And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
Okay, for quite some time, we have heard about the raccoon issue in Toronto.
We've had people locking up trash cans.
They've told people, they've sent people special trash cans because raccoons were terrorizing neighborhoods.
Well, now we have raccoons actually terrorizing the city of Toronto.
They knocked out power, or one anyway, knocked out power to thousands of people in downtown Toronto.
7,000 customers in the city's downtown were without power for more than two hours after a lone raccoon made contact with a transformer at a transmission station in the Church Wellesley area, if you know, Toronto.
So a Hydra 1 spokesperson, Cruz were able to confirm that the outage was caused by the raccoon.
and how did they confirm that?
Well, good news, the animal died on site.
The animals should not have been messing around
with the utility power station at all.
So they say that they take it very seriously
and will look at whatever measures
it can put in place to prevent similar outages
from happening again.
I know one way.
You know, just a thing.
thought. Animals
apparently do take to
the power stations and they say that
we want to prevent animal
related outages at power stations.
I know. So here's
a way to do it.
Either by the state or by hydro
one or arming citizens
in Toronto to take it into their
own hands. I think
you know, you come outside your house and there's a
raccoon rummaging through your
trash and they hear
maybe they
stop. I think
most raccoons would probably turn around
get up on their hind legs and say
what? What do you got for me?
That's when
that sends a message
to the other raccoons. Like the humans
mean business now. This is just a thought
from me for Toronto.
You're welcome. And I know all our friends in Pita
well, we're not really friends
of this program, we'll be
against it. So maybe we, I don't know,
We trap them, we ship them back out to the woods.
I don't know.
Raccoons are mean.
They're nasty.
And they breed like wildfire.
So you got to put an end to it somehow.
Don't you?
I mean, I guess going through garbage is one thing.
But when they start knocking out power stations, something has to be done.
And it might as well be...
Welcome.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
I mean,
Maybe you just hang the raccoon that fried itself at the power station in Toronto.
Maybe you just hang him up outside of the power station.
It would keep the other raccoons away.
Like, no, I'm not going in there.
That would be awesome.
And as long as we're talking about Toronto, I know last week or the week before,
we talked about how they had their tobogganing.
at 45 parks in the city.
I don't know, maybe kids were being attacked by raccoons.
It didn't say that in the story.
It just said that the city didn't want to be responsible.
They allowed the kids to go to some other parks to toboggan,
but we just didn't want to have bales of hay
and having kids hurt themselves while they're trying to have fun.
But now they're looking to remove that.
Huh, huh.
There's a few council members that are like,
uh, this is stupid.
and we need to stop this.
Okay, we need to overturn the tobogging ban
at 45 parks here in Toronto.
This is a fun outdoor winter activity
that we've done forever,
and we need to go ahead and ban this.
We need to ban the ban.
So I hope that's the phrase that we're using in Toronto,
ban the ban,
and let the kids start tobogginging down the hill again.
Okay, so I'm looking at wallet,
Hub, well, Cassandra
HAPP-E, I hope
I'm pronouncing that right, she's a wallet
hub analyst.
Her quote is, although residents
of every state have wonderful qualities,
people across the nation
have their own moral struggles, from
violent outbursts and bullying
to compulsive gambling, excessive
lust, and self-destructive
consumption. At the individual
level, harmful behavior may only
impact a few people, but when a higher
share of a state's population, engage
in these activities, it diminishes the overall quality of life.
Well, thank you, Cassandra.
So Wallet Hub, along with, I'm guessing Cassandra, who is a Wallet Hub analyst, they compared
50 states across 55 key indicators of immoral or illicit behavior.
Data set ranges from violent crimes per capita to excessive drinking to the share of the
population with gambling disorders.
Now, I'm going to ask you a question.
Who do you think the most sinful state in the United States is?
Go ahead.
I'll wait.
Okay, the most, no, I won't wait.
Number one is pretty self-explanatory.
So we'll start at 10.
The most sinful states, according to Wallet Hub.
Number 10 is Delaware.
Wow.
Number two in Jealousy rank.
Number nine is Pennsylvania.
Wow.
Pennsylvania doesn't rank in the top ten of any of the anger and hatred, jealousy rank, excessive vices, greed, lust rank.
All right.
Number eight, Arizona.
Number seven, Texas.
Texas ranks sixth in jealousy rank and number one in lust rank.
A lot of people walking around Texas going, oh, yeah.
like to get me some of that.
South Carolina coming in at number six.
They come in at number two with the anger and hatred rank.
And number three with the greed rank.
Tennessee coming in at number five.
They're number three with the anger and hatred rank.
Number two in excesses and vices rank.
And number five in the lust rank.
Tennessee, strong showing in the top ten at number five.
Florida is number four.
They come in at number five with the jealousy rank and number four with the lust rank.
Not, I mean, anger and hatred, 41st, Vices, 42nd, greed rank, 32nd, but that still puts them up to number four.
California, of course, is number three.
They come in at number two behind Texas with the lust rank.
People in Texas and California, both walking around with, oh, yeah, I got to get me some of that.
Louisiana coming in at number two,
they come at number one with excesses and vices rank.
Louisiana is in the number top ten,
fourth in anger and hatred,
fourth in jealousy rank,
eighth in the lust rank,
and number one, of course, in the vices rank.
And coming in at number one,
the number one most sinful state
in the United States of America,
according to Wallet Hub,
and Wallet Hub,
analyst Cassandra Hap.
Say it with me now.
Nevada. That's right.
Nevada. Big surprise.
They're number one.
They come in seventh in anger and hatred.
Third in the jealousy rank.
Third in excesses and vices.
Number one in yes greed.
And number three in the lust rank.
So a strong, strong showing
for the most sinful state in the United States.
Congratulations, Nevada.
congratulations. Oh my gosh, that's where the Super Bowl is this year.
And good news for Vegas, because I see where a last-minute deal was reached with the union
representing hospitality workers that's going to avoid the, well, it would have been a messy
situation ahead of the arrival of the football fans far and wide. Yeah, the culinary workers
union confirmed the new contracts were in the works, and that will ensure hotel restaurants
keep dishing out meals to hungry guests.
So no worries if you're headed to Sin City for the Super Bowl.
You'll still get served, you know, whatever food or whatever you want without hesitation.

If you didn't already know this, some of the best soap on the market today is made from goat milk.
That's something Quinn Pittman found out at an early.
early age. That's why he is the
goat king. And he's been making
it from his own herd of goats ever since.
And I, rumor has it, that
the goat king is going to be
expanding his
his goat herd kingdom.
So, I mean,

I guess we'll do 90 loads.
That's what it says here.
I'm not doing the math for you.

Okay, many of you have reached out, and I just want to say, no, it's not me.
Okay, I'd like to take credit for it, but I see where Missouri Athletics,
that's the University of Missouri Athletics, received a $62 million gift from an anonymous donor.
It wasn't me.
Okay?
I did not donate $62 million.
I'd like to take credit for it and say,
yeah, it was me, but it wasn't.
It's the largest amount donated to the Mizzou Athletics in school history.
Now, according to this, the majority of the money is slated for renovations to Mizzou Football's Memorial Stadium.
The anonymous donor, not me,
designated $50 million to redevelop the North Concourse as well as contribute to other stadium upgrades.
I mean, Memorial Stadium has already expanded the North Video board with an upgrade
sound system for 2024.
And so the other $12 million of the gift will go to the
Mizzou Tiger Fund, a program through the Tiger Scholarship Fund that
helped student athletes started in 2023.
So the $62 million gift is more than double the previous
record that was given in 2012.
I didn't give that either.
So I'd like to be the one to say, yep, that was me.
But I would give it as an anonymous donor.
Now, I would like to say that if there's an anonymous donor that would like to donate money to chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher, I'm here and I'm willing to accept it.
I would like to come on the air and say, hey, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher has received whatever amount as an anonymous donor.
And thank you, Fenn, we're upgrading the Chewing the Fat podcast.
Thanks to this anonymous donation.
Now, that could happen, I guess, if I hit the lotto.
Nobody hit the powerball last night.
So it's now $228 million jackpot, 112.6 cash payout.
That drawing is tomorrow, for those of you listening live, Wednesday, the 7th of February.
As for today, Megamillions has a drawing worth $358 million jackpot, $174.2 million cash payout.
and you know so i could i guess we could still hit that and if somebody hits that and then wants to give
an anonymous donation to chewing the fat uh you know what thank you uh thank you on behalf of chewing the
fat i would accept the anonymous donation all right let's go to the break room i need something cool
to drink desperately wow so i'm looking at a story about
the television show Yellowstone and it looks like that show is done all right so we get the last half
of season five later this year without Kevin Costner without John Dutton he's done he's not part of
the final season of season five season six has been canceled so that's not happening all right
so you have the new show I think it's called 24 that's Taylor Sheridan's
way of naming shows now?
We just name them by a year and we're good.
That's what we do, 1883, 1924, whatever it is.
We name them by the U.S. Taylor's deal now.
Okay, I got it.
I like it.
It's cute.
So apparently, the new show tentatively titled 2024.
And that's the one with what's his face, McConaughey.
Well, Kelly Riley, Cole Houser and Luke Grimes might not be reprising those.
roles in the new series because they want more money and they're saying hey if you want the
originals you got to pay some more money so uh beth dutton kelly wants a million two per episode wow
according to this story look she came down she made a disson she wanted 1.5 tell you what tell
them i'll do it for 1-2 uh okay no problem colehaauser who plays rip as asking for 1.25
$5 million an episode.
They're not saying how much
Grimes asked for
who plays Casey Dunn, but he
obviously wanted a pay raise.
So,
they're fighting over how much they're going to get paid
for the new series,
which is tentatively titled again
2024, because
Paramount and the rest of them are
trying to say, well, look,
we still have to pay you,
for season six, which isn't going to happen.
Oh, okay.
So they got pay bumps for season six salaries,
but now season six isn't going to happen.
So I guess we're just saying,
hey, there's going to be there.
We're planning on so many episodes in season six.
And since it's not going to happen,
this is what you get paid because it's not going to happen,
but you're still under contract.
Wow.
That'd be nice.
That'd be sweet.
You don't have to do anything, and we're still going to pay you, I don't know, $800,000 an episode.
I don't know what they're making per episode.
They've got, they certainly, if they're asking for one, two, they're not making that.
So they're probably making, what, eight, 900,000 an episode already.
And then they're going to have, what, 2024?
They'll probably go into some kind of lawsuit because Yellowstone will say, well, we're only going to make two episodes in season six.
Sorry.
No, there's no way we were going to make 10 episodes or 12 episodes.
We're not paying you all that money.
So that will be a fun lawsuit to have.
So we'll see.
We'll see.
We do have the, you know, we do have part two of season five premiering the end of this year, 2024.
We'll see if that, you know, what comes of that.
And then, I mean, we've got the, we've got the 1883.
We've got the 1923.
We've got the 1944.
And we've got the new spinoff series title.
666, which is Taylor's Ranch,
and we're looking on the new show with
McConaughey, 2024.
So,
don't count on them being in the new series.
Paramount just might say, eh, you know what,
for a million an episode, yeah,
we're not going to do that. Now, that would be difficult
to do because Matthew, you know,
I like Matthew McConaughey, but can he
hold down the ford of a Yellowstone show?
without them?
We'll probably find out.
And maybe we'll just have talks
with a new show called Rip.
Or a new show,
you know,
we'll have those as a separate show,
which would be off shoes to Yellowstone,
which wouldn't be bad.
They might be able to pull it off.
Speaking of Yellowstone,
the park, not the show,
I see where actor Pierce Bronson,
who I love,
I love his work,
he's in trouble now
with the Yellowstone Park people.
I know.
So apparently, last fall, he was filming a movie called The Unholy Trinity, or at least tentatively titled The Unholy Trinity, also starring Samuel L. Jackson.
And while in the area, this happened last year.
While in the area, he decided to take a trip to Yellowstone National Park in the northwest corner of Wyoming.
He was touring the enormous 2.2 million acre park, and he allegedly made two illegal missteps.
On one occasion, the 70-year-old allegedly ventured,
wow, Pierce Bronson is 70 years old already.
He allegedly ventured into mammoth terraces,
a hot springs area that was closed to the public at the time.
He then also supposedly wandered off the walkway
in another thermal area of the park.
That bastard.
How he wasn't hung and at the gate, I don't know.
So, according to federal law,
all Yellowstone tourists must restrict their foot travel to boardwalks or trails that are maintained for such travel and are marked by official signs.
So I don't know that he took pictures or it happened there because they say he eventually received two federal citations,
one for foot travel in all thermal areas and within Yellowstone Canyon confined to trails,
and the other for violating closures and use limits.
The maximum penalty for those offenses include six months behind bars and a $5,000 fine.
Pierce will not be spending any time in jail.
I can promise you that.
Here's a little money for the fine.
All right, get out of here.
You know what?
And here's a couple extra bucks.
I'll let somebody paint the boardwalks on my behalf, okay?
So he pleaded not guilty with his attorney.
hearing at the District Court of Wyoming back in January.
Okay.
So now he has a virtual hearing coming up the 20th of this month.
So we'll see.
He has not commented on that.
Now, they claim, according to this article,
well, some of the most dangerous attractions in the park are there,
these thermal areas and water temperatures can reach a scalding 175 degrees Fahrenheit.
And the park warns visitors that hot,
Springs have injured or killed more people in Yellowstone than any other natural feature.
Okay, well, he didn't die.
And if he had, you know, it'd been, that would have been a big story.
Pierce Bronson dead at Yellowstone.
Shouldn't have stepped off the trails, Pierce.
We'll see what happens.
I guarantee, I all but guarantee that Pierce Bronson is not going to spend six months or any time behind bars.
for this federal offense at the national park.
Here's a fine.
Two offenses.
Here's 10 grand.
Here's another five to, you know, sorry about it.
I'll paint the new sign for you.
And you know what?
I'll do a PSA.
I'll do a PSA for you that says,
hey, stay on the boardwalk.
Don't walk off.
This is Pierce Bronson.
He's not going to be spending any.
time in jail. You or I? You may cause. You may get six months behind bars and a fine. Pierce,
that's not going to happen. You and I both know that. It's a two-tier justice system for something
like this. 100%. With Amex Platinum, $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.
Who died today? Who died today? Very sad news, as I know they all are, but Toby Keith.
Toby Keith, the country singer, dead at the age of 62. You know Toby, I mean, he had hits of Red Solo cop and should have been a cowboy.
So he had been diagnosed with stomach cancer back in 2022. And so everyone knew that he was struggling with the,
with the cancer.
According to his family,
he passed away peacefully.
I mean, I guess that's what they all say.
He passed away peacefully surrounded by his family.
Toby was 62.
It's really, really sad.
I know that one of the things that they talked about
was he released a project
every year for almost two decades.
Songwriter, hit machine,
some of the most, you know,
well-known songs.
So, very sad.
Kobe Keith, dead at the age of 62. Rest in peace.
You know, when he was asked about it, he was on one of the, I don't know, some award show,
and he was asked about his cancer diagnosis.
And he said that it's a little bit of a roller coaster.
You get good days and, you know, you're up and down and up and down.
It's always zero to 60 and 60 to zero, but I feel good today.
Wow. That's a good line. That's why he's Toby Keith, the songwriter. That's a great song right there.
Somebody hope, I hope we'll pick that up because, you know, it's always zero to 60 and 60 to zero.
But I feel good today. Toby Keith, dead at the age of 62. Okay, also, I mean, you know, no one supports zoos more than this show and myself. No one supports zoos more than I do.
And so who died today? Walnut.
white-naped crane has died at the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute
at the age of 42. Walnut became, well, fell in love with her human zookeeper and regarded,
and this guy, I guess they were mates. And I mean by, I don't know that there was any
mate business going on, but there was love from walnut.
And so Chris Crow, the human zookeeper who was in love with walnut or walnut was in love
with him, he was quoted as saying, I'll always be grateful for her bond with me.
Oh, now you may have remembered them because they had internet fame and the occasional love song.
and it dates back to the bird's 2004 arrival at the Institute's campus and Front Royal Virginia.
So the chick of two wild cranes who had been brought to the U.S. illegally and were later rescued.
So was an anchor baby, an anchor crane.
Rescued by the International Crane Foundation.
I love them.
Walnut was hand-raised by people and bonded with her human caretakers.
That preference continued when she came to the Institute.
She showed no interest in breeding and even attacked male crane suitors.
No way.
She's got my man.
Chris Crow, you back off me, right?
So, there we go.
Crow stepped in, one or over, and that was love from first sight.
So, a rest in peace, walnut, the white napeed crane from the Smithsonian's National Zoo
and Conservation Biology Institute.
dead at the age of 42.
Then we have another animal that we lost.
Butros, I think it's Butros.
B-U-T-R-O-S.
So that's his name.
The Aldebra tortoise,
a member of the species,
one of the largest land tortoises,
and reportedly loved by all,
dead at the age of 150.
I know.
Rest in peace.
Butros.
or butros,
B-U-T-R-O-S.
Passed away earlier this month.
I know we just find this out about it now.
Maybe it took him a while to realize he was dead.
So it says there,
he spent many of his days enjoying the simple things of life.
A pool to soak in,
the sun to bathe in,
and snacks of willow hay, lettuce,
and the occasional carrot.
That's great.
Maybe they didn't realize he was dead.
Maybe he was just hanging out over there
in the corner of the zoo.
And finally somebody said,
you know, Bunchers hasn't moved in a week or two.
Maybe somebody ought to go over there and check on him.
And they did.
Well, darn the luck.
He's dead.
You may have seen him.
They've posted videos about him over the years from the Idaho Falls Zoo.
And he was a, you know, a big attraction at the old Idaho Falls Zoo.
I mean, I guess he still could be.
You just leave the shell out there and say, yeah, that's buttress.
We just, the humans could just move the shell around once in a while and pretend that it was him.
Oh, just stop it.
Okay.
So, rest in peace, buttress, the aldebra tortoise, dead at the age of 150 years.
Speaking of zoos, long as we're covering zoos, we might as well talk about San Antonio.
Zoo. I know that all of you
still have a chance to name your cockroaches
at all kinds of zoos around
America. It's a big deal. Valentine's Day
Moneymaker
for the zoos. You could name
items that the zoo
uses to feed their animals
and you can name them after your exes
and then you can stream it and
watch the zoo feed the animals
your exes cockroach.
Good times.
Good times. But also at the
San Antonio Zoo, they are
expanding and during their construction of the new savannah habitat they found a time capsule
now the time capsule is from 1993 i don't know it doesn't seem that it should be we should have just
left it buried uh it's 1993 is that 30 years uh that really doesn't seem like much of a time capsule
but uh they opened it up and i know people thought that it was possible possibly the
you know, extending car warranty from the zoo.
But it was not.
It was old zoo maps, employee newsletters, and pamphlets that were revealed in the capsule,
proving just how much the zoo has changed in the past 30 years.
Yeah, it's only been 30 years.
Maybe we just should have buried it.
Roll it back up again and bury it.
So we can find it in another 30.
And then it'll be 60 years and it will actually be, you know, like a time capsule.
something that we, you know, find fascinating.
I don't know that I find something 30 years ago fascinating,
but, you know, I looked at it and I looked at the pictures of the stuff
and I read the story, so I guess it was worth something.
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.
Ooh, cashmere.
Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love.
Brushes too.
And hustled all those wishless topping toys.
So plush.
Our buyers have got you covered.
Marshals, we get the deals.
You gift the good stuff.
All right, so you know, climate change is real.
All right?
I just want you to know climate change is real.
And we are discussing things that are happening because of the changing of the climate.
It is unbelievable.
Don't look at me like that.
I mean that.
There's a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Man, I love the proceedings of the National Academy of Scientists.
No sign, not scientists, sciences.
All right.
It's the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Now, they argue that hurricanes are getting so powerful due to climate change
that the upper limit of the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale,
a cat 5 is antiquated.
They propose adding a category 6 label
to any tropical cyclone
with sustained winds of at least 192 miles per hour.
The lead author of the published report,
Michael Wenner, said that's probably faster
than most Ferraris.
Thank you, lead author.
The scientists found that five storms
had exceeded a hypothetical category 6,
and they've occurred since 2013.
They've all occurred since 2013.
Well, then we need to change everything.
Then we find out that because of record-breaking heat waves
that made their way across the U.S. in the summer of 2023,
oh, no.
Now that means that that caused an uptick in severe flesh-eating infections.
Now, I am not a fan of flesh-eating infections.
Just don't want to be on record, okay?
It's a deadly bacterial species that resides in coastal waters, this according to the CDC.
Noted an infection can happen when a wound comes into contact with raw or undercooked seafood,
its juices or its drippings, or with salt water or brackish water,
adding that it can cause life-threatening wound infections.
The CDC went on to suggest that about one and five people who get infected end up dying
just a day or two after being infected.
really because I have experience with someone who got a wound infected from ocean water.
And he didn't lose a leg, he didn't lose his life, and the wound is healed now.
So it took a long time.
It took a long, long time to heal that wound.
But that's why he had a wound down his leg and he was walking in nasty water.
And that was before the summer of 2023.
So just letting you know that, oh my gosh, it happened earlier than they say.
So if the bacteria is ingested through raw or undercooked seafood, it can cause serious gastrointestinal infection.
This could sometimes result in vomiting fever or watery diarrhea.
It can also result in sepsis, an extreme response that can lead to life-threatening septic shock.
Yeah, an extreme response, like one and how many?
I don't know.
So just know that now we have to worry about.
Hurricanes getting stronger.
We have to worry about flesh-eating bacteria becoming more prevalent.
And now we find out that a good plan, a group of Israeli scientists,
believe that we should send up a giant parasol to block the sun.
Okay, come on.
Let's stop it.
We're going to send up a giant umbrella.
to float in outer space?
Yes.
We're going to create a huge sunshade
and send it to a faraway point
between the Earth and the sun
to block a small but crucial amount
of solar radiation, enough
to counter global warming.
Okay, stop it.
So scientists have calculated
that it's just shy of 2%
of the sun's radiation is blocked.
That would be enough to cool the planet
by 1.5 degrees Celsius
or 2.7 degrees.
Fahrenheit and keep the earth
with manageable climate boundaries.
Yeah, because we're not in manageable climate
boundaries now, right?
Right, that's what you have to believe.
So the idea
obviously is
agonizing
to me. I guess I just hate
the earth. A recent study
led by the University of Utah
explored scattering dust
deep into space.
You know what?
Send some cleaners over to my house.
and they can take all the dust they want.
Utah, University of Utah,
come, come to my home and clean it
and take all the dust you want.
It is all yours.
I give it to you.
You're welcome.
They want to send this dust into space.
Okay, as a shield.
All right.
MIT, I think these are just crazy ideas, right?
They're creating a shield made of
space bubbles.
Okay.
They want to talk about tethering a big solar shield
to a repurposed asteroid.
Okay.
I am a fan of the University of Utah
coming to my house and cleaning it
and taking all the dust.
And then, hey, let's shoot it off into space
and have it explode out in space.
So we have dust particles,
blocking the sun
because the sun couldn't burn
through that, right?
Right.
Just a few
examples of where
we're at and
it is
well it's funny.
It's just funny to me.

All right.
I'll leave you with the,
well, the joke slash thought of the day
to get you through the day.
This was on a sign outside of an auto automobile shop.
And so I don't know if it was real.
not could be could be made up it's too good to be real but I like it so we'll pretend it's real okay
all right so in front of this auto shop there on their sign they had things that tell the
truth things that tell the truth they said it once I said it twice small children
drunk people and yoga pants that's what they said on the
their sign. Don't look at me like I said it. I'm just telling you what the what the sign said.
Probably isn't real anyway. I would recommend not wearing yoga pants to a number of people
on the planet though. Maybe that has something to do with climate change as well.
