It's not just you. News is moving faster than ever, and I'm hoping that I can help you make sense of it all.
My name is Jamie Plozzo and I host Canada's most popular daily news podcast. It's called Frontburner.
We break down one story each day and talk to the reporters, the politicians, and people at the heart of it.
Our goal is to help you stay informed without feeling overwhelmed. You can find and follow Frontburner on Spotify.
Have you ever walked out to your mailbox and found a dryer,
sheet in your mailbox?
I haven't either.
But according to a story I read last night, if the postal worker leaves a dryer sheet in your
mailbox, that's because it's, well, it's for your safety and the postal worker's safety.
Because I guess it's a, you know, a well-known postal service secret that dryer sheets
help keep bees and wasps away.
Right?
I didn't know.
I've used dryer sheets as, you know,
I've run out of deodorant,
so I break them in half
and I put one under each armpit for, you know,
for a deodorant.
That's actually true.
But I've never had a postal worker
leave a dryer sheet in my mailbox.
And I didn't know if I did it,
that would keep the bees and the wasps away from the mailbox.
I just thought,
I look at the mailbox, oh look, it looks like there's a nest forming.
I'll get rid of the nest.
But no, the dryer sheet is preventative wasp and yellow jacket maintenance.
So if you find a dryer sheet in your mailbox, it's for everyone's safety.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
We have a new ant species.
that's been discovered in Ecuador.
Yes, I know.
There's plenty of animals and bugs dying on the planet,
thanks to climate change.
But we actually are discovering new species all the time.
So perhaps the Earth is just doing what the Earth does.
But I digress.
Thanks to a find in Ecuador,
we have a new discovery of an ant.
And rather than give it a traditional gendered Latin,
suffix. We wanted to celebrate gender diversity. So the ant was discovered by Philip
Hona at the Technical University of Damstadt, Germany. A couple years ago in 2018,
he sent a photograph to the taxonomic expert Douglas Boar of Yale University who recognized it as a new
species in the strumogenes, in the strum, in the strum, in the ant. And we wanted to give
it a gender neutral name.
So we named it.
Ayers, A-Y-E-R-S, who was a protege of Andy Warhol in the 70s.
And he died in 2016.
He was identified as a gay man outside of his Warhol character.
But they went ahead and named it after him with the suffix, they.
So the new aunt is a...
Struly, Deney.
Ayers they.
Strel may to me,
Ares they.
So congratulations.
In the world today, we have a newly discovered
Antspecy from Ecuador
that is gender neutral.
Huh?
I know.
I mean, the taxonomic expert,
Douglas Boer, who also asked Michael Stipe,
the lead singer of the band REM,
who was a mutual friend of heirs,
you know, the Andy Warhol,
progeny to join him in writing the etymology section of the paper outlining the new species so according to bear or boer b o ho h er there are
853 new species in the strumogenes genus but the new ant was immediately identifiable as unique it's very different from any ant in the genus
there's a lot of convergent evolution so that a lot of species in
in different countries look alike but aren't related.
So it was a special ant.
And he's been waiting for something like this to represent gender diversity and biological diversity.
Oh, man.
And now he was asked whether he's going to use the they suffix to name future species.
And he says, look, I'll use female, male, or non-binary suffix,
depending on the wishes of the person the species is named after.
So, man, that is good, good news.
So the new species, the S-T-R-U-M-I-G-E-N-Y-S,
airs they.
Strel me to me.
Ears they.
Got to be a proud, proud,
Ecuadorian ant.
As long as we're talking about bugs,
we may as tell you that if you live in Maryland,
you are close to have,
a cicada battle on your hand.
According to all the powers that be, within the next seven to ten days, maybe two weeks, tops, you're going to have trillions of cicadas that are about to emerge.
The University of Maryland entomologists find at least seven zucatas in maybe a little.
third of a square foot of dirt.
So that rate is just shy of a million per acre.
Holy cow.
And there's much more a foot.
The cicadas of brood X, or the X standing for Roman numeral 10, so brood 10, will emerge
after 17 years underground.
Now, there are many broods of periodic cicadas that appear on their rigid schedules and
different years, but this one is one of the largest and most notable.
They'll be in 15 states, from Indiana to Georgia to New York.
They're coming out now in mass numbers in Tennessee and North Carolina.
I bet you can't wait for the Brude X to show up because you're going to get nothing but days of.
And those are the males.
The males are out looking for cicada business.
Oh, man, do you have something to look forward to with that?
Going all night and day, especially at nighttime.
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
It's apparently a race for,
you know looking for business and then dying so you got a couple it is going to be cicada hell soon in all of those states so have fun and i mean it
good luck god bless oh man tell me you don't want to just burn down the trees i already just want to burn down the trees i don't care if they're broodecks or not whatever
type of cicada they are.
Oh, but Jeff, that's Mother Nature's
circle of life. They come out.
They're in the ground for 17 years.
They look for biddeness, and then they dry
up and die, and they go back into the ground
for fertilizer and other animals
and bugs eat them, so it's the
circle of life. Uh-huh.
Uh-huh, and it's going to be more of a circle of life
when I have to hear this for all day and night.
I'll tell you that.
No,
thank you.
All right.
So you know, I am a big believer in the Guinness Book of World Records.
I love them.
I think that I am so disappointed in my life right now that I do not have a Guinness
World Record to my name or to a show that I'm affiliated with as being a part of it.
And that's going to change sometime in my lifetime.
I will not, I don't want to leave this planet until I have a Guinness World Record.
So I want to say, I feel your pain at Lake Ridge Academy in Ohio.
They attempted to set a Guinness World Record for the largest amount of cereal boxes in like a domino fall-down effect.
And they set it all up in their gymnasium.
They had Guinness there.
They were going to knock down 4,567 cereal boxes during their record attempt.
Okay.
Now, they were going to try to defeat the current world record, which was set back in 2020, January of 2020, in Kansas City, Missouri.
the Kansas City Centurians knocked down 3,990 cereal boxes in domino fashion.
So they set it all up in their gymnasium, they had it all ready to go, and off they went.
Tutu-to-to-to----------------- no, it stops.
Oh, man.
Now, I don't know why they couldn't try it again.
You know, I don't know how many, I guess DeGennis guy said, nope, hey, have a nice day.
That's good.
You can't set them back up.
I got to go.
Look at the time.
We're done here.
But they had it all taken care of.
They had people donate the boxes.
It was the crispy oats or oats crispy or whatever the heck it was, cereal boxes.
And they had it donated.
They donated it all to the Second Harvest Food Bank and North Ridgeville Community Care.
And it was all done for a really good cause.
And they had collection partnerships with Mercy Health and North Ridgefield Police Department.
and parents, community, coalition partners.
And all that was really cool.
It was a cool thing that they did.
But they didn't do it.
It failed.
So, I mean, I think I could meet that.
I think we could set that up at Mercury Studios.
That's just another one.
I mean, I might hold more than one.
I mean, I know that we've talked to,
we've talked to my man, Joel Strasser,
Joel Nurt, you know,
who has several, multiple Guinness World Records.
And he's been on the show,
and you can go back and see the interview
on my YouTube channel Chewing the Fat,
and he's awesome,
but he's a show of because he has a bunch of them,
and he ticks me off because I don't have one, okay?
I don't even know why I follow him on Instagram or Twitter,
wherever the hell I follow him at on YouTube.
I don't even know why anymore,
because he ticks me off,
because I don't have one and he has a bunch.
Where's the equity in that?
No, I stop it.
I love him, and it's, don't even look at me like that.
I don't believe in that equity bull crap,
but I get it.
I think I could do this at Mercury Studios,
with the cereal boxes.
I mean, you only have to beat 3,000.
You only have to have 4,000 cereal boxes.
They tried to do it with the, you know, over 4,000.
Holy cow, you only had to get to 4,000 to have the record.
And then you're good.
But I don't understand.
I'd like to have, I wondered what the deal was why Guinness just left.
Hey, we're here.
Got to go.
Look at the time.
You can't set them back up again.
It takes too long.
And it's just not going to happen today.
Good luck.
God bless.
Take care.
But it really sucks.
And, you know, congratulations at least for trying.
and, you know, I'm bummed that you didn't get it.
But congratulations.
I'm sure the people in Kansas City, Missouri, the Kansas City Centurans are like, yeah.
Yeah, take that.
You little punks from Ohio.
I'm sure their official release was, oh, it was such a fine try.
And we really rooted for them.
Did you?
Did you?
Hey, remember a few decades ago when private citizens used to be private?
Now you know what's changed that, don't you?
The internet.
Think about everything that you've browsed, searched for, watched, tweeted, Facebook, Instagram.
Now imagine all of that data, which we talk about all the time of the show, being sifted through, crawled through, looked at, collected, aggregated by third parties into your permanent public record.
Yeah, your record.
having your private life exposed for others to see
once was something only, you know,
celebrities worried about.
But in an era where everyone's online,
everyone is a public figure.
So where do I keep my data private when I go online?
ExpressVPN.
I turn to ExpressVPN.
There are hundreds of data brokers out there
whose sole business is to buy and sell your data.
You know that.
You see it in action every day.
And if you want to kind of, you know, put a stop to that action, ExpressVPN.
One of those data points is your IP address.
Data harvests use your IP to uniquely identify you and your location.
But with ExpressVPN, my connection and yours, if you get it, gets rerouted through an encrypted server and by IP address and yours will be masked.
Every time I turn on ExpressVPN, I'm given a random IP address shared by other ExpressVPN.
customers and that makes it more difficult for third parties to identify me and harvest my data and
I can't tell you how how calm I feel when I log on and I know ExpressVPN is locked in.
I mean it man I love it your phone laptops smart TV I have to do is tap one button and you are
protected with ExpressVPN so if you're like me and you believe your data is your business
secure yourself with the number one rated VPN on the market.
Now, I'm going to tell you a way to get three extra months for free.

Speaking of high school, and not the good kids at Lake Ridge Academy in North Ridgeville, Ohio,
who attempted to break the Guinness World Book of Records on the cereal boxes topped
in domino fashion.
I know they failed, but everything was for a good cause.
So good for them, and, you know, good luck and try again if I don't beat you first.
But then we go to a Scambia, Florida.
Oh, I'm seeing Scambia County, Florida in the school district.
we have Emily Rose Grover and mom Laura Rose Carol 50 Emily's 18 she was still a minor when she and her mother broke into the school's internal computer system in order to fix the votes for her to be a homecoming queen
now they're both going to be tried as an adult and they are really you know the prosecutors are going after them really I think it's
more, not so much about the
this is what broke them out
and what brought everything to
the forefront was the rigging
of the homecoming queen votes.
But mom
worked for the school.
And she apparently
has friends who she's bragged
to about using her mom's password
to get in and access
school records
and access grades
and access
all kinds of things to
worked to her advantage.
And, you know, mom had to know.
Right.
I mean, you're not using your mom's password to do all that and win the homecoming queen votes without mom knowing.
So they, you know, the IP address, uh-huh, not using ExpressVPN, by the way, which is good for everyone involved.
Uh, hundreds, they cast a bunch of votes for her in the system called election runner.
And the investigators were all like, hey.
this all came from the same IP address.
What's going on?
They don't, or they haven't released, I should say.
They don't know how they were maintaining unauthorized access for years without detection
because their users are supposed to change their passwords every 45 days,
which means mom knew, right?
She had to have known.
I know that everything's supposed to be perfect while the staff is, you know,
following the FDLE
Focus
Student Information Technology Systems
updates with the staff
responsible use of guidelines
for technology. I'm sure all of that
was completely up to date, so Mom
had to have known. But they're going to
be charged with
one count each of
offenses against users of
computers, computer systems,
computer networks, and electronic
devices,
unlawful use of a two-way
communications device, criminal use of personally identifiable information and conspiracy.
So I'm sure, you know, they're going to be tried as adults.
They'll probably work out a deal, right?
I mean, you drop a couple of these offenses and they plead guilty to, I don't know what,
do you plead guilty to criminal use of personally identifiable information and conspiracy?
And you serve, what, five years in jail?
Because they can get a maximum of 16 years in prison with all of this.
So here's my, here's my thought.
They're going to plead out so they don't have to go to trial.
And they'll, you know, of course, you know, they can't, you know,
they'd be lucky to be able to live in Escambia County anymore in Florida.
Escambia, I know.
And so they'll still live there.
Those are the dark people.
We don't like those people over there.
They're criminals.
she cheated to become
Homecoming Queen
That's Emily Rose
And Laura Rose
Oh, okay
All right
They have different last names, though
They'll be changing their names soon
Emily Rose Grover and Laura Rose Carol
Will be having different names very soon
But they, I mean, with all of those charges
16 years, a maximum of 16 years
Come on now
No way.
They plead out, they plead guilty
to criminal use of personally identifiable information
and conspiracy, or they'll plead guilty to a couple of these charges,
and a couple of these charges will be dropped,
and they'll spend about five years in jail,
two in jail, three probation,
done deal. Mark my words.
That's a chewing of fat guarantee.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something desperately cold to drink,
or something cold to drink desperately,
whichever way that works.
Oh, man, I don't know if I ever told you.
that before or not. So just a reminder
that you should be a
subscriber to this show. Chewing
the Fat with Jeff Fisher. If you're listening
right now and you're not a subscriber,
you know, you need
to change your life and subscribe to chewing
the fat. When I asked, I did the story about
people telling themselves
what they would tell themselves if they could
go back 10 years ago
and tell themselves
about now. One
of the responses was
I tell myself to
rate and subscribe to chewing the fat on October 1st, 2018.
Duh.
Well, thank you, Braden.
You're 100% right.
Now, you know, you know, when's the best time to plant a tree?
You know, yesterday or today.
Either one.
So if you haven't planted that tree, which would be subscribing to chewing the fat,
that's the whole, you know, point of the story.
It would be subscribed today.
So subscribe to chewing the fat and turn your life around.
You can choose whatever platform.
If you're sneaking a listen now on one of your friends' platforms,
go ahead and use their platform,
or you can choose one that you would prefer.
There's a plethora of platforms out there
that carry this show chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
Okay?
All right.
Just leave it at that.
The only way you get off or you get around,
I don't rephrase that,
the only way you get around sneak and listen
without being a subscriber,
let's say you're a kid,
and you love the show and your parents are subscribed to the show,
then you know what, it's okay to be a freeloader.
That's okay.
You know, if you're like Lillian, or as, you know,
her family calls her lilybug,
and she loves the show,
and she loves chewing the fat,
she loves Walking Dead, she loves Fear of the Walking Dead,
and her dad says, most importantly,
she loves this show, chewing the fat.
Well, if you're like Lillian,
I'm not, you know, on the inner,
family sanctum, so I don't want to call her a lilybug, that's okay. You could just sneak those
listens in when other people are listening. That's fine. According to Dad, she believes that,
I mean, she has got to be a genius child, first of all. Let's just be clear about it. She's got to
be a genius. If she hasn't been, she hasn't been dubbed a genius yet, I mean, it's already,
it's a done deal. She's a genius. She thinks that I'm the greatest person on the radio,
and she thinks that I still like to draw my face on stakes.
She's right, which makes her a genius 100%.
So thank you for listening, Lillian.
I appreciate it.
And you are 100% right.
There's no question.
And speaking of stakes, did you see where there's studies out now
because I didn't realize that it's no meat, may?
You can write your own jokes.
But what they're talking about is men and humans.
are I love meat.
So this, apparently this is
No Meat May,
a group that encourages people
to give up meat for a month
because of climate change
and fighting against toxic masculinity.
Well, there's, I think it's two separate studies
requested from No Meat May.
There's one that talks about a study
that the surveyed a thitherly
thousand male participants.
And there's another study that talks about from the United Kingdom,
where they surveyed 2,000 people by one poll for no meet may.
So I'm not really, you know,
that's got to be two separate things for the no meet may group, right?
So the first story talks about the study that surveyed a thousand male participants.
73% of the men said they would rather die.
10 years early, then quit eating meat anymore.
And I will say, the picture of the steaks on this story,
I am so hungry for steak, I cannot tell you I want that steak so bad.
It looks tremendous.
So it says in here that 81% supposedly care about the climate crisis.
79% would not give up meat for it.
Duh, everyone, you know, we all, if asked, do you believe in climate change?
Well, yes, just not the way that you believe in climate change.
So according to, you know, this, the co-founder Ryan Alexander of No Meat May,
significant research over many years has shown that eating meat and other animal products
increases the risk of developing certain cancers, heart disease, obesity,
and having a reduced life expectancy.
not to mention one of the biggest contributors to global warming and the destruction of our environment.
See, this is where they go too far.
I'll give you the health stuff.
Maybe, maybe.
But I'm not giving you the biggest contributors to global warming and the destruction of our environment.
No.
And it also says in this survey that Australian men,
they're not even aware of these facts and they don't even.
they're not even aware of these facts and they don't care.
It doesn't matter.
The scientists, however, suggest there are numerous health benefits to eating meat.
And Ryan doesn't talk about any of that.
Really?
Yeah, reduced epistide, increased metabolism, retention of muscle mass, stronger bones,
better iron absorption.
Just to name a couple of things.
You know, that meat is good at.
But then when you go to the other study, the one from the United Kingdom,
this study says they surveyed 2,000.
thousand people and the percentages were 70% more than one in ten said giving up would 70% said no way
two thirds of the men in britain said they would rather die five to ten years early than give up meat
okay but more than one in ten so that's one and a half uh in ten said giving up meat would
make them feel less masculine and a third said they believe
humans were meant to eat meat.
Thank you.
Compared to one quarter of the women surveyed.
Two thousand people, more than one in 20 men surveyed said they also would rather go to jail than stop eating meat.
That may be coming.
That might not be funny in too soon a time.
So don't be joking around about that.
Now, the survey also found that many men and women would consider a plant-based diet in exchange for certain health benefits.
maybe.
I mean, that's, I'd like to see how, you know,
how the questions were,
how the questions were formed and asked as part of this.
18% of men survey said they would stop eating meat
if it improved their sexual performance
and 35% said if it improved their health.
Okay.
A survey also found increasing numbers of young people
following meat-free diets
in a trend that has been eagerly adopted by
British supermarket and popular food change in recent years.
Yeah, well, increasing number of young people.
So they think that they're helping the climate.
I mean, they're all climate change believers.
Around half of the Brits surveyed said they had at least one female friend
who is a vegetarian or a vegan compared to 38% who have had male friends following the diets.
Wow.
For those over age 65, it reduces just 15% who have a vegetarian, male or friend.
and 6% who know a man following a vegan diet.
Yeah, I used to know somebody, but he's dead.
So that's just the way it goes.
I don't know anybody anymore.
So the overall overwhelming percentage, wow, 81% on the first and 70% in the second
would rather die 10 years early than give up meat.
That's pretty incredible.
And a big percentage, I would rather go to jail than give up meat.
that may be coming, my friend, that may be coming.
Speaking of jail,
did you see where the Missouri woman,
who sentenced to 10 years in prison
after she pled guilty to smuggling a loaded gun
into the jail in her,
hoo-ha?
I know.
I know the medical term is vagina.
I can say it.
It's okay.
So during the court hearing,
pled guilty,
which,
meant that she said, yes, I'm guilty of delivery or concealment of the weapon, a small 22-caliber
revolver that was fully loaded with five rounds. She was sentenced to serve a decade in the custody of the
Missouri Department of Corrections. She's currently being held at the Women's Eastern Reception
Diagnostic and Correctional Center, a state intake facility. Boy, I bet you that's a fun place to be at.
Now, you'd think, wow, 10 years for that? Well, she's previously done stretches.
in state prison was arrested in February on gun and narcotics charges.
And that's when she was booked into the Boone County Jail in Columbia,
home of the University of Missouri, by the way.
They searched her.
They found nothing.
And then they did a body cavity search and they found nothing.
So it was, that gun was up there.
That gun was up there ways.
She was in lockup for 17 days.
Okay?
17 days.
And then they found the gun in her.
possession wrapped in some kind of plastic and it was under you know with the blankets and stuff
and it was concealed with all her other belongings now she admitted to possessing the firearm
but said it's not mine i was just holding it for one of those other women over there in the same
unit and all the other women were like no uh it ain't mine that's hers
nobody took the fall it was all now it was hers so uh she gets 10 years
years in prison. So if you go to prison for not eating meat, do not try to sneak a little small
caliber 22 revolver up any orifice because if you get busted, you're in big trouble.
So the big news yesterday about COVID-19, well, obviously, you know, countries are on fire.
But the Biden administration said that they were joining the calls for more sharing of technology
behind COVID-19 vaccines.
Yeah, you know, that whole intellectual property thing,
you know, that doesn't count now.
It's for, you know, it's for people's safety
and the livelihood and life.
And we need those temporary waiver of protections.
It's just a temporary waiver.
Oh, okay.
That must be because the, you know, the UN
and the world health organization,
the world trade organization.
I'm sure they're all for this waiver of intellectual property.
Huh.
No kidding.
So I know that we are for it, but I kind of feel like this might be a way for us to say,
just we'll give you some.
We're not going to get rid of the intellectual property, but you get a bunch.
So I feel like maybe this is the way countries are saying,
hey, could you just help us some more, United States, please?
Could you just help us send us a bunch more vaccines?
because we don't want to spend the money and you're rich and you just send it to us,
okay, for free.
And that'll be our compromise to waiving the intellectual property because, I mean,
we had a story talking about Pfizer saying that the vaccine helped them do $3.5 billion in revenue
in the first quarter.
That's pretty good.
It seems like that's bad of a quarter.
so I know that
you know,
AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson
promised to produce their vaccines
at no profit to themselves.
Uh-huh.
But Moderna and Pfizer looked,
you know, they were like,
hello, hello?
Man, I lost the connection.
Lost the connection.
Pfizer was the only company
that didn't accept federal funds
for the vaccine.
vaccine production, saying, you know, we want to be able to move as quickly as possible with production.
And we are just worried that the politicians are going to, you know, lead us to
price gouging and messing with government funds.
So no, thank you.
We don't want to, we don't want to have anything to do with it.
Okay.
All right.
I mean, a Pfizer's looking to be, you know, the forerunner of starting to vaccinate our children.
They're looking for emergency use for kids 2 to 11
and emergency use for kids 12 to 15.
Holy cow.
So I just kind of feel like, you know,
if they start taking intellectual property away from these companies,
you know, on a temporary basis under the auspices of, you know,
safety and world sickness and all that humbumbo jumbo,
we are in worse trouble than I thought.
But I do know that we're coming back.
back and the businesses have had just about enough of not having people in the offices,
which is kind of good, I think.
I know Jamie Diamond, the J.P. Morgan CEO, said in an interview,
I'm about to cancel all my Zoom meetings.
I'm done with it.
Goldman Sachs' executives revealed a plan to, we're getting the staff back to their New York
City desk by June 14th.
And the United Kingdom staff?
Yeah, June 21st.
We want you back in the office.
J.P. Morgan, Jamie Diamond, wants 50% of its staff back in the office at least part-time by July.
Yeah, we talked about that.
They want that.
And some of that was more than part-time.
It seems like at least part-time by July.
But they were talking about, you know, we'll just come back part-time, you know, Monday through Friday.
That's not part-time.
But Deutsche Bank is preparing to move its New York City.
staff to its new headquarters starting in July.
And there's still going to be in New York, but they're just moving, I think, away from Wall Street,
if I remember.
They're moving to another place in Midtown, so still in New York.
And boy, nice of Andrew Cuomo to say, hey, we need to get Broadway back.
Isn't it?
It's amazing that he wants people on his side and coming back strong.
I wonder why that could be.
Huh.
I'm sure it's because he cares about the people and everything.
I'm sure it is.
So performances on Broadway are going to return September 14th.
Oh, isn't that nice?
Because they need time to, you know, advertise for the shows and get performers back up to speed
and create safety protocols and allow audiences to get vaccinated.
That's right.
Good luck seeing one of those Broadway shows.
They might let you sit outside of the building and listen.
We'll set up a speaker out there for you.
you non-vax people.
And so they, you know, look, look, a big selling point to coming to New York and visiting
is going to a Broadway show, right?
I mean, they make billions of dollars people coming to Broadway shows.
And so if you can't have the tourism, you're not going to be making all the money
that you thought you were going to make.
So maybe you just say, you know what, if you're in New York and you aren't vaccinated,
you can still come too.
We'll let you buy a ticket as well.
So we'll see how that goes.
I mean, there's so much, so much crazy news in COVID-19.
We are in such, you know, I don't know where we're at, to be honest with you.
I mean, we have people telling us we're reaching herd immunity.
We're having some people tell us we're not reaching herd immunity.
You know, like Anthony Fauci.
I don't know why we still listen to this guy.
He, you know, goes back and forth on everything that he says.
says all the time.
And now they're talking about, they're waiting, they're talking about, well, you know, COVID cases,
they could surge coming up here real soon.
And there's some outbreaks in the Western states.
So they're not in full retreat yet, but there's some outbreaks.
So the surge could be coming.
Well, I wonder why that could be.
I wonder why the surge could be coming.
And a couple of, I'm sure, completely unrelated.
stories.
Dozens of migrant children being held in Long Beach, California Convention Center test
positive for COVID-19.
Then we have more migrants in California in San Diego testing positive for COVID-19.
So I'm sure it's just a coincidence that we're getting, you know, our migrants and immigrants
coming to this country and testing positive for COVID-19 after they come into the country.
Right?
We get them in and they cross the border.
We don't test them.
Get them on a bus.
We ship them off.
And then when we get them to where we shipped them, then we test them.
It's too late then, my friends.
It's too late.
But, you know, it's all about the show.
Speaking of the show, I see where Marvel Studios just released their video of all the shows,
the new movies that are coming out with the Marvel Studios.
and their release dates.
So you got Black Widow coming out to July 9th, 2021.
Then you have Shang-She, Legend of the Ten Rings, September 3rd, 2021.
Then you have the Eternals, November 5th, 2021.
Marvel Studios, Spider-Man, No Way Home, December 17th, 2021.
Then you have Dr. Strange in the multiverse of madness.
March 25th, 2022.
Thor, Love and Thunder.
May 6th, 2020.
Then you have Black Panther, Wakanda Forever.
July 8th, 2022.
Marvel Studios, The Marvels, November 11th, 2020.
and then Ant-Man and the Wasp, Quantum Mania, February 17th,
20203.
Galaxies, I'm sorry, Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3, May 5th,
2023, Marvel Studios.
I'm telling you, man, they are knocking them out,
lining them out, Marvel Studios, that's their lineup.
And, you know, we'll see if they actually could meet that timeline,
but if they're promoting it, that's going to be the timeline
they're on right so good luck god bless so what do you do if you can't get lethal injection drugs
and you want to have the death penalty in your state well if you're like south carolina you'll
bring back the firing squad yes that's right so the house voted to finalize the bill which is
really meant to uh you know let's get these executions going i mean south carolina
used to be the busiest death chambers in the country.
I mean, between South Carolina, Florida, and Texas,
you know, if my memory serves me correctly,
those states are taking care of business and the death row.
So they're bringing back the firing squad.
Now, I haven't read the whole bill,
so I'm not sure, like, if they're saying that the inmate chooses
between the firing squad and the electric chair,
if legal lethal injection drugs aren't available.
So how do they choose?
I want the lethal injection.
Oh, darn, we don't have the drugs.
So we shoot you.
I mean, I'm not quite sure.
I've got to have to read this bill.
Because I want to know how many people are in the firing squad.
So, you know, the lethal injection, you just, you know, you have a couple of buttons and it goes.
Right.
So if they're going to shoot you, they usually have more than,
one shooter.
So, you know, only one or two have a bullet, one that actually, you know, one that actually
will kill you.
And the others don't.
So I'm really, I'm really interested to see, you know, do they have like 10 people that
line up?
I mean, you just pick people outside probably.
Hey, I need some shooters.
Okay.
First, first 10, you, you, you, you, let's go.
And you line them up and you.
Put them on the firing squad.
But South Carolina is in Columbia, South Carolina, by the way, home of the South Carolina
Gamecocks.
They want to get the death row back up and running.
So they're going to let you choose to get the firing squad.
So congratulations.
I know the governor said, look, just give me the bill.
I'll sign it.
As soon as he gets to my desk, we're there.
So they haven't had a death row inmate executed in 10 years.
I got to be getting backed up.
Once the governor signs that bill,
you can expect South Carolina to get a road up and let's go.
So I will read the bill.
I'll read the bill and I'll find out exactly how many different ways you can,
you know, go to your death on death row in South Carolina
and how you actually choose and how many shooters there's got to be.
It's going to be, I'm sure there's going to be a few lawsuits.
But it'll be a fun ride.
Not necessarily for the death row inmate.
But for me, you know, if you're going to go on a fun ride,
you might as well get paid for it.
Right?
You can quote me on that, by the way.
If you're going to go on a fun ride, you might as well get paid for it.
You may as well.
You might as well.
I guess I have to speak properly, correct.
And you know, if you're going to go on a fun ride, you may as well get paid for it.
Thank you.
That's a chewing the fat, Jeff Fisher quote.
You know, if you're going to go on a ride, you may as well get paid for it.
So Will Smith, I see, posted a picture of himself just in his underwear to his 53.2 million followers on Instagram.
And he is talking about, this is the body that carried me through an entire pandemic and countless days grazing through the pantry.
I love this body, but I want to feel better.
No more midnight muffins.
This is it.
I'm a get in the best shape of my life.
Team up with at YouTube to get my health and wellness back on track.
Hope it works.
And he tagged at Westbrook, which is his company,
and at Aidan.
Aiden Tanner, you know, is part of the project, I guess,
is the director and photographer.
So he's probably going to be documenting the process.
Now, Will's got a couple of big movies.
coming up in the pre-planning. He's got break two and bad boys four. So, you know, he's got to get
back into shape. And why not document it and make a little cash as well? I love him. I love him for it.
So he doesn't look bad, but I'm sure for Will to, uh, go, you know, to be in shape for these
movies. He's going to have to be in better shape than, than he's looking here. And he knows that. So good for him.
you know, why not document the whole thing and make some extra cash and get in shape for the movies?
And then he can, you know, that'll be two or three years down the road.
He'll be 55, 56.
He's already made a ton of money.
How much is Will Smith worth?
He's got to be worth a couple hundred million.
Yeah, according to this, $350 million.
So even if that's out of the realm, a couple hundred million, so he's doing okay.
But why not make a few hundred million?
few more bucks, right? And just document getting into shape and just throw it all out there and leave
it on the table. Good for you, Will, and we'll be, we'll be following you and see your document.
And, you know, he's got trainers and dietitians and it'll be, it'll be a fun ride to see it happen.
I mean, look at Mark Wahlberg, 49. He just talked about he's getting ready for his new upcoming
boxing film, Stu, spelled the same way, too, by the way.
I'm going to have to say that name again in my life and actually mean.
At least it isn't about, you know, that stew.
He talked about how much he's going to have to gain all this weight.
He said that he's gained 20 pounds in just three weeks for his character.
And he said that three weeks from now,
he's got to be captioned with a larger belly and thicker arms.
So he said, after they get done shooting, after we do the boxing scenes,
I get to put on as much weight as possible over the.
course of the film.
So I'm challenging myself to put on 30 pounds in the next six weeks.
Just call me, Mark.
Just call me.
I'll let you know.
I can walk you through how to make that happen.
Okay?
He said he plans on eating lots of burgers, lots of buns.
He said that he's working with very smart professionals to help him transform in a healthy way.
Uh-huh.
He admitted he wants to go to bakery.
I want to go to Denny's.
I want to get pancakes.
I want to get everything I can possibly get my hands on.
Okay.
No problem.
I'm happy to help you out there, Mark.
We can take care of that.
So we'll see how long it takes him to get back to, look, he's got, you know, all the help.
And that's his job, right?
That's his work to take care of himself like that.
I mean, I know he's, we've talked about his schedule before.
I remember talking about his daily schedule of getting up early and working out
and going to bed early and his strict eating and exercise routine.
So, you know, while this was all part of the job of gaining weight,
it gets more difficult to lose the weight and the older you get.
And, you know, look what's happened to other actors.
I mean, you look at Marlon Brando.
Look at Jack Nicholson.
I mean, he's in the news again, too, because they're saying Jack has just turned
into a recluse and he just wants to stay home.
And he's gained all this weight and he just sits around and eats.
Look, the guys, you know, you look at Brando and Jack Nicholson, two, you know, great famous actors who stayed fit and trim most of their career for the roles that they were doing.
And then once they stopped, it was like that, you know, that discipline, that discipline goes away.
And you just feel like, oh, my gosh, I've had all this discipline for all these years.
I just want to be left alone.
I want to be in my home.
I want to eat what I want.
I'll see who I want to see.
I'll go outside.
I'll swim a little.
I'll watch some TV.
I'll watch some old movies.
But I'm not going to work out.
And I'm just going to eat everything I want.
I'm not going to have this strict regime.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Do you know what happens then, don't you?
You blow up.
I mean, we've seen a lot of female.
I chose men.
to talk about this because I don't want to start beating up women that have the same problem.
You start losing a little bit of that discipline, and it all goes to,
so, you know, it's very difficult.
It's a difficult thing.
It really is.
So you might as well, you know, I hope Walberg, I'm sure he's documenting it for the movie,
and by now he's probably bummed that he hasn't made a separate deal like Will did to get
in shape and, you know, cut the deal.
We'll get a good shape for these movies and then just have the getting in shape as part of
the separate deal.
Mark, call me.
Okay.
I'll get you.
We'll get things straightened up for you.
I've got to, you know, I'll give you, you know what, I'll give you a free million
dollar idea.
Okay.
And you, I hope you're filmed.
I hope you've been filming already.
But if you haven't, start filming today.
Get the crew in there today.
Fit, fat.
fit. So we watch the documentation as you're fit going into the movie roll. You get fat and then you get fit coming out of the movie role. Fit, Fat, Fit with Mark Wahlberg. And I'm not, you know, Will, go ahead and, you know, you might as well jump on it. One of you do it first. Will could go from, you know, flab to fit. Something like that. You know what I mean? Fat flab fit. Fat to fit. We'll work it out. Call me.
You know,
I'm going to
