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. It is summertime, and the plague is back. Sure, there's monkey pox to worry about. Sure, there's West Nile virus to worry about. Sure, there's COVID-19 to worry about.

But it's just the plague that's back. And it's back in Colorado, where it normally shows up in. Now, cases have been confirmed in animals and fleas in six counties in Colorado, including now they're saying sadly that a 10-year-old girl passed away earlier this month after suffering plague-like symptoms. So yes, the disease is back. Now, humans typically get the plague from fleas carrying the plague bacterium or by handling infected animals. Oh, is that it? Yeah.

Symptoms include sudden fever, headache, chills, weakness, as well as, painful lymph nodes. Uh, you don't want the plague. And there is no vaccine for the disease, but it can be treated with antibiotics if it's detected early enough. So if you're in that neck of the woods, those six counties, I would say the entire state of Colorado, but those six counties in Colorado,

you should take certain precautions in areas where plague is present. including avoiding directly handling wildlife and keeping pets away from wildlife, especially dead rodents and rabbits. That's it, though. That's it, though. Just the plague is back. Good times. Good, good, good times.

Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. We know that free speech is, you know, being chipped away at, right? The little things we can and can't say. Oh, you can't call that person that. Oh, you can't call this person that. You can't do that.

Oh, that person doesn't like that. So you can't say that. And especially on social media. More and more, your speech on social media, your thoughts on social media are being hindered, hampered, due to algorithms. And they're keeping things down. And if you say the wrong things that the algorithm doesn't like, then we're going to cancel you.

And we know that this administration, you know, wants to cancel you on all platforms if one platform decides what you say isn't quite right. And now we're getting legislation that's been introduced by Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota. and she wants to hold platforms like Facebook and YouTube liable for promoting health-related misinformation. Oh, okay. So the Health Misinformation Act, co-sponsored by Senate Commerce Communications Subcommittee Chairman Ben Ray Lujan, he would create an exception for websites, current liability protection for user-posted content, when the sites promote posts containing health-related misinformation during a public health emergency. So I guess are we in a continual public health emergency?

I think we are. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provides websites with broad legal immunity from liability for content posted by their users. We've talked about that before. That's what they use to say, hey, we, you can't sue us. the people that are using our platform that are saying it, not us. However, that would be great if they actually lived by that. If they lived by, hey, we're a private company, people can say what they want. No, they have algorithms set up because they're trying to help take down your thought. Oh, no, you can't say that. Oh, no, that's not nice. You can't say that. So the Klobuchar

bill is going to carve out an exception to that law, or health misinformation that gets algorithmically promoted. I like that. I like that. So if you get algorithmically promoted, oh, yeah, no. Then now you could go after the platforms for allowing that speech on their platform. Wow. So I don't know that they've actually defined health misinformation yet.

I guess that's like porn. You know it when you see it. So they want the health and human services to come up with guidelines to determine what qualifies as health misinformation. So that's good. We'll get the health and human services to let us know what we can and cannot say and what's misinformation and what's not. It will be interesting to see what happens if they've decided that something is misinformation. And then it's found out that, oh, you know what? That's not misinformation anymore.

that's actually true. I mean, we had that with the lab leak theory, right? It was algorithmically cut because we can't talk about the virus being leaked from the lab. Well, you know what? Yeah, we can now. It's okay. Then we had the Russian hoax theory. We had the Russian bounties on American soldiers.

Oh, my gosh. He has Hunter's laptop. So those are things that we've decided were misinformation and were algorithmically cut so that people couldn't see the story or had to actually go out of their way and hunt for that story, not on the social media account. And now, you know what, it's okay now. So if you got the axe on one of the social platforms because you were spreading misinformation and now it's decided that what you were spreading is, isn't misinformation. Do you get to come back? If they decided that, well, you know what? Yeah, you can come back. No, I don't think that's going to happen. And we, I mean, we need to, we need to fight the free speech. I am all for saying whatever the heck you want to say,

when you want to say it. I know for years we've had the words we couldn't say on radio, which I hate it. I really do. I just despise the word police. I live by it. I know. I know. and we all live by it, we all walk down the road of, you know, you can't say that anymore. Those are words you can't say anymore. I get it. And thanks to the, you know, the LGBTQIA plus two community, we've got things that you can't say anymore and only they can say. It's, I wish that we would all just fight for free speech. Just say what you want.

Just say it. If I don't like what you say, I'll move on. Or we'll talk about it. We'll argue about it. We'll say, oh, that's wrong. I think that's wrong. No, it's not. Yes, it is.

But we'll do it between us. I don't need the government involved. And I would hope that, you know, the majority of people believe that. But then, when I see all the videos of the man on the street videos, the interviews, and I think, oh, no, that's what the... those people on the street are actually thinking and believing and knowing, which isn't much. Like this particular video, Man on the Street video, is a part of the Libs of TikTok post on Twitter. And it's 45 seconds, and it will maybe help you realize that we quite possibly could be doomed.

What year did America declare its independence? Girl, July 1st, 1989. Oh, God. What year did Christopher Columbus discover the Americas? I love Christopher, don't know. I mean, I'm done. Christopher, was it 1976? How many years make up a century?

Isn't that 1,000? What year was George W. Bush elected president? The 1800s, I'm assuming? Yeah, you're assuming, yeah. I don't know. He was the last president of the 1990s. 1990s? Oh, darn, who was that?

I actually have no idea. Nixon? What year was Barack Obama elected president? I don't even know. What century are we currently living in? Let's just go 50th century. Yeah, let's just go with the 50th century, you know. So after hearing those and watching those, you may think to yourself, we are doomed.

Now, the flip side is that this is just a, you know, there's just a handful of people that are this dumb. and that they are picking and choosing who they're posting on the video and all the people that have the right answer, they're not posting, and they don't want people to see that because this is funny. It's not funny anymore. That's not funny. And these people are not following the chewing the fat rule, and I want to remind you of the chewing the fat rule, okay?

You're not going to know the answer to every question when you get asked on the street. You just aren't. There's going to be a question that you go, I don't know. And then you're going to end up being the, you know, being on the thread of the stupid people when you say, I don't know, and you make a joke. Like the George W. Bush,

any of the 1800s, you know, I'm guessing. Yeah. No, so here's a good rule of thumb that you need to follow. Okay? All right. Just because someone puts a camera and a microphone in front of you doesn't mean you have to answer. You could be the person that makes the video.

thread of yeah no I don't want to answer I don't have time take care thanks but because most people you know you put a microphone in front of them and they want to talk they feel like they've got to talk they've got to answer they've got to prove you don't have to you don't have to but if you do please do not confirm what many of us think about where we're headed in this country okay please for the love of everything that is holy, do not confirm what many of us believe is happening in this country right now. Okay. Did you know,

did you realize that the Surfside Rescue Mission or, you know, mission is still going on, according to Miami-Dade Police Department, as of the 21st of July, a couple days ago. Today is the 23rd, for those of you listening live of July 2021-197. victims have been identified, including 96 victims recovered from the collapse, and one victim who passed away in the hospital, and 97 families have been notified. 242 people are accounted for, and 97 missing persons reports were opened with the Miami-Dade Police Department.

Okay, wow, that is still going on. Now, a jury, I mean, not a jury, a judge. Wow. I wouldn't think of a, that would just be dumb to think that a jury already awarded money. Oh, stupid. That was a judge. Awarded $150 million already to the victims of the Florida condo collapse. Wow.

That's already, and this is being touted as the initial compensation. Wow. Now, he claims that, according to this, $50 million was for insurance on the Champlain Towers and at least $100 million of the proceeds from the sale of the property at a hearing on Wednesday. Wow. Okay, so the court's concern, according to the judge has always been the victims and that visitors and renters are included in the settlement, not just the condo owners. I mean, I would venture to say what happens to, I just read a story about a lady who had just moved to Florida and had moved to one of the penthouses, one of the condos at Surfside. She was not married. She had no children and she, you know, is gone. What, what is, how does that work? I mean, I guess how it works as if she owed anybody any money.

That's taken care of, right? Because we talked about that before that, who's going to pay for all that? I mean, if all the stuff that these people were purchased, had purchased, or that they had owed or whatever, I mean, that's a lot of money still out there. I mean, somebody's going to want their money. I don't know where those $150 million come from, but I guess it comes from the state, and that's what you, you know, you'd be happy and that's what you get and have a nice day.

take what we give you. I guess if this is the initial downpouring of money, that there'll be a whole lot more. They claim that 272 families have received services through the Family Assistance Center now. They also have cleared out another building of In Surfside. This building about six blocks away from the Champlain Towers,

Regent Palace. condominium. They hired an engineering firm before the collapse of the Champlain Towers, and they just got the review back a couple of weeks ago. And the city said, get out. Wait, what? Yeah. Your building was constructed 70 years ago. Immediate action is needed. Shoring up all the damage columns needs to happen right now. Do not wait. for building permits it's imperative that you act immediately without delay and you by the way get out uh you can't live here anymore so and we're probably just going to sell it and knock it down and build a new building oh okay yeah according to the condominium association president i think we're doing

what's necessary to protect the people in the property okay uh no problem then we'll just find a new place to live okay all right it's all for your safety it's all for your safety remember that remember that that misinformation on health is all for your safety if you can't say that if you're living in a building and it looks like it's got a couple extra cracks in it get out move on with your life never mind that you were living there and you've got all your stuff there get out get out we're going to knock it down and we're going to build a new building and you're not going to be able to come back to the new building. Well, sure, you can come back to the new building, but you have to pay a lot more money. I mean, what happens to these people? I just, I don't know.

Do I want the building to fall down? No. Do I think it's going to fall down? I don't know. I don't know. You know, there's, I listened to an interview with a guy talking about a bio-coded, directed energy, bio-coded, directed energy. All right? And I thought, wow, that's kind of strange. I mean, that's focused energy. I've kind of heard about it before where they use lasers and microwaves and particle beams. But according to what I heard an interview on about directed energy weapons, that that's being used by our enemies.

And I saw some guy post a story on Instagram or TikTok or one of the social media sites. probably misinformation, which I listened to, and I probably shouldn't have listened to it. I probably hoped that somebody would have just cut him off because now it's in my head. And I believe everything I read or see. Algorithmically, I saw this. And he's talking about how the surfside building was taken down because of a directed energy weapon. Oh, okay. Now, I heard an interview about a guy talking.

talking about the directed energy weapons being used on humans. And he was saying that if they have your DNA, then they could use these directed energy weapons on humans. So good times. Good, good times. You know what I want to direct right now? I want to direct my energy on something cold to drink. So let's go to the break room and get something cold to drink.

Okay. Oh, there. All right. So let's say you own a pool. You have a pool at the house, right? And you go to a doctor's appointment. You're 69 years old. And you live in Florida, of course, you know, because you have a pool.

And you can't have a pool in another state, Jeff? Yeah, no. Only Florida is allowed to have pools, okay? So he goes to a doctor's appointment. When he comes back from the doctor's appointment, there's a naked lady swimming in his pool. Now, what do you do? If you're James Clark in Florida, what do you do? You come home to your Port Charlotte home and you see a naked woman in your pool.

What do you do? I'll let you think about that for a moment. Exactly. That's what I thought. But no, James calls the police and the police come and they strong. because she doesn't want to get out of the pool and they try to handcuff her and they arrested her and charged her with

trespassing and resisting without violence. I'm really sick. I got to tell you, no one supports the police more than chewing the fat, but I'm really tired of seeing people charged with this resisting charge. This one is resisting without violence. Others are

resisting with violence, resisting. There was a whole, there's a laundry list of different resistings that people are getting arrested for. I don't like it if you struggle at all i mean if you just say come on and that's resisting uh that pushes my button a little bit but that's okay i get it i get it don't look at me like that i got it no one supports the police more than me so if i'm james clark now if this lady apparently lives a couple of miles away from james's house so it's not a neighbor you know it's not someone that he didn't know her

Apparently, apparently he didn't know her. There's no report on whether, you know, James' wife was there, so he had to pretend like he didn't know her and have her arrested. Or if his husband was home and he had to pretend like he didn't know her and have her arrested. But, I mean, it is kind of strange that you just pick somebody's house to go swimming in naked,

so it probably would say that she has some other issues going on, whether it's pharmaceutical related or non-pharmaceutical related, but there's other issues going on. I just want to say, I want to go on record, that if I came home, if I had a pool and I don't, not anymore, I miss having a pool, though, but I don't have one. If I came home and there was a naked woman swimming in my pool, I don't think I would call the police.

In fact, you know what? I'm going to go on on a limb. I wouldn't call the police. There. There. So you're safe. If I ever have a pool and you're a female and you want to get naked and jump in my pool and you don't live at my house, you go right ahead.

Hey, did you see where HBO added 2.4 million subscribers in the U.S. last quarter? I'm sorry, HBO Max. It's all under the same umbrella. But HBO Max specifically added 2.4 million subscribers. in the U.S. last quarter. Remember, Netflix lost 430,000 in the U.S. and Canada. So a lot of those are headed over to HBO Max. And they're creating some great content.

Netflix is, you know, they've still got some really good content. And I'm not necessarily opposed to Netflix yet. But HBO Max is definitely creating some excellent content and well worth the subscription. I think we get it through Hulu, so it's another subscription. I'm really just agonizing. Hey, speaking of subscriptions, if you are listening to this show right now and you are not a subscriber to it, what are you doing with your life? Please become a subscriber.

It's free. Just choose a platform of your choice, whatever one you're, you know, like if you're listening to it right now and whatever platform you're listening to it on, you're sneaking it on from your neighbors or your friends. Just you can, you know, go ahead and subscribe on that platform or you could say, I don't really like this platform. I like the other one. So use that one and subscribe to chewing the fat.

Okay. And you get my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You got Twitter at Jeffrey JFR, Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, and then you're good. You're covered right down to the wire, okay? I got an email. You can always email me if you have information or I want to ask me a question or want to give me information.

You can email Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. I got an email from Jay who talked about one of the things that he used to do. I don't know what brought the story on. Oh, he said in the email that we were talking about the story of packaging. And I don't know, I guess, you know, the size of packages. And we were talking about it on Pat Unleashed this week, how companies are, you know, downside. their packages and you're paying the same price for it.

And that's been going on for a while and it's becoming more and more prevalent. And a lot of those companies for a long time kept the same packaging. Just the innards were smaller. So on the box, the box took up the same shelf space, but inside it wasn't 16 ounces anymore. It was, you know, 12 ounces. And it's just, you know, and they're charging you the same price. Well, Jay was reminded of what happened, what they used to do in college to a friend of theirs, which I'm okay. I like it.

He said that they had a really annoying roommate. So periodically they would open his new package of Pop-Tarts, remove and enjoy one of the silver sleeves of goodness. That's his description, not mine. although I don't necessarily disagree with the silver sleeves of goodness from the inside. Then they would glue the box lid back down. He would get pissed and rant about quality control with Kellogg's call the quality control number, and they would send him a coupon for a replacement product. Nice.

See, what that started with, and that actually, I do remember what I was talking about with Kellogg's, is that when I was working at Winn-Dixie 100 years ago, as one of the stock boys, I'm sorry, stock person, a shelf replenisher, we'd get a palette of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, and I just remember that it was Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. And we'd get, the palette would be 10 cases of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. So in each case, there's 12 boxes inside each case, right?

So you've got, with 10 cases on this palette, you've got 120 boxes. That's what you're, that's what you'd figure out that you would have to sell, right? Well, as a stock boy, I'm opening up the boxes and filling up, you know, put it up on the shelves. But every 10th case in my experience had one box that had one less box of cereal in it. So really there was only 119 boxes for the store to sell. Now, was that an accident? He could have been. Absolutely.

Was it a quality control issue? And, you know, one box got, you know, one run of eight billion boxes had that happen? Sure. It's possible it was a mistake. But I question it being a mistake. because if you did that across the country, I mean, you are making a lot of money. And as a stock, boy, shelf replenisher, I don't care.

That's one less box I got to put on the shelf. So I'm not reporting it. And if I were to report it, the Kellogg's rep and the company would replace it just like they did with the Pop-Tarts. Right? They don't want their angry customers and they're going to take care of you. They're going to send you a coupon.

No problem. We're sorry. That's customer service. So, I mean, that's a lot of money. That's a lot of money for that company, man. And I'm not saying they did that on purpose. I'm just saying I was always reminded of the story from, I think, the 70s where this guy got angry at a garbage bag making company because the roll in the box didn't have what the box said. The box said, and I don't remember, I don't have it in front of me, but, you know, let's just use an example of 200.

garbage bags on the roll. And there were only, you know, 180 on the roll. I mean, that's a lot of garbage bags being used. That's free money. Free money. Because I just, anyway. Is that it?

Yeah, that's it. Okay. Oh, one more thing about food. Taco Bell has posted a thing along the top of their website that says, sorry if we can't feed your current crave due to transportation delays. We may be out of some items at your local restaurant.

No, I will not hear of it. Stop it. Get those deliveries out there. Buy truckers. If you are a trucker and need a job, go work for Taco Bell. Get those. Look at that food delivered. I don't want to hear about transportation delays.

And what does that mean? Is that the delivery from the warehouse to the Taco Bell stores? Or is that delivery from, the manufacturers to the Taco Bell warehouse. The Taco Bell warehouse can get the stuff out to the stores. I don't know where the problem is, but it better be fixed soon. I won't hear of it. It looks like they're happening.

The Olympics are underway. We had the opening ceremonies today, but it was the first time the Olympics have been delayed. Remember, this is the Olympics that was supposed to happen last year. And it's happening this year. And I thought, for sure, I lost my shirt. I bet on it being canceled and it's not canceled. They could still pull the plug and I'd be kind of half right.

But I said it wasn't going to happen and it is. So I stand corrected. But I know that we still have the big Delta variant to worry about. And they are really worried about it in Japan and Tokyo. I mean, they are spending, they've spent billions. on getting ready for this. And their, you know,

their, all their game plan includes masks, daily testing, temp checks, GPS monitoring for the athletes, because vaccines aren't required to participate yet. Uh, they have 80% of the athletes

have already been vaccinated. Public transportation off limits. There won't be any live fans. Oh. Okay. I know that 80% of the jazz. Japanese in one poll said they wanted the Olympics canceled or postponed because of COVID-19 concerns. They're worried that even this way, it's going to become a super spreader event.

Okay, I mean, you've got gymnastics, swimming, track, and field, but no fans, nothing. It's just going to be, you're going to be able to watch it on one of the NBC platforms. All right, fine. You've got skateboarding this show. year. You've got surfing this year. You have karate. You've got rock climbing. Nothing says the Olympics like more than rock climbing. You have baseball and softball back. So, okay, I know the IOC is, you know, trying to, you know, attract new and younger viewers. I don't know that rock climbing will do it. But it could. It's very possible that it could

but we do are the Olympics are on and this time they're pissed I'll be fascinated to see if they actually do make it I still hold when one country shows up and

they test positive and if they're all there now which I doubt because they kind of come and go between the times of their events if they if a country shows up or if they're there and then they all test positive. They show up, they test negative.

They're in the Olympic Village and then they all test positive. They are going to, they're going to pull the plug. They're still going to play the plug. I know. I know. And also, for those of you that are, you know, big on women sports, the women's participation,

49%. 49% of the games women's participation, the highest it's ever been. Yes, that's right, you heard me. In 1900, when women made their Olympic debut, you remember when women were actually disparaged on the planet and discriminated against, 22 women participated out of the almost 1,000 athletes in the 1900 Olympics.

So congratulations to women. You're almost 50% of the athletes this year in the Summer Olympics. Congratulations. Anyway, I still think that they can pull the plug in. I'd be half right. So as long as we're talking about sports and COVID, don't forget about the NFL, who now says that if an unvaccinated NFL player causes a game to be canceled,

the infected team forfeits, takes a loss for the player. off seating, faces financial penalties, and possible additional sanctions if protocols have been violated. And both players don't get paid. Or both teams don't get paid. Oh, okay. Good. No problem. But they're not mandating that you get vaccinated to play. Oh, okay. All right. No problem. Did you see the story out of New Jersey that mentioned 50 fully vaccinated residents have died from COVID-19? Wait, what? Yeah, 50 fully vaccinated people have died from COVID-19.

Now, a spokeswoman for the State Department of Health told the news outlet that all 49 people who died were over since almost 50. I apologize. I don't want to spread missing. information. It's only 49 people, not 50, but they were all over 50. 30 were over 80 years old. 13 of them were between 65 and 79 years old, and six were between 50 and 64. Okay. All right, they were all over 50, and they all had preexisting conditions. Okay. 17 of the people, boy, they are really trying to get over this. 17 people had cardiovascular disease. Nine had cancer.

or other conditions that compromise their immune systems and seven had diabetes. Okay, that's terrible. Others had chronic conditions in lungs, kidney and liver. Yeah, that is, that's terrible. And according to this, the number of vaccinated people who have died from COVID-19 represents a slight uptick since New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy. And I love Governor Phil Murphy said that inoculated people had died from coronavirus, according to the New Jersey advanced media.

Okay, I know that these people are going to die. All right. We know that they're going to everybody. I don't know if you know this or not, but everybody dies. I know. I'm breaking it to you. I know. But everybody dies.

But I thought that the point of getting vaccinated was you would not get COVID-19 and or if you did it, would not be as bad. And now it looks, I know it's only 49 people. I got you. The story's just 49 people. But it looks as though if you get fully vaccinated and you have underlying conditions and then you catch a new variant, which the vaccine isn't set up to fight, then you

could still die from the virus, the coronavirus, COVID-19, the variant. So, I mean, I don't want it. We've talked about it a bunch. If you want to get the vaccine, you should get it. But this concerted effort to get everyone the vaccine is really, oh, man. I don't know. And then I read the story about the people who, you know, had the vaccine, and then they break through.

They get the breakthrough infections. And those, and that kills them. Which goes into a story that I heard a long time ago about the studies that they did. on the MRNA test. I don't want to spread misinformation because I don't know that it's true. I'll preface it with I don't know that it's true. But they talked about at one point

how the MRNA testing was available. It did great for a couple of years and then it didn't do so good. So, you know, I don't know. And then we, you know, I have the story that talks about three states, now driving the pandemic? Okay.

What states are driving the pandemic? Florida, Missouri, and Texas. Huh. Florida, Missouri, and Texas. I wonder if we'll get any stories about people in Florida, Missouri, or Texas who didn't get vaccinated and now have COVID-19.

Oh my gosh, here's a story of a lady from Missouri. Huh. How she didn't get the vaccine, didn't think it was worthy for her to get the vaccine. Now her and her husband have COVID-19 and she's begging everyone to get the vaccine. I know. I agree. I think that if I got COVID and I don't want it, I would tell you, geez, I should have got the vaccine. Maybe. Because I just, I don't know. I don't know. And if I get COVID, if it's anything, if I get the bad brand of COVID, it's all bad, Jeff. I know.

But if I were to get the bad brand of COVID, I might be lucky to come out of it. But I'm still in the hesitant pile of the vaccine. And I shouldn't be. I know. I know. I know. I asked you at one point a while ago to email me about whether you were vaccinated and what you thought about it. And many of you did.

And I thank you very much for the info. and I got overwhelming response. So if you want to tell me again, you can email Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com and let me know what you think and what you think now about being vaccinated, the numbers going up. And they keep saying all these numbers are going up.

But when you look at the chart of where we were and what is actually going up, I don't know that it is. I mean, yes, yes. From where we were, the numbers are going up. But not anything. close to what they were. So

is it panic porn? I don't know. I don't know if it is or not. I just don't know. The military is working on an anti-aging pill. According to the U.S. Special Operations Command, they are working on an anti-aging pill

that could halt some naturally degenerative, degenerative effects of aging. Okay. I'm a fan. No problem. Thank you. According to this, they've completed pre-clinical safety

and dosing studies in anticipation of follow-up performance testing next year in 2022. Wow. The pill involves a human performance small molecule that will be fashioned into a nutriscept... I can't even say the word, neutracetical.

Neutra-C-E-U-T-I-C-A-L, Neutracetical, form. Both civilians and military personnel. I can say it. Nutraceutical. Said it again. Ha. Okay, fine. Now, apparently it improves human performance and endurance and makes recovery from injury faster.

According to this, the pharmaceutical manufacturer, AstraZeneca, who is not involved with this pill said it sounds a lot like a molecule with low molecular weight. Okay, well, I'm quoting AstraZeneca, but they didn't have nothing to do with this particular drug. I don't know why that's in the story. But they talk about the possible that what's in this is the molecule in question is something called nicotamide and it's NAD plus. Well, there's plenty of NAD plus stuff out there already.

If that's what they're doing, if it's a booster from that, I mean, you can get the NAD plus stuff, the true niogen, that's already out there. Which, you know, I'm just saying you can get true nitrogen right now. That's NADA plus booster, true niagin, it's available right now. So I'm not quite sure. I bet it's got to be a little bit different than just the true niogen that I can pick up on Amazon Prime. But maybe not. Maybe it's the same stuff.

I don't know. But anything that's going to help, you know, help you recover from injuries faster, help you perform better and help halt some naturally degenerative effects of aging, I'm all for. 100%. Well, Jeff, would you try that? Yes. Well, we want to make sure you're, yes.

Okay. No problem. You know, I say that, and then earlier I'm talking about, you know, the vaccine. See what I mean? I'm torn. I don't know. Stop. Leave me alone.

Let's talk about Maine's Food Sovereignty Act, okay? They are passing a bill that goes on the ballot in November. The bill's already passed. It goes on the ballot ballot in November. It's going to let Maine residents cultivate and harvest their own food as an inalienable right. I would say yes to that. I would say that that's America. You should be able to grow your own food on your property if you want to.

I know the HOA's disagree with that. I do not. No. I know that they say the bill's definitions clarify that individuals will still need to adhere to local and state food safety laws and be subject to qualifying meat and poultry licensing regulations, especially surrounding producer-to-consumer transactions. Oh, okay. So you, I can have my own chickens. I just can't sell them without you saying it's okay for me to sell them. Okay. LD95, or the Maine Food Sovereignty Act, aims to strengthen the rights of Maine residents to grow and consume their own food. If it passes, the legislation would formally add in the Maine Constitution that all individuals have a natural, inherent, and unalienable right to grow, raise, harvest, produce, and consume the food of their own choosing for their own

nourishment, substance, body health, and well-being. How in the Lord's name is that not in every legislation in America? That is America. Amazing. We've come so far. We've come so far. And yet I know there should be a... Somebody should sing a song or something about that. Wow. That makes me... Did you see where they... It makes me want to talk about finding the thumbprint

on the buttocks of a wax statue? Yeah. Experts at a London museum believe they have found the fingerprint of Michelangelo. Right? A 500-year-old thumbprint on the butt of one of these waxes? statues that he created. You know, could it be his

or could it be, you know, the guy that was moving it when it was done? I don't know. Did Michael Angelo say, hey, Joey, why don't you push that over there for a little bit? I've done. And he put his thumbprint on it and then it's over. But it could be his, I guess. So they're looking forward to, you know,

finding out, I guess, if it's his. I don't know how they find out if it's his. So now we just say, yep, that's his. Okay. Now the wax figure of a slave reportedly served as a model for a larger marble statue

intended for the tomb of Pope Julius II at St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. Okay. So the full-sized slave statue is found at the Galleria del academia in Florence.

Okay. So this is just the one that, you know, the fingerprint was found out the buttocks of a statue of a slave at the Victoria and Albert Museum. So it was just the little guy that he was looking at for the big lie that has the thumbprint on. So it could be his. Yeah, I guess. Sure. Because it was never intended to last, right? It was just him using it as a model. So, okay. I don't really like the eye. idea of it being called a slave model though. Yeah, I don't. Okay? It hurts me to think that Michelangelo was using a slave model, even if it was a wax figure. Yeah. I mean, I know he was born in 1475 and died in 1564, but still, still, I think you know what I'm saying. Yeah. Hey, have you seen the new Sports Illustrated cover yet? I know. It's exciting. There's three

Three stars on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Yeah. So you can have yours thirst quenched for the SI swimsuit issue. It's the most diverse group of women to date. It includes a slew of plus-sized catwalkers and a 57-year-old stunner. That's the story. Yes, it's got a plus-sized catwalkers and a 50-7-year-old. 7-year-old stunner.

Yay! And the cover, you know, the three stars on the cover, you've got Naomi Osaga, you've got Megan the Stallion, which is the first rapper to appear on the cover of the issue, and Lena Bloom. And, of course, you know,

Lena Bloom, the first trans woman to appear in the issue, and on the cover. I don't think that's the first trans woman to appear in the issue. Didn't, uh, didn't, uh, what's her face, appear in the issue?

Oh, that was the Victoria Secrets model. Because we talked to her. Valentina. Right? Valentina, Sanpail, from Brazil? Yeah. We talked to her. She was the first trans for the Victoria's Secret model.

So the Sports Illustrated is the first with their trans, but they're coming up way behind the old Victoria's Secret. But congratulations. to Naomi Osaga and Megan the stallion and Lena Bloom for gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated. Now, they were really bummed this year because they had to take all their sexy shoots here in the United States at the Hard Rock Hotel in California, Florida, and Atlantic City.

They couldn't travel to an exotic locale. But, hey, they covered all their bases. They did everything under CDC guidelines. And they took every precaution to keep everyone safe. So enjoy the new Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, because there is nothing more than I, myself, want to see than a slew of plus-sized catwalkers and a 57-year-old stunner. Right?

Right.
