Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts.
So you don't have to.
They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags.
Designer.
Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest.
Ooh, cashmere.
Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love.
Brushes too.
And hustled all those wishless topping toys.
So plush.
Our buyers have got you covered.
Marshalls.

You gift the good stuff.
Blaze Radio Network
And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
So if you worked for Peloton or had planned on working for Peloton at the Ohio factory that they just nixed building,
and you were upset that you didn't get to go to the Christmas party,
sure there weren't any Christmas parties for employees.
Okay, well, sure the CEO and owner had a party.
You know, for all the instructors and some of his other friends,
those, you know, vaccinated family and friends party in NYC over the holidays.
If you didn't get to go to that and you're, you know, now bummed that you aren't able to work at the new factory that they're going to not make,
well, maybe you're one of the 2,800 employees that are just going to get laid off now on the new restructuring plan that Peloton is going to go and take care of right now.
Now, sure, the CEO is outgoing, and he's going to stay on as executive chairman after, you know, they give the reins to Barry McCarthy, you know, the former Netflix and Spotify CFO.
But, and they're looking to maybe sell it to somebody else.
Other companies are looking to buy Peloton.
But if you're, you know, the 2,800 employees that aren't going to continue to work for Peloton,
part of your package.
I don't know if you know this yet.
If you haven't talked to any of your mid-level bosses who still have a job,
you're not only going to get your, you know, severance package,
but part of that severance package is you're going to get a whole year
of free exercise classes from Peloton.
So quit your whining.
Okay.
Welcome.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
You know,
as well as I do, inflation is at a 40-year high.
Investors are selling stocks like crazy, and volatility is up 50% over the last month alone.
You can thank Jerome Powell's interest rate hike announcement for that, and it's probably
going to get worse.
Goldman Sachs even predicts that five more interest rate hikes could come in the next year.
Now, let me ask you this.
If your portfolio is ready for what's to come, is it?
Is it ready?
for what's next to come.
You may want to consider investing in alternative assets,
like blue chip art.
After all, art has a low correlation to the stock market
and blue chip art prices outpaced the S&P 500
by 164% for the last 25 years.
Diversifying with art isn't new.
The ultra-wealthy have done it for centuries.
And with Masterworks, now you can too.
This alternative investment platform lets you buy shares representing an investment in multi-million
dollar paintings.
You can join 330,000 members more than 330,000 members, and get priority access to Masterworks
with my unique link.
Masterworks.
That art slash jeffy.
Masterworks.
dot art slash jeffy.
Now, you can see important disclosures at masterworks.
I.
Slash disclaimer.
But now may be the time to diversify.
And this alternative investment platform lets you buy shares in the multi-million
dollar paintings.
Masterworks.
Dot art slash Jephy.
Masterworks.
dot art slash Jephy.
Those of you that were excited about getting crack pipes from the government for free,
yeah,
you have to dry your eyes now.
I know.
apparently the administration has now said no that's not going to happen the health and human services secretary
Xavier Bassetta and the National Drug Control Policy Office Director Dr. Rahul Gupta issued a joint
statement refuting the claim and stating that their offices focused on using our resources
smartly to reduce harm and to save lives.
Okay, no federal funding will be used directly or through subsequent reimbursement of grantees
to put pipes in safe smoking kits.
Okay.
I know that the original story said that they had a spokesman, so we don't know, I guess it's a man,
If it was a girl, they would say spokesperson for the department recently,
the spoke for the department saying the grant money will do exactly what the headline said.
And the headline actually said that crack that's going to Biden administration will send crack pipes to drug addicts to advance racial equity.
That's what the spokesman said.
But now we've got the two big guys backtracking for the administration.
So I guess it didn't go over well.
But funding is going to go towards proven harm reduction strategies, like providing
Knox alone, which, you know, they put up the vending machines in Philadelphia already.
Fentanyl test strips, clean syringes.
So you are going to get the clean syringes, as well as taking divisive actions.
Oh, I'm sorry, decisive.
Did I say divisive?
Decisive actions to go after violent criminals.
who are trafficking illicit drugs like fentanyl across our borders and into our communities.
Yeah, that's great that you're going to go after the trafficking.
We expect that.
But darn it, now all I'm going to get is syringes.
I'm not going to get the crack pipe.
What is happening?
According to Jen Saki, the crack pipes were never part of the safe smoking kids.
Okay.
You say, so just the clean syringes, though.
So we're supposed to be okay with that.
Oh, okay.
I thought the pipe was going to be there for, you know, crack and math and whatever else you're going to smoke with it.
But I guess that is inaccurate.
Jen said alcohol swabs, lip balm, other materials to promote hygiene and reduce the transmission of diseases like HIV and hepatitis.
which is clean syringes.
And their point was for these crack pipes
is that it was going to reduce those particular diseases
because it was cracking people's lips
and cutting their lips and burning their hands.
They were getting diseases from it.
I would like to see the kit.
I would like a free kit sent to me.
Although I wanted my free test kits for COVID-2
and those have not arrived from the government website.
So, you know, my crack pipe.
is probably in the mail as well.
But according to this, it's not going to happen.
Now, we've often heard that something isn't going to happen, and it still is.
So I'll be interested to see the kits when they start going out.
Because you know that grant money.
My gosh, it's grant money.
They never have to give it back.
They don't have to prove that they did anything.
They just have to promise that it's going to go to underserved communities to advance racial equity.
It drives me insane.
but I want my crack pipe, man.
I'm pissed.
I'm happy for the clean syringes.
I'm happy, you know, for the fentanyl test strips.
I want to make sure that, you know,
what I'm taking is pure fentanyl.
I mean, that it doesn't have fentanyl in it.
What am I?
Please.
And I want to make sure that, you know, if I OD,
I've got the Veloxone there to save me.
But how dare you think that a crack pipe is going to be there?
You, you people hate so much.
And of course, the Drug Policy Alliance said that the administration's decision to not fund smoking pipes is deeply, deeply disappointing.
So they're pissed.
They're happy that they're getting the clean syringes.
Of course.
Of course they are.
But they're pissed.
They're not getting the smoking pipes.
Yeah.
They're going to find a way.
I guarantee you.
I know what they said.
I know in their joint statement.
they said that no federal funding will be used directly or through subsequent reimbursement of grantees to put pipes in safe smoking kits.
Subsequent reimbursement of grantees.
So no funding will be used directly.
But if they give the funding to Bill's drug house and then Bill buys pipes with this,
the drug with that month funding to put in the kits,
then that's not directly from the government, right?
Although it's part of a subsequent reimbursement program.
I mean, we're still going to get crack pipes.
Okay, never mind.
Forget what I said.
Forget what I said.
Those crack parts are going to find their way into those kids.
Guaranteed.
I mean, even if they, okay, so they won't be in the kits.
They'll tape them to the sides.
All right.
You got your clean syringes.
You got your testing.
and here's uh i can't put the pipe in the kit but i'm taping it to the side for you okay all right get
out of here all right let's go to the break room i need something cold to drink desperately wish i
had a crack pipe too so i think i'm going to put a moratorium on adele talk i think i've had enough
of even just saying her name reading her name adele i've had enough all right she canceled the
Vegas thing, which really kind of pissed a lot of people off.
And, you know, I don't blame them.
And I'm kind of on their side now.
You know, because it was COVID.
And we hear all kinds of stories that it really wasn't.
And then she went to the, she said she wasn't going to do the Brit Awards, which she
shouldn't have done.
But she did anyway.
Then she said, okay, I'm going to do the Brit Awards.
Well, she came away with all the awards, right?
She got all kinds of, all kinds of awards at the Brit Awards.
She got the artist of the year, song of the year, Mastercard.
album of the year.
And she did perform.
She performed a, according to this story,
a spell binding performance of I drink wine
taken from her fourth album, 30.
And it got me thinking, you know,
as she's performing at the Brit Awards,
why couldn't she just go out on stage and sing in Vegas?
I know she wanted to put on a big show,
but she could have just said, hey, you know,
we're down with COVID, but I really want to put this show on.
So I'm just going to come out and perform for you
and do a show for you, just you and me in Vegas.
Come, come, come, let's have fun.
Adele, you and me, Adele in Vegas.
Is there nothing she could have done?
So now we're done.
You know what, I'm done talking about her.
I've had enough.
Go away.
I'm sick of your long fingernails.
I'm sick of your fake nails.
I'm sick of your fake hair.
I'm sick of your fake body.
Yeah, I know you lost all that weight and you've got a great diet,
but, you know, I'm supposed to believe that that's all natural.
Okay. All right, fine. I believe it. But go away.
You know, go to one of your eight houses you've got around the world
and go with your boyfriend, whoever he is today, and just be you.
Okay? But we're done. All right, there's a Dell moratorium on chewing the fat,
at least until she's, you know, performing in Vegas again.
I think that's going to be the cutoff.
All right. Until she gets back to Vegas,
I feel like I'm working for Vegas now.
Maybe I don't know that I want to make that call.
All right.
That's fine.
I'm done talking about her.
All right.
So I finished Reacher.
The last final two episodes,
I think my favorite line in the whole thing is when they, at the end,
this is not a spoiler alert if you haven't seen the Reacher episodes on Amazon Prime.
There's eight episodes.
It's a fun ride.
It's just that I like the couple of lies in there.
We already talked about in my first review.
But I like where he was, you know,
they were having the big, you know, culmination battle war,
and they were going to go back to, you know,
don't we need to go back in and save him?
And how do you know he's going to come out alive?
He's a reacher.
I guess that was kind of a spoiler.
So he does survive.
I know.
It's his show.
And he does survive at the end.
Now, apparently I have a movie to watch.
I got an email chewing the fat at the blaze.com from Susan,
uh,
in Pennsylvania who said,
uh,
love your podcast.
Thank you.
you always leave me wanting more.
You're welcome.
She said in her email,
I wish it was longer.
I know, but that's just what God gave me.
Anyway, you're finishing Reacher.
The next thing you need to watch is nobody.
It's streaming on HBO Max
and with Bob Odenkirk,
and it's an action movie, and Christopher Lloyd.
I didn't know that he was still alive
and it has some really cleverly done
action sequences and stuff I've never seen before
so much fun to watch.
Put it on your short list.
It's only a movie, no big commitment.
Okay, so I'm going to, I'll watch it this weekend.
I know it's Super Bowl weekend,
so at some point over the weekend,
I will sit down on HBO Max
and catch nobody just for you, Susan.
Okay? Thank you.
Chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
I see where the Oscars are now saying,
you know what, we really don't want you to be vaccinated if you come to the event.
Wait, what?
Yeah, you don't need any vaccination.
Sure, everybody, every place else said, you know, the SAG Awards and the Critics Choice Awards all wanted proof of vaccination.
No, you know what?
We want to have people there.
So you just have to test negative, all right?
We're just going to require a negative PCR test or a rapid end.
test on the day of the events. That's it. You don't have to be vaccinated, though. Okay. Nice. Fine.
That happens on the 27th of March at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. I, you know, we covered
some of the bigger awards that the nominations that are out. We'll get to that as it gets closer.
I don't know that the world cares anymore. I mean, there's so much great content out there.
Do we have to watch you glad hand each other for your money?
movies. I don't think so. I don't think so. But, you know, whatever, go about your business.
And then they announced that they're having their Governor's Award as part of the Oscar nominations.
They have the Academy, I'm sorry, the Academy, their new Governor's Award. This year, it happens
on the 25th of March, you know, prior to the Oscars at the same ballroom. And it's going to be
presented, the honorary awards are going to be presented to Samuel L. Jackson, Elaine May,
live Olman and a Gene Herschelt humanitarian award will be presented to Danny Glover.
So that's awesome.
Congratulations to them for getting the governor's award.
It means so much.
It's proudly supported by Rolex.
And that Rolex, of course, is the exclusive watch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
You know that as well as I do.
I don't have to tell you that.
And I see where Apple, as long as one of the break room,
as we'll talk about Apple's tap to pay,
they want to encourage more smart phone intimacy.
Oh, yeah, and this is the way to do it.
Phone on phone intimacy.
The company is releasing a feature that allows customers to spend money
by simply tapping the iPhone against a merchant's iPhone,
turning the device into a checkout register.
Apple's tap and pay, I'm sorry, tap to pay,
is expected to rival the point of,
a sale system sold by Block, formerly known as Square.
Okay.
If you say so, we'll see.
I mean, Apple is a huge here in the U.S., but around the world, not so much.
Hit pause on whatever you're listening to and hit play on your next adventure.
This fall get double points on every qualified stay.
Life's the trip.
Make the most of it at Best Western.
Visit bestwestern.com for complete terms and conditions.
So what is happening with the Olympics?
I have not watched one second of the Olympics on any platform.
I guess I have watched the commercials and the promos because some of the shows that I watch obviously are under the NBC programming platform gods.
So I get the watch the Olympics.
I have not gone out of my way to watch any of the events.
And I normally do.
I do.
I just,
I can't bring myself to do it.
And so I haven't talked about it at all.
But I know that we have the Winter Olympic athletes fuming over poor food, inhumane isolation
rooms, bitter cold weather as games go into meltdown.
Now, I said all along that the American athletes shouldn't be there.
We should have boycotted.
But whatever, that's fine.
We, you know, we went ahead and.
boycotted our ambassadors.
Whoa.
Okay.
And another headline, Olympians protest, horrid conditions.
I cry every day.
I mean, they are unhappy at the Olympics.
And the food, I saw some pictures of some of the food that they're being served.
Oh, it is not good.
Not good at all.
It does not look good.
And, I mean, the coaches have got to be pissed because,
what helps fuel the Olympian athletes is what they eat, right?
I mean, that's it.
And now I see where some female ski jumpers have been disqualified.
And why would you disqualify ski jumpers from other countries?
I'll tell you why.
Bagging clothing.
Bagging clothing.
Yeah, they were bagging clothes.
Baggy clothing.
Right.
though they I'll tell you what multiple disqualifications over the outfits five female ski jumpers
from Austria, Japan, Norway and Germany, two from Norway, were disqualified from the competition
for wearing loose fitting suits, you bastards.
The last Olympics, we had the girls, you know, pissed because they were wearing shorts
and not bikinis to play beach volleyball.
And now we've got ski jumpers wearing loose fitting suits.
I will not have it.
Neither will the Chinese or the Olympic rule gods because they're out.
They are out.
Also, what's happening in China now is I see where tennis star Peng Shui, who was lost and now found.
And amazingly, she was lost after she accused the former
Chinese vice premier of sexual assault in a now deleted social media post.
Oh, wow.
Her disappearance couldn't have had anything to do with that, could it?
No.
But she did show up a few weeks later saying, hey, hey, hey, I needed a break.
I'm safe.
I'm fine.
It was all me.
Well, now she announced during the Olympics, or at least, you know, while the Olympic
are going on, that she's going to retire.
And I retract all my earlier comments.
And it's, you know, I can't take it anymore.
I'm going to announce my retirement.
And, you know, don't worry about the Chinese official here, who's my translator.
Don't worry about those other Chinese government officials standing off to the side.
I'm going to retire.
And everything I said about the Chinese vice premier of the sexual assaults.
was all a lie.
And it was just, I don't know what I was thinking.
And, you know, please just disregard.
Okay.
Okay.
Peng, you take care.
Good luck.
God bless.
And in our who died today, who died today segment, we already had talked about,
he was in an earlier segment.
He can't, you can't really die again.
But you can't find out how you died.
So Bob Sagitt, who died, I don't know, a while ago.
and uh yeah he died you know a few weeks ago in Orlando but now we know why right now didn't the
original stories talked about how he's sitting along the side of the bed on the floor so they
were figuring it was a heart attack and or a stroke well nope none of that okay forget that
reporting you you people are dumb okay he died of a brain bleed okay he hit his head on probably
you know, the headboard or something.
He didn't even know that it was
the severity of the head hit.
And then, you know, he
went to sleep and he never woke up.
And so, there weren't any drugs
in his system. And
he didn't try to get out of the bed.
He laid down. He, he had just
finished a show in Jacksonville,
drove to Orlando,
laid down, and that was it.
Now, the whole thing,
I'm not, you know, it's not
funny, I know. But,
Okay, we got it.
No drugs or alcohol were involved.
We got it.
It wasn't a heart attack.
We got it.
Didn't have anything to do with the vaccine or not the vaccine or anything like that.
It was a brain bleed.
So there you go.
That's how he died.
Now, shut up.
And as long as we're on who died today, former segments, you know, we did a story about the lady who was on the drawbridge, right?
and was hanging on and, you know, lost her life.
And the story was horrible.
But they aren't releasing who it is.
And I find it strange that they're claiming, yeah, Marcy's Law.
We can't tell you who she was.
Marcy's Law.
Wait, what?
Marcy's Law allows for somebody who has been victimized,
beginning at the time of his or her victimization,
to prevent the disclosure of information that could lead to their,
identity being revealed or they're being subject to other forms of harassment.
What? You're not telling us her name because of that?
We have to know who this lady is. All right. I'm sorry. This is America. I want to know why she
was on that freaking bridge. I want to know. I mean, it claims she was like 10 feet away when it started
to go up. You've got to go down or make the jump. I know she was 80, so she's not making the jump.
But, I mean, I guess maybe she got scared and just froze.
I don't know.
The whole thing is just we went over this prior chewing the fat.
I believe it was yesterday, as a matter of fact.
But I don't understand why we're not finding out who it is and how they can use Marcy's law to say,
oh, yeah, we can't tell you who she is.
Marcy's law.
Sounds like police gobbly gook to me or attorney gobbly gook.
And, man, attorney gobbly gook.
really is my favorite.
So, you know, I should actually enjoy this, but I'm not her attorney, and so I want to know her name.
And as long as we're in Who Died Today segment, I might as well give you, you know, a fresh one instead of, you know, covering a couple of old deaths.
Elon Musk is in trouble now for Who Died Today?
Monkeys, monkeys at Neurilink.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
I know.
It's sad.
animal rights groups are pissed
that he's using monkeys
and he's causing extreme suffering
during years of gruesome
experiments.
I know, sad.
So, I mean, I don't know how we're supposed to
test for humans
without using monkeys.
One monkey, apparently,
had to be killed
because during a terminal procedure,
That monkey was found with some fingers and toes missing, another monkey that developed a blood and skin infection after the electrodes were implanted, had to be killed.
I'm sorry, euthanized.
And in a third instance, a female monkey that had electrodes implanted in the brain, overcome with vomiting and retching and gasping, and later just collapsed.
And so, you know, they had to euthanize it.
okay
I mean the autopsy
showed the monkey
had suffered from a brain
hemorrhage
all right so
I know
do I want monkeys
to suffer
no
but do
I as a human
care
I get
yeah I should I guess
I don't know
it's
I'm really torn
I'm really torn
because
I say I
I'm gonna go down a road
I don't necessarily
want to go down because I just know that humans top of the list okay everything else below
humans so if we're doing something that's going to help humans in the long run then I kind of feel
like if it's below humans then my caring goes down my my caring goes down my my my caring
factor goes down.
So I know
I don't want the animals to suffer either
but you know
it happens.
That's my
that's Elad's argument.
It happens.
I don't think that is his argument
but I know at least
15 of the monkeys
died or reuthanized
by 2020 by
and those were the reports
based on records through California's open records law.
So pretty much every single monkey had implants put in their head.
That's what he's trying to do to make life better for humans.
So I don't know.
Were they...
I don't know.
We'll see what happens when they start testing it on humans.
They're planning on starting their neurolink testing on humans.
I think this show.
year. So hopefully these monkeys' lives added to human life. And then I won't feel as bad as I do.
And the animal rights activists can get over it. So maybe the people who are getting the acts from
Peloton or even, you know, anyone listening to this show that are, you know, hurting right now.
Hey, you know what? You just become homeless. I mean, we've talked about it before. You just become
homeless. I see where Michael Schellenberger is hitting the streets, the author Michael
Schellenberger, is out hitting the streets in San Francisco. And he recorded an interview
with this homeless guy, James, who came from Louisiana, Texas to San Francisco. He's living
on the streets. I came here for drugs. He's saying they don't even enforce anything. The cops
come by in the morning and say, I have to pack up your stuff and go. Yeah, no, it's not going to
happen. Now, he says he gets $820 a month in welfare.
and food stamps.
And he says that he gets,
he has a cell phone that has
Amazon Prime and Netflix on it.
And he was talking about how he helped these two young
kids get drugs. They were looking for
oxy. He said, dude, you're not going to get
oxy on these streets. Okay? Just now,
that's not the way it is. But how much
money you got? They had 40 bucks. So he went and got them.
He claimed a gram of fentanyl.
For 40,
bucks okay
that seems like a pretty good deal
and he said to them
he said look there's enough fentanyl in here
that'll kill six people doing it wrong or whatever
so I'm going to teach you how to do it
now this is how much I do
so I mean he's got to take a bump for himself
this is how much I do
and this is you know this is
what you should probably do or you do whatever you
want but here's some
so now I'm going to teach you how
to save each other's lives okay so if you do
too much and you die, you can come back
with this Narcon, okay? If you overdose, I can
bring you back with Narcon. Okay?
All right, good. I don't think you. James,
I appreciate it. So, you know, he's just
living large. He said, why
get a place?
I don't know, you know,
he's got tats all over
and a big tattoo on his forehead and
face, and it looks good for him. Not a lot
of people can pull that look off. James
does. And it's
just pretty
Pretty sad, actually.
I mean, he says they pay me to be homeless here.
So I'm here.
And so he's living on the streets at San Francisco.
The streets of San Francisco.
He says he's got an effing phone, bro.
How did he get his food stamps and his $620 cash?
I just make a effing phone call, bro.
Okay?
Like, why would I want to pay rent?
I'm not doing crap.
I got an effing cell phone.
I got Amazon Prime and Netflix on.
He's living large.
He's selling a little fentanyl to the people, you know,
walk on the streets.
Life is good.
So, I mean, is it really good?
We used to battle with the cops.
Now it's like the cops are, it's like they're your neighbor, you know?
The cops told this morning, like,
oh, it'd be easier if you guys packed up in the morning,
we wouldn't have to come out here.
And I'm like, what are you talking about?
He's like, pack up your shit in the morning.
I'm like, why?
You know?
It's like, oh, okay.
Yeah, so maybe it is good.
They got, you ought to pack up.
Why?
All right, I got to move on.
I don't have time for this.
The streets of San Francisco and many other cities across America in today's world.
It's a beautiful thing.
Beautiful thing.
So beautiful, in fact, that people are just apologizing for the
dumbest things.
So the Washington
Commanders
defensive tackle
Jonathan Allen
has now apologized
and deleted a tweet
in which he said
Adolf Hitler
was one of the three people
living or dead
with whom he'd like to have dinner.
Okay.
So?
So apparently he was tweeting
that, hey, ask me anything.
And one of the
questions was
hey,
um,
three people dead or alive,
what three people,
which three people dead or alive,
would you want to have dinner with?
Or I want to have at a dinner table.
And he responded saying,
his granddad,
Hitler,
Michael Jackson.
And then he explained,
he said in a tweet subsequently that
when asked why Hitler,
he said,
that's military genius.
I love military tactics.
But honestly,
I would want to pick his brain
as to why he did what he did.
and I'm assuming that people have chosen to answer all my questions honestly.
So, I mean, so later in the day, he tweeted earlier I tweeted something that probably hurt people.
And I apologize for what I said.
I didn't express properly what I was trying to say.
And I realized it was dumb.
When I pressed on his dinner choice following the initial tweet, he was merely saying that,
I'd be interesting to speak with Hitler, not giving him props.
Well, we all know that.
I mean, this is the ESPN and I can't take it.
So he apologized, though, for wanting to sit down with his granddad, Hitler, and Michael Jackson.
I mean, really, he should apologize for wanting to sit down with Michael Jackson.
But that's another story.
Oh, whoa, Jeff.
Why?
Why?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That can't happen.
I mean, you know how many people would have said, yeah, they'd like to sit down and talk with Adolf Hitler or at least have a conversation with him?
Would you get what you wanted out of it?
Doubtful.
Man was whacked out of his brain.
But he wanted to rule the world.
So, I mean, why are we apologizing for it?
He's an NFL football player.
He should say, no, I'm not going to apologize.
No, that's what I had.
At the time, that's what I was thinking, those three people.
My granddad, Hitler, and Michael Jackson, back off me.
But does he do that?
No, he apologized.
We are living in very, very strange times.
You know that.
But, I mean, that's why you're listening to Two in the Fat, right?
I will say that for years, my wife has always said,
why don't the politicians just line up and drop their pants and measure who's bigger
and then we'll see where they stand.
Well, in a similar thought, there is a guy.
on, well, I saw it on Twitter, but this is a TikTok post from at restroom user on TikTok.
And it's kind of a good idea for politics. I'll tell you that.
I think we could fix a lot of issues with the American political system if we just let Congress,
people beat the piss out of each other like they used to in the 1800s.
Because then when you're voting, you have to balance that candidate's beliefs with their ability
to physically defend those beliefs. It would fix the gridlock issue. You got one or two senators
who are holding up a bill, just jump them on the Senate floor.
They'll flip their vote. Oil money is only going to pay off so many broken ribs.
Old age issue, too.
You know, you've got these 80-year-old senators who have been in Congress for 40 years.
I think you'd think twice about voting for Mitch McConnell again if you knew there was a 30-something-year-old John Ossoff ready to put him through a table.
You know, term limits would go way down, too, you know.
People would only be running one or two times.
Guys, I can't run again.
I have eight concussions.
So we'd see a lot of new fresh faces on Capitol Hill.
just something to think about
I think it would
I think it would be good for this country
okay just so we're clear
I'm pretty sure it's a joke
all right at restroom
user might not think
it's a joke
but I'm pretty sure it is a joke
on TikTok and if it's not a joke
I mean is it going to happen
you know who knows
but it is funny to think about
having it happen
so just you know again
just something to think about
Something else to think about.
I mean, autonomous robots that have, you know, I love robots and robotics and talking about them.
And I love talking about, you know, the Terminator scenario of the humanoid robots.
But they've, you know, the advances are really accelerating.
I mean, the helpful bots running pre-programmed stuff.
We've gone beyond that.
I mean, we have robots now.
that can see, learn, think, react to their surroundings.
And while they're not, you know, perfect,
they are learning and getting better.
And they are constantly working.
And, you know, I see a story where we're supposed to believe
that they're really good for us and be happy.
And there are ways that they are helping us make the world a better place.
They deliver medical supplies to extremely remote places.
They have the drones that are dropping medical supplies.
They have robots that are used in the recycling plants.
They have robots that are doing the repetitive warehouse tasks.
They have robots helping nurses on the front lines and doctors on the front lines.
They have robots running indoor farms.
I mean, the future is here for robots.
I've got to find another robot expert other than myself.
and see where we're at in the world and what's happening.
I mean, they are in our face whether we want it or not.
And I want to be at least, I don't know if I'm going to be ready,
but I want to be prepared.
Again, just something to think about.
