And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
More recalls?
Yes, Clorox is recalling
Pine Soll-scented multi-surface cleaners
in lavender-clean, sparkling wave, and lemon-fresh scents.
Cloorox Pro-Pinesol All-Purpose Cleaners
in Lavender Clean, Sparkling Wave, Lemon Fresh, and Orange Energy Sents,
and Clorox Professional Pinesol, Lemon-Fresh Cleaners,
with date codes beginning with the prefix A4 and followed by a five-digit number less than 22249.
The products are sold in bottles of 2848-60-140144 and 175 fluid ounces.
Out of, say it with me, an abundance of caution.
Clorox is recalling all of the above-described products manufactured at its Forest Park, Georgia facility through September.
22nd, you should immediately stop using these products.
You should bring them back at the place of purchase for full refund with receipt,
or you'll get the manufacturer's suggested retail price without the receipt.
And the products were sold online also.
You could have purchased them anywhere online or in a brick and mortar store.
It doesn't say that they have had anyone get sick,
but apparently it could contain bacteria.
So I'm guessing there hasn't been anyone made too sick
because they're still putting this under the title of,
out of an abundance of caution.
So if you use pine saw, like, I don't know, millions of Americans,
there's quite a list of different pine saw products that need to be returned.
I don't know what to tell you.
Every day more companies are recalling their products.
More and more products, we're finding out that we use every day
aren't for, they're bad for us, they make us sick, they were made wrong.
It's a very, very strange time that we live in.
However, I'm very happy that these companies care about me,
care about you, care about my family,
and they're just doing everything out of an abundance of caution.
Welcome.
Welcome to Chewing the Fad.
So if you have a lot of...
have $130,000 in your bank account, you can apply for a new visa in Indonesia, Bali, to, you know,
to have your, you can live there. It's, they want to boost the economy. They want you to work there
from your second home. You can get a visa available for five or 10 years and you will, I mean,
that's nice of them, really.
And you will then become a remote worker from Bali.
That's really what they want.
Now, don't forget, I said you had to have $130,000.
It's actually, you need to have $2 billion Indonesian rupas,
but that is the equivalent to $130,000 in your bank account.
And the funds must be placed in an Indonesian state-owned bank,
which, you know, is nice of them,
and they want to be able to prove that you have that money.
I don't know once you put it in the bank,
if you can spend it or not.
So you better have more than $130,000,
if you want the 10 years in Bali to be a remote worker there.
I was interested to see that, you know,
I know that the pandemic forced, you know,
everybody to have different working styles
and remote working styles.
And last year, according to,
according to one report from, I think, Business Insider, but I'm not sure,
said that 15.5 million Americans identified as digital nomads.
I mean, I guess I could identify as that.
I mean, really, in today's world, you could identify any damn way you want.
But I guess I could identify as a digital nomad.
And I see where New Zealand and Portugal have recently introduced
digital nomad visas, they want to capitalize on remote workers as well, who want to work overseas,
you know, since the pandemic has upended, the old traditional work structures.
Apparently, they're not the only ones.
Dozens of countries have launched similar programs to attract young and travel keen remote workers.
So there you have it.
If you have, I don't know how much money you have to have to go to these other countries,
I'm sure they have some sort of limit to get your digital nomad visa.
But in Bali, you've got to have $130,000.
I mean, would it matter if you hit the lotto?
I keep talking about the power ball, but nobody won again.
The power ball goes up again.
As of right now, the day of this recording,
the 27th of October, 2022,
time stamp daylight hours.
The next drawing is Saturday, October 29th,
2022 for $800 million.
Cash value, $383.83.7 million.
I am willing to, I'm willing to accept that.
And I hope that you win something.
Just not that.
Good luck, though.
Good luck to you and whoever you, you know, your loved ones are.
Good luck to you.
But, man, that is something.
I wouldn't have to worry about, you know, Bali, Bali, Indonesia, Portugal, New Zealand.
They would go ahead and say, yeah, come on in.
Don't worry about it.
You can have your visa.
So here I am.
Just got to win 800 million, that's all.
So I was kind of excited.
I saw a headline about a new app called My Shake.
And I thought, okay, well, they're going to tell me where the best shake is in my area,
in my local area, or, you know, around the country.
Well, no, that's not what it's about.
It's about earthquake preemptive strikes.
So it lets you know when an earthquake is going to happen.
Apparently, the last 5.1 magnitude earthquake that struck near San Jose on Tuesday,
wow, I didn't realize they had an earthquake there, 95,000 people got an alert on their smartphones,
warning them it was coming.
18 seconds prior to, that's not a lot of heads-up, but it is a heads-up,
a courtesy of My Shake.
It's the app developed by scientists,
at UC Berkeley's seismotology lab.
I love the UC Berkeley's seismotology lab.
Seismatology?
No, seismolology lab.
Seismillology lab.
That's what it is.
I can't even pronounce words.
I've got this cold.
It's driving me crazy.
I've got all this goo in my face.
I will keep my goo to you or me or keep your goo to you.
That's a good way to live your life.
You know that.
The most recent warning was right before the quake.
Okay, but the hope is in the future, obviously, is to give you know, give you more heads up than 18 seconds.
My Shake uses the sensors in your phone to detect movement and then filters it through an artificial neural network to determine if it matches the model for an earthquake.
And unlike some other smartphone emergency system, smartphone, I can't say it, I'm all clogged up, smartphone emer.
smart phone emergency systems that might mistake a roller coaster for a car crash.
My Shake's algorithm is really good at figuring out which motion fits the model,
according to the scientists behind it.
Okay.
So so far, My Shake can only warn you that the ground is about to start shaking.
If you're in California, Oregon, or Washington.
How about Texas?
We get earthquakes here, too.
but it's gathering data to expand
and has been downloaded 1.6 million times.
Can I get that?
Check that out.
Where's my phone?
Right here.
I want to see if I can get the old My Shake app.
It is in the Play Store.
I can install the My Shake app.
MyShank is downloading it as we speak.
It is installed by that was fast.
All right.
Let's open up My Shake, Berkeley.
My Shake will use your location in the background to provide real-time earthquake information to you so you can take protective actions.
Would you like to provide access to your geo position?
Yes, sure.
Let's, you already know where I'm at.
Allow My Shake access to devices location only while using the app.
Let's see.
Allow My Shake to access this device's location.
allow only while using the app
allow my shake to access this device location all the time
keep well yeah whatever
just I want just whatever I agree I agree I agree okay
so according to their terms of service here
rapid notifications and earthquake early warning alert information
is under development and is provided on an as-is basis
my shake makes no warranty that rapid
notifications and alerts will function at all times in all geographic areas, be uninterrupted,
be error-free, or than any errors will be corrected.
My shake suggests drop, cover, and hold on as a general protective action, but is not
responsible for injuries or loss of assets due to provided correct, false, or missed alerts.
Wow.
So use my shake, but we're, you know, we're not taking responsibility for anything.
So, all right.
All right.
I agree.
There you go.
Okay, there it is.
All right, so I agree.
All right, get started.
Help detect earthquakes.
Home base, please.
Home base.
California, Oregon, or Washington.
No, I'm not in those areas.
Yeah, you have my, you have my info.
You know where I'm at.
I'm right there.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
So just another app
to they can follow me around
and know where I'm at.
Okay.
You're welcome.
Let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink.
I think I would have liked to have an actual
My Shake app
to let me know where the best shakes in town is.
Another million dollar idea coming to you
from chewing the fat right now.
While they have my shake,
you can use, you know,
have to come up with just the shakes app.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
You go ahead and use that.
You can email the show anytime chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
I'm sorry, I'm on some kind of cold medicine.
I'm trying to get rid of this cold, and I'm just kind of blurry.
Everything is just blurry today.
So email the show, Chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
Thank you for listening.
I appreciate it.
You can follow me on Twitter at Jeffrey J-F-R.
Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio.
Of course, the YouTube channel Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.
You can DM my wife, Talking Sense, S-C-E-N-T-S.
If you want to get some air fresheners from her,
at Amber Fisher, and I think Framelight Photography, I'm not sure.
Whatever, you can find her, my posts about the new business
since she started talking since.
You can...
Is there anything else I have to hawk?
Oh, yeah.
Cameo.
You can order a cameo for me.
Those are not free.
The podcast is free, though.
There are some rules to follow.
And, you know, the podcast is free.
But there are some rules to follow once you subscribe to chewing the fat.
I know.
A lot of shows might just say, hey, subscribe, and it's free.
And, you know, thank you.
We appreciate it.
Well, you know, you can rate
review and if you one of the rules is that uh you know as a subscriber when asked hey what are you
listening to i don't care what you're listening to your answer is chewing the fat with jeff fisher
obviously you're going to be listening to other things i want you to listen to other things
everyone listens to an abundance of of things i want that to be true but when asked hey what do you
listening to, your answer must be chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. It's a simple rule and it's
easy to follow. I just got an email from Nate who said I'm a subscriber and I've never had an
opportunity to make the correct response when someone asked, what are you listening to? The reason why
is because I was wearing hearing aids so I don't really listen to anything on headphones.
However, were you listening with over-the-counter hearing aids now? I'd like to know if you
you were using those. However, tonight I was watching TV and my nephew asked me what I was watching.
And without even thinking about it, my automatic response, of course, was to the family with Jeff Fisher.
Thank you. That's what I'm talking about. That right there is a good subscriber. Who's a good little
subscriber? You are, Nate. And so he claims in his email, I know it's not quite the same thing, but no, it is.
And I'm going to make a little addendum to the rule, thanks to the rule, the little Nate
to the rule.
Thank you.
That's a great idea.
So no matter what you're listening to
or watching, if someone
asks you as a subscriber
to chewing the fat, hey,
what are you listening to?
Hey, what are you watching?
Your answer must be
chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
Now, obviously, you're not even going to go,
oh, no, that's right, I'm watching this.
But your first answer,
the first answer, so it's
automatically I'll turn no matter where you're at, what you're doing.
Hey, what are you listening to?
Chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
Hey, what are you watching?
Chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
That's the rule.
It's the name addendum.
It's the way it is.
So I can't get enough of Ye.
I know that it's, I said yesterday is probably back to Kanye now.
I mean, the world is calling him Kanye West.
But that's not his name.
His name is Yee.
Okay.
And, you know, he's crumbling down.
No question.
I mean, he's done being a billionaire now for sure.
Adidas pulled the plug, cut the ties.
He showed up at skitchers, skeechers, sketchers, and they summarily kicked him out.
He showed up on and out, we didn't want anything to do with him.
His supermodel that he was dating, he even said, I haven't gotten any supermodel business in quite some time.
He didn't use the word business.
He used the P word.
That's right, you heard me, I said the P word.
Oh my gosh.
I'm embarrassed on myself.
He also posted,
hey, you can start to make new designs for footwear apparel and accessories immediately,
Adidas.
As to Gap,
the non-compete expires December 15th, 2020.
You own the Yeezy brand and all trademarks associated with Yeezy or Yeezy.
So we'll see what happens.
I mean,
my man is spiraling out of control.
I was thinking that I said yesterday,
I think he'll just,
you know,
you just release a new album,
and you make a few million, right?
A few, maybe another hundred million.
He's worth four or five hundred million now.
He'll be okay.
He still has some real estate, some cash, and music,
5% stake in Kim's shapeware firm, skims.
But he's just not a billionaire anymore.
And so we'll see what happens.
I did like the idea of Peloton
trying to remain relevant.
saying that, well, we're not going to allow anybody to,
we're not going to promote any of his music on our platform.
Oh.
Okay.
Do you honestly think that if I'm working out on a Peloton, I care?
I guess they do.
Sure.
I guess they do.
So they have indefinitely paused any inclusion of songs by Yeh in their classes.
That was a statement to,
a pillow buddy.
So if you're a Peloton member,
you a guest are a pillow buddy
and probably got the update.
I know Alex Toussaint,
one of the Peloton instructors,
went so far as to say,
because I love everybody.
I want to make sure everybody feels safe
in my environment, in my classes.
I'm not going to speak too much on it
because you know I stand with you.
You will not hear that artist in my class.
I promise you all I do not support hate speech whatsoever, baby.
I don't tolerate that at all.
Oh, okay.
All right, well, all right, good for you, Alex.
How about you, give me a little hype on riding your bike, okay?
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
How about you do that with the music that works?
And if Ye's music works, let it work.
I hope are you still using R. Kelly, Alex, just wondering.
agonizing.
Congratulations to Rihanna.
Rihanna, Rihanna, Rihanna.
She's releasing her new single to Black Panther, Wacconda Forever, soundtrack on Friday.
That's her first new solo song in six years.
And yeah, she's going to be part of the Super Bowl now.
She's coming back as a big star.
So be ready for that.
I'm sure they'll be using that at the O'Peloton if someone cares.
When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering,
could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list?
Like this designer fragrance for my daughter.
At just $39.99, how could I resist?
This luxurious will throw for my sister.
This gold watch for my partner?
A wooden puzzle for my niece?
Leather gloves for my boss?
Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard?
At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners?
Stop wondering. Start gifting.
Winners find Fabulous for Less.
So who died today?
Huh?
Who died today?
Well, Ash Carter died today.
He served as Defense Secretary under former President Barack Obama, died at 68.
During his tenure, he opened up military combat jobs to women, allowed transgender people to serve in the military.
He's a Rhodes Scholar, theoretical physicist.
I mean, okay, good for him.
He also ended a ban on all the trans people serving in the military.
There was a ban, I guess.
Okay.
Good.
I'm glad that ban is gone.
Before that, Carter helped develop defense policies like spearheading the development
and production of thousands of mine-resistant ambush-protected M-RAP vehicles,
saving countless military lives.
And I actually did.
critics said he was out of touch with the military when it came to conflict in the Middle East.
Ah, really?
Obama celebrated him as a leader who made the U.S. and the world safer through his lifetime of service.
Ash Carter, dead at the age of 68.
Now, there was a person who was reported dead yesterday that broke my heart, and thankfully he's not.
Jerry Lee Lewis
The Killer
They reported
Was dead
I am a card carrying member
Of the Jerry Lee Lewis fan club
I love the killer
I am a big fan
I've seen him multiple times
Around the country live
Some of the best
Performer live performances
I've seen
With Jerry Lee Lewis man
I saw him once
He had just gotten out of the hospital
He was playing
We were at some dive
bar he came in with his yellow tux on he was awesome man he just came we walked through the crowd with
his yellow tux on kicking chairs he kicked his little piece of crap piano so this is all they would
give me it was awesome i saw him on a river boat in new orleans that's i mean that whole story
that whole new orleans trip was amazing he was awesome on that trip i mean he was up on the piano
playing with his towel uh it was holy cow and then he was
At one show, this was the one show in Clearwater, I think at Ruth Eckerd Hall.
He, we started hollering us, a song Meat Man.
I wanted him to play Meat Man.
And he stopped and looked at us.
It was like, all right, we'll play, I'll play Meat Man then.
I call me the Meat Man.
You got to see me Eat, ma'am.
Anyway, it was reported that Jerry Lee Lewis had passed away.
And I know he's not well.
He's been struggling.
He had a real stroke a couple years ago.
He's been fighting back.
And, you know, it's been tough.
But he is not dead.
Don't be breaking news like that when it's not true.
TMZ.
I know you guys are all trying to be first on the job.
But take it easy, okay?
It was a little shook yesterday.
And I love the stories.
Oh, nicknamed Killer Lewis.
No, he was nicknamed.
the killer. All right? It's Jerry Lee Lewis, the killer, okay? And they made a big deal about him
being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Well, he should have already been there. It's
embarrassing that he wasn't already there. But he couldn't be there because he was sick. So he had Hank
Williams Jr. and Chris Christopherson accept the honor on his behalf. And he said that he was
greatly disappointed and not being able to share his thoughts in person. And he thanked the
organizers were their honor. He should have said, yeah, thank you for giving me something I should
have already had. Okay. My name is Jerry Lee Lewis and I'm damn sure here to stay. Got it. I mean,
he's the last one. He's the last surviving member of the Sun Records Million Dollar Quartet.
The rest of them have all died. And who's still here? Jerry Lee Freakin Lewis. Okay. The killer.
so don't be
jumping around telling me the killer
is dead when he's not
because I was about ready to be a little shook up
and then thankfully I found out that the killer is still
alive
my favorite Jerry Lee's story
he's being interviewed
he's got his diamond
grand piano ring on
he's a badass
and they're asking him about when he came to Nashville
and how he played the piano
everybody else was playing guitar and you know what he felt like and he was going to the different
record labels and they were turning him down and telling him that he should play guitar but he played
piano and you know you play it how you stand up and you know that was just him and uh he said so
they asked him uh you know what he felt about uh you know coming to Nashville and starting to get
turned away and he was like I felt like I hitchhiked in I hitchhike out
uh I don't need you people I'm Jerry Lee Lewis I'm damn shit
you're here to stay. Think about it.
I see where they found, well, they found a buried car with
possible human remains in it.
In the hoity-to-to-dy neighborhood up there in Atherton, California,
it's the San Francisco suburb where all the, you know,
the tech CEO millionaires live.
And there's a house there that, well, Paul Allen from Microsoft,
Lindsey Buckingham for Fleetwood Mag,
Elizabeth Holmes
lived there
NBA star Steph Curry
Eric Smith
they were all
they were all there
anyway so
the average home price
in the town is about
7.5 million and if you were paying
7.5 million
nothing
so this mansion
these people bought
in 2014
7.3 million
Okay, anyway, they were remodeling and they dug up a car with concrete bags placed in it
and cadaver dogs, you know, smelled human remains.
So we don't know, and they're saying that the people that live there now are not responsible.
Okay.
I mean, sure they probably know that.
I mean, there's probably dates on the concrete bags.
The car is probably a lot older than when they were there, that kind of thing.
So we'll find out, but it could be, uh,
murder murder in the hoidi-to-di upscale neighborhood of Atherton and we'll find out what happened
and who died and who done it I mean we know who done it with the couple in Turkey so the husband
40-year-old Hakkan was out walking with his wife Samira 32 and he pushed her off a cliff I
know, and she was pregnant. Amazing. Just terrible. So he took his heavily pregnant wife to the cliff
and pushed her off the cliff just for the life insurance policy. That's what they claim. Now,
he has denied it. However, they took him to court and he's going to spend at least 30 years
before he could be considered for release in a Turkey court at prison. All right, so it was a thousand
mile or a thousand foot cliff
called off of butterfly
valley and it's a beauty
spot and she didn't
want to go out there he said hey
come on over let's take a selfie right
here and
then she didn't want to come out there
but he talked her into it hey let's take a selfie
and turn around and then
pushed her off the cliff
holy cow that's cold-blooded
that's cold-blooded
now apparently
he had a life insurance
policy
taken out for her
and
you know
in a recent period of time
and the police
didn't think anything of her
you know accidentally going off the cliff
until he went
and tried to claim the life insurance money
really
okay
sure if you didn't think that at all
before he went to get the life insurance company
all right fine no problem
it was in the courtroom
there was a
family that testified that they were filming.
He said, my daughter was filming the view with my phone when this couple came down the slope.
And we even joked, well, either the man is going to throw the woman off or the woman's
going to throw the man off.
Yeah, that's not funny.
All right, because that's what happened.
All right?
So nobody captured the actual fall.
So, you know, we'll see.
I guess they stayed up there for a while
until they were made sure that no one else was around
they claim that
he was not
he was calm when he was waving down people
after the accident to try to save her
didn't try to get down there
it was just you know he was too calm
for that
and so we'll see
I mean he's already guilty
30 years
So that's just cold-blooded.
Just cold-blooded.
Plus, I mean, you'd know a better way or figure out a better way
than take out a life insurance policy and then kill her right away.
She'd take that life insurance policy out right away.
But he probably was thinking he couldn't wait until the baby was born
because now you're talking about two people.
Now, of course, I know.
Don't look at me like that.
I know it's two people already.
But it's still.
two and one right now.
Once the baby is born, now you're talking about two separate entities, and that's, uh,
ooh, that would be serious, cold-blooded.
And if you wanted to get rid of the wife, he'd still have to take care of the kid,
because you can't kill a kid, right? You just, you can't kill a kid. Hello.
Now, he claimed he was insane, and they said, no, no, you weren't.
You were sane, and you're going to spend at least 30 years in prison. Get out.
And in another case, here in the United States of America, a Wisconsin jury has convicted 40-year-old Daryl Brooks Jr. of killing six people and injuring at least 60 others in November after his SUV slammed into a Christmas parade in the Milwaukee suburb of Oahuahisha. We have seen that. We saw how horrible that was. We've all seen that footage. He was found guilty of all 76 charges.
in the deadly hit and run.
Good!
Including six counts of intentional homicide.
61 counts of recklessly endangering safety.
Each homicide count carries a mandatory life sentence,
while each of the counts for reckless endangerment carries a maximum sentence of more than 17 years in prison.
He pleaded not guilty in February, represented himself at trial after firing his public defenders.
He also initially pleaded guilty by insanity and later withdrew his...
plea. The trial was marked by a series
of clashes. Yeah, but the Brooks and the judge,
he was freaking out
in the courtroom. I know I read about it,
and I don't know that we talked about it at all, but he
was arguing with the judge and taking off
his shirt and having to be removed.
So, you know, they were saying that he was
doing that to, you know,
provide a basis
for his insanity plea,
which he later withdrew.
So it's just time for Daryl
Brooks, Jr., to
go away and not be seen from for the rest of his life.
Be ready for the new wave of COVID crossing the globe.
I know that we have warnings coming from Europe already saying that the BQ.1, which is related
to the BQ.1.1 subvariant of Amacron, driving up cases.
across Europe and now coming into the United States.
There's a new wave, so be ready.
And the new variants of the virus are evolving faster than the supply of adapted vaccines.
So be careful out there because it's coming.
The BQ.1 and the sub-l lineage, which is called BQ.1.1,
will become the dominant strains by mid-November, according to
the intelligence doctors at the
disease, the Center for Disease Prevention and Control in Europe.
So just anyway, heads up because COVID is coming.
Our president is talking about getting vaccine again,
keeping up to date.
If you're completely updated on the Vax,
then you need to continue to get one shot a year,
according to our president.
Okay.
All right.
Good luck with that.
And speaking of COVID, I see where the container ships in Los Angeles and Long Beach were at a year point of when it was so backed up there.
Remember, they said that they were 109 ships deep, 60 miles off from the coast.
It was pretty amazing.
Well, the shipping situation is almost back to normal now.
Yay.
As of last week, and it's really not.
Yay!
Because, just wait a second.
The number of ships waiting to drop off their goods
stood at just four, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Plus, the cost of sending a 40-foot container from Shanghai to L.A.
has plummeted from its peak of more than $12,000
to almost $2,000 nearing its pre-COVID average.
Okay, so goods are flowing once again, smoothly,
at the U.S. ports. Hopefully
that that's a good sign, right?
There's no snarls, that's kind of thing.
Well, that's a fast,
my friend. In the words
of Lee Corso, the biggest
factor in clearing out traffic is that
the demand for imported goods
has dropped. That's
probably not a great sign for
the economy. The port of Los Angeles
handled the least amount of import
containers in the month of September
since the Great Recession in
2009.
retailers already up to their eyeballs in inventory.
Shipping lines have canceled 26 to 31% of their trans-Pacific sailings in the weeks ahead.
That's not really good.
Supply chain looks makes you realize how long of a journey your holiday gifts have to arrive.
You have to get out to the trip.
We know that.
We know that after they're probably, they're already here.
As freight waves lays out the peak season for shipping goods from Asian factories to the
The U.S. is already over.
Yeah, we know that.
So for the next couple of months,
holiday guests will be traveling on a truck or rail car to a warehouse,
and partial delivery companies will take them to the finish line
from Black Friday through December 4th and 24th.
Yeah, we know that.
So we still, then, then what do we do?
You know, when we get rid of those products,
if and when we get rid of those products,
now you've got no products coming into the country.
So good times, good times ahead.
Plus, what is happening?
with our railroad strike.
It looks like we have at least through November 19th
when they return to the bargaining table.
Okay, I guess there's no...
They claim that our government, our White House,
has said that there's a tentative agreement
to this rail strike.
Boy, it doesn't sound like there's a tentative agreement.
The Second Railroad Union rejected the deal with the major U.S. freight railroads,
reflecting workers, increasing frustration with the lack of paid sick time
and adding to concern about the possibility of a strike next month that could cripple the economy.
Yeah, we don't want a rail strike in this country.
The Brotherhood of Railroad Signalman, I love the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalman,
said nearly 61% of the workers who voted opposed the five-year contract,
even though it included 24% raises, $5,000 in bonuses,
it is the second rail union to reject a deal this month.
There's good faith bargaining is not happening.
They said the recommendations of a board of arbitrators
that Joe Biden appointed this summer denied workers
the basic right of paid time off for illness.
So there's still, it doesn't sound like we've got a tentative deal.
their KJP or Joe Robinette Biden, our president.
It sounds like that the 12 rail unions that together represent
115,000 workers nationwide, aren't ready to approve your little contract deal.
And the strike is, well, it's not eminent, but it is coming.
We do not want that.
Wow.
Is there nothing that this administration cannot screw up?
I mean, really.
Is there nothing?
You don't have to answer that.
I already know.
All right, I got to go get some tea and clear this goo out of my skull.
I'll leave you.
Yesterday, we talked about the guys that are struggling with their man parts too big to have a regular life.
And, you know, whether that's true or not, okay, I got it.
Some of them didn't look too big.
I mean, you're not getting a regular life with that.
And you could just write your own jokes.
And obviously people did.
I had one joke sent to me.
I'll leave you with this one from John.
And it's a racist, horrific joke.
And that's why I'm bringing it to your attention,
because these are the kind of jokes that we don't need.
All right?
He said in his email, I can't resist the story.
Are you a racist?
I already know the answer.
A man walks up with a problem with his man part.
He wakes up, I'm sorry, a man wakes up,
does walk up.
Of course, he walked up with that problem too.
A man wakes up with a problem with his man part.
He immediately goes to the doctor who diagnoses it as Hong Kong Dong.
Now that has to be, there's something wrong with that right away,
but I'm going to let it go.
The diagnosis is Hong Kong Dong.
He asks what the treatment will be,
and the doctor says there is no treatment.
to amputate immediately. I'm a little upset with that diagnosis. He goes to the second doctor
who says, yep, Hong Kong Dong. We'll schedule an amputation first thing in the morning.
Not so fast, my friend. Still not satisfied. He goes to Chinatown to see a Chinese doctor.
Same diagnosis. We don't have to amputate, though. Will we? He asked the doc. Well, the doctor says
no amputation necessary. That's a, well, he said that's a relief to American doctor.
wanted to amputate immediately.
The Chinese doctor says,
yeah, that's a problem with the American medicine.
Always in a hurry.
We wait two or three weeks.
It turns black and it falls off by itself.
It's really sad.
This is the kind of jokes we don't need.
And I tell you those jokes
so that you can realize that those are exactly the jokes
we don't need in our lives anymore.
Okay?
All right then.

You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack.
But she's never told her side of the story until now.
People assume that I'm like this pervert.

How do you feel about having been involved in bringing sexual trauma at other people?
I don't even know how to answer that question.
