Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Okay, it's solved. Italian authorities have arrested a suspect yesterday in the Nord Stream Gas Pipeline Explosions. The arrest at Germany's direction is the first of its kind following the September
Starting point is 00:00:49 2022 attacks. The suspect, a 49-year-old Ukrainian citizen identified by German prosecutors as Shurhay K. He allegedly used a yacht, chartered from a German port, using forged documents, to sail with a small crew near a Danish island in the Baltic Sea. Divers went roughly 230 to 260 feet underwater to detonate explosives, damaging two of the 23 pipelines built to deliver gas from Russia to Europe. Pipelines were not operational at the time due to sanctions against Russia. Investigators found traces of explosive material, oxygen,
Starting point is 00:01:28 on the yacht and on the blast sites. The suspect will be extradited to Germany, which is the last of three countries investigating the attack. Germany has issued one other arrest warrant for a Ukrainian diving instructor, identified as Vladimir Z. The Ukrainian government, of course, denies any involvement. And, I mean, the United States has denied any involvement,
Starting point is 00:01:53 even though our president of that at the time said that, we're bringing an end to Nord Stream, no matter what. But he didn't mean that, right? So it's solved. I was just these guys that got together and rented a boat and then took it out and dove down and used explosives and blew up the pipelines. Simple. Duh.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. We've had nothing but restaurants in the night. news the last couple of days. So it's restaurants in the news. I mean, we've got breaking news today, or, you know, actually broke yesterday, that White Castle is now coming to Texas. It's, you know, everybody knows about the fast food restaurant, White Castle, don't they? I mean, it's the bite-sized slider burgers, and they have not been in Texas. I do, they are terrible. I would rank White Castle up there with Whataburger.
Starting point is 00:03:15 They're terrible. But they're coming to Texas and we're supposed to be happy about it. If you're not sure what White Castle is, the White Castle burger, also known as a slider, it's a small square hamburger made from a blend of, well, this is how they explain it. It's made from a blend of ground beef seasoned with proprietary blend of spices. It features a thin square patty, cooked on a bed of onions, which enhances its flavor. The burger is topped with a processed cheese slice, served on a soft steam bund. Signature additions include pickles and finely chopped white onions,
Starting point is 00:03:53 which add a tangy and sweet flavor. The burger is known for its simplicity and affordability, making it beloved fast food. No. It is beloved, but not from of the fat, chewing the fat and Jeff Fisher. Sorry, no. But they are coming to Texas, so good, because yesterday we had the, cracker barrel story that broke and
Starting point is 00:04:16 man they have been taking some serious heat I don't know what they've lost a bunch of money on the stock market because of the story broke the news she did her little infomercial on Good Morning America to try to sell it I saw the I saw some pictures of some of the
Starting point is 00:04:34 revamped cracker barrels the remodeled the renew rehashed cracker barrel it's just generic blah, just like the sign, just generic and blah. So if that's what they want, that's what you're going to get at Cracker Barrel is just generic and blah. I did read a great review about Cracker Barrel and restaurants in general, but specifically Cracker Barrel,
Starting point is 00:04:58 that really what they need to be concerned about is upping their game as far as the food. Because the food, I know, duh, but it's been a hard time since the pandemic to get good help. good waiters and waitresses, plus to get good cooks and kitchen help that actually stick around and work. And so, you know, the food has been neglected. And so it hasn't been as good as it used to be. Maybe they work on that. And that's a tall order. You know, all restaurants are struggling from that, or many are struggling from that these days.
Starting point is 00:05:35 So, you know, that's a big problem. I don't know what kind of chef it takes to make a White Castle burger, but I'm sure that you don't have to have a chef's degree. You may have to have a White Castle degree, but you don't have to have a chef's degree. Then we also got this. Everybody wants to jump on the beat-up Cracker Barrel game. So Steak and Shake was beating up on Cracker Barrel as well.
Starting point is 00:06:02 So I would say that Stake and Shake needs to sit down. And maybe this time you don't say anything. No. Maybe this time you just don't say anything, okay? Their CEO had to say, reached out and said, We're, hey, yeah, we're going to take aim. We're from Indianapolis, and they claim that Cracker Barrel is allegedly abandoning its roots. Oh, and I don't necessarily disagree with that.
Starting point is 00:06:35 But the Steak and Shake CEO said that sometimes people want to change things just to put their own personality on things. Oh, man. And then it went on to talk about how at Steak and Shake, we take pride in our history, our families and American values. All are welcome.
Starting point is 00:06:57 We will never market ourselves away from our past in a cheap effort to gain the approval of trend seekers. I will say this. I used to love Steak and Shake. I am a was a fan of steak and shake I want to be in my heart in my heart
Starting point is 00:07:15 I still am a fan of steak and shake but the last time most of the steak and shakes in this neck of the woods have closed the pandemic took them out but there's a steak and shake not far from here
Starting point is 00:07:30 that's still open but I don't I mean it says steak and shake on the side but the last time that I got something from there It did not taste or resemble the steak and shake that I remember. I don't know. The fries did not look at worse.
Starting point is 00:07:48 They weren't as good. They were like regular fries. That's right. They weren't the steak and shake fries. The double beef burger with cheese wasn't the same. They didn't have chili, which maybe they were out. I don't know. But you get the steak and sake chili with the bag full of little crackers
Starting point is 00:08:07 and the little oyster crackers and the shake is a thick chocolate delicious shake. It was not that. So maybe, just maybe, steak and shake needs to sit down and take a real hard look at this pride in your history
Starting point is 00:08:24 that you have and get back to it because what I was a part of, it was lost. So don't be hollering at other restaurants saying you're so good when perhaps you need to take a look at yourself. Man, I mean, I don't know why they just don't get a hold of me. Dig an email me, chewing the fat at theblaze.com, duh.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I mean, I'm happy to help them out, no problem. You know what you can do, though, really is just reach out on X at Jeffrey JFR. Maybe Instagram and Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. You know, if you need me to do an advertisement for them, they can send me a coupon, And then I'm happy to do a cameo for him. You know, that's going to cost them money, but that's cheaper than a full ad campaign to the beginning, though, to get you back on your feet again at Jeffrey JFR on the Cameo app.
Starting point is 00:09:18 And I won't charge you anymore than I charge anyone else. But, well, I will because I need a coupon for, you know, some steak and check. I need to go there and, you know, investigate before I do the ad, you know. So you just, you can send me a coupon or just drop some cap on. just drop some cash into my PayPal at Jeffey's CTF. It's fine. You can do that.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I'm okay with that. I'm willing to do that for you, steak, because I want you to succeed. And I want you to start opening up storage again instead of closing them. And I want you to go back to your roots like you claim you still have.
Starting point is 00:09:53 And you're going to beat up on Cracker Barrel and yet yours has gone away. So there's that. You know what I'm saying? Now, you can be sure, since I mentioned all my socials, They can follow me on my YouTube page too, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
Starting point is 00:10:08 You know what? I'll do a short. I'll do a short. I may even do a long-form video for them. If they, you know, they drop some money in the PayPal. They can get that on YouTube. No problem.
Starting point is 00:10:22 I'm happy, happy to do. I'll do an infomercial. Man, I'll do a live shot at the steak and shake. And, I mean, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. then that costs extra. If you're going to, if you're going to start, you know, wanting me to be integrating it in the show, that's going to cost you more money.
Starting point is 00:10:44 But I will do, I will do an infomercial on my YouTube page for you. But get back to your history because sometimes you just need to take a look in the mirror. Don't look at me like that. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

So we find out yesterday, I guess the night before, that our boy, a little Naz-X, was a handcuffed and taken into police custody after he was spotted wandering the Los Angeles streets in nothing but his underwear and cowboy boots. So?
Starting point is 00:12:00 I mean, so what? You know, I know he's Mr. Superstar. Little Nas X, hello, Old Town Road, superstar. and now apparently motorist called police after responding this nearly nude man walking down Ventura Boulevard this California I'm sure you've seen that before
Starting point is 00:12:20 I'm sure you've seen nude people walking down the street before and plus we've all seen the naked cowboy I mean the naked cowboy runs around in a cowboy hat and his underwear and a guitar that's in New York and I've seen the naked cowboy in other cities I mean he's come to I've met him several times
Starting point is 00:12:38 in his travels. So he just shows up. Believe me. That's how he shows up, okay? Although I have not seen the naked cowboy in a while. So maybe he's giving that gig up. Maybe COVID knocked. Maybe we lost the naked cowboy due to COVID.
Starting point is 00:12:54 We have to look that up. Okay, you can rest easy. The naked cowboy is still with us. We did not lose him over COVID. And he's still out there. This report that I read that I'm reading right now it's dated January of this year. All right.
Starting point is 00:13:12 And it still claims that Broadway and the Times Square is still the home of the naked cowboy. So my man, Robert John Merck, born in 1970, who is actually the naked cowboy,
Starting point is 00:13:31 is still doing it and he's out there making this move. So good for him. He's a good guy. I like him. He's funny. And this is a good gig for him. I don't know if he's made a fortune from it, but we can only hope that that's the case, can't we? So anyway, a little Naz-X, wandering the streets of California,
Starting point is 00:13:48 in his underwear and his cowboy boots, and I think he has a cowboy hat on too. He's just stomping down the streets of Ventura, and people were calling. And so now, so he's walking down the streets, and people are filming him. Hey, no, nah, nah, nah. Hey, don't be late to the party tonight.
Starting point is 00:14:08 We're at. you know where it's at no where's at go ahead babe go ahead no no no no no no no no go ahead babe didn't I tell you to put the phone down oh yeah see now he's good I will say this pause for just a second he's really high
Starting point is 00:14:26 there's no question about that you can quote me on that he's really high and so he's out there in his underwear in his cowboy boots and you know he's singing and people are filming him so he's He's mouting off to him. So then this goes on for a little while. Yeah, no, duck, duh, da, da, da. All right. So then the police show up, because they apparently have to do something. And they don't have anything else to do.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Yeah, no doubt. All right. So then the police show up because they apparently have to do something and they don't have anything else to do. mess with a man just walking down the street in his underwear and his cowboy boots, singing around singing a song, okay? So by the time police got there, they claim the police say that he was appearing to have an overdose. Okay. So they claimed that he charged at police, so they subdued him and handcuffed him and put him into custody.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Is that possible? Sure. I'd like to see the body cam footage of that, please. So paramedics then arrived on the scene, and the police informed them that NAS had suffered a possible overdose, and he was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. They're saying now that he may be out. I don't know if they're going to hold him,
Starting point is 00:15:59 but they weren't going to charge him with anything. What are they going to charge him with? Oh, he's singing in the street. Oh, okay. So I guess that he was, you know, they can hold him for a psychological discharge. dress and you know maybe has some maybe there may be some substance
Starting point is 00:16:15 abuse issues there you know one thing leads to another but it's California and come on man what are we doing it's little Naz-X why don't you give the man a ride home he charged at us okay so you and the police officers were scared
Starting point is 00:16:31 the little Naz-X in his underwear and cowboy boots charged at you come on now I want to see the footage I want to see the footage I mean thank you Thank you for keeping the streets safe And thank you for keeping Lil Nas safe And doing your job

Now, I said this morning during Pat Gray unleashed that I'm not going to be hosting it. I'm not going to be a part of it. They have not asked me to be a part of Revival Sunday. many of you online, more specifically posting on X,
Starting point is 00:18:49 that they need me as hosting at the Revival Sunday shows. I would consider it if they asked, but they did not ask because I feel like they know that if I hosted Revival Sundays, you know, if I was going into a church sermon, say, from Prestonwood Baptist Church, we're going to Prestonwood Baptist Church this Sunday. And, you know, we're going to open up the show with, you know, with Revival Sunday, with Jeff Fisher host of Revival Sunday doing the show. It would have to be welcome to Revival Sunday on Blaze TV.
Starting point is 00:19:37 And now we go to Prestonwood Baptist Church. Yeah, they don't want that. So, you know, it's not going to happen. I will say congratulations to Logan Paul. he just got married. I know. Man, these guys are, uh,
Starting point is 00:20:17 are world breakers, man. So, uh, they had this huge wedding, of course, duh. Uh,
Starting point is 00:20:25 and, uh, his wedding, his wife is Nina Agdil. Nina. Amorpha Phallis. Agdil. No,
Starting point is 00:20:34 that's his nickname for her, but a real name is Nina Agdell. Okay. And they had a late Cuomo wedding. And of course, they had the dreamy ceremony and of course you can't be a paul without having some sort of internet recap which they did and you saw the you saw them and amazingly uh she's holding a little baby
Starting point is 00:20:54 so i don't know that i knew that uh they already had a kid but the picture here of the wedding picture is Logan Nina Agdahl. He calls her Amorphophalus. That's his nickname and the little baby. Maybe the baby's name is a morphophalus. I don't know. I just realized that the picture has the baby in it. So was it a shot gun? No, a shotgun wedding. You're pregnant.
Starting point is 00:21:22 After you've already had the kid, yeah, then we'll get married. I promise, just have the kid first. Okay. So they show them all coming down the steps. Of course, Jake is there and the rest of the, the rest of his posse is all coming down the stairway. And then the video after the wedding is, Jake and Logan punching the wedding cake and that's their big slam into the wedding cake. It's part of
Starting point is 00:21:48 the Paul wedding. So congratulations to Logan for getting married to Nina Agdahl. And their young child. Amorph a phallus. I will say if you're listening live, today is the 22nd of August in 2025 and football season begins this weekend, college football, which I am excited about. Week zero for college football. And I'm looking forward to it.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Although, you know, am I going to watch very many games? No. You know, I'm going to watch a little bit of the Iowa State, Kansas State game. That's the first game up out of Dublin, Iowa. Or Dublin, Ireland, should be Dublin, Iowa, America. Then there's a few other games that will be worth watching. But just know that my point is that Saturday, starting at noon, actually 11 a.m. Central.
Starting point is 00:22:46 There's going to be college football and it's going to go all day long. So college football will be there. I know. I know. I know I'm a freak. I got it. Thursday night, Missouri plays. So we'll see how Missouri looks this year. Thursday night, Nebraska plays.
Starting point is 00:23:02 And then Saturday, Pat Gray's BYU plays, but really the big game is Ohio State, Texas. First game up. First game up, baby. It's going to be awesome. And I was thinking this the other day that it's a long season and anything can happen. And even whatever team loses that game can still come back and have a great season and make it to the playoffs and win the championship. But this game sets the tone for this year, especially for these two teams.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Whether Ohio State still has it again and whether they need to move, you know, whether they have it again, they're going to repeat that national championship or at least think they. They are. They have to beat Michigan this year, but this game, they really need to win. They need to beat Texas. And Texas needs to come into Ohio State and beat Ohio State. Man, they need that. It has to happen. Texas needs to come in.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Arch Manning needs to look like, well, a Manning and beat Ohio State. If that happens, if Texas comes into Ohio State and defeats Ohio State, holy cow. They might run Ryan Day right out of Ohio That next Saturday Ryan Day may I hope he has bought another house With the new contract money Because he may need to move
Starting point is 00:24:24 Don't tell anybody where you're at Just know that get out of the stadium alive And go where no one knows you are That may actually happen And then I see where The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox premiered on Hulu this week I may have to catch a little bit of that
Starting point is 00:24:39 I mean she They put her in jail for murder man. It took for a couple years for her to get out of there. Just amazing. Peacemaker started season two, although I was reminded yesterday because I said, I was writing this in my show notes and my son was there and I was like,
Starting point is 00:24:55 yeah, season two, peacemakers started, starts today on HBO. You haven't even seen season one yet. So apparently I can't watch season two until I watch season one. So, yeah, I don't want the peacemaker cops coming to arrest me or anything. So I'll start with, I'll start with
Starting point is 00:25:10 one, okay? I won't go to two. I promise. Wow. Oh, oh, we have to. I have to tell you to talk about this, and it's kind of agonizing, and it just kind of irks me a little.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Be sure to pay attention to your automatic payment plan on your debit card or your credit card or your checking account, your bank statement, your PayPal or your Venmo or wherever, whatever you have automatically taken out to pay your streaming fee, Apple is raising their price. The company announced that they're going from
Starting point is 00:25:49 $9.99 a month, $9.99 a month for Apple to $12.99. $3.3 a month increase for Apple Plus. Oh, and by the way, it goes into effect immediately. And so if you are not a regular subscriber right now, it's $12.99 a month. Oh, and you regular subscribers, yeah. That goes into effect right now
Starting point is 00:26:10 in your next billing cycle. There's no downtime of $9.99. It's just you're paying that $12.99 right now. So when your next billing cycle rolls around, it's $12.99. Okay. Now, the good news is, this is Apple speaking, the annual $99 Apple TV Plus subscription is not getting a price height. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Apple One bundlers, that starts at 1999 or 1995 a month. Oh, that's nice. And listen, the latest increase marks the third point. price hike for Apple TV since its launch in 2019. That's not bad. We only launched at $4.99 in 2019. And, you know, now it's, you know, 1299. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Just get over it. Okay, we've got bills to pay. It says in this story about this that it talks about them the last time they raised their prices in 2023. We got it. But it says here that they're losing, and I don't know that I actually believe. leave this, but they say that they're losing $1 billion
Starting point is 00:27:17 a year on Apple TV Plus. If that's true, holy cow, three bucks a month is not going to save that. I'm sorry, no. Now, I appreciate all their content. Well, let me rephrase that. I appreciate the content I like on
Starting point is 00:27:33 Apple Plus. You know, they've got some of their content's pretty good. I really enjoyed it, and I'm enjoying Chief of War now with Jason Momoa. I have not looked, it was, it says that it's based on a true story. I don't want to know what's changed until after it's over, okay? So I don't want to know.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Don't tell me, oh, no, it's based on a true story, but this didn't really happen. He didn't really fall down and kill that guy. Okay. I just want to know when the show's over, then I'll look to see, you know, what got changed for the show. But right now, I don't want to know. I just want to know that. I just want to enjoy what I'm watching Chief of War with Jason Momoa.
Starting point is 00:28:10 It's been really good. I think we're three or four episodes in. something like that. Whatever. It was nice to them to drop the first two and then it's once a week. I appreciate that so much. Just drop the show! Let me watch it!
Starting point is 00:28:25 But they don't. But if they're losing a billion dollars a year on Apple TV Plus, wow. That's pretty incredible. They say here that NBC Universal's Peacock, that's right. We talked about that. They raised their price to three bucks.
Starting point is 00:28:42 last month, too. So I'm not sure what it costs for NBC. What is it for NBC Peac? They rose to three bucks, whether it's six or seven bucks a month, 1099, 1099 to support NBC Peacock. I'm not doing that. They don't give me enough content.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I can get my NBC Peacock, although I think I actually have it. Now that I say that, I'm not doing that. And I think I actually have it because we got it through some other plan. Oh, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:29:12 That's, yes, because. I got Peacock for free. I'm going to have to cancel it now for 10. I didn't know it was up to 11. 11 bucks. It killing me. I got it for free for like the first 30 days. And then it went to $6.99 or something like that.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Well, I guess it was $7.99. But I thought it was six. I remember seeing six for Peacock. And so I was going to get rid of it. And my wife sits down and goes, you know some of those shows on Peacock I really like they're doing a good I like a lot of that content on there
Starting point is 00:29:46 okay well we're not getting rid of that then I'm not getting rid of that then I'm not getting rid of I said I was getting ready to cancel it oh I would might as well just keep it I've been watching a lot of stuff on there okay so now I got Peacock I got Paramount Plus
Starting point is 00:30:00 Paramount Plus with commercials by the way so it's the cheapest version of it which I live with so then we have what I got Netflix they keep raising their prices. The Apple Plus TV that I have, I get free from my cell service.
Starting point is 00:30:18 I don't know how much longer that lasts. I'll get another hit for $80,000. Oh, you automatically agreed to the year pass for taking the free service for a year from your cell service. So I'll get dinged $100 for that. I can feel that coming. So maybe you should pay attention to this, Jeff. And then I've got Hulu Live.
Starting point is 00:30:40 And this, I'm telling you, the Disney thing really has got me concerned because Hulu Live is going to go away. Hulu is going all the way because they're going to Disney Plus, though. That's in a year. And then with the Hulu Live plan that we have, through that plan, I think I get HBO Max and I pay for ESPN Plus extra because I want to watch college football games. And I can get them all with ESPN Plus.
Starting point is 00:31:04 You can't get some of the Big Ten games because you have to have the Big Ten network. I know. I got it. But you know what? Oh, darn, I can't watch Minnesota. Darn. I'll get over it. So, but most of the time, you can catch most of those games anyway on other platforms,
Starting point is 00:31:23 like on Peacock and stuff like that. Just let you know. Or I could go to Buffalo Wild Wings and watch it there, which may end up happening because all these platforms are starting to get way too expensive. And when it hits the point, and I don't know what that point is. I don't know. I don't know what that point is. I don't know when the straw
Starting point is 00:31:44 drops on my back that breaks it. But it's pretty freaking close, man. It's pretty freaking close. I mean, I didn't even mention Blaze TV. So, I mean, I've got the straw.

Starting point is 00:32:27 And until enough of that happens, they're going to continue to raise their rights. And maybe they just shut it down. If they're losing a billion dollars a year, you know what? Jason Mamoa can make his chief of war and say, sell it to Paramount Plus then. He's made enough money now.

Starting point is 00:36:33 Don't do it. Don't do it. I won't hear of it. It's a Lillian of Hirstleifer dead at the age of 97. Rest in peace. Yeah, I don't think Lillian ever set up a place in Harlem. There was plenty of other places she went to. in the five boroughs or in the four boroughs.
Starting point is 00:36:52 But she didn't go to Harlem. So the five boroughs were not in the Hirschleifer travel guide. But I don't know that. I just don't know that. I haven't had an opportunity to discuss the five borough travel guide with Lillian,
Starting point is 00:37:08 Hirschleifer. But I can't wait to do that. Well, now I have to because she's dead. So rest of peace. And then we have Brent Heinz. Brent Heinz, H-I-N-D-S, co-founder of the Grammy-winning metal band Mastodon dies in a motorcycle crash. What a way to go out.

Starting point is 00:38:47 thing. Even if you're not, Mastodon, you should be living your life the way you want to live it every day from this point forward. The question, when someone asked you, we've talked about it before, but when someone asks you, hey, what would you do if you knew that you would die in a week or 30 days or two days from now, what would you do differently? Your question, your answer should be nothing. You should be living your life exactly the way you want to live it right now. No if answer buts.
