Starting point is 00:00:00 Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Okay, we all want to be healthy and we want to be, you know, feel good about our bodies and we're doing the right things, don't we? Of course we do. This could be coming to a city near you very, very soon. There's a new thing, well, it's not new. It's been around for, I don't know, hundreds of years, but it is now taking off a good.
Starting point is 00:00:30 going to a beer spa and no that's not called a bar there's one in the Czech Republic called the Chateau Spa Beer Land and it is a wellness trend uh-huh what do you have to do well what you do you get into a thousand-liter water-filled oak tub and then they put in well, beer, hops and grains, and that relieves stress from your body. And it also opens up your pores.
Starting point is 00:01:09 And this is Brewer's yeast, which is a lot of vitamin B and makes you look younger. Oh, that's great. It went along with malt, another well-being booster, which is great,
Starting point is 00:01:23 because then you just go into the room and you get into this giant tub of beer. And sometimes they decorate, it up and you have stained glass windows and murals on the wall. And next to the tub, which is really good. When you're done soaking in your beer tub, you get out and you, you lie down on a bed of straw. Man, am I ready to pay for this? It's a traditional check compliment to the Hoppy Hot Tub experience.
Starting point is 00:01:54 After bathing the, after bathing, the prickly bed aims to further. stimulate the skin via the roughness of the straw, which is why we, I don't know, opted against using it a long time ago. And it provides you a sense of getting closer to something that is natural. And wow, that is great. Now, they also have a thing in some of these spas, and I don't know if this is actually a happy ending or not, but you can get a
Starting point is 00:02:31 hop scrub in the tub get it a hop scrub in the tub now this is good for your skin it relieves muscle stress and improves circulation and the hoppy aromas
Starting point is 00:02:47 are reputed to promote relaxation and boost mood and we're seeing spas opening up across the world are you they're in Iceland Spain. We've got some.
Starting point is 00:03:01 There is one in the United States. Near Baltimore. Wow. Okay. Beer bath. B-I-E-R bath. Open in late 2023 in Baltimore. And then there's the Oakwell Beer Spa in Denver.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Okay. So there's a couple here in the United States. Nice. So I don't have to travel to, I don't know, Iceland and Spain and the Czech Republic to get my beer bath because I'm going to get my beer bath and it's good for couples too listen it's it's great for couples to share this and and be share a wellness trend with each other don't you think there's nothing like a beer bath and then a jump out of the old beer bath onto a bed of straw
Starting point is 00:03:49 my gosh uh what a what a creative way to take people's money. But hey, if it's good, it makes you feel better, go for it. Go for it. Because really, at the end of the day, don't we all just want a hop scrub in the tub? Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. As long as we're talking about wellness, I know people believe that microdosing is good for you.
Starting point is 00:04:28 but if you're thinking about using the Diamond Shrooms brand micro-dosing chocolate bars, that's candy that is said to be infused with mushrooms. That's been linked to severe illnesses, including seizures, loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness, agitation, abnormal heart rates, hypertension, nausea, and vomiting. According to an outbreak alert,
Starting point is 00:04:55 released by the Food and Drug Administration. so I would be careful. Now, maybe that's what you're looking for. Maybe would you take some shrooms and some infused? Maybe when you're having your chocolate bar infused with the mushrooms, maybe that's what you're looking for is seizures, loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness, agitation, abnormal heart rates, hypertension, nausea, and vomiting.
Starting point is 00:05:24 If that's what you're looking for, maybe you do want the Diamond Shrooms brand microdosing chocolate bars. But so far, eight people across four states have been sick, and apparently they were not looking for that when they were eating their chocolate bars. Some in Arizona, Indiana, Nevada, and one in Pennsylvania. Eight of the eight, six have been hospitalized. So use extreme caution due to the very serious effects of these products. direct
Starting point is 00:05:55 we've seen according to the director of Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center, love them. We've seen the same phenomenon of people eating a chocolate bar,
Starting point is 00:06:06 then seizing, losing consciousness and having to be inabated, so they're scaring you now. Dudley noted that the state is aware of additional cases beyond the eight,
Starting point is 00:06:14 oh, those cases were reported from Nebraska and Utah. So just be careful out there when you're microdosing because we don't know how much microdosing is going on in the chocolate bars. Now, the chocolate bars themselves, Diamond Shrooms, says the bars contain primal proprietary blend
Starting point is 00:06:38 of nootropic and functional mushrooms. The website also contains reports of laboratory analysis on their products, some of which indicate the absence of select known fungal toxins and compounds, such as hallucinogens, psilocybin, and cannabinoids. Big surprise in writing this story, diving shrooms, they did not immediately respond to the story. Really?
Starting point is 00:07:02 That's a big surprise. So, they're still available. You can buy them online, and the FDA said, hey, maybe you shouldn't eat them. Might have an issue. Now, I would say, you know, if you are actually looking to lose consciousness,
Starting point is 00:07:19 have confusion, sleepness, agitation, abnormal heart rates, hypertension, nausea, and vomiting. Maybe you dive into the old Diamond Shrooms brand micro-dosing chocolate bars. But if you're not looking for that, you know, stay away from them. Wow, continuing on with our health and wellness edition
Starting point is 00:07:39 so far here on chewing the fat. A new study has found that regular exposure to loud aircraft noise could be linked to obesity. That damn Boeing. company is making people fat. I won't hear of it. Nurses, according to this study, who live near airports nationwide, who endured plane noises 45 decibels or greater, were 5% more likely to be obese. You know, I hear planes flying over my house every day, and maybe that's why I'm overweight. The risk of obesity with louder noise at 55 decibels or greater,
Starting point is 00:08:23 people had an 11% greater likelihood of having an obese level body mass. Prior research has shown that aircraft noise can elevate stress responses and disturb sleep. But there's been mixed evidence of any links with body mass index. Well, no longer. We're surprised to see a fairly robust link between aircraft noise and higher body mass index among women across the U.S. So it's mostly women. The studies authors analyzed nearly 75,000 nurses, responses to the bannual surveys,
Starting point is 00:09:03 detailing their BMIs and focused on those who lived near 90 major airports nationwide. They examined average aircraft noise levels, captured over a 24-hour period every five years from 1995 to 2010. So it's mostly women. And if you're living close to a, you know, a flight path of an airport, you're going to be fat and you're going to be obese. So maybe you want to move. That's all I'm saying. Maybe you want to move.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And if you're thinking about moving, you know, whether you're obese or not, you're going to need some help. And why not get the help of real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust pairs you with the best real estate agent in your area, someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands, someone who understands, the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer, and someone you can trust. And someone you can say, hey, I want to live away from a flight path so I can lose weight. So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home, or both, get in touch with them. You'll see what I mean. Real estate agents, I trust.com. I mean, the name pretty much says it all, real estate agents I trust.
Starting point is 00:10:17 You know, it was started a while ago because the guy that founded at Glenn Beck, couldn't sell his house. There was a house that he could not sell, and he ran through a multiple real estate agents who could not do the job. And it was very frustrating, and he finally sold it for a huge loss. And he decided that, wow, if he was having trouble with real estate agents,
Starting point is 00:10:42 other people might be as well. And enough of it. So he created real estate agents, I trust. And look, real estate agents I trust as I said they pair you with the best real estate agent in your area and that's most important if your area doesn't have an agent that is uh you know given special dispensation from real estate agents I trust there isn't one so get to real estate agents I trust dot com especially if you want to get away from those flight paths and stop being obese

Starting point is 00:11:57 and Rueuelly and Cepora Collection and other part of VIT. Procurry you see forma Stomberr for a better
Starting point is 00:12:02 So we have U.S. dock workers threatening to strike in that special. The union that represents more than 45,000 dock workers at ports throughout the U.S., canceled labor talks yesterday, and they're threatening a work stoppage to protest the use of automated machinery. Huh. So the union leader, Harold Daggett, which I am a big fan. of Harold, vowed the group would go on strike of a new contract with the ports is not reached by September 30th, so we have until September 30th when the current agreement expires. An October strike could add another wrinkle to the upcoming presidential election.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Yeah, no kidding. I'm not even worried about the presidential election. I'm worried about, I don't know, getting goods into this country. Plus, we're coming up holiday shopping. Remember, during COVID, that put us way behind when we had ships. sitting out at sea they couldn't get into the ports so we'll see that's not good I'm sure they'll get what they want
Starting point is 00:13:09 I'm not quite sure what automated machinery they're worried about at the docks I mean are we moving in robots at the docks to haul some of the goods around on the docks I don't think so we have the giant cranes offloading the cargo from the ships and we have you know, big moving vehicles that move the cargo containers around the dock to wherever
Starting point is 00:13:39 they're placed, unless it's robots, unless they're bringing in robots, which would not surprise me. So that's not good news, although I'm, you know, if the robots are going to do some of the work, now, you know me, I'm all for it. And I want my do bot in the home very, very soon. But again, that's just me. Also, a CNN staffers. Getting a little nervous over there. CNN just inked a new deal with the Associated Press. And they're going to use,
Starting point is 00:14:11 they'll be able to use copy on its website. Now, it did so. It cut ties with Associated Press I don't know, 14 years ago or whatever. So now staffers are like, oh, no. They're going to cut us loose. Yeah, well, the new boss has his strategic. vision to turn around the network as every boss does and trying to, you know, at least hang on to what they have.
Starting point is 00:14:39 CNN spokeswoman, who, you know, works for the new boss, denied that the new deal with the AP signified job cuts were on the way. This is going to allow our journalists to spend more time on enterprise reporting and less time on quick stories across the platforms. The goal is to enhance our editorial reach while allowing us to focus on key editorial priorities. Oh, isn't that special? That's good speak right there. The goal is to enhance our additional reach while allowing us to focus on key editorial priorities. What are those editorial priorities, by the way? I know, you know, the head guy there, what's his name, Thompson, right?
Starting point is 00:15:26 What's his, Mark Thompson? name? Yeah, he has said that the network faces an existential crisis. It deals with cord cutting and the shrinking cable TV business. Uh-huh. And we're looking at ways of doing what we do both better. It's also doing it less expensively. Right. And so less expensively means, uh, bye-bye. So we'll see if that actually comes to fruition or not. But they've probably, they've probably got They've got good concern to be worried because things are tough over there at CNN. And they had their worst ratings among primetime viewers in the most coveted demo by advertisers since 1991. So something, something is going to have to change.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Now, he did. This is Mark's five-point plan for CNN. that building our digital future, a global integrated multimedia news operation, future-proofing TV production, developing new sources of revenue and communication and culture. That's great.
Starting point is 00:16:44 I love that. Man, that is a bullet point from the boss. We need to build our digital future, a global integrated multimedia news operation. we need a future-proof TV production. What does that even mean? Developing new source future-proof. That means robots will be running the cameras,
Starting point is 00:17:03 which I'm sure most of them already are being run by robots, developing new sources of revenue and communication and culture. Yes, of course. And just like the spokesperson said, this is going to allow our journalists to spend more time on enterprise reporting and less time on quick stories across platforms. Our goal is to enhance our editorial reach while allowing us to focus on key editorial priorities.
Starting point is 00:17:35 So between that and the bullet plan, I think it's fixed. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink desperately. So I see where Bad Boys 4 will Smith's come back after the Chris Rock slap. It did pretty well at the box office. It had like 56 million domestic
Starting point is 00:18:06 and 104.6 million globally, which made it the number one movie of this past weekend. And the Garfield movie was number two. Earned a 10 million. It's got, I don't know, 68.6 million domestically. And the if has not even 100 million domestically.
Starting point is 00:18:27 I was told that was pretty good. The Watchers, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, my Planet of the Apes movie is still hanging in there. Number five, wow, they've got 149.8 million domestically. What are they getting globally for that now? Okay, $360 million globally. So that's hanging in there pretty good for my Planet of the Apes movie. And now that means we'll get a second one.
Starting point is 00:18:54 New problem. Furiosi was not. number eight with a little over a million yeah that uh i don't know it just did not look good to me i watched the previews at the theater and it just didn't look right something was off with it and apparently uh the people uh believe that as well the fall guy still hanging in there at number nine and strangers chapter one is uh coming in at 10th for the top movies wow number 10 $580,000 domestically. That's really not that good.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Okay, so those are your top movies. And I see that there's some new shows that I've been watching. The new Criminal Minds is out, Evolution on Paramount Plus, which I've been enjoying. This is Season 2. Not real sure. They released the first two episodes, and then now we have to wait one episode a week.
Starting point is 00:19:52 which is, you know, okay, I got it. Thank you. Once a week. Just like Mayor of Kingston with Jeremy Renner, which was really good, by the way. And I cannot wait for, you know, episode two to come out. But the criminal minds drops one a week and were evolution, season two. They're continuing on with this, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:15 it's obviously about serial killers, but they're continuing on with this one hunt for a particular serial killer. I don't know if that was a good idea. But that's what they're doing. So good for them. And I enjoy the heck out of it. Then I find out that we have Daryl Dixon coming out. Of course, you know, Talking Walking Dead will be about that.
Starting point is 00:20:35 That doesn't come out until September 29th. September 29th, I've got to wait for the Daryl Dixon, the Walking Dead, Daryl Dixon, the Book of Carol, which I'm looking forward to the Daryl Dixon show because season one was really, really good. But the Book of Carol, I don't know, we'll see. I'm going to wait until September 29th. And then I find out I'm really waiting for Dead City. And I thought Dead City would come out before Book of Carol.
Starting point is 00:21:09 No, that's not happening. They're saying maybe in 2025. So I don't know what's happening with the filming of Dead City, but it's moving pretty slow. And there's Uncle Joe. He's a moving kind of slow at the Joe. And then on Pat's show last week, we talked about how the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight was canceled. It is not canceled.
Starting point is 00:21:33 I called Mike Tyson a wuss on Pat's show last week for not fighting. Oh, I've got something. Oh, an ulcer. I can't fight. Well, since I called him a wuss, he has changed his mind. Good. Iron Mike is going to fight. There's a new date for the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight.
Starting point is 00:21:52 supposed to take place Friday, November 15th, same bat time, same bat channel, AT&T Stadium in Arlington slash DFW and live on Netflix. So that fight is still going on. And I don't apologize for calling you a wuss, Mike, because I thought for sure the way it was reported, you were a wuss. And, you know, you needed the time to heal. I got it. But to cancel the fight because it.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Have you a little ulcer flare up? No, that can't be. And obviously you realize that after I called you a wuss. You know, so yesterday we talked a little bit about Caitlin Clark and how she was not picked to be on the women's basketball team for the USA team in the Olympics. And how what I felt was a really unaware move from the Olympic Committee basketball coach team, whatever, who picks them.
Starting point is 00:22:50 And then they came out after such a... After such an uproar this weekend, announcing that she wasn't going to be on the team, they announced, well, she's a top alternate for Team USA. Sure, she didn't make the initial roster, but her and Brianna Jones are next up players. Should anybody drop out?
Starting point is 00:23:09 If I was Caitlin, I would tell them to take a hike. I'm not a, I'm sorry, no. I'm not a top alternate. Have a nice day. Then, yesterday, they released news, that the WNBA has reported its best early season TV viewership in league history and the highest attendance in 26 years. Huh.
Starting point is 00:23:36 That is strange. Attendance is up 156% from last year. More than half of all WNBA games this year have been sellouts. About 400,000 fans have attended WNBA games this season, filling WNBA arena. to 94% capacity. This year's televised games, ABC, ESPN, etc. are averaging 1.32 million viewers, nearly triple last season's average of 462,000.
Starting point is 00:24:04 WNBA countdown is averaging 741,000 viewers, which is a 211% increase from last year's full season coverage. The WNBA's online merchandise store has already set a single season sales record with four plus months left in the season, and sales are up 700 and to 50. percent compared to last year. WNBA's social channels garnered 157 million video views through the first week of the season, an all-time high, and up 380% compared to last year.
Starting point is 00:24:38 The WNBA set an all-time high for league pass subscriptions last month, with 355% increase versus last season. Huh, I wonder why that could be. Could it be, I don't know, due to the arrival of Caitlin Clark, the star of the league? No, no, it had to be just in part, right? It's all the other rookies that came on this year. And Angel Reese, I'm sure you're a big part of all of that. Couldn't be that it was just Caitlin Clark.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Look, yes, there are rookies that are playing better this year. But it's not because of you that these numbers have increased. I'm sorry, no. It is not. It is because of Caitlin Clark. And you all better figure that out real soon. 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. Who died today? Who died today?
Starting point is 00:26:01 We'll begin with the Reverend James Lawson, has passed away. at 95. He was a key architect of the civil rights movement. The Reverend James Lawson, a staunch advocate for nonviolent resistance to racism, even in the face of brutality. A Methodist minister and student of Gandhi, Lawson mentored civil rights leaders and was the tactician behind key desegregation campaigns in the South, including the Nashville sit-ins, the Freedom Rides, Birmingham Children's Crusade. The Reverend Martin Luther King called him the leading theorist and a strategist of non-violence. He said that when he met Martin Luther King Jr., he, Martin Luther King Jr. told him,
Starting point is 00:26:48 come to the South now. We found common ground. Don't wait. Come with me now. Rest in peace. The Reverend James Lawson, dead at the age of 95. He died after a brief short illness. not sure what that could be, but at 95, it did not bode well for the Reverend.
Starting point is 00:27:11 So rest in peace, Reverend James Lawson. You know, I was reading about his life and how he was for nonviolence and said he found Gandhi's teachings in line with the philosophy of his Christian faith, calling Jesus the super-athlete of non-violence. And there's no better weapon than that for bringing about personal and social change. You know, where are these people now in today's world? Just wondering. Just wondering where these nonviolent tacticians are in today's world.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Because they don't seem to exist. But the Reverend James Lawson, rest in peace, dead at the age of 95. Then we have LSU former Louisiana State University player, Josh Marevich, son of Pistol Pete Marevich, dead at the age of. of 42. Huh. He died at his home. No cause of death has been released. He played at LSU just like his dad, and his dad's been in the news as of late because he was the Division I scoring record for years. And then I wonder who beat his record. Oh, that's right, Caitlin Clark. Anyway, so his son was instrumental in getting his father's statue at LSU put together and obviously up outside of the
Starting point is 00:28:41 arena. So rest in peace, Josh Merivich dead at the age of 42. You know, another thing that kind of died was my dream today. Well, one of them. One of my dreams is, you know, winning the lotto. And, you know, I looked, there was a powerball drawing last night for. For, $222.6 million. So then I, you know, I log on to the Powerball website and I see estimated jackpot for the Wednesday drawing is down to $20 million. And I'm like, all right. So I got a shot.
Starting point is 00:29:16 And you scroll down and you see, you know, who won the jackpot. And they give you the states. They don't tell you. You know, obviously, they don't tell you who. And it says New Jersey. So you just kind of hang your head. Congratulations to New Jersey. someone in New Jersey, you won the $226.6 million jackpot, good for you.
Starting point is 00:29:38 All you have to do now is, you know, show your face when you decide whether you want to take the 30-year installments or you want to take the cash payout, which would be, I think, $110, $104.107 million is the cash payout. I wonder which one he takes or she. And so congratulations. And when you look down at the match five or power play, none. The another million dollar drawing? None. So, you know, maybe, maybe I want to, you know, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:15 A few thousand, maybe doubtful. I told you I won like six bucks the other day. And then you have the mega millions drawing tonight, the 11th of June, 24, for those of you listening live. And that's only $30 million. So that's just kind of, that's just kind of dirt. I mean, I don't even want to really play for $20 or $30 million. Anyway, you know how it goes. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Also, dreams are dying in California. It's reported that J-Lo and Ben Affleck are living separate lives. as the sources are saying divorce is imminent. Oh no. J-Lo 54, Ben 51, Benifer could be over. I know they've been living separate lives. Now, I guess they're not officially separated yet, but yeah, they are. I mean, she came home, canceled her concert tour to be with family and friends. There was no mention about being with Ben, although I guess he's family, right?
Starting point is 00:31:22 so apparently Ben is living at his place in Brentwood and outlets are reporting that J-Lo put the new house that they bought in Beverly Hills, that $60 million mansion that they just
Starting point is 00:31:37 bought for cash? Yeah, that's up for sale now. I guess that's what's being reported. So she's out looking for a new home because she wants to get rid of this dump. She can't live in that $60 million dump without been there.
Starting point is 00:31:56 It's tough. I know. It's got to be tough. It has to be tough. So, you know, I don't know. What's going on with Benefer? But things are not looking good. You know, they, and there's no way that Jalo, she's going to be all alone living in, well, with
Starting point is 00:32:15 her family, living in that 43,000 square foot house, 17 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms. Yeah. You can't live there without. Ben. So it could be over. Could be. I hope not. I want them to work it out because I, you know, I care. I care. And I don't
Starting point is 00:32:32 want, I don't want J-Lo to have to get rid of the dump at Beverly Hills. Ben, of course, is going to still keep his, you know, his pad at Brentwood. That's just, you know, for times when you have to be alone. Because you can't be alone in that 43,000 square foot house.
Starting point is 00:32:48 That's impossible. It's just too crowded some days. When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner?
Starting point is 00:33:22 A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners. fabulous for less.
Starting point is 00:33:36 All right, I see the Koreas are still fighting. South Korea has announced that it's going to restart loudspeaker broadcasts of anti-North Korea messages over the border. Following North Korea's delivery of an additional 330 trash and sewage-filled balloons, poop balloons, into South Korea this past weekend. So North Korea is still continuing to send poop balloons into South Korea. South Korea is a little pissed. So they're just going to start broadcasting loud speaker broadcast across the borders.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Why not just load up their own poop balloons and send them back? I don't understand. Oh, that would be mean? Okay, never mind. Speaking of poop balloons, I see where Moderna says its COVID flu combo shot is a winner. The biotech company that became a household name, after it developed a COVID-19 vaccine, says its new shot,
Starting point is 00:34:38 which combines COVID and influenza vaccines into one jab, is more effective than the existing standalone shots. That's after publishing late-stage trial data. Moderna will file for regulatory approval this summer, with the hope that the shot will be ready for Americans in 2025, so we don't get it this year. Gosh darn it. Rival FarmaGyans, Pfizer, and Novavax,
Starting point is 00:35:04 are also developing shots that combine COVID and flu vaccines. So that is great. Weird. I'm sorry, I tied that in with the poop balloons because it really has nothing to do with poop balloons. Or does it? So I saw a stat, I don't know, last week from using the year 1970, that really is kind of disturbing in my mind. And I was going to share it with you yesterday.
Starting point is 00:35:31 And I feel like I shared it with you yesterday. But then as I was looking at my show notes, I didn't. And then I get an email telling me that there's a story out there that shows the six extremely annoying songs from the 70s. So the 1970s have been, you know, on my show sheet for a while now. So there are the six songs that I guess are the most annoying songs from the 1970s. Paul Anka, you're having my baby from 1974. Yeah. Having my baby.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Oh, the night Chicago died by paper lace Again from 1974 Daddy was a cop On the East Side Chicago And then of course From 1975 Morris Albert
Starting point is 00:36:15 Feelings And now they're born They have feelings Oh my gosh And then again from 1975 Terry Jacks We had joy We have fun
Starting point is 00:36:29 We have seasons in the on oh my gosh and then George Baker selection is listed here with his hit from 1975 Una Polona Balanka
Starting point is 00:36:44 and that song has been in my head for quite some time now because of the Congresswoman what's her face I think from Florida I think she's from Florida Anna Paulina Luna and any time I hear
Starting point is 00:36:59 a story about Anna Paulina Lune All I can think of is Una, Paloma Blanca. That's just me? Yeah, probably it is. And then there's Ricky Deez. Oh, yeah, from 77.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Disco Duck. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, those are six songs that stick in your head. Now, the other songs, I mean, they use them in old shows and movies, so you still hear them from time to time. Although I don't know that you, disco duck really isn't something that you hear very, very few times without it, actually being thrown in your face is disco duck.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Okay, so here is the, this is the stat that got me really kind of thinking about, oh, man, that's a long time ago. So last week we did the thing with, you know, the Gen X. I think we did talk about this. Gosh, darn it, because I did talk about talking with Pat about the ages and what happened so far apart. Remember? Do you remember?
Starting point is 00:37:59 Because I don't. I'm just going to tell you this stat again, because I don't. Here's a stat that'll just, you know, I'll leave you with this, and you can, you know, go off into whatever dreamland you want to go off into. 1970 and 2024 are as far apart as 1970 and 1960. Wait, what? Yeah, I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:38:32 So, 1970 and 2024 are as far apart as 1970 and 1960s. And the stat that last week was talking, people talking today about the 1980s, or people are like the people in the 1980s talking about the 1940s. Oh, those two stats, kill me. So, 1970 and 2024 are as far apart as 1970, 1916 and 2024, talking about 1980. This is like people in the 80s talking about the 1940s. Oh, man. I got to go take a beer bath.
Starting point is 00:39:18 I didn't hit the lotto, so I don't know that I'm going to be able to afford the hop scrub in the tub. But I need the bath. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
