Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Well, now I'm going to have to go check in my garage because I believe I have one of these. More than a million Igloo Coolers have been recalled

due to finger amputation concerns and other safety issues. I think I have one of these in my garage as we speak. The Texas-based company, Igloo, confirmed that it would be pulling igloo 90-quart flip-and-toe rolling coolers. Love them. Manufactured before January 2024 in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, of course. The toe handle of the recalled 90-quart flip-and-toe rolling cooler can pinch consumers' fingertips against the cooler, posing fingertip amputation and crushing hazards.

Oh, okay. Well, I'm not a fan of that. I'll tell you that. So the website, the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website, said that around one million of the products have been recalled in the United States, 47,000 units in Canada. I mean, I let them have their own igloos in the fingertip amputition issues, and 23,000 units in Mexico were recalled. And we've received 12 reports of fingertip injuries, including fingertip amputations, bone fractures, and lacerations. So, if you have one, I would stop using it immediately. The recall includes more than 60 different models. Okay, they came in a variety of colors.

And for more information on the product recall, you can visit this CPSC, website or you can go to Igloo's website. I'm sure they have it as well. It was sold, you know, all the big stores, Costco Target Dix. And between January 2019 and January of 2025, customers were also able to purchase the products online on the Amazon and Igloo Coolers website as well. So you should stop using them immediately. Now, you can contact Igloo and check the date code under the cooler alongside the image that's on the bottom of the cooler. So if you have one, stop using it.

And then they are going to be really nice and allow you to register and for a free replacement toe handle. So that's special. Now you can contact Igloo. They have an 888 number or you can go to the website. Igloo 90QT Recall. It's just that simple. Or you can dial 888943-5182.

And, I mean, you could do that. That would be easy. Or you could just go to the website. Igloo 90QT Recall. Dot expert inquiry.com. And then you'll be able to register and get yourself a free replacement handle for your cooler from Igloo. that, I mean, you don't want your igloo 90-quart flipping toe rolling coolers to have your finger amputated, the tip of your finger, not your entire finger.

So if you have the 90-quart flipping toe rolling cooler, stop using it immediately. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. You know, I remember reading about this couple, and maybe we even talked about it at one point. There's an English couple, I'm sorry, a couple from the United Kingdom, who were motorbiking, motorcycling across the globe. They were going to go all over the globe and Australia as part of a positive psychology mission. And they were told, hey, you know, you might have a problem riding through Pakistan and Iran.

You might want to rethink your plans. Oh, no. We'll be fine. Well, they were arrested in Iran, and they were monitored with the cooperation of security agencies, and they were arrested. Yet, they, Iran, believed that they were doing this trip under the guise of investigative and research work and have collected information in several provinces of the country, and so they are being detained because of covert intelligence services, hostile and western countries. Oh, okay.

So, according to Iran, the connection of these individuals with several institutions affiliated with intelligence services has been confirmed. Oh, all right. State media published a photograph reportedly showing a couple meeting with the UK's ambassador to Iran, Hugo Shorter, last Wednesday. So, okay. Now they're arrested. I will say this if you're planning on going to, I don't know, Pakistan or Iran for a vacation, maybe you ought to think twice. That's all I'm saying.

I mean, they said they were going to visit these provinces and they were told, yeah, you know, you ought to think twice about visiting some of these places. They're not safe. Oh, so it doesn't matter. We're on a motorcycle trip, I'm sorry, a motor biking trip. and we want to be a positive psychology mission. Yeah, they don't believe that. And we were told, maybe you ought to not go there.

So there's a travel ban. Well, I don't know if there's an actual ban. They just say, hey, maybe you ought to not travel to Iran because of the risk of arrest, detention, and a death sentence. So maybe you ought to not go there. And it's specific provinces that have issues inside Iran. I got it. I mean, it's the entire country.

Their, you know, revolutionary guards have arrested dozens of foreign visitors and dual nationals in recent years and mostly always on espionage and security-related charges. So I know that, you know, other people are after, Iran is trying to win. concessions from other nations through arrests. Yeah, yeah. Maybe that's why you don't go there. So anyway, if you are friends or know anyone that is going to go on a motor biking trip around the globe for a positive psychology mission, you know, help them out and say, hey, why don't you not go through Pakistan and Iran? You can have a positive psychology mission and not go through those two countries.

Huh? How about that? Now, was the couple working with the government? I don't know. I doubt it. I'm sure that they met with the ambassador to say, hey, we're on our positive psychology mission ride around the world. And, you know, we wanted to say hello and say, hey, we're in Iran now.

You know, is, were they covert spies? I doubt it. But the point is that there are times when you think, man, I would love to take a motorcycle and. just ride through Iran, now is probably not the best time. And what about Pakistan? Yeah, you know, those two countries, maybe you just leave them off the list. What do you say?

And I'm sure that the United Kingdom is doing everything they can to get their citizens back, as they should, because, you know, personally I don't believe that they're spies. But even if they are, they, for the United Kingdom, maybe you ought to pick a better couple to do it instead of, you know what you should do is we'll pretend that you're on a positive psychology mission and you can motorbike around the globe and then we can use you to spy on what's going on in Iran. What do you say? Let's do that. I just don't think that actually took place. But you never know. You never know. Do I think they deserve to be in prison? No. But again, don't go motorbiking

into Iran or Pakistan. I think that's a good rule of thumb for anyone. You know, another good rule of thumb is if you're trying to buy or sell a house, you want the best real estate agent you can find. And you need to go to real estate agents, I trust.com. Yeah, I know, I know. Any time that you have to make a big change, it's hard. And that's even more true when you're planning to buy or sell a home.

So you need a real estate agent to help you with all of this. But you don't want some real estate agent that just does it on the side. You want the best.

You know, I just said the phrase rule of thumb a couple of times, and I got me thinking, I wonder where that phrase came from because, you know, we all say it. I had good rule of thumb, but I'm sure it came from some kind of, you know, some kind of measurement thing. Well, then I looked it up, and according to the renowned Wikipedia,

the rule of thumb refers to an approximate method of doing something based on practical experience rather than theory. The usage of the phrase can be traced back to the 17th century and has been associated with various trades where quantities were measured by comparison to the width or length of the thumb. Now, then it goes on to say that it's linked to domestic abuse. Stop it. It's not. But I guess they tried to make some domestic abuse report that they titled Under the Rule of Thumb in 1982. And so, I guess somewhere along the line, a rule of thumb means domestic abuse?

No. No, it does not. No one thinks that. Stop using it that way. But I just got me thinking about Rule of Thumb because I was reading, somewhere the other day about April Fool's Day. And I have no idea

whether this is true or not, but it makes sense, which means that it probably isn't true. But according to this, in 1582, Pope Gregory the 8th, and that guy, I mean, he was awesome. Didn't he start the Crusades? Okay, so actually this story...

It can't be true because this story says that in 1582, Pope Gregory the 8th changed the date. But then I looked to see Pope Gregory the 8th, and he reigned way before 1582. And he did initiate the third crusade. That's okay.

So, but he was done in 1187. So he did not, and he wasn't Pope for very long, but he initiated the third crusade. And he did not live to, 1582. Okay, so anyway, according to this story, which we now know is false, but the story could be true, it just could be, you know, it could be attributed to the wrong Pope. So according to this, Pope Gregory the 8th changed the new year date from April 1st to January 1st.

Some people ignored the change and kept celebrating on April 1st. They were called fools. And this led to the tradition. of April Fool's Day. Again, if you go back to the all-seeing, all-knowing Wikipedia, they say that many theories have been proposed, but the exact origin of April Fool's Day is not exactly known. So it's all BS.

So never mind. Speaking of popes, though, I see where Pope Francis is still in the hospital, and they're saying now that he will be there longer than expected due to a complex clinical picture from a, respiratory tract infection. All right. I mean, that's what the Vatican said. I believe that's what we were reported yesterday as well. So that's just going to continue his stay in the hospital. I didn't know this about the old pope that he battled a severe respiratory infection in his youth,

leading to partial lung removal. He spent 10 days in the hospital in 2021 for colon surgery. He was hospitalized for three nights in March of 2023 for bronchitis and underwent hernia surgery in June of 2023. So I mean, they're monitoring him closely for sure. They don't want the pneumonia to worsen. We were fortunate enough to get an interview with the Pope. And I know, I know weird. I didn't want to make breaking news out of it and let you know that Chris Cruz,

we are our man on the street reporter here for CTF, was able to get over to the Vatican at, well, to the hospital that the Pope is in right there in Rome, and get in and we're able to, we're able to interview the Pope. Now, what I've done is I've edited out the question that Chris asked and the interpreter asking the Pope, but I'm just going to give you what question we asked and, you know, the Pope's response. So the first question that Chris asked was, hello, holy father.

good to see you and I just wanted to ask how you're feeling. I mean, I was hoping for a better answer than that. When we asked the 88-year-old pontiff, if the polymicrobial respiratory tract infection may mean a longer stay in the hospital, he responded. So then our CTF reporter, Chris Cruz, there live on the scene at the Roman hospital next to the Vatican where the Pope is having his stay. I wanted to find out how he felt about immigration and if he had changed his tune on immigration at the Vatican

now that he has reprimanded the United States and Donald Trump for taking action against the illegal immigrants. And of course, this was his response. and that's what the bishops came in and said hey get out of here uh you're bugging the nurses came in and you know they rushed chris out of the hospital and uh when as chris was leaving he had left his uh i had left his recording device on and uh everyone was screaming get out get out and you could hear in the background uh the pope screaming as well get much from the pont of, we hope that he gets better, that's for sure.

We're, you know, hoping and praying that the Pope does get better from his bout of bronchitis that turned into pneumonia and has the, you know, the respiratory tract infection. We want them to get better, no doubt about it.

Now, don't look at me like that. Of course I want him to get better. Sure, I ran for Pope in the past. Sure, they changed the rules so that I can't run any longer, but or ever again. But I could run again. Just, you know, just as a side note, they will tell me that I can't, but I could do what I want. It used to be anybody could run for Pope, and that's what I actually did run for Pope. I did not win. The White Smoke did not blow for me. But now they've changed the rules is that you

have to be a Cardinal, I think. You have to already be a Cardinal before you can be a Pope. And so that was because of me. I guarantee you that was because of my run for Pope. Anyway, yes, I want Pope Francis to get better. Don't look at me like that. I don't want the Pope to... I probably shouldn't have bothered him in the hospital with an interview. But I really wanted to get his...

You know, get his feelings. All right. Let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink desperately. Be sure to follow me on my social media at Jeffie JFR on X. Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook

For those of you thinking, gee, I wonder if the Super Bowl performances really help artists or not. Well, Kendrick now becomes

the first hip-hop artist to land three albums at the same time in top 10 Billboard 200 albums. So, yes, performing at the Super Bowl, I'll answer that for you. Performing at the Super Bowl helps an artist. So congratulations. The charts, the top 200

has been around for like 69 years. and no hip-hop rap act has had that happen. So he's got at least three titles in the top ten at the same time. So congratulations to Kendrick Lamar. And for those of you concerned about Shakira, I know. She was really sick. She started her world tour. She kicked off her tour last week in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.

But, ooh, man, she, after her performance in Peru, he had to cancel a show because she got really sick. She had stomach flu or something. And so she she's working on trying to schedule a new date for the show that was canceled. But she's back at it. Apparently the world tour will continue with dates in Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Argentina,

and more than a dozen U.S. cities, including Orlando, Florida, Houston, Detroit, Boston, New York, and San Francisco. So as of now, your Shakira tickets are still going You know, you never know, though. You never know. You never know when that stomach flu is going to kick up again, do you, Shakira? So hopefully, she won't have another issue on this world tour.

But, man, the people in Peru were a little pissed. I couldn't say I missed the show. Oh, and congratulations again are in order to the SNL, 50th anniversary special. I guess it hauled in 14. 8 million viewers. I guess that's good for Saturday Night Live and their three and a half hour special.

We'd love to talk, business. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Francisco Arrivala. Rivella dead at the age of 97. He was the inventor of Nutella. I know, sad day.

The inventor of Nutella has passed away at the age of 97. He was dubbed the father of Nutella by Italian media, and he helped create the world's most famous hazelnut spread. Now, it went through several different concoctions. He earned his degree from, in Turin, Italy, in bromatogical chemistry. Bromatogological chemistry. B-R-O-M-A-T-O-O-G-I-C-A-L.

I know I'm saying that wrong. I don't know where my girl is, but it's Bromatological. That's what it is. B-R-O-M-A-T-O-L-G-I-C-A-L. Bromatological. Chemistry, Ant-R-R-A-R-A. Anyway, he is the godfather of New Nutella is so dead at the age of 97. It's interesting how it went through different changes

until finally getting that special Nutella blend. It's made of seven ingredients. Sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts, milk, cocoa, lectin, and vanilla. And it's just the special right. It's not the ingredients, but it's the right mixture of those ingredients. So... Anyway, he has got three sons, a daughter, seven great. grandchildren, and he died at the age of 97, knowing that he is a fan.

He has fans around the world with the product that he invented Nutella dead at the age of 97. I mean, Nutella is not dead, but Francesco Revella, the guy who invented it is. That's the way that worked. Anyway, then we move on to another legend, Mexico musical legend, Pacita La Del Mario, dead at the age of seven. She was a man hater. Not really. She was a fierce defender of women.

And she died in her home at the age of 77. She faced apparently a number of recent health issues. Yeah, I saw a picture of her one of the last performances that she made. I don't know, back in, I don't know, it looked like it wasn't that long ago, but she's sitting on a chair on stage. So, you know, when you're reaching the point of sitting on a stage, sitting on a chair on stage, that's, you know, health is an issue. But she was a unique

and irreplaceable artist who will leave an incredible mark in the hearts of all who knew her and enjoyed her. Yeah, for years, guys wouldn't go to her shows because all she did was bash on them. But then she became this, you know, superstar. She's won a couple of Latin Grammys. She really, she received recognition across the industry. The Billboard Latin Music Awards, Lifetime Achievement Awards. She was not only a Mexican feminist icon, but just a feminist icon overall. So rest in peace to the Mexican music legend.

Pekida La Del Barrio, dead at the age of 77. I mean, her betrayal anthems? I mean, my favorite, a Rata de Stospata. and the three sveses and engage it. Oh man, those, you can't tear me away from those songs. You can't do it. I mean, her live performance of, uh, a rat des dos patas, uh, wow, I mean, you just,

you can't tear me away, this live performance. Paquita La del Barrio, Rata des dos Pottes. She's still standing on stage here, so, still a little overweight. but oh well you gotta be careful rat yeah

oh right you bastards you rat bastard bastard you rat bastard yes

ha ha ha ha ha ha oh thank about it much okay that's enough I can't take I'm not gonna do the whole song it'll just get me all wound up

A Rata des Dots Patos. A rest in peace. And don't look at me like you don't know who she is, because she's a Mexican musical legend. Paquita Al-Delbario, or was a Mexican musical legend, still is, in my eyes, dead at the age of 77. And we're still reeling from the polar vortex,

which has gripped most of this country now. And so we've killed at least 15 people, including at least 12 in Kentucky, one in West. Virginia who died from flooding and heavy rains. Wow. And now we're going to be faced with this life-threatening cold. So I would be very careful. I mean, in parts of the Dakotas, it's going to be minus 50. Maybe even colder than that, minus 60? I am not a fan. I am not a fan. It's going to be cold here in DFW where this show originates from. It's going to be down in the teens. I just want to be clear I am not a fan.

so I left Michigan as a child because I hated the cold. And yet here we go. I'm faced with this damn global warming. And we've got extreme cold warnings issued for 11 state swath of the U.S. stretching from the Canadian border to Oklahoma and Central Texas, where the Arctic Front is expected to bring near record cold temperatures and wind chills. Yeah. And I'm not a fan.

So be careful out there if, holy cow, if you have to, if you're out there and have it to go out into the weather. Be careful. Meteorologists have said, who knows, I'm a meteorologist. Do they get things right all the time? The answer to that is no. They said several states would experience the 10th and coldest polar vortex event this season. That's what we said yesterday. Yeah, it was the 10th polar vortex.

So I guess this is still tied to the same one. We're not adding a new one yet. So we're still experiencing the 10th. and coldest polar vortex event this season. So weather forces in the Arctic are combining to push the chilly air that usually stays near the North Pole into the U.S. and Europe. And my gosh, what fun we're having with it, aren't we? There's no need to answer that question.

So if you're going to use the company credit card, I don't know.

I would say buy something else, but you know what? I don't want to judge. I don't want to judge this person. All right. So a woman who's been indicted for spending more than a quarter million dollars, $260,000 on handbags using the company debit card. And people, she's being charged. I know.

A grand jury in Kansas City returned an indictment charging Kendra Gonzalez, 32, with using her former employee, what, they fired her? Using her former employer's company's credit debit card, not a credit debit card, but a company's debit card, to make hundreds of thousands of dollars in unauthorized purchases. According to court documents, Gonzalez was indicted on one count of wire fraud. That's it.

While working as a comptroller, officials said Gonzalez is accused of using the company debit card to purchase 150 luxury handbags from a social commerce marketplace or online buying and selling of secondhand goods, while working as comptroller. Okay, so she was buying purses online

using the company debit card. Got it. The company claims that she used the company debit card for unauthorized personal expenses, such as meals, entertainment, and hotel accommodations, and

to send money to other people. I mean, that's nice of her. She's trying to help people out. That's where they get the one. wire fraud from. So, let's see. Let's see in other indictments.

Oh, okay. They, this is just more, more cases that the, that the, U.S. attorneys, uh, is prosecuting for the FBI.

But so according to this, she was only indicted from the grand jury on one count of wire fraud. Wow. Okay. All right. So maybe it was worth it. She had some good meals, had some hotel rooms,

got a little, business, spent a little cash to money to other people, and then, you know, bought some purses. Life was good until they decided, what are you spending $260,000 on? Oh, nothing. Yeah, yeah, you did, and you're probably going to jail. And we have even talked about the airplane that crashed in Toronto yesterday. another airplane goes down. Fortunately, as of now, no one has lost their life. But you saw there was video of it crashing, and some of it was really grainy,

and you couldn't really tell what happened. There's a clear video that shows it coming in and hitting hard on the ground, and then it looks like the back right landing gear collapses, so it leans to the right. And then it looks like because of the wind that was available, the wind shear, there at the Toronto airport, makes it flip over.

The wind picks up the other wing, the left wing, and it tips over and capsizes and goes upside down. And it looks like everyone made it out alive. There were, you know, there were multiple serious injuries. But no one was, I don't know that anyone suffered an actual life-threatening injury, according to reports. Hopefully that remains true. But still, another plane crash.

And I know, you know, I have thousands of planes take off every day, hundreds of them fly over my house every day. It's still, it's starting to begin to think that, what the heck is going on here. You know what I'm saying? I know it's just me. I get it. I know.

Nobody else is worried. But it does make one start to ponder what the heck is going on. And, you know, I know it didn't happen in the U.S. It happened in Canada. But it was, I did originally. originate from the United States of America. And it was a Delta regional line. It wasn't Delta proper.

So all the Delta pilots are like, wasn't us. That was a regional one. Those are the underlings. Oh, okay. All right. Still, though. Still, though, it just makes one think, maybe I should think about, you know, flying.

But you know what? We get in our cars every day and there's horrible accidents that happen every single day. and you're just a snap away from a horrible accident on any interstate you drive on. And we get in our cars every day and we don't think twice about it. So, you know what? I realize that we should probably, you know, get on a plane without thinking about it as well.

But it doesn't work that way a lot of times, does it? No, it does not. Anyway, I'm happy that everyone is safe and on the ground and alive. Can we go back to the lady using the company debit card for a second? I just was sitting here thinking that she used this debit card to purchase at least 150 luxury handbags. And so why did the company at least try to sell them online to get some of the money back? I'm confused. Maybe they did.

Maybe they did. And they just don't mention it in this story. I get that they'd be pissed about the meals and entertainment and hotel accommodations and sending money to other people. I get that that's an issue. but instead of before we indict her, why don't we just try to sell the purses and recoup some of our money? Just a thought for me,

but, you know, just, I don't know, I just can't get it out of my head. She bought hundreds of thousands of purses with this, or a hundred of thousands of dollars worth of purses and was just for her use or was she going to try to resell them because she was buying them on this marketplace that buys and sells secondhand goods?

Was she going to try to resell them and recoup some of the money that she was using on the debit card that I'm sure she knew she wasn't supposed to be using it to make all these purchases? I mean, it's just a, I want to know more. And there's, there's not more there. So, all right, I'll stop. All right, let's do the joke of the day and get out of here. I will say tomorrow I'm going to do a joke of the day that is, we've got a man, he's making the family write jokes. It's the family that writes jokes together, stays together. damn it

and he's got he sent me his jokes to tune the fat at the blaze.com he's got the one from his daughter he's got one

from the neighbor he's got one he's just writing just a plethora of jokes they're all not great but hey every joke

can't be great but he's got people working on it and I like it I like it a lot this particular joke made me laugh yesterday out loud

and I thought about it a couple of times so I'm going to share it with you and then tomorrow I'll give you the family jokes from Ben. But today, I want to give you the joke. I still kind of laughing as I'm reading it right now again.

I'm really just laughing. So it comes under the heading of, you know, most Americans wouldn't know how to hunt their own food. And even if they did, there wouldn't be enough game and wild eatable plants to feed everyone. And so that's why we have, you know, the best agriculture industry in the world. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I got it. But the comment is, what if they close grocery stores and we have to hunt for our food?

I don't even know where little Debbie lives. Come on now. That's funny. That's funny. Because little Debbie, ah, you understand. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
