Starting point is 00:00:41 near Amsterdam is going to be the first city to ban meat advertisements for climate change. Yay! Now the counselors agreed to ban these ads back in November but officially notified
Starting point is 00:00:57 ad agencies this week Don't worry about those Dutch farmers protesting plans to cut the sector to meet emissions targets. Don't worry about the 95% of Dutch people that eat meat. Don't worry about the 20% that eat meat every day. They will become the first city, in fact, in the world to ban advertisements for most meat because of its impact on climate change. All right. news. They claim that this is going to outlaw advertisements for intensively farmed meat on public places like buses, shelters, and screens starting in 2024. The move was approved by the city
Starting point is 00:01:45 council back in November, as I said, but now everyone is aware. And in fact, the one counselor said, you know what, as far as I'm concerned, this includes ads for fast food change as well. So cheap meat from intensive farming is what we're looking to ban. They haven't decided yet whether they're going to outlaw
Starting point is 00:02:11 ads for organic meat. So right now we're just banning advertisements and we're making it more difficult for the farmers to raise the cattle that create the meat that we all
Starting point is 00:02:27 love to eat. But For right now, we're just banning the advertisements. We're not banning the actual meat. That, my friends, will be coming shortly. So just be ready, because it's coming to a city near you very soon. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So are you a victim?
Starting point is 00:02:54 Well, I guess it would be a victim of a quiet firing. I mean, I think we've all known people who have been a victim of quiet firing. You know, your boss is missing in action for much-needed conversations. Your boss assigns opportunities you wanted to other team members. Your boss can't provide clarity on why your coworkers are getting raises and promotions while you aren't. You're placed on an unreasonable performance improvement plan. your job expectations or workload changes without any input from you. So are you, is that a sign that you're, you know, quiet firing?
Starting point is 00:03:45 Yeah, I think it is. Yeah. I mean, for sure, if you start getting reviews like you didn't get before, that means your bosses are starting to document the paperwork that they need to kick you to the curb. No question. but, you know, as just, I guess do we call that, we're calling that quiet firing. I mean, for sure, I've seen that happen before.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I've seen promote to the level of incompetence. So you just give people promotions until they reach a job where they can't do it, and they'll either quit or you'll get them fired. That's because nobody had the guts to fire them when they didn't do their job before. Okay. And then I see a story about quiet quitting. Okay. I guess that's the new way for people to explain why they are not doing more than the bare minimum to stay employed.
Starting point is 00:04:45 We've all worked with employees like that for sure. You know, that's for sure. There's no doubt about that. You're still performing your duties. but you're no longer subscribing to the hustle culture. Yeah, I mean, I guess that's quiet quitting. I don't know that that's quiet quitting. I think that's just I'm going to do what the job entails.
Starting point is 00:05:14 And that's it. I don't have to do all that extra stuff. That extra stuff is for people that want to move ahead, and I don't, especially at this job because I don't like it. According to a survey in 2021, 27,000 U.S. workers of 27,000 workers, Gallup found that only 36% of people reported being engaged with their jobs, with the number of actively disengaged employees ticking upward since 2020.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Well, yeah, I mean, a lot of businesses want loyalty, but they don't give loyalty. That's an issue with a lot of businesses. They expect loyalty, but they don't give any loyalty in return. And if you want to keep that loyalty, you've got to give it in return. It's just me. I know, crazy. And, you know, you keep getting, especially the jobs that you're getting two and three percent
Starting point is 00:06:12 raises. Inflation is eight or nine percent. You know, you're not keeping up. So why are you working so hard? I'm just going to do the job that I'm supposed to do and not do the extra. Is that quiet quitting? I guess. I mean, I used to do it.
Starting point is 00:06:27 work with a guy. It's one of my favorite stories. That's kind of quiet quitting. I worked with a guy that would, he would come into the office, open his office, set, well,
Starting point is 00:06:40 what everyone thought was his phone on his desk, turn the little desk light on, and then he would leave, and he would go golfing. And he would be out golfing, and they would wonder, you know, where it was you could, and you'd call and leave a message,
Starting point is 00:06:52 and then he would be out on the golf course. And ever so often, he would out on the golf course he would call the phone that he left on his desk and so people would hear the phone ringing
Starting point is 00:07:04 so they figured he was in the building and then he would come back after his golf game and you know he'd do the bare minimum of his job and then that was good he always got his golf game in
Starting point is 00:07:21 always went wherever he wanted his plan was and it took me a little while to catch on to that. But I thought that was genius. Genius. You just leave that phone on the desk and make sure the ringer's on and he hits the golf course. And then ever so often you call it.
Starting point is 00:07:37 So you call that number. So it rings. People think you're in the building. You're just not at your desk. They're looking for you. Genius. Is that quiet quitting? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:50 That's kind of genius working, actually, in my book. But there's a lot of people. people that try to, you know, just do the bare minimum. I don't know that that's quiet quitting. I feel like that's just, I don't know that it's lazy. It's just you aren't going to do the little extra that it takes. And we all have worked with employees that say, I'm not going to do that. That's not my job.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Well, I know it's not your job, but it's part of, you know, to get your job 100% done and to get my job 100% done, that job needs to get done. Well, then you do it. Or, you know, get the person who's supposed to do it, do it. But I'm not going to do it. Is that quiet quitting? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:08:37 That's just doing your job, right? Without going that extra step. So when companies want people to go that extra step, they need to go that extra step toward you as well. And I think that's where we're getting into the problem now. They expect loyalty and give none in return. And that just can't happen. That just can't happen.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Otherwise, you're going to be looking for employees. And where are the employees? Every place I go. Everybody's got to help wanted signs up. Everywhere. What happened to the people? I mean, some people in my life, Brad Staggs, has made the case that what happened, and we've lost people.
Starting point is 00:09:23 We've lost people and we're not being. told because so many businesses have help wanted signs up and they can't find people it's not they're turning down people to work which I think some companies are but they these other places nobody's even applying and they're they're willing to pay you know whatever the whatever the going rate is 15 20 bucks an hour you know whatever the deal is they'll you know try to work with you on scheduling but nobody comes in to apply what happened to the people Is that quiet quitting? Maybe it is.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Maybe people are quiet quitting because they're just not out looking for work. That's possible, I guess. But if you are a victim of quiet firing, now that's when you need to wake up and start making your moves. When you start feeling like you're going to become a victim of that firing because things are working against you at work. start making your moves because it's coming. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Okay, at the time of this recording, at the time that I'm recording chewing the fat, the queen is not dead yet. Okay, the family is jetting into Ball Marl and to Scotland. They're all going to be there. They even claim that Harry and Megan are going to show up. That will be fun. uh that'll be real fun but the queen is not doing well the doctor is on staff she's been fading fast
Starting point is 00:11:11 as uh you know recently i know that uh chuck went to church without her the other day and she brought in both prime ministers the old one and the new one they went to see her she did not go back to london for that uh and so i mean they came to her so she's not doing well they're all flying in and then the whole family is gathered around Charles is in back just smiling sipping tea waiting for mom to finally kick it so he could be king something he's been waiting for since he was since he can remember since the world he was raised for this right and he never got it so pissed and William and Kate are like man okay no problem as long as dad doesn't keep it uh I'll be
Starting point is 00:11:59 and Kate's like, I'm going to be queen. Kate stayed back, the kids are in school. Yeah, you know, I'll be up there. Let me know when she dies. Okay. I'm not going to hang around with the whole family, just waiting for her to die. The kids got to go to school.
Starting point is 00:12:13 So anyway, you know, as, you know, I'm a fan of the royals, just because. But just so you know, you know, if, as far as right now, she's not dead. Now you can say your prayers for the queen. People are starting to show up at Ballmore. I have more concerned. They're all there.
Starting point is 00:12:33 I don't know where they're going to stay. It's going to be an awful crowded. Plus, this property actually belongs to the queen. It's private property. The other residences belong to the kingdom. This actually is property of the crown. And it could get crowded. It's only a 50,000 acre estate.
Starting point is 00:12:55 You know, look, it's a working estate. No problem. The castle is made from granite on the property. So it's 50,000 acres. It contains a variety of landscapes. There are seven hills of 3,000 feet. Yeah, okay, there are the hills of Scotland. The estate also incorporates about a 7,500 acre estate bought by Elizabeth in 1878.
Starting point is 00:13:24 So it's got another little adjoining estate. Maybe that's where. Maybe that's where Chuck and Camilla will stay. I'm sure they're all on high alert, though. I mean, according to this, they employ 50 full-time and 50 to 100 part-time staff to maintain the working estate. I'm sure those people are all on call and maybe even some more now that everyone is showing up. There are approximately 150 buildings on the estate, including Berkilla formerly home to Elizabeth. the Queen Mother.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Oh, well, that's used by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla. Then there's the Craigowan Lodge. That's a place where they send some of the guests. And then there's six smaller buildings
Starting point is 00:14:22 on the estate that are led as holiday cottages. Yeah, Harry and Megan are going to be lucky to be in one of the holiday cottages. you that. The lodge, the one, the Kregoran Lodge, is just a seven-bedroom
Starting point is 00:14:38 stone house. It's about a mile from Ball Marl. That's a rustic little thing. It's going to get a little crowded at the old Balmorrow Castle, but right now things, you know, everybody will be fine and sipping tea and just, you know, praying
Starting point is 00:14:56 if they pray at all, that the queen will be fine. Charlie will be praying in the other direction. I promise. I mean, I'll be nice and believe that he doesn't want his mom to die. But on the other hand, I mean, he's wanted her to die for a long time.
Starting point is 00:15:11 So that's a tough road for Chuck. I mean, one hand over here, you know, he doesn't want us, he's going to lose his mommy. But on this hand, he's like, go already. I want to be king. Sick of waiting. And so, and William is just like, I mean, dad, why don't you just become king?
Starting point is 00:15:29 And then say goodbye. and give it to me because nobody likes you you know that you're a douche nobody likes camilla i mean sure you love her but that's you know good for you and so why don't you just become king and then you know give me the crown and that way you could say hey you were king no problem but i felt like my son needed it more and then just give it to me and move aside It will be fun, though, that they're all on the same estate. It will be fun. Because you're going to have Charles there with the wife.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Cabella. Sorry, those are the rules of the show. You're going to have Andrew. Is he going to show up? I mean, he's on the outs, man. After the Jeffrey Epstein stuff, man, Andrew, they just want him to go away. But he's got to be there as much as his mom, right? And so they all are trying to, you know, they've got to be together.
Starting point is 00:16:28 and they're sad for mom. And then William and Kate, along with Harry and Megan, oh, man, it's going to be fun. It's going to be fun. So, I mean, I don't want the queen to die, but it's going to be fun to see them all together trying to pretend to be...
Starting point is 00:16:47 I mean, they're all... They all actually will be sad that mom and grandma and sister is going to die, but... Or has died. but being together with all the, with all their little idiosyncrasies, crimes and hatred for each other.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's just me. Did you see, I was looking at a TikTok video. I know. The other day, and it was about a family documenting their Universal Studios trip to Florida. And, you know, it was, went viral and they were all wound up,
Starting point is 00:17:30 had a million views or more. And they were talking about how much it costs. And I thought, well, you know, I've done stories about how they're all raising their prices and how expensive it is. And then, but when you see it in action, you think, I mean, how long can it last? So this couple from the United Kingdom, by the way,
Starting point is 00:17:48 and they're probably back home, you know, getting ready to mourn the queen, as a matter of fact, they went to Universal Studios and she, the mom, the lady, documented it on TikTok just how expensive it was. And she goes through their entire day at Universal Studio. Pretty incredible. She talks about one day at Universal Studios,
Starting point is 00:18:13 2179 for breakfast, which they picked up at Wendy's, I think, $27 in parking. Then they got a refillable drink for $19.16. And they bought some lunch at Universal, $62.79. And they bought one souvenir from Harry Potter's World, $42.60. A little bit later on the afternoon, they got ice creams for 1976.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Mom said she got a coffee for $4.25. Then they got dinner at a Burger King, 3639. And the tickets for Universal that day cost $483.66. They got bought fast passes because they, They had two kids and they didn't want to have to wait in line at all these rides because those, and not every ride gets the fast pass, by the way. But those, the fast passes cost $396. That's so for the total one day at Universal, $1,113.40.
Starting point is 00:19:15 One day. Wow. That's, when you see it in action, it's like, ooh, okay. Uh, you got it. Now there are a lot of people were saying, oh, hey, you could have, you could have, you could have gone to Portugal. Stayed in a villa for that.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Okay. So there was a survey done by the home rental firm, Home to Go. Who doesn't love Home to Go? And they found the most affordable theme park in the U.S. was Tropic Falls
Starting point is 00:19:48 at OWA in Alabama. Now, if you're coming from the United Kingdom, perhaps Universal Studios sounds better then. Come on, kids. We're going to go to Tropic Falls at OWA in Alabama. So if you're going to go to Tropic Falls
Starting point is 00:20:08 at OWA in Alabama, one adult gets you a 2249 for a ticket, 7267 a night for accommodations, parking was free. So you're good to go. Or maybe you just go to
Starting point is 00:20:25 Universal Studios. You know, the least affordable theme park on that list was Disney World's, Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, which is in Florida. So according to this, when they did the survey, you have to fork over $129 for admission, $25 for parking, $12680 for a nightly stay. And I think that's even, you know, gone up now. I mean, we used to, I lived in Florida, so, you know, When we would go to Universal or Disney World, we would stay outside of the kingdom,
Starting point is 00:20:59 but it's nice to stay inside the kingdom. You know, I've stayed inside the kingdom as well. And it's nice because then it's all-inclusive. But you're paying for it. You're paying for it. So, you know, you can fly to Turkey and stay at an all-inclusive hotel for the same amount of money or less. Or maybe you go to Portugal for a week at Rennavilla, which doesn't actually sound that bad. Giving a toss-up between Universal Studios and a villa in Portugal, we may be going to Portugal.

The plus expands to a 6.7 inch device from the standard 6.1 inch version. All right. Good news from iPhone. The new safety features, the new iPhone 14 allows users to contact emergency services using satellite towers when normal cell service isn't working.
Starting point is 00:23:09 I kind of like that. The new Apple Watch can alert family and emergency services when the user is in a car crash. And that's special. Find out we know where you're at all the time. And, okay, thanks. And they were touting the new AirPods as well. I'm sure those AirPods are not as good as Raycon.
Starting point is 00:23:34 who is a sponsor of this program, by the way, by Raycon.com slash Jeffie. Netflix was warned over immoral content. Seven Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia and Egypt, are threatening legal action against Netflix unless it removes material that violates Islamic and societal values and principles. They didn't highlight specific content, but local media reports suggested the concern was about LGBTQ plus themes and characters. Persian Gulf states have clashed with U.S. media companies over such content before,
Starting point is 00:24:09 like when they banned Pixar's late year from cinemas over a same-sex kiss. Disney was close to buying Twitter in 2016, according to former CEO Bob Iger. He said at the Code Conference, and no, I bet you that was riveting. He said that they pulled out due to various concerns, including finding out that a substantial portion of its users were fake. Where have we heard that before? So Elon, who was attempting to pull out a buying Twitter on an account of bots, replied, Interesting.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Elon's case is still going on in Delaware, and the judge refused yesterday to grant Musk's request to push the trial back four weeks, So that trial begins October 17th. Cineworld, we've talked about them getting ready to file for bankruptcy. They finally pulled the plug. So they are now filing for bankruptcy. They filed Chapter 11 in Texas yesterday. And I guess they were hoping for some kind of meme stock boost but didn't get it.
Starting point is 00:25:29 so they have now filed for bankruptcy. Another headline news that we actually had medical amputations carried out 31,000 years ago. The fine that predates what was formerly believed to be the earliest such operation by about 24,000 years. I think we've talked about that one before. The surgery of 24,000 years, they said that they found the,
Starting point is 00:25:57 the remains where there was surgery done. But these remains belong to a young hunter-gatherer buried in a remote cave on the Southeast Asian island of Borneo. The skeleton was missing the lower left leg and foot with the tibia and fibula showing a clean cut along with bony outgrowth similar to that scene in modern amputations. researchers have estimated the individual underwent the procedure between the ages of 10 and 14 and lived until the age of 20 before being buried. Very interesting.
Starting point is 00:26:40 It had previously been believed humans lacked the tools and medical knowledge to perform complicated medical procedures until the Neolithic Revolution roughly 12,000 years ago. So that's certainly things change. science and knowledge changes that's so weird how that happens things we thought we knew but aren't true so I mean how bad you think getting your leg amputated now is bad think about what it was 31,000 years ago all right I'm gonna take this stone and I'm gonna cut your leg off through your bone and we're gonna hopefully you know if you you're going to hop around on one leg and good luck, God bless.
Starting point is 00:27:30 He lived for another 10 years, so good for him. And speaking of things that change, a teacher made a rare find. She uncovered a mystery fossil that appears to be older than the first dinosaur. Yeah, so amazing how we now have animals that roamed, our species, that roamed the planet prior to
Starting point is 00:27:56 the dinosaurs. She said she was just walking along and stumbled upon a fossil. She said, I don't know what it is. Oh, okay. So they believe that it's around 300 million years old, a hundred million years before dinosaurs ruled the world. There aren't very many specimens from this period. So it is an incredible find, said geologists and paleontologists. John Calder. Yeah, no kidding. It's likely from the Carboniferous era, which occurred 80 million years before the first dinosaurs roamed. Okay, roamed the earth.
Starting point is 00:28:36 All right. This is early in the evolution of reptiles from amphibians, and they're branching out. Yeah. No kidding. So whatever the fossil is, it's been carefully removed and packaged, and the government of Prince Edward,
Starting point is 00:28:56 is set to send it to its next destination for further research. So I guess the lady gets to name it or claim that she found it. She gets nothing else for it. I don't know. Maybe give her, I don't know, a coupon to Wendy's or something. Maybe give her the coupon for the new beer pizza. I see there's a place in Iowa, I think, that was celebrating their new breakfast pizza. They're partnering with Bush Light to celebrate the ultimate beer, cheese pizza, breakfast pizza.
Starting point is 00:29:33 So they're going to be at the game. They're going to be at the big game this weekend. So look for it. It's topped with beer cheese sauce, ham sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, green peppers, onions, cheddar, and mozzarella cheese. It's turning – this company is turning 21 this month. So it's almost like our breakfast pizza. It's becoming an adult. So they're going to be at the Cyclones and Hawkeye game this weekend.
Starting point is 00:30:03 So, all right. Get your free samples. Not to the dinosaur bone lady, though. She gets nothing. 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. Well, who died today? Who died today?
Starting point is 00:30:48 Bernard Shaw, dead at 82 years of age. Bernard Shaw, the lead anchor at CNN for over 20 years. I mean, we all knew his name during the coverage of the Gulf War back at 1991 in the early 90s. I mean, Bernard was awesome. They confirmed his death that he died after complications from non-COVID-related pneumonia. They were sure to point that out, which I'm not sure why. But the complications from non-COVID-related pneumonia. CNN launched in 1980, and he was the Washington anchor when CNN launched.
Starting point is 00:31:37 And he was the lead anchor for 20 years. And he did presidential elections and Gulf War coverage. And he was a big part of making CNN what it is today. A different CNN from what it is today. That's for sure. But he was definitely there. He retired at the age of 60. Wow, that seems that's a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:32:03 In 2001, he retired at 60. Wow. He said he wanted to spend more time with his family and to write books. in today's world he could do that and do a show but he did a send off on air I mean Ted Turner showed up and they all he said that he hoped to be back on CNN from time to time
Starting point is 00:32:22 he said on his closing show I've teetered on the shoulders of giants trying to measure up awesome Bernard Shaw I know everyone misses him I saw you know tweets from all the CNN people funeral services for him
Starting point is 00:32:40 We're going to be closed, invited guest only and family. In lieu of flowers, the family said donations can be made to the Bernard Shaw Scholarship Fund at the University of Chicago and the family requests privacy. So Bernard Shaw, dead at the age of 82. Rest in peace. Now I see where one of our Who Died Today members. what you make, who died today, you remember, Gustav Arnell, the Bed Bath and Beyond leader, who jumped to his death or was pushed by the wife,
Starting point is 00:33:21 but they're saying suicide. So, I mean, I'm not accusing. I'm saying it's possible. They're saying now, yeah, he was, we thought he was overwhelmed. Man, he was under a lot of pressure, and the lawsuit, and people were he was going to have to lay off and close lay off workers and close stores.
Starting point is 00:33:41 So sure, we thought he was the man for the job. He previously worked as an executive for Avon and Walgreens and Procter and Gamble. But now, now that he jumped and is dead, he was, man, overwhelmed. So we're just trying to make it right. Are you? All right, Bedbath and Beyond. We got you. We got you.
Starting point is 00:34:05 And I think that we can all feel just a little bit safer today. All right? Just a little bit safer. Nigerian officials have intercepted 7,000 donkey penises at an international airport after the smell from the packages aroused suspicion. So we know that the 7,000 donkey penises weren't attached to donkeys. So I mean 7,000 donkeys, you know, you'd notice those. But apparently, you know, it's tough.
Starting point is 00:34:47 There were 16 sacks of donkey penises that were trying to be smuggled, attempting to be smuggled to Hong Kong at the Murtala-Mohamed Airport in the Nigerian city of Lagos. Sambo Dangalada Dimma The customs controller at the airport Dangalada Gadima He told the BBC That animal parts were found in sacks
Starting point is 00:35:15 In the animal export section They were being smuggled to Hong Kong And 16 sacks But customers Customs officers Said we intercepted the packages The smell was quite pungent Coming from the bags
Starting point is 00:35:30 Yeah between the penises and the donkey skin from Nigeria to China apparently smells. So they're saying that the 7,000 donkey penises and skin are worth an estimated 416,000 euros. Wow. I guess it's a big deal.
Starting point is 00:36:02 to use these parts in China in their traditional medicine spells I mean their traditional medicine and so they remember I feel like we we did another story where they had intercepted bags filled with donkey penises at the airport not 7,000 though
Starting point is 00:36:25 7,000 is a big number the pictures of oh yeah because we saw the pictures of original the original story back in, I don't know, a couple months ago, two or three months ago, where they had 3,000 pieces of donkey skin and penises. Oh, man. Nastyness. So the donkey dealers association of Nigeria.
Starting point is 00:36:52 And man, you do not want to mess with the donkey dealers association of Nigeria. They urged the Nigerian government to prosecute. those who engage in indiscriminate killing of donkeys and smuggling of their animal parts outside the country. Yeah, no kidding. We've invested millions into breeding donkeys,
Starting point is 00:37:16 but smugglers are sabotaging our efforts so the world cannot have enough donkeys, okay? And Nigeria, the donkey dealers association of Nigeria are doing their part, and they don't want any, indiscriminate killing of donkeys and smuggling of their parts outside the country. You know what? I feel like I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:37:41 I don't know that I care that they're actually breeding donkeys, but I feel like 7,000. So in the last few months, we've lost over 10,000 donkeys in Nigeria that we know of for their penises and their skin to go to China for traditional medicine. I mean like no. I mean like I'm okay with that being no. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:38:06 I don't know if I don't know if I've taken any vitamins or medicine shipped to the U.S. from China, made with donkey penises and or skin. It's possible. Tell me that you haven't. Tell me that you have it. That's what I thought. You can't.
Starting point is 00:38:25 And now all I can think about is the donkey penis and skin cartel. I mean, We've got the drug cartels. We're shipping stuff all over the world. And now we're smuggling donkey penises. The poor donkeys. Now I say that. And I, you know, now I don't feel so bad.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Because do I care that don't thinkies? I do kind of. I don't want to be on penis side. I kind of, I don't want to pretend I'm on peters side here because PETA is going to be, you know, all about this. There's no doubt. I do, I guess, want to say that I'm on the side of the donkey dealers association of Nigeria. I think I'm on their side. I'm on the donkey dealers association of Nigeria side that we can go ahead and stop the indiscriminate killing of donkeys and the smuggling of their animal parts outside the country,
Starting point is 00:39:26 which means they're breeding donkeys for their own use. stop sending donkey penises to China. Leave them in Nigeria where they belong. So no word on the queen yet. However, we did get breaking news that she has tested positive for COVID-19. So that's what the statement said. So she's experiencing mild, cold-like symptoms, but expect to continue light duties.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Yeah, so she's not even dying. She's receiving medical attention. Everybody's coming to Balmoral. They're all racing in, and she's still going to be alive. It's just COVID-19. She's not really dying. They're going to be pissed. They're going to be pissed.
Starting point is 00:40:05 The whole royal family's together out there at Balmoral, looking at each other, hating on each other. And they're just going to say, she's got COVID-19. Maybe Williams makes sure Charles goes in. It'll make sure dad, you know, maybe catches a little COVID-19, gets a harder version.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Just, you know, let's get this thing underway. Both of them can drop and I can take over. Now, Oh, stop, Jeff. That's just mean. We are getting news now that Queen Elizabeth the second has passed away. Very sad.
