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. Workers at a poultry farm in Weld County, that's in Colorado, had been in the process of killing 1.8 million.

million chickens. Now, apparently that takes some time. Some of which were infected with the H5N1 influenza, bird flu, to prevent it from spreading. So if some get it and you have 1.8 million chickens, they've all got to die. We've covered that before. That's a lot of chickens to be killing. And I think there were only four workers at this farm. There's more that have not been confirmed, but they are now confirmed having bird flu. The way they report this, you know, there's eight or nine confirmed. The reporting is kind of strange because some may or may not have bird flu. It's really kind of weird. So anyway, I guess there are goggles or the N95 face masks apparently slipped as industrial fans, blue feathers, and other infected

items through the sweltering barn. It was so hot there in Colorado. And that That's what gave them the virus. That's what Dr. Shaw, the principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. The workers all suffered from a combination of fever, chills, coughing. Not sure if it was that cough or not. Eye infections. And they were given Tamiflu, none required hospitalization. So if you're in Colorado and you run across anyone that sounds like that, just back off a little bit.

Now, I will say, as far as I know, there has been no human-to-human transference of the bird flu. That's what they claim. So far, the bird flu has been spreading since, I don't know, 2020. And it's all among mammals, dogs, cats, skunks, bears, even seals and portals. Corpus. Wow. And now we have the livestock here in the U.S. being infected with bird flu, but we're pretty sure that the birds to cows and then apparently back to chickens, as well as people from that, but we don't think for so far that people are giving it to people. So just be just a heads up. If you're involved,

in the killing process of chickens at any chicken farm anywhere in America or your cleaning cows, I would think twice before I would do it without goggles and a face mask. Because you never know if you're going to end up with eye infections, fever, chills, or welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. If you follow me on X at Jeffey JFR, you know this already because I said I would post it on my ex account. And I believe I posted it on Jeff Fisher Radio, my Facebook page, and Jeff Fisher Radio, my Instagram page. But the bones of the 161 million-year-old dinosaur that went up for auction yesterday, Apex, the Stegosaurus, that was 11 feet tall, approximately 27,

feet long from tip to his tail, from the tip of his tail to his nose. I mean, I would love to have this stupid thing. And they claimed that, oh, it's probably a four to six million dollars. And I told you no way. It's probably going to, four to six million is going to be chump change, I believe, was the quote. The exact sale price was $44.6 million. I remember I told you yesterday that we had the T-Rex stand that sold in 2020 for 31.8 million, which meant that this was going to go for so much more. And it did. Now T-Rex, Sue, obviously, Chicago Field Museum bought that way back in 97 for $8.4 million.

And in 97, that sounded like, you know, the 46. or the 44.6 million that it sold for today. But congratulations to whoever got the Apex Dinosaur because that is something really, really cool. They have not released who bought it. But, man, that is really cool. So congratulations. I wish I had $45 million laying around.

I mean, even if you won the lotto, that's a big jackpot. I mean, $45 million is a lot of money. I mean, we're looking at, what, the mega-millions drawing is tomorrow night, I believe, the 19th of July, $2024 for $251 million for the jackpot. So you're getting $118.7 million. You're not going to waste half of that after taxes on the apex dinosaur. And then the powerball is Saturday, and that's $91 million jackpot.

with $43.7 million a cash payout. So after taxes, that's not even what this person paid for the Stegosaurus Apex Dinosaur Bones. And so you're not even, I mean, it's going to change your life and your family's life and a lot, you know, probably generations of lives. But it isn't enough to buy the Apex Stegasaurus. So congratulations to whoever owns the Apex Stegasaurus because I'm a little jail. Speaking of old bones and old humans, apparently now they believe that humans reached Argentina 20,000 years ago, and they may have survived by eating giant armadillos. They believe that these ancient humans may have butchered and eaten giant armadillo like creatures

some 20,000 years ago. This is what some new study has found. They discovered the butchered bones, which supports this evidence that people spread throughout the Americas much earlier than previously assumed. Okay. The humans, they believe,

were butchering these G-L-Y-P-T-O-D-O-N-T. And I would call that glipodont, but I'm not sure if that's right. Lipidon. Yeah, the G is silent. I guess my girl has the day off, too. So it's not gliptodont. It's lipidon.

Yeah, Liptodon. That's what it's. Liptodon. So they believe that these are giant armadillos and that humans were eating them. I'm glad that we've evolved. I don't know where in the time from. frame after they started eating these Lipidonts, the giant armadillos, they decided, you know, we should probably try something else because these really aren't that good. Anyway, there's a new study in the journal PLOS 1. Man, do I love that journal.

These researchers revealed that they found cut marks on the fossil remains of the Leviton, which is the giant extinct armadillo. And these marked bones found in the Pampian region of Argentina, maybe among the earliest examples of humans interacting with megafauna in South America. The incomplete animal skeleton found along the banks of the Arunquista River on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, included parts of the pelvis, the tail, as well as a portion of the carabase bony plates that cover the top of the animal's body. and they carbon-dated the fragment of the pelvic bone to 21,090 to 20,811 years ago. And whenever I hear this carbon-dated research, I always think, did they, do they, is it? Because the people over at ICR knew, they believe this carbon dating is incorrect.

And I'm just fascinated by this. So anyway, they determined the cut marks that had to have been made by humans because some of the marks had a V-shaped cross-section and they, or they believe that that comes from tools. And they also ruled out other potential causes of the marks, including other animals and natural weathering of the bone after the death of the animal. So, and the location of the cut marks, etc.

So they believe that the people targeted these lipidants because of their size. Duh, yeah, that's a lot of meat. We're hungry. We're going to go ahead and figure out a way to kill it so we can eat until we realize, hey, why don't we just kill that animal over there? Because probably that animal over there tastes a lot better. So, you know, that's what they found.

And it's, you know, these people, I guess, these humans, they claim migrated to Argentina from the Land Bridge, connecting Siberia with Alaska. I mean, this is what they believe, 13,000 years ago, but now this is, we're talking about 26 or 20,000 years ago, right?

So some timeframes have to be adjusted. Oh, and believe me, I'm sure in the upcoming journals, PLOS 1, those timelines will be adjusted. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts, so you don't have to.

They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush.

Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals, we get the deals. You gift the good stuff. Those of you that witnessed the meteor streaking across the sky in NYC, the other day, relaxed. Don't worry, it's fine. It was just a fireball meteor. It soared over the Statue of Liberty, went west into New Jersey. It's fine.

The fireball meteor is another term for a very bright meteor. And Tuesday's light show was a daylight fireball. and everything's fine. And so NASA said, well, yeah, you know, we're going off eyewitness accounts, said the NASA Meteor Watch initially reported the fireball was first sighted 49 miles above the Upper Bay of New York Harbor, traveling about 34,000 miles per hour, and then it passed the Statue of Liberty before it disintegrated above Midtown Manhattan,

just 20 miles above the New Yorkers' heads. Now, many people in New York, I'm sure, heard it. Like Pat Battle, the anchor of a local local... NBC news broadcast because she said, yeah, I heard it, but I didn't even think to look up. That's the joke. When you, I mean, I spent a lot of time in New York and Manhattan specifically, and you don't look up. That's how you tell a tourist.

When people are walking down the street and they're looking up, that's the tourist. Because you've got to get places when you're in the city. And, yeah, the buildings are there. We know they're there. I work on, you know, the 40th floor. and I'll look down on you when I get up to the 4th floor but right now I don't have time to look up

I got to get where I'm going so there was there noise in the sky yeah and I got places to go I'm not looking up plus we didn't see it coming NASA said no hey no we do not track meteors this small far from Earth

only time we know about them is when they hit the atmosphere and generate a meteor or a Fireball. And that's, I mean, we learned about that during the, during Armageddon, the documentary Armageddon, when the president asked NASA, we, you didn't see this coming? And he was told from NASA that they didn't have the budget and it's a big ass guy. I mean, we learned that a long time ago.

And for sure, NASA, we saw yesterday, we talked about the new deal that we signed, I'm sorry, our agreement titled Framework Agreement Between the Government, the United States of America and the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on cooperation in aeronautics and the exploration and use of airspace and outer space of peaceful purposes. That particular agreement, that was the title of the agreement. We learned of that.

Well, we also learned now that they have canceled their $450 million dollar Viper Moon Rover, but they still claim it was a success. Okay, good for you. The decision to axe the Viper mission is expected to save the agency

$84 million in development. cost, but we've already spent $450 million on this thing. So, hey, don't worry about it. Look, we're saving you some money, and it was a success. So we got other things to worry about. You know, like the Starliner stuck at the ISS, I mean, it's up at the ISS, and it's not stuck, and we're just not going to bring it home right now. Yeah, we've got that to worry about.

Okay, we knew it was going to happen, and it finally has, and I'm going to do it. this story and it's very difficult for me to do it without the gunshots and the gun cocking okay because we did put them to rest earlier in the week but I feel like I need to bring it back because we're still part of

the trial in the movie but I want to try to get through this without the gunshots okay so the rust armor Hannah Gutierrez Reid is now officially asking the judge to overturn her conviction alleging that she was subject to the same sort of prosecutorial misconduct that torpedoed the Alec Baldwin trial. She was convicted in March of manslaughter and the death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins. And so her attorney said that he's received substantial evidence that should have

been disclosed before trial. So it's probably going to happen. Holy cow. That special prosecutor, Carrie Morrissey should be removed. Yeah, no doubt. I'm surprised she even still has a gig in New Mexico. No, I don't even, I mean, people were quitting around her and she is holding on for dear life. They wanted to get these people so bad that they just withheld evidence. Ridiculous. So be on the lookout for Hannah Guterres Reid to have her conviction overturned because she's

going to use the same prosecutorial misconduct that torpedoed Alec Baldwin. My gosh, I'm going to have to bring that gunshot back. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So the 76th annual Primetime Emmy Award nominations were announced with a Netflix topping all networks with 107, followed by FX best showing ever with 93. HBO dropped to third for the first time since 1996. I mean, that's because they lost Succession.

Although they added a couple of shows that should have bumped him up, but, you know, whatever. I mean, Succession won best drama the last three or four years. The eligible programs had to air between June 1st, 2020, and May 31st of this year in all categories. So they had the big nominally. examination extravagance and the winners will be revealed September 15th on ABC. Exactly eight months after the 75th primetime Emmys were presented on Fox because those were postponed by last year's writers and actor strikes. So they'll all be there partying because they're all working.

Cooked up 23 mentions, setting a record for the most nominations by a comedy series in one year. We have talked about this, but I find that hard to believe that it's a comedy. But okay.

I mean, they're probably going to give it to the bear. But Hax was really good. She deserves something for that. And so was Only Murders in the building. That was really good, except that they had what's her face in it. You know, Merrill Streep, which, you know, I just, whatever. And I think she's going to be in this next season as well. I mean, they said they were going to get a new season right away. Season four was released right after the end of season three. And they're going to release in August. I think you get the

first couple of episodes and then they're going to give you weekly drops after that.

Naomi Pomeroy, top chef masters star, and a James Beard winner dead at the age of 49. Very sad. Her stardom flourished during her time on Bravo's top chef masters. She was a self-taught chef. She drowned in her. a tubing accident in Corvallis, Oregon. Very, very, very...

I don't want to drown. I do not want to drown, man. Apparently, she and her husband were tubing down the Willamette River with a friend over the weekend when they were thrown from their floats into the water after an inner tube hit a partially submerged branch. Webster and the friend survived by swimming. to the shore and rescuers initially located Pomeroy's body underwater, but were unable to retrieve it due to rapid currents. So they were still searching as this week continued. They may have found her,

they may have got her already, but as of yesterday, they hadn't found her. Very, very sad. I do not want to drown. Let's just be clear about that. You can quote me on that. I don't like it. I don't want do it. Sam, I am. So rest in peace. Naomi Pomeroy. dead at the age of 49. I mean, I think I've talked about it before, but I think the best drowning scene that I've really ever seen is from Kurt Russell in the Poseidon in 2006. He, I don't like to break it to you, but he drowns in the movie.

I know. I know. If you haven't made it all through all the way through the movie yet, there is a point where he, where he dies. And the drowning scene. that he has in that movie is fantastic. I mean, it's really, really believable. And it also makes me stick to my guns as I do not want to drown.

And then we have guests that were found dead at a luxury Thai hotel that apparently were poisoned by cyanide. Man, it makes you want to go to Thailand, doesn't it? Now, the authorities say that poison was found in the blood of the six people. including two U.S. citizens who were found dead inside a suite at Bangkok's five-star Grand Hyatt Irwin. Police say cyanide was detectable in a teapot and coffee cups that they all drank from. Missed a dispute involving bad investments. Law enforcement is now trying to determine whether the deaths were murder or suicide. So, I mean, if it was suicide, then I guess you could still go to Thailand.

If it was murder, ooh, be careful. I mean, that could be the title of, you know, my latest book, Murder in Thailand. Congratulations, I guess, are in order to United Airlines. They claim that they have year-to-year risen in profits, 23% for quarter two. They say, oh, that's due to demand for international travel. Okay, well, I guess, well, two less people are flying to Thailand right now. Oh, too soon? Okay, sorry.

Did you see, speaking of United Airlines, a couple of great stories about United Airlines. One pretty good and one not so good. Which one you want first? Okay, the one not so good. Terrell Davis. Terrell Davis, Denver Broncos NFL legend, Hall of Famer. He was flying from Denver to Orange County this past weekend. He explained the circumstances that led to his.

removal from the flight in a lengthy post on social media. That's what I saw. Okay. And then I saw his interview on Good Morning America. He described the flight as ordinary until beverage service began. The former NFL player said he was reading a magazine. His two sons seated in the front row in the row with him were preoccupied with their tablets.

They were busy playing with the iPad. So they didn't respond. So apparently the Sky Waitress. asked them if they wanted something to drink, and they didn't respond. And then he was like, then she became more aggressive. And I was like, man, that was kind of rude for him to ask my kids like that. But so they got startled. They ordered their drinks.

And I remember this. He pushed the drinks onto the tray with force, kind of slammed it down. They say thank you. He doesn't say anything. Davis said he received the same treatment when he got his drink. And I'm thinking, what is going on with this guy? So anyway, Davis says the flight attendant, I'll call him the Sky Waitress, moved forward, you know, down the aisle, and his son politely asked for a cup of ice, which Davis says, hey, I don't believe the man heard him. So I tapped, I reached behind me and I tapped the man's arm.

And the accusation from the flight attendant, don't hit me. Stop hitting me. Passengers were like, dude, he didn't hit you. just tapped you on the arm. So they hauled him off the plane when they landed handcuffed. I mean, he said, I felt demoralized, embarrassed, humiliated, felt like my dignity was stripped from me

right in front of my children and my family. I want United to be held accountable. And I don't blame him for that. Now, when they took him off the flight, they investigated the whole thing and they decided, oh, you know what? we are not going to press charges. We're going to let this go.

And by the way, the flight attendant overreacted and it was a harmless interaction. And so we're just going to pretend like it never happened. But it did happen. I mean, wow. What is happening? happening. Then this is what we get in today's world, right? The flight attendants are always right, except, oh, when they're not. Then we had the flight, a united flight operating by a Boeing,

maybe this is it, maybe it's just because it was a Boeing, uh, from Miami to Newark. And it, uh, and it diverted to Orlando because of an aggressive passenger. And they originally said it bit a sky waitress. I'm sorry, a flight attendant, but then threatened other passengers. Well, that's for sure. there's about a minute 40 post on X that shows some of the interactions going on on the plane. It is awesome. This chick is so out of her mind. And it looks like she bit the flight attendant,

but she didn't break any skin. So he's safe. He's not going to turn into a zombie. It looks like she bit his little, you know, they have the little shoulder thing. What do they call those things? Epilitz or whatever, e-paws or whatever they call the little shoulder.

strap button. It looks like she bit that and ripped that off. So I don't think she broke any skin from him. But she was out of her mind. And then she was telling people to stop filming. And then they handcuffed her. And why are you handcuffing me? And don't look at me.

And I will kill you. Go back to Russia. Amazing. So they do have to deal with, you know, actual crazy people, which I do not believe Torell Davis was or would be on an airline with his kids. But the thing that really ticked me up about the whole thing is at the end of the video in Orlando, you hear the lady at the United Station go,

and this flight is not going to be going on because the crew is not going on because of the situation that happened. What? I'm already pissed that you went ahead and diverted to Orlando instead of just tying her down and continuing on to New Jersey. But let's get her off the plane then, and then let's back this thing out and get me to New Jersey. But no, you guys had, we had to deal with. There was an angry, an angry passenger. We had to actually work. He lost his little shoulder strap, so we're not going to fly anymore today. You people, tough. You can wait in Orlando, okay? I mean, I was a little ticked about that. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything.

For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details. We're getting closer and closer to the Olympics. And I'm looking forward to some of the games. One of the things that I am looking forward to is to see if the sane river is going to have poop floating in it. That's just me.

I know. I know it's mean. But, you know, people were talking about pooping in the river. And sometimes that river has, you know, high E. coli levels. And the Parisians are pissed anyway, and they've been pooping in the river. So yesterday, the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidna. I think that's H-I-D-A-L-G-O. She went swimming in the river to prove how clean it was.

So it was meant to show that the Olympic marathon swimmers and the Olympic and Paralympic triathletes are fine for swimming in this river. Okay, sure. I mean, they, look, it's been illegal since, I guess, I don't know, the 1920s to dump trash and sewage into the waters. Uh-huh. But after, then they had a big billion.

cleanup of the river and they spent a bunch of money to get people who live along the river to link to the official sewage system and not just run it into the river so we'll see then they also spent a bunch of money on an overflow basin that would hold the rainwater overflow uh-huh but that could still contaminate the water so they believe that there's this is we're good to go and there's no backup venue for the triathlons. So if they... I can't wait for the triathletes to have to jump in the scene. And, oh, man, full of poop.

I would be wearing a full body suit. If I were a triathlet in the Olympics, just be, you know, it's just me. And they're probably not going to because they don't. But, man, it would be terrible. It would be terrible. Let me repeat, it would be terrible. to see the triathletes get out of the river as they're swimming with poop all over them.

Just it would be terrible. The headlines are already written. Poopery, not peri. Perry, peri or poopery? It's awesome. But, again, I do not want that to happen. No, it would not be funny at all. You know, in speaking to the Olympics,

I've let it go for a while, but really I'm still pissed that Caitlin Clark is not on the USA's women's basketball team. And it really kind of pisses me off. And I just saw a story from the coach, Cheryl Reeve, who, by the way, lost to the Indiana fever just this past weekend. And she gave all kinds of praise to Caitlin. And she wanted to be clear that she is grateful for everything Clark has done for the sport. it. And she said, I don't know. I quite understand the question and that everybody knows the reason why our teams around the league are having sellouts are because of Caitlin Clark. Yeah. And the league has been building for a watershed moment and we're here now. Yeah. Then why aren't you putting her on your Olympic basketball team, you doofus? Oh, she just, we had time to work together and just couldn't do that. I mean, yeah, the league and the country have. been looking for a watershed moment, but let's not use her in the eyes in front of the eyes of the world. It's the stupidest thing. I just, I don't understand it. And Caitlin is on fire. And we don't

have to get into all the records and we don't have to get into the hate. And is she, now they're talking about, well, maybe they'll, they could have co-ro rookie of the years because we can't have, we can't have Angel Reese not get an award. She's been getting double doubles and she's set a record too. Well, Caitlin has set multiple records, Angel, and she is not as much of a, of a, what's the word I want to use? No, I won't use that word. We'll just say that Caitlin is a little bit more humble than you, Angel. And I just, I'll stop now. I know, because nobody cares about the WNBA, except for me. And I barely care about the WNBA, but she's got her team, Caitlin Clark, has got her team, the Indian. and a fever in a prime

spot to get to the playoffs this year. So, but she's not good enough to be on the USA Olympic team. Stop it. And you want to cover your ass now, coach, because you realize what a dumb move it was. And now you want to say,

of course, she's a great thing. And it's a rottershed moment. And we've impacted the crowds. And of course, you know, Angel Reese has impacted the crowd too. But we need to capitalize. Well, you weren't thinking about that.

I don't know, what, a month or two ago whenever you picked the team because you were still jealous and decided to throw Caitlin to the curb. Well, you ought to rethink your whole plan. The whole thing should have been stopped from the very beginning. And it wasn't. And that's a big problem for the WNBA. All right, let's get out here. I'll give you the joke of the day.

And then we'll hit the bricks, okay? It was a dinosaur day And we We had the giant armadillos We had the apex dinosaur Stegosaurus Being sold for a record price So I might as well give you a dinosaur

Joke, right? Right Why should you never fight a dinosaur? I don't know Why should you never fight a dinosaur Because You'll get giraffe kicked Jurassic. Yeah, you get it.
