Starting point is 00:00:00 With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So, Hyundai and Kia are telling owners of some of their large SUVs, hey, you ought to park those outdoors.
Starting point is 00:00:30 and you know what, park them away from buildings. Yeah, we've had a little problem with some wiring issues, and they tend to start on fire. Oh, okay, thank you. They're recalling 281,000 vehicles in the United States because of the problem. And the good news is they haven't figured out how to fix it yet. Yeah, that's it, though. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:00:57 There hasn't been, look, there hasn't been any crap. ashes is just fires and melting incidents. That's it. So more than 245,000 Hyundai Palisades and over 36,000 Kia tellurides from 2020 to 2022 model years. They believe that moisture and debris accumulate in a circuit board in the tow hitch wiring that can cause an electrical short, which can lead to a fire. The dealers will inspect the wiring and remove a fuse as an interim repair. And look, it's just an interim repair. Once we figure out, you know, what to fix, we'll go ahead and fix it. So leave us alone until then.
Starting point is 00:01:47 So if you're driving one of those vehicles, take it in and be sure to park it outdoors and away from the house. Okay? All right, good. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. I'm a little distressed. Chipotle, Chipotle, is it Chipotle? Chipotle, Chipotle, Chipotle. Has a new deal out from their website.
Starting point is 00:02:22 That's a buy one, get one free offer. You can go to their website and ace a quiz on the website, and then you get the buy one, get one free offer. and it runs through August 26th, 2022. So I went to the website to try my luck at the old quiz for the buy one, get one free, Chip-O-Lay, and to no avail. 100,000 Chippole Brainiacs got here first,
Starting point is 00:02:49 so unfortunately we're out of Bogos for now. Stay tuned to fresh batch drops at 9 a.m. Pacific. You can still play a chance to win $500 chip-o-le gift card, Answer all 10 questions correctly and ace the extra credit and you're entered to win. Oh, okay. Well, let's see what we've got to answer. Okay. I probably won't win.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Chipotle IQ test, extra credit. So you think you know Chipotle. Let's put your knowledge to the test. I don't know Chipotle. I'm sorry. We add flame roasted tamaltillos. Tamalotillos. to our tamaltalo green chili salsa to give it a deep smoky flavor and use it in our hot tamaltolo red chili.
Starting point is 00:03:41 I know I'm pronouncing that wrong, so just back off me, okay? I know that it's not. Amorphophalus. Anyway, they use it in their hot tamaltolo red chili salsa to balance the spice level with its tartness. What region do we have to think for the wonderful tamaltolo? Japan, Spain, Mexico and Central America, none of the above. I would say that the Tamaltolo comes from Spain, but it's probably Mexico and Central America. Spain?
Starting point is 00:04:15 Ah, that's wrong. Gosh, darn it. Yeah, it's the Mexican. That's what I figured. All right. So I'm out. I'm not going to win. Gosh, darn it.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Darn the luck. I won't be able to get a buy one, get one free offer from a restaurant I don't go to. Have been to one? multiple times in my life, but I don't go out of my way to go to Chipotle. Two restaurants I know I'm not going to in the Fort Worth area,
Starting point is 00:04:41 of which I live in the DFW area, chicken express on Bridgewood Drive and Chubby's Burger Shack, which are both places that I may stop or would have until now. Both were shut down by city inspectors after they found,
Starting point is 00:04:59 problems and serious enough to warrant their closure. And you get graded by demerits. We've covered that before. The more demerits, the higher the score. Restaurants receiving more than 30 demerits are required to fix the worst problems immediately and clean up the rest within 48 hours, while a score, of course, zero is perfect. Chicken Express at Bridgewater was shut down after inspectors found roaches crawling on the wall of the wear washing area, inside a bulk flour container, in the wheels of the trash, and in bulk
Starting point is 00:05:35 containers in the kitchen. That does not sound good. Chubby's Burger Shack, which has a restaurant and lounge side of business, only had three violations, but was forced to close because poor ventilation. Other than the issue with ventilation, the inspector noted that a certified food protection manager was either not employed by the business or was not available. Oh, gosh darn it. We couldn't get a hold of the certified food protection manager for a chubby's burger shack. So I can't stop there now because of poor ventilation.
Starting point is 00:06:12 I can't go to Chicken Express at Bridgewater because of roaches crawling everywhere. And we've talked about it before. It's a fine line, a fine line between restaurants and. and the food that they serve us. Most of the time, we don't want to know. I don't want to know. If I stopped into Chicken Express, if I chopped into Chicken Express,
Starting point is 00:06:35 and I made my order, and I looked up and I looked back, because most of them you can see, not that I've ever been to one before, you can see what's happening back there. And if you happen to see, I don't know, roaches crawling on the wall, I probably would cancel my order.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Probably. That's just me, though. And as far as, as Chubby's Burger Shack goes, I, you know, I still might stop into Chubbies, although they had to be closed down. Because of poor ventilation. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:04 I mean, so the guy making my burger can't breathe. So, how's my burger? I know, that's kind of the way I feel. It's that fine line. I also was reading about shelf life of different items and thinking about, you know, when we have stuff go out of date. how long does something have to be out of date in your pantry before you actually throw it away?
Starting point is 00:07:33 Because, I mean, I've looked in my pantry a few times. There's been a few things that are really outdated. And he's going, okay, well, we've got to throw it away, I guess. But if it were, you know, I don't know, walking dead world, would you throw it away? I don't think so. I don't think it would. I was looking at this list of, you know, Brown, rice, hot sauce, vanilla extract, pretzels, and tomato paste.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Pretzels and chips and tomato paste. How long their shelf life is? And pretzels and chips, two months. I know I have pretzels and chips in my pantry older than two months. As long as the bag is either unopened or closed tightly, that stuff is still fresh. Now, they do go stale. I'll give you that. And time to time that happens.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Brown rice, six months. okay uh tomato paste 12 to 18 months and i've got tomato paste that top of tomato paste in my pantry man you can't get enough of tomato paste hot sauce five years five years for hot sauce uh real vanilla extract indefinitely oh there you go that's expensive stuff these days too and so is everything jeff i know but specifically vanilla extract and of course that assumes that you're not opening them Well, that's what I was talking about with the chips. Even unopened chips at a certain point go stale. I know, I get it.
Starting point is 00:09:03 But for the most part, they're pretty fresh for a long time. And you can still eat them, even if they're on that stale line. Not that I've ever done that. But at some point, they're a little bit too stale. Like, okay, enough is enough. That's at least got to go. But it's going to take more than two months. and then you're talking about expiration dates on products.
Starting point is 00:09:27 I mean, there's some stuff that I feel like the expiration date is suggestion. Not necessarily a real thing. The company may differ with my interpretation, but I believe that some of that stuff, come on now, it's got to be still good. You can quote me on that. Come on now. It's got to be still good. All right, let's go to the break room.
Starting point is 00:09:51 I need something cold to drink. Oh. Wow, Starbucks under fire again. Union workers accused the coffee chain of closing two locations in Seattle and Kansas to stop them from unionizing. Now, more than 220 Starbucks stores in the U.S. have voted to unionize in hopes of brewing, brew, brew, I can't even say the word. Amorphophalus. No, that's.
Starting point is 00:10:34 not what it is. It's brewing. Better job conditions. Now, Starbucks says it's closing stores due to safety concerns, but union members say the company's move has sent a message loud and clear on how far they'll go to stop workers from unionizing. Well, 220 stores have voted to unionize and they shut down two stores. Wow, that is a loud and clear message. It's a loud and clear message. It's a loud and clear message for me yet in the other direction. But, you know, I realize that's just me. And they, did you see the Starbucks? I mean, people are protesting Starbucks because of their vegan milk charges.
Starting point is 00:11:18 They're pissed because of the vegan upcharge. And so they've got, and the vegan upcharge on plant-based milks. It's the horrificness of that. That will not stand. So protesters in Nashville, showed up and they don't want to the coffee giant to stop charging extra for non-dairy milk options. You bastards. So they put on cement shoes and blocked the driveways of this Nashville Starbucks,
Starting point is 00:11:56 and they were protesting for Starbucks to end the vegan upcharge. Now, the participants were arrested. because they had to shut it up shutting down the entire street. A dozen police cars there. You can see the photos of them in their cement blocks with their protest signs wrapped in warning tape. But I find it funny that they were built so that the people would just slide their feet in and out.
Starting point is 00:12:27 So you could step out of the protesting cement block shoes. one protester though had to be taken to the hospital i know i know it was sad she had foot pain oh no oh no now one guy refused to leave his block and he they arrested him and charged him with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass yeah no you can't uh you can't stop the company from having business you can go ahead and protest but you're blocking the driveway with your cement boots your fake cement boots No, that cannot happen. So I know Pita is all for this. They have endorsed the tactics of drop the upcharge.
Starting point is 00:13:13 According to Pita, even Paul McCartney has endorsed his tactics. Okay, if you say so, McCartney wrote in a letter first published on Billboard.com, I sincerely hope that for the future of the planet and animal welfare, you are able to implement this policy. Me too. Man, stop. the upcharge, okay?
Starting point is 00:13:35 Adding a splash of any alt milk to brewed coffee, iced coffee, cold brew, and Americano beverages is offered free of charge. What? Oh my gosh. So stop the upcharge. Customers can add a splash of the alternative of milk to their drinks for free. Again, like I said,
Starting point is 00:14:02 but it charges an additional fee for more than a splash. So if you want more than a splash, you've got to pay for it. I believe you can quote me on that as well. If you want more than a splash, you got to pay for it. Now, what PETA is really pissed about is that they believe that the cows used for dairy are forcibly inseminated, raped. Workers insert an arm into the cow's rectum and metal rod to deliver. semen into her vagina and then their beloved calves are torn away from them so that the milk meant
Starting point is 00:14:39 to nourish their babies can be used by humans oh first of all if that's true i i almost care i almost care but i guess i probably should care more but i i don't plus i'd like to know who's paying for the fake cement boots. They're making getting cement blocks for protesters to slide their feet into to pretend like they're in cement blocks while they're protesting.
Starting point is 00:15:10 That stuff isn't free. Okay? So maybe you save your money on the cement blocks and spend it on the upcharge. But again, that's probably just me. What is happening with actor Gary Bussie Bucce, Bussie, Bussie, Bussie,
Starting point is 00:15:27 BUSC, BUSC, you know Gary. I know he's a strange inch cat anyway, but he was arrested. He's 78 years old now. Wow. He was arrested for purportedly committing a crime during a horror movie and memorabilia fan convention held in New Jersey. He was arrested in charge with sex crimes.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Two counts of fourth degree criminal sexual content, contact, one count of attempted criminal sexual contact, and one count of harassment. Wow. So, I don't know, the investigation is ongoing. Gary Eusey says, nothing happened. He flatly denies he sexually assaulted anyone. He spoke briefly with a celebrity reporter at a gas station, and he claimed that none of the things he was accused of doing had actually happened.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I know Gary is a strange cat anyway, so it's possible. that, you know, you got to believe him, right? Innocent until proven guilty. However, then we have pictures of Gary in the park. In California, this past weekend, he's sitting in a park, and he's on a park bench, and he's got his pants pulled down. Now, they show him getting up. He's sitting at this park bench with his pants pulled down.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Not showing anything, obviously. He just has his pants pulled down. Like maybe he was overheated or something. and then he got up you know he untied the the knot got up and pulled the pants up he wasn't walking around with his
Starting point is 00:17:07 with anything showing or anything like that he was just sitting on the park bench with a giant smile on his face he crossed his legs over and he untied his panties and then he pulls him back up and so I feel like he was sitting there with his pants just
Starting point is 00:17:23 you know just sit down you have your pants over your thighs but not completely up over your buttocks and your waist. So maybe he was overheated. Seventy-year-old man, he's overheated, he sits down, pulls his pants down a little bit, to cool down a little bit? Who among us?
Starting point is 00:17:39 Who among us hasn't pulled their pants down a little bit just to cool down on a hot summer day on a park bench? Right? That's what I thought. Good news as well for you Megad Markle fans, and I know there's a bunch of you,
Starting point is 00:17:55 her podcast, Archty, has finally premiered. The first episode of her new Spotify podcast, Archtypes, is up and running or down, up, down, running as a podcast and ready to go on Spotify. Her welcoming debut guest, Serena Williams. And don't forget the series is going to be where they dissect, explore, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back. A.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Man. Now, it's only been two years after Megan and Harry signed a deal with Spotify under their Archwell Audio banner. They signed an exclusive multi-year deal with Spotify. Remember, the Spotify sent some people over. Hey, you guys, we need to get together and you need to do a podcast. I know it's difficult, but maybe you just turn a mic on and start talking. Maybe how about that? You know, how about that? Now, Megan did the podcast on her own, except, Oh my gosh. Prince Harry dropped by unexpectedly. Megan said, hey, you want to come say hi? Look who just popped in.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Oh, it was such an unexpected gift to have Harry stopped by the very first episode of Archtypes. Unbelievable. And of course, Williams is discussing her decision to retire from tennis and toward new experiences. It looks like she's going to be writing for Vogue. Man, I bet you those will be good, right? I know that Markle and Williams both reflected on embracing ambition from a young age and the struggles they felt as new mothers with careers in the public eye. And it's just, it's been tough. It's been tough for them.
Starting point is 00:19:54 But fortunately, they were able to talk. a little bit of it out here on the new Archtypes podcast. So that's great. That's great. Good. I can't wait to listen to that. The next week's episode I've told is going to feature Mariah Carey. So I hope we're going to continue.
Starting point is 00:20:14 I hope that's just the, that's the theme for every podcast, dissecting, exploring, and subverting the labels that try to hold women back. 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 rink on Uber Eats.

Starting point is 00:21:07 Product availability varies by region. See app for detail. Now we've talked a lot about plastic surgery on this show. We talk about, you know my belief, three cuts to clown face. I believe that still holds true. It's a little murky now because a lot of times you can get work done without actually getting a cut. But I believe it's still, my theory still holds true as three cuts to clown face.
Starting point is 00:21:28 And we've also talked about the plastic surgery of the buttocks, how that field is booming. The rehab houses are booming for. people that have work on their butt done. And I also see now where women are flocking, flocking, according to this article, to purchase a designer vagina. That's what it says. Don't look at me. It says, after ultra-tight leggings have become uncomfortable or embarrassing,
Starting point is 00:21:59 thanks to the dreaded toe. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah, you know, the one with the camel. it's called labiaplasty labia labia labia pla labia pla sty it shrinks the labia otherwise known as the flaps on the inside of the vagina
Starting point is 00:22:22 it's only about four grand so no problem a doc in the UK said last year he had only performed 50 of them and this year he's already beaten that number by this month and it'll be a first of this month august a lot of people say hey there's a lot of pain and discomfort tight leggings and you know leisure clothing can cause pain below the belt boy you're telling me man I put those leggings on I think oh man I got a I got to have a designer vagina wait what yeah so apparently you know exercise closing a little bit tighter form fitting
Starting point is 00:23:02 does put some pressure on the area and a lot of people experience pain and discomfort in general. So if that is happening to you and you have been suffering from, you know, the crotch suffering because of leggings, you can get it fixed and get yourself a designer vagina. It's just that way. You don't need to be uncomfortable. Get it fixed. Quit your whining. Have you been whining to your boyfriend or your husband? Shut up. All right, go get the surgery. Make him pay for it or her. And get that done.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Apparently, the Kardashians have long, you know, they've been wearing all this stuff all over. And Kim Skim's brand has been dabbling in that. And her own sister was a little wound up at Kim's brand because apparently Kim's brand was a little off in the crotch area. So the body suits need to be, you know, need to be readjusted in the Kim skims area. So, you know, look, everyone wants to have a designer vagina.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Some of you may have been lucky enough to be born in one. I don't know that. I'm just saying what the doc is saying. So if you're looking, if you're suffering, you're not alone, get help. Okay. So many people are happy after it's done. I mean, physically and mentally, you've got to feel good about yourself when you when you get that done.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Now, okay, so sure, there's been some that have had some issues with the surgery, okay? You know, there's been some infections, some scar tissue, some reduced sensitivity. You know, but not very many. Seriously, I mean that, not very many.
Starting point is 00:24:55 At least in this story, this doc has not given us any numbers. He's just saying, oh, one woman complained. No, that's it. I told her, shut up. Just one woman whining about some kind of infection
Starting point is 00:25:14 and losing sensation. Whatever. Get over it. Sorry, get out of here. So women should be able to wear whatever they want. All right? If they choose tight clothing,
Starting point is 00:25:25 yoga pants, they should be, you know, happy and be able to do it. If you're following a specific fashion trend or just because it's simply, more fitting for this type of exercise. They should be able to do it without anxiety and a bite of the lip. Like, you know what lip he was talking about.
Starting point is 00:25:47 So if you're suffering from not having a designer vagina, now's the time. Now's the time. I would also say that if you want your partner to have the surgery, I would tread lightly on how to ask for that to be done. just coming from me. I mean, maybe you just rip the band-aid off, so to speak, and say, hey, you know what I was thinking? I was thinking you're really struggling down there.
Starting point is 00:26:18 So how about we get you a little bit of surgery? I don't know how that's going to go over. But you know what, give it a shot. Let me know. You can email me, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. Let me know how that works out. And if you've had it, email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com and let me know your excitement and how excited and happy you are.
Starting point is 00:26:35 that it's happened unless you're someone who's struggled with it. I want to know that too. So Chewing the fat at the blaze.com just put in the subject line, hey designer vagina here.
Starting point is 00:26:52 You can follow me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR. Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. YouTube page Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You can cameo me anytime at Jeffy JFR. I see also, speaking of, who died today? Who died today? U.S. life expectancy plunged, according to this story, in the U.S.,
Starting point is 00:27:14 the biggest drop since World War II, declining in all 50 states and D.C. due to COVID and unintentional injuries, such as drug overdoses. The state where residents can expect to live the longest is Hawaii, 80.7 years. And in last place, Mississippi with a life expectancy of 71.9 years. Wow, that's a big difference. Now, you hope that those almost nine years, almost nine years, are going to be good years. I mean, if they're going to be crappy, why stick around?
Starting point is 00:27:57 But that's another story. According to this, New York's life expectancy dropped by a whopping three years in 2020. Wow, that is not good. However, I will say, one of the people that, you know, were on who've made it to who died today,
Starting point is 00:28:17 John McAfee, who's talked to us on this show before. I've interviewed John a couple of times. The, you know, anti-virus software pioneer. He was supposed to have killed himself inside that Spanish jail in June of last year.
Starting point is 00:28:34 and he was being extradited to the U.S. on taxi vases chairs. Remember, he was living on his boat when we talked to him. According to his ex-girlfriend, he faked his own death and moved to Texas and is still alive. She's in, uh, they've got a new Netflix documentary that she's a part of and says, he called her. I got a call from Texas. It's me, John. I paid off people to pretend that I'm dead, but I'm not dead. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:06 So running with the devil, the wild world of John McAfee, is the Netflix documentary. There are only three persons in this world that know I'm still alive. And then asked her to run away with them. Now, people have tried to contact her and find out if it's real, if she has evidence, and nobody can get a hold of her, and she does not have, she does not give evidence in the documentary. As far as I know, I have not. seen it yet. So John, we might have to take him off the list. Scratch him off who died today. I know. I know. Look at me like that. I don't like taking people off the list. Well, that's wrong too.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I mean, if I say you're dead and you're not, we got to take you off the list. So I'm happy about that, actually. 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! Feeling will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating. 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you, call 1-8665331-2-60 or visit Comex Ontario.ca. So did you see the Finnish Prime Minister, Santa Marin? She had a big party at the house and there were topless photos of her friends, kissing, and she was dancing and she was just having a great time. She denied taking drugs after the video caught someone using, you know, a little bit of tooth, nose candy, a little cocaine. And so she took a drug test to prove that she did not do any drugs
Starting point is 00:31:09 and clear up any suspicions. And she wanted to make sure to prove her innocence. She was dancing with her friends in a house and someone in the background, shouts flower gang. So I guess that means that's slang for, hey, it's time for some cocaine. And that's finished slang for cocaine.
Starting point is 00:31:29 And she said she's never taken drugs in her life. She didn't see anyone taking them that night. Uh-huh. And it was, you know, the party went on for hours and hours and hours. Well, so she had a big party and everybody was got their panties in a wad, literally over this prime minister having a big party. Well, she gave a press conference and she just wanted everyone to know. She's only human.
Starting point is 00:31:58 And she apologized for her behavior and it was terrible. And this is actually what she had to say. And also, I also, I think of those synchia pilvians in case, these dark times to be sometimes joy, light and fun. There's all types of photos and videos which I would not like to see. And I know you do not want to see them. And yet it's shown to all of us.
Starting point is 00:32:47 It's private. It's joyful. and it's life. But I haven't missed a single day of work. I haven't missed a single day of work assignment, and I never will. All that, the videos and the photos is irrelevant. We need to build this country stronger. Okay. All right. So that's just what needs to happen. Okay? It's okay. It's okay. Quit your whining. I was just a party at my house. I mean, she's a young prime minister. Is she's supposed to not have a life? Is that what's supposed to happen?
Starting point is 00:33:32 Is she supposed to not have a life? Because I was a fantasy in the party photos. And the topless friends partying around, I didn't realize there was even people doing cocaine, but it wouldn't surprise me. So even the topless party girls issued an apology. We should have never done that at the prime minister's house. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Okay. All right. Whatever you say. I mean, she's 36 now. I think she took office. She might even be closer to 37 now. So she's getting a little old. I mean, she took office when she was 34.
Starting point is 00:34:10 And that was in 2019. So, you know, just saying. It's been three years now. So she's getting a little old. Maybe she should put her. partying ways down. As prime minister, she's not supposed to do that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:28 All right, whatever you say. And I told you that Paul Pelosi would just get slapped on the hand and move on from his DUI. He pleaded guilty to driving under the influence in Napa County. He pleaded guilty to one count of DUI, sentenced to three years probation, five days of jail time, getting credit for time served. As part of his probation, he has to complete eight hours of a court work program. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:34:59 And take three months drinking and driving course. Uh-huh. He must also put an ignition interlock device in his vehicle for a year and was fined, it says here, $150. He was fine more than that. I mean, well, maybe that's, you know, court costs and attorney fees. It was going to be thousands of dollars. also you know I would say that the person he hit is going to get a lot of money there's no question
Starting point is 00:35:27 because remember the guy said in the beginning I'm fine and then a couple days later oh oh my neck my back my butt my shoulder my wrist it was so Pelosi's are going to put out a little bit of cash to this guy and Paul's 82 is he going to drive anymore does it matter that the interlocked device is going to be on his vehicle, you know, I guess maybe he still likes to drive, but he probably Nancy's not going to let that happen anymore. Uh, so he, you know, he has a driver, so that doesn't bother him. Is he actually going to go to the eight hours of court work program in the three-month drinking and driving course? Uh-huh. Sure. I believe that. No, really, I do. And as long as we're talking about court cases, I see where meta,
Starting point is 00:36:18 settled a location tracking lawsuit for $37.5 million, which seems low. But reached a $37.5 million settlement in a lawsuit that alleged Facebook violated user privacy. The case accused Facebook of tracking the location of its users through their mobile devices without permission. So the settlement was filed in San Francisco federal court and is currently pending approval. I would like to say maybe the judge says, maybe you pay a little bit more. So the lawsuit claimed that the company tracked movements even after users had turned off location services on their smartphone.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Huh. Really? Go figure because Facebook or meta, instead of using location services to track users, they used IP addresses with this information. Then the platform was able to send users targeted advertising. Huh. So yeah, you shut your location off, but we're still tracking your IP.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Wow, that's nice of them. So they agreed to the settlement. It denied wrongdoing, of course. This started way back in 2018. Wow. And included users in the United States who used Facebook after January 30th, 2015. So the company admitted to using cookies that remained even after the user had logged out. Isn't that special?
Starting point is 00:37:48 That's wonderful. So, I mean, Zuckerberg told Congress that the company tracked the location of his users to help advertisers reach in particular areas. We know that. I mean, we see that all the time. So does anybody get any money? I don't know. I was earlier, remember last year, they had a lawsuit where Facebook settled for $650 million, which, by the way, just as a, you know, just as a side note, is more than $30,000. 7.5 of this particular case
Starting point is 00:38:20 I'm talking about. But the accusations for the $650 million lawsuit was that Facebook, I guess it was Facebook was then, meta now, accused by some use of storing scans of their faces
Starting point is 00:38:37 without permission. I'm pretty sure they have your permission now. Incredible. But the thing that bugs me the most about this story is that they settled this case for $650 million. Okay, $650 million. That was a big story.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Great. Everybody's happy. Facebook's settled. We got $650 million. $1.6 million users received $397. Now, that means you got something. You got something. I know, and that's good.
Starting point is 00:39:21 I'm happy for you. If you were someone who got the $397. However, I will say that I would be pissed. I would be pissed. It would just feel like, bro, come on. You got to do me a solid and give me a little bit more than $397. Because I can guarantee you the attorneys, those attorneys worked hard Jeff yeah I know they got more than three hundred and ninety seven dollars each
Starting point is 00:39:54 and I know I get it I get it I'd it it just drives me crazy and then there's another lawsuit where Facebook is up for another $90 million lawsuit boy mark better Mark better have a little extra cash in the bank I think he does but it just that thing that case really ticked me off I feel like that's why I get so down on clash action suits because they got $650 million. You're going to get $397, though. So how about you shut up and be happy with it, okay? All right.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Fine, fine, fine, fine. Boy, am I happy with only $397? And did I say only? I meant, boy, am I happy with $397? $197. Do you think I could donate some of that to somebody? Ugh. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
