Those of you that had trouble logging into Fidelity's trading platforms on Monday, don't worry, it's being taken care of. You probably encountered a series of glitches that stopped you from logging into your account. And that was just as the market started open for trading on Monday. And those glitches occurred. Yeah. It was just a glitch. We, they were working on it.

And then I just want you to know that, uh, look, you lost the ability to log in. Okay, that was the glitch. But it wasn't an outage and we weren't hacked. So just know that, uh, you couldn't get into your account and it was just a glitch. And, man, we are sorry. But it wasn't an outage and we weren't hacked. So we're on it though. We are on it.

Those of you that were struggling with the glitch may have used some language that probably needs to be outtage. Ha! Because I'm sure you thought the same thing. It was just a glitch. Welcome! Welcome to chewing the fat. Those of you in Australia that were expecting to get your new order of cocaine, it's not coming in. They just busted a boat off the coast of Australia with 1,110 blocks of cocaine, weighing 1.039 tons aboard the vessel.

They estimate the potential street value of nearly $400 million. Now, originally I saw 600 million, so I must have dropped that down. They were on these guys because back in April, they purchased a boat. with cash and the authorities were like, huh, why would these people pay cash for this boat? That's why, because they wanted to own it and they wanted to do what they were going to do with it and not have any questions about it. Huh, I should have made payments on that bad boy. No question about it.

So when the vessel came back to shore on Friday, they launched the interception and they busted it. Wow. I mean, $400 million worth of cocaine. Two men, age 24 and 26, were a row of. arrested on board the vessel. Three men, age 28, 29, and 35 were arrested. They were waiting on the shore.

Where's my boat? Yeah, it's not coming. It belongs to us now, and you're under arrest, by the way. So, according to the authorities, Australia's vast coastline is attractive to organize crime groups who attempt to exploit this by trying to import drugs using boats.

Uh, yeah, duh. and good luck. Good luck to all the people in Australia who were waiting on that shipment of cocaine because it's not showing up, okay? Now, is this a dummy ship? Are you willing to waste 1,110 blocks of cocaine

to be arrested and seized while two other boats came into shore with a couple of thousand blocks of cocaine? Maybe. Maybe. I mean, that's not impossible to think about, but it's, you know, bad news for these guys. Speaking of crimes, I see a story out of Utah where this Utah oil magnet, James and Kelly Jensen, were arrested by U.S. Marshals, who used battering rams to bust through the doors of the couple's $9.2 million mansion outside of Salt Lake City. I mean, it's a beautiful place. It's in Sandy, Utah. It looks like it's fashioned after the White House.

I mean, it's only 27,000 square feet, so it's not quite as large as the White House, but it's kind of fashioned after that. It's got the big entrance drive with the pillars. It's really, it's beautiful. And it was only, I don't know, $9 million. I mean, the dump for $9 million. Anyway, they were indicted on charges they conspired to buy and smuggle

more than 2,800 shipments of stolen oil from Mexico into the U.S. as part of an alleged scheme that began three years ago. So they say with the help of the cartels, they were smuggling this oil from Mexico into the U.S. Huh. Interesting. So they made payments for the crude oil to businesses in Mexico that operate only through the permission of the Mexican criminal organizations. Okay. The feds alleged the family used their ill-gotten gains to buy the new home and cars and it moves to seize them. Yeah, I bet they have. So we'll see. We don't know if the sons were in on it or not. They were also indicted. Okay. I don't know if they were arrested at the house. And the Jensen say that they were willing to come out. There was no need for the authorities to bust down their door. But they did anyway. We'll see if that actually is true. And I don't think it matters.

now anyway. The same day that they were arrested, they also raided these terminals, these auroro terminals, which is where the oil comes in. And of course, the employees were like, hey, I just unload the trucks. I got nothing to do with it, okay?

I unload the trucks, load the barges, I don't know where the oil comes from. I got nothing to do with it. Don't worry about arresting me because I'm just working here, okay? Well, you're not working the of the day, I'll tell you that. Now, those terminals are in Texas,

but this obviously happened in Salt Lake City, which is their home. And they are back home now. They were, you know, the attorneys said they're active in the church and they're active in their community, and they're a stalwart to Utah family. You know, the in-laws have served in public service for decades, and they're not going to throw that out the window.

Okay. They also disputed, yeah, like I said, they claimed that, you were going to come out. There's no reason for it. I knocked down my door. Anyway, the thing is that this family has previously been accused of buying stolen oil in 2011. Now, in that case, Jensen was sued by the Mexican government-owned oil company for allegedly traveling to Mexico to buy fuel from cartels. Jensen denied all wrongdoing in that case, and it was dropped two years later.

so what happened? Did the cartels make the government drop their case? All right. Sure. And I mean, it's got $300 million and he's got this beautiful home. I mean smuggling oil from Mexico into the U.S. with the cartels. That's bringing in some serious money.

And it's also dealing with people you don't necessarily want to deal with. But if you want to live in a. big house. Maybe you do. Maybe you do. Now, I'm sure they'll tell you that they were doing everyday oil business and there's nothing illegal about it. So we'll see how this case goes. And we still have big trials going on. I mean, the Diddy trial is in full form. They finally sat a jury yesterday morning. If you're listening live, today is the 13th of May 2025. So yesterday on the 12th, they sat the jury and they started the trial. They got opening statements.

I believe they even had a witness, take the stand. So they cut, because that's right, because they showed the video of him beating up his girlfriend and dragging her down the hotel hallway. That's the one where it did.

He said that he apologized in his video and he said, yeah, I was all. Yeah, you know. It's all. So that trial's ongoing. And man,

there's going to be, I mean, there's going to be all kinds of fire with that. He most likely, and, you know, a lot of people would agree good, going to go to prison for a long, long time.

Then we have the Harvey Weinstein trial still ongoing. Harvey is still in the hospital, not well. I don't know that he's going to make it through the whole trial. I don't know, but they had people testify on the stand in the Weinstein case. The one girl testified Khaja Soklo. I guess it's Sokola. She testified horrifying sexual assaults. when she was 16 and 19.

Although as I'm reading this, I don't think the 16-year-old assault could be used in the trial because it was out of the statute of limitations. Okay, so she claimed that the first assault when she was 16 was in 2002. And then the second assault was in 2006. So she was assaulted in 2002,

but then she again goes back to the Harvey Weinstein Hotel Room in 2006, come on now. Okay. What are we doing? I don't know. Just that whole thing bugs me. Yes, okay, so he's a dirtbag.

I know he's a dirtbag. Don't look at me like that. And I know if is what she's saying happened when she was 16, complete dirtbag. I got it. But she just wanted to be an actress and she was, she wanted to, you know, she thought doing this.

And then she said that she described his eyes as black and scary. I didn't tell him. he would help her become a Hollywood star. Huh. I felt stupid and ashamed and it's like my fault for putting myself in this position. Yeah, it kind of is. The second time.

I got a real problem with the second time. If true, if true, that you were assaulted in 2002 at 16 years old, then four years later, at 20, you go back. I, okay. Okay. All right, sure. Anyway, we got that trial still going. And then Kim Kardashian, she shows up at trial

today in France over her robbery case. We talked about that I think last week or maybe the week before. Just an incredible story of her robbery in Paris and what happened to her during that time. So, I mean, they were stole like $10 million worth of cash and jewelry

including the $4 million. yay engagement ring and we talked about the guy who wrote the book and he apologized and he was the he was the guy that carried the goods away from the apartment uh he was not part of uh tying her up and holding her hostage while they while they robbed the place just an incredible story anyway she's going to testify in paris today Oh, what?

They've got all these plants and flowers and stuff sitting out in front of the store. And I'm walking by them going, well, I guess they're okay, but I don't know if they would, you know, work where I guess the store is here in Texas. So I guess it'll grow in Texas, but I don't know it will. And I don't know how to take care of them. That's where fast growing trees comes in handy.

Did someone cut their finger or something on the zip lock? Come on. According to the class action lawsuit, they allege that the two of the brand's primary selling points, that the bags are suitable or safe to use in the freezer and microbrewer,

wave were misleading and placed people at elevated risk of exposure to microplastics. Yeah, you store stuff in a plastic bag. I can't believe I'm going to get exposed to microplastics. Come on. So according to about lawsuits, complaint Linda Cheslow filed suit against Ziplocke Johnson & Johnson Inc. I'm sorry, maker South Carolina Johnson and Johnson. Inc. in California

on April 25th as a class action lawsuit. The filing also names others similarly situated. You know, people who use Ziploc bags. Yeah, that's me. I can be in on this. Ziplock bags, so could you. Who doesn't use a Ziploc bag? Ziplock bags already have

at least one environment-related strike against them as they are typically a single-used plastic item. Yeah, we use them and then we throw them away. You can't do that. It's terrible. It's bad for the... Okay. Is it, though?

Because, uh, don't they just burn up at the, the trash place? Okay. Uh, not if they get thrown into a landfill. Okay. Uh, on top of that, the lawsuit maintains that the brand's parent company engaged in a material omission when labeling zip lock bags, microwave safe and suitable for freezer use. Okay, well, I use ziplocks all the time to put stuff in the freezer. Um, it works. I was trying to remember.

I don't know. I mean, I guess I've thought stuff out in the microwave with the Ziploc bag still on, but I don't normally do that for some reason. And it wasn't because I was scared of microplastics, I'll tell you that. But I just feel like it didn't need to be in the bag. But anyway, the suit contents that in reality, Ziploc bags and containers are made with polyethylene and polypropylene. Two manufacturing materials.

Okay. Yeah, that's what they use. All right. the filing indicates that scientific and medical evidence shows release microplastics when microwaved and frozen. Holy cow.

And we're finding microplastics in everything these days. And so we got to be careful. They got to be careful out there. So even in the freezer, they're claiming that even in the freezer, so if I put something in a Ziploc bag and put it in the freezer,

the microplastics are then still getting into my food? I'd like to know how that's possible. As such Ziplog bags are alleged to be fundamentally unfit for microwave and freezer use, despite their labeling, which has been leading consumers to believe that they are fit to be microwaved and frozen, without risk of microplastics leaching into their food. You bastards, consumers may have unwittingly exposed themselves and their families to undisclosed microplastics during routine kitchen practices.

Okay, so how much do they want for this thing? How much are they going to sue them for? It doesn't say it just talks about she's seeking certification of class action status for a lawsuit, including a subclass for California residents, as well as a declaratory relief injunction, damages, restitution, disgorgement, and punitive penalties from SC Johnson. Yeah, we're looking for a payout of a lot of money because those damn zip-lock bags, those freezer bags, those pint size, medium-sized, large gallon size,

because quart-sized zip locks bastards the sliders and what about the Ziploc containers yeah that's listed as well don't be putting stuff in there so if I put stuff in the zip lock container and I put it in the refrigerator or you know I store it and then I pull it out and I microwave it in that container I'm getting microplastics okay yeah I'm part I need to be a part of this class action I will say sometimes, now this is just me. Talk personally, my personal, you know, my person, my person, just me. Jeff Fisher, host of chewing the fat. I will say there are plenty of times when I would rather microwave.

I should be using the microwave. I should just use the stove to reheat whatever I want to eat. But I, you know, I just don't think about it. I might throw the container in there and just let her, you know, heat up and cook away. But we do see sometimes staining in some of the plastic containers, right, if it gets microwaved. So I like to take the product out of the microwave container and put it into a microwave-safe bowl. But they will claim that the container that you already have it in is microwave-safe. Is it?

I don't know. We'll see. We'll see what happens. We'll see if Ziploc bends the knee and settles this thing. It'll be interesting to watch because I'm a fan of Ziploc. I've been for many, many years. And yes, I've purchased those off-brand plastic bags, but they're not the same as Ziploc, are they?

The off-brands are if you need to put other stuff in it rather than food. Am I right? You know what I'm talking about. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink desperately. Be sure. sure to follow me on my social media at Jeffy JFR on

X. Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram and Facebook. Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher on YouTube. You can order a cameo from me at any time. That is not free, but it's worth every doggone penny. At Jeffey JFR on the cameo app. And you can

email the show anytime, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I do see them all. I don't necessarily respond to them all, but I do see them all. I learned yesterday that I don't necessarily read every word in the email as well. I got an email from a man, Todd, who said, the email said, I don't know, and he's pissed for me, and I really appreciate it. Thank you, Todd. I don't know if it is Greg, and he's talking

about the Greg Gutfield show on Fox, or possibly his writers. First, it's what's the lie rip-off show, and then last Thursday, Greg joke that he was. was upset that he had been chosen Pope, and the show's writer Joe Mackie made a Disney Abu Dhabi that was remarkably close to the ones you made on CTF and on Pat Show. Maybe time to get the big guns in the Blaze legal department involved. I think you may be right, Todd. I don't know that the Blaze cares that not that much about me. Either that or they bring you in as a writer and start paying you some bucks.

That I'm kind of, you know, Greg, you can reach out to me on that. and Todd said he was so pissed. And thank you. I appreciate you being pissed for me. You know, I want to thank the writers or Greg for listening to chewing the fat. You're welcome. I would like a cut.

I'd be fine. And I also, then I replied to Todd because I didn't read the entire email. All I kind of scanned it. You know, Quick Red gave the QuickReed a Greg Gutfeld, pissed, CTF, writers. And I was pissed.

And I said, thank you, Todd. I appreciate it. And I saw Pope and I saw Abu Dhabi. But I didn't see What's the Lie Rip Off. So I replied like, yeah, I think he's hosting a game show similar to WhatTL coming up, WTL coming up soon as well. Very sad I am. Thanks for being pissed from me.

That was my response. Well, had I read the entire email, I would have actually read, first it was What's the Lie Rip off. Now, let's see an only secret. The only way around, you know, doing this. this and making it into a joke is own it and do you know tell you about it which is what i'm doing or i could have realized that i didn't read the entire email and i sent i think he's hosting a game show similar to w tl coming up soon as well very sad i am thanks for being pissed off i could have

replied to that email again and just sent the same thing again and so then you just lean into you being an idiot which you know i'd rather not do because i'd rather not do because I'm already an idiot. So I did. Thank you, Todd. I appreciate your email and chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Well, I do see them all.

I may not read them all. Sometimes I read them and I don't even read them. So, you know, I'm sorry. But you can email the show anytime chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Then we have Talking Walking Dead that I do every week with Jason Butchell and my son Maximus. We're talking about Dead City. Season 2 is up and running. That show should have dropped.

tonight, May 13th, Tuesday. We've had some issues with the Fennartner on Monday, so we're doing it on Tuesday. We want to try to get those out on Monday, but, you know, if we continue to have phenortner issues, then you're going to get it on Tuesday. That's just the way it works. And then, of course, don't forget to tune in Saturday mornings

when I do Saturday morning live with Brad Staggs on my ex account at Jeffrey JFR. Brad has it running on some other platforms as well, but really, I mean, watch it on my ex at Jeffrey JFR and enjoy the show Saturday morning live with myself and Brad Staggs. All right. I was watching a new show last night. Okay, so my wife says, hey, have you ever heard of this show?

And it's called The Hunting Party. I have not. It's on Peacock slash NBC. And I'm like, no, I don't remember we're seeing a promo for the hunting party at all. And so all the episodes are up because it started back in January. of this year. I think all the episodes are up anyway. I watched episode one last night.

And I, so I look it up, a hunting party. They just renewed it for a second season. And I was like, okay. And it stars this Melissa Roxborough. And I know they, NBC, what do they do? I mean, NBC is in a hard place right now. They've been canceling stuff left and right. So it was surprising to me that NBC,

re-uped hunting party and they re-uped Brilliant Minds which I that was a tough one I did not make it through very long on Brilliant Minds I watched the first

I don't think maybe one or two episodes and did not make it through but they're going to re-up it anyway but the hunting party she's an FBI agent and they hunt serial killers from this jail that was a place

where they were keeping serial killers to study them and train them, but everybody thought they were already dead, but they weren't. And, you know, the question is, ever wonder why? So it's kind of like a minority report

because he said, the guy from the CIA or the government, that's above the FBI, the government guy, said that ever wonder why we have, you know, less serial killers these days? Because we catch him before they become serial killers. Oh, okay.

Anyway, I enjoyed it. It's a network show, so it loses a little bit that you may get on a Netflix or an Amazon Prime show, but it's still pretty good. It's still pretty good. And, you know, hey, look, it's about serial killers. I'm in. And I was trying to think why I had never heard about it,

because it's an NBC show. But maybe they promoted it on the FBI shows, and those shows now have been canceled. But I recorded them, but I stopped watching them because I got tired of them. And that's probably why they're getting, uh, while they're getting, uh, why they're getting, uh,

and it's probably why they promoted the shows that nobody knows about because nobody was watching the shows that they're promoting other shows on. Okay, you got me. Uh, congratulations also, Mr. Beast. Uh, I saw where his, uh, Amazon, uh, just renewed him for Beast games for another two more seasons. So good for him.

He just keeps rolling on, man. Wow. Good for Beast. And then I read a, oh, uh, the other thing we have to look forward to, uh, all the other shows. Oh, hacks. I got to talk about hacks. Yes, because I talked last week about mom and dad were fighting,

and I don't like it. Well, mom and dad finally made up in hacks. I was so happy at the end of this latest episode that mom and dad have made up. So let's move on with the fighting, and now we can turn into, we can make hacks even better. Okay? You'll know what I'm talking about if you watch the show. Then we have goodness to look forward to with the. a Madonna biopic apparently is in development on Netflix.

Can't wait for that. Oh, and I gotta go back to hacks because it was, she gets an award as a fake award and the person that introduces her is Rosie O'Donnell. Now, I don't know if this was filmed before Rosie left the country or if she snuck back into the country she hates now so much to make some money and then go back to Ireland. I'm not sure how that worked for Rosie. But it was Rosie O'Donnell who talked,

our girl in Hacks Deborah Vance, played by Gene Smart, that Rosie says, what happened? You got better. And that usually doesn't happen. Well, she got better

because of Ava, the writer, hello, mom and dad. And so that's played by Hannah and Beiner. So now she realizes that the reason she got the TV show and people noticed her

more than what they did was because she got better because of Ava. So now they've made up. And that was surprising that it took Rosie O'Donnell to make them, you know, play nice again. For a while. For now. We'll see.

Well, let's begin with T.M.A. McCarthy, T.M.A. McCarthy, dead at the age of 26. I know. Very sad.

Now, this is the young woman who refused to eat any food for the first decade of her life. Yes, T.M.A. McCarthy. She had to have nutrients pumped directly into her digestive system while she slept during childhood. She was the subject of a TV documentary as her mother searched for answers. She even traveled abroad to find help for her daughter. And the mystery was never solved. She was premature. She had a rare congenital disorder called esophageal athesia,

which meant her esophagus and stomach did not connect. That's an issue. I don't know if you know that. I'm not a medical professional. I'm just telling you when you have a softness, esophageal esthesia. That's an issue. So she had an operation when she was three months old to move her stomach into her chest.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like fun. No wonder she didn't want to eat. So she finally started eating again at 10-ish. And so she ate for the last 15, 16 years, and now she's dead. The cause of death is given. I don't know if it had anything to do with, you know, the stomach moving from the chest. I don't know. But she certainly did not show any interest in food until she was about the age of 15.

Then she had a normal diet. Wow. And so rest in peace to Tia May McCarthy dead at the age of 26. Then we have James Foley, James Foley, a director of Glenn Gary Glenn Ross, House of Cards, 50 Shades. It has passed away at the age of 7. He helmed at close range after dark, lots of Madonna music videos, before succumbing to brain cancer. That is not good.

I just want you to know. I do not wish that on anyone. So Foley was one of those directors, apparently, that always had something useful to say. This is according to our other actors. Okay, all right. So rest and peace to James. Foley, dead at the age of 71.

Then we have Eric Slate. Eric Slate was found dead at the age of 52. And you're wondering, well, who the heck is Eric Slate? Well, let me tell you. Eric Slate is the brother of a guy who owns a petting zoo in South Carolina. And apparently, he was found inside the kangaroo enclosure. And they're blaming the kangaroo. Wait, what?

According to reports, he had multiple blunt indent. injuries, but he has posted videos of his brother, you know, messing with the kangaroo Jack multiple times. And the brother doesn't believe the kangaroo killed him. The brother believes that we need to wait until the autopsy on my brother because the kangaroo is, you know, quarantined, no problem. And, but he doesn't think that the kangaroo was the cause of his brother's death. He said that his brother was complaining of chest pains, you know, recently. Okay, we'll see. But if Eric is found to have been killed by the petting zoo kangaroo,

uh, goodbye to Jack. So for now, it's just rest in peace to Eric Slate dead at the age of 52. But when news gets back on the cause of his death, we could be having another who died today for Jack the kangaroo. I know. It's too early to say, to think about that now, right? Okay. And we're also getting reports that apparently a robot has committed suicide.

I know. I'm just telling you it's being reported. I don't know that it's true. According to the South Korea's city council was taken back, when their first administrative officer robot was found unresponsive, having apparently stopped working. I know. According to them, the robot had been tirelessly assisting residents.

with various administrative tasks for a year. Without a break, I might add. Local media is describing the incident as robot suicide, is it, raising questions about the intense demands placed on the machine. Okay, that could not be. We cannot be talking about robots committing suicide. They stopped working? Sure.

It was on too long. It worked continuously for a year without being reset and it stopped working? Sure. But the machine did not commit suicide. Okay? Okay. It's on permanent sleep mode. Got it.

But the machine did do anything that humans do. Okay? Sorry. I'm not buying that. Just now, we're not turning the robot into a human. Sorry, not doing it, but they probably will. Okay. I want to take a moment and talk to you about where we are right now because, let's be honest,

conservatives are winning. The movement is gaining ground. People are waking up and the narrative is cracking and the momentum is finally shifting. But the fight's not over, not even close.

So the other day, we talked about the possibility that Nick Saban was going to be doing, going to be part of the Presidential Commission on college athletics. And it wasn't confirmed. This was just leaked because people, you know, were throwing it out there, which I think is a fantastic idea. According to Senator Tumberville, it is confirmed that Nick Saban will be on this commission. Okay, good. He needs to be involved. That needs to happen like right now.

And I know it mostly affects, you know, I'm concerned about college football, the other college sports I don't care about, but they do and everyone else does. So, and I kind of care about them, but football is at the top of the list. So we'll see, you know, we got to reshape.

There's got to be all kinds of changes. I don't know who's going to be. Who else is going to be on this commission? That has not been announced all the names, but Coach Saban, former coach of the Alabama, Crimson Died, will be on this commission. And I believe he's going to co-chair the commission, which is good.

He ought to just chair it all, except that Trump will probably be the one that says he's the chairman. All right, fine. But Nick needs to be running at all. And actually, the NCAA should just put them in charge and say, you're in charge now, and then you can oversee, because the NCAA has lost their grip on the power that they used to have over all these conferences. And now someone needs to come in and take the bull by the horns. And that person is probably going to be Nick Saban.

So good, good. I'll be interested to see how that goes and how much power he actually has to make things happen. or is it just going to be recommendations about, well, we think this should happen. Oh, okay. Well, if it's just recommendations and nobody has to do anything. All right, fine, fine. You know, earlier I talked about NBC canceling a bunch of shows. I just read this morning where NBC announced the hiring of Michael Jordan.

Yeah, that Michael Jordan. He's going to be part of their basketball coverage. is going to be a special contributor to the NBA on NBC and Peacock. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. It's an 11-year deal that NBC has with the NBA. So I don't know how, what kind of deal they made with Michael,

but that is a huge get. I mean, Michael Jordan, he's the man. And he's going to have him commenting on your basketball coverage. That's huge. That's huge. I love how it talks about, well, we didn't disclose any details regarding Jordan's specific role. He's Michael. How about Michael does whatever Michael wants?

And you just roll the cameras. Okay? Let's make that happen. Let's get out of here. I'll leave you with the joke of the day. This, I'm giving you the joke of the day. I may have done it already because it's made me laugh and it's an old email from Irene. But it wasn't in my...

my used pile of jokes. So after I read it out loud, I feel like I've, I feel like I've told this joke before. Because it's so stupid. And yet it makes me laugh. So that's, you know, that's a good way to do the joke of the day. It's stupid, makes me laugh. I'm doing it.

What is green, fuzzy, has four legs, and would kill you if it fell out of a tree. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did this before. I don't know. What is green? fuzzy has four legs and would kill you if it fell out of a tree. A pool table. No, a pool table would fall out of a...

Now, you got it. I'll put it in the used pile. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at the Blaze.com slash podcasts. the night before the gathering and all through the house.
