Starting point is 00:00:00 Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Boating will begin when passenger fisher is done celebrating.
Starting point is 00:00:22 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 1866-3-3-1-2-60 or visit comex-onterio.ca. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So if you saw a person get ingested into an airline engine, let's say you're sitting out of plane. And you look out the window and a person gets ingested into the engine. Would you sue?
Starting point is 00:00:53 Would you sue for emotional distress and other damages? Well, that's what this lady is doing. right now for a million dollars. Okay. The suit against Unify Aviation was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas and claims passenger McKenzie Hill was returning to San Antonio from Los Angeles on June 23rd. Hill was in California for a church conference and graduation ceremony after she had completed a two-year program for equipping women for ministry.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Okay. Okay. So according to the lawsuit, she noticed that the employee identified as 27-year-old David Runner. Rest in peace, David. I mean, he didn't make my, who died today, but he probably should have. He worked for Unified and offered ground handling operations support it for Delta Airlines.
Starting point is 00:01:54 And she said, I noticed him coming uncomfortably close to the plane as it was taxing to the gate around 10.25 p.m. While the seat, oh, I was seated in window 11A near the captain's side engine. Okay. The airplanes crew instructed passengers to shut their windows and keep them closed for 15 minutes because Renner got sucked into the engine. And now she cannot survive.
Starting point is 00:02:23 She can't get through life because it just is too much. It's too much for her. Is it though? Well, that's what she claims. She claims she has nightmares and flashbacks, has PTSD. And she wants damages for mental anguish, physical impairment.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Physical impairment. Is that the PTSD, I guess? Loss of wage, loss of wage earning capacity, and other losses. And she's only asking for a million. Now, you know, you'd think they'd settle, right? You're thinking, yeah, they're going to settle.
Starting point is 00:03:03 They're going to settle. However, Unify claims we deny each and every allegation listed in this lawsuit. And we don't normally, we don't typically comment on pending litigation. But we believe the claims asserted by Ms. Hill do not have any merit and intend to zealously defend ourselves. Wow. And we also continue to keep David. runners family and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers as we all do however let me say this i have been sued before i know no i know it's a surprise but uh i wanted to fight this particular lawsuit
Starting point is 00:03:42 and then and you said we're on no i told my insurance company no we are not settling we are not settling and the insurance companies like jeff uh we're just going to give the guy the money and settle it's not going to affect you at all uh we're good we just want to get this off the table Okay. And that's what's going to happen at Unify. They're going to say, you know, we could just give Miss Hill 500,000. She'll take it. Sign here. We're done with her. And it's over. So we'll see what happens. But I would be willing to bet that they will have a settlement and it'll be an undisclosed settlement and we'll all move on with our lives. So just remember, though, if you are on an airplane and you see anyone get sucked into the engine.
Starting point is 00:04:27 You need to make sure that they realize that you are now suffering from nightmares and flashbacks. You have PTSD. You have mental anguish, physical impairment. It made you lose wages and earning capacity. All of it. Because. Because. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Welcome to chewing to fat. So during my fat five on Pat Gray on leash this morning, I talked about the top. Top 10 U.S. City's New Yorkers are moving to because they say that, you know, in Manhattan, the average Manhattan apartment is now $5,470. And it's probably about the size of your closet in Manhattan for only $5,000.
Starting point is 00:05:20 But apparently people in New York have had enough of paying too much money. I barely believe that. If you're living in New York, you're a New Yorker. Okay, I mean, people are moving out of there. They're moving all over the place. And I would assume that they were moving to Florida. I don't necessarily, I don't want to move into Texas.
Starting point is 00:05:41 They can move anywhere else, but I don't want to move me here. I don't want to New York my Texas. Okay. But number one was Miami, then Philadelphia, which, I mean, it has to be just because it's cheaper. Right. And I like Philadelphia, although it's a whole in today's world. Stanford, Connecticut, Atlanta, Georgia, Tampa, Florida. Yeah, Tampa for sure.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Boston, Massachusetts, Orlando, Florida. That's because they come down 95. And some continue on, most of them just continue straight and go down to Miami. And then you make that cut on I-4, shoot over to Disney, and then you realize, oh, I don't want to go to Miami, I'll go over to the beaches on the west coast.
Starting point is 00:06:21 We'll stay a little live in Tampa. And so, or you just stay in Orlando, which is, you know, number seven on the list. Los Angeles, why would you move to from New York to Los Angeles? I don't know. Washington, D.C. And East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania in the Poconos.
Starting point is 00:06:37 When you think of where you want to live, you think of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. And then I was, and speaking of, you know, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa, I had this sent to me where they talk about the four cities in Florida that are the best places to live. And I thought, okay, well, which one is number one? St. Petersburg, Florida, City.
Starting point is 00:07:02 which I have lived in before. And it's also in Pinellas County, Florida, which I have lived in before, is number one on this list. And then Alifaya, and the Alifaya River, it's beautiful. I got it. Then Fort Lauderdale,
Starting point is 00:07:15 down on the East Coast, down there by Miami. A Fort Lauderdale is separate from Miami, Jeff. Okay, I got it. And Orlando are the top four cities that are the best cities to live in Florida. And then I had someone sent me these cities that are
Starting point is 00:07:33 where to go for the last days of summer and New York is number one on that list okay if you want to go visit New York for the last days of summer fine Los Angeles no but that's number two on the list Las Vegas yeah we're going to Las Vegas I mean that city is going to be great until they run out of water right when the desert
Starting point is 00:07:55 goes dry goodbye have a nice day same with Phoenix So when the desert goes dry, have a nice day. Chicago. You want to visit Chicago? Okay. Have fun.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Boston? Yeah. I would like to visit with Boston. That'd be fun. Orlando, been there, done that. And if you're going to go to Orlando, you have to go to Gatorland, which is technically in Kissimmee, Jeffrey, it's not Orlando. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:08:21 But Gatorland, one of the best theme parks in America. I love Gatorland. And then San Francisco, no thanks. been there. Last time we were in San Francisco, it was on the verge of Turning Bad. You know how when you drink sour milk, or you drink, pull milk out of the fridge,
Starting point is 00:08:41 and you take a little sip, and it's just, it's right there. It's just on the edge of Turning Bad. And you can't decide whether you want to drink it or not. But you know, I mean, it's still good, but not really. And that's the way it was when we were in San Francisco. It was still good.
Starting point is 00:08:59 but just not really. And now forget it. It's sour milk 100%. And that, no, I didn't drink it. It's the thing. You threw it away. He just took a little sip. He wouldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Then Miami. And Dallas is on the list. You want to spend the last days of summer in Dallas? It's a million degrees. The sun is 10 feet away from us. You know, to spend the last days of summer in Dallas? No, wait till the wintertime. Okay?
Starting point is 00:09:27 Come in the fall in the winter when it's really. really, really nice. You know what? Come to think of it? Don't come at all. It's horrible. The sun never leaves. It's always 10 feet from the surface. It's terrible. You don't want to come here. Nashville, which is, I mean, everybody's moving to Nashville. I mean, I love, Nashville's beautiful. And it's a good place to live, but I don't know that I could live in Nashville. Although, get up there in the Smoky Mountains, man. It's a beautiful country, that's for sure. Then I see, I read another story. It's all about cities and people wanting to live in cities, and they talk
Starting point is 00:10:02 about housing in the past. Cities have catered to young urban professionals who are likely to continue being attracted to these vibrant locations. However, developers who created one and two-bedroom apartments almost exclusively will need to think bigger in order to keep folks from moving
Starting point is 00:10:18 to the suburbs if they decide to start a family. Yeah, see, that's the thing. When you're living in an urban area in the city, you live there because you're single or you're just living with your significant other or you're newly married
Starting point is 00:10:35 you should be living with people you should be married I know okay so it's just a couple and you want to have the vibrant nightlife and the restaurants and the parties and the walking downtown and all the people and you start having children then you want nothing to do with people
Starting point is 00:10:50 when you add more people into your home once a couple start having kids. They want nothing more to do with people. We're done with people. Businesses, while some employees are demanding that workers return to the office, or at least hybrid work, is probably here to stay. Hello. This means persistent vacancies of existing office space. Yeah, that's where they're going to put the illegals in the cities. All the cities are going to, that's where they're going to put the legales. I see where
Starting point is 00:11:19 Massachusetts is, you know, they had their, it's a state of emergency. We've got too many illegal aliens here. And now the lieutenant governor, is asking you, Hey, if you have an extra room or, you know, space for an illegal alien, could you take them in? You first, Lieutenant Governor, you first, okay? So we'll see about that, but I digress.
Starting point is 00:11:46 So I guess the persistent vacancies in the office space is going to be a big problem. So, I mean, I just got to turn it into apartments, I guess, and hope for the best. I was going to say maybe they make it into a, we work building, but they're getting close to shutting down as we found out yesterday. And while there are a few cities that are probably big enough to weather just about any storm, smaller places will need to develop a unique reason for people.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Thank you. That's what you're going to have to do. So it has to be a vibrant outdoor entertainment, lots of nightlife, lower cost of living, and various other characteristics. Yeah, well, you're going to have in binomics world, you're going to have the vibrant outdoor environment. Lots of nightlife. The lower cost of living ain't happening anymore. Forget that.
Starting point is 00:12:30 And the one thing that they don't mention really, well, I guess they kind of mentioned it in this, in the first one where they're talking about keeping families from moving to the suburbs. No, they really didn't mention it all. The number one on my list would be safe. People's safety. Look at it. I mean, if you're living in a downtown area now,
Starting point is 00:12:53 my number one concern would be safety. And that's not being safe. Okay, you can, and maybe you know, maybe you're carrying a weapon and you're, you know, you're, no problem about, yep, I'm carrying. I mean, it's right. But, I mean, who wants to do that all the time and walk around and I just want to go party and have a good time? I don't want to have to, hey, what are you doing? Yeah, I don't want to do that all night. Okay, so I guess we have to wait until the end of this month to find out who won the cops.
Starting point is 00:13:27 contest for from subway today is the 10th of August 2023 so the contest ended on the 4th of August the name challenge the name I guess it's called the name change challenge and you could enter to win if you agree to change your name to subway and you know a subway bill Subway Fisher Yeah, okay So You can't enter anymore But they had over 10,000 people, I guess,
Starting point is 00:14:06 enter this contest And so someone is going to win And they're going to change their name To Subway And you get to enjoy free sandwiches For Life From Subways From the Subways
Starting point is 00:14:21 And I don't know if it's a sandwich A day A sandwich a week, a week, if they say you get 52 sandwiches a year, something like that, or whatever, you know, however they're going to work out the deal for the contract. Yeah, they're going to pay your legal fees to change your name, which is they claim about $750 on, you know, legal Zoom. And then they claim that free subway for life amounts to $50,000 worth of gift cards.
Starting point is 00:14:52 So you're going to have, you're going to have. $50,000 worth of gift cards. Why don't they just give you one gift card worth $50,000, Subway Black or Subway Gold? And then that's your card. And you work off 50 grand on that card from Subway. Nah, that's just too smart.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Never mind. Never. What am I thinking? Anyway, we'll find out who actually won the contest and who will have to change their name to Subway. Subway. Or they get nothing. Now you get nothing. Was that a whole ad or we were just sinking Subway?
Starting point is 00:15:29 Subway. Eat fresh. There you go. So many jokes with that and I'm just going to let it go. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Desperate. All right, so we're on what day 101 of the writer's strike?
Starting point is 00:15:56 So we're surpassing the 2007-2008 walkout and becoming the third. longest strike in history of the Writers Guild of America. Yay! Congratulations. Yay. So, okay.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Yay. So the combined two groups account for about 171,000 workers. The Writers Guild obviously is arguing failure to reflect on the rapid pace of change in the entertainment industry. Among other issues, the group claims streaming services
Starting point is 00:16:29 where half the writers now work. Yeah, probably, I mean, they say half. I would say, I would have bet more than that. Ultimately result in lower residual payments over the long term. Proposals from the WGA and its counterparty, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television producers, are reportedly more than $340 million apart. Yeah, we want more money.
Starting point is 00:16:55 No, you can't do that. I mean, we have late night talk shows affected, but, you know, are we missing them yet? No, okay. But we have delayed or postponed a number of shows. It is going to hurt. In the next two or three months, you're going to really feel it because the shows that were done
Starting point is 00:17:15 and either just getting into post-production or just-finished post-production, we're seeing those now. And so in a couple of months, those are going to be all gone. Have a nice, day. So, I mean, I want content. And look, Disney wants to raise their price. Uh, Hulu plus wants to raise their price. Hulu. Oh, we're going to raise, we're not going to raise our
Starting point is 00:17:44 price on, uh, on the people that want to watch commercials and stuff, but we're going to raise the price on the people that don't want to watch commercials. You bastards are trying paying more money for no commercials. You're going to pay more money. Oh, okay. Thank you. I appreciate it. Really. I mean that. so we'll see what happens with everybody wants everybody wants more money huh everybody wants more money so the previous yeah only when that opens up there's nothing in there let me check oh no i don't have any i don't have any coins in here now more money more problems thank we got shouts from the homeless people in the street now it's
Starting point is 00:18:26 more money more problems okay so the previous writer's strike at two 2007 went for 100 days right into 2008 and that was the screenwriter's longest strike was in 1988 that lasted 153 days so the last time the actors union staged a major walkout was in
Starting point is 00:18:45 1980 and that lasted more than three months and so they better they better do something man they better work on something and you know maybe I don't know you can hate the writers you can hate the studios but they've got to work it out and make something
Starting point is 00:19:01 right and I just I've said it I want you know just everybody I want everybody to get what they deserve okay everybody just get what they deserve I know that they think that AMC said that this past month was successful it was the highest ever monthly revenue uh for July said AMC CEO yeah well well you had Barbie you had Appy you had sound of freedom and you still had what you call it from Tom Cruise in the window So what is that? Yeah, yeah, Mission Impossible, right? Dead Reckoning.
Starting point is 00:19:36 And dead reckoning won. And so, I mean, yes. Will that continue? Not if there's a strike. Not going to continue. They're going to be playing best doves. That's what's going to happen. It's going to be agonizing.
Starting point is 00:19:55 And nobody's going to go pay $25 for your box of popcorn then, Adam. So maybe you ought to rethink your issue. Anyway, we'll see. And congratulations to the Academy Awards. Speaking of the Academy. The United Kingdoms Sky Network just gave up the rights to broadcast
Starting point is 00:20:15 the ceremony of the Academy Awards for the first time in 20 years. Yeah, we don't want to do it anymore. Do it yourself or do whatever. I mean, they ought to do that anyway. I wish they would contact me. Email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. and we can work out.
Starting point is 00:20:31 We'll sit down and out. I would like to go over some things.

Starting point is 00:21:32 So, Megan Fox, you know or you love her. You know, she's, she's, what's the word? Well, she's pretty good looking. That's the word I'm looking for it. Yeah, some people would say Megan Fox is a Fox. All right. She's been struggling, right? She's been married before, and then she's had her machine gun Kelly relationship.
Starting point is 00:21:53 And I think she's now burned all the machine gun Kelly pictures. on Instagram. They're all gone and it's just Megan, whatever. But she announced that she has a new book coming out. Megan Fox, pretty boys are poisonous. And it's the Megan Fox poetry book. I cannot wait for the Megan Fox poetry book. I will read them to you.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Those poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that had taken root in me because of my silence. I've spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men. My body aches from carrying the weight of their sins. My freedom lives in these pages and I hope that my words can inspire others to take back their happiness and their identity by using their voice to illuminate what's been buried, but not forgotten in the darkness. Megan Fox. You can pre-order. No, whoa, whoa, whoa, no.

Severe circumstances outside of production control. Weird, weird. Now, Lizzo was going to be one of the headliners. So is it possible that the Lizzo, you know, recent lawsuits and struggles with her former dancers alleging sexual harassment and hostile work environment brought other issues to this event?
Starting point is 00:24:18 Yeah, but they, you know, could that have been severe circumstances outside of production control? Sure. I mean, the difficult, it was a difficult decision. and it has not been made lightly, nor without immense deliberation. And look, if you already have tickets, you're going to get your money back. We'll refund them.

Who died today? Well, we've got quite a number of people that died today. Sadly, we've lost at least 36, probably more, in Hawaii, due to the fires. Some of the footage coming out of Hawaii was just apocalyptic. It was, you know, walking down.
Starting point is 00:27:39 dead stuff. So thoughts of prayers to all the people in Hawaii struggling with this. And we'll find out that it's probably a lot more than 36. So who died? 30, who died? 36 of them so far because of fire. See, that's not even funny because that's what was happening. You're on an island. What are you going to do? And I see the footage. I saw one footage where it showed all these cars rode up next to the shore. And they're saying that what happened, the fire was coming, so all these people drove to the shore, left their cars there and jumped in the water.
Starting point is 00:28:15 So hopefully they survived. I don't know if they did or not. I hope they did. The number of boats that burned were just horrific. So those people didn't make it to the docks. But if I was at the water and there was a boat there and nobody was on it, I would be on it. There wouldn't be a floating boat.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Oh, that belongs to somebody else. I can't take it. Yes, I can. Fire me on that boat. I'm out. So, rest and peace to all those people. And sadly, we'll probably get a lot more from Hawaii. Okay, so actual deaths.

Starting point is 00:32:49 Probably what it sounded like, though. 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. So I see where. Tori Lanes was sentenced to 10 years in prison. 10 years he got 10 years in prison.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Wow. So he got 10 years in prison for shooting and wounding hip-hop superstar Megan the stallion. Now he wounded her in the feet. And so this has been like a three-year legal battle. And a cultural saga that saw two careers. and lives thrown into turmoil. And so they handed down the sentence to the 31-year-old
Starting point is 00:33:58 convicted of three felonies, assault with a semi-automatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging the firearm with gross negligence. No, no, no, no, no, wait. Okay, so he just didn't fire it. All right, he didn't just fire it. All right, so they were getting out of the car. They were leaving, I think they were leaving, what's her faces?
Starting point is 00:34:22 pool party. Kylie Jenner's, yeah, they were leaving Kylie Jenner's. And they're in the SUV and she goes to get, she gets out of the SUV and Lanes aims the gun at
Starting point is 00:34:38 her feet and tells her to dance. It's not funny. It's not funny at all. Now I'm sure he just didn't say, hey, Megan the Stallion, can you please dance? I said, please dance. Megan, please dance.
Starting point is 00:35:00 No, I'm sure he was saying, dance, bitch. I said dance, bitch. And so she had to have bullet fragments removed from her feet. Just terrible, just terrible. But 10 years for that? I mean, holy cow, there's guys walking around the street that have done worse than, I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:35:22 He fired the gun at her. She was injured with bullet fragments on her feet. I got it. I got it. But he said he's a completely changed man now, and he wishes he could talk to that, the guy that was getting out of the SUV with Megan saying, dance, bitch.
Starting point is 00:35:41 He's a different person now. So it's going to be different after 10 years in prison, I'll tell you that. So I'd probably get out earlier. I know he's been in jail for a while now, so it's not a full 10 years, that's a sentencing. But it is pretty close to 10 years. But he'll probably get out early because, I mean, come on. A full 10 years?
Starting point is 00:36:04 For just saying, dance, bitch. I mean, he didn't technically shoot her. She got fragments in her feet. Because the trial itself created what they call a firestorm in the hip-hop community. And I guess it turned up a bunch of issues, including the reluctant. of black victims to speak to police.
Starting point is 00:36:25 I don't know why that would be. Gender politics in hip-hop. Okay. Online toxicity. Protecting black women. And the ramifications of massagin noir. Messagin noir. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:36:43 It's massagin noir. Which is, I guess, a particular brand of misogyny, black women experience. Okay. All right. Okay. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:58 You're right. You're right. I mean, they were painting the guy to be a good guy, and all that they remember is the massagin noir, which is the brand of misogyny black women experience. I mean, you just wanted her to dance. No, don't fire the gun. But you just wanted her to dance.
Starting point is 00:37:20 It's all he said. According to the story, it doesn't say the way I portrayed it. Look, I'm acting, okay? I'm just portraying a part as Tori Linette. So the way the story reads is he went, dance, you know, that's not what happened. You know it as well as I do. All right, so you two can email the show anytime chewing the fat
