And now
Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher
So I saw a story a while back
about
bugs on a sofa
in Singapore
from IKEA.
Bugs on a sofa and Singapore
from IKEA.
Anyway,
I just kind of dismissed it
because sure from time to time
you're going to find maybe
a sofa that has some bugs in it.
I mean, who among it?
So I didn't think much of it.
I was like, okay, somebody had some bugs in a sofa,
and they're trying to, you know, collect some money from IKEA,
and they probably will.
However, then I see a story about IKEA and using bugs for their food.
Now, we've talked about it at length on this show
about how they want us all to eat bugs.
The UN has been pushing it for a long time,
and it's getting closer and closer to it making it available to everyone
and forcing you to eat bugs
as food, you know, to save the planet.
Well, it's come to my attention that a company called Space 10,
it's a Copenhagen-based Future Living Lab,
has set up a collaboration with IKEA,
and has been experimenting with what a sustainable fast food menu
of the future might look like.
And they're betting on, you guessed it, bugs.
Now, a spokesperson for a spokesperson for a space,
Space 10 stresses, hey, hey, hey, there are no current plans to replace IKEA's iconic
Swedish meatballs with an insect-filled version.
Uh-huh.
Now, they recently conjured up the old neat ball and the bug burger in their test kitchen, both of which
include mealworms.
Yum.
A yum.
So maybe some of them got out and.
got into the sofas that they were selling in Singapore.
I don't know.
I don't know, but IKEA, no.
Stop it, all right?
I don't necessarily, you know, go to IKEA for my furniture shopping,
but many people do around the world.
And I know that people just love the IKEA meatballs when they go to IKEA.
But I don't want an IKEA neatball or a bug burger.
Okay, and I realize there are no current plans to replace the Swedish meatballs with insect-filled versions, but I'm not sure I believe it.
Welcome!
Welcome to Chewing the Fat.
Okay, so the headline says, four-ton piece of Chinese space rocket falls on Texas.
Wait, what?
I mean, that's the part of the planet I live on.
pretty close to that.
As a matter of fact, I'm exactly in Texas.
So apparently, this four-ton piece of Chinese space junk
made an uncontrollable freefall to Earth last week.
Now, according to this,
I burned up into the atmosphere.
They don't, but they don't know if anything hit the ground or not.
They say, on the 8th of March, 2023,
remnants of a Chinese rocket that delivered a trio of military,
military spy satellites
disintegrated over Texas.
Huh. So pieces
of the long march rocket
punched through the atmosphere
at over 17,000
miles per hour and
then disintegrated.
According to satellite tracking
data, the falling debris was
a piece of space junk in
low Earth orbit before it made
an uncontrollable re-entry.
The debris came
from 135-foot-long
Changsend 2D rocket capable of carrying about 8,000 pounds of cargo, lower Earth orbit.
Yeah, yeah, we knew that it went up.
Went back.
It went up in June or something.
We knew it went up to carry stuff.
And they remember the satellite launch center that the one space satellite just crashed
to Earth not long ago from China.
I don't know what China is doing, but maybe we ought to just tell them, hey, why don't
you calm down a little bit, okay?
Because your space debris is starting to hit the Earth.
Earth. It came down
the one
what was it that hit the
Indian low in the ocean? It was the
space station I think. Right there
first space station that they lost control of.
Yes. It crashed into
into the Pacific
Ocean. So, you know,
here's a deal, China.
Stop putting stuff in space.
We're going to figure out a way to get rid of some space
junk and we've got, you know, thousands
of satellites orbiting the
globe at different
altitudes and we need to find a way to get rid of them. But for now, I know you're building your
own space station. I know you think if you land down the moon, you're going to take up some property
on there. Wrong. It's ours. And so, and you're not quite sure how to control your space debris
once you get it up there. So let's go ahead and put a pause on that bad boy. Okay. We've got that
settled. All right. Good. Thank you. Oh, boy, here we go. We've got Northeaster coming across the
northeast now. Some airports were closed and I think they've opened some back up. But if you're
stuck at an airport, sorry. Thanks for listening to Chewing the Fat. Make sure you tell your friends and
neighbors to listen to chewing the fat while you're stuck at the airport because that's what you want
to do. You just want to listen to a podcast while you're stuck in an airport. I do anyway.
I mean, what else are you going to do? You're going to listen to all the dinkleberries
around you complaining about not being able to catch their flight.
So, I mean, be careful.
They've got the North Easter coming up there.
We've got a huge snowstorm with, you know,
inches of heavy wet snow coming to New York.
And because that's the hub of media,
you're going to be hearing all about it.
There's going to be power outages in New York
and New Jersey and Pennsylvania throughout the Northeast.
And so have fun.
Be ready to complain.
about flights being canceled and thousands of people being stranded.
Then out west, we have the atmospheric river.
It's been raining like crazy in California.
It really has.
I mean, good for them.
They finally are done with the drought.
I hope some of it hits the desert.
So Lake Mead can catch some of the runoff and, you know,
raise a little bit of the water issues that have been going on.
I hope that gets into the groundwater.
I know that we're supposed to be,
well, that's not the same.
You know, just because it's flooding
and there's, you know, an excess of water
from the atmospheric river.
It's not the same.
It takes a while for the water to get into the ground wells.
Yeah, we know.
But maybe not just let it run off back into the ocean.
Maybe you have some way to capture that water
and use it, you know, in the future.
And apparently,
La Nina is ended.
So, I mean, we're done with the weather pattern.
So stronger hurricanes and the drought in the West is over because Elanina is over.
Good.
Good.
I know that we're going to end up having to use the snow plows that all have names.
That'll be happy.
The kids will be happy.
You know, I know that some of its appalities in the Northeast,
have caught on to naming their snow plows.
You know, like in New York, they've named a forget about it.
But it's only, it's called forget a plow it.
Oh, so terrible.
So terrible.
And so, you know, I, everybody, you know,
in Wisconsin made the big deal every year about naming their snow plows.
And some places have named storage sewer grates and garbage trucks
and all under the guise of,
increasing public awareness of the services available and the workers who perform them.
Okay.
All right.
Sure.
If you want to do that, if you want to have kids, name your garbage trucks to let them
know that it's so important to the municipalities.
Great.
Have a good time.
It all started back in Scotland, I'm told, where a primary school contest wanted to name
the gridders, which are snow plows.
and now all 240 plows operated by Transport Scotland now have names.
I don't know if they're as good as plow-y-Mcplow face or forget a plow.
But they'll be out working in the Northeast.
You can count on that.
They'll be out there taking care of some business, not business, but business in this cold weather.
and if you are up there or out west with the atmospheric river, stay safe.
And I'm sure there'll be plenty of news that you can tag me on on social media.

but you can order your, if I could spit it out, you could do it. You could order a cameo.
And I'll be happy, sad, glad, mad, whatever you'd like. That's because cameo is, you know,
my pimp. And I'm doing the work. Every time I think of that, I think that my bet you
the cameo is so proud.
That I consider them my pimp.
So at Jeffrey JFR on Cameo.
Oh, and for those of you listening live,
today is the 14th of March, 2023.
It's pie day.
So get your pie.
Happy pie day.
Now, does that mean that you're going to get a pizza pie?
or does that mean that you get a pie?
But I guess there's plenty of restaurants out there offering up deals on either pizzas or pies because 314 is pie day.
So go out and enjoy a piece.
It's also White Day.
I don't know that I've ever heard of this.
I was looking up, somebody sent me a link to White Day, which I, you know, I know.
I don't look at me like that.
It's what it's called.
I didn't call it that.
I didn't come up with the name.
But it's entitled White Day.
And its definition is in those countries where Valentine's Day is observed by women giving gifts of chocolate to those they love, is there such a country?
I don't think so.
I think they've got that turned around.
So in those countries where Valentine's Day is observed by women giving gifts of chocolate to those they love,
White Day is the day they get the return on that investment.
Right, because Valentine's Day, man, is huge with women giving gifts of chocolate to those they love.
Uh-huh.
So if you're in one of those countries around the world, then today is white day.
And you should give marshmallows or white flowers or something like that.
I guess this got started in Japan back in the 70s, but I think we are past that.
now. Maybe it still exists. If you live in Japan, you can let me know chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
I want to know, you know, if you give flowers, white chocolate, lingerie, jewelry, other gifts to those women who they received gifts from a month earlier.
But I'm confused because I thought Valentine's Day was when women
get things.
And according to this,
White Day
is observed
because Valentine's Day
is women giving
gifts.
This is a made-up day. I'm sorry.
This is a made-up day. Never mind.
Let's go to the break room.
I need something called
to drink desperately.

Well, he's at it
again. A man who has filed
multiple class
action lawsuits regarding
various products is at it again.
He's suing
Buffalo Wild Wings.
Why you ask? Well,
Buffalo Wild Wings is being
sued by this man because he
says their boneless wings
are not wings at all.
They're really chicken nuggets.
Uh, really?
Thank you.
I mean, I get it.
Okay, they're chicken nuggets,
but they just call them boneless wings.
We got it.
But the lawsuit filed over the weekend.
The man accuses Buffalo mild wings of false advertising.
He says the name boneless buffalo wings
would mean they are deboned buffalo wings.
But he says they are, instead,
slices of chicken breast meat, deep fried like wings.
Yeah, that's what they are.
Anyway, the lawsuit calls on Buffalo Wild Wings to change the name of the product or indicate on the menu that the food is chicken breast meat.
I don't know what this guy's deal is.
I'd like to talk to him.
I really would.
I'd like to talk to him to think about what his deal is.
It's kind of a, you know, this is a joke.
This is a stand-up comedy joke that, of course they're not wings.
They're chicken nuggets.
We don't have anybody plucking the bucking the bucking.
out of these wings and then serving them to you.
I'd like to know why he thinks that's worth a lawsuit,
and he must have some extra cash laying around.
I don't.
I don't have extra cash to sue companies
because I already know that the person...
Well, here's the deal.
All right, well, I got to lay this on the ground, too.
All right, I may be a little biased.
I have a person in my family that works at Buffalo Wild Wicks.
I know. I know.
and I'm very familiar with the Buffalo Wild Wing products.
So I already knew.
I already knew that the boneless wings weren't really wings.
I knew that even if I didn't know someone that works at Buffalo Wild Wings.
But I do.
And I also do know.
So do do, I guess.
You know, whatever.
It's just silly to me.
that this, we have to take this to the courts.
But okay, all right, good luck, good luck.
And what happens?
All right, so Buffalo Wild Wings says,
okay, our boneless wings are not real wings.
Try our boneless wings that aren't real wings.
I don't, I don't, what difference does it make?
It's just, it's just silly.
I see where Playboy is getting to relaunch its magazine as it takes on OnlyFans.
Okay, now we're getting somewhere.
So they're relaunching its iconic magazine as a digital first publication.
It's taking on OnlyFans.
The revamped magazine, which shuttered, I mean, in 2020, they stopped printing magazines,
and they pretty much shut it down.
So the online platform that they started, I think last year, which they are creating now is a creator platform, which the brand is selling as an elevated, safe, and exclusive alternative to only fans.
Now, instead of Playboy Bunnies, you'll have Playboy creators.
Big difference, right?
And they'll post adult and non-adult content on their pages.
Give subscribers exclusive access into their lives and grace the magazine's online covers.
Now, they have the cover of the new magazine with Playboy creator Amanda Cerny.
She apparently is going to grace the first digital cover.
And as Playboy marks the magazine's comeback, that's congratulations to Amanda Cernie,
who claims to have made more than a million dollars as a Playboy creator,
using the beta version of the platform called Centerfold,
which is actually a pretty good name.
Because, yeah, they started it last year.
I thought I read a story about them starting at last year with Cardi B.
And they wanted a place for creative freedom, artistic expression,
and sex positivity.
Of course.
It sounds great.
How about you just, you know, post yourself.
naked and somebody will pay for it.
I mean, that's what we're doing, right?
No, no, we're not doing that at all.
Okay, what are we doing?
We are creating freedom, artistic expression, and sex positivity.
Okay, all right, good.
I'm glad.
That makes me happy.
So, but we're not going to call it centerfold anymore.
The chief brand officer, Rachel Weber, we're putting the power of
content creation in the hands of the creative community and giving them the tools to interact
with and monetize their fan bases directly.
Big difference, though, between OnlyFans and Playboy is that while anyone could become
an OnlyFans creator, yeah, that's why it's worked so well.
Playboy's creators have to apply and be accepted by its editorial team.
So good for you.
Good luck.
God bless.
being accepted by Playboy.
You can subscribe and pay to view adult and non-adult contact.
You'll be able to message the models,
and I'm sure they're going to get right back to you.
You'll be getting special access to their daily lives,
and they're not going to call it centerfold anymore.
It's just going to be Playboy.
Now, here's a million-dollar idea for you.
This is from me to you now.
Okay, and this is just me thinking off the top of my head that you should start a, maybe I'll do it.
I should start my own website, my own version of Playboy and OnlyFans.
Only mine would be, I got turned down by Playboy.com.
And so if you apply to Playboy and they say, oh, yeah, no, you cannot become a Playboy creator.
come on over to chewing the fat.
And I'll put you up under the chewing the fat logo.
I got turned down by Playboy.com.
And maybe congratulations are in order to the Oscars.
They had the biggest audience since, you know, three years ago.
18.7 million viewers, which really isn't much for the Oscars.
but it's a 12% jump from last year's Oscars.
And so, you know, they had more people watching.
So good for them.
Congratulations.
They had more people.
I told you it was kind of a boring Oscars.
But I see the season finale of The Last of Us on HBO.
8.2 million viewers.
And that was going on at the same time as the Oscars.
I mean, even Kimmel said when he introduced Pedro Pascal,
who was a presenter at the Oscars,
He talked about people watching Pedro either on HBO or Disney because he's the Mandalorian as well.
So, I mean, he's had some big audiences drawing for him.
So Pedro was, had a lot of people looking at him, whether it be The Last of Us, the Mandalorian, or the Oscars.
I see where The Last of Us, you know, was a huge hit for HBO Max.
Season 2 has already been.
They re-upped and said they bought season 2, I think, after the second or third episode.
of this season.
The first season, I really enjoyed the heck out of it.
I wasn't familiar with the game.
Fortunately, I had my son, my youngest son,
who played the game and loved the game,
and was he said that the first season
followed the game really well.
And it ended like the first game.
And so the second game, I guess,
had some detractors.
Some people were happy with it.
Some people were not happy with it.
And then we have a third season.
So we'll see what happens with the last of us.
The way I wrote the second,
season already in my head and already what I told my son apparently is wrong.
I watched it, I watched the final episode yesterday. I didn't watch it while the
Oscars on. Sorry, Last of Us. You know, you got my view, but you didn't get it during the Oscars.
And I thought that I already wrote, well, the way it ended then season two has to be about
this and this is the way
it has to go and apparently
I was wrong so
I guess I wrote it differently than them
they should call me
or email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com
because I
you know my season would be an
excellent season as well
and it would piss the gamers off
because my season obviously would be different than what
the game was. Not going to happen
but I can wish

All right, so who died today? Who died today? Masatashi Ito, M-A-T-O-S-A-T-O-O-S-A-O-T-O-O-E-O-E-O-E-O-J-E-E-O, a Japanese billionaire who took
7-Eleven convenience stores global has passed away at the age of 98 wow the 7-Eleven guy now I know the chain is
headquartered in DFW and about a quarter of the world's 83,711s are located in Japan
2,881 in Tokyo alone so he succeeded in
making 7-Eleven the place to grab, you know, mustard and batteries.
That's some twinkies and milk, twinkies and diapers.
And so, very sad.
Masatashi Ito, the founder, idea man behind 7-Eleven dead at the age of 98.
Now, Senator Mitch McConnell, who did not die.
He's not in our Who Died Today segment.
However, he's 81, and he fell last week, suffered a concussion as he tripped and fell at a private dinner at the Waldorf Astoria.
Wow.
And I guess he broke or cracked a rib, too.
So he was just released from the hospital.
Now, he's not expected to return to the Senate this week.
I know that senators are, you know, scheduled to vote on some stuff.
he had a minor rib fracture as well.
So his concussion, I guess recovery is proceeding well.
He's discharged from the hospital.
However, he's not going home.
He's going to a rehab center.
So the Senator Mitch McConnell is not going to go home.
He can't bring nurses and rehab people to the house.
Got to be worse than what they're saying.
So he's going to an inpatient rehab facility
before he returns home.
Okay.
I know that they're thankful for the skilled medical care,
prayers and kindness they've received.
But, I mean, we have, we got Federman in a hospital
because of depression.
Uh-huh.
We've got Diane Feinstein, you know, running around
not knowing who she is or where she is half the time.
We've got plenty of people that are struggling.
in our Senate.
Well, I mean, those three in particular.
And maybe time to send them all to an inpatient rehab center.
But what do I know?
And then we had Mike Pence over the weekend.
I know I don't talk politics a lot on the show.
But these two stories with McConnell, not, you know, being the big deal was being
discharged from the hospital.
But they're sending them to a rehab place.
What have you heard about, you know, he's a multi-millionaire, rich guy senator,
going to a rehab center?
what's going on the wife doesn't want him home i don't understand you know i can't have those rehab people
traipsing in and out of the house i'm busy okay all right no problem so anyway mike pence is in trouble
because he made a joke against pete buddhajed that bastard so he was at the gridiron club dinner
in washington for journalists and politicians and he mocked pete buddage you
Son of a gun.
Mike Pence said the former vice president,
probably a presidential candidate soon.
Good luck with that, Mike.
He said he took two months' maternity leave,
whereupon thousands of travelers were stranded in airports.
The air traffic system shut down,
and airplanes nearly collided on our runways.
Pete is the only person in human history
to have a child and everyone else gets postpartum depression.
Bo Bo Bo.
Boom.
Come on.
That is just stupid.
And now the White House wants an apology.
Shut up.
It was just a joke.
And by the way, it wasn't the only joke about Pete taking maternity leave.
And you'd think as a government official, the head of the Transportation Secretary, when there were problems, I know that he,
was on maternity leave, but you'd think that he would come back and actually do his job.
But nope, he didn't.
So there's that.
I see where meta, this just didn't very sad, really.
Zuckerberg said he's going to get rid of 10,000 employees in the second round of job cuts at Facebook meta.
Well, that's not good.
That is not good at all.
Now, they just announced that they're going to stop creating
and selling NFTs for Facebook and Instagram.
I mean, that was, it's been, what,
has it even been a year since we started doing NFTs?
I don't think so.
Maybe a couple years, tops.
But he said that they were going to stop creating the NFTs for Facebook and Instagram.
Oh, and by the way, we're going to let go of another 10,000 employees.
Oh, okay, thanks.
I still want to do a show in downtown Metaverse.
So make that happen, Mark.
You've got some more time on your hands.
You don't have to worry.
You've got a lot of less employees to worry about.
That does not make me feel happy.
I don't want people to lose their jobs, especially at Facebook.
I mean, it's such a huge company.
And holy cow, they're still trying to hang on 10,000 employees.
That's a lot of people.
And bless their hearts, I wish them the best because I know they work for Facebook and
Instagram and all of that.
I'm sorry, meta, but I don't want people to lose their jobs.
And especially at a place like that, that's not good.
It's not good at all.
You can quote me on that, by the way.
That's not good.

So I did not know that zebras are not considered exotic animals in Ohio.
Okay.
So there's a farmer in Ohio that has zebras.
I don't know if people stop by and see him.
I don't know if he sells them to zoos.
If he's thinking that zebras are the new horses of America.
If it was looking to sell zebra meat, I don't know.
I don't know the story behind it.
All I know is there was a large male zebra that was pissed.
And they don't know why the large male zebra was pissed.
But the police were called about 5.30 in the afternoon on Sunday.
and the county sheriff showed up and they found the man in a fenced field lying on the ground.
And there's one large male zebra pissed, acting aggressively.
So the sheriff department shows up and, you know, they see the guy laying in the field and there's the zebra.
And so they pull in and they try to block the guy from the guy.
The zebra.
The zebra was having none of that.
The zebra was pissed.
I have not seen any of the dash cam or vest cam footage, but I can't wait to see it.
Because then the zebra was pissed.
So the zebra starts charging the sheriff deputies.
Now they turned the lights on and the horns and the sirens.
And the zebra just looked at them and you think that's going to skisps.
hear me? I don't think so. And put the cigarette out and charge the deputies and the first
responders. So the ambulance was there too. And he kept charging. And finally, the deputies were
having none of it. And they said, all right, zebra. And the zebra kept coming. So they put him down.
Wow. Okay. So I guess the guy is fine. He's in the hospital. He's expected to
recover. No other injuries to humans or animals were reported. I don't know if any of the zebra
spoke with the deputies saying, yeah, he's crazy. He's always been crazy. No one ever liked that
particular zebra anyway. We'll find out more as the days go on, but I cannot wait for the dash cam
and a vest cam footage from the bad zebra in Ohio. So we talked about the flight to the
Luce Sanzah flight from Austin, Texas to Frankfurt, Germany that ran into significant turbulence
on the first of this month, causing chaos for those on board.
The Airbus A330 flying over Tennessee, altitude of 37,000 feet.
It was diverted to make emergency landing at Washington, Dallas International Airport.
Remember, Matthew McConaughey's wife was on the plane, along with many other passengers,
who shared footage of the tumultuous scenes.
I mean, it was, there was, it was chaos on the plane.
All right.
And so it was amazing.
So officials said seven people on board the flight were taken to local hospitals after
Atlanta, Virginia, and said the injuries were believed to be minor.
Okay, good.
One of those who faced physical repercussions was Rhonda Schmidt, who spoke to the insider.
She accused the staff of trying to urge passengers to,
to delete all photos and videos of the incident.
Now, she banged her head twice,
once on the tray table case,
the seat of front of her,
when the plane first dropped,
and then again, when they ascended abruptly,
causing her to fly out of her seat and hit the ceiling.
You ought to add your seat belt on.
That's all I'm saying, Rolanda.
I called you Ronda,
and I apologize, your name is Rolanda.
Okay, should add your seat belt on.
That's not the airlines fall.
Anyway, well, it happens so fast,
There wasn't time to put the seatbelt on.
That I believe.
I know.
So it felt like we were in the eye of a tornado.
And it would not stop.
I thought we were going down.
Yeah.
McConaughey's wife said the same thing.
It was really bad.
So it was in one of those moments
where within five to ten minutes of processing,
you know you were going to die.
And we didn't know we were going to make it safely anywhere.
So when they landed and they finally,
everything was shaken, your body's shaken.
You finally, you know, to get the emergency,
landing. All right, we're all fine. We're going to
land this thing. Don't worry, we're going to land
and we're fine. Take it easy.
And there's crap everywhere.
And Rolanda says that the cabin
crew members made an announcement
a couple of times and
said, yeah, could you
excuse me, we're going to land
at Dulles. Now we've got
emergency landing if you'd be so kind
as to delete all the pictures
and videos from your phones.
Uh, no, not doing that.
Uh, she said, uh, then, then they did it again.
Uh, so we want to protect the passengers' privacy.
Uh, so we don't want pictures of, uh, all the passengers.
So if you don't mind, uh, please go ahead and delete all your pictures and videos of the happening.
Uh, that's a good move for the airlines.
Uh, yeah, no, we don't want to, it's a personal privacy.
We don't have pictures of people.
So you want to go ahead and delete all those pictures of, uh, the damage that took place.
Um, um,
No?
How about no?
We're going to go ahead and keep that as evidence.
Okay?
It actually happened.
We want every picture we could possibly have of this happening.
And some of the pictures were devastating.
I mean, you just see how bad it really was.
But a few people, we're going to go ahead and land.
We're going to go ahead and land in Dulles.
And go ahead and turn those phones on and go ahead and delete.
You know, the phones you've already have on?
Yeah, go ahead and leave them on.
and go ahead and delete all the pictures and videos that you have.
Thank you.
Thank you for flying loose in the air.
Yeah.
How about no?
And I'll leave you with a thought for the day.
Something for you to remember.
It's a quote from Mark McLaugh.
And we've said it many times on this show, something similar to this.
But Mark's quote makes me think, you know, that's something that we need to remember.
every single day. The next time you see someone enjoying something that isn't hurting anyone,
that's not your cup of tea, instead of saying something negative, train yourself to think to
yourself, I'm glad they're happy, and carry on with your life. Think about it.
