And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. I'm not even sure where to start today. We can start with nasty pool water, nasty kitchens and restaurants, recalls, or, you know what, let's just start with something that I guess is supposed to be good. Wendy's is saying, hey, it's summertime, so we're going to start selling strawberry frosties. Yay! Now, the good news from that story is that they are temporarily replacing the vanilla frosty. No way do they replace the chocolate frosty.

I mean, I've had the vanilla frosty by accident. I don't recommend it. I like, you know, cold, thick, ice creamy processing food. But I'm, you know, it's chocolate frosty. Hello, this is America. You go to Wendy's for the chocolate frosty. Hello. I mean, when they ask, at the last time I went to Wendy's, I ordered a large frosty. And you want chocolate or vanilla? And I'm like, is this still America?

And, okay, so you want chocolate? Yeah. Yes, I do. Unless I specifically ask for a different flavor. When someone asks for a frosty at Wendy's, they mean chocolate. But, hey, it's summertime. and not only will you be able to get the summer strawberry chicken salad. And who doesn't go to Wendy's for the summer strawberry chicken salad? Apparently, some people do because they said we're always listening to our fans. Okay. So you can get your summer strawberry chicken salad and your strawberry frosty. or you can just remain being an American and getting your chocolate frosty.

And if there's, you know, whatever Wendy's you go to around the world, the point of getting a frosty is getting a chocolate frosty. So maybe it's not just an American thing. It's a human thing. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Nasty pool water. story. This is why

I always question pool parks, water parks. I love them, but, oof, no. An investigation into the popular pool clubs on the Las Vegas strip revealed, you guessed it, the presence of bacteria and

E. coli. Inside addition, sent a team of producers to collect samples at three of the most popular day clubs on the strip, Marquis Day Club at the Cosmopolitan, Daylight Beach Club at Mandalay Bay and the Tao Beach Day Club at the Venetian. Okay.

The pool water samples were sent to laboratories in Seattle for testing, and then they were reviewed by a clinical microbiologist at Columbia University. We found a lot of fecal bacteria in some of these pools. The potential for infection occurring seems inevitable. Yeah, you think. The Southern Nevada Health District requires these day clubs to keep pool filtration systems in continuous operation and to keep pools clean of debris, slime, and biofilm. The pool at the marquee day club, the producers found, the producers of Inside Edition found fingernails, cigarette butts, and foamy debris. Ooh, that does, I mean, I'm almost okay with fingernails and cigarette butts, but foamy debris, no, no thank you.

The samples from that very same pool day club, the marquee day club, contained a bacteria count of 15 million, and that foamy debris tested positive for E. coli. The Mandelaide Bay's Daylight Beach Club, the pool water sample. 100 million bacteria count and E. coli was found in that water as well. According to the one expert, the Dr. Susan Whittier, a clinical microbiologist at Columbia University, I never expected to see those numbers of bacteria that we found. It's kind of similar to like swimming in a toilet. Now, I mean, your toilet is probably clean. I know I presume that mine is, but I wouldn't go swimming in it.

The Tao Beach Day Club, though, is great. Whatever they're doing is perfect. The pool water was clean, no evidence of E. coli bacteria, and certainly no evidence of fingernails, cigarette butts, or foamy debris. at the old Tao Beach Day Club. So if you're going to go, if you're going to hit Vegas, you might want to do the, if you want to do the water park kind of thing and hang out and get drunk in a pool,

do that at the Tao Day. It's called the Tao Beach Day Club. Make sure I get that right, because they're the ones that are doing it right. The Tao Beach Day Club are not doing it wrong. There are no fingernails, no cigarette butts, and no foamy debris. still though it makes one's a question you know what i'm just not gonna just not gonna go there

i'm just not gonna go there now we've talked a lot about the fine line between restaurants and customers right we don't really want to know what goes on in the back we trust that you're going to be as sanitary as you can we trust that you're not going to be as sanitary as you can we trust that you're not to, you know, spit in our food or leave foamy debris in our drinks. We trust that. That's what we do. We have, you know, we do have people that come in, health department and other inspectors that come in and want to make sure that you have, you know, sanitary conditions.

But we don't want to know. We just, we just don't want to know anyway. But I read a story in a local newspaper about a Little Caesar's pizza franchise. in Fort Worth, Texas. At 6248 McCart Avenue, for those of you that are familiar with the Fort Worth area, Fort Worth, Texas area, and may know where the Little Caesar's Pizza location is at 6248 McCart Avenue. They had a little problem.

They were shut down during recent health inspection. They were cited for excessive pests and unsanitary. conditions. Now, I'm a fan, you know, of Little Caesars. I've not taken anything away from Little Caesars. I, you know, let me have the $5 pizza or the $4 pizza or the $2. Whatever deal you have. Pizza, pizza. Whatever deal you have, fine, whatever. And I realize that this is just one place. You know, there's plenty of other Little Caesars out there that are doing good work and clean work. So I got it. But, ooh, I mean, they shut this place down right then. They score, to 34, and that's not good, according to the Health Department.

They were cited for mold on containers of liquid crazy bread spread, unsafe food, excessive flies, and gnats near the cook and wash area, and employees not washing their hands. Now, if you're an employee and the health inspector is in the building, do you not wash your hands even if you don't normally maybe maybe you don't maybe you're just an idiot and you know you're you don't know how to do it right to begin with your training process was wrong so you don't you don't do it but it would seem to me that you would try to at least follow regulations when the inspectors are there they also found a roach near a sink one roach doesn't sound bad

and it was immediately shut down now it opened the next day after another inspection where they scored 23 during the follow-up. Now, okay, so you score this bad score, and then one day later you clean up and we're back to being open again. Okay, whatever, you got it. Now, I was looking at the list of actual inspections, the violations that they have.

It goes all, I mean, it is incredible. Observed prepared pizzas on racks without timestamps. Food not marked with appropriate timestamp. Okay. Observe mold on containers of liquid crazy bread spread. Food is not safe in good condition. Unadulterated and honestly presented. The food is not in good condition.

Okay. Observe cardboard used as cover for dough mixer with white and blue organic matter. Observed food debris on prep table. And the list goes on and on and on. One employee did not wash their hands as required. Okay. So that was just a stupid employee. A certified food protection manager not employed by the facility or available.

Oh, yeah, no, you got to have the... I mean, that's just another government way, right? I mean, you've got to keep the restaurants clean, but now they've got to make sure you have the certified food protection manager. I'm sure that's just an online course. So, you know, take the online course and get your certification. Would you, please? Wow. Inadequate hand cleaning supplies or inadequate hand drying provisions at hand washing sink.

Oof. Crack observed under back door. Oh, yeah. That's bad things. Things come in. Rodents come in. Outer openings. Walls, doors, roof, and windows are not protected against the entry of insects and

rodents. Yeah, no kidding. We talked about the flies and the gnats. They only found one roach out of the sink. Eh, come on. One roach. The rest of them were on the pecks. pizzas, Jeff. Oh, okay. No, never mind. Observed black organic matter in walk-in cooler.

Observed shelving and racks with build-up. Non-food contact services of equipment have accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue, and other debris. And the list continues to go on. So here's, I know it was just, you know, it's just a one store. but it makes one think about the trust we have between restaurant and customer. And it just, well, it kind of makes you want to just eat at home, doesn't it? It does for me, I'll tell you that. But then I think twice about it because I see where the new Taco Bell just opened in Minnesota. We talked about it when they had the concept of opening it with the two-story taco

Bell where they drop your food down into the lane like a bank, tell her a shoot. And it just opened. It just opened. So it's kind of open. I mean, you drive-through lanes are dedicated to mobile or delivery orders. It give you the QR code. And then you pull up and. And your Taco Bell food drops down to you.

Now, I'm sure since it's brand new, thanks to the, the elevated kitchen through the proprietary lift system developed by Vertical Works, Inc. they you know I'm sure they're clean at least now so their drive-thru orders have you know obviously during I mean the last couple years because of a pandemic I mean they everybody says their drive-thru orders rose but yeah they weren't even in the restaurants most of them weren't even open you had to go through the drive-thru anyway some of that percentages are a little misleading but absolutely I mean the drive-thrus need to you know need to step it up a lot of the places chick-fil-a McDonald's have the two drive-through lanes now. But when you look at this

this particular defy Taco Bell with the drive-through lanes and the food drops down, really cool. So makes one want to go to Taco Bell. And just get the, you know, you pull up and you order it online, you get

your 50 tacos and then they drop it down the shoot. Hopefully it's a big enough shoot for 50 tacos. Maybe they have to do a couple of times. but you get it right there. You don't want to get stuck. I don't want to get stuck.

And what happens if it gets stuck? Holy cow. I mean, now you're in trouble, right? I hope that vertical works ink has a good way to get up in there and unclog the old Taco Bell shoot because you don't want my 50 tacos clogging up that shoot for too long. You just do not want that to happen. All right, let's go to the break room.

I need something cold to drink. now desperately. Okay, I know we're in the break room, but I can't stop thinking about the nastiness of restaurants. And, you know, we have to kind of rely on inspectors now because for quite a long time, we weren't able to go into the restaurants, right? We had to get takeout. So you weren't getting to see or have an idea of how the restaurant was kept clean. That was my grandfather's thing.

we go to a restaurant. I could remember walking out of restaurants with my grandfather. We would go in, he would go to the bathroom, and he would come out, and if the bathroom was nasty, we left. His philosophy was if they can't keep the bathroom clean, he don't want to see the kitchen. And, I mean, it's kind of a good way to rule of thumb. If you're able to see a little bit of what goes on,

at least you get an idea of like, no, no, thank you. Not today. No, thank you. Let me just go ahead. put my racons back in and finish listening to this murder podcast. So I don't think about doing anything bad to you behind the swinging doors of the restaurant. Anyway, speaking of my racons, I mean, I love them.

And one of the things that I'm sure my family loves them too, because I am a fan of not only, you know, I want you to listen to more things than just this podcast. But, you know, first and foremost is chewing the fat. Hello. But I was, I like to listen to, you know, murder podcasts and murder stories. And so, you know, a lot of people in my house aren't fans of hearing about murders and mysteries behind those murders. So, you know, that's what I have my, my RACONs for.

And RACONs everyday earbuds look, feel, sound better than ever with the optimized gel tips for the perfect in-ear fit. These earbuds are so comfortable and they will not budge. Trust me, once they're in, they're in. RACONs offer three sound profiles to match what you're listening to, plus noise isolation and awareness mode so you can choose to be immersed in the sound, which is what I always choose, or be able to hear your surroundings when you need to. I don't know of a time when you need to, but apparently there are.

So you're able to choose it if you need it. RACONS give you eight hours of playtime and a 32-hour battery life. One of the, I will say this, one of the things, I keep waiting. I feel like they last forever. The charge lasts forever. Because every time I look at them, I think, oh, I've got to charge them. And they're still fine. I've still got dots lit up.

The charge is still there. Amazing. And when you need to charge it, it's super easy. You can even do it wirelessly. And this is a huge point. With Raycons, you get the same quality audio as other premium audio brands at half price. That's right. Yeah, the other audio brands are a lot more expensive.

But that doesn't mean they won't last. I've seen people talk about their Raycons falling three stories, getting lost in the rain and snowstorms, and still working. It's no wonder Raycon's everyday earbuds have over 49,000, 5.000. star reviews. Check out Raycon's wireless earbuds. My guess is that you're going to want to leave them a five-star review as well.

down and you know retire from being pope apparently you get to do that now i mean we we had that happened with pope benedict xvii uh he stepped down you know back in i don't know two thousand whenever pope francis became pope but before uh pope francis uh when when pope francis uh when Benedict XVI I was anointed Pope I ran for Pope after the death of John Paul in 2005 I ran for Pope and I really I found out that you know look technically you do not have to anyone can run for Pope as long as you're a practicing Catholic which you know at the time I was and now, well, I am if I'm running for Pope. We'll just leave it at that.

But anybody can be Pope. So, yeah, I mean, they like to say that you got to be a, you know, a Cardinal and a bishop and be all, be part of the whole Catholic hierarchy. But you don't have to be. Those aren't the real rules. The rules is anyone can be Pope as long as you get voted in. So I ran for Pope. And I didn't, I didn't make it. So, and then, you know, Benedict, retired.

And so, you know, he left, have a nice day. And so Francis got it. Didn't get me an opportunity to build up a campaign. So now with Francis looking at, you know, mobility problems and he's being, you know, shuffled around in a wheelchair, is having a little, little issues. So, okay. You know, I just want to throw that out there to the conclave. I'm running for Pope.

I know you have the whole College of Cardinals thing and, you know, your black smoke until the white smoke thing. But I want the white smoke to be up in the air for Pope Jeffie. That's what I want. I've already come up. I'm going to be Pope Fatimus Obesius I first. And I'm ready to go. I can't remember what my name was.

I have to go back to the campaign papers. I feel like Fatimus was Pope Obesius Fatimus the first or Pope Fatimus Obesius. Obesias the first I think I like that one better I think this time around maybe it was the way I named myself that hurt my campaign last time in 2005 so Pope Fatimus Obesius Pope Obesius Phatomisius Pope Fadamus I can't decide I probably should decide on a name uh you know okay well Pope Jephy really doesn't really doesn't work but uh you know I could be voted in as as Jeff and then, you know, be part of the Pope. When they give me the special dispensation,

and I get to wear the Pope hat, and I get to, you know, come out into the square there at the Vatican. I could be Pope Obesius, Fathamus, the first. Pope Fatimus, Obesius. Now, I think it's Obesious. I think it's Pope Obesius. Pope Obesius, Fadamus, the first. That's what it is.

decided. I've talked it through with you. That's my campaign. Vote for me for the next Pope. Pope Obesius, Fatimus, the first. And if you were lucky enough to be one of the people that have the new quarter featuring the late Cherokee principal chief Wilma Man Killer, they had the big celebration yesterday in Oklahoma honoring her move from activist to the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation. The quarter features a portrait of mankiller, wrapped in a traditional shawl with the wind at her back and the seven-pointed star of the Cherokee Nation. It spells out Cherokee Nation in the Cherokee Silulnery.

I want one. So please, if you're in Oklahoma or anywhere, and you have the old mankiller quarter, I want one. I want one bad. The quarter was released yesterday. The same day as a new book, Man Killer Poems, which features early writings by Man Killer that were discovered in a barn in her Oklahoma lands after her death. Oh, come on now.

We have to have a Man Killer poem. Got to find what the Man Killer poem is. She was born in 1945, 6 of 11 children to Charlie Man Killer. and Clara Irene Sitten. The name man-killer refers to a military rank according to the National Women's History Museum website.

All right. Let's see. The poems, well, you of San Francisco. She created Oklahoma two daughters, elected deputy. I want a man-killer poem. Only two other Cherokee Nation citizens,

Sequoia and Mary Golda Ross, have been featured on coins from the U.S. Mint. They both appeared in the Native American dollar coin series in 2017 and 2019, respectively. I want a mankiller quarter. And I want to read some of her poems. I mean, especially after I know that she was part of the occupation of Alcatraz and the Pitt River tribe while attending college out there in San Francisco, that's going to be great. I mean, some of her quotes, although I'm a fan of this quote, an Indian is an Indian, regardless of the degree of Indian blood or which little government card they do or do not possess.

That's good news. It's good news for my oldest son because he's got Cherokee blood and let's get him on the rolls. That was of course quoted from Wilma Man Killer. I will. I will get the poems and we will have a reading on Wilma Mankiller poems. I promise you that. It's the matcha or the three ensemble

Cicot of Cephora of the FACET that I just deniches, who energize o'clock? Mm, it's the ensemble. The format standard and mini-regrouped, call on B'Bemn. And the embellage, too beau, who is practically pre-to-donough. And I know I'd like these offer them,

but I guard the Summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. I'm just the most ensemble of the fairos of the fairies, the fairies, rare beauty, way, Cifora collection, and other part of the VIT. Procurry you, Corma Stendar and Mini,

Those of you listening to the broadcast chewing the fat in your Mercedes-Benz, you may have a recall issue. The recall affects a total of 993,407 vehicles, including 70,000 in Germany alone. They recalled these cars because the vehicles have a little bit of braking issue. They're calling it advanced corrosion. Oh, okay. So they're recalling almost a million older vehicles from around the world for those potential advanced corrosion in the braking system. I don't forget, I mean, they had that big recall, I don't know, last year over their emergency call system, which, you know, usually wasn't online things.

So it probably has been taken care of. But you know what? Stop by your Mercedes dealer and they'll let you, you know, they'll fix it for you. I'm sure that the fix will be for free, but I know that my father-in-law had a Mercedes for a while, and you know, you pretty much drive by the Mercedes dealership and they charge you money. You don't just pull in for nothing. Oh, yeah, well, that's got to be fixed. That's manufacturing.

We can't allow that back on the road without that being fixed. So I would be ready to pay more because they would say, well, yeah, we fixed the recall or the advanced corrosion, but we had to fix these other things too. Sorry, that's going to be $2,000. And I think you'll be happy with the $2,000 pay because it could have been more. So I would be prepared for that. You know, maybe that's just me.

Maybe not. You know, it's possible that you can get through, get through the Mercedes dealership with just the recall fix on the advanced corrosion to the brakes. Maybe, maybe not. I see where my man Harvey Weinstein, You know him, you love them, is blaming Chrysler for being regulated to a walker in recent years. He is filing a lawsuit against the car manufacturer, claiming that in August of 2019,

he was involved in a nasty wreck near Bedford, New York, while riding in one of their jeeps. He says the company provided it so it could make an appearance in one of his films he was working on at the time. unclear which film it was. Anyway, per of the documents, Weinstein says that he was driving the Jeep when he had to swerve to avoid hitting a deer on the road. Weinstein claims that when he attempted to miss the deer, the brake system failed, sent the car rolling.

He was wearing a seatbelt, but still suffered serious injuries, and was rendered paralyzed as a result of the accident. Woof. So, we'll see what happens. he needed back surgery because of a car accident. And now, you know, that's what he said when he was on trial, right? He said that he had back surgery.

And now we know why he had back surgery because of this car wreck. He was not, you know, playing sick or frail for the cameras. So he's assuming he wants at least five million of damages. Will Harvey Weinstein get that? Doubtful, doubtful. And as long as we're talking about crime. you know, and criminals. Bill Cosby, his trial begins today in Los Angeles,

the lawsuit against Houth, right? That's her name. What's her phone? Judy Houth. He's not going to be there. Bill's not going to show up. He's blindness and the recent COVID-19 spike. Yeah, I'm 84, and I'm not going to be attending the trial.

New, thank you. This is the accuser that says he sexually assaulted her at the Playboy Mansion when she was a teenager. Okay. So, I remember this story now. But Bill's not going to be there. And so, look, he has a choice to be there or not be there. And look, he's blind. COVID numbers are back up.

I'm not going to attend. I don't need to face her. This whole thing is ridiculous. That was me speaking, not Bill. so apparently remember 1975 when she was 16 he took her to the playboy mansion according to miss hooth and of course bill has denied all allegations and admitted to meeting her at the playboy mansion but insisted it was years later and there was there's been all kinds of inconsistencies in her recollection so we'll see if this actually comes to fruition or not i know bill's you know

working on that bad guy character, but in court we're supposed to go by what is the truth, right? I think that's the way it's supposed to work. And Kevin Spacey, you know him, you love him. His lawsuit is still ongoing. The man who claims the actor sexually abused him when he was a teenager, the federal judge said, yeah, that truck can move forward. No problem. Oh, okay.

Anthony Rapp said that in his opinion, denying Spacey's request to toss the suit out completely. Rap claims that Spacey sexually assaulted him in an encounter in Manhattan in 1986 when he was 14 years of age. Now, Kevin says, hey, okay, I'm happy to show up in the United Kingdom. The Civil litigation was brought under New York's Child Victims Act, which allows victims of sex. abuse alleged. It doesn't say alleged in this particular story, but that's what it is. It allows victims of alleged sex abuse to file suit in most cases, regardless of how long ago it occurred. So there's no statute of limitations. Uh, I know the sexual assault allegation in rap suit is barred with the statute of limitations, but all the other claims,

including the third degree sexual abuse can move four. forward. Authorities in the United Kingdom said they charged Spacey with four counts of sexual assault against three separate men. And Spacey said he would voluntarily appear in UK court to face those charges. So we'll see. He said he was disappointed with their decision to move forward. I'll appear. I am confident I will prove my innocence. Okay. All right. Let's see if that actually comes to fruition. We'll see. And my think one of my favorite stories in the crime pile is a convicted killer uh we accidentally released from uh washington prison yeah we just let him go so he was accidentally released from a western

washington prison uh the prosecutor first handled the case uh we got to get a war we got to get this we got to get this man back into custody uh the victim's family recalls to release a colossal mistake yeah no kidding so he was he pleaded guilty to killing this man in 2015 was sentenced to 28 years in prison. However, there was a contested hearing last Friday where the court decided to re-sentence Bennett to account for his youth when the murder happened. He was 17 at the time of the crime. And it appears that the Department of Corrections misinterpreted the order and released him. Now, they say, hey, hey, hey, it was not done in error because his sentence was labeled as vacated and he had no more time to serve.

So they let him go. Have a nice day. Take care. Get out of here. Now, they realized that was, you know, of what happened. So they don't want it to happen again. Now, they ended up getting a warrant and contacting the U.S. Marshal Service and he has been returned to custody.

So he didn't go on the run as, I don't know if he, gets set free by mistake saying that it was vacated and goes on the run. Technically, he's not on the run, right? But they did bring him back into custody. So, oops. Sorry.

Didn't mean to put the wrong stamp on that paperwork, but we did. And so we just let him go. That is just almost unbelievable. out of today's world. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide,

hustling for great deals on amazing gifts, so you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rushes too.

And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshall's. We get the deals. You gift for good stuff. So just a reminder that the national average as of this broadcast on 6-7, 2022, the national average for gasoline is $4.91 a gallon.

So have fun filling up your car or have fun, at least, you know, stopping in and putting in a quick $10 or $15, you know, putting in a couple of gallons just to get you to get you to. to and from work. Believe me, I know how frustrating that is. We also have Germany airlifting baby formula to Texas. I mean, wow. A plane carrying more than 110,000 pounds of specialty baby formula from Germany is expected

to land in Fort Worth later this week. Just incredible that we have to have foreign countries deliver food to a America now. And it's almost a slap in the face of Texans. Because, and this, I wouldn't put it past this administration to make it, you know, on purpose coming to Fort Worth. But, you know, good. I don't, I don't want the mothers not to have food for their babies.

I just don't. But the air shipment is part of the Operation Fly formula. Ugh. Just incredible. 110,000 pounds of Nestle's NAA Supreme Pro Stage 1, Infant Formula, enough for 1.6 million 8-ounce bottles will arrive in Fort Worth tomorrow, which is the, no, Thursday, the 9th of June 2022. So, I mean, I guess we have a big, Nestle's and Gerber will distribute the product around the country. We've got big Nestle's plant here, so I'm sure that's why it's coming here. But good, I know the flights are intended to provide some relief, and absolutely it needs to provide relief.

It just irks me. A, we're America and we have to count on, you know, Germany to deliver baby formula. And B, it has to be delivered here in Texas. But, you know, that's just me. I know. It's almost too political for this show. I get it.

I'm sorry. I apologize. I know that, you know, there's other news out there that, talks about more than 82 million COVID-19 vaccines have reportedly been thrown out because of, you know, the way the nature of the vaccine, all doses have to be used within hours of being opened or discarded. In some cases, the shots expired while sitting on shelves or went bad because of power outages or broken freezers. CVS and Walmart were responsible for over a quarter of the thrown out doses.

And now experts are demanding, demand for vaccines is dropping. They're saying, the number of people wanting the vaccine has dropped quite a bit. Really? Yeah. And they throw in the Memorial Day weekend. COVID-19 cases were about six times higher

than they were a year ago. Well, yes, they were. How about the deaths, though? Were they down? Yes, of course they were down. But so? So what? Okay, big deal.

I mean, this administration, man. I know I'm going to get, I could almost get really political. And I'm not going to because I try not to do that here on chewing the fat. It just drives me insane. I know you get enough of it from everywhere you turn. It's almost unstoppable with politics involving in our daily lives. And I try not to because it's overwhelming. And I get it.
