Under the heading of Well, that's a bummer. I guess that would be a bummer news. Cerebral, the mental health, telehealth startup said yesterday It would pause Adderall and ADHD medication prescriptions for new patients. Now the move comes amid their, you know, growing concern that the startup's prescription writing practices aren't quite strict enough.

Just a few days ago, the company's preferred pharmacy, TruePill, said it would no longer fulfill or deliver prescriptions for controlled substances like Adderall and V-V-A-V-A-N-S-E. V-A-N-S-E.

It's another, you know, Adderall-type prescription drug. Now, I don't know if that means that if you already have a prescription that True-Pill will fulfill it, or that they're going to be fulfilled, from another pharmacy. But cerebral was the lockdown diamond.

I mean, they registered 200,000 plus patients throughout the pandemic. They're expanded to all 50 states. They've got Simone Biles as its chief impact officer. And they valued it as $4.8 billion. Now, some of the former employees have accused Cerebrookie. of over-prescribing meds. Oh, okay. They say that they've overworked providers

and over-marketing on social apps. Oh, I hate that they're promoting themselves on social apps. Huh. So I know that one of their former VPs has sued the company for over-prescribing the ADHD, meds, which is, you know, very possible. But, you know, if you are, if you're a customer of cerebral and are getting Adderall or Vavans medication prescriptions through them, you may want to start looking

somewhere else because you're not going to be getting it from them and isn't that a bummer. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So I did a step. Stop by on Brad Staggs Mojo 5O morning show, whatever it's called there, over there at Mojo 5O radio. And Brad and I were talking about a story that we found yesterday about the storage wars guy, Dan Dotson, the auctioneer, who does storage wars. And he was telling a story about someone finding $6 million inside a storage unit that they bought for $390. That would be pretty sweet.

and that's the hope of everyone, right? That's why you do it. You hope to find stuff that's worth a lot of money that you paid not much for. Hello, that's why you go to yard sales. Everybody hopes that they're going to find the painting that has the Constitution behind it. We've done stories all the time about the guys

that find the pieces of art at yard sales, or I'm sorry, they're called estate sales now. We did the story yesterday about the Wicked Bible, the guy found at the estate sale, that, you know, it's just amazing fines. And then he goes on in the story to talk about an event he was at where an older Asian woman at the table next to me kept looking at me. Like she wanted to tell me something. Eventually, she walked up and told me her husband works with a guy.

So this is a lady who's telling Dan about her husband who works with a guy. So she's hearing the story from her husband about another guy. So, you know, who knows. But she claimed that the guy bought $500. I bought a unit from Dan for $500 and found a safe inside. Inside that safe was $7.5 million. Now, that's amazing in and of itself. I mean, what a find, right?

Part of the story was that one person couldn't open it, and then finally somebody opened it, and there was $7.5 million inside. Now, the story goes on to say that he didn't keep the money. He said he was contacted by a lawyer who claimed to represent the... original owners of the unit and so he was offered 465,000 to give the rest of the money back and he said no no I'm not doing that now according to this story the second offer came in and the second offer was nine hundred and thirty thousand dollars which he accepted and then returned the rest I would say my first gut reaction to that is no Uh, how about no?

But I guess, you know, it could have been owned by, my guess is, my personal guess is that it was owned by some kind of cartel member or a Russian mafia guy or girl. And they were like, look, that's our money. And, uh, we want it back. And we'll give you, we'll give you something to give it back to us. Uh, if you don't give us any money, we're going to just come and take the money. we're going to just come and take the money. You decide which. And I'm reminded, you know, they said that he was offered the first one,

and then he was offered the second one, and he took the second one. I was reminded of a story. When I lived in New Jersey for a summer, I rented an apartment from this guy on Park Avenue right there by the Lincoln Tunnel in Weehawk in New Jersey. And he had a house there on the hill that has, you know, three levels. And he had three apartments. And the bottom one was, you know, open.

and he rented it to me. And he, you know, I got a great price on it. He said, don't worry about you. You know what he's assigned anything. He knew who I was, which was very kind of him. And he was a great guy. He bought a ranch down in the Carolinas, and he just wanted someone to live in the bottom apartment

and make a little extra cash because he was getting ready to sell it. All those houses in Wehawken along the Park Avenue there were being purchased and revamped by the Russian mafia guys because they are the ones that had all the money. apparently not anymore they're getting seized but uh and he said that he's just waiting for the knock on the door to for someone to you know come to him and buy the house and he said you don't decline twice they make you an offer you're able to say no i don't want that i want and then they come back again and make a second offer and you always take the second offer you because if you don't take the second offer uh something happens

what? You know, maybe the house burns down. Maybe you get into some sort of accident falling down the stairs. I'm not sure what could happen. But you take the second offer. And that's what I think happened here. Is that because of, even if you don't say anything, like the odds are, you look, when you find a bunch of money or something like that, I've talked a long time about you just put it in the closet. And that's the way you live. That's the money that you spend on stuff. And you don't tell anyone. You know, you don't try to, you gradually put extra money

into your bank account, into your funds, but you don't eat a little at a time. But when you go shopping, you go to get gas, you buy the kids' shoes, you go, you know, you use that money.

And so you don't tell anybody. But if it's owned, if that, you know, storage unit was owned by, you know, a member of a group that you don't want to necessarily know, of close and personal,

they're going to know that that money was there. And despite you being quiet, they're going to, hello, Mr. Vizier, understood you bought the storage unit. Yes, I did. There was a safe in there, not when I bought it.

I don't know what happened. What? There was a safe in there? Not when I took it over. I looked everywhere. There was no safe in there from me. that's the only way you give that money back

only way because other than that you just know you should not have let the the agreement lapse on the storage unit it's now mine unless it's part of a group that you don't want to have to come back to the house

anymore and I'm sure that's what happened it is that time of year again the four day orgy extravaganza that promises kinky customers Unlimited Sex as they get underway today

somewhere in the greater Las Vegas Nevada area from today through the weekend tickets over only 4,500 bucks and it's put on by the Good Girls Company. Now they're only selling 50 tickets.

They've hired 100 prostitutes for the event so each guest has access to two girls per day. So I guess you have to like girls to go to this event. All the girls have been tested. They're free of any sexual diseases. And at any moment, you can switch girls with the other 50 guests if they agree to it.

It's, of course, in an undisclosed location outside of Las Vegas. And, you know, is it worth it for $4,500 bucks? Yeah. Let me go on record to say. Yeah, it's worth it. Now, there's HIV testing and STI testing on site. They don't mention anything about COVID or any COVID testing, but I'm sure that they have it. You're not going to have an event in today's world without that.

And there's only 50 guests. Now, they claim in this story, and they've claimed before. This happened before, and then it got canceled. Remember the one time it was supposed to be in, I think, Columbia. and then the Columbia people got pissed and they canceled it and so you know I who knows but you know that will it get canceled in the U.S. if they find it if they can find the undisclosed location

the problem is they also talk about how it's drug friendly and I guess that means that if you bring it it's okay they have horseback riding and they're going to have some kind of And they have casino tours listed on their event schedule. If you want to take the time to do that, how about no. And they're having some holograph concert available. It sounds like why would I do that? And they're saying that you can go on helicopter rides as well.

And all of that is cool. The drug-friendly thing, I mean, I'm a fan. But I would say that, you know, good luck. If they've, you know, now you're talking about breaking the law, right? They talked about what type of drugs were there during the last event. One of the partygoers was saying that there was all kinds of drugs there. I don't know if you were to purchase it, if they're selling it to you, which is another problem. Or if they just have nothing to do with it, that one guy is or one girl is the drug dealer and has, you know, everything you need.

And they, you know, the company, the good girls company has, we don't. have anything to do with it. I don't know what you're talking about. Now, if you are in, you know, in the party mood and you have the money, why not? It's four days. No sleep. I mean, you want to stay up for the whole time. I'll tell you that. It would be very difficult to think about sleeping for those four days. So, you know, they talked about how the, you know, pills and pop and cocaine were there, and they were doing that, uh, the stuff called, uh, toothy, the pink drug that you snort. And that's, you know, sure there's been overdoses and stuff with that, but there's been overdoses with all those drugs. It's not going to happen to you. Stop it.

And so, you know, I would say that if you could afford it, $4,500 for four days, does not sound that expensive for an event that you're going to go and just have do nothing but business for four days. I mean, holy cow, it would be, uh, for 4,500 bucks, I would be well worth the money. You're spending that on vacation anyway. Oh, don't give me that perv. It's a bunch of perverts. Yeah?

I know. but you know so you figure if you got to spend money on the drugs and the alcohol and uh you know anything that you drinks and stuff now you're talking about some cash so you figure the four days is going to cost you what

10 grand? Uh, I don't know you got an extra 10 grand laying around might be worth it. Well and of course you were single. Don't be silly. I'm not talking about committing adultery. That would be

just completely wrong. Speaking of doing drugs, though, Eli Lilly has a new weight loss drug that they say is going to be released in not too short a time. They're in a 72-week trial. It involved 2,539 people who were obese or overweight

with another medical condition. Now, they're the people taking the highest dose of the experimental drug Tyer Z-I T-I-R-Z-E-P-A-T-I-D Amorphophalus No, no, it's T-E-R-E-E-E-T-E-E-E-R-Z-E-E-A-T-I-D-E.

Amorphapalus No. Terzepatide. Yeah. Okay, they lost roughly 50 pounds or 21% of their weight in the late stage clinical trial. That is amazing. Those taking a low dose of the drug,

which is injected weekly, lost about 35 pounds or about 15% of their body weight. That's incredible. Be ready for this weight loss drug to hit the market. It's going to be worth billions. And I don't know what they're going to end up calling diseperatement. tied. It seems like they're probably going to have another little name for it. Like, uh, lose the fat prescription. But, uh, you know, I would call it chewing the fat. Oh, hello. Eli Lilly, call me or email me at chewing the fat at the blaze.com.

You can direct message me on Twitter too at Jeffrey JFR. You can, you know, message me on Facebook or Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. Either way, we can help you come up with a, you know, good name for Tarazepa. What? Tari. Tepatai. Yeah, that's what I said.

It's not a whopper when he purchases it. He's pissed and he's suing him. He's doing Burger King. His class action lawsuit against Burger King is a bid to hold the company accountable. Damn it, he wants his money back. In addition to monetary damages, he demands that Burger King correct the deceptive behavior. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I feel cheated when the actual size of the burgers is like 35% smaller than what they say. And it just, the company portrays these burgers, oversized meat patties with ingredients that

overflow over the bun to make it appear that the burgers are at least 35% larger in size. They contain more than double the meat. But no, they do not. That does not happen. And he's not the only one. The complaint sites tweets. tweets from angry customers and media reports to argue the problem is widespread. Advertisements for its burger from Burger King, the menu items are unfair and financially

damaging consumers as they are receiving food that is much lower in value than what was promised. So we'll see. The lawsuit alleges that Burger King began to exaggerate the size of its menu items in September of 2017. So anyone who bought an overstated Burger King item between then and when the lawsuit is resolved is considered a member of the plaintiff's class action lawsuit. According to the attorney out of Florida, Anthony Russo,

big or small justice is justice and laws are laws. And just because something happens to appear in someone's opinion to be minor doesn't mean that it is. think about it. To think about it was me, not Anthony. Anthony went on to say left-on-checked misleading advertisements could become the rule rather than the exception. Now, you know, I mean,

everyone wants to have their product shine in their commercials. But Burger King, this is not the first time. In 2010, British regulators found an ad for Burger King's Tender Crisp chicken sandwich. They found that to be misleading. and they pulled it off the air. The band followed a customer complaints that the Tender Crips size

and an investigation by the Advertising Standards Authority. I love them. The burgers, not really, the burgers in the hands of an average-sized man did not fill the hands to the same extent as the burger featured in the advertisement. So they've already been pulling this for years. So the Tender Crisp was not included in the current lawsuit,

but the list, includes the single quarter-pounder king, fully loaded croissantwich, and the chain signature, the whopper. I do like the chrysanwich, though. I'm a fan of the Burger King, Chrisanich, but that's just me. But it's amazing how many lawsuits

against food companies there are. And many of them could be, you know, frivolous, no question about it. But they say now more than 280 cases like this were filed in 2021. class action lawsuits against food and beverage companies. That's quite a bit. And they had the Pop-Tart lawsuit that we talked about

where they filed $5 million against Kellogg's because the Pop-Tarts were not contained as many strawberries as advertised. Now they threw that out. The judge dismissed a lawsuit against Pop-Tarts. We'll see. No, wait. Now, wait a minute.

It says here that the judge last week dismissed a lawsuit with similar. allegations about strawberry pop-tarts. But it doesn't talk about that particular lawsuit. So maybe that lawsuit is still ongoing. Those damn big Pop-Tart, man. I mean,

Kellogg's a big company. They're suing the United Kingdom government right now as we speak over the display of their cereals. I know. So they've tried to have reasonable conversation with the government without success. So they are going before the

courts in New England because there's new restrictions in the United Kingdom limiting the promotion of food and drink that is high in fat, salt, and sugar. And that's supposed to start later this year. So shoppers will no longer see unhealthy items featured at checkout stores, the entrances and the IELNs. So the government says, oh, these will help tackle childhood obesity and wants healthy snacks to be at the forefront of store advertisements. Oh, okay.

Now, Kellogg's argument, I don't know that I buy it, but I'm not the court in the United Kingdom. Kellogg says, Hey, hey, hey, your restrictions fail to consider the nutritional value of the milk added to the products. Oh, okay. So according to the BBC,

Crunchy nut and fruit and fiber are two Kellogg's brands that are considered to be high in fat, sugar, or salt in their dry form. However, adding milk is going to reduce the proportion of sugar and salt content in relation to the overall weight of the serving. So we should be right up there at the front of the store. I mean, I hope they win. They should be able to, the store should be able to put what they want where they want. kind of agonizing and you decide what personal choice i know i know weird as long as we're talking about cereal i see where a tropicana oh we missed it oh darn it darn it yesterday may the fourth be with you day was national orange juice day gosh darn it and we missed the tropicana crunch cereal made

specifically to be mixed with orange juice instead of milk. Yum! Tropicana Crunch! It's the first ever cereal to be created to pair with Tropicana pure premium orange juice. Now, I'm a fan of Tropicana Orange Juice. I like it. I'm a big fan.

I could be a fan of the Tropicana Crunch cereal. I don't know. Does it taste different with milk? Apparently, it's on sale. It started, you know, on sale yesterday, may the fourth be with you day. Apparently the company is going to give away boxes for free. What?

Oh my gosh. I've had this story in my pie in the fat pile for several days now. And I kept, you know, I'll get to it. I'll get to the cereal with orange juice. I didn't realize this is what happens when you don't open it up. You just go with the headline. So I got to run to the store. See if they still have some friends.

There's no way. If you went to the story yesterday, you would have received your Tropicana Crunch free box. And it's probably just one of the little ones. They don't have the full box. You're going to have to purchase. Anyway, but they want you to buy the, here we'll give you a box of Tropicana Crunch.

Buy our Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice. That's only a million dollars a half gallon. Goes great with this cereal. Doesn't say if it's good with milk as well. After experimenting with various flavors, and textures, Tropicana decided on a granola-based cereal because it can resist the acidity in OJ better than flakes, which would become soggy more rapidly. The honey almond flavor was chosen to counteract the tartness of the orange juice.

It's a bold attempt to address some of orange juice's perceived faults. For the second time in the last year with the orange juice matching cereal, Tropicana toothpaste was produced last year as a limited edition giveaway of a toothpaste that was specifically designed to keep your orange juice tasting good after brushing your teeth. I didn't get any of the free

tropicalita toothpaste either. I've got... I've got to put May 4th on the calendar other than the... May the 4th be with you. It's the matcha or the three ensemble of Cephora of the fact that I just of deniches

who energize all the ensemble. The form of standard and mini regrouped, what are you

know, and the embellage, too be able to be able to give to do you know what I know they're

I'm sure the summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Salina Gomez. I'm just the most all the

special of the fendos summer Fridays Rare Beauty Way Cifora Collection and other part

of the Procurry you see forma standard and for a quality price on

on C4 or magazine All right we've got some headlines that you

should No, just for, you know, hanging out and knowing what's going on around the world. A jersey worn by Argentina's Diego Maradona when he scored the famous Hand of God goal in the 1986 World Cup. And who can forget the famous 1986 World Cup Hand of God gold, just sold for $9.3 million at Sotheby's auction. So congratulations for to the... new owner of Argentina's Diego Maradona's Hand of God jersey. It's the most expensive piece of sports memorabilia ever sold at auction. The original modern Olympic manifesto in New York, a couple years ago, sold for $8.8 million.

So this is, again, the new record of sports memorabilia. TurboTax parent company, into it, agreed to it. a settlement with all 50 states. So if you have used into it, Attorney Generals over the advertising of its tax filing services, they kept saying free, free, free,

went, eh, not so much. Not so much. They are going to shell out $141 million to 4.4 million low-income customers who were eligible for the IRS's free file program

as well as fix it's allegedly deceptive ad prices. Weird how these companies have been deceptively promoting their products. Weird how that happens. And my man Garth Brooks, you know him you love him, had a small,

created a small earthquake at his concert at the LSU's Tiger Stadium. Over 100,000 fans were there. And he got him jumping up and down and yelling and making noise and a seismograph on campus registered a small quake. So congratulations

to Garth and the LSU Tiger Stadium fan goers for Garth and for creating a small earthquake in Louisiana. So if you felt a ground shake in your neck of the woods around LSU's Tiger Stadium, it wasn't a real

earthquake, it was just the Garth Stadium. But I'm told that you could hear it for quite a distance. around the area so you're used to... Plus, if you live in that neck of the woods, I mean, the LSU games, there's over 100,000 fans there,

and I'm sure there is many a game when they are making a lot of noise, and there's a lot of things happening. Not quite earthquake noise, but pretty close. So you're used to it, right? You're going, ah, another something going on at the stadium. We've got to be used to it. Get it over with.

But that's pretty incredible. That Garth is creating that much at a concert. Amazing. It would have been fun to be there. And cameo, just when I'm getting my cameo up and running, they lay off 25% of the workforce.

Oh boy. Oh, no. That doesn't bode well. But, you know, maybe they're just, you know, too many people doing the same thing, right? They laid off more than 80 employees, about a quarter of its workforce, and the company told employees about the plans

and said, hey, we got an all hands-up meeting. we're going to reduce our headcount. We've all been in those meetings before. It's not fun. That's not fun. Of course we need to balance our cost with our cash reserves. Yeah, we know, we got it.

That just means I'm out of a job. So good luck. God bless to those employees at Cameo. I hope my man, Nate, is still there. The Fed chair, Jerome Powell, jacked up the interest rates by half a percentage point yesterday. If you're listening live today is the fifth. May 5th.

So it's the largest rate increase since 2000. First time since 2006 that the Fed has increased rates in back-to-back meetings. But according to the Fed, hey, it's not an ordinary move, but these aren't ordinary times. Consumer prices surged 8.5% annually in March, the highest rate in 41 years. And we all, I mean, we all see that. There's no doubt about that. And so they're trying to keep prices stable, is one of the Fed's main responsibility. and according to a lot of critics,

they have not been doing a good job of that. Well, I mean, yeah, inflation is going through the roof. So we'll see if this helps or if we need to do more. But be prepared for things costing more. I'm not sure that this is going to do what they intended to do. Starlink is going to provide wireless internet for free on Hawaiian Airlines. And they're going to get started next. year. It's the first deal with the major

airline. Starlink, why don't you just, hey Elon, you got enough money. That's your deal. We're letting you put up like 8 billion satellites around the globe. How about everybody gets it for free? Huh? That's what I like. Everybody gets it for free.

Right now. Okay, so I said 8 billion satellites. That's a little high. So they have about 2,000 low Earth orbit satellites. orbiting. Yeah, we all get it for free. You're welcome because I don't want that to happen.

So Starlink would see. Hawaiians plan for complementary connectivity with Starlin would increase the pressure for rivals. I mean, that's the deal, right? Elon says, I'll give it to you for free. It's like a drug dealer. And so JetBlue and Delta, all these airlines need to start providing internet that work.

and doesn't cost of fortune. And so Elon is like, yeah, mine, why don't you pay me to access Starlink on your airlines? That would be great. Thank you. Have a good day. And in a large-scale study of pet dogs, it revealed that an individual animal's breed has little to do with its personality. Researchers say modern breeds have become disconnected from evolutionary behaviors. Huh, isn't that interesting?

You could make the case, I'm not a scientist, but you could make the case that that's true with humans. We have become disconnected with evolutionary behaviors. Anyway, in this study, they compared the behavior and ancestry of more than 18,000 dogs. And they found that ancestry does affect behavior. Breed has much less to do with the dog's personality than it's generally supposed to. When you adopt a dog based on its breed, you're getting a dog that looks a certain way. But as far as behavior goes, it's kind of luck of the draw.

I'm making that case for humans as well. That's just me. I haven't done a large-scale study, although my study is just here, every day at chewing the fat, bringing your stories from around the globe. And I believe that humans could be put into this as well. We talk about breeds of modern invention. Humans have been shaping how dogs look and behave since domestic dogs first evolved from wolves more than 10,000 years ago.

But for most of that time, these efforts were focused on dogs' working ability, how well they hurted livestock, guarded against danger, or pulled sleds for example, but breeds as we think of them today, beagles, pugs, labadors are a byproduct of more recent evolutionary meddling, starting

about 200 years ago. So, anyway, my point is, well, you've already heard my point. I know that they believe that modern breeds have become disconnected from evolutionary behaviors. So have we.

So have we. And I'll leave you with a reminder from at fact. People are not mirrors. They see you completely differently than the way you see yourself. And that reminded me of the quote from Charles Cooley that I am not what I think I am. I am not what you think I am. I am what I think you think I am. Think about it.
