So if you're looking for a gig, let's say a Taco Bell, Chipotle, Sweet Green, Boston Scientific, Shopify, NBA, you can use those other sites if you want to try to get a gig there. But really, why do that when you can use TikTok resume? It's going to be their new pilot program through which users can search and apply for job listings with short videos showcasing their qualifications. I mean, that's good. I mean, I think I like it.

I think I like it, depending on, you know, who has to sit through all those videos. I mean, you've got Chippole has got a couple million followers. Taco Bell almost has a million followers on TikTok. And so why not use it to your advantage to get employees for your, for your, for your, for your, for your business? A Pew Research Center survey published last month found that less than a less than a third, less than a third of respondents between the ages of 18 and 29 have used LinkedIn. I don't know. I didn't see the actual study of what other sites they were using to get jobs.

But when you look at the chart, wow, when you look at the chart, YouTube and Facebook remains the most widely used online platforms among U.S. adults. That's not the age group 18 to 29. I mean, YouTube and Facebook are way up there. And then you've got Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Twitter, WhatsApp, TikTok, Redot, next door. Wow, not Redoubt, Reddit, and next door. So, I mean, people are obviously using these particular social media sites. Adults under 30 stand out for their use of Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok.

Now, we know that there's a new site. I don't know if you have seen the stories about it, but it's a new app called New Nu. And it's where it's in, you know, beta testing right now is like a, according to this, it's like a human stock market. So it allows users to buy shares in creators and then vote in polls to help them make decisions. So one particular person who I'm guessing is, you know, part of the investors in Nunu, said, you know, I couldn't decide between Chinese or Korean. So it was very helpful.

So he had he voted for what to eat that day. I'm hoping that that is what he couldn't decide on. So, I mean, you know, it could be anything, right? I mean, if you can't decide between Chinese or Korean, I'm guessing it's food. That wouldn't be my first guess, but I'm assuming that's what this story is about. So be sure to try Nunu, and they will help you out. People will buy stock in you. And then, so you could buy stock and say me on Nunu.

And then you could, I could ask you questions like Chinese or Korean. And you could, you know, answer back. And then I would have to, I guess if you're a stockholder, I have to do what the vote says, right? Right. Hey, welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fats. As long as we're talking about apps I do or Twitter,

maybe gearing up to launch its blue subscription module, Twitter Blue. So you pay to. $2.99 a month. I guess that's their rough draft of what you pay for Twitter Blue. And it will include a feature to undo a tweet and another for bookmarking. I mean, how about to know? Why now you want me to pay to use Twitter?

So I can, I just really, good luck. Good luck. God bless. And Parlor, I guess, is back up. They are back up on the App Store for Apple. Now, sure, there's going to be content that's not allowed on iPhones due to the App Store rules, but they will be available on Android and web versions of the app. You know, okay, good.

I mean, they need to be back in business. It's a shame what happened to them and how they were treated. But, you know, now they're just trying to get back into business. and I may be too late. Just may be too late. I hope not. I hope they survive and come out, you know, on top. But, ooh, don't really think so.

Speaking of not being able to decide between Chinese or Korean, a recent survey found that nearly 80% of Asian Americans don't feel respected. and say they are discriminated against by their fellow Americans. Additionally, a portion of respondents of multiple races said they were unaware of an increase in hate crimes and racism against Asian Americans over the past year. And when they go down and list the hate crimes against Asian Americans, you know, ranging from verbal abuse to violent attacks, increased in several cities in 2020 from 2019, And they mentioned the six Asian American women that were killed March 16th in the spa shootings in Atlanta.

Yes, Asian American women's were killed. But that wasn't a hate crime against Asian Americans. It was a hate crime of sex workers at this particular place of business. Anyway, just, you know, whatever. I got it. Okay. According to their survey, though, 37% of white Americans, 30% of black Americans, 24% of Hispanic Americans, 13% of Asian Americans,

said they were unaware of an uptick in hate crimes against Asian Americans. Well, if you don't live in an area that had an uptick, then you may not be aware of it, although, you know, that's just people, that's the percentage of people that aren't paying attention to the news, right? But they have a group called launch, and it is L-A-A-U-N-C-H, launch. leading Asian Americans to unite for change.

It's a new nonprofit. It did this survey based on responses from 2,76 U.S. residents between March 29th and April 14th. 90% of black Americans, 73% of Hispanic Latino Americans say they are discriminated against in the U.S. And the one thing that stuck out to me was 42% in the U.S. Can't name a single prominent Asian American. I don't know that I could off the top of my head. I mean, we all saw crazy rich Asians the movie, right? I mean, okay.

I saw it. I mean, it made what? Two, three hundred million? I don't know what it made worldwide. Let's the check. Let me look at that. Yeah. They made it $2.39.

million worldwide, 174, almost 175 here in the U.S. So that's not bad. I mean, it cost them 30 million to make. They made their money. And it's the highest grossing romantic comedy in the last 10 years. So, I mean, dear launch, we saw Crazy Rich Americans the movie. Oh, I mean, crazy rich Asians. See, that is the problem.

It's not Crazy Rich Americans. That's the way I think. that's the way I think crazy and rich have to be Americans, not Asians. Oh my gosh. I am so sorry. Yeah, Norman Chen, the chairman of launch,

I'm sorry, the CEO of launch. He was caught off guard by the 42% of respondents that could name a prominent Asian American. Sorry. You know, I know the survey asked about how people perceive Asian Americans in television and movies. And according to this,

most Asian Americans are still in stereotypical roles. Waiters, sex workers, Kung Fu guys. The roles are always one-dimensional and stereotypical, Chen says. Our data just really reinforced the opportunity for us to create well-rounded,

prominent characters in movies and TVs. This is the first survey of American sentiments regarding Asian Americans in 20 years. The organization plans to conduct the survey every year to track progress of attitudes toward Asian Americans. I really don't have an attitude.

toward Asian Americans. I was reading this. I really don't have an attitude toward Asian Americans, whether they're prominent or not. I just, they're people who live in America. I don't really care

that they're Asian American or Puerto Rican or Hispanic or Mexican or African American. I really don't care. I guess that is the problem, isn't it, Jeff? That is the

problem. I'm supposed to care. Well, I don't. Just be a good person. Okay? That's all I ask. I don't care. Just be a good person. Apparently, that is too much to ask now. That is too much to ask. It doesn't matter

whether you're a good person or not. I mean, sure, it matters whether you're a good person or not, but only after what. race or nationality you are and what you identify as, then we'll get to whether you're just a, you know, a good human being or not. And I find, I still find, come on now, 80% of Asian Americans feel the lack of respect and a sense of discrimination from fellow Americans. Really?

Ah, wow. We are in a bad place, if that's true. That we are in, well, you know what? We could be in a bad place. So let's just leave it right there. I mean, we could talk a little bit about how Chinese tech employees a little wound up and they're pushing back against the industry's 996 culture of working 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. 6 days a week, Hugh bastards. Hugh bastards for working 6 days a week 12 hours a day. I mean, what leads to success but work?

I mean, in this new study, I guess from the World Health Organization and International Labor Organization. And man, I bet you those are, I mean, we know about the World Health Organization. And I'm sure that the International Labor Organization is great. They found that working long hours can lead to startling health risks. Oh, no. Oh, no. No, no.

No, no. Don't tell me that's true. According to this, 745,000 deaths in 2016 alone. Oh my gosh. We're because people were working long hours. Now, according to this, in 2016, that this was before the pandemic, right? Frontline workers are being exposed to the virus, teleworking. and blurring work-life balance

and employees picking up tasks from laid off or furloughed co-workers, how dare they make you work long hours? I hate it when jobs make you work. So according to this, if you, you know, you should close your laptop while the sun is still out and just go outside.

People who work 55 plus hours a week have a 35% higher risk of stroke, 17% higher risk of dying from heart disease. Oh, man. Oh, man. So if you are working, you know, 55 hours or more a week, now slow down. Don't try to make a living.

Don't try to feed your family. Don't try to succeed. Don't do it. Don't do it. Okay? because you need to settle down and you need to relax and just you know what you need to do is just wait for that check from the government to be delivered to your mailbox stop working so darn hard i've working so darn hard you know i saw speaking of that i saw a commercial on some stupid show i was watching but they were advertising the domino's pizza delivery robot and i thought holy cow I mean, you want to talk about jobs getting cut. I mean, that's it, right?

I mean, even the pizza delivery guy is going to be out of work. So, I mean, that was what Elon said, I don't know, a few years ago when he talked about a basic minimum income. He was saying that he thought it was going to have to happen, and he took heat for it too. But he thought it was going to have to happen because of technology. He didn't want it to happen. And he was saying that he hoped that we could. find, you know, new ways to integrate. But what he saw were, you know, all these jobs being replaced by robotics and humans

not being able to work. So they would need a way to survive. And that's why you would need a basic minimum income. Well, you know, now, thanks to the pandemic and people are starting, you know, to get used to getting money for nothing and their chicks for free, they are going to just continue to keep the checks coming, right? So there's got to be a balance. And I don't know, I don't know,

we've talked about that before for the basic minimum income. I'm not sure what that balance is. I'm not an economist. I know that. Well, that's going to come as a surprise to you. So I hope you were sitting down while you were listening to Chewing the Fat

because I'm not an economist, I know. But I'm just saying there's a, there's got to be a fine line between the creation of, goods and services and being paid for not really doing too much. And so I'm not really sure what that is. So you can get a small amount that you'd be able to use to then go out and create something else. Or you could decide, like I'm sure many people would,

to just take what little pittance they give you and survive off of that. right so if you wanted you know if you only took what they gave you you would live in your little one room apartment and be satisfied or you know just say they're not paying me enough or you could go out and try to create something else with the use of that income that you're getting right so to create better and you could be in a two-bedroom apartment then huh yeah you could have a porch around your trailer yeah now we're talking about live and large but you've got to try to make people believe that they want that or they want that mindset of being able to have not just a trailer but a trailer with a porch around it right you want to attain some of that extra stuff because when you see the headlines u.s billionaire wealth sky rockets 55% during pandemic you either look at it like oh that sure is accelerating inequality isn't it i don't have any of that or you can aspire to get more wealth yourself right?

Or is that just dumb? Because you want the government to, you know, give us a million dollars each and we'll all be a million dollars then, right? Yes. But no, that's not what we're getting. We're seeing the, it's being, you know, touted as the inequality. It's not as, you know, hey, you could go out and do something good for yourself, too. That isn't the way it's being touted as.

Right? They're talking about just the few people whose wealth grew huge during the pandemic. Well, yeah. But, you know, I would rather aspire to that than not. I don't know. It's just, I get it. You know, I mean, we have, look, even if, so we have that headline, right? We have the headline of accelerating inequality.

Then we talk about the millionaires who, this is what, not the billion, those were billionaires. Okay. So now you have millionaires who support raising taxes on the billionaires. And they were protesting in front of Bezos's home in D.C. And in California, wherever the hell he lives, wherever he has houses. They're protesting. It's just agonizing.

And some millionaires want to pay more taxes. Do they? No, they want billionaires to pay more taxes. They don't want themselves to pay more taxes. they proclaim, you know, the patriotic millionaires. Oh, okay. So the patriotic millionaires who have incomes of more than a million dollars or assets worth over $5 million, they had mobile billboards and they were going to make stops in

front of Bezos's home in New York and Washington. Yeah, New York and Washington. And they organized a group of about 30 protesters. They had 30 people there. to converge on the Bezos New York residents and it said cut the bulls crap, tax the rich. Oh man, that's how bad things are. Right?

I mean, come on now. These guys, so these are millionaires, not aspiring to be billionaires. They're millionaires who probably believe that they got it by some stroke of genius or luck. No, if it was genius, if they believed in genius,

then they'd believe that they could aspire to get it. it more. They believe that it was just daddy's money who did something evil and wrong. I mean, that's what Joel Osteen is getting mocked for, right? He goes on the Today Show. And Joel Osteen, whatever you think about him and his

mega church and all of that, he's a successful guy. And he's done a lot of good things. Whether you like him or not, he's done a lot of good things. And I know he is a, not just a millionaire according to the headline, he is a multi-millionaire.

man, do I hate multi-millionaires? I don't even like millionaires, but multi-millionaires and then billionaires? Oh man, do I hate all of those? I just want free money. And I, you know, yeah, sure, I don't have a porch around my trailer, but I have a trailer, so I'm happy.

Well, I'm not really happy, but this, you know, government could pay me some more money, but I don't want to work long hours because it's unhealthy for me to work long hours. long hours to create wealth. I just got to want to do that. So the heck with you. So anyway, he goes on the Today Show.

And he says, hey, you know what? People should maybe start with gratitude. Then he was asked, he's asked on the show. So how do you maintain a peaceful state of mind each day? And look, I know he's hawking his new book. You know, Joel just doesn't show up on the Today Show because he had nothing better to do. He's got his new book to promote, please buy my new book, Peaceful on Purpose. And so when he was asked by Samantha Guthrie and Hoda about how he maintains that peaceful state of mind each day,

he said it all comes down to starting the day with gratitude. Man, do I hate starting a day like that with gratitude? You're supposed to start the day with hate. Right? I think so, yeah, I think that is. But he said, I think you need to have some time to just. come back to a place of peace where you're grateful. Think about what's right, not what's wrong.

Focus on what you have, not what you don't have. Well, oh my gosh, you can't say that if you're Joel Osteen in today's world. Joel Osteen on the Today Show saying don't focus on what you have or don't have. He owns a mansion, a Ferrari, and a jet. He took a 4.4 million federal PPP loan. His net worth is estimated at $100 million. Perhaps thou focused too much, Joel. Yeah.

He didn't say you can't have all that stuff. He didn't say hate the people who have all that stuff. He said, be thankful for what you have. It doesn't mean you can't want more. It doesn't mean you can't want less. It doesn't mean you can't give it all away. And these millionaires that want more people to pay tax, you don't want your money, give it. In fact, you should pay the Jeff Fisher tax, which is, you don't want your money, I'll take it.

Please, please, I will thank you every day in a vocal, verbal prayer. Just give me your money. You don't want it, and you want people to pay more, I agree. And you should pay more to the Jeff Fisher tax fund. I would love that. Man, do not. I, you know. All right, I need to go to the break room.

Seriously. Okay, I know. I know. I need something cold to drink. Let's go to the break room. And let's look at some other stories. Shall we? Okay.

Oh, my gosh. That is so good. What is going on in Texas, man? We are, this whole, the south and the southeast or southwest or wherever the hell it is. So maybe the whole country, climate change, I guess, but it is raining cats and dogs every day. For the past few days,

we've had flash floods. Every time I look out the window, it's thunder and lightning and rain coming down. It is incredible. I mean, it's amazing. So if you live where it's raining like crazy, man, have fun. Have fun.

For those of you that follow me on Instagram, last night I was sitting in the family, and I hear three or four times against what I don't know what it was. I thought maybe my father-in-law was dropping stuff in the back bathroom. I thought, you know,

somebody was upstairs dropping stuff so I get up and I look and there's a bird. It's like this dove down at the below my back door, slamming into the back window. And I'm like, what the heck is going on? These birds are trying, I mean, they're committing suicide.

They're committing birdicide. at my house. And then I look, and there's a hawk on the back porch fireplace. We've got this outdoor, you know, metal fireplace that we use to burn wood like you do in a fireplace. And the hawk is on top of the fireplace. And I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

Because when I got to the door, the bird was on the ground up against the wall below the door, a little step there. And the hawk was on the fireplace just standing, you know, just kind of, you know, towering over everyone. So I don't know if the hawk threw the bird up against the window or if the bird was actually trying to commit bird aside. But I think that the hawk was busy trying to collect something from the bird. I think it was like a, I think it was bird mafia collections.

Because when I stood there at the window, man, neither one of them moved. The dove was down on the back porch hovering up against the little step and is like frozen. I don't know if he had some kind of, if he was a concussion, do birds get bird cussions? And then the hawk was on the fireplace and the hawk was just looking like, you know, don't even freaking move, man. You owe me and I'm going to collect. And then I took a couple of pictures. If you follow me on Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, you can see the pick of the little dove bird and the hawk on the fireplace. And then the hawk flew off into a tree on the other side of the yard, but he didn't leave.

And the dove did not freaking move, man. I wiggled the doorknob, no move. And so I finally opened the door. When I opened the door, the dove flew away. So even if the dove was injured and was bird cussed, he managed to fly away. So we'll see. We'll see if the hawk comes back.

If this is the new collection area for the hawk. I mean, there's little bunny rabbits bouncing around the yard all the time. and the hawk could come by and eat those if he's hungry. I don't know what. Maybe the dove was trying to chase him off. And the hawk was having none of it. Because in our old yard, when the hawk would show up, the little birds would dive bomb him and try to get rid of him.

And the hawk was just like, please, I'm busy resting on his fence here. I've got to stop, have a smoke, and then I'll be gone. So you can dive bomb all you want, but I'm out of here, okay? So we'll see. We'll see what happens to, you know, what's going on with the bird mafia in Fort Worth, Texas. I mean, we can just make the break room animals today. We got the Minnesota Zoo, nice of them, to kill off a couple of their oxen that were getting a little old.

We had to kill them. They're a little old. And you know what? It's because of climate change. Oh, okay. It wasn't because they were too old and you didn't want to care for them anymore? Of course not. We're the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley.

and we had two musk oxen that we just had to get rid of. We just killed them off. Yeah, I don't worry about it. Look, they're elderly. They've been showing progressive age-related health issues, and since it started to warm up, yeah, they started to decline even faster. It's sad, and it's heartbreaking.

But, look, rising temperatures during the past decade, have affected the health of the herd, which started growing in 1970. when the zoo acquired the male and female oxen from breeders in Calgary and Winnipeg, Canada, and they bred 65 calves. But by 2010, they started noticing changes, which they attributed to increased summer heat and humidity. Yeah, Minnesota is known for its summers,

but don't even, don't. I don't even want to get your emails at Chewing the Fat of the Blaze.com. Don't start with me. So apparently, with the average temperature, you're rising by two degrees since 100 years ago. This is according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It seems that even Minnesota has now become too far south for this species to thrive. Oh, no.

And since there's no way we could move them north if we really believed that this was actually affecting them, they're too old to travel, right? So let's just kill them. Oh, okay. I mean, sure they're native to the Arctic tundra. They've lived here for years, but they're getting way too old now. And, you know, it's just too warm. It's just too warm.

So we'll just kill them. Oh, okay. Right. Look, we had a long conversation. We talked to everybody. We talked to the zoo leadership, the curators, the veterinarians. And, you know, the zoo. animal health department were like, yeah, we've got a responsibility. And at this point,

you know, we just kill them off. So, okay, great. No problem. I mean, we're losing animals left and right, but we actually are finding animals, right? I mean, they just found a fossil fish that they claim was extinct, but they claim that it was found alive in Madagascar. Yeah. That's right. The group of South African shark hunters rediscovered a population of fish predating dinosaurs that many believed to be extinct. The four-legged fossil fish known as Co-O-O-O-E-L-A-C-A-C-A-N-T-H

has been found alive and well in the West Indian Ocean off the coast of Madagascar. The reemergence in pre-emergence. in part thanks to fishermen using gill nets in their shark hunting expeditions. They continue to target sharks for their fins, oil, and other commercial enterprises, those bastards. The high-tech deep-sea nets are able to reach where these coanthacants gather about 328 to 492 feet below the water's surface. The species was dates back 420 million years.

was thought to have been extinct until 1938 when they found one off the South African coast of Mangabe. Now scientists were shocked to find a member

I mean they're still alive they're not extinct they're just living where we can't find them and now we're out dropping gill nets down we're pulling them out of the mud at 430 feet below okay come on now

they're not extinct Earth is still surviving. We found a rare owl that they document. We haven't seen this owl in the first time in more than 125 years. We thought it was extinct. Did you? Did you? According to the

Wilson Journal of Ornithology, I apologize because for some reason I let my subscription run out so I wasn't aware of when this story happened. But I find when I realized that hey, how come I haven't gotten my Wilson Journal of ornithology, I

pre-uped my subscription right away and had it shipped right to the house and found out about the Raja Scopes Owl. And it was first observed by scientists in 1892. And its song

that it sings is unknown. So it says in the story, making it much harder to find, you think? Now, the species is known for their unique calls. But the Otis Brookye, Brookye, is a Bornean subspecies of the Raja Scopes Owl.

It's just so strange. It's got these bright orange eyes, and they don't know, you know, exactly what it looks for. But this guy was out shooting owls in the field. and out of the corner where a lot of vegetation, this owl flew out and it landed. While he was observing the owl, it flew away. But it returned to perch in the shadowed area.

It's a stroke of luck. It came back to that exact spot. We were looking for the owl during his research. And we went to the trail and the owl perch knowing he was on borrowed time. So the earth is, you know, still letting animals survive. We found the fish that's, you know, over 100 years old

in the Detroit River. Let me a break. But heaven forbid, they get too old at the Minnesota Zoo. Now, we just kill them off. I mean, that's what they want to do to people. So we might as well just start doing it with animals first. Yeah, climate change. Dead.

You know, look at it. Look it. I mean, that's like the animal people move to Florida. Not animals, though. Don't do it. Don't move it to Florida where it's warmer. You want to move it where it's colder, but you can't move animals because there's no way to move animals. And so you just kill them.

That's just what happens, right? Right. That's exactly what happens. If I were Tiger King, I would be careful. Joe Exotic has revealed that he has cancer now in the Fort Worth prison that he's in, not a zoo. Oh, zoos are prisons, Jeff. That's what they are. But Tiger King has revealed that he has,

prostate cancer. And he's serving his 22-year prison sentence on his animal abuse charges and murder for higher plot against Carol Baskin. You all remember the Tiger King story, and we were all so deep into it a year ago. But he has asked for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for his pardon and let him go home. Apparently, he has got a PSA count. It came back very high for prostate cancer. The prison has approved the testing to verify what stage he is in. He said his body's tired. He's lost a tremendous amount of weight. Mouth sores are out of control. I throw up more than I eat. I don't want anyone's pity. What I need is when John Phillips, his attorney, gets the evidence he's working on. I need the world to help him get President Biden and VP Harris and the Attorney General to

listen to the evidence and see that it's not just city cops out of control with corruption, but it's the very own Department of Justice and make this right and sign that pardon that Trump left behind so I can go home and get proper medical care and proper food. Well, Joe, I would say good luck. Good luck. God bless because we are killing off animals and zoos now because of climate change. So if you're starting to suffer in Fort Worth, Texas, that's because of climate change, and we're just going to have to kill you off. Yeah, we could talk about it a little bit if you want, but there's no way we can move you north.

There's no way. And you're sick, and you're getting old, and it's heating up outside. Yeah, no, we're just going to have to kill you off. So you can, A, stay in prison, or you can decide, yeah, we'll let you out, but we're going to have to kill you. You decide. I bet some days if those mouth the sores are hurting. You probably want someone to knock you off, which I'm sure someone in prison is willing to help. So I know you like me are really sick and tired of gendered and binary terms.

I know you are. I mean, we talked about it yesterday. You can't even, you know, I don't want people saying good morning, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls on a train in the United Kingdom. well, the Pennsylvania State University faculty Senate passed a resolution on inclusive language. Thank you. Man, Penn State, thank you for being on the forward path of this, okay? It's going to rid the university of alleged paternalistic labels such as freshman, junior, senior, upper classman, and underclass. Oh man, do I hate those terms.

Now, the Senate Committee on Curricular Affairs passed the removal of gendered and binary terms from course and program descriptions. Oh, good. The introduction of the resolution claims that gendered language comes from living in a male-dominated society. Amen. The university has gone out of a typically male-centered world. Well, good for them. So, I guess many of the terms in our lexicon carry a strong male-centric binary character. Yeah, so let's get rid of them, okay?

Terms such as freshmen, male-specific. Terms such as upperclassmen could be interpreted as both sexist and classist. It could be interpreted. that way. And apparently you have. Terms such as junior and senior are parallel to Western male father-son naming conventions.

And much of our written documentation uses he-she pronouns. I hate that. So you got that to look forward to at Penn State University. Man, that is so good. We have we got issues in the United States of America

and we're going to have more issues with the lack of gender inclusivity because, you know, really when we start when we start including everyone, more and more people get unified, right? So what's for that unity that we were supposed to have? What's good, though,

is at least the university is still providing an education and universities in the U.S. are still providing that top-notch education for doctors. Let's say like, I don't know, Dartmouth Medical School. Wait, what, Dartmouth Medical School? Online cheating charges? Huh. So now we can't even believe that the doctors, where did you go to school? I have my doctor degree from Dartmouth.

No, thank you. I don't care if you are a he, she, they, it, why? I'm not sure what your pronouns are, but if a doctor, is the doctor, is that, something, is that term bad, gendered and binary? I don't know.

I guess it could be perceived that way. Man, we are. Hey, Medina Spirit, got the axe at the next race. I know. I know. I know. It's suspended from Belmont.

And they're not going to let him, Medina Spirit. or Bob Baffert race at the Belmont. So no matter what happens to, we still haven't got the word back on the Kentucky Derby, right, whether that second test of the beta metazone was guaranteed. And you know it will be.

I mean, he all but admitted that he was rubbing the ointment on the horse. So there you go. And the next race, the preekness was, I came in third. And actually was pretty close to be a number one. I mean, they were neck and neck, but he didn't win.

So without the ointment, he didn't win the preakness. And he ain't racing at the Belmont. So have a nice day, Bob Baffert. And, you know, it's kind of bad that the horse, you know, you're taking it out on the horse, but, you know, what are you going to do? I also saw where, uh, did you know, this is, this is really weird. And this is England. And I'm going to have to look into it to see if this is disgusting everything. horse in the world. But according to this, every registered thoroughbred horse is a descendant

of one of three stallions. Oh, wait, what? So these three stallions came to England from the Middle East around 1700. So these three stallions did nothing but business for England? For England? Every thoroughbred horse is from them. Ah, the Byerly Turk, the Darley Arabian, and the Godolphin Arabian. They're the three ones that are, you know, did nothing but horse bidsness in England since 1700? Nice. Nice. So did you see where Amazon is looking to buy MGM holdings? That's a pretty big deal.

I mean, MGM owns a huge, film library. James Bond, other huge titles, Rocky Pink Panther. I mean, you know, a huge title. They own the EPEX cable channel. They, they have, you know,

Shark Tank and Survivor, and it would, you know, it beefs up Prime Video. That is for sure. And IMDB, so we'll see. I mean, we know, we just heard news that AT&T is going to spin off its entertainment business to Warner Media.

That's, I mean, huge, right? I mean, Warner Media is home to CNN, cartoon network, Warner Brothers, HBO, HBO Max, Discovery, in addition to its namesake TV channel offers, you know, and we talked about one of the whole Discovery Band's got Animal Planet, Oprah Winfrey Network, Food Network, TLC, HDTV, all of that huge platform, Discovery Plus, So if the deal pans out, that is, you're looking at, they were going up against Netflix and Disney Plus with, you know, they both have, you know, hundreds of millions of subscribers and they want to believe that Warner Media and Discovery could be worth about $150 billion. I mean, AT&T is busy just dumping stuff, man. have been incredible.

And I thought they were going to spin off. They had said, remember when they came together, they said we were going to start getting rid of their less profitable divisions. Oh, okay. No problem. But they funneled off some of their stuff so that they could put some money into HBO Max,

which seems to be working. But they sold anime streamer, Crunchyroll to Sony. They reached a deal with, with TBG to spin off direct TV operations. So, you know, if that's going to, they're trying to get away from cable, I guess that's what they say. We'll see.

I mean, my bill now is, you know, they're not getting away from cable. They're just finding a way to milk you and me for a little bit more cash. So we'll see how that works out because they're, they're finding new ways, new ways to milk you and me out of more cash. But I do like that, you know, at least Anderson Cooper and Guy Ferreri and Harry Potter and Wonder Woman will all go to the same holiday party next year. That's kind of cool, right? A couple things before we get out of here today.

First, thanks for listening to Chewing the Fat. I appreciate it. And, you know, tell your friends, tell your neighbors. And if you're listening to this right now and you're not a subscriber to Chewing the Fat, you need to turn your life around and subscribe to Chewing the Fat. Okay, we'll just leave it at that for you. I see where the World Economic Forum has called off its special meeting in Singapore in August due to COVID-19 concerns.

Oh, yeah. In August, we're still going to cancel it because of COVID-19 concerns? All right, no problem. And I see where over 80% of Japanese oppose Olympics this summer, they're saying yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no. It was postponed once. And so now they just pulled a new, a new group of people, and they said, yeah, no.

We sure, we know the Tokyo games are going to be in 10 weeks, but no. So I guess Japan is right now battling a fourth wave of virus infections. And so it's put a pressure on the health care system and medical professionals and they're warning about shortages and burnouts. So they're saying, no, we need the games canceled. So, you know, I'm sure that they're going to cancel the Olympics.

There's no way the country, I mean, it means a lot of money. So maybe the rulers of Japan say, yeah, we don't care what the people say we're having Olympics. But then they're talking about no crowds and the capacity of games, you know, if any at all, would be very, very low. You know, then you're looking at regular testing of the athletes and no overseas fans coming to the games. I don't know if you know this, but the Olympics are for the world. So, no, good luck.

Good luck. God bless. But I think we can pretty much, pretty much say that the Olympics will be postponed again. And now you're getting to the point where you might as well just. Hey, we'll see you in four years. Just forget about the whole thing. Okay? All right, good.

I don't know if I want to give you a chewing the fat guarantee on the Olympics being postponed. I think I will, though. I think I will. I think you can pretty much guarantee that the Olympics will be, if not canceled altogether, postponed again and use COVID as the excuse. And I could wrap up today's show by telling you, like Joel Osteen, to start your day with gratitude and be grateful and think about what's right, not what's wrong, and focus on what you have and not what you don't have. But no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want to have you do that.

because I don't want you to focus on things you don't have. And those evil rich bastards have it all. And don't you be thankful for things that you have. You be, you be, well, doggone it, boo?
