Starting point is 00:00:00 If you are looking for a gig or maybe absolutely need to do a job, the University of California, Berkeley is looking to hire a wellness and environmental justice coordinator. Is that you? You're going to run environmentally focused student programs such as meetups with Bay Area QT Plus and BIPOC climate activists, climate healing circles, wellness collaboration days, and my favorite. More. To be considered for the job, the applicant must have an intention of justice and liberation over status quo reformation. In addition, you need a bachelor's degree, and at least two years of experience in sustainability or environmental jobs. Now it's a part-time job, and it's going to pay
Starting point is 00:00:50 2395 to 2534 per hour. The position is housed in the Student Environmental Resource Center, which is a department within the dean of students office. Man, does that sound like a good gig? Doesn't it? Yes. Yes, it does. Man, there is nothing I want more than to schedule meetups with Bay Area QT pluses and BIPAC climate activists.
Starting point is 00:01:20 And then holding climate healing circles and wellness collaboration days and, of course, more. But what really hurts is that it's just a part-time job. Okay, and they want all this experience. You've got to have a bachelor's degree and two years of experience in sustainability and environmental jobs. But part-time, come on now. Berkeley, make the gig full-time and let these people have some insurance, okay? That's all I'm asking for. Maybe that can, you know, you can work that into the deal when you go and apply.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Please, University of California, Berkeley, and the. student environmental resource center. Make it a full-time gig. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Seriously, this is a big job. I'm stuck on the new gig at Berkeley. The wellness and environmental justice coordinator.
Starting point is 00:02:20 You read on about this gig. Okay, so it's a three-year contract and it's a tent. They're considering a temporary job, but it's only part-time. I mean, I know you're making $25.25, the lowest is $23.95, not even $24 an hour. But it's a three-year contract, temporary. Wow. And they're asking you to be in charge of the wellness and environmental justice, education, and programming, strategic program analysis and assessment, student group and
Starting point is 00:02:52 civic engagement advising services, community engagement and partnership creation, student supervision and budget management administration. That's a big gig for being just a part-time job. But I am telling you, this is agonizing. Good luck, I mean, this is what I meant to say. Good luck if you want this gig, because you're also going to be tasked with reinforcing student advocacy and fostering wellness and collectism and developing and or adapt curriculum surrounding wellness and healing in the environmental movement. Wow. And it's just a part-time job.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Just, oh, man. I mean, good luck. Good luck if you want that gig, because I hope you get it if you want it. I do. Plus, when it first starts out, it talks about meetups with Bay Area QT Plus. Now, I thought QT, you know, in social media meant cute, you know, like cuties. But I guess not. I guess QT Plus is, you know, queer trans plus. So it's the LGBTQIA plus. But now we've just shortened it to QT plus. And the, of course, the BIPC, the black indigenous and people of color.
Starting point is 00:04:18 So anyway, I mean, good luck. I hope you get the gig if you really want it because, man, they are looking to, you know, make sure you have a really good gig. Temporary, under contract, part-time. Give me a break. So I'm looking at, last week we talked about, you know, the best places to live and best cities to, you know, get comfortable in and everything.
Starting point is 00:04:43 But I just saw a list this weekend about the most diverse cities in America. So they were looking at Wallet Hub. was curious which major U.S. cities boast the greatest diversity. So it conducted a series of studies, and it was compiled for 13 metrics across five different categories. Household diversity, religious diversity,
Starting point is 00:05:07 socioeconomic diversity, cultural diversity, and economic diversity. The result? Definitive list of 501 cities ranked from the most to least diverse, which is summarized in this map, below that they've given us and just look at the map now. For those of you, you know, watching live on the 26th of April, 2021, I'll show you the list.
Starting point is 00:05:31 See that list right there? So the least diverse cities in the U.S., there's the, you know, the bottom 25 and the top 25 most diverse cities in the U.S. So the 25th least diverse city in the U.S., Beckley, West Virginia. Okay. There's a bunch of West Virginia cities in this list in the bottom. 25 Morgan Town, Huntington, Parkersburg. Those are the West Virginia cities. And when you look at the 25 most diverse cities in the U.S., Texas has four. Connecticut has four.
Starting point is 00:06:19 California, New York, and Maryland. have three cities in the most diverse cities in the U.S. in the top 25. So Texas has four. And they have the number one most diverse city in the U.S. Coming in at number one, Houston, Texas. Dallas is fourth. Arlington is eighth, and Arlington is in the, you know, DFW area. And Fort Worth is 25th.
Starting point is 00:06:55 So really, DFW, I mean, between 4th, 8th, and 25th, there, I mean, that's a big DFW is a big neck of the woods. You can quote me on that, by the way, is a big neck of the woods. Connecticut has, what did I say, they have four cities in the 25 most diverse, but they come in, 23rd is Bridgeport. 21st is Norwalk, Connecticut, and then Stamford is 16th, and Danbury is tied at 10th. Danbury, Connecticut is tied at 10th to Chicago, Illinois, as in the top 25 of the most diverse cities in the U.S. Now, number two, Jersey City, New Jersey, and number three, New York, New York. Wow.
Starting point is 00:07:49 number five Los Angeles California Number six Gaithersburg Maryland Silver Spring Maryland So those two are probably And I don't know the Maryland
Starting point is 00:08:00 city structures They're probably close together So that you know Makes it a little bit bigger Long Beach California is ninth Wow So there's some There's some pretty big cities in here
Starting point is 00:08:13 That you know Are the most diverse cities in the U.S. But you're looking at two Two in Texas in the top 10. Two in Maryland in the top 10. And two in California in the top 10. All right. I mean, there are diverse cities.
Starting point is 00:08:34 So if you're living in one of those cities, you are, can be proud to say that you're living in one of the most diverse cities in the United States of America. The least diverse cities, I find one of the cities that I've actually spent some time in
Starting point is 00:08:51 and it's a beautiful city. A couple of them. All right. So the number one, least diverse city in the U.S., Provo, Utah. Provo is beautiful, man. It's not diverse at all. There's a lot of whiteness.
Starting point is 00:09:08 A lot of whiteness going on in Provo. And same with Bennington, Vermont. Bennington, Vermont, I've spent some time there. I love that city. It's beautiful. That neck of the woods in Bennington is gorgeous. but it's not anymore.
Starting point is 00:09:20 I can't say that anymore. It's not diverse at all. I won't have it. I won't even go back there again. Well, maybe I will, but not right away. And only Florida is, there's no Florida cities. Wow, Florida, in the least diverse cities, Hyalea, Florida, Hialea, is 21st in the 25 most diverse cities in America.
Starting point is 00:09:43 But no cities in Florida in the top 25. Isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting? interesting. No Florida cities in the most diverse cities in the U.S. They do have a city in the least diverse city
Starting point is 00:09:59 in the U.S. in the 25. Florida doesn't show up until the 41st. 41st diverse city, that's Orlando, Florida. And then you get down to into the 60s. I think we
Starting point is 00:10:17 are. 60s and 70s and 70s. Wow, Jacksonville is 69th and Tampa is 73rd on the list. Those are pretty incredible. Those are diversities that yet, according to Wallet Hub, knew they're not. Interesting to see who's number one in each of their different categories. So you have socioeconomic diversity, cultural diversity, economic diversity, household diversity, and religious diversity. So socioeconomic diversity. So socioeconomic diversity. is listed first in the division. So we'll see who's number one.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Silver Spring, Maryland is number one in socioeconomic diversity. Cultural diversity. Jersey City, New Jersey. Economic diversity. Who's number one in economic diversity? Ooh, we don't know way down in economic diversity is the overall rank. Economic diversity. Holy cow.
Starting point is 00:11:20 I keep scrolling down, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling to find number one in that, in that category. Holy cow, where are we at in that category? Out of the 501 cities listed on this list, I keep scrolling because I don't want to miss it. There it is. number one in economic diversity, Badger Alaska. Congratulations, number one in economic diversity. They are 433rd out of 501 overall of most diverse cities in America.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Then you have household diversity. Let's scroll down to find number one in household diversity. And we keep scrolling down, down, down. I bet you it's down. There it is. Clarksburg, West Virginia. Clarksburg, West Virginia, number one in household diversity. 446 overall as most diverse cities in America.
Starting point is 00:12:32 And then we have religious diversity. We scroll down to see who is number one in religious diversity. Not that far down. 45th overall. Richmond, Virginia. Wow, those are some big. extremes for all those different divisions. And yet, the number one city for most diversity in America, Houston, Texas.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Congratulations. All right. Remember when it used to be looked upon as a big thing for men to be dating different women? And even when women were dating a bunch of different men, I guess it was looked upon as great. I don't know. But a Japanese man. has been arrested for reportedly dating more than 35 women at the same time.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Now, I would say so. Why are you being arrested for that? So Takashi Miyagawa, uh, Miyagawa, right? Miyagua, M-I-Y-A-G-A-W-A. Sorry, Takashi, if I'm mispronouncing your last name. Part-time worker is being investigated for, allegedly defrauding dozens of women by pretending he was serious about each of their relationships and receiving hundreds of pounds worth of gifts from them.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Okay, well, if they're giving him gifts, bless his heart. So apparently he was caught out when the women joined forces to create a victims association after discovering his extensive infidelity and reporting. him to the police. Well, the police should say, geez, you know, have fun with your victims association, but there's nothing illegal there. Apparently, uh, the claims are that he gave each woman a different date for his birthday, ensuring a constant stream of gifts throughout the year. That is a genius plan. That is a genius plan. So one 47 year old woman reportedly thought his birthday was on February 22nd, another age 40 was told it was in July. Yeah, we get it. We got it.
Starting point is 00:14:52 In total, in total, he allegedly received around 100,000 yen worth of gifts from the women. Well, 100,000 yen, I mean, that's hardly nothing out of dating 35 women and it's, what, like 668 euros, 100,000 yen. How much is that in U.S. dollars? 924 bucks. Come on now, not even a thousand dollars worth of gifts. And he's in trouble for that? Holy cow. So he's been on this dating spree while working for a marketing company selling shower products.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Good for him. He's accused of targeting at least 35 single women through his work, pretending to each that the relationship was serious and saying he wanted to spend his life with them. Well, maybe he did at the time. Now, according to this, we've got photographs, apparently showing this Miagua
Starting point is 00:15:54 with women in different locations such as a park and a restaurant. How dare he? How dare he take them to different locations? Different women to different locations? That bastard. So they're investigating to find out whether any other women were taken in
Starting point is 00:16:12 by the alleged serial dating scheme. How can this be illegal? It's just, I mean, these women, if they're pissed at being had, I mean, I can get that. 35 women, he got not even a thousand dollars worth of gifts from these 35 women, thinking that it was, you know, a different day for his birthday, giving him birthday gives.
Starting point is 00:16:43 They're just, oh, man, I cannot believe that we've arrested this guy for dating 35 women at the same time. I mean, you want to talk about some management skills? He needs a promotion. I mean, he's a busy guy. He's a busy man. He's busy working and he's busy trying to keep track of all of this because you don't know. You know, you might end up saying, I thought your birthday was July. Yeah, no. Oh, that's you? Yeah. Yeah, for you, my birthday's in July. Yeah, yeah. For you, yes.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Oh, did I forget my ID with my actual date? Yeah, I did. Darn it. Ash, darn it. I'll just have to pay with, you know, in yen. I mean, come on. We're arresting people now. I know it's not in the U.S., I get it, but it certainly could come across the pond. Easy. Wait, that's not the pond. That's across the Pacific. Yeah. The Pacific isn't a pond, Jeff. The Atlantic is the pond. Oh, okay. All right. That's the way it works. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:17:47 It certainly could come across the Pacific. Easy. I can see this happening in this country in today's world. And it absolutely shouldn't. This is not an illegal thing. These women can be mad and they can have their intervention. And they can come together with their victims association. You know, because they're pissed.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Are you? Did Takashi take you? You out too? Yes, he did. He told me he wanted to be with me. No, he told me he wanted to be with me. No, he told me he wanted to be with me. Oh, no. Oh, no. I bought him a watch. I bought him new shoes. I bought him a shirt. Give me a break. Come on. This guy, Takashi, I'd like to talk to him. Actually, we should talk to him. See how it worked out for him. This guy is on top of the world, man. He's taking care of. some serious business and these people are pissed because they've been had but they might not have been had he might have meant it at the time when he's with him right right i mean what is going on in japan i saw another story that showed uh people getting arrested at a strip club because a stripper stripped oh my word no we can't have strippers stripping at
Starting point is 00:19:11 strip clubs what is Japan becoming I mean now we've got a guy dating you know excessively but he's dating 35 women at one time and he gets arrested and now we have a stripper getting arrested for stripping we are Japan man what are you becoming what are you becoming pretty soon we're going to be hearing from people in japan that they're being charged with a crime for not returning a vhs tape we got news that karen mcbride learned that she was wanted because she did not return a vhs tape 21 years ago she commented on what she was told when she contacted the Cleveland County District Attorney's Office in Norman, Oklahoma. The first thing she told me was felony embezzlement, so I thought I was going to have a heart attack. So apparently, she rented a VHS tape, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, back in March of 2000.
Starting point is 00:20:31 She was trying to get a marriage license here in the great state of Texas, and they told her, oh, no, you got that felony embezzlement thing going on. We can't take care of you here. So the documents show that she rented this tape in the year 2000. Now, the place that filed against her for not returning the tape closed in 2000. because there's no such thing as VHS tapes anymore. Well, you know that there is, but nobody uses them anymore. I still have some, as a matter of fact.
Starting point is 00:21:10 We've talked about this before. I mean, I still have some. We still have a couple of machines, you know, that I need to go through and probably save, but it's just, it ends up being not worth the time, you know. She claims that that's maybe why she got fired a couple of times from jobs and didn't get jobs, but they didn't tell her why. I kind of find that hard to believe.
Starting point is 00:21:33 I think that she's just been not worried about it. It's a VHS tape. Who cares? Right? And so finally someplace, like here in Texas, said, ooh, no, we can't do anything until you get this off your record. So when she contacted a Norman, Oklahoma, they said, yeah, no, you got felony embezzlement.
Starting point is 00:21:54 And now the district attorney's office has said that they're going to dismiss the case against McBride. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it. She's blaming it on some old boyfriend. She said that she was living with a guy that had a couple of kids and that he probably rented it and didn't bring it back, but she claims that she has, you know, no idea. And that she would never watch Sabrina the teenage, which it wasn't her cup of tea, I believe, was the quote from Karen.
Starting point is 00:22:24 But they've dismissed the case against her. But according, why don't they just take care of? this is what ticks me off about the law. Okay. I know. Don't look at me like that. But so now they say, well, she's going to, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:40 need to have the case expunge in order to clear her record. You do that. You clear it. You're not going to press charges against this stupid case from 21 years ago over a VHS tape,
Starting point is 00:22:53 which was dumb to begin with. And the company who, you know, made the charge, isn't even in business anymore. None of it, It makes any sense. You make it go away.
Starting point is 00:23:03 You put it on a record. You expunge it. That ticks me off. You know what? This is just a way to keep attorneys getting paid. That's right. Big attorney. Man, they tick me off, big attorney.
Starting point is 00:23:18 All right, let's go to the break room. I desperately need something to drink after that case. I'll tell you that. Oh. So if you're listening to. to this right now and you're not a subscriber to this podcast. Do so and make your life that much better, please. Subscribe to Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.
Starting point is 00:23:45 If you're listening now and you're not a subscriber, then you're just a freeloader and nobody likes or appreciates freeloaders. But if you subscribe and choose a platform of your choice, you can choose the one you're listening to now or you can choose one that you like better. But to do so, and then you just become a subscriber that you're getting the podcast for free. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:24:07 That's smart. But just being a freeloader, nobody likes freeloaders. I mean, Apple, did you see where Apple is going to start having their pay podcast? They're going to launch their new subscription offering so that podcasters can charge listeners for content directly. So I guess that's, you know, a slam against, you know, they're trying to go up against Spotify. and well, I mean, Patreon and only fans and everyone has
Starting point is 00:24:39 their paid content. I say everyone. I don't because Chewing the Fat is free. That was my point. But every website has their own paid content that you can pay for and get extra content if you want.
Starting point is 00:24:55 So I guess good for them? I guess. Not good. You know, oh, yeah, bad news here, though. I see where the Alec Baldwin Kelsey Grammar comedy series. And remember we talked about this comedy series when they first started talking about it. Yeah, it's not going to go forward at ABC. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:25:19 No, it's being shopped elsewhere. So apparently ABC has passed on the Alec Baldwin, Kelsey Grammar multi-camera comedy. aren't they all multi-camera? Anyway, I guess the executives at ABC saw the pilot episode and said, how about no? I know this is going to come with a surprise, and it did to me too when I first read this. So just go ahead and sit down if you're as surprised as I was.
Starting point is 00:25:55 So this had a straight to series order from the studio. And so they did the pilot and they, the executives saw the pilot and went, ooh, yeah, no. Go ahead and try to sell this to someone else if you want to, but we're not going to. We're not going to do that. So, okay, have a nice day. I guess it wasn't that funny for their multi-camera comedy special. so plus Kelsey's got his other gig that he's working on now right his uh Frazier revival coming back so they're working on that project plus I guess ABC had a
Starting point is 00:26:43 regime change so the new bosses are like yeah new that that show was uh direct to series straight to series contract with the old regime new so we're going to go ahead we'll pay you off and you'll get whatever money that we owe to you, but no, have a nice day. So, man, Alec, Baldwin, and Kelsey Grammer's multi-camera comedy show is not going to happen on ABC. And it looks as though it's not going to happen anywhere. So I guess we should discuss, you know, the elephant in the room. And no, I'm not talking about Zimbabwe starting to sell hunting rights to shoot. 500 endangered elephants.
Starting point is 00:27:31 No, I'm not talking about the poachers that were killed by the elephants as they were trying to get killed, which I love that story. It's a tremendous story. And they were out there poaching these elephants and they got caught and the elephants crushed them. It's tough to take. I'm talking about the Oscars. Yes, the Oscars last night.
Starting point is 00:27:51 I mean, I guess we could talk about, you know, the possibility that Kim Kardashian and Van Jones are dating. She's not even divorced 100% from Kanye yet. And there's rumors that she and Van Jones are out running around. Okay. All right. No problem. So for those of you that, you know, didn't watch the Oscars, bless your heart.
Starting point is 00:28:15 I watched very little of it. I haven't recorded. I'm going to go back and watch some of the low lights or highlights, whatever you want to call it. Because I had Walking Dead to watch last night. I had gangs of London to watch last night. I mean, what comes first? The Oscars are Gangs of London after Walking Dead, or fear of the Walking Dead.
Starting point is 00:28:34 So, No Man Land, which I kind of predicted would win, the best picture. Best actor, I thought for sure, and the world thought it was going to go to Chadwick Boseman. And they even made it so that it was the last award this year instead of Best Picture, the best actor was going to be the last award at the Oscars. everyone thought that it was going to be the last award because they were going to give it to
Starting point is 00:29:01 Chadwick and they were going to have this big to do over this, you know, posthumous award to the great actor Chadwick Bosman. Nope. Sorry. Have a nice day. We're going to give it to Anthony Hopkins. And they gave it to Anthony. He wasn't even there.
Starting point is 00:29:18 It wasn't at any of anything at all. So, uh, homeboy that was, uh, you know, out to give the award was just there. I'll stand. they ended the show with him just standing on stage all by himself. It was awesome. I was just like, okay, the show is over now. Take care. There's nobody here to accept for Anthony Hopkins because he's not in any of our locations.
Starting point is 00:29:49 And so, Wachene Phoenix was just saying, Hey, thanks for watching. Take care. Roll the credits. It was just amazing. And, of course, the best actress, who I thought for sure that they would give to Viola Davis for the same movie, My Raining is Black Bottom, that they would give it to Chadwick Bosman for. Nope, Francis McDormann for Nomad Land.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Now, was she great in that movie? Yes. I mean, that was a great movie. the lady that was the director or yeah she was she directed the movie uh chloe zhao won for nomad land and that's the first i guess female woman of color whatever great job i mean yeah i'm so sick of having the diversity rammed down our throats if you do a good job you should be rewarded for it and if you, you know, and by the way, they all were rewarded for it by being paid for their work. They just want everybody to pat them on the back some more for their work.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Okay. Great. Well, you all got it. Congratulations. Now, I won't go down into, you know, best directors and animated thing. I know Soul was won a couple. The best original score, best animated feature. So now I'm going to have to watch.
Starting point is 00:31:20 I keep meeting to watch. it it's on HBO no Disney Disney has soul right and I keep meaning to watch it and I just haven't so now I'm gonna have to because it's a it's an Academy Award winner so I'm just gonna have to break down and and watch it and it's not because it was a winner or that it was great it's because it's you know it's diversity and I've got to show how diverse I am so I'm gonna watch soul okay and I know what you're thinking hey didn't Ma Rainey Black Bottom win anything?
Starting point is 00:31:53 Yes, they did. They want a couple for sure. They won the best makeup in hairstyling and best costume design. So, so there. All right? You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:32:10 So I had some business to take care of with my phone company this weekend. Apparently I had purchased something over my phone that I didn't purchase. Now, could it have been that I fell asleep in the middle of, you know, I fall asleep most nights. I fall asleep most nights and I wake up and my glasses are, you know, hanging off my head
Starting point is 00:32:43 and the phone is, you know, laying on my chest or on my stomach or under the covers or whatever because I, you know, I'm reading something and I pass out. And then, you know, four hours later I wake up. And the drool is coming down. you realize that you were in the middle of something. So could I have purchased something inadvertently? Absolutely. Could I have done it by mistake during the day somehow?
Starting point is 00:33:12 Sure, absolutely. But I didn't want what it showed that I had purchased. So I had to call the phone company and, you know, get it resolved, which we did. And I say we because, you know, I had my wife do it and I was sitting there doing other things. but she was taking care of it, which I appreciate. I love her for it.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Thank you. And the account is in her name. So leave me alone, okay? I mean, I let her get the account in her name. Duh. That's the kind of nice man I am. But so she called him. We're talking to this,
Starting point is 00:33:49 and we're talking to this, we get this lady on the phone who is working for the company Sprint, which is T-Mobile now. And we're, you know, getting it resolved. And she was great. She took care of it and she let us know that there were a few other things that needed to be taken care of between the Sprint and T-Mobile merger and what was going on.
Starting point is 00:34:11 And so she was, we found out, you know, we've got a few new updates coming. And it was, she was really nice. She was great. But she was in the Philippines. And I mean, all I wanted to do was talk to her about what was going on in the Philippines and the ruler in the Philippines, who I know is this night. mayor of a man she might not think so and i didn't want to get her in trouble because you know they always made me record it for our business purposes i didn't want to get her in trouble talking about
Starting point is 00:34:40 you know bad about her government or talking about bad stuff so i just kept it pretty generic like oh hey so you you know how's it going and they she's still in this big lockdown in the Philippines. I mean, they still, she goes out two days. She has two days that she can go out and shop. And that's it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:35:07 How are you talking about serious lockdown? I mean, that's, what's his name, Duarte, right? I mean, he is, he's a good guy. He's a good, get taken care, rule and law and order is what he believes in in the Philippines. But
Starting point is 00:35:22 she was, she was great for T-Mobile and Sprint, and I would recommend her for whatever they have going on because she was wonderful for the company. But I really wanted to know what was going on. So I looked up in the Philippines. They have the vaccine, but very few have been vaccinated in the Philippines.
Starting point is 00:35:48 So they've continued on to their lockdown. They have over a million. total cases. They have 8,000, almost 9,000 new cases, and they've had 16,853 deaths, according to the updates, the COVID updates. They're 26th down the list of total cases.
Starting point is 00:36:11 So they need to, you know, pick up the case a little bit. I know that India is going through a nightmare scenario. Right now, they're low on oxygen. People we're sending, we're sending vaccines there. They're calling it the, double mutant variant which a lot of the experts are like well we shouldn't be calling it the double mutant that's just not right well okay then what should we call the variant that is b-1617 should we call it
Starting point is 00:36:45 that because that would be great we don't know that you know the official coronavirus COVID-19 variant in India, the B-1617. I mean, we all know that it's referred to as the double mutant because it has two key mutations that have cropped up into two other infamous strains, right? So, but scientifically, the term double mutant makes no sense. Well, thank you. Thank you, Doc.
Starting point is 00:37:15 We appreciate it. Of course, that's, you know, guess what? We get to call it whatever we want. And whatever takes off, right, but heaven forbid, you call it the China virus. Don't do that. Do not call it the China virus. Okay. You can call it the South African variant.
Starting point is 00:37:35 You can call it the Brazil variant. You can call it the double mutant variant. But don't you dare. Not one time should you ever call it the China virus, ever, because that is wrong. Anyway, and then I was looking where you realize that, you know, 8% of Americans who have received their first Pfizer or Moderna vaccine missed their next shot. That's not too bad. I mean, they'll tell you that number is, you know, horrific. But it doesn't, for me, that doesn't sound too bad.
Starting point is 00:38:11 If it's only 8% of the people who got their first dose, didn't go back for their second dose, I'd be interested to see how many in that percentage passed away because that first dose. because that first round was supposed to be highly window people, right? So they were probably up there in age and had many other underlying circumstances. So it'd be, you know, maybe we end up with 2% of those who are not alive or they're too sick to receive the second dose. And so it doesn't seem too bad. I'm still torn whether I want the vaccine. or not, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:53 let me rephrase that. Do I want it? Yes, I'm torn between whether I should get it or not. Because I know, we need to get the, we need to get it, right? We need to do it. But do we? And, you know, hey, speaking of the Philippines, did you see different countries? Indonesia.
Starting point is 00:39:19 That same thing. Oh, it's over there somewhere. Did you see where, and I meant to talk about it last week, and I didn't. It was in the fat pile, and I just never got to it, about they were searching for the missing sub from Indonesia, right? Well, they found it this weekend. It's so sad. They found, broke into at least three parts.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Holy cow. So 53 crew members have, you know, lost their lives in the deep in the, deep in the the Bally Sea and they found new objects that say that it broke in. They were apparently conducting a torpedo drill. And really strange. Now, they're saying that this is the crew were not to blame for the accident. What does that mean? What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:40:10 The crew were not to blame for the accident. So they were preparing to conduct a torpedo drill. Does that mean that a torpedo blew up? Does that mean the, I mean, it was broken into three parts separated? Wow. They said that the main part found cracked. Huh. So, does that mean that it was just the sub was too old?
Starting point is 00:40:42 And then it just cracked apart? I don't know. I don't know what it means. But it's sad all the way around. But they're talking about how these, they have two, they have five submarines before the latest accident, two German-built type 209s, including the Nangalala, Nangalagala, N-A-N-A-N-G-G-A-L-A,
Starting point is 00:41:13 and three newer South Korean vessels. Now the German-built type 209s, those those are the diesel electric attack submarines I don't know if you've ever seen the
Starting point is 00:41:30 the documentary Down Periscope but that's the same type of sub that they use in Down Periscope Now Down Periscope I mean that was in 1996 Right So these subs
Starting point is 00:41:47 that are the type 209 diesel electric attack submarines? We don't even use diesel submarines anymore. So these were exported by a company in Germany. They were designed in the late 60s. Wow. They were export 13 countries with 61 submarines being built. and commissioned between 71 and 2008. But we don't even use the...
Starting point is 00:42:23 I mean, if you've seen the documentary down Periscope, you know that the U.S. does not even use the diesel lo. I love sub-movies so much. It got me thinking about that, and I'm very sorry that all these people lost their lives, and perhaps I need to upgrade their subs. Or maybe we think about, I don't know, Indonesia not having the whole naval submarine fleet.
Starting point is 00:42:47 but what do I know? So, but I was looking at sub-movies and there's one sub-movie that I haven't seen that I've really, I don't know why I haven't seen it. I was looking at the sub-movies, okay, so you have the documentary Down Periscope, which is tremendous. If you've never seen that movie, I recommend it.
Starting point is 00:43:05 It's so funny. And it's with Kelsey Grammar. Today's Kelsey Grammar Day. But I've seen Crimson Tide, tremendous movie with my man Danzel, and Gene Hackman, tremendous movie. Then we have, you know,
Starting point is 00:43:19 K-19, The Widowmaker, eh, U-571, eh, I mean, these were okay. They had the latest, I mean, of course, hello, the one, the first and foremost sub-movie, The Hunt for Red October,
Starting point is 00:43:36 hello. And I know everyone remembers the one from way back in what, like 1981, that Das Boot. but the hunt for red October hello 1990 and that's with alec Baldwin too it's alec Baldwin and kelsey grammar day today here on here on chewing the fat but the latest the latest one that I watch it's a new one a newer one that came out in 2018 hunter killer tremendous with gerard butler and Gary Oldman
Starting point is 00:44:13 I mean, a really good movie. But then there was one movie that's listed here that I thought, wait a second, why haven't I seen this? This is with Jude Law called Black Sea. And it's a crime movie and a sub-movie. It's right in my wheelhouse from 2014. So I'm really, really disappointed that I have not seen Black Sea.
Starting point is 00:44:38 And I make a pledge to you today here on Chewing the Fat that that will happen. Black Sea and Black Sea and me will happen. There's no doubt about that. I cannot believe that I have not seen a sub-crime movie from 2014 with Jude Law. I apologize. I apologize. But all the others I have seen and are really good.
Starting point is 00:45:02 If you haven't had a chance to see Hunter Killer, great movie with Gerard Butler and Gary Oldman, Crimson Tide. There's some scenes in that movie from 1995. with Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington that are award winning. Same with Hunt for Red October and same with Down Periscope, the documentary Down Periscope. And if you have an opportunity to catch Down Periscope, if you have not seen Down Periscope, I recommend it highly as a documentary, of course. So thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat.
Starting point is 00:45:43 And I know I try not, I try to steer away from, you know, the real heavy political stuff. But I think we talked about on Thursday or Friday of last week, the, you know, the people in this administration showing how much they dislike America every day. And it's really ticking me off. And I don't like it at all. You know, if you are part of this administration, it's one thing being having different, different thoughts on the way this country should be. run it's another for thinking that you don't like America in general and I think that we see that more and more every day from this administration over the weekend we find that John Kerry former senator of the United States of America former Secretary of State of the United
Starting point is 00:46:33 States of America former presidential candidate of the United States of America and now the climate czar whatever the hell his title is We find out that from the Iranian foreign minister that he informed them of hundreds of Israeli covert actions. If that's true, and I mean, it's not difficult to believe that it's true. Coming about John Kerry, oh, it's not difficult at all. But the reports in this story are talking about Zirif, the guy who, said that Kerry informed them. He also said that the Revolutionary Guard in Iran calls the shots overruling many government
Starting point is 00:47:21 decisions and ignoring advice. And they're talking about the Iranians are demanding Zeraf's resignation for revealing to the world about the Revolutionary Guard calling the shots that, you know, if you believe that that isn't known already and that Iran is a theoretic, Theoretic military dictatorship whose government is just a puppet. Really? Well, really, I'd like to know where are the calls that we get rid of John Kerry? And maybe even try him for freaking treason.
Starting point is 00:47:57 I mean, I don't know. Is it treasonous? Yeah, I mean, if he's got information coming from our government about another government and he's giving that to another government that wants to overthrow that government, I mean, is it treasonous to us? Maybe. But he should no longer be looked at as this great man of any kind of intellect about the climate or any damn thing else. I mean, this goes back into the Obama administration and now the Joe Biden administration.
Starting point is 00:48:33 I mean, this guy hates America. And it's true. Every day we see more and more people with this administration who hate America. and I've had, I mean, it is agonizing to see it every day. And yet we're supposed to say, oh, no, oh no, they're doing, he doesn't, they don't hate, they love America. Do they? Do they?
Starting point is 00:48:57 Okay. All right. If you say so. Oh, no.
