Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. It appears that Duncan, formerly Duncan Donuts, only loves New Hampshire and Massachusetts. They have unleashed a brand new iced coffee bucket that holds a whopping third of a gallon. 48 ounces, the equivalent of two of their extra large options, which was their previous largest size,

So the shrinkflation shattering buckets run customers between $8 and $12, depending on the contents. The bucket can be filled with iced coffee, iced lattes, or Dunkin Refreshers, or featured flavors like blueberry cobbler ice latte. Wow. Carmel Coco iced coffee or strawberry dragon fruit lemonade refresher. Who doesn't want their daily 48 ounces of strawberry dragon fruit lemonade refreshers? I couldn't just get the bucket full of coffee. I'd be fine. No, can't do that.

This is for the iced bucket only. Oh, okay. But again, it's only available in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. There's plenty of people that are making the run to the Dover Road location in Durham, New Hampshire, Concord Road and Lee, New Hampshire, the Duncan inside the University of New Hampshire, as well as the branch on University Drive in Amherst, Massachusetts, while the Foxborough, Massachusetts location is also slated to join in on the dry run. Very, very sad that they're not doing this around the country,

but people are already grabbing as many ice buckets as they can, fearing that this is going to go away, because they have not put a limit on how much you can purchase yet, or how many 48-ounce buckets you can purchase. So kind of nice of them. I'd like the 48-ounce is. of regular coffee though. I need that to happen and I need that to go into one of their buckets immediately. I don't think that's going to happen, especially since I don't live in New Hampshire

and Massachusetts. Very sad. Duncan hates 48 states. Welcome. I'm sure they love that. Welcome to chewing the fat. Fat 5 plus. So as I'm scanning the headlines, I see really some heroes don't wear capes. These three headlines jumped out at me. A Chicago man jumped into the freezing Lake Michigan to save a baby after a huge gust of wind, blew a stroller into the water. Now, the baby was in good condition when she arrived at the hospital. Great call. Florida man, which is really strange that the mother wasn't hanging on for dear life, but I get it.

Florida man jumps in pond to save pregnant woman. Hours later, she has the baby. Incredible. and another Florida man rescued a mother and her three children after their car flipped into a canal. There you go. I mean, right there alone, those heroes do not wear capes. And yes, there are still plenty of good people in this country. Now, I tell you that, to tell you about a story that I don't know that I knew existed,

sexual assaults on airplanes are up. Huh. And according to CBS News, they're likely underreported. Are they? Okay. So they tell you a story about this lady who felt trapped in the middle seat on a flight from Chicago to Florida. This was, I don't know, back in 2023. She said the man sitting next to her in the aisle seat was visibly intoxicated,

smelled of alcohol, and continued to drink before sexually assaulting her. I already had my back, my neck grabbed, my hand grabbed, my cell phone was taken out of my hand. I had to take it back. We were close to landing, and at that point I had crossed my arms on my lap, close my eyes, and was just thinking to myself, we're finally going to land, and that's when he grabbed my breast. So she recalled breaking down in tears when she was finally able to get off the plane and report the assault of the gate agent. She pressed charges, and the guy pleaded guilty to battery.

So she claimed that it affected her job, infected her life, I was scared to travel. I had my voice heard and the amounts of counseling and therapy I've gone through. I've never gone through therapy before my life, turned my world upside down. Okay, so let's stop. for a moment. So this guy is being a jerk and he grabbed her breast. He obviously touched the back of her neck and took the phone from her, obviously a dirt bag. She doesn't want to say anything on the plane. I don't know why because if something was like that was happening on the plane and she said something then, it would be addressed. If not by the flight attendants, it would be addressed by the people who were flying on the

plane with her. So, and to have her world turned upside down because of it, okay, if you say so. If you say They say if that is something that turns your world upside down, bless your heart, because I just feel like it isn't to me. But I know if someone grabbed my breast on a flight, I would be, you know, I might be upset. Of course, I would be. But I wouldn't turn my life upside down. It would be a story that I would tell you on this program.

So apparently the FBI, the FBI has investigated more than 170 similar cases of passengers. assaulting other passengers on flights in 2024. That's up from 130 the year before. A small fraction of the millions of air travelers each year. That's where they decide that it's underreported because they have millions of flyers and they figure, oh, people aren't reporting it. Which I believe.

I believe that someone who may be on a flight and had her breast touch, I'm not laughing at it. I just find it really funny that these dirt bags think that they could do that and just get away with it. You're out of plane and she's sitting next to you and you think you can just touch her anywhere you want, a bunch of dirtbags.

Report them right then. Don't even wait until you get to the gate agent. Report the dirt bag right then. Holy cow. So if you're on a flight, this is my advice to you. If you're on a flight and somebody reaches out and grabs the back of your neck and takes your phone and then touches your breast, ah, you need to call the flight attendant, the flight stewardess, the air waitresses,

and you need to tell him what's going on immediately. Right in front of the guy's face. Tell him to stop it. He's already drunk. They shouldn't have... I mean, it's just agonizing. Don't put up with it. It shouldn't turn your life upside down.

Don't put it up with the dirtbags. That's my advertisement for you. It shouldn't turn your life upside down. Just report the dirt bags, period. You know, speaking of dirt bags, I see where the list of members of the billings... Bohemian Grove, the long list of names, has been published. I know.

So, I mean, everybody's heard about the Bohemian Grove, right? I mean, it's the secret society. You know, there's thousands of people that have gone there. It's in Mount Rio, California, north of San Francisco. Apparently, they don't, they said that we don't publish a list for the list of members, and we don't disclose it as a private organization. Okay. So, I mean, it's up among the redwoods.

And it's been a closely guarded secret for 150 years. Now, Alex Jones got caught breaking into that place. That's where they burn the giant owl. And apparently, this doesn't say, but, you know, they've eaten the, they're eating babies. Everybody's eating babies these days. I don't know what's going on, but everybody's eating babies. And I guess you, one man was thrown out of the club for jumping and swimming in the lake in front of the owl shrine.

Yeah, you can't do that. Don't be doing that. Some have been suspended for having electronics. No cell phones. Computers are allowed. You don't be bringing your cell phones. There's no nudity. If there was, they would be thrown out instantly.

Right. Okay. You say so. So they had this long list of people that belong to the Bohemian Club. And it's special club. I have not, I'm not a member. sorry to disappoint you. I'm not part of the Illuminati-style organization.

Very, very sad that I'm not, actually. That's a little thing. Just between you and me. Now, I know people are upset about being on the Jeffrey Epstein list, and there's a lot of dirtbags on that list, too. No question. But I am really bummed that my name is not on that list somewhere. Somewhere.

Somewhere. Maybe, you know, like he was emailing me, or I ended up on a flight with them going to Africa for some trip, you know, something like that, just so that I was on the list, but I'm not. And this Bohemian Grove thing. Am I, I, have been invited by a member?

So my name ended up on a list? Nope, never was. So very sad. So the club's motto is weaving spiders come not here, which is Shakespeare's from a midsummer's night dream, meaning you have to leave your business

outside. Oh, okay. So weaving spiders come not here. That's our motto. Make sure that you keep that in your mind at all times. Okay. What happens among the trees during the two weeks in July has sparked numerous claims of bizarre rituals and even wild accusations of human sacrifice. Yeah, they talk about eat babies. Just like everybody, we just eat babies. Okay. So some of the names on the list. that we may know. You know, there's plenty of names on the list that you're not really sure who they are. You just know that, you know, they're probably part of some dirt baggy people. But we have Paul Pelosi, Nancy's husband, of course.

Jimmy Buffett is the weirdest one, I think. Well, Conan O'Brien is right there along with Jimmy Buffett. All right. Documentary, Ken Burns. Yeah. Jim Belushi, okay. Maybe he went with a friend or something. he doesn't seem like the type that would be there all the time, but maybe he is. As far as I know about Jim Palucci, I think he's, you know, growing pot up in Oregon or Washington State.

Ken Burns, they have the documentary. Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. Michael Bloomberg, Charles Koch is on the list. I'm sure. I'm sure Charles was there. Maybe he didn't bring his brother along. That's what's going on with that? And we have, what's his face?

Henry Kissinger on the list. Okay. And the Bohemian Grove Bureau Chief, Dirk Matheson, you know, was by San Francisco Bureau Chief, Dirk Matheson, who had hiked into the secret compound. He was recognized by an executive from Time Warner and got him thrown out. Oh, okay. He's the first guy that tried to talk about the Bohemian Grove, and it didn't work out well. Yeah, I'm sorry.

Dirk wasn't on the list. I didn't mean to apply that Dirk was, you know, was on the list. He was trying to break the story about the Bohemian Grove and all their dirt bags. So they have 2,200 Bohemian Grove members. I don't know, that was like two or three years ago. So have some of them, I'm sure Bill Gates is on the list and he, you know, he's not showing up anymore. Actually, let me apologize. I don't know that I saw Bill Gates.

name on the list. He actually has apologized to his team for, you know, meeting up with his Russian, his Russian friendly women. Taking care of a little business with Bill. One was a bridge player and one was some sort of nuclear physicist. Uh-huh. Sure. That's what she was. No problem. but that's it though that's it there wasn't anything illegal in that and there's not except that you know maybe he was married and he was you know having illicit affairs

or cheating on his wife that's all don't even worry about that he certainly didn't be sure to follow me on my social media at Jeffrey JFR on X Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and Instagram you can follow me on YouTube chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher

Every day on Pat Gray Unleashed, I do a Fat 5 segment, and that's why this Chewing the Fat Show has turned into chewing the fat, the fat, the fat plus. Still, you know, technically called Chewing the Fat.

I just added the Fat 5 Plus because I stole the plus when Apple threw their plus away. It was in the trash. I mean, it was for anybody to pick up, so I took it. It's mine now. It's the way it goes.

You can always hear me on Saturday mornings as well. Saturday morning live, I do a show with Brad Staggs. It's on my ex account at Jeffrey JFR. Just watch it there live, a 9 a.m. Central Time Saturday morning live. We do it live, so that's called Saturday.

morning live weird but i just saw a video from brad you know at real brad stags uh which the show is uh airs on as well uh that uh apparently his studio which the show's power and energy originates from i just sit in my living room and talk to you brad does all the work so it's nice to have him around apparently his studio was smoking and there was some electricity issues with the studio so That could be a problem for Saturday morning live this week. So for those of you listening live, it is the 27th of February, 2026. Wow. Last weekend of February.

Amazing. Also, oh my gosh, the 27th. It's the birthday of my youngest son. Happy birthday to Maximus, who you know, you know, co-host Talking Walking Dead when we did that. We haven't done one in a long time, and I don't know that it's ever coming back. but Maximus, my youngest son turns, I don't know, somewhere in his 20s. It's 24, shut up. Yeah, I don't like to talk about it much, but, you know, happy birthday to him.

Wow, it seems like, it just seems like yesterday when Max was born, and it wasn't, though. It was 24 yesterdays. Anyway, well, it was more than that, but I'm not going to do the math. But my point was, is that there may be an issue with Saturday morning live if Brad can't get up and running. So just look for Saturday morning live every Saturday on my ex account at Jeffrey JFR. Brad puts it up on other platforms as well. But the only one that you need to care about is at Jeffrey JFR. Anything else is just extra.

Okay. Netflix says no. Amazing. They were in the bidding to purchase Warner Brothers. I'm sorry, Warner Brothers Discovery. and they have now declined to increase their offer. David Zazlov, Paramount Skydance, put in a new bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. And Netflix had until next Wednesday, or this coming Wednesday, to make a increase in their offer or say no. They didn't even wait.

Hell, Sarandos and Peters, the co-CEOs of Netflix, they were in Washington, D.C., where at least Ted was, and they were dealing with the Justice Department and saying, hey, we're good. We need to be able, this deal needs to happen. We need to, you know, take over Paramount Skydance. And then they just got this new offer from Paramount. And they were like, okay, well, we're done then.

Have a nice day. We want nothing to do with it. They put out a statement, a joint statement. It says, we believe we would be, we would have been strong stewards of Warner Brothers, iconic brands. and that our deal would have strengthened the entertainment industry and preserved and created more production jobs in the U.S. But this transaction was always nice to have at the right price,

not a must have at any price. Wow. So now that the Netfield Flicks deal is dead, I mean, that included buying Warner Brothers and HBO Max. That was valued at $83 billion. Paramount's latest bid. was approximately $11 billion bid for the entirety of Warner Brothers, including its linear cable channels.

And among the parts of Paramount's new bid that the Warner Bros. Discovery Board says it found more favorable to Netflix offer, were the increased purchase price to $31 a share in cash, increasing a regulatory breakup fee of $7 billion in the event the transaction does not close due to regulatory matters. And Paramount is going to have to pay $2.8 billion, the termination fee, which Warner Brothers would be required to pay to Netflix

to terminate its existing Netflix merger agreement. So they're going to have to pay the $2.8 million. And if this doesn't happen, they've got to pay $7 billion. And that leaves Paramount out in the wind. Nobody wanting to buy. If that were to happen, for sure, a Paramount is going to, have to, Paramount is going to have to pay the $2.8 billion to Netflix.

So that's a done deal because that's over, right? And Netflix said no. So then if the deal doesn't go through, they're going to have to pay $7 billion. I would say that if the deal doesn't go through with Paramount, then that's what Netflix will come back to the board. It's just incredible. The letter was incredible from Netflix. It went on and saying, you know, we're going to do what we do.

We're Netflix. You be you, boo. what we're going to be Netflix. And good luck. God bless. We thought it would be a great thing, but you didn't. And we're going to be over here. We're going to spend another $20 billion on production and content next year. And we'll just be Netflix.

I would like to say Netflix, if you'd like to spend, you know, a little money on a show called Chewing the Fat, I'm here. I'm here for you. You can just slide a few dollars into my PayPal. at Jeffey CTF into my PayPal and then I'm working for you and we'll put a show on for you every day Chewing the Fat on Netflix. I'm a fan of that.

So Paramount is now expected to own if it goes through, they will own assets to TNT, CBS, CNN, MTV, T-CM, Showtime, Adult Swimp, DC Studios, Paramount Plus, Nickelodeon, HBO, HBO Max, Comedy Central, Cartoon Network. They'll have film rights for Star Trek,

Gremlins, Beetlejuice, DC Comics, Tom and Jerry, Harry Potter, Citizen Kane, Transformers, The Quiet Place, Looney Tunes, Conjuring, Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones, Door the Explorer, Mission the Impossible, Lord of the Rings, SpongeBob Square Pants, Avatar, The Last Airbender, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dune 3, Minecraft distribution rights, distribution rights, I mean, that's a big deal. You can quote beyond that. That's a big deal, and that's why they want it. And that's why they think they that it's worth $11 billion. Well, actually, they're going to have to pay the $2.8 billion, right? So now you're up to $113 plus, maybe $114 billion. So good luck, God, but I hope it all works out. I hope everybody gets exactly what they want. You remember when the TV show Survivor started? Oh, you don't?

Well, once they, when it was air in that first couple of seasons, he thought, oh, that's kind of cute. It's a cute little thing. Well, it's now on its 50th season. I am just amazed at that. 50th season. It's on CBS Wednesday nights. Jeff Prost is still the host.

I mean, holy cow. This year is 24 contestants. Million dollars. It's the golden season bringing back original players and fan favorites to a Fiji's Mama Nuka Islands. And who doesn't want to go to the Mama Nuka Islands? I certainly am not opposed to going there. but it has aired 714 episodes and specials across 15 countries and crown 49 winners.

Some of the numbers that they have put up for Survivor is actually pretty incredible. More than 50 million people have watched Survivor's first finale, first season finale, which is, I mean, that first season was, like I said, it was like, oh, that was cool. No problem. It's just amazing. It was based on 1997, a Swedish series called Expedition Robinson. Oh, okay. I mean, it's its own phenomenon now, but I don't know that I knew that.

It was based on the Expedition Robinson. It tests contestants, physical, mental, and social strength. Yeah, it does do that. 50 seasons later, okay? It's back, I mean, how many, 50 seasons? You know the catalog, how much that catalog is worth to watch Survivor, to go up on Paramount Plus or Netflix or CBS.com or whatever the hell platform you put it on, I mean, it's worth a small fortune.

And it's already, you know, created a small fortune. It's the most watched Emmy nominee last year, okay? 462.4 million viewing hours during the award shows year-long eligibility period. That's just last year. That's more than double than any other nominee in any of the categories. It's actually more than the rest of the reality competition nominees put together. together. So congratulations to Survivor.

Wow. Oh, congratulations all to Bill Duke. Bill Duke just got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Now, Bill Duke is one of those actors. You go, oh, yeah, that guy. He is one of those, oh, yeah, that guy. He's been in all kinds of great movies. He's finally got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I mean, when you see him, you'll remember him from the movies he was in.

Predator, Commando, Black Lightning, Car Wash. I mean, his predator and Commando character is just awesome. And when you look at Bill Duke, you know, oh yeah, that guy. So congratulations to Bill. He finally got the 2,837 star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Congratulations. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Martin Short's daughter. I know, not Martin Short. Oh, my gosh. Martin Short's daughter, Catherine, has died at the age of 42. Now, she died from suicide. A self-inflicted gunshot wound.

What is happening? I don't, I mean, holy cow. It's all. It's all. It's a self-inflicted gunshot wound. It's a self-inflicted gunshot wound. I don't. I don't. I mean, it's all. almost an epidemic now. The LAPD and the fire department responded to her Hollywood Hills home and she was found deceased. I mean, it's so sad to have anyone lose their life. But his daughter,

Catherine Hartley Short, of course, I mean, I'm sure they're devastated by the loss, took her own life at the age of 42. Rest and peace. Very sad. I mean, there's, there's All the help you need. I guess you're just embarrassed not to get it.

But you just dial 988. That's the lifeline. It's the suicide and crisis lifeline. Duh. And just use it. It's there. I say this over and over again. If you think that this earth is better off without you on it, you're wrong.

But, you know, more people believe that that's wrong. So rest in peace to Catherine Short, dead at the age of 42. Okay. Can we talk for a little bit as adults here for a second? Highway Patrol officer Miguel Cano has passed away at the age of 34. Now, he died back in July, rest in peace, to CHP officer Miguel Cano, dead at the age of 34. Now, he passed away back in July, and they're claiming that he died from a fentanyl overdose. Okay, because apparently he had been dealing.

dealing with an overdose victim prior to his death. Okay. So Cano had been driving back to the office with the DUI suspect in custody when he suddenly crashed his vehicle. The Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner released a statement saying Cano's death was due to the effects of fentanyl. Really? Okay.

But during the arrest of the DUI suspect was allegedly in possession of a firearm, possibly cocaine, and drug paraphernalia. Concerned the suspect was overdosing, Cano administered Narcan, which is, you know, the nasal spray. And then as the officers and the suspect drove back to the office, Cano reportedly said he wasn't feeling well,

crashed into a tree. He was then taken to UCLA Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. And the time and the route on how fentanyl was introduced to Cano remain unknown and cannot be determined. Yet, the medical examiner still ruled in an accident

and then said it was. was because of fentanyl. Interesting. I have said all along that I don't believe the whole fentanyl, you touch it and you die. I just don't believe it. If that were the case, if that were the case, there were plenty of places in this country that have blocks of fentanyl, you know, up in the air and that we'd all be dead. I just, it's just, it's amazing to me that it's believed to be that harmful, that quick. And apparently now that's actually being talked about

because for the longest time, it wasn't. We just had to believe it. And according to this, it's a common misconception that fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin, but it's not true for casual exposure. You can't overdose on fentanyl by touching a doorknob or a dollar bill. Thank you.

This was the UC Davis Health Assistant Professor and a co-medical director for the Department of Emergency Medicine, and Dr. Daniel Colby. So, hello, I'm saying that now we're talking about it can't happen. So if they're not sure what he died of, how are they saying that it was because of a fentanyl overdose? I just, it's just, okay.

I mean, do I want people to overdose on fentanyl? No. Do I want people to touch it and die? No. Do I think that it is that deadly that you can touch it and die? No, I do not. But hopefully some of the experts are coming around now and will say, my gosh, you know what, Jeff Fisher,

too in the fact, was correct. But I doubt that they will say that or that it will happen, but it should. All right, let's get out of here. I got a couple, we might as well do a couple of jokes of the day. Just since it's Friday, and I miss the last. couple of days of chewing the fat fat five plus and in the honor of uh you know it's been it's been a few days since we've won the gold medal in hockey last sunday was incredible uh sunday morning to watch our men's hockey team win the gold medal it was incredible to watch the women too yeah you have

to say that now uh if you if you say that you loved watching the men win their gold medal you have to immediately say and the women's was great too you really should start with the women you you'd say, hey, how about even if you want to just talk about the men. You start with, hey, how about the women's hockey team, huh? They won the gold medal in overtime, two to one. So did the men. And boy, was the men's win a lot better than the women's.

Oh, no, you can't say that. Never mind. So I've got a couple of jokes here. And based on hockey, just in honor of our gold medal teams, okay? This joke came from Monica and Doug. And Monica made a point in the email that this joke was specifically

from Doug. So at least they're trying. Okay, this is, at least they're trying from this, all right? And, you know, I chuckled. Do you know why women's gold medal Olympic team is not going to the White House to visit Trump? No, I don't know why. They just had to play through three periods. See, that's why she said it was from Doug. Yeah, I got it.

And then I got this joke from Susan. said that she heard this joke and thought of me. So, not her joke. Why do hockey rinks have curved corners? I don't know. Why do coffee rinks have, or I mean hockey rink, coffee rings. Why do hockey rinks have curved corners? Because if they were 90 degrees, the ice would melt.

Yeah, what she's trying to say is, you got it. to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
