Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. News from the city of Provo, Utah. They have discontinued the Dirtylicious Dance Fitness Program held at its recreation center. Unbelievable. Provo, Utah, they can't even handle a Dirtylicious Dance Fitness program.

Wait, what? Yeah. According to this, the DirtyLicious Dance Fitness program has been in business since 2019, has about 60 trainers across the country, and has operated for three years out of the Provo Recreation Center. Now, I guess the tanners, who are the owners of the DirtyLicious Dance Fitness program, I've tried to work with Provo, and they've been met with walls, and it's shut down. Provo says that not only did they not meet the moral standards, they also identified unapproved marketing efforts and the use of the facility's logo in ways that did not align with our established

branding guidelines. Based on these considerations and in keeping with our operational standards, they have determined to discontinue the classes. So, I mean, the dirty, delicious dance fitness program is upset and they want to continue working with the Provo Recreation Center. Can't they just do it at the Y? Can't they just set up the class in a someplace else, another business? Why does it have to be the tax-funded Provo Utah Recreation Center? Just a thought. Or is this just a way to blast the Mormons? Oh, you mean it probably is that? Okay, all right, sure. We can do that as well.

So we'll see what happens with the Dirtylicious Dance Fitness Program. I guess they're going on all over America. So if you're part of the Dirtylicious Dance Fitness Program, you can always email me, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. Love to see some personal videos and personal pictures from the DirtyLicious Dance Fitness Program. And let me know how you're doing with it. Are you in better shape than ever because of the Dirtylicious dance fitness program? Or are you just there to learn how to dirtylicious?

Welcome. Welcome to chewing the bat. So a few days ago, I run across a story that talks about you might be pronouncing NVIDIA the wrong way. You know, the company N-V-I-D-I-A. You may be pronouncing it the wrong way. A lot of people are pronounce it, Novidia. The correct pronunciation is Envidia.

E-N-V-I-D-E-E-H, N-V-I-H. And it's inspired by the Latin word invidia, which reflects its founder's hope to evoke envy. Okay, no problem. I didn't think anything of it. I was just like, yeah, okay, I got it. Believe me, I understand mispronunciations of words. So it's Envidia.

Got it. Well, then today I found out why. they want to tell us to make sure that we pronounce it correctly because yesterday it briefly crossed the threshold of $4 trillion. It was the first company to do so. Amazing. Now it ended the day. What a bunch of losers at $3.972 trillion. But it's the big chip mark. It was founded in 19. 93. It first passed 2 trillion in February of 2024.

And then it passed 3 trillion in June. And now it passed 4 trillion. Now, it went back down under 4, but it's hanging in there pretty close to that 4 trillion mark all the time now.

Now, Microsoft and Apple are both worth over $3 trillion, but I don't know if they're all pushing 4 trillion now. and for sure we're going to have someone surpass that $4 trillion mark, probably NVIDIA for good sometime in the future. $4 trillion will be in the rear view mirror. And they're predicting that possibly at least $6 trillion.

So congratulations and make sure you say their name correctly. It's NVIDIA. Well, now there's a company that's not worth trillions, but it is worth billions. the Ferraro group said that it's going to buy WK Kellogg Company. Kellogg's based out of Battle Creek, Michigan, which is right here on the handmap, if you're seeing it, Battle Creek is right here.

The cornflakes, fruit loops, rice Krispies, special K, and Ferraro also has Nutella and Rocher Chocolates. I think it's Rocher Chocolates, R-O-C-A-G-R. I apologize if I'm misprouncing. that. So the deal for $3.1 billion will include manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of Kellogg's portfolio of cereal brands in the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean. Oh, okay. So Ferraro is going to pay $23 for each WK. Kellogg's share. That's nice. Remember back in 2023, Kellogg spun off cheeses and pringles and into a separate company called Kelanova. And then, oh my gosh,

remarkably, almost a year later, Mars announced, you know what, we're going to buy Kelanova and a deal worth nearly $30 billion. Remember, because they were going to spread their product globally, and they needed a bigger reach. So that's special. Ferraro launched in Italy in 1946, and in 2018, the company bought Nestle's.

So when you eat a Butterfinger, nerd, or sweet tarts. Yeah, that's Ferraro. That's not an American company anymore. Sorry about that. And then it acquired Wells Enterprises, which is behind the ice cream brands, Blue Bunny and Halo Top.

Yeah, that's Ferraro as well. And now they're going to own Kellogg's. Incredible. So congratulations to the Italian company, the Ferraro Group, for buying up some more American products. Good for you. At least it is.

China. I mean, I have so many stories about China. First, I guess that President Trump is trying to ban China from buying U.S. farmland. I feel like that's a good thing. But the headlines, I mean, we are going after some Chinese nationals. So they just busted Chinese nationals from a multi-million dollar marijuana trafficking operation. They had a 19 state operation shattering Chinese sex trafficking. networks. Apparently, this Chinese organized crime was fueling like a $5 billion a year sex trafficking empire here in the U.S. with illicit massage parlors. Okay. They found bags of cash from drug cartels of flooding teller banks here in the U.S. Okay. Green Group with ties to Chinese Communist Party, part of the network influencing U.S. policy. Yeah.

I would say that all groups that are, you know, from China are tied to the CCP. That's just me, though. Another Chinese scientist from Wuhan has been charged with smuggling illegal biological materials into the U.S. And the Department of Justice has nabbed a Chinese hacker accused of stealing COVID research for Beijing. Now, I think they charged one agent with infiltrating U.S. universities and thousands of other entities to steal pandemic research, including vaccine data, while China hid the virus's origins. And one suspect was arrested in Italy.

The other suspect is still at large. So, I mean, the in-depth of some of these stories is incredible. The cartels bringing money to the banks and bags of cash, incredible story. The sex trafficking story, incredible. The drug trafficking, incredible. And it's all Chinese related. So, yeah, we need to maybe ban China from buying U.S. farmland. Yeah, let's do that.

They have introduced its first Barbie representing a person with type one diabetes. Congratulations. That's great. That's what we needed. We needed a Barbie. with type 1 diabetes because there's no way to tell unless you tell us. So apparently Mattel has partnered with Breakthrough T1D,

a type 1 diabetes research advocacy organization, formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the JDRF. What, the JDRF doesn't exist anymore? It's now TD, or I mean T1D? Okay, I, okay, sure. You learn something new. every day. So the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the JDRF no longer exists.

Well, it exists is just under a different name. Breakthrough T1D. I think I like JDRF better, but you know, whatever, you do you. So the design of the dial truly captures the community. It includes accessories that accurately reflect the medical equipment people with type 1 diabetes may need. Oh, okay. Listen, visibility for everyone facing type 1 diabetes. Yeah, you don't, if you've got type 1 diabetes, you want to be able to play with a doll that's got type 1 diabetes, don't you? I, okay, sure, absolutely. I would not, but, you know, you do you. So I just wondered and good, I mean, Barbie is trying to, you know, adapt and let everyone know that she's got her type 1 diabetes equipment with her at all times.

I guess it's a special doll that you can purchase as well. When do we get the special Barbie doll that has breathing issues and has to carry around the oxygen tank? Do we get that soon? Yeah. When do we get the eating disorder Barbies? Like the extra skinny Barbies

that have to suffer with anorexia or bulimia or binge eating? When do we get the fat Barbie? Yes, because they're suffering with, you know, binge eating disorder. Because you got to please everybody. Am I right? Right. And then you have the people who eat anything.

What is the what do they call that? Pika, I think, where you just eat anything. You've seen them. They're dining on their mattress or they're dining on wood chips from their yard chair, something. When do we get those Barbies? soon? Okay. Well, we'll go with the Barbie that has a type 1 diabetes first and then with all the accessories. Then we'll get the oxygen tank Barbie and then we'll deal with the Barbies who have eating disorders. Am I right? Come on, Mattel. You want to be able to have your Barbies out there so that they're just like you, just like the people, the kids that are playing with them. Right? I mean, that's what they, that's what they said. They said that they wanted to, they wanted to, have the dolls enable more children

to see themselves reflected in Barbie. I mean, the new line has got various skin tones, hair colors, textures, disabilities. It says body types, but it also says

and more, my favorite. But body types. So do we get the fat, Barbie? I don't think so. I want it, but I don't. I mean, we have the Ken doll with the prosthetic leg

and we have the Barbie with his. hearing aids. So soon we'll have the oxygen tank and we'll have the fat Barbies. I don't think we're going to have the fat Barbie though soon. Or the Barbie that has anorexia. I will purchase personally the anorexia Barbie. Absolutely. I will have the anorexic. And it's not even anorexia. It's what's the full title name? Anorexia nervosa Barbie. Yes. When does that come? Barbie. When is that common? I'm sure Mattel is right on it. All right, be sure to follow me on my social media at Jeffrey JFR on X.

I did respond to an email this morning, though, from Jason, who said, thanks for recommending Animal Kingdom.

I've been watching it for the last few weeks. Yeah, it's up on Netflix. And he said he caught the final episode last night. And let me say, and then he goes on to review what he thought of the show. And I don't know that I've spoiled this show or not if you haven't seen it. I will say there's six seasons. There's a lot to binge. there's some really, really great episodes in this show.

The first four seasons are very good. The last two are good. And I just, again, there's a show that should have ended. Why don't they get a hold of me? And I will show them how to end shows properly. I just watched the limited edition of the Waterfront on Netflix. Who, by the way, has a co-star that is from Animal Kingdom.

Just a side note. What's his face? The son, Darren. He played Darren on Animal Kingdom. Jake Weary is in the waterfront. And I was reading about Jake as it says here for his bio, the American actor and a musician. Okay, I didn't know he was a musician.

And it says here, probably best known for his role as Kevin Duke Weeder in the 2010 TV series as the world turns. No. That is not true. But okay, he's known as Darren from Animal Kingdom. That is what he's best known for. I guess he was in the MTV series Awkward as well.

And his mother is a big soap star. So, you know, he's got acting in his blood. But anyway, so I'm watching The Waterfront, and it's like eight episodes on Netflix. And I like it a lot. And I like the characters in the show. I'm a big fan of all the stars. No question.

I mean, I like Jake and Holt McCowny is the dad, and Maria Bella was in it. And I just, you know, it's a very good show. I like it. I enjoyed it. However, once again, I'm disappointed in the ending because I had already written the ending in my mind. And the way they ended it, come on now. I mean, I get it. I get it.

That's the new world we live in. But no, that should not for sure have been the way that it ended. But okay, it's worth to watch, though, because it was fun. But please, Netflix or writers or shows or whatever you're doing, call me, get a hold of me, email me something so that we could direct message me on one of the social media platforms so that we can get together and discuss how to correctly end your show. Because that's the deal with Animal Kingdom. I did, I loved all six seasons. You know, the last two were, like I said, they were good. The first four were great, but it should not have ended the way it ended.

All right. It should have ended, well, the way I wanted it to end. And I was a little really disappointed in how they ended it. And they should have reached out to me. They should have reached out to me, but they didn't. At some point, I'll give you a quick recap in how they should have ended Animal Kingdom. And I may tell you now, because I responded to the email with how the show should have ended. and I think that I'm right.

So I don't want to spoil it for you. I'll give you a little bit of time. I know the show has been out for quite some time now. And, you know, it's just been up on Netflix for a little while. So hopefully, if you haven't seen it, can get to seeing it. So that I can, you know, not spoil it for you. I know. I know. That's the kind of guy I am.

I don't want to spoil it for you yet. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. You know, another thing we need to talk about, and I think we've talked about this in the past, but Hollywood needs to have some originality. You know what I'm saying? That's why the quote from Clint Eastwood was believable when they said it wasn't, that he was tired of all the remakes, because we all are tired of them, yet they continue to do them.

So we've got the Highlander, right, coming out, the remake of the Highlander, and that's got Henry Cavill and Russell Crow in it, and they just said they're going going to get Marissa Abbella in it. I just read today where the Thomas Crown Affair, they're going to remake that. Okay. I guess Michael B. Jordan is going to star a direct in it. Lily Gladstone is in it. Kenneth Branagh is in it.

I love him. It's Branagh. I love Kenneth. I love Michael B. Jordan. But that's why we like sinners, speaking of Michael B. Jordan, because it was a new twist on a story. It wasn't the old tired stories. I love the Highlander. I got no problem with it.

I love the Thomas Crown Affair. Got no problem with it. Does it need to be redone? I don't know. Sure, go ahead. Go ahead. You've got the money. Do what you need to do.

You know, this is one of the reasons that people are turning to anime. You know, I'm not a big anime guy, but I know people in my, in my orbit that like anime. And I see now that, according to Netflix, more than 50% of global user, 50% of their global user base, that's 150 million households, watches anime on the platform. Oh, okay, that's a little bit more than I would have guessed. That's for sure. So, 33 anime titles made the platforms rotating global top 10, not English, list. last year, up more than two times from 2021, just four years ago. So apparently the company unveiled the numbers at Anime Expo in Los Angeles.

And man, I'm eyes bummed. I missed the Anime Expo in Los Angeles. I will say this. Anime is so big. If they need voice work, you can reach out to me, join the Fat at the Blaze.com. I'll be happy to be one of your anime voices. 400,000 people showed up at the Anime Expo in Los Angeles. I was not one.

so I guess people were showing up cosplaying different characters okay you know good good so we've got 400,000 people showing up at the anime global expo in Los Angeles and they can't buy

people to come down to San Diego's Comic Con huh I wonder why I wonder why so according to this one in three people watch anime weekly in the U.S. and worldwide.

And those fans subscribe to Netflix more than any other platform, according to this new study from the Japanese ad company, Dentsu, love them. In the U.S., Netflix is followed by Disney Plus, Hulu and Amazon Prime video. While Crunchy Roll,

the original anime platform ranks last in anime viewership. Yeah, well, they're just going to get bought up by one of these other companies and, you know, have a nice day. So, and it says it this story. They talk about Hollywood and fatigue with sequels. Yes, of course it is.

Duh. Certainly, if I've come up with the idea, it doesn't take a genius to come up with it. Don't look at me like that. So apparently, Carnival Cruise Lines has updated some of their rules, and by doing so, that makes them racist. Oh, okay. Now, we all saw the video, right, of the,

Carnival Cruise Line party that was just out of control. And it was predominantly African-American people on this cruise. One cruise. And they claim that that's why Carnival updated their rules. It kind of makes sense. But apparently that's racist. So according to the Carnival rules and Carnival guests, they give you a new sheet that says,

Welcome aboard. While you get settled, please take a moment to review some of our have fun, be safe guidelines. The ship is a shared space. In keeping with our carnival values, we urge you to show care and respect for others, including our team members. Our experience

Stop. Don't you start saying. on the stupid song. Dave Flabati, Flabody, I think sounds better. He has passed away at the age of 65. He's been battling cystic fibrosis

forever. He was told he wouldn't live past 12 and he lived to 65. I mean, this guy has as a writer and producer, Tulsa King, Boardwalk Empire, just incredible.

He's done so much work and on so many shows and Boardwalk Empire and Tulsa King are just a couple of them in the list of things that he has written and produced. And so very sad. Dave Flabody. F-L-E-B-O-T-E.

I know, I apologize. Dead at the age of 65. Then we have Gerald Harper. Gerald Harper, a veteran British actor, dead at the age of 96. Now, we don't know where he is. died, but we know that he's dead. Oh, okay. Yeah, we reported, we found out from the family that he's dead, but we don't know where he died at. Okay. So, Gerald was, I mean, he was in all kinds of stuff,

and he was a big stage actor, and he was in a bunch of shows in the 60s and 70s. He is, I don't know that he has, oh yeah, that guy's status. Because that's pretty big. That's a big leap. All right. Okay. Oh, yeah, that guy, that's a big leap, man, that's a star. But this guy, Gerald Harper, is, oh yeah, him. That's his status. It's not a bad status to have. It's just that's the status he has. He isn't a superstar.

He is in a, oh, yeah, that guy. He's a, oh, yeah, him. He has passed away at the age of 96. Then we have Tim. Cronin, Tim Cronin, dead at the age of 63. You remember, Tim. He's the Monster Magnets founding drummer. Duh.

And apparently, he was diagnosed with ALS, and I do not recommend that for anyone, which is a progressive and incurable neurodegenerative disease. Yeah, it is not fun. That's not fun at all. There is a GoFundMe page created by his stepdaughter to assist his wife, in his health care expenses.

So, I mean, if you want to help him out, go ahead. That's awesome. According to reports, Cronin was the founder of Monster Magnet and played drums with Dave Weindorf and Monster Magnets released when they released their debut EP. Yeah, who can forget Monster Magnet.

He was also known for this podcast in New Jersey from this comic store. I guess he ran a music shop in Jersey called Jack's Music Shop. Then he was part of this podcast that he did with a guy who owned Red Bank's Secret

Stash comic shop. So he was a big star there too. So Tim Cronin, rest in peace, dead at the age of 63. Then we have a soon-to-be who died today. Ralph Leroy Menzies, 67, is scheduled

for execution on the 5th of September. He has been sentenced by a judge in Utah for his execution date on September 5th to be done by firing squad. He had a choice. So they filed his death warrant and there you go. He's going to do a firing squad death

on September 5th. Now, he's had a couple of different death dates set and they've been postponed. now they say that he's got dementia and he doesn't understand what's happening. But the judge, he went before a judge and apparently the judge said,

look, he consistently and rationally understands why he faces execution despite recent cognitive decline. And of course the attorneys are filing for reassessment and we'll see what happens on that. But for right now, Ralph Leroy Menzies, age 67, will be executed. on September 5th.

He is in prison and on death row for a 1986 abduction and murder of Utah mother of three, Maureen Huntsokker. And he, it was terrible. I mean, all these guys did terrible things when they killed the people that they killed.

And he's been on death row for far too long. I mean, this murder happened in 1986. And we still haven't taken care of this guy. I mean, okay. And I get that they say, I guess, the Supreme Court has spared several prisoners with dementia from execution, saying that if a defendant cannot understand why they are being put to death, then the execution is not carrying out the

retribution that society is seeking. I could not disagree more. I'm sorry, no, it does carry out the retribution that society is seeking. The family then has closure. This guy is done there's no way that he can harm anyone in my family or anyone else's family ever again. I do disagree with that. So we'll see if this actually takes place. It also said in the story, and I did not know this, and I'm a little mad at myself for not knowing this. Okay. So according to this, 25 men in the U.S. have died by court-ordered execution so far this year. Okay.

So there are 10 more people scheduled to be put to death in seven states for the rest of, for the remainder of 20, 25. So we'll see if it actually takes place. I don't know that, as I want to say, I don't know. I don't remember it being 25. That seems like a high number of people that have been executed. I missed a few. Sorry. Darn it, I missed a few.

I've got, I'm going to have to update my. my alert system so that I get alerted when these people get executed better than I get alerted already. So so far, Utah last executed a prisoner by firing squad in 2010. South Carolina just used the method on two men earlier this year. Idaho, Mississippi, and Oklahoma are the only other states that allow firing squads by execution. So we'll see if this actually takes place. If he's got dementia, I'm guessing that someone is going to say, no, no, no, let him be in jail. Let's take care of him all this time in jail.

Who cares about the family that's still suffering from their mother being killed? Who cares about that? 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. It's just $39.99. How could I resist? This luxurious wool 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. Yet another story talking about cancer rates exploding and no mention of that.

So they say here the headline. Cancer rates in Australians under 50 are rising at a pace that's alarming doctors and scientists. Really? Really? And I read the entire article that's talking about how these people are having this amazing cancers that they haven't had before. A 39-year-old with advanced bowel cancer. And I don't wish these on anyone. but Australians aged in their 30s and 40s are experiencing unprecedented and in some cases world leading rates of at least 10 different types of cancer. And scientists are desperate to understand why. Me too. I wonder why. Now, I read this entire article and some of the things that they talk about are absolutely true.

They're talking about, you know, they're talking about the plastics that we eat. We're talking about all kinds of environmental issues that could be causing this. And there are, you know, there are different types of breast cancers and all of that. And they go through the numbers of between 2000 and 2012. So they go back to 2000 in 30 to 39-year-olds. Early onset, prostate cancer increased by 500%. Pancreatic cancer by 200%. by 200% liver cancer by 150% uterine cancer by 138% kidney cancer by 85%.

Okay, so I would like to maybe go back to, I don't know, 20, 2020, and let's forget about the 20 years before that and see those numbers. But okay, let's just say that we're going back to 2000 and we're going to try to figure out why those numbers are so high. And again, I get it. A lot of things could be causing an uptick. But this, a huge of a jump, not one mention. Not one mention of that.

They want to go through this entire, it's environmental factors, lifestyle, connections and interactions, and we're trying to figure out exactly what could be causing this. and we need a childhood obesity, and we need to increase, you know, everybody's knowledge on how to stop this, and diabetes, and all of it.

They mention everything. That absolutely could be some of what's driving the numbers up. But not one mention of that. That is almost criminal in and of itself. Not one mention. Not one doctor in this entire story. well you know it could be that

oh but we're looking into that nothing not even a mention and don't forget Australia was the I think they destroyed that entire study at least they put it away and they've got it locked it away where nobody could get at it where they were

that they were studying all the side effects from that and now that's just gone away wonder why that is wonder why that information on side effects from that would just disappear. Why would you want to make that just go away? Huh. Makes you wonder. Doesn't it? It does make one wonder like, I wonder. I wonder why. I wonder why that is. Because I'm just, I'm amazed. I actually literally I am, I am amazed that not one mention in this entire story and it's a long story.

Now one mention. Yeah, you know, maybe it could be that. Nothing. Nothing. It's all just... Maddening is what it is. Maddening. Ugh.

All right, let's do a joke of the day. I told you yesterday I had several from Sherpaman. But I did get one sent to me from Pat. And not that Pat. I don't think it is. It's Pat with some zip code number after his name. And I've done... And actually I laughed at the joke.

So I'll give you a couple of Sherpermans to end, you know, to end his reign as joke of the day writer. What do you call incorrectly cooked meat? I don't know, Jeff. What do you call incorrectly cooked meat? A mistake. Get it because it's a, yeah, you got it. How do bears keep cool?
