Starting point is 00:00:35 We have got a lot of fat to get to today on chewing the fat. It is Fat Pyle Friday. So let's get started. Procter & Gamble, bending the knee to Chinese social media, which is really a government account. But they have posted an ad on WeChat, which is social networking. platform in China.
Starting point is 00:01:01 They wanted to promote a line of female beauty products. And they said, hey, women's feet smell five times worse than men's. If you don't believe it, smell it. And then they showed an infographic, which included a series of unsubstantiated claims regarding feminine hygiene. Now, you know, it could have been just a joke. However, we know that the U.S. consumer good giants, Procter, and Gamble didn't cite any specific source. But in 2019, a study published in the National Library of Medicine, and who doesn't read every study published in the National Library of Medicine, found that women's feet in general boasted a higher biodiversity of cultured bacteria.
Starting point is 00:01:58 species, which there were 17 individual species, and men had 14 individual species. So, kind of true. But scientists also said, oh, that's not statistically significant with regard to cleanliness. No, but it is true that women have a higher biodiversity of cultured bacterial species. So one could make the assumption that women's feet smell. I don't know about five times worse, but worse than men's. Well, oh my gosh, it is a sexist advertisement. It's been slammed by detractors because heaven forbid you make some kind of joke in today's world.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Trista's trying to sell a product. No, you've got to be factual for everything. And it better be factual by the fact checkers. So the ad also said that the odorousness. of women's feet containing more sweat glands. While the discrepancy is, I don't know, true, they believe that men's feet generally smell worse. Oh, you believe that?
Starting point is 00:03:16 But you don't want Procter & Gamble saying that. Oh, okay, no problem. Now, like I said, they bent the knee, though. Following the outcry, Procter & Gamble issued an apology to on the platform on Webo and they said we sincerely apologize for the article's inappropriate content which
Starting point is 00:03:37 disrespected women no it didn't but okay so if you say so it did Procter & Gamble I'm sorry P&G always advocates equal tolerant and respectful values we also are going to go ahead and just delete
Starting point is 00:03:57 this particular item and we're just going to overhaul our whole WeChat account, okay? Now, the people that are upset, it's not going to matter anyway. This advertisement shows they look down on women. And this is some sort of mind control, humiliating women while they're still making money from them. Yeah, they're just trying to say that your feet stink, okay? Here's some products to help you out. Have a nice day.

Starting point is 00:08:03 Don't forget, I mean, Cruz killed 14 students at Parkland and three members of the staff at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on Valentine's Day in 2018. I mean, horrific today. And he pled guilty. And now a jury is going to decide whether they recommend he serve life in prison or be sentenced to death. I know which way I'm voting, but hey, that's just me. So one lady, this Miss Bristol, Judge Scherer, I'll tell you one thing, too, another thing, just as a side note, the judge, the pictures that they posted of her, this Judge Elizabeth Scherer, wow, you become a fan of the judge. I don't know that you want to go in front of her or not, but it's, you know, I'm not opposed to looking at her. That's all I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:08:57 so um miss bristol asks the question this is a whole entire month uh first of all let me clarify myself july second is my birthday july fourth is my sons and the 18th is my other son the judge says
Starting point is 00:09:19 speak a little bit slower and she notes the dates that were mentioned the sentencing is expected to take place from June to September. Yeah, July 7th, July 4th, July 18th. And again, I need to figure something out. I have my sugar daddy that I see every day. Ah, the judge, I'm sorry?
Starting point is 00:09:40 Yeah, my sugar daddy. I'm married and I have my sugar daddy. I see him every day. Okay, all right, ma'am. We'll come back to you. Okay. Thank you. So this particular potential jurist was released from possible
Starting point is 00:09:56 Jury and Dirty. Have a nice day. Others cited work commitments and others I have pre-booked travel. I've already got stuff planned. Do you? Okay. Well, like claiming that the jury selection is going to take place until the end of May? Jury selection is going to, it's going to take that long to find a jury. No? Just say yes. Let's get this thing going and then we'll figure it out whether you want to, you know, have the, you know, the prosecutor get up and say, hey, put them in, let's send him to the death penalty, send him, put him on death row. And the defense can say, oh, no, no, no, no. He just needs to be in prison without parole forever.
Starting point is 00:10:40 And then go decide. It shouldn't be taken that long. But what do I know? What do I know? But if you don't want to, you don't want to serve on a jury, be sure to tell the judge, yeah, I got birthdays. and I got travel and, you know, I'm married and I got a sugar daddy.
Starting point is 00:11:00 So this whole jury thing is putting a crimp in my style. You know what else is putting a crimp in my style? Yeah, if I'm the CEO of Red Lobster and I've been on the job for eight months, yeah, I got to quit. I got to let go. I got to talk to you later. I got to look for something else.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Really? Yeah. Kelly Vallade, a veteran, or V-A-L-A-D-E, Kelly Amorphopalus. Yeah, she said that she's out as of April 15.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Yeah, this has been an incredibly difficult but necessary decision. So what happened? Either she got pushed out or something happened. Maybe she was fooling around with a little red lobster bit this on the job as the old CEO.
Starting point is 00:11:44 But she claimed we've accomplished a lot in a short period of time. We've built a great leadership team. Really, because we found out that they have brought in some new people since she's been there. So I know that we're going to, you know, work well with the board of directors to ensure business continuity during the search for a permanent replacement. But, you know, everything is fine.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Don't worry about it. Really? Yeah. What about, you know, the other management changes? that we have a new marketing officer and we have a new chief financial officer. So that's happening too. Now, we know that the Thailand-based seafood producer,
Starting point is 00:12:40 Thai Union, led the investors group that acquired Red Lobster from those bastards over at Golden Gate Capital. So, I mean, I'm sure that, and COVID. Oh my gosh. I mean, COVID crushed these restaurants. And Red Lobster was not the only one. I mean, the CEO that was there before the former CEO, Kim said that was a challenging time. The most challenging time, in fact, in company's history. Yeah, no kidding.
Starting point is 00:13:12 And then they tried to fire it back up again and got hit with an Omicron variant. So that's because now Kelly is gone. It's been eight months. I can't do this anymore. I'm out. a nice day. That's not a good sign for red lobster. I will say it's been quite some time since I've been to a red lobster, but I do like red lobster. It's been quite a while, though, since I've been there. So maybe that's part of the
Starting point is 00:13:39 problem. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink not from red lobster. Yeah, I'll teach him. So good. Thought I was going to miss that, didn't you? So according to this, goldfish, our American teens, most preferred snack. What? 11% listing them as their favorite in the latest Piper Sandler survey. Not only are the teens' fave snack, but 72% of the respondents who listed goldfish as their top choice said they plan to eat at least the same amount or more in the next six months. 28% said they plan to cut back on their goldfish consumption. Yeah, I mean, that's what you do right away.
Starting point is 00:14:38 You're concerned about your goldfish consumption. I will say that ever so often, some goldfish show up at the house, and you're like, oh, yeah, I forget how much I like goldfish. But I wouldn't put them on a list as a snack. I guess maybe someone in my house would when they get the old Sam's Club, Costco size goldfish container. So I was looking at this 43rd semi-annual taking stock with teens survey, spring of 2022. Self-reported spending improved by 4% to $2,367.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Uh-huh. Parent contribution was 60%. Yeah, no kidding. Females led increase in spending with all females, spending 9% led by clothing. footwear? Yeah, no kidding. It goes on and talk about what they're spending it on. Alta is, remained the number one preferred beauty destination with 48%
Starting point is 00:15:42 mind share. Yeah, Sephora remained number two. Yeah, Alta is a big, big stopping off point for the females in my household. Chick-fil-A is the number one restaurant. Wow. Chippolei, up to number three. And the Starbucks, main number two. But that's not a, I mean, they keep,
Starting point is 00:16:05 Tarbucks, is it a restaurant? I guess. You get your little donut ball there along with your coffee, I guess. Okay. Teen's interest in plant based meat is slipping. Oh, huh.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Huh. Huh. Huh. Interesting. They spend 30% of their daily video consumption on Netflix and YouTube. Yeah, no kidding. HBO Max gained a share with social media, number one, a TikTok. Snapchat, number two, and coming out at number three, once again, as the gram. So, yeah, I mean, but those are the top three.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. A lot of Snapchatters and TikTokers, too, in my household. And I was against the whole, don't even get me started on the TikTok thing. Don't do it. I don't want to hear it. Anyway, that's a little. Let's see, Oma, Emma Chamberlain held her spot as the top social media personality. Kanye, it's yay, damn it, it's not Kanye.
Starting point is 00:17:11 It's yay. Moved up from number eight to number two. Wow, yay, bumped up a bunch. Kylie Jenner, David Dobrick, Charlie DiMilio fell from the top ten, while Zendaya, Gideon. And MarketPlyer made their debut. Well, congratulations. Anyway, that's just a little bit of the old Piper Sandler, 43rd annual, semi-annual, I'm sorry, taking stock with teens survey. Hey, congratulations to Pink Floyd, too.
Starting point is 00:17:44 You know them, you love them, do you? They are not a fan of this network, and they, well, I could tell you some Pink Floyd stories. But to just know that they have a new song out, and good for them. They decided they needed to get back together. It's called Hey, Hey, Rise Up. It should be available now, as you're hearing this podcast today on the 8th of April, 2022. Their songs should be available. Hey, hey, rise up.
Starting point is 00:18:15 See, David Gilmore, Nick Mason, joined by Guy Pratt and Nitanzwanee, with an extraordinary vocal by Andrei Klyknuck, yuck. Amheri... Amorphafalus. Pretty sure he doesn't go by that. But I see where the Hay-Hay Rise Up video is out, and you can watch it. It starts out with on February 22nd, Russia invaded Ukraine. Boombok singer, Andrea Kut.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Amorpha Phalas. That's not what it says. He ended his U.S. tour and returned home to Ukraine. Three days later, he posted a video on Instagram, singing the Ukrainian song, The Red Viburnum in the Meadow. And man is. that you can't get me humming the red viburnum in the me more than when it's springtime in Texas and it just makes me think of the red viberum in the meadow so I'm sure it's going to be a
Starting point is 00:19:18 you know big hit for Pink Floyd hey hey rise up so I had an ad pop-up today this morning while scrolling the gram. And it's for a luggage. And I had never seen this luggage before. It's Remoa, R-I-M-O-W-A, with, and the front ad is with Rihanna. And no one builds a legacy by standing still. And they have these four icons. This is their ad.
Starting point is 00:19:50 I clicked on the link. I know. And four icons, maybe that's why they put it in my timeline. They knew I was going to click on it. And four icons redefined travel as we know it. They have Rihanna, they have LeBron James, who is in the classic silver luggage, and then they have Patty Smith. I guess, you know, yeah, I know who she is.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Is she iconic, I guess? Roger Federer with the classic black. And according to Patty Smith, travel is its own book. And it talks about her poem. It says, read her. her full poem. And its travel is its own book. And I just want to, I think I'm going to read you the,
Starting point is 00:20:35 the Patty Smith poem, which looks beautiful. Oh, she even narrates it on this ad. I mean, we could get Patty's version, too. I don't know that I want to do that. Hold on. Let's see if Patty, what else do I? I may have a few other tabs open with audio, so cool your jets for a second, okay? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:05 What his face pops up there? Pat McAfee, I catch a little bit of him, his audio is up, so we'll get rid of that. Let's get to the great Patty Smith and her audio, shall we? I bet it's great. Captured in film. Oh, yeah. In memory, form its leaves that when turned, reveal a story of a life.
Starting point is 00:21:31 We long to add new pages. Oh, God, no, I can't. Images we have captured in film in memory form its leaves that when turned reveal a story of life. A rock, a river. Oh, my gosh. We long to add new pages.
Starting point is 00:21:50 We long to explore. We long for new heights. Don't forget, this is for luggage, okay? I mean, she's writing this because it's it's a luggage deal that the federer and her and lebron and riana have okay we revisit places in a new light new shadows forming on architecture on winding streets we long to cross welcoming bridges connecting sea and sky and city we are ready to break through barriers to don our coats, to gather provisions, to reclaim motion, to see with new eyes, the familiar and the

It's the matcha or the three ensemble Cado Cephora of FACC that I just denishé who me energize so time? Hmm, it's the ensemble. The form of Standard and Mini regrouped Hello, Ben. And the

Starting point is 00:23:24 Procurry you see form standard and mini regrouped for a better quality of free, on
Starting point is 00:23:28 C4 or in magazine. I feel like this is not true but Carnival the
Starting point is 00:23:35 world's largest cruise operator said the week ending April 3rd was its busiest week in bookings history uh busiest week of bookings in history there's got to be some kind of weird thing that they're playing with numbers on that because i feel like that's again not true uh i feel like those cruise ships are floating incubators for all things ick. That's probably not a good ad campaign. For the cruise ships. Hello, come join us on the floating incubator of all things ick.
Starting point is 00:24:20 But I just kind of feel that way. Oh, Jeff, cruises are fine. You go there, you get your room, and then you go gamble and eat and get fat to hang out on the deck and pool and slide. and they're floating cities. Okay, whatever, that's fine. Well, I just feel like they're floating incubators of all things, ick. That's why I do ad campaign for Carnival.
Starting point is 00:24:48 What do you think? Carnival, call me, I'm here. If you're thinking about getting a new gig and you're thinking, do I want to work for the cruise ship industry and be on the... be on the incubator for all things ick. Or do I want to be a truck driver? I would go for a truck driver. No one supports truckers more than this program and to myself,
Starting point is 00:25:17 chewing the fat and Jeff Fisher. I'm telling you. But Walmart just enhanced becoming a truck driver. They made it even better. The pay raise for 12,000 truck drivers start range for new drivers, $95,000 and $110,000. The average, $87,05. That was the average, and that's going to go up now.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Nice. And they've got a new training program. I'm sorry, a new fleet development program, new private fleet development program, this 12-week program taught by companies' established drivers who will be called certified driver training. trainers. Nice. So the people that have been driving for a while now will get to train the the other drivers. And you can become they're going to be the certified driver trainers.
Starting point is 00:26:14 You're going to be then they're going to turn you into an established driver. I mean, that's a good gig. They said the average salary for a long haul driver is $56,491. That's a starting wage. So, or I mean, that's the average for a long haul driver. So Walmart is doubling that. That's a lot. You can quote me on that. That's a lot. Now, they claim here that trucker shortages more severe as demand to move freight
Starting point is 00:26:46 reaches historic highs. The American Trucking Association, it's a trade group, estimates that the nation is short about 80,000 drivers. Oh, okay. Some industry experts and individual drivers disagree with the old ATA assessment, claiming that the issues run deeper than just low pay. Uh-huh. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Starting point is 00:27:19 the number of workers in the trucking industry is actually up 0.9% from two years ago, but the average number of employees at trucking companies has decreased from 10.6 in 2019 to 9.4 at the end of 2021, marking a pivot towards smaller carriers with less demanding schedules. Drivers in fleets with 30 plus million in annual revenue had a whopping 92% turnover rate at the end of 2020. Wow. So the big companies get big turnover. That probably means they're not treating their drivers. part of the high turnover has to do with low pay uh yeah and the most recent data puts uh their median annual pay at 47,000 that's even lower than the 50s wow uh but they talk about the schedules and
Starting point is 00:28:14 unpaid wait times uh is agonizing we've talked to plenty of truckers uh and that's you know that's a big deal i would if you're a trucker and you reach out and you you know you know some of the problems email me chewing the fat of the blaze.com and I'll get back to you and you can let me know your thoughts. I would love that very much. They're talking about a University of Michigan study found that self-driving trucks could eliminate about 500,000 jobs in the coming years. Well, yeah, look, we've talked about that as well. And I don't think that's going to, that may eliminate some of the long haul truckers,
Starting point is 00:28:52 but that's not going to eliminate those self-driving. semis are not going to be delivering in cities. They're still got to have truckers and deliverers to reach the destination. Right? I mean, you're still, and plus, you know, you might be able to have some cross-country driverless trucks, but I don't I just don't, I don't see that
Starting point is 00:29:17 taking, I don't see that hurting as much. I really don't. But, you know, what do I know? I just feel like the long haul in many areas aren't going to be able to do the self-driving trucks. I mean, you know, right now, at least in the next, you know, 20, 30 years. They'll be able to do the long halls between big cities. I don't know. I have to sit down and think about that a little bit more because I feel like you're still going to have truckers do the, from where the self-driving truckers.
Starting point is 00:29:53 truck stop to their final destination. Right? The self-driving truck isn't going to take it into Bill's warehouse. But maybe it will. Maybe it will. And maybe we're all just going to be getting universal basic income and working for robots. That was uplifting, huh? Okay, not really.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Maybe you'd be driving the new four-wheeled electric bike urban delivery vehicle that UPS is testing and making. I know. They're making a four-wheeled. E-Quod electric cargo bike for deliveries in densely packed urban areas, where, of course, bikes have better and easier access to complement its push into electric vehicles. They look like a little kid's vehicle, but it's UPS. It's got the UPS green and the big window in front.
Starting point is 00:30:42 You know, look, I see in our old neighborhood that we used to live in, and I don't know if they, I don't remember if they did it in this neighborhood this year or not, but in our old neighborhood, they would, they rented, and I say they, UPS, and I guess it was UPS, or maybe they all got together and, you know, the big delivery product, come all, and they rented a storage space not far, it's right just outside of the neighborhood, and UPS would then deliver from golf carts and wagons in the neighborhood, so that the delivery trucks just had to come and drop off at the garage.
Starting point is 00:31:21 And then they had the minor deliveries. They don't, now they'll have these. How cool is that? Right, an electric bike? So you can just pedal and push and plug it in. And the electric battery has a range around 40 miles. And so it would be great. And if you pedal hard, you can go faster.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Yeah, then if you put, I don't know how much weight these bad boys will put on it. But I feel like the more packages, and that's usually the case, The heavier, the E-quod, the slower it's going to go. But maybe that's just me. I don't know. I could be wrong. So if you're tired of being a trucker and you think those electric long-haul trucks are taking your jobs, you can go work for UPS and use the old four-wheeled E-quod electric cargo bike and you can zip it,
Starting point is 00:32:12 okay, because that's what you're going to be doing. I see where I really bummed that my son didn't get invited to this down in Austin. But Elon Musk, my man, Elon. call me what are you doing uh he had the big grand opening event for his new uh mega factory in austin near the austin airport it is a monster building i mean he even joked put it on his side it's taller than the burghs caliphah which is uh you only the tallest skyscraper in the world it says here in the story it's the world's oh it's the world's tallest skyscraper skyscraper i thought it was just the world i thought it was said this the tallest skyscraper in dubai yeah it's also in the world
Starting point is 00:32:51 And he also said that, and I don't know that this is a factual true, but it's Elon, so I've got to believe it. 194 billion hamsters could fit into the building. That's pretty funny. Now, man, I wanted my son to have an invite to this party so bad. But he talked about how he's going to make 500,000 units of the Model Y in a single year in Austin. He talked about the company starting production of its cyber truck, and he knows that timelines have shifted, and things have gotten a little out of hand with chip shortages and the invasion.
Starting point is 00:33:33 But he's saying Tesla vehicles comprise more than 75% of all fully electric cars sold to the U.S. today, which is amazing because this administration and our president mentions Elon Musk never. Never. it is absolutely amazing that Elon doesn't get mentioned by this administration. But man, the cyber rodeo party took place. It looked like it was fun. Elon had his black cowboy hat and his buckle and a t-shirt. He's the man.
Starting point is 00:34:07 It's only a $1.1 billion factory in Austin, Texas. So I don't know, maybe you can wheel your UPS electric. What's it called again? the exact, it's an electric, the four-wheel E-quod, the electric cargo bike. You can bike that down to Austin and work for Elon at the Tesla factory. Not a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:34:44 It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So, no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no. But chicken tenders, yes.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Because those are groceries, and we deliver those too. Along with your favorite restaurant food, alcohol, and other everyday essentials. Order Uber Eats now. For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details. Speaking of Elon, I mean, he's busy.
