Google, while their mothership company, Alphabet, is worth almost $2 trillion. They're under $2 trillion. Now, I know Apple and NVIDIA are well over $3 trillion, so is Microsoft. But Google is only worth, I think, $1.97 trillion. Maybe they've hit $2 trillion. But they were just fined in Russia. 20.5 decillion dollars. Now, have you ever been billed for something that you thought to yourself,

you can tell me I owe you whatever amount you want. I'm still not going to pay it. I'm sure that's the way Google feels about the $20.5 decillion. Fine, over their YouTube content moderation in Russia. Now, according to this, Russia is, is, you know, mad because the video platform failed to restore the YouTube accounts of state media outlets, which the tech company considers pro-Moscow propaganda channels. And, okay, you know, whatever.

But the fine is 20, followed by 33 digits. 20.5 decillion dollars. And it goes up $1 million a day. as it goes unpaid. So 20.5 decillion is equivalent to all the money on earth multiplied by 23,809,523. That's according to this story. You can check your own math. So we'll see how that works out if Google is even going to pay the fine.

I think they've dissolved Google in Russia. And so they're bankrupt in Russia. I know they're being fined in, I don't know, the EU and UK. They're all after Google. But after this, after this being fined in Russia for $20.5 decillion, I don't think they're going to have any money to pay anyone. I know. I know. That's why I'm sure they'll just consider not paying a dime to Russia.

And they also, we also found out from Google that, Much of their code now is being generated by AI. So a quarter of all the new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers. I don't know how long that will last before the engineers just go, yeah, the code is right. AI has done it properly. So just we don't even need to review it.

Just do it. Oh, okay. Now, according to Google, this is going to free up to companies' engineers to do more and move faster. They believe that because that was before the $20.5.5 decillion dollar fine by Russia.

Now, if they have to pay any of that off, they're going to be letting go some people because they're going to need some money. So, there's a problem. People are a little wound up at Google that they're using AI and they expect to be losing jobs

soon. So nearly two-thirds of the developers at Google say they are already using AI to produce code. And more than three-fourths expect to begin implementing such tools this year. So it's pretty soon that I know that Google says, no, no, no. We're trying to free up our engineers so they can do more and move faster. Right. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat.

You know, yesterday we talked a little bit about Neiman Marcus and how their new Christmas book is not a Christmas book at all. It's called The Holiday Book. And then I find out, as we find out, employees are pissed. They are unhappy. They weren't told about it. And they're pissed at the CEO, Jeffrey Van Rambuddinck. that's this

maybe Jeffrey J-E-O-F-F-R-O-Y Van R-R-E-M-D-O-N-C-K R-A-E-M-D-O-N-C-K is their CEO and they are unhappy with old dear old Jeffrey for wiping out the last vestiges of the 117-year-old institutional. It's 117 years old the name and Marcus Mag.

Now, that having been said, there's going to be restructuring and layoffs coming because they are just getting ready to merge next year. They just signed a big deal like a $2 billion deal with Saks Fifth Avenue. I'm sorry. It was a 2.6.5. billion dollar deal to Sacks Fifth Avenue. So these employees were already worried about keeping some of their jobs. And now, maybe they'll keep it because he's made it so bad. I don't know.

I mean, there's been plenty of articles out there talking about what you can get in the new holiday book, but they still call it a Christmas book. Forbes and a Hollywood reporter called it a Christmas book. Other articles have not even mentioned the name. They just talk about how cool it is that you can get a, uh, $77,77,777-Safari in Nambia. So that's cool. That's cool.

You can still get that in the old Neiman Marcus holiday book. But employees are very unhappy, and they didn't know it was coming, and they only heard about it when it was reported in the news. I heard it on the news, and I said, that's ridiculous, man. That's it. How are things going up in Baltimore? Are we building the old bridge back up? Are we getting that back up and running?

Well, apparently so. Now, the owner and manager of the cargo ship that caused the Baltimore bridge collapse has agreed to pay $102 million in cleanup costs to settle a lawsuit brought by the Justice Department. But that doesn't cover any of the damages for rebuilding the bridge. And so, I mean, I know they're talking about $2 billion. which means probably four or five. The state of Maryland has filed its own claim seeking those damages, among others.

It also comes after the Justice Department sued the ship's owner, Grace Ocean Private Limited, the manager of Synergy Marine Group, both based in Singapore, seeking to recover funds from the cleanup. So they've got $102 million coming for that, which I'm sure is just a drop in the bucket of what we've already, what we've already cost or what we've already spent. So, I mean, we've snarled the shipping traffic. I mean, that was the beginning of supply chain issues,

which we've talked about at length on this program. So we'll see what happens. Now, the Justice Department's claim sought that $103 million in cleanup. Wait, and they only paid $102 million? So they... No, we can't do $103 million. do $102 million. Okay.

All right, fine. I mean, there's got to be liability cases for the bridge and for the families. I mean, 103 million or $2 million or whatever it is. They, that's a drop in the bucket from these companies. So we'll see. I guess we're still on track to getting the bridge built. And Biden just pledged, I don't know, another $147 million in grants for the port. and he also said that we're not going to stop until the new bridge is finished completely.

Now, that's our president speaking for the replacement of the Francis Scott Keybridge. A, I don't think they're going to call it the Francis Scott Keybridge any longer. And Congress hasn't done anything with saying that we're going to fund this for 100% of it. I mean, we probably will. And I don't know that we get any argument. But the fusion of this money means more jobs and more problems. projects, and that was part of his inflation reduction

act. I mean, that was what they were pissed about at the port strikes. Is that all the automation at the docks, they don't want it. But it's coming. It's coming because we already spent a bunch of money on reducing pollution for port workers and surrounding

communities. We can't have that. We can't have people around the surrounding areas worried about greenhouse gas emissions. No, because I would be if I lived next to port, man. I would just be upset every day, worried about greenhouse gas emissions on the ships coming to and fro from the docks. And it isn't just the ships, okay? I'd be mad about the heavy-duty transport trucks, the locomotives, the cargo handling equipment that isn't zero emissions. I'd be

worried about that as well. So they better get that fixed because we cannot We can't have that. We can't have people worried about greenhouse gas emissions and try to live a normal life around the port of Baltimore. Or any port, for that matter.

You know, we got news yesterday that Jace case,

is going to start partnering with Mercury 1 to make sure that people affected in natural disasters or even man-made disasters where Mercury 1 goes to help people. They're also going to have Jay's case there to help people that can't get to their medicines and don't have their medicines. Think of all the people that had their medicines wash away in the floods during Helene up in the Carolinas or in Florida during Milton. and, you know, being prepared is most important. And people don't usually think about their medicines because it's such a, you know, an everyday thing.

Well, more people are finally thinking about their medicines. And that's what Jace case is for. I mean, we've had the strikes. You talk about delays when the Baltimore Bridge collapsed. You know, we're talking about shipping delays just from that one port. Then we had the strike. And then we had the storms. And I just, I mean, we've got ongoing strikes.

We've got Red Sea issues with shipping. Holy cow. We've got experts saying that there's going to be plenty of labor on rest that will continue to lead to delays. Oh, okay. Well, there is something you can do to ensure that you and your loved ones have medications on hand when needed. And it's a solution thousands of people have already discovered. So get your emergency medications now. And even if you have the job,

case and it got washed away on a flood. Good news, Jay's case is going to be partnering with Mercury 1. I mean, that could happen as well. Just terrible in these natural disasters. But it's good to be prepared because you're going to want to be able to get these medicines if you need them. If you're in a storm and you get a cut and get infected, you're going to need some antibiotics. And if you can't get to the pharmacy, can't get to a doctor, or if there isn't one available,

You know, and I was just looking at, story about operations in North Carolina and around the country that are being delayed because of Hurricane Helene, the impact of that is still affecting people because there's an industry-wide shortage of IV fluids. Huh. Okay. So people who had surgery scheduled, those have been postponed. the factory in North Carolina that was responsible and is responsible for producing over half of all domestic IV fluid

forced to halt operations due to the flooding caused by the storm. And so people are having to postpone surgeries and racking up more medical debt because of it. It's really sad. But some hospitals, patients are being instructed to drink Gatorade because IV fluids aren't available. available. Many operations are surgeries are being rescheduled or canceled indefinitely. Huh. Okay. So we don't know when that's going to get back up and running. Apparently, I guess they're starting to order IV fluids from other countries, which is always a great idea. And until the flooded factory reaches full production, which is not likely to happen. until next year, although we are only a couple of months away. I mean, if you're listening live today is the 31st of October, 24. You know, we're almost November 1st tomorrow.

So, I mean, we're a couple of months away from next year. But still, though, there wasn't a date of, well, it's going to be back up and running January 1. No, it was sometime next year. So if you are planning on having some kind of surgery, good luck. Good luck, because there's an industry-wide shortage of IV flu. thanks to Hurricane Haleen. All right, good news for the anonymous sisters in Ohio. We talked about them before because they had inherited one of two dimes that they thought was worth some money.

So they had this dime. Nobody knew where it was since the 70s. They knew that their parents or their brother and mother bought. the first error coin discovered in uh and they discovered in 1978 they bought it for 18,200 which would amount to about 90,000 today they claimed their parents and brother uh you know operated a dairy farm and saw the coin as a financial safety net okay and you know it really was except they didn't know what happened to it the sisters were like whatever and the brother had kept it in a bank vault for more than 40 years.

Well, the brother had just passed away. And so the sisters are like, that thing is ours now. Okay? So, you know, this is the only known example of the 1975, no S-proof dime,

sold in 2019 for $456,000 and then again, months later to a private collector. The mint in San Francisco, remember we talked about this, made more, and you remember,

obviously, that we talked about this. The mint in San Francisco, San Francisco made more than 2.8 million special uncirculated proof sets in 1975 that featured six coins that were sold for $7. Collectors, a few years later, said, hey, two of those dimes from the set were missing the mint mark. Oh. And so that is what this family had. So they put it up for auction. Finally, the brother passed away and the sisters said, yeah, we need a financial safety net. which is what our mother or brother thought it would be

when they bought it for $18,200. And the coin just sold. Now it sold, wait a second. So it sold in 2019 five years ago. One of them sold for $456,000. So you would figure in today's world it's got to be worth $800,000? No. It only sold for $50,000, $50,000 at the online auction

and that concluded Sunday at the Great Collections an auction house based in Irvine, California. Wow. So they only got $50,250. They had to have been wanting more. And to have sold five years ago for $456, you would think that you're going to get more than $50,000 more in 2024, almost 2025.

But no, no, you're not. And so the sisters got to. robbed. And just have to take away $50,250. Plus, it was auctioned in California. So I wonder if they have to pay fees and taxes

in California for that money. Instead of having it auctioned off here in Texas. I mean, wow. Why would you auction it off in California? They got ripped off on all parts of that. You know what? Never mind. These sisters, they deserve

what they get. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something. It has nothing to do with them being from Ohio. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something to drink desperately. We mentioned yesterday that McDonald's was going to put the quarter pounder back on the menu, and I'm sure it already is in many places, because they realized, according to the CDC, that it wasn't the burgers. It was the onions that was causing the E. coli. Well, the numbers keep going up. I mean, As of this weekend, there was like 75,

and then we get a report today that said there's now 90 people who claim to have gotten E. coli from McDonald's. Oh, okay. So 27 hospitalizations, and there was one death in Colorado reported. So 13 states have been affected with the E. coli outbreak. And that was all, they were all linked to the McDonald's quarter pounders. but now we have 90 people affected. So if you think you need to get your case in, if you think you got sick because of a quarter pounder

in those particular states because it's going to go away soon. We're at the break point, I think, now. Maybe the next couple days you can say I was sick from the quarter pounder, but I think we're getting close to the end. of those fake reports. I'm not telling you to do a fake report. I'm just saying we're getting to the end of the fake reports because now they believe the risk to the public is very low because they've removed the onions and you have to,

you know, it's bring your own onions if you want them, if you want them on the quarter pounder. So good luck. And I'm happy that, you know, I'm happy hopefully that it's over that we can eat quarter pounders again. I mean, I'm not a huge fan, but I don't want people getting sick. But if you have an opportunity to get on the bandwagon of being sick from McDonald's E. coli, I'm sure that at least you're going to get, you know, a year's supply of quarter pounders or something for your pain and suffering, right? Yeah, they give it a shot. Speaking of McDonald's, I see where they're ice cream machines who we've talked about them over the years about being broken down often and not being

able to repair them themselves right the McDonald's had to have this company come in this certified tailor technician that company Taylor would provide certified technicians to come in and fix the ice cream machines due to these digital locks and there was ways around it but they weren't supposed to do it and it was illegal and the owners could get fined and the company McDonald's for sure weren't going to do it because that was part of the company. Well, now, as of the 25th of this month, just six days ago, the U.S. Copyright Office granted an exemption allowing independent repairs on food equipment, including McDonald's machines, which were previously restricted to Taylor certified technicians. Okay. So this is a,

exemption enables repairs, but it's still illegal to sell tools to bypass these locks. Well, that's kind of weird. So can I rent them? Can these McDonald's franchisees rent the tools to bypass the digital locks so they could fix the damn ice cream machine? So when I pull in and just say I'd like an ice cream cone, that's a buck, and I don't have to hear, uh, yeah, we're, we don't have ice cream. today sir ice cream machine isn't working so I don't have to hear that because not me I'm talking for a

friend I don't just pull into when I see a McDonald's that I can just zip in and zip out when the drive-thru isn't busy and just get yourself a dollar ice cream cone just to you know have a little McDonald's ice cream in your life I not me I'm asking I'm asking for a friend are they able to rent the equipment that will enable them to fix the machines so they have ice cream when I want it. I hope so. I don't know that I'm going to be able to watch this. I see where Jeremy Alan White, you know I'm from the bear. And I love him. I love him in the bear and his other work as well. But he's now going to be Bruce Springsteen and it kills me. I knew that he was going to do it. I remember reading about it, but now it's starting to actually happen. He's posted a picture

of himself as Bruce Springsteen in the Deliver Me from Nowhere movie which is supposed to be available in 2025 Can't Wake So I guess he's gonna be Bruce Springsteen Oh my gosh I mean I do not like Bruce Springsteen

Sam I am and he's 75 now And now they're putting this biopic together This biopic about him and Jeremy is going to play him, and so deliver me from nowhere. It's supposed to be available for a theatrical release in 2025. I can't wait. I cannot wait to not go to this movie.

I don't even know if I could take it on streaming, although if it happens to be on in my house, I may sit down and just watch as much of it as I can, but I can't. right now, I can't. And production has already started. I'm surprised this isn't Barack Obama money. It doesn't look like there was any mention of Barack Obama money.

He's, this is all 20th century studios and Disney live action is part of this. So, Springsteen says he's involved a little. with the lovely cast. And I'm surprised that Bruce didn't get any money from the Barack Obama movie company to do this. That's a little surprising. Are things on the out between Bruce and Barack? Boy, that would be a real shame.

And I wish it's too bad. It would be fun to get a Trump impersonator or have Donald do it himself. But there's like an interview.

He wrote down between Donald Trump and Joe Rogan as part of the Rogan podcast, but it's about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. That's really funny. So, the Chippewa, they have this legend. There's a lake they called Gitchie Gumi. To us, Lake Superior. Yes, nasty lake. Nasty November storms. The Edmund Fitzgerald was a big boat, bigger than most.

It was loaded with 26,000 tons of solid American steel. What happened? The skies of November turned gloomy. The gales, they came slashing. The water was too tough, even to feed the crew. That's how rough it was, Joe. But didn't the searchers say they were almost safe? Fifteen miles.

That's what they say, 15 miles, and they'd have made Whitefish Bay. Crazy stuff, man. All that remains is the faces, and the names of the wives and the daughters and the sons. You know what they say, Joe. Superior never gives up her dead. No, never.

Wow, no wonder my man yay is a buy a new homes and stuff. He made a deal with Adidas that

the out-of-court settlement is done now. Apparently, and I just weird, he did, no money changed hands according to all reports. So Adidas and Ye. I mean, there was multiple lawsuits over the past

couple years since they ended their partnership with Kanye West or EA over his anti-Semitic comment. Okay. But there isn't any more open issues, according to their CEO of Jean Goulden. He told reporters on a conference call, we're not going to comment on any further details, but there are no more open issues, and there is no money going either way.

So the deal is over, and we don't have to worry about, I mean, that's good for Ye. So whatever money he was thinking he was going to have to give up, maybe they owed him a bunch of money. I don't know. I don't know what the deal was, but it's over now. and that's why Ye is out buying new homes and making everybody happy. I see where Elon has been buying some new homes too. He's got some big compound that he's putting together

for his baby mamas and his babies. So apparently he's purchased two large homes in Austin area within walking distance of each other and he's paying $35 million for two properties, including a $14,400 square foot mansion. resembling a Tuscan villa? Well, yeah. And a six-bedroom home directly behind it.

Okay. And he also, I guess, purchased a third home. It's a short walk from the other two. So he wants, I'm surprised he does just buy the whole damn neighborhood and fence it in. And that's where they're living now. It's the Elon Musk compound. And he can call it whatever he wants. So there's, they made non-disclosure agreements before submitting

an offer so that people didn't know it was him trying to buy the property. And he offered 70% more than what the homes would have sold for on the market. Because he wanted people to shut their face and just let him buy the house. And he wanted him. He liked him. He liked the area. And I'm going to have a compound for my baby mamas and my babies. Okay.

So as far as we know, they aren't living there yet, though. So he's got plenty of kids. We'll see what happens. I know that Chavon Zillis, the Neurilink executive and mother of three of his children, who was inseminated with Musk's baby goo in vitro fertilization and moved into the compound. Oh, she has moved into the compound. But Grimes, the Canadian pop star, whose legal name is Claire Boucher. is the mother of three of Musk's children,

and the two are in a custody dispute over those children, and Justine Musk, Musk's first wife, is the mother of five of his kids. Now, neither Grimes or Musk are living in the compound as of yet, but he'll talk him into it. He absolutely ever, you all just need to move in and just stay within the compound. You can do what you want.

I'm not keeping you in, but I just have you here at the compound, so I feel safe. I know my kids are safe and I know that, you know, you know, you're safe. So that'd be awesome. Also, speaking to Neurilink, I see where he had said that the Neurilink, he as in Elon Musk, when he was speaking at the 2024 Congress of Neurological Surgeons. And I love that place, man.

They party. Oh. So he described his vision of a fast robot-assisted implant procedure that could take as little as 10 minutes or 600 seconds. This combination of affordability and efficiency has the potential to greatly expand access to brain computer interface. Okay. And they would be priced similarly to an Apple watch or a smartphone. Okay.

You got to have a brain computer for the price of an Apple watch. All right. I'm in. I'm in. Put it in. Let the robots put it in. I'm good to go. Tie it into whatever other computer thing you've got,

my smartphone, my Apple phone, and I'm good. Just give me the neural link. What do you need it for? Well, I don't know yet, but I want it in there. Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. What? Sounds like Ojo time.

Congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers for winning the 2024 World Series as they defeated the New York Yankees. well, it's the best of seven, so four games to one. And they won last night in New York. Awesome game. Fun to watch. It was incredible. The Yankees were up five to nothing, and then they just fell apart.

And you could feel it in the, I don't think we were going into the eighth inning. And you could just feel the momentum. The Dodgers knew they were going to have it. And they did. They did, brother. They did. And they won the World Series.

So congratulations to the Los Angeles. Dodgers. Freddie Freeman is the MVP. Of course. I mean, he didn't hit a home run last night. He did knock in a couple of runs. He played awesome. He hit home runs in every other game. He was definitely the MVP for the Dodgers. And the guys who reached into Mookiee's glove and held his hands and pulled the glove and pulled the ball out of his glove that got kicked out of the stadium the night before last, the Yankees had said, yeah, you guys can come back, no problem. and the Major League Baseball was like, do.

No, they can't. I don't know if they're kicked out forever, but they were definitely kicked out for the World Series. And they made a big point on the broadcast to say that, yeah, those two guys kicked out. It couldn't come back. And then we gave the seats to some kid with cancer. So, I mean, good.

That's nice. I'm supposed to feel happy. But I know, great, this kid got to see a World Series game. That's awesome. And the seats were awesome. but I would have liked to have seen my boys back in the stadium just for the fun of it. I'm sure they were drinking for free at some bar in the Bronx with their picture blown up behind the bar. No way those guys drink for a drink without being paid for for the bar or other patrons in New York from here to at least next year.

They're definitely stars. Anyway, the Dodgers won the World Series. congratulations. I guess they have a big parade in LA tomorrow morning in downtown Los Angeles so yay

and don't forget it is Halloween so remember that you know bring extra grocery bags or whatever this is my plan. Okay I've told you my plan I don't use it anymore because my kids are are not little anymore

and I'm not, my wife's grandkids are in another city, so I don't get to go trick-or-treating with my wife's grandkids. But here's the deal. When you go out trick-or-treating, always, always take an extra bag to carry the candy. So when you're a little kid goes up to the door, he's only got, you know, a few little candies in the bottom of his little bucket or his little pumpkin or whatever little bag, you have your kid putting candy in

because then that way the people go, oh, you just got started and they throw in a couple extra. And the old ladies go, oh, you only got a couple things, your poor thing, and they put in a couple extra.

And then as you're walking to the next house, just make sure you're deep pocketing the candy into another bag that you're caring for your kid. You get so much more candy that way. You're welcome. That's a Jeff Fisher, chewing the fat, trick-or-treating, hack.

It's not a scam because people are giving out candy. You're just finding a way to have them give you more candy than what they're, you know, what they normally would do because they feel bad for your little kid because your little kid doesn't have, you know, a bucket full of candy. And, you know, you're just, you're not scamming them. It's just a candy hack is what it is from chewing the fat. And it works. It does work.

And so we don't know where Halloween started. You know, I know it's supposed to be some ancient Celtic festival from Saoen, commemorating the end of summer. And it was celebrated, I don't know, a couple thousand years ago. And I guess we refer to it as a Celtic New Year, and that's wrong. That's not supposed to be a Celtic New Year. It's the sunset, the, sunset, the, autumnal feet okay all right fine whatever so it's the barrier uh the Celtic

foreclosure says it's the barrier between the worlds of the living and the dead oh okay and uh it's also the harvest holiday and we're communication with from the with the dearly departed oh okay so the thinning of the veil meant that spirits could return to earth to welcome these visiting spectator celts would make office offerings of food and channel their spiritual energy to tell each other's fortunes. Okay. Ah, that's great. So, you know, it's the supernatural roots.

I got it. What it is right now is for kids to go trick-or-treating and get a bunch of candy. So if you don't want kids coming to your house, leave the light off. And, you know, they may come to your house anyway. But if you have the light off, odds are they're not going to come. The problem with the lights out thing is that they start. start trick-or-treating so early now that it's not, you know, it's not dark out. So you can't, you have your light off anyway.

So they're coming to your house. So you have to, here's what you do. I'm going to give you another Halloween hack from chewing the fat of Jeff Fisher. Okay. You put a small bowl out in front of your house. Now, if you want to leave candy in it, go ahead. You don't have to. You can leave the bowl out there like you had already left the bowl out there full of candy.

and it's empty now. And you put a sign in your door saying, gone trick-or-treating. And so, you know, take one. Take one means that there was candy in the bowl. And now it's empty because I'm out trick-or-treating and I can't refill it. And so you're good.

You're good to go. Make sure that goes up. About the time you start seeing little kids walking across the street, trick-or-treating, because you don't want them coming across to your place yet. When they're coming back to the other direction, they can come up to the house, come up and if they're the first kid there, you leave them a couple of little candy bars and

you're good and they take one and off they go. And then the other kids come up and the bowl is empty and they're pissed, but the sign says, hey, go on trick-or-treating, take one. And they're not pissed because you've gone on your way to leave them candy and obviously those other bastard kids took it. And you can go ahead and finish watching whatever you're watching on TV in the room with the lights out of the house, so they don't think anybody is home. That's a little Halloween hack from Chewing the Fat and Jeff Fisher.

You're welcome. And it's Halloween, so we'll do the joke of the day and get out of here. The joke of the day has to be about Halloween, right? So this was sent to Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com from BJ. His Halloween joke makes it to the show, The Joke of the day, all right?
