Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Congratulations are in order. To the vegetable orchestra. Yes, the vegetable orchestra, which only plays instruments that are carved out of vegetables.

They have earned a Guinness World Record. Congratulations for the most concerts by a vegetable orchestra. A touring orchestra using instruments entirely of vegetables now has a Guinness World Record. So congratulations to them. It's an 11-piece orchestra formed in Vienna, Austria in 1998. They have performed a total of 344 concerts using specially made instruments such as a carrot recorder, a cucumber phone, a radish bass flute, percussive pieces of eggplant, and a leek violin. They believe that they can produce sound that cannot be easily produced by other

instruments. You can hear the difference. It sometimes sounds like animals, sometimes just like abstract sounds. Oh, you mean like nothing. The innovative group is constantly inventing new instruments as they have to be prepared for to improvise since the vegetables can break or dry out while they're on stage yeah you do not want that so after their concerts they even serve the audience soup made with the vegetables they had left over from preparing the instruments wow that's that's fantastic i i have not seen this orchestra perform yet i mean they've only performed 344 concerts and that still is a world record uh you could make music out of nearly everything,

each thing contains a very specific acoustic quality and represents an intricate universe of sound. Yes, yes, it does. So, the creative bunch tours around the world and only asks that you stop questioning them about

whether or not they are all vegan or vegetarians. That's the first question I'm asking. So anyway, congratulations to the vegetable orchestra now owning the Guinness World record for the most

concerts by a vegetable orchestra. Something to be very proud of. Welcome! You know, I've always wanted a Guinness World Record. Welcome to chewing the fat. You know, the other day, we talked about the Air India flight from Chicago to New Delhi that was forced to turn around

several hours into the flight because there were multiple bathrooms on the plane that were clothed. And they were like five hours into their journey, and I still am questioning why they had to go all the way back to Chicago. I don't understand that. But, you know, maybe it was the only airport that could handle the landing of their plane. I don't know. But we're getting more information about that flight, the Air India AI-126 flight from Chicago to New Delhi.

Apparently, it's now determined that eight of the 12 laboratories were unserviceable, causing discomfort to all on board. Uh, yeah. And it's also come to our attention that multiple bathrooms on the plane were clogged with rags, clothes, and plastic bags. Why would you do that? They believe that these polyethene bags, rags and clothes, among other items, had been flushed down the lavatories and stuck in the plumbing.

Yeah. I don't understand why that would happen. It really is strange. So here's a rule of thumb for you. When you're flying. Don't put that type of debris down the plumbing, down in the plumbing and the toilets. I don't understand. A spokesman noted that it wasn't the first time foreign objects were found on Air India

toilets, blankets, innerwear, and diapers, among other waste, have been flushed down toilets on other flights. Maybe we need a campaign in India to explain to people, that's not what you do. I really just don't understand.

So weird. Just weird. Anyway, you know, as long we're talking about airlines, I saw where Southwest is now ending their free checked bag policy. wow for the first time in their 54 year history i mean that was southwest that's what they're known for bags fly free that's what they advertise that's what they boost that's why you flew southwest

yes you had the cattle call of boarding uh you know you had there was no assigned seating you got what you got you get in there look for the seats you want that's open and that's where you sit and you you you're okay with that because you'd have to pay for the two suitcases you've guy being carried underneath the plane. Well, now, starting May 28th, you lowly people that just want to fly Southwest because to check your luggage, yeah, you're going to have to pay. That's the way it goes. So, again, starting May 28th.

Now, Southwest's rapid rewards A-list preferred members and the passengers who book their top-tier business select fares will still receive. two free check bags. Frequent flyer A list members, Southwest branded credit card holders, and other select customers will be allowed one checked bag. Everyone else, you and me,

we have to be charged. You're going to be charged for your first and your second checked bags. Oh, okay. Now, I guess that is up, that starts May 28th, So if you book your flights before May 28th, you come in under the wire and you get two free bags. That's what they say now.

They also have not listed how much they're going to charge for the luggage, which is a little concerning. Because they don't want people to know how much they're going to charge. So anyway, the days of bags fly free are coming to an end. Does that kill the Southwest brand? And it kind of does. I mean, I know that Delta Airlines and American Airlines, and they've all lowered their financial forecast for the first quarter, and they all cited bad weather, plane crashes,

and less consumer spending. Uh, yeah. So wouldn't it be a good time to continue with, hey, fly with us, bags fly free so that you would, you know, create more business for yourself? Nope, that's not what we're doing. So good luck.

God bless to Southwaters. West. Now we might as well stick with the airlines. I see where the Brazilian woman who went viral for refusing to give up her pre-selected window seat to a crying child has now filed a lawsuit against the airline and the passenger who filmed her. This Jennifer Castro 29, a bank employee, found herself at the center of this firestorm after the incident in December. So a video of the incident, which Jennifer says was actually filmed by a fellow passenger and not the mother, as previously reported, went viral leading to a whirlwind of online shaming. Okay.

Did it, though, because you actually, it says in the story, gained Instagram followers, you know, to 2.1 million followers. And you've secured multiple brand deals as an influencer. So now you're just trying to remain relevant with the same story. So she now claims that she is officially filed against the airlines to seek compensation for distress. and damages caused by the ordeal. She also filed against the fellow passenger who filed her. Okay, who filmed her.

Citing judicial secrecy, she declined to reveal the amount and was not sure the legal paperwork. She didn't share the legal paperwork. Okay, all right, no problem. She says she wants to prevent similar public shaming and what she called unauthorized exposure in the future. Uh-huh.

So she got on the plane. She said that there was the kid sitting in her seat. She had pre-booked her flight next to the window, if you don't recall the story. And she asked, she said, you know, waited for the kid to move or told him, hey, it's my seat, get out. And the kid did. But then he cried through the entire flight. And she said it was uncomfortable. It's understandable when traveling for the little kid.

What surprised me was the fact that the person who had nothing to do with the situation started filming me without permission, insulting me and trying to publicly embarrass me simply because I didn't want to change seats. Now, she claims she got public backlash. Not from me. I say sit in the seat you are assigned to. That's up to you.

They can ask, we've talked about this before, people can ask all the time, hey, do you mind if I sit here because I want to sit next to my wife or I want to sit next to my kid? And you can say, no. It's really simple. No, I booked this seat.

That's where I want to sit. Sorry about it. You didn't book it in time. I'm sorry. You know, look for someone else to help you out. But it's not going to be me. Sorry. So, anyway,

Castro is still trying to remain relevant in her social media world by suing the airline and the lady who filmed her. Apparently, I don't know how much money she's making on her Instagram account, but I'm sure that she wants to keep that influencer brand going

and that's what this lawsuit is and good luck good luck to Jennifer because she was in the right but we see people filmed all the time on airlines and if we start suing people for that well I guess I guess it's going to happen

do you have your permission to film you while you become where you're a jerk on a plane no no you do not You know, she also claims that professionally my life has changed a lot. I don't longer work in the field I worked before. She was a banker, I guess probably a bank teller. I don't know.

And she said she, at the height of the repercussions, so I'm guessing that isn't now. She practically didn't leave the house. And she also said, in addition to the emotional impact, I was also afraid because we know that unfortunately, there are many bad people in the world. Yeah. Does everyone know exactly where you live and that it's you?

I just find that hard to believe. But, you know, that's the way she felt. Ugh. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug,

but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. How about would you pay for a little over six acre piece of property that was built by the co-founder and former CEO of Howard Hughes Holdings, a company that's based in the woodlands, which is just out of just around out of Houston, Texas.

But this particular property is in DFW, the greater Dallas area. It, uh, Wine Trub reportedly cobbled together the land 25 years ago and then has spent several more years building the 16,000 square foot main home. There's a second home on the acreage where you can stay if you come to visit that adds an additional 4,000 square feet of living space. Okay, looks really nice. It's got nine bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, known as the 40, because it's a small community, I bet, of North 40, which is a former ranch known as Oakdale Farm. It was subdivided into eight lots in the 1960s. Okay.

No problem. The house is North 40 Place, and as you can imagine, it's got one wing dedicated to living space, another to entertainment, and according to the listing, the entertainment wing includes a bar, library, massage room, media room, game room, and wine cellar that all open onto the outdoor spaces, The extensive grounds include a pond, a tennis court, a swimming pool, a putting green, and a pavilion for entertaining up to 600 guests. How much would you pay? Well, they're asking for $24.9 million.

Now, it says in this story, it's currently priced at just over $24.9 million. So is that $25 or $2492? I just, I'm not quite sure, but it's priced right now at just over $24.9 million. It looks beautiful. Is it worth $30 million? I don't know. Six anchors with all the amenities, maybe, maybe, but I'll tell you what you really need is do you need to get a hold of real estate agents I trust?

I know. Real estate agents I trust.com will help you out if you're looking to purchase a new home. maybe not a 16,000 square foot main home with an additional visitors dump 4,000 square feet living space.

Go to real estate agents I trust.com. Look, anytime in life that you make a big change, it's going to be hard. Well, it's a way you move into this new 16,000 square foot home. It's going to be hard.

And, of course, the stakes are about as high as they ever get in terms of financial decisions that you make. Yeah, you may get a better deal. You may be able to move into the 40 for under $24.9 million, which would be huge. And that's why you would be excited to use real estate agents. I trust.com.

Okay, so let's say that you just dropped $20 million on a new house and you want to do some traveling. You know what? We bought a new house and I feel so good and they've got a little remodeling and touching up to do.

Let's get out of here. Let's do a little traveling. But we need to go to a country that has clean air. I want to breathe fresh air. Where can we go? Well, according to new data from the World Health Organization's air quality standards, which I love that, and they have a quality monitoring firm IQ Air investigating this.

The countries in which you can breathe easily are Australia, New Zealand, The Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada, you're welcome for saving Grenada, Estonia, and Iceland. The Swiss air quality monitoring firm IQ Air. Wow, didn't even pick their own country. Amazing. Meanwhile, the country's with the most books. So if you're thinking about going to Chad and who isn't, Bangladesh, Pakistan, the DRC, even just India as a whole. Yeah, there's air pollution issues.

Apparently, the WHO, the World Health Organization, recommends no more than five micrograms per cubic meter of the tiny toxic airborne particles known as PM2.5. And IQ Air has determined only 17% of the world's cities were able to meet that standard in 2024. Oh, okay. So you do not want to, you know, want to have people go to places that have PM 2.5 above five micrograms per cubic meter.

And so keep that in mind when you want to go on vacation. Barbados sounds nice. Grenada sounds nice. I don't know about Estonia. Iceland, maybe. New Zealand, Australia. Yeah, I wouldn't mind going there and visiting. I always did want to go.

I always wanted to go to Australia, and I haven't yet, and it is a little disappointing. But the New Zealand, eh, you know. But I could do some Barbados, some Bahamas. That'd be nice. Especially knowing that they have less than five micrograms per cubic meter of the tiny toxic airborne particles known as PM2.5. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink desperately. Wow, I see where Othello, starring Danzel Washington and Jake Ghillon Hall,

became the highest grossing play in Broadway history last week, with a total of $2,818,297 for eight performances. The total came as the play is only in its second week of previews and played to 100% capacity. The play itself, Othello, is scheduled to open Sunday, March 23rd for a strictly limited engagement through Sunday, June 8th at the Barrymore Theater. Wow. And it's already cranked money. I mean, it's got Danzel, hello, and Jake Gillinghall.

I mean, you can't go wrong. I'm sure it's going to be awesome. I'm sure it was awesome. The average ticket price last week was $338.9, which was also the highest on Broadway for the week. hundreds of dollars above the next highest price. The prior week, Othello also topped the prices of all of those shows with an average ticket price of $361.90, and it grossed $2.6 million across the first seven performances, which was also a record.

So the previous record for highest grossing play was held by Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which grossed $2,718,48,488 for the holiday week. ending December 31st. That was way back in 2023. So go see it. If you can get a ticket, you're going to want to get your tickets now for Othello, which will be playing at the Barrymore Theater,

March 23rd through Sunday, June 8th. And that's with Danzel and Jake. They're already raking it in. And I'm pretty sure that you're not sitting up close at $338 a ticket. You are way back there because that's where the $338 ticket sit. So if you want to sit up front,

you're going to be putting out more than $338. And that's, I mean, that's just for a ticket. If you want to be part of get the full Gene Simmons experience with Kiss, that's going to cost you over $12,000. Okay, so Gene Simmons now says, that he's giving fans the opportunity to be his personal assistant and band roadie. Aw, that's so nice. He promises you'll be on the GS band team crew for the entire day,

be on the inside of his daily schedule while he's out on the road for his solo tour with his Gene Simmons band this spring. Not only will the lucky fan do manual labor, like helping set up for the band's show, They will sit in on sound checks, arrive at the venue with the band, and hang out backstage. He also promises that since you spent $12,495, you get to eat with him, and you'll eat with him either at the hotel or backstage, depending on when he's hungry. And you'll be able to be up on stage.

He'll bring you up on stage during the concert and introduce you to the crowd. Aw, that's so special. and that's only for $12,495. That is so special. That would be, I mean, I guess it would be kind of cool if you had an extra $12,495 laying around and you were a big Kiss fan or a big Gene Simmons fan. You get to do that.

I will also say that, I guess, according to the listing, you will go home with a set list signed by Simmons and assigned rehearsal used bass. Oh, yeah, they're going to give you a bass, but it's going to be one we used at rehearsal, not the real one. Then you're going to be able to take photos during the day of your entire experience.

When it comes to outside items, Simmons will only allow them to bring an additional four things for him to sign, and it can't be any instruments or parts. Oh, that's so special. So you get to meet up with Gene. You get to be with the crew the entire day. You're going to crew member shirt and hat. You get a crew member VIP lamin it.

Whoa. You'll have a meal with Gene, as we said. You'll arrive and load into the venue with the band. You'll help the band set up for the show. Hang out backstage. Sit them of soundtracks. He'll introduce you. You get the set list, take photos.

You may bring one guest. Okay. So now we're up in the game a little bit for 12,000. $470 $495, yeah $12,495. So you get to bring a guest, you may bring the four items that he'll sign

and you get a Gene Simmons rehearsal used bass signed by Gene. Wow, that's you get one of these ultimate experiences per show. So, huh? Now, how do you want to spend $12,490?

Oh, wow. And if you don't have the $12,495, and let's say you only have $6,500, you can enter and get assigned a base while supplies last and meet Simmons backstage at one of his shows. So if you don't have the $12,495 and you only have $6,500, you can still get a signed base and meet Gene backstage at one of his shows. How great is that, huh?

I mean, there's 20 shows. It says here there's going to be 20 shows in this particular tour. So while supplies last, they're not going to be able to come up with 20 signed bases? Come on now, Gene. I see where Netflix is bringing back John Mullaney for his Everybody's Live with John Mullaney show. The new Netflix series will stream live on,

Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Eastern and will run for the next 12 weeks, and it will not be quite L.A.centric. Remember, that's the first one, the one week only talk show with everybody's in L.A. It will still include Malini's two sidekicks, his MC Richard Kind, and the show's delivery cart robot, Samo. The same fast and loose format. Okay. Meaning expect live calls from audience members and a wacky stars and a wacky star-stended hodge of celebrity guests will appear in the debut episode Michael Keaton, Joan Baez and Fred Armisen.

Will it be slightly chaotic? Probably, but in the best way possible. While if Netflix is getting in on the nighttime shows, boy, the homeboys at the networks should start getting worried. Kobe, Kimmel. I know. I, Fallon, they all should start sweating.

Not so much, Conan. Conan just signed a new deal with Max. John Oliver is last week tonight. Seth Myers, maybe, yeah. Those guys all better start sweating just a little bit because Netflix is now giving a new show for the talk shows at night. And it'll give them a run for their money. It's hockey season, and you can get ever.

the Camio app. Okay, who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Simon Fisher Becker. Simon Fisher Becker, no relation, announced by his husband that he is dead at the age of 63. Now, it doesn't say what the cause of death was, but I will say that Simon Fisher Becker looked like he was over. overweight, and by that I mean a lot overweight. So it's very sad that he died. You may remember him. He played a prominent role in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone, and Dr. Who? Really?

Yes, he did. Okay. He appeared in three episodes of Doctor Who as a black market salesman who assists the title character played by Matt Smith. He's perhaps bad. best remembered for his role in the first Harry Potter movie. And of course, I mean, when you think of Harry Potter movies, you think of the Fat Friar,

one of the cadre of good-hearted spirits haunting the walls of Hogwarts. Yes, that's our man, Simon Fisher-Backer, dead at the age of 63. And yes, you remember him, of course, as the fat. fryer i mean who doesn't rest in peace to uh simon fisher becker then we have seattle radio icon bob rivers very sad dead at the age of 68 after a battle with cancer man i tell you that's such a horrible disease uh doesn't say what specific cancer bob had i'm sure he's talked about it on his radio show forever in Seattle. He is in the Radio Hall of Fame, so congratulations to Bob Rivers for that.

And you remember his songs? I mean, the 12 Pains of Christmas walking around in women's underwear? Hello? That's a classic. He's got plenty of songs in him. I mean, well deserved going into the Radio Hall of Fame for that. Oh, come all you grateful deadheads. Hey, you get off my house.

Really funny. Really funny, funny, funny stuff. So, rest in peace to Bob Rivers, dead of esophageal cancer at the age of 68. And then we have Stanley R. Jaffe. Stanley R. Jaffe, Oscar-winning Kramer versus Kramer producer, dead at the age of 84. I mean, he was behind fatal attraction. and the bad news bears. He was, he died peaceful at his home.

It doesn't say what the cause of death was. He was 84. So, I'm not quite sure what that would be. At 29, though, he was named the executive VP and C-O-O of Paramount Pictures. Pretty incredible, which he was the youngest head of a major studio in Hollywood history. And before he departed a couple of years, later to return to independent producing, he greenlighted love

story and the godfather. Yes, you've heard of those. So rest in peace to Stanley R. Jaffe dead at the age of 84. Okay, we have a Pope update too. The Vatican said the Pope is

no longer in imminent danger from the infection. Okay. Doctors have moved to lift the Pope's prognosis for the first time since he was hospitalized because of how well he's improving. However, they state that his condition remains complex and he is not fully out of the woods. So he's not in imminent danger, but he still is in complex condition. All right. So the Pope rolls on. It will be interesting

to see how this case pans out. So a license embalmer in the state of Texas. She worked for a memorial mortuary and crematory in Texas, and I love them. She allegedly cut off a dead man's man parts and stuffed them into his mouth. I know, I know. So I guess the 34-year-old Amber Page Laudermilk committed this act after finding out that the man had been a registered sex offender. Apparently, she used a scalpel to stab at his man parts.

And then now she's charged with Rodriguez, the guy who was dead, had been charged with sexual assault, received 10 years of deferred adjudication before he died at the age of 58 of Natural Caulfs. And he was cremated after the alleged desecration. So don't know that it matters, right? It mattered to her, not him, but okay, sure. The case, according to, you know, the prosecution, the case is about two troubled people, the victim who is a registered sex offender and the defendant

who's accused of viciously attacking his dead body. No matter what one thinks of his life, the law requires that he be treated with dignity and death. Okay. And apparently, one of the witnesses to Laudermount saw her do it, and she just said you didn't see anything. And apparently that was met as a perceived threat. Oh, okay.

You know how people say you didn't see anything. Yeah, that's a threat. Because if you did, that means you're going down. Okay. All right. I know that, look, you're supposed to treat these people with. respect when they're dead, right? And that's part of your deal, working at the mortuary and becoming, you know,

an embalmer. And so, you're not supposed to be doing that. So she is now charged with a felony. It will be fascinating to see how this trial plays out because she's being held in jail now, Harris County, that's down, you know, greater Houston area. And it'll be interesting to see how this plays out because I got it. You know, he's a sicko. He was a sicko when he was alive. But he was dead.

And so you're supposed to, you know, treat them with respect and dignity, aren't you? Oh, no. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

Oh, no, the man who is believed to be the longest serving inmate in England, having spent 49 years behind bars, is now on a hunger strike. what will we do what will we do he's a serial killer notorious for his eating habits

because it said that he ate the brains of one of his victims he now is pissed because the guards took everything away from him they took his TV they took his PlayStation they took his books he is he's really pissed

and he's angry and he's turned away meals and he will not ingest anything until his prize electronics have returned He's in a glass cage inside the prison. And he's been there for 49 years. And he is unhappy about not having his music system, his books, his PlayStation and his TV.

So apparently the guards are saying he's been abusive. And when they took him back to his cell, they had taken everything out of it. And now he's pissed. And he's not going to start. He's not going to eat. eat. Oh, well, I mean, he's been there for 49 years. Maybe this is the prison's plan. If he goes on a hunger strike and kicks the bucket, we don't have to continue to pay for him to be in prison.

Maybe that's the plan. I don't know. But you need to feel sorry for Paul M-A-U-D-S-L-E-Y, the serial killer in England, who again, like I said, is the longest serving in England, or he's believed to be anyway. Fis have 49 years behind bars already, and he is unhappy that he does not have his PlayStation, his books, or his radio. And I, man, I don't know what I can do for you, Paul. But whatever you need, you're not going to get it. So you either eat or you die.

I don't know what to tell you. I feel like that's what's going to happen. but in today's world you know they'll find a way he'll get his PlayStation back here you go go ahead play your games

and I don't know if the former Philippine president Rodriguez Adorte will get a game PlayStation in his cell but he was arrested yesterday by a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court

the 79 year old was returning from Hong Kong. He was at Manilis International Airport, and law enforcement took him into custody for alleged crimes against humanity tied to his anti-drug campaign. So the arrest concludes a year's long. Yeah, I mean, ICC investigation.
