Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Possibly one of my favorite stories over the weekend was a South Carolina couple. were out on their pontoon on Lake Kiowe, K-E-O-W-E-E.

I'm guessing that's the correct pronunciation. Kio-E, no, not Lake Amorpha-Falas. And so they're out on their pontoon enjoying their day. When they see a couple that were on a jet ski, crash off the jet ski. And they're in distress. So they pulled the pontoon over and rescued the couple. The jet ski is still doing circles in the lake.

So the guy who had been rescued becomes agitated and becomes assaulting the couple on the pontoon that just rescued them. I've guessed, we don't know this, but we're guessing that he was upset because he wanted to go back and get the jet ski. The rescued woman tried to de-escalate the situation by putting. the agitated man, the guy that she was with, back into the water. And so then they helped him back onto the pontoon again. Now, the guy gets all wound up again and starts assaulting the couple that rescued them again. The guy on the pontoon boat shoots him. And I mean, the second time around, the guy starts coming at you,

that's when you're going to have to face the... And sadly, he died from that gunshot. Now, we know that the prosecutor's office has said, no, we are not going to prosecute this man. The shooting was done in self-defense. But you're out on a pontoon, thinking you're going to have a beautiful day out on the old lake, on Lake Kiwi.

And you think, oh, there's somebody that needs to be rescued, and the next thing you know, you're having to pull out your gun and one shot puts the man down. Very sad that he had to do that. But man, does that suck when you think you're going to have a good day out on the old pontoon? But it also proves that, you know, it's good sometimes to have a weapon with you. Just for emergencies. Welcome.

Welcome to chewing the fat. And as long as we're in South Carolina, we might as well talk about what is good, that this guy is not going to be prosecuted because, you know, South Carolina has the death penalty. And they also informed the South Carolina Department of Corrections has informed the state attorney general that, hey, we are, we're able to carry out execution by firing squad now. We're good to go. Oh, okay. So they had to make all kinds of changes or, you know, accommodations for the specific death penalty choice that's required under law in South Carolina. They said that the state's primary means of execution while giving inmates the option of choosing death by firing squad or lethal injection if those methods are available. And I know we talked about this when it became law, but now they are ready to go.

The death chamber has been renovated to accommodate a firing squad. The chamber now includes a chair in which inmates will sit if they choose execution by firing squad. The chair is in a corner of the room away from the current electric chair, which I guess you can't move the electric chair. Bullet resistant glass has been installed between the witness room and the death chamber. The firing squad chair is metal with restraints and is surrounded by protective equipment. the chair faces a wall with a rectangular opening 15 feet away. Oh, man. You know, that does not sound good.

I know, whatever. You know, the death penalty thing, you can argue both sides of that. I still am for it. These people are really, really bad people. And we've gone over that on this show before. So how does it happen? Three firing squad members will be behind the wall. with rifles facing the inmate through the opening.

The rifles and open portal will not be visible from the witness room. All three rifles will be loaded with live ammunition. The witnesses will see the right side profile of the inmate. The inmate will not face the witness room directly. The electric chair faces the witnesses directly. The inmate will wear a prison issued uniform and be escrowed, into the chamber. The inmate will be given the opportunity to make the last statement. The inmate will be strapped into the chair and a hood will be placed over his head. A small aim point

will be placed over his heart by a member of the execution team. That's special. After the warden reads the execution order, the team will fire. After the shots, a doctor will examine the inmate. After the inmate is declared dead, the curtain will be drawn and witnesses escorted out. members of the firing squad are volunteer from the South Carolina Department of Corrections employees. They must meet certain qualifications. I'm not sure what those qualifications are. Can you aim a rifle? Yeah.

You think you could point it at that little star there? Yeah, okay, you're good. The department spent about $53,600 on supplies and materials to make these changes as they wanted to comply with the law and add safety precautions. cautions. The construction and design work were done in-house. So, I guess the South Carolina Department of Corrections employees

either did it for a little overtime or they had the prisoners build their own chair to sit in if they were on death row. There you have it. The firing squad is ready to go in South Carolina. I don't know what choice you'd take. But I mean,

If you're okay with, if you're on death row and you're asked, hey, we'd like to go ahead and give you a lethal injection, but we're a little low on the drugs right now. How about you take firing squad? Oh, sure, why not? Just sit me in the corner and get it over with. And I like how, you know, remember we used to think about the firing squad members would have their rifles loaded, and one of them would be the death bullet, and the others would be. blanks.

So you would just think that, you know, you didn't have to be the one you could walk out of there thinking, well, I fired a blank. But no, not in South Carolina. You're all loaded with working ammunition. Okay? And that's the way it goes. Okay.

Thank you. Good luck. God bless. You shouldn't have done what you did. I guess they fire at the same time. I don't know if we get the, the, you know, three, two, one fire. Or you just kind of shoot when you want, so you're going to end up getting...

Yeah, I don't think we're going to get the three shots like that. It's going to be one shot at the same time, fired at the same time. All right, so that's enough of the gunshots. Happy Monday, for those of you listening live, on the 21st of March 2020. What is happening with personal care products? So I find out that Juergens' ultra-healing moisturizer has been recalled. Wait, what?

Yeah, FDA says stop immediately because of potential bacterial contamination. Oh, okay. So if you use the moisture. moisturizer and in particular the Juergens ultra healing moistureizer as being recalled and stopped using it right now. Why? Well, it's, of course, it's a voluntary recall. Of course it is. I mean, Juergens' ultra healing moisturizer is going to, you know, recall involuntarily due to potential bacterial contamination.

It doesn't sound like a good thing. That's something that you rub all over your arms and legs and other whatever body parts you put Jergens Ultra Healing, moisturize your cream on. Now they claim that the bacteria poses little medical risk to healthy people. Uh-huh. But it could cause infections in people with health problems, including weakened immune. systems. The bacteria has been associated with recalls before. Oh, okay. Oh, that's right, the body wash recall. Yeah. So, you know, just if you have Juergens Ultra Healing Moisturizer, it has been

recalled in the three ounce and 10 ounce size. And so I'd be careful. And if you are concerned about any other different sizes of the old Juergens ultra-moister, ultra-healing moisturizer. You know, go ahead and turn it back in. I'm sure they'll be happy to assist. I don't know. And now we're back to also being told that the benzene, the chemical benzene, the carcinogenic chemical benzene, is found in all of these other personal care products.

What is happening? So, I mean, several brands are getting recalled from this. I do not like this at all. Hand sanitizers, sunscreens, deodorant, dry shampoos, conditioners, antiperspirants, deodorants, body sprays, antifungal treatments. I mean, if this is, if the benzene has been detected in these, you know, products, what is happening? What is going on? I might have to go to goat soap. My goat guy in Florida.

I might have to go to goat soap. What was his website again? Yeah. QP Goatsoap.com. My man, Quinn Pittman, and his goat milk products. We may have to go there. I mean, Procter & Gamble, Bear, CvS, Johnson and Johnson have all issued voluntary recalls for brute, sure,

pantine, herbal essences, old spice, secret, tenactin, Lotraman, copper tone neutrodina and avino among the recalled hand sanitizer brands are art natural's best brands and natural wonders this is

because of decades of research that has found no safe levels of benzene exposure because it's so toxic at very low levels now the petroleum based chemical causes cancer that's not good

I don't like that the toxin has also been shown to harm the central nervous system and reproductive organs. That's why it was banned as an ingredient some 45 years ago. And so we're not quite sure why it's in these products, but how about we not do it? I know that the FDA is monitoring the situation and is going to work with the companies to recall the contaminated products. they don't really know like I said how it's getting into the products

oh okay they're saying that the companies don't add it into their formulas really and so the FDA is like well it's probably some thickening agent that's contaminating so it's in something else that goes into the product

you think thank you we appreciate your help I mean holy cow I can't even use my personal home care products anymore. I am going to go to Quinn Pittman, goat milk products at QPgoatsoap.com. This is not an ad either, although it should be.

QP.goatsoap.com. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. I see where the Batman is still dominating the box office, according to all headlines. Still number one for the third week running. Surpassed $300 million in the North American ticket sales. That's, you know, the only second movie of the pandemic era to hit that number.

I saw a promo for this movie when we went to see Batman last week, and I couldn't get over. I was like, this is the same thing. Hollywood just does not have any new ideas. So they're hoping that maybe. The Lost City with Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum could dethrone the Batman next weekend. But as I'm watching the promo for The Lost City, all I'm seeing is Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito in romancing the Stone back in the 80s and then they did the Jewel of

the Nile after that. And I thought, that's almost the same thing. So let's see what the IMDB description of The Lost City. 2022, PG-13, one hour and 52 minutes, with Sandra Bullock, Brad Pitt, and Channing Tatum. A reclusive romance novelist on a book tour with her cover model gets swept up in a kidnapping attempt that lands them both in a cutthroat jungle adventure. Huh, let's see what romancing The Stone, 1984. Talks about it with Michael Douglas. Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito.

Huh. A mousy romance novelist sets off for Columbia to ransom her kidnapped sister and soon finds herself in the middle of a dangerous adventure hunting for treasure with a mercenary rogue.

Huh. Everything old is due again. And I loved romancing the stone, so maybe Lost City will, you know, be fun. It looked like there was some good be some good scenes. But, I mean, romancing the stone.

Hello, Joan Wilde! And Danny DeVito. Anyway, it's the same thing. Hollywood is just... I just leave it there. And Hollywood is just... And I got, speaking of Batman, I got an email sent to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com from Helen.

Apparently, she was, I don't know. Like most email. that I get sent. She wasn't happy. Jeffie, Jeffie, Jeffrey. I get it. The movie was,

this is referring to Batman. I get it. The movie was way too long, but really not that long. The seat was too hot. The food was too expensive. You would rather watch it at home. Blah, blah, blah.

You missed the headline. Your kids wanted to go to the movies with you. Yeah. I get it, Helen. And, you know, I would say so. But on the other hand, I went. So who won from that? Speaking of emails, plenty of requests coming in to be contestants on what's the lie.

You two can request to be a contestant. Just email chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Let me know, hey, yeah, I want to be a contestant on what's the lie. And then I'll get back to you and we'll get, you know, contact information. And we'll go from there. I don't know if we're going to make a. day of just doing the game show. What's the lie?

And then we'll just be like a real game show where we make a week of game shows in one day. Although I just do what's a lie like once a week. So I mean, I could do a month of What's the Lie on one day. So that might happen. That may have to happen. So we'll see. Anyway, if you want to be a contestant on what's the lie? Just email Chewing the Fat of the Blaze.com and let me know that, yes.

you would like to be a contestant. Things over at Disney aren't going too well. I think there's little family issues going on over there at Disney. Disney CEO Bob Chapick, he's got the employees a little wound up. You know, remember he said that he wasn't going to take an official stance on the old Florida don't say gay bill, which isn't actually a don't say gay bill. But it does talk about gentleness. discussion of

sexual orientation for young kids. And at first, you know, he said, we're not taking an official stance. Corporations have little to do with how that stuff happens. Ooh! But then, his stance was

not taken well by social media. So he reversed course and publicly opposed the bill and apologizing, you needed to be you needed me to be a stronger ally in the fight for equal rights and I let you down.

I am sorry. That's what he wrote to his employees. Wow. That apology, this is why you'd never bend the knee, Bob. That apology has not satisfied the Disney rank and file. They've been staging 15-minute walkouts

since last week. And I guess they're supposed to walk out the whole day tomorrow. I would say if you walk out for the whole day, you're fired. How about that? how about you take that how about you take that bend the knee policy no you take

you walk up for a day you're fired I know that's not going to happen but it would if Jeff Fisher was Disney CEO to help with a crisis management former CEO Bob Eiger who gave Bob the reins back

in I don't know last year for 2020 a couple years ago now wow and so they could you know they're saying hey, maybe you ought to, you know, reach out to Bob and see if he can help you out. Bob, Chepek is not having any of it because he hates Iger. I mean, Iger said, yeah, you know, I'll give him some pointers if he calls. I'm here for him.

Oh, no, Chepik was a little pissed that Iger volunteered to help him steer the company through the COVID pandemic. Well, yeah, that was before because he gave him the reins early. on just before the pandemic. And then that hit. And Iger was like, well, you know, if you want me to stick around. And Bob was like, no, I got it. Once you hit the bricks. I mean, the company's been crushing earning money.

Disney Plus saved them. And that was a great move. A Disney Plus saved them during the pandemic. We'll see, though. Things are not well, not well at the home of Disney these days. So let's see what. happens. And as long as we're talking about Disney, we had as well talk about ABC, who, oh, that's right. Oh, my gosh. They're owned by Disney, too. Huh? Well, I see that they passed on the National Parks

show that Kevin Costner was pitching. We talked about it before. It sounds like a cool show that, you know, was talking about the crimes that take place in the National Parks, National Parks investigation. And ABC said, yeah, no, we don't want to, we don't want to pass on that. We don't want you to be a part of it, though. Oh, what? Yeah, listen, we're going to progress with the National Park Inspired series, but we don't want you involved, Kevin.

Why wait? Why not? Well, because the writer and executive producer of 9-1-1-Lone Star, and I don't know if Rashid Rashini is part of. of 911 as well. But she's going to do the National Park Inspired series, too. Oh, okay, because it is a good idea. I just, I love the idea of the, you know, criminals and the detectives who work in the

national parks. And it's kind of a cool premise. But I'm hoping that Rashad Rashid Rashini, I hope, I think I said Rashid or Rashad, I'm not anyway, it's Rashad Rase. No, it's not a morphophilis. Don't play amorphalus. It's executive producer Rashad Arasani. Okay, there you go.

No, main talk of think. Yeah, that's just don't dare do it. Okay, whatever it is. Whether it's the talk and the think or the think in the talk, don't do it. Okay? I do aren't speaking of these people, those people. Chelsea Handler, she said that white men owe us an apology. I don't know who us is unless it's just women.

And that their opinion is irrelevant. So if their opinion is irrelevant, I guess I'm sorry and then walk away. The sad thing is, is that she said this on a podcast with Samantha B. Samantha B on her weekly podcast, full release with Samantha B. Man, I bet you that is good. Wow, am I sad that I missed this podcast? But she claimed on this show, men can be so disappointing. She went on to say, I know it's not all men, obviously.

I have to keep saying that, which is so annoying. Well, my brother says, Chelsea, not all white guys are bad. Well, you are for even saying that. don't even say that and she later went on to say no one is saying all white guys are bad well you kind of are but she went on to say we're saying there are enough bad ones out there that as a collective you guys owe us an apology oh so we are all bad that's what you think right she explained that white men might not individually be responsible for any wrongdoing but as a collective they have had an unfair advantage over women.

Have they? Chelsea? Have they? I doubt that very much. Especially when the two of you, Chelsea Handler and Samantha B. are on this full-release podcast, which she, I mean, Samantha B is agonizing. Now, you know what? Chelsea kind of is, too.

So, you know, two agonizing females doing a show together saying that it's the white man's fault. So, okay, I got it. I got it. Your glass ceiling hasn't been broken yet. Got it. Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a disaster declaration for a number of counties wildfires spreading through the region. Some of that footage this weekend was just incredible. We see footage from California and Washington.

Oregon so many times. But now we're looking at these wildfires here in Texas. The carbon fire, almost the entire town of carbon is done. I think it's carbon. Carbon, Texas. C-A-R-B-O-N. Don't play the amorphal phallus

again. So it's the Eastland Complex. The fires are made up. That's what they're being called. They're made up of four smaller batches. I mean, 42,000 acres. was burned so of the for the kid fire that started

25% containment we'll see it's raining and storming here in my neck of Texas today so hopefully they get a little bit of that out there and douse some of these fires down to where it's not going to affect that many people anymore Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiques

and we found some more tombs Yeah, we got found five more tombs. Oh, really? Yeah, just outside of Cairo. They had excavations began back in September, and we discovered some new tombs last month. Oh, okay, great. How many do you have? Well, we found about five tombs, and we'll let you know.

We'll let you know after that, okay? Just know that we found him. Don't forget, we've got the lead sarcophagus in Paris, too, so we're digging up a lot of stuff. I don't want to open them. I want to leave them closed. I think we've seen the documentary when you open something up like that.

Haven't we? Yes, we have. And congratulations to Justin Blowert. I guess, yeah, Justin Blowett. Don't, don't. Amorphophalus. It's supposed to be hard names. Well, this is hard.

You can't say it. Oh, okay. Justin noticed something. something unusual working at a construction site in Iowa. He looked down and said, I looked like a block of stone, just under a foot long, covered in ridges. And then he thought, ooh, hey, no, man, let's,

let me pull that out and see what happens. Yeah, it's a woolly mammoth tooth. Okay, cool. He said, I recognize the tooth, thanks to a deep knowledge of fossils and prehistoric creatures. I'm a nerd like that. Thanks, Justin. And so his two young sons are also passionate about fossils and dinosaurs.

That's what the construction worker said. Okay. All right. You know, you probably are. You got me. I'm sure that the construction worker, I'm sure this is a quote. Ah, I recognize the two things to a deep knowledge of fossils and prehistoric creatures. I don't think that's a quote.

I have a feeling that he said it a little bit differently. I don't know that, though. although it doesn't say that this is a quote, so I'm guessing it is not a quote. The company asked a paleontology repository instructor at the University of Iowa, man, that's a good gig right there. Paleontology repository instructor at the University of Iowa,

Tiffany, to examine the fine, and she confirmed it. Yep, woolly mammoth tooth, 11 inches long, weighs 11 and a half pounds. That's a hell of a tooth right there. It's likely more than 20, thousand years old. They have distinctive teeth.

Yeah, no kidding. Looks like a loaf of bread, and their unique shape makes the mammoth teeth relatively easy to identify. So does Justin get to take it home to the kids? You know, the two sons who are also passionate about

fossils and dinosaurs? No, he does not. It's going to be shown at the new home of the Sheldon Prairie Museum in Northwest. Iowa Community College. Wow, does that sound like a place through the old woolly mammoth tooth

is the Sheldon Prairie Museum at Northwest Iowa Community College. It's going to be there semi-permanently loaned for display. This way, everyone from across our service area can come to the museum and see and appreciate this artifact. All right, well, congratulations.

Hopefully, Justin gets a little plaque or something. You know, Justin. Amorph a phallus. That way you'll be able to know who found it. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you

And congratulations on your, your new home. And I'm sure you'll be incredibly happy there. I know I certainly would be. Have you flown lately?

Have you flown lately? Have you flown lately? Because I keep hearing, I know that flights are going all over the world and everybody's happy and the pilots are happy. And the waitresses are happy. The in-flight waitresses, I'm sorry, flight attendants are all happy. And things are going good. And people are happy about flying. They're not making any waves on the plane.

But, you know, every time I hear of flight attendants. complaining about passengers getting all wound up on the plane. Then I hear it get this story where the plane landed at a Worcester Airport in Massachusetts Monday night. And then the jet blue passengers on the plane were just sitting on the tarmac and the pilot came on and said, yeah. Oh, man, we do not have any airline staffing to help with you. So we're just going to sit here for a little bit.

We can't get you off the flight. We got no staff available. And we're supposed to be not unhappy about that, right? We're supposed to be, oh, okay, fine. Just let us know what we should do then. So JetBlue just, yeah, sorry, that's the way it goes. Yeah, you know, sorry. wish we could help you out but we can't so the state police show up and they helped you know

evacuate the people off the plane they had the jet blue manager uh drive in from his house to the airport to let us off the airplane he probably should have been there anyway although he may not have known so as soon as he found out he got there um i know that they talked about the mother with the baby that was on the plane the baby was crying yeah i bet jet blue a finish said, hey, we're working, understand what happened. And we're working with our business partner who operates our ground team in Worcester to determine why a crew member was not in place at the jet bridge to ensure this. You know, it's just an isolated incident.

Okay, we're sorry. We understand that the sure they landed and then they had to wait 45 minutes to deplane after landing. I mean, we did not, we really didn't, we got to comply. We try to comply with all the DOT regulations. But, you know, any delay is frustrating and we apologize. So, you know, get over it. Okay. Now, going to New York City from Worcester,

the last time, the lady that was on this flight said the flight was delayed five hours because the airline didn't have a flight attendant available. I'm telling you what, if I'm on that flight and we don't have an extra flight attendant, so what? Close this door, take off and get us to New York. It's like a 30-minute freaking flight. You're going to make us wait hours because you don't have a flight attendant? No, thanks.

I'll live without my soda. Just close the door. Let's get this thing taken off. So JetBlue, these are the companies that our government is saving and wants you to to be okay with. So congratulations. This is what you get when you get too big to fail. And very sad news out of China, a passenger plane, a Chinese passenger plane with

132 people on board crashed in the forested hillside of southern China. Now, I will say this. It was incredible. If the video I saw of this plane, crashing. It was unbelievable. It said the number of casualties and the reason for the crash are not yet known. There were no signs of survivors. No kidding. If the video that is out there is the actual crash of Boeing 737-800, the Chinese flight that crashed. There's no way anyone survived of that. I mean, it was just a dead stick rifling toward the ground.

It was amazing. It's not like you think, you know, the pilot was trying to land in the forest or anything like that. No, I mean, it was straight down to the ground. It was ugly. Ugly. And I love that the flight tracking data suggested the plane lost height rapidly from its cruising altitude. Yeah, no kidding. It lost height rapidly.

It was flying directly into the ground. I mean, directly into the ground. the ground. It was horrific. There's no way a human being, if a human being or any kind of animal, for that matter, survived that. It was, it is only by the hand of God that saved you. Because I don't see how anyone could have survived that crash. It was incredible. It was only a few minutes into their flight. and then it turned into tragedy. I mean, it was just ugly, very sad prayers for everyone involved in that.

And the search and rescue just, it's going to be a while. I mean, it's going to be interesting to see what actually happened. Once we get the black box and once we get what happened, I know that some of those planes like this one are a little old and have safety, fatigue cracks that they talked about. But this plane wasn't even. seven years old yet. And we have a lot older planes than that.

And it has nothing to do with the 737 max, which, you know, was, uh, was under fire for quite some time. So now this version was, uh, 737, 800. We'll see. We'll see what the deal was. But it was not pretty at all, man. And when you talk about, uh, losing height rapidly from its cruising altitude? Yeah, it lost height rapidly. All right. It was almost like you, you know, a movie or a

cartoon. I mean, it was just flying directly into the ground. It was not pretty at all. It had to been frightening. Well, I mean, of course it was. Duh. If you're on the plane. Okay.
