When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss?

Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous for less. There is nothing like going to the Jersey Shore in the summertime. So if you're wandering along the Jersey Shore beaches and you say, hey, what did I just step on that hurt? Yeah, it was just a syringe. Don't worry about it.

Hundreds of needles are washing up on shore from Sandy Hook to Long Branch and people are working furiously to pick them up and warn people. hey, be careful even when you go out into the water. Watch yourself walking along the beach there. Those are just syringes. So apparently, when the storm went through, remember we saw there were hundreds of videos of the subway tunnels getting flooded and streets being flooded in New York

and all along the northeast. Yeah, well, all the sewage systems overflowed and that just washed out all the syringes into the water. That's it though. Remember when they were picking up syringes along the beaches a couple of years ago and they blamed it on people that had diabetes and they said, oh, that was just from the diabetics who flushed everything down the toilet. Uh-huh.

I have actually lived with people who are diabetics and who have been diabetics, and they use syringes multiple times a day, and they never flush them down the toilet. So there's that. But they're not saying that this time. They're just saying, yeah, it came from the sewers. You know, all the junkies and everybody and those damn diabetics are throwing the syringes into the sewer system and now there's flooding and wouldn't you know it's washing up

on the beach oh man man does it make me want to go to the jersey shore this summer but if you are out there watch where you step welcome welcome to chewing the fat okay now we're getting into some news that i am i don't know that I like. Apparently, Coca-Cola is giving Coke Zero a makeover again! So, for those of us that are fans of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Coke is changing it again. It said that it's tweaking the beverage in an effort to make the drink taste more like regular Coke. The products can will also look different, all red rather than red and black.

The move comes as Coca-Cola focuses its resources on its trademark products, including Coke, Coke Zero Sugar, and Diet Coke, after discontinuing some of their struggling brands. And the company hopes that the updated version of Coke Zero Sugar will attract more customers. Good luck, because you screwed with it a few years ago, and in the beginning, it was a difficult change, but the change happened, and it was worth the change. I hope this is too. Although I just don't see it.

I mean, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar is pretty successful for them. I know that it's a smaller percentage of the Coke brand. So, you know, they want to, they have to tweak it a little bit. So you'll have Coke and Diet Coke. But I guess the improved recipe, according to Coca-Cola, brings its taste even closer to Coca-Cola. I don't know. That's a good thing.

I mean, I liked Coca-Cola, but not really, I guess. But Coca-Cola Zero, you know, I am a huge fan of. I'm sorry, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. Now, the international markets have already been updated, and this change is coming this month. If you're listening live, it's the 14th of July, 2021. So during this month, the change is going to be happening. around America.

I know. So I guess here in the United States and Canada, the old and new versions are using the same ingredients, aspartame and acetyl flame, K, to sweeten the product. Okay. Now, I know they use different sweeteners

in other markets throughout the world, but I don't know what they're changing or what they're adding to make things better for Coca-Cola zero-sugar. But they're confident. They're confident that people will love the new product. We pre-tested both the new recipe and the new look

with current Coca-Cola zero-sugar consumers and non-consumers. Well, did you? Rafael Prandini? Because I never, I'm a huge Coca-Cola zero drinker. and I didn't even know this was happening, so you didn't let people know. So we'll see if that's actually true. But according to Rafael Prandini,

they really love it. The results the company has seen from these launches are very encouraging, are they? I mean, Coke Zero launched in 2005, and then they tweaked it in 2017, and they rebranded it with the name. It was Coke Zero in 2005. and then they change it to Coca-Cola zero sugar.

So now we're changing it again, and I don't know what they're doing, but right now, Coca-Cola zero-sugar is like 8% of the Coca-Cola entire volume. So that's pretty good. I mean, it started off a lot smaller than that, and it didn't get the axe when Coca-Cola was going down the list

to get rid of the ones of the non-performers. So anyway, be ready for that if you're a Coca-Cola zero sugar drinker. And it is a little disheartening. I hope it works and I hope it's just as good. But, man, sometimes, sometimes it's best not to mess with things that are already working. So I was looking where it said United Airlines CEO says travel, fully recover until 2023 as

business demand lags. But this is the summertime and people are starting to travel. I was looking at the TSA numbers. We look at them last week and they're starting to climb considerably. I mean, as of yesterday,

713, 2021, they had 1,832,878 through the turnstile. So people are starting to go on vacation. Maybe things aren't going to get back to normal when they keep showing videos of people flying while they're duct taped to their seat. Maybe we'll get travel back to normal when they allow people to get on the planes that are wearing shorts that they claim are too short. Maybe we ought to just calm down on the power that we've given the flight attendance over the

past year. But what do I know? Now, there are people going on vacation. And one of them just got back from a vacation to the... Did you just went on vacation? No, you went on vacation. You just got back from the great state of Alaska. The country of Alaska. That's a state. It's a country. It is more of a country than a state. The state of Alaska. The country of Alaska that is a tax. It's a attached to Canada. That's actually, well, it's part of the United States of America. I don't know what you're talking. But I want to rewind a little.

First of all, welcome to Chris Cruz. Oh, thank you. Thank you. You know, we'll discuss other things later at another time. Right now I want to talk to you about a trip to the state of Alaska. So I want to tie this into your last story about American Airlines being duct tape because that's fascinating. That's amazing.

I love what they did to her. I have a mask that's made by Haynes, the underwear company. Okay. And it's white. And with Sharpie in one side, I put, I haven't washed this since COVID started. And then on the other side. Is that true? Yes.

Okay. And on the other side, because I'm scared of the Sharpie to go away. So that's why I haven't watched it. But on the other side. I don't know if you know this or not. this is just a, you know, a side note. You could re... No, because once you...

No, once you're done, like, that's it. That's not really true, but... And this is not, you know, I'm not sponsored by Haynes, and I do not have, like, 20 cases of them in my garage. But on the other side, it's the fun side that says,

masks are dumb. And that's the one that, like, I like... The other one is way too many words and people can't read it. And... Because you're going by too fast. Yes.

So as I'm walking into the... plane to boarding from Houston to Alaska. Okay, so you fly direct. No, I did not fly direct. I took the cheap route and had four layovers. Dude, what are you doing?

What do you mean? What am I doing? Tell me you what? Oh my gosh. Do you want me to tell you my stops? Did you fly? Yes. And I don't know. Did you fly Bill's air? No, I flow delta. That's kind of big time for you. It is big time for me.

me. I usually find Jet blue. But you flew at the back. Oh, yes. I was in the butt of the plane. Okay. I was. So. Don't make me. He was a little worried there for a second. Um, so as I'm walking in, the first aircraft that goes from Houston to Utah, we get there. Houston to Salt Lake. Yeah, Salt Lake. Yeah. South Lake. And it's full of pilots. I don't know why in the words full of pilots. Salt Lake or the plane? The plane. Okay. The plane. The plane is. It's like pilot, right? I'm walking the one that says Max or Dumb, two pilots, two Delta pilots. Ain't that right.

Thank you. Ain't that right? I'm like, yes. See, now that goes back to what I was just saying. We've given the flight attendants a whole bunch of power. Fisher. We're going to pause in Salt Lake for a second. Now, I know for a fact, I have a relative who's a flight attendant, and I know the power that's been giving.

given to him. Didn't he almost die? Yeah. Hydroxylorchloroquine saved his life, man. Absolutely. I mean, didn't that person died? Sorry, I didn't want to gender him. I mean, it.

No, no, he almost died. Okay. Yeah, he almost died. It almost died? Yes. Okay. Yes. They, them.

Them. Almost died. And that's the person who hydroxychloroquine saved his life. I remember you telling me about that. But I know the power that the flight attendants. Dude, it is so annoying. And the pilots have to kind of go along with it. The pilots only go along with it.

And the reason why I get really pissed at the pilots is because I know for a fact, Vya Fisher. And if you're a pilot, you listen to this podcast and you say, no, it's not true. Shut up. You take those damn mask off as soon as that door closes. Oh, 100%. If you don't. They've all been vaccinated.

And if you don't take off the mask, you're an idiot. Thank you. You're an idiot. That's stereo idiot. Who is, who is really, and you know how I know, you know how I know you're not wearing a mask. Because your voice sounds as clear as mine right now. Really? Yes.

Huh. It doesn't, oh, maybe they're taking it down just for the announcement. A double idiot. If you're, if you're doing that, you're a double idiot. Anyways. So you're in Salt Lake. I'm in Salt Lake. I loved it.

It was awesome. It was awesome. How long did you spend at their new, their new airport there is 15 minutes. Really beautiful. Yeah, the airport's pretty though. Did you get off the plane? I got off the plane and ran from B to A. Ooh.

Yeah, because they parked in the wrong area. So we had a- Isn't that funny how that happens? That is hilarious. Yeah, I noticed that they do- Paging Cruz family of four. Paging Cruz family of four. I don't believe that that's by accident.

Absolutely not. That is so because they've got those other planes over. Yep, racist. It's racist. It's racist. I didn't think about it. Yep. They made the brown man run from Corrido B

to quarter A. Anyways, so from Salt Lake, we go to the state of Oregon. Okay. So you're at your way to the... I'm almost there. Oh, Portland. Right, Portland?

Yeah. Ooh, they are freaks, bro. You Portland have... You could keep the phrase... Did you spend any time there? Uh, with... They're for two hours. Oh, well, that's...

Let's get to know the place. Oh, dude. Freaks left them right. There were some non-binary, there were some binary, there were some, it was awesome to see. Portland, you're weird, loved it. Then from Portland, we go to Alaska. So that's not bad. That's not bad, no.

Hey, $400 to get me. Did you have to get off in Portland? I did have to get off in Salt Lake and Portland. Yeah, I had to get off in MOLA. I had to go. Yes, so from that one, I had to go from B7 to 812, which is the last gate. Yeah, but they usually have a cart at those big airports. Saul Lake had a car

Salt Lake had a car. They took me in the tunnel because I had to take a tunnel from quarter to get to another hangar. To get another, yeah. So they had to give me a car. So they gave me a car. The other one, it wasn't that bad because we had two hours.

But they lost my stroller. I checked it at the gate. Do we know where it ended up? So I did not get it back until my way back. Yeah. So I went on my way back from Alaska to Houston. Did they get it?

it back to you before you got home? They get, so I went back and then I was like, hey, like I leave in about two hours. Did you guys get my red monster stroller? They're like, let me check. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We called you twice. You didn't pick up your phone.

What number did you call? Because like, I picked every unknown call I picked. So don't give me that. Don't, don't, don't, don't give me that. Did you? And on the way there, it was nice and fun. You know, we spent 11 days in Alaska, 11 days to the great country of Alaska. It was amazing fish.

I drank out of a glacier. I went to a mine, gold mine, freaking awesome. I found no gold mine before. I've been to a gold mine before. Then I went to the fishing town now. Yeah, I don't know about you, but I've fished before. I've fished before. The fishing town of Whittier or Whittier.

I call it wide year. It's wide year, yeah. That's why they kicked you on. It's a town that you have to pay a toll road. Fine, $13, okay, for the toll road. These other countries, man, are... This freaking. And they want American money.

Like, dude, take some Doche coin. Like, I got plenty of that. Then I take this toll road. The problem with the toll road fisher, the toll road is a one-way train through a mountain. Okay? That's not a toll road. That's a tall track. That's a tall track.

And... Are you taking... Do you have an automobile going on this? Yes. And it only opens. Okay, so you want to go from Anchorage to Whittier. So the tracks are in the road. The tracks are in the road.

Yeah, okay. If you want to go from Anchorage to Whittier, you pay- Absolutely, okay? You have to wait for the top of the hour. Okay, because that's where the trains are. That's when you go in. The bottom of the hour is when you get to leave Whittier to Anchorage.

We did not know that. We spent 20 minutes waiting for the stupid lane to open because there's a one way. So not only you're fighting train, You're fighting the other traffic. And the train has the right away, too. I mean, I'm sure the train has the right away. Sure.

So whenever. Like, who's sending the train to Whittier? I don't know, but if the train is coming, the train gets the right away. I was there for six hours. The train never came. Wow. Anyways. So we get there.

And oh my goodness. It is every small town movie about a guy in a fishing town that that finds the girl. It was... From another country. From another country. It was beautiful. All it was missing was the beluga whales. Were there?

Did you miss them? We missed the... We were... The belugas come out at the quarter hour. We were two weeks early from the beluga whales. Quarter hour. They only come out at 15 and 45. Yes, exactly.

So we were there two weeks early from the beluga whales. So they do... They are there. They are there. They just don't migrate until the end of July, beginning of August. which is like catch the beluga I would love to

I did tell a fellow co-worker that it came this close to losing me to Whittier because I was there we were ordering our fish which is like $50 a plate

because I wanted to fish off the boat didn't you pay a toll to get there I paid a toll to get there so they're charging you to get there yes oh by the way there's no gas station they're dictating when you can get there

and when you can leave yes and there's no gas station. So for 89 miles... How hell does the train do? For 89 miles, you better have gas to get you there and back. Wow, I mean...

So... Why wouldn't you? Because it's Alaska. I know, but there's got to be a sign in Anchorage that says last stop before no gas. Oh, it did say that. And by the way, Alaska, and I'm going to talk to the senator of Alaska

that is running, like the dad left her seat at 2002, and she's being the senator of Alaska. I think it's like Macy something. Anyways, if you're going to put a sign that says last stop, how about you put it before the gas station, not after the gas station? That's probably a good idea. I'm just saying, last stop, quarter mile. You know, for example, like someone that is not being there ever,

sees last stop for the next 89 miles after past the last station, and how to make a U-turn out of one way. That is ridiculous. That is very ridiculous. Right. So that's the only complaint I have. Most of the time here in this country, the signs are before the last guest or at the last gas station. I kept telling my wife, we're in a different country.

We're going to a different country. I even call all my doctors because of appointments. I was like, hey, I'm going out of country. Do I need to do a COVID test? Like, what is going on? They're like, what country are you going? I'm like the country of Alaska. They're like, no, you're good.

I'm like, oh, oh, cool. Okay. So that country is good and green lit. We have trade regulations with them. We're all good. Good. So I'll end with this story. We're camping. You saw the picture. First of all, I want to stop you to for a second.

You'll end when I say you're going to. I'll end with this story. We went camping the second night. And I saw the pictures. I'd say this. Canada. Oh yeah. Follow me on Instagram.

At real Chris Cruz, K-R-I-S, CRUZ. Go back and look at the great vacation pics. At the country of Alaska. The day we went camping. and it was amazing. Oh, my goodness. Loved it. I love camping.

It's my thing. Oh, man. Me and your wife could go camping all day long. And we're outside. We're cooking. We cook hot dogs. We cook some potatoes. We cook some deer meat, some reindeer meat.

Like, we're cooking. We're cooking a feast, right? Playing cornhole. I'm like, man, this is like legit. I got me some energy drink. We're having fun. See the sun. I'm like, man,

And like, I feel like, let's go. I told my sister, I'm like, yo, let's play some cornhole. She's like, okay, play some cornhole. Wife puts the baby to sleep. I'm like, that's early. Like, what are you? Okay, sure. Put the baby to even better.

We got more fun. Let's have more fun. Let's have more fun. Let's look at bears. Bear almost comes and attacks us and kills us. We had to call the Game Warden. The game warden. The game warden shoots it with paint balls.

The bear doesn't go away. Come to find out that Mama Bear had three cubs that she's trying to protect because we just came in there and decided to camp. Mama Bear is like, no, I'm not camping here. So Bear comes back, try to attack us one more time. We did not move. I plant my flag in this side of this country, you stupid bear. I don't move.

I'm an American. I tell you to move. You don't tell me to move, you foreign bear. I'm a human. I'm a human. I was governed. I was put on top of you. I have thumbs.

Thank you. You stupid oversized raccoon. The bear comes. comes back again, that a shooter with bean bags this time, because they shot it with paintballs. And Bear was like, uh-uh. Abra. Nah, bra. Comes back.

The Baltic was it colored paintballs? Oh, yeah. The bear looked like the freaking rainbow flag, bro. The bear came with pride. He came with no pride, left with pride. That's how good he went. Then he comes back again. Well, they pinball him, well, her.

They shoot away. They kind of forgot that the camp is full because he's four. of July. So they shoot her away to the other side of the campsite where there's more population. Three children were eaten. The bear decides to attack a dog, rampage a campsite, eats the feast from another campsite. They run through the other side. They get on the pickup truck, run to the other side, shoot her with bin bags, bring her back up on this. It was the entire day. It was a back and forth. You would think that other countries. that have experience with bears.

A country that has bear its entire life. Right. Right. And this is why I always say this. Third World countries do not deserve technology. Because if you can't handle a stupid bear, how can I trust you with technology? And I close with this. Like I said, I'm close with this.

I'm like, man, I am not tired. My sister's passing out. I'm like, girl, what? What are you doing? Let's go. It's like, we're cornhole in here. We're cornholing. Like, I'm winning. Let's go. Fisher, it was three o'clock in the morning. And that sun was so high, it felt like it was 12 o'clock in the afternoon. Wow. The one thing, it never went down.

I never saw. All the time you were there? I never saw nighttime until the 12th of July when I landed in Houston and drove home. Wow. Good thing. What are the people safe around you in Houston when it turned dark? I was like, what is this? madness. I really wanted to call your homeboy from the Flatter Society to explain me that. I know. Because I was really confused. So in Whittier, you spent $6 hours. $50 on a fish dinner just for you? Dude, I spent $150 in lunch. That's not bad. A vacation lunch. Okay. Mr. Rich.

All right. Get out. Get out. I've got stuff to get to. Let's get to the break room. Thank you, Chris Cruz. Take care. We'll talk to you again soon. And hopefully it'll be about going to another country, like the great state of Alaska. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink.

An old Coca-Cola zero sugar looking for the new one coming very, very soon. Oh, man. I hope I'm able to say, so good with the new brand. As long as we're in the break room, the other country, as long as we're speaking of other countries, we spoke of the one country, Alaska, that, you know, some people consider that it's a state in the United States, but, you know, some we found out believe it's another country. Also, Hawaii, people believe that is not part of the United States, it's another country. And if you live in that other country, Hawaii, they have a lot of,

lottery that they are going to do to randomly let people, I guess homeland people, have goats for free. So apparently there's a 700 goats roaming this national historic park, and it's the Pahuna Nuwa Al-Hananahua National Park, P-U-U-H-N-U-A-O-H-N-A-U-N-A-U-N-A-U-N-A-U-N-A-U-N-A-U, National Park, and I was trying to see if I could get a way to pronounce it. So there's several ways. If you go down the list, they have give you one English version. Puyahuahua O'Honauu Now National Historic Park.

Sure. And then they gave you the Finnish pronunciation. Sure. And then the Chinese Mandarin pronunciation. Oh no, no national historic park. I like that one. Yes, that particular place is going to go ahead and have a lottery to give these goats to the locals. You're going to get 20 to 50 goats per permit, and it's going to happen at the end of this month, July 2021.

Now, the applicants must indicate how many goats they want, and to keep. can't choose individual animals so you can't say hey you know the two goats living at the back end of who ho no no national historic park yeah that one yeah i want those no you can't do that and you must have a 16 foot enclosed horse trailer or equivalent to pick up the goats so they don't escape and a permit can be refused if a trailer isn't secured. Not sure why you would have a trailer that is enclosed that could carry horses or the equivalent and not have it be secured. But that's the case. If you don't have that, then you can't get the 20 to 50 goats from the who ho no oho now national historic park

All right, let's get to the end. All right, let's talk a little bit of the Emmys. We found out that the Emmys are going to take place September 19th. And it's going to be in front of a live audience. And it's the 73rd annual Emmy Awards. And it's

It's also going to be hosted by Cedric, the Entertainer. So congratulations to Cedric, the entertainer. He's now 57 years of age. He's going, it's the first time. And this may come as a surprise to you. This is the first time that he's hosted the Emmy Awards. And he said in a statement throughout the roller coaster of a year that we have all lived through, television has helped us stay connected as a society like never before.

it not only entertained us, but it has helped us as it always has. It helped open in our eyes, educate us, and hopefully brought about a better understanding of who we are as a people. I cannot wait to take the stage to celebrate all the great shows and performances that made us laugh, cry, dance, and sing over the past year. That was from Cedric the Entertainer. So we have, of course, HBO and Netflix, duking it out. They had, you know, totals between 130 and 129 nominations, and then Disney Plus had 71, NBC with 46. So, I mean, they're all with the streaming wars. And I know Disney Plus, along with ABC, then jumps into the front when you put those all together. So we'll see, you know, how it goes.

But when you get to the outstanding lead actor in a comedy series, Anthony Anderson from Blackish, Michael Douglas from the Kaminsky Method, William H. Macy from Shameless, Jason Siddiquis from Ted Lasso, and Keenan Thompson, Keenan. I mean, those are all excellent choices. Macy and Shameless was awesome.

Michael Douglas in the Kaminsky method was great. I really liked the Kaminsky method, but we'll see if that gets any. any traction. It was nominated for quite a bit. Outstanding lead actress in a comedy series, A.D. Brian and Shrill, Kaylee Coocham with Flight Attendant. It was okay.

You know, I have to go back and watch a little bit more of the flight attendant, watch it again, see if I can see if it was worth what everyone thought it was. It was fine. Allison, Jenny and Mom, Tracy Ellis Rossian Blackish, and Gene Smart and Hacks. She,

Gene Smart, needs to get this. She's awesome. Hacks and she's awesome in the mayor of Easttown with Kate Winslet. Gene Smart has been working this year and she was awesome and Hacks was really, really good. Outstanding Variety Talk series. Conan, the Daily Show, Jimmy Kim alive last week tonight, the late show. Thankfully, Samantha B isn't on that, although I didn't see her name in one of the award categories, so she still got snuck in there.

Outstanding lead actor in a drama series. Sterling K. Brown, this is us, Jonathan Majors in Lovecraft Country, Josh O'Connor, and the Crown. Reyeshan, Joe Page, and Bridgeton, Billy Porter, and Matthew Raisin. Perry Mason, who was awesome in Perry Mason. That was great. That's that Perry Mason, I can't wait for it to come back on that. That was through, what's his face, Jr., Robert Downey Jr., Robert Downey Jr., his company, he and his wife's company, put that together. So, I mean, Perry Mason was great.

That seems like such a long time ago. Outstanding lead actress in a drama series. Uh, Uza Abduba in a treatment. Olivia Coleman, the Crown. She's awesome. Emma Corrin on the Crown. Elizabeth Moss, the Handmaid's Tale.

The Queen's Gambit The Underground Railroad Wanda vision Wow those are all really, really good. Queens Gambit. What a great series. That was so much fun. And I remember we talked about it.

It was so disappointing that Queens Gambit wasn't based on a real story. I love all these other shows that are based on nothing, but just somebody's made-up stories. And the Queens Gambit, I wanted it to be true. But it was really good. Really good. Outstanding Comedy Series, Blackish, Cobra Kai, Emily and Paris, the flight attendant, hacks, the Kaminsky method. I don't get the Kaminsky method as being a comedy series,

but okay, if you want to give it that, you can go ahead and give it. I mean, there's some really funny stuff in the Kaminsky method, but there's also some serious thought and genuine structure to the life of the Kaminsky program. Anyway, if you want to call it a comedy, fine, call it a comedy. Outstanding drama series, The Boys, Amazon Prime, Bridgeton, Netflix, The Crown Netflix, Handmaid's Tale, Hulu, Lovecraft Country, HBO, The Mandalorian, Disney Plus.

Boy, they would love to win that. Posse on FX, and this is us on NBC. Wow, there's so many other shows that should be on that list. Wow. And Handmaid's Tale, I mean, is pretty good, and so is the Crown. And so is Bridget. I mean, they're all really good. It's very tough to make a distinction over that.

Outstanding lead actor in a limited series or movie, Wanda Vision, Paul Bettney, Hugh Grant, the undoing, E. McGregor in Halston, Lynn Manuel Miranda and Hamilton, Leslie Odom Jr. in Hamilton. Both of those were great. Hugh Grant was great in the undoing,

although I will say, I loved the undoing up until the last episode. The ending of the undoing blew. And I wish they would have called me, and we could have done something, anything else, almost anything else they would have done would have been better than how they ended it. I still, I don't understand why they ended it the way they did.

It would have been better if she would have pushed them off the bridge, if she would have shot him if he would have jumped. Anyway, I know it's a spoiler, but it's been out for a long. It's been out long enough now. Go see it, okay? Just know that Chewing the Fats review of the undoing, awesome till the last episode. The way it ended.

And actually, the last episode was fine. until the ending. I don't know why they ended it like that. They could have ended it a three or four different ways that would have been better than the way they ended it. And don't look at me like that in there.

Like you don't know what I'm talking about. But it's true. All right, outstanding lead actress in a limited series. I may destroy you. Michaela Cole, Cynthia Urbio, Genesis, Aretha, Elizabeth Olson, Wanda Vision,

Anna Taylor Joy, the Queen's Gambit. She was great in that. Kate Winslet, Mary of East Town. was great in the mayor of East Town, too. I hope she gets that. I hope Kate wins that. But it'll probably, I mean, I don't know. I don't want to make it. I'll make a prediction. They're probably going to give it to Wanda Vision because it's so extraordinary.

But Anna Taylor Joy in Queens Gambit was awesome. She did a great job. And Kate Winslow was great at Mayor of East Town, too. She deserves it. Those do definitely deserve it. Comedy series, Outstanding Supporting Actor. Hey, hey. Outstanding Supporting Actress.

Eh, eh, eh. Outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. Michael K. Williams' Lovecraft Country. John Lithgow, Perry Mason, who was great. Tobias Menziss in the Crown. O.T. Fabingale, Handmaid's Tale. Bradley Whitfield in The Handmaid's Tale. He is always really good, except he drives me insane.

Because I saw him on an episode of What's His Face? Bill Maher. and he was agonizing, just agonizing. So he's another actor, actress, actor, person, performer that I have to get past their personal beliefs and watch their work and enjoy it. And it takes a little bit of doing, just a little bit of doing. Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama series,
