Hi, I'm Sophia Loper Caro, host of the Before the Chorus podcast. We dive into the life experiences behind the music we love. Artists of all genres are welcome, and I've been joined by some pretty amazing folks, like Glass Animals. I guess that was the idea, was to try something personal and see what happened. And Japanese breakfast. I thought that the most surprising thing I could offer was an album about joy. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Oh, and remember, so much happens before the chorus. Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. A haunted rocking horse is going up for auction at the end of the month. If you're listening live, today is the 24th of July, 2023. So you have until the 30th when it goes up for auction. A haunted rocking horse that is said to have moved itself from room to room over the years. the great-granddaughter of a medium

who has said to have used to help summon spirits in the early 20th century with the wooden toy she would the owner wouldn't use her full name and she cannot sell the rocking horse without warning potential buyers about its paranormal past the gray dappled pony

has been passed down through generations of her family but now her 10-year-old daughter is like, no thanks. I don't want to write it. I don't want to play with it. I leave it over there. In fact, lock it up in a room where it can't move.

There's been reports of it moving from room to room, making noises throughout the day. Apparently, the grandfather, during some seance, had a young girl named Angela that he brought back, who was playing on the toy horse. And now the girl, Angela, apparently, is the spirit. And that's who's rocking the horse and moving it throughout whatever house it's in. So she is now giving up her spiritual ways and moving toward Christianity

and says, I don't want anything to do with this rocking horse. It looked like a really well-made rocking horse. It would be really expensive. today's world so apparently it's up for sale for about 300 bucks so if you're taking a shot on wanting the the haunted rocking horse for your children or your grandchildren you can find it at the auction house's website and you know make a bid on the old on the old uh haunted rocking horse the Canterbury Auction Galleries has it up for auction.

You could probably get it for about $300. So enjoy the Haunted Rocking Horse. Someone should buy it and give it to Camilla. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So a McDonald's has lost a lawsuit. A McDonald's in Tarmac, Florida, down there in Broward County.

A South Florida jury has awarded $800,000 in damages to a family who claimed the little girl was left severely burned by a scalding hot chicken McNugget purchased at a McDonald's. In 2019, this lady ordered food from a McDonald's in Tarmac, Florida. She ordered the food at the restaurant's drive-thru and handed her daughter a six-piece chicken McDonald's. Nuggets, happy meal. The child was a little four years old at the time, dropped to one of the chicken nuggets onto her lap, and it got wedged between her car seat and leg for about two minutes. The hot nugget burned her thigh, leaving the girl disfigured and scarred. The parents of the girl sued McDonald's and of the Florida franchise upchurch foods,

And they were seeking $15 million in damages. So she has a scar on her inner thigh from the unreasonably and dangerously hot McNugget. The parents said their daughter, who is autistic, suffered emotional distress. The lawyers for the family said the temperature of the McNugget was above 200 degrees. The nugget, according to McDonald's said, or the defense, really, more than 160 degrees. The defense contended that the hot food is cooked to 160 degrees to avoid salmonella poisoning. It's not meant to be pressed against human flesh for two minutes.

Okay, well, girls' parents proclaimed that the fast food chain of franchise owner failed to warn customers about the dangers of hot food. Are we really failing to warn people about the dangers of hot food at the danger of hot food at arrest, I guess so. I guess so. Don't forget about the coffee lawsuit. The lady spilled coffee on herself. And she didn't know that coffee was hot like that when you order it. And so when she spilled it on her, she burned herself. 2.7 million she got. So this particular case did not find McDonald's negligent. They found upchurch foods liable for negligent. so they decided that McDonald's was liable for failing to produce instructions for the food that could have prevented the girl's injury. But upchurch is to pay the $800,000.

So the next time you go through a drive-thru and you order food that's expected to be cooked, don't you think to yourself, I wonder what hot food is going to be like. They don't tell me on the box. well now they better be telling you on the box or there's going to be a lawsuit okay all right i'm sorry the girl got burned i am and maybe they should have just cut a deal and said we're sorry here's you know half a million dollars and take care of your child please we didn't mean for your child to get burned maybe you shouldn't have just given it to your daughter who's autistic

and said here you go here's a fresh box on a happy meal and i'm just not going to make make sure that it's hot or cold for you. Just here's the box. So you take care of it. Just do whatever you want to do with it. Maybe we shouldn't have done that. But you can't have personal responsibility involved in anything today. So only $800,000 for the family from Upchurch and McDonald's really doesn't hold any liability.

They just should have made the franchise is more readily in tune to what happens to food when you cook it. All right, let's stay in Florida. I'm actually down in southeast Florida. Again, Miami-Dade County judge set bond at $15,000 for this teenage girl who went to rent-a-hitman.com and tried to hire a hitman to kill her child. Now, as horrible as that sounds, and I don't want people killing their child. I just don't want it to happen. But she goes to rent-a-hitman.com.

which, you know, is just amazing to me that this website exists and people think it's real. But they do, and the website states, our expertly trained field operatives are dedicated to providing a complimentary consultation to help you discover the perfect solution for your unique situation. So this girl requested a hitman to kill her three-year-old son. Wow. The mom reportedly sent photos of her son to the fake hit man and provided the exact location of where the toddler was going to be when she wanted the child killed. So sad. So the website owner notified Miami-Dade police on Tuesday about the woman attempting to arrange the murder for hire plot of her young son. The ability to research names and addresses and verify the intended target lived in a particular address. That is a, you know, red flag. If that information is cooperated, that's something that needs to be looked at, and that's why I referred it. Thank you. So police traced the IP address of the computer that was

used to make the murder for hire request. Investigators posed as the hired hitman and contacted this girl. Police said she agreed to pay $3,000 for the hitman to murder her son. And she allegedly provided a fake name for herself and also had a safe word of Put Me and Coach. She reportedly told authorities that she wanted to have her kid killed to get something done once and for all. She asked for her son to be taken away, far, far away, and possibly be killed. ASAP. So instead of reaching out and trying to help this girl, we're just going to arrest her. Wow.

Okay. So now the daughter moved out of the home in May, lived with her father. The toddler's been living with the grandmother. The mother would have video conferences with her. son daily. The grandmother confirmed her grandson was the boy in the photo provided by the girl. She later arrested at her father's house

and provided a confession. So she's not that smart. I mean, Rent-A-Hitman has led to 150 arrests of people who wanted to hire an assassin. So just a helpful hint from chewing the fat.

Don't go to Rent-a-Hitman.com if you want to get someone killed. I'm not sure what website to go to. I probably should know that, and I apologize for not knowing which website you should go to to hire an actual hitman. But I'm sure you can find it. Just don't go to rentahitman.com.

I find it interesting, though, that Mr. Rent a Hitman website, instead of reaching out and trying to provide some help to the people trying to hire a hitman, he then, you know, finds the information, turns it over to the authorities, and they immediately go to arrest the person and put them in jail for attempting to arrange this murder for hire plot instead of trying to help them out with some of the issues that they may or may not have. I just, you know, whatever, I know. It's a terrible thing.

and it's horrible and why would she want to kill her son? So there's got to be more to the story than just this. But it just drives me insane that we're just going to... Yeah, we arrested her. What we did is we reached out to her again and told her we were the guy. We had somebody for her. So where do you want me to kill your kid? Well, of course she's going to say yes.

She's already reached out to rentahitman.com. She believes it's true. I just... I know. I know. I know. I know, I know. Just stop looking at me like that. All right, let's go to the break room because I can.

I just, you know, instead of trying to help this girl, we're just going to arrest her and put her in jail. And maybe she'll get the help that she needs there. I find that hard to believe. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. If you'd like to contact the show, you can always email the show, Chewing the fat at the blaze.

I also, you can follow me on Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, and you can follow me on Twitter, which I guess is now X. So he announced that no longer, and by he, I mean Elon Musk, announced that they're going to no longer use the iconic Bluebird logo.

And Twitter is now going to be, X, the domain name X.com, which redirects everybody to Twitter. I know that he wants to create a super app, and that would include instant messaging, social media, payment methods. He likes the way we chat from China works, and so he may be trying to do just that. My favorite picture, though, is when they announced the launch of X and X was up on the side of the Twitter building in San Francisco. They still had the Twitter sign.

on the building with the blue bird and you know for the corporate headquarters so not real sure if it's actually real or not so I don't know if you can still tweet or if you're just Xing but either

way Elon said that you know Twitter is now X so you can follow me on X at Jeffie JFR so tomorrow the bag of millions drawing happens for 800 and it

20 million dollars 422.0 million dollars cash payout the power ball spit on the power ball which is today 28 million dollars 14.5 million dollars cash payout I mean we could all use that

we joke so much about spitting on 28 million but why that'd be pretty sweet you see where they thought that they had a winner for the billion dollar powerball winner in LA and this lady came in the store and you know all the paparazzi were there people were with there with their phones they were all there because the store got a million dollars for selling the winning ticket and they were all happy about that

and then this lady showed up and was screaming and hollering getting a picture taken but she didn't have a ticket and the granddaughter and the owner of the store was like I don't know that person and I think the claim was fake because she didn't have a ticket. I've never seen her in the store before and she just wanted to get TV time. Why is this woman overcome with emotion? Does she hold the winning powerball ticket worth more than $1 billion? Hey, wait, wait, wait, can we talk to you for just a second? Hey, wait a second.

Hang on. Honey, I can't. I'm scared. Are you sure? Are you sure? Whatever the case? Yeah, whatever the case, she wasn't the winner. I know they were airing that on KTLA.

And they were doing a big live shot from the store. I'm not sure if that audio was directly from them or not. But they definitely showed her getting all the love and attention. And she wasn't the winner. So she just needed a little TV time. So the winner is still out there somewhere. And the big winner at the box office this weekend was Barbie. Yes, according to the Hollywood Reporter,

$162 million opening weekend. Oppenheimer snagged $82.4 million. I have not seen either one, either one. But I'm going to see Oppenheimer today. My son saw it this weekend. He must see it again. So he's like, let's go. So, okay.

All right, let's go. let's add to it. I'm going to go see Oppenheimer today, so I'll give you the Oppenheimer review tomorrow. I will not see Barbie today. Sorry, I know. I know, dry your eyes. It's the biggest domestic start ever for a

movie directed by a woman solo or otherwise. Wow. The Crown previously belonged to Patty Jenkins Wonder Woman, which started off with 103.3 million domestically in 2019.

than Anna Bowden. Oh, and she co-directed Captain Marvel, which opened for $153 million. So congratulations to Barbie. We'll see how it holds up. We'll see how it lasts. I have a slight feeling that Oppenheimer may outlasts, Barbie, but you never know.

I'm seeing it on the big screen, but I don't, I'm not seeing it on the 70-millimeter I-MAC screen. So I'm not seeing it the way Christopher Nolan wants me to see it. Sorry about that, Chris. I know you said that's the best way to see it. Obviously, you want me to see it any way I can, but I know the best way to see it, obviously, is 70mm on iMac screen. I mean, you have to do that. Yeah, there's only like 19 of them in the country, and they're all sold out. So, and I'm not traveling. So we're going to see it right here at DFW on a large screen. You know, the big XD screen, so that's the best I could do today.

sorry, I'll give you the review tomorrow. Then I watched some new TV shows this weekend. Special Ops Lioness started on Paramount Plus, which was pretty darn good. Now it dropped two episodes, the first two episodes, and then we have to do one episode a week on Paramount Plus. I know, I don't make the decision. It drives me insane to have that happen.

But as always El Dada stars in it. Nicole Kidman is in it Lucille de la Vieiro is in it I mean she is awesome in it and it was really fun the first the opening scene was great so it was really good I ended the

Bear season two on Hulu FX and really good season two was probably better than season one I didn't I hadn't made it through I watched you know just one or two episodes and I had made it through when people were asking me what I thought

of it and I really didn't think much of it the first couple of episodes but I watched the entire the rest of the season this weekend it was really good season two of the bear probably better than season one and it was really good and then Joe Pickett has one episode left after this week never ending but the season finale of Joe Pickett's season two is next week on Paramount Plus, we found out that Yellowstone is probably not going to see. I mean, the end is where we're at now. But I guess CBS bought the rights to air Yellowstone now in the fall. So I don't know how they're going to work.

I don't know how they're going to work a lot of the curse words and some of the nudity and the big guy parts of the show, a lot of F bombs. So we'll see if CBS lets it fly. I doubt it. I wouldn't want the F word on network television. That would be horrible, wouldn't it? And my wife started watching a show called Away. It's a couple of years old now.

I just hadn't seen it with Hillary Swank. And it's about an American astronaut struggling with leaving her husband and daughter behind to embark on a dangerous mission with an international space crew. She said it was really good. She really enjoyed it. So I'm going to have to sit down. watch away and I'll let you know how it is. And then, of course, the season finale of Talking of Walking Dead

City was this past weekend. You can listen to the special edition of Talking Walking Dead with Jason Buttrill and Maximus Fisher, which dropped today as well. Very sad to see that show go, and we cover some more of the new shows coming from the Talking Walking Dead World. It's actually the Walking Dead World, but for me, it's Talking Walking Dead World. but for me it's talking walking dead world, so just live with it.

Tony Bennett is dead. At the age of 96, we found out that Tony Bennett was dead on Friday after I had recorded the show. So I didn't get to throw him in the Who Died Today on Friday's episode. So Tony Bennett, after a seven-year battle with Alzheimer's disease, He was 96. Now, there has been no cause of death listed yet, but, I mean, he was 96 and he was suffering from Alzheimer's. So take your guess.

He had an amazing life. The guy was incredible, sang around the world with, you know, all the superstars. I was reading a little bit about his life and how he suffered. He said he did the upies and the downies and the sleepies, and he was addicted to drugs, and he had big tax problems. millions of dollars to the IRS so he couldn't afford to pay it and he was really bummed and then he was also a painter and then he fought back through all of that and I loved the line where he showed up and did an MTV unplugged in 1994 and he said I've always been unplugged.

So Tony Bennett dead at the age of 96 and I see where they want to make Tony Bennett. Day. Yes. So they want to declare August 3rd as Tony Bennett Day. When I originally saw the headline, it was from Senator Chuck Schumer from New York, to whatever. Tony was born in New York. He was from Queens. But I thought, you know, okay, so he died in Manhattan. He died in New York. And I guess, you know, people used to see him in the park painting and stuff with his little dog. And he was, August 3rd is his day. So that would have been his 97th birthday. And so I guess that's going to be Tony Bennett Day.

And what made me think that it's going to be the whole country is that even Nancy Pelosi, I mean, Tony's known for, you know, I left my heart in San Francisco. Duh. So I guess America's going to celebrate Tony Bennett Day on August 3rd, thanks to Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. I get it. We want to have Tony Bennett Day, but brought to the table from those two.

And we have James Barber, who was executed in Alabama for his brutal beating death of an elderly woman 22 years ago, making the state's first lethal injection date following all kinds of halts and review procedures. So Barbara was 64, and it was the thing that I mean, good.

I'm happy that he's gone off the face of the earth for his, he confessed to killing this lady with a claw hammer in her hometown, please. He deserved to be executed. But I'm fascinated by what they order as their last meal, for those of you listening to chewing the fat in the past. His last meal consisted of loaded hash browns, a Western omelet, spicy sausage, and toast.

I'm not sure what I would order as my last meal. But it wouldn't be that. I tell you that right now. Then we have Phoenix, Arizona, where 18 people, 18, have died from heat in Phoenix this year, and they think 69 more deaths are under investigation. Well, they don't think they know that 69 people of more deaths are under investigation. according to a weekly health report that Maricopa County Health Department puts out. Just incredible.

So they talk about that they believe that these heat-related deaths could be preventable. Wait, what? Yeah, they could be preventable. I don't know. Maybe use air conditioning. I get it. That we, you know, it's hot out. And it's a summertime.

We've got another week of this oppressive heat hitting the, I mean, 80 million U.S. residents are expected to be above 105 this week. It's a little warm. A little warm here in Texas as well. This show originates from Texas. It's been just a tad warm here as well. But maybe you just, I don't know, air conditioning seems to be a hindrance to heat exertion. But maybe that's just.

me. So keep yourself hydrated and stay as cool as possible, please. No matter where you're at, but most importantly, in Phoenix. And just so you know that the government is looking out for you, so they want to come for your thermostats now. More electric companies are installing equipment and implementing protocols that will allow them to remotely control customer demand continuously, not just during emergency. So that's good. They're watching out for you. there. They're also starting a new rule that would ban all portable gas generators. Huh. Really? Yeah, well, the sale of most

all portable gas generators. And what could go wrong there? I mean, we only use those generators during disasters, but that's it and power outages. That's it, though. We don't want to have those around, those nasty gas portable generators. And now they're targeting water heaters. They want to get rid of gas-powered water heaters. Just an amazing time that we live in. In the words of Congressman Thomas Massey, leave us alone. Oh, and I see where Jamie Fox is not dead. Okay? He's not dead. He posted on Instagram. It looks like he lost a lot of weight, and he didn't want people to see him because

of his ego and he thanked everybody for keeping it locked down and for their prayers but he is not dead first of all i want to say thank you to everybody this prayed man and sent me messages i cannot even begin to tell you um how far it took me and how how it brought me back um uh got a hair through something that I thought I would never, ever go through. And I know a lot of people were waiting, you know, or wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with you... Yeah, we did. I just didn't want you to see me like that, man.

You know, I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show. I didn't want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through. We thought that anyway. My sister, Deirdiction, my daughter, Karen Marie saved my life. So to them, to God, to a lot of great medical people. Okay, thank you.

I'm able to leave you this video. I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in such a way and y'all know they kept it airtight they didn't let nothing out they protected me and that's what i hope that everyone could have in moments like these uh sometimes things you know get out of hand people saying what yeah i was i was blind but as you can see as you can see the eyes are working yeah we see ah yeah the eyes working was fine you're paralyzed i'm not paralyzed um well we did go see you're sitting you can move your arm and my road to recovery you had some potholes as well

all of the love that I We love you too talk about people crying on videos you know you can do take two but I'm not going to do a take two it is what it is and oh now you don't care about your ego Out.

For now on and every month from a while I just burst into tears It's because it's been tough, man. I was sick, man. But now I've got my legs under me, so you're going to see me out. But like I said, I just want you to remember me for the jokes that I crack. Yeah, the jokes, right. I'll party and have a fun. Movies that I make, some I'm good, some of them may.

I think I got a good one out in the songs that I sing, man. And then, you know, somebody was talking about I'm cloned. Well, check yourself. Just kidding. Tried to pull the skin off his face. I'm here on earth because of some great people. I'm here on earth because of God, man. So I love all y'all.

I just want to jump on the end let you know I'm on the way back. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Well, there you have it. He's not dead. He's on his way back. He thanked everybody for keeping it locked down.

Congratulations to cyclist, cyclist, bi-cyclist, Jonas Vingard, V-I-N-G-E-G-A-A-R-D. He was crowned champion of the Tour de France. Congratulations. He finished almost seven and a half minutes ahead of rival Taja Poga, T-A-D-E-J, P-O-G-A-C-A-R. the largest margin in the 2100 mile race since 2014. They were neck and neck through most of the stages until my man Jonas turned in a blistering effort in stage 16, building a minute 38 lead over Pokhar.

And the performance was followed by a dominant ride through stage 17 in the Alps, which went Pokhar radioed his team and said, I'm out of energy. That's going to be it. And so that meant that my man, Jonas would win. So, Vindegar takes home $540,000 in prize money. And Pogar won the title in 2020 and 2021.

He gets $220,000. That seems like not that much of money. That's a big race. That's a big race. Costs a lot of money. have a lot of big team around you for only $540,000 that seems a little chinty.

I think we need to revisit what we're giving out for prizes, although I'm sure they make tons of money from their sponsors and I don't know that they pay for their bikes or their uniforms, but probably at some point somebody's got to be paying for something. So I would seem like that race

the Tour de France, and all you win is, I'm sorry, the Tour de France, and that all you win is, $540,000 seems a little less than what I would have guessed. But hey, congratulations. I could use the $540,000. And I'm not biking through France. So congratulations for those two.

Oh, you know, and last week I played that damn Aaron Rogers interview at the golf tournament a couple of weekends ago. And I really, I remembered thinking that when it was all done, I did say to Aaron, hey, I know you want to meet Live, the voice of God on Hard Knocks. But hey, NFL films and HBO, I'm here for you, okay? Jeff Fisher, Chewing the Fat, I'd be happy to be the Voice of God for some of your films and some of your shows. So email me, Chewing the Fat at Theblaze.com. And the Kevin Spacey trial goes to the judge.

jury, we'll see what happens against the 12 charges against him. Man, if the jury heard what I heard, well, I didn't hear. If the jury heard what I read happened in the trial, I cannot believe that they could find this man guilty. It's just incredible. So, I mean, there's 12 charges against him. Accusations made by four different men who accused basically of separate instances of sexual misconduct between 2001 and 2013.

He was first hit with five sexual assault charges from three men in May of 2022 before the Crown Prosecution Service tacked on additional seven charges in November of 2022 related to the allegations from one more man. And don't forget, the Anthony Rap trial ended at the end of last year with not guilty. Rap, he was agonizing. Most of it was a lie. It was just a remembering of the play. Anyway, a remembering from the play that he was doing.

Didn't have anything to do with Kevin Spacey. Just amazing. And, I mean, the one guy talked about the time he was molested on a car ride to the Elton party. And Elton testified saying, you know, he flew private to the one time he was there. So it never happened. I guess I could be wrong on the date. I mean, come on. So we'll see.

And I got to talk to Phelan McLare again, who was over there. covering the trial, have to talk to him and see what the feeling is, what the vibe is there in the courthouse and, you know, around the trial. But we talked to him early on. And they're doing another podcast unfiltered, the Kevin Spacey trial about Anthony rap, which is awesome. I think seven or eight episodes have dropped now. If you haven't listened to that with his wife, Ann McLearnie, is the MC or, you know,

documenting the document. A really great podcast to listen to if you have a chance. But anyway, the Kevin Spacey trial goes to the jury in London, and we'll see what happens. But I cannot imagine that they find this guy guilty. Okay, I just saw a study where they claim that 60% of the world's oceans have shifted colors over the past two decades, reflecting the change in the marine ecosystems as water temperatures rise. so the water, the ocean's color has changed significantly over the last 20 years, and the global trend is likely a consequence of human-induced climate change.

Huh, that's a report from scientists at MIT, the National Oceanography Center in the UK, and elsewhere. Now, the team writes they've detected changes in ocean color over the past two decades that could not be explained by natural year-to-year variability alone. These color shifts, those subtle, to the human eye have occurred over 56% of the world's oceans, an expanse that is larger than the total land area on Earth. In particular, the researchers found that tropical ocean regions near the equator have become steadily greener over time. The shift in ocean color indicates that ecosystems within the surface ocean must also be changing, as the color of the ocean is a literal reflection of the organisms and materials in its waters.

At this point, the researchers cannot say how exactly marine ecosystems are changing to reflect the shifting color. Wait, what? So at this point, the researchers cannot say how exactly marine ecosystems are changing to reflect the shifting color. Huh, isn't that interesting? So we really don't know why. But we are sure of one thing. I wonder what that is. We can't figure out what's happening.

and we don't really know if it's long-lasting or short-lasting, but we're sure of one thing. It's human-induced climate change. That's what's causing it, okay? That's the only thing we do know. We don't know anything else, but we do know that. Okay. All right. Thank you.

Appreciate you stopping by. And then, you know, I see a video of a rare pink dolphin swimming in the Gulf of Mexico or swimming in Louisiana. and I think, well, you know, a pink dolphin. I guess they're changing colors too. We don't know why, but we do know that it's human-induced climate change that is likely the driver, don't we? Yes, yes, we do.

Just amazing to me. Okay, so I'll leave you with the joke of the day if that wasn't close enough to a joke of the day. Just take this, you can use this wherever you want, okay? So a blind man walks into a bar. So this may have actually been in the show Away that my wife is watching because she came down to tell me this joke saying she just heard it. So I don't know if she heard it on the internet

or if it was part of the show that she was watching, you know, the Away show that we talked about earlier in the show. So anyway, a blind man walks into a bar takes his seeing-eye dog and spins him around. And the bartender says, hey, hey, what are you doing? Just looking around. It could use that wherever you want.
