With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide.
So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come.
That's the powerful backing of Amex.
Conditions apply.
Blaze Radio Network.
And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
Sad, sad news for soda drinkers.
Drinking just two 12-ounce cans of soda per week can effectively erase.
the heart health gains made during exercise.
Holy cow.
This according to a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
I love the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Pharmacologists at the University Laval in Quebec City
analyzed health data from approximately 100,000 adults over 30 years
to find that the damage done by sugar-sweetened beverages can't be over.
with the average recommended workout quota, about 150 minutes every week.
So they're urging consumers to drop cane and a syrup-based sodas all together.
Physical activities reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease associated with sugar, sweetened
beverages by half, but it does not fully eliminate it.
Okay.
So the researcher said the marketing strategies of these drinks often show active people
drinking these beverages.
Man, do I hate those commercials.
It suggests that sugary drink consumption
has no negative effects on health
if you're physically active.
I suggest that. It doesn't necessarily say that.
The Canadian team noted that the two sodas,
every seven days,
could be considered relatively low by many,
uh, yeah, including, uh,
the host of this broadcast, yet still presented significant health risks.
so this is further support for public health recommendations and policies to limit people's intake of sugar, sweeten beverages, as well as to encourage people to meet and maintain adequate physical activity levels.
Yeah, we don't want to just tell you that it's bad.
We want to limit your intake.
We want to have that power over you.
And that is what's coming to a soda fountain near you very soon.
Welcome.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
So we have sodas bad for you.
And then we get the story that talks about 43% of adults worldwide, now living with obesity.
The world is facing a big problem.
A recent study from the Lancet suggests that one in eight people qualify as obesity.
In 2022, more than one billion people, 43% of adults, were living with obesity, according to researchers from the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration.
And I love the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration.
The number of adults who live with obesity has more than doubled since 1990.
And among children between five and 19 years old, the obesity rate has quadrupled, according to a recent report from the World Health Organization.
Wow. That data suggested that more than 390 million children within the age range were overweight in 2022, including 160 million who were living with obesity.
So this new study highlights the importance of preventing and managing obesity from early life to adulthood through diet, physical activity, and adequate care.
Out of the 200 countries, the U.S. ranked 36th in overall.
obesity. So be ready to be told what you can eat when you can eat it and how long you can have it.
Now, the FDA has come out with their new healthy logo, which means they're going to be able to
tell you, hey, this food is healthy and this food is not. So if you don't eat the food that has
the healthy logo on it, oh my gosh, could be the end of times. They have, they're going to roll out
the new logo as soon as this year for companies to stamp on the packaging of health.
Healthy foods.
Oh, that's good.
Because they want to clear up any confusion on what products actually should count as good for you.
The new symbol will follow a long-awaited update to the FDA's definition.
Oh, that's good.
Of what foods can claim to be healthy to eat under federal rules.
Yeah, I want the government to tell me what's healthy to eat.
That's for sure.
So around 3% of manufactured foods right now are currently allowed to claim their food counts as healthy.
to eat. Foods like raw fruits, vegetables will still automatically qualify to be healthy foods
and could use the symbol. Oh, that's so good. There's already regulation on the books,
but there's just not enough regulations on the books. But those regulations were established in the
90s, and they set the criteria for saying food is healthy. Oh, that's great. So we're just going to
reset that and make sure that you can only eat the foods with the healthy logo. That is a
So be ready for that.
Not only will you be told what you can't eat and what you can't eat, what's healthy and what's not healthy.
And if it doesn't have the FDA healthy sticker on it, you shouldn't be eating it at all.
And in fact, we'll let you know that with the app that since you use that to purchase foods at stores,
it will let you know how much of the food you purchased is healthy.
That's great.
The government is so helpful in that way, aren't they?
Why, yes, yes, they are.
So, did you see the rocket shoot off last night?
Really cool, a night launch from Kennedy, from Cape Canaveral.
It was awesome.
SpaceX successfully launched a manned crew eight mission going to the ISS.
And the liftoff was beautiful, and it looked awesome.
But I loved the countdown.
and the one announcer for SpaceX.
She got all wound up.
It was really cool.
Countdown, of course.
Go.
Five, four, three,
two, one, ignition.
Ignition.
There we go.
There comes the excitement.
Ambition is 0.0.0.
Oh, oh.
Oh.
Oh.
It's a point seven million pounds of heat.
Yes, I almost spit it out.
I almost took a breath.
awesome.
That was fun to watch.
If you ever seen a night launch in person, they are awesome.
And all the people living in Florida, I'm sure, you know, got to see it.
And I've seen them several times.
Living in Florida is really good.
So this is just another example of why the government can't get rid of Elon Musk.
I mean, they hate him.
They're going after his neurolinked, the brain.
chip company. They're going after Tesla. They're going after his paycheck at Tesla, but they can't
quite, they hate him because he bought Twitter and now it's X and they're all about him and they
just take him, but they need him for space and they need it for that SpaceX and NASA to launch
cruise. Finally, we have, you know, we've got the other companies that they've, you know,
contracted out that was sent to the moon that can't quite do it.
But Elon and SpaceX are definitely still launching rockets into space and will be up at the
International Space Station.
I think they're up there for six months.
So they're going to be on the ISS for six months doing whatever they do.
And I guess they're going to try to fix the small air leak that they found at the space station.
So let's hope that the astronauts on board the...
Commander Matthew Dominic, pilot Michael Barrett, mission specialist Jeanette Epps,
and a Russian Roskamos Cosmonaut Alexander Agrabankan, who is also acting as mission specialist.
This is the first mission to the ISS for all except for Barrett, who was making his third visit,
so they're going to be up there for six months and hopefully, you know, finding the leak and putting a plug in it.
And on top of that, it claims that they are going to be doing experiments with stem cells.
how they react in space and on degenerative diseases,
as well as looking at the cellular impact of microgravity and ultraviolet radiation on plants
with hopes that plants can remain an increasingly important part of nourishment during these lengthy stays.
They're going to be also experimenting with pressure cuffs on legs to see if they alleviate health problems,
including fluid shifts among astronauts in space, experiencing weightlessness,
with no gravity on the ISS fluids in the body tend to shift upward towards the head,
which can cause health problems with eye and head pressure,
something astronauts are all too familiar with.
So let's get to it.
Let's get them up there and get to these tests.
But first and foremost, we need to find that leak and either put a plug in it or
strap some duct tape over it, something so that the leak stops.
They claim it shouldn't be that big of a problem.
problem. Uh-huh. Uh, we don't believe the leak will impact the crew safety. Uh-huh. But the teams are
watching it. Yeah, they better be watching it and find some duct tape to cover it up.

Jeffy. So last week we talked about
the
billionaire
wedding that was
a pre-wedding celebration
in India
and they had
all those social media stars
and all the big time
money makers were all there
and he mentioned that Rihanna
was going to do a show there.
Well then I read about the Rihanna show
at the wedding bash
in India and people
were unhappy with Rihanna.
I know. You'd think that she got paid
six million
for showing up to this wedding.
You'd think that she'd want to put on
a, you know, less than
lackluster, less than
boring show.
Nope.
Not Rihanna.
People were unhappy with Rihanna's
performance at this
pre-wedding
celebration. Now,
regulars of Rihanna claim that
that's just the way she is.
She's been a lackluster performer
from the very beginning, and she has
worked on her performances. She's had no need to work on her performances because why would she
if you're going to pay her $6 million to show up and sing a few songs? So I'm just saying, if you,
you know, let's say you win the lotto. If you're listening live today, there's a powerball
drawing tonight, the 4th of March, 24, that has a jackpot of $460 million, $220.20.4 million cash payout.
I keep talking about the lotto because there hasn't been a winner. The jackpot's keeping
growing and then tomorrow Tuesday the 5th of March you have the mega
millions drawing 650 million dollar jackpot 308.6 million cash payout for those
drawings let's say you win one of those and you think to yourself you know I
would really like Rihanna to show up at my wedding I wonder if I could give
her six million dollars to show up would you expect a tremendous show or
would you just say oh that's Rihanna and it's gonna be a
lackluster and boring show.
I think for me, I'm spending that $6 million.
Whether it's a wedding or a pre-wedding celebration,
I want the performance to be less than lackluster.
But that's just me.
Sure, you get a few pictures.
You get a few posts for Instagram, which is Jeff Fisher Radio,
and Facebook Jeff Fisher Radio.
I get a few posts on X at Jeffrey JFR, just me and Rihanna,
hanging out at the wedding, her getting ready to go on stage, that kind of thing.
But, you know, do I get to post it on YouTube chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher?
Yeah, I get to post a little bit of that on my YouTube channel.
Do I get to, do I say, hey, Rihanna, why don't you buy a cameo from me at Jeffrey JFR?
I just paid you $6 million for the performance.
Why don't you go on cameo and order a cameo from me?
Do that, would you please?
But I still say, I would expect, after all of that,
To even, I want a less than lackluster performance.
Again, though, I know that's just me.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cool to drink desperately.
So I see where Dune Part 2 delivered.
I did not go see it.
I really don't have a great deal of excitement to see part 2.
I will see it once it comes on a streaming platform,
because I did watch one on HBO Max when it was first released,
because the first one was released at theaters and on HBO Max.
This one was just theaters.
So they wanted to make at least 80 million.
They claim that it hauled in $81.5 million domestically,
178 million worldwide.
Pretty good.
They really, they needed to hit that 80 million mark on that opening weekend.
we shall see. All the reviews were really good.
I guess IMAX accounted for 18.5 million or 23% of tickets sales because those people all wanted
to watch the movie in the director's preferred 70mm format. And so they attended the IMAX
showings. They specifically talked about the one that they showed in New York at 3.15 a.m.
and that was sold out at 3.15 a.m.
just to see the 70 millimeter format.
Yeah, I'm, I don't know.
That's fine.
Would I like to go see it at, you know, at the IMAX?
Yeah, am I going to?
Probably not.
But they, the box office needed it.
And they loved it because the last big opening weekend was from Taylor Swift
and her concert movie.
So we still have Bob Marley, one love, his third weekend.
that captured 7.4 million
and another 8 internationally.
So that's up to 146 million worldwide.
It's pretty good for Bob Marley's one love.
And then you had the Chosen Season 4 episodes, which we'll see.
You know, they're streaming series in movie theaters.
Ordinary Angels, which is its third frame, a total 12.5,6 million.
And Madam Webb got 40.
million on his fourth weekend
that doesn't vote well for Madam
Webb and I also see
speaking of movies I see where
Disney is
considering a return for
Johnny Depp as Captain
Jack Sparrow
what I won't hear
of it yeah do you mean to think
that they need a hit movie
and the guy who was
the superstar for Disney
and the pirates of the Caribbean
that guy we're going to bring
him back, you betcha.
Now, the original story I read
said, well, it's a supporting role.
Oh, oh, okay,
yeah, it's a supporting role. He's going to
steal the scene just like he always
does, and it's going to be Johnny Depp is back
as Captain Jack Sparrow.
And a couple other show updates. I see
where Gerard Butler, it's
reported, is going to be filming a sequel to
Greenland. It's called Migration.
And that's confirmed to start filming in April.
You know, the first one was okay.
We'll see.
But this one, I'm sure, will be a way where they have to leave the bunker of Greenland,
which he finally got to.
And he, the wife and the family will have to find a heroic journey across the wasteland of Europe to find a new home.
So we have that to look forward to probably in 2025 if they're just now filming.
Now, there's no date on that.
And I see where John Hamm is reportedly going to join.
Taylor Sheridan's newest show, Landman, which is set in the boom towns of West Texas,
and is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs.
So it's based on an 11-part podcast, Boomtown Landman, is an upstairs, downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcats,
and Billy Bob Thornton is in it, and Ham is going to play a recurring role in the series,
which is already in production.
and so we'll see how that works.
It's Taylor Sheridan, so I'm sure it's going to be, for now,
anything that Taylor puts his hand on is gold.
So this is another gold series from Taylor Landman.
I mean, I guess Tulsa King, another Taylor Sheridan show with Sylvester Stallone,
they claim that season two has been in the works.
Season one was awesome.
I loved it.
But apparently, the reports are,
that Tulsa King's
Season 2, yeah, we're not going to be
producing that in Oklahoma.
I live in Florida now.
Sylvester says, I'm down living in Florida
and we can shoot it in Atlanta
if you want, but I'm not going to
travel out to Oklahoma.
So I guess that's the deal.
I guess they're going to shoot Tulsa King
season 2 in Atlanta,
not Oklahoma,
which is okay. I see where Sly
is pushing his new season.
of the Sly and the family, which is his reality show.
Incredible.
I saw an interview where they were pushing it.
What a great way to push it.
He had the wife and the daughters.
And he answered honestly saying that the reason that they were doing this season was for greed.
Yeah, no kidding.
Now, he laughed it off.
And the family of the daughters are all promoting that this was the best season ever.
Season two, they're more comfortable with the cameras.
and we opened up more.
But Sly was like, yeah, no, we did it for the greed.
We got rent to pay.
So the next time you think you hear about the reality shows, yeah, it's all that has to do with greed.

if someone close to you, call 18665331-260 or visit Comexonterao.ca.
Who died today? Who died today? Well, we'll begin with Chris
Martinson. Chris Mortensen, an award-winning sports
journalist or just, you know, an award-winning journalist. He reported on the NFL for ESPN for more than
30 years, had passed away this past weekend at the age of 72. He joined ESPN back at 1991, and he was
all over ESPN. And then he retired, or at least quit in 2016 when he was diagnosed with throat
cancer. So he's been battling that for quite a while now, and he obviously lost his battle with that
at the age of 72. Rest in peace, Chris Mortensen. Then we have Ann Whitfield, Anne Whitfield, star of
the movie White Christmas. The 1954 holiday film has passed away at the age of 85. Now, I'm told that
she is the last one standing,
or was the last one standing,
from White Christmas,
except for,
I guess there was,
there's an unnamed character,
an uncredited character
that was in the movie White Christmas
that's still alive.
That's what I'm told.
I haven't done my due diligence
on finding out if that's true or not,
but for now, let's just say that
no one from the movie,
White Christmas,
from 1955,
is still alive, except for that one uncredited actor.
Anne Winfield died at the age of 85.
Now, it says in the story that she died of an unexpected accident.
It doesn't say what it was.
It says that she was out walking her neighborhood in Washington,
and it was an unexpected accident.
Did she fall and break her hip?
Was she attacked by dogs?
Was she hit by an asteroid?
Was there a car that ran her over?
Did a tree fall on her?
I don't know.
What is an unexpected accident?
I don't know.
I want to know.
I want to know.
Just out of my own horrible mind, I want to know what killed Ann Whitfield.
In fact, we may have to just do a show what killed Ann Whitfield.
And we're going to have to see if we can figure out what happened, whether it was a tree,
a dog? Did someone run her down? Did she break a hip? We don't know. We don't know. It was an unexpected
accident at the age of 85, rest in peace, and Winfield. Then we have Paulo Taviani. Pollo Taviani, the iconic
Italian director, who, I mean, he and his brother made all kinds of films, Vittoro Taviani. He has
passed away at the age of 92. He died.
after suffering a short illness.
So it could to be that.
I mean, if it was that, they would have said something, right?
They just would, instead it's just called a, you know, a short illness.
Anyway, Apollo Tavion, dead at the age of 92.
He died of a brief illness.
Oh, I'm sorry, a short illness.
I mean, it wasn't an unexpected accident.
I just, the San Whitfield thing is bugging me.
I just want to know what the unexpected accident.
accident was. Okay, so it goes on to talk about in this. That's why I started digging around a little bit
because it's bugging me. All right, so she's up for a walk in the neighborhood. She suffers an
unexpected accident while on a walk in her neighborhood. Now, through the kindness of neighbors who
provided expert medical support, the family had the gift to say goodbye and express love and gratitude,
a gift we will always cherish. So they saved her life. The neighbors saved her life when they
got her to a hospital and the family was able to show up at the hospital and then she passed away.
So they were very happy about that and that's good. That's nice that they were able to say goodbye.
They still don't say what the unexpected accident was. Was it a heart attack? Was it a stroke?
Was it a hip? Was it a chunk of space metal? I don't know. I want to know what the unexpected accident was.
All right, one more thing that I guess is dead.
It's not really under who died today, but we're in the segment.
JetBlue and Spirit are ending their $3.8 billion merger plan after a federal judge blocked the deal.
Yeah, so it's over.
JetBlue said, hey, you know what?
We're ending our proposed merger after the judge blocked the deal, saying it would hurt consumers who depend on Spirit's lower fares.
So thanks, Judge, for watching out for us.
a consumer about blocking big air from getting together.
So JetBlue and Spirit are no longer going to merge.
And it was a bold and courageous plan,
but it just didn't happen because the judge said,
eh, no, not so much, not so much.
So rest in peace, JetBlue and Spirit.
I mean, they're still alive, just not together.
And by the way, they're all raising their prices anyway.
So I don't know that the judge has helped with that.
But, you know, okay, I guess even though they may raise their prices,
they still have the cheapest prices on the block.
That doesn't make them cheap.
They just means that they have the cheapest prices, comparatively speaking.
Speaking of, you know, being dead or at least struggling of the walking dead,
I see where Vladimir and Putin listed 14 U.S. targets in the U.S.
he would likely aim for in nuclear war with the West.
Really?
Do we believe that?
Okay, he claims that NATO and the U.S. are prepping to strike Russian territory.
If that happens, then he would say, and he said in his state of the union, that we have weapons and destruction of civilization.
They don't get that.
Okay.
So he listed, went on to list 14 places that he would nuke.
The Pentagon, all right, that's in Arlington, Virginia.
Naval Station in Norfolk.
Okay.
Comfort Suites Kings Navy.
Comfort Suites Kings Bay Naval Base area.
Okay.
That's in Camden County, Georgia.
Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.
Whiteman Air Force Base, which is in Nab Nostr, Missouri, M-I-Z, baby.
That's the home of the B-52 Stealth Bomber.
The United States Strategic Command,
I'm not sure.
Where is the United States
Strategic Command?
Is that in Nebraska?
I think it is.
Then you have
the VLF Array
Lula Lala.
It's actually Lulali, Hawaii.
And that's where a lot of the subs
are. You have the Kirkland Air Force Base
in New Mexico.
You have the Space Force,
Peterson Space Force Base in
Colorado. You have the Warren
Air Force Base in
Cheyenne, Wyoming. You have
the Air Force Base
at North Dakota. You have the
Air Force Base in
Utah.
You have Malmstrom Air Force
Base in Montana.
And you have the Naval
Radio Station, Jim Creek,
which is in Washington.
Okay. So,
we don't have
Central Command
in Tampa, which
would seem like a place that you would
want to hit. But
But, okay, I mean, it bodes well for Tampa Bay and does not bode well for any of these areas.
And plus, these are strategic bases around the country, which would be a huge fallout.
We don't want that.
And he's just threatening us.
Hey, Vlad, calm down.
Okay, calm down.
Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts.
So you don't have to.
bagged this season's Italian leather handbags.
Designer.
Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest.
Ooh, cashmere.
Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love.
Rushes 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.
You know, so I used to go to Panera bread quite a bit when I lived in,
when I lived in Tampa Bay.
We used to go there for lunch from time to time.
There was a Panera in South Tampa that I would go to.
Well, now, apparently Panera Bread is set to launch cheaper sandwiches,
abandoned dinner in the largest menu transformation ever.
Oh, okay.
They plan to expand its salad and sandwich options with the largest menu transformation ever.
I know I already said that.
It's in the story.
Including many items for less than $10 as it shifts away from dinner meals.
Yeah, that's what we went to Panera Bread for.
just incredible.
So the rollout at Panera's
more than 2,100 locations
is slated to begin April 4th.
We listen to thousands of guests
on our path to unveiling more than 20 new
or enhanced menu items
and are thrilled to bring these products
to Panera Bakery Cafes nationwide.
That's a good move on their part.
No question, because things are getting more expensive
and you might as well say,
hey, we feel you
and we're going to make things a little bit
cheaper and better just for.
for you. So I guess we're adding new items and enhanced recipes and it's going to be a little bit
cheaper at Panera bread. So that's not a bad move on their part. I used to their soup, their bread
soup, you know, the cup of bread soup was awesome. It's probably $100 now, but at the time,
it was not. I have not been to a Panera bread in a long time. Back of the day, that was one of the
few places that had free Wi-Fi, too. So you could go there and get a soda and get yourself a,
you know, a bread bowl of soup and sit there and work with free Wi-Fi. Not that I would
ever do that, but you definitely could have done that if you wanted to. So I see Caitlin Clark,
we talked about it last week. She did break the record this weekend. She became the all-time
leading scorer in NCAA Division I men or women. She passed Pete Mervis.
on Sunday was a big weekend.
It was awesome.
It was fun to watch.
Kind of anti-climactic, though,
because she did it at the free throw line.
So she tied it and broke it at the free throw line.
And while it's a big deal, and she's awesome,
it just seemed like it was, you know,
you wanted her to hit the,
you wanted to hit a three to break it.
And she was on fire for the game anyway.
They beat Ohio State.
She sets the record.
And she's, you know, the most prolific.
or NCAA Division I basketball history.
We told you last week she's decided not to come back for her final year.
Big surprise.
She's going to turn pro.
I don't know what, I think probably she's going to go to Indiana, they think.
You know, she'll get paid, you know, $100 million and well-deserved for her.
I doubt that it will be $100 million, but it's definitely well-deserved.
And I see how angry must LeBron James be?
I love this so much.
So LeBron James this weekend became the first player in NBA history to reach 40,000 career points.
That's, you know, it's a big milestone, and he's still playing.
And, you know, I guess he's waiting to be able to play with this son,
and so they can set dad and son playing on the same team, that kind of thing.
But he sets this record for the most in NBA history, and nobody cares.
Why?
Because Caitlin Clark became the all-time leading scorer in the NCAA Division I, men or women.
And nobody cares about you, LeBron.
He's got to be so pissed that the world only cares about Caitlin Clark this weekend and not LeBron.
I am in love with that.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
And the same weekend that Xavier Worthy set the fastest NFL Combine 40,
ever. He was, I mean, he was moving. His official time was 4.21. That's a combine record. I mean to tell you,
that is fast. That's one thing that you learn in sports is you can't teach speed. You can quote
me on that. You can't teach speed. Man, you can teach everything else. But if you are fast,
you are fast. And if you are not, you are not.
You can work on technique and you could make yourself maybe a half a second faster,
maybe not even a quarter of a second faster because of technique,
but that still doesn't make you fast.
And Xavier Worthy was fast.
So that's the NFL combine going on.
Another reason that nobody cares about LeBron, which is what I tend to like.
All right, I'll leave you with a thought for the day.
I read this this weekend.
And I thought, oh, that's interesting.
That's an interesting thought for the day.
And that's something to look at it that I've never looked at it like before.
Yeah, that's right.
So here's the kind of thought for the day for you, okay?
A belly button is basically a scar from when you got into a knife fight with a guy in a mask after being evicted from your first place.
Think about it.
