Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Oh, no. Oh, no. The fitness tracker company Fitbit is recalling more than 1.7 million of its smart watches. They do to a little technical problem.

It's just the onic line of smart watches. I think it's onic, I-O-N-I-C line of smart watches. I do not have a Fitbit, and thankfully I don't have a Fitbit now because, yeah, according to Fitbit, there were a couple of reports that batteries were overheating and burning people. A couple? Yeah, well, we received at least 115 reports in the U.S., and there were 59 reports internationally of the battery, just overheating. sure you know more than half of those reports had burn injuries in the u.s third and second degree burns and 40 reports of burn injuries internationally so be careful if you have a fitbit if you are you know

i was almost going to get one i was so close to getting one and then i'm glad i didn't now uh so if you uh have a fit bit go ahead and you know turn it in and exchange it for a refund or get a new Fitbit because the company said other product lines are safe. So, man, if you haven't been burned yet, be careful out there. There isn't enough to worry about in the world today. Now I have to worry about getting burned from my Fitbit. Are we calling them burn bits now? No, that would be wrong.

Z stacklife.com slash jeffy. Boy, the United Nations are busy little beavers, aren't they? I mean, the other day we talked about the climate change study resolution that they came out with saying it was a closing wind. of opportunity. And so, you know, if, if we don't do something right now, it's, you know, the window will be closed.

Well, yesterday, uh, which is, you know, the second of March 2020 today, if you're listening live is the third of March. Uh, they, 175 nations, 175 nations agreed to create the world's first plastic Pollution Treaty. Yay! So the goal is to improve recycling, clean up the world's plastic waste, and restrict plastics production. Oh, okay. Now, I know many of you are thinking, well, it's about time.

Billions of pounds of plastic waste every year on the earth. And it hurts humans and animals and everything. And the UN official, of course, called it an epidemic, but said the resolution puts us on track for a cure. Isn't that interesting how this resolution put them on track or us, I'm sorry, on a track for a cure? And with the climate change, we have a closing window of opportunity. So we're almost at the end. But if we do something right now, if we actually now we can you know we can make sure that the end doesn't happen

so look it only affects I don't know you know plastic production what's that chemical and oil companies don't worry about it though those are only jobs and they belong to the evil petro technology companies which we hate

who are the biggest what is it US and China probably the biggest plastic producing country in the world. And I'm guessing that the U.S. does a pretty darn good job of recycling and picking up. And of course, I know there's, you know, pollution, but nobody wants the lake full of plastic. Nobody. I'm sorry, we just don't.

But let's focus on the other countries there on your United Nations Treaty. All right. And I hope the United States says, yeah, that's great. You guys go ahead. We're right behind you. Okay. Now, it's not going to happen, but, you know, I could, one can dream. Boy, and speaking of dreaming, I got another email from the London branch of ING Bank.

I know. I was, whoa. It's, uh, it's from the Office of Donation International Operation in London, UK. Now, one person who was the personal accountant to late Sir Gerald Arthur, Jerry, with a G. Went, W-H-E-N-T, founder and former chief executive of Vodafone Group PLC, that's a purpose-led company, by the way. The late Sir Gerald Arthur went, a well-known philanthropist before he died, made a will in a long. in a law firm in the United Kingdom stating that Vodafone Group, PLC,

the charity fundraising support account, with ING Bank NVLondon, should donate $6.5 million to any lucky individual philanthropist or charitable organization overseas. Ah, right? Okay. So the ING Bank, NV London,

is an agreement with late Sir Gerald Arthur, Jerry, went to donate the fund to any lucky individual in America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, and other to help improve lives and businesses. I'm just reading the way it's written, all right? I'm pretty sure it's in order to help, but they put in other.

So in other to help improve lives and businesses. You'd think something so big and, you know, worthwhile would make sure that they use spellcheck. We have made out of it. a random draw, and your email address was picked to receive this fund as the beneficiary of his will. Nice. All I have to do is get back to him as soon as I receive it now. I have receipt of this email.

I'm reading it to you. And then they're going to enable the transfer operation direct to me on what next to do to receive this fund legally. Huh? How cool is that? Now, you know, it's only 6.5 million, but the good I can do with the 6.5 million is really huge. Now, all I have to do is reply with my full name and my contact address and telephone numbers and fax numbers. I don't know that I actually have a fax number anymore. I think I do.

And the chief financial officer of Ing, I, G, Bank and V, London branch, Mr. Teneate Sutrical. Yeah, he's the, or she. Oh, no, it says Mr. Mr. Teney Futtericle is the chief financial officer. So once I get a hold of... Tenate Futtrical.

I'm going to figure out how to get that $6.5 million. So I'll let you know. I'll let you know when it comes through. Oh, man, I wish that were true. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Desperately. I got an email complaining that I don't talk about what beverage I'm drinking anymore going into the break room.

Well, let's cover that again, shall we? I always used to do that. And then I realized that these companies aren't providing me any kind of benefit. They're not giving me sodas. They're not giving me money to promote their product. so I'm giving them a show promotion with nothing in return

but I'll just say this is a Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and it is good it is very good I'm going to take another sip and it's very difficult for me to do a show without my Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and my bottle of purified water from Sam's Club so there

you're happy now Did you see the Serena Williams story where, you know, she called out the New York Times? They did a story on her. And I don't even know where it was in the Times. Unfortunately, I don't read the New York Times. I mean, she has a picture on her Twitter account of the actual newspaper. Wow. Welcome to the 2022, Serena.

But she, in the story, they are talking about her Serena adventures, which raised a hundred, 111 million. And it's, you know, but they showed a picture of Venus. It says Serena Williams. I don't know the picture, but it's Venus. And so she calls out the New York Times. No matter how far we come, we get reminded that it's not enough. This is why I raised 111 million for at Serena Adventures to support the founders who are overlooked by ingrained systems,

woefully unaware of their biases because even I am overlooked. You can do better at New York Times. Yeah, you know, she's obviously trying to, you know, throw that in there that, you know, hey, the old biases and the old, you know, racist, everybody looks the same. You can't tell them apart. So it couldn't be just an honest mistake.

Now, I will say, yes, the New York Times absolutely needs to be called out for that. it's really agonizing but I'm gonna get and I shouldn't do this at all they would not never mind I was gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and say it was just a mistake

and you know it's you know it wasn't anything to do with you know the racial biases any of that but you know what they would give anybody the benefit of the doubt so no New York Times you're a bunch of racist doofuses

and that's what you get okay so silly I mean news shows and newspapers and magazines you know you do your very best not to make those mistakes

but we see it all the time I mean we made the joke the other day on the air of the news program where the guy throws up the picture of Joe Biden when the story is about some racist or some child pedophile and you know it was a mistake it had anything to do with race

or you know their biases it was just a Just an honest mistake. My gosh, I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm sorry. Speaking of biases, though, I do have a bias, and I'm going to go out on as just me. And I'm only speaking for myself, okay? I don't like it when women have armpit hair and leg hair and hair, except for hair on their head.

And then I'm even, you can even take that off if you want. Go ahead. But I am not a fan of the arm hair or the leg hair. And I know that, you know, that's kind of a thing now. I just saw a big story about, you know, a TikTok star model who claims that she's lost gigs, modeling gigs, you know, because of her body hair. Oh, you think? So she said that, you know, her agent is still getting her gigs as much as they can.

But, of course, you know, body hair is not the industry standard. You think? That's because, you know, the people buying stuff don't necessarily like it. But I guess, you know, it's all good that we're coming off the big two-year pandemic and everybody gave up their razors and their hair dye. They all want to have, you know, hashtag body hair is natural. Okay. And there was some big U-Gov study that said 35% of Americans have no preference if women shave or not.

That's just people being nice. Yeah, I don't care what they do. But really, you do. 7% said they should not shave. That, I believe. 7% absolutely said nobody should shave. And between the ages of 18 and 35, the respondents said, that's not a big deal. arm pet hair is either attractive or I don't care if a woman has it.

I do. I do care. Okay? That's just me. I'm going to go out on the ledge and say, no, I don't like it. I know it's my bias. I get it. I just, I, you know, I can't explain it.

I just know, guys, guys have arm hair. I know. I know they do. I know they do. And some don't. But, you know, I just, if I'm looking at a female and I want to see if that female is a attractive to me, I would prefer more than not that there's no armpit hair. Okay?

Leg hair. Do thank you. Other hair. E, questionable. Whoever hair grows, questionable. Okay? I know that's just me. I get it.

But, you know, you want to be a TikTok star with arm hair and leg hair? You go right ahead. I mean, I know TikTok is making big change. changes, big news. We talked about they're going to the 10-minute videos now instead of the three minutes and how you get paid doing your lives, but they just updated their community guidelines. Okay? Yeah.

All right. And they are going to be enforce these new community guidelines that label any mistrust of governments, elections, or scientific bodies as misinformation. Isn't that special? I wonder who owns TikTok. Oh, that's right. It's the Chinese company. So the guidelines are going to take effect the end of this week, as a matter of fact, March 7th, 2022.

And they're going to, they say that TikTok, look, we're welcoming, entertaining creators and viewers alike. But integrity and authenticity is important to us. We believe that trust forms the foundation of our community. do you? We do not allow activities that may undermine the integrity of our platform or authenticity of our users. We remove content or accounts that involve spam or fake engagement, impersonation, or misleading information that causes significant harm. Under a harmful misinformation guideline, misinformation is defined as content that is inaccurate or false. We will remove misinformation that causes significant harm to individuals, our community, or the larger public, regardless of

intent. Significant harm includes serious physical injury, illness or death, severe psychological trauma, large-scale property damage, and the undermining of public trust in civic institutions and processes such as government's elections and scientific bodies. This does not include simply inaccurate information, myths, or commercial or reputational harm. Wait, what? This does not include simply inaccurate information, myths, or commercial or reputational harm. All right. So there you go, TikTok users. I don't have my TikTok account yet.

And I say yet because maybe I will at some point in my life. But for right now, no thank you. You'll have to look at the models with arm hair on your own. Okay. All right.

All right, tomorrow's the day.

I already said today is the third Thursday. Well, no, it's the third of March. It is a Thursday. Tomorrow is the fourth of March, which is the day that we're supposed to get the rocket. blasting into the moon. So March 4th, at 122558, universal time, we're supposed to get that four-ton rocket smashed into the dark side of the moon, officially known as 2015-007B. And it just rolls right off the tongue.

And it's supposed to hit the moon's surface at about 5,700 miles per hour. I have asked for. I haven't demanded, but I feel like I should. I want footage. I don't want to hear it's on the dark side of the moon. We've had plenty of time. Elon's had plenty of time.

He's sent Starlings to Ukraine. We've had plenty of time to adjust some cameras so that we can get the shot of this thing hitting the moon. So let's make that happen. I want to see the footage. Thank you. Tomorrow is the. day. Oh, and did you see where

the closest black hole to the earth? That's not really a black hole now. Wait, what? Yeah, they thought they'd found the earth's nearest black hole. But, uh, you know, after further analysis, not really. Uh, it's a vampire. A vampire star system is what they're calling it. Oh. Okay. You mean it's, you know, it's part of a cosmic puzzle?

Yeah, that's exactly what. what it is. So after they, you know, been looking at it, they've been studying it. They've been hypothesizing. And apparently it's a triple system. The HR 6819 is actually a triple system containing two stars and a black hole. So, okay. You know, I guess the science does change from time to time, doesn't it?

Yes. Yes, it does. And I don't think we've decided who the rocket that's going to smash into the moon belongs to. They blamed it on Elon Musk. And then they said, no, it's China. And China said, no, it's not us. It's not us. Ours burned up. That doesn't belong to us.

So I guess we're back to blaming Elon again for that. So again, it doesn't matter. And I already said before, you know what, it's mine. I'll take ownership of it. It was mine. And that's what's going to hit the moon. So I'm sorry. All right.

I hadn't planned on it smashing into the moon. At least it didn't smash into the space station. I know we have the international space station, which is going to be deorbited. That's going to be hurling toward the earth. According to reports, and I'm sure it could possibly change, that it's supposed to, you know, 2031. It's going to hit the earth. But it should be fine.

Don't worry about it. It's probably going to land in the South Pacific. So, let's put your worry in. Okay? It's going to land into the oceanic pole of inaccessibility. That's the South Pacific uninhabited area. So apparently that's the graveyard for old space equipment. And that's where the, you know, the deorbited satellite.

and rocket debris go to the oceanic pole of in it's in i gotta say it right now the oceanic pole of inaccessibility or the south pacific un inhabited area i like the oceanic pole of inaccessibility better i think you could you can write your own jokes with that as well so did you see where they're looking to you know bring back the Tasmanian tiger. I know. I said the other day that, you know, I do want to have a Jurassic Park to go to,

but after I said it, then I got to thinking, maybe I don't. I mean, we've all seen the documentaries, and we have the final installment of the Jurassic Park documentary coming out soon, and it doesn't end well. And it just doesn't seem to ever end well for humans. But I guess this new multi-million,

Philanthropic donation to the Melbourne University. They've announced that they want to bring back the famed to Tasmanian Tiger. So, okay, they've got a state of the art lab, and it's going to potentially

bring back this species from extinction. So it's a nine-step process. And within the project plans to focus on three key areas. First, they hope to fully decode the thylacine genome, then use that information to transform marsupial stem cells into a Tasmanian tiger

embryo and ultimately insert that material into a surrogate uterus. Oh. And then, you know, maybe like the Tasmanian devil. And then we'll create the Tasmanian tiger. So we got that going for us. Right? It came about after philanthropist Russell. Wilson of the Wilson Family Trust stumbled upon some YouTube clips.

That's good. I hope he stumbles across some YouTube clips on chewing the fat and decides, you know what? Here's $5 million toward chewing the fat. I know that he wants to, you know, it's conservation benefit for marsupials. I get it. But we already, I think they're back, right? We had the video on YouTube, which I'm. sure he probably saw where a motorist was cruising down the street in Australia and they came upon an animal that they were claiming on the video was the Tasmanian tiger.

Maybe they're not extinct. There's one right there. And then they keep video on it. It's along the side of the road. And they see the creature along the side of the road. And then the guy on the video says, oh, my gosh, that's an extinct Tassie Tiger. and maybe it is. Maybe we don't need, maybe we've got one that we can already use.

I know. Now they claim that, yo, it probably is not a Tasmanian tiger. What? Yeah, it's probably just a sick fox. So maybe we need to, you know, go ahead and go back to that research and make sure we create one

from the nine-step process. And we may have to get a whole new process for dinosaurs. I see where a new study has claimed that fossils of Tyrannosaurus wrecks represent not one but three separate species. Okay, so the new names mean king, queen, and emperor. I know it's 66 million years ago, but a lot of the other paleontologists are like, Oh, that's a quote.

Let's go to the paleontologists and see what they think about the new theory that the Tyrannosaurus rex represent not one but three separate species. I don't know. So a new study published in the journal Evolutionary Biology, which, oh my gosh, I cannot get enough of the journal Evolutionary Biology. It's proposed splitting Tyrannosaurus Rex into three different species. based on differences in their leg bones and their teeth. So if it was the T-R-R-R-X and the T-R-R-Gena, and they evolved out of the T-M-P-A-R-E-M-P-R-T, right, T-P-E-R-A, T-P-E-R, with the two former species

potentially living side-by-side. And so if the theory gains acceptance, it's going to require all the specimens around the world to be reinvestigated. So we'll see if the Oranosaurus Rex is not one but three separate

species. And maybe that's the problem with trying to recreate Jurassic Park is that we're making them, that's why they're so mean to us. Is that, you know, we're putting three into one instead of breaking it up a little bit. I know.

I know. We're finding stuff all the time. I thought, oh my gosh, I can't. Like archaeologists have just discovered a 40,000-year-old culture in China. Right. I know. So the new study in nature by an international team of researchers opens up a window into hunter-gatherer lifestyles 40,000 years ago. So it shows the presence of innovative behaviors and unique. toolkits and they've always they've known you know when did populations of

homo sapiens first arrive in China what happened when they encountered you know the other people that lived there what happened well they survived that's what happened well at least for a while anyway I mean they've found some really cool stuff at this site that dates back quite some time and it talks about you know how they evolved and they the economic and social and symbolic adaptations, kind of really cool. And a long time ago,

and we're finding out that, you know, just how long ago we were wandering the earth and taking care of, we're here now, you get out. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

are going to be banned from the Winter Paralympics, according to the International Paralympics Committee. I mean, we have the Paralympics starting tomorrow in Beijing. So there's that. I know that China is denying that they asked Russia to delay the invasion of Ukraine until after the Olympics. But that's why I thought that they wouldn't go because, and I thought they were going to wait even until after the Paralympics. but no, the Paralympics, I apparently don't count. They don't count.

The Regs are Olympics, they count, but the Paralympics, yeah, no, you don't count. They do count for China, though, because that's when I said that China was going to go into Taiwan. They were going to have to wait until the Paralympics were done, right? So once the Paralympics are done, the 13th of this month, those are done. So look for China to be preparing to go into Taiwan. post-paralympics. You can quote me on that because I believe that will actually happen. Now, did China ask Russia not to invade Ukraine?

That's possible. I mean, they were sneaking information to Russia over the whole thing anyway. So, you know, you say, I say, I say, you say. It's possible. There's no doubt about that. You know, I know that we're after the big oligarchs now. So we're going to get the... those damn oligarchs.

Now, you know, oligarchs, man. Are they, poof, man. Do you want to be an oligarch? I think I do. I think I do want to be an oligarch. I know that, you know, I'm going to have a lot of money. I'm going to wield political influence on society. You know, I'm kind of for it.

I mean, we didn't even really start hearing about oligarch. and oligarchs till after the collapse of the Soviet Union back in the 90s, right? So they started to privatize, you know, all these assets in Russia and, you know, turned into mob rule kind of. I'm sorry, oligarchy rule. Okay, all right. So I see that one of the big oligarchs, Roman Abramovich, confirmed that he's going to sell his Chelsea football club. That's soccer for those in the know. he's owned it since 2003

and he said the Western pressure is forcing Russia oligarchs to part with their prized assets okay he said he's going to sell the team and the benefits are going to go to the victims of the war in

Ukraine now that makes it seem like he wants to help Ukraine but who are the victims of the war in Ukraine are those the Russians I don't know it better not be he's getting like two and a half billion for the Chelsea Football Club so all right good luck I mean the guys made a lot of money

he's worth some cash and he's denied a relationship with Vladimir Putin I know that we've I think Germany I don't know that it was us but you know we're all together now right we're as one it's the new world order everything happens fast it's a little scary actually that these countries are all getting together and you know going after one thing if you think they can't shut you down. Think again, because they will. So they were talking about how they took the one billionaires' mega yacht already at the port in Hamburg. Germany said, yeah, no, it's ours now. We're taking that. It's not yours. Oh, okay. No problem. And so it's just, you know, insane what's

happening around the world. Now, I also see, you think about this now. You've got China possibly going into Taiwan. You have Russia going into Ukraine, which, I mean, that is just ugly and it's going to, you know, going to get us involved because of NATO. Most likely, I hope it doesn't. You have North Korea pretending that they can take care of business. And you have, there's reports now that we're looking to sign a new deal with Iran. Do you think a new new deal? Do you think a new New Deal? You deal with Iran? Israel is not going to go for that, my friends. I don't care what

you say. That's not going to happen. They have already said, no, Iran will not get nukes. We will not allow that. I mean, Iran has already said, I don't know, almost probably every day of the existence

of Iran, that Israel must be wiped off the face of the earth. And so if we're going to go, get back in business with Iran and the nuclear deal. Israel cannot have that. They just can't. They just can't.

And so I don't know what this administration is thinking about. But, you know, like I said, you have China, possibly going into Taiwan. You have North Korea over there in the same neck of the woods, you know, thinking there, Mr. Big Shot shooting off some rockets every now and then. You have, which I think, I hope China has. human check but we'll see Kim might say no you don't and then we have

you come back across the globe spin the globe just a little bit oh there's Iran and Israel is looking to attack Iran because there's no way that they can allow Iran to have nukes you just can't and I don't care how many billions we give Iran and if we do give Iran more money and just to get up to this deal

they should run this administration out of office but that's just me it's not going to happen, but it's just me talking off the top of my head. And then let's spin the globe just a little bit. Oh, my gosh, here we are in Europe, and we've got Russia going into Ukraine. So good times around the globe are definitely happening. It makes you feel happy, doesn't it? Yes, it does.

And, you know, we're all getting along here. We spin the globe just a little bit, and oh, here we are in the western hemisphere. Oh, my gosh, we had Canada locking down. We got the U.S. on fire. But, hey, the United Nations is taking care of plastics with their resolution. So there's a closing window of opportunity on climate change and plastics that the U.N. is going to make sure that we're okay. And then I see the picture that was making the rounds that many of you sent to me, either on Twitter or email, about the guy that was riding his bike in Kiev or Kiev, just keeping his normal routine and went for a bike ride surrounded by tank.

And I saw the pictures and I thought, yeah, okay, right, whatever. But there was a comment that someone sent to me on the story from CNN's website. And it's a, you know, it has the picture of the guy. In Kiev, a guy just kept his normal routine and went for a bike ride surrounded by tanks. And there's a comment from caffeine sniffer. caffeine sniffer, you and I could be friends. Cyclists think they own the road

even in an effing war. Amen. Amen. He's in the bike lane and the tanks better move. Otherwise, they're going to get a ticket. Yes, caffeine sniffer, you are 100% right. I don't know who you are, but I love you.

I'm going to end with well it's kind of a joke but it's an actual think about it segment today but first I want to talk about Ron DeSantis telling students Ron DeSantis the governor of Florida I love the state of Florida

one of my favorite states in the country he well you know we had the big video of him telling students that they could take their masks off so the COVID theater and then we had the story of the mom getting pissed

that the governor was having her son take the mask off. I want to kind of back up a little bit on this mask thing, okay? I think the mask thing is dumb, all right? I think it's been proven that it really doesn't do what it was. We were told that they would do, all right? Ever, really. But the point that was always made, at least for me,

was that if you want to wear a mask, wear a mask. And so the governor has fought so that the mandates would not be. be there, right? And so many people have fought that the mandates would not be there. So all the anti-mask people need to calm down because you're just as bad as the anti-non-maskers, right? You know, the dinkleberries that want to make you wear masks, the Karens, you're turning into them. So the point was is that don't make us wear a mask. So if you want to wear a mask, wear a mask. Who cares?

It doesn't matter. I don't care. Honestly, I don't care if you wear a mask. If it makes you feel better and you think it helps you good for you, wear your mask. Just don't tell me that I have to wear a mask. And that's where I'm at. And I think even Governor DeSantis needs to rethink that a little bit too. Just saying, you know, I feel like he,

was a little over the top with this, and it got him coverage, which he wanted, and so that's good. But I think we need to, you know, back off the... Take your mask off! Because I find myself doing that. I see people doing reports on TV with their masks on, and it drives me insane,

and it's driven me insane through the entire pandemic. I just can't take it. But I really think that now, when we're dropping the mandates, and, you know, many places are saying that, you know, it's not mandated to wear a mask. Okay, fine. But if you want to wear a mask, go ahead.

I don't think we need to, you know, oh, you're still wearing a mask, idiot. Why don't you take it off? I don't think we need to do that. I think that just puts us in us as the anti-maskers in a bad place. And it's just a thought for me. That's all. It's just a thought next time you're out and about and you see somebody with the mask and you say to yourself, what an idiot.

Why are you wearing your mask, idiot? it, don't do that. You can think it. Just don't say it. Just remember that if they want to wear their mask, they can wear their stupid mask. Okay. So I had this sentiment as actually my think about it segment of the day. Lady and a man are talking, lady, do you drink beer? Man, yes. Lady, how many per day? Man, three. Lady, how much do you pay per beer? Man, $5 each including tip. Lady, how long have you been drinking? Man, about 20 years.

Lady, three beers a day equates to $450 per month, $5,400 per year, 20 years, that's $108,000. Man, that sounds about right. Lady, did you know that if you put that money into a savings account that after interest, you would have had enough money to buy a plane? Man, do you drink beer? lady, no, man, where's your effing plane? Think about it.
