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. We may have a new world record. A lady found a bottle with a message in it.

I've been singing the police. Message in a bottle all morning long since I saw this story. And no, I don't want to hear it. So if that it's corroborated, this would be a new world record. They believe these are from 1876. All right. I know. Pretty cool, actually.

It's three papers. One believed to be a business card for a former Philadelphia, Pennsylvania retailer. Another handwritten note affiliated with an elephant. Atlantic City yacht came from a bottle discovered on Ocean City's Beach. So the bottle, this lady found, they believe, may have been tossed from a vessel 10 years before the current world record holder went to sea, which because Tanya and Kim Ilman, pretty soon will be the former world record holders, found the bottle in 2018, and that holds the record for the oldest message in a bottle.

until now. So she went for a walk in New Jersey. She's out passing the time of day at Corson's Inlet State Park in Ocean City. And man, how beautiful is Corson's Inlet State Park this time of year at Ocean City? You can't describe it. Amy Smith Murphy made her way from the deep sand toward the ocean. And that's when she found a message in the bottle. And it wasn't an SOS though.

Although it doesn't say what was on the letter. It doesn't say. It just says there was a business card and a letter from this Atlantic City yacht, from some guy with this Atlantic City Yacht company. Doesn't say what he was saying. So it may have been an SOS. I don't know that. So congratulations.

If it actually turns out to be the world record for the oldest. message in a bottle. However, you know, it could be a ruse too. But the bottle had bar and brother Philadelphia on it. Business records show the company was in operation in Philadelphia between 1860 and

1870. One of the pieces of paper refers to WG and J. Clem, a pair of brothers, William and John Clem, and they ran a gentleman's furnishing good company on North Third Street in Philadelphia, and that dissolved in 1881. So kind of cool.

Kind of cool when you find a message in the bottom. What are you going to do, Sting? What are you going to do? Oh, that's right. They're going to send an SOS. I can't believe I'm doing this this early in the show, because I haven't even welcome to anybody. I'm going to this stupid song in my head.

for the rest of the day. You know, I saw the police, I don't know, multiple times in my life. I saw Sting a couple times just as Sting. I love that band. And it's now stuck in my head for the rest of the weekend. Welcome. And you might as well come along for the ride too.

Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. A new survey has found that California drivers are the most confrontational motorists across all 50 states. Really? Isn't that interesting? With a high percentage, also having been the victim of road... Well, that's the way it would work.

If you have the most road rangers, then you're going to have the most victims of road rangers. Are you not? Okay. So they have also the most people being cut off, cursed at, and tailgated. Now, I will say this, just as a side now, before we get into some of the numbers on this new study, I'm sorry, survey.

that I'm like an inside the car, Road Rager. We've talked about this before. I mean, I just like, no, you can't pull that over. All right, go ahead. Go ahead. I am not letting this guy get in. Don't you dare let this guy in. Don't let him.

Don't let him, don't. All right. Go ahead. And I just, so I'm screaming and I was raising my hands. But I'm doing the inside my car. You know, I'm not actually. And there may be a time. No, I'm not doing that.

I'm not doing that. No, I'm not. although if I were to carry a weapon with me, it's possible that that could happen. And I wouldn't use it. I would just, you know, you just, when you pull up right behind some guy that you're tailgating and you just hold it up in the windshield,

and you just do that to say, move it. You know, let them know that it could happen. I wouldn't do it. I was just letting them know I could do it. So Forbes Advisors, a news and information website, thank you. They surveyed 10,000 licensed drivers and compared all 50 states across nine key metrics. The data also showed that nearly one third of those surveyed said they have been on the receiving end of yelling insults. Then drive correctly!

That should tell you something. Have you been on the receiving end of yelling insults, curses, threats? or even a quick, then move over. Get off the road. Learn what merge is. I mean, that's possible, right? Okay, so more than 60% of the respondents

said another driver has tailgated their car. That should tell you something. Okay, so, but is that just California that's seeing road rage and confrontational drivers? Yeah, I believe that. because I see quite a bit of it. Now, I would, I just have seen road ragers. Seriously, here, Intel, I've seen it in Florida.

I've seen it in Texas. Don't know that I've actually, if I witnessed someone road raging when I lived in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, I don't think so. I don't think I, I don't think I, I witnessed it. Yeah, there weren't any ragers against the Amish.

Maybe there should have been, move over! You can't plus I mean a lot of times I don't think the Amish have the rearview mirror Do they? So they wouldn't see the It wouldn't mean anything to them

Because they didn't see it Anyway so a number of road rage incidents Across the United States Has served over the past decade Between 2014 and 20203 Road rage shootings increased by more than 400% Well look if you're And by road rage shooting

I'd be interested to see If that meant that the road rager was shot? Or if the person that the road rager was raging against was scared and shot the road rager. That makes sense to me, right? That makes sense to me. Because if I'm, you know, being raged against for something that I did or didn't do, uh, and now I'm being followed and, you know, just swerved, trying to swerve and catch up to me and bump into my bumper or holler and yell at me or get up behind me and, I mean, I'm going to, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, have a weapon especially here in Texas. I'm shooting

back. Whoa, no, no, don't, no, do not fire that weapon yet. He didn't, he was not coming up on the car. He was not coming up on the auto yet. So, and I don't, I am, don't not recommend that. I'm saying, don't do that whatever you do.

But it wouldn't surprise me if something like that were happened, right? Because I, I mean, I literally have seen, you know, road ragers going crazy. Because a certain car, you know, ticked them off and did something. I don't know what.

Some perceived mishap. And then they're just, I mean, they are weaving and waving out of traffic and getting up on the car that they're raging against. And it's really, I don't know, scary is the right word, but you're on, I mean, I'm on a 20 lane highway. We're all going 70 miles an hour or more. And now you've got a guy or a lady, usually a guy, going out of control. swerving in and out of traffic trying to catch up to a car that's, you know,

giving him some perceived anger issue. And now we're going to attack that with it when all the rest of us are going. I mean, kind of scary. It is kind of scary, actually. That's when you just kind of hit the brakes and let it happen in front of you. Just be ready to move around. And something bad happens, just go around. Just pull over and I'll just wait for it to calm down a little bit.

Okay. I'm just going to sit here. No, officer, I'm fine. I was a road rager dude that went by, and I thought, I need to just let that happen, okay? Then I'll get home, because I'm like, I'm not in a rush. I'm just going to let it go on, okay? So if you're driving in California, really, I mean,

just road rage inside your car really is the sum of this story. Be a road rager to yourself. Road rage yourself. You know, just know that you're hollering and yelling, and I can't believe you did that, but do it inside your car. So when you get out, you're not angry, it's okay, you're fine. Okay.

That's all. It's just, it's not a euphism for anything. I don't mean nothing. I'm not talking about, well, I mean, you can pull over and fire up the bong. But just, just relax, okay? You're driving out there, go whatever speed you're supposed to go. And let other drivers get in front of you. It's no big deal.

Look, does that extra 30, really mean a difference. Yes, yes, it does. You know, and the older you get, and I'll just leave it at that, all right? The older you get, the movie falling down with Michael Douglas, all right? As a younger person, you'd view that and go,

wow, that guy, you know, off his rocker, what's wrong with him? I mean, he was just, they wouldn't serve him breakfast at McDonald's and he goes off the deep end. As you get older and experience more things in life, you watch that movie with a new attitude. You watch that movie with a, I hope he's someone,

I want him to blow the whole place up, man. It's amazing. No wonder he's so mad. They wouldn't serve him breakfast. Of course he's mad. So if you haven't seen the movie in a while, the next time you watch it, you'll see it with new eyes.

As long as you're looking around with those new eyes and you're seeing things in a new light, you know that natural disasters can happen at the blink of an eye, a blink of one of those eyes looking into newly, looking at life through those new eyes.

Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. too and hustled all those wish list topping toys so plush our buyers have got you covered marshals we get the deals you gift for good stuff okay uh let's talk a little bit about ftx shall we i thought we were done with ftx but we're not uh they were ordered to pay 12.7 billion dollars to customers all customers will recoup their deposits that were locked when the crypto exchange

went under in 2022 so the commodity Futures Trading Commission said yesterday, the 8th of August, 2024, that FDX was able to guarantee the payments thanks to its bankruptcy liquidation, which it's also used to reach settlements with regulators and former business partners of founder Sam Bankman-Fried. So Sam Bakeman-Fried is serving 25 years in prison for fraud. but all the people that were stiffed are getting their money back. How is that? I need it to explain to me.

I just all. I just want to explain to me. I understand. Hey, Sam Beckman-free, bad guy. I got it. He's horrible. He's just, you know, he's a, that guy, he looks shady. I know.

I got it. But I just would like to understand how he's in jail for fraud. And yet everything that he represented is now those people are getting all their money back. Now, I know that some of the customers feel, oh, they feel stiff. Those payouts based on 2022 crypto prices, not the crypto prices that we have now. Well, that's the way it goes. Sorry, you're getting your money back. I just find it really strange that this guy is locked away.

And yet all the people, all the people involved are getting their money back. Huh, just seems weird to me. Also, we had a big bust at the border. We've had some record bust as of late. Interesting how that's happening right now, isn't it? Since there's a new campaign for president and all that stuff going on. Anyway, the specific bust took place at the Far International Bridge. And, yeah, I love the Far International Bridge.

The truck was supposed to be loaded with lettuce. I know there was lettuce of the truck, okay? but it was supposed to be fully loaded with lettuce. There was lettuce on the truck, and there was 3,429.6 pounds of meth. 3,429.6 pounds of meth. Yeah, a big cash register. Now, they claim that if these drugs did hit the street,

they would have a street value of around $48 million. Wow. Okay, so let's say it's only 40. Let's say it's only 40. Don't lie to me about the 48, okay? So they keep trying different ways. I mean, that's an awful big shipment to get confiscated. Right?

We know every time they have shipments confiscated, I figure that another three got through, right? So, and they usually, oh, they get 1,000 pounds of meth then you'd figure that the 3,000 pound meth shipment would get through. This time it didn't. So either someone didn't make a payment. It doesn't say if the dogs smelled it because the lettuce would cover up the smell, right? And that's what they're hoping for.

So I don't know if the dogs smelled it and that made them have the secondary search or if it was just, you know, I got a funny feeling about this lettuce truck. Pull over. We need to search it and see what's going on. That could be too. I'm sure that my, I mean, just me thinking out loud that someone didn't make a payment. Oh my gosh. No, sorry, I'm just joking around about that.

I don't believe that the cartels would be paying off any law enforcement officials to help them with their smuggling. All right, let's go to the break room.

First two games played last night. We've got games tonight. For those of you listening live, today is the 9th of August, 2024.

So there's games going on. The Olympics are wrapping up, but we'll get to some Olympics. I've got some, a couple of great Olympic stories I've got to get to when I break down some of the gold medal runs. But then now we have, let's see, the instigators on Apple TV starts this weekend with Matt Damon and Casey Affleck. I guess Ben Affleck was a little busy breaking up with Jailo So Matt said

All right, I'll work with your brother, fine I'll let your brother make some money Fine Oh, he's won an Oscar, Jeff Yeah, okay I was for that stupid East Coast movie Whatever was up there

Yeah, Manchester by the sea Oh my gosh I kept waiting for that movie to get better And they didn't get an Oscar for it I mean it was all right And then we had the end, just leaving it at all right. That's my review. It was all right.

And then we had the finale of House of the Dragon, which I'm told had 8.9 million viewers. I didn't know that it was a season finale. I may have tuned in Sunday night. Was I doing something Sunday night? I don't remember. Because I haven't watched, I'm not up to date on House of Dragon yet. I forget how many episodes I'm in.

but it's really, how can I put this? Boring. It's really, this season has been really boring to me. So it's taken a lot for me to get through these episodes. I'm getting through them because I like the Game of Thrones. I like the premise. I like the whole thing. I like the dragons.

I got it. But it's just, oh my gosh, get to it. Let's have it. Maybe I should do that. Maybe I need to do that. Okay, this is when she's going to get the dragon. And then this is the dream where she's screwing his mom. Yeah, we want to watch that for sure.

Okay, and then now I think she's going to like slide up him down on the dragon. Oh, yeah. You're right. It might make it better. I don't know. But, you know, we'll get 8.9 million viewers worldwide for the season finale, season two finale of House of the Dragon. I'm told, didn't we, I don't know if I reported it or not.

We talked about it. but I think they announced that there'll be a fourth season because there's for sure a third and I think they announced there'll be a fourth season and that's the last one. That's the final one. Good! Let's move on.

And then we've got the preview. Remember we have the prequel to the prequel coming out that they're working on as well. So I am looking forward to that. Maybe that'll be less boring. Interesting that we have Warner Brothers Discovery posting a 9-9. $9.1 billion loss in quarter two.

They said, well, that's the linear TV network. So it was bringing us down. For $9 billion? Wow. Okay. And Paramount Global. Remember, they just announced that they were going to merger with Skydance Media? Yeah, but not for you, 15% of workforce.

No, this 15% of the workforce? Yeah, you are not going to be part of this whole thing because have a nice day. You didn't think you were going to stick around, did you? It's cute thinking on your part because you're not. All right, so here's hit the bricks. Wow. I mean, that's what the companies are losing. No, we're not laughing at them.

Stop it. That's mean. What are we even doing? The people are losing their jobs. I don't want that. Whoever laughed, knock it off. Knock it off. Don't, I will road rage against you bad laughing at people losing their jobs.

And I freaking, that's, ridiculous. And I see where good news. I'm going to give you this guy good news before we get out of here on this. Well, no, first let's talk about Disney Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN Plus. Yeah, they turned a profit for the first time. Yeah, because they're raising their prices through the roof. Let's see.

We're losing a billion dollars a quarter. That's what they were doing. Yeah. No kidding. Movies were a bright spot. Yeah, no kidding. Inside Out 2. You're funny that the movie they did the best for you wasn't a woke movie? So, this was a straight comedy, animated film. King Disney Kingdom as revenues of theme parks.

And let's see, they're pouring in resources, everything came in weaker than expected as a demand increase. Okay, so they're losing, and they lost subscribers to Disney Plus, but they're making that up in raising the prices. So I think they'll be fine. And I don't know that it matters, but I see where Snickers and Pringles, Mars is reportedly exploring an acquisition of Kelanova. That would be, you know, that's worth $27 billion behind Cheez-It's, pop-tarts, and Pringles.

So Mars will, you know, Snickers will bring in the cheese hits, the pop-tarts, and the Pringles under the Mars. Okay, you know, fine. Let's do that. but it's not skimp on the products, okay, bars. I expect you to take over at Kallanova and still make cheese, it's, pop tarts, and pringles just as good as they always have been, all right? I don't want any of your small snicker bars out there either.

Don't tell me that you haven't changed the size of them either. I love that story so much our president, who still actually our president, nobody realizes it yet, Joe Biden. It used to talk about how corporate greed, and that how, you know, the companies are making the products smaller and like Snickers bars. And Snickers is like, no, we haven't done that. So why don't you stop saying that, you old dufus? I may have added the old dufus.

Who died today?

Who died today? Well, let's begin with Gulf Legend, Chi-Chi Roderigis, died. at the age of 88 years, very sad, eight-time PGA tour winner, one of the most charismatic and beloved figures in pro-golf, Juan Cici Rodriguez, dead at the age of 88. He was first announced,

his death was first announced by Carmelo Javier Rios, a member of the Senate in Puerto Rico. The cause of death is not yet. been named. His death was also reported on the Puerto Rico Golf Association website. But how I remember Chi Chi Rodriguez, other than watching him on TV and being this really flamboyant golfer on the Greens, he was awesome, was from an old TV show called WKRP in Cincinnati. WKRP in Cincinnati, the newsman, Les Nessman reported on him as, Chi Chi Chai Radewegways

Good newsmen nowadays Have to have a style In order to stand out from the crowd Less You always had a real style Of your own How many newsmen call Chichie Rodriguez

Chai Rodegues To call the little Mexican dogs Chihuahuas That's style That's style right there That's good That's good And that's just WKRP in Cincinnati, which was, you know, living on the air in WKRP.

So rest and peace. Chai Chai Rite Waze, dead at the age of 88. Then we had a man who went by the name of Jack Carlson, dead at the age of 82. Now, I guess he had many names and he was, I just found this out about him as a matter of fact. He was a serial prison escaper, a small-time crook who shot to fame in 2009, after a news clip of his arrest at a Chinese restaurant in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley, was uploaded to the internet. This video is awesome.

So he's being arrested, like they said, out of a Chinese restaurant in Brisbane. And I just saw this video again the other day, and it makes the rounds ever so often going, you know, re-viraling itself. That's a term I just made up and you can use it. All right, you're welcome. It's just a re-viraling of videos. And that's what happens.

When things get posted, they go viral, and then they go away, and then they get posted again, and they go viral again. That's called re-viraling. And if somebody else uses that, that's mine. Okay? Re-viraling.

That's mine. All right, I'm just saying. All right, so this video is him, Jack Carlson, being arrested. The police have grabbing him. We're trying to get a look at the headlock. See that chap over there? This is the like who got me on the penis.

They're trying to get him into the police car. It's awesome. You know you, you know. It's not your hands off me. Tata! They're showing him in the police car now. Shut him up now. That is awesome.

So they just shut up. I mean, that's how I know of this Jack Carlson. That's how I know you're Jew too. Your judo well is awesome. So I want charge eating a meal, a succulent Chinese meal. So he was in jail several times in his life and he died surrounded by his family. Very sad. Jack Carlson at the age of 82.

Now, according to the family, he walked a full and colorful path. and despite the troubles thrown at him, he lived by his motto to keep laughing. Oh, that was his motto? Oh, that's sweet. His motto was arresting me for what? So he had a few attempts to escape and pulled his cords out a couple of times.

And let's see. He went before the judges. He battled many ailments, but what got him in the end was systemic inflammatory response syndrome. I'm against that. I just want to be clear about that. You can quote me on that.

I am against. systemic inflammatory response syndrome. I don't wish that on anyone. His final send-off, we gave him a last taste of red wine through his drip before it was removed. Wow, they pulled the plug on him.

We're going to give you a little wine in your drip and then, they're going to pull the plug on you. Sorry, Jack, we love you, but we can't have you around anymore, okay? So it was on his 82nd birth, the day after his 82nd birthday, or at least it was the most recent of the birth dates he claimed.

So I guess there's a filmmaker and a documentary going to be made about his life. I'm looking forward to seeing this. This is really good. His life was far from just a rollic. His boyhood was spent in institutions, rife with sexual predators and bullies, varied stints in Australia's most notorious jails,

included time in the Black Peter, solitary confinement of Bogo Road Jail, the cruelty of which was medieval when he was a teenager. A regular person who experienced his life would have passed away years ago, but Jack just had the zest for life that made you go, this guy's made of mercury. He just might live forever. And sadly, no one does.

And he goes on to talk. He was a senior sergeant in the then special weapons and operation squad. Then he got arrested. Why did he get arrested for that? Let's see through Valley on the now famous day that when the call came through for support in an arrest. Oh, the cop. Okay, I see. All right.

So he was still, there's a picture here of him and the police officer. The guy that he says, get your hands off my penis. That particular police officer, I guess they became friends. And he said that this cop was the only cop that he was ever wanted to be friends with. so they were together close to the end. There were many different versions of his wife. Anyway, fascinating guy. And I'll be looking forward to the documentary.

So rest in peace, Jack Carlson, if that is your name, dead at the age of 82. All right, a quick look at the Olympics. We're wrapping up this weekend, as I talked about earlier. So this weekend we'll have the closing ceremonies on Sunday afternoon. The final medal contest is women's basketball, I believe. So we'll get that. I still, you know, I want him to win gold, but I still mad at him for not getting Caitlin on the team, to be honest.

I still can't get that out of my craw. But I want him to win gold for us, the United States. So China just snuck back in front of us again with 31 golds. We have 30. So for sure we have the two basketball goals, which gets us more than China, 32 to 31. if it were to stay even right now. There's still a few other events left, so I'm hoping that we have,

we're crushing the metal count. We have 103 medals. 103 medals. No one's close to us. But we have, we're tied, well, China's in front now by one, with 31, and we have 30. We cannot let China beat us in gold.

I'm sorry, no. Just being the winners of the total medal count doesn't work. Okay, it doesn't work for. me. You haven't asked me, but I'm telling you, it doesn't work for me, okay? I'm hoping that the closing ceremonies will have

the Tom Cruise segment there in France and Hollywood, so I'm hoping we get both of those. Tom grabbing the flame and, you know, who knows, rocketing into space and then coming down and landing in Hollywood with the flame. Be awesome. When he was there, he was there for a lot of the

ceremonies we saw Tom sneaking around at these other events, so he's definitely I think that rumor is probably true, but they have not confirmed that. So we'll see. They're right up about the closing ceremonies. It was fascinating. They said organizers have remained tight-lipped

about who was appearing. But film star Tom Cruise is heavily rumored to be taking part of sailing down the stadium. Yeah, we know. Okay, so let's tell us that's what's going to happen. There will be a segment during which Paris hands over the next host. of the Summer Olympics, Los Angeles, 2028.

And that could be where the Hollywood star features. You think? Is that possible? Will you be my friend? And it will also feature performers, dancers, and circus artists, taking part alongside famous headlining acts, both French and American. Snoop Dogg, who has been a prominent,

yeah, I mean, NBC is thanking him for the ratings. He's set to perform as our French artist, Air and Phoenix. And, man, you can't tear me away from Air and Phoenix from France. I love them. Artistic director Thomas Jolly said the show was called Records, and it promises to take the audience on a science fiction dream, like immersive journey through time. That will begin from the origins of the Olympic Games

and will go to a dystopian future when the Olympics have disappeared and must be reinvented. So I hope they got that all worked out since they took such a hit on the opening ceremonies. But, you know, hopefully we have that to look forward to. And I am looking forward to it. And we have, and then we saw our boy, uh, Noah Liles, uh, who won the 100 meters. He took third place yesterday, but he took the third place because he had COVID. So, uh, I mean, they're all hugging and kissing and breathing on each other.

They're all going to come home with the Frenchy French COVID. And, uh, we need to just lock them down for a few days. And we got to lock them down anyway because we don't want any of the Paris bedbugs coming back into the United States. So just lock it all down. And I didn't know. I'd forgotten. Maybe I did. I remembered hearing it, I think.

But anyway, Colin Jost, you know, from Saturday Night Live, was apparently doing the correspondent in Tahiti. And I didn't realize, I haven't caught any of the actual Tahiti events, the surfboarding, because that's where that's a French Polynesian island. One of their French territories. I guess we're okay with that because it's the Frenchy French. It would be okay if it was the United States territory. But it's over, but I, never mind.

I'll stop. I'll stop. But anyway, it's French, you know, so they're doing all the surfboards there. It's like 10,000 miles away from France. But that's where they're doing it. So they have cameras there. I did see where one of the big shots of the Tahiti surfboard events was a whale breaching while they were surfboarding, which is really cool.

Really cool. No question. But anyway, he is, was the correspondent for NBC in Tahiti. And he sustained a foot injury resulting in a staff infection. So he's not. He's not announcing anymore. What a wimp. You got a little owie on your foot.

You can't announce for us? Those things could last forever, man. Really bad. Really bad with those infections. And you definitely have to take care of those. I'll be getting it taken care of because I'm going back to the United States of America out of this French-Frenchy French territory.

And I'm going to be getting it taken care of. Yeah, no problem. So good luck to Colin Jones. And there was some great. Olympic stories throughout this entire Olympics. And I'll kind of break down some headlines next week that were, you know, really, really good. But my favorite story, I think, so far, if you were to ask me today, hey, what's your favorite Olympic story?

It would be that the Olympic flame isn't actually fire. When I found that out, I was actually shocked. So the Olympic flame that, you know, gets every night got sucked up into the sky with the balloon that they lit up. and that was the Olympic flame, is it actually fire? And I think this is the first time that the ring of fire isn't actually burning.

It's an illusion made up of clouds of mist and beams of light, which is just, you know, it's a cool idea, and I get it, it's the hot air balloon. And we couldn't want it to create an Olympic cauldron that would be as open, visible, and generous as possible. Uh-huh.

But it was a balloon. We couldn't actually use real fire. So it's a make-believe fire in France And that really That really kind of That took me back a little bit Because I was like wait It's not real fire

Because that's why I was hoping That the balloon would blow up During the opening ceremony And now I know why it didn't Because it's not real fire Boating for flight 246 to Toronto Is delayed 50 minutes What?
