Starting point is 00:00:00 Is it the matcha, or am I this energized from scoring three Sephora holiday gift sets? Definitely the sets. Full size and minis bundled together? What a steal. And that packaging? So cute. It practically wraps itself. And I know I should be giving them away, but I'm keeping the Summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. I don't blame you. The best holiday beauty sets are only at Sephora. Gift sets from Summer Fridays, Rare Beauty, Way, and more are going fast.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Get full-sized favorites and must-have minis bundled for more value. Shop before they're gone. In-store online at Sephora.com. Blaze Radio Network And now Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher Here we go again Another story about something bad In a canned goods item
Starting point is 00:00:42 So a guy buys a four pack of Bake Beans, the Brankston Bake Beans Okay And he comes home from work He's had him for a week or so he comes home from work He opens up to can
Starting point is 00:00:56 He throws it in the pot Because there's nothing like a hard day's after our days work. A nice big can of baked beans heated on the stove. You know that as well as I do. And then he started heating it up a little bit. And then he looked down into the pan and realized there was an eyeball in with the beans.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Now, okay. Was there? All right. Now, there's a picture of a bowl of baked beans. with an eyeball. That will be the picture that I post to let you know when the podcast is up today. I promise you, for those of you that follow me
Starting point is 00:01:43 on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR, Instagram, and Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. You will see the first picture of the bowl of baked beans with the eyeball looking back at you. However, so this guy says, I'm usually a pretty strong stomach guy, but this one, this one really kind of turned my stomach.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Did it. Okay. I mean, did you eat any of the beans that were aside from the eyeball? You know, I mean, just let slide the eyeball. It's kind of like the little piece of pork that you get with the pork and beans. Nobody ever eats that. You just throw it. Wait, do you do?
Starting point is 00:02:18 Oh, okay. Never mind. But most people just, you know, put that off to the side and don't eat it. Because, first of all, is that really pork? There's another investigation. that needs to happen, is that really pork in the pork and beans? And is that misleading in the can of pork beans? Let's say it's pork and beans.
Starting point is 00:02:38 But all you get it is, it is pork and beans, but it isn't pork and beans. You know what I'm saying. It's pork and beans, but it isn't pork and beans. Yeah, yeah, that's right. So anyway, so this guy takes a photograph and he contacts the company and, you know, says, I've owned an eyeball and my baked beans. So now the investigation is underway. Now the company said they're currently looking into this,
Starting point is 00:03:04 along with the relevant authorities. I like that answer. The relevant authorities means that if you're trying to scam Brankston baked beans out of some cash and besmirching our good baked bean name by saying there was an eyeball in it, we're going to go after you. Now, according to a spokesperson for Brankston, they said the photograph would appear to show mold
Starting point is 00:03:32 that will have developed due to a small perforation that has allowed air to enter. Damage to a can such as this is rare occurrence and most likely have happened when the can was in transit or in the store. He doesn't say this, but what he's saying is there's no way in hell that happened at the plant, okay? We don't have a one-eyed guy walking around the plant.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Maybe they do. Maybe, I mean, now they do. They just threw the one-eyed guy. And what's in the other cans of that? I mean, holy God, we need a Brankston bean recall. Because maybe the rest of the body is broken up into the whole lot of that baked beans. I mean, now we're going to... I could have eaten a finger.
Starting point is 00:04:21 I'll just think of the part you could have had. Nah, don't worry about that. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So this is just a helpful hint from chewing the fat. From me, Jeff Fisher, here at Chewing the Fat, to you. Always make sure when you have your laptop in front of you and you're working and you've got it plugged in, that it is actually plugged in. And that the power strip that it's plugged in is actually turned on.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Now, this laptop that I have here, this, whatever it is, what is this? It's a Windows. It's a Surface, right? Microsoft Surface Pro, yeah. And I like it. It's fine. I like it. I like it how it disconnects from the keyboard,
Starting point is 00:05:03 turns into a tablet. I like it. But I, you know, so the plug for it, though. And I'm down a plug too, by the way. I'm only down to one plug now. I do not like that, Sam I am.
Starting point is 00:05:16 But, so when you plug it in, the light pops on and let you know that it's charging, right? So if you plug it in and it's along the side, so unless you specifically look to see if that light is on, you don't know whether the strip is plugged turned on or yesterday. I was just reminded of this talking to Chris about making sure that this was plugged in
Starting point is 00:05:39 because sometimes I forget to make sure the strip is turned on so it just shuts off. You know, boom. And so yesterday I'm at the desk in the home studio. And when I bring the laptop up, I plug it in back behind a printer in the office and, you know, string it over to the desk. And so my wife was in there doing something over there and whatever the hell is she was doing over there. And I said, hey, plug this in.
Starting point is 00:06:09 And so she reaches behind the printer and we're good. Slapping on, you know, I'm working. All of a sudden, I'm like, what the hell? And I'm really concerned because I'm only down to one charger now that if this charger goes, I'm done. I got to hunt down another charger. I don't know where you'd get those Is there a thing that you can get new chargers anywhere in America?
Starting point is 00:06:33 I don't think there are. I think they're all stuck on ships now. I don't know. I don't know if Amazon has them or not, but we'll find out when this one goes out, I'll tell you that. So I realize that my wife has plugged it in in the back, but she plugged it into the two wrong holes on the strip. It's really strange.
Starting point is 00:06:52 I know. Don't look at me like that. She put it in the wrong hole. I can't help that. Well, anyway, so, I mean, I'm just being careful now. It's a helpful hint for me to you here on Two in the Fat. At all times, make sure that your laptops are properly plugged in and charging. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Did you see where the United Airlines executive that has been missing for more than a year was just found? And it was sadly, I mean, he was found. and he had apparently committed suicide. So he went missing more than a year ago. They finally, a year later now, they just found his human remains hanging in the forest. Holy cow. Well, first of all, stop for a moment
Starting point is 00:07:46 and think about coming across that. Okay. Now, I just, I was just, I know, hell is that dad so apparently i got to stop i'm not laughing at the sadness of the story okay it's laughing about thinking about running across anyway so he went missing apparently he was under investigation and life was you know coming to you know an end and he thought everything was over and he just disappeared and they found his car his vehicle was found parked outside of this nature preserve. But they never
Starting point is 00:08:28 found his body. They searched this 2,500 acre 4-mile square forest. And they searched it for months. Now, according to the searchers, the area has a dense tree canopy with very thick briars and dense vegetation.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Oh. And it was not near where police found his vehicle. Oh. Okay. So oh well who's left them hanging out there for a year all right
Starting point is 00:09:00 just really okay so they identified him through his dental records and it's you know very and it brings closure to the family which is you know really good I mean the guy just disappeared right I mean he was in an ongoing investigation
Starting point is 00:09:17 and with from United Airlines nobody has said what the investigation was about it was some criminal investigation but nobody says what it's about. Even in the story they talk about, wow, he never did say what it was being investigated about and the company says they can't talk about it.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Oh, okay. I mean, can we talk about it now? You know, I mean, the guy's been missing for a year, and now we know where he is and where he's been. Can we talk about what he was being investigated for? but he just, he went, was going about his life and then he just disappeared and apparently went out into the forest
Starting point is 00:10:00 and hung himself. Now, as a, as a, as a murder show aficionado, is it possible that he did not commit suicide? And he's been held hostage
Starting point is 00:10:20 for this past year. And they finally just, ended his life. Hung him out in the woods. Or, I mean, I guess you'd kind of know that by the... Dad, what's that hanging up there? I shouldn't have done this story. Never mind.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Okay, so they searched for this guy for six months. Six months. Now, that's amazing that they didn't find him. I know I said I shouldn't have talked about the story, but I can't get out of my head. So it's in a park, this waterfall Glen Forest Preserve in DuPage County, Illinois.
Starting point is 00:11:10 So he was last seen in his home in Elmhurst, blah, blah, blah. But they searched for him for six months. They sent out multiple search parties. Dogs, drones, helicopters. All of those people should be fired. The dogs, I have a nice day. Goodbye. Take care.
Starting point is 00:11:35 You know what? We don't need your help anymore. We're going to get some new dogs. Are you kidding me? Come on. The guy is hanging from a tree. Got to be something dripping down, right? I mean, the dogs, I got to smell something.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Right? Am I wrong? All right, I'll let it go. I'll let it go. I'm just, it's incredible. We didn't find this guy for a year. And I realize that the area has a dense tree canopy and very thick briars and dense vegetation. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Did the dogs decide, man, that's too thick over there? Nope, not going over there. I'm going to look over here. I didn't find them over here. Give me a break. I can't. maybe the dogs were thrown off by the way different bushes smell. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:40 I don't know. I mean, we know that we have, we just, there's plants out there that emit bad odors, right? There's the, uh, the corpse plant that we talked about. That one just, that one just went up in San Francisco, right? At the, there was a broken down gas station or something. Everybody went to see the wayward corpse plant. It's blooming in San Francisco. Now, in Europe, at the University of Leeds Botanical Garden in the Netherlands,
Starting point is 00:13:15 they just had the amorphalphalos. Amorphalus. Yeah, that's what I said. The amorphal phallis, Dica Silve, bloom at the botanical gardens. Now, the Amorphapalus Is also known As a rare
Starting point is 00:13:39 penis plant Now I can call it that Or I could just call it Amorphapalus I'm not sure which one I like better Penis plant Or Amorpha phallis
Starting point is 00:13:59 So the last time that one of these plants Bloomed at the Liden Hortes Botan was in 1997. It was a different plant, though. This is a young one, six years nurtured by a botanical garden nurturist. And I thought, is that the same as the corpse plant? Because it talks in the story how it, the pungent smell that it,
Starting point is 00:14:37 that it releases when it blooms. And so this one is six and a half feet tall. I mean, that's a pretty big. Amorpha fallis. You know what I'm saying? And the picture of all the people standing around taking pictures, mostly women, by the way, standing around taking pictures. Oh, look at that.
Starting point is 00:15:05 I wish, I wish Billy was. I wish Billy was like that and more of a. Amorphapalus. Oh, yeah. A good thing. He doesn't smell like this, though. So anyway, they're cousins. Or they're related.
Starting point is 00:15:22 All right. The amorphalus is related to the giant. It's called a... Amorphalus. Titanium. That's the giant penis plant. It's related. to that. It's not that, though. This is just, this one is just the little old.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Amorphophallus. Yeah. It's not the titanium. Amorpha fallus. Or the corpse flower. So it is. They're just related to the corpse flower. So they both grow big and smell when they bloom. And it's also related. Now, I don't know that I've ever seen. These are all from the Indonesian rainforest where they're, you know, where they're known for. but this one. Now we've seen the corpse flower or the amorphalus titanium in California.
Starting point is 00:16:17 That one went off. Now this one in the Netherlands is just a little amorphalus. But there's also another one that is the Amorphapalus. Gigas! So, I mean, I guess that's the giant, giant penis plant?
Starting point is 00:16:42 I don't know. The G-I-G-G-A-S. It's the... Amorphapalus. Giggas. I like titanium better. Titanium sounds like, that's the giant penis plant. Amorpha-falis.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Yeah, the giant morphal. So maybe the dogs were smelling that. I don't know if Illinois has that. or not. They do have one. A corpse flower does bloom at the Chicago Botanic Garden. So maybe, I mean, the pungent smell could have reaped over to whatever county they were in. What is that DuPage County there in Illinois? There's one in New York Botanical Gardens and the one U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington. So I guess the gas station in San Francisco doesn't count as a botanical garden. But there's one there too.
Starting point is 00:17:32 So again, they won at the gas station, I think, is the titanium, right? Because they called that the corpse flower, the giant penis plant. So the one in California, I've got to look that up. Yeah, so the one in California is the titanium, which is the giant. Amorphophalus. Penis plant. And so the one in Netherlands is not a titanium. It's just a regular.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Amorpha fallus. So congratulations. But the point is, is perhaps the dogs were smelling that and that's how they missed the United Airlines guy. Possible. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh, man. I will say, I continue to try to like the new Coca-Cola Zero.
Starting point is 00:18:33 and while I enjoy the cold beverage, I don't get the refreshing after the new Coca-Cola Zero. Very disheartening. So anyway, sad news yesterday. More sad news, actually. Every day is just some kind of sad news. What is going on with the world? We need something to uplift us.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Why don't you just do something that would uplift us on the show then, fat man? No, I can't. do that. So, uh, Keemstar, those of you that know Keemstar from a drama alert nation on YouTube, he's retiring. I know. I was sad too. The guy drives me crazy. All right. My son got me watching him. Uh, it's called drama alerts on YouTube as Keemstar. I don't know, he's got, I don't know, six or seven million followers. And, you know, he's a huge YouTube guy. And he, he, in his drama alert and he does, you know, stories about inside YouTube, what's going on. And I love the whole premise.
Starting point is 00:19:36 I love the idea. He's a little, I never like the way he did. Let's get to the news. You know, the way he does it. But, you know, it works for him. Anyway, he's retiring. And I watched his video of him retiring because I thought he was going to say, oh, I'm retired.
Starting point is 00:19:54 I'll be back in a year. I just need some time off. He's had enough. And he gave a really heartfelt reason why. And he's looking for a replacement. So he's still going to keep the drama alert. alive. He's going to look for a replacement, which, you know, would be a good gig, actually. And I've got a couple ideas of who should do it and how they should do it.
Starting point is 00:20:14 And Kim started, Kim, give me a call. I'm here for you, man. But one of the things that he talked about was struggling with YouTube and how they changed, how the algorithms kept changing and what a struggle it was and how much work it was and how much work doing the show is. you know, he said he just wants to get out of the house once in a while. He's out, you know, the show's 24 hours. He's always working. He's always inside the house. And, you know, so he wants a little, amazingly, he wants to work on some other stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Oh, like his YouTube channel has been 14 years. But the drama alert stuff, I think, has been seven or eight years. But the amount of downloads he's got, I mean, has provided him a pretty good, living. So I'm sure that while staying in the house is difficult, I'm sure the house is not the single wide of the back curve of the trailer park lot. So he's probably okay. I don't know that though. I don't know that. Anyway, Kim, good luck. Bless your heart. I hope you find somebody new that can take your place. And I think my plan is for Kim Star though, really, everybody. Everybody's going to try to be him.
Starting point is 00:21:34 That's a mistake. Because he's, you know, everybody is going to try. You, let's get to the nose. Let's get to the nose. You need to do it different. And I got a couple ideas of how to do it that I think would be enjoyable for YouTube and for Kempstar.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Again, call me. That's what I am. I'm an idea, man. That's what I am. It's all I'm an idea, man. Dune. We talked about it on Monday. For those of you listening,
Starting point is 00:22:02 today is the 27th of October 2021. And Dune dropped this past weekend. And I gave you my review on Monday. And so you go back and listen to the podcast. I don't want to give you the entire review like I did on Monday. Holy cow. I mean, hours and hours review on Dune. But they finally, I don't know why they waited.
Starting point is 00:22:30 The reports were that they were waiting to see if it was going to be a hit before they greenlit a part two. How we talked about it on Monday? I was like they really, after they made everyone aware that this eight hour long movie was part one, they should have immediately said,
Starting point is 00:22:50 well, part two is coming. But they didn't. I guess it was just exciting to find out if it's actually going to happen or not. So they finally, yesterday said, Oh yeah, we greenlit. New, dead. 2023 for Dune 2.
Starting point is 00:23:07 So we'll see if that actually happens. I don't know. You might be, it might be, well, yeah, we said 2023, but one thing led to another. Scheduling conflicts. Somebody fired a gun on set. We got to close this thing down. Holy cow. Man, the nightmare, it seems to be getting worse.
Starting point is 00:23:32 that too from Alec Baldwin's movie Rust, the shooting and you know it's horrible what happened but the mistakes that happened that led to this shooting and
Starting point is 00:23:48 death and wounding of another human really is unforgivable I don't know that I don't know that you get past that And somebody needs to be held accountable. And I don't know who that is.
Starting point is 00:24:07 And maybe somehow they all will say that, well, we all feel accountable. This is bad. It's a terrible thing. First of all, do you? Oh, I know what you say. But it's really, I mean, Hollywood has taken a, and as well, they should. I mean, I've heard from different actors that are saying how bad protocol was. and how, you know, it goes from the prop guy to the director to the actor and everybody
Starting point is 00:24:40 double checks and triple checks, everything. And I heard one actor say, you never point a gun at another human being. Well, that's not true either. But we'll see what happens. I mean, the reports were that there was a crap show on set and that they were using the weapons for target practice. between scenes and lunch breaks and that the gun you know it's just someone needs to be held accountable damn it i don't know who that is but somebody better be held accountable
Starting point is 00:25:19 yeah oh no this is a close set no see that's not funny that's a little fun so did you see where the Victoria Secret bottle was talking about what she called, oh, she said her therapist. Her therapist called what she was taking bathwater meth. And I thought, what is
Starting point is 00:25:51 bad? I mean, I know a number of things about drugs. Stories I've read. That's, you know, that's how I know about them. Now, she claimed, she did, of course, this was an interview in a podcast, not mine. And she talked about how she was part of Victoria's secrets
Starting point is 00:26:12 and how she got her wings and then left. But she said that, you know, how body image pressures pushed her over the edge a little bit. Beyond dieting and exercising, the model said she also saw a nutritionist. Now, personally, I want to see this nutritionist myself. I think it's time. I think it's time I break down and see this nutritionist.
Starting point is 00:26:39 This nutritionist started her on a diet pill called Phentermine. In the story, it says an amphetamine-like prescription appetite suppressant. Yes, I know what fentarine is, okay? I didn't know that it was called Bathwater Meth, though. I did not know that. Now, the fentormine, I know what you're saying. Wait, wasn't that taken off the market? Because that was in Fen-Fen.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Aha. No. Fen-Fent had Fentermine and the other Fenn was Fenn-Fluerbine. Okay? So the one Fenn that was really the one that was canceled
Starting point is 00:27:29 in the Fenn-Fenn wasn't the Fenn that she was taken. All right, wasn't in the Fenn. offend that she was taking. But I remember a friend of mine used to take these
Starting point is 00:27:45 appetite suppressant pills. They were blue with white specks. Oh man. Oh man. My friend really liked those a lot. And I don't know if those were fend, fend, or if they were fenn or the other fend. But
Starting point is 00:28:04 they were fend. I'll tell you that. and my friend really liked that particular fan whether it was the fan or the fan or the fan fan no one supports zoos more than this show chewing the fat I'm the number one supporter of zoos across America if not around the world Now we also know that the Louisiana Audubon Zoo is joining the list of plenty of other zoos and aquariums across the U.S.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Vaccinating resident animals against COVID-19. Now, we do know that we have Australia vaccinating koalas against chlamydia. There's some serious koala business going on in Australia, and they are vaccinating them with, against chlamydia. A bunch of the koalas actually, I wasn't going to do this story, but a bunch of koalas have chlamydia. And just so you know, that's not
Starting point is 00:29:27 preferential if you're a koala. To be honest, it's not preferential if you're a human. I'm just throwing it out there. All right? Just letting you know that. Do you realize Australia has lost almost a third of its koala population
Starting point is 00:29:43 in three years? Chlamydia is doing some distance on these koalas, man. So you know, as well as I do, I have to tell you that chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease. Hello. But it's being widely spread through the koalas. And I don't know if the koalas end up, you know, sneaking into another area of the zoo,
Starting point is 00:30:09 if they, you know, are having business with, let's say the koala sneakers. up behind a tiger or a whatever and a giraffe. Let's say you walk by and you see a koala on the back of a giraffe. Does a giraffe get chlamydia too? I guess. So, and it could be spread to the newborns
Starting point is 00:30:33 from the mothers who are pregnant. Oh, it is not good. So they are busy taking care of koalas in Australia. I'm just saying. And they're also taking care of, you know, the animals back here. in America for COVID-19. It doesn't say anything if they're doing, you know, multiple vaccinations in Australia.
Starting point is 00:30:53 I mean, if you're a koala and you've got chlamydia, are you worried about COVID-19? I don't know. I don't know. If I was suffering from chlamydia again, if I was suffering from chlamydia again, I wouldn't be worried about COVID-19. But I guess once you get it taken care of,
Starting point is 00:31:14 everything's a bother. isn't it? We all have to be worried. Now, in Louisiana, New Orleans, Louisiana, to be exact, they now have a Samatran.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Why can I ever say that right? Samatran. Arangetang expecting twins. Now, remember, we talked to the people at the Waco Zoo. I think it was the Waco Zoo. Right?
Starting point is 00:31:43 That we were having the babies, the orangutan was having the baby? I think it was the Waco Zoo. And it was great. We talked to the lay that was right inside with the orangutans and the mother was suffering. But then we found out that they were training, I don't think this was at the Waco Zoo,
Starting point is 00:32:01 but they were training they, the animal experts, were training the orangutans to speak. And we had the one that was actually speaking to us. I know, you can't get them to shut up. and then they said Okay, okay, maybe it's chlamydia. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:28 We'll get you vaccinated. I mean, you can't get them to shut up once they get sick. So we have twins coming to New Orleans. Hopefully the orangutans will, you know, not be sick. They are critically endangered species. So there's that.
Starting point is 00:32:48 And you know, that whole endangered species thing. That really gets me. Now, they just took an animal off the endangered species list. Now, you think that could happen to other animals? Yes. I mean, we find new animals all the time. We just found another species of animal. We didn't even know existed that they found in the ice somewhere.
Starting point is 00:33:15 They have no existed. Oh, we didn't even know that was around. So I guess that's extinct now too, but now we think it's cool because we found it. So what? Animals, animals live and die. That's what they do. They're animals. Something else will come along. Now they just took off what I was thinking of is the fish. They just took off the endangered status. Some rare Colorado basin fish called the,
Starting point is 00:33:47 humpback chub but today is full of we have the amorphapalus and now we have the humpback chub I mean that's a busy show for you today
Starting point is 00:34:00 anyway no no we're not going to talk about the amorphalus amorphalus amorphalus oh yeah Titanic
Starting point is 00:34:15 the giant gigas Oh yeah Sorry, baby I'm just the humpback chub Oh, stop My point is I took it off the critically endangered species list
Starting point is 00:34:36 It happens It's just amazing to me That's all It's just amazing to me Although I see also That we're losing We've talked about this before On this show
Starting point is 00:34:47 About losing the American bumblebee. All right. So I think I mentioned this last week sometime, but we never got into it really. That apparently the bumblebee has nearly vanished from eight states. Now, are they just moving? I mean, are they,
Starting point is 00:35:07 are we just setting up new hives? We have real estate hive agents. I trust.com for these bees? I don't know. I'm just asking. So the American bumblebee, the bombus Pennsylvania. That's what I said, the American bumblebee.
Starting point is 00:35:30 That's the official name. It's called. Bambas, Pennsylvania. Yeah, that's what I said. So once apparently abundant and found lazily floating around in grasslands, open prairies, and some urban areas, throughout the U.S. Now face a rapidly declining population.
Starting point is 00:35:54 This is now going to be an endangered species. What? The bumblebee? Come on now. Okay, well, I'm sorry, it's not going to be endangered. It's going to be protected. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:36:11 So according to this now, in New York They have declined 99% In the Midwest and the Southeast population numbers have dropped by more than 50%. So they are just moving
Starting point is 00:36:37 south-southwest Okay, so great. They're here. because I know I still see bumblebees here in the great state of Texas. So, great. Move out. Go back to where you came from. Get out of here, okay?
Starting point is 00:36:58 But anyway, just, and when you see the American bumblebee. Yeah, the American bumblebee, the... Bumpet Spencer Vinicus. Yeah, she's jumping the gun all the time. She wants to just keep talking about it. I got it, okay? It's a bumblebee. It's the American freaking bumblebee.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Yeah, I got it. Okay, enough. Ah, okay, so just know that you should pet them and make them feel good. And they, you know, there could be an endangered or protected species very, very soon. I think the queen is about ready to die. I know. And for those of you listening here in America, and saying to yourself,
Starting point is 00:38:00 so? She's Queen the Queen. That's Queen Elizabeth. Don't give me your so. That's why we left them and not have to worry about the Royals. I know.
Starting point is 00:38:14 I got it. But I don't want to see the Queen go. Most importantly, I don't want to see the Queen go because Charlie's going to be in charge then. And, oh boy. Oh, boy. So now, I mean, the queen was, we had the story a week or so ago where they advised her to drop her daily cocktail.
Starting point is 00:38:38 I don't know how big the cocktail was for the queen every day, but maybe it's like maybe you ought to cool off on the pitcher of booze every night, little bit. What do you think? I don't know. I just, I don't know how big of the cocktail it was. Apparently they claim that she's, that's her evening, drink, usually a martini.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Oh, okay. You know what? I grew up with a lot of guys that had an evening drink that was a pitcher, a booze. One guy, one friend of mine's dad, he'd come home every night, and that pitcher of martinis, I mean, he'd blended that bad boy every night, man.
Starting point is 00:39:19 He would just be laid out. You know, he owned a shoe store. What's the shoe? Gosh darn it. Buster Brown. He owned a Buster Brown store. I'll never think I love that guy. He was such a great guy.
Starting point is 00:39:33 But every night, man, every night. Pitcher of booze, passed out on the sofa. My other friend, a bunch of drunks, man. My other friend, he would come home and work every day. Mary, do you get my beer? And he would just sit there and get hammered and pass out every night.
Starting point is 00:39:48 He'd be in the living room. He just passed out. And you'd get up work every day, though. Worked every day. The wife didn't work. had six kids. They all went to school. They all got fed.
Starting point is 00:40:02 They all got dressed. I mean, say what you will. But demand worked every freaking day, man. Now, I don't know what kind of life. I mean, you know, he'd sit there at the kitchen table, drinking his beer, listening to Michigan football on the radio on Saturdays, just smoking cigarettes, drinking beer. He's downstairs.
Starting point is 00:40:22 We come to the house. Hello. Hey, Mr. How you doing today? He's downstairs. Leave me a little. own. Okay. Give me a bum of cigarette.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Buy your own. I love this guy. I mean, so I don't know how much the queen is drinking. I don't know that the queen is, I don't know, like the foundry workers that I grew up with. But, you know, it's possible. The queen is just hammered every night wandering. If you lived at where she lived, wouldn't you be hammered every day? Anyway, she just canceled an event.
Starting point is 00:40:58 And it was an attendance at this COP 26, COP 26, which is, you know, a climate conference. And she just got done and she just got done saying that people weren't doing enough. She was pissed. Charlie's been in her ear, man, talking about climate change and what's happening. So she's, you know, all big on climate change. So if she wasn't sick, she'd be at the climate thing. Don't you think? I mean, so it's close.
Starting point is 00:41:28 It's sad. It's sad that it's close. Because we had even, I mean, the whole family, Prince William just said something. I mean, he's in line to be king. And I like him and everything. But he just got done talking about how the billionaire space race, you know, we should be repairing here on Earth
Starting point is 00:41:50 and spending all the money, you know, on the next place to live off the planet. Um, no? How about you don't get to do? choose that. Oh, you do because you're king. Never mind. That's why we don't like you anymore.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Oh yeah, I forgot. So? I mean, the days of the monarchy, the thing is, Chuck might be in trouble. If you really think about it now, when the queen dies, does the monarchy go on? Does Prince Charles get to be king?
Starting point is 00:42:26 I mean, he will be, they may find him in a forest. If they, if the queen dies and England says, the monarchy's done. Have a nice day. Here's your, take your, take 20 million, go live in your castle and get out of here. But anybody else, all these kids and everything, nah, you're done. I mean, Prince Charles will. They'll find him in a forest. And he's been waiting to be king forever.
Starting point is 00:42:54 and he gets that, holy cow, that would be a nightmare for, you know, Charles. I don't want to see him found in a forest, but it would be worth seeing him the frustration that would bring him because he's struggled his whole life.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Mom, not giving up the throne, he's next in line to be king, and he's, you know, what, he's 100 now, mom's 200, he's hanging in there. I mean, he could die first. You don't know, Charles could, you know, tip over today. I mean, and then we don't question William if that happens, but just saying.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Anyway, so William is just as bad as dad and grandma. They're all freaking nightmares. It's a good thing Harry left. He's freaking new trying to be American royalty as it is. speaking of did you see where uh blue origin now everybody you know space x and we've got nassah with the artemus missions but blue origin just unveiled that they're going to launch a thing called orbital reef i know god weightlessness oh jesus no i'm not it's not that kind of orbital reef stop but i will say that when we talk about space
Starting point is 00:44:23 Okay, okay. Orbital Reef, my blue origin. When we talk about space, I mean, we do have to... God. Weightlessness. Oh, Jesus. So I don't know if any of that's going to be happening on Orbital Reef or not, but it's a private space station that's going to be used as a mixed-use business park by 2025. Well, I'm sorry, between 2025 and 2030.
Starting point is 00:44:55 That's what Blue Origin is claiming. That's what Bezos is claiming. So Orbital Reef is, apparently we're supposed to think of it as a starship we work. Oh, where are you working today? Oh, I'm going up to Orbital Reef. I just need a little time off planet. With that can happen, I'm all for it. But if I have to wait for the clouds to pass, it's not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Okay, you're not going to be able to, oh, I was going to go off planet. planet, but there was wind. Oh, no. Oh, no. Damn. So, I guess there's other private space stations are also in the works. Nanorax, a company
Starting point is 00:45:36 space startup called Nanorax announced plans to replace NASA's orbital laboratory with its Star Lab station in 2027. Axiom plans to launch a module to attach to the ISS in 2024.
Starting point is 00:45:52 which will eventually separate it from the station. We've got China. We've got their station up there now. I mean, we're going to have plenty of stuff flying around up there. Best time ever to come up with space trash cleanup. A billion dollar idea from chewing the fat. Have you done it yet? Have you done your startup yet?
Starting point is 00:46:14 I know. I know. I don't want to talk to the mob either, but we may have to because we're going to need somebody to clean up the trash up there. There's satellites orbiting the globe. We're going to have that stuff's got to go. Man, it's got to go because if we're going to have we work off-planet stations, we're not going to want to be worried about running into wayward satellites orbiting the globe, are we?
Starting point is 00:46:40 I don't think so. I don't think so. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.
