Coming to a restaurant row near you soon. Taco Bell, opening a digital-only restaurant in Times Square, you know, kind of digital, because you're still going to be able to get booze there from real people. So they're going to open up a Taco Bell where you can get booze, but it also is going to be a digital-only fast food joint, except you're going to be able to have to go to a bartender, the human that's waiting at the counter to give you the booze.

Not quite sure. So you place your orders and you pay at one of the 10 kiosks, and opposite the kiosk stands a wall of locked cubbies that dispense the tacos, burritos, and chips and fries. The kubbies, you know, look like the automats. that we used to see in movies from the 50s. So you can see they've got the open kitchen. So you can see everything getting made

and you can see them being put in their little heated cubbies. And then the light comes up pink and you type in your little order number on the touchscreen and the door opens, hopefully. Now, they're still going to have a human being there, as I said, because the human being will take your orders and accept payments. and also, you know, serve you the drinks and check IDs.

You're going to be able to get beer on tap, twisted freezes with rum, tequila, or vodka, as well as white claw drinks. So, you know, okay, I guess it's kind of cool. You know, if it was all automated, okay. But still, I'd be interested to see if the person, I wonder if the person beyond the counter if you go up and say yeah I'd like 10 tacos and a couple orders of cheese fries I wonder if the combine in the car you have to use one of the

kiosks I can't take your order here all I do is take if you want do you want a drink do you want a beer you want a white claw no you want just want a soda yeah you got to get that through the kiosk that might be a little frustrating just a tad frustrating but it sounds as if Taco Bell is going to start bringing their digital

only fast food joint and bar around America. So we'll see if it works out in Times Square or not. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So we lost it. I know. I know.

It's a sad day. For those of you listening live on the 14th of April 2021, Bernie Madoff passed away today. He was 82. years of age. I mean, it's possible I should have done a retro form. I mean, uh, Bernard Maydall,

whose name became synonymous with, synonymous, can't even speak. Whose name became synonymous with financial fraud died while serving a 150 year sentence in federal prison. I mean, in February,

of last year, Last year, he petitioned the court for an early release from prison, stating he had terminal kidney failure and a life expectancy of less than 18 months. But the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York said crime that Bernie did was unprecedented in scope and magnitude and is sufficient reason to deny his request. I mean, it was only a $20 billion Ponsie scream. It was only the largest financial fraud in history. So they originally imposed the 150 year sentence, denied the actual, the original judge,

Denny Chin, who was the original judge who imposed the 150 year sentence, denied the request for release, calling his crime one of the most egregious financial crimes of our time and one that continued to take staggering human toll. Yeah, no kidding. The symbolism of a 150-year sentence was important, and I don't necessarily disagree.

Bernie, up until his death, lived with guilt and remorse for his crimes, Did he? Okay. We shall see. He was famously delivering astronomical returns for his investors, which included Stephen Spielberg, Kevin Bacon, Kara Sedgwick, New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon. He served as chairman of the NASDAQ for several years. I mean, I just read a story about his wife.

She's living, I think, in, I want to say New Jersey. Jersey and some in some apartment complex and she only a few people know you know who she is and her life is just completely turned upside down. We'll see. It was just an amazing thing. Anyway, he died and his brother made up Bernie's brother Peter also served 10 years for his involvement in the scheme. He was let out, you know, eight or nine years ago.

So Bernie was, I mean, well, Bernie was the mastermind. So Bernard Madoff, synonymous with financial fraud, died in federal prison in Butner, North Carolina at the federal medical center. Dead at the age of 82. The cause of death was not released. You know, I wonder if they could say it was COVID. because I see where FEMA is accepting applications for up to $9,000 for COVID-19 funeral expenses. So if they say it has anything to do with COVID, they might get some help.

The family might get a little help for the funeral. They give a number to call. Here's a hotline for you. And this is their hotline from this story, 844-684-6333, to apply up to $9,000 in assistance per burial. Now, FEMA has aided families with disaster-related burial costs in the past. COVID-19 effort is the largest of its type. Some $2 billion was allocated as part of the $900 billion relief deal that Congress approved in December. and while we have the $1.9 trillion package that, you know, last month,

bolstered it by providing the agency with an additional $50 billion to use for coronavirus-related costs. Wow. So to qualify, the death must have occurred in the U.S. or its territories. Bernie did. Funeral expenses must have been incurred after January 20, 2020, which they will. The death certificate must indicate that the death was attributed to or likely caused by COVID-19 or coronavirus-like symptoms. So you've got to get that taken care of, Madoffs. You've got to make sure that the prison locks that in.

And maybe the prison will. Because if the prison has to bury them, I mean, they call it COVID and they get the relief, right? Now, prisons wouldn't lie about something like that. That's just dumb of me to think that something like that would actually have. happen. But anyway, you have 562,000 people at the time of this story have died from COVID-19 in the United

States. Wow. I don't even want to look at the numbers now. I mean, we haven't looked at the COVID-19 numbers in quite some time. Maybe we'll give a look at them. Let's see. Wow. So we've got 138 million, 344,573, coronavirus cases around the world. 2,977,136 deaths around the world. Let's take a look at the United States of America, shall we? According to this, the USA has 57,273 deaths.

Wow. So that's pretty close. This story said, what, 567. It's 562. So, I mean, obviously more people have died since the writing of this story. So you still have an opportunity to get $9,000 in assistance per burial from FEMA from COVID-related death. So it'd be interesting to see what they tag Bernie Madoff's death as down there at the Federal Medical Center in the prison at Butner, North Carolina. Yeah.

Wonder what they'll say was the cause of his death. Hmm. Hmm. You know, speaking of prisons and, you know, being unhealthy in prison, I told you they were having the big deal about Harvey Weinstein trying to, you know, get him to California from New York. I mean, he's serving his 23-year sentence in New York. And I said that they had postponed it last time when L.A. was trying to get him.

and I said that they would probably, you know, postpone it again. They did until the end of the month. Apparently, Harvey is going blind and has lost several teeth behind bars. Remember he had the COVID scare and the sickness in prison? So he is fighting that extradition to Los Angeles on the fresh sex crimes indictment. And apparently, the L.A. attorney. filled out the paperwork wrong as well. Really, really incredible.

He said that, he said that, hey, you know, the new paperwork says a, was part of the felony complaint number, but this is a new indictment. So that means it's a new case number, and that should be on the papers. So I don't even have their paperwork right. And so the Erie County Assistant DA scolded EFman, the attorney. for Weinstein for not raising the paperwork issues sooner. No. That's he's doing his job.

Good job. That's what's supposed to happen. It's called representing your client. Because they're saying oh hey, it's humanitarian to all people involved, including the victims in this case, is that the crime, that the

time is of the essence. Maybe for you. It's not of the evidence of Harvey. I'll tell you that. He's already trying to, you know, get himself out of jail for the judge doing wrong things to him on this case. I don't want to go to L.A. So anyway, they're going to rule

they gave him another week or so and they're going to file on the motion to challenge the extradition on April 30th. And then he's going to probably, you know, if it works out, he's still going to need help from Governor Cuomo.

Good luck. Good luck getting help from him, Harvey. No way. he's got enough heat on him he starts giving you help man you want to talk about heat on Harvey Weinstein you are talking some big trouble so apparently

Harvey is not doing well at all I told you that he's going blind he needs an eye operation he's scheduled for dental procedures incredible he's lost teeth prison is unhealthy you can quote me on this prison is unhealthy

And you know, I don't think it matters what state you're in. Prison is unhealthy. Now, regular prison I'm talking about, not jail and not, you know, the little minimum security places, but prison. Hardcore prison that's unhealthy. I don't think it matters what state you're in. I see where states have been ranked in a new U-gov poll. And what started there was I see a story that New Jersey is peev about their wrong. ranking in this poll.

So maybe you ought to think about making your state better. But that's just a thought. They were ranked 48th, 48th, according to this new poll. So all 50 states were shown in addition to Washington, D.C., but territories were not included. They asked people to choose the better. of two states in a series of head-to-head matchups. States are rated based on their win percentage. That is how often that state won the head-to-head matchup

when it was one of two states shown. Hawaii, which is well known for its beautiful beaches and warm weather, took the top spot by winning 69% of its matchups with its scenic mountains, hiking paths, and recreational marijuana industry, Colorado took second place with 65% of the matches won. Now, some of this, like Hawaii, you can't even go visit that state now unless you stay 10 days or you're vaccinated,

unless you know, you've got to stay away from all humans for 10 days or be vaccinated now. So that's kind of a pain to go there. But when you look at these rankings of states, pretty incredible. How they come along now. It talks about the number of people that they asked. Not very many. So 1,211 U.S. adults were asked to choose in this ranking. So, I mean, I guess it's okay from you, Gov.

But let's look at the rankings, shall we? So we talked about Hawaii and Colorado, one and two. So the top 10, the top 10 best states ranked according to this poll. coming in at number 10, Texas. Number nine, Georgia. Wow, that might be, that might change depending on when did they do this. Yeah, March 12th through the 15th. So things may have changed in that time.

So, I mean, you know, we'll see. We'll see. I would be interested to see if this was done again right now, how these states would be ranked. So Texas number 10, Georgia, number nine. York number eight. I think these states are standing on there past laurels, man. Arizona, number seven.

Florida, number six. North Carolina, number five. Nevada, number four. Virginia, number three in Colorado and Hawaii are around out the top. That's two and number one. Pretty incredible. But states like New York and, Georgia.

They're living on past laurels, man. I don't know. I don't know. We'll see. Now, what New Jersey was mad about is that they were 48th. That's awesome. So only Mississippi, which I love Mississippi and Alabama, those two states are beautiful. Wow, 49th and 50th.

That's pretty amazing. I could live in Mississippi and Alabama if I had to. you know, I didn't say I wanted to, but I could live there. I like them. They're beautiful states. They're actually, Alabama and Mississippi both were so much more, so much better than I thought. When I ended up going into those states, you know, and you start traveling around and you start saying, wow, this is, this isn't bad. This isn't bad at all.

Same with Missouri, 43rd Missouri. There's been a lot of time in Missouri. It's a lot better. You know another state is better than a, and I'm going to say this out loud. and I won't admit this, really, but is Oklahoma. Oklahoma ranked 35th. And I know, you know, if you're from Texas and your blood, Texas, you don't like Oklahoma. I mean, I have a friend, I've even been told this story before, but I have a friend that lives here in DFW who was born and raised in Texas.

He was born in Big Spring, Texas, out of West Texas. And he always talks about, he doesn't like living this close to Oklahoma because you can smell it. That, my friends, is a real Texan. But they were mad. New Jersey is 48. You're lucky to make 48th. And the bottom 10, let's see where we're at. All right, we got Kansas 41.

Yeah, Kentucky, Missouri, South Dakota, Indiana, Iowa, Arkansas. New Jersey. Arkansas is beautiful, too. New Jersey, Mississippi, Alabama, wow. And the rest of you are all in the middle, so get over it. You're like, yeah, okay, that's fine. No problem.

California is 12. Wow. These states are living on their future, in their past laurels, man. Pennsylvania? Yeah, I mean, if you're from Pennsylvania, incredible. Now, one of the things that they found in this study, when they asked people where, they were from and where they were living. So UGov asked respondents, regardless of where you live now, which state do you consider yourself to be from? And also, regardless of where you are from,

which state do you live in now? Americans chose their home state 77% of the time. Wow. And virtually the same as how often they selected their current state of residence, 79%. percent. Wow. So 79% of the people are living in the same state that they're from. That's pretty incredible. That's an interesting stat because, I mean, I was born and raised in Michigan. And I know that's my home state. And I guess it plays a, you know, a place in my heart.

But Florida, I would consider to be. from. You know, regardless where you're from, what state do you live now? I mean, I'm from Michigan. I live in Texas,

but I would really, I mean, I feel like Florida is my home state. I don't know. I don't know. You know, as my wife was born in Pennsylvania, and she, you know,

is all about Pennsylvania, no matter what. Any other state is not Pennsylvania, and why would people want to live in any other state? That's where she's at. So, and they are where, what did I say, 17th on the ranking of states in America. And Michigan is 20th.

Yeah. Wow. Florida is way up there, though, number six. Baby, I'm a little. Two states are strong in my heart, Florida and Texas. They're both in the top 10. Yeah, baby. Let's go to the break room.

I need something cold to drink. Desperately. Oh. Oh, my God. I don't know if I told you this before. but that is good. Just a reminder to subscribe to this podcast. If you're listening and you're not a subscriber,

who emailed me and said, you know, for the last several years, I've watched Pat Gray every morning, effectively making it part of my morning routine as important as my coffee. And I, you know, on behalf of Pat, Thank you. Every week I look forward to seeing you on the show on Wednesdays and Fridays, especially during football season.

Thank you again. I appreciate it. I've heard you plug Chewing the Fat for probably a few years now. And the last week, you successfully converted me from a lead to a new loyal listener. I listened to Chewing the Fat for the first time. I couldn't believe what I had been missing. See? Even Ethan knows.

he proceeded to go on a three-hour chewing the fat listening binge. I'm sorry about that. I have no control over that. There's a new show every day. Sometimes I even post one on Saturday. It's been a while. But I do post some stuff on my YouTube channel now on some of the off days of the podcast. So, you know, subscribe to the Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher YouTube channel as well.

And some of those interviews on my YouTube channel just live there. They don't live on this podcast. So anyway, thank you. Ethan. Thank you. It's very kind words and I really appreciate it. I also want to say thanks to Larry

who sent me an email Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com saying that it was a blast to meet me. He met me at Pat's cookie party. The grand opening this past weekend Kexi cookies. Now I'll read you the email

that Larry sent saying Sir Fisher, Jeffie if I may. Well, yeah, you can't. I mean, that's okay. It was a blast to meet you and the other two hangers on last Saturday. So he was there even when Stu was there. Stu didn't stay around very long.

Mr. Just stopped by to get some free cookies. But anyway, while you're not the God. Wait, I didn't see that part in this email. Whatever, Larry. You're still the entertainment and idea God to me. Okay. All right, fine. I'll let that one go.

I still want to be like, you when I grow up. No, you don't. I mean, I appreciate it and it's kind and that makes me feel good, but you don't. I listened to your podcast even back when you were still in Tampa, but I was glad when you made it to this side of the Gulf. And I really enjoyed getting to meet you and continue to pray for your health and future success. Thank you very much, Larry. I appreciate it. Thanks for coming to Kexie cookies, gecksy.com, and already been there so good. I said this morning on Pat show. I love the caramel kexie cookies, the scrumptious, total truly scrumptious

cookies. The caramel is and has been my favorite for since the beginning. But I had the hot chocolate cookie this weekend for the first time. It may have, I don't know, I don't know, it may have jumped to the lead. It is so good. That's got marshmallows on the top and this marshmallow center, which is so good. Oh my gosh. Now, if you're like

the one dingleberry that's one of the hangers-ons, you know, that goes by the name of stew that doesn't eat marshmallows. It's got something that's got so they come from it's made from animal bones. Okay, it's like animal dust. That's what

they make marshmallows out of. And I say, so? But if you have a problem with marshmallows, I get it, whatever, you're fine, you don't have to eat it, go to the caramel and just be happy with that. Okay? Okay. Anyway, I wanted to thank Ethan and Larry for the kind words in their emails. Thank you for the kind words. Thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat.

Thank you for subscribing. And for those of you, as this all started out, to make this come full circle, for those of you that are just sitting there, listening to the show and not being a subscriber, just freeload and stop being a freeloader and become a free-loading subscriber by subscribing to chewing the fat, okay? So Dante Wright. You know, I know that he died at the hands of police.

I get it. And it was horrible. We talked about it yesterday. Isn't it funny how we find out now that he had a warrant out for his arrest? And it was for aggravated robbery. choking and holding a woman at gunpoint for $820. He absolutely knew there was a rest warrant out for his arrest.

It wasn't just the air freshener hanging from his mirror, and it wasn't just for the out-of-date license plate, which, by the way, was, you know, you get pulled over for that. If you don't have any other warrants out for you, that's it, right? And it wasn't just for getting pulled over for that. He got shot for trying to run away, trying to resist arrest. I don't understand this thinking. And I know that our former president of the United States of America,

Barack Obama, called to reimagine policing after the death of Dante Wright. Oh, okay. All right. I mean, I know that he wants to reform policing and to combat systemic racism. Do you, Barack? And I know your hearts are heavy over yet another shooting of a black man.

Yes. All of our hearts are heavy. Nobody wants that to happen. But we don't want people who are going to be under arrest to not be arrested and run away. I'm sorry, we just don't. Don't resist arrest.

I just, I don't, I don't understand. I mean, maybe we should reimagine getting arrested. And let's rethink how people get arrested. Reimagine. Let's reimagine getting arrested without trying to resist that arrest and then going to jail and seeing the outcome after that. still being alive. Let's reimagine that.

Shall we, Barack? While we're reimagining, I don't know what made me think of this story, but I saw where Kelly Clarkson had revealed she once pooped in a trash can at one of her shows. I don't know what made me think of that story. For one minute I was talking about Barack Obama,

the next minute I'm thinking about Kelly Clarkson, you know, pooping in the trash can at one of her shows. I'm not sure how those really tie together, but they did. So she says that she had some kind of stomach issue that, you know, was wrecked up, according to Kelly. And from a meal that she had ended up running backstage to destroy the trash can. Now, look. Who hasn't gone to the bathroom?

I mean, I've been caught, you know, urinating live on the air on television, although if nobody had said anything, you wouldn't have known it was me. Right, I mean, I wasn't on the screen. If you look at that video, I'm being just called out, but there's no proof that it's actually me.

I mean, okay, afterward, after the case, I said it was me, but in the beginning, it really, no way to tell that it was me. Anyway. So this little story from Kelly, she's been going through, you know, some tough times with her divorce,

kids, TV show, and she's, you know, doing a little get-to-know-me stories like this. I don't know if get-to-know-me stories like this goes over well or not, because I always thought that,

you know, Drew Barrymore was going to take over the talk show world for Ellen because Ellen is struggling man Ellen is starting to really struggle so we'll see but they are really pushing Kelly and her you know down homesiness and we'll see how she comes out of the out of the divorce because if they come out of the divorce you know still struggling it's going to be trouble so as you know a couple times a week I come in and here at the Mercury Studios, Blaise Radio Network Studios,

because it's Wednesday, and I come in and do chewing the fat on Pac-Rae unleashed. So, you know, there are other humans that stumble around this building from time to time. And, oh, look,

one of them just stumbled in now. Still, Brigere. I was just talking about you, as a matter of fact, a little bit ago. I don't recall what. But so I see your little promotion for,

you're having some anniversary for your show. Yeah, the 250th, anniversary. 250th anniversary. Yes, pretty big deal, huh? I mean, you know. That's huge.

Yeah. That's huge. I remember what I did my 250. It's 250th episode, anniversary of the, of the studio show, Studez America. Studez America. Where we're going to be doing a power hour. Now, of course, you will remember this from your previous days of just egregious drinking and drugging.

There was a number of days like that, that's for sure. But power hour is you do one shot of beer. every minute for an hour. Okay. And so it doesn't seem like it would be difficult because any time you're doing a shot of beer, what is that? Right. It's like a sip.

However, when you try to do 60 of them in 60 minutes, it winds up being something like seven and a half beers in 60 minutes, which is, you know, a decent amount of alcohol. Every minute that comes around fast. You're not just doing that at your own pace. And it starts to just like, it's one of the biggest problems with it. There's just too many bubbles. Like, I mean, it's hard to drink seven carbonated beverages in an hour.

So many jobs. With that line, too many bubbles. Too many bubbles. Let them go. So we're going to do that. And the key to this here is it's not just us drinking because while that would be fun for us. Would you say us? Oh, yeah.

Sorry. Me, Chad Prather. Sarah Gonzalez will be there. So Chad is still going to involve himself with your show? I'm running for governor? I think this is the most fascinating part of this. Because on the power hour, we did a 100th anniversary power hour. And the first time we did it.

And I asked Chad on the show. I'm like, you're not really. running for governor. He's, I guess I am. I am. Again, he's throwing back shots of beer and it looks like an idiot and he later vomited in the middle of the show. Like any good governor would. Right, like any good governor would. And I was like, well, you know, look, he's going to be now.

Now he's moving towards us. It seems like he's really doing it. He's not going to want to come on and do the power hour now. He's good. No, he's like, absolutely, I'm in. Like, no hesitation. I guess this is his path to the governor's mansion. Wow. So Spencer Cors will be there. Jason Butcher will be there.

We would invite Jeffie because I think you would be a great power hour. I do not want your pity offer. No, but you've told me many times you are, you're in for a marathon, not a sprint. That's correct. That's a sprint. This is a little sprinting for your taste, I feel like. Now we are going to be. I really had to do with food and not drinking, but same thing.

Same thing. For the 1,000th anniversary, we're going to be doing a power hour except with shots of heroin. So I thought for that I'm in. I'm in. Now let's get to that show production right now. All right, Stu, I know you're walking around, stumbling around the building and you've got an interview with some other Dingleberry that apparently thinks he runs the network.

I know. I don't know who is this some guy. But I will tell you, it's Friday night, 9 p.m. Eastern on YouTube on YouTube channel, Stu Does America. Make sure you subscribe over there if you can or if you're on podcast here, you can subscribe. We'll probably release it on audio,

although it is a little magical on TV. It's one you might want to watch. You lose something without the video. Yeah, but either way, check it out because it's going to be a lot of fun. And we're going to make complete idiots of ourselves attempting to talk politics and real issues as we get slower. Drunker and drunker and drunk. Possible governor of the great state of Texas. There you go.

Drunk out of his mind. Should be fun. That's a sad state of affairs, I'll tell you. Did you see the new TV show? Unicorn Hunters featuring Steve Wozniak. It's going to allow viewers to invest in pre-IPO companies. It's going to spotlight up-and-coming growth companies looking to hit the billion-dollar unicorn valuation.

It's a new streaming TV series entitled Unicorn Hunters. The series has been described as a Shark Tank-style show by its creators. Well, yeah, I mean, they're going to promote it since Shark Tank is a huge show. when it's going to be on a number of streaming services, according to this. And it's going to debut the 10th of May 2021. So, you know, the difference, I guess, you know, Shark Tank has the sharks on the show that can invest in featured companies while Unicorn Hunters has viewers can get in on the investing. That's kind of cool.

If it, I don't know if you're going to see live investing. time how that's going to work out or if they're just going to run it on, you know, following shows. I'm interested to see how they're going to show you the sales pitch for investing. But you've got Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Sylvina Maschina and Alex Cognan King, co-founders of Transparent Business, and I know I butchered their names. Rosie Rios, U.S. Treasurer under the Obama administration. Amo Villa, who served under then Vice President Joe Biden as director of administration. And Lance Bass of the musical group NSYNC.

So, man, what a great lineup that is, huh? Anytime you can have ties with Barack Obama and Joe Biden, You are doing great. I like Wozniak, though. I mean, he's had some, you know, interesting idea. So we'll see how it goes. It'll be interesting to see if you can actually, you know, if they're going to get enough viewers to do it live

or how they're going to keep track on when the valuation for the unicorn hits the billion dollar mark. If they're going to say, hey, I think it's good and invest some of them. their money to give it a boost, which means that if they invest their money, you're going to want to follow suit. That would be interesting that maybe that's how they do it is. If they invest, then

that will make you want to invest because they're going to want it to succeed. Anyway, unicorn hunters coming on a streaming channel near you very soon. Speaking to Joe Biden, I see where a new

a new poll. A presidential election was a fraud-filled nightmare. A new Rasmussen report. Wow. 51% to 44%. Voters said it is likely that cheating affected the outcome. That included 74% of Republicans and 30% of, Democrats. Some 47% said it's likely Democrats stole or destroyed ballots for former President Donald Trump. That included 75% of Republicans and 30% of Democrats, and even 50% said that it is

unlikely ballots were destroyed. Interesting. Latest survey to show that much of the nation is stuck in neutral when it comes to moving past the 2020 election, especially Republicans. Well, Trump has done, according to this story, Trump has done little to show that much of the nation is stuck in neutral when it comes to moving past the 2020 election. Really?

Really? I mean, they've shut everything down. You can't even talk about it. All they can talk about is that, don't bite is our president. You're going to have to live with it. We spent four years, five years, really, almost five years. hearing that Trump was not our president. He's not my president.

Not my president. It's not my president. That's all we heard. And now we're supposed to just, hey, they've shut everybody down and they make sure I'm surprised that this poll even made it to the internet. Except that this means that, you know, this is their way of saying,

this is QAnon and the proud boys. That's what this is. People just won't let it go. Okay. All right. No problem. Rasmussen said that they asked which is more important, making it easier for everybody to vote or making sure there is no cheating in elections. 60% of likely voters say it's more important to prevent cheating. Thank you. While 37% said it's more important to make it easier to vote.

how much easier can it be? 22% of the voters say it is currently too hard to vote. Then don't do it. You know what? Don't vote. 22% of you. If it's too hard to vote, don't vote. 34% said it's too easy to vote.

And 41% say the level of difficulty in voting is about right. Isn't that special? the level. It's too hard to vote. Yeah, I just, it's too hard. It's too hard. They don't just bring me the ballot and tell me who I should vote for.

I mean, I still want to say. I still want to have a say, but that's it, though. That's it. I mean, it's just, just incredible. But there you have it, my friends. 51%

of voters that it is likely that cheating affected the outcome of this election. Huh. Huh, huh, huh, huh. Voters are still not letting go with their belief that the 2020 presidential election was a fraud-filled nightmare. And when you look at the man who's supposed to be unifying the country, the president of the United States of America, Joseph Robinette Biden, do you feel unified? We do have news from the intelligence, though, the pandemic could cause civil war.

And at least a few countries, not ours. Don't be silly. Oh, man, don't even think about that. Sure, there's a wave of internal crises and even wars could follow the coronavirus pandemic and at least a few in perhaps many countries. That's just a new intelligence community assessment. You know, some hard hit developing. countries are experiencing financial and humanitarian crisis, increasing the risk of surges

in migration, collapse governments, internal conflict. That's all, though. Don't where this is just the annual threat assessment. And sure, it could happen. There could be wars and stuff like that, but not here. Not here. What are you kidding me? This is just silly.

The social costs of the public health crisis and the economic consequences of recurrent lockdowns in countries around the world have been apparent over the past year. Haven't they, though? And so the intelligence officials expect those problems to spill over into the military sphere. Wow. That's no... I mean, not here. Wow, that's just silly that you would think that again.

Are you still thinking of that? No. As people grow more desperate in the face of interlocking pressures that include sustained economic downturns, job losses, disrupted supply chains. Sure, that fallout could happen and create the and worsen the instability. But not here. Wow, are you dumb to keep thinking that that's going to happen here? Oh, man.

They also are sounding the alarm about the national security threat posed by China. No. It was silly. Well, how can that happen? Well, apparently two major recent intelligence assessments warning about the aggressive actions of the Communist Party takes to maintain and grow its power in the world. Oh. So China's military, economic, technological, diplomat, cyber theft, malign influence efforts to grow its power. Really?

Because they didn't they just say that they were equal to the U.S. now? I mean, what's meaning that they believe that we are not the dominant world power? Huh. It's weird. I thought they would think something like that. Nah, that's not. That can't be, right? No, it can't be. That's just silly. And I know that, you know, we're not meeting with China. They've kind of backhanded our secretary of a state saying, we don't really answer to you. I know that President Biden is talking about trying to have a summit with Vladimir Putin now of Russia. I mean, that's a little late. Putin already reached out and he was ready to do a live thing with you.

And you said no. So now you're going to reach back out and try to do something, you know, off camera in a summit? Okay. All right. Good luck. I mean, Putin already made it possible for him to be in office until he's in. his 80s, right? Another couple of terms of his, you know, be the

charge of Russia. Of course he has to win the election. Yeah. I mean, there's the possibility that he could lose the election. Yeah. There's always that possibility, isn't there? Yeah. Yeah, there is. Just like there's always that

possibility that Andrew Cuomo is going to step down from being the governor of New York. It's not going to happen. They are never getting rid of. They're going to have to drag that guy out. And we keep hearing reports now. The big report today was, you know, that he compared himself to Sunny Corleone from the Godfather.

That should be enough alone to kick this guy out of office. He's the governor of the United States of America. Nobody wants to be sunny. Nobody wants to be sunny. Everybody wants to be Vito or Michael. That's the joke of why, you know, he and his brother are Fredo. because it's the dumb one. I'm sorry, he's not dumb.

He's smart. Not like everybody says. I'm smart. It's a quote from the movie if you don't know. But I'm just saying, and the report also says that Biden reportedly said to Cuomo, he's got tremendous balls, absolutely enormous balls. Now, you can take that one way or the other. I'll let you decide which way you want to take. how then Vice President Biden meant him having enormous balls.

But a White House officialist said, no way, that does not sound like something President Biden would say. No, no, it doesn't. It doesn't sound like something President Biden would say, but it does sound like something Senator and or Vice President Biden would say. So I would say that that absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Joe Biden said that, just not as president.

And plus, the governor of the United States, the governor of New York, the state of New York and the United States of America is comparing himself to Sunny Corley. No. Sonny was hot-headed, only in charge because his dad was shot and thought to be murdered and yet still alive, so he went off half-cocked, and then got killed. So, I mean, nobody wants to be sunny, all right? They want to be Michael, the guy who brought everything together and consolidated the family and ruled with an iron fist. Or they want to be Vito, who did the very same thing, who built, who built the family and created this bohemath of a family emblazoned in crime and murder.

but nobody wants to be sunny. So if that's true, that just is proof positive that he's an idiot. Well, I've got a couple of great crime stories that I've got to get to, and there's just not enough time today, so we'll do them on tomorrow's podcast. I'll leave you with something that was sent to me on the Internet. I believe it was Facebook. I might have been Jeff Fisher Radio,

but it could have been Twitter at Jeffrey JFR, or Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio on Parlor. It could have been those, but I'm pretty sure it was Facebook. So these are barbecue rules. It was titled barbecue rules. And we're coming into summertime and springtime,

and people are always barbecuing, and there's rules that you need to follow. And I thought you'd appreciate these barbecue rules, okay? We're about to enter the barbecue season. And I want to be clear that this isn't me. Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Okay?

I love you. And you're important to me here on chewing the fat, no matter who you are. No matter how you identify, I love you. Okay, but this is just something that was sent to me, and I thought I would share it because that's, you know, what I do here on chewing the fat is share. These are called entitled Barbecue Rules. Actually, it's titled BBQ Rules. We are about to enter

BBQ season. Therefore, it's important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity. When a man volunteers to do the BBC, the following chain of events are put into motion. Number one, the woman buys the food. Number two, the woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

Number three, the woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray, along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill beer in hand. Number four, the woman remains outside the compulsory three-meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman. Now, here comes the important part. Again, this is not me. This is what was sent to me on BBQ rules. Number five, the man places the meat on the grill. Number six, the woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery. Number seven, the women, the woman, comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great.

He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat. Important again, number eight, the man takes the meat off the grill and hands it to the woman. Number nine, the woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkin, sauces, and brings them to the table. Number 10. After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes. Number 11. Everyone praises the man and thanks him for his cooking efforts. Number 12, the man asks the woman how she enjoyed her night off. and upon seeing her annoyed reaction concludes, there's just no pleasing some women.

Again, this was sent to me on social media. I don't, I just wanted to share so that you knew that there are rules to follow in this upcoming BBQ season.
