Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher I was looking at a new survey that I guess it was a initial quality study from JD Power and they asked 92,694 people

90 days after they purchased or leased a new 2025 model year auto what to bug them about their new cars and the number one answer. Think about it for a second. What bugs you about your car? Especially if you have a newer car. I do not.

My car is ancient in today's standards. But an unprecedented number of them said, cup holders. You can have all the fancy, smancy stuff you want on your car. You can sit back. and let it drive you around, you can have it automatically go from battery to gas back to battery again. But if I can't set my drink in the drink holder correctly,

I need a new cup holder. There has to be some kind of issue. So those cup holder difficulties are very concerning for the automotive industry. So it's a, I'm sorry, it's a touch point. Yeah, it most definitely is. So make sure you get it right. Car makers. Yeah, you can do all the fancy stuff you want,

but we want to be able to put whatever cup we want in our cup holder and feel comfortable that it's not going to spill all over or that it's going to fit. Well, some of us drink out of containers that it might not fit in the cup holder. So get it right. And which is a good thing because that's what people are pissed about with their new cars after they get it. Yeah. You know, what bugs you about it?

It's these damn cup holders. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. As long as we're talking about the automotive industry, I did not realize this. But within the first six months of 2025, and we've talked about some of the, these, Ford has issued more safety recalls than any other company ever has in a full year. Wow. So by the end of June, and if you're listening live today is the 14th of July 2025, by the end of June,

Ford had already issued 88 recalls, according to federal data. Ford says that nine of those recalls were expansions of earlier ones. Yeah, so you can't really count those. And 33 came as a result of an ongoing. audit of past software fixes. Can we still count those or no? Okay. But recalls have also involved issues like

fuel pump failures and EV battery problems. Well, I guess we can't count those, can't we? Yes. So Ford apparently is number one in the recall department. They're on it, though. They're on it. Because they said that they've added more safety personnel and testing

and that should bring its recall count down in the future. So those of you that were thinking about buying a Ford have purchased a Ford, just know that they're on it. And recalls should be down. Boy, it's been a long time since I've had a vehicle made by Ford. I was trying to think the last time that I had a Ford vehicle. And it was a long time ago.

I think the last Ford I had, I've had a couple of Thunderbirds really like those with the long hoods, you know, the seven, these Thunderbirds. And then I had a, we bought a Ford Taurus once. And I thought it was going to be a great car. And it really was. It was okay. Ford or Ford Taurus at the time.

And we, I mean, we drove it a lot. And then the transmission went bad. And they wouldn't replace it. And the guy said, well, it's going to be, it was a lot of money to replace the transmission. And apparently there was a recall, huh, even back then, on some transmission part. But the company would,

replace the transmission. They would only replace the one part. But once the transmission was gone, it was gone. That's just incredible to me. That's the last. Yeah, that was Ford Toursel. That was 100 years ago on that car. So if you own a Ford and, you know, or thinking about buying a Ford, be on the lookout for the recalls. Do you see the other big recall from Walmart? I know. I talked about it on my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. And I will tell you that it's a little concerning. The Walmart has the Walmart. The Walmart.

You're head it up to the Walmart? Yes, yes, I am. They recall the Ozark Trail 64 ounce water bottles due to serious impact and laceration hazards. Yeah, 800,000 water bottles. I know. So apparently, consumers will. attempt to open the bottle after food or carbonated beverages or perishable beverages, you know, juice, milk, whatever are in it. And you've left it in there too long. And you go

to try to open it up and boom, I will slam into your face. I don't, I don't recommend that. You don't want that to happen. They've, people have been injured. They've been struck in the face. Apparently, they've got at least a couple of people who have had a serious impact and laceration hazards and they now have vision problems at least in one eye from being struck in the face

with the top of their water bottle. So if you have a Ozark Trail 64-ounce stainless steel insulated water bottle, yeah, stop using it, take it back to the store. And maybe you like it,

maybe it works great. I don't know. They say that the model number is, they give the model number in the story, but then they tell you, yeah,

guess what that model number is only on the packaging it's not really on the water bottle so you know if you have the the trail logo on the water bottle yeah that's one of them so that's probably one of them just take it back it might not be the exact one because there's no way to tell you mean people don't keep the packaging of their water bottle that they bought a year ago weird so if you own a ozark trail 64-ounce stainless steel insulated water bottle You may want to take it back. All right. This actually is good news. Pizza Hut has officially launched a limited time promotion called two buck Tuesdays. So they're offering customers one topping personal pan pizzas for just $2 each every Tuesday at participating locations across the United States. I like it. Two bucks for a personal pan pizza?

Yeah, I'm in. I'm in. So the deal is available for carryout only and is limited to six pizzas per customer. I mean, that'll get you through the week. This offer is expected to run through all summer long. It started last week at Pizza Hut, and they reported that this was going to be a, you know, a great deal all summer because of overwhelming customer turnout. Yeah, two bucks for a problem. personal pan pizza one topic? Absolutely. I'm in. That's good news. Two buck Tuesdays at Pizza Hut.

That's a good deal. Now there are days when you don't want them pizza. And those are the days when you want to probably grill out. And the hardest part about cooking or barbecuing, whatever you're barbecuing meat, steaks, chicken, pork, you're tethered to the grill, right? You're hanging over the barbecue. It's hot. It's overwhelmingly hot since we're in the middle of summer. And sometimes you may even, you know, sing the hair on your face. Well, those days are gone. I got a chef IQ sense. And I'm ready for, you know, I'm ready to, you can put me on the Food Network right now. If they're willing to have me, I'll show up. No problem. The Chef IQ sense. It's a cooking sensor that goes into whatever you're cooking, and it's just like, it's a, you know,

a meat thermometer, but wireless and a whole lot smarter. It takes the stress out of knowing if your meat will come out good.

Apparently in West Virginia, a couple has given DUI a new meaning,

driving under intercourse. I'm sure it's not the first time that it's happened, but it is an interesting story. A couple in West Virginia was arrested after police pulled over their stolen RV and allegedly found the duo both in the driver's seat, totally nude. having drunken sex. Well, that's not really true.

Because when they were pulled over, the police, as they were being pulled over, the police saw them having sex while driving down the highway. But when the police showed up, they were both sitting in separate seats. And then they admitted it. Yeah, you know, yeah, that's what we're doing. So Shannon Bryant, 35, and Matthew McDunnell, 48,

were taking care of a little bit as they were driving through Bluefield, West Virginia. Now, I'm not really sure why they were originally targeted to be pulled over. Maybe they were a little weaving and wobbling on the road.

So they saw each other. The police said, yeah, we noticed that Brian was in the driver's seat straddling McConnell as the RV tore down the road. Okay. When cops opposed the driver's window, as I said, they were apart sitting in each other's

in one in the driver's seat and one in the passenger seat like nothing occurred. Now they were both highly intoxicated and Bryant, the man, said that, yeah, we were effing. He was proud of it. Heck, yeah, he should have been.

So they were out of the vehicle and then they could fast, both of them, and they were read their rights. They were naked. They were attempting to engage in sexual activity while driving. Who knew? That's against the law? The pair then scrambled into the opposite seats. Yeah, yeah. We got all that.

But then, of course, of course, when they searched the RV, they found drug paraphernalia, including a bag of white powder. They also recovered painkillers in a broken glass pipe that Bryant admitted McDonald had tossed out the window during the stop. He needs to shut his mouth. Yeah, we were at fun.

And yeah, she threw that out. Yeah, sorry. And I said here that the vehicle check using the V-E-V-N number and the registration also revealed that the RV turned a love shack had been stolen in Princeton, which is like 10 miles away

from where they were pulled over. Okay. So the disrode-dur charged with indecent exposure, drug possession, DUI, and possession of a stolen vehicle. Ah, that stinks. They're going to be in trouble for this. And McDonald has a prior criminal record and a warrant out for his arrest in Virginia. So now he's going to be in trouble for that.

I mean, you can't do anything anymore in today's world. You steal an RV, you get a woman, and you have some drugs, and you're having some sex, you're driving down the highway and then you get pulled over and the whole world has ended. It's just really sad. It's sad times in America. You can't even steal an RV anymore.

See? Drugs, man. Drugs will mess up your mind because if they were sober, they would have just stolen the RV and then waited until they pulled into a campsite and then do the drugs and alcohol and get your,

get your freak on. But nope, it was more exciting when you were high and driving down the interstate. Yeah, I know. I know. It's not fun now, though, is it? Nope. Okay, I'm not sure that it means anything to us for our day-to-day lives.

And I'm not talking about drugs and sex and rock and roll and an RV going down the interstate in West Virginia. I'm talking about the new internet speed record. It's been set in Japan. And they've broken the world record. for internet speed, hitting a mind-blowing 1.2 petabits per second.

Petibits, P-E-T-A-B-I-T-S, per second. That's a million gigabits every second or roughly 3.5 million times faster than the average U.S. internet speed. Okay, I mean, great. Do I still get to watch my movies, though? The record was set by Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology.

Love them. of the Sumitomo Electric who announced the achievement in early May. So I feel like we knew we did know about this already, but this how fast is 0.02

petabits per second? Okay. You can download the entire Netflix library in a second. Okay. Okay. That's great. So the team used a

special 19 core five optic cable instead of one, which allowed them to transmit data in multiple parallel streams across 1,800 kilometers. That's nearly the same distance from London to Rome. And because using that, they believe that distance did not negatively impact the speed. So that's kind of good.

Now, the other thing that's kind of a bummer about all of this is it's not available to the public. Okay, this was done in a laboratory setting. So is it going to slow down a little? Probably. Probably right now with the way they have it set up, you could download Netflix in under a second, according to them. So now, once you get it out of the laboratory,

you start working with real world and having real world problems, what it's going to take maybe 30 seconds. to get the full catalog of Netflix downloaded. That's unacceptable. What are we even? What are we even doing? If I can't download the Netflix library and under a second, I mean, what are we even doing?

Yeah, I didn't go see it either. Sorry. But it was. the number one movie. $122 million domestically. $217 million globally. Apparently they were unhappy with the global markets. I mean, yeah, only $95 million across 78 markets. Jurassic World Rebirth is still taking up some audience.

That's number two. They had $40 million domestically, which gets them to $529.5 million globally for Jurassic World Rebooth. Rebirth. Wow. I mean, the Superman movie, actually, that gets them, I think they're I want to say they're

tied. No, it's the third largest debut of the year behind Minecraft movie and Lilo and Stidge. So they'll be happy. I'll be happy as the third largest debut of the year behind

Minecraft movie and Lilo and Stitch. Okay. If you say so, if you say so, I believe you. Now, then you have F1 hanging in there at number three. How to Train Your Dragon. Elio, 28 years, Lilo and Stitch, still hanging in there. Wow, they are not over a billion yet, though.

$99.4.2 million for Lilo and Stitch. Seventh this week, not over a billion. Mission Impossible, the final reckoning. Still hanging in there at 8th. they are at 584 million globally for Mission Impossible Megan 2.0 is

9th Wow, this is like the third week for Megan 2.0 so it's still hanging in there though, just a little over a million. Materialists didn't break a million but they still number 10 so congratulations to the top movies for this weekend.

Superman and Jurassic Park battling it out for one and two so F1 the movie this is the third week for F1 and it's in third place. Jurassic World, this is the second week. It's in second place. Superman, first week and in first place.

So congratulations to all. Okay, how much would you pay for a 54-pound rock that's believed to have arrived here on Earth from Mars? It's known as NWA 16788.

That makes you proud. How much would you spend it for NWA 16788? So coming up this week as part of Sotheby's natural history theme to sale, you can try to buy it. It's going up for auction. They say that it's probably going to be between $2 million. I will let you know what it sells for, what it auctions off for. They also, part of this natural history themed sale, including, and I haven't been to Sotheby's website, I'll have to do that.

We'll talk about that tomorrow. They have a themed week, so they're going to have some pretty cool stuff. And one of the things that they have is a juvenile seratosaurus dinosaur skeleton that's more than six feet tall and nearly 11 feet long. That would be cool to own. I would love having that. Yes, that would be fun. That needs to be purchased so that it's here in the building that I broadcast from in Irving, Texas,

just out in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and I hope Mercury One purchases it, and I put it right here in the atrium of the Mercury Studios, so I can look at it every day. I want them to buy it just for my enjoyment. So the red, brown, and gray hunk of rock that's 70% larger than the next largest piece of Mars found on Earth. They're hoping to get about, you know, between $2 million dollars for it.

According to the auction house, the meteorite is believed to have blown off the surface of Mars by a massive asteroid strike before traveling 140 million miles to Earth where it crashed into the Sahara. A meteorite hunter, man, and you want to stay away from those meteorite hunters, or maybe stay with them. Found it in Niger in November of 2023. Okay. I believe them. Sure.

You got it. I believe you 100%. You found it in the Sahara. And look at that. It's a rock that arrived here from Mars that blew off of Mars and then traveled 140 million miles here to Earth. Okay. Sure.

You got it. I believe you. Here's some money. So, I mean, I'm not paying $2 million for the Mars Rock. Someone will, though. Someone will you can bet on that. I don't know what they want for the dinosaur, what they're going to get for the dinosaur.

Got to be at least $5 million for that dinosaur ball. It has to be. No way. Somebody gets that for under $5 million. And I'm guessing, I mean, they even underscore like, oh, we're hoping to get $4 million. Uh-huh. What they're hoping for is someone to come in and spend about $15 million on that bad boy, and that just might happen. So that'd be kind of cool, man.

They found it in Wyoming at the Bone Cabin Quarry, which is, they consider that the gold mine of dinosaur bones. And they assembled 140 fossil bones with some sculpted materials. Oh, so it's all not dinosaur bones. Some of it is faked. and the skeleton and then mounted it so it's ready for exhibit. Yeah, I mean, it would be really cool to have, even if every bone isn't real. You just have to, you know, pretend like they all are real.

You can do that. Just pretend. I spent $10 million on that thing? Yeah, I'm pretending. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here. Introducing the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus, powered by Peloton IQ.

Ray Stevens, a classic performer, Ray Stevens, you remember him from the, the strength. Greek song. That's probably his number one song ever. Yeah, they called him the streak. Don't look, Margaret. It was too late. She'd already taken a peek. I think it was Margaret.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. He apparently had a heart attack. He's not dead yet. 86 year old, he complained of chest pain, admitted in Nashville hospital. They did a heart catheterization procedure. And yeah, he had a mild heart attack. And, yeah, he had a mild heart attack. And go ahead, get up, walk around, get out of here. So good news. Ray Stevens at 86 years of age. Not dead. Yes, it's good news.

Gosh, darn it. Then we go into a long list of who died today. Who died today? Well, let's begin with Dave Cousins. Dave Cousins, a 70s rock legend, has passed away dead at the age. of 85. Dave Cousins, I think that's what passed away means, is dead, but so I've

put him together, passed away dead. Yeah, I'm going to use that. He's a founding force of longtime front man of the British Prague rock band, the Straubbs. Who could forget them? He has died at the age of 85, apparently.

This article says reportedly, so maybe he's still wandering around. I don't know. They claim that he passed away peacefully at Pilgrims Hospice in Kent on this past Sunday after a long illness. So I was trying to see

what that long illness was and I guess it was probably still cancer because it talks about this how he had a cancer operation, stent replacements, who hasn't had one of those, full knee replacement,

who hasn't had one of those, one of those. So it was the cancer. It was a cancer operation. Yeah, you don't want those. You don't want those. So rest in peace to Dave Cousins dead at the age of 85. Then we move on to Ultra Runner from Michigan,

who was just beginning her 102-mile mountain race here in the United States. Elaine Stipula has died. On the side of the mountain, into the Hard Rock 100 race in Colorado. Incredible. She's run all these races around the world. She's from Michigan right here, Farmington Hills, just outside of Detroit there. And this particular race was just another race for her. And she was a few hours into the race and then, no, we need to.

She's in trouble. Something's happening. They delivered CPR. They brought in the rescue people. and that did not help at all. Very sad. So rest in peace to Elaine Stipula, the ultra runner,

who died, you know, I guess doing what she loved on the side of a mountain, running this hard rock 100 race in Colorado. So rest in peace to Elaine dead at the age of 60 years old. Then this story really kind of hits home. And I'll tell you why, because I've always wanted a hyperbaric chamber.

Always. I think they're cool. And they help you. And they're good for you. Don't look at me like that. I want a hyperbaric chamber. So this Arizona physical therapist, Dr. Walter Foxcroft, who's now dead at the age of 43,

he was found at his health and hyperbaric business, Havasu, health, and hyperbarics. He's the owner. The firefighters responded to reports of a fire in his office, and the flames were caused by a flash fire, and the flash fire was in the hyperbaric chamber when he was in there. So he burned to death in this hyperbaric chamber.

I don't wish that on anyone. No. I do not wish that on anyone. Now, of course, could there be foul play at hand? We'll see. The investigation is ongoing. But I always wanted a hyperbaric chamber. I mean, you use it to get more oxygen, your tissues,

and it's good for you. But it's not good for you if a fire starts and no one is there to help you get out of the damn thing. So rest in peace to Dr. Walter Foxcroft, dead at the age of 43. Then we have Tom Newerth. Tom Newerth. I think that's how you pronounce his name.

N-E-U-W-I-R-T-H. He was a cinematographer who worked on many films and TV shows, but this story is highlighting that he worked on Cagney and Lacey. So what a great show that was. How can you forget Cagney and Lacey? uh he's dead at the age of a 78 he died at his home in manhattan according to a friend friend and producer and no cause of death was revealed oh so uh might have been that might have been something else having to do with that and uh so no because he was married so that's all he was married to

Karen Arthur, the TV director. So it couldn't have been, you know, that over there. But it might have been that. So, rest and peace to Tom Norworth, dead at the age of 78. Boy, I was thinking about Cagney and Lacey. I mean, that show was, I don't know, in the 80s. I think they, I mean, they had like 81 to 88.

Okay, 81 to 88, Cagney and Lacey. Two female police detectives. and you get their professions and their personal lives and it was Tyne Daily, Sharon Glass, Al Waxman, I mean, it was made for TV in the early 80s, man, and that's exactly what it was. It was one of those detective shows that, you know, I feel like I watched, I don't know that I watched all of them,

Well, I know that I watched a few of Cagney and Lacey's, but, wow, that was a long time ago. And in those years, 81 through 88, I was not a real into the TV kind of guy. A lot of music, a lot of, well, it's very possible during those years that I could have been the one being reported on stealing an RV and driving it around and having sex with some girl that I picked up. That's very possible in those years. And in fact, it may have happened, and I just don't remember 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. Designer. Handpicked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rush is too. and hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush.

Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals. We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. So congratulations are in order to Chinese scientists. They have delivered the world's first cloned yak via cesarean section in Tibet. So the calf was cloned using a somatic cell cloning method, where DNA from a body cell is inserted into an egg cell

with its nucleus removed. Duh. I mean, I'll explain this to you. Okay, so they've successfully delivered a clone yak. Good for them. And they bred it at the baby yak was bred at a breeding base in Damchung County, southwest of Tibet, also known as China's,

as Xinjiang autonomous region. So the China's Zeng autonomous region is just southwest of Tibet. Okay, that's great. So the calf weighed 73.9 pounds at birth, which is heavier than most yak newborns. I don't know if you know that or not. But most yak newborns are not that heavy.

And I guess it's in good spirits and good health, and it's good to go. Now, I'm not sure, I guess, need more yaks as livestock so they're breeding you know more yaks because they are vital to the local economy and ecology and they provide meat and milk

and transportation and fuel so yeah if they're doing if yaks provide all that then we need to keep it going keep them going so let's just keep making more yaks let's go ahead and use the DNA from a body cell go ahead and insert that into an egg cell

with its nucleus removed, and let's go ahead and start creating some yaks, and let's get right on that, shall we? Congratulations to the Chinese scientists for making that happen. Wimbledon wrapped up this weekend, and I know. The big names, you know, the big shows are the women's finals and the men's finals. And the women's finals, Iga Schweitec from Poland won. She beat American Amanda Anasmova. Anas Mova did not really look like she was up for the center stage.

She got her butt kicked. Sinner and Al-Karaz both battled it out for the men's and Sinner won that. The last seven grand slams, Wimbledon, Australian, Wimbledon, Wimbledon, 2014. They do the, they didn't mention the French. So it's Wimbledon, it's Roland. Anyway, these two guys have won the last seven grand slams. So they're pretty darn good, and there's a reason why they're one and two in the world at Wimbledon.

So I was looking at the Wimbledon schedule, and I guess I missed the TV airing of the boys and girls, singles, mixed doubles, gentlemen and ladies, doubles, the boys and girls singles, and then I know, I know for a

fact that I missed the quad wheelchair singles and the gentlemen and ladies wheelchair doubles quarterfinals. I know I missed them. I didn't see a broadcast anywhere. So those were happening as Well, congratulations to all of the winners for the different categories at Wimbledon.

I'm really bummed that I missed the quad wheelchair singles quarterfinals or any of the finals and the gentleman and ladies wheelchair doubles. So I really wanted to catch those that I had known about them. And then according to this, what you get paid as at Wimbledon, if you show up there, It does not say what the wheelchair people get. So, man's and women signals, you get first round is 66,000. Second round is 99,000. Third round is 152,000.

Fourth round is 240,000. Quarterfinals is 400,000. Semifinals is 775,000. Runner-ups is 1.52 million, and the winner gets 3 million. Those are all in euros at Wimbledon, of course. but so the winner walks away with what three, four, five, six, over six million euros. That's not bad. That's not bad at all.

The men's and women's doubles walk away with some cash. The winners get $680,000. Mixed doubles walks away with a little bit of cash. Very little, very little. Men's and women's. Oh, here we go. Men's and women's wheelchair singles. The winner gets $68,000.

All right, good. I like that. Okay, the quad wheelchair signal signals get the $68,000. All right. Now the wheelchair doubles. Wheelchair doubles get less than the singles at $30,000? Okay, come on. That's a rip-off.

And the quad wheelchair doubles gets $30,000 as well. So, I mean, they make a little money if they win. I don't know why they weren't televised. Maybe they were, and I just wasn't looking at the Wimbledon channel. That's very possible. I did see where at the men's final, somebody opened up a bottle of champagne, and they had to stop.

He was about ready to serve, and then all of a sudden, oh, no. No, no, no. Somebody popped a bottle, and they had to put everything on pause, and then the cork landed on the court. So the judge has got to alert the ball boy or girl or person

or whatever they identify as to go out and get the court because it's right out there in the court. Then they had to holler at the audience and then they had to reset the players and they were all ready to go and just threw everybody off. Through the whole thing off.

Very disappointing. So if you're going to open a bottle of champagne at Wimbledon, you got to wait until, you know, between games or matches or something. But now what's going on? All right, let's get out of here. I'll give you the joke of the day.

Sent to me from Brett he sent it to chewing the fat to blaze.com from Brett. Now, Brett is not taking responsibility for this joke. Brett says a friend of mine shared this recently. So it's a friend of his that came up with this joke. I don't know if, you know, it's worth a worthy joke. Brett should go ahead and just, you know, take credit for it. So what did Socialists use before candles?

I don't know. Brett, what did Socialists use before candles? Electricity? See, that's a thinking man's joke right there because, I know, you got it. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
