Starting point is 00:00:00 Where's your playlist taking you? Down the highway, to the mountains, or just into daydream mode while you're stuck in traffic. With over 4,000 hotels worldwide, Best Western is there to help you make the most of your getaway. Wherever that is. Because the only thing better than a great playlist is a great trip.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Life's the trip. Make the most of it at Best Western. Book direct and save at bestwester.com. work. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. You can't trust anyone anymore. An Arizona woman faces felony charges for pretending to be a licensed dental hygienist. I don't know why you would want to pretend that you are in a licensed dental hygienist, but she did. Elizabeth Minna Largiana, also known as Elizabeth Garcia Castilla,
Starting point is 00:01:06 collectively worked and attempted to work at more than 10 dental offices in California between 2015 and 2020. They found her in Glendale, Arizona, where she was working as a dental hygienist. She was extradited to San Jose, California for her arraignment, and now she's out on bail until, the middle of June of 2022. The last thing, according to the district attorney, is someone needs to be worrying about
Starting point is 00:01:36 is whether the person cleaning their teeth or using anesthetics is licensed to do that work. So make sure you are, you know, you're getting qualified personnel and you've got to be able to have the approved educational program and plus both pass written and clinical examinations. and you must be legal. I don't know why it surprises me
Starting point is 00:02:04 that someone would pretend to be a dental hygienist because I could think of a number of things that, you know, you'd want to pretend to be. Dental hygienist is not one of them, but maybe that's why she got away with it for so long. I guess make sure you look at the documentation extra close the next time you go to the dentist. Hey, it's Fat Pile Friday.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. As I said, it's Fat Pile Friday, and I've got a stack of fat, a pile of fat to get through. I want to get through with it. Get rid of these stories because we're coming up on, if you like me are coming up on the long weekend, I want to be able to have these stories and just put them in the trash and be rid of them. That's with that fat pile away, shall we? So congratulations to the graduating seniors.
Starting point is 00:03:02 at an LA Arts School. They, 284 strong class of 2022 from Otis College of Art and Design, and they had their entire student loan debt paid off by the college's most successful alumni. Snapchat co-founder Ivan Spiegel, totaling an undisclosed record-breaking gift of more than $10 million.
Starting point is 00:03:29 The donation was added to by, Hora beauty founder, Miranda Care, Spiegel's wife, and partner in the Spiegel Family Fund. One of the students said, hey, this changed my life. I know. And it absolutely did. And I'd like to thank them for that. That's awesome that they would do that. I don't know if it doesn't say, you know, if I was paying for myself, did they give me the money?
Starting point is 00:03:58 Or if I was paying for myself, you're just out of luck. If you took out a loan, you have that paid for. If you didn't take out a loan, eh, you know, tough. But good for them. And thank you to Snapchat, co-founder and the wife for donating to the Otis College of Art and Design and paying off everyone's loan debt so that they could go on with their life, with their degree, without having to owe, money for their student loans. Boy, congratulations. Senate can cost $50,000 for a liberal arts degree. Some of the recipients of Spiegel's
Starting point is 00:04:43 generosity had racked up $70,000 or more. Wow. Just incredible. One of the students said my mom was crying. They were so worried about it for me. I had so much debt. If it's really all gone, it puts me so much ahead. Yeah, it would have been, maybe your mom should have said, hey, why don't you not go into debt and work, and then you can go to school and pay it off. But that's not how it works today.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Silly me, sorry. What am I thinking? Anyway, congratulations. Congratulations to all the students who now don't owe a dime for the school that they graduated from. So we know now that American women had more babies last year than predicted. The U.S. birth rate rose 1% compared to 2020, marking the first time the infant population has grown since 2014.
Starting point is 00:05:48 And it kind of dispels at least a few concerns, you know, the massive pandemic baby bust, as everybody thought, I even did think that we did have more babies because of the pandemic. But apparently not. We did have a number of other things because of the pandemic, though, but not babies. Still, the number of births remained below the replacement level that's required for a population to sustain itself from one generation to the next, minus immigration, of course. maybe, maybe perhaps, instead of having, you know, monogamous, heterosexual relationships, man and woman, you know, man and woman, creating children, you know, the population growing on whatever country you're living in, maybe it's because we have people who are busy in their polyamorous relationships. And I love this explanation from this sailor star, sale or star on TikTok,
Starting point is 00:07:02 who described her palomorous relationship. I know polyamorous, paleomorous. Amorphopalus. You know, her and all her pals that are in a relationship together. Well, you want to talk about contact tracing. She's got it. Hi, my name is Anna and I'm in a polyamorous relationship. Oh, hi, Anna.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Normally when people think polyamory, they think two women and a man in a thruple type relationship together. Right. But that's not what polyamory is. Oh. I mean, that's one type of polyamory. But polyamory is on umbrella term for many different types of non-monogamous relationships. I call my type of relationship a polycule or a constellation because it looks like a molecule or a constellation. There are several people involved in various different ways.
Starting point is 00:07:50 and more people have joined than the last time I did one of these. So let's give a little update. I'm sure you can follow along just fine. Okay, so in the center of it all is obviously me. Oh, she's got it all picked out. I have bright orange hair. I am married to Jake. There's Jake, super cute.
Starting point is 00:08:05 We currently live together. Not really. I am also dating Spencer. Here, Spencer, we've been together for a while but are not currently living together. I am also dating Ellie. She's my newest relationship with just as important as all the others. Is she? Is she?
Starting point is 00:08:18 Is she? Platonic life partners. With Izzy. Here's his example. And that just means they plan on spending the rest of their lives together without any romance or sex involved. Now, Izzy is also casually seeing Spencer. Here Spencer again, just in case you forgot. Remember, Spencer is dating me and I am married to Jake.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Right. Now, Jake is currently dating Rocket. This is Rocket. They are very hot and very tall. Rocket also has another long-term relationship with his girlfriend. Also has a queer platonic relationship with another partner. These partners don't wish to be included, which is perfectly fun. Of course it is.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Of course it is. Now remember, I'm and Spencer and I'm married to Jake. This is the only three people I'm involved with. This person, this person, and Izzy could all have other partners. But seeing as they're not involved in my inner polycule, I don't know, and that's okay. Anyways, this is why we call it a polycule or a constellation. Super easy to follow. But yeah, we're not a trouble.
Starting point is 00:09:16 No, you're a constellation. Hello, you're Anna and you're married to Jake. I want to see if I followed this properly. You're Anna. You're married to Jake. Then you also see Spencer and you also see Ellie. Now, Jake, who you're married to is in a relationship with Rocket, who is in a relationship with a girl and another person who don't want to be named.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Spencer, who you're seeing, Anna, is also in a relationship with Izzy, who is also in a relationship with Ellie who Anna is seeing. There, I got it right? It's a constellation. It's a love fast. Yay. Oh, man. Good times.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Did I mention that? Good times. That may be the Fat Pile Friday theme today. Good times. It is, like I said, Fat Pile Friday. So this story I've had, you know, the Fat Pile for quite some time, a woman, 37 born with two vaginas and two uteruses. Well, she opens up about the rare condition,
Starting point is 00:10:34 explaining she gets two periods a month and can get pregnant with two babies at the same time by two different men. Wow. How much do you want to have that issue? Huh? How much? That's what I thought. She was born with uterator. Diddle Diddles.
Starting point is 00:10:58 No, it's not. Amorphophalus. It's called uterus. Dydelphus. Dydelphus. That's what I said. There's no need for you to repeat it. Dydelphus.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Yeah, thank you. I got it. So it's an abnormality, which is, you know, because the baby girl grows too. Wow. So she has two cervxes and a thervexes, and a thin wall of tissue that creates two separate lady parts.
Starting point is 00:11:29 I know. I don't know why it's so hard for me to say it, and it normally isn't. She, of course, has a TikTok channel, and she's known as the Lady Leanne and answers questions on her double reproductive organs, which is wonderful. And she could, you know, like I said, get pregnant by two separate men, and it would be considered high risk. but they could do it and have cesarean births, and it could happen. So according to docapedia, it's a one and a million chance that it happens.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Okay, she said she didn't even realize it until she had such excruciating pain during, you know, the monthly visit that such severe cramping that the doc was like, well, yeah, you got two uteruses. So, yeah, no wonder you're in it. such excruciating pain here. You just be bedridden and here's some pain killers, okay? So, okay, she said for those few days,
Starting point is 00:12:34 it's just in bed and wasting my life. Incredible, just incredible. But in keeping with the theme of today's Fat Pile Friday, good times. Good, good times. Think of that, though. Just think of that for, a second. Okay, that's enough. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.
Starting point is 00:13:11 So Netflix released the Ricker Joveas new comedy special Super Nature, which I have not watched yet. I will watch it. We've got a long weekend. I got a lot of content to watch this, the next coming three or four days. so within hours of course viewers noted how Gervais made graphic transphobic jokes during his set and they're pissed and this is the second time
Starting point is 00:13:36 they're still pissed at Dave Chappelle with his closer that some Netflix employees walked out last year hell Chappelle had an attacker who said he did it because he was offended over the trans joke I wanted him to know
Starting point is 00:13:51 that next time he should consider first running his material by people it could affect. How about no? How about no? Either laugh or you don't. And if you don't like, if you don't want to not even take a chance at that, you don't go and see the event.
Starting point is 00:14:08 How about that? How about we do that? Okay? All right, let's do that. So I'm sure I would be willing to bet that Ricky's transphobic, graphic transphobic jokes are jokes. That's what Ricky does. And I'm sure he's going to be devastated that people are upset with his comedy special.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Devastated. I'm sure of it. And as long as we're talking about, you know, transgender. Congratulations to Leverne Cox, who has now got a transgender Barbie after her. So good for her, LeVern Cox, the actor. She's done some great work. I love her stuff. you know, especially Orange of the New Black
Starting point is 00:14:56 and inventing Anna. She was great in that. So, you know, good for her. Good for her. I mean, I guess anybody can get a Barbie now, except the fat guy. I don't see any fat guy Barbies. So maybe we are, maybe I should complain.
Starting point is 00:15:13 And maybe the, you know, the fat models, I'm sorry, the overweight, no, the plus sized beautiful. beautiful people should be pissed. Start protesting Mattel. We want fat guy barbies or fat girl Barbies or fat trans Barbies. It's not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:15:39 But I mean, it certainly could happen in today's world. Who am I kidding? Wow. That's all we need. That's all we need. And speaking of, you know, all we need, I see where
Starting point is 00:15:51 Kevin Spacey, who we talk talked about, I don't know, a couple of weeks ago where he was getting a roll back, right? He was going to go back into acting. They were going to give him some work, right? He was going to be in this historical drama to appear in the UK, Hungarian, Mongolian, epic 1242. And he was going to come back. And he was going to be, I mean, Kevin is a great actor. Well, now he's got four sexual assault charges against him in Britain.
Starting point is 00:16:22 I don't know what that means. Maybe it means he can't go there to work. I don't know if they can extradite him there, but the Crown Prosecution Service said it had authorized criminal charges of the four sex assault counts and one of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. So the incidents took place in London between 2005 and 2008. allegedly and one in Western England in April 2013. The victims are now in their 30s and 40s.
Starting point is 00:17:00 And so we'll see what happens with that. But criminal proceedings against Spacey are now underway. What does that mean? What does that mean for Kevin? Does he have to go over and get his hand slapped from the crown? I don't know. I mean, I find it difficult to believe that Kevin will be going to jail. in the United Kingdom.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Maybe that's just me. Might cost him some work, though. I mean, if the prince can stay in the UK so he doesn't get charged here in the U.S., then obviously Kevin Spacey, an American prince, can stay in the U.S. and not get charged in the United Kingdom. However, or not go to prison in the United Kingdom, but he can't go there to work, right?
Starting point is 00:17:51 So it shuts down his new work. And I believe that was the first time I actually co-wad on this show. And it couldn't have been the first time. But, you know, you move your fingers, and you do that. And that's a, we named it a koa a hundred years ago. And it just is something stupid. I can't believe I just did it. I do that, you know, in my personal life.
Starting point is 00:18:19 And everything I have is shared with you. And it's called a qua, and it's And it just means enough, you don't believe it, agonizing, all of it, all of the above. And if that happens in anything, whether it's a show or life, you just give them the qua. And it's understood. Broadway shows I see pulled in not quite what they're used to. The pre-pandemic high, they were pulling in almost $2 billion. In 2018 to 2019, they pulled in 1.8 billion.
Starting point is 00:18:58 In 2021 to 2022, they pulled in 845 million. That seems even high for, I mean, that place was closed up. That even seems high, but that's what they say. So, you know, congratulations. You're fighting back. You're about halfway there. I see where there's going to be a rap course taught. at MIT?
Starting point is 00:19:25 Huh? Yeah. Now how mad do you want your kids to go to MIT? Lupe Fiasco has been long regarded, long regarded, as one of the more esteemed voices in hip-hop and, you know, a gifted and intricate rhymer who could teach a course or two on wordplay. And thanks to MIT, the food and liquor rapper is set to become not only part of the curriculum, but become a professor. Congratulations. He's going to be a visiting
Starting point is 00:20:04 professor. It's his MLK visiting professor program for the 2022-2020 school year, alongside Lupe, Associate Professor of Theater, Eunice Fiera, and documentary filmmaker Lewis Massa. We're named as experts in arts and humanities. Congratulations. That's awesome. Lupe tweeted, I've been holding this for a while. I'll put it together something more sophisticated later that really captures the nuance and gravity. But for now, I'll just say it's straight and raw.
Starting point is 00:20:46 I'm going to teach rap at MIT. Congratulations. Lupe. 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.
Starting point is 00:21:19 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.
Starting point is 00:21:35 We get the deals. You gift. the good stuff. So I was hoping to be able to tell you that I had a box of the Oreo Ritz mashup cookie cracker being sent to chewing the fat to try. In fact, they should have just sent it to me, but they did not. And I had to be ready to order at Oreo.com slash Ritz at 12 p.m. Eastern, 11 Central, yesterday, May 26th, 2020, to score a pack,
Starting point is 00:22:09 and it was only going to be $3.95 to cover the shipping. And, you know, they said, act fast, act fast, which meant I don't even know. They might have two boxes available. But I was there. And oh, no, the snack you didn't know you were waiting for has sold out. Don't miss another tasty opportunity. Follow us on social to see what we've got coming next.
Starting point is 00:22:34 How about, no, how about we put some more of this on the market? Please. Look like a small box of Ritz and Oreos matched up together. It looked really, really good. I mean, you have the Ritz, peanut butter, and then you have the Oreo white filling and the Oreo cookie. It looked really good. And in a dunked and a bowl of milk, I bet it was awesome.
Starting point is 00:23:02 And it's going to be awesome. But I'll never know because it was sold out. So, okay, Oreo with Ritz peanut butter. Congratulations on your little mashup, but I'm a little ticked that I could not get there. A little ticked. It's all I'm saying. I mean, as long as we're talking about crime, which this was, obviously, the Oreo Ritz mashup that wasn't available. Well, I was right there on time.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Couldn't get there. Couldn't get any. It's a crime. Might as well talk a little crime. I mean, we have the pastor who was forced to step down in Indiana. He was a minister at the New Life Christian Church and World Outreach, which I'm sure is a fine church. John B. Lowe, the second, he resigned his role and stepped down because he was having an affair with the minor. That's all, though.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Don't worry about it. He confessed to his affair. from 20 years ago to the church on Sunday. A man and woman came on stage to speak in front of the church with the woman saying that she was victimized by Lowe when she was 16. Lowe did not mention the age of the person he had an affair with when he confessed to the church's congregation.
Starting point is 00:24:24 You know, I told you I committed adultery. I told you it went on far too long. I can't do anything about that except to tell you if I could go back and redo it all, I would. I can't, and all I can do is ask for you to forgive me. Now, there's some kind of investigation going on now in Indiana, but according to what I've read, the consent age in Indiana is 16.
Starting point is 00:24:55 That doesn't make it any better. And there's video. I'm not going to play the audio. It's just the people telling the story, and he apologizes, and people are hollering in the congregation. So hopefully the congregation will be able to forgive him. But that doesn't mean he's going to get his gig back. So he'll be working putting together Oreo and Ritz's in the not too distant future. I'll tell you that. Okay, we're talking about crime. Lake Worth, Texas,
Starting point is 00:25:21 just had their biggest bust ever. Big drug bust in Lake Worth, Texas. Isn't that where the military bases? Oh, silly, Jeff, don't be talking about that. It wasn't on the military base. Oh, B, silly. So they gave a list. The Lake Worth Police Department released a list of everything that they found in this home. 11 guns of varying styles and calibers, one of which was stolen. Two homemade
Starting point is 00:25:45 suppressors, you know, silencers. One pill press. 3,390 grams of suspected amphetamine, Adderall, powder, rock, and homemade pills. 18.6 grams of suspected fentanyl powder. 17 grams of
Starting point is 00:26:01 suspected DMT. and diamethylopapapidine. Demethylptamine. Yeah, that's what I said. So 54 grams of suspected bath salts. 24 grams of suspected cocaine. 186 grams of suspected promethazine syrup.
Starting point is 00:26:22 20 grams of suspected homemade Al-Prosolam Xanax pills. 42 grams of suspected methamphetamine. So he was also charged with two counts of manufactured delivery of a controlled substance currently being held at the old Tarrant County Jail. Girlfriend says he'll be back in a couple of weeks. Don't worry about it. The neighbors are saying, yeah, there was constant traffic in and out of the house. What are you talking about? It's been going on for a couple of years. And so they didn't find large amounts of cash in the home.
Starting point is 00:26:55 So because they didn't find large amounts of cash, the cops are like, yeah, you know, he just used his large amount of cash to make the purchases of all the stuff he had and so now he's just waiting to you know sell his stuff to make his cash back oh okay i mean the home had heavy security surveillance cameras covering the entire outside of the property the driveway the front door so we'll see what happens we shall see what happens but i love that they're making the list this is what we've got here in lake worth they claim uh two million two hundred and eighty five thousand two hundred and fifty dollars in street value, which, according to them, is 72 times larger than average operations. All right, I mean, you got drug paraphernalia, bath salts, cocaine, guns, fentanyl, methamphetamine,
Starting point is 00:27:50 and... Demethyltriptamine. So, good times. That's the theme. The theme of Fat Pau Friday, good times. Just like where I see, we're in the crime segment, right? crime segment. Tonight's episode, just crime.
Starting point is 00:28:08 I see where people are booked up to stay in the motel room in Evansville, Indiana, where Casey White and Vicki White stayed. Remember they were the convict that broke away and the guard? And, you know, Vicky White and the convict, Casey White is back in prison now. The hotel room, room 150. at Motel 41 in Evansville, where they spent their final days together, has now been booked up at least 70 true crime aficionados, are they, are on a list to stay in room 150 at Motel 41.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Good times. Good, good times. The motel clerk said that the ground floor room, normally cost 63 a night, is now going for 75 to 100. Price gouging! Sunday, 25 people called to ask for the infamous room, adding that the staffers have removed the room number on the door after someone tried to swipe it as a souvenir. I'm just because they were, you know, criminal aficionados,
Starting point is 00:29:27 crime aficionado. I'm sorry, true crime officinados. Just amazing. Still good times, though. Still good times. And still no word on what's going to happen to former NFL player and Canadian Football League player
Starting point is 00:29:49 Brendan Langley, who was caught fighting with the United Airlines employee at Newark, New Jersey Airport. The United Airlines employee has been fired. Langley has been suspended. from the Canadian Football League, the Calgary Stampeders suspended him.
Starting point is 00:30:09 The Stampeaters, according to their president and general manager, John Huffnegle. He said that the stampeters take matters such as these very seriously. After learning of the details, including the filing of a criminal charge, we are indefinitely suspending Brendan Langley.
Starting point is 00:30:30 So we have that going on. I mean, we'll see what happens. he says the guy who swung first. They both got into a fight. I mean, the United guy definitely wanted more. Brendan put him down, and he still came back up like he wanted to fight more. So, you know, we let that going for us. And what's good about that is it brought Alec Baldwin.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Back out into the limelight. I mean, New Mexico's DA is still conducting a criminal investigation into the shooting of Helena Hutchins. and the director, the cinematography was actually shot and killed. That is still, no one's been cleared on that, and there's civil suits pending. I know that the director, right,
Starting point is 00:31:15 he was just wounded, but Helena was shot and killed. I know it was an accident, an accidental shooting by Alec. But he commented on this fight at Newark Airport, and he, since deleted his
Starting point is 00:31:33 Instagram post, but he was saying that the guy working at the airport is the victim. He came to work to do a job. The other guy with his big mouth is guilty of workplace abuse, where people come to work with an expectation of safety, even civility.
Starting point is 00:31:50 This, I guess he used a bad word because it's crossed out in the story. Who hit this guy should be put on the no-fly list. Yeah, workplace slafy is. is a really important thing. Isn't it Alec Baldwin?
Starting point is 00:32:23 Unwrap holiday magic at Holt Renfrew with gifts that say I know you. From festive and cozy fashion to luxe beauty and fragrance sets. Our special selection has something for every style and price point. Visit our Holtz holiday shop and store or online at Holtrenfrew.com. Just a few headlines from around the world. The Department of Justice announced a new use of force policy requiring federal officers and agents to act if they see other officers using excessive force. I mean, why wasn't that happening to begin with?
Starting point is 00:32:55 That's just a look good policy. But, okay, you got it. China issues a direct warning to the United States, announces military drills after, you know, after President Biden was over there commenting about, you know, taking military action with Taiwan. Iran warns Israel, hey, we're ready for war. Nothing else happening around. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:33:19 You've got China and Taiwan. Let's look at the globe. China and Taiwan. Iran and Israel. Ukraine and Russia. Huh. Mexico border in the United States is pretty much a war zone. Jeff, those are people looking for a better life.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Okay. You got me. You got me. So it's almost like there's invasions going on all over the world, but maybe it's just me. And I see where the Biden administration now is considering, you know, we should probably ban crude oil exports. We haven't done enough. We haven't done enough to help the American people and the oil business out. What we should do is ban crude oil exports. Yeah, that'll work. Oh, and did I mention that a large chunk of North America is at risk for blackouts
Starting point is 00:34:11 this summer? Good times. Good times. Yeah, well, it's due to drought and supply chain disruptions and other pressures. That's what the U.S. electric grid regulators said. Yeah, I would guess that it's more of the other pressures than it is due to drought and supply chain disruptions. And if you listen to other programs on the Blaze podcast, radio, and television network, you would know that perhaps we are counting on wind too much. And so when it doesn't blow, then we don't have power. And gosh darn it, we're just out of luck.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Speaking of blowing, I see where Apple has launched its self-service repair store. And it looks like that was, you know, because they had all the people after them, you know, the right to repair. We should be able to. to fix our own Apple phones, our iPhones. We shouldn't have to just take it to you.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Okay. So we'll open a self-service repair store. Okay? No problem. Apparently, though, it's time-consuming and expensive and difficult. I'm sure that Apple didn't make it that way. There was one reporter that said he replaced his iPhone 12's battery. through a self-repair store.
Starting point is 00:35:44 He's charged $96 for materials, plus $1,210 credit card hold for the 75 pounds of industrial equipment required for the repair. And he damaged the phone during the process. And then there was another reporter that tried to fix his iPhone Mini that cost, had the same experience.
Starting point is 00:36:05 An Apple associate could replace that battery for $69. So maybe you ought to not want to do it yourself. I'm sure that Apple is trying to help you get through the situation, no problem. I mean, I know that modern electronic devices are complex and highly integrated and miniaturized as it isn't easy. So go ahead. Do it yourself. right to repair movement, but, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:41 it's going to cost just the money and time. And if you break it, you're going to have to pay us a whole bunch more money. So, that's kind of a, it's a fun. I mean, I'd be pissed. If I was a, if I was a right to repair
Starting point is 00:36:56 movement person, I would be pissed. Because that's Apple just doing it on purpose, right? They'll never admit it, but it is them doing it on purpose. And, you know, they're just, they don't want customers repairing their phones. It's just that simple.
Starting point is 00:37:14 So get it through your thick skulls. Right to repair movement. Nobody gets to repair their own stuff anymore. It's a new world. Okay? And you're not going to join a union either. I saw the leaked video of Apple's vice president, Deidre O'Brien, as she was telling employees, you know,
Starting point is 00:37:37 really not your best interest to join a union. Really? Yeah. We've got three Apple stores, New York, Maryland, and Georgia that have begun to push to unionize. Yeah, that's fine. But it really wouldn't be in their best interest. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:37:57 That probably means, you know, you guys join the union, that's great. We're all for it. But it looks like those stores are not very profitable. And we're just going to have to close. close those stores down. We'll try to find you some work someplace else, but I don't know how long that's going to take.
Starting point is 00:38:14 But you keep trying to be a union, okay? Wow. Good times. Good, good times. I see where META CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, Zuck, those of us are friends with Zuck, is being sued. for his role in the Cambridge Analytica data breach.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Oh, no. I mean, it might cost him a house or two. I don't know. I mean, I know that he's, you know, Mr. Lowe guy. I mean, he just wears T-shirts. Sure, they're $400 or $500 T-shirts, but he just wears T-shirts and jeans. That's him. I mean, okay, so he has, you know, mansions and security and private jets.
Starting point is 00:39:05 So, if you were a little bit of... the, what is he the 16th richest guy in the world now? 15th, whatever he's worth. I don't know, he's worth, you know, 50 or 60, 70 billion dollars. You know, he's living a pretty good life. He's got a property portfolio of about 320 million. I would guess it was probably more than that. I guess he's got a yacht, 150 million yacht called Ulysses.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Ulysses. You know, look, he's Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp. the guy is doing pretty good. He's got his $186 million land in Hawaii. I know they tried to call him a colonist out there in Hawaii, and he was like, oh, really? Yeah, well, just buy some more.
Starting point is 00:39:51 I mean, he's got 707 acres on the island of Kauai. He bought for $116 million. The land includes most of the Pila, Beach and Kauaina plantation. I think that's how you call it. It might be Amorphophalis plantation. Prompting critics to
Starting point is 00:40:16 really dislike him very much. And he said, you know, I'm already disliked. Tough. So, you know, he's got the Palo Alto, California House. That's only $116 million, though. nothing big deal he's got the 59 million dollar a lake Tahoe compound he's got two adjacent lots there on lake Tahoe's west shore so that he doesn't have to you don't want to be able to have to put up
Starting point is 00:40:50 with other people coming in when you're there can't do that I don't like that at all so he's living pretty good he's living pretty pretty good as well he should never mind the you know millions of dollars spent on security and private jets and, you know, he's just, he's the guy. He's just driving the million-dollar car. Of course, he has a Honda in the driveway as well. Uh-huh. The Honda fit. But he's driving his Pagani Huara.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Uh, that's only a million dollars. Is that how you say it? Pagani Horara? No, don't play. Pagani. Flying raw. Yeah, that's what I said. So he's doing okay.
Starting point is 00:41:41 So I'm not sure a lawsuit against the whole Cambridge Analytica thing will, you know, bring his lifestyle down, any. All right. Have a great, great holiday. For those of you listening live, it is the 27th of May 2022. We've got Memorial Day weekend ahead of us. Don't forget that coming up next week is the start of the 2022 hurricane season. We'll get into that next week. It's, you know, June 1st is the beginning of it.
Starting point is 00:42:13 It's possible that, you know, a hurricane could just show up and wipe everything out because they're predicting an unusually active Atlantic hurricane season this year. So I know Noah is forecasting a likely range of 14 to 21 name storms. I mean, we've gone. We've got to talk about this next week, but I mean, anybody, if you just, if you just forecast yourself every year, what's your forecast? Well, I was thinking, you know, between 8 and 18, you're going to be close. And then you can reassess halfway through the season. Now, they figure 14, what they've forecasted is 14 to 21 name storms, 39 mile an hour or higher,
Starting point is 00:42:59 6 to 10 could become hurricanes, 3 to 6 mayors, 3 to 6 may, major three, four, or five with winds 111 or higher. Those would be major, just saying. And so, like I said, six to ten could become hurricanes, eight to 18. That's my, that's my official forecast. We could talk about it on Hurricane. Hurricane Day, June 1st. But that's my official forecast, the Chewing the Fat, official forecast for the 2020
Starting point is 00:43:30 Hurricane season, 8 to 18 could become major, could become hurricanes. And then, you know, four to eight could become major. That's my forecast. And I'll give you a more in-depth forecast on June 1st. It's Memorial Day. It's a federal holiday. We are to mourn the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
Starting point is 00:44:00 If anyone actually cares about that anymore, please pay your respects. It's observed on the last Monday of May. Oh my gosh, which is this weekend. So thanks for listening to Two in the Fat. And remember, good times. Good times. Turn that frown upside down. Okay?
Starting point is 00:44:22 Don't be a clown. Maybe that's the new motto. Turn that frown upside down. Don't be a clown. I don't know if that works actually. But turn that frown upside down anyway. My gosh. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
