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. So now, launchables bad. The advocacy group Consumer Reports is urging, urging the federal government.
Starting point is 00:00:30 to remove lunchables from the national free and reduced price school lunch program after an analysis found high amounts of sodium and elevated levels of heavy metals. They want to remove lunchables from the national school lunch program and ensure that kids in schools have healthier options. They found high levels of sodium. detected lead and cadmium, and also observed the presence of phallates, which I guess can impact reproductive health and the human hormonal system. The USDA spokesman said, you know, the department doesn't allow or disallow individual food items. We set requirements for the overall nutritional content of meals on a daily or weekly basis. So the luncheables described in the article would need to be
Starting point is 00:01:28 paired with fruit, vegetables, and milk. In addition, a school who wanted to serve a higher sodium product one day has to balance that with lower sodium items on others. Kraft Hines was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second. All of our products meet strict safety standards and that lead and cadmium occur naturally in the environment and may show up in food at low levels. We are proud of luncheables and to stand by the quality and integrity that goes into making them. Of course you do.
Starting point is 00:02:05 There was no mention from Kraft Hines, at least in the statement that I saw, about the phallates, which they found a presence of, which, according to them, impact reproductive health and human hormonal systems. Interesting. Consumer reports says two varieties of luncheables are currently served as part of the school luncheastern. programs, the turkey and cheddar cracker stackers, which are pretty good. And they also tested extra cheesy pizza, which I'm not necessarily a fan of. The group tested store-bought versions of those varieties and found that they had 74% and 69% of the California lead maximum. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Consumer reports said it used California's threshold for lead as a benchmark for testing rather than the federal limit because hey california standard is currently the most protective okay uh they tested 12 meal kits in total including lunchibles of other brands and found at least one type of phallate in every kit except the extra cheesy pizza variety okay so the turkey and cheese variety in schools has 930 milligrams of sodium compared to 740 milligrams found in commercially available kits, and the pizza has 700 milligrams of sodium, and the options sold in stores had 510 milligrams. To be clear, none of these amounts exceeded any legal limit for lead in food, which Kraft-Hin
Starting point is 00:03:48 says in its statement. All of our products tested well below the acceptable limits, and there is no recall. of lunchables right now there's a petition that wants to pull them from the nation's school lunch program so you go ahead and make your own choice but be ready for your kids to be enjoying those bugs for school lunch programs because it's all about their health welcome welcome to chewing the fat oh my who died today? Who died today? So I'm looking at a post on X on the O.J. Simpson account. And it reads on April 10th. If you're listening live today is the 11th of April 24. So yesterday, April 10th,
Starting point is 00:04:50 our father, Orenthall James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. Wow. O.J. Simpson, dead at the age of 76. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asked that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace. Signed the Simpson family. Holy cow. O.J. Simpson.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Dead at the age of 76. Now, he hasn't posted anything on X since the Super Bowl. So he hasn't been well. But prior to the Super Bowl, a couple of days before the Super Bowl, he posted this. Hospice? You're talking about hospice? The hospital, I don't know who put that out there, but whoever put that out there,
Starting point is 00:05:49 I guess it's like the Donald's sake. Can't justice the media? In any of them, I'm hosting a ton of friends for the Super Bowl here in Las Vegas. All is well, you know, so, hey. All right, we will, OJ, no problem. That was February 9th. So the word was out that he was not well. But two days later, the day of the Super Bowl, he posted this.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Hey, X-World is me. It's truly. Boy, what a beautiful day it is here in Las Vegas. Even though the game is indoors, it wouldn't matter. But still, it's nice to have a beautiful day like this. Yes. Let me take a moment to say thank you to all the people who've reached out to me. my health is good
Starting point is 00:06:39 I mean obviously I'm going to some issues but hey I think I'm just about over it and I'll be back on that golf courts hopefully in a couple of weeks but it was very nice hearing from you and hearing
Starting point is 00:06:52 those good positive words thank you and then he goes on to talk about the Super Bowl obviously he's wearing his 49ers jersey and he you know is a San Francisco guy for the Super Bowl that was February 11th
Starting point is 00:07:05 the day of the Super Bowl Now the reason that everybody was concerned about him or a child saying that he was in hospice is that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February, the same month as the Super Bowl there early on in February, which he talked about saying that he obviously has issues. And so then obviously it was worse than everyone thought. And it wasn't too long until we find out that he passed away yesterday on the 10th of April 24.
Starting point is 00:07:39 I do remember he died from prostate cancer, by the way. If it was that, they would have said something. I mean, sure, he bragged about getting safely medicated with the vaccine. But that's it.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Sure he got one, but that didn't have anything to do with him actually getting prostate cancer and then dying. That would be stupid. O.J. Simpson, rest in dead at the age of 76. You know, the other day, before the sentencing took place, we talked about it and we didn't
Starting point is 00:08:16 realize, you know, how long the family was going to get sentenced. James and Jennifer Crumbly in Michigan, the parents of Ethan Crumbly, who was shot up the school. They were convicted of involuntary manslaughter in their son, Ethan's. deadly shooting at Oxford High School in 2021. Wow. I find that amazing. They're the first parents ever to be charged, then convicted in their child's mass shooting
Starting point is 00:08:50 at a U.S. school where they both were sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison after they faced, you know, all the victims. And I'm very sorry for these parents. I would never wish that on. Anyone. Not a single person, but it happened. And Ethan is in prison for it. I find it really difficult to be okay with putting the parents of a child that did this in prison. Just really, really bad in my eyes. I know that doesn't make them nice people. It doesn't mean they were great. You know, I get it. We want to blame someone, but we did. We did blame.
Starting point is 00:09:42 We blamed the shooter, the person who did it. And it most definitely isn't the school's fault, right? I mean, the day before the shooting, a teacher said she found a note on Ethan's desk with a drawing of a gun and the person who had been shot, along with messages, including The Thoughts Won't Stop, Help Me. So they probably, the school then called the parents for a meeting. but officials testified that they declined to bring him home because they had to go back to work. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I mean, okay, I get it. The officials also said that if the parents had informed them that their son had access to a gun, they would have been more authoritative and to ensure immediate safety. I mean, I guess we believe him, but I don't know that that's true. So then he went on to shoot people later in the afternoon, killing Baldwin, Schilling, Tate Meyer, and Hannah and Giuliana.
Starting point is 00:10:42 It's just sad. Hannah St. Giuliani. She was 14. Tate Meyer was 16. The whole thing is sad. The whole thing is terrible. And I feel so sorry for the parents and obviously I feel sorry for the kids. Jesus, I didn't deserve any of it.
Starting point is 00:10:58 But, I mean, we're putting the parents of children who committed a crime in jail. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. And I'm probably wrong. I know. We've got to take care of those parents that aren't taking care of those little bastards that are running around, take responsibility. Where are the parents? I know. I know. I understand. I get it. I get it. But my gosh, at some point, at some point we have to believe in personal responsibility and blaming the children for the sins.
Starting point is 00:11:37 of the father, now we're blaming, you know, children for, we're blaming parents for their children's sins. And I don't know what age we cut that off. I mean, Ethan was, I think, 16 at the time. He's now 17. And he pleaded guilty as an adult. So, I mean, he's in prison. I don't know. I just, the whole thing is sad. You can quote me on that. The whole thing is just sad. you know what else would be sad is if you went somewhere and needed some medication and weren't able to get it. Just like it was back during the pandemic, today we're facing drug and medical supply shortages here in the United States. As of March, there were more than 200 drug shortages here, and it's looking like it's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets any better. Healthcare experts have pointed to shortages, domestic production, and the drug supply

Starting point is 00:14:21 See app for details. So I did Pat Gray's overtime on Blaze TV today. And if you have a chance, you can go back and watch it. We played the trailer, the new trailer that just dropped of Joker to Filet adieu with Joaquin. Joaquin, I'm sorry. Falae adieu. Yakin, it's Joaquin. Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga
Starting point is 00:14:43 and it looks really, really good. We played it on Blaze TV. Pac-ray overtime. Pack-ray unleashed overtime. Man, I was a little concerned. It might not be up to par. That was a mistake. Todd Phillips is the director.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Some of the shots just in the trailer were awesome. I mean, he had a budget of a couple hundred million. So it's going to be really, really good. I see I mean, Joaquin decided that this is the you know what?
Starting point is 00:15:17 I've never reprised a role that I've done. So you know what? This is, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do Joker again. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:15:25 okay, so he only paid me about four and a half, five million last time. I need 20 million for part two. And they gave it to him. And Gaga got 12 million
Starting point is 00:15:35 to come in. And it's just as Harley Quinn. And she will look awesome in the trailer. I know it's just a trailer. I got it a couple of minutes, two and a half minutes, something like that.
Starting point is 00:15:46 It looked really good. I'm really looking forward to it. Although we have to wait until October. October. 10-4.24 is the release date. I'm not quite sure I understand that. But, okay, you know, whatever. We're here.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Well, we're waiting for it. We'll be ready for filet adieu. I don't think it's filet. It's not. Filet adieu. I don't know if I said filet or not. Well, that's what I was thinking. So,
Starting point is 00:16:20 for lay adieu. Then we get news from Margot Robbie and her company. I was reading this and I'm not sure that Margo was going to be in it, but it's her company, Lucky Chap, and her partners, Tom Ackerly and Jose McNamara, are producing a live action feature
Starting point is 00:16:40 your film based on Monopoly. Hasbro Entertainment is going to help with the production as well. So I guess, you know, why would you have to make this movie without Margot Robbie in it? Hello, She's the Draw.
Starting point is 00:16:56 So they're in development for the board game. According to the studio, Monopoly is the world's most popular board game brand. 99% global awareness. It's available available in more than 100 countries
Starting point is 00:17:12 across the globe, selling nearly half a billion copies going back to 1935. Wow. I mean, who gets to play Uncle Pennybags? It's, I mean, who gets to be the shoe, the horse? I don't know. I do
Starting point is 00:17:30 not have a Margot Robbie game piece. I'm willing to, I'm willing to have one. I mean, I've always loved Monopoly. I've played it for years. I know it can be elongated and take forever, but there are shortcuts that you can take to shorten it up. And it would
Starting point is 00:17:49 be funny. Maybe that's what they're going to do with the movie. They start out and then they find shortcuts and work it out. I don't know. I don't know how you make I haven't been in any of the talks. I have some ideas of what it might be. But amazingly, they have not reached out. So if Margot and her company or Lucky Chap or Hasbro Entertainment,
Starting point is 00:18:17 you know, reach out, I'm here for you. You can email me, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. You can reach out to me on X at Jeffrey JFR. You can reach out to me on Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can reach out to me on Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can reach out to me on my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Or you can just email me anytime, chewing the fat.
Starting point is 00:18:40 the fat at the blaze.com and i'm willing to sit down with margot or lucky chap's partners or hasbro entertainment and uh you know just let's throw some ideas out there okay i'm here for you i am here for you can we chat a little bit about kevin costner i am a huge fan i've made no bones about that i love kevin costner's work i don't know what kind of guy he is you know whatever Kevin and I, again, we haven't hung out. Kevin, you can email me, you can reach out to me on the social media accounts. If you want to hang out, we'll get together. I'm happy to do that for you.
Starting point is 00:19:20 But so Kevin does an interview with entertainment tonight. And obviously he's hawking his new horizon in American saga, which looks good. It looks a lot like what Taylor Sheridan's been doing over there as far as Yellowstone and 1883 and 1920. Yeah, more 1883-ish, but, you know, Taylor Sheridan-ish, Bash Reeves, that kind of thing. It's been, it looks like Taylor Sheridan, but it's called Horizon American Saga. And I know he's got a couple of films coming out, one and I don't know, one's coming out in summer and one's coming out in fall, Horizon One, Horizon Two, whatever there.
Starting point is 00:19:59 However, he's running that process. And he's in this interview, he says, oh, yeah, you know, We all know about the issues that he had with filming, and then, of course, they had the strike. So we know that Yellowstone is going to be back up season five part two in November of this year, or it's supposed to anyway. And he's in the interview. You know, I'd like to be able to do Yellowstone, but we haven't been able to. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:20:30 Kevin. Okay. I know you're trying to rewrite history a little bit, and you want everybody to believe that you're a good guy, and we still do, but let's not rewrite history with the John, because those shows are already done. There's only a couple of ways that the beginning of season five part two can begin, right? John Dutton, which is Kevin Costner's character, either has to die or he has to be gone away on some African hunting trip
Starting point is 00:21:03 or he's on a cruise somewhere and can't be reached, no one would believe. So the only way that we can, you know, maybe John paid a bunch of money and went to space and he's living on the, he's living on the ISS. And look, we can see Dad now when you go out on the back 40 and there's the ISS passing over the country. And look, we can almost make our dad looking down on us. We can do that or he dies.
Starting point is 00:21:31 And we have flashbacks of what happened. We have flashbacks. You know, they all have their little flashbacks of the funeral. and what happened and how he died and who found him and the process of Yellowstone still continues because this is it. They're done at the end of this. They've created a new Yellowstone offshoot
Starting point is 00:21:50 that's supposed to start filming, but this, the Yellowstone anchor, is done. I really thought it would be, I planned on doing seven seasons. And I thought we could still, you know, work this out and somewhere along the long, I know, they wanted to change things. They wanted to change things.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Oh, okay. All right. Now, you know, they talk about, well, you know, I tried to break the log jam. And then they walked away. So it's all on them. It had nothing to do with Kevin whatsoever. Oh. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:22:31 So I'm a fan of Kevin. And, you know, am I going to see Horizon, an American? Saga, chapter 1 and Chapter 2, you bet. It's probably going to be really, really awesome. Like I said, one comes out in June, one comes out in August. I mean, he's talking about, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:22:49 Horizon and American Saga. I'm sorry, saga. It's not Horizon an American Sega. It's Horizon an American saga. He's talking about having, I don't know, three or four or five parts to Horizon. Okay. And he's invested a bunch of money.
Starting point is 00:23:07 money into it. So it's got to be successful, and I'm sure that it will be. But to rewrite the history of Yellowstone and say, oh, I wanted it to come back, and maybe we could still work something out. And, you know, all those rumors about me and Taylor, although he doesn't comment about that. I just, you know, I hope it does. You know, I'd like to be able to do Yellowstone, but we haven't been able to. And I thought we were going to make seven seasons. But, you know, what are you going to do? Kevin, come on now. Just promote the stuff you got. going on and say it was a shame we couldn't end Yellowstone the way I thought it could end, but we just couldn't get together.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Thanks for showing up. Let's talk about Horizon. Don't try to just blame it all on them. I did not know this was such a big deal, but the Dune popcorn bucket, I know that it was viral. And, you know, I saw, I wrote, I read about the SNL skit. I don't, I haven't watched SNL in a while, but I see their clips from time to time. And I know that Kimmel did a bit on the Dune popcorn bucket, but it's, uh, it's kind of cool. It's, uh, you know, it looks like one of the sandworms or resembles a sandworm.
Starting point is 00:24:27 And when you reach into the bucket, your hand has to graze through the creature's plastic teeth to get your popcorn. I kind of like it. And, you know, coming out with these specific popcorn buckets, you know, I put in parentheses or quotation marks, collectors edition popcorn buckets. Uh-huh. And so, I mean, I know this house is no, we have, we do have some of those. But I just, I didn't realize that it was, you know, such a big deal. Then I see a quote from AMC's chief content officer. knows what you've been saying
Starting point is 00:25:02 about the theater chains, popcorn buckets, and the executive admitted that the internet's raunchy response to its dune-themed bucket was unexpected. Oh, really? Really?
Starting point is 00:25:12 Yeah, it's a collectible bucket. It makes up a small part of AMC's food and beverage sales. Yeah, I bet. Because you still have to pay a whole bunch more money. Not only are you paying a million dollars for the food.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Oh, did you want the collector's bucket to the limited edition collector's bucket, that'll be a million and a half. I mean, they charge a fortune for it. So, we got it. No, there's no reason for you to comment. Just say we love that it's, you know, that it's taken off, that it went viral. And we're glad that everyone either liked it or mocked it. It's a good thing. Thank you for purchasing our product. And please come back to AMC. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

Starting point is 00:26:47 one person in Oregon who said, hey, I'm the winner of the $1.326 billion dollar powerball jackpot. So congratulations. Wow. That would be sweet. Now, what would also
Starting point is 00:27:04 well, it would be sweet knowing that you have the ticket if it's the real ticket. They are saying, yeah, okay, congratulations. And but we're not getting your money just yet, okay? Wait, what? Here's the ticket. Yeah, we got to check some things.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Really? I mean, this drawing was, I guess, marred by some three-hour delay after some participating lottery needed additional time to complete required pre-draw procedures. Oh, okay. So, you know, they always come back with,
Starting point is 00:27:41 well, the rules require every single. single ticket sold be checked and verified against two different computer systems. I know. I know. And this is done to ensure that every ticket sold for the Powerball drawing has been accounted for and has an equal chance to win. And we had one jurisdiction that needs extra time to complete the pre-job process. That's what we were waiting on.
Starting point is 00:28:02 So this guy came forward, or this person came forward. We don't know if it was a guy or a girl. We just know that they came forward and said, yo, I've got the ticket here. So they say now we're working with the ticket holder. The process involves security measure and vetting. They will take time before a winner can be announced. Now, there's a few exceptions. I don't know what those exceptions are,
Starting point is 00:28:30 but it says here on the story, with few exceptions, winning players in Oregon cannot remain anonymous. Yeah, I mean, you've got to tell who won. You have to. I want to know what the exceptions are. Okay, well, the Oregon lottery says that there's no way. You cannot remain anonymous, period. Name of the winner, amount of the prize, date of the drawing,
Starting point is 00:28:55 name of the game played, and city in which the winning ticket was purchased, is public record. Interesting. But there is a story out here that says that one of the exceptions would be if a winner lives in a domestic violence situation. Huh. Okay, well, nothing has known about this particular winner, but, you know, I guess you could say, yeah, hey,
Starting point is 00:29:18 I live in a domestic violence situation. I don't want people to know who I am. I mean, you just create a corporation, and the corporation picks up the ticket, duh. Makes you just get your ducks in a row and then go collect your money. The owner, of course, it was sold at Plaid Pantry in Northeast Portland, and, you know, they're all happy, and they're happy because the store gets $100,000 bucks from the,
Starting point is 00:29:41 from the lottery. Maybe, okay, so they get 100,000 from Oregon lottery. Maybe it's a powerball thing where you can remain anonymous if you're a victim of spousal abuse. So congratulations to the person, place, or thing that came in and won the $1.3 billion powerball. That would be sweet. You can still, I mean, the powerball, the next powerball drawing, if you're listening live again, today is the 11th.
Starting point is 00:30:17 So the next powerball drawing is Saturday the 13th. And that's for 46 million jackpot, 21.5 cash payout. And the mega millions is Friday the 12th at 120 million with 55.8 as the cash payout. I would take that, but the 1.3 billion would have been sweet. Oh, shoot. You know another thing that would have been sweet? I could have gotten a free goat. I could have gotten a free goat.
Starting point is 00:30:45 I don't know that they would have sent it to me. But there's a remote Italian island overrun by wild goats. And they offered to give the animals away to anyone willing to take one. I should have. Okay, so I had until yesterday to say, hey, I'll take a few goats from you. Or as many as I wanted, apparently there was no number that, that was. they were against. There was no cap on how many goats he would give you.
Starting point is 00:31:15 The Adopt-a-Gote Initiative was deemed to be the best way of managing the issue in the most compassionate way, because they said there's no way they're calling them. They started counting the goats, and they estimated that this island, Alucudi, the smallest of Sicily's Aeolin-Iolan Archipelago, was six times the island's year-round population. So there was way too many goats is what the answer is. So I was just giving them away. And I would have said, hey, mayor, I'll take some goats from you.
Starting point is 00:31:52 What do you say? And they could be chewing the fat goats, but I only had until yesterday. Ah, gosh, darn it. I would have. Man, I could use nothing I want more in my life than a bunch of Italian island goats roaming around. No, seriously. for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

Starting point is 00:32:41 The morning will begin when passenger fisher is done celebrating. 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 1-8665-3-3-0 or visit comexonterio.ca. Okay, so we have this Italian. island that has way too many goats on it, but I missed my chance, my opportunity to get my free goats. Maybe if I reach out, maybe they'll extend the deadline. But now I also see where there's a tiny island, this Marion Island, off of South Africa,
Starting point is 00:33:13 or off the continent of Africa, way out there. The Marion Island, it's an uninhabited territory of South Africa. It's home to numerous seabird species. and now there's too many mice. And I'll tell you what, I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count onto why there's too many mice.
Starting point is 00:33:34 You guessed it, climate change. But that doesn't stop them. We don't care we've got to destroy the mice because the island is globally significant, is it? Because it has 30 bird species and a rare, undisturbed, habitat. Well, I guess it's not undisturbed now because of mice for wandering elbitrosses. How do you think they could take care of themselves? You know, the wandering albatrosses with the 10-foot wingspan and a whole bunch more.
Starting point is 00:34:11 So the island, I guess, was undisturbed until a stowaway mice arrived on seal hunter ships in the early 1800s. and that was the beginning of the end. The past few decades have been the most significant for the damage the mice have caused. You know why?
