Starting point is 00:00:00 When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss?
Starting point is 00:00:19 Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous for less. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. A solar storm is a common. In fact, one has already slammed into the earth, the solar flare,
Starting point is 00:00:44 slammed into the Pacific Ocean yesterday. We're just finding this out now. If you're listening live, today is the 23rd of January 2024. They believe that we are going to get hit with another one. today. Oh, okay, no problems. Does that mean that I won't be able to figure out who won my mega millions? Because there's a drawing tonight for 262 million. And I'd like to be able to, you know, take a shot at that. But we don't know, okay. We just know that the solar storm, the geomagnetic storm watch.
Starting point is 00:01:31 They are monitoring two large solar flares that ejected from the sun. Both left on Sunday. The first hitting over the Pacific on Monday. The second one is projected to make contact on Tuesday. Doesn't say
Starting point is 00:01:47 where. Despite the cosmic proportions of the event, Noah said citizens shouldn't be concerned. Some minor inconveniences could occur. such as, well, a minor power grid interruption or, you know, an impact on radios, aviation communication, and satellite operations. That's it.
Starting point is 00:02:10 The possibility of the storm disrupting the power grid was like 60%. Oh, okay. So if, you know, by the time you're listening to this, we may have already been hit. We just, we don't know. On the brighter side, I guess, they're talking about. it's going to create some great oras that you'll be able to see in Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.
Starting point is 00:02:40 That seems like a large area. So we should not worry about the coronal mass ejections. Okay. I know they're medium-sized solar storms, and we're not supposed to worry about it, but I hope that we're prepared to deal with the minor interruptions on radios, aviation communication, and satellite operations. I sure hope that we're able to deal with it.
Starting point is 00:03:13 And I guess if you're listening to this right now, we have dealt with it. But it doesn't give a time, so it still could happen by the time this podcast, this show, uh, releases for those of you that, you know, don't listen live. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Could you give up your smartphone for a month? Well, this company, Siggy, is saying, hey, give it a shot. It's a digital detox program. Now, they're calling it a new kind of dry January.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Instead of abstaining from alcohol for a month, they're challenging you to ditch your smartphone. However, looking at the rules, it's not January that you're going to go dry. in. You can enter the contest until the 31st of January, 2024, at 1159 p.m. Eastern. You must be 18 years or older. Other restrictions apply. 10 winners will be contacted via email. For official rules, I can visit this link and it will tell me all the rules and it's a digital detox contest, your eligibility, your application of rules. The contest period, uh, begin. begins on January 17th. See, this is what I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Okay, so the contest period is the 17th through the 31st, and that's the contest period for you being chosen. Okay. But it doesn't say when I have to go and be without my smartphone. I guess it's after they contact you. They will have a selection of contest winners on or about February 15th of 2024, 10 potential winners will be selected from all eligible entries by a panel of five judges as chosen by SIGIs and under the supervision of SIGIs using the weighted judging criteria outlined. All right.
Starting point is 00:05:14 So you have to enter. And if you get chosen, then you're good to go. And you could win $10,000. So $10,000 for a month without your smartphone. You do get a lockbox for your smartphone. You get a good. Go ahead and give you a. smartphone to use to make phone calls.
Starting point is 00:05:33 You get a prepaid one, a month talk and text mobile device plan with a SIM card, and three-month supply of Siggy's Yogurt equal to 65.3-ounce single-served cups. So the total winnings is, well, for all 10, it's $11,590,000. But for, you know, a single winner, it's what, 10,000, 11, 110,000. $110,200, $200, something like that. Pretty close. So good, good luck. Good luck.
Starting point is 00:06:11 I could do it. I believe I could do it. Man, it would be difficult, though, because I use my phone for a lot of stuff. And that's everybody's excuse, right? You use it for, oh, I use it for everything. I do use it for work. And it would be very difficult for me to do without my smartphone.
Starting point is 00:06:29 but for 30 days, $10,000, that may be worth it. That very well may be worth it, because I think I could do it. I think I could do it for 30 days. So, anyway, you could check it out and see if you could enter. You know, you got to write an essay, and they pick the best essay, and with your essay, it's going to be judged on the following criteria. How clear is the explanation contained in the essay of how the participant will use the time during the digital detox to live a simpler life.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Understanding that less sets you free. Also means less time spent on smartphones could lead to a more rewarding and free life. Okay. So that's 70% of your essay. 20% of the essay is going to be judged on creativity and originality. And 10% is going to be judged on the participant's authentic expression in the essay of commitment to the challenge of living for a month.
Starting point is 00:07:27 without a smartphone. So good luck. And if you win, then they'll tell you, hey, here's your stuff. And you have to go a month from right now. That's Siggy's Digital Detox program. Good luck. Now, I know it's not as, you know, they're going to pick 10 people, so you still have an opportunity. I know I saw where Applebee's. We talked about the Applebee's date night card. And you get the $200 of the subscription pass for the weekly date night. and the headlines all say it's sold out in minutes. I know, I don't know that I talked about it on the air when I talked about the Applebee's date night, but I mean, all these things that you have to sign up for starting at a certain time,
Starting point is 00:08:10 man, it is a luck of the draw to get there. I figured they would be all sold out and they were, and I got hollered at. I got an email chewing the fat at the blaze.com from John, who said, on advice of my CTF counsel, I visited the Applebee's site for the $200 date-night card, bookmarked the page, refreshed it repeatedly, starting Monday at 1157 Eastern. At 12, I got services on available message.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Page would not load. At 1202, card was sold out. So all of, he blames the CTF listeners, and he says no hard feelings, but I kind of feel like there is. John, I kind of feel like you were mad at me. Look, I just told you about the event. That's, you know, what you guys do with it.
Starting point is 00:08:54 I mean, that's on you. So many of you. you logged on and bookmarked the page that you just couldn't get to it. And they claim that it sold out in minutes. Yeah. Less of it. Minutes, like two minutes.
Starting point is 00:09:08 So I'm sorry. You know, I'm not, I'm not apologizing for Applebee's. Applebee's most definitely, there wouldn't be any kind of freaky thing going on with Applebee's, right? They wouldn't have just lied. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:09:24 It sold out, right? Of course it did. Of course it did. With Amex Platinum, $400 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. Real soap, old school, hand-pored, made from scratch.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Old school means the soap, cleans while moisturizing in a way most commercial bars simply don't. And that is by design,
Starting point is 00:10:14 by the way. Most people who buy soap from the store don't even realize what is doing to their skin. Store bought soap will get you clean, but while it's doing it,
Starting point is 00:10:22 it's also drying out your skin. And then, of course, you have to keep buying products like lotions and skin softeners made by, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:10:30 the same company that you bought the stuff that's drying out your skin. That's just, Amazing. Soap doesn't do that when it's made the right way with goat's milk. That's what Quinn Pittman discovered when he first started learning about soap and he's been making it the right way ever since.
Starting point is 00:10:47 If you want your skin to be clean, but also to retain its moisture, you need goat soap. And you'll want Quinn's goat soap. Quinn and his family, very proud of their product and they want you to know about it. And good for Quinn. I mean, he is, he's done amazing things. He is actually titled the Goat King by this very broadcast. He's done something most kids his age would or maybe not even couldn't do, started a business. And I've been using the soap. My wife's grandkids have been using the soap. And they love it.

Starting point is 00:12:10 Those, something horrible happened in Los Angeles. Now, I know what you're thinking. It's Los Angeles, so who cares? But it's illegal, and it needs to stop. There were reports of a non-stop fireworks show. I mean, there were reports of non-stop fireworks. It did stop, actually. It's not still ongoing, so it's not a,
Starting point is 00:12:31 a nonstop show. Anyway, around 10.45 p.m. dozens of social media users posting videos questioning the incident. I watched one video that was 45 seconds long. It was awesome. All these fireworks going off. And get this.
Starting point is 00:12:46 People in the area. The display woke up hundreds of people. Oh, no. Doors and windows were shaking. Oh, no. As these powerful explosives continued. Now, Central Division is investigating the massive illegal fireworks show.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Yeah, okay. Now they posted on X, we ask our stakeholders in the area to please contact us with surveillance video. Hey, watch the videos online. People were posting it. Okay, that's all you need to do.
Starting point is 00:13:18 You have stakeholders in downtown L.A. How's that working out for you? Because the non-stop fireworks show, I don't know, lasted three to five minutes. So it really wasn't a non-stop fireworks show. So far, though, police has said that no one has come forward to claim responsibility. Yeah, that was us.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Ah, yeah, we did that. Well, they're hopeful that surveillance camera footage from the surrounding area will point them in the necessary direction. I mean, I'm guessing that if you watch the fireworks videos online, if you know the area, you'd say, okay, those came from there, those came from there. but I'm not a police officer so I don't know how investigations work they do say this was coordinated and planned
Starting point is 00:14:07 oh really you think and there have been no reports of injuries stemming from the incident so let's get out there and investigate we got nothing else to worry about in Los Angeles but groups shooting off fireworks on a Sunday night that weren't allocated by the government
Starting point is 00:14:26 man do I hate those people by stakeholders could you help no we don't have any information no one's come forward oh no oh no it was a non-stop firework event so be careful out there
Starting point is 00:14:41 this is silly all right let's go to the break room I need something cold to drink desperately so the great Gerard de Pardo they have the the sexual assault
Starting point is 00:15:04 complaint filed against the French actor has now been discarded. Yeah, it's dismissed. Do the Statue of Limitations. Yes, sorry, we can't get to that. That's too long. Now, there are other complaints against
Starting point is 00:15:18 the old Gerard Depardotot. There were 13 other women who accused him of sexual misconduct and an investigation story that ran in April of last year. Some Spanish journalist said she filed an official complaint against the actor in Spain after being allegedly assaulted during an interview in Paris in 1995, which is way beyond the 20-year limitation in France.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Anyway, Prosecutor's office added that besides that, there are no other women to this day whose testimonies as part of the investigation has given new elements to the judge. And he's not been convicted of any crime or any connection to any allegations that denies any wrongdoing. Yeah, hello. So there's been quite a bit of, you know, quite a bit of bad talk about the great Gerard Depardotel. I know, I know. I wouldn't have figured that he would have been that loved.
Starting point is 00:16:14 But he is. He's the one. In the documentary, it shows raw footage of the actor making sexually inappropriate and obscene jokes. You bastard! How dare you make inappropriate and obscene jokes, including one. One about a child riding a pony. I don't know that joke. I have to find out what that joke is.
Starting point is 00:16:35 I'm going to find, maybe take a look at the documentary. The footage caused an uproar. And so the culture minister at the time said that, ooh, D. Pardot's Legion of Honor would be scrapped. And Emmanuel Macron, the president said, whoa, whoa, hold on there, Abdul. And that's his name, Abdul Malik. you spoke too quickly and I am an admirer of DiPardotot and he's keeping
Starting point is 00:17:04 his he's keeping the Legion of honor okay that's Gerard DiPardo he's our guy not long after that Abdul was replaced with a new culture minister I'm sure it was just a coincidence
Starting point is 00:17:20 don't be mad badmoutin the great Gerard de Pardot in France you hear me so we had We had the Razzies that were the nominations come out last night. And then today we have the Oscars coming out. So the Razzies gave expendables four with seven nominations.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Chris Evans and Jennifer Lopez, I guess, could suffer the ignobility of being awarded worst actor and actress for the Razzies, the worst shows. A couple of the... And we can go down the list later of the 44th Razzie nominations. Sylvester Stallone has the most razzies of any actor with 10. I bet you that hurts. Aerosmiths, I don't want to miss a thing from Armageddon, the documentary, was nominated with both a Razzie for the worst original song and an Oscar for Best Original Song.
Starting point is 00:18:19 And Alan Mencken, this is a fun fact I did not know. And I love this fun fact. So Alan Mencken, the composer of some of your favorite Disney songs, and he's Mr. Egot. He is the only person, the only person who has a regat. So he's got an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, a Tony, and a Razzie. That is impressive. That's impressive. So then we have the Oscars.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Oppenheimer had 13 Oscar nominations this morning. The fantasy film Poor Things, starring Emma Stone, had 11 nominations, and the Martin Scorsese drama, Killers of the Flower Moon, got 10 nominations. Now, I really wanted, I do want to see that. But that's with, what's his face and what's his face? And I just, it's going to be difficult for me to sit through it. well not to sit through it's going to be difficult for me to actually just sit down and watch it and then once i'm in it you know once you're in it you're in it that's a that's a quote you can't quote
Starting point is 00:19:34 me on that uh once you're in it you're in it so decaprio uh is one of the big stars who and uh robert duchnero and duchnero was nominated too for like best helper actor i think the oscars call it best actor in a supporting role American fiction, Sterling K. Brown, Dush Nero, Killers of the Flower Moon, Robert Downey Jr. Oppenheimer, Ryan Gosselin, Barbie, Mark Ruffalo, poor things.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Oh, please, don't give it to Mark Ruffalo. Please, please, you know, for all that is good and holy, do not let Mark Ruffalo or Dush Niro win. I know Barbie got eight nominations, but please, whatever you do, do not give Mark Ruffalo an Oscar. Ugh, it's bad enough. he was nominated.
Starting point is 00:20:25 So the best picture nominations, American fiction, anatomy of a fall, Barbie, the holdovers, killers of the flower moon, maestro, Oppenheimer. Gotta go to Oppenheimer.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Killers of the Flower Moon. I mean, if we give it to that, then they're going to give it to Dush and Hero. Maybe they give it to the best picture and then they don't give it to anyone else. Although Lily Gladstone won the, I think the Golden Globe,
Starting point is 00:20:54 And so she will probably get the Oscar for best actress in a leading role. Wonder why that would be. Oh, because she did a great job. That's why it had nothing to do with that she's indigenous people. No, it had nothing to do with that. Stop. I don't even think that it was because of the great job that she did. Wow, are you, you are not right, thinking like that.
Starting point is 00:21:20 And so, you know, we can go down, the best cinematographer, for your best international film. We'll get to all of those at some point. But congratulations to all the Oscar nominees. Of course, you know, no one, do we care? I mean, I do. I kind of do. But it's going to take place on March 10th. On ABC, Jimmy Kimmel will be hosting it.
Starting point is 00:21:40 So we'll see if they can revive some of the numbers. And they made it earlier on earlier start time. Started at 7 p.m. Eastern, which they are hoping to grab, you know, more of the East Coast. audience and saying, hey, West Coast, we're going to start a little bit earlier. Get over it. So we'll see what happens to the 96th edition of the Oscars. Network television has got to start shaking in their boots just a little bit.
Starting point is 00:22:10 You know, we talked about the ratings of the NFL over the past year on the streaming platforms. And it was a matter of time. I mean, the other streaming platforms are all looking to get into live sports. well, specifically the NFL, but the Netflix has now struck a deal with WWE to move Monday Night Raw on the Netflix beginning in 2025.
Starting point is 00:22:38 $500 million a year. They, that's a pretty good deal. 500 million a year. 10 years. Now, I guess Netflix has the option to opt out after the initial five years and to extend it to an additional 10 years. But, man, that is a lot of money. In comparison, all right, WWE's current five-year deal for Raw with NBC Universal is worth about $250 to $260 million a year. Almost double.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Almost double is what they're getting now. that is incredible everybody's just excited about the deal now the deal with USA Network ends in October of this year and the deal with Netflix doesn't begin until January I think so in October, November, December of this year
Starting point is 00:23:42 I guess they're looking to put it somewhere else or you know maybe they just put it up on YouTube you know some other YouTube channel. If you want WWE, you can air it on the Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher YouTube channel. I'm happy. I'm happy to air it live
Starting point is 00:24:00 on the Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher YouTube channel. You know, I don't even charge you. I'll just do it for nothing. That's because I'm a nice guy. Well, all right, we'll work out some kind of deal. Oh, you thought I was going to pay you? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:24:17 To use my YouTube page, Chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher? Yeah, that's going to cost you. Maybe I'll just air it on my ex at Jeffrey JFR. Maybe I'll just do that. You know, and you can pay me for that. No, I'm not paying you. Well, you can pay me for that, all right? Maybe I'll just air it on my Instagram live or my Facebook page, Jeff Fisher Radio. Or, you know, Instagram and Facebook, both Jeff Fisher Radio, I could just air it there and just run it live. You can pay me for that as well. I'm not going to pay you. No, I know you guys are doing great over there at WWE Raw, but Monday Night Raw. But, you know, maybe you just air it on my channels.
Starting point is 00:24:54 That'd be great, okay? I see where, I got to figure out something. I see where Mr. Beast, Jimmy Donaldson, better, you know, Mr. Beast, Mr. Beast, he posted his full-length video on X, okay? It earned him in this story, too, it says, formerly known as Twitter, earned him $263,655. just for his ex post, I've got to, I got to get Twitter blue. I'm verified on Twitter blue. I've got to get X blue.
Starting point is 00:25:27 I'm verified on X, but I don't have the blue account, so I don't think I can share live stuff. I've got to figure out how that works. Because if Mr. Beast is getting hundreds of thousands of dollars, I mean, I could probably get, you know, two or three bucks. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes What?

Well, let's start with Norman Jusen at 97. He's the Canadian director behind films, including The Heat of the Night, Fiddler on the Roof, Moonstruck, some, you know, some tremendous movies. Norman was 97 years old and everybody loved him. and he was a frequent Oscar nominee, Toronto Native, was known for stirring up controversy with his introspective films, and no cause of death was immediately available.
Starting point is 00:27:09 I know, I know, I know what you're thinking, but it doesn't say that. So rest in peace, Norman Jewison at the age of 97. Then we have Dexter Scott King, younger son, of Martin Luther King, Jr. dead at the age of 62. He is the son of, as I said, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. King, he died Monday battling prostate cancer. Very sad. He was at his home in Malibu, California, and he died peacefully in his sleep. Dexter Scott King, dead at the age of 62.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Then we have three men, 38-year-old Ricky Johnson, 36-year-old Clinton McGinney, and the 37-year-old David Harrington, dead. Frozen to death. Now, they went to their friend's house to watch the last Kansas City Chiefs game in Missouri. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:16 So then I guess they went home, and they walked out the back door, but they never even made it to their cars or their home. they froze to death in the backyard. Wow. Okay. So a lawyer for the man whose three friends were found frozen to death behind his home after they had watched the Chiefs game together said,
Starting point is 00:28:38 he doesn't know anything. And we don't know what's going on. My client had absolutely nothing to do with the deaths. We don't know about it. He does not know the timing or the manner of the death, nor does he know how or when they exited. his house, wait. He had no knowledge that they remained in his backyard or that they needed medical attention.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Had he known, he certainly would have called for help. The last time he saw them was when they left his house and he went to bed. Wait. Okay, so the last time he saw them, it was when they left the house and he went to bed, but he does not know how or when they exited his house. Okay, but he saw them when they left the house. Anyway, police went to Willis's home after. after a woman engaged to Magini, the 36-year-old,
Starting point is 00:29:28 couldn't get a hold of him. And she, no one answered the door. So she went to the residence and she reportedly broke into the home's basement when no one answered and called police after she found a body on the back port. The homeowner said, I didn't hear the woman knocking at the door because I was sleeping. I sleep with earbuds on and a fan on. He's got earbuds on. I mean, he had to have been listening to chewing the fat.
Starting point is 00:29:59 And he was cooperative with police when they arrived. Police said there's no obvious signs of foul play in the deaths. They're waiting for the results of an autopsy on the three men. The homeowner has not been charged. He's unaware how the friends died. And like the rest of us, he's anxiously awaiting for the results of the autopsy and the toxicology report. it. How does that? That is amazing. I mean, it must be a pretty big home.
Starting point is 00:30:28 If he doesn't know how they left, he said goodbye to him, and then he went to bed, but he doesn't know when they left the residents or how they left the resident. Okay, whatever, whatever. And then they just, they froze to death in his backyard. I mean, it was cold, right? I mean, players for, I mean, there's some cold times in Missouri the last few weeks. It's been cold everywhere. We're in a polar vortex, by the way, but holy cow. Now, if it was just an accident, we'll just assume that it was a horrible accident.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Rest in peace, Ricky Johnson, Clayton McGinnay and David Harrington. Please. Frozen to death, what a horrible way to go. In your friend's backyard. And maybe he put the headphones on, and maybe he put the fan on, and one guy's banging on the back door.
Starting point is 00:31:21 And he didn't hear it. of, oh my gosh. But I don't know how that happens. I don't know how that happens. The whole thing is really sad. It will be interesting to see the toxicology reports, though. Won't it?
Starting point is 00:31:37 Okay, since we're in the Who Died Today segment, this is a brush with who died today. I was informed that yesterday in our Who Died Today segment, I obviously said goodbye to Sean Barber, who died at the age of 29. Apparently, he had fallen ill and had been experiencing poor health for some time. He then, you know, died from medical complications.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Okay. Well, apparently yesterday I said she. I was calling Sean a she. So I don't know if I, I guess I should apologize. I don't know that I want to because, you know, I don't know what Sean identified as. And you know what? if you can identify as a male or female, why can't I identify you how I want? So if I could ask, Sean, what he or she identifies as or was, did? I would, but I can't because he's dead or she's dead. So rest in peace,
Starting point is 00:32:41 Sean Barber, and no matter what you identified as, rest in peace. And it looks like the highway signs that we talked about last week, the ban on humor and pop culture references on the changeable message signs, I guess those aren't completely banned. Apparently, the Federal Highway Administration, you know, wants you to know that we're not totally humorless. Uh-huh. because we did notice that, you know, what happened, what's the difference between a thriving country
Starting point is 00:33:18 and a communist country is smiles and laughter and humor? So the agency recently sparked all kinds of disappointment. Yeah, because they said in their new guidelines that we couldn't have the funny signs on the electronic signs on the highway. We can't just have a sign saying, hey, I'm just a sign asking a driver to use turn signals. Yeah, we can't use jokes like that. However, the Federal Highway Administration clarified that it didn't intend an outright prohibition
Starting point is 00:33:54 on being funny and was only seeking to rein in signs that may confuse or distract. Oh, but really what they do. did was ban humorless signs. I don't care what you intended to do. That's not what was done. So now we're going to have signs that are humor and somebody's going to complain saying, oh, that's too funny. We've got to call the Federal Highway Administration. So the humor is gone, no matter what now. Very sad. Very sad. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here. Introduce.

I have always wanted a hyperbaric chamber. Always. I knew it was good. People who want to heal and feel better
Starting point is 00:35:21 have the hyperbaric chambers. And now we find out that breathing the pure oxygen for at least 90 minutes a day can be as effective as Viagra for treating impotence. I mean, that's just a bonus, right? Men who had treatment had an average of 50% improvement
Starting point is 00:35:41 in their erectile dysfunction. Or I'm sorry, their erroneous. rectal function. And the efforts from one month of treatment lasted up to 18 months. So, come on. Nine out of ten men with ED have at least one underlying physical cause, such as heart disease, diabetes, or taking certain medications, including high blood pressure and depression, which can cause blood vessels applying to the man part to narrow.
Starting point is 00:36:15 resulting in insufficient blood for an hello man part. So it's usually treated with the Viagra, and that's not good and that's not suitable for all men. However, now with this new study by urologists at Izmir Bozayaka Training and Research Hospital, and I love Izmir Bozayaka Training and Research Hospital in Turkey, They published in the Journal of International Urology and Nephrology. And, man, there is nothing.
Starting point is 00:36:52 I like more than flipping through the old journal of International Urology and Nephrology. This study involved 100 men. One group were treated with oxygen. Another group were given tattophil. Right, tattelophil daily for a month. And a third group had no treatment. Men in the oxygen group were seated in hyperbaric chambers similar to how they used. I mean, you know what a hyperbaric chamber is.
Starting point is 00:37:19 And there's large ones that some hospitals use for healing, for wound care, and you can have their single and smaller hyperbaric chambers as well. I always wanted a hyperbaric chamber. I said that earlier. I think it was always a really good thing for humans to have the oxygen. and now it's proving true. Now it's proving true. According to this, however,
Starting point is 00:37:47 it's not according to, and I'm sure this has to do with the Viagra people, with the Tadalafil. It's not clear how hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps ED. One theory is that extra oxygen and carries new blood vessels to grow, supplying the man part with more blood. I am a new man part.
Starting point is 00:38:11 That is awesome. So if you have an opportunity to hop in the old hyperbaric chamber, hop in. Because it's not a bad thing. Oh, you're breathing oxygen? Yes, I'm breathing oxygen. Okay. I'm in the hyperbaric chamber. Now, because normal air is 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen, and small amounts of other gases.
Starting point is 00:38:37 So when you get into that oxygen group and you're getting 100% oxygen, that cannot be bad for you. Can it? And even if there is some side effects, I'm willing to take the risk. So if a company that makes hyperbaric chambers would like to have a Chewing the Fat sponsorship for their hyperbaric chambers,
Starting point is 00:38:57 I'm all in. Email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. All right, so let's do the joke of the day and get on out of here, shall we? So I'm B, as the joke of the day, I actually lo-eled. at this, okay? So I'm in a bar, and two very large women with accents are sitting across with me.
Starting point is 00:39:20 I say, cool accents. Are you two ladies from Scotland? One of them yells, it's whales, you idiot. I said, okay, are you two whales from Scotland? I don't remember much after that. What I'm saying is this. See, they said they were from Wales, and he believed that they were, ah, you got it.
Starting point is 00:39:53 It's Wales, you idiot. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
