Good way to start off the show today and let you know about an egg recall. Take a look at your egg cartons. If you've got large brown, cage-free, sunshine, omega, three golden yolk eggs sourced from country eggs LLC of Lucerne Valley. Sorry, I don't want to say they're from someplace else. Lucerne Valley, California. Be aware. They're being recalled. because they may be infected with salmonella. The eggs were sold under several brand names, including the Nagatashi produce,

Mishu, Nizha markets, and country eggs, the sides of the individual fiber or plastic cartons or packages containing the recalled eggs featured code number CA-7695, and sell-by dates ranging from 7125 to 918-25. Okay, so an initial recall announcement was way back in July, where they said, yeah, these eggs were delivered to grocery retailers in bulk to food service distributors in California and Nevada. Well, you know, now we're going to investigate this outbreak of salmonella across multiple states. 95 people have been affected with the strain of salmonella implicated in the outbreak across 14 states.

states, okay. States in which cases have been reported are Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington. 18 people have been hospitalized in the outbreak, but so far, fortunately, fortunately, no one has died. As part of the investigation, they conducted traceback based on where all ill people reported shopping or eating eggs. slash egg-containing dishes during the time frame of interest, and Country Eggs LLC was identified as the common supplier. So if you find yourself with diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, you know, 12 to 72 hours after eating the contaminated product, which would be something made with eggs or eggs from the Country Eggs LLC,

you should seek medical attention, especially if you're, well, if you're the responsible person for a young child or responsible for elderly people and those with weakened immune systems. Those are all at higher risk for severe infection. So get checked out if you're concerned. Just letting you know, as you're cracking open those eggs for breakfast in the next few days, days, just know where they came from. Well, you know, that's a good hint. Always know where they come from. Yeah, you can write your own jokes with that. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Things keep getting better and better for New York City and people are a little wound up,

at least the residents are. New York has a taxpayer-funded safe injection sites and people are getting all wound up in the neighborhood because the drug addicts are now just so zonked out from the safe injection site that close by they're routinely having sex and doing more drugs in the neighborhood. So this on the point East Harlem headquarters was visited by the New York Post and they talked about how they ran into people dittling with themselves, people having sex, people doing drugs and they're just looking around and they're not afraid of anything and people in the neighborhood are all wound up. The one story they talk about, the guy finished and he just zipping his pants and walking away and the woman was still bent

over wondering what's going on. And then after he got maybe three yards away, she said, hey, hey, that's it. And he said, come on. And then she pulled up her pants and ran behind him. Other neighbors are saying it's disgusting. I live across the street from this nasty place. It's driving me crazy. The government-backed shooting gallery down the block where addicts are given clean needles and other paraphernalia to snort, smoke, or inject their drug of choice on site. Open in 2021. I remember talking about this.

This isn't the only one around the country, and they have a second location in Washington Heights. I'm sure that all these cities that have their safe sites are getting the same results. That, you know, they're getting more and more money. Since the nonprofit on point apparently hauled in $16.4 million in taxpayer funds from the city's Department of Health, with more than half coming from the Big Apple's share of the opioid settlement funds from the Sackler family who developed OxyContin. And whose company was found guilty of criminally misbranding the drug contributing to the opioid crisis. Okay. But now we're just having these safe injection sites and we're letting people do drugs on their own,

which, you know, on the surface always sounds good, but it never ends up being good. The annual budget has blown up from 2.6 million in 2021 to 17.4 million in 2024. Wow. But the neighbors have gotten nothing but grief since the site opened. Okay. They have sex in our yards. They defecate behind our cars. It's a mess.

Wow. Pointing to on point for poisoning the block. which is just around the corner. I had a front row seat and I see it all. This lady just lays there. She does her drugs and the guy shows up and takes care of business right there. I'm getting my own porno show.

Are you kidding me? They just don't care. Wow, it's just in the open. That's a level of freedom. It's terrible. Don't get me wrong. But I'm just thinking, my goodness. So people are getting wound up about it, and it doesn't surprise me.

So the city has said that 6,000 junkies consumed illegal drugs as many as 38,000 times at on-point's two sanctioned sites over the past year. And the nonprofit brags about having prevented 1,800 overdoses since its centers have opened. But all the critics are saying, yeah, the overdoses are still happening. They're just happening outside of the walls and on the streets. said they're delaying the overdose deaths because they don't address the underlying pathological behavior which is really injecting yourself with poison yeah i mean that's what's

going on so if a safe site is coming to a neighborhood near you i would do everything i could do not let that happen because it doesn't sound like it's good for the neighborhood huh who would have thunk it so 50 years ago in nebraska there was a time capsule that was buried. It was built with this giant concrete pyramid on top. And Guinness certified it as the world's largest time capsule. A record it held for decades. But in July, in fact, July 4th of this year, and I'm just hearing about it now, which is kind of strange. But on July 4th of this year, the vault was cracked, open exactly his plan, and 50 years later. So this local shop owner, Harold Davison, buried a brand new zero-mile Chevy Vega in a 45-ton concrete vault, wrapped in plastic and surrounded by a Kawasaki motorcycle, thousands of everyday objects and walls painted with messages to the future.

To make sure no one missed it, he even built this giant concrete pyramid on top, which you can see. There are pictures of that. and there's a picture of the time capsule with the Vega in it wrapped in and then boxes and the walls are all painted. There's a Boy Scout Troop 256 painted on the wall along with other little mirages. Pretty incredible along with the, you know, obviously the Kawasaki motorcycle, as I said. So the 75 Chevy Vega, who doesn't love the 75 Chevy Vegas? is, especially in Seward Nebraska. Incredible.

So when you go through the pictures of this time capsule, you see them lifting out the Chevy Vega out of the time capsule. And the pyramid, I've got to talk, I've got to find out from some of my Nebraska people if they've actually gone here and seen the time capsule pyramid. Now, the Vega looks great. I mean, the Vegas looked great at the time when they were new. They didn't last that long once they were on the road.

But it looks awesome in the crate, and it still has the sticker on it. Brand new Chevy Vega with the sticker on it from Chevrolet Motor Division. $3,035.75. A 1970 Chevy Vega. 75, I'm sorry, a 1975 Chevy Vega. Brand spanking new. Zero miles. 3,000.

$35.75. I think that's $35. No, that's 35. Yeah. So that's a good price for that two-door Chevy Vega. And that's with factory installed options and accessories, which is another $58.75. And the destination charge, which was $191.

So that brought the total to $3,335. So the wheel trim rings was another $29.75. The white stripe was $29. So the Vega hatchback was $2,786. But with the little, with the white trim and the bright and the white stripe and the destination charge and the factory installed options and accessories, that brought the total to over 3,000. So you could walk away without some of these, well, without the white stripe and the trim rings. You keep that bad boy under 3,000.

That is awesome. And some of the other things in this time capsule is as interesting to see the motorcycle and, you know, what are the little sayings that people wrote on the walls. Fascinating that it's been 50 years. 50 years since this guy did that. And it doesn't seem like it's been 50 years. Is that just me? 1975.

I know. It's 2025. I get it. Today is the 5th of August 2025. But it certainly doesn't seem like it. 1975 was 50 years ago. And yet it was. So there's that to think about.

Yeah, I know. I know. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest.

Ooh, cashmere. makeup palettes from the brands you love. Brushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals. We get the deals.

You gift the good stuff. You know, when Glenn Beck founded real estate agents I trust, it wasn't because he wanted to start another business. It would because he knew firsthand how stressful buying or selling a home can be. He'd been burned by bad experiences with agents who didn't communicate, didn't negotiate well and didn't put the client's needs first. And really, some of the stories that he's told, he hasn't shared all of them. Believe me.

And he'd done enough moving back and forth around the United States to have a lot of those bad experiences. Yeah, quite a few. So he built a network of professionals across the country who share one thing in common. A proven record of integrity and excellence. These are full-time agents who close deals, know the market inside and out, and understand how to make the process smoother for you. buying or selling a home is one of the most important financial decisions you'll ever make.

And you don't have to gamble on whether you've picked the right partner. Glenn created real estate agents I trust. So you can skip the guesswork and connect with someone you can rely on from day one. Go to real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust. Dot com. Now, if you hit the lotto, you may want to go there sooner than you expect. because we've got a couple big drawings this week and for sure.

We have the mega millions, which is tonight, the Friday, the 5th of September. Wow, we're in September already. I say that every time in the last couple of days. I can't believe we're there. $336 million is the mega jackpot with cash payout of $151.531.3 million. So good luck. No, really. I mean, good luck.

And, of course, we have the massive powerball jackpot, $1.70 billion. That's Saturday night. $770.3 million is the cash payout. And I will let you know. I checked yesterday the winner of $2 million in the state of Texas was not me. I still held hope until I went to the little, reader and it, boop, not a winner. Ah, it's very, very, very disappointing.

So we've got the big drawing for the Powerball on Saturday. Be sure to follow me on my social media at Jeffrey JFR on X. Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and Instagram.

Researchers, and I don't know that I believe this, but researchers at Penn State University have created a groundbreaking technology called audible enclaves, which allows sound to be directed to a specific individual in a crowded environment. So by using intersecting ultrasound beams,

the sound becomes audible only at the precise point where the beams meet, effectively creating a personal audio experience without the need for headphones. So this innovation could revolutionize how we experience sound in public spaces, enabling private conversations, and reducing noise pollution. So, okay, all right. We'll see if that works out. I know that this was created to help people, you know, have better, you know, experiences. Uh-huh. So we'll be able to use intersecting ultrasound beams.

so the sound becomes audible only at the precise point where the beams meet. So you'd get your own audio experience right there in a crowd. Okay, I want to see that work, actually. I want to be in the crowd, and I want you to talk specifically to me with your audible enclave. And then, then I'll be impressed, okay? All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Wow, do I have a lot to watch this weekend?

I'll tell you that. And I don't know that I'm going to be able to get to it all because we have, I may have to catch the first episode of The Paper, which is a spinoff of the office. Okay. It's set in a Midwestern newsroom. It's debuting all 10 episodes at once on Peacock. So it's available right now.

I think it dropped yesterday on Peacock. So I do want to watch that, see if it's worthy. I mean, it's been 10 years since the office premiered on NBC. So the paper hits Peacock yesterday. Yeah. So I'd like to catch that. I have the terminal list, Dark Wolf on Prime. Those episodes are rolling out weekly.

I think they dropped the first two, and then it's going to be weekly after that. According to reports, it hit 3.9 million views in the first five days. And they're saying, oh, that's softer than regular. Terminal list. Terminalist regular opened at 6.6 million in the same time frame. Okay, well, it's not the regular terminal list and the people will get to it. So, I mean, it's still got almost four million in the first five days. I feel like that's still a pretty good number. It's just not the 6.6 million of the original terminal list, which was awesome. I enjoyed watching that as well. And then this weekend we have, uh, what? We've got, uh, the MTV video music awards

on Sunday night. Gaga, supposed to perform. Um, okay, uh, you know, that's, we've got Sunday night football as well. Uh, the Bills and the Ravens going to be a great game. Uh, we've got college football all day Saturday. We got, uh, we had the NFL game last night, which by the way, uh, my point of all NFL stadiums should be domed. Uh, once again, holds true. I don't even need to say it anymore. The game was postponed because of weather. Come on now. That's ridiculous. We should not be postponing NFL football games because of

weather. Those stadiums should all be domed. But then we have an NFL game tonight as well, down in Brazil. Pretty cool. And then we have Daryl Dixon, Walking Dead. Daryl Dixon, season three, starts up this Sunday. So on AMC, looking forward to that, really, I am looking forward to that. And that means that Talking Walking Dead with myself, Jason Buttrill, and my son, Maximus, will be back next week. So we'll be able to review Talking Walking Dead Darrell Dixon's Season 3.

What else is happening? We've got, oh, what's her face? Sophia Turner is officially going to star as Laura Croft in the live-action Tomb Raider series. Feebby Waller Bridge and Chad Hodge will serve as showrunners. Okay. And Jonathan Van Tulkin from Shogun will direct the series. Wow. And they're going to start, they're going to begin filming in January.

So she's not even ready. She's got to work out and get herself ready to be Laura Croft. So she's got plenty of time. She's got three months. She was probably already working out for it anyway. But now it's official. So we got that to look forward to. I'll watch it.

I'll watch it. She's okay. She's okay. We'll leave it at that. I don't necessarily mind Sophie Turner so much. She was great in Game of Thrones. And she was also, she was on one of the shows that remember the stupid show on Quibi, the survive on Quibi, which, you know, no, very many, not very many people saw.

But it was pretty good. That was, it was not bad on Quibi. And I was looking at her, her IMDB, you know, she's been in some pretty big stuff. For sure, her X-Men, Dark Phoenix, she was 60 episodes of Game of Thrones. Yeah, she was in a lot of them. She was awesome. And then she was in a princess home movie, the Princess Bride, one episode. Big Time Jonas Brothers.

I wonder why that was. Huh. I wonder why she was in the Jonas Brother thing. I wonder why. Now, they're not together anymore, so it doesn't matter. But I do remember Survive from Quibi, which was awesome. So we'll look forward to see if she can pull off being Laura Croft. And we just did that story about how younger people love going to the movies.

Well, then I see today where TikTok, the social platform, teamed up with Fandango to let users buy movie tickets directly in the app. They're going to start with Disney. He's Tron Eddie in October. Users can tap Get Tickets button to buy seats instantly through TikTok. Spotlight Fandango says half of TikTok U.S. users

discover new movies on the platform with 36% inspired to take action. Now the algorithm can convert that interest into instant ticket sales. Hollywood's betting that reacting, reaching younger audiences, duh, means eliminating any friction between the viral video and theater seat.

Duh. especially with that last study that came out where younger people are loving going to the theaters and they were talking about how the kids all wanted to go together and have a party. We talked about it here. And that's a good thing. Although, is TikTok going away?

Is it not going away? They're going to continue to get extensions or are we going to make a United States company buy it or if we're just going to keep extending the deal so China by dance can still continue? continue with it. What are we going? What's happening with TikTok? Because I feel like we every, I don't know, six months, we forget about it. And then our president just extends the deadline and we move on with our lives. Just to don't cancel TikTok. Yeah, that's where we're at. Don't cancel

TikTok. Also, CBS, man, they might look different next year or in a year or six months or two months. David Elson, the CEO, is reportedly close to buying Barry Weiss's The Free Press for a couple hundred million, between $100 and $200 million, and giving her a major role at CBS News. Wow. Barry left the New York Times in 2020 over, she had big ideological clashes, and so she built the free press on Substack, and it's a major platform now that challenges traditional media coverage. Yes, it does. And Ellison's saying, look, I'm looking to reinvent the struggling news division with a personality-driven approach that breaks from network news conventions. That might do it.

So be prepared to see CBS News look a little bit different than it does right now. You know, encircling back to the movies a little bit, I was just reading a story about how the movie industry is. We did the story about how movies have gone, more younger people want to go to the theater, right? They want the, they want the event to go see these new movies, which I say is a good deal to bring in TikTok and let you buy tickets through TikTok and Fandango.

That's a good move. But they absolutely need to do something, and that will help a lot because in this story, they talk about almost all of Hollywood's franchises have been so overworked that they are delivering diminishing returns. Brooks Barnes and Christine Zhang from the New York Times said the data shows that this summer's contributions to the world of Jurassic Park and the Marvel Cinematic Universe performed worse than previous iterations.

The summer's top five movies brought in just $1.6 billion compared to last year's top five, which brought in $2.1 billion. And so a significant percentage of American movie lovers may simply never go back to movie theaters. I don't know that that's true. That's what they're, you know, surmising. But there's, you know, it's harder and harder for the public to get excited about, you know, the same kind of movies. And Hollywood better start learning that they need to come up with something that isn't the same kind of movies all the time. And most definitely they need to reach into their pocket and grab, make it more presentable to a younger generation. And one of the ways,

to do that would be to lower your prices at the at the concession stands and bring people in that way as well i've said this i don't know how many times but we just need to advertise that you're lowering the prices at the concession stand i know that's where you make the bulk of your money got it but we don't need to spend 18 million dollars on popcorn and twizzlers and a drink give us a deal. Make it, make it exciting. Make Wednesday night, movie night, and, you know, a $5 ticket night, which you could advertise on TikTok, by the way, and or any social media platform and be able to buy the ticket right then on that social media platform, and then go for five bucks, and you'd have the ticket. And then if you come on Wednesday, movie night, you get

cheaper popcorn, cheaper snacks, and, I don't know, free drink. or half-price drinks or everything half-priced, something to lower the price so it brings people in. So I realize you're making less than $18 million ahead on popcorn and Twizzlers and soda. But you'll get more people through the door, which in turn will make that money back again. I think that's how it's supposed to work, isn't it? Yeah, I think so. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what?

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close you, call 1-8665-3-3-0 or visitcomicsonterio.ca. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Patrick Hemingway. Patrick Hemingway. Yes, the last surviving child of Ernest Hemingway, dead at the age of 97. He was the last surviving child of Ernest Hemingway. He spent years in Africa and later oversaw numerous posthumous works by the Nobel laureate. He passed a year. Way had, Hemingway had three sons. He died in Bozeman, Montana. Wow, he was in Africa and traveled the globe for, you know, for years. So he died in Bozeman, Montana. Okay. So, this is amazing.

Anyway, he apparently just died because they don't say what the cause of death was, but he was at the age of 97. So maybe that had something to do with it. Rest in peace to Patrick Hemingway, dead at the age of 97. Then we have heavyweight boxing great Joe Buggner, Joe Buggner, dead at the age of 75. This guy, I mean, they call him a boxing legend in the story. He had a 32-year professional career, Hungarian-born, British Australian, fought. Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Ernie Shavers, Henry Cooper, Ron Lyle, Frank Bruno.

I mean, he went the distance with Ali and Frazier. And Ali beat him with decision both times in Kuala Lumpur and Vegas. He was two-time British and British Commonwealth champion. He also held a European title on three different occasions. So his official record was 69, 13, and 1, including 41 knockout wins. He was a heck of a boxer. It doesn't say apparently he just passed over dead too because it doesn't say what the cause of death was.

So rest in peace to Joe Buggner dead at the age of 75. Then we have a Hall of Fame basketball coach, George Ravelling, George Ravelling, dead at the age of 88. This guy was, I mean, he played a really influential role, a mentor to Michael Jordan, helped him get the deal with Nike. He was big time. He faced cancer with courage and grace,

according to his family. And it's with deep sadness that they announced his passing. George Ravelling, Hall of Fame basketball coach, dead at the age of 88. Then a couple of sad stories. As if just the regular dying stories weren't sad enough. There's a man that's been charged in Texas, Houston, Texas. for shooting an 11-year-old boy because he was waiting in the shadows. This boy was playing ding-dong ditch.

And he had done it to this guy's house a couple of times. And now this guy was waiting in his own side yard. And the boy and his cousin knocked on his door and ran away. And the boy, rest in peace, dude Julian Guzman, was attending a family gathering about a block away in this East Houston neighborhood. And, of course, they got bored. and they decided to go with his cousin and they were going to play ding-dong ditch

in which pranksters ring the doorbell and knock on the door of a home and then run away. And police said the two cousins had knocked three times on the suspect's door within a span of about 15 minutes. They were just laughing and having a good time. And then that's when he jumped out and chased them down

and shot them. Okay. So according to this, the boy was recording. the incident on his phone. Interesting that the 11-year-old had a phone that he was recording with. Okay. But the phone was recording, and it showed that himself knocking and running,

shots are heard in the video, and there is an audio of the boy gasping. Now, Guzman's cousin told police, I didn't know what to do, only he'd seen in the movies, so he tried to pick him up. And the boys appeared as children, not threatening in any way. Okay. if you say so. I'd believe that. They certainly didn't deserve to be shot by this guy.

Gonzalo Leon Jr. 42 charged with murder. He's been booked into the Harris County Jail. He's a former Army veteran. Spent time in the Reserves. He was disabled in combat and honorably discharged. His defense attorney said, it's fine. And now they searched his house and they found 20 other guns

and, you know, tactical and smoke grenades. And I guess we can't have extra stuff. stuff in our homes anymore. When they find that, that makes you look bad. Now, the police say they found him at a hotel with his car park packed with stuff, and he had booked the hotel room for three days. They claimed that he went there with his wife and his two-year-old child because the media was surrounding their home. So he wasn't trying to get away. He was just actually staying at this hotel because the media was surrounding his home. All right. If all of the people, if all of the people, that is true. It was just these young

punks ringing the doorbell and, you know, ding, dong ditching. They most definitely did not deserve to be shot. I'm sorry, no. As mad as you are at it and as frustrating as it is, no, you

don't deserve to get shot as a young kid playing ding-dong ditch. Sorry, that's just the way it is. And this story is not funny at all, but it made me laugh. Because it's not funny.

And I don't want to hear you laughing with it, me, okay, because just me laughing at it because, I'm laughing at it because it's not funny, all right? A 93-year-old man is charged with murdering his wife, allegedly.

He told police that, yeah, I slashed her throat because I just couldn't take it anymore. See what I mean? It's not funny at all. So apparently, this James Pate told the police department in Illinois that he and his wife, Cheryl Pate, who is now dead, rest in peace at the age of 80, got into a fight in their car when he struck her.

And then he pulled out a knife out of the center console and cut her throat. What a doucheback. But I just couldn't take it anymore. he was found covered in blood at the scene. He admitted to the cops in an interview that, yeah, we were planning getting a divorce, and I just couldn't take it anymore. She wouldn't shut up. See what I mean?

It's not funny at all. It is not funny at all. But he's 92, and she was 80, and I don't, I mean, obviously, I don't wish that anyone and Cheryl's, you know, family and whatever. I mean, they're sad, and this guy is such a douchebag. but, you know, the, apparently she died

from multiple sharp blunt force injuries that were incompatible with life and unsurvivable. Yeah, that would be getting your throat cut with the knife. So he's been charged with first-degree murder. Good. So he's still in jail and we don't need any pretrial release

because he's 92 and he's whacked out of his mind. No question about it. But it just, I just couldn't take it anymore. I mean, no, no, it's not funny. Don't even. You know what? I'm not laughing at this because the guy's a douchebag,

and it's clearly he's a douchebag. He's just a mean, nasty 92-year-old who couldn't take it anymore. 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.
