She posted on her Social media accounts And I saw it on Instagram That she has a big problem She's canceling dates concert dates The next year In 2023

And maybe Maybe she'll reschedule them in 24. But we shall see because she claims that she's been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome. Now, I know. I know what you're thinking. Wait, what? I didn't know this existed either. I'm sorry. I just didn't know it existed. Now, she posted a couple of posts on her Instagram account, one in English and one in French. They're both about five minutes long. Actually, the English one is like 515 and the French version is like 455. I don't know if she took longer pauses in the English version or not.

We could listen to it, although five minutes of Celine telling me about her stiff person disease is quite a lot. Hello, everyone. Hello, Celine. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reach out to you. I know, I've been pissed. I've been really pissed. I miss you all so much. I know, I miss you too, baby.

And I can't wait to be on stage talking to you in person. We can't wait either. We're really looking forward to it. I was looking forward to going to your show. As you know, I've always been an open book. Have you, though? Have you? And I wasn't ready to say anything before.

Okay, I know you're upset. But. But I'm ready. Okay, good. These are the long pauses that take longer in the English version. Here we go. Oh, boy. I've been dealing with problems with my health for a long time. I know. We can tell. We've seen you on the streets. And it's been really difficult for me to face these challenges and to talk about everything that I've been going through.

Well, but you're going to share with us now, though, aren't you? Celine? Because we want to know. Oh, okay. She's going to stop holding. We have to keep watching. My Instagram account. Now you have to go to the... the actual reel of her recording. Recently, uh-huh. I've been diagnosed with a very rare

neurological disorder called the stiff person syndrome. Wait, what? Which affects something like one in a million people. I've never heard of it before. Incredible. While we're still learning about this rare condition,

we now know this is what's been causing all of the spasms that I've been having. Wow. Okay. So she goes on, and it's another three and a half, four minutes or so, and that's whatever. And I feel sorry for her. But I, no, really, I do.

Stop looking at me like that. I do. Okay? I just have never heard of stiff person syndrome before. Now, in the article, it talks about SPS. And it's a rare autoimmune movement disorder that affects the central nervous system, the brain, and the spinal cord. SPS, stiff person syndrome, is characterized by fluctuating muscle rigidity in the trunk and

limbs and the heightened sensitivities to stimuli such as noise, touch, and emotional distress, which can set off muscle spasms. And it's, we also know that it's very rare, as she said, it's only about one in every million people have been diagnosed with this syndrome. Twice as many women have stiff person syndrome as men. Symptoms can occur at any age, but usually develop between the ages of 30 and 60. Now, Celine is 54 years old, and she's been dealing with this for, you know, a long time. As she said, we are just starting to figure out what has been causing all her problems. So if you have tickets to the Celine Dion shows in Europe in

2003 go ahead and get your money back or you know go ahead she said that they're going to take place in 2024 now I find that hard to believe I feel like she's just kind of like the walking well she's not the walking dead but you know maybe like the walking Rigamortus. Something like that. So anyway, I'm sorry that she's suffering from this.

And if you or someone you know is suffering from stiff person syndrome, I mean, get help. That's all I can tell you. Get help. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. I know. I don't know about you,

but I, uh, I, believe that you know if you have a job you should go to that job um i know that i have argued about going to work when i'm sick i don't call in sick i and i've been in fights for years over whether you should go to work when you're sick or not i am leaning toward hey if you're really sick don't go to work i get it because you're spreading the germs everywhere i got it okay but it's just something that was instilled in me that when you have a job you want to go to work you should go to work. Apparently, that's not the issue anymore. I know I've instilled that thought in my children.

I mean, I've seen it in action. And that's just part of the deal. Well, a manager at an olive garden in Kansas has had problems with her employees calling on sick. And she wrote a memo to her employees that read, attention to all team members. Our call-offs are occurring at a staggering rate. From now on, if you call off, you might as well go out and look for another job. We are no longer tolerating any excuse for calling off. If you're sick, you need to come and prove it to us. If your dog died, you need to bring him and prove it to us. If it's a family emergency and you can't stay too bad, go work somewhere else.

If you only, it's not, this is not funny. If you only want morning shifts, too bad, go work at a bank. If anyone from here on out calls out more than once in the next 30 days, you will not have a job. Do you know, in my 11.5 years at Darden, how many days I called off? Zero. I came in sick. I got in a wreck literally on my way to. work one time airbags went off and my car was totaled but you know what i made it to work on time there are no

more excuses us collectively as a management team have had enough if you don't want to work here don't it's as simple as that if you're here and want to work then work no more complaining about not being cut or not being able to leave early you're in the restaurant business do you think i want to be here until midnight on Friday and Saturday? No. I'd rather much... No, I'd much rather be at home with my husband and dog, going to the movies or seeing family, but I don't. I'm dedicated to being here, as you should too. No more excuses or complaints. I hope you choose to continue to work here, and I think we, management and parentheses, make it as easy as we can on y'all. Thank you for your time, and thank you to those

who come in every day on time and work hard. I wish there were more like you. Well, good for you. Now, the parent company of Olive Garden responded by firing the manager and leaving this day, we strive to provide a caring and respectful work environment for our team members. The message is not aligned with our company values. And we can confirm we have parted ways with this manager. I'm torn. I'm really torn. She's just sick of people calling in sick. It's a problem.

There's short-staffed anyway at restaurants all over the country and world, for that matter, but all over the United States. And she's had enough. I'm really torn. I'm really torn on this one. Because I guess you just don't put it into a memo to employees. You don't type that into the old group chat. But, uh, you know, know you do got a lot of let them know uh you know we expect you to work and uh that's an issue when you keep calling in sick so i guess the message is don't put it in the group chat okay all right i love i love that if your dog dies i want to have you bring in your dead dog to prove it that is awesome so we did kind of get some uh

Good news. Brittany Griner, the WNBA star that was in prison in Russia. She was off in the penal colony. She's free. The Biden White House was able to reach a deal with the Kremlin on a prisoner swap. Believe that they have passed each other on the tarmac. Yes, congratulations. The Merchant of Death arms dealer Viktor Bout.

has been traded for Brittany Griner, the WNBA star, back to Russia. Now, isn't it interesting that we're hearing reports now that the deal was brokered by a Saudi Crown Prince? Just right after we dropped the charges about the Khashoggi lawsuit, huh? It happened just after that. So anyway, it was all President Biden. He did it all.

He did everything. And congratulations to, our administration for getting this deal done to get Brittany back. And, you know, if you got to use the Saudi Crown Prince. Okay, good. Apparently, they were trying to do a double deal and get the other guy that's been in prison. You know, what's his name? Paul Wheelan.

Now, apparently, that was part of the deal, the original deal. We were going to get Brittany Griner and Paul Weillan for the merchant of death. And that didn't work out. So we settled for just Brittany Griner and they would get the merchant of death. A little, you know, some people are a little upset about that. You know, Whelan's been in prison for quite some time now since 2018 for spying charges. So, you know, people want him back. And I don't disagree with that.

But I am happy that we do have Brittany Griner, you know, back home. There's no, there's absolutely. no reason that she should have been in prison is just agonizing that she was in prison. Now, that having been said, she is going to be, just be ready for this. Okay, this is just a chewing the fat thought out loud. Just be ready for a Brittany Griner world win tour. She's going to be on every morning show. She's going to be on every late night talk show.

She's going to be on every magazine. cover. She is going to be introduced at every WNBA, NBA, NBA game, NFL game. There's going to be Britney Griner whirlwind tour starting very, very soon. It will start immediately after you get

the photo shoots with President Biden and Jill Biden and probably Kamala and probably Doug and the whole White House staff will be there with Brittany and her wife or going to be wife or whoever she's married to now. And it's going to be, it's going to be agonizing. After about a week and a half from now, you're going to be so sick of seeing Britney

Griner. You're going to wish she was back in the old penal colony. But that's just me thinking out loud. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So ever so often we hear stories about people selling things to other people online about their fetishes. We had the girl that sells her toenails and claims she makes $10,000 a month or more selling all kinds of weird stuff. Now there's a story about a guy from the United Kingdom, this 25-year-old who said,

my life has changed since I started fulfilling people's fetishes online. And, of course, his family is fully behind him. Yeah, duh. He claims he now makes 22,000 euros a month by selling burps in a jar and sending people his youth socks. He said he worked in retail. He worked in supermarkets. He couldn't do it. I just can't take it anymore.

My mental health was going out of control and I just don't like dealing with people anymore. So, there you go. I converted my spare bedroom into a content room. My first goal was to figure out a way to set myself aside from other content creators and find my own niche. I quit my retail job November of 2019 due to my mental health. And so now his first foray into fetishes came in 2018, and then he took it serious, obviously, when he quit his job in 2019. His subscribers have increased over time. He started posting more regularly and now has his spare bedroom dedicated to his craft.

People ask him for his bathwater, used underwear, old shoes. But where he makes his money is selling burps. Okay. He gets requests from people who that want him to gulp down bottles of Coca-Cola and burp into a jar, seal the jar. and post it to him and then mail it to them. Man, do I want that? Do I want a jar that you burped into

after slamming down a two-liter bottle of Coca-Cola and then I want that burp sealed in a jar? You know, whatever. I'm not going to judge. If you enjoy opening up a sealed jar, that had this guy's burp in it from Coca-Cola. Bless your heart. It is that time of the year when everybody is having their person of the year,

song of the year, everybody wants to be the, you know, the person of the year. I see where People Magazine has listed their People of the Year, People Magazine, people's people of the year, four celebs who were here to help in 2022, And I'm sure you can guess, you know, at least one of them. Yes, Matthew McConaughey is on the list. Then we have Quinta Brunson, Jennifer Hudson, and Mila Coonis. I'm not sure why Jennifer Hudson is on this list, but, you know, she is. McConaughey, of course, is on the list because of Yuvalde, his hometown.

And he and his wife didn't have a plan. and so they made you know they're making the big rounds for gun reform and they carried the uh carried the shoes on the front line stories of the families so it's important congratulations matthew we appreciate it emmy winner quinta brunson created abbott elementary because she wanted to show that bridge generational divides and get her and her parents and grandparents laughing at the same jokes So congratulations to Quentin Brunson. Oh, here we find out why Jennifer Hudson was on the list. She has a new talk show.

Oh, so it's a promotion for a new talk show. Okay. She made it her mission. I mean, let's find out why Jennifer was on the list of people's people of the year. She made it her mission to create a platform for everyone just so we all have a place to feel included. That's the same thing I did. Chewing the fat. Why is she getting the accolades?

And I'm not. I mean, thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat. but, and I'm not doing it for accolades or awards or, you know, be nice to be, you know, noticed once in a while, maybe, you know, people's people of the year nomination. I don't even have to win, but be nice, that's all I'm saying. She just wanted to have a place to feel included. So she said it's simple, but so important.

And the show launch comes on the heels of her incredible year, which I'd forgotten about already, it's how incredible it was. She became the youngest woman to, ever achieve egot status. So Jennifer Hudson now has an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony, and she was the youngest female to ever do it at the age of 41. And then we have Milakunas who saw Russia invade Ukraine, and she didn't expect to deliver

aid to Ukrainian people, but when friends reached out, assuming Mila could tell them where to give since she was born in Ukraine, I knew I had to help. Not knowing where to start, didn't slow her down. We didn't have a solution, so we created one. Today, she's raised $37 million for refugees in need. That's actually awesome. I'm not big on the whole Russia-Ukraine war. It's time to end that thing.

I think that, you know, the United States government has given $100 billion already, maybe more. And she's at least raising funds to help the refugees from people's own. back pockets. She's not taking it from our tax dollars. Good. Good for you, Milo. So those are people's people of the year. And then we have Time Magazine and their person of the year. And we don't forget the nominations went out to Governor Ronda Santas, Representative Liz Cheney, Twitter CEO Elon Musk. No way. They're giving it to Elon. No way they're... Liz Cheney, stop it. Maybe. Maybe. they give it to DeSantis. Boy, that would be just piss off Trump. But they also included

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Why? Okay, whatever. Congratulations for being nominated. Chinese President Xi Jinping, which is doable. I believe, I'm surprised he didn't make the cut. And a Ukrainian president of Vladimir Zelensky. Now, you know, we're reading that list. You know who they're going to choose, right? I mean, it has to be Vladimir Zelensky. And yes, yes it was. Congratulations to Vladimir as being Time Magazine's 2022 person of the year.

Yeah. Now how proud are you? 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. I am surprised.

They didn't give person of the year to Elon Musk, although he is now a public enemy number one. No question. Really amazing how Elon has become public enemy number one. I mean, ever since he purchased Twitter, it's been the bull's eye has been on his back. We're after him now for Neurrelink issues, experiment on monkeys going back. bad. You know, he's fired the general counsel. He's coming. He's releasing all kinds of files that were never intended to be released. The janitors have now started now striking on him, so he's fired him. They're after him for setting up cots at work. Are you kidding me?

Sitting up cots. We know that Tesla is down, I don't know, another 50% or whatever. I mean, this is how bad it is for Elon Musk, okay? He is no longer the richest man in the world. I know. Dry your eyes. Okay, so as of yesterday, his fortune has dipped to $185.3 billion. So he's not number one. He is number two. He's number two. So he's at 185.3.

And coming in at number one is, Bernard Arnault, the chief executive of the luxury brand Louis Vuitton's parent company LVMH and his family. They are worth $185.4 billion. So a $1 billion is put Elon not at number one. So, I mean, he is public enemy number one. There's no question about it. we'll see what happens with Elon. Just keep plugging away, Elon.

Keep plugging away. At Jeffrey JFR on Twitter is my Twitter handle. And I still have a blue check mark. I don't know when we're supposed to start paying for the blue check mark. What's supposed to happen with all of that? I guess they're supposed to be different colors for different facets of companies and people. So we'll see if I'm going to pay Elon any money for my blue check mark. But as of now, at Jeffrey JFR is a blue check mark on Twitter.

Jeff Fisher Radio is a verified account on Facebook. And Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram is not a verified account on Instagram. So, I mean, two out of three ain't bad. It's a song or something in there. So it's also that time of year. I guess Elon's probably one of the people along with Bernan. Arnold Arnault, that could afford the, all, everything in the Christmas song, My true love gave to me.

So it is that time of year again, right? We've got to have the people and the persons and the songs, and we've got to know how much the Christmas song, My true love gave to me is going to cost you. Okay. So a partridge in a pear tree is now 25.8% more expensive at $280.18. cents. The price of a partridge is not changed, but continued growth in the cost of its tree, due in part

to higher fertilizer cost means an overall price increase for the gift. So $280.18 for a partridge in a pear tree. What about those damn two turtle doves? Yes, $600 bucks for two turtle doves. 33%, 33.3% increase. Rising cost to feed, you're going to be paying more to feed the two turtle doves. What about those three French hens? Yes, $318.75 plus 25%.

Feeding hungry hens is no smaller cheap chore. So you're going to be costing more to feed them. What about the four calling birds? Those are just under $600. $599.96 cents. What about the five? Golden Rings. Well, they're up 39.1% to $1,245.

Wow. It's the most expensive line item on True Love Shopping list. The gold rings grew almost 40% this year. Six geeseleying, $720. 9.1% increase in that. What about seven swans of swimming? 13,124.93 cents for seven swans of swimming. Now, I will say this?

Oh, that's not an increase from last year. So you're paying the same for seven swans of swimming. What about one of my favorites, eight maids of milking? There's no change. No change from last year. Wow. Back to back, no changes. Seven swans of swimming and eight maids of milking.

no change. You can get eight maids of milking, $58. That seems cheap. I feel like they would cost more than that. That's just me, though. That's just me. Nine ladies dancing, $8,308.3.12 cents. That's up 10%.

Yeah, I feel like nine ladies dancing is going to end up costing you more than $8,308.12. But again, that's just me. 10 lords a leaping. Yeah, that's going to cost you more than $13,980. But that's what they claim here. And that's an increase of 24.2%. What about the 11 pipers piping?

You can probably get them for cheaper. They claim 11 pipers piping is $3,021.40. I feel like you could probably get that a little cheaper. But that's only an increase of 2.6%. And then, of course, we have 12.1%. 12 drummers drumming. Now, maybe you could incorporate the 11 pipers piping into the 12 drummers drumming and could you a little cheaper.

But according to this, 12 drummers drumming is $3,266.93. So it's only an increase of 2.6%. So the true cost of the Christmas song is 197,000. $71.9. Which is an increase of 9.8%. So it represents the total cost of all the gifts bestowed by the true love when you count each repetition of the song,

totaling 364 presents, spreading cheer throughout the year. It's going to cost you 9.8% more than it did last year. So that's what you get when you're purchase. just seeing all of your stuff with my true love gave to me Merry Christmas.

So as you've been wondering, what happened to T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach on Good Morning America's lunchtime segment, the GMA3, they are out. They're not on the air. They've been taken off the air. I don't think they've been fired yet. I'm not sure that ABC and Disney know exactly how to handle the situation because they've been in this big romance now for at least six months it's looking like.

And those two are both married. So they've been having an affair with each other. There was a big expose on them, a daily mail. I think it was a daily mail that followed them around. They found them at a New York City bar. They were alone time in their apartments, and they caught them shacking up in some cottage in upstate New York for a romantic weekend getaway. Now, she's been married, and he's been married now for a number of years. And I guess now they are, you know, obviously getting a divorce or at least breaking up, separating for a while.

he has been not only doing Amy but doing a few other people around the old ABC Good Morning America offices too according to reports Now I guess Robin Roberts wasn't too happy about it I guess she's the big boss

of ABC and Good Morning America And what Robin wants Robin gets So she I guess confronted them And they were like yeah So what? Leave us alone We can do what we want there's no rules against it so they were taken off the air and uh guess there are rules guess there are rules against it so there's no comment from abc uh funny this happened uh you know

disney's in charge so they are going to be taken off the air and they're probably going to be fired and looking for a new gig uh you know just because they got you know hot and bothered with each other on the air and uh decided that it didn't matter if people knew so what we're together so yeah well now you can be together without your job and without your spouses to go home to would you get tired of each other during your affair so uh yeah i got to go home i got to be with my husband yeah i got to go home i got to be with my wife sorry i'm tired of being with you i was with you all day at the office and i've been with you all day over here at this or at this hotel room.

But now I want a little time with my spouse. Those days are over. Those days are over. And so are the paychecks. So if you've been missing them on GMA3, I don't know where they're going to turn up. I guess somebody will take a picture of them on the streets in New York,

looking disheveled and bumped out and wondering what they're going to do with their life. Oh, what a wicked... What's the line? Oh, what a wicked web? No. Oh, what a web of... What's the... the line. I think I've got dementia. I've been eating too much, too much bad food. It's, oh, what a tangled web, right? Oh, what a tangled web. We weave when first we try to deceive. Is that it?

Oh, now I've got to look it up. Hold on. Let me see what it is. Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. Okay. All right, fine. That's it. Back off me. I knew that there was some kind of line there, all right. You know, then we have all kinds of people that want to have business, but they don't want to have kids, right? That's a problem. We've got a big problem with plenty of people wanting to do business,

but not having kids. And they're making a big deal in South Korea. They're paying people to have kids, and they still aren't having kids. They have the world's lowest fertility rate. Figures in November showed the average number of children in South Korea will have of their lifetime is 0.79. And seems like not even one.

I'm not good at math and figures, but I'm just feeling like 0.79 is less than one. Anyway, that's according to, you know, world reports to maintain a stable population, you need to have a 2.1. children in a lifetime, right? So the United States is now 1.6 and Japan is at 1.3. Wow. We are not at 2.1 either. Wow. I mean, that, if you're an aging population,

you're going to end up having a tough time, a shortage of workers. Wow. And young, I mean, young people just, they want to have business, but they don't want to have kids. So, okay. Keep saying that you want people to have kids and then keep supporting abortion. What's wrong with this picture? I don't know. I don't know. So now they started throwing money at people telling them, hey, we'll pay you to have kids.

We'll do whatever we can do. And they're like, yeah, no, no, it's okay. I can't. I don't want the kids, okay? I don't want them. So I don't know what we're going to do. I don't know how you make people, you know, change their ways and they don't want children. One of the things, this is just me, thinking out loud.

I mean, what do I know? I don't even know, oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. I don't even know that line anymore. But I do know that if you continue to support abortion, I'm sorry, women's rights, then there will be less children born. I know. That's how that works. Weird. Weird.

I mean, as long as I mentioned, you know, people and persons of the year, I don't want Steph Curry to get, you know, upset with me. So, Steph Curry was the sports person of the year on Four Sports Illustrated. So congratulations to Steph Curry. And then I see where TV Guide has listed their 20 best TV shows of 2022. It is that time of year again, isn't it? So the 20 best TV shows of 2022, according to TV guide editors, okay?

It's all good, but sometimes it's tough to get through. Andor on Disney Plus. Okay, I'm told that's part of the, you know, whole Star Wars thing, but it's not. Okay, you got it. It's part of the whole Star Wars thing, but it's not. Andor on Disney Plus. Okay.

The Old Man. No mention of, 1883, Yellowstone. I mean, a TV guide. Maybe we need to, you know, redo your top 20 list for 2022. But I digger. Speaking of Jeff Bridges, I saw an ad last night with Jeff Bridges in it, talking about up the antibodies.

And I thought, wait, what? So did Jeff Bridges actually up the antibodies? and I you know it's an ad or is he just uh are they just is he just doing commercials for them so you know it's an ad and he talks about how great long-acting monoclonal antibodies are for COVID-19 well I took a look and I thought isn't that interesting that Jeff Bridges is doing the monoclonal antibodies commercials and so he partnered with Astrosan I'm sorry AstraZeneca partnered with Jeff Bridges and they partnered also with Kamal Nanjani and Emily V. Gordon to educate the immunocompromised community about added protection against COVID-19. Now in the story it talks about Jeff who was dealing with cancer and COVID-19,

and he said, while the option to up my antibodies to protect me from COVID-19 wasn't around when I was going through cancer treatment, it is now. And as soon as I could, I upped my antibodies. And now I'm feeling more confident to get back to doing the things I love. Are you, Jeff? Are you? So, look, if they work, good for you. I hope they do active chemotherapy,

hematologic malignancies, transplant recipients, primary immune deficiency, moderate to severe, people taking immunosuppressive drugs, advanced or on. treated HIV. Maybe you need the long-acting monoclonal antibodies and the COVID-19 vaccine. But I just know that Jeff Bridges is working with Up the Antibodies. And you can always find out more at Uptheantibodies.com.

And he looks so great. This has got his blue jeans on and his blue jeans shirt and his guitar looking off into the sun and doing things that he wants to do up in the mountains with his horses. It's just wonderful. And, you know, I'm glad that he kicked cancer, or at least his battling back with cancer, and I'm glad COVID didn't kill him. I love Jeff Bridges.

I love his work. But I just find it interesting that now it's, we're upping our up the antibodies. So we've upped ours. Now up yours. Stream and subscribe to more blacement. media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.
