Starting point is 00:00:00 Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Boating will begin when passenger fisher is done celebrating.
Starting point is 00:00:22 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 18665330 or visit Comex Ontario.com. Blaze Radio Network And now Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher So a man named Eric Todayo Ramirez from Laredo, Texas
Starting point is 00:00:41 was bragging about stealing $50,000 from a Mexican drug cartel. Now this is going to come as a surprise to you, but he is now missing.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I just know that He's missing. It's been reported that after he was bragging about stealing the $50,000 from the cartel del Noreste, he was then apprehended by the cartel at his home in the middle of the night as they arrived in a blue pickup truck and took him across the border back to Mexico from Laredo. It's all on video. Apparently, he tried to escape.
Starting point is 00:01:30 escaped the truck when they were close to the border crossing and I guess he had blood on his face and one of the officers at the bridge said yeah somebody was trying to get out of the truck but what are you going to do and so they threw him back in the truck and crossed the border now we don't know where he is we don't know what he's doing I have a pretty good idea but I guess a few days later, we do have one person in custody. A Jonathan Carrales, alleged member of the cartel de Neste, came back across the border in the blue pickup truck. And he was then arrested. Now, he said he was aware that the victim had stolen approximately $50,000 from the cartel,
Starting point is 00:02:23 denied bond release, and got charged with kidnapping, according to all the court documents. The rest of the men involved in the kidnapping remain at large. And Ramirez is still missing. So I would say this is just a good rule of thumb. And you can take it for what it's worth. If you steal money from the cartel, don't brag about it. You know what? You can quote me on that.
Starting point is 00:02:53 If you steal money from the cartel, don't brag about it. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. All right, two stories that show when it's your time to go, it's your time to go. And if it's not, it's not. So skiers were on Mount Baker in Washington last month, and it was fresh powder and everybody's all happy about skiing. This skier from New York, Francis Zuber, who's been credited with saving Ian Steger of Washington's States life, who now recognizes Francis as his brother. No kidding. The video is amazing. He was wearing
Starting point is 00:03:42 a GoPro, so it's all videotaped. Francis from New York was wearing his GoPro. All right, so he's racing down the mountain, and he caught a glimpse of this board that was sticking out of the snow. and he was with another group and they had proper avalanche gear and radios but they went into the trees and they were so narrow that we all found our own avenues and lanes is what he said
Starting point is 00:04:11 and it happened to be that had a big tree well in it which is a hole that he fell into and he said he was going to die on the mountain that he's ridden hundreds of times he went into this tree hole and was covered up
Starting point is 00:04:26 completely. He was minutes of away from dying. And when Francis saw him, he was like, oh, crap, not the words he used. And the guy couldn't talk. He's yelling if I'm okay, if I can hear him. I can't see, I can't hear, or see anything. Francis ditches his skis, walks up the slope to Steger's feet, begins frantically digging him out.
Starting point is 00:04:56 He's tunneling efforts, prove successful, which, is awesome. And several down, he gets he gets Zuber's arm free, which was kind of free to begin with. It was sticking out of the snow. But he couldn't breathe. He was covered up with snow. His head was still engulfed in snow. I mean, he was, he was living on borrowed time for sure. He was, according to the expert, probably five to seven minutes, that he was buried. And he was probably close to the point, you know, maybe the halfway point of survival time.
Starting point is 00:05:32 And he finally dug the snow off of, off of Steger's face, and Steger could breathe. And see, amazing. Francis was like, okay, you good? You're good? I got you. And so they took a break,
Starting point is 00:05:48 you know, while he could breathe there for a little bit before he dug him out. And he got his shovel out, and he dug him out. And then, you know, they both live. Now, you watch the footage, and it is amazing what this guy did. It's amazing that he saw him. You know, I mean, it's just a, it's a force of nature.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Some would say, I don't know, an act of God that Francis saw Ian's ski sticking out of the snow and saved his life. So when it's your time to go, it's your time to go. And when it's not, it's not. You can quote me on that for sure. Another story that brings to mind when it's your time to go, you're going to go. And when it's not, it's not. We talked about the explosion in Pennsylvania,
Starting point is 00:06:42 the chocolate factory, the candy factory that exploded, killed seven employees. The whole thing was horrible. They believed it was a gas leak. The footage was amazing. I mean, just blew this thing to pieces, really. So one lady survived. Amazingly survived. Patricia Mourget wound up breaking her collarbone and both of her heels.
Starting point is 00:07:09 She would spend the next nine hours screaming for help and waiting for rescue as firefighters battled the inferno and choppers flew overhead at the RM Palmer Company factory, which is the candy factory that exploded. She said that in an interesting, view, she was a machine operator and she was working, obviously. She was just wandering around the candy factory. She said that she and others complained about a gas odor about 30 minutes before the factory blew. She is angry that Palmer didn't immediately evacuate. She said the death of her coworkers, including her close friend Judith Lopez-Moran, could have been prevented.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Well, I mean, we... hindsight is 20-20, right? So other workers said they smelled natural gas, according to their relatives. And so she said, speaking in Spanish over a video conference, her eyes bruised, her burned right arm heavily bandaged,
Starting point is 00:08:12 she recounted the brush with death. She was getting ready for a product switch that day. So instead of running a candy wrapping machine, she was helping to clean. So at 4.30, she smelled natural gas. It was strong, nauseated her. her and her coworkers approached their supervisor, asked what was going to be done.
Starting point is 00:08:30 If we were going to be evacuated, said the supervisor noted someone higher up would have to make the decision. She got back to work. Just before 5 p.m. Explosion. And she would have been on a ladder. Was thrown to the ground.
Starting point is 00:08:46 She heard screaming. There was fire everywhere, and the flames quickly overtook her. I asked God, why is he giving me such a horrible death? I asked him to save me. that I didn't want to die in the fire. She began to run. That's when the floor gave way,
Starting point is 00:09:02 and she could feel herself falling into a long, horizontal tank of chocolate in the factory's basement. She's only 4'10 inches tall, so she landed on her feet in chest high liquid. The chocolate extinguished the flames, but she believes her fall is what broke her feet. The vat began filling up with water
Starting point is 00:09:26 from firefighters. So eventually she had to climb out of the chocolate tank and reached the top and jumped into a pool of water that had formed on the basement floor. She swallowed a mouthful of water before surfacing. She grabbed onto some plastic tubing and she waited. She yelled, help, help, please help, for hours.
Starting point is 00:09:49 No one came. She was, you know, the pain grew stronger. The water was frigid. the main supply pipe for the building's fire suppression system had ruptured and water was pouring into the basement. She lost track of time. Thought it might be, she might be there for days. It was nine hours. And believe me, those nine hours, I'm sure, felt like days.
Starting point is 00:10:12 So the rescue dogs alerted their handlers that a survivor would be in the rubble and now the rescuers carefully worked their way into the basement and they heard her cries. Oh my gosh. So she was severely hypothermic and banged up conscious and confused, obviously, but amazingly, she's alive. Now, she came to the United States 31 years ago from the Pueblo State in South Central Mexico. She's worked for Palmer for four years. She said she's seeking accountability. And she wanted to speak so that this will be prevented in the future, she said. For my colleague, Judy, I want there to be justice.
Starting point is 00:10:54 and she's launched a GoFundMe campaign to help her out because her recovery is going to be long and tedious. But her prayers were answered. She did not die. So again, I say, when it's your time to go, it's your time. But when it's not, it's not. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So if you're driving around Miami and you're looking for the FTX arena, it doesn't exist anymore.
Starting point is 00:11:37 I know, big surprise. FDX collapsed. And so the deal they had for naming rights with Miami-Dade commissioners fell through. But they just signed a new deal with Kasea. And everyone knows Kasea, right? I mean, hello, they're the powerhouse in the technology space through sales. of IT management software. Duh.
Starting point is 00:12:00 They just signed a new 17-year deal with Miami-Dade for $117.37 million over 17 years, so about $7 million a year to have the Kasea Arena. Yeah, type that into your GPS. So I see where a Japanese firm has started to sell bear meat in vending machines. I don't know that I'd buy bear meat from a vending machine. but they've already, you know, started selling wild-caught produce already in their vending machine. So good for them. The city of Sembuku is selling fresh bear meat.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Yay! And I guess, you know, it's popular with the tourists and with the locals passing through the city because, man, there's probably be a huge tourist attraction at Sembukal. I mean, I got it. It's Semboku. And maybe it is. Maybe it is. It sells for about 2,200 yen, which is about, I don't know, 10 or 11 bucks are in U.S. dollars for now.
Starting point is 00:13:09 So it's hunted from local wild bears. Yeah, we don't want any foreign bears. We want local. This is all local wild bears. It's so popular that people are coming from all over to get this fresh bear meat. Nellison. Most wild bears, including black bears, are captured in the mountains near Sembuku, and killed by members of a local hunting club before being processed as the slaughterhouse. Most wild bears. So the restaurant, the Sobogorl, installed the vending machine in a bid to make the
Starting point is 00:13:48 bear meat a staple of the region, and to put their eatery on the map for tourists visiting the area. So between 10 to 15 pack. packages of bear meat, each weighing about 250 grams, are sold each week. Supplies can run low as bear hunting season is limited. Oh no. Oh, no. Now, bear meat, according to this article, tastes clean, and it doesn't get tough even when cold. Although I would say that the bear meat that I've had is kind of stringy, but it's not bad. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:14:22 And if you have a little bear meat stew, why not? Throw it in there, good to go, right? So in Japan, we have about 4.1 million vending machines in operation, the most per capita in the world. Bear meat is not the only unusual food item in vending machines. They have insects, beetles, and they even sell hamburgers in their food. vending machines. So in January, a Japanese whaling firm unveiled vending machines with whale sashimi, whale steak, and whale bacon in hopes of reviving sales of a food long and declined
Starting point is 00:15:08 and shunned by many supermarkets. Damn it, where can I find whale? You just can't find good whale anymore. So, man, you can find it in Japan is where you can find it in vending machines. Okay. Now, they contain whale caught in Japan, said the company spokesman. All right.
Starting point is 00:15:34 It's about, I don't know, five bucks American money. A thousand yen. Wow, anywhere from a thousand to three thousand. Yeah, now people are pissed about the whale food inventing machines. And they're not real happy about the bears either. But the whale has really got people all wound up. So, I mean, they're trying to expand the nation's whale catch quotas
Starting point is 00:16:01 while the animal rights campaigners are saying, hey, why don't you calm down on your whale meat? Okay? But when you find yourself saying to yourself and your family, where can I find whale meat, maybe have a whale meat, bear meat sandwich? Man, does that sound good? Doesn't it? It sure does.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Nothing sounds better to me than a little whale and bear sandwich. Yum. Yum. Maybe we put a little new hinds on it. I see where Heinz ketchup has now got a three new. hot ketchups and Heinz hot 57 steak sauce. Okay. I mean, I am a Heinz ketchup police officer,
Starting point is 00:16:53 but I don't know that I'm all for this. I believe in Heinz ketchup. And look, if you're serving this at restaurants, don't be faking people with your Heinz ketchup chippole, which is a medium spicy option, or ketchup with jalapeno, which is hot, and ketchup with habanero. which is even hotter and also the new Heinz hot 57 sauce.
Starting point is 00:17:18 I'm not big on those, but if you like it, it's probably the best on the market. And if you're going to sell it, it better damn well be Heinz. Okay? So, so, yeah, that's what I said. Okay, kind of sad news. I mean, we knew it was coming,
Starting point is 00:17:35 but there's been a, you know, a little riff between Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner. So they're saying now, that the last half of season five of Yellowstone is probably not going to happen. So maybe next year, maybe. Ooh, that is not real good. It doesn't bode well for Yellowstone. Now, they still believe that we have a deal with Matthew McConaughey,
Starting point is 00:18:05 who is in the cards with either a spinoff or a role in upcoming seasons of Yellowstone. So we don't know what's happening with that. We know that Taylor Sheridan has got all kinds of shows on his table. Right. I mean, he is a busy, busy man. No question about it. He's got the new show that's coming out, the four sixes, which is his ranch here in Texas, which he owns, you know, he owns.
Starting point is 00:18:34 I know they always say, it's part of his investment group. Okay. He purchased the 266,000 acre property in 2020. for $320 million. So, and I'm sure all the stuff, all the shows that get shot there, I mean, he ends up paying himself back and paying the mortgage on this, no quote, but it also will recognize the ranch from Jimmy's storyline from Yellowstone. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:01 So Yellowstone, season six, will take place at the four sixes, which will set up the groundwork for another spin-off series. And remember at the end of five, we found out that we were going to start selling our beef ourselves like they do on the four-sixes. So that's why they sent the cattle down there. Anyway, and so, I mean, the four-sixes is this huge ranch that's synonymous with West Texas.
Starting point is 00:19:30 And it's a steeped-in-history ranch here in Texas. Then we have, you know, possibly the Matthew McConaughey series. then we have the Bass Reeves prequel series to 19 or 1898 and then you have the 1923. The Bass Reeves story is the first black federal peace officer. I'm looking forward to that. That will be an awesome show. Then we have Tulsa King, which I love the first season of Tulsa King with Sylvester Stallone. That's up for a second season from Taylor.
Starting point is 00:20:11 So, I mean, he's a busy man. He's a busy, busy man. I would like to say, Taylor, if you need some help, you know, email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You can reach out. I know you've got nothing better to do. I do follow your wife on Instagram from my Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, but I will say that there's very few pictures of you. I wonder why that is. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Maybe because you're working and paying off the ranch that she's enjoying with your kids. I know. I get it. I understand Taylor But if you need help again Just email me Join the fat at the blaze.com Anyone can email me at that address

Starting point is 00:21:07 It's not free I'm sure you can afford it No worries So just let me know. Just let me know. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply.
Starting point is 00:21:45 So the NBA, the National Basketball Association, will have labor peace for. a few years to come anyway. Uh-huh, we'll see. The league and its players came to an agreement this past weekend on a new seven-year collective bargaining agreement. It's still pending ratification, though that process is almost a certainty, according to this. The deal will begin this summer and will last through the 20, 28, 29 season. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Now, the one big thing out of this, or at least one of the big things for me out of the new bargaining, agreement. They have removed marijuana from a drug testing system. A yay, yay, yay. So all the NBA players will be able to just fire up that pot. Well, they're not going to be tested for it. And remember Kevin Durant told Letterman in his interview with David and his, my next guest, needs no introduction, that he started smoking. marijuana when he was 22 clears the distraction from your brain. It's like having a glass of wine. In the same interview, he said he wanted to change the narrative around marijuana,
Starting point is 00:23:06 and it's crazy. People are in jail for 20 years for selling a pound. That is actually crazy. So they're no longer going to be tested or banned for using marijuana as part of a new agreement. Now, we'll see. I don't know how that's going to work out because in a number of, states it's illegal and I believe if I'm not mistaken it's still illegal federally. So we'll see how that all works out.
Starting point is 00:23:37 I don't know. Do I think that these players should be in trouble for smoking marijuana? Absolutely not. It's just insane. But that's the way it's been. And so it's done with in the NBA. Good for them. They also worked out some.
Starting point is 00:23:55 luxury tax deal with the owners, because the owners were using this tax deal to sign players. Of course. I mean, they're going to use every advantage they can. And the players should use every advantage they have to get the most money they deserve. No question about that. Do they change the policy?
Starting point is 00:24:19 I guess high school players enter the NBA draft. That was discussed, but they didn't do anything about it. So we'll see about that. And then, let's see, we also appreciate there's a lot of benefit of really having veterans who can bring those 18-year-olds along. Uh-huh. And we're also going to have a big in-season tournament. I guess that's exciting for the NBA. I'm not a huge fan.
Starting point is 00:24:44 I do love basketball. And, you know, when I watch it, I remember how much I love it. Truly, I mean, I watched college basketball the last week over. March Madness, that's the only time I really watched it. I didn't watch any of it in the beginning. I kept up with it, but I didn't watch it. But when I started watching it again, I'm like, man, I miss basketball. I love basketball. Always had a hoop in the driveway. I always played. I do love basketball. Uh, and when I watch it or you go to a game, it's exciting. No question. But now it's going to be even more exciting because just let me shoot the free throw.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Okay, dude? So I'm reading this story Sorry Clear my throat I read the story about this Michigan high school freshman 6 foot 10 Size 23
Starting point is 00:25:43 shoe Now apparently he's had a problem Finding shoes Since he was about 13 or 14 years old Yeah No kidding So Under Armour heard about The struggle and showed up
Starting point is 00:25:56 and they took a 3D rendering and measured his feet and got a mold and they're going to create a shoe from the ground up for him. It's about a six to eight week process. I guess Puma heard about it. They don't want to be outdone, so they're an other deal. He's got to go Fund Me page where you can send money to help him pay for his shoes or whatever. Under Armour has changed the trajectory of her son's life for sure. The mom's real happy. and the son is happy that he actually has a pair of shoes that he can wear.
Starting point is 00:26:30 They're going to make him a couple pair at least so that he can have, you know, around town shoes and, you know, game shoes. He doesn't play basketball, but he does play football. 6'10, size 23 shoe? Yeah, he's a pretty big kid. Well, then I'm reading this story about how Shaq heard about the story. And Shaq, of course, wanting to be the nice guy that he is. And I'm not bad-mouthed Shaq on this.
Starting point is 00:26:56 saying, you know, he knows how to get in the news. He heard about Eric's problems. And so he called him up and said, hey, yeah, I know, I know the struggle. I wear a size 22. When I was a teen, you know, my mom had trouble finding shoes for me too.
Starting point is 00:27:14 So, O'Neill, I guess, said, hey, no problem, I'm going to send you five pairs of my shoes, which are size 22. Well, thanks, Shaq. But I wear a 23, okay? I mean, I appreciate you calling Shaq. And I know that I said my soul left my body for a moment.
Starting point is 00:27:38 I was so shocked that Shaq would call me. And, you know, Under Armour's already been here. And they're making me a size 23, which is the size that I need, Shaq, not a 22. Sorry about it. Thanks for calling. I love you. you're a superstar and I know you wear a size 22 but I appreciate you sending me shoes too small.
Starting point is 00:28:05 You can quote me on this. That's a big ass feet. Yes, that is some big ass feet. I mean, I've worn a size 13, 14 from time to time in my life of 13, usually 13s. But man, that's a size 23. that's a big feat 610 2 that's a good size boy
Starting point is 00:28:30 that's a good size boy but hey Shaq thanks a lot for sending me five pairs of shoes that I'll sit on the shelf because they don't fit okay he said that he was in one interview that I saw
Starting point is 00:28:44 he talked about how he found you know they would find it they found it very difficult to find shoes that fit and he always had blisters. I'm sure he probably walked around without shoes most of the time because, you know, if your feet hurt, you're not going to walk around wearing the stupid shoes that don't fit. You know, like those small ones, Shaq sent.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Those small 22s. Appreciate it, but I'm waiting for underarms 20, underarmers 23s do arrive. Okay? All right. Thanks, Shaq. Appreciate it, though. And I guess we're going to have to keep track of Eric and his football
Starting point is 00:29:21 playing days. See how he does. It's 6.10, the size at least 23. Maybe larger by the time football rolls around. He's in Goodrich, Michigan.
Starting point is 00:29:33 And if you don't know where Goodrich Michigan is, I'm holding up my hand now. Now, this is where Saginaw is, and that's where I was born at. And if you, you know, if you go down south,
Starting point is 00:29:45 well, if you take 75, down past, well, way past, actually, you're going to get off about Grant Blink and you're going to cut across. It's easier probably just to cut across and take 15 down to Goodridge. So we've got to keep an eye on Eric out there in Genesee County.
Starting point is 00:30:22 It's hockey season and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no. But chicken tenders, yes. Because those are groceries, and we deliver those too.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Along with your favorite restaurant food, alcohol, and other everyday essentials. Order Uber Eats now. For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details. So another example of this administration, the Joe Biden administration, not giving a crap about you.
Starting point is 00:31:02 He has implemented a plan to ban incandescent light bulbs from consumer purchase starting in August of 2023. Hey, that's this year, just around the corner. Isn't that special? Now, this is a reversal to the Trump administration policy that allowed Americans, and get this. A Trump administration policy that allowed Americans to choose what kind of light bulbs they wanted to buy. how dare the Trump administration let Americans choose? Okay, the energy secretary, Jennifer Granholm, who is absolutely agonizing. I mean the best.
Starting point is 00:31:42 She said the lighting industry is already embracing more energy efficient products. So we need to push it along. Why? Well, because Americans aren't really buying into it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we know. They're just not buying into it enough.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Okay? So according to this, 47% of American households used LEDs and have already increased LED consumption since 2015. 26% reported they had no main type of bulb in their home. However, 15% of the households reported they used mostly halogens or incandescent, and 12% said compact fluorescent. which are also banned. So here's the deal. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:32 All the rich folks, over 54% of them, use LED lights. But people that make less, only about 30% of their homes use those lamps. So we need to help it along a little bit. All right? You poor people? Yeah, tough, tough. Sure, they're going to cost more. Sure, you're not going to be able to choose what you want to choose.
Starting point is 00:32:54 But we need to help it along, okay? Look, the lighting industry is already embracing more energy-efficient products. So this is just going to accelerate the process to deliver the best products to American consumers and build a better and brighter future. Don't you know you're too stupid to decide what you need? They're there to help you. Duh. And don't forget, while we have Saudi Arabia cutting back on gas, which we talked about the other day.
Starting point is 00:33:26 our president, Joseph Robinette Biden, commented on it when asked about it as he was getting on the plane to go somewhere, who knows, I guess maybe he gets some medical advice over the plane engines humming when asked about the OPEC deal, don't worry about it. It's not going to be as bad as you think.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Oh, okay. How do you know how bad I think it's going to be, Joe? No, he was climbing up to stairs and we didn't want him to fall, so we didn't holler that question at him. So just remember, all right, it's not going to be as bad as you think. That's great.
Starting point is 00:34:07 That is great. So when you're paying four bucks a gallon for gas, just know that it's not five. And what did you think it was going to be? Six, see, you're only paying four. So it's not as bad as you think. Oh, man, oh man. Oh man.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Okay, so I was looking at a U-Gov poll. And man, I love U-Gov polls. This particular U-Gov poll claims that a quarter of the British public say zoos should be banned. What is wrong with the British public? Zos should be banned? No one supports zoos more than this program, chewing the fat, and me, Jeff Fisher. and to even consider having zoos ban is something I can't even imagine. Apparently also half of Britons, according to this U-Gov poll,
Starting point is 00:35:05 think keeping large animals in captivity should be phased out. So I guess we should just let the large animals wander around? Okay, 7 and 10 Britons. Say they go to zoos or wildlife sanctuaries. Yeah, duh, including 28% who visit. them at least once a year. 24% claim that they
Starting point is 00:35:29 never go to zoos. Oh my gosh, that's almost a quarter of the British public. So that would be about the same amount that believes zoos should be banned. Huh. Ha, ha, ha. So most Britons think zoos and wildlife
Starting point is 00:35:44 centers play a positive role in the welfare and conservation of animals. Yeah, that's what they do. I see also 61% would oppose a ban. That's good. Yeah, we're not banning zoos.
Starting point is 00:35:57 What are you kidding me? But this whole practice of keeping large animals in captivity being phased out, I'm not sure what, I think the captivity is a general term, right? We believe we're calling the zoo's captivity, what we want them in captivity over there in a bigger field. Okay. So we don't want elephants roaming the streets and just free and going wherever the hell they want. But we don't want them in the zoos either. We want them, you know, in a larger field over there.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Okay. I don't really understand that thought process. But they say that would you support or oppose phasing out the keeping of large animals in captivity? 19% say, yeah, they would support that. 33% somewhat support it. That's not good. 52% and 52% would
Starting point is 00:37:00 lean in toward phasing it out. Somewhat opposed, strongly opposed. 17% I don't know. So those people that I don't know are going to get run over by elephants along with the 33 somewhat support and the 19% strongly supporting the phasing out of large animals
Starting point is 00:37:19 in captivity. And I'd like to know I keep saying elephants, but there's plenty of other large animals that we have in captivity. Where are they going to go? What are we going to do with them? And what part of captivity do you mean? Because I think what they mean is just zoos. We don't want them in zoos. We feel bad.
Starting point is 00:37:38 We feel bad that these large animals are in zoos. But they could be in the fenced-in area over there. So it looks like they have a bigger area. Okay? Then we'd feel better about ourselves. Oh. Okay. How about you support your local zoos?
Starting point is 00:37:55 It's really simple. Okay? If there's a zoo that you think is below average, say something. And maybe try to help them out. But the ones that are above average, and we've given you the names of some of the best zoos in the country around this country for sure and around the world, you know, support them and do what you can to keep them thriving.
