And now
Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher
Congratulations to Ford.
They have just patented
the first self-driving
car that repossesses itself
while they've patented the technology.
That's nice of them.
So if you miss a payment,
it's going to drive itself back to the old car lot.
I would think
that could already happen, but apparently not.
Now, the newly awarded patent describes a car self-driving back to the showroom or a scrapyard
if the owner does not answer messages about their delinquent account.
Yes, yes, that's correct.
You heard me back to the car, the showroom, or a scrapyard.
It says, eh, if the car's got high mileage, you know, it'll drive itself to the scrapyard to be recycled.
Oh, okay, great.
I just, I missed a payment.
Yeah, tough.
We went ahead and smashed it for you.
Don't worry about it.
Thank you.
Now, they claim that they will give you a little leeway.
They said that they, what they'll do first is they'll disable some comfort features.
They'll play some noises inside the car and limiting where the vehicle can drive.
And then if all those fails and you still haven't made your payment and got all caught up,
well, then they're going to.
have no choice but to either drive it back to the showroom or to the scrapyard so here it comes make sure
that you purchase you purchase a car that doesn't have the self-driving repossess feature on it which i'm
sure every car of the future will have make your payments welcome or learn how to disable the feature
Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat.
A new study out reveals obesity is far more dangerous than previously reported.
I mean, it's been reported that us fat people are horrible human beings,
and so I don't know how much more dangerous it can be.
But according to a new paper published in the journal population studies from the University of Colorado Boulder,
and I love getting my copy of journal population studies from the University of Colorado Boulder.
Man, I just dig right in.
So people who are obese or carry excess weight face a risk of death anywhere from 22 to 91% higher than those at a healthy weight.
Existing studies have likely underestimated the mortality consequences of living in a country
where cheap, unhealthy food has grown increasingly accessible
and sedentary lifestyles have become the norm.
That's what the study's author and sociology professor
Ryan Masters in the University Press release said.
This study and others are beginning to expose the true toll
of this public health crisis.
Well, then why don't you let us get the drug, the weight loss drug?
Oh, that's too hard to find.
That's just for people who have diabetes.
You can't take it for weight loss.
So sorry about it.
Masters examined data from nearly 18,000 individuals between 1988 and 2015 from the National Health
and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Analyzing the body mass index, the BMI of individuals over time, allowed Masters to
counter deficiencies in the popular index that fails to capture the overall depiction of health.
It isn't fully capturing all the nuances in different sizes.
and shapes the body comes in, its reflection of the stature at a point in time.
After adjusting for those biases in BMI, and I've been an arguer about the biases in the BMI forever,
he found that people carrying excess weight had far worse mortality outcomes than previously known.
For groups born in the 70s or 80s who have lived their whole lives in this
Obesogenic Environment, the prospects of healthy aging into older adulthood does not look good.
At the same time, testosterone levels have fallen across the board in an environment saturated with endocrine disrupting chemicals.
Endocrine disrupting chemicals.
Say that right.
The maximum range used to identify men with low testosterone has fallen by 42% in the last decade as,
Low T becomes the new norm.
For men, testosterone is the primary sex hormone regulating metabolic function.
Yes, we're almost men are aware of what testosterone does.
So just know that if you're overweight, you are in trouble.
And you're in trouble now more than you have ever been.
Now, at the same time, they put out a study of how much short,
brisk daily walk could lower your health risk.
They talk about an 11-minute brisk walk every day,
or walking 75 minutes a week will lower your risk of stroke, heart disease,
and a number of cancers.
All right, this is all part of a new study from Cambridge University.
Researchers looked at 196 peer-reviewed articles,
which included more than 30 million study participants.
Wow.
And my son, at Better You Performance,
Better You Performance.com is a big believer of get out and move. Believe me, I hear it from him almost daily.
So 75 minutes of moderate exercise a week or an 11-minute brisk walk per day was found to reduce the risk of developing cancer by 7% and heart disease by 17%.
For head and neck cancer, gastricardia cancers, the decrease in risk was between 14 and 26%.
for other cancers like breast or colon cancer,
the reduction in risk with moderate exercise
was lower at 3 to 11%.
So get out and do a little vigorous walking for 11.
I'm sorry, they didn't use vigorous.
Brisk. Brisk walk every day for 11 minutes, will you?
Yeah, make that happen.
It's good for you and just make it a part of your lifestyle.
Habits.
Form habits.
You know, I feel like I'm,
Talking to my son.
All right, enough about health.
Let's talk about disease for a little bit, shall we?
A rare muscle disease in children linked to a specific single genetic mutation,
multi-systemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome affects fewer than 1,000 people in the U.S.
with symptoms often baffling doctors.
So a mass general team of investigators from a Massachusetts general,
hospital, Massachusetts General Brigham, a mass general for children, has identified the first
time this mutation for a young patient responsible for the extremely rare disease, which is known,
as I said, as the multi-systemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome, which causes profound
cerebral vascular gastrointestinal and urologic impairment.
I can't even say those words.
Cerebrovascular, gastrointestinal, and urologic impairment.
That does not sound like fun.
But at least we've identified the single variant in the microRNA gene,
the MIR 145-5P, as the source of the multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome,
which had gone undiagnosed in a child and other children for years.
years. So we're on it. All right? We're getting used to it. Now, I didn't realize that there was such a thing as a smooth muscle, and I'm not sure that this actually has anything to do with this particular disease. But the smooth muscle is an involuntary, non-straighted type of vertebrae muscle, capable of slow, rhythmic involuntary contractions. Smooth muscle also called an involuntary muscle. Is that like restless leg syndrome?
Compared to skeletal and cardiac muscles, smooth muscles are not straitated.
Their name shows that they have the smooth outlook.
I think that's right, stradiated, right?
St-R-I-A-T-E-D.
Their name shows that they have a smooth outlook and such muscles are used in the body system
to apply force to vessels of the blood and other body organs.
So, you know, be careful out there, all right?
You got to have your smooth muscles.
Speaking of other diseases and smooth body organs,
muscles. I see where Justin Bieber
has canceled all the remaining
dates of his Justice World Tour
and it has to do
with his facial
paralysis, the Ramsey
Hunt Syndrome.
And he wanted to, you know,
he said he canceled some of his tour dates
early on because he wanted to make health a priority.
And now the rest of the tour is
canceled. He was supposed to play in
some more shows than the U.S.,
Australia,
Europe and those have all been canceled.
So if you have tickets, you will automatically get your money back.
If you, you can check with the point of purchase for refunds for your show dates.
I know, I know, I know, I know.
Dry your eyes.
But Ramsey Hunt syndrome is when shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near someone's ears
resulting in paralysis of parts of the face.
It cannot be passed from one person to another,
but it is a complication from shingles,
which is linked to chickenpox virus
that many people can get when their children.
So it has absolutely nothing to do with the vaccine.
Okay?
Don't even think about saying that it had something to do with that.
Okay?
Because I won't hear of it.
I will not hear of it.
Let's go to the break room.
And I don't want to, no.
don't even don't think about it don't think it at all okay it had nothing to do with him getting the
vaccine for covid 19 not one single thing to do with it stop thinking about it let's go to the break
room it's something cold to drink i know i need something cold to drink desperately
so los angeles county is going to pay the wife of the late basketball superstar kobe brian
$29 million to settle a lawsuit over the allegations that sheriff officers and firefighters
shared gruesome photos of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe and his 13-year-old daughter.
So it's all taken care of now.
It's over.
And I guess we were holding those people who engaged, according to Mrs. Bryant,
in this grotesque conduct.
She fought for her husband and her daughter and all those in the community, according to her attorney.
I guess all those in the community are going to share on the $28.85 million.
So that includes the $15 million of the jury in a federal court awarded Vanessa Bryan in August in the case after finding that firefighters and deputies violated her privacy and caused her emotional distress.
Wow.
She sued Los Angeles County and alleging invasion of privacy after accusing members.
of the sheriffs and fire departments of sharing images of the crash in unofficial settings,
including patrons in a bar.
The attorney representing the county in the case.
The attorney representing the county in the case.
Yeah, the settlement was fair and reasonable.
Was it?
$28.85 million?
I, boy, holy cow.
She added that it resolves all outstanding issues.
related to the pending legal claims in the state court, future claims by the Bryant
children and other costs with each party responsible for its respective attorney's fees.
So the Bryant attorneys made a little bit of cash, and so did the, so did Kobe's wife and kids,
and get over it, you can't sue us again.
We'll see how that works out.
But, so it's over, at least on the Bryant's behalf, for $28.85 million from Los Angeles
County. Well, congratulations. Congratulations. I see where
Jelaine Maxwell has asked the U.S. Appeals Court to throw out her conviction for
helping the financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused teenage girls, saying she was immune
from prosecution and citing a slew of errors that allegedly tainted her trial.
So she asked the appeals court that if her conviction and the underlying indictment
were not thrown out.
She deserved a new trial or a resentencing.
So, Jeline 61, serving 20 years in prison after the jury convicted her in December of 2021,
on five charges for recruiting and grooming four girls for abuse by Epstein between 94 and 2004.
Now, of course, Jeffrey Epstein died or did he?
In 2019.
She claimed that a jury member,
she accuses a jury member of bias and continues the argument that Maxwell became a scapegoat following
well, yes, she claims that she was a scapegoat, no problem.
The government prosecuted Ms. Maxwell as a proxy for Jeffrey Epstein to satisfy public outrage.
Hello.
She goes on to talk about the five-year statute of limitations that passed when Maxwell was charged.
The judge who oversaw Maxwell's trial made crucial errors and inhumane jail conditions.
left Maxwell malnourished and sleep deprived, putting her at a disadvantage at trial.
She was so disoriented and diminished that she was unable to meaningfully assist in her own defense,
much less to testify.
So we'll see how it works.
A lack of access to her attorneys.
She talked about rats in her jail cell, vermin, I believe she called them.
And so we'll see what happens.
We'll see what happens to Jelaine Maxwell.
Does she get out?
She's still the scapegoat.
So good luck.
You know, I talked about not going to see cocaine bear,
which I'm very disappointed about it.
And I'm getting to it.
Okay, just leave me alone.
But do we talk about the company behind Shark Nato
is set to release,
Attack of the Meth Gator.
So,
be ready for more
animals on drugs movies
coming out since cocaine
bear has been such a huge
hit. There was also, you know,
a big thread on
cocaine bear 2
you know
Cocaine bear 2
kilo fun.
Cocaine bear 2
cocaine bear 3
the line.
The final line.
The straw that broke the bears
no, something like that.
There's plenty of other names going on,
so be ready for at least cocaine bear two.
And for sure, attack of the meth, Gator.
I mean, maybe we have,
we already have Attack of the Meth Gator on,
but we already could have number two in the works, right?
Filmed at Gatorland.
Meth Gators,
the revenge of Gators,
the revenge of Gators, the revenge.
of Gatorland,
meth gators on the rampage.
That would be, uh,
hello, that's what we need.
I should write that up.
We should make that happen.
Or I was reading a story where they found these ancient eggshells
that are now more,
on, uh,
the island of Madagascar.
And they,
the eggshells, they're believed to be more than 1,200 years old.
And so these eggs laid eggs bigger,
these, they're bigger than footballs.
And so they were part.
part of these birds called elephant birds that didn't fly.
And so we could have the attack of the elephant birds.
Now that would be awesome.
I mean, according to these scientists who've been studying,
I mean, one guy got a $25,000 grant to study the,
evolutionary, elusive elephant bird.
And they believe that if you were to arrive on the island of Madagascar,
you would have seen this elephant bird that was nine feet tall, more than 1,500 pounds,
outfitted with a pointy beak and a deadly foot talons.
How would you like to see that coming at you?
I know.
Elephant bird.
Feathery terror.
What say you?
Oh, great elephant bird.
Nine feet tall,
1500 pounds,
giant beak,
giant talons.
That's better than Math Gator.
I'll tell you that.
Although,
still gonna see Math Gator.
So who died today?
Who died today?
Horror film
legend
O'Rico Browning
played all the bad guys
starred as Gilman
and Creature from the Black Lagoon
He has passed away
From Natural Causes
At the age of 93
He was the last
surviving actor to play one of
the Universal Classic
Monsters
That was in the
1954
Classic
creature from the Black Lagoon.
I mean, he was an actor and stuntman.
He went on to produce the Dolphin Tail Flipper
for both the small and big screen.
He worked in Florida for a long time.
His dad did a lot of animal movies,
but he worked at Wikiwachi in Florida,
and then he went to Florida State University.
And then he said that he learned
to hold his breath
for a really long time,
which made it even scarier
in the movies.
But he said,
I developed a breathing technique
that enabled me to hold my breath
for so long that it gave people,
you know, that's what gave people the nightmares.
You breathe from the end of an air hose.
It was like you're in a backyard
and you have a hose running.
You drink what you want and you let the rest spill out.
Ask how long he was able to hold his breath.
Gilman actor said,
If you're not doing anything at all, four minutes as possible.
But not if you're moving in the water.
If you're swimming, fast, or fighting,
you use up a lot of oxygen and it cuts down,
cuts down at the most to two minutes.
So very sad.
One of the final classic horror movie guys passes away.
Rico Browning, dead at the age of 93.
Then we have who died today?
Diego Baria
is passed away at the age of 32.
He's been missing since the 18th of February
when he went out for a ride in his ATV.
The vehicle was found a couple days later near a beach,
but there were no signs of him.
Well, they found the missing
Argentina man's body inside a shark.
So, now, I don't know.
It doesn't say here, I guess,
I guess the shark jumped out of the water and took him off the ATV on the beach?
I don't know.
It doesn't say.
It just says the vehicle was found on the beach.
Is it possible that, uh, you know, someone fed him to the shark?
Sure.
It said that, uh, when they searched the beach, they located his helmet, which was dented and broken near the chin area.
Okay.
Now, they said that, uh,
his body was discovered by two fishermen in Argentina,
father of three after he vanished.
So they caught the shark.
And then it was just, hey, he's inside the shark.
Huh.
Interesting how that happened, isn't it?
Sure, it's just coincidence.
Sure, it's just coincidence.
And if you're asking yourself,
hey, how did they know it was?
him? Well, the fisherman
said we cut open the shark's belly
and we found a forearm
with a tattoo. So it's like the beginning
of a CSI episode.
And
the
forearm had a, the tattoo
that was on the forearm was
a Josephina. That's what the
tattoo said. And that's the same
tattoo that our man
Diego Baria
had on his forearm.
So Diego Barrio,
dead at the age of 32.
And I know it could have very well
been an accident and, you know,
something terrible could have happened.
But, and it was in
Argentina, so it has nothing to do
with what I'm telling you now.
Except that the crime
rates in the United States, according
to the FBI, that
nearly half of all murders
are left unsolved,
now would be a good time for you to
maybe, you know, think
about, well, you know what I'm talking about. So according to two non-profit organizations,
the Marshall Project and the Murder Accountability Project, and I love both those projects,
homicide clearance rates, the rate at which murders are solved, uh, duh, dropped from 71%
in 1980 to an all-time low of 50% in 2020. And that's based on the most recent numbers released by
the FBI.
They will release
2021 data later this year.
I will say that perhaps it has to do
maybe with a couple of things
and I'm getting ahead of the story a little bit
but more murders.
So, you know, they have more cases
and, you know, the FBI, along with other police departments,
are down on police officers.
I don't know if the FBI is short on special agents,
but the police departments are.
And also, I would say that I bet you there's a number of inner city murders that take place that are multiple murders by one shooter that they don't know who the murderer is.
So that kind of skews those numbers as well.
But in the story, it said the FBI reported that at least 400 murders in 2020 were cleared by exceptional means,
which indicates that the police believed they had enough evidence that were.
unsuccessful in making an arrest.
In these cases, it could mean that the suspect died, could not be extradited, or prosecutors
chose not to press charges.
Wow, that's interesting.
But the law enforcement solved 1,200 more homicides than the previous year.
At the same time, homicides increased, of course, by 30%.
So one of every two homicide cases was considered solved.
During that same time period, the national clearance rates for rape were 30% assault, 40%, robbery, 27%.
Burglaries, thefts, and arsons have the lowest clearance rate between 14 and 21%.
We're on the verge of being the first developed nation where the majority of homicides go uncleared.
That's Thomas Hargrove, founder of the Murder Accountability Project.
So there you have it in the United States.
times keep keep bad mouth of the police keep saying that uh you're not going to arrest people for
doing crimes and it's only going to get better right right oh and uh rick singer the mastermind
behind the infamous college admission scandals operation varsity blue oh yeah
Operation Varsity Blues is still going.
Tonight's episode,
Tonight's episode,
Country Blues.
So Rick Singer,
the mastermind behind it all,
was sentenced to three and a half years behind bars.
They were asking for a lot more.
I would have liked to have seen him get a lot more.
What they did do,
a number of these parents over this scandal is embarrassing to me.
this whole Operation Varsity Blues thing is agonizing.
And remember Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman went to jail.
Lori was there for a couple of months.
Felicity was there for like 11 days.
It was two weeks.
It was supposed to be more than,
it's supposed to be like 14 days.
But here, chewing the fat, we called it.
There was no way she was going to serve more than 11 days.
And that was correct.
But I would have liked to have seen Rick Singer get a whole lot more.
Uh-huh.
No doubt about it.
that now he is in prison in Florida he just turned himself in to the federal prison camp
Pensacola in Florida I wonder how the old camp Pensacola in Florida prison is I bet it's not
this I bet it's not super max I don't know that though I don't know that in prison is prison
okay so I'm not joking around about that
prison is prison, but it's good to know that at least finally, finally the streets are safe
without Rick Singer, the mastermind behind Operation Varsity Blues.
I push the wrong button.
Operation Varsity Blues.
Tonight's episode starring Lee Meriwether.
I freaking love that show open so much.
I just love it.
So I know it's just me.
Sorry.
When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering,
could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list?
Like this designer fragrance for my daughter.
At just $39.99, how could I resist?
This luxurious wool throw for my sister.
This gold watch for my partner?
A wooden puzzle for my niece?
Leather gloves for my boss?
Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard?
At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners?
Stop wondering. Start gifting.
Winners find fabulous for less.
Oh, breaking news as we record here Chewing the Fat today.

The 1st of March, 3123 already.
If you're listening live on this day, actor Tom Seismore, we talked about him having an aneurism and being in really bad shape.
Well, we're getting news now that the family believes that,
He cannot go on.
They're deciding end of life matters right now.
So coming to a who died today segment very soon, actor Tom Sysmore.
Be sure to follow me on Twitter at Jeffy JFR.

I'll be glad I'll be sad I'll be mean I'll be happy I'll be glad I'll be sad
that's my cameo song and so you can do that as well
and thank you for subscribing to this daily podcast
chewing the fat so we always talk about how
when pilots do bad things and when airlines do bad things
I wanted to mention an easy jet flight from Iceland to England.
They were all happy because the pilot made a 360 degree turn over the North Sea
to let the passengers on both sides of the plane see the amazing display of the northern lights.
So thank you to the pilot of the easy jet plane that went ahead and did the big 360 turn
so that everyone would be able to see the northern.
lights. All right, we're going to turn this thing around. We're going to make a great big circle.
So both sides, both sides of the plane. Now look out your window. You'll be able to see the northern lights.
Thank you. This is your captain speaking. I mean, that's awful. That's nice. That's nice.
Then we have the airline story. It has nothing to do with the help with the sky waitresses.
But it has to do with the lady who was pissed because the guy sitting next to her in the middle seat.
had a whole box, a full box of barbecue ribs, fries,
and some kind of other thing in the box.
There's a picture of it.
It looks good.
Man, those barbecue ribs and fries look really, really good in the picture, man.
I am not kidding.
Barbecue sauce.
Oh, buttered cord on the cob and a whole side of chips,
which is fries since this is the plane was going from Glasgow Airport.
And so this lady.
said that this guy bought this substantial takeaway from Frankie and Benny's.
So if you are ever in Glasgow and you want to get Frankie and Benny's barbecue ribs and chips along with corn on the cob, I would do so.
Because that box looks good.
So she was pissed because they got, they boarded the plate.
And after taking a seat in the middle row, the man just cracked open the old box and started eating his ribs and fries.
awesome. I love him. What a hero. Now, I'd be a little, you know, it's kind of agonizing in a small
space of an airplane. You got the guy eating the ribs. But we've all had people eat whatever they
order and it smells like, you know, it's like, oh, who's eating that? Come on. And so you've got to
try to, you know, get past it. But she snapped a picture of it and it's now, you know, gone viral.
And, you know, the rest, she captioned the image. No chance is the guy next to me eating a full
check full rack of ribs plus sides on this plane get the f out now it's just going viral and everyone
is commenting on it uh people have uh you know some people are mad and some people are happy
i don't even like using my laptop in the middle seat uh there's a short list of foods that
should be illegal to sell in an airport yeah you shouldn't have ribs sold at an airport they
probably cost a pretty penny too man a rack of ribs and fries at an airport
$8 million, please.
One
user said, hey, get revenge,
keep going to the bathroom.
Because she's next to the window, right?
So everybody has to get up for her to move.
And a man also said that,
he should be sent to jail
for inflicting his choice of meal
on other passengers.
Now, I know that's funny stuff,
and people don't really mean that.
Or don't they?
I mean, we hear a lot of stuff
about social media these days.
But what I mean, the guy, awesome.
And it takes some guts, man.
Take some guts.
I would feel bad.
I would feel bad because you know the whole plane is just going to be permeated with your ribs smell and fries.
But I got to tell you, the picture makes the ribs look awesome.
So if you have that opportunity, like I said, if you happen to be flying from out of Glasgow
and you got a minute.
You might want to stop off at Frankie and Beny's
and get yourself a rack of ribs and some fries.
It would be awesome.
Now, they look much better than what you would get at Noma,
the three Michelin Star restaurant
that's topped the world's 50 best restaurants at least five times.
It said it was closing in 2024
and foodies were quick to more in the impending
death of this particular
Noma, which is in Copenhagen.
So this British journalist
Ferris Store
had gone to Noma, and
her review was not
good. It's a great
story. She talks about how
her and her husband have been wanting to try
chef René Recepi's
edible opus for the past
decade, noting that it was impossible
to get a table. We were finally
able to snag a lunch reservation
with the juice pairing.
the meal ran about 700 bucks a person
about the cost of a second-hand Ford Fiesta
and it was hardly worth it.
You go with high expectations, gold star stuff.
She was well acquainted with the restaurant
and the sort of unorthodox foods she might be served.
You might find ants on your plate
or reindeer brain custard as we did.
They didn't have any beluga lung though.
as we talked about yesterday.
So apparently,
a gnomah in Copenhagen
does not serve
fresh beluga lung meat.
But that could be coming to a
noma near you soon.
Maybe even reindeer penis,
which they also were served.
Man, I'll tell you what.
There is nothing that sounds better
than a reindeer brain custard
along with reindeer penis.
Done right?
You can't top that.
You can't.
So it was also called
served in a cold,
nutty salad.
They don't reveal exactly
what's in your said salad
until the very end
when they pass you the menu
with half a smirk.
And I'm okay with that.
I mean, that's what you kind of look forward to.
And she said the entire kitchen staff
greeted all the diners upon entry
and that they also
were a little stuck up, all of them.
Okay.
And there were 15 courses served
for the $1,400 lunch for two.
So you're in a hoity-to-dy place.
with all the with all the bourgeois and you're eating at noma and they're serving you whatever it is they want to and you are going to love it whether you want to or not so the dining experience began with a cup of tepid tea that was proffered as though it was a bowl of mine gold
So the diners were then greeted by the entire kitchen staff
And every server seemingly looked the same
The chefs uttered the familiar
Yes, each time a dish was ready to be served
It was fun at first
But an hour into lunch it felt like oral torture
She's strange and frightening
slavish devotion.
She returned to it as
nomacore.
When I left some of my reindeer
brain custard inside the skull
in which it was served,
as did the table behind us, by the way,
not because it was essentially
brain juice,
but because it was chalky and unpleasant.
The waitresses looked angry,
and she went to,
the waitress looked angry
and she went to lift my plate.
Not comfortable with the off of all.
I explained that that was not the case
at all, rather that the texture rendered it difficult to eat.
There was no smile, no apology, only a sneer.
I felt as though I had somehow failed Noma.
Two courses later, hubby wants to go to the bathroom,
but the waitress says, your next course is coming.
You'll have to wait.
So they wouldn't even let them go to the bathroom.
But they did bring him another cup of tepid tea
that tastes as though someone had put their marlore red out in it.
And maybe they did.
they may have.
How's the chef's way of making it different?
Just put your cigarette butt out in it.
You just, you know, you don't know.
So also she left her teacup half full.
And she was scolded.
Could you at least appreciate it?
So they got their dishes.
One, which included a saffron ice cream dish
that tasted simultaneously like Play-Doh and nothing at all.
Noting a server commented,
Not a fan of saffron?
No, not a fan of ice cream that tastes like Barbie's legs.
I wanted to scream, but I didn't.
Numa was beginning to feel less like a treat and more like an endurance test.
By the end of our meal, Storr questioned her own journalistic integrity,
racking her brain about why she wasn't enjoying the meal.
Was the problem us?
Then she realized other diners were rejecting their cold plates of food as well.
So now it's more like a cult than a restaurant.
And what's worse?
They left hungry.
So that's a great review of Noma in Copenhagen.
Just awesome.
But she got to taste, you know, a little reindeer penis.
Yum.
Yum.
I mean, I think I really would rather have beluga whale lung than reindeer penis.
served cold for lunch?
No, thank you.
You know what?
I'll take the rack of ribs
with corn on the cob
and a whole side of chips
from Frankie and Johnny's in Glasgow
way before I go to Nomas in Copenhagen.
Okay?
Plus, I'd rather have either the ribs
or today is National Peanut Butter's Day.
I'd rather have a little peanut butter.
Just a little peanut butter.
I don't know if I'd like to have it on
what she calls Barbie.
I'm not a fan of ice cream that tastes like Barbie's legs.
I'm not sure what Barbie's legs taste like, but between the reindeer brain
brain custard and the reindeer penis and the tea that tasted like a Marlboro red cigarette
butt had been put out in it.
I got a pretty good idea that what the ice cream tasting like Barbie's legs tasted like.
