Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. This never happens to me. I was reading a report, the morbidity and mortality weekly report. And man, I love that. It's a regular publication put out by the CDC.

And it reports authors that are affiliated with public health. And this story was out of Wisconsin. And at least 85 people. Now, this happened last year, but it, of course, never happens to me. At least 85 people were accidentally intoxicated with THC. After eating pizza, garlic bread, and sandwiches from a Wisconsin restaurant. Oh, okay. It's the famous Yeti's Pizza.

And apparently, they mistakenly, of course. accidentally. They unintentionally contaminated its food with THC. Yeah, and we immediately cooperated with the investigation. So, there you go. I mean, I just, am I willing to accidentally have some THC put into my pizza? Well, no, because it's wrong, darn it. I wouldn't want that at all.

Why doesn't it happen to me? I don't know. I don't know the answer to that. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. You know, speaking of drugs, and we've talked a lot about meth lately, thanks to the Hunter Biden interview.

Apparently, the police raided this Buddhist temple in Thailand, and they found that these monks were high on meth. Oh, I'm sorry, they weren't high on meth. They tested positive for meth. And they've been defrocked and sent to a rehabilitation center because they tested positive for meth. The operation occurred at this Sisekett province. I'm sure that's exactly how you pronounce it.

Following a community reports of unusual activity at the local temples. So they conducted urine tests at two temples, which confirmed that four of the monks had used the drugs. The monks later confessed, well, yeah, they were busted red-handed or red-peed, with one of his 60s saying he had taken two pills to relieve chronic pain. Uh-huh. And it became the reason that he was taking meth. Oh, okay.

Sure. We believe you. but now even monks are doing math at the temple. I mean, the mighty have fallen. And maybe that's a good thing. I mean, it is getting harder and harder to even cheat on your spouse any longer. I mean, you can't even go to a concert anymore with your girlfriend without getting busted. And then I see a story where a digital scale busted this lady's husband for cheating.

She was gone and came back and changed. checked the digital scale and there were back-to-back log-ins on this scale that weighed 120 pounds. She claims she does not weigh 120 pounds. So I guess the old hubby was taking care of a little bit while she was out of town. Now, she claims that her and her husband were separated and then they were back together because of his past infidelity, but they agreed not to see other people while working on themselves. Uh-huh. And that is definitely not what he planned on. So she was all wound up about these mysterious midnight measurements. And there were all kinds of people that commented on this

Reddit post. So is it true? Sure. It's on Reddit. It has to be true. But people were saying get rid of them. The plan is over. Back-to-back wait. It's pretty simple. He's moved on. Already hooking up with other women. No need to over. overthink this. One user said, hey, digital detective work. This is expert level sleuthing. Men underestimate our level

of intuition. When you confront him, he'll probably try to paint you as a crazy or paranoid. Maybe. Or maybe he'll just go, yeah, you're right, I've moved on, you're nothing. Remember the story about the one lady who busted her husband cheating

because of the ring cam. She was out of town and when she came home, after her trip, she checked the ring cam video and there was the girlfriend coming to the house. Like I said, it's getting harder and harder to cheat on your spouse. What is happening to America? Oh, oh wait, that's good and the only way to solve that maybe is to not cheat on your spouse? All right, if you say so. I mean, they claim divorce rates are down in the last 25 years. So maybe it's because more and more people realized that they could get busted doing it. And so they're not doing it or they're becoming better at it.

But if this story is true, the story that I did, I did a YouTube short on it today. You can go to my YouTube channel, two in the fat with Jeff Fisher. One in 10 adults in America have a net worth of at least a million dollars. Okay. So if that's true, that number is going to go down if divorce rates go up. I'll tell you that. Or maybe it would be more than one in ten if there were not so many divorces. They claim here that there are 24 million individual millionaires in the United States.

And that's first place on the globe, four times more than China, which is in second place. And that's also 15 times more millionaires than the United States. States had 30 years ago. But now they want to make you feel bad about it and say it's just, you know, really, you're not seeing what you're seeing. The money isn't what it used to be. Back 30 years ago when money was money. And you can't, the buying power isn't what it used to be.

And so many of the millionaires have their wealth tied up in long-term investments. And they can't access it. So sure, they're millionaires, but they can't get that money. So quit your whining about it. So look around, look around today. When you're out, I don't know, when you're out at the repair shop, when you're at the store, look around and you see 10 people, one of those 10 people is a millionaire, according to this. And I can guarantee you, and I promise you this, that when I look around, the one is not me.

I hope it's you. I hope you are the one, but I know I am not the one. I do have a lottery ticket in my wallet that I have not checked yet. So it's possible, highly unlikely, but it is possible that I could become the one soon. Very unlikely, though.

in jail terms of up to 11 years for snatching hundreds of ancient gold coins during a night raid robbery at a southern German museum. This happened back in 2022. I remember talking about this because they cut the cables

of the telecommunications hub to disable local networks, allowed them to get in and out of the building in nine minutes without triggering the alarm. They claim that all the gold coins that they stole were worth millions.

It was these Celtic gold coins that I guess were found at some archaeological, say that word correctly, archaeological dig in 1999. And so, you know, they were considered the biggest trove of Celtic gold found

in the 20th century. Now, most of the stolen treasure still missing. Oh, really? Yeah. But according to this, lumps of gold were found on one of the sussexes when he was arrested that appear to have resulted from part of the hall being melted down.

Weird. Okay. So there was a fourth guy and he was acquitted of involvement in the museum heist, but he got convicted for other thefts carried out by the group. According to this, the four defendants were accused of a total of 20 break-ins or attempted robberies in Germany and neighboring Austria, starting back in 2014. And they were were sealing safes and cash and cash machines everything and so the defendants didn't even address the charges it was a six-month trial and their lawyers were saying you got to acquit them we're not even addressing that no no they don't have to acquit them at all they were found guilty so the crime ring in germany and austria at least this particular crime ring from these four thieves has been

been put to an end. They have been sentenced to more than 11 years in prison. But, you know, whether they spent it all, they melted all the coins down and sold it and spent it, or they've got it buried somewhere and know where it's at. So maybe there, that's what they're looking forward to. Once they get out of prison, they go dig up the Celtic gold, and we move on with their lives. Make sure nobody's following you. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Wow, the contest has already started. It started the 23rd of July, and it runs through September 30th, which they say is a Tuesday. So the Postal Service, and they're busy celebrating their 250th anniversary, which we've talked about here on this show.

Congratulations to the USPS. You know how much I wanted to be postmaster General and now on the board of governors. And so, you know, when they have a big story, I have to talk about it. So they're introducing a stamp encore. It's a contest that lets the public vote to bring back a favorite stamp. Do you have a favorite stamp? Me too. Man, when I think of stamps, my favorites, man, you can.

There's so many, I can't even list them. So you can participate at the Stamps Forever website, or you can print out a paper ballot and mail it in. I'm sure you have to put a stamp on it to mail it in. I don't think they're going to soak up the bill for you mailing in the website. Okay, so more information is at the website. Stamps Forever website. The Postal Service has selected 25 stamp releases for participants to choose from.

Now, you can vote as often as you wish, and USPS employees may participate in the contest. So good news for everybody involved. No one has held back. Everyone can vote.

Transcontinental Railroad, Wonder Woman. Okay, and they're going to announce the winning stamp at the Boston 26 World Expo at the International Philatelic Exhibition. You heard me, the Philatelic Exhibition. Okay, that's a word related to the collection and study of posted stamps, and they're going to have that at the 2026 World Expo. So, man, what fun are we going to have there?

Huh? Oh, and speaking of a transcontinental railroad, I see we talked a little bit about the possibility of this happening, and it has happened. The Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern announced the $85 billion merger, creating the first coast-to-coast rail operator in the U.S. I... Okay, I'm pretty sure that happened another time in our history,

but okay, if you say so, sure. That's what happened. The combined company will retain the Union Pacific name, so Norfolk Southern, you're gone. And they've projected the value of $250 billion. It's going to unite 52,000 miles of track across 43 states, linking Union Pacific's Western Network

to Norfolk Southern's Eastern System. So that's great. in there. This merger is going to transform shipping and boost domestic manufacturing by streamlining logistics for goods ranging from grains to automobiles. Yeah, good. I mean, I get stopped by trains all the time coming in and out of Fort Worth. I'm happy. I love to see the coal cars coming in. Sometimes they're moving a little bit too slow. A little bit too slow. And then we get accidents all the time, dangleberries that are parked across the track when the train is coming. Here's the deal.

If there's railroad tracks, you might want to not stop on them. That's just a thought. I mean, most of the tracks today have the arms that come down. In the old days, out in the country, you don't have the arms. Maybe that's still true today. So I remember my dad 100 years ago was hit by a trade. It was in the country. You know, you didn't have the arms or any lights or anything.

You're just trying to, you know, you have to pay attention because those are the railroad tracks. Oh, yeah, no. He did survive because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt, and it threw him a couple hundred yards. So maybe you don't stop on the tracks, and maybe you look both ways before you cross the tracks if there are no arms coming down. Now they claim that they've got a file for regulatory approval.

Of course, they're going to get that. Duh. And of course, they have to have a decision from the surface transportation board. Okay, love them. And the labor unions expressed a concern about service disruption, higher rates and potential job losses,

though the company said all union jobs will be preserved. Yeah, yeah, don't worry about it. All the jobs are going to be preserved until the deal is done. And then we'll, then we're going to go ahead and we'll revisit that. sure that's what the union is worried about. Oh, and I see where Boeing is they said that they have delivered more planes in the last quarter than 2018.

So they only lost 176 million. And that's compared to $1.1 billion a year prior. So, I mean, they're turning this thing around. Maybe the union in St. Louis won't go on strike because things are going to start turning around. at Boeing. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. All right. So they reported that it made 22.7 billion in revenue last quarter, which is a 35% jump

at the same quarter of a year earlier. Okay. So they shipped 280 commercial airplanes in the first six months of 2025, the biggest delivery number for the first half of any year since 2018, as I said. Okay. It's lastest losses. Okay, good. The earnings are an altitude gain.

The company's CEO is Kelly Ortberg, and he, you know, looking good. Is Kelly a man or a woman? I don't know. I'm sorry, I don't want to be gender specific. Kelly Orthberg, it's spelled with the why, so I'm guessing it's a guy, but I don't know. I don't know. Could be a girl. Let's see if it says he in here, where they're quoting him.

It does. It says that he inherited a nightmare. So, yeah, Kelly, Orthbert, he, I can be gender-specific. So, okay, Boeing is looking up too. So, all right, good. We're starting to turn things around. Aren't we? Aren't we?

Of course we are. I mean, we finally are going to get season five of Stranger Things, right? We're going to wrap that up. It's been three and a half years since season four. I mean, they're in a nursing home now. That's the new show, Stranger Things. Nursing Home Chronicles. So I guess, and remember we talked about,

you get three separate release dates for season five of Stranger Things on Netflix. So volume one lands on November 26th. Volume two hits Christmas Day, December 25th, and the grand series finale closes out 2025 on December 31st or New Year's Eve. So they've just released the trailer. So season five is going to be out there. Linda Hamilton is in it. She still looks Linda Hamiltonish.

So we got that going for us. We are turning things around, right? I mean, we're finally going to wrap this stranger thing up. Please, holy God. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

Who died today? Who died today? Well, we've lost a couple of editors in Hollywood. Don Zimmerman, veteran film editor. I mean, this guy was, he filmed, he scored movies like Being There.

A great movie with Peter Sellers. There's so many good lines in that stupid movie. The Prince of Tides, not at the museum, the two rocky sequels. He died of acute myeloid leukemia. At his home in California, he was 81. Rest in peace. Then we have another editor, a three-time Emmy editor. Chris Willingham dead at the age of 74.

What is happening? Editors are dropping. He died of a heart attack at his home in Los Angeles. He worked on 24, the X-Files, Millennium. He did the A-Team and Hunter. Oh, remember Hunter with what's his face, the X-football? player. Fred Dreyer? Yeah, remember, that's awesome. Hunter. I'll tell you how they, he was a police officer, right? And he was a, he was a renegade cop. Yeah, Hunter. Anyway, rest in peace

to Chris William Ham. I want to make sure I said his name correctly. Dead at the age of 74. Then we have a guy that they say rock and roll singer legend. Co-founder of the legendary duop and rock and roll vocal group, Danny and the Juniors, who could forget them, has died at the age of 85. Apparently, it doesn't say what caused his death. It does say that he passed away peacefully. So Frank Maffy, Frank Maffee, Maffee, M-A-F-F-E-I,

the co-founder of Danny and the Juniors, has died at the... age of 85, rest in peace. We lost another skydiver. Dyes after hard landing. Yeah, that's the way that works. That is the way that works. Georgia man, skydiving off of Florida's Atlantic Coast, died after hard landing.

He was participating in a charity event. Really sad. I mean, I don't want that to happen. I know, I personally, we talk about this every time somebody dies of a skydiving. accident. I personally know a guy that died skydiving. I mean, you know why he died? A hard landing. It's not funny. It's not funny at all. It does not give the man's name, but he was 58 years old,

rest in peace to the Georgia skydiver who died after a hard landing at the of 58. Stop. Stop smiling at that. It is not right. Then we have a German biathlon champion. Laura Dahlmeyer, Laura Dahlmeyer, right? D-A-H-L-M-E-I-E-R has died on a mountain in northern Pakistan. She was climbing this remote site and because of bad weather they could get to her. She had an accident. accident and she was struck by some fallen rocks and nobody could get to her on time. There was another climber, according to the story, that was climbing with her who survived. So, man, you want to have a talk about survivor's guilt.

That would be the other person that was with Laura Dimo. How can't I say her name? Laura Dahlmeyer. Laura Dahlmeier. She was 31. Apparently, they haven't even retrieved her body yet. They said, yes, she's not alive and she's still up there, but we can't get her right now. So that's up to the family at a later time, but we're not going to get her right now.

Okay, thank you. So rest and peace to Laura Dahlmeyer, a dad at the age of 31. Then we have 23-year-old Paloma Shemirani. Paloma Shemarani. She has died. because according to reports, she refused conventional cancer treatment and was allegedly undergoing five coffee.

Anima is a day under the care of her mother, who was a controversial health influencer. So they say that because she didn't have any of this conventional cancer treatment is why she died and why she died so young. so because the Hachkin lymphoma that she had, they would have given her with the chemotherapy, given her an 80% chance of surviving.

But she didn't want to do that. She wanted to pursue alternative care, according to the expert's unproven alternative cancer regime promoted by her mother. And her mother says she's used it successfully in the past. But she died of a heart attack. And now the family is all fighting. They're fighting over the whole thing.

the brothers say they blame the mom for her death the mom says she was given care from other medical professionals without a lawful order so she says it was their fault so on top of the vegan diet and the natural juices and supplements and frequent coffee animas

then I guess she underwent surgery to remove a tumor and they were giving her other care for that and the mom says it's their fault and the brothers say nope it's mom's fault the whole thing is just really really sad but and it all you know is all around her death now um so rest in peace uh to 23 year old paloma Chevron.

Product availability varies by region. See app for details. No word yet whether we have actually caught the cat in New Zealand that has become, I guess, kind of famous for stealing items from clothes lines. I guess the nickname is Leonardo DePinchie. Yeah, that's funny. So I guess it's New Zealand. So the cat probably knows they have a little issue with...

Not a lot of people have guns in New Zealand because if old Leonardo DePinche shows up in America, I mean, if you see them out in your yard trying to snatch clothes off the clotheslines, all you have to do, well, at least one time you give them a warning. And if that doesn't work, maybe you just pull the trigger. I know, sorry, Peter, but we can't have animals stealing from humans.

No, that does not work. That does not sit well. We won't have that. Maybe they can have that in New Zealand, but they're not having that in America. Okay. And we have a actual fugitive in Massachusetts and Connecticut.

It's crossed state lines now. A water monitor lizard escaped from his owner's home in Massachusetts and now has crossed state lines into Connecticut. So it's a fugitive on the loose. It's a five-foot lizard named goose. And I saw the news report where it jumped out of this second-story window.

You don't want none of that. I know they're supposed to be docile and friendly. Uh-huh. Sure. You got it. And no problem. I guess that, you know, you can own them in Massachusetts. Of course, the guy or lady or kid or whoever owned goose, this giant lizard,

didn't have the proper paperwork at order. Okay. We got it. He didn't have the paperwork in order for the king. Got it. But, so now he's on the run. And nobody can find him. They're out looking for him.

They think he's in the swamp. They think he's in the water. They think he's up in the trees. Because these water runners can climb trees, live in the water. You don't want none of goose. Okay? I know they say,

oh, they're not known to be aggressive. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. They're not known to be aggressive until they have to be. Ha, ha, they're not. To humans and pets, you're fine. Uh-huh. Unless he's hungry.

Uh, goose is hungry and fluffy is there. Fluffy's going down. So maybe, maybe, just maybe. Well, you know, you see the old water monitor lizard. And, uh, he's in your, he's in your yard. You don't want to, you don't want to come up on him. He'll jump on you, man. Those things are, those things are strong.

Those giant five-foot lizard jumping on you from the tree? No. No, no, no. Maybe you do give him a warning. But after that, if it looks like he's going to launch out of that tree at you, yeah. No, not today, goose. And then don't say anything to anybody.

For sure. Just bury goose in the backyard or out there in the weeds. And then it will just go away. Nobody's seen Goose and we figure he's living somewhere else now. Yeah, don't tell anybody you did it. Okay. I'm not proposing to shoot Goose, but if you were to do that, I would not tell anyone. So yesterday we had the big earthquake in Russia that was a huge earthquake, really.

I mean, an 8.8. Holy cow. And I guess they had a little damage in Russia that I'm supposed to care about. so you know if i if i say that i care about the people in russia then you know we're good right because an 8.8 man you don't want none of that i've felt the three before and that was kind of scary and that's only a three and that was that was just uh you know i was i wasn't the epicenter so i was looking there tsunami warnings were up all over uh people were concerned about the tsunami and uh where it was going and uh so i was looking this morning to see how

much damage this huge tsunami wave did to all these states that had tsunami warnings. And I looked at Washington, the state of Washington, tsunami advisors up there. No major damage has been reported. And then how about Oregon? Did something happen in Oregon? No major damage had been reported. How about Hawaii? Anything happening in Hawaii?

A tsunami from Hawaii? No major damage has been reported. Oh, what about Alaska? No major damage has been reported in Alaska. Huh. So, what about California and the other areas along the coast? Yeah, no major damages. So, the earthquake that sounded off tsunami warnings,

and look, I don't want people to get, I would've seen the damage that water could do and what giant waves could do. Yes, I know. But this particular, earthquake and tsunami warnings did not have any damage, serious damage, except for maybe, you know, there in Russia. And the rest of the places were all not reporting very serious damage,

if any damage at all. All they got was a wave, which is normal, I would guess, coming from the ocean. But that's better to be safe than sorry, right? And seriously, if you're in the area of the 8.8, you are scared out of your mind. I mean, there is nothing, there's nothing that's not moving and shaking and falling down.

No question about that. I got it, I got it. So if you're listening now in Russia, you know, close to where the earthquake was, I know you felt it and you wanted nothing to do with it. I mean, it was an 8.8 magnitude. And so I guess they claim that there were some tsunami waves, up to 15 feet high

hit the coastline because the center of the earthquake was about 78 miles out in the ocean or it was southeast of Petropovlovsk. And so, I mean, I know, I get it. I get it. It's scary. But it's not scary

in the United States. Okay, it happened in Russia. I know. I know. So I'm glad. I hope everything is okay for you and all your family members. friends and neighbors there. And what's the name of the city? Petropovlovsk.

So I was reading a story from the American Academy of Audiology and I love the American Academy of Audiology. And the question was what was the loudest known sound on earth? The loudest known

sound on earth. Now this is according to the American Academy of Audiology. They claim that a volcanic eruption at Krakato in Indonesia in 1883 was the loudest sound on Earth. The eruption was so loud that it was reportedly heard 1,300 miles away and circled the earth four times before dissipating. Okay. All right, sure. If that's what you say, you know, maybe. We didn't have any buildings in 1883,

so there was nothing to block the sound. But that's the loudest known sound on Earth. So there's your jeopardy answer for what was the loudest known sound on Earth. Well, it was that volcanic eruption in Indonesia in 1883. Duh. And we are finding out more about Neanderthals than we, ever have before. I am fascinated. Remember we found the Neanderthals had their bone yards and their gatherings. Now they say that Neanderthals obviously were avid meat eaters based on all the chemical

analysis of the Neanderthal remains. But they claim that my gosh, it looked like they were feasting out as much meat as apex predators. And they can't believe it because they aren't specialized flesh eaters, and they should be eating plenty of plant foods too. Uh-huh. But they weren't. They were eating meat. So the experts all say, no, it is possible for humans to subsist on a very car-nervious diet. In fact, many traditional northern hunter-gatherers, such as the Inuit, subsisted mostly on animal foods.

But, you know, hominens simply cannot tolerate consuming the high levels of protein that large predators can. If humans eat as much protein as hyper-carnavores do over a long period without consuming enough other nutrients, it can lead to protein poisoning. I hate that. Deliberating, a debilitating, even lethal condition, historically known as rabbit starvation. So now they're signs to say, well, how is it possible that they read all this meat then? Well, the experts have come to a conclusion

Want to take a guess? Yes, maggots. They believe that Neanderthals likely ate fermented meat with a side of maggots. Yum, yum. Man, does that sound good, doesn't it? Yes, yes, it does. You know what we'll do? We're going to eat as much meat as we possibly can,

but let it sit there for a while with the maggots. are all over it. Yeah, we're going to eat them as well. So good. Good for the Neanderthals, because they figured out a way. They did. All right, let's get out of here. A joke of the day. Well, you know what? One more from Madman. He got all mad at me saying, maybe something's what I'm mine. Okay, so this is the third one that I've used. Okay, you sent me a list of a bunch of jokes, and three of them I thought were worth reading. This one is one of the ones. Like I did the mayonnaise one, like that one. I did the robots and live and work in Africa.

Like that one. This one is just, you know, a cute one. We did a story about a cat stealing stuff in New Zealand earlier, so, you know, I might as well do a cat joke, okay? This one made me chuckle. It'd make me laugh. But it did, you know, did I, L-O-L? No.

Did I... L? Yes, it made me L. Did you hear about the cat that ate a ball of yarn? No, I didn't hear about the cat that ate a ball of yarn. She had mittens. See, see, I didn't LOL. I just held.
