Starting point is 00:00:00 Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Brushes too.
Starting point is 00:00:19 And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshalls. We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. Blaze Radio Network And now
Starting point is 00:00:33 Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher It is official. We talked a month or so ago about Guinness World Records looking into the oldest dog title because there was a dispute over the dog's real age. And it's official now,
Starting point is 00:00:55 Guinness, who's been busy lately. They first denied the iPhone tower guy and now they said nope okay you get one well now they had given the oldest canine dog the record and now they said oh no yep nope we looked into it and
Starting point is 00:01:13 no Bobby from Portugal the breed typically lives around 12 to 14 years but when Bobby and it could be Bobi B-O-B-I was awarded the award it was claimed that he was 30 years old Now, Bobby Bobi died in October of 2023 at a reported age of 31 years and 165 days,
Starting point is 00:01:39 but Guinness World Records launched an investigation into the evidence used to prove the title last month. And they are now left with no conclusive evidence, which can definitely prove Bobby Bobi's date of birth. So without any conclusive evidence available to us right now, we simply can't retain Bobby Bobi as the record holder. Now the owner of Bobby Bobby has not commented on the records removal
Starting point is 00:02:10 he had previously said that suspicions over the veracity of the dog's age were unfounded. Oh, okay. Even though doctors have said there's no way that this dog lived that long. And so the oldest dog ever was Australia's
Starting point is 00:02:27 Bluey, who died in 1939 at the age of 29 years and five months. So Bluey still has the record, and Bobby Bowie is out. Welcome. It's official. That's what they said. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. All right.
Starting point is 00:02:53 I see where a Lego piece sold from Goodwill for more than $18,000 at an auction. Now, it was given to Goodwill. See, I've talked about Goodwill before. And, you know, they used to be they'd just put, you know, get items in. They put it on the shelf. And if it was worth something, you know, you're fortunate enough to buy it at a Goodwill price. And then you can go off and sell it. Not any longer.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Goodwill, if they know they've got something good, no. They want to charge more money for it. So this incredibly rare gold Lego Beonical mask surfaced at Goodwill in the U.S. now they've auctioned it off twice now the first auction sold the 14 carat solid gold Lego piece for $33,000
Starting point is 00:03:42 but the mystery bidder never showed up and to pay the prize so now they auctioned off again and the winning auctioned price was $18,101. We hope that that person shows up to purchase
Starting point is 00:04:00 just the gold Lego piece. Oh, okay. It's, I don't know, they found it, somebody sent it to goodwill. It was in a box of random jewelry and employees realized they had a gem on their hands when a collector repeatedly called up to buy it for $100. I find that hard to believe. So they didn't even put it on the shelf, a collector called and said, hey, I heard you guys got a gold Lego. piece, I'll give you a hundred bucks. No way. No way. That did not happen. Someone at Goodwill said, hey,
Starting point is 00:04:38 this is a gold piece of a Lego, a gold Lego piece, and we need to sell it. So they had 20 bids in the first auction, went up from 6,000 to 33,000. And this time around, they had 48
Starting point is 00:04:54 different bids on the gold collectible, and it went up to 18,000. So we'll see if someone picks it up or not. But how about that? I mean, pretty sweet. Pretty sweet. Now, I usually would say that's pretty sweet.
Starting point is 00:05:11 They found it at a goodwill, paid $100 for it, and now it's worth 18 or $20,000. But Goodwill auctioned it off. So I don't know that I'm for the Goodwill stores auctioning it off, but it's for a good cause. Am I right? Of course. I am. So there's no way that Goodwill is letting pieces of art go for a goodwill price in today's world.
Starting point is 00:05:42 No way. You've got to hope that someone at Goodwill doesn't realize that the object is worth a lot of money. Then you're able to get it at a Goodwill price and sell it yourself instead of Goodwill. But hey, goodwill got the money. So good for goodwill. So I see that according to this and according to experts, Americans are choosing to remain in a living situation with their exes amidst the ongoing housing crisis. Huh.
Starting point is 00:06:19 So you break up with your man or woman. And because of the, you know, the three Fs, finances, familiarity, and fear, you decide, hey, you know, maybe we should just still live together. We should cohabitate. Oh, okay. Sure. So I guess, according to some experts, that conversations with divorcing couples, couples who have said that we're weighing options and looking to time the market.
Starting point is 00:07:03 In the meantime, we're just going to continue to live together. Oh, okay. Look, we just can't sell. The housing market is bad. And sure, we'd like to break up. And sure, you know, the house is mine and then we want the other spouse to get out. I mean, the old joke of We got a divorce
Starting point is 00:07:30 And we split the property The wife got the house And I got the outside of the house Something like that I can't remember how that old joke goes So if that's true If that's true email me Chewing the fat at the blaze.com
Starting point is 00:07:46 I want to know if you would do that If you could do that Now I get And you say wow There's couples have been living together. I haven't been in love with each other for years, Jeff. I know. But after you've decided to break up, would you do that with just a boyfriend or a girlfriend, someone that you weren't married with? But you were, you know, let's say you were in love. And you found a perfect
Starting point is 00:08:12 place to live. It was so, it's a beautiful townhouse and we bought it and we're just going to be all hours. And then we decided that, well, you know what, I don't love you. In fact, I'm sick of you. I'm sick of you. I'm sick of your dirty dishes. I'm sick of your dirty laundry. And I'm most definitely sick of this place. But we can't afford anything else.
Starting point is 00:08:34 So I am not going to be your girlfriend or boyfriend anymore, but we're still going to live here because we can't live anywhere else. So you keep your dirty dishes and your dirty laundry on your half of the sink. And my half will be clean just like always. You think that's actually happening? I mean, that's a tough, tough way to live. Man, that is a tough way to live. So I know, you know, you want to be shacked up with your former lovers.
Starting point is 00:09:04 But I don't know. The pages on Reddit are just pages where renters and homeowners have asked whether they should remain in their current living situation. Oh, okay. but that's what I want. I want someone from Reddit to let me know whether I should be involved in this in my current
Starting point is 00:09:29 my current situation. Please help me. Ugh. I will say that if you have decided okay enough, I know we've been living together and we're divorced. We've been divorced for a while now
Starting point is 00:09:47 and we've been living together because we can't get rid of this place. But you know what? We absolutely positively need to, well, you know, buy or sell a home. Well, you need to use real estate agent'sitrust.com. Duh. That's what needs to happen. Because let's face it, sometimes you just got a.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Am I right? You just got to. And that's where real estate agents I trust is on your side. Now, this is a company founded by Glenn Beck, And he started it a long time ago because he was tired of dealing with incompetent real estate agents. And he tried to sell his home in Connecticut for, I don't know, a hundred years. And it never sold. And it ended up selling for, you know, barely nothing just to get rid of it.
Starting point is 00:10:34 And he was sick of dealing with incompetent real estate agents. So he figured, hey, you know, other people might be as well. So, you know, buying and selling a home sucks. And it's a lot of work. It can be confusing, and you don't want to be making a lot of mistakes, especially in this economy. So the agents that they work with are the best in your area. They're the top sellers. They know the lay of the land, the best practices to get you and your ex or your family
Starting point is 00:11:03 where you need to go at a decent price. Most of these agents are fans of the show, so you can tell them, hey, you know, I listen to chewing the fat, even though I got to let the spouse go because I'm sick of the man so you got to find me a place so do yourself and your family or ex-family a favor and check out real estate agents i trust dot com real estate agents i trust dot com i mean seriously even if you're in a bad place with your ex uh real the name of real estate agents i trust means you can at least trust somebody even if you can't trust them real estate agents i trust dot com Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

Starting point is 00:12:24 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly concerned by your gambling or that if someone close you, call 1-8665-3-3-2-60 or visit comex Ontario.ca. news, I guess, coming from Scripps research scientists, they have developed an antibody that can block the effects of lethal toxins in the venom of a wide variety of snakes found throughout Africa, Asia, and Australia. So the antibody, which protected mice from the normally deadly venom of snakes, including black mambas and king cobras. And how many times? How many times if you run across, you're out for a walk and oh my gosh, there's a black mamba or a king cobra. You don't want that.
Starting point is 00:13:08 You don't. So you want to have an antitoxin. And this is coming from the science translational medicine, which I'm a huge fan of their work, science transitional medicine. The new research used to forms of the toxins produced in the laboratory to screen billions of different human antibodies and identify one that, could block the toxins activity. Wow.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Now, this doesn't block all snake bites, but it does, it will be effective against the venom of many snakes. Do you know that more than 100,000 people a year? Now, again, mostly in Asia and Africa, not really when you're out, you know, taking a walk through Dallas, Texas. But it's possible.
Starting point is 00:14:00 It is possible. possible. I know. Don't look at me like that. I got it. A hundred thousand people a year die from snake bite invening, rendering it more deadly than the most neglected tropical diseases. Current anti-venoms are produced by immunizing animals with snake venom and each generally only works against a single snake species. This means that many different antivenoms must be manufactured to treat snake bites. Yeah, different regions. Duh. So, So now we're going to have the anti-bound. Now I'm going to break this down for you.
Starting point is 00:14:35 I don't know if you, you know, they want to discover an antibody to block the 3FTX. The researchers created an innovative platform that puts the genes of 16 different 3FTX into mammalian cells, which then produced the toxins in the lab. The team turned the library of more than 50 billion different human antibodies and tested which ones bound into the 3-Embodies. and tested which ones bound into the 3 FTCS protein from the many banded crate. Also known
Starting point is 00:15:05 as the Chinese crate or Taiwanese crate, I didn't have to tell you that. I mean, you know that. That narrowed their search down to about 3,800 antibodies. Then they tested those antibodies to see which also recognized four other 3 FTX
Starting point is 00:15:22 variants. And among the 30 antibodies identified in that screen, one stood out as having the strongest interactions across all the toxin variants, an antibody called 95 mat 5. So we got that going for us, man. Good work. Good work from the Scripps Research Scientists. And I'm happy that it was reported in the science transitional medicine for having to know
Starting point is 00:15:50 that we can be safe with 95 mat five. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink desperately. Be sure to follow me on all the social media sites on X at Jeffie JFR. Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. And you can follow me on my YouTube page Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You can always email the show Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. And you can order a cameo from me at Jeffie JFR on the Cameo app.
Starting point is 00:16:25 I believe it's Jeff Fisher on the Cameo website. That's not free, but you know, you just order it on Cameo and tell me what you want me to be happy glad sad mad mean I'm going to wish somebody good riddance or do you want me to tell your ex hey I know we've been living together but it's time for you to get out I'd be happy to do that
Starting point is 00:16:47 you can order that on cameo at Jeffie JFR now I see where True Detective on HBO I'm sorry Max Night Country which I haven't watched the final episode yet I know the final episode dropped on Sunday and I haven't gotten around to watching it yet. But it's been okay.
Starting point is 00:17:07 I've just been okay with Jody Foster. But I saw that it's the most, it's concluded now, and it's the most watched season of the HBO crime anthology. It drew 3.2 million viewers for the finale and averaging 12.7 million across platforms. That's incredible. The show was not that good. But okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:31 I mean, it was true detective. It was Jody Foster, and it's up there in Alaska, some made-up fictional town. And so I don't know what, you know, if you've been watching it and you haven't seen it or you haven't watched it, I don't know what is, you know, causing the problems yet. Exactly. I have a good idea.
Starting point is 00:17:49 But it's when it's the, I love the idea. I actually do love the idea of it's when the area in Alaska goes night for 24-7, goes dark for 24-7. seven. So each episode is like, day seven of the night. Day eight of the night. And I like that. I like that. So and Jody, you know, Jody's okay. They went out of their way to make sure that Jody had a, a, a, how do I want to put it? A relationship that wasn't gay. All right. She had a, She had a man in her life, which you know in real life that's not happening.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Anyway, so I can't wait to see that. And I see, we have to talk about Walking Dead is back for the ones that live with Rick and Michaud. That starts up this weekend, which means that talking Walking Dead with myself, Jason Buttrell and my son Maximus, will be back on Monday. Excited about that. They better not let me down. They better not let me down with this. Darrell was great. Dead City with Negan was great.
Starting point is 00:19:03 And I feel I just have this I have this gut feeling that the ones who live with Rick and Michone is too late. It's too late. And we're going to try to bring back what is lost. You can quote me on this.
Starting point is 00:19:18 You can never bring back what's lost. You can't. You can try. But it's never quite right. But we have that to look forward to the ones who live Walking Dead, Rick and Michaud and Talking Walking Dead on Monday with myself, Jason Butchral, and Maximus Fisher. Now, we have to talk about the big show, okay?
Starting point is 00:19:41 NCIS. Now, I've been a fan of NCIS for a long, long time, and Gibbs is the man. I love Mark Harmon as Gibbs. And I'm a fan of Mark Harmon, no question. but and he left a couple years ago he was in trouble with the FBI and so he stayed in Alaska he had a case up in Alaska
Starting point is 00:20:04 and then so he stayed in Alaska so we haven't seen Gibbs he's still like listed as an executive producer of the show I think I see his name I mean he's still part of the show we still mention Gibbs he's a big part of the show he's the guy that was the glue of the show
Starting point is 00:20:20 they went through several detectives all this stuff but it was Gibbs he was the man. Well, it was also Duckie. And Duckie died in real life last year. So the new season, season 21, started a couple weeks ago. And
Starting point is 00:20:37 we were wondering what was going to happen with, you know, Duckie being gone. And so episode two is about Duckie's death. Season 21 of NCIS, by the way, is about Duckie's death.
Starting point is 00:20:53 The stories we leave behind is the title of the episode. They ended episode one with the phone call coming in, and you knew that it was about Ducky being dead, right? I mean, you knew that because, what's his face? Ducky, David McAllen died. And so they have to pay some kind of trip, because he was a big part of the show.
Starting point is 00:21:16 He was, you know, he was one of, it was Gibbs friend. And so I thought for sure that we were going to get a Gibbs, showing on NCIS. I mean, you can't do a funeral for a Ducky on NCIS without having Mark Harmon Gibbs show up to the funeral. He's still talked about on the show. He's still the show. He's still the guy on the show, NCIS. NCIS wouldn't be NCIS without Mark Harmon, period.
Starting point is 00:21:49 I mean, sure you got McGee and Sean Murray. been on the show forever. You know, they brought in Gary Cole, who does a great job. I'm not opposed to Gary Cole as, you know, he replaced the Gibbs job. I got it. They still have, what's his face,
Starting point is 00:22:08 Rocky Carroll's been there forever as the NCIS director. And the other, you know, Wilmer Veldarama, Nick Torres, he's been on the show for quite some time. And Katrina Law, Jessica Knight, she's been out there. And so is, Brian Deetson, Jimmy Palmer
Starting point is 00:22:26 you know, Ducky's understudy there. He's been there forever. I got it. All these characters are great. But it would be NCIS without Gibbs. So he's got to come back to the funeral. He has to, right? This is going to be a spoiler alert if you haven't seen the episode.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Because it comes on, I think it's on Mondays. I recorded it. I waited. My wife was out of town. I waited for her to come home, so we watched it yesterday. All we got is a couple of pictures of Ducky, I mean of Gibbs. A couple of pictures of Gibbs. He didn't come back for the funeral. What kind of deal is CBS trying to pull? Or Mark Harmon.
Starting point is 00:23:08 What is happening? They did bring back Michael Weatherly, who played Anthony DeNozo for years on the show. It was great to see him. And he did his whole thing. He came in and he tied the tie of what's his, face Jimmy Palmer, the doc, and he mentioned his father, who was played by Robert Wagner in the show, which was awesome, which was great. It was good to see Anthony DeNoso, Michael Weatherly. I mean, he still does a CBS show, so it's not a big stretch. But Harmon didn't show up, and I cannot believe
Starting point is 00:23:43 they allowed that to happen. I can't believe it. I can't believe they allowed it to happen. It's unbelievable to me. So then I waited. I waited to see if, Gibbs was going to show up and he didn't, and it really, really irked me. So I started reading about it, trying to find out what was going on and why Mark Harmon didn't come back for the show. And I know he's already confirmed he's going to make a return to NCIS universe with a brand-new spinoff, NCIS Origins, which is going to be Gibbs' early days. So it's not even going to be him.
Starting point is 00:24:22 because, you know, I mean, they can only do so much to make you younger. They've got a couple characters that they used to play Gibbs' early years when they did flashbacks. They have that. But he didn't come back for Ducky's funeral. That is almost unforgivable. I should have done who died today, NCIS, dead to me. Because it's almost unforgivable that he didn't come back. Now, according to this story on Screen Rant, it says,
Starting point is 00:24:52 here, Harmon claimed that nobody reached out to him for a potential return. That is unbelievable. So Harmon can blame CBS and CBS could blame Harmon. I thought he was still one of the executive producers. Was the cell service down? Did they reach out too late? Was it over? That is unforgivable.
Starting point is 00:25:17 It's unforgivable that nobody reached out. So even Harmon, knowing that McAllum died in real life, doesn't call and say, hey, I'm sure you're probably going to do a show about Ducky Dying. I'll be a part of it. Even if you come back, get out of the car, you see him getting out of the car at the grave site. Or he's at the back of the church at the funeral. Or you just see it. He's got to show up other than pictures. It's unforgivable.
Starting point is 00:25:48 unforgivable. I mean, NCI, it's almost dead to me. I didn't delete it from being recorded on my DVR system, but I should have.
Starting point is 00:25:59 And to be clear, I mean, the episode itself was good. It was a really good episode and it paid a great tribute to McCallum and, you know, slash ducky.
Starting point is 00:26:11 And, you know, I did enjoy the, I did enjoy the episode. And I may have welled up, you know, a couple of times. Okay. Okay, that's just the way it is.
Starting point is 00:26:21 But it doesn't change the fact that Gibbs should have returned. Also, this weekend, another thing that's going on is the Florida Man Games in St. Augustine, Florida. We talked to Peter Melfy right when he first set this up, and now it's actually happening in St. Augustine, one of my favorite cities in America. One of the oldest cities in America, too, Jeff. Yeah, I know. So you have the Florida Man Games. You got to eat the butt challenge. You have the weaponized pool noodle mud duel, evading arrest obstacle course, the cash grab, a catalytic converter,
Starting point is 00:26:59 a race against time, two bikes and a handful of copper pipes, a race against time. Florida sumo ruffling, it's going to be awesome. It'll be a lot of fun to be there. So if you're in San Antonio or the surrounding areas, you have an opportunity to go to the Florida Man Games. It's going to be the athletic showdown on earth. It would be fun. It would be fun to watch these games and see it happen. The Florida Man Games, though.
Starting point is 00:27:26 So I'm hoping maybe if something big happens, the Florida Man Games will talk to Peter and find out how everything went next week and see what's going to change for next year or if we're staying with the same Florida Man Games. But I am looking forward to it. 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.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Conditions apply. Okay, this is from Support the Change on TikTok. I don't know who this person is, but it's her saying it, not me. Okay? Her saying it, not me. 150 years ago, you didn't have to ask permission from the government to go fishing, own a property, build on your property, renovate your home, use a transportation vehicle, start a business, get married, own a weapon, hunt, cut hair, sell a product, protest, grow your own food, sell that food that you grow on your own property, or even just set up a lemonade stand. And now you virtually can't do anything without asking for the government's permission first. So if you still think your free, you're deluding yourself. Hate to break it to you, but you're a free-range human in a tax.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Oh, they cut off the video. I don't know why they do that. The video got cut off from the TikTok video on X. But her last line is, if you still think you're free, you're diluting yourself. You're a free-range human in a tax farm. That is awesome. Some would say she is, I don't know, what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah, 100% right.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Just incredible. So I love the idea that you're a free range human in a tax farm. But I got a chance to win the lotto. What are we talking about? I mean, Mega Millions is tonight the 23rd of February, 2024. If you're listening live, that's today. That's $525 million with a $247.1 cash payout. I mean, hello.
Starting point is 00:30:09 And if I don't get that, I can win the powerball tomorrow, which is $376 million jackpot, $177.5 cash payout. So I don't know what she's talking about. I still have hope. Man, I mean, I get that you're a little upset that you, you know, used to be able to go fishing, own property, build on your own property, start a business.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I get that you're a little upset about that. But, you know, thinking that you're just a free range human in a tax farm, come on now. Come on. So who died today? Who died today?
Starting point is 00:30:50 Zachary Nizario at 15. Very sad. How did he die? Well, he was subway surfing. and because the mom can't believe that her son would do such a thing, she wants to blame social media and the MTA for failing her son. She is filing a lawsuit or has filed a lawsuit against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, TikTok, and Instagram, well, the meta.
Starting point is 00:31:23 And suggesting that they had a hand in her son's untimely. demise. So it's their fault that he was subway surfing. Okay. So a low beam struck Missouri in the head while he was traversing the Williamsburg Bridge atop a train in February of 2023 a year ago. Fell onto the tracks below and was run over. Very sad. It's horrible. So this illegal practice, we're seeing videos all the time. This is where she thinks that it's Meta's fault, that it's TikTok's fault, that it's the the MTA's fault for allowing it to happen, not closing their door or not locking the doors,
Starting point is 00:32:03 whatever she claims they're supposed to do. Now, the MTA has documented over 450 instances of subway surfing, and there already have been multiple deaths connected to the subway surfing attempts. So they believe that, you know, we're seeing all these people do this just because they want the clicks. They want a social media. I will say the videos that I saw, The one video I saw showed multiple people up on top of the subway surfing.
Starting point is 00:32:33 They didn't have phones in their hands. They weren't filming themselves. They were subway surfing for the fun of it. And we know it's all dangerous. And nobody thinks they're going to get hurt. I mean, my father-in-law tells a story about a friend of theirs. When he was a little kid in Philadelphia, they used to jump off the bridge into the coal cars,
Starting point is 00:32:54 into the trains as they would come into the train station. And that's what they were doing as kids. And one of his friends missed the coal and fell in between two of the cars and got his legs cut off. I know, I know. I know it's graphic, but I'm sorry, that's what happened. It's going on for years.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Kids are dumb. They do dumb things. Maybe you tell your kids, don't do dumb things. Now, you hope that they don't do dumb things. Now, you hope that they don't do dumb things and sometimes they do, and sometimes they do dumb things and it costs them dearly. That's what you, the parent, are there for to say, hey, you know, subway surfing kills just a thought. Maybe you and your friends ought to think twice before you do that. But, according to Norman
Starting point is 00:33:46 and Azario, MTA failed to provide adequate barriers to preclude use from climbing on its trains. Oh, okay. They created a serious and foreseeable risk of harm. The suit also faults the system for apparently not locking train doors. Okay. So when the train crashed and the people couldn't get out because the doors were locked, that would be another lawsuit, I know. If there was a fire, no, give me.
Starting point is 00:34:18 According to the suit, TikTok and Instagram are liable under state laws prohibiting the unreasonably dangerous design of products, having allegedly targeted, goaded, and encouraged Zachary to Subway Surf. Wait, what? She claims that this took form of a video recommendation to Zachary about subway surfing, the Subway Surfing Challenge prior to his fatal Subway Surfing attempt. So it's their fault that he saw. video of someone subway surfing and then took the challenge and died.
Starting point is 00:34:58 So, rest in peace, Zachary Nazario, dead, subway surfing at the age of 15. Now, she's not dead yet, but I see where Wendy Williams has been diagnosed with aphasia and dementia. Wow, that's the same disorder that Bruce Willis has. Is it catching? I mean, there's something in the air? Are we, is it said there anything in common? No, it's not because of that. Stop it.
Starting point is 00:35:32 It wasn't because of that. Don't look at me like that. So I guess we found out this week because Wendy's care team, who blasts out a press release with what they characterize as a very personal update, which they say is an effort to bat down rumors and speculation about her health. Yeah, we're sick about those rumors. Okay, she's got aphasia and dementia. Leave us alone.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Her team says everyone already knows she struggles with Graves disease and lymphedema. Wow, I mean, Wendy, what's happening, man. Everything's falling apart. Believe me, I know. They say others started to wonder what was going on in the moments when Wendy would lose her train of thought or act erratically. And now they say it's because of. of this condition. In 2023, after undergoing
Starting point is 00:36:26 a battery of medical tests, Wendy was officially diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia or FTD. I don't want FTT. I don't want FTT.
Starting point is 00:36:40 I don't want anybody to have FTT. I don't want, especially don't want Bruce Willis to have FD. I mean, he's just living with his family now. And so I guess receiving a diagnosis has enabled Wendy to receive the medical care she requires. So let's hope that's the case.
Starting point is 00:36:59 And you know what? Maybe they'll find a cure and it'll be okay. And, you know, I don't want Wendy to have it. Most definitely don't want Bruce Willis to have us. And I don't want anyone to have primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. I mean, I know you call it FTT, but I'm just calling it frontal temporal dementia. And then we find out that
Starting point is 00:37:25 the story was reported as Karen Audet 82, retired elementary school teacher, spellbound by a virtual trip to Paris, really liked wearing a VR headset. Did you?
Starting point is 00:37:41 Did you, Karen? Well, yes, a large majority of seniors in the retirement communities who donned the technology. I guess there's a new study, from Stanford that shows researchers saying that VR boosted the research participants' moods and improved their interactions with staff,
Starting point is 00:38:03 along with helping to spur memories in those with dementia. Okay, well, let's strap on some headsets on Wendy Williams, strap on some headsets on Bruce Willis, and everything will be fine. This is, this is, okay, So the nursing homes are just going to strap on these VR headsets. I love this. They improved their interactions with staff.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Yeah, because they had the headset on, and that's all they cared about. They weren't worried about their meds. They weren't worried about food. They weren't worried about pooping their pants. They weren't worried about none of it. They were just sitting in their chair with their VR headset on. That is a good expense at a nursing home. Just strap that thing on.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Well, that's a good idea. Good advice with no matter where you at. Just strap that thing on and leave him alone. I'm talking about a VR headset. What were you talking about? Holy cow. So I guess that's good. You know, fine.
Starting point is 00:39:06 If it helps, it helps. If it's going to help with dementia, great. I don't want anybody to have dementia, period. But if we're just strapping it on the old folks at the nursing home, just because it, improves their interactions with staff. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:39:26 That doesn't necessarily bode well for that virtual trip to Paris. Oh yeah, it was beautiful. It was just like I was there. I spent the day there. Did you? Did you spend the day there? This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.
