Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Okay, this story is going to make me have to boycott Buckees. And I don't want to, but I'm going to have to.
Starting point is 00:00:28 I'm a fan of Buckees. have been a fan of Buckees. We've talked about them on this show, about where the biggest Buckees is, is it in Nashville, is it in Texas, is it in Florida? Everybody's trying to outdo each other
Starting point is 00:00:42 for the biggest Buckees. And we've also talked about how, you know, Buckees doesn't sell diesel gas, so they don't want semi-trucks and trailers there for, you know, gas products. But I've also talked about on this show how, you know, if you're a trucker,
Starting point is 00:01:00 no one supports truckers more than me and this show, chewing the fat, and have for years. And I was like, well, you know, you can still go there. You just don't plan on getting any gas. Well, maybe that's not the case. And if that's not the case, then we're going to have to boycott Buckees. A couple in Ohio, Liberty City, Ohio, a little just north of Cincinnati.
Starting point is 00:01:29 If my hand is Ohio, Liberty City's right there. And they say that they went to Bucky's location in Baytown, Texas. They're full-time truckers. And that they had just dropped off the trailer, so it was just the tractor. And they posted a picture of their semi-tractor in Buckees taking up just two parking spaces. you know, without the trailer.
Starting point is 00:01:58 And they had never been to a Buckees before. So they were, they parked and they went in the store. And of course, it's amazing. Buckies is beautiful. I mean, it's a fascinating store. You know, the wall of drinks. It's a fascinating place. And it's tough to go in there just to use the bathrooms.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Although some would say that I have before without purchasing anything. But, you know, normally you get gas. everybody gets their picture taken with the beaver out front. I mean, you have to. It's just, that's a law. That's a law. So I'm going to have to post a picture of me with the Buckees Beaver and a giant X now. It's going to have to boycott the Buckees.
Starting point is 00:02:44 In fact, that's probably the show post today. Because this couple, they were wandering around. They had items in their hands that they were going to purchase. and an employee came up and said, is that your truck in the parking lot? Well, yes, you're not allowed to purchase anything here. You have to leave now. What?
Starting point is 00:03:12 That can't be. That cannot be true. I mean, I believe this couple. I said, that can't be real. That had to be just a manager out of his mind, right? I mean, that just can't happen. out of Buckees. So you're trying to have the Buckees experience, and you can't do it.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Now, there's no overnight parking. Obviously, there's been stories where truckers have pulled in and parked way in the back, and they're asked to leave. And look, I understand that. But to not be able to pull in even just a tractor and trailer, but let alone just the tractor and not shop at the store, that's insane and Buckees that can't stand I know that they have display signs that say no 18 wheelers
Starting point is 00:04:06 but that can't stand you can't turn down customers like that in today's world no I'm sorry no now they claim they claim that the policy is in place because their parking lots are not built for huge trucks just for passenger vehicles. Now, I've been to multiple monkeys in this nation, and the parking lots are huge. Not only do they have 8,000 gas tanks,
Starting point is 00:04:41 the parking lots are huge. And I have seen buses pull in. I don't know if you know this. Buses are just as big as semi-tractor and trailers. So which is it, Buckees? You want the business or you don't want the business? I, that hurts. That hurts.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So I'm all for a good crime. Trust me. I love a good crime. But this guy in Maine, who was a great scam, actually, he was swapping price tags on items at home. Depot, pricey tools, stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:05:29 And he would take the cheaper, would take the item up to the self-checkout and check himself out, right? So he was paying, he was scanning like between a dollar and $37.50 on items that were like $90,000, $1,000. I mean, that's a good plan. That's a good plan. And his scheme, he did it for years. He did it for years.
Starting point is 00:05:54 And then he would sell the items at, you know, a cheaper. price. And what a, I mean, that's a, what a great way to make some money, you know, tag swapping. Beautiful. And so, they got him, though, because they figured it out and he was paying with his credit cards. So now he's been charged with wire fraud and attempted wire fraud. Okay. Come on now. Now you're, you know, up to me. Stop it. But, okay. You got them for that. All right. So his purchases included, you know, all kinds of stuff from the stores.
Starting point is 00:06:34 So federal investigator, you know, vacuums, chainsaws, nail guns, leaf blowers, whatever, whatever you're getting at Home Depot. And federal investigators looked into the case and they were using security cameras and they tracked everything and that's how they busted him. And so he was charged with felony theft and wire fraud and he pled guilty. they gave him three years in prison and he had three years probation as well as paying a fee of four thousand over a little over four thousand dollars in restitution so he was released in march all right so he already did the scam it's been three years did his time he's still on probation though but he did his time and he was released in march so then he went back to the same home depot and started doing it again.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Okay, so you got to come up. He's at three years in jail. Maybe you come up with a new plan. A new way. Maybe you go to a different store. I don't know. Maybe you choose a different store. So the employees apparently were prepared for him this time,
Starting point is 00:07:43 and he was arrested, and now he's being held without bail. And he could spend 20 years in prison and a larger fine. So, dude, what are you doing? had a great plan. Obviously, it wasn't that great because you did get caught. But you got caught once. And they slapped your hand.
Starting point is 00:08:05 You paid them off. You did your time. You got to come up with a new plan. Instead going back to doing the same thing. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. Disappointing. Speaking of disappointing are cities, you know, like, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:08:20 Baltimore, Baltimore, Cleveland, St. Louis, Seattle. These are cities that are suing car manufacturers like Kia and Hyundai for creating a public nuisance by making cars that can be
Starting point is 00:08:43 easily stolen. How about you just stop the crime? How about we just do that in your cities? So Hyundai and Kia's decision to put cost savings and profits over public safety has had significant consequences for Baltimore and its residents as it has in other cities. Car thefts in the city have nearly doubled this year compared to the same time last year after, well, they're blaming it on the TikTok thread. Tread. Tick-Tick-Tock. So they're blaming it on the.
Starting point is 00:09:23 TikTok trend or, you know, viral videos of how to steal the cars. I had a Joe Biden moment. Oh, that's plumbing there for a second. And I just lost where the heck, why, why you call something a trend? I don't understand. Anyway, so they're blaming it on, they're blaming it on TikTok and the car manufacturers, not the city themselves for protecting the owners of the automobiles to keep crime down. So just be ready.
Starting point is 00:09:54 It's the car manufacturer's fault. It's the gun manufacturer's fault. It's the pencil manufacturer's fault that my kid can't get the test right. We live in amazing times. We live in amazing, amazing times. Now, a prosecutor said that the software updates that the company has done, and according to this, I guess Hyundai and Kia have tried to play nice and updated their software so that their cars couldn't be stolen as easily as they were being stolen
Starting point is 00:10:30 thanks to the TikTok trend, thread viral videos. So they've tried to play along and say that they, you know, they've helped out. Guess what? It's never enough. It's never enough. So now what? I don't know what they want these companies to do. I know that in Baltimore and Maryland
Starting point is 00:10:57 They are talking about they want the car manufacturers To recall the cars Because they're too easily stolen No How about that? How about no We'll just leave it at that How about no
Starting point is 00:11:16 And I see where New York is shipping the Climate Refugees G's that are being sent from Texas to New York off to neighboring counties because they want to get them out of the city they can't afford to keep them there. But I see a story that says 26, now in New York City, 26 Empire State Buildings is the equivalent of empty office space in New York right now. All right. So the equivalent of empty office space in New York, 26 Empire State buildings, 74.6 million square feet of empty office space in NYC.
Starting point is 00:12:02 I don't know why we just don't have the immigrants stay there. What are we doing? Got plenty of room. No reason to ship them out. You're welcome. I mean, I know that we've had researchers try to say that what, NYC and other large American cities need to do is make drastic changes to their zoning laws to adapt with the work from home era. The ultimate goal should be to become a playground city where people live, work, and play all in the same neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Well, they won't be able to drive because these same cities are suing the automobile companies and telling them they have to recall their cars because, they've made themselves too easy to be stolen. Yeah, what we want to do is move all the people into one area so we can easily rob them there. That's a great idea. Ugh, this can't freaking take it. Be sure to follow me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR. Oh, I'm speaking of that, I see where Elon has said
Starting point is 00:13:06 that he's going to step back as boss of Twitter in six weeks. Apparently, he's hired a girl to do his job. Okay. Now, Elon didn't say who it was going to be, but we've done some internet sleuthing, and they claim that it's going to be the NBC Universal advertising figure, Linda Y-K-R-N-R-N-O-Y-A-R-R-R-R-N-O, yeah, A-M-O-A-R-A-R-N-O, Y-A-C-C-A-R-N-O, Y-A-C-R-R-N-O, so good luck to her, if that's her gig, for Twitter, Elon hiring a a girl. He said that
Starting point is 00:13:48 she's going to begin her job in about six weeks and that he is going to step back and still, you know, obviously be in charge, but not be in charge. And the Tesla world was
Starting point is 00:14:04 all happy. They were like, yay, we're getting Elon back. So we'll see how that works out. And of course, you can follow me on Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. And you can always email the show Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. Let's go to the break room.
Starting point is 00:14:22 I need something cold to drink desperately. So this week in Sweden, Beyonce returned to the stage solo for the first time in seven years to start her 56-stop Renaissance world tour. Yay! Don't worry about it, though. the average ticket is about 700 bucks so you're getting in that's fine i don't worry about it so the race for the billion dollar tour is on okay so you've got biontie out there you've got taylor swift out there and they're saying that no one has done the billion dollar tour yet honestly you know on a single tour elton is still doing his retirement concert
Starting point is 00:15:20 which is, I think it's been the last 25 years. He's never going to retire. He said, he told hubby, he told the kids, yeah, I want to spend time with you. I do. But I got this farewell tour to do. And the farewell tour right now is going to take about 20 years. Right. Think about it.
Starting point is 00:15:43 And so we'll see what happens. But right now, that Yellow Brick Road farewell tour, is grossed over 800 million. Not a billion yet, though. So he could probably, you know, he probably will get there. So you've got, I mean, now we have Springsteen, Madonna coming up, Drake coming up. I don't know that any of those can get to the billion dollar tour,
Starting point is 00:16:06 no way. But Taylor and Beyonce, that could happen. So you got Taylor, Beyonce, and Elton really fighting over for the single tour of the, you know, the billion dollar mark. And with Elton touring for the next 20, years on the single tour, I think he'll win. So we talked about Bob Duchero having his new baby at 73. But then I was looking at, I mean, this guys, come on.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Robert De Niro, really, having a new kid. Is that really happening in life? But it is. But I was looking at some of the other, you know, stars that have been in that age bracket or close that have been having kids. you've got, you know, George Clooney in his 50s, I think, maybe a 60s just had a kid.
Starting point is 00:16:56 For sure, you know, you've got Alec Baldwin, you've got Mick and Jet. Oh, that's right. You've got my man, Mr. Baldwin, who's been having kids forever, and he's, Alec is, no, okay, I didn't even get to Baldwin. It was just, it was just, it should have been,
Starting point is 00:17:15 actually, it should have just been the gun cocking. Yes. I hadn't even got there yet. I mean, those are the rules. Anyway, I'll got to see how old Alec is. I know, I got it. So he's 66 now, Mr. Baldwin. And then we had Jagger, who had a kid at 73.
Starting point is 00:17:37 All right? Rupert Murdoch had twins at 72. Ooh. Tony Randall, he had that kid when he was 78. Remember he having that kid of 78? Oh, man. Holy cow. And didn't one of the other stones had twins too?
Starting point is 00:17:54 Yeah, Ronnie Wood had twins. And he was, well, he was only 69 at the time. This was 2016. So those kids are practically grown up now. And he's back on, he's done a couple of tours since then. So, yeah, I love him and everything, but I got to go on tour. So that's kind of the Elton John thing. That's the Jagger thing.
Starting point is 00:18:15 That's the Alec Baldwin thing. Yeah, I got to go make a movie. Didn't you just shoot somebody on set? That doesn't matter. I got to go make a movie. I got to get out of here. So, I mean, it's easy. It's easy for these guys to have the kids because they don't take care of them.
Starting point is 00:18:33 All right. So if you're an every day, 78-year-old, good luck. God bless. I need some new shows to watch, too. I mean, Succession is almost over. And that's their final, this is their final season. Perry Mason ended Season 2
Starting point is 00:18:51 Rabbit Hole ended Paramount Plus Fatal attraction is still going And those were already in the can Before the writer's strike So I'll get to the end of that Night Agent on Netflix I'm done with
Starting point is 00:19:03 I guess I could sit through it again The Diplomat was really good on Netflix I could sit through that again I guess I guess I'm told that Taylor is supposed to be really good on Netflix It's a, I mean, I'm going to watch it just because I'm going to watch it.
Starting point is 00:19:22 But it's everything to know about the Turkish drama based on a true story. You're not winning me over with that. It's a Turkish drama based on a true story. But, you know, we'll give it a shot. But I need some new shows. And the writers, let's go. What are we doing? Make a deal.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Don't sell out. I mean, more so studios. How about you make a deal with the writers? Let's get these people back working, okay? Let's make a deal, let's go. I saw where Disney is now trimming some more streaming losses. Oh, isn't that special? Huh.
Starting point is 00:19:59 I thought they were doing so great. So they increased the price, which they claim significantly helped reduce the losses. Yeah, you think it's funny how that works, but for how long. so they say that they lost in their streaming services last quarter okay so they claim they lost 4 million subscribers that's not too good for the old streaming service and so they claim more additional price hikes are coming but they you're going to have Disney Plus on Hulu now
Starting point is 00:20:36 and so they've charged more money at the theme park So, you know, Iger's kind of got him turned around. He's ready to walk away again pretty soon. So we'll see what happens with Disney and all that. You know, the streaming prices have got to be adjusted somehow. I mean, there's only so many apps I can subscribe to and pay for. There's only so many. And every time I think, well, that's enough.
Starting point is 00:21:03 I don't have any more. Well, there is more. And so, plus the other app that I need, because I just got rid of YouTube TV. and I'm on Hulu live now along with the Hulu plan with HBO and there's and they I think Disney is part of that Disney Plus is part of that deal yeah you can tell I was a big part of the the collaboration about doing that I was told at the house
Starting point is 00:21:30 yeah we're going to get rid of YouTube TV we're going to get Hulu I'm going to get all this and it's going to save us money okay but is it really though because now I got to get AMC plus because we got Walking Dead back up and running. We got Fear, the final season, and Fear Will the Walking Dead starts this week, by the way. So starting Monday, you're going to get a new Talking Walking Dead with myself, Jason Butchrell, and my son Maximus,
Starting point is 00:21:55 as we talk about Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead's new season. Plus, we've got Dead City starting up again with, that'll be great. That's coming up really soon, too. So there's some new shows to watch. Never mind. I've got a few things to watch. It'll be okay. It'll be all right.
Starting point is 00:22:11 But some of the network shows that I watch, they're going to be going away because there's a new writers. So there's only so many replays, reruns I can watch. Okay. So let's make this deal with the writers and make it work. And, oh my gosh, Peloton is doing another recall. 2.2 million bikes are being recalled. Another recall from Peloton.
Starting point is 00:22:41 If you had purchased a bike between January of 2018 and May of 2023, just those years, though, only the years that they've been huge. You know, if you were one to get one back in the 50s, that one's fine. But just in the five years from 2018 to 2023, you know, when they all sold, you need to stop using it immediately and contact Peloton for a free. repair. Why? What can happen? Well, the bike's seat post can break. All right, so I'm just saying, as a bike rider from time to time in my life, when the seat post breaks, that tends to not be good. That tends to not be good. That's just me, though. So maybe that's why there's a recall. Good for them.
Starting point is 00:23:37 We have a question in the back of the room. This was just in our class. So doesn't specifically relate to Peloton. I'm just curious, when was the last time you, Jeff Fisher, actually rode on any bicycle whatsoever? Not that long ago. Really? Not that long ago. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:58 How long is that? That's the closest date you're getting. Speaking of bike poles breaking and what could happen to you if that bike seat pole breaks. I see a story that, you know, I want to believe it because it's a great story, but I don't know that it's actually real. I mean, it's a good advice to take with you, but I don't know that it's real. So the story is never wear a butt plug to your MRI appointment. Okay, so, and I would say that that is good advice. You don't want that, especially because you're not supposed to have any metal with you at an
Starting point is 00:24:40 MRI. Everyone knows that. Bad things happen when you have metal in you, on you during an MRI. But this story talks about a person who's suing a sex toy company because the client purchased
Starting point is 00:24:55 the butt plug that was advertised at 100% silicone. So the client wears the butt plug to the MRI employment. I mean, who about us? Right? I mean, look, today's my day to wear my butt plug, okay? I know I'm having an MRI, but today's my day.
Starting point is 00:25:17 But according to this, the plug had a metal core in it. Ooh, that is not good. So it accelerated through the body into the chest cavity, And it was described as an anal rail gun. That's what they describe it as, not me. Don't look at me. I'm just telling you what they describe it as. So I, you know, I want to believe this.
Starting point is 00:25:54 I do believe that it's good advice. If you, perhaps even if it is your butt plug day, maybe if you're getting an MRI, you take the day off. And you don't wear it. it's always good to make sure that something is as advertised. If you purchased it and it was supposed to be 100% silicone, make sure it is 100% silicone. But I feel like the story just isn't real.
Starting point is 00:26:22 You know, it's just one of those stories that, well, I had a patient that had a butt plug stuck in them during an MRI. And they're still alive. They survived, but it was an ugly time there for a little while. was it though? Was it? I don't even know I mean, that person is lucky to be alive.
Starting point is 00:26:46 First of all, if it's real, you're lucky to be alive. How do you know that that was the case? Right? Did you say, I don't have any muddle in my body, but today's my butt plug day. So did you write that on the paperwork so that they knew so that as soon as you started screaming and hollering in the middle of the MRI?
Starting point is 00:27:03 You do it. you doing okay in there? I mean, I hate those MRI machines so much. I just, oh, they're so bad. Even the open ones are so bad. Because, I mean, the last MRI I had was for my shoulder. So I had to go in the tube. And first of all, it's a tight squeeze.
Starting point is 00:27:32 as a tight squeeze and so I mean I am in there and that ceiling is right there up against your face and all right you're okay in there
Starting point is 00:27:42 we're going to get this thing starts only going to take a couple of minutes that's my MRI machine sound effect and I mean when the machine's going it's better than you just sit
Starting point is 00:27:54 in there and it stops and it's like and you're like oh and then you realize you're back in the tube again and I start I mean Toward the end, I mean, I am beginning to freak out.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Are you doing okay on there, Jeff? Looks like you're moving around. Yeah, you need to get me the hell out of here is what needs to happen. Like now. I want to hear this thing sliding out of here. This is what I want to hear. Oh, I just got one more. You'd be fine.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I just got one more a little. We'll just do it right now. Don't move. I mean, holy cow. By the end, I am freaked out. But thankfully, it wasn't my butt plug day. So who died today? Who died today?
Starting point is 00:28:55 Kenneth? Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Hey, I won! Boarding will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating. 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concern by your gambling or that if someone close you, call 1-86653310 or visit Comexontera.ca. Igano. Kenneth Igano, the Filipino bantamweight boxer, passed away at the age of 22.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Now, I know what you're thinking. No, it wasn't that. Okay? I know you like to think that all the time. Every time I mention a young person just passing away. They, that's what you think right away. So it's not that, all right? We don't, actually, we don't know what it was.
Starting point is 00:29:53 And we know that he died four days after his eight round win at the IMS sports gymnasium. So it was either the boxing or what you're thinking, but I'm guessing it was the boxing. So Kenneth Egano. And I love saying the word bantam weight, the bantam weight boxer dead at 22. I see who the NFL released its upcoming schedule too for the season. Nice. Really nice. We're going to have, there's going to be some great games.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Look, you're going to have games all over the holidays. Black Friday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve. It's going to be awesome. Plus, they've got, I think we've got five games in Europe this year. It'll be a lot of fun. And a little known fact that I was kind of surprised about. The jets are playing Kansas City. The New York Jets are playing Kansas City this year.
Starting point is 00:30:57 So that would be Aaron Rogers up against Patrick Mahomes. That's the first time that Aaron Rogers or Patrick Mahomes has gone up against Aaron Rogers. Or Aaron Rogers has gone up against Patrick Mahomes. Now, because KC. was in Green Bay. I think a couple years ago, and Aaron was out COVID protocols. And so Love was playing Kansas City in Green Bay at the time. So it's just a little fun NFL fact for you.
Starting point is 00:31:29 You'll probably hear that on the broadcast. If not, you heard it here first, okay? Just letting you know. I could talk sports with you all day. The schedule, I'd love to sit down and just go over the schedule, the whole damn schedule. But I won't. I won't.
Starting point is 00:31:45 I will say, though, that I see where Tom Brady has been announced that he's in discussions to put some money into the Las Vegas Raiders. The Las Vegas Raiders. Because he owns part of the basketball team, right? I think he does. I think he owns part of the Vegas basketball team. I don't know. It says that in this story or not.
Starting point is 00:32:05 But good for Tom. Although, if he buys into the NFL, does that hurt his Fox deal to broadcast NFL games? I don't know. I don't know what their deal is or how they make it, but it's really weird. That's why I was thinking that Amazon doesn't, why Bezos didn't try to buy an NFL team.
Starting point is 00:32:32 I feel like he's got more interest in the NFL, the broadcasting of the games. There's no reason for him to purchase. a team to get in there, which I thought he probably should just buy the Washington Redskins, commanders, and be the owner. Although, I wonder if Amazon will get the, I wonder if Amazon will get the right to broadcast all the European games. I was thinking about that. Amazon could be the exclusive broadcaster of the European League, which will be coming in about a year or so.
Starting point is 00:33:13 I pretty much count on that. We've got five games this year. Next year, let's just do a whole division. I will just do a whole division in Europe. And Amazon, you go ahead, broadcast them all. It's all on you. So that could be coming very, very soon.
Starting point is 00:33:32 But I have not been involved in any of those negotiations. So how do I know? We also have another story. of a man getting out of prison after a long stay of being innocent. In Louisiana, after spending 29 years in prison for the rape of a six-year-old stepdaughter, of his six-year-old stepdaughter, who wrote more than 100 letters arguing for his innocence, said he didn't do it. the girl, the stepdaughter.
Starting point is 00:34:08 He was in prison for 29 years. He's now free. He was convicted in 1994. Wow. So, just amazing. He was wrongfully, I should say, wrongly convicted of raping a six-year-old stepdaughter in 1994. And he's free now. The testimony of the little girl, they never heard.
Starting point is 00:34:33 It was all what people said. People said, yeah, the little girl told them he did it. And she said all along, no, no, I didn't. No, it wasn't him. And they never put her on the stand. They never did. They just brushed it under the pile. And he goes off to prison for 29 years.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Wow. Just incredible. Now, she's written hundreds of letters for his innocence. he and she both said, you know, hey, thanks for hearing me.

Starting point is 00:36:32 so he's only going to get 250,000, I would hope that it would be more than that. But he better get at least that. At least that. Holy cow. I mean, just as a, yeah, you're free now. Good luck, God bless. Take care.
