Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. So it's having a pretty good day today. You know, it's Wednesday.

So I did Chewing the Fat on Pat Gray's show. hung out for overtime on his show with Blaze TV. And then I got ready to do Chewing the Fat here with you. And then I find out that my car just got recalled. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Okay, you're probably wondering, hey, why your car got recalled? Yeah, Ferrari is recalling nearly every car had sold since 2005.

That's it, though. Now, for sure, Ferraris are known for, you know, going fast and having fun driving them. But one of the things that you want to do when you're driving fast is break. And there seems to be a break problem with the Ferraris. Oh, okay. No problem. Yeah, it's a potential break failure issue with all the cars dating back to 2005, 19 of its models. That is not good.

The issue relates to, you can quote me on that too, by the way. That is not good. The issue relates to the brake fluid reservoir cap, which may not vent properly, creating a vacuum inside the brake fluid reservoir, resulting in a break fluid leak that may lead to a partial or total loss of brake function. Oh, okay. Well, that's 23,55 Ferraris. are implicated and will need to be serviced,

which is nearly all of them. So if you like me, I like to just zip around town in your Ferrari. There's nothing I like more than going 35 miles an hour and my Ferrari that can go 160 miles an hour. You have a problem and you've got a recall, so be sure to take it in potential possible break issues. So I've been thinking about this all night long.

not the Ferrari recall. I saw a post on social media. I may have been Facebook and the Chew and the Fat Fan Club. Not sure. It could have been Twitter at Jeffrey JFR or Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio or Instagram. It wasn't Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. But the question was,

you have to survive 20 minutes in a UFC cage with one of them to win $50 million. Pick one. and there's six pictures of animals that you have to say yes to. You can pick one, obviously. That's what the question is. To win 50 million, 20 minutes. Now, 20 minutes is a long time.

I mean, I would say 10 minutes, you know, 50 million, 10 minutes lasting with these animals, you know, maybe. But 20 minutes is a long time to be in the cage with these animals. But the first one is a tiger. The second one is a bear. the third one is a rhinoceros the fourth one is a hippopotamus the fifth one is a gorilla and the sixth one is a bull

and I've been thinking about this all night since I saw this so the tiger no way 20 minutes in a UFC cage no way the tiger the tiger can jump up around the cage and come at you in all directions the bear same kind of thing the bear stands up it'd be tough for you to get away

from the bear the rhinoceros No, thank you. I do not want the rhino charging me. That's a tough one. Hypoponomuses, too. Hypoponimuses are mean. You don't want to mess with them. And gorillas are just so strong.

And they can travel all around the cage on the walls. So the one I guess you'd have to pick is the bull, right? You'd have to go with the bull for 20 minutes. Because the bull can only horn you. You know, he's going to charge at you. The bull can't. climb up the cage sides. So, you know, maybe the bull can come up a little ways,

but it'd be very difficult for the bull to happen. It's got to be the bull. Plus, you can hop on the back of the bull. You know, hopefully it doesn't throw you off and stomp on you to death and then goar you with the horns. But the best one has got to be the bull. And for 50 million bucks, I mean, you'd have to, you'd have to really think about that because, I mean,

you're going to die if you don't. Really, Jeff? Yeah. I believe that's the point of the question. So 20 minutes. I mean, I'm still going to say, hey, if you offer me 50 million to get in a UFC cage with one of these animals,

a tiger, bear, a rhino, a hippo, a gorilla, or a bull, how about we make it 10 minutes for 25 mil? Because 10 minutes, I mean, I feel like 10 minutes is doable. You can write your own jokes with that. But I'm just saying I feel like 10 minutes is doable. But 20 minutes, oh, man. You better do some hard training for that. And I think it's going to have to be the bull.

I don't think you could win with any other animal. Depending on how mean, you know, if they cattle prodded the rhino and the hippo, you might be able to calm it down enough to save yourself and just kind of ride on the back of it for 20 minutes. Maybe. Maybe. And you might be able to do that with the bull, too. But I feel like the bull is your best bet.

So you can always email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. And, you know, let me know which one you would choose. But I believe that of the six, for 20 minutes and $50 million, the best one to pick would be the bull. And as long as we're talking about animals, I might as well talk about. Yesterday we talked about the Bigfoot and how the lady in Ohio had recorded a Bigfoot. We played the audio for you and doesn't.

If you believe it, you believe it. That's fine. But I was looking at this site, a geographic database of Bigfoot Sasquatch sightings and reports. It doesn't talk about swamp ape, but I mean, that's what you have in Florida, right? So you have the top states. You have Washington, which has 7007 sightings in

2020. And then you have number two is California, 458, Florida, Swamp 8, 377, and Ohio at 318. Now, all the other states

actually have sightings. There have been sightings. Amazingly, Rhode Island only has five, but they have been seen in Rhode Island. Is that the lowest? Rhode Island has five. North Dakota has six. Delaware.

Delaware has five as well. So Delaware and Rhode Island both have five. They're the lowest sighting states. But then it has also Canada sightings, which is pretty incredible. So Nova Scotia only has three. I mean, that's well below Delaware and Rhode Island. Quebec only has four again. Yukon ties with five.

But British Columbia has 134, which makes sense since that's right there by, you know, up in the northwest. And it's by Washington, which has the most sightings. And so, I mean, they're stood in the same neck of the woods. So you've got plenty. Ontario has 68. It's just incredible to me. Now, Michigan has 225. I remember growing up in Michigan talking about I grew up right here.

If you're wholly up my head, I grew up right here. right there in Sagina, you know, up there by the bay at the thumb. And it, you know, there were talks of Bigfoot around that neck of the woods, especially up on the thumb. And so it doesn't surprise me that Michigan is high up on the list. But it's just amazing to me that we have all these sightings. Now, even if you say, okay, these all can't be real, right? there's no way that these all can be real.

But doesn't it mean that maybe some of them are, that we actually do have actual Bigfoot sightings? And if we do, how come we don't see, you know, where they live, their homes? We don't see any of the Bigfoot do-do anywhere. We don't, you know, we hear them hollering looking for, they're looking for biddenness out in the woods. That's it. but you'd think that I've heard some stories where they're in their own realm.

Let's see, like another dimension, right? They come from another dimension into our dimension, show up, give us a couple of howls, and then when they see a human, they're gone back into their dimension. So. Would you rather fight a Sasquot than a bull or a bear or a rhino or a hippopotamus or a tiger? I don't know. I think I'm still going with the bull. All right. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh, my goodness.

You know what's not fair? The fact that Netflix hides thousands of shows and movies from you based on your location. and then they have the nerve to increase their prices. That's right. They've just raised their prices once again. We've talked about that before here on chewing the fat.

Abou-A-M-O-M-O. Amorpha-Falus. Yeah, that's it. He was found guilty of accessing the personal information of users who critiqued the Saudi Arabian government and handing it over to a top advisor of the Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salaman. In exchange, Abouamal. Amorpha Phalas. Yeah. Received $300,000 in wire transfers and a luxury watch.

That's what they claim. Wow. He faces 10 to 20 years in prison. For only $300,000 and a luxury watch, that's cheap. I mean, the old Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, why can I can't even say his stupid name? Mohammed bin Salman, bin Salman. That's cheap for him, the Crown Prince.

300 grand, he spits on $300,000. That's just under the heading of no big deal. also Ford jacking up the price of its F-150 lightning, the automaker said that new orders of its highly anticipated EV pickup truck, well, that's going to cost six to almost $9,000 more due to higher material costs and, you know, other factors. That means the base model will now start at nearly $47,000. Cost of raw materials for making EVs has more than doubled during COVID.

forcing companies including GM, Tesla, Arrivian, and Lucid to raise the prices on their vehicles. Huh, that's how it works, huh? So the products that you use to make the product, when it costs more, you have to charge more. You just don't eat those prices. Weird. Really weird. Anyway, no big deal.

And really under the heading of, well, isn't that interesting? I see where Albuquerque has arrested a 51-year-old man for the murder of two Muslim men and consider him a suspect in the killings of two other Muslim men in the city. Now, I know our president has tweeted out that these hateful attacks have no place in America. And my administration stands strongly with the Muslim community. Oh, okay. I know that you are, you know, angered and saddened by these horrific killings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque, Mr. President. But isn't it interesting that the man that they arrested, and I had a feeling this was the case because the original story was that they suspect was arrested.

And they didn't mention, you know, if it was who it was, there was no picture, nothing. It was just like a suspect has been arrested. Oh, really? Yeah. The man was a Sunni Muslim and targeted the victims because he was angry over his daughter marrying a Shiite Muslim. Huh. Isn't that interesting when we were just, you know, I realize it's horrific. And I don't want anybody to be murdered at all.

Zero. I want all murders to cease. No matter how. No matter how they're killed, I want them to cease. However, we're led to believe that this was white supremacy, a MAGA country, hating Muslims. We stand strong with the Muslim community, and yet these murders were done by another Muslim,

a different kind of Muslim who was upset that his daughter was going to marry the other kind of Muslim. We can't have that. They just, they just, they just convicted a guy here in Dallas for the same thing. I just, it's just amazing. You know what? It's under the heading of, isn't that interesting? And one more thing that's interesting, or, you know, another interesting thing. CNBC ranked each state on 88 different metrics across 10 categories with each category carrying different weight.

in the ranking, the workforce category, which includes the concentration of STEM workers, workers with college degrees, employees and associate degrees, and people with industry-recognized certificates carrying the most weight, representing 16% of the total score. The workforce metric was Texas best-performing category with the state ranking second nationwide. However, Texas ranks as one of the best states for business and one of the worst places to live in in the United States of America. Oh, okay. The Lone Star State is the fifth best place for business in the country, but it is the second

worst place to live in. That's what the rankings show, just saying, okay. They ranked these states, they considered the infrastructure, cost of doing business, life, health, and inclusion, business friendliness, education, the cost. cost of living in its rankings, North Carolina, Washington, Virginia, and Colorado were ranked first through fourth, respectively, as the best states for business. CNBC used the life health and inclusion category to determine the best and worst places to live in the U.S.

The rankings measured per capita crime rates, environmental quality, protections against discrimination, voting rights, and health care quality, among other metrics. Texas ranked 49th on the list, making it the second. worst place to live in the United States. Texas was given a score of 72 out of 325 in this category and received a grade of F. The state had no strengths in this metric. Arizona was ranked the worst place in the U.S. to live after Texas. Oklahoma, South Carolina, Missouri, rounded out the five worst states to live in in the country.

guess which one was number one Vermont coming in at number one Vermont the best place to live followed by Maine Hawaii North Dakota and Minnesota so the states where everybody's moving Texas Oklahoma South Carolina Missouri yeah we went ahead and

rank those those are the worst places to live sorry I wish you liked it here but it's just bad boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea.

Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Boarding will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating. 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly concerned by your gambling or that if someone close you, call

18665-3-3-2-60 or visit Comex Ontario.ca. Oh no. Oh no. Sad news. I mean, really, I should put this under, Who died today? Who died today? Domino's.

Domino's pizza. Dead. In Italy. The last 29 dominoes branches in Italy have officially closed. Oh, no. I mean, they began operations in the pizza motherland, Italy in 2015. but yeah they had plans for hundreds almost a thousand restaurants there but ooh not so fast

sorry uh we can't do it they never took never got a foothold and they even tried to say hey but we're using italian ingredients and uh we're using locally sourced stuff and we'll be good and then and new uh even during the covid lockdown with uh home delivery because you know even in Italy with local delivery, you know, rare in the lockdown, you'd figure, okay, it would did okay. But no, people wanted the less dominozy style pizzas at the house, even during the lockdown. So the Italian franchise partner, E Pizza Spa, filed for bankruptcy in April. Have a nice day. So Domino's.

That's been in 2015 in the open. seven years, six and a half years, we'll give them seven. We'll say they were seven years old. Dominoes in Italy, dead at the age of seven. So I love how ever so often we get the stories from the airlines,

you know, that we have to keep our phones shut off. And why do we have to keep our phone shut off? Well, because it could interfere with communications between the airplane and the tower. Oh, really? Yeah, well, we have flight attendants now giving TikTok videos showing why passengers are always asked to switch off their mobiles. And they have to do it, and why?

I might shock you if you didn't have your phone shut off. And from the moment the boarding door closes to the moment the landing, the pilots are following specific instructions given to them from a group of people on the ground called air traffic control. Thank you. Appreciate it. What's your name again? Sierra.

And that can't be Sierra Mist on TikTok. Stop it. So anyway, they're saying that, you know, this is how bad it could be. A pilot who's taking directions from the ATC on the ground. All of a sudden loses signal and starts flying blindly. All because the frequency of a passenger's phone was interoperable. rejected. No.

A commercial pilot who wished to remain anonymous said, yeah, you know, yeah, mitigate any possible interference to sensitive airplane systems. Yeah, the radio signals are the same frequencies used by cell phones and tablets. Yeah, you know, the radios for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, voice calling, 3G, 4G, G, 5G data, all use different parts of the radio frequency spectrum. That's weird because I have left my plane on my phone on during a flight, especially on private flights and chartered flights where they don't ask you to shut your phones off or your tablets off. This is just amazing. And I have on regular domestic flights, you know, flying with the unwashed masses, of which I am one,

left my phone on. And it seems that the planes have landed miraculously. So maybe the pilots are just extra special that I've been flying with. Or maybe, you know, it's just an issue that you like to bring up to keep people off their phones. Because maybe you find yourself, concern yourself with finding people's luggage and not losing their luggage. How about that?

I just saw a story, though, that talked about. about how the Apple Air Tag. It's just an ad for Apple Air Tag. It's a story about Apple Air Tag. But it's actually a great idea. This guy talked about buying the $29 Apple Air Tag to track his luggage on two buses and a plane. And he said he'd never travel without one again.

It's actually a great idea to have a tag that you have on so that you follow your luggage. So you know where it is? Hello? You do that? your dogs. You do that to your kids. Wait, you don't do that to your kids?

Oh, okay, never mind. But I was looking at the numbers of what the luggage lost a holy cow. Perhaps you want to put an air tag on that luggage. Now, I'm not big on checking. I'd rather carry on carry on and move on with my life, on and off the plane. But sometimes you have to, I know. Sometimes you're forced to. So go ahead and, you know, air tag it, no problem.

But one lady talked about, and this is the part of the story, which is the ad for the Apple Air Tag. I used an air tag and found my lost luggage carrying $10,000 worth of belongings. So, I mean, that's good news, right? But I know the numbers. I mean, you're looking at some of the numbers of, lost luggage and missing luggage and with planes being canceled and diverted, you know, it's easy for them to misplace.

I say lose. Misplace your luggage. You don't want to do any of that. My son just flew back in from Mexico and the flight was supposed to be in Austin. It's supposed to land in Austin, Texas. However, the Austin, Texas customs. counter was closed so they couldn't land at Austin. They had to land in Dallas, Texas. So they landed at DFW. Now, they landed in DFW. They live in Austin. And I'm sure most of the people who were flying on

that plane with them back from Mexico lived in Austin, Texas. They didn't want to land in DFW. But since the customs desk was closed at Austin, they had to come to Dallas. Now they said, oh, we're going to land at night. and we can't get you out of here tonight. So you can stay and DFW will get you on a flight later, probably tomorrow morning, something like that, maybe. Oh, as soon as we can. There's no tell and when. And then, or, you know, what you could do what they did,

and that's rent a car and, you know, bite the bullet and drive to Austin from DFW. And thankfully they were able to get a run a car because then it would have been me driving them at midnight from DFW to Austin. But fortunately, they got a run. rent a car. However, I'm just saying maybe the airlines could work on that. How about

to help us out on that? And maybe they'll say, oh, that's not us. We don't control the customs. We're just trying to help our clients out. Oh, okay. Great. No problem, then. How about your seating? How about that? I saw a big story where the FAA wants to know what you really think

about its size of airplane seats. They're too small. Okay? There. Okay. You got it? All right, good. So the agency hopes to start a 90-day public comment period on the minimum seat dimensions necessary for airline passenger safety. If you were concerned about airline passenger safety and not squeezing in as many airline passengers as you could, you wouldn't be asking that question. but the half of passengers, according to this story, cannot fit in today's economy seats. According to flyersright.org. We have to talk to flyerswrites.org, President Paul Hudson here.

Half the passengers cannot fit in today's economy seats. I mean, they're a tight squeeze. I will say, you know, I can fit. But it's definitely questionable fat guy seating. The seats over the past 40 years have shrunk, according to Paul Hudson, president of flyersrights.com. The pitch or the legroom has gone from 35 inches down to as little as 28 inches. The width of the seat has also shrunk from about an average of 18 and a half inches down to 16 or 17 inch width on many airlines. they said that they had 857,000 cases of deep vein thrombosis and about 800 fatalities

explained as a result of passengers in cramped seating on planes for long periods of time. That's what I had. That's what I had. Do I get a payment for that? I had a deep vein thrombosis from sitting on the plane. So once the comment period begins, let's see if it has begun. Let's go to regulations.gov. Regulations.gov.

That's www. Regulations.gov. All the stuff, honey. Minimum seat dimensions necessary for safety air passengers. Here we go. All right. Posted by the federal August 2nd, 2022. Yeah, it's up.

All right. So you can post your comment. there you go nice so let me is this how you post your comments they're too small I think that's how you do it

I think that's how you do it I was looking at how they're doing because I feel like the airlines are not doing as good as they want to be doing but they're getting the numbers through the turnstile you know we used to do a thing

and check the TSA checkpoint numbers during the pandemic obviously you know, during 2020 when the airlines were pretty much shut down. And so we're back, 2019 levels, pre-pandemic. Yesterday,

today is the 10th of August, 2022. So the 9th of August, 2022 had 2,029,681 people through the turnstile. In 2019, pre-pandemic numbers, 2,000 or 2 million and $3006,829.

I mean, that's, you know, 300,000, not even $290,000 less than what it was pre-pandemic. That's pretty good. That's pretty good, I would say. So, quit, I mean, they've cut flights. And now with that, I mean, we've cut flights. We've cut destinations because they let people go during the pandemic. and now they don't have enough pilots,

they don't have enough flight attendants. So how about this? How about you make the seats bigger? And you don't lose my luggage. Thank you. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything.

So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no.

So good news, Norwegian cruise lines will no longer require customers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and will loosen, loosen, loosen, loosen, it's testing rules beginning in September. Yay, not right now, though, but beginning September 3rd, vaccinated guests, age 12 and older, will no longer have to abide by any pre-cruz COVID-19 related protocols.

Unvaccinated guests, we're going to drag behind the ship in a little booing. No, we're not doing that. The unvaccinated guests are going to be permitted to embark once they have provided a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours prior to departure. Children under 12 will have no test. or vaccination requirements. Our long-awaited revisions to our testing and vaccination requirements bring us closer in line with the rest of society, which has learned to adapt and live with COVID-19 and

makes it simpler and easier for our loyal guests to cruise on and our three best-in-class brands. Norwegian President CEO Frank Del Rio said in his statement, and of course, remember, health and safety are always our top priority. Yeah. But another thing that's our priority is getting people onto our ships. And please come back to cruise. Our cruise lines. Please, that would be wonderful.

We need that to happen as best we can. Okay, thank you. Yes. We also know that we have a new virus out there now that you don't want. You don't want none of that. that. Okay, I know, you know, we don't want COVID. We don't want COVID-19. I don't care what number you give it. We don't want that. We don't want the pox, which we'll get to some of the new pox numbers, but this is called Langya, L-A-N-G-Y-A. Langia belongs to a family of viruses that are

known to kill 75% of cases. None of the cases in two Chinese provinces so far have resulted in people dying, though. Experts believe the virus was passed on by animals, including shrews. And you don't want to know the shrew virus. Doctors have raised the alarm over a brand new virus that has infected dozens of people in China. The Langya Hennepavirus, or the Levy, detected in 35 people in the country's eastern Hennon and Shengdong provinces. So it hasn't killed. anybody yet. It's been

shown up. We figured it came to humans from animals and it's mostly, what is it, from shrews. Yeah, you don't want none of the shrew virus. We don't want that at all. So just be on the lookout

for the Langia virus. I see where we have now evidence. So those are the new. We've got we got COVID. We've got Langia. We've got monkeypox, which we'll get to in a second, and we've got pathogens that they found now in ancient DNA could help explain the fall of two civilizations. A team of researchers have said that they found evidence of pathogens in the teeth of individuals from the Bronze Age that could explain why two ancient civilizations failed. They described their genetic study of teeth found inside the cave of the island of Crete.

And prior research has shown that the Old Kingdom of Egypt and the Acadian Empire, both Bronze Age civilizations experienced sudden declines in population several thousand years ago. And we're going to be able to tell you if it was monkeypox or if it wasn't monkeypox. If you look at the monkeypox numbers now, amazingly, We're at here in the United States of America. How many monkeypox do we have right now? Well, worldwide, we have 31,800 total. And in countries that have not historically reported monkeypox, 31,425,

so most of them are coming from countries that have not historically reported monkeypox. And 375 countries that have historically reported monkeypox. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, we got that, blah, blah, blah. So most of the countries that are showing up with big numbers of monkeypox are countries that haven't usually had it or had it in the past. So let's see. The U.S. of a United States of America. Where are you at?

9,492 cases according to the CDC. So we're booming. We're booming. I think that makes us number one, right? Spain has 5,000, a little over 5,000. The rest are all, you know, there's some triple digits in there. 2,982 in Germany, 2,423 in France. But we're number one.

2,131 in Brazil. You'd expect more in Brazil, but, you know, I guess not. The United States is still booming. The United States coming in at number one. 9,492. the United Kingdom has almost 3,000 as well. And as a side note, just as a side note, that's all, just as a side note. One in five gay men who got monkeypox had sex with 10 or more people before getting infected.

That's according to the CDC. So nearly 20% of gay men who are contracting monkeypox in the United States reported having 10 or more partners in the three weeks before symptom onset, according to the new report from the CDC. Virtually all monkeypox cases in the U.S., which have data available, 99% are in men. 99% are in men. The report also found that 94% are in men who have sex with other men.

The overwhelming majority had multiple sex partners in the weeks leading up to their symptoms. So how could you not get monkeypox? I mean, how could you not get monkeypox?
