Starting point is 00:00:00 Is it the matcha or am I this energized from scoring three Sephora holiday gift sets? Definitely the sets. Full size and minis bundled together? What a steal. And that packaging? So cute. It practically wraps itself. And I know I should be giving them away, but I'm keeping the Summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. I don't blame you. The best holiday beauty sets are only at Sephora. Gift sets from Summer Fridays, Rare Beauty, Way and more are going fast.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Get full-sized favorites and must-have minis bundled for more value. Shop before they're gone. In store online at Sephora.com. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So we know people are losing their jobs because of the mandates of being vaccinated and those who don't want to be vaccinated. We saw the video of the Washington State Trooper sign off for the last time after 22 years because he was unvaccinated. We know that the ESPN reporter is quitting. because she is unvaccinated.
Starting point is 00:01:03 She claims she's trying to get pregnant and doesn't want to be vaccinated, thought it would hinder her chances of getting pregnant. So tough, get vaccinated. But most importantly this weekend, we got news that New Zealand is getting rid of its official wizard. Now, no news as if this has anything to do with COVID-19. However, we do know that it's, been 20 years since we've had Ian Brackenberry Chanel, known as the official Wizard of New Zealand,
Starting point is 00:01:40 is now out. Have a nice day. New Zealand has said that, hey, we no longer need your services. Your presence don't fit with the new tourism message. In a move, well, the city's promotional landscape is changed. It's going to reflect a vibrant, diverse, modern city that is attractive to residents, domestic and international visitors, new businesses, and skilled migrant workers. But they have nothing to do with you, the official wizard of New Zealand. So take care.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Get out. New Zealand city of Christ Church has annually paid. paid thousands to Ian to be the official wizard of New Zealand. He started out doing it for nothing. And then they said, hey, you're doing such a good job as the New Zealand wizard. We'll go ahead and pay you. And he was making, what, $11,000, $11,000, $12,000 a year for the last 23 years. And his acts of wizardry and other wizard-like services were happy about, you know, for the past 23 years,
Starting point is 00:02:59 just no longer. Have a nice day. Sure, the wizard made our city's cultural life, and he'll be forever part of our history. But no more. Take care. So you, Wizard of New Zealand, get out.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So raising money is always a good thing. Well, it is if you're raising it for a good thing. And there are hundreds, if not thousands of ways to raise money for good causes. Now, this man, Peter Frank, of Upper Peninsula, Michigan, a Yuper, he decided to raise money for a place called the Beacon House, which apparently helped him out.
Starting point is 00:03:56 And he really wanted to give back to the Beacon House in Market. Michigan. Okay, great. And he has a goal of $100,000 and he's reached $15,000. Great, good for him, and good for the Beacon House. But what Peter did was Unicycle Across America. I got news for you and anyone listening. I'm going to tell you what I'm doing to raise money for our rescue, but it isn't unicycle across America. I am not doing that. So Peter, recovering from several injuries, including a broken back, ended his 2,400-mile 99-day unicycling journey across America.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Yeah, new. He set out for Phoenix late June unicycling from Appleton, Wisconsin, all while, you know, raising money for the Beacon House in Marquette. Beacon House housed his family while he was in the hospital, which is great. He says he slept wherever he could, pitches tent, sometimes strangers letting him sleep in their houses. And he really loved the fact that he'd meet somebody each day and spend hours with them and be a part of someone's life during that, during the trip. And that was part of the adventure. The other part of the adventure is unicycling.
Starting point is 00:05:28 And, you know, while it's 2,400 miles, And he's unicycled for 99 days. I'm not really sure that Appleton, Wisconsin to Phoenix is across the country, but it's far enough. I'll guarantee you that. It's far enough. I'm going to raise money for Our Rescue, but I'm not unicycling. No, I'm going to go out on a limb and shave my head. Yes, that's correct.
Starting point is 00:05:51 So shave a head, save a life. Well, save a human life. Did you realize? And it's just, you know, modern day slavery is what Our Rescue is helping. to put an end to. And I didn't realize that it takes $6,000 for one year from rescue to complete freedom. Okay, so you can help save at least one human, and I'll shave my head live on my Jeff Fisher Radio Facebook page and my Jeff Fisher Radio Instagram page a month from now,
Starting point is 00:06:24 November 19th, 2021. If you're listening live today, it is October 18th, 2021. So if you want to join me and shave your head, if you want to join in solidarity, you know, be with the brothers. You can shave your head, post a pick. Hashtag it. Shave heads, save human. I'm okay with that. Shave head, save human.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Hashtag it. Hashtag it when you shave your head. Now, one of the things that I will post the link on my Twitter, I'll post a link on all my social media accounts, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and I may even just reach out and see if Parlor is still up and running and post it there as well. But I do want to attempt to try to raise $6,000 because that pays for a year of one person's legal documents, medical, travel to home country, food, water, lodging, transportation, and educational, vocational training for a survivor for one year. And I feel like we can do that. My chewing the fat listeners and the Blaze television and radio audience are, you know, will able to, you know, raise at least $6,000 and, you know, help one person get out of slavery.
Starting point is 00:07:42 We can do that, right? So I'll post the links on my social medias. And if you can donate, great. But I'm going to shave my head. I most definitely not going to unicycle across America. Although, good job, Peter Frank. And bless your heart for doing what you can do. But unicycling and chewing the fat, do not go hand in hand or hand in feet or hand in unicyclish world.
Starting point is 00:08:15 So did you see Brian Laundrie? We talked about it on Friday or Landry or whatever's name is Laundry. You know, the possible, the accused killer who's still on the. run that we can't seem to find. Well, they thought they found him. So a man and his girlfriend, Severin Beckwith, and Anna Bretman, were catching
Starting point is 00:08:39 a few winks at a lodge called a Fontana Village Resort, and they heard a knock on the door, and it flew open. Next thing I see, according to Severn, is a bunch of guys with riot shields, with U.S. Marshals written on them.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Handguns pointed at my face. The stunned hiker promptly handcuffed as one of the feds helped Bretman get dressed. He resembles Brian Landry and the sole person of interest, of course, in the Gabby Petito's homicide, right? I believe he's the guy. And so he was, uh, and they believe, you know, he was targeted because he's on the Appalachian Trail. And tipsters reported spotting the 23 year old fugitive on the old Appalachian Trail. He does look similar to Landry. And so he'd been hiking from Georgia to Virginia.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And he booked their room on a credit card connected to an Empire State ID. And, you know, we know that Petito was originally from Long Island. So. But apparently, and he was quickly cleared because he didn't have the telltale tattoos. He produced an ID. And they ruled him out as the wanted man. Oh, sorry. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Yeah, no, darn the luck. And he said that he shaved his beard because the marshal said, hey, why don't you shave your beard? I would tell the marshals, how about no? How about you? Does I ever figure out that I'm not him? But he did. He did.
Starting point is 00:10:20 And then he said he regretted it. But, you know, that's the way it goes. He believes that one of the employees at the Fontana Lake Marina alerted authorities to his presence and even snapped his photo, which the Marshall showed after breaking down the door according to the report. And so the lodge realizing, oh, yeah, we messed up. Gosh, darn it, you're not the one.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Sorry about that. They provided the couple with a free night and a complimentary breakfast. So, man, got to feel good about that, huh? Now, he said it was a buffet, so we took as much as we could. Yeah, I believe I would have taken a whole lot. Like, how about a couple of nights and a couple of buffets to make things kind of right, okay? So the FBI still can't find him, and they don't know where he is, but we're still on the hunt. We're still on the hunt for Brian Laundry.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Gosh darn it, if you look like him, shave your beard. Okay? Just a helpful little hint. Did you see the Lucy mission launch on Saturday from NASA? It's the agency's first to the Jupiter's Trojan asteroids. Yeah, it launched Saturday morning this past Saturday morning, the 16th of October, 2021. You remember Skip LaCome?
Starting point is 00:11:57 He worked with Doc Thompson. He worked at the Blaze, and he was part of that. He works for the United Launch Alliance and helped build the rocket ship and stuff in the rocket ship that NASA launched. I'm going to try to get a hold of him and talk to him. We'll find out what exactly he worked on. I don't know. I don't know if he worked on, you know, shining the outside or if he made sure the windows were clean. I just know that he worked on the rocket and the launch,
Starting point is 00:12:35 and it would be fascinating to find out what he worked on it. But it took off from Cape Canaveral Saturday, the Lucy mission on its way to the Trojan asteroids. I see also where China launched a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in August. We're just finding out about this now. That's great. that spent around the globe in low Earth orbit before striking a target. Oh, that's good.
Starting point is 00:13:03 That's good, right? A hypersonic missile? You know, it could be taken off. No problem. And our military were completely taken off guard. So that's good, right? I mean, we're making sure that we're making sure that we're all okay with, we're not transphobic in the military.
Starting point is 00:13:27 but how about we pay attention to what our enemies are doing? Oh, China's not our enemy, Jeff. Oh, okay. All right. But according to reports, our military were quoted as saying, we have no idea how they did this. Oh, okay, well, well, that's good. Maybe we spend a little time and find out.
Starting point is 00:13:48 What do you say? So it's a weapon that flies at five times the speed of sound. That's slower than a ballistic missile. But what makes hypersonic weapons more dangerous is that they can be maneuvered during their flight, whereas ballistic missiles travel on a fixed point of view. So China could evade the U.S. current defense systems and execute nuclear strike on any target on Earth with near impunity and very little warning. Oh, that's good. That's great.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Now, just so we're clear, China has denied this. Oh, okay. Well, good then. Don't worry about it. We believe you. So let's go to the break room then. All right. Let's get something cold to drink and not worry about it. Man, stop you're whining. They denied it. Oh, my gosh. So I'm down to the last of my Coca-Cola zeros with the black labeling. And now I'm down to the little bottles. I found the eight packs of the little 12-ounce bottles. On the shelf, it was the last of them. And so, of course, I bought them. Heck yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:18 It's a regular Coke Zero. They're refreshing. Good news on the strike possibility in Hollywood for the television crews, the film and television crew. it has been averted. Yes, the some 60,000 behind-the-scene workers walk off their jobs and would have frozen productions in Hollywood across the U.S. did not happen. The 11th hour deal was reached Saturday, so yay!
Starting point is 00:15:52 They had their marathon negotiations and representatives from the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage employees and from the studios and entertainment companies who employ them reached a new three. year contract agreement before the strike deadline. So that's good. It doesn't say exactly what that deal was. I'm sure we'll get more information as time goes. But I'm sure that while they wanted, you know, better working hours, I'm sure that most of it,
Starting point is 00:16:23 as we talked about here on this show came down to money. They wanted a piece of that streaming money and a bigger, a bigger, bigger piece of that streaming money. I'm sure they got it. Speaking of streaming money and companies, don't forget we've got the big possible walkout coming for Netflix in the next couple of days, but the employee who leaked the info
Starting point is 00:16:50 about Dave Chappelle, what he was paid for for his special, employee has been fired. Good luck, goodbye, have a nice day, bye-bye. So you can't disclose confidential financial information and then think, oh, hey, it was all about being transphobic, so it's okay. No, Netflix is one of the most. They share so much with their employees, but they do expect it to stay in-house. And that's the deal.
Starting point is 00:17:23 That's what, remember we talked about, they got in trouble because they complained on a website. they were on Reddit or they were on some website complaining about some inside Netflix problems and they got in big trouble because what's his face from Netflix? You know, Hastings, Reed Hastings, the head, Grand Puba CEO of Netflix.
Starting point is 00:17:49 He was not happy about that. We don't. We keep that in-house. If you've got a problem, bring it to the table, but don't make it public. So, okay, that's great. No problem. Anyway, the person who leaked that information, even though it was all about being transphobic on the Dave Chappelle,
Starting point is 00:18:09 the controversial Dave Chappelle special. No, you can't be doing that. Get out. You're fired. So I see where NBC struggling a little bit, they put their AGT extreme on hold after a stunt goes a little bit wrong. Apparently, this guy barely survived after he was sandwiched between two vehicles,
Starting point is 00:18:36 suspended 70 feet in the air. He was supposed to free himself from a straight jacket while dangling from his feet between the two swinging cars. Instead, the car is slammed into the stuntman, exploding into a ball of fire. He then fell hitting his head. So we went ahead and put that show on hold. just for now. We'll go ahead and just put that on hold. Just for now. And they just had the ultimate slip and slide. Remember that was the poop in the water?
Starting point is 00:19:10 Everybody got sick from the ultimate slip and slide. So NBC, you know, if you need some ideas for shows, call me. I'm here for you. No, no problem. I'm here for you. Did you go to the movies this weekend? I did not.
Starting point is 00:19:26 But perhaps you went to see. see Halloween kills. That was the number one movie with a 50.4 million debut, which pretty good. Halloween scores again. Halloween kills. And I guess they have another
Starting point is 00:19:43 Halloween coming out in 2022 called Halloween End. Okay. I don't know if Jamie Lee is going to be back for that one, but I don't know that, you know, this franchise started in 1978, so I'm not sure that Michael Myers actually can ever be killed.
Starting point is 00:20:08 It doesn't seem that way. But next year we'll get Halloween ends. We'll see if that's actually the end of Michael Myers. And I saw where the last duel bombed. Boom, have a nice day. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck was 14th century France. It's $4.8 million. I mean, that is nothing.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Wow. And that's a $100 million movie. Easy. So good luck to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck coming out with another huge movie like that. And of course, you have the James Bond and No Time to Die still in the rankings. Although that movie, you know, while they're making money globally and here in the U.S. US. That movie was a huge movie as far as cost.
Starting point is 00:21:04 I mean, they spent $250 million on the movie and $100 million in promotional spending. So, I mean, I get the global gross is $447.5 million, but they spent, you know, $350 million before they even
Starting point is 00:21:21 reached that. So I don't know who gets a cut of that. I mean, still, obviously, at least $1,40 million. million or more on top of everything they spent. So somebody's making a little bit of cash. And I see where Michael Kane, I read an article this weekend that talked about Michael Kane retiring. And I mean, he's 88 now.
Starting point is 00:21:43 So, I mean, he's getting up there. And it's, you know, he's probably thinking why I've been in plenty of movies. And that's what he said. He said, yeah, I'm retiring. It's, I've had enough. And, you know, it's over. And then his people, all his representatives, came out the next day and said, oh, no, hey, he is not retiring.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Ah, he is not retiring. So apparently Michael's people still want to get paid. And they want Michael to continue to act and continue to pay them instead of retiring and telling all them to go away. But so we'll see who wins that battle. I mean, he's 88. He's got some back problems now. He's working. And I saw a part of that story was talking about how Michael Cain had practiced not blinking.
Starting point is 00:22:38 He said that he didn't blink for eight years or he tried, you know, to do his best from for not blinking. His nickname was snake eyes because he never blinked while he did scenes. Apparently Anthony Hopkins used. similar advice in silence of the lambs, where he said, if you don't blink, you know, you can keep the audience mesmerized. So I guess there's a technique in a book called Teach Yourself Film Acting, which gave him the idea that not opening and closing your eyes in accordance with nature's whims is a solid acting technique. And so he just don't blink. You must never blink. So he spent the next eight years, you know, walk up.
Starting point is 00:23:27 around trying not to blink. Just something to think about when you're watching movies and actors and going about your daily life when you talk to people, don't blink. Like I've done this entire show today up to now and I haven't blinked once. And that's my new deal now. Yeah, I'm going to do the show without blinking and see if you can tell the difference. I'm sure you'll be able to. Okay, so I just got another email that is either a scam or I'm going to be rich. I can't decide which, but it's a new way to hook me in. Okay, it says it's from a read alone. Read alone.
Starting point is 00:24:22 It starts out, my beloved one, I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is true that this letter may come to you as a surprise and she's right there. it does. Nevertheless, I humbly ask you to give me your attention and hear me well. My name is Mrs. Rita Lone from South Africa. I am married to Mr. Frank Lone, who worked with our embassy here in Ivory Coast, for a period of eight years before he died. We were married for 15 years without a child before he died after a brief illness. Since his death, I decided not to remarry due to my religious belief. When my late husband was alive, he deposited the sum of U.S. 6.5 million $500,000 United States American dollars with the bank here in Ivory Coast. Presently, this money is still in the
Starting point is 00:25:23 custody of the bank here in Ivory Coast. Recently, my doctor told me that I would not last for the next four months due to cancer illness. Oh no, that's sad. Having known my condition, I decided to donate this money to churches, organizations, or good people that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want you to use this money for churches, charity organizations, orphanages, widows, destitute, the downtrodden, physically challenged children, barren women, and other people that are in need. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money. Moreover, my husband's relatives have plundered so much of my money since my illness, and it had been their wish to see me dead in order to inherit his wealth since we have no child.
Starting point is 00:26:18 These people are not worthy of this inheritance. This is why I made this decision. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my ill health. and that's good because I was ready to pick up the phone. As soon as I receive your reply, I will give you the contact of the bank here in Ivory Coast, where this money is deposited. I will also issue a letter of authorization to the bank
Starting point is 00:26:45 that will prove you the present beneficiary of this money. I also want you to always put me in prayer. If you're interested in receiving this money to help the poor and widows, kindly reply back, for more details. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. I hope to receive your response soon.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Thanks and remain blessed with your family, sincerely yours, Mrs. Rita Lone. So I am going to be helping people with $6.5 million in United States-American dollars. And that's thanks to Ms. Reed alone. So I'm going to have to take a salary. I mean, sure. I want to help barren women and the downtrodden and the destitute. I want to help those people.
Starting point is 00:27:42 And I will. But I can't do that without a salary. And I'm going to have to take that salary from the $6.5 million. We'll see what happens. I replied and I will see what goes on. No, I want to want to be clear. I did not reply. to Mrs. Read Alone.
Starting point is 00:27:59 And I don't plan on replying to Mrs. Read Alone. But if you get an email from Read Alone. I love how it's read alone. Get it? Read alone.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Anyway, I just, I have an opportunity and it's just a new way to scam people. Do I want $6.5 million? You betcha. Do I want to help the downtrod, barren women, the physically challenged children, the destitute? You bet you I do. Do I want to help it with read alone?
Starting point is 00:28:41 Not so much. I got another email this weekend in front to the same account, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. This one I like a lot better than readalones. This email says, Jeffie, Jeffie, Jeffie. I was wasting time looking at nonsense online. I came across a story about Prince Harry and What's Her Face. I already am reading the rest of this email. If you started off with Prince Harry and What's Her Face, I'm in.
Starting point is 00:29:11 There is a picture of them in New York speaking at some stupid conference about climate change or something like that. Yeah, and that's what I mean, they showed up at the big event a couple weekends ago. Just Harry and Meg, you know, What's her face? And they were there and, you know, it's all about climate change. That's what that whole event was. And it dawned on me, they look like they think they are royalty. Yes, they do. Don't they?
Starting point is 00:29:36 Yes, it is funny that that still is the way that they carry themselves. They are traveling about, this is back to the email, they are traveling about and leaving their children across the country, constantly photographed and interviewed like royalty. But wait. are these not the same people who were exhausted by traveling to events when they were royalty in England? Didn't the lack of privacy cause Megan so much stress that she thought of suicide? I read today that Harry was written out of his grandfather's $600 million will.
Starting point is 00:30:16 I hope the change of venue was worth it. Well, yes, Helen, it was worth it. Thanks for emailing chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I just read a story from the Wall Street Journal that talks about Prince Harry and what's her face? Of course, they call her Megan, hustle to become royalty in Hollywood. I mean, that's the entire article. So, yes, they still want to be treated like royalty. And I realize that the stress of being part of the machine that is the royal family is so difficult.
Starting point is 00:30:59 But they're hanging in there now back in the States and here in Hollywood. So you're right to be concerned about them, but I think they'll be okay. So I see where Paris Hilton back in the news has now brought together her global business and brand, and under one umbrella. Her new company, 1111 Media. She wants to be able to cement and expand her brands. I mean, she is brand royalty, right? I mean, she's considered one of the first modern celebutants.
Starting point is 00:31:55 I mean, hello, Kim Kardashian and the Kardashian-Holt family. That was Paris. It kicked off that quintessential socialite life. You know, Dad, one of the, a really great book, I can't remember the name of it, but it is about Conrad Hilton, her great grandfather, a great book on how he got started and how he became, you know, Hilton. And really fascinating. But Paris, you know, of course, I mean, she's the one, right?
Starting point is 00:32:27 She started it all for the Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and TikTok. All of that. I mean, it was Paris Hilton and her, the reality show The Simple Life. Uh, yeah, that was the one, baby. So now she has 11-11 media, which is going to cement her brand and everything under one thing. You know, speaking of, uh, social media,
Starting point is 00:32:50 I saw where, uh, nearly two-thirds of Americans who use platforms believe life was better without them. Huh. 42% of Gen Z addicted. can't stop if they tried according to this. Depressed, angry, alone are most common words Gen Zers associate after checking Facebook, missing out alone and are tied with
Starting point is 00:33:18 informed as three words that Gen Z most associate with the feelings after checking Instagram. Really? Missing out alone and informed. Weird. Social media users recognize that it has a net negative effect on politics, the media, the country, and how we think of ourselves. About one in three gens ears say the Instagram negatively impacts their body image about twice as likely as everyone else. 80% believe there should be some penalty for Zuckerberg slash others who were aware of the info whistleblower disclosed but refused to do anything.
Starting point is 00:34:03 about it. Okay, well, this is all from a study done by this John Delavolp. I see that it was new polling that was conducted and shared with the Morning Joe team. So nobody saw it. More people are hearing about it here than heard about it on Morning Joe. But then I see a story that talks about scientists saying that there are almost 50, almost 50, there are 46, social media sites causing harmful effects. Wow. So harmful effects are linked to the use of social media sites. Okay. So what are the 46 harmful effects of social media? Let's see. Panic, irritation, stress, depression, depression, guilt, jealousy, loneliness, flaming behaviors. Sure what that is.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Anxiety, self-dissatisfaction, distraction addition, deterioration of mood, reduced self-esteem confidence, addiction to use of social media, information overload, wasting time, wasting energy, wasting money, work overload, increased appetite for taking financial risk, inappropriate posts, poor content, dumb jokes. Being exposed to sexual images or messages. Yeah, I hate those. Offensive content. Lack of privacy. Privacy violation.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Lack of online safety. Unsolicited communications. Publicizing private information. You don't have to worry about publicizing private information, by the way, because it's already out there. I mean, we've been hacked by the hackers and the hackers have been hacked by the hackers. So your information is out there. Misrepresentation. Deception.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Misuse of information. impersonation. Yeah, I hate that. Stealing personal data. Cyberstalking behavior. Malicious software. Social engineering. Fishing risks.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Feeling of being abused. Being harassed. Conflict with others. Incitement to suicide. Delinquency. Low academic performance. And low job performance. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:27 The stuff. the team reviewed more than 50 research articles published between 2003 and 2018. Okay. Also among the 46 harmful effects of social media were found to be privacy violation, deception, panic, conflict, and others and increased appetite. Yeah, we covered, we covered the 46 that you listed. I don't need you to tell me some more.
