Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi, I'm Sophia Loper Caro, host of the Before the Chorus podcast. We dive into the life experiences behind the music we love. Artists of all genres are welcome, and I've been joined by some pretty amazing folks, like Glass Animals. I guess that was the idea, was to try something personal and see what happened. And Japanese breakfast. I thought that the most surprising thing I could offer was an album about joy. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Oh, and remember, so much happens before the chorus. Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Nothing says America, like getting in a car crash while you're drunk. And then let's go ahead and just auction the car off. Now, we don't know what the auction is for, where the money goes, but we're going to go ahead and auction it off. The 2021 Carrera 4S Porsche that Paul Pelosi crashed in California on the 28th of May is now up
Starting point is 00:01:00 for auction. It's got an estimated retail value of $170,000, with a mere 2,738 miles on it. I don't know what it's being auctioned off for. I don't know if the junkyard purchased it, if it was totaled, and Paul just said, keep it. I don't want anything to do with it. Go ahead and keep it yourself. Do what you want with it. but it is being auctioned off, or if it's being auctioned off for some charity, which, you know, would be nice, but we're talking about the Pelosi's now.
Starting point is 00:01:39 So I'm not real sure what happens to it, and I don't know how much you'd pay for it. But it, you know, still a nice car, even though, you know, it's got a little damage. And so Paul probably isn't going to be, you know, fixing it up and driving it, and he's got enough money to not have to worry about it. And the woman who answered the phone at the auction yard told Fox that she had no additional
Starting point is 00:02:08 information on the Porsche beyond its public listing. Cars up for auction at copart.com come from both insurance companies and private dealers. So there's no telling what happened if he just gave it to them. If he said, take it, I'm not paying for the tow job. It's your car. Which I have done before. I've had a car totaled and towed away and said a new You keep it. It's totaled. I don't want anything to do with it. I'm gonna come and take my stuff out of it And then you can have it and then you know they're for sure attempt to get if it sells for less than what they Say you owe them you pay the difference or at least they attempt to collect the difference. I should put it that way because there's not a chance that I paid that difference.
Starting point is 00:03:01 No way. Well, Paul might have to pay the difference just to make things right, depending on what the auction house or the tow yard paid for the car, what it costs to tow it. But you can get it. Go to copart.com and, you know, pick it up.
Starting point is 00:03:19 It's a 2021 Porsche, a little damage from a drunk driving accident. Not bad. It's worth $170,000 new without the damage. so you might be able to pick it up cheap. And that, my friends, is what makes America great. Welcome, one of the things that makes America great. Welcome to chewing the fat.
Starting point is 00:03:44 So Walmart has been ordered to pay $4.4 million in a racial profiling lawsuit. And most of the time during these racial profiling lawsuits, I feel like it wasn't racial profiling. But this appears to be exactly that. Michael Magnum, an Oregon man filed the lawsuit against Walmart after claiming an employee spied on him while he was shopping. The verdict was reached and they said, yeah, you know what? You owe them, you owe the man $4.4 million.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Oh, okay. So apparently, this Walmart loss prevention employee, Joe Williams, was watching Michael while he shopped at this pre-year. particular store. And then he asked Magnum to leave the store. But Magnum said, I haven't done anything wrong and I'm not going to leave. So the loss prevention employee calls the police and said, I have a customer who's refusing to leave. And according to Magnum's lawyer, Williams told Magnum that he's going to lie and tell police that you threaten to smash him in the face and he claims I never threatened him.
Starting point is 00:05:03 So Williams claimed he was walking by Magnum when he started flipping out on me. And that's a complete lie according to Magnum, which obviously the jury bought. And he wasn't intoxicated or impaired. When the deputies arrived on the scene, they didn't take any action against Magnum. They said, no, Homeboy, the loss prevention officer, had shifting explanations. and this is what hurt him. He had gained a reputation for making false reports to police. So it was all about his racial profiling.
Starting point is 00:05:42 And hey, why was he still on the job? And that's the question that has to be asking that cost Walmart, you know, $4.4 million. Walmart knew that the guy making false police reports and he'd been doing it and he still stayed on the job. Oh, okay. apparently there were reports that went all the way up to corporate headquarters and nothing happened. So he remained employed at Walmart following this incident and others.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Now, he was later terminated several months after this particular incident for mishandling $35 of Walmart property. Maybe that's what in Walmart's case should have been is that, look, we were trying to find a way to fire him. We couldn't do that just off the top of our property. head we had to you know we had to create a case now i find that you know weird but it's possible that that could have happened a lot of times companies have to start documenting uh what's wrong with an employee so that they can say hey you're fired and here's why so they you know had to wait they couldn't just fire them and so they waited until he mishandled thirty five dollars of walmart property okay now the lawsuit fell under this new organ law
Starting point is 00:06:59 allowing people to take action against someone who summons police with improper intent. Okay, I got to love that. So they gave the man $400,000 in non-economic damages and $4 million in punitive damages. So good for Magnum for standing up and fighting this because it does sound agonizing. There are plenty of times and plenty of racial. profiling cases that we talk about that aren't really racial profiling. It is a store, I'm sorry, a loss prevention employee actually, you know, watching customers so they don't steal. That's not profiling, that's watching customers.
Starting point is 00:07:46 But this actually was racial profiling. This guy obviously hated people, let alone just African-American people and was using his power, what power he had. as a loss prevention employee to kick people out of the stores and keep him out because he didn't like him. And that does not go over well. And it is agonizing for the real cases, which, you know, it turned into a real case. And good for him. Good for him. So Walmart, don't appeal it.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Nothing. Just, I know you're reviewing your options, but just give the man 4.4 million and walk away. Speaking of lawsuits, I see where Vanessa Bryant won her case in Los Angeles County, widow of Lakers star Kobe Bryant, and another man, Chris Chester. They won $31 million in damages for the graphic photos Sheriff's deputies and firefighters took at the scene of the 2020 helicopter crash that killed Kobe and his daughter and seven others. Just, you know, amazing.
Starting point is 00:08:58 So they argued elicit photos. of the crash victim's bodies had violated their right to privacy and inflicted emotional distress. Chester lost his wife and daughter. Wow. Amazing. Just so sad. And, you know, then you've got police department and fire department sharing their photos around from the crash. Just amazing. I don't know that it's worth $31 million, but that jury disagreed with me. The jurors awarded Brian $16 million. And Chester, $15 million for the distress that they had found, and the two had already suffered over the photos that would suffer still going forward.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Yeah, I mean, I don't know how you get through the day. You know, I don't know what kind of income Chester has, but Vanessa has a little bit of cash from Kobe. So $16 million is just making a point that this should not have happened. No question about that. I will say that looking at the pictures, and this is just, you know, chewing the fat, thinking out loud. You know, it's a sad story all around.
Starting point is 00:10:05 I got it, okay? But you saw Vanessa coming in and out of the courtroom. I will say that you can tell that Kobe is not with us anymore because it appears. And I know that she's sad and going through a rough time. It appears to me that Vanessa, you know, has, just a little bit. And I know, I got it.
Starting point is 00:10:35 I got it. I'm definitely, I know that. I got it. But, you know, it's, you can tell that Vanessa is not waiting for another ring from Kobe. But she got it with this courtroom verdict. That's for sure. And in other courtroom news out of Los Angeles, Harvey Weinstein, you know him, you love him. He's 70 now.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Has been granted the right to appeal his 2020 conviction for rape, for which he was sentenced to 23 years. The New York State of Appeals Chief Judge on Wednesday ruled that his appeal could proceed with oral arguments next year before the entire court. Weinstein's lawyer said that they were grateful for the decision. which he acknowledged the unique legal issues in the case. More than 80 women accused Harvey of sexual assault and harassment. He is currently in prison in Los Angeles, awaiting the October 11th trial on 11 more counts of rape and sexual assault. However, this particular case, the 2020 case in New York,
Starting point is 00:11:51 amazing because he lives to fight enough. other day. I mean, he has always insisted that his relations with the women were consensual and will now be granted appeal over the claims. Witnesses were allowed to testify about alleged abuse that did not form part of the charges against Weinstein. And they alleged that one juror did not disclose they'd previously written a book on sexual predators. Oh, I mean, that disqualified him from the case 100%. So we'll see. We'll see what happens. I mean, we all, everyone agrees, raise your hand. Everybody Einstein's a dirt bag. I got it.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I go, that's the disclaimer. But holy cow. Just, uh, just incredible. And by the way, for all your haters out there, he is still in prison. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh, that my friends is good. I mean, I know we're in the break room, but we might as well stay in California because there's some people that are in trouble for using way more water than they're supposed to. I know.
Starting point is 00:13:17 So, and one of them is Kim Kardashian. Ah, don't worry about it. So apparently, the municipal water district that she lives in, Las Virginis. She overused her exceeded budgeted water limit. Now, that's agonizing enough in and of itself, the water limit. But, you know, she's going to pay for it, so okay, fine. But she exceeded it by 232,000 gallons.
Starting point is 00:13:51 That's just 150% more than what she was supposed to use. since the drought was declared at the end of last year. So now they're talking about, yeah, you know what, we're probably going to have to put in a water flow restriction device. Oh, so if you start using way too much water, we're just going to shut you off. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Wow, thank you. We appreciate it. No problem. So apparently there's some other A-listers that are having a little issue with the restrictions. Water budgeted accounts. Her sister, of course, Courtney, went over the allotment by 101,000 gallons.
Starting point is 00:14:39 That's it, though. Now, Dwayne Wade and Gabriel Union were also issued a notice. They blamed their excess of 90,000 gallons in June and 489,000 gallons in May on a problem. with their pool. We've replaced all the parts in our pool system and to do with water flow and leakages and we've converted to synthetic grass and drought tolerant plants to reduce our water usage. We'll continue to work with the city and water distribution company to make sure this isn't an issue moving forward. Please, whatever you do, don't put one of those water flow restriction devices at my house. Okay, whatever you do. do that maybe out of the yard for the pool but uh new i don't know if you know this uh but uh you know
Starting point is 00:15:36 i spent about 18 million on the joint so i'm going to go ahead and use as much water as i can all right i guess uh stillone uh also uh is all wound up out there because he received a notice that he went over by a couple hundred thousand gallons to another two hundred thirty thousand gallons. Okay. So what is happening? Stallone is fighting it. He's got all kinds of trees. He's pissed. Plus, I will say, Sly is definitely in the news because they're going to get a divorce. Yeah, I know. Jennifer Flavin has filed for divorce from Sylvester. Now, this was after their big water usage in L.A. because he's got the place in Florida, too. I've got that brand new place in Florida that, you know, houses of the hoity tooty. that we've covered before. Awesome.
Starting point is 00:16:30 But Jennifer has had enough. It's been 25 years, and Sly is 76 now, and she handed him the divorce papers. And she has accused Sly of moving assets from their shared marital funds. So Sly might have been getting ready to kick her to the curb anyway. So he's just hiding money so that he can have to pay or less. Now, this was filed down in Florida. she has requested a sole domain over their home in Palm Beach
Starting point is 00:17:05 ahead of their divorce proceedings. Now, anytime someone gets a divorce, it's sad. There's no question about that, and it's not a fun process. We've talked about that before, definitely. The documents have read upon information and belief that the husband has engaged in intentional, dissipation, depletion and or waste of marital assets, which has an adverse economic impact on the marital estate.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Now, in Florida, equity dictates us the wife be compensated and made whole by receiving an unequal distribution of the marital assets in her favor. And maybe that's why Sly was moving some money around. He had enough. He was going to kick her to the curb 25 years. I've had some kids with you. I want to start dating some people a tad bit younger. And this is over.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Have a nice day. So he was moving some money around. So she beat him to the punch, which was probably a good move on her part. She's going to end up with a, you know, a nice little bank account. After 25 years with Sly, yeah, you're going to go ahead and make some money. Remember the phone? I had it in the show prep. I never talked about it because it didn't.
Starting point is 00:18:23 And I just was like, okay. They're mad at each other. Remember Sly posted a picture of him getting a new tattoo of a dog, his dog, over one of the wife's tattoos. And so that was kind of like his way of saying, yeah, we're done. Okay. Oh, okay. He claimed that it was botched.
Starting point is 00:18:52 And I wanted to cover it up with Butkus. Oh, okay, yeah, I love Butkus, you know, from the Rocky movies. I was going to give him a tattoo, you know, instead of my wife. Oh, it's unsatisfactory and unfixable. So I just covered it up with the dog. Uh-huh. Okay. All right, great.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Now, I think that she also stopped following Sly on social media, which, holy cow. In today's world, you can't do that, man. No way. I mean, they just had an anniversary. They did the, you know, the usual, you know, incredible and selfless woman. And she said, our marriage keeps getting better every year. I can't spend the rest of our, I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together, except I found out he's moving money and he's going to kick me to the curb,
Starting point is 00:19:41 so I'm going to file for divorce first. That kind of thing. I didn't know this either, which bodes to my argument of reality shows crushing families. The Stallones are busy. filming a reality show together which is supposed to be on Paramount Plus. I don't know if I, I feel like I didn't know about that. But, uh,
Starting point is 00:20:02 so they're in the middle of filming a reality show for Paramount Plus. Now, is this part of that? You know, is it just for the show? Or is it for real? Because there are very, very few families that make it through a reality show. Most families. Most families don't make it through.
Starting point is 00:20:24 a reality show. It feels like the right thing to do. It's a lot of money. It's fun. You have the cameras. You're in the limelight. But it is families break apart, man, when they do these reality shows. And again, this is what happens. So we'll see. We'll see. But, you know, the, I should have made who died today. Sylvester Stallone's marriage dead at the age of 25. which will probably be the age of his next wife. And speaking to new girlfriends, I see Pete Davidson looking like his BDE is back at work. It's been, you know, after the split with Kim, he's back on the market. Now, he's busy filming Meet Cute with Kaylee Cucco.
Starting point is 00:21:18 And they shared a TikTok clip of Pete saying he was having a hard time. rehearsing his lines he couldn't remember his lines okay and she showed up behind him in the video started dancing and you know lip-syncing along with lyrics of this Whitney Houston and then Kaigo's remix of higher love and Pete was laughing and it just looked like they were just a cute little couple so he's out the set with Kaylee and maybe Kaylee and Peter are taking care of a little BDE business on the set of Meet Cute. Kaley might be
Starting point is 00:22:00 meeting more than just cute. If you know what I'm saying. And fans are all about it. She's so into him. That makes more sense. That would be a fun couple. More chemistry between them in a matter of seconds than the whole nine months of Kim and Pete.
Starting point is 00:22:17 So no word yet on what happens. But it looks like looks like our boy Pete, and his BDE are back in business. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time.

Starting point is 00:23:09 concerned by your gambling or that if someone close you, call 18665331-2-6000 or visit comics ontario.ca. Okay, let's do a real. Who died today? Who died today? Len Dawson, Hall of Fame quarterback, award-winning broadcasting career, has passed away. He was 87 years of age. His wife Linda had his side with his family. Of course, he was a wonderful husband, father, brother, friend. I mean, he was the guy that, you know, was iconic of him smoking on the sidelines at halftime of the first Super Bowl. Awesome.
Starting point is 00:23:47 He's sitting in a card table chair with his bottle of fresca between his legs and smoking on a butt. That's a mayor. That's National Football League right there in my eyes. There's another picture of him same day before the game, smoking a cigarette in the locker room, just awesome. I mean, this guy was awesome. He was a great, you know, broadcaster, groundbreaking. He spent years on HBO, I think like 24 years, doing inside the NFL.
Starting point is 00:24:21 They started that back at 1977. Now, you have all kinds of shows like that now. No question. But that was groundbreaking then. And then it was just an hour show with NFL films highlights. There weren't any replay breakdowns or anything like that and was with Nick Monacani from the Miami Dolphins. Man, he was from the undefeated Miami Dolphins team.
Starting point is 00:24:47 We're doing football analysis, man. And in this story, My Sports Illustrated, I love this story. I was just talking about, they were just two animal players talking football and offering proof that Dawson was far more charismatic than wet liver. Apparently they didn't like his presentation on Sports Illustrated. I always liked Len Dawson, but I guess this guy didn't because saying that you're more charismatic than wet liver, doesn't necessarily boat a compliment in my eyes, but maybe it is.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Maybe it is. So, Len Dawson, more charismatic than wet liver, dead at 87 years of age. Okay, one more who died today. A 61-year-old rural postal carrier, and I am all about the postal service. I should be at least the Postmaster General, but I really want to be on the board of governors. I would turn this thing around.
Starting point is 00:25:54 But a rural postal carrier was fatally attacked by five dogs on Sunday afternoon. So it must have been, I guess we'll still deliver in mail on Sunday afternoon unless this 61-year-old mail carrier was running a little bit behind because it happened on Sunday afternoon in the Interlock and Lake Estate in Putnam County, which is right here if you're looking at the Florida map. And apparently deputies responded and found the woman on the ground, severe bleeding, the dogs were nearby inside a fence at a home.
Starting point is 00:26:29 So the dogs were inside a fence, which is really kind of strange, because they talk about how animals need to be taken care of responsibly, and the animals need to be in a secured location for the safety of those around. Well, they were inside a fence, according to this story. So witnesses told deputies they heard a woman scream for help, and then they went outside, saw her on the ground with five dogs attacking. Horrible. Witnesses said several neighbors rushed to help by attempting to pull.
Starting point is 00:27:02 the dogs off. One neighbor shot a rifle into the ground to scare the animals. Deputies arriving on the scene started first aid assistance and they rushed her to a hospital at the trauma center in Gainesville where she was in critical condition and then later died. Wow. Animal control arrived at the scene and took custody of the five dogs. Uh, okay. Uh, witnesses said, yeah, those are the dogs that attacked her but what happened i mean i guess she had broken down and was looking for some help i'm not sure why she the male postal worker was even there we will find out in the investigation but it appears as though the dogs are taking the heat so good good because if they can be attacking people humans first that's the motto here but it's humans first if if the animals do wrong but if the animals
Starting point is 00:28:05 are inside a fence and they're telling you hey don't come in here and you come in here that's tough to blame the human i mean it's tough to blame the dogs uh if the human that's a tough one so we'll see what the uh what the investigation uh brings so rest in peace rural postal carrier dead at 61 years of age. So the man with 475 some odd million followers on Instagram, Cristiano Ronaldo, the footballer, the soccer player, has a problem in his hometown in Portugal. They have a statue of him there. I mean, he's Ronaldo.
Starting point is 00:28:50 He's the man. But they have this statue up and people show up and take pictures with the statue. of Christiane Ronaldo. But apparently the statue is getting worn out in the, in the man part area, in the penis area, because the statue has, you know, his area protruding, and everyone takes a picture with them holding it. Or leaning up against it.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Because who doesn't want to grab Ronaldo's man part? And so it's getting all worn out. It's getting... So for the Pist, like, it's eight years old now. And the shiny is gone. The shiny is gone from the old man part. And people are getting a little disturbed. Maybe you ought to, you know, fix that up a little bit.
Starting point is 00:29:42 The well-rubbed area between his legs is starting to, you know, be a highlight. And so maybe we ought to take that together. I don't know what it means in the story. It talks about. Rinaldo not having much luck with statues over the years. So there must have been some other Rinaldo statue issues that I'm unaware of. But most of them get his features wrong. And this one is no different.
Starting point is 00:30:09 So I don't know if that means that the feature is too small or too big. I'm not sure. Looking at it from all the pictures, I would say that the hands appear to be too small. big and if that if the hands are that big then the shiny area in the midsection needs to be bigger but that's just me that's just me so if someone wants to help out the statue in Portugal on Ronaldo I need a little help in the old man part area oh and we're talking about sports I see where Jorkovic no that could Jorkovic
Starting point is 00:30:54 of it is not going to be able to play in the U.S. Open. Why? Because he's unvaccinated. Good! Keep him out of here! I mean, this is agonizing. Are you kidding me? He's not going to be able to play. One of the greatest tennis players
Starting point is 00:31:10 of all time. He's in pursuit of the all-time Grand Slam record. They're not going to let him play in the U.S. Open. Nope. Sorry. We're not going to lose in any restrictions. Oh, but I thought we were a loosening restrictions for unvaccinated Americans.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Yeah, we are, but not for foreign nationals. Sorry, you're unvaccinated? You can't come in the country. Wait, what? Yeah, sorry. Look, I don't care. You're number six in the country? So what?
Starting point is 00:31:41 You're not playing in Australia? So you're not playing in the United States either. Get the vaccine or don't play your sport. And so, no back is like, okay, well, I guess I'm out then because that is not happening. Wow. I mean, this is still going on and still unbelievable to me how this is, how this is still going on.
Starting point is 00:32:07 It's just amazing. And look, he's a tennis star, big deal. So he can't come into the country. And I know, oh, the big tennis star can't play tennis. But it's the, it's the point of being vaccinated and not being vaccinated. that's really the most agonizing. So good for him for sticking to his guns, man. And it's just sure we're loosening the restrictions, but not for you.
Starting point is 00:32:49 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. Handpicked the finest sweaters from the rest. Okay. Ashmir. Landed makeup palettes from the brands you love.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Rushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshalls. We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. All right, let's do a couple of headlines that you need to know. That'll get you through the rest of the week. Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Tomorrow on Friday, today is the 25th of August, 2022. For those of you listening, live, so the 26th of August Friday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell is going to have a major talk as part
Starting point is 00:33:42 of the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium. Man, does that sound like a place you want to be? Actually, it probably is a place you want to be. The Jackson A Whole Economic Symposium. It's an annual event. We're finance leaders across the globe, chat
Starting point is 00:33:58 about economic issues. And it's so easy to get to Jackson Hall, so they won't use up any of their credits. for flying privately into Jackson a hole. This is amazing. Not for me. For you is what the rules are. In Singapore, they're going to decriminalize sex between men.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Oh, interesting. Prime Minister Li Hussien-Lon said the country will repeal a colonial-era law that makes sex between men a criminal act. I believe this is. the right thing to do and something that Singaporeans will accept. LGBTQ advocacy groups applauded the repeal, which they'd long tried to accomplish via legal challenges. In addition to this move to decriminalize gay sex, Lee said Singapore's constitution will be amended to define marriage as between a man and a woman. So look, I'm going to
Starting point is 00:34:57 make it okay for you people to have sex. Okay. But marriage, no. That is not. happening. We're going to put in the Constitution that a marriage is between a man and a woman. So you guys can go ahead and do whatever you've got to do with each other, but you're not getting married. Not in this country, my friend. Not going to happen. Okay? I see where Dennis Rodman, former NBA player and world super stage and the world negotiator, said he's going to travel to Russia and get Brittany Griner out. Oh, okay. Great. Make that happen, Dennis. Now, the U.S. State Department has discouraged former NBA player Dennis Rodman from traveling to Russia.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Huh. I mean, you'd think that they'd want all the help they could get. You know what? If Dennis can go into Russia and talk to Vlad and, you know, hop on a plane and bring Brittany home, wouldn't that be great? Apparently not, though. Not in the eyes of the U.S. State Department. That's for sure. We have pox update, an Italian man. Look, we have, look, the pox outbreak right now in the U.S., we have 16,603 cases. Okay, so that's total in the United States. But we have an Italian man now, who's 36 years of age, who they claim, becomes the first person to simultaneously test positive for monkeypox, COVID, and HIV.
Starting point is 00:36:30 And that's something to be proud of right there. So, He's spent five days on holiday in Spain where he had unprotected sex. And he came home and now he's developed a series of symptoms. Fatigue, fever, sore throat, I'm sure some other sore parts. And the man who's not been identified, wow, he doesn't want people to know who he is, said he admitted to having unprotected sex with men while in Spain. All right, fine, be that way.
Starting point is 00:37:07 So that's worldwide. What are the numbers in Monkeypox worldwide? The global count of Monkeypox is now 45,535. Where's Spain at in the number count? I betcha Spain is probably up there ways. Spain. Yeah. Spain only has 6,284 cases of monkeypox.
Starting point is 00:37:41 So that's it, though. Is that number one? Is Spain the number one country? I think Spain is the number one country behind the United States. I mean, the United States is double that. Yeah, the United States is 16,000, like I said. And Spain is 6,000. That's number two in the world.
Starting point is 00:37:57 That's not interesting. Huh. Ha, ha, ha, ha. So congratulations to the Italian man. We know we have patience here. here in the U.S. who have tested positive for other sexually transmitted diseases and monkeypox. But all three with all three, you pulled it off. You got a good one. You got COVID. You got HIV and you got monkeypox. Good for you. Good for you.
Starting point is 00:38:27 I see if you were traveling, thinking about traveling to White Mills, Wake Water and Aquapy park and the sandwich Kent in the UK don't go turn around go ahead turn around right now it's closed they closed it down because 20 people including children well yeah
Starting point is 00:38:48 that's who goes to a water park became struck down with a mystery illness that left them vomiting oh okay yeah we're closing okay go ahead get out of here okay you want to get out of the pool blow your whistle and get
Starting point is 00:39:04 out of the pool. Okay, we're not, we're not going to reopen until we figure out what is making people sick and we've tested the water, we've sent it for testing, and we're going to get, we're going to get the reports back. So, you know, we don't understand what the problem could be. We get about 2,000 people every week and we're an open water lake, not chlorinated swimming pool. I don't know what's behind this. I don't know either. What could it be? So if you have high temperatures, vomiting after one of your visits to the water park, get checked. Okay?
Starting point is 00:39:42 Get checked. But if you're thinking about going to this water park, don't. Okay. It's closed. Water parks, man, I tell you, I'm becoming more and more against water parks. And I know I want to, look, if you don't want a water park, open it. Bless your heart. God bless you.
Starting point is 00:40:02 This is America. Make your money. you got to do, but keep your pools clean. And I know that's difficult to do because you can quote me on this, humans are dirty. I know that. Humans are dirty. And so, you know, pour some extra bleach in and do whatever you got to do,
