Well, we just have news that Ford will allow 30,000 employees who have been working from home to keep working from home after the pandemic winds down. That is so nice of them. Oh, did I mention that the United Auto Workers Union has just informed workers that

the same Ford plans to move a major project worth $900 million from Ohio to its plant in Mexico. I guess that means that more employees will be working from home. Welcome to chewing the fat. So after a disruptive year, according to the IRS, they are delaying the U.S. tax deadline to May 17th. Now, don't forget, they delayed the tax deadline into June for those who were affected by the winter storm and the hurricane. So some of the areas you have until June. Remember that? We talked a little bit about that a while back.

So everyone, though, has at least until May 17th to do your taxes to the IRS. That is so nice of them. I mean that. That is nice of them. No matter what's going on in your life, you make sure, you make sure to get that taken care of. And I appreciate them realizing that there's been such a disruption to our lives the last couple of years. and while they delayed the due date last year, they again delayed the due date this year.

That's very, very special. Did you know that there is a thing called, well, plastic surgeons are calling it Zoom, boom. Yes, I know. People are so sick of seeing themselves on Zoom and saying, oh, that doesn't look right. I need to flatten that up and tighten that up tighten this up and man i wish my lips looked like this so uh the plastic surgeons or at least one plastic

surgeon dr michael riley practicing physician and georgetown university professor of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery said it's a strange driver for surgery right now people are their own worst critics he's seen about a 30 percent increase in cosmetic procedures since the pandemic began. He claims that even, you know, as most people continue to avoid hospitals and doctors' offices, once elective surgeries were put back on the board, following the first months of the pandemic, the industry started booming and has gotten significantly busier in the last nine months. Botox is big right now, facelifts, especially because people are spending so much time

looking at themselves on camera. And it makes it easier. for them to hide the scars or the, you know, recovery scars behind their masks that we all have to wear. Nice. And that's what he coined the term, Zoom Boom. Other studies have talked about how the lasting impacts of this era have found shifting structures in our social interaction, you know, empathy, self-perception. And, you know, we're all wearing our masks and social distancing, which, apparently provides us some kind of safety.

But, you know, there's professionals that are saying, you know, that comes as a cost to our conversational closeness. A one psychologist, Dr. Paul Ekman, who pioneered the study of emotions and facial expressions, said the global health crisis has made us conform to a new normal for the time being. And that time being is going to last a lot longer than the pandemic. We're seeing dramatic differences. and how we interact body language.

Typically, when you're face to face, you can exchange up to, according to them, 10,000 nonverbal cues in less than a minute. With half our faces covered, we only rely on a few of those. I guess, you know, a lot less than the 10,000 nonverbal cues. I'm sure we're still getting the 10,000 nonverbal cues. They're just different, right?

And they're different with our body language and how we project ourselves to others. On top of which, when we're staring at the Zoom, we're seeing full faces, but in real life, we're seeing masked faces. It's just incredible. Apparently, there's a study where they had a thousand participants of different ethnicities, genders, and ages. I think we talked about this, where they were right, how friendly each face came across,

and they gave them a face with a mask and the same face without a mask. and that really changed the way we looked at people and reduced some of the biases we have. Oh, really? So that's a strange way to look at it, but I guess, you know, if that's what the little study showed, that's what the study showed. But they also talked about how, you know,

we're spending all this time on, well, they always mentioned Zoom, because he called it the Zoom Boom, but any of the, you know, social media apps that are, you know, producing video where we talk to other people over our screens, whether it's, you know, laptop or, you know, tablet or phone.

And we end up, you know, staring at ourselves full face. But we also have people, other people that we're talking to full face, but we're not getting that human interaction, which is, you know, up close interaction, which is really good. going to hurt us in the long run. Now, there's plenty of people that don't believe in wearing a mask. I get it. And, you know, it's up to, you know, you to decide whether you want to wear a mask or not wear a mask. I believe that wholeheartedly. It is up to you. But, you know, look, there's still

plenty of private businesses that make you wear a mask and tell you, you know, you can't do business with me unless you wear a mask. There's plenty of businesses that say, you know, you're not. There's plenty of businesses that say it's up to you. You can shop here with a mask or shop here without a mask. Oh, thank you. That's really the business that I want to do business with, one that isn't ramming something down your throat. But, you know, I digress. So I love the, there's a story about a Denton, Texas, a restaurant owner that has a sign on his front door now that talks about our new surcharge, $50 if I have to explain. masks are mandatory.

75 if I have to hear why you disagree. What's kind of silly about that, and I get it. And, you know, he said he hasn't charged anyone that. He thought he was going to have to charge some lady and her friend the other day, but he didn't. But, you know, you have to wear the mask to the table, and then you can take it off to eat. And he was saying that people end up coming up to pay the bill without the mask.

because they've gotten so comfortable sitting at the table without the mask, but that's not the way the rules are supposed to be. When you get up and move and move around, you're supposed to have a mask on. Yeah, that's what the science says, right? So, anyway, I just, I find it amazing that we're still having this, we're still having this fight. And I know we're, and we get such conflicting messages. we get the message that masks are not mandatory. It's up to private business and you can wear the mask. We get messages that they work.

We get messages that they don't work or that they work and they really don't do a whole lot. So the point is, well, I mean, if they do a little, then that's fine. And we still say we thought that the vaccines would end that. Nope. No, you still have to wear a mask. That's the deal. Now that will probably change when they come up with some sort of way to prove that you've had the vaccine, right?

I mean, that's what's happening in other countries around the world and businesses. But I see where, you know, earlier this week, I think, where there was a report that said, even if you go to the gym, you should wear a face mask in the shower. Uh, no. Uh, no. I, uh, I don't know if you've seen a mask get wet, but, uh, they don't work after that. It's not a, it's just a wet piece of paper on your face then. It doesn't, it's just incredible.

to me. It is just absolutely amazing. And I know the one story, I heard the story today about the restaurant owner in Michigan who's fighting the law and stayed open and she's now they're fined her and they've taken her and they've taken her license away and she's saying that it sounds constitutional. They can't, first of all, they're not, they can't even make me have a license, but I'm still staying open. And in the story, it talks about one person. She's been open. She's been open for months now, months. and does not have a mask mandate in her restaurant. Okay, she's been open for months. There's one story where maybe a person who ate at her restaurant left and then had COVID-19.

So may have been spreading the COVID-19 when they were eating at the restaurant. But we don't know for sure. One person, that's a pretty good. good rate, I would say. And I was, I mean, a year ago, I would have believed that that, if we were at that point, we'd be back to, you know, normal. But not in today's world. Not in today's world.

Remember also happening, well, in today's world and, you know, every other world, there's scams going on. We talk about scams all the time. And when I try to look at things, figuring out how. how people could get scammed with all kinds of things that are going on in the world. Now, the stimulus checks are hitting people's bank accounts and hitting people's mailboxes, and they're worried that scammers are going to try to take your money. Uh, yeah, no problem.

There's a big long list that they've released of, you know, fake checks. Don't, don't let your excitement let you, you know, realize that there's fake checks, social media messages, fake social security number requests, small business administration loan scams, processing fees, cash advances. Just you need to remember. And it's difficult sometimes. Don't reply directly. Don't respond to unknown calls, texts, or emails.

If you think the message may be real, then maybe you do a little background check, see if it's actually a rightful website, a rightful phone number. and look for lookalikes. You know, there might be, you know, a dot and an extra word in there that looks like the same web address. And don't pay any money for a free government grant, I mean, or program. I know that there is, what's his face? The question mark suit guy, Matthew Lesko. He has, you know, he's made his life getting, letting people know how to get money from the government.

So, you know, I think you have to buy his books and he goes down a list of how you can get grants and study money and free money from the government. That's how he's made his living. So I don't think that that's necessarily a scam. And if you think that you can use his plan and get money from the government, go for it. Because they, you know, look, if you believe that you shouldn't be getting government money anyway, then don't do it. But there's plenty of people. Elon Musk and other corporations, many of them, Amazon, getting government grants and study money all the time

because the government is not shutting off the printing machine. The printing machine is on fire. You can't even touch that thing now. I mean, it is on fire, man. They haven't shut that thing off in a long time. And it doesn't appear that they're planning on shutting it off anytime soon. Anyway, just You know, beware of the scams.

It happens. I mean, I talk about them all the time. I get emails and I get a text from something and I'm like, that can't be real. It just can't be. You just know it can't be. But it sounds so good you want it to be. You really do.

I get the emails from Reem all the time. I've got to go through the emails of Ream because Ream has changed a few things in these emails that she sends me. But it's always the same. of money, the 47 million or whatever. And I mean, I joke around about replying to Ream and setting up a part of the deal because she's willing to give me a percentage of setting up a separate account where she can, you know, put in this money.

But, you know, I know that it's not real. No matter how much I want it to be, it's not real. The last email I got from Ream, just a couple of days ago. is under a new heading Reem Space capital E period capital A No period

And then but the actual email is customer care at Econet Dot CO dot ZW Now this one is A dear friend and it talks about My name is Miz Ream Ibrahim El Hashimi

And it claims she's the minister of state For international cooperation in UAE And she's right writing to me on behalf of my other two colleagues, who has authorized me to solicit for your partnership in claiming $47 million from a financial home on their behalf and for our mutual benefits. And in this email, she's going to give me 15% of the total amount involved

as gratification for being their partner in this transaction. And they give me an email address to reply. to okay then the email prior to this one and this was under the heading very important okay the next was business request the one before this a couple weeks before that one was under the heading business request and the email was from Ms. ms. period space ream-e-ebraham with the email address at um i c h i.m. apaya slash net.com and this is from uh reem ibrahim el hashimi now the same thing has said that she's still part of the same stuff and it's still 47 million uh and this one is from a financial home in turkey

on their behalf what was the first one from a financial home uh partnership claiming from a financial home not from turkey now the 47 million on this first email was an oil and gas deal with Turkish government within 2013, 2014. And because of the nature of the deal, we don't want our government to know about the fund. That is why we decided to contact you, which I thought was really, really nice. This one is, as I remember for our mutual benefits

from a financial home in Turkey. And it is a deal with the oil and gas deal, Turkey and Greece government, 2015 to 2017, still the same amount of money though 47 million and and they're going to they're going to compensate me 20% okay so the last the time the last one was only 15%. The time before that was 20%. Again, with a different email to reply to. So I mean, it's just an example of I want that to be true. So bad. I could use even 50. 15% of $47 million. I don't even want to do the math. We've done it before on the show,

but 20% sounds better than 15% of the 47 million. And, you know, all I have to do is help them set up a separate account here in the U.S. to get it over here, and then I get my cut, and then, you know, I give them the rest as part of the deal. I'm all for it. Let me send you all my information so you can know exactly who I am and take anything that I have. I don't have much, but they will take anything I have or you have.

And it's incredible to me that the emails do not stop. This is the old, you know, crown prince from Africa email scam. And apparently it must work because they keep coming through, man. They keep sending them. This was, you know, I think the last one was a few days ago. And then it was, I think, 10 days prior to that. So they're on a schedule. And they just change it up a little bit.

So anyway, the scams are out there. So if it, you know, the old, I know the old adage, you know, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. And I would guess that probably 90% will go with 90. I'll give you a 10% if it sounds good. It's, you know, you get 90% of it's not good. 10% it's good. And that's probably, that's probably too much.

That's probably too much. It's probably 99.9% if it sounds. too good to be true, it's not. And you only get a 0.1% of the time that it's true. But there's still that chance. All right, let's go to the break room. There's a chance I'm going to need something cold to drink right now, and that chance is 100%.

Hey, for those of you listening live, on the 18th of March 2021. one. A big Justice League Snyder Cut release today on HBO Max. You got Wonder Woman, Batman, they're all there.

And click the little notification bell so you know when the new videos post and there's new videos often. Did you see the hotel, well, it's a video of polar bears on display at a hotel in China? It's the polar bear hotel. It opened in Harbin, China, and who doesn't, I mean, want to go to Harbin China. It's beautiful this time of year.

The polar bears belong in the Arctic, not in the zoos or glass boxes and aquariums, says my personal friends who, I love PETA. And, of course, well, this is people of ethical treatment of animals, Asia. Their senior vice president, Jason Baker, a little wound up. But look, it's part. The video is awesome.

And the bears certainly don't look like they're starving. They're in an enclosure. They've got water to swim in. They are fine. The hotel is part of, this Harbon-Polarland theme park. There's not a lot of rooms in. It's like a 21-room hotel.

It hosts a famous arf carving, ice-carving festival, and it's shaped like an igloo. It's in the northeastern-most-chinese province. Hey, Long-Ging. It's in the north-eastern-most Chinese province, to be exact. Hey, Long-Jing. Yeah, and it's beautiful this time of year. Now, you can stay there.

for $290.10. And you can upgrade to $351.356 a night. And according to their spokesperson, interest in the hotel is very high. So, you know. And to think that they are, you know, the hotel is making money from animals' miseries. Are they?

Are they? I don't think so. their misery is not misery. They are living a good life. Now, according to the hotel, they say that they can, you know, you have 24-hour viewing access to the bears. So whether you're eating, playing, or sleeping, polar bears will keep you company. That's nice.

Right? That's a good deal. Now, the hotel says, hey, we're taking care of them. And I, you know what? I believe them. They're in China. There's no reason to doubt that someplace in China would lie to you about how they're taking care of animals because we know from past experiences that China is great on animal rights. So according to the hotel also, they have the indoor enclosure. It's only a part of their habitat. They also have an outdoor area

that they're allowed to access, you know, when the temperature and air quality are appropriate. They did not look unhappy. Now, I know that it's probably one of their promo videos or was a, you know, a PETA person taking a picture of it.

But the video made them look at it. They looked okay. They're fat. They're healthy. they're wandering around, they're swimming. What more do you want? Out in the wild? Oh, that's what you want?

Oh, okay. Well, you're not getting it this time. I'll tell you that. As long as we're talking about animals, I see where, you know, a new survey from Value Penguin, who I love surveys from Value Penguin, 80% of pet owners

say they would pay more money to secure a cabin seat for their pet versus the cargo hold. Only a one in five respondents said they would be willing to shell out more than $300 to get their pet on a plane, while nearly two

and five said they'd be willing to spend more than $100. 22% said they'd spend less than $100 to ensure their pet at a spot on a plane. Okay, here's the deal. And this is, you know, you've got your little dogs. That's why the people carrying their little dogs and cats are saying, well, they don't need a whole seat.

They could just sit on my lap. I'll spend extra for a little Buffy. to sit on my lap during a flight. You know what? No. No. Now, maybe if the airlines want to, you know, have a separate flight for animal holders and carriers, maybe you just have a plane that flies humans and animals together. But when you have some, most people flying without animals and a couple with animals,

no. I say no. Unless, now here's another out. It's just me thinking out loud. You know, they come on the plane and they give everybody on the plane an extra 20 bucks. Hey, I got to sit with my dog. Sorry, here's an extra 20. There you go.

Or I buy everybody on the plane a drink. Oh, wait, they don't sell drinks anymore during the virus? Oh, okay. Well, then never mind. How about cash money? Then bring your stupid Buffy on the plane with you for cash money. And I don't even know if 20 bucks a head would do it. Now, that's going to be a little.

little bit more, I'm guessing, than $300. But if it's not that, the answer is no. Buffy is in cargo or back home. Pretty simple. If you want Buffy to come with you, drive. I know, a crazy thought. I know. There's a thing that we've invented.

Called, called. Oh, yeah, an automobile. And you can go anywhere in this country you want. And you can bring Buffy with you. So how about that? There you go. You're welcome. You know, we always talk about how police have a tough job, and they really do.

And I, you know, back the blue and they have a tough job. And I do appreciate the job they do. I mean that. I mean that. I'm all about the police. I get it. I respect them. I want that.

You know, nobody likes to get a ticket. Nobody likes to deal with them because their job is so tough because, you know, most of the time they're dealing with people in a situation that those people don't want to be in, right? And so you hope that, and for the most part, police officers are really, you know, good people. I know that there's the bad ones and we can talk about them and we do. But, you know, there are overall good. But when you're a police officer, when you're responsible, responding to things. Sometimes you never know what you're going to find. So in Oldsmar, Florida, I've spent a lot of time in Oldsmar, Florida.

That's part of Tampa Bay. The police were called to a townhouse where they found this man, 47 years old, on his back, in front of his townhouse, with his pants off. He had one hand on one thing and another hand holding a pickle. So I guess this guy was in a pickle? No, reverse that. Because the officer said he was using the pickle while he was doing something else with the other hand. So both hands were busy.

Doing... My point is, is that you never know what to expect as a policeman when you're called to someone's townhouse or home. It's just a, uh, what makes the job so tough? In fact, in fact, it makes, it puts the police officer in a pickle. Speaking of being in a pickle, is Sharon Osborne, is she gone yet? Is she off the talk?

I mean, I know you don't really care. I don't either. Well, I mean, I, I care because I like the story. It's funny. but for sure the show is in hiatus until next Tuesday, next week. That's what they said. And so she hasn't resigned. She hasn't been fired. It's just in hiatus. And I'm sure we're doing some soul searching and some racist soul searching.

Although Sharon called all the claims crap, all crap in an interview to Daily Mail, saying that everyone's got an opinion or a story like the Wantan story. It's like F off with your F and Wantan story. F off. And she said, of course it's a pile on. People want to add fuel to the fire when it comes with the territory. And that's fine. Is it Sharon?

Is it fine? But, you know, I told you yesterday. She's gone. I do not foresee her. surviving any of this on the talk. I loved also, I mean, this Harry and Megan thing, man, is, it's ongoing. I mean, some would say it's good for them, but it really isn't. The more of this sticks around, I think the closer they come to fallen, or at least, you know, the opinions of them,

they just need to be quiet. I know that Charlie Hebdo, the magazine in France, was taking big heat because of their one cover. They got a cover of poor Megan with the queen on her neck like George Floyd.

It is really funny. But, I mean, it's not funny at all. And it's horrible. Horrible. I mean, that's what they're famous for. Stop it. It's Charlie Hebdo. Right?

I mean, don't forget. They took fire. They had staffers murdered and staffers wounded from the brothers that burst into the newsroom and shot them up because of the prophet

Mohammed cartoon right? I mean, France was in trouble in 2015 and more people died around the Charlie Hebdo shootings as well but most of them

were the Charlie Hebdo shootings and just anyway and they, you know, they're under fire for the queen on top of Megan they're near the name. funny, funny. That's what they're supposed to do, right?

And one of the, again, a story that won't go away, Megan and Harry. We had the fan who started to GoFundMe page for Harry and Megan, and because she felt sorry for him, or at least, you know, Hanson's online profile. I don't know if it's a she. I'm just, I guess it could be someone in love with both of them. Okay.

But they started a GoFundMe, for Harry and Megan and said on the GoFund me I'm Annetasia Hanson so it could be a guy or a girl I don't know from Ventura, California and I'm raising funds to pay off the mortgage of the Montecito California home

of Harry and Megan were two million supporters to donate just $5 each the goal is met and the loan can be paid off after the interview I was moved with compassion to help get their home paid off as they are now financially independent this will help them and be a loving gift well uh the campaign uh shut down now they they did raise one hundred and

five dollars uh anastasia kicked in five to get the go fund me started somebody else kicked in a hundred and that was it i'm pretty sure after the netflix deal and the spotify deal that they'll be okay in their $14.65 million home, dubbed Chateau of a Rivenrock, in their nine-bedroom, 16-bathroom home, 18,000 square feet. Pretty sure they're going to be okay. You know, could I be wrong?

Sure. You know, but it's got the staircase in the elevator and the living and dining rooms, gourmet kitchen, Butler's Pantry, Breakfast Room, Family Room, Library, Billiards Room, Wet Bar, Home Theater, Jim, Wine Cellar, Spa with a Massage Room. I'm pretty sure, you know, they'll be okay in the bedroom with the fireplace and the chandelier and the woodbeams, French doors, balconies, bathrooms, fireplaces, chandeliers, marble bathtub, large vanity, plus another sitting room. I'm guessing they'll be okay. And we saw the backyard with the chicken coop, the Archie's chick in coop, during the interview. So cute.

So, so darn cute. I just, I just love them both so much. I just love them both. Although I will say that I do appreciate Pierce Morgan's wife has a nickname for Megan. And she calls her, me gain. I mean, there's a good argument for that. That's for sure. Strange story.

of Washington, D.C. So a man was arrested for gun and ammunition offenses near the official vice president's residence on the grounds of the Naval Observatory. Now, according to Metro Police, 31-year-old Paul Murray of San Antonio, Texas, was detained by Secret Service and arrested. He had a rifle and ammunition that was in the car. He wasn't carrying it around. with him, it was in the vehicle.

Now, Kamala Harris, I'm sorry, Vice President Harris, has not even living there. She couldn't even stand to live in the same house that Mike Pence was in without remodeling it first. I mean, you can well understand her displeasure.

She's over at Blair House. So according to sources, the suspect's mom calls Capitol Police after he made statements that concerned her, though they weren't connected to the vice president or the president. Oh, that's always good.

So the guy's just a little wacko, right? So he was spotted on surveillance cameras near the Naval Observatory. I wonder if those are the same cameras that Mike Pence had put in. Maybe, come all I need to change those out. Secret Service approach to suspect. He said he needed help. Wondered if President Biden could help him. Okay.

I mean, maybe you go to the White House. What do you think? Maybe you write a letter. But he didn't have any weapons on him. he took the police to his car and the rifle and ammunition were found in the car. And he didn't make any threats to anybody. So I don't know if they arrested him and let him go. They told him to take a hike.

You know, get out of here. What are you doing? You can't be here. I don't know. I don't know. But it's just a strange, strange story. I mean, the guy does sound like he is struggling with some kind of, you know, mental issues. I mean, if you're a 31-year-old guy,

And your mom is calling the Secret Service, or at least calling the Metropolitan Police Department. Your mom is calling the police department on you from Texas. I guess she's from Texas. I don't know. They made a point of saying he's from Texas. So, you know, it's always anything that kind of shines a darker light on Texas is important in all these stories.

That's for sure. Did you see where the John Kerry thing with the mask and the mask, the alleged mask violation on American Airlines? Okay, first, is John Kerry flying American Airlines? I don't know that I buy it. I don't know that I buy it. And the picture they have doesn't look like John Kerry. I'm sorry, it just doesn't look like John Kerry.

I've seen John Kerry a thousand times. I dislike the man a lot. But I know what he looks like. I know the work he's had done. I know the clothes he wears. I don't know. Don't judge me. And I just, the picture doesn't look like him. Okay?

So, why would he respond? Well, he risk because the tweet said, Hey, John Kerry took off his mask as he settled into a book in his first class seat just before takeoff today on Ad American Air Flight, Boston to D.C. He was not eating nor drinking. He was simply flaunting by. mandatory mask policy. All right.

So if it's a, I originally saw the picture and I went, that's just a John Kerry lookalike, a guy that kind of looks like him. And it's a funny tweet, right? They're going to beat him up. So then he responds. And he tweets under the at climate envoy Twitter account

with special presidential envoy, John Kerry, you know, verified, feels like there's some St. Patrick's Day malarkey afoot. on Twitter. Let's be clear. If I dropped my mask to one ear on the flight, it was momentary.

I wear my mask because it saves lives and stops the spread. It's what the science tells us to do. Is it, John? Is it? But let me say this. If this picture is John Kerry, reading his book

on American Airlines Flight, there's no mask hanging to the side. It's not hanging underneath. You know how they pull it underneath the chin if you're wearing it and you want to breathe and take a drink, you pull it down below your chin. So there's so many pictures now with people, you know, that don't want their full face covered up in a picture,

but they pull the mask down and then they can pull it back up. Or you see it hanging off their ear to one side, getting ready to put on the other side. There's none of that in that picture. So, dear John, if that's you, stop lying. You just don't want to wear the mask. I don't blame you.

It's okay. It's okay. You can all, it doesn't matter. But it does matter on the airlines because it's their policy and they have zero tolerance. And they say they're investigating, okay? They say they're investigating. If they find out something wrong, then something bad could happen. And I don't believe John Kerry's flying American Airlines.

But I guess since he responded about the malarkey afoot, maybe he does, maybe he does hop on first class to fly from Boston and D.C. I don't know. It doesn't, I mean, has John Kerry fallen? I mean, we talked about President Trump being, they're trying to say that he's fallen by flying in his, you know, they're calling it the, you know, the rented jet, which actually he owns and it's just a smaller jet faster lands at smaller airports. You know, the whole thing. We talked about yesterday. But has John Kerry the special, what's his full title here that he tweeted on? The special presidential envoy, John Kerry at Climate.

Envoy. How many followers does he have on that stupid account? Has he fallen that far that he's flying commercial? No. I don't know. That's sad, if it is. That is sad. And when you look at the picture, I just went to the Twitter account, which has 125.6,000 followers and seven following. Who's John Kerry follow? So, of course, President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Department of State, the White House, U.S. Mission to the UN, Secretary Anthony Blinken, Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield. That's it. That's all that account follows with 125,000. That's not that many followers for John, the special presidential envoy. So many people are concerned about the climate. You'd think he'd have a lot more followers

than that. Anyway, the picture on his Twitter account, you know, his main picture was with, I guess, probably his grandkid or something, hugging a... him as he's signing some bill that's going to cost us a billion dollars. Then the main picture. I'm sorry, that face is not the face of the one that's sitting on that airplane. I just, I don't believe it. I don't believe it. Now, I could be proven wrong, but I'm just telling you, I don't believe it.

And I don't know what to think about it because he responded. So is it a fake picture that isn't John Kerry? the airplane but john knows he flew on an airplane and so he realizes that he's got a comment because he did fly on american airlines but i don't think the picture is john carey without the mask i think it's somebody else but it's just it's driving me crazy i've got to have a special chewing the fat investigation on this ctf has got to report or investigate or something Okay, before we go today, thanks. I want to thank you for listening to chewing the fat.

Tell your friends, tell your neighbors. Remember the rules as a subscriber to chewing the fat. I don't care what you listen to. You're obviously going to listen to more things than just chewing the fat. I get that. But, I mean, I don't know why you'd want to, but I get it. Now, I do know why you'd want to, but I'm just joking. But the rule is, if you're a subscriber to chewing the fat, whatever you're listening to,

if you're ever asked, hey, what do you listen to? You have to say chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. That's a rule. I don't, you know, do I make up the rules? Don't ask, I just, maybe. But, you know, I'm just saying, you have to do it. It's a rule. It's part of the deal.

So, four headlines. Well, don't forget the email that I get calls it, I think, three headlines and a lie. But it's really four headlines and a lie. One of them is a lie. But I went through them. I was looking at them yesterday. I thought, that's interesting because the one that's a lie, you believe that it's real. That's why it's such a tricky little thing, Jeff.

Oh, okay. So the first question is, then we'll see how you know the news. Drivers involved in highway fenderbender agree to sell picture of Wreck as NFT and split the profits, the non-functionable, right? We've talked quite a bit at length about the NFTs. Next headline. First ever sighting of a walrus in Ireland after it is thought to have drifted across the Atlantic

after falling asleep on an iceberg. Third headline. Biden says 85% of the White House staff still love his dog major after biting incident. Fourth headline. SUV crashes into house in Montgomery, hedgehog involved unharmed. So there's the four headlines. One of them is a lie. Now, for sure, we've covered the 85% of the staff still love dog,

after biting incident. Biden said that in an interview we talked about it I think yesterday, but one of the days this week we talked about it because that's not the reason they were shipped back to what states he from again? Oh yeah, Delaware. He was going to be gone. Jill was going to be gone and they sent back to the trainers and the caretakers. Oh, okay. All right. No problem. Are they ever going to come back to the White House? My answer would be probably no, but that's just a guess. So we know that one is a true headline, right? We know, and I don't know that we talked about it,

but so you should still know it, though, because I mentally had it in my head. The first ever sighting of the walrus in Ireland after it's thought to have drifted across the Atlantic Ocean after falling asleep. Now, that's a long sleep. I remember seeing that thinking, wait, the walrus fell asleep and just drifted across the ocean?

Okay. All right. So then you have two left, right? SGV crashes in the house in Montgomery, hedgehog involved, and the drivers involved in a highway fender bender agreed to sell picture of RECAs NFT and split the profit. The crash in Montgomery, the hedgehog involved, is absolutely true. All right. What was strange about that story is it talked about cars hit buildings in the Washington region fairly often.

with Montgomery County. Maybe we ought to look into that before we start worrying about you know, the connection between the car crash and the animal did not involve any disturbance of a den. Oh, good, all good, with the creature that might have been living in the wild,

which is great. I mean, that's always good to hear, isn't it? So that makes that the driver involved in a fender, mentor agreed to sell picture of wreck as NFT and split the profits is the lie. But I will say that that's coming. That is coming. And it won't be very long, my friends.

It won't be very long. You can mark my words on that. That is a CTF guarantee. CTF guarantee.
