Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to it. What is to it? I like chewing the fat. With yours truly Jeff Fisher, thank you so much for coming along for the ride today. I just want to say, I want to start out with one little thing. It's just a little observation I had today.
Starting point is 00:00:15 And it hurts me. It hurts me to say this. Glenn Beck is right. I know. I know. He claims that we're down the road to socialism. He's right. This morning, I went into a Walgreens pharmacy.
Starting point is 00:00:38 I walked up to the cooler. Now, sure, the refrigeration was still on. Sure, there were things on other shelves, but there was no Coca-Cola Zero in the cooler. Are we in Venezuela now? Is that what's happened? I don't know how people do it. I don't know how they do it.
Starting point is 00:01:02 It's tough for me to. I came in today thinking I'm not going to talk any royals. Not going to talk any rules. My God, I'm tired of talking to the royals. I really am. I'm tired of talking to the Royals. But, I mean, there are news is everywhere. Every time I turn around, there's another story about Megan and Harry and the Royal.
Starting point is 00:01:39 I know. I see. If you play the soundtrack music, you have to talk about it. It's a must. It's like a law. It's a podcast law. So apparently, you know, we talked a little bit about the CNN getting in trouble yesterday, you know, making questioning, making some error in judgment about the child. No, not.
Starting point is 00:02:02 No, no, nothing. Charlie and the horse face don't have a baby. We're talking about the child of Megan and Harry because Megan is, does have some African American blood. And so people were questioning on CNN. whether the baby was going to be black. That's what CNN said. Ain't nobody got time for that? Thank you.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Now, we brought that situation up here on chewing the fat a while ago in our royal coverage. It's bloodline. I mean, we have the question about that. Well, the BBC just fired one of their disc jockeys. And they call them a DJ. The BBC has a little funny way of looking at a DJ. It might be like BBC 5. I don't know how they, you know, they've shut down all their towers.
Starting point is 00:02:45 So it's just internet. and it's like BBC.com 7. I don't know how they do it, but he does one show a week. So if he's living off one show a week on the BBC, BBC call me. Call me. I will knock a show a week out for you,
Starting point is 00:03:08 the best show you've ever heard from an American. 888-903.33. You can email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You can DM me at my Twitter account at Jeffrey JFR. You can message me on Facebook or Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. Call me. Message me. We'll work something out if you can live on one show a week from the BBC.
Starting point is 00:03:31 So this particular DJ posted a picture of the Royals, Megan and Harry. He posted an image of the couple holding hands. with a chippanzee saying royal baby leaves hospital. How in the world can anyone post something like that in today's world and think that it's okay? I mean, it just isn't. It just isn't. Now, the DJ said, oh, I was just, you know, it was fun. It was a gag.
Starting point is 00:04:11 It was supposed to be about the royals and circus animals and posh clothes, but it was interpret. Thank you. But it was interpreted as about monkeys and rays. Uh, yeah, because that's what it was. We're not sure what the chimpanzee sounded like. I mean, we know that that is not a chimpanzee. That is an orangutan. He did not post a picture of Megan and Harry with an orangutan dressed up saying the royals leave with the royal baby.
Starting point is 00:04:48 So that's just, how do you post that and not think? Not think. You have to, look, I don't care what the excuse was, what he said the excuse was. You have to be over the line racist to do that. No question. He deserved to be fired. That's ridiculous. Ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Especially on the BBC. Right. Make any sense. I can't talk anymore where else because I could go on. There's a few other stories I saw too, and we have covered them. there's no other show except maybe one on the BBC that's covered the Royals
Starting point is 00:05:23 more and better, I'll tell you that. So, in your neighborhood, you had every house, just think of your street, whatever road you're living on, the house is on your street. Close your eyes.
Starting point is 00:05:43 If you're driving, just slow down a little bit and close your eyes and then open them back up real quick. Don't swerve, just go straight. Okay, open them back up. Geez, not so long. You don't know what's going to happen in front of you.
Starting point is 00:05:54 You travel in it, you know, high rate of speed. That's what you need a camera in your car. They could watch for you. It's still. Or just buy a Tesla. See, you don't get that. That still doesn't leave you with just hands off, go, take me home. Yes, it does.
Starting point is 00:06:09 I'm ready for that so much. Have you seen that on the stupid highway? Because me and you share the same highway to go home. One day I'm looking at this guy. He is not touching the wheel. He is working. He's hard out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:20 That's pretty cool. Yeah, it is. I mean, you still have to kind of pay attention, though. See, until we get to the point where I don't have to pay attention. But see, when you tell them, close your eyes, when we do it, you know, the close your eyes segments, that's long enough for a Tesla to guide you, you know, a couple of seconds. No question. Yeah, that's excellent point.
Starting point is 00:06:39 And some of the newer models, if you're driving some of the newer models, you know, and you're listening to us on Spotify, you have an opportunity to go hands-free. And so, and it'll warn you of some. Something is happening around you. So jerk you off. Yeah, you know, wait a couple. I didn't realize the new cars were that good. See, stop.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Just keep going. Just keep going. No, keep going. I need to drink a Coca-Cola. I'm sorry. No, we're not in the, no, you can't do that. I'm just taking a sip. So in the break room now.
Starting point is 00:07:13 No, no, we're not. I just needed to clear my throat a little bit. Because I have not seen the ad for those new cars that provided that service. saying. We're out there. Anyway, in your neighborhood, in your neighborhood, all the electronics that you have,
Starting point is 00:07:33 your televisions, your radios, your phones, your garage door openers, everything. So there was a neighborhood in Ohio that for quite some time we're having problems on locking their cars, getting into their garage.
Starting point is 00:07:50 They couldn't figure out why all this stuff was screwing up. And they figured, hey, the NASA Glenn Research Center is nearby, that neighborhood. That might have something to do with it. So, you know, they went over. Hey, NASA, we're having problems. Our garage door won't open. What are you doing over here?
Starting point is 00:08:10 Nothing. Hello? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But no, it says NASA research center. NASA who? No NASA here. So they don't know what they're trying to do. So they're trying to figure it out.
Starting point is 00:08:25 And they send some people out to the neighborhood. And they try to figure it out that people are walking around the neighborhood with signal detectors. You know, it looked like the old, we're looking for a radiation. Everybody's got their little metal detectors. And they're not sure what's going on. So they finally realized, oh, hey. Hello. Apparently, a guy in the neighborhood was working in his basement.
Starting point is 00:08:59 And he was building his own little thing that had 350 megahertz signal out of the basement. And every time he turned it on, which was like all the time for the past week, it screwed up everything. Right. He's ready. We need to go to his house. Right. Now, he's a special needs neighborhood. The guy with special needs in the neighborhood, so of course, I mean, we can't identify him.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Protect his privacy. Is he a minor? So he had no idea. Of course he didn't. Okay. Stop. No, don't do that. He didn't know.
Starting point is 00:09:43 He didn't know. He's special. He didn't know. Okay. Okay. Don't do that. What are you doing? Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Listen, I'm just saying to this. been solved. It's been solved and he realizes now. You think that he was like, it doesn't say, it doesn't say whether he's continuing like if he, if he calls the neighbors and say, hey, I'm about to turn it on. I'm firing it up. You know, with the house, well, he needs an air sign. So every time he's about to turn it on, gives him 26 seconds of, all right, guys, make sure you open the garage. Hey, make sure you DVR. Oh, no, we can't DVR because it's not working. Hey, I got to leave. I got to leave. You turn that thing down. I got to open my garage. door. All right. I got to go to work.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Who? No, I don't know your name because your special needs and nobody could tell your name. No, special needs here. No, no special needs here. No. This is so bad. I just don't believe that he didn't know. You're working on something like that. But they didn't say he's special. So he doesn't know. He doesn't have special needs. Exactly. So he's special. So he doesn't have what we have, which is the common sense. Like, hey, if I turn this this button on, You know, the whole country just shuts down.
Starting point is 00:10:56 He doesn't know that. Oh, it's just the neighborhood. That too. But if he makes it a little bit bigger, he could, you know, make that range wider. No word whether he's going to sell his magical project or not. Oh, he better sell to the freaking army. Oh, Tesla should pull up right now. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Elon Musk needs to come up and say, what do you got, dude? No, no, Elon Musk here. So we are in the wrong business, not because of that, But because I didn't realize that, you know, we keep hearing about how bees and they were losing bees. Yeah, yesterday we went into the bee joke. All right. Yeah. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Thank you. I mean, everybody was a joke again? Jules of the judge. I don't know. I know the punchline. Well, that was bees create milk. No, which one, which bee. No, wait.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Which be. What's your joke? What is it? Is it? Jules, the joke of the day. Yeah. What bees do you milk? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:49 What bees do you milk? Right, right, right. Oh, no, sorry. You don't milk bees. What bees make milk? What bees make milk? Be tough to milk a bee, though. But there's another million dollar idea.
Starting point is 00:12:01 I'm just thinking about developing a product as all. To milk bees. Come on, man. But we already know that you can get them from boo bees. Boobies. So anyway, I didn't realize that honeybees are being rustled. What is that? Be rustling.
Starting point is 00:12:19 People are stealing bees. For them to wrestle? Dude. So first we got, so we got cock fighting, we got dog fighting, now we got bee fighting? No, no, no. They're taking them to other farms. We're taking them to other farms. They're not fighting bees, no.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Damn it. Because we have zoo wars already. We do have zoo wars already. That's already in development. So we need to add a bee wrestling. Be wrestling. Now this is bee rustling. Rustling.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Ruthering. I was ready to put more. money and that bee wrestling, bro. Well, but I don't think, think bee wrestling, well, how much, what are you getting for bees, right? One heist, valued over a million bucks. Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Okay. No wonder, Cam, dude, you know Cam is on the bee business now, right? Good for him. Good for him. This one guy, a second generation almond farmer, and almonds take a huge amount of water, and they need all kinds of bees. They rent hives.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Wow. All right, when it's that time of year. Yeah. To rebutters, they rent the hives and they have the hives come in so the bees are pollinating. Yeah. Yeah. So the, it's now, it used to be 180 to 200 bucks. And it's going up now for a two hives an acre.
Starting point is 00:13:36 So this farmer is going to spend $500,000 this year on bee rentals. Wow. So it talks about, one of the things that I like about this is it talks about, well, it's bee rustlers also. also need to know how to mollify and transport bees without killing the colonies. No, they don't. No, they don't. By the way. You need one guy. You need one guy back at the ranch that knows all that.
Starting point is 00:14:02 By the people that are taking the bees, you put a white suit on, you throw the bees in the back of the truck and you drive away. You don't have to have a special mollifying. Yes, you do. That's how you raise the price. You're idiot. I have a PhD on bee. Biology. Yeah, biology.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Biologist. You're a biologist. Yeah, I'm a biologist. By the way, you try to milk a freaking bee, try to milk an almond. That's even more difficult. I see a lot of almond milk. I do too. So, like, now that is the right business.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Yeah. Yeah, it is. I don't know that we don't see bee milk anywhere, though. You will soon. What the hell I just told you? It's a million-dollar idea. So the other day, we talked about the study about people changing their underwear and how many times they change their underwear, you know, in percentages.
Starting point is 00:15:04 And so I went back and I found the entire thing, the health and hygiene confessions, America's filthiest cities revealed. And this is from Quality Logo Products. San Francisco. And it goes into, it's a hygiene report card for 25 cities is where this, you know, the underwear thing came in. But we have 50 states. They surveyed 2,700 U.S. residents. So, I mean, it's a pretty good sample, but, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:33 and they asked how often residents shower a bay, how often they brush your teeth, change your bed sheets, change their shirts and underwear, how often they clean their homes, specifically scrubbing toilets and mopping floors, how often they wash their hands after using the toilet. When you hear the numbers of how often they wash their hands after using the toilet, we have to do something in America.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Something has to happen. All right. Now, you know the showering and the underwear one that we talked about the other day. Where do people, let's see, wash their sheets, people wash their sheets, how people change their underwear. We went through that. Here we go. Where are people most likely to wash their hands after using the toilet? Charlotte, North Carolina, Atlanta, Georgia, New Orleans, Louisiana, Miami, Pittsburgh.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Top five. all right this is a little disheartening to me personally where are the people least likely to wash their hands after using the toilet coming in at number one Washington, D.C. So your government officials are not washing their hands at all.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Houston, Texas. This is in the state of Texas which is a little bothering. Las Vegas, Nevada. Ooh, a little dangerous. Don't be touching the, don't want to start touching buttons. on the machines in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:16:57 New York, New York. Nobody in New York is washing their hands after using the toilet. That's a little frightening. Don't touch things in the cabs. And number five, Dallas Fort Worth. I am a little concerned. A, we've got two cities in Texas, Houston and Dallas. And I live in one of the metroplexes.
Starting point is 00:17:20 And I promise you, with all of my heart and soul, I am not one of the people who don't wash their hands. Oh, man, that's a little frightening. Okay, so where are people most germophobic? Miami, San Francisco, New York, New Orleans, Washington, D.C. That's a little strange because most people are most germophobic. Top five is Washington, D.C., yet that's number one in where they don't wash their hands after using the toilet. How is that possible?
Starting point is 00:17:49 Seems to be that perhaps this poll, the survey is a little skewed. little skewed We go on to If they call in sick for the flu Most likely call in sick Who calls in, who doesn't Goes on a fascinating study I'll tweet this out at Jeffie
Starting point is 00:18:05 JFR They break it down To the 2732 people That they pulled The median household income Was 50,000 to 75,000 a year And For the 31% of respondents
Starting point is 00:18:21 earning more than and 44% earning less of the survey. It's just fascinating how they do that. And they ask here, under their little fair use at the end, if you're a journalist or a blogger, interested in covering the project, feel free to use any of the images or graphics above. All we ask is that you kindly credit quality logo products
Starting point is 00:18:39 and link back to this page so your readers can learn more about the study and its methodology. Yeah, no, I'm not doing that. All right, let's go to the break room. I need a drink of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar anyway. I know I had one earlier, but I need another way. now desperately. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:19:15 I swear to you. So good. And one would have been so good at Walgreens today except Dallas. We're Venezuela now. Here at the Metroplex, we are. We're Venezuela. Yeah. This is that clear.
Starting point is 00:19:23 So yesterday we started a new segment that we'll see how long it lasts. I don't have any. I'm sorry. I don't have faith in this segment, but go ahead. It's a, you know, the joke of the day. No, it's not the title of this shit. The joke of the day, but the title that we're using and the working title. Working title.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Yes, that's better. What is it again? Jokes by Jules. So, Jules, hi. Hello. How you doing? I'm doing pretty well. How are you?
Starting point is 00:19:52 Good, good, good, good. So you're bringing us a joke each day, right? Yes, too, actually, today. Just like yesterday. Yesterday I asked for the second one because the first one was, you know, a little short. I wanted to maybe, have you worked on something that I have you worked on something that have, you know, maybe a little build-up joke or are they all one-liners?
Starting point is 00:20:11 These are one-liners, yeah. Yeah, okay. I want to just work too hard writing jokes. Yeah, not yet. All right, so what's this thing called again? Jokes by Jules, that's right. Yeah, oh, we have the room shot. All right, joke one.
Starting point is 00:20:28 I mean, hey, Jules, how are you doing? You got a joke for us today? I do have a joke. Go ahead. All righty. What did? Why am I setting this up like this? I just don't know a joke.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Are you going to interrupt my jokes? I'm thinking about it. Obviously. Might be funnier than the joke. Go ahead. I highly doubt that. All right. What did the egg say when it was turning up?
Starting point is 00:20:49 What did the egg say when it was turning up? I don't know. What did the egg say when it was turning up? Umlet. Oh, can't hold it. That's so funny. Go on. That's a little funny.
Starting point is 00:21:11 I know freaking over here. He's a handicap door. I was freaking laughing her ass off. Because it's for little kids. All right. A joke number two. Jules by Jules. Jules by Jules.
Starting point is 00:21:23 By Jules. Jules. Jules. Jules. Whatever we're calling this thing. Okay, this is another kid joke. Whose idea was this anyway? Yours.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Oh yeah. That's right. Go ahead. Cheese. Okay. Why did the banana go to the doctor? Why did the banana? go to the doctor.
Starting point is 00:21:42 I don't know why did the banana go to the doctor. Well, Jeffrey, he just wasn't peeling very well. Yulch by Jules. On chewing the fat, the only joke of the day. Take that with you on this fine afternoon, evening or morning, whenever you're listening to this great broadcast called chewing the fat. Just like the good old stump brain used to say on his podcast, you said three times and it's yours.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Remember that? I mean, that's a... Oh, is that a thing? Oh, I thought it was his thing. Never mind then. I'll take that back. Wow. You said three times and it's yours.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Jokes by Jules. Jokes. So it's mine now, right? Or yours. Whatever. All right. I'm still thinking about the first joke. I really like the first joke, but I don't want to give her credit that it was funny.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Which are the eggs? The eggs. I'm lit. Yeah. I'm lit. Because you have to say, like, I'm lit. Like, I'm lit. Oh, yeah. Amelette.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Does it say it like that? Or did I miss a joke? All right. So this is kind of a thing with me. I'm tired of hearing the schools getting in trouble for either A, not serving kids lunch when they owe money at the lunch counter or B saying, look, you owe us money. So if you're not going to pay us, this is all you're getting. We'll feed you.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Of course, we have to feed you. No, you don't. That's, no, you don't. That's the wrong thinking. That's my point. They have to feed them. No, they don't. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:23:34 You are just as bad as them. I already turn off my mic. It doesn't sound like it. Anyway, students in Rhode Island are now going to get, jelly sandwiches until the dead is paid. Okay? Well, that's what they did for when I was in school. I was going to ask you when you were, if you remember,
Starting point is 00:23:53 and not because you're old, but if you remember, what did they give to the, or did they even charge you guys for meals? Well, yes, but we did bring our own lunches. Okay, okay. It was bring your lunch. And if you don't bring your lunch, that's it?
Starting point is 00:24:09 You don't have any lunch. Really? Life is tough. And you go around, maybe you sit down and go, yeah, I didn't bring anything today. And somebody tosses you a cupcake or an apple or something. You go, here you go. Really? But, okay, so in today's world, they have, you know, we've got to the point where you have to serve breakfast and lunch and dinner and a snack at bedtime and the whole damn thing.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Some of them will still do it during the summer. Right. They'll leave the school open just to feed those kids. Agonizing. So what are the children going to do? I don't know, get fed by their parents. I'll agree on that. I digress.
Starting point is 00:24:49 So, because I remember, my two youngest kids, well, my youngest child has never been to a real school. I was going to say she's never been to a real school. Max has, Max was in regular school for a short period of time, you know, a few years.
Starting point is 00:25:09 My oldest son was in public and private his whole life. On and off. Yeah, it was all life. And I remember being, you know, him having a note in the backpack saying, you know, where's a check? You know, it's money at the line scounder. You know, you go in and you pay it or, you know, you pay it when you drop them off.
Starting point is 00:25:28 And, you know, something like that. And there's, I couldn't get anything today. All the guy was a jelly sandwich. And it's okay. Which it was normal. Because when I was going to. It was no big deal. I couldn't.
Starting point is 00:25:37 She wouldn't give me anything. She, I couldn't get my lunch today. But I got. this. Yeah. I couldn't get, like she couldn't get, or Alice couldn't get the, chicken sandwich. Whatever it was, whatever the heck it was that they were serving.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Yeah. He couldn't get it because they owed money. Yeah. And now usually what would happen because I actually paid, the lady would go, hey, yobie. This is going on your credit. You tell your daddy, your mom to get in here and pay the bill. Here's your lunch. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Okay. So if your kid wanted lunch tomorrow, they would tell you to go in and pay the bill. I don't know. I don't know why it's so difficult. I don't get it either. Why is it so difficult to say, why is that so wrong to tell the kid, hey, your parents or parent or grandma or wherever you live with, somebody needs to pay some money. Absolutely. And you owe money now.
Starting point is 00:26:31 You owe money. So when you come through the line, you better have something. If you don't have, if this isn't paid for, all you're getting is a jelly sandwich. Have a nice day. I don't see what's wrong with that. I don't either. Apparently what the problem is is that now the children who are getting jelly sandwiches feel bad. They're being poor shamed?
Starting point is 00:26:51 They're being poor shamed. You've got to be effing kidding me. It's a school lunch. Wow. See. Now I'm on the other side. I just join your wagon and now I'm on the wrong side. I'm just making fun of you because you were on the other side.
Starting point is 00:27:09 I was. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. the wrong side. The right side is to I mean we have to you have to be able to let these kids somebody's got to pay I mean they're going broke we will
Starting point is 00:27:21 we will be in Venezuela we will somebody has to pay something it's just all can't be free unlike many people I don't want we can get into politics no we won't look around but one one thing in Puerto Rico and
Starting point is 00:27:38 I always thought it was like this and it was a culture shock when I came to the United States in middle school in Puerto Rico they feed you free meals breakfast and lunch and I'm talking about like at school at school okay breakfast was either a bowl of um fruit pancakes or oatmeal like I love the oatmeal for lunch dude it was a banquet rice and beans with pork chops or rice and beans with chicken. So it was rice, beans, some kind of protein or chicken, and it's a glass of milk, chocolate milk, or strawberry milk.
Starting point is 00:28:18 And then when I came into the United States, I'm like, I have to pay for this? Like a month in, like, the school lunch later goes, you know you owe money. What do you mean I owe money? You have to pay for this? I'm like, no, I don't. Like, yeah. And I was like, all I'm getting is a stupid chicken sandwich or a pizza. And I have to pay for this?
Starting point is 00:28:39 I was getting freaking rice and beans and pork chops. And you know what? On behalf of the lunch lady of the cafeteria line, go back there then. I don't even remember. You know, I was thinking I was going to end that segment on the cafeteria, but then I got to thinking about at one point in my life, one of the schools that I was in 100 years ago. the cafeteria had a frosty machine. Yeah, but frosty just came out in the 1900. It was so, oh, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:21 this had the original frosty. Oh, the original. Oh, wow. What flavor? Chocolate. What, does frosty only come in chocolate? It doesn't now, but it did in the beginning. So that's the real original.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Yes. Nice. I don't even remember if we had to pay for it. I was going to ask you, how much was that? I don't even remember. Five cents. Yeah, it was pretty cool. 25.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I don't even remember. 25 cents. Whatever it was. We got it for a penny. It was a, we got it, we got it for a gold nugget. I don't even remember. Ooh. How much is that frosty worth now?
Starting point is 00:29:55 A gold nugget? Right. With inflation? But I definitely didn't ever miss class and just go up into the cafeteria and eat frosties for an hour. Of course now. I mean, that would just be. Wrong. You know, at one point we told you about, as long as we're in the break room, we told you
Starting point is 00:30:10 about Tumblr, struggling. and giving up their adult platform. Horrible. Which we thought was a horrible idea at the time. We thought it was done what they were trying to be nice. And then we realized that that was because Verizon had bought them. So Verizon buys it as Tumblr under their heading. And now they want to clean it up in quotation marks.
Starting point is 00:30:35 So, you know, they're making like zip now. I mean, struggling. Who would have thunking? Thank you. Did they not call freaking Playboy? Thank you. So now, well, they should have, or they should have at least said, hey, Pornhub, want to buy it?
Starting point is 00:30:50 Absolutely. Because Pornhub is like, we're extremely interested in purchasing Tumblr. And the main reason would be, I don't know, to restore the not safe for work edge of Tumblr. Here we go. And that's what I'm talking about. So be prepared for that. It's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:31:06 If any of your teens have Tumblr app on their phone in the near future, be prepared for Pornhub to be running Tumblr. I never understood why Tumblr never took off. Because I don't know if you have the numbers there. They're strong. I don't. They have strong numbers. They have strong numbers.
Starting point is 00:31:24 I just never understood why Tumblr never took off like a Twitter or a Facebook. Because the cool thing about Tumblr has the same feature as a Facebook, has the same features as a Twitter. It's just more of a long form. You know, instead of, and it looks better. For me, I liked it because it looked better. Plus, that's where, you know, porn started mate got discovered. Right. Pornhub, X-hamster, you know, X-X videos.
Starting point is 00:31:51 So it started out Tumblr's ownership history. Let's see. It was first it was purchased by Yahoo. Yep. Yahoo owned it. For $1.1 billion. That's a good app right there. Yep.
Starting point is 00:32:03 I always had to create a Tumblr. So then it was down, they didn't know what to do with it, so it's down to $230 million. No, that's the thing. No one knows what to do with it. Then it goes, right. It's so weird. It's a social media page. What do you mean you don't know what to do with it?
Starting point is 00:32:19 So Porn Hub is going to take it out. Absolutely. Pornhub. And watch this. The porn industry will make it a social media. Or it should be. Tumblr should be on the same level as a Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram and all these social media.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Because it has a good interface, very user-friendly. Plus, it's being used to, I don't know. know make porn stars where there are today. Like, it's a really good app. It would be, uh, it would be even better. I mean, I would, I wouldn't ever look at it. Absolutely not. No, I don't recommend watching it.
Starting point is 00:32:53 If you were, if you were, say, a person who would like that stuff, frequent porn hub. Yep. Tumblr seems that it would be a, a fine app to be a part of that community. As long as we're on apps and different things that's happened, I see a story where Roku has 29.1 million active viewers right now. Okay. 20,
Starting point is 00:33:22 and Roku is a good, if you don't have a smart TV, Roku does it all, right? Right. And it's a neutral player. I mean, it doesn't matter to them. Any app as long as you,
Starting point is 00:33:34 you know, come on. As long as you send it to Roku, they'll put you up on the platform. Yeah. Yep. So it says that it grossed 100 million, 100.9 million last year.
Starting point is 00:33:44 For how many users? 29.1 million. Yeah, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. They still lost 10 million. Oh. And they're saying so. And those are the companies that will make it.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Roku's like, so. Look at Netflix. Because next year, we plan on being way ahead of that. Look at Netflix. What did Netflix do? They throw money. They came out. They lost.
Starting point is 00:34:06 And they're like, okay, so what? We lost. They're banking on next year. They're saying it's going to be a banner year. We're not even worried about it. We're going to have the new Disney and Apple. apps joining us. Oh, we're good.
Starting point is 00:34:19 So Apple is allowing that? According to this, the story said yes. That could hurt Apple though. TV platform in the country given the forthcoming streaming services from Disney and Apple, ooh, no, it doesn't say they're going to be on Roku. It says that it's in the story
Starting point is 00:34:35 here. It talks about the story is saying that it would be the largest smart TV platform in the country. And then then it goes on to say given the forthcoming streaming services of the two Disney and Apple, having a box that will run every service without exception. But it doesn't actually say that Apple is going on Roku.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Yeah, because like... I can see Disney on there where you write about the Apple. Because there's a thing. If Apple does that. Because Apple wants Apple TV. Exactly. Yeah. If we're getting Apple TV, it's like $250.
Starting point is 00:35:05 So you get a Roku stick, it's like $50. Yeah, you get a Roku stick for $30. Yeah. You get the big box and still for $50 or whatever. Exactly. And that big box in Apple TV is $250. $50. So if they allow Apple TV Plus on Roku, that's a major loss.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Yeah, it sure is. So Apple will not be on Roku. Absolutely not. And if they are, Roku, you better sign that damn deal right now. No doubt. Make it happen. And they probably would love to make that happen. Absolutely.
