Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. If you're out on a boat ride in the North Pacific and you see a ship just floating around, adrift with smoke still visible, yeah, that's the ship, the morning, Midas.

It's been burning for about a week. It was on a trip to Mexico from China with 3,000 vehicles. on it. There were about 681 hybrids and the 70 were fully electric. And so the fire started. So I guess there was, I said 3,000. There was 3,048 vehicles on board. And that's when the fire started. And they couldn't put it out. So in fact, it's still burning, as I said. Yeah, they used the regular emergency firefighting procedures using the vessels onboard fire suppression systems. But yeah, that did not work.

That just ran out and the battery fires were too hot. So the 22 member crew radioed for help was eventually rescued by a nearby merchant vessel, Costco Hellas, after abandoning ship and boarding lifeboats. Fortunately, there were no casualties. And at the time of, at this time right now, as far as we know, it's still burning. Maybe if you're out there in the North Pacific and you see it, you can let us know. Is it still burning or is it just floating there smoldering? Yeah, this is not the first time that these ships hauling EV vehicles have burned.

And unlike regular car fires, EV batteries, enter thermal runway, a self-sustaining chemical reaction that burns extremely hot and can reignite days later even after being extinguished. So I guess it really never is extinguished. Fire experts estimate that it takes 10,000 gallons of water to put out a single electric vehicle fire, meaning the, I guess, what, 751 EV and electric and hybrid vehicles on the ship, could theoretically require 8 million gallons of water.

Well, less than that, actually, because they're basing this on 800 vehicles and there were not 800 EVs on there. along with all the other vehicles. It's definitely going to burn hot. And the ship's extinguishing suppression system is designed for traditional fires, not these kind of fires. So like I said, this is the multiple ships have burned now.

I guess since the last two or three years, we've had three major shipping disasters involving EVs. So, you know, something has to be done, right? Nah, I worry about it. It probably's not going to happen again. So if you're out in the North Pacific, you see the ship smoldering, just steer clear. Take a wide berth from the morning Midas

when you're out there in the North Pacific this week, okay? All right, good. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Sometimes you just want to thank the TSA, don't you? Yes, you do. They have proclaimed on their ex-account that we love hot dogs and rotissory chickens as much as the next person.

But please, stop telling people their Costco card counts as a real ID because it absolutely does not. I mean, give it a shot. Why not? What's the worst that could happen? Well, you're going to hold everybody up in line. Apparently, according to TSA spokesperson, Lori Dankers, who, I mean, I'm a fan of Lori.

I'm sure she does a fine job, that the rumor of Costco cards being accepted as official identification pops up every year or so. Does it, Lori? And when people try to use their warehouse club cards at airports, for instance, it would lead to delays and travel headaches. Get out of here. You're going to need your real ID, okay?

Or other acceptable identification for domestic flights and accessing federal facilities, by the way. And if you want to do that, you have to use identification that is not your Costco card. Now, will that happen soon? Probably. It certainly

feels like Costco. My Costco card is a real ID. I'll tell you that. But it's not, apparently. So remember, you need to have your real ID compliant driver's license state issued enhanced driver's license, passport, passport card, trusted traveler cards,

U.S. Department of Defense, ID permanent resident card, border crossing card, acceptable photo ID issued by a federally recognized tribal nation, Indian tribe, including enhanced tribal cards, the HSPD 12 PIV card. Yeah, you're going to need that. A foreign government issued passport, Canadian provincial driver's license, or Indian and Northern Affairs, Canada card, Transportation Worker Identification Credential, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Employment Authorization Card, U.S. merchant marine credential, veteran health identification card. See, nowhere on that list was the Costco card.

I think Costco should fight for that. That would make it all for our safety, and they would get more information. I mean, they have all our information now, and they scan it when you walk in like you're a criminal. Oh, no, it's not a criminal. We just want to make sure the right people are using the cards. Uh-huh. Okay.

And so make it a part of the real ID program. let's make that happen. Costco, maybe Sam's Club. No, you know, Sam's Club, I don't want Sam's Club part of it. Because I like Sam's Club. Anyone can use my Sam's Club card as of right now. But I know they're not supposed to. I get it. But Costco has locked that down with their Costco cards.

So just make them part of the real ID now, okay? And if you at one time in your life thought, you know, my ID at Costco is going to get me on the airplane. That's on you, I think, because most of us already realized that our Costco card is not a real ID. Okay, it's a real ID. It's just not an official real ID. So you can't use it at the TSA checkpoints. I know.

I didn't make the rules. So what will happen to the world if Harvey Weinstein is not found guilty in this latest? his trial. I personally would love it. I know that I'm a bad person for it. But apparently, the jury has been deliberating. And they went back to the judge and said, yeah, you know, there's a problem.

The jury foreperson said, yeah, some jurors were prodding others to change their minds, talking about the former studio boss, passed and going beyond the charges as they delisement. liberate. I feel like they are attacking, talking together, fight together, and I don't like it. That's the transcript that the closed-door conversation with Judge Curtis Farber as, you know, for the prosecution and the defense teams. So the foreperson said he believed the jury was tasked only with considering what happened at the time in the moment of the crimes allegedly by the prosecution.

but others are pushing people talking about his past. Yeah, that's what they've done to this guy. I feel it's not fair taking the decision about the past. He added that others pushed people to change their minds when he thought they instead should seek to answer one another's questions and let that person make a decision. Wow. Okay, so what happens to the world? When Harvey has got a hung jury and they can't find him guilty.

I personally can't wait for it, but it's probably not going to happen. But I would say that this gives them a definite opportunity to appeal this for sure. Harvey is still hanging in there. He didn't testify, and I know he's been really sick, and he's been staying at the hospital for the trial.

He probably is not going to make another trial. I mean, he's really sick. But if he is not found guilty for his, these charges are a raping man, this one female, and forcing oral sex on two other women separately in 2006. Okay. So the first trial was kicked out because it was tainted by prejudicial testimony and overturned that conviction.

And now this one, they're going to retry them. And if they have a hung jury and he's not guilty of this, wow, okay. I mean, he's still guilty of his crimes in California. So California will say, hey, ship it back here. We've wanted them all this time. You've been hogging him in New York.

Bring him back to California. We'll put him in a California prison. I don't think he makes it that long. But it would be a slap in the face to New York if Harvey walks again. And then we have the Diddy trial, still ongoing. I tell you, what I've read about the Diddy trial, You know, he's charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. And he has pleaded not guilty to all those charges.

I got to tell you, I have not seen every moment of the trial. I have not paid very close attention, just kind of, you know, a cursory approach to the ditty trial. Because we all know he's a bad guy. No question. But have they proved, from what I see, have they proved racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution? I don't think so. Maybe more is to come. I mean, we're at what, day 20 something in the trial. And they have, what I've seen, they have not come close to prove in that. They've proved that he's a terrible person and that he treats women in particular like crap, but he teaches,

he treated everyone around him like crap because he was Sean Diddy Combs and you weren't. But have they proved that? I mean, did he? could walk too. Wow. New York. A couple of big time slaps in the face. If Did he and Harvey walk? Holy cow. At Desjardin, we speak business. We speak startup funding and comprehensive game plans.

So we have another big-time actor now under sexual misconduct allegations. Jared Lato, Jared Lato has been accused, or it's been, you know, I've been accused of a misconduct from multiple women, including some who say they were underage when they met him.

Nine women accused the actor of impropriety in an airmail story. Some of the allegations include assaulting a 17-year-old, walking nude in front of a different 17-year-old, and engaging in sexually explicit conversations with a 16-year-old. The horror. So a representative for Lido has denied the allegations. I bet he has. One of the women, Los Angeles-based DJ,

Ellie Tully's, sparked conversation on social media after reposting a 2012 Facebook status to her Instagram stories last month. You're not really in L.A. until Jared Lido tries to force himself on you backstage in a kilt. And a snow hat. She also referred to the Hollywood's most persistent predator in a kilt.

Wow. She was assaulted. She claims that she was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17, alleging that he knew my age and didn't care. What he did was predatory, terrifying, and unacceptable. Ms. Daly's allegations are demonstrably false, according to Lito's representative. Another woman, former model Laura Leroux, said she met Lato at an animal rights benefit in Los Angeles when she was 16, which led to email correspondence between. between them that eventually resulted in her visiting him in April of 2009. I remember him teasing me the whole time. I was there. He was flirting with me.

He'd lean in close and pull away like it was a game. The horror! The outlet reported that when Leroux was 17, Lido walked out of a room completely naked in the model's present. He just walked out. Man part out like it was normal. I thought maybe this was just what adult men do. Okay.

mean, how do you get by in life if that's something like that happens? I'll end, you know, of course has, uh, has absolutely denied this. It's so, I, this is just, holy cow. I, you know, if it's true, okay, uh, you know, we got it. You're a, another Hollywood dirt bag. We don't know the outcome of Kevin Costner's, uh, lawsuit going on with his, uh, stunt person, but we do know that, uh, they've halted filming of three, uh, Horizon Series three.

don't know if that's ever going to be up and running. Don't know if we're ever going to see Horizon 2. They talked to one of the actors on Glenn Termin. And if you see a picture of Glenn, you'll go, oh yeah, him. He said that he has no idea what's happening. They halted production. He's waiting to hear back.

And he's just saying, you know, I've not heard a thing pertaining to the schedule. Oh, okay. So we don't know what's going to happen with with three now. And we also know that Kevin is having to deal with the lawsuit that was filed by stuntwoman, Devin Labella, citing her involvement in that violent, unscripted, unscheduled rape scene, which we talked about before.

And so we have that going for us. So there you go. Hollywood in a nutshell. Allegations are flying over sexual misconduct and discrimination and harassment. it's good times good times oh yeah speak of the good times

you know I talked yesterday about the Tony Awards and I gave you some of the winners of the big categories but you know it was the 10th anniversary of Hamilton so they had the big

Hamilton cast reunion and they came out and did a whole medley thing it was awesome but the one guy who was on the outs he was there but he didn't get to sing

a special section I can't remember a stupid name my daughter was talking to me about it because she was you know she's of course a hamilton freak and she watched it and so the one guy was supposed to get married to another girl in the show then he cheated on her and then he thought that he was too big for the for the rest of the cast so he left and they all hate him now well they brought him back lynne manuel miranda brought him back for the 10th anniversary because you know everybody needed to be there on stage but they didn't give many parts and when you watch him

to say goodbye he's standing off to the side uh at the end of the line as they're taking their bows there at the Tony Awards. Pretty funny. I had not funny at all if you had to live through it because he's not a good person now. But I did enjoy it. I watched the whole thing with my daughter

and it was fun. I want to be in the room where it happened. The room where it happened. I was singing that song all day yesterday. I know. All right. One reminder that Father's Day is this coming Sunday.

Okay? All right, let's get to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Desperately while you go to blazedivy. And use that offer code, Dad 30. It's a full. official, they're breaking up. I know.

Warner Brothers Discovery is splitting into two companies. So, I mean, they're just splitting up, splitting up the company. I know. So their TV channels, including CNN, TNT, and TBS, as well as Discovery Plus and Bleacher Report, will live within a newly created entity called Global Networks. Meanwhile, it's film studios and streaming services,

including HBO Max, will become part of, of streaming and studios, which will be held by current CEO, David Zazlov, who's done a, I mean, making some money under him. So the move will allow the two companies to remain somewhat entwined operationally and financially to focus on their core businesses

and give them more deal-making opportunities. Uh-huh. Some observers, you know, may believe that Warner might be looking to sell global networks as cable TV slowly goes the way of, you know, goes a long way away because streaming is taking over yeah that's very possible and so that's not the first time i mean comcast owned nbc universal they recently you know began uh tearing their place apart with uh cnbc and msnbc into a new cable company called versont

which is a great name i mean they didn't ask me they didn't consult me i just feel like wow what a great name. Then I see Disney is going to pay an extra $438.7 million to Comcast. Yeah, that's a tough day because we already committed to $8.6 billion a couple of years ago. And so now this is the complete-the-purchase of Comcast's 33% stake in Hulu. Disney's accusation of Hulu is expected to close by the end of July of this year. So they're going to pay an extra. Would you think you had a bad day?

Did you have to pay an extra $438.7 million today? No? Well, Disney did. Oh, they could afford it. I know. But still, no one wants to give out an extra $438.7 million. Any day. And I don't know that I like this report.

According to this, a new report found ad-supported streaming hit 100 million subscriptions, nearly doubling in just two years, while premium services like Netflix and Disney Plus have mostly stopped growing. Have they, though? Here's what's interesting in this poll. Sixty-five percent of the people choosing ad-supported plans are brand-new viewers, not-existing customers, downgrading to save money. Yeah, we're already spending the money. We're already spending it, and we like, like it without commercials. Okay. That's, I'm okay. I have some streaming services that I purchased, that had commercials when I

purchased it. Yep, you know, I live with it. But man, it's tough some days. Meanwhile, free platforms like YouTube now get more to watch time, more watch time than Netflix. There's a YouTube free to watch. I don't think so. There's a lot of commercials on YouTube. And free streaming channels grew 40% while paid services flatline. Okay, well, I'd like the free streaming channels. Where do they exist? Because I don't see those very often. So according to this, ad-supported content

now captures 72% of all TV viewing. Wow, okay. Proving that streaming wars have entered a new phase where free with ads beats premium without. That's bad news for studios counting on subscription revenue, but great news for advertisers and viewers. who'd rather watch commercials than pay monthly fees. Yeah, that's what that is.

And we're stuck with it. Or you could just be like Amazon Prime and sell you a bill of goods that you're not going to have commercials and then you're going to say, well, now you're going to get commercials unless you pay us some more money. And so really, I mean, it's the same thing that Netflix did and Hulu on demand did, all that stuff. They just kept raising their prices.

You don't want to watch commercials? Fine. We're just going to charge you more money. then I see a new poll from a U-Gov survey back in May of this year, way back in May. I mean, how old were you back in May? And this was the most trusted source of news in the U.S. Okay, so there you go. You got that rolling around your head now, right?

The most trusted news in the U.S. And this was a U-Gov poll, I'm sorry, a U-Gov service. survey from May. All right. And so what is in your head who you choose to be the number one news source? I know. And the winner was far and away the winner. Forty-nine percent, number one. So you had NBC at the bottom. She, amazing they made the list. That's with my man, Lester Holt, though. That's why he's gone down. NPR, 17% at the bottom two. The Associated, oh wow, they're all tied. So Reuters, Associated Press, NPR, 17%. And then NBC at 16% at the bottom. Wall Street Journal is in fifth place with 20%. ESPN, 21%. I mean, that's sports news, right? You're

trusting that for sports news. Forbes 24%, PBS, 25%. BBC, 26%. And the, the, most trusted news in the U.S. Number one, far and away, 49% of the people on this U-Gov survey, said the Weather Channel. I know. I mean, I trust the Weather Channel as well. Their climate change thing is a little agonizing,

but I do, I mean, when I tune into them to watch a weather report, I trust that they're not. not lying to me. So it's kind of surprising that it's only 49% because you go to the weather channel to get actual weather reports, right? Are you watching the weather channel for anything else? I'm not. 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.

Product availability varies by region. See app for details. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Funk Rock Pioneer who led the Family Stone, Slop. Lie stone dead at the age of 82. What an incredible life this guy had. And he played everywhere.

He suffered a prolonged battle with COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, according to this and other underlying health issues. Couldn't have been brought on by years of smoking and drugs, though. Yes, I'm sure that's exactly what it is. I guess he had just recently completed a screenplay for his life. He's a songwriter-producer. I mean, the guy was a monster. And then he was nothing.

Then he became, I mean, it was reported that he was homeless. And then he started to be a disc jockey to make some money. I mean, the guy was awesome. And he was a trendsetter as far as music goes. In fact, many musicians still claim that he is the man. They had the documentary of him called Summer of Soul and the director, Quest Love. He claims that one of the strongest, he claims that Sly created the alphabet that we still used to express music.

He was the first to take advantage of being a bedroom musician, multi-track recording, the wah-wah, the drum machine, and doing everything by himself. We praise Stevie Wonder and prints for these things, but Sly was the prototype. He also single-handedly revived hip-hop With all the samples that came from him So he's the man He's the man so I mean Sly was the guy who integrated Not just musically but sexually and racially

And Sly in the family stone Man he was the guy So a rest in peace to Sly Stone Dead at the age of 82 Then The author of the day of the Jackal, Frederick Forsyth, dies. Frederick was 86.

It doesn't say the cause of death for Frederick, but, you know, he's 86. He's a best-selling author. He's known for the Day of the Jackal. He also did the Odessa file. I mean, he published more than 25 books while the Dogs of War sold 75 million capital. Yeah, he was a big-time author. And so he's a thriller, writer, fighter, fighter, pilot journalist and spy.

So rest in peace to Frederick Forsyth dead at the age of 86. And while they didn't die, they're gone. 17 members of the government's panel of independent expert vaccine advisors got the boot. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that he is retiring. all 17 members of the government's panel of independent expert vaccine advisors. The move is held, we'll see how good it is. But he said the Health and Human Services Secretary wants a clean sweep to reestablish public confidence in vaccine science.

Yeah, I know health advocates on the other side of the aisle will not be happy. But a clean sweep is needed to reestablish public confidence in vaccine science. So you 17 members on the panel, have a nice day. Take care. Goodbye. Then, you know, I've been thinking about New York all day today because, well, the Tony Awards were at Radio City Music Hall, which was right down the street from where our studios were when we were in New York.

And then I see a story where good, I forgot about this, that Good Morning America is moving their studios from Times Square. Yeah, I know. I know. ABC, Disney, they're moving to some dump studios where everything else is housed. They've got a production site where they produce everything

in Hudson Square. It's a 22-story building and it's got the whole block and they've got studios and everything. That's where Kelly, live with Kelly and Mark are on the view. Oh, great. And so now, the Good Morning America is getting out of Times Square.

And I walked by those studios every single morning. And in fact, I remember, do you remember the app 4Square when you could be mayor of different places? I was the mayor of Good Morning America there at Times Square for a long time. I was the mayor of a lot of places in Times Square. But that was one of my proudest ones. And I know Forrest Square, I don't know if they're still out there. They do something called the swarm now, and it's not the same thing.

But it was just cool to check in to all these places and become, if you checked in, I mean, every day. And you can do it multiple times a day, I think every 12 hours, I forget. But that's how you become mayor of places. And I was the mayor of the Good Morning America Corner there at Times Square for quite some time. Proud moment in my life. And anyway, they're moving. And it got me thinking about New York. you know, Broadway and Times Square.

It was just what a, it was a good time to be in the city. And I'm happy that I'm not there now. But it was New York, man. We were working in New York. And it was cool. And the way our studios were, they were up, we were on the same block as where the Good Morning America studios are. They move, I think this is their last week there.

We were on the same block. We were on the other end of the block. And we were up, I think, forget what floor 40th or whatever which you could go around the corner you can see time square and you know where they have the drop and you see it's just as you can see down to the hudson and that was just i mean and then you go to the other side of our studios and there is the chrysler building and you look to your right and there is the empire state building and there is the uh not the paramount but the uh what's the stupid insurance company

that might have been new york life i think i Anyways, it's just you see it's, you work in Manhattan. And you look out the window and there's, you know, Avenue of the Americas and Brian Park. And up the road to the left is Radio City Music Hall. And that's across the street from the Fox Studios. Just, you know, it's being in Manhattan. It's New York City, baby. Oh, and I should congratulate the Florida Panthers, the National Hockey League.

they are in the NHL Stanley Cup finals that we've talked about that that's going on now Game 3 was last night the Panthers, the Florida Panthers kicked the crap out of the Edmontaton Oilers 6 to 1. I mean, they crushed them. So they are up two games to 1 and then they have a game still in Florida.

That was down in Florida. And then they have a game on Thursday night down in Florida as well. And then they go back up to Edmonton. So the first two games up in Edmonton they split one to one. The first game went to single overtime. The second game went to double overtime.

This game did not need overtime. This game did all three periods. And the Florida Panthers crushed the Edmonton Oilers. The place was wild. The fans were out of their minds as they won. So we'll see if they can keep that up there, up two games, one. Could be a repeat.

The Panthers could win it all again. With AmX, 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. You know, so I've had this story in the fat pile for a while, and every time I look at it, it just pisses me off, so I don't do it. But it's a story about comedians apologizing for past jokes, and it really is just agonized. to me. I mean, you know, you had Jimmy Fallon groveling for forgiveness a few years back over his

blackface sketch. We had Sarah Silverman talking about, I have to apologize for the jokes. And I want to ask yourself, they want this person to be changed or do I want them to say all left up, you know, myself? And then she recently apologized. I use the N-word in previous comedy routines. And I just was wrong and that was ignorant. Was it? Because at the time it was okay for people to use that word and it still should be okay in my eyes. But

you know, the world has deemed that word I can't say that. As a white person, can't do that which is just agonizing to me. But it really pisses me off that these comedians bend the knee. I don't know that it will do any good for their damage control

because are they still funny today to me? No. You start bending the knee for things you've joked about in the past. I'm sorry. No, you're done for in my eyes. Now, there was a comedian in Brazil who was just sentenced to eight years in prison for jokes. That's correct. The Brazilian comedian said a judge took issue with his Wikipedia page when she handed down an eight-year prison sentence.

So not only did he go to prison for his jokes, but he went to prison for his Wikipedia page. I may be okay with that. All right, stop it. I know. I know. I got it. So according to this, his performances contributed to the spread of verbal violence in society and promote intolerance.

Oh, no. His performances have promoted intolerance. And I guess they've spread verbal violence. Wow. freedom of expression cannot be used as an excuse to make hateful, prejudiced, and discriminatory remarks. Actually, it can, Judge. That's the whole point behind freedom of expression. But it's Brazil.

It's not the United States. Is this coming to the U.S.? You bet. He's joked. This guy's joked about everything. The black people, obese people, elderly people, HIV people, homosexuals, evangelicals, indigenous communities, people from impoblished northeast Brazil, Jews, people with disabilities, nothing sacred. It's about the jokes. I love this guy. I wish I could understand him.

But this is just unbelievable to me. And this is coming to America soon when we have our comedians bending the knee for past jokes. So Leo Lenz, I guess, is going to prison. for eight years in Brazil, and he posted a video talking about imagine an innocent man accused of murder. Did you kill?

Ask the judge, and he says no, and she goes on Wikipedia where people can lie. Yes, convicted. And Lynn's also claimed that the judge said that even though the jokes

happened in a theater, they became harmful when they left the theater and showed up online. wow Okay So that is Agonizing

Agonizing and when I say I know he posted a video About About the being The Wikipedia thing About my prison And he uploaded the video Saying that talking about the case

And the reason that I'm reading the words Is well this is his video That he posted when I received the Notice of my prison See, I got the I got the thing where he's going to prison And

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. That's what I get for only speaking English. I know, I know I have to take other people's words for what he actually said. So now I guess you can't joke about protected groups but you can say whatever you want

think about this for a second. All right. So a lot of comedians tell jokes about, who is it they tell jokes about, oh yeah, white people, but you can only say jokes about white people. Everybody else, all the protected groups, no jokes about that.

I mean, we are almost in that place now, almost. And that is not a good place to be. And you can't quote me on that. That is not a good place to be. All right, let's do the joke of the day then. Let's wrap up. I will not bend the knee. and now many of my jokes are

I don't write them, I just pass them along. So apparently, according to the judge, that while I'm in my theater here, chewing the fat, you know, no problem. But when it goes out there, when it leaves the theater, then I'm in trouble. Okay. So don't tell anybody, all right?

Don't put it on Axe at Jeffrey JFR. Don't put it on Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. I mean, maybe I could do a cameo for you. It's not free. But it's, you know, maybe you, you know, at Jeffrey JFR on the cameo app. Maybe I do that. I could do the joke there and get away with it,

but not in public. Okay, I can only do it here on chewing the fat. So thank you for subscribing to chewing the fat. And if you're not a subscriber and you're just listening for free, stop it. All right. Nobody likes a freeloader. Okay.
