Starting point is 00:01:07 platters of fried catfish or white fish, grilled salmon, blackened tilapia, or fried shrimp served along with southern-style sides like okra and corn, or try a fried fish sandwich with classic French fries. Over 500 locations. Okay, I have not eaten at Captain Dees. I'm going to have to try that out. That's number six.

Number three, the chain that has taken the top spot in this poll for the last nine straight years drops to number three, Chick-fil-A. Wow. Number two. that's amazing.

And number one, the number one fast food restaurant, according to the USA Today's Readers, Choice Award for the best fast food restaurant in the United States, number one, with 600 locations plus around the country, Del Taco. Del Taco, congratulations to all the top 10 restaurants,
Starting point is 00:02:47 but a shake-up at the top this year for sure. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Oh, no, we have another recall rice. There's a rice recall. Stores that the rice sells in were in Arizona, California, Florida, Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Wisconsin. It is, the recall was due to the possibility of contamination by a foreign object that appears to be of rodent origin. So we'll get back to that in a moment. 4,600 cases of the 16-ounce polybags of Lundberg family farms, Sustainable Wild Blend Gourmet Rice. Man, do I love the 16-ounce polybags of Lundberg Family Farm,
Starting point is 00:03:47 sustainable wild blend gourmet rice? They are the ones that are impacted by this recall announcement, according to the Food and Drug Administration. They are six bags per case, meaning there are more than 27,000 bags under this recall. The product is a mixture of black, brown, red, and wild rice. That's according to the Lundberg Family Farms website. Now, they first brought up this recall in May of this year. But then that was classified as a class two.
Starting point is 00:04:21 But then... The recall was first and out of May 10th. They classified it now as a class two. Okay. That means that the possibility of serious adverse health consequences is remote, but it sure could happen. Now, let's go back for a moment and talk about, well, Lundberg Family Farms, of course,
Starting point is 00:04:48 wants you to know that they're taking care of this out of an abundance of caution. Everybody now, abundance of caution. Yeah, okay. We got it. I want to get back to the foreign object that appears to be of a rodent origin. Now is that just rat poop? Or did a rat get caught up in the rice grinding machine? And so now some of those bags have, you know, a rat foot, a rat ear, a rat.
Starting point is 00:05:23 You boil up a, man, you boil up one of them. of those 16 ounce poly bags of Lundberg family farm, sustainable wild blend gourmet rice and put a little butter on it and dig in and oh what is that? Is that a left leg from a rat?
Starting point is 00:05:40 Yum! Yum! Okay, so it came to my attention on one of my social media accounts, Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. There was a post from a time traveler this weekend.
Starting point is 00:05:53 And I thought, well, it's from a time traveler. I must watch it. And the post started with, I am a real-time traveler. Remember these five dates of major events in 2024. Now, I will say that I read this on Saturday, the 20th of July, 2024. Today, if you're listening live,
Starting point is 00:06:23 it is Monday the 22nd of July. 2024. So on Saturday, I get the post from the time traveler. And remember, these are five dates we're supposed to remember in 2024. The first one mentions July 20th. The very day I'm reading this. A famous singer announces that they faked their death. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:06:49 And because of that, when the singer comes back, they will have the largest concert of all time. All right, so today is two days since that day. I don't recall a famous singer reaching out saying they fake their own death. If you know of what, let me know. But I missed it. I know it was a busy weekend. You know, we had the Trump rally. We had, you know, Joe Biden saying or posting a letter that we believe is from him
Starting point is 00:07:21 saying that he was going to step down his campaign for presidents. he was still remaining president, of course. But I don't recall any famous singer coming back from life, or coming back from the dead, saying that they fake their own death. So I might have missed it.
Starting point is 00:07:40 We'll see. Then August 9th is mentioned. On August 9th, according to this Time Traveler Post, two twin hurricanes hit South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. I
Starting point is 00:07:55 will say, does not sound good. In fact, that's probably suboptimal. Both of these hurricanes are category five. It would most definitely be suboptimal. And they are given the name, The Big Ones.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Yeah. That's not good. That's not good at all. On August 20th, the largest solar flare in history hits Earth and brings high radiation.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Okay, I guess I mean, I could see that happening. I'm glad we're getting this from the time traveler. The high radiation levels cause certain people's DNA to change, giving them superpowers. Nice. I mean, I think nice. Might be bad. September 12th, scientists discover human bones on Mars and find out that humans used to live there. Wow. I don't forget.
Starting point is 00:08:58 This is from a time traveler, so this time traveler has already seen this. On October 26th, divers explore a part of the Bermuda Triangle that has never been visited before. Wow. I mean, okay. And they find ancient creatures still alive, such as megalodons and crackens. So that's from a time traveler, and he wanted to let us know that I keep saying he. The time traveler wanted to let us know, probably it could be a she as well, to remember for those five dates, major events in 2024. But again, I saw this on the 20th of July, and what the time traveler told us was going to happen on the 20th of July,
Starting point is 00:09:55 didn't happen. So does that mean I have to disregard all the other things that the time traveler said was going to happen? Yeah, it kind of does. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Handpicked the finest sweaters from the rest.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup palettes from the brands you love. Rushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals. We get the deals.
Starting point is 00:10:51 You gift the good stuff. Once you're done listening to Chewing the Fat today, you can go over to Netflix and watch Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. That's supposed to begin streaming on Netflix today. Now, just here in the United States is where the availability is right now. Netflix said they're expected to roll out in additional countries and territories later in the year, but they did not give a timeline. So if you live inside the United States of America and have Netflix,
Starting point is 00:11:23 you can watch Ghostbusters Frozen Empire beginning today, which I'm actually looking forward to. I did not go to the theater to see it, and I'm looking forward to seeing it. I also, I've been so hooked on hell on wheels. I can't tell you. It's a fantastic show. I got lost in the shuffle while, you know, during the heyday of Walking Dead for me, 2011 through 2015 or 16, I think, is when Hell on Wheels was on.
Starting point is 00:11:53 We've got, I'll talk more about it because there's five seasons and I'm at four. I'm in the middle of four right now. I've been just binging hell on wheels. I began watching it on Paramount Plus, and then I realized, wait, this is an AMC show. AMC Plus should have it, and they do, and I can watch it without commercials, which I do. And it's so, it's very, very good. So it's all, I mean, I would say it's as good as Deadwood. If you enjoy Deadwood, you will enjoy Hell on Wheels.
Starting point is 00:12:28 And if you've already seen it, I mean, good for you. You're listening. I should have could have told you that. Ten years ago, idiot. I know. I know. I'm sorry. This is all on me.
Starting point is 00:12:37 But I'm catching up, okay? I'm catching up. I'm really, really having a good time watching it. At the theaters this weekend, number one movie Twisters, debuted with 80.5 million domestically and 123.2 million, gloobily, which exceeded what they wanted.
Starting point is 00:12:57 I loved the first twister. I've watched it many, many times. You know, we watch it when there's nothing else to watch. I love that stupid movie. I don't know that I'm ready for Twisters yet, but when it streams, I'll watch it, but I don't know that I'm ready to go to the theater for Twisters. Number two, Dispickle of Me Four,
Starting point is 00:13:21 banks another $23.8 million, which is $259.5 million total, 574.4 million globally. So that crosses, I mean, it's pretty good. It's the third, on his third weekend. Yeah. Inside Out 2, another 12.8 million domestically, pushing the domestic total of 596.4 million.
Starting point is 00:13:48 And the global QUM is now $1.443 billion. So it will be bypassing Incredibles, too. soon enough. Long legs, 11.7 million, 44-4 million, 7 million total. Now Neon's second highest grossing film.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Yeah, this is What's His Faces movie? Nicholas Cage. Remember he said he didn't want to play anymore? He doesn't like playing serial killers anymore. He doesn't like it. You know, I like the money. They pay me, but I don't like being serial killers.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Okay, all right. Number five. A Quiet Place, Day 1, 6.1 million domestic. So they've hit 127.6 million domestic. I'm sure they're happy about that. Fly me to the moon. 3.3 million, 16.4 million domestic total. Not that good.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Not that good. And that's the fake moon landing one, right? I'm looking forward to seeing that not at the theater. Bad Boys, ride or die, another 2.7 million domestic. 189 million. I'm sorry, $189.3 million of the domestic total. Maxine, M-A-X-X-X-X-Zine, 819,000 domestic, which is 13.9 million domestic, another slasher movie.
Starting point is 00:15:18 And the bike riders, which I'm looking forward to seeing once it hits streaming, a 700,000 domestic, that made $21.2 million dollars so far, domestic total. And coming in at number 10, my man, Kevin Costner, Horizon. Wow, I'm sorry, Horizon, an American saga, Chapter 1, $685,000 domestically. And that has reached 28.5 million domestic total. Wow. Okay, I mean, just every week, the last three weeks has been like, I thought Horizon would do better.
Starting point is 00:15:56 And so did Kevin. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

And they're also going to give an award to the four surviving members of the rock band that they call counterculture, Grateful Dead. Yay, guitarist Bob Weir, collaborated with the National Symphony Orchestra to bring the Dead's catalog to the Kennedy Senator in 2022, said in an interview with NPR, he was. speechless and profusely thank the devoted deadheads who've sustained the band for nearly six decades, as well as his late bandmates, Jerry Garcia, and Iran Pig Ben, Pigpen, Mick Heron. So, congratulations to all the new recipients of the 47th Kennedy Center Honors Award. I see where thousands of workers at Disney's theme parks and resorts in Southern California announced Friday,
Starting point is 00:19:57 night that they have authorized a strike, citing alleged unfair labor practices during recent contract negotiations for unions representing more than 14,000 workers at Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney, and Disney-owned hotels announced the walkout, saying its members overwhelmingly voted in favor of hundreds of alleged labor violations by Disney. interfered with the unions getting the fair contract cast members deserved. They said the members who participated in the vote, 99% voted in favor of authorizing the strike. However, the exact number was not released on how many people voted.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Now, the contract doesn't expire until September 30th. So the contract for cast members at Disneyland for cast members ended on June 16th, but the contract for Disney California Adventure and downtown Disney workers expires September 30th. So the bargaining committee said that it's committed to negotiations, which will, you know, have come back up today and tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:21:12 But it also said that we can strike any time we want. And I'm sure Disney will love that. I mean, they've had picketers. now for a little while. And man, oh man, nothing says like, have fun at Disneyland than a bunch of cast members picketing outside of Disneyland as you're trying to get in in Anaheim, California.
Starting point is 00:21:41 So good luck. God bless. If the strike does happen, it'll be the first at Disneyland in 40 years. They're fed up. They're fed up with being pushed around, Disney. They're ready to fight against its unfair labor practices. so we'll see what happens at Disneyland.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Be sure to follow me on my social media sites at Jeffrey JFR on X. I know I posted, well, I post stuff all the time, but one of the things that I posted this weekend was how long before we stopped calling posting something on X a tweet? I don't know that it ever goes away. It's part of our lexicon.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Very difficult to train ourselves now to talk about, well, I posted on X rather than, you know, I just tweeted it. And, uh, or, uh, someone, someone just tweeted it. It's just part of the lexicon. I know, I said all along. I wish Elon would have, uh, you know, just kept it, uh, Twitter under X. And, but, you know, no, he did, you know, amazingly, he does what he wants.
Starting point is 00:22:45 And he didn't, uh, he didn't, he didn't consult me. I know. Weird. Uh, you can also follow me on, uh, Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. Instagram. Jeff Fisher Radio. I see where Instagram is going to start allowing people to

Starting point is 00:25:16 Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Cheng Pepe I think that's how you pronounce it
Starting point is 00:25:26 then. If I'm wrong I apologize. Cheng P-EI dash Peei I Chinese-born
Starting point is 00:25:32 martial arts film actor who starred in Angley's Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon has died at the age of 78. According to the family, Cheng, who had been diagnosed with a rare illness with symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease, passed away at her home,
Starting point is 00:25:52 surrounded by loved ones. They said current medical treatment could not slow the progression of the disease, a neurodegenerative atypical Parkinson's syndrome, and that she had donated her brain for medical research. Wow. She was a big-time star. Shanghai-born film star became a household name in Hong Kong, once dubbed the Hollywood of the Far East. Her performances are in martial arts movies in the 60s. Of course, you remember her most famous film, Come Drink with Me, directed by
Starting point is 00:26:24 King Who and released in 1966. She played Jade Fox, who used as a poison needles in Crouching Tiger, Dragon, which also starred famed Hong Kong actor Chow Yun Fat and Oscar winning Michelle Yao. The movie released in 2000 grossed 1281. I thought it grossed more than that actually. But it won four Oscars
Starting point is 00:26:47 and it only got 128.1 million. That sounds like they're doing different books. And she was in Milan in 2020. So, you know, she was still up and working and she is survived by her three daughters and sons. So Chang Pepe.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Rest in peace, dead at the age of 78. Then it was announced that we lost Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas dead at the age of 74. According to her office, a fierce champion of the people. She was affectionately and simply known as Congresswoman by her constituents in recognition of her near ubiquitous presence and service to their daily. lives for more than 30 years. Right. A cause of death was not immediately disclosed. However, she did release last month that she'd been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which is
Starting point is 00:27:47 not good. You can quote me on that. If you have pancreatic cancer, the odds are not forever in your favor with that. Nobody wants that. So I'm sure that because, and this is just me speaking, and I didn't say this in the article, so I'm sure it had nothing to do with it. A lot of you have said, well, that's because she was vaxed. And what happened is
Starting point is 00:28:09 when you're vaxed, it just makes cancer turn into super cancer, and it grows faster than ever. It didn't say that of the story, my friend, okay? They didn't even announce what the cause of death was. So you can stop thinking that right now. Sheila Jackson-Lay,
Starting point is 00:28:27 Congresswoman, from Texas, dead at the age of 74. According to this, Friday's global computer outage affected 8.5 million Windows users. Boy, that seemed like a lot more than that. 1% of the total, despite causing widespread disruption. Yeah, that seems like it affected more than 8.5 million. Okay, so it affected 8.5 million Windows users.
Starting point is 00:28:59 But how many millions of people did that affect? because one of the 8.5 million users couldn't do what it's supposed to do. So just remember it was a faulty windows update from CrowdStrike, and that's what triggered the outage. So it wasn't a hack, okay? It was not a hack. One of the things I noticed that when they kept saying
Starting point is 00:29:22 all these airlines were down, and I was like, how come they aren't mentioning Southwest? And we joked about it. I don't know if it ever made it to the air, that Southwest was just using old Windows a version. And yes, that's exactly what it was. According to sources, the Windows version from 1992 is now saving Southwest's butt,
Starting point is 00:29:46 but that also hurt them in the past as well. So we'll see if they come along for the ride on the new Windows update. I guess UPS and FedEx haven't had any issues with crowdstreet. strike either and they apparently are using some old operating systems as well
Starting point is 00:30:07 I mean if it works why update why get going right so we'll see I know you know American Airlines were all grounded and we had all kinds of issues affecting a lot of people
Starting point is 00:30:21 with a lot of businesses so I just really want them to I don't like the downplaying of it that whole it only affected eight point wait and a half 0.5 million people. That's all.
Starting point is 00:30:32 That's all it's fine. No. It affected a lot more than that. Speaking of Southwest, though, I was reading an article about how some sky waitresses are getting harmed because cans are exploding
Starting point is 00:30:49 because it's too hot in the airplanes. So, yes, Southwest has confirmed that heat has warped some cans and caused others to burst open upon opening. And we've been telling our employees, the sky waitresses, to be careful during this. Now, we haven't had any incidents involving customers yet.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Yeah, you know, maybe by the time they get out in the aisle and start serving the customers, we've got to be careful that things aren't exploding in front of customers. So some 20 flight attendants have been injured by exploding cans this summer. Okay. Come on. Now, we've all had cans explode and we get wet. Is that injured? One who required stitches, uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:31:41 The union that represents Southwest has not responded to NPR's request for comment. Okay. So they, we know of one person, according to NBR that was into required stitches. 20, they claim, have been injured from safety, from these in-flight beverages exploding when the sky waitresses are serving foods. Be careful. Be careful. I know we've all, you know, those cities breaking temperature records,
Starting point is 00:32:11 climate change is now affecting the sky waitresses and they're getting harmed opening up different cans on the planes. We can't have that. And I know Delta, easy, calm down, Delta. I know you're all wound up because you're not able to wear your little pins on your. your vest anymore while you're serving people their food and drink. Take it easy. You don't have to wear the American flag. They're just saying if you're going to wear a pin, the only one you can wear
Starting point is 00:32:38 is the American flag. So put it on your jacket that you take off before you serve people their food and drink or put it on your luggage so you drag it through the airport and show off your Hamas flag and your Planned Parenthood flag or whatever LGBTQ flag or whatever flag you want to show off so you don't have to show off wearing the United States flag because I wouldn't want you to wear that. You know what the United States flag stands for, don't you? Exactly. With Amex Platinum,
Starting point is 00:33:23 $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. You know, we talked about the Poop River in Paris,
Starting point is 00:33:40 St. River, that they claim as fine now. And it's it was the Puparee River, but it's no longer the Pupory River. And of course they're going to use it for the Olympic triathlon swimmers and the opening ceremonies in four days from now. But they've
Starting point is 00:33:56 got nothing on us here in America, because in New Jersey, Beechwood Beach West in New Jersey, they're not allowing swimmers for the remainder of the summer. Why? High levels of fecal bacteria found in the water. Yeah!
Starting point is 00:34:12 Take that, France, okay? Take that in your little sane river trying to clean it up. We're shutting down for the summer, okay? The beach along the Tom's River was shut down for the remainder of the season for your safety and health and welfare because of the fecal matter found in the water. The county ocean people who test for poop in the water tested it for four straight weeks. and it was too high. So the county, you know, poop water people,
Starting point is 00:34:47 I think they call themselves the county health department. I call them the county food people. Oh, yeah, they shut it down. Now, there is a little good news. Now, the beach itself remains open. So you can go to the beach and get some sun and walk around the pier if you want. That extends into the water. But you can take a, you know, take in the scene.
Starting point is 00:35:11 and sit on the beach, but you can't go in the water. Man, how much fun does that sound? Hey, let's take the kids to the beach and tell them they can't go in the water. Yeah, that'll go over well. You know, speaking of the Olympics, I see where the WNBA All-Star game, which was not promoted very well. I guess it took place on Saturday, Saturday afternoon.
Starting point is 00:35:37 It should really strange. Anyway, the WNBA All-Star game. star team beat the WNBA, or it's not the WNBA, it's the women's Olympic basketball team. Okay. And they defeated the Olympic team, 117 to 109. So let me get this straight. Caitlin Clark, who will probably be the rookie of the year, could possibly even become the MVP, who has her team lined up to go to the playoffs in the WNBA.
Starting point is 00:36:11 beat the Olympic team, along with Angel Reese and other competitors, and the Dallas wings. E. Riki O'G-B-B-W-A-L-A-L-E. I know I nailed that. A-R-I-K-E-R-I-G-U-N-B-O-W-A-L-E. I've not watched near enough W-N-B-A-A to have this name in my head. She was the MVP of the game. But anyway, my point is that the girl, the female, that can't, that isn't good enough to be on the Olympic team beats you because she's playing on the other team.
Starting point is 00:36:52 It's just incredible to me. And it doesn't make any sense. And I know, you know, her and Caitlin played together on the same team. I know that her and Angel Reese, I mean, played together on the same team. It was the first time, actually, that they were on the same team. They've been adversaries for quite some time. And even Angel said, everybody can wear their get-along shirts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Is Angel realizing maybe she should zip it a little and be a little nicer? Maybe. Maybe we'll see. I know that Caitlin said that she's going to be happy with the break. They're at the big Olympic break now. She hasn't had a break since she got out of college. She went right in the WNBA. So that was the deal that they tried to push.
Starting point is 00:37:39 that, well, Caitlin needs a break. So the Olympics, it's good that she didn't get on the team because then she wouldn't get a break. She'd have to go play with the Olympics and then come back and play in the WNBA. So she is happy that she's going to get a break. I bet. I bet she is happy that she's going to get a break.
Starting point is 00:37:58 However, you know what else would make her happier? A gold medal! That's what would make her happy. A gold medal in the Olympics. So I just don't understand how she is. is not good enough for the WNBA, or I'm sorry, the Olympic women's basketball team. And the coach, who's a WNBA coach,
Starting point is 00:38:18 is trying to make nice, saying nice things about her last week. Nope, I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it, not yet. And as a side note, the men's Olympic basketball team, you know, the other NBA team for the Olympics, they just defeated South Sudan by one point. Now, could it be that they just didn't care? And it was South Sudan, so they did just enough to win?
Starting point is 00:38:48 Yeah, it could be. But that's pretty scary when South Sudan holds our NBA, I mean our Olympic team, to, you know, losing by only one point. When they came into the game, I think, I don't know, I think they were favored by 43 points at least. And they should have just trounced them by. more than that, but they only won by one point. So congratulations.
Starting point is 00:39:13 A win is a win. I'm sorry, what's that? Ogun-Bawale. Yeah, that's what I was close. Ogambawali. Ogun-Bawale. Yeah, I got it. Thank you. I appreciate it. I know. I look back in my head and I thought it's Ogam-Bawali. I didn't need you to point it out to me. Thanks, though. Appreciate it. It's a R-K-2. I got it. It's A-R-I-K-E. That's how you spell her name it's Urique,
Starting point is 00:39:41 Eureke, Eureke, Eureke, Aririki, Ogunboale. So back off me. So, Arrique, no, yeah, Aririke Ogumboale. She plays for the Dallas Wings of the WNBA. She was
Starting point is 00:39:57 the MVP of the All-Star game. So, back off me, okay? All right, let's get out of here. I just want to get that right. But the Orique, Ogabawali. So this is a joke of the day from Derek

Starting point is 00:40:28 favorite website, he typed a very long password. She asked him what it was. And he said, well, Mickey, mini, goofy, Pluto. And she asked him, Why would you use such a password? Because it says your password has to be at least four characters. See, because the characters are Mickey, Minnie, goofy, Pluto.
