Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Okay, I don't know what is happening, but yesterday we talked about the protein shakes being recalled. We talked about the frozen pizzas being recalled. Now, today, we're talking about the Capri Sun juice being recalled.

I know. It's the Capri Sun Wild Cherry, The Kraft Hines product is recalling thousands of the flavored juice pouches after just some cleaning solution contaminated them. Oh, okay. Yeah, the wild cherry products with the June 25th, 2023, best when used by date on them, shouldn't be used. You should return them for a full refund. So apparently consumers were complaining about the, the taste.

And the company went, whoa, wait, what? Really? Yeah. Don't poke into any of the cherry caprisons for a bit. We're going to go ahead and just try to wrangle them in. If cleaning solutions didn't make it in, it was totally, you know, inadvertent. I mean, didn't. If the cleaning solution did make it in, it was totally inadvertent.

Really? so we thought someone would think that you did it on purpose? Okay. I mean, holy cow. So 5,760 cases of Capri-Son that they

say might, might be contaminated of that cleaning solution. Sure, people were complaining about it. Sure, if it happened, it was inadvertent. We didn't mean it. Okay. And then we find out that we're going to have a problem with spaghetti sauce because there's going to be a tomato tomato shortage wait what yes uh yes it's going to be a problem with uh for tomato sauce and canned tomatoes

and so be ready for that and be ready for you know price increases on that oh okay i feel like uh should this should lead me right into a commercial on uh purchasing uh purchasing food products for in case you we run out of food but they don't advertise on this show so welcome welcome to chewing the fat as long as we're talking about food if you're looking for a part-time gig uh you know a side hustle uh trader jo's is looking for someone who will taste all their pumpkin spice products uh they want to hire someone who can help taste and evaluate all the fall inspired pumpkin paloosa foods at trader joes they're going to give you a thousand bucks and a five hundred dollar trader joe's gift card if you're selected as the

pumpkin spice pundant so you can go to their their website and apply if you want to become the pumpkin spice pundant for trader joes i mean you get a thousand bucks on a $500 gift card, but you've got to go around and eat all that pumpkin spice, apple, cider, I don't know, I don't know, after a couple days, you might find yourself thinking, you know, maybe not. And then I see where Snoop Dog has just started selling his own new cereal. Now, it isn't out yet, but it's, it's, I know, it's a snoop loops, more marshmallows, according to the box. It's the multi-grained product That's going to be released through Snoop Dog's brand

Brodus Foods, which already has breakfast items such as oatmeal and pancake mix through its Mama Snoops line. Man, I didn't know that I could get a Mama Snoop pancake mix, but now that I do, according to Master P,

Snoop loops will be the best tasting cereal in the game. Now, it doesn't have a designation. to release date yet, but man, we can look forward to Snoop loops for sure. Now, apparently, also Snoop Dog, while he's, you know, hawk and oatmeal and mama's pancake mix, he also sells wine and weed. So good for Snoop Dog. Good, good for Snoop Dog.

And we have this. Can we stop with the ice cream flavors? I mean, ice cream is not meant to taste like ketchup or mayonnaise. and now we have Miller High Life's new ice cream which, you know, is going to have their you know, ice cream tasting like Miller beer.

I don't know. I mean, I know we have the mac and cheese ice cream and the Gray Poupan ice cream and the French's ketchup iced pops. And IKEA has the meatball candle and Burger in the Park candle from Shake,

Jack. That might actually smell good. And McDonald's, that's good, if you burn the Shake Shacks Burger in the Park candle, all you're going to want to do is just go to Shake Shack. McDonald's Six Candle Quarter Pounder Set. Lech. And so now you get to have the Miller High Life ice cream dive bars. Oh, that's so cute. Oh, just please stop.

And, you know, speaking of food. someone who is eaten too much of it, you know, along with myself. Apparently we have another story of someone being fat shamed at a theme park and they're upset.

And who lets their employees treat people this way? And after this experience, I hid behind a garbage can and just sobbed. So this girl was at Cedar Point, which is in Ohio,

which is just below. Michigan, which I've been to Cedar Point multiple times, describes itself as a must-do experience for anyone visiting Ohio. The park features 70 rides from the family-friendly Snake River Expedition to the adrenaline-pumping rollercoasters like steel vengeance and Millennium Force. And it has live shows and, you know, dining and everything. I mean, it's a theme part. And so apparently there's a girl that got on a roller coaster and was told, yeah, you don't fit. Now, I've talked about having to take the walk of shame myself. You try to fit.

You think you're going to fit. They claim they have a fat guy seat up front. They put you in it and they do everything they can to shove that thing tight because all they got to do is hear the click. I mean, you might not be able to breathe. You might have organ parts coming out of your rear end when that thing clicks in. But you're going on that ride. And they just push that bar down. And they just wait to hear the click.

But if you don't hear the click, you got to go out. You're out. You're out. And I've taken the walk of shame. We're like, yeah, we're not doing it. It doesn't click. Yeah, we got a, we got, he's too fat.

He's too big. And they walk you past everybody else is just sitting waiting for the ride to go. And they're pissed at you because you're holding up the ride. And they're just telling their kids, don't worry. It will be going in a second as soon as they get this fat guy off the platform. And so that's just the way it is. That's part of theme park living when you're overweight. That's why we've talked about it before.

That's why they put the seats down in the front of the rides now. So would you look at them as you're walking up to the ride? You're like, yeah, no, I can't fit in that seat. You guys go ahead. I'll be over at the snack bar. I mean, that's what happens. And look, it's safety first, right? You got to hear the click.

That's what happened in Orlando with a young kid. It didn't click. And he died. You can't do it. You got to click. And so she claimed she was singled out. Other guests reportedly being bigger than her on the same ride, I know. I find that hard to believe because if they got the click, they're not bigger than you.

Okay? They may appear to be bigger than you, but maybe they're bigger than you, you know, from the shoulders up. But from where they have to get the click on the waist, they're thinner than you. I don't know. but I'm just saying that if you don't get the click, you don't get the ride. You can quote me on that. You don't get the click. You don't get the ride.

And if you don't get the ride, you get the walk of shame, the fat shame walk. Now, I don't know how they, I doubt very much that the employees said, yeah, she's too fat. We got her, can't be on the ride. Hold up. We can't take off. Yeah, we got another fat one. I doubt that happen. I doubt they were just like, man, it doesn't work.

We can't get you to click. You got to go. You got to leave the platform. You got to get off the ride and walk back out. And so it's the fat shaming walk. But I realize that it's sad and depressing. But if you can't get to click, you don't get the ride. All right.

Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So we talked about it a little bit last week, I think, about Walmart Plus or Walmart being in talks with some of the streaming services. And it's official now, Paramount has agreed to provide subscribers to Walmart's premium service access to its streaming service. And I'm sure that it's the Paramount Plus with commercials. That's what I have through my cell phone company. I get a free Paramount Plus subscription with commercials. it's almost not worth it,

but okay, I mean, I settle for it because I've got enough streaming services. Okay, so if I have to watch something on Paramount, which I do, you know, I have to sit through the commercials, which is kind of agonizing. But so they're happy. We know Walmart Plus is providing members

a real value in there every day, from grocery shopping to filling up their tank and more. Oh, that's great. So users will get access to Paramount. Plus starting in September, no additional cost. It's Walmart Plus. Subscriptions are $98 a year, $12.99 a month. And so they're happy.

They have something to offer. They think they're keeping up with Amazon's Prime service is that. If you have Walmart Plus, you get free shipping, faster checkout, cheaper gas for Walmart gas stations. That's the one thing that kind of ticks me off about the Walmart Plus is that I don't know how much, if you have a Walmart Plus card, let me know, email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Or, you know, tweet me at Jeffie JFR, or Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, YouTube, Chewing the Fat at Jeff Fisher, whatever. Cameo me at Jeffrey JFR. So I want to know what is the discount at the Walmart gas stations, the Murphy stations, if any at all, or if it has to be a specific Walmart gas station?

or because they allow you to use the Walmart plus card at Sam's Club, which really ticks me off because I spend extra money to have a Sam's Club membership and I don't want Walmart Plus members, you know, hogging the line. Go to Murphy's, get a deal there. But if you, the Sam's Club gas should be specifically for Sam's Club members. That's just my belief. And I've actually sent emails when they ask how our service was and everything to them. they haven't responded to me.

I know. Weird. So according to this, Walmart Plus has 32 million members right now. And, you know, Amazon Primes right now says they have 172 million members. It's a tad more than 32 million. Now, the Prime is tough because you get the shopping and you get the video streaming service, right? I have a feeling that's going to break. soon and that's going to be very disheartening because they keep raising the price of Prime of Amazon Prime membership

and so I think at a point they're going to have to break it up and they're just going to say yep the streaming is separate and if you want the goods and services that's separate as well so we'll see I don't want that to happen I mean I kind of like the way it is but I have a feeling that that is going to happen I see where HBO Max has laid off Not 70 people. It's part of the workforce reduction following the Warner Media Discovery merger. Oh, gosh, darn it. I mean, everyone knew that was going to happen, right?

And I see where season two of Depp Hurd is fastly approaching. I know. So Amber Heard has hired new lawyers for the Johnny Depp. trial verdict appeal. Oh, okay. So she's replacing most of her legal team and leaning into the Constitution, as she prepares to appeal

the multi-million dollar defamation verdict award to Johnny Depp. I mean, that last trial hurt her bad, made her look terrible. So according to her new attorneys, we welcome the opportunity to represent misheard, do you?

And in this appeal. And as it is a case with important, First Amendment implications for every American. Oh. Okay. Okay. You know, the judgment against misheard and reaffirm the fundamental principles

of freedom of speech. Okay. All right. Sure. No problem. Johnny was ready to move on. I mean, he's touring. With back doing concerts, he's now going to return to directing. He's joining forces with Al Pacino to do some Italian artist biopic, biopic. He's returning, let's see, what's he doing?

His directorial debut is making behind the camera with Al Pacino co-producing the project titled Modegalani, which is about the Italian artist Amadeo, Maudaulani. I love Amadeo Mogadigalani. Amorphophalus. I don't think that's the way he pronounces it. So the movie is set to begin production in Europe in 2023. They don't have a cast yet.

I mean, he did, Johnny Depp, did direct himself and Marlon Brando in the 1997, The Brave. I mean, Depp is working, man. He's out there working. He's filming a movie right now in France. some love affair between King Louis and Yom de Barry. All right, that's set to premiere in France in 2023. He renewed his multi-million dollar deal with Dior for Sausage. Oh, no, wait, that's mine.

His is Savage. And so Johnny is moving on. He's back to work. Let's go. And Amber is still crying in her beer. So, all right. Whatever you say, Amber. If you got to keep it in the courts, keep it in the courts.

But good luck, because it's not looking good for you. And jury selection begins in the R. Kelly Child Pornography and Obstruction Child. Trial, currently he is serving 30 years on separate sex trafficking and racketeering charges. So things are looking good in the life of R. Kelly. And I feel like I keep seeing this story, and I don't know if it's real or not. It says, it's happening. LGBT drop the T keeps trending. And according to this, gay activists are turning on the transgender activists.

Wow. Is it real? I mean, it's not going to be LGBT QIA plus anymore. I mean, according to this, hashtag LGBT, drop the T. The T hitched a ride a few years back, invited itself for dinner. and is trying to make out like it's always lived here. It didn't. Pride marches, protest, and LGBT rights happened without the T.

I remember. I was there. I also remember the T wasn't. LGBT or LGBT drop the T. No thanks. I'm gay. The G part. Which means I exclusively like men,

not women. who think they're men. Wow. I mean, I'm telling you, it's not looking good for the trans movement. That's for sure. I mean, I realize that the T has been there for a while, but according to this article, transgenderism relies entirely upon the non-existence

of a gender binary, assuming a sliding scale of gender identity that denies their even, is such a thing as truly male or truly female. Needless to say, there can be no gay man if there's no such thing as a man. There could be no lesbian if there's no such thing as a woman. Beyond just that, the transgender movement has brought excess cultural baggage that involves the erasure of sex distinctions in athletics, public locker rooms, bathrooms, dressing rooms, the denial of biological realities,

coining of pretend pronouns with bizarre sounding names like Zir, Mix, and Zee, and even the attempted normalization of age and inappropriate drag performances for children. None of that has anything to do with the original objectives, intense and purposes of the lesbian, gay, and even bisexual equality movement. And it seems that though there is a growing and increasingly vocal contingent of those individuals who have had enough. LGBT dropped a T. We didn't sign on for this.

We don't want kids groomed. Not wanting men in our spaces or to have sex with certain genitalia does not make us transphobes. We promised it wasn't the slippery slope they feared. You took advantage of our goodwill. It's gone too far. Wow. Okay. hashtag

LGBT drop the tea doesn't sign anything about the IA plus though so we'll see With Amex platinum $400 in annual credits for travel and dining

means you not only satisfy your travel bug but your taste buds too that's the powerful backing of Amex Conditions apply Okay Who died today

Who died today? Well, 45 years ago, today. For those of you listening live, the 16th of August, 2022, in 1977, in Graceland, Tennessee. Elvis Presley, the king died. I know. It's been 45 years since the king died. Rest in peace. Elvis, Aaron Presley.

You can go back and listen to a Chewing the Fat episode, 697, with, I interviewed Sally Hodel about her book, Elvis Destined to Die Young. Fascinating book, fascinating interview. I should talk to Sally again about her thoughts on the movie because the movie was really fun. It was a fun ride, I thought. But it's been 45 years since the king has passed away, if you believe that he's passed away.

So Elvis Eric Presley. Dead. Rest in peace. Elvis, rest in peace. Also, in Who Died Today? 88-year-old Nancy A. Becker in Sun City, Hilton Head, South Carolina, apparently was gardening near the pond

when she slipped into the water. that was a mistake because the 9 foot 8 inch male alligator decided to kill Nancy and so rest in peace Nancy apparently the Gator killed her but then you think I don't know I mean they you know he was standing guard next to the body didn't drag her into the water I mean Nancy just didn't disappear apparently the gator was just standing guard beside a human body near the pond and so people showed up and said hey uh nancy nancy all right yeah nancy's not moving uh she's dead so they got you know removed the gator and they took him in for questioning and uh the gator i guess admitted to his crime because then uh they had to put him down

not sure if it only took that one shot but you know i'm sure that it was fine So Sun City Hilton head covers 5,725 acres, 1,500 of which are open land and wetlands. So there are 200 ponds and lagoons. So you have to keep an eye out. I mean, I lived in Florida for a long time. I know. It's a surprise.

I never talk about it. So, you know, if you're out by the pond, you know, my in-laws had a house right by an inland pond like that. And Gators show up. And you're just out there mowing the lawn and you see those eyes pop up. Poop. And they're just waiting. They're waiting for the little puppy dog, the little cat, or you to come toward the edge of the lake or the pond.

Because they just show up, man. If there's water, a gator will show up. That's a fact. So this is the fourth confirmed fatal alligator attack in the United States this year, the second in South Carolina. Okay. So, I mean, they had a guy back in June killed near a region. attention pond out there by Myrtle Beach. So, you know, normally they say, oh, alligator attacks, they're rare, especially fatal ones, they're rare.

Alligators have a natural fear for humans. They have a natural fear for humans until they don't. And so just beware when you're out and about. We used to walk this one park in Seminole and you had the walkway, you know, the walk path through the back of the park. and it was Lake Seminole, the park was on, but inside the park was this, you know, swamp land. And wherever there's water, gators will show up. And they're there.

And you're out walking along that little pathway, and you just see those two eyes, boop, come up out of the water, man. I love them. I love them. That's why Gatorland is one of the best places in the country. You know, just, well, it's in Kissimmee, Florida, technically. It's right there on the border of,

of Orlando and Kissimme. Gatorland. If you want to go have some fun with gators, go to Gatorland. This is an unpaid commercial. So remember the lady, speaking of animal attacks, that got gored by the vison

at Custer State Park in South Dakota? I mean, this was a couple of months ago now. And so apparently, she has been, she was left partially paralyzed after being gored by the, The bison, she's lucky to be alive, right? I mean, the bison tossed her 15 feet in the air.

She was hiking. She was left bleeding. The bison charged one of its horns pierced her thigh, severing a femal artery, damaging nerves in her lower leg between the thighs. You know, the attack of the animal, six feet, not weigh 2,000 pounds, stood near the backpacker's head until her friend managed to lead it away and called for emergency services. She said, I remember feeling the pressure. on my hip. My hip being pushed back and I remember the sensation of flying in the air and going head

over heels. Oof. The bison stuck around and his hooves were right over my head. I remember them being like right there by my head. Woof. Okay. That's a surreal experience. Yeah. No kidding. So they've launched a GoFundMe page to help her out and I hope that she gets all the help that she needs because the daughter's paralysis and severe nerve damage. You know, she is seriously lucky to be alive. But don't mess with the bison, okay? I know you're worried about the gators and the swamps, but if you're going to the national parks, you know, stay away from the bison.

I was just looking at a photo of some lady that was outtaking pictures with her friends and the bison's are, you know, blocking horns against each other. and they keep getting closer. I guess the two bison as the bison are, you know, duking it out on the street and the tourists are walking closer to the dupycin.

I just wanted the two bison to stop, turn around, and just go, you know something. If you come any closer with that camera, I'm going to take my bison horn and ram it right up your ass. Apparently the video stopped before that happened. And I see where you need to be careful,

especially you females, but I mean, this is a male thing too. I see where a Mississippi woman, while having sex with her husband, popped the aorta. She said she almost died during orgasm when the sex position popped by aorta. You don't want that.

You do not want to achieve the big O and pop the big A. Now, you don't even want to pop the big A and pop the big A. of you get my meaning. So she was having, you know, taking care of business with the husband. And she felt a pop in her chest,

radiation in her back. Oof, not good. And so they rushed her to the hospital. She had stabbing chest pains 10 out of 10. Now, according to this, she didn't have to, they did it without surgery. They got her through it without surgery,

which is awesome. You know, apparently a tear often begins as the aorta is weakened And over time, the erosion is typically caused by high blood pressure. She claims that she had past history of hypertension. She was 45 years old. Admitted to approximately a 17-year history of tobacco abuse. I love how it's abused now.

Stating, she currently smoked six to seven cigarettes a day. No one smokes six to seven cigarettes a day. Sorry, it just doesn't happen. Maybe if she quit and she was snobes, sneaking back to smoking again? Maybe. Maybe. Had she quit for a while?

And then she decided that, you know, she was going to start smoking again. Because I quit a few times in my life before the last time. You know, the last time is the last time. And, you know, you end up smoking one. And you think, ah, no, that's good. I don't know. I'm not going to start smoking again.

And then a little bit later on the day, you're smoking another one. And so you're up to six or seven cigarettes in two or three days. And then you're back to a pack, pack and a half, a couple packs a day. I mean, it's amazing to me to think about smoking 20, I mean, there's 20 in a pack, smoking 20 cigarettes a day. Ooh. Sounds good, actually. Wow.

Better Call Saul! Speaking of smoking cigarettes. Better Call Saul ended last night. Very sad. That's who died today, too. Better Call Saul. The final episode was last night. It was really.

I was sad to see the show go, but it was nice. They got to end it with saying goodbye and thank you, and the main characters were all saying goodbye. It was awesome. And you got to see

Jimmy and what's her face? Kim, you know, Saul and Kim. You got to see them share a cigarette at the end in jail. It was awesome. And those are the cigarettes that look so good. At the end of the night when they would have a beer

and share a. a cigarette. Oh my gosh, those cigarettes always looked so good. But it was a farewell to a better call Saul with the finale last night and it's over. Goodbye. Have a nice day. All

wrapped up in a bow. Everybody's happy. Anyway, popping the A during the O. It's known as acute aortic syndrome or AAS. It's on the spectrum of severe life-threatening diseases.

Wow. If left untreated, an aortic rip can lead to death, and on average has instantly killed 40% of sufferers, according to the research. Wow. So, be careful out there. Men have a 2.1 higher incidence of developing AAS, and the peak of age diagnosis is later adulthood

around the age of 65 years of age. So the risk of sudden cardiac death also shows similar patterns with an incident reported in men noted during personal business, sexual interaction with business of prostitutes and extramarital sexual activity. Oh, so if you're sneaking around taking care of business by yourself or you're hooking up with somebody you paid for or you're cheating on your spouse. the chances of you are popping an A while you're trying to get an O increase. You can quote me on that. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything.

And the quiz is they give you a sixth things and they give you whether it's U.S. states or countries and you have to figure out whether they share a border or not. and so like Brazil and Argentina.

Yes, of course they shall share a border. North Dakota and Wyoming. No, they do not. I know they're close. I mean, you think about North Dakota and Wyoming. Do they share a border? They don't, though. They don't.

Russia and North Korea. You want to say no, but they do. They have a small portion of, I think it's maritime border. It's the same as another one on this list. But it's mostly China, the North Korean border, but there is a part of Russia there too. Florida and Mississippi. No, duh. Iran and Afghanistan.

Yes. Duh. And New York and Rhode Island. Yeah, I mean, they have a, I guess, a maritime border. Because I would say, you know, no, I don't think so. But I guess they have some kind of maritime border, which is what I think Russia, North Korea, I have two is a small area that's possibly a maritime border. I didn't look at a map, but I'm pretty sure that's where it is because it's mostly China.

I thought it was just China. So they claim here that it's that they do share a border. So there you have it. It was just a fascinating little side note for me on geography. Another thing I saw online this morning. Well, everything I saw was online this morning since I used computers. But this one is a picture of a wind-powered ship. We've got this giant ship, and it's got these giant sails, right?

And it's talking about this. Wind-powered cargo ship is set to change the way we ship the goods across oceans. The model is very practical and is looking at a possible launch in 2024. And then underneath it is a comment, wind-powered ships. What a time to be alive. It made me laugh because haven't we been using wind-powered ships

since the freaking Vikings? I mean, it's not that big a deal. And it seems stupid. It seems like why would we do that when we have fuel? Oh, that's right. Climate change. Never mind.

Yeah, that same climate change Had my power bill go up Double over the summer But wind-powered ships will save us Oh, and I'd like to, you know, I hope she's doing well Jill Biden, wife of Joe Biden, The President of the United States of America Has just tested positive for COVID-19

I see where the Pfizer CEO Albert Morla has tested positive for COVID-19. I see where Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has tested positive for a second time this year with COVID-19. I mean, just think, just think how many times he could have been affected had he not been vaccinated. I mean, these people are all quadruple vaccinated, boosted, it's incredible, and they continue to get COVID-19.

Does it do any good at all? The United Kingdom just became the first country to approve the use of an updated coronavirus booster shot. Oh, good. Yay! The regulators have greenlit Bidernas latest vaccine. The two-shot regimen available to those 50 and over in early fall. in the UK. They will target both the original virus as well as the Amacron variants. So that's good. I mean, clinical trials of the new booster showed strong immune responses to both strains with mild side effects. Did it? Yeah, I know, look, the original booster shots continue to fortify

against severe disease, but, you know, we've got this. So this response to two different manageants will become available. Man, I just can't worry. I know the U.S. has ordered 66 million doses of the new vaccine as it awaits approval ahead of a planned fall booster campaign. Oh, I can't wait. Can't wait for the fall booster campaign because all these people that are telling you to get quadruple vaccinated and boosted.

And, you know, it's just, I guess they're just thankful that how bad it could have been had they not been quadruple vaccinated. So, you know, there's that. Then I see, speak of the pox, the pox is still in the news. Two men in France have now given monkey pox to their dog. I know. going from animal to man and man to animal. Okay. I mean, the dog was given the test,

and it came back positive for monkeypox, and it was the same strain as the two men. One age 44 with HIV, and the other age 27 without came to a Paris hospital with skin lesions, and were diagnosed with monkeypox. Genetic sequencing of the dog's virus found that the men could be the exact matches. The two men who are living. lived together but had variety of sexual partners,

said they shared a sleeping space with the dog at night. Yeah, so the dog climbed into bed at night and got the virus. I mean, it's, I mean, I know everyone wants, oh, these guys are doing it with their dog, but I doubt it. I doubt it. The CDC is also not recommended that gay and bisexual men limit the number of sexual partners to reduce the spreading of monkeypox. Good.

I know the World Health Organization has made. those recommendations, but, I mean, it's a public health emergency, but whatever you do, you don't need to reduce the risk of spreading monkeypox by reducing the number of your sexual partners. That can't happen. Okay, don't do that, whatever you do. What are the numbers on monkeypox today? Wow.

We have 11,890 total confirmed monkeypox orthopox virus cases in the United States. States as of the recording right now. Holy cow. Who's number one? Who's coming in at number one? California has just under 2,000. Illinois has 830. Oh, New York has 2,376.

So New York, California, Texas has 992. It's looking like New York, California. Where was Florida in there? has a thousand to 185 but New York and

California are just bustling. They're just busting out with the pox. And don't forget the Who wants

to rename Monkey Pox because of the they want to avoid discrimination and stigmatization. Oh.

Okay. No problem. Uh, gotcha. I mean, I see where the actor Charles Harris.

I don't know if you've seen the video or not. It is hilarious that he posted on Instagram. And he said, you know, be safe out there, y'all. Monkeypox is real. And he has a mask on his face. And then he pulls the mask off and he comes out. It looks like a chimp. A chimp isn't a monkey.

Okay, Charles. I just want you to know that. It is hilarious. And, I mean, no one else could get away with that. I mean, no one white could get away with that, but it's really funny that Charles did it. He took a lot of heat, a lot of the comments on his, on his Instagram post were, I mean, they were mad at him.

I thought it was hilarious. I know that, you know, and of course, you know, there are some people out there, I-O-M-G, you need your account suspended. No, he doesn't. He's just making fun and having a joke. So shut up. The monkey box is real, y'all.

Anyway, we can get information out there so that people don't get the pox is important. No matter how it's done, don't pox me, bro.
