Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. I love clocks. I always have loved clocks. And I like to be where I can see a clock at all times. And maybe that's just the old school radio guy. I am. I just love clocks.

I love watches. I used to wear them all the time. I haven't worn a watch in quite some time because I have my phone with me. And that always has a timestamp clock on it. And I know on my phone, one of the home screen, it has multiple home screens. Can that happen? Yes, it has multiple home screens.

And several of them have giant analog clocks on them, so I don't have to see the digital. I see the analog, which I love. Then I see the story that talks about how the shift away from traditional timekeeping in classrooms is a direct response to the digital age, where smartphones and smart watches have made telling time synonymous with reading digits.

Yes, it has. I will say in the radio studio, we have a giant analog clock and a digital clock right underneath it. Now, many educators, according to this story, have observed that students, particularly those under intense pressure during timed examination, struggle to quickly interpret the positions of the hour and minute hands on an analog face. Yeah, it's tough. You can't figure something like that out. At least not off the bat, but you could, I don't know, what could happen? teach them. Anyway, to reduce unnecessary test day anxiety and to ensure everyone stays on schedule.

Schools are increasingly swapping out heritage round clocks for high visibility digital displays. Why not have both is my question. Why not have the, what you're calling the heritage round clocks stay where they are? and if there's room, you put a digital clock underneath it or a digital clock above it. So you can have both of them. And I would say that the teacher needs to maybe, I don't know, teach them how to tell time. I know there's digital clocks, watches, there's digital on your phone, but there's also analog. And, you know, like I like, obviously you've got the digital clock, you know, on the microwave and the digital clock on the coffee maker and the digital clock on the oven and the digital clock in your car. and a lot of those change automatically, but some don't.

You know, I don't, I don't have a smart kitchen, so the oven doesn't change, the microwave doesn't change, and the coffee maker doesn't change for time change weekend. But I have an analog clock in the bathroom. I have an analog clock in the bedroom. I mean, I just, I love clocks. I like to know, here's the thing. I like to know what time it is. That's just me.

I like to know what time it is. And if you have trouble reading an analog clock, it's very simple. The big hand equals the minutes. The shorthand equals the hours. And then the one little fast-moving thin hand is the second hand. And when it does 60 of those, the big hand moves ahead another minute. I know, I know. right moves right all the way around up to the top and it continues to move right amazing that's called

something clockwise so when you learn about clockwise that means you're going to the right if you're going to go against clockwise or backwards clockwise or what else do they call it uh i don't i don't even remember but you're going to go the other way right counterclockwise duh and so you have to learn it. You just have to learn it. It just drives me insane that the schools are just taking them out because kids are having a tough time. I mean, help them out a little bit. That's what you're there for, isn't it? Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Fat 5 Plus. You know, a lot of times when you hear about a woman sending a hundred singing telegrams to her ex on Valentine's Day during a Valentine's dinner with another woman, you probably think, and they're all breakup songs,

you probably think, oh, that's a crazy one. Yeah, that's going to be a crazy person. But you look at the picture, and you see the picture of this lady in Charleston, South Carolina, and she doesn't have the crazy eyes. She masks it well. So police say a 30-year-old woman turned this Valentine's Day into what authorities described as a rotating constant of consequences. after allegedly hiring 100 separate singing telegram performers

to interrupt her ex-boyfriend's romantic dinner. And you're just out of your mind. So apparently it all started. After he posted soft launch, according to police, she hard-launched retaliation. Beginning at 630 Sharp, costume performers began entering this upscale. restaurant every 12 minutes.

The lineup was a man in a giant heart costume, belting irreplaceable, a barbershop quartet, singing should have known better, a solo violinist playing a dramatic version of someone like you, a cowboy serenading, you done me wrong, a full choir chanting, we saw the text. That was just the beginning. So witnesses just say,

the performers just kept coming. Another walked in holding a card that read Delivery for Chad again. So police were called after the 17th interruption when diners assumed the restaurant had launched a live theater concept. Investigators traced the bookings to a prepaid card and email labeled Valentine's Agenda 2026.

When questioned, she told officers that he had, though he wanted attention. I scheduled it. So she was arrested, arrested, on charges related to harassment and misuse of electronic communications. Come on now. I know she's crazy and she's out of her mind, but she didn't, I don't see that you get arrested for that. Harassment and misuse of electronic communications.

All right, good luck, God bless. Again, I looked at the mugshot. She doesn't have the crazy eyes. But that doesn't make her any less crazy. But it does make her maybe a little bit smarter because there was no violence and there was no yelling. It was just all these singing, serenading groups coming in every 12 minutes. It's not funny.

It's not funny at all. I'm glad that she got arrested. I mean, she needs to stay there forever on harassment and misuse of electronic communications. can't have that. We cannot have that. According to the police, the ex left before dessert has since deactivated his Instagram. Yeah, I bet. So maybe you ought to think twice before you break up with her, pal. Now, if you're angry at a fast food restaurant, I don't know, let's say, oh, Burger King, you can now call the CEO, direct. Now, we did call it on Saturday morning live that I do every Saturday with Brad Staggs at 9 a.m. Central.

We do it live. That's why we call it Saturday morning live. Anyway, the CEO said there's nothing like hearing from guests firsthand. I'm so excited to have an even greater opportunity to have live, open, and honest conversations, ask questions, and see how we can create an even. Better Burger King. Oh. Okay. Well, I do have one question there, Mr. CEO, Tom Curtis.

My question is, so if I dial the number, which we did on Saturday, 1,305-874-0520, you can call or text. It went right to voicemail. I wanted someone to answer. going to pick up the phone? What is happening? I mean, I thought that's what you wanted. You wanted honest and open dialogue, Mr. Curtis, but apparently not. It just goes to voicemail. Now, maybe, maybe sometimes during the day he picks it up. I don't know. But it went to voicemail when we called. So I was a little disappointed because I was ready to, I was actually giving them good news. I left a kind of a voicemail, you know, through Brad. That's the only way the phone calls work on the show is. And that I was happy

with my last stop at Burger King. But it's been a while. And so, you know, I, when I think of fast food, Burger King isn't on the list. And I apologize to the CEO for that. But it is. I mean, I think of fast food.

You think of McDonald's. You think of Wendy's. They're closing down a bunch of stores. So a lot less people are thinking of Wendy's. And, you know, maybe KFC, Taco Bell. And I guess Burger King is on the list. I play a way. When I think of fast food, Burger King,

is on the list, okay? But I just never think to go there. I haven't gone to a fast food place in a long time. I see fast food bags show up in my home from time to time, so I know people in my house go to fast food restaurants, but I do not. However, I will say that I expected someone to answer the phone. So if I have to call this number again,

and I may try again. Maybe we'll try every Saturday for until it goes away. We'll just dial 1-305-8-7-405. 8740-0-5-20 and try to read someone live. Until then, a little disappointed. How about those BAFTA Awards this past weekend, huh? Yeah, I know. Man, was it, it was a great BAFTA award show.

I mean, congratulations to all the winners. I know that one battle after another, won six BAFTA Awards on the night. I mean, there's winning all these awards. It's okay. it. Is it, uh, is it, I mean, the, the Oscars are just around the corner, uh, next month. And, uh, I don't know, a couple weeks away. And so, I mean, this is a frontrunner for the Oscar, uh, one battle after another. And, uh, so, okay, I mean, it was good. I enjoyed it. It took, I had, I watched it when it was up on streaming,

because it takes me a while to build up to get past Leo. I love, I love Leonardo DiCaprio and his acting, but it takes me a while to get past his, you know, his real life things. But, he was good in it. And what's his face? Sean Penn won supporting actor in one battle after another. So, you know, congratulations to them. But the winner of the night was Robert Armail, who won the Rising, the E. Rising Star Award. And his movie was the movie about Tourette's.

The movie, I Swear. It was based on him. Well, Robert or Mayo. It wasn't based on him. It was based on the man who was the inspiration for the movie, I swear. And he was, two things happened prior to him and his scene during the BAFTA Awards. Okay. One other little factoid from the BAFTA Awards that I love is that Marty Supreme,

Timothy Charlemais movie tied the record for most losses in a single night after going zero for 11. So congratulations to Marty Supreme. You tied with a woman in love from 1969 and Finding Neverland in 2004. All of those films went winless with 11 nomination. So congratulations.

And Timothy Charlemagne got the boot for from I swear because Robert Armeo won that award, who was playing the man who was John Davidson is his name. And he was the guy who the movie was based after the Tourette's guy. He's got Tourette's. And I'm very familiar with Tourette's. So the host, Alan Cummings, had to come out and said, Thanks for your understanding because, you know, Davidson was diagnosed with Tourette's at 25.

His symptoms include ticks and involuntary outbursts. You may have noticed some strong language in the background. This can be part of how Tourette's syndrome shows up for some people as the film explores that experience. Yeah, we just want you to calm down because when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Linda were on stage getting ready. and they were talking about the award that they were giving away and who cares what award it was. You heard John Anderson in the back shout out, Edward!

Well, he didn't say Edward. He said the actual word. And everybody just kind of stopped for a moment and then just rolled on. Now, I would say that everybody is probably fine with it, but that is completely wrong because I guess there are some Hollywood actors and actresses that are a little upset

over it. You know what I would say to them? Tough. Get over it. Okay. It happens. Guess what? The word gets said all the time. Only we're not supposed to, as white people, we're not allowed to say it. That really is agonizing to me. But that's the rules are the rules that we all live by now. That's a word that only white people can't say. Oh, okay. Remember there was a teacher not long ago. I forget what school it was, shoot, I'll have to find it. She was talking to her class. And I don't know whether they had an analog clock in the school or not, probably not. And she asked, there were, she had an overwhelming amount of African Americans in her class, but there were white kids and Spanish kids. And she asked the question, why is it okay for only black people to say the

N word? And she said the word. And they were like, oh, oh, they freaked out. And in fact, she was a substitute teacher, and they gave her the boot. She can't even be a substitute teacher. I mean, I don't know whether she gets her job back for sure not at that school, but she was just asking the question. That is absolutely agonizing to me that we cannot. We as white people cannot say that word. But you got it.

It's your word. You get to say it as much as you want. And when a white person says it, I guess you get to be angry and pretend that you're all upset because you heard the word coming out of someone else's mouth other than a black person. Okay. Those are the rules. You know, speaking to movies, I was looking at the top movies from this weekend. It was a rough weekend for the film industry. The number one movie, only $17 million. Wow. Goat, which is week two. Wuthering Heights was week two, $14.2 million for week two. And Wuthering Hearts, I'll say that we'll see how good it does now,

because it was like the number one movie from last weekend. And I saw where, what's his face, Glenn Beck, ripped this movie. I mean, he ripped it to shreds the Friday ago when opening weekend for Wuthering Heights, telling people not to see it. It was terrible. It was horrible.

Maybe they didn't, maybe they should have that happen to every movie because after he told people not to go and don't listen, it became the highest growth. worldwide debut of 2026 so far. That first week they took it to 82 million. So maybe Glenn needs to bash me. If you can hire Glenn to bash your movie,

maybe it'll be number one. Anyway, I can only imagine, number three, Crime 101, sent help, how to make a killing. My movie epic, Elvis Presley in concert. I need to get to the theater to see this. And it was in seventh place, 3.25 million. I want to see the best. As Loven's concert doc with never-before-seen footage of the King,

95% critic score, 99% audience score, get out there. What are we doing? Plus, Epic will be great on streaming. So, I mean, for those that don't get to see to the theater, really, it will be big in streaming. Solo Mile, Zootopia 2 still hanging in there. Are they over $2 billion yet? They only made 2.3 million last week in their ninth place.

Globally, $1.85 billion. What a bunch of losers. They're not even over $2 billion yet. And Avatar, Week 10, and they're in 10th place, $1.8 million. Are they over $2 billion? No, they're not even over $2 billion yet. $1.47 billion. Wow, Zootopia, too.

They've got three more weeks on them, though. But they've made more money than Avatar. Okay. All right. And Avatar spent 400 million. Who, James Cameron has spent all kinds of money. And Zootopia, too, they only spent $150 million. So everybody's happy with that, including with Avatar, I'm sure. Whatever money they spent, they've made $1.47 billion so far globally on Avatar. Yeah, I would say that they're pretty happy.

and Cameron's been bad-mouthing the Netflix Warner Brothers deal. He does not want that to happen. He thinks Netflix is going to put an end to movie theaters. They said they wouldn't. I know that's his deal. That's what they said, but they're not going to do it. I think that they probably are. And by will, I mean, you know, stick to their word.

And what they had said that they would do is how they were going to save the movie theater. I know that Paramount made a new bid. So, okay, we'll see if that happens. I don't know if Netflix is going to match it. I guess they have to under the terms. They have a right to match the terms. They have a four-day window to make an offer. So we'll see, you know, it's a lot of money.

And they're just fighting over the pretty girl in town, Warner Brothers Discovery. So we'll see who gets it. Paramount wants it all. Netflix wants the movies. and so maybe in the end, Netflix will get what they want, and Paramount will get half of what they want, and they can all be happy little campers.

And it's worth every shiny nickel at Jeffey JFR on the Cameo app. be sure I mentioned earlier I do a Saturday morning live with Brad Stags every Saturday at Real Brad Staggs is his X account.

You do it on the X. X is being a real problem for me as of late. The show airs live, but after the show is over, the recorded live show doesn't show up in my timeline or Brad's timeline. I don't like it. And I read, I think last week I read what you're supposed to do and I attempted to do it and it didn't work. Now, that could be that I did something wrong, so I'm going to try to do it again.

But it's really agonizing, and I have a real problem. And I reached out. I actually tagged, you know, Deer at X and asked them, and I didn't get a response from him. That's a real problem. I don't know, Elon, I see him, I know that he's not really X. He just owns it. Okay, got it. But somebody needs to let me know how the heck to fix that, because that's a real issue for me.

I want people to be able, obviously, to come to the show. live. Yes, you should be there at 9 a.m. And actually, we usually start sometime between 8.30 and 9 with a little pre-show. But the actual Saturday morning live starts at 9 o'clock sharp and central. And it should, when we're done, show up in our timeline so that people who aren't there live can watch it for the first time or the people that were there live want to go back and watch it again. But it hasn't been that way for a couple of weeks. I don't like it. I don't like it at all.

But the Saturday morning live still happens at Jeffrey JFR on the X. So now also, I want to say that this show is free because of people who subscribe to Blaze TV. Thank you very much.

Let's begin with Ron Dale Moore. Ron Dale Moore is dead at the age of 25. Ron Dale was an NFL player, and he was found in his garage with a gunshot wound. So it was suicide. Very sad.

Don't forget, I mean, look, there's 988 out there, which is the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or 988 Lifeline.org, if you find yourself needing, if you think that the planet is going to be better off without you on it, dial 988 because it's not going to be. It's only going to be worse without you. on it. And it goes for Ron Dale, too. I wish he would have dialed 988. So rest in peace to Ron Dale Moore

dead at the age of 25. I mean, that's not I mean, less what, three months ago or so. We had Marshawn Neeland from the Dallas Cowboys who killed himself in November. Holy cow. So that's a couple of players in the NFL

in, you know, several months. A couple months, two or three months. So you know, people are upset and want the NFL to do more. I don't know what the NFL could do more of. And I guess, you know, Roger Goodell is probably asking, asking for people's input, at least around the NFL offices, what more can we do? But, you know, I'm sure he's talking to the NFL docs and maybe the team docs

and, you know, the other players to get some information on what more they could do. But, I mean, whatever they could do, I mean, I hope. that they do. Rondale was also in the news because ESPN put up their, they were Scott Van Pelt on a sports center Saturday night was a paying tribute to Rondale, but they had the wrong NFL player in the picture. That's so bad. What kind of idiot makes that mustache? Seriously, what kind of idiot makes that mistake? That's something that you just don't do. You know, we're going to pay tribute to Ron Dale Moore, a guy who just committed suicide, and we're going to talk about him on SportsCenter. Let's get the right picture.

Let's get the right photograph of the man on the screen. People are a little wound up at the Sports Center. Now, they apologized for it, of course. But not Scott Van Pelt. As far as I know, maybe Scott has addressed it since. But as of this weekend, anchor David Lloyd said that, you know, they apologize for a mistake, obviously. And obviously it can't happen.

And, you know, they're taking responsibility, are they? But most of the players are just wound up that, you know, the NFL needs to do more to, you know, protect the players. I honestly, I don't know what more the NFL could do. But, you know, good luck. God bless with all of that. Also, who died today? Robert Caradine, Revenge of the Nerds.

Lizzy McGuire star, if would you see him, you go, oh yeah, that guy, dead at the age of 71. Roger, he was big time, you'd know his face, and he is that guy. He is one of those. When you look at him, I mean, obviously he's a lot older now, the latest picture from him, and you go, anybody gives you the smile, and you go, oh, yeah, that guy. And it doesn't say what he died from. but probably was some kind of sickness. And you can quote me on that.

But all the stories say that people are wondering about what the cause of death was because he didn't seem to be sick. I will say that Hillary Duff, who commented on her Instagram tribute, said that I was, my heart aches. I'm deeply sad to learn Bobby, is suffering. Okay, so does that mean suicide or does that mean some kind of illness? I don't know how to take that. But rest in peace to Robert Caradine dead at the age of 71. Then I speak in NFL, let's do a little NFL chat. I see where the new Buffalo Bill Stadium, which I think is stupid because

they're in Buffalo and they're not building a dome. And I believe every NFL stadium should be a dome. It's a new stadium. Put a dome on it. It's in Buffalo, New York. They literally have had to move games to another city with a domed stadium because there was too much snow on the ground in Buffalo. Just incredible. Anyway, they apparently had to stop work. They canceled work for two or three days because there was graffiti on the stadium on the walls of some of the boxes. And so they, you know, they claimed. that they knew they could get a pretty good idea of who did it because they have access cards to different spaces and areas in the stadium. And so it's come to its conclusion. And I guess there are seven construction workers who have been identified as the culprits behind the vandalism. Now, I was thinking graffiti, oh, no. Did someone draw a noose on the wall?

Was it something like that where he had to stop? No, it really wasn't. I mean, it was hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage in these boxes. Pretty incredible. It was in the boxes that they were building. And they did say that it was pornographic in nature. But it was also on these marble tops in these executive suites. And in the boxes, the NFL high value guest boxes.

It costs a lot of money to get into them. And I have marble tops. And so there was a lot of, of graffiti that was pornographic in nature. And they said that apparently these construction workers thought it was funny. It was not. It was about $100,000 with the damage. So they shut it down for that on the new bill stadium,

which should be a dome, by the way, just saying. All right, let's get out of here. I'm going to leave you with the joke of the day. It's a big guy joke. So just know that this is a big guy joke. And I don't know if I've done this before. I feel like I have. I feel like this joke has made me laugh.

before because it made me laugh again. And so I'm going to share it with you. I came through a Chris on an email to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. And I read it. I laughed. I shared it. People, other people laughed and other people in the house said, oh, that's, why are you reading that?

That was my daughter. So if she says that to me, then I know it's a winner. Okay. How is dating like finding a parking? lot. I don't know. How is dating like finding a parking lot? All the good ones are taken. So you put it in the disabled one and hope you don't get caught. See what he's trying. No, I think you got it.
