Hello, and welcome. Good to see you. Thanks for coming along for the ride today. Just a little helpful hint today, the 6th of January, 2021. For those of you listening live, it's a big day around the country in many, many places. But it's also a day that we learned that the Coast Guard will now have defense cruise missiles in their inventory. So if you're thinking about just wandering around the beach, doing what you're not supposed to be doing, I think not, my friend.

I think not. The Coast Guard with their cruise missiles will have something to say to you. Okay? So be on the lookout. That's all I'm saying. Fair warning. Welcome to chewing the fat. So it appears.

That time is speeding up. So they want to shorten the minute by a second. I know. So, for example, last Sunday was only, and I felt it. It probably so did you. You felt to yourself, wow, this day was shorter than yesterday. And you'd be right. It was 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59.999.927 seconds.

Duh. That's according to time and date.com. And while the planet's rotation speeds up or slows down slightly from day to day due to natural, terrestrial and celestial alterations, astronomical calendars, trends indicate that recent years have become shorter. Okay. So 2020, and it didn't feel like it was shorter, I'll tell you that, but according to this, it was, 2020 is now the leading year since 2005 for the shortest day 28 times.

In 2021, is slated to be about 19. milliseconds short of a typical year. We can't have that. We cannot have that. That means there's an average daily deficit of 0.5 milliseconds. I know. I know. But we've got the atomic clock,

and what they've been doing is leap seconds. All right, they've added seconds 27 times to make up for the slowing rotation. So the last adjustment was 2016. And man, do I remember that, right? I mean, wow. So what they want to do is give you a leap second. All right? And so they're thinking about just taking that second away.

So making a second a minute. at 59 seconds instead of 60. Good luck, God bless. All right, have fun with that. Now, the last time they did that, it screwed everything up. In 2012, an added leap second caused server crashes, Reddit, Yelp, LinkedIn. It also disrupted those who used the Linux operating systems and their software using JavaScript. So there's national leaders.

that want to do away with taking care of the leap second corrections. They just want to let it go. Now, we don't know what's going to happen, so we have to wait until the World Radio Communication Conference in 2023. I'm not sure where the World Radio Communication Conference of 2023 is, but it's held every four years, and it doesn't look like that particular item is on the agenda. But maybe it'll get added to the agenda.

Of course, there's always new agenda since the world radio communications conference, 23 has got to be at least four to six weeks long. Man, does that sound fun? Does that sound fun? I want an invitation. I want an invitation. I want to be able to go. We could do it chewing the fat from the world

radio communication conference, 2023. It just broadcast live. I love that idea. I've got to see. I've got to check into that. That would be great. Then we could force their hand

to talk about the leap second. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Because I'm pissed right now. Pissed. Pissed. We've done all these leap seconds, screwing things up, and our days are getting shorter.

I mean, I could barely get through last Sunday knowing that it was going to be only 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59.998, 97 seconds. So we've got to have this addressed at the next world radio communication. Conference. You know, we live in confusing times. And that's, you know that as well as I do. But I'm now confused what I'm supposed to be mad at. Okay. So Britain has restricted the promotion of unhealthy foods. Okay. They're going to ban, buy one, get one, free promotions.

for food, high in fat, sugar or salt, and free refills of sugary soft drinks in restaurants, starting, I guess, next year. And it's their step to tackle obesity and improve public health. So, because obesity is one of Britain's biggest long-term public health problems, almost two-thirds of adults in England are overweight, one and three children leaving primary school,

overweight or obese. So, I mean, you can't, they're going to restrict wear in a store promotions on such products could be advertised and on healthy promotions. They're not going to be allowed at checkout to shop entrances or the end of the aisles. It's just okay. And now they're going to, they want to ban TV and online advertisements for junk food before 9 p.m. and then they proposed a total ban of online advertising them on healthy food.

It's just such a, okay, good. I know that Boris Johnson has said, I've got to lose weight too. And, you know, thanks to COVID-19. And being overweight is shown to increase the risk of serious illness. And so then we get the backlash for Cosmopolitan, which, you know, by the way, the tweet that we all are looking at with this, This is healthy with the, you know, obese chicks on the cover, or at least two out of three.

And they say, this is healthy. That's coming from Cosmopolitan UK. And, you know, of course, reclaim healthy. And this is healthy. And one size fits all. It doesn't have to be that. And, you know, they face big backlash. Big backlash.

And they're, you know, I know we're not supposed to body shame and all that stuff. But they're saying, this is not healthy. You're out of your minds. Oh, okay. especially during global pandemic where obesity has been identified as a high-risk precondition. And I'm well aware of that as an obese person. You know, with my BMI is about, I don't know, 198, something like that. And I know.

I'm not quite sure what my BMI is. I'm just guessing it's 198. So, you know, no problem. I'm not going to get stuck in prison like the terrorist or anything like that because my BMI is way over obese. I got it. I mean, 198,

I think is morbidly, morbidly, morbidly obese. That's where I'm at. So, I mean, you know, that's the way it is. But,

so we do, I see this, all right? And we're facing backlash and I know that we're all wound up about promoting fatness. Heaven forbid. We promote fatness.

And look, there's a difference between, overweight and athletically overweight and being a fat guy. I've made those jokes before, but it really isn't a joke. It's kind of true. You know, there's a lot of big guys that are athletically overweight, of which I was won for a long time. But then there's, you know, the fat guy.

And we all know the fat guy, right? But then, so we have that and you think, okay, we're going to all, we're going to beat up obesity and that's where we're at and then we're good to go all right i'm good i'm going down that road with you good enough i am ashamed that i'm obese i won't i'll try not to eat stuff that i'm not supposed to and geez i can't wait until our government here in the united states of america is just like the other governments around the country specifically the united kingdom where they can mandate and tell me oh that's almost like mandates they're almost like laws.

And they can tell companies what they can and cannot advertise and how they can and cannot advertise the products that they have. I love that. That is great. I mean, you could look forward to that happening more in this country very soon, my friends, very, very soon. Anyway, so we have that. And then we're going to beat up on the whole food.

CEO, John Mackey, because he suggested Americans wouldn't need health care if they'd only eat better. So he's saying, hey, don't be fat, eat better, and we're going to beat him up because of that. What? I mean, he's, come on now. Come on. He's, I'm pretty sure he said it before. I didn't read this whole article, and I apologize for not reading the whole thing, but he talked about in this interview.

Yeah, it was back in November. That's what I thought. I remember talking to you about this. I remember talking to you about it because he talked about, hey, the best solution is to change the way people eat and the way they live and the lifestyle and diet.

And there's no reason why people shouldn't be healthy and have a longer health span. A bunch of drugs is not going to solve the problem. Yes, I remember talking about this with you before. And this is way back in November. And so now, now, we're talking about it again, and we're pissed at him all over again.

Oh, okay. All right. I guess we don't like him anymore because he's telling us we need to eat better and live without health care. Oh, my God, the horror. We can't have that. Wealthy CEOs making these broad, sweeping statements

while refusing to acknowledge how most Americans are simply unable to live these. I'm healthy because I eat and sleep well lifestyles is so tone deaf. Is it? Is it? He's saying that's, I mean, he's backing up what he's talking about. He created whole foods for people to eat healthy. It's the most expensive place on the planet to buy food.

Okay. I don't buy your food there. I could did I mention it was confusing times yes okay good because it really is confusing times and this is just another

example of it and you know what I may just I may just that may be just the theme of today's Merv Griffin show for those of you that don't remember the great Merv Griffin who created all these shows and Mr. Media Mogul

had his own talk show for a long time and he would do these theme weeks. That was a Merv Griffin theme week. And this is the theme, the Merv Griffin theme show. Confusing times. All right. Well, as long as we're talking about being overweight, we have a new study that talks about whether eating healthy people's number two,

could make you lose weight. And amazingly, it had some unexpected results. All right. So first, I want to say, of course you would lose weight with this. If you, if they said, hey, what you have to eat is somebody else's number two, you would lose weight because you wouldn't eat. There's no way. But, of course, it's not really that.

and I guess there was a TV documentary, which I'm going to have to watch, I think, called The Good Sh. So two professors set out to discover whether they could find a solution to the world's obesity epidemic. And they wanted to have people eat of healthy people's number two. And according to the study, it did reduce the condition that can lead to heart attacks and type 2 diabetes. Oh, isn't that special? Now, it isn't quite what we think. It's a diverse community, bacteria,

and what they did is they took, the participants took 28 capsules containing the gut bacteria of four healthy donors over two days. And this bacteria survived in the gut, but while the bacteria stayed, so did the fat. So while they thought it would get

a dramatic weight loss, it didn't happen, but they did get to see that the metabolic syndrome almost disappeared in those treated. So that condition with higher blood pressure, higher blood sugars, higher lipids, too much tummy fat,

major risk for diabetes, major risk for heart disease. So good for them. And so by taking the gut pills, the condition was gone. Now, I don't know what kind of aftertaste, the gut pills leaves, and I don't necessarily think I'm going to find out. But it is a little misleading, thinking that you're actually eating healthy people's number two.

Because, well, yes, you are. No, you're not. Something good, though. Let's talk about, you know, what we're not supposed to talk about. Food. McDonald's is launching a new sandwiches next month, and it's up against the chicken wars. We talked a little bit about this earlier, earlier, or late last year, I guess it would be now since we're into 2021 now.

So three versions of a new chicken sandwich, which is going to be available on February 24. Fourth, wow, we gotta wait until the end of February. A crispy chicken sandwich topped with pickles and served on a potato roll. A spicy chicken sandwich, which adds a spicy pepper sauce and a deluxe chicken sandwich, which comes with lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. So they're, you know, looking to take over and fight in the chicken sandwich war. Maybe the crispy chicken sandwich without the pickle. we'll see how the potato roll is.

I'm not really a big fan of the potato roll, but maybe with the crispy chicken sandwich is pretty good. But I don't know why they, what's the pickle? That's no. I mean, that's Chick-fil-A's deal. And I'm not a big fan of the pickle there. So what are you doing? How about you just say,

we're not fans of pickles either. And we just, Go from there. Okay. And have you tried the new spicy chicken McNuggets from McDonald's? I have not either. And it's been quite some time

since I've been to a McDonald's. And I just, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I know it's a good thing. Stop looking at me like that. And as long as we're on fast food, you see where KFC, and I don't think it was real,

launched a gaming console, the KF console, which I didn't think it was really real when I saw the headline, but I just watched a video, a commercial. If it's not real, it's pretty good down there part with at KFC Gaming. It's verified, it's a verified account,

introducing the KF console, hashtag Power Your Hunger. The future of gaming is here. I watch the 46 second video. I'll tweet it out, I'll retweet it out. It comes with this built-in chicken chamber. Now, obviously, you don't have to use it for chicken. You can warm any type of food you wanted in it. But it opens up and it uses the natural heat and airflow to keep hungry gamers.

Here's put your chicken in there. There's nothing like a house smelling like KFC chicken and especially coming from the gaming console. But it looks like the real deal. It looks like it's, you know, compatible with a lot of different games. It has VR capabilities, and it looks like it's ready for 4K TV gaming. It guarantees gameplay speeds that are about six times faster than your average console. Okay. All right, if that's what you say,

then good for you. It's built by cooler master from the ground up and, you know, have fun. Enjoy it. Do I want one? I think I do. I think I do. Just to say that, yes, I have a KFC console that's warming my meat. All right, as we head over to the break room, let me,

But your disclaimer means I don't have to give you a prize.

So we'll move on to the next email that was answered from David saying is from stripes. D. L-M-A-O. So he's right. And there was no disclaimer. So David, congratulations. You've won a brand new. All right, so I got a new gig for you.

Way for you to make some money. Okay, you need to become a Cambo practitioner. That means you're going to join the International Association of Cambo practitioners. It's a nonprofit based out of the nonprofit. Netherlands. There's only 400 specialists in the world right now. So you need to go there and figure out what you need to do. Now they, I went to their website and it talks about how the, you know, you need to become a practitioner. The pro training program has been up and running for five years. The entire process, it doesn't say how long. It's a two-week training course. Yes, it

right there. It's a two-week training course, and it's a three-year journey from basic practitioner to master practitioner. Okay? Yeah. Okay. And the courses are currently taught in English and Spanish in 2021 this year. Hello. They're going to roll out their basic practitioner course in Polish and German. and they're currently offering all practitioners the opportunity to undertake an extension course in the Amazon jungle in Brazil or Peru where you could meet the frog and I'll tell you more about that in a moment and receive direct teachings from the tribes. How cool is that? Huh? I know. So Cambo is a gluey substance produced on the skin.

of a giant monkey frog. Okay, so when it's threatened, it excretes what they call cambo. And they use that. You get, it's a cambo cleanse. All right. It's a toxin and it cleanses you. According to Julia Allison from San Francisco,

She said that it was the worst experience of her life. I can't wait to do it again. It's long been used as traditional medicine by indigenous tribes of South America. Now, to harvest, let's call it what it is, poison. Local capture the frogs, place them bound near a fire. The stress causes the frogs to secrete the cambo, K-A-M-B-O, which is then dabbed off on small sticks. Now, you, if you want to, you know, be a part of this cleansing,

you gently burn some of your skin, and then the toxin is applied to the wool. It causes immediate and severe short-term symptoms, including projectile vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rate, and a swollen phase. Which they call frog face. And then you're unbelievably nauseous. So it gives intense, negative sensations. But it helps create feelings. of strength and power.

It's discomforting systems to an intensive cleanse. Later, analyze their bodily fluids after to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments. Yeah, so, I mean, wow, if we check your fluids, we don't know the treatment may not have been effective. You may not have been cleansed as much as you thought and may have to go through it again. Now, it can cure migraines to anxiety,

and it can succeed where more traditional medicines or therapy prove ineffective. Now, how much would you pay for that? I feel like this is a Cambo infomercial. How much would you pay for that? Would you willing to pay $1,000? No, that's not $1,000. I would. I would pay $1,000 for that.

Apparently, a session held in Berkeley, California, last year cost $150 each, $150? for to burn your skin and get a little frog toxin, a little cambo on there? That's not bad.

I've been a lot more for things that do things similar. I'll tell you that. Now, hospitalizations and even deaths have been reported. But that's only because there was the lack of trained professionals able to administer Canbo. And that's why you need to become a practitioner certified by the International Association of Cambo practitioners.

Okay? Yeah, that's right. So if you just go to the website, the International Association of Cambo practitioners. You could go down the list of the programs and news and information and everything you need to know about. And you could even find, let's find a Cambo practitioner. Do we have a Cambo practitioner here? Oh, they got to fill out this whole thing to find a practitioner.

Yeah. So I don't know if they have one in Texas or not. going to find out. Yeah, so I typed in a thousand kilometers and there are no practitioners within a thousand kilometers of Fort Worth, Texas. So now I'm disappointed. I'm going to have to dive in and find out where the closest practitioner is. That's very disappointing that there's not one close because man, do I want to try, Canbo. Nothing like burning your skin and then having the frog secretion goo put on that burn so it gets right to work on that cleanse. Man, does that sound good?

So if you're swiping through your dating apps and you run across a Susan Wright from Texas. I'm sure she'll use her real name and let you know that. you know, from Texas. And she pops up Susan Wright from Texas on your dating app. You may want to swipe left and not right on Susan. And I mean swiping right on Susan right may prove to be a bad swipe. She was convicted in 2004 for stabbing her husband. And the prosecution said that she killed her husband for $200,000 life insurance policy.

she claimed later in a second trial that she was abused and that's why she killed her husband. Now, after she did, after she killed him, she buried his body in a hole in their backyard. So she had that thought out. But that really wasn't the worst part. Because once you're dead, I mean, you can quote me on this. Once you're dead. You're dead. but there's nothing confusing about that at all in our confusing times theme there's nothing confusing

about that once you're dead you're dead uh susan uh told her husband hey how about some sex hubby said sure now she tied him to their bed and then proceeded to preceded post seated yeah You know, after she tied him to the bed, she then stabbed him to death. One hundred and ninety three times. So there's that. Now, she was found guilty and sentenced to 25 years in prison. This was in 2004.

All right. In 2010, she had a second trial because the judge determined she had received adequate legal representation during the sentencing phase of the 2004 trial. And so the new trial resulted in her receiving a 20-year sentence. So, I mean, she gained five years by getting that second trial in. So anyway, she's out now. She's out on parole. Good for her.

She did her time. And she's out on parole now. So there's that. And just all I'm saying is that if you run across Susan Wright from Texas on your dating app, I would not swipe right. That's all I'm saying. If it were me. Oh, you know what I've been meaning to tell?

When we were on vacation, the story broke out of Los Angeles, where Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy, and I know the story says allegedly, but I mean, we hear it going on. Had sex in the Universal Studios lot. And he left his mic on for the world

to hear. And I mean, and it made me, you know, laugh out loud, I lolled. Because who would leave a mic on when you're doing something that, you know, normally you don't want people to hear? Duh.

I mean, just because I have experience with that happening, which you can find on the Blaze YouTube channel where I went number one on the air. I'm not even in that video. I mean, you hear me, but it's not, you don't even see me. Anyway, it's with Andrew Wilco and Pat Gray and Stu Bergier from the old Pat and Stu show.

and I had my mic on and was going to the bathroom. But this LA County, and they're trying to tell them, hey, you've got an open mic, dummy. And you can hear, oh,

yeah. It gets a little bit more graphic, and I'll just go ahead and let that one go. It, uh, they keep trying to tell them, uh, hello,

your mic is open. What are you doing? Well, he was, immediately relieved of duty and administrative investigation has been open so we'll see the outcome of that Los Angeles

County Sheriff's deputy but good rule of thumb as a deputy or anyone that is in a government vehicle that has a microphone where you communicate back and forth with

other human beings you may want to make sure that if you're going to have sex with someone in that vehicle, that you leave the microphone off. I know. I know. I get it. It's an easy thing to forget. But it's just a helpful hint from me.

Okay? Okay. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts. So I know I try to stay away from politics on chewing the fat and I really, you know, it's hard and it's difficult to not get into it. And I get into it during Pat's show from time to time when I'm there on Wednesdays for chewing the fat and Fridays for, you know, we do more on trivia. And Fridays we have, you know, just have some fun and I hang out for the show. But we do, you know, get into politics. Today, for those of you, you know, obviously listening live was a big day.

The Georgia vote came out. It looked like both Democrats won. As of right now, we'll see if that holds true or not, but it certainly does look that way. We've got the big rallies going on in D.C. And where the president was going to speak. And then there's breaking news about some of the Trump supporters breaching the Capitol building and tearing down security fence. and fighting federal police,

it's, I don't know, you know, I don't know what the hell is going on. But just calm down. Okay, calm down. That's all I'm telling you, calm down. I know it looks bad. And I know a lot of people don't believe the outcome of the presidential election, let alone these Senate elections in Georgia.

But either way. As I tried to say this morning, you know, the country has survived and the country will be okay. You know, it very well could get dark, but just pray and know that the country will will survive. Okay? All right. Good. I mean that. We have to believe that that's true.

We have to believe that that's true. Right? Okay. So I haven't talked much about Carl Lentz. We talked a little bit about Carl and the Hillsong Church and his affair and how Justin and, you know, the wife have distanced themselves from Carl Lentz, the pastor, Carl Lens, from Hill Song Church. I mean, they were buds. And they were just, I mean, they, and this is how horrific it was. was, okay?

They stopped following him on Instagram. I know. I know that's, that's pretty bad. Okay? I know. So now the news is out that Justin, Justin Bieber, the Bebbs, was training to become a man of the cloth.

Okay? And Justin is not having any of that. He is not having any of that. On his Instagram, story. He said, I'm not studying to be a minister or anything even close to that. And he wrote it in all caps. So you know he's serious. Have no desire for that. This is fake news. Okay, Justin, calm down, bud. Take it easy. Gotcha. Okay. We got it. All right. So in his denounce, he said that Hill Song is not my church for clarity

I am part of church home okay now that's a non-denominational ministry based out on the West Coast and it preaches remote fellowship among its celebrity congregation

now also there these congregants are known to attend services at Hillsong while on the East Coast. Oh, okay. So then we find out that the church home is kind of part of the hill song. Kind of part there, you know, because, you know, according to magazines, the people who go there, church home, go to Hillsong, that kind of thing. But Justin is having none of that.

All right. He is on his story. It's fake. It's not my church. And he also said, he went on to say church is not a place. We are the church. We don't need a building to connect with God. God is with us wherever we are.

Amen. I mean, and a woman. And, you know, A stupid. Whatever it is. Gotcha. Justin, I know you're all wound up. Okay. We got it.

All right. Now, you know, Carl, Carl Lentz, a pastor Lentz, was a pretty close friend to Justin. They spent a lot of time together. So it isn't, it isn't, it isn't, I'm thinking. that Justin was still part of the church,

still part of the deal. But he had a big downfall. He had an affair with what looks like some fashion designer in New York. And, man, he took a fall hard. And now the Manhattan campus of the global Hillsong Church is now under investigation by church church officials who have now uncovered what they say is evidence of embezzlement by other local branch leaders.

So, all right, all right, whatever. According to now a whistleblower, I'm sorry, a former Hillsong service pastor in Los Angeles, he says that the house of worship had become a cult. and allegedly demands slave labor from its patrons. Oh, okay. All I know is Haley Baldwin has unfollowed the ex-pastor from Hillsong Church, Carl Lenz, on Instagram. So that is serious. So I'm reading this story the other day.

I see the headline. to feel when someone is thinking about you and I mean you say well yeah of course I mean we we say it all the time your ears must have been burning right or I was just thinking about you and somebody calls or text you and and you end up thinking well yeah it's possible and really we should act on it right I talk we talk about all the time about You always go with what you're thinking right then, right? Don't say, oh, I should have called. Yeah, I should have done that.

I should have made it right. I knew I should have made it right. I knew he should have done that. Well, you should have. You've got to learn to listen to yourself and hear yourself. You can quote me on that. You've got to learn to listen to yourself and to hear yourself. And it's a difficult thing to do to listen and actually hear yourself.

and actually hear and then actually act on that. That's a process. It's tough to get through. And I really have been, I've been reading, all these people I've been reading, it's jumping in my face, which means I've got to start doing it. I've got to figure out meditation.

And either transcendental meditation or just some kind of meditation, I got to start getting into it. If you are into it, email me, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com because I've got to I got to figure it out. It's been in my face for the last week now and I haven't acted on it. I've been listening and I've been hearing but I haven't acted. So anyway, this story goes on and it talks about you know, hey, if you're, you know, if you're, you know,

if you're random blushing and it talks about, you know, well, okay. And it talks about sudden anxiety and nerves. And it talks about contentment and silly grins and it talks about who you know who's thinking about you and then it goes on to talk about you need to find a quiet secluded place to meditate while you're holding that feeling and then uh you know once there you're trying to connect with that person or persons that you were thinking of and that uh you know then you can create that connection and hopefully that you know, connection will keep going and will last longer than that. So, I mean, we all know that we've got messages and phone calls and from people who we were just thinking about,

or you mention them and then they call. And that's just not Google texting them yet, although it may be happening, you know, around the corner. But it is something that, you know, you have some kind of connection. somewhere, right? Some kind of telepathic connection we're supposed to, right? All right, I'm going to have to talk to some kind of brain telepathic doc and figure it out. But if you're, if you are into transcendental meditation or use, you know, meditation in your everyday life, uh, email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com.

And if you're a professional, I mean, if you're documented with, you know, any kind of international group, even if you're one of the frog people, You know, email me. Let me know. We'll talk to you. I'd love to talk to you. I want to find out more about it. Because, I mean, that ringing in my ears and that someone thinking about me and thinking of them and having it out there, you know.

Right? Right. All right. Get out of here. I don't know.
