Don’t Look at Me… | 4|10|26

In this episode of 'Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher,' Jeff dives into a mix of quirky facts, safety concerns, and cultural updates. He kicks off with the staggering statistic that Japan has over 21,000 7-Eleven stores—enough to take 60 years to visit each one—highlighting the convenience culture in the country. He then shifts to a serious discussion about illegal school bus passings, citing a national estimate of 39 million violations annually, and praises the new 50-state action plan by the Governor's Highway Safety Association that includes automated stop-arm cameras to improve enforcement. Jeff shares a personal story about being short-stopped as a child, illustrating how school bus safety has evolved. He also touches on Texas’s distracted driving campaign, the declining U.S. fertility rate, and the upcoming Candy Hall of Fame Experience in Chicago. The episode wraps with baseball fun—Toronto Blue Jays’ record-breaking dollar hot dog night—and tributes to two recent deaths: actor Michael Patrick, who died at 35 from motor neuron disease, and REI’s legendary first employee Jim Whitaker, who summited Everest and helped grow the outdoor brand. Jeff closes with a joke and a plug for his other shows and subscriptions.
