00:00:34.940 And then also, the tour is coming to Florida.

00:00:37.760 If you are in Florida or around the area, come visit us.

00:00:46.600 Those are going to be fun.

00:00:47.560 Yeah, that's going to be really fun. It's a fun show.

00:00:50.540 So today we kind of decided to kind of spend a little time on the day before Thanksgiving

00:00:54.900 thinking about things we were actually thankful for.

00:00:56.920 Some good news. We have some good news about the prosecution of terrorist networks across the world.

00:01:02.140 We have some good news about the world in general.

00:01:06.140 People are living longer and they are able to feed themselves like never before.

00:01:11.280 Violent crime is down.

00:01:12.240 Violent crime is down.

00:01:13.060 Violent law.

00:01:13.780 Diseases are being cut in half in many cases.

00:01:17.360 Even school shootings.

00:01:19.260 The stats on school shootings are worth the whole show, I think, today.

00:01:22.540 But most importantly, food is more prevalent.

00:01:27.860 I'm not surprised you're focusing on that, but yes, that is an important development.

00:01:31.200 We also talk about some movies.

00:01:32.900 We have Creed 2.

00:01:33.940 I saw it last night.

00:01:34.960 We have a kind of segment on that if you were looking for a movie this weekend.

00:01:38.100 Pat has a couple of recommendations as well we'll get into during the show.

00:01:41.220 And we do a special Thanksgiving edition of Spoons, the place that we sample the most delicious

00:01:48.860 new junk foods from around the country.

00:01:51.180 We have a very bizarre Thanksgiving dinner.

00:01:55.660 Turkey and gravy and pumpkin pie potato chips.

00:01:58.420 Capitalism is amazing.

00:02:01.780 And it does some strange things, too.

00:02:03.260 We may have discovered something magical today.

00:02:07.680 No, we kind of did.

00:02:08.380 There was no may have.

00:02:09.580 We did discover something magical.

00:02:11.460 You'll need to know about this.

00:02:12.420 It's coming up on today's podcast.

00:02:20.880 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:24.740 I feel like pizza at any time is a valuable addition to any particular moment.

00:02:34.700 Also, by the way, you can have a field of greens.

00:02:36.960 If you're going to eat like I'm going to eat this week, I think field of greens might

00:02:41.880 be a good choice for you because you might be skipping the vegetables.

00:02:44.740 You might be skipping.

00:02:45.800 Might?

00:02:46.440 Might.

00:02:46.720 I will be.

00:02:47.160 I will.

00:02:48.060 I was listening to you to talk about the gala the other day.

00:02:50.400 And you said the food was really good, so I decided to try the green bean.

00:02:55.980 And it was a huge mistake.

00:02:57.200 Yeah.

00:02:57.480 I almost threw up.

00:02:58.360 Because they're green beans.

00:02:59.180 Yes.

00:03:00.020 Yes.

00:03:00.700 You can just have the good food on your plate with field of greens and have a scoop of

00:03:04.660 this and, you know, it's a juice or even some foods.

00:03:06.980 You can do it at whatever it tastes.

00:03:08.120 It tastes good.

00:03:08.660 So you can mix it with a lot of stuff.

00:03:10.100 It's one of these super foods.

00:03:11.420 It's actually food.

00:03:12.400 It's not some crazy extract or some weird additive or whatever.

00:03:16.520 Check it out.

00:03:17.140 Field of greens from Brickhouse Nutrition.

00:03:19.740 Let's go to BrickhouseGlenn.com.

00:03:27.400 I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving.

00:03:29.440 Yeah.

00:03:29.520 You know, because like Wednesday, it's on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, you're already in that

00:03:34.540 mode.

00:03:35.600 Yes.

00:03:35.880 I'm just, I'm trying not to eat in that mode today because I feel like.

00:03:39.400 I'm trying not to as well.

00:03:40.520 It's hard, man.

00:03:41.360 It's almost impossible.

00:03:42.820 It's almost impossible.

00:03:43.980 There's food everywhere.

00:03:45.900 And after Thanksgiving, you think, okay, then, then now I'll come to the end of the

00:03:49.160 I'll cut back.

00:03:50.040 And then there's food everywhere again because you're preparing for Christmas.

00:03:54.060 And it's almost impossible.

00:03:57.240 Well, Thanksgiving is a day in which you eat a lot of food.

00:04:01.440 And you kind of don't care.

00:04:03.040 And that's okay.

00:04:03.860 Everyone kind of says, it's all right.

00:04:05.460 You know, you have your one day.

00:04:06.380 Now, over the years, I've expanded that from one day to 365 for me.

00:04:13.720 That's, yeah.

00:04:14.860 One day becomes every day.

00:04:17.260 Yeah.

00:04:17.480 Yeah.

00:04:18.040 So that's, you beat me to the punch there a little bit, I guess.

00:04:20.340 I, but I do feel the expansion happening because I started with one and then you get to four.

00:04:24.640 I feel like four is, is the right stew amount in a sensible world, right?

00:04:30.100 Like you have, you don't eat really badly until you get to Thanksgiving.

00:04:34.060 You have the Thanksgiving and then you live out and you party the weekend, right?

00:04:36.880 You party the weekend away.

00:04:37.880 You come back Monday.

00:04:38.660 You're, you're eating like a human being again.

00:04:40.740 Now, what always happens there, of course, is Wednesday.

00:04:44.380 I mean, come on.

00:04:45.160 It's Wednesday.

00:04:45.800 It's, it doesn't matter.

00:04:46.500 You're basically at Thanksgiving.

00:04:47.600 You might as well eat on Wednesday.

00:04:49.000 Right.

00:04:49.160 So then it goes Wednesday to Monday.

00:04:51.060 And then what happens is you come back Monday and you eat okay.

00:04:55.480 Mm-hmm.

00:04:56.100 And then Tuesday happens and you fall off the bandwagon.

00:04:58.800 And then you're like, ah, it's basically the week of Thanksgiving.

00:05:00.940 So then it goes from the previous Wednesday to not the next Monday, but the Monday after that.

00:05:06.820 And then you're almost to Christmas.

00:05:09.940 Yeah.

00:05:10.320 Right?

00:05:10.720 Yeah.

00:05:10.960 So then.

00:05:11.560 And there's parties.

00:05:12.560 There's parties.

00:05:13.300 You got the, you got the church party.

00:05:14.500 You got the work party.

00:05:15.600 Yep.

00:05:16.000 You got friends parties.

00:05:17.140 And we've got like stuff like the kids.

00:05:18.540 They got like breakfast with Santa.

00:05:20.380 You've got all the little events.

00:05:21.940 Mm-hmm.

00:05:22.040 So then you're going through that.

00:05:22.740 You might as well eat up until Christmas.

00:05:25.200 Well, just until Christmas.

00:05:26.520 Just until Christmas.

00:05:27.180 And then it's, you know.

00:05:27.820 But then the week between Christmas and New Year's.

00:05:30.740 It's a waste.

00:05:31.660 Ah.

00:05:32.100 You're not even going to get back to work.

00:05:32.880 You're going to be back eating on New Year's anyway.

00:05:35.080 So you might as well eat that week.

00:05:36.360 Right.

00:05:36.580 So then you go New Year's.

00:05:37.400 And then that's when you get the New Year's resolution.

00:05:39.020 It kicks in.

00:05:40.100 And you're like, okay, we're going to start.

00:05:41.420 Now, you're not going to start on the second most of the time.

00:05:43.440 Because a lot of times the second isn't a work day yet.

00:05:45.380 It's too depressing a day.

00:05:46.160 You need some ice cream that day.

00:05:47.480 This year it is a work day.

00:05:49.200 So you could come back on the second.

00:05:52.740 You're not going to start your diet on a Wednesday.

00:05:55.460 So you go Wednesday.

00:05:56.560 We wait for that next Monday.

00:05:59.000 And then you get on the scale that Monday.

00:06:00.860 And you're 35 pounds heavier.

00:06:01.960 Yeah, you've gained about 35 at that point.

00:06:03.700 Yeah.

00:06:04.000 Now, the problem here is this is when NFL playoffs kick in.

00:06:07.920 So every Sunday and Saturday there's games.

00:06:10.960 You've got to watch them.

00:06:11.860 What are you going to watch them?

00:06:12.460 Without pizza?

00:06:13.560 Well, no.

00:06:14.160 Without snacks. 1.00

00:06:14.680 That's stupid. 1.00

00:06:15.840 And then obviously Super Bowl. 1.00

00:06:17.620 So then you're February 6th or 7th in that range.

00:06:21.620 Well, then it's Valentine.

00:06:22.500 And then Valentine's Day, right?

00:06:23.700 I mean, what are you going to?

00:06:25.440 Not eat on Valentine's Day?

00:06:26.880 And to disrespect your own relationship?

00:06:28.660 No.

00:06:28.880 Your own marriage?

00:06:29.640 Better not.

00:06:30.340 You're not going to do that.

00:06:31.360 So then you're eating up until Valentine's Day.

00:06:34.060 And my birthday, by the way, is February 9th.

00:06:36.520 So in there I've got to, what am I going to do?

00:06:38.920 Not have the cake with my kids?

00:06:40.560 Right.

00:06:41.340 My daughter's birthday is also February 9th.

00:06:43.240 So we have two birthdays on that day.

00:06:44.920 You can't, you can't.

00:06:45.560 The next day is Glenn's birthday.

00:06:47.220 Well, you've got to have cake for Glenn's birthday.

00:06:48.980 Oh, yeah.

00:06:49.500 Because he's not going to eat it because he's on some weird diet probably.

00:06:52.940 You know, where he only eats 80 different things in the world.

00:06:56.900 He can only eat 80 things on the face of the earth.

00:06:59.660 And six of them are different types of squid, which is a weird, it's a strange diet.

00:07:04.820 It's a strange diet.

00:07:05.360 So for him, on his behalf, we have to have cake.

00:07:10.360 And so we do.

00:07:12.180 And then once you're in February, it's basically July 4th.

00:07:15.600 So you've got to ramp it up to get ready for those picnics.

00:07:19.980 What, are you not going to eat on the 4th of July?

00:07:22.500 You're not going to celebrate? 0.54

00:07:23.500 What are you, some sort of traitor to this nation? 0.89

00:07:25.560 Right. 0.95

00:07:26.060 I hope not.

00:07:26.760 I hope not.

00:07:27.400 Okay, ISIS, go ahead. 0.99

00:07:29.340 Go on a diet. 0.78

00:07:30.940 If I'm on a diet on the 4th of July, the terrorists win.

00:07:35.040 I won't do it.

00:07:36.480 I will not do it.

00:07:38.180 This is only a slight exaggeration, by the way.

00:07:40.580 Only a slight one.

00:07:41.680 It's not even an exaggeration for me.

00:07:44.680 This is how it happened.

00:07:45.600 This is how it happens.

00:07:46.560 Yeah.

00:07:46.700 You try, but you fail.

00:07:49.180 That's the whole point of that.

00:07:51.220 By the way, we do have some terrorism breaking news.

00:07:53.420 Today, maybe, Pat, we can come up with things we're thankful for.

00:07:56.840 I know it's a very standard thing, right?

00:08:00.840 Like where people would do that on the day before Thanksgiving.

00:08:03.080 But I thought maybe instead of doing like the,

00:08:05.040 I'm thankful for my family, and I'm thankful for...

00:08:11.940 That's stuff that's just boring, and everyone knows you're thankful for it.

00:08:14.900 Of course I'm thankful for my family.

00:08:16.700 I don't know if they're thankful for me, but, you know, I'm thankful for them.

00:08:21.580 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:08:30.180 It's wonderful to see Barack Hussein Obama back in the limelight.

00:08:35.460 Gosh, I have...

00:08:37.340 Well, I can't say I've missed him.

00:08:39.040 But, man...

00:08:40.840 And I can't say it's good to have him back either.

00:08:43.320 But I can say he is kind of back and omnipresent now again.

00:08:49.520 And he's doing a lot of speeches because he's making somewhat of a living, you could say, from doing these speeches.

00:08:56.840 Every time he shows up for an hour, he makes $400,000.

00:09:01.740 Now, $400,000 an hour is kind of a decent wage.

00:09:06.060 I don't know if you're aware of that.

00:09:07.620 Would you call it a living wage?

00:09:08.600 I'd call it a living wage.

00:09:10.000 Yes.

00:09:10.640 Yes, I would.

00:09:11.400 And then when Michelle shows up at a place, she makes $225,000, which is income inequality, it seems to me.

00:09:18.760 And that...

00:09:19.540 That's unbelievable.

00:09:20.860 Isn't that unbelievable?

00:09:21.520 She is making $175,000 less per hour than he is. 0.99

00:09:26.400 You know what it is, too?

00:09:28.160 Racism.

00:09:28.680 Racism.

00:09:29.260 You know why? 0.97

00:09:29.820 Because he's half white. 0.69

00:09:31.280 They're paying the white half more. 0.76

00:09:33.120 Yes!

00:09:34.220 Thank you.

00:09:34.880 That's unbelievable.

00:09:35.720 It is unbelievable.

00:09:38.400 Here's his latest thing.

00:09:39.960 And this is...

00:09:40.620 I mean...

00:09:41.520 People say he's talking about Trump.

00:09:43.620 He's really talking about all of us here.

00:09:45.320 This isn't just about Trump.

00:09:46.800 Listen to how he phrases this.

00:09:48.020 Right now, I could take off-the-shelf existing technologies.

00:09:52.160 We could reduce carbon emissions by, let's say, 30%.

00:09:56.180 Let's say that.

00:09:57.440 Without any...

00:09:58.620 It's not like we'd all have to go back to caves and live off fire.

00:10:05.480 We could have electricity and smartphones and all that stuff, which would buy us probably another 20, 30 years for that technological breakthrough that's necessary.

00:10:15.600 The reason we don't do it is because...

00:10:19.040 It's because...

00:10:20.060 We are still...

00:10:22.820 Still...

00:10:23.600 Confused, blind...

00:10:26.400 Uh-huh.

00:10:26.920 Blind, confused.

00:10:27.780 Shrouded with...

00:10:28.900 With...

00:10:29.900 Hate, anger.

00:10:31.380 Anger, I see.

00:10:32.460 Hmm.

00:10:32.780 Racism.

00:10:33.820 What?

00:10:34.140 Racism?

00:10:34.940 Is stopping green technology...

00:10:36.600 Mommy issues.

00:10:37.660 Mommy issues.

00:10:39.400 I mean...

00:10:40.700 What?

00:10:41.440 What?

00:10:41.920 You know, we are...

00:10:44.500 We are fraught...

00:10:46.260 Fraught.

00:10:47.120 ...with stuff.

00:10:50.100 Now, I have to say, I dislike this guy.

00:10:56.080 I don't hate him.

00:10:57.320 I want to make that clear.

00:10:58.300 I don't hate him.

00:10:58.860 I don't hate anybody.

00:10:59.320 No, of course not.

00:11:00.120 I just dislike him with all the intensity of a billion white-hot-burning suns.

00:11:06.040 Okay.

00:11:06.740 But that's just...

00:11:07.580 But not hate.

00:11:07.600 It's not hate.

00:11:08.400 It's just extreme...

00:11:10.880 Extremely intense dislike.

00:11:14.440 We should also focus on the idea that this is an incredibly bad point.

00:11:19.080 Right?

00:11:19.240 Like...

00:11:19.520 Yes!

00:11:20.120 First of all, yes, we have the technology to lower emissions by 30%.

00:11:23.040 At what cost?

00:11:24.020 Right.

00:11:24.240 That's the conversation here.

00:11:25.640 And whether it's worth doing at that cost.

00:11:27.300 But the reason we don't do it is we're fraught with hate, anger, and mommy issues?

00:11:32.140 Race and racism?

00:11:32.940 What the hell are you talking about? 0.99

00:11:34.500 Are we racist against green? 0.99

00:11:35.980 Like, is that the case?

00:11:38.220 It's green technology?

00:11:40.420 That's so strange.

00:11:42.620 And it's such an easy explanation for every issue that progressives don't get what they want.

00:11:47.620 Yeah.

00:11:47.780 It's racism.

00:11:48.560 It's hate.

00:11:49.060 It's mommy issues. 0.94

00:11:50.260 It's...

00:11:50.540 I mean...

00:11:50.900 You know, it's the... 0.99

00:11:52.220 That's pathetic. 1.00

00:11:52.700 ...clinging to God and guns. 1.00

00:11:54.380 It's the same...

00:11:54.800 It's the same explanation he uses all the time. 0.98

00:11:56.540 Typical white people... 0.97

00:11:57.420 Typical white people... 0.99

00:11:58.620 ...who have a certain reaction to black people bred into them. 0.99

00:12:01.940 Yeah. 0.79

00:12:02.700 You talk about racist issues.

00:12:04.200 This guy's got him in...

00:12:05.820 ...to, like, the 10th power.

00:12:07.980 Yes.

00:12:09.160 He's got him.

00:12:09.860 He does.

00:12:10.580 I mean, look.

00:12:11.920 It's constant focus on race.

00:12:13.400 We've made this point back in the day with Glenn.

00:12:15.160 All right?

00:12:15.340 Like, it's...

00:12:15.980 It's not...

00:12:16.960 You know, racism is a weird thing to throw around.

00:12:19.660 And I...

00:12:19.960 You know, the left has no problem doing it all the time.

00:12:22.040 When someone on the right says something is racist, it's got...

00:12:24.320 It's the biggest controversy on earth.

00:12:26.160 But, I mean, the bottom line is he's constantly viewing everything through a racial...

00:12:29.880 The man just told you the reason we don't use solar panels is because of racism.

00:12:34.440 How can you deny this?

00:12:35.780 That's unreal.

00:12:36.780 This is exactly how he looks through about every issue.

00:12:38.680 And it's...

00:12:39.300 It's completely all over the left.

00:12:42.080 You know, you look at...

00:12:42.700 Yeah.

00:12:42.960 Watch a Chris Matthews show.

00:12:44.400 A guy can't go five minutes without calling somebody racist.

00:12:46.740 It's just...

00:12:47.200 It's just the way these things happen.

00:12:48.920 And I don't mean to...

00:12:49.800 On a holiday weekend tell you to watch Chris Matthews.

00:12:52.040 That's not a good idea.

00:12:52.740 I take that back.

00:12:53.880 I take that back.

00:12:55.060 That's a bad one, though.

00:12:56.020 That's a bad one.

00:12:56.820 Oh, that's agonizing.

00:12:58.140 You know, it makes me think, you know, we've been talking a little bit about Michelle Obama

00:13:01.000 and his potential run.

00:13:03.660 I don't know.

00:13:04.460 I don't think they can stay away from this stuff.

00:13:06.460 Oh, they can't.

00:13:06.940 They can't.

00:13:07.360 They can't avoid it.

00:13:08.420 No, they can't.

00:13:08.540 I don't know if that would work.

00:13:14.680 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

00:13:18.280 Like listening to this podcast?

00:13:24.480 If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.

00:13:27.780 And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.

00:13:30.740 So let's talk about Relief Factor for a moment, if we should, Pat.

00:13:34.620 All right.

00:13:34.860 Pat, Relief Factor is a...

00:13:37.440 I mean, it's something that's changed Glenn's life for the better.

00:13:41.260 For over four years, Relief Factor has been helping people here at The Blaze with pain.

00:13:46.080 You know, if you have that kind of consistent nagging sort of pain, a lot of that's caused

00:13:50.560 by inflammation.

00:13:51.980 And Relief Factor is a great way to fight against that.

00:13:55.760 If you're one of the people who, like, if you've got little kids, you're chasing them

00:13:58.500 around all the time.

00:13:59.240 You've got little grandkids you're chasing around all the time. 1.00

00:14:01.460 You want to play tennis or golf or whatever, and you keep having pain, Relief Factor is a

00:14:06.260 great thing to try.

00:14:06.940 They've got a three-week quick start that makes it really easy.

00:14:09.420 So for $19.95, they'll send you three weeks of it.

00:14:12.220 This is when you're going to start feeling the difference.

00:14:13.780 And if it works for you, you can continue with it.

00:14:17.220 70% of people, it's over 70% actually, wind up buying more once they get the three-week

00:14:23.360 quick start.

00:14:23.980 It's working for them.

00:14:24.980 Let's see if it will work for you.

00:14:26.320 If you want a drug-free and natural way to ease your pain, go to ReliefFactor.com.

00:14:30.800 ReliefFactor.com is the place to go.

00:14:33.860 Glenn uses it.

00:14:35.080 A lot of people here at The Blaze do as well.

00:14:37.160 ReliefFactor.com.

00:14:38.120 We've been talking a little bit about the things we're thankful for that are actually

00:14:42.420 positive, some positive news in the world.

00:14:45.120 We've pointed out a few of them already.

00:14:47.080 Certainly, Creed II would be one of those things I'm thankful for.

00:14:50.160 But there's, let me give you this.

00:14:51.780 This is from the Wall Street Journal.

00:14:52.780 Matt Ridley wrote this.

00:14:54.560 He, this is an amazing thing.

00:14:56.900 And I know you know the answer to this, but I think the second part of it is fascinating.

00:15:00.580 A Swedish statistician, public health expert, began asking people the question, has the

00:15:07.000 percentage of the world population that lives in extreme poverty, has it almost doubled or

00:15:12.800 almost halved or stayed the same over the past 20 years?

00:15:15.980 Now, I think you know the answer there, Pat, and I think some people in the audience might

00:15:19.200 know the answer, which is it's almost halved in the past 20 years, again, in our lifetime.

00:15:25.380 And you got to believe the perception among especially young people, I'm guessing, is that

00:15:29.380 it's doubled, right?

00:15:31.220 Poverty is doubled.

00:15:32.040 It's doubled.

00:15:32.540 And I think the vast majority of people might think that.

00:15:35.360 But the percentage is amazing.

00:15:36.600 Only 5% got the answer right.

00:15:39.640 Wow.

00:15:40.780 5%.

00:15:41.180 Wow.

00:15:41.820 Now, think of the achievement that this is.

00:15:44.040 It's one of the greatest achievements in human history.

00:15:48.000 Okay?

00:15:48.200 Oh, definitely.

00:15:48.860 The people who are in extreme poverty, cut it by half in two decades?

00:15:53.760 That's insane.

00:15:55.440 That should not be possible.

00:15:56.640 And almost every, I don't think it was believed to be possible 20 years ago.

00:16:01.340 And here we are 20 years later, it's happened and nobody notices.

00:16:04.120 Only 5% of Americans are aware of it, which is fascinating.

00:16:10.740 And, you know, his story is about how people are drawn to negative news.

00:16:16.920 People are drawn to think the worst.

00:16:19.040 But, you know, it's kind of the fight or flight thing, I think, at some level.

00:16:21.160 Like, you're concerned about something.

00:16:23.760 They ran tests on, you know, experiments on, psychologists ran them on people in sort of random tests.

00:16:29.600 And they would get people who said they wanted good news.

00:16:33.260 They wanted the good news.

00:16:34.980 And then, when they had the opportunity, always gravitated to the negative news.

00:16:40.180 And maybe that's, you know, like it's a survival instinct at some level.

00:16:42.740 Like, you want to try to survive and so you're worried about whatever threat might be out there.

00:16:50.340 So you're looking at negative stories more routinely.

00:16:54.820 But it is strange that we are like that.

00:16:58.100 It's hard to enjoy life when you're like that.

00:17:00.920 And you look at the numbers that go through.

00:17:03.700 And if you have a copy of, give me a copy.

00:17:05.480 You got a copy of Addicted to Outrage over there.

00:17:07.140 If you have a copy of Addicted to Outrage, you'll see this in the book.

00:17:11.540 The stats in here are quite amazing.

00:17:15.760 This is a, to see how far we've come, to see how far the globe has come, but also the United States, is really amazing.

00:17:24.460 People who are considered poor in the United States, the number is, I mean, we're talking about major, major things that weren't even available.

00:17:33.100 Matt Ridley talks about this in his book, The Rational Optimist, which is a book I really like.

00:17:38.700 And he talks about King Louie.

00:17:41.260 And, you know, King Louie back in the day, what would he do?

00:17:44.920 He could have anything he wanted.

00:17:46.840 So what he would do is every night when it was time for dinner, he would order his servants.

00:17:52.640 You're talking about the orangutan in Jungle Book?

00:17:55.540 Yes.

00:17:56.020 King Louie, that one?

00:17:57.220 Yeah.

00:17:57.380 Okay.

00:17:57.420 And so he would have his big, like, king-like medieval table, right?

00:18:02.480 And it would be that, you know, your long rectangular table.

00:18:06.300 And people would, he would direct his servants every night to bring him every kind of food available.

00:18:15.200 So it was every, they would make all the different kinds of foods.

00:18:18.640 They would bring all the different kinds of fruits and vegetables that were available.

00:18:22.520 All the foods that he could possibly want.

00:18:25.520 And he was the king.

00:18:27.400 He could do whatever he wanted.

00:18:28.560 And so he brought everything.

00:18:29.920 And, you know, he would eat, obviously, he couldn't eat all of the foods.

00:18:32.340 He would eat a little bit of it.

00:18:33.240 And the rest would be, you know, either thrown away or given to the staff or whatever.

00:18:37.000 But he got to choose whatever he wanted first. 0.99

00:18:39.320 Because he was the freaking king. 0.98

00:18:41.080 We now have that at Golden Corral. 0.98

00:18:44.060 Yeah.

00:18:44.380 Any person who wants to spend $8 can go to Golden Corral and eat as much as they want.

00:18:48.680 Every grocery store you walk into has thousands and thousands more choices than King Louie could have ever had.

00:18:55.160 Oh, my gosh.

00:18:56.320 And not to mention the quality of it.

00:18:57.780 Yeah.

00:18:58.420 Right.

00:18:58.940 You know?

00:18:59.520 I mean, King Louie didn't have red velvet Oreos.

00:19:03.580 Really?

00:19:04.220 Yeah.

00:19:04.580 Are you sure?

00:19:05.320 They didn't.

00:19:05.740 No wonder all those people died.

00:19:07.320 Oh, my gosh.

00:19:08.300 Was it the plague or was it suicide?

00:19:10.040 I don't know. 0.98

00:19:11.020 You were just like, ah, screw it.

00:19:12.080 Where are the Oreos?

00:19:13.080 But, I mean, seriously, like you have more choices now.

00:19:15.720 And it can be afforded by almost everybody in the United States to go eat almost anything you want all the time.

00:19:22.760 We have this giant problem now with obesity rather than starvation.

00:19:28.100 That is not something that has been common in the world's history.

00:19:31.900 Yeah.

00:19:32.060 And it's, you know what?

00:19:33.100 It's still not as common in the rest of the world as it is here.

00:19:36.400 No.

00:19:36.540 I mean, go to Bulgaria and see if you have the choices that the United States of America does.

00:19:41.000 No.

00:19:41.460 With the constitution we have and the form of, and the kind of economy we have here.

00:19:47.840 Yeah.

00:19:48.000 With capitalism, with the free market.

00:19:49.920 That's true.

00:19:50.540 It's, all of these things are better here, right?

00:19:53.320 Yes.

00:19:53.440 But, I mean, even in Bulgaria, you can go to a restaurant in which, quote, unquote, servants will come and, servers instead of servants, but they'll come and they'll bring you food that has been prepared and you get to order anything you want off a menu.

00:20:05.460 And you don't have to do the dishes afterwards.

00:20:07.060 Right.

00:20:07.940 I mean, yes, you have a pretty good deal.

00:20:09.180 But that's a pretty good deal.

00:20:10.360 This is from Addicted to Outrage.

00:20:11.960 For all of eternity, man was able to stay alive without a refrigerator, electricity, radio, microwave, or color television.

00:20:19.260 It might have been hot, sticky, and a lot less entertaining, but survival was possible.

00:20:22.800 Today, each of these self-evident luxury items, when measured against all of human history, are owned by between 96.3% and 99.3% of all households.

00:20:34.560 Jeez, wow.

00:20:36.160 These are, that's amazing.

00:20:38.280 The computer, when Bill Clinton was elected, this is not that long ago.

00:20:41.560 I mean, it is, it's a while.

00:20:43.540 I mean, if you watch the Lewinsky thing, you realize it, I mean, just by the quality of the video back then, before HD, you realize how it feels a lot longer ago than it was.

00:20:52.000 But when Bill Clinton was elected, only 20% of American households had a computer.

00:20:56.700 When Barack Obama left office, more than 80% had a computer.

00:21:03.080 And the 20% that didn't have one, it wasn't largely because, well, they couldn't afford a computer or the computers weren't available enough.

00:21:10.300 It was because more than half had a tablet.

00:21:13.040 Oh, yeah.

00:21:13.480 Almost everyone had a smartphone far more powerful than any computer even available during the Clinton years.

00:21:20.600 You think King Louis had computers?

00:21:22.840 No.

00:21:23.400 No, he didn't.

00:21:24.000 But this is just back in the Clinton years.

00:21:26.040 People didn't have them.

00:21:27.320 The average price of land that produces, or excuse me, the average piece of land that produces corn now yields 8.6 times as much corn as it did during World War II.

00:21:36.640 8.6 times as much.

00:21:39.340 Wow.

00:21:39.860 To think about all the people we had to feed, think about all the environmentalists who've warned us over the years that massive people were going to starve because we wouldn't be able to produce as much food.

00:21:49.300 Well, now that piece of land is doing 8.6 times as much, which is only positive if you like corn.

00:21:54.480 I understand that.

00:21:55.540 You might not like it.

00:21:56.800 But, I mean, feeding people is pretty freaking important.

00:21:59.460 And we're able to do that like we've never been able to do it before.

00:22:02.800 The portion of the U.S. population that is homeless and unsheltered, around the world it's 20%.

00:22:09.440 In the U.S., 0.1%.

00:22:13.180 That is a stunning statistic.

00:22:17.780 200 times worse around the world.

00:22:19.940 Wow.

00:22:20.340 And we question capitalism.

00:22:22.240 We question the free market.

00:22:24.420 It's 200 times worse.

00:22:27.180 That's amazing.

00:22:27.940 Amazing.

00:22:28.460 That's amazing.

00:22:28.940 The homicide rate in the United States has dropped by about half from the levels of the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

00:22:35.840 While the media constantly warns of the epidemic of rape culture, the rate of forcible rape has dropped by over 30% since the 90s, even in Hollywood, apparently.

00:22:44.880 As we talk about the caravan that's in Tijuana now, you know what the murder rate in, you know what the murder number in Tijuana so far this year is?

00:22:53.140 It's over 2,200 people murdered in a town of 1.6 million.

00:22:57.460 2,200.

00:22:58.720 You know what the number is in 8 million resident New York City this year?

00:23:02.920 No.

00:23:03.820 147.

00:23:04.700 Oh, my gosh.

00:23:05.440 147 compared to over 2,200 in Tijuana.

00:23:10.140 But we definitely shouldn't have a border wall.

00:23:11.780 I want to make sure that's clear.

00:23:12.800 We don't want to keep that separate from us.

00:23:14.520 I mean, it's unbelievable.

00:23:15.820 And the strides that we've made in reducing crime like that in this country are unbelievable.

00:23:22.160 And, yes, it's still too high.

00:23:24.260 You don't want 147 people to be murdered in New York or anywhere else.

00:23:27.700 Of course.

00:23:28.380 But that's an amazing achievement because the number used to be over 2,000 in New York.

00:23:33.700 It was basically Tijuana.

00:23:35.000 It was.

00:23:35.680 Except more people, so the ratio wasn't as bad.

00:23:37.980 But still, it was the same amount of murder.

00:23:39.420 It was bad for us back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

00:23:43.800 And we've made unbelievable strides since then.

00:23:48.280 Incredible.

00:23:49.680 Perhaps the most surprising, and I know this as a parent of two small kids going to school.

00:23:55.540 You know, one of these school shootings happened, and, you know, you can't help but freak out a little bit.

00:23:59.720 You can't help but, you know, you just don't want that to happen to your kid.

00:24:02.720 And it seems like it's just like this foreign thing that has come out of nowhere. 0.98

00:24:05.900 And while, obviously, I'm not for the gun restrictions and the kind of silliness that the left suggests for such a thing. 0.96

00:24:12.800 I mean, how ridiculous is this? 0.79

00:24:14.220 You're going to ban, let's say you ban AR-15s, right? 1.00

00:24:17.020 So then people with $1,200 to spend on guns instead buy, what, three or four different guns, you know, with the same amount of money.

00:24:24.640 Yes.

00:24:24.840 So there's, at the end of the day, more guns on the street.

00:24:27.200 This is what happened in the 90s when they tried an assault weapons ban.

00:24:29.620 More guns on the street after it than before it.

00:24:31.840 And, by the way, the kind of guns that are responsible for most murders in this country.

00:24:35.820 Most murders are from handguns.

00:24:39.040 Overwhelmingly handguns.

00:24:39.680 They're not from rifles?

00:24:41.080 Right. 1.00

00:24:41.460 Which is, it's just so, it's so stupid. 1.00

00:24:44.580 It's such a, I mean, like, but it's stupid with a understandable emotional backing. 1.00

00:24:51.280 Yeah. 1.00

00:24:51.580 Right?

00:24:51.760 Like, I get it.

00:24:52.800 When I see these things, I feel the same way.

00:24:54.640 I have kids.

00:24:55.700 I want this to stop.

00:24:57.420 It's heart-wrenching.

00:24:58.600 It's terrible.

00:24:59.460 Mm-hmm.

00:24:59.800 But this is, this number, I will say, shocked me more than any number that we had talked

00:25:05.080 about as going through and putting this book together.

00:25:09.020 The number of school shootings has dropped dramatically.

00:25:13.500 Has dropped dramatically.

00:25:15.680 The rate of students killed per million in fatal school shootings has dropped by over 75%.

00:25:22.580 That's really something.

00:25:24.100 That is shocking to me.

00:25:25.460 And hard to believe because you would think it's triple what it used to be.

00:25:29.560 Yeah.

00:25:30.140 The way the media handles this, the stories.

00:25:32.680 Yeah.

00:25:33.020 And we start buying into it.

00:25:35.060 I mean, you know.

00:25:35.860 You do.

00:25:36.140 It's hard not to.

00:25:37.240 Yeah.

00:25:37.540 You get beat over the head by it all the time.

00:25:38.940 Yeah.

00:25:39.200 And the emotion is certainly there.

00:25:41.740 But I mean, because have you heard that stat on CNN or even Fox?

00:25:44.480 No.

00:25:44.880 No.

00:25:45.220 No.

00:25:45.340 I mean, I haven't.

00:25:46.660 You don't.

00:25:47.860 Now, this is, researchers at Northeastern, the ones that put this together, said that this

00:25:51.720 means, quote, four times the number of children were killed in schools in the early

00:25:55.360 90s as today.

00:25:56.720 Wow.

00:25:57.200 Four times.

00:25:57.980 And this is what was fascinating to me.

00:26:00.800 I was in high school in the 90s.

00:26:02.620 That's when I was there.

00:26:04.100 When I was in school.

00:26:05.380 Yeah, you too.

00:26:06.080 Me too.

00:26:06.400 When we were in school, Pat.

00:26:07.000 Late 90s, though.

00:26:08.140 You know, because I think you were.

00:26:09.440 Oh, I was early 90s.

00:26:10.320 Yeah.

00:26:10.420 Yeah.

00:26:10.460 Okay.

00:26:10.640 But the point is, I was, when I was in school with absolutely no fear of a school shooting

00:26:19.680 ever.

00:26:20.160 Oh, I know.

00:26:20.860 Ever.

00:26:21.480 I was four times as likely to be killed in a school shooting than the kids are today.

00:26:25.780 Absolutely amazing.

00:26:26.880 That is incredible.

00:26:27.780 It's an amazing statistic.

00:26:28.840 That's something to be thankful for.

00:26:30.260 Yes.

00:26:30.600 That's an incredible improvement.

00:26:34.020 There, and as they, as they summarize it, quote, there is not an epidemic of school shootings,

00:26:40.280 end quote.

00:26:41.420 This is not a conservative.

00:26:42.660 This is Northeastern University.

00:26:43.960 Yeah, that's not done by the Republican Party.

00:26:45.980 No.

00:26:46.620 Not at all.

00:26:48.080 And that is, I mean, that is really, truly amazing.

00:26:51.120 And what we've seen, I think, and part of what explains that, is we've seen a rise in

00:26:55.580 the large number of, like, the mass incident event, right, where someone goes in and shoots

00:27:01.700 10 people.

00:27:02.680 Yeah.

00:27:02.940 And a lot of it was more spread out, but in a way, that's more dangerous, right?

00:27:06.440 Like, if you happen to be the incredibly unlucky person who happens to be at a school where

00:27:12.180 a mass school shooting goes out, I mean, it's, I mean, the odds against it are incredible.

00:27:17.340 So the mass shootings are up?

00:27:19.200 Mass shootings are, I, this is, I don't have the stats in here.

00:27:22.080 But the smaller shootings in more places are way, way, way down.

00:27:25.960 Way, way, way, way, way down.

00:27:27.640 And so you are probably, you know, you're going to be more likely for your school to be involved

00:27:31.820 in a death back then by a ton of times.

00:27:35.420 Now, mass shootings overall, the peak was actually in the late 20s when you talk about mass shootings

00:27:41.300 in general.

00:27:42.560 But, you know, there are different varieties of this statistic and you can find it.

00:27:47.640 But again, they're down since the 90s, all of them.

00:27:50.820 And, you know, because we've had a great amount of improvement.

00:27:54.060 How about this?

00:27:54.540 If you're of a certain age, you may remember being terrified of polio, right?

00:27:59.640 Yeah.

00:28:00.160 1952, there were 57,879 cases of polio in the United States.

00:28:04.500 In 2017, there were zero.

00:28:09.060 It's amazing.

00:28:10.060 Zero.

00:28:10.620 Completely wiped out in this country.

00:28:12.080 And that's because of the vaccine that you took as a sugar cube when I was a kid.

00:28:15.840 That's amazing.

00:28:16.660 Yeah.

00:28:17.600 Among men in the United States, if you're a dude, you're going to be happy about some of this.

00:28:22.200 Death rates from colon cancer have dropped by 30%.

00:28:24.940 Oh, that's another thing I would think was way up.

00:28:27.080 Yeah, right?

00:28:27.640 Because that's now all you hear.

00:28:28.640 You hear about having to get checked every six, you know, minutes, apparently.

00:28:32.660 Lung cancer has dropped by 40%.

00:28:35.400 Prostate cancer, again, another one of those that you'd think was up, has dropped by 45%.

00:28:40.680 Wow.

00:28:41.300 Death from stomach cancer has dropped by 50%.

00:28:44.060 All since 1990.

00:28:47.200 How about breast cancer?

00:28:48.220 We wear a lot of pink socks on the football field.

00:28:50.720 You got pink socks and pink pants, and that's going on, and that's great.

00:28:54.380 You know, I don't like the pink uniforms in football.

00:28:58.340 But, I mean, the donations are great.

00:28:59.760 Among women, the death rate from breast cancer has dropped by 35%.

00:29:03.960 Wow.

00:29:05.080 Wow.

00:29:05.820 That's all really, really freaking good news that we never, ever contemplate anymore.

00:29:12.520 Definitely stuff to be thankful for.

00:29:14.720 And you would never guess it.

00:29:16.140 And I think part of that, though, is the 24-hour news cycle.

00:29:19.320 I think part of that is there's so much news that's disseminated, and you hear about it all the time.

00:29:26.160 And everything that happens, you hear about it nonstop.

00:29:34.280 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:29:36.280 Home title lock is, if you're going to have Thanksgiving dinner, you're probably going to have it at home.

00:29:53.120 You might want to have that home protected.

00:29:54.580 And we've talked a lot about all the different ways to prepare, whether it's food storage or a security system in your home.

00:30:00.500 But this is one you may not have thought of.

00:30:02.360 Home title fraud is one of the fastest-growing crimes in America because titles and mortgages are stored online where thieves all over the world can hunt them.

00:30:10.140 And once they get them, they can do quick transfers and make it so they can borrow money against your equity.

00:30:15.280 They can even sell your home.

00:30:16.700 Don't be a victim of home identity theft.

00:31:11.640 I forgot about that.

00:31:12.860 This is great.

00:31:14.880 I want that one.

00:31:16.100 That's awesome.

00:31:16.620 I need to be.

00:31:17.240 That's awesome.

00:31:17.920 You can get it at shop.theblaze.com.

00:31:19.980 They have a big Black Friday sale going on, too.

00:31:21.860 They do.

00:31:22.480 Check it out.

00:31:23.500 Jeffy, we have a special edition of Spoons.

00:31:26.540 Now, if you're not a long-term fan of the program or the network, you might not know Spoons,

00:31:31.140 but Spoons was a segment we did and gained about 50 pounds doing during the Pat and Stu show.

00:31:37.060 We've all lost weight since we stopped doing Spoons.

00:31:39.300 It's weird.

00:31:39.960 It's amazing.

00:31:40.460 It's weird.

00:31:41.040 Oddly surprising.

00:31:41.560 It started as, you know, we should try some strange different foods just for, you know,

00:31:45.360 a cute little segment.

00:31:46.920 And then it went from, you know, let's just eat every day.

00:31:49.700 Spoons.

00:31:50.040 And it was named Spoons because it was the only word Jeffy could say.

00:31:54.680 At the time.

00:31:56.040 Spoons.

00:31:56.760 Yes.

00:31:57.260 So, we named it that.

00:31:59.220 We did.

00:31:59.660 So, we have a Thanksgiving-themed spoon.

00:32:02.740 Should we start there, Jeffy, before we get to your stories of the day?

00:32:04.960 Okay.

00:32:05.320 All right.

00:32:05.660 So, we have a full Thanksgiving dinner in potato chip form.

00:32:11.720 Wow.

00:32:12.340 We start with turkey and gravy-flavored potato chips.

00:32:15.120 Nice.

00:32:15.980 Limited time only at 7-Eleven.

00:32:19.020 Oh, that's disappointing.

00:32:19.920 I can only get this for the Thanksgiving season.

00:32:23.320 What about Christmas?

00:32:24.260 This one that I'm not going to partake in.

00:32:26.020 What?

00:32:26.220 Oh, you're not?

00:32:26.740 No, this is not going to go down my...

00:32:28.020 Why not?

00:32:28.520 It's just flavored.

00:32:29.780 It's not actual meat.

00:32:31.580 You know.

00:32:32.340 Okay.

00:32:32.700 So, this is Thanksgiving and gravy.

00:32:34.640 Yes.

00:32:35.180 So, this is your main meal.

00:32:36.080 And potato.

00:32:36.640 I would say mashed potatoes in there.

00:32:37.800 Turkey is great.

00:32:39.220 Because, you know, it's potato.

00:32:41.960 How's that blend?

00:32:42.740 The face of Pat does not look particularly pleased with these potato chips.

00:32:46.160 I mean, it's not bad, but I'm not really getting turkey and gravy from it.

00:32:50.020 What are you getting?

00:32:50.680 Can you describe?

00:32:51.920 Potato chip salty and...

00:32:53.900 Kind of blech.

00:32:54.560 Yeah, it doesn't...

00:32:57.160 I mean, it's certainly not screaming turkey and gravy.

00:33:00.300 Is it to you, Jeffy?

00:33:01.320 No.

00:33:02.120 No.

00:33:03.760 They had a sausage and peppers chip for a while at 7-Eleven.

00:33:06.880 7-Eleven is like...

00:33:07.980 They're becoming like food laboratories over there.

00:33:09.720 They're just constantly coming out with new crazy flavors of chips and stuff.

00:33:12.540 So, if you're near one, it's worth stopping by every once in a while just to check what crazy thing they've come up with.

00:33:17.480 Turkey and gravy, eh?

00:33:18.540 What do you think?

00:33:18.840 It almost just tastes like a normal potato chip to me.

00:33:22.780 I'm not kidding.

00:33:23.400 I don't get turkey and gravy.

00:33:24.700 Okay.

00:33:25.120 So, what's your...

00:33:25.760 You have a...

00:33:26.220 Our scale is 1 to 18.

00:33:27.760 What is your scale?

00:33:28.320 Look at that.

00:33:31.860 9.

00:33:32.400 9.

00:33:33.020 9.

00:33:33.840 And then for dessert, we have pumpkin pie flavored potato chips.

00:33:37.600 I want this to be good.

00:33:38.200 Okay.

00:33:38.480 I kind of want this to be good, too.

00:33:39.580 Sweet potato chips are not something you dive into that often, but I'm kind of excited about them.

00:33:44.100 Mmm.

00:33:45.100 I'm definitely getting pumpkin from this.

00:33:46.660 Oh, yeah.

00:33:47.000 Oh, yeah.

00:33:49.900 That's pretty good.

00:33:51.160 That is pumpkin flavored potato chip.

00:33:54.560 Are you a pumpkin pie guy, Jeffy?

00:33:56.540 You like pumpkin pie?

00:33:58.320 I've had a couple slices over the years.

00:34:01.000 Have you?

00:34:01.400 Yeah.

00:34:01.800 Just a couple.

00:34:02.480 Once in a while.

00:34:02.920 Over the holidays.

00:34:03.740 You know.

00:34:04.360 They're around.

00:34:05.080 I mean, look, am I diving into this bag, you know, twice a week with lunch?

00:34:09.920 No.

00:34:10.620 But at one time...

00:34:12.220 It's not bad.

00:34:12.480 If I were to have, like, a Thanksgiving party, and you put out a bowl of these things, I think

00:34:16.540 it would work pretty well.

00:34:17.520 I actually like them.

00:34:18.660 I don't know.

00:34:19.440 That's good.

00:34:20.000 And it is pumpkin pie.

00:34:21.280 Much more so than the turkey and gravy thing.

00:34:23.580 Much more so.

00:34:25.720 So, yeah.

00:34:26.440 I, you know...

00:34:27.500 This I would eat.

00:34:28.400 Yeah.

00:34:28.600 I'd give this a 14 on a scale of 1 to 18.

00:34:31.160 Yeah.

00:34:31.580 I'll give it about a 14 sounds about right.

00:34:35.020 All right.

00:34:35.740 We have a couple more things here before we get to the Jeffy stories of the day.

00:34:38.820 Brand new soda from Coca-Cola.

00:34:41.480 Coca-Cola California Raspberry.

00:34:43.860 Okay.

00:34:44.780 Now, this is much different than an Arizona Raspberry Soda.

00:34:49.480 They do have raspberry in the machines where you can have all the crazy flavors, the freestyle

00:34:54.080 machines.

00:34:54.880 Oh.

00:34:55.020 There's a raspberry variety, but I've never seen it in a bottle of water.

00:34:56.880 But it's not California Raspberry, is it?

00:34:58.140 Right.

00:34:58.280 It's like Arizona Raspberry or something.

00:35:00.240 Or Nevada Raspberry.

00:35:02.340 Which doesn't even count.

00:35:03.280 Is it too soon to make a...

00:35:04.280 No, I won't make the California joke.

00:35:07.080 All right.

00:35:07.420 Go ahead.

00:35:07.660 California Raspberry.

00:35:08.460 Yeah, please don't.

00:35:09.100 Okay, here we go.

00:35:13.500 Oh, yeah.

00:35:15.280 Definitely a high raspberry taste.

00:35:17.640 Yeah.

00:35:18.060 It's an absolute raspberry feel to it.

00:35:20.460 Good.

00:35:21.020 A penetrating raspberry flavor.

00:35:22.820 Mm-hmm.

00:35:23.440 That's good.

00:35:24.580 That's pretty good.

00:35:27.280 Yeah.

00:35:27.680 It's very sweet.

00:35:29.640 Again, it's regular Coke.

00:35:31.340 I'm a big artificial sweetener fan, if you don't know that.

00:35:37.300 So it's a very...

00:35:37.840 This is definitely not Coke Zero.

00:35:39.280 Very sweet.

00:35:40.000 Very sweet.

00:35:40.560 Very sweet.

00:35:40.720 But the flavor's pretty good.

00:35:42.480 Yeah, I'd give it a, you know, 12.

00:35:44.620 Yeah, I'm in that range.

00:35:45.060 I'll go 12.

00:35:45.520 I'll give it a 11.

00:35:46.540 11 on that one.

00:35:47.720 Jeffy?

00:35:48.240 You know, raspberry is good.

00:35:49.780 I used to get up in the morning and have raspberries in milk with my grandma.

00:35:55.180 And that's where I like raspberries in Coca-Cola.

00:35:58.300 What did you do?

00:35:59.620 You got up in the morning and had raspberries in...

00:36:01.740 You got up in the morning and had raspberries in...

00:36:01.760 You got up in the morning and had raspberries in milk.

00:36:03.780 And I don't really like it in Coke.

00:36:06.420 Well, first of all, you've drank almost the entire bottle.

00:36:08.520 So you seem to like it.

00:36:09.360 I'm trying to wash away the turkey and gravy chips.

00:36:13.260 Raspberries and...

00:36:13.800 Is that a normal thing?

00:36:14.860 Raspberries and milk?

00:36:15.620 Oh, it's good.

00:36:15.840 I have never heard of it.

00:36:17.260 But that's not surprising when it involves Jeffy.

00:36:19.660 All right.

00:36:19.940 It's so good.

00:36:20.780 We also have several flavors of M&M's.

00:36:22.420 You can get these as well at your local convenience stores.

00:36:25.180 Okay.

00:36:26.300 Some of them are not.

00:36:27.220 We're going to start with kind of a palate cleanser here.

00:36:30.220 The crispy M&M.

00:36:32.800 Here.

00:36:34.260 Crispy M&M's, if you don't know.

00:36:35.780 Kind of an M&M.

00:36:36.360 I've never had crispy M&M's.

00:36:38.160 Almost like a malted milk ball almost in the middle.

00:36:40.300 It's not quite...

00:36:40.820 It's that same consistency, like of a Whopper in the middle.

00:36:43.340 Oh, yeah.

00:36:44.700 I like them.

00:36:45.400 They're good.

00:36:45.720 They're light.

00:36:46.220 Oh, that's good.

00:36:47.060 They're crunchy.

00:36:47.560 They're pretty delicious.

00:36:49.560 We use that as mainly...

00:36:50.680 Because those have been around for a while.

00:36:51.520 We use that as a setup here for the winning flavor for...

00:36:54.520 For M&M's.

00:36:56.120 Really good.

00:36:56.940 The crunchy mint...

00:36:58.520 I'll give these a 16.

00:36:59.440 16?

00:36:59.940 Those are really good.

00:37:00.540 I like them.

00:37:01.480 Crunchy mint M&M's.

00:37:02.760 Ooh, these might be really good.

00:37:04.100 Now, I'm a big fan of the mint products.

00:37:06.620 Me too.

00:37:07.160 And as we're about to gorge ourself for a day, we've got to give you some new options.

00:37:12.980 Mint M&M's.

00:37:14.220 They used to have these.

00:37:15.260 These are the mint crunchies.

00:37:16.920 You know, they're kind of like a peppermint patty.

00:37:20.840 Yeah.

00:37:21.300 But only crunchy.

00:37:22.440 Yes.

00:37:23.620 Yeah, very similar.

00:37:24.660 But the taste is really similar.

00:37:26.640 Same kind of chocolate.

00:37:27.560 Same kind of minty flavor.

00:37:28.820 Good, though.

00:37:29.700 But good, yeah.

00:37:30.560 I like it.

00:37:31.120 I'm a fan.

00:37:31.980 Yeah.

00:37:32.080 These are like a 14.

00:37:34.240 Yeah.

00:37:34.980 I'll give it a...

00:37:35.820 I'll give those a 15.

00:37:37.300 I like those.

00:37:38.760 But notice we're not getting any numbers from Jeffy because he really...

00:37:41.140 He can't do it.

00:37:41.540 We say that the highest number he knows is 18, but he really can't count all the numbers

00:37:45.460 in between.

00:37:45.980 So he doesn't really know.

00:37:46.900 I mean, good, not good.

00:37:47.940 That's good enough, right?

00:37:49.000 Good, not good.

00:37:49.700 It's actually not, but...

00:37:51.320 And these are what?

00:37:52.100 Final flavor.

00:37:53.020 Strawberry nut M&M's.

00:37:54.580 Oh.

00:37:55.460 Well, I don't like nuts, so...

00:37:57.280 You're not a peanut M&M guy?

00:37:58.440 No.

00:37:59.020 Ooh.

00:38:00.840 Trying these out here?

00:38:02.160 Have you had the caramels?

00:38:03.320 I know I'm jumping ahead to M&M's, but M&M's.

00:38:06.720 I like the strawberry flavor.

00:38:08.440 It tastes like an ice cream sundae.

00:38:09.620 I'd rather have it without the nut peanut in it, but it's pretty good.

00:38:14.780 Pretty good.

00:38:16.240 These are all good.

00:38:17.360 Mm-hmm.

00:38:18.100 Yeah.

00:38:18.600 I mean, M&M's...

00:38:19.520 I'll give that a 15.

00:38:20.480 Yeah.

00:38:21.080 I'll give it a 13.

00:38:22.620 Is there a bad M&M?

00:38:24.840 Well, I don't like pretzels.

00:38:26.520 A lot of people like the pretzel M&M's.

00:38:27.820 I do not.

00:38:28.520 I hate pretzels.

00:38:29.520 It's amazing how many flavors of M&M's there now are.

00:38:32.980 I would agree.

00:38:34.160 It's incredible.

00:38:34.980 You don't have to look hard to find a bunch of crazy flavors of M&M's.

00:38:38.080 No, you do not.

00:38:38.400 The caramels are great.

00:38:39.860 Yeah, they are.

00:38:40.540 Those are so good.

00:38:42.140 So good.

00:38:42.940 Those are dangerous.

00:38:43.940 Those are dangerous to have around you.

00:38:46.140 Now, so overall, I would say I like the pumpkin pie ones.

00:38:50.500 Absolutely.

00:38:51.580 And I like the...

00:38:52.640 I recommend all the flavors of the M&M's.

00:38:54.220 Yeah, they're all good.

00:38:55.260 The crunchy mint ones, I think, might have been my favorite out of those.

00:38:57.720 I like those a lot.

00:38:58.000 For sure, the crunchy were my favorite.

00:38:59.940 And then the California raspberry Coke was not bad.

00:39:03.180 Decent.

00:39:03.640 Yeah.

00:39:04.000 Decent.

00:39:04.280 See, this is the sort of information you're getting from this program.

00:39:07.020 Powerful.

00:39:07.480 Chicken and gravy, though, bad.

00:39:09.000 Powerful information.

00:39:09.480 Don't waste your money on this.

00:39:10.860 No, the turkey and gravy is not worth it.

00:39:12.340 I mean, think about it.

00:39:12.880 This is Jeffy saying, don't eat a potato chip.

00:39:15.020 That's amazing.

00:39:15.440 That's amazing.

00:39:15.840 Well, I mean, it's in front of you.

00:39:16.900 You have to eat it.

00:39:18.120 I opened the bag.

00:39:19.020 I'm going to finish it.

00:39:19.440 That's actually not a rule.

00:39:21.260 None of these are rules.

00:39:23.020 You don't have to finish them.

00:39:24.120 You don't have to eat them when you're in front.

00:39:25.320 This might be part of the issue with you.

00:39:27.520 You put it on your plate, you eat it.

00:39:29.200 That's the rule.

00:39:30.060 You don't have a plate.

00:39:30.920 You're eating it out of a bag.

00:39:31.740 You open the bag, you eat it.

00:39:33.180 That's the rule.

00:39:34.420 That's a law, I think.

00:39:35.500 I'm pretty sure that's a law.

00:39:37.160 This is the sort of insight you get on chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.

00:39:40.740 And it's no surprise that the word fat is in the title when you hear that sort of information.

00:39:45.100 It's just a name.

00:39:45.800 Do you have some stories for us?

00:39:48.100 Just a couple.

00:39:48.520 You know, I'm kind of sad.

00:39:49.300 You know how big I am on.

00:39:50.960 We've got done trying these food.

00:39:52.960 We do know how big you are.

00:39:53.380 How big I am on salads.

00:39:54.620 Oh, on salads.

00:39:55.140 And I love salads.

00:39:56.280 And especially for Thanksgiving.

00:39:57.960 Especially for Thanksgiving.

00:39:59.100 I mean, nothing says Thanksgiving like a salad.

00:40:02.300 But.

00:40:02.880 What?

00:40:04.040 You know that.

00:40:05.140 But the Centers for Disease Control are telling you, look out.

00:40:08.300 Romaine lettuce.

00:40:09.460 All of it.

00:40:10.060 Throw it away.

00:40:11.360 They're making a big recall again.

00:40:12.900 No matter where it comes from.

00:40:14.280 Doesn't matter.

00:40:14.760 No matter where you live.

00:40:16.180 Doesn't.

00:40:16.620 Get rid of it.

00:40:17.680 Because we just ate romaine lettuce last night.

00:40:20.260 You did?

00:40:20.640 You're supposed to.

00:40:21.120 Big outbreak of E. coli.

00:40:23.100 I didn't know until after we ate it.

00:40:24.600 And then I saw the story.

00:40:26.040 They're telling people to throw away any romaine lettuce that they already have in their homes.

00:40:31.540 Don't buy it.

00:40:32.560 Pull it off the shelves.

00:40:33.600 32 people in 11 states have been infected.

00:40:36.520 13 people have been hospitalized.

00:40:38.940 One person developed a type of kidney failure.

00:40:41.780 Now, remember, they had the big breakout a few months ago.

00:40:45.580 And that actually killed people.

00:40:48.220 Five people lost their lives a few months ago from the romaine lettuce.

00:40:51.040 I don't think I even heard that.

00:40:51.900 From romaine lettuce?

00:40:52.540 Yes.

00:40:53.380 For the E. coli breakout before, earlier this year.

00:40:56.040 So, if.

00:40:57.160 I don't know what they're doing to the romaine lettuce.

00:40:58.600 Iceberg lettuce is okay?

00:41:00.180 Yes.

00:41:00.860 That's all right.

00:41:01.480 Just romaine.

00:41:02.420 Just.

00:41:02.640 Wow.

00:41:02.880 Now, yeah.

00:41:03.400 This is.

00:41:03.880 The recall is just romaine.

00:41:05.240 Now, on the safe side, I would say don't eat any.

00:41:08.180 No salad at all.

00:41:09.380 No salad at all.

00:41:09.880 I would say all vegetables.

00:41:10.920 That's going to hurt my Thanksgiving dinner.

00:41:12.400 Oh, yeah.

00:41:12.600 Me too.

00:41:13.480 Me too.

00:41:14.040 You know, I don't.

00:41:14.800 Now, I say this warning about staying away from vegetables lasts for the next couple

00:41:19.700 years, right?

00:41:20.640 Yes.

00:41:20.800 So, if your wife is asking you to eat vegetables.

00:41:23.560 For me, this is extended to kale because that's also a leafy type of substance.

00:41:27.680 Yes.

00:41:27.700 All vegetables, I think, are on the table here.

00:41:29.420 Spinach.

00:41:29.660 To remove from your life.

00:41:31.140 Yeah.

00:41:31.420 You can't eat that.

00:41:31.980 Brussels sprouts.

00:41:32.640 Horrible.

00:41:32.800 Broccoli.

00:41:33.360 Green beans.

00:41:33.940 Oh, yeah.

00:41:34.420 It extends to all of it.

00:41:35.600 By the way, there's a survey that came out about the most disproportionately common Thanksgiving

00:41:41.320 sides by region.

00:41:43.340 So, what are the sides on Thanksgiving that are regional in nature?

00:41:49.380 Some of the...

00:41:49.980 Like, this is a clear case for you might need to move, in my opinion.

00:41:55.300 Yeah.

00:41:55.820 You know, I saw this.

00:41:56.820 I don't know that I believe it.

00:41:57.980 Well, listen to this.

00:41:58.540 The whole western half of the United States, basically, is salad.

00:42:03.520 Yeah.

00:42:03.840 That's why I don't believe it.

00:42:04.700 What?

00:42:05.300 Salad.

00:42:05.780 Salad.

00:42:06.260 Now, what...

00:42:06.740 That is the most...

00:42:07.780 Just generic salad?

00:42:09.360 Salad.

00:42:09.900 The main common side that you relate to Thanksgiving at that point.

00:42:13.940 No.

00:42:14.300 Salad.

00:42:14.620 I've lived in the West most of my life.

00:42:16.960 That's untrue.

00:42:17.960 It is the most disproportionately common...

00:42:20.540 No to that.

00:42:21.220 So, like, everybody might have turkey.

00:42:22.580 Everybody might have mashed potatoes, right?

00:42:24.140 But the most disproportionately common is salad in the West.

00:42:27.420 Now, that just means that people in the East aren't eating any salad, which is, I think,

00:42:31.620 one point in the East's favor.

00:42:33.380 You know, no kidding.

00:42:34.360 So, the Northeast is squash.

00:42:39.760 Yeah.

00:42:40.260 Oh.

00:42:40.840 Now, I've seen that here or there, but that was not a popular one, and I grew up in the

00:42:44.080 Northeast.

00:42:44.480 No, thank you.

00:42:45.340 No squash.

00:42:46.020 You don't like the...

00:42:46.800 No.

00:42:46.980 Even just, like, butternut squash?

00:42:48.440 No.

00:42:48.960 Acorn squash?

00:42:49.880 No.

00:42:50.320 You know how you...

00:42:50.900 If it has the word squash after it, I don't eat it, Jeffy.

00:42:52.520 You know how you would like acorn squash, though?

00:42:54.240 No.

00:42:54.440 It's an acorn squash with brown sugar...

00:42:56.500 Nope.

00:42:56.860 ...melted and butter in the...

00:42:58.140 No.

00:42:58.960 Well, I think because of the romaine issues, I'm going to stay away from squash.

00:43:02.580 Just to be safe.

00:43:03.900 It's a really good safety tip.

00:43:04.980 Thank you, Stu.

00:43:05.660 I'm going to follow your lead.

00:43:07.480 In the northern sort of central area, you know, Minnesota, 12 or 13 Dakotas, that area

00:43:13.760 is green bean casserole.

00:43:15.800 Yeah.

00:43:16.100 Which...

00:43:16.540 Green bean casserole.

00:43:17.580 That's pretty much...

00:43:18.500 That's...

00:43:19.440 What?

00:43:19.960 Oh, I like green bean casserole.

00:43:20.760 So nasty.

00:43:21.800 That's the only way that the crunchy fried onion people make a living. 0.99

00:43:26.200 That's true.

00:43:27.080 That's a good one.

00:43:27.720 I don't like onions, and I don't like green beans.

00:43:30.500 I'm not doing it.

00:43:31.700 You know, from Ohio to sort of Michigan, Wisconsin...

00:43:33.920 There's a reason I eat, you know, the Brickhouse Nutrition Field of Greens.

00:43:38.680 Yes.

00:43:39.020 There's a reason.

00:43:40.000 There's a reason I eat.

00:43:40.980 You don't want to eat actual vegetables.

00:43:42.320 Yeah, I don't eat actual vegetables.

00:43:43.800 You want to hide the taste of them.

00:43:46.160 In the Ohio, Michigan, sort of Wisconsin area is rolls and biscuits.

00:43:50.700 That's pretty good.

00:43:51.660 Yeah.

00:43:52.700 Texas is cornbread, and in our sort of region around Texas is cornbread for Thanksgiving.

00:43:58.140 And it's surprising that it's not farther down south.

00:44:01.380 All the whole south is cornbread, because they're big fans.

00:44:03.360 To me, the southeast has this thing, one.

00:44:06.860 That's mac and cheese.

00:44:08.680 Oh, wow.

00:44:09.040 Mac and cheese on Thanksgiving is a wonderful addition to your Thanksgiving.

00:44:11.980 It is a good addition.

00:44:12.900 I would be.

00:44:13.580 You got to have it.

00:44:14.660 I think...

00:44:15.140 I lived in the south for quite a while, and I don't recall that as being a prominent side.

00:44:20.020 My friend, I hate to break this to you.

00:44:22.100 You live in the south right now, and have for the last several years.

00:44:25.840 And I still don't recall that.
