Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher - Ep 119 | Is Bigfoot Real, The New Lab Rat & The Sober Curious Trend

Episode Date: June 6, 2019

The FBI recently released the report they had on a supposed Bigfoot file they had and let's just say, Jeffy isn't convinced. Also, instead of testing on rats or other animals, the future of lab testing may be on the weirdest animal you can imagine. A trend for alcohol-free bars is slowly becoming a trend and Jeffy doesn't quite understand the appeal.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How many of you believe in Bigfoot? How many of you believe that there's actual giant, almost human animals roaming around the woods in different states of this country? And we still haven't actually found them. Well, even the FBI believed in it. Well, they at least had a file. The Federal Bureau of Investigations released yesterday Their correspondence file Containing results and tested performed on tissue sample alleged to be

Bigfoot Now people have sent them They've released it's about a 22-page file And people have sent them letters Where they had seen Bigfoot They were reporting Bigfoot I mean we've all seen the movies and the video clips You know the big one the fake one

The big one that was originally It's supposed to be the real one but it was actually fake. But, I mean, really, they're all kind of fake, right? We've heard, if you listen to Coast to Coast AM, they have, they've played audio of people out in the woods that believe it's Sasquatch, and you hear the, oh. Okay, well, it's similar to an orangutan, but really it's not.

That noise that you heard was an orangutan, and it wasn't Sasquatch. don't make jokes. Sasquatch and Bigfoot are not orangutans. But they sound similar. You hear them hollering and making noises and you hear. I remember one audio playback that I heard 100 years ago now where they talked about the Bigfoot, the animal ran into the side of the car, made a big noise. And, you know, couldn't have been any other animal.

My question is, and thankfully the FBI had their file of, you know, and it came out on their somebody did a Freedom of Information Act request and they got it and they got it and they sent the one one of the papers had sent in a skin and hair samples that ended up being deer but you know so that's a little a little bit of ways from from Bigfoot but my my question is and I want to believe I want to believe that there's you know the Sasquatch and the Bigfoot and they're out there and it's so cool that they've been living you know out there in the middle of nowhere forever and they're hiding and making runs and they don't deal with humans.

My question is, if they were for real, not only would we have found some kind of debris as they scrape up against trees and stuff, we would have found other debris. You know, like some sort of Sasquatch waste. I mean, are they out in the woods that they just disappear and when they go to the bathroom? And I mean, when they go, when they relieve themselves both one and number two, it just disappears.

We've never found any of that. We've never found any of like, oh, this is a little cave where they live. This is up. So either there, they can make themselves invisible. They just disappear. Poop. They go off into invisible land of Sasquatch where they can pee and poop all by themselves and nobody knows it. Or they just aren't real.

My guess? Number two. So a couple of teacher stories in the news. Two of my favorite ones that are in the news. One, a teacher in Fort Worth, Texas, Fort Worth, ISD. Georgia Clark. Thought that she was tweeting directly to the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. One of the tweets said, Mr. President,

Fort Worth Independent School District is loaded with illegal students from Mexico. Carter Riverside High School has been taken over by them. Drug dealers are on our campus and nothing was done to them. And she had tweeted a couple other things as well. Like, I really do need a contact here in Fort Worth who should be actively investigating and removing illegals that are in the public school system. Wow. Now, those have been deleted now. Of course, we've got them. You know, people have got them saved and screenshoted.

The Fort Worth ISD slapped her on the hand and said, you know, you're just going to be, go over there, go away for a while with pay. And then they voted, nope, you know what? You're fired. Have a nice day. Now, two things. You have a teacher that doesn't realize Twitter is not like a. your personal text to the president of the United States. I mean, it's pretty much public, whatever you're tweeting,

because that's what it is. I realize maybe if you just went at Donald Trump, you thought it was just going directly to him. Not the way it works, Georgia. She knows that now. But I don't see, I'm going to get myself in trouble here, so let's go easy. I'll just go easy and get myself in just a little bit of trouble.

And a message to the parents last week, Fort Worth ISD Superintendent Kent Shreibner said there has been much talk of the news and on the internet about the use of social media by our staff. Our mission is to prepare all students for success in college, career, community leadership. Let me reiterate our commitment that every child in the district is welcome and is to be treated with dignity and respect. I don't see where she was saying that they shouldn't be treated with dignity and respect. she was just saying hey there's all these students here at this school that aren't illegal aliens

and I'd like to be able to do something about it because even with all these illegal aliens then we're getting all these drug dealers on campus and something should be done isn't anything being done about what she complained about no you want to know why Because we're in a world now where you know what they're doing?

They're looking after the person who complained. Never mind what she complained about. What she complained about made her racist and a hater. So we don't care about what she complained about. We care about getting rid of her and her hateful talk of wanting to clean up this school district. It's ridiculous. Another teacher story. You'd think teachers would be smarter.

You know, there used to be a day when you thought teachers were smarter. So a mother of three teacher, 42 years of age, is in the first class lounge before a flight to Dubai. Don't ask me, don't ask me. It's a vacation. I mean, I'd like to go to Dubai too. I don't make teacher money. I'm not able to take three months off in the summer. So, you know, she's off to Dubai for the summer.

She realizes, oh, hey, you know, I'm going on this vacation. Oh, my gosh. I've still got this bag of cocaine in my purse. I don't know what I'll do. You know what I'll do is just swallow this bag and it'll be fine. No. No, it won't. It won't be fine because the bag broke and she went into a seizure and died.

Just dumb. Just completely dumb. Completely dumb. Another story in the dumb category. of course coming from the great state of Florida. Authorities say two Florida burglars thought they were clever. They used a blow torch to break into an ATM machine. They said video of the two would-be thieves,

one armed with a crowbar and appeared to serve as a lookout, while the other took the blow torch to the ATM. And off the top of your head, you'd think to yourself, maybe that's a good idea. Uh-uh. Wrong, dumb. Instead of cutting the ATM with the blowtorch, the thief welded the metal parts shut so they couldn't get anything open and walked away with nothing. I mean, that is just dumb.

As long as we're talking about teachers and schools and stuff, I have a story here that's been sitting in. I know, I realize that tomorrow was Fat Pile Friday, and I could have left it for Fat Pile Friday because it's just a silly story that makes the rounds ever so often. and you see stories like this, but I just found it, I found it cute. A mother who sent a, an excuse letter to school because her daughter was tardy

and it was just getting up late and never making it to school on time. And the administrators needed a proper explanation about her daughter's excessive lateness. So she wrote a letter explaining what the problem was, and it said to whom it may concern. Kara is a tardy this morning as a result of a condition known as Teenageism. Adolescents across our great nation are afflicted and there is no known cure.

Symptoms are multitudinous, but this particular morning, she suffered from an inability to remove herself from her bed and also felt the need to talk back to her birthgiver. She seemed to be recovering her senses after watching her cell phone fly out the car window. Please call if there's another flare up. Thank you. Now, you know, you just got to hand it to mom for that. And for those of you that have teenage children with a problem that actually send your children to regular school, why do you do that when you can homeschool and just holler at them at the house? You've got them alone.

I mean, that's the reason I have, I'm homeschooling is so they could do chores around. the house and work for me. Please. What is going to be the next lab rat? We can't test monkeys. We can't test. I mean, they're already banning any kind of DNA or human fetuses from abortion clinics across the country, which is good.

I mean, I'm fine with that. Let's just curb that right now by just, I don't know, saying no more abortions. How about that? That's a good way. But I digress back. I'm not talking about abortion. I'm talking about what we're going to use to test for any kind of behavior as far as the medical profession, the pharmacy profession, makeup. They all use stuff to test, some kind of animal to test their stuff on.

Well, some use fruit flies, some use rats, some use zebrafish. However, the new hot commodity of lab rats, squid and octopuses. I know, I know. But apparently they have elaborate brains and behaviors, and scientists say, hey, studying them in the laboratory could yield important biological insights. So be ready for that because soon we'll be hearing about the elimination of octopi, Is it octopi or octopuses all over the world? And so much for calamari.

So much for calamari. Because who isn't a fan of calamari? But did you know? And as I'm reading about the ocean life and fish and squid and octopuses or octopi. I run into a story about tuna. And, you know, I mean, everybody likes tuna now and then. Everybody has, you know, everybody was wearing. with their tuna casseroles and, you know, tuna sandwiches and tuna salads and whatever,

all else with tuna. I mean, my mother used to, my mother loved toasted tuna fish sandwiches, and she loved the tuna with, you know, chopped up onions and the tuna with a bunch of mayonnaise and then the bread was toasted. Now, I'm not a fan of, you know, mayo is like bougie sauce. And onions, ooh, in tuna? No. tuna with just a little bit of bougie sauce and on toast?

Tremendous. However, I was looking at this story that it gives tuna by the numbers. A little insight for you today, Tuna by the numbers. 59%. Share of fish labeled tuna sold at U.S. restaurants and grocery stores that is not tuna. 59%. That's huge. 80%.

is the estimated share of the world's catch of bluefin tuna that goes to Japan for use in sushi and sashimi. Wow. So we're only getting, I mean, we're not even getting a, we're getting a sliver of that. $3.1 million record price for a giant Pacific bluefin tuna at the first tuna auction this year at Tokyo's Tusaki Fish Market, which routinely sees bluefin go for absurd prices. Three million bucks? That tuna fish better be. whale size, man.

Two companies making plant-based alternatives to tuna. Okay. Can we? Okay. Shelf life of unopened, canned tuna.

What would you say? Off the top of your head. You figure out a can of tuna, sit down your shelf, unopened. How long is it good for? According to this story, four years. Amazing.

Maximum size of the bullet tuna, which is the smallest of the tuna species. Four pounds. Wow. Maximum size of the Atlantic bluefin, the largest tuna. 2,000 pounds. Okay, so you got a 2,000 pound bluefish going for 3 million. That still seems like an awful lot. and the Atlantic bluefin tuna

can swim at speeds of 43 miles an hour I was doing some swimming I was doing some serious distance just let you know a little inside tuna on chewing the fat all right let's go to the break room I need a drink of Coca-Cola zero sugar anyway for sure

Oh my gosh. It's so good. Seriously, I'm going to take another drink. No kidding you. Okay, so I also want to say you're welcome to at Chef Josh Ruehru-Ruda. I know I'm saying that wrong. I know I am. I can at Chef Josh, R-U-E-D-A.

All right. His Twitter handle is, It's all in the eyes. I want to tell him you're welcome because he tweeted me today at Jeffrey JFR. Damn it. I haven't consumed pop soda in a long time. And after listening to chewing the fat for so long,

you got me. And he sent a picture of a bottle of Coca-Cola zero sugar. I just want to say, you are welcome, my friend. I know. And they're addictive. And I am addicted. I'm clearly, I'm an addictive personality.

I know that. And Coca-Cola Zero is, you know, they've got me hooked. In fact, I'm not saying, I'm not saying I'm going to sue them if they don't become a sponsor of this broadcast. I was saying it is a possibility of my life. Don't laugh. No laugh. All right, we're in the break group, so we'll talk a little bit of food. the uh france netella company uh be ready to pay more prices not because of tariffs or not because of

percentages because uh the workers are on strike i mean they're shutting down production and they're stopping preventing trucks from entering or leaving the plant so you big nutella fans out there uh good luck god bless whatever's left on the shelf get to it price is going up okay there was also the big story about Taco Bell. You know, people are dumb. This should have been in the... I should just do a whole dumb segment. It should be dumb.

Today in our dumb segment, we've already... We've talked about the two dumb teachers. Let's talk about the customer who... And I can understand how you'd be upset. They went to Taco Bell, and Taco Bell had run out of both hard and taco shells. All right.

Now, how in the world does... a Taco Bell run out of hard and soft taco shells. That's poor management. It's poor ownership. Taco Bell should, you know, look into that franchise immediately and look into the training and their ordering process. Maybe they had a run. Maybe they had a special run or they didn't get a shipment because of a storm.

Something I get there could be excuses. But because of that, a lady called 911. want and complain to the police department that Taco Bell had run out of the hardest offices and wanted the police to come to the store and do something about it. Now the police responded. Good for them. The department says that while it is a travesty, there's nothing that we could do about it. And the department also said that we hope the Taco Bell stock has been replenished.

And they also left a comment at the end. of their reply, you can't make this stuff up. Actually, you can't. Because I'm having a feeling we're going to find out that it's not true. Actually, you can't. But now Taco Bell, in other Taco Bell news, is giving away free Doritos, Locos, Tacos, Tacos on June 18th. Mark it down. June 18th, 2019.

I mean, okay. Okay. June 18th, giving away free Doritos, Locos Tacos. And I'll give you the details when those become available. We also saw Miley Cyrus do her little abortion thing with the cake and abortion is healthcare. And Miley's looking as beautiful as she always looks. Just a, I mean, just a. Well, you know, just as beautiful as she always looks.

But a big surprise that she's doing this promotion and getting all the coverage because she comes, I'm sure, comes from the school of as long as they're talking about you. Any promotion is good promotion. As long as they're talking about you, they're talking about you. Big surprise. She's just released her latest EP. She is coming. It's the title. The EP.

I mean to tell you, Miley, I love you. There's nothing. You know what?

Tyler Perry sent out a notice to the person who posted a billboard around Atlanta. Spent thousands of dollars posting a billboard.

Attention, Mr. Perry. Rachel Bailey is your next leading lady, and she puts Rachelbailey.com and her Twitter account up on the billboard with her picture. Tyler responded. So here's the deal. This is not the way to get my attention. If you're looking for a role in one of my shows, please don't do this. Save your money.

This is the third time that someone has done this. And by the way, Rachel, that having been said it's the third time, you're not the original. All right. So you're already behind the A ball. All right. Please stop. The audition is free. I'm sure you could use that money for a better purpose.

I love that you want to work with me. I love that you invested yourself. But when you do things like this, it puts my team on high alert. It makes me look at you sideways. We've talked about this before. you know, it's a, it's a strange phenomenon that people just show up and, you know, they're in your face. It's a little scary. I know.

It's well-being, but that's what Tyler's saying. It just makes people think, ooh, maybe a little. So I know the message, I know the message that you want to send is a positive one, but this comes across as the opposite. Again, the best way to work for me is to audition, and it's free. We post breakdowns all the time for actors. Just come and audition. And by the way, you were great in the night of. It was my favorite show a couple years ago.

I already saw you just so audition and keep your money again. I appreciate your effort. That's not the way to work for me. God bless you, Dreamer. I have no doubt you will make it one day. So Tyler was, that was very nice. I mean, Tyler Perry is the man. No question.

That was great. But the billboards aren't working. So if you're thinking to yourself, you know, if I put a billboard around Dallas with my picture on it and say, hey, attention, Jeff Fisher, attention chewing the fat. My name is whatever. I want to be your next leading lady. I might actually call you back.

You know what? If you have guts enough to put a billboard around Dallas, Fort Worth saying that, I'd absolutely call you back. A headline that's been kind of bugging me for the last couple days was a story about bars without alcohol. And the story is talking about inside the growing, sober, curious trend. More people decide to forego traditional cocktails and beer

in an attempt to feel healthier. Alcohol-free bars and events are popping up across the country. Yeah. I mean, here's a little thought. It's really just been, I mean, you can go anywhere and be sober curious. You can go to any, any bar in America and remain sober curious. It is amazing.

to me how we've become this I mean sober curious Are you kidding me? I mean that's just that's life I remember drinking a lot when I was drinking And you know I quit drinking because I was just tired of being drunk

I remember I didn't quit drinking because I thought it was an alcoholic And I thought I didn't wake up on the floor And have blackouts You know, I just was tired. I just tired of being drunk. I just had enough of being drunk. And, you know, I mean, I used to, I mean, it was a six-pack to drive home every day for a long time.

Six-pack of tall boys. Slam one or two in the parking lot before you leave and then just drive, just slam four on the way home. And that's the, those are the years that I was driving a car that was smashed into. It was all dented up. I mean, I had a car that was parked and some guy, a drunken white man, a drunken white man, I might add. Sanford Oliver Pate is his name, smashed into the back of my Oldsmobile, and it smashed the trunk in so bad. And I drove that car after it smashed for another year. I took it to the insurance.

I may have you, I don't even have told this story before. I took it to the insurance company, and the guy came out to appraise it. And he started laughing. He started going, ha, ha, ha. And I'm like, what are you laughing at? That's my car, man. And he says, okay, and that's the car I paid $80 for. But I paid $80 for that car.

Oldsmobile Delta 88, 4-door, had about an 800 engine in it. I mean, it was, I love that car. And the guy says, you know, I'll tell you what, you can drive it home and I'll send a tow truck. And, you know, the tow, give you a check for, you know, $450, $500. Or I'll write you a check for $300. now and you can keep the car. Uh, write that check for

300 bucks and I'm driving away. I was broke in those days, man, living on Madeira Beach, Florida. Brook. I drove that car, so when I used to drive home and I'm not advocating drinking and driving, it's, you should not do it,

it's breaking the law, it's bad. I did at that time. And, uh, I can remember, I can remember police officers driving by me just looking at my car like, that guy's had enough problems

we'll leave him alone so I don't understand the sober curious just be sober duh Amazon broke out their new drone looks like they're ready to go they drove it at their big conference

they had the big smoke and guns and roses music and they're showing the big drones they unveiled their new electric drone and it looks big it's really big too man it can fly up to 15 miles, both vertically and horizontally. Good.

I could deliver, according to Amazon, it delivers small packages in under 30 minutes. Okay, we'll see. And it says there's, you know, the FAA has been slow to certify. Yeah, no kidding. Duh, they don't want these drones flying into their airplanes. And I don't either. But I do want drone deliveries. And I am a fan.

And I told you already, I'm willing to put in a drone delivery drop box on my roof. So it just slides down. drop the package in, it just drives through. So the drone doesn't even have to drop it in the yard or anything like that. It just flies over the house and drops it in the drop box. Man, do I want that to happen? Bad. But we'll see how that goes and where that, you know, how far, what kind of neighborhoods it runs in,

how it's going to charge, where it's going to go. It's going to be fascinating to see it happen. But I cannot wait for drone delivery. I'm serious, man. I want to be able to. I want to be able to open up my Amazon app on my phone and say, send me toothpaste. And have toothpaste. Oh, it's here.

That's what I want. Honey, did we run out of it's here? Okay. Watch out. Hey, kids, the drone's coming. Oh, look out. Oh, Billy just got the box in the head. That's why you need the drone delivery drop box.

on the ceiling. You don't want Billy to get the box of their head. Little entertainment news. Netflix, Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors behind some of Marvel's most successful films, is going to create an animated Netflix series based on magic called The Gathering. I don't know if you know about that, but it's kind of a cult favorite trading card game from Hasbro. Jessica Jones dropped today, season three, the final season.

of Jessica Jones on Netflix, if you're a fan. And also Netflix, I believe season five of Black Mirror, that you can get into Black Mirror, which is that those shows. I mean, that's the modern day Twilight Zone, man, if you're not aware, I love it. And also congratulations to Robert Downey Jr.

Of course, he gave the keynote opening keynote for Amazon's Mars conference. We talked about where they unveiled their new drone for drone delivery. He announced the launch of a new organization that is committed to using advanced technologies for the good of the environment, entitled The Footprint Coalition, scheduled to officially launch in April of next year. between robotics and nanotechnology, we could clean up the planet significantly,

if not totally, in 10 years. He said that he'd be given these insights a few weeks back by a roundtable of experts, and I just had to do something. So look forward to the footprint coalition. And getting together, being committed by using advanced technologies for the good of the environment. I would like to have been at that roundtable because I have a feeling we'd be discussing a couple of different things

than what they were discussing at his round table. But, hey, Robert, thank you. Thank you. And bless your heart for wanting to clean up the planet.
