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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
He didn't know.
He's special.
He didn't know.
Okay.
Okay.
Don't do that.
What are you doing?
Okay.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
By Jules.
Jules.
Jules.
Jules.
Whatever we're calling this thing.
Okay, this is another kid joke.
Whose idea was this anyway?
Yours.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

Oh
I saw
I almost bought a new TV.
Costco?
I got a one of the, one of the, one of the companies that I follow on Twitter.
Tweet's out last night.
Tweet's, uh, Walmart just dropped a 43-inch TV for 280 bucks.
How big?
And that's 43-inch, which I know.
Let's stop for just a second.
But it's still, you're saving 220 bucks.
It's still a good price for a 43-inch TV.
280 bucks.
Smart TV?
Yes, it is.
Don't shake your head.
No, a 43 inch, who makes it?
Who makes it?
I don't think it was a Samsung, but I'm not sure.
You could win me a little bit.
280 bucks for a 43 inch is a pretty good price for a television.
Real good price for a 43 inch.
However, it's only a 43 inch.
I moved on.
