Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Every time I see this meme, picture, choice, I have to stop and think to myself, which one would I pick? Well, actually, two.
Starting point is 00:00:46 So there's a new, you know, meme picture of pick only two pills, and there are nine pills. One pill is look 15 years younger. Second pill is read minds for three days. One pill is forget your X, not Twitter, formerly known as Twitter, forget your EX as in former spouse. Number four is eat without gaining weight. Number five is add five centimeters to your height. Number six is become super strong.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Number seven is have a lot of money. Number eight is always feel happy. number nine is get millions of followers I'm you know on social media duh so I mean it's very easy to pick two of these choices no one's gonna pick you know forget your eggs
Starting point is 00:01:43 I realize that some are a nightmare but you're not gonna want to forget your eggs you in five centimeters to your height no big deal nobody even knows really how much that is become super strong I mean you can do that at any time just here's an idea
Starting point is 00:02:01 lift weights always feel happy you know okay I guess maybe get millions of followers I mean that would turn into money I guess in the end but really you're going to want to eat without gaining weight
Starting point is 00:02:19 right and you're going to want to have a lot of money because you'll look younger if you don't gain any weight. So you don't have to worry about the look 15 years younger. And you can have most of this if you have a lot of money. So money solves a lot of issues. It doesn't solve all your issues. And you won't always be happy.
Starting point is 00:02:41 But it solves a lot of headaches that you have that you don't want to have. And you can quote me on that. It solves a lot of headaches that you have that you don't want to have. so really you want to eat without gaining weight and you want to have a lot of money I don't know it doesn't seem that difficult to me and I'll take those two pills right there please yes the one that will let you eat without gaining weight
Starting point is 00:03:08 and yes go ahead and give me that one over there where I have a lot of money and you can put the other seven away all right okay good welcome welcome to chewing the fat Here we go again. Craft Heinz said that they are recalling more than 83,000 cases of individually wrapped craft singles American processed cheese slices. Because of choking hazards. Wow, that's, what are we doing?
Starting point is 00:03:46 The slices of cheese can choke. you? Well, no. Look, it's a temporary issue. It was developed in one of our wrapping machines, one of their wrapping machines, wrapped 83,000 cases before they realized there was a problem. Okay. All right. All right. No problem. Apparently, it was an issue with their wrapping machine, making it possible that a thin strip of the individual film may remain on the slice, after the wrapper has been removed. Really weird. If the film sticks to the slice and is not removed,
Starting point is 00:04:29 it could be unpleasant, yeah, you think, and potentially cause a gagging or choking hazard. Now, they claim that the recall comes after six consumers complained that they had choked or gagged on a piece of plastic wrap. Now, they claim here also in the story that no injuries or serious health issues have been reported. No injuries or serious health issues have been reported, yet we're recalling the product because six customers complained they had choked or gagged on a piece of plastic wrap. That, to me, sounds like there were some injuries. But, okay, whatever.
Starting point is 00:05:16 I mean, if I'm unwrapping a craft slice of single cheese today, yeah, that's happening. So just, I'm just saying, I'm going to go ahead and have some kind of issue choking. Oh, and don't forget about the 30 tons, you know, 58,000 pounds of raw ground beef that has been recalled. due to possible E. coli. That's all. The USDA did recall this, announced that American Foods Group LLC,
Starting point is 00:06:01 doing business as Green Bay dressed beef LLC, recalled several ground beef products shipped to Georgia, Michigan, and Ohio, claiming that they may be contaminated with the Shigotoxin producing E. coliolone. lie. Now let's talk about the 245,000 pounds of banquet frozen chicken strip meals recalled over plastic contamination. Wait, more plastic contamination? So we have the craft cheese slices, plastic contamination, and we have the banquet frozen chicken strip entrees, 245,000 pounds, recalled over, they may contain plastic after a consumer reportedly suffered an oral injury
Starting point is 00:06:54 after eating one of the products. Wow. Missouri-based Canagra brands issued the recall on 24,366 pounds of banquet chicken strips with Best Buy dates of December 24, January 25, January 25. The problem was discovered when the firm notified FSIS that it received a consumer complaint of plastic and the chicken strip portion of the product, which resulted in an oral injury associated with the consumption of the product. It doesn't say what actually caused the problem. There were no other reports of injury or sickness. You obviously should contact your health care provider and return the product where you can.
Starting point is 00:07:49 I guess everything is okay with the old Connaker brands after they recall the canned Vienna sausages and chicken products over concerns that packaging issues may have caused contamination. So this kind of sounds like the same thing. I'd like to know what particular piece of plastic came in the same. the frozen meals of banquet chicken strip entrees. It doesn't say we don't know where that piece of plastic came from. I do know that if I'm eating the banquet chicken strip meals I think I've got something in my throat.
Starting point is 00:08:33 So last week was American was a national truck driver appreciation week. Not just American. I mean, internationally truck driver appreciation week. I know that it's a national truck driver appreciation week, but every day is just national truck driver appreciation week. We get news out of Louisiana that a trucker won the right to display a flag with a vulgar anti-Biden statement after a town tried to stop him.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Now, first of all, you have to believe that it's vulgar. but the lawsuit was filed against a Ross Brunette in Grand Isle, which is a town on the barrier reef in the Gulf of Mexico, after officials fined him for flying a flag reading F asteris asteris, askerus, and F asteris, asteris, U for voting for him. I don't know why he put the asteris there, but I get the idea, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:40 F Biden and F.U for voting for him. So they settled the lawsuit. They agreed to rescind an order barring the flag. The town was also ordered to pay Burnett $40,000 in lawyers' fees and damages. The agreement said that the trucker was wrongfully cited for engaging in constitutionally protected speech of flying flags with political message by the city. Yeah, Brunette had filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing the city of infringing on his First Amendment free speech rights.
Starting point is 00:10:21 So now we're just waiting on a federal judge to approve the deal. And we have in a similar case in New Jersey, Roswell Park, New Jersey, which is beautiful this time of year. There's a lady there who refused to take down her expletive-filled signs expressing anti-Biden messages despite angry criticism from her neighbors. They argued that the explicit messages were inappropriate for children walking to school.
Starting point is 00:10:51 She claims I'm not giving up. I don't care what it costs me. I'm not giving up. I'm standing my ground. All right. Well, Andrea Dick, good luck to you. Because I think you should have whatever sign you want as well. and this will add fuel to the fire
Starting point is 00:11:08 now that Ross Brunette got his deal done in Grand Isle let's hope that Andrea Dick in Roswell Park, New Jersey continues her fight I want to have my expletive flag flown anytime and anywhere I want okay so
Starting point is 00:11:27 how about you just back off me if I want a flag that says F asteris asteris asteris Biden and F asteris asteris asteris you for voting for him I should be allowed to have it All right Let's go to the break group
Starting point is 00:11:47 I need something cold to drink Desperately So Robert Duch Niro Is reportedly Reviving his taxi driver character In a new advertising campaign for Uber. Wow, does that put a slap in the face to taxi drivers?
Starting point is 00:12:13 First of all, I like Robert De Niro. I like a lot of his work, but he's such an ugly, mean guy. And I know he needs the money. He's whined about how he needed the money with the divorce. His last divorce cost him a bunch of money. And he's got kids and he's, you know, he's got the new baby now. And so he needs the money. So when Uber came along, I'm sure he was like,
Starting point is 00:12:35 yep, got to do that one. Okay. So I guess, remember his, you know, troubled cabby and the 1976 movie role taxi driver, which, by the way, I mean, he's, that means he's 80. Now, he just turned 80. So he's recreating his, tell you talking to me? You talking to me? Which he was talking to himself, by the way, in a mirror. He was doing that bit.
Starting point is 00:13:05 So, I guess the commercial. are being filmed in London. He's done advertising campaigns for Warburton's Bread and Santander Bank, American Express, and Kia cars. I don't know if they used any of the taxi driver lines. I'm sure that the taxi drivers, the actual taxi drivers, are going to be a little pissed that he's doing an ad for Uber. you know, the company that's putting taxi drivers out of business. Now, I'm, you know, whatever. I want everybody to get what they want and what they need, 100%.
Starting point is 00:13:48 But I know that, you know, taxi drivers are not that happy with Uber. And so it's, you know, going to be fun to watch how taxi drivers around the world react to the guy most famous taxi driver, or at least one of the most famous taxi drivers in the world, even though he was crazy and whacked out of his mind, that is going to do an ad for Uber. So I can't wait for that.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Can't wait for that. And it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. And speaking of nice guys, I see where Hunter Biden sued the IRS or is now going to sue the IRS for allegedly violating his private he writes, by disclosing his tax return info. The IRS agents testified before the House this summer as lawmakers, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:44 investigated Hunter's taxes and business dealings. The lawsuit alleges the agents made more than 20 nationally televised interviews and shared confidential tax information. One of the statements was made during an interview with CBS News. An agent alleged hunter-filed prostitutes, sex club memberships, hotel rooms for promoted drug dealers as business expenses. The agent also called the lawsuit a frivolous smear. So now he's a hunter is seeking $1,000 for each unauthorized disclosure.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Okay, so that's $20,000 or maybe $25,000, big whoop. And I mean, I'm not turning down $25,000, but for Hunter and his woes and troubles, $25,000 is like pocket change. And don't forget, he's been indebted. now on separate charges connected with the illegal possession of a gun. And they're fighting now to get him to just do his not guilty plea over Zoom. Do we don't need to make him come back to the Northeast and be, you know, plead not guilty. He can do that over Zoom.
Starting point is 00:15:52 So we'll see if that holds water these days. But I wouldn't be surprised if that actually happened. So good luck to all. So it is that time of year again when new. polls and studies and rankings come out. So we have the 2023 best states to visit this fall. And that comes from a lawn starter. Of course, they're famous for their rankings.
Starting point is 00:16:21 So the best states to visit this fall and they have state rankings and then they do up close a methodology. So Texas is not looking good in this ranking. And then there's another ranking that Texas is definitely now looking good. So the top five states to visit this fall, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Washington, New York, California. Okay. Now, these are all, I know it's fall, and we're looking at the changing of the color and seeing the beautiful trees. I get it.
Starting point is 00:17:00 The top 10 after Pennsylvania, you're looking at Vermont. Oregon, Colorado, Minnesota, Maine. I know those are all beautiful places. But when you start looking at the bottom of the pile, you think, well, those aren't bad places to go. You know, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Florida. Those places would seem to be, you know, not bad places to go. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:26 In the fall. Then Delaware. I mean, Delaware should be at the bottom of list anyway. It's a beautiful state, Jeff. I know. It's the home to our president, Jeff. Yeah, I know. That's one of the reasons I wouldn't want to go there. Oklahoma. You know, Oklahoma is prettier than you think, but I would say that, you know, it doesn't necessarily rank up there with states I would go to visit, you know, if you asked me.
Starting point is 00:17:52 And Louisiana is at the bottom of the list. Now, Louisiana is pretty. I like Mississippi is prettier than you think. You could quote me on that. Mississippi is definitely more pretty. than you think. If you ever were to think to yourself, I wonder if Mississippi is pretty or not. Yeah, think to yourself, yeah, it definitely is. But Texas is not looking well in this.
Starting point is 00:18:13 And then I look at another ranking that talks about Texas having the worst drivers in the country. So there's a report conducted by Forbes advisor, so you have to believe it. And it was based on an analysis of six metrics that reflect dangerous driving behavior, drunk driving, distracted driving, drowsy driving, wrong way driving, failure to obey traffic signs and signals, and drivers who looked at a phone. So when you look at this, Texas is not looking well at all.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Ranged second worst in the nation for two of the metrics, fatal car accidents involving a drowsy driver. and also fatal car accidents involving a driver who is driving the wrong way on a one-way street or the wrong side of the road reported the third highest number of drunk drivers involved in fatal crashes and it's the ninth highest number of fatal car accidents involving distracted drivers.
Starting point is 00:19:20 So then I thought, well, what are the other states that are really bad? Well, wouldn't you know? Oklahoma and Louisiana are on the list of top states. So Texas is number one, getting a score of 100 out of 100. Louisiana coming at number two. Louisiana has the third highest number of fatal car accidents involving distracted drivers, eighth highest number of drunk drivers,
Starting point is 00:19:54 10th highest number of fatal car accidents involving a drowsy driver. Coming in at number three, Kansas. Kansas. I mean, who likes Kansas anyway? Okay, stop it. I'm just talking about the college, the Jayhawks, okay? Not the actual state. Kansas is the second highest number of fatal car accidents
Starting point is 00:20:14 involving a distracted driver. Third highest number of fatal car accidents involving a driver who disobeyed traffic signs, traffic signals, or a traffic office. and is the fourth worst date of a fatal. Who doesn't follow a traffic officer? I mean, if the officer is right there, you deserve to get ticketed.
Starting point is 00:20:35 I hope you don't hurt anyone. Oklahoma. Oh, Oklahoma. Where's the way? Cross the blades. It's number four. And Kentucky is number five. Kentucky, wow.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Kentucky has the fourth highest number of fatal car accidents involving a distracted driver. Eighth highest number of fatal car accidents involving a drowsy driver. Ninth highest number of fatal car accidents involving a driver who was driving the wrong way on a one-way street or in the wrong side of the road. But in Kentucky, it doesn't talk about anyone disobeying traffic signs, traffic signals, or a traffic officer. So they've got that going for them. At Desjardin, we speak business.

Starting point is 00:22:08 Well, Billy Shemir, dead at the age of 50. He was in prison. He died at the hands of a convicted killer who he shared a cell with. Now, he was serving life without parole for two Dallas, Texas murders. He is an accused serial killer.
Starting point is 00:22:31 They aren't saying who his cellmate was. in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Prison System, but he was found dead in the Caulfield Unit cell. He shared with an unidentified convicted killer. Now, WFAA out of Dallas, Texas is reporting that he was beaten and stabbed because he insulted his cellmate and his family. Now, he's in prison for killing a number of people. well, two for sure, life sentences for those two.
Starting point is 00:23:08 It's believed he killed more than that. So a lot of people probably aren't real sad about Billy Shamirmir, meeting his demise in prison. But anytime, anytime someone dies, it's sad, right? Right. So Billy Shamirmir, mere dead at the age of 50. then we have Joanne A. Epps
Starting point is 00:23:38 in Who Died Today? Joanne A. Ebs, 72. She was the acting president of Temple University. Interesting. Temple University. Don't look at me like that.
Starting point is 00:23:56 It doesn't say that. It doesn't say that. It says that it was an event. She became, ill on stage during a memorial service. She was at another memorial service for a university, for Charles L. Bloxon, the curator of a collection of African-American artifacts.
Starting point is 00:24:18 So she was at a memorial, and then she suffered a sudden episode. It doesn't say anything about that, okay? So don't even look at me like that. And I know what you're thinking. Oh, hey, Temple University. They made everybody get vaccinated. They required all their students, 18 and up, faculty, staff, contractors to be fully vaccinated.
Starting point is 00:24:43 But it doesn't say anything about Joanne A. Epps 72 dying because of that. So, so how about you, you don't worry about it, okay? Then we have Dale Mooney. age 53, pronounced dead at a sturdy Memorial Hospital in Massachusetts this Sunday. He was at Gillette Stadium watching the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots game, and there was a fight in the stands that he was involved in, and he was in this physical alteration, and he was punched in the head during this altercation, and then he just went down. and one of the
Starting point is 00:25:37 witnesses said it was really one punch that I saw and the victim got punched really hard on the side of the head and went down. He's a bigger guy, but he just crumbled. So how about we stop fighting at the stadiums like that? We see fights all the time.
Starting point is 00:25:54 I've witnessed them, in fact, in the stadiums. And the one guy who, Dale Mooney was a Patriots fan and the guy who hit him was wearing a Miami Dolphins, Jersey. Now, I know everybody is drinking. and having a good time. But let's just calm down a little bit on the violence at the stadiums, okay? I get having a lot of fun going back and forth. Your team sucks.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Your team's no good. How about that? Look at that. Now we're going to win. Hey, your team doesn't look good there. That kind of thing. All that back and forth during the game makes the game more interesting. But to actually get into a physical alteration over a game that you have no control over.
Starting point is 00:26:33 literally no control over that game whatsoever except i know that's your team and you are excited and you want to see good things happen but anything else you have no control over so it's just enjoying the process of the game down there on the field so very sad that dale moni dead at the age of 53 now let's go to canada shall we so according to this story uh 219 Canadians were euthanized by the state in 2021. They weren't facing imminent death. Huh. Now, 231 people changed their minds about accessing the state-sanctioned suicide program after being approved.
Starting point is 00:27:24 So they were approved, and then they thought, you know, I don't really want to do it. Oh, okay. 139 individuals under the age of 45 were killed or had their life ended through the maid program, the M-A-I-D program, which is medical assistance in dying program in Canada. Wow, just really incredible. So you look at all these people who decided, you know, I want to end my life. and there were 12,286 written requests for medical assistance and dying or, you know, made in 2021. The total number of made provisions, 10,064 individuals, 219 who had health, natural deaths were not reasonable foreseeable, with 9,000845 individuals being individuals whose deaths were reasonably foreseeable.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Okay, so these people thought that, I mean, they were really sick and we're probably going to die anyway sometime in the near future. So congratulations to Canada for keeping up that made program. Man, there's nothing that makes you prouder of a country than a country that you can go in there and have medical assistance in dying help you out. Congratulations. And you guys are great.
Starting point is 00:28:55 So rest in peace to all the people. who were assisted in dying medically in Canada. Congratulations.

You can always email the show, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. Happy to read your emails. I do see them all. I may or may not respond to them, but I do see them all chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Thank you. You know, and speaking of X, formerly Twitter,
Starting point is 00:30:52 I'm already paying for my blue check, okay? Which I had prior to when it was formerly Twitter that I didn't pay for, by the way. Well, I paid for by promoting their stupid social media site on every show. but I guess that doesn't count so we have to pay for that and now in this interview
Starting point is 00:31:15 that Elon Musk did with I think it was the same interview where he was talking with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu they were talking about AI and anti-Semitism and his plans, Musk's plan for X
Starting point is 00:31:32 formerly Twitter he said that X is moving to having a small monthly payment for use of the X system. Uh, calm down, Elon. Okay? You're already milking us enough. Calm down.
Starting point is 00:31:52 So apparently, he claims that X now has, I'm sorry, X formerly Twitter, now has the social network of 550 million monthly users. He also defended the criticism. that he and his social network spread hate speech and anti-Semitism after he threatened to sue the Anti-Defamation League and made disparaging remarks about George Soros. Yeah, I mean, stop it. I mean, there's always, this whole hate speech thing is out of control.
Starting point is 00:32:26 But, you know, if you say something that somebody doesn't like, then it's hate speech. Oh, is it? Okay. So according to Musk, he said that we have 550 million monthly users that generate 100 million to 200 million posts per day. Now, he did not disclose how many monthly users are authentic versus bots. I know he's a big concern over bots, and I understand that.
Starting point is 00:32:56 According, when it was Twitter, they had an average of 229 million active users. So we'll see what happens. How about we just ease up on the whole monthly payment thing? I mean, I'm already paying for the blue checkmark, okay? So why don't you just take it easy on the whole monthly payment thing for X? That might put me over the edge. I don't know. I mean, I love it.
Starting point is 00:33:25 I do like it. Everybody, I say everyone. Many people in this business use it. I like reading the stories. I like the information. We're getting information from around the world that we're not getting on any of the mainstream media's on social media
Starting point is 00:33:41 and specifically X, formerly Twitter. But, you know, Elon, let SpaceX and Tesla, you know, make your couple hundred billion a year and then, or your worth, I'm sorry, that's not yearly, Jeff, no, I know. And, you know, we just kind of take it easy
Starting point is 00:34:01 on the old X, formerly Twitter, okay? All right, thank you. Okay. So where is Gatorland? I want to know. One of my favorite places on the planet, Gatorland in Kissimmee, Florida, just, I mean, it's almost Orlando. It's part of Orlando in Kissimmee, Florida.
Starting point is 00:34:19 And they, I didn't see them mentioned in this story at all. So there's a gator that we're supposed to feel sorry for, which I don't, by the way. But there was a gator that got caught in a trap and had the top of its snout cut off. And it had to have been some kind of trap because it is a straight line cut off. So you see the gator, there's a picture of it, and it's completely off. So it's the entire gator, bottom jaw, top of the mouth, completely off. Okay. And it looks really strange.
Starting point is 00:34:50 I'm sure it's very hard for him to eat. The upper jaw is gone. And they say that he's out there. He was eating just bugs landing on his tongue, that kind of thing. And he has been finally caught by a place called Bear Warriors United. I guess that's a non-profit environmental group, and they caught the gator and planned to take it to a care facility. I'm sure that they can give it a fake, you know, upper jaw
Starting point is 00:35:20 and make it, you know, give it cute. Why isn't this happening at Gatorland? Why isn't Gatorland saying, hey, bring them over? We'll take them. We'll give him the rubber made or the metal or the plastic or whatever kind of the titanium, Top jaw from, you know, that's, Apple can pay the bill with their new titanium phone. He's got the new titanium phone jaw.
Starting point is 00:35:45 And it could be the Apple iPhone titanium jaw gator at Gatorland. Why isn't this happening? And I almost feel, you know, they tried to make me feel sorry for the gator in the story. Oh, he got caught in these traps and we're working to get these traps banned. Okay, so I'm sorry that the gator got caught in. the trap. But he didn't get caught in the trap. He got out of it because it didn't go all the way through.
Starting point is 00:36:12 It just cut off the upper draw. So if we're not going to catch it and take it to a particular place and give him the titanium upper jaw, then why aren't we just out there saying, there's plenty of gators in Florida, by the way. Overwhelming amount of gators in Florida. Why aren't we just? And that's the end of it.
Starting point is 00:36:37 But no, we're not doing that. So I go back to my first question. Where is Gatorland? You know, we talked about how Dion Sanders is making all this money, selling his sunglasses and whatever else he's promoting because Dion is, you know, prime time, right? But he's definitely turned the Colorado Buffalo football program into something to watch.
Starting point is 00:37:02 That double overtime on Saturday that they ended up winning 43, to 35, had 9.3 million viewers, making it the most watched late-night college football game. In the history of ESPN, the game had a peak of 11.1 million viewers. That probably went away after the first overtime because I know I was close. I would never do that, though.
