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 when you think of spies, what do you think of? Yeah, maybe, you know, the glasses, like no.

You know, the heavy eyebrows, the trench codes. Yeah, no, that's not today's spies. Apparently, fake job seekers, many of whom are agents of foreign governments looking to steal customer data and trade secrets, are exploiting generative AI and deep fake software to appear as the perfect candidates for remote jobs. So according to this, By 2028, next three years, one in four job candidates will be fake. This is according to the research firm Gartner and man, do I love them.

Companies are learning how to fight the scourge of AI enhanced impostors, but some still slip through the cracks. Per the Department of Justice, more than 300 companies have accidentally hired fake applicants with ties to North Korea. every time we list a job posting, we get 100 North Korean spies applying for it. This from the founder of a Florida-based cybersecurity startup was being interviewed by CNBC.

Every time they list a job, they get 100 North Korean spies applying for it. Okay. All right. That sounds good. So just remember that when you lose that job to the perfect candidate, probably isn't the perfect candidate.

Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So I open my computer today and I get a screen from Microsoft that says, celebrate 50 years of Microsoft. Yay, well, congratulations to Microsoft. Actually, they are now

the world's most valuable public company. They went back to the top. They knocked off Apple. Apple, apparently 23% plunge over the past four trading sessions has turned Microsoft into the world's most valuable public company. So at the close of business yesterday, Microsoft was worth $2.64 trillion, while Apple was worth $2.59 trillion. What a bunch of losers.

Oh, man. I thought, I thought NVIDIA was up there, too. They were all three trillion companies, to $3 trillion companies. So I guess the video was hit as well. So congratulations to Microsoft. I saw where people are all wound up about the tariffs. So according to Apple,

and I don't know that I believe everything that I'm hearing, but according to them, customers are scrambling to buy new iPhones out of the fear that the company could raise prices to offset President Trump's tariffs. Well, yeah, that's what's going to happen because they get all their merchandise from China. But they actually don't get it all from China. According to this, they said that they are going to temporarily source more iPhones from India,

which faces a tariff of about a quarter of the size of China's. And they said they will not likely completely retool its supply chains, but it spent the last few years manufacturing some products in Vietnam, in Ireland, Thailand, and Malaysia to reduce that independence on China. Okay. So does that, when we hear that, that means that we have breaking news. Stop it. Hey, that's enough.

That's enough. Hold up. That's enough. Chris Cruz, our man on the street reporter for chewing the fat, breaking news. What do you have for us? Chris, where you at? Fisher. Fisher, breaking news. I'm here because you sent me to London because Harry is in trial right now.

I know. Yeah. He just got taken out by an untrash of bodyguard after a woman that I saw just scream in support of the royal. We don't know what Prince Harry is. He was taken out dramatically out of the courtroom because a protest broke. Hey, that's enough of yelling over there. So they were yelling. The courtroom. I mean, he's back in the UK, and I don't think Meg is with him.

But he's back there for this trial because this is about the security he gets in the UK. Yes. So he's, because when he left and went to Canada and then the U.S., the parliament, I believe, I think that's right, the parliament or the king and the Windsor Castle, all those people got together and said, Yeah, he's not a royal anymore, so he loses all his security. Oh, okay, and he's pissed about that. So when he comes back to the UK, he wants full access to all the security he can get. I don't necessarily disagree with that, but they do.

The information that I know is the woman still remains unnamed. She's about a 50-year-old woman. She supports the royal, and she arrived a little bit late. So she was hollering at the court? Yes. Wow. She arrived a little bit late, but then she repeatedly started to, you know, cause scenes inside her around. Right.

She had two cell phones. She kept going through her notebook. And I was able to talk to the longtime security honcho, David, for Harry, 57. And he spotted the lady. He kept an eye on her until she just escalated and started shouting. I support you, Harry! I support you! So why was...

She just was upsetting the court. She wasn't against Harry. She also said, if you're members of the press, you're the reason he's not in England, you know. So did Megan pay for this person to show up? Did Harry pay for this person to show up?

I try to reach out to the Harris representative for comment, but they have not gotten back to me. Weird. The whole thing is weird. Because I would think that if you were Harry, let's say if I was Harry, I would hire someone to, you know, create a demonstration against me and start hollering and screaming and try to attack me to prove that I need security while I'm in the UK. Oh, hold up. Oh, Harry's back in the room. Okay, so I got to get back. Harry's back in the room.

The court procedures are going to resume. Okay, good. If anything happens again from that 50-year-old yelling, basically, I love you, Harry, in court. I'll let you know. Thank you. Chris Cruz, our man on the street, breaking news here on chewing the fat. I appreciate Chris being our man on the street.

Now back to the story that I was talking to you about Apple. Do you know that they're, with all the increases in the tariffs, you'd think, well, hey, why doesn't Apple just, you know, start using U.S. manufacturing? They said they're not going to be moving iPhone production to the U.S. That's logistically impossible. We can't do that. Sure, we could move some to Vietnam and Ireland and Thailand and Malaysia and still use a little bit of China.

But we can't. We can't. We can't create those iPhones here in the U.S. And plus, if we did, your smartphone is going to cost $3,500. Wait, they don't cost that much now? Okay, sure, whatever you say. I mean, I guess they only cost $1,000. Oh, I'm sorry, $999.

I guess that's been a pretty, I do not have an Apple. I have an Android, so I mean, I'm not aware of the Apple prices, but apparently they're, you know, the main one is the $999. And I don't know that they, I don't see Apple giving deals out when you bring in your iPhone. something's wrong with it. Oh, what a shame. Here's a new one.

You've got to upgrade. That's the way it goes. And they're all expensive. I mean, even the androids are through the roof and will become more through the roof. Oh, and you needed a charger for that, right? Because the new phones have to have a new charger, not the old one.

We don't make universal. That would just be crazy. And if you need, I mean, all you get is this two feet. That is not even two feet. It's like maybe six inch long, charger cord that you have to use to plug in. Oh, you need an extension? Yeah, we can hook you up for that, but that's, of course, more money.

And now with the tariffs, that'll be a lot more money. According to this, the iPhone accounts for 50% of its total revenue. So, I mean, they'll be doing something to make up for the cost. But hey, according to Apple, and, you know, you have to believe what they're saying. shoppers are thinking it's time to get that new iPhone right now. And sure it won't be the upgraded one, but we have to get it now so that we have it at the original price instead of the after tariff price,

because after new tariff prices. Because I believe President Trump just upped, they've upped theirs. So now up yours, he's just upped his tariff. coming from the United States at 104% of four products. So somebody's got to give. Somebody's got to give pretty soon. And it will be interesting to see who gives.

And as we talked about a little bit on Pat Graham Lease this morning, I've been doing his show every day this week. It's a dangerous game of chicken to play with Donald Trump. Because, poof, I don't think Trump is going to blink, but you never know. Good luck. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts, so you don't have to.

That's the game show we play every Friday. You can send me the joke of the day,

which, you know, you can make your submissions. Some make it, some don't. But, you know, I do see your emails. I do, you know, I just saw a story today talking about how many emails people have unread in their email. Like unread notifications and messages as well as unused apps, files, old media, such as photos and videos, can take up space on devices like your smartphones and computers, and they impact the device performance.

And making it harder to find items that users actually need. Huh. Okay. So according to this, this was a survey? right a survey from the average person has over a thousand unread emails maybe in one email address I mean you start adding up multiple email addresses it's a lot more than a thousand the 77% of the people feel digital clutter negatively impacts their life maybe

Maybe at some point when you're like, oh, I got to go through these and delete a bunch. Ah, nah, tomorrow. 50% of the people say that they get frustrated because digital clutter makes it difficult to find apps and files they need. Well, then now, no, that's causing a problem. Now you've gotten a little out of hand, if that's the case. Get help. Get help. Just get the delete help.

In fact, I'm here for you. You can email me. Chewethamethamad of Theblaze.com and I'll show you how to take steps to declutter. Nearly one-third of the people, 31% have paid to upgrade a device to one with more storage because of digital clutter. Well, yeah, that's what hard drives are for. You want to move it to the hard drive. That's just, it's not that, again, you're welcome, okay? I'm giving you free advice here, but you just get a hard drive and then you move all your extra stuff to that hard drive.

said you know what's on the hard drive. Ain't nobody got time for that? I know, I know. It's a difficult task. I know. And maybe you keep your Bitcoin with your hard drives in the safe. So you know where everything is at.

But that's just, again, that's just me trying to help. So this according, this digital harmful, this doesn't say who did it. Okay, here we go. All about cookies. That's who did it. I love them.

I am all about cookies. There's just not the cookies they're talking about. Survelled 1,000 U.S. adults to find out how much digital clutter they have in their lives and how they are impacted by it. Okay, thank you. Now, I feel better because I know where it came from. All about cookies. And so anyway, if you're part of the average person,

you have over 1,000 on read emails. And that's what got me to. talking about this stupid story because I was thinking about chewing the fat at the blaze.com I don't have any unread emails chewing the fat the blaze.com.

I see them all. I read them all. I may not comment on them all, but I do see them and I do read them. There's several other email addresses that do have at least a thousand unread messages. No problem.

You can also order a cameo from me at Jeffrey JFR on the cameo app. That, of course, is not free. My free advice to help declutter, you know, you're welcome. But if you want to get declutter, advice brought me on a personal video. That's, you got to do that through Cameo.

And that's at Jeffey JFR on the Cameo app. And, you know, it's worth every darn penny. I'll tell you that. And this is interesting. The Department of Justice has scrapped its crypto investigations unit. I'm not sure. The national cyber, I'm sorry, the national cryptocurrency enforcement team.

Love them. The primary federal government unit, investigating crypto-related crimes no longer exists. So Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche wrote in a memo Monday night, said instead the Justice Department is outsourcing crypto prosecution to U.S. Attorney's offices, because they don't have enough to do, refocusing on crimes involving terrorism and human trafficking.

The move is the latest in a series of crypto-friendly policies enacted by the Trump administration. So that's crypto-friendly by turning it over to the U.S. Attorney's Office instead of taking care of it at the Department of Justice. Okay. You know what, if you say so, just now I think I feel sad for the national cryptocurrency enforcement team for no longer existing. What does that mean? Do they have to go get rehired at the U.S. attorney's offices? Are they just done?

Now they can go out and steal everybody's Bitcoin. I mean, invest, invest in their own in their own cryptocurrencies and not have to worry about being part of the enforcement team. But just no, you know, just another government agency bites the dust. And I should have put it in who died today. because the national cryptocurrency enforcement team dead. All right, let's go to the break room.

I need something cold to drink desperately. Okay, so we have some Elton John news for you, and I've just been singing stupid Elton John songs in my head all day. And for some reason, we talked about it on Pat's show this morning, and don't go break it, my heart was brought up, and so now I have that stupid song in my head. Do not play it. All right, do not play it.

But I'm just saying that apparently the big riff between Madonna and Elton John is now over. She has, she said, right? She got all butt hurt. And so now it's over. So she said that she watched Sir Elton and Brandy Carlyle on Saturday night live. oh she's the one that watches Saturday Night Live. And so she was watching that and she said that she wanted to, she wanted to, you know, maybe we can collaborate with them

because she liked what she saw with Brandy Carlyle. Now we played, so they did Saturday Night Live. Remember we talked last week about the Elton John Brandy Carlyle show on Sunday night that aired. Yeah, I didn't catch it. Sorry. And I honestly, I did. want to record it and I didn't.

So, I mean, I'm sure it's up there. I'm sure I could find it and it's available. But we'll see. Because we played some music from that and it was not good. Ain't nobody got time for that? Yeah, it was not good. I mean, I love Elton John. So, I mean, he's going to hold, look, Elton John shows up on stage.

You're going to watch. It's Elton John. Hello. He's the king. I mean, he really is. He's not Elvis, the king. Don't let's not get carried away. But he's Elton John.

and you can quote me on that he's Elton John and so I mean he's going to draw a crowd but apparently this was back in 2002 so that's a long time ago and I was trying to remember when this

actually happened and I don't remember it but it's so hilarious to me now so he was quoted by a CBS news person as describing Madonna's theme to die another day from the James Bond movie as the worst bond theme ever. And he went on to say, Madonna, best live act, fuck off.

He was on stage at some award show, this award show in 2002. Madonna, best live act, fuck off. that is awesome that is awesome we have to see if we can find that online I would love to see that online anyway so after this recent appearance

she said that I always you know I was loved Elton John I felt like an outsider growing up and watching him on stage helped me understand that it was okay to be different okay thanks Madonna calm down and so now she wants to bury the hatchet with Elton

and you know they want to perform so Madonna desperately clinging for relevance. And I love Madonna. I'm a fan of Madonna, but she's desperately clinging for relevance and sees, oh, look at Elton John is bringing back Brandy. I should be the one he's bringing back.

And so good luck. We'll see if Elton takes your call because he may say, Madonna, best live act. Fuck off. Okay, so we found the clip of Elton at this Q Award show talking about

Madonna, it makes me love of me even more. Just awesome. Go ahead. Madonna, best fucking live act. Fuck off. Since when has lip syncing been live? Oh. Sorry about that,

but I think everyone who lip syncs in public on stage when you pay like 75 quid to see them should be shot. Boom. Thank you very much. I'm done. I'm out of here. Awesome.

I will have you know that that is Sir Elton John to you. Okay? That is awesome. So I did see some of Handmaid's Tale that dropped yesterday. I didn't see. I caught maybe half an episode, something like that. Of course, my wife had it on. I knew I told you she would.

And, you know, I was watching it. And there was a couple of long, huge scenes with music and no dialogue. and it's just she found her mom and they reunited with mom and I just I was okay and I had to I had to had my memory fresh on what's happening with Handmaid's Tale so I'll let you know I mean Elizabeth Moss I can I can take her leave but she's fine and this is her gig I got it Handmaid's tail is Elizabeth Moss I got it but we'll see how it works out and I hope when I when I left to go to bed last night and it was she was busy watching it And I was like,

uh, I just let me know if I'm right. Because the first three episodes dropped. She reunited with mom. I feel like mom is, uh, something's wrong there. Something,

something evil is at hand with mom. Because she was asking mom, how did you, you know, how did you survive? How did you get through? And, uh,

I just feel like, I feel like mom is, uh, part of the evil. And we'll find out. You might need to happen. Uh, that may need to happen.

So we'll see. And then I see where Dying for Sex is a new series on FX. Well, we talked to the writer or the writer and the creator of Niki Boy of Dying for Sex, which was the podcast on Wondry talking about her friend, Molly, who was dying. And then decided to want to live her best life and have sex and realize what was happening while she was dying. and we talked to Nikki here on chewing the fat that seems like forever ago and just it's because it was Jeff

oh okay but I remember I remember listening to the podcast it was really good I hope I hope that the series can be what the podcast was and what the stories were because Nikki was doing it with Molly

and then I think Molly died at the end it was sad but then it wasn't sad because you were happy because she's been so sick and she was struggling. It's just, I'm trying to remember the whole dying for sex podcast now. But, I mean, the podcast was, you know, unfiltered. 100% was great. And so we'll see if FX is going to be able to, you know, pull that up.

Maybe they can. I'm sure that, you know what, I'm sure that they can. I don't know that they will, but I'm sure that they can. I know that they've been promoting it and people were pissed about it being promoted. I know I saw where one person was complaining that I think it was, who did I see? It was under limbs of TikTok, their X account.

Received from multiple sources, Disney is reportedly advertising a series called Dying for Sex on the front page of their streaming service. One source says their six-year-old saw it and started asking questions about it. The horror! Your child was asking you questions and you had to answer them? No.

No. I won't hear about it. I thought this application was supposed to be family-friendly. What's going on, Disney Plus? I know. I thought this was supposed to be family-friendly, so I don't have to talk to my children. I can just turn it on,

and I don't have to worry about them. But now they're asking me questions. I hate that. Come on. It's just a promo for a show? Talk to your children. Stop being... We have created a world of...

You know what kind of world we've created. Yeah, you know. Don't look at me like that. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here. Introducing the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus, powered by Peloton IQ. Built for breakthroughs,

at the age of 74. Now they made a big deal out of that's the home of the 1958 sci-fi classic The Blob. I love that stupid movie, The Blob, featuring Steve McQueen, but I mean, she wasn't in it. She was the CEO of the company that owned the film. Anyway, she's dead at the age of 74. She had a long battle with multiple sclerosis. Oh, that's not good.

I do not wish that on anyone. So then it goes on to talk about the blob. So that's their claim to fame. So Judith Parker Harris, dead as CEO of Worldwide Entertainment Corporation. Even if she's not the CEO, that's still the home of the blob. Rest in peace, Judith at the age of 74. Then we have Michael Haley, Michael Haley, dead at the age of 6. 67.

He is the star of MTV superhero show, The Max. Dead at the age of 67. I know he voiced the superhero or the gritty MTV animated series, The Max. Apparently, he died after a, this is the story, a very abrupt battle with cancer. Huh. Huh. when someone says to you

that they've had a very abrupt battle with cancer what you think would cause something like that to happen would it be that now no they would have said something rest in peace to Michael Hurley

dead at the age of 67 after a very abrupt battle with cancer huh and then we have we need to say rest in peace to about 50 hippos and the DRC,

that's the Democratic Republic of Congo, for those of you not in the know. They are dead because of anthrax poisoning. They killed about 50 hippos in Varunga, Africa's oldest national park. That's in the DRC. And the head of the park told the news, yeah, the toxin is caused by a spore-forming bacteria.

We know. and that survives for decades in soil where animals that died of anthrax or were carriers were buried and it's transmissible to humans and potentially fatal if it's inhaled. Okay, so the hippopotamosponans were found floating in a river south of Lake Edward.

I mean, Lake Edward is beautiful this time of year. I mean, that separates the DRC from Uganda. Duh. And the local office of the Congolese Institute of Nature Conservation. Love them. In the North Kivu province,

where the dead hippos were found recommended precautionary measures, including avoiding eating bushmeat. Yeah, we got some, we got 50 hippos, 50 hippos. Right? 50 hippos floating around the river. Yeah, it probably should avoid bushmeat.

Yeah, you think. But you're in the DRC, and, you know, you're right there. You're right there on the border of Uganda and DRC. What are you going to do? You're going to eat. You need food, and there's a war going on. It's a troubled area. And there's a hippo floating right there that's not rotten.

And we tried to get hippos here in the U.S. before we would turn to cattle. I've done a whole show on that before, too. episode 301 is my interview with Nikki Boyer from a dying of sex 331 331 I'm sorry You can listen to 301 too if you want I don't care But 331 is the one with Nikki Boyer

Dying for Sex and I don't know But the hippo story that I did a while ago Talking about how we tried to get hippos here in the U.S. That's available too I believe that's probably an episode way before 331 In fact, let's find out what that number is. I told you it was before 331. Episode 7 is my story on hippos,

if you want to go back and listen. Episode 7. Ah, I was just a young whippersnapper back then. You know, and since we're in Who Died Today, I know that when this particular rat died, we had to have a service for him. The Magawa, the bomb sniffing rat. who died back in 2022.

And he was awarded a gold medal for heroism for cleaning mines from about 225,000 square miles of land. I'm sorry, square meters. Okay, Cambodia, calm down. 225,000 meters, square meters of land, which is the equivalent of 42 football pitches. Okay, calm down, Cambodia. Okay.

If you want the story to go viral, speak American. Anyway, Magawa. had passed away in 2020. I know, I know we talked about Magawa because I remember the bomb sniffing rat. But I just want to say that I want to congratulate the protege of Magawa, Ronan, who is now a Guinness World Record Holder.

He's the new world record holder by sniffing out more than 100 mines and the pieces of unexploded ordinance. Magawa got nothing on Ronan. Okay, Ronan was like, Yeah, I got you, dog. I mean a rat, and off he went. And so congratulations to him.

He is part of Apopo, and I love Apopo. They are the anti-personal landmines detection product development charity out of Belgium, a non-governmental organization, and a U.S. nonprofit. Interesting. They're out of Belgium and they're part of the U.S. as well. They trained southern giant pouched rats and technical survey dogs to detect landmines and tuberculosis. And they call their trained animals hero rats and hero dogs.

So five-year-old Ronan has been named the most successful mind detection rat in organization's history. So congratulations to Ronan, who has earned the name. the Guinness World Record title for the most landmines detected by a rat. Pretty specific world record. But Guinness gave it to him. I don't know if he gave him a little rat stamp ink hand signature on the record or not.

But he's it, baby. He's it. And he's got a couple more years left before they run him off to retirement or he dies. But he's not what, you know, he's no. When Magawa died, we thought, nobody can replace Magua. And Ronan was like, yeah. I got it, okay?

Here you go. Hold my rat bait or landmine or, you know, whatever I'm sniffing. Boating for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. What? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo. Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games

All right. So this story kind of ticks me off, but I understand it. It's really frustrating. So this man has nearly $60,000 in chips from a now defunct casino that he bought at an online. auction because they were pilfered by an employee of the company who was supposed to destroy them. So he bought them online for, you know, obviously less than 60,000. Don't know that it ever says exactly what he paid for them. It just talked about him paying for them and not knowing that they were pilfered from the company that was supposed to destroy them.

So then he tried to cash in the 389 chips. 2003 and the state treasury department in New Jersey at their unclaimed property administration said we know we're responsible for covering the redemption value of outstanding chips the Playboy Hotel and Casino had issued to patrons while in operation. As part of its closing, the casino had transferred funds to the UPA to cover such redemptions. But the UPA, he told the UPA that he had bought the chips, which were worth $59,500 at an online auction did not know their source. The New Jersey State Police eventually determined that the casino had hired a company

that was supposed to destroy the chips after it closed. A former employee of that company had pilfered the several boxes of unused clips and put them in a bank deposit box. Then he forgot about him after he filed for bankruptcy, and the bank, where the chips were stored, opened the box, and confiscated the chips, and then set them to an auction house from which this guy bought him. Okay.

So then he went to turn them in, and they are saying, hey, the court is like, no, you're not entitled to the funds because you did not present the chips that had been issued by the casino. Well, okay, they

weren't issued directly to him, but they were issued from the casino but you know I got it the guy they're originally from the guy who was supposed to destroy him he kept them and then forgot forgot about him and then we bought them online so now there's just a collector's edition from the playboy casino I mean you could probably sell them online for I mean you could probably get more than than they're worth uh I would think online a playboy casino chip um I think you get a lot more than that more than uh more than uh

60,000 for how many was it? How many was there? 389. So, I mean, you could at least make $389. You can sell them for a buck. You know, people will pay more than, more than a buck for a Playboy chip casino tip. I would, I would like one. Okay, so there's some out there that are selling for like 200 bucks. The chips that are worth like 500 bucks.

And so for, and there's 389. chips that he has he'll make his money back he was he was just trying to game the system and the game the system is always against the man this is another way of keeping the man down bastards so then now the reason that's in the story now because this all happened a couple of years ago the man appealed the decision he still trying to get his money he appealed the decision claiming in part that the The UPA had relied on insufficient evidence and acted arbitrarily and capriciously. But the issue, the ruling on April 1st from the appellate court said, look, dude, I believe the judges actually said that. Look, dude, you're not entitled to the funds, okay?

You did not present the chips that had been issued by the casino. Got it? Get out of my courtroom. And then the ga, and then the gavel fell. All right. Let's do the joke of the day and get the heck out of here. Speaking of gavel hauling.
