And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
Would you live with cockroaches?
Well, I mean, we already do live with cockroaches,
but would you let them into the house knowingly?
One North Carolina pest control company
is asking you for $2,000 to allow 100 American cockroaches
into your home for a pest control treatment study.
As technology advances, we're always looking for the newest and greatest ways to rid of pests,
cockroaches specifically.
The pest informer said in an advertisement for the study, I am a fan of the pest informer.
The company explained that it's looking for five to seven home-owning volunteers to test out a specific pest control technique.
Those who sign up for the study would be paid to admit hundreds
of new tenants into their homes for a period of 30 days.
The pest informer, you know what you love it,
will then use the new technique to attempt to eradicate the roaches
and gauge how effective this treatment is.
If the treatment isn't effective,
you could end up with a lot more than 100 cockroaches in your house.
You may want to end up just burning it down.
So for $2,000, I would ask,
ask for a lot more. I mean, I'm willing to do it, but for more than $2,000. According to the founder of
the Pest Informer, the company has received 2,200 applications for the study. Yeah, bring them in. I've
already got them. Now, you're going to be required to allow the Pest Informer to film the treatment,
and you're not permitted to use any other cockroach treatments,
for the duration of the study.
You've got to be, you know, 21 years or older
and must either own the home or have written permission from the owner.
If the new pest control treatment doesn't work,
the company is offering to get rid of the cockroaches
using traditional methods at no additional cost.
Now, I moved into the first house we moved into in Florida,
when we moved in bad, it was inundated with roaches.
It was bad.
Roaches and ants.
And I spent a long,
time really just hosing down that house and creating a barrier.
And that's all we can do is, as, you know, whatever dwelling we're in, we create barriers, right?
Okay, it's okay for you to be out there and us in here.
You stay out there.
We'll be in here.
Okay?
Now, if you break that barrier, we will kill you.
But I'm, I don't know, I don't know that I'm willing to do that.
I mean, Carolinas have got some serious cockroaches.
And in fact, South Carolina is where I had that cockroach crawl across me at a hotel in Columbia, South Carolina a few years back.
And believe me, you do not want that experience.
You wake up, you're awake immediately.
And, I mean, I hunted it down in the middle of the night.
I don't know what time it was.
I think it was like 2 o'clock in the morning, something like that.
And you're awake.
And I hunted that son of a gun down.
Now, I should say I hunted a car.
cockroach down. I'm assuming that the one I killed in that hotel room was the one that crawled
across my chest at 2 o'clock in the morning. But I don't know that for sure. But for $2,000 to let
100 of them in the house, I mean, in today's world, sure, bring them in, drop them off. What's the
worst going to happen? Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Okay, so one of the things in this story,
I'm still stuck on the cockroach story.
American cockroaches are the largest of the house-infesting roach species in the United States.
They can grow as big as three inches long.
About the size of a human thumb.
Yes, I've seen them.
They have wings, and they can fly, but do so rarely.
But they do fly.
I have seen them.
They are commonly found in basements and crawl spaces and any warm, damp areas.
While they prefer to live outdoors, do they?
They can enter homes in some.
search of food and water and are commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms. Yes, I am aware.
Fortunately, according to this, American cockroaches reproduce at slower rates than other
cockroach species. However, the female will weigh about 16 eggs in a protective capsule.
So you let 100 of a man, you could be letting more than that in for quite some time.
Unfortunately, their odorous secretions can alter the taste of food in the home,
and they pick up and spread disease-causing bacteria.
That's it, though.
So, $2,000 gets you 100 cockroaches.
That does not sound like it's worth it.
I could use the two grand, and I know you could too.
but I would consider highly the answer to be no for only $2,000,
for 100 cockroaches.
Woof.
And if their new treatment doesn't work, I mean, they've got to bring in the old treatment.
So you're talking about months of fighting these son of a gun.
Oh, man, I do not recommend that.
I just don't.
Speaking of spreading disease and bacteria,
I see now where monkeypox DNA found in semen,
in a handful of cases.
That's it, though.
Just,
it's possible that you can have sexual transmission
of the disease of monkey pox.
And the who, you know,
not the band,
not the question of who,
but who,
the World Health Organization,
considers renaming monkeypox virus.
Oh, that's the problem.
The name.
Right.
You know, we want to minimize the stigma.
Racism. Really? Monkeypox is racist? Okay. I guess there are more than 30 international scientists
that said last week that monkeypox label is discriminatory and stigmatizing, and there's an
urgent need to rename it. Is there? The current name doesn't fit with who guidelines that
recommend avoiding geographic regions in animal names. Oh, okay. Well, is there, were there
any ideas of what we should
call it?
No, not yet, but we're consulting
with experts in orthopox viruses.
That's the family to which monkey pox belongs
on more appropriate names.
Other disease names that run
counter to the guidelines include swine
flu. Oh yes, we need
to change that too.
Yes. Naming
diseases should be done with the aim
to minimize the
negative impact. Yeah, you don't
want to have negative impact to a, you know,
virus that's raging around the world.
You don't want that.
You don't want to, you want to avoid any cultural, social, national, regional,
professional, or ethnic groups.
So look for a new name for Monkey Pox,
and then that new name will be, you know, the name.
And it will be the new name, formerly Monkey Pock.
So it's going to be.
monkey pox forever. I got news for you.
World Health Organization
for Animal Health and
the Food and Agriculture Organization
of the United Nations.
It will always be
new name, formerly Monkey Pox.
So it's still going to be out there.
And I guess it's
racist because
most stories, and not all, but
most stories show
a picture
of a black person
with monkeypox when they talk
about the monkey pox outbreak in North America and the United Kingdom.
So they're pissed.
They want the media to stop using those images.
Yeah, we don't want people to actually see what it looks like on the people who have had it
and where they got it from.
We don't want any of that.
That's just amazing.
You know, I watched a show on HBO.
I think it was HBO.
It's called Emergency.
Might have been Netflix.
I forget now.
It might have been even Prime.
I watched a couple of movies this weekend on,
aside from going to the theater and watching Jurassic Park on Friday,
I watched the card counter on HBO,
which, whoo, oof, boring.
And it was not what I expected it to be.
I wanted to like the show.
And it did not.
I didn't, it was really boring.
We'll just leave it at that.
It was really boring.
The card counter on HBO Max.
I know it was supposed to be really good.
and it was supposed to be about redemption.
It's a long game.
And Paul Schraders, the card counter is supposed to be great.
And it's told with Schrader's trademarked cinematic intensity.
The revenge thriller tells the story of an ex-military interrogator
turned gambler, haunted by the ghosts of his past.
And it was just, I wanted to like it, but it was really, really boring.
And then I watched Emergency.
Yeah, it was on Prime.
It was ready for a night of legendary partying.
Three college students must weigh the pros and cons of calling the police when faced with an unexpected situation.
Now, I enjoyed emergency.
There were some really funny parts, some really good scenes, really funny.
However, I will say that they want you to believe that most of this was because they were black.
And had they done what they should have done in the very beginning,
it would not have happened.
All these other things would not have happened.
It was just, I enjoyed the movie, and I got it.
And it was, you know, there was funny parts and sad parts and, you know,
characters that you liked, I got it.
But what they want you to take away from it, I did not.
So, you know, sorry, if you have an opportunity to watch it,
you can email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
And let me know if you got, uh,
got a better reaction than I did.
I enjoyed the movie very much,
and I did enjoy the characters,
but what I know they wanted me to take away from the movie,
I did not have that happen.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink desperately.
Oh, man.
Ah!
And I see why we took away the black Coke Zero bottle,
because they just announced.
announced a new Jack and Coke brand.
There's going to be a Jack Daniels and Coca-Cola and the Jack Daniels Coca-Cola Zero Sugar.
And it's in black cans.
So you've got the Jack Daniels old number seven brand with the red Coca-Cola or Coca-Cola
zero sugar on the front.
It looks really cool.
And I mean, why now this should have happened a long time ago, right?
Jack and Coke is the drink, right?
And so they, look, it brings together two classic.
American icons. To deliver consumers a taste experience they love in a way that is consistent,
convenient, and portable. The new drink will accelerate expansion and continue to grow our business
around the world. Now, for those of you here in the U.S. that are thinking, hey, when can I get my new
jack and coke in a can? Yeah, not until next year. Maybe sometime next year. Now, you can go down to Mexico
and pick it up because they're going to go ahead and launch it down there. That's nice of them.
know, there's a great market, and both brands are popular there.
Yeah, because both Jack Daniels and Coca-Cola aren't popular here in America,
but they're ready to drink market there is top-notch.
So we're going to go ahead and launch it in Mexico,
and then sometime soon we'll get it to America.
I don't worry about it, okay?
So, you know, I don't know, I might have to try it.
It's been a long time.
I haven't really been a...
drinker for a long long time my first wife used to love uh rum and coax captain captain morgan uh rum and coke
but uh jack and coke was a big drink for a lot of my friends and uh you know i i have partaken in a few
jack and coax uh in my day so an ice cold can of jack daniels and coca cola zero sugar might not be bad
I don't know if it's worth going to Mexico for it, but I'll wait until it launches here.
Now, the Rolling Stones are on tour, and they are touring the world.
However, the latest concert, and maybe a couple in the future now have been canceled,
because Mick just contracted COVID-19.
I know.
So they released a statement saying, hey, Jagger has COVID,
and we're canceling the concert in Amsterdam.
sorry.
We didn't think
Mick would test positive.
You experienced some symptoms of COVID
upon the arrival at the stadium.
And so we pulled the plug on the concert.
Sorry. Okay.
So they've got,
the tour includes 14 shows to be played
in 10 different countries in Europe.
And so we'll see what happens.
The next
show is scheduled
in Bern, Switzerland.
on June 17th.
Today, if you're listening live, is the 14th of June 22.
So we'll see if Mick tests positive or still showing symptoms by the 17th.
So burn, Switzerland could be canceled.
And then they have Milan, Italy on the 21st of June.
And then they're supposed to be in London on the 25th of June.
So we'll see.
We shall see if the stones make it to,
well, they probably go to London, right?
Nick's not going to have COVID at the end of June.
That's another 10 days.
No way.
No way.
But maybe burn.
You might be out.
You might be out of Stone Stop.
Sorry.
They said, hey, we're going to reschedule.
Will, you know, the tickets will be rescheduled.
You know, it could be used at the later date.
Sorry.
Now, they, that's what they said originally, right?
That's what the Stone's released.
But it could happen that, yeah, just turn your
tickets and get your cash back. We're sorry. What a shame. There's some posters for sale.
You can go ahead and get your money back from the website you bought them from or bring them back to the
location at the arena and get your money back. And we're sorry. Man, we wish we could have been there.
But we're not. What a shame. And I see where Ozzy has got COVID again too. And I don't know,
I said again. I don't know if Ozzy's had COVID. No, I don't think he has. I think Ozzy's been
pretty safe. Right. Because Sharon,
was saying, Sharon did an interview about how Ozzy just went through another big
surgery to put pins in his neck and his back and they realigned it from the fall that he had.
Remember, he fell and threw everything out of alignment and busted up his body again.
And so he went through another surgery and then he got COVID.
And she said he went through the entire pandemic without getting COVID.
And now that he's got this surgery and he's convalesing.
Uh, he's going to, now he has to deal with COVID too.
So we'll see.
We'll see what happens to the old Oster.
I mean, he's 73 now.
Holy cow.
And Jagger is what, 78?
So, I mean, it's not like their spring chickens getting COVID.
They're in great shape, though, which is good.
And they have access to, you know, top notch health care, which is good.
So, you know, they're probably going to be okay.
but you never know.
Speaking of concerts,
did you see the guy
at the Harry Stiles concert?
It's close to the end of the show
and you don't really see it all happen.
There's someone, a camera,
I don't know whose camera it was,
was filming Harry on stage,
and you see this body
fly by the camera. He fell off
one of the upper decks into the bottom
of the floor.
He lived, though. He lived,
Everything's fine.
Don't worry about it.
It's fine.
I mean, that's what they said.
I'm guessing, you know, why would they lie?
But then if you watch the show Hacks on HBO Max,
you have the guy she was filming her big show.
Oh, this is a spoiler alert for those of you that haven't watched Hacks yet.
So I was just letting you know, there's just one scene.
It doesn't spoil the whole thing.
But she's filming her show.
And it's a, you know, big time personal film for what she's hoping to sell to a Netflix
or, you know, whoever, a string.
platform and this guy has this heart attack and keels over in the crowd and everybody's freaking out
and going crazy and they drag him out and he dies in the lobby and so her manager comes back in
and they're trying to get over it and she's saying you know they're taking care of it now
everything's fine and the manager is in the standing there in the audience and it's like he has a choice
of whether to say you know the guy died which would bring the entire show down or he just goes
he's going to make it, he's fine.
And everybody's like, yeah, yay!
So, I mean, that could have happened at the Harry Style Show.
Yeah, he fell 35, 40 feet.
You know, we see him go by on the camera shot,
just a, this body falling into the crowd.
Apparently, he missed the chairs and just landed on the floor,
and he survived.
Uh-huh.
So pretty much wherever you're at now,
you're seeing record heat.
We saw Denver hit 100.
Phoenix, that's 114.
It was 111 close to where I live in Fort Worth this weekend.
I think where I live, I think we whisked out and made it to like 105 or something like that.
Las Vegas reached 109.
It's supposed to be 114 or 15th in the Carolinas today and tomorrow.

So the Tony Awards
were this weekend
and I
I know,
oh,
I know.
And I missed
them.
Darn the luck.
And I recorded
it so I could
go back
and watch.
them I just haven't got to them yet but I was looking at the list of the winners and to see who won and you know if anything jumped out at me and I see you know congratulations to the best musical a strange loop and you know the best play was the Lehman trilogy and the best performance of the actor was Deidre O'Connell and Dana H but I did see where six the
musical, Music and Lyrics by Toby Marlowe and Lucy Moss, won for the best original score.
And it was awesome.
I mean, I was forced to listen to most of that soundtrack from the original six.
And really awesome.
I enjoy the heck out of that concert.
Uh, well, concert or show, I should say.
I mean, my daughter plays that, that soundtrack so much.
It's a musical in a modern retelling of the lives of the six.
wives of Henry the Eight.
And as the queens take their turn, singing and telling their stories, really fascinating and some fun
songs about Henry the Eighth.
Some of the songs are pretty big guy, but it was well worth a lot of fun.
It's still there.
It's still going on.
And then it got me, I see where Jennifer Hudson won a Tony Award, which then put her into the
egot list.
Congratulations to Jennifer Huston.
Jennifer Hudson has an EGOT.
Amazing.
You know, so, I mean, she has the Emmy and the Grammy and the Oscar and the Tony,
which then got me looking at the EGOT list again.
And I'm fascinated by the EGOT list.
And, you know, John Legend is on that list.
Alan Mencken, Andrew Lloyd Weber, Robert Lopez.
Robert Lopez actually has the shortest amount of time to get his Egot nine years.
Lopez, I mean, he won his Emmy in 08, his Grammy in 12, his Oscar in 2007.
No, I'm sorry, looking at the wrong guy.
Robert Lopez, 2008 for the Emmy, 2012 for the Grammy, 2013 for the Oscar, and 2004 was the first one for the Tony.
And so his nine-year span, he got the E-GOT completed.
That's awesome.
It took Jennifer Hudson 16 years.
It took John Legend 12 years.
And Robert Lopez was the youngest to get the EGOT because John Legend was 39 years, eight months.
And Robert Lopez was 39 years.
Most of them are, you know, long time.
And then they, you know, I mean, Rita Moreno, John Gilgo, Aubrey Hepburn.
Wow.
just Marvin Hamlish, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols,
Whoopi Goldberg, you know, our favorite is, you know,
she's agonizing now, but it took her 16 years to get her egot, right?
She won the Emmy in 2002.
She won the Grammy in 1986.
She won the Oscar in 1990.
She won the Tony in 2002, same year that she won the Emmy.
Amazing.
And then there's others on the list that are,
they have the eGOTs, but they're because they,
got special awards.
You know, like Barbara Streisand, everybody,
EGOT winner, Barbara Streisat,
I mean, she got a special Tony Award,
which, you know, gave her the EGOT.
Liza Minnelli got a special Grammy Legend Award,
which got her the EGOT.
James Earl Jones.
I'm not saying these people don't deserve it,
but they got, you know, special honorary awards.
James Earl Jones got one for an Oscar,
and Harry Belafonte,
got one for an Oscar.
Oscar, a humanitarian award.
And Quincy Jones got a humanitarian award for an Oscar, which, you know, gave him the
EGOT.
So, I mean, they're, and those guys, I'm not saying they don't deserve it, but it's just
that they, you know, special little asterisk by their EGOT.
They didn't really, they got an honorary award to get that EGOT.
Now, some would say perhaps they, you know, spent some money.
You get a humanitarian award and, you know, maybe, you know, you need that Oscar for the
egot so you spend a little extra cash just to get that on our area award so that you get the egot now i'm
sure that didn't happen that's just me you know talking out loud being dumb why would anybody do
something like that right so i see where amazon is fighting back against the walmart announcement
of drone delivery they're saying hey we're going to be ordering we're going to be delivering by
drones soon as well.
They've already, you know, we talked about them testing it already and everybody is, you know,
reminded that only had the one crash that started the fire and they've had a couple of
accidents and it's not as safe as they claim.
But, I mean, they're being inspected by the FAA and they've had the pilot program in Lockford
and California.
And so, you know, the prime air is underway.
They're saying it'll be free with your prime membership.
and they're saying the delivery is five pounds
and they'll deliver it and deliver it to your home
and you have to be inspected to show that the drone can land in your house.
And I doubt that that means that an inspector is coming to your home.
I mean, you use Google Earth.
You can see your neighborhood and how big your yard is
and, you know, they can check that out.
Plus, the drone has capability of moving around, you know, poles
and fireplaces or whatever is sticking up in the sky.
So I'm sure the drone can look down and go,
ooh, yeah, no, I'm not landing there.
Take care. I'm out.
And that's the way you go.
You don't get your product.
You can come by and pick it up, though.
And I know that, I mean, we talked about Walmart and UPS.
They all want to start delivering by drones.
Walmart's saying that they're ready to go.
Walmart wants to step it up with their,
they struck deals with flytrecks, zip line,
drone up and they're talking about charging some of the drone deliveries will be a fee a drone delivery
fee and then and then they're also splitting so they're getting it both ways i know think about it
uh you're getting you're going to have to be charged the special fee and then the drone up company
or zip line or fly tracks will get half of what the product is they're saying 10 pounds
for their delivery if it fits it flies right that's what the one wall
Walmart guy said.
And you have to order it up through drone up's website.
So they're using their site, not Walmart's Plus app, which is kind of strange.
I'm not sure how that deal is going to work.
But I feel like, you know, the inspections and everything is going to be done by remotely.
Not necessarily.
You're not going to have Bill stopped by from Amazon.
Oh, we notice you've been getting a hamburger helper.
And we want to make sure that, you know, our drone can land in your yard.
because the Walmart drone drops it down, right?
It doesn't even land.
It just hovers over and drops down your hamburger helper and then flies away.
That's why you need the delivery, the roof delivery system.
It just opens up, man.
The drone is there and the remote opens up the delivery shoot and in comes your goods.
I'm telling you, that's the new houses will have the drone delivery shoots on the roofs.
Plus, if you think that humans, I was thinking,
about this the other day. Because originally we talked about that's a good gig. You're going to
have to fly the drones and they're going to need people to make sure that the airspace is clear.
That's all going to be done by robots and computers. You're not going to have to worry.
Humans aren't going to have to worry about it. You don't think you're going to have a job, did you?
No, stop it. No way. That's not going to happen. We talked, I mean, all this week, we've talked about
how the Google engineer
claims that his
computer
has, is actually
thinking and talking
for itself, having dialogue.
You know, he's talking
to the
LAMDA.
Limone is talking to the computer
and he's saying that the chat box
has become sentient. It's thinking.
It's human now. Oh.
Okay.
No problem.
so AI has come to life. That's good. That's good. And then earlier last week, we had the story
about artificial intelligence inventing its own language, which is good, right? Right.
So the robots will be able to talk to themselves in their own language, and they'll be able to
deliver your goods to your house. You won't have to worry about it. It'll look, it'll make sure
that it can deliver the goods, and it'll drop it off at your house, and it'll let you know whether
you can afford it. And if you can't afford it, they won't deliver it. And you'll be good to go.
Most of us won't be able to afford it because we won't have jobs. But that's another story,
all in of itself. Just be ready that, you know, that is happening. So if, you know,
there's still going to be jobs for humans, but it's not going to be that many. And that is just a little bit
scary.
Marshall's buyers travel
far and wide, hustling for great
deals on amazing gifts.
So you don't have to. They've bagged
this season's Italian leather handbags.
Designer.
Hand-picked the finest sweaters
from the rest. Ooh, cashmere.
Landed makeup pallets from the
brands you love. Rushes too.
And hustled all those wishless
topping toys. So
plush. Our buyers have
got you covered. Marshalls.
We get the deals.
You gift for good stuff.
So I know today, the 14th of June, is Flag Day.
So if you have a flag, go ahead and fly it.
It'd be great.
I know the great Woodrow Wilson, president 100 years ago,
made it official establishing June 14th as Flag Day.
Many people fly their flags every day.
So isn't everyday flag day, really, if you're an American, should be, right?
I mean.
Anyway, I hope you're celebrating Flag Day with as much joy as ever before.
I know I am.
So I see where the European Space Agency just released data on more than two billion stars in the Milky Way,
collected by the space-based Gaia telescope.
Amazing, right?
I mean, I know that this month,
or the next couple of weeks,
we have the planets all aligned up
so you can see them.
You can look at them.
You see them all in the sky,
I think, like 45 minutes before the sunrise.
So get up early.
Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn in the night sky.
But that's nothing compared to this.
I mean, the astronomers describe strange starquakes,
with stellar DNA,
asymmetric motions,
and it's just incredible what they're finding.
finding on the galaxy structure and the evolution over billions of years,
you know,
and the life cycle of stars in our universe,
just amazing.
And, you know, we talked yesterday about the Xbox Bethesda.
I know it's just a game.
It's not real.
Right.
The new game, Starfield,
which has over a thousand planets,
and you can explore all of them across 100 solar systems.
So I'm sure that the Starfield group over there at Xbox Bethesda are looking at this with new eyes, man.
Thousands of solar system objects, asteroids, moons of planets, millions of galaxies, quasars outside of the Milky Way.
Just amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
And I wish I was working for Xbox, Bethesda creating their new planets.
to explore and Starfield
because it's got to be a fun time.
Because not only are you creating,
you know, you're going to all these different places,
you're creating your character
and you are able to change as it goes,
but you're creating your character
that's going to do these travels.
It's not the meta, but it's pretty close.
If you could strap on the helmet,
which I wish this was a helmet instead of this face goggles
that they put on you, but, you know,
I know you've got to block your eyes, so that's all your eyes.
See, I get it.
But if you could do those travels in the meta, and I'm not talking about walking downtown in a city inside the meta,
and you've created your character, whether it's you or someone else, but it'd be really cool.
And I'm sure that they're working on it.
They don't need me to, you know, describe to them what they should be working on.
But I would love to be working with these people on it because it's,
It's going to be really something when we can get into the virtual reality
and create these versions of ourselves inside the new world.
It's going to be pretty awesome.
Jeff, you're just creating a fake person, not yourself.
I know.
That's the point.
A couple things that are interesting in the news.
Elon Musk is set to address the Twitter employees this week.
That should go over well.
Right?
I know.
And I see that
Jake Paul is making friends
and winning new people over every day.
He just posted
a brutal tweet
that said, and this is Jake Paul, man.
You're losing guys like Jake Paul.
Times are going tough here in America.
Biden accomplishments,
highest gas prices,
worst inflation,
plummeting crypto prices, highest rent prices ever, created new incomprehensible language.
If you're reading this and voted for Biden and you still don't regret it, then you are the American problem.
Wow. I'm all for that. I am all for that. But wow. When you've got guys like Jake Paul bashing you, time to give up.
This administration needs to stop lying so much.
You mean like every day.
Stop lying so much.
And maybe waking up a little bit and thinking, you know,
we should not lie.
The problem is that if you believe that they're doing this on purpose,
when they stop lying to you and start telling you the truth,
what are you going to do then?
And we still haven't found out what happened to the guys
that fell into the chocolate tank at the Mars factory in Pennsylvania.
at the end of last week.
Two contract workers,
we know we're doing maintenance on the tank
and we're unable to get out on their own.
But we don't know how much chocolate there was in the tank.
We know that it could have been a life-threatening situation
just to buy, based on what needed to be done to get them out.
They were rescued and taken to the hospital.
There was no word on their conditions.
We talked about, I don't know,
what it's like to get chocolate in all your orifices.
I mean, it sounds like a, you know, there's plenty of jokes about, you know, if you're going to go, that's the way to go.
But I don't know.
I mean, it just seems like, oof, you have chocolate in every orifice.
And then I was sent an email to Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com.
And John reminded me of an old bit that the Smothers Brothers did.
And Tommy Smothers, I guess, fell into a vat of chocolate.
I don't know if it was for a bit on the show or if it was just if it actually happened to him.
and he was, you know, touring the Mars factory
and fell into a vat of chocolate.
But when Dick asked him what he did,
he said, I yelled fire.
So I don't know if these guys, you know,
at the end of last week, hollered what they hollered for
to get people to notice because Tommy said he yelled fire
because he didn't think anyone would respond
if he yelled chocolate.
I know, I know.
Think about it.
And another email I got at Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com got me thinking,
got me thinking quite a bit over the weekend.
And I thought, that is a good idea.
I've given this a lot of thought.
This is the email now.
I've given this a lot of thought.
And the most humane form of execution is the guillotine.
We talked about the execution of the guy last week.
And, you know, how I believe in corporal punishment and capital punishment.
But, you know, what if just one person was wrong?
I know.
I have heard all the arguments.
But these guys were convicted of doing such horrific things.
And that's the thing, right?
We go ahead of believe that our system is convicting the right people.
The instant separation from the brain from the body.
I thought about this after a colonoscopy.
I'm not sure why you were thinking about a colonoscopy.
They're thinking about, you know, just guillotined me during the colonoscopy.
I was put under with propofol and felt nothing until I woke up later.
I didn't feel what the doctor did, and I doubt it would have left an instantaneous separation of my head from my body.
I had no doubt.
Well, that's a good point.
So what do we give, you know, if our cruel and unusual punishment, do we just give everyone a little propofal?
and I'll stick them in the guillotine and off comes their head, right?
And so we talked to someone, maybe we talked about it last week or I read about it from another email.
I can't remember if we talked about it or not where we should use the fentanyl that we're getting from, you know,
crossing the border and finding and folded money apparently at gas stations in Tennessee.
And we use the fentanyl as the drug of choice to kill the,
prisoners who are on death row.
That's not that bad of an idea, actually.
It's not that bad of an idea.
