Starting point is 00:00:36 Here we go again. Eat bugs. Please eat bugs. Animals cause deforestation. They're the single greatest driver of deforestation, with major consequences for biodiversity loss. Oh my gosh. Livestock around the world.
Starting point is 00:01:00 is responsible for 14.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Oh, my gosh, the horror. And we talked before that the World Economic Forum promoted the EU's new plan to use mealworms in food in their bid to reduce meat consumption. Yum, yum, yum. Well, now we have the public broadcasting system. going to give us a show called edible insects.
Starting point is 00:01:34 What to feed our ever-expanding world? Insects. Ah, new. Healthy. They're full of polyunsaturated fat, protein, and micronutrients. And sustainable. Insects will be a mainstream protein alternative. Too nervous?
Starting point is 00:01:50 I'm right there with this deal. Wait for a taste. That's delicious. It is gastronomy in the highest form. Edible insects on Nova. I can't wait for them to tell me how good insects are. They're good to eat. They're good for me.
Starting point is 00:02:10 And we can save the planet. No. No, thank you. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Last week I said I probably wouldn't be here this week because I was going to win the, well, either the mega millions or the powerball. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:02:37 I didn't. But no one else did. So I'm still good. I'm even with everybody. So the mega millions is going, the next drawing. The next drawing is tomorrow, the 26th of July at 11 p.m. It's going to be worth an estimated $790 million. Cash option $464.4 million.
Starting point is 00:03:08 And then we have the Powerball drawing, which is tonight, for those of you listening live, the 25th of July, 2022. The Powerball is worth $130 million. Cash value, $76.8 million. This is not an ad for lottery. But just remember, you cannot win. if you don't play. And I'm up.
Starting point is 00:03:35 I'm up for the week or so because I won, I don't know, it was like 18 bucks or something. So I'm up. I'm up for this week. Overall, yeah, still down. I know. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:03:53 But I look at that cash value of 76.8 million. Or that cash value of 4664.4. 4.4 million and it is very difficult for me not to at least spend a couple of bucks because like I said you can't win if you don't play so I may not be here well you know what I'll be here I promise even if I win I will be here doing chewing the fat for at least one show just to say love you and And you can catch me on cameo. I'll do some cameos for you, okay? All right, good. Of course, I'll still be tweeting at Jeffrey JFR.
Starting point is 00:04:41 You can catch me on Facebook and Instagram, which is Jeff Fisher Radio. I'll still be around. I just won't be around. I'll still be around. I'll still be around. Hey, the monkey pox is still among us. I know. The pox is still with us.
Starting point is 00:04:58 and Director General Tedros and who leadership overruled a panel of advisors on Friday or Saturday that voted against the Monkeypox declaration, eight against and six in favor. So what, Tedros said? I decided. I have decided that the global monkeypox outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern. And did I say eight against? I meant nine against. Silly. But so what?
Starting point is 00:05:36 Tedros decided that that's where we're at. So it's a global health emergency. Nearly 70 countries in which monkey pox is not endemic have reported outbreaks of the viral disease. As confirmed cases crossed 16,600. And so now we have a global health emergency. Yay. So what does that mean? Well, I mean, it's an extraordinary event which is determined to constitute a public health risk to other states
Starting point is 00:06:09 through the international spread of disease and to potentially require a coordinated international response. This is, you know, it's all about money and what we're doing here. In the United States of America, we have 2,891 confirmed cases. the biggest state is New York. New York is about ready to crack a thousand. They're at 900. The second place, I think, is probably Florida, 247. Georgia.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Ooh, Florida is bleeding over to Georgia with 211. Illinois has 238. Texas. Texas has 107. Those are the triple digit. District of Columbia has 110. Oh, I apologize. California is in second place with three, 56.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Three hundred and fifty-six cases. So you've got New York, California, Florida, Illinois, Georgia, District of Columbia, Texas, all in three digits. Texas is at the bottom of the rung with 107. And, you know, plenty of the other states have single-digit pox cases. So we have, uh, uh, uh, uh, 74 locations, 68 in countries that have not historically reported monkeypox, six in countries that have historically reported monkeypox. So, okay, 243 cases total in countries that have historically reported monkeypox.
Starting point is 00:07:42 So most of the 16,836 are in countries that have not historically reported monkeypox. And, of course, you know, you may or may not have heard the news two children were diagnosed, with monkey pox in the U.S. One toddler in California and the other an infant who is not a U.S. resident, but was tested while in Washington, D.C. They were described as being
Starting point is 00:08:08 in good health and receiving treatment. They don't know how they caught the disease. They think through household transmission, which, you know, they, you know, you could sleep on the same sheets. I know that, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:22 obviously the big deal is it's mostly spreading among men, who have a sex with men. I can't get the Pat Gray song from Barbara Streisand out of my head whenever I hear men who have sex with men. But, you know, that's what the deal is right now. So in Europe, there have been at least six monkeypox cases among kids, 17 years old and younger. So, you know, it is getting to, you know, depending on the teen years, it might not just
Starting point is 00:08:56 me getting it from the bed sheets or other surfaces, right? Then I read an article about this, from this guy who said, I literally screamed out loud in pain my two weeks of monkey pox hell. And he said, I got monkey pox and it's been a total nightmare. Now, I've said all along, you don't want the pox. You do not want the pox. And, you know, you, the pox goo is leaking and nasty. And this guy, his living in Brooklyn, he's from Sweden, and he's worked in, you know, the last 10 years in New York, I guess.
Starting point is 00:09:35 And he makes a big deal out of his, you know, I focus on sexual and reproductive health and rights. And so I followed the outbreak from the very beginning. And I had even tried to get vaccinated, but there just wasn't enough of vaccinations around. And I didn't have any luck. So, you know, two days after his symptoms began, the rash started. it as anorectal lesions. Man, does that sound fun? Painful sores on his anus and rectum.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Oh, man. Initially, it was stinging, itchy feeling. I wasn't scared at this point. I was told it would be mild. Ha! I had no idea how bad it was going to get. And then he was difficult for him to, you know, get the vaccine. But he said he had a telehealth visit.
Starting point is 00:10:24 and they said, okay, you need to get tested. So he went in and got tested because he got the runaround about the vaccine on who can get it. Because they have the free clinics, but if you don't get it there, then you have to have a positive test result first to get the antiviral drug. Okay. So then he, you know, went ahead and got the test. And he said, you know, while I'm there, just give me a full STI panel too. I might as well know if I have any other diseases going on in my body.
Starting point is 00:11:00 And a big surprise, yes, he does. He does have a monkeypox and he does have gonorrhea. Now, he found out that he had gonorrhea prior to getting the positive result from the monkeypox. He said they started out looking like mosquito bites before developing into pimply blisters that would eventually pop. then finally scab before leaving a scar. I had them on my skull, on my face, my arms, my legs, my feet, my hands, my torso, my back, and five, just down my right elbow at the peak. I had over 50 lesions, a fever of 103, intense pain, prompting a panic attack.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Yeah, no kidding. Ironically, the only place I didn't have lesions was my man part. So he did not have fun. He did not have fun. He said the lesions, his anorectal lesions, were very painful and turned into open wounds. Oh, oh, honey. No.
Starting point is 00:12:03 And so he found, he tested positive. They, he said it was very difficult. They gave him the run around. The CDC had a questionnaire when they called him, but they didn't tell him where to go. They didn't want, and they were, they originally called him, letting him know that he had come in contact.
Starting point is 00:12:20 You know, they were contact tracing. with someone who had monkeypox and he was like yeah i know i've already got monkey pox but they didn't want to they didn't contact trace him they didn't want to know where he had been really strange i don't know what we're doing but whatever it is it's wrong okay so um the er he started his throat was swelling up his tonsils were and he said that the office said oh probably should go to the er it was bacterial tonsillitis okay and they gave some antibiotics so he had that along with you know, battling the gonorrhea, plus the monkey pox. Now you think to yourself, well, how did this, did the monkey pox just come out of the air and catch this guy?
Starting point is 00:13:00 Yeah, no, not really. He went to a gathering. He was aware of the monkey pox, especially for gay men, but he was also under the impression that the number of cases in the city was relatively small. And so, yeah, I mean, what are you going to do? so what are you going to do? Well, you go to a party, right? You go to a party. And that party was the New York Pride festivities.
Starting point is 00:13:30 I know you can't, you can't not go to the New York Pride festivities, especially when he was, you know, he was working in philanthropy for the past 10 years, right, primarily focused on sexual and reproductive health and rights. You have to go to the New York Pride festivities. and of course he said that look I had sex with several guys over the weekend and a week later I started feeling fatigued go figure so there's no way that you can't get monkey pox right right and I realize it's not about men it's not about being gay or having you know having affections of feelings for men because anyone could get monkey poxie
Starting point is 00:14:18 I get it through contact. But the reason that it's so prevalent in the men who have sex with men, and along with gay men, is because they go to these pride festivities. And like he said, I had sex with several guys over the weekend. What are you going to do? Not have sex with several guys over a Pride Festival weekend? No. All right, let's go to the break room.
Starting point is 00:14:46 That's a silly. It's silly. It's not going to happen. I need something cold to drink desperately. So we got some Walking Dead news this past weekend. We found out that October 2nd will be the beginning of the end. They'll start the final eight episodes of Walking Dead, the final eight episodes of The Walking Dead. Exciting times and sad times.
Starting point is 00:15:23 the same time. Exciting times? Sad times. At the same time. You could quote me on that. Now, we also got news that Rick and Michone are coming back for a special series. Oh, so there's going to be like a spin-off show? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Well, I thought they were going to be in the movies. No, the movies. We're not going to do the movies. They're going to replace the previous plans for the Walking Dead movies. I told you, for those of you, that listen to Talking Walking Dead with myself, Jason Butchell, and my son Maximus Fisher. I told you in that show, there's no way these movies are happening. And I was proven correct, which we will talk about, I promise you, the next Talking Walking Dead,
Starting point is 00:16:11 which will either be October 3rd or we may have to do one prior to because there's some other shows, dead in the water. We're coming up on the beginning of the end for Walking Dead. and we've got this new series to talk about yet to be named with Rick and Michaud. So, plus we have the Negan and
Starting point is 00:16:32 Maggie show to talk about. So we may have to do a special talking Walking Dead prior to October 2nd and the premiere of the final eight episodes. Just amazing times. It's too going to be sad to see
Starting point is 00:16:47 Walking Dead go. Is it? Yes, that's what I just said. And I see where Vince McMahon is retiring. Wow, Vince McMahon, the head of the WWE, he released a statement saying, as I approach 77 years old, I feel it's time for me to retire as chairman and CEO of WWE. Throughout the years, it's been a privilege to help WWWE,
Starting point is 00:17:14 bring your joy, inspire, you, thrill you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and entertain you. Yep, and we love you, Vince. It's amazing. So I guess, you know, he leaves it to the daughter and Triple H, right? Stephanie and Triple H are the two, you know, his right and left hands as far as this. I don't know how much day-to-day Vince has been involved in in the last few years. But, you know, he's been the centerpiece to grow this, man. I mean, WWE is unbelievable in size, right?
Starting point is 00:17:47 So you've got, you've got, they reach over a billion homes worldwide, 30 languages. I mean, they've got distribution partners with NBC Universal, Fox Sports, BT Sport, Sony, India, and Rogers. The WWD network includes all premium live events, scheduled programming, video on demand, available in more than 180 countries. NBC Universal Streaming Service, Peacock is the exclusive home to WDU. network. I mean, Vince has laid all of that out. Right. So, I mean, it is huge. So, okay. All right. He also, I mean, I guess co-CEO is Stephanie McMahon and co-CEO is Nick Con. So I guess that's not Triple H. So sorry, Triple H. You just have to be Stephanie's husband and
Starting point is 00:18:40 move on with your life. So anyway, Vince is hanging it up. Hang it up. Hang it it up for the WWE and he's had a good ride you know so I saw a story this weekend over someone here in D of W making money renting a pool renting their pool to people that
Starting point is 00:19:01 just come in and you know use their pool to swim and so I started looking around and people are doing it there's a big story about a guy that's making you know hundreds 177,000 that's what he said that he made you know in revenue the last two years so what is
Starting point is 00:19:17 that. That's not 177,000 a year, but just for people renting your pool. So there's an app, million dollar idea, bless their hearts, Swimply, Swimply, I'm sure they say it, Swimply. S-W-I-M-P-L-Y. It is not pronounced. Amorphophalus. And I thought, what an idea. That's a, genius idea. I don't know that it'd be worth it. Right? I mean, this guy, according to Swimply, he's their top earner out of 25,000 pools in the U.S., Canada, and Australia.
Starting point is 00:19:55 So this app has 25,000 pools? Wow. It's pretty good. Now, he claims he's got, you know, his pool sits on a couple of acres. He's not confined to Homeowners Association. His wife has a barn next to the pool with rescued animals, which means that they can bring in special needs. kids and his property is isolated and quiet 70 bucks an hour for five people and if you want additional people in longer times you know we change the price a little bit the app takes 15%
Starting point is 00:20:30 cut from every booking which you know I guess is fine as long as you know the according to according to the man the app is easy to use and worth it he said he gets about 26 visits per week. Wow. That's amazing. So if you want to, you know, if you want to go swimming and you don't want to go into one of those, you know, nasty swim parks and you want to have 70 bucks an hour low for you and five people, maybe you say, hey, I'm bringing, I've got myself, my wife and two kids, I'll give you a 50 bucks. Just for an hour? Wow. That seems a little steep. But you get the privacy of a nice little pool in a neighborhood. So that's a good idea. It's a good
Starting point is 00:21:17 idea. I wish I could. You know what? You can come to my house and I'll rent your time in my backyard and I'll spray you with my hose. With my water hose. Get your mind. Stop it. It'll be cheaper if it's just a drive-bri spray. Just let me know. You pick
Starting point is 00:21:35 a time. You drive by my house. I'll have the hose out there. You drive by and I'll spray you. And then if you want for a couple extra bucks more, you can have your kids dropped off on one end of the property where the sidewalk begins, and they can run down the one sidewalk between the fence and the road, and I'll turn the sprinklers on, and then they can run through the sprinklers, and that'll, you know, I'll charge you through the app.
Starting point is 00:21:59 I like that's another, that's a million-dollar idea right there, or, you know, a $5 idea, nobody will do it. But it is an idea. Also, didn't we, I think last week we talked about Ricky Martin and being in trouble with his nephew and having to go down to Puerto Rico where he had charges against him of incest and having a big sexual relationship with his nephew. And Ricky said it was completely false
Starting point is 00:22:23 and he had, you know, he had concerned about his nephew. Well, now the judge, the Puerto Rican judge, officially dismissed the temporary restraining order and they, the judge's ruling, he posted a statement on Instagram with the caption, truth prevails, and we really want my nephew to get some help for his mental issues. So there you go. Ricky Martin was all a bunch of BS, and it never happened.
Starting point is 00:22:55 He posted a story on his Instagram that spoke about the case. I'm in front of the cameras today because I really need to talk in order for me to start my healing process. Yeah, of course you do, Ricky. two weeks I was not allowed to defend myself because I was following a procedure where the law. Puerto Rican law, yeah. The law obligating me not to talk until I was in front of a judge. And God, this claims were proven to be false, but I'm going to tell you the truth. It has been so painful.
Starting point is 00:23:38 It has been devastating for me, for my family, for my friends. I bet. I don't wish it upon anybody To the person that was claiming This nonsense I I wish him the best And I wish he finds the help
Starting point is 00:23:55 So he can start a new life He probably does Filled with love and Truth and joy And he doesn't hurt anybody else Now My priority is to heal
Starting point is 00:24:12 and to get back into television and makes a money. Oh yeah, oh, that's right. Yeah, we can't wait to be back on the camera. Yeah, oh, there we go. And entertain, which is what I do best. Right. Thank you to all of my friends.
Starting point is 00:24:28 No, you're welcome. You are welcome, Ricky. You have no idea of the strength that you gave me. Well, I do. I do know the strength that we gave you, Ricky. I do. Because I, I mean, that's got to be nightmare, right? If you're falsely accused
Starting point is 00:24:44 or something, that is a nice nightmare, especially if you're in the public eye like Ricky Martin has been and I mean, nobody now, I mean, he's tainted, right? When he talks about healing, he's tainted now with this and that's not good.
Starting point is 00:25:00 You can quote me on that. That is not good. So I hope, I want him to come out of this. Because if it truly was false accusations and that's you know, certainly what we are led to believe right now, he's got to come out of it
Starting point is 00:25:16 within shining colors and start, you know, performing. Like he said, get back in front of the camera and make people forget about these false accusations because, again, it was not good. But congratulations to Ricky and, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:33 getting this put behind him. And good luck. God bless. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Hey, I won! Feel the fun! The morning will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating. 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 1-8665-3-1-2-60 or visit comex Ontario.ca. Okay. In the world of who died today, who died today? It's full of animals today.
Starting point is 00:26:30 The world's oldest male panda in captivity died in Hong Kong at the age of 35. And when I say died, apparently he wasn't feeling well, so we just put him down. Yeah, he's an old panda. He's 35. He's lived a pretty good life. and he's been here at the old ocean park, Hong Kong, and I don't know what, he's not feeling good. We'll just put him down.
Starting point is 00:26:57 So, the oldest male panda in captivity has been put down at the age of 35 years of age. Martha Stewart had six peacocks killed, killed, savagely killed, she said, by marauding group of coyotes. She lives in Connecticut. She's got a compound. You can't stop the coyotes? Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:27:25 They just broke in broad daylight and devoured her peacocks. Here's an idea. Shoot them. Okay. Shoot them. Are those coyotes? Yes. Dead.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Okay. She'd probably go to jail for that too. Shooting coyotes, wild coyotes in Connecticut. But she asked on her post, any solutions to getting rid of six large, aggressive coyotes? yes, a weapon, a gun. We're no longer allowing the P-file out of their yard.
Starting point is 00:27:57 The P-fowl out of their yard. We're enclosing the top of their large yard and wire fencing. So you're putting them in jail? Because the gang of coyote is out savagely eating peacocks. We don't want the rest of them to get eaten. So, I mean, I say you put the coyotes down. Hello, humans first. Now, I realize that they're not attacking humans.
Starting point is 00:28:19 They're attacking, you know, peacocks. That's what they do. But maybe it's time that we, you know, we put them down. Let's go ahead and set some traps. If you want to be nice about it, set some traps. And, you know, then we can ship them off somewhere if you want to be nice. Or maybe you could just set some traps. And then once you catch them, you put them down and we move on with our lives.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Okay. Okay. Good. Then I see where a bunch of baby chickens, died to excessive heat at Miami airport. I know. Thousands, thousands of baby chickens died from excessive heat, found in a cargo warehouse at a Miami-Dade Airport,
Starting point is 00:29:05 cargo warehouse. An employee walked in and said, hey, I was going out with all these chickens. It's awful quiet in here. Yeah, a little warm in there. So I've been loaded. into a metal baggage carts and we had
Starting point is 00:29:22 them out in the sun so sorry that had nothing to do with this warmer temperature and hot air that's in Florida they would do that any time of the year in Florida well almost any time of the year so they were being transported
Starting point is 00:29:38 to the Bahamas so I guess they didn't kill them all so the ones left over while mentally damaged are still being shipped off to the Bahamas. So good for them. They finished their trip to the Bahamas so they could grow big and be killed. But the little babies didn't make it. So sorry about
Starting point is 00:29:59 that. And then there was the dead shark that washed up on the Long Island beach. Dead white shark washed up on the Long Island beach. It's a big old boy two. Seven to eight feet washed up. And then it was on the state. They called the authorities. Nobody messed with it. Nobody was taking self on the back of the dead shark that I know of. And so they called the authorities and the authorities showed up
Starting point is 00:30:27 and then, oh yeah, well, you know, washed back out to sea before we were able to do anything. What? Yeah, so we're just letting people know. If you're out swimming and you run into a floating dead shark, that's probably the one that washed up on shore. So you probably should just
Starting point is 00:30:42 you know, call the police or you know, let somebody know that you found the dead shark floating out in the ocean. Oh, okay. I mean, nobody could take care of it. Just sat there and watched it walk, washed back out to sea. Sad.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Sad, sad, sad, sad. And another animal that is not dead yet, but it is now on the endangered species list, is the monarch butterfly, now considered endangered. Studies estimate North American population, have dropped anywhere from 20 to 70% over the last decade. That's a lot.
Starting point is 00:31:24 The migratory monarch butterfly, the Danes, the Danes, Plexipus. Yeah, that's what I said. The Danes Plexipus, Plexipus, known for his spectacular annual journey of up to 4,000 kilometers across the Americas, has now entered the IUCN. Red List of Threatened Species as Endangered. For those of you wondering what the IUCN is, that's the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Duh.
Starting point is 00:32:05 While the IUCN Red List now includes 147,517 species, of which 41,459 are 3,459 are 3159,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, threatened with extinction? Well, I mean, if they're on the list, aren't they all threatened with extinction? No, Jeff. No, they are not. Today's Red List highlights the fragility of nature's wonders, such as the unique spectacle of monarch butterflies migrating across thousands of kilometers. To preserve the rich diversity of nature, we need effective, fairly governed, protected, conserved areas, alongside decisive action to tackle climate change and restore ecosystems. In turn, conserving biodiversity supports communities by providing essential services such as food,
Starting point is 00:32:57 water, and sustainable jobs. Not sure what providing food, water, and sustainable jobs does for monarch butterflies, but hey, Dr. Bruno Oberley, the IUCN Director General, believes that it is a It will. Speaking of endangered species, I see where President Joe Biden has COVID-19. If you didn't know that, I'm just giving you a quick update on the president. He likely has the highly contagious strain of COVID-19, but as moderate symptoms, they're improving. The White House doctor said that the variant known as the BA-5 is an offshoot of the Amacron
Starting point is 00:33:39 strain that emerged late last year. It's now believed to be responsible for the vast. majority of the new coronavirus cases in the country. President Biden's physician said that Biden's earlier symptoms, including a runny nose and cough, have become less troublesome. He did mention a sore throat and body aches. His vital signs, blood pressure, and respiratory rate remain entirely normal. His oxygen saturation levels are excellent with no shortness of breath at all.
Starting point is 00:34:11 His lungs remain clear. The results of the preliminary. DNA sequencing that indicated Biden is infected with the BA5 variant do not affect his treatment plan in any way. And so he tested positive for the virus Thursday morning. Oh yeah, because it was announced Thursday. And listen, you know, he has been isolating at the White House residents, administration officials have emphasized that his symptoms are mild because he has received four vaccine doses and he started taking the antiviral drug. Paxilwood after becoming infected.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Isn't that great? Because I see where Dr. Burks, Dr. Deborah Berks, has been quoted as saying, I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection. And I think we overplayed the vaccines. And it made people then worry that it's not going to protect against severe disease and hospitalization. Huh.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Isn't that strange? So we're still making a big deal out of President Biden being vaxed and boosted, but the doctors that were part of the presidential team, yeah, we knew, they really weren't going to protect against the infection, but, you know, we went ahead and said it anyway because we wanted to happen. Oh, okay. That's great. That's perfect. With MX Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too.

Starting point is 00:36:00 Conditions apply. All right, a couple of emails to the show, which you can do at any time, if you wish, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. This email from Jesse, I have to get a little angry. Oh, my gosh. This is under the subject line. Jeffie, I love you and your show, but. Oh, boy. Anytime you get a butt.
Starting point is 00:36:24 You can quote me on that. Anytime you get a butt. I have to get a little angry about your take on the little girls at Sesame Place. The person who was in costume blatantly said no to the two little black girls and hugged the little white girl next to them. What does that tell those little girls? You're different, and I prefer the white child over you. And this wasn't the first time this has occurred there. Sesame Place, more like Sesame Racist.
Starting point is 00:36:54 You know what? Originally, I was kind of on, come on, come on, quit your whining. What are you doing? It's just get over it. And their response was that, you know, the character blew off picking up a kid behind the two little girls. So he wasn't really blowing off the two little girls. There's new footage now that shows that that really wasn't the case. It really kind of wasn't the case.
Starting point is 00:37:23 and it looks more like it was a thing where I'm not going to high-five the black girls. I don't know. You see the footage walk by. You see the two girls. You don't see anyone behind there. They still, the attorney is after them. The attorney claims he has other cases too.
Starting point is 00:37:44 So where this place has proven to be racist, which is amazing because they have so many African-American people. coming to this park and to be treated like that, no. That can't stand. So I'm with you, Jesse. I'm with you. My take was originally off of the first video I saw, which was, I thought was a little misleading because you never can tell with that short
Starting point is 00:38:10 time period. When I saw the other video from across the way, it does look like Sesame Place. Well, what's the word I'm looking for? A lie. And so they're going to deal with it. They said they were dealing with it. We'll see. They're going to deal with it for sure, thanks to this lawsuit.
Starting point is 00:38:26 That's for sure. And you're right. It does. It is not good for those little girls to be treated that way. No question. I'm 100% with you on that. So, you know, am I going to bend the knee and say, I'm sorry? All right, fine.
Starting point is 00:38:41 There. I'm sorry. All right. You happy? I mean, it's incredible that this happens in today's world. Just incredible. I mean, how does it? You're a Sesame Street character.
Starting point is 00:38:57 You're walking down the street. There's little kids with their hands up to give you five. Your job is to make these kids happy and high-five of. Now, are you going to miss some? Absolutely. Are you going to go buy some? Is what they said happened originally? Could that happen?
Starting point is 00:39:16 100% that could happen. But it doesn't look like this is what happened in this particular case. and if this attorney has more cases like he says he does of this type of behavior from the Sesame Street characters, completely 100% unacceptable. No question about it. Then I got the email from John. Do I want to leave you with this email today? It's a little bit of a joke. It's an adult joke.
Starting point is 00:39:45 But it made me laugh. And I thought, you know, you could take this with you today, the 25th of July. lie. Email from John. I apologize for not recognizing your affinity for food, but I'm reminded about a very old joke. I'm not quite sure what that means, but I just want to go with the joke. I apologize for not recognized your affinity for food, but I guess recognizing your affinity food, but I'm reminded about a very old joke. Okay. I'm not sure what John is referring. to, but you know what? Apology accepted, okay?
Starting point is 00:40:27 All right, fine. I'll accept your apology for not recognizing my affinity for food there. And so I guess my fatness reminded him of this joke. I guess I'm not sure. It really doesn't have much to do with fatness. But okay. So back in the early 50s, a traveling salesman was on the back roads of Iowa and saw a billboard which read 50 miles to Grandma's Horhouse.
Starting point is 00:40:50 He didn't believe what he saw. but the next one said 25 miles to Grandma's Horhouse. Now, he's interested because he's been on the road for a while and could use a little bit. Next billboard said only 10 miles to Grandma's Horhouse. Ten miles later, he pulls off into a farmhouse with a sign reading Grandma's Horhouse. He goes to the front door and rings the bell.
Starting point is 00:41:13 A diminutive older lady comes to the door, without a word, waves him into the parlor. She hans him a photo album with pictures of attractive lady. he selects one and gives the old lady the amount on the picture. She points to a door at the end of the hallway. He hurries down, goes through the door which he closes and locks behind him, and on the back of the door is a sign, you have just been screwed by grandma.
