Sure, the NBA playoffs are in the middle of their hype. Sure, NHL is in the middle of their hype, all playoff games. Sure, we're coming off the big weekend of the NFL draft. But, most importantly, Pita, you know them, you love them. Once again, after Major League Baseball, who's in their season that goes on for another 8th, 18 years. I think that's a season. One season in Major League Baseball is 18 years. They want Major League Baseball to get rid of the bullpen. Yes, they don't like the bullpen. They believe that

when you mention the bullpen, you know, where the relief pitchers warm up, that's terrible because it mocks the suffering of animals. And so they want, they want Major League Baseball to, you know, call it something else. Like, I don't know, the arm barn or something else. They tried this a few years ago and trying to say that it devalues pitchers and evokes cruelty toward bulls. But no, I think we need to get over that. I mean, we've called it the bullpen since, I don't know, the beginning of time. And for sure, they started calling it the bullpen forever since 1914.

So is Major League Baseball going to get rid of the bullpen because Pita wants them to? Please, please, Major League Baseball, do not do that. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So our friends at Wallet Hub have compared the nine largest U.S. airlines plus two regional carriers across what they claim are 14 important metrics. They range from cancellation and delay rates to baggage mishaps and in-flight comfort. They also considered costs in relation to in-flight amenities for the sake of fairness. For example, according to Wallet Hub, it wouldn't be right to penalize an airline that charges for drinks

if its tickets are far cheaper than those from an airline with free in-flight refreshments. So congratulations are in order. to the number one ranked Spirit Airlines in the Wallet Hub Best Airline Division. So you had Spirit Airlines, SkyWest Airlines, Delta Airlines, JetBlue Airwaves, Southwest airplanes. You know, Southwest Airlines, and they had a big to do this weekend where a lady flying from, I think, Washington, D.C., but I don't remember going to Chicago. and then as they were landing in Chicago or on their approach to landing, she stripped naked and went number two in the plane.

I mean, we've got a serious mental problem going on. And I would not want to be on that plane at all. But they're number five. I'm sure this was came out, you know, before they knew this was going on in all their airlines. Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, United Airlines, Frontier Airlines, American Airlines, and Envoy Air, wrap up the top 11 airlines, according to Wallet Hub.

So congratulations to Spirit Airlines for being number one. I've only flown Spirit one time, and while it was a tight squeeze, they were still fine, and the pilot was great, and he landed us in the middle of a storm in DFW, which I was very happy about without any inconveniences. He did have to circle the airport once. He started to come down to land and then decided, hey, we're going to go to the other side of the airport.

That's a little bit too windy and storming going this way. And so I pass by DFW airport every day, driving to and from the studios here in Los Kalinas, Texas, the greater DFW area. And they row them up. coming in. But when it's a stormy day, you don't see them all rode up because they're coming in on the other side of the airport just the way the storms come across and affect the landing

and takeoffs at DFW. So I was very happy with that. So other than that, I mean, Spirit is known for what? Fights at the gate at airports around America. So that makes them number one, I guess. Yep, that's what it does. You know, speaking of airlines, we all know the do's and don'ts or the no-noes at the airport. and on the airlines.

But I was reading a story this weekend about grocery store no-nows. And, you know, they are claiming that grocery store workers are begging you to never do these things while you're shopping. And I worked for years at a grocery store, so I understand some of them. But their list of eight big things that they don't want you to do at the grocery store. Leave items where they don't belong. That drives me insane, walking down an aisle of canned goods and seeing. you know, a couple of bananas on the shelf

or an apple sitting there or at the checkout when you're at the checkout and I guess people decide that they don't want the bananas or they don't want the celery or they don't want the spinach so they just throw it in the magazine rack. That is maddening. Just give it to the cashier.

If you don't want to take it all the way back to the produce department, please do that. Now it's bad enough that people will pick up something and walk down the aisle and go to another aisle and put it down non-perishable items. But perishable items, stop it. Use an express lane when you have too many items.

Is that a thing anymore? I don't know that that's a thing anymore because all the places have self-checkout lanes. They want you to check it out, no matter how many items you have. So I don't know that there's actual express lanes anymore. The grocery stores that I go to, I don't think that's a thing.

I haven't seen a self-checkout. It's all self-checkout now. So if you're in the self-checkout, though, it's kind of the same thing. You shouldn't have a basket full of goods to go to the self-checkout, but that's not a thing, and nobody cares, I guess. Block aisles with your cart. Oh, my gosh. You know, people stop and they just, and they're in the middle of the aisle and they're shopping

or they walk away and go to the next aisle over and leave their cart in the aisle. that's kind of frustrating. Leave your cart. Well, that's the same thing. Leave your cart unattended. Kind of the same thing as block aisles with your cart, I guess. Then they have ask to cut the line because you only have a few items. Yeah, asking is the one thing.

Like, there have been times in my life where I have been in line and someone comes up behind me with a few items in their hand and you say, go ahead. I get that, but they don't ask. If they ask, I guess you're expected to say yes. Nobody wants to hear, no, you can wait behind me. Nobody wants to hear that. Everyone expects you to say yes. And I would assume I would anyway that if I come up behind someone who has a full cart

and I just have two or three things that they would let me go ahead. But I don't know that I've ever asked, hey, can I cut the line for you? But most people are kind enough to do that. Eat your food before paying. Yeah, a lot of people think those grapes in the produce department are free, so they just eat them on the way. You know, I've had an apple before. I've had a banana before, although we usually have to check out if I eat a banana or something

while I'm checking out. I have the cashier weigh an extra banana that I ate, something like that. I mean, you should do that. But just to eat it and throw it away, yeah, that's not free food. fail to return your cart or a basket after shopping. Yeah, that's a big deal. That's number one. People get all wound up about that.

I mean, I follow cart narks, they're called on YouTube, and he blasts people all the time for not returning their carts to the cart rack in the parking lot or take them back in. Some stores, depending on where you park, it's quicker to just run. run the cart back into the store than it is to just leave it there. But just leaving it in the parking lot, yeah, that's kind of maddening. And depending on if you, if you have, you're in a parking spot and you leave it in the parking spot next to you, now you're blocking somebody else from parking there because you left your cart there.

Kind of maddening. You shouldn't take care of your carts, no question. The worst, the easiest thing I could say to people leaving their carts, like I see people leaving their carts in between the handicapped sections. Like they don't take it to the cart rack or they don't take it back into the store. But usually there's a walk space between the handicapped parking spaces.

And so they leave it in that walking space. I kind of understand that. And you can grab it. You can use it there. You know, I kind of understand that. But other than that, go ahead and return it back into the store or put it in the cart rack. And they talk about ill-prepared

at the checkout. That's something, I don't know if that happens anymore because everybody uses their card. Although, I will say, it is kind of baddening when you're in the line. And people, you know, they can't, if they're using the wrong card, they have to go through and pick if they can't spend enough money. And you just kind of got to live with it because it's frustrating for you because you want to just get in and out. But these people are struggling and you want to be able to be nice and make a go through.

but you should be prepared once you get to the checkout, no question. And, you know, there's so many little things at a grocery store that is maddening when you're shopping. One of the things that I've kind of calmed down on this, because of my years at the grocery store, like looking at produce departments, how they're laid out, how things are straightened out, shelves, products labeled facing the aisle, that kind of thing. people will just put the product on the shelf where it belongs, but they don't turn the labels facing the aisle. That's just a little grocery, inside grocery madness.

But like if you were to take a can down from a shelf and look at it and decide you don't want it and put it back up on the shelf, don't put it up backwards. Just don't. Be nice. Think of other people, would you please? Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what?

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you, call 1-866531-2-60 or visit comexonterio.ca. Let's take a minute to talk about buying and selling a home. it's a big change and any time that you have to make a big change, it's hard. And this is true when you're planning to buy or sell a home. It's complicated, it takes a lot of time, a lot of jumping through hoops, and the stakes are just about as high as they ever get in terms of financial decisions that you make.

So obviously, you need a real estate agent to help you with all of it. But what you don't want is just some ordinary agent who does this on the side. You want the best. And that's where real estate agents I trust comes in. Real estate agents I trust pairs you with the top selling real estate agents in your area. Someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and most importantly, a closer. Someone you can trust.

So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home or both, get in touch with them. You'll see exactly what I mean. Real estate agents I trust. The name says it all. Real estate agents. I trust.com. Real estate agents. I trust.

Dot com. All right. How much would you pay for a letter written by one of the most famous survivors from the Titanic? I know. I know. You're thinking to yourself,

I don't know. That amount is just, I couldn't think of an amount. Well, someone just purchased the letter. It was penned by first class passenger, Archibald Gracie, the 4th, to the seller's great uncle on April 10th, 1912. That's the day that the Titanic set sail from Southampton to New York.

It's a fine ship, but I shall await my journey's end before I pass judgment on her. And that's before, you know, it hit the iceberg and 1500 lives were lost. So it went up for auction and the letter sold for $39,000,300,000. $90. They originally thought, ah, it's probably going to go for like $60,000. Nope. We're going to sell for almost $400,000.

Wow. I realize that it's, you know, an exceptional museum-grade piece, but okay, you know, if you want it and you want to spend the $400,000, sure, go ahead. You know, he, um, when the Titanic struck the iceberg,

uh, he jumped into the wall. water or the ocean, you know, not just the water, it was the ocean. He scrambled onto an overturned lifeboat before being rescued by other passengers, and then he went to the Carpathia, which picked up the survivors the next morning. Upon return to New York, he wrote about his experience in the truth about the Titanic, which, I mean, that was, they auctioned that off as well. Gracie never fully recovered from the hypothermia. He suffered in the freezing water and succumbed to complications from diabetes in 1912.

He was the first adult Titanic survivor to die after the event. So I don't know what's going to happen to the letter, where you're going to be able to see it in the future, but someone now owns it, and they spent $39,000, well, actually, $39,390, to get the letter. So good for them, I guess. Yeah, I guess. Speaking of old things, I see where the world's oldest rock,

they erected the sign there in 1975 in Minnesota. It's in the Minnesota River Valley. It says 3.8 billion-year-old niece or nice, G-N-E-I-S, whatever they call the old stones. But no, it is not the world's oldest rock. So they need to move that sign, okay? because the world oldest rock is a 4 billion-year-old Canadian Acosta niece or Nice, G-N-E-I-S-S. And so then they say that, yeah, that particular rock in Minnesota, yeah, we were off by about 300 million years. So that's not 3.8 billion years.

In fact, the oldest rock is in Michigan. the Watersmeet niece or Nice, which the researchers estimate is at least 3.6 billion years old. So someone needs to put the sign from Minnesota in Michigan, and that needs to say that it's the oldest rock in the United States because Canada has the world's oldest rock. I'm sure that the people over at ICR, the Institute for Creation Research or of Creation Research They would have something to say about that

I would love to talk to them about that Because they don't believe that these rocks are that old at ICR And so then we have to change the signs altogether But just know that the world's oldest rock is in Canada And the oldest rock in the United States Is now in Michigan And that's right here when you're on the map That's where that rock is located at

So Minnesota, quit bragging because you don't have the oldest. Yeah, so there. Be sure to follow me on my social media platforms at Jeffrey JFR on X. Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and Instagram.

I need something cold to drink desperately. So what are you watching these days? You know, I've been hooked on Mobland, which I'm really bummed, but that's once a week on Paramount Plus. I really like hacks on Macs, really funny. And I have been really enjoying the Apple TV show. with John Ham, your friends and neighbors. Really good, really fun.

It's just a fun watch. And I know that people are all wound up about the timeline. You know, because today's world and the way security is set up, it should have been made earlier timelines too, because security isn't as good as it wasn't as good then as it is now. It's just a show, okay? And we're just happy to see this guy who got fired, you know, steal from all the other rich people

in his world. It's going to come crashing down. We know that. That's the fun of it. Let us enjoy while it's not crashing down, okay? Because even while it's not crashing down, it kind of is still crashing down. So, I mean, there's that to work for. Anyway, I'm really enjoying the show.

That's, again, once a week, though. Very, very, very, very annoying. I just want to be able to stream it when I want. and my wife started watching Game of Thrones again so we've been I've been watching it she's been going through it

38.2 global. That was, I mean, that just missed being number two. Thanks to Star Wars, so it's hanging in there pretty good. the movie is still hanging in there. Number four, they're almost at a billion now. 816.6 million. Incredible for that movie.

Until Dawn, which is a game, Sony's game adaptation struggles domestically with, yeah, I mean, until dawn, I'm not sure what that is actually. But 18.1 million. So, I mean, while it struggles, it's still got 18 million global and is at 8 million here in the U.S.

I get it. From Ted Sarandos.

The CEO of Netflix, he was at this Time 100 summit, which I'm sure was great. And he kind of ticked people off because he criticized the traditional movie theater model as outdated, stating that most of the country cannot easily access a multiplex, which I don't know that that's actually true, and emphasized that streaming services like neckflits are saving Hollywood by providing broader access to films. Yeah, I get that, no problem. You know, I know that, you know, the evolving landscape of film is a problem. And, you know, between distribution and the role of streaming platforms and movie theaters, it's an ongoing battle.

I wish they just reach out to me. Just, you know, email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com.

Who died? Or really, what died today? died today. So that would be the power in Spain, France, and Portugal. Yeah, millions. Plunged into darkness in Europe. Wow.

So the blackout created all kinds of havoc. Yeah, no kidding. The cause of the blackout is, of course, under investigation. But officials with the Portuguese energy company, R-E-N, love them,

suggested that due to extreme temperature variations in the interior of Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high voltage lines, a phenomenon known as induced atmospheric vibration. Oh, my gosh. Spain, yeah, they didn't issue any kind of response. We're looking to get the power back on. So crews are working feverishly to try to restore power as many customers to as many customers as possible before nightfall,

when temperatures will drop to cooler, but not dangerous levels. Trains in Spain and Portugal were halted. Traffic lights went dark in Lisbon and Portugal. The main airport terminals were closed following the outage. Parliament took the day off, which, I mean, I can't hurt them. Madrid opened tennis tournament postponed the day and evening matches. 50 million in the Iberian Peninsula.

blacked out. Wow. Some areas were starting to get the power on again a few hours after the outage, but a grid operator in Spain estimated six to ten hours before the majority of customers get their lights back on in some areas, and it's likely to even be longer for other areas. Holy cow. So for those of you that listen to chewing the fat in this area, I'm sure you're listening to it now because, well, the power is back on. The outage is not believed to be a result of a cyber attack. Uh-huh.

No, of course not. It's not a cyber attack when we're talking about induced atmospheric vibration. Because of the anomalous oscillations. Ugh. All right. Then we actually do have a who died today. A Victor Gerardo Contreras, 74. C-O-N-R-R-E-N.

T-R-E-R-A-S 74 is dead because his son Jamie Adrian Contreras 39 was arrested and booked because he murdered his dad.

Apparently he believed that he was well he was an alien he was being obsessed with the idea that aliens had taken over his body and that his dad we needed to harvest his organs.

Oh, okay. And so since Jamie had an extraterrestrial living inside his body, he couldn't help it that he had to kill his dad and try to attempt to harvest his organs. Oh, okay. That's great. That's good to hear. Apparently, another son found

the victim's body. He said the house smelled like rotting flesh when he arrived at the crime scene and hadn't heard from him father in weeks. I bet. Oh my gosh. I'm so sad. And I bet it was probably similar to... There was due to feces thrown all over the walls, the floor, the ceiling, and it stunk so bad. Then another person that probably wishes he was dead is this Mario Bustamante Livia, 49 from Santiago. He was arrested after he stole the luxury bag of Christy Gnome, you know, the Homeland Security Secretary. Yeah, her Gucci bag that had $3,000 in cash and prescriptions,

checks and her key card to get her into the building there at Homeland Security. Yeah, that bag, that Gucci bag that he decided to take and he didn't realize whose bag it was. yeah, he was found in arrested. They also arrested another man in Miami, who they claim are worked with him and they worked together in this crime ring. And they were both illegals in the country. They committed similar robbery screams across the country, according to authorities. So we'll see. They're part of this East Coast robbery organization.

What a mistake. I mean, A, I'm happy that they got caught. And I'm happy that we're ending some of this crime spree that's going out in this country. No question. However, that being said, what a doofus for taking Christy Noem's purse. What a doofus. I mean to tell you, that's the wrong purse. And does he get shipped back to Chile?

Does he get shipped back to El Salvador? Or does Christy don't take him to the gravel pit just like she did her dog? I don't know. He may wish for the gravel pit by the time this is all set and done. But what a huge mistake to not pay attention to whose purse it was, just the purse. Wow. That's the wrong one. I haven't seen what they recovered.

Did they recover the medications? Did they recover the cash? Did they recover the door card? did they recover the checkbook or the purse or what did they recover that's what i want to know okay to be honest christie didn't call me so you know she can if she wants i mean i'm sure as the homeland security secretary she can get my number anytime she wants positive about that with amx platinum four hundred dollars in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too.

That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. I mean, this could have gone in who died today, but very sad, where an assailant rammed a car into a Filipino heritage festival in Vancouver over the weekend, killing at least 11 people and wounding dozens more. They detained this 30-year-old man who they claim was known to police. weird and had a history of mental health incidents authorities say the attack was a lone incident and they have ruled out terrorism as a motive okay so the thing that surprises me the most and this is horrible

and we have this is insane that we're having to worry about people running their vehicles through crowds and it's very sad for all the people that are wounded and the people that were killed and their families horrific but the thing that stuck out to me the most was that they claim that up to a 100,000 people were at this festival. It's the Lapu Lapu Day Festival. It's the annual gathering that honors Datu Lapu Lapu, the chief of the island of Mactan, who defeated Spanish forces in 1521,

later becoming the first Filipino hero. Filipinos are relatively large immigrant group in Canada, comprising 10% of the country's immigrant population. I did not know that Vancouver was this Filipino head of Canada. 100,000 people to this festival, that is huge. I'm sure that those all weren't Filipinos, Jeff. No, I know. I get it.

But still, 100,000 people to show up for the Lapu Day Festival. Okay. Oh, wow. All right, great. I was not aware of Lapu Lapu. And the Lapu-Lapu Day, which is the 27th. Because apparently the Filipino warriors, this was a victory of Lapo-Lapu

and his Filipino warriors against Spanish invaders led by Ferdinand Medellin on April 27, 1521. So on this day, in this battle, Lapu-Lapu led a group of fighters. who repelled an invading force of 49 Spaniards under the leadership of Magellan who was killed in the fight. Wow. Okay.

So it's the Battle of Mactan. Lapu was a native Mactan, and some argue he is the earliest known indigenous Visian Muslim or Vissan Muslim chieftain from the island. So they were busy party in Vancouver on Lapu Lapu And that's when tragedy struck.

And this 30-year-old decided to ram his vehicle into completely innocent people and kill, I don't know, at least 11 and wounding dozens more. Just unthinkable. And whatever happens to him is a real, real shame. And it can't happen fast enough. So we had the power go out, or this blackout in Spain, France. and Portugal. And then, so now I see a headline that talks about how Apple and META were fined $570 million to $200 million. Apple got $570 million.

A meta was fined $200 million. By the European Union for allegedly breaching the Block's Digital Markers Act, which seeks to prevent tech giants from monopolizing digital markets. I'm sure they didn't have anything to do. with the blackout. Right? Of course. Yeah, no, they would have,

they would not have, I don't even know what I was thinking. Never mind. All right, let's get out of here. This joke of the day, kind of a big guy joke, but I've been kind of laughing about it for a couple of days.

This was sent from John. And the joke is a man has a crush on his proctologist. And he makes an appointment to see the doctor. The somewhat dismayed, doctor who is wary of the patient's unwanted advances reluctantly asked the patient to disrobe and lay on the table. The doctor, to his amazement, you know, looks where he's supposed to look as a proctologist and finds one, two, no, three red roses in this man's rectum. Rectum. Darnie killed him. And as he's pulling even more roses out, he exclaims, holy!
