Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. One of my favorite stories from the weekend is a $4 billion Panasonic electric vehicle battery factory in DeSoto, Kansas. And Kansas is booming, man. They want factories and business in the state of Kansas, and they're getting them. So this $4 billion Panasonic electric vehicle battery factory, I was trying to help satisfy

the Biden administration's efforts to get everyone into an EV. Good luck. But it's going to go, it's going to also extend the life of a coal-fired power plant because they can't build the batteries without the coal-fired power plant. I mean, if that doesn't explain where we're at, I don't know what does. So Panasonic broke ground on this facility last year. And the Japanese company was slated to receive $6.8 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act and has been pouring billions into electric vehicles and battery factories as part of its effort to transition America away from fossil fuels. It's just silly.

However, the factory is going to require between 200 and 250 megawatts of electricity to operate. That's roughly the amount of power needed for a small city. So in testimony to the Kansas City Corporation Commission, which is the state's equivalent of the Wyoming Public Service Commission, this article is from the Cowboy State Daily out of Wyoming. They believe that, yeah, you know what? The near-term challenges from a resource adequacy perspective is that the 4 million square foot panisotic facility, we're going to go ahead and need that power plant. to stay online. And so any of your plans to delay the plant, any of your plans to make the plant transition to natural gas,

yeah, that can't happen right now, or we can't build batteries. That is just unbelievable. And it's not unbelievable. You know what? It is believable because that is exactly where we're at in today's world. Hey, we want everything to be. EV but we can't power the EVs because we don't have enough power. We need the coal fired plants and the

new plants to require this is what we should be building as new plants really if you want to get rid of coal but they can't because they've already come up against saying how bad it is. Wow. So anyway, I just love the idea that we're going to build a battery factory but we can't use the battery factory because we won't have enough power to create the batteries for the EVs without the coal fire plants. Beautiful. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Last week we heard from our man on the street ear witness to the crash of the F-35, the $80 million plane that went missing. From WBTW News 13, Randolph White was the ear witness. of streaching

sort of between a month or something? Yeah, yeah, it needs to be a report. Somebody needs to make a call. Not me. I don't need to make a call, but somebody needs to. So we found out that he was the ear witness

and that was close to the crash site or the proposed crash site. I don't even know if they've opened up that area or not, if it's still on all lockdown there in South Carolina. Then this weekend, we got the audio from the 9-1 call from the house where the pilot landed.

So remember the pilot ejected. And then he landed in a yard in South Carolina. And we have now released the 911 call that was made on his behalf. Yeah, I guess we had a pilot. We could see if we could get some ambulance. I'm sorry, what happened? I'm in my backyard. You guessed?

Yeah, we guessed he landed in our backyards. I don't know. I was in my house and my wife said, hey, there's a guy at the back door. Says he landed in the backyard. So maybe we called 911. That'd be great. Okay, that's great. We've already got somebody on the way. That's great. And this is where the 911 call starts to become agonizing. And I know that's their job. And you want to keep people on the line and you've got to go through protocol of the questions. But sometimes it just seems agonizing. You know, like this time. Yeah, I can't figure out what you're saying. So a moment.

Now we hear the pilot in the background. He's trying to help out a little bit. Then sooner or later, he finally grabs the phone. I was at 2,000 feet. Okay? I ejected. We need to get some military protocol. Let's go.

We need to make some calls. Aircraft failure. I don't know what happened, but it was an aircraft failure. That's why I ejected. And I ended up in this man's backyard. Okay. Okay. I can't see myself.

I've got my pilot suit on. and I can't see myself, okay? Wait, you don't know, there's something wrong? You know, he looks fine. It looks fine. It's the ground, you know. Yeah, maybe you should have listened

to Randolph White. Oh, wait, he didn't call. Never mind. My back. Okay, so why don't you just calm down a little bit, okay? I've already told you there on your way. I do not know what to make of that.

I guess I believe it. Sure. You know, I believe it. but it's just interesting. It's the agonizingness of the 911 call. I know that she can't understand it, and she's not used to, it's a big surprise.

She's not used to having someone say, yeah, I ejected from an airplane. I fell 2,000 feet. I landed in this guy's backyard, and now I'm on the phone with you. We need to take some action, okay? We need to get a hold. Why didn't he say call the base?

I'm really, I guess he was in some kind. kind of, you know, maybe a little bit of shock, I guess, because anybody knew the plan was going to crash. And, you know, we need to get a hold of the military base, right? So the guy at the house called 911, because that's what you would do. And why didn't he, it's surprising to me that he didn't say, hey, I am a pilot, which he did say, and I crashed, I fell to the ground, 2,000 feet, we need to get some action. Get me in touch with such and such a military base, because we need to get some action now.

but no but no that did not happen so we'll getting more information on that and we'll see you know we'll see what actually happened and when they came for the rescue and we know now that the plane crashed in the area well they claim that the plane crashed in this area and so hopefully we'll get more information i'm really surprised that they released the 911 call although it's a separate deal from the military because the military has, as far as I know, has not been really open to giving us information. And that's what the military does. The thing that makes this different, however, is that they asked for our help to find it. Well, when you ask someone for their help and when you do find it, the person or people that you ask for help,

maybe you ought to let them know, thank you. We appreciate it. This is what actually happened. But no, that has not transpired. yet. Now, you know, we love Man on the Street interviews from local news. We had Randolph White there who was awesome. We've had plenty

over the years that I just love and stay on file for us to play when we're feeling down. We want to make ourselves feel better, so we play live news reports, a man on the street. This actually is a way for the chewing-the-fat rule that comes in. Just because

someone puts a microphone in front of your face doesn't mean you have to speak. You can if you want And I thank you for doing that But you don't have to You don't have to prove That you're you're okay And that you're smarter than everyone

We see those man on the street interviews all the time And people are just dumb I don't know It makes us feel better To think that these are the people That they highlight in the videos And the people that got them all right

Just kept going and they didn't highlight them And there were more of them Than the dumb ones That makes you feel better I got it. But then I had this sent to me from, and I don't remember this. And it's from Chapel Hill. And they were massive flooding going on.

And Local News 5 does a man on the street, in this case, a woman on the street reporting because of the flooding that's going on in Chapel Hill. Now, the lady can't bring herself to say, yeah, it's really flooding. Thank you. Appreciate it. We're safe right now. No. She has to continue on. And tell people how dangerous it is, and they're probably going to ask us to evacuate.

Only that's not the word she uses. Wait, what? Yeah, you got to keep evaporating. So, man, you know what happens when the flooding happens? When it gets close to your house, yeah, they were going to come and tell you to evaporate. That's the deal. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

Wow, I should have put this maybe in the Who Died Today segment, but Netflix is ending its DVD service. I know, dry your eyes. I didn't know that looking out your window and waiting for the Netflix envelope to arrive was also known as the male gaze, but apparently that was a thing. Well, that's going to be a past thing as of this coming Friday. If you're listening live, today is the 25th of September, 2023. Friday will be the 29th of September 2020.

And there will be no more Netflix DVD service. I know. I know. According to this, at the height, Netflix had 100,000 DVD titles to choose from. And as of a couple of a couple of... months ago. It had an estimated 6,600 DVDs to choose from. So bye-bye, Netflix and DVD service. I know it's a sad, sad day. Plus, we find out that Amazon now is going to have the television shows and movies on its prime video service. We'll start including limited advertisements

early next year in order for the company to continue investing and compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time. That's why I pay the Amazon fee. We talked about this before. They're just going to break it up and they need to. They don't want to. I don't know why they, what the deal is, but they need to, you know, so you have to pay one fee for the Amazon Prime,

and that is part of getting the video service instead of having two separate things. But now Amazon says it has expanded its hit movies and great shows. Have you? Okay. So they claim that it costs $8.99 a month and included for free in Amazon Prime memberships. Yeah, that's what I mean. Which are $14.99 a month or $139.99 annual. The Amazon says we aim to have meaningful fuel.

ads meaningful meaning i can't say the word we aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear tv and other streaming tv providers oh isn't that special ads in prime video content will be introduced in the u.s uk germany and canada in early 24 followed by france italy spain mexico and australia later in the year oh that's special okay so no action is required for prime members we're not making any changes in 2024 to the current price of prime membership okay well then that's good we will also offer a new ad-free option for an additional $2.99 a month for us prime members and we'll share price so they're still going to charge me more come on there's no you don't need any chance i mean are they just going to add three bucks a month to my prime membership that's probably what they're going to do yep got to charge you

more sorry that's the way it goes uh the plan to changes comments prices for sub-competient streaming services are on the rise. Yeah, they're all on the rise, by the way. There's going to be an ad-free version of Disney. Let's see, we've got Disney. It's raising its prices on its ad-free Disney Plus and Hulu plans. The company announced that the ad-free version of Disney Plus will increase to 1399 a year, starting October 12th, up from the current 1099 a month.

For Hulu, the ad-free version will rise to 1799 a month, up from the ongoing 1499 a month. Plus, if you have Hulu Live, I mean, this is why I got rid of YouTube live and now everybody is just jacking up the prices on everything. HBO Max and Discovery Plus content on Max, they're going up $9.99 a month. Max's ad-free plan is $1599 a month.

For the ultimate ad-free plan on Max, that's $1999 a month, which allows up to four devices to stream at once and offers 4K UHD with Dolby Atmos on select titles, and that's special. And they didn't even mention Netflix prices on here. Plus, just be ready to pay more for everything. Bidenomics. Good news, I guess, for the writers, the major film and television studios and striking

writers reached a tentative agreement. After days of marathon negotiating, I mean, they were on strike for 100 and to 46 days. we won't know what exactly the contract is for a couple of days and then they'll have a while to ratify it. But we shall see what happens. Plus we still have the actor strike that's going on. This will probably make that end soon. But the agreement still needs to be ratified. Yeah, yeah.

It represents more than 11,000 writers. It's a turning point. Yeah, is it, though? The last strike in 88 lasts 154 days, so this was only 146. We got it done earlier. So to be clear, no one has to return to work until specifically authorized by the guild. Yeah. So we're still technically on strike.

Okay. We haven't ratified anything. We just agreed tentatively to this agreement. Okay? The SAG-A-After has been on strike since mid-July, which represents 160,000 actors. We'll see if they come to a deal soon. I'm sure they will. People are losing a lot of money.

$5 billion, according to economists, on economic impact nationwide. Restaurants, service firms, prop shops all felt the ripple effects from ongoing disputes and have had to cut staffing as a result. In New York, disruption of 11 major productions resulted in a loss of $1.3 billion and 17,000 jobs. wow so there you have it so hopefully every strike will be over and how about how about the

gm strikes going on well it's not just gm it's the united auto workers okay and that strike is still ongoing i'm told uh president biden is going to go to detroit uh trump is going to go to detroit everybody wants a piece of the striking action so good luck to everyone maybe now drew barry more can get her TV show back up and running. Hopefully Bill Maher will be able to get his show up and running all the late night shows. Yay! We're able to come back on, I guess, in another week or so. We'll see.

But as of right now, it's just we're saying that the strike is over, but it really isn't. So, okay, good luck. God bless. I want everybody to get what they want. With AmX Platinum, $400 an 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? Well, Nicholas Galey, 40. Rest in peace, dead. He was an experienced wing suit skydiver,

and he smashed into a plane's wing, or the wing, or the plane's wing, smashed into him, and he was decapitated 20 seconds into his jump. That's when his parachute opened, and his body, or lifeless body, headless body, just floated to the ground. It's not funny. Stop, just stop laughing.

It's not funny, okay? So they took the pilot to trial for manslaughter. And the pilot's like, I did everything. I've got 226 jumps under my belt. And I don't know what I did. My flight path made sense. It's been the tragedy of my life. And so he worked at the skydiving school.

And he had a little trouble before. He had an invalid license. after he violated some restrictions stemming from an unspecified medical condition. That doesn't have anything to do with this, though, does it? No, of course not. So according to this, he was the only one who obeyed the rules without negligence on the ill-fated jump. Okay. So they asked for a 12-month suspended sentence for the pilot and a fine of more than $10,000 for his employer.

The verdict in the manslaughter trial is due in November. So we don't even know. We wouldn't even know until November. What is happening? This happened in France. Oh, my gosh. Let's hop to it. We have to wait until November to get a verdict on this thing.

So we're going to have to find out what the verdict is on the pilot in February and relive this whole thing again. Because, I mean, just, I'm thinking of the wingsuit skydiver, just jumping out of the plane and then just getting into the jump and then being struck by the plane. It does not sound like it would be fun. So Nicholas Galey, 40, rest in peace. Then we have an unnamed man in Las Vegas who was working to help prepare for the Formula One's Las Vegas Grand Prix. Who, by the way, that happens on November 18th,

and we're already building, and apparently this track is supposed to go through the strip and up and around, and they're building all kinds of things. over the fountains at the Bellagio, which is where this fatal injury happened. Apparently, there was a major laceration to his neck. Those always end well, don't they? So it's unclear how he suffered the fatal injury, but the authorities were called it to the Bellagio Fountains, and he was transported to the local hospital.

That's where he died. Yet, nobody wants to admit that he died on the scene. Nope, take him with you. He was still alive when he left here. The occupational safety and health administration is obviously investigating. the death. And they're, you know, building up Vegas for the big Formula One race in November, a 3.8 mile track in total. Really amazing what they're going to do for that city for the F1 race. Really amazing. And we also, I don't forget about the sphere at the Venetian resort.

That opens this Friday with you, too, starting their residence at the Venetian. I, there's a, that is the sphere. at the Venetian. Now, there's also a big construction project in Vegas of the moon. And that's a new venue in Vegas. I think that Elton John should be the opening act for the moon. And you could just, you know, Rocket Man.

Elton John comes out of retirement. One final show or one final week or one final month or whatever you want to do on the moon. Elton John plays on the moon. and the rocket man on the moon would be a great thing. Just an idea for me. You can go ahead and use it. You're welcome.

All right, so we're still in Who Died Today? Who died today? So I got this in an email at Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. You can always email the show anytime chewing the fat at the blaze.com. And the email said, hey, did you see this? and what happened is in New England there was 24 oiled gulls

so apparently these seagulls got into a truck carrying used cooking oil now they apparently have been attracted to the smell of fried foods and landed in the back of the truck where the viscous oil soaked through their feathers yeah I'd like to know it doesn't say anywhere in the story why was it open?

Why was there an open truck of cooking oil? It doesn't make any sense to me. But apparently the birds have been, you know, once they got in the oil, that means that they're flightless because the oil is heavy and they can't get it. Several of them are in critical condition. Oh, no.

Not critical condition, seagulls. Oh, no. That can't happen. Seagulls are like sky rats. So what? I mean, I know. I feel bad for them. I do. I do feel bad for the nameless sea gulls. But I don't think we should be using resources to save them. I just don't. So there is a place, the Cape Hospital in Massachusetts,

the New England Wildlife Center, where they are assessing and stabilizing the gulls. The washing process will start in the next few days. Once they've had a chance, chance to de-stress and eat a good meal. Washing an oiled bird is an extremely labor-intensive process, and it could take up to an hour to wash each bird. We were very thankful that we had our oil spill response kits on hand. Who doesn't? And we're able to help and grateful to the officer who was able to capture these birds. We'll follow up on updates on their condition over the next few days. yeah they did lose some and say yes some didn't make it sorry and apparently there was some more brought in as well do i mean okay i know we're supposed to feel sorry for them i know we're

supposed to feel sorry for them but there's seagulls there's sky rats no i'm not going to feel sorry for them they went in first of all i want to know why there's a truck uh with this oil wide open. Usually isn't that supposed to be covered? Aren't they in tanks? At least tarp that load if it's cooking oil. That's a weird thing. I want to know why that happened, which they don't say in any of the stories about this. And I would also like to say that they're seagulls. So, you know what? Darn the luck. They weren't able to make it. Oh, no. We've lost a whole 24 oiled gulls. I know. I know it's sad. I'd be bummed. But I'm more bummed that we're spending all this time, money, and resources on de-oiling these

birds and de-stressing them and giving them food. And hopefully they'll be able to get back on their way. Because what we need are more sky rats out in the world. Right? Right. And one more who died today. We have a man and unnamed. man in Florida. Panellas County, Florida. I've lived in Pinellas County, Florida.

Beautiful. Where they found a dead body and an alligator, a 13-foot alligator, with the deceased human body. Now, I have heard conflicting reports that the gator was dragging the man's body, but it was in a local little inland waterway ditch of water there in Pinellas County. And there was a guy walking home. from the original story was he was walking home from a job interview and saw the gator with the human. So I don't know how much of that is actually true.

But I will say that at least in Florida, officials believe that humans first, even though we do have one dead body, they have killed the 13 foot alligator. Want to know why? Because there's plenty of gators. And when you get one that you're not sure

about, you end it. So that's the way it goes. what we should be doing with sky rats in Massachusetts. Okay, don't worry about it. They got it some cooking oil. Bummer. Anyway, and I didn't see a report. I don't know if the man was already dead,

and the gator said, hey, look, there's a guy dead here in the ditch. I'm going to take him with me and eat him. Or if he, you know, the guy was passed out, and the gator killed him and chomped him. I don't know. I didn't see the full story. I just know that a human was found next to this in this Ridgecrest Park,

which is, you know, a little Pinellas County Park. And so because the Gator was either next to the human or was chewing on the human, we had to put them down. So have a nice day, Wally Gator.

And just to be clear, no one supports gators more than me. Hello, my favorite place in the world is Gator Land. But they're there being taken care of so that we humans can go and look. Humans first. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

He said it's an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can't wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they've seen from me Before, thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I'll see you real soon. I mean, congratulations to Usher. I have no problem with Usher doing the halftime performance. I thought for sure that it was going to be Taylor Swift. I mean, she's all about her new boyfriend, Travis Kelsey.

She's in Kansas City, sitting with mom in the box, and there's a picture of them coming into the stadium. I don't know. And Travis is wearing his Travis Kelsey pregame suit. along with Taylor. And so, you know, I mean, seriously, she's played in more football stadiums than he has this year. Thank you.

Thank you. That's a fact. But, you know, I just thought for sure that it should be Taylor Swift performing at the Super Bowl. The Chiefs have a pretty good, pretty good odds that they're going to be there again. So, anyway, I just, that was just me.

Then we had the Miami Dolphin, score 70 points against the Denver Broncos. the first time in NFL history since 1966 that a team has scored 70 points. 72 was the record in 1966. I wish the dolphins would have kicked another field goal and gotten that 73 to set the record. But no. Then we also had the first girl that wasn't a kicker play in a football game. In Virginia, Shannon Doa University, which is a D3 school.

a D3, big deal, but it is a university, and they do have a football team. Safety Haley Van Vortis became the first woman to play in an NCAA football game who was not a kicker or a punter. And she was excited to do it. She apparently had a quarterback hurry and part of the game and tackle and prove that she can still do it. And she said that she was happy to be a part of it and prove what women can do when they're given the chance. okay. And we've always said, if they could do it, do it. But the point was, a lot of times they can't do it. That's part of the problem. But good for her. Congratulations. So I will always remember the girl that tried to play on my son's high school football team in ninth grade, I think it was, maybe it was 10th. And she came out, practiced with the team. She was tough out there on the field. And after, I don't know, about a week and a half. She stuck it out for about a week and a half. Maybe it wasn't even that long.

But once hitting started, she had enough. And, you know, it was no problem. She was out there practicing. Good for her. But she realized at some point, ooh, yeah. No, I'm going to go over here and not be here. And you can't blame her.

And it did arrive. Yesterday morning, scientists retrieved the estimated 8.8 ounces of rocks and soil from the asteroid Benu which is the first time NASA has ever gathered a sample from an asteroid.

When the sample capsule landed in the Utah desert after being dropped off by the Osiris Rex spacecraft from 63,000 miles away, it marked the 4 billion mile journey that began in 2016.

If you're asking yourself, why it was it being dropped off in Utah? Well, it's the largest, and I did not know this until this story. It's the largest restricted airspace in the U.S. So it'll be flying across that place. They will send the jets up for you. You know, if they have any left, but if they can find them and they have people that know how to fly them and, you know, don't eject out of them. They'll be to bring the jets on you if you're in the.

that restricted airspace. Anyway, we hope that the sample will contain key information about the beginning of our solar system. Uh-huh. And tell us more about the origins of life on Earth. Uh-huh. Okay. So now we also have, we're going to get, the scientists have got to analyze the rocks

and soil for the next two years. I guess they're going to release preliminary details about the sample in October, but they'll just whatever they say, it'll be, don't believe anything we say now, because we won't have any more information for another two years. Hopefully we'll get information before then. That would be nice. I know that they're also doing another mission, another mission, spacecraft, psych, is going to track down an asteroid with the same name, and we can be psych is going to track

down psych, and we're going to be able to get, you know, stuff. dust from psych too. So I guess that's great news for NASA. Well, I mean, NASA, that is great news. But I don't know what they... Is it going to show origins of life on Earth from an asteroid?

It's because the Earth got hit by an asteroid. Did it though? Did it? And those of you thinking to go to California out in San Diego and you wanted to visit La Jolla Beach? Is it La Jolla? Is that how you pronounce that? I know. It's La Jolla.

Stop it. Anyway, it's known for its beauty and rugged rocks. But what makes it even more remarkable is the sea lion population. And the sea lion population believes that La Jolla is there where we're going to breed a nurse. So people in, you know, I say people, politicians don't want humans in close contact with these sea lions. And so people show up and they take selfies with them. And we can't have that. We cannot have that.

Because humans are the invasive visitors. Sea lions, they're not invasive at all to humans. But we are invasive to the sea lions. So the city council voted 8 to zero to amend the city code to protect the sea lions. Okay. So they're going to put in 150 yard closure. you're still going to be able, apparently, to get to the beach. They're going to say that you'll be able to see the sea lions from behind barriers.

And there will be an ocean access point still available. Way down there and about three feet wide. You can go there. So the good news is that it is not forever. Duh. You wouldn't think that a city council would just close them. beach permanently because of sea lions. No, no, it's not forever. It's only for seven years. After seven years, you got to apply for a new amendment or a new coastal development permit.

So it's not forever. It's only for seven years. Oh, man, oh man, oh man. Next thing you know, they're going to be wanting to close down the Lake Michigan Beach in Wisconsin because the American flamingos, five of them, showed up on the beach, about 25 miles north of Milwaukee. It's the first sighting of the species in Wisconsin state history. So let's shut down the beaches, shall we? Here's what the birds did. All right, now there's another five flamingos on Lake Michigan's western shoreline. The waves lapped against their thin legs.

Three were adults. identifiable by their pink plumage, and two were juveniles clad and gray. The birds stood quietly. Oh, my gosh. And 75 bird enthusiasts were drawn to the city's South Beach

after words spread on social media about the Flamingo's appearance there. This is huge. This is unbelievable, said Edel Huber, an avid bird watcher and photographer. It was unexpected and beautiful.
