And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. How is it that I didn't get an invite to FatCon? Huh? How? So the first ever FatCon hosted at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is happening this October. It's a fat-focused convention. How did I not get an invitation?

I should be a speaker. Something. What is happening? I mean, I guess they're going to have, you know, body positivity and body neutrality classes. I could be a part of that, you know, if they asked. Why is I did get an invite? I mean, I could go, but I should be part of it. The convention will include fat-centric fitness classes, such as curves and stilettos.

and it's a class that claims true self-expression by challenging the status quo. Additionally, attendees can take part in a twerklesque. Get it? Burlesque? Twork-Lesk? A class focused on celebrating jiggles, roles, and culture. The stripping is inspired class

is hosted by, burlesque instructor. Uh-huh. Okay. Thank you. Panels are going to be set up where we can discuss topics such as, I say we, not we, because I wasn't invited. Panels will be set up to discuss topics such as fat fashion, social media influencing, and how to navigate fat phobia. The phrase, body positivity has become bogged down with relating to body image.

Yeah. What people in larger, bodies need is to step away from constantly talking about body image because that can be very triggering. I know kidding, especially for folks who have disabilities like chronic illnesses who have been dieting on and off all their lives and developed eating disorders because of it. Right. The idea for the convention spawned out of what was decried as the largest plus size clothing swap in Philadelphia. I'm for that. I'm a fan.

I'm a fan of fat guy clothes. Other draws include fat sex therapist named Sonali Roshawar. I'm sorry, they he, Sonali Rachawar. They are a super fat

queer, bisexual, non-binary therapist and co-founder of Radical Therapy Center, specialized in treating sexual trauma. diet trauma, racial or immigrant trauma, and a South Asian family abuse while offering fat positive sexual health care.

Okay. Okay. Is everything a trauma? So you've got specialized treatment for sexual trauma, diet trauma, racial and immigrant trauma, South Asian family abuse, while offering fat, positive, sexual, health care. Yeah, that sounds like fat positive sexual

health care, doesn't it? Okay. So, organizers have invited fat Philadelphians. They didn't invite me. I didn't get invited. Chewing the fat. Jeff Fisher, I didn't get invited to FatCon.

Do they want to attend so you connect with other people that look like you? Yeah, hang out with a bunch of fat people. Hello. I am so hurt that I did not get a special invitation as some kind of speaker at FatCon. Very, very sad. I'm bummed. I mean, will we talk about some of the things that come out of FatCon?

Maybe. Maybe I won't. Maybe this is chewing the fat trauma. I don't know. Now, according to Philly FatCon Instagram page, you're going to be able to have a dancer who just received her master's in fine arts and dance and be teaching the curves and stilettos class.

You're going to have an award-winning burlesque performer and instructor who's going to be teaching you the twerklesque class. You're going to have a board certified music therapist and a licensed professional counselor who will be hosting the sound bath class. Oh man. You're going to need some big tubs.

And you're going to have the Marma therapy practitioner and certified yoga teacher who will be leading the yoga class. And you will have a certified group fitness instructor from New York City who will be teaching the, I don't know why that's a big deal, but it's hailing from NYC, who will be teaching the free the jiggle class. Boy, does that. Now, each and every one of our movement instructors are trained in CPR. Yeah, you might need it. and have experience working with folks in large bodies.

Their classes will be beginner level so anyone can join. So, how come I'm not there? I still, I want to be part of FatCon. Even if it's just, you know, fat guy clothing talk, how to get the best deals at, at thrift stores. Look for, there's no special fat guy clothes. But there are, you just got to be extra diligent at the, the thrift stores. I'm really bummed that Chewing the Fat

was not, did not have a specific invite to Fat Con. I know, I'm sad. Welcome. I guess, I guess. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the fat. I don't know if this person is going to Fat Con, but the story says my butt is so big, it breaks toilet seats. It will knock anything out of its way. So the woman who goes by Mango and posts, at her royal highness, not her royal fat butness, uploads clips detailing her difficulties of navigating life with a bodacious backdoor. I'm sorry, it says bum here.

Why isn't she going to Fat Gun? She might be. She might be holding a class on how to navigate life with that big old butt. So her royal heart. highness is proud of all the toilet seats that she breaks. Now you can go to some of those some of the shows, some of the, you know, the events they have. You know, the home shows. You can go to the home shows and they have the fat guy toilet seats and they have the big butt toilet seats that you can get and you can test them out there at the home shows. So maybe she needs to do that.

Her royal highness, maybe you ought to do that. But why do that when you could post on TikTok? how many toilet seats that you're breaking. I know. I know, baby. And I know that she's probably not really fat. She just has a big butt. But, you know, here's the thing. Even when you're really, really fat, you have a big butt.

So she could help out at FatCon with tips to how about not break toilet seats. That would be nice, wouldn't it? That would be nice. Now, it didn't sound like they were going to talk about this. at Fat Con, but they might. They might. I know that scientists now have shown transfusing blood of younger mice with older ones successfully extends the lifespan of the older mice by almost 10%. Wow. I mean, that's huge. So, I mean, I don't know if they're going to cover this at FatCon because, you know, if you transfuse Fat Con blood with younger Fat Con blood, do you last longer? I don't

know, we need a study. So what they've, the technique known as heterochronic paribiosis essentially ties two mice together for an extended period of time with their circulatory systems surgically connected. The main signature of aging is inability of organs and issues, or tissues, to regenerate and maintain their integrity. Younger blood has more components that assist this process. Older blood obviously has fewer. The phenomenon has been known for decades. However, this new study is the first to show the length of the transfusion increases the length of benefits and to quantify the benefits to older mice. Researchers said the results translate into eight additional years added to a subject's lifespan if you translate it to humans. I mean,

I mean, who's not doing that? If you could, you know, we want our lives to be extended, but we also want to have good years extended as well. Yeah, he's living to be 800 years old, but he hasn't moved from that spot for 8,500 years. I mean, it's just you want to have good life, right? So, I mean, that's, hello, find somebody you can,

find somebody you can drain the blood from. I'm sorry, share, share, share, share. Just transfuse the blood between both of you. Now, what's interesting to me is that, okay, so I find someone who's younger than me, which is pretty easy to do, and I run their blood through me, right? Now, does the, all the blood, do we just swap blood? Does it just run through me and back to that person and through that person and back to me? or am I just sucking the blood out of that guy, poor girl,

and or he, they, them. And then they just are dry. And we don't worry about that. We throw them, kick them to the curb. Oh, no, I know we don't kick them to the curb. Stop looking to me like that. But, I mean, there's only so much blood. I mean, do you give them new blood from other donors

and you just take their blood that's already in them? Because if you're swapping blood, I guess your blood regenerates and rejuvenates. So you're breathing new life into the old blood as well with the new blood. That's interesting because eight years, eight years, that's pretty good. And how many times? How often can I transfuse blood from the younger person? and do I gain more than eight years after so many transfusions? I guess we'll have to wait and see, won't we?

I guess we'll have to wait and see. All right, fine. All right, but you know people are already doing this. You know that. You know they're already doing that. And good for them. Good for them. I wish I could wheel up a blood donut and transfuse me.

But I haven't been able to do that as of yet. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink that isn't transfused blood desperately. Thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat. You can follow me on all the social media sites at Jeffey JFR on X. Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and Instagram. You can email the show Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. You can order a cameo from me at Jeffrey JFR.

And I'm going to tell you a little secret, okay? And I really appreciate all the people that have ordered cameos. And cameo is kind of like my pimp, and you order through them. And then I do what you ask on cameo. Okay. And they're all, you know, I don't know. They're all a couple minutes long or however long it goes. However, I'm going to use the, and it's this little inside secret that only you know.

Okay. I'm going to use the money, some of the money that I make from Cameo to pay for my blue checkmark on X because the algorithm is just, I'm dead. I'm dead in the water on X. So when you see the blue check mark, come back, know that your cameo has helped pay for that. Okay? That's the only way I can do it. And so I'm going to do that. Plus, if you're listening live today, it is the 31st of July.

2023, the final day of July, and that means tomorrow is the 1st of August, and it's also a super moon. Yes, a super moon. That means the moon's orbit is closer to Earth than usual, and it's called a supermoon. And it's going to be a huge. We have two super moons, super moons, this month in the month of August, or I'm sorry, next month, technically next month. but you have two super moons this month. And so if you're, you know, fishing for sturgeon up in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain, you got the sturgeon moon happening.

You go ahead and cut some fish. No problem. You get that. So be on the lookout for Supermoon. And then, okay, so maybe the supermoon will help, you or me, win the lottery. Mega millions tomorrow is $1.05 billion.

So you can get a billion dollars on a super moon. $527.9 million cash payout. And then tonight, on the eve of the super moon, you have the power ball drawing, which is only worth $74 million. 37.5 million.

cash payout on the Powerball. So good luck. I mean, I would take either one. I'm sure you would as well. However, I would prefer to get the Super Moon mega millions at $1.05 billion. A couple other things to celebrate today as well. It is National Avocado Day. So, yay!

Go out and have some avocado. Would you? That's great. They also announced, I think, not too long ago, about a new avocado that they created called Luna. And so that's a different taste than the Haas that we're used to. So there's got a couple different flavors that you can celebrate on National Avocado Day. Man, do you want to party now?

On National Avocado Day? I will say you might want to celebrate this, So today is also National Orgazm Day. I know. Do you need anything more? No, it's a day that celebrates sexual climax and raises awareness for issues surrounding the sexual climax. I was typically celebrated today, July 31st, for those of you listening live, 2023. I'm guessing you could go ahead and celebrate it any day.

So just, you know, I'm just saying that it's typically celebrated on July 31st. and, you know, they say it's typically celebrated in places such as the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Netherlands, Canada, and even South Africa. Nobody else, though.

Nobody else on the planet celebrates sexual orgasm, I'm sorry, National Orgasm Day. Nobody, nobody. Now then coming up on the 5th of August, we have the international female orgasm day

because nobody gives a crap. about men anymore. So today is your day. Men and women, you can celebrate together. Later on, on the fifth, no, only women. Only women. Now, you can celebrate privately. Just don't tell anyone, okay?

Shh, no one will know. Unlike Taylor Swift's concerts, you know, we talked about her 52-night, 20-city tour. That's probably going to become the highest grossing tour of all time. She just had a show in Seattle, and they had a, well, it's being called a swift quake. Ha! Get it! Apparently, she had the crowd jumping up and down and dancing that measured a 2.3 on the seismic magnitude scale.

That's pretty amazing. A swift quake in Seattle. So, I know they... You know, you talk about the beast mode and, you know, number 11, right? I mean, player number 12, the 12th man is there, it's loud there, man. You can get loud at Illumann Field. But now you're creating a swift quake at 2.3 on the old Richter scale. So I guess this Captain Aralbach checked all the data, and she had two shows there,

and they both were just as equal. Pretty, those are huge crowds, man. Good for her. I mean, Taylor Swift. I'm not a huge fan of Taylor, but she's a freaking superstar, man. Superstar. And now they want her, and I say they, okay? The labor union representing thousands of hotel housekeepers in Southern California

is asking Taylor Swift to postpone her upcoming concerts at SoFi Stadium. Right. Until, I'm sorry, until they are paid a living wage. Now, she's slated to have six straight nights at SoFi, starting the third of August, just days away. And they want her to postpone her shows until they're paid a living wage. The Local 11 published an open letter to the pop star in the Los Angeles Times. We make beds, clean bathrooms, and take care of. of every guest's need.

Your shows make our hotels a lot of money. In Los Angeles, hotels are doubling and tripling what they charge because you are coming. Oh, price gouging little. They also add junk fees on rooms, just like Ticketmaster does, but we see none of it. Except for your employment wages, you do see that. Now, hotel workers, remember we talked about how they've been staging all kinds of strikes and walkouts at some hotels. around LA and the hotels the one hotel chain said yes so we got workers to take their place

so go ahead and strike all you want we got workers to strike your place I mean we've got you know we've got actors and writers and everybody's on strike everybody wants more money and I get it everybody wants more money but are we is Taylor gonna post-bone her tour because you think you don't make enough money I think not good luck with that good luck with that.

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 1-8665-3-1-2-60 or visit comics ontario.ca. So who died today? Who died today? Remi Lucidi, a 33-year-old French daredevil. Yes, dead at the age of 30. And this is what happens. Okay, I, the daredevil, uh, remi, down for his high-rise stunt. Well, he died after falling 68 stories, uh, from a building in Hong Kong. According to Hong Kong officials, He arrived at the building around 6 p.m., told security guards he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor. An officer attempted to apprehend him after learning that this friend had no relation to him whatsoever. But by then, the daredevil had already made his way up.

Upon reaching the top of the building, officials found the hatch to the roof open. But Remy was nowhere in sight. And it was then discovered that he had fallen to his death 68 stories below. Well, he went out the way he wanted to, I guess. Remy Alucity, dead at the age of 30. And just when you thought Kanye West was dead, nope, he's not. Kanye has been reinstated after his nearly eight-month suspension from Twitter.

So I guess he has always been, and will always forever be suspended from Twitter, but he is now back on X. So good for Kanye. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome back. to X. Yay. Yeah, this article calls him Kanye West. It's now they're dead naming him. His name is yay, damn it. I'm supposed to be mad about that. Quit dead naming people. So X and Elon is, you know,

under hot water as it is. They went to take down the one corner sign and the city said, no, no, no, you don't have a, you don't have any special permit to do that. So you got to stop that. Well, now he has put that gigantic flashing X sign at the top of the building. Apparently, people are a little wound up. There's people that are unhappy, especially people near the area living there. The X is way bright, and San Francisco is like, whoa, hey,

we need to probably investigate this a little bit to see if he has permits required for design and safety reasons of that. Oh, man, San Francisco. Elon, you gotta leave San Francisco, bro. But no, he tweeted out this weekend. I'm sorry, he exed out this weekend. Many have offered rich incentives for X to move its headquarters out of San Francisco. Moreover, the city is in a doom spiral with one company after another left or leaving.

Therefore, they expect X will move too. We will not. You only know who your real friends are when the chips are down. San Francisco, beautiful San Francisco, though others forsake you, we will always be your friend. So I guess Elon is hoping that even without the permits, he could just do what he wants in the city. And soon enough, he will be able to. This is where the Pentagon is investigating what it has called a critical compromise of communications across 17 Air Force facilities by one of its engineers. So the document also details evidence of a possible breach of FBI communications by the same

employee who worked at the Arnold Air Force Base in Tennessee. Now, this administration, the Biden administration, is actively searching for malware, it believes, was secretly installed by China in systems controlling the United States power grids, water infrastructure, and more. Oh, okay. Concerned about China's ability. to attack critical U.S. infrastructure has increased in recent years. Yeah, it certainly has.

So the 2023 annual threat assessment from the Director of National Intelligence said China most certainly has the capability to disrupt key U.S. systems. The nation's top cybersecurity official, Jen Easterly, called Chinese cyber sabotage capabilities a top threat at a public forum last month. So in May, Microsoft said it uncovered evidence that Chinese-affiliated hackers installed malware in Guam, home to a significant U.S. military presence. That's great. Some estimates conclude that China had between 50 and 100,000 individuals engaged in global cyber warfare.

Oh. So do we have any specifics, you know, systems, structured, locations? No, yeah, we don't know. We just know that it's a lot. And that's it, though. Oh, okay. Well, what about that bio-weapons lab, you know, in California that people are calling it the kamikaze lab? Because the people manufacturing there had no regard for safety and we're potentially going on a suicide manufacturing the bio-weapons.

Oh, similar labs were found in Ukraine by Russia. and that's one reason why Russia attacked Ukraine. I don't know about that, but okay. So what was inside it? We don't know. We just know that it was probably gain of function research. That's it, though. Don't you worry about it at all.

Our government is on it. This administration is on top of it. China, we're fine. We're fine. Okay? I mean, we already have the AI companies voluntarily agreeing to implement safeguards on the tech's development. Oh, okay, well, that's fine.

Then they'll be fine. Amazon, Google, meta, agreed to test AI systems before their releases. Oh, okay. Alert users of content that's AI generated and research how the tech can contribute to bias and discrimination. Oh, my gosh. The White House called the company's pledges real and concrete commitments. Yeah, no kidding. I know that they don't worry about the AI.

stuff, though. I know only 61% of Americans think AI could spell the end of humanity, so don't worry about it. And, you know, there's plenty of feelings now that, well, speaking of feelings, there's plenty of feelings now that AI could have feelings. So, that's great.

And at this at the same time, that, you know, we're heading toward this AI revolution heading toward, we may already actually be in it. We're worried, we're considering that our military and our infrastructure has been hacked by our biggest

competitor or, I don't know, enemy, or at least certainly one of them. I know they are our friends. I know they are our friends. Right. And at the same time, our president is on vacation, again, only about 40% of his presidency has been spent on vacation.

That's it, though. Jeff, he works 24-7, even if he's on vacation. Okay, sure. You believe that. You go ahead. And at the same time, that is all happening. We have a comet the size of a city, according to spacers, that has now grown horns because of a massive volcanic eruption.

So the exploding comet, known as 12P slash ponds-brooks, is currently approaching its closest point to Earth during its 71-year orbit through the solar system. That's it, though. The unusual volcanic comet flying toward the sun appears to have grown horns after it exploded, causing it to shine like a small star and shower super cold magma into space. And it's the first time this comet has been seen erupting in almost 70 years. The comet, I already told you, named it 12 p slash pomper. dash Brooks 12p is the cryo volcanic or cold volcano comet so it's fine just passing by though

the cryomagma and all that stuff that's in it don't worry about it okay sure they detected this major outburst from the comet but it's fine like I said earlier everything is fine okay so stop thinking it's not we're all fine fine. 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.

So I said we're all fine, and I absolutely kind of meet it. But with the military takeover of the West African country of Niger last week, oh, what, there was an actual coup? You mean someone actually took over the government? Yeah, it is now with that, okay, now that the military has taken over Niger, that has created a belt of six African countries where military jaunches are now in charge of the government. Nothing to worry about those.

Shut up, okay? The 3,500 mile stretch is the longest such chain on earth, okay? This band of military-led countries encompasses a region known as the Sahel, the S-A-H-E-L, that has leapfrogged South Asia and the Middle East as the global epicenter for jihadist violence as the hotbed of instability and insurgency. The area has been the site of geopolitical strategy by the West and Russia for influence. He had no kidding. The U.S. has spent $110 million on a drone base in northern Niger for counterterrorism

operations in the Sahel. Russia, meanwhile, exerts its pull in the area through the Wagner mercenaries and their leader. Supporters of Niger's military takeover were seen waving Russian flags and chanting Vladimir Putin's name yesterday. So why don't you just

shut up? Okay? So Niger's neighbors are hoping to stop the coup in its tracks. Good luck with that. The powerful economic community of Western African states threatened to cut off commercial and financial transactions with Niger and approved using force to restore order in the country's democratically elected president if, I'm sorry, they were going to use force if the country's democratically elected president isn't reinstated within a week.

Yay! So don't worry about it. Everything's fine. Like I said, everything's fine. Oh, sure. Did I mention in Niger that thousands of protesters attacked the French embassy and the country's capital. Yeah, the attack just came after the coup because the French embassy, you know, they were the country's lasting colonial influences on Niger. So the people are still pissed

at France for that. So why don't you just take your embassy and go home? Okay. Oh, did I mention in Pakistan that, you know, a bunch of people were killed there too and injured and then a bomb exploded at a political rally? Yeah, that's it. Now, they claim that it was carried out by an ISIS-affiliated suicide bomber. Remember when one of our leaders, you know, you know, the guy, what was his stupid name? Oh yeah, Donald Trump, he had most of these countries all kind of getting along. They weren't getting, you know, everybody was just kind of on edge with each other, but there wasn't any of this stuff going on. And he had Africa pretty much taken care of. Nope, not anymore.

Thanks to this administration, we're back to fighting in Africa. That's great. And then we have the, you know, let's not forget the Russia-Ukrainian war, which we're just dumping billions of dollars in. That's never going to end. And we're now giving, you know,

hundreds of millions, if not more, to Taiwan. So good times. We're fine, no. You know what? I don't want to make you, I don't want to make you worry. This is chewing the fat. This is chewing the fat. I know I try to stay away from stuff like this,

but it just has been driving me crazy. It really has. I just don't understand it. Oh, did I mention that the Britain military accidentally sent highly classified emails containing state secrets to a Putin ally in Africa? That's it, though. Don't worry.

I told you, everything is fine. So they, it's just a small number of emails intended for the Pentagon. And they just contain detailed descriptions of British research into hypersonic missiles. And we sent him to Molly by accident. And, you know, Molly is good friends with Vlad. So I'm sure he's got that information. So I guess the officials, this is their excuse, that they sent the messages to an address ending with the West.

African countries dotML domain rather than the U.S. militaries. Dot M.I.L. Are you kidding? This is what we've got going on. Everything is fine, though. Everything is fine. All right, I'll stop. I'll stop.

I'll get back to chewing the fat stuff, okay? You see where they showed a picture of President Obama? I don't know if it was real or not, but they had a picture of him with a black guy. I shut up with your black eye jokes and with, and it looked like bandages and tapes on his fingers. He was out golfing. This after, you know, the death of Tafari Campbell, who drowned on the pond on the Obama property, you know, paddleboarding. So there's more, we're just adding fuel to the fire that Tafari was not drowned, but that he was, you know, murdered. Now, obviously he drowned, but it was a murder, not an accident.

And so was he having an affair with Michelle or Barack? Was he having an affair with one of the daughters? I mean, that's possible too. Was he writing a book, a tell-all book that was going to, you know, do some damage to the Obamas? That's very possible. And the conspiracies continue because we have the 911 log that's blank. So we don't know, and I don't know that we've actually heard the call

so if we hear the call we might know the voice i don't know it's just crazy that this is ongoing and they could put it to an end but you know what they won't because it keeps them in the news all right i'm going to give you the joke of the day this is actually kind of a it's a joke of the day but you have to it's you need an action okay it's not just telling it you got to go do it okay i read this this weekend on one of the social media sites you know either x Jeffie JFR. Facebook is Jeff Fisher Radio. Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. And you can, oh, don't forget to follow me on YouTube to chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Okay. This is from an idea that my wife is like, you know people have done that already, right? I know. That's what

makes it so good. So this was under the title, Bored? Well, yes, yes I am. What can I do to relieve boredom well you can go to Walmart and head into a fitting room after a few minutes yell out hey there's no toilet paper in here but that is fantastic I don't want you to do anything like that don't even just laugh about it laugh about it like it like it already happened like wow what if that actually did happen I don't want you to actually do that But, you know, if you do, make sure somebody's outside recording the actions of people. That would be fantastic.
