Starting point is 00:00:00 Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea.

Starting point is 00:00:22 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 186653300 or visit Commexontera.com. Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Thanks to you, the Chewing the Fat listeners, they found him. Elvis, the ketchup boat guy, has been found. Heinz has announced they have found Elvis. And not that one, you know, the Heinz Elvis Frasois,
Starting point is 00:00:53 who was rescued in mid-January by the Colombian Navy after he survived 24 days adrift in the Caribbean on a sailboat eating ketchup packets from Heinz. He would have died if it had been hunts. That's just clear and plain and simple. But they couldn't find it. Remember, we talked about it on Friday. And thanks to you and your help, they found him. And so they're happy.
Starting point is 00:01:18 They've posted that they found Elvis. And they have reached out and they're going to find the best way to support him. and they're going to work out the logistical details and gifting him his new boat. Now, the boat better have Heinz on it. It's all I'm saying. If the boat doesn't have Heinz on it, then I'm pulling out.
Starting point is 00:01:40 I'll still be a Heinz police officer, but I'll be very disappointed. But anyway, thank you very much, listeners to Chewing the Fat, for finding Elvis Frasua, and making it possible for him to get his new Heinzsche. boat. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Now we have a new sugar replacement that's bad for you. Arethritol. Now, Aretha-Ratol. Used to add bulk to sweeten stevia, monk fruit, and keto-reduced sugar
Starting point is 00:02:21 products has been linked to blood clotting, stroke, heart attack, and death. is nothing good for us any everything in moderation told you that's my book coming out in the near future everything in moderation so according to the lead author of the study Dr. Stanley hasn
Starting point is 00:02:42 the degree of risk was not modest okay he's the director of the Center for Cardiovascular diagnostics and prevention at the Cleveland Clinic Learner Research Institute
Starting point is 00:02:56 appreciate it So people with existing risk factors for heart disease such as diabetes were twice as likely to experience a heart attack or stroke if they had the highest levels of urethral in their blood. If your blood level of urethyritol was in the top 25%, compared to the bottom 25%, you were about twofold higher risk for heart attack and stroke. Okay. I mean, it's on par, according to this doc, with the strongest of cardiac risk factors. Now, in response to the study, the calorie control council, and I am a huge fan of the calorie control council, they said the results of this study are contrary to decades of scientific research, showing reduced calorie sweeteners like erythoritol, are safe. by global regulatory permissions for their use in foods and beverages.
Starting point is 00:03:59 That's the, from the council's executive director, Robert Rankin. And I'm sure that calorie control council doesn't have anything to do with big urethoritol. I mean, so they don't get a dime from them. So the results should not be extrapolated to the general population as the participants in the intervention. were already at an increased risk for cardiovascular events. The European Association of Polyol producers,
Starting point is 00:04:30 I guess that's the same as the Calorie Control Council, but it doesn't sound the same. They declined to comment. We haven't reviewed it yet. Oh, okay. Yeah, we'll look at it later. Whatever you guys say, we're still going to put it in all your foods. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:43 So it's artificially manufactured in massive quantities with, according to their people, in big urethritol. No lingering aftertaste, doesn't spike blood sugar and has less of a laxative effect than some other sugar alcohols. Urethyritol.
Starting point is 00:05:03 It looks like sugar, tastes like sugar, you can bake with it. Okay. No problem. It's become the sweetheart of the food industry, which actually leads me down to being concerned about it. Whenever they have the sweetheart and they're just pouring this product into everything,
Starting point is 00:05:18 makes me concerned. Anyway, it's a popular additive. to the keto and other low-carb products and foods marketed to people with diabetes. Some of the diabetes-labeled foods we looked at are more urethoritol than any other item by weight. So do what you will with that news. But if you are someone who is a big believer in what the calorie control council says, don't worry about it. but if you are someone that takes quite a bit of urethoritol,
Starting point is 00:05:55 you may want to think twice about it right now because it has been linked, according to this new study, from the Center for Cardiovascular Diagnostics and Prevention at the Cleveland Clinic Learner Research Institute for blood clotting, have been linked to blood clotting, stroke, heart attack, and death. That's it, though.
Starting point is 00:06:19 So speaking of things that are, you know, not good for you, or good for you, really. So I read a story about how Americans aren't allowed to eat animal lungs. And I'm like, well, it sounds kind of yucky. I'm a fan of most meat products. You can quote me on that. I have a fan of most meat products. But we don't eat lungs. So I guess there's a professor now that says,
Starting point is 00:06:51 Why not? Let's start eating the lungs. Why are we not eating animal lungs? We can eat other animal organs. We're dissecting goats and sheep and we're studying how they cook. I mean, I used to know a guy that used to eat cow tongue, boiled cow tongue all the time. And I just never could. I know.
Starting point is 00:07:14 It sounds so good. And it looks just that much better boiling in a pan. This is cowtogs, man. It's just nasty looking. Yeah, yeah, that's what I mean. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yeah, not nasty. Oh, it's just so bad. So in 1971, the U.S. Department of Agriculture banned the sale of lungs for human consumption.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Now, they're hoping to flip that ban now. There's a petition with the USDA's food and safety and inspection. service stating that food being gross is not the same as it being unsafe. So he's not getting much traction. He's not getting much traction on his petition at all. According to this story, this petition has garnered 16 public comments. Okay, great. People are all about it.
Starting point is 00:08:11 So he says, he claims, I've never seen anyone fall ill from ingesting a lung. Oh, man. A doctor in Alaska says where the, is it Yuppick, the Yupik, Yupik, Yupac, possibly I-K cuisine, features seal, walrus, and beluga whale young. Man, when you, not whale, young, whale lung, when you think of dining out of cuisine? Yeah, I'll take some of the beluga whale one tonight, please. How fresh is it?
Starting point is 00:08:47 Doesn't that sound good? Is it fresh? Is it fresh? Of course it is. Of course it's fresh. We just put down the beluga whale just hours ago. So even if you don't want to chow down on a breathing apparatus, the lung meat ban is an interesting case study on how perceptions of ickiness and health shift. Well, yeah, nobody wants to.
Starting point is 00:09:16 wants to eat the nasty lung, right? I mean, lungs, spongy tissue, so it doesn't cook as hub gets too leathery when it's well done, so people may not cook it enough. But I will say, you know, they talk about how animals breathe in, not just microorganisms, but other things that can get trapped, you know, smoke, exhaust, as best as fiber, stuff like that. But the body cleans that out, and your body should be able to clean some of that out as well. I'm speaking on behalf of eating lungs. I mean, the lungs are the air filters of these animals.
Starting point is 00:09:53 I want to say I'm against it, but I don't know why. I don't know why. It might be good. You know, you boil up a little long and fry it up a little bit with some butter and some mushrooms. Put a little Heinz ketchup on that. Bad boy, it might be good. Now, I hadn't really thought about the, the beluga whale
Starting point is 00:10:17 lung dining cuisine because now you've got me. You've won me over with the beluga whale lung, especially if it is fresh. I mean, we consider stuff fresh from the sea if they catch it, they flash freeze it, right?
Starting point is 00:10:37 And they ship it to us. So it has to be shipped to us within, I forget how many days. and then it's still considered fresh because it's just on ice. So I don't know how fresh a beluga whale lung has to be to be as delicious as it can be. But got to be fresh in my mind. I mean, you've got to walk it from the beach.
Starting point is 00:11:02 There's a beluga whale. We pull out the lung and we throw it on a fire. That's when the beluga whale lung is at its best. I tell you, you know what, if you want, this is my thing. All right. If you want to eat lung, go ahead. Why are we stopping people from eating lungs? They can eat tongues.
Starting point is 00:11:27 They can eat hooves. We've got people cooking up cattle balls in Colorado. If you want to eat them, eat them. Eat what you want. What does it mean? What do I care if you get asbestos poisoning from a cow lung? because the cow lung was breathing asbestos. I don't.
Starting point is 00:11:45 I don't. I don't. I don't. So just make sure you cook it safely. Go ahead and eat your cattle lung. I really do want to try the beluga whale lung, though. I don't want to see it. Just serve it to me.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Don't tell me what it is. Just say, hey, I've got some meat here, and it's cooked up just the way they're supposed to be cooked. Give it a try. And then after I try it, let me know if it's the fresh beluga whale lung or the frozen beluga whale long. All right. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink.
Starting point is 00:12:24 To get something desperately cold to drink to go with that beluga whale long I'm being served. Yum. So as many of you know, I am sitting in for Pat Gray on Pat Unleashed this week. He's off running around the countryside. I think actually his daughter is getting married, so he's participating in that. I'm not sure what that's costing, but I'm sure he's digging deep in the pocket for that way of marriage.
Starting point is 00:12:57 But I will show this picture tomorrow on Pat Grey Unleashed. But I had a photo sent to me on Messenger. I think it was Kyle. Thank you for sending it to me. I think, thank you, since you said I thought this was you. But he took a picture of a sign in a car window in a parking lot that says, I'm fat, so don't park close,
Starting point is 00:13:18 have a nice day. You thought that was me? Oh, thank you, I think. I will say that the other day I walked out of this parking lot, and there was a big-ass truck parked next to me in the parking lot. And the way it was parked, our mirrors were almost side by side, so there's no way I can open my door enough to get in.
Starting point is 00:13:41 And I'm not going to crawl across, from the rider's side to the driver's seat. What am I, 10? No. I'm 150 years old. I'm not going to crawl across the front of the seat. I'm not being rescued from an avalanche. It's a parking garage or a parking lot.
Starting point is 00:13:58 I was so pissed. And so the little dent in the side of that pickup truck, sorry about it. Shouldn't have parked there. Because some of us have to open that door a little bit wider. Maybe this should be my sign, come to think of it. I'm fat. So don't park.
Starting point is 00:14:13 so close. He shouldn't be parking that close anyway, but just just saying I might have to use that sign. It wasn't me though. It wasn't my sign. Did you see Jeremy Renner? I posted on his Instagram, his rehab, and he's riding his bike, and he's getting, he's back at it.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Amazing. I mean, he suffered that New Year's Day accident on his snow removal tractor. and he was apparently, we knew some of this, but I was reading this what actually happened to him, and I don't know that I actually knew everything that happened. So he was trying to help remove his nephew's car from the driveway, all right, because it was stuck in the snow.
Starting point is 00:15:01 The snowplow began to slide down a street after the car was towed, which prompted the actor to jump out of the cab. After he exited the vehicle, Renner realized that, it could potentially hit his nephew who was with him at the time of the incident. So then he attempted to reenter the snowplow in order to divert its path, but he was pulled under its left side track and run over during the attempt. So he was crushed underneath the vehicle. Holy cow.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Now, that's a little bit different than what I had. I figured he was off of it and it started to move and he jumped. up and got sucked under either way I mean holy cow that's any time any time that you're being pulled under one of those snow tracks
Starting point is 00:15:55 I feel like that's not a good thing he's lucky to be alive and I want him to be alive because I want season three of mayor of Kingston up and running let's go Jeremy get back to work I know you're doing your little reality show you got going on as soon as you're better but let's get back to Paramount Plus
Starting point is 00:16:12 and get Mayor of Kingsdown up and running, okay? Season two is another great season. You know, I'm happy that you were done filming before this accident, but chop, chop. I mean, that's the kind of stuff that people get killed on, right? I mean, that quick thinking stupid thing of, I'll just jump back in. I hopped out and it starts to slide,
Starting point is 00:16:32 oh, crap, I'll just jump, I'll just jump back in, and then, oh, ah, and the air underneath. It's horrible, and it's just that fast. I told you about my friend, Joe LaRose in Florida. I love Joe. Rest and peace, pal. But he died, and I like to make the joke. Joe would understand.
Starting point is 00:16:50 It's me. But I like to make the joke. I mean, he died with a pallet of nutty buddies on him. All right? So he was working for an ice cream place, and he's unloading a pallet of nutty buddies. Now, all of us that have worked in the grocery business have been pulling pallets of whatever is on the palate. And it starts to tilt one way or the other.
Starting point is 00:17:13 And so you just push back on it so that it resets on that palate. So you don't have to, you know, it doesn't fall over and you don't have to pick all that crap up. But you don't think about it. You don't think about it. You don't think about it. You just push up against it and you're fine. So that's what happened with the nutty buddies with Joe. And it started to fall.
Starting point is 00:17:33 So he just goes to push up against it to level it back out. Only not so fast, Joe. The nutty buddies did not want to reset the other direction. It kept coming. And all the nutty buddies fell on him and crushed him. Really sad. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:17:49 But that's what I mean. It happened so fast of something so basic that you've done a thousand times, but you really shouldn't do it all. You know, sometimes safety protocols are there for a reason. I'm just throwing it out there. So speaking of Paramount Plus, I was looking at a list the most popular video streaming services by country. And it's kind of interesting.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Netflix has 78 countries. Showmax has 15 countries. I-Flix has four countries. Tancent Video has two countries. Disney Plus has one country. Canal Plus has 17 countries. Amazon Prime has five countries. The G03 has three countries.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Globo play has one country, Blue TV has one country Shahid has 16 countries Kino Poisk has five countries Ivy TV, three countries, watch it has one country and ViewVIU has one country. Interesting that Prime Video is North America minus Mexico, but United States and Canada and then the Netflix comes down all the way through Central America,
Starting point is 00:19:07 all the way down the west coast of South America, and it looks like Brazil has the global play, which is one country, which means that that's their streaming service. But I wonder if you can get Netflix through global play, because like Prime Video, you could get other streaming services within the Prime Video. So it's kind of fascinating that some of these countries have these different streaming services.
Starting point is 00:19:37 And the only one that really, I mean, Netflix is all over Europe. Wow, huge. Almost every country in Europe. Australia. A lot of Netflix going on. It is interesting because you can't get other streaming services through. Netflix, but I can get other streaming services through Prime. So I don't know if that's just specifically Prime video. Really, really, I'm not sure how that, how they're judging that because
Starting point is 00:20:13 I watch different streaming services through Prime. But when I watch Netflix, it's just Netflix and I have to go to another app to watch other content. So anyway, congratulations to those streaming services I mean Netflix has 78 countries Canal Plus has 17 Shaheed has 16 Show Max has 15
Starting point is 00:20:40 Amazon Prime 5 Kino Bisk 5 I Flix 4, G03 3 and the others all have one so incredible oh and you know we talked about the winners of the SAG aftra the other day
Starting point is 00:20:54 but I see where Fran Dresser who was You know, the president of SAG after. I forgot that she was the president of SAG after. She and the NFLPA together forged actors and athletes for democracy. We are the greatest influencers on the planet and must promote freedom for all. Yay. Good for Fran.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Good for Fran. I know I saw a clip of her walking the red carpet. talking about what, you know, being the president is, as, you know, so stressful. And she has to have field phone calls from Barbara Streisand. And Barbara is calling Fran up going, why am I not covered on Jim's health insurance anymore? If that's true, Babs, how about you write your own check, babe? Okay, how about, I did for years. That's why I'm a member of SAG after.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Okay, all right, fine. No problem. I see where also the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the SAG After Awards in Los Angeles, were split on combining award show categories for Best Actor and Best Actress. They wanted awards without gender categories. Yeah, everybody's all for that unless it affects me.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Because, yeah, man, we're absolutely, we need equality, and we need awards without gender. Well, I mean, we need to be actors, female actors, and male actors, because we want to have separate awards. I don't want to be up against somebody else that's a male or a female. It's unbelievable to me, these people. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too.
Starting point is 00:23:10 That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. So who died today? Who died today? Bernie Mattison. Bernie Mattison has passed away at the age of 87. Now, Bernie was a Disney animator. It was a director, producer, and story artist.
Starting point is 00:23:34 He died in California following a short illness, confirmed by the Walt Disney Company. He is the longest employer. I mean, Walt Disney Company is his longest employer. He was the longest serving Disney employee and was set to receive the first ever 70th anniversary service award this June. He didn't quite make it.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Bernie didn't quite make the L70 Award in June, but they'll probably just give it to impossimously. at the funeral and say, hey, there you go. I guess he was inspired to pursue a career in animation after seeing Pinocchio
Starting point is 00:24:18 at the age of six. So, he joined Walt Disney Company and in just six months, he finished high school, went to work at Walt Disney Company in the mailroom, and moved from the mailroom
Starting point is 00:24:35 to an animation in-betweener on Lady and the Tramp, an animation in-between her, on Lady and the Tram. There's nothing like moving ahead in life when you've become an animation in-betweener. So Bernie Mattson, after a short illness in California,
Starting point is 00:24:58 dead at the age of 87 years. Walter Mirish, who else died today? Who died today? Walter Mirsch. Oscar-winning producer, dead at 101. He died in Los Angeles, California as well. The astute and Oscar-winning film producer oversaw classics like some like it hot. West Side Story, in the heat of the night, died of natural causes.
Starting point is 00:25:29 He was 101. So he's a true visionary, both as a producer and as an industry leader. uh he served as academy president and academy governor for many years his passion for filmmaking and the academy never wavered and he remained a dear friend and advisor so walter mersh dead at 101 paris hilton no we're not in who died today she's still alive paris hilton but she did claim that she was scarred during an aggressive encounter with heart Harvey Weinstein in the year 2000. So Paris is just trying to continue her road of relevancy.
Starting point is 00:26:15 I guess nobody could find her dog. And so she's not in the news. So she's got to find something else to go in the news. And since Harvey was just found guilty in L.A. again. So she's going to jump on that bad wagon. She said that in 2020, she was in France for the film festival. And she met Weinstein when she was 19 years old. Oh, she said, I see.
Starting point is 00:26:40 She said that in 2020, she was in France at the festival, as she was talking about meeting Harvey when she was 19. I was at lunch with my girlfriend, and she came up to the table, and she was like, oh, you want to be an actress? And I said, yeah, I really want to be in a movie. And I was so impressed by him. I was like, oh, my God, Harvey Weinstein is so cool. And he said, well, we should have a meeting.
Starting point is 00:27:02 You can come up to my room and read scripts. I just didn't want to go. so I never went. However, Hilton had another chance encounter with Weinstein the next night at the Amphar, the Foundation for AIDS Research Gallup, which Weinstein was hosting. I went into the bathroom and then he followed me. He tried to open the door. He was hammering on the door, banging on it, and I wouldn't open it because I was like,
Starting point is 00:27:27 I'm in a stall. Why do you want me? Why do you want to come in here? And I just wouldn't open it. And security finally came and literally carried him away. And he was shouting, this is my party. And it just really freaked me out, said Paris. Now, she was asked if she had heard the rumors about Harvey's behavior.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Yeah, it was like just someone so powerful in Hollywood, who everyone was terrified of. I don't even want to say anything about it because I was like, well, I don't want people getting mad at me for saying anything because it was just a known thing. He was just like that and people were like, okay, just turn a blind eye. So if you believe that that actually took place. He didn't do anything. Okay, so you didn't open the door in the bathroom, so nothing happened. And you never went with him up into the hotel room
Starting point is 00:28:21 to read scripts like he wanted you to. So you're just trying to have a little brush with greatness that Harvey wanted to do me too, but I didn't go up there. But he did. He wanted to do me. He was ready to do me at the hotel and he was ready to do me at the party. But I didn't let it happen. But I was good enough for Harvey too. Okay. Thanks, Paris. Go find your dog now, baby. Boy, speaking of someone trying to continue their relevancy, Prince Harry is set to unpack his experiences with a controversial trauma expert on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:29:01 They're doing a virtual event in which attendees can submit questions to the former royal to answer. Harry's whose memoir spare atop the bestseller charts. Oh, good. We'll join Canadian doctor and author Gabor Mote for an intimate conversation to which royal fans can purchase tickets for 3399. Oh, that's great. I can buy 3399 ticket to listen to him whine about his mental. health. In an email to post media, the doc said,
Starting point is 00:29:40 I've been published in 30th language. So the conversation would be about the impact of emotional loss and the importance of personal healing. Prince Harry is very open about his mental health challenges as I have been about my own and my books. It's such a public conversation I hope will help encourage more openness around mental health. and contribute to remove the stigma around what we call mental illness. So I sure hope, and this is just me, if I'm going to spend $34.
Starting point is 00:30:13 I'm sorry, $33.99, on a ticket for this particular event. I hope that Megan just makes a quick appearance. Just zips in. Even with just a little, oh, I'm so proud of you. I love you. And you guys take care and keep working on your mental health, okay? I love you. Goodbye. I'll be gone. I've got to go take care of the kids now.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Harry, don't be too funny, baby. Okay, bye. It's going to be agonizing. This guy, man. And now they're talking about suing South Park. Good luck. Good luck if you haven't seen the South Park episode.
Starting point is 00:30:56 And apparently they haven't seen the Prince on HBO. if they thought South Park or South Park portrayed them poorly, I should watch The Prince on HBO because it makes them seem exactly the way they are, the entire family. And Gary Genetti is brilliant at that. So you should do that. If you're going to sue somebody, sue Gary.
Starting point is 00:31:30 And I'm just saying that hype I don't want you to get sued or anything. But, you know, if they're going to, if Harry and Megan are going to sue somebody for portraying them poorly, I mean, you should be on the list. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

People who experienced frequent nightmares in childhood are more likely to develop dementia and Parkinson's disease later in life. Researchers collect, don't look at me. This is the research, not me. researchers collected data from nearly 7,000 British residents over 50 years and learned that participants who had perished or had persistent bad dreams
Starting point is 00:32:56 had an 85% increased risk of developing a cognitive impairment like dementia and Alzheimer's or Parkinson's by the age of 50. So if your kid is having nightmares, make them stop. I don't know how you get them to stop, though. A study published in the Lancet's E. Clinical Medicine Journal, and I love the Lancet's E. Clinical Medicine Journal. They analyzed data from the 1958 British Birth Coord Study, which collected info on all people born in Britain during a single week in March of 1958, including whether they had nightmares at ages 7 and 11. Doctors then assess the individual's cognitive abilities at age 50. this was in 2008.
Starting point is 00:33:45 They found that 267 people, or 3.8%, within the study group, who submitted to the assessment, had developed a form of cognitive impairment or Parkinson's disease. The children who had distressing dreams at ages 7 and 11 were 76% more likely to develop a cognitive impairment and were nearly seven times more likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson's, than those who had none. Wow.
Starting point is 00:34:18 So how do you stop it, though? Well, I don't know. More research probably needs to be done on the topic to determine the link and the nightmares and what we can do about it. So being aware that bad dreams and childhood may signal higher risk of dementia and Parkinson's later in life suggests
Starting point is 00:34:37 there could be a window of opportunity to implement simple strategies to lower those risks. Yeah, like wake the kid up. Earlier studies have suggested that middle-aged and older adults who have frequent nightmares could be more than twice as likely to develop two disorders in the future. Yeah, do you don't want nightmares? Okay, whatever you're doing, you don't want nightmares. So if there's a way to stop the kid from having nightmares, you need to make that happen.
Starting point is 00:35:05 They don't say how, they don't say what you need to do, but maybe you need to wake them up, disrupt their sleep a little bit. I know humans need to sleep to recharge, but there's got to be a fine line between a nightmare and sleep and then having Parkinson's or whatever other disease that you could have some sort of dementia going on because you had the nightmares. But, you know, I'm not a doctor and I wasn't published
Starting point is 00:35:35 in the E. Lancet, but, well, it's not the E. Lancet. It's actually the Lancet's. the Lancet's e-medical medicine journal. No, the Lancet's e-clinical medicine journal. I want to give them their right. Their proper ado. The Lancet's e-clinical medicine journal. I can't get that right.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Just the Lancet, but this one is the E-clinical medicine journal. And as long as we're talking about nightmares, well, it might not be a nightmare. might be a fun mayor. The University of China has invented a unique kissing device, which has caused quite a buzz among social media users who reacted with both intrigue and shock. I doubt that there's been a lot of shock,
Starting point is 00:36:27 but there is intrigue. So this unique kissing device with silicone lips is equipped with pressure sensors and actuators, and it's said to be able to mimic a real kiss by replicating the pressure, movement, and temperature of a user's lips, apart from the kissing motion. The device can also transmit the sound the user makes. So the use of the device, the users have to simply download a mobile app and plug the device into the phone's charging port. After pairing the device with the partner on the app, they can then start a video call and transmit replicas of their kisses to each other.
Starting point is 00:37:05 So when you see it, it looks, you plug the... into your phone and it looks like I don't know what it looks like maybe a device that hooks onto your phone with fish lips coming out of it now I guess there's no tongue going on
Starting point is 00:37:25 it's just the lips thing at least yet Pornhub may develop that or have that in development as we speak but for right now this is just kissing okay so some others, you know, criticized it for vulgar and creepy,
Starting point is 00:37:43 but other people said, I don't understand it. Well, you don't understand it. There's plenty of people that have long-distance relationships in today's world. And they have, you can get bracelets that, you know, light up when you want to send your long distance. You could have, you doesn't have to be long distance. You could get a bracelet and send a little to your love. during the day just to let them know you're thinking of them and there's so many so many so many jokes with that you go ahead and write your own but just thinking of you but these these would have
Starting point is 00:38:21 to be obviously together so you pair up the app at the same time and you put on your kissing device and you each touch the lips at the same time so that you'd be able to feel the senses between the going on in the app, right? So your lips send it to that app and obviously you see how it works, but you'd be able to feel each other. And it's a really weird kind of strange-looking thing. It looks like a little thing with silicone,
Starting point is 00:38:51 silicone lips coming out of it. When you look at it, it's stairs, it looks like fish lips coming out. Fish lips coming out of it. But who knows? It may be worth your time. It may be worth your time. And one last story for today about a lady who's been viral on the interwebs for a while now.
Starting point is 00:39:20 She is posted on Facebook for buying a 1998 Ford Escort that she pays. She's paying over $200 a month for and is paying on it for the next. the next seven years. So they've highlighted how people are spending their money on outrageous things. But the 1998 Ford Escort can't be worth more than
Starting point is 00:39:45 what? Maybe $1,500, something like that, maybe. And so while she's spending $289 a month on payments, according to this, in the viral post, she's paying on it for 84 months.
Starting point is 00:39:59 That's actually a crime to charge this girl, $289 a month. for a Ford escort from 1998. If it's true, if it's true, I almost want to say this story is not true. I feel like this is just a put on. Someone is making a joke of,
Starting point is 00:40:17 hey, I just got this Ford Escort for $289 a month for 84 months. What do you think? And people are going crazy because the idea is that whatever she's doing, do the exact opposite. So I feel like, you know what, this story isn't even real. Now that I read it out loud,
Starting point is 00:40:40 it's a viral post on the internet and said, you know, the original one was on Facebook, and it's not real. There's no way that someone would be allowed to purchase a Ford Escort from 1998 for $289 a month and $84 months. It's not true.
