With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. We've talked about the new trash rule in New York that hopes to eliminate rats in the city. And they've had their big special cleanup week.

in the city, well, that isn't working out really well because we have the latest tourist attraction, rat tours in NYC. And you can go and take a tour. It's a phenomenon that's now exclusive to New York City, but I'm sure coming to a city near you very soon. And people are looking for rat related experiences. Now, there's a couple of guys that are doing a rat-top. on TikTok, that is awesome. I was watching one of the rat talks, and they're showing rats in a closed store at Grand Central Station, and they're calling it as like the rat zoo.

And then they show they're fishing for rats in the alley, and they have a fishing pole with some bread on the hook, and they toss it down the alley behind the dumpster, and the rats are coming out after the brats. and they're trying to catch the rats with the bread. That is hilarious. Now, it's not hilarious if you live in New York and you're concerned about the rat issue

or even if you're just walking down the street and there's a huge rat issue because bags of trash are sitting along the curb and the rats are all in the bags of trash. They show one video has the stack of trash bags and people are walking down the street and the guy hits the mountain of trash bags and these rats just kind of running out

and people are like, ah, ha ha ha ha. I'm not a fan of rats at all. I do not like them. Sam I am. I do not want green rats and ham. I don't. I do not like it.

Sam, I am. But if you're, you know, if they're there, you might as well use them for an event and have rat tours going on in New York. That's, That's America right there. That's the American dream. Something bad happens and people are out there trying to earn a living,

trying to make a difference in America. So if they're taking you on rat tours and showing you rat zoos around different buildings in New York City, that is America. God bless America. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fats. Well, speaking of rats, okay, not really rats. They're bad.

But rats are like, you know, flying rats. They have rabbit bats. No, let me rephrase that. They have rabid bats in Utah, okay? They have, which is now, I want to go on a record to say, that's not good. So in the last month, the state has had four bats test positive for rabies. So parents in Utah are now being urged to keep their children away from bats. Now, I don't know.

My kids probably would have stayed away from bats on their own. But I don't know that. I may have told them, hey, kids, you see a bat flying around, stay away from it, okay? But that's just me. So the other two bats were diagnosed with the disease, which is nearly always fatal in humans. One was found lying in a local skate park and the second on a residential street. I will say when I was a kid, I had a bat. on a sidewalk that I picked up in a jar.

I was walking home and was close to my house, and I remember seeing the bat on the sidewalk going, oh my gosh, that's the bat. And I remember kicking it with my foot, and it was just kind of, it couldn't fly, it still could flap the one wing. So I ran home and got a jar and had the bat in the jar, the mayonnaise jar.

And I kept them there for a while until there was no more. It was over. he was dead Yeah, it was done. I didn't I didn't hook to bat up to the hospital machines. But had I done that,

that's what would have happened. I used to, I had a bunch of jars because I used to catch bees. That's a whole other story. So, just let that one go. If you're in Utah, just know that you've got rabid bats around, and you need

to be careful for you and your children to keep away from the from the bats and make sure your pets stay away from the bats as well. At least four other states, Colorado, Florida, Ohio, and South Carolina have also reported rabid bats over the last month.

Wow. Okay. I mean, in Florida, they have one county, a nearly half a million people under a two-month alert for the disease. What county in Florida? Oh, Seminole County. Yeah, I mean, that's just around Orlando, north of Orlando, in that neck of the woods.

Wow. So they've issued an alert after the rabid bats were found. Nice, nice. So just be careful out there. Rabid bats are now starting. to take over multiple states. No rabies cases or deaths in humans have been reported in any state to date.

But officials say an average of 15 vats test positive for the virus every year. We're not even close to that yet. We're like what, like six or seven. So I don't even worry about it. Stop worrying about it. You know what? Utah, Florida, South Carolina. Yeah, I don't care about Ohio.

You can worry about the Ohio. Yeah, they can have the rabbit dads. But the other states, be concerned. Okay, the Ohio thing was just a joke. Stop it, okay? Stop being mad. I know you're already screaming. He always talks about hating Ohio.

I know. It's just a joke, okay? I was raised to hate Ohio. It's tough to get it out of my system. I don't anymore, though. Okay, I've gotten rid of my hatred for Ohio. kind of but I mean it's just I is just a joke okay I don't really want people in Ohio to get rabies from bats I don't stop looking at me like that speaking to Florida though I see where an underwater search

team that specializes in missing persons cold cases have discovered approximately 30 cars submerged in a south Florida lake I'm sure sure it's just an accident. I'm sure it's just accidental. So now, dive teams from multiple agencies are recovering vehicles from the lake. And of course, you know, investigations will be ongoing. It's unknown if these vehicles are linked to criminal activity. Uh-huh. But a team of search corps divers found the sunken cars while searching the lake for vehicles connected to cold cases under investigation. And they found all these. 32 cars have been found in this lake.

I'm sure it's just coincidence. Just complete coincidence. I did see a story about what to do if your car goes into a lake. So this is a tip I saw on social media, and it says a lot of people have drowned simply because they didn't know. and if you find yourself underwater in a car. Don't panic. One, don't waste your energy trying to push the door.

Two, do not open the window. The force of the water entering the car will not allow you to get out. Three, take out the head restraint. That's the first thing on my mind. If I would have gone underwater in a car, the first thing on my mind would have been, Oh, I've got to take out the head restraint. It is now, okay?

Four, use the steel sharp tip to break the back window that has kickout glass on it. So now I got to get out of the front seat. My car just went underwater. I got to get out of the front seat. I got to take the headrest off. Okay. And now I'm sorry, the head restraint. And I got to take that off.

And then I've got to get into the back seat. and use that to get, punch out the back window. Okay, no problem. Now, the car by engineering and design is intended to float in the water and the rear window will always be facing the exit. So, you know, your car will then float up with the tail end sticking out of the water

and you can swim out and be safe. So your car will still be in the water underwater and it might be you know it won't be one of the 32 found by accident in a lake. Yours will be you know good safekeeping. So there you go if you ever

find yourself underwater in the drink. I almost went to the drink once in an accident and I don't know that I would have known. I would have drowned. I would not have gotten out of the truck I don't think had I gone into the drink because it was close

and I spun out. out on a bridge and had I gone over into Tampa Bay, it would have been, uh, it had been over. Uh, yeah, Florida man drowns in his Dodge red pickup truck in Tampa Bay. Uh, he hydroplained on the bridge, spun around three or four times, hit the guardrails, went into the drink and did not get out. Yeah, because I had smashed the first smash. of that. I've talked about this accident before. So I'm a hydroplane and I was trying to

and it was like 4 o'clock in the morning. And I started spinning out and I thought I could get control of it, but no. And so it started to spin around. And the first slam into the guardrail, my seat broke. So I'm laying flat down in my truck

and it's still spinning around. And I'm spinning around, spinning in the road and then it hits the guardrail again. And blows around it and I come to a stop. So I sit up And I'm like half I'm up against the side of the bridge And I'm half out into the lane on the bridge

It's raining And I'm like I'm dead here I'm dead here But I can't move And it's storming, it's raining I thought for sure You know here comes a car So here comes a car

And a truck stopped And the guy runs up to my truck And I'm very thankful that he did But I didn't want to get out Because it's storming and raining I just kind of roll down the window I'm fine, thanks and then I called in my own traffic report

and I had the fire department come I believe I'm the only person in America this is a fun fact for Jeff Fisher and chewing the fat I believe I am the only person in America who's ever called in their own accident live traffic report on the radio station because I did that and so you're welcome

and then after the rescue team came and they took care of the cops came and the police officer knew who I was from the radio station and he was like yeah I won't write to you nobody else was around nobody happened it's just you yeah I'm gonna give you a ticket you fine just tell the insurance company whatever you want to tell them and I'll give you a ride to the station the station was just on the other side of the bridge because I give you a right and so I ended up getting a new car after that because the truck was

to do-old. And the company that towed it said, hey, you still owe us for towing. No, I don't. I'm not going to pick up my truck. So you do whatever you have to do. You sell it for whatever you want to sell it for. But I'm not giving you a penny.

Okay? And we're done. Thanks for calling. All right, let's go to the break room. need something cold to drink desperately. Okay, a couple big albums. I see where Olivia Rodriguez is going to drop her second album this week called Guts. Good for her.

It's about time. What have you been doing? Olivia just living off that first album making us love you and all the big hits off of that album. Let's go. She actually is doing that and putting on a second album. And then I see where the Rolling Stones, we've talked a little bit of, about it in the past, but now I guess we've got the press releases coming out that they're going

to release new music. They're preparing to release their first album of original material in 18 years. Wow. Titled Hackney Diamonds. The band will share the release at an event in East London's

Hackney District today. Today, awesome. Jagger, Keith Ricketts, we'll see that everywhere tonight and tomorrow. for sure. Be ready for that. Hackney diamonds and we'll see the stones talking about that as well.

Yeah, it's going to be live streamed. So you'll be able to catch it. Well, that'll be everywhere tomorrow. We'll have to talk about that tomorrow and see what they sound like. They're probably, I don't know, you know, I don't know if they're going to wheel them out in whatever electric vehicles they have to be on.

But we shall see what it looks like. But congratulations to the, Two of the stones on that. Oh, did you see where, uh, incredible, uh, Joe Jonas has now filed for divorce from Sophie Turner. I know. They, uh, it is irrelevably broken. So Sophie is, uh, I guess she's been out partying a little bit too much. And Jonas is like, yeah, we're done.

All right. Uh, uh, the marriage between the parties is just irritate. really broken. The petition also reads that the children have been residing with Jonas in Miami and other locations throughout the country. It is in the best interest of the minor children that the parties have shared parental responsibility. It also indicates that the couple had a prenuptial agreement. So Jonas is keeping the kids. Sophie can do what she wants. She's out partying. They have two young kids. and if you don't remember Sophie Turner, she was in Game of Thrones.

As Sansa Stark, and that was a lucky role for her. Oh my gosh, I mean, anybody that was in that series, that was a lucky series, and they all made fortunes. And good for them. You know, good for them. Although she has tried to do her, she tried her career at other things, and it really hasn't worked out for her because she sucks.

but she was in Dark Phoenix, which sucked, and X-Men the Apocalypse. I mean, they've given her some roles to make her some more money, and she just is not good at all. So that's why she's in New York partying, and the kids are with Jonas, they're staying there, and that's fine,

we're getting a divorce, and we've mutually decided to amicably end our marriage, okay? There are many speculative narratives as to why. Yeah, there are. But this is truly a united decision, and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children. Of course we can.

Of course we can. No problem. Just that you screwed up a marriage, Sophie, and you left the kids with the hubby. That's all. There's no speculation on that. We see that actually to be true. Don't we? Okay, so apparently, as I'm sitting here,

I see where the stones have released an actual video from the new album. Now, the new album, Hackney Diamonds, and they're going to have a big event today in London's East, I'm sorry, East London's Hackney District. I don't want to disrespect the Hackneys, okay? But they have released a video, and with the video, they actually had audio on it, which was the song. And the song is angry old men or just angry, just angry, not angry old man, not angry junkies, not angry kids, just angry.

It's the name of the song. Okay, let's hear the new stones. Okay. I think we got another hit. Yeah, don't get angry with me, baby. Yeah. Yeah. All right, the Rolling Stones.

That's their newest song release. from Hackney Diamonds and angry. Big Jagger, 80, 80! Still cranking out the hits on CTF. It's already a hit. I mean, it's already in my head. Why get angry with me? It's already there.

It's the stones, man. Come on. It's the rolling freaking stones. Just stay away from bats. That's all I'm saying. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost,

I know I talked about it yesterday, and I can't stop thinking about it. No, not the New Stone song, although it's still in my head.

I will say Starfield, the action role-playing game on Xbox Windows and produced by Elder Scrolls and Fallout creator Bethesda Game Studios. I've seen the last two or three gaming awards, there have been promos for Starfield. And I keep saying, okay, let's have it. I mean, it's got, it would be cool to work on it because they're creating. different worlds on all these different planets. And then on top of that, you've got to get to the planets. And then what happens on the planets and the interaction between the characters on the planets and the spaceships and the different spaceships that you can create?

I mean, it is so cool. I mean, there's thousands of fictional planets and you travel, you build outposts. It's just really, really cool. and you're going to lose days. I mean, you're going to be immersed in this game. And it releases today. It is so cool. And I hope it is as good as it's been portrayed as

because it's been portrayed or I was ready to dive in right then. And so my son better buy it is all I'm saying. I better have it in my house, okay? It's all I'm saying. That's it. That's all I'm saying. And my son better have it so that I can immerse myself into one of my worlds, it's all. And if he doesn't get it, then, you know, I'm kicking them out, really.

Let's just be honest. I'm kicking them out. And he'll be mad because we're going to have to start a new Talking Walking Dead. I think next week, right? The new Daryl Dixon show starts this week, this weekend, the 10th on AMC Plus. So we'll have a new Talking Walking Dead coming next week because, of it. You got to talk about the Daryl Dixon show, and the previews looked great. So if I kick my son out, I mean, it'll be a, it'll be difficult for him to be part of the show.

He'll be bummed. Did you see where their Spotify apparently is in, I don't know if they're in trouble, but it's been announced that they've lost a bunch of money. And they're saying that they've hemorrhaged money, like $600 million in the last six months. Now, they claim that they've had. invested a billion dollars into building its podcast empire. And they have four million shows of which, I mean, technically I guess this show is one of those shows.

I am on Spotify. Although I haven't gotten a part of the billion dollar Spotify money dump. I'm here, Spotify, if you need me, you can email the show Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. You can direct message me on X at Jeffrey JFR or, you know, Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and Instagram, I'm here for you. I'm here for you. You can even message to be on YouTube chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. I'm here for you. And you know what, Spotify? If you need a cameo,

reach out at Jeffrey JFR. I'll give you a cameo at a fair price. All right? Because that's not free for anyone. Even Spotify. But I'm just, I'm here. I'm just letting you know. I'm here. So they believe that there are major deals with Megan and Barack Obama. and Kim Kardashian,

you know, it hasn't really worked out like they had hoped. No, I don't think it's that bad, but, I mean, that's not Delta Airplane pad, but it's not that bad. But it is, they seem to be hammering, huh, so that's strange that nobody, you know, they get a lot of numbers,

but nobody gives a crap about it, right? I mean, that's part of the deal. So they want to claim that it's, you know, they're zealous overinvestment in podcast, I don't know. We'll see. They claim that, hey, that's our plan. Back off us. That's our plan. Really? Yes. Yes, it is. We lost $565 million in the last six months up to June on $6.65 billion in revenue. Okay. The firm is now worth $31 billion down from $70 billion at the peak. of its powers in 2021. And according to the execs,

they claim that this is all part of a master plan for long-term profitability. Oh, okay. Well, I mean, we had the Royals, we got rid of the Royals, right, as for Archwell podcast or whatever they called it.

And then the Obama's left. And then Kardashian Kim was supposed to, I thought Kim was supposed to have a big deal on Spotify, but then that went dark. I'm not quite sure if that's still ongoing or if it's, they did a whole eight episode thing with Kim and then it just went away. I mean, they had to go beg Megan to finally do a podcast, which, you know, then did, I guess had big numbers in the beginning.

But, you know, she put on a couple of guests. Big name guest, and then that was it. And Harry showed up once in a while. I mean, it's just a strange situation that it's not so difficult to put on a, do a podcast. I mean, Joe Rogan has got their, Joe Rogan's their number one guy. I mean, he's the number one guy out there anyway. All right, so whatever they're paying him, I don't know, it's reported. He's got, what, a couple hundred million dollar deal with Spotify?

And what does Joe do? Here's how difficult it is. He brings in a guest and they talk. Wait, what? Yeah, that's how difficult it is. And Megan and I guess I just couldn't figure it out. I just, it's so strange to me. But this is just another reminder to Spotify.

I'm here. And speaking of making money, I see where Only fans received $338 million in dividends last year, more than a million dollars for each working day. So, right hello hi how y'all doing yes i'm baking bread in my kitchen today oops did i just drop my sweater on the floor here in the kitchen damn i hope i don't get flour all over me that's my only fan's account right there is in the kitchen as i'm baking bread

just clothes accidentally falls off of me while I'm baking the product. I think it's a pretty smart. I think it's a good business plan. Yeah, I think it is. This is awesome. So the owner of Onlyfans took home about a million dollars a day.

Good for him. Leave him alone. What are we doing? His nine figure bonus equates to roughly $1.3 million each day. Again, so what? We've created this platform where everyone is making money

and I get to watch whatever the hell I want to watch. That's what makes America great. Okay? It's the internet, Jeff. Anybody can watch is not just America. That's not my point. All right, I'll calm down. Why are you so angry at me?

Hey, that's a stone song. Boating for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. What? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo. Great idea. Feel the fire. With all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements.

What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Feel the fun. The morning will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating. 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close to you, call 186653310 or visitcomicsontera.ca.

So I see where Facebook, I'm sorry, meta, is going to discontinue Facebook news in England, France, and Germany. by the end of the year. So that's going to end payments to the publishers for carrying their content on the platform in the affected countries. Oh, that's interesting. That is interesting.

Isn't it? Yeah. At the same time, I see where, I mean, AI has started to permeate our life everywhere. Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok have tried to keep a little bit of a tight lid on the sexualized content. Well, you know, they've banned nudity outright, almost all cases, you know.

But if you, you know, start going through your reels, it's pretty close. It's pretty close. And, I mean, yeah, it is pretty. It's definitely close. Oh, yeah. Hey, look at I'm almost naked. I'm everything but naked. Okay.

Although I did see a girl yesterday on one of my scrolls through Instagram. I don't If she had panties on It was they were see-through But you couldn't You know what I mean She was sitting on a counter And you know

You know what you do when you sit on a counter I mean I mean that's what she was expecting There's no doubt about that I'm sure she got it from some guys She didn't get it You can quote me on that Anyway, so there's a new kind of sexualized content that's been getting through the moderation systems.

Ads for scantly clad and dirty-talking chatbots powered by their creators. It's by artificial intelligence. So dozens of tech startups have been running explicit advertisements on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook in the recent months for apps that promote not safe for work experience. The ads promise NSFW picks, custom pin-up girls and chats with no censoring, and many of them featured digitally created potential girlfriends with whatever you want. I mean, it with large breasts, small breast, tight clothing, whatever you want. It's whatever you want, whenever you want it.

I remember a chef told me that at an event once. Jeff, whatever you need, wherever you want. And that's where we're at right now. ahead of his time. So some ads use memes that include popular children's TV characters. Yeah, nothing makes me hotter than SpongeBob Squarepants or Bart's his... Cookie Monster. Any now, man, you want to hook me in? Or is it not safe for work content? Hook me in with SpongeBob naked.

Isn't SpongeBob naked already? I mean, he's actually literally naked? No, he does the pants on, right? He's got the tie. Yeah, yeah, never mind. So NBC News looked into this and found 35 app developers running sexually explicit ads on apps owned by meta. Interesting. That the apps themselves that are breaking the algorithm are still meta apps. Huh. Ha!

That's interesting. So the developers were running more than a thousand. thousand ads in all, many of them easily discoverable and viewable on meta's online library of ads, which the public has access to. There were 14 app developers running hundreds more sexually provocative AI ads on TikTok. And it wasn't clear, though, how many of them were seen in the U.S., and they were the same ads that appeared on meta. Okay, so they're crossing all the platforms. So anyway, that's where we're at.

We do have the, I mean, we do have a new company, Accrete, A-C-C-R-E-T-E, Accrete AI. They just were awarded a Department of Defense contract because they're going to deploy software that can predict and counteract disinformation on social media platforms in real time. Isn't that interesting that the Department of Defense is going to have this software that can predict and counteract disinformation on social media platforms in real time? Huh? According to the company's CEO, Prashant Bjorn, he claims that the software will be able to predict and neutralize harmful viral disinformation. Yeah, you don't want, you don't want any. just saying what they want. We can't have that. We cannot have that.

The Special Operations Command Award alleged a use of AI to predict and neutralize this information calls into question the software's inability to discriminate idiosyncrasies. What? Since the technology cannot observe the natural word including America's constitutional endowed freeings. Yeah. Yeah. We don't want people saying what they want to say.

Can't have that. Anyway, that's good news, right? That's good news. And then I read a story about how strong AI and robots are taking over Las Vegas. We knew it was happening. It's happening all over. But how strong it is in Las Vegas. So machines are pouring drinks for customers instead of human bartenders.

AI chatbots are offering recommendations once provided by concierge. robots are starting to prepare and serve food at Vegas eateries. Technological progress is par for the course since companies have always looked for ways to save money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hollywood writers are striking to protect their craft from AI domination. Good luck with that. I want everybody to get what they want, by the way. That's all I don't care.

Whatever you want, I will hope you get it. All right. But how many jobs are going to be gone in Vegas soon? I mean, in the next decade, there's going to be a lot of jobs that are not done by humans any longer. And then what are the humans to do? I mean, if you're not looking to, if you're in Vegas, you should be figuring out how to take care of the robots. How to fix them, how to make sure how to oversee them. how to break them.

No, I mean how to fix them and how to, so that you have a job, so you have a gig. Otherwise, you're going to be the person that's breaking them. And it's not going to be pretty. For you or the robot. I mean, holy cow. Times are, we live in amazing times.

We live in amazing times. Stay away from the bats, though. The bats have rabies. careful. That's one thing the robots don't have is rabies. So it's all good, right? Right. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content
