Last week, Sheriff's deputies shot and killed Mr. Brown, Mr. Andrew Brown, Jr. in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. You may have heard about the protests that have been going on, and they were trying to or attempting to serve a search warrant at his home. An independent autopsy found that he was shot four times in the arm and once in the back of the head, as he had. tried to drive away from police before he crashed into a tree. Now, earlier this week, Brown's family saw 20 seconds of one deputy's body cam video,

but authorities have not yet shared any of the details or the video of the shooting and released any of the body cam footage publicly. So the FBI is now looking into whether, what happened, violates federal law. Now, the city is under a state of emergency and a curfew and there's protests going on daily and or nightly. A North Carolina Superior Court judge declined yesterday. For those of you listening live, today is the 29th of April, 2021. So yesterday, the 28th of April, this North Carolina Superior Court judge declined to release to the public the body camera footage of the shooting. and killing of Andrew Brown Jr.

by the sheriff's deputies. Now, some of Brown's family was going to be allowed to view, which they were allowed to view some of the footage, and the Superior Court judge said that videos will be disclosed to the son and a few of the immediate family members as the days go on. Officers, faces, name tags, and other identities information will be blurred or redacted in those videos. There are four body camera videos and one dash cam video from a vehicle that the family will be able to view.

Now, they're going to be held from release to the family for no less than 30 days and no more than 45 days, which will allow ongoing investigations to be completed. Now, the protests are still going on. When you see the pictures of people marching in the streets and believing that it's just another cop killing another black man, I see the signs. We're still pushing the hands up. Don't shoot. No justice, no peace.

20 seconds, not enough. Black Lives Matter. But if the footage showed that the police acted in bad faith, do you think that they would have not released the video? My guess. is no. That's just, you know, I know what that information tells me. I know that that information tells me. And again, remember he was driving, trying to get away from police when he was shot. I know what it tells me. What does it tell you? Welcome to chewing the fat.

uh... Las Vegas news anchor was arrested after being found naked and passed out in her car. The Fox 5, Fox 5 Las Vegas morning weekday anchor and reporter Fevin Kilvogorius K-I-F-L-E-G-I-O-R-G-I-S

known as Fevin K that's the reason. it, uh, Fevin K-A-Y, uh, was arrested. She was, uh, found nude and asleep behind the wheel of her Audi at 7.30 a.m. at the end of March, mid-March, March 20th. Now, she told cops, she didn't remember how she got to the location where she was found. Officers reported the smell of alcohol emanating from the reporter, but she said a new, new, new, blood test, which is always a good move. You lose your license usually or get it taken away,

but they don't have that. They don't have that blood test. Now, they later charged her with reckless driving with a disregard for the safety of person or property in the incident. She was ordered to pay a thousand dollar fine and attend driving school. She then had the charges reduced. to misdemeanor reckless driving. She's back on the air. She missed a few weeks of work. She came on and says, as I move forward,

I want you to know I've learned from this, and I will continue learning, and I truly thank you for your support. So I'm trying to think how you get, you know, they don't investigate why she's naked and passed out in her vehicle, unless there's some kind of footage, some webcam footage,

some neighborhood, doorbell footage that shows her, you know, taking off her clothes and passing out in the front seat of her car while she's driving around. And on top of which, if she took the time off and she's considering it a private matter, maybe she had a really serious drinking problem or drug and alcohol problem. And this was just a way of, yeah, I need to do something about it. And don't fire me. And I'm going to go ahead and just go ahead and be,

I'll dry out. I'll dry out. I'll be fine. And everything will be okay. Just let me dry out and then I'll come back to work. But really strange that we didn't have any kind of investigation. And maybe we did. They're just not saying it under, you know, it's a private matter. But when you wake up naked in your car in a neighborhood that you don't know why you're there,

that's a problem. No matter what. you were drugged by someone else or drugged by yourself, that is a problem. And perhaps you need to get help. And that's exactly what Fevin, Kvigiljurias, Fevin K is doing. So good luck. And God bless to you, Kevin, K-I-F-L-E-G-I-O-R-G-I-S. You know, it appears you can't do anything anymore.

I mean, you can't wake up naked in your car. Not knowing where you're at or what, you know, what you've been up to. If you're a CEO, Justin Zuse, says he was fired as CEO of the $2 billion marketing startup, irritable because he micro-dosed on LSD before a 2019 meeting. Wow. Man, you can, I mean, you cannot do anything anymore. And we had a CEO fired after ridiculing a teenager for wearing a red, floor-length

dress to the prom. I know. I know. Why would he do that? Well, I mean, he ridiculed the teenager who was a male for wearing a dress to his senior prom. Don't judge. Don't you judge.

I mean, that's what CEO... What's his name? Sam Johnson? CEO of a telemedicine company, Vizuel. Uh, and it's on video and he's coming up saying, you know, you look bad, you've got hair on your chest, you shouldn't be wearing a dress, you're not a man. And the, and Dalton Stevens, the boy, the teenager who wore the dress, said that the fact

that he thought he had the audacity to come tell me what I was supposed to wear and what I was supposed to do because of his standards. I mean, the teenager's right. What are you doing, Sam? Just leave the kid alone. I mean, you're walking, it's a party. You're going to, what are you, you're just going to come up to the kid because he's wearing a dress? Um, you know, they're genderless clothes. Duh. Oh, man.

He said, I was very confident. And I knew that I felt beautiful and I felt great. Well, that is good for you, Sam Johnson. Good for you. you. Now, no, I mean, Sam is the CEO. Not good for him. Bad, bad, bad. Good for Dalton Stevens. Bad for Sam Johnson. Bad. Because the company now says, we condemn the behavior exhibited by Sam Johnson. And really, they should. What are you thinking about? Really seriously? Sam Johnson, CEO of a company and you're going to start bad-mouthing some teenager who's wearing a dress to a party. You know it's some kind of party

going on because everybody's all dressed up. And you're going to start bad-mouthing some teenager who's wearing a dress to a party. And you're going to give this kid a hard time? Come on now. It'd be interesting to find out if he actually knew the young man. You know, if his child was at this party and that he knew this guy, gave him a hard time and was, you know, thrown under the bus by this teenager on purpose. It'd be interesting to read about that. I find it now that I, you know, I read this story and I think, why would a guy, a CEO of a company,

start in on a young man or person who you know you wouldn't normally think would wear a full length red dress but is at the senior prom and you're going to start ridiculing him for wearing that dress it seems it just doesn't seem like that's a normal thing to do you know what i'm saying you know what i'm saying i think you do you know our lives are really revolved, and you can quote me on this, around the choices we make. You probably may not have heard that before

in your life. But the choices we make definitely are the reason for the outcome of many of our experiences in our life. And this story's been in the fat pile for a while, and I just haven't gotten to it, and I finally read the story.

I've had the headline for quite some time. Michigan woman glues eyes shut after mistaking nail glue for eyedrops. Now, you see that headline, you think, ah, just a stupid person and how could someone do that? How could someone make the choice of putting, you know, nail glue in their eyes instead of eyedrops? Well, so when you read the story, you think,

well, you can see how it could happen, right? And it wasn't really, she was, she was sleeping, and she fell asleep with her contact lenses in. but woke up at 1 a.m. and wanted to take them out because her eyes were dry. So she reached inside her purse and grabbed what she believed to be eyedrops. Instead, it was a white bottle of nail glue, which she typically uses to repair broken fingernails. Who doesn't have nail glue in their purse for broken fingernails?

Am I right? So then she, you know, dropped it into her eyes. And she said she immediately realized her mistake. and she tried to wipe it away and her eyes sealed shut. And then she just got up and started throwing cold water onto her face. I was trying to pull my eyes apart, but I couldn't. I was just screaming for him to call 911. They came.

They took her to the hospital. The doctor said that they saved her vision and that the reason they saved her vision was because of the contact lenses that she had left in. They figured you're going to lose your lashes, because they had to pull on them to flip. They had to pull the eyelashes out and try to flip the eyelid up

because it was all glued. But the thing that saved it was that it was glued to the contact lenses and not to her eyeball. Wow. Now that is a lucky, lucky thing. Now, according to this doctor at Beaumont Health,

He explained to get anything in your eyes, immediately try to flush it out, really, by using a nearby faucet or bottle of water. He noted, it'll probably make a mess, but it'll save your vision. Now, according to this, and according to Dr. George Williams of Beaumont Health, she's not the first person to make this mistake. Well, thank you. It's always good to know when you do something dumb, that, oh, you mean other people have done the same dumb thing?

That makes me feel so much better. It doesn't really, but okay. In 2015, a Florida woman glued her eyes shut after a friend accidentally handed her fingernail glue instead of vizine. Okay. She apparently had some kind of debris in her eye as they were using a leaf blower. Hello. And then, you know, here, put some of the vizene. in your eye and it's just uh it's not vizine it's a glue so uh you know it doesn't say whether

this girl lost her eye though it said it stuck to my eyelids and my eyeball and it really hurt yeah duh but it doesn't say that she lost her vision so i wonder if it takes a while to you know even even uh eucidra williams who had it stuck to her contact lenses i bet you that the glue actually affects your vision of your eyeballs for quite some time. I mean, you're going to be lucky to get some of that peripheral vision back, maybe. You know, you're only going to be able to see where you put your contact lenses in. Oh, and you're going to have to wear glasses forever. Don't be worrying about those contact lenses anymore because you're not going to be wanted to put too much into your eyes anymore

after you glue them shut. Oh, here you want some vizine? No thanks. It does give new meaning to the phrase, eyes wide shut, though. Just saying. I did find something, though, when I was thinking about eyes wide shut. So I go and I, oh yeah, the Tom Cruise movie. And, you know, Eyes Wide Shut, right?

And I was thinking, wow, when did, I mean, that movie's been out a long time now, right? I mean, 1999 Eyes Wide Shut came out. And so I was, I just opened up the, you know, the page of, eyes wide shut and I see you know five actors in is this Lili Sobieski S-O-B-I-E-S-K-I and I think wow I mean I don't remember I wonder what she's doing now because she was in a lot of stuff so I look on she's

and the story it says here from her Wikipedia page that says that she is a retired actress all right and I thought wait she's retired I mean, she's did a lot of stuff, right? So then I look at, you know, what, what is Lili Sipiske doing now? And it says here that she's 36 and she goes by the married name Lili Kimmel. And when approached for an interview with Vice, this was back in 2019, October of 2019. She politely declined, replying that she didn't want to dwell on her past life.

Instead, she's focusing on a creation. career that keeps her persona separate from her work. What happened to her? Something happened in Hollywood to her. There's a story there. I'm going to have to try to reach out and talk to Lili Zabeski because she was in a lot of stuff. If you look at her IMDB page, the last thing she did was a made-for-TV movie in 2018. And then it goes for 2016.

And then before that, she was working a lot from 2012 to 2016, nothing. And then 2016 to 2018, nothing. So she did, you know, a little movie in 2016 and a TV movie for 2018. But in 2012 was the last thing that she did. And she was in a series, actually, at 2012. It was in like 13 episodes of this NYC 22. NYC 2, 2, probably what it was called. But she was in a lot of stuff.

And you look at her IMDB page in her history. I mean, eyes wide shut. She was in, she did a lot of little small parts and stuff too, but she was in Deep Impact. And I love that stupid movie. Anyway, there's a story there. And she was in a lot of, you know, a lot of one-hit wonder parts throughout Hollywood,

television and movies. but I I want to know her story something happened to her something some Hollywood horror story is Leely

and she must have been paid off because now she wants to keep her private life separate from her work life huh I'm sorry her persona separate from her work okay

and she's working on her creative career. Isn't that acting? Something happened. Something happened to Lili Sobiski. We are going to find out on chewing the fat. What happened to Lili Sobiski? All right, let's go to the break room. I need something called to drink desperately.

Oh, man. I'll find out what happened to Lili, though. That's number one. That's the only I can think about right now. Did you know that tractor supply? It's a rural U.S. retailer. And, you know, of course, they sell everything. But tractors, kind of weird.

But anyway, they said that half of the 11 million chickens it sold in 2020 were to new customers. So they sold 11 million chickens. you know, live chickens, not, you know, not walking down the meat aisle or from Moink, from Moink meats. They were just selling live chickens so people could have chickens in their backyard. CEO Hal Lawton said he credited the surge to millennials moving from big cities and upgrading their herb boxes to backyard coops in suburbs and less populated areas. So just know that, you know, five and a half million new people. I know, I got to rephrase that. Five and a half million chickens were sold to new customers

and know what the hell they were doing and how to raise chickens. So good luck, God bless. If you are living in a neighborhood where your neighbors have chickens, maybe you go over and say hello and say, hey, you know, what do you think? Do you know how to take care of these chickens? Are they giving you enough eggs? Are you doing okay? We have a friend

My wife, Amber, just brought home a bunch of eggs from these I don't know, there's some kind of bird eggs They were different. They were different colors. They were big sizes. And they were bad. They were okay. I mean, she was hoping that she wasn't allergic to them

Because she can't eat the chicken eggs. So these were like, uh, what the heck were they? Duck eggs. They were duck eggs. Now, she didn't say what kind of ducks? I'm sure there's got to be eight. thousand different kind of ducks. But they were duck eggs and they were big and they were, you know, they looked,

they didn't look like your everyday over-the-counter chicken egg. And so, I mean, they're out there, right? I mean, you can get eggs from any kind of bird. But just know that five and a half million chickens were sold to new customers. And according to the CEO of Tractor Supply, they were sold. to millennials moving to moving away from the big cities and creating backyard

chicken coops in the suburbs. Man. Green movement. Man, it's going green. Let's all go green and raise our own chickens. You know, like back in the communist societies. Huh, I don't know what made me think of that. Just happened to watch our

president speak last night. Ooh, man. Oof. Man, that was a tough, tough speech last night. If you didn't see it, good for you, but you really need to go back and listen to what he had to say

because it's a little frightening. We had a tough time during the speech, man. It was storming here. It was tornado. Sirens were going off. Hail was coming down. Some big hail. Biggest hail I've seen in this neighborhood.

Since I've been living in Texas, the hail that came down last night here was the biggest hail that I've seen. Now, that's obviously happened around this neck of the woods. this part of the country. And you know, you see pictures of the big chunks of hail. But if you go to my Twitter page, Jeffrey JFR, my Facebook, Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, Parlor,

I posted pictures of the hail that came down last night. And my wife at Framelight Photography had posted a couple of videos of the hail coming down. I mean, it was, all hail was breaking loose. Yep, that's right. It sure was. Oh, you can call me on that if you want. Yeah. You can say, wow, all hail was breaking loose there, huh, Jeff?

Yeah, yeah, it was. So, I mean, it was, I never, I didn't think a tornado was going to hit because obviously I've been through a tornado before. And so there was only one point during the evening. And I had our president muted and it was blowing and hail was coming down. And, you know, it was, uh, the sirens were. going off and I there was one point where it kind of died down and I heard some kind of wind you know pick up just a little bit and I thought crap that's a tornado and then it went away so I don't know

if it if one you know showed up and decided to go away because there weren't any in our you know close neighborhood area no one you know no one had any damage we do know someone who you know best of their windshield with the hail. We did not have any damage. My car stood tough. Bring it. Okay? But it was just really strange.

Anyway, and it was a big surprise that we had this huge storm here in northern Texas while the president was speaking. Was it an omen? I don't know. Sure felt like one at the time. I'll tell you that. Hey, quick reminder, if you're listening to this right now and you're not a subscriber to the show, become a subscriber.

But first and foremost, subscribe to this show, Chewing the Fat. Okay? Just a quick little reminder before we head into space. And there it goes. Yeah, baby. It's tough to understand. Now it goes into the whole story of what's happening there. And what's happening there is that China just launched the core element of the Chinese space station.

They're building their own space station. This particular module is going to be the 59-long 18 meters, 18 meters, known as, well, in English it would be known as Harmony of the Heavens. China with a space station doesn't necessarily make me think harmony, but, okay. if that's what you want to call it. They call it Tiana, T-I-A-N-H-E. Harmony of the heavens. It's the first space station component to launch, and it'll be joined in low Earth orbit later

by two slightly smaller elements, forming a T-shaped space station. The China aims to complete by the end of next year, 2022. They're sending up 11 launches to get this done. Incredible. So now we're letting China have a space station as well as the ISS. I thought the ISS was for everybody. I mean, I believe that it's just ours, and we're letting the other countries use it.

I think they probably believe the same thing. But now we're going to have China have its own. Okay. All right. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. I will say that it was a little strange watching the liftoff. Because you know how we have our liftoff, we've seen it go a bunch of times. And, you know, it's three, two, one.

And then it takes up. The footage they showed of this thing taken off was they showed one guy saying, you know, counting down three, two, one in whatever language they speak. And, uh, stop it. Don't look at me like that. And, uh, then he, you know, three, two, one. And he sits back. And then nothing happens on the launch pad for a few seconds and then it fires up and you know takes off and I'm like wait a second what's I mean and then he said it he goes three two one and sits back and somebody else says the number again. I mean I guess they're waiting to go ahead from you know from the all supreme leader to take off and not this guy at the space center I don't know it was just really weird here I don't know I don't what I'll play

it for you. See what I mean? It took forever after the guy counted down. I mean, it was like almost 10 seconds. Almost 10 seconds between the time. He said, you know, what I think he said, you know, take off or lift off. And then the, you know, the world supreme leader in China said take off. And then it was like 10 seconds.

It was about eight seconds, actually, before it actually fired in. I mean, we got to pick that delay up. That's got to be taken care of, first and foremost, in the Chinese space program. That can't happen. We've got to fix that delay. And speaking of space, you know, we talked about SpaceX before getting the $2.9 billion contract for the lunar lander from NASA. Of course.

And I told you this to begin with. I told you it was going to happen. Jeff Bezos, because they talked about how Blue Origin was going to postpone some stuff. And he got all butt hurt. And now he's challenging. NASA's decision. And it wouldn't surprise me. It would not surprise me at all to see this new administration's NASA decide to give it to Jeff Bezos instead of and take it away from Elon. But Elon's, you know, a pretty strong, pretty strong case so far. So we'll see. We'll see who ends up

with the $2.9 billion contract. It'd be interesting to see if Mr. Bezos, you know, donated to the Biden campaign at all. Not that that would have anything to do with it. I'm just thinking out loud. Oh, and one more space story. I'm sad, actually. Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins died yesterday at the age of 90 after battling cancer. Wow, 90 years old.

And he's battling cancer. In 1969, Collins joined Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in the first moon landing. But Collins never stepped foot on the lunar surface. He had to be pissed. Come on, just let me step out. Come on. So he held down the fort at the command module, and he flew the spacecraft solo.

But so, so what? It was Aldrin and Armstrong that walked on the moon. So he became the forgotten astronaut because, hey, he didn't step on the moon, man. He's back, you know, he's driving the ship. It was big deal for them. I mean, Armstrong and Aldrin, he was a hero to them, holding down the fort.

flying the thing by himself, and he was also remembered as a, you know, true pioneer. But, you know, he got, he ended up overseeing the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in D.C. And, you know, he was a huge, it was a big guy. He's an astronaut, man. He's one of the, you know, one of the first guys on the moon. But, you know, he didn't walk on the way. Guys, hey, look, I'm over. Remember me? Yeah, you didn't, you didn't get out of the module. We saw you sitting over there, but you didn't get a chance to walk on the moon. Anyway, He passed away yesterday at the age of 90. Rest in peace, astronaut Michael Collins.

So remember when we talked about how Apple and some of the other podcast companies were going to have you, they were going to change the way you talked about subscriberships, right? Subscribe. A lot of people felt that when you subscribe to something that meant you had to pay for it. And so they wanted you to like or follow a particular podcast or show that was, free because, you know, it's better than saying subscribe to it, of course, like I do, but I always made a big deal out of, you know, wherever free podcasts are sold, stuff like that. That was the original thought behind my stupid line.

Well, we talked about Apple announcing that it's going to start charging or have a way for you to pay for podcast subscriptions. Then yesterday, we found out that Spotify, has got details on new subscription features. And so, you know, remember how you pay for digital content, you know, newspapers and all that kind of stuff behind paywalls. So Apple's plan for 1999 a year, podcasters can access features to turn their shows into subscription offerings.

Apple takes 30% cut of the revenue for the first year and 15% the following years. So you got to pay Apple 20 bucks. and then you can charge for your podcast, and they take 30% of what you make the first year and 15% the following year. Spotify is going to make it easier for podcasters to find advertisers and the ability to distribute premium podcasts on other platforms. It's also letting podcasters keep 100% of subscription revenues until 2023, when a 5% fee kicks in.

So they've got to be able to, if they help you find advertisers, that means if advertisers start advertising with a particular podcast, then Spotify's got to get a kick from them too, right? I can't be doing that for free. Anyway. So we'll see Apple is naming iPod plus broadcast. Not really that ingenious, but Spotify has 2.2 million podcasts. expected to pass Apple and US pod listeners this year.

So Spotify and Apple are, you know, blasting back and forth for biggest podcast and listeners. So we know that some podcasts have paid memberships. Most are free and openly distributed like this one. Leading platforms are now doubling down on subscriptions. So they're saying, hey, get more accustomed to paying for your favorite show. NPR just revealed paid subscriptions for ad-free podcasts accessible through Apple and Spotify.

So you can get the NPR podcast without the commercials by paying for them through Apple and Spotify. Okay. All right. You can do without the ads, but you still have to pay for it. All right. No problem. Come on now. We'll see.

I mean, I saw where Facebook revels. increased 48% this last quarter. Yeah, we hate Facebook, don't we? We hate them so much. They made 48% more. Wow. Now, they talk about that growth could decline thanks to Apple's new privacy policies, and we'll see they've been Apple and Facebook have been, you know, fighting back and forth.

Alphabet, you know, Google, sales grew 34% to a record 55.3 billion. more than doubled profits. Wow. Their digital ad business, YouTube, the cloud service, I mean, holy cow, doing some serious money. Microsoft posted strong results. Recorded the biggest quarterly jump in PC shipments in more than 20 years. Starbucks, same store sales have returned to pre-pandemic levels.

Traffic down by 10%, but the average order has. increased 21%. I don't know. They say, you know, they, you know, it's because of some of their cold brew and stuff. I would say maybe, you know, the average order has increased because of the price, but, you know, who knows? Plus, they've been closing a bunch of stores too, right? We've done some stories where some of those Starbucks stores are gone.

And one of the big Starbucks stores that I pass every day driving into the studios, gone. I mean, there's a brand new one that opened up not. long ago, it is backed up two and three to a mule every day during drive time. I mean, that thing is cranked. I see the manager shows up about 4.4.30 every morning. I, you know, I'm guessing it's the manager. The person who runs the joint is there early every day. But during morning and afternoons, that place is packed. More importantly, the drive-thru. And then J.P. Morgan expects all U.S. workers to be back in offices by early July on a consistent rotational schedule.

Oh, that's nice. That's nice. You're going to be back in the offices 100% on a consistent rotational schedule. No word on whether they're going to have to be vaccinated or not. Sure, that will be interesting if that happens. I see where CES is returning to Las Vegas in 2022. that's huge. Tesla said the market value of its Bitcoin holdings, $2.5 billion. It invested $1.5 billion in the first quarter of this year, so it's already up a billion.

Incredible. Wing, the drone division of Alphabet, delivering Girl Scout cookies in Virginia already. I mean, we're already getting drone deliveries now in Virginia. Why am I not getting drone deliveries in DFW? What is going on? I feel like I'm living in caveman days here in Fort Worth. Why can't I get drone deliveries? So we have definitely made the turn in this country to not be able to decide for ourselves. When we talked yesterday about Joe Rogan in trouble again, you know, Spotify, and, you know, he's claiming, you know,

they're falsely accusing him of saying you don't need to get vaccinated, which is not what he said. But then, of course, we have to talk to the great Anthony Fauci who said, Joe Rogan's comments are incorrect. You're talking about yourself in a vacuum. I worried about yourself getting infected in the likelihood that you're not going to get any symptoms, but you can get infected and will get infected if you put yourself at risk. Well, duh. No kidding.

And he talked about people are inadvertently. and innocently spreading the virus. So when asked directly, do you think young people, healthy people, should get vaccinated? What do you think Dr. Fauci's response was? Here, let me spell the word for you. A, B, S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y.

So I guess that's pronounced absolutely. Of course, that's what he's going to say. So you don't get to decide now. I mean, sure, you know, everyone now is saying, yeah, well, you can decide, but not really. I mean, we're not telling you have to get the vaccine. But if you say you're not going to get the vaccine, we're going to crush you on social media and in public. And we're going to say that you don't know what you're talking about and you're spreading faults. I'm sorry, misleading information.

And we can't have that whatsoever, can we? but Pfizer CEO and chairman said that the biopharmaceutical company, you know, they have their own COVID-19 vaccine, but they could publicly release an antiviral drug designed to treat the coronavirus by the end of this year. So it's called, and this is a great name for it, it's called PF-07321.1.1. 1332. Man, do I want... Can you give me the antiviral COVID-19 you know, drug? Are you

referring to PF-07332-1-332? Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing. Can you put that on a prescription for me, please? So it's an antiviral drug intended for oral ingestion in COVID-19 positive patients when the illness is first detected. It also is

testing and intervenous option. The treatment is anticipated to be effective against varying strains of the deadly virus. So why do I need the vaccine again? I just was wondering. It's just a question I have. Now, the answer, of course, is, well, you need the vaccine because this has not been introduced to the public yet, and it may not even be introduced to the public. And plus, if you get the vaccine, you'll be able to get back to normal. See, that's why the polls say that more and more people don't want the vaccine or they're thinking twice about the vaccine, because you told us forever,

the same people that are telling us to get the vaccine now were the same people that say they were nervous about the vaccine because Donald Trump had something to do with it. It's just incredible. But now we're all supposed to get vaccinated, which they, they have all been vaccinated, by the way. And so, and they still, tell us that we can't get back to normal yet. Well, the point of the vaccine, the reason that many of us

bought into the lockdown was because, you know, we needed to be safe and we didn't want to spread this horrible disease, this horrible virus. And now you're saying, hey, get vaccinated, but you can't go back to the way things were. Why? If that's the case, then why do I need to get the vaccine? I should just go about my day-to-day life and be very careful if I don't want to get the disease, which I don't personally. And I still, I have not got the vaccine yet. And if I get it, I'll tell you. But I'm not against it.

Most definitely, I'm not against them. My father-in-law, I actually just had his, you know, second dose of the Moderna. And, you know, I've got people in this house giving me a hard time for not getting it yet. But I just feel, and I'm not, I will not. I won't give it. My kids are healthy. And they're fine. And they're, you know, there's no point in them getting the vaccine.

Just be silly. On top of which, I might add, that we have not actually, while our life has, you know, changed some. Thanks to the COVID-19 and the lockdowns and everything. And I mean that, like, you know, where there are things that we used to do that we don't do and places you go, stuff like that. But for the most part, when there was something we wanted to. to do, we did it. I know that comes as a shock to a lot of people around the country,

but it's just, I mean, we went, we went places. Sure, we had to wear a mask and most, most of the time. But we traveled places. I traveled to different cities. It's just amazing. And we were, you know, you're extra careful. You just don't do the, the little things,

some of the little things that you used to do because you're nervous about getting COVID-19. and, you know, because originally we were told that it couldn't get on surfaces, and then they said it could be on surfaces, and then they said it can't be on surfaces. So what the hell is it? But we're going to crush all these people that tell you not to get vaccinated. It's just an amazing thing that we've turned into, and it's just an amazing thing. But I ask again, if they are going to release a new antiviral drug designed to treat the coronavirus.

by the end of 2021, why would I get the vaccine if I could get PF 07332-132 either orally or intervenously when I get the disease? Now, they said, you know, this is when the illness is first detected. So if we don't catch it in time,

you still need to have the vaccine. Because I thought that you couldn't get it for a while after you got the vaccine, but that, I guess, isn't 100% true. so there are still reports of people who have been 100% vaccinated and still get COVID-19? Oh, that's a different strain, Jeff. Oh, okay. All right.

I'll give you that. I'll give you that. So I should then get the vaccine and I should also then be ready to take the PF 0732-1-332. And he didn't say, if I get the vaccine, can I still take PF-0732-132? I don't know. I don't know. And what if I've already had COVID-19 and I have already kicked COVID-19? Can I take PF-07-3-2-1-332?

Or do I not take it? There's no, I'm not sure about that. We didn't get, this article didn't get into any of the variables. It's in the phase one clinical trials. So we'll see, you know, in the near future how that is going. because I remember talking about this a little bit of when they first started talks of the trials. So now we're in the phase one of the trials. So, you know, hopefully, hopefully they come up and they say that PF-07321332 is all good.

And we come up with a, you know, perhaps a better, better name. But I'm good with PF-0732-1-332 if it takes away COVID-19. after I catch it, heck yeah, I'm taking PF 07332. If I remember right, they talked originally about this being a five-day plan where you have to go through their whole protocols of taking the antiviral medicine for five days. At least that was the original story, if I remember right. And it's just, I mean, we have drugs that we do that with now.

What's it called? Predazone, I think. It's prozone. I'm not, I can't remember, but it's a five or seven day program and you start off with and you take 100 and then you drop down to 80 and you drop down. I know it's not 100. I got it. Okay. But you take like six or seven the first day and then four or five the next day, then three the next day, then two the next day, one the next day. And that's, you know, through the, that's the protocol that you would do. So perhaps that's the same kind of protocol that you would do with. the new antiviral drug, PF-732-12-132.

Okay. Now, I didn't talk, you know, hardly at all about our president's speech last night, for those of you listening live on the 29th of April, which, you know, he did it last night. Today is actually his 100th day in office, but he didn't want to go up against the NFL draft that starts tonight. We'll see who gets drafted first.

We may have to do a special podcast on that. But all of that, And I know, are we supposed to whisper this? Actually, we're not supposed to talk politics anymore in the office, are we? So we're supposed to whisper. This is break room whispers. I'm supposed to start that, that's right. Break room whispers.

Hey, did you see President's speech last night? Yeah. He really is turning this country into communism, isn't he? So, break room whispers, no doubt about it. Did you see also that Donald Trump is planning to bring back the MAGA rallies? Really? Yeah. Wouldn't that be something?

That would be amazing. Oh, hey boss. Yeah, it would be amazing. We're talking about the new chip and the new way that we're going to implement the chip into the program. But, you know, just catching a soda here real quick here in the break room.

All right, yeah. Yeah, no, I'll email everyone on the chain and give them an update this afternoon. Okay, no problem. No problem. Hey, did you see where the Cuban refugee warned that Americans have already swallowed the communism pill.

Yeah, I did see that, but I didn't think much of it because I figured he's right. I know, I know, right? Did you see where they went ahead and they raided Giuliani's apartment yesterday? And they're trying to say that it's not political? Come on now? That's just crazy. They raided Giuliani's apartment, but they haven't done anything with John Kerry. leaking State Department secrets to Iran.

They haven't done really anything to Hunter Biden. You know, President Biden's son that's not Bo, Hunter. Yeah, they haven't done anything with him. And, you know, they've got his laptop and stuff. But so what, right? They haven't done anything with him? But, I mean, they're braiding Giuliani's apartment. Come on.

Anything to do with Trump, man. If he brings back those MAGA rallies, that will be something. You want to talk about them thinking about white national. and the division in this country, they will most imperil. Oh, hey, Julie, how you doing? Yeah, now we're just hanging out here in the break room, you know, talking, uh, talking a little, little work, you know.

Yeah, man, remember the days when we could talk about politics and stuff in here, made everybody mad and, you know, and now thank God we don't have to talk about that stuff anymore, right? Ha, right. Okay. I know. I know. Okay.

We'll see you. We'll see you back in the office. is a little bit, okay? All right. I know. It would be incredible if he started those mega rallies again. Plus, he'd probably beat up on Kamala Harris, right? How does she get away with being African-American? I don't know why he didn't beat up on it even more. I mean, you're talking about her father coming from Jamaica and her mother is from India. How are you an African-American? How? Right? I know. I mean, look, I know that they say, I know they say that the suggestion that Jamaicans are connected to Africa is wrong, that the vast majority of Jamaicans hail from sub-Saharan Africa, according to both Cincinnati and genetic studies.

But still, it's still pretty strange. But I guess, you know, I guess that's the way. Hey, boss. Hey. Yeah. Hey, we're coming. Yep, we're on our way. I'll talk to you later, okay?

Oh,
