With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. So I see a story about Johnny Depp going to this antique store in Lincolnshire. and it's the Helmswell Antique Center.

He went there this past weekend, and apparently the antique shop and Mr. Depp had arranged for him to come in and do some shopping at the end of the day. And it was supposed to be a low-key visit. He bought some guitars, and he looked at some other items that the place has. And he said Mr. Depp is, you know, really down to earth,

and he was wonderful, and it was just a wonderful, and it was just a wonderful low-key thing. Well, after reading this story, and I'm thinking, okay, well, that's cool, Johnny, you know, he's out to go around and talks about how he has to stay at hotels all the time, and he's bombarded by the paparazzi, and, you know, he just trying to be low-key here today.

But in the story, it talks about how he arrived in a helicopter. Okay, so I want to be. keep my visit, you know, on the down low, but I'm going to arrive in a helicopter. I was just going to land in the lot close to your shop and nobody'll know.

It's just low-key visit for me to show up at your antique center. So don't even worry about it. Nobody will even know I'm there. I mean, I didn't realize that Johnny Depp actually had a silent helicopter. Maybe he does.

Maybe he has a silent helicopter that zips in and zips out and nobody even knows you're there. But I kind of doubt it. So I don't know how low-key it actually was. Welcome! Welcome to chewing the fat. I'm confused, and I know that's not a new thing. But yesterday, the governor of California announced that the state, His state, California, Gavin Newsom, will no longer work with Walgreens.

He reportedly ordered the California Department of Health and Human Services to review all ties between the state and the company, including with the state's two largest public insurance plans. Nearly 14 million low-income Californians, about one-third of the state's population, are on the public plan Medi-Cal. It's unclear how much business those public insurance. insurance plans do with Walgreens. Newsom said the state won't do business with Walgreens or any company that coweres to extremists and puts women's lives at risk. Now, right aid and CBS have not announced any change in their policies. What are those policies? Well, earlier this year, the FDA gave pharmacies the okay to dispense the abortion bill to patients with prescriptions

in states where it's legal. Walgreens and CVS. were on board with the plan, I guess until last week when Walgreens said that they won't be selling the abortion pill in 20 states. So it comes after the Republican attorneys general in those states threatened to take legal action against the pharmacies that provide the pill. So right now, Walgreens doesn't even dispense the abortion pill in any state. And it said that it planned to distribute the pills based on where it's legal and operationally feasible. So that means that if you don't sell the abortion pill everywhere, you aren't going to be able to do business in California,

according to Governor Gavin Newsom. Okay, let me know how that works out. I'm not sure that's going to work out well. Companies aren't going to go against the law. and your state is where it's legal, they said they would sell the abortion pill. I'm, again, I'm confused, because what I get out of this is that if these companies

don't sell this abortion pill everywhere, then they won't and can't do business in California. All right, I hope that works out for everybody. Okay, so how is Charles not king yet? I mean, this coronation isn't until May. My gosh, let's get to it. Okay, let's hop sing on that. Let's go, you're already king.

Let's move on. We don't even know if Harry and Megan are going to show up for the coronation. I guess he got an email. It's reported that Harry did get an email from the king saying, or the king's office. How can it be the king's office if he's not the king yet? Anyway, about the coronation saying, hey, want you to show up? You can bring what to? face if you want. I'm pretty sure that's what the email said. Now, they were just kicked out of

they had their cottage over there and Frogmore that everybody was all pissed off about because they got kicked out. Charles said, nah, you don't get the Frogmer cottage anymore. I want all your stuff out. Okay? You and anything that your stuff is in that cottage, get out. Because he's kicking Andrew out of Buckingham and making, I think he's giving Frogmore to Andrew, just go over there, get out of my face. I don't want to see you. And he said that Harry and Megan can stay at the palace when they come back to London. So it's really not that big a deal. It's just that they don't have their own little cottage like they had.

That's where they were. I mean, they're probably not even going to show up anyway. And, you know, nobody really wants them there. He knows that. Just, you know, they're pretending to want them there. But just keep you and your wife back in California. Okay? All right, good.

Take care. And they were whining that Frogmore was the only place that they met their security needs. I'm guessing Buckingham Palace kind of meets their security needs, you know, the needs that they have with their children and everything surrounding Harry and Megan

these days. But good luck. Good luck, God bless. It'll be interesting. It's going to be interesting to see if Harry and or Megan and the kids show up for dad to become king.

It will be interesting to see. And Chris Rock even went after them a little bit on a special this past weekend, you know, talking about them being the victim and how everybody, I can't believe they wanted to know how dark the baby was going to be. If the baby was going to be black, how dark the baby was going to be. They're the royal family. They're like the top of the racist chart. Really funny.

And he also talked about how wanting to know how dark the baby is. It was going to be isn't racist. It's a real thing. Everybody checks behind the ear and wants to know how dark your baby is going to be. And then he gave some examples of the difference in skin tone and, you know, what it means. Anyway, just really funny. And I keep going back. Chris, I enjoyed the Chris Rock special on Netflix.

Pretty funny. He took off and beat up on everyone, which is what I like. How about those e-bikes? How about those e-bikes? So now we find out that the surge in popularity from everyone wanting to have an e-bike, there's a little bit of a side effect. Yeah, the batteries tend to explode and start fires.

We just had a big e-bike battery fire in New York that burned a grocery store down injured 7. According to this, the fires that have started by the lithium-ion batteries in electric bikes and scooters have caused 30 fires, 40 injuries to death in New York City this year, this year. Last year they ignited 216 fires, double the amount of the year before, resulting in 147 injuries and 6th deaths. Lithium ion batteries were the fourth leading cause of fire deaths in NYC last. year. The number of blazes have been rising.

Because, you know, people, there's been a number of people, I don't know, purchasing the e-bikes that have sold. The U.S. imported over one million last year. Wow. So, I mean, the last few years, we've brought in quite a bit of quite a bit of e-bikes. Now, that's according to the Light Electric Vehicle Association. And man, do I love that. The light electric vehicle association. So 880,000 in 2021, 450,000 of 2020, and as I said, over a million last year in 2022.

So there's quite a few lithium ion e-bike batteries out there causing fires. Wow. Okay. Now they claim in the story, hey, these batteries are safe. Unless, well, unless they're faulty or damaged. Well, duh. No kidding.

So, and they're expensive. And there's 300 bucks a pop for these batteries. Maybe that's why people are buying some secondhand alternatives? Yeah, maybe. So, according to this, it's unlikely for the e-bike to combust mid-ride. Uh-huh. They become a hazard while in storage or when left unattended on a charger where they overheat. Lithium ion battery fires can engulf.

golfer room in about 15 seconds. The toxic gases they released make them especially difficult to put out. So of course, the government has to get involved, and we've approved several bills with the new safety and certification standards for micromobility vehicles, launch educational campaigns on safe usage, and restrict the use and sale of secondhand batteries. It's the city's alternative to an outright ban, which London, in enacted for e-scooters in 2021 after it faced its own battery fire problem. Then we're told that the lithium ion batteries are having fires on planes more than once a week now. I don't know if you saw the video of the Spirit Airlines flight from Dallas to Orlando that they diverted to Jacksonville because the lithium battery in a personal device caught fire in the overhead bin.

and that's a little scary on an airplane, I will say, when you have smoke coming out of the overhead bin. Seems to make you a little jumpy on the old airplane. I landed safely. And apparently 10 crew members and passengers were hospitalized as a precaution. Yeah, if you're on a plane where the overhead starts burning and smoke starts coming out, sir, are you okay?

I don't know. Maybe for a precaution. Maybe I need to go to the hospital. Yeah, no kidding. We need to get that checked out. I don't want to ever say I was fine because if they start passing out some cash, I was coughing too.

But you don't want to smoke-filled cabin? This is amazing. So lithium ion batteries. Keep your eye out for them. And I know that we've got plenty of personal devices powered by the old lithium ion batteries. And so, according to the FAA, these incidents have, you know, sharply risen over the last few years. Yeah, no kidding.

And they claim, you know, I was a little frightening. Yeah. No kidding. The whole cabin is filled with smoke coming out of the overhead bin. Yeah, it would be a little scary. And for sure, remember if that happens to you, it'd probably fine. You know, there's plenty of airports for the plane to land, and it's a lithium ion battery, you know,

burning up the overhead bin, you'll be fine. But, oh, I don't know. I don't know if I'm going to, I may need to, you know, I mean to go to the hospital as a precaution. Just be careful out there. I mean, we've got, we've got Tesla cars burning up parking garages. They're telling them not to park under the, under, in parking garage. under buildings because they can't put the fires out.

So, yeah, this electric thing is going to be great, isn't it? Yeah, let's get rid of those coal-fired plants. Man, do I hate those. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Well, it is that time of the year again, isn't it, where everyone's talking about making big changes at springtime, and everything is

coming up roses, which is well and good, but most of the time everything doesn't come up roses, does it? No, I've actually found that the smallest changes to your routine

So there's a Rasmussen poll that shows 61% of all voters, including a stunning 57% of Democrats, believe that federal agents played a role in inciting the capital riot of January 6, 2021, the day democracy almost died. I would like to take that poll maybe today after Tucker Carlson aired his footage from January 6th and showed that the shaman was let around.

you know, and he wasn't, you know, didn't try to take over the government like was portrayed. Although, you know, I know he, a lot of these people, you know, there we see that they just wanted to get out of jail. They pled guilty and they wanted to do their time, get out. So it was over with so that the federal government would just leave them alone. So the argument of, yeah, but he pled guilty. I know. I know that works because he did. and he went to jail for almost four years.

He's in jail now for almost four years. And I don't know how much time he spent in jail prior to the actual sentencing and pleading guilty. You know, they just wore you down until you pled guilty. So, you know, you went to jail just to end it all. So it would be interesting to see this poll today and see, you know, how many more voters think that federal agents played a role in citing the Capitol riots of January 6, 2021. the day democracy almost died because I feel like that number will be a lot higher. And isn't it interesting that in May, right?

In May, that's when the government, the United States will be ending its COVID-19 emergency declaration. Yeah, May 11th, which will allow foreign air travelers to enter the country without being vaccinated. Isn't that interesting? Isn't it also interesting that New York court workers must be rehired and given back pay with interest if they were fired

because they refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine? Huh. That's the state's Public Employment Relations Board has ruled that. Under the terms of the decision issued last month, the unified court system must immediately cease and desist from enforcing policies that require all non-judicial

employees to be vaccinated or undergo regular testing. Huh. Isn't it interesting that the longest time spent as the number one player in tennis, Novak Djokovic, he just passed Steffi Graf with a 300 and 78 weeks as the top dog. Isn't it interesting that they won't allow him into the country, to play in two opens, one in Southern California, and one in Miami, Florida. And they won't allow him into the country

because he is not vaccinated. What are we doing? Well, I mean, that is just unbelievable to me. But hey, sorry about it. You're just going to have to wait until May, I guess, and then you can come back into the year. US and play your tennis. This is silly.

Hey, just a heads up to I see where Toblerone, the Swiss chocolate, you know, the chocolate from Switzerland, they're going to have to remove the old Maddohorn Mountain Peak from its packaging. I know! That's what they're known for.

So, I guess it mirrors the Alpine Peak and it has to undergo a labeling revamp, and it's going to include the founder's signature, according to the U.S. firm Mondes said the image of the 14,692 foot mountain will be

replaced by a more generic summit. According to Swiss rules, if you have, apparently according to this, Switzerland has strict rules that they apply about Swissness.

So the state of national symbols are not allowed to be used to promote milk-based products that are not made exclusively in Switzerland. For other raw food stuff, the threshold is at least 80%. So they're moving the production outside the country to respond to increased demand worldwide

and to hope to grow our own brand in the future. And so we're going to have to change everything. Sorry about it. The mountain-shaped chocolate made from Swiss milk with honey and almond nugget. First on sale of 1908 in Bern. and so now it wasn't until

1970 that the Matherhorn's jagged silhouette debuted on its packaging and with the Bernese Bear and Eagle featuring before then. So remember not long ago, they tried to change the design of the chocolate bar to space out

to get rid of the distinctive triangular chunks. Nope, people were pissed. If you want us to like your toe of the road, you keep it in the triangle shape. So now they're going to it in the triangle shape but they've got to lose their uh got to lose the mountain peak does that matter i don't know does the swissness of the package does that mean something well it does to the swiss

and just as a side note and not really a side note for the 475 jobs that it's costing but i see where serious xm is cutting 8% of its workforce wow uh serious exam is cutting their job workforce 475 jobs. So, I mean, that's good luck. God bless. If you're looking for some new shows, serious, you know, you can call me. We can talk. Email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com.

We'd love to talk, business. So yesterday, four Americans, were kidnapped in Mexico.

And I guess last week, the group drove into Mexico, just stayed directly south of Texas, to reportedly buy medicine. Now, we found out today that it really wasn't to buy medicine. She was getting, one of them was getting some sort of plastic surgery. We don't know what, you know, where do you go? You go to Mexico for what? A butt lift?

Maybe breast implants? Don't know. but she was going there for some medical procedure. They were caught in a shootout before the gunman reportedly hurted them into another car and fled the scene. One Mexican citizen died during the attack. The State Department currently has a travel warning for this area. Now the FBI is offering $50,000 for Americans return and arrest of the gunmen. Mexican and U.S. officials said they hoped to find the Americans soon.

I guess our president has been briefed on the situation. Hopefully he knows. about it well we do know that they have been found two of the kidnappers have been found dead and the other two are still alive they claim that there has been an arrest made now remember it was reported and it doesn't matter why they you know cross the border look they're americans and this should not happen to americans period and will anything come of it I don't know the answer to that. It's ridiculous.

I don't care why she crossed the border. She traveled from South Carolina to Mexico, according to her mother, for a cosmetic medical procedure. So, good for her. You know, it was probably cheaper. Probably got a good deal. Took some friends with her. Let's go down to Mexico. Get me a butt lift, some breast implants, tighten up the old face a little bit.

It'll be good to go. and it didn't work out that way. So hopefully the arrest will lead to more arrests because it sounds like this was more than one person in the shootout and more than one person who took these citizens hostage. So hopefully something will happen from it. But the two of the four are still alive. One of the two is injured and two of them are not alive.

It did not say who survived and who did not. They did identify the four Americans Zendell Brown, Eric James Williams, and cousins Latavia, Taye McGee, and Cheyde Woodward. And so that's what we know so far. That's probably all we're going to get. And it happened again?

Two airplanes clipped each other. Okay. At Newark, New Jersey, they made contact with the United plane. We're just backing up. Oh, hey. Sorry about that. Didn't mean to back India.

Okay. What is happening? Something has gone. It happens way too much. Now, everyone's fine. And, you know, the wings banged into each other. One wing hit the tail wing of another plane. And, of course, then you got to wheel it back in.

And everybody's got to get off. And they said, it's fine. No problem. Everybody's fine. And we've got our passengers deplained and hooking them up. with other planes and getting them to their destination. Still, though, what is happening? So we got, you know, these close calls at the airport,

and if they're actually dinging each other, more than a close call, but something. I don't know what has to be done, but something has to be done. I know the Delta pilots, just know that they didn't say that it was Delta at Newark. So, but the Delta pilots just voted on a new four-year contract, that will provide 34% raises. United and Southwest are still negotiating new contracts with pilot unions.

And negotiations, of course, are, you know, pilots want higher pay, better working conditions, blah, blah, blah. That's what everybody wants. But I see where the airline passengers who have long felt squished and cramped, I am one of those, have been told by a U.S. appeals court, tough. Don't care about you, fat boy. The FAA does not have to adopt minimum requirements for seat spies and spacing.

According to a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the advocacy group Flyers Rightsorg had no right to force the FAA to adopt seating rules because it was not clear and indisputable that tight seating, while uncomfortable, was, also dangerous. So in 2018, the Congress said the FAA one year to establish minimum seating dimensions, including pitch,

the distance between setbacks that were necessary for passenger safety. No such rules yet exist. Though airlines must be able to evacuate passengers within 90 seconds in emergencies, airline margins could suffer if carriers were forced to reconfigure planes.

Yeah, we don't want to mess with the airlines' margins. do we? I'm sure. I'm sure the guy Francisco Sever Torres, who was charged with interference with a flight crew using a dangerous weapon. I tried to stab a flight attendant. He was flying from L.A. to Boston on Sunday when he was fiddling with an emergency exit door. Confronted by the flight attendant, he attempted to attack them with a broken spoon, but was restrained by crew and other passengers. nice so he was trying to open the airplane door does that have anything to do with the tight fit of the seats i mean i would like to believe that it does so let's make the seats uh more compatible to fat guy seating

please but probably not he's probably you know has some sort of other underlying mental issues and it proves that no one can uh hijack a plane anymore and i've said that since 9-11 uh I said, you know, they were, that they was restrained by crew and other passengers. Passengers won't let that crap happen anymore. Sit down. We're going to take you. We'll tackle you. We'll tighten you down.

This will not happen on a plane. That is really good news for flying. The other bad news is you're squeezed in there like sardines. So be it they don't care about that. And as long as we're talking about airlines, I see where the Department of Justice has sued to block a merger. which we had thought was going to happen between JetBlue Airwaves and Spirit Airlines.

They contend that the deal would lead to higher fares and fewer choices for passengers. The department's attempt to block the $3.8 billion deal, which would create the nation's fifth largest carrier, argues the merger would hinder spirit's current ability to create lower fares in markets served by larger airlines. It also claims that JetBlue's

would harm passengers who rely on Spirit's low-priced tickets and would also affect those who benefit from the more competitive prices on other carriers. So, there you have it. The Department of Justice wants to block the merger between JetBlue and Spirit. And while this is a tough one for me because I don't want the Department of Justice involved, but what are you going to do? Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what?

So we're making a big deal of Jack in the Box coming to Florida. So they've been looking to open franchises in Florida and throughout the Tampa Bay area. The company said it's signed 14 new restaurant commitments that will bring the fast food chain to Florida and Arkansas. So it's the first time the brand has entered the Arkansas market in over 30 years and over 30 years. The first time it's been in Arkansas over 30 years since it's been in Florida. I didn't mention a timeline or where the restaurants were going to be located at, but I'm sure you're going to have it in Orlando, Tampa, and Miami, and Jacksonville. There you go.

Maybe Tallahassee. You put one in Ocala for the University of Florida. Maybe you go there. So there's, you know, you're looking at Tallahassee, Ocala, Jacksonville, Orlando. Miami, Tampa. There's six. And you put the others in the surrounding St. Petersburg Clearwater area and the surrounding Orlando and greater Miami area. There you go.

Done. You're welcome, Jack in the Box. It opened in San Diego in 1951 and has more than 2,200 locations in the U.S. That's doing pretty good. I was doing pretty good I cannot remember the last time I ate at a jack in the box

I just can't it's really weird we have jack in boxes here jack in boxes we have jack in the boxes here I just I don't think about going there and I don't necessarily think I would dislike their stuff

I just haven't gone there really really strange but you can go to if you want a franchise Jack in the Box in Florida, just go to the old Jack on the Box franchising.com. I'm not promoting them. I'm not saying it's a good deal or a bad deal. I'm just saying it's there for you to do.

Okay? All right. I don't know if they serve anything clam-driven at Jack-on-the-box. I doubt it, but I see where a Florida man and his family found a gigantic clam which made got me thinking about

well maybe Jack in the Box and sells clams. Anyway, so this guy, Blaine Parker, goes out to Alligator Point, Florida. And that's, you know, it's up in the panhandle. It's south of Tallahasse. You know where Tallahassee is?

That's where that new Jack in the Box is. That's where Tallahassee is. You just drive south to the Gulf of Mexico and that's pretty much Alligator Point. And so that's where this guy was. And it was over a president. day weekend and he thought he found this big old clam that was good for two servings of chowder.

We were just going to eat it. But we thought about it for a while and we figured, you know, it's probably pretty special. It's a pretty big clam. So we didn't want to kill it. Yeah, of course. So he's a member of a volunteer group called AmeriCorps. I wonder why he didn't want to kill the clam. And so he brought the clam to the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab in Panthers.

I see a Florida, which he's also a specimen collector for the lab. So there's no way that he was going to eat this giant clam. I'm sorry, Blaine. You can kid yourself, but you got this big clam, and there's no way you were going to eat it. So the lab realized Parker's find was a six-inch, 2.6 pound clam, and they estimated it at more than 214 years old. So realizing how old it was, of course, Blaine, names it, uh, Aberclam Lincoln.

Get it? You know, Aberclam Lincoln. It was President's Day weekend and it was more than 200 years old. So it's, uh, Abrac, clam, Lincoln, get it? So apparently you can calculate the age of a clam by the number of layers on the shell. Each layer, according to blood. Blaine counts for a year. So Blaine counted 214 layers on the old Aberclam-Lincoln shell, meaning it was born in 1809,

the same year as Abraham Lincoln. That's where he came up with calling it Abraclam Lincoln. Get it? Okay, so I did not know that about clams. So anyway, the lab added that most ocean quag clams way around half a pound. This makes Aber Clam Lincoln five times the weight of an average clam. Now, back in 2006, scientists found a 507-year-old clam that they nicknamed Ming. I wonder where that came from.

Oh, yeah. They estimated it was alive alive in 1499. You know, during the Ming Dynasty. in China. So they named it Ming. Man, they are some creative people at those Marine labs. No doubt about it.

So anyway, it's report so they make a big deal out of a grade. And he's got Abraham, Clam, Lincoln. It's cute, whatever. And he didn't eat it. And then we find out that he put Abrac, Clam, Lincoln, back out into the Gulf of Mexico.

He released him. What are we doing? Are you kidding? me? They didn't donate it to a marine zoo. They didn't keep it at the at the marine lab in Panacea of Florida.

Nothing. They didn't, and they just put them back in the ocean. Okay. I want to see someone cooking that bad boy up. Just because of that. You posted on social media. Tell us how good these clams are that we caught on alligator point.

I want to see the tag you know, fresh clams caught and cooked. The biggest one tasted a little dry and old, but still good. Yum, yum, yum. And we could have people on the post say, hey, that looks a lot like Abraham,

Aberclam Lincoln. That couldn't have been Abraclam Lincoln, could it? Oh my gosh, you ate Abraham, clam Lincoln? Yep, sure did. Wish Blaine hadn't a thrown it back into the Gulf. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.

You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack. But she's never told her side of the story until now. People assume that I'm like this pervert. My name is Natalie Robamed and in my new podcast I talked to Allison to try to understand how she went from TV actor to cult member.

Allison After Nexium from CBC's Uncover is available now on Spotify.
