Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Last year, we talked about MEDA, Facebook, agreeing to a settlement over the Cambridge Analytica case. Now, they agreed to the settlement without admitting any wrongdoing. Oh, okay. And that's the big takeaway from the announcement.

But the settlement was for $725 million. The scandal was about Cambridge Analytica and other third parties. Meta Facebook gave access to private user information and misleading users about its privacy practices. So you have now, if you were a Facebook user, had or have an active account now, sometime between May 24, 2007 and December 22, 2022, you're eligible to be part of this settlement class, even if you've already, even if you've since deleted your accounts, okay?

So there's, it's not clear now how much of, how much settlement you're going to get. I mean, you may get five bucks, but, or you may get, uh, you know, a few thousand dollars. The fund is going to be distributed to class members who submit valid claims based on how long they had an active Facebook account during, the relevant period. So they have a link here to who file your complaint, I mean, submit your claim and, you know,

take a shot. I mean, I'm thinking, look, 87 million people are not going to claim, put in a claim for this class action settlement, right? So you got to figure what? Even if it's, even if it's 50, if it's 50 million, right? 50 million goes into 700. 125 million what a little over 14 times so okay I mean that's a couple of bucks and the attorneys of course will you know get their cut and I don't know if they've already gotten their cut or the 725 million is the full amount and the attorneys are taking their cut from that so cuts into the class action anyway I'll let you know and if you used Facebook between the 24th of 2007, May 24th, 2007, and December 22nd, 2022,

you're eligible to be a part of the settlement class. So I feel like I'm going to try to get some money from Facebook. And there's no way that 87 million people are going to be a part of this class action. But of course, no, no, of course not, Jeff. They're going to allow 8 billion people and you're going to get 10 cents. I know. That's what I'm looking. I'm just planning on.

If I get a quarter, I'll be happy. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So I guess we have to keep our heads up still, waiting for the satellite to fall back to Earth. I was supposed to land yesterday. It did not. And now it's supposed to land today. Although there was some sort of meteorite or satellite.

or satellite or something that blew up over the Ukrainian skies and there was a powerful flash in the night sky which was reported on social media and you could see it but NASA said that that is not one of our spacecrafts

nope our spacecraft is still in orbit it has not re-entered Earth's atmosphere yet oh okay well I thought you said that it was gonna come on to the earth yesterday. Nope, it hasn't come yet. Sorry. Oh, okay, they didn't say sorry. I'm saying that. So keep your head up. You never know when it's gonna reenter the the Earth's atmosphere. You still have a one in two thousand four hundred and sixty seven chance of getting hit. So we're just gonna keep monitoring and keep your eyes to the sky and we'll see if the old Ressie, satellite makes its way to Earth.

There's a new study that's been released that claims that drinking Coca-Cola and Pepsi can lead to larger testicles and higher testosterone levels. It's a study. I have a question of study. The Northwest Minzu University in China, and I'm a huge fan of the fight. Northwest Menzoo University. They had this study to determine the impact of carbonated beverages on fertility and sex organs in men.

The study looked at three groups of mice. One that only drank water, another that drank different levels of Coca-Cola, with another doing the same with Pepsi. Over 15 days. Okay. So tests on the rodents in three. included weighing their testicles and drawing blood. That's a good gig.

How would you like to work in our testing facility? Oh, I would. I would. That's why I came to Northwest Menzoo University here in China. Well, come on aboard. What you're going to do for us is the next 15 days, you're going to weigh rodent testicles and draw the blood. That's a good gig.

Anyway, they were tested on day one as well as day five, seven, ten, and fifteen. So you weren't testing him every day. Look, we've got a job for you. You have to weigh the testicles and draw the blood on day one, day five, seven, ten, and fifteen. So it's not as bad as every day. Look, you don't have to weigh their testicles every day. So it was quickly discovered that the mice drinking Coke and 100% Pepsi compared to a mixture of Pepsi and had a significant change.

The mice that were given pure Coca-Cola had higher levels of male hormone compared to the group that just drank water. The study concluded drinking Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola could promote testis development and enhanced testosterone secretion, provided the scientific basis for fully understanding carbonated beverages, the effects, and their mechanisms on development and reproduction functions of humans. and how they benefit the prevention of prostate dysfunction and cancer. Now, there's been other studies that said the sugary drinks made men less fertile, so I'm not really sure. What's going on there?

There was one survey of 20, now this is a survey, not a study, though, of 2,500 men showed that those who drank a liter of cola a day had 30% fewer sperm than those that drank none. And there's also some research that showed. those caffeine can increase testosterone levels. So you take that for what it is. We know that in a 15-day period of the mouse's, those myces had testicles that weighed more

and had a little bit more testosterone in their blood. And I will say that a lot of females, although this study did not show this and it wasn't did not you know they weren't testing for this in this study so this is a new study that they can that they can do at the old northwest minzu university is you can study if Coca-Cola and Pepsi along with water what the difference is to growing actual testicles because I know a number of females throughout my life that have been Coca-Cola drinkers. As a couple of them have been Pepsi drinkers, at least one that I could remember vividly was a Pepsi drinker. And I can often remember myself saying, wow, they've got some balls.

So perhaps it grows them on women. I don't know. Maybe Northwest Menzoo University can look into that. All right. So now you can't eat. even apply to be a hitman? I find that, I mean, is this even America? So last week, the FBI arrested Josiah Garcia. I guess that's how you say his name, J-O-S-I-A-H. Sorry about it, if it's wrong. Don't kill me. He's a Tennessee Air National Guardsman. He applied to be an assassin on rentahitman.com.

now I will say I mean people shouldn't get arrested just because they're dumb I mean you don't realize Rentahitman.com Oh I can work for them That's what he was thinking So the website is a parody site

That's been used to catch potential killers For years Because people actually go to rentahitman.com And they want to rent a hitman to kill their spouse Their parents, whoever and apparently you can't do that either I can't ask to hire someone

to kill somebody so apparently you can't even apply to be an assassin now either weird so in one of the many follow-up emails to his application he wrote I enjoy doing what I do

so I can find a job that is similar to such as this one put me in coach he also peppered in his nickname a Reaper which he was allegedly given for his excellent marksmanship. Okay. That's what I'm

talking about. So he's just applying to be a hitman. He didn't kill anybody. What did, I mean, what did they arrest him for? Seriously, what was he arrested for? He said, I want, why I want the job? I'm looking for a job that pays well related to my military

experience, shooting and killing the marked target, so I can support my kid on the way. What can I say, enjoy what I enjoy doing what I do. So an FBI agent claiming to be a field coordinator for the company reached out.

Darcya told the agent he needed money, thought he'd be a good killing people. Okay. Spoke about the supposed job, including where he was willing to torture people and cut fingers and ears up. But he didn't do it. He's just talking to the guy about it.

He's looking for a gig. He told the agent that he was looking into civilian law enforcement and wanted to do something more exciting. On Wednesday of last week, he met in a park where the agent provided him with a fictional target package. The agent also paid Garcia $2,500. Okay, so they paid him $2,500.

Supposedly the first of two installments, and he was arrested the same day because he took money to go kill someone. I mean, that's kind of, that's being framed in my book. That's being framed. Maybe you tell him, hey, dummy, this isn't real. We don't kill people. Go become a cop. go do find another job to help your kids.

But instead, we set him up and we know that he's looking for work and we give him money. I don't know. Get this man and a good attorney. I'm going to get him 10 years in prison because you set him up. I don't like this at all. I know. Don't look at me like that. I get it.

I get it. But it just seems a little much to go through. and go through all of this, talk to this guy back and forth and meet with him, when you could have easily just said, hey, dude, it's not real. Go find a real job. And he would have. So this guy Bob Ennis, the Northern California, who runs rentahitman.com, I guess he bought it a few years ago.

He was going to use it for some analysis company or something, and it never panned out. So he's just kept the, domain and then in 2010 he got a request serious enough to turn over the authorities from a woman hellbent on hiring an assassin to kill three of her relatives so in the years since anis has put a handful of others in the possession of law enforcement he estimates he saved nearly 150 people's lives by handing over the inquiries that appears serious to authorities okay so good for you you people contacted you to kill someone to actually

actually kill someone and you stopped that. But this guy was just looking for a gig to feed his family. And he figured, hey, you know what? I'm good at killing people. And then you set him up and you set to meet with them? I don't know. I don't like it. I don't like it.

Ten years in prison for using interstate facilities in the commission of murder for hire. What? I don't like this. This guy needs a good attorney. That's all I'm saying. Can't even apply to be a hitman anymore. This is not even America. All right, let's go to the break room.

I need something cold to drink desperately, maybe even Coca-Cola. So earlier in the week, we talked about Coachella's first weekend and how they got fined down $120,000 or something. And a bunch of that was because of Frank Ocean, who went way over the curfew time on Sunday night. Well, now it looks as though Frank Ocean is not going to be appearing the second weekend, this upcoming weekend at Coachella.

He's pulled out. Sorry about it. Oh, oh, my leg. My leg. I can't. I can't. You know, I wish I could. Oh, oh.

So I apparently, according to reports that it's doctor's advice, uh-huh, that he fractured and a fractures and a sprain in his left legs. So it really is this. Oh, my leg. Oh. Oh, I can't. I can't. I can't. So I guess he was going to do this big elaborate show with an ice rink and skaters.

And they called that off last weekend. And he did another big performance. But I guess he may have hurt himself practicing for this performance. Okay, I'll give him that. But he went way over. If he was hurting, why did he go over the curfew and cost Coachella and or himself a bunch of money? Anyway, if you're looking forward to Frank Ocean at Coachella this next weekend, sorry, it's going to be taken up by Blink 182. Now, how excited are you?

Speaking of concerts, though, I see where the coronation of King Charles is going to have a star-studded concert. Saturday, May 6th. I mean, we're bringing in Lionel Richie. We're bringing in Katie Perry. We're bringing in the musical group, Take a... that and there's going to be a bunch more. I guess they're setting up screens all over the country

so you'll be able to see it kind of cool actually I guess Andrea Bocelli will perform. My wife loves that guy. I'm forced to listen to music from him often in my life. Andrea Buccelli and that was a sound of just like him

too by the way. Sir Brent Turfell, British boy band. Well, let's take that. Katie Perry is going to be there. I already said that. Continue to have Gary Barlow involved. Oh, I see.

The group who dominated the charts. Oh, the take that group. Yeah. A group now consists of three original members, so not the whole band. We're not getting everybody back together for the king. And I see where they announced, you know, what kind of keesh he's going to have.

Oh, and Harry! So it's been decided that Harry is going to go. Yeah, I think we talked about that. So they decided Harry is going to go and he's going to leave Megan and the kids back home. But we just found out today that, and this does not surprise me at all. Man, I knew this was going to happen. And this is why we needed, man, he needs to find a way to cut the quills. cord, man. So he's going to the coronation without Megan and the kids. And you're thinking, well,

he's going to be there. They'll have a chance to talk to him. He'll be able to talk to his brother and talk to the king, talk to dad, and, you know, be able to say, Harry, what are you doing, man? You got to get out of there. However, it was reported today that he's only going for the coronation. He's not going to stick around for the concert. He's going to go to the coronation and then rush home to be with Megan and the King. kids. Oh my gosh. She is keeping a tight, tight chain on Harry. It is terrible, man.

So he's going to the coronation. She's allowing him to go to the coronation, but you can't stay. You are going to return A.S. You can go and say, hey, there's my dad with the crown on. Now I've got to get on a plane and come right back. Otherwise, Megan will just tighten the chain around my balls. Man, it is not a good thing. William, you have got to take a chance, man,

and talk to him at the coronation. Either take him off to the side, do something. I know you guys don't go to the bathroom doing those big events. that's just the real deal you've been trained that way. I get it. There's only certain points in your life when you could go to the bathroom and being at one of these events is not it.

But maybe you do. Maybe before you walk in, you both go to the bathroom and you got to get them off to the side, William, away from people and say, Harry, brother, bro, bro, bro, what are you doing? Probably not going to happen,

you know, just rush back to Megan. Be sure to follow me on social media, Twitter at Jeffrey JFR, Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio.

Okay, so subscribe for yourself. I see where there's a new study out that said podcasts as a source of news and information. About half of Americans have listened to a podcast in the past year and most of those listeners come across news content. you think so listeners turn to podcast for entertainment learning and simply to have something to listen to while doing something else

comedy entertainment and politics are at the top of the list of topics that podcast listeners say they regularly listen to I'm here for all of that by the way most podcast listeners say they hear news discussed on podcast however, just one in five listeners say they listen to a podcast that's connected to a news organization. Huh. Okay. So I guess I'm kind of connected to the Blaze because this is a Blaze podcast chewing the fat. But I mean, I don't do, I do partake in television, partake in some other shows on the Blaze. But anyway, it's just fine.

If you're here because of the Blaze, thank you. Appreciate it. If you're here because of me, thank you. Appreciate it. If you hear because, you know, I'm out hawking myself for a cameo. You know, thank you. No problem. Appreciate it.

I was looking at some of the information that came from this research from Pew. Really fascinating on podcasts. And, you know, you have sports related. Podcasts, you know, are covering a huge, huge landscape of everything. Large shares of podcast listeners say they turn to podcasts for entertainment, learning, and diversion. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Half of Americans have listened to a podcast in the last 12 months. Fewer Americans turn to podcasts in search of news.

Most listeners still say that news is at least part of their experience with podcasts. 29% say that staying up to date with current events is a major reason they listen to podcasts. Two-thirds of podcast listeners say they have heard news discussed on podcasts they listen to. Well, yeah. So much of so many stories are wrapped around news events. I mean, hello. Every platform can't get to them all no matter what. So do they expect it to?

actually be true though does it say that I don't know if they because if you're listening and you expect it to be accurate oh most listeners who get news on podcast expect it to be mostly accurate that's where I'm at

mostly accurate you're listening to this right now it's mostly accurate you have you have podcast listeners who hear news discuss on the podcast they listen to. 31% say

they trust that news. Wow, more than news they get from other sources. 55% about the same. 50% say less than news they get from other sources. That's interesting.

So you don't trust it. So 31% say, yeah, I kind of, you know, yeah, I kind of believe it. Okay. So 59% believe that they expect the news to be largely inaccurate. Wow. I mean, they expect, wait a minute. So most listeners who get news on podcasts expect it to be mostly accurate. 87% mostly accurate. And this one says 11% say mostly inaccurate. And a slightly different question asked of Americans who get news from social media.

Oh, I see. Okay, from social media. Right. Okay, not podcasts. Most listeners should get their news from podcasts. 87% believe it should be mostly accurate. Americans who get their news from social media in 2020, so they expect the news to see there to be largely accurate.

39% Wow So 59% at that time in 2020 who get their news from social media expect their news to be largely inaccurate That's a good way to be

That's a good way to be Anything you see on social media Don't believe it Go find other sources Find it to be true Or I don't know Just listen to chewing the fat And I'll let you know whether it's true or not

I promise. So who died today? Who died today? Otis Redding the third. Yeah, the original Otis Redding died back in 1967 in a plane crash.

So along with several band members. But his son was three years old, Otis Redding the third. So that means the original Otis Redding was Otis Redding the second. and so Otis Redding the first was the grandfather and or the father of the Otis Redding, which I don't know why that strikes me, but it just does. He lost his battle to cancer.

Very sad. He was 59 years old, Otis Redding, the third. He had some hits. I mean, he had, I don't know whether he had hits. They had multiple albums out there. He toured. He did a lot of stuff. He used to do his father's covers and stuff.

And he said at one interview that I give people what they want. I live with it. I don't put myself under any pressure. Go begging for record deals. So, you know, look, my dad was the superstar and the band, the Reddings, which we put together. You know, we're going to live with who we are. And we know who we are. So Otis Redding, the third, dead at the age of 59.

Rest in peace. Then we had Mark Sheehan. Mark Sheehan dead at the age of 46. He was the co-founder of Script, the Irish rock band that they formed alongside Danny O'Donohue and drummer Glenn Power back in 2001. And Mark Sheehan, dead at 46. After a brief illness. Huh. Don't look at me like that.

I didn't say that at all. I just said he passed away and it was after a brief illness at the age of 46. I didn't say that. I mean, I know what you're thinking and I didn't say that. I'm just telling you it was a brief illness and then he passed away at the age of 46. Then we lost another one to cancer. Keith Nail, Keith Nail at the age of 62. he appeared on two seasons of Survivor.

You remember him. Remember he worked as a fire captain and a paramedic before he appeared on Survivor. Keith Nail is a two-time survivor contestant, Keith Nail, passes away at the age of 62 following a battle with cancer. This cancer thing, man. You can quote me on this, we need to do something about this cancer thing. according to his brother it happened so quickly

and he passed away at his home in Shreveport, Louisiana at the age of 62. Keith Nail and we found out breaking news as we're going through who died today. BuzzFeed

News is closing shop. BuzzFeed News so they are almost 12 years old. They said that we're just getting rid of the BuzzFeed the News edition. That's it. Some of the people that work for our news division will be offered jobs at Huffington Post.

They said in this article, Huff Post. And so the Pulitzer Prize-winning BuzzFeed News brand shutting down. Very sad. I guess there's a memo that went out to the staff saying we're reducing our workforce by approximately 15% today

across our business content, tech, and admin teams. And we're beginning the process of closing BuzzFeed News altogether, closing the news division. So very sad they spent way too much money and did not have any money coming in. The owner said we over-invested in the news brand

because I loved the work and mission so much. But it's unsustainable. So BuzzFeed News dead at the age of 12. Now a person who has been in our who died today's segment, Aaron Carter, who passed away in his home in his bathtub at the age of 34, they have just revealed his cause of death. Okay. So we know that he was in his bathtub at his home near Los Angeles in November.

And we know now that he was, you know, His friends were concerned that he was misusing substances again, needed treatment, and we didn't know what was going to happen. They determined that he had drowned, he drowned due to the effects of Xanax and diphtherothane. Difflorothothane. Yeah, that's what I said. Difloraethane. Diflorothein. Yeah, that's what I said.

Which is an aerosol propellant found in spray cans. So he was huffing aerosol cans? Holy cow. Very sad. And so his death was ruled an accident. So Aaron Carter, we know now what killed him. Very sad. Very sad.

Then, you know, as long as we're in the Who Died Today segment, I see a headline that says, monkeys crush three-year-old to death with a boulder. So apparently these primates put. pushed a rock off of a roof and onto a boy playing below. DeV-V-U-N-U-N-U-R-I-A-V-N-U-R-I-A-V. Rest in peace. Three-year-old boy, very sad. The monkeys rolled a boulder onto his head.

I'm not laughing. I'm not laughing. You are. Okay, stop it. It's not funny. So this three-year-old boy, apparently these monkeys are up on the room. We've got to do something.

Monkeys are starting to get out of control in India, man. Something needs to happen. You can't quote me on that. I don't know what. Perhaps maybe we need to send some people out and say, here, little monkey. Come here, little monkey.

Who's a... Well, not so cute, little monkey. I start putting them down. I think we have to do that. So, and this kid, I mean, the poor kid. Now, so apparently, in the story they talk about, well, the monkeys were jumping around on the roof and they caused a boulder to fall off onto the child. Well, I mean, why do we have a boulder on the roof? I'm confused about that as well.

That's my first question. But, okay, so you got a boulder on your roof and the monkeys are jumping around and the boulder rolls off. but the kid had just suffered a near-death experience a few months ago when falling on a knife which pierced his throat. I mean, maybe it's the parents. I don't know. Maybe they need to be investigated. I don't know, but the kid fell on a knife which pierced his throat.

Didn't kill him. They rushed him to the hospital. He went under the knife again. and that one, the second time, saved his life. So he's recovered from that six months later, and then the parents let the monkeys roll a boulder on his head? There needs to be some investigations on everybody's part. But it is definitely time to start putting monkeys down.

Because in this story, they admit, they don't know how many people have been injured or made sick by monkey bites throughout India. And they've been wreaking havoc on the country. I mean, we've talked about the 70-year-old woman that died after being attacked by a pack of monkeys in the bathroom, right? Okay. We talked about the young girl, the five-year-old girl, after being swarmed by monkeys. They killed her near the river.

I mean, she was saved by the locals, but she ended up dying. They had beaten her up so bad. then we talked about the monkeys who dragged the twin girls away they rescued them one died one still alive we talked about the mother and four of her children were crushed to death in their home after a wall was brought down by a troop of monkeys uh no thank you uh we talked about a man who died after falling from a terrace at his home when he was attacked by monkeys yeah that happened I mean, that happened another time. I don't think that story is in this list

where the kid, they drug him off and threw him off the roof. Oh, yeah, because they just had it. They actually do have it in the story. After this one, they talked about how the infant was killed with the monkey, you know, threw from the roof. That's not funny.

I'm not laughing. And then we had the monkeys killed a little baby. Okay. The monkey jumps into the cot to steal the milk from the baby. We talked about the 60-year-old man was injured along with nine others after these monkeys went on a rampage. At least he did die, but hello. There's another woman that suffered severe injuries and died after she was attacked by a monkey outside her home.

I mean, people are getting injured, then trying to be saved and rescued and can't be because their injuries are too horrific. So India, you need to set up some kind of, it's time to take care of the monkey campaign and send people out. Here, little monkey, and they better have more than one bullet. But to start with, here, a little monkey, here, little monkey. And as soon as that little monkey comes up on you, man, and keep firing. Because I think you're going to need more than just one shot.

But something has to be done with these monkeys going out of control. Because as you know, this show, no one supports zoos more than this show and supports the upkeep of animals and keeping them alive on the planet for our pleasure and our survival. But always remember, humans first. So if you're listening live, today is 420. And yes, we will celebrate a little bit here on 420. but before we get to our celebration, I just want you to know that if you purchased a powerball ticket in Paris, Texas, at the Tiger Mart on Northeast Loop 286,

you have until 5 p.m. today to turn in your Powerball winning ticket for a million dollars. I would get that turned in today. Now, you've had 180 days to turn it in. Today is the last day. You can turn in your winning $1 million. ticket. Now you can't do it through the mail so they can't give the money back to the state until 12 weeks from now because if you were to send it in by mail and get it postmarked today, then you're still good. But people usually don't do that, but that's in the rules. So if you

live in Paris, Texas or we're driving through Paris, Texas, and you stopped off at the old Tiger Mart there on Loop 286. I would take a look at your Powerball tickets again because it's possible that you have the million dollar prize. You didn't win the Powerball to second tier winner, but a million

bucks. You can quote me on this. A million bucks is a million bucks. 420, dude. Are they going to launch or what? There it goes, dude. Really cool. Look at all that. Smoke, dude.

How would you like to smoke that? You know, the smoke, not the rocket, dude. I mean, it's 365 feet tall. So the rocket took off this morning. They paused the countdown originally, and then I thought, oh, here we go. They're going to cancel it again. But no, they restarted it, and they took off.

That's where you heard the 10-second countdown. Everybody was all excited, and off it went. And it flew for a few minutes. And then there was an issue when the super heavy booster and the starship did not separate. And then we had, you know, some problems where it was like, ooh, that doesn't look too good. And then it exploded. And I guess they would call it it imploded mid-descent. So, okay.

That really, really, really sucked. But hey, Elon said there was probably about a 50% chance that it would explode, you know, during the launch pad. And the goal was to clear the pad. So we did that, man. We did that. We cleared the pad before it broke into flames. Okay. So that's just a...
