Starting point is 00:00:41 McDonald's is bringing back the double Big Mac. Yay! So it's coming back on the 24th of January 2024. It's going to be back in the U.S. after initial launches in Canada
Starting point is 00:00:58 and great Britain, originally scheduled for a U.S. release in 2020. That's what I thought. I thought we had talked about this huge comeback of the double Big Mac, but it was delayed, of course, thanks to COVID. So the sandwich featuring four beef patties, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, and special sauce. Why, you know, of course they say, well, we're catering to the large beef burger customer. Yeah, I would say so.
Starting point is 00:01:32 McDonald's aims to address an unmet customer need for larger high-quality burgers at an affordable price. Is it affordable? Because we have not disclosed how much it's going to cost us. But that's what they say. At an affordable price as part of its global expansion strategy. Yay! So be prepared to order your... Double Big Mac at McDonald's later this month.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Oh no. Oh no. I'm not even going to let you introduce me because I'm pissed at you. You just started this stupid podcast with a dumbass story about McDonald's, knowing that you have a in-house McDonald's, you know, do-boy that can give you dates, prices can give you
Starting point is 00:02:32 all that, but you decided to just give yourself Well, you were in the other room. Okay, so, all right, the double Big Mac. Double Big Mac is coming to my time. And of this month, or at least after the initial launches in Canada
Starting point is 00:02:48 and Great Britain, has it already been launched in Canada and Great Britain? It already been launched in Canada and Great Britain. And it said that it's going to be they are addressing an unmet customer need. very need of double meats. For a larger, high-quality burgers.
Starting point is 00:03:04 It is high-quality. Affordable price. What is the affordable price? $8.59. Is that true? It will be true. $8.59. Think about it.
Starting point is 00:03:19 A regular Big Mac is $5. Yeah. So you add another slice of meat, which is $1.59 per meat. Because. Yeah. I mean, you're getting four beef patties, not to mention the lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, and special sauce. Which, by the way, so if McDonald works in equations,
Starting point is 00:03:43 a quarter pounder, which is one quarter. Yeah, that's how that works. That's what it's called a quarterponder. The meat for the cheeseburger and the Big Macs are the same, which is one-16th. Okay. So if you put. you don't even
Starting point is 00:04:00 they're doing math if you put four of those that is four sixteenths of meat you do the calculation and the math yeah go ahead
Starting point is 00:04:11 do that do the calculation and the math you know carry the one well you have to carry the one you have to carry the one
Starting point is 00:04:20 but then you know you go so if we put the 18 minute together along with the seven minutes you got 22 minutes you sell it with eight minutes to add you got 30 minutes
Starting point is 00:04:28 I mean, first of all, that's a fact. I used it my bit, my own bit, to discuss the McDonald's double Big Mac. Okay, all right, fine. $8.59. That does not seem like an affordable price, but I guess under the guise of McDonald's, claiming that it is part of their high-quality burgers
Starting point is 00:04:55 addressing an unmet customer need, $8, $8, $0, almost $9, for the double big back. Well worth it, I would say. Well, well worth it. Now, where I was headed before I was so rudely interrupted, you know, I've always wanted a Guinness book, a world record. Always wanted to hold a record.
Starting point is 00:05:17 And there are several, you know, on my list that I'm going to hold. However, we do have some sad news, according to Guinness. The world's oldest dog ever has now lost its title. I know. I'm sad too. So they're reviewing the deal, the honor, because they put both the titles for oldest dog living and oldest dog ever. We're temporarily pausing that,
Starting point is 00:05:50 just until our findings are in place. Oh, okay, well, what seems to be the problem? Because I thought the oldest dog was that dog down in Portugal that was said to have been 30 years and 268 days when it was named the world's oldest by Guinness World Records. That was last year. And then in October of last year, they decided that that dog died.
Starting point is 00:06:21 and that was 31 years and 163 days. Now, however, doubts have been raised over whether he really was the oldest canine ever. Despite his birth apparently being confirmed by the Portuguese government's pet database, and I'm sure that we can trust the Portuguese government's pet database and the National Union of Veterinarians love them. There's a picture with his award.
Starting point is 00:06:51 with the dog. So it's Bobby or Bobi, B-O-B-I, was a pure bread, a breed of livestock guardian dog with the average life expectancy of 12 to 14 years. Bad skeptics that said, hey, the photos that you have of Bobi Bobby in his youth
Starting point is 00:07:16 would show him with white paws when they were brown in his later years. So I guess that means it was a different dog. So they're withdrawing the title until the investigation is completed. So we shall see. We'll also see where the rocket ship, the astro-robotic rocket ship, the paraguined spacecraft,
Starting point is 00:07:47 where that lands on Earth, if it lands at all. They now said, remember they took off, and they had an anomaly with the propellant leak. And so they tried to maneuver it so that the solar panels could work, and they tried to get it going. And they said in the original story, yeah, we're just trying to maneuver it, it's going to go, and it's just floating in space.
Starting point is 00:08:12 And they didn't say anything about where it was going to end up. Everyone just assumed, you know what happens when we assume that it was just going to take off and fly into space. Nope. The new data from JPL Horizons, yes, it's looking like it's going to return home. And it's going to probably, I don't know, impact Earth over the Great Barrier Reef on the 18th of January, 2024, which is, I don't know, tomorrow. For those of you listening live, today is the 17th of January 2024. But we still don't know. We're hoping that it burns up.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Just amazing. I mean, it had quite a payload on it, right? It had 14 commercial payloads, including small rovers, a larger rover, and another one named Andy, which not sure. That came from Carnegie Mellon University. I'm not sure what Andy was going to do. I guess there was going to wander around the moon, too. But the other payloads on it included a library and microprint on nickel.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Okay. It had space burial companies, Assyllium and Celestus paid astrobotic to carry the human remains, which obviously the Navajo Nation were against that altogether. So now it's just going to burn up in space and it's just gone away. Now we think it's going to be over there, but we're not really sure and it may burn up over there. Some parts may end up not burning up coming through the atmosphere, but we just don't know. Interesting. You know, I was driving, listening to this podcast live and I was, I'm a longtime subscriber
Starting point is 00:10:11 to this podcast, first time caller. But I was trying to find the feed. I was trying to find the feed to watch you live. As you just say live, that you're live. I, as an old listener and first time caller, I want to make sure that the new listeners in the future callers, how do I get to watch you live in this feed, please?

Starting point is 00:12:18 See app for details. Earlier this week on Pat Gray unleashed, I heard Pat talking about his email that he got from Jimmy Kimmel. And he was all happy about doing Jimmy Kimmel and they were going to pay him money and he couldn't believe that it wasn't a scam. Well, it is a scam.
Starting point is 00:12:36 I'm not quite sure what they get out of it. But, I mean, it doesn't count as I get emails all the time from different shows. Some pay, some don't. It doesn't count the ones that want to advertise on my Facebook page for thousands of dollars,
Starting point is 00:12:56 or the overseas banker that has an account that wants me to claim and hold the millions of dollars for a certain percentage once it's cleared. Doesn't count that. My last one was from Joe Rogan management and from a Jeff Sussman.
Starting point is 00:13:12 That one doesn't offer me any money. It wants me to be part of their podcast segments and it gives me a couple of slots available times, but it didn't offer me any money. So then I went back into my emails, and I found, it started, I mean, I stopped in November of last year, right? And I got one that started out with, Hey, Mate, and they have an online event.
Starting point is 00:13:40 This one is going to pay me 2K USD for each episode, a max one hour podcast. Okay. then the next one is going to offer me compensation of $3,000 for my participation in the podcast episode and it gives me a couple of slots the same slots that the other emails have so I don't know if they're up against each other but this was to podcast and chill with MacG so that's good That's good. The other online event is still, oh, that's Chill and MacG too. So there's two.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Okay, so Chill and MacG here offer me 2K USD. And this second one with Chill with MacG is 3,000. It's not USD though, but it's 3,000 with a dollar insignia behind it. And then there's this one that I got back in the very first part of November of 2023. Hi, I'm a beauty influencer and YouTuber. All right, and they want to invite me on their live session to discuss my knowledge and incredible experiences, which, I mean, when you think of beauty influencer and YouTuber,
Starting point is 00:15:02 you think of me, Jeff Fisher, right here on chewing the fat. They have a live session on Facebook about nature, beauty, and photography. That's wonderful. And they want me to be a part of it. They're going to, it'll take more than a half. an hour, but it's a paid live session. We'll pay you $2,500 insignia, USD,
Starting point is 00:15:24 and would be incredibly honored if I joined them. So I'm not quite, I can't figure out what the scam is, unless I have not replied to these yet, so I've got to reply to one of them. I have a feeling that it's the reply, that then they have access to my email, they have access to my accounts.
Starting point is 00:15:44 I've not. There's no. no links to anything just to reply to the email. And so let's take a look at the Joe Rogan one. While I'm not opposed to being on the Joe Rogan podcast, I don't know that Jeff Sussman from Joe Rogan Management. And I love this, this is the headline. I hope this letter finds you well.
Starting point is 00:16:12 I am Jeff Sussman from Joe Rogan Management, period. is a very famous comedian, comma, actor, comma, and podcaster from the U.S. period. We would love to invite you to take part in our upcoming podcast session on Facebook. Okay, so
Starting point is 00:16:30 man, Joe Rogan on Facebook is huge, right? Never mind that $100 million deal on Spotify. Joe Rogan joining him on Facebook would be huge. So I'm not real sure what?
Starting point is 00:16:46 how they're getting you, but I'm not replying to that. I am not replying to that. Although, I mean, who couldn't use the money? All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.
Starting point is 00:17:11 This past December, drug shortages hit a record high, and this has been causing severe disruptions in medical treatments.

Or, you know, if that doesn't, happen for you and you can reply to the emails. And if you've got extra money, whether you know, replied to an email or you won the lotto,
Starting point is 00:20:00 tomorrow there's an auction called Julian's Unstoppable Signature Stiles of iconic women in fashion auction. It's going to take place tomorrow, as I said, it includes dresses that were worn by Audrey Heppern, Princess Diana. And you can also get the Carrie Bradshaw ballet dancer dress. Wow, that she is in the open of the show, Sacks in the City, which the lady that was the fashion dingoberry on the show, she bought it out of a thrift store for like five bucks.
Starting point is 00:20:43 So, man, you can spend some money on that. I think the bidding begins on most of it for about $2,000. And then, you know, good luck getting it for that. I'm sure that the Kerry Bradshaw dress will be worth a lot more than $2,000. But be sure to log on to the auction and see what you can get. See what you can get because, man, there is nothing. like owning a dress by Audrey Hepburn. Am I right?
Starting point is 00:21:22 Yeah, you know I am. And that tutu dress that Carrie wore was just awesome, and it made her just look so pretty. And it was just such a great show. You know what I'm saying? I think you do. I was forced to watch that show, by the way. So, uh, oh, look at me like that.
Starting point is 00:21:42 I was. I was forced to watch it. And, uh, you know, the character's great. on you. There's no doubt about that. You know, yesterday we talked about how well the ratings did on Peacock for the NFL. They, you know, had
Starting point is 00:21:56 23 million. And I talked about the Emmys, and we talked about Elton getting his Egot at the Emmys, and it was the most diverse Emmys of all time. But they hadn't released the numbers yet for the show, and we knew it was up against the NFL and it was up against
Starting point is 00:22:12 Iowa, the caucuses. And so we finally got the numbers, according to this, the audience hovered around 4.3 million people. Now, it says in the stories, all the stories are trying to make it seem like it was okay. Ratings were the lowest in two years. Really? The lowest in two years. Yeah, you know, since the award shows back in 2022.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Oh. Oh, okay. What were those numbers? Well, back in 2022, they were a record low point of five. 5.9 million viewers. So this is a record. 4.3 million. I mean a ghost town watching the Emmys.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I told you they don't. They need to stop doing these award shows, man. Just do them online. Release everything on X or Instagram or, well, nobody uses Facebook or threads, but Instagram or an X. And you just release it all there. And you know, you can stream. If you want to have an award show and get together
Starting point is 00:23:18 and grab each other's butts for the night, go ahead and stream it on YouTube and post all the winners on social media and be done with it, right? But I mean, nobody is watching the Emmys, especially, I mean, holy cow. You're up against the Iowa caucuses, which maybe,
Starting point is 00:23:39 maybe lost you some numbers, but for sure, the NFL. I mean, that Monday night we had the postponed game in the afternoon leading into the Monday night game. The NFL just said, yeah, you know what? We're going to go ahead and take over that day. That's ours. I mean, that's what they did to the NBA at Christmas, too.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Roger Goodell said, yeah, you know, you guys always had NBA games on Christmas. And you can go ahead and continue to have them on Christmas, but we're going to go ahead and take the day and play some NFL games too. So, you know, don't worry about any numbers on Christmas. because the day now belongs to us. So the NFL has Sunday, Monday, Thursday,
Starting point is 00:24:25 Saturdays during the playoffs, and they'll take any other day that they want to. Whatever day Christmas falls on, we're taking that. And I'm really surprised that Prime did not fight for some of these playoff games, because Peacock had 23 million. Those numbers for Prime were like 11 or 12 million. They needed that playoff.
Starting point is 00:24:46 those playoff numbers. And these, they need to hop sing on it. Jeff, call me. Email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. And we'll get it worked out for you, I promise. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug,
Starting point is 00:25:19 but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Who died today? Who died? today. Well, we have the president of Hertha Berlin, Kay Bernstein.
Starting point is 00:25:37 He was a former ultra fan who surprisingly just took over the presidency in 2022. He has died at the age of 43. Rest in peace. The club statement just said that, yeah,
Starting point is 00:25:52 we've got terrible news that President Kay Bernstein had passed away at the age of 43. No cause of death listed. so it can't be that don't look at me like that it can't be that they would have said it
Starting point is 00:26:08 in the story if it was that I guess it could be an overdose I guess it could be a suicide but it most certainly couldn't be that otherwise they would have said something
Starting point is 00:26:24 K. Burnton dead at the age of 43 then we have Quentin Thomas dead at the age of 27 it was not that well they claim it was the flu so it wasn't that for sure
Starting point is 00:26:44 all right no so stop stop looking at me like that all right because that's that's the deal they said it was the flu I mean it's a horrible story he's a father he's got kids he started having trouble breathing and then he was he got
Starting point is 00:26:59 he got sick, he went to the hospital, began using a finger monitor to keep track of his blood oxygen levels. He noticed the oxygen levels were dropping, so he went to the hospital, and the hospital said, hey, you haven't received your flu shot. You know, did you flu shot?
Starting point is 00:27:17 There's some water, here some food, go home and get some sleep. How about you get out of here? All right, quit bugging me. And then it continued to get worse. So he goes back to the hospital, and that's when they took a little bit serious. and they put him on a coma.
Starting point is 00:27:31 I mean, they didn't put him on a coma. Although you could make that case. They put him on a ventilator, and then he eventually went into a coma. And then he passed away. Now, that's unbelievable. As the story goes, very sad. Rest in peace, Quentin Thomas, 27.
Starting point is 00:27:50 And, you know, my gosh, condolences to your entire family and all your children. But they say in this story, so far flu activity remains high this flu season alone 9,400 people have died
Starting point is 00:28:10 9,400 people have died from the flu there's been 150,000 hospitalizations and 14 million illnesses in the first week of January according to the CDC 13 flu-related deaths in children,
Starting point is 00:28:32 bringing the total to 40 pediatric deaths so far this season alone. Holy cow. So if you, you know, start to feel bad and you get a cough and it hurts to breathe and you have your finger monitor for oxygen there
Starting point is 00:28:56 keep track of your blood oxygen levels and it continues to be low. Don't let the hospital kick you out when you go there because I could be an issue. So rest in peace, Quentin Thomas, 27. I see where a federal judge blocked the jet blue airways
Starting point is 00:29:21 from acquiring Spirit Airlines ruling the 3.8 billion dollar deal would have driven up fares for price conscious travelers and hurt competition spirits uh they're you know everybody's stock prices uh were a little bit lower yesterday because this deal fell through at trial the u.s justice department had argued the merger would have limited flight options as well as the spirit effect in which industry-wide price reductions of 17% on average are triggered when Spirit reduces fares on specific routes. Huh, isn't that interesting?
Starting point is 00:30:03 A Jet Blue Spirit merger would have created the fifth largest airline in the U.S., giving the combined entity control of roughly 10% of the domestic market. The four largest carriers, United Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and Southwest Airlines control two-thirds of the U.S. market. now obviously jet blue and spirit disagree with the ruling so we're going to go ahead
Starting point is 00:30:33 and I'll quote them we're going to assess our next step so this might not be it this may not be it this will continue on then you know Kroger was going to buy
Starting point is 00:30:50 Albertsons the rival supermarket chain and they said it couple days ago that the, well, you know, it's going to take longer to close than expected. Yeah, we've got some regulators prying into the deal. So now they have Washington State, who is now suing Kroger from buying rival Grover for a $24.6 billion deal. So the state is suing to block the deal. Unbelievable. Then we have a synopsis, love them.
Starting point is 00:31:31 They're going to acquire graphics software maker, ANSys, A-N-S-Y-S, $35 billion deal. And a Burger King owner, Restaurant Brands International, Inc, is going to buy the chain's largest U.S. franchisee for a billion dollars. they're going to be Big Burger, Big Burger King, going to be the king of Burger King.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Just some of the business deals going on around the world. Oh, you know what tomorrow is too? For those of you listening live, tomorrow. Now, you can get ready for this and you can party or you can get your outfit ready. Make sure you get your outfit down from the attic, dust it off, get it ready to go. Tomorrow is National Winnie the Pooh Day.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Huh? I know. Pretty sweet. So nobody's going to look at you strange when you show up in your Winnie the Pooh outfit, okay? Because it's national Winnie the Pooh day.

When you see the ads for the drone car or the car with a flying drone, first, I don't think it's going to ever, I don't think it's going to happen. but it's a car with a flying drone.
Starting point is 00:33:40 It's like a helicopter in the car. The car itself looks, I don't know, similar to the Tesla truck. Only it would be a Tesla minivan because it's got the roof up where the helicopter fits in, you know, the little drone. And then, you know, it's all done their video of what it could be
Starting point is 00:34:03 shows the helicopter getting pushed out and then the wings flying open and, you know, you get in it. Now, it's the X-Ping Motors car, the Chinese company. It's an X-Peng's modular vehicle designed for both flying and ground use. It's targeting the Chinese market, but I'm sure they want to, you know, sell it here for about $140,000, you know, a million yuan in China. So not only are you going to have your aircraft carrier and your aircraft. They're looking for deliveries late 2025. Yeah, you're not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:34:50 So you have to, they already have, they already say deep in the story, well, we've got to develop some more essential components. Never mind, navigating airspace. What are we doing with that? Never mind consumers flying the helicopter that don't have any kind of flying at all in their history. I was going to get in and take off. Okay. Yeah, just fly around.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Let's fly around in your little helicopter. I mean, I'm okay with it. I would, it doesn't appear that there's fat guy seating, but it might. It might, you know, I might be able to get in it and hover, you know, a few feet off the ground and take off. probably just me though be like a single a single me helicopter not the picture shows two person yeah that's probably not happening
Starting point is 00:35:41 but uh the flying drone I'm sorry the car with the flying drone expected to start uh start sales in 2025 in China good luck good luck
Starting point is 00:35:56 I mean that's the same as the flying cars right I mean they love to talk about it that's just not going to going to happen. They've got a couple that they've developed that seem to be the possibility of it actually driving on the roadway and then converting, transforming into an airplane and taking off. But they're never going to allow that inside cities. We're already allowing all these drones to deliver stuff. And we've been over this. They're just never going to allow it. It's just not

Starting point is 00:37:05 is set to undergo a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate next week. Now, Buckingham Palace has announced this news today and said the condition is benign, uh-huh, adding
Starting point is 00:37:21 that having an enlarged prostate is common with thousands of men each year. Yeah, it is common with common men. but this is the king. He doesn't have what's the same problems as Cobbon folk. He's the king. So he's going to take a short period of recuperation
Starting point is 00:37:39 in order to recover and rest. A prostate enlargement is common issue for men over the age of 50. The procedure is to help shrink the gland as it has grown bigger. I bet you Camilla does not want to help shrink the gland. Do you, Camilla? That's what I thought.
Starting point is 00:37:59 just me. That's just me. So apparently the diagnosis, the king wants everyone to get checked. And that's why he's telling you, the common folk, that he too suffers from the same
