Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Well, just an FYI from the FDA, who sent warning letters out to three different baby formula companies expressing concern over the manufacturer's practices

for handling contamination in their products. You did not establish a system of process controls covering all stages of processing that was designed to ensure that infant formula does not become adulterated due to the presence of microorganisms in the formula or in the processing environment. Oh, okay. Now, do these letters mean that another formula crisis should soon be underway? Very possible. Four companies comprise 90% of the US baby formula market, meaning that if just one factory is forced to stop production due to safety concerns,

another shock to the U.S. formula supply. So, Be prepared because a baby formula shortage may be coming sooner than you think. I know. I know. It's just an FYI. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Have you ever heard of the story?

It's called the dreaded rat lungworm? No, I have not either. But apparently, it's a parasite with a penchant. rats and slugs that occasionally finds itself rambling in human brains. Uh, no, we have to find a way to stop the rat longworm parasite. So now they're telling us in a new study that the rat longworm has firmly established itself in the southeastern United States. So they're calling it a rapid invasion.

So the study was a small-scale study at the Atlanta Zoo, and as you know, no one supports zoos more than myself and this show. But between 2019 and 2022, researchers continually turned up evidence of the dreaded worm. In all, the study identified seven out of 33 collected rats with evidence of a rat lungworm infection. The infected animals were spread throughout the study's time frame all in different months, with one in 2019, three in 2021, three in 2022, indicating a sustained transmission. Now, they claim, don't worry about it,

this is just a small study. That's all. It's just suggesting that the zoonotic parasite was introduced to and has become established in the southeastern United States. That's all. It's a study by the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine and was published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases and man, do I love the Journal of Emerging Infectious Diseases.

Okay, so the finding, according to this, is concerning. Yeah. Yes, it is. So normally, the adult worms live in the arteries around rat's lungs. Hence, rat, lungworm. So there they mate and lay eggs. The worm's larvae then bursts out of the lungs, gets coughed up by the rat, swallowed and eventually pooped out.

From there, the larvae are picked up by. slugs or snails. Now this can happen if the gastropods eat the rat poop or as the ravenous larvae just bore into the soft bodies. The larvae then develop into the slugs and snails which are ideally and eventually eaten by the rats. Back in the rat, the late stage larvae, penetrate the intestines, enter the bloodstream and migrate into the rat's central nervous system and brain. There they mature into sub-adults, then migrate into the lungs where they become full adults and mate, thus completing the cycle. Humans, because accidental hosts in various ways.

They may eat undercooked snails. I will just say, I know for a fact I have never eaten undercooked snails. I am not. Would you like some snails? No, thank you. And specifically, after the rat lungworm story here, I will never eat snails. Or if you inadvertently eat an infected slug or snail hiding in their unwashed salad again. I'm pretty safe there.

Infected snails and slugs can also be eaten by animals first, like frogs, prawns, shrimp, or freshwater crabs. If humans then eat those animals before fully cooking them, they can become infected. So, I'm just telling you, be careful out there, okay? Now they believe that the worm can't complete its life cycle in humans and that it ends up just wandering around the brain for a month or two, and then it's killed off by immune responses. However, there have been some evidence that the adult worms have reached the human lungs. So they may wander around for a little while and get stronger and just say, hey, we are rat lung worm and you're not messing with us. Okay. Now, there's no specific treatment for the rat

lungworm infection. No anti-parasitic drugs have proven effective. And in fact, there's some evidence that they make symptoms worse by spurring more immune responses to the dying worms. So if you try to kill them, the worms are like, no, we will become stronger, faster. So for now, the supportive treatment is pain medication, steroids, and that's all you got. And hopefully the rat lungworm wanders around and dies. So heads up, if you are concerned with, I didn't know I had to be concerned with the possibility of catching rat lungworm, but now I have to be. So just stay away from undercooked snails and make sure you wash your salads and don't

eat any frogs, prawn, shrimps, or freshwater crabs without fully cooking them first. Otherwise, it's the possibility that you may catch rat lungworm. And no one, no one wants that, I promise you. we mentioned yesterday we've got president joe biden going to detroit today i believe and he was supposed to be picketing with the picketers at the ua w so we'll see if that actually happens we have trump going to detroit tomorrow and tomorrow's the big day for the republican presidential debate number two with uh tim scott vivake ramoswami mike spence nicky hayley mike pence not spence nicky haley ron desantis chris christie and dug burger boy that'll be a that's a riveting

riveting group of people there. And it's going to take place at the Reagan Library, which is out in California, which makes sense since I think that's where DeSantis is supposed to also debate the governor of California, Governor Newsom. So we'll see if that actually transpires. Well, today I hear where Ford Motor Company

said that it is halted work on the $3.5 billion battery factory in Michigan. Just days after the carmaker Ford made some concessions to the striking workers, So they're pausing work and limiting spending on construction on the Marshall, Michigan project until we're confident about our ability to competitively operate the plant. Oh. Okay. Now, we haven't made any final decisions about the plant investment there. Sounds like you kind of have.

So it was to build this facility in Marshall, which is about 100 miles west of Detroit, which is right here on the map, as you see on my hand. And that's, you know, they believe that it's called. well, they believe that their commitment to American manufacturing. We're calling this the Blue Oval Battery Park, Michigan. Oh, okay. This was another battery factory that I believe was being funded by some Chinese investors,

although there's another one on the other side of Michigan over here. If you look at the map, well, that was going to be a plant that was funded by some Chinese investments. So we'll see if that actually transcends. inspires. I was just insane what's happening. We talked yesterday about the the EV battery factory in Kansas that has to have a coal-fired plant to have enough power to make the batteries. It's kind of the world we live in. We saw where a Danish toy maker Legos, they said that yeah, you know, remember when we said we were going to make our blocks green and, uh, Yeah, you know what?

We're not going to do that anymore. Remember when we said, yeah, that we were going to make the bricks out of recycled plastic bottles? Because, yeah, we're not going to do that now. Because, you know why? It increases our energy usage to do that. So we're not going to do that, okay? And the shift toward recycled materials would require major carbon-intensive changes to the company's current brick-making process,

which uses oil-based plastic. So the sample blocks that we made, while costing more, they weren't very good to begin with. So look, we want eco-friendly Lego bricks. We do. Man, do we want that. But the pieces still have to be easy to click together

and pull apart and durable enough to withstand play from generations of boister builders and so we just aren't able to do that when we use recycled materials now we're not going to give up on experimenting with different ingredients and we still aim to make our bricks sustainably by 2032 that's our goal but we can't be you know we don't want to use sugar crane and other bioplastic for softer elements like trees and bushes yeah we like to try that and we want to we want to we ought to be able to, you know, use recycled plastic bottles, but we just can't. We want to. Man, do we want to? We still have a goal of getting there, but we're just not doing it now, okay? And there's still companies

like Nissan, who said that all their new models that it launches in Europe will be fully electric by 2030. So it will only sell electric vehicles on the European continent. Good luck. And God bless, too, I guess. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. I'm not sure why I have not watched this show yet, but I'm very disappointed and I want to apologize to you. I will have this watched very soon. So this new show was posted on Max's HBO streaming service last week.

And it's called Naked Attraction. Why have I not watched this show yet? It's a game show that each episode, a single chooser, critiques and eliminates six potential dates standing on a stage by scrutinizing their fully nude bodies, which are gradually revealed one part at a time. Faces are revealed last. When only two potential dates remain, the chooser strips out of their own clothes, giving the remaining two contestants the opportunity to create. or to critique them. And then the final, the couple, then go out on a date. I guess with their clothes on.

I don't know. I have to watch it. I don't know why I have not watched this show yet. But do I want to watch it? You bet. So, of course, they have to start a show. The following series is intended only for mature audiences. It contains full frontal nudity, course language,

and graphic discussions about the human body. Viewer discretion is advised. So I'm all like it. I'm all like it. I don't like your feet. I don't like the whole deal. I cannot wait to watch Naked Attraction. I will give you a full review very soon on this program.

And speaking of Naked Attraction, I see where a gay orgy among Catholic priests in Poland ended in a medical emergency, and not for one of the priests, but for a sex worker, apparently. there was a sex worker brought in, at least more than one, possibly more, lost consciousness. I know. Apparently, they had this party, this orgy, at one of the Catholic Church's official apartments, and a sex worker was hired, brought in, I guess just one. And the whole event was purely sexual in nature. Duh. The participants all took potency drugs. And then everything got out of control, and the sex worker lost consciousness. What show? I don't even know if this is real life or TV.

There was a show that I watched, and for the life of me, I can't remember the name of it. The beginning of first episode is where a priest goes to this big sex party. And, man, I cannot remember the name of the stupid show. It doesn't matter. It's just that I don't know if real life is imitating art or art is imitating real life anymore. Incredible.

And we have the new show premiering on Prime today, Victoria's Secret, The Tour 23. With behind-the-scenes footage and intimate stories of Victoria's Secret 20, a group of 20 innovative global creatives who will conceive four fashion curations from the vibrant cities of Bogota, Laos, London, and Tokyo, alongside iconic custom Victoria's Secret designs.

And that's coming to shows and networks all over. You'll be able to stop and say, ooh, that's a nice shirt and then buy it. That's kind of cool. We had talked about doing that on the Blaze a long time ago, and the technology just wasn't ready for it. It's ready for it now. So, yay! Speaking of a yay!

Remember when we found out that 87% of teens own an iPhone? Well, Samsung was like, hey, hey, hey, we can't have kids have an Apple addiction. So they went to Mr. Beast, and they said Mr. Beast is a big-time YouTuber and restaurateur for those you that don't know, and he makes content on YouTube and hundreds of other platforms. And he's going to start making content with Samsung phones. And so he writes, or Samsung writes in their announcement that it will showcase what's possible with a Galaxy smartphone for aspiring and professional creators. The company's phones get screen time in the videos.

There's a quick mid-video ad read for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 with a nod to the S-23 Ultra, while Mr. Beast drives a prototype, you know, $2 million hydrogen car that has no seatbelts. And so you can see the S-23 Ultra mounted inside the cars. And so there's also a behind-the-scenes video uploaded by Samsung. Otherwise, it's just a Mr. Beast video. So they're paying him to use the Samsung in his videos. That's, you know, awesome for Mr. Beast. And hopefully it'll be awesome for Samsung.

I'm a Samsung fan. I have a Samsung. an S-23 Ultra, by the way. And I like it. So, you know, that's just me. I know. You be you, boo. I'll be me.

So I haven't seen Joe Burrow, the quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals, comment on this, although it's possible he has. I see a post where Joe Exotic, aka Tiger King, you remember him, he's still in prison

and he's still trying to find a way out of prison. I don't blame him. But apparently he wrote a letter to Joe Burrell, asking him to help raise $20,000 so he can afford to hire attorneys and get out of prison.

Well, Joey just signed a big hundreds of million dollar contract. He can help a brother out, right? So Joe Exotic wrote this note to Joe B, a portion of it, said, I see the news magazines as well as yourself calling you the Tiger King.

I have been the Tiger King. before you get out of high school. Tiger King is my trademark and my intellectual property. How about doing a good deed and helping me raise 20,000 for a down payment to hire attorneys? Maybe paying it forward, God might help you get to the Super Bowl this year, and I could go home for Christmas. Good luck, Tiger King, Joe Exotic, good luck. I feel like that's not going to happen.

But who knows? Joe Burrow might help a brother out. Then again, he might not. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Who died today?

Who died today? Very, very sad news that, well, I mean, it's always sad when someone dies. I got it. But this particular person is someone, you know, I love, David McCallum, the TV star dead at the age of 90. Very sad. You know him as Ducky from NCIS. Some of you may remember him as, you know, one of the stars from a man from uncle. That was way back in the 60s.

That was a long time ago, man. He died of natural causes, surrounded by his family at New York Presbyterian Hospital. Very sad. He was on NCIS for, I mean, a lot of 20 years. I bet show's been on for, I don't know how many years now. And it's, you know, who doesn't love the relationship between Gibbs and Ducky? And it was very sad to see him, you know, see the news that he had passed away. He was, he was like the first sidekick in Man from Uncle.

He said he got the relatively small part first. at first. He said, I had never ever heard of the word sidekick before. And then, you know, he became a star in a man from uncle. And then he played Dr. Donald Ducky Mallard from Naval Criminal Investigation Service. NCIS. He was the pathologist there.

And that was a great part and it was fun to have him there. And then I think his latest deal or his last deal with NCIS and CBS was that he was still going to be on the show, but it was very limited. parts. I'm sure he was not, you know, in the greatest of health at 90. I don't know that. I don't know how sick he was. But in the last few years, it was very limited of his showing up on the show. But he was great and it was always good to have Duckie around. And so the new NCIS without Gibbs and now without Duckie, oh man, very sad. I know the strike is over, but NCIS probably is not going to be the same. in peace, David Ducky McCallum, dead at the age of 90.

Also, one more who died today, today. You remember Matteo Messina De Naro, the convicted mafia, Sicilian, Kosoanastra mafia guy, that they found taking chemotherapy treatments back in January. I mean, he was wanted and he had evaded capture for over 30 years. I mean, he was tried in absentia for him, you know, his was sentenced to life in 2012 for the torture and murder of a 12-year-old son

of another mafia informant. He's believed to be responsible for deaths of more than 50 people. And so he was, I guess, accused of terrorist attacks and murders in 92 and 93. He killed two anti-mafia prosecutors. I mean, he wasn't even there, and they gave him life in prison back in 2002. And then they finally found him getting chemotherapy treatments. And so he has, and that was back in January.

And so now he has died of colon cancer in a prison in Italy. So they shipped him off to prison. And yeah, you were getting chemotherapy before. I don't know if they were, if they stopped the chemotherapy treatments in prison or not. and he just made it in pain for the last few months but he is now dead and I'm sure there are many people happy about it

Mateo Messino de Naro at the age of 61 the one-time head of the Sicilian Casinastra dead and I guess rest in peace I don't want anybody you know mad at me so yeah

rest in peace to you too now we're using pig parts all the time I guess if you have colon cancer you don't get in a pig colon? I don't know. I read in a story the other day where surgeons have successfully transplanted a modified pig heart into a human patient. That's the second time in history that the procedure has been performed. The recipient is a 58-year-old Lawrence Fawcett, and he said to be awake and recovering with the organ fully functioning absent any supportive devices. So the process is known as xenotransplant.

The approach relies on pigs genetically engineered to not possess a specific sugar molecule whose presence leads to organ rejection by the human body. Doctors successfully carried out the first such procedure, yeah, back in January, and then the patient died a couple months later after surgery. Now, they claim that the patient did not die to organ rejection, but because of a number of factors, including the presence of a latent animal virus in the heart. heart. Oh, okay. Now, researchers hope such surgeries will eventually prove a source of viable organs for those waiting transplants. More than 6,000 patients die each year while waiting for donors. So let's, you know, if you're close to death because you need a new organ and they say,

hey, I've got a brand new pig organ over here for you. You're going to say yes. And I believe I would say yes as well. Thankfully, this lady is not part of who died today, although she could have been, and it would have been very disappointing. So a woman has heard yelling for help and was found by first responders at a boat launch outhouse in Otsego County, Michigan.

Now, at Sigo, I see where they're claiming that it's Northern Michigan? No, it's not Northern Michigan, okay? It is in the northern part of the mitten right up here, but northern Michigan is above the mitten. Okay, let's be clear about that, but I digress. So Michigan State Police said first responders were called to the boat launch at the Dixon Lake in Otsego County, and a woman was stuck in the outhouse toilet. So upon arriving to the boat launch, first responders heard the woman yelling for help. She told them that she had dropped her apple watch.

in the toilet and lowered herself in to retrieve it. She was unable them to get out. So conservation officers from the Department of Natural Resources and state troopers remove the toilet and a strap was used to hoist her out to safety. I mean, I don't know that I want to be a part of any of that. I mean, I don't want the lady to die in goo of the outhouse, but I don't want to be leaning over that with a strap. pulling her out of there,

especially when she was just dumb enough to go after her Apple watch in the poo. No. And they then said, you know, if you lose an item in an outhouse toilet, don't attempt to retrieve it. A serious injury could occur. You think?

Yeah. No kidding. On top of which, I am not. I don't know that I could drop anything into an outhouse lower part goo that I would go after. Sure, maybe a kid.

Maybe a kid. Maybe if my kid fell in, you'd almost have to, I guess. Or, I mean, you'd almost have to. Because if you just drive away, what happened to Billy? He fell in the outhouse goo. Sorry, he's not going to make it. But if he does, then you're in trouble. Because we're going to do a story where a child was found

in Otsego County, Mission. at the outhouse of Dixon Lake. They first responders retrieved him after moving the toilet and hoisting the kid out. The child said his parents just left. Then you're in trouble. They're banging on your door. Did you leave your kid in the outhouse? No, I didn't know where he was.

I thought he was missing. I don't know what happened. Did you report it? Yeah, no. We just got in the car. I didn't realize he was gone. And the next thing, you know, we find out he's not there. because uh but dad you look down at me in the in the goo and said good luck oh okay yeah see he'd be in trouble

so i don't want any part of helping people out of outhouse goo man oh just nasty but you know i'm happy she survived and didn't make it to who died today but oof just to go down there after an apple watch do thank you This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

He's just a young kid, really. He's 25 years old. He targeted Hispanics at a Walmart after posting a racist manifesto. And by the way, we've seen his manifesto, but we haven't seen the shooter in Tennessee's manifesto yet, have we? No, yeah, the trans shooter. Anyway, they said the attack was a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas.

The shooting stands as one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history. The agreement comes almost three months after the Department of Justice sentenced the government to 90 consecutive life sentences in prison. After pleading guilty to federal hate crime charges, Texas prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, and that trial date has not been set. Now, he had made a deal with the DOJ after they took the death sentence off the table.

So he got 90 consecutive life sentences in prison. And, you know, is that enough? I don't know. Is the death penalty enough? well, most definitely is. But he, you know, has he agreed to pay $5.5 million in restitution? There's no way that he has that money. So I'm not sure what good that really does.

I know one of the family members of one of the people who were murdered by this man said wasn't part of the deal for the restitution because he said, hey, he doesn't have the money. So why am I even trying to do that and keep drudging up, you know, bad things? and, you know, they're right. And, of course, this past weekend, our president, President Joseph Robinette Biden unveiled an office that aims to reduce the epidemic of gun violence in the U.S. And good news, Vice President Kamala Harris will oversee the new office. So I don't know if that, does that mean that it's the way she's handled her other stuff?

I don't think much is going to happen. So the office is going to centralize and accelerate. and accelerate and intensify the administration's push to curb gun violence. The White House said the office will work to implement Biden's executive orders on gun violence, which include more background checks. Biden called the move the first steps toward what is needed. Well, he believes that all guns should be taken away. And so that's the first steps to what he believes is needed.

Good luck with that. It's not happening. More background checks. I don't know how you... I don't know how you do that. More background checks. I mean, we do have to have background checks. I don't know if you know that, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

So good luck with that. But great. We've got an office of gun violence prevention, and Vice President Kamala Harris will oversee the new office. So that is give her something else to do because I thought she was overseeing the border. And she's done such a great job on that. I mean, nobody's coming into the over the border. So, I mean, I think we can.

We can pretty much rest assured that the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, if that's just as good as her overseeing the border, you've got nothing to worry about. And we do have some breaking news while the show is being recorded here today on the 26th of September, 2023. The Washington Commanders, the NFL football team, has been sued by the Native American Guardians Association. and are advocating that the team revert to their prior team name of Redskins. We'll see how that works out for everyone involved, because I don't foresee that happening.

But I would love to see it, and it's stupid. Nobody calls them the commanders except those, you know, announcing and are working for the NFL. The fans certainly don't. The fans aren't wearing commanders gear. They're all wearing Redskins gear. It's just the whole thing is really, really silly. but we'll see if the lawsuit from the Native American Guardians Association are at you know get their way. I guess you could be the Washington commanders playing on Redskin Field.

I redskin field maybe. Something like that. You work out some kind of deal with that. And you got to say put it somewhere maybe where nobody will ever say it. So maybe they're getting dressed in the Redskins locker room. I don't know. I don't know what you do because I don't foresee the NFL. or the team Washington, even with their new owner,

reverting back to the Redskins, although it would be awesome. And you have plenty of time to enter your dog in the annual Ugly Dog contest in Austin, Texas, at Joe's Coffee House. It's hosting its sixth annual Ugly Dog contest. Now, it's going to happen on October 29th, Sunday, October 29th.

So it's about a month out. The event will run, oh, it's more than a month since. today is the 26th. I already told you that. The event will run from noon to three at the coffee shops of Red River location. You're invited to enter your pets in one or more competition categories. A $10 entry fee per category

is required. And the deadline for submissions is October 13. So you get a couple of weeks. A little more than a couple of weeks to get your submissions in. Each entry includes a social media graphic of the participating dog, a momentum to take home, and a selection

of goodies. All proceeds, the entry fees will go directly to the Austin Humane Society. So the competition seeks to identify what is playfully described as the most beautiful ugly dog in town. The Austin Humane Society will also host an adoption event on site. No word, whether the dogs or animals up for adoption from the Austin Humane Society will be ugly or cute, But it doesn't matter, right? Because no matter how gosh darn ugly your dog is, you just love them. Don't you?

You just love them. So it's an ugly dog contest, but it's special. And it's celebrating the unconventional canine beauty. There's plenty of ugly dog contests, you know, around the country. So if you have an ugly dog and you want to. show up at the old party at Joe's coffee at the Red River location. You can do the runway. They're showcased.

You just walk your ugly dog down the runway. And I guess people vote. It doesn't say who decides the winner. Oh, it says here in the Humane Society's info that vote early and often for your favorite contestant. So at Joe's Red River, starting October 16th, votes are $2 a piece, and all proceeds go back to the Humane Society. So you're charging people to vote starting on October 16th after you have all the contestants in? Holy cow.

Okay. Humane Society, calm down a little bit. Okay, it's an ugly dog contest. Now you want early and often and you're charging me to vote? Wow. Okay. I don't care that your dog is ugly. I'm not paying two bucks for a vote. Okay. And plus, if you have the right amount of cash, you can be paying people to vote for your dog so you're the winner of the contest, right? Is that considered fraud? No, don't be silly. Nobody would cheat at a vote for a dog or a politician or anything, right? Right.
