I don't think I'm as upset as maybe I should be,
Starting point is 00:00:40 but we are now officially losing the penny. Well, we're not losing the penny. We're losing the penny production. So the U.S. Treasury said they're going to discontinue penny production over the next month. Federal officials announced this following a directive from President Trump. So they will stop circulating one cent coins by early next year, and then, of course, the shortages will follow. There are, according to them, pennies cost, we've talked about this not too long ago, and this is maybe one of the reasons we're finally getting rid of it, pennies cost $3.7 cents to make. So we're losing $2.7 for every one cent that we're making.
Starting point is 00:01:25 That is not good. And President Trump knows that, and so does the U.S. treasury, but we continue to do it forever. Now we're not going to do it any longer. So we've lost about $85 million a year on coins. And that just, you know, goes away. That's just money lost in the ethers. So, okay, the penny goes away. And what do businesses do? Well, businesses are going to round up to the nearest five cents for cash transactions. Okay. So according to this, Canada did it back in 2012. That doesn't make it right. But Canada did it back in 2012. Rounding up, netted the average Canadian grocery store and estimated $157 extra a year. A whole $157 extra. So that's good news there.
Starting point is 00:02:13 And again, we're losing Abraham Lincoln again. Wow. So no more pennies. No more pennies. I'm not sure what that means to all the people that have water bottles, you know, the water jugs, you know, the water jugs full of pennies that they were saving for some, you know, vacation that has never been done because you've got to sit down and pour out the pennies and then roll them into the penny rollers. What happens to the penny rollers? Are we done with those? I don't have any way to cash them in. I don't know the answer to that question. There are currently, according to this, 114 billion pennies in circulation in the United States. Okay. I feel like there's more. I feel like there's more than that. But, you know, if you say there's 114 billion, you know what, then there's
Starting point is 00:03:00 114 billion. You got me. So Lincoln's face was first molded out of the coin in 1909 to commemorate the 16th president's 100th birthday. And so we're losing Lincoln all over again. I know. I know. So maybe I should have put this in, you know, who died today. But it's still not, it's not dead yet. It's just on life support. So rest and peace. soon to President Lincoln's face. Well, his face is always going to be on the penny. So the penny itself just goes away. But it doesn't really go away because we've still got them stashed in the water jug bottles.
Starting point is 00:03:41 And I guess those are collector's additions now. Good luck. Good luck. I hope we can get more than a penny's worth for them. And according to experts, it costs more to make the nickel. I mean, we lose more money. on the nickel than we have been losing on the penny. So we're going to be producing more nickels, which ends up probably costing us more money. Holy cow. Are we just going to get rid of all coins?
Starting point is 00:04:08 That's very, very possible. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. All right. If you're listening to this live, today is the 23rd of May, 2025. We're headed into the Memorial Day weekend. It's three-day weekend, so there will be no chewing the fat on Monday. I know. I know. Dry your eyes. But just a quick update from New Orleans. We have five inmates still on the run, five fugitives, still on the run. So keep your head up and your eyes open, man. Holy cow. Be on the lookout. And be sure to call all three forces, the FBI, the ATF, and crime stoppers to get the full $20,000 if you see one of these escapees. Now, they've just arrested a fourth person. and that person has been charged with helping the inmates who escaped from the jail last week.
Starting point is 00:05:04 This 59-year-old Connie Whedon is accused of sending cash via a cell phone app to one of the 10 inmates who broke out of the Orleans Justice Center. And also, we found out that she was in contact with this prisoner before the breakout and after the breakout. Huh. Weird. Okay, so we also... We also have someone else who was in charge. A maintenance worker has been charged. We talked about him already. He assisted with the jailbreak.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Two other people have been arrested on suspicion of assisting some of the inmates after they escaped. Huh. So don't do that. Don't do that. Like if they were to call you and you know them, you might say, I can't talk to you. you're a fugitive right now don't call me again click
Starting point is 00:06:00 and so that might be your answer and then you would call the authorities and say he contacted me and I told him leave me alone because if you don't tell the authorities they're going to assume that you tried to help
Starting point is 00:06:16 and that's when you get arrested so good luck good luck I hope we get these five fugitives arrested very very soon. I'm sure the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Department wants that to happen as well. And, you know, according to all reports, the FBI and the ATF are handling this as best as they can. So keep your head up and your eyes open, man, because five of them are still out there. And did this have anything to do with that damn Annabelle Dahl? I mean, we talked about this last week, about Annabelle
Starting point is 00:06:50 doll going to San Antonio. I don't know if anything bad happened in San Antonio because the doll was there, but we do know the doll was in New Orleans, and we had the plantation burn, we had the jail break, and we had some issues up in West Virginia where the doll was. They moved the freaking doll. They took the doll out of the box, the Annabelle Dow, and put it into another box. We're not supposed to do that. We're supposed to leave the doll in the box.
Starting point is 00:07:15 That's the way it's supposed to work. Now, according to this, I got an email from Jesse that said, I didn't mention it. Yes, I did, Jesse. I may have mentioned it more in depth on Saturday morning live, which is a show that I do with Brad Stags every Saturday, live. Hence the name, Saturday morning live.
Starting point is 00:07:33 It's at 9 a.m. Central. You can just watch it on my ex account at Jeffrey JFR. We did most definitely talk about it there. But apparently it's going to Gettysburg later this summer. I keep it in the box. I don't even know why we're moving this thing around. it says we know what kind of horrible things this doll can do we know i don't know if we can burn it i don't know what we can do but the best we can do is right now is to just keep the annabel doll in a box
Starting point is 00:08:01 i don't know in some safe in a dark room someplace with uh do not disturb sign on it is what we need to happen because uh bad things happen when that doll annabel is around and i don't recommend that process oh we could we could be We're fine. We can just let it out. We can look at it. We can take care of it. People don't know what's happening.
Starting point is 00:08:24 It's just a doll. It's just Annabel the doll. Okay. All right. Good luck. God bless. When bad things start happening, or good things, really,
Starting point is 00:08:33 you need to be in shape. And one of the ways that you can be in shape is to lose weight, which means you're going to feel better about yourself and get in better shape. It's kind of like the domino effect. Well, there's a product out there called Lean, L-E-A-N. And it was created by a, doctor and a university researcher to target the goals of the glp ones but without the injections so the study ingredients in lean have shown to lower blood sugar radically reduced appetite and burn fat by converting it

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.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Designer. Handpicked the finest sweater. from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup palettes from the brands you love. Rushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals. We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. So I see where Open AI is going to buy iPhone designers startup and they're going to pay like $6.5 billion. The chat GPT maker is signaling its intention to go big on hearty. with his biggest acquisition.
Starting point is 00:11:33 It's buying I-O, which is an AI device company helmed by the Apple design legend, Joni Ive. Is it Joni Ive? Joni-I-V-V-E. It's J-O-N-Y-I-E in this $6.5 billion deal. Now, IVE, who started the company alongside other ex-Apple designers, is going to take deep creative and design responsibilities across overall. Open AI and I.O.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Okay. Sam Altman has called this, well, he called IVE, the greatest designer in the world. Okay, well, that doesn't make the product great. Okay. So they claim that this device is going to, he plans to build 100 million AI companions. Um, so this. So this companion is capable of being fully aware of the user's surroundings and life. And a third core device, a person would put on a desk after, you know, your MacBook or your iPhone right next to it.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Open CEO, Sam Altman, we've poorly told employees that the product is the biggest thing we've ever done as a company. And I want this device to help wean people off screens. So I'm not quite sure what that's going to do. Does it mean that what I want to see pops up in the air? I don't know. I just want, all I want is a doo-bot. I want a robot that is cleaning my house and doing the things that I want. Little Dewey.
Starting point is 00:13:12 I want a little doobot. And that's all I don't know that I want a pocket-sized device that's going to wean me off a screens. Although, if I set it on my desk and I just talk to it, is it going to bring information up into the sky? We get back to my helmet wearing. So I just put the helmet on and that's the screen. I'm on it. I may be okay with that.
Starting point is 00:13:31 I'm not sure if the greatest designer in the world, J-O-N-Y-I-V-E, is going to come up with that. But, okay, that's fine. That's fine. Then I see a headline that talks about how we are capable of cloning now. Okay. Just to have scientists have confirmed that cloning a human is now technically possible. Thanks to breakthroughs and reproductive genetics and stem cells. manipulation. Whoa. Oh, okay. Do, is the clone going to be exactly like me?
Starting point is 00:14:05 Because we've seen documentaries where that doesn't end well for humans. I mean, I know it's a big Tom Cruise weekend with the final mission movie, but I remember Tom Cruise in a documentary called Oblivion, and the cloning from the space god did not work well for humans. Just saying. So we'll see if, I mean, when you go to... to Wikipedia, who is, of course, the source of all true and rightful things. They talk about how opponents of reproductive cloning have concerns that technology is not yet developed enough to be safe. Ha! Yeah! And the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and I love them.
Starting point is 00:14:46 They emphasize that reproductive cloning could be prone to abuse. Wait! What? So are we ready to be cloned? I don't know. but we're just going, look, there's going to be robots everywhere. I just watched a stupid movie called Extinction. It's on Netflix. If you haven't seen it, it's worth to watch.
Starting point is 00:15:06 It does not end the way you think it's going to end. So it starts out this man's life starts to suffer and he has these reoccurring nightmares and he must, you know, and he's having these nightmares. And then the earth is attacked by what you think is, this is just a spoiler, now because I'm fascinated by the movie
Starting point is 00:15:28 because it really didn't. The twist is a good twist. I like it. But I had not seen this movie. It's a 2018 film. It's on Netflix now. I don't know. I think they had a budget of like $20 million.
Starting point is 00:15:42 And so sometimes you can tell that there was a low budget sci-fi movie, but I mean, they did pretty good with the $20 million. Michael Pena is stars in it. And so I mean, I like him. He does a great job. And many of the kids and everything is, fine. And he does
Starting point is 00:15:58 a good job. I'm not quite sure he's the right guy for it, but they thought so. And so that's what they went with. They didn't ask me. They did not ask me. Michael will say I was the right guy. That's why I got the part. Okay, fine. No problem. But the movie is
Starting point is 00:16:14 fascinating twist. So maybe I won't spoil it for you now. It's up on Netflix, though, so the spoiler alerts are already there. You know what? I'm telling you what it is. Okay? I'm just going to tell you. All right. So it's still worth to watch. It's still, because I didn't know the twist. I had that heard about, I don't remember this movie, nothing. And my wife was like, oh, let's watch it. And, you know, and since I was being
Starting point is 00:16:36 nice to her, that was a day that I decided to be nice to my wife and allow her the, you know, have the remote. And as she said, oh, let's watch it. And I was, all right, fine. That was the other night. So I stopped in the middle because I had to go to bed. I got to get up in the morning. I got to get up at 2.30. I got work to do. I can't stay up another hour to finish this movie. I got to go to bed. So I get up and I go to work. I do my thing. I come home yesterday and I watched the last half of the movie. And the twist is awesome. Okay. The twist is up. And so you think that this guy is the humans and they're being, they're being invaded by aliens. Now, during this time prior to the invasion, he's having these nightmares and seeing the flashbacks to all this.
Starting point is 00:17:23 this stuff and he's not quite sure what it is and the wife's calling him crazy and he's all this stuff so then the um the earth gets invaded by what you think are aliens uh-uh nope not aliens so look if if you don't want to know the ending you can you know skip ahead skip ahead because i'm going to tell you um just skip ahead a couple of minutes we'll go into the break room but uh So what to find out is that it's earthlings, humans coming back to take Earth back. Because these people, our guy, are synthetic humans, robots. So like years ago, the humans and the synthetics, the synths, got into a battle because there was the synths were working for them. Sound familiar, robots working my doobot.
Starting point is 00:18:19 And they started to become, well, humans. human. They had, they liked each other. They had ideas, that kind of thing. And the humans were like, no, you're just the synths. So they were going to, they were going to just get rid of them. They decided we're just going to get rid of all the sins. And they had this war. Well, the humans left. The scents ran them off. And they've been on earth all this time. So then they had this way of wiping your mind clean and starting over. So that's what his nightmares were, is that they were the remembering what actually happened because he had wiped his mind clean and they started his life again with his wife, you know, from zero again as these sins on earth thinking that they were human. And so that, I mean, then we're there and they're driven underground.
Starting point is 00:19:08 So if you believe that, then they're coming back. They're coming back. Now, I just was reading about the stupid movie after I've seen it. and it talked about how they were originally going to release this by Universal Pictures, and Universal pulled the release because they didn't like it. And so then Netflix bought it. And it says here that Netflix bought it, and they released it in July of 2018. I don't remember this movie at all.
Starting point is 00:19:40 And apparently it received negative reviews because, you know, it was a confused week storyline, character development, and pacing. I don't know. They had 20 million bucks. And with the sci-fi stuff, I don't think it was that bad. Some of the characters, okay, a little sad. I'll give you that.
Starting point is 00:19:59 But it was, you know, it's worth to watch. And the scents are coming. They're coming back. We drove them underground. We're taking Earth back. Humans went to Mars. And now the grandkids of the humans that went to Mars are coming back to reclaim Earth. I like the premise.
Starting point is 00:20:16 I like the premise. Okay. All right. So if you get a chance to watch, extinction this weekend. Go ahead. It was just kind of a fun ride. You know, another thing you can do is get caught up and watch your favorite shows on Blaze TV.

Oh, you know, another show I saw that I want to watch, and I have not seen this, so no spoiler words on this. It's a movie called Fountain of Youth. It's on Apple TV Plus.
Starting point is 00:22:04 I don't know anything about it. It's with John Krasinski, who I love. And it's with What's Her Face? Natalie Portman, who, you know, questionable about. But it's called Fountain of Youth. It looks like the description is called a treasure hunting mastermind. And according to this, the character John Crosinski plays,
Starting point is 00:22:25 assembles a team for a life-changing mission, but to outwit and outrun threats at every turn, of course he'll need help from his brilliant but a strange sister, Natalie Portman. It sounds like another kind of national treasure movie, and it might be good. It might be good. So I might have to catch that sometime this weekend as well.
Starting point is 00:22:43 But I mean, holy cow, we've got all kinds of movies at the theaters. We've got Lilo and Stitch. We've got mission, the last mission impossible, which, I mean, I do want to see. No question about it. There is the last rodeo, which I do want to see. Final Destination Bloodlines.
Starting point is 00:23:03 I think this is a second week for Final Destination Bloodlines. Okay. I saw the promos that they had going around different cities too. Really cool. They had the big trucks with logs and talking about Final Destination. I mean, my wife loves those stupid movies, so I was forced to watch a lot of them. And sinners is still out.
Starting point is 00:23:22 there a Minecraft movie i don't think Minecraft has hit a billion yet what is happening with that god-offal movie the accountant too which i kind of want to see be sure to follow me on my social medios at jeffy jfr on x jeff fisher radio on instagram and facebook chewing the fat with jeff fisher on youtube boy i've neglected that i apologize for that i i i every time i mention it on the show i think oh my gosh i got to do something on my youtube channel i'm neglected it i I apologize. Chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher on YouTube. You can order a cameo from me at Jeffey JFR on the cameo app.

Starting point is 00:24:12 I may not respond to all of them, but I do see them all. Thank you. Your questions, your comments. your stories, your, I'll call them applications. Trying to, for your joke of the day, your submissions for a joke of the day,
Starting point is 00:24:30 thank you. And some of you are working very hard on that. And you can also submit your opportunity to be on What's the Lie, which is the game show that we play here every Friday. We do have a returning champion today. Coming up on What's the Lie? He won last week.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Alan Bladgett. We'll see if he can. and he will see if he can do it for another week. And, you know, speaking to movies, I see where Marvel has delayed Avengers Doomsday to December 18th, 2026, and Secret Wars to December 17th, 2027, to allow for more production time.
Starting point is 00:25:08 That does not bode well for those movies. To me, that says to allow more production time, which means we are trying to make it better. and that good luck good luck i hope you you know what i hope you do oh i don't think i ever mentioned this here i know i mentioned it on uh the fat five or the chewing the fat with jeffisher on pat gray unleashed one of those um sesame street is now moving to netflix they got the boot from hbo hbo they were paying you 35 million a year you've been on with us since 2015 last year get out. We're tired of it.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Hey, we're going in a different direction. Children's programming is not the way we're going here at HBO Max, which, you know, I guess is good. And they were paying them $35 million a year. Okay, all right. And according to reports, Netflix did not pay that much, which is kind of surprising to get Sesame Street. So if you're looking for Sesame Street and wondering where the heck is it,
Starting point is 00:26:11 it's on Netflix. Now, you can still, I guess, catch it on. on the PBS stations and PBS kids' YouTube channel the same day that they appear on Netflix. Weird. They only made it to PBS months after debuting on HBO Max. Yeah, I mean, HBO Max wanted it first. Netflix is just giving it to them saying, we're going to be up on Netflix and you can put it on PBS at the same time. No way they're paying $35 million a year for that.
Starting point is 00:26:38 No way. So I guess Netflix apparently is looking to priority. prioritize family, children, youth shows, because I guess they claim that family programming accounts for, I don't know, 10, 15, 20%, I don't even think it's 20%, but we'll say that. We'll say it's 15% of family programming on Netflix. Okay, all right, good.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Good for Netflix, no problem. It's there for you if you want to watch Netflix. They've been around for 50 years. And, you know, the thing is, we've been subsidizing that stupid show as taxpayers. and I just, I'm tired of, I'm tired of subsidizing them. They ended up getting a bunch of money from, you said, for to produce shows in Iraq,
Starting point is 00:27:23 and I'm pretty sure different countries around the world. And why, if they're getting that, I mean, that's our tax dollars too, but that's separate from what we were getting, from what they were getting other subsidies for. They were just raking in the cash. And, you know, maybe it's, I'd like to be a part of that. If they're going to continue to rake in the cash, Sesame Street, Chewit the Fat is here for you
Starting point is 00:27:45 You need some new character Like a fat bird, I'm here Sure, I sure it's fat shaming And we don't want to do that on Sesame Street But you know what? I'll take it I'll take it for what? A million a year? Sure, let's do that With Amex Platinum
Starting point is 00:28:19 $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. All right. Who died today? Who died today?
Starting point is 00:28:37 Well, we'll begin with British actor Michael McStay. Michael McStay, he is definitely a guy that if you see him, you'll go, oh yeah, that guy. And he was best known for his role in Doctor Who, has passed away at the age of 92. and they announced his death. Apparently he died in his sleep of heart failure after he had lunch with his kids, which is very, very sad. He had lunch with his sons and then went and took a nap, I guess,
Starting point is 00:29:10 and died of heart failure. So rest in peace to, oh yeah, that guy, Michael McStay, known for his role in Doctor Who, dead at the age of 92. Then we have a demonstration. Democratic representative, Congressman Jerry Connelly of Virginia, has passed away at the age of 75. Apparently, he's been battling esophageal cancer,
Starting point is 00:29:37 which I don't necessarily wish on anyone. So esophageal cancer took down Congressman Jerry Conley, dead at the age of 75. Then we have Yaron Alishinsky and Sarah Lynn M. Milgram, both dead, gunned down outside of the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. from this douchebag Elias Rodriguez, who they tried to take care of after he shot them 21 times or more.

Starting point is 00:31:08 remarkable it's in a San Diego neighborhood it's Navy United States Navy housing a plane crashed yesterday morning Dave Shapiro co-founder of sound talent group and two employees, along with three other people on the plane, have all passed away. No one in the neighborhood died, which is remarkable looking at the damage. It's just amazing. So six people, as I said, were on board the plane. One of the police officers said that it was incredible. They forced evacuations. One house is completely burned, I mean destroyed where the plane, I guess that's where the actual plane hit. But the plane included fragments.
Starting point is 00:31:56 I guess it hit a power line. It was foggy. And then there was some pieces of the plane behind other homes. So you can see there were about 10 other homes that were damaged. The largest neighborhood of Navy-owned housing in the country here in San Diego. One man who lived in the home. that was hit said they felt the heat all around them. My wife was screaming. She's like there's a fire who has they both served in the Navy. They walked out toward the front of the house. They saw the roof
Starting point is 00:32:28 had fallen off. Flames blocked their exit. They grabbed their children and dogs and ran to the back where their neighbors helped them climb over a fence to escape. Incredible. So nobody in the neighborhood loved that's amazing. She said she woke up to a wishing sound, then saw a giant fireball outside. She screamed for help as firefighters arrived and helped her to get out with her children and her family dog. He saw some plane parts and glass debris and cars. There were jet fuel down the street.
Starting point is 00:32:55 One guy got hurt climbing out of his car window, but that car was completely damaged. I mean, just amazing. The, you know, it's in such a horrific thing. I mean, sick people lost their lives, including a guy that was, you know, known for helping people succeed in life. Dave Shapiro, the co-founder of Sound Talent Group.
Starting point is 00:33:20 He, you know, yes, it's sad that these six people died, but it's incredible that all these other people didn't die. So, you know, good for them. I don't know what to tell you. It's just amazing that this plane crashes
Starting point is 00:33:35 in a neighborhood and only the people on the plane die. So rest in peace. To Dave Shapiro and the five other people on board. the Cessna 550 plane crash in San Diego.
Starting point is 00:33:50 All right, so if I were to ask you Alan Alda, dead or alive, Alan Alda. Would it be a mean question? Maybe it would be. But, all right,
Starting point is 00:34:02 so I'm asking. This is not for what's the lie, although it could be. Just, I'm going to ask you right now. Don't look it up. Don't. Don't do it. Alan Alda.
Starting point is 00:34:13 dead or alive? What would your answer be? Well, he's still alive, just so you know. So if you answer dead, you're wrong. But apparently, he's got Parkinson's disease really bad, which I think I remember talking about it one time. And he's 89 now. And of course, he's, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:31 we know if we're playing on MASH. But I guess he's now making a cameo appearance on Netflix's The Four Seasons, which I guess is Tina Faye's adaptation of the 81 film that Alon Aldo wrote, directed and starred in. So I guess he's talking about his life with Parkinson's, and he told the publication, he talked with people, and he said that making progress, I didn't say which direction, though.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Yeah, so sad. I do not wish that on anyone. He also has a condition called prosopagnosia, which I don't know, didn't know that that existed. P-R-O-S-O-P-A-G-G-N. N-O-S-I-A. Prasapagnosia. Yeah, that's what I said. Prasapagnosia.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Yeah, I know. I got it. That's what I said. Apparently, this is known as face blindness, which makes it hard for him to recognize people. That's what I have. If it looks like, if I meet you in public, and it looks like I don't know you,
Starting point is 00:35:39 that's because I'm suffering from... Prosapagnoia. Yeah, I've got that. too, face blindness. So I guess he's dealing with that and he's dealing with a series of different things going on with his Parkinson's.
Starting point is 00:35:54 He said he has a series of puzzles every day. I'm finding a new way to do something and it's like a game. The Parkinson's has gone from a part-time job to almost a full-time job.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Yeah, it's a terrific, progressive disease. I do not wish that. not anyone. I've seen what the progression of Parkinson's does to people and it is not, it's not good at all. Especially if you have Parkinson's and then you suffer from prosopagnosia. Yeah, then, now that makes the day even tougher. Remember, you thought he was dead. He's not. He's alive at 89. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.
