Starting point is 00:00:00 Happy Monday. April 1st. April Fool's Day. Everybody wants me to do some kind of silly April Fool's. I could tell you the podcast has been canceled, but that's not really funny. I could do other stupid things, too. It's just why. You know, why? And I was in the mood for maybe doing something funny, and then I'm halfway through a story about Tony Romo,
Starting point is 00:00:26 coming back to the Dallas Cowboys, leaving CBS. I didn't even make it to the end of the story, and I'm thinking, April fools. And it just pissed me off. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. A lot of food stories in the offing today. I started with the beef products recalled over a potential E. coli contamination. Amazing. More Aurora packing company incorporated being pulled off the shelf.
Starting point is 00:00:57 4,838 pounds of bees. and not just any old beef. 4,838 pounds of beef heel and chuck tender products that may be contaminated with that E. coli. So, you know, look into it. If you've got Aurora Angus beef products in your freezer, eat them, don't eat them. At this point, I think every kind of beef we have in our freezers
Starting point is 00:01:26 is contaminated with E. coli. Nobody's claiming reporting getting sick. Nobody's reported this. And so it's just cook it. Make sure you cook it. If you're eating the raw meat, you deserve to be sick. Okay? I know that there, we also have the story about the frozen breaded chicken, the health
Starting point is 00:01:44 risk that lurks in your freezer. Hundreds of Canadians have been sick and based on a misunderstanding. Okay, well, they're Canadians. Why do I care about Canadians misinterpreting? What are they misunderstanding about the, okay, the pieces come out of the box looking cooked because the batter is, oh, they're just eating it raw. They're not cooking it. Cook the food. That's just dumb.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Isn't that fiending to herd? That's just dumb. Domino's making pizza hot dog pizza. That might be good. Depends on the hot dog they use, though. Domino's from Michigan, they might use coagles. Hold on. According to brand eating, the CalZ hot dog filled with mozzarella.
Starting point is 00:02:29 sliced. It doesn't say what hot dog they're using because if they use Kogel hot dogs, I am in. Kogel hot dogs is it. Hot dog and yell the hot dog pistas not only topped with sausage-style meat stuffed in the crust. Burger pizza.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Oh, that's just, they've got burger pizza on too. I don't care about that. I want the hot dog pizza. What are you doing with the hot dog water? The hot dog water. Isn't it not supposed to make it lose weight. Hot dog water diet?
Starting point is 00:03:04 I think we did have a story about hot dog water diet. I don't know that it was real April 1st, fake news. Hot dog diet water diet. And then I found this interesting about a man
Starting point is 00:03:17 who sent his Big Mac into space for his YouTube channel. Kind of cool. Right? He puts it up on a balloon and it goes up into space. He's YouTubeing it all. He's taping it all.
Starting point is 00:03:29 And then the balloon the balloon breaks. comes down, lands in a soccer field in England. Did he eat it? Yeah. He drove, it was about six hours away from his home, where it came down at. And the players on the field were like,
Starting point is 00:03:44 Hey, what is that? That's mine, dude. Get away from my Big Mac. I do shoot it for my YouTube channel. And so, party, yeah, he walked up shooting, video, take the bite right out of it. So he's in a space Big Mac. Isn't that cloudy with chance of meatballs?
Starting point is 00:04:01 I mean, that cloudy with a chance of meatballs is a movie. Yeah, they had burgers flying from the sky. I don't know. That's correct. They did. Yeah, so he just made it like, that is pretty cool. Space. That's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:04:13 It's not the same. But it came from the sky. It's not the same. It came from the sky. And Burger King, last in our food news report today. Burger King testing a vegetarian whopper made with impossible burger. Now, what kills me about this? is that the Impossible Burger is already being sold in thousands of restaurants across the United States.
Starting point is 00:04:40 And now the Impossible Burger is the bigger brand. There's another big brand that's making the fake burgers to Beyond Meat. And they're having a fight with what stores they're going into. Okay, so they make it look like real beef. It looks like it's bleeding, it's red. I thought the whole point of being a vegetarian was not eating the meat. They make it look like.
Starting point is 00:05:07 That's what I'm saying. Why are you making it look like meat then? It doesn't make any sense to me. Anyway, Burger King and St. Louis has got the impossible burger now for you. I don't know. I didn't travel to St. Louis today. But you knew you wouldn't cover this.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Now, we could get it at Red Robin. They're also joining the fast casual restaurants bringing the plant-based burger. to their 570 stores. Plant-based burger? Yeah. Aren't all plant-based? Impossible burger.
Starting point is 00:05:40 No. Because the cow eats plants or grass. So isn't all that plant-based already? See, you know what that is? That's someone who eats meat trying to make people who don't eat meat feel bad. Is all that is. They all are plant-based. No, they're not.
Starting point is 00:05:57 They're not. Beef is completely different. Yeah, no, cows need grass and stuff, and that's what they eat, but then it turns into meat. That's why we kill them. Duh. Why do you hate vegetarians? All right, so this weekend,
Starting point is 00:06:18 I caught the Netflix, the high women, the Bonnie and Clyde story. I have been unbelievably fascinated. I can't get Bonnie and Clyde out of my head. Why didn't you tell me? What do you mean? Do I have to report to what I watch? Yes, I would come over and watch it with you. Oh, darn.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I'll have to remember next time when I want to watch something. I told you if you have something good to watch, me know. And I, you know, I'm sorry. Is it called again, or let me add it to my list? I apologize. Bonny and Clyde? It's called the highwayman.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Oh, yes. I did see that one, yeah. Kevin. Sorry, the trailer started playing. Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson. I found it fascinating for a couple of reasons. It's not the, it's not the, we're going to make Bonnie and Clyde look great story. In fact, just the opposite.
Starting point is 00:07:07 And it's so where we live. for whatever reason it hadn't hit me that Bonnie and Clyde were from Dallas and the two police officers that were killed in this in their close to the end of their spree
Starting point is 00:07:23 were from Fort Worth South Lake South Lake and there's a little plaque for them where they died on Easter Sunday that's what that is amazing it was just like wow okay
Starting point is 00:07:36 look they were Frank Hammer, the police officer, the Texas Ranger, who tracked and killed them, who Kevin Costner plays, was fascinating how he got back into it because the Texas Rangers had been disbanded. And then Bonnie and Clyde were just putts thieves, making names for themselves. and they killed a guard in prison. They broke some people out of prison, and a guard died. And that's when the Texas law department and the governor said,
Starting point is 00:08:19 well, we'll get to bring hammer back and his buddy and let them go catch him. And they finally did. And the day that they caught them, the Ford V8, 187 bullets. Wow. Killed Bonnie and Clyde. I mean, it is, the whole story is fascinating.
Starting point is 00:08:36 And the family of Hammer have been pissed at all these years because Bonnie and Clyde were portrayed as, you know, these Robin Hoods and we've made them into these stars. And they were nothing but a simple, murderous thugs. So the movie followed the two cops. Yeah. Because I was going to say, I thought Bonnie and Clyde was, because I'm watching the trailer now.
Starting point is 00:08:55 And I was like, I thought Bonnie and Clyde was a boy and a girl, but all I see is just two dudes. That's correct, Bonnie and Clyde is. boy and a girl. That's what they, that's why there's Bonnie and Clyde. Clyde is his boy? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Yeah. I thought it was Bonnie. I didn't realize either that they called, what do they call Dallas? The devil's backyard. Really? That's where they lived. Because I said here,
Starting point is 00:09:24 a lot of a car, they were born. It talks about where they were born and they lived in, you know, during the Depression. And they were just, Little things.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Like Bonnie was four feet 11, weighed maybe 80 pounds. Clyde was like 5'3, maybe 120 pounds. You know, they talk about him wearing a hat to make him look taller. Make him look taller. Yeah. So funny. But they had, where does it talk about the Dallas? What they called Dallas.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Gosh, darn it. Because they were, it was during the Depression. And their families lost their farms. and they moved to the slums of West Dallas. Where do you live? Not West Dallas. Known as the Devil's Back porch. Yeah, backyard, back porch.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Are we in the West Dallas? Anyway. Think about it. I think we are in the West Dallas. No, this is Irving. We're not anywhere close to West Dallas. Yeah, but West Dallas right over the tracks. Stop talking.
Starting point is 00:10:23 This is not the devil's back porch. Is that what Glenwood here? Yes, it's very possible. But they were just putses. And what got them in trouble, though, was killing the security guard, you know, the prison guard, because then that pissed everybody off. Talk about it.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Before they were, before they were just, you know, robbing little stores and trying to rob a bank, and they robbed a bank and got like $1.50 once. I haven't seen the movie yet. Did you stop spoiling it for me? Well, this isn't a movie. This is about their life. All you tell me now is, like,
Starting point is 00:10:57 there's two plaques for these two police officers, so you tell me that they die at the end. Well, the police officers died way before the end. That's what got them. We're being hunted. Is at least a spoiler? It starts. It doesn't start when they were kids.
Starting point is 00:11:10 It starts at the prison break. If you want me to spoil it. Spoil it or more. Yeah. First of all, I love Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson both. They do a great job. And they talked about where they had caught them and shot them and killed them was
Starting point is 00:11:26 the exact place. Costner said they filmed it at the same place that they actually did it. And he said it was kind of, it was kind of creepy and weird all at the same time. vibes. Yeah. But it's fantastic if you have a chance to see. Kind of slow.
Starting point is 00:11:40 You know, it's kind of, you know, because they're hunting Bonnie and Clyde and their police officers and they go through the motions of, you know, what they, what you would do. You know, sometimes, you know what, being a cop is not what it's like on TV. Yeah. No, that's not real life. Even though they say that it's a criminal justice system. It's not real life. But I'm fascinated with the Bonnie and Clyde story.
Starting point is 00:12:04 And ratings? why you read the movie? 18? All right, so Chris gave me a story today that I don't know if I'm as mad about it as him. You should be. Okay, turn your mic off for a moment. Is it off?
Starting point is 00:12:34 I can't hear him. He moved this little something must be. All right, so there's two men in Alaska who get filmed killing, hibernating a bear in cubs. I mean, I completely wrong. I wouldn't do it.
Starting point is 00:12:51 it myself. Guaranteed this bad thing. Completely wrong. And they show them shooting into where the bears are hibernating and they don't care about the baby because the Cubs. They just want the big bear. And you hear the screams. I mean, it's, all right, it's bad. I do. You know what? I'm with you now. The more I talk about it, the more I'm with Chris, I think. Except that I don't, they got fined. I mean, they went in front of the courts. Yeah, they got fine. They got their license revoked. They, one goes to prison for five months and the other one does community service. Both men pleaded guilty to illegally killing the mother and her cubs and we're ordered to pay $1,800 restitution each.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Five months in jail, two months suspended. Also ordered to pay a fine of $20,000 with $11,000 suspended. So it was only $9,000 plus the $2,000 early. Hey, when they do this stupid suspended, just don't put it out there. If you're going to suspend it, don't put it out there. A hunting license also was revoked. And he had to forfeit the equipment and vehicles that he used on the trip to kill the bear. They were on skis.
Starting point is 00:13:56 They were on skis. Okay. Oh, sorry, officer. You could take my skis and my boots. What about the backpacks? And the backpacks. Meanwhile, Owen Remmer, right, the son who was sentenced to suspended jail time, community service, had his hunting license revoked for two years, also ordered to take a hunter safety course.
Starting point is 00:14:15 I mean, more. What do you want? More. They went before the judge. That's not justice. That's not justice. That is not justice. The fascinating part of the video is because it's being filmed.
Starting point is 00:14:26 It's being studied in this, in this, in Alaska, the den on Esther Island in Alaska, which is, you know. We watch the, it's right there. Esther Island. It's right there in Alaska. Oh, okay. I mean, you've never been there? No, I haven't. Have you?
Starting point is 00:14:42 Yeah. That's beautiful. Oh. How close up from the canoe national forest that we always watch? Yeah, where the salmon? The fattest bears? Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Not far. Next to that? It's not far. That's not far. He just do zip in, you zip out. Take a little plain drop in. That's it? Yeah, you're right there.
Starting point is 00:15:02 So, but they do it. They show them pulling the mama bear out and cutting her up and taking a picture with her. And that's, you know, that's what makes it, I know what made people so mad is because they cut it up. But then they come back. Another day, they cut it up. and they bag it up and they ski out, but then they come back to cover their tracks.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Right? They cover, they realize the cubs are still there, the shells are still there from their rifles. So they come back, they bag up the cubs, they pick up the shells, they talk about,
Starting point is 00:15:33 you know, they'll be able to pin this on us. So they got to feel it bad. Right? They did it and they thought they were Mr. you know, Mr. father and son hunter killers.
Starting point is 00:15:42 And then, you know, maybe we should have, I don't know, picked up our stuff and not left our shells. the dead baby bears there yeah I know they're filming it for you know
Starting point is 00:15:54 study the bears and everything you know because it's National Park and all but they won't be filming us wrong right so it's fascinating how and they got in trouble and now that you know they want to turn it into political stuff because Trump is pursuing rules which will greatly expand
Starting point is 00:16:11 the area where the kind of killing scene in this video can take place and kitty block president of the Humane Society International said that this is A complete disregard Kitty Block. From where? She's the president of the Humane Society.
Starting point is 00:16:24 You know Kitty. She's the president of the Humane Society International, not one of those little... The local ones. Yeah, she's the head of the thing, the international one. And this is a complete disregard for lives. It's reprehensible. So, what are you going to do?
Starting point is 00:16:42 That's bears. We kill them anyway. They go hunting for the bears. Yeah, but it's not fair. It's not fair. It's not fair. gaming. You're killing them while they're sleeping during hibernation. Maybe they should have set up an alarm or something. SimplySafe. Should have wired the
Starting point is 00:17:00 hibernation. I don't think Simplicef works that way, but I like it. They don't want to be involved with killing the bears in Alaska. But I'm just saying maybe the bears should have done. But they actually did, right? I mean, the people were studying. They had their own simple safe. Yeah, that's how they were able to. It didn't really save the bears, though. I mean, they should have saved the bears, I would think. It should have some kind of, hey, some kind of speaker on the video camera. That'll be cool.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Right? Simply save does have that. Right. Yeah, so maybe Simpl save it's back in. Maybe the camps and the park should have the Simply Save camera set up instead of just their stupid little cameras out there with just taking pictures. Yeah, and then throws out an alarm like, eh, and, I see you, I'm going to kill you in five, four, three.
Starting point is 00:17:50 What are you doing? Oh, the voice of God. Right. Yeah. See? And even if you wake up to bears, you save their life. Yeah, bear wakes up and kills them. We're done.

Starting point is 00:23:34 You're helping. It's what it's about. You're helping. Wow. Why do you hate? New York becomes the second state after California to ban most single-use plastic bags. You know this, I don't know why this... Pisses me off so much, but it does.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Well, this is coming from the guy that has recycling bags for the recycles. I didn't buy those, though. I mean, I bought it. But do you have recycling bags? Okay, that's all I asked. Pisses me off. But I also use trash grocery bags, plastic bags. Those Walmart bags are handy.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Heck yeah, they are. And the Target ones are even bigger. They're bigger. Yes. And thicker, thicker of material. Thank you. Yeah. I mean, there's other grocery chains that are good.
Starting point is 00:24:16 You know who gets the cheap ones? Kroger. No, the Kroger. Oh, no, no, no. Kroger is good because they get the plastic one with the little handle. Yes. I like those, yes. It's the Chinese takeout restaurants.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Oh, those are not even garbage bags. That's what I'm saying. They're small and they're, they're, they're, they're ready. Thank you. I mean, those things, those are bought, like, those are made from recycled, recycled, recycled material. Oh, three times recycled? At least. At least those are made from, yes.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Those are bottom bin. Look, I got this. I got the Target bags. I got the Walmart bags and I got these. Which one do you want? That's a good rating right there, yeah. Yeah. And if you go to these, it's cheaper.
Starting point is 00:24:59 You're obviously making more money. But no, bad news for you carrying stuff in it and everything. You had to be careful. You double that up. And even doubling it up. No, double you still not there. It doesn't work. You're halfway.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Thank you. Also, I mean, look, New York, residents, according to Governor Andrew Cuomo, and of course he would, has no reason to lie, would use 71,000 tons of non-biodegradable plastic bags annually. Like the city does? Now they have blighted our environment and clogged our waterways. Have they? Governor.
Starting point is 00:25:32 No. Have they? No, I don't think so. Are you kidding me? They've clogged our waterways. See, this is what we don't get to the story, Jeffrey. Absolutely. See, you once again fail to your own.
Starting point is 00:25:45 rule. We just read the headlines and move on. The final four is set. Texas Tech, Michigan State, Auburn, and Virginia. Going to battle for the final four. It's college basketball. What are you talking about? What do you mean? Who cares? I don't think people code to you for the final four. They should though. Should they? Yeah, they should. I've never like understanding football like you know more on
Starting point is 00:26:11 Triviac when comes up but college basketball. It's part of my talking series now. Is it? Yeah, talking college basketball. So what's the title? Talking college basketball. It's part of my talking series. It says we're in the final four.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Also, that wouldn't be. Although I could if you wanted. I'd talk about it. It doesn't bother me to talk about it. Except I haven't followed basketball in quite some time. I want to put the question out there. On the audience, raise your hand if you want Jeffrey to do a talking series on college basketball. Raise your hand.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Look at. Look at. What am I looking at? Look at. Hands up everywhere. I know. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:26:48 We don't think we're going to get back to it. But, you know, the season is over, right? I mean, it's the final four. Too late? Yeah, it's too late. But I appreciate it. Next year. Put them down now.
Starting point is 00:26:58 You don't have to leave them up. Wow. So next year. Thank you. Appreciate it. Another great move out of New York from the great governor, Andrew Cuomo. Congestion pricing. Bless you?
Starting point is 00:27:12 What is? Thank you. What this is, is Andrew Cuomo's way of killing two. birds with one stone. He can charge people for going into areas that are
Starting point is 00:27:27 you know, have a lot of traffic. They can charge you more money. So, syntax. Well, no, just like if you want to drive your car into that part of Manhattan, we're going to charge you more. Yeah, but I'm driving my car. Yeah, we're going to charge you more. No, but I'm driving my car. Toll policy. Maybe it's going to raise a billion
Starting point is 00:27:45 dollars in funds so they can fix the subway system. So what you're going to do is if you want it, you're making it right here. Oh, we charge you. Wow. Congestion pricing. You know what's going to happen?
Starting point is 00:27:56 It's going to happen like the movie I'm legend. Nobody's going to be in that area. I disagree with that as Manhattan. No way people will just, you know, you just pay the toll when you move on. And that's why he gets away with it. You just pay the toll. I mean, every time they raise the prices on the bridges.
Starting point is 00:28:10 The bridges are like 80 bucks a car now. Nobody cares. No, I mean, actually look it up what they are. because I think the bridges are like 20 bucks a car. I mean, it's a lot. It's a lot to cross those bridges into Manhattan, man. At least 20 bucks. And people pay it.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Eh, you just pay it. Because you're already paying to park. You're paying the toll to cross the bridges. And you're paying a parking garage to park all day. Whether you park close to where you work or if you don't want to pay the congestion pricing. Are you ready? You're going to end up parking in a garage, you know, four or five. blocks away or 10 blocks away and then take the subway up up to downtown up to down give me a give me a
Starting point is 00:28:51 bridge and i'll tell you what they are it's 20 bucks you got george washington 15 bucks the lincoln tunnel 15 bucks right tunnel 15 bucks so it's not there the queen's tonal of nine dollars the so 15 the carry tunnel 950 hold on the verizon arrows bridge 19 the buy on bridge 15 the buy on bridge 15 the Goetheels Bridge. They all trying to make people feel good because it's not 20. It's not 20. When you go to Verrazzano Neros,
Starting point is 00:29:24 that's 19. That's from Satan Island to Brooklyn. 19 bucks. Yeah, Brooklyn does not want people from Staten Island there. Compared to San Francisco, $8, $6 in San Francisco. To cross the Golden Bridge, $8.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Yeah, I mean, Come on now. Think of that. Think of that. You have to pay in San Francisco to cross the Golden Gate Bridge. They're in California. All right, eight bucks. And it's longer.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Last time I'm a check. Last time I'm a check, the Golden Gate Bridge is. Golden Gate Bridge is not as big as people think. Really? Yeah. I was really disappointed. You crossed it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Did you walk it or with a car? I'm sorry? Did you walk it or did you go with a car? I'm sorry? Did you walk it or did you use a car? Is that a real question? You're asking me if I walked across a bridge? Yes, that's how you know.
Starting point is 00:30:17 That's how you know? That's how you know? No. Then how did you know? I didn't walk across the bridge. Then how do you know as long as? I was in an automobile. How can you tell?
Starting point is 00:30:24 Many people ride their bikes and walk across it. Oh, so you were your bike. No. You know. Yeah, no. No, I drove it an automobile. Yeah. It's a look.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Oh, look. Yeah. What do you say automobile? It's a car. Isn't it an automobile? That's what I was in. That's how people make fun of you because you're like 200 years old. You still call it automobobo.
Starting point is 00:30:42 what it is. It's an automobile. It's a car. Not what I was in. I was in an automobile. So you took like two days to cross it with an automobile. Yes, because we had to stop and crank it up every so often because it ran out of, you know, you can only crank it only drives for so long. Yeah. No, look it up for the length. Seriously. Now you got me interested because it really wasn't. I was surprised because you think that it's going to be this monstrous bridge. And I can't, you know, think of Florida and the Skyway Bridge, how big that is. That's a monstrous bridge. It's huge. Even the smaller bridges in Florida are in Tampa Bay, the Howard Franklin, the Courtney Campbell, the Skyway. Those are big bridges that are crossing, you know, big bodies of water, and they're pretty long.
Starting point is 00:31:26 And you think the Golden Gate Bridge and you think how this monster is, this beautiful, this iconic thing that you've seen in every movie ever made in California, every disaster movie. It's what the bridge, the apes crossed and Planet of the Apes. It's this giant bridge. and I would drive onto it and I'm like, this is it? And you look across to the island, to the prison, and the prison, you know, it's right out there. Everything is so, so closer than you think. So the Golden Gate Bridge is 9,000, 8,981 feet long.
Starting point is 00:32:00 I only counted 8,982, but okay. Oh, okay. And then that's- How long did you say it was? 8,981. Yeah, I only caught it 89. Oh, okay. And then the bridge that we're talking about, the narrow bridge that costs $19 to cross is $5,989. So the Golden Bridge is the second longest main span in the United States after the one in New York City.
Starting point is 00:32:27 So for $8, the Golden Gate Bridge is now the second longest main span in the United States after the narrowest. bridge in New York City. What about the Skyway Bridge? What is that? Why is that not? What's the stipulation here? What am I missing? There's no way.
Starting point is 00:32:49 There's no way the Golden Gate Bridge is longer than the Skyway bridge. No way. What am I missing? Yeah, what are you missing? How long is the Skyway bridge? There's got to be some kind of stipulation I'm missing. It's a main span. It's got to be like the Skyway must be built on the, the, the, the wires.
Starting point is 00:33:13 right and the sky and the golden gate is not so the golden gate is a main span built with the concrete and stuff the skyway bridge is 21,000 right but it's not a man it's not a span right it's built it's hung with the wires right
Starting point is 00:33:27 it's what they call those whatever but yes it's not a it's not like a concrete bridge yes yeah yeah yeah okay because what about the Macanah Bridge see because the sunshine the sunshine skyway bridge is the longest cable
Starting point is 00:33:43 Stade concrete bridge in the world. Yeah, not the span. What about the Mackinac Bridge, though? In Michigan, Mackinac Bridge is like five miles long. And that's got to be a single span. McAnnebredge is 26,372. Hello, that's huge. Plus it has dead bodies in it when they built it.
Starting point is 00:34:02 I'm sorry. Yeah, the guys fell into the columns. They have dead bodies in it. You cross it. Because guys fell into the column when they were pouring cement. I forget how many lives they lost when they built the McAnneux Bridge. But they were pouring cement into the columns. and guys would fall in.
Starting point is 00:34:15 They just kept pouring cement, man. So we lost one. Tell Mary, bills won't be home. He's in span three. It was bad. It was ugly. So the Mechina Bridge is the 20th long main span and the longest suspension bridge
Starting point is 00:34:34 between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere. I think each... See, I see a pattern here. Yes. Each bridge has his own thing. You have to be the longest. Yes. To be the longest.
Starting point is 00:34:45 This is the longest bridge from one tree to a white tree. And that tree, we can't ever cut down those trees because that's what we're judging. Yes. Yeah. I see a pattern here. That's very interesting. Sad. All right.
Starting point is 00:35:02 I can't do any more headlines after that. He's made me mad with the bridges. Does you have an opportunity to catch the keeping up with the Kardashians last night? I just wonder if you had an opportunity because it's the 16th season. What? The 16th season it started up last night.

Starting point is 00:45:49 because I looked as well all right so more sad news started today too I mean, this is, this is tough to take, man. The UK's new porn blocks law, wouldn't have effect. We talked about this. I know, but it's on now.
Starting point is 00:46:07 So this is the one that you need to have an ID, correct? That's right. You have to prove that you're an adult. By giving... No matter what. Yeah. A phone. Once you do it once, though, they claim that.
Starting point is 00:46:18 You're good. That's it. But it costs money, though, correct? Because I thought that's what, that was one of the things. Under the rules, adults will have to prove they are of age to view the content using one of a number of options, such as an over-the-counter card they can buy from a shop or uploading ID documents online. Isn't that interesting?
Starting point is 00:46:39 Because right now, if you... Digital minister, Marco James, said the UK could expect the age verification rules to be enforced by Easter this year. So they haven't... You just get in there ready right now. 100% everything is up and running. We're up and running in another. Right now it's like a nice soft beta launch. Yep.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Age verification measures urgently needed to help prevent children being exposed to harmful and inappropriate content. Shut up. Accessing the internet in age appropriate way is important for children and young people. It can be a positive opportunity to learn and keep in touch with friends and have fun. See, here's the thing how you do that you teach your kids. You don't go here until you're 18. The complexity of the matter makes it less frustrating, but not surprising.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Representative of the UK's safer internet center explained. I'm sorry, the minister of why. This is the representative for a UK safer internet center. I want all these jobs so bad. Nobody at the safer internet center is expecting to be a smooth and fast process at all. It shouldn't be any kind of process at all. Maybe that's a thought. They've had over a year to get this right, says Miles Jackman, a UK lawyer.
Starting point is 00:47:44 I want his job. Who specializes obscenity laws and sexual. Whoa. Obscenity law and sexual freedoms. Yeah, I do want his job. I want that job, too. I won't one with the government too. And Jill Kellogg, executive director of the Open Rights Group.

He just specializes in, what did he specialize again? Obscenity Law and Sexual Freedom. But the UK Safer Internet Center, stop it.
