So a Louisiana family wakes up with $50 billion deposited in their bank account.

I mean, that made them like the 25th richest family on the planet or person on the planet. Now, you wake up with $50 billion in your account. You know it's an error. And we've talked about this before. Do you take it? Of course. Of course, you don't. Right? I mean, that's illegal money.

But I'm starting to think these banks are doing this on purpose, just to try to catch people. Because this family obviously loved the fact that there was $50 billion, but they knew it wasn't theirs. And they called the bank and they said, hey, hey, hey, this is wrong. There's a big mistake. Can you do something about it? and the bank was baffled and the family was baffled. We don't know how that happened. And the bank said, oh, okay, well, we got it.

And so the hold was placed on the account, which is, I mean, the bank, come on now, you put a hold on the account, I guess maybe because they're concerned about someone else moving more money around than they don't know about. But if you woke up with $50 billion, that's not $10 million, that's not an extra or $5 million, $50 billion into your bank account. Holy cow. That would be tough not to take. Actually, I think it would be tougher not to take a million than it would be to take, you know,

50 billion. Because if it's 50 billion, that's going to be a mistake somebody's going to catch right away. But a million, they might not catch that right away. You might get away with that. Eh, that maybe not. But I'm thinking that they're doing it on. purpose to try to catch people. And that, that's just darn right wrong.

Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So if you woke up with $50 billion in your bank account, what would you do with it? Well, we found out that MGM is looking to sell the Mirage in Vegas. And there also, there's another hotel for sale in Vegas as well. And you can probably pick that up for $5 billion, maybe, right? I figure you get, MGM operates the MGM Grand, the Belagio, the Park MGM, New York, New York, Excalibur, Mandalay Bay, Vodara, area, Luxor. According to their guy, we have enough of Vegas.

Yeah, no kidding. So you get the Mirage, 3,000 rooms, 77 acres of land. Former home of Sigmund and Roy. I don't know why that's such a big deal. And it's got the secret garden and the dolphin habitat on site. It's been the home of Cirque to Saleh, Love, which was the Beatles Cirque show. So, I mean, it provides, according to their person, it provides attractive development opportunities to capture large amounts of foot traffic. We're certain it will remain a success with a new operator in the future.

Oh, okay. So Caesar's Entertainment has also been on what they're calling a roller coaster ride. They went into bankruptcy, and they're looking to reduce some of their Vegas properties. Caesars owns the Flamingo, Harrah's, Bally's, Planet Hollywood, Paris, Las Vegas, the Cromwell, the Ling, and the Rio. Now, the Rio is just off the strip. The Rio is the dump. that's probably the one they're trying to get rid of but if you're uh if you have woke up with 50 billion in your bank account

i mean you could head to vaga and don't gamble it away i mean you could buy some property and then at least you could make some money when the bank says hey that was uh 50 billion dollars that wasn't yours that was ours oh well gosh darn it i'll pay you back i'll give you you know, 40 billion right now, but the other 10, you're going to have to wait a little bit because I've made an investment into the mirage here on the strip in Vegas.

That would be a battle royal. That'd be fun to watch. So we know that Alphabet, the parent company of Google, surpassed $2 trillion in market capitalization this week. Just in case you were, you know, wondering. So this makes Alphabet the third U.S. company to be inducted into the trillion dollar club.

Apple and Microsoft is the other one. Its value doubled during the pandemic, which is incredible. And so it's stock surge of 70% this year's number one among the five biggest U.S. tech stocks by revenue. YouTube brought in $7.2 billion in ad revenue. I think we talked about that, which was up 43% from the previous year. And that was more than Snapchat, Twitter, Pinterest. and LinkedIn combined.

Wow. So, you know, but when you break it down and then you start looking at Google, I mean, we're finding out now they're telling you maybe you ought to get rid of that Google app on your Android phone. And maybe you ought to get through that Chrome app. It's a Google app, but it's Chrome from Google. We know that, you know, they're working on privacy and security. Facebook took a big hit, not too bad, not too long.

ago because of their, you know, their app on your iPhone and it tracks your location and data on your phone, even if you specifically set your iPhone to never allow tracking data, but if the Facebook app is open, then they're still tracking it. And so, you know, iPhone, obviously and Apple have tried to, you know, put an end to that, but they've changed their privacy practices and there you can grant permission to third-party apps to track your location. data or not, but Andrew users and users who have Chrome installed on their phones are

having their location data gathered by default, even when browsing is set to private or incognito mode. Even worse, while Facebook was collecting this data for its own uses, which, you know, I, you can make the argument that it wasn't just

for their own uses. Google makes this highly sensitive location data available to any site that asks, Oh, really? So if they just want to know, they can get that information from you. So your phone collects this data by using what is known as the accelerometer, accelerometer. And it allows navigation apps like maps and waves to function and provides a valuable service,

a valuable service to drivers who use their phones as navigation devices. And obviously, I mean, I do. And I get a maps update, I think once a month. It might be weekly, but I see the email come through about this is where you've been in the last. I think it is a month each month. It's where you've been the last month. That's nice of my thought. And I appreciate it.

And do I look? I do look at it. Because I travel. Man, oh man. You can't. You can't stop me. I couldn't be able to tell you that I went to that Wendy's and that Walgreens. I wouldn't be able to tell you that.

So I know that a lot of people depend on those services. I get it. But apparently the mobile browsers were allowing sites to access your phone's accelerometer allowing you to get that data without permission. That's what iPhone put a stop to and said, hey, maybe we ought to stop that third party stuff. But according to a report from Forbes, Chrome on Android still does not have. such protection for users so Google said hey yeah we allow users to opt out of

sharing this location data by default this location sharing remains on and further even if you go into your phone and attempt to turn it off your phone will provide you with a warning that will attempt to change your mind oh okay so Chrome right now is the only major browser that has yet to stop site cross-site checking So, I mean, just incredible. And if you don't like it, then you need to delete Chrome. And just you can disable, you know, the stock browser in your settings.

I mean, that was part of the deal, right? With Google and Chrome being already available on the Android phones. That was part of the European lawsuit. And so, I mean, it's already a done deal. And by the way, it works tremendous. And of course it does. And that's what makes it so dangerous. because it's the best, or at least it certainly has been in the past.

And it's a little frustrating to think that you're going to have to use something else when they've made that so easy. It's just convenient and it's right there. And you can just use it and it's just there. And it remembers everything. It remembers where you ban. It remembers what you're doing, what you've searched for, keywords. And sure, you can delete it every now and then if you want to,

get rid of your history or you want it to just get rid of all the cookies. I get that. But why? Why would you want to do that? It's just convenient. Oh, and one of the things that we didn't get a chance to mention yesterday, we, me, more than a dozen lawsuits have been filed against the event organizer, Live Nation Entertainment, and rapper Travis Scott, following the music festival that ended in tragedy on Sunday,

eight people between the ages of 14 and 27 died, and over 300 were treated for injuries, 13 of whom were still hospitalized as of yesterday due to the Astro World event. What exactly happened is still being investigated by authorities, fans reported that a stampede crushed concert goers toward the stage during the Travis Scott performance, and scrutiny of Live Nation has focused on two areas so far. The setup, Travis Scott was the only artist

playing during this time slot, meaning about 50,000 festival goers converged toward one stage. No barricades or barriers were used to separate the crowd into sections. Security, because of a shortage of workers, experts told the Wall Street Journal that security personnel weren't adequately trained

to handle the crowd, which was so raucous that the Houston Police Chiefs chiefs said, oh, we got concerned about the energy in the crowd to Travis Scott before his show. That's what the Houston police said. Well, if you're an entertainer, you want the crowd to have energy, right? I mean, you do. So I don't know that that means anything, but I guess it should have.

Live Nation responded by offering to refund all attendees tickets and opening a fund to pay for victims, medical fees. not long after Travis Scott announced, he'd cover therapy and funeral costs. So it's nice of them. The concert promoter, which is the largest in the world. It owns Ticketmaster. It puts on major events all over.

It's been connected to about 200 deaths and 750 plus injuries since 2006. Now, that's kind of, I mean, okay. I mean, they put on all these huge events. and in what a 2006, so 15-year time span? I mean, you don't want anybody to die, but 200 deaths and 56 of them, I think, right? How many people, 58 died at the Harvest Festival shooting in Vegas,

and that's a one-time horrible mass shooting event. I don't know that you can put that on Live Nation. I mean, it was their event, that it happened at, but okay, we're going to put that on them? All right. And I know that apparently they've been cited for safety violations by OSHA, which regulates workplace safety in the U.S. Yeah, no kidding. We know what OSHA does.

Thanks for the article on that. And we know what OSHA does. And I love how, you know, we're trying to make OSHA more important now. Well, I wonder why that is. Just a thought. I don't know. It doesn't matter what that was. And you had the area on Grandes, Manchester.

concert with the suicide bomber that killed 22 I mean those are tough things to put on live nation right I mean there's 70 80 of the 200 deaths put on live nation that's pretty tough to put on to put on live nation and they had a problem at the first astro world festival

in 2019 three people were injured in a stampede there so we'll see what happens they're saying that it It takes weeks for the medical examiners to release the results of their investigation. Travis has canceled his show this weekend at the Day in Vegas festival, where he would have been the only headliner during the time slot. So we'll see what happens with the Astro World event, the tragedy.

But it is interesting that so many people got hurt and so many people died. Wow. I mean, eight people. Eight people died in the crowd? just and we're having a cardiac events really really strange um you i mean this is not me talking i would just guess that perhaps these people may have purchased the same substance from the same dealer may have had something to do with it but what do i know all right let's go to the break room i need something cool to drink desperately oh man

I was just thinking out loud. I'm sure that these people that were part of this show, Astor World, had nothing to do with anything illegal. Nothing. All right. All right. We're in the break room, right? Yeah, I'll get another drink.

Hmm. So good. Rest in peace to Dean Stockwell. Amazing. I cannot believe that this man died. He was 85 years old. You remember him. I mean, he's been in just tons of stuff.

He was, I don't know that he was most famous for Quantum Leap, but I was just looking him up the other day. I was looking at Dean Stockwell thinking, I guy's been in a lot of stuff. And I don't remember, I think I was just looking up quantum leap because I was looking at a story that made me think about Quantum Leap and I was going to try to do a story related to Quantum Leap. But I was just looking up Dean Stockwell, maybe that was a sign.

So if I start to look people up, that means they're going to die. I hope that's not true. But I was looking through his IMDB page. And he's done a lot of stuff. And I loved him as the judge in The Rainmaker. He was the guy, you know, the sick judge in the Rainmaker. I love that movie. Great movie.

And then, you know, he's been in all kinds of television. series, Jag, First Monday, Battle Star Galactic, and he was still working. It's just, you know, he had worked in the last few years anyway. I guess the last four or five years he hasn't really been working, so maybe he wasn't that well. But anyway, Dean Stockwell, 85 years old, just passed away. So rest in peace, Dean Stockwell. You know, I got to get some chewing the fat NFTs out there.

I see where Tarantino, that's Quentin Tarantino for those of you that, you know, just, I just call him Tarant. He's going to auction off seven never-before-seen Pulp Fiction Clips as NFTs. I need to have some Chewere the Fat NFTs. That needs to happen. That needs to happen soon. And we have 13 Marvel movies that are going to be able to be streamed on Disney Plus in a new format called IMAX enhanced. which shows 26% more film on screens. So does that mean I have to have an 85 inch screen in my living room or bedroom to watch the 26% more?

Because I'm not sure that the 32 inch is, I don't think it matters. I know that, you know, size doesn't matter, but it kind of does. Doesn't it? It kind of does. think so. So they worked out a deal with IMAX, Marvel and Disney did, with these living room enhanced versions of the 13 films. Okay, you know, am I excited about it? I guess I'm sure everyone in my family will be excited about, oh yeah, we get to see Shang-chi and Iron Man, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 and Captain America and Civil War.

War and Dr. Strange and Thor and Oregon Rock and Black Panther and Avengers and Infinity War and Ant Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel Avengers Endgame and Black Widow on the Disney enhanced IMAG screen that's going to give me 26% more of the film image on my screen. Okay, great. Thank you. Hey, just a reminder to

donate to my fundraiser for Our Rescue. O-U-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-Sue dot-org. I'm trying to raise money for the relief and the help of people who have been slaves, human slaves. Yes, there are still slaves in today's world and they are used for sex slaves and for just, well, you know what you use slaves for. and OUR rescues them.

But they also, they don't just rescue them and then drop them off and say, okay, good luck, God bless. They help them out. They help them with legal documents and medical and travel and lodging and transportation, education, vocational training, so that they can get back to a real life. And that's, you know, that's helping a survivor. And it takes about $6,000 for one survivor for that to happen in a year. And that's what I'm trying to raise is $6,000. Those of you that have already donated, thank you so much.

So did you see where Don Lemon? Wow, he is in trouble, man. That guy, he is in trouble. He's tried to make this case go away for a couple of years now. And this bartender in New York has sued him. And Lemon has come back and tried to settle with him. And the bartender says money is not what I'm after here. Oh, okay.

His name is Dustin Heise. He was interviewed. Megan Kelly talked to him. And in this interview, he said, I just want to live the rest of my life. I don't want to live the rest of my life in regret. And to have a clear conscience and have closure from this situation. So you want what? You want Don to go crawling to you and say he's sorry?

According to Heist, Lemon has made three separate attempts with nearly half a million dollars to try to settle this case. And so apparently part of that settlement would be for him to be quiet. And Heist doesn't want to be quiet. He said that the, he alleges that Don Lemon groped his genitals, proceeded to shove the foul fingers in Heist's face at a Long Island bar. Heist followed the lawsuit two years ago, and the trial is expected to begin early next year.

Lemon put his hand down the front of his own shorts, rubbed himself, removed his hand, shoved his index, and middle fingers into Heiss's mustache. He intensely pushed his fingers against the plaintiff's face. Head thrust backwards, repeated, do you like a certain body part, or do you like another kind of body part?

And he continued to shove his fingers. Wow, I mean, what a douche bag in a bar. That's what you call Don Lemon. What do you call, Don Lemon in a bar? A douchebag in a bar. And what do you call Don Lemon in public? A douchebag in a bar. Is that a Don Lemon candy bar?

A douchebag in a bar? I was sick of being tired, being called the Lemon drop guy. Lemon called the allegations leveled by Heist in court frivolous and denied any wrongdoing. All right. Good luck. He's tried to settle it, make it go away. And Heist does not want that. to happen and so he's going to continue to take this to court i guess you know you want to go to

court and have your day in court is it worth it you know it is to this guy so good luck god bless i mean we all know leban is a douche in a bar and so i don't know what you get from taking it to court do you still get the money do you still get i mean people already know that he's a douchebag in a bar. So, all right. Good luck, Dustin Heiss. Make it happen. Make Don Lemon, crawl to you and apologize.

And I hope you get a couple of bucks, too. It's the matcha or the three ensemble Cadocephora of the fates that I've been to deniches all time? It's the ensemble. The form of standard and mini, regrouped, call on Ben. And the embellage, too beau, who is practically pre to donate.

And I know that I'd ever be offriar. I'm guard the Summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. I'm just the best ensemble, the Cado of the Fettes see CIFRA. Summer Fridays, Rare Beauty, Way, Cifora Collection, and other

part of Vite. Procurre you see form of standard and mini, regrouped for a better quality of price. on link on Cephora.C. or in magazine. So we're still investigating Rust, right? We don't know what's happening

on the movie set, or the former movie set of Rust. Alec Baldwin says police should be present on sets that use fake guns. make it better, Alec? Does that make it better? I don't know how the investigation is going. I haven't heard any of the latest news updates from the investigation. We'll see if anything comes

of it. I doubt it. I doubt it. We do have another crew member that may lose an arm from the Rust crew. A crew member was bitten by a venomous spider. I know. They know. They're They were closing down the set after the fatal shooting. And this worker was bitten by a venomous spider. And now he may lose his arm that he got bitten by. Holy cow. Did Alec leave that spider there? Was that there because of Alec Baldwin?

Probably not. But he's experienced necrosis on his arm and sepsis as a result of the bite. Holy cow. So I guess a just giving fundraising page has been started for Miller's hospital bills. And according to Sky News, Miller has been hospitalized and endured multiple surgeries each day as doctors do their best to stop the infection and try to save his arm from amputation. Wow. From a spider bite.

If you see a brown spider with a violin shape, on its back. That's what I would do. I would take my shoe and crush it. That's a brown recluse. Most bites are minor. But occasionally, skin around a brown recluse bite will become necrotic, turning a dark color and becoming a deep open sore as it dies.

That doesn't sound good. You can just, you could quote me on that. If you have a bite or a sore that turns dark color and becomes deeper as the open sore dies, that does not sound like a good thing. That's all. That's just me throwing it out there. And obviously, it's not a good thing for him either. I mean, he may lose his arm.

That's really, really sad. Wow. In Pennsylvania, they talked about a brown recluse nest that was found in. the elementary school. No, thank you. No, thank you. Hopefully that elementary school has been burned down to the ground. If they've got a nest, it's time to burn it down.

Time to burn it down. But if you see a brown recluse spider that has the violin look on the top, I would say the best thing that you could do would be to and then be over. Have a nice day. Love you. Oh, my gosh.

Honey, what is that? Is that looks like a brown? Oh, yep, it's gone. Sorry. Yep, that doesn't look good. Sorry. I know, but we shouldn't kill a... Yes, we should.

Goodbye. Have a nice day. Even if it's a mistake. That wasn't a brown recluse. No, I know. I know, but I just thought it was. So... What do you?

going to do. And then we have another crew member for the Indiana Jones 5 crew found dead in Morocco. What is going on with these movie sets? What is happening? We need an investigation. So he was, this worker was found dead in his hotel room. He was camera department pro. He was found dead. He just, and obviously, I mean, he's got a family. And he's got a family. And he's, he was a hard worker and he worked on this film and he's worked on a bunch of films he was 54 years old there the official cause has not been released for his death but they believe that it's natural causes i mean it could be anything else in morocco away from the family could it no of course not so he's worked on Jurassic park harry potter star wars wow that's i mean the

guy's done a lot of a lot of big work big shit big stuff So he was in Morocco. They were assembling to prepare for filming of some big stunt scene using a rickshaw. And he builds these sets and builds equipment for the cameras and stuff. And he's one of the guys that they use. He's the guy. So we'll see what happens after that. I mean, Harrison has been off.

Right? He sustained an injury involving his shoulder that was supposed to be just okay. It was going to be off for a little while. And then, hey, nope. you know what, it's worse than we think it is. It's worse than we had originally thought, Sue, we're just going to go ahead and halt production for three months. While Harrison Ford recovers.

Oh, okay. And then they've got problems with COVID because, you know, people in the UK and Morocco and the flights and flights, some flights have been turned around now. We've got to talk about that too. It was so nice of them to let travel. start up again, really. But Harris, I love the line

in this movie when Harrison was being interviewed. He was asked in an interview, and we may have talked about it before, but I just love it because this is Harrison Ford at his best. He was asked who he thought should play Indiana Jones next. Nobody. I don't, don't you get it? I'm Indiana

Jones. When I'm gone, he's gone. It's easy. You know, that seems right, I guess. Thanks, Harrison. Appreciate it. And since we were talking about it yesterday, the U.S. lifted nearly two years of restrictions on travelers from 33 countries. That includes much of Europe, China, India, Mexico, and Canada.

Wow. So that travel has been restricted since January of 2020. So airlines and hotels could, you know, they're going to be, they're all happy and they're going to be enjoying their boost in booking. You still have to wear masks. International travelers will also have to embrace new travel rules in order to enter the country. You have to be fully vaccinated with it says here few exceptions. I'd like to know what the exceptions are.

And show proof of a negative COVID-19 test within three days of traveling. Unvaccinated Americans and children under 18. can also enter. Oh, if you're an American right. But they'll have to test negative within one day of their trip. All vaccines approved are authorized by WHOFDA, fair game. These rules reportedly apply. Let's see what the exceptions are.

For international travel, you do not have to be vaccinated. Everyone needs to be vaccinated. Yes. With some exceptions, children. one under the age of 18 don't need to be vaccinated, but they do need to take a COVID test. Kids two and younger are exempt from testing

requirements. And I bet you that will change since they just okayed the kids to be able to get vaccinated. So if you're under 18 and not vaccinated and want to travel, and you don't want to get vaccinated. Now's the time. Hop on that plane, baby. All adult foreign nationals traveling to the U.S. fully vaccinated before boarding their flight. Travelers will still have to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test

within 72 hours of departure to the U.S. Wow. Half the world remains unvaccinated, and vaccine distribution has been so skewed to rich countries. Thanks, AP. Appreciate that. The Biden administration is leaving a loophole for people who live in countries where vaccines are scarce.

That list includes about 50 countries. where fewer than 10% of the people have been vaccinated. Travel from those countries will need permission from the U.S. government to come. And it can't be just for tourism or business travel. So we're still going to let you in, but you're going to have to ask, and maybe we're probably going to say no. Which, you know, oh, well, you know what? Sorry.

So the government will permit unvaccinated international visitors to enter the country if there is a humanitarian or emergency reason, such as an emergency medical evacuation. No? How about no to that? If there's an emergency medical evacuation in your country, we'll let you go somewhere else. You don't get to come here.

No, thank you. No, no. You know where it would be a good place for you to go? Mexico. They love you in Mexico. Right? Right. Who's going to enforce these rules? Well, that's up to the airlines. Well, isn't that special? You know, they'll turn the airlines into our vaccinated police. They're going to have to verify

vaccine records and match them against ID. If they don't, they could face fines of up to nearly 35,000 per violation. Airlines will also collect information about passengers for contact tracing efforts. There will be CDC workers spot checking travelers for compliance in the U.S. Wow. So that's incredible. Maybe they're going to use a bunch of that money that they got in the new trillion dollar bill that's supposed to go to airlines. Maybe that's what that's for, or at least that's what they'll say it's for, is for the vaccine enforcement. And that special? Yes, yes, it is. Oh my gosh.

Welcome aboard Air Canada. Rocky's vacation here we come. Whoa, is this economy? Free beer, wine, and snacks. Sweet. Fast free Wi-Fi means I can make dinner reservations before we land. And with live TV, I'm not missing the game. It's kind of like I'm already on vacation.

Nice. Air Canada. Nice travels. Wi-Fi available to AeroPy members on equipped flights sponsored by Bell. Conditions apply. See Air Canada.com. Okay, so we had the spider bite in New Mexico to Jason Miller, the person who was tearing down the rust set. That got led me into thinking about the guy in the Netherlands who had the snake bite on his man part while he was on the toilet.

and he has gone under reconstructive surgery of his man part. I know. No, thank you. Although, thank you. So this man had reconstructive surgery on his man part. After he got bitten while sitting on the toilet from a cobra. So the 47-year-old was on vacation in South Africa at a nature reserve when the cobra came up from the toilet and clamped onto his genitals.

Ouch! Ouch! And that's probably not even close to what it sounded like. So the man waited for three hours to be transported by helicopter to the nearest trauma center. Then, after what the medical journal described as the first case of snouted, cobra Invenomation of the genitals I mean

anytime And I think You can quote me on this Anytime that you have I don't care if it's from a snouted cobra Or an unsnouted cobra Or just one of those everyday Run of the Mill Cobra's

Anytime you have an Invenomation of the genital that's not a good thing. I just, I could be wrong, but I'm just guessing here anytime you have envenomation of the genitals, that's not a good thing.

So, there was a burning sensation, pain. Went through his whole body. He had no kidding. Yeah, oh my gosh. So when they arrived at the hospital, his man parts were all swollen and a deep purple color. Oh my gosh. So he had scrotal necrosis.

Another thing that probably isn't that good of a thing to have. It's just a flesh eating disease. Oh, that comes from a snouted cobra? Is the scrotal necrosis? Holy cow. So they gave him a bunch of nonspecies. Snake Snake Venom Antiserum and

a broad spectrum antibiotics. Yeah, okay. So the scrotal necrosis was reported to involve the entire the entire area and was excised with extensive

margins. The defect in the penile shaft was treated by superficial debridement and a vacuum-assisted closure pump. Nine days later, he returned to the Netherlands, where a plastic surgeon performed a penile shaft debridement

with extensive resurrection of dead tissue, a resection, I'm sorry, extensive, well, it might have been a resurrection too, an extensive resection of dead tissue extended from the corpus spongism to the fold of the Perpetuum. Guessing that's the entire area.

Following a graft from his groin, then placed over his penis. He was re-charged from the hospital a couple of weeks later. In the man's follow-up appointment, doctors found the wounds had successfully healed and functioned and sensation

and his man part had fully recovered. So that is outstanding. I mean, that's American. At what point have we come come by, you can get bit in the man part by a snouted cobra and

not, I mean, if you're still alive, you're alive without your man part. But now this guy, thanks to modern medicine and finally getting to the hospital in South Africa and then finally getting back to the Netherlands for some plastic surgery, this guy

has got everything back up and running. That's awesome. That's awesome, but just remember, man. Holy cow, you do not want none of the snouted cobra envenomation of the genitals. No, thank you. I guess I should say congratulations to Daniel Ortega, who has won again in Nicaragua. And sure, it was an honest and open, fair election. Nicaragua. How dare you think that it wasn't?

So sure, there were a bunch of opposition leaders that were detained and investigated, but it was all because of national security concerns. That's it, though. I mean, hey, Daniel said, as Nicaraguan's, we have a right to investigations against terrorists and defend the peace. So get over it, okay? and me and the wife are going to be running this country from now until I die. Got it? It's just the way it is.

But they're open and fair elections. Don't you worry about it? Did you see where the Navy, the company, I shouldn't say the Navy, really. It was the company who made the steel for the submarines that the Navy uses, the metallurgist, Ah, yeah, I fake the reports. Ah, yeah. Yeah, you know, I just, the metallurgist in Washington State pleaded guilty to fraud after she spent decades faking the results of strength tests on the steel that was being used for the U.S. Navy submarines. Now, she was Elaine Marie Thomas, 67 of Auburn, Washington.

She was the director of Metallurgy at the foundry at the place called the Foundry in Tacoma that supplied steel castings used by Navy contractors and so through 1985

to 2017 she falsified the results of strength and toughness tests for at least 240 productions Oh, that's only about half the steel that the founder produced for the Navy.

That's it, though. So they've tested, the Navy has tested and they didn't say which ones they were working, but the tests were intended to show that the steel would not fail in a collision or in certain wartime scenarios. And so, they haven't had any fail.

She is going to, she faces up to 10 years in prison and a million dollars fine. And the company, who let it be, be known and tried to figure it out. They have been fined like $10 million in deferred prosecution. I mean, I don't know that they were actually trying to hide it. I mean, when they found out about it, they fired Thomas and disclosed the findings to the Navy. But then they suggested that the description, oh, that's why they got in trouble because they said,

Oh, it's not because of fraud. It's just a paperwork mix up. I don't worry about it, but it was because of fraud. Now, she wasn't doing it. See, it's kind of a weird place because while she falsified the tests, she wasn't doing it for anything other than, and she said this, that she thought that the passing grades that the government wanted were stupid. The Navy required the test to be conducted at a certain place.

And she said, those are just stupid. There's no reason for that to be that way. So just pass them. Oh. Okay. So you just signed off on them even if they weren't meeting the Navy's requirement? Yeah, that's stupid. So she felt that the steel was fine.

The metallurg just thought that it was fine. It just wasn't up to. the degree that the Navy had asked it to be. That's still kind of a problem. That's just a little bit of a problem, though. That's it. Don't worry about it. It's still just a tad bit of a problem.

Okay. But speaking of the Navy, we just launched a new ship named after Harvey Milk, the gay rights leader. Congratulations to the Navy. Congratulations to Harvey Milk. And congratulations of the new ship. the replenishment oiler, the USNS, Harvey Milk, sled down the old shipyard ways

after a bottle of champagne smashed it into the bow. And you know who got to smash the bottle of champagne into the ship? Navy officer Paula M. Nira. Congratulations. She's a clinical program director for the Johns Hopkins Center for Transgender Health. That's fan. Fantastic. Congratulations. I'm glad Paula was able as a former Navy officer and who is in charge of the Johns Hopkins Center for Transgender Health was able to use the bottle of champagne to smash against the bow of the USNS Harvey Milk. Congratulations. Man, that is fantastic. I know that there's some transgender issues these days. I mean, I've had this story in my fat pile.

for quite a while where the one lady was saying, one of the lesbian women I spoke to told me she experienced verbal abuse from her own girlfriend, a bisexual woman who wanted them to have a threesome with a trans woman. I can hear their male vocal cords. I can see their male jawline. I know under their clothes there is male genitalia. These are physical realities. As a woman who likes women, I just can't ignore.

My views are now claimed to be extremist, and they're comparing me to far-right groups. So there's unhappiness in the gay land, in the lesbian land, in the bisexual land, in the trans land. Everybody's not just getting along. So we've got trouble. Right here in River City. Capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for pool.

And speaking of trouble in River City, don't forget Talking Walking Dead dropped also earlier today with Jason Butchell, my son Maximus and myself as we talked about Fear the Walking Dead and World Beyond, Walking Dead World Beyond, which was, we got some new information. It was a fun show. Be sure to listen if you're a fan.

It reminded me River City because I don't know what to call this one place in World Beyond. So I called it River City today, which had me thinking about River City and the music man. It's 76 trombones in the big parade, and we've got trouble right here in River City. Capital T, and that rhymes with P. That stands for pool. It's just where my head was at.
