Okay, I want to like this, but if I was caught in traffic, I'd be pissed. So there's an activist group that wants to develop tactics against car dominance in all forms.

This activist group is on a mission to put the brakes on driverless cars, claiming the vehicles are unsafe. but the vehicle companies say it's a group's actions happening that are unsafe. So the group called Safe Street Rebel has been disabling driverless vehicles by putting orange traffic cones on their hoods. This apparently disrupts the sensors and immediately disables the vehicle. So they, which means they have to call a human technician that must then respond to reset the vehicle. Hundreds of AVs and autonomous vehicles run by Waymo and crews are currently on the roads in San Francisco, Phoenix, and Austin. And we've talked about that.

The companies have logged millions of miles with tens of thousands of safe, successful rides. Okay. Are they all safe and successful? Not really positive about that. They claim that these cars have hit and killed a dog. you know, do we care about that? Of course we do.

Stop it. And so the safe street rebel believes this system is dangerous and discourages the use of public transit. So they're encouraging more coning ahead of this big hearing that's going on in California on public utilities

from their California Public Utilities Commission. And so they are planning on approving this expansion of A.V. operations. Not with the help of the coners, I'll tell you that. That is not going to happen. The cone campaign will still be ongoing. So I kind of like it. I mean, it's kind of, you know, I kind of like the idea of disabling the vehicles, the driverless cars. However, if a coner were in my neighborhood and put a cone on the car and then that had to block traffic, I would be pissed. So hopefully they do it when the, you know, the driverless car is on the side of the road

waiting for a pickup. Then I'm all for it. No problem. We'll see what happens if it has any effect at all on the California Public Utilities Commission vote. I doubt it very much. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. If you're a single woman, how much would you be? pay to get a husband. Ha! Well, a single woman, 34, Eve at Tilly, is offering $5,000

for a referral to anyone who sets her up and you know, gets her a husband. She posted this plea on TikTok requesting her followers to play matchmaker. Now her post on TikTok, she breaks down what kind of man

she's looking for. She's there with her girlfriend and her girlfriend tries to help her out a little bit about what she's looking for, her requirements for her husband to be and promised that she would pay them $5,000. Let's let Eve tell you what she expects. So I made this that one, my boss, like a couple years ago, and I've now added my best friend, her husband, and a couple other friends. But I feel like I'm just going to open it up to the general public because it's good for it. So the bet slash offer is if you introduce me to my husband, I marry him.

I will give you $5,000. I don't have to stay married to him for long. I can get divorced in 20 years. It doesn't matter. But if you introduce me to a man that I walk down the aisle and get married to, I will give you $5,000. Okay. Eve, thank you. Appreciate it.

It's sounding pretty good so far. My DMs are open. Okay, my friend brings up that there's some contingencies to the bounty discussion. Okay, so the rules to the bounty are. Oh, boy. All right. So it needs to be payable on signature of the marriage certificate. Okay.

You get it as soon as the marriage certificate is signed. All right. It also needs to be the real name on the certificate. How are we going to verify that? Who does that even mean? Thank you. He should have his birth certificate. Oh, right, right, okay. Or his legal, like, name.

Right, right, okay. So he can't, he can't be married to someone via their fake name. Right, exactly. Got it. Oh, my gosh. He needs to be eligible. So that means he cannot be already married. This can't be his second wife.

Okay, so all that aside, we need to talk about what we're going for. So I'm 5'11. So I am open to six foot and taller. I'm also now also open to 5'11 and taller, but we are not open to under 511. That's just like solid. No shorties. No go. I live in Los Angeles, but I'm open to long distance, as long as he's open to long distance.

I want kids, so he has to also want kids. I want more than one, but anything past one up for debate. I'm open regarding politics, religion, and ethnicity. The one thing that I am not open about is he needs to have wit. He used to have sass. He needs to have banter. Think like British humor. And finally, he's interesting to include sports.

I adhere strongly against the Star Wars computer AI nerdy persuasion. There you go. No nerds. Against that population. That is just to say that is probably not my match. I'm going to allow my best friend to also add a couple of missions that she thinks I need. Yeah, please. Okay, so she wants a guy who likes sports, but there's tons of guys out there who like nerdy stuff and also like sports.

Are you trying to make me more open to the nerdy persuasion? Yes. I want to broaden your horizons that. Okay, also the same way. I don't like guys who just play video games. However, e-sports is a thing. And E-sports is a thing. And also, guys who like football can also like Mario Kart.

Okay, we'll open the door to sports plus Mario Kart. But no guys who just like Mario Card. That's a hard now. It's like animals. I have a cat and a dog. I'd prefer if they had a college degree, but that's not a deal breaker of dated people with both. I'd also prefer if they had a car, but again, not a deal-breaker.

I'm 34, and I'd prefer them to be with. within the age range of 27 to 40. But if I wasn't that, I could change that too. They all want me to go like 34 to 43. I'm going to put this out there that I don't really want to date anyone over the age of 40, but I'm open. At this point, I would probably date a rock if it had good charisma wit and, like, you know, made me win. I would have that too. I would probably already have.

Like my top two would be Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl or Matthew McConaughey. So we're either going like British, witty banter. Which is what you said earlier. It doesn't work out. Got a mess in my head. Or like rugged, good with his hands, Midwestern, Southern, good old boy. I don't care how much money he makes.

I'd prefer if he had a large family. I do not want a mama's boy, like spare me the mama's boys. No kidding. But I do want somebody who's close with his family. I'd prefer Linky over fat. Last but not least. He needs to have his own bed. What do you mean?

He has to have his own bed. Weird. I don't know that I understand that point from the girlfriend. But there you have it. If you can help Eve Tilly out at 34. I'm sure that she's running the gamut in L.A.

There's not enough single men in L.A. that like women who are ready to marry Eve at 34. And she's getting, I mean, at 34, you're getting a little long in the tooth. So, she knows she is. So she's looking for her husband,

ASAP. So if you can help her out, you know, it's worth five grand for you. So good luck to Eve and who tries to hook her up. All right, we have talked about the tech mogul, Brian Johnson, who has spent millions to achieve his optimal anti-aging status. And we talked about, you know, all the rituals he goes through,

how many drugs he takes or vitamins that he takes. And now there's a story about how he got to his eating habit. He eats all his daily meals before noon. He measures his nighttime erections and taking, more than a hundred supplements a day. Yeah, it was a lot more than that. And he get blood work and tested all the time. And he, you know, started his anti-aging decisions because he would overeat at night.

And his son now is in on it with him. So, you know, maybe he'll be, he's the youngest old guy that there is. However, now scientists are saying we may have an actual fountain of youth. This pill may be on the horizon. what we want a magic pill, the fountain of youth pill. It's thanks to a jellyfish like marine creature called hydractina symbiolongacarpus. Who doesn't love? Hydrogenia symbiolongacarpus. Yeah, that's what I said. Hydroctinia symbiolongacarpus. Yes, so that regenerates its entire body from cells located in its mouth. So the hydracinitina are tiny tube-shaped creatures that live on the shells of rare crustaceans,

and their remarkable regenerative abilities are expected to have implications for health care and anti-aging treatments. These abilities were discovered after researchers sequenced pieces of RNA, which are related to biological process of gene aging. So a study published in the the journal Cell Reports found that basic biological processes are interconnected. And understanding these processes is essential for human health and disease control. So humans have the ability to regenerate in certain situations such as healing a broken bone or regrowing a damaged liver. Other creatures like salamanders and zebrafish can replace whole organs and regenerate a variety

of tissues. Simple-bodied species like the hydracitinia often exhibit extreme regenerative abilities. So we may be using that for the Fountain of Youth pill. So I don't know about you, but you can go ahead and let me have some of the hydrotinia symbiologocarpus. Pills, man, I would love to have a few of those. Go ahead. You know, what, just go ahead and give me another bottle of those. Yes, I want those. Hydrogenia symbiolongicarpus. Yes.

Please, I'll take some of those. I mean, we will have to come up with a new name for it. I'm not so sure that... Hydrogenia symbiolongicarpus is a good sales name. But, you know, if it's a fountain of youth, you can name it whatever the hell you want. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So even if you're not going on vacation,

summer is all about a vacation state of mind. And I know whether I want to listen to my music or my podcasts or a book, I just need to retreat inside my own head. I tell you, I love creating my own soundtrack and then just playing it back and relaxing. But what makes it even better is using my Racon wireless. earbuds. There's so much going on all summer. Sometimes you just need some upbeat music that pump you up or, you know, your favorite podcast. I, you know, whether just to stay calm or some guided meditation or whatever podcasts you're listening to, I know a lot of times I'm sitting

there doing my work. I want to listen to a specific show and I hear TVs on and people are playing their phones where I hear their TikToks. Then that's when I put in my Racon wireless ear. earbuds and I have everything all to myself. Let me tell you right now, Raycons are the best way to listen. You can use the earbud tap functions to toggle between three customizable sound profiles, the noise isolation and awareness mode. I love it. Raycons have a 32-hour battery life, including eight hours of playtime,

so you can listen to what you want, when you want, for a really long time. And that's really, I mean, hello, that's the most important part of having your RACONs with the 32-hour battery life and eight hours of playtime, listening to what you want, when you want for a really long time. They come with the custom gel tips for the most comfortable in-ear fit. They start at half the price of other premium auto brands, but they sound just as good. and RACONs come with a 45-day happiness guarantee. So, hello, you really can't lose. Create your own soundtrack with RACON.

declining to block the $69 billion takeover of the video game company Activision Blizzard. We talked a little bit about that. Regulators sought to ax the deal, saying it will hurt competition. U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley said in a ruling that the federal Trade Commission, which enforces the antitrust laws, has not shown a likelihood it would prevail if it took the case to trial. The FTC has not raised serious questions regarding whether the proposed merger is likely to substantially lessen competition in the console library subscription services or cloud gaming markets. So Microsoft appeared to have the upper hand in the five-day San Francisco

court hearing that ended last month. And the proceeding showcase testimony by Microsoft Chief Executive and longtime Activision Blizzard CEO who both pledged to keep Activision's blockbuster game call of duty available to people who play it on consoles, particularly Sony's PlayStation that compete with Microsoft's Xbox. So I know they asked Corley to issue an injunction. temporarily blocking Microsoft and Activision from closing the deal before the FTC's in-house judge can review it in an August trial. Both companies said that's going to force us to just abandon the deal. We've been doing this for 18 months.

We're going to have to pay Activision. This is Microsoft speaking. We're going to have to pay Activision $3 billion breakup fee if it doesn't close by July 18th. I mean, I don't even know if that's going to happen now. If it doesn't, they may have to rework that deal, actually. So the judges said, yeah, go ahead. You guys get this $69 billion deal together, would you? The acquisition of Microsoft and Activision Blizzard.

At this time, I don't know if that's going to hold true. for much longer. Although if you're listening live, today is the 12th of July, 2023.

So coming up Friday, July 14th, which is one other reason you're going to want to subscribe to Blaze TV. Blaze Media is teaming up with the family leader to bring you the first presidential forum of the 2024 Republican primary season. I usually don't talk a lot of politics on this show, but this is actually something, you know, worth paying attention to. It's hosted by Tucker Carlson. We're going to be live streaming this event all day Friday,

which is the 14th, a couple days away, on Blaze TV and the Blaze TV YouTube channel, starting at 10 a.m. Eastern, I believe, is the start time for this. It takes place in Des Moines, Iowa. Boy, in Des Moines, Iowa this time of year, is beautiful. We're going to be talking to Rod DeSantis, Nikki, Haley of the Vecarotomah Shwami, Tim Scott, and Mike Pence. And I really only want a couple of questions.

I want to know about Ukraine and I want to know about climate change. Well, and immigration too. So it's, you know, Ukraine, climate change and immigration. And I just ask them about that. That's all I need to know. And then we'll move on from there. So I saw where we had the All-Star game, Major League Baseball, had their All-Star game last night,

National League defeated the American League. And the night before it was the home run derby, if I could speak. And I see where it was the lowest ratings since 2018. Wow. ESPN and ESPN2's coverage of the event brought in 6.11 million viewers and 11% drop from last year's Derby. Despite the smaller audience, it ended up being the summer's most watched event on ESPN. Duh.

and it will probably remain that way until we get into football season. But, you know, it was fine. I mean, I watched a little bit of the home run derby. I did not watch the All-Star game. And, you know, I love what baseball I have watched this year. I like the new clock, the new pitch clock. I kind of like that. It speeds up the game.

Apparently, we've lost at least 20 or 30 minutes a game since the Institute of the pitch clock, which I love. I'm all for that. So if that helps, great. I don't know that the home run derby had all the big stars in it, which that probably needs to happen. I mean, Major League Baseball needs to say, hey, you're our big home run hitter. How about you show up for the derby? How about that?

And then we had the kid get dinged in the head. It was hilarious. I mean, I know he missed the ball and he's supposed to catch the ball. I get it, but he's a little kid, you know, 10, 11 years old, whatever. And, you know, if you weren't a big baseball guy and somebody said, hey, you can walk out on the field, you catch the baseball. You know, you're going out there. You're going to go out there.

So if you get dinged in the head, oh, well. I will say that'll make him gun shy for baseball for a while. I remember when my oldest son started playing baseball and he stepped in the batters box and got dinged in the head hard on a pitch. It took him a long time. to be able to step back in that batters box. I mean, he would bat, but he would be in the back of that batters box, man. He was still gun-shy.

Take a little while. It takes a little while for you to think about stepping back into that batters box and taking a pitch. That's what separates the men from the boys. I see where the SPs are on tonight. And you might say, ah, big deal. And I know I kind of feel that same way, too. So it's on at 8 p.m. Eastern tonight.

If you're listening live, it is the 12th of July. by 2023 today. I'm sure you'll be able to see all the clips, which is probably what I'll do. But as I was looking at there, they're not having a host this year because of the writer's strike. And so I guess

they're just going to have presenters. And I know Pat McAfee is going to be there. He's, I think, going to be probably kind of a host. He'll come out and just kind of have an opening monologue, which will be, you know,

kind of a host. But I was looking at the presenters and Demar Hamlin's supposed to be there. I didn't see my man AJ Hawk. If you watch at McAfee, he, you know, one of his co-host is AJ Hawk. And I thought AJ was going to be a part of it, but he's not on the list.

So he must be just tagging along with Pat. So I was looking at the previous hosts of the Espeys. And pretty amazing. Samuel L. Jackson has done it four times. and so he's the most. Samuel O. Jackson looks like he is the one that's hosted the SB's the most. The last time he did it was 2009.

Then he did a couple years in a row, 01 and 2002, and then he did the first one in 1999. Norm MacDonald did one in 1998. He won't do it again, though, by the way, just saying. Dennis Miller did it the first couple of years. Seth Myers did it a couple of years, 2010, 2010, 2011.

You know, Peyton did it a year in 2017. And then in 2020, they had Russell Wilson, Megan Rapino, Sue Bird. Boy, I bet you that was great. I miss that, and I don't remember that at all. But I'm sure it was great. Anyway, the espies are on if you were, you know, find it worth your time.

Jeff Foxworthy did a year. Might be worth bringing him back. Jimmy Smith did a year. Jamie Fox, who by the way, We've got Jamie Fox sightings. I mean, he was on the boat waving. He was getting in a car kind of waving. And so it's supposed to be him.

He's supposed to be out moving around. Good. I'm glad. And then I see a picture of Jamie Fox and what's her face? Filming the movie. Cameron Diaz. I see a picture of her with the Jamie Fox double on the movie set. So it makes me think,

are we really seeing James? me or aren't we? I don't know. I don't know. You know what? Believe your own eyes. 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. Okay, yesterday we talked about the Aretha Franklin trial and the two sides of the family were fighting against each other and you know one said that a will that was

notarized from 2010 actually counted the other side of the family said no this will that we found in the sofa and it said in the story it was found in a soda can then I read later that it wasn't I guess it wasn't in a soda can

I guess Aretha spent a lot of time on this couch so she would write things and do what you know that was couch. That was where she spent her time. So they found when they were searching for wills after she died, they searched the couch. And inside the cushion was this notebook. And the notebook, you know, had the will there. And the will was different than the one in 2010. Well, okay. Now, they claim that her estate, every story I read is different. It's six million. It's eight million. Some people

say she was worth in the tens of millions, like 80 million. You would think. You would think. I think Aretha would be worth more than $8 million, but all right, whatever, whatever. It's still a substantial amount of money. So apparently now it's over. A judge and jury has decided that the document found in the couch is the valid will. So it's a victory for Kee-Kaff and Edward Franklin, whose lawyers argued that the 2014 papers should overrun the 2010 document. And the jury thought the same thing.

They deliberated for less than an hour after the brief trial on Monday. And the verdict was, yes, we go with the will that was found in the sofa. Okay. So, I mean, the lawyers made a great argument for the keycaps. Look, it doesn't matter whether they found it in the kitchen or the sofa or whatever. wills a will. I mean, she died five years ago already and they're still fighting over this. So it's just, just amazing. So the documents, the scribbles, you know, have different passages. They, you know, were all part of the records that they secured. So anyway, the jury has decided

that the version from 2014 signed by Aretha, who put a smiley face in the letter A is the legal will for her estate. So congratulations to the Franklin family, at least Keekhaff and Edward, who were fighting for the 2014 papers. Those of you that were writing for the 2010 papers, get over it, okay?

They might not get anything now. Another story we were talking about yesterday, Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics doctor, who was convicted of sexually abusing young athletes under the guys of medical treatment, and he was assaulted in prison. And we talked about him being assaulted in prison. And, you know, he was being stabbed 10 times, twice in the neck, twice in the back, six times in the chest, had the collapse lung.

I mean, he's lucky to be alive. And he's in apparently in stable condition. Well, we know now that that's not the first time he was attacked. He was previously assaulted in 2018 at a federal prison. prison in Tucson, Arizona, within hours of being placed in general population. Well, I was thinking, well, hey, there should be, you know, some video footage. I mean, all prisons have video footage. Unlike the Manhattan jail that Jeffrey Epstein was in, where the cameras weren't working,

this is a federal correctional institution in Florida. I'm sure that they have cameras, right? Oh, darn. Man, he was stabbed in a blind spot for prison surveillance cameras. Wait, what? Yeah, look, we've got cameras in the common areas and the corridors. But they're right there in the cell there. We don't have, there's no video coverage there.

So that's why it's listed as an unwitness event. Wow. I mean, if you want to stop some of the violence in the prisons, this is just me thinking out loud. And, you know, what do I know? But I would say that if you wanted to stop some of the violence in prisons, you would have cameras up everywhere so that there would be footage and actual evidence of who was doing the crime. But I don't know that we actually want that. I feel like we want some of that violence to happen in prison to keep the prisoners in line. Again, though, that's just me. Speaking of prison, I see where Leslie Van Houghton, and a lot of people may not know who Leslie

Van Houghton is anymore or was, but she was a former Charles Manson follower. She's been freed from a California prison, making her, that's the end of her 53-year-season. sentence for her involvement in two notorious murders. According to the California Department of Corrections, she's been placed under the parole supervision following her release. So Gavin Newsom decided not to challenge the state appeals court ruling that granted Van Houten parole. She's in her 70s now.

She began serving her life sentence in 1969 for the killings of Lennelie. a grocer from Los Angeles and his wife, Rosemary. So she's in transitional housing now. You know, she's one of those people. She's not going to do any harm to anyone anymore. But, you know, you can make the case that she's, you know, was pretty horrible and pretty horrific to be part of the Manson crowd. So do we really want her release from prison?

I mean, she was sentenced to life in jail, life in prison. And then you make the case, well, you know, she was under the spell of Charles Manson with the drugs and the cult. And she just did anything. And it's been, you know, 50, 60 years now. And, you know, she's fine. She's in her 70s. Let her go to transitional housing and go ahead and die there. Okay.

All right. Whatever. And I mentioned this on Pat today. Today is Wednesday, and I do Chewing the Fat Segment with Pat Gray on Leashed on Wednesday. And I mention that Abby Grossberg settled with Fox News. If you don't know who Abby was, she was a producer, former producer for Tucker Carlson, who claimed harassment based on her gender and Jewish religion. She never even met Tucker.

Tucker was never at the studios. That's amazing. So she claimed that she was harassed. and that she was coerced in deposition against dominion? Well, Fox News said, hey, we're pleased that we've been able to resolve this matter without further litigation. Are you?

I mean, I'm thinking about Sue and Fox. Abby Grossberg just settled for $12 million. She was a producer on Tucker Carlson's Tucker Carlson Tonight Show. And so now she was so, horrified working on in for that show and in that building that she couldn't do it and she sued and they're going to give her $12 million to settle the case wow just I think Tucker harassed me psychically as well does that mean I get $12 million please it's hockey season and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats well almost almost anything so no you can

Don't F.A. Bullgrap me. Get the F out of here. I mean, he's just hollering at people. Now, I kind of make, I'm torn because I want to like that, that he's busy screaming and yelling and telling people, because this is exactly what they said Trump did. Huh. Same thing.

Anyway, but really what this is is just the dementia kicking in, very sad. Very, very sad. And, you know, he's just letting his temper fly. Nobody wants to be around him. I know that, you know, there's others a book by Chris Whipple, The Fight for His Life inside Joe Biden's White House. That has several meetings, and I'll let you choose which one you want it to be. And I know that, you know, the bit was that Dingleberry's on the View were talking about how it.

turned him on and they liked that and then they tried to cover up saying he's just a that's just a white privilege he's just a white guy blowing off steam white male privilege shut up all right it's just agonizing but it's different when trump was doing it right whoopie and joy uh you loved it and got all hot and bothered with joe but not with don't trump so and unbelievable to me anyway uh we now getting reports. Boy, they are really wanting bad things to happen to Joe. I guess you'd rephrase that. They don't want him in an office anymore.

And you know what? I'm okay with that. Okay, take care. Have a nice day. You know, as long as we're in Washington, and I know I don't do a lot of political stuff, but there were some stories that really kind of jumped out at me. Like, AOC, Alexandria Casio-Cortez, the congresswoman person from New York. was asked on one of her, I don't know, threads.

I guess she was trying to make threads work. And they, she asked, what was your, she was asked, what was your best and worst food service industry stories? Because, you know, she was a server before she was a congresswoman. I'm sorry, a bartender before winning her seat in Congress, which is just amazing in and of itself. And so she went off. She launched on some tirade that said, oh gosh, there is literally an endless supply here.

I have some really weird stories. One time, there was this really rich guy who would come in one week a year and was really addicted to mansplaining. You could just really tell he got satisfaction from it. He'd love to say, ask me a question and include all these little asides to belittle the server and uplift himself. what an amazing way to go through life she has. So this guy wants her to ask questions and talk, and she thinks that it's to belittle the server and uplift himself. Anyway, if you indulged him,

he tipped you like $200 to $300 on a lunch tab every day for a week straight, and then he would just disappear until the next year. So I guess that was just horrific for her. and I wonder if she actually pretended to listen so that she would get the tip, huh, because that's what you do. So I guess this lonely guy that walks into the bar is just horrible, and you getting an extra,

what, 1,500 bucks that week was just horrible for him to disappear. You were hoping that maybe he would come back next week instead of being gone for another year. I'm sure that you'll be okay, though, since you absolutely took the money. It's just amazing to me how people see things differently. She's a bartender and a guy walks in and wants to talk to the bartender

because you're nice to him and tips you big money. That's because, not because he's being nice. Not because he is a guy who may be lonely. I want to come to the bar, spend a little money, have a few drinks and have a little. conversation and leave a big tip so that, you know, I appreciate you talking to me. Thank you. I'm in town this week and I'm taking care of some business and then I'm gone until next year. So just, you know, we'll talk. No, that's terrible. That was because he wanted to belittle the server

and uplift himself. That tells you what kind of person AOC is and it's not a good one. Okay, you know that no one supports zoos more than me or this show. No one supports zoos more. That's a fact. Chewing the Fat and myself, Jeff Fisher, support zoos all over the world. No one supports zoos more than this show or myself. Well, now there seems to be a little bit of a problem at some zoos, in particular, the Toronto Zoo, but there's other zoos that are making this case as well. They want visitors to stop showing guerrillas content on their phones. So the zoo, the Toronto Zoo is particularly worried about the teenage Nassir,

who just like a human whose parents are desperate to get them to touch grass, would do nothing all day but stare at a screen if allowed. Behavioral husbandry supervisor, Holly Ross, and who doesn't love behavioral husbandry supervisors like Holly Ross, but this in particular is Holly Ross, told Canadian news outlets that Nassir should, be able to just hang out with his brother and be a gorilla rather than tracking which hashtag get ready with me vids are trending.

So please refrain from showing any videos or any content that especially the ones that could be upsetting and affect their relationships and behavior with their family. So how about how about you just stop showing videos to the guerrillas, okay, for their well Billing. Sure, let your kids watch them. Nobody cares about your kid. That's fine. But stop showing the gorillas the videos, okay?

I mean, it makes me want to go to the zoo, and I know I support the zoo, but it does make me want to go to the zoo and just start showing the gorilla videos. And, you know, you can choose whatever videos you think I'm going to show the gorillas, but

I think I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to show them. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
