Starting point is 00:00:00 So I don't know if you happen to see this weekend, but GMC unveiled its new electric Hummer SUV. I know. And it's going to go on sale in 2023. And LeBron James, who, I mean, is great. He was, you know, part of the commercial. And to achieve greatness once is not the end of a journey. It's only the beginning. As he says right before the Hummer EV-SUV appears in the minute and a half long commercial,
Starting point is 00:00:37 if one super truck can change the world, imagine what two can do. And of course, you know, GM is receiving the, you know, getting ready to receive all the accolades for reviving the off-roading beast more than a decade after it discontinued the brand. But now it just runs on. batteries. So that's fine. Look, it's a good time to know that we've got electric vehicles coming because they're going to drive you to get electric vehicles. Why would you say that? Is that just something that's silly? No. The national average price of gas in the U.S. now has risen 20,
Starting point is 00:01:23 almost 21 percent since the end of January on track to hit an average of three. dollars per gallon this week. This very week, for those of you listening live, it is the 5th of April 2021, Monday. And so this week, the average is going to be over $3 a gallon. It's been on track. And if you've been buying gasoline for your vehicle, you know that's true, right? So good for GMC. It's going to be out in 2023, bringing back the Hummer.
Starting point is 00:01:56 It's an electric vehicle. Everybody's going to be happy. and you'll be able to just plug it into the magic outlet in the wall. And you're good, right? And you just plug it into the magic outlet and it's there. And you just charge it. It'll be wonderful. So what's good about the new Hummer,
Starting point is 00:02:19 the addition one of the Hummer EV, what's good about that is you can get one for about 112,000, Well, almost $113,000. So it's cheap. A piece of cake. And look, they're also, look, I know some of you are thinking, wait, $113,000. Well, all right, $112,595. All right.
Starting point is 00:02:45 So they're also planning to deliver a version of the pickup in the spring of 2024, which is only going to be about $80,000. And then there's also going to be the, hundred thousand, I'm sorry, the $99,995 version coming out in the fall of 2022. And then you'll be able to get the newest version in the spring of 2023. That one is only 90,000. So, piece of cake for these new Hummer vehicles
Starting point is 00:03:19 and these new electric vehicles from GM. And so the good thing is you won't, the good thing is you won't need to be purchasing gas. Right? It just comes out of the magical outlet. in the wall. So you're good. Aren't you excited? I know I am. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. For those of you concerned, the Suez Canal is open and running smooth as ever. The Suez Canal Authority, the SCA said that all 422 ships stranded by the ground.
Starting point is 00:04:00 of the giant container ship ever given have passed through the canal so they ended that on Saturday the backlog is over things are flowing good at the Suez Canal yay yay so remember when Jeff Bezos the outgoing CEO of Amazon and you know he is Amazon by the way he encouraged company officials to push back against criticism of the company. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I remember that when we reported on that. Yeah, well, sometimes it doesn't work out that good, does it? Because over the weekend, they had tweeted out, well, there was a story about employees,
Starting point is 00:04:52 delivery people having to urinate in water bottles just to stay on time. It was part of a tweet from Representative Mark Pocan who said paying workers $15 an hour doesn't make you a progressive workplace when you union bust and make workers urinate in water bottles. Amazon replied to that saying you don't really believe the peeing in bottles thing, do you? If that were true, nobody would work for us. The truth is that we have over a million incredible employees around the world who are proud of what they do and have great wages in health care from day one. Well, well, well, the response went viral.
Starting point is 00:05:35 And even one driver said that this is true. I worked for Amazon and was fired for taking restroom and meal breaks. I would get calls for going four minutes off my route to go relieve myself. Drive to your nearest delivery warehouse and you'll see pee bottles thrown on the side of the road. Well, Amazon went ahead and... apologized and they said, uh, you know what, uh, you, you know, it, we're sorry.
Starting point is 00:06:06 We are sorry. We, we really, we really meant to say that we were incorrect. And we were referring to Amazon's warehouses, which have dozens of restrooms, uh, not its drivers. We know that drivers can and do have trouble finding restrooms because of traffic or sometimes rural routes. And this has been,
Starting point is 00:06:26 especially the case during COVID when many public restrooms have been closed. Oh. Oh, okay. The company said the problem is not unique to Amazon and posted links to news reports about Uber, taxi, and UPS drivers having to urinate on the go. Regardless of the fact that this is industry-wide, we would like to solve it. We don't yet know how, but we will look for solutions. and we apologize to Representative Pocan. Oh, oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Well, that's good. Now, of course, Pocon said, sigh, this is not about me. This is about your workers, who you don't treat with enough respect or dignity. Start by acknowledging the inadequate working conditions you've created for all your workers, then fix that for everyone.
Starting point is 00:07:17 And finally, let them unionize without interference. That's what this is all about. So we'll get the news on the union, voting outcome soon, I guess. But we should have already known, I guess. But we'll see if we actually get the news on that. But I love that Amazon is saying, you know, we're really going to look for solutions. Are you?
Starting point is 00:07:44 Because I believe that they already have the solution. And that's going to be robots. We already talked about last. week how they're they're putting cameras in the delivery trucks right to help to help keep the driver awake and help with directions so soon i'm sure that we're going to have a robot helping with the delivery of the products for the humans and then soon it'll just be computer driven you know robot driving robot delivering and there'll be a few humans at the warehouse you know overseeing the entire thing. I mean, that's what they're doing at the warehouses now. Sure, they've got plenty of bathrooms at the warehouse. So, they've got robots doing a bunch of work, and the employees at the warehouse have got to run to keep up. We've all heard those reports and talked about them here. So that's their solution. So be careful how much bitching you do, because if you don't
Starting point is 00:08:47 have workers, you don't have to worry about unions. I mean, I guess we could start a new, you know, unions for robots movement but good luck with that one so uh your personal data are you worried about it i don't know why over 500 million facebook users just at all their info posted on some low-level hacking forum that's it though it just included phone numbers full names locations email addresses and biographical information you know that's all now of course security researchers say and this is hard to believe that hackers could use the data to impersonate people and commit fraud. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:09:30 Yeah, they say a database of that size containing the private information, phone numbers of lots of Facebook users could certainly lead to bad actors taking advantage of the data to perform social engineering attacks. Oh, okay. But Facebook said, hey, don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:09:49 That was from an old info leak. And we've already patched that way back in August of 2019. Remember? Because we had a bunch of it go after the Cambridge Analytica stuff. That was only 80 million users. But sure, it was a violation of our terms of service to target voters with political ads in 2016. But we apologized and it's fine. And look, the old one, this one came from an old dump that we've already fixed that patch.
Starting point is 00:10:19 So stop your whining. Okay? it's fine. You know, the thing is, really, is that, you know, that actually, you know, is a little concerning. But your info is out there, and social media and big tech are bulldozing over our rights and freedoms. And until they've silenced every last voice of dissent, they aren't going to stop. Will you be bold enough to stand in their way? Now, you could just deactivate all your social media accounts,
Starting point is 00:10:56 and that would be giving them just what they want. So instead of letting big tech sites revoke your right to free speech, why not revoke their right to your data?

Starting point is 00:12:53 ExpressVPN.com slash jeffy. Okay, so we've talked quite a lot on this show about the division of the people here in America. Well, really, around the world today. But it's more prevalent than ever here in the United States of America. You know, the melting pot of the world. What is starting to, you know, we're starting to pick out all the little stuff that melted together. so that we can be separate. That's what we want.
Starting point is 00:13:23 We want to be separate. Well, okay. And I hate to, I mean, I'm not a big fan of share. You know, personal, I should say, I enjoy some of her work and her music. And, you know, some of it is okay. And I, you know, I enjoy that. But her personal views are, you know,
Starting point is 00:13:43 not necessarily mine, the way I look at things. But when I start, when I start having to think myself, well, she was just trying to be nice. And I have to stick up for her? That's a problem. That's a problem for me, because that means that's how divided this country is, okay? I'm not really crazy about share, but I mean, she really was just trying to be nice. So I'm talking about the trial that's going on in Minneapolis. And she tweeted out, you know, she was watching the trial, of course, and she was, she tweeted out, was talking with mom and she said, I watched the trial of policemen who killed George Floyd and cried.
Starting point is 00:14:23 I said, Mom, I know this is going to sound crazy, but I kept thinking maybe if I'd been there, I could have helped. Well, okay. A, could you have? Could you? You know, doubtful?
Starting point is 00:14:34 Maybe. Maybe the police officer would have said, hey, it's Cher. And she's really pissed. And okay, I'll get up often. And as a side note, I keep watching the video of of Derek Chauvin,
Starting point is 00:14:47 the police officer, former police officer. who was on the neck of George Floyd, and I'm just reminded how horrible that looks. And it was horrible, and how bad and how we were all on the same page, and it shouldn't have happened, and it was just bad. And it was just, we were all there, and yet it didn't matter because it was a racist thing,
Starting point is 00:15:10 and all white people are bad. Okay, you got me. You know what? I liked it. And now we've gotten to the point where we have to stick up for the cop because George Floyd was on drugs and he did and he did those drugs and that's what killed him.
Starting point is 00:15:26 I mean, that's the case that they were presenting and that's the case we have to be presented with and we see footage of him, you know, saying some of the stuff that he was saying when the knee was on his neck. It's the whole thing is just horrific. But when I have to stick up for Cher, because she, you know, tweeted that
Starting point is 00:15:42 and people are like, ooh, it's the YT, white savior complex for me. There's still time to delete this. this one commenter wrote. Another said, George Floyd's murder isn't about you. Well, she's tweeting and she's sheer,
Starting point is 00:15:55 so of course it's about her. Whoever watches it makes it about them. That's the horrificness of this stupid thing. And one tweeter, this is significantly underplaying what witnesses who testified tried to do to stop his death. There have been multiple testimonies of everyone
Starting point is 00:16:12 from a firefighter to an MMA fighter to a senior man who attempted to defuse the situation. Singing songs doesn't erase race, racism, share, and then she's got the picture of a black girl with her hands in prayer mode. Stop talking. Well, okay, so we just want to be quiet. You want to silence everyone that's white, right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Yes. Okay. I just, you know, she was just commenting about it. We all would, we would all like to believe that maybe we could have done something, which I doubt, because the police were, you know, the police are in their police. If you ever seen police in the middle of a, of an action, they're not, they're not listening to someone on the sidewalk saying,
Starting point is 00:17:01 stop doing what you're doing. You can't breathe. Stop it. I mean, they're trying to, you know, take care of the situation. And you just need to be over there and shut up. That's what the police do, which is, you know, sometimes a little agonizing.
Starting point is 00:17:12 But maybe if Cher was there, something could have happened. Maybe. I don't know. what if Derek Chauvin looked up and saw Share and said, oh my gosh, Cher is here. I'm going to have to do something. I mean, what if? What if?
Starting point is 00:17:30 I can't believe I'm sticking up for Cher. Because, you know, it's doubtful. But, I mean, maybe if LeBron was there, maybe if someone was there that wasn't just the guy on the street corner hollering at the police, maybe it could have changed the outcome. There are a lot of things that could have happened. that could have changed the outcome of George Floyd's death. But we just want to deny, deny, deny, and divide, divide, divide.
Starting point is 00:17:58 And I get it. I mean, that's where we're at in today's world. But not everyone is there. Okay? Not everyone is there. And we heard Charles Barkley this weekend at the Final Four show talk about the division and what he believes. And I just want to say, amen.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Yeah, but the one thing I took out of the piece was, man, I think most white people and black people are great people. I really believe that in my heart. But I think our system is set up where our politicians, whether they're Republicans or Democrats, are designed to make us not like each other. so they can keep their grasp of money and power. They divide and conquer.
Starting point is 00:18:50 I truly believe in my heart. Most white people and black people are awesome people. But we're so stupid following our politicians, whether they are Republicans or Democrats. And their only job is, hey, let's make these people not like each other. We don't live in their neighborhoods. We're all got money. Let's make the whites and blacks not like each other. Let's make rich people and poor people not like each other.
Starting point is 00:19:14 like each other. Let's scramble the middle class. I truly believe that in my heart. A. Man, Charles Barkley. And he, of course, like I said, was talking at the NCAA Final Four show. And so we have the championship, for those of you listening live today on the 5th of April 2021, we have the NCAA Men's championship as March Madness comes to an end against Tonight is Gonzaga, Gonzaga versus Baylor. And boy, Gonzaga and UCLA game Saturday night was awesome. That ended, I mean, right down to the last second, the final three-point. It was really exciting.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Probably, you know, it'll go down as one of the, you know, a great, greatest game ever. UCLA and Gonzaga, both top seeds. It was great to watch that game. And then, of course, we had Stanford winning the women's title. You didn't watch the women's championship? What? Yeah. Yeah, Stanford, the number one seed in the women's tournament, one of those number one seats,
Starting point is 00:20:29 beat Arizona, which was a number three seed. By one point, it was a riveting 54 to 53 game, and, man, it was exciting. You didn't see it? Yeah, neither did I. Major League Baseball said it's moving the All-Star game out of Atlanta. If you haven't heard, you know that they are saying that that's over the state's new voting rights bill. Well, they don't even really know what they're talking about. But they've got a long list of companies beating up Georgia and Governor Kemp said he's not going to back down from the fight.
Starting point is 00:21:04 And they're drafting a bill now to remove the league's antitrust exemption. Good for Major League Baseball. I don't know. If Major League Baseball is, I don't know what they're doing, to be honest with you. I don't quite understand the move here. They've got teams all over the country in states that have a lot worse and really bad voting rights than Georgia. And I guess maybe it's just a way that they're not going to have the All-Star game anymore. Maybe this is their way to get rid of the All-Star game.
Starting point is 00:21:36 But it makes a lot of money for the cities that host the All-Star game. Star game. It's, you know, it makes a lot of money for, you know, out of sponsorship money. It's just something that's really strange. I'm not quite sure I understand why Major League Baseball is doing it. But okay. And then you have the Masters starting off this Thursday, which everyone is trying to, you know, get them to, you know, stop and pull out and all the sponsors because it's in Georgia and it's golf and it's the Masters. So, you know, we had plenty of people that think that it's called the Masters because of white slave owners, which is not true, by the way. And there's plenty of news about the Georgia voting rights bill that not true full of lies. So we'll just see. Masters says, yeah, no, we're fine.
Starting point is 00:22:30 We're doing it right here. Everything is fine. Now, I spent the weekend digging through my baseball and football cards. Every time I see one of these stories, I think I've got to go through these cars. I've got to go through them. I've been starting separating them, and I'm trying to go through them and look at them because a Tom Brady rookie card just sold. This is the second one that sold in a while.
Starting point is 00:23:00 This one sold for $2.25 million. Oh, my God. Gosh. And another one of the rookie cards sold to the Fitbit CEO for $1.32 million. Oh, my gosh. And I look at this card and I'm like, I think I have this card. I really, honestly, I believe I have this card. So I've got, I mean, hello, this could be at my actual retirement plan. Because if that's not it, then I'm, I could be out on the street corner. So anyway, it's a An anonymous bidder
Starting point is 00:23:42 and buyer walked off with the prize. There were 67 bids that were recorded for this card and this guy or person or persons walked away with the rare Tom Brady rookie card
Starting point is 00:24:00 2.25 million dollars. Please. let me have this card. Let me find this card in my collection. Please. You know I am not going to find it. You know I don't have it.
Starting point is 00:24:19 It's going to be, the answer to that is going to be, oh yeah, no, Jeff, you were just dreaming. So let's go to the break room and stop my daydream on having the Tom Brady rookie card and get something cold to drink,
Starting point is 00:24:34 shall we? But that is good. You know, I've talked about it before, but when I lived in Pennsylvania and worked in New York City in Manhattan, I took the train in and out of the city every day. I took usually New Jersey Transit, but sometimes we took Amtrak. But it's part of the deal. And we talked last week about the Amtrak's new 2035 vision, which will work great as long as Congress provides. provides the funding. So, no problem.
Starting point is 00:25:16 It isn't a 2035 vision with them creating jobs and creating trains and creating rides so that people want to ride it and then that gives them the money to pay for their vision. No, it's you and I just paying for their vision so that they can create some jobs and improve the quality of life and reduce carbon emissions and generate economic growth. Oh. Oh, okay. According to Amtrak's vision to grow rail service and connect new city pairs across America, it rises to the urgent challenges of our time. So let's just hope that President Biden's American jobs plan and his plan for infrastructure investment and economic recovery, climate change, and social equity.
Starting point is 00:26:04 And that extra $80 billion designated specifically for rail helps to get Amtrak's 2035. vision on the way, shall we? Let's just hope that that actually happens. Well, Jim Acosta from CNN, which is just a, he's a tremendous personality for the country, is, was whining about wanting high speed rail and Wi-Fi on his train. Because, you know, that's why they're all for this, they all ride the trains in the Northeast. Everybody rides the train. That's how they get around.
Starting point is 00:26:39 That's how you get around if you live there. I mean, that gets you into the big cities, and that's how you do it. So they all care about the infrastructure deal that's going to get trains on the road to recovery. Well, I don't know if you know this, but there's only so many train tracks. So some of them are still going to have to be designated for high speed rail. They're not just going to build new tracks because they're already through neighborhoods and areas that aren't going to do it, unless you build, you know, upper level, which could possibly do it. but you aren't going to do that for $80 billion.
Starting point is 00:27:13 They'll be asking for more money if they're going to do that. But Jim just wants to have high-speed train in this country. And he also wants to be able to get hooked up to Wi-Fi when he rides the train and not have a problem. Jim, what do you think? Are you that dumb? Well, don't answer that, Jim, don't answer that. You know, for a long time, we had, you know, internet sticks that you could plug into your laptops. But then, you know, what we, what happened was, and here's the deal.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Cell phone companies went, hey, you know, we could, we could make the phones a hot spot. And then, you know, they could get people the internet. So you don't really need the trains special Wi-Fi to be online, Jim. We all worked online on the New Jersey transit trains that didn't have Wi-Fi because we had our own. phone Wi-Fi is just agonizing to me. You know what else is agonizing? I'm seeing more and more stories from celebrities that I feel are just not true. Maybe I don't want to call them 100% lies because they may be an, you know, an exaggeration of a story that, uh,
Starting point is 00:28:38 You know, the story is based, you know what it is? It's a story based on a true story. It's based on a true story, but we've, we've changed a few things here or there. You know, I love that about shows based on a true story. So I read, I see, let's see, we've got Dennis Rodman, we got Kate Winsland, we got Margaret Cho, we got another Sharon Stone story I got to talk about. So Dennis Rodman, he did an interview on the breakfast, show. That's the only show that, you know, they, they get some of the big stars in America today.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Okay. But so, you know, good for them. Good for them. They had Dennis Rodman on. And he talked about his rough life. His mother kicked him out when he was 18. He had to survive on his own. He had some friends with help from friends. He stayed out of trouble, never got into drugs. Uh-huh. But, you know, Then he, you know, played in the NBA. And he, you know, was a tremendous professional basketball player and was a huge star. And I think what they said, a five-time NBA champion? Tremendous, right? So he says a story on this show that talked about when he was a kid.
Starting point is 00:29:58 He was beaten up and threatened for dating a white girl. He said that he was seeing a white girl when two white girls. when two white men took him and a little white boy he was hanging out with to the park. He was beaten up, thrown against a tree. One of the guys beating him up, put a shotgun to his head and said he'll kill him the next time he sees him with a white girl. The little girl and the little, and the girlfriend and the little guy was also threatened. Okay. So he says, you know, racism was prevalent when he was growing up.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I don't believe it. You know, it says here that he began to cry. Now, I didn't hear the entire interview, but it says, you know, he began to cry. So it was clearly very traumatizing event. All right. I just want to say that I don't believe that story. All right. So Dennis Rodman, who is 59 years old, all right?
Starting point is 00:30:55 That means that he was growing up. He was a little kid in the 60s. So when he was 18, that's what? In the mid to late 70s? right so I don't buy it I'm sorry the guy is 6-7
Starting point is 00:31:12 as an adult male so by the time he's a teenager he's a big man he's already a big kid all right and so he has a shotgun pulled on him and gets beaten up
Starting point is 00:31:24 for dating a white girl and being with a little white kid no was where they hollered and do they holler at him and scream at him maybe that's why I think the story has
Starting point is 00:31:34 evolved into, you know, I was beaten up and they pulled a shotgun on me. Okay. So I'm not saying that he's lying. I'm just saying the story has evolved. Kate Winslet in a story in an interview says that she knows at least four actors hiding their sexuality due to homophobia in Hollywood. I don't believe it. In today's world, someone in Hollywood is hiding their homosexuality.
Starting point is 00:32:04 sexuality? No. No, no, no, no, no. I do not buy it. Now, she said that she knows at least four actors, closeted actors, who fear for their career if they come out. I cannot tell you the number of young actors I know, some well-known, some starting out, who are terrified their sexuality will be revealed, and that it will stand in the way of their being cast in straight roles. Now, that's effed up. I'm telling you. A well-known actor has just got an American agent and an agent said, I understand you're bisexual. I wouldn't publicize that. I could think of at least four actors absolutely hiding their sexuality. It's painful because they fear being found out. And that's what they say. I don't want to be found out. Okay. All right. No, Kate, I don't believe it. I'll believe it.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Not in today's world. Nope, sorry. Don't believe it. Now, does an agent say to someone who they want to represent, hey, you know, maybe you don't want to say anything about your bisexuality. Okay. So that doesn't mean that they're hiding it. It just means don't say it. You can be bisexual.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Nobody gives a crap. Not in today's world. Nobody cares. But just don't you don't need to promote it. Don't say it. Is that hiding it? I guess in today's world it is Unless I can shout it from the mountain tops
Starting point is 00:33:33 To everybody that's walking on the street I guess that that means I'm hiding it Okay, but I'm sorry In today's world, no, sorry. Sorry, Kate. Nice story, good story. I think you've, you know, I think you've stretched the truth. I think it's based on a true story.
Starting point is 00:33:53 That's what I think. I think it's based on a true story. It's just changed it as it goes. Margaret Trill says, it's really scary being Asian. That, I believe, is true coming from her. But I think the rest of it is based
Starting point is 00:34:07 on a true story. I'm scared to go out. As an older Asian woman, it's hard out there for people like me. It's really scary. I believe that. And I don't want that for anyone. I don't think anyone should be scared to go out and walk the streets.
Starting point is 00:34:24 No matter who they are, what race, whatever, they shouldn't do it. But she says that she was born in San Francisco now, lives in L.A., and she feels like a target, and specifically discussed the role of white supremacy, how that plays in relationship between black and Asian minority groups. Now, even though there are instances of black on Asian violence, it's still because of white supremacy, she said, Margaret, you are so much,
Starting point is 00:34:56 at least I thought you were smarter than that. I thought you were smarter than that. I really did. You're still going to spin it. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that the facts don't hold you out for that. But it's still based on white supremacy. We're put together from this idea of the myth of the model minority.
Starting point is 00:35:16 And that statement is such a damaging one to be a model minority because it makes it seem like other minorities are not the model. It pits us against each other as if our value is our relationship, to the white patriarchy. Oh, okay. There it is. So it pits you because it's the white supremacist that made you be the model minority or call you that. Margaret, come on now.
Starting point is 00:35:42 I mean, I know you want to always have the narrative. I mean, talk about only having the narrative. My gosh. When you look at what happened on Friday with the Capitol police officers, being injured and killed. And also the suspect was killed on the scene. And we are still, you know, it's immediately white supremacists that caused it. It doesn't really work because the guy was African American.
Starting point is 00:36:14 He was a black guy. He was a big believer in Lewis Farrakhan. And he believed that the U.S. government was the number one enemy of black people. so that white supremacy thing really doesn't work. Does it? No, no, it doesn't. And of course this brings on, you know, where we have to have increased security at the Capitol and Washington, D.C.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Because they're struggling right now to meet existing mission requirements. Oh, okay. All right. Oh, by the way, for you people that are talking, talking about gun control really doesn't work either because he had a knife and a car. Oh, yeah, so it really doesn't work with the whole, with the whole gun thing. However, if you want to spin it like Margaret Cho and her white supremacist is still, you know, the, the agents are getting beat up by African Americans, but it's because of white supremacy.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Wait, what? Ilan Amar, Representative U.S. Congressperson Ilan Amar, said that the death toll would have been worse if the assailant had an AR-15 instead of a knife.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Really? So we're still going after, we're still going to push gun control because, my gosh, if there to have been a gun, the death-thole would have been worse. Really? I'd like to,
Starting point is 00:37:47 hey, I'd like to hear about that argument as well because where the, crash happened and the officers were those barriers are quite a ways away and have been there for quite some time so i don't know that there were a lot of people around to that would have been harmed if he would have actually had an ar-15 but since he didn't and all he had was a knife the only people that had guns were the capital police and they used them good and it's very sad that one of them was killed and one of them was really injured and it's a horrific thing. But it's not white supremacy and it's not about guns.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Okay. Okay. It's based on a true story though. Yeah, it's based on a true story. And I told you last week, Sharon Stone, what are you doing? You already got me. You hooked me. I'm going to read your book, all right, but I don't know. If I see another story about what's in the book, I might not get it. I don't think there's another story that can be told. This latest story this weekend was how she would put tinfoil over hotel windows after Mick Jagger told her it would help her sleep. She said my room was a tomb.
Starting point is 00:39:09 And she said that she covered her hotel windows with tinfoil because Jagger said, hey, it will help you sleep. And that's the only way you can get a decent amount of sleep while you're on the road. So she said, my room was a tomb. I'd come in and fall on the bed fully clothed. And my cat would wrap its claws around my head and I would just pass out. Oh, okay. And that's a good thing, I guess?
Starting point is 00:39:39 Yes. Yes, it is. All right. So Mick believes in putting tinfoil on the windows and that helps you sleep. Okay. All right. She's already talked about surviving her stroke. and the brain hemorrhage, which was horrible, but she said that, you know, now that she feels that,
Starting point is 00:39:57 uh, uh, you know, it's good and she's okay with dying because she's back and she feels like a different person and life is good. And she, after she had the hemorrhage, she said she waited three days until she went to the hospital. Wow. I mean, she is really lucky to be alive. But remember last week and a week and a half ago, she's, been telling us stories from her book, the memoir. She's been saying that she, a doctor put bigger boobs in her without her consent during a surgery. She was duped into spreading her legs in basic instinct and then decided, oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:40:41 Yeah. Go ahead. She, what was the other one? She had the stroke. She was duped into spreading her legs. She got the boob job. from the dock. Now she's put tinfoil over her windows. I feel like there was one more that was in the book. But I, you know, these stories are great, but I mean, can there be any more? Can there be any more?
Starting point is 00:41:08 Oh yeah, that was the one where she talked about how the, how the guy wanted her to have sex, right? And that was still with basic instinct. That was before the leg spreading incident where she talked about the producer. said, you know, you really ought to sleep with one of the co-stars, who she didn't name, and she didn't name the producer, but used the context of the producer, was walking around his office, dropping chocolate, malted milk balls on the floor from his carrying case. So everyone in Hollywood knows who that person is. If you work in Hollywood and have worked, made movies, you know who this guy is because he's, you know, that's, that was the clue, right?
Starting point is 00:41:47 He's the guy that is always walking around with his malted milk balls. So I just, I mean, I need a reason to buy your book, Sharon. You're telling me all the stories. Now I want to talk to her. I want to interview her because I want to find out what happened to the doc after giving her the boob job without her consent. And I want to know if there's any other stories. I don't want her to tell me any of you.
Starting point is 00:42:09 I want her to elaborate on the stories she's already told. And then just tell me why, yes, there are other inside stories too in the book. But I bet that these are all of them. The rest of it is all. her recuperating from the stroke. And, I mean, she had to become a whole new person with it. And that may be interesting enough in itself. But, you know, come on.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Ease up on the story, Sharon. I'm confused. Why would you go to Disney World and then refuse to do what you know you have to do to get into Disney World and be a part of it? I didn't say, you know, I don't necessarily agree with everything Disney is doing. you must wear a mask, it doesn't matter who you are. They have temperature checks all around. I mean, that's part of the deal there.
Starting point is 00:43:08 But you agree to it, right? You spend the money to go to Disney World, and that is the deal. So, according to this story, a guy spent 15,000 to visit Disney World with his kids and his family, and then refused to, for a temperature check, and argued with them, and then gets kicked out. And the whole time he's saying, I spent 15,000. you can't kick me out you can bring me to jail and fine so I don't
Starting point is 00:43:35 I don't understand there was another story not long ago where someone one of the one actor was pissed because one of his kids didn't wear a mask or something and they said no you can't you know you got to leave you know if they're not wearing the mask
Starting point is 00:43:52 you got to leave and he was and he was you know upset and hollering at him I mean that's the deal right you agreed to it if you don't don't like it, don't go. I just, I'm really, I'm really confused. So apparently, uh, they've given him, uh, his, uh, trespass Warren or whatever.
Starting point is 00:44:11 And he is banned from all Disney properties. Okay. Is that what you wanted? Is that what you wanted? And good luck getting your money back. Not a chance, my friend. I guarantee you that. You might get a couple of bucks back.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Maybe for Disney to say, here you go. Never come back. take care but I know that there's been you know a bunch of stories of disobedient Disney guests I guess they just want to push the limits and you can't tell me what to do well guess what they can't so get over it you know speaking to Disney I saw a story where a hotel in Kissimmee which is right there on the I mean that's the part of Orlando Greater Orlando area in fact that's the home of Gator World Gator Land my favorite place in the world.
Starting point is 00:44:59 One of my favorite places in the world, Gatorland in Kissimmee, Florida. But it's right there on the border. Anyway, anyway. So this Champions World Resort in because I mean, that's where people go to stay. If you're visiting, you know, the Orlando area, the greater Orlando area.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Apparently, they had customers and the company sold the world resort and then they just kicked everybody out. I had a hundred guests. No, it's time for you to go. The place sold. All the employees have been fired. And there's no refunds right now.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Goodbye. Get out. Wait. What? Yeah, we're putting cones up in the parking lot. And we're having security there. The building's been sold. The website shut down.
Starting point is 00:45:47 There's no more employees. And goodbye. Have a nice day. I don't even know if they were told to have a nice day. So a new company bought it. and shut it down. I don't know that you get away with that. The people are going to need to get their money back, I believe.
Starting point is 00:46:03 And, you know, we'll see if that, you know, holds up with just kicking people out. Yeah, no, it's, sorry. It's, sure, yeah, we were a place that, you know, was a resort. And we're just going to turn it into apartments now, probably. Oh, really? Yeah. That's what they're guessing is that they're, They're just turning it into an apartment complex or condominiums.
Starting point is 00:46:29 I mean, it was a big place. They had 435 rooms, a conference center, multiple pools, sports fields, full service, restaurants. Shut down. And you, 100 people that were staying here, get out. Employees, you're fired. Boy, that would really suck if you were there. You can quote me on that. That would really suck.
Starting point is 00:46:52 another thing that would really suck is that this is a big guy story so if you got me on speaker think about that this is a big guy story I've given you a warning this is a big guy story here on chewing the fat there was a boy in a rock
Starting point is 00:47:08 allegedly born with three man parts according to this he was the first child ever proven to have the strange what they call a deformity of three man parts now they say that this
Starting point is 00:47:22 was, you know, two of the three didn't work. So they removed two of the three. If you're, you know, later on down the road, do you think to yourself, oh, man, I had three? I mean, you'll, you cost a kid some money-making opportunities. So according to this story, doctor said one in every five to six million boys
Starting point is 00:47:52 are born with more than one man part. 100 cases of two recorded worldwide. This was the first of the three recorded. And so, you know, I'm just saying, I'm just saying perhaps the doctors should have thought a little bit down the road. You know, this was a way for this. person to have some extra income being that, you know, I don't know what the parents do.
Starting point is 00:48:30 I don't know what they do. I don't know what kind of professions they are. You know, he's a curd from Newark. We first heard about it now. The kid was three months old. So is it possible that, you know, this could have been a good money-making opportunity? You tell me.
Starting point is 00:48:49 You tell me. I know. I'm sorry.
