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. So, October 4th, 2023 at 2.m. Eastern. There's going to be an alert.

Yes, the emergency alert system or the A-E-A-S and the wireless emergency alerts or the WEA, or whatever you want to call it, okay? It's going to go off. So when you hear this, this is only a test. This is only a test for now. For now. Okay. So when you hear that, it's only a test, all right?

So it's going to be delivered in two parts. You're going to get the emergency alert system or the EAS and the wireless emergency alerts or the WEA. Oh, my God. Whatever you call it. All right. Then the EAS portion of the test, the seventh conducted by FEMA, will be sent to radios and televisions.

Now, I'm not sure if the FEMA alert will sound like this possible. I don't know. I don't know. But just know. The FEMA may be a little bit shorter than the others. Just know that it is only a test. Okay. Now remember the last test we got told us no action is needed. It's a test, the national wireless emergency alert system. I remember they did a cell phone one. That was

back in, I don't know, 2018, I think. Holy cow. Seems like another lifetime ago. But just remember that on October 4th, 2.20 p.m. Eastern Time. Just a test. No, no action is required. It's just a test. So remember that.

When you hear that on October 4th, because, I mean, We have to get this federal emergency management alert system up and running and make sure for your safety that you get it. Okay? For your safety. I'll be sure to remind you as we get closer to October 4th because I don't want you to be startled. I don't want you to just be driving down the road.

We have the sirens for the tornadoes here in Texas. and I have happened to, I've been driving by them when they test them the first of the month, first Wednesday of the month, I think it is. And man, if you're just driving into a neighborhood past the school that has that horn in the corner of the school yard and then all of a sudden, hopefully, I mean, you jump. I don't care who you are, you jump.

And then you realize it's only a test. There's no action as needed. Stop you're jumping. And shut up about it, okay? So welcome. Welcome to chewing the five. Yes, I still have this mung. I won't go away.

I feel fine. But I have this mung from here to here. And if you're listening on the podcast, you know it's from here to here. Okay, it's very simple. It's just above the chest or the lower throat. and just above the nose and I guess the eyes and it's just mung

and it won't go away and I've talked today's Wednesday so I was here for Pat on Leashed and so now I've talked my way into my voice saying that's enough Batman okay we only do so much so I'm gonna try to get

through this today and I want you to come with me I know I know I should just do an emergency alert system Maybe have, no, I don't want to hear that. I don't know. I should just have, I need to have like an AI bot or something. I can speak for me.

That's all. So Hurricane Adelia has made landfall. It made landfall in this big bend area of Florida. And according to everyone, it's an unprecedented event, except it's not really an unprecedented event. I mean, I've covered hurricanes. I lived in Florida. I bet you I covered at least a dozen. At least it doesn't.

And so it really isn't an unprecedented event. It's a hurricane that came into the Gulf of Mexico, developed in the Yucatan. Then it came up to the Gulf of Mexico. And it did exactly what I told you it would do. It was not going to hit Tampa Bay. It bounced off of that and went farther north. Because that scientist guy told me years ago,

on the air during Operation Stormwatch, one of the interviews we were doing it, You know, who knows, 2.30 in the morning, whatever it was. And he said, and he believed that Tampa Bay would not get a direct strike. It was around Charlie. That's right. It was around Hurricane Charlie, because Charlie was originally supposed to hit Tampa Bay dead on. And then everybody left Tampa, evacuated Tampa, went to Orlando.

And Charlie cut short underneath Tampa, and everybody in Orlando was hit by the storm. Ha! I wasn't laughing. Sorry. But my point was that he said. said that at that time that Tampa Bay wasn't going to get hit because the storm would either come up, go south, or would come up and go, oh, no, we're not going that way and bounce back off a little bit and shoot up farther north and then break east. And that's exactly what Adelia

did. Anyway, so I hope everyone's safe and the storm was made landfall. It was a category three when I made landfall. It was a category four at one point, close anyway, 130. When I made landfall, follows a cat three still dangerous a lot of flooding a lot of wind damage it's now uh you know according to the national hurricane center uh the arc is uh through you know florida off to georgia south carolina north carolina back into the atlantic so will those places will be historic events from hurricane adela you will be happening so and your travel will be affected so if you traveling anywhere in the south. Good luck.

Because you might as well just hang out at the airport because you're not going anywhere. Okay. Okay, good. Okay, we've talked about buying stuff at thrift stores and yard sales and garage sales and then, you know, making them being worth something, right? And I mean, I bought paintings from thrift stores before and you always open up the back. You want to see if someone left a note, if there's another picture. There's a drawing, if there's cash, whatever.

There's something. Unfortunately, everything I've purchased, that answer is no. Okay? But then I see the story where this lady buys this portrait of this girl for $25. And now she thinks it's cursed. So it's a portrait of this young girl in a red dress, and it's just the girl is, look, you know, staring. Now, I don't know that I would purchase this myself.

It's not bad, whatever, it's fine. I don't know that I would purchase it for me, but now apparently the picture has somehow taken over their lives. Yeah, the mother became weirdly protective over it. She was continually staring at it, rubbing her cheekbones, polishing it. And so now the daughter is all freaked out and saying that, hey, now the health has turned bad and she began feeling shaky and experiencing hot flashes.

Couldn't have been just a regular female thing. But whatever, I digress. I was overheating and not feeling quite right. Yeah, that's called menopause. No, oh, sorry. Oh, no. No, it's not. It's called Haunted Picture, is what it's called.

Okay. So now they don't know what to do. I don't know what I would do. I don't know if you burn it. I think that's what you do. I think you do. I think you burn it. You may, in fact, burn the entire home.

You may just put the painting in the middle of the house and torch it. Yes. So apparently, they've heard tapping at the door in the middle of the of the night now. And they write. I don't know what's happening, but the curse is part of the deal. Now, she bought the picture.

I find it interesting that in the beginning of the story, it says she's, the portrait of the young girl in the red dress staring into the distance, captured her attention from the start. After it was returned by its previous owners for ruining their lives, life. So if you knew that, perhaps you wouldn't have purchased it. No, I'm not looking at that

anymore. Okay, we're done. You sure you don't want it? No, I'm good. I'll spend my 25 on something else. Okay. So now the painting is back with the family sitting in a box outside the house resting next to some sage. The family's dog won't go near it. And she apparently is looking for someone to cleanse the portrait, a professional who can lift the curse. Here, this is what I tell you, okay? This is how you lift the curse, all right?

Walk it out to the middle of the yard. Put it on top of a pile of wood. and then sure you can shoot it first but really what I want to do is yes just burn it there you go you're welcome

you're welcome you know the problem is that if you were to start that painting on fire maybe it doesn't burn what then I mean holy cow you put a gunshot wound in it

and you burned it and it doesn't burn now we're looking at something else. You can email me Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com and we'll figure it out. Okay? Or you can hit me up on social media

X at Jeffrey JFR. Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio and maybe we can figure something out. I would, you know, I see the story about this guy who founded the Dear Death Experience Research Foundation who doesn't love the near-death experience research Research Foundation, which I actually am kind of fascinated with.

He founded it back in 1998. A radiation oncologist in Kentucky has studied more than 5,000 near-death experiences. He believes his research has proven the existence of life after death. Without a doubt, I do want to talk to this guy. We need to reach out to this guy and have him talk to us here on chewing the fat. he collects stories from those who have reported NDEs near-death experiences and scientifically analyzes the accounts. In the face of overwhelming evidence,

I've come to believe there is certainly an afterlife. Wow, pretty amazing. Each NDE is different. I've noticed several consistent patterns. About 45% of the patients report an out-of-body experience. Yeah, an OBE. Now, I've actually, now I won't talk about the OBEs.

Get into coast-to-coast-coast-am. But that could happen. Yeah, don't. The high desert. This, this coast-to-coast a.m. Tonight, O-B-E's. Now, one guy on coast-to-coast years ago thought that,

you know when you're out at night and you see shadows in the trees or shadows out there, those are people doing their out-of-body experiences. He said it, not me. I don't look at me. I'm just telling you. So 45% of it, back to the life after death. 45% of the patients report an out-of-body experience explained that people claim their consciousness separates from their physical body. usually hovering above, allowing them to see and hear what happens around them.

Now, these narratives have been confirmed by witnesses. Okay. I guess that would be, hey, this person was out, but I wake up and I said, you actually said this? Yes, I said this. This is what happened. Yes. So that's how you would confirm that. He said in a case of a woman who lost consciousness while riding a horse on a trail.

Stupid. but her consciousness, that's not a good idea. I don't recommend that when you're riding a horse to fall asleep. But her consciousness traveled with her horse as she galloped back to the barn. Camilla, is that you? She was later able to describe exactly what happened at the barn, even though her body wasn't physically there. Okay.

We have to talk to this guy. I want to talk to this guy. I want to talk to this Kentucky. what is he, a radiation oncologist from Kentucky. He founded the Dr. Jeffrey Long, founded the Near Death Experience Research Foundation. Yeah, let's click on the link of the enderf.org. Let's see where we're at.

Enderf is the largest near-death experience website in the world where science and spirituality come together. Okay, we're talking about. I reach out to the doc and see if we could get him on to talk about and DIRF. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink on my throat desperately. Well, congratulations are in order to Taylor Swift. Yes, more accolades.

She becomes the first female artist to hit 100 million monthly Spotify listeners. So congratulations to write. It's a party. Congratulations as being the first female artist in Spotify history because really number one spot is held by a man. So get over it. Okay, you're great, but you're not as good as a man. As of now, the weekend holds the number one spot

for monthly listeners on the app with more than 110 million. Wow, incredible. Bad Bunny comes in at number three with 80 million, and Ed Shearren, number four, with 77 million. Ed Shearant, 77 million. Wow. So congratulations to Taylor Swift as she is, you know, wrapping up her final leg of the eras to her,

or is she? Because I keep seeing where we're going to add more dates. Because I think she's like, well, we've got to add to, we've got to make some more money. We've got to make some more money, makes more money, makes more money, makes more money. I've got to beat Elton, I've got to beat Elton, I got to beat Elton. I got to beat Beyonce. I can't have Beyonce better than me.

Okay, I'm the number one female on Spotify. I've got to be the number one person. I've got to be on top. So that's coming. She'll keep going and tell that. And you know, good for her. Good for her. Good for her.

She's saving the planet using private jets and semis to put her equipment around. So good for her. Congratulations. Congratulations. We're proud of you. I mean it. Congratulations. I also see where good news, and this is not a big surprise,

if you thought CNN was going to get better. I see where they're set to name their new CEO in the coming days, and it's rumored that it's going to be the former New York Times CEO. Okay. All right. No problem. So this man, Mark Thompson, is supposed to be the network's next chairman and CEO. He's the former New York Times Company CEO and the BBC director. So he's going to turn that CNN right around, and he's got a reputation for restructuring legacy media. Does he?

Does he? Okay. Congratulations, hey. Congratulations. I hope it works out for you. Hope it works out for you. I do. Don't look at me like that.

So I talked about it the other day how excited I am about Equalizer 3 hitting the theaters. And I'm going to be able to see it tomorrow. Thursday, the 31st of August, 2023. If you're listening live today is the 30th of August. I'm going to do everything in my power. to get to a movie theater tomorrow afternoon because we do have some college football that starts tomorrow night.

So we got to watch some of that. But I'm going to do everything in my power to get to the theaters on Thursday afternoon to see Equalizer 3. I'm looking forward to it so much. And I'm going to be, I'm already bummed. I'm already bummed. That is the last one.

I don't even want to see it now because that's going to be the last one. I want to wait, but I have to see it. And then I see where AMC is crying that they're not making any money. You know what, AMC, call me. Maybe we can figure something out. Because I see, they operate, what, more than 900 theaters?

And they say that profits aren't coming easily as they booked a $23 million operating loss for the first six months of this year. I thought it really was great. We had Tom Cruise movies. We had all kinds of movies. And you're still losing money. so they spend

okay this is what they make I was looking at their timeline of what they make $817 million on food and beverage sales yeah that's a lot of popcorn my friends you aren't lying and you can't go into the AMC theaters

without spending $100 on food okay 50 then they they save let's see they admissions they make over a billion 27 million on

other theaters but what they spend is where their problem is right always the problem not what you make that's what you spend am I talking to my wife right now

no okay that's not what we make that's what we spend but food and beverage costs 153 million they make 817 million from 157 153 million

That's pretty good. That's a pretty good business to be in. Film exhibition costs $629 million. I feel like that is not right, but I'm good. Operating expenses, $795 million. Okay. Rent, $427 million. Are you kidding me?

They don't own those buildings. What are they paying rent on? Okay. Other costs, $131 million. Other costs. You know, somebody sweep the parking lot, that kind of thing. And $190 million on depreciation. Okay. All right. So they're still crying poor. I'll work it out for you between the studios and the streamers and the movie theaters. I'm here for you.

So I mentioned college football is starting up. The NFL is in a little window of sleep as they make their cuts for the 53-man roster. A bunch of people got cut the last few days saying, yeah, you're 54. Sorry, you're just not good enough. We love you, but, you know, sorry. We'll put you on the practice squad if you'd like. Or you can, you know, try to be a free agent and go out and take a look and what's needed, but you're not making this team.

sorry it's over. It's a suck day for a lot of guys because that's a big deal. It's a big deal. And so we have that going on. And then I see where our very own Jason Whitlock is going to have Warren Sapp and Brett Farv

join him during the NFL year once a week to talk NFL. Boy, you know, we should have Pat and Stu and myself have talked about doing a football show separate. And, you know, we've got to do that. We've got to do that. And my voice is, like, dying.

So I'm going to try to wrap this thing up because I can't talk anymore. I need to get an AI voice reader in here for me so that I can still bring you, you know, entertaining stories, but have AI take care of it. Because, I mean, we're talking about football. And I see where, oh, my gosh. Megan Rapino will not go away.

You knew this was going to happen, right? She's no one go away. So the big story that I've had on the fat pile for a while is where she still claims that women are victims of huge backlash. Uh-huh. Okay. But she is, I thought she was over, right? She's retiring. It's done.

Holy cow. Now, apparently, her final appearance with the U.S. women's national team, is set for September 24th against South Africa. It's going to be at Soldier Field in Chicago, here in America, and she's going to be playing her final game. Good. Leave. We're done with you. Goodbye.

Oh, agonizing. You know, another athlete, Simone Biles. Okay, so she captured her eighth. national title at the U.S. Gymnaxie championships. Congratulations. I mean, she's awesome. No question about it. But when she walked away from the Olympics,

and I know, I know it was some kind of equilibrium thing where things were getting blurry and she couldn't see or couldn't stand or whatever, but I still, I haven't forgiven her for that. Congratulations, Simone. for winning your eighth national title at the U.S. Gymnastics Championship. And you've been great.

Been awesome. No question. I mean, you took, I don't know, more than a year off from the Rio Olympics because, you know, you were, I don't know, the case of the twisties.

The little anxiety manifested itself in the case of the twisties. I still, I haven't forgiven you for that. Okay. I know. I know. Don't shoot the messenger.

Well, that's why you send messengers, actually. The king sends messengers because if you shoot the messenger, oh, well, that's the way it goes. So, still, though, don't shoot the messenger. I'm just saying. Congratulations. But I haven't forgiven you for the Olympics. Boating for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. What?

Okay, I need, I'm going to log on to AI. chat GPD I think I'm going to log on to jeffey.ai and I needed a voice from jeffey.a.i. to

do some stories because my voice is about to be completely gone for the day. So I'm going to do this story about a woman who extracted from her brain a parasite.

So they operate on this woman and the doctors are like, hey, what is that? Oh my gosh, it's a parasite. So I'm going to have jeffey.ai tell you the story. Greetings, Jeffey. I am jeffey. The Center for Disease Control would like to remind you that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. If you have not considered getting your booster shot.

I've got to update jeffy.ai. Now may be the time to reconsider. Very funny. Hey, hello, jeffy. I, thank you. So you have a story for us, jeffy. Dot AI. Yes, Jeffie.

A live parasitic worm was extracted from a 64-year-old woman's brain. while scientists are familiar with parasites in humans, a worm so large had never before been seen in a human. See? I told you, I've got to update a little bit. Is there any way to adjust the reading of geoffey.a.I. or is this just the way it is? Continue, jeffey.a.i. An Australian scientist detailed on Tuesday a world first discovery.

I'll see it's a little better. After an 8-centimeter 3-inch long parasitic worm was found in the brain of a woman in Canberra, spotlighting the risks of infectious organisms jumping between species. Yeah, you don't want that. Identified by scientists as a round worm most commonly seen in carpet python. Just saw, excuse me, pause jeffey.ai. We just saw that carpet python in Australia, that 16 footer. I played that earlier this morning.

I don't know. We talked about it here on this show, but this family is out having their launch out back. And this giant 16 foot python is crawling from their roof into their trees. And it's like, okay. And it's a carpet python. So now we find out that they're passing brain parents. parasites to humans. I have to end that, man.

We have to put an end to carpet pythons. And the cute thing about that video is the little kid in the video says, Dad could catch that. And you hear Mom in the back goes, no. No. Can he? Your dad, yeah, Mom's like, no, your dad's not getting that.

Dad could get that. Instead of being a wuss like you, Mom. Okay, jeffey. Jephy. Sorry, go ahead. It was discovered last year in a 64-year-old... We already... It's...

Jeffey.com. Never mind. Just continue. Go ahead. Undergoing surgery in the Australian capital, following complaints of abdominal pain, forgetfulness, and depression. Yeah, you don't want that. A study of the case published on Monday

in the journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases. Who doesn't pause? jeffey. A.I. Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal is one of my favorite readings. I mean, that is, that's some good stuff there. Okay, go ahead. Suggested she may have been exposed through foraging for wild grasses that could have been contaminated

with python feces. Okay, pause for a second. So she's out in the woods and they're saying she's playing with python poop? There was due to feces thrown all over the walls. the floor, the ceiling in a stunk. So bad. You don't want none of that. You don't want to know that.

And they cover that in the Journal of Emergent Infectious Diseases. But holy cow. All right. All right. I'm sorry, jeffy.com. Quote, when you operate on someone's brain and you take a biopsy of something, you never expect to encounter something living. Dr. Sanjaya Senayake, one of the studies authors, told Reuters.

Let me ask you, stop for pause. Just a second, jeffey.com. Could you have a conversation or can I just pause and stop you and that's it? Because I feel like there's some things in the story you can leave out. But no, go ahead. Never mind. Go ahead, jeffey. While scientists are familiar with parasites and humans,

a worm so large had never before been seen in a human, he added. It was certainly something we'll never forget. Yeah, no doubt. The woman, whom sending. Ayake praised as being very courageous. All right, stop it. Pause for just a second. She's courageous because she got a parasite from carpet, python, poop.

Okay. All right, calm down. I'm sorry, go ahead, Jeffrey. The woman was praised as being very courageous. You already said that. Stop it. It's going to make me mad again. Go ahead.

Return to normal life after her discharge from hospital, but is still being monoccurious. monitored by doctors. Why? Because this was an unusual case at so many levels, we're keeping a close eye on her and keeping in touch, Seneiake said. The parasite species is known to scientists as

Ophidi Scaritz's Robert Cite, the journal article said. Wow, so that was great, jeffey. I really appreciate you helping the show come along today. It means a lot. Thank you. Thank you, Jeffie.

I'm actually going to try to make this actually work. I kind of like it. So maybe we just see if it works out. jeffey.a.ai, did you see the super moon in the sky? The last few nights, beautiful, huh? Yes, it was beautiful. Did you know most research shows that over-the-counterfish oil supplements don't offer cardiovascular benefits but that hasn't stopped marketers from

touting them for heart health according to a new study okay stop jeffey dot a i apparently is that i guess we just go right into reading health stories uh we started with parasites and now we're going into fish oil so i'm sorry jeffy go ahead the sale of fish oil supplements is a multi-billion dollar industry Yes, I'm aware. And many people take fish oil capsules daily, believing the omega-3 fatty acids they contain are good for their overall health, particularly for their heart. While it's true, people who eat seafood regularly are less likely to die of heart disease. Studies have not shown that taking fish oil as a supplement offers the same benefit.

Pause, jeffey.ai. Holy cow. So it's all BS. that is unbelievable of course of course of course

I mean they have hammered us so long that fish oil fish oil we gotta get fish oil you've got to get fish oil you've got to eat fish oil it's good for you

it's good for you it's good for you uh yeah except there's no real benefit coming from it oh I'm sorry Jeffie Chat jeffey.ai, whatever the hell we call you. Go ahead.

Well, if you don't know my name, maybe I should not continue. No, no, no, no, no, Jeffrey.com, go ahead. I apologize. Holy crap, I'm apologizing to a computer already. Even so, fish oil marketers continue to make health claims that imply a wide range of benefits, according to a study published Wednesday in J-A-Cardiology. Stop for just a second, jeffey.ai. It's JAMA cardiology, but go ahead. The researchers analyzed labels from more than 2,000 fish oil supplements that made health claims. They found more than 80% used what is known as a structure and function claim.

Hello. Which is a general description that describes the role of omega-3 fatty acids in the body, such as promotes heart health or supports heart, mind, and mood. cardiovascular health claims, which accounted for 62% were most common. Huh. You can pause for just a second. Jeffrey. I don't know that we need any more from the story.

Just know that it's all BS. Now look, a year from now, maybe JAMA cardiology will come out and say, oh, you know what? We found that fish oil actually is good for you now. Now they still say, yeah, fish is good for you. but the actual fish oil, and not so much. Wow. We've been sold a bill of goods for years.

And, well, we were sold that bill of goods. So thank you, jeffey.com. And thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat. And I'm going to go and drown my throat in something. I don't know what, though, but something. Thank you, Jeffie. Dr. David Cox, director of MIT IBM Watson AI Lab, says Jeffey.ai represents a significant step forward

in the development of AI language models. Yeah, yeah. How about that? Take that to the bank, all right, chewing the fat, and jeffey.com cutting edge. Yeah. A little nervous about it, though. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
