When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss?

Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous for less. Blaze Radio Network And now Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher Every day I am amazed at the

companies that are making well firing employees I'm sorry laying off employees The list continues to grow every day I just saved them and I was like I'll get to them and then I don't want to talk about them but you have Wayfair

to lay off 1,650 employees of about 13% of it's workforce. Job cuts are part of Wafers restructuring since the summer of 2022 and are expected to save the online goods retailer about $280 million annually. Google recently slashed the product team at Fitbit, you know, the wearable tech brand. It purchased back in 2021 for $2.1 billion as it now focuses on development its own pixel watch. Interesting. Cases cutting 2,300 and to 50 jobs, or about 3.5% of the workforce amid slowing sales.

Now, Macy's just rejected a $5.8 billion offer to take it private, setting the stage for a potential hostile takeover, or, you know, we'll see if they could stay open much longer as it is. The Los Angeles Times has now said they're going to lay off 20% of its newsroom staff. Now, that comes after. a few days ago, the journalists all went on strike. How'd that work out for you?

Yeah, we're going to go on strike. Oh, well, okay, well, we'll just lay off 20% of the workforce then. No problem. eBay is going to cut about a thousand rolls or an estimated 9% of its employees. Now, they just had to pay $3 million after employees sent spiders and a fetal pig to a couple critical of the company.

Yeah, that's it though. That's all they were doing. Don't worry about it. Just a little cyberstalking. That's all. They were pissed. And it'll be fine, though, because the charges are going to be dropped

under a deferred prosecution agreement if eBay maintains a good record for the next three years or so. Okay. their behavior for this cyber-stalking case was incredible. Riot games, the developer of the popular League of Legends, multiplayer battle game,

it's cutting some staff to about 11% of its staff. Now, just to be clear, they said in a note to customers, this isn't to appease shareholders or hit quarterly earnings. Oh, what is it then? It's a necessity. Oh, okay, well, that's good to know.

No problem. Just amazing. These companies, Bidnomics at work for you on an everyday basis. Now, cyberstalking from eBay, that had nothing to do with Bidomics. Okay, sure. I also see, though, good news, okay? So I know that's kind of, you know, that's bad news. So let's, I don't want to give you a bad news,

and then not have good news. Walmart, in hopes to winning over workers in a competitive labor market, America's largest one-stop shop. You know, you can, I mean, who doesn't love shopping at Walmart? They are upping the store manager's average pay

for the first time in more than a decade. Walmart announced this week, effective February 1st, the average manager's salary will get a 9% boost to 128,000, $1,000, while the low end of the range will jump from 65 to $90,000. Their maximum bonuses will also increase from 150% of their base pay to 200%. Wow, that would be a nice bonus to get. The retail chain, it employs 1.6 million people in the United States,

will raise frontline hourly workers average wages from $17.50 an hour to $18 an hour. Okay. You know, obviously they want to boost retention and recruiting and actually probably try to slap down the unionization efforts going around for the big box stores. Employee satisfaction, of course, is their number one concern. You know that as well as I do.

I mean, health care, college tuition, that's a pretty good gig. If you can put up with Walmart. So, you know, there's good. Good news. That was good news. Sure, you got laid out from your dream job at the games company, but you can go to work for Walmart. I mean, you're welcome. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. I guess you could go to work for Netflix. I mean, they've got the money. We just talked yesterday about their new deal with the WWE, $500 million a year for 10 years. And they just released revenue estimates

added 13.1 million subscribers during Q4 bringing the total number of paid subscribers to a record 260.8 million subscribers to Netflix. So maybe you go work for them.

I don't know. Maybe you go work for the rock. I know. The rock. I was amazed at how many companies he has. Now he was just put on the board of the TKO group, which is the sports and entertainment company that houses W.W.E.

And the UFC. Interesting. That's why he was there at the big announcement for the Netflix WWE deal. And it also was announced that because he's going on to the board of the TKO group, he now legally owns

The Rock. Yeah, it wasn't his before. Which is kind of strange. right it was derived from his father's uh w w o'clock fame of rocky johnson who was the first black champion in wdhwee history and uh anyway so now johnson you know if you don't know who the rock is i mean

what rock were you living under uh ha ha ha ha ha get it that's a rock and the rock so he uh has uh Aside from the wrestling and aside from the films, he has a production company, seven bucks production. He has a tequila brand,

Taramana tequila. He has an energy drink company, Zoha Energy. He has the Project Rock Apparel brand and the United Football League. So he's doing okay. He's doing all right. But he now, thankfully,

can wipe the sweat off of the rock brow and lift his eyebrow and ask you, when he asks you, do you smell what the rock is cooking? He now owns the rock. But the whole point of that was to go work for him. I mean, that's a job. I mean, he's got all these companies. Maybe you go work for the rock. Tell him, hey, I can, you know, I can help you out here.

We can make some money together. You know, set up a meeting. I'm sure he'll take it. Oh, happy, happy peanut butter day. It's National Peanut Butter Day, for those of you listening live, today is the 24th of January, 2024. I was reading, I mean, I'm a huge fan of peanut butter. I know, surprise.

I was looking at some of the facts about peanuts and peanut butter, like one acre of peanuts makes 30,000 sandwiches. Okay, I'm a fan of peanuts. More than 3 million people in the United States report having an allergy to peanuts. Suck it up. Get over it. Why do you think that is? Peanuts contribute more than $4 billion to the U.S. economy each year,

according to the National Peanut Board. And I love the National Peanut Board. It takes about 540 peanuts to make a simple 12-ounce jar of peanut butter. By law, any product labeled peanut butter in the United States must be at least 90% peanuts. On average, it takes about 4.7 gallons of water to make one ounce of shelled peanuts. Two former U.S. presidents were peanut farmers, Thomas Jefferson and Jimmy Carter.

Three states in the U.S. In three states in the U.S., there are six cities named after the peanut. Peanut Fun Facts. Those cities, by the way, are in California, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. Wait, in three states, there are six cities

named after the peanut. California, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. Those are four states listed. So, it's like West by God, Virginia,

a means peanut? Or is it just, so this is four states with six cities. There's three states in the U.S. There are six cities named after the peanut.

that's strange okay so there's four states not three that's just written wrong of course course it's written wrong a website writing things wrong in today's world I won't hear of it known as the grandfather of peanuts George Washington Carver

invented all kinds of things made out of peanuts he wrote down more than 300 uses for peanuts including peanut milk peanut paper peanut soap half of the top ten bestselling candy bars in the The U.S. contained peanuts.

Snickers holds the top spot, obviously best selling chocolate bar in the world made by Mars. Reese's peanut butter cups, number one selling candy brand in the United States. And they were invented by H.B. Reese. Love H.B. Reese.

I'm a fan of the H.B. Reese Candy company. There's a little bit of info on peanuts. I'm a little, I'm still a little hurt. There's three states, but we named four. But you get the gist. Happy National Peanut Butter Day.

They told us that we got hit on Monday and that we were going to get hit again yesterday. And I don't know that we did. I didn't hear any reports of anything going down, any minor power grid interruptions, impact on radio, aviation communication, satellite

operation. I haven't heard any reports on that. So I guess we didn't get hit. I don't know. If you live in Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, you should have been able to see the auroras from the solar storm. That's what they said. These coronal mass injections

medium-sized solar storm. So I guess, all right, I'm happy. I'm happy that it did not happen. I know that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued that geomagnetic

storm watch and I did not receive the alert so I'm a little disappointed but I guess we didn't get hit said we were gonna you know it happened on Monday out in the Pacific Ocean we were supposed to get another one and I guess it didn't happen who I'm not a fan I don't want it to any any minor interruptions at all but all right I'm glad that it didn't happen or did it happen someplace that we don't know about because there was you know a blackout I don't know I don't know. I just know we didn't hear about it. So my girl Reese Witherspoon, you know, I mean, you know where you love her.

And apparently she has been in trouble because she's been eating snow. She's been eating wild snow from her car. So how dare Reese Witherspoon get cups of snow? snow off the top of her car and then eat it. So she used, she got fresh snow from outside to eat it and then vamped it

up with salted caramel and chocolate syrup alongside with a splash of cold brew coffee, I guess. So speaking on TikTok, the star showed off her unique winter recipe named Snow Salt Chakiano. But fans weren't

convinced it was safe to drink. Shut up, it's snow. Of course it's safe. Isn't snow dirty? What if birds pooped in that snow? Oh, no. Oh, no. You could not have that.

You could not have that. Another commented, snow is filthy. Yuck! I love you, but no thank you. Snow is so dirty, full of bacteria. Oh, man. So, Reese, at the age of 47 these days. she had to clear it up of course

she said there's so many people on here saying snow is dirty so we went and took some snow from the backyard and we microwaved it and it's clear see there you go it's fine so why don't you shut up about it

another person wrote I thought eating snow was like dangerous to our health it's dirty Um, no, it's snow. Now, what it lands on, you know, you're not dipping it up from the dirty roads. But if you've lived in the north at all, where it has snowed, or, you know, the west, or wherever it snows, and there's a, you know, a great amount of snow, of course you can eat it.

We ate it all the time. Handfuls. That's what you pound down snow, you pack it, throw it, eat it. I mean, that's what you do. Wow. I mean, could it be dirty? Sure, after people have walked on it and cars have driven over it, but when it's just fresh snow from the sky, you're fine. Wow, that is, I don't, I didn't, and she even said I didn't grow up drinking filtered water.

We drank out of the tap water. Yeah, I mean, myself personally, we had a well. I lived out on the farm out there in Tuscola County, Michigan. right here on the map. And out there close to the industrial city of the thumb. And I just, it was, we drank from a well. And you got your water from the ground. And you drank hose. You drank water out of a hose.

You put your mouth on the hose. And that's the way you did it. And there was kids, I mean, you just walk up and turn that faucet out, turn that outside faucet on, hold up the hose. I don't remember actually putting the hose on my lips, But we certainly could have. And we had drinking fountains then that we drank out of as well. So get over it.

I don't know. Maybe it's tough for me. I will say this. It's tough for me to drink out of a drinking fountain these days. I see the drinking fountain, and I'm thinking to myself, oh, no, I don't know that I want to drink out of that. And if I push the button and I have to get too close to the water directional thing, where it shoots the water up. If I have to get too close to that,

I may think twice about it. You want to push that button and let it flow a little bit. Then you can go ahead and get some water. But if it's just snow, I'm with you, Reese. I'm with you. People are out of their minds.

All right. So I haven't seen the end of Fargo yet. Season 5, I am looking forward to it. I love the, I think his name is Ulamunk, the Sin Eater. the bad guy, I love him. John Hamm has been great in it. I know that

it's just been a, it's been a dark, dark story because, you know, I don't know if you know this, it's a base on a true story, but in honor of in honor, I'll see, what's the front say? You know,

you know, in honor of the living, we're going to change the names and the honor. Oh, here it is. The events depicted in this film took place in Minnesota in 1987. At the request

of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred. And so, they wouldn't lie, right? Of course not. They wouldn't lie.

So when I get to the end, and when I finally finished the Fargo, I'll let you know the old Fargo I'll let you know I see also where you know we've got Sundance going on so everybody's showing off their new films and the new short films

and of course what's her face Malia Obama is it Malia Malia Obama Barack's daughter has a short film The Heart

screaming and screening at Sundance I bet you it's so good. I bet it is really, really good. And boy, it's so interesting how, you know, she's able to get these shorts shown at Sundance. See, now she wrote for Donald Glover's Swarm and says she hopes to make short makes you feel a little bit less lonely.

Oh, okay. Well, what's it about? Well, the film is about lost objects. and lonely people and forgiveness and regret. But I also think it works hard to uncover where tenderness and closeness can exist in these things. We hope you enjoy the film, and it makes you feel a little bit less lonely.

Or at least reminds you not to forget about the people who are. Thanks. Appreciate it. That's so special. I can't wait to see The Heart. and I see where Nicole Kidman You know she's in some new stuff She's out hawking her stuff everywhere

But big little lies Has been people been saying Hey you know the strikes over What are you guys doing? Big little lies Is it happening? That's what's my girl Reese with its moon too So I'm guessing it's going to happen Reese is in the news I know she's all over TikTok and Instagram That's what she does now

But you know now she's getting in fights over snow So she's out there working everywhere day. So apparently Nicole said her and Reese are texting every day and there's a timeline and we're doing it and she laughed. I can't say anything more.

Oh, we've, I can't tell you anymore. Oh, we've got to just start keeping our mouth shut. We've got to button it. I can't believe I've told you this much. But yeah, we're working out of the new season for big little lies. So

I'm not going to tell you anymore. I'll button it, but turn the key and shut my mouth. Oh, my gosh. Thank you, Nicole, appreciate it. Although I will say, I enjoy big little lies. So looking forward to it. Hoping on it. Get to it.

Anyway, who died today? Who died today? UGA X.

Uga X. Dead at the age of 10. UGA X, also known as Q, is or was, the University of Georgia's live mascot. He died in his sleep. Georgia Athletics announced that he was 10 years old. He began his tenure with a collaring ceremony ahead of Georgia's win against Georgia Southern on November 21st, 2015.

He retired following the 2022 season. UGAX was by Georgia's side each step of the way during its modern run of dominance. In fact, he's the most decorated mascot in Georgia history. With UGAX, the Bulldogs compiled a 91 and 18 record with two SEC titles and six appearances in the SEC championship game. Oh, man, but now, I mean, we had a way to do without him last year. Cost them. cost him a playoff birth

last year without the old UGA X. So we lost him. We lost Uga X. And now the mascot is Uga XI. So Uga XI

and now he's known as boom and that's Uga XI. Uga is known as Q rest of peace. Uga XI. Uga XS. Guy, boom, took the mantle from UGA and was in charge this year as they went 13 and 1.

But, I mean, they had a great season, but they were locked out of the playoffs with that one loss to Alabama. But I digress. So, rest in peace, Uga, dead, the age of 10. And don't get me started on it being Yuga. University of Georgia, Jeff, it's Yuga.

No. won't hear of it. It's UGA. Yesterday we talked about the three men who were frozen to death in the backyard in Missouri after the Kansas City Chiefs game. 37-year-old David Harrington, 38-year-old Ricky Johnson and 36-year-old Clayton McGinney. We thought it was weird. We talked about it. We talked about the really kind of weird

statement that the owner of the house said that he saw them goodbye, but he didn't see them leave. He just went to bed and now you know the police are investigating now they claim that it's a matter as a homicide not there was nothing no foul play they are obviously are still waiting for waiting for you know the medical examiners report and again I said they are not investigating this as a matter of homicide people are pissed people want them to make this a homicide, but there's no evidence right now that it is a homicide. It's just a weird thing. Now, apparently, there was a fifth person at the home that day. And I guess, you know,

the guy, Jordan Willis, the homeowner, he claimed he went to sleep and left the four men inside his home, which contradicts an earlier statement that said he had seen the three men leave his home, all right? And the one guy was found on the porch, right? The one guy's girlfriend. breaks into the house to try to find them because Willis is sleeping with headphones and a fan on, doesn't hear anybody knocking, and she finds a body on the back porch. Really weird. Now all three guys froze to death. It's just horrible.

The whole thing is terrible. But the investigation is still ongoing. And now we find out that there was a possible other person in the house watching the game. And then we'll see what happens after. I guess it also said. in this news story that I read that the woman had broken into the home

because the car was still on the driveway. Then why were they outside? You know, they were outside in the cold for two days. It was not funny. It's not funny. I'm not laughing. You think I'm laughing, but I'm not.

Not laughing at all. But then we're supposed to believe this guy was just, I was just asleep and I didn't see it's possible. I mean, it's possible, I believe, and I know this to be true. You could be in your house for a day or two or more and not know what's going on out by your garage if something was going on out there. There was another car park there. If someone was there, I told you, I slipped one time in the driveway and I thought, crap, I'm here forever. If I don't get up, I'm laying in the driveway until somebody, maybe somebody in the next.

neighborhood stops and bangs on the front door of the house and says, hey, there's a fat guy laid in the driveway. You ought to go take a look because that's just the way the houses are built. And so it's possible, possible that Willis goes to bed and doesn't see cars, doesn't see his friends in the back air, nothing. Really, really, really strange. So I'm really looking forward to the medical examiners report. And I really want to know the truth behind how these three people.

Three humans, adult males, could just be sent out in the backyard at their friend's house and freeze to death and no one knows or sees it happen. Just amazing. Then we've got this guy in Colorado. He's been arrested. He had a severed hand in his pocket. Now who doesn't, you know, well, you can find a severed hand. What do you do? You wrap it in plastic.

You put it in a pocket. He claimed, yes, I've got a severed hand in my pocket, but I didn't. kill the prostitute that you're accusing me at killing okay i already told you a couple days before i didn't kill her okay i just used her but then he comes to work with the plastic bag in the chest pocket of his jacket that uh his work partner says hey is that a severed hand in your pocket or you're just happy to see me so he worked at a security guard station and uh now we find out that his roommate said that he had offered to pay him to help dig a hole. Yeah, in the words of Ben Matlock, murder is a messy business. So he walked up and asked me, hey, you want to absolve

$1,000 off your debt? I need a 10-foot hole. And he looks at me and goes, I'm not playing around. He went on to say he refused to help Martinez, but that he watched as the man washed blood off his hands at a car wash, claiming he was terrified. I couldn't even put into words how physically scared I was. All right. So Martinez denied that he murdered the prostitute, which he admitted to hiring. He then refused to pay her after several hours. So he was with her, but he didn't pay her. okay he also said that he had lent his car to a homeless man named james that he is the person who killed the prostitute how many times you do that you hook up with a prostitute and you decide you know what i'm not going to pay her

and you know what i'm going to loan my car to a homeless man named james He's walking around with her hand In his jacket pocket Okay We need to get a little help For my man Salomon Martinez Just something is going on

Chuck Schumer, the senator from New York, the great senator from New York, the majority leader, Chuck Schumer, has, he called, I think, yesterday for the crackdown on the Zinn. Zinn called for an investigation into the tobacco product

after claiming the product is being marketed toward teens. Okay, Chuck, calm down. All right. Aren't you the same people that want to legalize all the drugs? Aren't you? Aren't you the same people that are for letting in the border invasion?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. And what about, you know, because of the border invasion, we've got fentanyl across the border, killing hundreds of people a day. But you want to go after Zen? And you're not sure what Zen is. I'll read you the explanation of Zinn. It's a brand of nicotine pouches, originating in Sweden.

Zin pouches are designed to be placed between the gum and upper lip and are available in several variants with different nicotine strengths and flavor. Contrary to snuffs, these pouches contain. No tobacco. It's nicotine. It's a nicotine feed. I could do some Zinn. You put two or three Zin Zin, you're going to. getting the nicotine rush right then, baby.

No doubt about it. Now, I have never, and I want to go on record saying I've never seen any other human than an adult pull out some Zen and stuff it in their mouth. Is it being marketed to teens? I don't know.

Our teens are going to do it? Sure. I mean, I started smoking when I was like 11 or 12 years old smoking cigarettes. Well, that's why we've put the government regulations on their Jeff? I know. I know. It's bad for you, I know. I know.

But for those of us that like nicotine, back off. We've got a Zinnurrection going on, okay? That's what's happening. Now, I know Chuck is all wound up about it, but we've got way too many other crises

to be going on, to be pick a Zinn to go after. How about we take care of the border and we take care of the illegal and we take care of the crime. We take care of that before we worry about Zindbacks. Okay?

That's, I know, I know, call me crazy, and they will. But just saying we need to worry about that. And sure, never mind about the airplanes with their nuts and bolts that are loose. All of the airlines are saying, yeah, you know, we've found some, we've found some bolts and nuts that are loose, some screws that are loose here and there.

But it's fine. Sure, we've had planes shaking like crazy leaving the airport. Sure, we've had flat tires on airlines. Sure, we've had airplanes. You know, having their wheels fall off while they're taxying out on the runway. It happens. Things like that happen. Don't worry about it.

But we do also have people who are doing things on planes that are an issue. And there was a man on. an American Airlines flight from Phoenix to Austin that decided that he could get on the plane and fart all he wanted to. So at one point, you hear the passenger say, you thought that was rude. Well, smell this. Oh, yes, no, I don't want to.

on an airplane. No thank you. So it was an early evening flight. I've been to the Phoenix airport. In fact, I've been laid over in Phoenix Airport. Don't get me started. I'll be laid over in the Phoenix airport. That's the airport I almost got thrown in jail in. I've got to calm down for just a second.

I'm thinking about Phoenix. That airport pisses me on. However, so they're leaving to go to Austin. And they were already taxing away from the gate when and then they rolled it back in.

They rolled it back in. So they were on, they were the flight attendants, the sky waitresses. They were all there saying, we are returning to the gate. We'll provide you more information when we have it. Oh, is that way we're going back to the gate?

Yes, that's that. That's right. And then as they got to the gate, the flight attendant came back and informed the farting passenger that he could not stay on the flight. And I guess he said, I don't understand. She tells him they'll talk about it off the plane. He gets off the plane, grabs his bag, and everyone breathed the sigh of relief and a clear smelling sigh of relief.

I don't know if on the way out he left a... I don't know that. I don't know that he did that. But there's no video of it, which leads me to believe I don't know. You know, this could be a whole made-up story. And it's not true. We might hear tomorrow that,

well, that Reddit story about the people on the American flight from Phoenix to Austin was BS. It never happened. Because there's no video. Because there's absolutely no video. Now, you know, the guy was all wound up. You know, things in people's body happen from time to time. I know that.

But if you're a disgruntled passenger or maybe, you know, we've talked about eating food and bringing food on the plane and smelling up the plane, that's a problem too. And so I guess, you know, you could bring nastiness smelling food on the plane. But you can't bring nastiness smelling food on the plane. can't bring nastiness smelling food after it's been eaten. Yeah, no, you can't.

After it's been eaten, we don't want it anymore. Okay, okay. Calm down. Get off the plane. All right, I'm going to leave you with the joke of the day. This is a big guy joke, okay? This is an adult joke. So just no, I didn't write it.

I did not write this joke. This is not for me, okay? Because this is a big guy joke. But it actually, It's funny. It made me, it was funny to me. It's funny to me. Okay, so my family is definitely racist.

I started dating an Asian girl recently, and I decided to bring her home to meet my family. The kids wouldn't even speak to her, and my wife told me to pack my crap and leave. You know you laughed. You know you did. You know you did. Don't look at me like.
