Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Coming to a city near you soon. A public health emergency has been declared in Long Beach, California, following a tuberculosis outbreak that resulted in one death and nine hospitalizations. The outbreak began among a group staying at a local hotel.

I wonder if that. The group was illegals, but it doesn't say. They were staying at this local hotel, exposing around 170 people to the illness. The city health officer has declared a public health emergency, but just remember the risk of TB for people who live, work, study, or visit in Long Beach remains very, very low. Now, last year, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that tuberculosis cases reported across the United States appear to be returning to levels seen before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Huh. Many tuberculosis cases may have been missed, misdiagnosed, or delayed during the pandemic. Isn't that weird? Now, tuberculosis, what happens? Well, it infects the lungs. can cause coughing, chest pain, and fever. It's characterized by coughing up blood or mucus. You don't want it, is really what they're telling you.

It is curable, treated with the standardized course of drugs that include antibacterial medicines, and it can also be prevented with protocols such as, I don't know, screening, vaccination, make sure people who are infected, finish their course of treatment. But, you know, you want to stay away from the air. of someone coughing tuberculosis at you. But it's just one city. Long Beach, it's out in California. It's one place, one hotel.

We don't know where it's at because we, of course, want to protect patient privacy and comply with regulations. But if people staying at the hotel or who may have otherwise been exposed, will be contacted by the health department. So I guess there's nothing to worry about. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Sad news has been announced today.

Miss USA has relinquished her crown. I know. Noiela Voight has said that, yeah, I'm stepping down. I can't do this anymore. I need to preserve my mental health. And nothing is so hard as to be Miss U.S. You and I both know that. It's such a difficult task to go around and be pretty every day.

And so she's representing Utah, or she was representing Utah. I guess she still does. With pride. And the Miss USA, Miss Universe, Noel Voight, said that, sadly, I've made a very tough decision to resign from the title of Miss USA. I never could have I imagined the journey that my childhood dream would take me on. She's 24 now. But she said with hard work and dedication all led me to where I am today.

Yeah, crazy and can't do the job. Oh, wait. I hope that the last seven years of competing in pageantry and sharing my journey with you as something that inspires you to never give up on your dreams, whatever they may be. eternal gratitude fills my heart when I think about the platform I was given to make a difference. I'm not going to use it anymore because I can't. I've got to preserve my mental health, but connected with people all over the world. And I just, deep down, I know that this is just the beginning of a new chapter for me. Yeah, it is. A new chapter of not being Missed USA and stepping down.

Okay. But she made the, you know, the choice to prioritize. her mental health. And you need to advocate for yourself and others by using your voice and never be afraid of what the future holds, even if it feels uncertain. So she claimed, I know, look, I know it's going to come as a shock to many. I get it. But I can't compromise a physical or mental well-being. And our health is our wealth. Can we quote you on that? Noeella void? Yeah, okay. Our health is our wealth. So, I don't know what, they're going to do. I haven't heard word from the Miss USA pageant. I guess number two, the runner up last year is now Miss USA. Now that was Miss Hawaii. So I guess she is now Miss USA.

Unless she turns it down. I don't know why she would. She was runner up. And now she gets to have the title. Right. They give her the crown and she gets to be Miss USA. So congratulations to Miss Hawaii, who gets to be Miss USA from today until the next Miss USA contest, because no yellow void couldn't do it any longer. Speaking of stepping down, I see where the head of ABC, Kim Godwin, ABC News president, she stepped down this past weekend, Sunday night, to be exact. She said that she's decided to retire from broadcast journalism.

She wrote in an email to the staff, on Sunday. Anyone who's passionate about what we do knows there's no other business like it. So this was not an easy or quick decision, but after considerable reflection, I'm certain it's the right one for me as I look to the future and prioritize

what's most important for me and my family. Now, ABC has not named a replacement for her, but she was the executive head of DEI at CBS before they brought her in as

A.B.C. News president. And she was under investigation for alleged incompetence at the position. They brought in someone in February to oversee the company, and that person said, this place is a nightmare. She has not doing the job at all, even though she was the executive director for development and diversity at CBS News, which, by the way, if you watch the CBS News shows, you know that she did a great job there, developing diversity at CBS News.

And so the staff didn't like her. She wasn't involved in day-to-day operations. And so she is out at ABC News. And I'm sure she stepped down. Pretty sure the call was on Sunday afternoon. Hey, Kim, look, I'll give you a chance to send an email and step down. or we're going to kick you to the curb, okay? So good luck.

God bless. You know, now would be a good time for Kim to think about getting a hold of real estate agents I trust. She's planning on moving. She's going to be looking for a new place. And she's definitely having a tough time leading. So she needs someone that can help her out. And that's where real estate agents I trust comes in.

I mean, years ago, the guy who started this, Glenn Beck, got so fed up with the agonizing idea that he couldn't find a decent real estate agent to sell his home. He figured that other people were having the same problem. So he started real estate agents I trust.com. The real estate agents I trust pairs you with the best real estate agent in your area, someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader, someone you can trust. So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home, or both, get in touch with them.

You'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Real estate agents, I trust. The name pretty much says it all. Go to real estate agents. org.com. That's real estate agents I trust.com. 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. So Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of MEDA, has reportedly gifted himself a new birthday present. Now, his birthday is coming up on the 14th of this month. If you're listening live today is the 7th of May, 24. And I guess he turns 40 on the 14th. And he gifted himself a $300 million mega yacht dubbed Launchpad. I cares so much.

about the environment. Well, he does care about the environment, which is why this yacht is only ranked the 45th largest yacht in the world. So, I mean, it's not the biggest. It could be a lot bigger. It is gorgeous, actually. And it was only $300 million. It's a 387-foot-long vessel. It was designed by Espin Ongio International and boasts a steel hall and an aluminum superstructure. It has a navy blue theme matching an American flag perched proudly on its wood paneled stern. It can comfortably fit 24 guests aboard, requires a crew of 48, and has said, it costs about 30 million a year for upkeep and usage. And you can't have a mega yacht without a helipad. Well, you can't if you're Jeff Bezos because he just has another ship to follow his yacht that has the helipad and keep all his toys in.

Oh, wait, so does this one. But this one only has the $30 million partner boat to keep the, you know, the toys on. So I'm sure that the main structure has a helipad there. Now, it was a Russian commissioned mega yacht and I thought there was some kind of sanctions going on. We couldn't get those, we couldn't get those yachts because of the Russian sanctions. Oh, he was granted special permission to have it imported just weeks ahead of his birthday. So it's docked in Florida. I don't know where it's at if it's down there where Bezos keeps his 417-foot megayot docked.

But we'll see. We'll see how Zuck rides. But a happy birthday to Mark from Mark. You know, speaking of Jeff Bezos, I see where he's probably not too happy. He just moved to Florida. He and a fiancé Lawrence. Sanchez. I just moved to Florida. And the governor of Florida just signed legislation that's going to ban lab-grown meat and insects. Okay. Jeff could I be happy. I mean,

he and Lauren just invested like, I don't know, $60 million into sustainable protein, including cultivated meats. Yeah, the Bezos Earth Fund, chaired by Sanchez, the fiancé, said, you know what? Yeah, we're going to give you, you know, 60 million right now. And we plan to have like a billion dollar commitment to expanding food production, you know, that is cultivated meat, which is sustainable protein, including plant-based, fermented, and cultivated meats. Well, you can keep doing that, Jeff.

No problem. But you're not going to sell it in Florida. I don't think Jeff is going to be moving from Florida no matter what, though, because remember he bought two mansions at billionaire bunker because he was, you know, bought the property there on Indian Creek Island. And then last month it was reported that he bought a third multi-million dollar estate. And he's going to live there while he knocks down the other two dumps and makes a bigger place. So he's not going anywhere.

Whether he could sell his bugbeat somewhere else. but he's already, he's got, he's got plans on the billionaire bunker Indian Creek Island. You know, if you, like Jeff Bezos, have a house that you're going to be living in, you're going to knock down a couple just to, you know, build a bigger place, you're going to need some shrubbery and some trees. So maybe you should go to fastgrowing trees.com and see what they have and order what you need to make the place even look better before, you know, obviously you have to live in the,

And this one is about kids and pets and a situation that we can all understand, whether we have kids or pets or neither. It's from a man in Cincinnati, Ohio. And here's what he likes. Dear Casey, this may seem to be a strange dedication request,

but I'm quite sincere. And it'll need a lot if you play it. Recently, there was a death in our family. He was a little dog named Snuggles. But he was most certainly a part of... Let's go start again. I'm coming out of the record. Play the record, okay?

See, when you come out of those up-tempo goddamn numbers, man, is impossible to make those transitions. And then you've got to go into somebody dying. You know, they do this to me all the time. I don't know what the hell they do it for. But, God damn it, if we can't come out of a slow record, I don't understand it. Is down on the phone?

Okay, I want to go. God damn concerted effort to come out of a record that isn't a fucking uptempo record every time I do a goddamn death dedication. Now, make it and I also want to know what happened to the pictures I was supposed to see this. Last goddamn time, I want somebody use his brain to not come out of a goddamn record that is uptempo and I got to talk about a dog dying. Boy, it's just ponderous, man. Casey Kaysap, number 10, the greatest talk show host of all time. That quite possibly is one of my favorite bits of all time.

It's down on the phone. What happened? The pictures I was expecting. Just tremendous. Okay, number nine. Drew Carey is on the list. Yes, Drew, I mean, he had his own show. Then he did Whose Line Is It Anyway?

And then he replaced the great Bob Bar. Who, by the way, we have not mentioned, so Bob's got to be in this top 10 as well. He has to be. Hello, Bob Barker. So, Drew Carey makes number nine. Number eight, Jeff Foxworthy. Yeah, I guess. I mean, you're smarter than a fifth grader, which I guess we're doing another one like that with Travis Kelsey now, right?

You're smarter than a sixth grader or whatever. That show was worth it. And then the American Bible Challenge. And, you know, Jeff Foxworthy, I mean, he's awesome. I've seen him live perform before. I mean, he's awesome. Number seven, here we go. My man, Bob Barker.

I know you have to give it to Bob Hello. He was on television. Now, the price is right from 72 to 2007. He was doing shows, you know, 100 years before then, too. You're talking about Bob Barker, man. He was an awesome, a legend. Then we have Dick Clark, number six. Yes, Dick Clark, hello.

I mean, American bandstand from 1956 to 1989. And then he did his Rock and Eve. And, I mean, his company has been a part of just monster events. So Dick Clark, obviously, number six. Number five, Steve Harvest. Steve Harvey has hosted his own show, his podcast, he's done his radio show. I mean, Steve is a big guy he's made, he did Family Feud and Celebrity Family Feud, some great stuff from those shows.

Steve Harvey definitely belongs on the list, no question. Number four, Walter, Walter Cronkite? You could have a news guy from CBS, the evening news? Okay, I mean, I know he reported some big stuff over the years, and he's Walter Cronkite, but he deserves to be an all-time TV host? I don't know. Okay, well, fine, whatever. Whatever you want, Walter Cronkite, number four.

Number three in the list, Johnny Carson. Johnny Carson is not number one. Are you kidding me? Johnny Carson is not number one on this list. Come on now. He did the Tonight Show for 30 years. And he, I mean, he ran NBC. He hosted like 8,000 episodes.

Are you kidding me? Number two, Steve Irwin. Okay. I mean, I get it. I get it. The crocodile hunter. We love him. And it was, you know, he's a niche guy.

But above Johnny Carson? I think not. But okay. And number one, Alex Trebek. Well, all right. I mean, Alex, it's kind of recency bias. Like, for Alex. I mean, he was, you know, he just died where Carson, you know, died back.

And that did Carson die? 2005. So everybody, you know, that's quite quite some time ago when you can parent to Alex Trebek. So he deserves. All right, I'll give you maybe Alex is number one, maybe, but Johnny Carson should be that number two, not number three. Sorry, Steve.

I know you're the crocodile hunter and all, but no. 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. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no. But chicken tenders, yes.

Who died today? Well, we'll begin with 51-year-old Alia Lopez. Alia Lopez Rest in Peace dead at the age of 51. Now, it was just, you may not know who Alia Lopez was. She was a member of the hospital in Pittsburgh, and she was on her way to work or on her way away from work, but she was walking down the road

when a large metal steel drum escaped from a construction site, rolled down a hill, broke through a stone, section of fencing and ran over a lea uh the the cylinder weighed about a ton and so according to emergency crews that were called to the scene yeah she uh she didn't make it i mean we've all seen the final destination movies right i mean there's like a thousand final destination movies this was probably a way in one of

those movies where someone uh was killed and this is exactly what happened to Alea Lopez. Rest in peace. Alea Lopez dead by being run over by a steel drum from a construction site in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Rest in peace. I mean, maybe there's some footage. I have not seen any footage of this. There's got to be some footage of this happening.

I don't know if she had headphones on. I don't know if it was a quiet steel drum. But you would think that a John. giant metal steel drum rolling down a hill would make some kind of noise. And so I'm not sure what all happened, but she definitely did not hear it and got run over. Very, very sad. Then we have little Joe the gorilla, little Joe the gorilla from the St. Louis Zoo dead at the age of 26. Joe just died of a heart disease.

and he'd been treated for a heart disease, and he died of a heart attack overnight. Yeah, very sad. He was a wonderful personality, lovable, grumpy face, and they will be very sad at the zoo, and he will be greatly missed. Now, I will say this.

You know, St. Louis Zoo was on the forefront of the COVID vaccine over the years, so it could have been that. Don't look at me. I'll look at me like that. I'm just saying that it's possible. They didn't say that, so I'm sure it probably wasn't that.

I'm just throwing that out there. According to the Director of Animal Health, one of the most common causes of death and gorillas is heart disease. I mean, they lost another one in 2015, and that was before, you know, the vaccine stuff.

So it could have been that. Plus, we find out that they moved Joe's best friend Junto, to Chicago. And so, he was exchanged for a seven-year-old and now Joe is left without his best friend.

I mean, it's possible that Joe, the gorilla, 26 years old, died of a broken heart at the St. Louis Zoo. So rest in peace. Joe, the gorilla, dead at 26. Okay, speaking of death, I mean, Mama Cass, who died back in 19, And we all have believed that she choked on a ham sandwich, right? That was the joke.

That's what we believed that there's been jokes around the globe about Mama Cass choking on a ham sandwich and how she died. Well, the family's pissed. And they want to write the wrong. And they're saying enough is enough with these jokes, okay? There was a ham sandwich, but she didn't eat it and she didn't choke on it. Okay? She had a heart attack and she died, okay? And so she's not enough is enough with the ham sandwich choking jokes, okay? It's just get over it. All right? She didn't eat it. She didn't choke on it. So enough with the jokes. And this is the daughter of Mama Cass. And so I get how she, you know, was upset and you're making fun of Mom. But It's way too late for that.

I'm sorry. Owen, Elliot Coogel, the daughter of the mama Cass, Elliot, from the mama and papas. It's way too late to remove that from our verbiage around the globe. So sorry. But whether you like it or not, she choked on a ham sandwich. All right, did you see, look, no one supports Zeus more than this show or me. clearly. I tell you about

gorillas dying at zoos, for gosh sakes. But now we have an East China Zoo in the Jinzhou province. Apparently is now painted two chow-chow dogs. They dyed their hair black and white

to resemble giant pandas and attract more visitors. So now they're just painting animals and saying, yeah, those are pandas. Now, people are like, hey, that's really deceptive, and you led visitors to misunderstand what was going on, and they're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're not deceiving anybody. It's just a new display we offer to visitors, okay?

We're not charging extra. The wording featuring chow-chow dogs is correct and exactly describes what they are, so we're not cheating our visitors. We're just painting them up to look like pandas and have them running around like that for the zoo, okay, and for your experience. So why don't you shut up? So maybe coming to an American zoo near you soon is a chow-chow dogs painted as giant pandas. And man, what fun that will be, won't it?

It was about an hour, maybe two before it was launch time. And they said, ooh, yeah, no, we're not, we're not going to launch tonight. They had two astronauts already on board, ready to go, the Boeing Star-Lano capsule, and they were ready to rock and roll. And then it was like,

you know, we've got an Atlas V rocket here, just sitting on the launch pad, but we can't go right now. We've got to go ahead and evaluate an oxygen relief valve at the the Centaur stage on the Atlas v. Our astronauts have now exited the Starliner, and it will return to crew quarters.

So when are we going to launch? Are we going to launch today? We don't know. Are we going to launch tomorrow? We don't know. We're now targeting May 10th, three days from now. We're hoping that maybe we can launch by that time. So will it go off?

I don't know. We made the joke about, you know, it's a little dangerous to think about a Boeing, rocket, blasting into space with all that's going on with Boeing. But we'll see. We shall see. I mean, they've got a Boeing.

Look, I don't want to blame everything on Boeing because I truly believe that it is the airlines that are, you know, neglecting maintenance on some of these planes. So it's not all Boeing's fault. But a lot of it is. And now they're facing a new probe from the FAA over the 787 Dream.

liner model because they revealed that employees may have skipped some inspections and falsified records. Yeah, let's go ahead and check that up. But I'll tell you what, not that Starliner rocket. We didn't do that with the Starliner rocket. So we shall, we shall see what happens. SpaceX has actually been doing the job and Boeing has not. So we'll see if we get a launch anytime soon from the Boeing Starliner. Okay, and we also talked about the Met Gala being last night yesterday on chewing the fat, and they did have the, you know, the Met Gala last night. There was no Caitlin Clark.

There was no Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. Angel Reese did show up, and apparently they didn't get the news because there was the picture there of Angel Reese, and it didn't mention Caitlin Clark. So I thought the deal was, anytime you mention Caitlin Clark, that's right, it's reversed. Anytime you mention Caitlin Clark, you have to mention Angel Reese.

But if you mention just Angel Reese, you don't have to mention Caitlin Clark. That's right. I'm sorry. I apologize. So it was only $75,000 a ticket. And it was fun. Look, it was beautiful.

They all wore beautiful stuff. Did they? Yeah, some of it was really pretty. Some of it was not. But no Rihanna, no Blake Lott. lively. We had some pro-Palestinian protesters near the event that got arrested, which was great. And we also had an AI image of Katie Perry at the MetGala that wasn't real because she wasn't there

and the picture and the whole image wasn't real. So we had that going for us from the MetGala last night. So that was fun. Oh, and I got a new email scam sent to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. Okay, so this is the new scam. And don't, I'm telling you, don't reply. All right, do not reply to these emails. All right, so this comes from some weird Gmail account, so it looks real. And it says, hello there. I'm sorry if this email appears out of the blue, but I think I might have accidentally sent

you an email that was meant for someone else. Please let me know if you received it. And if so, please disregard it. Thanks for your understanding. Owen. This is Owen. I hope this email finds you well. That, I mean, I don't know what, Owen? And for sure, all he wants is for me to reply, hey, no, I don't even know who you are. And I didn't get your, I didn't get your accidentally email. I guess if I reply, that means he's into my system. I guess. I don't know. I just know I just know I'm not replying to it. That's not going to happen. Now, if you replied to Owen, let me know what happened. You can email me chewing the fact. of the blaze.com. Let me know if you replied to Owen, if in fact he sent you an email, you know, out of the blue by accident. All right, I'll leave you with this. It's kind of a joke thought for the day, but it's interesting. It's made my, it's made my algorithm a couple of times,

and I've, you know, I've smiled and kind of, you know, softly LOLed when I read it in my timeline. I've been a lot of places, but I've never been in cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in cahoots with someone. I've also never been incognito either. I hear nobody recognizes you there. I have, however, been insane. They don't have an airport. You have to be driven there. I've made several trips. See what I mean? It's kind of a soft LOL. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
