Starting point is 00:00:00 Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Boating will begin when passenger fisher is done celebrating.
Starting point is 00:00:22 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 1866-3-3-1-2-600 or visit comexonterio.ca. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Tyson Fresh Meets has issued a recall. Three ground beef products due to possible foreign matter contamination. The recall impacts more than 93,000 pounds of raw ground beef, distributed throughout Texas.
Starting point is 00:01:01 The ground beef products were recalled after customers complained about finding reflective mirror-like material inside the raw meat. Nobody wants that. No one wants reflective mirror-like material inside their raw or cooked meat, for that matter. Now, there have not been any injuries or ill. is reported from consuming this beef. So the recall is out of an abundance of caution. But if you have a 10-pound hill-country fair ground beef,
Starting point is 00:01:40 or a 5-pound hill-country fair-ground beef, or a 5-pound H-E-B ground chuck ground beef, you may want to, I don't know, look and see if you can see yourself with the mirror-like material inside. If you can, go ahead. and take it back. If you can't, maybe you take it back anyway.
Starting point is 00:02:02 But it's only 93,000 pounds of ground beef. So it's all good, right? Right. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So not only are we concerned about the recall of ground beef. We know that the price of food is through the roof. Turkey is up 16%.
Starting point is 00:02:29 The list that I saw had eggs, 43%, butter 34%, flour 25%, potatoes 15%. I mean, all of the pie crusts, pumpkin and stuffing mix have all gone up. There's one staple that the price went down on, fresh cranberries. So when you have the sliced up, berries that look like a can on your table, just know that that's the cheapest thing on the table. Okay? All right, good. Don't worry about that ground beef.
Starting point is 00:03:11 It's Thanksgiving. Go ahead and eat that turkey. And we also found, speaking of ground beef, we also found that the researchers at the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. Man, do I love them, the IHME. They released a study titled Health Effects Associated with the Consumption of Unprocessed Red Meat. A Burden of Proof Study, the paper that was published in Nature Journal, has declared that we found weak evidence of association between unprocessed red meat consumption and colorectal cancer, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, heart disease, We found no evidence of association between
Starting point is 00:04:01 unprocessed red meat and a couple different strokes. So go ahead and eat that red meat as long as it doesn't have mirror-like substances in it. You know, also we have civil asset forfeiture and I saw a story about
Starting point is 00:04:18 officers seizing $33,000 in unreported currency from an Egypt-bound man at Dulles Airport. And I thought, it's just another civil asset forfeiture. Nope.
Starting point is 00:04:31 It's just another way for the government to take cash. Now, you have to have a form from the U.S. Treasury Department to report your money. Okay. So they didn't even, they don't charge, or they didn't charge this guy anyway. He wasn't criminally charged. He verbally reported to officers that he possessed $20,000. Nope, that was a lie. 33,000 he had.
Starting point is 00:04:59 So we're going to go ahead and we're going to go ahead and seize it. Oh, yeah, we're going to take your money, but you can go ahead and get out of here. Oh, that was nice of them. So last month, they are proud the CBP. I love the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers, and they do a fine job. But this just kind of thing kind of irks me. Last month, they announced the seizure of $227,500,500,000. to $39 in unreported currency from four groups of travelers.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Wow. So they claim there's no limit on how much currency or other monetary instruments travelers may bring to or take out of the United States. However, federal law, 31 U.S.C. 5316. I mean, who doesn't know federal law, 31 U.S.C. 5316, requires travelers to report all currency of $10,000 or greater to a CBP officer and a complete U.S. Treasury Department report of international transportation of currency or monetary instruments,
Starting point is 00:06:08 the F-I-N-C-E-N-105, and they give you a link to read more about currency reporting requirements. So that's great. CBP officers give advice to travelers who may be concerned. violating federal currency reporting laws. The most important lesson to international travelers is that they can take from these
Starting point is 00:06:36 seizures is to truthfully report. This is what you can take from these seizures. Okay, just remember this. All right, if you're going to be traveling over the holidays, coming up on the holiday season, if you're going to be traveling, okay, you need to be truthful and report all currency in their possession to the Customs and Border Protection Officers when you arrive to or leave the United States. It's less painful to complete a simple form
Starting point is 00:07:04 than it is to surrender all currency for violating U.S. currency reporting laws. Oh, well, isn't that special? It's so much easier for you to just tell us everything about yourself than it is for you to try to lie and get by because if you get by, we're taking your money. So agents have seized an average of $342,000
Starting point is 00:07:27 in unreported or illicit currency every day during 2021 along our nation's borders. Wow. So the consequences for violating U.S. currency reporting laws are severe. From missing a flight and interrupting vacation plans, seeing your currency seized to facing potential criminal prosecution for bulk currency smuggling. No one wants that. I would venture to say that $33,000 does not sound like bulk currency smuggling. But what do I know?
Starting point is 00:08:05 I am not a CBP officer. I don't work at any of the ports of entry. I would love to talk to a CBP officer, though, and find out if that's how much goes through. How much is actually documented that goes through? Because there are hundreds of thousands of dollars. are being seized. And it's just,
Starting point is 00:08:28 now we're going to take your money. Go ahead, get out of here, though. You've already got a plane ticket. You're not going to have any cash when you get to where you're going, but you can go ahead and go. We're going to keep this right here. Wow.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Just, wow. Hey, Merry Christmas. Happy Thanksgiving. You told this, you only had 20,000, and you had 33,000. So we're not just going to take the excess and leave you with 20,000. that you told us you had.
Starting point is 00:08:58 No, we're going to take it all because that's a lie. Wow. Okay. Thank you. Merry Christmas to you too. Happy Thanksgiving. You sure to tell the family I said hi. Wow.
Starting point is 00:09:12 So I guess this new rule, speaking of the love of government, I guess this new rule is just in New Jersey, but it happens here in Texas too. And as I'm looking through this story, they mention other states that it happens in, and they didn't mention Texas. So, shh,
Starting point is 00:09:29 guess what? It doesn't happen in Texas. I don't know what I'm seeing. I must be someplace else. So the digital alerts that debuted, you know, they have the electronic signs along the interstates now and the highways.
Starting point is 00:09:45 And they all put, you know, they have amber alerts and silver alerts and everything that you're supposed to be looking at. But now a lot of places put up, you know, funny stuff. Like, get your head out of your apps and mashed potatoes, not your head. Stuff like that. Well, the Federal Highway Administration has instructed New Jersey to cease posting these creative safety messages.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Wait, what? Yeah, it's aware of the changeable message signs. And we don't want to comment on why Jersey was told to stop using the messages. but yeah, you have to be more straightforward. None of the will be blunt. Don't drive high. No, we can't have that. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:10:32 I know. Hold on to your butts, help prevent forest fires. That's getting your eye. Now, maybe that's the problem. Maybe they don't want it to catch our eye. Maybe they just want it to be reinforced the message of don't drive drunk reinforced into our brains instead of something that's kind of funny.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I know that What's her face? This Mary Beth Karachi C-A-R-A-C-C-I Whose family has moved She owns this South Jersey Driving School in Moors Town Which I'm sure is a beautiful
Starting point is 00:11:09 South Jersey driving school She claims she's not a fan of sarcasm But any sign that reminds us to think about being better drivers Is okay with me Thank you. Mary Beth Thank you. South Jersey driving school.
Starting point is 00:11:23 I knew you were great. So you're not going to see those signs in New Jersey anymore. Don't cruise boozed. Hocus, pocus, drive with focus. We'll be blunt. Don't drive high. Hold on to your butts. Help prevent forest fires.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Be a deer. Watch for wildlife. Get your head out of your apps. It's just clicks. Wear your seatbelt. Slow down. This ain't Thunder Road. Nice car.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Did it come with a turn signal? Those are cute. And I do see these similar to this in Texas. Shh. But it's kind of sad that the government doesn't have a sense of humor and doesn't understand sarcasm. But that's Elon's thing too, right? On Twitter, he doesn't understand sarcasm.
Starting point is 00:12:17 He doesn't like it because he doesn't understand it. I get it. It's part of his deal. So, you know, okay, whatever. Just remember, okay. On behalf of Pennsylvania highways and chewing the fat, only Rudolph should drive lit. Plan a sober ride.
Starting point is 00:12:37 All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink, not alcoholic beverage. Desperately. So we've all seen the shows where, you know, it's the dating game, and they have a girl or a guy with multiple girls and a girl with multiple guys. And they ask, you know, hey, what would you do if to, you know, to date me? So I see this one posted and I'm not sure what show or what YouTube channel this was a part of. But it has one girl talking to about four guys and she wants to know what they would. do and she's asking them questions to figure out who she's going to choose to go out with.
Starting point is 00:13:29 And I love the guy's answer. If we had a fight, how would you make it up to me? Contestine number one. Hey, how are you? I missed you. So I would gaslight you into you thinking you're the problem, and then I would abuse you emotionally to you get to a point where you only get satisfaction from me and if I tell you look good or anything like that, and then I would start slightly treating you
Starting point is 00:13:54 you better so you think I'm chatting and then it would be this off and on until you're almost hooked for life and I'm almost like a drug to you where even when you're not around me and we break up like you're yearning for me like nicotine oh and if that doesn't work I'd get uh go to a movie great answer all right who you most attracted to the first one the black jacket number one yeah baby number one that's who she chooses it was a great answer so just remember that the next time you get asked a question, male or female, tell them, what would you do if you do, you know, make me happy, how would we do it? Just give them the worst case scenario and then, or I just, you know, ask you out for coffee. You're in. So wait, the American Music Awards aired
Starting point is 00:14:43 last night too. If you're listening live, today is the 21st of November 22. So yesterday, obviously was the 20th. And the American Music Awards were on as well? Wow. Okay, so we had the American Music Awards. We had the third episode of Yellowstone. We had the final episode and extravaganza. On AMC with The Walking Dead.
Starting point is 00:15:12 We had Tulsa King drop on Paramount Plus. We had the American Music Awards, and we're on ABC. And then we also had Disney Plus airing an Elton John concert live last night. So a lot happening and a lot happening last night. Though Walking Dead was awesome. And I say awesome. There's a few things that I have issues with.
Starting point is 00:15:40 But we'll get into that on Talking Walking Dead. For those of you that have listened to that, thank you very much. Jason Butrell and my son Maximus, along with myself, will break down the final episode of the final airing of the Walking Dead in Talking Walking Dead. So if you're a subscriber to this podcast, you know when that podcast drops. Because it's called Talking Walking Dead,
Starting point is 00:16:05 but it's under the chewing the Vat banner. So you'll be able to listen if you want to. So Artist of the Year at the AMAs, take a step. I'll give you two guesses. Now it's not Adele. Swift. Good guess, though. I see where Adele at her concert, everybody was all one,
Starting point is 00:16:25 if she finally showed up in Vegas to do his show. Ah, you know, I'll do it now. And the end of the show was this glitter comes down from the stage and then she disappears. I don't know how she does that, but I will say that it brought back memories of when, what's his face, fell on stage, smashed his rib cage, he came back. but it won't be long before Adele has a little accident. I don't want it to happen, but I'm just saying that it's possible it does.
Starting point is 00:17:03 And when it does, everybody's going to be freaking out. But I'm just telling you that I watched Post Malone fall. And it was a hard fall. He fell through a hole in the stage. And, you know, they hauled him off. then he came back. But it wouldn't surprise me to see Adele make that same mistake. I know.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I know. New artist of the year. Dove Cameron. Oh, man. Dove Cameron. I love that. Collaboration of the year. Elton John and Duolipa.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Coldheart. Yeah, that's a really good song. Remember I had duo with Just in the News. She had a big issue with tickets at a show. my people were trying to get in to see her and couldn't get in because the internet was down. So all the people who had tickets on their phones couldn't get into the show. I don't worry about it, though. You're fine.
Starting point is 00:18:05 We're just strand fans outside. Yeah, I know Ticketmaster is a problem. Oh, man, do I hate Ticketmaster? Those bastards. But never mind the apps where you've got your ticket on the, the app and the app doesn't open up at the venue so you know
Starting point is 00:18:24 there were fans who were digging through their emails looking for confirmations security was then checking each one that works great at a concert with thousands of people that works wonderful the opening acts and the stars coming up but I'm stuck
Starting point is 00:18:41 out here looking for an email that I didn't know I needed to keep because I have it on the app but it that's the way it It's the way it goes. All right. So congratulations to Elton and duo.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Favorite touring artists. This was kind of weird because the nominees were Bad Bunny, Coldplay, Ed Sharon, Elton John Rolling Stones. Now, the favorite touring artist. I mean, Elton's been touring for a thousand years. He's on his final tour. The Stones have been touring for 8,000 years. Ed Sharon is getting up there, although Ed and Bad Bunny are probably
Starting point is 00:19:18 the two youngest. And the winner is Coldplay. I know. Taylor Wend's favorite music video. Harry Styles finally pulled off something for his male pop artist. Favorite female pop artist?
Starting point is 00:19:34 Eh, Taylor Swift. Favorite pop duer, duo, or duer? Favorite pop duo or group, BTS. Favorite pop album? Taylor Swift. Pop song, male country artist, Morgan Wallen, favorite female country artist, Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:19:56 So congratulations. And man, I am bummed. I missed it on ABC. Speaking of ABC, Disney is back in the news again because Bob Eiger is back. Ladies and gentlemen, yes, Bob Chapic, you've been ahead of Disney and shares have fallen more than 40%. and you have been part of a reorganization of the company, which established new division called Disney Media and Entertainment, and we can't get enough of getting rid of you.
Starting point is 00:20:32 We can't get enough of getting rid of you. And so have a nice day. Bob Eiger, come on down. We're going to bring you back. Sure, you're in your 70s. Sure, you've retired. But you led us at our greatest process. prosperity for 15 years.
Starting point is 00:20:49 So we want you back and you're in charge now. Okay. So, I mean, I thought Eiger picked Japik, but he apparently he never liked him. And Chapik was, you know, agonizing, no question. But Eiger was the one that started all the stuff and he was there and got it. I mean, he was at the helm when Disney was buying up everything and taking care of everything. So they bring him back and he'll make a couple of moves and he'll be the he'll be the favorite son of the world because he
Starting point is 00:21:24 back in charge of Disney. Yay! 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 who died today? Who died today? Jason David Frank died at the age of 49.
Starting point is 00:22:11 And you ask yourself, who is Jason David Frank? He's the White Ranger from the Power Rangers, my friend. All right? It's morphine time. It's a martial artist. And he died here in Texas,
Starting point is 00:22:27 the great state of Texas. He was an actor and a martial artist. Now he I mean he was awesome As the white ranger And then they had the big star For the Mighty Morphan Power Rangers Was the Green Ranger
Starting point is 00:22:44 Then the Green Ranger turned into the white ranger I mean my I had every Transformer Not transformer Every power ranger I now have my you know A huge collection and I say mine My wife and my son have this huge
Starting point is 00:23:01 collection of transformers. But my oldest son was Power Rangers. It's Morphan time. And I had all the Zords and I said grow together. So very sad that Walter Jones, and it says here
Starting point is 00:23:19 that he died by suicide at the age of 49. Very sad. Very sorry to hear that. It's always sad when someone decides that suicide is the only way out. I just...
Starting point is 00:23:36 It's tough to get through it. Anyway, Jason David Frank, dead by suicide, at the age of 49. It's morphine time. So he's not dead yet, but he's taking some time off because he's concerned about his risk of Alzheimer's. Chris Hemsworth has decided that after filming a confronting episode about death, on his new Disney Plus docu series Limitless,
Starting point is 00:24:07 the actor will take a good chunk of time off with his wife and their three children. The Thor star, Chris Hemsworth, discovered he is genetically predisposed. I can't even speak. The star discovered he is genetically predisposo. I can't even say that word. Predisposed. Wow.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Genetically predisposed to Alzheimer's. causing him to confront his own mortality while filming the show. And through testing, he discovered he is one of only two to three percent of people with two copies of the gene APOE4. Hemsworth is between eight and ten times likelyer to develop Alzheimer's than the general population. Okay. He reacted to the news of his own predisposition to Alzheimer's by cultivating a healthier lifestyle. He revealed he's going to be taking a break from acting and spend time with
Starting point is 00:25:08 his family after discovering he's at risk of Alzheimer's. Okay, well, we all should be lucky enough to be able to do that. And we all, I mean, that's what they always say, right? We should all be lucky enough to not want to change anything at the time that we find out we're going to die. Now, do you want to know if you're predisposed to Alzheimer's, I guess, kind of. I guess. I don't know. It's so weird.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Do you want to know if you could know when you were going to die? Do you want to know? Most of the time, the answer is no. But you should, you know, live your life. And I'm as guilty or more guilty than anyone else of not doing this. But you should live your life where you're doing and doing everything you want to do. telling the people that you love, that you love them, spending time with the people that you love,
Starting point is 00:26:12 and that if you were to find out, hey, you're going to die in a week or a year, then you wouldn't want to change anything because you're already doing it. I mean, that's the way to live. Chris is going to be able to do that. He did not get a death sentence, I might add, by the way. He just, he's predisposed.
Starting point is 00:26:33 I mean, what's her face? Cut off her breasts because she was predisposed for breast cancer. Oh, okay. Yeah, Angelina Jolie. She was predisposed. She found out she carried the BRCA1 gene mutation that puts her at increased risk of developing breast cancer. So she got her breasts removed. I mean, okay, I guess.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Good for you? Just, I don't know. Seems a little much. But Chris is back in Australia. He's arrived down under. He's been wrapping up reshoots for extraction two in Prague. He's got whirlwind promotional visits for Limitless. And so he's, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:29 doing the doc. I mean, he's doing okay. And he's able to take that extra time off to be with his family. We'll see how long that lasts. We'll see how long that lasts until he comes to the realization, you know, I know I'm predisposed, but I'm doing everything I can to be better. So I might as well continue making movies and earning millions of dollars. Yeah, let's go ahead and do that. So Houses of the Hoity Toity, I'm reading a story about this historic Southern Manor home just outside of Nashville. And I guess it was owned by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. And it's been lived in and owned by several big stars.
Starting point is 00:28:12 The main house features three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a master suite with a fireplace and eat in kitchen, six different fireplaces, centers around a sweeping staircase that's served as a setting for McGraw's My Little Girl video. and then Beachwood Hall is also where McGraw and Hill filmed their video, I Need You. All right, the property is an important part of Civil War history. We can't have that. It's all in the area of the Battle of Franklin. The entire area is rife with historic sites.
Starting point is 00:28:49 So Beachwood Hall is one of the largest and most preserved structures that survived the war. It is entered into a National Register of Historic Places, and it's even further historical significance to country music. Hank Williams purchased the property in 1951. It was out of a couple years before he died. Apparently, he didn't ever live there. McGraw-Hill purchased the main residence, several other structures, and the 750 acres,
Starting point is 00:29:20 and they sold 131 acres in 2015. Okay. Now, the couple, there you go, they sold the remaining 620 acres in 2021 for $15 million, which included Beechwood Hall, as well as the 12-stall, stable barn, storage building, two caretaker homes, restored log cabin, two guest houses. So Tim and Faith didn't want anything to do with it anymore. They sold the property to this BKDM partners, this investment group, who said, yeah, we're not, we're buying it.
Starting point is 00:29:53 there's no way we would want to develop that property you must be out of your mind we're thrilled to own it so we've got an eye on conservation that's what we have that's we're bkdm partners okay and we're looking at conservation are you though because uh right now it's looking like we're going to go ahead to knock that bad boy down. I can't believe that they're going to allow this to happen, to be honest. But in today's world, it has to do with the Confederacy, and, you know, we've got to get rid of it. So apparently, after they purchased the property, they just opened the doors and let it alone. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:30:49 So you're not fixing it up. or anything? Well, you know, we're slowly dismantling it from the back doors being left wide open. Yeah, we've been trying to fix it up, but we just can't do it. And now it's so run down that, well, we're just going to have to, we're just going to tear it down. That's what we want to do. We want to just tear it down. Wait, what? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:13 So now there's a petition to halt the demolition process. Good. There should be. there's a petition to save Beechwood Hall and it absolutely should be saved. It's one of those southern mansions that nobody wants to be a part of anymore and all the cottages and everything
Starting point is 00:31:37 nobody wants to be a part of those anymore. But it's beautiful and it's a historic site in Tennessee and there's going to allow this investment group to come in and tear it down. Yeah, let's just tear it down. Okay, look, we tried to fix it up. We told you we had an eye on conservation. Somebody left the back door open.
Starting point is 00:31:55 We forgot to check it. We've been driving around. Things are starting to fall apart. I don't know what happened. We're just going to have to tear it down. Oh, okay. Go ahead. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

So we've talked a bunch about the fine line between restaurants and food service
Starting point is 00:32:57 and what we want to know and what we don't want to know. And I talk about, we've talked about run down the list of when restaurants get bad reports and, you know, what it's like for cleanliness and what we can take and what we can't take. Well, the Jacksonville Jaguars at their home stadium has now been reported for 150 incidents of rodent. droppings.
Starting point is 00:33:29 They found dead rodents and 129 health violations at the Jags home stadium. Now, the thing is, all right, so for sure there's going to be rats. We all know that. I know, and it's not, you know, you just have to keep it as clean as possible. It's a big stadium.
Starting point is 00:33:48 When are you going to keep every rat out? So, I'm just saying that the company that runs the concessions at TIA Bankfield issued a statement saying that the highest standards in food service and has strict policies to ensure compliance with all applicable food service
Starting point is 00:34:11 and standard regulations. A team of health inspectors spent the day on November 6th inspecting the food service locations during a live event with more than 62,000 fans. Our managers worked closely with health inspectors during the visit, and most of the violations identified
Starting point is 00:34:25 were rectified immediately or within 24 hours. Furthermore, we are working to resolve the clerical error that led to a lapse in licenses for two of our concession stands. Okay, big deal. The other locations listed in a report as having licenses lapsed were not in operation at the time of the inspection. So, okay, big deal.
Starting point is 00:34:45 That's little stuff, right? Those are violations that they're talking about. Big deals, taking care of. What are you doing? You write me violations on this. All right, stop. So apparently, these incentives, inspections.
Starting point is 00:35:01 TIA Bankfield ranked 27 out of 30 with the highest rates of high-level water the others. Which ones are bad? Hold on. This just talks about the Jaguars how to bite. Well, I want to know what the other stadiums are. Okay. Here's a report from ESPN's outside the lines. They pulled 16,000 food safety inspection reports from the water.
Starting point is 00:35:26 from the 111 stadiums across North America. They looked at the number of high-level violations or those that presented clear food poisoning concerns at each vendor in the stadium.
