Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. So we have all had our issues with ants, A-N-T-S, not A-U-N-T-S, although some of us may have had issues with aunts as well. But I'm going to talk specifically about ants. All right, so there's a new study now that talks about this parasitic ant queen that can manipulate a colony into, killing its queen using chemical warfare. Oh, okay. So the move allows the invading queen to take control and trick workers into raising her offspring

until they die. Now, ants have been known to commit matricide, killing their queen, who is their biological mother, by the way, including in cases when a queen is no longer fertile. There have also been documented cases of regicide when an invading queen, kills another by beheading her or biting her throat. However, yesterday a study was released on how a new, maided Lusius oriental queen can trick Lassius flavis worker ants into doing the dirty work. The invading queen sprays the host queen with a liquid from her abdomen.

That's got to be fun, believed to be formic acid. masking the host queen's scent and causing her daughters to see her as an intruder. The worker ants then descended on their queen mother, killing her in mass. Game of Thrones is in real life. I mean, ants just have been driving me crazy for years. I lived in Florida. I think if we killed all the ants in Florida, Florida would sink. I think that's what's keeping the state afloat.

and I do believe that it's starting to keep Texas afloat as well because there's ants everywhere and you just fight them off as best you can you guys stay out there, I'll stay in here and we'll keep it that way but they like to invade and that's what they do, they invade and so we've got to find a way to destroy them

because if they can do this to themselves holy cow think what they could do to you I know. Welcome. Welcome to Toeing the Fat Fat 5 Plus. Oh boy. The fire must be dwindling.

a little bit in the Jeff Bezos-Loren Sanchez-Bezos marriage because it's reported here that Jeff Bezos is going to return to the trenches, as they call it, as co-CEO of a new AI startup, Project Prometheus. So Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos, seems to be getting his hands dirty once again. The billionaire is partly backing a new AI startup called, Project Brometheus that has raised a $6.2 billion in funding and will take on duties as co-chief executive of the new venture. Huh. Isn't that interesting? So he is, because he's, he stepped back from Amazon and I think he's still, you know, he's got blue origin as well,

and that's still, you know, cranking out rockets and trying to pretend like it's keeping up with SpaceX. So now then he's going to do this. I mean, I feel like, I feel like the hotness of Loren Sanchez Bezos is wearing off. And he's just got to, look, I just got to work. Sorry, I love you, but you can do whatever you need to do out here on the yacht. And we've traveled the world a couple times now. And I, you know, I love you and everything. But I got, I got to work. I got this new thing. Yeah, I got this new thing. And I need my help over at Blue Origin. And You know, I still have a couple of board meetings every now and then for Amazon. So, you know, I'll see you.

But just not every day like before because, you know, I still love you and everything. But I got work who could be over soon. I mean, he still loves her. He just doesn't love her, you know, like before. Oh, man, remember we had the story about her. getting mad because he was all about trying to get what's her face

Sidney Sweeney to be in a movie either you know for Amazon Prime or MGM or whatever other movie company he owns and the rumors were having it that Lauren was pissed that he was all taken by Sidney Sweeney yeah the fire is starting to dwindle a little bit so it could be over soon you just never know

I hope it doesn't my I'm not hoping for something like that to happen that would just be wrong. You don't want marriages to end like that. But it looks like it could possibly be happening because, holy cow, she's jealous and he's starting to work again at another place. Okay. Yeah, no, no, I believe you. You're still in love. And, you know, speaking of, you know, head guys and owners and CEOs and, you know, president of boards, I see we're a Walmart CEO. is stepping down at the end of this year, Doug McMillan.

And I was thinking when I first heard the news that the Walmart CEO was stepping down, I was thinking it was John Ferner, but John Ferner's going to take over. Because remember, Ferner was the one that was out there promoting Thanksgiving meals and how great Walmart is. And he currently heads up Walmart's U.S. business.

McMillan obviously oversees it all. Ferner started, I mean, he was great. And I thought he was, I thought he did a great job promoting, the you know their Thanksgiving stuff and that's why he was out there doing it obviously it's you know a U.S. thing plus he knew Doug was getting ready to step down he started at Walmart in 1993 as an hourly associate and he's going to be the CEO pretty incredible but I didn't realize when we've talked about this I think a couple of times here on Two in the Fat that you know

CEOs are leaving at a record number I mean, we had a record high in 2024, which I know we talked about then. According to outplacement firm, Challenger, Gray, and Christmas, love them. They've tracked departures since 2002, and in 2025, it's looking to be almost as intense. So far this year, 1,650 CEOs have departed through September. Wow. And the same period in 2024, 1,6502. Just too less.

Wow. I mean, that's some serious CEO turnover. And good luck. Good luck to these corporations. But it does make you step back and go, what is going on? Because look, we had the Coles CEO. That just lasted a few months, right? We had Target.

He's planning on stepping down. next January. X, Linda Yacarino, stepped down in July. Daniel Eck, the guy who created Spotify, says he's going to shift into the company's executive chairman role after 20 years as CEO. Yeah, I have had enough. I mean, maybe he's made enough money and, you know,

it's time for him to just sit back and not worry about day-to-day stuff. But still, that's pretty incredible. So, I mean, it's just amazing. And look, it's not me saying this. It's the outplacement. firm Challenger Gray and Christmas. So, you know, I'm just letting you know the numbers that they're giving us. And look, many of these are not because they weren't doing good job on the job.

Many of these, they got caught up in affairs with coworkers, with underlings, right? I mean, there were plenty of CEOs, and I say plenty. There were a number of CEOs that got in trouble because they were taking care of a little business at the office when they shouldn't have been. And so that got them in trouble. And we had the, you know, we had the famous CEOs, you know, show up at a concert, the CEO and the HR person. So those all fall in to those numbers, right? But, I mean, 1,750 CEOs have departed already this year.

That's incredible. So I was reading about the smartest person in the world. This person is actually, you know, she's Sabrina Gonzalez Pastorsky She is In her 30s now But at 14 She built an airplane in her garage

At 16 she flew it At 21 she graduated from MIT With a perfect 5.0 grade point average Now she's solving mysteries that stumped Einstein Stephen Hawking cited her research Before he died Jeff Bezos tried to recruit her She said

No She did YouTube videos She built this plane Because she wanted to build a single engine Aeroplane from scratch in her garage No kit, no instructions Just YouTube videos Aviation manuals pure determination

By 16 she flew it Herself Youngest person ever to fly a plane they built Now the FAA inspector Who's certified it said in 30 years I've never seen anything like this but here's the crazy part she almost didn't get into MIT

that's correct MIT said no look you're 18 and your grades are good but they're not extraordinary so she went I mean she went to a regular public school no fancy resume no connections but she did something wild she sent them a video

not a TED talk but a video of her flying the plane she built MIT's response was you can start in the next semester. They not only accepted her, they fast-tracked her admission. Three years later, she graduated 5.0. Fastest physics graduation in MIT history.

Her professor said she was the best student they'd seen in decades. Yeah. Now, she's working on now three big things, and who isn't really in life? It's good to have goals. She's working on quantum gravity. that's how does gravity work

when things are tiny we don't know she's figuring it out working on black holes when stuff falls into a black hole where does the information go Einstein couldn't solve it hawking tried she might celestial holography

what is what if the entire universe is like a hologram what if everything happening in 3D space is actually encoded on a 2D surface I mean does it sound I'm crazy. I don't think so. That's cutting edge physics. And here's the wildest

part. I mean, Hawking cited her in research papers when she was, I think, 25, you know, before he died. So, everyone wants you when you're that smart. You know, Bezos wanted her at Blue Origin. She said, nope. Facebook reached out. He's not interested. I'm

not interested in making tech billionaires richer. I want to understand how the universe works. No social media, no distractions, no interviews. Just pure focus on physics. Oh. Okay, I guess she's the next Einstein, according to Forbes. And she wants the biggest mysteries in physics that will be worked on by her. All right.

So we'll see if that actually happens. Now, she right now is working at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study. I mean, yeah, somebody's got to pay her so that she can at least have some food while she works all these hours trying to figure this out. So that's pretty much the smartest person on the planet today. Sabrina Gonzalez Pastorsky. Now, let's talk about some dummies on the planet, shall we? A man is accused of vandalizing a church on Veterans Day in Tyler, Texas.

So he vandalized the church, and he tore down all the United States flags that were around the church. So Timothy Myers Pool, 48, tore flags down at the Veterans Day display, and then vandalized the Lakewood Church in Flint. Okay. So according to the police department, he shattered glass on the front door through concrete lid, similar to a septic tank lid into them. They searched the church but found no one inside. Church representative arrived at the church and showed them video of the incident happening. Okay, so we've got it on video. Now, according to the sheriff's office, this is unrelated to this particular vandalism, okay?

According to the sheriff's office, a deputy was conducting an unrelated traffic stop when Poole pulled up on the deputy, exited his vehicle, allegedly approached the deputy, and became aggressive with him. The deputy gave Poole several orders to leave the traffic stop or back away. He refused. He then was arrested for interfering with public duties. and booked into Smith County Jail, which was a good place that he needed to be because when they were looking at the film

of the church vandalism and the criminal mischief on the flags, they found his driver's license and they realized that's who it was and it was the same person. So he's got that going for him. There's some kind of issue there. So I don't know what that issue is,

but it is not, it is not, walking down the same road as the smartest person on the planet. Then we have a smuggler who was busted because he was carrying sedated, endangered parakeets in his underwear while crossing into the U.S. from Mexico. So he was indicted on federal smuggling charge. Yeah, you can't be doing that. Don't be bringing your heavily sedated endangered parakeets in your underwear. across the border okay jesse agas martinez the u.s. citizen living in tiawana was attempting to cross

the border at the ote messa port of entry on october 23rd when customs and border protection officer noticed a bulge in martinez's groin area huh that's strange records obtained by the CBP officers also showed that martinez had a pension for smuggling birds into the united states Oh, so we're going to have to need you to go to a secondary inspection. And the officers said several times that the bulge was his penis. I know. That's what he was telling the officers. But they were like, no.

And now they inspected him and they found two brown sacks. No, not that. Stop it. They found two brown sacks, each containing an orange. an orange forded parakeet and they were in his underwear so you can't have that

there's a picture of the parakeets out of the bags just sitting there on the counter sedated it's not funny it's not funny at all but you can't do that

you can't be sneaking parakeets into the country period let alone sedating them and then putting them in your underwear that's awesome and we also So then we have some more dumb criminals today in Thailand.

81 monkeys and meth were found in a car driven by these wildlife smugglers, according to rangers in Thailand. They've arrested two men being part of an international wildlife smuggling network. Okay. They were intercepted at a car carrying 81 monkeys near the Cambodian border. Thailand, apparently, is a major transit hub for wildlife smugglers who often sell highly prized endangered creatures on the lucrative black market in China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. So they stopped a vehicle, and they found the monkeys stuffed into blue net bags. And there's a picture of all these monkeys in the back of this pickup truck just stuffed into these bags, man.

It's so sad. I mean, come on now. I get smuggling of it. It's tough to feel sorry for these monkeys because, I mean, there's places. We see all the time. There's thousands of monkeys. They take over cities. So, 81 of them of these macaque's, macaques.

Macac. Yeah, like I said, there was 81 of them. And so then, after that, they searched the vehicle, and they found methamphetamine pills and crystal meth, separately from the meth pills. So they didn't say how much of that they found. But, I mean, it takes a lot. You gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be doing some meth

when you're capturing 81 macaque. Yeah, monkeys, so, you know, not really the smartest woman in the world work, but they try.

You know what I'm saying? Plus, we have some breaking news. And with the $15, I mean, that only puts me... $15 whole dollars, by the way.

That only puts me like, I don't know how much money behind, but it does make it go behind for sure. We did have some breaking news, though. Texas governor, Greg Abbott, has just designated the Muslim Brotherhood and care, you know, the unindicted co-conspirator, care, as terrorist organizations. So I don't know what that will mean to the great state of Texas,

what that will mean for the Muslim Brotherhood or care, but he's done it, and there's going to be a lot of people that are saying, good, and let's do more. so and he will say I'm doing what I can doing what I can all right well roll on Greg no seriously you keep you keep going Greg okay who died today who died today well I'd like to talk today a little bit about what is happening at Disney World Resorts so within this past month within the past month a little over a month now five and guests have died at Disney World Resorts? Ouch. Pretty remarkable. Law enforcement officials say the incidents appear unrelated. Huh. Okay. All right. If you say so.

The back-to-back timing has cast an unusually somber tone over a destination built on joy and imagination. Yeah, I would say so. So these, what we're hearing now is information from the Orange County Sheriff's Office and verified local media. And they detail medical emergencies and confirm suicides at Disney's most well-known hotels. Contemporary Resort, Bay Lake Tower, Fort Wilderness Campground, Pop Sensory Resort, and the Saratoga Springs Resort. So on October 14th, the first report of the... incident took place of a monorail line property that's among the most recognizable at Walt Disney World guests in the area described a heavy emergency response near the hotel's main tower

after reports of a possible monorail accident oh okay no that wasn't it no they have determined that a 31 year old woman had died by suicide after falling from an upper level area of the hotel Oh, okay. The cause of death was multiple blunt impact injuries. Yeah. And they emphasized that the monorail system was not involved. Okay, so it had nothing to do with the monorail system. It had something to do with her falling from an upper level area of the hotel.

Okay. She was from Illinois. She was known as a passionate Disney fan. I guess if you wanted to kill yourself and you were a passionate Disney fan, you would go there to end your life? Just really, really sad. Again, I want to say, if you feel like the earth is a better place without you in it, you're wrong.

And if you feel like that's the case, you should dial 988. And that's the lifeline and help line, and they will talk to you and hopefully get you through it. I've been getting emails from several people who listeners to this show. and Pat Grand Leach, who talk about having 9-8-8 helped and saved them. So please do so. If you feel like the earth is a better place without you on it. You're wrong.

I'm sorry, you're wrong. Dial 9-88. Then on October 21st at the Fort Wilderness Death, the Fort Wilderness Death, and it was natural causes. Oh, okay, because that's the campground and it's, you know, peaceful, and it's got the long-term campsides. Well, I guess there was a person down on October 21st, about 7.30 in the morning. Man in his 60s was transported to a nearby hospital, later pronounced dead.

Authorities determined that there was natural causes. There was no foul play. Oh, okay. The two cases, again, these two cases, unrelated. Then we had the death at Bay Lake Town. Oh, okay, this was just a couple days after the Fort Wilderness strategy. Huh, okay. Multiple eyewitnesses told outlets that the hotel staff quickly placed privacy screens,

tel carts, and partitions around the scene while authorities conducted their investigation. Officials later identified the victim as 28-year-old Matthew Cohn, whose death was ruled a suicide after falling from a 12th floor balcony. Wow. Okay, multiple traumatic injuries. He had checked into the hotel. the night before paying in cash. Okay.

Just want to be clear, these cases are unrelated. Then November 2nd, medical emergency at the Popsensure Resort, which is family-oriented value property. And according to reports, a woman in her 40s suffered a medical emergency and was pronounced dead at the scene. They confirmed that there were no signs of foul play, though no additional information, including the woman's name or cause of death was made public. Interesting.

But they had nothing to do. There's no, nothing to do with any of the other cases. So don't you even worry about it? I guess the incident came to light after we found out that they were calling the person down a dead person for serious, you know, medical events. Oh, okay. No problem. And then November 8th. We had a death at Saratota Springs Resort.

Oh, okay. That's the resort and spa. Lakeside property. Yeah. Apparently a person down in the afternoon. The call was released. It was a dead person response. They have not released the identity or the cause of death.

And they're still investigating the case. But it has nothing to do with the other cases. They are completely, completely unconnected. Okay. So don't be thinking that the five cases have something, you know, between them because they don't okay they're just five unrelated deaths at disney so rest and peace to all the people who died at disney all right let's get out here here is a joke of the day this joke of the day you know people try they keep continuing to write and sent me uh their jokes

to chewing the fat at the blaze dot com and fred is just like you he's trying to write jokes for the show. And since today we've talked about monkeys getting wrapped up in blue-netted bags and we've talked about parakeets getting stuffed down a guy's pants to be smuggled. I want to talk about animals, okay? This is a joke

and this is Fred's joke. And I would say you know, look, it's a big, long joke, it's a long way to the well, but at least he's trying. He is attempting to write, okay? So a lost dog strays into a jungle. A lion sees the dog from a distance and cautiously thinks, this guy

looks edible. I've never seen his kind before. And the lion starts rushing toward the dog. The dog notices it begins to panic, but just as he's about to run, he spots some bones nearby. Thinking quickly, the dog loudly exclaims, oh, that lion was

good meat. Hearing this, the lion stops abruptly in his tracks and thinks, whoa, this guy seems tougher than he looks, better leave while I still can, and the lion retreats cautiously. Up in the tree a monkey witnesses the entire scene realizing he could gain favor with the lion the monkey decides to

spill the truth and he swings down and tells the lion what really happened and now the lion is furious and so the lion says get on my back we'll deal with him together the lion and the monkey rushed back toward the dog spotting them the dog panicked again but quickly comes up with another idea he shouts loudly where the hell is that monkey I told him to bring me another lion an hour ago. So I told you it was a long way to the well. But, you know, because he was cut. Well, no, you got it.
