I'm sorry I want to mix them Tupperware Brands Corporation is filing Chapter 11 or has filed Chapter 11 Amazing Tupperware That's a household name in America

And they're filing Chapter 11 So apparently they're short-lived the success during the pandemic has gone away now. Have a nice day. And we have lost the pandemic

jump. And costs of raw materials such as plastic resin, I hate the cost of plastic resin, as well as labor and freight, further dented the Tupperware margins. So over the last several years, their financial

position has been severely impacted by the challenging macroeconomic environment, according to CEO Lori Goldman. Tupperware has been planning to file for bankruptcy protection after breaching the terms of its debt and enlisting

legal and financial advisors. So they're not paying their bills. And the company listed $500 million to $1 billion in estimated assets, $1 billion to $10 billion in estimated liabilities.

I'm not a business guy, but I would say that if you have assets of 500 million to a billion and you have liabilities somewhere between a billion and 10 billion that's probably not good anyway they have they have creditors to be between 50,000 and 1 and 100,000 it's interesting how they made that 50,000 and 1 hundred thousand Tupperware. You know, I know that we get our plastic containers now, you know, off the grocery store shelves, and those aren't Tupperware.

I get that. But, I mean, we call them Tupperware. I still, maybe their products are too good. I still am using Tupperware products that my mother purchased 150,000 years ago. You know, like I still, we put our crackers in the one cracker Tupperware box. It was awesome. Love that thing. There's some other container.

that are Tupperware that my wife keeps flour in and we can't I mean pancake dust so that's how we make pancakes is with pancake dust and uh I mean sure we have the we have those other kind that aren't Tupperware but they're not as good they're not as good as Tupperware don't come at me with your Rubbermaid back off me all right I don't want to hear it all right rubber made because we're here. But don't, don't, don't, because even though I have some, you know, rubber made, and there's some other, there's some other off brands that seem to make their way into my home from time to time. But it's not Tupperware.

So now it'd be a good time to buy some Tupperware because you can get a really good deal. And sooner or later, probably sooner, there won't be any Tupperware anymore. It's just incredible. I mean, that's been an American staple for a long time. and now because of, well, the macroeconomic environment and the cost of plastic resin has gone through the roof. And so, I mean, you just can't, you can't make Tupperware anymore. Welcome.

Welcome to chewing the fat. So yesterday we talked about how Amazon has put out a report, and I blamed that on Jeff Bezos dropping down to number three. on the billionaire list. But come to find out, that was only for a couple of days. And now Larry Ellison is back down to number three with a paltry, $203 billion. But that's what Bezos had.

So they're neck and neck, two and three. Bezos and Ellison are neck and neck, but Ellison is number three now. Bezos is number two. Elon clearly in front with, I don't know, $251 billion or something. And so I blamed this on Jeff Bezos dropping down to number three,

and it worked because he popped back up to number two. where CEO Andy Jassy said, yeah, you're going to have to come back to the office. We expect you here five days a week. And I thought that's not too much to ask, really, in 2024. You know, we've decided that when we look back over the last five years, the advantages of being together in the office are significant. And we've observed that it's easier for our teammates to learn, model,

and practice and strengthen our culture. Collaborating, brainstorming, inventing are simpler and more effective. Teaching and learning from one another are more seamless. Teams tend to be better connected to one another. And they don't, you know, they're not breaking right off into it.

They don't want to just throw you right back into the fire. They said, it will give you until January. So, you know, you got, you got a few months to decide, you know, how you're going to get to work now every day because it's a difficult task. The employees are pissed. How dare you want us to come back to the office five days a week? They do not like Andy Jassy.

The one post, they're all bitching at each other inside their company chat. And, you know, my favorite was it's day 1,169. They're counting the days that Jassy has taken over as CEO of Amazon. So this is inside the Amazon Slack channel. And who doesn't have a Slack channel at work these days? So they're pissed that they have to come back. They claimed it was a marketing. It's a marketing gimmick.

Other employees are saying, oh, I guess I get to leave my computer at the desk now when I go to work when I come home, right? And so they are unhappy that they have to come to work. five days a week, beginning in January. So I don't know what's happening over there at Amazon, but I mean, I get it. You got used to being home and, you know, is the job being done?

I mean, you guess, but not up to, you know, not up to satisfaction to the bosses because they want you back in there. We've got to build Amazon back up. The chairman, the founder, he slipped down to number three as the third richest man on the planet. That can't happen.

Get back in here and get to work. We've got to keep this company going. Come on. Either find a new job or, you know, stop. You can't come into the office five days a week. Come on now. And he even gave the out in his memo. He said, you look, there's people who work remotely.

and we're going to do that. You know, they have extenuating circumstances. People will get the remote work exception. That's going to happen. So don't worry. I mean, it's fine. You can still, you're going to have your sick days. Your kids can be sick.

You can have a, what was the line that he used? House emergency. You can have that and not have to go into the office. So quit your whining. So now we have, and I don't even know if these people had Amazon. are going to go on strike or if they're just going to have a walkout. Because it would be just a stay home out and unplug.

We're going to unplug our computers for a day. We're not going to do that anymore. See, just try to get a hold of me on my Slack channel because you can't. All right, I've got it turned off. So then we have Boeing on strike, right? They've got 30,000 employees on strike. And of course, they want more money and better deal. I get it.

Well, now we have the New York Times 10. Union is I think they're going on strike or they're trying to avert a strike. They're claiming that they're going to go on strike. And they want a four-day work week. They want to ban on scents into the break rooms, which I'm not necessarily opposed to. Keep your smells to yourself. Okay. Well, I want you a little, don't be lighten your little scented candle that you got from the mall

in the break room. And don't do it in your cubby either because it smells up the whole place. so apparently their entire list of needs at the New York Times tech union workers they want to include pet bereavement leave they want a four-day work week and the ban on the scented products and break rooms which is awesome and so they have this long list is but oh look so this battle's been going on for a couple years now. And they want to have unlimited sick time, job security for non-citizens who are in the United States on work visas in the event of layoffs and mandatory trigger warnings when discussing

news events. Shut up. So the union, which represents around 600 software engineers and tech-oriented non-editorial workers at the Times, voted last week to authorize a strike, dangling the prospect that work stoppage could come during the peak traffic period around November's battle for the White House. Wouldn't that be a shame? Wouldn't that be a shame that the New York Times wouldn't have their tech assist? We can't get the paper out. We don't have our tech assist.

They claim it's going to cost a company more than a hundred. Now, obviously the company is going to overshoot what they claim. They say more than $100 million in compensation and benefits. over the span of the proposed three-year contract? Wow. So the company said the employees already received $10,000 in reimbursement for adoption or surrogacy expenses, $50,000 for fertility care, discounts on pet, home, and auto insurance. Members of the Tech Guild earn an average salary of $190,000 a year,

include salary, bonus, and restricted stock options, about $40,000 more than their brethren in unions that represent journalists at publications around the country. Now, this is the New York Times, man. What are you're talking about? And the Tech Guilders pissed saying that the big bosses are sitting up there

making all this money. We want a piece of the pie too. So, man, it would be a shame. Again, I want to repeat, it would be a shame if the New York Times couldn't get their posts out from their website or their newspaper. Man, we do not want to see that. We do not want to see that.

So tech union workers, I say stand your ground. Stand your ground and don't take no for an answer. You stand your ground, damn it. I want you to get that pet bereavement leave. And I want you to get that four-day work week. And do not work until they agree specifically that no more sense It can happen in the break room No more of those nasty, smelly,

scented stuff in the break room. We don't want any of that. So you make sure. I want that unlimited sick time. I want you to get the job security for the non-citizens. I want it all. You need to get it all.

Tech union workers for the New York Times. So you stand your ground. You go strike. You shut that place down, damn it. 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.

The rudest cities in the United States of America, brought to you by pre-ply. I know what you're thinking. Pre-ply? Yes, they're a language-learning experts in culture-enthusi. D. And they know how cultural differences can vary from one part of the country to another, but they also know that sometimes rude behavior is simply rude behavior with no ties to culture. So they set out again to learn about Americans' behaviors in the largest cities across the country. And they continued the research from 2022 study, and they surveyed more than a dozen new cities

in addition to those pulled two years ago. They asked similar questions, including everything from how often residents, witness others committing rude acts, how they perceive native residents versus transplants, and more. Using these responses, they created a rudeness score to rank cities from the most to least rude. In addition to this ranking, we analyzed the, they analyzed the differences, not we.

I was not a part of it. They didn't ask me to become a part of it. Between the two rankings to determine how behaviors have changed over time, All right. So, the list of the rudest cities. I'm sorry. The U.S. cities with the rudest residents. It doesn't have anything to do with the city, okay?

All the city councilors are like, that's not us. We try to tell our people. Okay. The U.S. cities with the rudest residence in 2024. One through 10 or 10 to 1? 1 through 10 or 10 to 1. go 10 to 1. All right. Number 10, Charlotte, North Carolina. Number 9, Long Beach, California.

Number 8, Las Vegas, Nevada. Number 7, Memphis, Tennessee. Wow. What comes after 7? 6, Boston, Massachusetts. A 5 comes after 6. Oakland, California, coming in at number 5. Kentucky coming in at number four. And the top three, rudest residents in a city in 2024. Number three, this breaks my heart. But I believe it, Tampa, Florida. My old stomping grounds, my heart.

Tampa, my stomping grounds is Tampa Bay. I never directly lived in Tampa proper. I worked in Tampa proper, but I lived, you know, in Tampa Bay. out toward the beaches and living in a new and all city. Anyway, and that's a family that lived in the, you know, Riverview, which was, you know, outside of Tampa Bay. It's greater, Greater Tampa Bay.

It's like DFW, all these little cities, and it's still the same thing. So Tampa Bay, there is no Tampa Bay. Whenever you hear, they live in Tampa Bay, there's no Tampa Bay. Well, there is Tampa Bay. It's the greater Tampa area. Anyway, number three. Number three, the root as people. Wow.

number two for the rudest residents in a city and I know this is not going to come as a surprise and I would think that it would be number one to be honest with you Philadelphia Pennsylvania Big surprise that

I lived in that city too and huh Anyway the So the top three Actually I have not lived in the number one city But it is in Florida Miami

Miami is the rudest city residents in 2024. So congratulations to all the cities, the top ten rootest cities in the United States of America. Lack of care for others, being loud in shared spaces, and a lack of self-awareness are the most common rude behaviors. Americans witness others doing in public. The older an American is, the more likely, they are to think transplant residents are ruder than natives in their city. Oh, okay.

So compared to the rest of their state's residence, one and four Americans think that residents of their city are the rudest. Okay, so a court of Americans think their city is the rudest. And a quarter of Americans considered moving somewhere else due to people's rude behaviors in their cities. Well, I hope they used real estate agents. I trust.com.

because if they didn't, they may have moved from, I don't know, Tampa to Miami. They might have gone to three to one. You don't want that. You don't want that. Do you want to go somewhere that are less rude? And you also, if you're thinking about moving, you know, buying and selling a home, you want the best for you and your family and your pocketbook. And that's where real estate agents I trust comes in.

I mean, it's such a nightmare to buy and to sell a house and to know every little thing, every little eye to dot, every little T to cross. And that's where real estate agents I trust comes in. We hook you up with the best real estate agent in your area. And they're going to be able to find you the right contractors, the right photographers, the right mortgage company, anything that you need to make the process smooth.

whether you want to get out of a city that's too rude or you have to go back to work every day because your boss at Amazon said you have to go back to the office every day. And now you've got to move back into the city. Real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust. Dot com. All right, let's go to the break room.

Speaking of Instagram, I see where they're making some changes now. Not only, I know earlier they said at one point they were testing, doing away with squares and making the images on the profile pages, vertical rectangles, and they keep trying to, you know, mess around with it to make people, you know, satisfied. But they also now are saying that we're going to introduce new restrictive accounts for users under the age of 18

to address growing concerns about social media's impact on youth. The overhaul is estimated to affect over 100 million accounts worldwide. And it comes as, you know, Mark and Meda face lawsuits from 33 states, alleging its platforms harm children's mental health. Okay, so I'm really torn on that

because, I don't know, here's an idea. Maybe the parents say no. Is it just me? It is? Okay, I'll let it go. New accounts for minors in the U.S., the UK and Canada and Australia, will be set to private automatically, while existing accounts will transition to private over the next 60 days.

Default settings will limit who can contact the miners and what content miners can see. Yeah, because they couldn't go. They couldn't figure that out. They're never going to be able to bypass that, ever. So upcoming features will include silencing notifications from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. and prompting users to close the app after 60 minutes. Users age 16 and above can adjust their settings manually.

Mata will introduce these accounts in the European Union later this year and in other countries in 2025. It's also testing age verification processes, including using AI to prevent minors from misrepresenting their age. Okay. So, hey, they're trying to, you know, they're trying to, trying to help any way they can. Are they? Are they, though? Are they though?

They said they were. Oh, okay. Fine. I also see where a social messaging platform snap, who doesn't have a SNAP account, unveils a new operating system for its fifth generation smart glasses, which signals a renewed push by the company into augmented reality. So if you've got that snap account, log back in. Don't forget your password.

You know, now they'll push on AI. That's why Ellison originally jumped up to number two in the richest man on the planet list because Oracle and AI is, you know, booming in the stock market world. I see where BlackRock and Microsoft, well, you, put two names I do not like to see together, but they are. BlackRock and Microsoft together are launching a $30 billion investment fund to build data centers and secure energy sources to power resource-heavy AI systems. Yeah, I mean, they are actually making sure that they're

coming first with the power companies. So, I mean, what's going to happen is they're going to start making deals with the power companies. And so if they're, there's a brownout, it ain't going to be them. If it gets too hot or too cold and the power has to get shut off, it ain't going to be them. In fact, I believe that's the name of the bill. It ain't us because that's what they're doing. They're paying for it.

How about we just make them let them build their own power source, maybe their own nuclear power plants, and then we can latch on to that. So it would be help with our own. power and then they could have their own power to power up their AI systems and then you know shove a little bit of free energy on the side to the American citizens just a thought I mean we're using their products and uh they could we could let them go ahead and pay for the build pay for the power and give whatever leftover power back to the people huh and I almost sound like the New York Tech

Union there for a second and you know I see where AT&T has settled their FCC investigation tied to the 2023 cloud data hack that issue a separate hack revealed this year to have compromised the 73 million customer social security numbers and passwords. Yeah, it's separate from that. Don't worry about it. But they settled this particular cloud data hack with the FCC for $13 million. I feel like that's nothing. I mean, I certainly don't have $13 million. I would be happy to accept $13 million.

I'd be happy to accept $13. But I'm just saying for AT&T to say, hey, here's $13 million. And you guys are going to go away now. I feel like it's not a lot of money. Who gets that money? Who's getting all that money? Because this is the first hack.

Right, and that was only like, I don't know, 9 million of their mobility customers. I saw where T-Mobile settled their deal on a hack as well. And so I'm just wondering where all this money goes to. Is it coming back to the people? Oh, I kill me. I kill me. I mean, technically, I guess if it goes back to the government, it goes back. to the people, right?

Oh, oh, I kill me. I kill me. And don't forget, I mean, then we have the one, the latest cloud hack that affected 73 million customers and exposed social security numbers and account passwords. So that isn't even in this deal. So don't worry about it. You're fine.

We've talked about it before. Your information's out there. You just got to do the best you can with everything that you have. And your information is out there. And there's just no question about it. When you walk out of your house and maybe when you're in your house, you should know that you're being listened to. You're being viewed on camera.

And, you know, your information is out there. You just have to do the best you can to protect it. And don't worry about it. It's what you've got to do is just don't worry about it. When you start worrying about it, Then you start, you know, losing your hair and you're getting worried and everything gets all you get frustrated, you don't know how to handle things. Just don't worry about it. 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 rink on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no, but chicken tenders, yes.

For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details. I may have to go back and make sure I still have my library card because I think I do. I think I have, I think I'm registered with a library card here in Texas because I did, this was available. This story is based out of Ohio. Notice I didn't make any jokes about Ohio.

being the worst state in the union I didn't do that I didn't mention how much you know what happens in Michigan when we go to the bathroom you look at the map Ohio is right down below us

I didn't mention that at all I didn't do any jokes like that so this is an Ohio at the public library system and I did not know that this you could do this at the library so apparently they loan out these ghost hunting kits

and you have to you get your library card and then you have to put on hold that, hey, I want it next, because it's usually checked out. So it's a collection of specialized electronic items said to help seekers of the supernatural track down spirits. These kits usually consist of a backpack or carrying case filled with items such as a spirit box,

which scans radio frequencies in hopes of encountering ghostly voices. An electromagnetic field meter, an EMF meter, on the theory that ghosts can manipulate EMFs and a recorder for capturing electronic voice phenomena, the EVP, messages from beyond the veil. So I want that. What happens if you screw it up? I mean, I guess you...

Sorry, didn't mean to break it. A ghost scared me. So a public belief in the supernatural has surged over the last two decades. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ghost hunters, ghost files, yeah, all the YouTube shows. Yeah, we get that. So now they started offering ghost hunting kits at the local library.

And I got very excited. Oh, this is just the librarian talking about it. It's going to be excited. The patrons, the kits are available for one week, non-renewable checkouts only. And because the kit costs the library about $250, not including replacement batteries. They are checked out only to adult patrons.

Patrians. They're only adult patrons. Yeah, you know those patrons. Man, do I love those patrons. They like to be called patrons, but, you know, I call them patrons. Who must sign a waiver and return the kit to the library circulation desk

rather than leaving it in the library drop box. Yeah, we just dropped it off. You didn't get it? Sorry. So I'm going to. have to see if the library that is in my neck of the woods actually has a ghost hunting kit. And I'm betting the answer to that is new. So this really isn't who died today, but it is kind of a who died today. At least, well, at least 12 people died, including, sadly, two children.

Thousands wounded, at least 3 to 4,000 wounded, because their pagers, It was the beeper bomb set off by Israel against the Hezbollah members. I love it. Now, all the companies that had to do with the beepers, we had nothing to do with it. What are we talking about? That wasn't us. That was not us. We had a contract and we fulfilled it.

And then we sent it over there. We sent it over to that country. I think it was Hungary. We sent it over to Hungary. And then they put it together. and they we had nothing oh we got nothing to do with it

that's not our our beepers are fine I'm sorry they're pagers yeah we're fine they are fine the uh we the AR 924 brand of pager that's we just that's just ours and we had nothing to do with them

exploding or making them explode or anything like that's not us that's not us so we've got a contract and we had nothing to do with it. We've had a contract with them for years. And so apparently about 3.30 yesterday afternoon and we seen video of CCTV

where guys are at the fruit stand and the pager goes off and then it blows up. And we've seen video of the hospitals that were overwhelmed because it was predominantly in southern Beirut where this took place and in Damascus and that's where they

where most of these pages were because that's how the Hezbollah members kept in contact because they were afraid to use phones because they would be tracked and they didn't so Israel somehow got a hold of the shipment of the new pages and you know either

secretly put in their little explosions I mean I mean, it's almost like a movie, this beginning of a movie, because they all went off at the same time or relatively close to the same time. And people, a lot of guys lost their man parts because of this beeper bomb. And who knew that beepers were still being used around the world? I did not, but they are. And, I mean, it's been a long time since I've had a pager.

I wondered if some reported that it actually beeped before. it exploded. I wonder if you remember how when we had beepers, if you typed in the right number, it would spell words, you know, like explode or bye. Yeah, really, really, really strong. I guess we decided this morning, I've had it said shalom and then it exploded. So, I mean, that is amazing. Now, here's the thing. maybe you don't become a member of a terrorist group maybe you stop attacking Israel and maybe Israel gave you a chance

and told you hey stop shooting at us huh stop shooting at us and you didn't listen and you kept communicating over your beepers so we're going to beeper bomb your ass and I think that's pretty much what it was called Operation Beeper Bomb This episode is brought to you by Peloton

All right, so I'll let you know. what Transformers won

was like. I know it opens up this weekend. I know Friday's the launch day, but since I have the expert, my youngest son in the house, a Transformers expert, and owns about $8 million worth of Transformers,

and I mean, he truly is an expert. We have somehow procured tickets to a special screening tonight. They're giving away special Transformers stuff, and that's we're going so we could just have free stuff.

And so I'll let you know. I'm looking forward to it. It's the untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron. Sworn enemies. But once we're friends bonded like brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever. And so I'm looking forward to it actually.

And don't tell my wife and my son and my daughter. I don't want them to know that I'm actually looking forward to it. What I'm really looking forward to is the popcorn. You know, I was watching football this weekend and there's a couple commercials where they show people eating popcorn and I thought, oh man, I could do some popcorn.

And then I remember it, I had this movie on Wednesday so I thought, all right, I'll just wait for the theater popcorn instead of, you know, some bougie old microwave popcorn here at the house. Get the theater popcorn because it's not possible to go to the theater and get popcorn without having a ticket. You can do that? Oh, okay, never mind.

I'm not going to drive over to the theater. get popcorn, but you can if you want it to. Anyway, so I'm literally looking forward to the popcorn, so I'll let you know. I can't wait for Joker to come out. Joker 2 looks great. I'm hoping, this is just,

I'm just, this is what I want. I should have talked to Todd Phillips, the director and producer of the movie. I should have talked to them about the way I wanted the movie laid out. Because what I really want is the scene, close to the ending scene where Deuce Niro,

gets killed in the last movie. If you haven't seen it, sorry, spoiler alert. Joker kills Duconero in the movie, and I'm the only one cheering in the theater. I'm like, yes, yes, yes. So that needs to be the beginning of Joker 2 as the death of Dush Niro. And I wanna see that played in the courtroom

when they're trying, a flack, all of it. I want to see it again and again and again. That will make me happy. Sure, Gaga, yeah, we love you. You would look great. You're wonderful. I want to see Dush Nero getting killed over and over again.

Just as a side note, more tomorrow on chewing the fat. But I see as I'm sitting here recording the show that walkie-talkies have exploded across Lebanon. So now we've had the beeper bombs. and we've got the walkie-talkie explosions. That is, I mean, they're going to go back to a string and a cup soon communicating. It's going to be smoke signals. That is unbelievable. Wow.

So, have they put Did he? Is he a free? Is he out on the street yet? I mean, I know they sent him back to jail yesterday and said, no, no, no, you're not getting any bail. But he was supposed to revisit that today. So I don't know. I haven't heard.

he's been revisited or not yet. So maybe Diddy won't have to spend his time in jail. I would be willing to bet he will. With all these charges pending against him. And while I know every man is innocent until proven guilty, you could be innocent while you're in jail.

We don't trust you Lee as a flight risk because you are a flight risk. So as I'm reading more about the Diddy charges, And we went through them yesterday, which are fascinating. And every story talks about the thousand bottles of baby oil and lubricant. Like, I don't know if you know this. That's not illegal. Okay.

Sorry. Sorry about it. It's not illegal. Unless he was looking to sell during the pandemic. He was looking to sell loob that nobody else could find. I mean, maybe that's illegal then. but it's not illegal now. Plus, this is just a side note from me.

Lubicants. Very important to relationships. Very important. No matter what relationship it is, it's very important. You can quote me on that, by the way. I know. I know. Yeah, I'd like to right now, but we're out of loop, so not going to happen.

Anyway, so it's very important. Diddy bought it all. The shelf was empty, and we're out. so I was he was being sued also from a little rod born Rodney Jones he's got a complaint

to the lawsuit against Diddy as well Lilrod and in Lilorod's complaint he claims that this girl this Christina Corman is the Jolaine Maxwell of Diddy like Jolain was to

Jeffrey Epstein this Christina Corum Corum. She's the one. She is the one that took care of everything for Diddy.

Hooked up all the people for the freak-offs. Made sure that there was plenty of supplies. In this story it even says including controlled substances, baby oil lubricant, extra lighting, and linens.

I mean, I don't know if you know this. Baby oil lubricant, linen lighting. Not illegal. illegal. Anyway, so he, Little Rod, claims that Combs

domestic employees, including the Butler, the chef, and housekeepers carried a fanny pack with cocaine, GHB, ecstasy, marijuana gummies, and a pink drug called Tucci,

T-U-C-I. which is a combination of ecstasy and cocaine. Now, they always carried those around in their fanny packs so that combs could indulge in his drug of choice at any time. Now, I must say, uh, well, as an adult male American, that's wrong. That's wrong.

And I, I strongly feel that that's wrong. and that doesn't make me happy that, you know, you were participating in this sex trafficking venture, illegal drugs in your house. Now, as me, the host of Chewing the Fat, I am a fan. I am a fan.

And if I could have a butler, a chef, and a housekeeper, I would have them carry around Fannie Packs with GHB X. Ecstasy, marijuana gummies, and my pink drug, a combination of ecstasy and cocaine, just in case I needed it. If I was in the, you know, if I happened to be out back and you were busy cleaning, I could say, hey, give me some tuti. You know, if I ran into the kitchen, I was kind of hungry, I needed a snack. I could say, hey, I'm going to grab a snack and why don't you give me one of those gummies? I could run in, maybe I had to go to the bathroom, take a shower.

I'm in the bathroom and the butler walks by and I could say Hey, getting ready to take a shower Maybe you're giving me a little hit of ecstasy over there I take a shower I mean, come on What a bunch of dirt bags these guys are, man These guys are all just such a

Oh my gosh Just dirt bags And yet Nice fanny bag All right and I love the I love the meme going around yesterday of there's a quick video of Tom Brady at some event and he looks up and has a little smart-ass smile on his face and he's smiling. And the comment is R. Kelly looking at P. Diddy coming into prison.

And I saw 50 Cent throwing out some shade with here I am with who is he with? What's her face? My girl. You know Drew Barrymore. So he posted, Here I am keeping good company with Drew Barrymore TV. I mean, that's questionable in and of itself. And I don't have a thousand bottles of lube at the house.

Kind of funny. Kind of funny from 50 cents. Again, though, with the lube. Not illegal. Anyway, let's get out of here. I've had enough. All right. I'm sure you have as well.

I'll leave you with a joke of the day, a little joke of the day. From the morning corny. From the morning corny. Have you heard about the new restaurant called Karma? No. I haven't heard about the new restaurant called Karma. Yeah, there's no menu. You just get what you deserve.
