And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
So yesterday, today and tomorrow, we need to celebrate an anniversary.
So if you're listening live, today is the 16th of August, 2023, which makes yesterday the 15th and tomorrow the 17th.
And those are the days that made history in 1969.
Woodstock
Billed as an Aquarian
Exposition
Three days of peace and music
Nothing but peace and love, baby
You know all us people from the Bay Area
We're real LSD freaks
The stuff that they're passing out here today
May or may not be LSD
But there's a chance that you won't have a very good trip
Yeah
Now what you're supposed to do after you know that
It's just supposed to stop taking it
I am informed that somebody somewhere is giving out some flat blue acid.
Oh no.
It is poison.
Oh no.
It's deadly serious, man.
Be cool.
Those of you who have partaken of the green acid, if you would, as soon as convenient, please go to the hospital check.
There is someone giving out some flat blue acid.
Oh, no.
It is poison.
There are 15 people who are very ill from it.
To get back to the warning that I've received, you may take it with it.
how many
grains of salt you wish,
that the brown acid
that is circulating around us
is not specifically too good.
Wow.
It's suggested that you do stay away from that.
Of course, it's your own trip,
so be my guest,
but please be advised that there is a warning
on that one, okay?
It's your own trip.
So, wow, the memories of Woodstock, huh?
Peace and love, baby.
Welcome to Chewing the Fats
So if you're
sipping your coffee, drinking your soda,
drinking your beer, whatever
liquid refreshment you're refreshing
yourself with now. And you're thinking
yourself, man, I wish there was
a city that I could rob from
when there just wasn't any police
officers. Well, you're in luck.
Good Hugh, Minnesota.
All the police department
has resigned. They have no
applicants to fill the vacancy.
so the future of law enforcement is, well, to say the least, uncertain in Goodhue, Minnesota.
Now the police chief said he's going to remain on the post until next week.
But that's it.
And so I'm out of here.
You know, they didn't want to stick around because you weren't paying them enough.
I can't find anybody to replace them.
so I've called every PD around
and there's no young people getting in the game
especially for what you're paying them
and there's nobody
wants the job at all
so look took the city
councilmen by a little surprise
did it
did it okay all right
so for sure they have this
you know the local sheriff's department
will be the police
force. And a lot of cities
let the Sheriff's Department take over
their policing anyway. But there are
cities that like to have their own
personal police department. And I
get that. But in today's world,
I mean, you're still going to have the Sheriff's
Department. But now's the time
is my point. Because the Sheriff's
Department hasn't hired extra people
to take over the new lands
they're going to be policing. And the
old police department is now shut
down. And believe me, when the
police chief
is the last man standing
and he's only there for a few more days
he's not going out on calls
okay he's cleaning out the desk
he's having a couple extra donuts
he's preparing to go fishing
he's back at the office
just going uh yeah no just
go ahead and yeah
now that I'm not sending anybody to jail
no that's not going to happen sorry we're just going to
you know reroute the 911 calls
to the sheriff's department
Maybe they can get it.
So I'm just letting you know.
Good Hugh Minnesota may be a good place to go if you wanted to commit a crime.
I am not by any way, shape, or form saying that that's okay.
I'm just saying if someone were to be in that mood, that would be a good place to be in that mood with.
We also have a new study that has really.
revealed a rise in emergency room visits have occurred since the beginning of the pandemic
for dog bite injuries.
Now, you know that this show, I mean, I support zoos and animals like no one.
No one supports zoos more than me.
And they are good for, you know, keeping animals safe and providing shelter for these
animals.
But I'm also humans first.
So when animals start attacking humans, I say,
here, little doggy, no, you're not going to be biting little Bobby.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah, no, we're going to have to put you down.
Sorry.
So one study published in the Journal of Craneo-Facial Surgery,
and man, do I love the Journal of Cranio-Facial Surgery.
They published a study last summer that found,
that dog bite injuries had nearly
tripled as the share
of pediatric emergency room visits
over the span of several months.
Wow. Up around eight cases
for every thousand patients.
And it still isn't that many, but
it's a lot. It's a lot.
We've got to do a study.
So the increase in bites is
likely to be associated with
stay-at-home orders, bringing dogs
and children together for longer periods of time
and perhaps in closer quarters.
Oh, it was the pandemic's
called. What, no warmer weather? It's alarming to note that the spike of incidents of dog bites
has peaked, yet persisted, even as states continue to slowly relax social restrictions.
Yeah, so it's still going on. It's not just the pandemic. So it's got to be weather.
It has got to be weather. I have to read the rest of this because it definitely has to be
because of the weather. So they talk about here, both studies focus on.
children who tend to suffer more serious injuries in dog attacks because of their size in relation
to the animals. Yep, got it.
The dog bites.org, and I don't visit that every day, but I will now, from now on dogbites.org.
I'm sure they published a copy of the study from the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery.
They said that 81 fatal dog attacks in 2021, the most recorded.
in any year by the CDC.
So many of these dog attack fatalities are women in households with three or more dogs.
Yeah, okay, so if you've got three or more dogs, maybe that's a sign of something else as well.
I don't know that.
I don't know.
I've not a worker for dogbites.org.
I have not published any works in the Journal of Craniophacial Surgery.
that's just a guess.
If you have three or more dogs in your home,
perhaps there's another issue.
I don't know.
I'm just saying.
Now, of course, other theories suggest
that online marketing has spurred
unethical breeders that sell
improperly socialized dogs
and social media videos
raking in millions of views of staring contests
with dogs or videos of pets smiling.
That's a stress smile, okay?
according to animal behaviorist at Best Friends Animal Society,
Carly Fawn,
during the stress smile shows unease
could lead to a bite.
Okay, all right.
Stop it.
Okay, and of course,
ta-da!
Tada!
Other research shows the dogs may be biting because of the heat.
We had to get to the weather.
Yes.
New research from Harvard Medical School
and Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital.
You don't see that often, Harvard teaming up
with the Spalding Rehab Hospital,
but here you go.
Showing that dogs were more likely to bite
on hot days,
which the current summer has many of.
So there are lab studies
indicating that rats are more aggressive when exposed to heat stress.
So they believe that it's shared across species.
Oh, okay.
So it's because of the heat.
The dogs are biting more because of the heat.
So just be careful.
If you have three or more dogs, you may want to reassess your life.
However, I'm not judging.
I'm just saying I get it.
I get it.
We now have a dog in my household, which I swore.
we would never have.
And I said, no, you're not bringing a dog home.
No.
So anyway, as I'm getting the water out for the dog the other day,
I put my foot down and said, no.
And now I'm playing with the stupid dog.
It's an American bully.
It's a big strong dog.
I mean, he is a big dog, man.
He's strong.
And he's funny because he'll be wandering around.
He'll look at him, be looking around.
He's waiting for somebody to give him a look.
so he can jump on him and you just look at him and he's looked he catch him by on a side eye he's
he would jump on you just like that man he's ready to go anyway so i'm playing with it my daughter's
like yeah you're playing with the dog you said you didn't want the dog and you're playing with it
what am i supposed to do the dog is right there i'm i just supposed to treat it like it doesn't exist
i mean i could only hit it when he's misbehaving he can't punch it every day they don't get
you know they lose it loses it it it's punch when you punch him every day
like that. You have to do it
you know when it matters.
So just
no, dogs are still
biting out there and so
if you run across a dog
that looks like it's having a stress
smile, just
you know
don't let it, don't growl
again. Don't growl
again because I don't
want to have to
I don't want that.
I don't want that, but it could happen.
You know, growing up, cereal was one of the best parts of being a kid.
But as I got older, a lot older.
I had to, you know, start watching out for sugar and empty carbs.
Well, Magic Spoon has amazing flavors you're going to love.
But high protein and less sugar.
You know, I was talking about this the last time we were talking about Magic Spoon.
So I sent some down to my wife's grandkids.
And I'm going to share some pictures with you later today.
They're all enjoying Magic Spoon.
It's really good for a snack.
I mean, the four flavors are cocoa, fruity, frosted, and peanut butter.

four or five net grams of carbs, only 140 calories a serving.

Whatever. At Jeffie, JFR.
Facebook and Instagram is Jeff.
Fisher Radio. You can
always follow the show on
YouTube Chewing the Fat at
the Blaze.com. I see some new
things are happening with YouTube.
They have got a new plan
for health information.
It makes me a little nervous
that they say that they're going to tackle
cancer misinformation as part of
its updated health policy.
I'm sure that'll be
great. And they
say, the internet is a source of
many things. But,
But YouTube's new guidelines for health content will fall under three categories.
Prevent, Treatment, and Denial Misinformation.
Prevent will review and remove videos that oppose guidelines set out by trusted authorities
or contradict vaccine safety and efficacy.
Huh. Interesting.
The treatment should center on taking down any misinformation about treating medical conditions,
including unproven remedies.
The platform claims that denial will focus on removing any content
that makes a false claim.
You know, like people dying from COVID-19.
Fault, okay?
We all know that doesn't happen.
Don't look at it.
You okay?
You all right?
Okay.
Don't look at me like that.
Even coughing.
Don't look at me like that because you know it's not true.
Okay?
That's good that YouTube is going to do that.
You know, for our safety.
Agonizing.
You can always email the show,
Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com,
and you can always order a cameo from me at Jeffrey JFR.
That's not free, but, you know, just order a cameo.
Tell me, want me to be happy, glad, sad, mad, mean, whatever you want,
and then I do it.
I'm just like a trade monkey on cameo is what I am.
Now, if you listen to this show long enough,
you know that I've always wanted a Guinness World Record.
I want one in my name, okay?
and I don't necessarily want to do all the work that it takes to get one,
but I want one in my name.
And I've had a couple of great ideas to get one,
and I just haven't followed through on it because I'm lazy.
But when you think, I was reading about a Guinness World Record
that, you know, I don't think I could do this,
but it is the largest collection of sock monkeys.
Now, when you think to yourself, sock monkeys, what do you think of?
Well, just like me, hello, you think of Rockford, Illinois.
Duh, it's the birthplace of the sock monkey.
Now, I apologize to all Rockford, Illinois,
Illinoisans, but I didn't know.
I didn't know that you were the birthplace of the sock monkey,
but I do now.
So it makes me want to go to Rockford, Illinois.
So apparently, Rockford's,
it started with the socks
of the Nelson Knitting Company
in Rockford was the first to create
a pair of socks that didn't have a seam in the heel
back in the 1800s
but the famous red heel
that's associated with sock monkeys
came around 1930
when the company was known
for Forest City
knitting. During the Great Depression, some women began
creating dolls out of these famous
red-heeled Rockford socks.
and from there the sock monkey was born.
So proudly made in Rockford.
Now, let's be clear about something.
Rockford does not hold the Guinness World Record of Sock Monkeys.
I know.
It's sad.
So they have the Midway Village Museum in Rockford with the sock monkeys.
But, and it's a whole exhibit, you know, with sock monkey history.
Boy, I bet you that's awesome.
You want to get a cone and go through the sock monkey museum?
Yeah, okay, let's go.
This is awesome.
No way.
Oh, stop it.
No way.
That'd be awesome.
You walk out of there with a sock monkey?
You happy to see me or is that a sock monkey in your pocket?
Anyway, they don't hold the record.
According to the Daily Herald, the sock monkey museum,
in Long Grove, Illinois, holds the current title.
Not the Midway Village Museum in Rockford.
What the hell?
So they are honored, the Sock Monkey Museum,
they are the world's largest handmade sock monkey collection.
And this has been rubber stamped by Guinness.
So it's a done deal.
They have 2,098 sock monkeys handmade.
with the Rockford Red Heel socks,
but it doesn't belong to Rockford.
Okay, they're using the Rockford socks.
Seems a little unfair.
It's a little unfair to Rockford.
I'm a little pissed for Rockford
and the Illinoisans from Rockford.
So congratulations for
for being the Guinness World Record
of the largest handmade sock monkey collection.
I mean, it makes me want to do something.
You know, we need to get some people making sock monkeys for Rockford
so they can get the record.
So they can tell Longgrove to go take a hike or take a sock or take a foot or take a monkey
or whatever you tell those people.
Tell them that.
Oh, and you know, I wanted to apologize to Wayne Brady.
I didn't get a chance to congratulate him last week when he came out.
why I say came out.
When he, well, he opened up about his sexuality during an interview.
Then he wanted everyone to know that he was pansexual.
So, Wayne, love you.
Thanks for coming out.
Man, we needed to know that.
But it was more about you, really, wasn't it wasn't about us.
Now, he's the host of Let's Make a Deal, which I love.
I love that show.
I'd love to be the host of that show.
I mean, while I am the host of America's fastest-growing game show, what's the lie?
would like to have, you know,
what's the, let's make a deal.
Awesome. He's not Monty Hall,
but I know, who is?
But he said that he had suppressed his sexuality
and felt worried about
people finding out. Yeah, because,
man, we are not in the mood to hear
your pansexual.
Okay.
Stop it, Wayne.
It's 2023.
I mean, please.
Okay, so he also was feeling shame about not being honest about himself.
Oh, so it was more about you.
Wasn't it, Wayne?
So he went on to say that, you know, look, I loved all the Wayne stuff.
He was in whose line that is anyway, great show, a lot of fun.
I did catch Wade on Dancing with the Stars.
I am sorry.
So he posted a video on Instagram advocating for mental health
and announcing that he is part of the LGBTQ plus family.
Now, let me say this to you, Wayne.
I know you're 51 now.
I don't know that it was a secret.
We probably guessed it.
And it was still okay.
Want to know why?
Because we liked you.
And it's okay.
It didn't matter.
And it still doesn't matter.
But he wanted to be sure that he's pan-you-to-know that he's pansexual,
bisexual with an open mind
Me too
me too
Wayne I am right there with you
pant means being able to be attracted
to anyone who identifies as gay
straight by transsexual or
non-binary being able to be attracted
across the board
me too Wayne
me too
You see something, you'll love something.
Am I right?
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.
Okay, well, if you're wondering, man, you know what I need to do?
I'd like to spend some time in California and Santa Barbara only I just don't have the money and I don't know what to do.
So I see this post from Ashton Coutcher and Mila Kudis.
It's Mila, right?
That's how she wants it pronounced.
So anyway, they're sitting on the beach, Mila and Aston.
And Ashton says, well, I'll let them tell you.
Hey, babe.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
I have a really dumb idea.
Why are you recording?
Because it's a dumb idea.
We'll make sure we get it like recorded history.
Okay.
It's dumber in my mustache, I promise.
I'm sure.
Ha!
Thank you.
What's this idea?
Okay, I think we should have complete strangers come and stay with us at the beach.
It's so nice here.
Like in real life?
Yeah, like real life.
Yeah, that's what he means.
What?
In real life.
No, just make believe.
You'll like it.
Yeah, I think they'll like it too.
Okay.
So we're doing it?
What?
Great.
Okay, so they're doing it.
All right?
So he's putting his beach house up.
The beach house.
Not their house, by the way.
Let's be clear about that.
This is the dump over there.
You're not staying at the same house with them.
But they're going to Airbnb and zero dollars for the bookings open up today.
For those of you listening live, it is the 16th of August, 2023, at 12 p.m.
Central time, right?
So he's on Pacific time, 10 p.m. Pacific, whatever it is.
So there's Santa Barbara County Beach House is our home away from home.
Not where you're going to be staying, but a beach house is our home away from home.
The dump over there is just part of it.
Okay.
But hey, that's okay.
It's nice of them.
I got it.
They're being nice.
All right.
So all you have to do is jump on the old Airbnb and book the booking process.
It's going to happen Saturday.
right it's for Saturday
this coming Saturday
at the
Mila
and Ashton
I keep trying to pronounce your name as Mila
Mila what is it again
Mila yeah Mila that's what I said
I never could remember a stupid name
that'll go over great when I stay at the beach house
I can't remember your name Ashton I barely
remember yours okay but thanks
okay and no I know you're going to be wanted to record some stuff for your
content I'm not putting my clothes
back on. Yeah, no. Look it.
You're going to have to pay me, okay? A free stay at the dump
down the road from your house to the beach house is not going to be
business content, okay? It's not going to happen.
So they tell you on the website when you go to Airbnb.com
and they have a link in the story. So it's the Santa Barbara County
Beach House. It's our home away from home, especially when we're in need of some
R&R. You fellow parents know what we're talking about.
Yeah, I get so tired of the kids sometimes.
I just have to get away.
I don't have a beach house to get to, but you know how it is.
I understand.
Steps from the beach house with beautiful views of Santa Ana's mountains,
and you'll find no shortage of sites
and plenty of activities to make for an unforgettable summer stay.
So we're right.
There's no doubt about some unforgettable views, is what I want.
So booking for our guest house opens today,
the 16th, 10 a.m. Pacific, one night's day, up to four guests this coming Saturday, the 19th, okay?
During your stay, you're going to enjoy all that our beach house has to offer. You can sink your feet into the sand as you enjoy a cup of coffee out of the beach.
Hike nearby trails. Yeah, that's what I want to do is go hiking. Man, when I think of relaxing, hiking.
In a gorgeous panoramic views, enjoy local bites and shops.
just steps away from the coastline and soak in those summer rays.
Plus, we're going to capture some content together to commemorate our SoCal State.
Yeah, I know.
We already discussed that, okay?
Now, we'll be there to greet you upon arrival and make sure you have everything you need for a fun-filled stay at the beach.
Oh, yeah.
Thanks for meeting us, okay.
All right. So that means that we're going to be there and say hello, but we're staying over here and you're staying down at the dump. Okay.
So you get meals and snacks provided. That's pretty nice of them. Let us know if there are any allergies or dietary restrictions we can keep in mind. Yes, my dietary restrictions are I can only eat half a cow on Saturday of the 19. So I need one in the freezer. Okay. Hey, you know what? Just make it a quarter of a cow. It's all. I don't want to be sound greedy.
or anything. Don't do that.
It looks like a really nice
little house too. It's a nice little home.
It'll be sweet to be there.
And it houses up to four guests.
I'm guessing, and I don't know this,
you know, that there's, you're not going to be sleeping
on a cot.
You know, if you could, though, you just don't know.
It's a nice little pool. It's on the beach.
It's a nice little pool house.
And that's why it's so nice because that's where we have
guest stay.
because we don't stay here.
We're staying over there.
But hey, it was nice of them.
Ashton and Mila.
That's what I said.
And they're going to be there to greet you.
So good luck.
Have fun.
Send photos.
Not the ones they take.
Happy birthday.
Wishes are in order for Elizabeth Francis.
She is celebrating her 114th birthday.
No, stop.
Stop.
That's only available if she has a lot of money.
All right, that, I draw the line not that.
If she's 114 and she's got a lot of money,
Elizabeth, how you doing?
But it doesn't say anything about that.
I'm just wasting her happy birthday.
All right, so she celebrated, again, her 114th birthday.
No.
Okay, fine.
Her 94-year-old daughter and her 68-year-old granddaughter
were there to celebrate with her.
She is the oldest living person in the great state of Texas,
second oldest in the United States,
and the seventh oldest in the world.
So happy birthday, Elizabeth Francis,
at 114 years of age.
So last week we talked about the robotaxis in San Francisco,
and we talked about how they were okay to go 24-7 in San Francisco.
And I said, you know, just write your own head,
lines because the news stories are coming. So then this week, first part of this week, we talked about
how they, over the weekend, already having problems. They blamed it on the cell phone company,
but they shut down, 10 of them shut down in their bar district, just stopped moving. Clogged
up there were like boulders, giant stones in the road. All traffic stopped because the robotaxies
just stopped. And the company said, oh, that's the cell phone company. There was a big festival going on and
something happened and some towers went down
and so we couldn't get to them.
We couldn't turn them on.
It only lasted about 15, 20 minutes or 30 or something.
We don't even know.
But sooner or later, they started back up again.
We got connection.
We got Wi-Fi again.
And we were able to move the robo-taxies.
Well, now we're getting more reports.
And I told you this was going to happen.
I mean, it's just, and of course this is going to happen.
I mean, we got reports.
You know, the Uber drivers are saying,
And people are having sacks in my Uber and, you know, I can't take it.
Well, don't be an Uber driver then.
Okay.
But you're having robo taxis.
What is it about robo taxis that's so intriguing?
Oh, I know.
They don't have a driver.
You're the only ones in the vehicle.
So now they're saying too many people are smoking dope, doing drugs.
Well, duh, it's San Francisco.
You can't walk down the street in San Francisco without stepping on a needle or poop.
I mean, if I get into a robotaxie and somebody's taking a crap in that thing, I'm going to be really pissed.
There was doo-to feces thrown all over the walls, the floor, the ceiling, and it stunk so bad.
That's not going to be a good robo taxi to get into, okay?
So now they're saying that too many people are having serious bidsiness inside the robo taxis.
I know you've been dying to play it all day. Go ahead.
Yeah.
Hey, oh yeah.
Hey, we're going down to the waterfront.
Slide on over here
I do a little robotaxie business
Oh yeah
Man that street light makes you look gorgeous
Slide on up here
Don't worry about that car behind us
Nah don't worry about it
They're fine
Believe me
The dad is watching
Okay so that's what's happening now
The Robotaxies
And they, what did you expect
I mean
We're gonna have this so much
We're already having so much fun
With the Robotaxies
I don't want to take them off
road now because there'd be more fun coming.
When they can't, when they lose cell service again and shut down a major interstate,

So who died today?
And really today is, who died on this day?
The king.
Elvis Aaron Presley.
dead
dead Elvis Presley
I know it's so sad
don't look at me like that
oh it's Elvis Presley yes I know
dead at the age of 42
in 1977
that was a sad day
that was a sad day when the king of rock and roll
died baby Elvis Aaron Presley
the guy was a monster
it was the king
I mean he never he only
he toured only in the US
I think maybe he
went into Canada once or twice, but that's
a technicality. He didn't leave
the U.S. because he went to Canada
and realized, what am I
doing here? Came back to the U.S.
And so, I mean, he had so
many great shows. His
one comeback
special, and then he had the Aloha from
Hawaii, which was just
incredible, one of the biggest
shows ever. In those days,
shows like that weren't done.
Right? He was the first
show
ever to be a single solo artist to be aired globally.
And so it was huge.
And then when they aired, they simulcast it,
and then they aired it to US TV,
where it took like 57% of the television market this year.
57% of America watched it.
That's amazing.
That's the king of rock and roll right there, man.
And I'm a huge fan of the name Elvis, as you know.
I name my oldest son Elvis.
I love the name, and it wasn't all to do with Elvis Presley, but I just love, I mean, I love the name Elvis.
And it's very sad that we lost the king.
Now, because that it is the king's death day.
I mean, I guess we should actually be celebrating this on his birthday because that's what people do,
celebrate people on their birthday.
But you know what?
It's two in the fat, and we're going to celebrate people on their birthday and their death day.
Whatever the day is, we're celebrating it.
Okay. Now, this song is probably one of my favorite songs from Elvis Presley.
And it was from 1969.
I'm like a stranger in my own hometown.
We'll take the third caller.
8889-033-93. You could rip me off for a shake, maybe, if you can get through.
If somebody answers.
Maybe.
Man, this is Elvis, man, the king.
I'm like a freaking stranger in my own hometown, baby.
Give it to me, Elvis, let's have it.
Oh, yeah.
Like a strange in my own.
Think about it.
Like a strange.
Like a stranger.
Friends, love you a friend.
Oh, but you can't give a man down.
No, you can't.
You can't give it down.
Okay, okay.
Bastards.
Yeah, but I'm the king.
Man, I don't know.
I might play the whole thing.
I don't know.
I might have to hear the whole thing.
No, no, bring it back up.
Don't make it go away yet.
I mean, he passed away.
On this day.
In 1977, tears were shit.
Where at Elvis?
Like a stranger in my own hometown.
It's Tennessee.
Play respects to the king, Elvis Presley.
Dead of this day in 1977.
Rest in peace.
