Starting point is 00:00:00 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?
Starting point is 00:00:19 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. How many times are you going to have to be told to always supervise your children around backyard poultry and make sure they wash their hands properly afterward? How many times? How many times are you going to have to be told?
Starting point is 00:00:47 Don't let children younger than five years old touch chicks, which is really a good advice anyway, ducklings or other backyard poultry. Young children are more likely to get sick from germs like salmonella. That's right. It's rearing its ugly head again. One in four sick people is a child younger than five. There are 198 new cases, 54 new hospitalizations, one new death,
Starting point is 00:01:28 And one new state that has now come to fruition in the Salmanilla investigation. Backyard poultry, chicken, ducks, they can carry the germs, even if they look healthy and clean. And those germs can spread like, well, salmonella. So wash your hands with soap and water after touching your backyard poultry and their eggs. or anything in the area where they live in Rome. So just watch yourself. Watch yourself. And don't leave your kids unsupervised around chicks.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Okay? And if you're collecting eggs, collect them frequently. And throw away the cracked ones. And rub off the dirt and brush them off. the cloth or sandpaper because that's and refrigerate them don't leave them out on the counter like you think they taste better that way get them on the get them in the refrigeration okay now if you start to have diarrhea and a fever higher than 102 if you have diarrhea for more than
Starting point is 00:02:49 three days that doesn't seem to be improving if you have bloody diarrhea any one of those i would say, it's time to maybe see a medical professional. If you have so much vomiting that you cannot keep liquids down, uh, okay. And, uh, signs of dehydration like not urinating, dry mouth and throat, feeling dizzy when standing up. If you have any of those things, see your health care provider right away because you may have salmonella.
Starting point is 00:03:24 So no joke. I'm not joking. I'm not joking. Watch yourself. Don't make me tell you again. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So if you're out on Long Island and you see Barney the Bull, don't approach him.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Okay. He probably isn't going to be a harm to humans, but he's been running loose now. and we don't know where he is and we have sightings and people are calling the police department saying, hey, I just saw this 1,500 pound black bull running through the neighborhood
Starting point is 00:04:07 and they can't seem to catch him. He's been walking across fields and roads and front yards and backyards and he's shut down some highways and they have looked for him all over. They've sent drones. They've tried to bait him. They've tried to try to try.
Starting point is 00:04:24 trap him and it hasn't worked. So they tried to, you know, lure him with a cow with horses. I mean, what kind of bull is this? You try to lure him with a little bull bidness. Maybe you try another male bull. I'm just saying. I don't know that it would work. I am just saying.
Starting point is 00:04:44 So it's roaming around Long Island and, you know, there's plenty of underbrush and pine barons. And we don't know, you know, where it is. It's, we hope that we're going to have to, you know, move him to a sanctuary. We don't know. He's not aggressive toward humans. He doesn't have horns. So just call us, call the police department, and let him know, okay? They're saying the bull is currently loose and all sightings should be reported to 911.
Starting point is 00:05:19 And they are actively responding to all sightings. So, let's be careful out there. don't try to invite Barney back home unless you're a regular bull. Then maybe Barney will take care of a little bull business. And that's when you catch him. But as of right now, it hasn't worked. So I don't know what's going on. I don't know, maybe this is a monk, you know, a bull that's a monk
Starting point is 00:05:49 and doesn't care about business, which is possible. So if it's a monk bowl, I don't know what you do. Maybe you just leave him alone, let him wander around for a while. And when he gets close to where he's supposed to be, he'll go back in the barn. He'll be fine. So did you see where Dell now has stopped shipping certain high energy intensive gaming computers to customers in six states that have new electronics? electricity consumption regulations.
Starting point is 00:06:25 And you think, wait, what? Yes, that's right. They're not going to ship computer models to California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington. Because the states are adopting the California Energy Commission's new tier two mandatory energy efficiency standards on computers and mobile gaming systems, that were put into effect July 1st. This product, according to Dell's website, cannot be shipped to states of California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, due to power consumption regulations adopted by those states, any orders placed that are bound for those states will be canceled. Wow.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Okay. That's great. That is great. I wonder, are they going to come to your house if you already have one? Computer police. Power police, we're here. I don't know. According to this, a study conducted by the Semiconductor Industry Association.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Who doesn't love studies by the Semiconductor Industry Association? They found, this was in 2015. Wow, ancient history. they found that computing will not be sustainable by 2040 when the energy required for computing will exceed the estimated world's energy production I don't know maybe we'll find a way to I don't know produce more energy by then just a thought
Starting point is 00:08:08 maybe we will find another way to power these computers by 2040 maybe and then again You know, maybe not, and we'll just be dark and no lights will turn on. And if we keep using, you know, water to generate power, that may happen out West. No question about that. Speaking of computing, I see where a guy by the name of Mitch Fowler out of Salt Lake City set the world record for speed running. There was an old video game. One hour, nine minutes, and 58 seconds of perfection.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Nobody ever made a run faster than 70 minutes, but Fowler's, and this story calls it a stunning achievement in February, the 33-year-old Canadian gamer who lives in Salt Lake City, racing every level of Super Mario Bros. 3, the Nintendo game that was released in 1990. But Fowler is called a speed runner. That's a name for gamers who obsessively search for, optimal paths and explicit glitches, exploit glitches, that save precious seconds to post the fastest
Starting point is 00:09:24 times. He plays to thousands of spellbound fans on live streaming platform Twitch. And so it may be a hobby for some, but it's not a hobby for him. Got it? And he now has the world record. So congratulations to Mitch in your one hour, nine minutes, and four. 58 seconds of perfection. I mean, we're talking websites, so let's continue on with websites. Did you see where a Colorado web designer now is told from a federal judge that she has to give equal access to LGBT customers? The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit on Monday said that this will,
Starting point is 00:10:17 web designer who lives in Colorado must, must create websites that she says violates her religious beliefs. Wow. How about no? In a two to one decision, the appeals court said 303 creative founder, Lori Smith, must design graphics and websites that celebrate same-sex marriages because a Colorado's anti-discrimination act permissibly compels her to do so if she is also going to create websites that celebrate heterosexual marriages. Oh, wow. How about the government not forcing me to create anything that I don't want to? How about that? That is Amazing. Writing for the majority, Judge Mary Beck Briscoe said that Colorado has a compelling interest
Starting point is 00:11:19 in protecting both the dignity interest of members of marginalized groups and their material interest in assessing the commercial marketplace. She ruled that while the CADA, CAA's protections are not narrowly tailored to preventing dignitary harms, what? The law requires Colorado to ensure equal, access to public available goods and services. The fact that same-sex couples can obtain web design services from other businesses, not 303 creative, does not mean that homosexuals have equal access.
Starting point is 00:12:01 What? Um, wow. Permitting Smith to honor her religious convictions by refusing to celebrate same-sex marriages would necessarily regulate LGBT customers to an inferior market because of the unique services by definition are unavailable elsewhere. Wow. Okay. That is amazing.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Briscoe asserted that Smith has something similar to a monopoly over her own creative talents. No, she's just better at it than everybody else. The dissenting 10th Circuit judge said the Constitution protects Smith's beliefs and warned that Brisco's logic could vastly explain the government's power over speech. You think? Yeah, no kidding. So this in a word is unprecedented. Unpresented?
Starting point is 00:13:02 No, unprecedented. Taken to its logical end, the government could regulate the messages communicated by all artists, forcing them to promote messages approved by. government in the name of ensuring access to the commercial marketplace. But that will never happen. That is just silly. We're just making this one lady make stuff that she doesn't want to make. That's it. Not everybody.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Wow, are you dumb? I thought you were a judge, but apparently not unprecedented. We're just making this one lady do something. that she doesn't want to do. And because there are other people that do it, but they don't do it as well, well, then she has to do it, right? Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:13:56 How about no? All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. And today, just as, you know, just to make you aware, for those of you, you know, listening live on the 28th of July, 2021, A diet Dr. Pepper I hold in my hands. Yes, and it is ice cold too.
Starting point is 00:14:17 And let's see if it's as refreshing as I hope it is. Yes, yes it is. Oh, yeah. Okay, so remember to follow me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR, Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can call the fat. line 214-735-9356 and leave a message if you'd like or you can email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. So I got a message from Alex who reminded me that I haven't really explained the rules to being a subscriber to chewing the fat in a while. Now his message to me was you've
Starting point is 00:15:07 turned me into a sinful liar. I got asked what I was listening to today and even though I was listening to Pat's stupid show, whatever it's called, which is awesome. I said I was listening to chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. I'm a liar now. But rules are rules. I don't make rules, but it's what separates us from the animals. Thank you, Alex. Thank you for doing what you're supposed to do and following the rules. And you're right, that is what separates us from the animals and I haven't reminded the old and new listeners about rules of engagement. So if you're a subscriber to chewing the fat and you're, and I know you're going to listen to other things, I want you to.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I want you to be, you know, all encompassing and listen to anything you want to listen to. But because you're a subscriber to chewing the fat on whatever platform you are a subscriber on, when someone asks you when you're out and about and you have headphones on and they say, hey, what are you listening to? You must answer, I'm chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Now, rules or rules. Alex is right. That's the way it is.
Starting point is 00:16:19 So just remember, that's, you know, what you need to do. Okay? All right, then. Good. I also got an email from the Galactic Federation. I know. I got an email from their spokesperson. And the spokesperson for the Galactic.
Starting point is 00:16:39 FACTECTAFederation emailed me and said, Dear Mr. Fisher, we monitor your podcast every day, sir. It is one of our favorites of all. We rate it 18 on a scale of 10, which obviously they listen to, because if you are a subscriber, another rule is that if you can't rate and review it,
Starting point is 00:17:01 you review it 18 stars. It's actually 20 stars. A best podcast ever. It's just what you do. If you want to do the 18 stars, to be funny, ha, ha, ha, ha, but it's just easier to do 20 stars, best podcast ever. So, the email continues.
Starting point is 00:17:16 While we do understand this Jeff Bezos may be the richest man on your planet, Earth, he is, in fact, not the richest person in the galaxy, not even for the 10 minutes and 10 seconds that he was in off of the planet Earth. That honor, and I did not, I mean, I certainly didn't know this, falls to Poloic
Starting point is 00:17:41 Nevajik PLI-O-K N-E-V-A-J-K and apparently he is from Saturn's Moon Titan Mr. Bezos according to the email
Starting point is 00:17:55 isn't even in the top 50 of the richest people in the galaxy this email says to think a man who only owns one space vessel there are people in our galaxy who have come
Starting point is 00:18:08 companions who have companions who have their own space vessel. So, I mean, I apologize to the Galactic Federation, and I want to say thank you for listening. Thank you very much. And they also went on in the email to thank me and thank me for keeping them entertained. No, no, no. Galactic Federation spokesperson, thank you for letting me know that you're out there
Starting point is 00:18:33 and things are happening and you're listening. and I apologize for, you know, giving false information that at the time of Jeff Bezos being off the planet Earth, he would be the richest man in the galaxy that is obviously incorrect. And I do not want to give incorrect information on this show. All right, let's talk a little bit of Olympic. A little bit Olympics.
Starting point is 00:19:01 We can talk about the metal account. Just a quick rundown. Japan has more gold. as of this time, at this time, on the 28th of July, 2021, at the time of this recording, Japan has 13 golds, China has 12 golds, and the United States has 11 golds. The United States has the most medals, 31, China has 27, Japan has 22. Those are the top three. However, can we just talk for a moment?
Starting point is 00:19:29 Before we get to one thing I have to comment on, I want to thank Pink, who said, She would offer to pay the fine of the Norwegian beach handball team that got fined for wearing shorts instead of bikini bottoms. Pink tweeted, I'm very proud of the Norwegian female beach handball team for protesting the very sexist rules about their uniform. The European Handball Federation should be fined for sexism. good on you ladies I'll be happy to pay your fines for you keep it up well isn't that special
Starting point is 00:20:12 now they replied of course on the gram and said hey thank you so much for the support we really appreciate all the love we have received you're the best oh that's so nice now pink tweeted that but the reply from the Norwegian
Starting point is 00:20:29 I'm sorry from the Norway beach handball women's and it's just Norway Beach handball woman Instagram account was the reply to that so maybe you did it on the gram as well however the
Starting point is 00:20:45 you know remember they wore the shorts and they got fine for it well the Norwegian Handball Federation announced that it was prepared to pay the fines adding that it should be a free choice within a standardized
Starting point is 00:21:01 framework I thought that's what the rules were. A choice inside a standardized framework. Those are the rules. That's what that's what's called the rules. I just, I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:21:18 But anyway, you don't want to make the fight outside of the Olympics. You don't want to wear the bikini bottoms. I get it. I mean, I'm not opposed to watching beach handball being played with bikini bottoms. That maybe that's the
Starting point is 00:21:33 me. You know what? And I'm not opposed to watching them in shorts either. But, you know, make the fight outside of the Olympics. That's my same kind of deal with, what's your face? Simone Biles. The best in the world. I know we talked a little bit about this yesterday and it just drives me insane. I cannot believe that in the middle of the Olympics, this best in the world, has to stop for a mental health day or a week or whatever. This is the third Olympics she's been involved in. I know she's getting a little long in the tooth now. She's what, 24.
Starting point is 00:22:20 So, you know, times are tough. And at 24, we're doing what she does. That actually is getting a little long in the tooth. But still, it just shocks me. that we are all supposed to be okay with Simone Biles saying, I need some time, I need some mental health time. How about you wait a few days? Okay, we'll give you some time off next week.
Starting point is 00:22:50 In fact, next week, why don't you take the rest of your life off? Okay, how about that? Then you can be on the box of Wheaties and hawk your Nike gym wear and whatever you're hawking and you can do that and you don't have to worry about competition anymore. Okay? How about that? All right.
Starting point is 00:23:13 We'll talk to you later. You take care. I'll send the do girls over to pick you up tomorrow for the event. Okay. Okay. All right. We'll talk to you later, Simone. You'll be good now.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Okay? I don't get it. Are you kidding me? Simone. Simone. Simone. I could just say her name because I want to say, you know, a lot more. And I know the world is on her side
Starting point is 00:23:47 and she needs the mental health and good for her. I'm not supposed to say anything. And maybe it's my white privilege. And I'm just a racist. But, you know, I wouldn't be saying that if it was a white gymnast except I would. You wouldn't be saying that if it was. was a male gymnast except yeah I would because it's the olympics you've you've you've done everything
Starting point is 00:24:11 you can to get to the top of the world and you're there and now that you're there you stop I mean if you thought you couldn't do it and times were tough and you were getting dark days and you were heading into depression then why take a away from someone else's chances to perform and work with the team. Just step away. But now you've cost the Americans medals. You've cost the team, not just you. I just, because they had expected and planned on you being a part of the team. And so I don't know, I don't know. Maybe it's true. Maybe she just couldn't do it anymore and she was having, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:05 she didn't feel right and it was wrong and she just couldn't do it. I mean, I get it. Okay, I'll give you just a little bit, just a little bit of a break. But not much because personally, I believe that if you have worked to get to the top of your game for all these years, And even if you've struggled all these years to be, I was told that there was an interview with her where she talked about how their best time is her time off
Starting point is 00:25:38 and her downtime and she wasn't enjoying it anymore. Well, then don't do it. But if you're going to do it, do it. You can't quote me on that, okay? You can. You can. You can't. You can quote me on that. If you're going to do it, do it. At Desjardin, we speak business. We speak startup funding and comprehensive game plans.
Starting point is 00:26:06 We've mastered made-to-measure growth and expansion advice, and we can talk your ear-off about transferring your business when the time comes. Because at Desjardin business, we speak the same language you do. Business. So join the more than 400,000 Canadian entrepreneurs who already count on us, and contact Desjardin today. We'd love to talk, business. So Bruce Springsteen, the boss, doesn't want a toilet with his name on it.
Starting point is 00:26:48 And I mean, I don't know that I can blame him, really. So New Jersey is sprucing up their highway rest stops by naming them after famous New Jersey celebrities like Whitney Houston, Bon Jovi. And they wanted the boss on there. and Bruce was like, oh, yeah, no, I'm just going to go ahead and decline. I am all for the whole New Jersey Hall of Fame thing. And, you know, I'm all for that, but no, I do not want a toilet named after me. Okay? It's okay.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Look, I know you go ahead, Connie Chong, Sela Cruz, Tony Morrison, Judy Blume, Larry Dobie, Jack, you know, do you know who Larry Dobie is? I didn't either. But apparently he followed Jackie Robinson in the National League and broke the color barrier in the American League. So, okay, he's going to get a rest stop devoted to him too. Good. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:27:54 I guess Governor Phil Murphy talked with Archbishop or whoever he talks to at the Catholic diocese, and they wanted to spruce up the term. Turnpike authorities bathrooms and did this whole statewide hero thing at all the rest stops. So the turnpike's rest stops are named after former presidents, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson. I remember that. I used to take the New Jersey turnpikes up there when I lived in Pennsylvania and had to drive into Manhattan and when I lived in New Jersey in the great city of a wee hawkin. And I know that they, you know, millions of people drive that.
Starting point is 00:28:35 parkway every day, I get it. But apparently the service areas are, you know, the place that they want to call attention to the great New Jerseyans in arts and entertainment and sports. But the boss said, ooh, yeah, no, I do not want a toilet named after me. So apparently after his little run-in with the law last year, remember he had the DWI and reckless driving charges, Which were ridiculous, by the way.
Starting point is 00:29:08 I completely agree. And he got off. They gave him a fine, and he pleaded guilty, and we moved on. But the cop who gave him a ticket that day was ridiculous. He took a couple of shots of tequila with some fans. We don't need to break down that whole story again. But, you know, he's had enough in New Jersey. He's the boss that New Jersey loves him, but do I do not want a toilet named after me.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Okay. Okay, thanks for asking. So apparently we don't have a new host for Jeopardy yet. Oh my gosh. This has got to stop. We've got to go ahead and get it taken care of. So I guess this week, LeVar Burton is doing it. I'm guessing it's this week that LeVar Burton is doing it.
Starting point is 00:29:56 I'll have to tune in to Jeopardy and see if that's true. But he is one of the people that, you know, people say, signed a petition to get Lovar Burton as a guest host, right? I mean, he really wanted the gig. So fans started this petition, and the producer said, all right, fine. He can do a week. So he's doing it this week, and he said it's been a real challenge. And, you know, he wanted to do it.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Now, we've had, we've seen what a challenge it is. We've had Aaron Rogers and Ken Jennings and Katie Curry and Anderson Cooper. and Maya Malik. You know, so I really think that it needs to be someone not a celebrity. Someone, like, well, that producer guy that did it for them who was so good. I think that kind of person steps in and takes it over and then becomes endeared. This was a good way to actually get past the you don't want to be the guy that follows the guy. Rule of thumb, though, for Alex Trebek.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Because you're never going to replace Alex. Never. But you are going to get someone who will step into those shoes and be there for the next 20 or 30 years, right? And so their viewership is down post Alex Trebek. And so they need to find someone and they need to find someone now. I mean, it's time. Right. It's far enough away from Alex where you get someone in there and let them ride out the numbers being down for a year.
Starting point is 00:31:33 and then they come back because people are fickle and they're like, ah, I like them and it's Jeopardy. Yeah, I remember Alex. He was great, but we moved on from Alex. And I think that's what needs to happen soon. I can't remember the Jeopardy producer's name, though. What the heck is his name? Mike Richards.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Yeah, Mike Richards. He was great. Now, he's the executive producer of both Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. You know, just being a host of Jeopardy, maybe a step down for Mike. I don't know that you host it every day. and be the executive producer of both the show and Wheel of Fortune? Maybe you do.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Maybe you just add it to the day and you move on. That seems like a tough thing. Maybe it's easier. Maybe he gives up Wheel of Fortune and a Jeopardy as far as the executive producer position and then just becomes the host. But he's the guy that's not already this huge celebrity in our faces and to do the job and be the guy that's going to be there for a bunch of people. years and then turn into his own superstardom, not just executive producer.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Anyway, that's just me. You know, me, just a thought from me. Looks as though Apple, Microsoft, and alphabet, you know, Google's parent company. I love how you have to always say that. Had a pretty good profit over the last quarter. I mean, Apple is the world's most valuable public company. and it said their profits doubled or nearly doubled last quarter. iPhone sales jumped 50% and revenue for every major market line grew at least 12% annually.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Microsoft had its most profitable quarter ever, thanks to a greater demand for its cloud computing services and workplace software, uh, CEO of Microsoft, said that Enterprise Metaverse, Enterprise Metaverse on the earnings call, and not even he knew what it meant. Okay. We're not even sure what the Enterprise Metaverse is.
Starting point is 00:33:50 I don't know that anybody knows what it is, but we do know that a lot of the metaverse, metaverse technology is talking about the future of web development, which they're doing now into the, you know, and fourth dimension, which is, you know, virtual and augmented reality solutions. So, you know, maybe all these groups, Facebook, these big companies are all getting into the, you know, Metaverse Enterprise, although CEO of Microsoft said them the other way, Enterprise, Metaverse.
Starting point is 00:34:28 So, all right, all right, fine. and Alphabet said ad revenue increased 69%. Wow. The real highlight was YouTube with $7 billion in quarterly revenue. Wow. It is almost eclipsing Netflix sales numbers. Netflix was $7.3 billion and YouTube was $7 billion. Wow.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Okay. All right. That seems pretty good. That's just me, though. It seems pretty good. So the CDC has come out with their latest guidelines, and that is wear a mask. It doesn't care if you've been vaccinated or not vaccinated, but wear a mask. They also said that it's your fault.
Starting point is 00:35:34 They didn't say this in particular, but they've led you to believe that if you're unvaccinated, it's your fault. You're the one getting sick. You're the one spreading the COVID-19 coronavirus. But that isn't really true since they said that even if you've been vaccinated, you probably are spreading the new Delta variant. So there's that. So just everybody wear a mask, whether you wear. No matter where you're at, you wear a mask.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Okay. And if you haven't been vaccinated, get vaccinated. And don't give me any of your gobbly gook. Just get vaccinated. Get the shot. Get the shot. Now, the Biden administration has also said that long COVID may qualify as a disability. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:36:24 Yeah. COVID-19 long haulers. Wow. Our people who still experience symptoms, fatigue, shortness of breath, coughing months after diagnosis, which researchers are saying is 10 to 3. 30% of the patients that they have suffer long-lasting symptoms? Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:50 So we're coming up, I mean, it's been, this is why they, you know, came out with this, but it was the other day, it was either, I don't know, yesterday of the day before was the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. All right, it was the 26th. So today is, again, if you're listening live, is the 28th of July, 2021. So this is the 26th couple days ago. I don't want to downplay the significance of the Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Starting point is 00:37:24 So, you know, that's the anniversary. And since it was the anniversary, that's when our president decided that those experiencing symptoms that substantially limits one or more major life activities could get disability protections. including protection from discrimination under federal disability laws. So there's that. Lingering effects.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Some long haulers are experiencing cognitive symptoms like memory loss. Researchers are looking into how COVID-19 is affecting the brain and whether it increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease. So if you feel that you are suffering from long COVID, you could, you know, become a part of the American with disabilities act. I mean, if you're actually suffering from this, you should absolutely get all the help you need. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Get all the help you need. Are you going to suffer from discriminating? I don't know. You know, I guess. Okay. All right. if you tell me that you're going to suffer from discrimination, you are. You got me.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Okay. You're right. Okay. Okay. Okay. Leave me alone. I got it. You're going to suffer from it.
Starting point is 00:38:51 You're fine. We got to stamp on your card. Long COVID. You good now? All right. Fine. Wow. Leave me alone, would you?
Starting point is 00:39:01 I mean, I see, I mean, everyone, and I say everyone, not most celebrities, most celebrities, most politicians are all going beyond the, it's your choice, my body, my choice. They're going beyond that now. It doesn't matter. Get vaccinated. And if you don't say, get vaccinated or I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I don't want anything to do with you. I hate you. You're the reason we're all sick.
Starting point is 00:39:33 We'd be in a much better place than the world. specifically here in America and in my town and my neighborhood, if you have gotten the vaccine, then if you don't say that, then we don't want to hear from you. I don't care. We don't want to hear from you. We don't like you. If you say, well, really,
Starting point is 00:39:51 I think everyone should be willing to make their own choice, whether they get vaccinated or not. Hater! Why do you want people to die? I don't. I just want people to, you know, make their own choice. Why do you want everyone to die?
Starting point is 00:40:10 Why? I don't, okay, I don't. I just, I just, I just want people to make their own choice. Liar! Liar! I mean, I don't understand it. I just don't. But that's where we're at. That's where we're at, my friends.
Starting point is 00:40:27 So just be ready to deal with it because it is coming. And it's really already here. You have the governor of the state of Alabama saying it's your fault. You have the CDC saying it's predominantly the people who are unvaccinated that are getting sick, that are dying, and that are spreading the disease. So you have everyone, and you have the president of the United States calling you a stupid if you don't get the vaccine. You're not as smart as I thought you were if you don't get the vaccine. Well, Mr. President, I thought this was still America And we could make her own choices
Starting point is 00:41:08 And I really believe that Americans could make their own choice Liar! You want people to die! No, I don't really. I just want people to be able to make their own choice. No, you don't! Okay, okay. So now you don't need to say, you know,
Starting point is 00:41:26 you're going to be where you don't say anything. They don't want to hear from you. I don't want to hear from you. believe in the American way of making your own choice, we don't want to hear from you. Zip it. Okay? How about you zip it? So my wife started watching this show called Debris, and it's, she was watching it through Hulu, but I guess it's a network show.
Starting point is 00:41:48 It looks like NBC. You know, it looks okay. It looks okay. I'm surprised if, I feel like they haven't spent a lot of money on it. I feel like they were, they've scrimped a little bit of. of money on debris. But I like a couple of the characters that are in it. Jonathan Tucker, and you know him if you saw him.
Starting point is 00:42:13 And Rianne Steele, she's fairly new. She's been in a few other projects. And the other guy that I really liked that was in Bloodline, Norbert Leo Butts. He's great. I have fun. Anyway, so I'm watching the show. And I'm watching, I think it's episode two that she had on, and they have something that takes place in Celine, Michigan. And I've, okay.
Starting point is 00:42:42 And a couple things happened. One, what happened was, is they have these portals that show up. And people are inside these portals, and they're trying to find a way to get them out. And what's happened in debris is that a spaceship blew up, and they're parts of the spaceship is landing on Earth. They're trying to figure out all the powers that it has. You know, it's cloning, and they can move, and they have a way to travel through space. But so they're trying to figure out a way to get these people out of this portal. And they put a piece of the spaceship in this portal.
Starting point is 00:43:16 And then it goes away, and there's the people. And these people have disappeared because they walked into the portal wherever this portal was when they, you know, were there. And there's like seven or eight or ten or eleven different portals that have, that are known in the United States. And so the portal goes away and all these people are standing there. And the one lady says she's from 1976 and she's been missed, you know, she's been,
Starting point is 00:43:41 she doesn't know any time. She looks like no time has passed. Another guy was from 89. And I'm thinking, wow, what, if that actually happened, what an amazing, I mean, you'd have to, you'd need a Simone Biles day for mental health to get back to real life at some point, wouldn't you? I mean, if you'd have to,
Starting point is 00:44:01 Think of that. If you were alive, if you're listening to this podcast and you were alive in 1976 or 1989, the where we're at now in 2021 compared to where we were then is shocking. But you were there. You moved along with it. So you've come along for the ride. If you were to stop and just be frozen in time, and then reappear in today's time,
Starting point is 00:44:35 what a shock that would be. I mean, holy cow. That would be, I mean, you would need a Sima Miles Day, man. You would. And so that's okay. I mean, I just feel like NBC didn't spend a lot of money on the show, so maybe they could, you know, up the money a little bit that they spend on it. But then I got me to one of the people that were missing was from Celine, Michigan,
Starting point is 00:44:59 and I thought I just was reading about Saline Michigan. How do I know that? I mean, I was, it's south of Ann Arbor or whatever. I mean, it's, if you look at the hand, you know, Michigan has your hand. If you hold up your hand, it's right there. Just look right there for those of you watch them. But I was saying, where are I reading about it? You know, they found a lost bird.
Starting point is 00:45:19 There was some pink tropical bird waiting through some watering marshy pond off the side of a road in Saline, Michigan, These bird watchers are all freaking out because this pink bird is lost. And he's this rose seat spoon bill is in Michigan. They don't know why. It's a pink tropical shorebird. And it shouldn't be in Michigan. It's all by itself.
Starting point is 00:45:48 And it's just wandering around and all these photographers are showing up, taking pictures and wondering why it's in this marshland of Michigan off the side of the road when they don't know. know how it got there. Maybe it came through the portal. Maybe there's actually a portal in Saline, Michigan. I don't know. We do know if you believe that birds aren't real, then it doesn't matter because it just showed up and it's a fake bird. And maybe the robot fake bird people didn't realize that. And they said, oh, crap, we sent the wrong bird to the wrong place. Oh, no. Just leave it alone. Nobody will notice. Well, somebody did.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Thank you.
