And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.
I was told, briefly, before the beginning of this broadcast, chewing the fat,
that it was National Huey Lewis in the News Day.
I don't know that that's true or not.
But I guess we should celebrate or should we not celebrate?
I'll tell you what, before we get to Huey Lewis and the Newsday celebrations,
let's talk about the Starbucks in Keyes,
Camden County, New Jersey, where the health department's food surveillance unit showed up and they conducted an inspection, which showed no real violations except, you know, one of their employees had hepatitis.
He was exposed to hepatitis.
And if you were there at the Starbucks there in Camden County, you may want to.
get a vaccine. You know, the hepatitis vaccine.
Everyone who went to there while this guy was working was most likely exposed.
They only have about 600 patrons a day and some return a couple times a day.
So the number could, I don't know, go into the thousands.
So right now, about 800 doses of the vaccine have been administered.
But if you are starting to feel a little and you visited the Starbucks in Camden County,
you may want to get checked.
Just saying.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
So last week or earlier this week, things are getting all combobulated.
I don't remember what win or what we.
talked about so just go back and listen to the shows but we talked about the 13 surviving copies
of the original print of the u.s. constitution that was up for bid and the decentralized
autonomous organization d a.O announced that they had put together i don't know they got 40 billion
million dollars with crypto and funding crowdsourcing so that they could buy this
Constitution and the bid happened sorry so bad no you didn't quite raise enough so they
raised 47 million according to them they raised 47 million okay the winning bid for
the Constitution was 43.2 million so it makes me question their 47 million
claim that they raised because you'd think that that would be the you know okay we bid
46 million 99.99.99 that's just your opening bid we start with that all right that's
what we're been but no uh they didn't they lost to ken griffin the CEO and founder of
citadel for 43.2 million
million dollars. Now Ken is worth a little bit more than 43.2 million dollars.
Ken's worth $16.1 billion. So the constitutional DAO couldn't quite hang in the race.
But I was hoping that maybe he bought that for Mercury 1 and he's just going to give it to Mercury 1.
That'd be nice. Probably not though.
You know, it's a hope anyway, but congratulations.
And you've got one of the 13 surviving copies of the original print of the U.S. Constitution.
Kind of cool to have.
Kind of.
That's why I'm hoping he gives it to Mercury 1.
I really have.
All right.
So I was looking at social media accounts.
And, you know, I like my Twitter at Jeffrey Jee.
JFR.
I like my Facebook.
Jeff Fisher Radio.
I like my Instagram.
Instagram is really growing on me a lot.
So, you know, I'm with you on the Instagram.
But I really was surprised at some of the big followers, big platform stars, I should call them.
All right.
So there's a story here that talks about the biggest social media.
accounts by platform.
So you're looking at Instagram,
YouTube,
Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher YouTube channel,
Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio,
Twitter at Jeffrey JFR.
TikTok, I don't have a TikTok.
I don't think I do.
My daughter may have set one up for me,
so there might be one there, but I don't think I do.
Because I didn't, originally I was against it.
I'm still kind of against it.
But the world certainly isn't against it.
So, oh, well, just put the chip in me and move on, okay?
That's where we're at.
So I was looking at Instagram.
Number one, coming in at number one on Instagram.
Ronaldo, 366 million followers on Instagram.
That's not bad.
And the second number two is another huge soccer player, Lionel Messi,
281 million followers.
Then you got Kylie Jenner, 281 million.
The Rock, 278 million.
Ariane Grande, 276 million.
Selena Gomez, 272 million.
Kim Kardashian, 263 million.
Beyonce, 218 million.
Justin Bieber, 203 million.
Those are just a little bit over what Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram has.
I'm getting there.
I'm climbing to those heights,
but these people are almost too good.
It's starting to piss me off.
YouTube.
Now, the number one YouTuber,
aside from, you know,
just a certain person is PewDie Pye, right?
He's got 110 million.
He's the number one guy.
But T-Series and Cocoa Mellon and Set India are all,
you know,
well, they're not over 200 million.
T-Series has 198 million,
120 million to cocoa,
121 million to cocoa,
and set India has 119 million.
But the rest of them are, you know,
like the WWE has 83 million,
Z music, 79 million.
So, you know, Mr. Beast,
another person has 75 million.
So between Mr. Beast and PewDiePie,
those are the only two alone on YouTube.
Facebook, well, the Facebook,
app itself. That's not fair.
Facebook and the Facebook
app has 188 million.
All right. Samsung has
162 million.
Weird. Rinaldo
shows up on Facebook again, though, with
150 million. He's top there.
150 million on Facebook.
366 million on
Instagram. Don't forget. You know how much money
these people are making off a
one post? Oh man. I sure
I'm enjoying my
Jeff Fisher Radio
Sox.
I sure love listening to Chewing the Fat.
Rinaldo should do that, man.
You should hit me up for free on that.
I don't want to pay him for it.
But thank you.
Appreciate it.
Then you have,
well,
Mr. Bean on Facebook.
Shakira has $150 million.
Will Smith, $112 million.
Vin Diesel, $109 million.
And Messe, Lionel Messe,
coming into $105 million on Facebook.
So those two big soccer players,
huge, man.
just unbelievable.
Then you get to Twitter.
Number one on Twitter.
This one hurts a little.
And these are, you know, these are good and bad.
It makes me like, okay, these are kind of cool numbers to know.
And then it's also like, you know, you suck.
So I'm not sure I, you know, and by you suck, I mean me.
Not you.
I know you don't, but me.
Barack Obama.
coming in at number one on Twitter
with 130 million followers on Twitter.
Number two, Justin Bieber, 114 million.
Katie Perry, 109 million on Twitter.
Rihanna, 103 million.
Ronaldo, 96 million.
You can't break 100 million on Twitter, though.
Loser.
Please.
Taylor Swift, 89 million.
Ariana Grande shows up on Twitter with 85 million.
Gaga, 80.
million.
Ellen shows up with 78 million followers on Twitter.
Wow.
And YouTube on Twitter, 74 million.
I know, I know.
Shut up.
And then TikTok.
I mean, TikTok, these guys are making some money on TikTok, no doubt about it.
So this, the number one TikToker, Charlie Diomelo?
129 million?
Then you have, I know I'm pronouncing their names, right, Cabani Lane, I think his name is.
120 million.
Addison Ray, 86 million.
Bella Porch, B-O-A-R-C-H, and I apologize, poric.
Don't laugh at me.
Why are you laughing?
I don't know how to pronounce her name, 85 million.
Do you know it?
Don't shit, yeah, see, yeah, that's what I thought.
Zach King has 66 million on TikTok
I follow Zach on Instagram he's great
he does some really good stuff
Will Smith shows up on TikTok with 66 million
TikTok has 58 million followers on TikTok
Okay
Come on now
You have Dixie DMEO at 56 million
So I guess her and Charlie are battling it out
In separate bedrooms at the house
I don't know
Spencer X has 55
million and Lauren Gray has 54 million on Twitter.
That's, I mean, those are some big numbers for these people.
So Charlie Di Amelio.
Cabby Lane, K-H-A-B-Y-Lame, Addison Ray, Bella Porch, P-O-A-R-C-H.
There you go laughing again.
I don't know why that's so funny.
I think that's her name.
That's Zach King.
But they do not rank.
All the top five on TikTok do not rank in the top 50 of the other social media networks.
That's interesting.
That's interesting.
Collectively, five stars, those five stars have 480 million followers on TikTok, but less than half of the amount of followers across Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
That is interesting.
Isn't it?
That is interesting.
And as interesting as it seems, you know, you get the stories of the behaviors and attitudes of U.S. adults on Twitter, where they, you know, continue to hammer home.
The minority of Twitter users produce a majority of tweets from U.S. adults, and most active tweeters are less likely to view the tone or civility of discussions as a major problem on the site.
Okay, really the translation is that
The other sites other than TikTok
And even Instagram
That's for the old's now
Right?
I mean, TikTok is the new kid on the block
And if you ain't hip, you ain't hip
You can quote beyond that
That's a chewing the fat quote
If you ain't hip, you ain't hip
It's clear
But then I see, as long as we're talking about the internet
I see what happens in an internet minute in 2021.
An internet minute.
Data never sleeps, my friends.
Okay.
And it's incredible what happens on the internet every minute.
So let's start just at the top of the circle, shall we?
Of the second clock.
Google conducts five appointments.
to 7 million searches.
Discord sends 668,000 messages.
12 million people send an I message.
Clubhouse creates 208 rooms.
Ooh, I'd like to check out.
What's going on over there at Clubhouse?
Snapchat sends 2 million Snapchats.
Amazon customers,
spend $283,000 a minute.
People shot six million people are shopping online every minute.
Strava athletes share 1.5,000 activities on Strava.
I'm not sure what Strava is, but I'm willing to share on it.
I'll tell you that.
It's just stop.
Instacart.
Instacart users spend $67,000 a minute.
Venmo users send $304,000 a minute.
Slack sends 148,000 messages a minute.
Zoom hosts 856 minutes of webinars.
856 minutes of webinars every minute.
Okay.
Teams connects 100,000 users a minute.
Netflix
stream
452,000 hours
a minute.
That's amazing.
YouTube users stream
694,000 hours
a minute. They spit on Netflix.
Facebook users
receives 44 million
views a minute.
Wow.
Facebook
shares 240,000 photos a minute.
Instagram shares 65,000 photos a minute.
Twitter posts 575,000 tweets a minute,
and TikTok users watch 167 million videos a minute.
So there's a little bit happening with every internet minute.
Wow. That's, there's so many quick little happening in a minute jokes that I can come to.
You know, I just, I'll let them go. I'll let them go. Let's go to the break room, shall we?
I did something called to drink desperately.
Oh, so good. So good. Oh, who died today?
I don't know if this segment's going to work actually.
feel kind of bad when it's actually when I'm actually talking about death.
Well, I mean, I know the segment is called Who Died Today?
I mean, the segment is called Who Died Today?
But, I mean, I feel bad.
Kind of.
When I started talking about, you know, people who actually died and it's not really a, you know, a little bit of a joke on who died.
So anyway, Dan Aykroyd?
No, Dan didn't die.
brother. I know. Saddy was 66 years old. Peter Ackroyd. He's Emmy nominated, cast member of
SNL. He was part of Second City. And, you know, he's one of those guys that you think,
Peter Aykroyd, he was on SNL. And then when you see him, you go, oh yeah, him. But it's sad.
And they haven't said what he died of yet. So could it be?
COVID?
I thought that was hepatitis.
Anyway, or could it be hepatitis?
I mean, it might have been.
We don't know.
I don't know.
Anyway, rest in peace, Peter Aykroyd.
And, you know, of course, Dan is, you know,
struggling with his brother's death.
I get it.
But, you know, he died.
So he's got to be in my segment.
Sorry.
Can we get back to the internet minute for just a second?
Yeah, rest in peace, Peter.
Rest in peace.
But I want to get back to this Internet minute thing for a minute.
You know, there was a blatant missing category in that minute.
So does that mean that that doesn't exist?
It's just, poof, it's gone.
We haven't shut it down completely.
We're trying, though.
But they can't.
They keep trying.
Well, you know what?
We'll try to figure out ways that people can't pay for.
it. Oh, nope, they can't find a way to pay for it. Damn. All right. Well, we got to figure out
something else. So I'm, you know, is, I'm sure that I, well, let's be clear. I know it takes
less than a minute to view some of the content on those sites. However, and that, it takes
longer than a minute to scroll and find what you need. Right. Anyway, you know what I'm talking.
about. But it's funny how we just, oh, because that just doesn't exist. Oh, okay. Oh, we don't need to know
about that, Jeff. We know it's out there. We just don't need to talk about it. I know, but it's the
chart of what happens in an internet minute. Oh, we can't tell you everything that's on there. So it's
funny how you say that. You can't tell me everything. But then I look at the list of other things that
have showed up in the data that it's appeared on the wheel of the microwave.
Oh, it's not the microwave minute.
That's my bit.
The microwave minute has another joke with that too, but I'm going to let that one go.
Of the Internet Minute.
So I see Tinder showed up.
Oh, that's a dating site, Jeff.
Is it?
Okay.
All right.
You got me.
But then down here at the bottom of the story, it talks about the unconnected people.
not unvexed
unconnected people
in these countries
holy cow
I mean there's some growth
that needs to happen
speaking of those sites not mentioned
India
50% of the population
unconnected
wow
China 41 you know I mean
that China
those people don't exist
don't worry about them
oh okay
and by the way did you see where
Feng Shui showed up.
The tennis pro
Peng Shui showed up
and she said, I'm fine, I'm living in
my home in Beijing.
Are you? Okay.
All right. Good. We're all good then.
Right? It's all good? All right. Thanks, Fong.
Pakistan, 65%
of that country is unconnected.
Wow. Nigeria, Bangladesh,
Ethiopia, DRC, and they're all over 50%.
And the DRC and Ethiopia are over 80% unconnected.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Brazil, 30%.
That's a lot of people, man, unconnected.
That's a growing market to Egypt, almost 50% of unconnected.
So there's plenty of internet-minute growth that could still happen.
right we've got to move on.
Let's talk about this the rest of the show.
And you'd be going, my God, shut up, would you?
There's other stuff to talk about.
She's like the little girl down in Florida.
I've had this story for days, and I can't let it go.
Have you printed it?
I haven't printed it because I was going to do it on the Glenn Beck radio show,
and I still might.
Because the story is drives me insane.
I haven't been filling out, I've been working with Pat all week.
I haven't done it on that show yet.
And it's drive me crazy.
So West Paul is.
Celebrating this little nine-year-old girl.
All right.
What's her stupid name again?
Juno or something.
Journey.
That's what it is.
Juno, journey.
Same thing.
All right, so it's this nine-year-old girl.
Now, it's kind of cool what happened.
So they're, you know, they treated her as a hero.
She got a plaque.
She got a target gift card.
I don't know how much the gift card was worth.
Had to be at least worth 50.
Right?
I mean, you're not giving a target card out for less than 50 bucks to a hero.
So, you know, mom is.
getting attacked, mugged.
They're coming out of a store, and there's video
of it, and this guy runs up behind
mom and starts, tried to grab her purse.
Journey, is that I don't know, yeah, Journey,
June, no, Journey is her name. Journey, Nell's like,
I remember her name, Journey. It's spelled
J-O-U-R-N-E,
Journey, okay?
Whatever, how are you, you name? I don't care
what you name of your kid, clearly.
Anyway, so, Journey,
comes around from behind the car and starts punching the guy and she punches him right in the face
it kind of shocks him and you know that and then he he hits her knocks her down grabs the purse
runs away the little journey chases the guy blocks it says in the story chase him five blocks
and you see some people in the parking lot that see it happening and they kind of are running up
toward it but then once the guy starts running away and the girl starts chasing them they're like eh
And he's gone.
You all right over there?
I mean, they're not chasing after the little kid.
So, and the fuck that the guy gets away.
All right.
So now she's being treated as a hero.
Heroes are supposed to, like, win, right?
That's what a hero does.
Okay, so the girl, the nine-year-old girl,
she attacks the guy that's attacking her mom.
That's cool.
Like, I love that.
You should protect your mother, period.
I get it.
But, I mean, she could have gotten hurt really bad.
And I know in the heat of the moment, you're not thinking about that.
And she's trying to protect her mom.
The chasing after the guy, maybe we need to rethink that journey.
We don't really think about chasing after the guy.
But she chased after him because he got the purse.
All right.
So she didn't stop him from getting the purse.
And the mom didn't stop him from getting the purse.
He still took it.
And it took a couple of days.
They finally caught the guy.
They didn't say whether they got any of the stuff back that was in the purse, any of the items.
They say in the items in the purse was a cell phone, gum, several bank cards, a coach wallet, $40 cash, and her concealed carry.
permit.
Okay?
That was what was in the, but they don't say that they got it back.
They just say that's what he stole.
All right, so it took him two days to get this guy.
And, you know, he was obviously charged with robbery and battery.
All right.
So now the girl is, you know, hailed as a hero.
I mean, the guy still got away with the purse.
Oh, no.
Yes, Corby.
So she has a concealed carry permit?
But no weapon.
What's the point then?
You have a permit?
I mean, maybe she was getting the gun cleaned.
Maybe she, I don't know, maybe she was using a stolen gun and didn't want to say it was in the purse.
Aha.
Aha.
What does that mean?
Nothing.
I have no idea.
Maybe that's why the little girl was chasing after you've got my mom stolen gun.
I don't know.
Right.
That could have happened.
I mean, Journey.
The dangerous for a little.
kid to do that. And like I said, good that she took, you know, she's protecting her mom and
fighting back there at the car. The chase after him is a real problem for me. I don't understand why
she would do that, except that the guy did take the purse. So she's not a hero. She lost the purse.
So why are we treating her like a hero? I don't understand. You've seen him on the roast of Tom Brady,
and you've heard him on the number one podcast in the world, kill Tony. Now see Tony Hinchcliff. Saturday, June 20th,

Tickets on sale now at Ticketmaster.
Have we confirmed yet if it is Huey Lewis in the News Day or not?
I don't know if we have confirmation on that or not.
So I'm just waiting to hear.
You know, last week, we talked about Amazon said that they were going to stop accepting the Visa brand credit cards from UK customers beginning next year.
Well, that follows another little snipe in Australia and Singapore, where Amazon slapped a small fee on customers who pay using Visa credit.
cards. Oh, isn't that special? And Amazon said that it was considering switching its co-branded
card from Visa to MasterCard. Fight, fight, fight, fight. Oh yeah, big time. So the company cited
Visa's high processing fees. Now, data shows that MasterCard and Visa's fees pretty much the same.
so somebody at visa has pissed somebody off at amazon and so and was jeff bezos is like well it's not jeff
all right jeff is done so the other guy the other whoever is in charge of amazon now you know the
guy that was god weightlessness oh jesus no thank you i thought you were going to play the guy that
died i can't think of the the pilot that just died he was even did a segment on him but he's the
the Carmen Line guy.
Right?
God.
Weightlessness.
Oh, Jesus.
Carmen Lines.
I think that's him.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it.
Anyway.
No, I'm thinking about him.
I'm sad.
So,
payments analysis,
say that Amazon's ditching a visa
is just a negotiating tactic.
They just want to secure
lower processing fees
from the company,
and they don't expect it to hurt
Visa's bottom line.
in any tangible way.
Right.
No way.
That's big money.
Big money, those transaction fees.
I mean, I'm $110 billion in credit card processing fees last year.
Yeah, that's going to hurt.
Companies, that starts putting, starts hitting the wallet.
So somebody needs to make up.
somebody needs
when you hear
that the CEO
of Visa
is going up into space
God
weightlessness
oh Jesus
they've made up
it's right baby
oh yeah
the next blue origin
penis ship
that goes up
with the head of Visa
in it
they've made up
until then
it ain't over bro
it ain't over
Kevin Spacey
you know him you love him
he just had arbitration over his lawsuit he was being sued by his fellow producers from house of cards and they were like oh yeah no you owe us a bunch of money and because your production you know house of cards stopped and you were you know breaching my contract and you breached it because and you breached your contract because you violated the company's sexual harassment policy
So they, and they scrapped the season in 2017, and then people came forward to allege this pattern of sexually predatory conduct that, you know, nobody knew about it until, oh wait, everybody knew about it, but they were all happy about it.
Well, maybe they weren't happy about it.
They all accepted it because the money was rolling in.
Kevin had that his $100 million dollar Netflix deal.
He was creating a great show.
And, you know, he was, everybody was okay with it.
Oh, Kevin, stop grabbing my crotch.
Do you have my paycheck?
Okay, thank you.
Man, I hate it when he grabs my cot.
Can I just put this, can I just direct deposit this in?
Yeah, okay.
So, don't look at me like that.
I didn't say it.
Pretty close, though.
So, Spacey and his companies, M-profit productions and Trigger Street Productions,
were ordered to pay
$29.5 million in damages,
$1.2 million in attorney's fees,
and $235,000 in costs.
Oh, okay, that's it, though?
Yeah, that's it.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, okay.
Now, according to this,
they had no knowledge whatsoever
of Spacey's alleged onset misconduct
prior to the report.
Right.
No one in the world.
No one.
Not even them saying it believes that.
Sorry, no.
And speaking of people getting money,
families of the Parkland shooting victims,
they just settled their lawsuit
with the Department of Justice
for $130 million.
Incredible.
Incredible.
We're making, we're dealing.
I'm very sorry, and it's a horrible thing that happened.
But the Department of Justice is settling with families
because they believe that the FBI was negligent.
They say the Bureau received tips about crews,
including his amassing of weapons and his desire to shoot up a school,
and agents failed to intervene and prevent violence.
According to this, weeks before the shooting,
The tipster told the FBI that Cruz was going to explode and that he was going to slip into the school and start shooting up the place.
Wow.
So they've settled.
Well, they think it's $130 million.
Could be more.
Maybe a little bit less.
They don't know because that hasn't been reported.
Of course, this is just, you know, inside information.
But one of the things in this story that I found.
interesting that I didn't realize.
And I don't know why I didn't realize it.
And I can't remember if I saw it or I didn't.
But we're talking about this, the Parkland settlement with the Department of Justice for $130 million.
Right.
So last month in October, families of the Charleston Church Massacre settled with, that's right, you guessed it, the Department of Justice for $88 million.
for what the hell it's time to shut the FBI down if this is I mean if they're they're not acting on
on tips and going out and checking and making sure I'm sure that I know that you can every tip
can't be checked out I know but we entrust the Federal Bureau of Investigations to have some
knowledge and some forethought and say that you get a tip from a lady that says I've got this kid
amassing weapons I don't know maybe you sent billy over hello FBI and hopefully they have a
sense with their training of what's happening it's just I mean we're settling these cases that's
that's an awful lot of money that's an awful lot of money to these families in Charleston
they're looking at the families of the people who were killed are
getting six to seven and a half million and the survivors are getting five million per claim.
And I don't know what it breaks down to in Parkland, but it sounds to be about the same.
So hopefully it'll be enough to make it a little bit better for the families.
It's the matcha or the three ensemble Cadocephora of the fact that I just

Okay so I can't
stop thinking about
Maria Shriver
for some reason.
Don't look at me like that.
It's just, she's been in the news lately.
And, you know, she posted the thing about the thing.
And then she posted the thing about the other thing.
And then I'm thinking, well, maybe she wants to get her job back.
She's looking for work, right?
Now, she doesn't need to work, obviously.
She's Maria Shriver.
Her dad got my, I start looking into Maria Shriver.
Her dad is Sergeant Shriver.
Who names their kid's sergeant anymore?
No one.
But her dad was like a big politician, friendship,
ambassador, you know, mom was one of the Kennedys, hubby for a while,
was a governor and a big-time world-renowned movie star.
Well, she's had a pretty sweet life.
Oh, I know.
It's a struggle.
And her stupid movie star husband was screwing the maid.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Maybe you should have thought about, anyway.
So what I was looking for, I don't want to get into the struggles of Arnie and Maria.
but and what's her what's their name the
Consuelo
yeah and I don't want to get into their
their little their little struggles
but as I'm looking at that
I'm looking to see that their main house
in Los Angeles is now for sale
and I'm thinking oh
interesting I wonder what you know
what kind of house they live in it's a long time
California house it's up for sale
and it's $15 million
I'm thinking $15 million in L.A
and I expect better for Marty
I really do.
I expect better from him.
So this place, I wonder, well, what kind of what size?
It looks nice.
It looks like a nice house.
They want $15 million for it.
It's hit the market.
It's tucked away.
It's off a sunset boulevard in L.A.
It's a small community of 16 homes.
And, you know, a lot of, you know, actors and politicians and the industry leaders live there.
But I'm, and you look at it, it's got a little bridge over a creek.
We're heading into the property and the tennis court.
in the pool and it's got the picture here of the pool in the garado area and the walkway bridge
that takes you across to the tennis courts and it shows you the traditional foyer and the curved
staircase with the overlook and i'm wondering okay well what is the size of the house and it's a dump
is what it is we're 15 million in l.A it's a dump and i'm looking i'm trying to figure out no it's got to be a dump
because no sales pitch story doesn't have the size of the house.
They just don't.
You know, it's 15,000 square feet.
The street bedrooms up here.
It's four and a half bath down here.
You've got the special bathroom outside by the grotto, whatever.
None of it.
It's 15 million.
Here's a couple of pictures.
Move on.
So, I mean, I feel sorry for the, you know, Schwarzenegger's.
struggling in their dump in L.A.
off of Sunset Boulevard.
Maybe that's why Maria needs to get back to work.
She's been a lot.
I mean, it's been at least 30 years, right, since she's been on TV.
I mean, I remember Segalator on TV, you know,
watching it with my grandfather back in the 80s or 90s.
And it's been a long time, right?
She was on NBC News and ended in the 90s.
So that's broken.
on time.
Is Brokaw even still alive?
I think he is.
Yeah, Brocah's still alive.
Yeah, he's 81.
So, I mean, he's hanging in there.
All right.
You do?
You have the house?
Okay, let me guess.
Let me guess.
Let me guess. All right.
Just looking at the photos.
Five bedrooms,
six baths,
8,000 square feet.
I've only got the square footage.
It's 4,200 square feet.
Oh, even more.
Oh, that's a, oh my gosh.
I thought it was even better than that.
But it's on an acre and almost two acres.
Oh, my gosh.
4,000 square feet?
Arnie, what are you doing?
Oh, that's embarrassing.
I mean, maybe I give him a little bit of slack
because he was living at the governor's mansion
for a few of the,
those years. So he was keeping
a little love shack
in L.A. up and running.
But, okay,
go ahead. Well, the neighborhood
is zoned equestrian with
a meandering picturesque creek
and several footbridges. Yeah, that's the bridge that goes across.
Yeah, I know. It's cute. I got it. I got it. And I saw
the shrubs and the greenery all over
the neighborhood. It looked nice. I gave them
credit for that. But
holy cow. Oh, here we go.
Five bedroom, six bathroom.
Bingo with skylights
Five bedrooms, six bathrooms
With 4,000 square feet
Oh my gosh
That's, I mean you are squeezing in that place
Five, I mean
I'm trying to know how many bathrooms
My house has one two
Three
Four
So
Add two more
To my house
And how many bedrooms I got one
Two
Three
That's about the same size.
A dump!
I'm embarrassed.
I gotta stop talking about it because I expect so much more out of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
But, you know, he does show up with his stupid animals, though, doesn't he?
He has his llamas and his little sheepy sheeps and whatever the hell of all other animals.
He's raising.
So he's got to, I mean, they're not living there, although it's equestrian neighborhood this place was.
So he was probably able to keep, that's probably off to the.
back of the tennis court there that's probably where it keeps his llamas.
He's got to have a little corner of the acre for the llamas.
That's embarrassing.
I, how much is, I mean, Arnie's got to be worth what?
300 million.
What do you think?
Okay, they're saying he's worth 400 million.
$400 million.
And he's living in this dump?
What is no wonder Maria left him?
Holy cow.
you know what happened to living in houses with just one bathroom and that's the way it was
I mean I remember my grandfather telling me stories of houses with just one bathroom but I told you
before my grandparents house had the one bathroom downstairs and they had the you know the peepot
upstairs in the bedrooms upstairs that's you know if you stayed overnight and you had to pee it
didn't want to walk all the way downstairs
and go across the living room
into the bathroom. You use that
and then you had to haul that thing down in the morning
and flush her down and rinse it out.
Or you just leave it up there in the whole room.
No, you don't do that. But I'm just saying
that those days are long gone, man.
Nobody has to struggle
with one bathroom. I mean, that is a dump.
Right. And don't look at me like that.
Like, oh, I've got one bathroom in my house. It's not a dump.
I know that. And I know
it's not a dump. It's my way of saying
you know, I get it.
Because Arnold's house is a dump.
The guy's worth $400 million.
I drive by
new housing developments in Texas
that have houses
up and down the street that are
4,000 square feet.
And those are just neighborhood homes.
I mean, holy cow,
Arnie, I expect
a lot better from you.
I'll let it go now.
All right, so we're coming up on, oh my gosh, it's Thanksgiving week already.
Wow, it's Thanksgiving.
So I love Thanksgiving.
That's a big weekend, too.
I don't, do you?
I do.
I love Thanksgiving, man, the turkey and the stuffing and the dressing and the mashed potatoes.
I just, you know, the pies.
I know.
I'm a fan.
Plus it's a big football weekend.
I mean, hello, we got.
We got Missouri, Arkansas, on Friday afternoon.
We got Michigan, Ohio State on Saturday afternoon.
We got BYU, USC Saturday night.
Huge game.
It's awesome.
I mean, that's a busy weekend.
It's a rivalry weekend in college football, which I'm looking forward to.
But it's just, you know, I can't believe that it's almost Thanksgiving.
And I know I'll wrap it up today.
But we never did we get any confirmation on whether today is National Huey Lewis in the Newsday.
or not?
Because if it is, we've got to celebrate.
Sure, it is.
Well, then we have to celebrate.
Yeah.
Cooie Lewis in the News Day, baby.
Coming at you.
I'm chewing the fat.
Oh, man.
Wow.
He was huge back.
I mean, monster big.
Hit the post.
All right.
We haven't even confirmed that it's his day.
Oh, man.
Classic, man.
We've got to get to the chorus going.
Right.
We haven't even confirmed it's his day yet.
We can't celebrate yet.

Hi, I'm Sophia Loper Carroll, host of the Before the Chorus podcast.
We dive into the life experiences behind the music we love.
Artists of all genres are welcome.
And I've been joined by some pretty amazing folks, like glass animals.
I guess that was the idea was to try something personal and see what happened.
And Japanese breakfast.
I thought that the most surprising thing I could offer was an album about joy.
You can listen wherever you get your podcasts.
Oh, and remember, so much happens before the chorus.
