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 1866-3-3-1-2-600 or visit comexonterio.ca. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So my emergency alert did happen yesterday on my cell phone at 2.18 p.m. The first one came through. Now, I know all the tests we thought were supposed to be at 220, but they did say approximately 220.
Starting point is 00:00:50 We all just assumed that it would be right on 220. Wrong. We had it at 218. and I got, you know, one of two. The first one that came through was in Spanish, and then the second one was in English and telling me that no action is required by the public. I thought, okay, well, we're good to go.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Well, then at 222, I got another alert in Spanish, but I did not get another alert in English, so I'm not really sure what that means. But they did come through, and man, do I feel better about it? I feel safer for myself, my family, and you listening to chewing the fat. Now, I was looking at what this is supposed to be, right? It's a system that's supposed to warn us about dangerous weather, missing children, and other critical situations.
Starting point is 00:01:45 The wireless emergency alert system has been used more than 84,000 times since 2012. I'm not real sure. I don't recall 84,000 times the wireless emergency alert, unless they're talking about amber alerts. But I guess, you know, I feel safer. Well, the thing that I found kind of strange is that they had put a disclaimer in for the alert yesterday that said, you should receive it only once. Well, I received the Spanish version twice.
Starting point is 00:02:22 And it said, yeah, if, the test is postponed due to significant events like widespread severe weather, the backup test date will be October 11th. But I thought that we were supposed to get the alerts if there was severe weather, which would be an actual emergency. So if there's severe weather and they can't get the emergency alert out, we're screwed. So what are we even doing? What are we? even doing. Welcome. Yeah, so the next time that they tell you that the EVs can't have AM radio in them because there's some sort of disruption in the case, we need to have AM radios in vehicles because apparently that's the only way we're going to be able to be alerted if there's severe
Starting point is 00:03:14 weather because if there's severe weather or widespread severe weather issue, we won't be able to get it on our wireless communication. But, again uh you know what are we even doing welcome welcome to chewing the fat well here's something to look forward to sherman has announced a new design in its toilet paper for the first time in 100 years amazing i know so they announced that the ultra soft rolls of toilet paper will now have a new perforation line Oh, that's so special. The easy tear paper will be scalloped edges in an effort to give consumers a simpler and smoother tear. Oh, that's so special.
Starting point is 00:04:09 The company's new smooth tear creation has been in the works for more than five years. Oh, okay. Yeah, we're excited at Charmin, says the vice president. We're reinventing the square. We're very excited to launch the Charmin Ultrasoft smooth tear because this is an innovation that the toilet paper category hasn't seen before. I mean, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Senior scientist at Procter & Gamble Greg Weaver and that has got to be a good gig, said in a media statement that users' top complaint for years have been an inability to get even tears in the paper. Wow. Now, I will say, I don't recall having an issue getting even tears in the paper. But even if I did have an issue of getting even tears in the paper, I wouldn't think to myself, I'm calling Procter & Gamble right now.
Starting point is 00:05:18 I'm going, I'm going to go to Sharman's website and complain. It's Sharman's fault. It isn't my. fault there's no personal responsibility anyway congratulations to sherman uh for coming up with such a such a innovative idea for their new toilet paper with the smooth tear uh no one wants not even tear no one wants that and uh so we want to clean tear every single time it's been a hundred years it's been a hundred years their scientists has been working on this for five years Maybe, I don't know, maybe we're spending way too much money on toilet paper, but okay, congratulations.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Good for Charmin. Congratulations. You guys are hitting it out of the ballpark. I will say that the one thing, the picture shown by Sharman, trusted softness, better tear, has the role, you know, coming over the top, which is the correct way that the roll of toilet paper should be on the toilet paper roll. Anyone who puts the toilet paper to come underneath is wrong. And that's just silly. So maybe there's something Sharman could develop.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Maybe that's what they're working on. Maybe the scientists are working on a way that if you were to put the roll of toilet paper on the roll and it was coming from the bottom and not the top, it wouldn't roll. And so you'd have to change it just to get the roll of toilet paper. I kind of like that idea. I hope they're working on that. So if you're listening to this show in Switzerland, South Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Japan, Germany, Australia, United Kingdom. If you're listening to the United Kingdom, we have to talk about naked attraction, the show that just hit HBO Max from your country.
Starting point is 00:07:16 We'll talk about that momentarily. Canada or the United States. And you are a Donald Trump MAGA supporter. You may have made the list, okay? The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around 2024 U.S. presidential election, so many of you in other countries don't have to worry about this, I guess, unless you're an American citizen and plan on voting in the next election, is so great that they've created a new category of extremists.
Starting point is 00:07:47 And I don't know that it's new, but they claim that it's new. Donald Trump's Army of MAGA followers. And I don't know what they consider Army of MAGA followers. So, I mean, I don't wear a MAGA hat, but I don't mind what Donald Trump did as president of the United States. So if that puts me on their list, I'm sure I'm on it. And of course, they say, well, you know, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement is to pursue and prevent what calls domestic terrorism. Uh-huh. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:22 even though the vast majority of its current anti-government investigations are of Trump supporters. Yeah, no kidding. We're in an impossible situation. If we actually, if we say, hey, we're intent on stopping domestic terrorism and any repeat of January 6th, but we've got to preserve the constitutional right of all Americans. Yeah, is that what you're concerned about? Is preserving the constitutional right of all Americans? Okay. All right. If that's what you say, you got it. You got it. So they're focusing on former President Trump and his MAGA supporters.
Starting point is 00:09:02 And we're going to run the risk of provoking the very anti-government activist at the terrorism agencies hope to counter. Yeah. And so is all you know, so are all your activist judges. And, you know, you just keep you wonder why people still are backing Donald Trump when he goes before the courts. It's because of it. of that. So just know you may, maybe on the list. And I'm sure they're checking it twice. No problem. And many of the countries that are listening to this show outside of the United States may be used to their government making lists. And so, you know, I hope that you stay safe for sure. All right, let's move back to the United Kingdom for a moment. The game show, Naked Attraction. So they're up on Max, HBO Max, and it's six people plus the contestant who is choosing a date. And the host, obviously, Anna Richardson. And she interviews the contestant looking to get the date.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Well, I guess they're all looking to get the date. But there's one contestant who's going to choose from the six other people. And I've watched a couple of them. And there was a man looking to choose a woman from the six. and a woman looking to choose a man from the six. And they put them in these bank tubes, and they bring up the glass so you see more and more of their naked body
Starting point is 00:10:26 as the time progresses. And you, you know, you comment on each particular person's body parts, and what you like, what you don't like. And then you choose. And by the time you get to the top, everybody is completely naked and then what happens is when they get down to the final two i think it is then the contestant who was is busy talking with the host that person goes and gets naked so then that person comes out and is completely naked and then so everybody's naked except for anna richardson
Starting point is 00:11:08 the host and so then you choose who you're going to who you're going to choose to be your day It's fascinating because I don't know that that I'm so strong I don't know that Americans would do it But I'm sure in today's world they probably would It's a I love a couple of the comments that I saw about this show with the hashtag naked attraction Wow, that's a lot of man part for eight minutes And another hashtag naked attraction What the F is this? I can't take it Turn it off, though.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Yeah, no kidding. That's fascinating. And then when they, after they, you know, and they'll tell you that they, you know, introduce the people. And then as they get axed, then they come over and they meet the person and say, this is Joni. And she is a baker from this part of the United Kingdom. And you didn't pick her.
Starting point is 00:12:08 So give her a little kiss on the cheek and have a nice day. Get out of here. And then in the end, after you choose the person, then they, they show them going out on a date and you know with their clothes on and then we uh you know on and on we go so uh it's it's fascinating it's just that i don't think that that's i don't think that that's i don't think it's going to happen in america but it is happening in america because it's odd max right and so we're able to view it i don't know that uh america could do it there's probably plenty of people that would like the gig as the host of uh naked attraction uh it
Starting point is 00:12:45 They probably would call it something else in America, although I don't know what that would be. Naked looking for a date. Naked as a J-bird, tonight is eight. I don't know. I don't know what they would call it here in America, but it would be fun. So if you're opposed to seeing naked bodies
Starting point is 00:13:08 and having reviews of those naked bodies from all people considered, don't watch it. Don't watch the show on HBO Max because that's what it's all about. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. All right, let me talk to you a little bit about QP Goatsoap.com. QPgoatsoap.com. That's where they make real soap.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Old school, hand-poured, made from scratch. Old school means the soap clean. while moisturizing in a way that most commercial bars simply don't. By design. Handmade is the difference between homemade and store-bought for any products.
Starting point is 00:14:02 You know the difference between bread. Yeah. That's the difference between shampoos as well. Raw goat milk makes Quinn's soap special. Creamy, soft, rich, sudsy lather, all with the essential proteins
Starting point is 00:14:17 and nutrients and are they preserved in the goat milk soap and delivered in a finished bar of real soap. And you should, you should try the shampoo bars. You're going to never go back to the bottles of shampoo once you try that. I mean, we all know, the store-bought stuff, you know, fine. It cleans you, but it dries your skin out as well. And that's where they get you because then they want you to buy their other lotions that are supposed to keep your skin soft and luxurious. But you can do that with Quinn Pittman's goat soap. Hello, that's what Quinn discovered
Starting point is 00:14:51 when he first started learning about soap and he's been making it the right way ever since. If you want your skin to be clean, but also to retain its moisture, then you need goat soap. And you'll want Quinn's goat soap. Quinn and his family, very proud of their product, and they should be.
Starting point is 00:15:08 And they want you to know about it. And good for Quinn. I mean, he's been such a young entrepreneur. He's doing something most kids, his age, probably even don't do or wouldn't think to do. He started his own business. I've used the soap. I love it. And you should definitely check them out.

Starting point is 00:15:42 Well, I didn't win the jackpot last night, so I feel okay about it because no one won. That's the power ball jackpot. So the power ball rolls over, the jackpot rolls over to $1.40 billion. The drawing will be Saturday night, $643.7 million cash payout. I have not checked my tickets yet. that does say that someone from Texas won $2 million, and two people from Texas won $1 million. So I could have won either $2 million or $1 million from the drawing,
Starting point is 00:16:29 but I didn't know one won the jackpot. And then, of course, you have the Megamillians drawing tomorrow night, which is worth $350 million. It's easy to spit at it when you're looking at a one, $10.40 billion for the Powerball, but still be pretty sweet at $155.9 million for a cash payout on the Mega Million. So good luck. And I would, you know, look, yes, I would prefer to win the Powerball jackpot and take the $643.7 million cash payout. You walk away with what? Through 400 million? maybe after taxes.
Starting point is 00:17:11 And so, you know, that's pretty sweet. Maybe $350 million. They'd probably take a couple hundred million. I don't know what it would be. Be a nightmare. You'd be pissed. But you'd still walk away with $300,000 or $400 million. You know, same with the mega millions, right?
Starting point is 00:17:25 You want to spit at $155.9 million. Because after taxes, you're taking home what? Maybe 70 million? Maybe. Hopefully a little bit more. But still, that hurts. when you're looking at, when you're looking at, however, it's still, you know, that's the sad thing, right? You're pissed because they're taking all that money out.
Starting point is 00:17:46 But on the other hand, you're going, well, I still have 70 million. And what I could do with $70 million. I mean, I know yesterday we talked about Forbes, you know, richest list and Elon was number one at $251 billion. And we're talking about, you know, winning the Powerball for, you know, one billion, maybe. I see where Apple CEO Tim Cook, the story that he turned, he sold some of his stock, and he is $41.5 million richer,
Starting point is 00:18:21 so after taxes. So he's got, you know, $41.5 million in his back pocket right now. Now, then it talks about, well, wow, that sounds pretty impressive, but he made $355 million selling Apple stock in 2021, and he still holds another $500,000, $165 million worth of stock in his front pocket.
Starting point is 00:18:42 But he's got the cash in his back pocket. Pretty sweet. So good for Tim. I hope everything works out for good old Tim Cook. Hey, more good news, actually, if we're talking about Tim's, you know, cashing in a little bit of stock. More good news and sad news and news that you think to yourself, you've got to be kidding me, right?
Starting point is 00:19:02 Drew Barrymore Show is coming back. Yay! Remember, she said she was going to. come back before the strike was over and they were all pissed and they said no we're not coming back and then drew had a change of heart and said okay fine i'll wait till the strike is over well now our show's coming back and coming back i guess uh middle of the month october 16th uh if you're listening live today is the 5th of october 23 uh on chewing the fat and so the show is coming back october 16th but according to this three wGA writers chelsea wright christina
Starting point is 00:19:38 Kenan and Liz Coe have turned down an offer to return with it. Oh no. Oh, no. So the trio of the writers are not coming back. They actually were on the picket line in front of Drew Barrymore's house in New York during the strike. I'm sorry, her Manhattan studio. Okay, Drew's studio with signs that read Honk if you love Union Labor or Drew's News Strikes. And I'm all for everybody getting what they want. Fine, you get what you want. I've seen quite a bit of Drew Barrymore's show.
Starting point is 00:20:22 And I don't mind Drew. She's kind of a nightmare. I thought she'd be better than she was. In the beginning, I honestly thought she'd be better than she was. But I like Drew. However, let me say this, that if I've seen of that show with writers
Starting point is 00:20:37 come on now, Drew. Holy cow. If that's the best you can do with those three writers, maybe you do need some new writers. Let them move on. Don't even worry about it.
Starting point is 00:20:53 I know that I guess they have to be it's part of their union deal to have these writers on the show. so they are busy, you know, looking to replace these three to stay in compliance. But don't worry about it, Drew, because if what you were doing was any kind of evidence from these three writers, you didn't need them. And of course, the writers will say that that's Drew's fault. I got it.
Starting point is 00:21:22 I understand completely. Just it's strange to me that you're writing for the Drew Barry Moore show. And I guess they've won some awards too, but it's just, I need some writers, is what needs to happen. You know what? I need some writers. Just think. Just think how much. No, I don't want to think about it.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Never mind. From Searchlight Pictures comes Rental Family, only in theaters November 21st. Earning rave reviews at Tiff, rental family is emotional, funny, and the feel-good movie of the year.

You can always follow me on my social media accounts, X at Jeffie JFR, Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio.

You can order that through Cameo. Camios. and then, you know, once I get the order for my pimp, I do what I'm supposed to do, and we all walk away a happy little camper.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Hey, did you see where DISH Network was fined $150,000, which doesn't sound like a lot, but, you know, I don't have it, by the FCC for failure to properly de-orbit one of its satellites, It's the first ever fine levied for space junk. That's pretty incredible. We're starting to find these companies for space junk. Now they need to make these companies get together and create a, well, something needs to happen where we're getting space trash and picking up that space junk.
Starting point is 00:24:00 I've talked about that forever, and we need to make that happen. We've got way too much space junk flying around up there. So that needs to be addressed. And just finding these companies, I guess. Yes is a start. It's one way to make them address their space debris that they're leaving up there. But it's not going to work with what's already up there. We've got to address that problem because that's going to become more of an issue.
Starting point is 00:24:26 And it is becoming more and more of an issue. And that's something perhaps the richest guy on the planet Elon Musk should be working on. But do I want Elon to have the space junk business cornered to? How much is he worth? well, you know, he's worth $400,000, that's all. He really picked up a bunch when he started Elon's space junk
Starting point is 00:24:50 pickup business, but that's it, though. So somebody needs to do it, and I guess it's going to have to be me, but that's an awful lot of work. Hey, speaking of space junk, how much would you pay for a tool that was used on the moon? Okay, this was a shovel
Starting point is 00:25:07 or I guess a scoop that they used on the moon It collected samples of rock from the moon in 1972, and it could finally be yours. I guess right now, the moon scoop from Apollo 16, the highest bid is $60,000. They're looking for a lot more than that. So the scoop was used by NASA Lunar Module Pilot Charles Duke and Commander John Young during their 11-day trip to the moon. The men used the scoop to collect over 200 pounds of rock sample,
Starting point is 00:25:47 which was successfully brought back to Earth. Our auction said the auction listing that the scoop was used by Duke to support himself while he was collecting lunar samples on the moon. Duke spoke to the auction house and said that he used the scoop to his advantage. I had to pick up a rock, probably the size of a watermelon.
Starting point is 00:26:08 I couldn't pick it up with one hand. So I put the shovel down, leaned toward it, and rolled this rock up my side and was able to roll it up and create it like a little baby. So we also mentioned the scoop was used to collect the rare sample called Shadow Rock. And so it's one of the most important items ever returned from the lunar surface. So the shovel not only spent time on the lunar surface, it also spent time three feet inside. the lunar surface, which makes it an exceptional collectable item. It grabs up to 13.75 by 4.5 by 2 as two large spring-loaded buttons that enable the scoop's head to rotate.
Starting point is 00:26:55 It's one-of-a-kind auction item. And it's also photographed many times on the moon. It's been in Duke's possession since it returned to Earth in 1916. 72. Okay. So he just took it home. I'll take the scoop with me. No problem.
Starting point is 00:27:16 So the auction officially closes the 19th of this month, the 19th of October, 2023. I told you the highest bidder already is just 60,000. And they're expecting at least $750,000 for the scoop. So if you're willing to, you know, pay more than 60,000, as of today, it could be yours, but doesn't close until the, what I say, the 18th of this month. So good luck. And if you want the space scoop, I love that he just took it home. Yeah, I had it since 72.
Starting point is 00:27:54 I just took the scoop home and I had it with me. What are you going to do? I just threw it in the trunk when I landed and I brought it home. So the auction officially closes on October 19th. So good luck if you really want the space scoop. May as well stay in space. I see that Prada is now designing NASA spacesuits. I wonder if the old space scoop astronaut Charles Duke and John Young
Starting point is 00:28:27 would have liked to have a Prada space suit. So the Italian luxury brand has teamed up with commercial space company Axiom Space space to design the space suits for NASA's Artemis 3 mission to the moon in 2025. So they're partnering with Axiom to design the space suits for the Artemis 3 mission, which will be the first crude lunar landing since 1972. Which was those guys? Yeah. So this is new.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I bet you they would have liked the Prada suits. This is also the first time a woman has landed on the moon. And so Christina Hammock, K-O-C-H is part of the crew. So Prado's engineers will work with Axiom Space Systems team throughout the design process, including developing materials and design features that are fit for a mission in space and in the lunar environment. So yay! How cool is that? They are so jealous of Elon and SpaceX with their new spacesuits.
Starting point is 00:29:34 now they've NASA is partnering with Prada and Axiom space to design new space suits so that we can be more hip and you know our 72 guys came back with a moon scoop and threw it in his trunk
Starting point is 00:29:51 and took it home. I wonder what these guys will they be able to just throw the old Prada suit in the trunk and take it home so you know 50 years from now they could go, oh, I've had this since
Starting point is 00:30:00 2003. This was the original Prada suit I'm going to put it up for auction now. You can bet that's going to happen. And it's not space, but it is Uber. That should be their new ad campaign. It's not space, but it is Uber. They have announced that they are going to start dropping off your packages, if you wish,
Starting point is 00:30:25 at the United States Postal Service at UPS and FedEx for a flat fee of $5 in dozens of cities. Okay, so you're going to have to order something. So it's return package shipping through UPS, FedEx, or UPS on its Uber and Uber Eats apps. Customers can send up to five packages at a time for a $5 flat fee or $3 for Uber 1 members. It sounds like you're going to have to order something and then once they're at your place, they will take the package. The feature is in addition to the existing Uber Connect program, a same-day delivery option for customers to send packages to and from local destinations. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:12 So they're offering this return package shipping through its Uber and Uber Eats apps. The return package feature, which allows customers to send up to five packages. Yeah, I said that. It's in dozens of cities. Uber Connect program. Packages are shipped through Uber Connect. must be prepaid sealed and ready to be shipped. Packages must weigh less than 30 pounds and be under $100 in value.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Uber shipping guidelines, which we have to follow, prohibit the delivery of some items. Money, gift cards, fragile items. Okay. Customers were able to track and follow their packages with live tracking on the Uber app. Tipping options are available for package deliveries just so you know. So maybe you don't have to order anything. Maybe it's, you're just using, they have the inside the Uber and Uber Eats apps.
Starting point is 00:32:07 They have the package shipping app. I'm going to have to check that out. That doesn't seem like a bad idea that I feel like I'm saying that and then something is going to go wrong. And I'm not sure what it is, but I feel like that. I don't know that that's a good idea. But whatever, I mean, if you have a lot of packages from your business that you need to go to the post office, it may be cheaper to have Uber come and pick them up for five bucks. then for you to drive your car there for $4 a gallon for gas to the Postal Service.
Starting point is 00:32:36 I don't know. We'll see. I feel, and this, I'm not, I know, it's not space, it's Uber. But I feel like there's something that I'm missing with this. And so, if you use the, if you use it, let me know. Let me know what I'm missing, because I really do feel like something I'm missing. But like I said, it's not space. It's Uber.
Starting point is 00:33:05 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. All right, we've got some lawsuits to talk about Wendy's and McDonald's have emerged victorious. Tadda! From a lawsuit that accused the fast food chains of false advertising. A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit Brought against the two companies
Starting point is 00:33:47 accusing them of selling smaller hamburgers than advertised and alleging the food didn't look as appetizing in person as pictured on their websites. The plaintiffs complained in 2020 lawsuit accused Wendy's and McDonald's of using undercooked patties in ads
Starting point is 00:34:03 because fully cooked burgers tend to shrink and look less appetizing and that the companies ads harm customers because they are receiving food that is much lower in value than what is being promised. U.S. District Judge, Hector Gonzalez,
Starting point is 00:34:19 ruled that Wednesdays and McDonald's food images are no different than other companies use of visually appealing images to foster positive associations with their product. Duh! He also said the disclaimers listed on the chain's websites were prominent and gave objective information about the weight and caloric content of those meals.
Starting point is 00:34:38 So we'll see what happens. I know there's other lawsuits with Burger King and Arby's and Taco Bell. And there's, I think actually there's like one guy that's going around suing all these companies. And I could be wrong. I just, every time I read this, it ends up being like one guy that is filing these lawsuits against these companies. So we'll see if it's actually food litigation is the fastest growing area of law. or if it's just one guy that is filing all these lawsuits,
Starting point is 00:35:14 which in turn makes it seem like this food litigation is being growing. But, you know, as for now, and this is, you know, I'm sure you're happy Wendy's and McDonald's. Pretty sure they'll be fine. Another lawsuit, another Harvey Weinstein lawsuit, where have you been? What are we even doing here? Disney, CAA, and Miramax are being sued by Julia Ormond over an alleged sexual assault by Harvey Weinstein in 1995.
Starting point is 00:35:51 The legends of the fall actress does not name her then agents, Brian Lord or Kevin Hovein or former Disney executives, Katzenberger, or Eisner in the filing made Wednesday in New York Supreme Court. the suit does reference the Quartet numerous times. The alleged assault occurred nearly 30 years ago after a business dinner in New York City. Armand was able to pursue the legal action because of the state's Adult Survivors Act. I thought that ended. When does I get?
Starting point is 00:36:20 There I go thinking again, because it's still up and she's still using it. She claimed that Harvey forced himself upon her for oral sex. Knew that, let's see, The CAAN Disney who owned Weinstein's Miramax knew that the producer's predatory behavior
Starting point is 00:36:41 and did nothing to protect her. She claims in the suit that her big name agents and CAA dissuaded her from taking legal action at the time against Weinstein to avoid incurring his wrath. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:57 So we'll see. That's going to be tough to prove because they will all say, no. She doesn't know what she's talking about. But if she has text messages or has some documentation, it could be, you know, it could be, you know, we'll see what happens.
Starting point is 00:37:11 I mean, Harvey's already in jail. He's not going to get out of jail. After living for decades with the painful memories of my experiences at the hands of Harvey Weinstein, I'm humbled and grateful to all those who have risked speaking out. Walking Dead World Beyond Alam Ormond. Yeah, that's where I was looking at her picture going, oh, yeah, that's her.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Duh. She said in a statement, their courage and the adult survivors acts have provided me a window of opportunity and a way to shed light on how powerful people
Starting point is 00:37:43 and institutions like my talent agents at CAA, Merrimax, and Disney enabled and provided cover for Weinstein to assault me and counsel of others. I seek a level of personal closure
Starting point is 00:37:54 by holding them accountable to acknowledge their part and the depth of its harms and hope that all of our increased understanding will lead to first the protections for all of us at work. Amen. Amen. So good luck to Julie Ormond.
Starting point is 00:38:13 And one case that can, I don't know, we'll see if it's true or not. It just says that the family of the Obama's chef, Tafari Campbell, remember him, he drowned just off of the Obama property. It's reported is going to file a massive Ronquel death lawsuit in D.C. federal court seeking millions and damages. That means that there'll be discovery, and with discovery comes the 911 call that was covered up, the tell-all book that he was presumably writing,
Starting point is 00:38:42 and every detail of this case, and we know the misdeeds of the Obama family. We'll see. And they talked about how their computer that was picked up from the house was completely wiped dry. You know, I sewed, dry, wiped clean.
Starting point is 00:39:01 You know, there was nothing on it because everybody has a laptop with nothing on it. Right? Right. Everyone does. And maybe that's the deal. Maybe, you know, you're, look, he's the former president of the United States and I, I know, I know, but he's the former president of the United States. So if you're working for him, fine. But when you stop working for him, all that stuff that's on your computer, that's got to go away, right? I mean, that's proprietary information. Anyway, I just, I will see what happens with that. I mean, that would be, this would be nice if this were actually true.
Starting point is 00:39:34 I, you know, it's fun to, it's fun to think about stuff like he was writing a tell-all book. And this is another example of the Clintons and Obamas and just destroying people's lives and actually killing them when they're tired of something that's going on. You know, is it true? I don't know. I doubt it. But it's fun to think about from time to time. Like we heard that Fetterman is supposed to resign now as senator at the end of the year,
Starting point is 00:40:07 is he? And then they're talking about if he resigns and they give his wife the Senate seat, which, I mean, you can make the case that she's the senator now anyway. You could make that case. But she's like from Brazil or something. She's not even, you know, she's, I think she's an American citizen now. But I don't think she was born. here in the United States.
Starting point is 00:40:35 She was, yeah, because for a while, I thought she overstayed her visa here in this country. And then she married a Federman, which gave her citizenship. It was a weird thing. So we'll see. We'll see if that's actually true or not. Again, those two stories, I find very difficult to believe.
Starting point is 00:40:56 But, you know, maybe, maybe it's true. Maybe we'll look back and go, man, that lawsuit from the chef and Federman resigning, giving the Senate seat to his wife, those were some days, weren't they? Those were good times, weren't they? Yeah, yeah, they were good times, all right. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
