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. Well, hello. How are you?

Good to see you. You look great, by the way. I don't care what anybody says. You look great. So the big news that, well, one of the big news stories that everyone is talking about over this past holiday weekend, Black Friday, by the way, it happened. Derek Chauvin, the police officer that, you know, was found guilty of killing George Floyd, was attacked in prison at Tucson's federal correctional facility. And prison officials claim that the person responsible for the violent. attack was another inmate.

Well, that's good. I'm happy to know it wasn't a guard. The assault happened. Then he was immediately taken to medical section of the facilities. Doctor performed life-saving care. And that's pretty much all we know. Now, it is part of the FCI Tucson, which oversees about 380 inmates. There have been suspended visitations until further notice. We don't want anybody in, anybody out.

We don't want anybody to know anything. We don't know the motives behind the stabbing. Right. So we're finding that out. One of the big things that I found fascinating in almost every story, we talk about how the parents were not informed. Okay, well, Derek is 47 years old.

All right. He was convicted on state charges of second-degree, unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree man-send. slaughter. He was sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison. A few months later, he pleaded guilty to federal charges of depriving Floyd of his civil rights and was sentenced to 21 years in prison.

So he's an adult male, and I don't understand why the first call would be to his parents. But I digress. And no matter what you think about, whether about the murder of George Floyd, whether it was murder, whether it was and was it the fentanyl. killed him, wasn't the police officer that killed him, he was convicted, and he pleaded guilty to federal charges when he was convicted on state charges. So there is that. I just find it interesting that we were concerned that they didn't call mom. That's all. That's all. I know it's just me. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. They're still trapped. We talked about this before we left on Thanksgiving break.

Efforts to rescue the 41 trapped Indian workers inside a collapsed tunnel in northern Utiracan State. I'm sure that's exactly how it's pronounced. U-T-T-A-R-A-K-H-A-N-D. Amorphophalus.

Pretty sure it's not that. That enters their third week. The rescuers have three separate digging approaches to the enclosed laborers. All 41 men, I guess, are in good health, receiving regular hot meals, water, and medicine via a small pipe. I'm guessing that's where the air is coming from as well. The collapse occurred on November 12th amid the construction of a three-mile silkiara tunnel.

Amorphophalus. So that's not how it's pronounced. It's part of the government's char damn highway project connecting fire. Hindu pilgrimage sites. So rescuers have board horizontally through a section of nearly 200 feet of fallen rock, coming within 30 feet of the cavern before the drill hit metal girders

and malfunctioned last week. Do we not know how to drill? We need to get Harry Stamper on the deal. The superheated plasma cutter was airlifted to the region this past weekend by the military to clear the broken machine and a slower manual drilling was expensive.

to resume. Two other teams are simultaneously digging from above and from the far side of the tunnel. Officials believe breakthrough to the trapped men could occur within days. They're still trapped from November 12.

So when you think to yourself, man, I am having a bad day. Not as bad as those guys. Well, they might not be all guys. So the story says Indian workers. So could be some women in there too. Not as bad as those people. Then we have, I mean, we've got a lot of dogs in the news as well. South Korea, their ruling political party, said that they are planning to introduce a ban on dog meat.

What are the people going to eat? The consumption of dog meat has been widely criticized by many animal rights groups. Those bastards, they don't care about humans and what they have to eat. And it looks like South Korea has now taken that into account. So the policy chief of the ruling people power party U-E-D-O-Y-U-I-E-I-S-D-O-N-G said it's time to put an end to social conflicts and controversies around dog meat consumption

through the enactment of a special act to end it. Now, could we just end it today and be done with it? No. The law could potentially be past this winter taking into account a three-year grace period to phase out the dog consumption industry which will then see the ban

in stated nationwide by 2027. So for right now in South Korea, you can still eat dog and you can still eat dog for the next few years, maybe forever because the law may not be enacted, but we know that policy chief of the ruling people power party,

YUI-D-Dong, wants it to end and be done with it by 2020. Then we have dogs here in the U.S. who have now come up with a mysterious, potentially fatal illness in several states, and it's widening. I know. Veterinary laboratories across multiple states are investigating this unusual respiratory illness affecting dogs, urging pen odors to take essential precautions to safeguard their pets' health. Oregon, Colorado, and New Hampshire. So, I mean, it's across the country, have reported cases of the illness characterized by persistent respiratory disease and pneumonia resistant to antibiotics.

Symptoms include coughing, sneezing, nasal, or eye discharge, and lethargy. Some instances progress rapidly, causing severe illness within 24 to 36 hours. The Oregon Department of Agriculture has recorded over 200 cases since mid-August and are urgent. urging pet owners to consult veterinarians if their dog exhibit symptoms. Yeah. I mean, if your dog, some kind of coughing, sneezing, nasal or eye discharge and lethargia, maybe you ought to get a checked out quickly. Stop letting the dog kiss you on the face if that occurs.

So we're collaborating with state researchers and, of course, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Veterinary Services Laboratory. which I love them. I'm a huge fan of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Veterinary Services Laboratory, and they want to identify the cause. So some dogs have succumbed to the illness. Oh, no. Oh, no.

However, due to the absence of a clear definition or test for the disease, the exact number of fatalities is challenging. So be careful. Man, you don't want your dog catching none of that. Maybe you keep them away from dog parks and all that kind of stuff. Plus, when you take them to the vet, they're around other dogs, that could be sick wear a mask put a mask out of them make them be safe so sad then we have dogs in Houston area are ripping up vehicles at this auto dealership causing

hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage now I will say if I miss G Motors dealership I'm saying that the dogs are tearing up bumpers and fenders and they're causing, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage. Now, according to this, the pooches have ravaged five cars with damages estimated to cost $100 to $350,000. Uh-huh. Thanks, sales manager. Oh, yeah.

That's $100,000 worth of damage there. Okay, that's fine. You just never think of a dog as this kind of power to tear up a car like that. Another employee said he believed only a wolf could cause such extensive damage before seeing the video. There's video of the dogs. attacking the cars. They're working together to pull off parts of the car with their teeth. The pair of dogs have ripped up cars on three separate occasions at the dealership this past month.

They were caught on camera walking on cars and ripping off bumpers with their teeth. Now, I will say, you know, nobody wants to leave their cars anymore. They want to make, you know, make sure they go straight into the office. They're so scared. Okay. So they filed a report with the Houston Police Department. department. And they were told the police are like, hey, that's a civil matter. We can't help you. Sorry about that. So let us know if somebody gets hurt. If it attacks a human, you know, you'll call us back. Okay. Well, yeah, okay. So apparently the police said, hey, you ought to hire a private investigator track down the dog's owner. We don't know who the dogs are, so we still need to

track down their owner. Okay. Employees believe that the dogs are getting into the fence to a dealership through a small gap. Uh, thank you. You think? Now the dealership is moving to a new location next month, hopefully far from the destructive dogs. You don't know that. And by the way, here's Jeff Fisher's thought. As always, humans first.

And perhaps you hire, you pay your employees out and a little extra to hang out for a night at the old car dealership. And I give them some night vision glasses. And then when the dogs go through their little small gap in the fence, you put them down. and you just end it and then we don't have to worry about it anymore do we? No. Oh look the dogs just came through the small gap in the fence

one dog down second dog down then we bury them and we are done humans first you don't need to say anything to anybody you just take care of it about again I know that's

just me all right let's go to the break room I need something cold to drink desperately.

billion dollars from the Mega Millions Jackpot earlier this year has now filed a lawsuit against the mother of his child accusing her of disclosing her of disclosing his lottery win to his family members. And so this guy, I mean, he didn't want anyone to know that he won the lotto. Not even, any of his

family, nothing. I mean, what, it's kind of a dick move, really. I mean, come on now. So he claimed that he's suffered emotional distress and harassment from his family members, and the lawsuit seeks damages for the breach of contact and invasion of privacy. Now, before you say to yourself, okay, okay, you know, she can tell anybody who wants? Well, she can't. She filed an NDA, a non-disclosure agreement on February 8th, agreeing to keep the winner's jackpot a secret until their daughter turned 18 on June 1, 2032. In exchange, the winner promised to provide her with support and ongoing security resources.

Now, I don't know what those security resources and ongoing support would be. I don't know how much that was, but she agreed to it, okay? And it was, of course, according to him, it was to avoid any harm caused by revealing the winner's identity, location, assets, and their daughter's identity to the media or public. So to him, he was taking care of the kid. You don't want anybody else to know that he had won this money. Now, one of the things in the story It talks about this.

Now, when you talk about winning the mega millions, now he won the Mega Millions Jackpot, $1.35 billion, as I said, all right? He decided to take the cash payment, the one-time lump sum payment,

$723.56 million. After taxes, he won just over $404 million. That is kind of, that's kind of maddening in and of itself. I'm still taking the $404 million. It's $404 million. You didn't have the day before.

I get it. But come on now. You won over a billion. You decided to take $723 million, and you end up with only $400 million. Seems a little much. But, hey, why know? Now, according to the documents,

if someone breaches the NDA, the jackpot winner has the right to pursue legal and fair compensation. Okay. So the woman didn't inform the jackpot winner about breaching the NDA, despite being contractually obligated. So I guess if she breached it, she had to tell him.

Okay, she did. So she revealed the wind to the man's father and stepmother over the phone, and the winner's sister later found out through hearsay. Yeah, from the father and the mother. From the father and the stepmother. Talking about that bastard won a $400 million didn't tell us. I'm struggling to put food on the table. And Joey won $400 million.

$104 million. So apparently, John Doe has now suffered irreparable injury. Oh, has he? Has he? So the winner's lawsuit asked her to disclose

every person she told and pay a fine of $100,000 for each NDA violation plus attorney's fees and court costs. Well, she can't do that. She doesn't have it. Of course she doesn't.

Now there's a Michigan Powerball winner is working to advocate for lottery winners to have the option to remain anonymous. apparently this lady, Christy Davis, her name was used without her consent upon winning a $70 million powerball jackpot, so she's fighting to ensure it doesn't happen to others. Okay, well, you can be anonymous if you do it through a trust, I believe.

Maybe every state doesn't have that, but you can, a trust can win it, which you could, you know, obviously set up prior to going to collect your winnings. If you win, man, if you win, I would sign that ticket and put it in a safe and then take care of everything. And, you know, this lady claiming that winning the lottery, you may have unintended consequences, such as leaving a long time home, changing a name or phone number, altering a way of life. Yeah, that's what $400 million does. Okay, well, she won 70. Oh, no. She had to move and she had to change her phone number. Oh, no.

Oh, no, no. How can that be? So, of course, you're going to alter your lifestyle. That's what happens. Ah, man, I tell you, sometimes this world makes zero sense to me. I won $70 million. I am so upset. I had to change my phone number.

Holy cow. And the guy who doesn't want his family to know. I mean, I get that. You know, I don't want your family. everybody coming around asking for money everybody coming around bugging you i got it uh use the daughter as a security issue you don't want people to know that she's you know daddy has a lot of money so you have that issue on the other hand uh you know you set up a trust fund you give everybody a cut and then you're done with it you tell them here's a deal you be an adult and you tell them hey

here you go i won four hundred and four million dollars we're keeping it anonymous because i don't want all kinds of people coming around asking me for money I've set up a trust fund and I've also set up a trust fund for you and you and you with you and you with you and here's your money Don't come asking me for more If you run out of it you run out of it here you go my daughter is you know That's a separate deal everybody knows their own separate deals you set up the trust fund for the daughter and she you know Obviously takes a cut until she's you know 30 or whatever the deal I went mine would be until they were 30 You get a cut and then after 30 you can have it and do whatever you want with it

But, you know, that's the deal. And you just do that instead of, you know, you can just say no. And then you have to change your phone number. And, I mean, I know the hassle of changing the phone number. I've had the same phone number for a long time. And it would be hard for me to let it go. But I'm pretty sure the $70 or the $400 million would make me feel a little bit better about having another phone. number.

Who died today? Who died today? Marty Croft, the TV producer, Marty Croft, who along with his brother, Sid, helped develop a run of classic. Now they say cult classic. I'm calling them classic TV shows and specials in the 70s and beyond has died. through their side and Marty Croft Pictures label, the duo worked on HR puffing stuff,

Land of the Lost, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, and a number of other projects with an instantly recognizable blend of surrealism, camp, and occasionally darker themes. Now, Sid died of, no, not that. At least it doesn't say that. It says in the story,

what he actually died of, kidney failure. He was 86, rest and peace. Marty Croft. No, not Sid. Sid didn't die. As far as I know, Sid's still alive. Yeah, he's 96 or 94. So Sid's still hanging in there. Sorry about that, Sid. I know he's your brother. Gosh darn it. I'm not making fun of it. Rest in peace, Marty Croft, who is dead at 86 of kidney failure. Now, what was the kidney failure brought on by? I don't know. It doesn't, it doesn't say. So you can keep looking at me like that all you want. But in the story,

it talks, and HR Puffin' Stuff, one of my favorite go-to, you know, terrible shows. HR Puffin' Stuff. Now, the reason I love H.R. Puffin' Stuff for a couple of reasons. One is, there used to be a news director that I worked with in Tampa, Florida, that reminded me of H.R. Puffin' Stuff. And so I used to call him H.R. not necessarily to his face. It was just my nickname for him. And then, you know, of course the nickname gets around

and he finds out he wasn't too happy about the nickname because he knew what HR puff and stuff looked like and now he knows that he looked like HR puffin stuff. It's not my fault that he looked like that. That's what he looked like to me. But in the story, they have the opening theme to H.R. Puff and stuff. Now, H.R. Puff and Stuff had 17 episodes, one season, 17 episodes.

Pretty incredible that it's remembered as well as it is for one season, 17 episodes, 25 minutes an episode. It was originally broadcast in 1969, and then it was re-ups for reruns, and then it was on TV land, and then it was part of Me TV from 2014 to 2016. In 2004 and 2007, H.R. Puff and Stuff was ranked 22nd and 27th, respectively, on TV Guide's top cult shows ever. One of the things I didn't know is McDonald's later plagiarized the series concept for its long-running advertising campaign, McDonald's Land, and the company successfully sued by the Croft Brothers for the copyright infringement. So McDonald's just paid, you know, a boatload of money to use it. They created H.R. Puff and Stuff, the character, for the Hemis Fair in 1968 World's Fair,

where they produced a show called Kaleidoscope for the Coca-Cola Pavilion. The character's name was Luther, and he became a mascot of the fair. Wow. So, anyway, I was listening to the opening theme of H.R. Puff and Stuff. It tells you the whole story. There's no reason to watch any of the shows. But pretty incredible, H.R. Puff and Stuff. There's a little kid running through the fields with his Freddy the flute

There's the magic boat Living Island Don't do it Don't do it No Witchie poo Oh no Jimmy's in trouble

There's witchy poo Oh there's witchy poo Oh there's HR puff and stuff He's going to save him. Oh, no. He fell in the water and swimming to the shore of the island. Oh, no, no. The puffin stuff.

There's your friend, man. Thanks, good, bro. H.R. Puffin stuff. You're doing it, because you can't do it enough. I'm telling you, classic stuff. Classic stuff. Now, you know, H.R. Puffin stuff, just so stupid. unbelievably stupid.

Now, the H.R. Puffin stuff lived in a cave, and so Witchie Poo is, Evil magic did not work in HR Puffin' Stuff's cave. So it was awesome. Now, everything was alive on the island, including houses, boats, clocks, candles. And so any part of the living island could become a character, usually voiced in a parody of, you know, like May West or Edward G. Robinson or John Wayne, you know, the parody voices. And so, anyway, all that to say, Marty Croft, rest in peace at the age of 86. Okay, we also have news that taking selfies now is considered dangerous. Okay, a review by the University of New South Wales has concluded that taking selfies could actually pose a public health problem.

I know, I know. Referencing data from multiple peer-reviewed studies in both the U.S. and Australia since 2011, the review was published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research in September of this year. and I must apologize because I've missed my September issue of the Journal of Medical Internet Research, but thankfully this particular story didn't. A selfie-related deaths at aquatic location stood out as the most concerning incidents, including phototaking at scenic and photogenic areas. The general use of smartphones and apps is dangerous,

and the research pointed out four of the five peer-reviewed studies identified falls from height, due to selfie taking as the most common cause of injury and death. Ha! So, the lead study author, Sam Cornell, a research officer at the Sydney School of Public Health, University of Sydney, said he was specifically interested in environmental and aquatic-related selfie injuries and death. I wasn't looking at people getting injured from taking selfies on mad-made structures or train lines, for instance. Oh, he was just

concerned about deaths. Okay. So the median age reported where victims was 22 years old, mostly female tourists. I was surprised that when I drilled down in this way young females were implicated the most. The selfie danger risks differ

by country. Some, not me, some would call this thinning the herd. Maybe we don't need to worry about it at all. Maybe if you say, are on a cliff and you keep moving backwards to get the best picture. You know, maybe it's thinning of the herd.

No, I'm saying some people would say that. Not me. I would say that, but I want everyone to live. That's simple. Man, just don't. So, again, don't look at me like that. I want everyone to live. So the study, never mind, those young 21, 22-year-old girls

that are just falling off cliffs, get a selfie. No. There should be a sticker on the phone or something, right? Some warning. Yes. There needs to be some kind of sign put up or a fence to stop people from falling off a cliff that they should be smart enough to know they could fall off of, but to put a sign up or a sticker or something. So the study concluded that the public health problem should require a public health risk

communication response. Of course, yes, we have to put stickers up and we have to do something. okay, to date, little attentions have been paid to averting selfie-related incidents through behavior change methodologies, yeah, because they figure, hey, if you're that stupid, go ahead. No, that's what, I mean, we can't do. We can't have that. We can't have that. We need what they like to call risk reduction methods. No selfie zones.

Physical barriers, sideage. Of course they need this. This is absolutely why they didn't call it ask. I would have told them right up front. They didn't need to go over all these studies. I could have told them right off the bat. What you need is no selfie zones, physical barriers, and maybe some signage, dangerous zones.

And how about that? So we let people know, hey, selfie at your own risk or put a fence up. So this is a no selfie zone. Holy cow. Just, hey, if you're out there taking selfies, just remember that if you're close to a clip, and if you fall off or you're at the side of a building you're hanging off a building or you're

whatever you're doing that could cause death the reason that you don't do it is unless you're you know I don't know someone who thinks they can't die you just don't do it okay what happens when someone dies from a you know a death by selfie and And they did it in a no selfie zone. Who's responsible then? Huh? Just wondering. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

There were some great NFL games as well, but this past weekend was a tremendous college football weekend. There were some great games that are the Missouri Tigers. My Missouri Tigers won again in Arkansas. The Battleline trophy comes back to Missouri, and they are ranked 9th in the AP. they'll probably stay ninth or eighth in the college football playoffs, ranking polls at the end.

So that gets them a J6 bowl. I'm not calling it a January 1st bowl anymore. They're all J6 bulls. But this coming weekend, we have huge championship games. Friday night, we have Oregon and Washington playing for the Pact 12 championship. The last, the final, well, at least as we know it, the Pact 12 championship game. And then Saturday, you've got a... Oklahoma State and Texas.

Georgia versus Alabama. Louisville versus Iowa, Florida State, and Iowa and Michigan. There's a few other games in there as well, Sun Belt and Swack and the Mac Championship and the Conference USA and the ACC. Well, Florida State is the ACC championship. The other ones in the Mountain West, and nobody really cares about. Well, I watch some of it, probably. I like to go back and forth because we're coming down to the end of college football,

and I love college football, but there's some huge games this weekend and of prominence for the playoffs, the playoff picture, and where teams are going to end up as far as heading for the national championship. That Alabama game on Saturday night was unbelievable. They were down.

It's fourth and goal on the 31-yard line, and the Millero Miracle Pass in the court of the end zone scores, a touchdown to win the game. Just amazing against Auburn, the Iron Bowl. There were some other games on Saturday, that Michigan, Ohio State

game. There were some other games this weekend. There were Friday. Friday games seemed like blowouts and Saturday games were up close and we're taking it to overtime or we're keeping it close and winning at the end of the game. Just incredible. That's why college football is so much fun. Anyway,

looking forward to this weekend in college football. All right, I'll leave you with the United States is among countries arguing against new laws to regulate AI-controlled killer drones. The U.S., China, and others are developing the so-called killer robots, and critics are concerned about the development of machines that can decide to take human lives. What? Yeah, the deployment of AI-controlled drones that can make autonomous decisions about whether to kill human targets is moving a little, little bit closer to reality. I mean, that's just silly to think that it wasn't going to happen. So, you know, yes, these weapons can select targets using AI. They're being developed by countries,

including the U.S., China and Israel. Yeah, they're all working on it. And the use of these killer robots are going to be a pretty big deal. We're handing life and death battlefield decisions to machines with no human input. Now, I mean, I guess you have input on whether to turn them on or off. we're able to, you know, stop them from doing... So several governments are lobbying the UN, and that's who I want to charge is the UN, for a binding resolution restricting the use of AI killer drones. But the U.S. is among the top group of nations

that includes Russia, Australia, and Israel, who are resisting any such move. Oh, wait, favoring a non-binding resolution instead. So they don't want the U.N. to restrict the use of AI killer drones, but they want a non-binding resolution, which means dilly squat. Actually, you know, I don't want the UN involved anyway, so that's fine. Make your

little non-binding resolution, because it doesn't mean didly squat anyway. They're already working on. When they say we're working on it, that means it's already done. Okay? We already have the robots out there ready to kill humans in war.

We just aren't using them that we know of. So, holy cow be on the That's great. That's great. I mean, we know that as long as you have, what is it, the three laws, right? From the

documentary I-Robot, the three laws were a robot may not injure a human being or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm. Law number two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human

beings except where such orders would conflict with the first law. And number three would be a robot must protect his own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or the second law. And everything worked out fine in I-Robot in the documentary of I-Robot, right? Right. And that's exactly the way it's going to work out in real life. So don't worry about it. Everything's going to be just fine.
