Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. What a bunch of meanies. So in Oxford, Oxford, Mississippi, am I, Cricket Letter, Cricket Letter, I, Cricket Letter, I, Humpback, Humpback I, there was a beer delivery truck that had a horrible accident,

and dozens of cases of beer spilled out onto the roadway. And it's a college town. You know, Oxford is the home of the University of Mississippi. So I'm sure there were many, many people willing to help clean up this horrible accident of cases of beer spewing across the highway. And yet the police department said, you should avoid the area for a while and know you cannot come help clean up. Wow, what a bunch of meanies. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat.

As you probably are aware, the Democratic National Convention is going on in Chicago this week. And boy, what fun it has been. It's been joyful, as the word that they're trying to make everyone believe that it is. And yesterday, they found maggots with the breakfast being served at the hotel. people were a little upset. Hotel guests discovered the protein-packed topping requiring at least one person to be assessed by first responders. Okay, I mean, I got it. It's horrible and it's maggots, but you needed to be assessed by a first responder?

Yes, yes, you did. Okay. We can confirm that a group of individuals caused a disruption at a DNC-related breakfast event at our hotel this morning. It's the Fairmont, Chicago. And the FBI is now investigating the apparent activist stunt. All right. Well, we'll see who did that. Don't forget we had the Palestinian youth movement posted during the visit by Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, when he was staying at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C., they had maggots and crickets

thrown throughout the hotel and in their meeting room. So good times, good times if you go against the Palestinian youth movement because if you go against them, that's it. Apparently the hotel did clean

and sanitize the area and the event continued without further incident. I would not be happy. I would not be happy at all. I mean, and they make a point of, maggots consume dead flesh after flies lay eggs. Yeah, that's what maggots are and do.

So just beware that there's a lot of good people out there, but doing what they think is good for all the wrong reasons. And man, doesn't it make you a bee? You want to be on their side when they're putting maggots and nastiness on your food before you're sitting down to eat. Because that wins you over. That wins you over. You're like, you know what? I'm on your side now.

We've all had a neighbor, crazy neighbors that have driven us insane. Haven't we? No, just me? Oh, okay. Man, there was a lady that used to live across from my parents' house in Florida. and she was whacked out of her mind. And you try not to let it bother you, but she would come out of the house screaming and hollering

when you'd pull up to the driveway. My folks lived across the street from her. And she would come out screaming and hollering. Only she'd be screaming and hollering at no one, but she's really screaming and hollering at you. And she would be out and she'd come outside and then she'd bend down in the flower bed and scratch her behind and scream and holler.

Just a nightmare. of a neighbor. And you just get so angry and frustrated with the whole thing. Well, then I see a story of this man who is accused of tossing garbage and other items, including phallic masks on his father-in-law's property. Now, this guy is just whacked out of his mind. You know, it's all it is.

He left rubbish and poured motor oil on the victim's driveway, threw signs and broke glass jars on the property, left these phallic masks on the lawn, yelling at the victim. Then they said he crashed his car into the garage. I mean, he is just completely whacked out of his mind. And man, if you ever had to deal with something like that, it truly is a nightmare.

So they arrested him, and now he's out, of course, because we can't keep someone like that in jail for a long time. And so I guess they think that he is, a real problem crazily, no kidding, because he thinks that his father-in-law has hired assassins to follow him for the past few years. Wow. So all he gets charged with, and I say,

oh, I don't know what else you can do, is with first-degree harassment, first-degree property damage, and then he is part of a cash-only bond of a hundred-thousel. thousand dollars so i don't know if they re-arrested him because then originally it says that he was released from jail so maybe they re-arrested him after the judge said yeah uh no cash only bond and it's a hundred thousand hopefully he gets some medication and some help but that doesn't help the times when he's just throwing stuff on your yard crashing into your garage hollering at you screaming it's just a nightmare.

If you are dealing with that now with a neighbor or a family member that needs some sort of mental health, help, man, bless your heart, because I know what a nightmare that can be. So good luck, good luck, and God bless. And maybe if you have a crazy neighbor

or a crazy family member that knows where you live, maybe you think to yourself, man, I should probably move. only you don't know what you need to do to move where you need to move you need to find a new place, you need to sell the old

place, well that's when you need to contact real estate agents I trust. They will help you through the process. Real estate agents I trust pairs you with the best real estate agent in your area. Someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone

who's a team leader, someone who's a closer, someone you can trust to get you out of that god awful neighborhood. that has your neighbor screaming and picking at her behind that you want to get away from. So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home or both, get in touch with real estate agents, I trust. The name pretty much says it all. You know, it got started a few years ago, well, a number of years ago now, when a guy by the name of Glenn, oh yeah, Glenn Beck, was trying to sell his home and nobody, he couldn't find the right real estate agent.

He kept going through real estate agents. They kept leading him on and, It was just a horrible deal all around. He ended up selling his house for under $40. And that's a loss for everyone involved. That's when he decided, man, there's got to be a better way. And that's when he started Real Estate Agents I Trust. And it put together the best real estate agents around the country, and they pair you with that.

It's a free service. Real Estate Agents I Trust.com. That's annoying. What? You're a muffler. You don't hear it? Oh, I don't. I don't even notice it.

I usually drown it out with the radio. How's this? Oh, yeah. Way better. Save on insurance by switching to Bel Air Direct and use the money to fix your car. Bel Air Direct, insurance, simplified. Conditions apply. So a lot of food in the news today.

In fact, food in the news. Food in the news. McDonald's is bringing back the chicken big Mac. That was confirmed by the CEO in a recent TikTok video. This sandwich first appeared in the U.S. in 2020. after being tested to international markets, UK and Australia, and it's going to make its return to menus at some point.

We don't know when. It's just going to make its return at some point. The chicken Big Mac will replace the classic beef patties with crispy chicken. The rest of the iconic Big Mac recipe remains unchanged. So that's something to look forward to. Isn't it? Yeah, they're trying to keep up.

up with the chicken craze that's going on in America. Chip-O-Lay has released a game where you can test your knowledge of the brand or Chip-O-A-I-Q for a chance to win a year-long's worth of burritos. So I think today is the last day.

But the only deal they're talking about is the beloved never-ending pasta bowl at Olive Garden, which, again, I am kind of a fan.

So we've got a few days Like I said today if you're listening live is the 22nd So it starts Monday The Neverending Postable So maybe there may be an Olive Garden dinner In my future in the next couple of weeks Because that sounds That sounds yummy

Then I see Speaking of chicken with the McDonald's bringing back the chicken big Mac, Chick-fil-A. You know what? You love them. They're planning to launch their own streaming service this year. Really? What? Yeah. The fast food company's platform would be marketed as a family-friendly with an emphasis on reality television.

The company has reportedly placed a 10-episode order for a game show. It's not what's the lie. from the companies behind NBC's The Wall and the 2015 Oscar-winning film Spotlight. Budgets for other reality TV programs are estimated at $400,000 per half hour. I want to say this. I will do a what's the lie for 30 minutes for $400,000. No problem. The company is also reportedly looking to develop scripted and animated projects.

The news comes after Chick-fil-A posted a job listing last year for an entertainment producer. If Chick-fil-A pursues the project, it would follow other crossovers into media. Lyft last year launched a game show on its YouTube channel, and Airbnb produced a 2019 documentary. Wow. Chick-fil-A now operates 3,000 restaurants in the U.S., reportedly bringing in $21 billion in revenue last year. Hello. I know the sales were down, though, right?

We did a report not long ago where sales were down a little bit at Chick-fil-A, and they weren't even number one, the number one fast food place. this year. So maybe launching their own streaming service, the Chick-fil-A streaming app will bring them back around because, man, there's nothing I want to see more of the reality television, what it was going to be

behind the scenes at Chick-fil-A, which, you know, might be fun watch behind-the-scenes at Chick-fil-A and watch them make my chicken sandwich with cheese and no pickle, please. Thank you. Be sure to follow me on my social media sites at Jeffrey JFR. on X.

So I mentioned the DNC, the Democratic, National Convention is going on this week. In fact, tonight, the 22nd of August, 2024, is the final night. We finally get to hear from Kamala Harris herself. And if you want to have some fun after that's over, you can join us here on Blaze TV.

So a couple of things happening around with the concert world, the U2, has announced a VU2, an immersive, which is a new word that everyone's,

seems to love, a concert film of the band's recent residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas. It's the first film shot with the Sphere's big sky high resolution camera. So that's something to look forward to. Now, I've heard, you know, differing reviews about you two at the Sphere. Some really liked it and some did not like it at all. So I'm sure that since it's their film, everything you're going to see. is going to be, well, immersive. But, you know,

let's see. Will definitely, am I going to, am I going to watch it? When it becomes available on a streaming service, yes. Am I going to pay for it? No. Beyonce has launched a new whiskey partnership with Hennessy. Sir Davis. Boy, I bet you that's cheap.

I betcha maybe Beyonce is right there with the man or the woman of the people spending that. Her new whiskey line, Sir Davis. She looks good in the ad. And I guess Sir Davis is named after her great-grandfather, whose first name was Davis. And she is going to be honoring his legacy with the whiskey brand. Okay. On the website, Beyonce shares a letter painted to Davis Hogue,

who was a successful moonshiner in the American South during Prohibition. You feel, I feel you in the landscapes, your laughter rolling in the rye. What songs did you sing? What gaps did you fill? Great grandfather, did you dream of me? Your legacy is a force that drives me for you. I raise my glass to legacy. Oh, that's cute.

The drinks, especially cocktails, are going to include honeybee, Texas Buck, Texas Buckin, Houston, Davis Old Fashion, and more. Now, you can pre-order the 750. milliliter bottle for only 8999. I guess it's going to be available in Houston

in 2025, the Sir Davis brand home in Bay's hometown of Houston. Man, that's something to look forward to, isn't it? Why, yes, yes, it is. Also, you're Michael Keaton. I like Michael.

I like a lot of his work. You know, you've got the new Beetlejuice coming out, which is the theater September 6th, I believe. So it's just a, you know, a week or so away. He has been interviewed, obviously, they're out hawking the movie. And he elaborated that Beetlejuice is an it, but not because of society's obsession with pronouns.

He's a thing. He's more of a thing than a he or a she. He's more of an it. I'm not saying it to be politically correct. So the character won't be politically correct. Good. We can't have Beetlejuice be politically correct. Duh.

I mean, I know that it's been, I mean, do you realize Michael Keaton? He's 72 now. These Beetlejuice, the original, came out 36 years ago. Wow. And I mean, that's still a, ah. Beetlejuice is still a strong storyline throughout, throughout America. Wow, I mean, don't say it three times, right? I just awesome.

So I am looking forward to Beetlejuice 2. I just saw, and I like Michael Keen. I don't know that I'd put him on one of my favorite actors list, but he's up there. I like Michael. I like a lot of his work. And I saw a ranking from this stats significant.com. Who's the greatest actor?

Stats significant. And they ranked the greatest leading actors highlighting remarkable careers based on a range of criteria. Rankings from online databases, the people's choice, box office success, commercial success, Oscar recognition. And so they made a list of the number one, you know, the greatest leading actors with the highest online movie ratings. number one number one James Stewart doesn't even remember

Jimmy Stewart anymore I mean it's a wonderful life yeah are you working for Potter now number two Leonardo DiCaprio number three Daniel Radcliffe number four Carrie Grant

Wow James Stewart and Carrie Grant are of the top five Chris Evans is number five. Henry Fonda is number six. Another one they pull out of the, pull out of the hat. I mean, holy cow, he has not been in a bit around for a long. Philip Seymour Hoffman, yeah, I mean, we lost,

he is another guy that we lost too soon. Shouldn't have done the heroin, Philip. Just a tip from me. Kate Winslet, Audrey Hepburn, Paul Newman, I'm a fan, love Paul. Audrey Hepburn, I mean, she was, you know, a movie star. Kristen Bale and Ryan Gosling. There's your list of the leading actors with the highest online movie rankings.

And then they go down to box office, the leading actors with the highest median box office earnings. Number one is a guy that is persona non grata in Hollywood these days. Maybe better now that he's got the new movie out, but Will Smith, median box office earnings, $430 million, Will Smith, just ahead of Tom Cruise

at $423 million. Then Leo at $326 million. Vin Diesel, $317. Hugh Jackman, $285. Robert Downey Jr., 281. Daniel Craig, $262 million. Jim Carrey's still hanging in there, and that guy hasn't made a movie in years, man.

Think of the money those movies made. Bruce Almighty and the Grancho. I mean, Batman Forever. I mean, the guy made some big-time movies. Chris Hemsworth, he's still cranking him out, $243 million. Brad Pitt makes the list at Harrison Ford, of course, $225 million. And Arnold Schwarzenegger still hanging in there at $220 million.

And then we have the leading actors with the most Oscar nominations. Leading actors with the most Oscar nominations. And man, this one hurts. Merrill Streep. She's got 21. Merrill Streep. Merrill Streep. And she's part of the new, only.

murders in the building. She was in the last season. She's going to be in this latest season that's coming out soon. I just, I mean, I just, I just, you can quote me on that. I just. Catherine Hepburn has 12 Oscars. Merrill Street has 21 Oscar nominations. 21. Catherine Hepburn has 12. Jack Nicholson has 12. Betty Davis has 11. Spencer Tracy had nine Oscar nominations. Danzel has nine. He could still knock out a couple more. Paul Newman had nine. Al Pacino has nine.

He's probably maxed out. Lawrence Olivier had nine. Geraldine Page had eight. De Niro's got eight. I hope he stays away. And Jack Lemon had eight. Merrill Streep. I'm still stuck on that 21.

So how many has she won? Merrill Streep. So she's been nominated for a 21 Oscar. She's won three times. Three times. Is she an EGOT winner? I hope not. Let's see what she says here.

How many, I don't have achievement, including an honorary season. Let's see. Seven. She's nominated for seven Grammy Awards and a Tony Award. So she's won Academy, BAFTA, Golden Globe, three Emmys, two screen actor guild awards,

seven Grammys and a Tony. So she's been nominated for both the Triple Crown of Acting and in Egot. But she's not an Egot win. yet because you got a win right you got a win you got a win you got a win an Emmy she's done that you got to win a Tony she has not done that she's won an Oscar right and has she she's won she has not won a Grammy okay so she's no she's not an EGOT winner she's the EGOT nominee that's it good I don't hate her I just I just don't like it

That's all. Then we have the final ranking here from Stat Significant. They wanted to rank every actor according to three criteria and then take an average of these rankings.

Well, we've got one. Al Adels. Al Adels. Hall of Famer NBA coach of the 75 NBA champion Warriors, spent more than six decades with the organization as a player, general manager, and most recently, team ambassador. So they were never going to let him go at the Warriors organization. He has passed away at the age of 87. The team announced his death. He died at his San Francisco Bay Area home, surrounded by family. No cause of death was listed. So couldn't be that. It couldn't be that.

Or they would have said something, right? Of course they would have. So rest of peace, Al Addles dead at the age of 87. Then yesterday, we got news about Richard Simmons, the actual cause of death. According to the Los Angeles coroner's office, Richard Simmons, death was accidental due to complications from recent falls and heart disease as a contributing factor. Interesting. Interesting.

From recent falls and heart diseases, heart disease is, plural, as a contributing factor. The representative also confirmed that the toxicology report was negative other than the medication he had been prescribed. So Simmons family additionally extended their gratitude toward the fans for their outpouring of love and support during this time of great loss. He died on July 13th. Wow. Seems that's so long ago now.

It's not. It's not so long ago at all. A day after his 76th birthday. He was found that morning by his housekeeper. Uh-huh. And he had a lot of falls. prior to his death too. I am not assuming anything.

I'm just throwing the facts out there of what happened. It's interesting that we were told that the housekeeper was keeping him like a prisoner and treating him like crap. And then the cause of death was, you know, natural causes. And sure those falls were, you know, a complication factor of his death. But that was it, just the recent falls. Were they accidental falls? I don't know.

I don't know. But now we know that it was heart diseases and the accidental falls. You know, I was reading a new study titled, A Burden of 30 Cancers. And well, the full title is, Burden of 30 cancers among men. Man, what a riveting read it is. It was conducted by the American Cancer Society in 2022,

and it focused on 30 types of cancer among men. It analyzed men from 185 countries using population-based estimates and approximations of human development throughout the areas based on income and life expectancy. So the study concluded that by 2050, cancer cases among men are expected to increase from 10.3 million to 19 million,

an 84% increase, with deaths increasing from 5.4 million to 10.5 million, which is a 93% increase. The largest increases in mortality rates were found in men 65 years and older, along with those living in areas that had lower rates of human development. The study estimated that countries with lower incomes and lower rates of life expectancy were more likely to see an increase in male cancer. cancer patient deaths. That's good news, right? I thought we were going to cure cancer. And we have cured many cancers, but we still, I mean, we've got these 30 that we've got to worry about. That's a little disappointing.

I mean, that's why we need robots. That's just one of the examples of why we need robots. They announced the other day China's unitary robotics. uh is ready they said that uh their g one model is already proving itself to be quite the performer is it they're saying that for 16,000 dollars they have this uh general purpose humanoid robot and the company said that we're ready for mass production. Uh okay now I guessed at this company I thought they were producing like the robodogs but no they are also figuring into the into the two-legged robotics and that goes i mean

tesla figure boss of dynamics sanctuary ii they're all competing for this space and so if you could get a robot that cleaned your house and man we have talked about this before i mean i i want a robot desperately but i don't want it just to i don't want to have to you know help walk around with a tablet and have it do. I want to be able to tell the Unitry G1, hey, do the dishes. Hey, sweep the floors. Take the trash out.

That's what I want. So I guess, according to Unitry, engineers are fine-tuning the general purpose bot to meet requirements for mass production. Now, you know, we're getting ready to ban TikTok. Are we? I mean, that's what they say. and we're going to let Chinese robots into the country?

I feel like that's going to be a no. That's just between you and me, though. I don't know that. They have not consulted me. I'm just saying that I'm guessing right now in today's world, we are not going to let the Chinese robots into the United States, no matter how much fine-tuning the general purpose bot has. Oh, and, you know, we talked about Vic.

The AI mayor in Cheyenne, Wyoming. You know, the mayor had an AI chatbot developed. And he was going to be the mayor. He was running for mayor of Cheyenne Wyoming. Ooh, yeah. No, he did not win. I think he came in like fourth place in the election process. So, ah, no AI mayor in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

I know. I know it's a sad, sad day. So they tabulated the candidates Victor Miller and his AI bot Vic, the virtual integrated citizen Vic. You got 327 votes out of the 11,000 votes cast for mayor in Cheyenne, Wyoming. So not a lot of hope for Vic. I know. I know.

Very sad. So while we're waiting for Elon to go up and rescue the Boeing Starliner astronauts at the ISS, he is busy launching more rockets into space. There's a new launch targeted for the 27th of this month next Tuesday for the launch of Polaris Dawn, the first of the Polaris program's three human spaceflight missions. designed to advance the future of space light. Elon said it's the first spacewalk by a commercial company and the furthest from Earth anyone has traveled in over half a century. Is this the one that the Doritos are going up into? I think it is.

I think this is the one that's sponsored by Doritos. Just get Doritos to pay for the trip to rescue the astronauts at the ISS. My gosh, can we do something about that instead of just having them stuck up there forever? I haven't forgotten you. I know maybe other earthlings have forgotten the Boeing astronauts stuck at the ISS. I have not. I just want to be clear. I care about you and I want you to return to Earth.

Okay? Boeing, my gosh, they are never going to be out of trouble. I see where they are now being investigated because cockpit seats, on the 787 dreamliners, uh, fall out of, uh, they disconnect.

They had, so there was a, there was a 787 dreamliner. And, uh, it's, and they have the, uh,

automated pilot system on, the autopilot. And the seat lurched forward, without warning, disconnected the plane's autopilot system and then went into a dive. Uh, I didn't go over. well. It did not go over well at all. More than 50 people were injured. Yeah, because we weren't

really expecting it. And sorry, I was just getting up to go to the bathroom. And then I went head first into the seat in front of me when the plane just dove out of nowhere. So they've top, they're requiring inspections of cockpit seats on the Boeing 787 Dreamliners. I mean, they're inspecting everything. Are we? We need to just reset Boeing altogether. I know they've got the new CEO coming in, and we've got all that going on. We just maybe we just need to reset the whole thing.

I don't know. I offered to be the new CEO for a lot less money than what they're paying, and that no one contacted me. I know. I know. It was a surprise to me as well, but they didn't reach out. So we'll see.

I, you know, I dove. this particular plane flying from Australia to New Zealand dropped 400 feet before the co-pilot regained control. Yeah, it was like, holy crap, what happened? I don't know, the seat. I mean, it could have been pilot error, right? I mean, the pilots could have wanted to get comfortable and tried to move the seat and then it jerked forward

and hit, you know, knocked the autopilot off, which then, you know, they dove and they're trying to blame the seat instead of the pilot. That's possible. And maybe we'll find that. out with the, you know, with the investigation. But, you know, let's see. I mean, they've, the 787s have been tested for loose caps on switches.

And when they turn the power of the motorized seats, I mean, it's, it's been a nightmare. And so we need to, we need to reset bowling. You can quote beyond that. We need to go ahead and just reset Boeing. I was, I was trying to remember the last time I had a pizza delivered to the house. It's been a while. But, I mean, pizza delivery, I was reading the history of pizza delivery, and it started because of this meme joke that makes my timeline ever so often. And I thought, I got to thinking about pizza deliveries.

So it dates back, according to history, in 1889, Queen Megarita of Savoy ordered the first recorded pizza delivery in Naples, Italy. See, that's what I mean. So this probably happened way before then. because you know there were kings and queens who were like, bring me a pizza. I want a pizza from, you know, Dudley-Due-Rights pizza gallery. People were bringing them food. So, you know, I questioned that history.

Anyway, the trend took off in the U.S. after World War II with American soldiers craving the pizza they had enjoyed overseas. So by the 60s, pizza delivery became a staple in American households. Yeah. Promising hot pizzas delivered in 30 minutes or less. I mean, that was Domino's, man. Order Dominoes. It's at your house.

That was before the internet too, which is the joke of the meme that we'll get to. So then the digital revolution of the 90s introduced the online ordering, making it even easier to get a pizza delivered. And I say easier. You got to go online. You got to tell them what you want. You got to be a member of their app service. It's kind of agonizing.

But okay, easier. I'll give you easier. So pizza delivery now, I mean, we even sent a pizza delivery to the space station in 2001. So I'd forgotten about that But the meme that keeps making the rounds In my timelines on social media And it shows three dominoes workers On a separate phone

Taking orders, taking pizza orders And the caption is Before the internet These people would take your order Right down an address and deliver a pizza To your home in less than 30 minutes By using a paper map like some sort of mystical land pirate.
