Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. There has been a class action lawsuit filed in California, alleging that Tesla vehicles artificially inflate odometer readings by as much as 15 to 117%.

Potentially, what they're claiming is they're doing this so that Tesla avoids warranty obligations. The case brought by this, Nairi Hinton claims Tesla's odometers don't use traditional mechanical or electronic systems to measure distance, but instead rely on

predictive algorithms, energy consumption, metrics, and driver behavior, which are considered multipliers, that misrepresent the actual mileage travel. According to Hinton, he purchased

a used 2020 Tesla the model Y in December of 2022 with 36,772 miles on it. He noticed suspicious mileage patterns shortly after. Despite maintaining a consistent driving routine that should have averaged around 20 miles a day, the vehicle allegedly recorded 72.53 miles a day

as it approached warranty expiration. Okay. Over a six-month period, hinting claims that the Tesla recorded 13,228 miles when the actual distance traveled was closer to 6,086 86 miles based on previous vehicle usage patterns. So the lawsuit suggests that Tesla manipulates these readings to prematurely end warranty coverage, which expires at 50,000 miles, increase repair revenue, and accelerate vehicle depreciation. So, according to to one complaint once Hinton's warranty expired,

the daily mileage readings mysteriously returned to expected levels despite driving longer commutes. Wow. Okay. If that's true. Good job, Elon Musk. I mean, that's terrible. You scamming, son of a... This isn't an isolated complaint,

according to this story. Numerous Tesla owners have reported similar disclaiming. discrepancies on Reddit and Tesla forums over the past two years. The lawsuit cites a Tesla patent that describes miles to electrical energy conversion factor that varies based on road conditions and driving behavior, potentially applying lower efficiency multipliers to aggressive driving behaviors that inflate recorded mileage. If this is proven true, they're going to be violating all kinds of federal and state laws against odometer fraud,

which typically target used car dealers and mechanics rather than manufacturers themselves. Plus, are we talking about like warranty fraud? I don't know what kind of, you know, fraud that entails, because now we're gaining the warranty miles, so you're out of warranty, which then enhances their,

uh, their, fixing, costs. Amazing. So obviously Tesla has not publicly commented on the aggregation and this has not been verified

in court so all of this could just be BS. Right. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. As long as we're talking about court cases, we might as well just continue on. A federal judge yesterday ruled Google

violated antitrust laws by illegally dominating online advertising markets with this technology. The decision paves away for the U.S. prosecutors to seek a breakup of the $1.8 trillion company's ad tech business. Will that actually happen? Uh, I don't know. The court found Google unlawfully monopolized two parts of the online advertising market, publisher tools and the software connecting those publishers to advertisers. Google did so by forcing publishers to use both products together, making it difficult for rivals to compete.

A second hearing will determine what Google must do to restore competition. They better not mess with my search engine. That's all I care about. I just want to make sure when I type into Google, you know, my search engine, it pops up. But Jeff, yeah, I know, I know. So the ruling comes after a judge in a separate case in August said Google illegally dominated online search and text advertising.

The remedy in this case still needs to be determined, though the government wants Google to divest its Chrome Web browser. The DOJ alleged that Google's ad server holds 87% of the U.S. market share, 91% of the global share. Wow. The lawsuit also accused Google of buying up wrong. rivals to prevent competition and encouraging employees to delete conversations that would incriminate the company for using anti-competitive methods.

Holy cow. This is the second time in eight months that the company has been deemed a monopoly in court. Yeah. And plus, I think they've got a new case that starts this coming Monday. Don't worry about it, though. I got another case that starts on Monday. Yeah, that's all. Yeah, I mean, that starts on Monday, the webbrose.

browser's fate. And don't forget, this is what they're going after Zuckerberg for. I mean, he's in the middle of testifying his antitrust trial on whether Facebook monopolized personal social networking services. Yeah. Uh, yeah. But that's those cases, that case has not been decided yet. So it isn't. Yeah, it's, well, maybe on that case. And look, can Google and Facebook appeal all of these? Absolutely. Will anything happen because of it in the next month? No. No, it's not going to happen.

It's going to be years down the line. And in the meantime, both of those companies will still be making a lot of money. You can quote me on that. Also, in court, a judge delayed resentencing hearing for Eric and Lyle Menendez to May 9th. That's like almost 30 years after their conviction for the 1989 murders of their parents. So this hearing is going to determine whether their life sentences without parole should be reduced. Man, that's incredible. These guys killed their parents and now it's the parents' fault and we need to be a let out of prison.

All right. Good luck. God bless. And there are plenty of courtrooms filled with people suing the Donald Trump administration for cutting off their funding, including places like Harvard who are saying, oh, you're saying, oh, you stopped. They were getting $9 billion. Are you kidding me?

Stop it. And now they're pissed because that free money is just going away. Yeah, that's right. We're not telling you you can't teach what you want to teach. What we're saying is you can't teach what you want to teach with our money. Okay? It's pretty, I don't understand it. And these judges, many judges are seemingly, seemingly on Trump's side.

But there are some that are not. So we'll see, but there's plenty of this administration's lawsuits going on now. So that'll be more fun. That'll be more fun. And I saw where the Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments in May on whether to lift nationwide pause on Trump administration's executive order to end the practice of birthright citizenship. So there's a lot going on in the courts.

Arriba, Arriba. Yeah, you can still say Arriba, Arriba, but that's... doesn't make you a citizen. So we'll see. We'll come to find out. Because remember the birthright citizenship thing, that is like an 1890 case or something where this Chinese guy was born here.

And then he went back to China. No, that's Japan. The bonsai thing was Japan, I think. So the Chinese guy was born here. And then he went back to China. And then he came back to the U.S. And they were saying, oh, no, you're not a citizen. He was saying,

Yeah, I was born here. I'm a citizen. And so the courts at that time said, yeah, yeah, he's a citizen, he can stay. So that's what they based the birthright citizenship on. It's my understanding. Is the Supreme Court going to side with that, or are they going to say, no, birthright citizenship doesn't exist?

I don't know how the Supreme Court's going to respond. Believe me, they have not contacted me. However, it is interesting to me that we have, this birthright citizenship question, when it does seem like, you know, just because you're born here, doesn't make you a citizen. And then because you're just born here,

now we have the anchor law so that now mom is going to be a citizen. It seems like that doesn't end well. but what do I know? This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here. Introducing the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus, powered by Peloton IQ,

Okay, this story has kind of irked me since about 5.30 this morning. I've just got to talk about it because it really did irk me.

And I don't understand why it's made me so mad, but it has. Okay. So the story is they found a message. There's a message in a bottle that was found. All right. These two guys, these brothers are walking along this beach and they, in the Caribbean, and they find this message in a bottle. Or they find a bottle with a message in it, okay?

And they're excited about it, and they open it up, and it's written by this 14-year-old Massachusetts student. in 1976. And I think, okay, cool, and they're excited. And I'm going to play the news report from you because the news report is excited too. The brothers are excited, the news people are excited. They're trying to find this guy, okay?

Because they know that it's the letter, it says on the note, was written by Peter R. Thompson, a 14-year-old Pentucket, regional junior high school student from West Newberry, Massachusetts. And he was taking an oceanography class at the time. And the note said that the bottle would be tossed into the ocean by the Coast Guard, and you can make out the letter.

They don't read the whole thing, but as you, if you pause it on the screen from the news report, it kind of says, you know, his name and what he's doing, and it doesn't say anything, I don't think it says anything bad. You know, it doesn't say like,

are you, am I the only one that likes dead people? Am I the only one that likes to look at dead fish? I love to gut fish, or something weird. It doesn't say that. It doesn't, I guess, you know, maybe it does. They don't want to say it. I think it's just a,

he's just writing a letter saying, hey, if you find it, let us know. So they find it. The news people go out of their way to help these brothers out. And then I'll play the news report, and then we'll get to the point where I got to

and I was like, you've got to be kidding me. It's a story that starts nearly 50 years ago in West Newbury when a then 14-year-old student penned a message and a bottle as part of a class project. Decades later, he now lives here in Lemonster.

And with the help of some social media, some good old gumshoe reporting. Not me. Two brothers on a mission. That letter is making its way home. Who knows where this thing's been, what it's seen. Okay, so the brothers. The Buffington brothers. It looks like it should be a treasure map or something.

But it's not. It's just a stupid letter, but I decorous. in a bottle from a student of a different time. I'm a ninth grade student from Pentucket Regional Junior High School. Pended in 1976 by Peter R. Thompson as part of an oceanography class tossed out to see by the Coast Guard.

The message in a bottle traveled far and wide. All of a sudden I hear my walkie-talkie crackle to life and my brother- See, they're excited. Something like, you're not going to believe what I just found. Spotted on the coast of the Bahamas, brothers Clint and Evan Buffington,

whose love for beachcoming goes back years knew right away. This was a good five. Right, they're excited. We got to find this guy. It's not how old they are, how far they've traveled. It's the people on the other side. We got to find this guy.

Well, it's both. Actually. And with a little help from social media. I digress there, Buffington. Okay, so. A search comes to a close. All right, so pause for the second. Pause.

Okay, so now the news report has she's got this guy. She's got Peter R. Thompson outside of his house. And they call the Buffington. brothers, okay? And he looks like he's a miserable human being anyway, so maybe that's what ticked me off to begin with. He doesn't look excited. Now, maybe he thinks he's going to, you know, be arrested.

I don't know. Maybe he's thinking, I don't know who's calling me, but they're going to tell me that I'm your daughter from 35 years ago and you owe me money. I don't know what he's thinking, but he looks miserable. Go ahead. someone that you've been looking for. I did, yes, I'm going to hand the phone over to Mr. Peter Thompson.

No way. They're excited. How's it going? It's amazing. It's almost 50 years later. It's a big surprise. Okay, stop. Okay.

It's amazing. It's almost 50 years later. It's a big surprise. What? Are you kidding me? That's what we get out of you for that? Okay, so go on. Go on with the stupid report.

Tells me he doesn't remember writing the message in the bottle. What? Stop it. If you wrote a letter in 1976, as a teenager, to put a message in the bottle, I'll send an SOS to the world, according to this thing.

And I'm going to put it in the ocean. I'm going to give it to the Coast Guard. It's part of my oceanography class. You're going to remember. the letter. I am sorry, you're going to remember the letter. But he doesn't remember the writing the message, but he goes on to say, and I don't know that he says it or if she cuts him off because she's so pissed that he's horrible, that she wraps up the story without him. Go ahead. That oceanography class that he took in high school, the brothers say they are hoping to get that

letter back to Peter. Yeah, she just cut him off. Thanks. Does she give her name? I want to give her. WCVMaha, WCVU Center Bob. Give her a report here for ABC5. As he took in high school, the brothers say they are hoping to get that letter back to Peter sometime soon. Live in Lemonshire, Emily Mahan, Maha, okay, thanks, we appreciate your reporting. And we appreciate your gumshoe work on this and your investigative skills to get these people together. But he was so miserable. She just, she ended it for him.

She said, yeah, he has, he doesn't remember. And he's got fond memories of the oceanography class. I just was so pissed. I wanted this guy to be more excited. I wanted him to at least say, yeah, it was really cool. We made these letters, and we were part of this oceanography class,

and we put a message in a bottle, and I can't believe that somebody finally found it. It's in the Caribbean. I didn't even think about it. I hadn't thought about it in years, and now these guys have got it, and I can't wait to meet these guys, and see my message and talk about it,

and maybe we can donate it to the school or the oceanography class. I wonder if they still have that going on. Something! Be a little happy! Remember what you did! I don't... It just drove me insane.

All day, it's just driven me insane. So please, Peter R. Thompson, I don't know what's made you miserable in the last 50 years. Look, we all have our problems. I know that. I don't know. I don't know what you're dealing with.

I got it. I understand. I understand that there's probable reasons that you are, miserable in in Massachusetts now I don't even think he did that maybe when he was 14 maybe he was taking the oceanography gas maybe he was doing LSD and he doesn't remember but say that say say that just say man you know I during that time I was doing a lot of things in my life and I don't even remember doing that that's really cool those guys found it I'd like to I'd like to meet him I really

appreciate them reaching out to me and doing what it you know what it asked to do in the letter because they didn't have to do that They could have just burned it in the fire and not told you about it. But they thought it was a cool thing. And so they wanted to get happy. They wanted to be happy and alert you that they had found it.

So be happy! I just, I can't. All right, let's go to the break room. I can't, I'm sorry. It was just, I know it's just me. That's just me, I know. But Peter, please, man, get some help. Whatever the problem is, get some help.

All right? Let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink, desperately. A lot of things happening to watch this weekend. I mean, we've got the NBA playoffs kicking off. We have the NHL playoffs kicking off. And yet what leads the news? Lee Corso is going to retire from SportsCenter College Game Day.

Yes, the story about football leads the pack on top of the NBA and the NHL. That's, I mean, it's kind of sad. and I guess I'm excited about the playoffs for the NBA and the NHL, but I feel like I'm Peter Thompson of Massachusetts right now for the NBA. Yeah, wow, that's really exciting. The playoffs.

And I love watching the NHL playoffs, NBA, and I could take it or leave it. With the finals, when the finals, when the teams reach the finals, then I'll care. But really, the main story is Lee Corso retiring. He's done it for, I don't know, 38, 39 years, almost 40 years.

incredible college football game day. He's been the face of it for so long, and he's decided to give it up. I'm sure that a lot of people feel he should have given it up before now, but they held his hand, and Herb Street loves him, so there's just no way that Herb Street was ever going to say anything to get rid of Lee Corso.

He was going to stay as long as he wanted, and Herb Street would cover for him the entire time. and the rest of them. I mean, they all, you know, Coach Saban and McAfee, and they all just, they walked on, it's because of Herb Street, really. They all just didn't want to piss Herb Street off because otherwise it's like, he's got to go.

You know, he's got to go. He's getting a little old and, you know, and I love him. I love him. But there were plenty of times. Anyway, he's going to retire. And he's going to come back for the final show. His final show will be the first college game day of this next season.

which is going to be on August 30th, and he'll be 90 by then. And so, you know, that'll be what the show is based on. And so, you know, they haven't decided what game it's going to be. Okay. There's a Florida State game. ESPN's not going to do a Florida State game.

The Florida State Alabama game? No, they're not going to do that. ESPN and Herbstreet and College Game Day is persona on Grata on. the Florida State's campus, at least for another year or so after their debacle with the playoffs the year or so ago.

So the game will be Texas at Ohio State. Texas is coming into Ohio State. Ohio State's reigning national champions. Texas is a big game. Who did they play for the championship? Oh, that's right, Texas. And so that'll be it. And Ohio State was

the first head gear that Lee Corso put on. And when he started his his reign as the headgear picking soothsayer from college game day. So I'm sure it'll be that game. Arch Manning starts, we'll be starting QB for Texas. Yeah, they're going to do that game. So they haven't announced it yet, obviously, but they're going to do that game.

I don't know if you can make a bet on it at Vegas, but I'm not telling you how to gamble. I'm not telling you how to make any investments. If there were a way to bet on that. one may make a bet to, you know, that'd be a winning bet. But I'm not telling you, and I'm sure that if I put money on it, it won't happen. So just know that, that if I were to put money on this happening, where that's going to be the first game for ESPN's college game day, it's not going to happen, and I'll lose the money.

It'll guaranteed. Anyway, who retired today? but not really until then August 30th Lee Corso have a nice day one more quick sports story Mike Leach former college football

head coach he's been dead a couple years now he died in December of 2022 really sad he was a head coach at Mississippi State and he'll be missing he coached all around the country and he was a character he's one of those guys

that was a huge character and always had funny lines and was always this guy. So I'm reading a story today that they talked about how Mike Leach was talked down. He had this idea of lining up a little person like a midget and giving them the ball and then throwing them over the line of the scrimmage on short-yarded situations. That would have been hilarious. That would have been tremendous. Because I don't think it's illegal.

Maybe it's illegal now. You know, we have the tush push in the NFL. We can't have the midget throw in college football. That would be awesome. He's down on the goal line and he just give the ball. My gosh, it looks like he's having midgets. He's going to try to run underneath the legs of the linemen? Nope.

we're going to give him the ball and we're going to toss him over the line. That would have been outstanding. Now, again, if you're a little person, you're offended, I'm sorry, you know. But come on now. If you can say that the guy can't have a college degree or get a job playing football, if he's willing to get the ball and be thrown over the line of scrimmage. The thing is we had to talk him down.

His other coaches legitimately had to talk him down because he was going to do it. That is terrible is what it is. Terrible. I can't imagine something like that. I wouldn't only have to watch that multiple times before I was like, that's terrible because it's something you can't do. Maybe you can't.

All right. Be sure to follow me on my social media at Jeffrey JFR on X, Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram and Facebook. You can email the show anytime chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I did get an email. It says, hi, Jeff. I mean, I can't respond, but it's an email. Hi, Jeff.

And they're looking for an interview. And I'm not going to do the interview because it's from Aquatots Swim School franchise headquarters. But I'm a fan of what they're talking about. I mean, I appreciate what Aquatats does. You know, I don't need them on the air promoting because I'm promoting it for them, actually. But their email said with warmer weather approaching and May making, marking national water safety month, something to look forward to. Now is the perfect time to share a vital message with your audience.

Many parents still believe dangerous myths about water safety, and the consequences can be tragic. Aquatots Swim School, I mean to say it, Aquatats Swim School, the world's largest international swim school franchise, if you say so, it's highlighting five common misconceptions that put kids at risk and offering expert-backed safety tips

to set the record straight. Now, that's good. I mean, I believe everyone should know how to swim, clearly. There's no question. Everyone should learn how to swim. Because you never know when you're going to need to, you're standing on shore, and you see a message in a bottle out there,

or a bottle with a message in it, and you're going to want to swim to get it. So here are a few examples, according to Aquatots Swim School. I'll hear my child if they're in trouble in the water. In reality, drowning is often silent. Wow. Lifeguards are responsible for watching my child. Over 50% of parents believe this,

but supervision is ultimately on the caregiver. Floodies keep kids safe. Inflatable arm floaties can create a false sense of security and do not teach real swimming skills. Wow. Okay. So I'm a big, look, I've had swimming pools before in my life.

When my oldest son was a baby, we put a fence around the pool, a pool, you know, one of the actual pool fences. I mean, he swam from being a little kid. He was always out there on the steps of the pool. I mean, I big believer. And my two youngest children, I just threw them in the pool. I just threw them in.

There we're going. There you go. Get on there. Get on. This is, you don't how to swim? There you go. Now you do. Drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages one to four. Wow.

I mean, that is so sad. I don't wish that on. I wish that had no one. and they want to partner with a segment. Well, you don't need a partner with a segment, but I didn't get your information out there. I just know that if you have young children, please, it's important that you watch them when they're around water.

And those examples of people the way they think, yeah, I mean, absolutely you do. And so just keep your kids safe. Now, if you want to go to Aquatats Squim school, who happens to be the what is their title the largest international swim school franchise so be it

I'm sure there's others out there or you could just toss your kids in the water figure it out no you don't want to do that okay well do what you got to do but make sure your kids know how to swim

and make sure you keep an eye on it when they're in the water doesn't say anything about how long you have to wait after you eat to go swimming. Because when I was a kid, 100 years ago, you had to wait 30 minutes. Because I didn't eat

30 minutes, which is BS. I always knew it was BS. I don't know why my family believed in that. And I don't say, I don't know why they believed in it, but they made us sit on the

freaking beach for 30 minutes. It was just agonizing. I felt, I felt stupider for having to do it. I'm there with my cousins. And we're on the beach and we're on the beach.

It was a family vacation, waiting, and we were told we had to wait 30 minutes after we eat and I'm like, that's dumb. That's dumb. I mean, what are we, what are we doing? I give you cramps, you'll get these tummy cramps and you could drown.

No. I didn't believe it then and I don't believe it now. Anyway, anyway, learn how to swim or throw them in the water, okay? This is silly. All right, I'm done. With MX 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? Well, we'll begin with Patrick Adarte. I think that's how he pronounced his last name.

I don't know. A-D-I-A-R-T-E. I guess he's a legend. He was in MASH, and he was, you know, he played Don Ho. or I don't know so he didn't play down ho he played

Ho John although he could have played down ho because he played was on the Brady bunch in Hawaii and so he you know

he played all those parts and he was in the king and I the big star and everybody loved him and he had you know all kinds of

he was in Hawaii 5O of course he was in CoJack Cojack I loves you baby and so I mean

he's you know but the story says he dies after devastating health struggle. And I know that he was a talented individual. I got it. And it was a struggle to become a U.S. citizen. He needed the help of one of the candidates,

Senator Kennedy, to become a citizen because his dad was a part of the Army Corps engineers, his mom, and they struggled. And then he came. It was all a do story for him to become an American citizen, which he ended up doing. And he's dead now at the age of 82. It says here that, you know,

after this devastating health struggle. Okay, so I'm thinking, well, what is this devastating health struggle? And in the story, it talks about he died after a long struggle with illness. He died in the hospital from pneumonia at the age of 80. Right. Did you have pneumonia for 20 years? I mean, what was the deal? There's something else.

There's something else. And the pneumonia may have been what killed him, but that's not what killed him. Yeah, I think you know what I'm saying. The pneumonia. May have killed him, but that's not what killed him. Okay. So rest in peace, do Patrick. A-D-I-A-R-T-E legend.

Dead, the age of 82. Oh, you know who else died? Really, it's what died today. The power in Puerto Rico is what died. I mean, that is out, man. Island-wide blackout hits Puerto Rico. Arriva, Arriba. No, that's the wrong.

Mexico's fine. They're good. They're just, they're pissed that they've got tariffs on their, uh, avocados. Don't even, I don't want to hear it. Go ahead. Avocados from Mexico. Yeah, they're pissed that they've, hi, tariffs on. Avocados from Mexico. So blackouts in Puerto Rico, uh, 1.4 million customers without power, more than 400,000 without water.

It's the second massive outage to hit Puerto Rico. Okay, what's going on? Why, why is this? 90% of the people, and they call it. them clients are without power. Okay. Now, I know they're trying to restore some of it. There's people are calling for the contracts of two companies that oversee the generation, transmission and distribution of power on the U.S. territory of 3.2 million residents. Yeah, maybe we fight somebody else. What's going on? They don't know how to keep the lines

up and running. Not sure what's going on. So these massive generating plants, they just shut down. According to this, after a transmission line failed, One transmission line shuts down the whole thing? Okay. We need that needs to get fixed. Especially, they're talking about how hospitals were shutting down. They're running on generators. Airports were shutting down.

And they talked about how passengers, and this can't stand. Passengers on a rapid transit system were forced to walk on an overpass next to the train's rails to evacuate. Yeah, the train shut down. Ain't nobody got time for this? Yeah. Yeah, that's unacceptable. So what is happening in Puerto Rico, man? I mean, stop it with the island-wide power outages.

Hundreds of thousands of people without actual decent drinking water. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that might actually start happening. You start out without water and power? Yeah, that's going to start happening. There's no doubt. You thought the Dominican was bad? Ha! You thought Haiti was bad?

Ha! You ought to mess with the Puerto Rican without any power. So earlier in the week, we talked about how Pfizer announced it would end development of its daily weight loss pill after a patient reported liver damage. Well, then we find out that Eli Lilly announced that the pill form of its popular weight loss

and diabetes injectables proved effective and safe. in the clinical trial, pushing the company shares up, you know, another 14%. So, Zepbound and Mongero, and they're all seeking easier

to use alternatives. Okay. Than the weekly shot versions. Yeah, I don't think you want to take that. You may not want to take that. But the glucagon, like peptide one,

mimic a gut hormone to activate insulin production and suppress appetite. Clinical trials and customer testimony have repeatedly indicated their efficacy. I guess, you know, people are seeing weight loss 10% from when they started. Okay, so their daily pill known as

Orphal Glory Paran. Amorphophallis. Yeah, that's what that is from Eli Lilly. The average weight loss was 8% over 40 weeks in hundreds of type 2 diabetic patients compared to the placebo decrease. So 65% of the patients saw blood sugar levels reach a normal level. So, or four glypron.

Amorphophalus has no food and water restrictions, unlike the others from Novo, Nordisk. So what's happening? These other companies are getting their pill out there and ready to go, and Pfizer says, yeah, ours. We had somebody report liver damage, so we're not doing it anymore? Oh, okay. Kind of weird. kind of weird. I'm not quite sure I understand it because Eli Lilly and they are their full

steam ahead with, you don't want to take the shots, take the pill. And we're good to go. You can lose some weight. What about any side effects or anything? Don't worry about that. In fact, you don't even have to worry about food or water restrictions with or for glapron. Amorphophalic. Yeah, you don't have to worry about any of that. So just go on. You do you, boo, and take a pill and you'll be thin. I think I'm a fan. You know, then I see the story about cooking oils. And it's talking about experts are warning against overusing these common cooking oils

because they contain a fat that is reportedly linked to breast cancer. And it's talking about, well, not with the oils, what they're saying. So seed and vegetable oils don't really have the greatest of reputations anyway. But now, I guess, you know, they trigger inflammation of the body. And they're talking about how these, the wheel Cornell medicine, love them, discovered the linoleic acid, a fat found in seed, vegetable, and nut oils, causes breast cancer cells to multiply and grow. So there are different forms of breast cancer, and the constant use of these

linoleic acids put women at risk of developing the most aggressive type of triple negative breast cancer. Wow. Which informs, you know, which means that they have to do invasive forms. It spreads faster. It requires harsher treatment plan. Chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, all of it. And it's no fun. And I've been a part of that a couple of times in my life.

And it is not a fun process for, the person who has the breast cancer. I'll just tell you that. So the survival rate now is, I think, uh, 90% of people survive with breast cancer. That's pretty good. That's pretty darn good. While the, if you have the seed oil cancer, the linnet oil cancer, 77%.

Ooh. Oh, really good. Yeah, you don't want that. You don't want that at all. But then, so they're telling me how bad it is. This whole article telling me how bad it is, how terrible it is. And, you know, we need to get away from these. And it goes on to tell me that these particular oils, we need to stay, you know, these jumpstart cancer, it's so bad.

Well, you know what? There's nothing you could do about it. So just moderation. That's all you could do. You know, especially with high-risk individuals. Yeah. You know, a balanced whole food diet remains an important cornerstone. cancer prevention.

Yeah, you know, I guess if you're going to, what's considered a seed oil, it's canola, corn, cotton seed, grape seed, soy, sunflower, safflower, and rice all fit the bill. They're high in omega-6 fatty acids and lower in omega-3s, and that's where the problem lies. So,

yeah, there's nothing we can do about it. Wait, what? Why are you telling it's so bad? It's so terrible. Yeah, go ahead. That's just everything in moderation. I mean, that's I think that's the cover of my book. That's the title of my book from Jeff Fisher, a story, one of my books on my life,

Everything in Moderation. Yeah, I mean, that's what it is. That's the story of my life. So I can understand why these doctors would tell you that. But why would they, and they just tell me how bad it is, but eh, don't worry about it. You just got everything in moderation.

You know, eat a balanced diet, a lot of fruits, a lot of vegetables. Oh. Okay. What about the oils? Well, yeah, they're bad, but Ah, go ahead. Just moderation. Oh, should I give them up or anything? Well, you can if you want, you know,

if you're worried about it, go ahead, but we're not telling you you have to. Just tell me whether I have to where I should give it up or I shouldn't, okay? Just tell me that. That's all I want to know. Should I stop using them or not? Period.

I don't want to know, well, you need to keep an eye on. You know, everything of moderation. You know, the canola, the corn, the cottonseed, the grape seed, the soy, the sunflower, the rice. Yeah, those are all oils. What are you going to do? It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything.

No worries, no worries.

I'm just standing here in my living room. Okay. All right, good. All right. I mean, what, did you, we swept up all the glass and we're clean and everything now? I mean, after I went to the emergency room and had, you know, six-inch shards extracted from my femoral artery. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Tennis play. Player Harriet Dart apologizes for saying opponents should put on deodorant during match. Headline number three, activist nuns take on corporate America through stock market investments.

Headline number four, one passenger's bathroom break turned into a $3.4 million problem for Boeing. Those are your four headlines. Headline number one, local donut shop earns thousands with millions of views in first hour of streaming service that live streams donut making. Headline number two. Tennis player Harriet Dart apologizes for saying opponents should put on deodorant during match. Headline number three. Activist nuns take on corporate America through stock market investments. Headline number four.

One passenger's bathroom break turned into a $3.4 million problem for Boeing. Those are your four headlines. Dakota. What is the lie? There is a jet flying overhead. I believe it is either number two or number three. Okay. I can't quite decide.

I'm going to go with the nuns because that seems a little bit more outlandish. Okay. Oh, gosh, darn it. I wanted you to win, too. I told you I made it easy for you. And yet, I mean, you're still, I know, you're still reeling from being, you know, having shards of glass in you. So I'm going to give you, you know, a little bit of a break.

obviously. So, yeah, number two. So, Oh, you want to try again? Are you serious? Oh, man.

I don't even... The Boeing has to be real. So, number one? That would be correct. See, all you do is pick number one. Yeah, that's right. I'm sorry? I totally thought that a donut shop

could make money on a live stream. I'm not saying that the donut shop's not making money on a live stream, that they earn thousands with millions of views. So, I mean, is there as it possible that there's a donut shop out there? Streaming making donuts? Sure. Are they making millions?

I doubt it very much. See, now, you say everything is probably accurate. That's correct. This is one of the cases that it might actually be true. I don't think it is. I don't think it is. At top of which, that's my game show. Okay.
