What do you do if you get on, let's say, for example, an airline and you're supposed to, you get on one place and you're supposed to be going to your destination, you've purchased your ticket and you go to that destination, that's where you're expecting to go. And you sit on the tarmac for a couple hours waiting to take off. And you finally hit the air. and you fly for a little while and then you land and you're told yeah you know we landed in the wrong place we didn't go where you thought we were gonna go what do you do i mean you're just screwed right i mean a british airways flight bound for dussledorf germany from london waited on the tarmac two and a half hours on the tarmac all right two and a half hours at no time while they're waiting on the

tarmac did any of these passengers say, oh, you know, hey, I can't wait to get to Dusseldorf or, you know, talk to one of the flight attendants. Yeah, you know, it's been a long time since I've been to Dusseldorf. Maybe one flight attendant says Why all these people think

that we have a number of people on the flight that are thinking they're going to Duzzle Dorff. But our paperwork says we're going to be going to Edinburgh, Scotland. So if you think you're going to Dostoldorf. So when they land, I mean they ask, they like, the crew asked.

The crew asked the passengers. How many of you intended to go to Dusseldorf today? Everyone on the flight raises their hands. Yeah, well, we have been some kind of paperwork mix up because we flew to, we landed in Edinburgh. So if you look out your window right now, you're in Edinburgh. And go ahead and deport the plane because we're not going any place anymore. Have a good day.

Enjoy your time at Edinburgh. Look, good luck making it to, good luck making it to Dusseldorf. Have a nice day. I don't know what British Airways does. They claim it's some kind of paperwork mess up. They had some kind of wrong filing with the paperwork. But nobody catches it, especially after sitting two and a half hours on the tarmac and nobody catches it.

Come on now. Come on. We live in interesting times. And there's even more stories today that will highlight the interesting times that we live in. Welcome to chewing the fat. We live in amazing times. I told you there...

I'll just break it to you easy. Okay? There's no way to break it to you easy. so I'm just going to tell you. Actor Jesse Smollett. Is it Smollett or Smollett or Smollett or? Juicy Smollett. It is not juicy Smollett. It's not.

All right, juicy Smollett. What does he go by? What does he go by? This should be my question. Would you say, hey, name, serial number? Juicy Smollet, 5576. So all charges against Juicy Smollett were dropped today. All charges dropped.

Wow. His record has been wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint. Tragic complaint against. What's his name? Justice Smallet 5586. Yeah. Name is serial number. Amazing today that we don't, we don't, we don't,

We just know that he showed up in court and dropped all charges against him. The record been wiped clean. Jesse, what's his name again? Juicy Smollett. I want to say it right. Yeah, what is it? 5586, juicy smallet. So he came out of court and he, let me read you what he had to say.

And now, you know what, better yet, let's hear it from. Juicy Smollett, 5586. First of all, I want to thank my family, my friends, the incredible people of Chicago, and all over the country and the world who have prayed for me, who have supported me, who have shown me so much love. No one will ever know how much that has meant to me, and I will forever be grateful. I want you to know that not for a moment was it in vain. I've been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one.

Have you? I would not be my mother's son if I was capable of one. drop of what I've been accused of. This has been an incredibly difficult time. Honestly, one of the worst of my entire life. They shouldn't have done it then. But I'm a man of faith and I'm a man that has knowledge of my history and I would not bring my family, our lives or the movement through a fire like this. I just wouldn't. So I want to thank my legal counsel from the bottom of my heart. And I would also like to thank

the state of Illinois for attempting to do what's right. Now I'd like nothing more than to just get back to work and move on with my life. I bet you would. But make no mistakes, I will always continue to fight for the justice, equality, and betterment of marginalized people everywhere. So again, thank you for all the support.

Thank you for faith and thank you to God. Bless y'all. Thank you very much. Marginalized people everywhere. Stop it. What's his name again? Jesus Molest F5-A-6. So the writers on the show,

Empire of which Juicy Small EF586. It was a part of currently airing its fifth season. Shared a screen grab of Juicy Small E5A6 with a Twitter note that said to see y'all Wednesday. So is he back? Is it just back or was that just a way of saying,

hey, watch the show on Wednesday. Nobody else is. Please, we've got to promo this. Please, we've got a promo this. We're not going to get rid of him, but please promo this week. He got us more attention that we needed.

We need people to watch the show. So my first thought was, well, other than, wow, how does that happen, right? Because, I mean, we heard from the Chicago Police Superintendent, we heard from Superintendent Johnson that whole case lay out against him.

I mean, the investigation that they did against him was the investigation that they ended up turning over to the state's attorney because of... Two-six-a-F-5-8-6. And I'm thinking, wow. Wonder how he feels. So then they have a press conference with Superintendent Johnson and Rob.

I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor of Chicago, Ron Emanuel. How dare you? I apologize. He earned that. I know, Rob, I got it. He's quitting. The mayor of the Chicago. Rob is only, he's not running again now, right?

He's done. Right? I mean, this is like his last hurrah or whatever. I don't know how much longer he has to be mayor. but actually find that out how long a round has to be mayor in Chicago because it's not much longer. He decided he's not going to run,

which I'm surprised about. There's probably term limits which he could read. I mean, they just rewrite the laws in Chicago for that. And this is what I think happened. This is just another thing of happening in Chicago, right? This is the joke. It's like, what?

So we want the fight. We want police superintendent Johnson to just come out and rip the state's attorney's office. Now, so I listened, and this is what we, this is a little bit of what we got from Superintendent Johnson. Do I think justice will serve? No. What do I think justice is? I think this city is still old in apology.

And let me digress for a moment. When I came on this job, I've been a cop now for about 31 years. And I came on this job, I came on with my honor, my integrity, and my reputation. If someone accused me of doing anything that was circumvented, that, then I would want my day in court, period, to clear my name. I've heard that they wanted their day in court with TV cameras so America could know the truth. You know, they chose to hide behind secrecy and broker a deal to circumvent the judicial system. My job as a police officer is to investigate an incident, gather evidence, gather their facts, and present them to the state's

attorney. That's what we did. I stand behind the detective's investigation. And that's, look, and this is, and he went on and they kept trying to get him to go to war with the state's attorneys. I mean, they kept, they wanted him to hammer them and say how bad they were. And there's no way, this is where he's at, right? Off the record in private, you know, I'm sure he's guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty. Thank you. I mean, that, that's, And I'm sure that he said, he has said, Guilty, guilty, guilty, county. More than once, especially today.

But you're not going to get it, right? On the record, you're not getting it. They wanted that fight bad. The reporters really tried. They press them of more than once, more than two times, more than three times, to really get him to have the fight and he wasn't given to them. Now, Rahm Emanuel.

This is what's so strange. Ram Emanuel comes out, and he is being. beating everyone up as well. By the way, he is termed out. He got elected in 2011. He cannot serve no more than four, no more than two terms of four years. So he's out in 2019.

Okay, so this year sometime. And again, if he wanted to run again, he would just say, oh, is there a law? We lost that. We lost that law. That's what happens in Chicago. Was there a law? Can you show it to me?

We couldn't find it? Oh, no. So then no. If we can't find the paperwork that has the law on it, that's, I mean, that's it. I'm just going to run again. I mean, Ron will be fine.

Don't worry. He's on the inside track. But although he's done pretty well, he was a smart move, disting himself from the Clintons like he did. Because he's one of the Clinton, insider Clinton's people. But when he became mayor of Chicago,

everyone was like, ooh, what's he doing that for? But it paid off in the end because the Clintons now are on the outs. And Rob was like, Clinton, who? I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, you know, I might have hung out with them

a couple years ago or something. I don't know with them now. he had this to say. People that of all walks of life and backgrounds, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got it. Whether they're telling the truth. No, it does.

You don't stop that for a second. No, it does not. I am really sick of that. Excuse me. I didn't expect that to happen on the air, but I apologize. That really ticks me off. That whole thing of people lying and how it stops people from coming forward. because someone lied in the past, that's crap.

I don't buy that at all. If I have something happened to me and because of someone missed reporting what happened to them two months ago, that's not going to stop me from coming forward. I don't understand that thinking. I don't understand how someone would say, oh, you see what they did to him.

Now, maybe rubbing them over the coals, Maybe that way you change what you want to report. I get that a little bit. I get that well, you know, you want to be sure. But if you believe and you know and you have facts that something terrible happened to you, that's illegal, that's illegal, then you're taking it to the law. You want the law to be fulfilled on your behalf. That's kind of what Johnson was saying about the... Chusey Smollett for 586.

Because he was saying why they have this closed case? Why is everything wiped out now? I thought you wanted your day in court. I thought you wanted to prove us all wrong. Wanted cameras. Right. You wanted it all in court. And then now, today, you get the...

Ain't nobody got time for that? And then we're done. It's over. Have a nice day. So go ahead with Rob. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cut you off here. Somebody asked him a question, too.

Well, he was in the middle of his... He called it a sermon. And he called his own little speech was a sermon. Somebody asked him a question. He was like, whoa. And he looked down, and the report was like, I'm sorry. Yeah, don't interrupt me while I'm in the middle of my sermon. Oh, you got it, Mayor.

I'm sorry. Now this cast a shadow of whether they're telling the truth, and he did this all in the name of self-promotion. And he used the laws of the hate crime legislation that all of us collectively over years have put on the books to stand up to be the values that embody what we believe in. This is a whitewash of justice. Oh, Rob, easy with the whitewash.

A grand jury could not have been clear. To then say not only is the cost, $10,000 doesn't come cost financially. Not even close. But all the other repercussions of this decision made to me, where is the accountability in the system? And what he's referring to there, just pause up for a second. What he's referring to there is that as part of this plea deal of everything going away, he has to, he's not getting any of his money back. He put $10,000 down for his bail, and he's not getting that back.

Someone posted that bail. He's made more. Empire would be thankful to spend $10,000 and get the promotion they've gotten out of this. That's easy money for those shows. Whatever network it's on. Fox? Yeah, yeah, whatever network it's on. Oh, the mayor's done.

That was it for the mayor? Yeah. I mean, and he said whitewash. He kept saying whitewash a lot. That's a little embarrassing, Rob. You know better than that. Is it why? Oh, you don't want to use whitewash in a case like this.

That's a racist term. That's a racist term. Even coming from Rom Emanuel. I mean, it's so strange that the mayor is out there. Pushing hard. Pushing hard with the police department. So he's got to have the police on his back. No question.

You have to. He's got to be on the police department side, right? The police department have to be on the mayor side. We've seen police departments, you know, turn their back on mayors. And they will do it. Oh, man, no question. So he's got them on his side. Which is good.

This keeps the police on their side. But now he's got the whole state's attorney's office in a shambles, right? I mean, they hate it. But if you put them on a scale, who do you want on your side? The DAs or the police? Well, I mean, they're supposed to work hand in hand. Not in here. They didn't.

It was supposed to work hand in hand, though, right? They're supposed to, but in this case, what happened? The district attorney's office and prosecute those crimes. These are their stories. And that's what's supposed to happen, right? I love that you had that there. You're welcome.

Anyway, uh, juicy small F586. It's over. Case is, case dismissed, charges dropped. Everything's locked up. Good luck, God bless. Back to Empire. Guilty, county, county. Not today, brother man.

Not today. All right, let's go to the break room and get ourselves something cold to drink. And then I've got some health and wellness and headlines today. That's fascinating. But first, let's have some Coca-Cola zero sugar. Oh my gosh. So good. So big time health news today.

New York's Rockland County declares measles emergency measles emergency in Rockland County bans anyone under the age of 18 who isn't vaccinated from public places starting at midnight tonight right I mean what is going on

and then as we go around the world the Democratic Republic of Congo and I was just I was just looking at a condo at the you were DRC. Yeah, and the DRC. I've watched two big shows. We've talked about this before. I've watched two big shows that highly, have the highly prominent DRC in the shows.

And I'm like, I've got to go there. It looks beautiful. So it's dealing with the second deadliest Ebola outbreak in history. In 2014, we are. The worst outbreak ever to hit the region, killing more than 11,000 people. The latest outbreak started in August has already killed 629. people because violence against treatment centers has made it even harder to stop the disease from spreading has caused some treatment facilities to close meanwhile in southeast Africa which is

another place I was looking at a another condo the condos you know it wasn't sure if it was a DRC or southeast Africa how can you pick that region is still reeling from the cyclone that came through I know you don't even hear about it in southeast Africa nobody cares but they I mean death toll has reached more than 750 in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi, all three places I was looking at condos. Wow. All three of those places. And the people in Mozambique not only have that to worry about, but they're concerned

about a cholera outbreak. So things are looking good in Africa. Things are looking good in Africa, boy. Isn't that a song? Things are looking good in Africa? I mean, it should be. If it's not, it should be no question. And we have a big recall of avocados.

Now, most of you... We already did that. This just happened. I've seen you a picture at the airport when they could not serve me avocados? Oh, I don't know. How long ago was that? That was a while ago, right? Yeah.

Yeah, because this is now brand new where they're saying, no, we've got Listeria. Listeria news. Six states, no avocados. People aren't still eating them, though. I mean, if you're an avocado, lover, do you care that you might possibly get Listeria? I don't think so.

What is Listeria? I don't think so. Like the cough drops and you're good? Yes. Yes. You create with, you eat an avocado and then you cough up a cough drop. It's amazing. Yeah, you create your own.

Tell us what Listeria is, Chris. How do you spell it? So Listeria is a foodborne bacterial illness that can be serious for pregnant women and people with impaired immune system. I mean, this is the same thing that happened to Bluebell Ice Cream. I mean, darn, they shut Bluebell Ice Cream down, man. For fears of Listeria. And it hurts.

I would not be... Yeah, because it goes through your central nervous system. Ouch. Thank you, Dr. Cruz. Yeah. Ouch. How much did you owe? Listeria.

Ouch. So another big story making... making the rounds today, as long as we're in the break room, is this main hospital that has nine nurses all pregnant at the same time. I mean, that's okay. I guess that's big news. I'm thinking, I mean, the docs are having some busy times with these nurses, right? But not too long ago, remember, in Arizona, we had the hospital that had 16 nurses

pregnant at the same time. I mean, if you want to be a doctor, you want to be a doctor at. Maine or you want to be a doctor in Arizona? You want nine or you want 16? 16. Absolutely. What if I want nine plus 16? There you go. Maybe that's what happened. So what? We got the Arizona one. This was in August of last year. Right.

So how many months is it? Nine. Right. No, thank you. Thank you. Oh, it's a gestation period of a human being. I don't know. Thank you. But so you got. August was the story in Arizona. And now we're looking at oh, that was too early though, really.

So you had August, September, October, November, December, January, February, April, April. That's nine. But you've got to have some business time to get to it. Right? So by the time that all these women were pregnant in Arizona, the doc

left. Right before the story broke, he was like, well, they're all pregnant. I got to go. So he goes to Maine. takes care of some business in Maine. That might be like a doctor joke going on. How many women can one doc get pregnant around the country at different hospitals before people go, whoa, hey, doc, settle down.

So, you know, when a doctor kills a lot of people, it's a serial killer. When a doctor impregnates a lot of people, what is that? Well, it's different if he's like they, we've had the stories of the doctors that have used their sperm, right? and people who get pregnant through the turkey baster.

I think that's exactly what's what they use is a turkey baster. That's the medical term? Yeah, they use a turkey baster. And but if the doc is doing it, and it's a voluntary thing, right? These nurses, these nurses obviously aren't saying rape.

Right. They're all happy and smiling. I'm sure that each one of these nurses are married. This was absolutely. Absolutely above board and it was their husbands that made them pregnant. And it is just coincidence. It absolutely is coincidence.

And just because we don't know of a doctor that went from Arizona to Maine doesn't mean it didn't happen. I mean so. Could be just a made-up story on our part. It sounds like criminal minds. It does. It does.

I like it. Write it up. It could be a new show on Apple TV. I'm sorry. Apple TV Plus. Thank you. So we mentioned it yesterday that they were having their big announcement. And so then I go and I listen to all their announcements.

And that was horrible. Amazing. Horrible. Their opening thing with what's his face and what's her face and what's her face. Jennifer Aniston. Yeah. Her and Reese Brees Preeto and Steve Corral. Yeah.

Those Dicleberries. You know, those what's her faces. horrible. They are million-dollar actors. They're up on stage for Apple Plus TV. Horrible. We had this discussion. Horrible.

When you put a teleprompter on an actor like this, they look at the Oscars. They cannot read what's on the teleprompter. You put a teleprompter, they're no longer actor. They're just amateurs. That's for sure. It was just bad. And Steve, oh, can I come out?

I'm part of the show. I've been part of the man. And we want to have, we can't have a relationship. relationship show with two women without a man. So these three are putting on a morning show for Apple TV Plus. Good Lord. Heaven help us. Heaven help us with Jennifer Aniston.

You know this is not going to last. Oh, of course it is. Oh, my gosh. There's no way. I'll give it longer than GMA. Longer than GMA. There's no way that Jennifer Anston and Reef. And Reith Weatherspoon.

Now, Reese, Reese is a hard worker. Reese works. I mean, she's a mogul now in Hollywood. I'm surprised that she wants to do this, actually. But Jennifer Aniston, you know what her workday is, gets up and drinks her lemon water, and then does her workout and gets her son in and does a little yoga and comes back home and makes sure she eats her avocado with her quarter ounce of fish. So everything is perfect.

She's going to have to get up and do a morning show every day. No. No, my friends. Sorry. That is not going to last. She's not going to be able to do that. Corral just come in with his shorts on. I'm here.

What do you want for me? No way does it work. The sad thing is it will work. That had a great lineup too. Did they? Yeah, Steven Spielberg, JJ Abrams, Ron Howard. Oh, my God, speaking of Spielberg, what a douche, Stephen Spielberg. We told you on this show, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.

Thank you so much for subscribing. And if you don't subscribe, why? You idiot. And if you do subscribe, make sure you tell some friends and share it and stuff. What are you doing with your life if you're not sharing with it? But anyway, back to Steven Spielberg, the douche. I told you, we should go back and listen. I feel like Glenn Beck now.

We should go back and listen because I, I told something is not right with him. He's got to be, there's got to be some kind of deal. Yeah, we're not going back. Because he was all wound up at the academy and he wanted Netflix sucked. And we shouldn't. Well, you have to. If you partner up with Apple. We didn't know that at the time, though, did we?

But it makes sense. It does make sense that Duce Spielberg now, Mr. Multi-Billionaire, Mr. I should be with next. I don't know where you get the douche part. What's that? Steven Spielberg. Yeah, that's his name. Duce Spielberg.

That's what I said. Yeah, I'm not Steven Spielberg. No, he's a billionaire. He's a director, film producer, done all these great movies, Duce Spielberg. And so he's bad mouth of Netflix. And you're thinking, I thought, the only reason he's mad is because Netflix hasn't offered him money.

also apparently Netflix has offered him money except that Apple TV Plus offered him more so he's just going to be a douche just like his name Duce Spielberg against without declaring it No it wasn't it wasn't hey I'm working for Apple TV plus And so uh

He couldn't do it he was waiting for the event Oh really so then maybe he should have kept his douche Spielberg mouth shut Instead of coming out He came out as Steven Spielberg There I call him by his real name you happy He came out as these Steven Spielberg.

All right. Mr. Hollywood mogul bad mouth of Netflix. So anybody that thinks that Steven Spielberg's word is worth anything anymore thinks, oh, Netflix sucks. No. And he'll say, I didn't say

Netflix. I just think that we shouldn't, their movies shouldn't count as part of the Academy Awards. And I agree. Turn your mic off. And then we have, we got Oprah doing the act. I told you to turn your mic up. gonna go down the list

not right now because you pissed me off with that with your last thing I do you turn your mic off with your thing with you agreeing with Duce Spielberg

Steven Spielberg All right go down your stupid list Emna Shamaala Oprah the guy from Aquaman I don't know how to say

his name Ojesa Amamoa Alfred Now continue down the list Umai Naigi Gijingangay the guy from Little America

Who was that a guy? Big Bird was there. Who was that again, the guy before Big Bird? Kamalae Nishikina from Little America. You said it different twice now, so let's hear the third time. Maybe we'll get, do I hear three? Kamalae Negu Knaganegi. I do hear three times different.

Little America. Thank you. Okay. Big Bird. JJ Abrams, Sarah Berlees. I don't know who she is. Do you know who she is? I don't know the name, no.

I don't have to look at her. And then Oprah. That's a prime time. lineup right there. It's a prime time lineup of what? What are they going to be doing? There wasn't any specifics. What are they going to be doing?

They just add free subscription service. Exclusive Apple originals available in 100 plus country coming this fall. They just have their names. They don't know what they're going to be doing. Oprah's going to be selling her frozen food dishes on Apple TV Plus. Hey, coming. Diet like me. Buy my stuff.

Oh, isn't it so delicious? Make me richer than I am. Well, call Tim Apple. Let's get him on the phone. Is Tim Apple on the phone? I want to get him on the phone right now. We need to talk to him right now. Is there any calls?

We'll get Tim on the line. Ivan, any calls? That's interesting. That's just agonizing. Look, good for them. And they've got their new subscription service that they're going to say they say they've got more than 300 magazines for $9.99 a month, which may or may not be worth it.

Because, I mean, I subscribe to a lot of different free stuff and they're starting now to not be free. $3.99. That would be free, which is a little very disappointing to me. Well, we talked about it yesterday. All this now, I feel like I'm buying, by the time I total everything up. Yeah, we've got subscription fatigue on everything. So maybe, you know, this is what needs, some of what needs to happen, right?

Some bundles need to happen. There also needs to be some separate things on top of bundles that need to happen, which is what the cable TV has not done so well. You know, like cable says, hey, this is what you get. And then we're going to sell you all these separate things. instead of, you know, I feel like I should be able to pick and choose what I want for shows from some of the networks. And I'm not sure.

I don't have it worked out of my head off top of my head how to make that work with the apps because what they're doing is putting all these under one app. And so under this one app, I'd be able to look at 300 different magazines or whatever. Yeah, and right now you have a power of who. I mean, we have, I pay for that on my cable TV and I watch two channels maybe of the 300, right? Who's going to come on top? Right. Is it Netflix?

It's it Apple? It's a Roku? It's a Hulu. Yeah, I mean, I don't know the answer to that. But, you know, good for that. Whatever. If it works out, it works out. And it's going to be, you know, they've got the money to do it, right?

I mean, Tim Apple. Tim Apple has got a lot of money. He's got the money to work with. No question. Well, Oprah will bring two documentaries. Oh, joy. I can't. I hope one of them is on her.

Can't wait. Look, duh. I can't wait. Can't wait. By the way, you also forgot to mention that Apple will have now Apple Arcade and Apple Credit Card. Great. Great. Can't wait.

I mean, it's just more money for Tim Apple. It really is what it turns out to be. Apple credit card. Do I get a special black and silver and gold and platinum Apple credit card? You do. Of course you do. You want to be the platinum. You want to have the, and it's not the card.

The card can be any color, but it's the color of the apple that makes it all the worth. You're welcome, Tim, if you didn't have that idea already. It's not the, just the card could be anything you want, but it's the color of the apple that you want. Oh, you're just a regular, just a white apple. Ooh. Ooh. Don't want to be. Platinum.

Nobody wants to be a white apple in today's world. Nobody. So speaking of people like Jennifer Aniston, this is exactly my point. Jamila Jamil, actress, best known for a role in the popular sitcom The Good Place. And by that, by the popular sitcom and the Good Place, that's what the article says. That's not what I said. Because I don't recall ever seeing the popular sitcom The Good Place. Only once he's someone's good.

But I'm surprised that I have not seen it. The Good Place. I don't remember seeing it. Anyway, she has called out people like, what's her name? What's her face? Jennifer Anderson. Yeah. Because let's get real about money for a second.

Because money is the reason most people don't look as thin and young as celebrities. These people have trainers, chefs, access to the best organic food, beauticians, staff to help them do everything. It's a much stressful life, the best doctors, talented surgeons, makeup artists, hairstylists. But what's your face. Jennifer. She's not going to want to be getting up in the morning. About the fourth or fifth day. Now, I'll give her a week.

Because that's like if she goes out to do a movie, which she's done some blockbuster movies. I just can't name them right now. She goes out to do a film, a movie. That's what maybe a couple weeks. She used to do her TV show. So she went out, that was, you know, three or four days a week. And then you're home for three or four days and you're home for three or four days.

So I give her maybe two weeks of every Monday through Friday, five days having to be up doing a morning show. Although they'll have, you know, she won't have to think about anything. She'll just have to look at the teleprompter and go, good morning. How are you, Reese? Oh, Steve, good to see you. How about that story last night in the news? I too hate Trump. You?

Going to be big. It's going to be agonizing. agonizing You're just jealous you didn't get the call So you don't know that Apple might have called me And I might have turned him down

Tim Apple called you You might have And I might have turned him down Of course if you had a call I probably wouldn't have turned him down Anyway Space The Final Frontier

We all We all are looking forward to space The Final Frontier Except NASA now It's got the all-female spacewalk going on up there except yeah no yeah it's not going to happen. That all female spacewalks not going to happen a couple reasons one one of the reasons is there's no way you're going to get we're going to get all those women wearing the same outfit the same time. It's just not going to wear that.

It's just no way. Yeah, that's not going to happen. Plus, NASA, who is running NASA? Somebody probably, no, I was going to say, reminds me of someone else running another company. I don't know what company that would be. But it would be just to remind me that NASA sends females up to do, they're going to do their all female spacewalk, but they don't send enough of the same size suit.

What? I mean, we don't say. I thought they had special suits made for all of them. They do. Not today's world. This is low budget NASA right here, man. It is. They don't have a budget.

This is NASA. Buy it off the rack space suit, man. She looks like she fits in two. Yeah, that looks about right. Oh, did I get through, did I think you were bigger than you were? That's a little heavy for you? Sorry. Sorry, I'm really seriously.

No, you don't look that fat. I was just the wrong size. Sorry, didn't mean that. I mean, come on now. it's NASA. You're telling me that Elon Musk would have had Elon Musk, SpaceX would have screwed up on this.

SpaceX would have bought the spacesuits off the rack. But it ran down to Walmart. Hello, I need a space suit. Oh, we're all sold out. Okay, whatever. Go up. We're out of spacesuit. Sorry.

Didn't get your size. We're still going to go up, though, because we're not going to postpone this thing today. Windows's good. There's no cloud cover. Get out. Just amazing. Just amazing.

Plus, there is space news, So remember a week or so ago, they launched the Bersheet spacecraft, Israel's Bersheet spacecraft. They launched a spacecraft toward the moon a week or so ago. And they had some kind of mysterious cargo on it. Nobody knew what it was. Is that Israel? Yeah. Weather machine.

That may have been on there as well. but also what was on there is the 30 million page archive of human knowledge I mean did they print it etched into it yes yes they did yeah it's all on it's all on shelves on the launch it's in the shelves inside wrapped in spacesuits that's why the females didn't have spacesuits because they had to wrap the bookshelves in spacesuits it's etched into a DVD size metal case

so they've got these little these little discs that are supposed to supposed to be able to withstand a heat, massive amounts of heat, like 10 times the heat that they're planning on it, possibly facing if it lands and stays on the moon. It's got more than 200 gigabytes of data. Sure to fat, right? Yes.

Yes. Entire English language version of Wikipedia. Ooh. So they speak English? Tens of thousands of fiction and nonfiction books. A collection of text. books, a guide to 5,000 languages, along with 1.5 billion sample translations between them. And a copy of the first 50 shows of chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.

I mean, that's worth it then. 25 stacked nickel discs, each just 40 microns, about one-six-hundredth of an inch thick. They cost a nickel? Yes, that's what it costs a nickel. That's what it did. It cost a nickel. Okay. I want to see the heat, though.

but talked about how many heats. Okay, so it will last. The objects will not survive for a billion years undegrated, but they might be intact and unburied after 10 million years. Might? Maybe 50 million years. Yeah. Might.

That's why the females aren't getting spacesuits. The right size of spaces. Like, ah. Can we get the right calculations? So sick. I was sending stuff up to the moon all the time. How long is it going to last? I don't know.

Just make the discs, put them on board. We got all this. information. I don't know how long it's going to last. Just tell them 10 million years. Is anyone going to know? True. No. The only reason the problem is now with the space suits is that now the females are up there. We're not we all there. No other thing fits. So they're naked? It's just amazing. This is amazing. You don't have a space suits? Are you kidding me? The wrong size? Isn't it the new show naked and afraid space station? I like it. Apple TV Plus. You know, there was good news for Papa John's, though, and I was kind of a fan of Papa

John's pizza. I know it's a surprise. I'm a fan of pizza. But I always thought that John Snatter got a raw deal from his racist comments on the conference call and everything, and they got him out. But, and so, I mean, Papa John's has been kind of struggling since they had that struggle with him. But that was just announced that Shaquille O'Neal is going to be now a board member of Papa John's. And he's going to be a board member of Papa John's. And he's to be their brand ambassador. So he's going to be the new Papa John. And that's good for them.

That's a good, that's a good, that's a good, that's a good move on Papa John's part. I guess he's going to invest in Papa John's, which I'm surprised he wasn't anyway. You know, it's not like, what should I invest my millions in? I don't know. Why don't you buy some pizza places? Okay. So, but, you know, put him on the board and let him do the ads for you. I sell the heck out of Papa John's, man.

That's a good move. Plus, one last story before I go today. And I didn't realize this. Today is the 26th of March, 2019. Yesterday, the 25th. Elton John, I want to wish happy birthday to Elton John, 72 years old. Wow, Elton John. 72 years old.

Retrospective already? No, I'm not doing a retro. No, he's not dead, man. I can't, I mean, Elton, the retro on Elton, really, this is what this is, though. I mean, he was amazing. I was looking at some of the, some of the, like, the 20 things

that would be the highlight of a retrospective. You know, Elton beginning playing the piano at the age of three. Dad was in the Royal Air Force and treated his son like crap. wanted him to become a banker. Yeah, how'd that work out? His talents were recognized at 11

when he won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music where he impressed his teachers by playing back a four-page piece by handle after hearing it once. I mean, yeah, I can play that for you, no problem. I worry about it. And then so he used to, he got so bored going to school

and playing classical music and singing in the choir that he just, eh, I got to. got good grade, so I'm just going to go ride the subway around for a while and hang out and look at people. Just hang out. So that's all I want to do. And at one point in his early career, he had four albums in the top 40 in America. When I think of that, he was still living with his mom in an apartment up until that point.

I mean, I think what you don't think you've made it by then? Fascinating. But he's got a new movie coming out too. Which I remember hearing about, but I didn't realize it was so close to being done. And it's called Rocket Man. What is this? Now we got Rhapsody. Now we got Rocket Man.

What's next? Yeah, except Elton is not dead. We don't have to wait for it. We don't have to wait. Elton was like, well, yeah. Freddie Mercury, that was turned your mic off. Seriously. Stop talking.

So Elton, it's not going to wait. He was not going to be outdone by waiting until death. to go down. There's no way. Especially after, you know, Bohemian was so huge, no way. And it says here that the movie, it says, I'm an alcoholic,

a sex addict, and probably a shopaholic. I'm not going to whitewash. There's that word again today. Whitewash. It's a whitewashing of the world. Elton says, I'm not going to whitewash

Elton John's life. I mean, that is amazing. Wait, he spoke on the third person? The actor, Taryn Egerton, it's going to be an honest depiction of John's life. Okay, good. But the trailer looks great. Just fascinating.

Think of this. The official trailer, Rocket Man. In theaters, May 31st, this year. Right? And for those of you listening to the podcast, I know I'm sorry, I'd realize this is a trailer for a movie. But those of you watching, here you go. He's in the apartment

In his mom's little apartment That he lived in the first four albums It was amazing He all the notes And I had to get it out It's a little bit funny Working out the song This was one of his first big monster hits

Yeah What did you say your name was again My name is Reggie Yeah it's real thing Reginald Kenneth Dwight Is his real thing

Is his real thing Right This is fast dude A soul man Gotta kill the person you were born to be in order to become the person you want to be. Thank you. And he did. And he did.

I'm thinking it's changing my name to Elton. But that's my name. Yeah, I know. Not anymore. That's why I like it. You can be the best-selling artist in America if you desire. I was trying to do something bold. Why you sell something flashy?

He hasn't. Don't be so boring. Can you even play the piano in those? Flies. First big giant is Tennies. And just don't kill yourself with drugs? Yeah, just be a star, just don't kill yourself with drugs. It's never going to last.

It's just a joke while we can. First sleeping arrangements, care of all of this is gone. I just hope you realize you're choosing a life of being alone forever. Don't we want to just sing without this ridiculous paraphernalia? People don't pay to see Rich White. They pay to see Elton John. Think about it. Think about it.

I'm sorry. And then he comes back at some time. I mean, I can't wait. How much pressure I'm under. Not me, man. I'll still be collecting my 20% long after you've killed yourself. I'm impressed. I should have tried to be more ordinary.

You were never ordinary. Oh, I'll see. Yeah, that last scene shows him coming up backstage, and they're just dressing him. And he's, like, completely white. Look at you now. Yeah, look at you now. and he just they throw his they throw the elton outfit on and he walks out on stage and he immediately turns into you know turns into elton it was fascinating i can't wait now i didn't realize he said that he now uh he figures he owns about 250 000 pairs of his glasses uh that's a few it's a few to choose from that's a few to choose from yeah just a few he's had more than 50 hits in the top 40 i mean amazing and that your song was uh his first big hit.

I'm sorry? But how can you have 50 songs on the top 40? Yeah, it's only the top 40. I know, it's weird. It's a weird math-magical thing, but that's the way they said it. I don't understand it either. But I'm upset.

You all, Elton John is the thing, blah, blah, blah, blah. Happened to this. I know. I know, him and Bernie Toppa did this. In 2017, we made the big thing. Bernie and I will be celebrating the 50th anniversary. So they had the big 50th. anniversary together of writing and it talks about how they

wrote so many things together over the years and I mean in fact Bernie Topin who was in that ad what they did for YouTube both answered an ad in NME for work at Liberty Records. The A&R manager gave Elton a stack of lyrics Bernie wrote and the singer penned the music for them, mailed them back to Bernie and Bernie said oh that sounds great we'll just I'll write more stuff all right.

They would go on to become successful songwriters for Other artists taking less than 90 minutes to churn out easy listening songs. Before he hit it big, Elton was a sessian musician. He played piano for the hollies. Amazing. These guys are just, they're so talented. And they just, send him some words. And Ellen's like, those are the words?

Okay, listen. Those are the words. Here's the music. Okay, we're done. Thank you. That's what I have. We're done. Can I go back home now?

Yeah, I got to take a nap. I'm going to go do some drugs or go swim in the pool and see my boyfriend. But now he's got a couple of kids. yes i thought was a character no because he's he's been married to the guy the his male companion companion husband wife whatever you call it they've been together for a long time now he said that he's really he really loves this guy and they've adopted a couple of kids because that's why he was that's why he was retiring he's on his like a retirement tour now because he wants to spend more time with his kids. Yeah, except the retirement tour is like two or three years long or something,

if I remember right. He's going to tour the world. You know, I got to spend some more time with the family. But first, I've got to tour of the world for four or five years. And, you know, there's no way Elton retires. I'm sorry. He spends too much. The guy spends millions of dollars on shoes. He dies on the stage. You can't retire as Elton John. And not, you have to work. That was the whole Vegas thing. That's his Vegas thing. That's the concerts. That's doing the thing. One of the best shows I've seen, I don't know about ever, but pretty close

to ever, was the Billy Joel, Elton John concert together. Oh, you seen that? It was so good. Those guys have so many hits together. And it's so fun watching them battle each other for the audience. And obviously it's part of the bit. I got it. But, you know, like

Billy would start a song with three or four notes and everybody would know the song. And then Elton would start a song with three or four notes and everyone know the song so that billy dropped it down to like two notes and everybody knows it elton two notes pretty soon one note and the next thing elton is just you know leaning back without any notes starting to sing a song it was just really it was a really good show and those guys are just i mean they can walk out and probably do a week of concerts and not play the same song twice i would venture to say that's probably possible but of course you want them to play the same

songs because those are the hits you want to hear, right? Anyway, that movie should be fascinating. They really, they cut all the, they cut the gay stuff out of Bohemian Rhapsody in China. I just read a story where it opened in China, but they cut all the

gay stuff out. So that movie in China, Bohemian Rasmuchy, what, 10, 15 minutes long? The gay scenes are that long? I mean, well, I don't know what they cut out. That's what I'm asking because there wasn't, I mean, there's a lot. He's with his, he's with his boyfriend a lot. It's not sex, but they're living together, you know, they're with each other.

So I don't know what they cut out as far as what's, well, I don't know what China considers too much gay. We have to check the China rules for what's too much gay. And here's Glenn complain about R-rated movies. Right. Right. China's got too much gay. Cut it out.

Bohemia Rassi, 50 bits long. I mean, I don't even know. I'd be fast. I want to know what China thinks is too much gay. all China yeah get get China the line with the get uh what's his name G yeah he's the ruler forever it's got to do China got the same number just get him on the line
