Blaze Radio Network 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
Starting point is 00:00:58 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
Starting point is 00:01:17 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.
Starting point is 00:01:32 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.
Starting point is 00:01:56 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,
Starting point is 00:02:10 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
Starting point is 00:02:34 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.
Starting point is 00:02:51 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.
Starting point is 00:03:21 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
Starting point is 00:03:42 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
Starting point is 00:04:01 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
Starting point is 00:04:17 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
Starting point is 00:04:37 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
Starting point is 00:04:58 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.
Starting point is 00:05:31 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,
Starting point is 00:06:03 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
Starting point is 00:06:31 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.
Starting point is 00:06:46 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.
Starting point is 00:07:11 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.
Starting point is 00:07:58 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.
Starting point is 00:08:29 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
Starting point is 00:08:46 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.
Starting point is 00:09:10 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.
Starting point is 00:09:33 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.
Starting point is 00:09:53 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.
Starting point is 00:10:19 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,
Starting point is 00:10:36 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.
Starting point is 00:10:53 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
Starting point is 00:11:28 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
Starting point is 00:11:45 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.

Starting point is 00:14:22 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
Starting point is 00:14:38 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
Starting point is 00:14:54 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.
Starting point is 00:15:27 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?
Starting point is 00:15:46 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.
Starting point is 00:15:58 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,
Starting point is 00:16:20 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,
Starting point is 00:16:41 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.
Starting point is 00:17:14 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
Starting point is 00:17:35 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.
Starting point is 00:17:56 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.
Starting point is 00:18:24 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?
Starting point is 00:18:38 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.
Starting point is 00:19:10 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.
Starting point is 00:19:29 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.
Starting point is 00:19:58 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.
Starting point is 00:20:28 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?
Starting point is 00:20:49 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
Starting point is 00:21:08 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?
Starting point is 00:21:29 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.
Starting point is 00:21:56 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.
Starting point is 00:22:08 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
Starting point is 00:22:33 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.
Starting point is 00:23:13 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.
Starting point is 00:23:43 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.
Starting point is 00:23:54 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?
Starting point is 00:24:10 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.
Starting point is 00:24:18 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.
Starting point is 00:24:30 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.
Starting point is 00:25:00 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.
Starting point is 00:25:13 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
Starting point is 00:25:34 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
Starting point is 00:25:53 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.
Starting point is 00:26:23 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.
Starting point is 00:26:44 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.
Starting point is 00:27:30 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.
Starting point is 00:28:22 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.
Starting point is 00:28:41 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.
Starting point is 00:28:57 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.
Starting point is 00:29:09 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.
Starting point is 00:29:32 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,
Starting point is 00:29:56 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,
Starting point is 00:30:29 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.
Starting point is 00:30:57 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.
Starting point is 00:31:15 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.
Starting point is 00:31:31 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.
Starting point is 00:32:08 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
Starting point is 00:32:30 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
