So today is a very, very special day. If you're listening live, it is the 21st of May 2021. And it is going to be an amazing time. It will be the 21st second of the 21st minute of the 21st hour of the 21st day in the 21st week of the 21st year. of the 21st century. Huh? So if you're listening to this after, that's already happened,

well, I mean, you didn't get to celebrate with the rest of us, so it's not really, it's not my fault. I'm sorry. But just know that you can say, oh, I missed it.

But you did live through it. If you made it past 9.21 p.m. so just remember if you may it's 92121 p.m. which is the you know 21st hour of the 21st day and the 21st week of the 21st year of the 21st century now we're talking about a party right that's what I thought welcome welcome to chewing the fat I have a question about a lady who was living in an apartment, and I think she's still living there, although she may have moved out by now, in El Paso, Texas,

and Anna Cardenas. And she woke up one morning, and blood was dripping on her face from the ceiling fan that was above her. And it was dripping on the bed, and on the floor around her was, you know, just splattering on her. Now, it was human blood, and there were other bodily fluids dripping through her ceiling fan. That's what they say. Now, it says here, she was grossed out. Well, yeah.

And that she was in shock. Well, I don't know about shock, but, you know, I mean, you'd be a little disturbed, right? And she said that she thought it isn't real. It's just a dream. And she wanted to wake up. So she called maintenance, and they said, uh, yeah, You know, are you sure there's blood? Yeah, that's what I'm calling you for.

And so she, you know, they showed up. And they found that blood was all over her bedroom, like she said. And the firefighters arrived, and they went upstairs and banged on the door. No one answered. So they broke the door down. And yes, if you're guessing, oh, well, I guess the guy was dead above her. You'd be right. There was a corpse, according to the fire department, laying on the floor.

above where her fan and bedroom was. Okay, so according to the firefighters, the man was between 55 and 70 years of age. All right. Now, they say that he's been decomposing for up to six days. So he had to have been already started to, you know, get a little dead body smell going. But apparently, they said that this body,

this person had died of natural causes. My question is, if you die of natural causes, how does blood and guts and goo come seeping out of you? I mean, all the way through the carpet upstairs, through the floor, and onto the room below. I... I like that, explain to me.

I'd like the coroner from El Paso to give me a call. or email me here at chewing the fat at the blaze.com because I'd like to know if, you know, I'm sure it's gross and no, I don't want it, but natural causes leaves the body decomposing in a way that blood and guts comes oozing through carpeting and flooring and sealing fan-ish stuff. Okay, all right, you got me.

I just, you know, I just didn't think it would happen that way. Sure, you get a lot of smell, but I don't think that that stuff comes goosing out. And yes, I said goosing. Now, according to this story, she's, you know, the apartment complex is, you know, kind of cleaned up a little bit, but not very well. And they claim to have disinfected it, but there's still flies buzzing around and there's a, you know, an odor still there. And she claims that she hasn't re-uped her lease and they aren't, you know, returning her calls.

Now, according to this story, oh, well, she's got to go fund me that's raised over $15,000 bucks. So, I mean, she can move. She's got a little extra cash to move. Anna will be okay. And, of course, I watched the news story, and Anna lives in El Paso. And there'd be no reason for her to be living in a house. America, I'd be able to speak English.

That would just be stupid. So, you know, she's had to be, you know, translated, that kind of thing. But so what? I'm not, you know, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I don't care about that kind of stuff. Okay?

My real question is, I can't believe that a person body dies of natural causes and oozes blood and goo through carpeting, flooring, wiring, onto the next room.

I just find that really, really hard to believe. Maybe it's just me. Speaking of smelly dead bodies in San Francisco, remember a year or so ago, we talked about the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers having its own corpse flowers,

and the last one was blooming last year. and what's good about that is that it, you know, smells like a corpse. Now, there are these huge plants. They can grow up to about 15 feet tall, and they have this bud that takes about 10 to 20 years. And sometime in between the time of, you know, maybe 7, but if they're an early bloomer. But if you're a late bloomer, you can take 20 years.

But the plant, this plant grows in a half. has this really wide canopy and then the bulb gets enough what they call energy for it to bloom. And when it opens up, you know, everybody wants to come and see it and they can smell it and they can smell it, you know, quite a ways away. It's now, according to this story, you can smell it from up to a half a mile away. Well, a local man in San Francisco has a corpse flower and it's looking like a, it's going to bloom, and he wanted everyone to be able to share it. So he took it to a closed-up gas station on the corner of Santa Clara Avenue in Oak Street.

I'm sure you know it's right up there. Just go up and make a left, and it's right there. And so people have been lining up to see it. My question is, it's San Francisco. How do you know if you're actually smelling the flower or you're just smelling the streets of San Francisco? Ha ha ha. How do you know? It's something other than the Titan Aram or the corpse flower that you're smelling.

Ah, is this a question I have? I, you know, maybe it's just me. I think that might be the title of today's show. Maybe it's just me. They're here. Oh, yeah. For the next few weeks, no thank you. So that's the sound of the brood X, the cicadas.

You know, I guess it's brood 10, but the brood X, the cicadas in the northeast, in, I don't know, 15 or 16 states across the country. And we talked a few weeks ago about how these millions, if not trillions of cicadas, were going to hatch and they were going to be everywhere. Well, they're here. And now we can't get enough of cicada talk. So we can talk about trying to eat them. They're according to professionals, a sustainable source of protein.

No thank you. I don't want any. Quit trying to make me eat bugs and like it. Quit it. So according to this story, if you are a bug eater, You are an entomophagist. Entomophagist. Yeah, that's what I said.

Entomophagists. Yeah, bug eater. So I guess that we are supposed to enjoy eating the cicadas, and we've got people making eight-course meals with the broodex cicada brew. I guess they're going to try to make it like you do with crawfish? So you boil them up, you know, it's still a great source of protein. According to this, you want to eat the females because they're full of eggs. Okay.

And ditching the taste just like chicken, I guess according to this chef, this bug eater, it's more like cold asparagus. Mmm. Yum. Does that sound. good. Now, some cooks have, uh, you know, cook them up with garlic and potatoes and black rice and tofu and peppers. And no, thank you. No, thank you. I don't care. No, I do not want cicadas in my soup, on my plate. I do not want cicadas. Sam, I am. Now, we also. We also. We also,

have since we, you know, know that we've got trillions of cicadas out there. They're also saying, hey, you know, you should probably keep an eye out for the rat populations, because when there's a big plethora of cicadas out there, yeah, the rats eat them and they grow and they're a great source of protein, but what it does is it gives the rats all kinds of protein and food and they're busy taking care of rat business, and we got nothing but rats. that's what I want is rats taking care of business and creating more rats. The answer to that is, no, I don't. So we know now that areas have had increased rats during the cicada hatching seasons.

So they're telling people in Cincinnati, throughout the southeast, Pennsylvania, western Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Maryland. Yeah, you, um, You probably need to be on the lookout for a large number of rats. Yeah, the population is going to explode. Oh, okay. Now, the last time that they had a big breakout in Montgomery County, Maryland, they issued over 400 rat infestation complaints,

and usually it's right around 60. Oh, okay. So that's good. So they're telling people, and this is probably a good rule of thumb, any day. Put food in containers, sealed containers. Do not put food out for stray animals. Use a catch tray under bird feeders to collect all the pet food indoors and control the weeds and shrubs so the rats cannot burrow. And you know what? Keep your garbage in your garbage cans. And you know what? And make sure you take them to the curb and bring the bags to the curb too. That's probably

a pretty good rule of thumb, no matter, you know, what time a year it is. Now, according to this in 2019, Washington, D.C. had 6,434 rat complaints. Oh, okay. No, no, no, no problem. I love that, and we're happy to have that. According to entomologist, Richard Carbon, almost everyone will eat cicadas, and we're finding that out to be even true with humans. And he acknowledged that predicting which animals will have population surges,

we're not too sure, but, yeah, it's probably going to be rats. And, of course, all the exterminating companies are gearing up and overstocking on rat supplies or anti-rat supplies. I'm all for the glue sticks, man. If you have ever ever had a rat problem in any of your buildings, say, I don't know, your home, and you have had rats in there, you need to get rid of those bad boys. And I have had a problem with rats in one home I lived in.

And I'll never, I will never forget the time that I knew that I had a couple of rats, at least a couple. And I'd hear them in the garage. So I one time I came home I shut the lights off and I closed the garage door and I just still stood in the garage quiet And I waited to hear you know the rat noise And there he was I turn on the light and there he was He's on top of a box and he jumps onto the spring of the garage door I have an old style Florida garage door with the spring big springs on each side

Not the spring along the top but they have the big springs along the side And he climbs up the springs along the side and he climbs up the springs along the the top of the garage door, turns around at the middle of the garage door, looks at me, finishes his cigarette, flicks the butt onto the garage door floor, and jumps up into the attic. Oh man, I was so ticked. I was on a rat fever hunt after that. So I ended up getting some poison.

And the poison, you know, what that does is dries them out and they get thirsty. And then you end up trying to see, you find them dead trying to gnaw their. trying to gnaw their way into the washing machine pipes and stuff because they're thirsty. They're looking for water. But, you know, and they don't smell. The poison, you know, makes it so they die and they don't smell. But sometimes you can't find them. They just go off and die.

And I want to know that they're dead. Okay, I know this is sounding evil and bad, but I want to know that they're dead. So I got glue sticks. And, you know, if you don't want to see the rats on the glue stick, I get it. But I did. And they stick on the glue stick, and they get it. on there and you get up in the next day and there's a rat on the glue stick and he's you know stuck on the glue stick and that's what i want to see i want to know that those sons of guns are dead

and they were so i would if you live in any of these areas where cicadas are breaking out the broodex and you think you're going to have a rat population problem i would invest in glue sticks right now okay Now, one of the good things that's happening, I say good things, not really. We talked about this. I feel like we talked about this before when we had another big breakout of cicadas because about 5% of them get this fungus called Massapora. And what it does is it produces this compound on their body that is like an

an anphetamine, and it makes them lose control. And they're like sex crazed cicadas, but they lose their lower abdomen. This moss eats away at their body, so they lose the lower abdomen, which means they can't reproduce. But that's all they want to do is reproduce. So these males are into mating hyperdrive,

and all they do is go around looking to have cicada bidness. But it really doesn't, do anything. What it does do, though, is spread the moss because what they try to do, and they don't care. They don't care if it's a female cicada or a male cicada. They just want bidsness. All right? There's like the walking dead sex crazed cicada bids tonight at nine. And they just go crazy. But what happens is, is they go up against other cicadas, and they want to rub the fungus up against the other cicada while they're doing business, which then spreads on to it. another cicada. Now, one would think, perhaps, that you'd want to recreate this massapora

fungus, and so it would just get rid of the cicadas. They wouldn't be able to reproduce, and they would just be gone, and then we wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. I don't know what purpose they serve. Look, I'm not, you know, I don't want to hear from you scientists. Of course they serve a purpose. It's mother nature, and it's the cycle. of life okay all right i got you no problem i know i know but it would just seem to me that it would be a possibility that a way to get rid of the cicadas or at least a big chunk of them would be to spread a little mass of pora fungus around because it grows on them the reason it's such a small amount is because they get it on them when they're hatching underground so they come out with it so very you know it's

only a small percentage that get it on them when they're hatching in the ground. I say sprinkle that stuff all over the damn ground. Oh, look, look at all this area here. This is all full of broodex buried in the ground. Yeah. Mastpora fungus everywhere, man. Let them go into sexual hyper-dry business. Cicadas are jumping around.

Let them jump around on anything they can get on and start taking care of cicada business. They can't do anything because their male genitalia is gone. So there's no breeding. It's just fake business going on. Just a thought. Just a thought. I don't know. Maybe it's just me.

Before we go to the break room and I desperately need something called to drink, let me give you a couple more animal stories. There's a big salmonella outbreak going on right now. In 43 states, 163 people have confirmed been sickened with salmonella and the Centers for Disease Control Prevention are warning backyard poultry farmers, and we know that backyard poultry farmers are huge now.

Over 5.5 million of the new chickens sold were to new chicken owners this year. Don't kiss your chickens. I know. It seems like a good rule of thumb any day. But they are saying, hey, hey, hey, hey, don't kiss your chickens, okay? There have been children under five

be sickened with salmonella. Now, no one has died from it, but, you know, there's been many children sickens. That means that they're kissing the chickens. You can go ahead and write your own jokes on that. So just remember that, you know, it's a bacterial infection, and in most people, it just resolves on its own

in a week or less after causing diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. Now, it could be really severe if you're under five or over 65. So any of you youngsters or oldsters out there kissing your chickens, how about you stop? You know, don't do it for me.

Do it for your own health, okay? And then we talked about the plague is showing up in Colorado, and it shows up, you know, all the time. It hasn't gone away since the, I don't know what they said, the 20s or the 40s. It's been around, you know, forever. It keeps showing up and, you know, it shows up in rodents in Colorado all the time. Well, now we see millions of mice are swarming in Australian towns, and they head off the plague.

So if you live in Australia, and I know we have Australian listeners to Chewing the Fat, and thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat. I appreciate it. I love Australia. I wish I could have visited the country before you guys locked it down and don't want anybody else leaving or coming into your country now, thanks to COVID. But, and I've talked about Australia before, I'm a huge fan. But apparently now they have a huge problem with plague mice in Australia. So I'm guessing, and this is just a thought from chewing the fat.

Here in America, don't kiss your chickens. In Australia, don't kiss your rats. Just a good rule of thumb. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. All right, I got this email into Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com, and I don't know what country it's from. I mean, we have listeners of chewing the fat all over the country.

It could be from the U.S., could be from Australia, could be from Canada, it could be from any European country that listens to chewing the fat. Welcome. Welcome. It's from a man named Mike. And he said, hey, cannot get enough of the show. It's the best podcast available.

Thank you so much, Mike. We appreciate it. Now to the question. If someone identifies as non-binary, doesn't that mean that there are only two genders? I mean, binary means two. So either there is no such thing. as non-binary or only two genders. These are the questions that keep me up at night.

I know if anyone would have the answer, it would be you. All right, Mike, well, first of all, we do know that binary is, you know, if you look at the definition, the actual definition, it's, you know, something having two parts relating to composed of or involving two things. So if you're non-binary, that means you're not two things, right? You're open to anything. Now, you're not buy, because if you're not, you buy, that means just two things.

So if you're non-binary, you are open to anything. And man, what a great thing that is, isn't it? When you're non-something, it's important to be a part of something, even if you're a part of non. Right? Those are just the types of emails that I'm getting here at Chewing the Fat. So thank you very much. I see where someone tagged me on two. Twitter, a digital trends tweet showing how Michael Jordan's golf course, this is a private

course, of course, of course, Michael Jordan's golf course is private, of course, of course. Anyway, it's a private course, of course. It shows how it's using drones to deliver goods to the golfers out on the course. And yes, I'm all for drones delivering things. I'm all for it. I want drones to be dropping things off to my house almost immediately. I want to be able to order something and have it dropped off at the house now. But let me say this to you.

As a former golfer, it's been a long time since I've been out on a golf course golfing or riding a golf cart around watching other people golf, for that matter. And I used to golf all the time. And I still have my favorite putter, by the way, a putter that my father won years ago in a golf tournament. It's a ballpark Frank hot dog. He wanted it. It was a ballpark Frank golf tournament

and he got a putter. It's a half a hot dog. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. You wish you had a putter like that. So, uh, it's, anyway,

if you're out golfing, and I'm on hole seven, or hole 18, if you're on 18, the clubhouse right there, you're close. But if you're out in the middle of, middle of a round,

and you're golfing 36 instead of a, instead of a quick 18, and you're thirsty, and you're thirsty, and you're thirsty, and you're, want to drink. Isn't it better to have like the green girls delivering goods? I mean, it's a private club. You'd think Michael Jordan would have the babes on the greens deliver goods,

wouldn't you? It would just seem to me, you know, cool that the drone brings me stuff, but I'd rather have the green girls bringing me stuff while I'm out on the course. Maybe it's just me. Oh, and did I mention I heard from my friend Reem again? Yes, Ream has contacted me again. Reem E.L. Hashimi, the Emirates Minister of State and Managing Director of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai World Expo, 2020 Committee. And Ream is writing me to stand as my partner to receive my share of gratification from foreign companies who, I help during the bidding exercise towards the Dubai World Expo 2020 committee. I also want to use this fund to assist coronavirus symptoms and causes.

So Ream has now added the coronavirus symptoms and causes to the email. Plus, Ream is still pushing the Dubai World Expo 2020. You think maybe we'd have something else that we're pushing? I mean, it's 2021, Ream. You need to update this email. You've already added coronavirus symptoms and causes. but with ream reminded me that she's a single arab woman and serving as a minister and there's a limit to personal income and investment level that's the reason that she can't receive such a huge sum back to her country or personal account so an agreement was reached with the foreign companies she got an agreement with foreign companies to direct the gratifications to an open beneficiary account with the financial institution where it will be possible for me to instruct further transferals of the fund to a third-party account for investment purposes,

which is the reason she contacted me because she wants me to receive the fund as my partner for investment in her country. How cool is that? Riem has picked me out. Now, and they haven't changed the amount. The last time was a lot smaller. It was for something else. This time we're back to 47,745,533 euros. With a financial institution waiting my instruction for further transferral to a destination account, as soon as I have, RIM, has my information indicating interest, and I want to receive and invest the fund. I'll get compensated with 30% of the total amount and I'm going to get benefit from the investment. So all I have to do is email ream back at this separate email account, which is the Gmail account.

Her email account that she sent it to me from is a different email address than what she usually sends it to me from. It's sent from Papa daisca at Uftplavdiv.bjee.g dash, yuf dash plavdiv.div.bg. So that's normally a different email address that Ream sends it to me from. But she also has a different email address for me to reply to if I want to indicate interest to receive and invest the fund. Man, do I? Do I want to get 30% of 47,745,533 euros? Yes. So I'm replying to Ream right now.

I'll get right back to you. Oh, hey, and I'd like to thank the federal judge who was listening to chewing the fat yesterday as we pled the stupidity of Lori and Muslimo having to beg to leave the country in our Operation Varsity Blues segment. I mean, I got to play the theme, right? Hello? Operation Varsity Blues. tonight's episode

Judge decides Yes, he said they could go to Mexico Yet no kidding. Duh. It's ridiculous they've got to beg to go on vacation with their children. But they had to beg. And they did beg.

And the judge said, sure, go ahead. The probation office was good with it. And the judge, you know, they made their case, the same case that I made for them that they've already paid off. their debts, they're done their time, they're working off their social credits that they've got to do.

I mean, she's already pulled hers off. I know. Stop it. Her volunteer hours. He's almost done with this 250 hours. And they still have supervised release now for a couple of years left. The whole thing is ridiculous. But at least the federal judge said, yeah, go ahead.

So tonight's episode, Judge, decides. I love the... I'm going to be sad to see these segments go because I just love hearing this theme. Canada. Yeah, it's a nice episode. I love that theme so much.

I know, I know, it's just me. Hey, don't forget, June 1st, we start hurricane season. And it's my youngest daughter's birthday, by the way, June 1st. Just our happy early birthday, two miles. But we have hurricane season coming June 1st, which begins that day. But we have disturbances already going on. We have won about 450 miles east, northeast of Bermuda, that, you know, has got showers and thunderstorms and could be organized.

as time passes, but we also have a disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico already. I know. And they're talking about it being still disorganized. It still, you know, could come together a little bit. But no matter what, it's going to cause some, you know, serious rain and flooding in the Gulf Coast states. We may get some serious rain here anyway. And don't forget, they just announced that, you know, for the new hurricane season. I go with the Jack Harris plan.

The Jack Harris plan, if I remember right, for hurricane season, for all the years I spent in Florida and covering hurricanes and being the official hurricane watch station at the mothership, Operation Storm Watch. Anyway, every year they predict how many name storms and bad storms, and they give you the numbers, and then they revise them as the season goes on. Those dangleberries in Colorado,

and the people down at the NOAA, the National Atlantic Hurricane Center, whatever the heck they call themselves, they give you the numbers, and then they revise them, depending on the weather. So they say this year, they're looking at 13 to 20 named storms.

And I think Jack is always like 8 to 12 and with 20 full storms or something like that. I've got to reach out to him, so remember his actually prediction. But you predict the same thing every year. the point because every year these places do their professional predictions

and then they revise them. Yeah, that's what we think this year. We look at things. This is what we think this year. And then, you know, as the season progresses, yeah, no, we're revising it. And they, you know, it's either down or up. It just depends on what they see happening. It's... Just be prepared. It is hurricane season.

And we haven't had our first one, Anna, yet. But it's coming. It's coming. So the Friends Reunion premieres on HBO Max, the 27th of this month. And I don't know. I'm going to guess I'm going to have to watch it. I mean, it's hosted by James Gordon,

who I kind of like. And they've got all kinds of special guests on top of just the Friends cast as going to be part of the show. Plus David Beckham, Justin Bieber, B.T.S. Cindy Crawford. Larry, Lady Gaga.

It's going to be huge. It's just going to be a monster trailer. I watched the reunion trailer for it, and it's just, you know, it's, it'll be fun to watch. I will say that my man, John Ziegler, who's been on the show before and on Twitter at Zigman Freud,

tweeted about the Friends Reunion trailer and the Friends Reunion show by asking how many of the world, media crowd who are celebrating the hashtag friends reunion would be tweeting messages urging a boycott today if NBC ever had a hit show based in NYC with only six very white attractive heterosexual characters. I mean, it would never happen. Never happen. There are shows a plethora of shows and movies that will not happen today. And this is one of them. I'm in a great's an excellent question and i think we all know the answer speaking of friends though a new jersey

judge uh finally recognized uh friends with benefits so new jersey's u s district judge susan d wigginton has legally recognized friends with benefits ruling they fall under the fourth amendment protection after a man was caught with drugs at the home of his special friend, according to the legal declaration, on fourth amendment.com. So the Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and sets requirements for issuing warrants.

If there's no probable cause and a person is illegally searched, any evidence collected from the search will be excluded from evidence at trial. And by the way, you know, in today's world, seems that even if you're suspicious, you're guilty of something.

It's not illegal to be suspicious, but anyway. So, this guy was arrested while clad in his undies, and after being yanked from bed in the home of a woman who he had slept with

one time before. He arrived, you know, for a hookup, and the police arrived a few hours later. They found in his fanny pack a hundred and nine vials of heroin and a semi-automatic handgun, both of which were seized, just 109 vials of heroin, though.

I don't even care about the semi-automatic handgun. If you've got, I think it's probably a rule, that if you have over 100 vials of heroin, you've got to have some kind of handgun with you. I think that's a law. Bratley was charged with nicotics and firearms. offenses in which he already had several outstanding warrants. Okay.

So his other warrants in 2015, he was arrested for selling heroin near a school and had felony come. All right. Reels was arrested on hindering apprehension charges. What does that even mean hindering apprehension charges? You mean he was trying not to get caught like every other felon? Okay. So we've now got hindering apprehension?

Okay. Thank you. So the police had a warrant for Bratley's arrest, but did not have a warrant to search the home. Okay. So this ruling came last week with a home extended to the home of friends with benefits and that the lawyers have grounds to challenge the seizure. Wow. That is huge. that is being

hello we've got we've got a warrant to arrest you but if you're at somebody's house taking care of a little business that is the

business clause and you better have a warrant for that place too wow okay thanks judge that's a good ruling the New Jersey federal judge

bidness ruling speaking the business. Ariana Grande, I want to break it to you easy for those of you that are going to be disappointed with us. Ariana Grande married. I know she tied the knot. Very, very sad for you single

people out there that were still hoping at a shot with Ariana. Maybe you still do, even though she's married. So she's married to Dalton Gomez. I guess they're nothing but in love. They got married at the small, tiny, intimate ceremony.

And everyone was just so happy. and the families couldn't be happier. And they just love being together in their Montecito home. So they got to be in the same neighborhood with Harry and Megan and Ellen and Oprah. Isn't that special? Isn't that nice? They just got that special historic house. And they just wanted to be just a small, happy little ceremony.

And that special. Congratulations, Ariana. We're happy for you. And I know he likes keeping his relationship with, private too. So everybody will just be happy with posting things on social media so we can keep everybody up to date with what we're doing. But we're still going to be private.

I mean, after all, I still have to promote everything I'm doing. I want privacy, but I still have to promote everything I'm doing. Okay? That's why I live in this gated community of Montecito. Yeah, I get you. It's all good. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, did you see where Tiger King back in the news?

I know. So the feds have now seized 68 big cats from the Tiger King Park in Oklahoma. They just took them. Hello, they're ours. So I guess that Lowe, he and his wife, Jeffrey and Lauren, you remember them from the Tiger King documentary on Netflix, has not been they have not been keeping up

with taking care of all the cats. So lions and tigers and bears, oh my, are federally protected and they need to be treated right under the Endangered Species Act and they were handling them improperly.

So they took them over. I know what's her face down in Florida said that she would take the tigers. She might take them all. No problem. But the federal judge took them all. And according to this, Lowe now wants out of it.

He wants nothing to do with it. He's had enough. He wants out of it. He's probably spent enough money. And, you know, we're tired of running the slipshot operations. We don't have enough to feed them. I'm sick of taking care of him. So Tiger King's in jail.

He's not getting out. Cancer or no cancer. He's stuck in Fort Worth. I just want to be done with the whole thing. So take it all. Okay? So yesterday I made the prediction of that Melinda Gates will get more than McKenzie Bezos did when she got a divorce. McKenzie's payout was $38 billion.

Now, she's worth more now. But at the time, the settlement was $38 billion. So if Melinda gets anywhere from $45 to $50 billion, she looks good. right she got a lot more in the settlement that's a good fight but if she wants to be worth more than mackenzie she needs to you know tag bill for 80 billion or take it half of it half of it baby take 75 billion and i'm gone so i mean that's possible that is possible i told you no she gets more she's going to get a whole lot more than mackenzie and i still believe that we're still getting stories now that the divorce didn't come as a surprise to any of the people that worked with

them at the foundation were getting inside reports that they lived in separate wings zanadu 2.0 wasn't zanadu they lived in two separate wings for several years before the divorce well i mean that doesn't mean they weren't working on their marriage or still trying to make it work that just means they have different busy schedules right and you don't want to i get i kind of get that. You know, I mean, it's a big house at Zanadu 2.0, right? And Bill's doing his thing and Delinda's doing her thing. So, you know, I'm going to

stay down here and you can stay down there and we'll see each other, you know, in one of the kitchens someday. We'll meet up, you know, in the driveway when you're leaving and I'm coming home, something like that. But I guarantee you, I guarantee you that Melinda's going to

walk away with a lot more than McKenzie Bezos did it. 38 billion. And I think now I'm going to say that she gets 75. $75 billion. No way she gets less than that. No way. Well, let's say half of whatever the total worth of Bill is.

Right. So it's got to be more than what McKenzie got. And it's got to be at least half of what Bill's worth is. What's he worth now? Ooh, this one only says Bill's worth $150 billion. He is not doing well at all. I do not know how he's going to get by. But, man, you cut, I mean, now you're looking at Melinda.

Well, she's still getting more than McKenzie if she just gets half of $115 billion, right? So she gets, what, $55, $60 billion? Sure, sure. That's still more than McKenzie. It cuts bills worth in half, and it makes her on the rich list for the women. So when I say if she gets $75 billion, that's more than half of what Bill's worth. So I'll just, I'll stick with she gets more than McKenzie, which is $38 billion, and probably half of bills worth.

So more than 38, probably half. That's a chewing the fat prediction. Hey, and for those of you that think you're worthy of a blue checkmark on Twitter, you can apply now. So you're going to be able to submit applications starting right now. According to this, it started yesterday, for those of you listening live on the 21st of May 2021. So you're going to have to fall under one of six categories, government, companies, brands and organizations, news organizations, and journalists, entertainment, sports and gaming or activist organizers and of course other influential individuals now they had paused the

verification application since 2017 because of the criticism of the process so they're making guidelines for eligibility clearer this time around are they and they're going to make explaining how it defines particularly notable accounts that deserve a checkmark. So they're going to expand the eligibility for verification later this year for academics, scientists, and religious leaders. Oh, that's great. That's great. So it's a big deal.

And they are rolling out an opportunity for you to apply for a Twitter blue checkmark. Huh. Time is supposed to be pretty tough over at Twitter if they're doing that. They're trying to open it up and make people feel like they're more a part of it because they just got done remember the other day, they're going to start charging. They want a separate little $2.99 a month Twitter so you can do a couple different things. And then now they're saying, well, you know what? Why don't we just, we'll open it up.

You can apply to get a blue check mark. And you will tell you if you're worthy or not of a blue check mark. but we'll open it up for everybody. So, you know, go ahead. Apply. And, you know, good luck. Good luck. Okay.

All right. No problem. And I don't want to get out of here without saying, thankfully, that the Palestinians and the Israelis are in the middle of a ceasefire. We'll see how long that lasts. It'll last as long as Hamas will let it last. It's not up to Israel.

Israel didn't start it. It's a matter of fact, if I'm pretty sure they didn't start any of it. But maybe they started to be just because they're Jews. But after 11 days of violence and the pressure from many countries around the world, including the U.S., wanted both sides to, you know, reach an agreement and have a ceasefire, Israel was pretty much already there, right? They were saying, hey, stop firing on us and we'll stop firing on you. It's pretty simple, pretty simple.

And I'm glad that our president, Joseph Robinette Biden, worked hard to broker this ceasefire, you know, by leaving it up to Egypt. We are, I mean, that's congratulations. Congratulations. to this administration for brokering a ceasefire by leaving it up to Egypt to mediate the ceasefire. Man, that was smart. You don't see smartness like that very often, but we witnessed it here. So all of you and all of you journalists that are asking your question, but for how long?

I don't know. Why don't you talk to Hamas about that? Okay. Then get back to me. I don't want to leave on the Israel Hamas battle going on.
