Starting point is 00:00:32 And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Okay, sure, we're all upset about not being able to get baby formula. But today, I find out that there's been a recall for Skittles, Starbursts, and Lifesavers. This will not stand. There are apparently the presence of metal strand fragments in Starburst guns. Gummy's, Lifesaver Gummies, and Skittles Gummies. So, of course, we have to issue the voluntary recall of these three candy products due to the potential presence of thin metal fragments inside the candies or loose in the bag. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:01:21 No problem. The products were manufactured by a third party and sold nationwide in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The recall is, of course, for products distributed in the United States. So they received reports that consumers found a very thin metal strand embedded inside the gummy candy or loose in the candy's bag. However, Mars has not received any reports of injuries or illnesses due to the consumption of the product. But hey, we're going to remove all the products from the store shelves. We don't want any of that. Now, the good thing about this recall is that, A, you know, no one has been injured,
Starting point is 00:02:03 or at least reportedly, no one has been injured. But it is the Starburst, Lifesavers, and Skittles gummies. So, I mean, you're still able to get the regular starbursts and the regular lifesavers and the regular skittles. So, you know, I guess that's the bright side of this. But on the other hand, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I can't get baby formula. Whatever. There's a recall on Skittles, Starburst, and Lifesavers.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Okay? All right, then. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. As I was looking at the recalls that have been happening, and I got a little nervous because I see there right underneath the Skittles and the lifesavers and the gummies, I look at the other recalls and I'm like, oh my gosh,
Starting point is 00:02:59 look at all this ground beef that's being recalled. It's pretty incredible. 120,000 pounds of ground beef recalled. And then they have another for ground beef. There's one, two, three different separate, different and separate ground beef recalls. But they're all organic. So nobody buys that. Never mind.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Congratulations are in order, though. to Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York City. Of course, that is the North America's largest transportation network. They just unveiled a new project that came in on time and under budget. You don't get that anymore in today's world. Now, sure, it's a staircase, the entryway at Times Square subway station, and it only cost the Transit Authority $30 million. to build.
Starting point is 00:03:57 $30 million to build a 15-foot-wide staircase at the center of Broadway Plaza at 43rd Street, and it's going to provide tourists and others with a clear path in and out of the crossroads of the world. The new staircase is 450 square feet bigger than its predecessor. That one wasn't even centrally located, so. He saw so many tourists coming down there and being disoriented. Not anymore. Not anymore. The entrance provides direct access to Times Square.
Starting point is 00:04:35 You know, it's a pathway to the crossroads of the world. Now, they also spent $10 million on an elevator, but MTA didn't pay for that. The company that owns the building, Jamestown LP, they went ahead and paid for that. Oh, that's so special. However, we got the new staircase for $30 million. Now, sure, that's not all.
Starting point is 00:05:06 It wasn't just the staircase, silly. There was a street-level canopy. There was an expanded turnstile area. There were 18 new closed-captioned surveillance cameras and a mosaic by artist Nick Cave. And the mosaic is so beautiful. I mean, when you look at it, it's 4,600 square foot artwork as, well, it's the largest mosaic in the subway system, and it's just darn beautiful and overwhelming. And all this work gets done while running the busiest station complex in the system under the busiest public gathering space in the world.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Except it really wasn't the busiest during COVID or any of that time. But I digress. Don't worry about that. Just go with the narrative, Jeff. but they they spent 30 million MTA the company that owns the building
Starting point is 00:05:59 spent 10 on the elevator and that is $8 million under budget and I thought they ran the mafia out of New York I was mistaken that is incredible I used to go in and out of that station
Starting point is 00:06:20 the subway station and the train station are connected there at Penn Station, although I know it's a separate entity, which is what they're talking about, the stairway that leads you out of the subway system there at Times Square. I'm sorry, what did they call it? Now, I just call it Times Square. They call it the crossroads of the world. And so you couldn't figure it out and say, hey, look, that's where all the people are going.
Starting point is 00:06:47 I guess that's the stairway that takes me out into Times Square. I don't know which way to go. Now, you would think, for me anyway, one of the things that's disappointing is they don't have an escalator. That's, I mean, they're just, they're walking. It's a walking staircase. There's no escalator. So if you don't want to walk the stairs,
Starting point is 00:07:09 you have to take the elevator. And the elevator did not look that big. I saw a picture of it. If it's just one, did not look that big. So you're going to be waiting to squeeze onto that. elevator for quite some time, if there's only one. Because a lot of people that can't necessarily, you know, walk the stairs at a reasonable pace, take the escalator. You take the escalator,
Starting point is 00:07:35 and if you're not going to walk it, you stay off to the right, and then people that walk it, walk to the left, and they just zoom up the stairway. And if you don't want to zoom up the stairway, you just stay to the right and ride the escalator to the top. But they didn't put that in. I mean, they only had $38 million to spend and so they wanted to come in $8 million under budget it's just silly to think that they would
Starting point is 00:08:00 put in an escalator amazing amazing times that we live in but congratulations to the MTA of NYC the Metropolitan Transit I'm sorry I keep on to say transit
Starting point is 00:08:16 it's the Metropolitan Transportation Authority how. It's North America's largest transportation network. And we're darn lucky to have them because they're creating a better system and making it easier for people to have better access to the crossroads of the world. So I only caught some highlights of Amber Heard's testimony for the Depp Heard trial, and I think she's done now testifying. I feel like I was a little disappointed in the cross-examination of Amber.
Starting point is 00:08:50 wanted it a little bit better. And I'm going to go back and watch some of it because what I read about the cross-examination, I feel like it just wasn't tough enough. And that week off when the judge had to go to her beach vacation, I just feel like we lost some ground. We lost some steam. And so we need to get that steam back. So we'll see what happens today in the Depp-Hard trial.
Starting point is 00:09:16 I see where they're trying to make a big deal out of America. more interested in Depp Herd Trial than abortion. Not really. I mean, they talk about the average number of social media interactions per published article by a select topic. And, you know, Herd Depp trial is by far number one. Then Elon Musk is number two. Then Joe Biden is number three. Then abortion is number four.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Then Russia-Ukraine war is number five. inflation is number six. COVID-19 is 40 is number seven. Now, here's the deal. We do care about COVID-19. We do care about inflation.
Starting point is 00:09:59 In fact, we care a lot about inflation. We do care about abortion. In fact, we do care a lot about abortion. And we do care about the president, but we're just overwhelmed. And if we can get through the day on social media and we can joke around about Amber and Johnny Trial and Elon and what he's tweeting about, then it makes the day worthwhile when I have to drive by the gas station
Starting point is 00:10:27 that just went up over 20 cents in two days. So, I mean, do we care more about it on social media? Yes, in real life? Not so much. I do like the line where the hashtag justice for Johnny Depp has over 10 billion views. And the hashtag justice for Amber Heard has 39 million. So most people interacting on social media are for Johnny Depp.
Starting point is 00:11:03 And so we'll see how it turns out. It's going to be interesting. It's going to end by the end of the month. It's supposed to end by the end of the month. So we'll be good to go at the end of the month. then really, I mean, summer is right around the corner. And with summer, you're going to need some food on the go.

Starting point is 00:12:58 Well, it was announced that Harrison Ford and Helen Moran are set to star in Taylor Sheridan's new Yellowstone Prequel 1932 at, you know, on Paramount Plus. So the show, we've talked a little bit about it before, follows the Dutton family, Time of Prohibition, Prohibition, Great Depression, and Westward Expansion. 1932 is, of course, the follow-up to 1883, which, you know, showed them making their way to Montana, which, you know, would become Yellowstone. And so we'll see.
Starting point is 00:13:43 I mean, it's just another show. We've talked about it. The show had been announced, Taylor Sheridan. had been announced. I don't know that I like the idea of Harrison Ford and Helen Marin in it. But okay, I mean, they can pull it off. I like Harrison. So, you know, I like Helen.
Starting point is 00:14:01 So maybe they can pull it off. We'll see. I mean, it's tough to say no to these guys, two superstars. I mean, Harrison is, looks like he's giving up to films. Got injured making his last film. It's like, yeah, maybe I'll just do some TV. Yeah. The money's there.
Starting point is 00:14:19 it Harrison. So apparently he's doing an Apple comedy series called shrinking. Oh, okay. No problem. I mean, I like a lot of his film. I love a lot of his films, in fact. Fugitive and Witness. I love it was awesome.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Harrison Ford is awesome. And Helen Moran, awesome. Right? She's been in some huge movies. So, you know, maybe they'll pull it off. Maybe they'll pull it up. They say it's going to debut. Paramount Plus in December.
Starting point is 00:14:52 So they better hop on it. Taylor, you better get production working. Now, Taylor has nine shows in various states of production. So he's got 1932. He's got Yellowstone. He's currently at work on the second season of the mayor of Kingston, which will be awesome. That first season of Mayor of Kingstown.
Starting point is 00:15:19 down was really good, kind of dark, really a serious big guy show. He has Tulsa King, which I know we've talked about when Sylvester Stallone got that gig. And we have Lioness starring Zoe Saldana, which is in pre-production, I think. So Tulsa King follows an Italian mobster who faces with the startling tassadowing. of reestablishing his Italian mafia family in Kansas City, Missouri. And then Lioness is a young Marine who's recruited by the CIA to befriend the daughter of a terrorist group in order to bring down the organization from within.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I mean, Taylor Sheridan, and this guy is just amazing. I follow, this is a little inside behind a little behind the curtain for chewing the fat. I follow his wife on Instagram Because I figure if I can see what the wife is doing Then that's what he's doing, right? And she's at the ranch a lot The four sixes and traveling. Now they just went on vacation.
Starting point is 00:16:28 She posted a shot of her and someone else You know, toasting champagne. The kids were flying. They were, of course, on their own private airplane. And she scans the plane. And there's a guy, I never see Taylor. It's rare to see Taylor with her. her. And there's a guy in the back of the jet on a laptop working and he looks up if she scans
Starting point is 00:16:54 the plane to show that they're on their way to vacation. So, I mean, Taylor's vacation is working. The guy has, it's got nine shows. Hello. I don't know if you, the Kansas City thing, if you've ever seen, you ever watch Fargo, they get into the Kansas City mob as well in the years that it passes. Right. I think it was Kansas City. City in the last couple Fargoes. Anyway, it's just, should be interested in Sylvester might be able to pull it off. We'll see if that
Starting point is 00:17:24 happens. I see where Disney is talking about a new ad supported tier to Disney Plus, and they're saying, well, we're not going to take ads for alcohol and politics. We want to keep the venue family friendly.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Do you? But, so they're looking at new subscribers and trying to get cheaper subscription levels. So by doing that, they're going to need to have commercials. And so they want to be able to have the right family-friendly environment. So, I mean, okay, let's see what you got. I mean, at some point, I'm willing to watch commercials.
Starting point is 00:18:07 I like commercials. I'm a fan of commercials. But, you know, there are a lot of times when I feel like they're intruding on my viewing. But if it's going to, you know, if I can get the streaming service cheaper and have to sit through commercials, all right, fine. But I see where they're talking now about how product placement is going to take over your favorite show. So Amazon and Peacock and with the ad tech firms are betting on product placement. Now, they talk about this. Like, it's a growing.
Starting point is 00:18:45 It's a growing. I mean, I've been a fan of product placement forever. I was the first one talking about put ads on the side of school buses. Put the cell towers in the backyards of schools. Absolutely. Put it in. Have, you know, if you're making a show, when the guy is eating dinner, let him eat Kentucky fried chicken.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Let him drink whatever you drink. Add placement. But what they're talking about here is, just putting it in, just digitally inserting the product into the television shows. Oh, wait, what? Right. So instead of the 15 minutes of ads that they used to have on national television, which, you know, obviously is, you know, losing its acceptability,
Starting point is 00:19:41 they're looking at, well, you know what, we'll just put the product. in the show digitally and it'll be fine oh okay so we'll start editing in ads directly into the shows I mean that could get a little overwhelming and it would not look real you kind of want the ad placement to look real man I wish I would like to be involved in that because that's fascinating to me because I always wanted to I like the idea of being able to watch a show especially the streaming shows, and see a product, then be able to click on that product and then go buy it.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Or see how much it is or where it was made or where it's at, see information on that product. And I love that idea. And so if they can tie that in with the product placement and if they're digitally inputting the product, how it doesn't, it's got to look real. It's got to look real. Why does that character have a,
Starting point is 00:20:46 Coke bottle coming out of his head. Ah, they put it in wrong. All right, at it. Plus, I'll tell you another thing that needs to happen, which really, I think we've talked about it before. I subscribe to YouTube TV. Not for that much longer, by the way. And they're
Starting point is 00:21:00 pricing themselves out of my business. But I, when I, DVR stuff, save stuff to record, which is a lot. When you go back and watch it, the commercials that air during the recorded shows are the same commercials that aired when it was live.
Starting point is 00:21:26 And I feel like that needs to change. I feel like YouTube TV needs to work on that because some of them are dated. And so why leave those in the recorded shows? Take them out and put something else in. I mean, it just seemed like a revenue enhancer. What do I know? What do I know? And I'd like to thank Facebook for letting me know that one of my posts goes against their community standards on nudity.
Starting point is 00:21:55 What? Yeah, no one else could see your post. Our standards apply globally. They're the same for everyone. Repeatedly violating our community standards can cause further account restrictions. If you think we've made a mistake, you can disagree with the decision. Yeah, I do think you've made a mistake. they used the picture of Madonna's NFT
Starting point is 00:22:16 that I posted to promote the show when I promote the show every day on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR, Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. I usually post a pick that refers back to what I was talking about in the show, plus I post a pick of chewing the fat, a logoed pick.
Starting point is 00:22:35 And this particular post with the Madonna NFT, it was up for a few days. I mean, I got likes and shares from that account but no more. They took it down because it violated against community standards.
Starting point is 00:22:48 I don't know if somebody complained. I don't know why you would complain about that. I mean, it was Madonna's NFT shot and it was just a blown up shot up close of her NFT. It wasn't even the full naked shot. So anyway, I got to do have to, I'm going to dispute it.
Starting point is 00:23:06 But what do I know? Again, what do I know? So follow me on Facebook DeFisher radio on Instagram. Instagram still has it up, by the way. Jeff Fisher Radio and Twitter, I believe, still has it up at Jeff EGIFR. And for those of you that are subscribers to Blaze TV, you know, on Wednesdays, I do a chewing the fat segment on Pat Gray on Least, which you can, you know, watch for free and listen
Starting point is 00:23:30 to free on some outlets, Blaze Radio and whatever other platforms it's on. But it's also part of the Blaze TV. and Pat does an overtime on Blaze TV and he went down to work with Glenn today so I did fill it in for him on the Pat Gray overtime so you can see that if you subscribe to Blaze TV you can do that by going to blazTV.com slash Jeffey use the promo code Jeffey

Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing. and gifts, so you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian

Starting point is 00:25:10 So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshalls. We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. So surprising news that the FDA has authorized a booster shot of Pfizer's vaccine for kids five to 11 years old. Good, good for them. Good, good, good for them. It's making everyone in the country over the age five eligible for the third
Starting point is 00:25:41 shot. That's just amazing. And thank you FDA. And thank you Pfizer for making that available for everyone. And also, did you know that you can order eight more free COVID-19 tests from the government at COVID-test.gov? No, well, they are available.
Starting point is 00:26:03 And they're free. So, don't even think about, I mean, you're not paying for them with your taxes or anything. They're free. And you can get eight more sent right to your home. Amazing that you can get the home PCR.
Starting point is 00:26:19 tests sent right. That's why they're home PCR tests because they're sent right to your home for free. Also, as a side note, completely unrelated to the home PCR test. The latest COVID-19 variant
Starting point is 00:26:35 discovered in France, you can't detect them in the standard PCR test. So you can still be positive for COVID-19 and the standard PCR test wouldn't show it. That's all, though. Don't worry about it. The mutation was found, by the way, of genomic, genomic, genomic, genomic.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Amorphophalus sequencing in a cluster of infections in a hospital, and eight of the 79 COVID-19 patients turned out to be carriers of the new variant, nicknamed La Varian Breton. Initially, they tested negative with gold standard PCR tests, despite presenting typical symptoms. Later, the infection was confirmed with analysis of blood samples and tissue in the respiratory system. All eight patients have since died. Wow.
Starting point is 00:27:33 And that's just one variant. I heard rumors the other day, and I know it's just rumors. So, you know, it's possible. It's not true. but there's more than one variant out there now that can't be detected by the PCR test. I mean, you know you probably have it. Maybe someone in your family has a variant
Starting point is 00:28:00 that test positive with the PCR and you're as sick as they are with the same kind of symptoms but test negative. And so you probably have the variant that can't be read by the home test. But, I mean, if you're still negative and you're sick, you're going out, right? I know, I know. No, don't look at me.
Starting point is 00:28:23 It's never going to go away. So just be ready for everyone to start back with the masks and the lockdowns. And it's just, ugh. Speaking of, ugh, gas. I don't know if you notice this or not, but the prices are pretty high. So the average prices are above $4 a gallon now in all 50 U.S. states for the first time ever. Five states are averaging $5 a gallon. And California hit a record of $6 a gallon.
Starting point is 00:29:06 So good times. Good times. I was amazed. You know, I was driving to or came in to the studios on Monday. day the 16th of May, 2020, and I stopped to get gas. It was 412 a gallon. This morning I left to drive into the studios, and it was 437 a gallon. At some point, enough is enough. And we've gone and we're bending the knee to Venezuela? No. How about we bend the knee to our own country? And let's get this taken care of. I mean, it's sickening
Starting point is 00:29:46 what's being done to this country in the guise of climate change and fossil fuels. And you know what? It just it has to stop. It has to stop. All right. I'll stop. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:30:04 And MasterCard has now beginning a pilot program for facial recognition. They're going to start it in Brazil though. So don't worry about it's not in your country. Well, you know, unless you're listening in Brazil,
Starting point is 00:30:20 if you are, you're going to be, have the technology available to you because they're going to allow customers to check out with facial technology with their MasterCard. And that's great. It's a biometric payment method. It's going to be available soon to retailers. And that's wonderful.
Starting point is 00:30:37 That's wonderful. And it actually probably will be more convenient and probably tout it as safer because of the facial technology. we shall see won't we oh and I see where flight data
Starting point is 00:30:52 indicates the Chinese Eastern Airlines plane crash that happened in March believes that it was intentionally put into a nose dive oh so far investigators have not found
Starting point is 00:31:08 any mechanical or technical faults with the jet all right Remember the 737-800 flying between the Chinese cities of Kunming and Guangzhou when it crashed? All 132 passengers and crew on board the plane died in the crash. I guess we'll get the names. If you look at the altitude of the plane, I mean, it goes up.
Starting point is 00:31:45 It hits just under 30,000. And then straight down. Wow. I mean, a little over an hour into the flight, straight down. Amazing. Just, I mean, it was terrifying for all people on board that plane. So if it was done intentionally, I wonder, you know, why? It makes one ask the question, why something like that would have been done.
Starting point is 00:32:12 they have recovered the black box we'll see if that says anything it wouldn't surprise me that there was someone or some family on that plane that needed to be taken care of
Starting point is 00:32:34 but what do I know nothing I don't know a thing I am just guessing so just know that we're saying now that the investigators have so far found no mechanical or technical false with the jet. Huh. Huh. It's the matcha or the three ensemble Cado Cephora of the fates that I just didn't niche that me energize all the time?
Starting point is 00:33:19 It's the ensemble. The form of standard and mini-regrouped. What abem. And the embellage, too beau, who is practically pre-a-don-down. And I know that I'd they'd have them but I guard the Summer Fridays
Starting point is 00:33:29 and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. I'm just the best all the best show of the fairos summer Fridays Rare Beauty
Starting point is 00:33:37 Way, Cephora Collection and other part of the video. Procurre you these formats and mini regrouped for
Starting point is 00:33:41 a better quality of on line on c4. or in magazine. Who died today? Who died today? Veteran actress Maggie Peterson.
Starting point is 00:33:53 You remember her. Maggie was memorable for her role as Charlene Darling on the Andy Griffith Show. Was she? Yes, yes she was. She was 81 years of age. She passed away in Colorado. She died peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by her family. Her health took a turn for the worst after the death of her husband, Gus, and we're relieved that we were able to move her home to be close to family for her last days.
Starting point is 00:34:24 That is wonderful, and it's always good when that happens. And they, you know, she loved her fans of the Andy Griffith Show. And when you think of Maggie and the Andy Griffith Show, and she had a book called Mayberry Memories, and she was in a number of other shows as well. She was in a singing group that they did shows in Vegas and Lake Tahoe and Reno, and that's how she was discovered. and then Andy put her on the Andy Griffith Show and we're good to go.
Starting point is 00:34:58 But, you know, you think, wow, she was also a love American style and Green Acres and Gomer Pyle USMC and the odd couple. She was in a movie that starred Andy Griffith. I mean, he was a fan of her. And Don Knott's put her in a movie. So, I mean, the whole Andy Griffith show crowd was. a fan of Maggie. But when you think, well, I mean,
Starting point is 00:35:28 do I don't really remember her on the Andy Griffiths show? Yeah. Well, that's because she was only in five episodes of the Andy Griffith show. So I guess she made a lasting impression because she was in a whopping five episodes on the Andy Griffith show. Anyway, Maggie Peterson. Rest in peace, dead at 81 years of age.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Hey, you know what? I see that Stranger Things is opening up a shop here in Dallas. I know. It's coming up, open up in a few days here in Dallas. It looks really cool. An official Stranger Things pop-up store, I may have to reach out and try to talk to these people and get them on the air to talk about,
Starting point is 00:36:22 talk about the experience and what they can expect. Maybe I'll go out there and shoot some video. We'll see. But it looks really cool. And it's for a limited time only. So I've got to reserve my spot on the calendar to get in there. I better hurry the heck up if I want to do that. Otherwise, you know, I'll just be moving along and not worried about it.
Starting point is 00:36:47 So I've been thinking all day about Jurassic Park. and I can't stop thinking about it. Now I talked a little bit this morning on Pat Unleashed about the sale of the Diononicus. Yeah, the Diononicus. It's much bigger and deadlier
Starting point is 00:37:05 than the Velociraptor. But Michael Creighton, who wrote Jurassic Park, he didn't like the name, so he just called him Velociraptor. But it is the recreation of the Velociraptor. a raptor from Jurassic Park. It's sold at Krispies this week for $12.4 million.
Starting point is 00:37:29 $126 fossilized bones dating back 108 to 115 million years. It's named Hector. It's 10 feet long. It would be really cool to have Hector. It would be really cool. And then it got me thinking about Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. and we got the new Jurassic World coming out on the 10th of June. And that looks really good.
Starting point is 00:37:56 And then I got to thinking about, well, you know, there's like six Jurassic Park movies that I kind of have to care about. And I don't know that, you know, are they all? I don't know how to rank them. So you have Jurassic Park number one, which was, you know, I guess that's the number one slot. Then you have Lost World, Jurassic Park.
Starting point is 00:38:14 That's Jurassic World, you know, two. And that was, eh. And then Jurassic Park 3, which was okay. That was better than a better than you had Jurassic World, which was great. And then Fallen Kingdom, which was good. And now you're going to have World Dominion, which is supposed to be the final one. Is it? Supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Supposed to be the last one. We'll see. But you got to go with, you know, with Jurassic Park and then maybe Jurassic World. And then maybe you get into Jurassic Park. three or fallen kingdom. And then the lost world probably has to be last on the list. And then we'll see, although we'll see how World Dominion,
Starting point is 00:39:02 Jurassic World Dominion plays out. But it's probably going to be above Lost World. Two and three, right? You'd have to, you're probably going to do that. But anyway, I'm just looking forward to the Jurassic Park movie. So that's all it's just And you know I mean people are spending millions of dollars
