With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Oh! Congratulations to Minnesota.

They have a legalized recreational marijuana. for adults. And it goes into effect in August. Ooh, I probably shouldn't have fired one up yet. Governor Tim Walts signed into law, a bill allowing marijuana possession for people 21 and older, expunging marijuana conviction records, and creating a new regulatory plan for the substance.

Marijuana will be legal to use, possess, and grow at home this summer. It will take a while longer for a new. new dispensaries and businesses to open under the new licensing system. So it's, it's common, Minnesota. Don't you worry about it. Now, that's the 23rd state to legalize recreational marijuana. I was looking through the list. We have 30 some odd states that have medicinal marijuana legal and 30 some odd states

that have decriminalized it. So isn't it about time? that we just make marijuana legal. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. All right, some headlines and some stories that we need to know, but do we really care? You need to know it, all right?

Chipmaking giant, Navidia, briefly saw its market value rise above $1 trillion. fueled by its key role in supplying hardware and software for AI applications. The company becomes the ninth worldwide to have eclipsed the mark. Apple, Amazon, alphabet, Google, Microsoft, and Saudi Aramco currently remain above $1 trillion because they kind of slipped at the end of the day. They went up over a trillion, and then by the end of the day, they dipped to $992 billion.

So good for them. Congratulations. The video was founded in 1993. And they also announced that the world's largest advertising agency, WPP, said it would team with Nivietta to build content. So everything was great until a little while they decided, you know what? No, you're not going to be over a trillion. You're only going to be $992 billion.

So congratulations for at least eclipsing that $1 trillion mark even for a short period of time. Horse racing, regulatory officials held an emergency summit yesterday after 12 horses died at Churchill Downs. I don't know that I knew it was 12. Wow. In the past five weeks, 12 horses have died two over a Memorial Day weekend, two more over a more on the weekend. Wow. The horse racing integrity and safety authority, and who doesn't love the H-I-S-A, called the meeting over concerns about what it describes as an unusually high number of fatalities, which comes amid a downward trend in the sports fatal injury rate over the last four years.

Okay. So veterinary teams from the H-I-SA, the horse racing integrity and safety authority. Churchill Downs and Kentucky Horse Racing Commission convened in Lexington, Kentucky to review available information on fatalities. All right. Now they still have the one guy trainer, Safi Joseph Jr., he's been suspended pending the investigation. So we'll see.

I mean, seven of the horses suffered injuries between April 27th and May 6th, the Kentucky Derby, two of which were trained. by this Safi Joseph. So those had to be put down. I mean, they were injured and said, oh, no, you're not going to be able to make it. Sorry about it. Pretty sure they didn't shoot it, but, you know, I would have.

And then, of course, we have the Belmont Stakes. The last leg of the Triple Crown is going to take place June 10th, so we're 10 days away. So they're trying to avoid having more untimely injuries to their horses. That's for sure. More headlines of stories that you should know. but I don't know, do you really care? Well, of course you do. For centuries, the Great Lakes have provided vital access to the Midwest

from the Atlantic Ocean, allowing the establishment of key trading outposts and ultimately the growth of major cities in the region, the Great Lakes. Hello. Michigan is the Great Lake State, the state that I was born in. But if you don't know what the Great Lakes are, just remember Holmes, H-O-M-E-E-E. E.S. Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior. Okay, those are your Great Lakes.

An estimated 6,000 vessels were lost on the Great Lakes with approximately 1,500 of these ships located in Michigan waters. So you can still find one. Get out there. Find yourself a ship. See if there's anything worthy to bring back up. Good luck. God bless with that.

A few more headlines that you need to know, but we'll see if, you know, you do. I know you care, but it's just stuff you need to know. Twitter is now worth one-third of the 44 billion Elon paid for the company. Ooh, Elon needs to make some moves on that. You can follow me on Twitter at Jeffie, JFR, by the way. The succession finale that we talked about yesterday, that was pretty good. I enjoyed it. And sorry to see the series go away, but it was, you know,

It was a worthy ending. I thought it should have ended even maybe worse for them. They had 2.9 million viewers, a record for the series. All right. Good for them, and I'm sure, you know, obviously with the series, there'll be plenty of a million-oh viewers left for that series. Goldman Sachs is reportedly considering its third round of layoffs in less than a year. Ooh.

As Wall Street dealmaking continues its slump. Yeah. I don't think that's... the only deal-making that's slumping. According to this, U.S. air traveler numbers topped 2019 levels, finally. Oh, wow. The Memorial Day weekend topped

the 2019 levels. So, I mean, we're back to pre-pandemic levels of flying. We'll see how long that lasts. We will see how long that lasts for sure. And we talked about the beluga whale that we believe is the we're being told that was the Russian

spy whale has now been seen off the coast of Sweden. So heads up out there. When you see the old beluga whale coming out at you with the camera on its back, look the other way because it's a Russian spy whale. And one last story that I thought should be maybe in the headlines as you should know about. And I kind of think it's really cool. A healthy newborn baby, a baby boy, was left unharmed in a Tennessee time of crisis safe haven box, just 30 minutes after birth. It was placed in the safe box at Fire Station 17 in Knoxville over the weekend. And it was a healthy newborn baby boy. It was about 30 minutes old.

It was left in the safe haven box. And it was, did not suffer any injuries. It was the first to be placed in a Tennessee safe haven baby box in Knoxville, which, you know, was really cool that's great i'd like to see more of that there are plenty of places around the country that uh have places where they don't have the safe haven box but they are a safe haven so if you have a baby and you you just have a baby and you can't do it and you just can't do it you can drop it off no questions asked and you know someone will take care of it and get it to being uh you know a viable human being i love it i love it instead of you bringing harm

or having an abortion. That is wonderful. I mean that, sincerely. I'd rather have it be dropped off than that. The Safe Haven Baby Box in Knoxville was installed at the station in February as an alternative for an anonymous parent to use in a time of crisis. Yeah, I mean, instead of being able to hand it over to a fireman or someone who's at the fire department or the police department or wherever the safe haystableness.

even is you can just put it in the box and go away anonymously. And the whole purpose of the box is to be a resource for the community. So the mother or the parent is in crisis and doesn't know what to do, has a place to go. Right. I love it. The 2001 state law allows mothers and newborns to surrender unharmed babies to designated facilities within two weeks of birth without fear of being. being prosecuted.

Good. As long as the baby is unharmed, child is surrendered within two weeks of birth. The mother or parents will not be prosecuted and is assured of complete confidentiality. So I'm glad to see that someone is using that. I hope more people do. I know that the, you know, I love,

there's plenty of other places in Tennessee and other places around the country as well that have, you know, hospital, birthing centers, community health clinics, walk-in clinics, EMS facilities, fire stations, any law enforcement facilities, those are all safe havens. I don't know that they all have the safe haven box, but they are definitely all safe havens. So if you have an issue after giving birth, man, don't do anything to the child. It's not the child's fault.

Just drop it off at the safe haven, wherever you're at. Please, let's do that. And it's so much better than harming the baby and putting yourself in a place where you could get prosecuted for doing something that he didn't need to do. Just amazing. Anyway, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Al Pacino, my main man, Al Pacino. I love Al Pacino.

He is now going to be a dad again. He's going to be a father. He is now the father of four. The 83-year-old actor and his girlfriend, Nur al-Fala, are expecting a baby. Yay! Now, she is 29. And she's been linked to Al since April of 2022. Didn't she say that she was complaining about living with Al and how he wanted to live in the dark most of the time?

I guess that doesn't matter. We're, so living in the dark doesn't matter with Al because I love him. And so what that he's 83 and I'm 29. So what that his oldest daughter is older than me, Julie Maria 33. So what that his twins, Anton and Olivia, are just a few years younger than me at the age of 22. So, so what? Because you're talking about love here, okay? Congratulations to Al and Noor for their new bouncing baby.

What's giving birth in about a month or so, according to reports. I saw a picture of her on Mother's Day, which wasn't that long ago. And it was kind of covered up. She was sitting at a table. And I was trying to see if you could make out that she was pregnant and you could not. So it was hid really well. But, you know, I guess we had to break the night. news sooner or later and TMZ broke the news.

And so Al is saying, hey, Robert Deuce Niro, you got nothing on me, pal. You're only 79. I'm 83, still kicking it out, baby. He just turned 83, though. So actually, when he fathered the child, he was 82. So no news, what's going to happen now that he's 83. De Niro, though, I just realized they, in this, This story here in its, uh, did this story.

Uh, they actually name De Niro's kid in here, which I had not seen before. Uh, the daughter of, uh, De Niro and girlfriend Tiffany Chin, uh, named their daughter, Gia Virginia Chen, Dush Nero. Now he spells it D.E. Nero. I guess he wants us to pronounce it De Niro, but everyone knows it's Duce Nero. I'm sorry. Gia, Virginia, Chin. That's just your last name from now on is Doush Nero.

Now, you can go and break away from that and just call yourself, Gia, just call yourself Virginia. Just call yourself Chen. But if you put the D-E-N-I-R-O at the end, it's D-E-N-I-R-O. It's just the way it goes. Yeah, that's what I thought back in February. She was, they did a piece on her, you know, still going out with Al, and talked about her being with Jagger before,

and apparently she's been with Clint Eastwood and billionaire philanthropist, Nicholas Berger, and she's making the rounds with the olds because she was waiting for somebody to give her a baby and Al Pacino was happy to oblige. However, I will say this, that in this article it talks about how Pacino, according to the article,

Pacino insists that Noor keeps all the lights low, so he doesn't have to see an old man in the mirror, wears only black or dark clothing to match his fashion motto, and be at his beck and call as his date even at the last minute. Yeah, that's what it has to be. Got it, Noor? It also added that Pacino has a reputation as a dottering old cheap skate. But she got her wish.

She had a baby on the way with Al Pacino. So she hit a home run with one of the olds. Hey, you remember Anna Delvey, right? The fake heiress, who was the inspiration behind the Netflix series Inventing Anna, which was really a great episode. You should watch it if you have a chance. She's currently under house arrest after being convicted of, you know, series of crimes, attempted grand larceny.

She is now, uh, ta-da, I'll give you three guesses. And the first two don't count on what Anna Delvey is going to be doing from her house arrest home. Ah, yes, you're right. She's going to be doing a podcast. Uh, I'm sorry, it's a weekly podcast series, the Anna Delvey show. So she's teamed up with audio up. the company behind the Playboy interview and a Sean Glass reunion audio on the project. The series will feature guests, including Julia Cumming, Whitney Cummings, Julia Fox, Jeremy Harris, Emily Radikowsky, Kenny Schachter.

Listen to the trailer below. No, I don't want to listen to the trailer below, but you can if you want. All right, fine. Let's listen to Anna. I'm Anna Dalvey, and this is the Anna Dalvey Show. Oh, wow. My second-inize my name is a character in the Netflix series. I do.

But now you get to meet the real me. On this show, I will dive into the concept of roles and talk with the people who create or break them. From art, politics, fashion, tech, finance, law, and more. The Anna Delvey show will share honest on filtered conversation that will question traditional notions of what's right and wrong. All recorded in my village apartment in New York will count to jail yourself. Yeah.

Is it, though, isn't it? The best podcast ever made. Isn't it? What was the basis that you've taken unicorn in this movie when I was 20 years old? Ah. You feel like is anyone truly canceled? They tried to cancel you. But from what?

That's a good question. Oh, that sounds. riveting riveting Anna Delme oh man that's a boy riveting

And I would like to see him live I know he's a douchey kind of guy But I do like his music Oh, what am I? Is this communist? I know I know but I'd like to still like to see him live I'm a fan of his work And so

So he apparently has been doing these concerts that he calls live and in-person tour. And he makes the, I guess there, he plays that, I don't know where he plays at. I haven't seen it promoted anywhere. But I guess he's playing at theaters, live and in-person tour. So he must be playing, must be picking theaters because this story happens in a theater in Cleveland. Okay. Now there are signs all over the theater that says attendees, he's going to cut the performance short if they don't follow etiquette,

theater etiquette. So following this 30-minute classic movie montage that opened the show, and I don't know what that is. It would be interesting to see what Melanchamp thinks is worthy of a 30-minute classic movie montage. But then he came out to do it. set and he said, I like people screaming from the effing audience. He had one ticket holder started saying, play the effing music.

That's funny. That probably would have been me had I been there. So then he got pissed. Listen, if these people don't shut the F up, I'm going to leave, okay? That's, if I'd have been there, that's what I would have said. Bye! But, because I'm not used to this. Look, guys, if I want to play this type of drunken environment, I'd play outside or I'd play in an arena.

Oh, okay. He had this similar warning when he played in Texas as well before his acoustic portion. In Texas, he said, hey, this is the quiet part. So keep your effing mouth shut. in Texas, the lady said, a lady in the audience said, yeah, John. And he goes, what did I just effing say? But thank you. So he did give her a thank you.

He didn't walk out. Well, calm down, John. All right, calm down. I would not be able to help myself. I would have had to have yelled. Yeah, this is the quiet part, so shut the F up. Yeah, I don't like the screaming F on audience anymore. Oh, that's too bad, John, that's too bad.

I know he has a new album coming up, and the title of the album is Orpheus Descending. It looks like to me, when I first saw it was like, that's the title of the album. Orifice Descending, yeah, that's John Mellencamp. That is the title of the album. album, Orifice Descending. If you get an opportunity to see John in his live and in-person tour, it's the 76 date

track. It's, oh, it's almost, oh, no, it's almost over. Oh, no. It's almost over. It's going to end June 24th. There's only 24 days left. If you're listening live, today is the 31st of May, 2023. So, well, 25, if you can't do it.

24 days in South Bend, Indiana is going to be his final live and in-person tour. Man, what I would give to be at that show. And I would give anything from your wallet to be at that show. And just play the effing music. I want to do that. Spirit leave. And then I wouldn't see him performing and I'd be bummed. Because some guy was hollering at him. And I don't know why they'd do that. If people don't shut the F up, I'm just going to leave. Bye.

Product availability varies by region. See app for details. Breaking news. Independent journalist A.J. Benza says he spoke to

someone in the room with Jamie Fox, who said Fox has a blood clot in the brain after getting vaccinated. According to the source, Fox did not want the vaccine,

but the movie studio forced him to get it if he wanted to stay in the film. Now, it ends with no word on the accuracy of this claim yet. Yeah. Yeah. And that's them saying it, not me. I didn't say. that about Jamie Fox. I'll tell you that. You're not listening. You're not listening if you think it was me.

Oh, speaking of COVID, did you see where 181 disease detectives tested positive for COVID after attending a CDC conference in Atlanta, Georgia? Huh. I didn't even know COVID was around anymore. Amazing, but I guess it is. So the conference, held in April at a hotel in beautiful Atlanta, was for epidemic intelligence service officers and alumni, of course. Oh, okay. The EIS personnel are sometimes called disease detectives and are charged with identifying and fighting outbreaks.

In fact, that could be a new show on Netflix next season, if there were writers. Decease detectives. Tonight's episode, COVID-19. A rapid assessment team conducted a survey of 1,443 conference attendees from May 5th to the 10th. Among those who responded to the survey, 70% were not wearing masks, nearly all had received at least one dose of a COVID vaccine, and none were hospitalized. Among those who tested positive, 52% reported no. known prior COVID infection.

27% received antiviral medications. Okay. Now, they make the big deal about it was during a period of low COVID community levels and masking was not recommended at the time. Oh, okay, no problem. Now, we

also, it says here, that organizer said attendees notified the conference on the last day of the event that they had tested positive for the virus. Huh. So the leaders, the disease detective leaders, reportedly made an announcement about the potential cases and took action to reduce further spread connected with the conference and related events. Well, isn't that special?

They also wanted to remind everyone that it was a mild illness, but it was just discomfort for several days. So that had to be the shout out to the vaccine for sure. As long as we're talking about disease detectives, I see where a new U.S. lab will work with deadly animal pathogens in the middle of, in Kansas, in the middle of farm country. Oh, I bet you Kansas is really happy about that. Oh, no, not really. They are a little unhappy about that.

The lab is equipped to handle some of the world's most dangerous viruses. It's a new, massive, high-security laboratory in Kansas, the first in the United States designed with pens and equipment such as cranes to move big animals tainted with the most hazardous, infectious agents. Wow. Although active research won't begin at the National Bio and Argo Defense Facility, the NBAF in Massachusetts. Manhattan, Kansas for a few years, the high-contaminate resource to deal with agricultural's important

pathogens is going to change the research landscape. Wow. It's going to be operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture has taken nearly a decade longer to complete than planned, and at $1.25 a billion, cost nearly three times as much as first predicted. Well, there's a big surprise. You know, we can get it in for you for about 30. For about 30 or 40 million. Ah, you know what? Let's make that 1.25 billion. So researchers and powerful Kansas politicians have supported the project, but Manhattan residents and farm groups have voiced concerns about handling pathogens dangerous to livestock and humans in the nation's agricultural heartland.

If a highly contagious animal that has disease escapes the lab, It would just shut down commerce. Uh, yeah, duh. So the NBAF is intended to be the new home for work done for more than 60 years at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, which is the federal lab on a tiny island in Long Island sound like an Alcatraz for diseases. Uh, 20 years ago or so, Plum Islands aging facilities and lack of, Titus biosecurity features prompted federal officials to start to plan an upgrade. Yeah, we started looking around saying, this thing's falling apart.

A little dangerous. Maybe we ought to build something else. Yeah, let's do that. Let's build that in Kansas. So the new facility will have more than 53,000 square feet of floor space. Officials say staff will follow strict safety protocols and use specialized equipment, such as plastic moon suits with their own air supply. The features help make NBAF a biosecurity level four lab.

The most secure ranking, Plum Island is a level three. Yeah, it's probably a level one by now with how dilapidated it is. It has equipment rooms designed to handle large animals, cows, pigs, which means scientists can study the diseases that are off limits at Plum Island. Oh, that's so good. It includes Crimean Congo hemorrhore. Comeragic fever, Japanese encephalitis, and Nipa, a virus carried by fruit bats that sicken pigs and people, killing between 40 and 75% of human patients.

Oh, that's so good. Being able to safely work with pigs could help reveal how NIPA virus spreads and help researchers develop countermeasures. Oh, that's great. I can see a NIPA vaccine, being a high interest item in coming years. Oh, that's great. That's great. So good news for Manhattan, Kansas, as they are getting ready to open the new high-security laboratory in Kansas,

the National Bio and Agro-Defense facility. That makes you feel proud, doesn't it? I mean, we actually need this. I know. We get it. I would rather have it here than in Ukraine. but that's just me. What about the ones we have in Wuhan?

Yeah, I'd rather have them here too. I'd rather have them here than there. But again, that's just me. For those of you worried about the green water in Venice, we had the big story over the weekend that the mysterious bright green water in Venice's Grand Canal, people were a little worried thinking that, hey, that's not good.

That water looking green down there with the bright green. That really doesn't look too good. And we're a little concerned. Well, don't worry about it, okay? Because the authorities were on the case immediately, and they've discovered that the strange color was caused by a non-toxic substance often used for detecting leaks. So everything's fine.

Don't worry about it at all. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won!

Feel the fun! The meeting will begin when passenger fisher is done celebrating. 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 18665330 or visit Comex Ontario.com. So who died today? Who died today? Well, we think he's dead. Cameron Robbins, 18. We'll say rest in peace and we'll hope that we find him. But there's footage showing him jumping off a cruise ship in the Bahamas on a dare six or seven days ago. If you're listening today, today live is 531, 2023. So on the 24th, fourth of this month. He was given a dare

to jump off a cruise ship and he did. He has still not been found. And unfortunately, the search has been suspended. So probably a good idea if someone says, I dare you to jump off of the

jump off of the cruise ship. Probably an idea to say, yeah, all right, you win because I won't do it. But, you know, how many times, you know, famous last words, watch this. I don't know that that was Cameron's last words, but certainly could have been. I mean, the footage shows him in the water. So he was still alive after he jumped.

But he started swimming away from the life buoy that was thrown out there. So, you know, who knows what happened to Cameron. But he is still missing. Then we have an Ohio farmer who gained internet fame through the meme that showed him standing there. It ain't much, but it's honest work. That farmer meme that went around was from Dave Brandt, who has now passed away. We lost him at the age of 76. He was driving back to his Fairfield County farm from Champaign, Illinois, and was in a terrible accident.

and subsequently lost his life. Very sad. He was a hard-working man, and, you know, obviously known for the meme, it ain't much, but it's honest work. Dave Brandt, dead at the age of 76. Now we have a nun in Missouri who died in 2019, so I mean we don't really want to put her on

who died today because it would be who died today in 2019. uh in a small town of gower missouri uh man love gower missouri but uh she was recently exhumed because they wanted to move her to the final resting place inside a monastery chapel of the uh benedictine sisters of mary queen of the apostles and so sister willa helma lancaster's body was being moved and they showed no visible signs of decomposition. Wait, what, yes.

Amazing. So now we're talking about people flocking to this small town of Gower, Missouri, to see the body of the nun because it's got to be something, right? You can quote me on that. It's got to be something. So apparently,

the practice is a long-standing, custom to place the remains of founders and founders and foundresses under the altar of the church, seemingly immune to the natural process of decay. The church calls them incorruptible saints. They say it's a sign of holiness and that the person lived a life so closely aligned with Christ that the normal processes are delayed.

That's pretty amazing. That is pretty amazing. Now, she was not embalbed, buried in a simple wooden coffin, which is said to have had a crack down the middle. And they claim scientists trying to say that because of the crack, a layer of mold grew inside. And we're told by cemetery personnel to expect just bones in the conditions that she was buried in without embalming.

That's what they were planning on. but we went out to her grave to save the rosary after the sisters finished the digging and they looked through the crack holy cow it was an intact foot with a sock on looking like it did when we buried her

wow so they were all happy and so they took turns they took turns feeling the still sock according to them it was still damp but it was there. The dirt that fell in early on had pushed down on her facial features,

especially the right eye, so we did not place a mask, a wax mask over it. But her eyelashes, hair, eyebrows, nose, and lips were all present. Her mouth just about to smile. After we cleaned off the mold and mildew because of wet conditions in the coffin,

it looked like we had just put the habit on her that day. This was a testament to her love for the sister, and what she was passing down to us who followed her. So what that means is that she was an incorruptible saint. It's a sign of holiness and that the person lived a life so closely aligned with Christ that normal processes are delayed. Pretty amazing.

Now, they could have put her in a mushroom coffin. They didn't because she's a nun, but they could have put her in the new mushroom coffin, which they're hawkin in the Netherlands. For those seeking to live in the most sustainable way, now you can do it. A Dutch inventor is now growing coffins. Oh, that's good. So they're putting mycelium,

the root structure of mushrooms, together with hemp fiber, in a special mold, then in a week turns into what would basically be compared to the looks of an un-painted Egyptian, off of this. And while the traditional wooden coffins come from trees that could take decades to grow, years to break down on the soil, the mushroom versions, bio degrades, it delivers the remains to nature in barely a month and a half.
