Blaze Radio Network. And now chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Those dastardly restaurant employees opening packages without their name on it, well, they spoil the man's drug shipment.

So employees at Max Grill in Auburn, Maine, I guess we're expecting a shipment of mugs they had recently ordered. They opened a large wooden crate. However, they discovered in the crate, what is now known as $3 million worth of fentanyl in a plastic tote. Now, apparently, the shipping label on the box bore the address of the restaurant along with the contact name of Jeremy Mercier, M-E-R-C-I-E. are now mercier does not work at the restaurant so employees called the police who confirmed that the employees were correct and there were drugs in the crate not mugs and so it took officers about an hour to intercept mercier who came to the restaurant saying hey i think i had a shipment that accidentally got shipped here it was too late uh they already arrested him he was out on

pre-conviction bail anyway for an unrelated criminal charge when he came into the restaurant to retrieve the package. He was too late. Now, those darn restaurant employees opening up that package. So I wonder how many times this has actually happened before, you know, he got caught or other people got caught. So 14 kilos of suspected fentanyl. He had shipped to Max Grill. $2,780 of cash, a guess, that he had on him.

And he's being held in jail with no bail. So they're happy that they got the fentanyl off the streets and the co-owner of Max Grill said, hey, it's a good thing and we're happy that it happened. I, however, want to know how the employees feel about opening a package that doesn't have their name on it. Sure, it was addressed to the restaurant, but it didn't have your name on it. Isn't that a crime in and of itself or just because there's drugs in the package we're overlooking that crime? I'm guessing that's the case. So that's a good move.

get there before the people open up the package and realize what's in the package is illegal. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fath. According to the World Economic Forum, 83 million jobs will disappear. Wow. In the next five years, bank and postal clerks, Cachiers, secretaries, and other roles are pushed out by new technology. Now, they claim, and I don't like to hear the postal workers getting the, getting the acts, but hey, what about those cashiers and secretaries? Yeah, those two.

But, you know, as a USPS fan, I'd like to hear the postal clerks getting the next. However, those jobs, many of those jobs are already automated as it is now. Now, according to the World Economic Forum, They're going to have 69 million new tech jobs created. That's still a loss of 14 million jobs. So you better learn robotics. I would say artificial intelligence, sustainability, and robotics still is where you need to go.

The WEF and IBM announced plans to automate 7,800 back office jobs over the next. five years and as Google's AI Maven Jeffrey Hinton quit the firm over dangers from the new technology yeah no kidding so machines are increasingly able to carry out tasks performed by humans

and that six in ten workers are going to need to go back to class to stay in the job market okay so the 10 fastest growing jobs AI and machine learning specialist sustainability specialist business intelligence analysts, information security analyst, fintech engineers, data analysts and scientists, robotic engineers, electro technology engineers, agricultural equipment operators, digital transformation

specialists. Those are the 10 fastest growing jobs. The 10 fastest declining jobs, of course, bank tellers and related clerks, postal clerks, cashiers and ticket clerks. Cacheers and ticket clerks, data entry clerks, administrative and executive secretaries, material recording and stockkeeping clerks, accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll clerks, legislators and officials, I don't know that I'm feeling that bad about that, statistical finance and insurance clerks, door-to-door sales, news and street vendors, and related workers. Okay, so we're going to have robots coming to the house. Hello, would you like to purchase a vacuum cleaner? Just amazing.

That's a lot of work. Man, you got to be ready. I'm not. I mean, I hope you are, that's for sure. You know, governments and businesses need to support the shift to jobs of the future. No question. And with that many people not having jobs, now you're talking about a income, right? People have got to have money to survive.

I don't know what they're planning on with that But according to this new study that they talked about in Davos They brought together perspectives of 803 companies that employ more than 11.3 million workers And they produce their 296 page study I have to dig into that study to see what else is in there But amazing that they're already laying the groundwork for that just really incredible so 44% of workers are looking to actually change so you're going to need to reskill I like that term you're going to need to re-skill oh okay well that sounds easy

not really six and ten workers are going to need to upgrade their skill sets before 2027 wow so you're going to have to have access to retraining sessions. Yeah, because you're going to want to be able to re-skill with the sum. So you have that to have a job. And if you don't reskill, I mean, you've got to survive. You're going to have to eat. So there's going to have to be some kind of income happening.

I don't know what that's going to be. I don't know how they pull that off. But it's got to come. It has to. And with the, I mean, think of the invasion that's happening in the United States. States, let alone some of the other countries and the homeless problem that's happening around the world, specifically here in the United States of America, I don't know how these people are surviving and are going to survive. And maybe that's the point. Maybe that's the whole final outcome

is to just get rid of, you know, a few humans. And we could do, the Earth has too many. Right? The Earth has too many people. So if we put them out of work and they can't, they don't have money and they can't survive. Eh, sorry. And, you know, as long as you're out of work and not making any money, you might as well get sick. I see where we're now being scared with a cryptic COVID strain,

lurking in your area. 32. Never-before-seen variants have been detected in 13 states. And they are so mutated they could trigger concerning outbreaks. Cryptic COVID strains. So these strains are surviving for long periods of time within a single person.

More than 30 extremely mutated, never before seen COVID strains are lurking in multiple U.S. states. A team of scientists from the University of Missouri, M-I-Z-Z-O-U, has been tracking these so-called cryptic variants

by testing wastewater samples across the country, and man Doesn't that sound like fun? Yeah, I'm just going across the country testing wastewater. Yeah, no, that's what we do. They've detected these 32 strains in 13 states. And they give us a map of the cryptic

COVID strains across the U.S. Montana has one. California has four. Colorado has two. Texas has two. Oklahoma has three. Missouri has three. Wisconsin has one. What about Kentucky? They have one, two.

Ohio has one. I mean, we don't care about Ohio, really. New York has 10. Oh, man, cryptic variants. New York comes out ahead. New Jersey has one. Virginia has one. Kentucky one.

Florida has two. Wow, New York has some serious cryptic strains. And stains, to be honest. So these cryptic lineages, according to Dr. Johnson, are the tip of the iceberg. If there's this many long-term infections, how many are we not detecting?

I don't know, but these viruses are being harbored by people known as long haulers, patients who struggle to clear COVID infection for months or even years, giving the virus an unusually long window to mutate. So the virologist at M-I-Z, That's Dr. Johnson, who I quoted earlier, who is leading this research. I don't know that he's out there testing the wastewater himself, but he is leading the research.

Warren, strains are so mutated that they would instantly be classified variance of concern if they were to start spreading. So, I mean, in New York, you've already got 10. So it's possible that they could take off. Anyway, just be prepared for new talk. of these cryptic variants lurking out there and possibly getting ready to jump into other humans. Be prepared. Hey, you know what?

Speaking of cryptic variants, Blaze TV is releasing a full-length comedy film. The movie is called Reopening, and it's a mockumentary that follows the cast and crew of a small community theater as they struggle to reopen during the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic. I don't know that they have any of the cryptic variants, but I'm guessing not. It's a brilliant work of satire. They use humor to expose and ridicule the insanity

that swept the nation during the pandemic. And, I mean, look, it's no secret. There's a war on comedy lately, and you're tough to joke about anything these days. That's why Blaze TV is on embarking. on a mission to save comedy and impact the culture. So they're launching this mission Thursday, May 4th, which is tomorrow, if you're listening to this show live on the 3rd of May,

2023, that would be tomorrow, May 4th, by releasing the first ever full-length comedy film. So you can join us Thursday, May 4th, 8 p.m. Eastern for the premiering of reopening. We'll be streaming a live pre-show on YouTube and Facebook with members of the cast, But the movie itself will be available exclusively on Blaze TV.

Well, well, well, no wonder Kevin Costner has been all wound up, all the reports of him getting cranky and not wanting to work as much. We were told that it was because the wife was telling him she didn't want him to work as much. Well, maybe that's the case and he told her to take a hike or maybe that's not the case and he told her to take a hike anyway.

Divorce proceedings are underway for Kevin Costner. and Christine Bumgautner, who he's been married to for 19 years. It's with great sadness that circumstances beyond my control have transpired, which has resulted in me having to participate

in a dissolution of marriage. Oh, no. Well, I mean, that sucks. No question. The wife, model, and handbag designer, they've been dating since 1998. They got married on his Colorado ranch in 2004.

While they have two sons, ages 14 and 15, and a 12-year-old daughter together. This was his second marriage. He has other adult children from previous relationships. Kevin has taken care of a little business for many years. So he's back to being Syngdal and he's back to being working. So let's get back on to the Yellowstone shooting. Oh, the writer strike. But I still haven't seen word whether Taylor Sheridan is abiding by this strike or not.

So let's get back to a week. work, Kevin Kozner. I'm really bummed that you're getting a divorce. Divorce is not fun. We talked about that yesterday. I don't wish that on anyone. However, once you're in it, you're in it. So let's move on. I see where

an airline passenger was arrested for carrying a self-defense weapon known as a vampire straw through security at Boston's Logan International Airport. So I don't understand why he was arrested. Armand

Akhtutan Nair. Armand Akhtan Nair was detained and that's what he calls himself. Was detained Sunday evening and charged with carrying a dangerous weapon.

Massachusetts State Police said that a trooper was alerted after the 10 inch long, 25 centimeter long I mean, okay, do we need to put the metric system in there? The 10-inch-long titanium straw with a beveled end was found in Nair's backpack.

The TSA doesn't allow vampire straws to be carried onto the flight. Okay, so why did they just confiscate it like they confiscate everything else? The company that makes the straw bills it as a self-defense weapon, since it can be used like a dagger. It can also be used as a straw to slurp down your drinks. The items are not allowed in passengers. carry on bags. Okay, well, we got that,

but why was he arrested for having it in his backpack? So you can't have this in your backpack. Okay. Why didn't they just confiscated or make him turn around? I don't

understand. He has since posted bail and is scheduled to be arraigned at the end of this month, May, 2023. I'm still confused at why he would be arrested for that. I don't understand. I get, he was

arrested for carrying a dangerous weapon. Okay. So it's a straw as well. So you just confiscate. I don't know why. That seems like an overreach from the dear old TSA, who I

know and love. I see they've got some new technology that they're using at airports now too. They're going to start using facial technology. Yay! I'm going to use that to check IDs at airports across the country. The new technology snaps a real-time picture of a passenger and matches it with their scanned ID.

And hey, it's all for efficiency. It improves efficiency in checking IDs and speeds up checks by reducing human contact. The new credit, and who doesn't want to reduce human contact? The new authentication, oh, I can't I say that word? The new authentication authentication. There, thank you.

Jeez, I got it out. Authentication technology is referred to as Cat 2. So that's great. That is great. It automatically matches the passengers' real-time pictures

to their IDs. Yay! So I don't know how many airports are using this. This story is specifically about the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and they talk about having 36 units at the airport. So I'm not sure how many airports are using this new technology now. The unit has a library of over 2,500 types of IDs for reference and the photos are not stored.

Uh-huh. Sure. I believe you. So it has a it has it has. enhanced detection capabilities for identifying fraudulent IDs, such as driver licenses and passports, at a checkpoint, and an increase efficiency of efficiency by automatically verifying a passenger's identification. Oh, that helps us ensure who we know is boarding the flights, because it eliminates human contact. That's great. Now, look, if someone doesn't want their picture

taken, they can proceed with a standard ID check with a TSA officer. So don't even worry about it. It won't look funny at all. It won't look weird that you don't want to use our new technology. We'll just go and see a human and do the standard ID check. Uh-huh. And how long before you don't get the standard ID check? Sorry, you're not able to do that. Either use the facial recognition or you're out.

Just amazing. And I'm told that I saw a story. I tried to find it that TSA are starting to remove the full body. scanners, but they have the walk-through scanners now that you don't need to, and I haven't been to an airport in quite a while to fly. You know, picked enough people up at the airport. I'll tell you that. I'm told that you just have to walk through the scanners now. The stories are that TSA is removing the full-body scanners and the government has canceled the contract with the company that made them. So we are actually in the, what was the year that we were

supposed to be living in for Total Recall, the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. It was made way back in 1990. Remember in that movie, he walked through the X-ray scanner, right? And he was, that's where we're at now. He just walked through and you just walked through the scanner. That's where we're at. What year was total recall supposed to be? 2084.

Mars is Conlon. I can't even speak today. Mars is colonized under a tyrannical regime. That's in 2084. Wow. So we're there. We are there.

Incredible. If we have not colonized Mars by 2084, something has happened to Elon. Speaking of Elon, you can follow me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR. You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can always email the show,

Chewing the Fat, at the Blaze.com. I have a YouTube channel that I've neglected chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher, but I keep telling myself I'm going to stop neglecting it. So I promise I will stop to neglect it. I will stop neglecting it very soon, promise. Okay, cross my heart. And you can also order a cameo from me at Jeffey JFR on Cameo. That isn't free.

Unlike this podcast, Chewing the Fat, which is free. But you can order it. Camio is my pimp, and you can ask me to be happy, sad. glad, mad, mean, whatever you wish. Whatever the pimp says I gotta be, that's what I gotta be. So who died today? Who died today? Judy. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

She was 84 years old. She was the former wife to Mike Farrell, who, you know, big time MASH guy. and so she only appeared in eight episodes of the television show MASH and that's Mike saying, hey, I'll get you some work. Let's put you in eight episodes, no problem.

Make a little money on the side. Happy to do it. Loretta Swett, who acted alongside Farrell and Mash, said that Judy was a most beautiful woman inside and out. Now, amazingly, she was in some other shows in her career as well. She was in Quincy. Gotta love Quincy.

The Partridge family, she wrote for Port Charles, which was the spin-off to General Hospital. And she was in a 2006 romantic comedy, long-term relationship. Man, that was good, huh? So Judy Farrell, known for her role as Nurse Abel in Mash. And also, I mean, hello, she was on Quincy with Jack Klugman. Hello. She has passed away due to a stroke.

at the age of 84. Also, who died today, a Tori Bowie, a U.S. track and field star. Amazing. She won multiple world titles and an Olympic gold in the 4x00 relay. She has passed away. They did not say what she died of.

She was found dead in her home in Winter Garden on Tuesday down in Florida. and her cause of death has not been made public. And so don't look at me like that because it's probably not that. It looks like, I think, the way it's worded and the way the family talks, it was suicide. Very sad. It's just the sister posted a message saying, you know, some cryptic message that those people who pretend to be happy sometime are the saddest souls. So I feel like that means suicide, not what.

what you're thinking. Okay? Yeah. You know what you're thinking. So Tori boy at the age of 32. Rest in pace. We also have ex-UFC fighter, Felipe cholera. 29 dead.

Don't look at me like that. Nope. Sorry. You're wrong this time again. Okay. Felipe was hit by a bus in Brazil. Now, you may have been sick with what you're thinking of, but that didn't kill him.

It was the bus. So Felipe Coloros, dead at the age of 29. Okay, so not only do we have trains derailing, causing things to break up and burn and lose product. Now we have to worry about semis, and I know it's just a coincidence. And nobody supports truckers more than this show, Chewing the Fat, and myself, Jeff Fisher. But I hope everything's okay with my friends, the truckers. So we have an issue in Florida where more than a million bees were swarming a Florida highway when a tractor trailer collided with another truck hauling more than 5 million of the insects on their way to produce honey.

The beekeeper is still counting his losses, but financially and numerically, as many of them flew away from the scene of the crash. Wow. So no one was hurt. no injuries were reported pretty amazing the bees were like we're out have a nice day thousands of bees in the area

the public was advised hey use a little caution in the area would you the bees are flying around so the accident happened about 315 a.m., which is good Highway 301

near the I-10 ramp in Baldwin, Florida the tractor trailer crashed onto the truck which was carrying a pickup hauling dozens of bee hives. We both had a green light, but the semi-truck made a U-turn

without a turn single. I didn't see it coming, so I just hit right at the front end of the truck. Okay. And Padgett was transporting his bees to a honeymaker in the town of Alati. So the tractor trailer was hauled away

around 7 a.m. And the company was looking to load the undamaged hives onto another truck. And the remaining hives were still on the damaged trailer, the swarming with the bees. And so we're hoping that, you know, we left a few hives on the side of the road that will attract some bees back. And so 25 to 30 hives were completely destroyed.

That's a lot of bees. That's a lot of bees. According to this, that's estimated, $40,000 worth of bees were lost. Wow. And full cost of damage is expected to reach $80,000 in losses. Pretty incredible. the bees were not insured but the tractor trailer drivers insurance I guess is going to help cover some of the losses so we'll see I hope that everything works out for the Florida beekeeper because that's uh you know we've had we've had

semis now that we get to the story of the semis okay we've had tractor trailers overturning with 20 tons of corn on the highway. We've had 20 tons of meatballs overturned. The corn was in Wisconsin. The beat balls were in Virginia. We've had semi-tractor tailors spilling Italian cuisine out of the highways in California and Texas. We've had tractor trailers tipping over with tomatoes.

Like 300,000 of them spilling fruit all over the place. We had another big rig in Tennessee spill Elfrido sauce. getting a huge mess. We've talked about all of this. Not a good time for semi-driver. So please be careful out there, guys.

Take it easy, okay? No matter what you're hauling. Whether it's Alfredo sauce or beehives, be careful, would you? Wait, we've got another MASH actress dead? Oh, no. Ellen, or Eileen Saki, not Ellen. E-I-L-E-E-N-S-A-K-I,

a MASH actress has passed away at the age of 79. Rest in peace. She's also known as the owner of Rosie's Bar on the famed TV series. Eileen died in Los Angeles after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Very sad at the age of 79. She's been working, though. She's been doing an Uber Eats commercial. She's done Shark Week commercials.

Her husband said she loved her time on MASH. Appreciate it all the... All the messages from former MASH people. I don't know how many more MASH people there are out there. Sounds like they're all dropping over. So anyway, she had pancreatic cancer, and that's very, very sad. So another one from MASH kicks over. So she, it says here that she was in Splash, okay.

And without a trace. I love that show, actually. That was a good show at the time. And Boys will be boys. So Eileen Saki, dead at the... the age of 79. When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list?

Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for every?

Everyone at Winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous for less. Okay, houses of the hoity-toity. Want to know the difference between buying a mansion in Colorado and buying a mansion in Los Angeles. I would say it's about $20 million difference. So I see I'm reading the story about Peyton Manning going inside his mansion in Colorado that he bought.

and it's beautiful. It's six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, 11,302 square feet, elevator, wine room, billiars, table, bar, modern kitchen, spaces, living room, fireplace,

walk-in closet, seven car garage. And these, you know, they talk about, that's helped him transition from, you know, Indianapolis to Denver, and it's a beautiful house.

And you see it's supposed to be in this exclusive hoity-to-to-y neighborhood in Colorado Cherry Hills Village. It's considered, according to this, one of the highly priced properties in the nation. The village is considered to be one of the most highly priced properties in the nation.

I was looking at the house. It's beautiful. But I see houses like that all the time in South Lake, Texas. I do not live in South Lake, Texas. They allow me to drive through it from time to time. But then I see a story where Sophia Ritchie and Elliot Garage just bought a new newlywed mansion

in Los Angeles for $26.9 million. And their Los Angeles mansion is six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, 10,700 square feet, smaller than Peyton's place.

And it sits behind a gated driveway with lush hedges. And, you know, it's got the main house and custom designed, living room, dining room, a library, chef's kitchen and you open up into a fireplace expansive lawns fire pit swimming pool uh poolside cabana all of that stuff but there's quite a bit of difference i don't know like 20 million dollar difference

of living in los angeles and not living in uh and living in cherry hills colorado so those are houses of the hoity toidi both beautiful places both i would say i mean you and i could live in uh i like I mean, you're living in California, right? I mean, come on. But these, I mean, Grange is the eldest child of the CEO of Universal Music Group. And, of course, you know, what's her face, Richie? I wonder where she's from. I don't know.

Lionel Richie's kid. So they're used to having quite the life. And they continue to have quite the life. Good for them. Good for them. Oh, speaking to hoity-toits, I forgot to mention yesterday when we were breaking down the Met Gallo. uh serena williams who showed up with her husband uh at the met gala according we were so happy when

we were invited uh-huh were you yeah we got invited we got invited to pay to come that's great so anyway uh serena showed up she's 41 now and if she is pregnant again uh amazing uh she showed off her prominent baby bump as she walked the red carpet at the mat i know i know she had her one kid Olympia, Alexis Olympia, I think was her kid, and she was born in 2017 and now she's Preggers again. So I know that she

looked elegant and beautiful in her Gucci dress. Did she though? And so, so, so funny. And I know that we were really excited when she invited the three of us to the Met Gala. Ah, ha, ha, ha.

get it and i'm looking at the pictures of serena and hubby and showing off the baby bump and uh they have the makeover videos and uh now some would say not me i would not say this but some would say that perhaps the makeover artist you know did do the job and i didn't say that i'm just saying that some would say that because she really oh she looks beautiful She looks beautiful. Who am I to say? What is beautiful and what isn't? Well, I mean, I am fashion, so I can say that.

I mean, congratulations to Serena and Hubby for, you know, making the world a better place with a new child. Congratulations. We appreciate you showing off that pregnancy at the MacGala. And you both look beautiful, seriously. I see where amazingly we have caught the shooter in Texas. the guy who killed five people in Cleveland, Texas, Francisco Oropesa,

we found him hiding under laundry in a closet. Apparently, that did not disguise him as much as he hoped it would. So they arrested him from a tip that led authorities to the house. Now, there's a $80,000 reward, I thought, for catching this guy. So I would like to hope that someone gets that money. one place offered 50,000 and another place offered 30,000. So there was a total of 80,000

catching this guy. He was arrested in the city of Cut and Shoot, Texas, which is beautiful this time of year. So a tip called into the FBI yesterday afternoon, led to his arrest. And so that's great. Good, we've got this douchebag.

And he's in jail. And hopefully, I don't know, we're going to send him back again for the fifth. or six time or are we going to pay for him to be in prison here in the United States of America? That's probably what's going to happen. I did love, nobody really talked about it, but when it originally happened, they released the FBI. You know them, you love them.

I guess we're supposed to just pretend like it didn't happen. But they had released the guy who was the shooter, and they spelled his name wrong, and they put the wrong picture up. So the real guy that they had, uh, was wrongly. named was like, hey, that's not me. I'm over here. Hello. I didn't do any of this. So then they had to change it. And they spelled it apparently with the Z instead of an S. And when you use the Z, it comes up with another guy. I don't know. Really strange. But it was really amazing that, you know, our authorities did that. Oh, I know it was, you know, off the cuff and just quick and firsthand thing. It was just a

horrible thing. I know, but you would hope that the authorities would get that right. So they did finally get it right, finally. And we have arrested the man under a pile of laundry. He killed five people for telling him to, hey, please, why don't you shoot your gun

someplace else? What a guy. And as long as we're talking about criminals, I see where German police have made several arrest as part of a wide-scale operation against the attack. Italian mafia. Yeah, the Italian

Indrangetta. Yeah, that mafia. You know, the... Indrangetta. Yeah, that's what I said, the Andrangetta mafia. In several European countries. I mean, hundreds of German officers carried out raids in five parts of the country.

Regional prosecutors said that operations took place in Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. More than 30 people were arrested, and dozens of apartments, houses, and offices were raided. They're accused of money. Money laundering.

And remember, the suspects are accused. It doesn't make them guilty. Accused of money laundering, organized tax evasion, fraud, narcotics trafficking. That's it, though. Bavaria police investigating eight people, including four who were arrested. They are arresting all kinds of the... In Drangetta. Mafia.

And so they're coming. putting it down, they're hard on them. Remember we have to move there and we'll see what happens. I mean, there's been a long-running feud between families from the Calabria-San-Luca home of the Jordan-Kia family.
