Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So we are told that we now have the first person in the United States to die because of monkeypox. And not really true. Texas is the state that confirmed the first U.S. monkey pox death, an unnamed Harris County resident.

That's Houston, greater Houston area, and is the 16th person globally to die while. But really, he didn't die of monkeypox. He has an active case of monkeypox, but he was suffering from various severe diseases and was severely immunocompromised. So he didn't really die of monkeys. He died while having monkeypox and we've talked about people who have monkeypox and multiple other diseases at the same time. So as I said globally, they claim that we have 16.

That's counting him. So we'll see. They say two in Spain and one in Brazil. I would be almost willing to bet that the same is true with those deaths that well, They died while having an active case of monkeypox, but they had a number of other things wrong with them as well. Now, the virus, you know as native to West Africa, spread now to more than 40 countries with nearly 50,000 cases confirmed to date. As I said, the United States has 18,101 cases right now. California is still the number one state, 3,2,2.000.

291. New York, I believe, is coming in at number two with 3,197 cases of monkeypox. And then you've got Florida with 1800. Nobody's over 2,000. California and New York are the only ones over 3,000. Florida is almost there over 2,000 with 1,870. Georgia's got, you know, almost 1,400. And anybody else got over 1,000? Oh yeah, Texas has 1,000.

6604. We're getting there. We're hanging in there pretty close. And there's a few 400s and 500s in there. But then you have like Wyoming, two. And you have South Dakota with two.

Now, North Dakota has gone a little bit out of control. They have four. And Montana has three. So between Montana, Montana, North Dakota,

South Dakota, and Wyoming, you're looking at what, uh, 24, 8, 11 cases of monkeypox,

but it's still there. Still there. So, anyway, when you hear the news from all around everywhere that says, we have a death,

monkeypox causes death, eh, not so fast. welcome Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Piles of trash have spilled onto the streets of Scotland.

That's going on in the last couple of weeks, so it's got to be smelling beautiful in Scotland right now. The garbage collectors have refused to work over pay dispute. So the Scottish Health Authority has warned the public, eh, you might have some health and safety

issues. Really? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, we're negotiating with them, but there's no telling how long this is going to go. And I guess they're only asking for a 5% raise. All right. So, you know, the strikes are set to end the day,

maybe, I guess. So maybe we'll get the trash picked up, but that's not going to get picked up in a day. And of course, we have, they coincided with the, uh, Edinburgh's Festival Fringe, which is the annual three week long arts and music festival, which draws, you know,

millions of people to the Scottish capital. And so the garbage worker strike is one of many strikes going on in the industrial sector throughout the United Kingdom. It's Scotland, their own country. Is that? Because I feel like they're still part of the UK. Yeah, I think they're their own country inside the UK, a country that's part of the United Kingdom.

So, oh yeah, they're called a constituent country of the United Kingdom. Huh. Okay. All right. Whatever makes you happy. You got it. So that's not the only problem that's going on in the United Kingdom. I mean, we have thousands protesting and striking

at the UK ports, the rail systems, the postal mail workers have all gone on strike demanding higher wages. We know that the UK energy bills have risen 80% and they're expected to go higher. And they're talking about the 40-year high inflation. I mean, this stuff is coming to a country near you very soon.

Whatever country you're in, if you're not feeling it, it's coming to a country near you very, very soon. Just amazing what's happening. And I see just as a side note, Scotland does not have any monkeypox cases, but the United, I mean, the United Kingdom has to, 3,207. So I guess as a constituent country of the United Kingdom,

those monkeypox cases are still added into the old UK numbers. Now, people are pissed about all these numbers, all these prices going up in the United Kingdom. And so they've started this program called don't pay. Dot UK. And I went to the website. I was looking to see how many millions of people have joined don't pay.uk.

Like a hundred and twenty nine thousand six hundred and fifty people. They've pledged to strike on October 1st. I feel like that number is way too low. I feel like maybe people don't want to get on the list of the, uh, don't pay list in the UK. But there's going to come a time when it's going to, you're going to want to be on that list because if you're not,

uh, I don't know, I don't know what to tell you. So there are movement against. the rise in energy bills. They demand a reduction in energy bills to an affordable level. They will cancel,

this is what it says on their website. We will cancel our direct debits from October 1st if we are ignored. We will take this action if pledges reach one million by then. They're not close to reaching a million. So I don't know if it means anything. But good luck, because I mean,

I understand the frustration. I talked about the horizon and our power bills here in the United States. I mean, I couldn't believe the increase in my power bill. And it wasn't 80%. But it was, you know what? It was pretty close, actually, now what I think about it. It was a lot.

And that's unsustainable. I'm with you, United Kingdom. I'm with you. It's unsustainable. You can't, people will not be able to survive. I mean, companies are closing. But you've got businesses saying, hey, we can't. even stay open. It doesn't matter whether we're paying our workers more money or not. I can't

pay the energy costs. So have a nice day. We're going to close up shop. I can't afford to run my business. So coming to a country near you soon. No matter what country you live in, this is coming to a country near you soon. And it's not pretty.

So we're getting ready for the big Labor Day weekend. Today is the 30th of August, 2022. And this coming weekend, starting on Friday the 2nd of September already. Wow. That's Labor Day weekend. Yay! So Saturday, the 3rd of September, theaters want to get you back into the box office. So they're going to sell tickets for

$3 or less in a celebration of the first ever national cinema day. More than 3,000 movie theaters are going to participate in the one-day event, which will apply to tickets for all formats. IMAX. Nice. Circuits offering the special pricing include AMC Entertainment, Cinemark theaters, and Regal, which, I mean, they're in big trouble. so I guess the promotion is the brainchild of the Cinema Foundation, a new nonprofit organization that's affiliated with the National Association of Theater Owners. Wow, why didn't I think of that?

Why am I not part of the new nonprofit Cinema Foundation? Wow, okay. So they had a record-breaking return, and now people are like, now we're done. Give us something more. so good luck i mean go see the movie there's not i don't i can't think of a movie well maybe we can think of a couple

but i mean there's very few if any movies that aren't worth three bucks i mean that's a that's a good deal right and i know we still have netflix you realize netflix turns 25 25 that's 25 years old it was born the same year as the first wide release of movies on dvd and I mean, hello, where are we at now?

In 1998, Netflix, and I love some of these little fun facts from Netflix, in 1998, Netflix accidentally sent porn. Nice, renters thought they were getting Bill Clinton's testimony about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. I think I remember that. I'm not sure, though. That was a long time ago. different lifetime.

Actually, I mean, 1998, that was at least two lifetimes ago in my life. Is there, can you have different lifetimes? Yes, I believe you can. That's another whole show. But I believe that every lifetime has separate lifetimes inside of it. And there's, you know, timeframes for lifetimes inside your life. Can we break that down someday? We absolutely can.

I'm happy to. But I believe that. So anyway, the Netflix, fun facts. A Netflix study claims that any two users have likely streamed at least six of the same shows or movies. So any two users have likely streamed at least six of the same shows or movies. Yeah, I believe that. You like something. You watch it again.

Absolutely. I've watched series more than once. Sure. Absolutely. Netflix once made a prototype of a sock. Oh man, do I want this sock? Not that kind of sock. Stop, but get your mind out of the gutter.

Netflix once made a product... Netflix, I can't stop thinking about that now. Why did you even bring it up? Netflix once made a prototype of a sock that would sense if you dozed off and pause your show. See, no. The only reason I don't like that is sometimes.

The show is what's helping you say. sleep, that noise, right? So it's, if you pause it, then you're back and you're waking me back up again. Maybe that's what we don't have the sock anymore. Because, right, I mean, if you're laying on the couch and, uh, you know, you're in the tilt back and you got to show on and you're starting to fade away and somebody comes up and throws a blanket on you, now you're awake. I didn't want the blanket on me. I just wanted the show to be running so I could close my eyes for a little bit. So apparently, customers in the beginning tried to circumvent the mail and drop-off DVDs at the doors of the Netflix warehouses. So now they keep the locations of their warehouses top secret.

Ooh, top secret Netflix warehouse. So if you know where the top secret Netflix warehouses are, you are on top of the world, my friend. So how are you holding up, for those of you that lost Twitter yesterday? my Twitter did not go down at Jeffrey JFR. It didn't go down but I saw the headline come screaming across yesterday afternoon. Twitter is down.

Millions unable to access the social media network after website crashes. Oh no. Oh no. So I immediately go to Twitter to see if it's down and mine was not. So, you know, how are you doing? You okay? Did you fare the storm all right? You can always follow me on Instagram and Facebook.

Jeff Fisher Radio. As I said, Twitter is at Jeffrey JFR. I've got a YouTube channel Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You can email the show anytime you want, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. And you can cameo me if you've got, you know, if you've got somebody you want me to holler at or, you know, I got a lot of birthday wishes and stuff coming through, but at Jeffrey JFR on cameo as well.

You know, another petition that people are signing that I feel like should have more people signing, but I guess you don't want to be on that list either. Signed by 600 plus employees of Apple. So Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, sent an email or I'm sorry, an internal memo to all Apple employees, declaring that workers would have to report to the office at least three days a week beginning in early September. And the hybrid plan is supposed to enhance employees' ability to work flexixtap. Oh, the Apple employees are all wound up and they're saying, what?

You're making us come back to the office? Are you kidding me? Yeah, that's what we pay you to do. So the petition posted by a group of Apple workers known as Apple Together. That's the same group behind last year's hashtag Apple II movement, Apple T-O-O. movement. The petition criticizes Cook's plan for not considering unique job demands or

employee diversity. Signatures is a demand that employees instead be able to work with their immediate managers to develop flexible arrangements. More. Okay. All right. So they're willing to come in a day a week.

But this whole three times a week, yeah. Can't do that. Sorry. I can't. I can't. can't give you three days a week. Now, 10,000 Apple employees have reportedly joined a Slack group called Remote Work Advocacy. So that group's a little bit different than the other 600 plus petition, but for the Apple Together group, but it still makes it look like more people are concerned, I guess.

I guess you could use that to say that, oh, we've got 10,000 people are, Slack Group, remote work advocacy, but if you're making your work three days a week, you still have remote work to do. So there should be some sort of oversight and advocacy, but, you know, whatever, I guess. I mean, other major tech companies have grown hardlines in the sand.

Spotify rolled out a self-explanatory work from anywhere policy. Nice. and a prominent The one guy who went to work for Alphabet, Google, left Apple because he was pissed.

Yeah, I can't. This whole work coming into the office thing, I can't do that. I'm a machine learning scientist, and I'm going to work for Google now. They're probably going to pay me as much, more money than Apple, but I can't be expected to come into the office. That can't happen.

So take care. We are in very, very interesting times. You know what? You can't quote me on that. We are in very interesting times. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex.

Conditions apply. So we had the story of the Ethiopian pilots who fell asleep and missed their landing until, you know, they were sound asleep until the autopilot shut off and set off alarms because they were, people were trying to reach them. Hey, are you guys there? We'd like to bring in. And they just flew over their airport. Well, they finally woke up and they said, oh, yeah, we're fine, we're fine.

it around and landed safely everything was fine well now we have a story from air france uh they were flying an air bus a 320 from geneva to paris in june the captain and the first officer started exchanging blows in the cockpit i don't know what it was over they didn't say if it was over one of them was taken care of a little uh flight attendant business uh or one of them was taken care of a little uh flight attendant business uh or one was messing with the wife when they were off. I don't know. I don't know what the fight was about, but they started duking it out in the cabin. Members of the cabin

crew heard the noise and intervened and broke it up, and then one of the members, one of the crew members, you know, stayed in the cockpit until they landed the flight safely. Oh, but that was nice of them.

Now, the incident, according to Air France, did not affect the flight. I don't know. I'd be a little shook up if I'm sitting up front and I start hearing the pilots fight you guys got to want to go take care of that before they you know hit something that they're not supposed to hit

so I guess Air France had their own little investigation and they said yeah you know what our airline well we had a culture that lacked rigor when it came to safety procedures wait that's what you

got out of that you lack rigor when it came to safety procedures You've got two people in the cockpit fighting. Yeah, we have a culture. We lacked a little rigor. So those guys got into it. What are you going to do? Ah, the flight landed fine. Well, they've been suspended. I mean, so what?

They get suspended. They can't fly for a couple of weeks and they'll be back. There's a pilot shortage. I don't know if you know that. So it'll be, okay, we'll try to keep you guys on separate flights. But if we can't, knock it off. Okay? Then I see a story, which was.

actually a fascinating story to me about this lady who is defending her refusal to switch airline seats to help families or couples sit together I hate that I mean I get the idea that you book tickets and you can't get them together right you're trying to book tickets and maybe you just realize you have to go somewhere so you're not able to book the tickets you know that far in advance so everyone sits together so you know you You take what you can get and then you hope that maybe someone will move for you. But if they don't, you got to live with it, right? So apparently this lady who flies Virgin Atlantic, she says that when she does fly, she only sits in 8A.

That's where she sits. That's her seat. That's what she books. She flies other airlines too, but unless, you know, you, that's her seat. 8A. She likes sitting there. She likes facing forward. She likes being there.

that's where she sits and people have asked her to move and she's like no uh no this is my seat i'm not moving so she talks about stories when she was asked to switch seats with a couple and uh the girlfriend got all mad and started hollering and the boyfriend was like oh well that's the way it goes it's yeah that's what we decided you can be a bitch about it but she's not moving and then she talked about how uh one time she was in a forward-facing seat and business class, and they wanted her to swap to a rear seat, and so that these couple could sit next to their children.

Yeah, sorry. I want to be at the front, and I want to be facing the same direction as the pilot. If we're going to be put in an unfortunate position of having to run, I know who I want to follow at the front of the pack. That's funny. It's a good comeback. He was furious.

The guy started hot. hollering at her and just hollering at her and tried to then he moved on to try to persuade others to move and by that time if i'm on that flight and i see this guy going crazy on this other lady that won't move if he asked me or someone in my group i'm saying no sorry this is you just sit where you're assigned that's the way to go so she's saying you know hey if you're traveling with a family or group book your seats together beforehand sometime that's not possible i that and you just have to kind of ask nicely and hope someone will accommodate you but don't be don't be a what's the word I'm looking for a douche don't be a douche okay it's not if the person wants to sit

where they're supposed to sit that's their ticket that's the deal they get to sit there that's what's up I know my wife told the story about flying to Washington DC and she likes to sit by the window close to the wing that's where she likes I don't forget what actual number that is, but that's where she likes to sit. Okay. And so she had a lady come in and say, can I switch? I need to sit by the window. And my wife is like, no, I'm not going to move to the middle.

This is my seat. I booked it. This is where I want to sit. So the lady was a bitch to her for most of the flight until my wife set her straight, which she's, you know, prone to do. And that seems to work for her. So just remember, all right, if you book your flight, if you can't get your seats, just be nice about it.

Okay, I get it. I understand completely the times when you can't get seats together. But don't expect, don't, please don't expect someone to move for you. Hey, good news if you are okay with pigskins, cornea implants made from pigskin has restored eyesight. in a small clinical trial. 14 patients who were blind could see again after the surgery, and three of them attained perfect vision.

Wow. Millions of people around the world are blind or have impaired eyesight because of damage to their corneas, and that's the clear outer layer that protects and focuses light into your eyes. I'll tell you that, you know that. And though corneas with mild damage can heal, heal on their own. Some people may need a human cornea transplant to regain their vision. These procedures are known as corneal grafts.

It can be extensive, invasive, and time-consuming surgeries that require patients to take medication for more than a year to ensure their bodies don't reject the tissues. Okay, so now we're getting the cornea implants made from pig skin. Yay. Man, those pigs are growing some skin to help humans out. And I see where researchers at the University of Cambridge have created embryos from mouse stem cells that form a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of every other organ in the body. Wow. So that's another thing that is just, wow.

The scientists say their results, which come after more than a decade of work, could help researchers understand why some embryos fail, and while others go on to develop. into healthy pregnancy. So the mouse embryo model not only develops a brain but also a beating heart, all other components that go on to make up the body. This period of human life

is so mysterious, so to be able to see how it happens in a dish, to have access to these individual stem cells, to understand why so many pregnancies fail and how we might be able

to prevent them from happening. So the future is bright. That's what it is. the future's so bright, you gotta wear shades. That should be a song. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

Okay, who died today?

Who died today? Well, we lost him. A man known as man of the whole. He lived in complete isolation for the past 26 years in the Tenara indigenous land, deep in the Brazilian Amazon and Ronan state. I know. This is according to the nonprofit organization, Survival International.

He's the last remaining member of an uncontacted Brazilian indigenous tribe dead. And he's at least 26 because they've known he's lived in isolation for the past 26 years.

So he was given the nickname for his habit of constructing deep holes to trap animals and to hide in. So man in the hole, dead. at least 26 years of age. He resisted all attempts to be contacted, and authorities continued to monitor from afar.

Yeah, that's what the survival international people were doing. They were just monitoring this guy instead of just leaving him be. It was amazing. So the rest of his tribe was wiped out by several attacks since the 70s, mainly from cattle ranchers and land-degrabbers. No outsider knew this man's name, and even very much about his tribe. And with his death,

the genocide of his people is complete. I know. I know. This was indeed a genocide, the deliberate wiping out of an entire people by cattle ranchers hungry for land and wealth. He was found lying in a hammock and a hut. There were no signs of struggle, violence, or the presence of other people in the area.

So he was a lot older than 26. we were just been watching them for 26 years so you know you don't know that's probably pretty good that's probably pretty good for the Brazilian indigenous man that they call man of the whole so he's gone we lost him and we'll never know we'll never know about the man of the whole people reminds you remember the movie

oh gosh what was the stupid name of that movie the Emerald Forest where the kid gets taken by the invisible people and then the fierce people I think end up getting him and he's about the Brazilian forest. Powers Booth. My main man was his dad. I love Powers Booth.

And the kid gets lost and they finally get him back and then at the end he's like no I'm not doing this. I'm not living in the real world anymore. I'm not living in your real world anymore and he goes back with the invisible people. But pretty incredible. You learn the.

invisible people. Yeah, the Emerald Forest. Classic movie. Darn near a documentary of the Brazilian people. Maybe, maybe this guy, a man of the whole, was part of the invisible people. I don't know. Okay, who else died? This man,

believed to be in his 30s, mauled to death by a lion. Oh, okay. So, man, did the lion jump over the fence and attack this guy? Yeah, no, the intruder was killed after he jumped over the security fences of the zoo.

So again, and no one support the zoos more than this show, Chewing the Fat, and myself Jeff Fisher, but this enclosure at a zoo in Ghana, the man climbed over the area, the enclosure,

and the lion was not having any of it. No, the lion, a lioness and two cubs were still secure. Yeah, because they are not letting the human in there. Okay, the zookeepers found the man's mauled body inside the lion's enclosure. Yeah.

So the lion was like, yeah, I don't think so. You don't belong here. And I'm going to go ahead and put you down. So I don't know if he was thrown in there. So it could have been a murder. But they believe that he was breaking into the enclosure to steal the code. Oh, okay. So the zookeepers coaxed the lion and the lioness is into a secure holding area, and they got the body out of there.

So they're investigating the case and we'll see what actually happened. But I'm surprised they didn't have, even in Ghana, I'm surprised they didn't have some kind of cameras up for this. But this Akra Zoo was first established as a private menagerie in the early 60s by Ghana's first president. and then it was open to the public after he was overthrown and they threw him out and they said, well, we might as well keep the animals he's got and we'll just charge people to come to the zoo. What do you say? So there you have it. We don't know his name, but mauled by a lion dead at the age of 30.

Who else? Who died today? Supace Wongfade. Supachi Wong fade. S-U-P-A-C-H-A-I-W-O-N-G. F-A-E-D, 32 years of age, dead. Found in a pool of blood after police responded to a rubber plantation in the Fangtaker province of Thailand, and he, this man was stabbed by the tusks of an elephant multiple

times, tearing his body in half. Woof. That does not sound fun. There are plenty of ways to go. I don't know that I would choose being stabbed by elephant tusks multiple times. Apparently, they're blaming it on climate change. Hot weather may have made the animal go crazy and attack the man. It couldn't have been that he was sick and tired of hauling wood at the plantation all morning.

He was just warm and hot and he was sick of this guy making him haul wood all morning at plantation so I'm just gonna you know what I've had enough of you I don't want to hear you anymore I don't want to see you anymore I'm going to just stab you with my tusks and I'm gonna stop on you and get rid of you and that's the way it is okay all right good apparently he stood over the corpse for a while he was standing over the corpse for you know a long time and just down there just smoking a cigarette go, don't even, don't even come at me. Don't do it.

Don't square up on me. This guy was beating me all morning. I'm having to haul logs and I just, I don't want to do it. Now, apparently, the practice of using Asian F elephants to carry logs has been banned in Thailand. But apparently, this guy, what's his name again? Supace Owangfit, a 32-year-old, decided that, you know what, it may be illegal, but they can move some logs and I'm going to use. use them. And that's when the elephant said,

uh, yep, nope. Uh, not me. I'm tired of you. So, so, Supace Wungfit, 32. Dead. And another death in California.

No name. Uh, she was, uh, in her house on the couch for a year. Uh, that tends to be a smelly situation. Oh, and probably a sticky situation. Oh, okay. So apparently a woman locked herself inside her home for lockdown. And, you know, this lady died in April of 2021.

Ooh, man, that is not good. So it was locked down and her mother died on the sofa in April of 2021. And she just left her there. Neighbors called police after seeing a stack of boxes left and delivered on the front door and having no one answer when they rang the doorbell. So this lady was definitely a hoarder. There was a mess inside the house, and police arrived,

and they forced their way in, found the dead mother on the couch in the living room, and after a search through the home, they found the daughter in the bedroom. They said they discovered the body, and then all of a sudden they heard a female voice calling out to them from the bedroom. They said the home was filled with clutter,

trash and boxes from floor to ceiling. After a slow and methodical process of clearing debris, officers were able to safely get her out of the room and ultimately transported her to an area hospital for medical treatment. So according to the police, the woman told them, Hey, I'm on died of natural causes, but I didn't know what to do. And we were having, we were in a lockdown. So I just left her on the couch for 16 months.

Oh. Now, no, no, I don't know how if the person was in the bedroom and had stopped moving and just was stuck there or was sick, they didn't say. Obviously, I don't know why she wasn't picking and getting the boxes from the front door. But they're calling it an unattended death. But we are investigating it, of course. They believe that she had not left the home since the beginning. of the pandemic, and she had been receiving living essentials through the mail. The home was also marked unsafe by the city, so nobody can live there.

It's full of debris, and man, it must smell nice. Mom was in there for 16 months? That is... I'm glad it's not me. I had to go in there. I'll tell you that. I'm glad it's not me. But I'll take a look at the pictures if they've got any.
