Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher Those of you that use the Starbucks app to order, I have some sad news for you. They're changing some of the rules to the ordering of Starbucks, you know, through the app.

They're reducing the limit of items allowed per order. You can now only get 12 instead of 15. and apparently according to the CEO Brian Nicol, I think it's Nichols, NICC-O-L-S, Mr. Big Shot, Mr. Moneymaker, he claims that these mobile orders have chipped away at the company's soul. And they're also going to outlaw a splash of milk or lemonade to the refresher drink and ordering a cafe Americana without water. Yeah. So that'll teach you to try to order that on the app. Okay? And apparently these complicated orders are just a nightmare for baristas. I don't want them doing their job. I don't want them. I don't want that to happen. So because it's such a nightmare, it's led to delays and unhappy customers. More changes are coming. According to Starbucks, he's going to cut 30% off its menu by September to simply to be.

better simplify things for you. And of course, the baristas. So just be prepared. When you go in and you want to, you've been used to ordering 15 cups of coffee off the app, no longer. Only 12. And don't even think about getting that splash of milk or lemonade

in your refresher drink. Okay? That's not happening. Now, I think you could order that when you're in line at the actual store. You just can't do it over the app. So you may have to just, go in and

Lord knows we don't want that welcome welcome to chewing the fat hopefully by the time this show reaches you these people have been found but authorities are frantically

searching for an airplane carrying 10 people and it's just missing and it just went off we don't know what happened to it it's just missing was on its way to gnome Alaska

a bearing air flight from Uniclite, a U-N-A-L-A-K-L-A-K-L-E-E-T. It's beautiful this time of year. Flying from Unicl to Nome was scheduled to arrive and it didn't. So they're busy looking for it. It just disappeared off the face of the earth. And they don't know what happened to it.

We've got search and rescue crews looking for it. The National Transportation Safety Board are working to identify the plane's last known coordinates, which they have. And there were nine passengers and one pilot aboard. They think, oh, it could possibly be adverse weather and visibility problems. In Uniquita, Alaska, stop it. I won't hear of it. So they're busy looking for it. I will say this.

We're, they're forming, you know, they're asking individuals not to form search parties at this time due to the extreme weather. And so we're just, we've got, we're out there, the Coast Guard is out there, and they're engaged in the search for the gnome bound plane. They don't, you don't need to get a search party together yourself. And I want you to know that, uh, it is not missing. Okay. I, I misled you.

It's just overdue. So we don't know what happened. to it, it took off, and then it disappeared. So we just know that it's overdue. It's not missing. It's just overdue. So hopefully by the time, you know, this reaches you, the story reaches you, we've found them.

And everything's fine. Everything's fine. But it doesn't seem that way. You know what else is missing? and, well, I should say, you know what else is overdue to arriving is the heist of 100,000 eggs in Pennsylvania. And the police are like, well, we're just trying to figure out

what happened. 100,000 eggs. Back of a trailer in Pennsylvania, and they don't have any idea where it went, where, who took it, it's just gone. So the police said, well, we're relying on leads from people from the community. And so we're hoping that somebody knows something.

So they're following up on any possible witnesses looking into surveillance footage that could help them identify the perpetrator as they race. Race, damn it, I tell you. That's what they're doing. They're racing to solve this mystery. I haven't heard anybody stealing 100,000 eggs before.

Yeah, no kidding. Thank you, Pennsylvania State Trooper, first class Megan Frazier. It's, times are tough. Eggs are high priced. And guess what? People are stealing them and selling eggs on the black market, baby. So, I mean, the average price of eggs are at least $4 or $5 a dozen, maybe.

And they're more than that really wholesale. So they were snatched from the back of Pete and Jerry's Organics Distribution Center. So, man, Pete and Jerry's organic's distribution center. Organics had 100,000 eggs sitting in a trailer, uh, that's worth some money. Uh, that's worth some money. And they were just taken. Poof. Uh, somebody took the trailer. Uh, so they claim that they're worth about $40,000. Now that's, you know, put it on the black market. You're going to get what, maybe 20, 30.

But you just take one trailer full of eggs, you know, for a quick 20,000. That's not bad. That's not bad. That's not bad at. I'll give you the trailer. Give me 20,000 cash. I'm out. And you do whatever you need to do. You sell them at whatever flea market, whatever grocery store wants to buy them separately. You get whatever you can for them. But right now, the trailer that I've got with 100,000 eggs from Pete and Jerry's Organics LLC, you get for 20 grand. And I'm out here. That's not a bad deal.

That's not a bad deal. Yeah, that's a good deal. Plenty of truckers in America. And nobody supports truckers more than this show or myself. but there's plenty of truckers driving around without a trailer that would think you know for 20 grand I'm just going to back up take the egg trailer

and zip it down the road baby so good luck in your investigation their trooper first class Megan Frazier from the Pennsylvania State Police Department but I think those eggs are long gone

and you know what's to stick with crime because crime it's a crime ridden country things are you know looking better now, but it's still ongoing. The wife of Steph Curry, the basketball player in San Francisco and Oakland

is where the team plays at Golden State Warriors. She's closing her store. She had a store called Sweet July's in Oakland, and where she, you know, she sold

home goods and products from black-owned brands and Bay Area-based artist, as well as coffee and pastries. So she just had a little shop to go to and open up, and the gals could come in and chit-chat and drink some coffee and have some pastries and look at some new fashions. You know, it was all kind of a cool thing. And it's a little get-together.

And, you know, like Aisha, did it matter if she made money? Not really. Steph's doing okay. Steph's making a little bit of money. I'm not sure what his latest contract was, but he's doing okay. and so you only have a couple days left because she's closing down. She's closing the shop down. I know.

I didn't think it would happen either, but it is. The ninth, Super Bowl Sunday, last day. I'm guessing she may not be there, or maybe they're all just going to gather there and watch the Super Bowl at Sweet July's and, you know, close it up. But they're closing in order to prioritize the safety of customers. customers and workers. So maybe it will open up again in another community that's safer,

but it's not going to be in Oakland any longer because we would love Oakland. Don't get us wrong. We love Oakland. And we want to thank the community because the community has opened their arms. Yeah. Yeah, they've opened their arms and they've stolen all your crap. so they're shutting down and

you know they've had break-ins and people are getting robbed so maybe she needs to be armed but it is California so it's better probably just to shut it down and let's go ahead and let's call it quits honey you know you want this little shop

and everything's fine but just it's okay you don't need to run the shop okay we're fine we're fine living in our gated community with our guards and you don't need to have a shop in Oakland, okay?

I know, baby, I know. Just have the girls over for pastries here at the house, okay? All right, I love you too. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here. Introducing the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus powered by Peloton IQ.

This is especially true when you're planning to buy or sell a home. It's really complicated. It takes a lot of time and a lot of jumping through hoops. And of course, the stakes are just about as high as they ever get in terms of financial decisions that you make. So obviously, you need a real estate agent to help you with all of this. But you don't want just some ordinary agent who does this on the side. You want the best.

And that's where real estate agents I trust comes in. Real estate agents I trust pairs you with the top selling real estate agent in your area. This is someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer. Someone you can trust. If you're thinking about buying or selling a home or both, please get in touch with them. You'll see what I mean.

Real estate agents I trust. I mean, the name pretty much says it all. Go to real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust. Dot com. So all known human languages display a surprising pattern and the most frequent word in a language is twice as frequent as the second most frequent, three times as frequent as the third. and so on. It's known as

Ziff's Law. Duh. Wait, you don't know Ziff's Law? Well, it's an empirical law stating that when a list of measured values is sorted in decreasing order, the value of the nth entry is often approximately inversely proportional

to N. Duh. I mean, but I got to explain everything to you? So anyway, researchers have hunted for evidence of this pattern in communication among other species, but until now, no other examples have been found. But new research, published today in science, which I love, our team of experts in whale song linguistics and developmental psychology analyzed eight years of song recordings from humpback whales.

Wow. How much fun are you having when you spend eight years listening to whale songs? Holy come. That sounds like fun to me. We discovered that the same Zipfian pattern universally found across human languages also occurs in Whale Song.

This complex signaling system like human language is culturally learned by each individual from others, like learning from an infant. So in this story, they both, you know, they talk about the reoccurring parts

where the transitions between elements are more predictable within the part, But moreover, these reoccurring sub-sequences were detected, follow the Zipfian frequency distribution found across all human languages, and not found before in other species. Then I was listening to this song that was recorded in 2017. It was a whale song. And it revealed statistical structures similar to those found in human language.

So they've been studying this for eight years. Back in 2017, they had the music right in front of them. They had the whale song singing. He was performing at the whale coliseum and they had it right in front of him and took him this long to figure out that it was reoccurring. All right, so here's the beautiful whale song

that was performed at the whale coliseum way back in 2017. Oh, yeah. Come on. Oh, yeah. Oh. Oh. Shouldn't have eaten that.

Oh. Oh. Oh. I like that. I like that. Hasn't been repeating. Zilf's law. I love it. I love it. Man, I'm going to be humming that and singing that all weekend long, man. the whale song from 2017. But I will say that in the documentary Down Periscope,

a movie, a submarine movie with Kelsey Grammer. And probably one of the, I mean, when you list greatest sub-movies, normally Down Periscope doesn't make the list. It makes my list. I'll tell you that. I know everybody, what about Das Boot? No, Down Periscope. But really, the...

The two best, well, the three best sub-movies, hunt for Red October, Crimson Tide, down Periscope. You know, classic, classic movies. Crimson Tide is awesome. Really, really good movie. Anyway, they are, of course, are hiding from the military. The military is trying to find them. And they're stuck on the bottom of the ocean.

And the military hears them. but what they use the guy's name Harlan Williams is the comedian I think and I don't remember his name on in Down Periscope Gosh darn it So Harlan plays the guy

That's called Sonar And he has been recording whales singing In the ocean And Kelsey wants him to pretend to be a whale So that it throws off the military the military thinks that it's not a sub that they heard, but it's whales.

And so he does his imitation of whales talking to each other. See? Pretty close. Is it a biologic? Sounds like a whale. Right? Must be a whale that's moving around. Now it sounds like there's two of them. That is so good.

I mean, it's just like our whale songs. Heck with it, false alarm. Yeah, that's that. And it fooled them. It fooled the military. Yes. So it's done. Anyway, that, so, I mean,

Dowd Periscope is really darn near documentary now on whale songs. And that's just the way it is. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So tonight, if you're listening live, the 7th of February, 2025, you have an opportunity to watch the Critics Choice Awards, which has been postponed, and tonight's the night that they rescheduled it.

So it's the 30th annual Critics Choice Awards. It's going to be televised on E-network at 7 p.m. Eastern. And the ceremony will be available to stream on Peacock, you know, tomorrow, over the weekend. So if you missed it, if you're listening to this show now, not live, and you think, oh, darn! I missed the Critics Awards. Well, you can watch it on Peacock. It's streaming, okay?

It's going to be hosted for the, I think, third year in a row. Might even be more than that. Chelsea Handler is going to host the Critics Choice Awards. I know. I know. So we'll see what happens. I mean, the best picture, you know, who's probably, I don't. know. I don't know who to choose because

the nominees are a complete unknown. Anora the brutalist conclave, due in part 2, Emilia Perez, Nickel Boys, Sing, Sing, the substance, Wicked. So there's the Wicked is, you know, probably the forerunner for these nightmare

people, but they all loved to me, they all wanted to like Amelia Perez until they found out that it wasn't filmed in Mexico. It doesn't do the trans people right. And the trans person who's in the movie said some stuff on

social media that nobody likes that the left doesn't like. So she's out. Maybe Conclave, maybe you give it to the, I was very disappointed of that movie. I wanted it to be better than it was. So it'll probably be well, I'd probably give it to what's his face,

a complete unknown for Dylan because he was doing a lot of the singing. And he, you know, Charlemagne did most of the singing. And he's a, I mean, he's a talent. a guy. So, I wouldn't be surprised if they give it to a complete unknown just to keep everybody it's piped down a little bit, okay? Pipe down. We don't need Amelia and we don't need the substance and we don't need Wicked and the Brutelist and Conclave. Just give it to the guy that was singing like Dylan. Okay, that's fine. We'll do that. The best actor, Brody, Adrian Brody and the Brutelist,

Timothy Charlemagne, a complete unknown. Daniel Craig, queer, which he may get that just because queer Colman Domingo and Sing Sing Ralph I never say his name right in Conclave Is it Phineas Fines Fines I can't remember

I can't remember how he pronounced it Ralph F-I-E-N-N-E-S Sorry Ralph I apologize to you okay Hugh Grant Inheretic They'll probably give it to Daniel Craig for queer Unless they end up giving

Wicked Best Picture and then they'll throw Charlemais Best Actor for a Complete Unknown. Best actress, Cynthia Ariel for Wicked. Carla Sophia Gascon from El Amelia, because that's the one who's in trouble now. She was the limelight trans person, and then they found out, oh, man, oh, we don't like what she's posted online. So we got to hate her.

Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Hard Truth, Antalina Jolie, Maria, Mickey Madison and Nora. and Dimmy Moore of the substance. Oh, yeah. They might give it to Demi just because, well, it's Demi. Best supporting, best supporting, best young actor-actress.

Elia Brownie, Furosa, Mad Max Saga. You know, I keep meaning to watch that. I'm told that it was brought back the Mad Max roots, the original Mad Max roots. So I've got to watch that. I keep meaning.

and it's not, I've got it in my saves. Uh, Elliot Huffman, Blitz, uh, Maisie Stella, my old ass, Isaac Wang, Diddy, Alicia Ware, Abigail, Joe Ziegler, Janet Planet. They're probably going to give it to Alicia Ware though. She's, she's the one they all love. Best acting ensemble. Oh, holy cow.

Anora, Conclave, Amelia Perez, Saturday night, Sing, Sing, Wicked. best acting ensemble that gives people a way to get away with voting for some stuff that they don't want to vote for earlier that probably goes to wicked screenplay nobody cares about adapted screenplay nobody cares about cinematography nobody cares best production design yeah nobody cares we care we can i appreciate good work i appreciate good work but nobody cares uh best Best editing, best costume design. That's going to go to Gladiator, too.

That's their one. That's their one. That's what they get. I think that's the only one they're nominated for here in the... Oh, no, their best production design, too. So beats the Grammys. I mean, the Oscars, the actors just threw them one, right? The Oscars just threw one in.

And it looks like they get a couple for the Critics' Choice Awards. Yeah, the clothes look great. Give them the award. That's fine. In fact, we didn't want to give them the award, but they could shut their face because we nominated them, okay? Best visual effects.

Oh, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Yeah, that seems like another lifetime ago that that movie came out, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. And I loved it. Best animated feature, except for the timeline. We've covered this on the show, but the timeline really pissed me off on Planet of the Apes. I got to let it go,

but I can't. I think about it really ticks me up. It should be the bloodline. It should be the bloodline. But I know I'll stop. All right. Best animated feature. Flow, inside out two.

Memoir of a snail. I have not seen that. I think that was on the Oscars list too. Wallace and Gromit, vengeance, most foul. The Wild Robot. They're probably going to give that to Inside Out too. That was a big number for them. Although Wild Robot was pretty cool,

but Inside Out. too is probably going to get that. Best comedy, A Real Pain, Deadpool and Wolverine. Ooh, we can't do anything with Deadpool and Wolverine anymore. Not after the big fight that's going on between What's His Face and What's Her Face and What's His Face? You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, you know from What's His Face and What's Her Face?

And then What's His Face? Yeah, that's not good. Hitman, My Old Ass, Saturday Night, Thelma. Yeah, they might have to pull it. We were going to give us a Deadpool and Wolverine, but nope, can't do that because of what's his face and what's her face and what's his face. You know, can't do that. So you got that to look forward to. You have that to look forward to tonight. You don't know what to do.

There's no football. Colleges football's over. You don't know what to do. Should I, I don't know, ram a nail in my leg or should I watch the Critics Choice Awards? What would be worse? Oh, let's go ahead. And I don't really want to ram a nail in my knee. So let's watch the Critics Choice Awards.

And just a side note on awards. Yesterday they had the NFL honors awards, and I know we talked a little bit about it on Pet Gray Unleashed Overtime today, which you can become a subscriber to Blaze TV and see all of those. Those episodes are so good, especially the ones when Pass not there. Oh, man, it's good.

I want to say that they dicted Eli Manning not getting him into the pro football Hall of Fame and they dicted Adam Venetary for not getting into the pro football Hall of Fame and it just kind of irks me a little bit. They should have been inducted

it was the first time and they got passed over and that's sad because those guys deserve to be into in the Hall of Fame. It's supposed to be when you get inducted to the Hall of Fame it's supposed to be, can you tell the NFL story

without mentioning this person? If you have to mention this person, they're there to be in the Hall of Fame. And you're telling me Eli Manny and Adam Venetary are not part of the NFL story. Stop it. Stop it. So Kevin O'Connell got coach of the year from the Vikings. Congratulations to Josh Allen for winning the MVP.

You know, good for good for, Good for Josh. He deserved it. You know he was going to get it. No question about it. Josh was definitely going to get that. And another person they'd screwed over was DeMar Hamlin. DeMar Hamlin, the guy literally died on the football field.

He, I don't know if you know this. He died on the football field. And he is not won. And he's back playing, starting for the Buffalo Bills. He can't win the comeback player of the year. He should have won it last year. They didn't give it to him. And then he played,

then they said, well, it wasn't the full year. He was still struggling. Okay. So this year, he played all year, all season.

No, no, he still can't win. Still can't win comeback player of the year. The man died on the football field. I don't understand. I mean, I don't know how much more

comeback you can come from. But Joe Burrow won the comeback player of the year. I mean, Joe won it one other time, too. He wanted, he was awful. a year, the year they went

to the Super Bowl, he won comeback player of the year, then he got injured and then he wins it again. Did Joe die on the field? Because I don't think so. I don't know how you can get any more comeback player than DeMarne Hamlet. I don't.

But it is worth every doggone penny at Jeffrey JFR on the Cameo app. Okay. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Virginia McCaskey. Virginia McCasky dead at the age of 102. Virginia Hallis McCasky.

Okay? She was the owner of the Chicago Bears. Now, the son's been running it. I mean, she's 102. So she's not really, she's not doing the day-to-day operations. That's what we were told. Maybe she was. Maybe she was ruling with an iron fist.

But she, according to this, she's known for being profoundly private pertaining to the team her father built, rarely discussing the business aspect of her life. She married this Ed McCasky back in 1943. They had 11 children. She's got 21 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren, four great-great-grandchildren. So there's a bloodline. There's bloodline, and everybody's saying, we want some of great, great grandma's money, we run or run the bears.

Yes, they belong to us. The bears are only worth, I don't know, $6 billion, and they stink. Not really, I'm thinking about Caleb now, so, I mean, they're coming around. But I'm just saying, they're worth that, you know, could they get more than $6 billion?

Probably. Probably. So she holds, the way that works is she, and the son's been running it now. The one son has been running it for a number of years. Virginia herself holds 22.6% of the team's shares. Her 11 children and two nephews each own 3.8%. I mean, 3.8% of the NFL team, that's pretty darn good, man.

You're making some cash. I'm a huge fan. Listen, if they'd like to give me 3.8%. I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. give me three. I don't even want the point eight. I don't want to get greedy.

Just give me the 3% of the NFL team. And I'm good. I mean, I think that's what Brady bought into the Raiders, right? I think he's got 2 or 3% in the Raiders. And that's a big role for him. I apologize. Tom bought 5%

into the Las Vegas Raiders. But apparently, according to this, he and a partner, and I don't know who that was. And I guess it's easy enough to five. find out. Completed a total purchase of 10% of the Raiders. That's a lot.

No wonder he's making a big deal. He's making it happen. Where, you know, Tom has a say. Yeah, he's got a pretty good percentage. Okay. So then this family, the Brazolara family, owns 8.33%. Pat Ryan, love Pat, owns 17.67%.

Andrew J. McKenna's estate owns 2%. And the structure grants the Halis-McClasky family an 80.33 ownership stake, which is how they control the team. Okay.

So that's a pretty big deal. And I mean, 22, her alone holding 22.6% of the team shares, somebody's fighting over that. Somebody's fighting over that. And if they don't want to be

part of the team, they just want the money, they're going to have to break it up. It's, you never know. You never know what's going to have. But anyway, rest in peace. To Virginia.

I mean, she was around from the beginning. Virginia Hallis. George Hells mean anything, do you? I mean, the guy pretty much founded football. Holy cow. So, anyway, rest of peace. To Virginia Hallis, McClasskey. It's not McClassky.

It's McCasky. I don't make that sure. They still lost a few percent. Okay. Virginia Halis McCasky, okay? I know it is, and I'm sad. Man, am I bummed that she passed away? So, I mean, if you're mad at me,

just make it 2.5, and then it'll be okay, all right? I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. So, rest and peace to Virginia McCaskey, dead at the age of 102. And they did not list a cause of death either, so I don't know. I don't know. could there be

I got no I want 2.5% to lowest I'm going I'm not going to try to throw there's any funny business going on I'm sure she I'm sure it was natural causes so I'll stop now right then we have a telemundo reporter

adane Mananzo dead at 27 I know rest in peace he was on assignment in New Orleans for the Super Bowl and there's no list of what happened. Just that, yeah, he died.

He was on assignment for the Super Bowl in New Orleans for Telemundo, Kansas City, and Tico Sports. KG, KC, general manager, Steve Downing, said, yeah, we don't know why he died or what the cause of death was. So, Arriva, Arriva! We're correcting.

They said we're cooperating with the law enforcement as they investigate this tragic event. So, I don't know. I'm just saying that the man, the man is 27. He was in New Orleans, Louisiana for Super Bowl week. And

Arima, Ariva! No, he's dead. So rest in peace to added Manzo. All right, a couple more that really represent, well, they don't represent death, but they're close. Sho Hay Otani's ex-interpreter who stole

$17 million from Shoh-Hay-O-Tani to cover his gambling debts has been sentenced to 57 months in prison for admitting to stealing that money. Now, I don't know what he has left

or if he has anything left, but for how many millions would it take for to spend 57 months in prison. It's a long time, man. It's a long freaking time. Let's figure it out here.

12, that's 1, 24, 36, 48. I mean, it's almost five years. It's almost five years. I don't know. It's a long time, man. That's a long time. Anyway, Good riddins, you criminal. And then I see where this Michigan State representative,
