Starting point is 00:00:00 With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. I have been using deodorant all wrong, and I didn't know it. I didn't know it.
Starting point is 00:00:26 I just read today that applying deodorant, and or antiperspirants after you shower is less effective because you're supposed to be doing it on dry skin. Plus, this says that antiperspirants work best when you do it at night. So you're supposed to apply the antiperspirant when you go to bed. And I don't use antiperspirants. I just use deodorant, you know, just a thing I have. But I will say that I didn't realize that. I was doing it wrong.
Starting point is 00:01:01 So like I guess I do it on dry skin. But it's still, the pores are probably still wide open and damp thanks to my freshly showered skin. So I'm supposed to wait until it's completely dry. And if I use antiperspirants, and it did mention deodorants, although they were more particular toward antiperspirants at night before you go to bed. And then it's good. It works better throughout the day.
Starting point is 00:01:27 So I didn't know it. I didn't know it. using it wrong. And I will say this, it's going to take some time for me to change my habit of showering and then applying deodorant and then, you know, perhaps some fufu spray and then maybe some skin cream and then, you know, get dressed and go about my day. So we'll take some time to change. But for you, maybe it doesn't take that, you know, long to change. So if you find yourself realizing that antiperspirin or deodorant isn't working for you, mine is.
Starting point is 00:02:07 But if you find that yours isn't, perhaps you need to start applying it at night prior to going to bed. And then you'll wake up and you won't smell all day long. Huh? I know. I know. But it's going to take some doing to retrain yourself for that. Welcome. At least it will be for me.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Welcome to chewing the fat. So the Airbnb deal where you could go and spend some time at the Coliseum and then dress up in gladiator garb and have a gladiator fight in the Coliseum due to this new deal that Airbnb has with the Coliseum Archaeological Park, love them. and the promotion for the event is supposed to happen in May of next year, 2025. The promotions for the event are kicking off obviously in conjunction with the release of the new Gladiator 2 movie, which opens, well, they say today,
Starting point is 00:03:16 but Friday, but if you're listening live, today is the 21st of November, 2024, and you should be able to see it tonight around the country. I will say this. I heard news that the pop bucket of the Coliseum with the fighters that I want is already sold out.
Starting point is 00:03:35 How is that possible? I don't understand. The movie isn't even out yet. That means people at movie theaters are selling it under the table and I don't like it. I don't like it. And apparently people in Italy are a little upset that this is happening. The local lawmakers in Rome are like, ooh, no, do we really want to be doing this? Yes. And so I guess we're still ongoing. It's still happening. You request to book a private
Starting point is 00:04:08 Gladiator training session in the Roman Coliseum on at Airbnb starting November 27th at 3 p.m. So just know that it's there for you at Airbnb. And it's part of a deal with the, obviously, the release of Gladiator 2. and in partnership with the Coliseum Archaeological Park. But know that it may or may not happen because the local lawmakers are questioning this happening. I want it to happen. It would be really cool. And if someone would like to get that for me as a gift, I'd be happy to take it. But they want to enhance the historical and cultural heritage of the Coliseum.
Starting point is 00:04:57 And it's time to maybe bring it back and have a little fun overnight in the Coliseum. But according to the local lawmakers, we are not Disneyland. We're in Rome. Someone needs to forget that. Well, they have. And they've already made a deal. So good luck. Good luck.
Starting point is 00:05:20 I mean, people around the world are getting a little wound up about Airbnb. I mean, several European cities have been protesting this mass tourism. Yeah, these are the same countries that are letting in mass immigration. Huh, weird. But anyway, they're saying that the rising cost of rental is an issue, and they want to ban Airbnbs. So a partial ban on short-term rentals in Barcelona happened. That was a couple years ago.
Starting point is 00:05:49 And the city announced this summer that it would aim to eliminate all of its roughly 10,000. registered short-term listings by 2028. Wow. In July, locals in Spain took to the streets in Barcelona again to protest mass tourism. Wow. Portugal suspended all new licenses for short-term rentals last year, and Amsterdam also kept the number of night hosts can rent out their homes to just 30 a year. Yeah, we're telling people in countries that they can only, They could do what they want with their property, within limitations.
Starting point is 00:06:29 And that's happening here in America too. I know the city of Dallas was trying to ban Airbnb's as well. Right now they have new regulations against short-term rentals in single-family homes. I see the pictures of the people that showed up to protest Airbnb's. Homes, not hotels. Yeah, so I don't get any funny ideas of, you. You can do what you want with your property when you want to do it. Okay?
Starting point is 00:06:58 Just make the, but I do about the Coliseum thing to happen. Oh, no. Not another recall that I have to be concerned about. This from Costco? Costco just issued a nationwide recall. What? For what product? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:07:18 I have a Costco membership, too. So it's issued a recall. they have they're experiencing potential contamination due to foreign materials really yes what was the product in a letter sent to members I did not get this letter
Starting point is 00:07:39 perhaps maybe I haven't purchased this product from Costco so maybe I didn't get a letter from them I don't recall seeing a letter from Costco perhaps we got one and my wife said that we don't buy this product anyway Costco officials announced a recall for its Kirkland Signature Butter Crosanths, citing their potential contamination with foreign materials. Does it say what material was in them?
Starting point is 00:08:06 They're telling you they've pulled the product from their bakery shelves, and they're offering refunds for customers who have purchased the product. Okay. Doesn't say specifically what foreign materials were in it, But apparently there's a big salt recall as well. Apparently a salt supplier had some metal shavings in their salt, which was being used for the Costco products. So there's a Canadian salt issue.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Yeah, so it's a class two recall. This is the salt being recalled. It's a class to recall for the retail level for very, brands of bread and buns recalled due to pieces of metal. The recall is linked to the recall of the Sifto Salt. So they use Sifto Salt to make Wonderbreads and other bun products, you know, like the Costco Kirkland brand signature croissants. That's part of the deal.
Starting point is 00:09:17 So this is why they're being recalled. that the salt recall is affecting different bakery products. So be careful out there when you're eating your croissant. It'll be nothing like a good piece of metal to go down with it. And it'll be better than ever. Now, while that is, you know, you don't want to think about that actually happening. How many, how much time do you spend thinking about, you know, worst case scenarios, not including, you know, just having metal shavings in your bread?
Starting point is 00:09:48 But you're a, you know, if you want to be prepared, you got to think about what the worst case scenarios would be, right? And what would you do if one of your children needed a certain medication and you couldn't get it? There's a supply shortage. Your order is on backup. There's a weather emergency. You can't get to a pharmacy. We've seen so much of that in the past six months. There's something that you can do to ensure that you and your loved ones have medication on hand when it's needed.

And Morgan Wallen was the entertainer of the year. He was announced by Jeff Bridges.
Starting point is 00:12:19 And apparently Jeff flubbed his name and couldn't get it right. And then ended up saying, let's hear it for Morgan. And Morgan wasn't there. so I'm going to accept it on behalf of Morgan. Because I don't know how to, I don't know what happened. I don't know what's whalen. It's Wailen.

So congratulations to all the CMA winners last night. And hopefully, except for Jeff Brousham, and his mispronouncing the mispronunciation of Morgan Wallen was the only issue that they had.
Starting point is 00:15:00 I can't wait to actually see if there were more issues that nobody wanted to talk about.

And, of course, the stakes are, you know, just as high as they ever get in terms of financial decisions that you make. I mean, even for them, it's a financial decision that they have to concern themselves with.

I may not respond to them all, but I do see them all, and I thank you very much for your emails, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Now, I will say this. It looks like the
Starting point is 00:17:52 Comcast announced that they're going to be shedding most of its cable channels and spitting them into a new publicly traded company that they're calling Spinco for now. Ha ha. I guess they're saying, hey, our cable networks are still profitable, but they got a little growth potential and we are weighing down the broader company. So Spinco will include CNBC, MSNBC, E, sci-fi, golf channel, USA and Oxygen, as well as the ticketing site to Fandango,
Starting point is 00:18:33 and the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. And then they will retain, Comcast itself is going to retain Bravo and all the NBC properties, Telemundo, its film and TV studios, theme parks, and most importantly, Peacock, the streaming service, Peacock. They claim that Peacock is going hell's bells. They got a 29% increase in paid subscribers in the last quarter, according to Comcast. And the revenue increased 82%. I'm sure that had a lot to do with the Olympics.
Starting point is 00:19:18 And they also have some NFL and some specific college game football that they're airing on Peacock now. But, you know, it's no problem. I do have it now. Forget. I got it so I could watch some of the NFL games that are only going to be on Peacock specifically. And I got it with, you know, the commercials, the cheapest one you could get. And I was just going to get it for the NFL stuff and then, you know, and have it. And then my wife said, ooh, there's some other stuff on here that I kind of like.
Starting point is 00:19:48 So we'll have it for now. We'll see how long that lasts. But Comcast, breaking it off. saying bye-bye to CNBC and MSNBC, E, sci-fi, golf channel, USA, Oxygen, Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes. Wow, you'd think that they'd be able to make some money on some of those channels, but apparently not. And I'd forgotten that they were involved in the theme park
Starting point is 00:20:15 because I said they're keeping the theme parks. So they're prepping to open Universal's Epic Universe in Orlando next year, and that's supposed to be the most technologically advanced theme park to open ever. I see where Six Flags has announced that their King de Kha, the world's tallest roller coaster, will be removed from the park. Wait, what? Yeah, it's going to be replaced with a multi-world record-breaking launch roller coaster in 2026. So those of you that are excited about, you know, riding on King to Ka,
Starting point is 00:20:53 That's going away. And sorry about it. I mean, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? Well, it looks like Target isn't doing too well either. You know, we were told that Target was doing wonderful. And now we're told, oh, not really. Not really.
Starting point is 00:21:11 They reported its largest earnings blunder in two years and cut its full year outlook down. They reported profit shrank, 12% to $854 million from $9771 million during the same period last year. That was below the bottom end of targets forecast and 20% lower than Wall Street's expectations. Ooh, that will not bode well for the stock. Same store revenue declined 1.9%. But a 10.8 jump in online business helped keep them comparable, I guess.
Starting point is 00:21:50 They still fell well short of their projected analysis. Digital and in-person traffic actually increased 2.4%. But that was thanks to all the price cuts that they had. So I guess according to Target, shoppers spent less on appliances, toys, and other non-essential purchases that account for almost half of Target's business. CEO with Brian Coromwell, he's a, I love Brian, also costs Target extra to rush shipments in preparation for the October port strike that ultimately only lasted four days.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Costco and Amazon still going strong. Walmart still going strong saying their comparable sales grew 5.3%. So what's happening, Target? Why aren't you doing that well? I don't know what's going on over there at the old bullseye. And poor old Jay Leno, what happened to Jay? I mean, this guy's had, you know, he caught himself on five. as the car exploded not long ago.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Well, apparently he had a really bad fall. He broke his wrist, sustained significant bruising on his face and body, lost a fingernail. I guess he and he had a big black eye covered with an eye patch as he went to do this comedy event in Beverly Hills. So he insisted he's fine and he took a nasty fall outside his hotel. yeah nasty fall is right man he said that he was at the hotel and this was i think in pennsylvania in pittsburg and he was going to go out and grab something to eat and the restaurant was just you know over there and then he came down to this little this hill and decided that yeah i can just hop down this hill oh no and the next thing you know it was like 60 feet he's rolling down the side
Starting point is 00:23:53 of this hill and those hills are are tough because those are you know graded from the interstate and roadways and stuff so they're not like they're not soft landings holy cow so then he did the show he didn't go to the hospital and he did the show and then he said he went back to los angeles then he went to the hospital wow so he looked i mean he did not look good he looked he looked rough. He said he's fine. He said he's fine. The black guy, the bruised face, the fingernail, all that stuff, the bruising, his wrist, he's fine, and he just wants to move on with his life and continue to do comedy, you know, around the country. Good for him. Good for him. I know his wife is dealing with dementia now, I think, and they have to deal with that really hard. I don't
Starting point is 00:24:41 wish that on anyone for sure. But he did not want to break off his show schedule, even being When you see the pictures of a bad, he looks really, really rough. But he's in good shape. So, you know, he took the fall and he's fine. Don't worry about it. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

Who died today? Well, let's begin with Lord Prescott.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Lord Prescott, John Prescott, actually, Lord John Prescott, who was the deputy, former deputy, prime minister to Tony Blair in the United Kingdom. He was, no one was like Lord Prescott, according to Tony Blair. And his, our connection was not just a political relationship. And we had a genuine admiration, respect and affection for each other. Okay. So rest in peace, Lord John Prescott dead at the age of 86. So if you're a deer hunter and you're in Michigan, how about you get yourself in shape before you go deer hunting? Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Michigan officials are begging out of shape hunters to go to the doctor because they've lost three of them already. One doctor said, Dr. William Marone, said that I've never seen three people die in 48 hours from heart attacks while deer hunting before. Never. Huh. Okay. I wonder if that could have been brought on by anything other than just being in, you know, being overweight. I don't, you know, no. They would have said that, right? A 57-year-old man from Lincoln Park, a 65-year-old man from Bay City and an 83-year-old man from Portage. And I'm holding up my hand now. This is where Bay City is. This is Lincoln Park. And this is a portage.
Starting point is 00:27:29 They all died from heart attacks while hunting last weekend. So two of the men were hauling their respective deer carcasses. They got a deer after the hunt. Nice. And they suffered their fatal heart attacks dragging that damn deer back. Man, you know, deer hunting is a big deal in Michigan. No question is deer season. guys take off work, that's part of the deal, deer season.
Starting point is 00:27:55 I was, I'm well aware of deer season and deer hunting in Michigan. And, you know, you're wearing the big orange jacket, and you're out there with your rifles. And you're either really out there in somebody's property looking for a deer, or you're driving them. You've got your buddies out there. You're all camping. And three or four of your buddies head through the woods this way, and the other two go to the other end. And you drive the deer out. and then everybody gets a deer and you go home and you cut it.
Starting point is 00:28:24 And when you cut it, don't hit the crapsack on that deer either, man. Hang that bad boy up and gut it down the middle and watch what you're cutting. Because if you hit that craft sack when you're gutting that deer, man. Ooh, that is, that's a, that will mean a very smelly garage, a very smelly garage. So you've got until November 30th to get your deer up in Michigan. That's regular firearm deer season. and there's different specifications for different, you know, different deer seasons, the antlerless firearm season, that kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:28:57 But if you have a lot of property in Michigan, I just want to, and this is just something I've noticed. I'm not saying that it happens. And it happens all the time. There's something I've noticed that if you have your own property, it's deer season is whenever you run out of deer meat, not just the specific, hey, I'm going to go deer hunting. so just beware deer okay we all i mean i grew up with a deer head you know stuffed hanging on the wall
Starting point is 00:29:28 um and it's just part of life in michigan part of life in michigan yep that's the old dead deer the dad bought and got shot gutted eight there's the head and the antlers and it looks good there on the wall doesn't it sure enough does all right so now we have a class action lawsuit against Netflix and there's something I might sign on to, you know, just for the heck of it to see if you get any money for it. I doubt we're going to get any money for it. But a Florida man has filed
Starting point is 00:29:58 a class action lawsuit against Netflix over the poor streaming quality that affected millions during the Tyson-Paul fight. Ronald Blue Denton, a resident of Hillsborough County, Florida.
Starting point is 00:30:14 That's, you know, Tampa, West Coast of Florida. Florida's sun-drenched, West Coast. He alleged that the streaming giant was guilty of breach of contract over the frequent glitches. So the class action lawsuit filed in Florida State Court and is seeking damages of at least $50 million. I mean, how about you just give me a lifetime subscription to anything I want with nothing? Netflix to the highest level of Netflix. Nope.
Starting point is 00:30:52 I want $50 million. Okay. So 60 million Americans were hyped to see Iron Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet versus YouTube return Turner prize fighter Jake Paul. What they saw was the baddest streaming on the planet. Well, that's not really true. I mean, not everyone had that same problem. It was alleged that many viewers missed portions of the fight due to the interruptions.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Netflix customers experienced massive streaming issues and should have known better because it's happened before. They were woefully ill-prepared. I mean, I still think it wasn't them. I think some of the production issues were them, you know, with the audio. But I feel like the main video production stuff, I feel like that was the local providers, but, you know, whatever. I guess we'll find that out in the lawsuit, right?
Starting point is 00:31:41 So there were 100,000 people complaining online, boxing fans, along with average Americans, wanting to see the legend in what most likely would be his last fight were faced with legendary problems, including no access, streaming glitches, and buffering issues. Okay. We'll see. According to the website, Down Detector, nearly 85,000 viewers logged problems with outages or streaming leading up to the fight. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Good luck. Good luck. It said nearly 50 million households were turned into the co-main event, yeah, with Taylor and Amanda. We talked about that. Yeah, no problem. The bout between Tyson and Paul at AT&T, Netflix had 280 million subscribers. They had, what, 60, 120 million watching, something like that.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Good luck. Good luck. I don't think you're going to, I don't think you have a case. But if you need signatures for your class action, I'm in. I'm in. I mean, there's a lot. going on in the courts i mean we had uh the killer of uh lake and riley or the accused killer of lake and riley the 22 year old nursing student at the university of georgia uh the accused
Starting point is 00:33:00 jose antonio ibarra a venezuelan citizen who crossed the u.s mexico border illegally in 22 and then was released by border officials uh while his immigration case was awaiting review he was found guilty on Wednesday of murdering. Well, actually, he pleaded not guilty to all 10 counts, and he was found guilty on all 10 counts, including malice murder, three counts of felony murder, kidnapping and bodily injury, and aggravated assault with intent to rape. And so the malice murder is, that's something specific to Georgia. But so he's guilty, and he is going to spend life.
Starting point is 00:33:45 in prison. Huh. Life in prison. You would think that you would want the death penalty for this guy. And if ever there was a death penalty case, this guy would be it. But nope, the prosecutor, district attorney, who I believe got voted out of office, said, no, we're not getting searching. We're not going after the death penalty for I bear. So they did.
Starting point is 00:34:13 So he got life in prison. then we have the Jesse Semellette case back in our face again. His conviction for the racist homophobic attack hoax tossed out. The conviction is out because they, I guess, apparently he had his rights violated by a special prosecutor's decision to try him after initial charges against him were previously dropped. So the Illinois Supreme Court threw it out on a technicality. And, you know, okay, fine. That's fine. Guess what?
Starting point is 00:34:53 He had the conviction thrown out. He's still guilty. And we know what a doofus he is. So sorry, Jesse. You don't get to come back from that. Sorry, that's not going to happen. And then we had Susan Smith, the killer mom, was up for parole again. and she was denied again, which is good.
Starting point is 00:35:17 She deserves at least life in prison, and that's where she's going to stay. But she comes up for parole now every couple of years, and we've got to drag all the people back out and her former husband and father to the children that she killed, her two young sons. You know, they've got to drag all that memory back up, and she cried, but she never took responsibility,
Starting point is 00:35:41 and she still whacked out of her mind. and she has had some other issues in prison. I know they were talking about some of the things like she, I don't know, she has got busted with marijuana and she was in some kind of fight. That seems like everyday prison life to me. But, you know, they didn't ask me. She believed that she's a Christian now
Starting point is 00:35:59 and she knows that God has forgiven her and she's begging the panel to show some kind of mercy. Nope. I mean, there were a bunch of people there, family members and other people that were saying, no no she needs to stay in prison the only people that spoke on her behalf I believe were the minister
Starting point is 00:36:18 and the minister's wife that she gets her religious studies from in prison but no the South Carolina Board of Paroles denied her request right then all seven of them
Starting point is 00:36:35 so have a nice day her sons Alex and Michael were murdered from her and it was just a horrific crime. And then she, this was one of the first cases that made America question what we were being told on TV, I think. Because this happened in the 90s. Yeah, 1994. And she, I mean, the crime, she had her two kids, Alex and Michael.
Starting point is 00:37:06 And she had them in the back of her car and she drove them into the lake. and watch them go underwater. It's just, you could cry almost thinking about it. And you see the picture of these two boys. So, I mean, it's just hard. And she told us that she was, I forget what, she was on TV and she was talking about some black guy and the kids were missing.
Starting point is 00:37:30 And it was all calculated. And it was all, you know, she knew what she had done. And, I mean, it's just, and that's when we found out, what actually happened, then we went, you know, that's when we first started realizing, hey, all the stuff that we were hearing on the news was just BS. And when we started, that's when I, anyway,
Starting point is 00:37:54 you know, you started questioning what you're being told. And so good luck to, to her. And I hope she lives a long time in prison and suffers. because I don't think she could suffer enough for what she did to those kids.

Starting point is 00:39:15 by the Belgian artist René Magritte for $121.2 million. The artwork depicts a house with a single street lamp in front. The flame from the lamp lights up the entire canvas, including the dark trees, almost black in color. In the foreground, while the image is serenely reflected over a pool of water,
Starting point is 00:39:42 above the street-scape, a light blue sky dotted with puffy white clouds, stretches to the top of the canvas. And it was only sold for $121.2 million. My daughter has to get back to painting right now. I mean, they're selling the banana with duct tape for $6.2.4 million. And that's even more unbelievable
Starting point is 00:40:11 than we're doing a painting. Because the painting I can look at and go, yeah, that's a beautiful painting. It's beautiful. And he did a lot of work. He's got the, what's his face? Magritte. He has a bunch of work that, you know, looks beautiful.
Starting point is 00:40:26 But, you know, is it worth $121 million? Ah, I don't think so. But they claim it is. So if you have a painting by René Magritte, you may have a fortune in your back pocket with that bad boy. All right, so let's get out of here. I'll give you the joke of the day. I found one of my favorite jokes.
Starting point is 00:40:47 We had Jay Leno earlier in the show. And one of my favorite jokes of all time is a Jay Leno joke. And I couldn't remember where I'd heard him do it. And it was with Seinfeld. And I was like, okay, I remember he was walking. It was like, you know, coffee with whatever Seinfeld's show is. And he's doing, he does the goat joke. And I hope you could make it out on the show because this is an excerpt from the show.
Starting point is 00:41:13 And it's one of my favorite Jay Leno joke. and he's talking about, you know, working on new jokes, and he's walking with Seinfeld, and he tells him this new joke. The guy goes, whoa, whoa, big hole. How deep is that? He goes, I don't know, let's throw something in the hole. Let's see what I see.
Starting point is 00:41:31 They see this rusty old anvil lying over there? They drag it over. They throw the anvil. I hear it hit. Next thing they hear, they see a goat coming out of it. The goat goes, you almost knocks them over, phew, dives down the hole.
Starting point is 00:41:47 And they hear, Becky, Becky, his old farmer yelling, Becky. So the farmer sees, He's on a stop and goes, hey, you guys see a goat? Yes, we did. A goat went by us about 80 miles now and jumped in that hole. And the farmer goes, that's impossible. I had him chained to an anvil.
Starting point is 00:42:04 That's a great joke. That's a great joke, isn't it? Yes, it is. That's an awesome joke. That's impossible. I had him tied to anvil. See, because the rope was to, oh, you got the joke. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.
