Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. The JM Smucker Company has initiated a withdrawal notice. Yeah, that would be a recall. For select hostess ding-dong products, say it isn't so, but it is. Due to potential presence of mold.

Yeah, mold and the hostess ding-dongs do not get along very well. So apparently the recalled hostess ding-dongs were distributed to retailers across the U.S. You can identify the impacted hosted products by looking for the following information. The two-count hostess chocolate ding-dong single serves, and they give a UPC number. The 10-count hostess chocolate ding-dong with the UPC number. The 16-count hostess chocolate ding-dong family family pack with the UPC code. So they also have best-by dates of August 30th, August 31st, September 1st, September 2nd, and September 3rd of this year. The J.M. Smucker Company said that a mechanical issue in the manufacturing process may have created conditions that could support the development of mold in the product prior to the expiration date.

The company claims they have resolved the issue and thus only five lots of product. have been impacted. So at this time, no other hostess or J.M. Smucker Company products are being recalled. Now, if you're not sure about your product being part of the recall, I would say do not consume it and obviously take it back to the store. There also, you could hostess gives an 800 number you could call. I feel like I want to call it, but I won't. 1-800-483-7253 if you have any questions about your hostess ding-dong product. If you're concerned that it may be moldy, I would say take a look at it.

That would be just me, though. I would say take a look at it and you might be able to see if it was to become moldy because I think we all know what something moldy looks like. Oh, that is not, that's not very appetizing when you go to look at the old hostess ding-dong and there's mold on it. Yeah, no, just take it back. Throw it away. Tell them you bought it. Take it back.

Get your money back. And that's a shame, too, because, man, hostess ding-dongs, they're such a comforting piece of food, a snack. And to think that you'd open one up and there's mold on it, ooh, just nasty. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Okay, we played the video, well, the audio from the video, here on Chewing the Fat the other day. And that was when Little Nas X was walking down the street, you know, the old town road rapper. When he was walking down the streets of Los Angeles.

And he was in his underwear and his cowboy boots. And he was, you know, looked like he was kind of whacked out of his mind. Might have been high on something. We don't know that. His legal name is Montero Lamall Hill. not Lamall either. I got mixed up with Hill. His real name,

Montero Lamar Hill. That's who goes, you know, he goes by Little Nas X. Now, I guess, all right, so he's accused, we talked about this where the police said that he charged them. I don't know that the body cam footage

has been released yet, but they claim now that they're charging him with four felonies. accusing him of injuring officers when he was found naked. He wasn't naked. He was just in his underwear and cowboy boots on Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles. He has pled not guilty. I saw one video of him in the hospital bed that he was trying to make fun of how he smiled

and what was happening. So I don't know if it was mental distress or it was some kind of overdose. He was taken to the hospital. And I guess, you know, he's pleaded not guilty. and I guess he's said that he took bail, $75,000 bail, all right? And then he has obviously no, you know, his community ties and no criminal history, and he's not a flight risk. And so as of right now, according to his attorney,

there's no evidence that any drugs were involved. Okay. I mean, I think we all, barring any test results coming back. All right. And so we'll see what happens with Lil Nas X. I feel like I want to see the A, I want to see the blood test

See what he was what and if he was high And if not Well then he does have some mental issues That we need to talk about But on the other hand It's Los Angeles And he's walking down the street Singing in his underwear

So I mean it doesn't seem that out of The ordinary for Los Angeles Now I also Find it hard to believe that he injured officers when they were trying to arrest him because three counts of battery on a police officer, one count of resisting arrest. Okay.

I find that very, very hard to believe. If that's what the officers say, then I guess, you know, we have to believe it. But I don't. I don't until I see the video. But that's where we're at with the little Naz-X saga. Oh, wow. I just happened to look at the Powerball homepage, the Powerball Lado homepage,

and there's another $1 million winner from Texas. That could be me. I could have won a million dollars. That's awesome. There were no, not a jackpot winner, and there was no $2 million winners. So the jackpot for the Powerball is on Wednesday, the 27th. If you're listening live, today is Tuesday, the 26th of 2025, is $815 million. That's pretty good.

$367.9 million. So I possibly could be a million dollar winner. I haven't checked my ticket yet. So I could use that extra million. No problem. And then tonight we have the mega millions drawing, which is $253 million with a, one 113.8 million dollar cash payout. You know, I'll settle for it if that has to happen.

You know, I talked about this story on Saturday morning live this past Saturday. You know, that's the show that I do with Brad Staggs every Saturday, Saturday morning live on my ex account at Jeffrey JFR. And I talked about the guy who won the $273 million jackpot back in, I think it's 2019. But the story is fascinating because he had just divorced his wife. The divorce was final, and then he won $273 million. I mean, do you give the now ex-wife any of that? I mean, it'd be very difficult not to, at least for me, but there are others, you know,

like Brad, his answer was resoundingly no, but you'd feel bad, right? There was something there for you. Plus, this guy is so lucky. So he buys the ticket and then he forgets it. I think he bought multiple tickets. But then he forgets him at the store that he bought him. The person behind him says, after he walks out, goes, oh, he left his tickets here and gives him to the store clerk and says, if he comes back, here you go.

And he came back. And the store clerk was like, oh, yeah, we found him. He left him sitting here. And they gave it to him. And those were the winning numbers for the 273 billion jackpot. And he said that he was still looking. Now, of course, this was a few years ago, that he was still looking for the man who turned in the tickets.

I would like to say that was me. Michael, yeah, I know. The guy's name who bought the ticket and is the, you know, won the 273 million. Michael Worski in New Jersey. That was me. Yeah, I was there. It was right behind you. And I know you were busy.

You were all flustered. And come to find out, you were, you know, just getting a divorce from your wife and you were unemployed, you were doing odd jobs, and, you know, he probably life was turned upside down. And I'm glad I didn't take them. I almost did. Then I thought, no, that's just be wrong. And so I gave it back to the clerk.

So if you're looking for me and you want to, you know, do something for me, you know, you could find me. Just think about that for a second, though. If you divorce your spouse and it's final, and then you hit the lottery, a big number or a little number, you know, worth a lot of amount that's actually, you know, would make a big difference in everyone's lives. And obviously, $273 million would make that big difference. Would you then go back and give the X a little something from that pile?

I know you don't have to answer today. But I know. That's a tough one to answer. I mean, maybe you just want to buy them a house or you want to buy a house and move so they can't find you. I understand that answer as well. Well, you're still going to need a good real estate agent, no matter how much money you have, because you want to be able to buy high and sell low and you want to be able to sell high. And no, wait, I think I say that right.

You want to sell high and buy low. That's the way that's supposed to work, right? That's worked the opposite for me over the years. But now that, you know, we have real estate agents.itrust.com, I know that that will work in my benefit at some point. And it will work in your benefit right now if you're looking to move, whether it's, you know, across town or across the country. You're going to want that real estate agent.

And you're going to want an agent that works for you and someone who knows what the heck they're doing. Real estate agents, I trust.com. It's a free service. And it connects you with the top performing agents who actually care about your outcome. and they're experienced, they're vetted, they're fully committed to helping you buy or sell with confidence, whether you're moving across the country or across the town.

Look, Glenn started this company a long time ago when he thought there had to be a better way because he was dealing with sad case realtors. They didn't care. They didn't care about him. They didn't care about the house. All they cared about was trying to make their commission if they could make a commission.

And that would be to sell your house at whatever price they wanted to sell it at. a price that was legitimately fair price. And there was a better way. And he found it. And that's why he started real estate agents, I trust.com. And so if you are looking for a real estate agent, if you're going to move,

what have you got to lose? Nothing is what you've got to lose. You've got to lose a lot of money, actually is what you've got to lose. If you don't, get the best realtor working for you.

So globally, toilet paper is not the norm. Only around 30% of people use it daily. Oh, come on. Okay, sure.

So the majority rely on other methods such as water, bidet, reusable cloths, or natural materials. These practices are shaped by culture, traditions, local resources, and infrastructure. For example, much of Asia and the Middle East favor water-based cleansing, while many African and rural communities use natural alternatives. This shows how hygiene practices vary widely worldwide. Yes, yes, it does, doesn't it? Maybe we need to, you know, just because, you know, because, you know, because most of the time they're using water

means that we should, I guess, to save a tree? I don't know. I don't think they're... I didn't take it that they were trying to say anything. I'm just trying... They're just pointing out the facts of what's going on, right? And, you know, we in America believe in toilet paper,

but I'm good with badees and water cleansing. You know, but toilet paper is the way to do because we have a plumbing system that can withstand, you know, toilet paper. paper and whatever other it comes from your body and that's our plumbing system here in the United

States. If you don't have that in your country sorry about it. I know we've talked about this before on this show but you don't actually own the movies and TV shows that you purchase online. I know right?

So what's being bought isn't actually ownership of the title, but rather a limited time license for viewing access. I mean, that's where we're at. So like if you get a 499 director's cut of a movie on Amazon Prime video, if the tech giant loses the rights to that version, the movie can be replaced with the different cut, like the one for theaters. If Amazon loses the rights for the film altogether, it can just be gone away. So should Amazon be able to say that a consumer is buying that movie?

Some people don't think so, and they've turned to courts. I mean, I think we all know that that's the case. Maybe you don't, but I feel like we all know that that's the case. So a proposed class action was filed in Washington federal court against Amazon over a bait in switch, in which the company alleged misleads consumers, allegedly misleads consumers into believing they've, purchase content when they're only getting to license to watch it, which can be revoked at any time. The issue came to the forefront at the California legislature in 2023 when gamers discovered that their access to the crew would be cut off once Ubisoft shut down servers for the game.

Bastards! After the Stop Killing Games movement was born to stop publishers from destroying titles, consumers had already bought. Yeah, well, good luck with that. So we'll see. see the lawsuit accuses Amazon, which didn't respond to a request for comment, huh, of misrepresenting the nature of movie and TV transactions during the purchase process. On its website and platform, the company tells consumers they can buy a movie, but hidden in the footnote on the confirmation page, is, you receive a license to this video and you agree to our terms. Yeah, that's what I mean. I think we all pretty much know that. We take for granted that we say that we're buying it, but really

we're not, right? We know that we're not buying it. I don't know if you can't change that. What's the verbiage? Do you want to rent this for life? Which would be wrong verbiage in and of itself, right? And I don't know that people

do you end up renting or leasing more if you are, would you like to would you like to lease a limited time license? for your viewing access? Well, yes, yes, I would. I just want to watch the movie.

That's all I know. I just want to watch the movie. And if that means that I'm either, you're telling me I'm buying the movie, but I know if it goes away later, it goes away, even though I don't want it to. You know, I just, I know that it's going to be a limited time license for viewing access.

Got it. So just call it that then. Would you like to, uh, purchase a limited time license for viewing access? Yes. Yes, I would. Just as a side note, and I know many of you don't really care, but I do enjoy watching Pat McAfee on,

I don't really watch him on ESPN. I watch him on his YouTube channel, the Pat McAfee Show live. And I started watching him during COVID, actually, because he was, you know, one of the, on top of our Blaze shows here at Blaze TV and Blaze podcast and radio network. McAfee was one of the, you know, all live shows all the time all through COVID.

And I grew to like the crew and they're funny and I get their bits and, you know, some of them are. They have not, they don't realize that some of the bits they do have been done before, but that's okay. And McAfee, I like McAfee. I like his takes on a lot of stuff. Some of the stuff I don't, but, you know, whatever, I like the show. And I want to just know where I want to, where is he? Football season is about to start. His football season with Game Day is about to start.

And he's not there. He hasn't been on the show. Now, everybody else has been there, but they had fill in hosts for Pat. And I want to know what happened. Who died, who's sick. What happened? Because he just stopped.

They went on vacation for a long vacation. Then they came back for a couple days. Then ESPN did some golf tournament or something. And then they went away and he's been gone for about a week now, maybe more. And I don't know what happened. And now they're having, like Kirk Herb Street is filling in for him today. He's had some other sports, you know, experts fill in for him. Darius Butler isn't even there.

The first day that McAfee missed this week, I think, maybe it was last week. Darius was there. And then he didn't show up. Darius is like, oh, Pat's not going to be there. I'm not going to be there. And, you know, Darius isn't one of the boys. He isn't Tone Diggs or Ty Schmidt or what's his face. And Boston, Connor.

And A.J. Hawke shows up as well. I mean, it's just the whole show. I get it. But he has not been there. And I just would like to know why. I know what's going on. Is it an ESPN app contractual thing? I don't think so.

The show is still being provided. I mean, I don't know. I just, I know he's talked about being exhausted. But this has been his downtime now. So, I mean, we're getting into his exhaustion time where we're doing the McAfee show every day. We're doing college game day every week. He gave up WWE every Monday.

So I don't know. I just always want to know where the hell is Pack McAfee. That's what I want to know. That's my question. If you know where Pat McAfee is, email me, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. That'd be nice. Thank you.

Have you seen the commercials, the promos for the movie, the long walk.

It looks actually pretty good. And I did not know this, that it was written way back in 1979. I guess the movie is based on a 1979 novel by Stephen King, of course, under his pseudonym Richard Bachman. Yeah, I love Richard Bachman, but that's Stephen King. Okay, so it's about this group of men who enter into an annual walking contest. in which they must maintain a speed of at least three miles per hour or risk execution.

And the contest ends when only one walker remains alive. I don't know that the promos say that you have to maintain that three miles an hour. I think the promo makes it think like you just have to keep walking. If you stop walking, then you get killed. And it looked like, it looks pretty good. It looks pretty good. They show a guy with a broken ankle and his nasty foot trying to continue to walk. and it looks pretty good.

Their promos were pretty exciting, and they said they hooked up all these wires to people who came into the movie and their heart rate beat for faster than ever for it. But it looks worth a watch. I don't know that I'm going to see it at the theater because, you know, just because,

but it does look like it would be worth a watch, the long walk. I see where Netflix and AI put out their little rulebook said, okay, the streaming giant referred to AI tools as valuable creative aids while acknowledging the breakneck pace of innovation requires clear

guard rails. So we want to have five core rules. And this is what Netflix sent to their content creators in their world who works with Netflix. Don't copy others work. AI outputs can't replicate copyrighted material.

Protect Netflix content. AI tools can't train on or store Netflix production data. Use secure tools. Stick to enterprise approved AI platforms when possible. Final output needs approval. Brainstorming with AI is fine, but anything in the final cut requires permission. Respect union rules. Can't use AI to replace action.

or crew without proper consent. Okay. I mean, I guess this makes Netflix, you know, one of the first streamers to embrace AI-generated footage. Okay. You know, sure. Let's go ahead and do that. I mean, I know we're all in this experimental phase with AI in production,

but pretty soon it's going to be all AI. And we do want to try to keep maybe some human hands in there. Ha ha ha ha. That's funny. That's funny. Keep with human hands in there when you're letting AI in the door. Yeah, I'm pretty much sure that ship has sailed.

I thought it was better. It was better this morning. I've been doing Pat Gray every day. And I thought my voice was getting better. Whatever kind of mong I have in my throat. But as the day goes, and you know, how do you do it? I mean, I can only talk so much.

I just keep talking and talking to my voice. It's like, you've talked too much today. You've reached your limit. We're going to start sounding like crap now. So I'm just going to keep talking and try to work my way through it. So I see where Paramount said they're pulling the plug on season two of Dexter, original sin. I thought they renewed that before, but I guess it doesn't matter because we've decided we're going to pull the plug.

But they're going to move forward with Dexter Resurrection. Okay. Stephen King, his horror series, The Institute, they've re-uped that for season two on MGM Plus. And Paramount, as they just got their new merger with now they're the big sky dance world, they are going to cut, it's reported that they're going to cut 2,500 to 3,000 jobs in November. Wait, what? Nobody saw that coming. Nobody saw that coming.

Well, we did, but nobody wanted to talk about it. When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts? gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. It's just 3999. How could I resist? This luxurious wool throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner?

A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners find fabulous for less. Who died today?

Who died today? Well, let's begin with Maurice Templesman, Maurice Templesman, a major figure in the diamond industry, and known to many as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's longtime companion. Yeah, Bidniz, a partner, died Saturday in Manhattan at the age of 95, following complications from a fall. Temple's public profile rose after he became close to Jackie O, following the death of her second husband, Aristotle Onassis. I guess he figured, I'm good. She's gone through a couple.

I'm probably good. And he was. So they, after Onassis died in 75, Templesman moved in. And he maintained a discreet partnership, sharing years together in New York and at her other homes. He was separated, but not divorced from his wife, became a steady presence at Onassis's side during her final illness. and spoke at her funeral in 1994.

They first became friends in the 50s when she was married to John F and started being linked romantically in the early 80s. Interesting. So Templesman was always just hanging around, being the guy. Huh. Interesting, isn't it? Now, Temple'sman life cut across politics and he was born in Belgium in 1929 to a Jewish family that fled the Nazis.

He settled in New York, joined his father's diamond bill. and is eventually building it into a global powerhouse. So he was a diamond guy, and Jackie O, he was taking care of a little business with Jackie O for years, sounds like. Maybe it's not what they talked about, but if he was hanging around, if he was sniffing around for years,

she might have finally given in to him, even before Onassis died. But she didn't need, because if he wasn't divorced, if the other wife was still hanging on, then she still needed a husband to, you know, take care of her. And she got that with Aristotle. And then once Aristotle's gone, she doesn't need anybody.

She's got enough money. So no matter how much money Templesman had, it didn't matter because Jackie O had, what's his face is money? Onassis money. I just be speculating. So rest in peace to Maurice Templesman. dead at the age of 95. Then we have, this guy's been in the fat dead pile now for a little while and I feel bad.

I needed to mention him. John Crawley, John Crawley, dead at the age of 47. You may know him as Kingbeard X on TikTok. He's best known for, you know, his TikTok reactions to the way people eat food. you've seen him before. I know you'd seem to go, oh yeah, that guy. John Crawley, Kingbeard X on TikTok,

has died at the age of 47. I guess he's been sick, and they say that he died of cardiac arrest. He'd been in the hospital for a couple of weeks, so rest in peace to John Crawley, aka Kingbeard X, dead at the age of 47. Then out of the not dead

yet pile Natalia Natasha Nagovetsina 47 is trapped at 22,965 feet on victory peak in Krygatstan K-Y-R-G

Y-Z-S-T-A-N one of the stand countries Kergett scan whatever it is. You know what I'm talking about. It's over there with the mountains. She was injured on August 12th and her partner went down the mountain to get help. Dron footage showed her still moving as recently as three days ago,

but the temperature has dropped to 23 degrees centigrade and multiple rescue attempts have failed, including helicopter efforts. So the one Italian climber reached her and delivered supplies, but couldn't bring her down. So I'll talk to you later. Here's some supplies for you. I know you're stuck, and yeah, I can't bring you down.

So go ahead. I hope you live. Take care. I mean, that really is suboptimal. There's no doubt about that. So let's hope that Natalia, Natasha Nagovicina, 47, who was trapped at 22,965 feet on victory peak in Kragutstan, is rescued. And I don't know if this still happens or not, But I was reading a story on some, one of my social media timelines, the story passed my eyes.

And I thought, wait, what? Can you still do that? So according to this, in Japan, you can pay to vanish without a trace and it's 100% legal. Wow. So according to this, in Japan, and who knows, this might have been something that they did, you know, 100 years ago and they don't do it anymore. Honestly, I don't know. And I didn't care enough to look into it. I just thought it was kind of cool that it happened.

So we're just going to pretend that, yeah, you can still do it. All right. If you live in Japan, email me. Let me know towing the fat at the blaze.com whether someone could actually do this or not and get away with it. In Japan, vanishing from one's life is not only an act of desperation, but also a recognized phenomenon called jojato, meaning evaporation. Banzai!

Banzai! And I don't think you have to holler that. and it's definitely not called that johatsu so each year with the aid of discreet night movers thousands slip away in silence leaving behind homes debts abuse

shame or overwhelming pressure to begin again in places where no one seeks answers wow would you do that if you could? Because I have a feeling that if you could pull off a jo... Many people, let me rephrase that. I have a feeling that if many people could pull off a Johatsu, they would be screaming.

I swear every time I do one of these stories, it makes me so angry that I haven't gone through my old baseball and football and basketball cards. And I've got a bunch.

The last time I started to go through them, I think I have a small stack off to the side that I believe are ones that are worth, I don't know, 100 bucks or something like that apiece, something like that. But I haven't found any that are worth millions. But I don't know the cards that well. I need to go through them. I need someone professionally to come in. I need someone to just buy them from me. offer me a price a fair price so you know there's three tubs there i'm willing to take 150,000 right now it's going to be 150,000 i'll carry them out to your car for you okay so because now we have a

new most expensive card in hobby history the 2007 2008 upper deck exquisite collection michael jordan Kobe Bryant logo man card so it's uh michael and cobi side by side with their with the NBA logo man from one of their jerseys. In the case of Michael Jordan, his logo man was a special gold variety the league used in its 50th anniversary from 96 to 97. It just sold at public auction for $12,932,000. Oh, wow. That is incredible. Now, I don't have one of those, but, you know, wow, it'd be pretty sweet to have one.

That just edged out the Mickey Mantle card that sold two or three years ago for $12.6 million. The Mickey Mantle, the SGC, it's really, it's Mickey Mantle and it looks really cool. The previous record for any basketball card was $5.2 million, paid for $4 million. paid for a 2003-0-4 exquisite collection, LeBron James gold workie patch autographed. Yeah, that was a private sale in 2021. Okay, so that wasn't up for auction. I mean, LeBron probably bought it himself.

I don't know that. I'm just guessing. I don't know that he did. But congratulations to whoever owns, you know, the $12,932,000, Kobe Michael card, because that's pretty cool. The story of the Mickey Mantle card is pretty cool. The guy bought it from a guy who found a box of cards in an attic,

and then he gave the guy, I forget how much money, $10,000 or something like that. And then he went and he found the card, and then he sold that, and then he bought it back, and then I think he sold it again, and I think he bought it back again, and then he auctioned it off for $12 million. So, I mean, he had it in his hands two or three times where he made some money off of it on top of then selling it or auctioned it off for $12 million. Pretty incredible. And it just makes me want to go through my cards desperately.

I might do that. Actually, I'm driving myself insane enough that maybe over this upcoming three-day weekend, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday this Labor Day weekend, I may spend, you know, a few hours each day going through those cards just to see if there's anything worth any money, because Lord knows I could use it. and maybe I can find one that would help get me out of this hole that I'm in. What do you think?

Good idea? Yeah, let's try it. All right, let's get out of here. I need to give my throat a rest. And thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat. I appreciate it, even with this terrible voice. I'm not sure which one I should use today. Yesterday I gave you a Joe Green joke.

I don't know if it's the Joe Green, but it is the Joe Green who works at Walmart. I don't know if it is mean Joe Green. who had a former Pittsburgh Steeler, who now works in Walmart. And he has sent another one too. I don't know if I want to do back-to-back days with Joe Green, the Joe Green from Wally World, or if I go from Cherry, who said the following is my joke of the day entry,

but I can't remember where I heard it or read it. Okay. Well, at least Jerry's not trying to take credit for it. Female patient, doctor, doctor. I'd rather have a baby. than have my tooth pulled, the male dentist. Well, hurry up and make up your mind so I can adjust your chair. Even though I don't like dentists, you understand that he was concerned about.
