Blaze Radio Network And now Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher If you were thinking about going to the premiere of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey You know at IMAX
Starting point is 00:00:46 The 70mm seats for The Odyssey It's gonna premiere July 17th, 2026. So they put tickets on sale last week on the 17th. 95% of the available seats already sold out. So, I mean, that broke industry norms for sure.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Tickets for July, 26, just sold out. So you might have to go to another night. And I don't know that those tickets are available yet. They were just selling the premier night tickets at, you know, exactly 365. days ahead of the premiere. So then now you can get them on eBay and any of the resale ticket sites for about a couple hundred dollars more than what you would have paid right off the beginning.
Starting point is 00:01:43 So there's a testament to IMAX. Yeah, it's a testament to IMAX. It's a testament to Christopher Nolan and the Odyssey. Better be good. Better be good because the tickets for Premier night are already sold out. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. A couple of big news stories coming out of the state of Tennessee. The first story is at a Tennessee-based credit union,
Starting point is 00:02:17 the Eastman Credit Union branch offices in Johnson City, Tennessee. There was a video that went viral of two people taking care of a little bidness in one of the private offices, except the private offices didn't really have completely walled offices. It was behind a closed door, and the offices had those
Starting point is 00:02:45 like smoky glass walls in the offices, so you could tell if humans were in there. And the video was some guy taking care of one of the bank employees in the office. Ha ha ha. And the incident, man, they wanted to apologize.
Starting point is 00:03:07 The Eastman's credit union said they're sorry that this took place. And, whew, man, this is not what we're about. Well, yeah, kind of is. I mean, you didn't have to blur the footage on the video because it was blurred itself. So I don't know why people were shocked at the credit union. I realize that it's a, you know, not-for-profit, member-owned, financial cooperative, okay, we got it. And you've got 30 branches from Tennessee, Virginia, and Texas. And, you know, this explicit footage went viral and we want to apologize.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Yeah, I mean, we're taking immediate action. And we're not going to tell you what the action is or, you know, who is in the video, but they're company employees. And we're committed to providing safe and respectful environment to our staff and members. We don't expect you to stand in line and watch a couple have sex while you're waiting to make your deposit
Starting point is 00:04:10 or a withdrawal. You'd go ahead and write your own jokes. Then, in Tennessee, we have the story that's kind of, I mean, it's embarrassing. It's embarrassing. This is America. So, they're building a new Nissan Stadium in
Starting point is 00:04:28 Nashville, Tennessee. Like it's a two, over two billion dollar project. Okay. So apparently on Friday, someone saw a noose hanging out somewhere at the stadium. Now this is a giant stadium,
Starting point is 00:04:43 huge stadium. And so somewhere in this development, there was a noose hanging. I have not seen a picture of this so-called noose, but they're investigating it. They shut down the construction site. Shut it down. There's no more construction.
Starting point is 00:04:58 they're offering counseling for the workers, the city police, and I'm sure the feds will be involved soon because the news equals a hate crime. A big investigation going on. They're offering a reward for anyone that has information to the whereabouts of the person that hung this news. And I don't even know if they started a construction back up today
Starting point is 00:05:23 at this stadium. So it's a billion-dollar, multi-billion-dollar project. in Nashville, and we're going to shut it down because there was a noose hanging in the stadium. Okay, so that's embarrassing to me. Construction worker sees a news and doesn't just pull it down and walk away. Makes one thing, I question the validity of the person who said, Hey, isn't that a news? Man, that's terrible.
Starting point is 00:05:55 I wonder what they're saying. I bet they mean hang people. Yeah, no, they don't. But okay. So even if they do, even if they do, let's take a moment, shall we, and say, okay, one person at this construction site thought, you know what, I hate black people so much,
Starting point is 00:06:14 I hate people so much, that I am just going to hang, make this rope noose and hang it over this beam here, just to remind them of how much I hate him. Okay, so one person doesn't see that and just take it down and we move on with our lives? Nope, not in today's world. We're treating it as serious as it can possibly be,
Starting point is 00:06:37 and we're offering counseling to all the construction workers, and we cannot have, there's no place. There's no place in our world where something like this can happen. Oh, really? Yeah, there's no place for racism or hatred in our workplace. That was according to the Tennessee Builders Alliance. Oh, okay. I mean, we've reported the incident
Starting point is 00:07:00 and we've suspended work and lost an investigation. Okay. No, let's get back to work. If you need counseling. I'm sure that everyone didn't see the news, the stadium, I mean, it's a huge stadium. Who was hanging down at the other end of the stadium. Now you've just heard about it like everybody else,
Starting point is 00:07:22 but you can't go on with your day. Okay. All right. We don't even know if it was a legitimate, you know, noose meant to horrify us, or if it was actually just a rope tied with a knot that brought up lumber or brought up iron or brought up a box of tools to the workers. We don't even know that. The investigation is still ongoing. Okay. So let's just shut it down. That's embarrassing. And when it comes back that it was a hoax and that one construction worker wanted to do that to piss off another construction worker or that it was actually meant to haul tools up to the next level, something like that, what happens then?
Starting point is 00:08:06 Does the company and the Tennessee Titans and the NFL and the city who have now shut down construction for days because of this hoax, how does that get reimbursed? And do I still need counseling? If I'm a worker and this happened even though it wasn't real, do I still have to get counseling and will you still pay for it? Well, I mean, you have to, right? You offered it. It's just the America I know and love, this would not have happened in.
Starting point is 00:08:37 But it did. As long as we're in Tennessee, we might as well stay there. I see where Lindsey Snyder, the head of In-N-Out Burger, or just In-N-N-Out, she told Allie Bath, our very own Allie Beth on her podcast, that she is taken in and out from California and moving into Tennessee. So I guess Tennessee is the place you ought to be. It isn't California is a place you ought to be. It's loaded up the truck and they moved to Nashville City or Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Quite a firestorming started, though, because I don't know. I thought she had said that already before, but apparently, you know, saying it on Allie Beth's podcast meant the world was shocked. And they're taking another movie out of California. Yeah. She said there's a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not doing easy here.
Starting point is 00:09:38 So we're picking it up and loading up the truck and we're moving to Tennessee, according to Lindsay Snyder, the CEO and owner. of In-N-Out Burger. Now, there was no mention of Real Estate Agents I Trust.com, but who else is she going to get to help her move? I mean, when the time comes for you to move,

All right, so I'm reading about this guy in Massachusetts who claims to have bought a second lottery ticket after believing the first had already expired and was shocked when both tickets won him a million dollars each.
Starting point is 00:12:27 So according to the release from Powerball, this Paul Corcoran purchased, or Cochran, C-O-R-C-R-A-N, Corcoran, purchased a Powerball lottery ticket good for seven drawings. He mistakenly, believe that the final drawing had already occurred. He purchased a second ticket with the same
Starting point is 00:12:47 numbers, but unbeknownst to him, both tickets included the July 9th Powerball drawing. And so, to his delight, the numbers drawn were the 5-9, 25, 28, 69, and 5, hud-hut, which made both tickets
Starting point is 00:13:03 a million-dollar winners. So he claimed the prize. And he told the staff, I don't know what I'm going to do with the money yet. Yeah, you're probably going to gamble it away. But good luck to you. And thank congratulations. So he didn't split a million. So it wasn't like he won a million dollars. And because he had the second ticket, you know, splitting it to 500,000 would have meant the million. They each one of a million. Interesting. That's interesting. I haven't looked at the lotto
Starting point is 00:13:28 as of late. What do we got going on here? Today is the 21st of July, 2025. So the power ball has got to be having a drawing. Wow, 308 million for the power ball. 137.7 million. cash payout. Yeah, that'd be pretty sweet. Mega millions. What are we doing a mega millions? 110 million is the jackpot. That drawing is tomorrow, the 22nd of July. 48.4 million cash payout.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Yeah, I could take that too. I would be happy to take that as well. So, yeah, I'd take a million. Sure. Okay. I saw a post online this weekend that asked the question, would you delete X for a year if someone offered you
Starting point is 00:14:17 $17 million. You realize I tried to think of there is almost nothing I would do for $17 million. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Maybe that's the reason I will never get it. Maybe it is. I don't know. But delete X for a year, that baby is gone. Man, have a nice day. I'll give up my phone. for a year, $17 million.
Starting point is 00:14:46 No problem. Just an app? Yeah. Yeah, I'm doing that. No problem. I won't even, now what would be more difficult as if I couldn't talk about it.
Starting point is 00:14:57 But if I couldn't talk about it for a year, give it up and then get the $17 million. That would be difficult, but the answer still would be, yes, I'll do it. No problem. I wouldn't go as far.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Remember the old Twilight Zone movie where he was, the guy was supposed to not talk for a year He was such a talker. He annoyed the one guy so much that the one guy said he'd give him this large sum of money And I don't remember what the sum was If he just wouldn't talk for a year.
Starting point is 00:15:31 And so the guy had his tongue cut out So that he couldn't talk. That was the twist at the end of the Twilight Zone. So the guy couldn't afford to pay him. the money. He just didn't want him to talk. But now he can't talk because he had his tongue cut out. Da-da-da-da-da-da.
Starting point is 00:15:48 And he's just, okay, we got it. So, yeah, there's to be, it's very few things that I wouldn't do for $17 million. And you can use your own imagination on what that would be. I would be hard-pressed to give up ice cream, though.
Starting point is 00:16:10 No, there's no question. about that. I love ice cream. I was looking at this new list of the best ice creams. We tested them all. And what's the best vanilla ice cream? Okay. Now they taste tested 12. 12 products, 12 different products of vanilla ice cream. What is the best? And I was looking at their rankings. They claim the best vanilla ice cream first place. Trader
Starting point is 00:16:38 Joe's, French, vanilla ice cream. I don't think I've ever had it. So it's Trader Joe's French vanilla ice cream super premium. Willing to try it, absolutely. I just don't I don't believe I've ever had Trader Joe's ice cream. So that's the best according to this group that, who is this group? This group from Yahoo, I believe. Is who did this.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Yeah, they did it at the Yahoo Home Office, celebrating ice cream month, which July is. So, okay, we have an excuse to try all the vanilla ice creams thanks to it being national ice cream month. And so they did the taste test at Yahoo's New York City office. All right, with the 12 most popular store-bought vanilla ice creams, Hockadous, Ben and Jerry's, Breyers. Okay, so let's see.
Starting point is 00:17:33 I see, I saw Edie's in the picture. I like Edie's ice cream. The Edie's is really good. They tried Turkey Hill. You know, it's okay. I know it's a pretty good brand. Tillanuck or Tillamook or whatever the hell it is. You know, I got you.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Okay, so let's say, the Trader Joe's was number one. Tadda! Should have went the other direction, but whatever. Trader Joe's French vanilla ice cream, super premium, was the number one best ice cream. Okay, if you say so, I'm not opposed to it. Best vanilla ice cream in second place came in a tie.
Starting point is 00:18:05 So we couldn't even want to give it the whole second place alone. Hagenas vanilla ice cream. And it is tied with the Van Luin vanilla bean French ice cream. Okay. Don't know that I've had the Van Luin. I had the Hagenas. But, uh, all right, we'll see. There's a couple.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Uh, Turkey Hill is in third place. All right. Turkey Hill's not bad. And I don't, I don't mind the Turkey Hill ice cream. But, and the vanilla bean is, you know, pretty good. But, uh, third place. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Where is Breyers? All right. That's fourth. Ben and Jerry's fifth. They're ranking that. Whole Foods. Okay. They didn't even give Edies in here.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Flavoral's picks overall place. Settle but sweet. Edies. They give Edies. Yeah, they're ranking Edis, but they just win the top three. Okay, they only ranked the top three. The rest are in runner-up mode.
Starting point is 00:19:07 And doggone, it was, aren't you just lucky that you were part of the who's the best ice cream contest. I don't think they will be. But I'm willing I should do this for chewing the fat, just to try French vanilla ice cream super premium from Trader Joe's up against. I don't know who I think would be the best.
Starting point is 00:19:28 They're ranking Van der LeWy. I don't know. Breyer's vanilla bean is pretty freaking good. I have to go back and try Turkey Hill again. The Edies is really good, too. I do like Edie's ice cream. all their flavors, including vanilla. So there you got to join the fat ranking.
Starting point is 00:19:48 If it's frozen and cold and cold ice cream, yeah, that's good. And I know that's not really true because some of the cheaper ice creams are too salty. I just, believe me, I know it's not true. There is superior ice cream out there. In fact, the one company used to advertise with us, Brookers, founding flavors ice cream and that place is awesome and another ice cream is awesome
Starting point is 00:20:14 and it's all homemade ice cream and it's tremendous and you can get it online and have it delivered to your home as well so I mean there are super ice cream flavors and companies out there but and you can always go to
Starting point is 00:20:28 let's see what is it Brookersicecream.com probably just go to brookersicecream.com and place your order and have it delivered here instead of your home Thank you. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Desperately. I think it was last week. I was just talking about the television show Tracker and how they needed to contact me and don't lose their character, Bobby. And they either listen to me and said, we don't care what you say, Fad Band, or they didn't listen to me and they should have.
Starting point is 00:21:10 because I just see a story where Eric Grace, who is Bobby on Tracker, the television show, and Abby McAnney, McAnney, right, McAnney, M-C-E-N-A-N-Y, however she pronounces it, she played Velma on the show. Both of those characters, gone. Have a nice day. Wow. Okay, and they got rid of his mom. They got rid of these other characters.
Starting point is 00:21:36 So now Tracker, Justin Hartley, who plays Coulter. Shaw. And I guess his lawyer, Fiona Rene René Green in the show, are the only two original cast members left. Well, I've got two seasons. I'm looking to go into the third season. They're giving all these people the boot. Okay. I don't know what's happening over there,
Starting point is 00:21:57 tracker. I don't know if CBS wants it to fail. Or if they're saying, no, we don't need all these other characters. Justin can carry it on his own. But, man, have a nice day. The one guy I asked for you not to give him. rid of my main man Bobby on the show. Go on. Have a nice day. So
Starting point is 00:22:15 all right. Go ahead. We don't need Bobby on the show. I think you're going to find out you do or did. I did watch Untamed this weekend as well. It dropped on Netflix on Thursday. I didn't get around to it until Saturday though, which is a real problem.
Starting point is 00:22:32 It's about the National Park Service agent in Yosemite National Park, Eric Banna, and Sam Neil star in it. And it's pretty good. It's six episodes.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Not bad. Not bad. There were a few times I thought, you know, kind of, you know, kind of lulled a little bit. But there's some, the cinematography is beautiful. And a few of the things that happen are really good. The story, I felt like, I felt like I had it figured out. And then I didn't. And then I had it figured out again.
Starting point is 00:23:08 The one guy. who I thought for sure was probably the dirtbag, ended up not being a dirt back. He was just an asshole. And so that usually, those, usually the guy that is the dirtbag. And no,
Starting point is 00:23:21 they just made him into an asshole. I mean, they just made him into an asshole instead of a dirt bag. Okay. All right. No problem. And so, of course,
Starting point is 00:23:28 the, one of the main bad guys had to be the one character. And it just had to be. It had to be. There was no other way around it. And he wasn't as, bat a guy as I thought he was going to be, but he was still a bad guy.
Starting point is 00:23:48 So go ahead, watch on tape and have fun with it. Lily Santiago did a great job. Eric Banna, of course. I mean, he did a great job. And Sam Neal plays in it as well, stars in it as well. He's awesome. The people that are in all the episodes is the William Smiley, which is Bruce Miltz, Rosemary DeWitt,
Starting point is 00:24:12 Jill Bowden, which is his ex-wife, and Sam Neal, Lily Santiago, and Eric Bono. They are in all six episodes. So, and they spend a lot of money on this show, man. They are out there in Yellowstone and the flashbacks, the flashback scenes,
Starting point is 00:24:30 pretty incredible. And I did really like the chief guy. Not really sure what his name is, but whoever he is, who played the chief, I liked him too. He was in, I don't know, two or three episodes. And I liked him a lot. So untamed, go and watch it.

Don't pretend like you don't know who Iris Williams is. She had passed away at the age of 79. She was a well singer. Cause of death was not given. She's performed for Queen Elizabeth 2nd at Royal Albert Hall and for former president.
Starting point is 00:28:54 and Gerald Ford. She was the daughter of an American GI. And her notable hits included He Was Beautiful and the Welsh language rendition of Amazing Grace. So don't even pretend like you don't know who Iris Williams
Starting point is 00:29:12 is the international beloved singer dead at the age of 79. Then we have Robbie Pardlo. Robbie Pardlow, dead, and no cause of death was given. Now, Robbie was just 46. And he, are you telling me you're not familiar with Robbie? Well, he rose to fame alongside Claudette Ortiz and Ryan Toby as part of City High. Now, and for their 2001 hit single, What Would You Do?
Starting point is 00:29:45 Now, I think you know who he is, right? Yeah, because that became the anthem for struggling single parents. and climbed to the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. In fact, they were nominated for a Grammy for the best R&B performance by a duo or a group at the 44th annual Grammy Awards. And the group disbanded back in 2003, but they remained very influential.
Starting point is 00:30:08 And so rest in peace to Robbie Pardlow, dead at the age of 46. Then we have Alan Bergman, Alan Bergman, Oscar-winning lyricist, who teamed with his wife Marilyn for an enduring and loving partnership. And he has just passed away at the age of 99. He died at his home in Los Angeles, according to a family spokesperson. Apparently it suffered from respiratory issues recently.
Starting point is 00:30:39 But he continued to write songs till the very end. You remember one of his songs called The Way We Were. In fact, I believe that was the song that he won Grammy for. He wrote all kind. He collaborated with Marvin Hamish and Quincy Jones, and he wrote for all kinds of people. He wrote for Sinatra and Michael Jackson and Tony Bennett. They all performed his material along with his wife.
Starting point is 00:31:11 And so rest in peace, she had passed away back in 2022. So he's been struggling to continue to write and stuff. but if they were partners, it didn't take long for him to pass away at the age of 99. Then we have the D-Day veteran, who I'm sure many of you on TikTok, remember, Papa Jake. He survived German gunfire on Normandy's Bluffs in 1944. He's got 1.2 million followers on TikTok sharing stories to commemorate World War II. And he has passed away at the age of 102. So rest in peace to D-Day veteran, Papa Jake Larson,
Starting point is 00:31:56 who has passed away at the age of 102. There was no listing of what the cause of death was, except maybe I guess it was 102. Then we have Eileen Fulton, Eileen Fulton, dead at the age of 91. Eileen was part of As the World Turns. And she was on as the world turns, I think, for darn near 50 years. I mean, she was on there forever. When you see her, you go, oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Eileen Fulton, yes. I mean, she was the soap opera vixen. And no question about it. She died in Nashville, North Carolina at the age of 91. Apparently she's been having was, her health was declining. Doesn't say exactly what the cause of death was. But that was it, baby. She was a big TV star made it out.
Starting point is 00:32:52 And you're on, as the world turns for, what, 50 years? Yeah, you're making a little bit of cash. And that's a lot of work. So rest and peace to Ellen Fulton dead at the age of 91. Then we have the sleeping prince. Remember the sleeping prince from Saudi Arabia? He has died. He was in a coma for 20 years, which is why they called him sleeping prince.
Starting point is 00:33:19 so he spent more than more than 20 years in a coma after a car crash Prince Al-Waleed bin Khalid El-Sad suffered severe brain injuries and internal bleeding in a horrific accident
Starting point is 00:33:33 when he was just 15 years old back in 2005 he was dubbed the sleeping prince was kept on a ventilator in a hospital but never regained full consciousness Prince Al-Walib was the eldest son of Prince Khalid bin Talil al-Azad
Starting point is 00:33:48 who announced his death in a heartbreaking post on X. He said, Oh, rest a reassured soul, return to your Lord, well pleased and pleasing, and enter among my righteous servants, and enter my paradise. And it went on for a little while, too.
Starting point is 00:34:04 So Prince Al-Waleed was studying at a military college in London when he was involved in a devastating crash. And after the accident, they took him to the King Abdullah's medical sitter in Saudi Arabia, and Riyadh, and that's where he remained all this time in a coma. Wow.
Starting point is 00:34:24 I mean, it's another lifetime, showing up to see your son, hoping that he was going to re-connect with the world out of this coma, and he just never did. So rest in peace to the sleeping prince, Prince L. Walid bin Khalid al-Assad, dead at the age of 30. then we have a 61 year old
Starting point is 00:34:51 man who died because he got sucked into an MRI machine I know I know he was wearing a necklace and it had a big locket on it and apparently he came into the MRI room when his wife was getting done or he thought was getting done with an MRI on her knee and it sucked him in
Starting point is 00:35:16 because I don't even know this MRI stands for magnetic renaissance imaging. It's a giant magnet. And they use giant magnetic fields. And that's why they take all the metal objects out of you to do the MRI. So you're not supposed to go in the room with metal objects. He's got this big chain on. And it sucked him in.
Starting point is 00:35:37 And his wife is screaming and everybody's hollering. And he got him out of there. He was still alive. He was in critical condition. And he has since passed away. So, very sad. And his wife, of course, was questioned on the news. And just so we're clear, just because you're in mourning also doesn't mean you have to speak into a mic.
Starting point is 00:36:00 But I'm happy that she did. And she's sad and she just wanted everyone to remember her husband. I get it. Adrian Jones McAllister says her husband, Keith McAllister, died after he was sucked into an MRI machine at NASA Open MRI in Westbury. I haven't able to sleep I'm barely eating I just can't believe Oh
Starting point is 00:36:25 It's about you or him I'm gonna wrap my head around the whole thing Okay He waved goodbye to me And then his own body went limp Adrian said after she'd had an MRI on her knee Wednesday She needed help getting up She said she asked the technician to get her husband
Starting point is 00:36:45 And I said I yelled out he's name Keith Keith, come help me up. She said the technician went to get her husband and brought him into the room, despite the fact that Keith was wearing a 20-pound chain around his neck with a large rod machine still on. They was getting there laughing and joking before he even came to the table. When Keith got closer to Adrian to help her up, she said the unthinkable happened. At that instant, the machine switched him around, pulled him in, and he hit the MRI.
Starting point is 00:37:14 He said she and the tech tried to pry Keith off the machine, but it was. It was impossible. We shut the thing down. No doubt. Pull the cord. You can turn this damn thing off. Adrian said that this was not the first time she had been to Bintanasa open MRI. And she said he'd worn the big chain here before.
Starting point is 00:37:32 It's not the first time that guy has seen that gene. Well, it's not the guy. They had a conversation about it before. Ooh, that's a big chain. Adrian said Keith, a hardworking man who always gave his all, suffered several heart attacks following the incident. I bet. He was 61 years old. And I loved him so much.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Oh, that's good. And look, I get it. He's your husband. I got it. And it's sad. But is it the MRI's fault? Well, we'll see. We'll see what happens in that lawsuit.
Starting point is 00:38:03 I'm sure that we'll be coming very, very soon. Rest in peace to Keith McAllister, dead at the age of 61. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

Starting point is 00:38:52 Explore the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus at OnePeloton.ca. Okay, quite a bit of news when the airline's business is going on. We had the Delta Regional Flight, operated by Sky West, that they had to make a go-round maneuver to avoid hitting or being hit by a B-52 bomber over North Dakota. Just another day in the air. We had the Hawaiian Airlines flight diverted back to L.A. For the second time today, the 7879 Dreamliner landed safely on the runway. We saw the video of it as the engine was on fire.
Starting point is 00:39:31 always good when you're flying to take up. Yeah, we're going to go ahead and we're going to turn this thing around. Thank you for flying Delta. Yeah, you just talk. Don't look at your side window. If you do, it's, yeah, that engine's on fire. So we're going to turn this thing around and they've got us. They know they've opened up a landing strip for us.
Starting point is 00:39:55 No problem. We should be able to handle it. If the oxygen mask dropped down, don't you worry about it. you should be fine. Just breathe a lady. Everything's fine. Keep your trays and keep your seatbelts on, your trays in the upright position.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Okay? All right, good. And we had another Delta flight with an engine fire. We had other airlines, Alaska Airlines, and I don't know why. Alaska Airlines has temporarily grounded its entire fleet. What? What are we doing?
Starting point is 00:40:29 According to an FAA advisory, The airline sought approval to ground over 200 planes under its brand. It later expanded the stoppage to include planes from its Horizon Air Unit. Alaska Airlines said the decision stemmed from a computer network outage. Oh, okay, so you were hacked. While the ground stop was lifted about three hours later, so they killed it all last night, and then they tried to bring some of it back,
Starting point is 00:41:00 but they had residual impacts. Oh, okay. So it's going to take us some time to get back to regular operations back to normal. But we should be fine. We should be fine. Don't you worry about it. We'll take care of it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:17 I mean, it makes you a little nervous. I mean, it wasn't that long ago we had the crowd strike hack, right? Yes. Yeah, let's not forget about that. Let's not forget about that. And I see where we get new T-T-tail. of the Air India crash. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:34 First they started to blame the pilot that he had mental problems. They didn't know what the deal was. They weren't sure. Then, according, we got reports that the fuel switches were turned off and we thought that
Starting point is 00:41:48 that was a plane issue. It doesn't look that way. It looks like the pilot did that. It looked like the pilot turned off the fuel switches to the engines after it took off. The first off, officer reportedly questioned the captain's actions before he expressed surprised and then
Starting point is 00:42:05 panicked. So it was like the captain turned off the fuel switches. It didn't realize he had turned off the fuel switches. He just, and so he remained calm. And the investigation is not yet determined whether or not the switches were shut off on purpose. And then it crashed shortly after that. So which was it? Was it on purpose? Or was it just the captain screwing up and saying, You know, I thought that was something else. And no, it wasn't. It was the fuel switches. And you probably, Captain, you shouldn't have done that.
Starting point is 00:42:40 I'm giving her own she's got captain. They probably shouldn't have done that. So we'll see. We shall see what happens with that, with the Air India Flight. But they're still, you know, we're still getting reports from that ongoing system. Just really crazy. And I see now, and maybe if Delta, you know, continues to have engines burn, and other airliners start having engines burning.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Maybe they won't do this. But according to this, Delta is moving away from regular pricing in favor of an AI system that determines how much each customer is willing to pay for tickets and prices it accordingly. Oh, okay. So during their latest recent earnings call,
Starting point is 00:43:25 the Delta president said, we plan to have AI set 20% of the ticket prices by years end. The system is already showing amazingly favorable returns in a pilot program that now sets 3% of airfares. The three-fold increase
Starting point is 00:43:41 from last November when he told investors that the ultimate goal was 100% AI pricing. Okay. So whoever you are, that's how much we're going to charge you. Yeah, that's great. It's predatory pricing. We'll see how that
Starting point is 00:43:59 goes. I don't know that customers are going to be happy about that because they're going to be talking about trip related factors, how early you tend to buy tickets, how much you make a year, right, brace gender, other demographic info.
Starting point is 00:44:16 I don't. I don't know. I think we stick with the main price. It's one price and that's what everybody gets charged and we move on. But we're way past that. We are way past that. So good luck.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Good luck. God bless. All right. I got an email this weekend, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. And I don't know that it's a, that it's some kind of scam, but I don't know that it isn't. Okay. The email is titled, hello chewing the fat, which, you know, questions the validity of the emailer. Just wanted to reach out again.
Starting point is 00:44:55 And I didn't get another email from this from this emailer. So it's funny how they. say that. Just wanted to reach out again. I'm following up to see if you had a chance to read my previous note about my late husband's Yamaha Piano. I haven't though, because you didn't said one before. This instrument
Starting point is 00:45:11 holds profound sentimental value for me, and I'd love for it to find a new home with someone who will cherish it as much as he did. Now, I will say I would love a Yamaha Piano. I'm a fan of Yamaha Piano's. I'd be delighted to tell you more about its history, condition, or anything else you'd like to know.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Thank you for considering this, and I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you might have. Best regards, Gene. Well, Gene, I'd like to say I didn't see your first email that you claim you sent, telling me about your husband's Yamaha Piano. I'd be delighted to hear about the history and the condition. If you're going to box it up and send me the old Yamaha Piano, go ahead. Happy to take it off your hands for you. if you're going to charge me
Starting point is 00:46:00 that's another issue and I'm not really sure I don't know that I should respond to the email I don't really want to I don't want to create a dialogue with the Gene that titled it
Starting point is 00:46:15 Hello Chewing the Fat so Gene if you're real I hope I'm sorry that your husband's passed away and I'm happy that he enjoyed the Amah Piano if you want to box it up but send it to me here at the Mercury Studios. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:46:32 But, you know, I just feel like there's something fishy about that email, and I don't want to respond to it. Maybe it's just me. I know. Maybe it's just me. All right, let's get out of here. Let's leave you with the joke of the day. This from Corey, this is the joke of the day from Corey.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Did you hear about the guy who stole a calendar? Corey set the email to chewing the vet at the blaze.com. Did you hear about the guy? who stole a calendar. No, I didn't hear about the guy who stole a calendar. Yeah, he got 12 months. They say his days are numbered.
