Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. According to a new survey, a thousand men revealed they spend around seven hours a year in the bathroom, seeking brief respite, escaping, nagging partners, or noisy kids. That doesn't seem like that much, seven hours a year. Anyway, Pebble Gray's research commissioned to explore bathroom habits, highlighted,

avoidance and uninterrupted phone time as motivations. A spokesman, and I guess a spokesman for Pebble Gray's research team, emphasize the bathroom's role as a sanctuary, providing temporary isolation for individuals to reflect or disconnect from the outside world. I would say that perhaps another reason that you want to use the bathroom as a sanctuary is to go in and listen to this show, chewing the, fat all to yourself. Now, I would also say that I would prefer if you shared it with family and friends and listen together and make it a family affair. But if you want to keep it to yourself

and have that brief respite in the bathroom away from nagging partners and noisy kids and you just want to listen to chewing the fat all to yourself, that's okay too. So whether you're with the family or all alone in your bathroom welcome welcome to chewing the fat miriam websters you know the dictionary people have told us what their word of the year is for twenty twenty three no it isn't riz which was also considered for word of the year you know riz uh uh internet slang for charisma other runner-ups were deep fake which i was surprising deep fake would be uh would definitely be a front runner for word of the year uh so they also had uh coronation in the running that seems like so long ago uh that people were searching for coronation you know because of

king charles being crowned the new king last year the word of the year the word of the year year was gaslighting, which is why I would think deep fake would be, you know, the frontrunner for this year. But no, no, no, no, no. The word of the year for 2023, authentic. Authentic is the word of the year for 2023. And they said it saw substantial increase in online searches for this year. The interest was driven by stories and conversations about AI, celebrity culture, identity, and social media. I guess the reason people search for the word is because it has a number of meetings,

including not false or imitation and also true to one's own personality, spirit, or character. So congratulations to the word authentic for being the 2023 Miriam Webster's Word of the Year. Speaking of Miriam Webster, have you seen the Miriam Webster,

well, it's their website, but it's a word search. So you search a word and it tells you, you know, the meaning, and it tells you, you know, what a verb or a noun or how it's used. It also gives you world history, right? First known use. It's called Time Traveler is the Miriam Webster website. And it's fascinating. You can just type in any word and it comes up with, you know, the word.

And when it was first used, really cool. Like my favorite word, and I've talked about it before. It's my favorite word. You can use it to be mad. You can use it to be happy. You can be tired. It's a great word.

It's one of the best words in the English language, I believe. And when you look it up in the Miriam Webster's Time Traveler site, it tells you the first known use was a verb, 14th century, in the meaning defined as in transitive sense one, and then as a noun in 1680, in the meaning defined at sense one. So it's a great word, whether it's a verb or a noun, and it is awesome.

And we could break up the entire, I could go down the list. In fact, I may have to do that. I shouldn't do that today because I'm making the, I'm making the word police go crazy because, you know, look, can I say the word on this podcast? Yes. Do we still beep it?

Yeah, because I know that many of you aren't listening in the bathroom alone. You're listening with family and friends. And I know it's a word we all use. I am not the word police. I hate having to beep it. But we also, this podcast is under the blaze banner. And so I know that the blaze is, you know, partial. to, you know, family, that kind of thing.

So, you know, when a word, and people, I don't know why people get so upset over the word, but they do. And so I may have to do my bit on why the word is so good very, very soon. But it is. You can go back and listen to the episode. It was a long time ago. I don't even remember the episode number. I'm sorry.

I apologize. There's been, you know, that was. of shows. But you can find it. And I will do it again. I'll do the bit again because it's my favorite word. And it should be a word that we, I think it's a word that we all use throughout our life. And those of you that say, well, I don't use it. Well, good for you. Good for you. But I do. And I like the word. It's just a really good word to be used for whatever mood you're in. It doesn't matter. That's what makes the word so great. You could be, I'm ready to do the bit again, but I won't. I'll keep it clean today. But trust me, the f-bitt is coming. And just so you know,

I can use other words as well. Like, let's say shucks. Let's look at the time traveler website for the word shucks. S-A-G-U-C-S. Shucks. Okay. Let's see. It was first used, first known use in 1847. According to Time Traveler, the first known use of Shucks was in 1847. So if you want to use, oh, shucks. Shucks! Shucks!

You can use, that's another word that you could use, but it's not as good as my word. Maybe you just email the show, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com, and I will play. You can email me what word you want to know about, and I'll just go down the list here in the Marion Webster, a dictionary, a time traveler site, and we can, you know, the listeners can have a say what their favorite words are and when they were first used.

What do you say? All right, chewing the fat as the blaze.com. And when I do that day, that will be the day that I do my bit. Okay? All right. See, I didn't say it. That's how nice I am. But there's so many ways to use it.

I just love the word. Like, for example, just for an example. Like this headline, UK has recorded the first human case of a new swine flu variant. Now, you could say what the heck when you see that headline, but originally, you know, your first thought would be, what the f***? And that's not mean or angry or dirty, it's just a word that you realize that you're, you know, wow, what is that? Like, for instance, like, okay, so originally it would be, it would be, what the f***? Or you would go, oh, what the f***?

Stuff like that, you could use it in so many ways. All right, I'll stop. I know the word police are just freaking out on me now. They're going to get mad at me, so I'll stop. Okay, so we have that. We have the UK recording the first human case of the new swine flu variant. And we have China insisting it. I, you know, you cannot, you cannot believe that China would lie.

So China is insisting that the soaring pneumonia cases, which apparently is crippling hospitals, is not caused by a new virus. Oh, okay. This mystery respiratory illness has caused panic across China and worldwide, with one hospital in Beijing, treating an astonishing 7,000 new patients daily. Ah, that's kind of weird.

Now, the pneumonia cases have also triggered a mass vaccine rollout and a bid do stop the spread. So we've got the respiratory illness in humans in China. I'm sure that it's just in China. It's not coming anywhere around the world. It's going to stay right in China. We've got the respiratory illness with dogs here in the United States. We have the swine flu in humans in the UK. I'm sure there's not connected at all.

I'm sure none of it is connected. So now, officials in China are saying this new virus is a cluster and it's, you know, it's not caused by a new virus. It's just respiratory infection, flu, rhinovirus. That's all. It's, it's just a bacteria that caused pneumonia. Oh, okay. All right. So the vaccination program is now prioritized for the most vulnerable, including elderly and children. And it's struggling to contain the, a sickness amid its first winter without a full lockdown from COVID-19. Huh, interesting how we're getting right back into the talking about lockdowns and illnesses

and sickness. Isn't that? It's weird. It's weird how that's happening, especially right after, uh, uh, G and the Chinese delegation were here in the United States. Huh. Yeah. Weird.

See, this is where you would use the word. Like you read that story and you think to yourself, well, weren't they all just here in the U.S. not long ago, and you'd go, well, sorry, just another example of how to use my favorite word. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Did you know that raw goat milk makes soap special, not just any soap, but Quinn Pittman's goat milk soap, okay? QP.

goat soap.com is where you need to go. That raw goat milk makes the soap special, creamy, soft with a rich sudsy lather. All the essential proteins and nutrients are preserved in the goat milk soap and delivered in a finished bar of real soap. Most people who buy soap from the store, I don't realize what is doing to their skin. The store-bought soap will get you clean and then it's also going to dry your skin out. And then, of course, surprise. you've got to buy other products from the same company to make your skin soft and luxurious. You don't need to do that with my man Quinn Pittman's goat milk soap. QP Goatsoap.com.

Soap doesn't act like those store-bought soaps when it's made the right way with goat milk. And that's what Quinn Pittman discovered when he first started learning about soap. And he's been making it the right way ever since. You want your skin to be clean, but you also want it to retain its moisture. And that's why you need a goat soap. And you'll want Quinn's goat soap.

citrus, orange blossom, honey oatmeal. the lavender, the love's bell, the lemon grass.

It's a law. I know. I know. So over the holiday, the Thanksgiving holiday, my oldest son and his wife and my wife's grandchildren were all in town. And he's been watching all of the Walking Dead shows. I don't know where he's been. I don't know why he stopped at some season.

So he's been updating me where he's at because he started on season one, episode one, which I watched, by the way, not long ago. And I thought that's why I got into the show. I was remembered. I mean, that first season was awesome, and that first show is so good. Anyway, the Walking Dead. And that's what got us all started into, you know, talking Walking Dead. That, you know, I've done this show now for, I don't know how many years.

And we've covered all the Walking Dead different shows, fear, and the world beyond and all of them. We have the new Rick and Michauds showing one coming up, and we talked about Daryl Dixon's new show. And we talked about Negan and Maggie's new show, Dead City. Anyway, talking Walking Dead, a separate show underneath the chewing the fat umbrella with myself, my son Maximus, and Jason Butchro. Now, my oldest son, Elvis, who has been watching the Walking Dead series. So he was in, you know, they were in town. He brought the wife and my wife's grandkids with him because he doesn't want to travel without them. And, you know, heaven forbid they, you know, don't show up for a few days.

Anyway. that was good to see him shut up and so we're watching he goes like Walking Dead going to watch Walking Dead so you know every night we got to watch a show from Walking Dead and he's on season 8 now and boy do I as I'm watching the shows with them because it's been a while since I've I mean season 8 hello

I mean that Walking Dead show has been over for a while now and so I haven't gone back and watch and as I'm watching these episodes with them all I can think of is I've got to go back and listen to the Talking Walking Dead shows to see if I talked about what I picked up watching the shows again with him because during the episodes I'm like,

okay, come on, what are we doing? And it's just I know it was so good. So just remember if you have an opportunity, you can always go back and listen to the Talking Walking Dead programs because I know that we covered it. I know we did because there's no way that I'm watching these episodes

seeing this stuff in the shows and thinking, I didn't. about that because I did. So thank you for subscribing to Chewing the Fat.

shows up to watch her boyfriend play football for the Kansas City Chiefs, but I don't have to hear about her now for a while? Nope, wrong. Taylor Swift, the Ares Tour, the concert film that was released to theaters, is now going to be released to streaming platforms on December 13th. And it will also include three songs that were not included in the theatrical release. So there's going to be more reason for you to stream the Swift's Aeros Tour concert on the show. streaming platforms. I'm sure she's going to set all kinds of records and it'll be all over. It'll be wonderful.

Taylor Swift will be on top of the world all again beginning December 13th. So man, I cannot wait for that. The extra songs that Swift announced on our social media are wildest dreams, the Archer, and Long Live. He didn't get

that in the concert film. So man, will it be great in their extended version of the film and it's just going to be wonderful. Yeah, it's going to be on streaming platforms. So it's going to be streaming

on, well, it doesn't say. I know that AMC was part of the film release, which grossed, I don't know, like $200,300 million globally, and it's going to be available to stream on December 13th. Which, you know,

it's our birthday. That's why we're going to celebrate my birthday. That's what we have to do now. I was taking a fun way to celebrate were you? Okay, thank you. But it doesn't say it's going to be available to rent on demand at US, Canada and additional countries to be announced starting soon. And it doesn't say where you're going to be able to go ahead and pay for that. But I'm sure it's going to set all kinds of records. It'll be great. No, really, it'll be great. And then we have Dolly Parton's rock star album, debuting number one on Billboard's top album sales chart.

That's the highest ever for Parton. And the chart's 32-year history. And then we have a new release, first new album in a decade from Jennifer Lopez, which is coming out, I think, in February. She's out promoting this now. This is me, J-Lo, with her new album. So we got those.

I mean, music is, I mean, Taylor, Dali, Jennifer. Did you see Dali? at the Thanksgiving Day half-time performance of the Dallas Cowboys. Oh, my gosh. She was here. The show originates. This show originates in the DFW, and she was here at AT&T Stadium performing.

Wow. She looked great for 77, but did she? No, she did. She looked great for 77, but did she? She did. Stop asking me that. She did. A lot of, uh,

A lot of people commenting that there was some plastic surgery involved. Not coming from me. That she is not, I mean, Dally has been well aware of her three cuts to clown face battle. And she's handled it pretty well, I feel like. I feel like she's fought that battle really well not to reach the clown face stage. But it's pretty close these days. Pretty close. With MX Platinum, $400,000.

and 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. Who died today? Who died today? Gene Knight, the

R&B and funk singer behind the 1971 hit Mr. Big Stuff has died. She was 80 years old. Rest in peace. She died with their family around her. She, I mean, this song, Mr. Big Stuff, was

monster hit. Sold over a million copies. She won a Grammy Award nomination in 72 for Best Female R&B vocal performance. I mean, Diana, Ross, Janice Joplin, Frida Payne were all in the category. Aretha Franklin. The, Aretha Franklin.

I'm just saying, she was a monster back then in 1972. And I went to look up the song, Mr. Big Stuff, because I had to, uh, had to heard that song in a while and then there's a version of it from Soul Train think about it

the big stuff yeah baby who do you think you are yeah who do you yeah fans of clothes yeah

yeah like about it yeah with the big stuff classic stuff from Gene Knight right there. So rest in peace, Gene Knight, dead at the age of 80. No, don't look at me like that.

The family said it was natural causes, okay? So it wasn't that. So you can stop looking at me like that. All right, Jean Knight, dead at 80 from natural causes, not that. Also, I don't think they died, but they've got a knife stuck in them. UPS and FedEx is now, they're below Oh, Amazon. Yeah, Amazon has put a knife in them. Their Amazon is going to deliver more packages in 2020 than anyone. That's according to a new report on the Wall Street Journal. It's on track to surpass UPS and FedEx in shipping volume this year. Incredible.

So it's on track to deliver 5.9 a billion packages in 2020. Wow. That would surpass the 5.3 billion packages delivered from UPS. and the $3.3 billion from FedEx in 2022. So neither of the company expects to break that in 2020. So, okay. I mean, if you were to ask me who delivered more packages yesterday, I would have said, well, Amazon.

I mean, Amazon has to deliver more. FedEx and UPS, they're still delivering. Don't get me wrong. They're on track to deliver three or four billion or five billion packages this year. globally and Amazon is just beating them with 5.9 billion packages and you know Amazon is delivering toothpaste to people's front doors of course they're delivering more packages it just seems kind of a no-brainer but I mean all three of those companies are delivering packages globally a massive amount and so you know I hear people complain about their packages or getting the

wrong thing or having to deal with it and it didn't come on the day I want I mean the logistics for these companies have to go through. I mean, I don't want to stick up for them, but I'm kind of sticking up for them. It is incredible. They do amazing work. Yeah, they do amazing work. Even the UPS guys who whine about it. It's too hot in my truck.

Even those guys do a good job. Amazon is in trouble all over the world. Well, they're one of the biggest companies now right around the world. I mean, hello. So, I mean, they've got EU antitrust regulators after them because of their, they bought Roomba. The I robot could harm competition. Oh, okay. All right. So we'll see if they could come. I mean, the EU is trying to, you know, come after Amazon. I see the FTC is after Bezos and Amazon for making Amazon worse for consumers. I don't know how he's doing that because I'm happy with getting my product as fast as possible from Amazon. Oh, no, he's directed company executives to add irrelevant. and inaccurate ads to search results in order to increase revenue. The FTC also alleges that Amazon's super secret pricing algorithm,

Project Nessie, unfairly netted the e-commerce giant $1 billion in excess profit. And Amazon spokesman told the Washington Post that the FTC grossly mischaracterizes Nessie. So beware, Beware, Project Nessie. We know about it. But it is a super secret pricing algorithm. Those bastards of Amazon, man, I'll tell you what. And that doesn't matter whether you're ordering from your laptop or your phone. I see now $5.3 billion of online sales, 54% were done through a mobile device.

And now they're talking about, well, that's expected to overtake desktop purchasing during this holiday season for the first time. Yeah, people order from their phone. It's a hand-held computer. Okay? According to Salesforce, 79% of all shopping traffic, browsing and buying, happened on mobile handsets. Yeah, I mean, we're seeing the ads in our algorithms. We're clicking on the ads and saying,

hey, I like that product. I'm able to purchase that product. And guess what? I'm able to say, deliver it to my home right there on my phone. Why do I need to go to my laptop or my desktop? This is my computer. But, you know, now it's for sure. our handheld devices are number one i would have again if you'd ask me yesterday i would have said

yeah that's of course of course people are uh ordering and buying things from their handheld device more than their desktop but i guess uh you know we're still hanging in there ordering stuff from our desktops okay i get it all right fine no problem we also have uh people spending a little bit more money than they should okay the old uh buy now pay later uh uh You need to, they're trying to stretch the old holiday budget. So be careful out there. All right. There's plenty of payment plans.

Don't spend more than you have. Jeff, this is America. What do you mean? Don't spend more than you have. That's what we do here. Oh, okay. What about other countries? Yeah, no, they don't do that.

Really? Yeah, no. They don't do that. But, well, I thought they just settled a, I mean, Amazon just settled a strike deal in, Spain, I think, right? Yeah.

They just, just the past weekend, they were going to have a big strike at a Spanish warehouse and they settled it over, you know, labor rights and, you know,

they've worked it out. So, and they got that done before the Cyber Monday shipments were to go out. So, don't, anyway,

my point is, don't, don't spend more than you have. That's good advice. Nobody's going to find. follow it, but it's good advice. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.

Well, almost, almost anything. So, no, you can't get a nice rink on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no, but chicken tenders, yes, because those are groceries, and we deliver those too, along with your

favorite restaurant food, alcohol, and other everyday essentials. Order Uber Eats now. For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details. A three-year tour. Why would you want to go on a three-year world tour on a cruise ship? I don't know. I know people, you know, have retired and just want to live on the cruise ship because it's cheaper to live on a cruise ship. I get it. But anyway, there's a company, Life at Sea Cruises, and signing up travelers and marketing this unusual the three-year round-the-world cruise, which will be fantastic.

It visits Great Wall of China, the Pyramids of Giza, Makupichu, and the Taj Mahal. And, man, that sounds like fun, doesn't it? Well, how about we don't have a ship, so you're not going and get over it. The ship that we were going to use that we were going to buy? Yeah, another company bought it because we just didn't have the money. and so we didn't want to spend the 40 or 50 million that was being asked for the ship. And our investors said, yeah, it's really not worth that. So, we're just going to go ahead and cancel that trip.

It was originally set to leave from Istanbul, then take an extended tour of Western Hemisphere before arriving in Asia in August of 2024. The South Pacific and Australia would fill much of 2025, followed by India. and then in 2026, the cruise was to have visited Africa than Europe before finishing in late 2026, three years after it began. It was charging between $38,513 to $98,226,000 per person, a per year for double occupancy. So if you're planning to take a full trip as a couple, the minimum would be about $230,000. Huh. Now they claim that's a pretty good price because if you were to do the Holland America

that charges $180 per person per night for its 128 day cruise, that would be almost $400,000 for a three-year voyage for a couple. So they initially delayed the trip to November 11th, and then they delayed it to November 30th. And then a couple days ago they said, yeah, we're just going to go ahead. and cancel this. Okay. Yeah, you passengers that have been paying money for your three-year cruise, we'll give you your money back. We're going to pay you back in monthly installments, though. You don't just get your full money back right away.

I can't do that. So apparently some passengers were a little upset. They were planning their next three years around the trip. So I don't know what you're going to do. It could be, you know, maybe go on another cruise or more. Maybe, I don't know, take another vacation for $230,000. But you won't be able to do the three-year cruise. The Life at Sea, three-year cruise.

Sorry, that is canceled. You know, this story that I'm going to talk about right now, why has this never happened to me? It never happens to me. I've been to Disney World. I've been to Disneyland. I've been to Knatsbury Farm. I've been to Gatorland, my favorite place of theme park in the world, Gatorland.

I've been to all of them, Universal, whatever you want to call them, a Cedar Point, all of them. Bush Gardens, Bush Gardens, Tempa. Been to them all, never happened to me. All right? So apparently, there's a guy in Disneyland in California, and he began stripping off his clothes and wandering around it's a small world. Why does that not happen when I'm there? I would love Not that I

I mean it could be a naked woman I'd prefer a naked woman But you know whatever It could be a naked man You know I'm gonna look I'm gonna look All right That's don't look at me like that

I'm gonna look So it never happened So apparently he started Stripping off his clothes And wandering around It's a small world There's videos of him Jumping in the water

Of a small world And he wandered around The Animatronic displays In his underwear And then he took the rest of his clothes out He figured, hey, whatever, his underwear is just too. It's too restricting. I need to be naked.

And he jumped into the water. And then they called the cops. And the cops hauled him out. And they had to shut down the ride for an hour and a half to inspect it. Make sure that it was okay. We don't want to release the name of the guy who was, you know, naked running around the small world. Don't look, honey.

Don't look. It's just a naked guy. Don't worry. No, that's not your dad. Anyway, so now this is going to come as a surprise to you. Okay. So he's been arrested. He was arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure. Yeah, I mean,

we have video of him and people actually witnessed him being naked in Disneyland at the ride. So it's not suspicion of it. I mean, it is a decent exposure. And here it comes in a big surprise. He's under the influence of a controlled substance.

Wait, what? Yeah, it's a surprise to me that someone running around Disneyland jumping in the water of It's a Small World would be under the influence of a controlled substance. But go figure, he was. I'm not sure what I would give, but I would give an amount of money

if someone were to be under the influence and start running around naked at Gatorland. That would be fun to watch. And if he didn't make the Who Died Today segment by doing that, he would definitely make the, yeah, he lost a leg or an arm at Gatorland running around under the influences. So, I mean, no, I don't want that to happen. So never mind. I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone.

So when you start seeing headlines about the Frontier Airlines flight from hell, where multiple women were screaming and singing and crawling over seats, causing claims of demonic possession. We have a San Diego airport story talking about their overrun after hundreds of illegals move in. We have talked about how homeless people are moving into the airports

before on this show. We've seen them and had witness happening and if I was a homeless person, I would hang out at the airport as well. Why not take the train into as close to inside as you can? You've got power, you've got restrooms. It's a good place to be. Then we have the video showing the passenger jumping out the emergency door in New Orleans,

then running away on the tarmac. So, you know, so things are going crazy at the airport. Well, there's a reason for that, actually. The TSA had forecasted that this holiday season would break records for air travel across the country. And it did this weekend. They said that 2.9 million people passed their security checkpoints. that day so it broke a record from June 30th and so 2.9 million people were screened at airports across the country that sets a record and so we have more

people flying which leads us to more people freaking out and man I tell you flying has become a I love to fly I love to go places love to do that but there are different ways to fly now you don't always have to fly on frontier And you don't always have to go into the airports to pass through the TSA. That's all I'm saying. Please look into it. There's better ways to travel than having to just go in and pass through the TSA. Okay?

Just so you know, there are better ways. And no, I'm not talking about owning your own plane. Of course, that is a better way. If you can own your own plane, good for you. I love you. But that's not what I'm talking about. but there are other ways to fly rather than going on the, you know, the other, the flights from hell. Okay, I'll leave you with some good advice today, some really good advice.

I saw this last night, and I thought that is good advice, and I need to share that with you, the listeners of chewing the fat. If you are out traveling around, no matter where you're at in this great country, perhaps even around the globe, and you don't even have to be traveling, let's say you live in the world. this area. Okay, this is just good advice to a rule of thumb. Good advice. All right, if you are show up in a neighborhood or live in this neighborhood and there is a closed church's chicken. I know you know what a church's chicken building looks like. If the church's chicken is closed, you are someplace you don't need to be. So I would exit that area as fast as possible. It's good advice. You're welcome. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
