me.
But of course, we all love him because did you see that time? And he even talked about it in his winning.
I saw some of the headlines of what the winners said in their speeches. And he talked about finding this great joy of a comedy actress.
That, you know, had, uh, had, uh, what's his face?
Giuliani
Unzip his pants
When you watch that
I mean it's just agonizing
Nothing happened
It just drives me crazy

Roseman Pike with I Care, a lot.
She was in the news because she was mad at a promotional company.
I think it was for this show, too.
I think it was for I care a lot that made, gave her breast a little upkeep in the photo.
And she was pissed that they gave her breast a little upkeep to make them look what,
she didn't say, they made it look better.
But she was mad, made them change it.
Take down the poster.
Good for her.
She got her, you know, how dare you?
How dare you make a picture, make me try to look better with bigger, perkier breasts?
How dare you?
I'm an actress.
Whatever.
And there were some other stuff that happened.
I know that Mark Ruffalo, Mark Ruffalo, he won Best Performance by an Actor for a limited series,
anthology series, or motion picture made for television for, I know this much.
is true. Congratulations, Mark. Boy, there's another guy that's just a winning character. But
he, in his acceptance speech from his hotel room or wherever he was accepting because they were
all on location and other places to be socially distanced during this pandemic, he said that
Americans must come to balance and honor a dying Mother Earth and turn the page on the
cruel past.
Thanks, Mark.
We really appreciate it.
After 54 years, it's my humble belief.
What would give us all
this sadness and loss that we've all lived through,
meaning is our common humanity.
Ugh.
He is agonizing.
Anyway, you know, he's worried about dying Mother Earth,
and she's Mother Earth, and we must, you know,
honor her and heal her, too.
So let's be correct.
He said inclusion and justice and care from Mother Earth is breaking out everywhere.
And he's calling it a hideous dark storm.
You're a hideous dark storm, Mark.
That's, uh, ah, I just want to scream at this guy.
And have you seen the winner of the Best Motion Picture drama Nomad Land?
I started watching it this weekend, as a matter of fact.
it's up on Hulu and I got about halfway through and it looks like it's going to be way too sad for me to watch.
I mean, I'll finish it, of course.
It's with Francis McDormand, right?
Yeah.
And she loses her family and her job.
This town closes down in Nevada and she lives out of a van.
And she, you know, is working part, she works part time.
Where I'm at is she had just.
finished up her seasonal work at Amazon and that's where we're at.
So it just looks like it's going to be too sad.
But I hope it does.
I hope it isn't.
I hope it works out to be really happy.
I don't want to know.
I don't want to know until I watch it because I feel like this van-dwelling journey is just
going to end up with her dying in her van stuck on the side of a road at some wannabe campground
that wouldn't let her in because she didn't have any money or something.
I just feel like that's going to happen.
I don't feel like she's going to, you know, hit the lotto and buy the, you know, the million-dollar
bus to finish her travels around the planet because she wouldn't have been traveling had she
had a gig to begin with.
Anyway, it's Nomad Land and I'm looking forward to finishing that sometime soon.
