Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Okay, so fish, flying fish, are now causing power outages in America, and this has got to stop. Now, sure, we have hurricanes, sure we have earthquakes, sure we have fires, sure we have heat waves, just wipe us. out the planet. But when we start having flying fish, landing on power lines to cause power outages, that's a problem.

Okay. Now, I realize that the people in New Jersey, Sarville, New Jersey, who lost power over 2,000 people because of a fish in the power lines. And they pretend that the fish fell out of the claws of a bird, an Osprey. Okay. Now the Osprey were endangered in New Jersey and are now recovering. I guess they have, I don't know, seven or eight hundred nesting pairs in New Jersey now.

Great. Happy for them. But they claimed that this Osprey had caught a fish, was flying over the power lines, and, you know, drop the fish causing the power coils within this transformer to become misaligned. And 2,000 people lost power. And so they

claim that, yeah, animals sometimes cause power outages, but fish are not on the frequent list of offenders. Yeah, no kidding. Because normally fish don't fly. And now we have flying fish that are causing power outages. And I would

say that that's a problem. I don't know what's causing it. I'm guessing that it has something to do with climate change. I don't know that, though. And I just know that fish are now causing power outages in this great country. And I won't have it. Something has to be done. Welcome.

Welcome to chewing the fat. So according to this, a new study found that most socioeconomically diverse places in the U.S. are chain restaurants like Applebee's and Olive Garden, whose affordable delicacies enable cross-class mingling more than civic spaces such as schools, churches, and parks. The study also found that dollar stores and local pharmacies like CVS widened social isolation

among high and low-income people. It's from this rubbing shoulders, class, segregation, in daily activities study from Harvard University was co-authored by a naval postgraduate school and a Harvard University human Nathan Wilmers and Maximus Massinoff I don't know masson cough and they say they used location data to study activity and encounters across class lines so low income and especially high income individuals are socially isolated more likely than any other income groups. They're because they encounter people from their own social class.

Using simple counterfactual exercises, we study the causes. Some industries cater mainly to low and high income groups, golf courses, wineries, yada, you know, the hard class working class guy is not there. Industry alone explains only a small share of the isolation. People are most isolated. when they are close to home. And the tendency to go to nearby locations explains about one third of the isolation. So, you know, people, whatever class you're in, whatever neighborhood you live in, that's where you live.

Duh. And they're calling that isolation. Okay. So using our uniquely detailed data, we show that brands combined with distance explain about half the isolation of the rich. And that's where you get into casual restaurant chains like Olive Garden and Applebee's. have the largest positive impact on cross-class encounters through both scale and their diversity of visitors. Yeah, but they're not talking. They're not hanging out. I mean, I guess you're being civil to each other at the restaurants, but you're not, you know, participating with each other,

except for maybe a head nod and a hello. Dollar stores in local pharmacies like CVS deep in isolation. Again, okay. I mean, if they're in your neighborhood, I guess. Amongst, Publicly funded spaces, libraries and parks are more redistribution than museums and historical sites. And despite prominent restrictions on chain stores in some large U.S. cities, chains are more class diverse than independent stores. Yeah, because the independent stores are in the neighborhoods, and you're only going to them if you live in that neighborhood. The chains are for larger areas, so everybody from separate neighborhoods are going to those. Duh. The mix of establishments in a neighborhood is strongly associated with cross-class Facebook friendships.

Thank you. And the results uncover how policies that support certain public and private spaces might impact the connections that form across class divides. So just if you all live in the same building, no matter how rich or how poor, you're going to hang out with each other. Okay. All right, that's good. Now, what you need to do if you're hanging out with people is you better make sure you're using the right pronouns. Okay, because I see a list of pronoun tips that was hung in a middle school or purported to be hanging in a middle school in New York. I don't know if it's in a classroom or if it was in a hallway, but it's giving you pronoun tips.

And of course they say, look, this is not an all-inclusive list. Please let us know if we missed anything. So pronouns are important for everyone, are they? Using someone's correct pronouns is a sign of basic respect and shows that you see them for who they truly are. Being called the wrong pronoun feels like being shoved into an itchy sweater or a too small shoe. Being called the correct pronoun is often accompanied by feelings of joy and validation. The most common pronouns, that's what we're here for is to validate you. The most common pronouns people use are he, she, and they.

but there are also many other options. Yeah, we know that. People may change their pronouns over time. It is important to always introduce yourself with your pronouns because it lets people know how to refer to you and shows that you are open and accepting to transgender and gender non-conforming people. Never assume someone's pronouns are gender.

Don't do it. Don't assume it. Anyone or any gender, anyone or any gender, gender can look anyway and use any pronouns. If you don't know someone's gender or pronouns, it is best to refer to them with gender neutral pronouns and terms, you know, like, hey you. It doesn't say that that was me. It's not on the list that's hanging in the New York Middle School. If you mess up someone's pronouns, it's important to correct yourself and move on without

making a big deal of it or attracting a lot of attention. That should work both ways, by the way. If you mess up someone's pronouns and they correct you, it's best to say, thank you for correcting me rather than saying, I'm sorry. Because saying sorry leads people to reply with, it's okay, even when it's not okay. So I make a mistake, it's not okay. All right. All right. And I apologize for it. That's still not okay. Huh. Weird that it's never enough. If someone uses multiple sets of pronouns, you can ask the person if they have a preference, but most people who use multiple pronouns want their pronouns to be used interchangeably and don't have a preference. So if you're using multiple pronouns, you can ask, hey, do I have to call you each one of those? Or can I just call you one of them? Or how about, hey, hey, Hey, you. Similar to pronouns of different people have different preferences for which gendered terms they are comfortable with. And you can't assume what gendered terms someone is comfortable with. Using the correct gendered terms for a person is respectful and validating. So that's just a, I mean, that's the entire list. Now, of course, as they stated at the beginning, it's not an all-inclusive list. and if you can think of any that was missed, please use them on your own pronoun tip list. I am just trying to help you get through life.

Let's say if you are a poor person and you decide to go to Olive Garden and they sit you in a booth next to a rich person, you'll know how to use the correct pronouns. I'm trying to think if I ever had to run in with someone over using the wrong pronouns. And I don't think I have. I don't think I have. If I did, if someone said, excuse me, my pronouns are Z-Z-Z-Z-Zer. I would say, okay, can you pass me the salt?

My pronouns are Z-Z-Zer. Okay, how much is this item? I mean, I don't know that it would get into me. Where the problem would lie is if you would say, no, she's next. Excuse me, I'm not a she. I'm a Z-Z-Zer. Which is my favorite, by the way,

the Z-Z-Zezer's. And then I would say, okay. And if it were me in line, I would probably just go, okay, Z-Z-Zer here was next. It's just silly. It's just silly.

I mean, we live in silly times. Jordan Peterson, I'm sorry, Dr. Jordan Peterson, is now in trouble with the Canadian government or the regulatory board. because they're claiming that he needs to go back to re-education camp. Oh, okay, really? Yeah, you need to undergo re-education.

Because of your opinions? Wow. That does not sound like a free place to spread the word. What country is that again? Oh, yeah, Canada. So the report committee concluded that the doctor's comment were degrading, demeaning, and unprofessional, adding that his conduct poses moderate risks to the public, does it,

and runs the risk of undermining public trust in the profession of psychology and trust in the college's ability to regulate the profession in public interest. Okay, so what horrific act did he do? Well, he criticized as the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, and Trudeau's former chief of staff. A suggestion that the doctor who cut off actresses Elliot Page's healthy breasts was a criminal physician. Whoa, that's horrible. And a retweet of a comment made by the leader of Canada's official opposition party regarding the unnecessary severity of COVID lockdowns.

That bastard. That regulatory board is correct, man. he needs to not only undergo re-education. He needs to go to re-education camp, not just a re-education class, because this guy is out of control. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

All right. So Barbie, the movie is still around, still hanging out, still making money. It apparently is ready to take over and become the highest grossing film in the U.S. box office beating out Super Mario Brothers at just over $574 million. So I guess

internationally, Super Mario Brothers is still strong. They've made 784 million internationally, and Barbie currently sits at 714 million. So it's pretty good. So Super Mario Brothers has the 1.36 billion worldwide. Barbie only has 1.28 billion worldwide. What a bunch of losers. I mean, it wasn't even number one last weekend at the box office. Okay?

It was only number one for four weeks. So it lost out to Blue Beetle. And man, if you want to see a good movie, I actually don't know what Blue Beetle is about. Other than being about a superhero that's a Blue Beetle. It's produced by DC Comics. So according to this, the plot is in a remote frozen tundra of Antarctica, members of cord industries led by the company's co-founder and CEO,

Victoria Accord, managed to locate an ancient alien artifact known as the scarab. Oh, no. And then the fun begins. So there you have it. Bluebeel, which was number one last week, beat out Barbie. But so what? Because Barbie will soon be the highest grossing film, you know, in the U.S. and probably globally this year.

Incredible. Incredible. Oh, and speaking of Super Mario Brothers. I see where the voice of Mario, Charles Martinette, the original voice of Mario on Nintendo games since the 90s, is stepping down. He will now serve in the role of

Mario Ambassador, traveling around the world to promote the beloved plumber, signing autographs and performing Nintendo character voices. Nintendo said it's been a privilege working with Charles to help bring Mario to life for so many years and want to thank him and celebrate.

him. So in addition to being the original voice of Mario, he also voiced Luigi Wario and Woolilugi. I think that's how you pronounce it. I'm not positive. While he did not voice Mario in the recent movie, he did have a small role

as Mario's dad. He said he wants to be the voice until he drops dead. Then why is he stepping away? I'm not sure. Earlier, I mean, a couple years ago, he said he was going to be the voice until he dropped dead and or at least until someone thinks I can no longer do it so maybe that's it uh maybe that's it

uh they didn't say who's going to replace him i'm here if you need me uh nintendo be you know we can give it a shot and i could be mario because i mean he said so much ooh-hoo oh hey that's my Mario. That's my trial for Mario for Nintendo. Who, who. Hey. Hey. I mean, he's only 67. So something is up. Something is up with that because there's no way he walks away from that just to be an ambassador for Nintendo unless he's just tired of doing the gig. And he's like, you know what? I can, let me be the ambassador.

and I'm going to stay here at my house and not have to work ever again. You could call me once in a while. Hey, Charles, we need you to go to Paris. Eh, well, I'd love to, but I just don't. I can't right now. So that's got to be it. Or maybe he's, you know, heaven forbid he's sick. Because he's only 67.

Why would you walk away from that gig? That's a good gig. So anyway, Charles Martinette. Good luck. And you see where Jennifer Aniston is talking about cancel culture. And Jennifer said that, I don't understand about cancel culture. Oh, what don't you understand, Jennifer? Well, I'm over it.

Is there no redemption? Huh, that's interesting coming from Jen in her Wall Street Journal magazine interview. I probably just got canceled for saying that. No, no, you didn't. She said, I don't, just don't understand. what it means. Is there no redemption? I don't know. I don't put everybody in the Harvey Weinstein

basket. Oh, okay. So now you're we're talking about Harvey now or cancel culture? Because Harvey is part of the whole me too thing. Not cancel culture. Whatever. All right, whatever. He's not a guy you like. God.

I can't wait to hang out with Harvey. Never, she explained. Yeah, no kidding. I do find it funny that she said, You were actually like, oh, God, okay, suck it up. I remember, actually, he came to visit me on a movie to pitch me a movie, and I do remember consciously having a person stay in my trailer. Do you, Jen?

And do you remember thinking to yourself, oh, God, suck it up? That's a funny description to use when you're talking about Harvey. Oh, God, suck it up, isn't it? Anyway, it's interesting that Jen, and I know the whole Chris Rob, thing with the Jewish thing, which was nothing. It was agonizing. But, you know, and I don't even think it was her.

I think it was a Jennifer Aniston Instagram bot that actually liked a tweet that may have been devices, but really wasn't. It's interesting to me that she's talking about cancel culture and how she's so over it. When I think in less than a couple of weeks, maybe in a couple of weeks, I think what was the release date?

September 13th, I believe. If you're listening live, today is the 24th of August, 2023. So the 13th of September, the new morning show on Apple TV Plus debuts, season three. And they have a big cyber attack. They get hacked. And so they talk about how certain things may come to light. personal things that we never meant to be shared. Huh.

That's interesting. You mean so something might get shared that would get you canceled? Ha! That's interesting that you're talking about that as the morning show is getting ready for season three debut. Huh? Now I'm sure. I'm sure it has nothing to do with that.

It's hockey season and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost almost. anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats.

today? Now this is going to be a surprise. Yvgeny Pragozen. They believe to be dead. Remember, progosen, or progozen, led Wagner rebellion in June in Russia. Remember he was marching his men toward Moscow, and he was the former Wagner Group chief,

and he led his private mercenary group on his mutiny against the Russia's defense ministry. and a big surprise he was flying in a plane yesterday with nine other people there were ten people on the plane seven passengers

and three crew members and they crashed this is the same guy when everybody was like I can't believe that Putin you know let this slide and said ah he's fine don't worry about it

Yvgain he is fine you've gained you're fine yeah you can go over Belarus and you're fine. Don't worry about it. Oh, okay. Well, just a, I'm just a complete coincidence that a plane he was on crashed. No survivors. Very sad for the other nine people, although if you're on a plane with Yvgeny, I guess you pretty much know what you're in for. So the Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency said they were launching an investigation into the crash. Are they? so the plane was headed to St. Petersburg from Moscow before, I mean, he was in Moscow,

before losing signal according to flight data, it did not appear to lose altitude before, hey, we lost the signal, and then we crashed. So, amazing. I guess he made his first public appearance since the attempted rebellion in a video, and, you know, that mutiny was a challenge against Vlad. So I know that Yvgeny, you've gained him. you know, was Vlad patting him on the back and said, hey, get out of here, go to Belarus. But, okay, then he made a video and he was in Moscow. So you got to believe Vlad was a little tad unhappy.

Maybe not just a little unhappy, but a tad unhappy. Now, I will say that he was listed on the private jet flight manifest, along with the crew members and the other six passengers. But they. believe that he often flew in a secondary plane out of caution. So he may still be alive, knowing that he would piss off Vlad by being in Moscow and recording a video instead of being in Belarus planting his garden. He may have taken another plane. So maybe Yvgeny Progosen is still alive. But if not, as of right now, he's believed to be dead. So Yvgeny Progosen, dead at the age of 62,

along with nine other people on the plane. Rest in peace. Also, who died today, Terry Funk, the NWA heavyweight champion, W.W.E. Hall of Famer, Terry Funk is dead at the age of 79. I mean, this guy started wrestling in the mid-1960s for his father's Western States sports promotion.

That's so local wrestling was so much fun. My grandfather talked to me about how all of this took place. He traveled all over the world, including wrestling for championship wrestling from Florida, all pro, Japan wrestling. And, I mean, he made some movies in Hollywood. Then he came back at a big feud with Rick Flair. And then he hooked up with Mick Foley. and the New Age Outlaws. I mean, he was one of the, you know, huge wrestler

throughout the years from the very beginning of when wrestling was just those local wrestling matches like his father was running Western States sports promotion to what it is today. Amazing. Terry Funk, dead at the age of 79. A couple more on our Who Died Today list. David Jacobs, you know him. he created Dallas, the TV show, and he created Nott's Landing, the TV show. He has passed away at the age of 84.

And he had been battling Alzheimer's for quite some time, I'm told. And just a passing note for Terry Funk, too, he was messing with dementia as well. So very, very sad. Anyway, David Jacobs dead at the age of 84. then we have some a profession that may be dead now i don't know i'm putting it in the who died today section because i kind of feel like it should be here because uh meta has unveiled an ai model called a seamless m4 t that can translate speech and text between nearly 100 languages automatically including the ability to understand and translate

when someone switches language in the middle of a sentence. So I feel like human translators died today. I feel like human translators aren't worth their salt anymore. If you have an AI model that can translate speech and text in nearly 100 languages automatically, and it can go between languages. Humans, we love you, but not that much. We'll be using the new AI.

Okay, have a nice day. And I see where the cause of death has been revealed. Chef Tafari Campbell, you know him, the former chef of the Obamas. He's already been in our Who died today. He was 45 when he passed away. But we never knew exactly, you know, what killed him. Now, the autopsy, the results of his autopsy have not made public, and I guess it's state policy that the autopsy isn't made public. Weird.

But Timothy McGurk, and I love Timothy McGurk, he's a spokesman for the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. And man, who doesn't love the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, he believes and said that the cause of death, has officially been ruled to be submersion in a body of water. And his manner of death has been determined to be an accident. So why don't you just shut up, okay? He'd been paddleboarding on the Egerton Great Pond off Martha's Vineyard, where the Obama's own their summer estate. And he lost his footing, went underwater and never resurfaced.

So that's what happened. And that's, it's an accident, okay? It was an accident. Now, I have joked around. It's just a joke. And, you know, look, I'm sorry. He has a, he left behind a wife and twin boys. It's sad.

And we've joked about why he was, why he died. And, you know, it obviously could have been an accident. But it was just the way that it was handled from the very beginning. The Obamas weren't there. and then, oh yeah, they were on Martha's Vineyard, but they weren't at the house. The kids weren't there. Oh, yeah, they were on Martha's Vineyard,

but they weren't at the house. It was just a strange thing. The 911 call was blocked off. We didn't know who made the 911 call. You know, and they, I mean, it was eight feet of water and just really strange. And so, I mean, it's sad. It's sad.

An accident or not, it's sad. But, you know, I've made the joke that it's tough to find you. eight feet of water when you're tied to a cinder block. But, you know, it doesn't say that in the stories anywhere. That's just me thinking out loud. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Who, how about that debate last night, huh? How about I watched both. I watched the debate.

I watched the Tucker interview with Trump. And it's just, it's too much for me. And you don't need to, if you watched it, you know what it was like. If you didn't watch it, bless your heart. That whole DeSantis and Mike Pence and Tim Scott, Nicky Haley and Vivek Ramoswamy and Chris Christie and Doug Berman and Bergam and Asa Hutchinson, oh my gosh, they should have broken it up

and just had a kids table for some of these people because they don't belong there. And I get it, they're running for president. So if I was running for president with my how about no campaign, I would want to be on that stage as well.

But it's just, you know, it was just, I don't know, a little agonizing. And then the interview with Trump and Tucker and you knew we weren't going to get any, it was a good interview, kind of.

I was like 40, 6, 47 minutes long. It was okay. She had millions of views. For sure, he beat Fox's ratings. Although I will say, I think some of them came from multiple, you know, a lot of the views came from the same person. Because I know I was watching and I would pause the Trump video to watch what was going

on the debate on Fox. And then I'd go back to push play on the Tucker interview. And I went back to the beginning. So I had to start it again. and then, you know, kind of fast forward. So does that count as an extra view? I don't know, I guess. We'll see.

But either way, it was still more than what Fox had for viewers. That's for sure. And then today, we have Trump expected to turn himself in and, you know, get arrested in Georgia and post his $200,000 bond. And, man, they were going to be everywhere hoping for this mugshot from Donald Trump. That should just be his new campaign photo. the mugshot from Georgia because it is definitely

agonizing that they are arresting this man. I know, no matter what you think of them, I just feel like we're arresting a presidential candidate. Oh, yeah, the law is for everybody. Is it, though? Is it really? I mean, I saw the rest of them all get their mugshots the last few days of Giuliani

and released the Cracken lawyer. All of them have got their mugshots. It's just incredible what's, going on. I will say this, that you could bet on the Donald Trump arraignment because they are saying, hey, how much will Donald Trump weigh at his arraignment in the Georgia booking? So odds makers are saying that the over or under on Trump's weight is 273.5 pounds. Okay. So you can, let's see when is the deadline to bet i think you can probably still get a bet in um until this afternoon uh good luck though get a bet in to see it's the over under i'm not sure what the over under is on

the way i'm guessing it's under 273 uh i will go with the under on 273 uh he did not look 273 last night on tucker but you never know he's a big guy he's a big guy and his son uh baron holy guy you've seen baron Barron is like eight feet tall now. It's amazing. I saw a picture of Barron. I couldn't believe it. Now, I know he's not eight feet tall.

And he's taking a picture with this really short lady. And then there's this, I guess, average or below average adult male off to the side in the picture. So it's like a really short lady. And then an average kind of guy. And then there's Barron next to the short lady. He looks like the guy at the Ripley's Believe it or not. You see him. the tallest guy in the world

18 feet tall He just looked like that It was amazing Just incredible So anyway, go with the under Trump does not weigh 273.5 pounds You're welcome

Oh, and one more thing I'd like to say Thank you for listening to Pat Unleashed Dan Bongino The story today On The Daily Wire is a former Secret Service agent, Trump should refuse Bond

forced Fulton County to jail him. Wednesday former radio host Dan Bongino said Trump should refuse to post Bond when he surrenders and they should force district attorney to put him in jail. As heard, as said by

me on Pat Unleashed Wednesday morning on the show, while I was there to do chewing the fat, my regular Wednesday chewing the fat segment. At some point during that show, we talked about the arraignment coming, and I

said he ought to just not pay the bond. Just make him arrest them. Make the Secret Service shut down the jail. And that would be, just do the rest, do the campaign from jail. That would be fun. And so Dan Bonino

must have heard that and ran with it. So you're welcome, Dan. You're welcome. And thanks for listening to Chewing the Fat and Pat Unleashed. Because there's no way that he could have just come I'll put that on his own like the rest of us. No way. So yesterday I talked about Costco and having to see your card and your picture on the back

of it. And if you don't have a card with the picture on the back of it, they want to see the card and your ID so it matches the name on the card. Okay. So I would say that if you're using someone else's card, me, and I think we've talked about this before, if they have a picture on the back of it, you most definitely could use someone else's card because as soon as anyone, They just want to see the card and look at the picture.

And if they say, wow, that doesn't look like you. Just go, yeah, I lost weight, I gained weight, I changed my hair color, you know, whatever. I identify as a female or a male, and that's me. And they can't do anything. I'm sorry, no, they won't do anything. That's a way to get by that. But I got an, and I wondered what would happen. I had not seen what would happen if they believed you weren't able to use the card.

If they believed you were using someone else's card. I have not seen that. happen. I don't know if a SWAT team drops from the ceiling like in Monsters, Inc. You know, and I don't know what happens. I don't know what happens if they have their own Costco police that runs out. I'm not

And then I'm obligated. Well, I'm not obligated. If I want to get the money, if I want to get paid, then I do it. I can't, I could say no, but that's something I don't, you know, in my personal life, uh, no, I am not going to say no. So anyway, back to this email from Todd and Costco. Okay, so Todd emails me and says, hey, I was sick and sent my son to Costco for provisions. This was before the self-checkout started, and they had.

held him at the front of the store till I arrived to confirm my identity. I was obviously sick and the manager seemed less than happy about being exposed to me. I would not be a member of Costco any longer or they would have given me a free membership or something. There's no way I would have. I mean, that is, bless your heart, Todd. I would not have gone in. I said, I'm sick. That is my son.

Let him purchase. him go ahead and spend money at your freaking store and uh then uh then we'll talk i mean it's just unbelievable that they would do that and i that would i would be so angry and so upset i would i don't know what i would do um and todd said you know he loves the show too so i mean thank you appreciate it but you may not love the show now because i'm calling say top i would doubt have gone in man i mean i understand you thinking he had to go in uh because uh you know you didn't want to get, you know, you didn't want to get arrested by the Costco police or have your son, you know, held down by the Costco SWAT team at the front door while they were waiting for someone to show up

to prove that this Costco card wasn't stolen. Uh, it's just incredible to me. Uh, that, holy cow, these, you're already, I, I just am amazed that you're, I'm paying to go into this building and you're still going to treat me or someone I've given my card to like that.
