So the average number of video streaming services utilized by the United States users has fallen for the first time. Wow, and I'm not quite sure what to make of this. The research firm Omedia, OMDIA, put out a report that said the figure declined from 7.23,
Starting point is 00:01:24 is the average in U.S. households in November, to 7.06. in April. So it doesn't seem like a big decline, but it is a decline. So I guess that we're thinking we're at the ultimate limit to the number of services a consumer will be able to manage. And the U.S. growth seems to be stumbling and maybe we've hit the new ceiling. I don't know. They still continue to say that Netflix and Disney, will be fine and they don't mention this here i don't know that i guess prime doesn't count because you have to be prime is part of the full amazon package they haven't split that up yet which i would uh think is going to come soon but we'll see uh while pay tv is largely stable
Starting point is 00:02:21 on their subscription video on demand and they increasingly have consumers using the what they call the aviod the advertising based video on demand we'll see i know that we're you know it's tough to manage access to all the content that we're getting i love it but it is you know you have to decide what content you're going to use and what content is having this show on and that show on i love it but okay it's still on the ride in the UK, they're at 5.78 services per user, but that's still, you know, way below the average of the United States users. So we'll see maybe if the economy has something to do with it, people are starting to realize, ooh, you know, maybe I don't need to spend that for that particular
Starting point is 00:03:19 streaming service. And I'm kind of that way with YouTube TV now. You know, they keep jacking the price up on YouTube TV plus all the other streaming devices, streaming services, it's getting to be, you know, a couple of bucks out of your pocket. A couple of bucks out of your pocket. And perhaps with the economy starting to struggle a little, maybe we all need to visit that little budgeting issue that we have with streaming services. So we'll see how it goes. Welcome, welcome to chewing the fat. And if you are visiting New York City or live in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood, you are able to visit the new Google store. I know, how excited are you now?
Starting point is 00:04:15 It's the launch for Google of their first brick-and-mortar retail location. It's going to have a room full of flat-screen TVs for customers to try Google's Stadia Gaming Service. something called an imagination space. It's a 17-foot round glass structure where you can experience Google's latest and greatest services and the showroom for Google's hardware products such as pixel phones. So man, how excited are you? I'm told reading this story that Google has purchased a bunch of property in that Chelsea neighborhood, or at least in New York. So, I mean, they are taking it over, it seems.
Starting point is 00:05:02 It's too bad de Blasio can't run again, or he'd be after them for money. Maybe he is anyway. Maybe we'll talk a little sometime about the mayoral election in New York. I know it doesn't really affect many of you that obviously don't live in New York or the United States listening to chewing the fat. But it is a fascinating run, and they are all beating up each other. right now and it seems to be a big deal that they're all blasting de Blasio well his wife for 850 million dollars given to the mental health program that she champions yeah um where did that money go eh we don't know uh you know it's somewhere that thrive program was so great and but what
Starting point is 00:05:55 happened to the 850 million dollar but budget. Yeah, it's somewhere. I don't know. It's somewhere. Oh. Okay. No problem then. We'll just let you keep all
Starting point is 00:06:12 that money. That's great. Speaking to New York, Harvey Weinstein, you know him, you love him, is soon to be extradited to California, obviously from New York. He's going to stand trial on charges that he sexually
Starting point is 00:06:28 assaulted five women in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. The New York judge ruled, hey, got to go. Remember they've been talking about they kept postponing it and putting it off? So he's 69 now. And they've spent the last few months fighting the L.A. County prosecutors because L.A. County prosecutors want to bring him to Southern California. But the New York court judge Kenneth Case ruled that L.A. County authorities, could claim custody of Weinstein, setting the stage for a second trial focused on the alleged
Starting point is 00:07:05 pattern of sexually abusing actresses and models he held sway over in Hollywood. I mean, the guy's been really sick, and I know we want to kick him, but the horse is already down. The horse is almost dead. We're just going to continue to kick him. Yeah, that's what we're going to do, Jeff. Oh, okay. No problem.
Starting point is 00:07:28 apparently needed injections and cardiac surgery or cataract surgery, not cardiac surgery, although I think he's had cardiac surgery as well, cataract surgery to prevent the permanent loss of his eyesight. And he's almost blind, I guess, now. And those surgeries could take up to nine months to complete. So they're talking about the extradition, you know, being not good for his health. So what? It doesn't matter. We're still bringing them to, we're bringing them to California to be tried. And they're still maybe possibly trying to make it so it's virtual. We'll see if that happens.
Starting point is 00:08:11 I don't know. In April, it was revealed that the L.A. County grand jury indicted Weinstein on four counts of forcible rape, four counts of forcible oral copulation, two counts of sexual battery, and one count of sexual penetration by force. Okay. Now, the indictment allows prosecutors to avoid the need to hold a preliminary hearing in L.A. as was meant to preempt the potentially speedy trial issues in the Weinstein case. Oh, okay. Now, all five women accusing Weinstein of assault testified at the hearing, according to the officials who, you know, spoke on condition of anonymity. Oh, okay. No place. Because the transcript for the hearings still remain understimity. seal. Why are you kidding me? Okay, no problem. Lauren Young, the only accuser whose identity has been made public in the Los Angeles case, has alleged Weinstein lured her into his room after meeting at the montage hotel in Beverly Hills in 2013, where the mogul allegedly grabbed her breast
Starting point is 00:09:22 and pleasureed himself before she fled. Now, she testified in, the Weinstein case in Manhattan as part of the prior bad acts witness. Oh, okay. All right, no problem. The second accuser in the Los Angeles case is an Italian model who previously told the times that Weinstein had attacked her inside Mr. C Hotel in Beverly Hills in 2013. And her identity has not been made public, but the assault when reported to the Los Angeles Police Department, department in 2017, sparked the investigation that led to the filings of charges earlier last year, which would be 2020.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Wow. I mean, they just want to kick this guy down. Now, I know he's a bad guy. I know we've got a premise of for that. And I know that, you know, he's, I think, had more than 80 now women accuse him of sexual abuse in, you know, the United States and Europe. Some of these are a little, okay, so this particular girl, Lauren Young lady, so he grabbed her breast and pleasureed himself, and then she fled.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Okay. So, you know, I know, I know, I never mind, I'm not going to get into it again. We've covered Harvey for a long time, and he's a bad guy. And I hope they kick him when he's down. I want him. That's it. I mean, the guy is sick. He's in prison.
Starting point is 00:11:08 He's not, you've given him a life sentence. It was only for 23 years, Jeff. Okay. All right. It was only for 23 years. You got me. The guy is 69 now. He's not going to make it.
Starting point is 00:11:21 That's a life sentence for him. But it doesn't matter. We want to drag him out to L.A. and we want to put him on trial again. All right. All right, let's go. Let's kick him while he's down. Good news coming from Victoria's Secret,
Starting point is 00:11:39 or some of you might not think it's good news, but my gosh, it is. Oh, man. They are finally saying goodbye to the angels, and you know how we hate those Victoria's Secret Angels. Wow. I'm so sick of seeing those women out there running around up and down that runway with those,
Starting point is 00:11:57 Kimpy Victoria's Secret stuff on and their angel wings. Well, they're going to be replaced with a new group of women icons, including soccer star Megan Arapano. Is it Rapino? Rapino?
Starting point is 00:12:12 We'll just go with Rapino. In what the brand is calling the VS Collective. Oh, good. Good, good, good. It's a start of a major overhaul. Oh, yes. It's trying to
Starting point is 00:12:27 redefine itself and it's going to turn into one of the biggest brand turnarounds in recent memory. Is it going to be a turnaround is my question? I guess. I mean, they're certainly hoping it is. When the world was changing, we were too
Starting point is 00:12:43 slow to respond, as said Martin Waters, Victoria's Secret new CEO. We needed to stop being about what men want and to be about what women want. All right. Thank you, CEO, Martin Waters.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Now, Megan said Victoria Secrets was previously patriarchal sexist, viewing not just what it meant to be sexy, but what the clothes were trying to accomplish through a male lens and through what men desired. But she's been convinced it wants to change. So it's going to expand in the coming months, and they're going to be adding other female stars that will advise the brand, develop products and appear in ads.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Plus, there's probably going to be a podcast in there, which will be great. And according to this, the fashion show will return in a new form in 2022. I seriously can't wait for that. I'm already programming to record that. As the brand overhauls, it's marketing. it also plans to lighten up stores. Add new mannequins in several sizes and start selling nursing and post mastectomy bras. Victoria Secrets will become its own public company this summer
Starting point is 00:14:08 and has a whole new executive team and is forming a mostly female board. Oh, that's going to be so good. With all these changes, you know, they for sure were remembered peddling the old Jessica a rabbit curves to the world, but it wants to eventually be the world's biggest and best advocate for women. The question is, the real question is, will customers buy it? Well, if you don't, if you don't buy it, you're the hater. Okay? You're the hater. I mean, we have Rihanna's, Rihanna's new Savage Exfente leggings that everybody wound up. We talked a little bit about it today. uh on the glenbeck radio program as pat and i filled in for glen and stew uh i keep forgetting
Starting point is 00:14:59 that i'm actually sitting in for stew and not glen but hey that's just me so she has a new savage ex fenty leggings which also you know just to the side note are crotchless and so that's good right the soft mesh open back crotchless leggings only 4995 for from Savage Exfente. Yes, it's the new lingerie and loungeware line from Rihanna. Well, that's good. I love the description. With strappy lace, trim, criss-crossing over the butt crack for a playful surprise.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Yeah, that's a playful surprise, all right. We're supposed to be in love with it. Now, this is not what we're supposed to be getting from Victoria's Secret. What we're getting from Victoria Secrets is more like the Lizzo bikini body sexy swimsuit wear stuff from Lizzo. And that's the kind of stuff I guess we're supposed to get from Victoria's Secret now. But not from Rihanna's butt-bearing, playful surprise, Savage Ex-Vente leggings. And it goes up to 3X. I was looking at the website.
Starting point is 00:16:26 And the 3X model is more along the Lizzo lines. So... That's annoying. What? You're a muffler. You don't hear it? Oh, I don't even notice it. I usually drown it out with the radio.
Starting point is 00:16:41 How's this? Oh, yeah. Way better. Save on insurance by switching to Bell Air Direct and use the money to fix your car. Bell Air Direct, insurance, simplified. Conditions apply. Beautiful is the word I was looking for and couldn't think of. and I just thought of it beautiful.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Hey, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Talking about all this beauty has made me thirsty for real. Oh, man. So good. I know I'm supposed to just drink water because that was an ice cold Coca-Cola Zero. I am a fan of Coca-Cola Zero. I know that Ronaldo is not a fan of Coca-Cola.
Starting point is 00:17:29 or Coca-Cola Zero. He got into a big row. Well, I mean, they made it into a big row. When he showed up for the Euro 2020 press conference, and he sat down. He was speaking at a press conference before the Portugal game against Hungary on Monday. And when he sat down, there were two Coke bottles in front of him in front of the seat. And he slid him off to the side and then, you know, showed off his,
Starting point is 00:17:59 water bottle and it coincided with Coca-Cola that 1.6% drop in share price. So that meant about a $4 billion loss. And that was a coincidence? I don't know. I don't know. We'll see. But they were one of the sponsors of the event. And Ronaldo was one of those guys that is, you know, avoid sugary foods, has a strict diet. It's apparently, you know, he's Mr. six clean meals a day, which, you know, I, I mean, you know me, that's me. I mean, I like to eat, you know, six meals a day.
Starting point is 00:18:43 I don't know if they're clean. But he's Mr. Health, and that's what he does. So he is not big on sugary drinks or sodas of any kind. So they are a spokesperson. for the event said players are offered water alongside Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar on arrival at the press conference. And Coca-Cola responded saying, everyone is entitled to their drink preferences and that everyone has different tastes and needs. Yeah, you don't want to get on Ronaldo's bad side. Just go with it.
Starting point is 00:19:16 The front picture, the straight-ahead shot of Ronaldo in this press conference, would have his bottle of water without Coca-Cola. But there were plenty of pictures, side shots of him at the press desk, where they were taking questions at the press conference, what that had the Coke bottles in the shot. So they still got their sponsorship money. So I'm not sure that the loss of Coca-Cola was anything other than a coincidence. And it most certainly wasn't because Ronaldo is now all woke and hating on Coca-Cola. No way.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Coca-Cola is not going to hate on Ronaldo because Ronaldo is the man. He just is. That guy walks into a country and they hand him $50 million. He's worth right now, I think they said half a billion. But I would venture to say that he's probably worth more than that. I mean, the guy is 36 years old now and he is a monster star. So it's going to be really tough for Coca-Cola to be hating on Ronaldo. I'll tell you that.
Starting point is 00:20:21 And he didn't say anything bad about Coca-Cola. He just slid him off to the side and held up his water bottle. So tough to make a fight with that. Speaking of sports superstars, did you see Tom Brady's Instagram post his Instagram video? He's back working out. He looks great. And yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:20:43 I said it. He looks great. And he posted a video on his Instagram account promoting his TB12 brand electrolytes. And then he tosses a football. He takes a big drink of the TB12 Electrolikes. And then he turns around, gives the camera a little Tom Brady smile, turns around, picks up a football, and tosses it toward the moon. He's on a beach.
Starting point is 00:21:07 And you see the moon up where you normally would see the moon up in the sky. And he tosses the football up into the air toward the moon. And the video takes the football all the way to the moon and explodes the moon. Yeah, that's awesome. I mean, it makes you want to drink the TB12 electrolytes for sure. If that's going to make, you know, me be able to throw the football to the moon and have it hit the moon and explode. Well, it doesn't really hit the explode the moon.
Starting point is 00:21:41 It just creates a big dust plume because it hit the moon so hard. He's 43 now, still playing in the NFL. Apparently, he just had another knee surgery, too. I mean, it's the, you know, they're quick and easy. Most knee surgeries, I've been through a bunch of them. I've been through a replacement surgery and I've been through a bunch of the, uh, the one, three prongs and you're in and out. You have the scraper, the sucker and the, the cleaner. That's just the way it works. A little orthoscopic surgery. I never heard anybody. You're in, you're out. Three prongs. It's good to go. However, this knee surgery, apparently,
Starting point is 00:22:23 was a little bit more serious than that with just the quick little orthoscopic. So we'll see. And they're saying they don't know if they're going to be fined, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that is, because they're supposed to list that. If there's an injury that would qualify as a significant or noteworthy injury, it's supposed to be on the injury list. And I don't think Tom Brady's knee was on the injury list. But, you know, so be it.
Starting point is 00:22:50 And, you know, okay, we're going to stick with sports. We've got Charles Barkley. And it kind of ties into what was going on with Victoria's Secret and Rihanna and Lizzo and how we're supposed to see women now. Charles joked for a long time about the big old San Antonio women. Right? It was one of Charles Barkley's jokes. He's been joking about it for, I don't know, 15, 16, 17 years.
Starting point is 00:23:17 He's talked about it. Well, he's said now that they've told him, cannot talk about San Antonio and they're big old women anymore. Apparently, one lady wrote an article and now, you know, the cancel culture, the outrage culture is all about it. So he can't talk about the big old woman of San Antonio. He's, uh, and he talked about, uh, what they told him on a particular podcast. The, uh, it was, uh, tweeted out from viral sports at NC top 10.
Starting point is 00:23:52 plays. And so he talked about this with Grant and Denny Live. I mean, who doesn't listen to Grant and Denny Live? If you crack a joke the wrong way, they're like, oh, no, no, no, no, you crossed the line. You know, what I'm always talking about them big old women down in San Antonio? We're like, Charles, we got one lady wrote this one lady wrote this article. I'm like, so y'all farmed this for probably 10, 15 years. And he goes on to say that he doesn't have to go back there anymore because the team isn't really that good anymore. I believe he said the team sucks now. But anyway, he's being forced to, you know, be quiet and not make those jokes anymore
Starting point is 00:25:00 because of one person. Now, he said, look, I'm 58 years old and he's not too worried. I plan on retiring a couple of years. So, you know, I'll get over it. And so will they. But he said, he went out and say, I'm only working until 60. I've already told him that. I'm not working until the day I die
Starting point is 00:25:18 that's stupid. And if I don't have enough money by now, I'm an idiot anyway, so they should fire me anyway. I mean, that's the way Charles feels. But he's still being quit, they consider it fat shaming stick. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Is it? Is it? Because he's already joked around about going to San Antonio and eating and having fun with the big old women. It's just, we're in a we're in a different different place in america now one of the things that we are in though is good times in fort worth texas coming at the end of july i may have to be a part of this event

Starting point is 00:27:34 but you know we do find something to do with them yeah I know don't look at me like that don't do it For you Bob Dylan fans, I know, dry your eyes. He's going to make his return to live performance after the pandemic forced an extended time out in his usual, robust and never-ending touring schedule. He announced that he's going to offer his first streaming performance under the title Shadow Kingdom. July 18th, it's being characterized as his first streaming performance. such special in nearly 30 years. I know he did the MTV Unplugged concert in 1994.
Starting point is 00:28:33 That's the last time he's done any kind of broadcast special. So that's exciting news, right? The webcast is happening on VEPS, and tickets are already on sale. The cost flat 25 bucks. That's not bad. Usually for a streaming concert, you know, it's a pretty good price. Pretty good price for that. Now, there's going to be, you know, there's no,
Starting point is 00:28:57 I don't know what all kinds of other stuff you're going to be able to buy or whatever you're going to do, but the performance is beginning at 2 p.m. on July 18th. You can re-watch it. You can, you know, I guess you can purchase it. And you can re-watch it. You can purchase it two and a half days after.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Okay, so you can re-watch it or purchase for the first time for two and a half days after that. I got you. Okay. So you'll be able to watch it live and then watch it again for two and a half days after that. And who doesn't want to do that after the first time around? You're going to want to watch it time and time again.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Dylan just turned 80. Bob Dylan, 80 years old. Oh, my gosh. Just incredible. So he was on the road a bunch. And I've saw Dylan live a long, many years. ago. And, you know, it was a good show. It was Bob Dylan. Dylan was Dylan. I don't know that I would spend 25 to see him stream a show, but maybe might be kind of worth it. It might be fun to see Bob
Starting point is 00:30:04 streaming. I know that, you know, it might be fun to be in a show like that, but he's new, new, new, new, we're not going to be around people, but you can still stream it. We're going to stream you a show, okay. Because I know that, you know, Morgan Stanley's top boss, you know, we talked a little bit about how the businesses in San Francisco, Twitter and Facebook, and there was another business
Starting point is 00:30:29 too that was saying, if you want to continue to get the big bucks, you got to live in the city because they were figuring that they were paying people extra money because they were living in San Francisco. And now with the pandemic, they were living outside of the city.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Oh, I think it was Pinterest. Pinterest was also saying that if you want the extra money, you better be living in the city. Well, Morgan Stanley is now saying, yeah,
Starting point is 00:30:56 if you want NYC money, you've got to be in NYC. And they want people back in the office. They've said, you come back to the office by Labor Day or face a pay cut. Okay. I mean,
Starting point is 00:31:09 they're saying, look, we do our work inside. That's where we teach. That's where our interns learn. It's how we develop people. Okay. I mean, we did all this virtually, and I don't want to do it anymore. And the James Gorman, the chief executive for Morgan Stanley, said, look, if you can go into a restaurant in New York City, you can come to the office.
Starting point is 00:31:32 All right. Now, they've permitted 70,000 employees to work from home. 70% of the Big Apple adults have been vaccinated and an infection rate that's not even half a percent now. So it's time for work. workers to get off their couches and back to their desks. Yeah, America's had it. I think that, I know Gorman is speaking for a lot of people. We need to get back.
Starting point is 00:32:01 We need to get back to work. No question. Now, he said, look, if you want a New York City salary, you'll have to be in the five boroughs to earn it. Get no frills delivered. Shop the same in-store prices online and enjoy unleashed. limited delivery with PC Express Pass. Get your first year for $250 a month.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Learn more at pceexpress.ca.ca. All right. I guess, you know, I don't know. Look, I worked in the city for, I don't know how long we worked in the city, but I didn't live in the five boroughs. I lived in Pennsylvania, and for a few months I lived in New Jersey right next to, right next to the borough of Manhattan, but I didn't live in the boroughs. so I mean maybe I would have that fight with Gorman myself and say dude that's what I would say to the chief executive Morgan Stanley dude I don't live in the five boroughs but I travel in and out of the five boroughs every freaking day so I wanted NYC money okay and we would have that that argument now he might get mad at me and say I'm not your dude but he's just a representing quite a few companies now that want to get back to it.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Let's go. We've had enough. We'll see how it turns out. We have a tremendous administration in Washington, D.C. right now, getting this country back up and running and proud to be red, white, and blue America. Right? Right. I mean, holy cow.
Starting point is 00:33:42 I mean, we talked about it at length on Gledbeck's Radio. program, Pat and I did the show for him, and we recap the Biden-Pooten summit. So if you want to hear about that and know about that, listen to the podcast of the Glenbeck radio show today. Pat and I go over it. But it's really disheartening. And President Biden did not do himself or this country any favors throughout his whole G7 trip and his summit with Vladimir Putin. It just, Just as far as I'm concerned, he didn't do anybody any justice for that, except for them, except for the European countries and Vladimir Putin. I don't know how it's going to be reported overall in the overall, well, yes, I do.
Starting point is 00:34:32 It's not going to be reported that way. But I try to stay away from that kind of stuff as much as I can on this show, because I know I just want you to have some fun and hear some fun stories and just, you know, kind of, I don't know, smile a little bit from, time to time. But it's tough because so much of the political arena gets involved in our everyday life now. It's just amazing. Like we have the story of the homeowner who could be facing $500 a day fine because she has these Trump signs, pro Trump signs and anti-Biden signs on her fence. One is, don't blame me, I voted for Trump. Joe Biden sucks. And then there's a few that have some expletives on the banners that she has hanging on her fence.
Starting point is 00:35:30 But she says, look, I've got a right to put them up there, freedom of speech. The Roselle Park people are saying, oh, yeah, no, this is a New Jersey town. And we don't want that. We're going to have to start finding you. how about $500 a day? How about that? And I'm sure that she'll point to her one sign that says F Biden.
Starting point is 00:35:54 And another one says F Biden, not my president. So, their fight on this, though, neighbors are upset because her home is near an elementary school and the students are exposed to the profane messages. This is terrible.
Starting point is 00:36:12 I mean, kids go by here. It's a family neighborhood. Why? Oh, are these the same kids that are going to school and learning about critical race theory and learning about masturbation and learning about how bad white people are? Those same kids, you're worried about? I was just checking. I was just checking.
Starting point is 00:36:33 We'll see how long this lasts. This is a fight that I'm pretty sure this homeowner is going to lose because nobody wants to spend, you know, $500 a day unless she gets a big go-fund me and people, send her a bunch of money to pay the fines. And that would be great. That's what she should do is set up a go fund me and just let people fund her. When she runs out of money,
Starting point is 00:36:56 then she quits paying the fine and she keeps the banners up until they come and take them down or she takes them down and rolls them out every 4th of July. Don't ban me. I voted for Trump. Socialism
Starting point is 00:37:13 sucks. Biden. sucks. F Biden, not my president. Yeah, she's not going to win that battle. Another battle that's going on in Arizona, they've got the election audit going on. Apparently, I guess they've hit the hand
Starting point is 00:37:33 recount milestone. They've counted them all. They haven't given us the exact count yet. But I saw where the one Arizona state senator, she was not happy with Attorney General Merrick Garland and Senator, State Senators Wendy Rogers, she issued a warning to Attorney General Merrick Garland to stay out of Arizona's audit of the 2020 presidential election. Oh, really? Yeah. You stay out of Arizona's audit of the 2020 presidential election or else he will go to jail. You will not touch Arizona ballots or machines unless you want to spend time in an Arizona prison. maybe you should just focus on stopping terrorism.
Starting point is 00:38:20 The Justice Department is one of the most corrupt institutions in the USA. All right. Merrick, what was that you said that you wanted the Justice Department to scrutinize any post-election audits for evidence of voting law violations? Yeah, I would say that would be a fun battle if he tried to dip his hands or his toes or whatever you're going to dip into the Arizona recount. You might want to stay away. People in Arizona don't want you around.
Starting point is 00:38:52 If you're looking for something to do this weekend and you're in Jersey or close to Jersey at the Sunray Beach on the Delaware Bay, maybe you go there for a little bit of fun. It's that time of year again for the horseshoe crabs to gather on the beach and have their wild sex romps that involve as many as 13.
Starting point is 00:39:24 teen males piling onto a female crab to fertilize her eggs. I know. I guess the annual orgy, which has been going on for millions of years. So these horseshoe crabs have been around for 400 million years. I don't know if they've all showed up at the Sunray Beach on Delaware Bay for 400 million years. But I guess horseshoe crabs, are they even real crabs? Okay. You know, we'll call them.
Starting point is 00:39:53 I guess we'll leave that alone. But they come ashore and the females lay their eggs and they have to have some water. They come ashore under the, you know, full moon to begin their horseshoe crab bidness. And then while they're doing that and they're digging up a nest to moving their legs, female horseshoe crabs lay in a single sitting as many as 4,000 tiny tiny. green eggs between 12,000 and 24,000 in a spawning cycle. That's some serious business. Now, no kidding.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Every nest has up to about 13 or 14 potential fathers. That's some serious horseshoe crab business going on right there. And they say, you know, spectators are always showing up, trying to catch a glimpse of the giant crab orgy. Nothing but crab bidness going on. And I don't know. I'm not a big fan of putting together crabs and bidness. If you've ever, and I'm not talking about horseshoe crabs,
Starting point is 00:41:07 but I'm talking about things that kind of look like horseshoe crabs, if you know what I'm saying. You have those crabs, and then you have bidness and put them together, and it's not good. It's not fun. So you have to go, purchase some of this. I think it's called A. Pyrinate
Starting point is 00:41:27 13 or something like that. What the heck is it called? I thought it was maybe A. Pyrinate 300 or something like that, but I was looking at it's rid has this lice-killing shampoo that gets rid of the crab lice. Anyway, I don't know why the heck I'm talking about this nasty business.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Oh yeah, the horseshoe crabs. So go to the beach there in New Jersey and look at the horseshoe crab business going on. There's plenty of, there's plenty of horse shoe crap business going on at the Sunray Beach on Delaware Bay. But according to this headline on Reddit, I was going through this thread on Reddit, and I was reading these different headlines. And the one headline that caught my attention was a study conducted between 2007 and
Starting point is 00:42:13 2017 found that young adults are having less casual sex, mainly because they're drinking less, but also because of an increase in gaming and more of them having to live with their parents. So apparently, gaming and living with your parents puts a little nix on the business time for young adults. Interesting. Then I was going through these headlines, something more fascinating. They talk about, in 1986, an astronomer trying to trace a 75-cent computer time discrepancy for 10 months, eventually found a German hacker selling defense secrets to the KGB.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Okay? During World War II, an American lieutenant realizing his position was inundated with enemy troops, called in an artillery barrage on himself. Following a U.S. counterattack later that day, the lieutenant's body was found alongside approximately 100 German soldiers. His name was John R. Fox. That man is a hero. Thank you, John R. Fox. April Fool's Day prank in 1980 by the BBC, who reported that Big Ben was going to change to a digital clock. Some people were so shocked by the announcement that they phoned in to complain,
Starting point is 00:43:37 We believe you. We believe you. Nick Cage once crashed at Nick Cage Film Festival, watched four of his own films, did a 47-minute Q&A, and read a 10-minute short story. And that's special. And that's special. And in 1948, the Nobel Committee did not award the Nobel Peace Prize on the grounds that there was no suitable living candidate.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Implying that Mahatma Gandhi would have received it if it were not for his assassination earlier that year. Well, why don't they just give it to him anyway? I know that there's no suitable living candidate. but if you're not going to give it out, then maybe you just, you know, special dispensation to Mahatma and you put an asterisk next to his name and saying, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:30 we're going to do this posthumously and he deserved it. And gosh darn it, because he was assassinated and this was his year, Mahatma, you get the Nobel Peace Prize. That's kind of chintzy. That's kind of a chinty way to get out of it, I think.
Starting point is 00:44:45 But, you know, maybe that's just me. And one more in the headline thread here on Reddit for the day that could be coming to a country near you very soon. You know, that country is, well, if you live in the United States. It may be a country near you right now. In 1988, the population of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, was so unsatisfied with his politicians during the election that a well-known local monkey from a zoo received. over 400,000 votes. And that's special. Now, the monkey became popular because of his temperament.
Starting point is 00:45:30 He was always in a bad mood. And he had a habit of throwing mud and feces on the visitors of the zoo. So they'd rather vote for him than anyone else that was running for office. That's great. Now, the monkey's name was M-A-C-O-E-O. Tiao. A.O. Mekako Tiao was a chimpanzee of the Rio de Janeiro zoological garden who was very popular with
Starting point is 00:45:58 children and visitors. He was so popular, they have a monument to him in Rio de Janeiro at the zoo. If you are in Rio de Janeiro, I would love to have you tag chewing the fat with a picture from the monument of this chimpanzee. he is it man the reason he was a there was such a hero is because he was throwing mud
Starting point is 00:46:24 and feces especially at you know politicians but even regular people who would just throw mud and poop on him we need a tagged picture from the monument of this chimpanzee in Rio de Janeiro so you can tag me on Twitter
Starting point is 00:46:38 at Jeffrey JFR tag me on Instagram or Facebook Jeff Fisher Radio you could maybe try to find a way to tag me on parlor if it still exists at Jeff Fisher Radio or you can email me at Chewing the
Starting point is 00:46:49 fat at the blaze.com but for sure if you're in rio de Janeiro and listening to chewing the fat got to go to the zoo and tag me with a picture of what's that monkey's name again macaaco tiao yeah that's what i said mecaco tiao
