Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Well, the results are in. We know that snowplows are essential for winter in Minnesota. Duh. They're essential wherever there's winter.

Even here in Texas, where this show originates from, I think Texas has like half a snowplow. So when it snows, I mean, you get a little bit of snow removed and the rest everybody just stays. home and says, nope, it's winter, it's icy, there's snow, can't go anywhere, sorry. But when you live up north, in the northern part of the United States, say Minnesota, for example, you have to get out and actually go about your day. So they decided a couple of years ago, I think back in 2020, they were going to start naming snow plows. And it was a contest and they let people vote to name

their snow plows. It was part of the Minnesota Department of Transportation. planned to, I don't know, let people know how important snowplows are. And man, we all know snow plows are important, don't we? Of course we do. So the votes are in.

And the votes for this year's snowplow contest goes like this. Number one, big surprise, Taylor Drift. More about Taylor later in the show as she she was a huge of the Grammys last night. Snowplow number two, Clark W. Bliswold.

Snowplow number three, Dally Ploutin. Snowplow number four, the Dakota word for snowplow. Why epihinta? I think that's, I'm not Dakota. I know that comes as a surprise. Why epi hinta? It's, uh, so I guess that's what it's called. So when you see the snow.

Plow, if you happen to be, you know, passing through Minnesota, or you live there, and you in District 8 of Southwest Minnesota, and you see, why Epahinta? You know, that's Dakota for Snowplow. A Beyonce is in District 4. You're killing me squalls in District 6. Fast and Flourious is District 7. Barbie's Dream Plow, is the Metro District. those are the winners for this year's

24 name a snow plow contest there were like 49 entrances of names and I like some of them blizzard buster Beauty in the Blade dashing through the snow snowmageddon I mean come on those are good names but they're not good enough to make the list this year

so congratulations to all the winners of the Minnesota snowplow contest 2024. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. You know, speaking of snowplows, I know that Minnesota said that they got the idea from Scotland, I guess, but there are plenty of states now that are copycadding Minnesota and or Scotland. You know, like I know, I saw New Mexico launched its first name of snowplow contest this winter. They had 1,500 submissions, 20,000. 3,000 votes to name 12 of the state's 400 plows. I know that comes to a surprise. New Mexico has 400 snow plows. That was more of news.

Anyway, the winners included Sleetwood Mac, kind of like that, Mr. Snow and Billy the Skid. I got like, some of them are pretty good. Lincoln, Nebraska held snowplow naming contest this year. They had Cleopatra. That's awesome. That's pretty good. And so, you know, remember the snowy McPlough face is a, you know, favorite of many contests.

And it harkens back to remember the British polar research vessel, Boady McBoat face that garnered all the votes? And then they decided, uh, you know what? We don't like that. Uh, sure, we give you, you, you can name it. We'll have a contest, but, you know, we don't like it. Oh, okay. So in Minnesota, they have 800 snow plows. So they've got a ways to go yet to.

to name every snowplow. So if your city, town, or state is having named the snowplow contest, you're not the first and you probably won't be the last. And as long as we are touching on weather, I see where roughly 37 million Californias were under flood watches and warnings across the state as an intense storm system began pushing inland while moving southward from the greater San Francisco region. And wind gusts at some places were reaching 85 miles an hour knocked out power to at least 860,000

customers up and down the coast, while more than 100 flights out of San Francisco were canceled. Now, California faced this historic string of nine consecutive atmospheric river systems. I love.

I love calling storm. systems, atmospheric river systems. And so they, you know, obviously it's going to restore depleted water supplies. And it left, man, some people lost their lives. Right now they claim at least 20 people lost their lives because of these storms. I don't know if these people were homeless or what happened to them. I don't know. They might have been hit by a boulder.

I saw last night on X where Reed Timmer, Ph.D., at Reed Timmer, Acu, No, now his bio says extreme meteorologist, inventor, and storm chaser, intercepting the most powerful storms on the planet. I'm driven to push the science and its education forward. Reed Timmer, Ph.D. I don't know if he, apparently he is covering the atmospheric river systems. But he had posted on X last night, a picture of a giant boulder blocking a road in Ohio, California,

But the post read large boulder the size of a medium boulder in the road. Wait, what? Yeah, a large boulder, the size of a medium boulder in the road south of Ohio, California. Now, I will say he posted a picture of it, and it looked, I guess, like a large boulder, the size of a medium boulder in the road. So you got it, Reed Timmer, PhD, you got it. Okay, I guess congratulations are in order to Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes. They're ditching their Amazon podcast deal, which was worth, I think, $60 to $80 million. And they signed a new deal with Sirius XM.

That Sirius XM deal is worth... $100 million on a three-year deal. The popular podcast, Smartless, so congratulations to them. Sirius gained exclusive rights to the podcast as part of a larger deal with Smartless Media. Sirius will hold advertising and distribution rights, content and events for the podcast, and other select shows. I mean, Sirius has been doing some, a few podcast, Serious business. Not business, but serious. Now, they're, you know, trying to battle, you know, Amazon and Spotify,

but I saw where more congratulations are in order. To Joe Rogan, he has secured a new multi-million dollar contract with Spotify, reportedly valued at $250 million, ensuring the continuation of the Joe Rogan experience. who knows if these numbers are real, but the three-year deal, including minimum guaranteed fee and a share of advertising revenue.

So it might not be $250 million. It might be, you know, $100 million with the opportunity with ads to reach $250 million. Who knows? Still a good deal. It also expands the podcast availability beyond Spotify to platforms

like Apple, Amazon Music, and YouTube. I know so people are still wound up. That Joe Rogan, we hate him. We love them. the smartless podcast, though, because, you know, they talk to President Joe Biden on that show. It's, oh, oh, really? Yeah.

Yeah, they did. And they also, I mean, they're big stars themselves, so they have access to other big stars like Bradley Cooper, you know, Idris Alba and Pedro Pascouts and Lena Gomez. I mean, they have access to all these, uh, stars. And those stars will sit down with them and, uh, it's worth, you know, a lot of money. So congratulations to all involved in their new podcast. podcast domain. I would like to say to

Sirius XM and Spotify, although you can still, you can hear this program Chewing the Fat over Spotify. I do not have a deal with Spotify. So, I mean, my deal is

as with the Blaze right now. But hey, Sirius, and Spotify, you know what? We could talk. We could talk. And just reach out.

Happy, happy, happy to talk. Until then, I guess I'll have to see if I can hit the lotto. I see where there has been no winner on the Mega Millions or the Powerball. Now, the Powerball, that drawing is tonight. For those of you listening live, today is a, Monday, the 5th of February, 2024. The Powerball drawing is worth $214 million jackpot, 105.7 cash payout.

That drawing is tomorrow, Tuesday, the 6th of February. 2024 so we got that to at least hope for a little all right let's go to the break room i need something called to drink desperately with amex platinum 400 dollars 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. So the 66th annual Grammy Awards were last night, and Taylor Swift taking home the show's

top prize of album of the year for Midnights, the win was Swift's fourth in the category, pushing her past Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon, and Stevie Wonder for the most in Grammy history. And she announced her next album, Tortured Poets Society, during her acceptance. which is going to be out April 19th. I'm surprised it's not April 13th. But hey, it's going to be out April 19th. Miley Cyrus won her first ever Grammy for Flowers. I love that song.

Best pop solo performance. Billy Ileish, who won Song of the Year for Barbie soundtracks. What Was I Made for? And R&B songwriter turned singer Victoria Moni, who won Best New Artist. Congratulations to all the winners. I see where Jay-Z went off on the Grammys. because the wife has never won album of the year.

She's got the most Grammy, but she hasn't won the album of the year. So he's up there with his daughter. He accepted some, I don't know, Dr. Dre Award. Congratulations to him for achieving a lifetime achievement. You know, love you, love Dre, love everybody, got it. I see that the beginning, Trevor Noah hosted again, which was, you know, beautiful. So I looked through all the.

this red carpet photos. I saw the, the Miley Cyrus, the Miley Cyrus conspiracy theory of her of her bodyguard carrying the umbrella because his arm didn't move.

He's walking through a crowd. Down to red carpet. He's carrying a giant umbrella. You don't swing it back and forth. It's just silly. They had to stop the red carpet arrivals for a little while because of pro-Palestine protest.

You'd think that the Grammys would be all for that, but no. No, they were not. They stopped the red carpet arrivals until they could shut those damn protesters down. We won't have any of that. You hear me? This is the Grammys, damn it. And then Killer Mike, after he won his Grammys,

he was arrested. I mean, you know Killer Mike. Don't look at me like that. He, uh, Michael Santiago Render. best known as, I mean, you know him as Killer Mike. He was awarded Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance for Scientists and Engineers, and Best Rap Album for Michael. Incredible.

Scientists and Engineers features Andre 3,000, Future, and Aaron Allen Kane. And it was the first Grammy in more than two decades. So, awesome. Good for him. Congratulations to him. After winning the third award, the Atlanta-based rapper shouted, sweep Atlanta. It's a sweet.

He was all fired up. But then the police department showed up. The Los Angeles Police Department at the Crypto.com Arena. And for a physical alteration, the individual is currently being questioned. I cannot confirm the identity of the individual until the person is charged. The investigation is ongoing. I'll tell you, there's a phrase that I am sick of hearing. The investigation is ongoing.

Now, I guess if I'm the person being investigated, I'm happy that no information gets released because the investigation is ongoing. But I am sick of hearing that phrase. I'll tell you that. Especially from, maybe not the Los Angeles Police Department, but from this administration, our government officials, I am sick of hearing that phrase. The investigation is ongoing. The arena security said that he was detained for a reason that is unrelated to the Grammy Award. So we'll see what happens with Killer Mike as he was arrested after he won his three Grammys. Then last week, you know, we heard that Universal Music Group,

the world's largest music company representing artists, including Taylor and Drake and Adele and BTS, has announced it's going to no longer license music. to social video platform TikTok. That's pretty huge. The news comes as TikTok and UMG, which commands a third of the global music market, failed to reach new terms of a music licensing agreement after their previous contract expired last week.

So stickling points obviously were fair count compensation for UMG artists and songwriters, protection from AI generated content, and concerns over infringement and safety issues. UMG claimed TikTok, which, accounts for roughly 1% of its revenue. I find that hard to believe, but that's what they said. I've presented a new deal worth less than the previous one and lower than fair market

value. UMG also claimed TikTok's approach to AI-generated music would dilute royalties for human artists and songwriters. Yeah, no kidding. So roughly 60% of TikTok content features music, helping to drive discoverability and sometimes pushing songs to top the charts. Without a deal in place, TikTok's going to be forced to pull roughly 4 million songs associated with UMG from its platforms. And users will no longer be able to use those songs.

Now, I saw last night at the Grammys, of course it was a conversation. And I saw an interview with Moni Long. And, you know, the caption is, weighs in on universal music groups, dispute with TikTok. and it's 38 seconds long and it's really kind of, well, it's bumming is what it is. It's bumming. I think about anybody else,

but this is my real life and I really had to fight to get where I'm at and I think I have a tool like TikTok where I could just cut through the noise and people want my music. There's a demand for it. There's a space for it.

Yeah, so I think it's complicated. What's going on right now? They're saying it's going to be resolved soon. But yeah, artists like me who use TikTok to really like reach people, it's, it's kind of bumming. Yeah, it's kind of bumming. I can imagine for artists like you, uh, and many artists, and I do agree. It's kind of bumming. No doubt. It is. I mean, she doesn't want to go, you know, post on X because of the politics. Instagram maybe, uh, has less politics than X so she can use that.

But TikTok reaches a bigger audience, a bigger, you know, of her audience. No, no. No. doubt, which is why it's kind of bumming. Not just a bummer, but kind of bumming. I can't stop. You're not just bummed out. It's kind of bumming. Yeah, I'm bummed. No, it's kind of bumming. I'm bummed out. No, it's kind of bumming. You just bummed? No, kind of bumming. All right. I'll stop because it's becoming kind of bumming. things there were performances that were not kind of bumming. I mean, Miley Cyrus performed flowers, although she

took a hit. There were a lot of people saying that she was terrible. I didn't think so. It was Miley Cyrus. She tries to overperform all the time. That's what she does. And is she, you know, they're mad at her because she said, why are y'all trying to pretend you don't

know my song? So they started singing and then she said, I mean, that was a first Grammy. So, I mean, really, she's been a, You know, she's been a star for quite some time. That was her first Grammy. She won a couple last night. Congratulations to Miley.

So, you know, she took a beating for that, although some people fought back on her behalf. So, you know, it was good to see that. Then you had, I think, my favorite performance, although Joni Mitchell, I guess was great. I missed the Johnny Mitchell performance. And darn the luck. I wanted to be there for that, too.

Darn it. Oh, oh, man, did I want to be there for that, too? Oh, man, did I want to see it? But I didn't. I missed it. But I did see the Tracy Chapman, Luke Combs' performance of Fast Car. Awesome. Luke Combs did the cover.

And a year or two ago, something like that, it was awesome. It was a great big, huge hit. Paid Tracy homage for it. Did it out of respect for her because it was the first song that his dad had played for him in a car or something like that. Some story that he had. You know, who knows if it's real or not. It's just the story that he said, I'm sure it's real, Luke. I'm sure you wouldn't make up a story like that.

But their performance was awesome. The Luke Combs, Tracy Chapman, performance of Fast Car, was really good. And so I'll stop with the Grammys now because, well, it's kind of bumming.

Hearded Chewing the Fat that Carl Weathers had passed away at the age of 76. Man was that sad news. Now, apparently, he died in his sleep Thursday.

And we didn't get the news until Friday after I had recorded the show. Very sad. He was 76, Carl Weathers, Apollo Creed. I mean, The Predator, Mandalorian, Happy Gilmore, Axon, Jackson. I mean, just incredible. The guy was part of our lives for so long. And just an amazing man. And so, well, at least his work was for sure.

And everyone who commented about Carl was wonderful. I don't know. I saw a post from Sylvester Stallone on Friday that he posted on his Instagram, I believe. And as I'm watching it, I paused it before. I mean, it was like three or three. four seconds in, I pause it because I guess Sly is in his home. I don't watch

the, I don't watch his reality show or I haven't watched his reality show. So I don't know if this is, you know, his bar and his Florida home or his bar, wherever he lives. But he's standing at a bar. There's alcohol behind him. And there's this painting

it looks like of Rocky and Apollo Creed. And it is beautiful. And And it's just this huge wall-sized painting. It's beautiful. And I paused it and I went, wow, that painting is beautiful. Well, then Sly actually references it in his comments.

Hello, everyone. I'm so torn up. I can't retire. I'm just trying to hold hardweathers of my life, my success. No kidding. Everything about it the first time. I saw greatness, but I didn't realize how great. I never could have agreed it.

His voice, his size, his power, his athletic ability, but more importantly, his heart, his soul. It's, I'm standing here in front of this painting because it was probably the last moment we were ever in the rain together, and I'll never forget. I was so fortunate to be part of his life. So, Apollo. Rest in peace, Apollo Creed, Carl Weathers, dead at the age of 76. Now, they didn't say what he died from. So, I mean, it can't be that. Because if it was that, they would have told us, right?

I'm sure they would have. Now, he also was in this big deal with Rob Grankowski, the Grunk, for the Fandul kick of destiny, right? I mean, Gronk missed it last year. And that was a weird thing. Fan duel, I don't know how that, it was supposed to be live, and it didn't seem live. It was a weird thing.

But they were going to do it again. They were promoting it. And he was in the commercials. He showed up to save Grunk in the commercial for the Super Bowl campaign of the Kick of Destiny. He was, you know, he showed up as the Apollo Creed-esque coach that's going to help prepare Granc for the kick of destiny too. And so, you know, Grock was supposed to, you know, attempt to kick a field goal on Super Bowl

Sunday, which gives fans a fan. who placed a bet on Fanduels Sportsbook, a chance to win $10 million collectively. Now, is that still going to happen? I guess, you know, they said, Fandle said that they were going to adjust their campaign accordingly

because of the, you know, this sad news of the passing of Carl Weathers. You know, he had a profound impact on people he worked with on and off the screen, yeah. And so we are adjusting our campaign accordingly out of respect for the family during their time of grief. So I don't know what that means. I don't know if they're still going to do the kick of destiny.

If they're going to have, you know, Sly show up and pay him a bunch of money to show up and take his place. I don't know. And if it's going to, they better figure out how to do it right. If they're going to make Gronk have a kick live, make it appear live during the Super Bowl, rather than some kind of weird placement. And I don't know, it was just weird last year.

So Fandul, now that you have Carl Weathers' death to step on, do it right this year, or don't do it at all, okay? So rest in peace, Carl Weathers dead at the age of 76. Now, this isn't a who died today, but it is a who died. It's been five years. For those of you listening alive, like I said earlier in the show, it is the 5th of February. 2024. It has been five years since Doc Thompson has died. I mean, it's just, I cannot believe that it's been five years. Doc Thompson. I'll never forget getting the phone call before it was announced, before anyone knew telling me what happened. I didn't believe it. I still kind of don't

believe it, although I haven't seen him anywhere. So I guess I believe that he's actually dead, but I thought it was a bit. I swear, I mean, I've talked about it before, but I thought for sure it was a bit when I got the phone call it. Whatever, in the middle of the night, I was like, you know, I was told that, you know, he got hit by a train and he wasn't going to be, you know, there's no more Doc Thompson, no more Mojo.

He had already left the blaze and went over to Mojo to start his own thing. We were all, you know, kind of working together, trying to figure out what was happening. And I thought it was a bit. I was like, okay, all right. All right, so what's the end game of the bit here? When does he come back? When does he arrive?

What's the deal? And no, that was not the case. He was 50 years old and he was hit by a train. And just I miss him. You know, he's sad. There's been five years. Time passes so fast. Time waits for no one.

You can quote me on that. Time waits for no one. Very sad. I mean, even my kids. I mean, there are times when we start. stop. This is a, you know, inside baseball. We'll be stopped at a train track because trains are going by.

And you can't help but think a doc. You just can't. It's just, I mean, it's so sad and so, such a waste. And I hope, you know, his wife, his widow and the kids are doing fine. They say they are. I saw her post on X, thanking everyone. saying that they were fine and missing doc. So, I mean, it's very sad.

It's been five years, and it was just, it struck me today that it was five years ago. Holy cow, five years. And there were so much has changed in those five years from where we were at that it is, it is almost, it's almost incredible how much has changed since his death. And what fun we would have had. within those changes if he was still alive.

And we will never know the answer to that. So we just have to remember him as he was. So Michael Doc Thompson, dead at the age of 50, February 5th, 2019. Rest in peace, my friend. Rest in peace. At one point, I don't remember if I wrote a retrospective or not for Doc. This is retrospective. Today, Michael Doc Thompson.

His death was hit by a train. I mean, so much. I just take, you know, this has been retrospective. That was just incredible. So anyway, just say, you know, when you think of Doc Thompson, just smile and remember him in your wishes and your prayers and your thoughts and know that whatever is going on in the world,

he would find a way to make it funny and also be angry at the same time. I remember when we were first, I don't know, when we first knew each other, we were talking about stuff, or we were on the air, we were joking, we were doing something. And we found out that we were compadres at Clear Channel

because he was one of the other, clear channel host like myself at the time that were in trouble with the bicyclists of america because he made some joke about bicyclists and so did i because i remember when i did my bit and you know all the articles around the country was another clear channel host made the joke about bicyclists and so when it was the another clear channel host well the other was doc thompson so we had that in common. And it was just a joke, bicyclists, okay?

Just a joke. So, my joke, I even said it was a joke when I did the bit. It's just a joke. And it didn't matter. It didn't matter. I had the bicyclists of America on. I had them in the

studio. I apologized. I know I bent the knee. I was forced to bend the knee. That's when I decided not bent to the knee anymore. because during the interview, the guy even said, we know it was just a joke, Jeff, we know. But it's not funny because you said it was just a joke, but a lot of people feel that way.

How do you know? I said it was as a joke. A lot of people don't feel that way. It's just because I joked about, well, you know what ticks me off is driving on a roadway that doesn't really have a side, you know, an edge. So you got to go around the bicycles. And they have the same ride away as guys.

And so I'm driving on this road every day along Tampa Bay, the Bay of Tampa, Waterway. And there's big dirt along the side, but bikes, you know, it's tough for bikes to ride on that. So they ride on the road. And I just felt like at one point in my life, I just wanted to, I was driving a Dodge pickup at the time. Love that truck. It was in an accident when I hydroplane underbring. bridge almost went into the water, went in the same Tampa Bay. Maybe for the joke. A different bridge, though. Anyway, so I'm driving along and I just felt like driving to work that day. I wonder what would

happen if I just ding with my mirror. And just a joke. I would never do it. That's what started at all. It was just a joke. It was just a joke today. I'm just telling a story of the story that I told in the past because I don't want to, I mean, no one supports my cyclist more than me and this show chewing the fat. So you stay on the road and do your thing because that's, that's where you need to be. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you don't have to.

Oh, and that's not all. Round trip limo transportation is included. Plus, Taylor and Travis, get a VIP Platinum Lifetime membership to the Huster Club. That is awesome. So I would love to see that. You know, I know that I get that it's probably not going to happen, but it would

be fun to see it happen. Speaking of partying, too. This isn't really part of the Chewing the Fat, Fat Facts! I'm not going to have to make that. I might have to get a sounder for that. I see where Patrick Mahomes' father, Patrick Mahomes, Sr., has already started

to party for the Super Bowl. He was arrested for DWI for a third time, or maybe even more, really. He was driving while intoxicated. the 53-year-old father of Patrick Mahomes was arrested Saturday night in Texas and Bond was reportedly expected to be set later today. He was reportedly arrested back in 2019 for which he was sentenced to 40 days in jail.

He served the time on weekends to fulfill his requirement. It's a pretty wild time. Yeah, I know because the Super Bowl is right around the corner. He made waves earlier this month for joking he wouldn't sit next to take. Taylor Swift at the AFC Conference Championship game. Now it's unclear if you'll make it to the Super Bowl. Mahomes Camp did not comment. What is he going to say?

Yeah, you know, I wish my dad the best. Yes, you got a DWI. It happens. Sorry. And we'll, you know, we'll take care of. We'll take care of it. Don't worry. I'll pay the bail for my dad, okay?

I realize it's $10,000. Patrick spits at $10,000. So, I don't know, maybe he pays, maybe he doesn't. Maybe he keeps Dad in jail for the best, which would be best for everyone. I don't know. I just know that, man, you get, you're Patrick Mahomes and everybody around you is, you got to watch yourself, man. You can quote me on that.

You're Patrick Mahones and everybody around you. You got to watch yourself. You should know that, Pat. Just, you know, you should know that. All right, all right, I'll leave you with the joke and or thought of the day here. on chewing the fat, one that made me smile most of the weekend. On top of which, speaking of most of the week, I could not get that stupid song out of my head four non-blonds or whatever their stupid song is.

What's going on? The song is titled What's Up? and we played it on Pat's show on Friday. So before the show, Pat's putting it in the machine. So I heard it. So it's in my head. I think the top of my life is what's going on. I'm going to put it in your head now.

So then we play it during his overtime. So it's in my head there. And we sing it during overtime as well. So it's even more in my head. Then as I'm driving home, I'm listening to another radio show that does a bit every Friday. I joke as they call the show Pork and Beans, but it's a Markley Van Camp and Robbins radio show.

And they're on here in DFTW, and I know they're a syndicated show around the country, you know, whatever, but they're on here in Dallas. And I listen to them if I'm in my car when they're on. I think they're on 11 to 2 here in Dallas, maybe 11 to 3, I don't know, whatever they're on. And they do a bit on Fridays, where they play songs and they you know like one week it's because it's uh you know valentine's day

every song that has the word hard in it or love in it and and uh last friday was a women lead uh singers bands and so you know someone called in and uh and re and said you know i really think what four non blondes what's up and so they played part of it so it's in my head again i can't get it out of my head. So I'm singing that stupid song all weekend, along with laughing at the joke and or thought of the day. When I see lovers names carved in a tree, I don't think it's sweet. I just think it's surprising how many people bring a knife on a date. Just something to think and smile about. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content. at the blaze.com slash podcasts.
