And now
Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher
Congratulations to Rupert Murdoch for
finding love again
He is going to marry for the fifth time
At the age of 92
I knew, according to
Rupert, that this would be
my last. The
mogul is marrying Anne
Leslie Smith
66. Now 66, 66,
may seem like a strange age.
It's only, what, 24, 26 years younger?
92 minus 66 is 26.
I got it.
26 years younger.
And there's no age limit on love.
So congratulations.
Now, I will say that Anne said she's been a widower or a widow.
For the past 14 years.
And they are both looking forward to spending the second half
of their lives together.
So the summer wedding is going to be beautiful.
And they're going to split their time between their homes in California,
Britain, Montana, and New York.
They both met each other at an event in Bel Air, California.
And so they are just happy and in love.
And according to her, she's been rich.
She's been poor.
rich than poor.
That's according to her.
Her husband was in the media business
and so she says that she speaks
Rupert's language.
So congratulations.
Congratulations to the new
loving couple Rupert Murdoch
and Anne
Leslie Smith.
There is no
age limit on love.
But there is
is a wallet limit for many.
I mean, this is
the fifth time for Rupert,
and he's dished out some cash
to the other wives. He's got,
I don't know, he's got
six children from his first
three marriages, his
Prudence McLeod and his
with his first wife, Patricia
Booker, then Elizabeth and sons,
Lacklin and James,
with his second wife and a man.
He has two more daughters, Grace,
and Chloe from his third wife, Wendy Dang,
and Murdoch's fourth wife was the former supermodel, Jerry Hall,
from whom he split with last year.
So this love affair came on fast, fast and strong.
And again, congratulations.
I can't stop congratulating Rupert because he's a spry, 92-year-old,
but he's got a heavy wallet.
And so I'm sure that has nothing to do.
with Anne's love for Rupert.
Welcome.
Welcome to Chewing the Fat.
Higher pay or a job you love.
Our friends, your friends, at UGov,
have released the results of a survey that they ran in March,
which asked more than 33,000 American adults,
whether they would have a low-paying job that they loved or a high-paying job that they hated.
So as you go down the list, it seems to be the older you get almost.
The more you want a low-paying job that you love.
So younger, 18 to 25, that's about even.
About 40% say they'd rather have a job that they love than high-pay.
About 39% say high-pay.
And I don't care if I hate the job.
And that's the biggest that we have.
A tremendous amount of people would rather have a low-paying job that they love.
Isn't that special?
I know.
So out of all adults, 50% say that they would rather have a low-paying job that they love.
24% I don't know.
and the 26% believe that a high-paying job is better than one that you love
because they want the money.
So you can answer that question for yourself.
I don't know if you were part of the U-Gov poll.
I'm sorry, it's a survey, it's not a poll.
Part of the U-Gov survey.
You may have been one of the 33,000 adults that did the survey.
That's a tough one for me because I,
I,
whof,
it's,
you know,
money is awful nice.
And sometimes
you have to struggle
with any job
that you have,
whether you like it or not.
And even if you love a job,
there's going to be times
when it's frustrating
to do that job.
You know,
like I,
I've been on the radio
for a thousand years,
and I know this is a podcast.
It's not radio.
Thank you.
But, I mean,
I've been broadcasting
for a long time.
A lot of years.
And I've,
made like no money. So I guess I would be in the low pay job that you love because I couldn't
imagine. I don't want to do anything else. I have done other jobs of plenty of them and I never liked
them. And I wasn't making a great deal of more money of doing those jobs than I was talking into a
microphone. I mean, I've told you before. I knew when I was a little kid that I wanted to be in
radio. I've told you the story. I mean, I, I, I, I, I,
I remember going to the radio station and looking in the glass window into the broadcast booth.
And the back of the DJ was to me.
And the dials and the lights were on.
And the record players were spinning.
I know you don't know what a record player is, but back then there were.
They had actual record players that they played music on the air with.
And cart machines and the ashtray with the cigarette burning and the cup of coffee
and the microphone hanging down
and I said,
I want to do that.
I want to do that.
I knew that from the first time
I looked inside a radio booth, man.
And so it really didn't matter to me
if I was going to make a lot of money or not.
I just wanted to do that.
And maybe that's the way you felt
with whatever job you do.
you know, I'm sure that there are plenty of people who said, you know, I started working with
wood and building things and I said, I have to do that.
I get it.
It makes a lot of sense, man.
When you find something that you love to do, do it.
But it helps when you actually are paid a decent wage or a lot of money for doing something
that you truly love.
Many people would tell you to take the job that pays you a lot of money.
lot of money, even though you hate the job, and then do what you love when you're not doing your
job. However, that doesn't leave a lot of time to do with the things you love because your job
takes a big part of your life. So anyway, that's where we're at. The U.Gov poll of 33,000 American
adults, 50% said that the low-paid job that you love is what they would rather do. And 26% say,
oh, no, a high-paying job that I hate is fine with me.
Now, we have the latest list of the top happiest countries in the world.
Now, maybe these countries, they all make a whole bunch of money,
and they're all just happy as little clams in a...
What's the saying?
Happy as little clams in a shell?
Something like that.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah, you're happy.
So the top 20 happiest countries in the world.
A new country to the top 20 kicking France out.
And if you've paid attention to what's going on in France,
they're not a happy country right now.
Number 20 is Lithuania.
They've added to the top 20.
Congratulations to Lithuania for breaking into the top 20
and kicking France to the curb in the top 20
of the happiest countries in the world.
then you have number 19
the United Kingdom
Number 18
The Czech Republic
Boy, I know
I know
When you think of the Czech Republic
You don't think of a happy country
But that's just me I guess
Belgium
Belgium number 17
Germany number 16
United States
You know I just watched
All Quiet on the Western Front
The Netflix movie
The Academy Award movie
It's obviously
You know
The story I got it
And the original
All Quietes on the Western Front
And it was good
It was worth a watch
but boy it got me thinking of
Germany trying to take over the world
a couple of times
and it makes one wonder about a country
but they're happy number 16th
number 16th
on the list and they're below
the United States of America
who we're ranked 15th
I live in the 15th happiest
country in the world
Ireland is 14th
Canada is 13th
Australia is 12th
Austria is 11th
New Zealand is 10th
Luxembourg is number 9
Switzerland is number 8
if you live in any of these countries
and listen to Chewing the Fat
and I know some of you do
and thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat
wherever you listen to chewing the fat
email me Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com
and let me know if you agree
with your rankings
as the happiest countries in the world
so Switzerland is number 8
Norway is number seven.
Sweden is number six.
There's a lot happening in Sweden too.
I don't see how they are in the top ten.
But okay.
The Netherlands, number five.
Israel is the fourth on the list.
Number three is Iceland.
Number two is Denmark.
And the number one happiest country in the world for 2023, Finland.
So congratulations.
to each and every country
that is in the top 20.
Sad news about France being dropped
out of the top 20, but we all know
what's going on in France.
Macaron barely
hanging out to power as it was close
to having him
get a vote of no confidence,
a nine shy of
what was needed.
But they are rioting
and burning, and I love the story.
You know, it's official that
they're, they have now
raised the official retirement age
from 62 to 64.
Despite
massive pushback, yeah, there was
quite a bit of a pushback
in France. And I loved
the headline that
talked about the
police firing tear gas
at spontaneous
anti-pension bill protest.
So
a little bit of an issue
happening in France. Workers
strikes have disrupted the
transportation services, 7,000 tons of garbage is piled up in Paris.
I bet you that smells great.
And so we'll see what happens, but it's no wonder that they dropped out of the top 20
to number 21 now on the world's happiest country.
Good times, good times happening around the world.
And it's only going to get better.
It's only going to get better.
We've got the war in Ukraine going on.
We have, if they arrest.
former president
Donald Trump, which they are claiming
is going to happen. At least
he claims it's going to happen and they're setting up
barricades in New York.
So it appears that it's going to happen
and they're going to make him show up
and get arrested. I talked about it forever.
All they want is that
they want that perp walk of Donald Trump.
They want that so bad they
can taste it. Maybe
maybe this time they're going to get it.
We'll see. We'll see.
Maybe this time they're going to get the actual
perp walk of Donald Trump in handcuffs walking, being arrested.
And we may drop from 15th on the list if that happens.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink desperately.
So those of you that think that the person who left a turd next to Hillary and Chelsea Clinton
at some like it hot in New York at the Schubert Theater.
It wasn't about them.
I mean, it might have been a little,
but we believe that we have a serial pooper
stalking the halls of the legendary Schubert Theater.
And it just happened that the last time
the serial pooper struck,
it struck near an aisle
where Hillary and Chelsea were sitting
for some like it hot
Now according to sources
The theater staff said it was
It almost hit the fans at other performances as well
The lights came up for intermission
And there were two big
Human poops in the aisle
near Hillary and Chelsea.
Now, am I opposed
to that having happened to them?
Well, I don't know.
I mean, yes, I am.
Yes, I am.
I'm going on a limb.
Yeah, I don't want people
pooping in public like that.
But it's New York,
and hey, New York has a brand,
according to the mayor.
And that makes sense.
That's the kind of brand
that New York has.
If you've worked, spend any time
in NYC, you may have seen,
human poop on the sidewalk or off to the side of stairwells for the subway.
I have personally.
So I don't know if it was this person.
It's been quite some time, but I know that I have seen it.
So apparently the house dealt with it.
Well, yeah, they're used to it now.
They got it, took care of it very quickly.
And Hillary and Chelsea remained in the theater for the second act.
No word on whether they got up and stepped over the turns to go get a drink.
Because, man, when you're thirsty and you're at the show, something like it hot,
you're stepping over poop, man, makes you even hungrier.
You know, I'm going to get a bigger box of popcorn now.
So I don't know if they're going to arrest a person.
I don't know if the person swings over the seats and poops.
I don't know how you don't get caught in a theater like the Schubert Theater.
You just kind of walk by in the dark as everyone is transfixed on the stage.
It just dropped down to a quick poop in the aisle.
That's so terrible.
Why?
Why?
That's my question.
Why?
It's not funny.
But it's funny.
And so darn the luck.
I'm sorry that Hillary and Chelsea had to be around something like that.
Because it's not bad enough that they've, well, there's plenty of poop jokes to be had.
So it's plenty of turd jokes to be had with Hillary and Chelsea.
And I'm far beat, I am not one to tell those jokes.
So just hope that New York catches their serial pooper.
as soon as possible.
And speaking of cereal pooping,
I know that we talked about it on Pat's show last week,
but I don't think I ever talked about it here on chewing.
I saw where Guantith Paltrow revealed one of her wellness things that she does
is rectal ozone therapy.
Man, does that sound like fun?
Rectal ozone therapy.
She claims it's pretty weird, but it's been very helpful.
Now, Guantath, found it.
of goop has a number of things that she claims is very helpful to your health that may or may not be.
So I don't know if rectal ozone therapy will help, but it's a powerful gas is delivered via catheter into the colon.
And she said that she's used it.
And it's been very, very helpful.
It's reduced pain and inflammation, increased energy, improved metabolism and circulation,
stimulated immune system,
detoxification,
anti-aging,
and fighting bacterial viral infections.
If that's what it does,
sign me up
for some rectal ozone therapy.
I mean, she has ketone drinks,
the art of well-being,
cherry gab,
and she's on top of it with goop.
So maybe this is the thing.
Maybe this is the thing.
Maybe this is what I need
to reduce pain and inflammation.
and have some increased energy
and improve metabolism and circulation,
stimulate my immune system,
detoxify a little bit,
anti-aging, and fighting bacterial and viral infections
with just a little ozone rectal therapy.
Wow, that sounds good.
I see also, speaking of Gwyneth,
she's getting ready for a big lawsuit.
Yeah, I know you thought, wait, Gwyneth is in a lawsuit?
Right, and this one doesn't have to do with Goup.
He's going to stand trial in Utah.
for a hit and run ski crash.
There's no, we're not sure if she's going to testify at the trial.
But in 2019, she was sued by this Terry Sanderson,
who claimed she seriously injured him during a crash on the slopes
at a Park City ski resort.
The alleged incident occurred February 26, 2016.
Wow, it's been seven years already.
Okay.
On a beginner run at Deer Valley Resort.
In Sanderson's lawsuit, retired optometrist, said Paltrow was skiing out of control and knocked him out,
leaving him with a concussion and four broken ribs.
He referred to it as a hit and run and is seeking $3.1 million in damages.
Okay.
All right.
Now, Gwyneth, I believe, has said that this is bullcrap,
and she is denied that she is the old hit and runs gear.
So we'll see how it comes out.
I don't know.
It's been so long.
I mean, you've got to believe that she would have settled this a long time ago
if it was actually her, right?
So if it's not Gwyneth, then this guy is just trying to sue.
someone that has a little bit of money
for his ski trip. It's been so long.
Wow. Now,
Sanderson, the person who claims
to have been hit and run on,
told reporters the day that he filed
the lawsuit, that he waited to file the lawsuit
for nearly three years because
he had problems with attorneys
and could not function
properly because of a
concussion. All right,
then. His events
greatly differ from Gwyneth, who said she's counterclaimed now that the retired optometrist
actually plowed into her from behind and delivered a full body blow.
And Gwena said that I was shaken by the collision and quit skiing with my family for the day.
She said Sanderson apologized to her and said he was fine.
And she has previously denied blame for the crash in a statement, but had not yet offered
a full version of events.
So first she denied that it happened.
Now she's saying,
nope, you know what, he hit me.
Now she's suing for
symbolic damages of a dollar
plus her cost of attorney fees
to defend this meritless claim.
She's not looking for
$3.1 billion.
But it should be a fun lawsuit.
We'll see if it actually
plays out.
And I see where Taylor Swift
kicked off her big tour,
her eras tour in Arizona last Friday night.
And it was a big show.
She performed like 44 songs from her deep catalog
across three hours and 15 minutes.
Fans were considerably happy.
And they were still, you know,
Pist a Ticket Ticket Master.
Yeah, we can't have that.
But according to this story from USA Today,
not since the most vigorous days of Bruce Springsteen
and his legendary live concerts as a mainstream artist
packed so much music into one show.
Okay.
I don't know that I'm happy with the,
you know, the,
well, it's just like Bruce Springsteen.
But I will say that she also set a record for her show.
All right.
Her opening night of the era's tour
broke a record for the most attended female
concert in U.S. history
with an audience of over
69,000
people. So congratulations
to Taylor. She beat out
the capacity. Wait a minute. Okay, so hold on.
Swift's opening night held an audience of over 69,000.
She could have held, the capacity was
72, too. So she didn't sell it out.
But she still broke the record because Madonna
had the record
at 62,
almost 63,000.
people when she did her 87 concert in Anaheim Stadium.
And so she was held the record holder of the most attended female concert in U.S. history.
I mean, we're getting a stretch for records now.
But congratulations to Taylor for not selling out her opening show, but setting a record.

News from a few countries that are not in the top 20 of the happiest countries on the planet.
Indonesia has begun construction of its new capital city of Nusantara, replacing Jakarta in East Borneo.
So apparently, I know that, you know, we're now.
Indonesia, the whole area of natural resources and orangutans, but environmentalists and indigenous
groups are pissed. That the nearly $33 billion project, and will it be only $33 billion? Because I feel
like that's just a beginning number, saying the project has many economic and ecological
ramifications while exposing residents to endemic diseases like malaria. So they're digging up
the ground, officials say the new capital plans to include a futuristic green city that
uses renewable energy resources, smart waste management, and environmentally friendly buildings,
and aims to be carbon neutral by 2045. However, critics of the projects say, we're going to get rid of
the rainforest, threaten endangered species, and put indigenous people's homes at risk. The project,
sparked by Jakarta's overpopulation and infrastructure problems and chronic flooding, home to 10 million people,
as quickly sinking into the Java Sea, and parts of the city could be entirely submerged by 2050.
Okay, well, let's get to it.
Let's build a couple of walls and put some houses on some floats.
But big problems in Indonesia, and there would be more fun to come with that.
And that's why they're not in the top 20 of the happiest countries in the earth.
Then we have news from Somalia because they're in the middle of the longest drought on record for Somalia.
And they just released their death toll, the official death toll for last year.
An estimated 43,000 people died last year in Somalia because, you know, due to the drought.
Now we have anti-government protest to hit Kenya.
South Africa, Nigeria, and Tunisia over high costs of living and political strife.
So those countries, definitely not in the top 20 of the happiest countries.
That is absolutely true.
Then we have Cuba.
I thought Cuba was our friend now, but no.
A Cuban baseball player has defected to the U.S.
following Sunday's World Baseball Classic semifinal in Miami.
It's the first time that the Cuban national team played in Miami
since the Cuban Revolution in 1959.
So I'm sure it probably won't happen again.
But we have more Cuban people, well, one,
go ahead and defecting to the United States.
And so I'm sure that's going to make our relationship with Cuba even better, even better.
And we know that India was not in the top 20 of the happiest countries in the world, but we do know Eric Garcetti.
Congratulations to Eric Garcetti.
Yeah, was voted by the Senate, 52 to 42, confirming him to be the U.S. ambassador to India.
So, congratulations to former Los Angeles mayor, Eric Garcetti.
He was the confirmation process, took all kinds of delays.
there were allegations that he mishandled
workplace misconduct and
sexual harassment allegations, I won't
hear of it. A mayor in
Los Angeles? Stop it.
So, the Senate report,
citing whistleblowers, stated that an
aid for Garcetti sexually harassed
more than one person and had
made racist comments
toward others. Well, this was an aid to him.
It also found that Garcetti
was either aware of the allegations
that didn't act or should have been made aware.
And he denied any wrong
doing and never lost our president's support.
Now, after much convincing in years of delay,
yeah, no kidding.
Like, I don't know, two and a half years.
The Garcetti is set to serve as an envoy
to the world's most populous democracy, India.
So congratulations to Eric Garcetti for finally
getting through the nomination process
and becoming the ambassador,
the United States ambassador to India.
So I'm sure with Eric's help, India will break into the top 20 of one of the happiest countries in the world next year.

One more story from around the world
from a country that really isn't
in the top 20 of the happiest
countries in the world.
Ghana?
Looks like
six giant
African snails.
We're found in a suitcase.
owned by a traveler from Ghana.
So he's trying to get the hell out of Ghana,
and he flies into Detroit,
and they find he's got six giant African snails in his suitcase.
Yum, yum.
Now, according to U.S. officials,
snails are prohibited organism,
so you're not supposed to bring those into the country.
Why not?
Some of these African snails can grow up
to eight inches long and carry a parasite that may lead to meningitis.
So why not just carried in your suitcase and bring it with you from your home country of Ghana into Detroit?
Some people still eat the snails and others have them as pets.
I'm sure that this person from Ghana was going to use them as a pet and not eat them, right?
you wouldn't bring
giant African snails with you.
Maybe he was getting together with family
and he hadn't seen him in a long time
and one of their family gathering party foods
are African snails.
So dig in to the old escargo.
Yum. Yum. Yum.
There's nothing.
Nothing.
Like a Ghana giant snail
from the motherland.
Get together with fans.
family and just go to town on your African snail.
It does not sound good.
But hey, I'm not judging.
I am not judging.

So the first season of The Last of Us is over, the HBO show, The Last of Us, and it's the post-apocalyptic drama based on a game that was created back in 2013, developing.
by Noddy Dog and the series, if you don't know, is said in
2023. It's 20 years into the pandemic, so it started in
2003, caused by a mass
fungal infection, which forces its host
to transform into zombie-like creatures and collapses
society. That's the show and the game, The Last of Us.
Well, the CDC
has just issued a warning on
fungus. The CDC said that,
a fungal threat to human health is growing at an alarming rate in health facilities across the U.S.
It is called Candida oris.
Amorphophalis.
No, no, C-A-N-D-I-D-A-U-R-I-S.
A drug-resistant and sometimes deadly fungus that grows as a yeast has now been detected
in more than half of all.
all states after being found in the U.S. in 2016.
The fungus can cause infections and is especially dangerous for older people and people with weakened immune systems.
Huh.
Well, that is exactly how this mass fungal infection started in The Last of Us.
So...
All right.
All right.
It could be coming.
I know we talked about the asteroid that could be coming this weekend,
the 25th, supposed to pass by us between us and the moon.
But then I see where they have other asteroids that they want us to be concerned about.
There's a list here.
Well, this one we don't know about it.
Some of these asteroids just show up because, as I said yesterday,
in the documentary Armageddon, we know that it's a big ass guy.
And so they can't track it all.
So sometimes asteroids just show up.
Oh, there's one.
but we do have some that we are tracking we have one titled two zero one zero zero rf
12 uh that's a 24 feet in diameter it has a one inch 10 chance of hitting the earth on september 5th
2095 then we have the 2023 dw that's 166 feet that has a one in one thousand five hundred and
84 chance of hitting on Valentine's Day 2046.
Then we have the 1950 DA.
That has a diameter of 6,561 feet.
That's a big one.
One in 34,000 chance of hitting the Earth on March 16th, 2880.
Then we have Benu, B-E-N-N-U, Ben-U,
1,574 feet.
That has a 1 in 2,700 chance of hitting on September 24th, 2182.
Oh, okay.
Then we have Totatus.
That is 17,716 feet.
You don't want that hitting.
No, that close approach is 2016.
right, it came through 2016, it came by us,
and then it's going to return in 2562.
Okay, so that already went by.
We have to worry about that until 2562.
You're fine.
Don't worry about it.
So these are just some of the ones that we already know about.
So I don't know that you want to worry about it,
if you have to worry about things.
But I would say that if the old 1950 DA hits the earth,
we would notice that.
We would notice that.
You can quote me on that, all right?
If the 6,561 foot asteroid hits the Earth,
we're going to notice that.
You know, and speaking of The Last of Us,
that got me to thinking about YouTube TV.
I want to thank them for their email that they sent me,
letting me know that their prices are going to go up.
I know.
That was nice of my thought.
So the YouTube TV subscription,
from $65 a month to $73 a month.
I think it's like $72.99 or whatever it is,
but the story that I have in front of me says,
you know, it's just rounded numbers.
But it's $64.99 and then it's $72.99, something like that.
12% bump.
I mean, hello.
They, like this.
They haven't experienced a price hike since June of 2020.
Yeah.
I remember when that went up too.
according to Google, though, content costs have risen since then.
It doesn't specify exactly which content costs.
But YouTube TV did recently pon up about $2 billion
for the rights of NFL Sunday ticket package.
I know.
And that's fine if you want the ticket package.
But other streaming services, Apple, Disney, HBO have raised prices as well.
I am going to soon, I believe this month, as a matter of fact,
because we've been talking about it, I'm going to get rid of YouTube TV.
And I'm going to go to Hulu Live.
And with Hulu Live, with the deal that they have, that's going to get me, I think, HBO and Disney.
And Hulu Live still has ESPN package.
And so I'll be able to get college football, which is what I really, college football and NFL.
I'll be able to watch the NFL, although I, on ESPN and Amazon and the regular channels,
I won't be able to get the Sunday ticket package, which I'm not going to get anyway.
I love the NFL, but I don't need the Sunday ticket.
Okay, I can follow the NFL on my own.
That's called the thing, that's called the Internet.
And so I can watch the games that I want to watch and follow the rest of the games on my own.
But that's, holy cow.
Enough.
Enough, YouTube.
I don't know what needs to happen.
I don't know.
I don't necessarily have a plan to fix the cost of these different streaming apps
because it's getting out of control.
I mean, everybody wants their hit.
A particular app is creating a couple of things,
really great content,
and the rest is just so-so.
And do I want to spend the full amount
for the two things that I really like?
I mean, I have been,
but I don't necessarily want to want to.
I like YouTube TV.
I like the way it works.
I like what they've done with it.
But I'm not, I'm in 73 bucks a month.
It's not worth that.
It's not worth that.
to me. They do not provide me enough
content
for $73 a month.
We'll see the way what Hulu charges
with everything else and we'll see
what works. I will pause.
I say it cancel. I'm going to pause
my YouTube account. And so
that way, if the Hulu thing doesn't work out, I can
unpause YouTube and I don't have to
re-submit everything to YouTube.
I'll just have it on pause. But
something has got to change.
You can quote me on that. That's the quote of the day
for the show. Something has got to change.
