Starting point is 00:00:00 With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. A new dialect has been emerging from certain parts of Miami, due to cultural intermingling between Spanish and Spanish.
Starting point is 00:00:30 and English speakers. Linguists at Florida International University in Miami said the linguistic development is a perfect example of how human languages are constantly shape-shifting in the face of historical and social conditions. All words, dialects, and languages have a history, said Professor Philip M. Carter, a director of the Center for Humanities in an urban environment. at the Florida International University. So they did a study. The study consisted of asking 33 people in Miami, so it is a huge study. We're walking down the street.
Starting point is 00:01:17 We're calling that a study now. I hope they got government study money for that. Now, out of the 33 people, it included a diverse mix of first generation, Cuban Americans, second generation Cuban Americans, and non-Cuban Hispanic people, what they thought of more than 50 sentences
Starting point is 00:01:35 that were typical of the new dialect. Okay, the sentences then had to be rated on whether they sounded perfect, okay, awkward, or horrible. They had to do a study for this from a university. Now, I just want to be clear about something. You got study money to study what you're considering
Starting point is 00:01:57 is a new dialect. that's been emerging in certain parts of Miami. That's the intermingling between Spanish and English. That's been known for years. I'm not a university professor, but for years, it's been called Spanglish. I don't know if you know this, but it's been called Spanglish,
Starting point is 00:02:24 and we didn't need a study to figure it out. Welcome! Welcome to chewing the fat. Speaking of languages, yesterday we did a story about the new, I don't know, 3,200 words or abbreviations that are now part of phrases that are part of the Cambridge Dictionary in 2024. And we talked about, you know, chef's kiss, something that you think is perfect or excellent. We also talked about the written abbreviation for, if you know, you know, from social media. and I was bugging me all day yesterday because the abbreviation they have in the story is I F Y Y Y K.
Starting point is 00:03:09 That's not right. That's not right. I was thinking to my head all day when I remember saying it thinking, that's not right. If you know, you know, their abbreviation in the story is I F Y Y Y K. No, that's incorrect. It's I Y K Y K Y K, if you know, you know. In this story, they have it as if Y Y YK, if you, you know. It's just, I'm sorry. It's just been bugging me. I had to get it off my chest a little bit. It's just something that, uh,
Starting point is 00:03:46 just get it correct in the stories. That's all. Now, if we don't have enough to worry about in our world today, we do know we've got earthquakes going off everywhere. Officials in West Texas have declared a state of emergency after experiencing more than 100 earthquakes over the past week. Okay. Los Angeles just had a huge earthquake, a 4.9 magnitude earthquake. A number of the earthquakes in Texas and greater Dallas area, really.
Starting point is 00:04:25 They had was a 5-1. Some were 4-8s. And the threes, I felt the three, before it's yeah you just kind of eh you write it out it's like what what was that and then you realize it was an earthquake but they've had over a hundred a hundred
Starting point is 00:04:41 earthquakes in the past week so something is happening underground now I know that I'm sure the environmentalists will blame it on some kind of oil and fracking gas extraction and not so sure I believe that but we do have earth
Starting point is 00:04:57 changes going on and we've had eruptions at Yellowstone we have volcanoes just slowly smoldering in the northwest. So nothing to worry about. Don't worry about it. And if that wasn't enough, we now have to worry about West Nile virus again, especially here in DFW, where I live and where the show originates from. We now have people testing positive for West Nile virus,
Starting point is 00:05:28 the non-neuroinvasive disease. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. So we have individuals that have tested positive for the virus. So just, uh, you know, remember when you just have a mosquito on your arm. Be careful. Don't we have enough to worry about? I mean, we got bird flu. Now we have West Nile.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Now we have to worry about earthquakes. My gosh. I'm tired of worrying about natural disasters. Oh, bird flu isn't a natural disaster, Jeff. Neither is West Nile. That's nature fighting back. Okay. And speaking of natural disasters, we mentioned yesterday about the park fire in Northern California
Starting point is 00:06:08 that was started with a guy pushing his car on fire down a ravine that started this massive fire. Well, we now, it's 14% contained now. So the firefighters are working overtime to get this thing contained. It has burned 373,357 acres. So far, I mean, I'm sure it's, But more than that as we speak, that's just the way it works. The rapid spread of the fire is expected to continue
Starting point is 00:06:42 because the slightly cooler temperatures this week, I guess, have moderated the fire's intensity, but there's going to get hotter by the end of the week. And so the fire will kick up again. Smoke is affecting air quality across multiple states, expected to reach as far as the Dakotas and Nebraska. California has seen 4,574 fires this year, burning 726,667 and counting acres. That's 2,744% increase from the same period last year.
Starting point is 00:07:21 So, climate change. I guess it was climate change that caused the man to push his burning car down a ravine and start the fire. Is that it? Yes. Okay. I mean, that could already be the title of today's show. Okay. Sometimes I just don't have the energy to argue.
Starting point is 00:07:40 So it's just like, okay. Like when we have food recalls. Or some people would say, they're poisoning our food products. Okay. Sure, there's another cheese product being recalled because it was found to potentially contain a dangerous and sometimes deadly bacterian.
Starting point is 00:07:59 That's all. Kenny's farmhouse cheese. cheese based in Austin, Kentucky, love them. St. Jerome Cheese, routine testing by the Kentucky Department of Public Health, detected the presence of a listeria. The bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, frail or elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. The affected cheese was distributed in retail storefronts and the Kenny's Farmhouse Cheese website
Starting point is 00:08:27 comes in two sizes, eight ounce wedge, and a 15-pound wood. wheel. Love those 15 pound wheels. Both sizes are packaged and clear plastic with logo sticker and the lot number 231-1-212-9 on the white label on the side. Now, there's no reported illnesses that have been linked to this recall, and so, so far, and we just, you know, return it to the place of purchase for a full refund, or you could just dispose of it. But why would you dispose of it when you could return it for a full refund? I don't understand. And the other cheeses are still fine, although the production of St. Jerome cheese has been suspended while the FDA and the company investigates the source of the problem. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Then we have the cinnamon recall. The cinnamon shipped the stores in several states being recalled over concerns that it's tainted with lead. Okay. The ALB-USA Enterprises Inc recalled the ALB flavor brand cinnamon powder after analysis conditions. After an analysis conducted by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, loved them, revealed the product contained elevated levels of lead. It's the same concern that prompted the recall of the Wynabana-Schnucks or Weiss-brand Apple Cinnamon Pouches late last year. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:48 The company said it ceased the importing and distribution of the product while it investigates what caused this issue alongside federal health officials. So. Okay. This particular recalled cinnamon package comes in a plastic bag with a net weight of 100 grams. The image of cinnamon powder and two cinnamon sticks centered at the bottom is displayed on the packaging. So be careful out there if you purchase the 100 grams of cinnamon bags. There have not been any illnesses reported so far. So both of these are just out of an abundance of caution.
Starting point is 00:10:26 And lead can affect every bodily system. Yeah, yeah, I mean, you have to have a lot of it, though, don't you? That doesn't matter. That does not matter. Chronic lead exposure in adults is associated with kidney dysfunction, hypertension, neurocognitive effects. Oh, if a child is exposed to enough lead for a long period of time, they're at risk of permanent damage to their central nervous system.
Starting point is 00:10:49 This can lead to learning disorders, developmental defects, and other long-term health problems. So if your child is out there, it's bounding down cinnamon. that's an issue. Again, okay. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Introducing the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus, powered by Peloton IQ. Built for breakthroughs with personalized workout plans, real-time insights, and endless ways to move. Lift with confidence. While Peloton IQ counts reps, corrects form, and tracks your progress.

Well, you'd take it to the bank and deposit it.
Starting point is 00:11:56 You know, unless you won the lotto. I mean, if you're, if you won the lotto, say tonight, if you're listening live, it's 7.30. It's July 30th, 2024. The Mega Millions drawing is a $331 million jackpot with, 156.2 million cash payout. And then there's the powerball with that drawing is tomorrow night, worth 154 million jackpot with $73.3 million cash payout.
Starting point is 00:12:28 But if you were like Mary Venagos in California, she was a little upset when she was, well, she was happy and then she was upset. She found an envelope containing $6,000 in cash, buried beneath some cardboard boxes in her backyard. I don't know why you would have cardboard boxes in your backyard with things buried underneath it, but whatever, you do you, Mary. And you do you, boo, right? But her name is Mary, you got it.
Starting point is 00:13:00 So this person living in San, Sacramento, was happy. She said that she lost it four years ago. And what did I do with that $6,000? I don't know. Just laying around in the... backyard and that's exactly where it was so she took it to her local bank of america and they said oh yeah we don't accept cash like that it's too deteriorated dirty and water damage after the four year stay outside wait what they won't accept it nope so the bank refused to take her money
Starting point is 00:13:36 which was mostly a hundred dollar bills now uh she has to send it to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which is a government agency that prints the money, referred to as the Federal Reserve. Here's the good thing. You can either deliver it in person in Washington, D.C., or you can mail it to the agency, with a fully completed and signed BEP Form 5283,
Starting point is 00:14:08 but the redemption process can take anywhere from six months to three years. So if you were looking forward, like, Mary, to pay some bills with that found $6,000, like, I guess she has an overdue power bill that she wants to pay off. So she keeps her power on. And that can't happen until she either delivers it in person to Washington, D.C., to the BEP facility, or mail it to them with a filled out form and then wait until they get around to it, to deciding whether, yeah, you know, that's a lot. real money, we'll go ahead and
Starting point is 00:14:45 give you some, we'll give you some cleaned up money. So now, instead of doing that, she contacted a local television station. Huh. And so, the television station started poking around, and Bank of America went, oh, you know what? We'll go ahead and, we'll accept $5,700.
Starting point is 00:15:09 We'll go ahead and accept that. We get to deposit that. And we would just, the other three, the other $300 is too beat up. We're not going to cover that. So then, I mean, they're going to send, she's going to send in the other $300, oh, through the mail, I guess,
Starting point is 00:15:27 with her signed BEP form 5283 and see how long it takes for the United States government to process that and get her money back to her. It's interesting that after a TV station started poking around, you know, with one of their local consumer investigation teams. Well, it was CBS Sacramento, by the well, I want to go with Call Curtis, which is CBS Sacramento, good for Call Curtis, the consumer investigations team started poking around. And the bank went, you know what, you know what, we've decided we're going to go ahead and keep that 57.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Well, you know, we're going to go ahead and accept that $5,700. Oh, okay. Well, thank you, Bank of America for being so kind. and helpful to your customers. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Good news for you Barbie doll lovers, and you know who you are.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Barbie has announced two new additions to its growing line of diverse and inclusive dolls, a blind Barbie, and the first black Barbie with Down syndrome. Yay! That's always what I wanted. Aren't all dolls blind?
Starting point is 00:16:58 What do I know? Nothing is what I know. Mattel announced the two new dolls on Tuesday as part of the Barbie's 2024 fashionistas line, an inclusive range of dolls with over 175 varieties of skin tone, eye color, hair color, texture, body type,
Starting point is 00:17:15 disabilities and fashions. The line has represented different disabilities. In the past, we've had Barbies and Ken's with mobility aids like wheelchairs and braces, dowels with hearing aids, hair loss, and... This is the way for Mattel to make more money. You get to the Barbie house.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Now you have to get Ken a wheelchair. I mean, any of the Barbies can be disabled, right? Or maybe come through surgery and need a wheelchair. chair. Okay. These particular new dolls were created in a partnership with the non-profit agencies and advocate for those with vision impairment and blindness and people with Down syndrome. Mattel said through conversations with members of the communities the dolls represent, they were able to incorporate accurate details down to the number of lines on the Barbie's palms. So do
Starting point is 00:18:15 Down syndrome people have less or more lines on their palms? I did not know that. They recognize that Barbie is much more than just a doll. She represents self-expression and can create a sense of
Starting point is 00:18:31 belonging. Yeah, that's good. And so just there you go. Congratulations, Dimitel, for adding to their fashionistas line with their new blind Barbie doll and the black doll with
Starting point is 00:18:47 Down syndrome. Wow. We live in amazing I see this is again. This is again. Okay. I think that is it. That's the title of the show. You know, just okay. Like, let's say the gold bikini worn by the late Carrie Fisher
Starting point is 00:19:10 in return of the Jedi has been sold at auction for $175,000. Okay. The costume is one of the most famous outfits in film history. It includes a bikini top, bikini plates, hip rings, an armlet, and a bracelet. So you get the whole kit and caboodle for $175,000. Nice. All right. So you get it for, they didn't say who purchased the bikini for $175,000. The actress also revealed that during the filming, she had to sit very straight because I couldn't have lines on my sides like little creases. No creases were allowed, so I had to sit very, very rigid and straight. At this auction, a miniature Starfighter aircraft that was used in filming of the first Star Wars film was sold for $1.5 million.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Okay. That's great. This object is one of only two things. filming miniatures created for the production. And a wand used by Daniel Radcliffe in the film Harry Potter and the prisoner of us. Come on. Fetched $52,000. I think that would have went for more.
Starting point is 00:20:30 While a hammer prop from a Thor film. And it doesn't say which one, but a hammer prop from a horror film sold for $81,000. Well, you think that would sell? I mean, I for sure thought that the Harry was. Harry Potter wand would auction off for more than that. 52 grand. Okay. An outfit worn by McCauley Culkin, and I did not know this was up for auction and why wouldn't it be?
Starting point is 00:20:55 An outfit worn by McCauley Culkin in the first Home Alone film was sold for $47,500. Okay. Now, this story, I'm sure many of you will go, okay. the NFL preseason starts Thursday of this week. I know. And the football is back, baby. The Houston Texans are taking on the Chicago Bears in the Hall of Fame game. Now, we'll C.J. Stroud and what's his face?
Starting point is 00:21:32 The number one pick in the draft. Caleb Williams play. I mean, maybe a first set of downs or something. They've got to play one set of downs, right? And then get them off the field. but we'll see. We shall see. So the numbers that these quarterbacks are getting for their contracts are amazing. We saw Jordan Love for the Green Bay Packers just sign a new deal for $55 million a year,
Starting point is 00:21:58 which puts him tied with the top three quarterbacks pay schedule on their contracts. Joe Burrow and Cincinnati gets $55 million a year. Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville gets $55 million a year. Tua in Miami gets $53.1 million a year. Jared Goff. What a loser! Gets $53 million a year. Justin Herbert, even more of a loser for the Chargers,
Starting point is 00:22:26 gets $52.5 million a year. And Lamar Jackson, who thought he signed a good deal, gets $52 million a year. And let's not forget. The quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, Deshawn Watson, who signed a five-year, $230 million contract, which I believe is fully guaranteed.
Starting point is 00:22:47 So I don't know about these other quarterbacks. I'm not sure all of what was guaranteed and signing bonuses, but Deshaun got all of his money guaranteed. Wow, including, it says here, almost a $45 million signing bonus, 44,965,000 signing bonus. So that's an awful lot of money, an awful lot of money for playing football. Good for them.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I'm all for it. I'm all for everyone making as much money as they possibly can for doing the job that they do. But as far as the NFL's concerned, that's a lot of money for one position. So maybe they're going to have to start rethinking their salary caps and have specific positions with separate salary caps so that it doesn't affect the overall team because now you're looking at, you know, we've got to pay the quarterback all this money, which means we have to neglect other positions.
Starting point is 00:23:47 And the NFL won't be happy about that because they want that parody in the league. So they're going to have to start thinking about not only just a separate salary cap, maybe for quarterbacks and then the rest of the team, I would say salary cap all the positions. And make, it just seems something that they need to be working on. But I'm sure Roger will be on it,
Starting point is 00:24:10 Because he usually is. 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.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Brushes, too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got to be able to. you covered marshals we get the deals you gift for good stuff i don't know when this happened i don't really honestly don't know if it's true or not uh you know we could say true do you believe it or not or maybe it's today's version would be true or okay so they have a story here
Starting point is 00:25:13 about a man in india who had been declared deceased but miraculously regained consciousness when the ambulance transporting him to his village hit a pothole. I mean, good? Sure. The man named Darshan was being taken to the hospital by his grandson after falling suddenly ill. Yeah, he died. After, according to reports from local media, love local India media, this astonishing event occurred last week and the ambulance was in route to Nicene when it encountered a pothole. causing a sudden jolt that startled both the vehicle and its occupants. To the astonishment of Darshang's grandson, who was accompanying the presumed lifeless body,
Starting point is 00:26:05 he noticed movement in the hand shortly after the jolt. It was then discovered that Darshan still had a heartbeat, and despite being presumed dead, the ambulance was immediately rerouted to the nearest hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment in the intense. intensive care unit. So the original place they were taking them is where they just take dead guys. They don't take you to the hospital and make sure that the hospital actually pronounces you dead?
Starting point is 00:26:35 No, Jeff. If you're dead, we're just taking you to this place. What was it called this nising? Is that just a place where they take dead people? I don't know. I don't know. But thankfully, thankfully, they hit a pothole and brought him back to life so they could take him to the nearest hospital.
Starting point is 00:26:55 I guess just because you're dead, we're not taking you to the nearest hospital. We're taking you to the dead building. And again, true or okay. Maybe a little Olympic update. That's awesome. The Olympics still are ongoing. The triathlon swimming practice was canceled for a second day in a row
Starting point is 00:27:16 because of the poop river. We may not get a triathlons. in this Olympics because the river is too full of poop. I know. I know. Simone Miles is still going to compete on all four apparatuses in today's team final despite a calf injury. Good for her for not backing out like she did the last Olympics.
Starting point is 00:27:43 I know. That was a health thing. I got it. I got it. All I know is that she backed out and went to the games and then decided that she couldn't do it anymore. The U.S. men's gymnastic team wins a bronze in the team all-round competition.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Their first medal in 16 years. Congratulations. We also have, I mentioned yesterday about Canada using drones. I guess the Canadian team official was arrested at the Paris Olympics for using a drone to spy
Starting point is 00:28:15 on opponents practice. Now we're getting reports that, yeah, hey, the Canada teams have been using drones to spy on their opponents forever. Oh, okay, well, apparently it's illegal. You can't be flying drones over your opponent's practice trying to get, figure out what they're going to do. Also, the official was fined $48,000 and sent home. And then, of course, Canada won the next game. But we find out that both Canada's men and women's team have been using drones to spy on opponents. And then, of course, Canada, one.
Starting point is 00:28:53 for years. So does that mean they have to give up the medals that they've been winning? Because they've had pretty good success in recent years with the world on the world stage. And that's all because they've been cheating. So we'll see what happens with the women's manager, Bev Priestman, who has been set home with the investigations between FIFA. and the IOC are ongoing.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Other things that are ongoing in Paris are the dating apps are looking for serious business. They're working overtime. And maybe not just the dating apps. You can change your location to Paris on TikTok and you can do that on the dating apps as well so that maybe you can take care of a little Olympic business
Starting point is 00:29:46 while you're in France. So Bumble said in the lead-up to the games that they've seen an increase in people. changing their Bumble profile location to Paris, adding mentions of the Paris games in their bios. A Tinder spokesperson said that beginning of July, there had been almost a 20% increase in swiping activity in France and a 103% increase in activity on Tinder's passport mode,
Starting point is 00:30:13 a capability on the app that allows users to search by city or drop a pin on the map to begin liking, matching, and chatting with others in their destination of choice. Oh yeah. And they also had an increase a number of users with a job descriptions, Olympian plus 52%. And I will say, if I'm in Paris
Starting point is 00:30:33 and I'm looking for a little bit of extra business, I may put Olympian or athlete in my job description just for, you know, a little extra bump. I think you know what I'm saying. I guess Grindr has announced that it has temporarily disabled location
Starting point is 00:30:52 based features within the Olympic Village aimed at protecting their users. Oh, isn't that special? That's great. And also on a blog post, a grinder explained that the protocol was first set in place for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
Starting point is 00:31:09 And the goal with removing these capabilities will allow LGBTQ plus athletes to connect with each other authentically without worrying about prying eyes or unwanted attention. Yeah, you don't want that. You don't want that. especially when you have sex and relationships at the Olympic Games.
Starting point is 00:31:29 I mean, I know they banned sex at the Tokyo Olympics, but they just, they issued condoms anyway, you know, just in case. Just in case. So there's plenty of Olympic business happening in Paris. You can count on that. And at the time of this recording on July 30th, 24, this medal count is a little disconcerting.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Now, we're going to win. We're going to win the metal count. We're going to win the most golds. Overall, I have confidence. But as we speak, China is number one. Then Japan, then France, then Australia, then the Republic of Korea,
Starting point is 00:32:13 then the United States. Now, we have the most medals right now with 20. But we have that's gold medal. we're in what sixth place in gold medals but we're you know we still have the most medals we're going to win
Starting point is 00:32:30 we're going to win that we're going to win the most medals and we're going to win the most golds but right now we are in sixth place for gold medal in the United States now I mean that's great I mean we also are in first place
Starting point is 00:32:44 as far as you know the silver and the bronze but I don't like that gold medal I don't like that gold medal I mean congratulations Canada's got a couple. Italy's got a couple. Germany's got a couple. Kazakhstan. Okay. What did Kazakhstan win in gold?
Starting point is 00:33:01 Let's take a look here. Kazakhstan. They won a gold medal in judo. Okay, well, congratulations. Congratulations to Kazakhstan for winning a gold medal in judo. They also have a couple of bronze medals as well. I think those were in shooting as I was looking up for the gold.
Starting point is 00:33:22 It said that they won some medals in shooting as well. So congratulations. South Africa has got a gold. Belgium's got a gold. Azerbaijan has a gold medal. So congratulations to all those countries who have gold medals. I apologize for how good the United States is, but we're leading the medal count except for,
Starting point is 00:33:42 well, we're leading the metal count total right now. And we will win the metal count in bronze, silver, and gold. If we don't, that's embarrassing. That's embarrassing. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what?
Starting point is 00:34:15 Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Feel the fun. Morning will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating.
Starting point is 00:34:32 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly Concern by your gambling or that if someone close you, call 1-8665-3126-0 or visit comicsonterio.ca. All right, we have a number of airline mishaps that have been reported like this American Airlines flight that was forced to make an emergency landing after a passenger, Neil McCarthy 25, I guess we know his name and his age, reportedly exposed himself and urinated in the aisle. Why? Why would you... I don't know. He had consumed several Jack and Cokes, was flying from Chicago to Manchester, New Hampshire, but the flight was diverted to Buffalo,
Starting point is 00:35:13 where he was arrested. Police obtained a photo from another passenger showing McCarthy exposing himself. He faces charges of indecent exposure and could face up to six months in prison and a $5,000 fine. American Airlines commended its team and passengers for their professionalism during the incident. Dude, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:35:39 I'd be angry because now you've diverted everybody. Plus, you're making the aisle smell like pee. What's going on? Go to the bathroom, you doofus. Then we have the American Airlines flight that had engine failure. It returned to DFW. And they were saying, I mean, this is something I guess happens probably. I don't know, infrequently or frequently,
Starting point is 00:36:01 but we're getting reports of it now because people are tracking it because we've had so many issues with the airlines and the airplanes themselves. So this American Airlines flight was returned to DFW and we need crash, fire rescue, on the runway. Now, fortunately, I don't think we would have heard
Starting point is 00:36:24 if something happened and nothing did happen. So this was just an everyday safety safety. measure once they lost one engine. It'd be a Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. We have an engine scale. We're gonna return back with you. Yeah, we'll be right, I'm a little busy. Fuel remaining in minutes and sold on board.
Starting point is 00:36:46 I'll about three hours, a fuel and a hundred eight toll. Oh. American 1552. Are you ready to go back to D.FW now or did you need to have fuel? Uh, no, we need to land. For you a second, all right? I'm drinking my coffee here. All right now we're coming back, bro.
Starting point is 00:37:36 18 left, 18 left. Yeah, dummy. That's correct. That's correct. Yeah, that's what I said. Now, I'm making fun of it, but I'm glad that he's double-checking because let's make sure that we're set up for me to land on the correct runway, please. That's not a runway, it's a landing strip, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:38:02 I know, same thing. Then we have a United Airlines flight where crew and passengers were vomiting due to some kind of biohazard from a passenger. Now, they diverted the flight. to Delis. I would not want to. We could go ahead and land that plane,
Starting point is 00:38:22 but nobody gets off. We are going to cover you with some kind of plastic covering and take a look before any of you get off. I don't know what's going on on that plane, but, man, I'd be pissed. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:38:36 So it's a Houston flight to Boston, and they diverted to land in Delis because of this biohazard. Oh, no doubt. doubt. No doubt. No doubt. We need to get this plane on the ground. Asap. Now, he's talking about going to to Cleveland, but it was diverted to Dulles, according to all reports. And good. If there's some kind of strange biohazard, let's bring that to Washington, D.C., by all means. Let's leave
Starting point is 00:39:36 Cleveland alone. They've got their own issues. But holy cow, if we're like one, multiple people are puking on a flight and you're on that flight, yeah, you are, you're going to be puking too. I bet it was nasty.

I also, you can email the show anytime, chewing the fat at theblaze.com, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I got a couple of emails that I want to share with you today, one from a Christy who said, which I think is probably a good idea. I hadn't really thought of it much, but it's probably a pretty good idea. Like when you had the guy tell me when you go to a hotel room and the first thing you do is rip off all the sheets and all the betting and tell the hotel to bring you clean ones, fresh ones because those will be freshly cleaned and that gives you an opportunity to look for bedbugs and there's you know get all that old stuff out and get fresh clean ones in and he swore by it he
Starting point is 00:41:20 swore by it's a you know you got to be a stickler but that's what he swore by according to christie the second dirtiest thing in any bar and what's the first bar made oh stop it restaurant gas station etc is the ice uh always as a bar I have ordered my drinks without ice everywhere I go for a decade at least. So when you go places, think of it. Is it something? I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:41:50 You got to stick to it. If you're going to order something, because remember we did the story, I don't know, a week or so ago about, and thanks for catching up to the shows, Christy, about how dirty ice is. And so there's something to think about when you're out in the point. public ordering drinks. And then I got an email from Michael who wanted to tell me that at his work, there is apparently an HR person or a lady there that he works with that puts up jokes, silly jokes and stuff
Starting point is 00:42:26 on the bulletin board. And he wanted to share it with me, the little joke that his co-worker put up on the bulletin board. So this is going to be the joke of the day on the Chewing the Fat Bulletin Board Today from Michael. A guy wants a divorce and he tells the judge, I just can't take it anymore.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Every night she's out until way after midnight, just going from bar to bar. And the judge asked, well, what's she doing? And the guy says, looking for me. See, because he's out at the table. the Ah, you got it.
