pandemic across the Americas with the avian influenza pandemic and they've killed I don't know 2.8 million birds or more

mostly chickens and turkeys going on But now we have where the bird flu has jumped the pond. Usually they go in the other direction. The pond is coming our way. But this time, the bird flu is going the other side of the pond. Free-range eggs are out. Barn eggs are in the UK.

It's experiencing its largest ever outbreak of avian influenza. And the government now is requiring all burn owner, bird owners, from farmers to falconers, to keep their animals indoors and follow safety protocols to stop the spread. As a result, free-range eggs are no longer available in the country. They have been relabeled as barn eggs. Dry your eyes. Welcome to chewing the fat. Right? Okay, as you know, if you're listening live, it is the 23rd of March, 2022, Wednesday. I come in early on Wednesdays.

I come in extra early to the studios because I do it chewing the fat segment on Pat Unleashed. Okay, the morning show that airs 6 to 8 Central, 7 to 9 Eastern, and whatever, 10 to midnight Australia time. No, that's right. I know it's right. Don't doubt me. Don't doubt me. 10 p.m. to midnight, Sydney, Australia time. Telling you.

Look it up. Anyway, so this morning, this morning, I'm leaving the house. And I'm in the driveway. That's a garage door open. Cars parked in the driveway. I mean, there's no such thing as parking in the garage at the Fisher House. The garage is the storage unit. So, and I'm standing in the door.

driveway and I look across the street and there's a possum staring at me in the yard across the street okay so then I'm like oh a possum across the street then he starts walking toward me possibly running I don't I can't tell if a possum is I mean it could for a possum he may have been running I just know he was coming toward me and I thought you son of it so I took a picture with the flash I made sure I had the flash out so I'd try to you know say hey human here It didn't stop him. He kept coming. And then I take another picture, which I was getting a little nervous.

You can see it's blurry. I'm holding it up. Now you can see where it's kind of blurry because he was getting closer to me and the car. And I don't want to get in my car and close the door and then close the garage door because he's coming up underneath my car. I'm figuring he's going to take off into the garage. Now I've got a whole other set of problems. So I stand outside my car and then I realize it still has my baseball bat just inside the garage.

door. So I ran in, I ran in, okay, so I walked real fast, and I grabbed the, the baseball bat, and I started banging it on the driveway. I bang it on the tires. No, not now. You're not going this way. And then as I'm banging it, I, you know, open up my car door and I reach in and I close the garage door and make sure that the possum that was on the attack is not going to get into the garage or come out after me on my side of the car because I was worried, standing there and reaching into the car for the garage door opener. I thought, you know, he'd come up from underneath. Possum attack from underneath.

It could have happened. Could have happened. And so then, you know, after that, after the garage door was closed, you know, then I hop in the car, close the door, and I'm thinking, okay, well, so if he's, you know, frozen waiting to attack underneath my car, I'm going to, you know, I start the old car up. Never know. Could have possum guts everywhere. But I took a chance.

And I did not have possum guts. guts everywhere and I backed up and he was gone. So I don't know what happened but if you're in Fort Worth, Texas, there's a wild possum out there that is on the prowl and possibly attacking humans. You know, you're welcome for the warning. And don't even start with me with your little possums don't attack. They play dead. That's what they're known for.

Well, not at four o'clock in the morning. That's their prime time. That's when they're out scavenging, man. ready to attack me. Don't. It's not funny. I've said all along on this show how animals were going to attack

because of the throughout the pandemic, which we're still in, by the way. I know all of you think that the pandemic is over, but I have not seen a declaration from the who that we're out of the pandemic. And I mean, we talked about, I mean,

China is raging again with COVID. They're shutting down Disney. They're shutting down cities. So, I mean Possums are on the attack Because of it Okay

Animals are on the attack because of it And I've got Oh we I gotta do the monkey story Hold on Yeah These two monkeys Have been captured by authorities Now this was in India

This was not here in the US Because they killed around 250 dogs In revenge attacks Following the death Of a baby monkey So, I mean, monkeys are on the attack now. And that's why I was a little concerned about the...

I've had this in the fat pile. And that's why I was a little concerned about the possum. So officials with the Forest Department in India said that the monkeys were trapped on Sunday and released back into their natural habitat. That's where they were to begin with. The two monkeys involved in the killing of many puppies. many puppies uh okay

yeah they're killing dogs all right so the puppies don't get any food or what the monkeys do all right they're pissed at the dogs they're pissed at their baby monkey died so they grab

the puppy and they place him high up into the tree they carry them up into the trees and just leave them there and so the monkey's up in or the dog is up the tree. He doesn't know what to do. He's left there without food or water so that the only thing he does is fall off and die. They have analyzed all kinds of video. They believe 15,000 episodes of aggression can be found. And they believe that these monkeys tracked their associates

that break up for revenge. So do not mess with these monkeys in India, and really anywhere. Don't mess with them, which is just another reason. I've had this story in the fat pile, and I was thinking about that when the possum was crossing the road right at me.

It was a little concern. Now, I didn't have anything to do with any baby possums or maybe, you know, I wasn't that I knew of. I wasn't between this possum and baby possum, so it wasn't like a mama possum attack. I was just concerned that this one was going to attack me. It could have happened. Could have been this possum.

I could have been a revenge attack by this possum in Fort Worth. Could have been. Okay, back to the possum for just a second. All right? Because now I'm thinking that perhaps I'm thinking about the whole thing now that I'm calmed down and I'm not under attack from this possum. There's a couple of things that could have actually been the case, all right? Maybe I should have been scared at what the possum was running from.

I didn't think about that. I could be dead from a giant attack coyote. I don't know. But the coyotes probably, they're eating the rabbits in the neighborhood. That's why they're around. They're plenty of rabbits. Now, the other thing is... Do you have something to say?

No, I was waiting for you to be done. I'll get back to my show. continue I apologize for dying in here feel free to go die somewhere else wait whoa whoa wait thank you

don't stick a possum on me that the possum was looking for a little bit of love now it could have been looking for you know business or it could have been a homebred possum and he was just trying to help me help me rescue me

that's why I kept coming out me. He wasn't squaring up on me. He was coming for help. And I just, I just let him go. I just scared him and off he went. I know. Now I feel bad. Now I don't. Now I don't. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. I have no idea whether this is true or not, but I believe it that people hit net. click skip intro button, 136 million times per day, which is equivalent to about 195 years in cumulative time saved. I don't know if that's true, but I like it.

Because that is a good, fantastic feature. Skip intro. Now, I will say, Amazon has the skip intro and skip intro. and skip open, which I love when you're binging. Get you the skip intro, skip open. But if it's the new season,

if you go to, like if I'm watching it on one TV in the living room, and I'm binging and I go to the new season, fine, it keeps going to skip intro, skip open, we're going to continue on. But if I go to the other TV,

click into Amazon and go, oh, it's a new thing. I got to start a, again. You don't get to skip it. All right. Thank you. Appreciate it.

That's what I want to do is sit through it. Thank you. But I will say we've, when Netflix instituted that, I mean, we thanked them live on the air because it was awesome.

That is a great thing. Man, when you are in the middle of, you know, episodes of shows that are, you know, 10, 12, and you're six or seven deep,

you don't have time. You don't have time for a good through the whole open and the whole thing. Let's just go. Let's keep them going. Let's go. That is awesome. Hulu has an issue with that. Hulu doesn't let you do that.

They have to make you sit through all that agonizing. Anyway, like I said, I don't know if it's true or not, but I sure want to believe it. The answer, for those of you that are asking, is no. I'm a Hulu.

Chewing the fat is Hulu. Okay? No, I'm not going to institute a skip intro button, okay, to chewing the fat. Email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. If you think it's a, you know, good idea, I'll bring it up at the next board meeting. You know, I found out something yesterday that I didn't realize that I missed and I'm very disappointed. And I wanted to apologize to you, the listener, that I didn't bring this to your attention.

But Dairy Queen, although most of them have all closed around my area, which is very disappointed. They brought back their free cone day, which was Monday of this week. What? I mean, after two years? So, I realized that we talked earlier, the pandemic is still ongoing, but not at Dairy Queen. Two years it's over, Free Cone Day is back. But we missed it. So dry your eyes.

Plus, I got to tell you, the last time I went to the Dairy Queen Free Cone Day, they give you those little ones. I expected a bigger cone. Yeah, I know it's free. I know they want me to buy a bigger one, but the free cone one is way too small. And it's very disappointing. With gas prices, it's barely cost effective

to keep driving through the drive-thru to get another free cone. As I told it, last time, just give me the big one. That way I don't have to keep coming around. Keep driving around the drive-thru for the free cone. I don't know if they actually let you do that, though. It's probably like, no, you've already been here, sir.

You're not getting another free one. Move on. Do not stop at the window, sir. Continue on. Well, you know, it's worth a shot. Had I known that it was a free cone day, I would have said, hey, you know, find a dairy queen, get your free cone. And I would have also, you know, it's tough to do it now.

but I would say, you know, drive through a chick-fil-A or drive-through a Wendy's or drive-through a McDonald's and say, hey, it's free cone day. Yeah, I just want my free cone? We don't know what you're talking about, sir. It's free cone day at Dairy Queen. This is a Wendy's, sir. Well, don't you guys match your competitors' prices? Huh?

Come on now. This could be a small frosty and we'll call it even. It's worth a shot. God, that is worth a shot. So Nicholas Cage was giving an interview, and he told us pretty much what we already knew. He said that he was doing all these movies because of poor financial decisions in his life.

Several indulgent real estate purchases that he made before the real estate bubble burst in 2008. By the way, we stayed at one of his homes in San Francisco that he purchased prior to the old 08 bubble, beautiful home. in San Francisco when we were there. But it got him started spiraling into debt.

In addition to that debt, he was saddled with the costs of caring for his elderly mother. And when traditional film offers dried up, he found himself desperate to pay off his debts without filing for bankruptcy. His way out of financial ruin was to take whatever he could get.

So the phone stopped ringing, he said. it was like what do you mean we're not doing National Treasure 3 it's been 14 years why not which I agree with that actually I'm with Nick on that I've got the first two were awesome why not do a three

I think this doesn't make any sense everything else is a hodgepodge of what's been done before in Hollywood I mean Netflix should at least Netflix or Amazon should definitely put out a National Treasure 3 you're welcome Nick

by the way. I said I've got all these creditors and the IRS and I'm spending $20,000 a month, $20,000 a month to keep his mother out of a mental institution? I don't want to be sound mean. But if mom needs to be in a mental institution and you're spending $20,000 a month to keep her out of one

and you're paying the IRS and you've got other creditors coming to your door, maybe it's time to send mom to the bin, okay? Just as thought, I love you too, Mom. I love you. But talk to you later. Here, put this jacket on. Just think of it as a hug from me.

Okay, your arms are all wrapped around yourself. And I love you, but take care. so he started his string of video on demand movies which I mean Nick did a bunch of them and so I mean he's telling us what we already knew but now it's back on track he's good to go now he said that he was he was doing him because he wasn't caring but he was caring that's what he said he said I was just doing it

and not caring I was caring okay now he claims all the deaths have been paid off. His career has been on an upturn. I mean, he's got the critically acclaimed role, which I have not seen this. And I do want to see this.

Pig. And the one that's supposed to actually be really good where I think he's playing himself, right, is the unbearable weight of massive talent. That's supposed to be really good, which comes out. That comes out next month. I think that's where he plays. All right, now we've got to know. The unbearable weight of

massive talent. I think that is Nick playing himself. Please hold. Your listenership is very important to us. Thanks for holding. Please hold. Your listenership is very important to us. We're looking up an answer.

We don't know. We're looking up the answer to a question. We don't know. Wait. Just hold. Yeah, thanks for holding. Okay, so he plays a cash-strapped Nicholas Cage

appears to make a paid appearance at a billionaire's superfan's birthday party. Not anymore. That movie might have to get the axe because if the billionaire's birthday party, that's like one of those oligarchs. They don't have them anymore, my friend. You can't have an oligarch party anymore.

The oligarchs were paying for all the big stars to do the performances on their yachts. No. Those are shut down, my friends. That's not happening. Anyway, okay, so the cash strategy, IMDB for Nicholas. Cage. The cash-strapped, Nicholas Cage, agrees to make a paid appearance at a billionaire's

superfan's birthday party, but is really an informant for the CIA since the billionaire fan is a drug kingpin and gets cast in a Tarantino movie. So it's all involved, but he's playing himself, so it's supposed to be worth it. Anyway, back to Nicholas Cage. Doesn't sound that good actually. Maybe we stick with pig. Maybe we stick. Let's find out what... You know what? Let me put him on hold to find out what pig was about. Please hold.

Your listenership is very important to us. I mean it, it really is. But right now, I've got to find out what Pig, the 2021 movie, is with Nicholas Cage. So just hold on. All right, thanks for holding. We appreciate it. No, we do, really.

Okay. So the IMDB for Pig starring Nicholas Cage A truffle hunter who lives alone in the Oregon wilderness must return to his past

in Portland in search of his beloved foraging pig after she's kidnapped I do remember seeing a trailer for this movie yes because the pig gets kidnapped and then he's got to go into

the city to find his pig does that sound riveting or what Come on now. So it's taken, but with a pig. Right. And Nicholas Cage.

I mean, now. How much would you pay? I know, me too. Wait for that. We're back to video on demand. But according to Nicholas now, he claims that from here on out, I'm just going to focus on being extremely selective. as selective as I can be

I would like to make every movie as if it were my last let's all go watch pig it's the matcha or the three ensemble cadets and the deniches that I've been to deniches that they're energize o'clock the form of standard and mini

regrouped, and the embellage, too beau who is practically pre to donate and I know that I'd I'd love these summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez I'm just the most

The most best ensemble Cado des Cajorah Summer Fridays Rare Beauty Way, Cipara

Cephora collection and other part of quick you see form of standard and mini regrouped for a major quality of

free. On link on C4.C. or in magazine You know, one of the things that really irritates me

is when people come to me and talk to me about things that I've talked about on this show and I think do you not

listen to the show? You're not listen to chewing the fat? I mean, earlier today I get I get an employee here at Mercury Studios, Blazed Media.

You know, if Netflix starts cracking down on the passwords for family members, I'm going to be pissed. And that's good. I'm going to cancel them. I've read the story, and it's a pilot program. And they're starting, okay, obviously, this person has not listened to the show. All right. I've already told you that their pilot program, which they're role.

out in Chile and a couple other South American countries, which they always do because every about six months they roll out a new pilot program to scare people off of sharing their passwords. They're never going to do it here in the United States. The people here in the United States would tell them to F off. We're too important to them, okay? But when India finally becomes the biggest now, Netflix country, then they're going to start attacking us.

That pretty much will happen. But it's not going to happen for a while. All right. America is still the Netflix land. And they're not going to do anything to piss off all the families that have their kids or their kids or their parents stealing from their kids. Whichever one works, they're not going to do that. Oh, we're able to tell the IP addresses, and we'll know,

And we know if you're sharing your password and if it's not in the same household and that's part of the Netflix contractual agreement that you agreed to. We got it. Thanks Netflix. All right. I'm going to go ahead and let my kid in another city take my password.

I pay you the full of my pay you way too much money for the product that you provide for me. I'll tell you that right now. Perhaps you start creating some more content for me. And then we'll talk. Okay? that was just me and another employee here at Mercury Studios. I don't know that we still get along or not.

I'm just, he didn't seem like he was too happy with my answer. You shouldn't talk to Glenn that way. Oh, I wish it was him. Oh my gosh, I wish it was him. That would have been fun, but it wasn't. Because I already know the answer. If it's him, if it's Glenn Beck,

I don't you listen to the show? I already know the answer to that. question I would not ask. I'm not an attorney, but I do know the rules. Although I would ask it on the air because I would expect the response, the truthful response

of, no. I don't. I don't listen to your show. I don't have time to listen to your fatness or whatever it is that you call your show. That'd be his answer. So I may throw him that softball. But in real life, no, no,

I know he doesn't listen. No way. He should. He has his people listen. I'll tell you that. His people are listening. That's a fact. That, my friends, is a fact.

A fat fact. Speaking of Netflix, I started watching Bad Vegan on Netflix, and it's like a four-part docu-series. Bad vegan, fame, fraud, fugitives. And it's okay. I got a little bored with it. It was about two and a half in.

And I was like, okay, I'm going to move on now. I got Dexter to watch on Prime. Hooked on Dexter these days, man. Cannot get enough of some serial killers. But so, you know, I moved on to Dexter. But the thing about what Bad Vegan is in the beginning, this is a, you know, a restaurant tour, a New York restaurant tour.

She was on the cutting edge of vegan food in the very beginning. And, you know, the IMDB talks about, after marrying a mysterious man who claimed he could make her dog immortal, a celebrated vegan restaurateur, finds her life veering off the rails. Well, okay. I mean, I'm in. I mean, I say a headline, bad vegan, fame fraud fugitives, I'm in. But then after, you know, two and a half episodes, I'm like, eh, let's go to a serial killer for a little bit.

But in the beginning of her restaurant, she talks about how Alec Baldwin. I'm not even talking about the story. I know those are the rules When I say his name, the gunshot goes off But that's when I'm talking about the story, the Russ story. Not what I'm just bringing them up from another show. This was even before Rust. Because this was a long time ago.

So Alec goes to the restaurant and he's hot for her. I mean, Alec is ready to do a little bad vegan business. and she's had a she had a boyfriend at the time so she doesn't want to hook up with alec and so then when she breaks up with her boyfriend she's thinking oh man uh you know maybe uh maybe i'll hook up with him and uh he that's where he met his wife now at the bad vegan restaurant so she's out right but all i'm thinking about is alec I'm thinking about as him because I've got

there's a number of stuff I've got like four or five stories in the fat pile under the his name headlines and it's awesome because he's trying to avoid

all kinds of liability for the shooting he does nothing it wasn't me I got nothing to do with it you know Helena died on the set and I got nothing to do with it

he's had the we'll just we'll give you the headlines shall we Rust contract makes me untouchable that's why you love him that's why you love him

he's caring and sure I mean you gotta love him but first of all I gotta change the rules

to the stupid the stupid whole Alec Baldwin if you haven't figured it out yet the rules are full name gets the gunshot first name

gets the gun cocking those are the rules those are the rules we do for the show I mean it's just it's the way it is so anyway bald ones that's only the first name

and the whole name good I was thinking that maybe that got the cocking too but it didn't lawyers filed the arbitration claim and they alleged his deal shields him from any financial responsibility in the connection with Hutch's death. What's more, the lawyers say Baldwin's legal fees must be covered by the production as well.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's what they talked about first off. When Alec was first talking about it, I'm pretty sure he talked about that, because that was his deal with insurance and everything for the set. That's what he was talking about. Now, the family lawyer for Hutchins said, that's shameful. Really? You know what else is shameful that the family is pissed about? Is that he wanted to complete the movie.

I mean, I don't know that I blame him for that. I mean, okay, so the cinematographer dies by an accident from a gun that you were holding. He's not going to make the movie, right? I mean, I'm kind of with him on that. let's go let's get this thing going but it was a bad place all the way around according to many of the people involved in the whole film of rust and all the people around alec so i don't know that you know they were all like we're not doing this movie the movie's over what will be fun to see and that'll be coming alec is going to have to make some money off of it somehow right so he's going to have to

release the stuff that they already shot right it'll be the Helena Hutchins version of Rust. And then he'll reshoot it with, I don't know, someone who hopefully lives through the entire thing. And then it'll be their version. So you'll get the Helena Hutchins version, and you'll get the new person version of Ross. Alec, we'll make it all the way through.

And so, it's good news. All that from watching Bad Vegan. My gosh. I mean, Alec Baldwin is a nightmare. He's an elitist douche. But I like a lot of his work.

Just leave it there. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. So I see where Elon went off to Berlin

and was, you know, the big grand opening of the Gigafactory. So Tesla's got his first manufacturing plant in Europe, long-delayed facility, by the way, they've been after him. He's already has three in the U.S. and one in China. Now, do we see what the SEC, not the Southeast Conference, but the Security and Exchange Commission,

did they come up with their deadline? Because he sued over security. He was sued for securities fraud at 2018. So he signed a consent decree saying that lawyers would review some of his tweets ahead of time. He now claims that he was coerced into signing that decree and wants the rule thrown out. And the SEC had until, like yesterday, to decide, have they, did they actually do it or do they just postpone it? Oh, he was warned again. Oh, that's nice of them.

Okay, so they warned him to use caution. Use caution, Mr. Musk, in your tweets about Tesla. And they filed papers in Manhattan Federal Court that noted the Tesla CEO was bound by a 2018 agreement to get permission in advance, if you wish to tweet certain posts. And they rejected what it calls Musk's sustained. Substantit. Amorphafalus. Meritless motion to quash a subpoena

requesting records concerning his Twitter poll last November over whether to sell some of his Tesla stock. So Elon's in Berlin. He's not commenting. We'll see. He just wants to be able. He just doesn't like having to go through. Oh, because it's okay if I tweet this? I don't really blame him.

I saw a story yesterday that I thought was Elon, but it wasn't. It was really, it was about brain implants. So, I mean, that's what Elon's working on. That's what he's in trouble. He's in trouble there too. He's saying that he's, you know, abusing the monkeys. Stop it.

That's what the monkeys are there for. The monkeys are there for humans to use his test things for make life better for us. Right, Peter? You and me. We're seeing an eye to eye on that. Are we? So in a medical first, They say this new brain implant allows patients suffering from locked-in syndrome

to communicate with family and doctors via thoughts, condition, often arising from neurodegenerative diseases, leaves fully conscious patients unable to move or speak. Some would say, what kind of life is that? Oh, no, honey. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, honey.

We need a plug-pulling sound. There's got to be. This is 2022. There's got to be a plug-pulling sound effect. Now, that's Pat's stupid thing. Turn it off. Don't steal. Don't steal from Pat Gray.

He steals enough from me. Don't steal from him. But, all right, hold. Don't put him on hold. Just, we're going to find a plug sound effect. Oh, that's... Another. The first one is, the first one kind of sounded like a plug.

Unplugging. Go back to the first one. Anytime. Yeah. No. Oh. I guess there's not really a good, you don't really have a good unplugging sound from a plug. Now there are, you know, sound effects of when you pull things out of other things.

That's not necessarily a plug. No, that's what I mean. It's not a plug. Hey. You want to take that two-prong thing and pull it on out of me? Oh. Does that have a grounding prong, too? Oh, yeah.

All right. Now, I just want to, just give me something. Can I quote you on that? Yes, you can. Let's give me something. Okay. so all I need really is something like a plug on plugging sound

is what we're looking for and that's all I need really is all I need so I'm going to go back to the story of the brain implant and then we'll see if we can actually you know find a plug on plugging sound effect

so the completely locked inpatient has the brain implant now that he's able to type out words and short sentences to his family including like what he would like to eat after being implanted with a device that enables you to control a keyboard with your mind.

I mean, that's kind of freaking cool. I know, you know, I know that what you're thinking about Now we're going to have to go back to finding the, you know, the plug on plugging sound effect. All right. I hate to go and leave this pretty side. That is not an unplugging sound, okay? You may play that after the unplugging sound. And now we're not, now it's not, that's not even funny at all.

I mean, these people, these doctors are working out of their minds to get, these patients able to type and communicate. And you're talking about, you know, pulling the block. So long, farewell, I'll be to say good night. I hate to go and leave this pretty side. I'd like to say, I'm sorry, I'd like to say that. I've got one more we could do. What is that?

Oh, that's just mean. You have the gunshot and the song from... So long, no, no, I couldn't think of the stupid movie. I hate to go and leave this pretty side. Yeah, sound of music. And then we have the gunshot. But that's just... That's just mean.

stop thinking about the locked did syndrome people it does not sound like a good thing i mean they're talking about these the the findings published in nature communications okay overturned previous assumptions about the communicative skills commutative skills of people who have lost all voluntary muscle control including movement of the eyes or mouth as well as giving a unique insight into what it's like to be in a locked-in state. Also known as pseudocoma. I mean, we've seen the movies. We've seen the movies.

You don't want none of the pseudo-coma. It's a rare condition where people are conscious and can see, hear, and smell, but are unable to move or speak due to complete paralysis. of their voluntary muscles as a result of the progressive neurodegenerative disease, ALS.

I'm not going to pronounce those. Amorotropic amorphalus. Lateral sclerosis. That actually works ALS. I just can't stop thinking about it being locked. I mean, that sounds horrible. And so we're

using, this is what I get out of this story. All right. We're using these people, like Elon's using the monkeys for his implants. Only we're using humans to see if it could work. I don't know, you know, are you letting, if they come to you and say, yeah, Uncle Billy has got locked in syndrome. We could put a few implants in them and see if we can get them to talk to us and figure it out, see what works, what doesn't. or we can just, you know, pull the plug. Are you letting them do the implant thing?

Are you letting them pull the Elon monkeys as the test subjects? I think I am. I think Billy thanks me in the end. You know, if it works. If it works. If it doesn't work, it could be an issue. Billy may come back. But he can't come back because he's got locked in syndrome.

So, ah, go ahead. So long, farewell, I'll be to say good night. I hate to go and leave this pretty sight. It's just mean. It's just mean. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
